Top rated Slocum doggy day care sitters


“Our dog, Ollie, is very aware of the phrase “you’re going to see Kimberly today!” Every time, he becomes so excited, waits for his leash to be put on, and runs to the car. Kimberly is our go-to sitter whenever we need help with Ollie. She is the BEST!”


“Kyoka and John were very communicative and flexible. I booked for the whole day but ended up dropping off my dog late and they were very accommodating. We’re very welcoming to the dog so I felt comfortable leaving her. Sent cute pup pics!”


“Our dog Peggy spent a morning with Kelly when we had a last minute appointment on a hot day. Peggy spent time in the garden with Kelly, and went on a long walk around town. Multiple photo updates came from Kelly along the way. Peggy was happy and relaxed when we picked her up, and Kelly did a great job and made the whole process very easy.”


“Miki took great care of our dog, Murphy. She took him on walks, to the dog park, fed him dinner, and sent us pictures with updates of him throughout the day. Murphy really enjoyed playing (an relaxing) with her dog all day too!! We would highly recommend Miki to look after your dog.”


“Lily was so great with Leo! She and her family are so warm and welcoming I felt so at ease leaving him with her. She took great care during our meet and greet to walk me through how careful they are with rules about ensuring the dogs safety in the yard and in the home, I was pleasantly surprised how thorough she was to to show me how much she cares for all dogs like they are her own. She was also so great to work with when my schedule changed and then changed again, I highly recommend and would book with her a million more times. Thank you Lily!”



“Sharon was very responsive. It was easy to communicate with her via phone, email, & text. She kept me well updated on how my pup was doing. She had a box of dog toys & my puppy found them & started playing right away. Her yard is not fenced however, she had a tether line that allowed my pup to explore most of the yard. Sharon also entertained my pup with our own favorite toys from home such as bubble & puzzles. This was my 1st time to try this service & to leave my 5 month old puppy & I was nervous at first but, Sharon's calming patient personality put me & my pup at ease. My puppy was happy to see me but didn't seem to have missed me much. I would use her for puppy sitting again if I ever had the need. Thank you Sharon for such a nice experience.”


About: I adore animals of all shapes and sizes and make sure their needs are met above all else! I have thorough experience with seniors, especially when it comes to meds, taking extra leisurely walks, and giving baths. I also was a bunny mom to a Lion Head for 8 years, and grew up around chickens and ducks. I have pet sit my friends, family and neighbors dogs countless times over the years, and understand the need to have some peace of mind when you're away from your pet! I work from home, so I am available 7 days a week for client flexibility. I am able to ensure your pet's needs are met, whether that’s providing exercise, walks, or keeping them company throughout the day. Depending on their age and size, I would make sure that the space is puppy or senior proofed (extra rugs/padding on the floor) to ensure that they are safe and comfortable. I would be able to take them for walks and feed them according to their schedule. I have a dedicated space in my living room for their bed and toys and food to be available to them at all times.

“Yunshu was absolutely amazing and one of the best dog sitters I have ever had. I received photos and videos all day. My puppy is 3 months old and she was incredibly patient with him. So thankful we found her!!! Finn did not want to leave and instantly fell asleep from all the fun at her house.”


About: Please note: our beloved golden retriever, Charlie, has been diagnosed with a heart tumor and pulmonary hypertension. We are on a hiatus from dog sitting for this period of time while we care for him and give him all the love we can for the time we have left with him. We will update our calendar as we’re able, and look forward to a return to sitting when it is appropriate. Thank you for understanding. We are a dog loving family with experience from puppyhood to senior care. We’ve raised dogs from breeders and we’ve fostered/rescued. One of our beloved pups had a severe genetic heart disease, so we’ve dealt with medical conditions and the accompanying drugs and modified care they require. Through all of our canine experiences, we’ve learned that dogs thrive with consistency, positive reinforcement, and lots of love and affection. Our two retrievers are a huge part of our family, and we look forward to your pup falling in with our routines like he/she is one of our own. I work from home Monday-Friday. Your dog(s) would spend their weekdays joining our two dogs either curled up at my feet or playing in our fenced-in backyard. On weekends and evenings they’ll enjoy the extra company of our dog-loving teenagers, who will spoil them rotten with walks, playtime, and lots of attention! We have a big, fenced in yard so the dogs will get plenty of outdoor time. For the most part, your dog(s) will have free rein to be with our family and our dogs doing whatever we’re doing — but we do have several crates and portable fences that we can use as needed to provide separation and quiet time. We want your dog to be comfortable and happy in our home, so we’ll work closely with you before your visit to make sure we understand his/her habits and routines!

