“Sherry is an AMAZING dog sitter!! I trusted her to care for my sweet but nervous 50lb girl, Ellie, and I could not have asked for a better sitter. Sherry was so thorough, she sent plenty of updates throughout and put me at ease! She was super responsive to my dog’s needs, and I could see Ellie just melting and falling in love with her through the updates. She’s got a lovely, clean and safe apartment and she is obviously someone who knows dogs well. I would trust Sherry with dog sitting ANY day! Highly recommend.”

“Abigail was awesome and took great care of our almost 5 year old Havanese, Bailey. She was very responsive, quickly answering any questions we had. Her home and yard area were perfect. Bailey loved the extra walks and settled in nicely. We really appreciated all the photos and short videos Abigail sent letting us know Bailey was in excellent hands. We will definitely ask Abigail to watch Bailey the next time the need arises.”

About: As a dog owner myself, I understand that pets are family. Whether it's keeping up with an energetic puppy, providing patience and comfort for a senior dog, or sticking to your pet's routine, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I'm reliable, communicative, and committed to giving pet parents peace of mind while they're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially during the summer. As an Athletic Director on summer break, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, or simply providing companionship, I can be available throughout the day to ensure your pet receives the care, exercise, and attention they deserve. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet. In a client's home, I follow their pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with regular exercise, supervision, and opportunities for play and relaxation. My goal is to make pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind through reliable communication and updates.

About: I’ve cared for pups for friends, family, and neighbors, and have also had the joy of fostering dogs. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and giving them plenty of love, attention, and cuddles. I will send all of my clients high-quality (and cute!) daily photo/video updates 🎞️ My schedule is pretty flexible! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and house sitting throughout the week, and most weekends as well. I’m in class Wednesday evenings from 6–9pm and one weekend a month, but otherwise I have plenty of availability to spend time with your pup. I live in a dog-friendly apartment with my 6-year-old Frenchie, who gets along great with other dogs. In order to ensure the comfort and safety of all parties, I have a strict policy of only boarding ONE dog at a time. Your pup will get lots of individual attention while also getting plenty of doggy playtime with my super-friendly pup.

About: I provide calm, attentive care with a focus on routine and safety. I understand that every dog is different, and I aim to keep their environment steady and comfortable while you’re away. I enjoy taking dogs on regular walks and occasional hikes, giving them time to explore while keeping things structured and safe. I adjust to each dog’s energy level, whether they prefer an active outing or a more relaxed pace. I’m organized, communicative, and reliable, and I take pride in making pet parents feel comfortable and informed. You can expect clear updates, thoughtful communication, and plenty of photos so you can feel at ease while your dog is in my care.

Daisy got lots of outdoor time and was happy and healthy throughout her stay. Daisy has a ton of energy and was able to get the exercise she needed and great friendship from Goose. I recommend Adam and Vicky!!”

Paule took such great care of my senior dog Brutus. He is 15 years old and can be a bit needy so I’m usually nervous leaving him but she made him so comfortable and made me feel at ease. Highly recommended Paule to anyone.

I was in need for a sitter for my sweet Kiko for a week while I got hitched in Hawaii. Danielle and Joel took such great care of Kiko, she practically cried a bit when we took her home as if she didn’t want to leave. She got along with their dogs well and enjoyed their home and backyard. They also made the time to share photos with us everyday. I am happy we found Danielle and Joel. We will definitely use them again in the future!

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Anthony. Our dog was exceptionally well cared for, and it was clear from the start that he genuinely cared about her happiness and well-being. Anthony paid close attention to everything she needed—exercise, playtime, rest, and plenty of affection. Most importantly, he really took the time to connect with her and make her feel comfortable and loved. We also appreciated the frequent updates and pictures along the way. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was not only in great hands but genuinely enjoying herself. Anthony is thoughtful, attentive, and clearly passionate about animals. We would absolutely trust him with her again and highly recommend him!
