“Louis was a fantastic dog sitter for our pitbull, Thor. He sent daily photos of all the activities they did and kept Thor active. We could easily see how happy Thor was about his new friend through his photos which provided us with peace of mind while on vacation. We highly recommend Louis if you’re looking for a sitter who truly cares for dogs. He also gifted Thor a doggy bag of treats which was a special touch! Thanks Louis!”


About: Hello I’m a local dog groomer I have had dogs since I was 4 years old , I’ve been in the field for the past 13 years however now I’m able to work from home and miss the doggie interaction so I decided to bring them here ! I would love to build a relationship with you and your pup and put your mind at ease while you’re away. I work from home now and can provide 24/7 care. We have the ability to go on nature walks together, poolside fun or just couch snuggles I have a fully fenced in back yard that they’re free to explore. My 2 dogs love it back there sunbathing or pool time the choice is theirs

“Jen was great with our dog. She sent tons of pictures and updates. My dog came back healthy and happy. We will for sure use her again for sitting. Thank you Jen for taking such good care of Winston.”


“Stephanie was amazing with our pups, she made them feel right at home! From checking in to picking up, she has kept open communication with how the pups were doing. The pups had a great time and I would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone. We will definitely book again in the future.”


About: I have a genuine love for animals, especially dogs. I’ve never been afraid of dogs no matter the dog breeds or sizes. I have always dog sit for friends and family because I love dogs as if they were my own babies. I treat them as if they’re humans because I allow the to get comfortable on furnitures and on my bed. I am available to do sit every day of the week as long as I know in advance. That way I will not have anything planned or scheduled. I have an open concept in my house where the dog will be free to walk and run. It is a clean and safe environment. The house was just built and we are the first family to live on the premises. We are currently looking to get the entire back yard fenced in. Other than that, I will keep a leach on the dog for walks and allow them to enjoy the open concept that’s in my house.

“Colleen truly put me at ease immediately with my 14 year old small dog! She sent pictures of his wonderful adventures in her fenced in lawn, going for walks, playing with his toys and even let him snuggle in bed at night where he is used to sleeping! Colleen was a true professional, inviting to tour her house and did not rush one moment, making sure I felt 100% comfortable. I will absolutely use Colleen again in the future when I’m traveling to Long Island. Thanks Colleen!”


“Gen was very accommodating by taking Winston and gave me updates the entire time. I knew the whole time Winston was safe, and was well taken care of. I will be booking w/ Gen again the next time I go away!”


About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 27. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bath their pets I am currently not working so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups!. I am available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. I have a fence and big yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

“Shannon was wonderful. She asked detailed questions before I dropped off my dog regarding diet, likes and dislikes and since I have an older dog, her health and limitations. I felt, right from the start, she was invested in the care and well being of my dog. During my pet's stay, she sent regular updates and pictures which was greatly appreciated for this anxious dog mom. My dog seemed well cared for, calm and happy when I arrived to pick her up. I was please with her services and I would highly recommend Shannon and will use her again in the future.”


“Patrick and Karyn are SO great!!! My dogs loved running around their big yard and playing with their dog. They accommodated us when my flight was delayed and were so great with our dogs! Highly highly recommend!! Your dogs will be so happy.”


About: Super caring, reliable and responsible. I’ll treat your furbaby like my own! I’ve had dogs and cats since childhood and began walking my neighbor’s dogs at age 9. Making money doing something I truly love has always been especially rewarding. I’m experienced with all sizes, breeds, ages and temperaments. Some of the breeds I’ve rescued, fostered and cared for include Pointers, Terriers, Retrievers, Chihuahuas, Doodles, Bulldogs, Mutts and designer dogs. As well as cats, bunnies birds and reptiles. I love them all equally! I take whatever approach necessary to tailor my care and attention to match your pup’s needs, whether they are high energy or easy breezy…I will be sure to provide a great experience for them. Your dog and I can go for walks or hang in your yard. Go on play dates or spend quality time…a one on one game of fetch or just snuggles. Regardless, your baby will always be safe and happy in my care. My goal is to provide a loving atmosphere where your pup is always my priority. I’m currently available to do home visits and walks at your home after 5pm and until 9pm on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday. Available 8am to 9pm Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I can make multiple home visits per day if needed. I’m happy that stay at your home to care for your pets while you’re away. Available 7 days a week. Available for boarding Thursday after 5pm, Friday, Saturday & Sunday for 24 hr boarding, also doggy day-care in my home and for walks. I can also do pick-ups and drop-offs. I live in a multi-level town house with a large fenced patio area together with my Chihuahua and my dog-loving, former, stray cat. My furry friends will receive tons of affection and nice long walks throughout their stay. Your pups are welcome to roam free while they are my guests. I also invite them to hang in my fully furnished basement, known as the Wags Lounge, set up to accommodate multiple dogs at a time. Furnished with a large sofa, fluffy dog beds, soft blankets, snuggle floor mats, tons of toys, fresh filtered water, treats, cool A/C, flatscreen TV and streaming music or stress relieving sounds for those nervous visitors. I also have crates available for those who prefer to sleep crated. I am located on a beautiful, gated property with endless grass and trees, perfect for long walks in a super dog-friendly community. My priority is to provide a safe, comfortable and relaxing environment while caring for your baby during their stay! My property is under exterior/interior surveillance to ensure their safety at all times. I’ll even send you updates including pics and details of their experience while in my care so you can rest easy that your pup is in good hands!

