“Jennifer was an absolute pleasure to work with. I could tell our two pups felt safe and were taken care of. They were completely at ease and wagging tails when we picked them up! I got plenty of updates and photos throughout the weekend which is always appreciated. We will absolutely have Jennifer watch them again!😊🐶”
“It can be so nerve racking leaving a working breed dog with anyone, but Jonathan is amazing. He sent lots of amazing pictures of their adventures and really put my mind at ease. He’s so calm and really seems to just love being around dogs. Couldn’t recommend him more!”
“Ryder absolutely loved his time with Colin! We had something unexpected come up and needed a very last minute Dog Sitter and Colin was incredibly accommodating! He went out of his way to walk him at a specific requested time so that we could make pick up and getting home easier on our schedules! Will definitely be using again!”
“Carmen was wonderful with my little princess. She took great care of her and I feel like she listened to me and was very good at communication with me while she was taking care of Uma. Thank you Carmen”
“Roxy is our go to sitter for our little guy Waffle. He adores her and just loves playing with all the other little pups during his stay. He is an extra cuddly ham and gets worried when he’s away from his family but Roxy always gives him extra love so he can enjoy his time away. We know Waffle is well loved & cared for and it gives us peace of mind while we are traveling.”
“I’ve had such a great experience with Ryan! He is incredibly dependable and reliable, which gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away. He’s also super flexible and always willing to help out, even when I book on short notice. What really stands out is how accommodating he is—he genuinely pays attention to my dog’s needs and goes above and beyond to make sure she’s comfortable and happy. It’s clear he truly cares, and that means everything to me. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to care for their pet!”
“I can’t thank Rebecca enough for the love and care she and her mom showed to my baby Mojo 5 days away and she supplied me with constant reassurance and peace of mind. Thank you sooooo much Rebecca.”
“Lucinda took wonderful care of our dog Kona while we were away! She sent daily photo updates, kept us in the loop throughout the stay, and was always quick to respond to messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our pup was well cared for and happy. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Lucinda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and thoughtful sitter!”
“I recently booked 6 nights with Shelley S. and was extremely happy with her! She provided such care in administering medications to my dog, and loving companionship! Shelley suggested that I bring my dog over to her place for a "meet & greet" with her and her small dog, prior to leaving town, to ensure my dog felt comfortable and establish familiarity. I took my dog over to her place twice before leaving town, each visit lasting a couple of hours. This was a very kind & caring gesture made by Shelley! My dog got along very well with her dog! Shelley took the dogs for walks, and spoiled my dog with a lot of attention & love! I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in good hands! I highly recommend Shelley S!”
“Alyssa was a great sitter for my pup. Quick to respond, sent lots of pics and was very accommodating. Her pup Leo is adorable and got along great with mine. Her yard is a great bonus. Highly recommend!”
“Charli is absolutely amazing!!!!!!! We were nervous about leaving our stubborn but sweet boy for a few days with a new rover but Charli went above and beyond to ease our worries. She sent detailed updates and we could tell Mushu felt so at home with her. It’s safe to say he’s found a new best friend!! We will gladly use Charli again. Can’t thank her enough. Look no further for the best doggie care 🫶🏻”
“We are so grateful that we found Lucero. She gave wonderful care to our dog. It was clear from the updates and videos that he was loved, comfortable and well cared while we were away. We could tell that our dog was happy and felt at home with her. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving and caring dog sitter.”
