Sarah took care of Ginger for a week. She not only exceeded my expectations, Ginger was very happy too. Ginger was not as excited to see me as much as she usually does since she adapted so well to Sarah. I plan to use Sarah again.

Alison is fantastic! My dog Porter had such a great time with her. Her communication, willingness to run/exercise with Porter, and her flexibility was wonderful. Such a relief to know that my dog is comfortable and enjoying himself hanging out with Alison as much as I enjoyed my vacation! Highly recommend!

Rose took such great care of our dramatic girl! She was easy to communicate with prior to the booking to make sure we were all on the same page about Lady’s needs, and she sent lots of pictures during her stay. Any dog would be lucky to be watched by Rose!

Jessica was able to take Coakley overnight short notice. We were in town on vacation and had a show that evening. Excellent communication/pictures; we'd absolutely book again next time.

I worry about leaving my dog with anyone but Marley felt right at home almost immediately which made me feel at ease. I HIGHLY recommended Victoria, couldn’t have asked for better.

We had a wonderful experience with Alma, who invited our Whoopie into her home and family. When possible, Alma also arranges a meet and greet before the stay to ensure a good fit. Thank you so much Alma! We hope we can meet again and reunite dogs and people.

Stephen was an incredible dog sitter. My dog is pretty big and has some reactivity triggers but he was super comfortable around Stephen and was clearly well taken care of when I picked him up. Would highly recommend his services!

Jennifer is fantastic! She is an animal lover and a responsible pet owner herself, as well as my go-to dog walker and pet sitter for when I am traveling or need an extra hand. She is trustworthy, has a lifetime of experiences with animals of all kinds, and reliably cares for my dog and cat when I'm out of town. Please don't hesitate to add her to your pet care crew.

Elizabeth is awesome! We left our chihuahua with her for about 2 weeks while we were out of town, and we felt so comfortable knowing our little baby was in such a loving home, with someone who adores dogs as much as Elizabeth does! She sent us pictures, videos, and sweet little updates everyday, and we even had the opportunity to FaceTime with our little angel 🐾 We forgot to pack our dog’s winter coat, and it got quite cold, but Elizabeth had an extra coat that she bundled her in to make sure she was safe and warm on their walks through Evergreen. Also, our little pup gets nervous when we leave her and sometimes won’t eat because of it, but Elizabeth HAND FED her! And then she ate her whole dinner like that. Can you believe that? If that doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about how much Elizabeth cares, I don’t know what will. One more way that Elizabeth went above and beyond that really meant the world to us, was how flexible she was with scheduling. We had some unexpected very-last-minute changes to our trip, but Elizabeth was extremely accommodating, kind, and patient. She really had our back. Elizabeth is such a good person, and you can tell that she really cares about you, as well as your dog. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and above-and-beyond to take care of your beloved dog, look no further! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you Elizabeth!

My labradoodle Greta thrived while staying with Andrew for 6 days. She’s always a bit shy and anxious when away from me but Greta had obviously bonded with Andrew during her stay. I got photos every day so I could see that she was relaxed and having fun with other dogs staying with Andrew. I will definitely re-book with Andrew the next time I’m looking for Greta care.

Yuki was so great with our dog, Sadie! Her apartment is perfectly set up to welcome a dog and had toys at the ready. She kept Sadie entertained while we discussed her routine and needs. We felt very relieved to have found Yuki for Sadie's overnight care and we got some happy pictures of her while we were away. Yuki was very communicative and we appreciated her flexibility on timing of the drop offs and pick up. We look forward to having Yuki care for Sadie again. Thank you!

About: I’ve always had a dog growing up, she was a rescue so I have good experience dealing with troubled dogs. My neighbors also had multiple pets that I would walk multiple times a week. I work in Portland, ME from 7:30a-3:30p, I am mostly looking to walk a few dogs in the area in the afternoon ! : ) The home has a large yard, not fenced so I would walk the trail that runs behind the home if preferred or needed ! : )

Carrigan has been a wonderful help in caring for my beloved fur baby. She has a gentle demeanor that immediately puts my pup at ease, and she is attentive and thorough. I was very lucky to have her help, when she was here on Maui.

Lingling was so amazing and so easy to work with! We had never left Poppy our 4 month old puppy and Lingling was very understanding and treated Poppy like it was her own dog. We got daily updates and photos and she even worked on commands we were working on with Poppy. Will definitely book again!

Kathleen took great care of my big guy! It’s always tough with a nervous dog, especially one that’s 100lbs. She managed to keep him calm and safe during his stay and we are so grateful!
