“Thank you to Heather and her family for providing a fun family environment for my 2 boys while we were out of state on vacation. Like some other reviewers, I was a bit disappointed at the lack of communication and pictures/updates through out the dogs stay, but they came home happy and healthy and ready for a solid nap so it seems like they had a good time and were well taken care of! I appreciate Heather being flexible and willing to accommodate med administrations when my dogs had to go on some medication right before our trip. I would absolutely use Heathers services again the next time we go where the dogs can't. Thank you again 🥰”

“Christina was amazing with Minnie!!! They did so much, I can't believe it!! Minnie had an amazing "vacation" away from mom! Lots of play time, care and love!!! I 100% recommend Christina! Thank you again for an easy last minute request!!”


“Faustine took good care of our dog and we enjoyed the photo updates she was sending us! We also appreciated how quickly she responded to our messages and addressed any questions we had. We will definitely use her services again!”

“Suzanne did such a great job keeping us informed on Mabel-daily pictures and updates! She even had a doggy birthday cake for her. I highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs”

“Cienna gets so much love and attention when she visits Nataliya. She runs and play in the big yard and we feel so comfortable sending her to her house. She always sends lots of pics which makes it easier being away from our fur baby!!”


“I feel so comfortable leaving my dog with Janelle and Bob! They are so caring and loving! They have a great set up with a fenced in backyard! I know that my dog is safe and well cared for when I'm away. I would highly recommend them to care for your fur babies!”


“Lucia went above and beyond what I expected for someone looking after my dog. She is very calm and has a exceptionally clean home. I received daily pictures and updates as well. She will be only one looking after my moose for now on!”

“I recently boarded my dog with Daria for the first time, and I was a bit nervous since it was my dog's first experience staying in a stranger's house. However, Daria was amazing! She made my dog feel comfortable and at ease right away. The updates and pictures she sent showed how well my dog was adapting and enjoying the stay. Her kindness and attention to detail made all the difference. I highly recommend Daria for anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter, especially for first-timers!”

“My anxious dog loves spending the night with Kim. She’s always excited when we get there and I can leave knowing she’s happy and in good hands. So happy to have a great sitter!”

“Greta provided great care for our 11 month old puppy. She has a wonderful property for active dogs and takes them on several walks a day. She was very communicative throughout our pets stay and provided pictures and updates several times a day. We would not hesitate to use her services again. Thank you for the care.”

“We had an amazing experience with Andrea watching our dog Royce while we were away visiting family in New Jersey. From the very start, she was incredibly responsive, flexible, and easy to communicate with! She sent us daily updates and plenty of adorable photos, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Both Andrea and her husband were so kind, friendly, and welcoming. Royce clearly felt right at home with them! He was so happy and smiling in photos, and was happy when he came home! I would absolutely recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and we would love to have her watch Royce again in the future!”

“Heather was very quick to respond when I was looking for a dog sitter. She is very responsive and always kept me updated! My dog had a little upset stomach and she did give him some pumpkin puree :) I would definitely rebook with Heather and highly recommend!!”

“I highly recommend Julia and Connor! We overnight boarded our dog for 1 night with them and they were great with her! She was spoiled rotten. I got tons of updates with pictures and she played non-stop with their adorable dog, Mango! Their yard is so pretty with a large fenced in space for running around. 10/10 experience! We definitely plan to leave Millie with them again soon.”

“Susan and John took excellent care of Charlotte. They sent regular photos and kept in close contact. When Charlotte ran out of food, Susan went to the pet store to buy her new food so that she would not have to switch to something that she was not used to. Amazingly they let Charlotte up on their bed. Lots of cuddling photos. Charlotte looked happy in every one of them. I was very pleased and would highly recommend them! I am so happy to now have a dog watcher that both Charlotte and I feel confident in! Thank you Sue and John!!!”

“Our usual sitter wasn't available for the dates we needed, so I reached out to Jodie. She and her partner were so kind and welcoming to our two dogs, Walter and Gwen. They had a great time, and we were able to enjoy our family visit without any concerns. Thank you both so much!”

“My spouse and I recently had the pleasure of entrusting our two beloved dogs to Susan while we were on vacation. In the past, the thought of leaving our boys with someone else made us uneasy, which often deterred us from taking trips. However, from the moment we met Susan, her warm demeanor and obvious love for animals put us at ease. Susan is the quintessential "dog person." Her natural affinity for dogs, combined with her loving care, made us feel confident in leaving our pets in her hands. She updated us regularly, which eased our minds and allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation. We returned to find our dogs happy, well-cared-for, and clearly fond of Susan. We can't recommend Susan highly enough. Her exceptional care has finally given us the freedom to plan vacations without worrying about our furry family members. We look forward to entrusting our dogs to Susan's care in the future, knowing they are in the best of hands.”

“Bielka was great. She responded to my request quickly and was able to accommodate my pup last minute, when my usual sitter had to cancel. She took good care of my dog, and was able to handle her quirks and energy with seeming ease. When I picked up my dog, Bielka gave me a little summary of their time together and let me know how my dog did. She truly cared and loved her, and I so appreciated that. It's not always easy to find somebody who will provide that care and form a connection with your dog over a short period of time and it feels like Bielka did just that. My dog seemed totally at ease. I'm so grateful for Bielka and would 100% recommend her!”

“Charles took great care of Gus for the night. Was very responsive when I reached out. He took Gus on a nice sniffing adventure and let Gus cuddle with him all night. next time I am in the area I will definitely be reaching out again.”

“It's been 2 years since Moxie stayed with Brittanyerin. When we picked her up she was happy to see us, of course, but calm and not at all stressed. This is the only place where we'll board our dog!”
