“My pug Charlie had another wonderful time with Abbie and Peachy. Charlie feels really safe with Abbie even though she is a little anxious and Peachy is a great friend that helps Charlie to stay active and socialized especially in this cold weather. Outstanding hosts!”
“Denis was the absolute perfect sitter for Mowgli! I was very nervous to be leaving him with strangers for the first time while on vacation for a whole week, as he’s typically a very anxious cat. But Denis was super communicative throughout the entire process and really put my mind at ease. He sent texts and photo updates every day and made sure to check in about how Momo was doing. If you are looking for someone who specifically understands and appreciates cat temperaments and needs, I highly recommend Denis! I think Mowgli had a better vacation than I did. I will certainly be booking with him again for any future cat sitting needs!”
“Margarita and Christian took excellent care of Charlie! We had great communication and they kept us updated on his stay. We highly recommend them and would hire them again to take care of Charlie!”
“I've booked Kristin a few times, and she has always been very kind and helpful, especially with the special accommodations that my cat needs. I feel she provided a good environment for boarding my cat. In particular, I appreciate her being very helpful and communicative after my cat had a medical episode and needed to be taken to the ER. Her care made a difficult moment easier to go through.”
“Had to go to a funeral overseas and Grace swooped in to take care of Ranger with short notice. She did an excellent job with him all i had to provide was food. Hes very shy and timid around strangers, but he warmed up the Grace in no time.”
“Vanessa made this a great experience. We were very pleased with the communication while we were away and how well she took care of our Peppy. We’d definitely recommend her to everyone.”
“Diane has been a lifesaver! Prompt updates and photos, amazing response time, wonderful service & Luna was very happy! Which is what everyone ultimately needs to know while they are separated from their pet. Diane has been amazing and we will definitely be using her again in the future if needed!”
“Amy was such an amazing caretaker for Apollo! We needed someone to watch him during a long trip, and since he had never stayed with her before, she generously offered not one, but two meet-and-greets. The first was to meet us and Apollo, and the second allowed him to get comfortable in her home before his stay. From the very beginning, Amy was incredibly sweet, kind, and welcoming. Her family was just as excited to have Apollo and made him feel right at home. She took the time to listen to all of our instructions and learn about Apollo’s preferences, and she truly embraced having him as part of her family while we were away. Throughout his stay, she kept me updated with pictures and messages about how he was eating, sleeping, adjusting, and whether he seemed anxious. Her communication was excellent, and she was always so accommodating and thoughtful. Apollo was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for, which gave me so much peace of mind while traveling. I trusted Amy completely and would absolutely have Apollo stay with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, reliable, and communicative sitter!”
“Jonalynn was awesome and came in clutch for a last minute booking with my Bully/Pit mix. She was awesome. My dog Bleu loved his stay and has been sad since leaving her.”
“AMAZING! Took care of my wonderful puppy, even taught him how to stop scratching people for food. Consistently sent photos and if I ever have to board again I know who's my number 1 pick!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Shirley for the weekend. He has separation anxiety and she was accommodating towards his needs to ensure he had a stress free stay with her. I appreciate how she was flexible with my drop off and pick up times. Would definitely hire her again!”
“Ruth-Ann took excellent care of Marley who was having some allergy-related issues. I needed to extend his stay on short notice due to unforeseen circumstances and she was more than accommodating. I was not so worried about him as she provided frequent pix and video updates. Highly recommend Ruth-Ann as a sitter!”
“Adriana was so sweet and nice to our senior doggy! She gave a lot of updates and the little photo shoots were so entertaining. Will definitely be using her again! ❤️”
“I’m so happy I found Emily! My dog tends to be pretty high energy and which makes me a little nervous. Emily was awesome— she communicated with me and sent me photos through out Harlem’s stay. He was very calm and well taken care of. I will certainly be booking again!!”
