We only used family in the past to watch Milo, so we were a bit nervous. Cindy was by far excellent. She took good care of him, gave him love as if he was her own. We recommend her highly.

Our dog Frida just finished her second boarding visit and loved her time with Brit and her family. It’s truly a home away from home for her. We got daily photos and updates. We have an older dog with diabetes and Brit was so helpful in being able to assist her in her feeding/medication requirements. Frida adores Brit, her family, and their dog and we look forward to using their services again moving forward!

About: Hi! My name is Patrycja! I’m a dedicated and loving dog sitter on Rover who truly enjoys caring for dogs like there’re my own. I know hot important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone, and my goal is to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes, ages and personalities-from energic pups who love playtime to older dogs who prefer a calm and gentle routine. I focus on keeping your dog comfortable by sticking to their normal schedule for feedings, walks and rest. I’m very attentive, patient and responsible. Your dog’s safety and happiness always comes first. I also provide regular updates, photos and messages so you always know how your furry friend is doing. I look forward to meeting you and your pup. Patrycja I’m currently not working, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your dog. I’m available Monday to Sunday. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for every pet in my home. Pets are treated like family and are never left alone for long periods. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special needs. Dogs get plenty of playtime, walks, and attention throughout the day, along with a comfortable place to rest. I also keep pet areas clean and ensure a calm, stress-free environment at all times.

Catherine was amazing! Her and her husband were very sweet and knowledgeable! They took the time to do a proper meet and greet which helped my dog get to know them and made my experience so comforting to know exactly where my dog would be as well as get to know who my dog would be staying with. They sent updates throughout the entire time. My dog was so happy, well cared for, and felt at home. Highly recommended booking Catherine!

Second time I have left my baby with Melissa (see my earlier review for how nervous I was to go on my first trip). She always has a good group of pups and my dog has the best time. I know he is safe and cared for as if he is one of her own. Thank you again!

Christine was absolutely amazing!! I wish I could give more stars!! This was the first time I’ve ever left my 16 1/2 year old dog with anyone and I can’t say enough great things about her!! She knew I was nervous and she gave me so many updates and videos daily!! But most of all gave my dog all the love and care anyone could ask for!! I am so happy we found her and will definitely use her again!! Thank you!

Amber took a last minute booking for my elderly 15 yo beagle this past weekend. My dog is not the easiest with dementia, urinary incontinence, hard of hearing and paces a lot. Despite all of those things, Amber took my dog in and cared for her with ease and so mooch compassion and patience. I am so grateful for the care and would definitely recommend her and use her again in the future!

My Scrappy (who is a 2 year old Pomeranian/ Poodle Mix male) stayed with Maria, Eric, and Penny (their fur baby girl) for 12 days. Scrappy and Penny had a meet and greet prior to booking. They hit it off. They were like long lost loves. Scrappy is one to be pretty scrappy at times, so I had to check the fence line because he likes to try to dig. They have a very secure backyard that made me feel comfortable to leave him there too. Maria said she would be out there with them, which made me feel better. But the fence was very secure anyway. Maria sent me photos and videos daily of Scrappy and Penny playing in the snowy backyard, napping together, and enjoying each other’s company. Scrappy seemed very happy and content staying with the family. Unfortunately, Scrappy had to say farewell to Penny for now. When I picked him up there was another fur friend there too, who was an elderly regular. He seemed like a sweetheart too. It was nice to see Scrappy had so many few friends. Maria’s sending us pictures and videos made me smile while we were away. It made me feel like he was doing well and he was happy and it provided me with a great sense of comfort to know he was being well taken care of. I would recommend Maria and her family for pet sitting. Maria herself was very nice and welcoming to me and my family. Eric seemed very pleasant and sweet and Penny was a beautiful and lovable dog, whom I wanted to bring home with us. Lol. Glad we picked them for Scrappy. Thank you Maria, Eric and Penny!!! All the best, Victoria, Tom and Scrappy

About: Ive taken care of my own, friends, and families, pets since I was little. I love to walk dogs and make sure they get the proper amount of exercise they need. I have had pets, both cats and dogs, since I was born and I feel confident in my ability to care for them. I am currently a college student in my last semester at Northeastern. I am only taking classes online so I have full availability during the day to walk your dog(s) or check in on your pets. I am willing to accommodate any needs your pet may have whether that means walking slowly, giving pills/medication during check ins, feeding your pet, etc.

Gaileen was AMAZING. I booked with her months in advance and it was a pleasant first meeting. Gaileen made sure to ask all the right questions with slate which made me feel in confident in what she was doing and the exceptional service she would and did provide. The communication during the stay was also appreciated as Gaileen kept me informed with pictures and status updates as well as reaching out regarding any questions that arise during the booking. Overall I would 100% recommended Gaileen for all others seeking a responsible trustworthy and dependable sitter who goes above and beyond. I would definitely book again.
