“Thank you so much for watching Harley! I could tell immediately that she felt comfortable/trusted you when I dropped her off and it made such a difference in allowing me to enjoy my trip. She’s already eaten the treat you sent her home with.”


“We couldn’t have had a better experience with Betsy and her family taking care of our furry guy. He had such a wonderful time and we received frequent updates with photos. Her kids told us stories about him when we picked him up- they made him feel like part of the family. We hope to have him stay with them again!”


“Great experience boarding Summer for 3 days! They sent updates daily and were very easy to communicate with. They even got Summer special treats!”


“My first experience was Rover was great. Nalix was amazing! We had a video chat before meeting. Then when she had my pups she communicated very well with check ins, pics and videos. Definitely will be using her services again. Chance & Skyy had a great time at her home.”


“Anh is fabulous. Prompt with communication and goes above and beyond to make sure my dog is happy with her. She sends the cutest pictures and videos throughout the stay. I am definitely choosing her next time I am out of town to take care of my dog. P.S. her dog Bubbles is an absolute delight and my dog loves Bubbles.”


About: Hi! I've been around animals my whole life, and caring for pets is truly second nature to me. I've owned and loved both dogs and cats since I was a kid, and that lifelong experience shows in how I care for every animal I meet. What really sets me apart is my background in pet care and dog training. I graduated from Norfolk County Agricultural High School, where I took many animal science courses. I took classes in canine behavior, pet shop management, and animal science. I learned how to handle, groom, and care for dogs of all breeds, through hands-on experiences. I bring patience, knowledge, and lots of love to every pet I care for. I am college student spending the rest of my summer from July 8 until August 22 at home. This means I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m already helping my family take care of our own dog, so adding more pets to my routine fits in perfectly! I am available Monday through Friday and am very flexible throughout the day, so I can easily accommodate different schedules and needs. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I stay in tune with how they are feeling, making sure they’re well-fed, clean, healthy, and getting plenty of rest and outdoor time. At home, I provide a pet-friendly environment. I’m also lucky to live next to a reservation with trails, open fields, and ponds and streams perfect for dogs who love to explore nature. I enjoy taking pets on these little adventures to keep them active and mentally stimulated. When it comes to pet care, I always treat each animal as if they were my own.

“Julie did an amazing job taking care of our cat, Cal! He is usually shy and fearful of strangers, but she was incredibly patient with him and soon coaxed him out of his shell. Julie also did a great job of sending us a constant stream of pictures and updates. I highly recommend her!”


“Qiang took very good care of my dog for 4 days while I was gone. He sent me a photo every day and was very good about communicating and responding to any questions I had.”



“We love Delayni. She has taken care of our dog about three or four different times now. Each time our pup is happy to greet her and we know she is in great care. Delayni sends photos and videos while we are away and it is always appreciated. Delayni is also very flexible with pick up and drop off times.”

“Kaitlyn gave S’mores her meds while I was away (which wasn’t something we had discussed in advance because I only found out she needed them that morning!) and S’mores was happy when I picked her up. Kaitlyn was very accommodating to her needs.”


“We had a great experience with Winn when he watched our dog, Sirius. He was really communicative and on top of everything, from the meet and greet to updates to drop-off/pick-up. He asked all the right questions to understand Sirius's needs and what would make Sirius feel most at home, and we felt really comfortable leaving Sirius with him. Sirius seemed to enjoy his time as well - we would definitely recommend Winn to others needing a dog sitter!”


“This is Mochi's first time with Natalie. It was great. We got several pictures of Mochi during her stay. Natalie was really responsive to messages and kept us informed. 5 stars for sure!”


“Tae was available on short notice to keep my baby during a family trip. She sent tons of pics and updates which I very much appreciated and my baby seemed to very much enjoy herself during her stay with Tae! Would definitely recommend her taking care of anyone’s sweet fur babies! Her dog, Udon, was so cute and sweet as well!”


“I can’t say enough about Grady’s awesome stay with Karin and her husband. Grady felt right at home and I got lots of updates which made us feel even more comfortable leaving her. In the past I had only left her with our friend before this so I was very nervous. It was a very positive experience and she was well taken care of. I will definitely use Karin again.”


“Kevin was a fantastic caregiver for my pup. Great communication, very responsive, lots of pictures, and clearly comfortable with dogs and their ways. Very detail oriented and wonderful written updates. Most importantly, he clearly cared about my dog, not just for my dog. Would book again without hesitation.”


“As usual, Jing is very kind and friendly and provides wonderful and professional care for our dog. I am so thrilled to I have found my dog sitter 😊”


About: With over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, I bring a deep understanding of what it takes to keep dogs happy, healthy, and safe. As the proud parent of Gwen, my gentle 11-year-old Great Dane, and Luna, my energetic and sweet 5-year-old American Staffordshire, I’ve spent years training, walking, and bonding with dogs who have very different needs. Having an older dog has given me experience with administering meds (with or without food) and being considerate of slow and easy walks when needed. I genuinely love spending time with dogs—it’s not just a job for me, it’s a passion. What sets me apart from other walkers is my ability to adapt to each dog’s personality and energy level, my calm and confident handling skills, and my commitment to reliability. You can count on me to show up on time, follow your instructions closely, and treat your dog like one of my own. As a chef, I work mainly evenings, which leaves my daytime hours wide open—and there’s nothing I enjoy more than spending that time outdoors with a dog by my side. Whether it’s a mid-morning stroll or an early afternoon adventure, I’m available during the day for reliable, energetic walks tailored to your dog’s needs. I’m organized and efficient with my schedule, so you can trust that your pup will get consistent, on-time care while you’re at work or running errands. At home, I keep a calm and relaxing environment where dogs can unwind, nap, and feel safe—perfect for pups who need a quiet space to decompress. That said, there’s also plenty of room for play! My 5-year-old American Staffordshire, Luna, is full of energy and always ready to share her toys or make a new friend. She’d love a buddy to play with around the house or join her for fun outings at the park. Whether your dog prefers a peaceful nap or a playmate to romp with, I’m happy to provide a balanced and comfortable space that fits their personality. I always have my dog crate open if any dog (mine included) feels the need for some alone time.

“Chelsea was the absolute best! Birdie came home from her stay tired and well cared for!”


“Kayla was great! We had to find someone to watch Philip at the last minute for a week and we are so glad we found Kayla!”


“Deirdre took wonderful care of my dog over the holiday weekend. I had no worries about him knowing she was with him. She made it very easy and is extremely reliable. I will most definitely book with her again for future needs.”

“Annika has taken care of my 7-year-old Golden Retriever, and she does a wonderful job! I feel very comfortable when my dog is in her care, I know she will take him for long walks in the woods and keep him safe at all times.
