“Mallory and Jim are the best and this was definitely Titan’s favorite stay! They updated us throughout each day and made us feel so comfortable leaving him for a few days. They have a great set up at their house with their fenced in back yard and they also took him on walks. They are also so confident at managing multiple dogs which was impressive! Thank you for making Titan feel right at home. He was so happy and tired! A success indeed!”
“Phenomenal care! Amber is a wonderful sitter, very caring, kind, empathetic and truly loves dogs. My Dante got a lot of love and attention. Amber communicated well, plenty of updates, pictures and videos. Best care for your furry kiddo! Highly recommend Amber as your sitter.”
“Always my most trusted person to leave my Ollie with! I rarely trust people with my pup but when I leave Ollie with Paola, I have no worries! She updates frequently and Ollie always comes home happy and tired from playing!!! Thank you as always!!!”
About: My children and I absolutely love dogs, especially my 8 year old son. I work in the school system so we have the whole summer off to enjoy taking care of your pets! I live seconds from a walking trail so your pup can get plenty of exercise, love, and snuggles! I am available all summer long while school is out. July 1 through the end of August. I spend a few weeks teaching summer school- on those days I am home by 1 pm. Your pet will be safely cared for in my two bedroom apartment- with lots of snuggles, nature walks, and toys. I understand different dogs have different needs and I will cater to each pup as needed.
“Victoria was very easy to work with. We left our dog with a sitter for the first time. He did very well with Victoria, and she sent texts and photos to keep us updated on him. When we go away I will feel very confident to leave him with her again. I will give her 5 stars as far as care for my dog.”
“The dogs seemed to enjoy Michael’s house for their first visit, which was four days. He sent lots of pictures and videos making sure to keep us updated with everything going on. Our dogs have very different personalities and one is young and one quite old. They did very well and it gave us such peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for in such a good home setting. They are our family members too and this is so important to us. We would definitely recommend Michael to anyone.”
“We had the pleasure of having Kristin watch our two dogs for the first time, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience!! We were a bit nervous leaving them for the first time, but she made it so easy and reassuring. From the thoughtful updates and pictures, to the way she made our dogs feel comfortable and cared for, we could tell she genuinely loves animals. It was such a relief to know they were in good hands! We came back to happy pups! We’ll definitely be booking again in the future. We highly recommend!!”
“I immediately felt confident that Pippa would be well cared for by Melissa. Clearly she got plenty of exercise as she slept very soundly once I got her home. Thank you Melissa!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Layla. They took amazing care of my senior dog, who is losing his vision and needs extra patience and attention. From the start, Layla was kind, understanding, and clearly experienced with pets. They kept me updated with messages and photos, so I always felt at ease knowing my dog was comfortable and safe. When I came home, my dog was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for which is exactly what we had hoped for. I really appreciated how gentle and calm Layla was in helping my dog navigate their surroundings. I would absolutely recommend Layla as a pet sitter to anyone, especially those with senior or special needs pets. They truly were wonderful!”
“Lucy had a wonderful stay with Karyn! She quickly became smitten with Karyn’s dog, Milo, and clearly felt right at home. Karyn was fantastic to work with—she kept us updated with daily messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear Lucy was well cared for and happy throughout her stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Karyn again.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Vignesh from the start. He took excellent care of Olive and was very attentive to her needs. When Olive had an upset tummy, prepared boiled chicken and rice for her, which we really appreciated. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Olive was in such caring and capable hands while we were away. We would absolutely recommend him and would be happy to have Olive stay with him again in the future.”
“Sandra was very accommodating and welcoming. This was our first experience with having someone other than family care for Chase. He seemed at ease and well cared for. We will definitely rebook with Sandra and cannot thank her enough for making this process easy.”
“Dorothy was great - she and her family made Bruno feel very welcome and secure and kept us updated while we were away. He has a special diet and daily medication and she was great with giving that to him. Definitely will book again.”
“Austin was fantastic about communicating both before and during our dog’s stay. He was great with her medications and making sure she was taken care of so we didn’t have to worry about her. She was one of the family while she was there. She’ll definitely be back”
“Gabriel is a wonderful guy, it is obvious how caring he is with the dogs. The videos were wonderful seeing our furry family member while away. I will definitely use Gabriel for my next need of Doggy Care”
“I can’t say enough good things about Chelsea K! She took amazing care of my dog, Dexter, and went above and beyond in every way. Her home was spotless and provided such a clean, comfortable environment that immediately put me at ease. Chelsea’s attention to detail was incredible—she followed all of Dexter’s routines perfectly and made sure he felt right at home. What really stood out to me was her patience and genuine care. Dexter can be a little shy at first, but Chelsea took the time to help him feel comfortable and safe, which I truly appreciated. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own in a clean, welcoming space, Chelsea is the one to book!”
