“Mariah and her family always take such great care of Boo when I’m in town, and they are always so flexible with timing! Boo is always so happy to be at her house he doesn’t even look back when I leave. Can’t recommend enough!!”
“Mira absolutely loved her stay with them. They were very welcoming and answered any questions that we had. They provided steady updates/pictures and were understanding of the fact that she’s a puppy and still learning. We would 100% recommend them to anyone!”
“Five stars all around, amazing sitters, super responsive and shared lots of pictures which we absolutely loved seeing. They were above and beyond communicative and amazing and look forward to having our pup stay with them again!”
“Haley took amazing care of Toby and kept me updated with pictures of their adventures which definitely helped me since I missed him so much. I will absolutely book again next time I need a dog sitter”
“Atticus was well taken care of and it seems like he had fun times playing with their dogs. Very knowledgeable and responsive to all questions. Sent lots of photos and videos!”
“I think I found our go-to dog sitter! My lab Winnie was in great hands with Ryan while I was traveling for work. I received frequent photo updates and could tell my pup really made herself at home. I love how Ryan has kids, lives near a park and works from home - a great combo for peace of mind. Ryan is the first person I'll 'call' next time I need dog care. :)”
“Mikaila and Billy are so wonderful! AB has so much fun with them and seems really comfortable. She really enjoys her stays and I feel very comfortable leaving her with them.”
“Katie kept our 2 dogs and was wonderful! She gave several updates which made me feel more comfortable and was very aware of their needs. I felt great leaving them with her!”
“Michelle took great care of our dog Ollie. He stayed with her for two nights while we were away at a family reunion. He loves to play with other dogs and had a great time playing with Michelle’s dogs. She treated Ollie just as her own. I would highly recommend using Michelle for your dog sitting needs.”
“Lauren was wonderful! She took great care of our Golden Retriever, Stevie, while we attended a PSU game. Would absolutely recommend her and use her services again!”
“So incredibly willing and kind. Great communication. I have two dogs, and they’re usually unsure around new people, but they weren’t with Derya. Both boys warmed up to him almost immediately. While I was away he kept sending me photos of videos of my boys with updates letting me know how they were doing. When I got back up and picked them up, my boys were happy and very clearly enjoyed their time. Would 100% recommend Derya to anyone wanting to know their fur baby will be safe while they are away. Like Derya said, you’re on vacation and he treats your dogs like they are also on vacation. You cannot go wrong booking with Derya, so do it!”
“10/10 recommend Brooke! Our senior dog had a great stay with her. She sends photos and lots of updates and he returned so happy! Will be booking again for sure. Thanks Brooke!”
“Diesel had a great getting to play with David's two Shepards and a Burmese Mountain dog. He was very easy to communicate with and took awesome care of my pup. Will definitely use again in the future.”
About: Dogs are such wonderful animals! I will take good care of your pup and be sure to spoil it with toys and walks. I know how hard it is leaving your pet while you are away, and will share pictures of your pet every day with you. I am self-employed and my schedule is very flexible, and I often work from home. Also, I'm pretty sure my two teenage kids would be involved with spoiling your pet as well. Luckily, I have a two-story duplex, so if there is a problem between my pets and yours, there is plenty of safe place. Also, I live near a park with lots of space to run.
“Always great with updating me on how my puppy is doing. Sends lots of videos and makes sure he gets lots of play time. Very responsible with making sure dogs are separated if they don’t get along with each other. Always watches my dog great”
