Top rated Shaw doggy day care sitters

“Joanna and Gilbert took very good care of Snowy. They were very mindful of his feeding and walking schedule. Joanna was also very prompt with communication which I really appreciate.”


“Emily is such a great sitter she is accomidating and understadning. Winston loves going there and once he realizes where he is doing he tries pulling me to her building. Safe to say he likes his day care time with Emily”


“Asma is our senior anxious dog’s new bff! He’s always very happy and healthy when we pick him up, and Asma is a true professional - communicative, prompt, and friendly!”


“Sky was AMAZING! She sent a ton of photos and made me feel 100 percent comfortable with leaving Olive with her. I could tell immediately she was an amazing dog mom to her own fur babies and knew her stuff when it came to dogs. Olive can be difficult to walk with and Sky even got her to walk for her. Already rebooked. If you are looking for a dog sitter - Sky is great. She also was very understanding when I was running late and her communication is stellar.”


About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, and it ignited my passion to become a veterinarian—something I’m currently diving into with excitement! I adore animals like they’re my new best friends, and working with all sorts of creatures has filled my heart since I was a little girl. Now, getting the opportunity to do what I love feels like a dream come true! I’ve had incredible experiences grooming pets, administering medicine, and ensuring their daily needs are met—each moment is an adventure! I even got certified as a canine attendant, which was an amazing milestone for me! Plus, it’s not just me; my whole family joins in on the fun with pet sitting! If you ever worry about your furry baby when they’re in my care, put those fears aside! We are all passionate about providing love, respect, and the very best care for every furbaby we encounter. We’re dedicated to making tails wag and hearts happy! 😊 I’m currently a college student so having a routine for myself and my fur baby is a must in my books! I love to experience meeting new personalities with animals as I do people. Although I am young (I like to hang out with my friends of course) I still try to insert my pet into my fun through a safe manner. With me, there’s always room for a fur baby to tag along and enjoy themselves as much as they can. My family consists of a lot of kids and puppies so whenever your pet is here they are always on the go. I try to keep your fur baby as active as possible especially if they’re a high energy baby. Just know your baby is gonna be living a dream life in my care!

“Daniel was so accommodating with my puppy, Harper. She gets nervous about meeting new people, but Daniel was very understanding and she settled right in when she met his dog. Would definitely recommend Daniel for doggy daycare!”


“I’m so grateful to Allison! She is very responsive, flexible, very patient and sweet with my dog who is very anxious and shy. I feel very relieved knowing he is in good hands. Thank you so much for watching my sweet angel!”


“Katherine is wonderful! She was very flexible when we needed a last minute sitter for the day. Sends lots of great photos to keep you updated during the day. Definitely recommend!”


“Sarah and Brian were awesome w my slightly shy pup, AWoo, on short notice for a day trip I took. They arranged a quick meet and greet so I knew she would be comfortable and sent several photos over the course of the day while I was away. AWoo seemed very happy with them and their fun-loving pup Fitz. Would definitely have them take care of my girl again!”


“Silvia is everything I was looking for in a pet sitter: kind, communicative, and responsive to my needs! Plus, she has lots of fantastic experience with dogs, so I knew my pup was in good hands!”


About: Hi! I‘m Mai, a true dog lover without a dog (for low!) I don’t have the capacity to care for one full-time, but still want dogs in my life. That’s why I’m her: to give your pup the love, attention and belly rubs they deserve. I‘m very reliable (maybe it’s my German passport 😀) and I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own. I have didn’t the past 2 years caring for my friends dogs - including wakings and overnights. I have taken care of my friends dogs (3 dogs) while traveling and really enjoy being with them. For larger dogs (40lbs and plus), I can only accommodate larger dogs if they are good at walking on the leash and don’t start pulling heavily. I’m very petite (5‘1). Despite regular workouts I don’t think I could go up against these dogs. lol I work from home and currently taking a break from traveling, so I’m also available during the weekend. Mondays and Fridays are very flexible, so that I can go on walks with your pups. I live in an apartment, so I can only take care of smaller dogs. So far they have all enjoyed it. Most of them like to look out of my floor to ceiling windows. :)

“Linde was fantastic. Our normally anxious pup was calm and happy when we picked him up. He seemed to have had a great time hanging out with his new friend. We appreciated the photos Linde took too!”


“Maia was a great dog sitter!!! She was very communicative, which is super helpful for an anxious dog mom like me. I felt very comfortable with Jude in her care and would definitely book again!”


“Meaghan was amazing! Very easy to work with and Beans loved her! She accepted Beans into her home and treated him like a King! I have already scheduled another visit with her!”
