Rocco stayed with Jeff and Beth for the 3rd time during our winter break. He was clearly happy to be there, as when we arrived he jumped out of the car and ran to the house and didn't even try to follow me out when I left. We really appreciate how Jeff and Beth welcome Rocco into their family and make him feel at home, and we love all the photo updates they send. Thanks again guys!

Megan and Jenny were fantastic! They communicated multiple updates throughout the day — every day, and multiple times — with photos. They made sure Pancho was well taken care of and enjoyed a variety of activities. They were responsive, attentive, and kind. Drop-off and pick-up were efficient. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be repeat customers.

I wasn’t sure if my dog Toby would want to come home because I could tell he was having the time of his life all weekend long. I look forward to Toby spending more time at Lee’s home again soon!

We have used Patrick for our kids twice now; he has been great. This time he was flexible and helped us out a lot when our return was delayed a couple days due to flight cancellations and delays. We will definitely rebook (if he isn't tired of our dogs already).

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! From the start, Tierra was incredibly considerate of our dog’s routine and needs. We loved getting the daily updates and photos—it really put our minds at ease while we were away. It was clear our dog felt right at home at her place and was treated like family. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Eiko is such a fantastic sitter who we truly trust. She has watched our dog twice now while we are traveling, and both times we felt very comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands. The first time she watched our dog, she arranged a meet and greet. The second time, our dog, who is normally on the anxious side, was so excited to see her house again that he ran right up to the front door. She is very caring and friendly and sends us lots of updates. Highly recommend!

About: I absolutely love all animals! Growing up, my family always had a minimum of two dogs at a time. Since I was young, I have been trusted by friends and family members to watch over not only their pets, but their plants as well. As an adult living alone, I have only ever had 1 cat at a time in my home, however, my plant game has grown to a bit of a jungle! On top of taking care of animals, I also LOVE a clean house and I take it upon myself to always leave people’s homes cleaner than I found them in! I’m currently looking to open my own business doing just that: Pet sitting and deep cleaning while folks are out of town. In my opinion, there is nothing better than coming home from a vacation or a work trip to a clean home and a happy animal! I have been working with Meowtel watching cats for the last year and have found it to be exceptionally rewarding. Recently, my sweet cat passed away and I left my demanding job. Due to these circumstances I have decided that since I have the time and opportunity, opening my home to board would be a great way to expand my offerings. I look forward to meeting this community and giving dog (cat, plant, etc.) owners peace of mind while they travel, get stuck working a double, or just want to support their companion with an extra afternoon walk. I left my extremely demanding job in December after my cat got sick. I wanted to spend as much time with him as possible. Since his passing, I have focused on taking care of pets and cleaning homes. This has brought me more joy than any demanding corporate job, and I hope I can continue to work in this capacity for many years in the future. My schedule is very flexible! I am an animal lover living in an animal free home at this moment. Because of this, I am open to boarding. I am not concerned with animals who want to sit on the couch with me or lay on the bed, but I will follow the rules of what they’re allowed to do at home if you prefer that. My home will be their home, and I will do everything to make sure that they feel safe and cared for while in my hands. I’m an active person and love taking long walks and hikes. So, if that’s something that your dog is into, I am happy to schedule an adventure that meets their mileage needs! On the contrary, if you have a small dog or one who just wants to go out for a stroll around the block or to do their business in the grass, I’m happy to do that too! I have a small unfenced side yard to accommodate. I live on the second floor of an apartment building with no elevator, so if your pup is not able to do stairs and is too heavy to pick up, my home wouldn’t be a good fit.

Marlene did an excellent job of communicating about MacGuyver's issues while we were away, for which we were very grateful. It was obvious Marlene loved our special needs dog very much (he's blind) and she did her best to walk him twice a day despite him not wanting to walk. (He needed the exercise to get tired and sleep). We will definitely hire Marlene again; her personality is super gentle and kind. Her apartment was impeccably clean every time I visited (3 times). THANK YOU MARLENE!

Nasreddine was great! I had a last minute trip and luckily she was available to watch my Peaches. She sent daily pictures and updates and treated her like she was her own. Peaches came home happy from all the walks and play time with her new friend. Will definitely use her services again.

Charlie had another great stay with Kara and Nathan! This was the first time Charlie had stayed with them since they adopted their dog, Delta. But luckily the two dogs seemed to get along well, and they all took excellent care of Charlie, with regular updates and photos/videos.

If you are looking for a pet sitter that will care for your animal as if they are one of your own, look no further. A selfish part of me wants to not leave a review at all so that we can keep this lovely couple all to ourselves and our dog, but that would not be fair. Robert and Brian- thank you truly for taking such incredible care of Athena and all the updates, especially the photo dumps. We (me, my partner, and Athena for sure) appreciate you both so much!

Beth and Jeff were absolutely incredible! My girl Sunday is high energy and sometimes gets a little nervous in new places, but Beth and Jeff made Sunny feel right at home. She ran around in their oasis of a backyard and played with her new best friends (Beth and Jeff’s 2 kids)—she was even allowed to sleep in their room! Sunny came home reluctantly and very tired! Sunny already can’t wait for me to leave town so she can stay with her new pals again!

Kelly was amazing! It was our first time leaving LuLu with anyone, and since she’s a quirky, bossy little old lady, we were definitely apprehensive about finding the right person who truly understood the needs of a senior pup. Kelly ended up being the perfect fit. We spent some time getting to know each other beforehand, and we immediately appreciated how thoughtful and prepared Kelly was, not only in making sure she was a good fit for LuLu, but also that LuLu would be a good fit for her. Throughout LuLu’s stay, we received frequent updates, photos, and videos that kept us informed on how her little dogcation was going and each message reassured us that she was in loving and capable hands. We were genuinely able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing LuLu was getting the best possible care. Thank you again, Kelly!

Shannon was such an amazing help. Unfortunately our pup was not able to attend our wedding rehearsal and Shannon saved the day. She was flexible with pick up times, showed up exactly when we needed her, and was very professional. Shannon’s house is just as described and is perfect to house doggies. She sent many pictures and updates so you will never miss a moment.
