My Lucas, who is a senior dog, recently stayed with Sandra, and the experience was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we met Sandra, it was clear how much she genuinely cares for animals. She took the time to understand Lucas's needs, his routine, and any special requirements due to his age. Her home is warm, welcoming, and perfectly set up for dogs of all ages, with plenty of cozy spots for older pups to relax. What truly sets Sandra apart is her dedication to keeping pet parents updated. Throughout Lucas's stay, she sent daily photos and videos. It was such a relief to see him so well cared for. I also appreciated how Sandra took the time to update me on his eating habits, energy levels, and any little moments of joy he had during his stay If you're looking for a dog boarder who treats your furry family member like their own, Sandra is the one. She’s not just a dog sitter; she’s a true dog lover who goes the extra mile. Thank you, Sandra, for taking such wonderful care of Lucas.

I recently left my dog Peanut with Min for 3 nights. It is the first time we leave our dog with a pet sitter. Min is attentive and making sure that Peanut felt welcome and comfortable at home. One of the highlights of Peanut’s stay was the wonderful companionship of Whisky (Min’s dog), who is such a friendly and playful dog. Peanut has an amazing time running around with Whisky! Throughout the stay, Min kept me updated with photo, videos and messages which gave me a great piece of mind when oversea. Highly recommended pet sitter! Thank you for taking good care of Peanut!

With home dog boarding, your dog stays overnight at a sitter’s home. Instead of being in a crowded dog kennel or dog hotel, your dog can be in a comfortable home and receive the same quality level of love and care you would provide.

Your dog will be staying at the sitter's home. Be sure to discuss any requirements with your sitter prior to booking. The more your sitter knows about your pet, the better! That way they can really ensure that your pet has the best and most comfortable stay.
