“Brittany is amazing. She literally will treat your pet like her own and spoils them like they should be ❤️ I know my husky loves staying with her and she is my go to person! He even got a toy for Christmas. He gets so much exercise and love. Thank you Brittany!”
“Jessica was great! Her set up is awesome for dogs, with a huge play area outside for all the dogs to enjoy. She’s very informative and send pictures with updates. All the dogs looked like they had a great time playing in the water and hanging out. Oliver is so happy.”
“Dawn was great! She got back to me quickly when we were planning a last minute trip. Her place was very nice: really big yard, friendly dogs and people. My older dog was very comfortable there and I left him with no worries. She sent pictures during his stay. All in all, a great experience for me and my dog.”
“Dani was so accommodating with a last minute request. She is very knowledgeable about dogs. She has a caring personality as was a perfect match for my dog. Will be using her service again.”
“Carolina was amazing with Mucci!! She communicated well, sent updates and pictures, and made me feel comfortable the whole time. He looked relaxed and happy with her and her family and I appreciated how attentive she was to his needs. Thank you again for taking such good care of him. I would definitely book with you again.”
“This was my dog Hank's 2nd stay with Sydney. She took good care of him, including tending to his paws when they were irritated by the salt on the walkways, and her communication was excellent. I would highly recommend this sitter.”
“Wil was really great with my dog, even though he is usually reactive he behaved wonderfully with him and I could tell he had a really good time there! I will definitely be booking again! There was some slight confusion though since I wasn’t told it wouldn’t be Francis herself watching my dog but rather her parents, which was fine as they were great with him but it was a surprise.”
About: Hi! My name is Laura and I’m an experienced dog mom of nearly two decades. I know how to keep dogs feeling safe, clean, fed, and cared for when their owners need some help. I can offer special care and also give medications if needed. Note: I can only accommodate small dog breeds. My dog named “Tallulah” is a 9Ib female (spayed) Maltese. She is very dog friendly, though, we can discuss whether you’d like your dog to spend time with Tallulah or be in a separate area of my home. I can accommodate any specific requests you may have! 💞 🐾 I currently work remotely from home so dog boarding is available Monday-Sunday! I am present for the entirety of your dogs stay. My goal is to provide the care your dog is accustomed to at home so the experience is not only safe but enjoyable 🏠 🐾 ❤️ All dogs in my care will be tending to just like they’re at a special dog hotel and on a schedule of your choosing. My home is very quiet, private, and safe. I can accommodate any specific requests you may have! 💞 🐾
“Elizabeth was amazing! Her and her family made our dog feel so warm and welcome despite being a nervous Nelly around new people. She sent us regular updates and photos, so we always had peace of mind!”
“Shelby was great for our young puppy. We were worried because she’s super young and not even 4 months yet and we just got her a few weeks ago. But Shelby took care of her perfectly, followed her schedule and she had a great time. She kept us up to date with videos and photos, and our dog even got to get some socialization by becoming good buddies with her dogs. Definitely recommend her and will use her in the future if we need to!”
“Saskia took excellent care of our dog while we were out of town for a week. We received daily pictures and updates. Saskia was great at reaching out and addressing any concerns promptly. We were thrilled with her care of our energetic pup and will not hesitate to book again. Thanks!”
“Torie was great with our two morkies, one of which has PLE and has some intense dietary restrictions. She was very communicative and quick to respond during the stay! Thank you Torie!”
“Moby, a clinger, was in a total comfort zone amongst this loving family. Care was complete + a boot camp of healthy activity. Other 🐾 campers alongside was great for his social abilities. Now, our go-to when we have to be away!”
“Sent me pictures of my puppy and kept me updated! Loved how she took my puppy for walks and let her run in the fenced in backyard. Will definitely use her again! She was friendly and communicated!”
“Stevie was very happy during her stay. We loved that she had other dogs to play with and a big yard. Received updates and pictures often that gave us piece of mind. Will definitely be booking again. Thanks again Dana!”
“This was Bodhi’s second stay with Katie and her family. They took wonderful care of him and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your pet with loving care and attention.”

“I highly recommend Britney. She was wonderful taking care of our cat, had excellent communication, and shared many pictures of him during her visits. We would love to have her take care of our cat in the future!”
“Natalie was an awesome pet sitter for our two cats! She made such a great connection with them and made sure they were well fed and played with. She takes the best photos of your fur babies and is always in contact so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands! We will definitely be using her again when we go away!”
