“When Ashley began to look in the bag I brought for Stella, she immediately noticed there was cheese in Stella's food bag and she offered to refrigerate it. I was impressed that she noticed that detail! As soon as I put Stella down, one of her dogs wanted to play, as did Ashley's adorable son! And Stella was ready! She came home exhausted! Slept all day. I can only imagine this means she has a great time playing at Ashley's house, and I am sure that was the case. I interviewed several dog sitters and Ashley and her husband was a household that impressed me. I will definitely use them again! Thanks, Ashley!”
“Fantastic experience. Great communication! Our Piper (12lb dog) came home tired from fun (not stress)! I’ve have many dog sitting experiences and this was the best. I know my dog and she doesn’t hide when she’s been stressed- she definitely had fun on this sleep away for her :-) . I highly recommend.”

I was very happy with the care provided for my dogs while I was away on a 5 day trip and would definitely use their services again.”

Jessica stayed 3 days and 3 nights at our place and did cat sitting and house sitting and made our vacation stress free knowing our babies were well taken care of! She was so respectful of our home and left everything as is and clean. She sent us daily photos and text updates as we requested. Our cats absolutely loved her and were so happy with her. We will definitely be rebooking and recommend Jessica to everyone!!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Woodridge
“Our dog loved her time with Ashley. She felt 100% at home which was very important to me. I tried a pet store doggy day care previously and it was overwhelming to my dog, she was not happy when I picked her up. When I picked her up from Ashley she was so happy and I could tell she had a great day. Ashley sent pictures. was very responsive, and she was very accommodating. I will definitely be booking with her again!!!”
“Super happy with our experience with Esha and Vineeth. Esha always replied promptly which was so reassuring. I also loved getting regular picture updates throughout the day. Our doggo was taken outside for breaks which was awesome, and she was super flexible with pick up and drop off times. Miko was so well cared for - we will definitely be booking again! 😊”
“Ingrid is my go-to dog sitter. My puppy has been going to Ingrid’s home since she was 3 months old and Fiona couldn’t be happier every time she sees Ingrid and her family members. Ingrid is so responsive, kind, and accommodating. Not once has one of my last minute denied nor am I ever worried about Fiona when she is with Ingrid. I couldn’t recommend her enough.”
“I can’t thank enough Neelank and his wife to take so much good care of Snoopy on Thanksgiving. Snoopy was spoiled all day, had a blast outside and indoor with their 2 dogs Porter & Oliver. Neelank and his wife were very flexible for the drop-off/pick-up time at their place. They have sent me a lot of pictures from Snoopy playing and having such a good time. I definitely recommend them as a 5 stars daycare. Thank you so much for caring for Snoopy like he was your own dog !”
“Second time benefiting from Christina’s care of our doodle and the third experience is already booked! So much peace of mind knowing our pup is in good hands. Thanks Christina and fam!”

“Wayne pet sat for us on very short notice. Luna seemed happy and well taken care of during her 7 hr stay. He sent pics through out her visit to ensure peace of mind. I would definitely rebook with Wayne!”
“Jamie & Ritz are wonderful guardians to Maeve. They consistently throughout the day kept me posted on how she’s doing, and Toffee made her feel very welcome in their home. I highly recommend, and I plan to rebook with them again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 30 years and treat them as family. I take in puppies and senior dogs and have had dogs of my own for many years. I lost my dog but love taking care of others. I am at home and devote all my time and energy to dogs. I do not work and am here 24/7 for them. I will care for them like my own. I live on a golf course with a walking path for dogs. I also will take them out anytime of the day or night. They are very special to me.

