“Sarah did a great job with our pups! She took them out on long walks and communicated any questions or issues she faced. She also cleaned up after herself and left our home the way she found it which was greatly appreciated.”

“Violeta really is the best in care with my fur babies! They were so happy when they met her and from the pictures were very well loved and cared for while I was out! I will be having Violeta as my nanny moving forward and recommend having her care for your fur babies!!”

“Damien did an amazing job at caring for my dogs. They warmed up to him very quickly loved being around him. He was also very respectful of the house and very clean. I will be booking him again. I highly recommend Damien to anyone needing a good sitter.”

“Lindsey was amazing! They took excellent care of my dog, kept me updated with pictures, and made sure my pup was happy and comfortable. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such great hands. Highly recommend!”

“Sonia was so kind to take a last minute booking for a family emergency. She came for a meet and greet and asked great questions to make sure she was prepared. She was communicative and sent pictures throughout the stay, and followed through the schedule we had discussed. She definitely seems like a dog whisperer, when she came to bring the key back, my dog stood at the door watching her! I would absolutely welcome her back to house/dog sit.”


“Meg was great! She was very patient with Ace and handled his silly antics. It was a last minute booking and Meg was very accommodating. She took the time to get to know Ace before the booked sitting, which was greatly appreciated. She sent frequent updates and pictures. Im definitely booking Meg again!”

“Nichole was very attentive and Lenny enjoyed his time with her. She went above and beyond and paid special attention to him because he was sick, but still took the time to let my other pet out and take care of him. Her background as a VA was a big reason why we chose her, but her compassion and attention to detail is why I'll chose her first going foward.”

“She went above and beyond. Was great at communicating and sent lots of pictures for peace of mind. You can tell she truly loves animals!!! We will be using her again”


“Faith was wonderful. She loves animals and really cares. She's great at communicating and sent awesome updates and pictures! I would absolutely book with Faith again!”

“Wow, I can not believe the great job that she did and will definitely be using her services again. I was left a little in a predicament when another sitter backed out in me just 3 days before I was supposed to be gone for a week. Denise answered my last minute plea for help and we did a meet and greet with the animals. She did a great job taking care of them and I am sure they will miss her especially Coco, who she always took on walks. I highly recommend her.”

“Grey was great! Respectful to our home but most importantly respectful to our pup! Sent regular updates and went above and beyond. We travel often so we will be using Grey again in the future! Highly recommend! We came home to a happy and healthy pup!”

“Could not have chosen a better sitter for our pup. We came in from out of town and I was so nervous to get a sitter to come to our Air B&B but Nev hit it out of the park! I am so thankful and would love to come back and have this star sitter in the future!”


About: Dogpark local from the downtown area. I have a dog, Barbie, and my two cats, Kori and Envy. I’m active, positive, professional, and gentle. I feed both my cats and dog in the morning and afternoon. I take Barbie out every morning and afternoon, sometimes at night around the park. All of my animals are very playful. I am a Dogpark local, who takes care of many of my friends pets and homes. This includes taking them to the Dog Park, walking, and sitting for them.
“We recently had the pleasure of having Sam watch our two dogs for nearly an entire week, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the care and attention he provided. Sam went above and beyond, even rearranging his work schedule to make sure our dogs were well looked after. He maintained their regimented routine, preparing their unique meals twice a day and taking them out for potty breaks and exercise an additional 3-4 times per day. His conscientiousness really showed in everything he did. Sam stayed overnight in our home, ensuring our dogs felt safe, secure, and comfortable in our absence. His communication was excellent—he sent us multiple photo updates throughout each day, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear from the photos (and when we returned!) that our dogs were happy, calm, and well cared for. Honestly, I don’t think they even realized we were gone! Sam is incredible with animals, and it’s obvious he has a natural connection with dogs. He’s also friendly, respectful, and trustworthy. Knowing he was there allowed us to enjoy a much-needed vacation without any worry. We’re already planning to book Sam again for our next trip! If you’re looking for someone dependable, kind, and dedicated to caring for your pets as if they were his own, we can’t recommend Sam highly enough. Thank you again, Sam!”


“Leo has stayed at my place before, and again Leo did amazing. I go away knowing he will take care of my pets, and watch my house wonderfully. Leo cared very well my pets. In particular, he provided my senior dog his meds right on time, and was very patient with the young and picky eater female. He also helped watering my plants, and looked after the crabs. He leaves the house clean after he leaves! We definitely will seek for Leo’s care again next time we go out of town.”

Wow, what a gift Sonia is. From the start, communication was excellent, and it was clear that my dog was in caring and capable hands. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me peace of mind while we I was away. It was also very special that she appreciated and noticed the same little things about my dog that I do, a sign that she was being present and loving towards my little one. So happy to have found her. Thank you Sonia!!
Amazing sitter! Meet & greet went well- she was thorough- asked good questions and was kind to the dogs and cat! The sit itself went wonderfully, she sent photos and we got home to a very tidy home with a clean litter box and clean dog bowls! We would definitely recommend and will work together again!

Dorothy was absolutely amazing with both of our boys! We had a meet and greet before she house sat for us and the boys instantly loved her. While we were away, she followed all of our rules, especially with giving Odie his daily medication twice a day. She sent us constant pictures of the boys while we were away, and there was never a moment where she was not playing with them and keeping them entertained. Dorothy was an amazing sitter, and we will be more than happy to have her watch over our boys again. Thank you Dorothy!!

We had an unexpected situation come up right as we were leaving for Puerto Rico, and our original sitter canceled last minute. Thankfully, this amazing couple stepped in on very short notice and completely saved the trip for us. From day one, they were incredibly reliable, communicative, and caring. They made sure our dog was comfortable, stuck to his routine, and handled his medication perfectly. We got regular updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while being away. You can tell they genuinely care about the pets they look after, and that meant everything to us. We came back to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and attentive sitters—we’ll definitely be booking with them again!

Another stellar visit with Rebeccahlynn! She is so wonderful with our 14 year old Shih Tzu Barkley - this is her second time staying at our house while we were on holiday. She is incredibly responsive, kind and attentive. We received tons of photos and updates while away, which gave us a great peace of mind. I’m reluctant to give her such a stellar review as she may become too popular for future bookings. But she is really amazing with our precious little man.

Jessica is awesome! We have had her before and will continue as long as she is willing! She goes above and beyond caring not only for Winnie but also our house. I'm not sure if Winnie likes Jessica even better than us. We feel at-ease and comfortable when we are away. Thank you, Jessica!
Sonya was SUPER sweet and attentive to my pups, I get super bad anxiety leaving my babies due to past experiences but with Sonya I didnt worry at all! My dogs are a pain and try and get away with everything so I'm very glad she knew exactly how to read my dogs!
