“We are so glad we found Brigid. Our dog, Roscoe, was comfortable with her right away when we had our meet-and-greet. Brigid asked good questions and took notes. She and her house are well-suited for a little dog visitor. She has a nice, fenced-in yard. Her couch is a cozy spot for napping, snuggling and looking out the window. Brigid stayed in touch with us leading up to our trip and while we were away. It was so fun for us to hear and see pictures of how Brigid and Roscoe were spending their time. I felt that they had developed a special bond and I can't wait to book Brigid again. I think Roscoe feels the same way.”


“Maegan and Her Family Were Great With Our Dog Luke …They Made Him Feel at Home while he was There…I Will Be Using Her Again Soon for My Next Vacation…”



“My 8 year old, Curly Coated Retriever, had never been boarded before. Kyle made me so comfortable at our initial meet & greet that it reduced my trepidation of being away from my girl for the first time & I knew she was in good hands. Kyle’s daily pictures & comments made being away from my girl so much easier. It was very clear seeing how much Kyle loved dogs and she was such a good caregiver to my girl. I would strongly recommend Kyle’s service to anybody who wants to ensure their dog is in the hands of someone who truly cares about her furry friends.”


“I once again couldn't be happier that I found Mark & Sylva to watch my boys Buddy & Connor. This is the 2nd time they've watched my boys and once again I'm deeply appreciative of the attention and care they give my babies. The pictures and daily updates eased my worries about being gone. I would recommend them to watch your fur babies over and over again.”


“I felt very comfortable knowing my fur baby was in capable and caring hands with Cheryle! Poppy absolutely loves visiting and hanging out with Jester and Cheryle was very understanding about delays that came up in my travel plans and was very flexible. Definitely my go to sitter!”


“Stephanie made our dogs feel right at home! They were loved on, taken amazing care of & she even took special care with their meds. One of our dogs was fresh of a surgery & there was not 1 hiccup. Stephanie provided lots of updates & pictures which gave us real piece of mind.”


“Emily was so great watching our pup Jax! We got multiple updates with pictures daily about his walks, playtime and all the cuddles. Highly recommend, Jax can’t wait for his next sleepover!”


“Excellent, excellent, excellent! Vera where were you when my children were in daycare??! Your professionalism is outstanding! My family and I truly appreciate you and the care you give our fur baby! Thank you again. We will see you soon.”


“Extremely good pet sitter. My elderly dog stayed over thanksgiving break and I got frequent updates/pictures. Very intuitive about my dog’s wants/needs. You would struggle finding a better person to take care of your animals, especially if you have a dog with a big personality.”


“Lori is excellent! Our energetic golden retriever stayed with Lori for a week. She greeted us at the door and allowed us to settle him in before we left for a week. She has a great, comfortable space for dogs, including a large fenced in yard. She has a friendly dog and was sure to introduce them slowly and safely. She made sure Louie was safe, even removing stuffed toys he might ingest. She takes the dogs for walks, including the dog park. She was a great communicator and even sent pics of the dogs playing. She also gave Louie a bath before we picked him up! We will definitely use Lori again. Couldn’t recommend her more.”


“I was really nervous to leave my puppies with John because of their fear of strangers, but John made them feel comfortable right away. On the second day, I received pictures of John snuggling with my timid pups. They were well taken care of and I felt reassured that they were in good hands. We will definitely be using him again in the future. Highly recommend! We give an eight paw rating!”


“Christopher and his wife took great care of my Penny. She had trouble going up the stairs (she is 12 years old, which is a lot for a bulldog!), so Christopher actually carried her up after every walk (and she’s not light!). They sent pictures and updates every day, and just overall a very lovely and caring couple!”


About: I had dog walk for number of years and had work seasonally at a pet company before. I am confident I can take care of your dog while you ar away. It is going to be a part time gig for me, I can do most evenings and weekends; During weekday, I can start my services after 6pm and anytime at weekend. I will do my best to ensure I follow your instruction and provide on time updates of your dog and most importantly the pet will have my full attention during my services.

“So thankful for Olesia for taking in Drogo. And even taking him earlier than initially planned. We love all the photos they’ve sent, showed how happy and comfortable he is. Drogo really enjoyed his stay. When we visit the area again, we’ll definitely contact them.”


“Laura is amazing. She owns several small dogs, and has a lot of experience with senior & special needs dogs. She immediately put us at ease during the meet & greet, which she offered to do prior to Molly's stay to make sure we were comfortable w/ her & her home (and to see how Molly would do with her dogs). During Molly's stay, she sent us frequent pics, videos & updates, which was fantastic. She's competent, friendly, & reliable. We will definitely be bringing Molly back the next time we need boarding.”



“Cong was amazing!! We had to leave town with one day's notice for a death in the family, and were frantic with worry about who would take care of our boys for us. Cong came through in a *big* way. She let us drop our boys off at 3am, on our way to the airport! We got frequent and regular updates from her, most with photos, and knowing that our boys were getting love and care removed a giant source of worry from us at a difficult time. Cong's doggie is a sweetheart, and she had fun playing our boys. I will 100% be contacting Cong in the future to keep our boys safe and happy! Thank you!!”


“Cache took great care of Charlie. He was super calm when I picked him up, instead of jumping all over me. Maybe he wanted to stay with her! Cache was very communicative and also flexible with my ever-changing timeline. It seemed clear that Charlie was her top priority for the 4 days he spent with her. She was on top of his routines and packed up all his things tidily for pick-up. By the way, I know Charlie doesn't care that she has a lovely apartment, but I liked it a lot. 😊 Cache inspired confidence so that I could relax during my trip.”


About: I've house sat for my friends dog who has anxiety for the last few years. I'm grew up with and am comfortable with big dogs. I work part time morning shifts Sunday through Wednesday and Night Shifts Friday so I'm able to spend long periods of time with your dog. I know to keep the dog on the leash at all times unless safe to do otherwise, I'm great at following plans for specific needs.

About: Friends and family members have trusted me to care for their furry loved ones for as long as I can remember. Our furry friends deserve just as much love and care as we do. I work from home three days out of the week, so I am able to care for pets during the day. I am also incredibly available throughout the weekends and each weeknight. I maintain a consistent daily routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime to keep pets feeling secure and comfortable. I keep clients updated with photos and updates on their pets' well-being, so they can feel confident that their furry friend is in good hands. I create a pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for pets to roam, play, and relax. I ensure all areas are pet-proofed and free from hazards. Pets receive lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I offer enrichment activities like toys and outdoor walks.
