“Tammy gave me updates and shared photos of the dogs while we were away for a long weekend. She had fun toys available for them to play with. The dogs were happy and content when I picked-up them up. I would definitely ask her to dog sit again.”


“Camile and her husband Joe are a lovely couple who work together to give the best care for your baby. They have a beautiful, clean home with a large, wonderful, fenced backyard. My elderly dog was treated like a little king...and he had a walk to the park every day. They do a stellar job!”

“Thank you for boarding Penny for the past 2 nights. You always take awesome pictures and detailed reports! It looks like she always has a blast staying with you. I appreciate it!”

“Jamie took excellent care of our Hank. We got loads of updates and photos. Our pups got along great and we're a match for energy and play. We were able to do a meet and greet which went fantastic! Would recommend to anyone!”

“Thank you Ian for being so caring and understanding with our lovely dogs. We appreciate your kindness patience and care. We knew they were in good hands and really loved all the pictures! We could tell they were comfortable. Thank you again.”

“Rico and his wife were such a great hosts for Wylie. We felt so good about leaving him in good hands. They played with him in their yard, walked him, and just overall took great care of him. He is excited for his next stay and we are definitely booking with Rico again.”

“Rima was amazing with our pup. We felt at peace to leave Milo with her while on vacation. We received pictures and updates on his adjusten and it was a great feeling to know he's OK and we didn't have to worry about him at all. Thanks Rima.”

“We had a fantastic first experience with leaving our pup Ace for 4 days/3 nights. We were given updates with pics and videos multiple times a day which eased all our minds at leaving our 4 legged family member while we were on a ski trip. Joe is clearly knowledgeable on how to acclimate a dog to new surroundings and caretaker. We appreciate his insight as a certified dog trainer; we are lucky to have been connected to him and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”

“Jacob was a fantastic sitter for Shaq! He was always very responsive, provided regular updates, and even made sure Shaq got his playtime indoors when the wildfire smoke outside was hazardous. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter that will provide your pup with peace of mind while you're away!”

“Jasmine did a great job, taking care of our dog James she sent pictures and updates, and our dog came back very happy. We will be rebooking with her in the future!”

“Diana and Scott are wonderful. Ruby has stayed with them several times and she's always comfortable and happy at their home. They're communicative and kind and make traveling so easy, never having to worry that Ruby is receiving the best care.”


“Arlene was easy to work with and communicative throughout the entire booking and boarding process. Our dog came home happy. I would recommend Arlene to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”


“Iwona was wonderful with Symmie! She sent us tons of lovely pictures and messages. I met her, her daughter, and Baxter before we Symmie's stay, and they were all very kind. I was a little bit nervous because Symmie can get shy around bigger dogs, but Baxter wasn't pushy at all. I would definitely recommend Iwona and her family!”

“Another awesome stay with Darla, Greg, and Shandy! They always allow Zoe to make herself right at home and we are so appreciative. Daily photos and check ins were amazing — we loved seeing Zoe enjoying their yard, playtime with Shandy, and cuddling up inside. Can’t thank them enough!”


About: Hi! I'm a seasoned pet caretaker with experience caring for dogs and cats, including puppies, senior pets, and pets with special medical or behavioral needs. I grew up with dogs and have been a petsitter, dog walker, and a pet foster mom for many years. I have experience training dogs, administering medication, and preparing meals for special diets. I know that every dog or cat is different, and I tailor my care to their specific needs and personalities. I provide the level of experience you can trust and the loving care your pet will enjoy! I work from home and have a flexible schedule during the week. When petsitting, I'm able to accommodate as many walks as your dog prefers and lots and lots of play time! I'm also free on weekends. I strive to keep your pet's routine and comfort level the same as if you were there. I know consistency is key to a happy cat or dog! For dogs that I board, I live right next to beautiful Winnemac Park, which pups really love (on a leash, of course). I do live in a third floor walk-up, so boarded dogs would need to be able to handle stairs, or be comfortable with/small enough to be carried. Also, please note: I have a full-time remote job. It's very flexible and leaves me with lots of time for walks, potty breaks, meds, feeding, play time, etc. But on weekdays I will need to be at my computer (including occasional 30-60 min zoom calls) throughout the day. On weekends, I will not be working.

