“Jillian and her husband were fantastic with our 5 month old puppy! I would highly recommend them to all that may be in need of a sitter for their dog. We will definitely be calling on them in the future.”
“Jonathan watched our dog in his home for 9 nights and did a fantastic job. We are extremely protective of our Doberman, Marley, and we searched for the right place for her while we were away. Marley is a bit nervous but Jonathan was kind and loving to her and made her feel comfortable. He administered her medication properly as he has experience working in the vet field. He provided photo updates so we could see Marley getting exercise and relaxing. We highly recommend Jonathan and we are so happy to have found him to care for Marley when we have to travel!”
“So happy we found Michele. She took Momo out on a walk multiple times a day and sent us plenty of pictures. For a picky dog like ours Michele really fit the bill. Would 100% recommend.”
“Erinn was great! She was very quick to respond to all my messages and updated me every day with how things were going with Mochi. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Accommodated with short notice. Encouraged a meet and greet, even came to us due to our schedule. Immediately felt at ease leaving Fletcher for the day. He looked happy in the photos sent.”
“I’m so happy to have found Molly & Patrick to watch Willow while I went home. They were so great the whole time, giving me updates and sending pictures. Willow looked like she had a great time w them. I also really appreciated their flexibility with drop off and pick up times. Very grateful to them! And would absolutely recommend to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter.”
“I had a great experience with John. I booked on short notice and he was very flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. He took excellent care of Carl while I was away and gave me real peace of mind the entire time. Communication was solid, and I received updates throughout Carl’s stay — it was clear he was being very well looked after. When I picked him up, he was calm, healthy, and completely himself, which tells you everything you need to know about the level of care he provides. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with John again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.”
“Bydette and her family took such great care of our dog. They gave her the same love and attention that we would and were happy to keep her on a similar schedule so it was an easy transition home. We plan to have Bydette watch our dog again soon.”
“Amanda and Max were great hosts for our dog Louie. Amanda sent updates and photos everyday while my family and I were away for a few days which definitely put all of us at ease knowing he was in good hands. We are extremely grateful that Louie had such an easy stay and was taken very good care of. Thank you Amanda and Max!!!”
“Kristie was amazing with Moana! She was beyond friendly, super accommodating, and kept me updated with lots of pictures and messages throughout Moana’s stay at her home. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Moana was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely book with Kristie again and highly recommend her!”
“Darien was an amazing help with AJ. She took great care of him and provided me with pictures and videos everyday. You can tell she enjoys what she does. She is professional and makes sure she understands how to care for your dog. I liked the fact that she had a call with me to get to know who AJ was. This meant a lot as I knew she wanted to make sure he had a great time. I will definitely use her again. I trust her with my pet. She groomed AJ and he smelt soooooo good.”
“Louis was wonderful with my two senior labs. He made them feel right at home and he gave us reassurance with constant updates and pictures of our pups. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to be sure their pups will have a fantastic sitter and great environment away from home!”
“Bobbi helped us out with a very last minute booking and was absolutely amazing. She was quick to respond, thoughtful with my dogs needs and kept us up to date on how he was doing over the weekend. I immediately felt comfortable and Archie had a great time. Can’t recommend enough, thank you Bobbi!”
“This was our first time leaving Hazel & Audrey. Teresa was wonderful and so accommodating to all our puppies needs. She kept us updated on their visit with great pictures that showed they were happy and well taken care of. Her home is a great setup for taking care of dogs- especially Doxies with little legs. It made our family trip more enjoyable knowing our pups were enjoying themselves as well. Thank you Teresa.”
About: I've taken care of lots of friend's and family's dogs over the years. I also had a dog for 14 years and just got another puppy two years ago. My family and I love dogs and care for them deeply. Dogs love our fenced in backyard. I am usually home all day. I will treat your dog with the utmost care and give them lots of love and attention! For walks I am available early in the morning or after 4:30. I am usually available Friday for mid-day walks. I can also do either Mondays or Thursdays, depending on the week for mid-day walks (Mon & Fri or Thur & Fri) I have a dog of my own. As he gets older he needs me a bit less but it's a daily part of my life to take care of dogs. I had a dog before him for 13.5 years. I have a fenced in yard and a neutered male who is a very sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. He is very gentle and friendly and 2 years old. He loves other dogs and he can be crated if the need is there.
“Sujanna is an amazing person clearly cut out for the job that she does. She took amazing care of Rebel and was very communicative with Rebel’s daily activities. She sent pictures and videos detailing day’s events and best of all, Rebel was clearly so happy with her. I will not look elsewhere if I need a sitter again. Thank you so much Sujanna.”
“Jennifer was kind enough to accept our pup Cyrus for a last minute overnight. This was our first time leaving our 6 month old puppy and she made us feel very comfortable. She sent lots of pics and was super responsive if we reached out. Would definitely recommend!”

Violetta took great care of my pup. She went above my expectations. Violetta is excellent at letting me know how Rio is doing. She sent me daily photos and messages of Rio and keep me posted. We were very happy Violetta with the care while we were away. I would book with Violetta/Rover again in future.
Success - Our Cocoa stayed with Chelsea for a full week and all went great! Lots of updates so we knew she was doing just fine, even during the worst snowstorm of the year. I feel like Chelsea and her family really enjoyed having our pup stay with them, which made everything that much easier.
We couldn’t be happier with the care our 2-year-old Shih Tzu received! From the moment we met them, it was clear our pup was in loving, trustworthy hands. They treated him like part of their own family—giving him plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. We loved getting updates and knowing he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for while we were away. It gave us complete peace of mind. We would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional, loving pet care. Thank you Jillian, Andrew and their 2 beautiful girls!
We had such a great experience using Ruyi. She was kind, pleasant, and always stayed in contact with us. She sent me multiple pictures and updates throughout my dog’s stay and even had a video call with be before hand to show me exactly where my dogs would be. I will definitely be bringing my dogs back to stay with her!
Hao and his lovely family were amazing with our Ripley. He sent pictures and videos throughout her stay so that we can receive updates on how our baby girl was doing. We could tell that she was very well taken care of and he treated her like she was his own. We would highly recommend Hao if you need someone who you can trust with your fur baby. We were very appreciative of his care and how open and communicative he was with us. Hao was also very accommodating! 5 stars all the way!!
