“Debra was such a great sitter. This was our first time leaving our dog with someone and she was very caring and considerate to us and our dog. She kept us updated so we never had to wonder or worry on our trip.”
“Katia looked after our dog, Skittles for 2 weeks when we were traveling overseas. Katia sent updates and photos daily how Skittles was doing and what they did that day. Katia and her family, along with their family dog, loved our "social butterfly" pup so Skittles fit right into their home! Skittles was happy to see us but I am sure she would like to go back some time. We will definitely use Katia again.”
“Lisa was amazing with my 2 year old bouvier, Molly. I was sent pictures of her walking, resting, investigating Lisa's home and yard. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again if needed. It was Molly's first time away from family and she had never met Lisa before. I was nervous that Molly might cause problems, but she was very comfortable with Lisa. Thank you for such great care.”
“Dale is an amazing, responsible, heartfelt “animal lover”. I am so thankful that I found her because I will certainly use her again in the future. She looked after two of my dogs, a large “mastiff x american bulldog” and her tiny companion “chihuahua x min. pinscher” with no issues at all. Dale has a calm, easy going disposition that any animal would feel completely comfortable around. For first timers, she likes to meet the pets in advance, which is fantastic (especially for dogs) and you’ll know from that first meeting you’ll be in good hands with no worry at all. I received daily texts, photos and updates on the dogs, how they were adjusting, eating and sleeping. Her and her husband were very flexible with the dogs routines, ensuring that their overall needs for comfort and mental health were met - because all dogs become a little stressed when they’re left by their owners for a week or two. After the first two days, both dogs were like putty in her hands. Dale has a great connection with animals and has the foresight to read between the lines on meeting their personal needs. She is a keeper in my books, and anyone who is able to book her, you are in VERY good hands!”
“Adi and his wonderful wife are absolutely lovely and wonderful with my GSD Archer. He loves being there and is treated like family. I continually receive updates and videos which give me peace of mind. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and loving place to board your pup.”
“Carlayne took care of our girl for a week. We felt very comfortable leaving her with Carlayne. She gave us regular updates and photos while we were away. Our girl looked happy, she was cuddled lots taken for lots of walks . We felt like she was treated like she was at home. We will definitely use Carlyne again. Thx”
“Amanda was super friendly and our pups seemed super happy after staying with her for a few days. She sent us photos of our dogs while being away which was super nice considering we were uneasy about leaving them with someone random!”
“Ruby had a fantastic stay with Danielle over the weekend; she didn’t even want to leave when we got there to pick her up! Danielle took amazing care of Ruby and instantly made her feel right at home. She gave her lots of attention and affection and lots of photo updates. She truly is the dachshund whisperer! I would definitely recommend her for dogs with separation anxiety. We’re very grateful she was available!”
“Julianne was great for boarding out medium-large golden doodle for a couple of nights. She communicated with photos and texts to let us know how it was going and what they were up to. Julianne followed our feeding instructions to the letter.”
“What an amazing experience with Vidya! Took such great care of our pup. Sent us picture and video updates of our boy the entire time we were away. Would highly recomend!”
“I left my cat Furio with Natalia while I was away on vacation — and it was absolutely wonderful. From the very first day, I could see how comfortable and happy he was: eating well, playing, relaxed, and not afraid at all. Natalia sent me daily photos and videos, showing how he was doing, and that meant the world to me. It was clear that she treated Furio with genuine love and care, as if he were her own. I was able to enjoy my time away without worry, knowing he was in safe and caring hands. Natalia has a big heart and a true gift when it comes to animals. I'm so grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and responsible pet sitter. 💛”
“Ellie just love’s going to Sharon’s house and it’s such a nice social place for her to be that I am looking for excuses to take her back more often! I highly recommend her!”
“Geo and Amanda are absolute gems of dog sitters. They took in both of my dogs just as their own and updated me thoroughly throughout each day. Their home was so beautiful and such a comfy safe space for my dogs to run and rest. They were absolutely so kind and made me feel so at peace knowing my babies were in safe hands!”
“Polo always comes back happy and gets a good brushing too. Karyn is always very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Highly recommend Karyn for your peace of mind while away from your furry family members.”
