“Susana took great care of Stella. She has experience with anxious dogs and managed to get her out of her shell within a day. Stella had what I'd call a Vacation instead of a boarding! She came back relaxed and was herself right away once back home!”
“We had a wonderful experience leaving our dog Happy, a Chiweenie (Dachshund–Chihuahua mix), with Ms.Li. From the very beginning, communication was great and reassuring. The sitter shared daily updates and photos, which meant so much to us. Happy always looked relaxed, comfortable, and happy, and it was clear he was receiving genuine care and attention. Thanks to this, we were able to fully enjoy our time away without any stress or worries. We are very satisfied and would highly recommend Ms.Li to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog”
“Our little guy LOVES staying with Nicole and her family. When we turn onto her street, he goes crazy with excitement in the car. Your fur babies are in good hands with Nicole!”
“Boarded our pups with Skylar for 4 nights and she was wonderful! She sent updates and pictures and went out if her way to make sure they were happy and settled. They had a great time, and we had peace of mind that they were getting lots of love and care. Highly recommend.”
“Laura & Brian were very attentive to our dogs needs, especially our newly adopted puppy. They sent us pictures and videos every day, they were having fun! We had a late flight arrival and they still allowed us to pick them up. I can’t say enough great things about them and our dogs stay!”
“Ilona took great care of my two dogs at the last minute! I usually prefer to do a meet and greet, but circumstances didn’t give me time to do that, and still I felt comfortable leaving my dogs with her. She responded quickly to any text and sent pictures. She has a great fully fenced-in backyard that I could tell they loved in the pictures!”
“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Ivy was able to take care of victor again last minute for me. She is always so attentive to victor and sends me constant updates which I love! I got pics of him playing with the kids, they always take the dogs with them if they go somewhere and he just looks so happy all the time when I leave him with her. Thank you so much again Ivy! Victor will definitely be seeing you guys again next time he needs a sitter ❤️”
“We had a great experience with Isabella as our dog sitter! She took our dog on walks and played with him, and he came home happy and well-rested. We could tell he had a wonderful time. We definitely want to book her again! Highly recommend! 🐶✨Thank you Isabella!!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care they gave our energetic mastiff! From the start, they kept us updated and informed, which gave us so much peace of mind. Tuco spent a full week with them and had an amazing time, he came home happy and well cared for. We’ll definitely be choosing them again. Highly recommend!.”
“Stacey was amazing! She sent me pictures everyday to show us how coco was doing. Coco was comfortable with her and her family, which made my family happy. I would definitely use Stacey again!”
“Rachel and Preston sent daily videos/pics and updates and took great care of Moki. He even received a Christmas plushie during his stay over the holidays. Thank you!!”
“Sarah treats your lovely furbaby as if it were her own. We left our husky with her for 3-days and she made sure to send pictures and communicate daily. It’s comforting knowing your dog is with a nice family. I will definitely use her again soon.”
“As always, Melissa and Alexis are my go to for the care of Desmond? They are fantastic! I trust them completely. They are Desmond's home away from home. Thank you so much.❤️”
“Bernadette did a wonderful job caring for my furbaby Marley. He warmed up to her very quickly and she made him feel right at home. Bernadette stayed in contact with me throughout Marley’s stay to help me feel assured that he was doing well. I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for a great compassionate sitter.”

“Highly recommend! 11/10 sitter! They kept me up to date on how my dogs were the whole time I was away with photos and videos. My dogs looked like they were part of the family. It was such a relief to know they were in such good hands while I was away!”
“They are the best! They take such amazing care of Frank. We know he’s in amazing hands. We love all the pics and updates and can see how happy Frank is. Thank you!!!”