“This is our second time with Ellie. She is wonderful, and very communicative! My dog clearly loved her, and got so excited to go back a second time. Highly recommend:)”
About: Based in Ocean Park and serving Santa Monica, Venice, and the Westside, I've been around animals my entire life. I grew up in Utah on a ranch with six dogs, horses, chickens, cats, and just about every other animal you can imagine. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I'm an avid outdoorsman and spend much of my free time hiking, exploring trails, surfing, and enjoying everything Southern California has to offer. I have a 4-year-old pug named Kofi, and dogs are already a huge part of my daily routine. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I love taking dogs on adventures, whether that's a neighborhood walk, a trip to the park, a beachside stroll, or a scenic hike overlooking Los Angeles. Every dog is different, and I take the time to understand their personality, energy level, and needs. My goal is simple: treat every dog like they're my own and make sure they come home happy, exercised, and excited for the next adventure. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I work from home and spend much of my week walking, hiking, and caring for dogs. I also have a friendly 4-year-old pug named Kofi, so my days are naturally built around walks, outdoor time, and making sure dogs get the exercise and attention they need. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Whether it's a neighborhood walk, a trip to the park, or a longer adventure, I genuinely enjoy spending my time with dogs. I care for every dog as if they were my own. I have a friendly 4-year-old pug named Kofi who often joins us on walks and adventures. Dogs in my care get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection throughout the day. I love taking dogs on long walks, exploring local neighborhoods, parks, and beachside paths whenever appropriate. Because I work from home and have a flexible schedule, dogs are rarely left alone for long periods of time. I make sure they have regular bathroom breaks, fresh water, exercise, and a comfortable environment where they feel safe and relaxed. We often bask in the sun on my patio as well! My goal is always to make your dog feel at home and give them a fun, enriching day while you're away.
“Kimberley is the best!! She kept my kitty in a smaller space so that she can acclimate better to the new location and would slowly expose my kitty to other pets if there’s any. Kimberley is very responsible and communicative. Will definitely book with her again!!”
“Really appreciative of the genuine care and time spent with my senior pup. If you’re looking for 1:1 attention for your dog, great communication and updates, as well as leaving them overnight in a very safe environment, without second guessing any concerns after you leave (which is always a challenging aspect in finding care for your fur kids, especially a senior), this is the sitter for you. Thank you!”
“Jamie was absolutely great with my dog while I was out of town. Regular updates with both photos and videos! Very communicative which was greatly appreciated for my first time leaving my dog. I would definitely recommend Jamie to anyone who is looking for dog boarding!”

“Alyssa is everything you want in a catsitter! She is friendly, reliable, and so good with cats. She has a cat of her own so has experience and knows just what to do to ensure your cats are happy and well-cared for. My trip was much easier knowing she was watching them. I got updates and lots of cute pictures everyday. My cats can be a little shy but they warmed right up to her. Couldn’t recommend Alyssa more!”
“Anne-Elisabeth was more than great, she exceeded expectations. She followed instructions and then went above and beyond. With Anne-Elisabeth, your furry loved one - and home - could not be in better hands!”
“So happy with how well Samanta took care of our cats! Usually we’re very nervous leaving our cats for long periods of time, but Samanta was super communicative and extra attentive to our kitties making it so that we never had to worry!”
“Alena was kind, very responsive & communicated throughout the trip making my mind at ease. She asked questions and went above & beyond. Highly recommend! My dog & cat loved her. Thank you Alena!”
About: I genuinely love cats and understand that every cat has their own personality and routine. Whether your cat is playful, shy or independent, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive, patient and reliable, and I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, playtime, medication instructions and any special care your cat may need. I’ll also make sure they get lots of love, attention and a calm environment.
“Jonathan was great with the dogs and so, so helpful. He took both my dogs for a walk (even though the drop-in was just for one), and bathed Fennec like a pro. It was the dog’s first time getting blow-dried, and he didn’t care for that part. It took both Jonathan and me to hold him and was no easy feat! Friendly, knowledgeable, great with dogs.”
“Amy was just the sitter we needed for a quick weekend trip! She was able to come by and meet our kitties before we left, sent cute pictures each time she dropped in, and kept them happy and cared for the entire time. Would definitely recommend Amy!”
“Randi is amazing! I can tell how much she loves animals from the pictures and videos she sends. It’s clear that my cats can tell too. It feels great knowing they will get good vibes and not feel abandoned when I’m out of town.”