About: I’m looking to help keep my 4 yr old, friendly pup company on occasion. I’m good with dogs and have trained my own. I’m not working outside the house, but do care for my elderly mother who lives close. This has me I’m out during the day, at times, but I have a fairly flexible schedule. I’m available most days and weekends. I have a fenced in yard and a 4-yr old pup to keep your dog company. I can take them in walks, weather permitting.
“Danielle was absolutely phenomenal.! She truly went above and beyond of what I expected of care for King. She was very comfortable and knowledgeable of his breed and handled him with great care & even thought me a few training points. So thankful for her and accepting my booking at such short notice as well. 10/10 ⭐️”
About: Hi there! We’re a family of four who have loved and cared for dogs for more than 20 years. Our two boys are now off at college, and our home has gotten a little quieter—especially after we lost our dog last fall. While we’re planning to adopt again in the future, we’d love to fill that space by caring for other dogs in the meantime. We have extensive experience with large, active, high-energy dogs, so daily exercise, structure, and playtime are second nature to us. Long walks, outdoor time, and keeping dogs mentally and physically engaged are all part of our routine. Our home has a secure fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, and we’re active walkers 5–6 days a week, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and fresh air. There is also a work-from-home adult in the house most days of the week, which means your dog will have lots of supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. We can’t wait to meet your pup! 🐾 We have a work-from-home adult in the house most days of the week, so dogs are rarely left alone and get plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. We’re also active walkers 5–6 days a week, so regular walks and outdoor time are already part of our routine. Because our kids are now away at college, our schedule is flexible and our home is fairly quiet, which allows us to give visiting dogs plenty of time, care, and companionship. Between walks, time in our fenced-in yard, and relaxing inside, dogs staying with us will get a great balance of activity and comfort. Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. In our home, dogs are treated like part of the family. We provide a calm, clean, and structured environment where they can relax while still getting plenty of exercise and attention. We have a secure fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and bathroom breaks, and dogs are always supervised while outside. Because there is a work-from-home adult in the house most days of the week, your dog will receive consistent supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. We are experienced with large, active dogs and understand the importance of regular exercise, routine, and positive interaction. Dogs staying with us will enjoy daily walks, playtime, and plenty of affection, while also having comfortable indoor space to rest. We follow each pet owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and any specific routines that help your dog feel at home. Our goal is to make your dog feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾
“This was my first time sending my puppy-Leo to a daycare. Darrilyn was amazing! She took really good care of my dog. She sent photos and kept me updated. Leo had a great time and he looked happy. I will definitely recommend her services and will rebook. ❤️”
“Elizabeth was very nice, she updated me and sent me a pic of my puppy while she took care of him. It sounded like my pup Oso had a great time with her son Leo. I would book her again.”

“Juliana is wonderful! My dog is not the easiest all of the time, and Juliana was willing to come over several times in one week just to give my dog some time to get to know her. And, the fact that my dog warmed up so quickly is a testament to how well Juliana is able to connect with animals! Thank you, Juliana!”

“I cannot speak highly enough of Morgan. Most recently, I used her for daily walks for a foster dog that I had. Despite the challenge of walking a dog neither of us knew well, she was always so kind and patient. Her excellent communication skills were also greatly appreciated as I wanted to ensure I was getting any important information on this foster dog. I definitely plan to continue using her!”
About: I love taking dogs for walks and runs, followed by hours of spoiling. I never had a pet growing up so I lived vicariously through being able to take care of other family and friends’ pets. I now consider it a privilege to be able to play with, snuggle, and care for your pet. I am a full-time working professional who typically works in the office 2-3 days a week with flexibility. I am also available evenings and weekends. I enjoy playing and cuddling with dogs for hours on end. I am diligent, reliable, and trustworthy and will provide the best possible care and support for your pet. It’s simply an added bonus if your dog enjoys long walks and/or runs.

About: My pet care experience is diversified by a blend of professionalism and genuine love for animals. I have honed my skills through years of hands on interaction, ensuring the safety, comfort and happiness of every fur baby entrusted in my care. I have three fur babies of my own. I have two girl dogs who go by the name Nala and Meela, respectively, and a boy dog named Leo. I've currently been working at an animal hospital for about 3 years, where I continue to gain knowledge on the wellbeing and health of both dogs and cats. I've also worked at a pet store for about a year and a half where I was able to build connections with the both customers and their pets. Another experience I can share is my time volunteering at Touched By an Animal Cat Shelter. I was in charge of caring for the cats, socializing with, and cleaning up after them. My dedication shines through in every wagging tail and appeasing purr, making me a trusted and sought-after caregiver for your loving fur babies.

The hours can vary, but I am able to make my weekend schedule flexible to fit in your fur baby. I care for any pet as if they are my own pet. This requires a ton of responsibility, empathy, and attentiveness. It is highly important to learn about the pet's specific needs, preferences, and routines.
