“Kris was so great with Tenny. She's super experienced with old, needy dog. She's patient and also fun and nurturing with Tenny giving him everything he needs: food, medicine, nap, massage, short walk, and lots of fun! Tenny was happy on the meet-and-greet and he was excited for the drop off. He is also happy and content for the pick up telling me that he had a great stay and he'd gladly do it again anytime!”


“Jessica and family are amazing hosts! They took care of our pup like she was one of thier own. Super flexible and communicative. Would ABSOLUTELY book again. Can’t recommend enough!”

“They took great care of my pup, giving him lots of cuddles and treating him like he was part of the family. I loved getting all the video and photo updates. I think he also enjoyed having Nikko to play with! Excellent experience and I wouldn't hesitate to leave my pup in their care again.”


“Julia was amazing with Lucy. We received detailed updates about how the days we’re going, as well as multiple photos showing how much fun she was having. Lucy would love to go back to stay with Julia and Yoda anytime. Highly recommended.”


“Jennifer was amazing with Ace! She kept us updated and he came home super happy. He absolutely loved her yard and all the attention he got. Thx!!!”


About: I have had and cared for animals of all kinds my entire life. Decided to board for those in need after we recently lost our beloved dog. We’d ’love to shower your dog with affection, care and fun when you need to travel! We do have cats who who are comfortable with dogs. I am currently working from home and can board dogs on any day. Prefer to care for cats in your home, however. Will take good care of your loved buddy! We have a fully fenced yard with green grass in back, and a very walkable neighborhood. Our fence is much taller than most, but I never leave them unattended in back yard to avoid any tricky escape artists.

“Mimi is fantastic! My pup was well cared for and had such a good time w/ his new little buddy, Tribble. Mimi sent tons of pictures and updates, and kept my guy comfy and safe. We'll definitely be calling Mimi again!”


“Kevin and Kandice were great. Our dog unexpectedly ended up in a cone with some additional medications and a toy ban the week before his stay and they took it in stride! Skippy had a great time with lots of walks, cuddles, and sniffing adventures despite his new limitations. They were flexible and communicated well with lots of pictures. Will book again!”


“Brenda was a wonderful sitter for Penny! She was responsive, detail orientated, sent the best pictures, and I could tell she really cared about Pennys wellbeing! Would highly recommend.”


“After the first Rover boarding with someone else didn’t go so well, we weren’t sure how things will turn out this time around. However, Kimiko exceeded our expectation and we are convinced by now that she is a dog whisperer. She is loving, caring, patient, fun, understanding, reliable, responsive, knowledgable, and everything you’d look for in a carer for your pup(s). The way she communicates with us dog parents is truly professional, and our pups had an amazing stay with her and her fur babies based on pictures/videos/updates she would send us through out the stay. I feel like we found someone who not only we can trust but also our pups feel comfortable and safe being around. Thank you, Kimiko!♥️”


“Erin and Kevin were great with Punky! We got daily updates about how she was doing and what they were up to together. For the first time ever, she was even a little casual at pickup time, rather than her maniac self. We know she enjoyed her stay with their loving family and would absolutely book with Erin and Kevin again.”


“Michelle was fantastic with Gigi! She responded quickly and sent many photos of her throughout the day. We loved how she lives in a house and not an apartment, since Gigi can get a little anxious with neighbors walking down a hallway and outside noises. She was there for 6 nights and came back exhausted which is always a good sign of a successful dog sitter vacay! We will definitely use Michelle in the future!”


“Ryley and Juyeon was awesome. They really took time to make our dog comfortable. They always update us and send photos. At the end our dog felt really comfortable with them.”


“Angelique clearly has heart for this work. She is patient, flexible, highly skilled in caring for dogs. Evie had so much fun and was totally spoiled. Communication is excellent as well as text and photo updates, which are much appreciated. Would not hesitate to have Angelique care for Evie in the future.”


“Sandie took great care of Roux! We got photos and updates each day we were away, and Sandie was really communicative with us before and throughout our booking. This was Roux’s first time staying with Sandie and we were gone for a week, so we were extra happy to hear that she felt comfy enough to eat all her meals right away and sleep near Sandie, which isn’t always the case when we travel. It was a relief to find Sandie as she clearly knows how to care for a range of dog personalities and needs, which is important for us since Roux can be shy and independent. We will absolutely book with Sandie again! Thanks for taking such great care of our pup :)”



“Melissa and her husband were amazing sitters! They kept in touch with us and sent us pictures each day. We felt content knowing that Brody was with them. They have a flexible schedule and made things as easy as possible for us and Brody (making him feel extremely comfortable). Brody and their dog (Sabbath) became best buddies and we can’t wait for Brody to go stay with them again next month.”


“Nikolaj was fantastic with our dog Molly. She is usually quite attached to us, but was immediately comfortable around him and was sad to leave. We got plenty of photos as well.”

“Maria is honestly the best dog sitter we’ve ever had for Petunia. Maria’s place is her home away from home these days when we need to travel. We can tell Petunia’s anxiety is completely gone at pick up and drop off because she’s so well cared for :)”


“Our pup stayed with Daisy again while we were out of town. She was great about sending pictures. Our dog seemed very relaxed and came home tired :) Highly recommend trusting Daisy with your dog!”


“Thanks so so much to Ale and Raul for taking in our dog at the very last minute! They were so lovely and welcoming and helped us get her settled in quickly before heading off to the airport. They sent lovely and hysterical updates and were so wonderfully communicative and we felt so comfortable knowing our girl was in the best hands. I’d recommend them to anyone!”
