“Matt took great care of our dog. Our pup never eats when he’s not with us and he ate full meals with him and had a great time. Thank you for your care Matt, you put our high energy pup at ease”
“Jeanne is the perfect sitter for our dogs. We took them to her for a 3 day weekend and she was so responsive and sent pics throughout the weekend. The dogs seemed to have had a great time and have been sleeping all day since we picked them up. I would absolutely recommend booking her to sit your dogs, you won’t regret it!”
“Maverick had a blast and was well taken care of!! We loved getting picture updates!! Maverick has separation anxiety and tends to not eat while away from home but he did eat and had a great time!! He came home a tired pup which for him is good.”
“Our pup stayed with Ed for the second time and we had a wonderful experience again. Opie came back happy and tired. She had a nail issue while we were gone, but thankfully Ed took care of it and everything is fine. We didn't have to worry at all.”
“Sabrina is a true dog lover, she took the time to learn and understand our pup’s traits and personalities and adjusted their care accordingly. Saylor is 10 and Lake is 2. They go for walks, play time in the yard and have dog treat hunts to just name a few activities. We receive texts with pictures and videos throughout the day. Saylor and Lake love staying with Sabrina and we highly recommend her. Kathy & Joe”
“I am SO HAPPY we found Larissa! She is sweet, easy to talk with, and most importantly, amazing with Carini! She loved staying with her for a week. Larissa sent me updates and pictures every day and I could tell how great of a time my girl was having. Safe to say, we'll be doing some daycare days in the future so she can see them again ??”
“Kumar took such good care of my dog! He was gentle, kind, fed him with very specific instructions and made my dog feel at home in his apartment. He sent photos and updates daily. I would highly recommend him as a dog sitter!”
“Claire did great with Sansa. She was accommodating for us, took great care of our dog, and sent us updates and pictures as well! Sansa came home and acted just like normal, so I knew she was perfectly comfortable and that says a lot for me. Would use Claire again for sure!”
About: I have dog-sat for a variety of dogs and demeanors, from small untrained puppies, to older dogs on doggy-hospice. I consider my dogs part of my family and love getting to interact with and care for other dogs as well, knowing how importance they are. Outside of dog sitting, I also worked at a vet clinic for a couple of years helping to care for dogs after hours by letting them out, playing with them, giving them their medication and feeding them as well. I work from home full-time with plenty of opportunities for pet care and interaction. In my work-from-home office I have a comfy couch and dog bed that pets are welcome to sit on or sit with me as they please. I have a variety of door gates if my dogs need to be separated from dogs I am sitting for any reason. I have two levels in my home with dog food and water dishes available on both levels and exits to the fenced in yard (partial cement and partial grass) on both levels. I have the ability to gate each area of my home if needed to keep my dogs separate depending on the needs of dogs I am sitting. I like to snuggle and play with dogs and can let them out frequently. Sleep: We have extra dog crates if your dog prefers to be crated at bedtime like our dogs do, but they are also welcome to sleep on any of our couches or environment Stairs: While my home has stairs in and out, my lower level does allow for entry from the driveway and to the fenced in backyard without stairs - please let me know if your pet needs hip precautions and I am happy to accommodate! Pool and River: Our fenced in backyard does have an inground pool, we always supervise until we know how dogs interact with the pool. We live on a river but it is not accessible within the fenced in portion of the yard.
About: Hi! Right now I currently dog sit for two dogs and I’ve had pets my whole life. I’ve had 4 dogs at one time with 2 cats. I love being around animals and have experience in watching dogs. I currently live in an apartment so I do not currently live with any animals. I have volunteered many times at the animals shelter by my home. I currently have a part time job so I can definitely fit watching pets into my schedule. I understand the need for care and am willing to try to fit your pet into my schedule I would provide a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for the pet. I would make sure the pet has water and food at all times. I would make sure the pet also takes all the medications if needed. Depending on the pets needs I would make sure there is time for exercise and play. For my home I would make sure the pet has a clean and safe environment. For the pet owners homes I would make sure to follow all instructions whether it’s feeding and medication instructions or behavioral techniques. I would make sure the animal is able to build trust and a good bond to make sure the pet is comfortable under my care.
About: From puppies and kittens. Senior dogs and cats and everything in between I have experience with. Uhm basically whatever their routine is just let me know and I can accommodate. Any special request just ask me and most likely will accommodate. I can give real time updates as needed just let me know. I treat someone's pet as my own. Please let me know your pets preferences. Thank you. Again pet care would fit into my routine via way of getting to know and knowing your pets routine. This will be my main focus. I take into consideration the pets needs and basically focus on that in an environment. Basically I just let them rest or do what it is they like to do daily.
“I had never used an online pet sitting service before. I was on a waiting list for two boarding kennels. Went out of town for the weekend and Cher was very accommodating. She seems like a genuine pet lover. She had two smaller dogs that my small Pomeranian got along with well. She sent update photos of Cody and responded quickly to update requests. I was totally satisfied with her services and would let her watch Cody again and will be utilizing her services again in the future. Cody’s temperament when back home was normal and not like the usual shyness after a traditional kennel. I know he got play time with other dogs and did not have fear/separation anxiety with Cher and her small dogs. Thank you Cher. I am totally satisfied with the experience.”
“Schyler was amazing with our timid Maggie. She was flexible in dropping off and picking up times. She was patient with Maggie, who because of 3 months of neglect, is afraid of most of life. I was able to see how Maggie was doing by Schyler’s updates, and when I picked Maggie up, you could see how relaxed she was to be with Schyler.”

Emily B.
“Emily is a responsible and loving animal caregiver. She had experience caring for various pets growing up. She also worked part time at a local vet clinic in high school. Emily especially loves dogs and has two of her own. Her husband and kids also love dogs and welcome and enjoy furry friends. She watched my dog Pepper for two weeks when I was recovering from surgery and was unable to walk him, prepare his food and pill pockets, or clean up after him. He's 15 and in doggie hospice since he has a 4-inch tumor on his liver. He eats 4 times a day and his food includes canned chicken which takes time to prepare. He also has arthritis and can’t bound up the stairs like when he was young. If he tried to go upstairs, she would pick him up and carry him so he wouldn’t struggle and fall. I have lots of pictures of her holding and cuddling him. He clearly loved her and felt loved by her. We used a reputable kennel for a few years when we needed to leave Pepper. Each dog had a large kennel and their own run. If they sat by the door to their run, someone could open the door from the office. The daily rate included feeding, going out and limited interaction with teenagers. To have extra cuddle time and extra play time, there was an additional fee for that extra time. It was worth paying for it, knowing he would miss the human interaction he had at home. At Emily's because he was out and about, instead of being confined, interaction with humans was frequently available. I know our Pepper was happier in a setting that was more like home instead of being in a kennel.”

“I have known Charlie for 28 years. He has had pets ever since I have known him. He likes to be around them and makes sure they have what they need. He has always made sure to put them on potty breaks when he was at my house. He makes sure that they are part of everything. For this reason I believe he would be a good petsitter.”
