E"Ines is a dog‑lover’s dream staycation!"
When I had to leave town briefly, I felt the usual knot in my chest. But then I dropped my dog Rex off at Ines’s place, and wow—instantly, that knot disappeared. From the moment he bounded out the door onto her secured backyard with its awesome dog‑obstacle course, I knew I’d made the right choice. Ines told me he did loops and loops around the course, clearly buzzing with joy from all that space—and nature—to run wild in.
She lives on an acreage just outside the city—a total breath of fresh air for a city dog. No concrete runs. No cramped kennels. Just acres of grass, shade, and trails. Her own dogs are so calm and welcoming that Rex immediately mellowed out; they sniffed, tail‑wagged, and I swear I saw him relax and breathe the fresh air through his ears!
Ines’s energy is like a gentle hug for dogs. She’s calm, kind, and deeply attentive.
She clearly knows dog care, from agility to affection. Her fencing is secure, her land is peaceful, and her care is total—and that peace of mind is priceless when you’re away from your furry family.
This is exactly how dog‑boarding should feel: more like a fun puppy retreat than a pet hotel. I’m already booking Rex’s next weekend escape with her. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+++

SThis was the second time we left our dog, Apollo, with Dina — and once again, she was absolutely amazing. She’s officially our go-to dog sitter! Dina is not only incredibly kind and caring with dogs, but she also truly knows her stuff when it comes to dog behavior and well-being.
She gave us so many helpful tips, from leash training to choosing a better leash, and even noticed that Apollo wasn’t enjoying his food. She kindly offered suggestions and alternatives, which was so thoughtful and showed how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after.
It’s clear that Dina pays close attention to every little detail and treats each dog as if they were her own. We’re really grateful to have found someone so knowledgeable and kind. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced dog sitter!
