“Bradley was amazing with Chinook and Apache! They had a great time during their stay—Bradley kept me updated with plenty of pictures, and the boys looked so happy when I picked them up. Now they’re both passed out asleep at home, which tells me they had a fun and active time! I’ll definitely be booking with Bradley again. Highly recommend!”
“Best Dog sitter you could ask for! I was very nervous to use this app and Scotty is a dream sitter. Milo stayed for 12days while I traveled out the country and he was the happiest he’s ever been while away from me. I received consistent updates on how he was doing during his stay, pictures and my needs /questions were addressed in a timely manner. Milo received the care I asked for plus beyond that. He absolutely will be returning !”

We recommend Jane highly for your pooches dog sitting needs!”

About: I have lived and taken care of my little man for the last 16 years. I have always loved dogs no matter the breed or size. I have dog sat for a couple of folks before and understand how important it is to make sure you dog is with the right person. I work 5 days out of the week but virtually for two days. I am available before and after work and on the weekends.I know my pup loves his routines, so if yours is the same, I can always accommodate to their needs/wants. As a person who’s number one most important thing is psychological and physical safety, I know that dogs need this too. I have soft blankets and furniture. I also know sometimes dogs just need to be alone in a room and I have space in my home for that as well. I also think nice long walks can really help a dog’s mental health. For most dogs, a walk is the best part of the day. I take my pup on the bike path or in Ault park so he can explore and “feel free” in nature. I just really love dogs and all animals and believe I can make your animal feel safe while their best friend is away. Aside note: While I do have a furry friend in my home, I would want to make sure both pups would truly be okay with having each other around. If it does not work out, Buddy can stay the night at grandma’s so our furry friends to feel safe and comfortable in their spaces.
“Donna and her familly were absolutely amazing!!!! My sweet boy had an absolute blast hanging out at their home for the holiday weekend. I don’t leave him much so I get a lot of anxiety about leaving him and Donna really comforted and reassured me throughout the entire process and fully allowed me to enjoy my trip. My boy is very high energy and can be a lot to handle but they did it with ease. He has been knocked out since I picked him up because he wore himself out having so much fun with them this weekend. Donna I can not thank you enough, we are so appreciative!”
“Amir took great care of our dog over the weekend! He was knowledgeable and thoughtful regarding the needs of our dog and made sure that he had the best care and experience. I would definitely recommend Amir to any other pet owners to care for their pets!”

Grace (Mary) did an amazing job watching our dog over the weekend. She provided updates multiple times a day and took great pictures that let us know our dog was happy and having a great time. She was very responsive, took lots of walks, and overall took great care of our dog! Will definitely use Grace again next time we are out of town. Couldn’t recommend Grace enough.
When our German Shepherd walks through Wendy’s door he totally forgets we exist. It makes dropping him off so much easier knowing he is having a blast and not missing us at all while we are gone! As always, Wendy took great care of our boy and sends the best pictures and videos.
Courtney is amazing and so are her furry babies. Mimosa has only been there once but we already have many many more visits planned. Courtney works around odd schedules, is quick with communication, and she clearly knows what she’s doing with the pup because mimosa came home so happy and tired. Can’t recommend her enough!
Leaving Sky for seven days was made so much easier, thanks to Brady. As soon as Sky saw Apache and Chinook, she started singing her husky version of “awoo” (husky howls). Brady was diligent with updates, sending us photos and messages that showed Sky was happy, well exercised and clearly enjoying her time. Coming home to a happy and healthy dog is all we could ask for. We will definitely book him again! Highly recommended!
