“Once again, Kathy and Graham took such good care of Tommy that when he came home after his 2 week vacation with them, although happy to be home, was still looking for them! It’s such a great feeling to know and trust that another person can and will take good care of your beloved pet. We would not hesitate to leave Tommy for any length of time with Kathy”


“I recently had the pleasure of booking a 12-day boarding with Ashya and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, the communication was fantastic. Ashya was incredibly responsive and kept me updated with regular photos, videos and messages about how my Cleo was doing, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. Cleo was clearly well-cared for, happy, and even relaxed when I picked her up. Ashya went above and beyond to make sure Cleo got her required exercise, and felt comfortable and loved throughout the stay. The professionalism, attention to detail and love for animals really shone through in everything Ashya did. I highly recommend Ashya for anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you so much Ashya for making my dog’s stay so easy and wonderful 🩷”


“Had my 2 pups (Husky 7yr and German Shepard 5yr) stay with Nechama for 9 days. She took excellent care of my babies while I was on vacation! She provided them with daily walks and lots of treats!! Would definitely book with her again!”


“Our two pups had a wonderful time over a long weekend with Tara's and Peter's family! Thank you, and thanks for your flexibility on scheduling when our travel plans were disrupted!”


About: **Serious Inquiries Only *** With over 10 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I have developed a deep understanding and passion for working with small dog breeds and puppies. Throughout my career, I’ve been dedicated to providing top-tier care for both puppies and adult small breeds, helping them thrive in loving, healthy environments. I have worked extensively with a variety of small dog breeds, including Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, Yorkies, Shih Tzus, and Dachshunds. My experience spans everything from basic pet care and feeding to behavior management, training, and health monitoring. I specialize in the unique needs of small dogs, including their dietary requirements, exercise routines, and socialization skills. My approach is centered around building trust and positive relationships with the pets in my care. With puppies, I focus on early socialization, potty training, and establishing consistent routines to set them up for a well-adjusted adulthood. With adult small dogs, I work on maintaining good health, managing behavioral issues, and fostering strong bonds between pet and owner. I’m particularly passionate about understanding the individual personalities of each dog, ensuring they receive personalized care that meets their specific needs. My extensive background in pet care has allowed me to not only enhance the lives of the dogs I care for but also provide valuable advice and support to their owners, helping them navigate the joys and challenges of dog ownership. I am dedicated to provide my full attention to your pup throughout their entire stay! If it’s boarding or just a fun day at doggy day camp I can ensure your pup will have a great time! I have a fenced in back yard , plenty of toys and activities to keep your pup busy! My home has central air conditioning for hot summer days . I also have a small male shitzu to keep your pup company during their stay .

“Lillian was absolutely fantastic with Ziva! I was visiting Ohio when I suddenly needed a last-minute sitter, and she stepped in without hesitation. Dropping my dog off with a stranger in a new state could’ve been stressful, but Lillian made the entire process so easy and reassuring. She let me see where Ziva would be staying, kept me updated every day with messages and photos, and clearly cared for Ziva like her own. I felt completely at peace knowing my pup was in great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!”


“Wonderful sitters! Went above and beyond to make sure our diabetic pet was well taken care of, and they communicated throughout the sitting. Will definitely use again and highly recommend.”


“Patchareya was an excellent sitter for my pup. She communicates regularly and provides a lot of care and affection for small dogs. If you have a small dog I would highly recommend her for your future boarding needs. I know I will!”


“Colleen was so great with our dog while we were away! She provided nice updates throughout the trip and was very thorough in collecting information to provide the best care for our dog. 5-star dog sitter!”


“Susan was an awesome sitter for my dog. My husband and I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her for a couple of days. She kept us updated throughout the day with pics and conversation. We’re so happy to have found her.”


“Our Havanese enjoyed his time with Anne! She was communicative with drop off/pickup and providing us updates. She bonded with our dog over the weekend he boarded with her. Taking him out for 4 walks, a pupcone at Starbucks and treats/meals we had provided - she was an ideal petsitter. We would definitely use her again if the opportunity comes up.”



