“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my dog! Janice was amazing from start to finish. She stayed with him and kept me updated with lots of pictures, which made me feel calm and relaxed knowing he was in great hands. It was clear she genuinely cared about his well-being, and I came home to a very happy pup. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter!”


“I had a fantastic experience with Jhajanny! From the moment we met, I could tell they genuinely love dogs. They were attentive, punctual, and incredibly warm with Mocha, who can be a bit shy around new people. They took the time to learn her routines and quirks, sent regular updates with photos, and made sure she got plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. When I came back, Mocha was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for—which gave me such peace of mind. I highly recommend Jhajanny to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and professional pet sitter. Five stars all the way!”


“Jennifer was amazing. She kept me up to date with King and sent several pictures and videos. I will be bringing him back in August. Thanks Jenn!”


“We know that when we leave Callie with Diana & Harish, she is in good hands. They took such good care of Callie and gave her extra snuggles for us. They also offered to give Callie a bath because she was itchy which was much appreciated. So grateful to have found such a wonderful family when we can't take our fur baby with us.”


“Our dog, Savannah, had a great experience with Mateo!! She got along great with his other dogs, Casper and Mocha, and their cat, Gabriela!! Mateo kept me updated throughout her stay with pictures and messages about how she was doing. She was very happy with them. I highly recommend him and would definitely have her stay with them again on my next trip ??”


“Tynesha and her family were fantastic, sending photos and quick updates throughout our pet’s stay with them! He came back to us happy and healthy (and probably missing his new temporary family a little bit, too). It gives me great peace of mind to know that, if/when we next have to go out of town, we have this great option for our dog!”


“So happy i finally found a sitter i can trust! Super responsible & keeps me updated. My baby is always happy when i pick him up letting me know he’s enjoying the time spent with Jay & Benji.”


“So thankful I found Desiree! She took such great care of my dog while we were away. She was always so quick to respond and provided me with detailed daily updates. I never had to worry that my dog wasn’t in good hands. He had a great time and was made to feel right at home!”


“Ninoska, took really good care of Yoshi. She communicated with me everyday to make sure I wouldn’t worry. I will definitely be a returning customer.”


“Very kind and helpful with lots of updates! Thankful we found him.”


“Noelle and her fam are THE BEST. My lil guy is a high energy, very sassy mini poodle, and they reassured me he’d be fine. And he was! They sent constant updates, and even a video of him dancing with her husband lol. Chili had an amazing time with his friends. We found our permanent sitter!!!! Thank you guys again 🫶🏻”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13. I also used to take care of my friend’s dogs whenever they needed me. To me, those 4 paws babies are more than family, they’re angels on earth! I'm available for boarding on weekends the whole day/night so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups and weekdays from now 8:00 am to 12:00 pm I can easily create your dog enough space to feel free and comfortable like home, take them for a walking while keeping them safe in a peaceful area.

“I was very pleased with the overall experience with Koryn. The communication was excellent and my pup was treated exceptionally well. My Dogg was very happy and I could tell he enjoyed his stay. I would use Koryn again as it was a great experience.”


“We went to Newyork and nearby places for a vacation. Neide was an absolute blessing to take care my little baby Leo. He is a momma’s boy and doesn’t like to stay away from me. We both love to believe that he is out of my womb 😂. Neide did a fantastic job in taking care of him and giving him the love that he was missing while we were away. I wish I have Neide near my home so I can do more vacations that I do. She is absolute best and 💯 I will reach out to her if I am around the area”


“Misty is truly the sweetest person! I've used a few sitters before, but I must say that Misty and her husband gave me complete peace of mind every time Lola stayed with them. They treated her like family, and Misty went above and beyond by sending multiple pictures to show that Lola was safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m so grateful we found someone like her. I Highly recommended 😊”


“Caroline took absolutely amazing care of my puppy. She kept sending us photos and videos of him while in her care. He came back super happy with his time off ?. I would highly recommend her and would definitely be taking her up on future opportunities for care!”


“Nitasha took great care of our dog while we were away. We received daily updates about his behavior when it came to eating, sleeping and playing. If you’re looking for someone to take care of your pet, you can trust they will be in good hands with Nitasha.”