“Sierra was fantastic! She came over to meet my boys (and me) and it was a great interaction. I left instructions and was pleased to see that she followed them closely. I was glad to see that she stayed the whole time and played with them since they are energetic kittens. We have pet cams, so I was able to see some of each visit. She was so affectionate with my boys and took great photos. 1000% would recommend her to take care of your fur kids!”
About: Cats have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I currently have three of my own — all with very different personalities, because of course they do. I’m comfortable caring for everything from confident, social cats who want to supervise my every move to shy or nervous cats who would rather I admire them from across the room. I understand that cats often need a little more patience and respect for their boundaries, and I’m happy to let them set the pace. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box care, playtime, enrichment, medication administration, and multi-cat households. My professional experience working with animals has also made me very attentive to body language and changes in behavior, so your cat’s comfort and safety will always come first. Whether your cat wants constant attention or simply needs a reliable human to keep the food bowl full while pretending they don’t care that you’re gone, I’m happy to care for them exactly where they are.
“This was our first time working with Olivia and she was absolutely amazing! Our kitties were fed, played with, cared for, cuddled, and loved daily. Our Siberian cat is generally skittish with strangers and takes a while to warm up. To our surprise, Ruby was immediately obsessed with Olivia! We were able to relax during our trip knowing our cats were well taken care of. We cannot say enough great things about our experience and could not recommend Olivia more. She is respectful, honest, kind, timely, and a true animal lover. She will be our pet sitter for all future travel plans :)”
“Tiffany was wonderful! Prompt, responsive and sent us plenty of updates and photos while we were away. We didn’t worry about the cats for a second, I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have experience with both playful puppies and senior dogs. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always keep you updated! I’m a college student here in South Carolina who really misses my pets back home, so I’m looking for chances to care for other people’s pets while I’m at school. Spending time with animals — whether walking dogs, feeding cats, or just giving them attention — makes me happy, helps me manage stress, and gives me something meaningful to look forward to outside of my classes. In my home, pets enjoy a safe and relaxed environment. I have a friendly golden retriever who’s trained to stay in the yard, and a bunny who’s free to move around the house as he wishes. I make sure everyone stays comfortable and safe, supervise outdoor time, and always follow your care instructions closely—whether your pet is with me or I’m caring for them in your home.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets and farm animals of all kinds. I grew up on a 118-acre hobby farm, where caring for animals was part of everyday life and where my passion for animal care first began. I went to school to become a veterinary assistant and have continued working with animals throughout my adult life, giving me experience with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and care needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, caring for senior pets, and working with animals that may need extra patience, attention, or specialized care. I currently have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone dependable and attentive caring for your pets while you’re away. Whether your cat is social and playful or shy and independent, I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I treat every pet like family and strive to provide reliable, compassionate, and stress-free care for both pets and their owners.
“Nicole is a wonderful sitter! She watched my cat Otis for me semi last minute on a holiday weekend. He is a shy kitty but he was comfortable with her immediately. She was on time, communicative, and super sweet. Highly recommend!”
“Thomas did a great job with my 2 cats. They are very shy creatures, and don’t come out of hiding for most of the sitters that I have tried, but they were very friendly for him and got lots of snuggles. It is good to know that I have a reliable cat sitting option who my cats really like.”

“I highly recommend Shelby! She provided top-notch care for Kuma and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and happy. Communication was excellent and I was updated regularly with pictures and updates. I felt confident leaving my dog in their capable hands and will definitely be using their services again in the future. 5 stars!”
“10/10 experience as a dog owner. I didn’t even have to reach out first to get an update on Gingi and she was professional, timely, and nice :) Gingi seemed very comfortable and happy in her care. I would recommend and book again without hesitation !”
“Our Roo had a wonderful time. We picked him up and he was a very happy and tired boy. Suzanne has a great fenced back yard that is perfect for dogs. She’s very responsive and we so appreciated her taking Roo on fairly short notice. Thank you Suzanne.”
“Dani was amazing! Took my dog to her 3x and she was excited each time. Photos and updates were sent without asking. I would definitely book anytime to take care of my fur baby. I highly recommend.”
“Kayla was amazing with my dog! Each time I picked him up, he was happy, and clearly well cared for. She took amazing care of my pet even though he has a broken leg and has restrictions. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. Her services are absolutely worth every penny.”
