“Absolutely fantastic sitter. Her and her family took amazing care of my girls. She kept me updated daily and even sent me pictures of all the adventures they had. My dogs are my only family and finding someone to care for them in my absence is very stressful. Elisa took all the stress away and showed my girls all the love I would have. Would 1000% recommend to anyone that is looking for a loving home for their fur babies. Thank you Elisa! I will be booking again soon”
“Sarah and Aaron made our little King Charles feel like the Princess she believes herself to be, and she was very happy during her 15-day stay with them. They sent regular updates showing her daily life, and they did a great job keeping up with her heart medication. Our Dani will stay with Aaron and Sarah again and again.”
“I cannot say enough great things about Francis! She watched my senior dog, Madi, for a week while I was on vacation. Just before I dropped her off, Madi had been scratching and developed an issue with her eye pressure and had to start eye drops. Francis welcomed her with open arms. A few days into her stay, Madi needed a follow-up vet visit, and Francis took her in and handled everything—including her meds and eye drops—with so much care and attention. Madi is also on heart meds and requires extra support, and Francis went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well looked after. She sent me daily updates and photos of her relaxing on the couch or exploring her big backyard, which gave me so much peace of mind. I knew Madi was in loving, capable hands. Francis is kind, thoughtful, and clearly has a huge heart for animals—she had a senior dog herself so she understands. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Madi stay with Francis again. You are amazing, I can’t thank you enough!”
“My rescue Pom has major trust issues. Viktoryia did a great job of caring for her and gaining her trust. I would definitely recommend V. to anyone looking for a good spot for their furry friends. It’s so good to know I have a great spot for next time I need to find a Rover! Thank you Victoryia!”
“Thelma could not have been more warm and caring for our little poodle/bichon Rusty. Rusty fit in perfectly with her two small dogs and seemed to have a wonderful time. I feel very confident leaving our little boy with Thelma and look forward to having hers as his regular home away from home.”
“Evelyn, made sure our Bo was comfortable with her and the space. She is affectionate and knowledgeable about dogs! She was very attentive to our Bo and I received video, pictures and notifications of walks, etc. I felt really at ease leaving him. She even gave us some home made dog treats to take home with us. We will definitely be using Evelyn again!”
“I was very pleased with Vanessa's pet sitting . I have a senior dog so it requires some patience which did not seemed to be a problem for Vanessa. She was very responsive & easy to communicate with. She is warm & welcoming so I felt very comfortable leaving Aspen(our dog) with her.She leaves in a gated community, her home is uncluttered & neat. I will use her services again & highly recommend her services to anyone”
“Stephany did a fantastic job taking care of our cat, Tom. Daily updates, with photos, were sent. Tom acclimated very well. I would highly recommend you board your cat or dog with Spephany! Thanks again!”
About: As a lifelong dog lover and owner since childhood (5yrs old), I have a passion for providing exceptional care to our canine companions. With extensive experience in caring for dogs of all sizes, from Golden Retrievers and Labradors to Chihuahuas and Pomeranians, I am well-equipped to meet the unique needs of each furry friend. Throughout my life, I have had the pleasure of dog sitting for family and friends, and understand the importance of creating a warm and nurturing environment. My goal is to connect with your beloved pet and provide them with the enrichment and care they deserve. Whether your dog needs playtime, walks, or simply a cozy place to rest, I am committed to ensuring they feel loved and at home. I look forward to meeting you and your special companion! I have a very flexible schedule. I am available for both weekday & weekend overnight bookings. Either staying at your pets home. Or, welcoming your pet into my home (small & medium size dogs only please). Flexible with the stay length, ideally up to 1 week but I am open to longer. In my home, I offer an individualized environment without any other pets, have no personal pets. I am only accepting 1 pet at a time. Your companion will receive individual care and attention. If the dogs are siblings, I can accommodate up to 2. There are plenty of green spaces nearby for walks and playtime. I ensure that feeding, exercise and play sessions are done to your specifications. For overnight stays in my home, please provide enough food/treats and medication if applicable. If caring for pets in their own home, I will maintain their routine & environment to minimize stress. Whether, in my home or yours, I prioritize creating a safe and loving space where pets can thrive while their owners are away. I ask that you please provide me an orientation to your dog, that includes information on their feeding, potty, and medication schedule.
“Nathalie took care of our senior pug on short notice. I was apprehensive but Jake seemed to get along instantly with Nathalie, who made the effort to greet HIM, not just me. He also seemed to get along with a few other dogs who were with her, even tried to play. Nathalie also sent photos and comments every day. Overall I am very happy with my experience with Nathalie.”
“Yogi loved staying with Asya! She constantly sent photos and videos of my pup playing, on walks, and hanging out with her kids. They live in a very safe and quiet neighborhood that is great for walks. I will be calling Asya again in the future for more bookings!”
“James took such great care of my dog Fletcher for a 3 night stay! I got daily updates with pics and James had Fletcher happily waiting for an easy quick pick up! My dog LOVED playing with James' dogs. HIGHLY recommend James!”
“Leslie is truly a dog person with a warm, calm spirit, a perfect match for my sensitive, people-loving Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Max! Usually Max will go on hunger strikes when I leave him. Not with Leslie. She kept him feeling loved and busy. Her communication was outstanding, far exceeding my expectations. Leslie is the best!!”
“We were really pleased with how Ginny did with Faith (and Tanner, too- they are a great duo) We are already scheduling Ginny to stay with them the next time we are out of town. Great experience for us and for Ginny.”
“Marycarmen took very good care of my 3 month old puppy who was still recovering from an ear infection. She administered his ear drops, hand fed him because of his cone, and sent pictures to update me. Highly recommend!”
“Ashley is great! We had to go out of town for a week and Ashley watched our Miley girl, she loved her like her own and I couldn’t ask for a better caretaker for Miley. I would definitely recommend Ashley and will be using her again.”
“Emma was so sweet to our Emma corgi! We got updates throughout the day and anytime we asked for an update when we had moment while on vacation and missing our little fur baby. We were notified of another dog that planned to stay around the same time and given that heads up on if we were comfortable with it. Emma B even made sure to give our dog and the other a nice intro in the park before they went to stayed together for a few days. We always felt our Emma was in good hands and were told how much everyone loved her around the area and she got along so well with other dogs and had lots of time in the dog park that was apart of the apartment. We would book with Emma B for sure the next time we need a dog sitter! She is great and is so communicative and loving to our dog and any dog she cares for! :)”
“Nero loved his stay with Barbara and Archie. Barbara sent updates and photos each day. Nero ate well and slept comfortably. I highly recommend Barbara and will book again.”
