“We couldn’t be happier with our experience having Erika watch our dog, Gotham, for the week! She took amazing care of him and treated our furbaby like her own. Erika stayed in touch the entire time, sending pictures and updates that gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Gotham was happy, comfortable, and well-loved. We highly recommend Erika to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! 🐾❤️”

“Lucienne did a wonderful job watching our dog Cooper over a long weekend. She sent updates and photos throughout the weekend. Cooper came back happy and we would definitely recommend and use Lucienne again.”

“I had a last minute request and Jomini responded almost immediately and saved the day. She asked questions to make sure my dog had the proper precautions to be outdoors at her place and checked with me about any specific schedule before drop off. She was super responsive and flexible with timing for drop off / pick up. She sent so many pictures of my dog and I could see he was having a great time!”

“There aren’t enough nice things to say about Rosemarie. She goes above and beyond for your baby and treats them as if they’re her own. I just came back from a week long vacation & leaving my pup with Rosemarie allowed me to relax knowing she’s in the BEST hands. Rosemarie sent me pictures every day and it was amazing to see my girl making herself right at home. Rosemarie has the biggest heart - an amazing human I recommend her a million times. If you’re looking for a home away from home for your puppy, look no further. Luna was safe, loved, & had an amazing time. If there were more people like Rosemarie this world would be a better place for sure!”

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.
“So happy to have found Annette. She is such sweet, animal loving person. Our little Pomchi, Keiki, had a fun time with her and her dogs. Thanks so much Annette. Will definitely come again! ❤️”

“Daisy lived her overnight stay with Saori. She came home happy and super relaxed. I loved getting photo updates throughout her stay. I knew Daisy was in good hands and it helped make my trip so much more enjoyable knowing she was safe and well cared for. I’ll be booking again soon.”

“Katharine was great!! Our 2 girls were so happy with her. We received regular updates on how we were doing and what they were up to. Definitely looking forward to our next booking with her.”

“Dew was fantastic! Her communication was great, she made sure my dog was comfortable and settled in. She sent status updates throughout his stay. He came home unstressed and in a great mood all happy and healthy. I would highly recomend her to anyone looking for dog care!”

“Ryan went above and beyond was expected. I got update pics and even a call just letting me know my pup was doing great. Maverick received dinner and breakfast exactly as instructed. He even got to visit the dog park (and yes I was ask before of that would be okay to do). Would highly recommend.”
“Jeff was great!! His setup he has for the dogs is top notch, super impressive. Jeff sent pics and updates throughout the day the whole time my pups were with him. My pups had a blast playing with his pup as well. Will definitely book again. Thanks Jeff!!”
“We appreciated Kyle’s flexibility and patience with our pup, she is not accustomed to being away from us. The updates and photos were great, it was comforting to know she was doing well while we were away.”

“Rachael was helpful, communicative, trustworthy and responsive - she made the process a breeze and took great care of our dog. Everyday I was sent photos of her running, playing, exploring and having fun. Pepper even came back with sharpened training — I will be booking again and again!”

“Rich was a lifesaver! We needed last-minute help watching Honey, and he responded quickly and made sure we got to do a meet-and-greet. He’s got a great doggy daycare/boarding going from his house with plenty of room in the backyard for the pups to have fun! Rich was a gem in being around all the time for the dogs, being available, and sharing updates. I recommend Rich and his services, even if you are looking more for doggy day care- he is where it’s at!”

“Lily took wonderful care of my dog Pippa! It was my first time working with her and I will definitely use her again. Pippa is a very playful dog and Lily kept her entertained and engaged the whole time. I think Pippa was very bummed to come back home and leave her new friends. Thanks Lily!!”

“Nicole and her family did a great job taking care of my pup. She sent photos and updates regularly, and my dog looked like he had a blast. He was very happy and tired after pickup 🐶”

“Natasha made us so at ease when watching our girl while we got married! She sent daily updates with pictures, and Scout came back like she was on vacation!”

Erika is absolutely amazing with our dog, Gotham! She is incredibly responsive, reliable, and truly caring. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing Gotham is in such loving and attentive hands. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and it shows in everything she does. We feel so lucky to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter!

Our elderly black lab Sadie received very good care while staying at Marie’s home. Marie sent me several photos of Sadie enjoying herself in her large, fenced in back yard. I can tell Marie is a very kind person who loves animals, as is her husband. I would definitely feel comfortable leaving Sadie in her care again.
Our dogs had the best time! The fenced in yard is secure and gave them a great area to run around and play in. Jen sent a lot of pictures and updates and made us feel really comfortable while our dogs stayed with them. Looking forward to having them watch our dogs again!!
