“Keasha and her family took great care of Bagel! I was confident that my dog was in good hands. Will certainly come back to Keasha when I travel again. I can’t recommend her enough.”


“Matthew was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Teddie! From the start, he was incredibly kind and communicative, which helped us feel at ease. Teddie is an older pup who recently had back surgery, and Matthew was not only understanding of his needs but also made sure he was comfortable and well cared for throughout the stay. It was clear Teddie felt at home with him right away. We’re so grateful for the thoughtful care Matthew provided—thank you for taking such good care of our sweet boy!”


“Daniel is very kind, caring and considerate. He took in our 16+ year old dog, who has a bit special personality, really working on getting her comfortable. We would highly recommend him and with ease leave our little dog with him many more times.”

“What a fantastic pet sitter! She sent updates and pics during our time away assuring us that Yoshi was doing great. She even gave us a goody bag when we picked Yoshi up. We will definitely be using Alyssa again!”


“Noodle had a great time at Zachary's - Zachary sent photos each day of Noodle running around the dog run nearby, he seemed very happy and was in good spirits when we came to pick him up. Noodle often requires help getting onto our bed but when since he's been home he has had no issues leaping up unassisted! Would definitely use Zachary's boarding services again and highly recommend without any reservations.”


“I really appreciate that Leanne and her family are always so attentive to my dogs’ needs, especially since my dog has been having some health issues recently. My dogs are always well taken care of!”


“Anely made my boys feel like they were on vacation. She provided timely updates and fun pictures. We would definitely feel comfortable having them stay with Anely again.”



“Karen was absolutely wonderful with our girl Gracie. We have never left her with anyone before. Karen made sure we had a meet and greet to make sure Gracie and Karen’s pups and cats got along. She sent pictures and updates everyday! Also gave me some suggestions on how to deal with her “accidents” in the house. We will definitely use Karen again as Gracie was so comfortable with her and her fur babies. We loved her!!”


“Elba has been nothing but incredible. She has been great at communicating and making sure I know how my dogs are doing. One of my dogs requires a lot of patience after suffering from a traumatic brain injury, Elba has gone above and beyond to meet my dog where she’s at. I’m very grateful and content with the services Elba has provided.”



“Our dog Katie loved her overnights with Jessica, Justin and Abu. Jessica was amazing and made it so I did not have to worry at all. She treated our dog like family and I would highly recommend Jessica if you are looking for a dog sitter!! She sent plenty of updates so I was assured that all was well. Katie made herself right at home and helped herself to Abu’s toys, etc. Jessica has a great fenced in backyard and Katie spent much time outside with her new friend. When she came home she slept all day!!! Katie can’t wait to go back. Great experience ?”


“Joe provided phenomenal care of our dogs. He was very responsive and made sure to keep us updated. His level of care and knowledge about dogs is impressive. Will definitely be using him again and recommending to others as well”


“Sarah is an excellent communicator and very careful. We had a meet and greet within 24 hours of my request to book where she asked lots of questions to ensure Cooper’s stay would go smoothly. She sent photos and daily updates and was flexible with pickup. I will definitely rebook with Sarah.”


“Mollanna did a great job watching our dog! She sent a lot of updates and pictures. We were thankful she was open to a last minute booking and she gave him a lot of love, food, and treats. The only initial concern was not a closed backyard but she has a long leash to allow them outside. We would definitely book again.”


“My dog, Buddy, stays with Cristina when I am visiting family in Pawtucket. Buddy is very comfortable with Cristina and likes playing with dogs in her care. He especially likes to cuddle with Cristina on her sofa.”

“Very attentive and clearly cares about animals. I always felt like she had my cat’s best interest at heart. My cat had free roam of a finished basement plus an optional “catio”! Highly recommend if you need to board your cat somewhere.”
