“Ivan was the best person to care for our temperamental, special needs dog, Otis. Otis is not comfortable with new people, but Ivan gave him his space, had patience with him and ultimately they became best buddies! My pup has Addisons disease and has an injured hind leg—Ivan took great care of him and made special accommodations for him so he would be comfortable and safe. It’s so obvious Ivan loves animals and has a kind heart for them. All these things allowed me and my partner the peace of mind we needed to enjoy our vacation knowing Otis was in such great hands. We would not hesitate to have Ivan care for our fur baby again. Thank you, Ivan!”


“We had such a great experience with Carlo! Our dog stayed with him for multiple days, and he took amazing care of her. He sent us regular updates and photos, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear that he genuinely cared for her and made sure she was comfortable and happy the entire time. We’re so grateful to have found someone so reliable and kind. Highly recommend Carlo—we’ll definitely be booking with him again!”


“Kristine was very professional and very accommodating to our dogs’ needs especially one of our dogs who can be a bit domineering towards other dogs. Luckily our temperamental dog got along just fine with her dog which made things go more smoothly however she gave us the option to have her dog stay at a relative’s house in the instance there was any tension between our dogs. Kristine also made sure to give us daily updates on our dogs which included pictures which was very much appreciated. We’ll definitely be booking with Kristine in the future!”



“Leila LOVED her time with Suey!! She came back happy and less anxious than I left her! Suey was great about sending me daily photos of Leila which made me reassured that my dog was happy. I will definitely being booking with Suey again in the future!”


“Anna is a wonderful person and dog sitter. She described his personality is on the first day of stay and that's exactlyhow Pluto is. This tells me her caring nature and that she loves and understands dogs very well. She shared his pics and kept me updated on his activities. I would leave Pluto with her again and I know he will be very happy with her. Thanks Anna!!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid and now I own little two dogs. My passion is taking care of furry friends. I’m currently staying at home, so I’ll have plenty of time to play and take care of your pets. I am available every day from 8 am to 10 pm. I have two friendly dogs. My apartment is pet friendly and very sunny, so you pet will have a change to greet with cute friends here.

“Maria was able to accommodate taking Sadie over the holidays when a previous booking no longer worked out. She sent lots of updates and helped keep me at ease while my girl apparently had the BEST time and was better behaved than I’ve ever known her to be 😂. Absolutely will be booking with Maria in the future!”


“Simran was very kind and accommodating and treated our husky with love, just like another family member. Our Akira was able to have another playmate and doggy friend, Sushi, who went on walks with her and kept her company the whole time. In fact, our husky was so happy and relaxed when we picked her, that she didn’t jump up or show any signs of missing me. Doggy proof that she was having lots of fun and attention. A+++”


“William and his wife took great care of our puppy. They sent lots of updates and photos. Mabel became friends with their dog, and she had a great time.”


“Cuau and his family were great. Very attentive to our dog and sent many daily photos, including activity and eating habits. They have an ample fenced yard for our dog’s high energy needs. Plus Cuau was really flexible when I realized I needed to make changes to our plans! Their dog Luma is very friendly as well.”


“Debora and Jorge were wonderful sitters to my little Shih Tzu. Sent pictures and details of the day so that when I was away I had no worries. So grateful for the excellent care they gave to her.”


“Mila had such a fun time! Got tons of exercise after lots of play. Winnifred was great with sending us cute photos and videos too.”


“Na sent photos of our dogs every day. She has a home in a quiet neighborhood with a yard and played ball with one of our hyper dogs every day. She provided nice little beds for them to sleep in and sent photos every day. I felt very comfortable leaving them with Na!”

“Another wonderful stay with Deborah! We’ve been lucky to get her a 3rd time to watch our dog, Roger and her level of organization, care, and affection she showers on our pup are all items I greatly appreciate!! I truly have 100% peace of mind when I leave Roger with him because I know he’s in a safe, caring environment. On this trip, as always, I received plenty of pictures, videos and updates and seeing Roger be playful with her as he’s with us tells me he enjoys these getaways as well! Thank you for all that you do, Deborah!”


“My dog loves Anne because she’s so caring and loving to him and made him feel so comfortable just like in his own home. I would highly recommend Anne and will definitely leave my dog with her again.”


“Martina was great! She followed up to everything very quickly and sent pics and updates of our dog often. You can tell that she loves dogs. She even got teary eyed when giving us our dog back! We will definitely use her for future dog sitting needs!”


“Absolutely the most caring sitter I have ever met yet. Susan helpers us with taking care of Soba for a few days. During Soba’s stay, Susan kept me posted not only the updates but also all the fun little interactions Soba had with her and her two chihuahuas. Soba was so loved and was taken really good care of — he learned to request going to the backyard, he played with Dhickpea and Dough, and Susan took him out more for walks and play time in the dog park. In order to give me the peace of mind, Susan only took Soba in so that there will only be small dogs. Further more, Susan even helped brush him even though this wasn’t something I asked for. Now I need to worry about keeping up with Soba’s expectations XD.”



“Tracy took wonderful care of our pup while we were away for a week. We were a bit concerned about him because he recently had ear surgery and stitches, but she let us know how he was doing, and he looked great when we came to bring him home. She is friendly and easy to communicate with, and obviously loves dogs and welcomes them in her home.”


“We truly couldn’t be more thankful for Cheng and Andree. They go above and beyond when it comes to caring for our precious fur baby. We always get so many updates while we’re away and Lou adores their dog Kuli! Thanks again!”


“Kelly was amazing from start to finish. She was so flexible when our vacation dates changed, adding 2 additional days right at Christmas time. She went over and above by allowing us to come twice for a meet and greet ahead of time so Biscotti could get used to her. During Biscotti’s stay, she sent us multiple updates throughout the day. It was obvious she was taking great care of Biscotti as well as the other 2 dogs she was caring for. Biscotti was happy, healthy, and sad to say goodbye to her new friend when we picked her up. Kelly provided all the daily love and attention Biscotti was used to and we never worried about her during our trip. I highly recommend Kelly!”