“This is now the second time that I have left Hugo with Pamela and i couldnt be happier with her care. Pamela is fantastic with Hugo. I was a little hesitant when i first started using rover but pamela quickly put me at ease. She has a lot of experience with pet sitting and clearly knows what she is doing. She always sends lots of pictures and updates too. I highly recommend her and will definitely continuing using her in the future!”


“Anna & Christian were great with Nahla. They are very kind and friendly people. Anna & Christian seem to really enjoy being around dogs. They send updates as necessary and share pictures/videos. I know Nahla is in good hands. I can tell she enjoys her time with them because she is dead tired as soon as we arrive home. Our experience with Anna & Christian is always positive. Nahla always seems excited whenever I drop her off. They are excellent sitters and I would definitely recommend to anyone who is in need. Thank you.”

“Absolutely outstanding with our pup, sent us pictures of Zoey during her stay and was super attentive and thorough to our pets needs. Will book with Kaitlynn again! Thank you!”


“Taylor was absolutely amazing!! She was so attentive to our dogs needs and you can tell she genuinely cares for your dog! We loved getting little updates and pictures throughout the week while we were gone! We are so excited to have her watch our dog again and would definitely recommend her to anyone!❤️❤️Thanks Taylor!”


“Mareika was able to watch our dog on short notice and we’re glad we found her! Clear communication, provided updates during his stay and was an easy drop off/pickup process. Our dog can be anxious in a new space but he adapted quickly with Mareika and her pup. We’d absolutely recommend her!”


“We couldn't be happier with Alyssa, and our dogs loved their weekend stay with her! We got updates about both how they were behaving and the activities they did. We could tell she was making efforts to keep the two of them entertained and stimulated, as they came back exhausted. We also got videos and pictures that were very entertaining and reassuring while we were gone. Our dogs can be difficult and have a few things to keep track of, but this did not seem to bother Alyssa and she exceeded our expectations! We will be repeating this experience and would recommend her to our family and friends.”

I had such a great experience with Nechama while she watched my dog for the weekend! She was incredibly sweet, patient, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My dog took to her right away, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was also super communicative—sending regular updates, photos, and checking in just to let me know how things were going. I could tell my dog was in great hands the entire time. I’m so grateful and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. Thank you again!

Cliff is great, he sent many pictures and kept me updated daily. I could tell my fur baby was happy the whole time. He has a very big yard which is great for a very big dog. He also said my baby acted like a king; which he is. Very happy with Cliff, would definitely recommend. Thanks.

Mareika was able to watch our dog on short notice and we’re glad we found her! Clear communication, provided updates during his stay and was an easy drop off/pickup process. Our dog can be anxious in a new space but he adapted quickly with Mareika and her pup. We’d absolutely recommend her!

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

Jenna took excellent care of Kaya while my husband and I were away for a week. Jenna sent regular updates on how Kaya was doing, her eating, and her walks (she graciously took her for 3 per day), and sent plenty of pictures! We don’t leave Kaya with a sitter often, but I can honestly say we were not worried about Kaya at all while we were away as we had complete peace of mind that she was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of with Jenna who communicated with us regularly. Kaya can be nervous around other dogs/animals and Jenna was very attentive to her needs. Jenna was also super flexible when our plane home delayed pick up upon arriving home. Couldn’t be more appreciative of her love and care for Kaya!

Our Havanese enjoyed his time with Anne! She was communicative with drop off/pickup and providing us updates. She bonded with our dog over the weekend he boarded with her. Taking him out for 4 walks, a pupcone at Starbucks and treats/meals we had provided - she was an ideal petsitter. We would definitely use her again if the opportunity comes up.

Can’t be more thankful for Kaylah and her service! I received frequent updates throughout my dog’s stay, and I can tell my pup enjoyed her time there. Kaylah’s home is beautiful and my dog made herself at home quickly! Her own dog was so friendly and welcoming of my dog, they were fast napping friends. 10/10 would recommended
