“Elvia is the best! Our dachshund loves her and so do we. Super reliable and takes such good care of our pup. We’ve used Elvia for both daytime and overnights and would highly recommend!”
“This is our dogs 5th stay with Judy! And I cannot recommend her enough! She loves our lil guy as if he were her own and she is always quick to respond and provides many updates/pictures. He always comes back smelling great too :D”
“Ellie had a great stay at Richard's. It was our first time leaving her for a long vacation but Richard sent pictures and updates regularly. He was great! She had fun and we are happy to have found a place Ellie is happy to stay.”
“Kevin did an amazing job watching my dog, Jamie, for the first time! He sent me daily photos of Jamie enjoying walks and relaxing in the sun on the balcony, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Jamie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I know he’s in great hands with Kevin, and I’ll definitely be rebooking!”
“Yenis exceeded expectations!! I was so nervous to leave my Charlie with someone he was unfamiliar with but he had the best time with Yenis and looked so happy and comfortable in every photo I received. We will 100% be using her for future stays 😊 Thank you, Yenis!”
“Absolutely 5 stars! From the minute we met Karine and Ryan, we knew they were the right people to care for our dog while we were away. Karine completed a detailed questionnaire at the Meet and Greet which ensured that she knew all of Stanley's needs, routines, etc. When we dropped Stanley off for his stay, Karine and Ryan were friendly, confident and reassuring. Karine sent us great pictures and updates throughout our trip and really made us feel that Stanley was the top priority. When we picked Stanley up, it was obvious that he had really enjoyed his stay - while excited to see us, he was not anxious in any way. Karine and Ryan could not have been kinder to us or our dog and we look forward to having Stanley stay again with them many times!”
“Ashley was awesome with Spence! She watched him overnight and took such great care of him. The photo updates she sent were the best and totally put our minds at ease while we were away. It was so nice to see him looking relaxed and completely at home with her. Everything went so smoothly from drop-off to pick-up. We’ll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’m the type of sitter who pays attention to the little things — routines, favorite toys, energy levels, and comfort needs. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, and I adapt to what each pet needs. I believe pets do best when they feel safe, loved, and understood, and that’s the environment I strive to provide. Plus, you can expect plenty of updates and photos! Pets fit easily into my routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I plan my schedule to make sure pets get the attention, exercise, care, and consistency they need — whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just company and cuddles. I aim to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel happy and comfortable. I care for pets by creating a safe, calm, and loving environment while following their normal routine as closely as possible. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, supervised playtime, walks, feeding on schedule, and a comfortable space to relax and feel at home. In a client’s home, I respect their pet’s routine, environment, and instructions to help keep things familiar and stress-free. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, energy level, dietary needs, and comfort, and I make sure owners receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Clinton and his son Lincoln were fantastic. Lots of pictures and videos along with walks and play sessions. Our pup might have had more fun on vacation than we did. Highly recommend!”

She and her human and four legged family members welcomed our pup with open arms and helped put our mind at ease that our pup was in great hands. Would definitely recommend and we'd definitely book with her again!!”

About: My love of dogs led me to start a dog walking business when I was only 10 yrs old. Once I finally convinced my parents to get a dog, I was 15 and we ended up with two bichon-malteses who were the loves of my life. As an adult, my career has me traveling frequently so I haven’t become a pet owner, but I continue to dogsit for friends and neighbors because I love the companionship when I’m home. I am committed to providing your dog a comfortable home away from home where they will be well cared for and loved. I work from home Mondays and Fridays so can be available for care for a long weekend (Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon). My availability may be limited based on work travel. I live in a dog friendly building, where there is greenery and walking paths around the building for daily walks and enjoy going for longer walks in nearby parks.
About: I have always had a very deep love for animals 🐈🐩and caring for them truly makes me happy, I am a very patient calm and loving person and I treat every pet like family. I have a lot of experience with dogs and cats, including senior pets, blind pets, and pets that need medications or extra care. I also work in healthcare so I have knowledge in first aid and monitoring health conditions which helps me provide safe attentive and responsible care for every pet while making them feel comfortable loved and at home. I currently work part-time in healthcare, which allows me the flexibility to dedicate quality time to caring for pets. Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and I genuinely love making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to create a calm, caring environment where your pet feels at home, with plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and supervision. I’m available on weekends, evenings, overnight stays, and most weekdays after work, and I would be honored to care for your furry family member as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and loving home where every pet can feel safe and relaxed. I have two separate private rooms available if your dog or cat prefers a quiet space to rest, needs time to adjust, or if you request separate accommodations. I also have a very friendly cat who is gentle and comfortable around both dogs and cats. I have reliable transportation, so I can take dogs to nearby parks for walks, fresh air, playtime, and exercise. I have experience caring for senior pets, anxious pets, blind pets, and pets that require medication or extra attention. Working in healthcare has taught me to be attentive, patient, compassionate, and detail oriented, allowing me to closely monitor each pet’s behavior and well being. I will care for your furry family member as if they were my own, making sure they feel loved, comfortable, active, and stress-free throughout their stay.