“Qin En took good care of my cat Echo while I was out of town. She sent me multiple pictures/videos a day so I can enjoy my vacation while making sure my cat is doing well. She genuinely loves cats and actually any animals! 😂 highly recommend 😊”
“Diana is a true blessing! My dog Loretta has very very bad anxiety and separation anxiety. But Loretta is my baby! I love her and treat her like one of my children. Diana was WONDERFUL with her. She was with her 5 days and kept me up to date with everything. Pictures and everything. She gave me the biggest peace of mind. She made my vacation so enjoyable knowing my girlie was in the BEST hands! I would recommend Diana to anyone who wants their dog to be well taken care of and loved. Thank you Diana for loving my Loretta and treating her the way we do.”
“Awesome dog sitter! Sent me pictures and gave me updates everyday. I’m not sure my dog even wanted to come home after staying with them. Will definitely use them again.”
“Michelle did a wonderful job taking care of our doggo while we were away with plenty of pictures and texts. Our dog loved her stay with Michelle. We would definitely book her again for further accommodations!”
“We had a great experience with in-home boarding for Otis this week. He was clearly well cared for and treated like part of the family. We loved getting regular updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. Otis came home happy, relaxed, and well loved. We’d absolutely book again and highly recommend Aritra! 10/10 experience!”

“Amanda was amazing with Flint! We had a pretty last minute situation and she came through for us with no hesitation. She was super attentive, communicative, and really took initiative during her drop-ins. She noticed things, checked in with us when needed, and went above and beyond without us having to ask. I felt comfortable knowing Flint was in good hands while we were away. Definitely someone I’ll be booking again in the future. Highly recommend Amanda!”
“Dorothy was wonderful—pleasant, punctual (even early!), and took great care of Mochi. Communication was smooth and easy throughout. Will definitely book again.”

He did an outstanding job ensuring they had food, water, and litter, and was very responsive. We loved receiving updates on the cats every day. Would book again if I have the opportunity.”
“Lawrence was an absolute dream sitter. The cats instantly loved him. He went above and beyond the call of a normal pet sitter. 100% would recommend. Great communication. A++”
“Sally is very professional, prompt, trustworthy and courteous. Thank you so much for taking care of my baby while I was away!! More than happy to work with Sally again for my future trips!”
“Christy was an excellent sitter for my cat Velvet while I was away for a week !!!! Christy was courteous, professional, and attentive to all of my cat's needs! The daily check-ins and pictures provided by Christy were much appreciated and helped soothe my nerves. I would definitely book Christy again in a heartbeat, and I will definitely refer her to others I know who need sitters for their fur babies! Thanks again Christy for a job well done and for going above and beyond!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Utopia
“Laura was the perfect sitter for our puppy, Rocky. We had a last minute trip to the area and she accommodated the last minute booking AND was gracious and understanding when we needed to change our drop off time. I would highly recommend Laura as a pet sitter!”
“Juliana and her family made Odin’s first daycare with them very pleasant! Prior to this we had a meet and greet, she asked appropriate questions for Odin’s safety (vaccine status, allergies, intolerances, routine etc.) She is swift with her responses and provides pic. Odin is looking forward to his overnight stay soon!”
“Robin was the BEST! She agreed to do a meet and greet with me and even brought her pups to meet my princess Honey. Even though I felt comfortable with her through our chats, meeting her in person beforehand put the cherry on top. Once booked, she took great care of of my Honey girl, sent so many photos and gave me cute updates while I was at work. This was my first booking and definitely will not be the last. She can absolutely be trusted with your fur babies. I’m so glad I took a chance as she made the experience worthwhile. Now my Honey has a home away from home!! Thank you Robin, see you again :)”
“We needed a super last minute dog watcher and found Emily. She was accommodating and flexible as we were driving in from out of state, when we arrived she showed us her space and it was really clean with a nice enclosed backyard. She sent photos throughout the day and notes about our dog. Emily was great and we highly recommend her!!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life! Love every furry friend I see! Beyond responsible and great with every breed! Can’t wait for your best friend to become my best friend! (If you need help with training I’d be more than happy to help with that too). I’m patient, responsible, supportive, give tons of attention and care. I’m great with all ages and breeds! Live by myself in a nice neighborhood with lots of great areas to walk and play, lots of grass parks and very safe. My apartment is a large 2 bedroom on the 2nd floor of a 2 family house. I have a car as well if you need me to pickup and drop off. I mainly work from home and it’s extremely part time. You can basically say that I’m retired. I’m usually always available, my home is the perfect place for your dog! I have a fenced yard with plenty of grass. I live in a very safe and quiet neighborhood in NYC. I don’t have any pets at the moment, unfortunately my Shmoopy passed away of old age recently :(
“Our Buddy Rumpus spent the whole day playing! We got pictures of a happy boy all day long. We're always nervous about leaving him with someone new but he was in great hands. She even brushed him before we brought him home.”
