Highly-rated overnight sitters - Danbury
“I was caught in a bind as I was moving and my current place had to cancel due to the weather. This is my first time using Rover and I needed to find someone to watch my pup. River is a bit reserved and can be very nervous. Pam is a life saver. She sent pictures throughout her visit and I was completely at ease during a very stressful move. I will definitely recommend Pam and will reach out to her again whenever I need a sitter for my girl. Thanks a million. You are the best!!!”
“Nicole is great and once again gave my dog Lulu a mini vacation at her place. Lulu had fun with her and other guest dogs and chilled at baby pool with sprinklers. She had a great time as usual at Nicole’s. Thx so much!”
“Tinaclem too great care of Mika! She was great with communication and took her on plenty of walks and have gave her plenty of love and care and had a a wonderful home to keep her in! Tinaclem was super nice and I would definitely would suggest her and use her again!”
“Sue was great. Really patient and accommodating. My pup was returned to me happy and healthy. Her husband was also very nice and they both seemed very confident and comfortable with my pup who’s a 48lb pittie. Thank you Sue and Franky. We appreciated your care and attention to our fur baby. Sue also sent regular selfies of the pup and was quick to reply to messages.”
“Saori was such a great sitter for our pups (1 year old great pyrenees). She took them to the dog park in the morning for a couple of hours, helped continue our invisibile fence training, and sent us so many pics and updates throughout the weekend. I could tell how happy and comfortable our dogs were in her home and under her care. They came home so tired because they had so much fun with her and the other dogs!”
“Jessica was really good with my dog Apollo it was his first time being away from the family and she made sure to make him feel welcomed in her home I got updates videos and picture Apollo also had an upset stomach while with and she took good care of him and made him feel better”
“Very nice experience for Rufus esp with her 2 dogs , I think Bark is Rufus additional best friend ? ! No fence yard is a No problem !!! And thank you Michele for considering too for another day , I was on mistake with my booking days and I’m so happy & appreciate the extension right away . I wouldn’t hesitate to book again if time permits.”
“Kyle was very professional. We had a meet and greet at a local dog park and he answered all my questions. We received texts and pictures while we were away. Our Bernese Mountain dog was treated like family and came home exhausted. Would definitely use Kyle again!”
“Ryan EXCEEDED my expectations! He has an intuitive way with dogs. He is very knowledgable about dogs & dog behavior. Ryan is the real deal-- a true animal lover & kind, decent human being. He communicated well with pics and updates during my dog's visit. During our initial meeting I felt an instant rapport he had with my dog that put me at ease. His home is VERY dog-centric! The visiting dogs are not confined and are free to mingle and find their own place to relax. There are ample dog beds, couches, human beds and floor space for lounging and sleeping. I especially appreciate that Ryan limits the number of dogs he boards at one time to a very small group, & makes sure they vibe well together beforehand. The living space Ryan and his boarders occupy is all on one level, which is great for my dog with arthritis. There is a wooded trail for walks adjoining the yard, and a guest bedroom if a dog needs some quiet alone time. I would HIGHLY recommend Ryan and I plan to use him again!”
“Dew dog sat my dog for 3 days and 2 nights. I am very happy with his stay. He was individually cared for, even though there were other dogs there. Dew sent emails and pictures daily. I would definitely use her again to watch my dog. Thank you Dew 🦋”
About: I volunteer in animal shelter constantly, I have taken care of dogs from friends and coworkers multiples times. I wanna be a vet one day!! I am currently out of school for summer so I got a lot free time that i would love to spend with cats and dogs I am really responsible and I have lovely cat that would love to have more fur friends, and I also have yard which they can play in it
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I truly believe every pup deserves to feel loved, safe, and spoiled (just a little 😉). I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, including fostering, so I understand that every dog has their own quirks, needs, and favorite ways to have fun, cuz same 💁🏻♀️ My schedule gives me extra flexibility, especially on weekends when I’m kid-free and can dedicate my time to some very deserving pups! 🐾 I’m looking forward to filling that time with wagging tails, happy walks, and lots of dog love. I’d love to be the person who gives your dog some extra attention, playtime, and companionship when they need it most. 🐶💕 My home is currently pet-free (aside from my two little humans 😉), which means a calm, clean, and welcoming space for visiting pups. I have a safe home where dogs can relax, feel comfortable, and truly be part of the family. In my house, pups are welcome on the couch, encouraged to get cozy, and yes… snuggles in bed are absolutely allowed! 🐾❤️ I want every dog staying with me to feel loved, comfortable, and right at home.
