“We had a very positive meet and greet with Denis and Nikki and their children and Thunder, their dog, awhile back, immediately after which we booked our dog Bailey for an overnight stay that's still to come. But unexpectedly this week I needed daycare for Bailey and so I decided to book Denis and Nikki to see how things went for just a day's stay. I am very pleased to report that it seems to have gone very well. Bailey apparently had a calm and peaceful stay there and got along with everyone, enjoying the opportunity to wander around a nice yard (which she doesn't have at home). Denis and Nikki are very welcoming and responsive, and seem to really love dogs and enjoy looking after them. Their home is well prepared to host doggy guests, with a safety gate inside the front door and lots of places in the house for dogs to make themselves comfortable. I received pictures and a Rover report at the end of the day, listing walks and other notable things that took place, which was nice. I have never had that level of detail provided before with other sitters. I feel very confident about Bailey's upcoming overnight stay, and I'm sure we'll be booking with Denis and Nikki in the future. Thanks for taking good care of Bailey, D & N!”


About: I have had dogs and watched family and friends dogs since I was a kid. I used to volunteer at a dog shelter in the city, and raised a puppy until he found his forever home for around a year. I work locally and have flexibility to work from home as needed! I am at home all day Fridays and all weekend, and weeknights after 5pm. I have a fully fenced and gated in yard with lighting and will not let your pup out of my sight! I also have a camera at home for if I’m ever out of the house.


About: My wife, Jana, and I have been dog lovers our entire lives. Currently, we're proud parents to our wonderful pup, Lula. Lula is a 75lb Komondor-mix. Recently, we said goodbye to our other beloved senior dog, so we understand the unique needs and joys of older dogs. We'd love to open our home to another dog, if only temporarily, to bring some companionship to Lula and fill our hearts with double joy once again. Rest assured, your furry friend will be treated like family while you're away. We can't wait to welcome them into our home with open arms! Jana and I both work from home, ensuring that there's always someone around during the day to provide company and care for your pet. Occasionally, we may step out for a meal or activity in the evenings or on weekends, but your pet will never be left unattended for more than a few hours at a time. Our cozy home boasts a fenced backyard, providing a safe haven for your pet. We enjoy daily walks in our scenic and relaxing neighborhood, ensuring your dog gets plenty of fresh air and exercise if desired. Our dog Lula is e-collar trained, and is playful with other dogs & humans

About: I’m comfortable taking care of all types of pups, small, big, and even huge! Have only three years of experience but have been walking dogs full time ever since I’ve started :) want to make sure your pup is taken care of and safe at all times! I am a grad student at Northwestern University, however I have lots of extra time when I’m not in classes to give your pup all the attention they need :) I do live in an apartment, but during boarding, me and the pups will go on lots of walks, runs, hikes, whatever your pup needs.

“Philly loves visiting Sarah and her golden Max! Sarah is so warm and accomodating, I felt so at ease knowing Philly was safe and having fun while I was at work all day.”


About: I've been fortunate to own my last dog for 11 years. I miss him so much. Hope to share my love for dogs with your pup. I can train and take care of the dogs from poppies to seniors. Currently, I work from home and is able to offer frequent and long walks and plenty of attention. I'm available any day of the week. No fenced yard by plenty parks and trails to walk around the neighborhood. Good behavior is reinforced with attention and treats. I make sure dogs always have water available.

About: I am a forever dog lover! Growing up with an 100lb lab and a small beagle, I know how to take care of dogs of all sizes! I recently graduated from the University of Michigan and am home for the summer before moving to NYC! Spending time with dogs is the perfect way for me to spend my last summer at home! At home, I love to give my dog Milo all the attention, but I also know how to make sure he respects space (he’s a very big boy). I would do the same in a clients home—making sure the pet feels taken care of but also respecting any rules or boundaries the client might have.

About: I have cared for and loved dogs since the age of 12. From puppies to senior dogs I have experienced it all. Our pets are part of the family and deserve love and care as such. I have trained 3 puppies, am well versed in dog training and take all safety precautions. I walk my own dog rain or shine and would love to have your dog along for our little adventures! I have a fenced in yard for free play and a park near by for walks. I have spaces available for in home doggie daycare and overnights as well as occasional walks. Let your mind be at ease knowing your doggo is safe and having fun with me! I have a fenced in yard and 1 sweet male golden retriever/ husky named Mr. Blue. He was socialized since puppyhood and loves to play with other dogs.

About: I have raised and taken care of many different animals for 14 years. Cats, dogs, hamsters, lizards, ferrets, and even a pair of sugar gliders! When my friends and families needed me to take care of their pets I was always there for them. I have experience in both dog sitting and cat sitting and love hanging out with them throughout the day. Raised two kittens to their senior years. One of whom is still thriving at age 16! He has transformed from a house cat to a cat who ventures outdoors now. I have excellent attention to detail and I am happy to accommodate to your pet and any special requests! Looking forwards to meeting you and your pet soon! I work or a hybrid work from home schedule along with my partner who works from home full-time. We should be at home everyday so pets will get our attention at all times of the day. Walks can be handled two to three times a day for dogs. As well as play time for cats and dogs sprinkled throughout the day. I tend to play with animals for at least an hour each day so that they get their exercise in. I like to groom my pets so that their isn’t excess hair flying around the home. Walks for dogs can be scheduled with me whether they need 2 or more walks throughout the day.

“Alexis is great! We have a very energetic, Shepard-mix puppy who is 1 year old, that needs a lot of love and patience! Alexis has jumped in to help run out our pup's energy while we are at work and we couldn't be happier with her help! She is kind, generous and reliable! Not only is she great with our pup but she is extremely trustworthy. This is a huge plus since she enters our home alone, while we were gone or working. Don't look any further, Alexis is your gal! Your pets will be happy and well cared for and you will have peace of mind!”
