“Came in from out of town for a wedding and Heather saved the day when another sitter canceled. My dog came home tired and happy. Great communication throughout. Thanks you!”
“I never thought that I would be able to replace the pet sitter we had for 20 years but thankfully I found Penny. She took such good care of our Cockers for 2 weeks. I would recommend her to anyone. Communication was excellent, she sent photos, videos and updates just about every day. I never had to worry as if anything came up, she did not hesitate to let me know, plus her back yard is amazing! Such a great experience”
“I couldn't be more grateful to this wonderful couple for taking care of my pup! They made him feel right at home, treating him like one of their own. It was clear they gave him tons of love and attention. Sending me pictures to let me see all the fun he was having. Thank you for making him feel so comfortable and cared for — I’ll definitely be coming back next time I need a sitter!”
“Taylor is awesome! She gave my 11 year old pup the care she needs, being the pampered pooch she is. Taylor sent updates with pictures and assured me that Maddy’s stay was going well for everyone… Maddy, Taylor, her sweet daughter & pup Chico. Maddy is looking forward to her next sleep over with Taylor’s family. 🐶🐾”
“Gabrielle was amazing! She’s keeps you updated on how your pups are doing and sends pictures daily! I love that she watches so many dogs because it is socializing my puppy! 100% recommend and we will be booking again! Thank you!”
“Amanda was amazing and we couldn't be more pleased with our experience with her services. She went above and beyond out expectations. Our black lab was under the weather when Amanda took care of her and she took so much extra care and was thoughtful in ways we didn't even think of. It made a big difference and we're so grateful to Amanda. We'd recommend her without any reservation and look forward to having her take care of our dog again!”
“I recently boarded my dog with Daria for the first time, and I was a bit nervous since it was my dog's first experience staying in a stranger's house. However, Daria was amazing! She made my dog feel comfortable and at ease right away. The updates and pictures she sent showed how well my dog was adapting and enjoying the stay. Her kindness and attention to detail made all the difference. I highly recommend Daria for anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter, especially for first-timers!”
“My anxious dog loves spending the night with Kim. She’s always excited when we get there and I can leave knowing she’s happy and in good hands. So happy to have a great sitter!”
“Allison was so amazing to work with, she was absolutely wonderful with our senior dog Charlotte. Very flexible with her schedule, and her home is super dog friendly. We’ve already booked her for another trip soon. So thrilled to have found her!”
“Kevin was great with our 7 month old puppy! He send pictures all weekend which helped us puppy parents feel so much better about leaving her. She had so much fun and I’m sure is wondering when she’ll see all her new friends again - we’ll definitely book Kevin again!”
“Once again Jaxon had a great visit with Alina and her family. He really loves the comforts of home! Alina’s home is conveniently located, allowing us to enjoy quick ski trips and hikes in the White Mountains. Jaxon looks forward to these trips as much as we do!”
“Katherine and her husband were amazing! They immediately treated our dog like part of their family and took such great care of her. From daily pictures and updates, to walks and play time they were just the best! When we need someone to watch our dog in the future, they will definitely be our first choice.”
“Kate was amazing with Max. Her space was clean and welcoming. I think Max had more fun with Kate than he does at home! Will definitely use Kate’s services again and highly recommend her to others.”
“Susan was such a wonderful sitter for our dogs Libby and Ginger. She’s clearly a dog lover, and kept us updated on their daily adventures with her. We have an older dog who sometimes needs medication management and she was very comfortable with the possibility of administering medication. Susan was a great communicator and we will definitely have our dogs stay with her in the future.”
“Julie-Ann and family were a wonderful family for FB to stay with recently. All of the photos and messages gave me great comfort that she was well and happy. I highly recommend Julie-Ann for your pet-sitting needs!!”
About: Hello! I'm Holly Heath, and I've been a dog lover my whole life. From caring for my own 12 year old pup to providing daycare and boarding for friends and family, dogs have always been a huge part of my world. I started young, walking a big Akita when I was just 12, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’ve dog sat for a household with six pups, taken a hyper Great Dane puppy on mini adventures, and worked as a dog walker with Homeward Bound Pet Services for two years. I even had a small handmade dog toy business at one point! I’m a total dog person! I love spending time with dogs in a calm, gentle way, and I’m fluent in dog body language. All dogs are my instant friends. These days, I’m offering frequent short walks with laps around the yard if needed and relaxing yard hangouts at my home. I offer daycare and can board up to two dogs at a time. I'm all about making dogs feel safe, happy, and loved. I currently work part-time as a dog walker, so I just need a two-week heads up to request time off. Once that's set, all my focus is on your pup, and I’ll be home with them 100% of the day! There will be plenty of playtime and walks as needed through my beautiful yard. I will have a maximum of three dogs in my home at a time, including my own dog, Rosko. Rosko gets excited when he first meets a new pup but quickly settles into his normal self, a calm, smart, 12-year-old mutt who weighs about 25 pounds. He loves to share his toys, watch other dogs play, and relax with a buddy. He’s very respectful and enjoys simply sitting next to other dogs. He’s also great at reading dog body language. I have a large, three-acre yard with open lawns, gardens, wooded paths, and a babbling brook. Your dog will always be on a leash while exploring, but they'll still get to enjoy peaceful walks and all the wildlife smells. Inside, there are plenty of toys to choose from and cozy spots to lounge. It's nice and cool in the summer, and warm in the winter. I will follow your instructions closely and provide the best, most attentive care possible.
“This was my second time boarding George with Suzanne over the holidays and I had a wonderful vacation because I knew George was in good hands. Suzanne would send me pics from her phone of the dogs playing and opening Christmas presents. George looked very happy! Suzanne is kind and easy to deal with and I would board George there again!”
