“My best friend Bernie… And energetic and very social beagle… spent a lovely six days with Zachary and his dogs. He was sad to go home, which made ME feel kind of bad but at least I know he had a good time! Zachary was an excellent communicator, and offered photos of Bernie during his stay. Large fenced yard.”
“Quin had such a great time with Isabel and Philo! Communication was prompt and pictures were provided daily. It was clear Quin was well cared for and didn’t miss us at all! Thanks Isabel!”
About: I’ve had a personal family dog since I was 5, a second dog at 15, and have been watching neighbors and family members’ animals for 5+ years! I currently work full-time as a 5th grade math teacher. I’m available typically after 4pm on weekdays, and anytime over the course of the weekend. At my apartment I have a fenced in dog park where dogs can mingle and play. There is also an attached portage trails hike & bike trail friendly to animals!
“Thanks so much for watching our Sadie. We always like to leave her with dependable people like your family. We would have had to completely change our trip to Boston if your family couldn't care for her. Again, thanks so much.”
“We are very grateful to Saraís, a very kind girl, who took care of our beloved dog Todd for 1 week in her house. She picked him up and droped him off to our house as well. She always kept us in touch with our dog and sent us pictures of him. We are pretty sure that Todd had a great time at Saraís's house. Woof woof! ??”
About: All my life i’ve been surrounded by animals of all sorts; dogs, cats, chickens, horses, turtles, you name it and ive had it! I think it’s very important that us caretakers provide all needs for your furry(and non-furry) friends! Some animals have certain accommodations like extra play time, long walks, attention, meal plans, or even separation from other animals in the house that i believe must always be met. Making sure your animal feels loved and cared for even in absence from their owners is also crucial in helping keep our animal family happy! Having many animals of my own (1 dog, 8 cats, a turtle, a lizard, and chickens) caring for these animals has become a daily routine. Being away for school definitely puts a riff in my routine of animal care so i’m always looking for a way to spend some extra time with animals even if they’re not my own. My dog has terrible anxiety and needs extra care. She is often let out to run free in our backyard. Out 8 cats need fed and watered multiple times a day with one of our cats liking the great outdoors as well. The lizard and turtle need fed on a different schedule as they don’t get fed daily. Litter boxes and other animal dropping are cleaned in a daily basis along with any other mess that comes along with pet ownership. Regular baths and grooming are also necessary for the proper care of all animals.
“Sauddi was amazing! She was incredibly kind and helpful during the booking process and made sure we both had the information we needed ahead of time. She was incredibly patient with my dog who wasn't used to the type of stairs she had in her place. She took my dog out on long walks despite the cold weather and made sure she had plenty of other stimulation. I will definitely use her again!”
“Linda went above and beyond taking care of my two fur babies (dogs). It was a last minute meet and greet as my previous pet sitter decided not to watch my dogs. Linda and I met with all the animals to determine if it was a fit. It was. I received daily updates with photos. I am so grateful to Linda for loving my fur babies while I was away. She has such a love for animals. Thank you, Linda.”

“We had a great experience with Gabrielle! Everything went smoothly and Clover came home happy and well cared for. Gabrielle was so kind, communicative and easy to work with. We really appreciated the updates and attention she gave. Would absolutely book with her again!”
“My Opal had a relaxing stay with Wyatt. She got to socialize with other dogs & there were no worries about her safety & care. Progress photos thru the week were comforting to receive. Wyatt gets my highest recommendation.”
“Wendy was really great with our dog who is not quite 2 years old. Our dog has a few challenges (slight separation anxiety and some unexpected aggression) and Wendy was confident and willing to work with her. Wendy also kept me updated throughout our week with texts and pictures. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi I’m Sofia, I’ve grown up being the main caretaker of 3 dogs, I have volunteered at dog shelters and I love dogs from all sizes and personalities! For my scheduling, I am a student so my time can be made flexible making my availability pretty open. I am always free on the weekends. I am in a student in a dorm therefore I can board small dogs if needed, I don’t have a roommate that can intervene with the dog(s).
“Courtney is wonderful with my dog. So much so he get excited to see her and runs to say Hi to her. It is a wonderful feeling when you have other things going on in your life to worry about but you know that your beloved pet is happy health and being extremely well taken care of. It is one less worry on your mind. That is what I have with Courtney and my sweet dog Max.”
“Our puppy is very anxious and very stressed when he’s separated from me. I get really concerned when I have to leave him. Karma did great with Bear and was very communicative about his day’s with her to me which helped my separation anxiety too! She worked with him on crate training and potty training as well during his 5 days there. She was also super flexible with our pick up and drop off. I will definitely be a repeat client.”

I will provide quality care and time to your pet(s). I will watch and care for your pet as my own. I have one dog, poodle mix and she is very spoiled!

Thank you so much to Isabel for a wonderful experience for our Gigi. We were able to quickly line up an initial meet-and-greet upon request. Our pup isn’t used to being away from home and we appreciated that Isabel was very understanding and patient with her nervousness. The communication was always quick and easy, and we got updates and photos while we were away. Thank you again for everything!
Bella did a wonderful job watching our dog, Storm, while we were out of town overnight! She was able to accommodate our last-minute booking and asked thoughtful questions beforehand to make sure she understood his routine and needs. Throughout his stay, she sent plenty of photos and updates, took him on multiple walks, and even brought him to a dog park so he could run around and play. We would highly recommend her!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Kent home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Kent.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