“Theresa and her family were incredibly accommodating, welcoming, and showered our little Honey with so much love! We are truly grateful for the care they provided and will definitely have her watch Honey again in the future :)”
“Great job! My dog is a larger breed and felt very comfortable leaving him with Mike. My dog clearly enjoyed his time with Mike and he was even allowed to sleep on the couch”
About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life. They aren't just pets though, they are part of the family! We currently have a 2 year old black lab/boxer. I always want the best for my dog and I know you do too! I am currently retired and home all day every day! Your dogs will never be alone. In fact, I love taking them for walks through the forest and playing with them in the backyard! My dog has the run of the house and is allowed everywhere in the house and the backyard is entirely fenced in. They are allowed to go in and out on their own as much as they want to!
“Melanie was wonderful. We did a meet and greet before taking care of Mikey. Melanie is very warm and friendly and Mikey had a great day with her. She sent videos and pics of their time together. Mikey is a senior so he's pretty laid back and quiet, but he was quite happy to have Melanie here for company and getting outside. He was great when I got home as well. I would highly recommend Melanie. Hopefully we can use her services again soon. Thank you”

“Debra was amazing with my kitten! It was my kittens first time alone and Debra made sure he didn’t escape outside, made sure he was fed and had water, scooped his litter, and gave him some very needed company and play time! Debra is incredibly attentive and communicative, I will absolutely have her come next time I need a pet sitter!”
About: I absolutely adore cats. I had a beautiful girl named peekaboo that you will see within my photos. I have also watched over and cared for many other cats as well. Since my home is mostly for doggie daycare & boarding services,I offer Mostly drop-in visits or house sitting for feline care, to ensure the comfort and safety of all of my guests.
“Kendra went above and beyond to make sure our very attached kitty was well taken care of and felt loved while we were on vacation. 100% recommend her and we will definitely be booking her again!”
“Ann is absolutely amazing! I truly feel like she cares for my furbabies as if they were her own. She sends fabulous updates, videos and photos that really show how much she cares. I would highly recommend booking Ann!”
“Maria was wonderful. Very kind, understanding, and helpful. She was great with my cats and was easy to communicate with. She was able to administer oral medication to my cat Kovu. Thank you Maria for your reliable help!”
“Jenny was amazing!! She’s a great communicator and cares a lot about animals. I’m so glad she was able to care for my two cats! I came home and they were very happy and relaxed. Thanks Jenny!!”
“Karyn came through for us last minute when our plans changed. Our little dogs can be a handful. Karyn looked after our babies and I think that they looked forward to seeing her every day. Would recommend and will call again if the need arises.”
About: I am a life long animal lover and advocate. My passion for caring for animals began as a teenager, when I started pet sitting for family and friends and volunteering at the local Humane Society. Having had pets my entire life I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust. I am comfortable with large and small experience with large breeds Whether it's daily walks, overnight stays, or simply keeping your pets company, I always strive to make them feel safe, loved, and right at home. After taking an early retirement from my career as a Developmental Support worker teaching and advocating for children and adults with special needs, I'm now able to dedicate full time my passion for caring for animals. My yard is fully fenced and I have a clean, calm and relaxed, safe home and backyard to help your pet feel calm and relaxed. Having worked for many years as a Developmental Support Worker I understand patience and compassion. Whether your pet enjoys active play, long walks or quiet companionship I'll make sure they get the care and attention they need.
About: I have always had a cat in the house and now that I’m away for school I would love to take care of someone else’s. Waking up to a fuzzy friend has always been a part of my daily routine. Pets are my life and I would love to make your pet a part of mine. I have experience overnight cat sitting for many family friends and my apartment is safe and cat friendly.
About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have always had a deep love and appreciation for animals. Growing up, I had the joy of caring for Shelties, Golden Retrievers, and Papillons, each teaching me the importance of patience, companionship, and understanding every dog’s unique personality. I currently have a Golden Retriever puppy who is very loved, well-socialized, and has the sweetest, most gentle personality. He is extremely well-behaved and will be starting puppy school in July to continue building his training and manners. My partner is also home and able to help care for him, ensuring every pet receives plenty of attention, supervision, and love. If your pup stays with me, they will be welcomed into a safe, caring, and dog-loving home. I want to be transparent that my puppy may be present during stays, but I always prioritize the comfort and needs of your pet. For walks, your dog will receive one-on-one attention — I will take your pup on their own walk rather than walking multiple dogs together. For drop-ins or visits, my focus will be on giving your pet personalized care, affection, and making sure they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. Your pet will be treated like family here 🐾 I am a teacher and will be off during the months of July and August, which means I have a very flexible schedule and am available for pet care whenever needed. I have plenty of time to provide walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Starting in September, my availability will depend on whether I accept a teaching position (LTO), but I will always have availability in the evenings and on weekends. I am committed to providing reliable and consistent care and will communicate clearly with each pet parent to make sure your pet’s needs are met. Creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet is my top priority.

