“Best decision to leave our boys with Joscelyn. They were so well loved and she provided updates and photos daily. Our vacation was so much more enjoyable knowing our babies were safe and happy. 1000% would recommend Joscelyn to anyone needing dog sitting.”


“Anne did an exceptional job looking after Reggie while we took a trip. It was the first time we had left him to go out of town and we were nervous about leaving him, but he did great at Anne's house. I highly recommend her and we will be sure to ask her to watch him again.”


“Azure was a great sitter. I knew at the initial meeting my dog was going to be in great hands. I received several photos throughout her stay and appreciated every one. I will definitely use her again in the future.”


“Bella was so happy to be her house under her watching and when i pick her up, she didn’t even want to leave. And came back with out of energy and tiredness of having good times with new friends. Also her dogs are super friendly and welcoming to me. Love it and would book again.”


“Stephanie cared for Paw Paw and Pepper as her own family members. Prompt response. Ample updates. Dogs came back to US very relaxed and well taken care of. Definitely recommend.”


About: I've grown up surrounded by pets—from energetic pups to laid-back cats—and caring for animals has always been second nature. For the past three years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my family during vacations, making sure their pets are safe, happy, and loved. I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I meet! Working third shift gives me a flexible daytime schedule, which means I’m wide awake and available when most people are at work. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon playtime, or midday check-ins, I have the time and energy to give your pet the attention they deserve. I provide care from my apartment, creating a safe and cozy environment for your pet. I live in a very quiet pet friendly neighborhood. I'm also physically strong, which allows me to confidently handle larger or high-energy dogs while keeping them safe and happy

“Tiffney was vey responsive and reassuring. She met with me before the stay to make sure Bella and I were comfortable. This was the first time leaving Bella with anyone so it was important to me to make sure she would be well taken care of. Tiffney did everything she could to make sure Bella was comfortable and safe. It was nice that she had other dogs to socialize with, and her children were kind and playful with her too.”


“We had our first night away from our puppy, and did so with peace of mind knowing our puppy was in great hands in boarding in Jennifer's home. She had a crate ready, toys, and more. We got lots of photos of our puppy having the best time. Highly, highly recommend!”


“Heather was a great sitter. This was Alister’s first time being away, she made his transition very smooth. She provided pictures and updates regularly which was very comforting to me knowing he was being well care for. I will use Heather again.”


“Left my girl with him for the first time ever. I’ve never used an app to find care for her and he kept me updated on what she was doing and put my mind at ease. I would use Salehin again”


“Kristen is amazing with our Jack Russel. She always sends pictures and let's us know how she is doing. We always trust her when we have to go out of town.”


“Karisa was AMAZING! Not only did she send me pics of Dez while she sat him, but she also gave updates! Her daughter made doggy treats for Dez, she took Dez on walks and gave us a thank you card! Karisa and family were the kindest people and we will DEFINITELY book her again! Thank you for being awesome, Karisa!”


About: I know your fury friend is a member of the family and how they need the love and attention like our children do. I have been caring for amimals for 3 years. I have my own fury friend who just turned 10. From potty breaks to treats, walks and play time. I know each fury friend is different and you as pet parents expect that your friend will be treated as speical as they are. I know how to deal with the old friend who walks once a day to our young friend who needs to burn energy every couple hours. My schedule is flexible Mon-Fri. Your best friend will be cared for and excited when they are with me! How spoiled they will get.

“Brian took great care of our dog! He communicated often and sent us lots of photos. Our pup had a blast and got to enjoy many walks and visits to the dog park with Brian’s pup. We will definitely book with him again!”

She was let on the bed and hung out with the kids and family...I received many pictures during the stay which I loved...and when I arrived to take her home...she ran to the back door...we thought she wanted to go potty...she ran out...and turned around and waited for me...I walked out...she ran the yard twice and then wanted back in...there were many pics of her in the backyard...and she just wanted to show me where she had been...then she was ready to go home...definitely will rebook!”


“Koopa is ver comfortable in their home. He walks in and walks directly to the back door to enjoy the fenced in backyard. Nan and her family administer his medication and take great care of him!”


“I really appreciate Erin keeping Jack. I was able to do a meet and greet prior to his stay and felt comfortable leaving him for multiple days. Erin sent me updates without me having to ask. I would definitely trust to leave him with her again.”
