Kellie was fantastic with our Yorkie! She stayed in our home over the weekend and took very good care of our 5 year old teacup Yorkie. Kellie sent us updates and pictures and left our home spotless. We definitely recommend her and will use her again when we are out of town without hesitation.

Marie was a wonderful sitter for our dog Sasha. Sash is nervous around new people and Marie came over twice to meet Sasha before the stay so she would be more comfortable. During her stay, Marie was very communicative and sent updates and photos every day. Sasha warmed up to her quickly and we were grateful that Marie was looking after her. The house was tidy and clean when we returned. We would definitely recommend Marie for house sitting or dog sitting and will definitely hire her again for dog care services!

Patty really cares about caring for animals. She was easy to schedule on short notice, made sure we met ahead of time to ensure that there was a good fit between her and Zola, and was accommodating throughout the visit. I appreciated all the photos and updates. Feels less stressful traveling when you know your four legged friend is in good hands. Thanks, Patty! Would reccomend.

Sienna house sat for us with our pups and cats. She welcomed all of them (even my tad hyper German Shepard) with ease! All pets seemed happy and calm when we returned, giving us reassurance they felt at home with her! Sienna was great to communicate with and accommodated our request without hesitation. We hope to work with her again!

Emily was wonderful with our pups and cats! She housesat for 5 days/nights and took great care of everyone and everything! She sent us texts and photos and asked about things that might be concerning, like one of our cats who has cherry eye (I hadn't mentioned it, as I don't really think about it and he hid in our initial visit) and she was concerned that he might have gotten his eye scratched. Very thorough and sent me a text of her perception of their personalities....spot on!! The dogs LOVED her too! I would use her for petsitting without hesitation! Extremely trustworthy young woman!

About: I’ve had dogs for my entire life and could not imagine it without them! I’ve had several Labrador retrievers and a German shepherd, and have trained them since about 8 weeks old. I have experience administering oral and injectable medications including insulin. I have a medical background so am great with dogs who need medical attention! I’m in graduate school, so my schedule varies on weekdays and I am available all day on weekends. I tend to spend time in and around East Rock and downtown. I always ensure to be gentle and caring with all dogs. I love to play fetch, go for walks, or just hang out! I will meet any and all requests you have. I also have experience with administering oral medications and giving insulin.

I am so impressed with Karina and Teresa. My dogs loved them. I had never left my dogs overnight before (obviously an over protective parent) but did after a FaceTime and meeting. They did everything I asked for and some. So I couldn’t recommend them more. They sent me photos and made some recommendations for me that were right on!

Just wow- Pauline really came to the rescue for me. It’s a long story, but I had to work overnight at the hospital and one of my dogs was having a severe episode of separation anxiety due to some recent changes in my schedule/travel. Pauline happened to see my message in the late hours of the night (which I was totally not expecting) and offered to come stay with my dogs last minute in the middle of the night. I couldn’t believe it. Pauline is such a kind, caring, considerate, thoughtful person- I am so grateful she could help me out.

We had to leave our goldendoodle for three days while out of state. She had not been left alone since being boarded at our vet 4 years ago, so we had concerns. Heather was wonderful! She came to our house twice before we left to learn our dog's habits and become familiar with her. Heather stayed at our home during our time away. She followed our dog's schedule to perfection (feeding time, potty time, nap time, bed time, play time, etc.). The day after our return, our dog was looking around for Heather. Heather also updated us regularly, including photos. I would recommend her highly, and hope to use her again.

Kel was so wonderful with our critters! Our pup is a bit of a weirdo and Kel was so receptive to all of Clover’s idiosyncrasies with going outside. She made sure to give us plenty of updates throughout the weekend and ensured our pup got her meds each day. So much peace of mind knowing our critters was well taken care of while we were away.

We had a few scheduling hiccups at first, but after a while everything worked out and WOW she was wonderful with my dog, Arlo. He’s a very excited 78 lb puppy, and I was nervous leaving him for the first time, but she immediately made me feel at ease. She handled him confidently and sent pictures and updates throughout the day, which made me feel reassured and at peace. I would definitely recommend her and plan to use her again.

Dustin did a great job watching our pets and our home under less than perfect conditions. We were very concerned when a snow storm knocked out power while we were away, but Dustin didn’t panic and took care of everything until the power finally was restored. When we returned the house and pets were all in fine shape. We thank dustin, and we will certainly use his services again if needed.

Pauline always does a phenomenal job with my pups. She is my go to dog sitter and I always try to book her specifically for my travel. My dogs are well taken care of and even my picky eater eats well for her. She always leaves the apartment so clean and goes the extra mile to take out the trash, vacuum, and wash the sheets. I’m so grateful for everything she does!

Kinsey was an absolute pleasure to have as our sitter. She was incredibly kind, loving, and attentive with my puppy, Theo. You could truly tell how much she cares — Theo didn’t even want her to leave! 😄 She kept me updated, treated him like her own, and made the whole experience stress-free and comforting. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter.
