“Erica and Ronald were amazing with our dogs. It was obvious our dogs enjoyed their stay and had fun with them. We got lots of pictures and updates from them. We definitely recommend them and would leave our dogs there again, thanks so much!”
“We needed a local pet sitter and, and are so grateful we found Matt and Kat! We received lots of pictures of the dogs on walks, just hanging out and doing their usual thing. The communication from Matt and Kat was excellent and we felt our pups were in great hands!”

“Lori was wonderful with our French Bulldog Beau! She took the time to allow her dogs to meet Beau prior to his overnight stay and showed us around her property to ensure we felt comfortable leaving him. She stayed in contact and sent great pictures while he was in her care. We also ran later than the expected pick up time and Lori was very understanding and accommodating. We will definitely be using her services in the future!”

“Marta was absolutely incredible!! I was nervous to leave my baby puppy since I never had before. But as soon as I met Marta I knew he would be in good hands. Her dog is very well trained and she even helped keep up training while we were gone. He got so much love and stimulation that he was tired for two days after! We can’t wait to use Marta again!”

“We were so pleased that we found Vadym for our Bella. Vadym and his family were very good with Bella and treated her like their own. They have a nice home with a good size backyard, and Vadym would play ball with Bella for break time. We got photos and videos from Vadym every day. I will definitely use Vadym again next time. Will also recommends his service to others too.”


“Brianne took great care of our 19 month old Bernedoodle, Kona. She and her family welcomed Kona into their home with love and care. We received pictures and updates which put us at ease since this was Kona's first time staying with another family and dog. Our dog even forgot who we were when we returned after 6 days to pick her up. Thanks again, Brianne!”

“Tatyanah & Everardo did an awesome job with my Pup Isla!!! My Pup is very timid around other pups, but Tatyanah, Everardo, and their pups made Her feel very welcome. I received videos and pictures throughout the time Isla stayed at their home. I asked them for feedback and tips on how I can get Isla more comfortable around other pups. I would definitely recommend them. Isla will be seeing them soon as I plan to bring Isla back! Thank you Tatyanah and Everardo!”

“All around amazing!! Communication was quick and he was very accommodating to all my and animal’s needs. Caleb was responsive, accommodating, and just so easy to trust. My pups had a great stay as proved through pictures Caleb shared with me throughout their stay. Drop off and pick up were seemless, and I really appreciate all the communication he provided while caring for my animals throughout my trip!!”

“Sana and her family were great with our little brat. She kept a good amount of daily updates and was very quick to communicate with any questions we had. Bentley came home happy and content. Thank you family for caring for our old baby.”


“Leaving our puppies for the 1st time in someone else's home was a little nerve wracking, I was a mess. Angie reassured me Cocoa and Java would be just fine. And sure enough she was right! We got pictures while we were gone and they were living the good life with Angie, her family and Boo. I had nothing to worry about, they were given all the love and attention I could have asked for. The puppies were so tired when we got home, they didn't even ask for a walk for 3 days! Thank you Angie, the puppies can't wait to come back!”

“We had a great experience leaving our two dogs this past weekend with Karen and Steve, we felt very comfortable with everything after meeting them. They were especially wonderful with our nervous dog, he seemed to come out of his shell, which takes a lot of patience. We came home to two happy pups and look forward to booking with them again. We also really appreciate that they were able to accommodate our last minute request.”

“Hyun is the best dog sitter, she took great care of my puppy Honey, and even train her to go potty outside finally! She truly cares about your dog, and she constantly gives you updates and photos. It was honestly the best experience boarding Honey with Hyun. If you have the chance to get your puppy a sitter, be sure is Hyun because she really is the best! Thank you so much for taking such a good care of Honey. 💗😊”

“Until recently, we had never left our pup with someone else overnight. When we met Lucy, we knew she was a great fit for our Kona. After an intro meeting, day long sit and then a 2 night stay, we knew she was ready for a 9 night stay. It took a while for her anxiety and walls to come down, but Lucy was so patient and kind with Kona. We looked forward to our updates, especially the videos and photos, and came to call them ‘Lucy Grams’. It was so comforting to see our girl having fun and Lucy’s two pups are great companions. Would definitely use Lucy any time!”

“Kym is amazing! She took great care of our fur babies. One of our dogs has a medical condition and she took excellent care of him. She even gave them Christmas presents. We highly recommend Kym and will trust her with our pets again in the future.”

“Sierra is amazing, Charlie loves her and her family like his own. He has bad separation anxiety but felt instantly at home over there. I never have to worry about Charlie when I leave him with her. Will always book with Sierra when going on trips. Thank you so much”

About: Animals have been part of my life since I was little — I grew up with six dogs and started caring for them on my own around age 10. It was never a chore. I genuinely loved it. Since then I’ve looked after pets for friends, family, and neighbors, and that same feeling has never gone away. I do drop-in visits, walks, and boarding. Your pet is welcome to stay in my home, where they’ll be treated like family — not just watched over, but truly loved. I give a lot of affection and I make sure every animal feels safe, seen, and cared for. I’m trained in pet first aid and CPR, can handle oral and injected medications, and have experience with senior animals and pets with special needs. Whatever your pet needs, I’ll show up for them. I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel hard. I just want you to feel at ease — and I want your animal to feel loved while you’re gone. I’m currently studying psychology online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet real attention. I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends, and I offer drop-in visits and walks in the morning or afternoon — any day of the week. Your pet is welcome to stay in my home, where everything is calm, clean, and safe. I can also come to your home if that’s what’s most comfortable for your pet. Either way, I’m respectful of their routine and give them plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I always clean up after myself and make sure your animal feels at ease the whole time you’re away.
“Diana is amazing! I appreciated her communication and thoughtful after visit notes. She helped put my worries at ease. My pup is not used to being around other dogs and she has separation anxiety. Diana was wonderful and took great care of her. I know in time she’ll be able to play with the other pups. If you have a small dog and in need of a sitter, I highly recommend Diana and her husband Jim. Your pup will never be bored there and will always have other pups to play with. Plus their whole backyard is dog paradise! We are so grateful we found her.”

“Rachel was absolutely incredible! She took care of our Chip over the holidays and he had a great stay with her and her pups. She was super responsive, friendly, sent us lot of pictures, and we were so happy to know he was getting lots of love and attention from her. We pile definitely recommend Rachel and book with her again in the future.”

Sierra is amazing, Charlie loves her and her family like his own. He has bad separation anxiety but felt instantly at home over there. I never have to worry about Charlie when I leave him with her. Will always book with Sierra when going on trips. Thank you so much

Tricia watched our dog Tucker for a full week while we were out of town, and we could not have had a better experience! She was amazing about sending us daily updates and photos throughout the entire week, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing Tucker was in such great hands. It was clear that she truly cared about him and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Tricia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter, and we will definitely be using her again in the future!

Acausha did an amazing job caring for our two little pups. I was so worried about leaving them fur eight days but I didn’t need to be. Acausha was very patient with our nervous older dog and did a great job with our energetic younger dog. She even sent pictures regularly throughout our trip. I highly recommend Acausha!