“First thing- Meghan was great! Finn states with her fior 4 nights and I couldn’t have asked for more out of a sitter. She communicated well with us during his stay and is overall a very kind, responsible sitter. I will (and I’m sure Finn) be looking forward to booking with her in the future!”
“Kayla was an absolute angel…she was very attentive to my anxious puppers! My dog was happy and she relaxed in her care. I’m thrilled that I found Kayla! Will absolutely use her again!”
“Devon and his wife were delightful and responsive when we needed boarding for our two fur babies. They provided plenty of updates, pictures, and were very lovely to interact with. We will absolutely be asking them again to help us whenever we need and highly recommend them for all your pet sitting needs. Thank you!”
“Lily is WONDERFUL. She is very loving and kind to my Boozle and Pepe. She took excellent care of them. What I loved is getting daily pics and movies of my little guys. They get tons of attention and Lily picked up on their habits right away. I highly recommend Lily. Total peace of mind.”

“Hayley went above and beyond for our furry daughter while we were away on a long vacation! This was our first time using a sitter via Rover so we had some nerves going into the process, but Hayley was very communicative and even did an initial meet and greet with our cat before booking. We gave Hayley specific instructions for visits and followed everything down to the very last word. Her post-visit Rover cards were descriptive and came with kitty photos that reassured us but also made us miss her a lot! It was great to see that our cat felt very comfortable and warm towards her right from the beginning. At the last stay, Hayley took a picture of the remaining pet supplies so we were prepared to make any pet store stops if needed. I'm very happy with this booking and can't wait to use Hayley in the future!”
“Paul was able to come, with very little notice, to sit with my 2 dogs while I had to run some urgent errands. He was prompt, friendly, communicated well, and was patient and kind with my nervous dogs who had been traveling and were in a new environment. I am so grateful to Paul for helping me out and I look forward to hiring him again!”
“Tara was an amazing sitter! It was my first time using Rover and was naturally hesitant, but she made it a great experience. She sent many pictures, was very responsive, and really spent quality time with my pet during the visits. I would definitely recommend her and plan on reaching out to her in the future.”
“Diana takes good care of Kuma while we’re away for vacation. She knows how to chat and pet. Kuma enjoys Diana’s visit. We especially love the pictures Diana took. Very lovely and artistic. Strongly recommend!”
“Allison was amazing!! We hired her to drop in and take care of our pet cat and she did such a great job. She set up a meet and greet to get to know our cat first, and I could tell by the questions that she was asking that she truly cares about animals. Even our skittish cat took to her right away. We felt such peace of mind knowing Allison would be caring for her while we were gone. 5 stars, would definitely book her again!!”
“Sara has provided drop-in visits for our 2 cats a number of times. She always takes lots of pictures and sometimes a video so we can see what our kitties are up to when we are away from home. It’s such a good feeling to know they’re in warm, caring hands when we are away!”
“I was going out of town, and every time I boarded my cat she was so stressed out. So I decided to look for a sitter to come into my house for a drop in visit. Stephanie was fantastic She followed my directions, was very communicative and respectful of the house. I would use her again and recommend her.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life! My family and then myself have adopted and taken care of dogs and cats of all ages but more recently, I have adopted senior dogs and taken care of all their needs. I work at Western Connecticut with lots of flexibility in my schedule! I’m usually available to come and go during the day if needed and only live a few minutes from work. The complex I live in is very dog friendly! I had my dog with there until she passed. There are lots of designated dog walking areas, dog grooming and wash rooms.
“Sarah was wonderful. She was great with my cats and I felt reassured while on vacation knowing that they were being taken care of while I was out of town. I will definitely be booking Sarah again in the future.”