“I had the absolute best experience with Lindsay K. and can't recommend her enough to anyone who needs pet sitting services! She took care of my two cats for a week while I was in the process of moving, and from the very start (booking on the app) she made everything so easy and completely stress-free. She was incredibly communicative, flexible, and accommodating with scheduling - which I really appreciated while things were a little hectic on my end. She sent me at least three updates a day, complete with photos and little notes about how they were doing, what they were up to, and how they were eating and behaving. It was so reassuring and honestly a huge relief to know they were being so well looked after. One of my cats acts like she owns the place (any place) and the other is pretty shy and takes a while to warm up to new people. Lindsay easily accommodated their individual personality preferences and silly sibling dynamic so that both cats were clearly getting lots of love and attention every day. She was so patient, kind, and gentle with my scaredy cat that he warmed up quickly and was comfortable and happy in her care. It’s not easy to find someone like Lindsay who is not only reliable and professional, but also genuinely thoughtful and caring when it comes to bonding with pets. I felt completely at ease leaving my cats in her care, and was happy to bring home two very content and well-cared-for kitties. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, look no further — she’s the best! 100/10 stars and would 100% book again the next time I need a cat sitter!”


“This was my first experience with Ruby Sky and I am very pleased with the outcome. She addressed all my concerns and provided timely communications to ensure a smooth process. She also provided several pictures throughout my dog’s stay which were/are greatly appreciated. Looking forward to my dog’s next stay.”


“Donna was great, very knowledgeable and professional. Very good about giving me feedback regarding Bella. Bella is not used to being with other dogs, but Donna knew just how to help Bella adjust to the situation. Bella was there for 10 days and she did great. I would not hesitate to use Donna again.”



“Our 1 year old dog Theo had such a great time at Maria’s! Her house is beautiful and clean. She has her own dog, an Australian shepherd, who was a great playmate for Theo. She sent photos and pupdates daily. We can’t wait to use her again!”


“Emily was EXTREMELY patient, caring and understanding of our Toby, who had severe anxiety while he stayed with her. She administered medication when warranted, and made sure he was as comfortable and loved as possible in our absence. We would definitely trust her to take care of him again in the future!🐾💙”


About: I have always had pets growing up - both dogs and cats. They were more like family than pets. I care for my parent’s Labrador Retriever and cat when they go away. I also have two cats of my own. My (3) children love animals and will keep them busy playing catch or whatever your pet loves to play. I call it a win-win! If you are more comfortable with me making home visits I will make sure to care for your animal while also making sure your home is safe and secure. I can walk, feed, play, and love your pet as if it is my own. I’m a novice with senior and/or special needs pets, but will follow all instructions given to care for them. I work from home making pet care easy so I can give your pet walks, bathroom breaks, and attention. We are a loving family with routine and schedules that keep animals comfortable. I have a big, fenced in yard with a warm house and a lot of space. There is always someone here to supervise and make sure your pet is safe. I can also send photos throughout your pet's stay to give you peace of mind because your pet is your family.


“Kerri is AWSOME, kept me up to date with everything when I was away with multiple pictures which was great. Her dogs and her family were great. I can definitely say Raider has a new bestie and will be using her again from here on out!!!”

Jennifer S.
“Our dog Anya has anxiety, and is an ESCAPE ARTIST! She does not like being alone and when she is, she will either escape when she is let out for the bathroom and/or destroy stuff in the house. We asked Jennifer to if she and her family could keep Anya in their home for a couple of nights when we went on a Skiing Trip! BEST DECISION EVER! Anya was surrounded by a LOVING Family who took amazing care of her. Anya sleeps with my 12 year old son every night. When we were away Anya slept with Jennifer's 11 year old son, relaxed on her dog bed by the fire while her family watched TV and our minds were at ease knowing Anya was happy with no anxiety.”
