“Kendra was absolutely amazing. From the moment I walked in I knew Scout would be well cared for and would also have a fun furry companion to play with. Kendra is very attentive to details, warm, welcoming to cuddle a sometimes shy dog and my pup enjoyed lots of exercise and play. Thank you Kendra!”


About: Hello! My name is Clara and I adore dogs. I grew up with 2 rambunctious boxers and was heavily involved in their puppy training and continued care. I now have the sweetest, little beagle mix of my own who is a gentle senior. She loves spending time with other dogs and so this is no barrier to accepting other dogs into my apartment! I am a medical student and also have abundant experience as a medical assistant and home health aid. Caring for others - whether dogs or humans - is my biggest passion and skill. I hope you give me the joy of caring for your dog! I’m a medical student so in general, drop in visits and walks work best for me on the weekends or at nighttime! However, I do have an ever changing schedule so please inquire for more information. I can easily crate your dog if needed, but am also happy to let them roam free if that is their preference. Your dog will always be leashed when I take them outside my apartment for walks. I love to take dogs out frequently (every 0-2 hours), so they get lots of outdoors time and stimulation! I also love playing games like tug of war. I truly have a very flexible schedule and can adapt to what your pet needs!

“Josie was amazing with my pup! Not only was she very communicative, she was very thoughtful and assuring that my pup would be taken care of ! My pup loved it there and came back happy and even more energetic! I would highly recommend Josie and definitely plan to rebook in the future !!”


About: I've taken care of others and my own pets of all sizes and ages. I'm also good with giving medicines to seniors. Fur babies are family in my house! I'm available for boarding and daily walks. Most days of the week, have time for long hikes as well. I have timer over the week for more play and cuddles. I have a nice large fenced yard for your pet to run, play or just laze around in. Lost of trails are easy walking distance from my place, so they'll enjoy a good hike. Your pet will be the only fur baby so will get my full attention and cuddles.


About: My family has had dogs all of my life. I personally trained our family dog when I was between the ages of 10-12. My husband and I currently have a senior dog at home (10 year old Newfoundland) that I lovingly care for. I will be working part time (three days per week) starting in October but am currently not working for the next couple of months so I have very open availability (likely every day). I have a very friendly, docile dog (a spayed female Newfoundland) at home to keep your doggies company while staying in our home. My husband and I live in a large single family home. The house is 2 stories but we typically keep our dog on the bottom floor due to her age. All staircases have the ability to be closed off with a door. We have an unfenced yard. We have a very walkable neighborhood that allows for long walks if that is what your dog likes. I am a very active person who exercises daily so I can accommodate high energy pups! We also allow pets on the furniture if cuddling is more your dog's thing!

“Reichel was great, her communication was always prompt. Xander had a wonderful time with her. I appreciated the photos she sent letting me know he was in good hands. I can tell Xander really liked Reichel as he would not get into the car as he watched her walk safely to her home. I will definitely use Reichel again.”


“We’ve used Rover five times now and I would say that I was the most happy and comforted with Sweta watching Bruin. She shared multiple pictures and videos every day and was flexible enough to let him stay another day when our flights were delayed until late at night. I would highly recommend their services”


“I am very happy with Kelsie’s one month stay with Jeremiah and Tamara and family. She came back healthy and playful. Pictures were sent to me regularly with update comments which I appreciated very much. I will not hesitate to board Kelsie (and her new brother) again with Jeremiah et al.”


“Recently we lost one of our two dogs. We had a trip planned for only a couple weeks later and had to board our second dog alone for the first time. Gabe was an excellent choice and probably the most knowledgeable in training that we have had so far! He was communicative, responsible, and made us feel completely confident while we were gone! Definitely will be giving him a call again for our trips.”


About: I’ve cared for many dogs of different ages and problems. I will take your dog for a walk. I have a good yard. I’m very reliable and trustworthy. I would be with your pet most of the day. Unless I have to run errands. The pet will have my apartment to roam. I generally only do one dog at a time except if they come as a pair. My yard is partially fenced. I would take your pet on on walks with the leashes. The dogs have free range of my apartment. Thanks!

“Would highly recommend her. I left my dog with her for 10 days initially than extended to 12 days. She is prompt on responses and accommodating any special request. I am definitely going back to her”


“Sue has watched my two pups twice now and I cannot express enough at how grateful and lucky I feel to have found her! She truly loves dogs and I know when they are there that they are being cared and loved for exactly as if they were home. My dogs are attached at my hip, but when we get to Sue’s house, they are clearly so happy to be with her that it makes leaving them a LOT easier. Sue has been able to set my mind at ease (which is not a simple task!) and is very trustworthy. I highly recommend her services, she is now definitely my go-to sitter!”


“Everything went great , my dog was calm and happy the day I brought her home from being boarded. Erika sent a good amount of photos during her stay. I will definitely book again in the future.”


“Our golden retriever was well cared for and obviously comfortable with Thomas and Amy. Thomas took the time to give our pup a good brushing, and he was happy upon pickup. Would recommend and use in the future!”


