“Deborah is amazing! Most caring, loving, dog sitter I have ever had! My pup comes home exhausted as do I after work. Deborah’s yard is like a small dog park. She goes on numerous walks with Pippa & the crew which I I am thrilled about. My girl is 16 mos & has a lot of energy! Pippa adores Ms. Deborah 💗 She always sends me the cutest pics. Highly recommended!!”


“Kathy was amazing with our dog Jax. My baby girl was having surgery in Boston and she put my mind at ease taking great care of our pup. Sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the day which made us super happy! Can’t wait to bring Jax back for another visit!”


“Rebeka is very sweet. Marshall was nervous going to a new place but she sat with him and cuddled with him, which is exactly what works. She was responsive and professional with all communication and we highly recommend her! Marshall had adjusted and was happy by the time we came to pick him up.”


“Kevin is the best. Koko looked like he was having a great time. I loved all the pictures and updates. We will definitely book with you again. I was afraid with the separation anxiety it wouldn’t be a good experience for him, but I’m glad you made my baby comfortable. Thank you Kevin from me and Koko…”

Reggie is friendly, well-socialized, and loves being around other dogs. I’m especially experienced with puppies and enjoy the energy and patience they require. Reggie and I stick to a consistent daily routine that includes at least a mile of leash walking each day—usually split into multiple walks, with outings early in the morning (as early as 5–8 AM), mid-morning, an afternoon potty break, and a longer walk in the evening. Our home is dog-friendly, safe, and has a fenced-in yard perfect for supervised play. We welcome only one guest dog at a time to ensure plenty of individual attention and a calm environment.

Safety-First, Thoughtful Pet Care in a Calm and Controlled Environment For every pet care job—whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, or in-home hosting—I approach each responsibility with a safety-first mindset. I begin by assessing the environment, checking for any potential hazards, and observing the dog's temperament, energy level, and overall health to ensure they’re set up for a positive experience. I come fully prepared with all the essentials: leashes, treats, food (if needed), cozy beds and blankets, separate water bowls, poop bags, and anything else your pup might need to feel safe and comfortable. I believe dogs thrive in calm, predictable environments. As the walker or sitter, I take the lead in maintaining a peaceful, structured atmosphere where your dog can feel secure, enjoy their time, and have fun—all while staying under steady and attentive supervision.

She has a caring and lovable attitude and always gives them all of the attention that they deserve. I would definitely expect your dog to be well taken care of if Nila is in charge.”


Michelle & Colin M.
“Michelle & Colin are the among the best caregivers of furbabies I have ever encountered, and I have encountered a lot. Not only are they a responsible and loving family of dog-lovers, they have a true wealth of experience with animals of all kinds. They are well-versed in safety, training, and health, but what's really impressive is how intuitive they are with creatures. (I'm pretty sure Michelle is fluent in Dog, Cat, Bunny, and more.) Michelle and Colin are not cookie-cutter sitters - they adapt their care based on owner preferences and individual dogs' needs. They catered to my high-needs elderly beagle with unwavering dedication and affection (because I asked them to spoil him), but I have also been impressed how strictly they hold boundaries with even the largest and naughtiest of dogs. Michelle and Colin are great with communication, and they are just genuinely warm and kind people. Highly recommend!!!”
