“Christine and family took great care of Coco and treated him as their own. It was really comforting to know that he was in a safe and loving home while I was traveling. I highly recommend Christine as she is a genuine and attentive hostess.”


“Hannah took great care of my baby. She’s super chill and sweet. Sent daily pictures of my dog while in her care. Normally my dog does not eat her food if I’m not around but that wasn’t the case with Hannah. I’d definitely recommend using her services!”

“Amanda is amazing. We took a 4 day road trip and left our two small doodles with her. It was our first time leaving them home and we had a lot of anxiety and nerves but Amanda send us constant updates. She took them outside to play for hours and even bought a pool so they could maybe swim and cool off. There was other dogs that our pups got to meet and socialize with and they had a blast playing. The vibe was a doggy summer camp. I am confident she took care of our babies as if they were her own.”

“Melissa and her husband were unbelievable dog sitters! We were so nervous leaving our over-active puppy anywhere, but they went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable for our trip and our pup happy. The entire time they were sending updates, pictures and making us just enjoy vacation without having to worry about how our girl was doing without us. Her dogs were best friends to her while we were away. From the moment we drove away from their house to the moment we picked her up, we were not only satisfied but excited with the care and love she received. We will be using Melissa every time we leave from here on out.”

“Enzo had a fabulous time with Brian and his family. From drop-off time till pick-up after a few nights (we were having work done in the house), Enzo was super excited to meetup and stay with Brian. We were constantly updated by Brian all through Enzo's stay. Best part was Enzo made a very nice set of friends with Brian's & his son's dogs. Being part of their family was a great experience. Definitely recommended and will repeat!”

“Danielle and her family were wonderful with Dunkin! She sent us pictures and updates, and was quick to respond whenever I sent her a message. He had a great time and he is looking forward to his next visit.”

“David was amazing! If you’re a nervous cat mommy like me, don’t worry at all. My baby was so well taken care of, and David sent a ton of updates and pictures while I was away which all pet parents love lol. 10/10, and @David I will be seeing you soon!”

“Jim provided excellent care for my pup. I really appreciated his availability when my previous boarding arrangements fell through at the last minute. My pup is a finicky eater and Jim kept me up to date on her feeding habits and asked permission to add tempting meat to her food to entice her. She loves to run at full speed, so his fenced property was ideal. Jim also communicated with me as well as provided plenty of photos during her stay and a video of her socializing at playtime. Thank you Jim!”

“Purvi is the best! We needed a sitter last minute and she was wonderful. Always kept us up to date with our puppy and took great care of her. Would highly recommend.”

“Exceptional service from Monica as always. My Teddy boy knows his second home and her family. Couldn’t have chosen a better place and person to trust with my furry baby. Monica is absolutely fantastic.”

“So patient and kind with Oona. She was so well cared for during her stay and I received many pictures and videos while I was away! Was a joy to book with and would book with again! Thank you Equasia!”

“If I could leave 6 stars, I would! This was our first time using Meghan and she was amazing. We planned to have her watch our dog from Wednesday to Monday for a long weekend getaway, and then a snowstorm canceled our flight and we ended up being stuck away for 4 extra days. Meghan was so helpful and offered to go buy extra food for our pup since we had only packed him the amount he originally needed, and made us feel so comfortable leaving him there for what turned out to be such a long time. She sent lots of pictures and updates and I could tell my dog was having SUCH a good time. Usually when we pick our dog up from a sitter he is crying and squealing with excitement to see us… this time when we finally picked him up, he literally tried to go back into Meghan’s house and did not want to leave. He’s been depressed ever since we brought him back home… slightly heartbreaking for us LOL but a testament to what a great time he had with Meghan!”

“I hesitate to leave this review for selfish reasons but gatekeeping is not an option. It was clear from the moment we walked in their beautiful home our dog would be well care for by Kevin and Natalie. Teddy is an old boy with anxiety but fit right in without issue. The pictures and updates helped us enjoy our vacation. We will absolutely book again. Thank you both!”


“This was the first time we left Ralphy (14 yrs. old)with Tiffany for one night. He really enjoyed exploring her fenced in back yard! Her dog, Penny, is a sweetheart. Ralphy seemed happy there so we will definitely be using Tiffany again!”

“We were in a bind and Leila stepped up to help us out. We were super nervous to leave our dog with a stranger but it wound up being a great decision. She was excellebt with our old guy and she sent us photos and kept in touch. Will be booking again.”


“Wonderful folks who take wonderful care of our pup. We call going to their home as going to camp, and now she gets excited when she hears about camp. She comes home happy and tired from playing. Thank you for taking such good care of Eris!”

“Our dog Charlie was in great hands. She went above and beyond to make Charlie comfortable and feel loved while he missed us. Sent many pics and updates along his stay! We will def recommend and use again”

“Emanuel and his mom were great at caring for Easter. This was her first time staying with someone and they allowed her to come over in advance to check out the place! Their dog was super friendly and when the night came for her to stay over they were accommodating! Would definitely have Easter stay again!”

This is the second time we have trusted Emily with our dog Jenny and it was just as great as the last time! Emily made sure that Jenny was comfortable and helped ensured that she adjusted well. We also received many pics of her while we were away which was an extra peace of mind. She’s the best!

Sarah is my go-to sitter for my dog anytime I go out of town for about 2 years now. I have used her multiple times and I'm always satisfied with the quality of care and service she provides. I recently used her in May for week and last week for a trip as well. Will also be using her in October. I highly recommend!