About: Cats have owned me since birth! I have 5 right now, 4 are 6 months old. I've done it all, baths, nails, meds. Recently dove into cooking their food instead of buying. I've also owned horses and dogs. I love them all but cats are my specialty!!
About: I have fostered and housed many kitties in need and found them great homes, I’m a kitty girl and I love them so much! I have 3 kitties of my own and I’m always the number one person my family and friends will call to come baby sit their animals ever since I was 15 :)
“Amanda is awesome! She was very attentive and followed instructions precisely. She was also great at communicating every detail and asked for guidance whenever she faced an issue we hadn't addressed. I highly recommend her, and will use her again!”
“Alaina is an excellent pet sitter who will take great care of your furry family members. From the moment I met her, I was impressed by her warmth and friendliness. She did a wonderful job with my sweet kitty! While I was away for the weekend, she took fantastic care of my cat and sent me numerous photos and updates. When I returned home, my cat was relaxed and content, which truly speaks to Alaina's exceptional pet-sitting skills. I'll definitely be using Alaina in the future!”
About: While I don’t have professional experience caring for cats, I am responsible, dependable, and eager to learn. I understand the importance of following care instructions carefully and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I am willing to learn about feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, and any special needs your cat may have. My goal is to provide loving, attentive care and treat every pet as if they were my own.
“Perla was amazing taking care of my two cats. I was gone for two weeks, she kept up with communication, pictures, and how my cats were doing. Even though the initial booking was for once a day drop in visits, she was able to accommodate and do drop in visits twice daily instead, on request. Will definitely book with her again when needed.”
About: I have extensive experience as an animal caretaker. I have been caring for animals professionally for the past 16 years. I started from the scratch as a kennel attendant at a local dog rescue, fast forward to today, I’m an accomplished veterinary technician. I’m comfortable with all life stages, breeds, temperaments, medical conditions, special needs, medication administration, etc. I have extensive training in the veterinary field and can react quickly in unexpected circumstances. I’m patient and calm. I aim to earn the trust of you and your animals. There’s nothing more important to me than my own personal pets. I will treat your animals with upmost respect, care, and regard for their health and safety. I’m currently a full time Veterinary Technician. I am available during the weekdays in the early morning or evening hours. I’m completely flexible on the weekends. I’m very aware of animal behavior and safety. I am confident I can adequately manage the environment and keep your animal’s safety as top priority. I have extensive experience managing all types of breeds, energy levels, and temperaments. I love investing the time in reading body language and allowing animals to feel comfortable with me on their terms.
“Molly did a great job with my two not too social kitties. They were taking care of and one of them eventually came out to greet her. Definitely will use her help again.”
About: What sets me apart is real, hands-on experience with dogs that many sitters never encounter. I own Apollo, a pit-mix with high reactivity, and have worked through his training alongside a professional trainer as well as through my own dedicated research and practice. That process taught me how to read canine body language, manage triggers, and stay calm and consistent under pressure; skills that directly benefit any dog in my care. I also share my home with Thalia, a high-energy husky, so I know exactly what it takes to keep a high-drive dog mentally and physically stimulated. Beyond my own pets, I've built real experience pet sitting dogs and cats for family and friends, sometimes for days or weeks at a time, handling daily visits and routines solo. I'm comfortable with dogs, cats, and other pets, and I bring the same patience and attentiveness to every animal regardless of size, breed, or temperament. Pet care has always been a natural part of my life. I grew up with pets and currently have my own, so caring for animals isn't just a service I offer, it's something I genuinely love. As an online student working toward my Bachelor's degree, I have the flexibility to be present throughout the day, whether that's a midmorning walk, an afternoon drop-in, or a multi-day house sit. Because my coursework is self-paced, your pet always gets my full focus. I structure my day around the pets in my care, not the other way around. My priority is keeping your pet's world as normal as possible while you're away. I follow their established routine closely: feeding times, walk schedules, and any specific habits you share with me. Consistency is what keeps animals calm and comfortable. Every visit includes food, water, exercise, and real quality time, not just a quick check-in. You can expect photo updates after every visit so you always know how things are going. I'm comfortable with dogs, cats, and other pets, and I adapt to what each individual animal needs.
“She was absolutely wonderful. Very sweet, and tentative to our animals. We feel that she went above and beyond. Would definitely recommend her services. And we will definitely use her in the future.”
“Trinity was thoughtful, considerate of our home and dogs, and did an absolutely wonderful job communicating and meeting our needs as dog owners while also nurturing our pups. She truly went above and beyond by leaving our home looking neat and giving our dogs excellent care. I especially appreciated all the photos and videos she shared. We have officially found our dog sitter!”
“We could not be happier with the attention and care taken while we were away. This was our first time away from the cats, and their first time without us. When we returned they were happy, running around, tails in the air, and acting normal as if nothing different had happened. Maybe a little hurt they didn't seem to mind us being away, but that is all the better. We'll be back with Alyssa next years vacation, without any questions or hesitation.”
About: I've looked after a few friends cats for years, and recently I have taken in 2 kitties that were left behind when our old neighbors moved. I can stop by and check on you cats, ensure they have food and water, clean litter boxes and spend some time with them while you're gone!

I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner regarding feeding, exercise, and medication. Additionally, I provide plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles to keep their tails wagging!
“Shannon took wonderful care of our cats while we were out of town. She was kind and calm, which made them feel comfortable immediately. Especially the more nervous one! She was receptive every time we reached out and always sent us sweet pictures so we knew our fur babies were happy and healthy. We will definitely book with her next time we go out of town!”
“Kristine is very professional working with our dog. She was gentle and careing and our dog became very close to her. Kristine was always attentive and on time. She was a blessing when I had an extended business meeting she was able to return and cover for me. In the future I would recommend hiring her again.thank you.”