About: Hi, my name is Asia. I am an animal owner, caretaker, enthusiast, and most importantly LOVER! I have been in the pet industry for quite some time now, and along my journey have picked up many skills in pet caretaking and handling. I have knowledge in areas of medicine, handling, care taking, walking, and FUN! Through my journey, I have worked as a veterinary technician for about five years, and after the pandemic, with time realized that I wanted to see more happy animals than hurt. Although it is an indescribable reward to see and help our beloved pets heal, it is a heavy toll to bare that I have recognized is not what I wanted to continue growing a career in. Instead, I have decided to venture into an entrepreneurial life, with hopes of opening up my own pet spa and hotel, to care and treat your furry angels, while you and the family are away. My goal is to expand my expertise, and use this platform to build up a steady clientele list to transfer over to my future establishment *manifesting!*. I have a strong love and passion for all animals of all species and sizes. I have 7 years of hands on animal experience. I attended Worcester Tech for high school, and graduated with an AVA through the veterinary assisting program. I then got hired by my co-opportunity job site through high school, and continued to work there as I was being trained in veterinary technician schools. I then moved to Colorado, for a few months, and worked as a veterinary technician at an emergency/GP for eight months, being trained in more and more technical skills. I now try and take continuing education courses, and educate myself on the veterinary world as well as zoology, to try and work around my extenuating circumstances currently prohibiting me from school. I am knowledgeable of the different diseases your furry friends may have, as well as how to properly manage and care for them. I get my work schedules a month in advance and try to be as flexible as possible so don’t hesitate to reach with any questions. I believe I can be the perfect fit as a caregiver to all of your furry legged friends, due to my experience, passion, and a positive attitude. Any questions that you have, feel free to ask, and I'm excited to work with you and beloved pet(s). I currently work at a veterinary hospital and love to continue my job of caring for our furry friends outside of my day job as well. I also come home to my 3 cats and 2 dogs, so pet care for me is never ending, just like the love I have for them. When your pets are in my care, they will be closely monitored with care. We’ll get to know each, spend time together, go slow if we have to, and overall get acclimated to one another to create an overall stress free experience for everyone, during the times we are together I am pretty flexible, however the sooner the better. Most of the time, I am able to adjust my schedule to align with my bookings. First come, first serve. I will keep a close eye and watch on your furry loved ones at all times. I pay close attention to behavior and body language during all visits, as those are key take aways

About: Since I was 4, I've been caring for all kinds of animals, especially dogs. At one time as a kid, we had 4 Great Danes! I've had mixed breeds and purebreds, athletes and couch potatoes, puppies, seniors, and special needs. I've also trained them although I've never been certified. Something common that friends say after their dog has spent a week or more with me is "how come my dog is now better behaved?" Your neighborhood or mine, the local park, the dog park, or on dog friendly trails. One dog or many. Having had all kinds of pets, including a 23 year old cat who required daily fluids and Miralax because of kidney failure and old cat dry colon, a dog that suffered seizures, and others. I even had a big 7 pound black and white adult rabbit that I found dumped in the state forest; she was litter box trained, had the run of the house, used the big dog crate as her private home, and would take turns playing chasing the 93 pound dog. I've just always seemed to understand them and vice versa. I even enjoy caring for dogs that are hyper! Just let me know first in case I've got low energy dogs with me. I work remotely, set my schedule, and nothing makes me happier that being with and doing things with dogs. Dog park? Trails? Sure, if your beast is up for it. Play dates? Why not! Up for playing with my dog who is vaccinated for probably everything or wants to chase and be chased? Not a problem. Special needs or a senior? Just let me know. I have a fenced yard and a happy, boisterous 5 year old, 57 pound dog who adjusts his play style to what other dogs like. If he's too much for your dog, he takes correction from them, no problem, or I can put them in different places. He even lets little dogs beat him up without protest and if your dog likes rough play, he'll accomodate. He's happy and loves people and dogs. He has zero resource guarding issues; if your's does, he'll give them space.

“Maryjane and Craig were wonderful hosts for our little girl. Great communication, friendly and easy to talk to, clearly they both have a love for animals. We also received baby updates and photos of our girl and she was very happy at their home! We've already booked a repeat stay!”


“Kathy was great through out my dogs stay. Very communicative and flexible with drop off and pick up. She sent a lot of pictures and regular check points. Overall very happy with kathy and would definitely recommend.”

Sujatha K.
“Sujatha is an exceptional pet sitter and a true animal lover. She has cared for two generations of my cats, ranging in age from 4 months to 20 years, over the past siz years. Her bond with my cats is remarkable—they adore her and look forward to her visits. Her dedication goes beyond basic care. She ensures the litter box is always clean, feeds them, refreshes their water, checks the water filter, and even monitors their comfort by adjusting the room temperature based on the weather and their behavior. She spends quality time playing with them, ensuring they are happy and relaxed. What sets Sujatha apart is her attention to detail and genuine compassion. She provides daily updates with photos and detailed reports, giving us peace of mind while we're away. Her kindness and professionalism have completely removed the stress of leaving our cats in someone else's care. I highly recommend Sujatha to anyone seeking a reliable, caring, and hardworking pet sitter. Your pets will be in the best hands!”
