“Yi Ling did such a great job with my 2 pups. She updated me daily about their walks and feeding. She was very polite and professional. When I picked my 2 dogs up they were happy and seemed to enjoy their time with her. I would highly recommend her for your pets and will be using again when I go out of town.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Delane when she cared for Monet for three days. From the very beginning, during our meet and greet, we genuinely enjoyed our conversation with her. Delane is such a lovely and thoughtful person, and clearly experienced with dogs. Her dog, Lucy, is absolutely sweet and gentle, and Monet and Lucy got along very well. Delane’s home is warm and welcoming, and Monet settled in right away. She kept us updated throughout Monet’s stay, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that Monet was not only well cared for, but also comfortable. We would happily book with Delane again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, warm, and dependable caregiver. Thank you, Delane!!”

We will definitely be using Alex again. Thank you!”

I’ve also fostered many dogs, giving me experience supporting pets through transitions and helping them feel secure in new environments. I also have veterinary assistant experience in a veterinary hospital that includes patient support, client communication, and animal welfare. ⸻ 🐕 Reactive, Nervous & Training-Support Experience Through fostering and hands-on care, I’ve worked with reactive, nervous, and shy dogs, using calm handling and desensitization techniques to build confidence and reduce stress.

As a student in a veterinary technology program, animal care is already a central part of my life, and I structure my schedule to allow plenty of time and flexibility for pets in my care. This allows me to be reliable and attentive with dog walks, drop-in visits, and care while owners are away, without rushing or cutting corners. I’m used to planning my days around animals’ needs, including consistent feeding times, exercise, enrichment, and observation. Because of this, I’m able to provide dependable, focused care and give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I also take great pride in taking pictures and updates of the animals in my care. So you can also feel connected and comfortable being away from your furry companions. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on providing a safe, structured, and comfortable environment that meets each pet’s individual needs. I live in an apartment but am surrounded by nature trails, which allows for plenty of exercise, enrichment, and mental stimulation through regular walks and outdoor time. In my home, pets have designated, secure areas for rest, feeding, and play, and I carefully manage space to prevent stress or unsafe interactions. I do not have any permanent animals in my residence, which allows me to fully focus on the pets in my care, though I do foster puppies occasionally with proper separation and supervision. Safety is always a top priority—I follow secure leash practices, maintain a clean environment, monitor behavior closely, and strictly follow owner instructions to ensure every pet feels protected, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

“Yi Ling did such a great job with my 2 pups. She updated me daily about their walks and feeding. She was very polite and professional. When I picked my 2 dogs up they were happy and seemed to enjoy their time with her. I would highly recommend her for your pets and will be using again when I go out of town.”
“Amber is great with dogs! She is very calm and in control. She was able to get our dogs to be friendly during introduction even when Guinness was being protective. It seems like Guinness had a great 2 days with Amber and Bubba. Thanks Amber! We will be a repeat customer.”
“Kyle and Desiree were amazing! This was Gumbo's first boarding experience and the whole family treated her like one of their own. Their daughter even made her a personalized neck bandana! They were very generous in taking her on long walks and sending lots of pictures. They were very professional and keep detailed records for each client. I Highly recommend!”
“I look forward to taking Finn to Ben’s when we go out of town. Finn loves playing with his two dogs, especially his 1-year-old energetic pup with amazing agility! Ben walks Finn along the lakes. We can tell he loves all kinds of dogs and that this is a passion for him, not just a job! He sends photos that warm our hearts. We will continue to bring Finn to Ben for his care of Finn!”
“Kimberly was highly communicative, flexible, and showed my pup the love and care that we give her at home. I really appreciated the text updates and pictures and will certainly be boarding with her again. It was a great experience all around.”
“Amazing sitter! I’m always leery about leaving Deacon with strangers. Jessica was my first Rover sitter that I have used and I’m proud to say she will be my only sitter that I will use. Her communication, concern, care, and overall sitter skills were absolutely amazing. I can’t thank her enough for providing an outstanding experience.”
“Carrie took Ziggy for a few days for us while we were on a trip! She's got a great setup for boarding and daycare, lots of space to run and play. Her dogs got along with Ziggy well. She was very responsive and kept us updated on all things. Will definitely use again when traveling.”
“Gunther had a blast staying at Sidney’s place. He came back happy and exhausted from all the playing he did. Sidney is a good communicator and provided constant updates and pictures. Definitely recommend and definitely we will book again.”
“Quick communication and flexible schedules that allowed us to leave our dog with them for longer than planned. We felt comfortable knowing our girl was being well taken care of.”
“This is our second time booking. Tyran and Sharaya and their kids are fantastic and took such great care of our dogs. We are so lucky to have found such a wonderful family, and we are able to relax while on vacation knowing they are in such great hands. We really appreciated the daily pictures. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our fur babies!”
“Brittany, Ayman, and Pino truly welcomed Pepper as part of their family. Their communication and updates throughout the stay were exceptional, which gave us so much peace of mind. We were so happy with the experience that we’ve already booked them again, and we highly recommend them!”
“Jamie & Joe are the BESTEST! It is such a comfort to know our dog, Peach is well taken care of when she is in their care. She is always excited to see them. That says alot. Thanks so much!”
“Tiffany quickly communicated and gave daily updates. Her home and yard were very clean and safe. She and her family gave us peace of mind that our dog was being loved and excellently cared for. It was a pleasure getting to know Tiffany, and we would recommend her to others.”
“Timea and her husband watched are 2 dogs for a 1 night stay/trial night to see if everybody was a good match. The stay went very well due to the loving and caring of this couple and their patients and understanding with are 2 dogs. They sent photos and texted us information that helped make us feel good about the whole stay as it went. I would highly recommend them for the boarding of any and all dogs. They have a great relaxing and knowledgable demeanor that made us feel very comfortable with leaving are dogs in there care.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter during such a difficult time. While we were laying my grandmother to rest, Misty gave us peace of mind and even a reason to smile. Her communication was excellent, lots of photos and videos that really helped ease my wife’s stress. When our flight got canceled, she graciously kept our dog an extra day without hesitation, which meant so much to us. Our dog clearly had an amazing time. She fell in love with her daughter and played tons of catch. We will absolutely be using her again. Only downside? When we got home, our dog was bored 😂 which tells you everything.”
“Riley was so happy with Dalia and Dainius and their daughter Milda! I’m sure she hardly missed me at all between their walks and play time. 😊 It was also wonderful how accommodating they were to watch her less than a week out! Highly recommend!”
