1. Julie & Brian C.
“Thank you SO much! Julie and Brian were able to help us out when another sitter backed out last minute. Lucy had the best time with Julie, Brian, and Horatio!”


2. Tamara R.

“Tamara is an excellent sitter. My shaggy had to have some meds for a torn nail. Tamara and bf went to Walmart to get the meds which I thought was awesome. I will continue with Tamara for my Shaggy and recommend her for your pets .”


3. Sara & Phil H.


“First time leaving our pup and couldn’t be more appreciative of the care he received from Sara and Phil! Very accommodating, kept in constant contact with updates and photos. Will definitely be booking and recommending them in the future!”


4. Tatyana B.

“Tanya is AMAZING! She took my boys out every day to run, and they got along wonderfully with her dog and family. Videos and pictures frequently. All good stuff”


5. Jennifer H.

“Jennifer took such good care of Mika while we were on vacation. She sent me photos and updates every day and gave me a full report when I came to pick her up. She has two dogs of her own and treated Mika like one of her own. She is a very nice and down-to-earth person and you can tell she loves animals. I highly recommend her and will certainly use her again in the future.”


6. Morgan P.


“Morgan is very sweet and attentive. My dog seemed to enjoy his 2 day stay. A few pics were sent as well as texts so I knew he was in great hands. She has a great backyard and her children also helped to entertain my pet. Definitely recommend Morgan if your dog thrives on being the only pet cared for and being surrounded by a loving family.”


7. Laura & Martha R.


“Celine was so happy and well taken care of with Laura and Martha (who are both so sweet and nice!) - they have a backyard which isn’t something I have at my house anymore, so I’m sure Celine loved it. They kept me updated with tons of photos and videos (I love it!) and asked questions when needed. I’d definitely bring her back next time she needs a sitter!”


8. Cheryl G.

“We are so excited to have found Cheryl! It's wonderful to know our dog will be in good hands when we have to leave her behind. Cheryl is knowledgeable, you can tell she has been working with dogs for long time. She always keeps you up to date with messages and plenty of pictures. It was obvious our dog had such a great time playing with her friend Bella. Search no more this is the one!”


9. Andressa & Alex R.

“After our goldendoodle Remus stayed at his vet’s boarding last time, we vowed to never let him stay there again. Thankfully, his stay with Andressa and Alex was everything typical boarding wasn’t. We got daily updates, Remus got to play with their dog, he came home happy, tired, and with no anxiety. His transitions were great, and his care by Andressa and Alex was even better. We will absolutely use them any time we can’t bring Remus with us! Don’t go with typical boarding and use this amazing family instead! We were actually able to enjoy our trip knowing we didn’t have to worry about our pup.”


10. Rosalva S.

“Ro was phenomenal! She made the whole process of us going out of town so easy. Her and her husband were great with our two dogs. We’ve used Rover before, but Ro has to be our all-time favorite. I’m pretty sure our girls were upset when they realized we were going home and Ro wasn’t going to be there. Her daily photos were great and we were so comfortable leaving our girls in her hands. I’m pretty sure our girls can’t wait for us to go out of town again just so they can stay with Ro. ???”


11. Megan B.


“I have one dog that’s the most social, but my little one is very neurotic and shy! Megan and her husband took the best care of my boys! And I’m amazed at how comfortable my little one eventually felt around them! I was so comfortable and didn’t have to worry with the amazing communication and photos and videos. I can tell my boys had a blast and were treated like part of the family! Will definitely book again and recommend anyone that needs to leave their babies with someone. I’d give 10 stars if I could!! Thank you sooooo much!!”


12. Tressa M.

“Outstanding, has a heart and passion of gold. My baby was treated with such love and care. I was able to be at peace while away because of Tressa! I can’t say “thank you” enough!”


13. Ina & Hristiyan V.

“Ina and Hristiyan were amazing! They watched our kitten during our vacation and always updated us with pictures and videos. Will be having them watch our kitty again next time we go somewhere.”