About: Hi, I’m Clara! Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from tiny parrots to towering horses—and I’m confident handling everything in between. I have experience with: • Puppies and young dogs (training, socialization, and lots of patience!) • Caring for a dog with frequent seizures and special health needs • Working at a large dog rescue in Mexico, rehabilitating street dogs with behavioral and medical issues of all sizes • Administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions • Senior pet care with extra attention and gentleness (my dog is epileptic so I know how to administer all seizure meds and the full protocol) • Basic training and reinforcing good behavior • Horse care from years of working in barns (feeding, grooming, handling) • Volunteering for a year at a parrot rescue, learning about specialized bird care I’m active and outdoorsy, so I love taking energetic dogs for runs, hikes, or long walks—but I’m just as happy giving older or calmer pets plenty of snuggles. Safety, compassion, and keeping your pets happy are my top priorities, and I’ll always send plenty of photo updates while you’re away. I’m currently completely open and very flexible with scheduling. I’m not working another job right now, so I can adjust to your pet’s exact needs—whether that’s early mornings, late nights, or last-minute bookings. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. In my home, pets must be friendly with other dogs, as I have my own, and everyone’s well-being is a top priority. We have a fully fenced yard for safe play and fresh air, and I love going on regular walks to keep pets happy and healthy. I’m very routine-oriented, so I’ll follow your pet’s feeding, exercise, and care schedule exactly as you request—whether in my home or yours. I make sure each animal feels secure, loved, and stress-free, with plenty of supervision, enrichment, and affection.

About: Hi! I'm Kayla I'm a 28 year old part time college student and also work part time! I've always loved animals as I have grown up with animals since I was 4. I've always loved animals and took care of my own dogs Bella and Bailey. I love them with all my heart. Ive recently moved to Rhode Island and left our family dogs behind with my father and sisters. I would love to help you out with walking and caring for your dogs while you are busy or away. I will make sure they are loved,cuddled and pampered, kind of like a home away from home . I hope my services interest you and I get to meet and care for your dogs! Look forward to meet you and your pups and cats! Currently working part time so I have tons of time. Also always available Friday- sunday to be able to bring your dog outside or whatever needs are needed. I care for pets by bringing them for multiple walks a day. Making sure they are having fun.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience with both training and senior care. I trained my own dog, who is now 12 years old, and I currently care for him as he experiences arthritis. This has taught me how to recognize signs of discomfort, adjust activity levels, and provide daily massages to keep him comfortable. I understand that not every dog needs long walks, and I prioritize each pet’s individual needs, safety, and well-being. I’m currently a senior in college, which gives me a bit more flexibility in my schedule, and I truly enjoy spending that time caring for pets. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I’m able to plan my days around pets and give them the attention and consistency they need. I live in an off-campus house with a front yard that does not open onto a busy street, which helps provide a safe and calm environment for pets. The house is spacious, allowing pets to move around comfortably and have their own space to relax. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I’m very attentive and focused on making sure they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for. I take time to build trust, follow routines closely, and make sure pets feel safe and happy in my presence.
About: I'll be honest, I am doing this because I need extra money. But I want to make extra money spending time with your pets because I love being around animals and I want to spend actual time with them giving them love, exercise, and a good time. I am able to spend actual time with them as I am a teacher and do not work during the summer. Animals deserve to be shown affection as much as possible throughout the day especially when a lot of their time is spent waiting for owners to come home. Don't let your pets wait around for you, give them someone to hangout with in the meantime! I love taking dogs on walks and hikes! I know how important it is for animals to be cared for meaning being fed, bathed, and given a good rubbin. If you have any questions, feel free to ask (: I am a teacher on summer break so I am fully available for your pets! I love to take them for walks and play with them. I care for pets by taking them for walks and to the bathroom based on their schedule at home. I love to play with dogs and give them rubs. I love making new dog friends.
“I came into the area for the day and Elizabeth was so wonderful to watch my dog Daisy. She has such a lovely home and family. I would absolutely 💯% recommend Elizabeth. Daisy had a great day in her care!”

I have a very large fenced in yard but still provide 24/7 supervision as I fervently believe that fur babies need protection. We love being outdoors and being active. Simba is my youngest and he is full of pep to playfully engage the most energetic of all dogs.Yes we go on walks but lots of off leash romps throughout my large fenced in premises as well.My philosophy is that a well exercised pet is also are the most vital healthiest and happiest.

