They communicated fantastically throughout the entire process, and accommodated all of my requests. I could not have asked for a better host! 10/10 would recommend.”
“I was very nervous because I never left Niko with anyone before. I got a new job that requires me to travel more than usual. When I requested service, not only did she respond via app but she called me directly. Made me feel very comfortable. I decided to use Shaela and she kept me updated with pics and videos the entire week. I will most definitely use her again if available next time. Niko came home happy and healthy and thats all that matters 🙂”

“We’re so grateful for the care our sitter gave our two pups during their stay. What began as a few days of boarding turned into a longer stay because of an unexpected medical emergency, and she was incredibly kind, flexible, and accommodating the entire time. Knowing our dogs were safe, cared for, and in good hands brought us real peace of mind during a very stressful situation. We truly appreciate her compassion and would absolutely trust her again.”
“Our dog stayed with Donna for nine days and she was fantastic! He warmed to her quickly and she was very loving with him. She also sent daily updates with photos, which we really appreciated as we were abroad and missed our dog very much. We would definitely use Donna again!”
“Matthew took great care of our dog! He regularly sent pictures and our pup came home exhausted from all the yard/park play. Will definitely book again with him next time we go away.”
“Bridges watched my dog for a week and did a wonderful job. She met me and my dog beforehand which helped make me feel more at ease, and she provided frequent updates on how he was doing during the stay. She took him on a lot of walks, and he had a wonderful time with her. I would happily have my dog stay with Bridgid again!”

“Harley was so happy to go back to Jennifer and her wonderful family for a long weekend. He gets showered with love by Jennifer, her sweet daughter Ramsey, and Grandmom Anne! I’m so happy he gets a happy easy-going doggy friend in Khali, and experience with Pursey the cat. It’s so nice knowing that he is so beautifully cared for. Jennifer was extra kind this time, giving him medicine and more walks since he couldn’t run around her spacious front yard due to a healing injury. We love getting updates and adorable pictures throughout his time there. I’m not sure Harley really wanted to leave!”
“He is my favorite. After just one dog-boarding weekend, I can already say he is THE BEST. My little guy, JoJo, had himself a super fun doggy vacay!! Supon was so incredibly good with JoJo, and shared some of the best photos of my kiddo!! I've never felt so confident and comfortable with someone taking care of him. Supon is perfection.”

“Amber has been great each time she has cared for Nugget. She’s patient with Nugget’s mini attitude and has even been able to pet her which is rare for someone to do when I’m away. I appreciate the bond she’s established and how she keeps in contact with me. Amber will even do extra tasks like clean the litter area even though I forgot to ask that when we first established the details of care. Amber is and will continue to be my first call when I need someone to care for my fur baby.”

She also went above and beyond recognizing when our kitty needed a little extra love. We would absolutely book with her again.”

I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, and I always do my best to make pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but the rest of the week I am usually at home working or studying remotely. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I am also especially available on weekends, which is a great option for pet parents who need to board their dog at my apartment. I live in a pet-friendly one-bedroom apartment where pets can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I make sure to follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I also give pets plenty of attention, love, and a calm environment so they feel at home. My apartment is in a great area with plenty of parks and trails nearby, making it easy to take dogs on walks, get fresh air, and enjoy outdoor time. I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while they are staying with me.
“Sarah was great with my senior pup and her love for animals is clear. I appreciated that she was available for a meet and greet and booking on short notice. Would gladly have her care for Finn again!”
“Hannah was great getting Logan moving in the middle of the day while I was at work. She's super responsive and was a huge help to me in my first week back in the office.”
About: Hi! I have grown up in a household where there were always multiple dogs of many breeds and even some cats. I love the company of pets and the energy I get while around them. I’ve watched over my families pets for years and those of close friends. Can’t wait to have my own home of four legged friends in the future! I have the commitment of school (until June) and a few after school activities but I have a fairly open schedule usually, especially on weekends. I try to always create an environment where my pets feel relaxed and stress free while understanding their needs when they try to communicate them. I will make other pets feel comfortable, excited, and stress free while fulfilling their adventurous nature.
About: I’ve had many years of experience taking care of various kinds of pets but especially dogs and cats. i’m aware of the how important exercise, care and just love can be! I can assure you that your loved ones will be safe and respected with me. I am currently a graduate student pursuing my MFA. Pet care is the perfect fit to my schedule as well as satisfying my passion to help and take care of pets! I can abide by any guidelines and or rules set by the pet owner.

“My dog Tako was extremely well taken care of and I got frequent updates. Shanilka was very easy to communicate with and she was very flexible as my travel plans changed due to the weather. I will absolutely be using her again if I ever need!”

“I was very nervous because I never left Niko with anyone before. I got a new job that requires me to travel more than usual. When I requested service, not only did she respond via app but she called me directly. Made me feel very comfortable. I decided to use Shaela and she kept me updated with pics and videos the entire week. I will most definitely use her again if available next time. Niko came home happy and healthy and thats all that matters 🙂”

“Harley was so happy to go back to Jennifer and her wonderful family for a long weekend. He gets showered with love by Jennifer, her sweet daughter Ramsey, and Grandmom Anne! I’m so happy he gets a happy easy-going doggy friend in Khali, and experience with Pursey the cat. It’s so nice knowing that he is so beautifully cared for. Jennifer was extra kind this time, giving him medicine and more walks since he couldn’t run around her spacious front yard due to a healing injury. We love getting updates and adorable pictures throughout his time there. I’m not sure Harley really wanted to leave!”
“I can’t say enough good things! We felt so good knowing our dog, Ollie, was being loved and cared for by Katherin for the 4 days we were away. She followed our instructions perfectly and provided daily updates with pictures so not only did we know what he was doing but we got to see him enjoying his time too. Katherin made it easy for us to relax and enjoy our time away knowing Ollie was safe and happy too. She was also very responsive and flexible both before and during the stay. Ollie came home healthy and happy and he can’t wait to stay with Katherin again!”
