“There are not enough words to express how thankful I am for Maria and her beautiful family. I felt so comfortable knowing that my Nico was being cared for by Maria. She is AMAZING - so loving, kind, attentive and caring. Maria had to take Nico to the vet in my absence and I truly was not worried one bit. He was so calm and felt safe with Maria. Even when I went to pick him up he didn’t want to leave. He had the best time there. I give her 10 stars and Nico cannot wait to go back!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for many years. Normally will be asked by family and friends to watch their pets because they know I’m a trust worthy individual who can take care of their pets and make them feel comfortable while doing so. I’m currently working full time but open to care for pets during the weekends. Just message me for availability and I’ll get in contact with you as soon as possible. I live in an apartment with a fenced in dog park that will allow your fur baby to run around and play as much as they want.
“Harley was fantastic! She totally accommodated my 10 year old Labrador, who’s not the easiest to care for. She really loved him and did her best to make him feel at home and comfortable. She was very communicative about everything and sent lots of photos. Her house was clean and large enough for a 100lb lab. Her yard is big and fenced in. We will def be rebooking her! Thanks Leny 🫶🏼”
“Yvette is caring, communicative, loving and reliable. I do not know what we would do without her. Elvis (our Cavapoo) loves her to bits and is always happy to board with her. Could not recommend her enough absolutely brilliant.”
“Thank you Bob for taking such good care of Beauty. The walks, the fresh water made me feel secure. Great understanding of dogs. Really appreciate that. She was happy for the rest of the day.”
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving Watson with someone while we were away for a few days. Christi and Peter did a good job caring for Watson and he seemed to enjoy his time with them. We were very concerned leaving him somewhere because he is a rescue and is nervous and shy but they said he did well with them and their dog Reesie. We would definitely reach out and use Christi and Peter again if we needed someone to watch Watson while we were away. Thank you”
“This was the first time I was apart from my dog for more than two days and the first day that I left the dog with a non relative. It was great to have someone as responsive and responsible as Vincent taking care of my dog. It is clear that Vincent loves dogs and does a great job taking care of them. When I picked my dog up it was clear he had a good week, was healthy, well fed and very happy.”
“Bill knows dogs! He took our rambunctious three year old & they got along great. He had a couple of dogs & we took Rossi there for a meet & greet so he could see how they got along. We took Rossi to Bill’s the next day because Rossi was treated so well. He sent photo & text updates a couple of times each day. 5 stars.”
“She is the best dog sitter I have ever met. She sent photos and videos every day so I could tell my dog had a really great time with her and her dog. She accommodated drop-off & pick-up on our schedule as well.”
“We left Ellie with Megan for a week while we were on vacation. She gave us daily updates with pictures and videos so I always felt confident that Ellie was safe and well cared for. Megan seems to genuinely love caring for pets, and treated my girl just like she would her own. I will definitely use her again in the future any time we need a sitter.”
“First time dropping Oreo off to someone other than grandma and Lorrie was very professional, made us feel at ease Sent a few videos to see Oreo in action Thank you Lorrie!”
“Jonathan & Rebecca took great care of Coco and as he some company with other pets he was more than happy with them. Would definitely rebook with them.”
“Karina was great! She provided an accommodating and inviting atmosphere for my dog. She was in constant communication and made sure Dottie felt comfortable. It was my first experience doing this and I honestly felt at ease. Thank you Karina, will definitely reach out next time I'm going away.”
“We were so happy that Shelleen and Bill took such good care of our 2 senior labs Bono and Jeter. They made them feel right at home and could tell they bonded with our boys. It’s such a relief knowing that it was a stress free environment for them and they seemed calm and happy when we picked them up to come back home. We would not hesitate to recommend or use their services again . Thank you!”
“This was Jack's first stay at Dawn's place. It was wonderful! During his stay, he made a new friend and enjoyed himself. Dawn kept us updated every day with pictures and other updates on Jack's activities. We would definitely use Dawn again in the future.”
“I would highly recommend Kayla and her family. She was affordable, friendly, reliable, Professional, and kind. Ace had a great time. Her daughters were so polite and met me at the car and helped me carry everything in. She sent photographs of a string, his stay. I am so glad that I found her”
About: I have dogs all my life, and adore animals. I am truly happier around animals, and keeping them company and safe while having fun as well. I am available on the weekends to take care of your pup and make sure they have the best time while their parents have a mini vacay. I have a big fenced yard where your pup is able to run around freely, and a cute little cute friendly Yorkie to keep your pup company.
“Jaime was wonderful with our shy little girl. She took great care to help her feel secure during her first stay away from home and kept us well informed. We have booked a longer stay with her.”

Maria was wonderful with my dog, Murphy! He stayed with her from Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon, and everything went smoothly. She has a great setup with a yard and her own dog, and Murphy seemed happy and comfortable the whole time. Maria sent photo updates, which gave me peace of mind, and Murphy came home relaxed and well cared for. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!
You worry about your pet missing you and not eating or being scared, but not with Kayla and her family. She is absolutely wonderful and gave us updates with pics of Kody having fun with the other dogs and the children giving him lots of attention and playtime. We are very grateful for her care of are furbaby!
Karina was great! She provided an accommodating and inviting atmosphere for my dog. She was in constant communication and made sure Dottie felt comfortable. It was my first experience doing this and I honestly felt at ease. Thank you Karina, will definitely reach out next time I'm going away.
I can’t say enough how truly truly pleased I was with Susan’s services. She kindly offered to do a meet up with Cairo beforehand and I could just tell she would be a perfect sitter for him! Very kind, loving, attentive , asked a ton of questions and gave me a full run of what I should expect with Cairo being in her care. Being the true Dog Mommy that I am, I can totally sense if another person is a dog lover and Susan is the one!!!! The level of comfort I had leaving my most beloved with her was 100+! She kept me updated with a ton of pictures and just stayed in constant communication the entire time! Drop off couldn’t have gone any smoother and pick up was even better! I had the pleasure of meeting her beautiful Mother Ms. Claire who also showed my baby nothing but love! I could tell Cairo was truly loved and cared for while I was away and I had not 1 worry! I would book again with Susan again and again and again!!!! From someone who does not play about her baby, If you are looking for a trustworthy, reliable, loving and caring sitter….. Susan is the one, two, and three!! I already have her booked for my next outing. You can thank me later! ❤️🐾
This was Charlie's first time boarding at Jing's place. He had a great stay! Jing and her husband Mike gave us updates everyday and video/pictures of Charlie. Great communication the whole time. He enjoyed playing with her dog Jade and attention, love from her daughter. I know he was in great hands while we were away.
Kyle took great care of our Brie like she was his own. He sent pictures of her for us to enjoy while we were on our trip which was sweet because we missed her! Our dog has random bladder issues and a lot of anxiety, both of which were handled with care and like a true professional by Kyle. We highly recommend Kyle for trusted care!
Caitlyn and her mom were so sweet to Kora during her weekend stay. There were cuddles, walks and lots of updates letting me know that my baby was having the best time. I think she might have been having too much fun getting all the love and attention… I wasn’t sure if she would want to come home. It gave me so much peace to know that she was so well taken care of… Highly recommend Caitlyn and would definitely use her again.
