This is my second time booking with Gwen. Each time was a phenomenal experience. Gwen was extremely thoughtful, provided frequent updates, and several pictures of my pup's vacation. Always appreciated, thank you!

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and other pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a Yorkshire Terrier, a Mini Goldendoodle, and a ferret, so caring for animals is part of my daily life. I have experience with basic training, administering medications, and understanding each pet’s unique needs. I personally trained my dog to become a service animal, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to build trust with animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I make sure each pet receives plenty of attention and care. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s routine and will do my best to keep them comfortable and happy while you’re away. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, walks, and daily routines to help pets feel secure and stress-free. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs while providing plenty of affection, exercise, and companionship. I respect both the pet’s environment and the owner’s home, ensuring everything is kept clean, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to provide reliable care and peace of mind while you’re away.

Last minute cancellation meant I needed someone for my dog Zeus right before Thanksgiving. They were both very responsive and flexible doing a meet and greet with one of their dogs & checking out the property. Zeus was exhausted when I picked him up so he definitely had a lot of activity, he had a great time. Thanks again, would recommend.

I left my puppy with Aleja for 4 nights. She sent me photos of him and also updated me about his schedules. I could tell that he was well taken care of when I picked him up. Will definitely leave buddy with her in the future.

Highly, highly, highly recommend Joan! From the moment I dropped off my cat I was completely at ease because he immediately made himself comfortable, which he typically doesn’t do. Joan was great, and sent a lot of pictures and made me feel secured with leaving my baby with her! Thank you so much, Joan, and again I highly recommend booking with Joan!!

Gisselle and her family are the perfect family for our dogs to stay with while away from home!! They are loving, patient, attentive and absolutely spoiled our two Shetland Sheepdogs!! Gisselle sent photos as well as updates throughout the days we were away. The images showed my two pups comfortable, happy and having a blast playing the day away!! I could not be more grateful for her care in every way. Gisselle is my “go to family” now for all our dog care needs. She is the absolute best!!

About: I have had a dog since I was a kid. When I got married , we adopted our first dog Sonny from a rescue. Shortly after that we took one of the puppies from my sister in laws litter, Bandit. They both brought such love and happiness into our family and were devastated when we lost them both. Looking for a job where I could give my love to other’s animals. I currently am unemployed, but looking to be a full time dog sitter/ dog walker. I am a stay at home mom, hoping to bring some extra income to my household. My typical day starts at 7:30 with school drop off for my son and drop off at 8:40 for my daughter. With pick ups between 2-3:30. Once school ends my hours become more available.

It was amazing to leave my dog with Michelle during my vacation. She was sending me pictures for him every day and really that made me more relaxed to see my dog playing and having fun with new friends. When I got him he was very relaxed and calm, like he was at home. Thanks Michelle and for sure Tate will be back soon to have fun with you and with new friends.

About: I provide a calm caring and reliable experience for dogs of all ages. I have hands-on experience working with energetic puppies helping with basic training routines and plenty of playtime as well as older dogs who need a gentler pace, patience, and attentive care. Whether it is keeping up with a playful pup or supporting a senior dogs comfort and mobility I focus on creating a safe stress-free environment where every dog feels understood and well cared for. Pet care fits well into my routine because I'm a stay at home mom with a flexible schedule. Morning walks and feedings can happen alongside getting the kids ready, while midday visits offer a natural break and a chance to reset. Puppies bring energy and short training moments, while older dogs fit well into calmer, more relaxed periods. Overall, it blends easily into my daily home life without needing a separate schedule. I enjoy going on walks, going on hikes, and engaging in fun playtime with pets. I am comfortable handling feeding and daily care to keep your pets happy and well looked after. I will care for your pets with the same love and attention I give my own.

If I could leave 6 stars, I would! This was our first time using Meghan and she was amazing. We planned to have her watch our dog from Wednesday to Monday for a long weekend getaway, and then a snowstorm canceled our flight and we ended up being stuck away for 4 extra days. Meghan was so helpful and offered to go buy extra food for our pup since we had only packed him the amount he originally needed, and made us feel so comfortable leaving him there for what turned out to be such a long time. She sent lots of pictures and updates and I could tell my dog was having SUCH a good time. Usually when we pick our dog up from a sitter he is crying and squealing with excitement to see us… this time when we finally picked him up, he literally tried to go back into Meghan’s house and did not want to leave. He’s been depressed ever since we brought him back home… slightly heartbreaking for us LOL but a testament to what a great time he had with Meghan!

Gabriela took such amazing care of our dog this weekend. She kept us up to date with plenty of pictures and updates the entire time she had Hope. Can’t wait till out next visit to her and her amazing family. Highly recommended sitter. Would absolutely rebook the next time we need someone to take care of Hope. Wonderful sitter and took simply the best care of our dog while we were away.

I was so very lucky to find Stefi. I always have trouble boarding my dog Glory. She responded promptly and agreed to take her. I was so relieved as I had a flight in the afternoon. She’s also very reasonably priced. Will definitely use her services again.

Kamini, her family, and Pia are fantastic. Our dog stayed overnight and I received frequent updates (the right amount), lots of pictures, and great communication!! Even with this being the first time he stayed with them, I was comfortable and confident he was being treated as their own. He got along great with Pia, and we would definitely use Kamini again in the future. Highly recommend. 5 stars!

I hesitate to leave this review for selfish reasons but gatekeeping is not an option. It was clear from the moment we walked in their beautiful home our dog would be well care for by Kevin and Natalie. Teddy is an old boy with anxiety but fit right in without issue. The pictures and updates helped us enjoy our vacation. We will absolutely book again. Thank you both!

Alexandra was super great to leave Blue with! I was reassured throughout my trip that Blue was in safe hands and it looked like she had the best time. This was a very last minute booking too so I am very grateful that Alexandra was able to take Blue in for the week!