“Tori was a great cat sitter! She went above and beyond with some of the craziness that comes with a multiple cat household. The cats were happy and definitely well cared for while we were away. Even better is that we got home and our house looked neater than it did when we left. We will use her again the next time we go away.”
“Melissa made us feel so comfortable knowing our dog was being so well taken care of. Her updates and pictures are great. She is reliable and compassionate. Thank you Melissa!”
“Isabelle is so sweet and she was great with our boy Boone! We didnt have enough time for her to meet Boone prior to booking so our boy was nervous when she first got there, but she made sure to give him his space and time to warm up to her. It paid off because they spent the evening on the couch together 😊 She followed the schedule we provided and she sent photo and picture updates throughout their time together, which was great. Boone made a new friend so we’ll be sure to book Isabelle again!”
“Rhea was excellent - on time, responsive, took plenty of photos and from those photos I could tell that my cat was enjoying his time with her. Would absolutely hire again - thank you!”
“Carlie is FABULOUS! She had quality visits with my two dogs, and provided thorough, insightful honest feedback about how each was doing. One is an elder requiring heart meds. He showed some signs of stress on one of her visits which she described to a T. She had the good judgement to give him a pee and poo break but forego the walk with him. Next visit he was great. Based upon her feedback I felt completely confident that they were in the best possible hands. Carlie is a vet tech, and this added skill/ experience was obvious in how she handled things. She is a woman of kind and gentle temperament and great skill. I could not recommend her more highly. THANK YOU CARLIE!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats since I could walk, so caring for animals has always felt second nature. I also volunteer as a dog walker, socializer, and trainer at Danbury Animal Welfare Society, where I work with dogs of different temperaments, energy levels, and needs. My style is calm, patient, and attentive, whether your dog needs a real exercise walk, your cat needs a quiet check-in, or your older pet just needs someone gentle and consistent. I know trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big deal, so I take reliability seriously. I’ll show up when I say I will, pay attention to your pet’s routine, and send clear updates so you know they’re safe, happy, and cared for. I currently work full time, but my evenings and weekends are often free. I’m a good fit for weekend walks, evening check-ins, drop-in visits, and occasional pet care when your regular routine needs extra support. Because I value reliability, I only accept bookings I know I can show up for fully and on time. I pay close attention to each pet’s body language, comfort level, routines, and boundaries, and I never force interactions with people, dogs, or unfamiliar situations. For walks, I keep dogs securely leashed, avoid unsafe areas, and adjust the pace to the dog’s age, energy, and temperament. I’m comfortable with shy, anxious, energetic, and older pets, and I believe patience and consistency go a long way. For drop-ins, I’ll respect your home, follow your instructions carefully, check food, water, litter, doors, and gates, and send clear updates so you know how your pet is doing.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Danbury
“Highly recommend! My baby was well taken care of! Tinaclem was super friendly. When we arrived she introduced her dog with mine and brought them both to the back yard so she can get familiar with the yard and was very welcoming! Many walks and lots of pics for updates! ❤️My baby was pooped for days! She already misses Elvis! Sweet dog she has!”
“Nicole is not only knowledgeable but you can feel how she loves taking care of animals! I appreciate so much the care she has provided and will using her again! Thank you 🙏🏻”
About: I am a dedicated animal lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for pets, including dogs, cats, and ferrets. I’m comfortable administering oral medications and providing attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s needs. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, built around consistent feeding times, walks, and play sessions. I set aside dedicated time each day and week to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. This routine helps pets feel secure while allowing me to provide reliable, high-quality care. I provide attentive, compassionate care by following each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, fresh water, exercise, and playtime. In a client’s home, I respect their space while ensuring their pet feels safe, comfortable, and stress-free in a familiar environment. I also monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior or health and provide regular updates to give owners peace of mind.
“Rachael was able to help us out with very little notice. She was so sweet with my 2 pups and they loved her. They are older and really just want someone to sit with them and give them hugs. My chihuahua is sometimes a little grouchy & nervous. Rachael put them right at ease and handled them well on walks. We hope we can have her back again soon!”
