“AJ was fantastic as usual with Daisy. We received so many pictures and updates during or 2 weeks vacation. Our minds are in ease knowing she is happy and in good hands!”


“We couldn’t be happier with Breanna doggie sitting our senior girl over the weekend. Breanna’s communication throughout the process was amazing proving updates and photos. Her experience with dogs truly showed. We had no worries! Highly recommend Breanna. Our girl misses her already.”


“I had to leave my pup for the first time for a wedding so I was pretty nervous about it – Rae couldn’t have been better! She met us before the trip to make sure my dog was comfortable and even let my dog explore her house so that the environment was familiar when she returned for her stay. She was quick to respond to all of my texts and provided regular updates and photos. I would 100% recommend Rae and will be a returning client. Thanks Rae!!”


“Elizabeth and her husband are the best sitters we have ever used. Property is exceptional and her care of my 2 puppies was above and beyond. excellent. If you want the best of the best this sitter is the one for you!”


About: My love for pets is what sparked me to enter the wonderful world of pet sitting. I have been a dog walker and a cat and dog sitter for 4+ years. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "kids". I grew up with a household of furry friends! Seeing their little faces everyday just puts a smile on my face! I also currently have an almost 2 year old orange tabby who has my heart. I’m currently a full time college student which allows me to spend most of my days in my house. Besides the 3 hours I am at school I spend most of the day at home. Also while I am at school I have breaks between my classes and I live 5 minutes away from my college so I have no problem walking back or driving to check up on your pet! I have a back yard, as well as I have a large home that is free range for the pet to roam around in. There are also no children or seniors in the house that could cause the pet any discomfort or stress.

“Another great experience with Rose! Our dog Wednesday loves her visits there and loves playing with Rose’s dog and cat. We love that Rose provides a quick daily update, usually with a picture, so we know Wednesday is enjoying her vacation as much as we’re enjoying ours. I can relax so much more knowing that she’s in good hands.”


“Kirsten was great and very helpful with boarding my dog while I was traveling. I would recommend her services to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets when needed.”


About: I've been caring for dogs since childhood and have always had a dog as an adult. I currently have 2 dogs and the help of the whole family, especially our animal loving and training daughter (I lead all care and activity). Whether it be puppyhood, senior care, or medical issues including special diets and medication, I'm comfortable with a wide range of individualized instructions. I am centrally located in Mt. Washington with the benefits of a fenced-in back yard, a dog park and hiking trails within blocks. Additionally, I take walks every day and our guests are promised to have plenty of opportunities to play and receive attention. I love dogs! Pet care is a part of life each and every day. Times of day are insignificant as pet care happens very early, late at night, and all the time in between as needed. haIve a fenced in yard, comfy cushions (and couches although less preferred), and a crate available if that's requested. Dogs are walked daily with one walk somewhere from 1-5 miles and given endless opportunities to play (and learn). I can bathe dogs as well but shy away from grooming. My dogs are fed 2-3 times daily with treats when appropriate; no people food. I personalize all care based on needs and requests.

“Eronda was an awesome dog sitter for Alley! Not only was she conveniently located, she was very professional and loving towards our pup. Eronda kept us well informed with texts and videos of our pup while away. She was very responsive and answered any question or concerns we had. I would recommend Eronda if you’re looking for a professional, loving, caring person to watch your pet.”


“Raeann was great with my dog! My dog is very anxious so I was hesitant about leaving him. We set up a meet and great prior to my trip and all my hesitations were gone. She kept me updated constantly and sent pics during the course of my trip to keep me updated. She took him for walks, played with him and made a comfortable environment for him. I will definitely use raeann again.”


“Zeiydah is a lifesaver! She helped our family with very short notice. Zeiydah sent pictures multiple times per day to ease the anxiety of leaving our pet behind. We will use her again.”


“Abby and Jason were awesome and we felt so comfortable leaving Rosie with them! They had great communication and were really flexible with our meet and greet and pick up times. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a rover!”


“Adam was fantastic with Macy! He sent daily pictures of their activities; even twice on most days! Kept us up-to-date on all things and really gave us peace of mind leaving Macy behind for two weeks. We would 110% reach out to Adam again the next time we need a sitter for Macy.”



“Athena was very happy when I picked her up, It was like she was on vacation while I was gone. I will definitely be having Adrienne watch Athena again.”


“Annie was wonderful! She took amazing care of Stuart and provided us with daily updates. This was the first time we have left him with anyone and we were not sure how he would do. But he seemed to love his stay with Annie and we felt very comfortable having him stay with her. We will absolutely reach out to Annie for future stays!”


“Theresa saved the day for us! Our sitter had to cancel the week before our trip and Theresa was a perfect fit for our 13 year old senior girls. She was so incredibly patient with them and all of their quirks. She took care of eye drops, eye ointment, special diets, poor vision and hearing, cleaning eyes and faces, making pony tails and letting someone hide under the covers when it stormed. Theresa just went above and beyond as far as we are concerned and will be delighted to have the girls stay with her anytime!”


“Oliver loved his stay! Xiang and Scott communicated so well and made us feel comfortable the whole time.”


“Tessa takes such great care of Leo! He is a senior hound; he takes daily medicines and has separation anxiety. Tessa does an awesome job of keeping him calm and happy. I always appreciate her daily updates!”


“Chang was excellent. My dog Marley went with her and never looked back. There was lots of communication and pictures. I would definitely request her again”



“Pam was so accommodating for Ginger. She kept us updated with status and pictures and this allowed us to relax knowing she was being cared for. I'd definitely recommend Pam as a sitter for anyone looking for that extra care. We plan to use her again in the future.”