“Once again, Charlie, the pug had an outstanding time with Peachy and Abby! Even though there was a lot of ice and snow , Charlie and Peachy got to frolic around and get nice and tired together. Always appreciate all the videos. Charlie the pug will most certainly be back!!!”
About: Hello! We are RuthAnn and Brandon, a husband and wife duo of lifelong dog lovers. We know that your dog isn’t just a pet… they are FAMILY! That’s why when your pup stays with us they aren’t just “guest dogs” they become a part of our family too. Plus there’s two of us so this means TWICE the love and attention of a regular sitter :) A little bit about us: We are the proud “aunt and uncle” to our family dogs, West and Sadie. We’ve added them to our profile so you can get to know more about them there. While they don’t live with us they visit us often and they are very friendly, so if they happen to be over during your pups stay, that just means more friends to play with! I am currently a nursing student in my last semester and my husband works in sales! So one of the biggest perks of booking with us is that our schedules are flexible. At least one of us is always home. So your pup will have constant companionship, potty breaks and plenty of belly rubs thought the day. We also have a large fully fenced yard that’s perfect for zoomies or a game of fetch! We want you to have total peace of mind when you book with us, so we offer meet and greets prior to booking, as well as regular updates, photos and videos of all the fun your dog is having. We can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! Seamlessly because we are home based and flexible. Between the two of us, your dog will have constant supervision and a routine tailored to their needs! We live in a fully fenced home so your pup has full access to a safe fenced yard for supervised play of course. Because Brandon and I are home, your pup gets a perfect balance of activity and rest. We follow your specific feeding and medications to a T (we know how important this is) and we love to provide plenty of belly rubs and cuddles on the couch. We keep a tidy dog proofed home and we keep fresh water available at all times!! We are a team that’s big on communication so you’ll receive daily updates with photos and videos so you can see exactly what your baby is up to. If your dog enjoys company, we love to facilitate play, if they are on the shyer more timid side and prefer one on one time, we can accommodate for that as well.
“This was my first time using Rover & Arianna made it a great experience. My pup can be very anxious and may take a bit to get used to someone new but Arianna was super patient and kind with her. She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay and reassured me everything was going well. My pup quickly warmed up to her and had an enjoyable experience.”
About: Hello! I’m Sunita, and I’ve been a professional dog walker for 15 years. I work remotely, which means I have a super flexible schedule to care for your pets. Whether you need daytime walks or late-night check-ins for those who work the second shift, I’ve got you covered—even after midnight! I’m not just a dog person—I’m a cat person too. Really, I’m an all-around animal lover! I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands, and I’d treat your furry friend with the same love and care I’d give my own. I’d love the chance to meet you and the fuzziest member of your family! Since I work remotely, pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! My flexible schedule allows me to take breaks throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and playtime with your pets. I love getting outside and staying active, so spending time with animals is a natural and fulfilling part of my day. Whether it’s an early morning walk, a midday break, or a late night check-in, I’m available and excited to help. When caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In My Home: I create a warm and welcoming environment with plenty of cozy spaces to rest, safe areas to play, and lots of attention and affection. I follow any specific routines or guidelines you provide to keep your pet’s day as normal as possible.