14. Andrea C.

“Andrea is a wonderful second mom for Brutis. She is very patient with Brutis and he really likes being there with her. This is not our first time and won't be our last time with Mommy Andrea.”


15. Francesca D.

“Francesca took great care of Callie while I was away! She was communicative, provided regular updates, and my pet seemed happy and well cared for. I would recommend her and would book again!”


16. Arielle A.

“Cade loves going to Arielles and we appreciate her being flexible with our schedule. We’ve used her for boarding a few times now and will continue to book for future stays.”


17. Joan E.

“Joan took great care of our Oliver. It was his first time having to stay away from the family and she made him feel comfortable. We loved getting all of the photos of our little guy while he was staying with her. We will contact Joan the next time we take a trip that isn't puppy friendly :)”

About: About us as a Pet Sitters: We have been lifelong pet owners and enthusiasts, with extensive experience caring for animals at all stages of life, from playful puppies to senior pets requiring extra attention. We provide a loving, responsible, and smoke-free home environment where your pet will be treated as part of the family. I am married but my wife works at an office and is usually not home til after 4pm with the kids so I will be the one taking care of your furry friends solely. Additionally, if you have a puppy, that’s an added bonus! We have a 9-year-old son and an 11-year-old daughter who adore animals and would love to shower them with attention, playtime, and affection. Rest assured, your pet will receive the highest level of care, love, and companionship while staying with us. We look forward to the opportunity to care for your furry family member! Our Home Environment & Daily Pet Care I currently work remotely from home, which allows me to be present and attentive to pets throughout the day without any interruptions. My work hours are from 9 AM to 6 PM, with a dedicated one-hour lunch break during which I can take dogs out for walks if needed. This ensures that they get fresh air, exercise, and mental stimulation on a regular basis. In addition to scheduled walks, we have a secure, fenced backyard where pets can safely roam, play, and take care of their business as needed. This provides a comfortable and flexible environment for both high-energy dogs who love to run and those who prefer a more relaxed outdoor space. With my remote work setup and our pet-friendly home, your furry companion will always have a watchful and caring presence, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for throughout the day. A Loving, Pet-Friendly, and Safe Home Environment As a dedicated pet-loving family, we treat all animals in our care as cherished members of our household. Our home is designed to provide a warm, welcoming, and comfortable environment where pets feel safe, loved, and right at home. In our household, pets are encouraged to relax on the furniture and even snuggle up in bed if that’s what they are accustomed to. We believe in creating a stress-free and nurturing space where they can enjoy their stay without unnecessary restrictions. Our property features a securely fenced backyard with ample space for running, playing, and exercise, ensuring plenty of opportunities for outdoor activity in a safe environment. Inside, our home has tile flooring, allowing pets to roam freely while maintaining a clean and hygienic space. However, bedroom doors will remain closed as those areas are carpeted. Safety & Compatibility Guidelines To ensure a safe and harmonious environment for all pets, we do not accept aggressive dogs. All dogs in our care must be well-socialized and able to get along with other dogs, as we may be hosting multiple pets at a time. We have a strict policy of sitting a maximum of four dogs per day, ensuring that each pet receives the attention, care, and supervision they deserve. With our deep love for animals and a home designed for their comfort, we strive to provide a safe, enjoyable, and stress-free experience for every pet in our care. If you’re looking for a responsible and loving environment for your furry friend, we’d love the opportunity to welcome them into our home!


19. Kaitlyn B.

“Kaitlyn was awesome! She took such good care of our pup and spoiled her even more than we do. She was very communicative and gave a lot of updates and pictures throughout each day while she was dog sitting. She took all of the information we gave about our dog and followed our preferences without any hesitation. She had other dogs and cats staying and was very attentive to make sure they were all well taken care of. Easy drop off and pick up. I will absolutely have her take care of our dog again.”


20. Katherine S.

“Katherine was great, Vader really enjoyed his stay with her! She kept me up to date on how he was doing and sent me pictures frequently. I’d highly recommend her and will be using her in the future.”
