“Katie did such a great job looking after our two dogs for the weekend. She met up with us beforehand to get to know the dogs and their routine. She was on time for each visit and provided updates each time. Thanks again Katie!”
“Very flexible with my last minute booking. Took wonderful care of my babies, both my older dog and brand new puppy! She was great at updating me and with photos! Definitely recommend!”
“Mark was exactly what we needed! Our two pups absolutely loved Mark, and grew close to him very quickly. He was incredibly flexible and willing to adjust based on our needs. A+, will definitely use in the future!”
“This is our third time booking with Rachel and she is seriously AMAZING! Gives thorough feedback and takes great care of the kitties!! We love her and will book again in the future!”
“Patrick & Susan were excellent! Before we left for vacation it had been a few weeks since they met our dogs. so they asked if they could came back for a refresher so that our dogs felt comfortable. They provided updates when on their way to our house, pics/potty/food updates, played outside every visit, and even cleaned up after the dogs outside when we have a big fenced in yard!!! Absolute dog lovers, extremely dedicated to their work, reliable... we can't wait to book with them again for future vacations! :)”
“Sammy was incredible with our two dogs, Penny and Hazel! She followed every detail we left (and there were a lot!), including feeding schedules, leash instructions, and even some quirky habits. Sammy kept us updated and truly treated our pups like her own. We’d absolutely recommend Sammy to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring pet sitter. She went above and beyond, and we’ll definitely be asking her again next time we go away!”
“This was our second time using Riley She’s great with communication and I love getting pics of our fur babies. It’s a great peace of mind knowing we can go away and they are taken care of”
“Jessica & Chris are wonderful, they humored me with a meet & greet and right away the dogs were comfortable. I got lots of texts and pictures which made me smile so much. They provide the same love my husband and I would give my three girls. For years I boarded my dogs and now with a third it's quite expensive and honestly I have never been in love with the idea because the feedback so often is negative. I feel my babies are themselves and much happier in their own home. I'm very happy to have found Jessica and will look forward to asking for their help in the future. Thank you for everything!”
“Kelsie does an amazing job with our two pups! My husband and I work third shift and she is beyond accommodating when it comes to drop in visits at odd times. One of our dogs has severe anxiety and was immediately at ease upon meeting Kelsie. Highly recommend ☺️”
About: Loved and cared for our family dog growing up, and have assisted with other forms of pet care throughout my time in Minnesota (overnight care, walking, playing, etc.) As a Minnesota transplant and a doctoral student at Springfield College, I will have availability to stay with your dog while you are away on vacation or out of town. I’m looking forward to meeting you and discovering the beauty this part of the country has to offer! I treat any animal like I treat people I interact with - with respect, love and care for their well being. I ensure they are tended to from a holistic standpoint, so their physical well being is as much of a priority as their nutrition and time for play.
About: I have had dogs in my family for well over 20 years. We have recently lost both our fur babies and would love to help you with your dog boarding. It's been quiet in our home and as much as we would love a new fur baby or two we are currently looking to move and I told myself no more pets until after we move! So why not help others out where we can.. I am currently unemployed and I am home Mon-Fri and always around on the weekends, my husband works a remotely 2 days a week as well and is home... Extra money right now is what we need... We are open and would love to give your dogs the extra attention while you can't be with them. I personally hate having to board ours but sometimes it has to be done. Board with us and know your best friend and family member will get that extra attention that they may not at a kennel. I am currently unemployed and working on gaining my Cottage License to be an in home baker... So I thought why not reactive our account and see what could be. I could really use some puppy love after the loss of our two over the last two years. Dogs will either be walked or can be on a lead for more area with someone outside with them. Dogs will receive a lot of attention from all of us.
About: Loving, reliable care — from playful pups to gentle seniors. I bring experience, compassion, and a calm presence to every visit. I also communicate closely with pet parents, sending regular updates so you always know your furry friend is in great hands. I have a flexible schedule and love making time each day to care for pets, whether it’s walks or drop-ins. It’s something I genuinely enjoy. At your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely, keeping their space familiar and comfortable. I always prioritize their safety and well-being, and I’ll treat your home with the utmost respect.
“Sam was fantastic with my 5-year-old Schnoodle, Toby. Toby can be reactive and anxious around new people and other dogs. Let's just say he doesn't always leave a great first impression. Sam listened attentively when I described his "little quirks," and she was patient with him knowing that the sweet boy that he is would show himself when he felt more comfortable. Toby was well cared for during my extended day at the office. He enjoyed long walks, playtime, and cuddles with Sam, who sent me photos of their shenanigans throughout the day. I can't thank Sam enough for the care she provided, and I plan to use her services again in the future! If Toby could talk, he would rate Sam a 10/10!!”
“Rachael was great with Cali. She communicated incredibly well with me prior to, during, and after her visit with my puppy. I would absolutely use her services again and highly recommend her”
About: I have taken care of 3 dogs, 2 cats and 10 chickens over the past 30 years and provide service in Naples FL and in Boston MA I am available Thursdays, fridays, and Saturdays in Naples FL, but very flexible depending on your needs. Do not hesitate to call me, I can give your pup the time and love he deserves. I would prefer to come to your home, only because my home is not fenced in, but could keep the dog on a leash at all times outside
“Elizabeth is wonderful, reliable and loves Max. We are fortunate to have her take care of Max when we have trips or to drop in and ck in him. We feel relaxed knowing she will be there with Max.”
About: I grew up with two amazing dogs—one is now 17 and the other is a playful 4-year-old—so I’ve cared for pups at every stage of life. From energetic walks to gentle senior care, I understand what dogs need to feel happy, safe, and loved. Whether it’s belly rubs, fetch, or sticking to their routine, I’m here to make sure your dog feels right at home. During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I'm available Monday through Friday. I am happy to spend quality time with your pet, whether that means walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I make sure any cat or dog that I am caring for is getting fed their daily amount, they have gone on walks or used the bathroom (cleaning the litter daily if it’s cats), they get plenty of water, and make sure they get plenty of stimulation through play time.
“Melissa was very flexible able to make a second visit the same day with last minute notice while I was at work! My Sully and kitties absolutely adore her and I trust her 100% with my babies! Definitely recommend her :)”
