“Andrea was amazing! We have a senior dog who can be difficult with new people and her deteriorating eyesight and hearing can make leaving her with a new person very stressful for us and her. Andrea had a very gentle and calm approach with our dog which allowed her space to feel comfortable. Her updates gave us peace of mind and when we picked her up she seemed at home in her house. It was so comforting for us to know Riley was well taken care of. We would highly recommend Andrea as she clearly has a great energy and connection with dogs putting them at ease.”

“Both Finn and I feel very fortunate to have found Kevin and Kayla. Finn instantly took to them and that is not usual for him. He thinks they're great and I concur!”

“Kelsey was wonderful overall! She gave daily updates, took my dog on walks, and was very flexible and easy to work with and clearly someone who truly loves animals. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. Highly recommend! I would absolutely book with her again.”

“Rachel is absolutely amazing! She took care of our dogs in her home for an entire week while we were out of the country, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we dropped them off, we knew they were in excellent hands. Rachel kept us updated daily with messages and photos, showing how much fun the dogs were having and how well they were being cared for. It was clear they felt right at home, and Rachel treated them like part of her own family. We’re so grateful for Rachel’s exceptional care and attention to detail. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter. She truly went above and beyond!”

I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit dog walks in throughout the day. I’m typically available on weekdays, with some evening and weekend availability as well.

“Michelle was absolutely wonderful with my high-energy working dog! She was communicative, send awesome pictures throughout the stay, and was just wonderful in general. Thank you Michelle!”

“Kim and her family took such amazing care of Parker while we were away for a couple of days. From the moment he arrived, they treated him like one of their own. He was included in family activities, enjoyed lots of walks, attended the kids' soccer games, and was showered with attention, treats, and plenty of belly rubs. It was clear from the photos and updates Kim sent that Parker was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. Knowing he was being so well cared for gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We are incredibly grateful for the love and kindness shown to Parker and would highly recommend Kim and her family to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and welcoming home for their furry family member. Parker can't wait for his next visit!”

“Jason took so well care of our little 15 year old dog. First time we left our dog for eight days, and he had a great time. Which we could see on all the pictures Jason shared with us. Would highly recommend Jason services.”

“Michaela and Ben did a wonderful job taking care of Blue. They were very communicative and also sent lots of pictures and updates while we were away so I was never worried. When I came to pick him up he seemed very relaxed and happy. I would definitely recommend them to others who are looking for a sitter.”
“Stine took great care of our Fergus, sending lots and lots of photos and updates and taking him on lots of hikes. He was so happy to be there for the 5 days we left him and got to play non-stop with her dog Brodie. Her and her husband Walt obvious took care of Fergus as if he was their own. They were also very accommodating when our flight got re-routed and we arrived a couple of hours late. We would definitely book again with Stine without hesitation”

“Amazing! Highly recommended, was in a pinch for safe boarding for my Dane and after four days Hendrix came home and slinked upstairs to our bed to pass out for 5hrs. Will be making this our primary for additional care. Highly recommended!!”


“I wasn't there for the stay, but my dog gave Bianca 5/5 stars. Really felt confident and at ease leaving my pup with her. She was very flexible, and communication was on point. Her daily updates were awesome. I will be thinking about her whenever I need a sitter again!”

“We left our little boy with them for a couple of days, and they did an excellent job. He made a new friend with their dog, looked really happy when we picked him up, and we had good communication throughout. Thank you so much”

Suzanne took such wonderful care of our dog, Morphy, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She is incredibly kind, responsible, and clearly loves animals. From the moment we met her, we felt comfortable and confident leaving Morphy in her care. Morphy was happy, relaxed, and very well cared for during his stay. Suzanne kept us updated and made sure he received lots of attention, care, and affection.

We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Blondie while we were on vacation. The communication was really good from the very beginning. They kept us updated and send photos. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and being genuinely cared for. We truly appreciated the extra effort and love shown during our time away. We would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We will definitely be booking again!

This was the best decision I have made. Courtney and Ben welcomed Enzo into their home and truly gave him the most amazing g experience. I am very thankful I came across their profile and I hope that Enzo will get to have many more stays with them in the future ! Thank you !!!!
