“This was Phoebe’s second stay with Kevin. He took great care of her, and I can tell she’s always happy to see him. Kevin was careful to keep to Phoebe’s schedule, which I appreciate!”
“First time boarding with Randi and it was an incredibly smooth experience. Randi is extremely flexible and was a life saver for when we were away on a multi city driving trip. We were watching the weather in case we needed to abandon our plans and come back home mid trip. Randi was extremely flexible and accommodating and I am so grateful for that. Our dog is a picky eater and is also on some tricky meds…and Randi kept in touch with regular updates. She persevered with attempts to get her to eat both food and meds, until our dog did finally start to eat! Our dog came home happy and healthy! We will definitely board with Randi again!”
“Brittany (and Mom!) is absolutely amazing! I was extremely nervous about leaving my pup with someone new. Marley is a rescue and usually quite skittish around new people / dogs so She tries to find a way to run off when she’s scared. Brittany’s home is very secure and I felt so at ease. Marley was treated as one of their own, got tons of TLC and made new friends while I was away. Thank you so much 😊”
“Our dog Jeremy had a wonderful time with Doreen. She is very calm and caring and was very kind to me as it was our first time leaving Jeremy with her. Doreen reassured me that everything would be fine and it truly was! I would definitely recommend Doreen and will book with her again.”
“Sara was the perfect choice for Dory while we were visiting town. She was focused on ensuring she understood Dory’s needs before and during her stay. Dory came home happy and tired… and Sara provided us with great reports during her stay and at pickup. We highly recommend!”
“As always, Karine is amazing! I trust her implicitly with my anxious pup. She is so in tune with the dogs' needs and caters to them as if they are her own. Thank you again!”
“We’re very happy with Liza. She was very conscientious and loving with our dog. From the very start, we felt completely comforted knowing that he was in such good hands. She provided daily updates with pictures and videos throughout our 10-day trip. We will definitely book her again!”
“We are very happy to ask Maureen for our Chamonix. Maureen was waiting for us in front of her house to do a first meeting before sitting. She’s very reliable and responsible. She kindly updated how Chamonix’s doing through her stay. We will definitely return to her if we needs someone next time.”
“Robert took such wonderful care of our sweet Luna! We received frequent updates and photos, and she looked very happy the whole time she was with him. She was also nice and tired when she got home, which shows she received sufficient exercise and play time with other pups! We will absolutely be using Robert to care for Luna in the near future!”
“This was Allie’s second stay with Luz and Michelle - and they are THE BEST!! I never once worried. They treat Allie like she’s part of their family, communicate regularly with photos and videos, and send her home clean, happy and so well cared for!! I am SO grateful to have found Luz and Michelle! They are extraordinary!”

“Juan took great care of my puppy! I was very nervous to leave her for the first time for the weekend, but she did great. Juan provided updates and my puppy seemed to be happy and tired when I picked her up! I think she loved being with Juan’s dog, and the large back yard to play. I highly recommend Juan.”

About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was six years old, growing up with pets back home in Guatemala. Over the years, I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs—big, small, playful, and shy—and I’ve gained experience with everything from daily walks to giving medication. I currently don’t have pets of my own, which means I can give your dog my full attention. You can expect lots of walks, playtime, love, and regular photo and video updates. I live in a calm, pet-friendly environment and I’m home all the time, so overnight care is never a problem. I’m here to make your dog feel safe, happy, and right at home! I work part-time in the mornings and am free the rest of the day, and I’m available to board your dog anytime that works for you. Since I work nearby, I can easily accommodate your schedule for drop-offs and pick-ups. I spend most of my time at home, giving plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I especially enjoy taking dogs on walks—it’s a great way for them to get exercise and have fun. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I love being active with animals and making sure they feel happy and loved all day long. I live in a calm, pet-friendly environment where your dog can feel safe, relaxed, and loved. My home is free of harmful plants and other hazards, I always keep the space clean and comfortable. I have a big yard where I can walk and play with your dog throughout the day, giving them plenty of exercise and attention. I take time to get to know each dog’s personality and needs so they feel right at home. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I’m happy to follow any routines that help them feel secure. I know trust matters, so I always keep pet parents updated with photos, videos, and clear communication.

I loved her desire to really get to know my dog and make accommodation for Lola's little quirks and upside-down scheduling. Thanks Laura (and Chris too) for giving us a new safe haven for Lola!!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 17 years. Besides raising my own dogs, I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs for stays ranging from one week to two months. My Goldendoodle loves making new dog friends, and many of our guests have become his best buddies. I work from home most of the week, so I have plenty of time to care for dogs throughout the day. They get regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention, and are rarely left alone. I have fenced yard where my dog loves to play fetch. I usually let my dog out around 8am to play until 9am. All the dogs are welcome to join to play together!
“Our dog Matcha seemed to love her stay with Tatiana! She had plenty of other dogs to spend time with and not worry about how she wasn't at home. If you have a furry friend that doesn't like being home alone for extended hours, I'd recommend Tatiana.”
“Karine was amazing! We were visiting from out of town and she allowed us to feel extremely comfortable leaving our anxious dog for the day. She is very knowledgeable, warm, and understanding of the needs of pets. She even had homemade lamb treats for the dogs she was watching! Her home and backyard are both super dog friendly. Karine was active over text and sent a bunch of pictures during our pup's stay. I will absolutely be reaching back out to her again!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 6 years old (but would have started earlier if I was allowed!). I am extremely experienced in walking dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments as I grew up volunteering to walk and babysit dogs in my neighborhood and for family and friends. I cared extensively for my family dog who faced many health struggles up until he passed away in 2021 at the age of 15. Just over a year ago, I got and trained a new puppy from the age of seven weeks who lives full time with my parents while I am at school. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time for pet care! My schedule varies week to week, but I am extremely flexible and available! I am extremely attentive and accommodating to all needs. Due to my passion for animals and experience caring for dogs specifically, I am more than capable of prioritizing safety and individual needs depending on the environment and service provided.
About: I've had dogs since I was 6 and have always been expected to care for them. Now that I'm away from home I miss my dogs and would love to help others take care of their fury friends! I'm currently young professional with hybrid schedule in office. I would not be able to be home all day for 3 days of the week (typically Tuesday - Thursday) but can care for them before and afterwards. On the other days, I can be home all day and care for them. I can take out your dog, feed them, or walk them around your neighborhood! I'm experienced in taking out dogs in fenced areas or on a leash and would love to cuddle with them as well!

I treat every pet like they're my own and always focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. With school out for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I'm available throughout the week and can easily accommodate your dog's routine and walking needs. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, extra exercise, or regular visits, I'm happy to work with your schedule. I believe great pet care goes beyond just the walk itself. I take the time to make sure each pet is safe, comfortable, hydrated, and ready for our outing. I pay attention to their individual needs, whether that's extra playtime, a slower pace, or lots of exercise. I also help keep their space clean and comfortable so both pets and owners can feel at ease knowing they're in good hands.
