“Kera was a wonderful sitter. My wife and I felt very comfortable having her look after our pup, Milo. She provided great feedback and updates and made sure we knew what was going on as needed. We could tell that Milo was enjoying his stay with her.”
“You took care of my GeGe like your own. Kept me updated on her day to day activity and her feeding. Missing her momma was a big concern, but Nina cuddle her and made her feel like she was her baby. Love the care. Will request her again and again.”
“I don't know if I can sing her praises loud enough, but I'll try :o) Marliez has been watching our sweet boy Racha, every Saturday for over the past 6 months. Our furball absolutely Loves her and her furbabies. She does so many fun things with him, not only several walks a day, but playing in the doggie fields, leash free and even doggie Pool parties, which Racha LOVED. She sends pictures all the time, which warms my heart. RECENTLY, Marliez watched our Racha while we were out of town. She kept him for a week and every day we would get pics. We could see our baby playing, and napping and eating, just loving life. (I was afraid he might not want to come home he was having such a good time ) Marliez is truly wonderful and a special person when it comes to our pets. I Highly Recommend Marliez, you will not find another person that will love your dog like its her own. We All Love her”
“My lhasa apso is very attached to us and shows high anxiety when a family member is not around, even to the point of vomiting when my daughter went away on a trip in June. I was very nervous about leaving him during our family vacation, but Sarah and her family went above and beyond to make sure that Oliver was comfortable. He received lots of belly rubs and attention, went on nice walks and trips to the dog park, and became BFF's with Jack, their beagle. Sarah sent numerous pictures at least twice a day, and my favorites were of Oliver and Jack snuggling together. Seeing this pictures greatly helped my own anxiety at being so far away from my fur baby. Sarah also gave updates. Her family just really seemed to understand dogs. She was not upset when Oliver had "marked a piece of furniture" but was totally cool about it; similarly, when I warned her that Oliver is prone to throwing up when away from his family, her response was, "we have hardwood floors so it's easy to clean up." Oliver had a wonderful experience with Sarah, Jack, and the rest of the family, and I recommend her for anyone and especially those with anxious pups.”
About: We are a family full of dog lovers. We had our own dog, Charlie, who passed in 2022. While life is too busy for us right now to add another dog into the mix, we’d love the opportunity to care for yours! We know from our own experience how important it is for our furry family members to feel comfortable when we're not around, so we will only be booking one dog at a time so your pet can get all of our undivided attention! I work remotely so someone will always be home to offer potty breaks, walks, and to love on your pet! While we are a busy family, we will only open up availability for when we know we will be at home and be able to spend all our time with your pet. We have a large secure, fenced-in yard that your pet will have full access to. Our home is your pets home. They are able to be on furniture, sleep where they wish, and have access to all of our home. If your pet has a specific routine you implement at home that you'd like them to stick with, we will do the same here (eating at specific times, sleeping in crate, etc). Just let us know!
“Jerry did a great job with our dog Puffin! This is the second time we have used him and we were so happy we did! He kept us updated, sent photos everyday, and was very flexible with pick up and drop off times. We really appreciate having him as a trusted person to watch our little fur baby while we’re away!”
“Kyasia was very accommodating due to our schedule of not necessarily knowing when we’re dropping off or picking up! I appreciate her communication and that she sent pics of the pups!”
“Amanda was so great with my nervous girl Xena, she provided a safe, loving home for her to stay in. Amanda was also amazing with providing detailed updates and photos. I would give 10 stars if I could.”
“Zach, Maggie and Noodle were great! Stella had fun while we traveled. She got multiple walks each day, lots of attention, and felt comfortable enough to sleep on the bed with her hosts. Zach and Maggie were very nice and easy to deal with. Highly recommend them!!”

“Brinda & her husband were absolutely amazing!! She sent me so many picture & video updates throughout each day, which I really appreciated. They filled my pups’ days with plenty of walks, play time, & snuggles. I couldn’t have asked for anything more & will definitely book with them again!”
“Donnell and his wife took amazing care of my young German Shepherd male named Harry. They updated me frequently and made sure to send me lots of photos. Harry loved hanging out with their two cute pups and followed Donnell everywhere. I felt so safe and confident to have him in their care while I traveled for business and couldn’t be more thankful. I would recommend this family 100% to watch any breed of dog because of their experience and passion for dogs. Thank you guys!”

“Fabiola was the perfect sitter for Chance! Located very close by and took us on such a short notice. Her and her partner gave him so much love and attention. We know our boy is very attached, but she sent photos daily to ease both Chance and us! Fabiola took him on daily walks in the city and the photos were so sweet. We look forward to utilizing her services again and I’m sure Chance does as well!”
“Sabrina and Ryan are amazing. They gave constant photos of Sarge and how he was enjoying himself. They have a great backyard with plenty of room for dogs to run around and play. We also liked that there were plenty of dog beds for him to choose from. They also helped us out when our flight was canceled and totally was fine with watching Sarge a couple more days which was really helpful. We’ll definitely be bringing Sarge back for our next trip. You guys are awesome thanks!”

Nicole helped me out with a last minute booking after I was ghosted by another sitter. My old lady, Sophia, doesn’t often get free reign to runaround without a leash - she had a blast doing so at Nicole’s with another dog. Nicole sent pictures and I felt confident that my dog was well cared for.
Once again my precious fur baby spent an extended time with Ginnie and Steve and the whole gang while I was away and he was loved, and cared for and had a bunch of fun. I know I can trust them to look after him and make him comfortable, even if he wants some quiet time under the bed. LOL Knowing he is safe and having fun, allows me to enjoy my holiday too. Thank you for all you do.
We know our dog will always be in good hands here!! We love the updates we get everyday with pics/videos. Robin and her family are so organized and give every dog exceptional love and care :) I highly recommend to go with their services if you want a trustworthy and caring family to take care of your dog!
I can’t say enough nice things about Sean and the wonderful way he took care of our fur baby, Taz. He kept me up to date with Taz’s daily activities and added pictures. I am so grateful for Sean and his excellent care of Taz. I will definitely use Sean again in the future!
Jessica was absolutely amazing with our dog! It was our first time boarding, and she made us feel completely at ease. She took such great care of our dog and sent us daily updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell our dog was happy and well cared for. We will definitely trust Jessica again and will absolutely use her pet-sitting services in the future. Highly, highly recommend!
Nina was such a blessing to find as I was looking for last minute care for my pup! She welcomed Sweet Pea into her home and within the evening she was settled and I could tell she felt at home. She shared pictures throughout the stay and was super communicative which I appreciated greatly! She came home tired and so happy - couldn’t ask for more!
Leah & Jada made Butters feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely loved from the start. They were generous with updates and incredibly transparent throughout his stay, which made everything feel easy and stress-free. Butters settled in immediately and truly seemed at home. It was clear he was in great hands, and their thoughtful, attentive care meant so much. Highly recommend!

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
