“Natalie took great care of Fletcher! We were nervous to leave him for longer than we had before, but Natalie sent plenty of updates and pictures, and fletcher came home happy and tired ?”


“Fantastic experience! Christina is super dog knowledgeable and very responsive to questions. She's very careful about dog interactions and I felt good about leaving my boy here while going on a trip out of state. I got updates with beautiful pictures, and my dog had an exciting time playing with other dogs at camp. I felt bad taking him away from all his new friends when it was time to go home. Your pups are in good hands here!”


“Alissa is seriously the best dog sitter we've ever had. She went above and beyond for our pup. He came back refreshed and cheery, like he was at the spa all weekend. There were all kinds of generous gestures like home made treats, and the photos of our dog were basically professional grade. And most of all, we knew our dog was in incredibly attentive, capable hands. Our family is so grateful to her.”


“Bronzino had such a good time staying with Cat and Penny. Bronzy can be nervous with new people, and Cat did a great job of making him feel comfortable. We hope to book again!”


“Lindsay was fantastic throughout the entire booking, boarding, and picking up process! She was very quick to respond to messages and very easy to make arrangements with. Our puppy lived his stay with Lindsay and we will definitely call her again when he needs a place to stay. Thank you, Lindsay, for a wonderful experience! ?”


“Breanna was AMAZING!! She took my 3 large Golden’s and 2 Persian cats on short notice for a week in her home. She checked in, sent me pictures, gave my old boy his meds. It was the best boarding experience i ever had. Feel safe and confident leaving your babies with her.”


“Colleen is amazing. This was the first time we boarded our young dog. We don’t board often because our dog can be high energy! Colleen provided lots of opportunities for exercise and play. She also sent updates with pictures. It allowed us to relax while away. If you are looking for a positive environment with lots of options for movement and play, she is the right person!”


“I am beyond grateful for Tonya. I was able to take a once in a lifetime vacation because Tonya was there for me. I have a 20 year old very needy pup who isn't easy to care for. She took such good care of him and my home, even while, my smoke alarms decided to beep the entire 8 days. She is a patient woman. I hope you are lucky enough to book her.”


“I was nervous about using Rover for my 3-yr old Yorkie, but it worked out fantastic! Rose sent updates and pictures through our dogs stay. Her yard is fenced in so that was a real treat for our dog. Rose treated him like he was her own dog, gave him loads of attention and cuddles. He had a great time playing with her dogs and another Rover dog. He was smaller than all the other dogs, but he didn’t mind at all. I would definitely use Rose again!”


“Max had a wonderful a stay with Eugene & Gale. They are warm friendly people who immediately made Max feel at home. Their dog Acadia is a friendly softie! We will definitely have Max go back!”


“Alyx was wonderful to work with and we are very happy we found her! She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on Lucy's stay with messages and pictures. We were nervous leaving Lucy with a new sitter but feel confident that she was well cared for and given lots of one-on-one attention in her time with Alyx. We definitely recommend her!”


About: I have lots of experience working with animals, including time working at an animal hospital during high school, where I learned to care for pets of all kinds. I’m familiar with administering medications and meeting the unique needs of different animals. I am currently searching for a summer job while taking a couple summer classes while i finish my associate degree. My schedule is very open! In my home i have one dog a very friend golden retriever who loves playdates and we have a big yard by woods. I’m very attendant and anxious so i spend a lot of time outside with my dog and love going for walks

“We left our 15 lb Yorkie in the care of Elizabeth for three nights and were very pleased with the care she provided. He has special dietary requirements as he has colitis and Elizabeth fed him exactly as needed and he came home healthy and happy as could be. She sent us pictures of him every day out walking and in the house and he looked like he was having a ball. Either way I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her or use her again to look out for our dog while we are out of town.”


“Nathan was so good with my dog, Ella! I was in the planning stages of a tentative trip when I reached out to him and he really took the time to answer all my questions and even ask his own to ensure a successful stay for Ella. He was prompt, knowledgeable, and so kind in his communication from the planning stages, during Ella’s stay, to pick up. He has such a warm and calm demeanor that put both Ella and I at ease. At drop off, Ella and he were fast friends and he really took the time to get to know Ella and help make her feel welcome and comfortable. He sent regular updates and pictures the whole time so I never had to worry how she was doing. And she had an absolute blast! She’s not the easiest dog, she’s still working on a lot and has a ton of energy and he handled her impeccably. He mentioned he has experience with rescue dogs and that really shown through in his demeanor and connection with her. She felt safe and was her playful happy self when I picked her up. He was nice and organized and had her things in order and ready when I got there. He had given her a nice walk and some water right before knowing she had a decent car ride home. I was just so impressed. Will definitely be back. Cannot recommend Nathan enough!”


“Gael and Bridget were great taking care of Lola. Along with their daughter, Gael and Bridget provided a warm welcoming and loving home for Lola's stay. Lola also loved playing with their dog Selkie at the house, fenced in backyard and nearby beach! We highly recommend Gael and Bridget!”


“Highest marks! Pat was super-attentive to Cody's special needs and gave us daily updates. We were particularly impressed by the way she introduced the other dogs in her care to Cody -- incrementally, to not overwhelm our little girl and also to get a read for who would get along best so she could manage everyone socially. We would absolutely use Pat's services again. Thank you so much!!!”


“Caroline was amazing with my dog!! I could tell she genuinely cared about my dog and I appreciated all the pictures she took of him and sent to me. I’m glad she was able to bond with him and liked the fact she only took one dog at a time. I will 100% use her again moving forward. She even will pick up your pet from your apt which was super convenient when traveling and coordinating work priorities.”



“Katie was fantastic! My dog and her dog got along really well. It's a good deal, and she gave my dog a bag and homemade biscuits when we left.”
