“Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with. My pup was in great hands and thoroughly enjoyed his stay. I was kept up to date of their adventures with texts and photos, and never doubted that my boy was in good hands. Sarah will be my first choice in the future. Im so glad to have someone to trust and rely on to take care of my pup. Thank you so much Sarah!”

“Our pup absolutely loved every minute staying with Shaina! Each photo update was adorable and she was incredibly kind and flexible when our travel plans shifted which was an added bonus. We can’t wait to book with her again!!”

“we booked at the last min and the availability was open she responded quickly very friendly our Ziggy had a blast we was a little late picking him up and they was very understanding! We will most definitely be reaching out again!Thanks again!”

“Reba was fantastic! She gave frequent photos and updates while we were gone, and simply couldn’t have been kinder. Our pups were very comfortable with her and we wouldn’t hesitate to re-book—maybe even just so they get more Reba time!”

“I have consistently used Dustin & Margret for the past 18 months. Penny and I have had a great experience. I would highly recommend them for your pets.”

“As always, Rachael took amazing care of our dog while we were away for a quick weekend trip. She provided constant updates and was especially great with our dog who is afraid of the dark. We are going to miss having such a great Rover when we move away!”

“Great family what I like most is that they work as a team to take care of Cody. Great communication, spacious area, very kind to the dogs. I can say Leah is about her business every time I came by she had a dog there so that lets me know that she is well trusted with animals. I want to thank Mara for taken care of Cody cause he can be a handful because he wants all of the attention, and he is scared of other dogs, she sent pictures and responded to my text messages at timely manner. She told me some things that I didn’t realize about my dog while he was there. There young children are fearless with dogs so that was great to see the kids interact without being scared. I will be sending my Cody back to this family if they will welcome him again. Highly recommend this family.”


“Francie is awesome. Our little man Louie is always happy to go to her and comes home relaxed like he has been on a vacation. We are so happy to have found this wonderful person to watch Louie while we are away.”


“We cannot recommend Sarah enough! From the moment she met our dog, she was patient, calm, and deeply knowledgeable. While we were away for over a week, we received daily photo updates and detailed texts that gave us total peace of mind. Our dog most definitely got more attention and pampering than she does at home:) When we came home, our pup was relaxed, happy, and clearly well-cared for. We look forward to using Sarah on our next trip! Thank you, Sarah!!”

“Lesley is a very nice person and a terrific dog sitter! From the moment I met her, I recognized a fellow "dog person." She took great care of my darling, but sometimes just a tad naughty, 13 year old rescue dog. We will definitely book with Lesley again!”
About: I've loved and taken care of animals since I was 7 years old. I was a groomer for 10 years and fostered for rescue, I specialized in high anxiety and fearful dogs. I am certified in CPR and experienced at giving medication including diabetes shots. I work full time in a pet friendly office, my hours are flexible with a 1 hour lunch break. Pets can come with me if they are friendly with other dogs. In my home we treat pets like our own. I have a fenced yard and we are just a few blocks from the park. We include pets in daily activities, walks to the park, dinner at pet friendly cafes etc. In your home, I will try to maintain your pet's routine as much as possible to avoid an already stressful time while you're away.

“Shari provided a wonderful environment and loving care for our dog, Poppy. Poppy was relaxed at her home and excited to see Shari the second time we booked her. She sent us cute photos and updates and made us feel that Poppy was in the best hands. We will definitely book Shari again!”

“I left my 2 dogs with Lindsey & she made my dogs feel very welcomed as if they were at home. She was very easy to get in touch with & responsive at all times. Her house was clean & dog proof. She followed all instructions given to her & also adhered to concerns that I shared regarding my dogs. I will be using her again in the future. 🐕🦺🐾”

“The peace of mind I have when I leave my puppy with Caitlin and Adam is invaluable. We were gone for almost 2 weeks and I never had a single concern. They take such good care of Jet!”


“Rosie stayed with Jordan for a long first stay, and she was a very happy pup when we picked her up. Jordan was really easy to coordinate with. We would definitely have Rosie stay with him again!”

“Christine and David took such great care of Draco for a week while we were on vacation. I appreciate all the updates and photos. They loved on him as if he was theirs. 💯 recommend!”

“Excellent experience! Rachel took wonderful care of Bella and ensured she was comfortable, played with, and safe. Pictures were sent consistently and Bella was clearly happy and content in her care. What more could you ask for?! Definitely a 5-star sitter!”

Alexandra was the BEST caretaker for Ellie. She attended to all my instructions and made sure Ellie had the best time. She sent daily updates and pictures and I was able to focus on my trip knowing my dog was in great hands. She was even flexible when travel chaos made me a little late for pick up. Thanks, Alexandra!

If we could leave 11 stars, we would! Darius was amazing with Darcy. Walks, snuggles, chill time, treats, and squirrel chasing…she loved every minute and we were so comforted knowing she was in Darius’s care. He has made a four-legged and 2 two-legged friends for life :). Delighted and grateful…we will definitely be booking again! Thank you, Darius!!

Isa is great!! So friendly, and attentive and loving with my dog. I know Lily was well-taken care of and had a good time. I could tell immediately when I picked up my dog that she had bonded with Isa and her friend. Plus she got Lily to eat while I was gone, so that's an accomplishment! I will definitely want to use Isa again for future boarding.

Our cat and anxious dog had the best stay with Kathryn. My pets loved her immediately and she was extremely kind, professional, and warm. She was detailed oriented and give me great updates throughout the stay. 10000% recommend her!!! One of the best experiences I’ve had with a pet sitter in the past few years!
