We were very happy with Sophie’s time with Joe, Kelly, and their sweet young son. We arranged a quick visit ahead of time for Sophie to meet them and to see their home and space. They communicated effectively and sent pics during our vacation. We will definitely use them again, should we need care for Sophie.

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and have always been an avid animal lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have two miniature pinschers of my own that I’ve spent a great deal of time training, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and individualized care for every pet. Because I work remotely when I’m not traveling for work, I’m able to provide attentive care, companionship, walks, playtime, feedings, potty breaks, and plenty of love throughout the day. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or needs extra attention, I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. Your pets will be treated like my own with love, attention, and reliable care you can trust. When I’m not traveling for work, I work remotely from home, which gives me flexibility throughout the day for pet care visits, walks, feedings, and companionship. Every day can look a little different, but I keep my calendar updated to ensure accurate availability and reliable scheduling. We have a dedicated area in our basement with turf, toys, and space for pets to safely play and stay active. I will always be present to supervise and monitor them, whether they’re playing indoors, spending time outside, or going for walks around our neighborhood, which has plenty of sidewalks and nearby trails for safe, enjoyable exercise.

We are so grateful to have found the absolute best dog sitter! Our two golden girls stay with Suzanne every single time we travel and it gives us complete peace of mind knowing they are in such loving hands! She and her kids are so awesome with them — lots of love, attention, and playtime. I always look forward to the daily updates and pics! It’s such a relief knowing our girls are not just being watched, but genuinely cared for like family. They’re always happy and well-adjusted when we pick them up. Can’t recommend her enough!

Wil was really great with my dog, even though he is usually reactive he behaved wonderfully with him and I could tell he had a really good time there! I will definitely be booking again! There was some slight confusion though since I wasn’t told it wouldn’t be Francis herself watching my dog but rather her parents, which was fine as they were great with him but it was a surprise.

Chelsea did us a huge solid during our wedding weekend by watching our dog Delilah for the weekend, bringing her for a grooming Saturday morning, and then bringing her to our ceremony so that she could walk down the aisle. She is communicative, flexible, and so great with dogs. Chelsea was super excited to be escorting Delilah to the wedding and made her feel calm during an otherwise overwhelming day. 10000% would book her again!

I was extremely nervous leaving our 1 year old with someone other than my family as she hasn't left us since we adopted last July. However, my fears were calmed leaving Demi with Nuno. My husband had a great meet and greet and then she stayed with Nuno for a couple nights. Nuno has a wonderful friendly dog, Bisca, and a large yard for the dogs to play. He also has children who showered Demi with love also. ❤️ Great communication while he watched her and I'm already booking him again for our next weekend away!

Our son was getting married in upstate NY so we needed a sitter for our dog Kai while we were away. We have always left Kai with either family or friends, but since everyone we knew was attending the wedding I reached out to Laura. We set up a meet and greet -I knew from the first time I met her that she was a perfect match. She was warm and kind - obviously a dog lover - and she made a connection with our normally shy dog right away. She asked a lot of questions about Kai's habits - she wanted to make sure she followed his normal daily routine so that he would be comfortable in her home.. Her house is beautiful and she has a large, fenced in back yard that allowed Kai to run free in a safe environment. Laura took him for a 3 mile daily walk, and sent many pictures and updates the whole 6 days she had him. He became a part of her family❤️ I cannot say enough about how happy we were to have found her. She gave us peace of mind that Kai was well loved and cared for so we were able to enjoy the wedding without any worries. I would HIGHLY recommend Laura to anyone looking for a sitter!!

Crystal was absolutely wonderful looking after our dog over the Christmas period. She sent regular updates and photos/videos, which really kept our minds at ease while we were away. Earlier in the year, our dog spent three days at a kennel and struggled quite a bit, so we were understandably anxious about leaving him again. The difference with Crystal was night and day. He spent seven nights in a loving home environment, had so much fun with the other dogs, and received genuine care and attention from Crystal and her family. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Crystal and will absolutely be using her again.

Absolutely pleased with Rolf’s care. From pictures we could see he was a happy dog. And he got to play outside in a child’s pool and a hosing! His favorite activity. He really didn’t want to come home!

We accidentally booked a no pets hotel once and needed a pet sitter asap and Ansley took our dog in extremely last minute! He was so loved that we took him AND our cat back. Ansley goes above and beyond for our fam and fur babies! We drive out of state now just to take them to her 🥰

My husband & I needed a much needed mini vacation. A friend suggested Rover & we met with Sabina before our trip. We knew right away that she was going to give the nurturing we were looking for. She sent daily pictures and reassured us all was well. She is the perfect care taker for your pet & we highly recommend her!

I cannot say enough good things about Karen. She took care of my dog for 5 nights in her home and he was thrilled to have someone to snuggle and play with. Outings to Harkness Park and other parks in the area and snuggles after a busy day. Karen kept me updated on what they were doing and sent pictures and videos to show me my bubbies was okay. So happy to find such a kind person to watch Rangie. I will definitely use Karen again! We even got a goodie bag when I picked him up with fancy dog treats! Thank you Karen!