About: I’m pretty much a full-time stay-at-home dog mom to my two large dogs, so caring for dogs is already a huge part of my everyday life! I’ve spent months working on training with my own dogs and have lots of hands-on experience with different behaviors, routines, and personalities. I’m especially comfortable with large breeds, but I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. Your pup will be treated like part of the family while staying with me, with plenty of attention, playtime, love, and access to my fully fenced-in yard. I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet with someone new, so I’ll make sure you feel comfortable and keep you updated with plenty of pictures throughout their stay! Pet care is already a huge part of my everyday routine! I’m home most of the day with my own pets and have a very flexible work schedule, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m able to provide plenty of potty breaks, playtime, attention, meals on their normal schedule, and lots of time outside throughout the day. I have a fully fenced-in yard with plenty of room for dogs to play and two dogs of my own for company. I always prioritize safe introductions and will make sure your dog is comfortable with mine before their stay. Pets are welcome to make themselves at home, and I can easily separate or crate dogs when needed. I’ll follow your pet’s normal feeding, sleeping, medication, and care routine as closely as possible and provide plenty of updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of family/friends dogs for over 13 years. I have done drop in visits, over night stays and just dog walking. I have worked with all different breeds, sizes and ages! I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and dogs with different energy levels and temperaments. Whether that means reinforcing house-training and basic commands with a puppy, administering medications to a senior pet, or simply providing plenty of exercise and companionship, I tailor my care to each animal's needs. I love taking pictures of our furry friends so ill always be sure to keep you updated when im with them! I'm currently working full time but I can always do drop in visits and dog walking after work hours during the week and on weekends my availability is pretty much wide open on Saturdays and Sundays (typically when I take my own pet for adventures so if you have a busy dog who loves walks/hiking im your girl) We have an open yard, our own pup is well trained on her boundaries however for any pets not my own they stay on a 20 foot long line and walked around the property. Inside they are free to roam the house, however if needed crates are available for use. If ever unattended dogs will always be in a crate for their safety.
“Sarah and her family are a joy and took such good care of Monty while we were away. We loved the note and photo they left for us at the end of their care. I highly recommend them!”
About: Because Your Pet Deserves the Best, Even When You’re Away. I will care for your pet small, large, fluffy or feathery when you can't. Sometimes things come up or a well deserved vacation... there is no need when you pick me to worry about your loved pet family. I will treat them with respect, compassion, and love they deserve. I know that they are missing you. I will make sure that they have their own mini getaway when I am with them. This can be a walk, cuddles, or just tossing the ball. I can do stop ins for potty and food.. I can stop in and take them for a walk, or just stop in and play with them. I love all weather and am prepared for anything. Snow, rain, cold or storm. I am a stay at home mom who like any mom I am ready for anything. Last minute appointment (we all know that unexpected things happen. Don't worry about your pet message me), cleanups, accidents, snacks,protective (nothing will happen to your loved one with me), and even fun days outs. I am a mom and I am always ready for anything. It would be a honor to be invited to your home to check in on your loved one. I am extremely flexible and would enjoy meeting your pets. I would always treat your animals as I would want mine to be treated.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Growing up, my mother was (and still is) a doggy foster mom for our local shelter. We constantly had 4-6 dogs in our home, most of which ended up staying long term. I have years of experience caring for multiple dogs and senior care as well! I work completely from home which will allow me plenty of time to attend to your pups needs all throughout the day. I love to jog and hike, so your pup will be sure to get plenty of exercise and outdoor time with me! I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment for every pet in my care. Working from home allows plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. While I do not have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised and dogs will always be kept safely leashed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, feeding schedule, crate preferences, and any special care instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure.”
“Olivia is a genuine animal lover. Her passion and love for animals is evident the moment you meet her. Our Archie loved her too! She is incredibly responsive and responsible. We would definitely book her services again.”

“My dog absolutely MELTED when she saw Sierra. This is only the second time she's met her, with months between, and she acted like she'd been waiting for her to come back ever since. I think that's the best thing to reccomend her I could imagine and I already loved Sierra before seeing that reaction! If I could give more stars I would, thank you so much Sierra!”

