“Ada was happy to be going back to visit with Steve and Star. She seemed to jump right back in. The pictures that Steve sent while we were gone were awesome and helped my son see that she was having a great time playing!”



“We had a great experience using Mary. She was wonderful about sending pictures and updates. Most of all our dog seemed happy. We will definitely use her again.”


“Coop had just a fun time! As happy as I was to have him come home, I know he was sad to leave his new friends! It was so cute to see Justin's little girl with his leash walking him!!! Besties for life!! Would recommend Justin and his family to anyone!”


“I cannot say enough good things about Charlene! When you love your pet as I do, it is always a little nerve wracking to need to leave your beloved with a stranger. But from moment one I knew that My Keeley would be well taken care of. There was oohing and aahing and all the right things, like a fenced in yard and that they promised me that their guest dog is always accompanied outside, not left alone. Keeley snuggled on the couch with Charlene with is not Keeley's custom with new people. She was quickly at home. I highly recommend Charlene! Not only did she put my mind at ease, but Keeley was loved!”


“She was really great an accommodating. She was really quick to help when my flights were canceled and happily watched him since I couldn’t come home. She sent me photos of my dog having fun and was overall really nice to work with. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. :)”


“Shanea is amazing! She took care of our 6 month old picky labradoodle so well. She’s like his second family and had an awesome time. I would trust her to take care of your fur babies like they were her own.”


“Lorinda was absolutely fantastic! This was the first time we have left both of our boys with someone else and were a little nervous. Lorinda immediately made us feel at ease and communicated/sent pics everyday that we were away. Even when leaving both of our boys ran up to say goodbye to her. We highly recommend and will absolutely be using her services again!!”

About: I've had dogs my entire life, but really started taking a lot of responsibility for their care around 12. From small breeds to large, I've loved them all! I have experience with behavioral issues, medication administration, seizures, and other medical issues. I'm a stay at home mom of two beautiful disabled children. We have one cat and one dog. I'm always home and available during the day for boarding. We have nice, big yards and we live in a very friendly neighborhood! I'd also love to help take care of your babes on the weekends, evenings, and occasionally during the week! I have an unfenced but spacious yard. Our home has the capacity to keep everyone separated if needed, but lots of room to be together, too! We have plenty of room for a crate, if that's how your sweet babe thrives, but we also support snuggles during sleep, too!


“Extremely kind and great communication! 10/10 recommended and definitely going to be a returning client”


“Bee was a very nice and welcoming dog sitter! She has a very friendly dog, a huge beautiful yard and home that was perfect for my Mastiff to play in. She took notes on my feeding routines, sent pics during the stay and responds quickly to messages for any questions or concerns. She has a great connection with dogs that made my dog feel right at home and I'd definitely use her service in the future.”


“Adriana was amazing! She took care of Denis as he was her own. Provided pictures and updates via text! If we are ever back in the CNY we will definitely be contacting her to watch our boy.”


“I needed my cat boarded for the day and he accepted boarding her. He was reliable with communication and was able to have my cat boarded and my cat was relaxed when I picked her up. I would definitely recommend for sitting or boarding your pet.”


“My dog had a blast at Terry’s house!! Would absolutely take her there again! My crazy dog had one night at Terry’s and she is worn right out! I love how she has a fenced in yard for her!”


About: I have been taking care of dogs since a long time. I take my dog for runs and walks for 7-8 miles daily. I can also take your dog for hiking if you want me to. I work from home on Fridays and Monday which is suitable for me since I am at home for the whole weekend and provide 24x7 care to the pets. I have friendly Australian shepherd who loves to play and is filled with high energy. My apartment has ample of space for pets to play around.

“She was absolutely amazing with my sweet boy. He came home happy as can be, very well taken care of. I would recommend Diana to anyone nervous about the well being of their babies. I can't wait to use her again. Thank you Diana ❤️”
