“Working with Lauryn was great! I loved having her watch my dog :) she was so friendly and sent us picture updates the entire length of our trip! She was also very easy to communicate with. She had no problem making extra time before I went away for her to meet my dog weeks prior. Very easy to work with! Will definitely be booking her again!”
“Clint was so good at communicating throughout the stay. We were so grateful for all the help and attention Bingo received. We would get videos and pictures of Bingo’s video.”
“The most amazing service i could ever have imagined! The best updated with photos and videos and they really fell in love with our dogs! Would use them again in a heartbeat! Very grateful!”
“Emily and Steven are wonderful dog sitters! My dog can get a bit anxious while I’m away, but she was very calm and happy when I picked her up and almost didn’t want to leave. They were very attentive with Raina, taking her on nature walks, playing in the backyard and giving her lots of snuggles and sending me photos and updates. Their son Aiden was great with her too and loved to play with her! Raina got so much attention and love here, I will definitely be bringing her back. I highly recommend Emily & Steven for any pet sitting, especially for a fur baby who needs extra love and attention. Thank you!!”
““We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our dog Lola! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in loving, capable hands with Erion and Iris. Lola came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-cared for. We received updates and photos throughout, which gave us total peace of mind. We’ll absolutely be booking again and highly recommend!””
“Nanako & Dustin were wonderful with my 18 year old geriatric dog! I received many updates thru out the day that allowed me to rest easy that he was happy and relaxed in his temporary home. The home was calm for him and he seemed completely at ease there; would not have happened at home with multiple dogs. I am so thankful that Nanako was super flexible as he is an early riser and woke extra early on the morning of Daylight Savings time very early; she handled him so well making sure he got his food and medication when needed with many walks mixed in. Thank you so much, I would definitely book with them again!”
“Yating took good care of my cat Sofi for the second time! It’s always reassuring to leave Sofi with someone she already knows and trusts, and Yating provided such thoughtful and attentive care again.”
“Kate is amazing! She takes such great care of Lemon for both boarding and daycare. I love that she takes her to the beach on weekends and keeps her active and happy, whether it’s beach days or playing in her backyard. I always know Lemon is having fun and in great hands!”
“Our pup is always so well taken care of when he’s with May and Marc. They’re our first choice for dog sitting whenever we go out of town because we know our dog is going to be safe and loved the entire time.”
“Apple was great and her pups quickly became buddies with my dog. Thanks Apple for taking such good care of Oreo and making him feel happy and at home for our/his vacation.”
“Jordan took great care of Eddie and communicated with me well, especially when he had a medical situation; she communicated with me and the vet while I was away.”
“Shay was a total life-saver on a weekend when I couldn't be there for my 7mo puppy. She is so reliable and sweet with him, and that makes it so much easier to relax and be present with whatever I'm doing while I'm away. She is my first call when I need a sitter!”
About: Happy to watch and play with dogs of all sizes. Love befriending four legged buddies and finding the ways they love to enjoy life! Let’s chat :) I am a work from home engineer with a lot of free time and a dog of my own. I can manage my own schedule so don’t mind watching dog. I always ensure dogs have their sanctuary space and make sure they feel safe and secure. I prioritize their health and welfare but then give them the chance to have fun too.
“Kimberly went above and beyond with my cat to make sure he had a great time while he was being boarded at her house. My cat is somewhat grumpy with dogs (despite living with a dog), but got along great with her cute little dog. Kimberly added a cat tree and pet gate to her house to ensure that my cat had a great time, and I got plenty of updates along the way. I would definitely use her again.”
“My little girl Megan and I got to meet Anna before hand and I knew instantly she would be a good fit. She’s experienced with dogs and I could tell how much she enjoys them. Anna offers a safe and comfortable environment and Megan was in good hands. During Megan’s stay, Anna regularly updated me with video clips and messages. Overall I couldn’t ask for a better sitter for my baby girl. Would definitely use her service again in the future and would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Ruby had a great time staying with Alegra and her family! Alegra was great about providing updates and photos each day, and she has THE BEST backyard for doggos to enjoy. We look forward to using her again for all of our future trips.”
“Xochitl did such a great job caring for my dog Salt!! She sent daily check ins and photos and she also had great flexibility when my flight home was very delayed. I would definitely book again.”
“Dylan was great with my puppy, Reagan. I needed a last-minute dog Sitter as my previous arrangement was unable to take her. Dylan was kind and accommodating. Each day, he sent cute photos and videos assuring me that my dog was well taken care of and loved in his care. I cannot recommend Dylan enough!”

I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She took great care of my dog and went above and beyond to make sure he had a good day. She took him to the farmers market, the park, and gave him a great time I received updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was being well cared for. My dog came home tired and content. I would definitely trust her with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter.
Will was a total life saver this family vacation! My sitting plans fell through and will took my booking less than 24hrs in advance! He made me feel very confident in his pet sitting skills with his past vet tech knowledge and great attitude. He was so courteous with me checking in on my Frankie. His home has a great set up for animals! I joke I had a vacation and so did my dog lol Frankie really enjoyed his time with Will, and I really enjoyed my vacation knowing Frankie was being truly cared for.
Misha was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! I was very nervous about leaving them, especially because Izzi can be anxious and leash reactive, but Misha handled everything so well. She kept me updated with lots of photos and videos throughout their stay, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she was very attentive. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust Misha with them again in the future.
Octavia was an amazing sitter for my dog George. It was my first time leaving him so I was pretty nervous how he would handle living with a stranger, but it was clear he had the best time with Octavia (we joked that he didn't want to leave her) She sent photos/videos and updates every night and was very responsive. She treated George with such care and that really put me at ease so that I could enjoy my vacation. 10/10 recommend!
This was our first time leaving Zeke with Dricks, and it was for quite a while (10 days) while we were away on our honeymoon. He was super kind, easy going, and consistent with sending photo and video updates. We could tell Zeke felt comfortable with him - which gave us the priceless peace of mind while away for so long. We are super appreciative that Dricks took a chance on watching Zeke for so long as his first stay - his dog Coop and him are both so nice!!
Caterina took great care of our dog over a two week stat. We received lots of photos and updates which kept us at ease while we were traveling. At the same time, our dog got plenty of outdoor exercise and got along great with Caterina’s dogs. We highly recommend her as a dog sitter.
I was so happy with Gabriella that I have already rebooked her for a future dog sitting weekend. She sent pictures daily and gave me regular updates on Selena. Based on the pictures and recaps, it seemed like my dog was enjoying her vacation with Gabriella more than I was enjoying my own.
Emily & Steven we're absolutely amazing! They were incredibly accommodating with any instructions we had for taking care of Messi and always provided us with regular status updates on how he was doing. Messi seemed to be very comfortable at their place and we will absolutely be reaching out again in the future :) could not recommend this family enough!