“Ms. Anamika was phenomenal with our puppy who suffers with separation anxiety. He got to exercise in her backyard and had so much room to explore and be curious. She provided pictures and videos to put our minds at ease while his dad and I went to work. We definitely recommend and will be using her services again. Peace and blessings, Amanda, Tanner and Ragnar Ganesh.”
“Ana was incredibly sweet with our Boston Terrier puppy who experienced his first time away from us with her. She sent lots of pictures and gave frequent updates. Highly recommended!”
About: I have 4 years of experience volunteering at an animal shelter where I worked with both dogs and cats. With dogs, I have experience with all ages, ranging from 5 week old puppies to senior dogs. I have walked and played with dogs who were the most outgoing and loving dogs, as well as the more fearful ones who needed a little extra attention before opening up to me. I have received training in understanding dog behaviors as well as how to interact with more stressed and fearful dogs, leaving me confident to care for all types of dogs. I also volunteered to take some dogs out of the shelter for one night and care for them at my apartment so they can destress out of their kennels, which gave me experience house sitting multiple types of dogs. With cats, often times at the shelter I would play with them in their cages, or I would take them out the cage and hold onto/pet them to help relieve their stress and get them accustomed to humans. At home I also have 2 senior pets I care for, a 12 year old Brittany dog and an 11 year old cat. They’re both incredibly sweet and remind me every day why I love caring for animals. Let me help take care of your furry family members—I’d love to meet them! I work as a teacher full time during the school year, so I have time after 5pm to care for your pets. However, during the summer I don't work full time so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am free anytime during the week for house sitting, dog walking, or just dropping in to visit your pet. When caring for a pet in a client's home, I will make sure to confirm all household rules that apply to their pet before starting. This includes knowing what furniture the pet can sit on, the diet of the pet, as well as how often the pet should be played with/taken out on walks.
“I truly recommend Dan. This is my first time using Rover and naturally wanting the best for my dog, I wanted to make sure she’d be good, and Dan made sure of that. She always checked in with me, provided me updates of Daisy through pictures and videos, and always responds when she can.”
“I found Jennifer while searching for a dogsitter for Thanksgiving. She was terrific. We did a meet-and-greet beforehand to get acquainted. She is very nice and clearly comfortable with dogs. She was flexible with timing (drop off and pick up) and sent me messages and pictures for updates. Very grateful she was available for the holiday. I recommend Jennifer to anyone with a dog who is looking for a sitter.”
“She sent me lots of photos, so I felt reassured. She’s professional and clearly loves and cares about dogs. I will definitely rebook her when i need daycare of my dog!”

About: Hi, my name is Natalia and I'm here to offer my patience, attention, and care to pets in need. I have a deep love for animals and a strong desire to ensure their well-being. I have over 6 years of experience and I'm always learning more about them. I hope to hear from you soon! THANK YOU! I am available seven days a week; I have a two-year-old daughter, and I work with her from Monday to Friday. I devote the necessary time to ensure the owners are satisfied I live in an apartment with two balconies available for pets. They can be anywhere in the apartment without any problem. At the clients' homes, I follow the rules they provide in order to give their pets the best possible care.
“This was the second time Charlie helped me out and I couldn’t be happier . He came and met the pup he offered advice and asked many questions about Bruce’s personality and preferences. I asked to change time of the walk and he was very flexible! I am super happy with him and will continue on using him exclusively!”
“I am very happy with Carolina. I have two very different dogs. One is high energy and very dominant while the other one is very timid. She handled both for the very well. I would definitely recommend her.”
