“Excellent experience ( first weekend ) for my boy to board at Rob's! Rob is very nice as is his dog Pepper! Patric had a great time playing, hiking and enjoying his time away with this lovely family and I was updated with photos. I'm very happy with the stay and certainly will try to use Rob's services again if he is available. Thank you so much Rob and family?❤️”
“Yan took great care of my dog sparkles! She was clear with communication and coordination, and I got frequent updates. Her apartment seemed comfortable with lots of space for my pup to lounge around, and I know he was same and well cared for.”
“McKenzie was a lifesaver, offering to take my dog at the last minute the day before after I had a last minute cancellation with another sitter! She did a great job taking care of him and sent adorable pictures of my dog with hers! He came back home so happy! Thank you so much again!!!”
“Antonio was great with our two dogs. We will be leaving them for a longer period soon, but wanted to do a trial run to make sure it would work. I appreciate him being in contact with us as we planned this out, and his working to understand the needs of one of our dogs who has separation anxiety.”
“Victoria did a fantastic job with Charlie. Her communication was excellent from start to finish: she kept me updated throughout and was easy to coordinate with. Charlie clearly had a great time and came home happy. I'll definitely be booking with Victoria again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive sitter.”

“Hanna was so understanding and sweet. There were several hiccups on my end that caused me to need her to watch Tilly an additional night and she was very accommodating. She sent tons of photos and videos, more than any sitter I’ve ever used before, and it looks like Tilly had a fantastic time! I was an anxious mess from the very beginning but Hanna eased my worries with her calm and kind responses to all my concerns. We will definitely be back!”
“We left Winnie with Maja for a week while we were away. Winnie can be dog aggressive and likes to pull on the leash especially when she sees bunnies, but it seemed like Winnie did great with Maja. She can also become depressed by the end of the week when we leave her but she seemed to get more comfortable with Maja as the week went on and when I picked her up! Maja was great with communication and sending pictures daily!”

Monica communicated frequently with me letting me know that Alfie was doing great and enjoying his time with her family and Thor, their cat. She sent me various pics and videos during the day. Alfie had a lot of fun playing ball with the kids and Thor and going on walks. Alfie will definitely miss them! Thank you for taking great care of Alfie!”

Ivis is amazing! Ollie has been very happy at her home twice already. This time for over a week. She is very sweet, easygoing, cheerful, and always quick with updates. I will definitely have Ollie stay with her on future trips! Thank you Ivis, it is so comforting knowing Ollie has a friend in you 🤗.
We left our dog Theia with John over the weekend while we were on vacation in Maine. John is an absolute dream of a dog sitter - he is attentive, kind, and so clearly loves dogs that we felt totally at ease leaving our dog with him. He has two dogs of his own and they all become fast friends. John sent a bunch of pictures and I swear Theia was smiling in each one. We highly recommend John, he is very responsive and flexible to meet our schedule needs. We feel very lucky to have found John and plan to use him again in the future. Theia came home a tired and happy pup, nothing more we could ask for!
I have previously had Yu do drop in visits for my cats and recently had her board them. She was amazing! It was my first time boarding my cats and she let me know what to expect for changes in their behavior the first few days and reassured me for all my concerns. One of my cats needed a quick visit to the ER after not eating after a couple of days and Yu was super communicative and included me in all conversations with the vets. While a little scary, I knew my cats were in good hands and I cannot recommend her enough!
I left Rocky with Krystal and William for four days, and it couldn’t have gone better. They were flexible with my schedule, which made drop-off and pick-up easy. While I was away, they sent lots of photos and videos, so I always knew Rocky was happy and well cared for. He came home freshly bathed and in great spirits, a clear sign he’d had a wonderful stay. I’ll definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable home for their dog.
We had a wonderful experience with Carmen and Hunter! They took incredible care of Demi for 20 days and sent us thoughtful, detailed updates every single day. They even included her in a weekend getaway and a day trip, keeping her happy and entertained. We’re so grateful they treated her like their own. Knowing she was in such loving hands gave us peace of mind and made our trip that much more enjoyable. We couldn’t recommend them more!

We recently boarded our tiny Yorkie (3.10lbs) with Linda for the first time and from the time I met Linda I knew that she would be the best "auntie dog" for our pup and she didn't disappoint. An active 20 month old puppy, Jasmine could be a handful and being a Yorkie meant she wanted to be the constant center of attention and the boss. Linda is an expert in all things dog. Her home set up provided me great peace of mind because a 3lb dog can get into small spaces and hide easily. Linda was well prepared for anything! Linda sent several updates and photos over the three days and when I went to pick up Jasmine it was clear that they had not only bonded but Jasmine didn't want to leave. While we chatted Jasmine went back and forth between Linda and me. It warmed my heart to know how much Jasmine loved Linda. We can't wait for our next vacation knowing Jasmine is in such good hands.
Best dog sitter ever! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Ilya was incredibly kind and accommodating, especially with our super last-minute booking. He truly went above and beyond to make sure Drax felt loved and cared for. Drax enjoyed plenty of outdoor adventures and even made lots of new furry friends along the way! Knowing Drax was in such wonderful hands made our Boston trip so much more enjoyable and worry-free. We’re so grateful to Ilya and would absolutely book with him again. Highly, highly recommend!
Chantel was so kind and helpful when my partner and I left town for a couple of nights. She took such great care of our sweet Mini and followed all of her detailed feeding instructions with no issue. We also received a lot of pictures and videos of Mini, which made us feel better about being away. Her apartment is the perfect place for a cat to roam around and play, so our Mini was super happy when we picked her up! Thank you so much Chantel🤍

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
