“Livy had the best time staying at their house! I got photos and videos everyday of my little peanut. I was so pleased with how she was cared for! I would happily send livy back.”
“Tully had a great stay with Jack. He was a terrific communicator and sent us updates and photos that put our minds at ease (this was only Tully's second time staying away from us). I would recommend Jack to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and engaged pet sitter.”

“This is the second time I have used Mandeep for my puppt and it was just as amazing as the first! I love getting the pictures of my puppy playing ! Will definitely be using again!”

“Angel and her family treat my Rex and me so well! However, the best reference is when I pick up Rex, on the way to the car, he turns around, trots back to Angel's gate and barks for to let him back in HER house. Is it a bad thing when you ate jealous of your "Rover Angel" because your fur baby does not want to leave when you pick him up...as I said, this is the best reference. Angel....Thank you!!”

“Patricia was amazing! She sent pictures, loved my dogs, took them on walks and to a near by park, and sent me updates. She was also very flexible for me. We were an hour late to drop off due to traffic and we were able to pick them up on a Sunday at 4:30pm instead of 7pm, and Patricia was super helpful.”

About: I have worked with animals for a long time. I have a degree in biology and psychology for animal training and behavior. I worked previously in a zoo setting, as well as offering dog training classes through a pet store. I’m trained in positive reinforcement techniques. I work from home with a flexible schedule. We have one English bulldog in our home and I would love the opportunity to visit with your pets on an as needed or regular basis. If you have any questions not answered here, please feel free to contact me about my history/experience or any specific needs you may have. Thanks for reading and your interest! I work from home so I’m always looking to get some fresh air and take a break! I can walk dogs or check in during the normal work day. Currently I’m offering dog walks and check ins during the week. I will follow all of your instructions and be sure to send you an update! We are looking for one dog to offer doggy daycare weekly in our home. My husband and I are both WFH and we would love host a dog (must be okay with dogs and kids) during the workweek!
“Vasumathy is such a loving and knowledgeable dog sitter. She took care of our golden doodle for the weekend and she was absolutely fabulous about all the aspects of dogcare. She also gave us great insights about dogfood and some great tips. When I met gattu on Sunday afternoon for pick ups, he was calm and content which showed that he was safe and was in good hands. We will definitely use Vasumathy again for our future vacations!”

“Heather is an excellent sitter who loves dogs. She watched our 2 babies and they seemed happy and well cared for. Heather sent pictures to us every day. It helped us to know our babies were doing well. This is our first experience with Heather, She will be our first choice in sitter when we look for somewhere to keep our pups when we are out of town.”
“Angela and Ken are phenomenal dog sitters. This is the second time we used them and we wouldn't use anyone else. They're kind and warm people. They have a gorgeous fenced in back yard for the dogs to run and play in. They truly provided quality care to both of our dogs. Thank you Angela and Ken! :)”

“Daisy and Blaze, our Fox Red Lab puppies, had an amazing time with Christine!! She took such good care of them and made them feel right at home! They loved her fenced in back yard and had lots of room to run and play! They made new friends with Bond and Harley and the cats!! Christine sent us pictures and videos and updates every day when we were on vacation! We knew they were in good hands and that we picked the right sitter for our fur babies!! Thank you Christine!!!”

“Jamie was very caring and compassionate dog caretaker. My 8 months old pup had a great time with Jamie and her dog Daisy. She is very timely about all the daily updates with pictures!! Will definitly use her service again.”

“My pup had the best time with Courtney, Andrew, and their 3 sweet boys. They treated him like apart of the family while he was in their care. I got plenty of pictures to show how much he enjoyed his stay. I’ll definitely be requesting this family as a first contact the next time I need a pup sitter!”

“Kayla always takes great care of my pup! she is an excellent communicator and always sends lots of pictures! i always feel comfortable leaving my dog with her. I highly recommend and will be using her again.”

“Was available at the moment we messaged. Primary dog sitter backed out. We decided to board with a highly recommended sitter. Responsive & available. Accommodated our hectic schedule and made everything really easy from start to finish. Ryder is worn out and my family and I are grateful Ryder got the attention he deserved during our absence. Thank you again Darian!”

“I could not be more pleased with the care that Desire gave to my energetic boxer puppy ROCCO!! He was with her for 5 nights and the videos and pictures she sent I was worried he would not want to come home!!! I knew he was well cared for and was able to enjoy my time away!!!”

Derek and Cammie were absolutely amazing with my dog, Snuggles! ❤️🐾 I was away in Europe and had complete peace of mind knowing she was in such caring and loving hands. They treated Snuggles like part of their family and made sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. I truly appreciated the updates and photos, which helped me enjoy my trip knowing she was doing so well. When I picked her up, it was clear she had received plenty of love and attention. Derek and Cammie went above and beyond, and I couldn’t have asked for better caregivers for my precious girl. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Snuggles! ❤️✨

I had my two dogs with Rob and his wife last week. They did an awesome job! They have a nice big fenced in back yard and he throws ball w them. I was immediately at ease because Rob sent lots of pics to me. He responded to me quickly anytime I texted him. I would not hesitate using Rob again! Highly recommend!!
It's always tough to be away from your fur baby, but I had complete peace of mind with Samantha. From the moment we met her, I could tell my pup would be in great hands—and that says a lot, because I don’t trust just anyone! Samantha’s communication was outstanding: she responded quickly, shared updates, and sent photos. Knowing my pup was so well cared for made all the difference. Highly recommend her!!