“Our dogs had a blast spending the day at Dana's. They came home exhausted which is exactly what we hope for. They think her awesome yard is the best place in town to make friends and hang out!”


About: I love spending time outdoors with my pets— I have a trained hunting lab and a Siberian calico cat. Over the years I’ve boarded friends and families dogs at my house. We have 7 acres of land + 100 acres of land trust hiking trails abutting us that we have spent a lot of time walking with dogs. I am currently working from home as a freelance designer so I’m very flexible on accommodating your pup! I am available most weekdays and weekends In my home, I’ll provide a loving, safe environment for dogs, prioritizing their well-being with consistent care and attention. Trust is built through positive reinforcement, ensuring each dog feels secure and valued. I have ample land available for daily walks and exercise, giving them the freedom to explore and stay active. I’ll create a routine that balances playtime, training, and rest, fostering a sense of belonging and safety.

About: My love for dogs dates back 17 years ago when I got my little yorkie, Heidi. We grew up together and I quickly learned the profound impact that a dog’s unconditional love has on us. They are so special and deserve the utmost love, care and attention. Though my dog is no longer here, I’ve never stopped being a devoted dog lover. My friends and family regularly entrust me to watch their dogs. You can count on me to watch, walk, feed, play, and cuddle with your dog. I am also skilled at administering medicine and caring for senior dogs. I pride myself on being extremely attentive, responsible and affectionate to all the dogs in my care. I have to say, I’ve never met a dog that didn’t like me, and I think that speaks volumes. I work from home so I have the flexibility to provide pet care all hours of the day. I am able to follow feeding schedules and take dogs out for walks every hour if needed. They will receive ample play time and my undivided attention. When I had my dog, she was always by my side. We sat on the couch together, slept together, and went for many walks and car rides together. Your dog will be treated just the same!

“Connie was very attentive to Spring's need and took care of her nicely! Spring and Appollo played all day and Spring is now exhausted! Looking forward to using Connie for another doggie day care in future!!”


About: I have cared for dogs nearly my whole life. I worked as a kennel attendant and in a veterinary hospital where I assisted with preparing medications, assisting in the exam room, and administering medications. I am working from home so I am around all day to care for your dog. I can be flexible throughout the day (or night when boarding) so I can prioritize your dog’s needs. I have a fenced in yard, and a very friendly and playful dog who can keep your dog company. I can also provide crated time if that is necessary. Pets are considered family members in my home and are allowed on couches and beds to help them feel right at home!

“Bailey and her husband James took great care of our high energy aussie. He played with their dog Dax and came home nice and tired out. They also have a nice fenced in backyard with plenty of room to run around. Seamus did not want to leave.”


About: I've taken dogs of different temperaments and sizes since I was a young girl. Friends and family have consistently relied on me to house sit, walk, feed, and play with their dogs. My schedule is quite flexible right now, though my optimal times for pet care is between 10am and 4pm, though I can accommodate to the pet owner's schedule in special cases. I make sure to have a list of all medications, allergies, and food requirements printed out and placed in a visible area to keep myself accountable and to make sure that your pets are well-cared for and get to continue in their preferred routines.

Briana G.
“Bri is the most loving and responsible pet caregiver you could ask for. She has a lifelong passion for animals, having cared for dogs, bunnies, chickens, and more throughout her whole life. I’ve seen firsthand how deeply she's loved her own pets, including her miniature schnauzer, Lily, to whom she provided exceptional care from puppyhood through her senior years. She’s the kind of person who befriends every neighborhood pet, always remembering every pet & owners name and stopping to say hello or to offer a helping hand. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pet like family, Bri is the perfect choice!”

Justine C.
“To Whom This May Concern, I am very pleased to write a testimonial recommending Justine as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. When my wife and I are away for a weekend or on a two-week vacation, we ask Justine to house and dog sit for us. Our dog, Tizzy, has fallen in love with Justine. We're not sure sometimes if our dog wants us to even return, she is having such a great time. In addition to playing with Tizzy, Justine takes her for long walks and runs, and connects Tizzy up with other dogs whom she cares for. Tizzy loves playing with dogs she has met through Justine. You will be lucky to have Justine working with Rover.”


Sierra M.
“Sierra is amazing with dogs, she instantly clicked with my dog and he wouldn't leave her side. He fell in love with her and would have played with her hours if he had the chance when they first met. She is a huge dog lover and gives them her all. She is very attentive and patient with dogs. I trust her completely.”
