“I appreciated Melisa and Alexis daily review and they followed my pet’s routine. He was a bit nervous as it was his first time boarding but they kept on sending me pictures and updates every few hours. I appreciated that they let me know about his anxiety his first night, with restless sleep and offered to correct what was causing his anxiety which worked the 2nd night. He slept better and I really appreciated their proactiveness with it. I am at ease now knowing that I found a loving family to take care of my lil Cinco when I need it. Thank you so much Melisa and Alexis.”
“Renata was fantastic! She took such wonderful care of our needy senior dogs. I was so nervous to leave our dogs with anyone but she was so kind and responsive, sent pictures and updates. Will definitely be having our dogs back with her in the future!”
“Melissa & Christopher are exceptional! Our dogs loved their house and they sent video & photos all week playing with them and snuggling them! The dogs had so much fun in their big back yard and they took them on lots of walks. They both work from home so the dogs really enjoyed the 24/7 company. We can’t wait to book with them again!”
“We are so lucky to found Tomoko and her family for our dog Pippi. We were worried at first because this was our first time leaving Pippi for vacation. But we were able to enjoy our vacation after seeing pictures and videos of Pippi. She was enjoying her own vacation at Tomoko’s house ?. Thank you so much for taking care of Pippi. ❤️”
“Ori is always fantastic, always so great with us and with Nova, and Nova comes home happy and exhausted from all the play and couldn't be happier with our multiple stays with her. We moved, farther away, but always choose Ori watch our Nova when we have to go out of town”

About: I’m a dog lover and I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16. I am comfortable walking both large breed dogs and small breeds. I also have an SUV and will be easily able to transport your dog if needed. I work from home full-time and will always be there to care for your pup small or large! I work full time from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am able to fit dog walks and pet care into my day and frequently go on lunch time walks myself. I do not currently have any pets at my home, your dog would receive my sole focus, attention, and care. I live in an apartment building with fenced in pet friendly stations and have a balcony that your pet would be able to enjoy.
“Samantha took such wonderful care of Elias, he didn't even want to come home! He was happy, healthy, and so well-loved. I hope Samantha is always available to care for him when I have to go out of town. She's like his second mama. I might have to take off for a weekend just he can go back and visit!”
“Armando was great with boarding my two pit mixes last minute and was very communicative throughout the stay. He was also flexible when extending the stay and gave prompt updates. I would definitely entrust him with my dogs again!”

“Thank you Linh for taking such great care of our fur baby. It’s always a little hard going on vacation without our pup, but Linh’s regular updates with photos and videos made it much easier. Knowing that our dog gets regular walks, has a large fenced in yard to stretch her legs if she needs it, and is with a true dog lover makes it easier to enjoy our vacation. Thank you Linh, looks like you might be seeing a lot more of Nala in the future.”
