“Many thanks to Phyllis and her husband for taking great care of our two dogs. They are great — very responsive, professional and loving! We look forward to seeing them at the end of the month when we are at a wedding!”
“Thank you soo much for keeping creed ! My nervousness definitely went away once I saw how cared for and happy he was . I loved how he was accepted and the outside activities paired with photos each day made me so happy . I can’t wait for him to come back ! Your attentiveness and quick response also made this a perfect pairing”
“Prince absolutely loves it when I bring him here while I’m away. Joanna always takes good care of my baby. Going above and beyond. Very much so appreciated. Will be rebooking again soon”
“Tamara is a sweetheart! We were in town for the Stones concert and needed a sitter for the night! She was very nice, prompt and kept us updated. Our Boston, Maggie, loved her and had a great time. Next time we are passing thru town we will definitely contact Tamara. Thanks so much!”
“Angelina was phenomenal with my older, sweet but anxious pup. She was very gentle with him and understood the needs of an older dog well. She took her time acclimating him to his environment and the other pups. She sent many sweet pics and messages, knowing I was a little nervous about how he’d do, because he hadn’t been with a sitter for some time. Angelina is a wonderful sitter and a kind, loving soul. I was completely at ease knowing my pup was in good hands and we’ll surely he booking with her again. So happy to have found such a gem of a sitter. Thank you, Angelina!”
“Great communication. Very friendly and wonderful with the pets (cat and dog). Felt very comfortable they were well taken care of during our week long vacation.”
“My dog was so calm after I picked him up boarding with Kyla. Energetically, I could tell that he was very well taken care of with her - no stress, no anxiety, just peace. TY KYLA!!!”
“Michelle and family took great care of Penny- even coming up with new tasty food items for my picky girl. I really appreciate how well she is taken care of which allows me to have peace of mind while away”
“Simply the best! This is our first time leaving our Bruno with a dog sitter and Christina made it so comforting and easy for us. Great communication and her love of animals is evident by her care. 5+ 🐾”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every dog as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has a different personality, comfort level, and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I adapt to their needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m dependable, attentive, communicative, and genuinely enjoy being around dogs. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, walks, routines, administering basic medications if needed, and providing updates/photos so you feel at ease while away. My goal is to create a warm, low-stress environment where your dog feels comfortable, cared for, and happy — not just watched. It would truly be an honor to care for your dog and give them the same love and attention every pet deserves. Daily and evening care including walks, feedings, playmate, bath time and bed time with any other activities including the dog park when availabe based on weathe. Pets are free to roam while I am home and crated when I need to run errands. They are treated like the rest of the family.
“Micah and I love Sarai. She has a very warm and caring spirit. I locked her in as my favorite. She is best nanny. You never have to worry she provides daily updates on your fur baby. 20 stars!💕💚”
“Sarah was excellent! She sent us photos and updates of our dog Gus while we were out of the country for two weeks. She was understanding and able to care for our senior dog with special needs. Would highly recommend!”
“We felt very comfortable leaving our Cookie with Ann. Ann sent pics and updates to us on how Cookie was doing. Ann was great and I would definitely use her as a sitter again!”
About: Tengo experiencia cuidando el perrito de mi hija por 10 años. No trabajo y estamos en casa el mayoría del día.

Cuando salimos aseguramos que el perrito sale al baño y tiene todo lo que necesita Tenemos yarda muy grande con fence. Los perritos pueden salir cuando quieran. Tengo una perrita Pom que se porta muy bien con otros perritos y hace bien compañía.
“We had a positive experience boarding our rambunctious pointer puppy over Christmas. Because of our flight schedules Judith was very flexible with pickup and dropoff for no additional charge. We would book again.”
“Ethel has cared for our Luna multiple times over the last year and we cannot say enough about how awesome Ethel is. Luna comes home happily exhausted after her fun stays with Ethel and Ethel’s dog Tutsi. Ethel provides plenty of photo and text updates while on their walks and visits to the dog park. She’s responsive to messages, and she’s flexible and accommodating for dropoff and pickup. Ethel is so incredibly kind, and we always know Luna is in good hands with her. We’re so grateful to have found Ethel and you will be, too.”
“Jaqueline was super accommodating when my partner and I needed a last minute sitter for our high energy dog. We were worried about her being around other dogs, but she and Casper had zero issues together. Jacqueline sent us photos throughout our 10 day trip and provided updates that really made us feel okay leaving her with someone, especially since she has anxiety issues. She calmed down after only a day or so and felt very comfortable with Jacqueline. We would definitely rebook with her if we need another sitter.”

Barbara is fantastic. She has watched my 8-year old Shih Tzu for a weekend and then 10 days. Both times Barbara was responsive, easy to communicate with, kept me updated, and was understanding when my flight was cancelled! My dog loved staying with Barbara. She has a nice yard, takes them for walks, and even has a wide variety of toys for the dogs to play with. My dog also lost an eye and takes eye medication. Barbara had no trouble giving him the medication and also made sure his face was clean (not easy with Shih Tzus but important)! She is my go to dog sitter and a pleasure to work with!!
I recently had a 2½‑week vacation planned and was nervous about leaving my anxious dog, Teddy, for the first time. Angelina was incredibly accommodating and thoughtful from the very beginning. We arranged a couple of day visits and a few overnight stays ahead of my trip so Teddy could slowly adjust to her home and routine. Angelina was wonderfully attentive to Teddy’s needs, especially with feeding—he’s a picky eater, and she went the extra mile to make sure he was comfortable and eating well. By the third visit, Teddy was running happily to her door, tail wagging, and that’s when I knew I had found the perfect person to care for him. While I was away, she sent daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Teddy had a blast playing with the other dogs, and I can tell he truly misses them! I highly recommend Angelina to anyone looking for a caring, patient, and reliable sitter. She made a stressful situation feel easy, and Teddy absolutely adored her. 💙🐶💙
This is my 7 year old, Shih Tzu’s 3rd time with Sarai & she loves it over there. She’s always ready & available with a positive, welcoming attitude to Jazz & helps her feel comfortable Sarai’s communication/updates can sometime be a little off, but she eventually gets back to me in 24 hours or less. Jazz always comes back happy & healthy.
Sandra was absolutely wonderful in taking care of Ellie! From our initial meeting to the final pickup, everything was seamless and stress-free. She kept us updated regularly with pictures and made sure Ellie was happy and comfortable throughout. We truly appreciate her care and attention. Thank you, Sandra—We will definitely use your service again!
We had a great experience with Chloe. She and her boyfriend took great care of our little boy during our trip. Communications were easy. They are very detailed and took the time to learn about our boy’s habits & likes/dislikes to make sure he has a comfortable stay. We would definitely have them watch our boy again.