I am a quick learner when it comes to the specific conditions the owner has for their dog .

About: I've had dogs all my life and since I'm self employed, I have time on my side and find caring for dogs to be very relaxing & rewarding for us both. I enjoy hiking with them or going to a dog park, with the owners permission of course, to let them run around. I also enjoy going to parks and when I see a senior citizen, let the dog say hello. Nothing better than seeing a smile on someones face after playing with a friendly dog. I love to take walks outside and I have a ton of patience when it comes to letting dogs do their business. I always put myself in a dogs mind thinking what I would want to do when outside in the beautiful air. Since I’m self-employed I have very flexible hours to work around a pet owners needs. My commitment to your pet will always come first while on schedule. I will always make sure your pet is properly leashed to protect them and other animals. My apartment complex has over 60% people with dogs so it’s a really pet friendly building and the surrounding area has fenced in areas to keep your dog safe.
“LisaLeigh really helped us out when we were in a bind. She was communicative and took great care of our two pups for the night. I will absolutely be calling her again!”
About: I have had cats in my family for 55 years and I think like a cat and know felines very well! Feeding playing cuddling cleaning medications and sick care are no problem. I have had cats if all ages from birth to age 19 years, with all of their needs and issues, and love and care provided for them. Since I am also a big cat wildlife photographer, the ability to read and understand cat behavior is essential for great photography. And little felines and big felines are exactly the same in every instinct and need and behavior!

It was so nice to see him looking relaxed and completely at home with her. Everything went so smoothly from drop-off to pick-up. We’ll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’m the type of sitter who pays attention to the little things — routines, favorite toys, energy levels, and comfort needs. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, and I adapt to what each pet needs. I believe pets do best when they feel safe, loved, and understood, and that’s the environment I strive to provide. Plus, you can expect plenty of updates and photos! Pets fit easily into my routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I plan my schedule to make sure pets get the attention, exercise, care, and consistency they need — whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just company and cuddles. I aim to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel happy and comfortable. I care for pets by creating a safe, calm, and loving environment while following their normal routine as closely as possible. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, supervised playtime, walks, feeding on schedule, and a comfortable space to relax and feel at home. In a client’s home, I respect their pet’s routine, environment, and instructions to help keep things familiar and stress-free. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, energy level, dietary needs, and comfort, and I make sure owners receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Clinton and his son Lincoln were fantastic. Lots of pictures and videos along with walks and play sessions. Our pup might have had more fun on vacation than we did. Highly recommend!”
“Nandita is a great sitter & we were lucky to connect with her. She has a great fenced in yard & and adorable dog that I was pleased my dog could play with. She was great with communication & we had a great experience.”
“Stefanie was amazing - kind, patient and understanding with our anxious pup's first boarding experience ever, and a great communicator. She and her human and four legged family members welcomed our pup with open arms and helped put our mind at ease that our pup was in great hands. Would definitely recommend and we'd definitely book with her again!!”

“Jorge and his two dogs were fantastic with my Bernedoodle! Excellent communication and regular photo/video updates of all the fun. My dog got lots of exercise and play time, and Jorge even went above and beyond by giving him a bath. Highly recommend and will definitely stay again!!”
“Excellent. Will hire Ariel again. Pleasant and capable, she followed all care instructions to a tee for my 17 yr old dog. Responsive to all communications and kept me up to date on his well being, which I'm skitzo about because of his age.”
About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life and I couldn’t imagine it any other way. Spending time with animals is my happy place and nothing brings me more joy than caring for and playing with them. I have a great deal of experience taking care of many dogs of various breeds and sizes. I currently have the flexibility to fully dedicate myself to what I would call my dream job which is working with animals. I can go on long or short walks and have an enclosed dog park around my area. I have taken care of dogs with medical problems and have experience giving dogs medicine such as eye drops and pills. I am a quick learner when it comes to the specific conditions the owner has for their dog .
“Katherine was so helpful taking our dog Ellie last minute on Thanksgiving. She was even kind enough to have her for one more day last minute, while we had guests in town! She sent pictures and was very responsive! Would absolutely use Katherine again in the future!”
