1. Rosediane H.

“Wonderful experience with Rosediane watching my 7/8 year old rescue dog. She was well cared for and happy. My dog has some minor behavioral issues stemming from trauma but Rosediane handled it with grace and kindness. I would highly recommend using her to watch your pet.”


2. Kevin C.

“Kevin was really great with my pup Maple and gave plenty of updates all weekend! She came home happy and tired from a fun weekend of playing with his pups!”


3. Anner C.


“Anner took wonderful care of our English lab and King Charles Cavalier for a week while we were traveling - he was very responsive and took great care of them. They came home bathed and brushed, looking better than when we dropped them off. We'll be reaching out again next time we need coverage for our pups!”


4. Judy L.

“Judy was amazing!! Very patient, detail oriented, and accommodating. I would book her again and recommend to other dog parents in a heartbeat! She even gave my pup Tux a bath and his coat was incredibly soft and fluffy!”

“Really great sitter! Very nice and welcoming. Would use again. She provided great updates with photos of my dog and even let me know he was eating all his food. Big thank you irene!”




6. Richard G.

“Bowser’s first stay with Richard was excellent! We were a little concerned because our dog has some separation anxiety, but Richard sent frequent pictures and we could see how content Bowser was. We will definitely be booking with Richard again!”

“Edison and Nathalia are amazing! We are so happy to have found a place our fur baby can go where we are confident she is in good hands! Thank you both so much for all the love and care you gave to Gixxer!! 🐶💛”




8. Jhensen A.


“Jhensen was very friendly and kept us appraised of our dachshunds status over the weekend. It was reassuring to receive photos throughout the weekend and get status reports periodically. We will book again.”


9. monika m.

“Our usual Rover was unavailable and we needed a last minute dog sitter for the day. Monika was available and we’re so happy we met her! She was super responsive, happy to do a meet and greet before we confirmed the booking, and sent us lots of photos of our dog (who doesn’t really like other dogs by the way) playing with her dog Lexi and son! She always let us know how Nate was doing and was good about asking questions for when to feed him, his bathroom schedule, etc. She has a semi fenced in yard and lives on a quiet street convenient to Route 15 if you’re driving that way. Would be happy to have her watch our dog again in the future!”


10. Magdalena P.

“I highly recommend Magdalena. My Pup really seemed to love his stay! She was so attentive to his needs. She would send me updates and pictures. She has a great backyard for him to run around which is enclosed. In addition her pup really helped put my pup at ease. I will definitely be using her in the future! Thanks Magdalena!”




11. John H.


“John is super dedicated to dogs! His home is extremely dog friendly and he has tons of expertise and comfort caring for all kinds of dogs and their needs. I felt really comfortable knowing my fur babies were supervised almost the entire time, and given lots and lots of exercise and play.”


12. Yufei C.

“Yufei was so accommodating to my schedule with pickup and drop off times. She was such a pleasure to work with and my dog had a really nice time. I got lots of picture and video updates which was really nice as well. If I am in the area again and need a sitter I will definitely be using Yufei again?”


13. Kevin H.

15. Rosa C.


“Rosa took great care of our two pups while we were out of town for almost a week. Each day she sent short videos and photos and let us know how Augie and Peach were doing. Both dogs were happy and clearly had been well cared for when we picked them up. We would work with Rosa again without hesitation.”


16. Jackie B.


“Jackie was great with my dog, Eva. She made sure to message me with status every now and then, which is something very important to me! I’d deifinwtky recommend her!”

18. Yushin "Tina" P.
“Tina has been taking care of my dogs for a few times. She is reliable and trustworthy. She has a genuine love for animals. She pays attention to dogs’ unique needs, personality and make sure they are happy and comfortable. She also has two adorable dogs herself and very knowledgeable about dog care. I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone looking for a dedicated and caring dog sitter.”




19. Elvia C.

“Elvia and family were terrific! I felt at peace knowing Brandy was in good hands with such a great family. Highly recommend and will most definitely book with her again in the future!”

About: With a beautiful big backyard to play in and four pet loving children to play with and cuddle, it doesn’t get better than this for your beloved pets holiday. I am at home for the most part of each day along with my children who are schooled at home. So there are plenty of friends to meet your pets needs. I have a fully fenced yard and a friendly playful dog who welcomes visitors. There are indoor options for space and segregation if any issues were to arise between pets, but the idea is that they enjoy the run of the yard and outdoor play as much as possible. Plenty of shade is also available under the trees.
