“I cannot recommend Bennie and Jennie enough. We sent our two cats to stay with them and I have never been more satisfied with a cat sitter. Their space is very cat friendly, which my cats clearly loved for the many updates we received during their stay. One of our cats needed ear drops twice daily and they were amazing with this-giving them to her with seemingly minimal resistance based on the video and photo updates they sent for each medicine application time. It was clear the cats were comfortable and well taken care of during their stay. We will not hesitate to book again for the next time we need a cat sitter.”
“Hazel was well taken care of by Doug! He was very flexible with our drop off and pick up times. She went on plenty of walks and slept well when she got back home. I will be using Doug in the future!”
“Booked Thavery for 8 day boarding. She sent photos and updates of Harold on a daily basis. I felt at ease while Harold was in her care; she walks several times a day. And he likes hanging out with her Dexter, good company. I highly recommend!”
About: I am a stay at home mom with a great lifetime of experience caring for dogs. Dogs have always been a part of my home and family, and providing attentive, nurturing care comes naturally to me. Over the years, I have cared for many dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I am comfortable caring for young dogs, older dogs, and those who require special routines or medications. I am patient, observant, and gentle, and I focus on creating a peaceful, structured environment where dogs feel safe and relaxed. I believe in balancing activity with rest, offering appropriate play, outdoor time, and quiet moments based on each dog's individual needs. Because I am home full time, I am able to give dogs consistent supervision and adjust care as needed throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable, attentive care that closely resembles a home with family setting. I am home throughout the day, which allows me to provide dogs with consistent attention, care, and companionship. Because my schedule is very flexible, pets are not left alone for long periods and are closely monitored in a calm home environment. I am happy to accommodate a wide range of drop off and pick up times. When needed, trusted family members are nearby to help ensure continuity of care. My priority is making sure your dog always feels secure, attended to, and comfortable. My home includes a secure, enclosed yard that allows dogs to enjoy fresh air and outdoor time safely. There is ample room for movement, rest, and supervised play. follow each dog's feeding schedule exactly as requested and make sure clean water is available at all times. I take routines seriously and am very attentive to any specific instructions so your dog's daily habits and comfort are maintained while in my care.
“He lives in a great community with plenty of open spaces, parks, and trails. My dog looks very happy with him. He fed, walked, and played with my dog. He also sent me photos and videos how he took care of my dog. He is a dog lover and great carer.”
“SaeWon was incredible and the whole experience was smooth and easy. She was able to accommodate on short notice after our initial sitter plans fell through, and I was super grateful for that. Initially I was worried about Soleil staying with other dogs, but to our surprise, she got along great with the other dogs and it seems like she had a great time. She also sent us pictures and videos of them on walks and it was the cutest thing. I will definitely let her watch my dog in the future and would highly recommend it to others, it was fantastic.”
“Connie is by far the most wonderful sitter our little Maple has ever had. Connie was so kind, professional, playful, and clearly just loves dogs. Dog people are the best people, and Connie is the best of the best. She so clearly kept Maple on a wonderful schedule and sent incredible photos throughout the day. Maple came back having learned how to do high-fives and didn’t have a lapse in any of her recall, which means Connie worked with her on everything we train her with. I cannot recommend Connie enough, and feel so grateful to have found her.”
“Maria is such a caring and kind person. Always updating me regarding the health and safety of my puppy. She treated Akira as her family and made sure she was comfortable. She respected my instructions and politely asked if she can help with training or other activities. I would definitely recommend her and most definitely rebook in the future.”
“This is the first time we have had a pet sitter take care of Ralph. Charlene and her family are the best! They sent me pictures of Ralph every day. They made me feel at ease. Ralph seems to like them too. I would like to ask for her help again! Thank you very much!!”
“Kun did a fantastic job as always! This is my second time leaving Blue with her and I always receive updates and see that she is getting a ton of attention and care. Definitely recommend!”
“Grace is an amazing pet mom. She treated Ollie so well he was a bit disappointed I picked him up. She sent pictures throughout the day and kept me updated about their activities. He had a few outings and was well exercised by the time I got him. Grace was also very accommodating when my work event ran over and I picked up Ollie a few hours later than expected”
“1000/10!!! Our girl had the best week while we were gone! She had play time, lovely snacks, cuddles galore long walks, and so much more!! She became part of their family pack and we can’t thank Laura enough! Ginny even attended her first puppy birthday party for Milo!!! 💛💛💛 will be bring Ginny back anytime we need a boarder”
“Allison was exceptional, warm, and empathetic. Poppy bonded with her instantly, and she cared for him with genuine affection and attention. She stayed in touch with regular updates, showed great flexibility, and even took him out shopping, which was adorable. Her kindness and empathy made the entire experience feel natural, joyful, and reassuring.”