In my home, pets are welcomed into a calm, clean, and dog-loving environment where they receive lots of attention, affection, playtime, and supervision. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I will always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable. My Golden Retriever puppy may be present in my home, but he is extremely friendly, well-behaved, and continuing his training. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their space and routines while providing dependable care, companionship, walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love. I know pets feel most comfortable with familiarity, so I aim to keep their normal schedule and environment as consistent as possible. I will always communicate with pet parents, provide updates, and make sure you feel confident knowing your furry family member is safe and cared for while you’re away. 🐾

“Our dog Rocco had the time of his life hanging out with Lisa and Andrew. He had two back to back day care stays. Returning for day two he leaped from our car and tugged me towards Lisa’s door and couldn’t wait for her to answer the door bell. A very good sign he was looking forward to all the love and play time he had with them. Also great communication and sweet pics! 100 percent —high recommendation.”

“Laura and her wonderful family are truly one of a kind! From the moment Cooper stayed with them, I knew he was in the best hands. Laura, her husband, and their two sweet toddlers welcomed him like part of the family and treated him with so much love and care. Cooper came home happy, relaxed, and clearly adored. It’s obvious how much attention and affection they give, and it meant the world to know he was safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved while we were away. I can’t recommend Laura highly enough; she and her family are the absolute sweetest, and we feel so lucky to have found them! 🐾💛”
“Melanie has been a wonderful dog sitter for my miniature pinscher mix Lulu! Lulu went on a regular basis for doggy daycare in the fall of 2025 and early 2026 before we moved away. Melanie was always responsive, caring and provided regular updates with photos and video after every daycare session. Lulu is going to miss going to Melanie’s house and playing with her friend Finn. Thank you Melanie!”
“Susan looked after our miniature dachshund Ruby last minute for several hours while my husband and I went to a birthday party, and she did an amazing job making Ruby feel safe and comfortable. Ruby had a great time and she was all smiles and tail wags when we picked her up. Susan has a lovely home and I think Ruby really enjoyed herself there. I would highly recommend her services :)”

About: I am a reliable, patient pet sitter providing loving, personalized in-home care, dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and routine, treating every pet with kindness, patience, respect, and plenty of affection. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a kindergarten educator, I’m available for morning visits before work, evenings, weekends, holidays, and overnight stays during the school year. During the summer, I have much greater flexibility and am available throughout the day, allowing me to accommodate a wider range of schedules and your pet’s routine. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, and loving care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I believe pets are happiest in the comfort of their own home, where they can maintain their familiar routine and surroundings. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, needs, and preferences so I can provide calm, personalized care tailored to them. Before any booking, I offer a free Meet & Greet so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet’s routine, and ensure we’re the right fit for one another. I also ask all pet parents to complete a detailed intake form, which helps me learn about your pet’s routine, medical needs, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide the best care possible. For dog walking clients, I also like to do a short practice walk so your dog can get comfortable with me before our first scheduled walk. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, trustworthy hands.

“Debra was such a great sitter. This was our first time leaving our dog with someone and she was very caring and considerate to us and our dog. She kept us updated so we never had to wonder or worry on our trip.”
“Lisa was amazing with my 2 year old bouvier, Molly. I was sent pictures of her walking, resting, investigating Lisa's home and yard. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again if needed. It was Molly's first time away from family and she had never met Lisa before. I was nervous that Molly might cause problems, but she was very comfortable with Lisa. Thank you for such great care.”