About: The first dog that I fell in love with was Charlie, my best friend’s beagle. I cared for him for weeks at a time, and that’s when I realized how much I enjoy looking after dogs. Since then, I’ve had the chance to care for several pets, both on and off the books, and each experience has made me love it even more. Although I’ve never owned a dog myself, I have a deep respect and appreciation for them. I understand the dedication, planning, and responsibility that goes into making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. As much as we wish we could bring our pets everywhere, sometimes the best choice is leaving them in a place where they feel at home. That’s the experience I aim to provide: reliable and thoughtful care that supports your pet’s comfort without requiring you to sacrifice your plans. I am currently unemployed and I live with my parents (who also love dogs), so there’s almost always someone home. I was working at Central Park for these last few months, but now that the season is over I can dedicate myself to working my dream job… along with finding a career that goes with my degree. I’ve cared for dogs both in my own home and in clients’ homes. Our quiet neighborhood has plenty of small parks and green spaces for quick walks or a good 30–35 minute wander. I also have a ground-floor apartment with a fenced backyard where dogs can roam, zoom, or take care of their business when a full walk isn’t ideal. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow whatever routine works best for their dog. I can stay overnight or visit in the mornings and evenings for walks, feeding, playtime, and light grooming. My priority is keeping each dog comfortable by sticking to the routine they know.

My love for dogs leaves me equipped with all the necessary skills to ensure that your dog’s needs are met and they feel loved and cared for. I am a responsible person who works hard and is organized at all times, making me a perfect option to care for your furry friend. I’m currently a college student with plenty of time to care for your pups! Tuesdays and Thursdays I’m available after 3:30 and Saturdays I’m available afternoons and evenings! I have experience working with dogs in various environments, understanding what is needed to keep pets safe. I am aware of surroundings at all times and feel as though I tend to have a good read on dog’s comfortability levels. I would be able to follow any specific instructions in compliance with the dog’s preferences.
About: I’ve owned dogs from the age of 4 and have experience with all types of animals through personal ownership and also as a veterinary assistant. I treat all animals with love, care, and attention as if they were my own. I pride myself on my punctuality and patience and prioritizing the safety and comfort of each animal that’s in my care. I am currently working towards completing my veterinary technology degree in hopes that animal care can become my full time profession. I currently work part-time for an airline as a gate agent so I am fortunate enough to have a flexible schedule that I manipulate easily. I am respectful and responsible towards anyone’s property. I am trustworthy and vigilant and will maintain clear communication, keeping you well informed during any drop in visits.
“Jessica walked Janie twice a day while we were out of town and Janie was staying with my mother. Jessica took pictures and sent detailed descriptions of how the walk went. My mom tells me Janie was always thrilled to see Jessica, and she always came back tired, happy, and healthy. I couldn’t ask for more.”
“Jason was has been an outstanding dog walker. He is punctual, dependable, and genuinely cared about the wellbeing of our dog. His professionalism and consistency really set him apart, and we are so grateful to have found him. What a trustworthy individual who was very open with communication. I would not think twice to reach out to him!”
About: I have been pet sitting for my friends and family for the last 7 years. They required me to check in on their pets, feed them, play with them, and walk their dogs. I am currently home from college and I work for a towboat company. I have a lot of free time to take care of your pets! I have two cats at home and we just let them roam around. They don’t need a lot of care but I feed them twice a day and clean their litter box and give them treats whenever. When taking care of my clients pets, I make sure I do exactly as they ask.
“Really kind and clearly a pet whisperer because our dog warmed up to her immediately and she is usually suspicious of other people lol. Great communication and great personality also!”
About: Each dog is treated exactly the same. Let me know of any allergies or specific cravings your dog has or needs! This is important. I observe each dog and their habits. I care for each dog as if they were my own. I am a loving and caring individual. I care for animals more than anything. They deserved to be treated fairly. Each dog is unique in their own way and I appreciate that the most! You are to bring food and treats if needed for your dogs, but mostly remember they are in great hands! No worries. I am to make your dogs life happier! Dogs are more than pets to me. They are family. If you are interested, Inquires feel free to contact me! Thanks guys

“Oswald is great!!! From the time I met him I knew he was going to be a good fit for King. He's very attentive and super caring. I would recommend him to anyone looking for assistance with their fur baby”
About: Ive had dogs in my house for as long as I can remember, and I can't imagine my life without the crazy, funny, cute, four legged creatures. I have two of my own at home, a shitzu and pitbull, now they're getting to their seniors years but they're still the absolute light of my lives, Had them both since they were 4-6 months old. I've taken care of dogs my whole life, and I wouldn't trade it for the world, From being puppies and cleaning them up after they go potty or giving a bath when they have too much fun in the mud! And now when they're entering their senior era and need to be given daily vitamins and helping them up the stairs. During school and work Id always wake up early to feed and walk my pups before I need to leave and make sure any accommodations that need to be done while I'm gone are set. Caring for pets involves following feeding schedules, ensuring fresh water, and providing exercise. Whether at home or in a client’s house, cleanliness, safety, and communication are key. I will give regular updates to owners and personalize care based on each pet’s specific needs.

