“Suzi was very kind to my old Bucky. She took special care of him with his particular needs and limitations. I highly recommend her and will certainly use her again when I have the need.”
“Swetha and her husband took such good care of my rescue puppy over two back to back stays. This was my first time leaving her with a sitter, and after meeting Swetha I felt very assured that she could handle her while I was out of the country. Swetha sent regular updates with pictures, and my puppy had so much fun playing with her dog Pepper. If you are looking for someone who can handle energetic dogs and provide a loving and engaging environment, book with Swetha!!”
“Poornima took excellent care of Lilly, as she was very happy and healthy when we brought her home! We were so happy to receive regular updates while we were on vacation. We'll definitely be using Poornima again!”
“Our 2 senior dogs were well cared for during our week-long vacation. Iryna sent me frequent updates, lots of pictures, and videos. They always looked so happy. I especially loved the pictures of them snuggling with Iryna and her daughter, it really showed how comfortable they were. I'm pretty sure our dogs enjoyed their vacation just as much as we enjoyed ours. I will definitely be booking with James and Iryna for all of our future trips. Thank you for treating them like family!”
“This is the 3rd time Crosby stayed with NJ and she has been well taken care of each time! NJ is great with her and her big personality as a husky and we got plenty of updates while she was there.”
About: I have been a dedicated dog lover for years, caring for a variety of breeds for neighbors, friends, and family. As a former foster parent to several dogs before adopting one, I am experienced in helping pups of all temperaments feel safe and welcome in a new environment. Since I work from home, your pet will have constant supervision and companionship. I specialize in providing personalized attention to ensure your dog follows their usual feeding and exercise routine. My own well-trained dog is a friendly playmate for social guests, but I am also happy to provide solo time if preferred. Whether it's long walks or just snoozing by my desk, your pup will be treated like family. As a full-time work-from-home professional, my schedule is extremely flexible, allowing me to provide 24/7 supervision and companionship. Your pet will never be left alone for long periods. I structure my day around frequent potty breaks, backyard play sessions, and midday walks. Because I have experience fostering, I’m great at maintaining a consistent routine that helps guest pets feel secure. Whether your dog needs a high-energy game of fetch or a quiet place to nap while I work, I can easily adapt my day to meet their specific needs. Safety is my top priority. I have a fully fenced, secure yard where dogs can play safely under my supervision. As I work from home and have fostered many dogs, I have developed expertise in monitoring pet interactions and interpreting body language to ensure everyone is happy and comfortable. At home, I take a 'paws-on' approach. I am happy to use crates for sleeping or meal times if that is what your pet is used to, or they can lounge freely in my office while I work. I treat every guest pet with the same level of care and trust I give my own well-trained pup, ensuring a stress-free stay for both you and your furry friend.
“First time using Rover and also leaving our puppy Enzo. Lorena made the process so comforting and easy. She sent picture/video updates every day and kept us informed of what he did daily. She also was super patient as Enzo is only 4 months old and although he has potty training down at home not so much at her place. He also was not used to being around other dogs but Lorena had another dog with her that she slowly got Enzo used to being around during his stay. I would definitely reach out to Lorena again for boarding! Thanks Lorena for keeping our little guy safe and happy! :)”
“Sophia took amazing care of our dog and sent several pictures of her daily. I was up-to-date on how she was doing the entire time. We would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Heather and my pup seemed to get along great! Thankful for the kindness, care, and thoroughness during his stay. Will book again as my new normal sitter whenever possible :)”
“Tamara was an amazing sitter to our two dogs! Both dogs (one a recent rescue) were immediately comfortable with her. She was very responsive and gave us frequent updates so we didn’t have to worry at all about how the dogs were doing. She was also very flexible with our pick up time when our flight was canceled and we got home much later than expected. We will definitely book again in the future!!”
“Catherine took great care of Andy during this visit. Andy was experiences stomach upset and the recommended increasing his feeding from twice a day to 4 times. Catherine accommodated this request. Fin was a great playmate to Andy. Andy came back healthy and happy 😊”
“My Lucky got a very very good caring. Denise is very professional and thoughtful. She treated my Lucky as her kid. Everyday she spent a lot of time to company with Lucky, walked outside couple times a day and took many wonderful pictures. My Lucky is picky about food, Denise feed her with high patience and caring. Denise's service is perfect and we will of course choose her in future.”
“We have boarded Margot with Wyatt a few times and he always makes us feel comfortable that she is in good hands! He is very responsive and accommodating with schedule changes. Margot will definitely be back!”
“Basil found her home away from home! Yulia and Chuck went above and beyond to make sure Basil had a nice routine and plenty of exercise! I appreciated the quick communication and many pupdates during her stay! Would recommend to everyone :)”
“Jane is sweet, kind, funny, and just fabulous! She sent me regular emails every day to tell me how Greylock's day went, with lots of photos of him playing or lounging around. The atmosphere there is calm and peaceful, and I know my dog really enjoyed having her there with him most of the day and opportunities to roam around in her backyard. She even washed him before I picked him up! I wouldn't hesitate to bring him there again. It's the best petsitting option I've found in his 13 years of life. I felt completely at ease while on vacation, knowing he was in great hands.”
“My lab mix Lenny, had a great 2 night stay. Lowell and his family were wonderful, and Lenny looked like he was having a blast playing with Bonnie and the others. I would highly recommend!”

Beyza took wonderful care of our 11-year-old kitty, Rosie, while my husband and I were away on bereavement leave. She regularly sent photos, videos, and thoughtful updates about how Rosie was doing, including sweet moments of her exploring and getting comfortable in her home. I also loved that Beyza had a couple of other sweet kitties for Rosie to get to know and socialize with. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Rosie was in a loving, caring environment while we were away. I’m so grateful for the care and attention Beyza gave Rosie! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again!
Lauren is a great sitter. My dog felt at home at her place. Her dog lulu is such a gentle dog. I got updates on daily basis. They followed all his schedules. He stayed with them for 7 days. And my dog has not picked any bad habits. I am grateful she was available during this time.
Tatiana was a very sweet caregiver for both my dog and cat. She provided them with walks and exercise. I think they both were spoiled with the amount of care they each received. My dog seemed to love having other dogs around to play with or was was just happy to relax. I think they didn’t want to come home. Tatiana communicate very well with me photos and videos of each of them playing or laying around just so I can see they were OK. I would highly recommend her to anyone if they ask me where should they go for a pet sitter.
Perry did great with Moo! She is very attentive and sent us lots of photos every day, all of which indicated that Moo was very comfortable and calm - a big deal for a dog with anxiety! Definitely a testament to how great of a sitter Perry is. Perry also managed a course of ear drops for us when we found out Moo had an ear infection the day we were scheduled to leave, which was extremely helpful! We’re very grateful to have found a sitter that made our girl so comfortable.
Selina took wonderful care of my senior dog, Scooter, while I was traveling. She was kind, flexible, and very easy to communicate with, including when I needed to extend his stay. She sent sweet updates and photos, and it was obvious Scooter was comfortable and loved while he was there. He even got attached to their “dog blanket,” which was adorable. I really appreciated the extra care, flexibility with pickup times, and how safe I felt leaving him with her. I would definitely book with Selina again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter. Thank you!
Sherina has been an awesome dog sitter. She was sending updates everyday and our dog Leo was super happy going to her. Leo was very happy coming home and I could tell Leo was well taken care. I would leave Leo with Sherina in a heartbeat. I would highly recommend Sherina for all your doggy care needs.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
