“Tynesha and her family were fantastic, sending photos and quick updates throughout our pet’s stay with them! He came back to us happy and healthy (and probably missing his new temporary family a little bit, too). It gives me great peace of mind to know that, if/when we next have to go out of town, we have this great option for our dog!”
“Paul is excellent! Dunley is a 5-year-old lab/cattle dog with high energy. Paul made sure Dunley got enough exercise, walks, and plenty of fetch. He came back happy. I will definitely use Paul again!”
“It was our dog's first night away from us and we feel so fortunate to have found Shaun S. Shaun and his family treated Betty with such love and took so much time to understand our dog, Betty's, routine and personality prior to her visit. It was so nice to receive so many pictures and even videos during her stay... he kept us posted the whole time. When I arrived to pick her up, Betty's tail was wagging as she "introduced" me to Shaun - along with his son and wife. What a lovely family and the perfect home to leave Betty. We already booked 2 more stays!”
“Karina is absolutely amazing! From the moment we entrusted Simba to her care, we knew he was in the best hands. She kept us updated daily with thoughtful messages and adorable photos, which showed just how much care and attention Simba was receiving. Her love for animals truly shines through in everything she does. Simba had such a wonderful time, from enjoying his walks to being pampered like family. Karina went above and beyond to ensure he was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of, even offering to groom him and accommodate his little quirks with food. Her kindness, professionalism, and dedication are unmatched. We are so grateful to have come across Karina’s profile. She has set the bar incredibly high, and we can’t imagine trusting anyone else with Simba. We will absolutely be returning to her in the future, knowing that Simba will always be in loving and capable hands. Thank you, Karina, for hosting Simba and treating him like your own. You’ve made this experience truly special, and we couldn’t appreciate you more! Highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional care for their furry family members.😇🙏”
“Amrit was amazing with Pepper. He was so sweet and attentive to her and sent me updates and pictures daily. It didn’t seem like a job for him- he genuinely enjoyed taking care of her. His house was clean and safe. I highly recommend him!!”
“Lisa is amazing! She did a great job keeping us updated with pics & videos. Our dog has never looked this happy when we’ve gone away. She kept her active with walks & playtime with her pup. Highly recommend!”
“Ellen was an amazing dog sitter! She was incredibly communicative, providing regular updates, which gave me great peace of mind. My dog was well cared for and happy in her hands. She was reliable and attentive. I highly recommend Ellen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Gail did a great job with Raven. We usually are worried about whether Raven will adjust to a new sitter, but Gail quickly sent us pictures and a note letting us know how quickly she bonded with Raven and how calm she had become.”
“Jaina was very responsive when we had a last minute booking for our dog. He was well taken care of and we got daily updates about how he was doing. Brewster is excited to visit again soon!”
“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.”
“Stephanie did such a great job watching my dog! Not only did she agree to watch him last minute, but she was very accommodating about my dog's separation anxiety. She slowly introduced her other dogs to him and made sure he gradually was introduced to the other dogs, so he wasn't overwhelmed. Additionally, I was updated at least 3 times a day with a description of his day with great pictures and videos. I would recommend Stephanie to watch your dogs if needing a sitter in the area!”
“Jessica took amazing care of our Izzie while we were away. She sent lots of regular updates and photos to help us know Izzie was doing well and having lots of fun with other dogs. Would highly recommend!”
“Cherie and her family were great hosts to our Tater tot! Sent photos and updated us throughout his stay. Felt very comfortable with leaving him and would definitely re-book. Thank you Cherie!”
“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.”
“can’t thank Pallab enough for the love and care they gave Ashoka . From the thoughtful updates to the little details they paid attention to, we knew our pup was in the best hands. Ashoka adored him, and we felt complete peace of mind. We’re so grateful and will definitely rebook!””
“Jacki is awesome! You can tell she loves what she does. My two chiweenies absolutely loved her and Andre! They’re very needy and have their quirks and Jacki accommodated them so well. Great updates provided that made me feel at ease while out of town. Appreciated her report cards, as well. Will be going back to Jacki again!”
“Sharon was able to take my booking at short notice and even took the time to meet me before I confirmed. Kept in touch brilliantly with updates and lovely photos of Poppy during her stay. I would definitely use Sharon again. Felt very secure leaving Poppy with her.”
About: I've loved dogs my whole life, and I've watched family and friends' fur babies throughout the years! From occasional walks to dog-sitting, I take care of your pup like they're my own! As a recent graduate from PA school, I'll have plenty of free time to walk your dog and spend time with them as I'm studying for my board exams.

Kaylee S.
“Kaylee would be an excellent pet caregiver. Her attention and dedication towards animals is remarkable. Kaylee lived with us for almost 2 years during which time she formed a very special bond with both of our golden-doodles. Play time and livings were a daily routine with my Lexi and Cali. She also enjoyed walking them several times per week. She would even brush their teeth and comb out their coats. When it was time for her to move on because of school, my girls missed her dearly. Still to this day we have play dates so she can come back to visit. Any animal would be very fortunate to have a home with her.”

Kellie was amazing! She took incredible care of my Lexi. I was extremely nervous to book with someone I didn’t know but from the second I met Kellie, she put me at ease. She is kind, compassionate, and truly a good person. I can’t thank her enough. I will definitely book with her again.
Couldn’t recommend Carine more! She was extremely responsive prior to booking and wanted to make sure we were comfortable prior to us dropping off our dog Bailey. Bailey was so well cared for during her stay, and Carine sent a handful of updates for just a quick trip which we really appreciated! Could tell Bailey was happy, and will be excited to stay with Carine again!
Shaun and his family took great care of our golden retriever for the weekend. Shaun was very professional and communicative and sent updates with photos of videos. We are new to the area, so it felt very reassuring to be able to be away and have our pup be well taken care of. I would recommend Shaun anytime.
Our second stay with Dawn!! Dawn is just beyond lovely and her home exudes calm positive energy -and Betty picked right up on it and acclimated immediately. (Our previous day with Dawn was with our other dog who passed ❤️). Dawn provided wonderful updates throughout Betty’s stay - lots of pics and videos… she’s an animal lover at heart and made Betty’s stay seamless. One of the biggest signs of a successful trip is that Betty did not miss one meal! Meal skipping is a frequent occurrence when she is separated from us. Thank you Dawn!!! :)
Emily was really great with communicating with me about her care for my Parker. It was my first time leaving him with non family members and she made me feel so comfortable. Parker was well care for and I can see that Emily truly enjoys sitting dogs. Thank you!!
Robert and Bianca were wonderful to work with. They met with me before the trip to make sure my nervous pup was comfortable with them. They sent photos throughout my trip, took her on lots of walks, played with her, and gave her daily medication. Nellie had an amazing time and even got to snuggle in their bed at night. You can tell that Robert and Bianca are true animal lovers and treated Nellie as their own. Already planning my next trip to use Robert + Bianca again!