“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Shirley for the weekend. He has separation anxiety and she was accommodating towards his needs to ensure he had a stress free stay with her. I appreciate how she was flexible with my drop off and pick up times. Would definitely hire her again!”
“Ruth-Ann took excellent care of Marley who was having some allergy-related issues. I needed to extend his stay on short notice due to unforeseen circumstances and she was more than accommodating. I was not so worried about him as she provided frequent pix and video updates. Highly recommend Ruth-Ann as a sitter!”
“Diana is a true blessing! My dog Loretta has very very bad anxiety and separation anxiety. But Loretta is my baby! I love her and treat her like one of my children. Diana was WONDERFUL with her. She was with her 5 days and kept me up to date with everything. Pictures and everything. She gave me the biggest peace of mind. She made my vacation so enjoyable knowing my girlie was in the BEST hands! I would recommend Diana to anyone who wants their dog to be well taken care of and loved. Thank you Diana for loving my Loretta and treating her the way we do.”
“We had a great experience with in-home boarding for Otis this week. He was clearly well cared for and treated like part of the family. We loved getting regular updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. Otis came home happy, relaxed, and well loved. We’d absolutely book again and highly recommend Aritra! 10/10 experience!”
“Ilona was wonderful with Princess. Princess had a seizure which she hasn’t had in months and Ilona was so warm, caring and comforting to Princess. It really put my family and I at ease since we were not there. Ilona provided frequent updates and made Princess’s stay a very comfortable one. We highly recommend Ilona! Thank you so much for taking great care of Princess, Ilona!!!”
“This was my first time ever using Rover and I couldn’t be happier. Vanessa was great and took really good care of my dog Jax. I could tell he was very happy when he was there especially when he was playing with Oreo and Moreno!! Vanessa is a great and trustworthy person and definitely will be going thru her again 😊”
“Sam was amazing! We had never left Penelope with any sitter and Sam made us feel very comfortable and confident. She sent us pictures as well which made us feel at ease. We definitely plan to have Penelope stay with Sam again in the future. Thank you, Sam!”
“We boarded our dog with Dominique, and she was fantastic. She took great care of our dog while we were out of town, and sent us daily photos, videos and updates. She was easy to talk to, professional, and communicative. We absolutely recommend her and will definitely ask Dominique to watch our dog next time we are out of town.”
“Wendy was amazing! She constantly sent updates about Oreo and was very responsive to my inquiries. I would not hesitate to recommend her and to use her services again.”
“We ABSOLUTELY ADORE Lynn!! This is our 2nd time booking with Lynn and would definitely book again. My little old man was given so much love and care by Lynn and her family. She kept us updated throughout his stay and sent us pictures! Lynn was so attentive and gave him the best “vacation”. We could not thank you enough! Sending all the Pugs and Kisses!”
“Kierstan & Casey were incredible pet sitters and took care of our pup for 3 nights. They sent tons of photos, provided videos of zoomies, and made us feel at ease knowing that our pup was in good hands. Would 100% recommend them to anyone looking to find an overnight sitter!”
“Renald is so polite, caring, and attentive. Renald really enjoys boarding dogs it’s in his genes. My dog looked in great shape when I picked him up, and he even said good-bye to Renald with a wagging tail..it was so sweet! I will definitely be booking Renald services for boarding in the future.”

