“Dawn is a good communicator, keeping us in touch with our Rocky’s well being and sending pictures to let us know he was enjoying His vacation too. We were very happy with Dawn’s care of our dog. Thank you.”


“Hands down, best sitter!! I was skeptical using this service to book reservations for our furbaby; however, as soon as I arrived at Susan’s house, I knew our baby would be in good hands. I received several pictures and messages a day, which made our trip more enjoyable knowing he was getting such good care. He made new friends with Susan’s two furbabies and he was spoiled the whole time! We will be using Susan again anytime we can’t take our pup with us.”


“We can’t thank Kai enough for being an absolute lifesaver during our recent trip to Ocean City. We had brought our dog Rex along, thinking the hotel allowed pets—but to our surprise, they didn’t. We were in a real bind, and Kai came through for us in the best possible way. She welcomed Rex into her home on short notice and treated him like one of her own. From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease. Kai kept us updated throughout the stay with regular messages and the sweetest pictures—it made such a difference knowing he was in loving hands. Rex was so happy and well cared for. When we picked him up, he looked like he’d had a vacation of his own! If you’re looking for someone who is kind, reliable, and genuinely loves dogs, I cannot recommend Kai enough. She was truly a blessing, and we are beyond grateful for her help.”

About: I love dogs. I am currently a Daunt (Dog Aunt) to many dogs big and small! I love walking, being outside and playing with dogs! I am currently available to lavish all of my time on your pet pooch, as after a couple of years working as an RN during the pandemic I am taking a break. I treat all dogs with love and care and at the preferences of the owner. I respect dietary and exercise routines. In my home or yours, I can walk them as often as needed, prepare meals, and keep them entertained! I do not expect tips and all care of your furbabies is included in the stated rates.

Jessi B.
“Jessi always had love for animals ever since we were little kids. Every time he spotted a stray cat or dog he would stop everything he was doing to do everything in his power to help them, for some reason as if he knew he would come across a stray he always kept food and water in a backpack in case he would come across a dog or cat. He always preferred to be around animals instead of friends or family members, they are truly his life.”
