“Great experience as usual! Everything went as planned, ready for drop off, sent the perfect amount of pictures daily and had her ready for pick up on time! Angel was super excited to see me and happy as can be when I picked her up, loves to play w her other dogs and even the cats. I will definitely contibue to utilize her service's, Thanks,”
“We never have a worry in the world when our baby stays with Denise! This was a super last minute booking for us and Denise responded right away saying she’d love to have our puppy back. And our pup had a BLAST!!! Thank you Denise! Misu can’t wait to come back and visit! 🫶🏽”
“We were definitely happy with our dog’s stay with Veronique and her family. We got lots of pictures and videos while we were away, and she was very responsive if we had any questions.”
“Casey had a great time playing with her new friend, Luna, while we were on vacation for a week. Vanessa sent me updates twice a day of Casey playing with the ball, wrestling with her pal and taking walks around the block. We will definitely be coming for a play date again soon!”
“Delmy was wonderful! I had complete peace of mind while away. When I met her and her family I knew they would treat my Coco baby with care! She sent pictures daily of Coco enjoying the perfect enclosed backyard. I would definitely book Delmy again.”
“I had the absolute best experience with Lindsay K. and can't recommend her enough to anyone who needs pet sitting services! She took care of my two cats for a week while I was in the process of moving, and from the very start (booking on the app) she made everything so easy and completely stress-free. She was incredibly communicative, flexible, and accommodating with scheduling - which I really appreciated while things were a little hectic on my end. She sent me at least three updates a day, complete with photos and little notes about how they were doing, what they were up to, and how they were eating and behaving. It was so reassuring and honestly a huge relief to know they were being so well looked after. One of my cats acts like she owns the place (any place) and the other is pretty shy and takes a while to warm up to new people. Lindsay easily accommodated their individual personality preferences and silly sibling dynamic so that both cats were clearly getting lots of love and attention every day. She was so patient, kind, and gentle with my scaredy cat that he warmed up quickly and was comfortable and happy in her care. It’s not easy to find someone like Lindsay who is not only reliable and professional, but also genuinely thoughtful and caring when it comes to bonding with pets. I felt completely at ease leaving my cats in her care, and was happy to bring home two very content and well-cared-for kitties. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, look no further — she’s the best! 100/10 stars and would 100% book again the next time I need a cat sitter!”
“Kerri and her family took great care of our big Newfoundland mix. Her dogs were friendly and played well with my dog all week. I appreciated getting photos every day which let me know my dog Juneau was happy and safe! Looking forward to booking with her again in the future. Thanks again!!!”
“I had a great experience leaving my 2 dogs with Catherine. Based on the pictures she sent me and the feedback she provided, my dogs seemed like they felt right at home and were so comfortable with her and her family. Catherine was also great about being flexible with my dates when I had to drop the dogs off earlier than originally planned. I will definitely contact Catherine again in the future to watch over my doggies!”
“We had the best experience with Daniel and Denise. They are absolutely wonderful!!! We felt very comfortable, the dog was comfortable. They have a beautiful big back yard! They make all the pups feel at home. It’s a big puppy play date and sleepover. They sent pictures and videos to let you know how your dog is doing. And Luna came home very happy and excited! She wasnt mad at us for leaving her somewhere!! It was lije she was on her own vacation!! We’re so glad we found Daniel and Denise!!!”
“We loved Gabby!’ She is the best. She made us feel really comfortable. Sent us updates and pictures on a daily basis! She loved our dog and gave him plenty of attention! Thank you so much Gabby. You are a wonderful women!! We definitely will be using her again”

“Joanne did her usual great job boarding our dog at her home. He was happy and healthy when we picked him up. Joanne kept us informed of his condition with pictures each day reassuring he was ok. Absolutely a good value and experience. Thanks again Joanne”
“Erich and May took excellent care of our dog Meadow during her stay! We received updates and photos during the day. She had a wonderful time and we didn't feel guilty to leave her during our time away. They are so caring and kind gave Meadow plenty of affection and play time. We are so pleased our dog was able to be with them.”
“Lauren and Howard were absolutely amazing with my dog Brody! From the start, they were incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and made me feel so comfortable leaving Brody in their care. They kept me updated throughout his stay with lots of adorable pictures and messages, which really put my mind at ease. Brody clearly felt right at home with them and was so happy and well-cared for. I can’t recommend Lauren and Howard enough — they truly went above and beyond! I would 100% trust them to watch Brody again.”
“Eliana was the best, she really showed my Ellie a lot of love and care. She even took Ellie on daily walks and even to the beach which I’m sure was a nice surprise for her. Eliana went above my expectations, I will definitely rebook and highly recommend !”
“I cannot say enough good things about the care Freedom gave to my senior dog, Chunky. He’s an older dog with some anxiety issues, and Freedom handled him with so much patience, kindness, and calm energy. They went above and beyond. They took him to the dog park not once but twice, made homemade treats, and even gifted him a sweet new bandana. When I came home, I could tell Chunky had been genuinely happy and well cared for. It’s hard to find someone you trust with your pet, but I feel completely at ease leaving Chunky with Freedom anytime. I’m so thankful we found them, and I’ll absolutely be booking again.”
About: I absolutely love dogs! My family dog passed away when she was still a puppy, a beautiful husky named Belle. In her honor I make sure to give all the love and protection to dogs that little me couldn’t provide. I promise you, your fur babies will be so loved, cared for and protected while they are with me! I am an elementary school lunch aide during the school year, so I am only out at least three hours a weekday. I don’t have this job during the summer so my schedule is more flexible! I have a yard perfect for your fur baby to run around in, and the elementary school I work at is right down the street so we can get some great walks in and play on the field (only if you’re okay with it of course)! I will need a list of what you’d prefer for your fur baby and for you to bring their essentials for food, play, and sleep. I want to disrupt their schedule as little as possible so just tell me what I need to do and your wish is my command! The more details the better!