I’m a pet-obsessed U.S. Navy veteran, professional dog groomer by trade, and lifelong animal person with hands-on experience caring for animals of all types, sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. Growing up, I had all kinds of animals to learn from, from small pets to much larger ones. Working professionally with dogs has taught me patience, how to read body language, recognize when a dog is stressed or uncomfortable, and adjust my approach to help them feel safe. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, nervous dogs, high-energy breeds, and multi-pet households. At home, I have an Australian Shepherd, a Miniature Schnauzer, and three cats of my own — and I would absolutely have more if I didn’t have a husband to keep me in check. Each of my pets has their own unique quirks and I’m very familiar with managing different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I’ll treat your pets the way I’d want someone to treat mine: with patience, attention, lots of love, and plenty of updates for you! work as a professional dog groomer, so pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. My schedule varies throughout the week, which gives me flexibility for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care. When I’m caring for your pet, I’ll make sure their normal feeding, potty, exercise, medication, and bedtime routines are kept as consistent as possible. I’m also happy to accommodate pets who need a little more structure, extra exercise, or simply more one-on-one attention. Safety is always my first priority. As a professional groomer, I’m very comfortable reading animal body language and recognizing when a pet is nervous, overwhelmed, or needs space. In my home, I have a securely fenced yard as well as resident dogs and cats, so introductions and interactions are handled carefully rather than assuming every animal will immediately be best friends. Pets can be separated for meals, downtime, or whenever needed, and I’m comfortable using crates or pens when that is already part of their routine. In a client’s home, I’ll follow your normal routine and house rules as closely as possible so your pet can stay comfortable in their own environment.
About: I have years of animal training under my belt and have had dogs my entire life. I have currently have an old Jack Russell and a cat! They love other dogs, so it’s been fun hosting over the past 10 years! We like to go on frequent walks, hikes, swims and anything else your pup enjoys. I do have little kids in the house, so the dog must have experience with children. Please note the following; **I do not accept puppies to board in my home** ** I require a meet and greet prior to accepting any new clients!** **MUST be cat friendly- This means has been around a cat** Any pick up that is more than 45 minutes late will incur an additional late pick up fee. I currently work part time- so I am home most of the time. I can let your dog out every 2-4 hours in our yard when I am not working. Daily walks outside. I have a dog friendly cat and a pet friendly house! I have a gated dog area with an open door crate for a safe space or quiet area.
About: Lots of experience taking care of dogs. But could take care of cats too. Experience with horses as well and overnight is an option as well . I’m headed to college so won’t be around much after Aug. but could maybe fit some in on breaks and holiday's or next summer time . I do pet sitting in your home or business . I do not offer boarding options or have the means to take care of pets at my house
About: I am a dog lover who owns 3 dogs. One pit bull mix, one Dashhound mix, and a pit bull puppy! I am also a foster home for rescued dogs through East Coast Canine Rescue. I have one dog who is very high energy and needs to play outside daily! I will kick a ball for him, and he runs for it with his toy in his mouth. I have part of my yard fenced in for pups to run around like crazy. I am a stay at home mom- my time is very flexible. We have two crates if necessary. Treats galore! My dogs are like family- We love on them like our children. Your dog will be treated like our own. We can give baths as well. Your dog will be very comfortable at my house. It will be a pleasure to have them. I have a very relaxed schedule that will cater to your dog. My dogs live like kings. They are cared for very well. Your dog will also be treated as family. They are able to go out whenever they want.
About: My veterinary assistant experience with small and large animals sets me apart as I keep a close eye on your animal’s health and well-being. I am not easily spooked, but I want your pet to receive the best care I can give. I am not a trainer, but I am comfortable dealing with some pets with behavioral issues. I want to create the safest and most comfortable environment for your pet, your sanity and myself! I currently work four days a week and have a three day weekend. I am looking to pet sit for people who are going on a short trip or need routine weekend care. I can be flexible with week nights, but it will need to be established well in advance. I am looking to house sit in the owners residence. My cats would not be happy to have any new comers to our family. I am very punctual with breakfast and dinner time, and I am typically one to spend time wherever the pet would like to whether that be indoors or outdoors!
About: I have volunteered with a dog rescue for the last years working with a variety of different dog breeds, ages, sizes, and behavioral issues. I also have 2 years of basic obedience dog training through that rescue, especially working through behavioral issues such as fear and reactivity. I also currently work as a Doggie Daycare Attendant. I currently work part-time as a doggy daycare attendant. I have 3 of my own dogs, as well as a foster dog. My mother in law lives with my family so there is almost always someone home, especially so for potty breaks. All of my dog remain crated while unattended. Potty breaks as as frequently as needed, especially with my senior dog. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have long leads for outside and dogs are never left unsupervised outside.