“Really appreciated Susana sending me pictures throughout the day. Shes also so understanding and patient with my puppy who I know is a handful right now. Her pup was also such a great playmate for my puppy! Opal came home tired both nights it was amazing.”
About: I am certified dog trainer. I have 10 years of pet sitting/dog walking experience. I specialize in care for puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, and anxious dogs. I understand canine behavior and focus on keeping walks safe, structured, and positive. I’m also comfortable administering medication when needed. I have helped during puppy labor and delivery and am able to stay calm and clear minded through high pressure situations. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and started dog walking at 10 years old. I’m calm, patient, reliable, and always send photo updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide dog walks and drop-ins throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and weekends. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure each pet receives dedicated attention, consistency, and reliable care. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I pay close attention to body language and behavior to ensure every walk and visit is safe and positive. During drop-ins, I follow all care instructions carefully, keep routines consistent, and make sure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured before leaving. I always provide photo updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.
“Sarah took great care of my pup and was so nice too! She really went above and beyond to make her comfortable. If I'm in the area again, I will definitely bring my pup back. Thank you, Sarah!”
“Chengcheng did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was at work. She went on multiple walks, took her to the park, and even sent pictures of my babe throughout the day so I always knew what they were doing together. I highly recommend Chengcheng for any service she offers, you can rest assured your baby is in good hands.”
“Laura was the sweetest!! Kept me updated throughout the day and sent photos which is so great! Definitely recommend taking your babies to her, they will be in great hands ◡̈”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including pets with different temperaments and routines.

I’m experienced with feeding schedules, potty routines, basic grooming, and giving pets the attention they need to feel comfortable. I am especially patient with shy or anxious pets and make sure they feel secure while you’re away. I focus on providing consistent care, close supervision, and regular updates so you always know your pet is in good hands. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. I am able to give regular potty breaks, attention, and supervision. Since I already care for pets at home, your pet will fit into a calm and structured routine. I am available for boarding on most days and can accommodate different schedules when needed.

About: Hello! My name is Ana! I can help with boarding, day care and dog training (basic obedience, behavioral modification, socialization, potty training, desensitization etc.) I love working with dogs and have been doing it for a long time. I live in a house with a lot of space for different activities. Whether your dog is crate trained, roams the house, has special needs or on medication I can adjust to your pup’s needs. I want to provide the best care for your animals while you’re away. You will receive plenty of picture updates and a happy pooch in the end. Please message me with any concerns or questions! Thank you! I work from home, therefore I have plenty of time dedicated to the pups staying in my care. I do dog sport competitions, so might not be available some weekends. Dogs are never left unattended! Temperaments are matched for play time and socialization. Overnight dogs stay in crates to ensure a calm and safe space for each pup.
About: I have always had animals since I was a kid and I have always loved them! I love their unconditional connection with us. I have senior dog care and medication administering experience. I am trying something new in my career path, which will hopefully include your pet. I want to work with animals more and turn it into a career. I can't wait to get my steps in with your pet! I have an open schedule at this time. I'm looking to fill my week with regular walks, visits, and boarding. I have three daughters. My oldest actually works as a pet bather with Petsmart and my two younger daughters love animals as much as I do......I've been told by my oldest that I'm not allowed at the animals shelter anymore. 🤣🤣🤣 I live in a mobile home with a fenced yard. I have four of my own fur babies that are welcoming to new visitors. Depending on weather we may go for walks at the park and visit the dog park or play in the backyard or even the house with toys. But as long as it's not too hot or raining we hit the park and dog park.
“Svitlana and Dmitriy were amazing sitters for my dog, Max! From the beginning, their communication was excellent—they took the time to understand my requirements and make sure Max would feel comfortable. They sent a couple of videos during his stay, which really helped me feel at ease. It was Max’s first time boarding, and they handled his anxiety with such patience and care. When I picked him up, he was happy and relaxed. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for kind and reliable sitters!”
About: I have been taking care of both dogs and cats for over 20 years. Animals have always been very important to me, and I understand how they are a piece of your family. Folks always ask if you are a dog or cat person, and I always have to say both! I truly believe that pets deserve to be treated with love and respect, just like other friends and family. I have experience with administering medication, caring for seniors, and babies in both cats and dogs. I am the go to person for most of my neighbors, friends, and family members to support their pets when they are traveling or need support. In fact, I have asked to do that since I was 8 years old! I have two pups of my own which I love dearly have taken care of them since they were puppies. I have learned training techniques specifically using positive reinforcement for dogs. I will ensure to positively reinforce any training techniques you have set in place. I can guarantee that your pets will be treated like my own family while I support you in their wellbeing. I am currently working from home and finished working by the early afternoon. I can support via morning, lunch, and evening/night hours. I am able to switch my schedule around as needed to help support. In my own home, we have a fenced yard and a dog proof home. We have our own trained dogs that get along well with others. If it is decided to have them stay with us in our own home, we would ensure that they all get along well before doing so. Eyes will always be on them, and they will hopefully fit right into the family! I will ensure to learn about your pet's routine, training words, and always request your emergency vet for them to have on file. I always have emergency vet hotlines in my phone, just in case. Eyes will be on them at all times when I am supporting. For walks, I will ensure to learn your training words for the dogs and will reinforce the training you have in place. I will always make sure to stay on the sidewalk or in a safe area for the dog. My attention will be on your pet and their behaviors and reactions while on a leash and walking.
“Llona was wonderful. She responded very quickly to my last minute request. My dog definitely perceives the vibe of people and as soon as he met her he happily ran into her home. She sent me photos of her boys playing with our dog...he loves children and you can see they are dog lovers too. She was in good communication while caring for our dog which of course made me feel comfortable...no worry on my part. Funny enough dropping your dog off to a stranger is like dropping your child off ...you want to know they are well cared for and that they feel safe and of course have fun. I would give it an A+ day for his first visit with Llona. And we will def use her again and recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs of all kinds for years. My family and friends rely on me for their pet’s care and my veterinary experience gives me confidence in identifying issues and brainstorming solutions.

