“Jerry was amazing and took excellent care of Raya. He even celebrated her first birthday with a pup cup and doggy cookies! I very much appreciated the updates and pictures of how she was doing. Highly recommend Jerry!”


“Amy was great! First time for our pup to stay with a sitter and we would absolutely recommend Amy! She has lots of experience with pups and we’re happy we found her. Communication was always prompt and we loved getting pictures and updates too. Peace of mind for any over night stays in Wilmington :)”


“Emily didn’t just care for our dog Daisy, she loved her as if she were her own. I felt 100% comfortable leaving Daisy in Emily‘s capable hands, and was so grateful that she was willing to meet us ahead of time, cover all questions, and communicate regularly with us throughout our trip. Any dog would be lucky to stay with her.”


“Helena and her husband were wonderful to work with - kind and extremely flexible with drop off and pick up times. They live in a very nice community with lots of places for shady walks. Buddy had his own loveseat by the front door which he could lay on and look outside or at Helena and her husband in the kitchen or sitting room of their open plan home. I received regular updates and photos of Buddy in what really was a home away from home. From the initial meeting when I went to drop Buddy off, I knew he was in great hands. I would definitely have Buddy stay with Helena again and recommend her to anyone looking for an attentive loving couple to take care of you ‘fur baby’!!”


“Haley and her sweet daughter entertained my puppy really well during a short stay. He was on the last two days of his neutering care and she still accepted the job. He was fine at pickup as well. I appreciated the frequent communication and photos. And Haley took the time to find an item at the grocery store that he might like since he was being a picky eater and reviewed it with me. I had peace of mind during my work retreat in knowing that my puppy was in great hands.”


“Our dogs were very comfortable at Robert’s and he treated them as if they were his own . He sent a picture daily and I felt at ease knowing they were well cared for . I will def use him again when I need a dog sitter . I highly recommend him for your nxt vacation to care for your dogs”


“What a fantastic find! Johnathan was amazing and my dogs seemed very well taken care of. We will definitely be using Johnathan again! Thank you so much for doing such a great job.”



“Jennifer & Martyn provided a wonderful introduction to dog care for me! Kingsley thoroughly enjoyed his stay as Jennifer & Martyn are warm and caring with the perfect space for dogs! All my questions were answered and they made it easy to head off on a carefree overnight. Will use again and highly recommend!”


About: I have been around dogs all my life, and love them so much! My partner and I have 2 dogs (we previously had 3) and fostered several times before that. I love seeing dogs live their best life, playing, running, swimming, napping, whatever makes them happy! I have experience with a variety of adult dogs and puppies of various sizes and am situationally aware and patient of dogs with behavioral issues. I hope I can compliment your dogs' routine and add love, attention and fun to their day. I work Monday - Friday from roughly 8am - 5pm. I have flexibility in my work day meaning I can often work from home or go in office late/leave early. I work in land management and often spend time in the field. If your dog has good recall and is good around people, they can come to work with me and run around in the woods for a fun adventure! I want to give any pet the best care and attention they deserve, or need at the minimum. Any treats or food I give pets I try to give with good quality. Keeping pets healthy is important to me! I also hope that although they will get plenty of exercise with me, that they get their rest and are comfortable when the day is done.

“I could not have asked for a better dog sitter than Maggie. I thought I would be nervous leaving my dog in the care of a stranger but when meeting Maggie I could tell my dog Sadie would be well cared for while I was on vacation. With a nice, shaded backyard and a friendly relaxed vibe it is the perfect vacation for a dog. She got lots of walks and attention too. I highly recommend Maggie if you are looking to board your dog.”


“Sarah and her husband were the perfect fit for watching our dog Harper. We booked them last minute for a quick trip and they made Harper feel right at home! Harper gets nervous around dogs sometimes but after meeting Sara’s wonderful dog they got along just fine! I appreciated Sara’s great communication and the constant updates! Will definitely be booking with her again, would highly recommend!”


“My pup stayed for the first time with Julia. Usually, he comes home crazy and smelly after being away from home - but not with Julia. He was well taken care of. Julia also sent me pictures to show me that he was doing well and having fun. I will definitely keep leaving my dog with Julia every time I go out of town!”


“This was my first time with Allie. She did wonderful with my dog. I will definitely bring her back again. She tells you everything that’s going on day and day out and when you pick her up. Also, she sends you pictures of dog while your on vacation or wherever you’re at Allie was awesome with my dog”


“Incredibly thoughtful and accommodating! She took great care of my elderly, diabetic dog. Jenny was wonderful with photo updates and flexible despite travel delays. Thankful for you Jenny!”


“Monika and Jeff were great hosts to our Lab Riley. They have a very large, fully fenced backyard which gave Riley lots of running room. Riley came home exhausted - which is always a good sign. Thanx!”


“We left our German Shepherd with Mandy for a week. She is an anxious and a reactive dog who is unsure of strangers. Mandy managed her so well that when we picked her up, we haven’t seen any signs of stress. Mandy having a fenced back yard was also an excellent benefit that our dog got to go out as much as she wanted. She enjoyed the week away with Mandy. You can leave your pets under Mandy ‘s care without hesitation.”


“Traveling from out of state for our granddaughter’s wedding, we did not know anyone to watch our 1 year old Maltipoo. Matt and Louise were wonderful to work with, very accommodating with coordinating times for wedding festivities and took great care of our family pet. Thank you for easing our anxiety leaving our little guy at your home.”