“Nadya, is amazing! She is my go to for my cat Joey She takes the best care of him and he loves her.! Knowing that she is taking care of him while I am away gives me so much peace of mind. She is so easy to get in touch with and replies so fast and is always flexible with dates and times too which is great. She is simply the best!”
“Birutė was extremely attentive and kind to our two cats while we were gone for over a week. She went above and beyond to help us when we ran into some other issues in the house (loud noises that were disruptive for our cats) while we were gone. Highly recommend!”
“Sophia was absolutely wonderful. She is a fantastic walker and sitter who is punctual, communicative, and puts the dog's well-being first. When my dog was feeling anxious and refusing walks during the visits, Sophia handled it beautifully—she adapted very well, sat down to comfort my dog, and communicated with me. She made sure my dog was well-fed and cared for. Will be booking her again in the future!”
“This will be Oliver’s second time choosing Ms. Michelle to stay with him. He absolutely loves her! He has psychogenic alopecia and wicked anxiety; finding a sitter was always a problem until Michelle. I mean, he practically bum rushes her, and he never approaches strangers. Michelle is an absolute treat to have and we actually just booked her to drop in on Oliver for our next trip.”
About: I understand and respect the animals and I’m a trained dog trainer from all the training lessons I took when my dog was a puppy. And my dog who recently passed away was a very well behaved sweet girl even though she was a diva when I just got her. I’m not ready for another dog anytime soon but at the same time I still want to have the chance to take care of dogs and cats and I’m pretty good at it :) I work from home and for myself so my schedule is pretty flexible, and I have plenty of free time which I wish I could use them on playing with your dog. Let me know what’s your dogs’s favorite game and I can also bring some toys for us to play. I can respect their boundary while give them all the attention they need
“Karlie was great! Very communicative and seems to have won over even our skittish cat with ease. We came home after a long weekend to two very happy cats, and what more can you ask for?”
“Kellee was great! She accommodated my last minute booking including a meet and greet. She took the time to get to know my kitties and the medication routine. She was communicative and clearly took the time to truly care for my senior cat. I will definitely be using her again.”
About: Cat sitter & owner with 15 years of experience caring for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to sweet seniors. I know every cat has their own personality, preferences and ways of communicating so I'm happy to be flexible, patient and detail-oriented in whatever routine & care makes them feel most comfortable, safe and cared for!
About: Hi, I’m Iqra! I’ve grown up with cats my whole life and have three cats of my own. I can recognize what a cat needs based off their body language and i’m skilled in providing specialized care, such as medication. I can get even the most scared cat to approach me! As a current USC Masters student, I have a lot of free time this summer to look after your cats. Let me know when you need me to swing by and i’ll make sure your best friend is taken care of. I’ll enter your home with the same respect i’d want someone to give my home, in addition to ensuring that your cats are protected and safe.
“Jason has just be the best petsitter one could possibly asked. He has been very reliably coming to feed and play with our two cats, sent outstanding pictures (always heartwarming when you are far away from your furry friends), and great updates in a daily basis. We would definitely book Jason’s services again whenever needed. Thank you very much Jason”

“You know how dogs can tell whether someone is a good person? Yeah, my dog leaned his head against Christelle’s leg immediately. We were in a bind and needed dog sitting at the last minute and we were so fortunate she was available. They hung out at an amazing dog park and her pup and our dog had a blast.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently have a 100-pound Golden Retriever named Kevin. Caring for a large, active dog has given me experience with daily walks, exercise, playtime, feeding routines, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable away from home. I know every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, beach adventures, or just relaxing and getting attention, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, and loving environment while keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine with my own Golden Retriever, Kevin. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I make sure every dog gets the care, exercise, and love they need to feel comfortable and happy while they’re with me. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a friendly 100-pound Golden Retriever named Kevin who loves other dogs and helps make visiting pups feel right at home. Dogs are always supervised, have plenty of fresh water, exercise, playtime, and a comfortable place to relax. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pup is in good hands.