About: As a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet owner, my top priority is ensuring both you and your furry family member feel completely confident and comfortable in my care. I have four years of hands-on experience in house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits; alongside my daily work at a dog and cat boarding facility. I am well versed in handling different animal behaviors and administering oral and subcutaneous medications safely. Having grown up around dogs of various breeds and sizes, I know how to adapt to your pet's unique personality. Whether they thrive on high energy adventures or prefer quiet couch cuddles, I am committed to maintaining their normal routine and treating them like my own. I am currently looking to fill blank slots in the morning during the week. Please don’t hesitate to reach out, I will try to fit you into my schedule the best I can! I care for pets in their own home to keep their routine comfortable and stress free while keeping your home tidy and secure. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, and I’ll always reach out right away if anything seems unusual. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
About: I'll be honest, I am doing this because I need extra money. But I want to make extra money spending time with your pets because I love being around animals and I want to spend actual time with them giving them love, exercise, and a good time. I am able to spend actual time with them as I am a teacher and do not work during the summer. Animals deserve to be shown affection as much as possible throughout the day especially when a lot of their time is spent waiting for owners to come home. Don't let your pets wait around for you, give them someone to hangout with in the meantime! I love taking dogs on walks and hikes! I know how important it is for animals to be cared for meaning being fed, bathed, and given a good rubbin. If you have any questions, feel free to ask (: I am a teacher on summer break so I am fully available for your pets! I love to take them for walks and play with them. I care for pets by taking them for walks and to the bathroom based on their schedule at home. I love to play with dogs and give them rubs. I love making new dog friends.

“Jessica was great! Her set up is awesome for dogs, with a huge play area outside for all the dogs to enjoy. She’s very informative and send pictures with updates. All the dogs looked like they had a great time playing in the water and hanging out. Oliver is so happy.”
“Dawn was great! She got back to me quickly when we were planning a last minute trip. Her place was very nice: really big yard, friendly dogs and people. My older dog was very comfortable there and I left him with no worries. She sent pictures during his stay. All in all, a great experience for me and my dog.”
“Dani was so accommodating with a last minute request. She is very knowledgeable about dogs. She has a caring personality as was a perfect match for my dog. Will be using her service again.”

He looked relaxed and happy with her and her family and I appreciated how attentive she was to his needs. Thank you again for taking such good care of him. I would definitely book with you again.”
“This was my dog Hank's 2nd stay with Sydney. She took good care of him, including tending to his paws when they were irritated by the salt on the walkways, and her communication was excellent. I would highly recommend this sitter.”
“Wil was really great with my dog, even though he is usually reactive he behaved wonderfully with him and I could tell he had a really good time there! I will definitely be booking again! There was some slight confusion though since I wasn’t told it wouldn’t be Francis herself watching my dog but rather her parents, which was fine as they were great with him but it was a surprise.”
“Elizabeth was amazing! Her and her family made our dog feel so warm and welcome despite being a nervous Nelly around new people. She sent us regular updates and photos, so we always had peace of mind!”
“Shelby was great for our young puppy. We were worried because she’s super young and not even 4 months yet and we just got her a few weeks ago. But Shelby took care of her perfectly, followed her schedule and she had a great time. She kept us up to date with videos and photos, and our dog even got to get some socialization by becoming good buddies with her dogs. Definitely recommend her and will use her in the future if we need to!”
“Saskia took excellent care of our dog while we were out of town for a week. We received daily pictures and updates. Saskia was great at reaching out and addressing any concerns promptly. We were thrilled with her care of our energetic pup and will not hesitate to book again. Thanks!”
“Torie was great with our two morkies, one of which has PLE and has some intense dietary restrictions. She was very communicative and quick to respond during the stay! Thank you Torie!”
“Moby, a clinger, was in a total comfort zone amongst this loving family. Care was complete + a boot camp of healthy activity. Other 🐾 campers alongside was great for his social abilities. Now, our go-to when we have to be away!”

“Laura was amazing! From the day we went over to meet her and see her home we knew our dog Rooster was in good hands. Throughout our time away Laura kept us updated with pics and videos showing how much fun he was having with the other dogs in her care. This meant so much! He came home happy, healthy, and I’m sure missing the fun he was having all day at Laura’s. We will definitely be using her for all future trips.”
“Devorat went above and beyond to make sure our dog Rae was loved and well cared for plus making sure I had daily updates. She loved Rae as her own and I was totally at ease on my trip knowing Rae was in good hands. Will definitely book again in the future!”
