“Gus and Gertie had a great time with Mama D! They made new friends and she even taught them to walk down the stairs. Deidre updated me with many videos and photos which eased my anxiety of leaving the puppies with someone for the first time. We will definitely use her for future trips! Thank you Deidre!”


“We had a great experience with Norma. She is very capable and flexible. She was able to give me piece of kind while she cared for our large dog. She did a great job sending updates, photos and videos. I would highly recommend Norma and will have her watch my dog again.”


“Lorena was great! My dog becomes very anxious when she knows I am leaving town and with Lorena being so welcoming and knowing how to work with anxious dogs it was a perfect match. My dog did great, she felt comfortable and did not have any issues. Lorena also responded quickly when I reached out and sent me pictures of my dog easing my mind. I will definitely use Lorena again.”


“Elisa is charming and knows about caring for older and smaller dogs. She immediately understood what my very old mini dachshund needs, and was patient and gentle. Elisa is equally great with people - very likable and trustworthy.”


“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”


“Can not say enough positive things about Anita! She was great with our dog! She kept us updated throughout Louis stay with photos and text. We will definitely be re-booking Anita in the future!”



“Jessica was absolutely awesome! Jayar loved staying with her and her family! He was happy and in a safe house. We truly appreciate the care she gave to our fur baby! Highly recommend her!”


“Once again we had the pleasure of having Tabitha take care of our dog while we went on a spontaneous weekend getaway, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! She is incredibly responsible, attentive, and so kind. We highly recommend Tabitha to anyone in need of a reliable pet sitter. We look forward to using her services again in the future!”


“Julie is fantastic with dogs. She takes great care of Harlie, as if she were her own. Her sweet Pug Daisy is such a lovely companion for my dog. Such a great dog sitter!”


“I wish there were more than 5 stars available. Patricia is the very best of the best! It's the first time I left Harpo with a light, easy heart. The videos, pictures, comments she left daily were a joy. When I picked him up, he was both happy to see me and happy to bring Patricia home with us (he stood behind her as if to herd her into the car). Apparently, she took care of another dog for me years ago, and not travelling for a while, I had forgotten about her. She is a gem! I recommend her with a full and grateful heart.”


“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Na Rae & Barry! This was my first time ever leaving Sadie with someone else, and I was so nervous, but they made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. From the very start, they were kind, communicative, and made me feel completely comfortable trusting them with my little girl. Sadie actually went into heat during her stay, and they didn’t bat an eye. They got her little diapers and gave her the extra care and attention she needed without making it feel like any trouble at all. I can’t tell you how much that meant to me as a pet parent. They also sent me regular updates and adorable photos throughout the week, which gave me such peace of mind. When I picked Sadie up, she was her same happy, energetic self—and I could tell she had been loved and treated like part of their family. Na Rae & Barry along with their kids, truly went above and beyond for Sadie. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with them again. Thank you both so much for taking such amazing care of my sweet girl!”


“Sunshine and her family did a great job caring for my dogs! She sent pictures daily showing me that our dogs were playing in the yard with her children. They were very relaxed and happy when we picked them up. We will definitely use Sunshine again as a sitter. Thanks again Sunshine!!”


About: I've had three dogs during ny life. I'm a dog person. Dogs are very special to me and you're pet will be treated as such. If any special needs are needed, please let me know. If you have any questions, please let me know. Available for boarding weekend or weekday. Must meet and great prior to boarding. If you need someone to care for your loved dog, I'd be happy to help. Fenced yard and fun loving dog. I have with children, 7 and 11 year old. We all love dogs. Daily walks. Also some trips to the dog park.


“Stella was attentive and loving to our little old little lady. It was Lola’s first time with a sitter other than family in her own home in her whole life. To say we were nervous for Lola and Stella’s family would be an understatement. We feel thoroughly blessed to have had Lola’s first sleepover at Stella’s and hope to book with her again soon!”


“Divah had a Merry Christmas with Kim and family! Many thanks because malamute puppy is resting today from all the playtime with her gorgeous pointers Wicked and Lollipop. Kim and husband Greg are professional people with a lovely home and yard! Their sons are a part of the team as well!”


“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!”


“Ellie was great with Bean. She was very communicative and asked questions upfront to make sure that Bean would be well cared for. Ellie provided multiple pictures and I could tell that my pup was having a blast with her. Thank you so much!”
