“My 2 little ones stayed with Julie and Brian and they were great! Lots of pictures and they were very welcoming and responsive. I will definitely reach out to them again.”


“Francesca was amazing! She sent pictures of my dog during her check-ins, and it was clear he was having a blast in her fenced-in backyard, running around and playing with his ball. I would definitely recommend her!”


“If We could leave 6 we would. Surprisingly our babies wanted to come home. Best boarders you could want. Our two had better Vaca then we did!”



“Amanda is amazing!! we’ve had her watch our dogs twice now and both times she has sent pictures daily and updated us on how they’re doing. we will be using her to watch our dogs everytime!”


“I’m not typically one for rave reviews, but it’s easy to rave about Linda! She is kind, caring, and so good with my rescue dog Coco. Coco was in a cage for years so she has separation anxiety. And Linda knew just what to do to put her at ease. She also sent lots of pictures, stayed in constant contact, and asked all of the right questions. If I could give 10 stars I would.”


“Billy was a fantastic sitter for Shadow, our collie / corgi mix. Billy watched / boarded Shadow for a 30 days and all went smoothly. He sent us updates / photos each day and was very responsive if we ever had to communicate with him. Also, Billy only watches one dog at a time so owners don’t have to worry about other animals being with yours. My wife and I would definitely recommend Billy to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”


“Dawn did an excellent job watching Mav and I’ve already booked her again!”


“Soooooo Happy I found Leeza & Carlos… so is my pup! They were so accommodating and even kept him an extra night! Can’t wait to use them again!”


“Lauren and Austin were absolutely amazing! They are true dog lovers who went above and beyond to make Kaia feel like part of their family. Their communication was excellent, keeping me updated with pictures and messages so I always knew how Kaia was doing. I could tell she was happy, loved, and well-cared for throughout her stay. I can’t recommend them enough and would trust them with Kaia again in a heartbeat!”


“First time using Rover and was very happy with the care Kaitlyn provided to Rusty. Will use Rover again and recommend Kaitlyn. She provided frequent updates with pictures which was reassuring that he was doing well.”


“Pam did a great job caring for Ella! I got daily little updates and photos! I know Ella had a great time and was comfy and safe. I’d use Pam again in the future!”


“Our fur baby, McKenna, stayed with Angela and Kenneth this past weekend and had an obvious blast. We enjoyed getting the pics and videos showing all the activities they were doing with her. They really treated her like their own and took exceptional care of her. We are looking forward to having her stay with them again! Highly recommend!”



“Absolutely love this family! And most importantly, so did our dog Scout! He’s already missing the big backyard they have and all the sweet loving he received from Lindsey & her family. Will 100% be booking again with her!! Thank you so much Lindsey 🥰”


“Tiffany provided an amazing home away from home for my dog lambeau while watching him! Her backyard was perfect for Lambeau to run around and explore. I will definitely be using Tiffany in the future!”


“Lindsey was a very good choice for my one day emergency boarding. I was in treasure island Fl with the family and at last minute we decided to take an excursion however Rambo was not allowed on the trip.😑 I reached and Lindsey was ready and me and the family are all very thankful she was available. She opened up her home and heart to our extended family member Rambo.. Once again thank you for your hospitality”


“Nicole was so great with our 2 dogs! She was very flexible when we had an emergency and had to move our booking by a couple days, and always quickly responds to any message. Her home is set in a quiet and clean neighborhood so I had no worries about the dogs getting into any mischief. The home was set up to be very dog friendly, and she even had toys and a fenced in backyard that she left the door open to when we first got there so the dogs could explore as they needed to feel comfortable. She sent updates and pictures and videos frequently, and even got our picky anxious boy to eat while we were gone (a true feat!) I wish we lived in this area because we would use Nicole for all our dog sitting needs. You can tell she truly cared for our boys like they were her own.”


“Derik and Laura were amazing sitters! They were very caring, easy to get in contact with, and understanding of our needs/asks for Milo. They sent photos daily as well as small updates on how Milo was doing during the stay. We are excited to use them again and would highly recommend them to all other dog owners!”


