“Gail was everything and more that we would expect in a sitter. our little dog joy is nervous around new people and Gail amazingly won her over in the first two minutes that we were there, she was also super helpful and accommodating with us booking last minute. Her two dogs that she has on the property are very sweet, calm and socialized. I have no doubt in my mind that we will be using her services again and anybody who is lucky enough to get a booking with her will have both the peace of mind that their dog will be safe and have a great time.”
“Joseph's doggie daycare is absolutely Lily's favorite place. His backyard is a dog playground where dogs can play safely all day. We also enjoy the daily report cards from Joseph. Highly recommend.”
About: With experience in pet rescue, fostering, adopting, and sitting I offer compassionate and customized care for your pet's needs. Lover of all breeds and sizes; partial to senior dogs, I'm familiar with managing special diets, medications, or extra comfort. Safety and snuggles are the goal for every pet! I've been impacted by tech layoffs, so currently available to care for your pet at my home or yours, M-F, from 8am onwards. Plenty of notice will be given should my availability change, but my work is remote/from home so unlikely to have a huge impact on available hours. Mi casa, or Su casa! I'm in a single family home with a fenced yard. The yard area is accessible all day. I've got one small, dog-friendly, senior frenchie that will gladly share his cots, blankets, and toys but will likely ignore your dog most of the day cuz he's too busy napping. You're welcome to bring crates, beds, blankets, or toys to make your fur baby comfortable. But we love to share ours. Water bowls are accessible all day. I'm happy to provide food, treats, and/or meds per your instructions.
“Lynn and Marty were so kind to watch my dog Rocket for the day, even though their wonderful dog, Jayce, had recently passed away. They communicated well with me in advance about the situation, and gave Rocket so much love and attention during her visit. This was Rocket's second time staying at Lynn & Marty's little slice of doggy paradise, and it won't be her last!”
“Eve gave my boy, Bear such a good day! She was communicative and so sweet with him, there’s no doubt she loves & cares for dogs. When I got him home, he instantly settled in, tired from a walks and a fun day of play. Would definitely recommend Eve and would happily book again with her in the future!”
“So thankful for Kate taking care of our pup! This was our first time doing doggy daycare with our rescue pup and we were thankful for the updates for the few hours we were gone and how thorough she was in making sure our pup was safe and comfortable.”
“James was super accommodating! We are visiting the area from out of town and needed a last minute doggy sitter. James was responsive and took great care of our Chippy. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my own cats and dogs since I was young. I LOVE animals of all ages and sizes. It’s always been easy for me to bond and develop trust with them. I would love to come play, give cuddles and become BFFs with your pet:) I’m currently on sabbatical so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals! I’m flexible Monday - Sunday and currently available for walks, in-home visits, & doggy daycare. I will make sure your pet has plenty of room to play and get comfortable. I make sure to stay on feeding and potty schedule. Plenty of time will be spent developing trust and safety with your pet.
“I'm so happy that I found Honey! She and her pup Rosie were a great match for Bucky. Honey sent photos and updates often, and was very quick to respond. She was intuative with Bucky's needs and I knew he was in great hands. She has a comfortable home and bed that Bucky didn't want to get out of. This is my first experience on this app and I have no hesitation leaving Bucky with her in the future. Thanks again honey! A++”
“Nicole and Ethan were great communicators throughout our stay and so very caring! Our pup had a great time with them and their dog, and we enjoyed our vacation knowing she was in good hands.”
“Ryan was able to take a last minute request to watch our three dogs while we went to Lotusland. He was very attentive and sent us plenty of photos. One of our dogs is a recent rescue from Gaza, and is a wonderful boy, but he does like to jump over walls and fences, and when Ryan noticed him, perhaps preparing to do that, he decided to put him in a harness, and keep him on a leash for the whole three hours, so that was really a wonderful blessing. He is clearly a huge animal lover.”
“Jessie is a dog lover and it shows in the way she treats your dog like it's her own. I am very picky about who I would leave my best dog friend with, and after meeting Jessie and seeing the way she cared for my dog, I give her my highest recommendation. She also provided lots of video updates which was nice.”
“Hilary has been fantastic. She has been watching my young pup here and there for the past several months while I have been at work, and my dog loves going to stay with her. The fact that my dog literally runs up the stairs to her place every time we go over tells me Hilary takes good care of my doggo. She is also always responsive and easy to communicate and coordinate with! I highly recommend!”
“Nancy is so sweet and so accommodating. My dog instantly felt comfortable with her. She sent me photos of him napping and playing which was so nice, and I could tell my dog was in such good hands. I will definitely be rebooking with Nancy and recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their doggy.”
“Wendy was amazing with Tobi. She’s gentle and seems to really care about the dogs she watches. Tobi loved hanging out with her all day. Would trust Wendy with any of my pets anytime!”
“Tracy is wonderful! My dog, Murphy, is always so excited when he sees that we are at her place. He clearly feels very comfortable with Tracy. I'm so happy to have found someone my dog adores so much.”