“Jonathan was a lifesaver for us! He watched our dog, Bailey, on very short notice and took incredible care of her. Bailey usually gets very anxious when we’re away, but she was happy and relaxed when we picked her up. She loved the walks and having other pups to play with. It’s such a relief to find someone Bailey feels comfortable with. We highly recommend Jonathan for your pups!”
“Elliot was super sweet with my dog Cookie, and was able to watch her on short notice which was very appreciated. Cookie even looked a little sad when we had to say goodbye to Elliot, so she must have loved her time with him!”
“Jana and Samuel were amazing with my dog Frida! It was wonderful that they left the back door open so she could run in and out, and she loved playing with their kids! Great family and environment :)”
“Heather is an absolutely wonderful sitter! She frequently left detailed updates providing my dog with loving attention, care, and kindness that left me with a real peace of mind throughout the whole entire day. This was my first time using this service and she did such an outstanding job that left me completely satisfied. 10/10”
“I told Roxanne that I wouldn't trust anybody with my dog except her. First, she's one of the most caring and sweetest people you'll ever meet. She's always available to speak at a moments notice, extremely accommodating and a gracious host. Her house is the perfect place which allows dogs to roam inside or out; with plenty of space and always clean. She takes the dogs for a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood to ensure they never feel confined - to her already - spacious backyard. Everything she does clearly helps with socialization - my dog was completely at ease with the pack which I've never seen before. You'll never miss a moment of the fun because she sends you pictures of your pooch throughout the day and night. It always looks like a children's camp - everyone in the pack is having a great time - and they never seem ready to leave. Rest assured, your K-9 is in the best of hands and under a watchful and caring eye. She's a special person.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Maddie is truly the BEST dog sitter I could have ever found for Wylie. She is so attentive, communicative, and genuinely cares about him like he’s her own. I get tons of picture updates throughout the day (which I absolutely love), and she always keeps me in the loop on how he’s doing. Wylie comes home happily exhausted every single time — which tells me he’s getting so much love, playtime, and attention while he’s with her. It gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, loving, and goes above and beyond, Maddie is 100% your girl. Wylie and I are so lucky to have found her!”
About: Hello! My name is Nicole (or Nikki!) and have been watching dogs around my community for 3 years! I have done everything from walk dogs, day time babysit, and have dogs stay for the weekend. My three roomates and I are all registered and certified on Rover so we always have a furry friend around the house + our dog Beau! Rover is my fav way to make a passive income while getting to hangout with the best pups on the westside! I’m a weekend dog sitter and dedicate my weekends to the dogs I am watching. I spend most of my weekends going on long with the dogs and just hanging around the house. I work in office 5 days a week so I do enjoy staying at home during the weekends I take very special care of all the animals I watch and never leave them unattended. I love to send pictures of the animals to the owners while watching them
“Tory was wonderful with our golden. She was loving, kind, played with her and patient as she does have anxiety. We have already booked additional stays with her and highly recommend her to others.”
“Jinyen and her family are the best!! This is the third (maybe 4th?) time they have cared for my pup and they are always my first call when I need care. They keep me updated through the day with the cutest pics, were flexible to unexpected schedule changes, and took my pup on adventures to the beach! They clearly love having the dogs around and want them to have a good stay. 11/10 recommend!”
About: I grew up with both cats and dogs, so I truly understand how much they mean to a family. I genuinely love caring for animals and always adapt to each pet’s unique personality. I take into account their breed, age, and energy level to make sure they get the right balance of attention, play, and rest. Living in Santa Monica has been amazing—I walk or run by the beach every day, often twice, and it’s even better with a dog by my side. I’m excited to meet you and your fur baby! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work remotely from home. That means your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and love throughout the day. I’m here for walk breaks, playtime, and snuggles—making sure your pup feels safe, cared for, and never alone for long. I care for dogs with the same love and attention I give my own. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a safe, calm, and nurturing environment. I follow your pet’s routine, give plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles, and always prioritize their comfort, health, and happiness. Every dog is treated like family.