About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own pets as well as those of friends and family, and I bring both reliability and a genuine love for animals to every pet I care for. I’ve raised my dog Josephine from 8 weeks old—she’s a sweet, social little mutt who loves meeting new furry friends. I’m experienced with both puppies and senior dogs, and I’m always attentive to their individual needs and personalities. I work from home on a freelance basis, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m often available on short notice and can provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I currently live in a ground-floor apartment with a fenced-in patio, perfect for safe outdoor time and potty breaks. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or calm companionship, I’m here to make them feel at home. Pet care is naturally woven into my daily routine. Since I work from home as a freelancer, I have the flexibility to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime in my fenced patio, feeding schedules, or just some mid-day cuddles, I’m able to accommodate their needs without rushing. My own dog, Josephine, keeps me active and engaged, so caring for other pets fits seamlessly into that rhythm. I genuinely enjoy the companionship and find that having animals around makes my days better. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or a client’s, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home, pets have access to a secure, fenced-in patio for outdoor time, plenty of space to relax, and lots of attention throughout the day. I keep their routines as close to normal as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions like medications or crate training. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their specific routines and household rules to help their pet feel at ease. I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and respectful communication while keeping pet parents updated with messages and photos. My goal is always to create a calm, trustworthy environment so each pet feels comfortable and cared for, whether they’re with me or in their own space.

“A stunning experience with Erandi! She has a beautiful home with a fantastic outdoor space for the pups. I got tons of photo updates and didn't doubt for a second that they weren't in good hands. Pups came back feeling great, not stressed, will definitely book again.”


“Susan was great with my girls. They were happy and healthy after a week at her home. Susan sent pictures and updates to let us know that they were good. Thank you Susan and we will be leaving the girls with you again.”

Erandi did a great job looking after Nike. He came back home super happy and looked like he had a great time!

Thank you so much Lindsay! I had to do a last minute booking and it went very well. I never have to be concerned when Lindsay is looking after my pets. They really love her. I will be using Lindsay again very soon. If anyone is looking for a petsitter I 100% can recommend Lindsay.

Felicia looked wonderful when she came home. Jennifer sent pictures everyday that showed Felicia was enjoying herself. We would use Jennifer again and again as a Rover. Five star service. Took care of her very well.

Allene is absolutely fantastic with our boys! Her warm and attentive care makes all the difference. The backyard is a dream for them—they love spending time playing and exploring. We also have a cuddler, and Allene provides endless cuddles that make them feel right at home. Every time we board them, they eat well, play joyfully, and come back healthy and happy. We’re so grateful for the love and care she gives. Thank you, Allene, for treating them like family!

Thanks again to Pam, our dog Rooney had another wonderful stay with Pam! Pam is so informative about how Rooney is eating, socializing etc. We can always go away and not worry about our pet when she is in the care of Pam.

Elida always takes such good care of our Maizy girl. She’s very compassionate and knowledgeable about caring for senior dogs on medication. We highly recommend her!

Horatio loves it at Arleen’s house. She sends us the best photos of H living his best life, and he comes home healthy and happy.

Can’t say enough good things about Brittany! She kept our 11 year old minpin mix who’s our baby when we were gone for two weeks for our wedding. Brittany and her husband instantly made us feel comfortable about leaving Little with them and was great about sending updates. Great to know we have someone we can trust to watch her. Will definitely be a repeat client!

Lauren and Austin take care of bubba like one of their own and that brings me so much piece of mind.

Nicole was wonderful! She was communicating with us through our dogs whole stay (it was our first time with Nicole). Because she works from home, she was able to keep Millie’s usual schedule of things. She treated Millie as her own, and we will definitely be using her again!!

Andrea always takes the sweetest care of our girl, she is loving and provides a wonderful space for our dog to feel comfortable and ‘at home’ while we are away. 11/10 stars!!

We needed a last minute boarder for our pups due to an unexpected 7 day trip and we are so happy that Joseph responded to our request. He was generous with pics and feedback and we felt comfortable leaving our boys (2) at his house. I definately recommend Joseph to watch your fur babies and will be contacting him myself for future needs. Thank you again, Joseph!!

Lauren was great!! They kept my dog happy and exercised him multiple times a day, he had a great time!

Laurie was amazing! Highly appreciated the frequent updates and the love my pup got while I was away. :)

So happy to have found Will to keep my dog, Mabel! I had such peace of mind knowing she was well taken care of and happy. His fenced, shaded yard is perfect and I loved that she got to go on walks! We already have our next time booked.

Jillian was great and we’ll use her again!! She was communicative, flexible, sent us the cutest photos, and just all around the best!
Tracy is always great with Jameis. She’s very organized and always gives us lots of updates. Jameis is always sad to leave when we pick him up. Highly recommend Tracy!

Joshua was great! He eased our anxiety of leaving our dogs over night for the first time with regular communication and photos. My dogs came home happy and healthy! I would definitely use his services again.
