1. Sharon S.
“I hesitate to give a great review as I want to be sure Sharon is always available for my Molly but that would not be fair so here goes. Sharon was fabulous. My old Jack Russell terrier needed a place to stay for three days and after several bad visits with others we found Sharon thru a neighbor. She communicated very well and sent pictures daily. I will definitely be using her again.”
2. Lindsey B.
“This is our second time boarding with you and we can not Thank you enough Lindsey for the love and care provided to our puppy, thank you for the daily updates. Love to see how excited Luna is each time she’s there under your care. We can easily say she’s well taking care of. So I will absolutely recommend your services”
3. Skirla N.
“My little Daisy got a whole sitter family. She received so much loving care from the sitter, the kiddos and the family fur baby. She actually seems confused about leaving. She is a rescue dog and she came home with a better behavior on potty breaks. Thank you so much”
4. Shalini J.
“Another wonderful stay with Shalini and her family. Oakley loves staying with them and now recognizes when we're getting close to their house and gets so excited!”
5. Miriam H.
“This was our first time using Miriam to board our fur baby Pepper for the weekend. We were a little nervous since we had a regular sitter for years until we moved a couple months ago. She helped us have peace of mind by showing us where our dog would be staying as well as asking us questions that would help her to care for Pepper. Miriam was very transparent and also introduced us to her doggie 🐶. Everything went smoothly and she kept us updated throughout the weekend. We were also pleasantly surprised that our dog was not as nervous as we thought she would be and was able to adapt quickly. Definitely recommend Miriam and will be using her services again.”
6. Dominique G.
“We felt very comfortable leaving Toby and Calee with Dominique. She took very good care of them, sent me pictures and comments as to how they were doing. She was attentive to Calee’s special needs. Both dogs seemed relaxed and happy when we picked them up. I will definitely use Dominique again.”
7. Renee L.
“So kind and easy-going — even took care of my puppy’s tummy issues! Would love even more photos though haha, she sent some videos which was nice!”
8. Sonia C.
“I was nervous about leaving my little guy for two nights but Jeff and Sony were great. He came back home happy, healthy and very clean. Their fenced in areas were a treat for him and I know he loved being able to spend so much time safely outdoors. I appreciated Jeff immediately assessing his behavior which means he is doing the same with all other dogs. I will definitely be booking them again!”

About: I have lived with dogs my whole life and helped them through all the stages of their lives. From puppyhood to senior dogs I’ve delt with it all and am proficient at training basic skills too. I have lots of experience with disabled dogs as I have one myself so if your dog needs any extra care they will have the best care with me. I have professional experience working with sled dogs in Alaska too! I am also a runner so if your dog has lots of energy and needs lots of activity I would love to take them on runs or hikes to get out all the zoomies. I love animals and can’t wait to meet yours! After working in Alaska with sled dogs I am taking a break from working and want to transition to a full time dog walker/sitter. I currently have all the time in the world for your precious angels. When caring for pets, I prioritize safety, trust, and a nurturing environment. While walking dogs, I remain highly alert and cautious to ensure their safety. I believe in open and honest communication with all clients, discussing their dogs’ preferences and comfort needs to provide personalized care. If you choose to board your dog in my home, they will have the companionship of my friendly dog, who enjoys playing with other dogs. Although I don’t have a yard, I compensate by taking dogs on long walks, ensuring they receive plenty of exercise and playtime.

“Natalie and her partner were great with Beau and really helped me out taking Beau at last minute notice. She was great with communication throughout the planning whole time I was gone.”
11. Scott & Heather G.
“If you want endless pictures of your dog having a blast book here! Scott and Heather were so responsive and heard our needs/ concerns before our drop off. During the stay it was obvious our pup Ranger was well taken care of and enjoying himself to his fullest. They made sure to give us updates about our concerns and it all went so smoothly! We didn't have to worry at all while on vacation and our doodle came home tuckered out and happy as a clam! We were so impressed with their great pictures and the care they showed our pup. Happy we found them!”
12. Emily L.
“Emily was awesome! This was my dog first time with her and I can tell Hope felt like she was at home. She sent lots of pics and understood my dog’s personality very well! She is superb and I hope she is always available for the next time I travel without my dog. Thank you Emily for being so great!”

About: We lost our sweet Maltese earlier this year and while we’re not ready to get another dog just yet I still need my dog fix (cuddles and licks are a bonus!). I work from home full time and would be happy to care for your dog in my home if they don’t mind sitting in on a few conference calls with me. I absolutely adore dogs and would treat yours like a member of our family. If I am caring for a dog in my home, I do prefer small breed dogs under 20lbs and they must be good with kids, as we have 2. Our son is 5 and our daughter is 2. They both have been around small dogs since birth and know how to be gentle and give dogs their space. (Kids would only be around the dog on weekends and after 4pm, as they would be in school/daycare at other times). I’m well versed is giving dogs medicine if needed too. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out anytime! I work full time from home so if your dog is at my home with me during the week they can be by my side all day. I will treat your dog like my own. Happy to crate your dog at night if required but as long as you are OK with it they are welcome to sleep in the bed with us and cuddle up with us on the couch.
14. Grace G.
“I have an older dog, and he has all the ailments typical for his age. The Condo is on the first floor, so there was at most, one step. The area is beautiful and full of trees. Grace has outside decks which my dog loves. We received daily updates and photos so we felt comfortable that he was being well cared for. Our flight came in a bit late, but Grace still allowed us to pick our dog up way past normal pick up hours. I really do feel like Grace listened to me and my concerns and worked really hard to give my dog a comfortable experience. Strongly recommend! (and I am picky!)”
15. Patrick R.
“Excellent dog sitting experience. Great with my dogs, wonderful backyard, easy to communicate with and flexible. Will definitely use again.”
16. Lorraine D.
“Lorraine was very sweet to my dog. She stayed with Lorraine for one week, which made me nervous but Lorraine sent pictures and updated me everyday. My dog gets nervous with change and Lorraine made sure she ate her food and got her normal sleep times. Lorraine communicated great and Izzy came home happy and tired from playing. In our home, a tired dog is a good dog! So we were glad she got plenty of play time. We will use Lorraine again! I do recommend!”
17. Krysta H.
“Buster had a great time and enjoyed playing with Dutton! Krysta provided great photo updates. Buster loved the big fenced in backyard and being welcomed into the family setting that he is use to enjoying! Thank you Krysta and family!”
18. Lauryn D.
“Lauryn is fantastic! My nervous dog warmed up to her so quickly and felt so comfortable in her home. Lauryn took great photos and sent multiple updates a day. We would definitely love to use her services again in the future!”
19. Sylvia R.
“Sylvia and her family took such great care of Parker while we were out of town for a week! Sylvia took her on tons of walks, she ran around and played with Sylvia's dog in her fenced-in back yard, and Sylvia sent photos and videos multiple times every day because she knew I was nervous leaving my special needs pup! Sylvia has volunteered with a local rescue and is clearly committed to every dog's well-being. Our dog will definitely be staying with her again!”
20. Mary B.
“Mary was amazing! She was very easy and quick to communicate with. Her house is set up awesome for dogs with a great fenced in yard! She toom great care of our pup and will def use her again!!! Thanks Mary!”
