“Cindy took care of our 10 week old puppy and gave him excellent care. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout his stay. Cindy was easy to communicate with and very welcoming!”


“Great pack experience in an unleashed farm setting! Tom sent us daily photos and videos which is very reassuring during our two week trip. When we returned, Max was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Highly recommended! Thanks again Tom! Until the next time!”


“Our dog has the best time at Corrine’s house whenever we go away! When we pull up to her house, he can’t get out of the car fast enough and barely looks back to say goodbye! We trust her completely with our dog and can relax while we’re away knowing that he’s in great hands.”


“Very pleased with the care Nacho and Biscuit were given while under Jackie's watch. They got along with her beagles, she sent pics and kept me posted. Will be using again very soon. Highly recommend. 😊”


“Jenny is fantastic!! Her home is a dog’s paradise with a loving family and playful environment. Phoebe will be back and we won’t worry for a second about the care she receives while we’re gone.”


“Ashley just watched my 17 year old dog for 3 days. So grateful She was able to take a last minute booking. Ashley is amazing with great communication! Jack was well loved and while staying with her. Our pouch didn’t even want to come home he had such a great time. I will definitely be using Ashley again!”


“Stoli stayed for 5 nights with Diana and Raul. I was drawn to the fact that they only take one dog at a time. They were very welcoming and showed me their space. Diana was very good to take notes and was very accommodating with any specifics for Stoli’s routine. Stoli had lots of attention and was never left alone. They sent great notes and photos along the way. Stoli came home soft and smelling great with a complimentary bath and a little gift! Thanks, will definitely book again!”


“I was very pleased with Kristen she sent me updates with pictures of Lucky. I was so relieved and happy that Lucky enjoyed herself. I will be using her again. Thank you”


“Our little two-year-old long haired dachshund,Maddie had a wonderful time with Megan and her family for three days! Lots of photos of her happy time there and love shown. This was a first time experience for our Maddie, and we had our concerns but the caring she received erased all of that.”


“Matthew and his family were great hosts to our Welsh Terrier Winnie. She is an active dog with a lot of attitude. With their two dogs Henry and Jacks they were able to keep her running, walking, and content. We know our dog had a great time when she comes home spent, worn out, and sleeping for two days. Matthew sent pictures each day and Winnie had a blast. Two thumbs up and we will gladly use Matthew again..if he'll let our 17lb beast back in their home!”



“We love Paola! She takes care of our dog as if he was her own and that’s exactly what we are looking for in a sitter. We will definitely be using her again and every time if we can!”


About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, but within the recent years have been helping friends and family with caring for their pets when they’re away doing drop ins or boarding them. I have a 1 year old beagle and a 6 year old cat who are use to seeing me bring dogs in and out. I’m very patient with all pets as i’ve cared for tiny to big dogs of all ages, and energy levels :). I work full time working in office Mon-Wed, but am remote Thursdays and Fridays. I’m willing to work out a schedule with as much flexibility as I can for you. I live with my boyfriend as well who works full time, but helps with potty breaks too. My 1 year old beagle is very energetic, friendly, and playful and a 6 year old siamese who likes dogs. I have a large fenced backyard with EVERY possible exit area sealed. My dog would love to escape to follow a scent if she could so I make sure there is no escape plan even though I make sure to watch them when they are outside. I also have a puppy camera that I leave on in my living room to check on when i’m not home. Whether your pet steps into my home, or i step into yours i’m willing to accommodate to your pets needs.

“From our first communication, Kristin was responsive and thoughtful. She offered a meet-and-greet and we took her up on it. Scout was at home immediately and I felt comfortable booking right away. We were gone for 8 days, which is a long time to leave your your little furry one. Kristin shared regular updates, often enough so that every time I thought about how she was doing, there was a picture of her face - safe and happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Kristin and would definitely ask for her help again if the whole family is traveling.”


“Sarah was amazing and took great care of our dog, Ripley, while we were spending a weekend on LBI. She was super accommodating in scheduling the meet and greet, drop-off, and pick-up times. She was a also very responsive on the app and sent updates on how Ripley was doing throughout the weekend. I would highly recommend her and will reach out if we're ever in LBI again.”


“Jouseline was great my pup stayed for a week and was super happy he was in good hands. She kept me updated with pictures and videos, which I was appreciative of. She was just a sweet person overall showing where my pup would sleep and play. Definitely will book again.”

About: I’ve had dogs all of my life. I started dog sitting for neighbors and family members when I was 10. I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages. I’ve taken care of labs, pitbulls, doodles, yorkies, and other small rescue breeds all ages from puppies to elderly. I’m looking for a job not only for some college money but also for some pet therapy. I can’t go home to see my own dog so it would bring me so much joy to take care of someone else’s. I am a college student so my schedule can be pretty flexible. My schedule is very day to day Monday through Sunday but I have more than enough time to take care of animals for hours at a time if needed. I will follow any instructions given to me. I have no problem cleaning up after a dog if it makes a mess, and I have definitely gotten some dogs in crates with some tricks. I will always make sure the house looks exactly how it did when I got there, and make sure the pup has a clean and comfy place to stay!

“Lynn was wonderful with our dog Millie. It was July 4th weekend and Millie was scared of the fireworks and Lynn took extra good care of her. This was our first time leaving our dog with a pet sitter and we were nervous, but couldn’t have left her in better hands. Highly recommend!”

Daisy J.

“I can’t recommend Daisy enough to pet sit! She has taken care of all my dogs and cats on multiple occasions, and every time I return home, it’s clear my pets have been loved, well cared for, and truly happy in their presence. My dog loves their walks and playtime with Daisy, and my shy cat warmed up to her almost immediately. She always keeps me updated with photos and little notes about how things are going. It’s such a relief to be able to leave town knowing my pets are in such capable and caring hands.”
