“Catlin is incredible, she put Morgan at ease and pampered him. I know that he enjoyed his stay with her from the pictures she sent. I would give her 10 stars if I could, for the services that she did. I'm recommending her to everyone I know. Thank you Catlin”


4. Julie E.

“I had to leave my very attached golden doodle overnight for the first time over the weekend when my sister was getting married. Julie offered to do a meet and greet a week ahead of time and immediately put my mind at ease! She is very welcoming ..even comfortable with my dog’s weird quirks (like trying to eat socks eek). It was great that she had a few dogs at once so they could play all day together as well. My dog had a great time and I didn’t have to worry at all while I was with my sister during such an important weekend. I highly recommend Julie. Especially if your dog needs friends to play with and a watchful person to make sure they don’t get into any trouble. :) Thank you so much Julie!”


5. Caitlin S.


“Caitlin was wonderful. My dog has some quirky issues, having been abused in his pre-adoption life. She went out of her way to make both of us feel comfortable. She has set up a nice little play area behind her house. She is clearly dedicated to the pets she cares for.”


6. Karissa A.

“Karissa did a wonderful job watching my baby. She sent plenty of photos and it made me feel happy and secure that my boy was behaving and doing well. I would definitely seek out her services again.”


7. Karen S.

“Can’t say enough good things about Karen! We just moved here and were so nervous to find a good sitter.. Right off the bat Karen was so gentle and kind with Goldie, sent tons of picture updates, was quick to respond, and I never once felt worried or anxious! Also her dog Juni is the sweetest dog on the planet :) even with their size difference Goldie and Juni became sweet friends!”


8. Caroline C.
“Caroline has been my trusted go to pet sitter/companion for 6 years for my dog Harvey, a lab/pointer mix. Harvey is a rescue with a complicated temperament and extremely anxious. Caroline has been amazing with her patience, consistency, care and love. Harvey is very comfortable with Caroline and has grown to love her, which is no easy feat for him! She cares for him so well while we are gone; whether it be for a day, weekend or whole week! I am at ease knowing that Harvey is in good hands and that Caroline is also capable of handling him and his anxiety or fear reactions. We’re lucky to have a trusted person like Caroline!!”

“Rory was exceptional with Kirby, our 10 pound chihuahua. She cuddled up with him every night and made sure he was always comfortable and loved!”


12. Alyne R.

“Alyne was fantastic. We live on the island so accommodating our travel can be tricky but she was great with our schedule. She met us at the ferry to pick up our dog. While we were gone she texted us pictures of our dog playing in the yard with other dogs. We knew our dog was having a ball. Then our return travel got all messed up and she was super flexible with keeping our dog for an extra night. Would definitely recommend Alyne!”

16. Hailey S.
About: Hi, I’m Hailey! I am from the Cape, and have been a dog lover since I was a child. Growing up we always had Rottweilers. I’ve been dog/cat watching and sitting for family and friends for many years now, and thought that this would be a fun way to help out others in need of the same services. My family currently has an Alaskan Husky that we rescued from California, and a cat. I cant wait to meet your best friend! Since rescuing my dog, I have come to loving our walks and would love to add more into my daily routine. What’s better than getting exercise with a man/woman’s best friend?! I am patient, compassionate, loving, while also implementing safety and corrections when needed. I will always make safety a priority and having fun will come with the territory.


17. Melissa & Kellie C.

“Lauren and Kelly are ahhh-mazing! They are so kind, accommodating and treat your pet like a part of their own family. They sent me photos throughout my time away. My dog came home so happy and I swear he was smiling when I picked him up! So trustworthy and loving to your furry family member. Can not thank them enough or say enough to express the feeling that you feel, knowing that your pet is safe and loved while you are away!!! 💗💕💗”