“Bridget was absolutely incredible with our boy! She and her family were so kind and caring, and updated us with lots of photos and videos. Our dog unexpectedly fell sick, and she not only immediately notified us, but took him to the emergency vet within minutes. She felt comfortable caring for him at home and he recovered well with her. Our dog became part of the family with her, and we would not hesitate to ask Bridget to watch him again in the future. She is an absolute gem!”
“Wen was nothing short of amazing! We got update photos immediately and our pups who have pretty bad separation anxiety looked like they came back from vacation! She’s so on top of everything - medications, safety, play time and updates to us. Thank you so much! We will be using Wen in the future !”
“Croissant was really happy staying with Sungjin! He was prompt with replies and active in updating us with her walks and how she’s been doing, so we feel really at ease leaving our babygirl with Sungjin. Thank you so much for your love in taking care of her!”
“Ines was a wonderful caregiver for our Luna and sent lots of cute pics while we were away. She lives in a lovely neighborhood very suitable for dog walking. Would book again!”
“Katie continues to be the best dog sitter for our Tilly Girl. She’s always so caring in understanding Tilly’s routine, sends the cutest photos as updates, and make sure Tilly is as comfortable as possible while we’re gone. I can’t recommend Katie enough.”
“Kristina did such a fantastic job taking care of Buddy! He has a hard time being away from us and because of his separation anxiety, he refuses to eat on his own. With Kristina, there was no issue at all! She clearly made him feel so comfortable and welcomed, and he ate on his own! I never had to worry once about Buddy. Kristina was wonderful about updating us every day of our trip with lots of pics and videos. I’ll definitely be taking Kristina’s help again and I highly recommend her.”

Connie earned my trust years ago. I have left my dog Yolanda with her probably 15 times. Connie seems to be super sensitive to the feelings of my dog, as shown over and over in the photos of Yolanda that she has sent daily during all of my dog's stays with her. Yolanda is not well and takes roughly 10 pills each day so I need to have someone who I can rely on during the times when I am away and that person is Connie. I don't take a trip unless I know Yolanda can stay with Connie.
Ryan and his wife took THE BEST care of our little pup! They sent so many pictures and updates and it was so clear she was loved and active and having fun the whole time. Plus, their sweet dog Remy is the cutest ever and he was the nicest friend to our girl. We will absolutely book with Ryan the next time we need a sitter!
Our dog loves spending time with Chloe; and Chloe is so great at taking care of all our dog's needs, including medication, feeding schedule, and walks. She kept us updated while we were away and sent us daily photos. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup!
I cannot recommend Dariya highly enough! One of our dogs has severe separation anxiety so if you’re nervous about leaving your fur babies and looking for a trustworthy, patient, attentive, and responsible home/pet sitter then I can guarantee you that she is the one to book. Dariya will put your mind at peace and that’s priceless! Dariya took the time to understand our dog’s quirks and routines. Like I said, I cannot recommend her highly enough. She absolutely found a repeat client with us! Any new client would be lucky to have her watch their home and pets!
Grace is an amazing pet mom. She treated Ollie so well he was a bit disappointed I picked him up. She sent pictures throughout the day and kept me updated about their activities. He had a few outings and was well exercised by the time I got him. Grace was also very accommodating when my work event ran over and I picked up Ollie a few hours later than expected
I had to travel out of the country for over a week, and Dabin and Hanah took exceptional care of Luka. They fed him, walked him multiple times a day, played with him, and truly treated him like their own. They even took him to the park and the mall, which Luka absolutely loved! They also sent us photos and videos throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Since it was our first time leaving Luka with a sitter, we were definitely nervous at first especially with his golden doodle 1 year old energy, but Dabin and Hanah earned our trust very quickly. We would absolutely have Luka stay with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitters!
Tamia was so sweet and responsive. She kept me updated on my little guy while I was away. Even after receiving him, I can tell he was in good spirits. She took him on walks and was able to stick to his meal plan. I would definitely trust Tamia again with my fur child. Thank you so much, Tamia!
We were a bit nervous about having anyone watch Kylo, as she has never been with anyone but a family member. We found Twinkle based on her location and reviews and selected a meet-and-greet with her to see if there was a match for her, us, and our dog. From the moment we arrived, she was accommodating, informative, realistic, and positive. Our dog, who can struggle with trusting people, was calm around her and accepting of the environment provided. During our trip, she was as communicative and transparent as we requested. We never felt like we did not know what was going on, what was being done, and any concerns she had, so we can work the problem together. We felt taken care of, and we knew our dog was, too, which made the entire experience a great one for everyone. We will not only not hesitate to use her again, but we will also seek her services in the future.
