“Katerina was awesome! Our pups seem to have loved their stay! She was really fast with communications and it was nice to see some pictures of them enjoying themselves! Would use again!!”


About: We only take dogs under 40lbs. I have a 5 acres property. 1 acre fenced in so dogs have a safe space to run and play. It is a dogs vacation paradise. My family and I love animals and love helping others. I am home full time to care for your pets like they are our own. I am excited to take care of them while you are away. We have a big family and lots of love to give. We only care for dogs under 40 pounds. This ensures your little furry family members are safe at our home. My property has paths through it and has lots of space. The dogs in our care get a vacation of their own while at our home.

“Barb, was absolutely wonderful. Very accommodating and communicative. Our dog is a picky eater and she even went as far as feeding him out of her hand to make sure he was eating enough. We couldn’t have asked for a better care taker for our fur baby. Will definitely book again!”


“Arpita was wonderful and took great care of our golden ret while we were traveling. We loved the constant updates and photos she shared with us. We will definitely be boarding our golden again with them !”


About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds — playful pups, mellow seniors, and everything in between. My experience started with helping my sister care for her dogs, and over the years, I’ve walked, fed, and looked after dogs for friends, neighbors, and family. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to each dog’s personality and needs. I have a quiet home and a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely explore, relax, and enjoy the fresh air. With me, your dog will be loved, understood, and truly cared for — just like they deserve. I mostly work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pup throughout the day. I’m available for daytime check-ins, boarding, and doggy stays at my place. I can also pick up and drop off your dog if needed — making things easier for you. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or a cozy place to stay while you’re away, I’m here and happy to help. I offer a calm and loving environment with a fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and relax. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and routine, whether they need space or lots of cuddles. I can easily crate your dog if that’s part of their routine. My goal is always to make your dog feel secure, understood, and cared for — just like they would at home.

“Thank you Judy for an outstanding experience for our beloved dog and for all of us. Your love and caring for Tesla was so wonderful. You communicated twice a day with pictures and updates and they were detailed and reassuring. We really looked forward to our mini chats. Your responsiveness was also great. We knew we could reach you at any time, not that we needed to 😊. You also provided a safe and happy environment for him and he loved being in your home. He was a truly contented pup while he was with you. Words cannot express how grateful we are to you, for providing a home away from home for our dog. Thanks also for grooming him and keeping him in a tip top condition. We cannot say enough about the wonderful service and care you provided. We enjoyed our vacation so much more knowing he was in the best care we could have arranged for him. Thanks again and any dog is lucky to have a home with you while their owners need to be away. We certainly were. I cannot recommend you enough. You are truly the best!!!! 🐕💕🙏🥰”


“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”


“This was my first time using Rover and I have to say I am very thankful for John & Louis. My dog struggles with separation anxiety from me and she was comfortable with them and did very well. I received daily updates with photos and highly recommend John and Louis. I will definitely be using them again.”



“Jessica took great care of Avery. She was boarding another rat terrier at the same time and took steps to ensure the two dogs got along at feeding time. Her daughter made sure Avery got lots of love and exercise. She came home happy & healthy. Overall it was a great experience.”


“This is the second time we have used Anita to watch our dog. This past visit was for 9 days and our 15 year old dog was completely happy and very much at home with Anita. I would highly recommend.”



“MICHELLE and Robert have been great! I've left both my dogs with them twice now and have future dates set. They are wonderful, my dogs came home happy and stress free. I love that they only take small dogs so I have no concern about my little ones. I highly recommend them!!!!!”


“Anzhalika is a great dog sitter! She sends updates and pictures/videos everyday! Her and her family are very sweet and easy to work with. My pup loves staying with her and had no problems warming up to them at all :)”


“Chisato was a great dogsitter! She sent multiple updates every day with how Juni was doing. She followed Juni's care instructions and reached out if she had questions. Juni seemed like she had a lot of fun with Chisato! Thank you, Chisato!”


“Fantastic dog sitter! I picked up my poodle after a week and I can tell he had a great time and was very happy. Alejandra sent me photos every day and her entire family was enthusiastic to host my dog for the week and was involved. Great sitter!”


About: My ability to quickly bond with an animal my flexibly and customer service. I may just move your pets more than you do . I’ve always had multiple pets and now I get to give back . I am retired and can work as many house as possible. I am looking for a full time role and I am free day and nights By protecting them each pet and hind is different. In my house we have a fence in others we used leads. At other homes they’ve had everything from electrical fences ….. nothing would be new to me. I just believe in the safety of the pet

“Deidre is excellent as a dog sitter and overnight dog watcher. She takes a very personal approach both with the pet owner and the pet itself and has a great dog river that played with my Frankie all the time. I strongly recommend Deidre for any of the need you might have for your pet”
