Maria and Gregory were amazing! They took great care of our Labradoodle Daisy over a long weekend and treated her like Family. Maria and Greg provided updates every day to keep us up to date, and Daisy really seemed to like them evident by her good mood when we picked her up. Thank you Maria and Gregory!

Kelly did an absolute above & beyond job with our dog!! Extremely sweet, responsive, and flexible! She sent us multiple photos every day that clearly showed how much love and care he was getting in her home. She was also flexible when we needed to change our pickup and dropoff times! Highly highly recommend Kelly!!!

Donna was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of FiFi and kept me updated the whole time, which gave me real peace of mind. You can tell she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. FiFi came home happy, calm, and well cared for. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter — highly recommend Donna to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable, and caring!

Asta was amazing with my dog! I was looking for someone who could care for Sally while I visited home for the holidays, and she was available and happy to help. They went out for walks together, hung out inside, and socialized with Asta's extremely chill dog. She sent photos and videos to update me on what they were up to each day, and I could always reach her while I was on my trip. I'll definitely have Sally stay over again!

Cristine was truly amazing and the best sitter we’ve ever had! From our meet and greet, her experience and passion for animals were clear right away. She is incredibly compassionate, deeply dog-loving, and extremely careful and safe (our top priority). During our flight chaos, she was the sweetest, modified, and welcomed Augie with genuine excitement, asked all the right questions, and treated him like her own (even brushing him; he came back smelling great!). We felt completely at ease the entire time. Doggies truly deserve her care, and we’ll request her every time we travel 🥹if she’s not fully booked by then from this very well deserved review! 🐾💛 Thank so much Christine! 🐶

About: "Think of me as the fun uncle who also happens to be a stickler for safety. My two dogs and I are ready to welcome your pup into our pack for playdates, long naps, and all the fetch they can handle!" Being my own boss means I can pause for a game of fetch or a quick snuggle whenever your dog gives me "the look." My schedule revolves around their tail wags. My home includes five acres to go for a quick walk or play endless dog games, yet I love to take dogs to the beach, or on hikes around the area.

Bridget was absolutely wonderful with my anxious little dog, Augie!! I had never left him overnight before and both Augie and myself were nervous, but Bridget assured me that she was kind, patient, and a true dog lover! I could tell by all of the great photos that she sent that Augie was not only fine, more than comfortable and having fun! He walked and socialized with Bridget’s dog Finley and was even calm and curious when meeting her cats! I can’t more highly recommend Bridget, and I will absolutely have Augie stay with her again!

Tanya was informative and sent me pics of my 5 year old dog throughout her stay. She was comfortable and well cared for. I enjoyed the quick response and sponsor as I had to find a dogsitter quick as my hotel didn’t accept dogs and Tanya was very quick with responding to all of my needs for my pet. I would definitely recommend her services. Thank you!

About: I have the utmost respect for life in all forms. Years experience volunteering in wildlife rehabilitation and fostering animals. Grew up training dogs and target training chickens and fish. I have my own senior dog, so I am well versed in senior dog care. I have a gift for observation and notice the little things and differences in behavior and health. Always excited to care for new furry friends :) I work from home and care for my senior dog. The animals I choose to care for are my priority, daily/weekly routine can fluctuate due to the specific needs of each pet. I have a fenced yard with lots of sun that when possible I sit and soak the heat in with my fur baby. Plenty of sun indoors too for those that enjoy to sunbathe. I keep a good schedule and routine to keep consistency and trust. Walks and stimulation to keep anxiety down, and dedicated one on one time playing games or doing tricks to build a confident relationship with me and your pet.

Carol was an incredible sitter during our trip! We felt so fortunate to leave our beloved and somewhat spoiled mini golden doodle, Augie, in the hands of both Annabelle and Carol. Their warmth and genuine care made all the difference for him. Augie was so happy and well-fed during his stay, which is quite an achievement given his picky eating habits! We would absolutely choose Carol again if given the chance. She was incredibly responsible with our precious pup and even accommodated us by allowing a late pickup. Thank you, Carol, for providing such a loving space for our furry Baby!

About: I grow up with animals since I born. As a trainer, my close circle always trusts me to take care their pets. I am an influencer (400K followers, you can check how legit and trustworthy I am, cuz I am partnering with worldwide companies & showing my peaceful daily life), so I am creating my own schedule. Animals are my true passion & they all are my babies to me! I love them all so I choose to be a professional pet sitter. I have extensive experience with animals. For their separation anxiety I prefer to watch them in their own environment. Since I was a teenager, I was helping street dogs & cats to found homes. I took classes, and I learned how to take care animals. I learned about proper diet, housing, and medical care for variety of animals. I do have lot of experience with other animals as well as dogs & cats. I am super familiar with bunnies, turtles, chickens, cows, goats, sheeps, ducks, birds especially since I am a kid, I spent my holidays at my father’s farms. Your pets will stay happily entertained to have the best Pawsome VIP Vacation! We will have so much fun together with your dearies! I want to make sure you will be so happy and at peace leaving your pup with me; with their new best friend! I welcome meet & greets at parks, but they are not required. I can do long walks, plays, and every other needings for our dearest animals! I guarantee it will be a Dog Gone GOOD Time! I am home and at parks all of the time with All My Dearie Guest Paws and I love it! This is my full time job, and my day centers around their care, safety, health, entertainment, and much happiness in the most hygienic PawsInn! I am a full time pet sitter & that is the only way how I can see possible to do pet sitting job proper. I can fully supervise “kids” and make sure they all good and happy ;) Kindly give a bath to your most lovely puppies before giving them to me pretty please. Otherwise I need to give bath & grooming for my dearie guest paws. I will charge it. I have a fenced front yard, backyard at PawsInn, so l am supervising dearly puppies all the time, even when they are having fun at my garden. We shall do long walks, plays at the safest neighborhood parks, and fenced football fields constantly. My favorite park is next to my home, and it is our favorite because I can safely let few puppies run there leash free since this park all fenced up.

Maria and Gregory were amazing! Harley gets overexcited when first arriving and can be off-putting but they took it in stride and I was thrilled to see a sweet picture of her curled up by Gregory within 15 minutes of my departure from their home. They have a lovely home with a great yard to explore and they were careful to put a cover over the gate area that had larger spacing where Harley might slip out. She enjoyed her stay immensely. I received pictures throughout her stay of her snuggling with family, walking with their pup Ruby and overall having a wonderful doggie vacay while I enjoyed my trip. They are such a sweet family and very loving. Great communication and all around fabulous people!