I have a lovely home that I share with my husband, our 2 boys, and our pup, and I am open to visiting pets at client homes as well depending on what is more comfortable for the pet and their family!
“Stacey is a dog lover! Our dog Yuki has been to doggy day care at hers before and he was so excited to come back. Great communicator and has a wonderful safe home for dogs.”
“Tina was very gracious and took in Obiwan. He had a wonderful time and Tina kept us up to date on Obi's progress throughout the day with pictures and narrative. She is located in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of space in the backyard. I would recommend Tina to anyone that wants someone that really cares about your pet.”
“Carole provides a great space for your dog-o. Spacious runs and cool shaded areas. The dogs can bark at each other. Lots of space for sniffing and stretching their legs. Thank you, Carole. Your place is awesome, and so are you!”
“My dog had an awesome time! Dina sent me a picture to update me on how she was doing during the day which I appreciated. I will definitely be rebooking for daycare or boarding.”
About: I love dogs. I love animals in general but preferably dogs. I’ve worked at a dog grooming place for a year and I learned so much about dogs and the proper care they need. If I took care of someone else’s dogs I know for sure they’d be happy and safe in my house and neighborhood. I have a dog myself, I love him with all my heart and hope I can share my love towards anyone else’s dogs. My dog loves playing with other dogs so I know he’d get along with anyone else’s dog. I can even take all the dogs I’m taking care of to a dog park, a regular park, play fetch, give belly scratches, etc. And just give the love a dog needs. I am available all day and everyday. I would have time to babysit, walk, feed and do all that good stuff for your pup! ! I have a dog park near my house, and would gladly love to take anyone’s pup there and play fetch, run around with them or even introduce them to my pup.

Since I am retired, this means I can check in on your dogs boarded at my facility on a regular basis. My premises are double-fenced for the security of client dogs. Dogs have plenty of water, and I feed them according to owner specifications. Wading pools are provided in the summer, and there are adequate shelters for dogs to stay in out of the weather when they choose. Any extra exercise desired by the owner outside of the exercise dogs give themselves in the large enclosed areas are arranged for between the client and myself. I will be happy to give high energy dogs extra exercise by playing fetch with them a few times during the day. I will also spend time reassuring over-anxious dogs by just being with them.
About: I have always had animals since I was a kid and I have always loved them! I love their unconditional connection with us. I have senior dog care and medication administering experience. I am trying something new in my career path, which will hopefully include your pet. I want to work with animals more and turn it into a career. I can't wait to get my steps in with your pet! I have an open schedule at this time. I'm looking to fill my week with regular walks, visits, and boarding. I have three daughters. My oldest actually works as a pet bather with Petsmart and my two younger daughters love animals as much as I do......I've been told by my oldest that I'm not allowed at the animals shelter anymore. 🤣🤣🤣 I live in a mobile home with a fenced yard. I have four of my own fur babies that are welcoming to new visitors. Depending on weather we may go for walks at the park and visit the dog park or play in the backyard or even the house with toys. But as long as it's not too hot or raining we hit the park and dog park.