About: What sets me apart is the combination of hands-on experience, professional pet care skills, and a home environment designed around each dog’s individual needs. I have about 5 years of experience caring for dogs, including dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I pay close attention to body language, comfort level, and interactions so I can recognize when a dog is relaxed, overwhelmed, or needs more personal space. Pet care is my full-time focus, and I’m both pet CPR certified and a certified groomer. This allows me to provide attentive daily care while also helping with brushing, bathing, coat care, and general cleanliness when requested. My home has a private backyard of approximately 900 square feet for supervised outdoor play and potty breaks, along with additional rooms that allow me to separate dogs based on size, temperament, energy level, or individual comfort needs. I understand that every dog has a different routine, so I do my best to accommodate feeding schedules, sleeping preferences, sensitivities, and other special instructions from parents. I also send frequent photo and video updates throughout each stay. My goal is not only to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, but also to give parents real peace of mind while they are away. Caring for dogs is a major part of my daily life and my full-time focus. Because I have a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, outdoor play, feeding, rest time, and plenty of individual attention throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and adjusting their routine so they can feel safe, comfortable, and at home during their stay. I’m pet CPR certified and also a certified groomer, so I’m comfortable providing basic coat care, brushing, bathing, and grooming services when requested. For longer boarding stays, I’m happy to include a complimentary basic bath when appropriate. For shorter stays, bathing or grooming services can be added for an additional fee. My priority is always to provide attentive, reliable, and personalized care for every dog staying with me. I live in a clean and well-kept home with a private backyard of approximately 900 square feet, giving dogs plenty of space for supervised outdoor play, potty breaks, and fresh air throughout the day. I also have additional rooms available, which allows me to separate dogs by size, energy level, or comfort needs when necessary. This helps each dog have a safe and quiet place to rest, settle in, and decompress without feeling overwhelmed. I have a 3-year-old Border Collie who is very sweet, gentle, and full of positive energy. He has done very well with other dogs and enjoys spending time and playing with them. I carefully supervise all interactions and introduce dogs gradually, while paying close attention to their body language, personality, and comfort level. I never force dogs to interact if they need more time or personal space. Throughout the day, I provide regular potty breaks, supervised backyard time, playtime, and plenty of opportunities to relax comfortably indoors. I also try to follow each dog’s normal feeding, sleeping, and daily routine as closely as possible. Sleeping arrangements can be flexible based on the owner’s preference and the dog’s needs. For dogs who are more sensitive or feel more secure near people, I can arrange for them to sleep in the same room with me. After outdoor time, I clean the dogs’ paws to help keep them comfortable and maintain a clean living environment. I also pay attention to brushing and overall cleanliness throughout their stay. My goal is to provide a safe, structured, and welcoming home where every dog receives individualized care and owners can feel confident while they are away.
“Peggy and Anthony were amazing! They were exceptionally accommodating and thoughtfully meticulous with caring for our pup. They gave the most incredible updates - in frequency and quality - that made us feel our pup was happy, healthy, and loved! Being away from our pup is extremely difficult, but they made the entire process feel safe and smooth.”
“Steven took my dog at the last minute before a 5 day trip and did a great job taking care of him. Drop off and pick up were easy and he sent pictures frequently so I knew my dog was ok. I would use him again!”
“We had a unique situation that lead us to Eric and he was incredibly accommodating. I forgot my dog's bed and he was able to provide one. He took great care of our shepherd and sent us several photos to show us our dog was doing just fine. Eric is a super nice guy to boot! Would highly recommend!”
“Nari, Ryan and Jiyu took great care of Bella for over two weeks. They took Bella everywhere they went. Many pictures and videos were sent to us. And we could tell Bella loved them from the updates we received daily. We were quite surprised how well Bella adapted that we started to get a bit jealous! They treated Bella like a family member. And we would definitely trust them again to take care of Bella in the near future!”
“Anastasia did a wonderful job of taking care of my dog, mocha. Every picture she sent had mocha looking very comfy, and very happy! She was great at keeping me updated and was amazing when my travel plans changed last minute and I had to pick mocha up later than scheduled. She was very accommodating and helpful in that regard. I know mocha had a great time staying with Anastasia and we will definitely use her again in the future!!!”
