“Kyle and his family were great with our dogs!! We were nervous to leave them while we were away because of previous bad kennel experience, but Kyle was great. Another worry that we had was that one of our dogs takes medication daily, but he gave it to her with no problems! He has a great fenced backyard for the pups to run around, he took them for walks, played with them, sent lots of pics and videos, and showed them lots of love. Our dogs really enjoyed their stay. If you’re in the area we would 100% recommend Kyle!”

“Highly recommend boarding with Juliana! She took great care of our dog, Benny, sending frequent updates where Benny seemed to be having the time of her life :) Most notably, Juliana was totally flexible when flight delays required an extra night of boarding last minute. Will definitely rebook!”

Judith provided twice a day updates which I really enjoyed! She verified with me before I left that twice a day updates would be appropriate which I appreciated too. I would definitely recommend Judith! You can really tell she genuinely cares about dogs. :)”
“Prithvi cared for Bruno for about a week and the experience exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, Prithvi was communicative and attentive, keeping us regularly updated with messages and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear that Bruno was not only well looked after but also genuinely happy and comfortable in her care. I would highly recommend Prithvi to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate dog boarder. She truly treats your pet like her own.”
“Jae and her family were amazing to my sweet puppy. I could not have asked for a better family to take care of my dog; we felt absolutely blessed to have such a perfect home when we were gone. The entire family treated her like she was part of the family, and I always felt comforted on my vacation to receive pictures of my dog enjoying her days with her interim family. I will absolutely only use Jae now. And our dogs have become great friends too, so what an incredible bonus!”
“Monica is awesome with our Sky. She genuinely loves dogs and takes really special care to give ours the attention that she needs. The communication is great and she has been very flexible with our erratic schedules. We’re very happy to have met her and we feel very comforted knowing our Sky is in her good hands”
“We had a great experience with Mike and Mary. Highly recommended. Our senior dog Kodi had a great stay and they depth us updated regularly. We would use them again for sure!”
About: I have been around dogs most of my life. In relation to caring for dogs, I have 12 years of experience. We often help our friends and family with their dogs when they need a safe second home to spend the day at. I work from home certain days of the week, which will allow me to spend quality time with your pets. It would also be great to have a friend during the day for our sweet Penny when she isn’t away with her favorite and absolutely best caregivers we have been blessed with, on days when I’m in office. I live in a dog friendly townhome community. Not having a yard is no problem to us! We enjoy taking walks with dogs to ensure they receive the proper amount of exercise (of course this varies per dog’s age, needs, etc)
“Sherry was the best! She sent me updates and pictures throughout the stay. She made sure Bella felt as comfortable as possible and even went out of her way a few times to make sure that happened. A tip was well deserved! I would highly recommend Sherry as a sitter for your pup! I will be requesting her again that’s for sure! Just hope she’s not booked up when I do. Thank you again Sherry!”

We couldn’t be happier with the care our pup received while we were on vacation. Jisha and her daughter went above and beyond to make sure he felt safe, loved and completely at home. Regular updates, thoughtful little touches, walks, EXTRA playtime and cuddle sessions, it was clear Buddy was in the best hands. Coming home to a happy and calm pet was such a relief. Jisha is not only reliable but also genuinely kind and clearly loves dogs. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter - you wont find better! I am so glad, my BUDDY found another home away from home.
Sherry was the best! She sent me updates and pictures throughout the stay. She made sure Bella felt as comfortable as possible and even went out of her way a few times to make sure that happened.

Highly recommend boarding with Juliana! She took great care of our dog, Benny, sending frequent updates where Benny seemed to be having the time of her life :) Most notably, Juliana was totally flexible when flight delays required an extra night of boarding last minute. Will definitely rebook!
It was a pleasure connecting with Ellen and letting my dog (Olly) stay with her. She kept posting photos and updates regularly. Olly too got a partner to play with. I will always choose to go back to Ellen in future. I would recommend Ellen to any one in need. Thank you for taking care of Olly.
We are so thankful for Sam to take care of our dog Blanca for us while we went on vacation. He made her feel at home by letting her play, have cuddle time and lots of walks. Sam is great about providing updates and photos. We would recommend Sam to anyone and will be happy to have him watch Blanca for us again.
