“Sarah was amazing with our dog Teddy! She was so patient and caring. It was the first time we left him for a week and we were worried. He can be apprehensive and scared of other dogs. Throughout the whole week she made us feel comfortable by keeping us updated on what he was doing and sending pictures and videos. I could tell he really loved being with Sarah and felt very comfortable in her household. I would 100% recommend Sarah.”
About: I have had pets my entire life- dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, frogs, tortoises, and more! We even do birthday parties for family pets with the entire family! We love to travel on a whim so having our own pets isn't in the cards right now. We would love to sit for your pets and care for them just like our own. I work from home full time so I am flexible to care for your pet all day and ready to fulfill their needs. I can take a longer walk before work, during lunch and at the end of the day. I do not have a fenced in yard but can take dogs out for walks on leashes and through the yard. I would not leave any pets outside unattended. Without having pets of our own, we would be able to put all cuddles and care into yours!
“I highly recommend Seonmin to anyone looking for a professional, communicative dog watcher. She watched my pup, Coconut, for 7 nights and was incredibly responsive to me and gave me daily updates. She is responsible and has a dog of her own you can tell she takes great care of. It also helps that her and her partner are at home full time to give your dog great love and care! I would highly recommend her.”
“They are a great team. They cared very well for my dog and made him feel at home. They were very flexible with drop off and pick up times. Took lots a great pictures. A very pleasant and positive experience with Sarah and Ben. I’m sure I’ll use them again.”
“Milena & Joe were great! So comforting to know your pet is happy and well cared for when you are away. Hooper looked happy & healthy in every picture & video Milena sent us throughout the week. Will definitely ask Milena & Joe again anytime we need to go away.”
“Roxanne did a great job! She sent us super detailed updates on our dog which helped us feel comfortable and she was flexible and communicative. Her daughter was also a pro with our dog! We would definitely use her again”
“Michele was the perfect sitter to watch our rescue dog while we were in town for an event. She took the time to introduce our dog to the space before meeting the other dogs, and was overall so understanding. Our normally shy dog cuddled right up and really enjoyed her time with Michele!”
“It was great meeting Trish and our dog, Harper, hit it off with her instantly. She is very genuine and made us feel very comfortable with leaving our young dog for the first time. Harper is a 9 month old mini goldendoodle who is still working out his training and puppy energy. Trish kept us updated and sent photos daily. We unfortunately had to cut our trip short due to a family matter but will not hesitate to use Trish again in the future.”
“Nadya took excellent care of our 10 year-old Golden Retriever while we went to the Cape for a few days. She was great at communicating how our Sophie was doing and sent pictures of her looking relaxed. We would recommend Nadya to anyone who needs to bring their pet for an overnight stay.”
“I was so happy to find Mathew and Jennifer to watch my girl Bailey. Immediately I knew she would be well cared for. They responded right away and enjoyed her with their dog . I was sent pictures. I would say they are a great family and would take care of your pet !”
“Misty had a great time staying at Stefani and her family’s home. When I first came to there home for a meet a greet, I was surprised to see Christopher, Stefani’s little boy, waiting at the door step calling out for Misty. He was super excited. He treated Misty as his own. Stefani was very flexible with me especially when I arrived late to pick Misty up. There home is dog friendly and her husband even built a ramp for the dogs to go to the backyard without having to climb the stairs. Stefani sent me great pictures of Misty that I posted some online. I would board Misty again at Stefani’s home.”
“Millie absolutely loved her time with Larisa and Daisy! Larisa made sure to keep me updated on their daily adventures and send lots of pictures. Millie took multiple trips to the beach and walks at the bogs. We are very happy with the service and support Millie received while staying the weekend 😊 We will definitely reach out again for any pet sitting needs!”
“My Cavalier King Charles, Sammy, was well cared by Endy and her family. She has a nice house and yard and lives near a few dog parks. Endy is very accommodating, responsive and friendly and I will be using her dog sitting services again in the near future. I would recommend Endy for doggy daycare or overnight stays.”
“Super excited for this review because she did an amazing job! The communication could not have been better. Pictures and updates the entire trip we were away and Roly had an amazing time! We could not recommend more. A+ 10/10 Thank you”
“The Whitney family welcomed Koyuki with open hearts and treated her like a member of their own family. They took wonderful care of her and kept us constantly updated on how she was doing, which allowed us to enjoy our trip with complete peace of mind. We would absolutely love to ask the Whitney family to take care of Koyuki again in the future.Thank you so much!!”
“Patrice and her husband were so caring and kind with my dog Lily! We received updates and texts throughout her stay and felt she was in great hands. So helpful and accommodating and would definitely rebook!”

Faith watched our 4 month old puppy overnight and made the process seamless and made us feel so comfortable! She sent videos and pictures throughout the night. Puppies are not easy, so we appreciate her willingness to take him and treat him as her own! We will use Faith again for future services.
Breno was fantastic with our mini dachshund, Frankie. Frankie can be nervous and unsure in new situations, but they were able to get Frankie to relax quickly. We appreciated the frequent pictures and updates to help set our minds at ease that our dog was well taken care of. Thank you!
