“Sue is a great sitter who was very accommodating and made our pup feel right at home. She followed our instructions and put our minds at ease and provided plenty of photos and updates on how our pup was doing. Will definitely ask her to watch our dog again in the future!”
“Bydette and her family are amazing with Kobe. They treat him like a member of the family and it shows as Kobe loves to hang out with Bydette and her family. He is always excited to see them and runs up the stairs when he sees Bydette. They are a very sweet and wonderful family and I'm so happy that we have found them. When you leave a member of your family with someone else, you always worry that they are ok and that they are enjoying their time when they are away from you. With Bydette and her family, there's no need to be worried as they will treat your pet as their family member and will show them the same love and attention that you do.”
About: I’ve been around dogs all shapes and sizes and ages ever since remember myself. I am a pet mom to a rescue cat and a beautiful dog I have listed my available days. I’m mostly home and kids love pets, all of us are very house broken and mellow. My dog is super friendly with everybody I have a fenced in decent size yard, and a cat and a dog to keep company. Pets are not allowed in the yard unsupervised though
“Great experience with Roobensky! He was VERY patient with my dog, who can be a very testy, grouchy old lady lol .. Roobensky is also very responsive and always kept me updated... 100% recommend”
“Sebastian was wonderful. We had a meet and greet before I left my dog for an overnight, which was a great call on Sebastian's part, it really helps the dogs get comfortable with each other and the environment. I received lots of pictures during my pup's stay, where I could see she was having fun and Sebastian even got her to eat (my dog often doesn't do this at the dog sitter, since she gets over anxious/excited). The house and yard were lovely and also nicely suited for puppies to run and play to their hearts' content. I'm very grateful to have had such a wonderful dogsitting experience with relatively short notice. Sebastian, thank you so much!”
“Dawn is amazing! She took such good care of our pup! She made sure she felt comfortable and safe. She even threw her a birthday Pawty! Since it was her birthday while we were away! Dawn sent us pics and gave us updates throughout her stay. Was so happy to find her!”
“Accommodated with short notice. Encouraged a meet and greet, even came to us due to our schedule. Immediately felt at ease leaving Fletcher for the day. He looked happy in the photos sent.”
“Trista was amazing. I found out that I had to go out of town without much warning, and she had no problem accommodating our last minute request and pupsitting my golden. Trista sent pictures and updates, which were great, and she was flexible with our pickup time since the snow affected my commute. Riley played so much that she was exhausted when we brought her home! I will definitely be rebooking this awesome sitter!”
“It was our dog's first night away from us and we feel so fortunate to have found Shaun S. Shaun and his family treated Betty with such love and took so much time to understand our dog, Betty's, routine and personality prior to her visit. It was so nice to receive so many pictures and even videos during her stay... he kept us posted the whole time. When I arrived to pick her up, Betty's tail was wagging as she "introduced" me to Shaun - along with his son and wife. What a lovely family and the perfect home to leave Betty. We already booked 2 more stays!”
“Kiara was absolutely great. Very professional and kind we felt Cartman was in the best of hands. She kept us informed and sent plenty of photos throughout his stay. Highly recommend! Phil”
“Another successful stay with Louis and his dog Barney! This time Blue stayed overnight and through the following day. He had lots of outdoor time, free time, dog play and human company. Barney, Louis’ dog and Blue were friendly with each other and were even seen chilling out together. Large yard, clean space, great people- I’m tempted to keep him our secret!”
“This was our trial run overnight stay for a longer stay we have coming up. Chris lives in a lovely area with a nice little fenced yard for the dogs to play and do their business. He has a cute smaller female mixed breed of his own. Our Finley over other dogs and had good playtime with her. I like that Chris only takes one doggie client at a time so that I know Finley will get the attention and care that he needs. Based on our successful overnight I am going to book Chris for our long trip. I don’t like making recommendations after only one overnight but I am confident that I will be doing just that after his next stay.”
“Sujanna was WONDERFUL! She took thoughtful care of our Toby and went above and beyond. Toby got lots of love and attention the entire time he was there. Toby will definitely be back. We highly recommend Sujanna!!!”
“This was the first time Ruby spent the day and night away from home since we adopted her at 6 months. She is now 11 months old. Aleja was wonderful. She sent pictures and brief statements reassuring me as to how Ruby was doing. I love her (Aleja's ) calm attitude and how she talked to and managed Ruby . I am planning to book her again next month for a longer visit.”
About: I am experienced in giving medication. Thoroughly experienced in behavioral training. I have no problem with multiple dogs in same household. I am experienced in all sizes of dogs. I am retired and available twenty four hours a day. I schedule all appointments around the scheduling of the dogs I care for, board or sit. I have a fenced in yard big enough to give 10 dogs plenty of room to roam. I have a steady pack, very friendly. I have never had a problem with fighting or personality problems.
“Amanda and her family took amazing care of my dog, Rylie! I received daily updates with pictures and thoughtful details about how she was doing, which gave me such peace of mind, especially since this was my first time leaving Rylie with a sitter. From the moment I met Amanda and her family, I could tell they were wonderful people who would treat Rylie like their own. The photos showed Rylie having so much fun, getting plenty of cuddles, and receiving lots of attention. I’m so grateful for the care they gave her and will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Maggie enjoyed her stay with Carolina! I felt very comfortable leaving Maggie there. I received updates and pictures during her stay. She also enjoyed playing with her dog Daisy! I will definitely be using Carolina again! Thank you so much Carolina for taking such good care of Maggie during her stay!”

Joe and his family helped us in a pinch. We are so happy to have found them! Their home, yard, family, everything really, was a perfect fit for our pup. I love that they only take one dog at a time as well. Our Clover got a lot of love and attention when she was there! Highly recommend and we hope to see them again!
Kathleen took exceptional care of Stinky whilst I was out of the country. It’s clear she is highly experienced with dogs and genuinely cares about them. I received regular updates throughout the stay, including lots of photos and videos of Stinky relaxing at home, playing in the garden with Bella and Sasha - who she really got on with - and out on walks. It was obvious Stinky was very happy and comfortable there. Thanks again for taking such great care of her - we’d definitely book again.
We left our energetic working lab with Lana for a week, and once again, she reminded us why we feel so comfortable leaving him with her. She goes to such efforts to keep him stimulated and tired out by the end of the day but also keeping him rested and safe. She always sends videos and photos, and talks about him in a way that we know he is being snuggled and well cared for. 10/10 would recommend! Thank you!
Sebastian is a wonderful pet sitter and groomer. He takes such great care of our fur babies! His love of all dogs is obvious and since he appreciates being a dog dad, he knows leaving your dog behind is hard so he thoughtfully sends daily photos and comments to us while we are away. Thank you Sebastian we’ll see you again!
Christina has taken care of our dogs several times now and always does a great job. Our dogs are always excited to arrive at her house. She sends lots of photos and gives updates often. She is very responsive to messages. Over the holidays she gives them little gifts and NYE pup cups. Originally, we chose Christina because she has experience taking care of dogs post-op and one of our dogs had a recent ACL surgery. She took great care of him. It was clear she knew what she was doing. She is also very knowledgeable about dogs in general. It’s worth mentioning that once we needed an extra night at the last minute due to a flight cancellation and she was very kind and accommodating. We highly recommend Christina.
Raj and Ken were very caring and thoughtful. They kept me informed about how my cat was adjusting to new surroundings, and what she was doing. I’m so pleased with Raj and Ken and will definitely contact them the next time I plan on going away, as well as recommend them. My cat was very well taken care of, and I totally trust and will rely on them again, even though it might not be until next summer!
