“We are truly grateful to Lily for the loving care she gave to our little dog, Kodi. During Kodi's stay with Lily, she sent us daily pictures & videos of our pet. Clearly, he had a fantastic time with Lily & her lovely family. We really appreciated the thoughtfulness of her daily communications with us & all the care she gave to our little pet. Lily's an outstanding care taker.”
“Our dog, Bagel, enjoyed a wonderful vacation of his own with Nicole! This was his second time staying with Nicole. Bagel is pretty social so being able to play with Nicole's own dogs as well as any other boarders was just the best treat for him. Nicole's daily pictures and quick updates gave peace of mind and assured us that we made the right choice for boarding. Thank you and we will definitely be back!”
“My dog Tate stayed with Jeff for the second time recently and had a blast. Jeff is very kind and clearly an animal lover. Tate hadn’t been there since July, but it was like he had never left. Jeff sends updates and pictures often and is very quick to respond to texts. Tate and I are so happy to have such a terrific sitter.”
“Rich was an amazing and attentive caretaker. We got updates everyday with photos. Rich’s house is a dogs paradise and we felt so happy knowing our pup was well cared for and having such a great time with the other pups. 10/10!! We would definitely recommend Rich to anyone looking to have their dog taken care of while away. We had a delayed flight on our way home and Rich was super communicative and accommodating. Couldn’t be happier and will definitely be using him again in the future!”

Their home is completely pet friendly with a fenced-in backyard that Blu and Bo Jangles exhausted themselves playing. I really cannot say enough kind things about Matthew and his family.

“Bobby was great and took such good care of our boy! Being a military family, it’s hard to find good, trustworthy people to care for our pets when we’re gone but Bobby checks that box. He set up a play date for Ranger and his sweet Luna to ensure they got along prior to accepting our booking. We got lots of updates with pictures and videos throughout Ranger’s stay. We couldn’t recommend Bobby more.”
“The dogs were well cared for and seemed happy when we picked them up. Marcella was very accommodating for flexibility for drop off and pickup. Her location was an excellent match for us. She seems like a great person to have care for your pets when you need to leave them with some one.”
“I am writing to highly recommend Rosemarie as a dog sitter. She recently took care of my dog for the weekend in her home, and I could not be more pleased with the experience. From the moment I dropped off my dog, it was clear that Rosemarie is a true animal lover with a deep understanding of canine needs. She welcomed my dog with warmth and made him feel right at home. Throughout the weekend, she provided regular updates and photos, which greatly reassured me that my dog was in good hands and enjoying his stay. Rosemarie's home is clean, safe, and dog-friendly, providing plenty of space for play and relaxation. Her fenced in back yard allowed my dog plenty of time to run and play. Upon picking up my dog, he was happy and well-cared for, demonstrating that he had received excellent attention and care. Rosemarie went above and beyond in her role as a dog sitter, and I am grateful for the peace of mind she provided during my time away. I highly recommend Rosemarie to anyone in need of a responsible, caring, and professional dog sitter. Your pup will be in excellent hands with her.”
“Simba was well cared for when he was with Lucienne. She was flexible and easy to communicate with. I would recommend her to others looking for someone to board their furry friend(s).”
About: I grew up with a loved dog and spent countless joyful hours caring for, playing with and training her. In addition to growing up with a dog, I had the pleasure of intermittently watching my neighbors’ dogs for the past four years and each experience has deepened my love for our furry friends. You can trust that your pets will receive abundant love and attention while you’re away. Having navigated my own dog’s seizures, I’m well-equipped to handle any situation and comfortable administering medication if needed. I can clean up after animals in any regard and am comfortable bathing them if necessary. Your pets will be in compassionate and capable hands. Pet care is something I look forward too every day. Each day, I will dedicate specific times for walks, play and feeding, ensuring that your pets’ needs are fully met. While I work a full-time job, I am ready to accommodate my schedule during the week. I’m available for dog walking or dog sitting or cat sitting after 5 PM on Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays. On the weekends, I have even more flexibility, allowing for extended playtime and quality moments with your pets. I have no pets at home, creating a calm and comfortable environment for your pets. If it helps them feel more at ease, I can easily section off a room just for your dog or cat. I also have a long leash available, allowing for plenty of fun and exploration in a safe space. My goal is to provide a stress-free atmosphere for your pets. I’m more than happy to come to your home as well, ensuring they remain in a familiar setting that minimizes anxiety.

There is no other human being on the planet I would rather have care for my dog than jess.”