“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Andria was incredibly attentive, communicative, and clearly cared deeply for my pet. I got regular updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Harlo came back happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. Will definitely book again!”


“Excellent service, Yuberkis was amazing with our dog Canguil, she took care of him like it was one of us doing it! I 100% recommend her to any owner. Our dog eats raw food and she was able to feed him without any problem or hesitation, I really appreciate that because there is rarely people or even vets that can take in a dog that eats raw food. She was able to manage and my dog was very happy and loved.”


“Rosario and her family were wonderful with Churro! I had to find care while I was away for 2 days. I was nervous to leave him with strangers but Rosario made me comfortable before I left. Lots of walks, playtime and activities for Churro even though it was raining. I appreciated the daily updates, photos and videos and I could tell my pup was comfortable and happy. Highly recommend Rosario!”

Jhajanny was incredible!! As a relatively first time dog mom I was very particular as to who my puppy would be left with! She was amazing! Attentive to my needs and his, calm and friendly. He looked incredibly happy in every picture she sent! To top it all off, I originally booked her for a couple hours and due to an emergency had to switch from a few hours to 3 days and Jhajanny was super understanding and gracious! 12/10 recommended! I will absolutely book with her again! Thank you so much for treating him with so much care!

Rosario took very good care of my dog. She was prompt in responding to my messages and gave regular updates about my dog. I highly recommend her.

This was my first time leaving my fur baby! With him being a 120 lbs rottweiler, I was very nervous. I met with Te before my dog started his boarding and she made me feel very very comfortable. She has knowledge on the breed and she owns a Rottweiler herself which really made me feel great about leaving him in her care. She kept us updated with pics and answered back quickly when we texted about him. I will stand on the rooftop and recommend her to any and everyone. She gained a new customer for life!!!!!

Great person to watch your dog! Reliable and always available to contact about checking on your fur baby!

Maisha was amazing with my fur baby, reliable, and professional. I got regular updates and photos, and my dog came home happy and well cared for. I’ll definitely book again. Highly recommend!

No need to modify the booking for the early pick up, consider the overage your tip! Thanks so much for taking great care of our boys :)

If your dog is a normal, active dog and very friendly.This is an amazing place for them to stay. My dog loves it here! Thanks again for looking after Richie! It's definitely his home away from home.

Mateo was great to our pup! He sent pictures throughout the stay and reassured us that our sometimes anxious boy was doing just fine. It was extremely accommodating to our requests for Wayne as well.

Luz was FANTASTIC with our senior dog Nugget! He got so much love and outdoor time and attention while we were out of town, and we got so many videos and pictures of him having a great time! By far Nugget’s and my favorite person to watch Nugget while we’re gone!

Sarah was amazing with our senior dog, Tinkerbell! She was gentle, patient, and made Tinkerbell feel right at home. We got updates throughout her stay, which gave us great peace of mind that she was well taken care of. We absolutely use Sarah again the next time we need a sitter.

Kirby had an amazing time! Jose had great communication throughout Kirby’s stay. We definitely would book again.

Ashley was very attentive to Brody and took excellent care of him. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future.

So thankful I found Desiree! She took such great care of my dog while we were away. She was always so quick to respond and provided me with detailed daily updates. I never had to worry that my dog wasn’t in good hands. He had a great time and was made to feel right at home!

Julhiffer and her family were truly amazing and PATIENT with our puppies! They treated them like family and made us so comfortable with leaving them in their care! She sent daily updates and pictures to assure their safety! Our babies are extremely active but loving. I will use them again in the future! Thank you ❤️💙💕💙🐶

Teresa is great and very responsive and I know I can be last minute with booking with her but she’s always there when we need her lol. Lola loves her and runs to her every time she sees her, we have booked with Teresa 3 times I feel like Lola is loved in the care of Teresa! ❤️

Daryluz is great! I’m always a bit nervous to leave my old pittie with someone new. But she kept me updated throughout and made sure he was as comfortable as possible. Definitely book again.

Dana communicates so you feel comfortable and aware. She sends updates, and is on time. Will definitely request sitting from her again
