“Jason was a tremendous help while I was on vacation and learned that my dad was about to pass away. Initially, he was to keep my dog for a week, but because I had to fly home because of my dad’s eventual passing and to prepare the funeral arrangements, Jason kindly extended my booking twice during the whole ordeal, and at a discounted rate. He was very empathetic, and told me not to worry about my dog, which alleviated so much of a very stressful situation. This was my second time using Jason, and I will continue to do so in the future.”
“Ashley was great with giving photo updates on my dog’s stay at her home. We met briefly the day before and drop off the morning of was easy! She was flexible with times and was very kind. Would definitely book her again. :)”
“What a wonderful feeling to take a vacation and know our Lacey is in good hands with Josh. She stayed with Josh and we didn't worry about her once. He walked with her and played with her and made sure she had everything she needed. Thank you...thank you....thank you Josh for your care of our Lacey Lou! I would highly recommend him!!!”
“Tiffany was great! Lucy enjoyed her time there. I think she has a crush on Fargus. We received update photos daily. This is definitely as pet friendly with with great caretakers. We will book with her again for our next trip”
“Trish was amazing with Finnegan! She was super responsive and I could tell from the pictures and videos she was sending me that he had a blast. I will definitely be bringing Finn back to her and I highly recommend others to do the same.”
“Christina took great care of my Archie while I was out of town for the weekend. Her prices are a great deal and she took care of my puppy like he was her own. I hate leaving my baby, but Christina sent lots of pictures and always responded quickly when I reached out. Will definitely be booking again!”
“A safe, happy, relaxed place for dogs. Scout was welcomed into the pack and happy to have friends. Jake has a calm, confident way with his pack that my dog loves being part of. I'm waiting for the pic of rebel Scout on the dining table 🤣”
About: I’ve owned a dog since I was 10 years old. I currently have 2 dogs living at home in New York. I also have experience in dog training at Art of Dog in Buffalo. I have worked with dogs as large as a great dane and as small as a chihuahua, as well as senior dogs and puppies. I’ve worked with crate trained dogs, dogs on an e-collar and prong collar. I am currently a graduate student taking only 3 classes a semester and plenty of time for dog (and cat!) sitting and walking. I have one class a day Monday - Thursday. Weekends are free. I would prefer to care for dogs in clients homes, but can take care of small dogs from my apartment if needed. I do have a yard that is not fenced. I live on a safe street and dogs will always be leashed outside. I do not have a crate, but can take clients dog crate for the stay. I have access to a car.
“Left my 3 dogs with him and can say It went great! I got daily updates and felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands, I would definitely board again! Thank you So Much, Nathan!”
“Went above and beyond took great care of my pup definitely would recommend. Sent daily updates and cute pictures and best of all she didn’t put my pup in a cage the whole time so she was always able to stretch her legs whenever she wanted.”
About: I always knew I had this nature since I was little, on taking care of animals. I always want to protect them and make sure they are well, because I love them very much and I get upset when an animal is not okay. Been taking care of animals since I was 5 years old. I currently do not have a full time job but I do have offers around and I want to experience with this app too. My availability depends if I have an interview or I have to do an orientation. I currently have to go to Chicago every week starting on the 16 but I can do weekends. I am very exited, can’t wait to meet all these animals :) My house it is pretty big, and is very safe, there is no kids around and we can always place something on the side for them to stay put into one place !
“Brooke was communicative, understanding of accomodations for our dogs, and sent lots of photos! We would definitely recommend her. The dogs came back home very tired after a great day playing with the other dogs.”
“James was kind and attentive to Junes needs, he took her on nice long walks to tire her out and sent a few updates! James is very easy to communicate with and understands dogs wells! We greatly appreciated how he cared for our dog!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker! He was highly communicative when it came to how my pet was doing as well as sending pictures. Very patient and helpful, especially good with younger dogs!!!”
“Sidney was really awesome. She suggested we meet before she cared for my Fur baby. We ended up meeting via FaceTime, she showed me me her clean and organized home which definitely gave me a nice piece of mind. She ask really important questions! Once she had Contess she followed up with me constantly, took my girl on multiple walks, sent me pictures and videos and Countess loves her and Humby (the other cute pup she was also sitting in her home).”
“Emily took care of my Bucky for 5 days while I took a trip back to my hometown. She always kept up updated and sent lots of pictures of him ! It help me feel calm and relieved knowing he was in good hands while I was away and was having so much fun with bowser and odie !! I would definitely recommend her for pet sitting your babies!”