“Damaris was such a great host for Jet's daycare - she took him on several walks and provided a ton of pictures throughout the day. Not to mention she was super friendly and responsive each step of the way :) will definitely love to have Jet stay with her again”
About: I have experience in taking care of dogs for about 10 years. I just love spending time with them, play and taking care for them. I’m available most of the week for dog sitting and boarding. I’ll make sure your pets are loved and well taken care of. I spend most of my time at home. I wake up at 6 am every day, I do beach walks 3-4 times a week.

About: I’m a dog lover who enjoys taking long walks in our beautiful city and being close to nature. I’ve cared for many wonderful dogs and small animals, and I truly enjoy giving them the attention and love they deserve. I’m in training to be a dog trainer 🐶 I have flexible hours since I work independently, mostly from home. The times of the day when I’m most available is Mon-Fri from 9 - 8 and some availability during weekends. I have a fenced yard and live close to many parks. I don’t have pets at the moment, I could host a dog that is good with children. My boys are gentle and loving with animals.
“Scout always has a great time with Gwen and her pup! She’s super flexible when it comes to booking and is very understanding of my dog’s quirks. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a sitter for a day or overnight.”
About: Hi! I’m Carley, a lifelong dog lover and experienced care taker (with a soft spot for Dachshunds 🐾). I understand that your pup isn’t like family - they are family. I care for one family's pup(s) at a time to provide exclusive, 1:1 premier care that reflects your dog’s unique needs and your high standards. No chaos, no crowded environments, just devoted attention, gentle structure, and real connection. I specialize in high-touch, detail-oriented care. If you bring your dog everywhere, make their meals, and expect nothing short of exceptional, we’ll get along great. With me, your dog will feel at home, loved, and deeply cared for, the way you’d do it yourself. For those that value quality over quantity - you've found your perfect match! I work from home and have the flexibility to tailor my day around your pup's needs, including potty breaks, play time and walks, as needed. At the discretion of their owner but willing to spoil your pet as I do my own with endless love, attention, play time and care. If your dog is at my home, I guarantee it will have one on one care as I only take one dog at a time (unless there are multiple dogs from the same owner). This allows me to dedicate all my love and attention to that pet for high quality care.

“Kellee came through in a pinch when another dog walker became ill. She is gracious and energetic. My neighbors touted her sweetness & TLC with my pup, which greatly lended to my ease with continuing her service. It speaks volumes when others recognize your goodness when they have no cause to. Thank you Kellee🐕🦺🐾💛”
“Great walk with Collin. He picked up our dog from our place and took him on a great scenic walk. Thanks so much for making it easy for us. On time, quick communicator, and Rory loves him!”
“Prompt response. Very caring and shows she cares for dogs. Birutė is very personable, very diligent in following instructions and shows she is committed to taking good care of my pup. She was punctual, sent me quick feedback about her contact with my dog, asked questions appropriately. I would highly recommend!”
About: I grew up around dogs and have had large dogs of my own. This taught me how to care for dogs of all temperaments and how to get to know each dogs preferred walking and play style. I enjoy getting to know each pets rhythms and keeping them conformable as they get their daily exercise.

Whether it’s regular dog walking in Santa Monica or reliable drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure every pet feels secure and cared for. I am currently on a gap summer before continuing my education, and enjoy pet sitting as a way to save up some money for school between volunteering and working on my summer research project. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment for every pet in my care. I take the time to get to know each animal so I can provide care that is tailored to their individual needs, routines, and personality. I care for every pet as if they were my own, always paying attention to their comfort, behavior, and well-being. With experience caring for a wide range of animals, I understand that every pet has unique boundaries and quirks, and I make it a priority to respect those while building trust at their own pace. My goal is to ensure each pet feels secure, understood, and comfortable while in my care.
“Amy was quick to respond, detail oriented, punctual and caring for todays walk. She was so gracious about me booking a service last minute and very understanding. I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: Volunteered at an animal shelter and at an aquarium each for a year, respectively. Also have had cats for 10+ years, so I have plenty of day-to-day experience dealing with pets. I'm a UC Berkeley student back in Santa Monica for the summer (from now to mid-August), which means I can work basically whatever hours or whatever day of the week. Petting and playing with your pet, taking them for extra long walks, maybe even running with them for a little bit, if they seem down for it, feeding them (as specified), etc.
