“Allison clearly loves dogs and looks after all of them with great love and joy! She provided my two dogs a safe home away from home for 5 nights. She gave Ruby her medicine and made sure all their needs were met. She is excellent and we will be back!”


“Wonderful couple! They give your pet lots of love and ensure that your pet is happy and well taken care of. They send photos and updates on a regular basis. I would recommend highly to use this couple for dogsitting your loving pet! Amazing! I am definitely having them again!”


“From the first contact, I loved James' response. He first asked about meeting Neo to see if he would be a good match for his family, which gave me peace. He kept in contact by sending us pics and updates during our time away. No regrets! 🙏🏻”


“Katie watched our dog, who is almost 2, for a couple of nights recently. I was very comfortable dropping him off and leaving him with her and her family. I love the at home experience she gave him, as opposed to kennels. Our dog is on special food and she took great care to make sure he didn’t get into her pets’ food. We will definitely use Katie again to take care of Linus.”


“We boarded our dog, Guinness, with Heather and Norman for two days, and they were absolutely wonderful! Heather and Norman were sweet and took excellent care of Guinness. They took him for walks and even sent us photos. It was clear that Guinness and their dog, Zeus, got along so well and had a great time playing together. Now that he's home, Guinness seems sad and misses Zeus. We will definitely use Heather and Norman's services again. Highly recommended!”



“Kathryn and Jeremy were great, can't recommend them enough. They were extremely communicative both before Bella's stay and during, updating us with pictures etc throughout the day. The couple are very well versed in dog behavior/needs and asked all the right questions to make us feel confident Bella was going to be well cared for and safe. When we picked Bella up she was very comfortable in their home and was resting with Kathryn and Jeremy. If you are looking for trustworthy couple to watch your pup with love and attention, this is it!”


“Kim was the perfect dog sitter for our one-year-old miniature labradoodle! She took great care of our dog, sending pictures and updates and always responding quickly to any questions. Next time we travel, we will absolutely go to Kim again. Thank you so much!! :)”


“Our dog, Otis's first weekend stay with John seemed to be a success!!! Otis was tired and happy after romping with other dogs also boarding. Otis will be coming back for a longer stay very soon!”


“My 2 greyhounds just got back from another great stay with Karina. They could not wait to see her when we dropped them off! We love seeing her daily updates and we know they are getting well cared for while we’re away. Highly recommend.”


“Impressed ? my 1 yr Pitt is a hand full. The love, attention, care, that was given to my Pitt and always responsive back to me was the very appreciated. I’m so thankful and blessed to have you as the sitter. Will be doing it again!!??”


About: Hi there! I'm Ashley, a lifelong dog lover and work-from-home mom ready to give your pup the care and comfort they deserve. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs, especially after caring for my fur daughter, my sweet long-haired Chihuahua who was by my side for 17 wonderful years. I understand the slower pace and extra TLC that older pups need, and I’m here to provide just that. We’ve also had two German Shepherd mixes in the past, so I’m no stranger to larger breeds. While I typically prefer small to medium-sized dogs for our home setup, I’m open to exceptions for well-mannered larger dogs — especially seniors. Because I work from home and my kids are at daycare during the day, it’s just me and your pup…which means plenty of calm, one-on-one attention and companionship in a quiet environment. I know how stressful it can be to find care you trust…especially when options in our area are limited. That’s why I treat every dog like family, with love, routine, and lots of affection. I’ll care for your furry loved one as if they were my own and will happily share updates and photos as often as you'd like to give you peace of mind while you're away. I provide attentive, loving care while fitting seamlessly into my daily routine. Because I work from home with a lot of flexibility, I can offer daily daycare with plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. I’m also happy to provide overnight boarding for dogs who need a home-away-from-home. Throughout, I’ll keep you updated as much as you’d like, so you always feel comfortable and connected. I care for dogs in a safe, comfortable home environment where your dog will be treated like a valued family member. While I don’t have a fenced backyard, your dog will always be supervised and safe. They’re always free to explore and relax throughout the home. Because pets are part of the family, we often allow them on the couch and beds to snuggle and feel at home, but I’m always happy to follow your preferences to make sure your fur baby feels comfortable and loved.

“MJ and Tyler were super responsive, very pleasant people to interact with, and Rosie seems to have had a great time with them. They sent lots of photos during her stay, which I loved. I plan on booking them again!”


“Our 3 year old border collie was well cared for by Cruz Maria and her husband. He got plenty of playtime in the fenced back yard. Cruz Maria sent us plenty of pictures and updates throughout the stay. He came back to us very happy and healthy. We will place Scout with them again”


“Katrini and her family are absolutely one of a kind. They take in your furry family member as their own. My little boy always enjoys his time with everyone. Truly a home away from home!”