“Dale is an amazing, responsible, heartfelt “animal lover”. I am so thankful that I found her because I will certainly use her again in the future. She looked after two of my dogs, a large “mastiff x american bulldog” and her tiny companion “chihuahua x min. pinscher” with no issues at all. Dale has a calm, easy going disposition that any animal would feel completely comfortable around. For first timers, she likes to meet the pets in advance, which is fantastic (especially for dogs) and you’ll know from that first meeting you’ll be in good hands with no worry at all. I received daily texts, photos and updates on the dogs, how they were adjusting, eating and sleeping. Her and her husband were very flexible with the dogs routines, ensuring that their overall needs for comfort and mental health were met - because all dogs become a little stressed when they’re left by their owners for a week or two. After the first two days, both dogs were like putty in her hands. Dale has a great connection with animals and has the foresight to read between the lines on meeting their personal needs. She is a keeper in my books, and anyone who is able to book her, you are in VERY good hands!”
“Adi and his wonderful wife are absolutely lovely and wonderful with my GSD Archer. He loves being there and is treated like family. I continually receive updates and videos which give me peace of mind. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and loving place to board your pup.”
“Carlayne took care of our girl for a week. We felt very comfortable leaving her with Carlayne. She gave us regular updates and photos while we were away. Our girl looked happy, she was cuddled lots taken for lots of walks . We felt like she was treated like she was at home. We will definitely use Carlyne again. Thx”
“Amanda was super friendly and our pups seemed super happy after staying with her for a few days. She sent us photos of our dogs while being away which was super nice considering we were uneasy about leaving them with someone random!”
“Ruby had a fantastic stay with Danielle over the weekend; she didn’t even want to leave when we got there to pick her up! Danielle took amazing care of Ruby and instantly made her feel right at home. She gave her lots of attention and affection and lots of photo updates. She truly is the dachshund whisperer! I would definitely recommend her for dogs with separation anxiety. We’re very grateful she was available!”
“Julianne was great for boarding out medium-large golden doodle for a couple of nights. She communicated with photos and texts to let us know how it was going and what they were up to. Julianne followed our feeding instructions to the letter.”
“What an amazing experience with Vidya! Took such great care of our pup. Sent us picture and video updates of our boy the entire time we were away. Would highly recomend!”
“Ellie just love’s going to Sharon’s house and it’s such a nice social place for her to be that I am looking for excuses to take her back more often! I highly recommend her!”
“Geo and Amanda are absolute gems of dog sitters. They took in both of my dogs just as their own and updated me thoroughly throughout each day. Their home was so beautiful and such a comfy safe space for my dogs to run and rest. They were absolutely so kind and made me feel so at peace knowing my babies were in safe hands!”
“Polo always comes back happy and gets a good brushing too. Karyn is always very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Highly recommend Karyn for your peace of mind while away from your furry family members.”
“Theresa and her family were incredibly accommodating, welcoming, and showered our little Honey with so much love! We are truly grateful for the care they provided and will definitely have her watch Honey again in the future :)”
“Great job! My dog is a larger breed and felt very comfortable leaving him with Mike. My dog clearly enjoyed his time with Mike and he was even allowed to sleep on the couch”
About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life. They aren't just pets though, they are part of the family! We currently have a 2 year old black lab/boxer. I always want the best for my dog and I know you do too! I am currently retired and home all day every day! Your dogs will never be alone. In fact, I love taking them for walks through the forest and playing with them in the backyard! My dog has the run of the house and is allowed everywhere in the house and the backyard is entirely fenced in. They are allowed to go in and out on their own as much as they want to!
“Melanie was wonderful. We did a meet and greet before taking care of Mikey. Melanie is very warm and friendly and Mikey had a great day with her. She sent videos and pics of their time together. Mikey is a senior so he's pretty laid back and quiet, but he was quite happy to have Melanie here for company and getting outside. He was great when I got home as well. I would highly recommend Melanie. Hopefully we can use her services again soon. Thank you”
“Liz is excellent service provider. We used her service first time, no complaints at all. She fed our dog on time shared tons of photos with us of him playing eating and sleeping every day. I highly recommend her.”
“If you need a pet sitter who will actually spoil your dog with love, Hanna is the one! They watched my baby for two days and provided the highest level of care. You can tell they aren't just doing this as a job -they genuinely love dogs. My pup was well-exercised, loved on, and perfectly cared for. So thankful I found them!”
“Kim was great! Scout absolutely loved her. She is a true dog lover and gives nothing but a positive experience for pups. Scout was a little nervous around other dogs and Kim helped her out tremendously. So thankful to have found her. Scout will definitely be returning ♥️🐾”