“Thank you so much, Arezu! We just love Arezu and really appreciate how good she is to my Everest. She always communicates and makes us feel comfortable leaving our beloved Husky mix with her. She is the best!”
“Anna was great with my high energy border collie!! I was in town working long hours for 2 weeks straight and felt bad for my pup in my hotel room. Anna was open to the idea of taking a room key and letting herself into my hotel room to take phoenix for a walk. Many days she took her for longer than her time slot and took her around town on different adventures and also let her meet her pup. I could tell she really cared for Phoenix and trusted her with my baby at all times. :)”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and have always enjoyed company of an animal. I have also helped neighbors with their dogs with feeding, walks, and accompanying them. I am capable of lifting dogs of higher weights in the case it’s necessary. I am actively looking for work as such, I can be available at any time in the day and all week long when requested to do a service. I have my own dog who gets walked an ample distance a day and play within the house. As for a potential clients animal, I would follow all given instructions and make sure the animal is well cared for during the time I am there.

“Arzu is a dog whisperer through and through. She has been professional, consistent, kind, and responsive. Our two pittie mixes Yoshi and Lyric adore Arzu and they have been happier and calmer since they have been spending time with Arzu. Our family is certain that Arzu is a true gift to furry friends everywhere. Arzu - thank you for everything!”

He’s also super flexible and always willing to help out, even when I book on short notice. What really stands out is how accommodating he is—he genuinely pays attention to my dog’s needs and goes above and beyond to make sure she’s comfortable and happy. It’s clear he truly cares, and that means everything to me. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to care for their pet!”

We could tell that our dog was happy and felt at home with her. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving and caring dog sitter.”
About: Based in Ocean Park and serving Santa Monica, Venice, and the Westside, I've been around animals my entire life. I grew up in Utah on a ranch with six dogs, horses, chickens, cats, and just about every other animal you can imagine. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I'm an avid outdoorsman and spend much of my free time hiking, exploring trails, surfing, and enjoying everything Southern California has to offer. I have a 4-year-old pug named Kofi, and dogs are already a huge part of my daily routine. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I love taking dogs on adventures, whether that's a neighborhood walk, a trip to the park, a beachside stroll, or a scenic hike overlooking Los Angeles. Every dog is different, and I take the time to understand their personality, energy level, and needs. My goal is simple: treat every dog like they're my own and make sure they come home happy, exercised, and excited for the next adventure. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I work from home and spend much of my week walking, hiking, and caring for dogs. I also have a friendly 4-year-old pug named Kofi, so my days are naturally built around walks, outdoor time, and making sure dogs get the exercise and attention they need. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Whether it's a neighborhood walk, a trip to the park, or a longer adventure, I genuinely enjoy spending my time with dogs. I care for every dog as if they were my own. I have a friendly 4-year-old pug named Kofi who often joins us on walks and adventures. Dogs in my care get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection throughout the day. I love taking dogs on long walks, exploring local neighborhoods, parks, and beachside paths whenever appropriate. Because I work from home and have a flexible schedule, dogs are rarely left alone for long periods of time. I make sure they have regular bathroom breaks, fresh water, exercise, and a comfortable environment where they feel safe and relaxed. We often bask in the sun on my patio as well! My goal is always to make your dog feel at home and give them a fun, enriching day while you're away.
“Jamie was absolutely great with my dog while I was out of town. Regular updates with both photos and videos! Very communicative which was greatly appreciated for my first time leaving my dog. I would definitely recommend Jamie to anyone who is looking for dog boarding!”
“We feel so incredibly grateful to have found Nicole and Sean. Our pup means the world to us and for the few occasions where we cannot bring her with us when we travel by plane it is a load off our minds knowing we have found a safe, loving home to leave her with.”
