“Delmy and her daughter were great! They sent photos and videos constantly. Her house was clean and she even let me come and meet her before I even booked. It was very comforting knowing she wanted me to feel comfortable leaving my Remi with her. Thank you so much!”


“Joanne is amazing to our baby girl, she noticed when our pup wasn’t feeling the best and let us know promptly. She also kept an eye on her and kept us up to date. Our furbaby is always very excited to go to Joanne’s house :)”


“Sandy is absolutely wonderful! I was so impressed with her knowledge of dogs and how perceptive she was with our Daisy girl. So much so, we have already booked her for another trip to watch our pup. I would highly recommend her. It is very clear she is an animal lover and Daisy was immediately comfortable with her. I was grateful that she set up a meet and greet before booking to make sure we would all be a good fit. So thankful to have found Sandy and she will absolutely be our go-to dog sitter from now on!”


“Denise was very sweet to my dog and followed all of the feeding instructions carefully. Cooper made friends with her dogs, and she made sure Cooper was safe and well cared for at all times. 🐾”

“So grateful to have found Vanessa and her family to look after our beagle Max for the weekend. They took care of him as if he were one more of their family, and Max had a great time playing with their dog Luna. Definitely recommend!!”


“Kerri and her family took great care of our big Newfoundland mix. Her dogs were friendly and played well with my dog all week. I appreciated getting photos every day which let me know my dog Juneau was happy and safe! Looking forward to booking with her again in the future. Thanks again!!!”


“Catherine is the nicest of people and her love for dogs is obvious the moment you meet her and see her interact with your pet. She's very easy to set up arrangements with and will provide you with as much info as you want about your pet's stay. Catherine's home is comfortable, pet-friendly and has a nice, big fenced-in yard. Knowing that my dog was so well-cared for by Catherine let me enjoy my vacation without any worry about how my dog was doing in my absence. I highly recommend Catherine for taking great care of your pet when you have to be away! My dog can't wait to go back!”
“I had to schedule this last minute and they were so accommodating. Nikki had a great time. I received pictures and videos. Thank you so much for caring for Nikki. I will definitely use them again.”

“Jillian is excellent, caring, thoughtful, and understanding!! Our pets truly loved being part of her family, and came home just as they left, and in good spirits!! We're very grateful to have found someone like Jillian for our furbabies!!”

“Amber was the best sitter for our furbaby, Marla. She treated her like her own and took care of her while we were away. Marla enjoyed her vacation at Amber’s place. We will definitely book Amber’s service again.”

“Abby is the best dog sitter! She kept me updated on everything my dog was doing, gave him a bath, and made sure he was well-fed. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care.”

About: I’m a retired professional with a calm, patient nature and a genuine love for animals. My sister has two dogs, one of whom is a super senior with special needs, so I’m very comfortable providing extra attention, patience, and thoughtful care. With a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to one-on-one care, I enjoy creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for dogs and cats. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, medication routines, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own—offering reliable care and true peace of mind to pet parents. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. As a retired professional, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around a pet’s needs rather than the other way around. I’m home for most of the day, which means plenty of time for walks, play, feeding, medication schedules, and quiet companionship. I enjoy building consistent routines that help pets feel secure and comfortable, and I’m able to give them my full attention without feeling rushed. This flexibility also allows me to adapt easily to senior pets or those with special needs who may require extra time, patience, or monitoring. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs—whether in my home or in a client’s home. I follow all feeding schedules carefully, provide fresh water, regular walks or playtime, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’m especially attentive to senior and special-needs pets, including administering medications as directed and keeping a calm, consistent environment. In a client’s home, I respect their routines and space, making sure pets feel secure and comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I also keep pet parents updated with check-ins and notes so they can feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.
“Donna is terrific! She sent pictures, and she knows dogs. Boarding dogs is what she does, and she's great at it. We loved that we were able to have a meet and greet with her and with our dog, and that she is so careful about the dogs' temperaments before she accepts them, so they will all be safe interacting with each other. She has a big house and a big yard. Our dog had a wonderful time playing with the other boarding dogs for a week (she sent a great video!) and came home healthy, happy, and very tired. We will definitely be using her again!”

About: Hi, my name is Brenda, and I truly love dogs.❤️ I’ve had them my whole life, and being around them brings me so much joy. I’m a proud dog mom 🐶 and I care for every dog as if they were my own. I have a fully fenced yard and I’m always home, so your pup will receive constant supervision, playtime, and lots of love. I’m also comfortable providing medications if needed. I don’t have kids at home (just my own fur baby Nilo) so your pup will be in a calm, safe, and attentive environment. I’m bilingual (fluent in Spanish and English) Please let me know a little about your fur baby, including their routine, personality, and any special needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m always home. My days revolve around caring for dogs (feeding, playtime, outdoor breaks in my fenced yard, walks, and lots of affection) Since I don’t have kids and only my own fur baby at home, I can give full attention to each dog and easily adjust to their routine, whether that means medication, special feeding schedules, or extra cuddles. Caring for dogs isn’t something I squeeze in, it’s part of my everyday life. I care for dogs in my home as if they were my own. I provide a calm, safe environment with constant supervision. Pups get plenty of playtime, outdoor breaks, regular meals, and lots of affection. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and medication if needed. With no kids at home and only my own fur baby, I’m able to give each pet personal attention and a relaxed, loving home while you’re away.
“I can’t thank Alejandro enough for taking such amazing care of my dog, Arch. He was happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed his time. I really appreciated the regular updates and the genuine attention he gave to every detail. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable. Thank you again for everything!”

“Great experience with Jen from beginning to end! Our pup Blu stayed with her for 6 days and we felt very comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We received updates while away with pics showing our pup comfy cozy in her care. We'll definitely be booking with Jen next time we travel.”

“Thomas and Lauren took great care of my pup! He was happy and exercised when I picked him up! And they were so understanding and flexible when my flight was delayed. Highly recommend!”


“We left our two dogs for the first time with Dan for two nights last weekend and everything went pretty good. Dan and his wife Denise treat the dogs like their own. Dogs are not kept in cages and have a huge beautiful backyard to play in. Dan & Denise are very professional and organized and clearly love dogs. We got updates and photos from them throughout the weekend, which really put our minds at ease. Would feel comfortable leaving our dogs with them again.”

Great experience with Jen from beginning to end! Our pup Blu stayed with her for 6 days and we felt very comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We received updates while away with pics showing our pup comfy cozy in her care. We'll definitely be booking with Jen next time we travel.

My Benji was in great hands! Maria took good care of him and treated him as if he were her own. She provided picture and video updates and she was very responsive. I would certainly book her again and would have no reservations recommending her to anyone who is looking for a sitter.

Lauren and Howard were absolutely amazing with my dog Brody! From the start, they were incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and made me feel so comfortable leaving Brody in their care. They kept me updated throughout his stay with lots of adorable pictures and messages, which really put my mind at ease. Brody clearly felt right at home with them and was so happy and well-cared for. I can’t recommend Lauren and Howard enough — they truly went above and beyond! I would 100% trust them to watch Brody again.

Edward is as great with my dog Ollie! He provided daily updates, was flexible and responded in a timely manner. I was nervous since this is the first time I left Ollie for a long period of time but Edward made me feel comfortable and I was confident Ollie was in good hands. Would definitely use Edward again and would recommend him
