+$10 Holiday fee

Free with every in-home visit: bringing in the mail, watering the plants and putting the bins out. And the meet-and-greet before your first booking costs nothing - it is how we make sure your dog is comfortable with us before anything is agreed.

📸 Every Single Visit

The Photo Report Card

You shouldn't have to wonder how your pet is doing. Every visit ends with a report card sent straight to your phone - what they ate, how the walk went, how they are settling, and photos from the visit itself.

🍽Meals, water and treats - what they actually ate

🚶How the visit went, in their own words

📷Real photos from the visit, every time

And because we're a photography studio too, the photos are rather better than the usual phone snap.

Care that feels like family

"Nakama" means companion - and that is how we treat every dog in our care. Before any first booking we arrange a free meet-and-greet, so your dog can get comfortable with us and you can ask every question on your mind.

Nervous dogs, senior dogs, dogs on medication, dogs who need a slow introduction - tell us at the meet-and-greet and we will work at their pace.

How It Works

Booking is Simple

Request your dates

Free meet-and-greet

Your pet gets loving care and you get updates, wherever you are.

Tena M.Pet sitting client · via Rover

"Allison has been caring for my two dogs, providing daily drop-in visits when I am at the office. She is reliable and communicative and even send pictures during her visits. My older dog has some health issues (which sometimes mean messes on the floor), Allison never hesitates to clean up the messes, which I appreciate. She clearly loves animals and I have peace of mind knowing that my fur babies are being well cared for during her visits!"

Make the Stay Something Extra

Two things we can only offer because we're a photo studio and a bakery as well as a pet sitter.