“Tracy and Rick are the best! We had some travel delays and Tracy was happy to accommodate our schedule. Our pup, Romy, is always so happy to stay there ☺️”

“David made my pup feel right at home! I was gone for a few days and David took care of Bernie like he was his own! Bernie got to play with other dogs and even eat a Thanksgiving feast. I’ve never seen him so tuckered out and well behaved afterwards! I am so relieved and felt truly safe leaving my dog with David! Would absolutely book him again!”

“Irene was amazing for our dog’s short stay! She sent regular updates with photos, followed our instructions, and Alkali was cozy while staying at their house. We will book her again.”

Having Watson stay in Brian's home for 4 days while I visited family gave me such peace of mind. I received daily photos and updates, and could tell Watson was comfortable and relaxed with his new surroundings — and with the resident pup, too! Highly recommend Brian for anyone looking for a safe, loving place to entrust their four-legged family member. Thanks, Brian, for taking such great care of Wats while I was away!

Absolutely amazing Rover! Leaving your pup is always stressful, but Maria made it as easy as possible. Lots of pupdates and, when I had travel delays, she helped navigate the app and was willing to lengthen his stay! Easily the best Rover I have ever had. I cannot recommend Maria enough.

Sarah was SO GREAT with our two little dogs!!! She sent pictures and videos every day while we were away, and little notes about how they were doing- the good and the bad, when one of our dogs decided that her plant was a perfect place to sit. :) THANK YOU SARAH and we look forward to trusting you with our little ones again when we need you!!!

Once in a while you find a really great dog sitter. Yuliya is truly a gem. She is the kind of dog sitter that welcomes your pet into her home and cares for your dog like it was her own.I did a meet and greet with her to introduce my dog to a new space and I knew right away that I would be leaving my furry friend in the right good hands. She kept daily communications and photos with me, just to let me know things were going well. I’m grateful I found such a gem of a sitter with Yuliya.

Thank you so much for the wonderful care you gave Junior. He is a senior dog and can suffer from separation anxiety and at time refuse to eat, but your frequent updates and attentive care put my mind totally at ease. Seeing how sweet your children were with Junior made the stay extra special. He absolutely loved the kiddos, playing in the backyard, and going on his daily walks. Junior came home incredibly happy. You will absolutely be our go-to sitter moving forward! Review Highlights * Anxiety-Free Stay: Handled senior dog worry with gentle, loving attention. And frequent photo and updates * Kid-Friendly Cuddles: Junior loved snuggling and bonding with the children. * Active & Happy: Great backyard playtime and daily walks kept him thriving. * Future Booking: Officially our new permanent, go-to pet sitter.

Regina had another wonderful stay with Brenda, Milo, and Boozer! They are great communicators and kept us updated with messages and adorable photos throughout the stay. They were also very flexible when our flight was delayed on the way home. We picked up a happy dog who was very comfortable with them. Thanks to Brenda and Milo again for another great stay. We will be reaching out again soon!

Alysson was absolutely amazing! I left my 10-week-old puppy with her for overnight boarding from 2:30pm. until 2:30pm. the following day, and she made the entire experience so easy. She kept me updated throughout his stay, and I could tell he was genuinely happy and comfortable with her. She took him on plenty of walks, gave him lots of attention, and made sure he slept well. Alysson is clearly wonderful with dogs and treated my puppy with so much care. I am a very nervous dog mom, but she completely put me at ease. I will absolutely book with her again, 10/10! I am so grateful to have found her!

Highly recommend Sarah! My Goldendoodle Charlie loved his extended stay while we were on vacation. It was truly like a vacation for him. Sarah has great house with huge backyard. Kids and family that love to give your dog attention. Sarah sent some pics and did some walks. 5 star hotel for dog. Thank you!!
