“We had such a great experience boarding our dog with Shannon and Robert. They made it easy from the start! You can tell that this is a family of dog-lovers, which brings so much comfort when leaving your baby behind. They updated us daily with pictures and tidbits on how the stay was going. Their home is calm, clean, and comfortable. We're so grateful for the love and care they gave our boy while we were away. We look forward to becoming a repeat customer & I will recommend Shannon and Robert to any and all friends in the future!”
About: I have been a pet owner for about four years now and truly have a passion for taking care of dogs and giving them freedom to have fun and be themselves. I work at night time so usually when I get up in the day, I have the most energy and that’s when I’m totally available for the time and attention for the love of dogs. I have a closed in gated fence, which allows the pets to have access to roam around handedly at Will I have a true passion for taking care of dogs.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my Bernedoodle, Sydney, received while staying with David and his family during our week-long vacation. From our initial meeting, it was clear that David genuinely loves dogs and takes his responsibility as a pet sitter seriously. He carefully ensures that the dogs in his care are a good match in temperament, creating a comfortable and safe environment for everyone. Throughout Sydney’s stay, David kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while we were away. Knowing Sydney was happy, comfortable, and well cared for made it easy to relax and enjoy our vacation. I highly recommend David and would happily book with him again in the future.”
“Malik was communicative and made the whole process so smooth. This was my first time using a sitter through this app and it was the best possible first experience. Highly recommend Malik and will 100% rebook when we need pet sitting for our pets”
“Freddie had another great stay with Alex! Alex always makes us feel at ease leaving our pup with him by sending videos and photos every day. Freddie loves playing with Zana and Cocoa, and is always happy to see them all when we pull up. Thanks for having fun with Freddie this week, Alex!”
“Cara is a great person and takes good care of my baby, Zebo. I can tell that he receives the same treatment from me by her while I’m away. She’s a good communicator and loves animals equally as much as me. Thank you Cara and Adam! 🥰🐶”
“Gracias Julien por cuidar de Ashley, ella se ve feliz!! Buena comunicación pero nunca recibí una fotografía de mi perrita en los 4 días que estuvo contigo, puede ser algo en el sistema…en general muy bien cuidada, Ashley está feliz.”
“Marcie & family excepted my request on short notice. She sent pics. She went above and beyond for me and my pup. Her family treated him like one of their own. And for that, I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much!!!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve regularly walked and pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors, giving me experience with a wide variety of dog breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether it’s a leisurely walk or active playtime, I tailor each experience to suit your pet’s needs. I’ve had my cat for the past three years and have grown up around animals, so I’m very comfortable handling pets of all ages and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on creating a safe, loving, and fun environment! I’m reliable, caring, and happy to provide updates, photos, and lots of affection along the way! I’m currently a graduate student with more availability during the weekend. I’m flexible during the week since I make my own schedule. Just let me know. I have a friendly cat who’s comfortable around dogs. My home has a backyard, and I live near parks—perfect for walks, playtime, and a calm, pet-friendly environment.
“Marcus was great with Muffin. I got periodic updates with pictures which was comforting. This was Muffin’s first time at Marcus’ and I have already rebooked. Thanks Marcus.”
“Leslie is amazing. She takes great care of our fur babies and always does a little extra that helps us know things will be fine while we are gone (water plants, bring in mail, etc).”
“Alejandra accepted our last minute reservation and took great care of our dog while we were on vacation. She sent picture updates and helped take care of a skin irritation that our dog had. Would definitely book again.”
“I can't say enough wonderful things about Kim!! She was the perfect fit for my 8yr old Mal-Shi, Ella. She took such good care of my anxious little girl, giving her lots of love & comfort, as well as paying attention to the details of her care. She absolutely treated her like the queen that she is.”
“Brittany was awesome. This was the first time my dog was away from me and she made him feel comfortable and welcome. She sent lots of pictures of what they were doing. I will definitely use her again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since l was 10, with friends, family, and neighbors asking for pet care since l remember. I always enjoy spending time with furry loved ones. I care for two of my own dogs so it’s an everyday routine for me to care and check in on them when I do have to leave the house. I don’t have a job that requires me to be on site all the time so it’s perfect for my dogs schedule now that I have more time to be around them. At home I watch my dogs everyday, they are well trained so I don’t have to be super vigilant on them because I know them won’t leave the yard. They are fed twice a day and I try to walk them everyday. As for a clients home it depends on their schedule and how they care for their dog, but whatever their dogs needs are I will provide the service of fulfilling it.

Angel provided daily updates and photos of Ace while we were out of town. We were able to enjoy our vacation because we knew that Ace was safe and well cared for by Angel. I highly recommend Angel as a dog sitter and will definitely book additional stays for Ace.
Lillian did an amazing job of watching my dog Tia for a weekend when I was out of town for an interview. She is very kind, caring, and knowledgeable and gave my dog treats during our meet at greet and chicken gizzards to go when I came to pick Tia up. She also sent me updates while I was away with details about what Tia had been up to and with pictures. Her dog Jericho is also such a friendly dog and Tia and Jericho got along and played together in the yard. I would definitely use Lillian again as a dog sitter!
Elandra was super communicative, helpful, friendly, and so so kind! My cat had a nice, spacious, comfy room to herself during her stay, had plenty of playtime, and she did so well! I also received updates and photos during her stay that I appreciated during my vacation that made me feel more at ease. Elandra is super knowledgeable about pets and cares for them so lovingly. No need to worry if you book with Elandra, you’ll be in great hands!!!! I will definitely use her services in the future 😊

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 .