We fully incorporate them into our family, and love and care for all living things! We love pets! I work a very flexible schedule, working a max of 3 days a week. I find at least 45 minutes a day to walk my pets so understand the need for animals to get out of the house, sniff, potty, and see new environments during the day. Our pets are fully incorporated into our home and our family. They are allowed inside, get at least one walk a day, but strive for 2, their health is maintained and prioritized, and Safety for my pets, other peoples pets, and the owners is always a priority.

About: My flexible schedule allows me to provide the care and attention that all dogs crave. I have loved dogs all my life and prefer to ensure that my pups are well trained and socialized. I am willing to provide basic, positive, reward based training if you would like. No yelling and definitely no hitting! There is no doubt that positive reinforcement and consistency bring about the best results when training. If your dog has a training regiment that you would like to stick to please feel free to fill me in and I would be happy to continue that training. My work from home schedule allows me the flexibility to care for your pets, even when given short notice. My pets here get tons of daily outdoor time so they feel happy, rested and ready for bed by the evenings. Individualized care and respect is important to me. When entering your home and caring for your animals I listen to your concerns and goals and take responsibility for the safety of your fuzzy family members. Trusting someone new can be scary so I take the time to send a lot of photos and progress notes so you can be at ease that your pets are being well taken care of.

“Ilona took great care of my two dogs at the last minute! I usually prefer to do a meet and greet, but circumstances didn’t give me time to do that, and still I felt comfortable leaving my dogs with her. She responded quickly to any text and sent pictures.

“We couldn’t be happier with the care they gave our energetic mastiff! From the start, they kept us updated and informed, which gave us so much peace of mind.

“Tiffany and her family were perfect for our high energy dog! They have two energetic dogs of their own and our dog, Winston, gets lots of play time with them and lots of balls to fetch from the family! Our dog also LOVES the pool and got to swim in their pool twice over a three night stay, and Tiffany was gracious to bathe him afterwards and even give him a life jacket so he could enjoy it with their kids. We love that Winston is having his own vacation while we’re away, and will continue to use Tiffany for our upcoming stays!”
“AMAZING at her job. We had a situation where we needed our Uncles dog watched for 30 days and we found Melissa. She did an amazing job and even helped put Tiny on a diet. We felt very safe knowing Tiny was in good hands 🙌🏻 Highly recommend her !!!!!!!!”
“Shahane, is the best place my bulldog Bruno has ever stayed. The property is super clean with a great setup for dogs, and the team truly cares. We got regular photo updates, info on his eating and energy, and they treated him like family. So glad we found them—won’t go anywhere else! 🐶🐾”
“Great experience. Great place. My dog seemed happy and playful after leaving there. I am sure he had a good time. I received pictures throughout the day of him and what he was doing.”
“Laura, thank you so much for taking such good care of Bear. After meeting Laura I felt very confident that our dog was going to be taken care of and loved while we were away. During our travels Laura checked in with occasional updated text messages and pictures. We were also pleasantly surprised when we picked up our dog to see that she had groomed his as well. I would not hesitate to recommend Laura as a pet sitter and this will be Bears new home away from home. Thanks Again, Joshua Stewart”

“Our dog Luka had a wonderful time with Melissa and Sebastian. They kept us informed daily with videos and pictures of Luka with the other dogs. It was great first time exposure to multiple dogs for him. We felt comfortable leaving him for 6 days.”
“My dog, Belle is looking forward to seeing Lisa and staying in her home again. No separation anxiety like the first dog-sitting experiences. Lisa is very caring and responsible lady. I am happy that Belle finds her second home.”
“The only difficult part of writing this review is finding enough good things to say about Elena. Every interaction, from my first communication to picking up Puck after his stay, conveyed both a love of animals and professionalism. We met first in a local park for a meet and greet, where Elena and I chatted and her daughter played with Puck. I felt really comfortable with Elena’s easy manner and the questions she asked to ensure that Puck would be happy with them. I left in confidence when I dropped Puck off, and the photos she sent made it clear that Puck was happy and well cared for. Her daughter makes for a wonderful added bonus; Elena told me when I picked him up that her daughter made a fort for them, and it was clear in the pics that Puck received lots of play time with his favorite toys. When I picked up Puck after his stay, he was of course happy to see me, but not overcome with nervousness or anxiety. I could see that he felt safe and loved in Elena’s home. When I arrived home, he slipped right back into normal routines without needing decompression time. Thank you, Elena, for providing Puck with a warm and loving home-away-from-home.”