About: I’ve been a devoted dog mom for my entire adult life, opting for fur babies over physical children. I’m the proud momma of a Yorkie, German Shepherd and Bernese Mountain Dog. I also volunteer as a foster with New England Puppy Rescue (NEPR). I believe that sharing our lives with dogs is one of life’s greatest joys. And while there’s few things I enjoy more than cozy days home with my babies, I also have a strong passion for travel. For years I have tried an assortment of different pet sitters and it’s been a bit frustrating. We’ve had sitters where their prices jumped substantially without warning. Ones that have promised to send photos and then provided minimal updates during their stay. And others that were hard to coordinate dates with. But worst of all we’ve dealt with too many that didn’t quite feel like the right fit. They lacked that feeling of warmth and connection. Over these experiences I have learned that it can feel impossible at times to find the care that truly puts your mind at peace. And so I’ve decided to become that in which I seek. I want to be a safe haven for others - so that when you’re out of town you can feel the truest sense of comfort knowing your beloved pets are in the best care possible. Not only will I treat your dogs like they’re my own - spoiled with plenty of playtime and affection - but I will provide daily report cards and beautiful candid photos. I am a firm believer in building relationships with my clientele so you’ll feel comfortable each and every time you need my care. My three dogs are incredibly sweet and will also make for great hosts, if you should decide to have us watch your little cutie in our home. We have a beautiful, spacious partially fenced in yard. A fenced in pool with its own puppy deck for those hot days when the pups want to bask in a few inches of splash time (life jackets are an option). We also have a gated deck so everyone can hang outside together without any concern of wildlife. For drop-in dog walking visits, I can come with my Bernese Mountain Dog if you prefer. So your angel gets some puppy playtime while we get their exercise in. I am flexible to make sure you’re getting the customized care your little one needs. I even offer an add-on option of airport pickup and dropoff if you’re traveling. Whatever you need, I’m willing to work with you to become your trusted go-to for your pet’s needs. I work entirely remote so I’m with my dogs nearly 24/7. Whether lounging around at home, enjoying playtime outside in the yard or going for nice walks my life is devoted to my own fur family. And I’d love to pay it forward and offer my devoted care to your pets for those times when you can’t be nuzzled up at home with them. My dogs are treated like family. They have full run of the house with toys scattered about. On beautiful days we hang out for hours on our gated deck. And in the summertime they love coming out to our fenced in pool for playtime complete with a sun shelf which serves as a fun, puppy splash pad. Every moment is fully supervised. Especially when we are outdoors. Our backyard is partially fenced but for all of our fur-guests I will be personally taking them out on leash for potty breaks. While our dogs are incredibly obedient and frolick about off-leash in our yard I never want to chance an escape artists for our fur-guests. My dogs love to snuggle on the couches and bed and we never deny them that. Which is the same way we’d welcome a new friend into the mix. We’re used to dog hair everywhere :) For dog walking visits I can come solo or bring along my sweet Bernese Mountain Dog, Willie. Whichever you prefer! Whatever your needs - just ask. I’m happy to accommodate your little one.

“Tina and Jordan took incredible care of our dog, Rae. As a nervous pet parent, I was so grateful for the frequent photo and video updates—they truly gave me peace of mind while we were away. From our very first meeting, I knew Rae was in the right hands, and now that she’s stayed with them, I honestly can't recommend them enough. They listened to all of my concerns, eased my worries, and were wonderfully flexible when our travel plans changed a bit.”


About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and began attending dog training sessions with my parents when I was just six years old. From age 6 to 16, I learned more than just commands—I learned how to connect with dogs, understand their behavior, and earn their trust. My mom always believed it was important to understand how dogs think, and that’s shaped how I care for animals today. Now, I share my home with Gracie, my sweet golden retriever, and two lovable female cats. Living with both dogs and cats has taught me how to balance different personalities and routines, and I love every minute of it. Over the years, I’ve dog-sat for friends and truly enjoy caring for all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pup is playful, shy, high-energy, or a senior in need of some extra TLC, I’ll be there with patience, respect, and lots of love. I genuinely believe dogs are better than people—so your pet will be treated like family while you're away. I'm comfortable with all breeds, offer dog walking and overnight stays, and will keep you updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. During the week, I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, but I’m completely open on weekends and available on all major holidays. Whether you’re headed out of town or just need someone to stop in and give your pup a walk or cuddle, I’ve got you covered. I have a fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play, but I never leave any dog unattended outside—supervision is always a must, even in a secure space. I believe in providing a safe, structured, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I share my home with my golden retriever, Gracie, who is super friendly and loves making new doggy friends. I also have two sweet female cats. All of my pets are spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, and used to sharing their space calmly and respectfully. Whether your dog is staying for a visit or just dropping by for playtime, you can feel confident knowing they’ll be safe, supervised, and treated like part of the family.