“Fergus our 1 year old had a wonderful time at Kyle's. He played all day and was very comfortable there. We will definitely book again and build up some overnights.Its a great relief to have found a safe place and a caring dog lover to watch him.”
“Rachel was amazing with our deaf pup, Hazel! She was so communicative and made us feel comfortable. Hazel had a wonderful time at daycare! Would recommend Rachel to everyone!”
About: Hi, my name is Ryan, and I’ve spent a lot of time fostering abandoned dogs. Through that experience, I’ve worked closely with dogs of all kinds, including those with behavioral challenges, helping them build the confidence and skills they need to thrive in loving forever homes. It’s been an incredibly rewarding journey, filled with meaningful connections and plenty of bittersweet goodbyes along the way. Although I’ve decided to take a step back from fostering, I realized just how much joy dogs bring to my everyday life. I’m excited to continue working with dogs by offering caring, reliable dog daycare and boarding services, while putting the experience and skills I’ve developed to good use. I'm at home full time and I'm able to watch your pups all day long! Multiple walks, a trip to the dog park and playtime at home every single day! My approach emphasizes patience, structure, and positive reinforcement to ensure each dog receives attentive, individualized care in a safe and supportive environment with a limited amount of dogs at a time. Dogs are welcome on all furniture and beds, so they can relax wherever they feel most comfortable. If your dog prefers their crate, you're welcome to bring it along, but they're free to make themselves at home anywhere in the house.
“I dropped my dog off for a day of daycare. She got me in last minute and was great at communicating. My dog is usually nervous but seemed comfortable with Kayla. I look forward to working with her in the future.”
“Excellent sitter! My 4 month old puppy had a blast and Isabel was super about sending multiple pictures throughout the day. Awesome environment and home for a doggy day care. Definitely recommend.”
“Dew goes above and beyond for my puppy. Checks in regularly when he is in her care and even checks in when he is at home. As a first time user of a dog-sitter, I was anxious about leaving my puppy in someone else’s care. Dew almost immediately alleviated my concerns. I feel like her care has been a major benefit for me and for my puppy’s social development. Will continue to take advantage of Dew’s services for the foreseeable future. Highly recommended!”
About: Our business has been booming with referrals and friends/family requests. Since dogs bring so much joy to life, I am dedicating more time to open bookings to new pets. I am a dog lover for a lifetime. As a kid, I would care for strays. As an adult, I have had a dog in my life for the past 30 years- I have adopted 3 full grown, mature labs from various shelters and they all had a great, long life! My current Lab is our sitting “mascot” and she welcomes all dogs to our homestay center. She was an adoptee from an elderly couple. My young adult son & dog-lover is a great co-host to care for and play with your pet. Pets are like family here and they will be loved, cared for and respected. We will give play, attention, exercise, love and create a setting where your pet feels comfortable and not stressed. We should do a meet and greet with our dogs prior to first boarding. The yard here is fully fenced, but I only let dogs out in the yard with supervision. I will give walks/hikes, as you like. Your dog can sleep and hang-out in whatever area of the house is comfortable to him or her. If they prefer a crate, we can. If they prefer their own room, they can have my lower level finished room. If they like to mix it up with the family they can. We cater to your dog and help to diminish their stress and let them be themselves. If the pup is stressed and needs extra attention at night, they can sleep in the bedroom, ( sometimes on the bed, only if you allow that) . I have cared for multiple senior and special needs dogs, providing medication, and special care routines. We look forward to getting to know your loving pet and offering them a home away from home! Pet Care is a dominant share of our daily lives. Someone is here most of the day, so lots of interaction and attention is provided. If we run out , here or there ( as you would at home) each dog get’s their own space to hang-out. Dogs visiting from different families are only together, when supervised. My Home-Away-Vacay-Stay has a fully fenced yard with plenty of toys. Run of the house and cuddles with our family make your pup feel at home.
About: Hello! My name is Daphne. Since I was a little girl, I have had a huge passion and love for dogs. I have grown up with bully breeds for my entire life. From Rottweilers to Pit bulls, to American Bulldogs. I currently have an Olde English Bulldog who is the princess of our family. I have a huge love for dogs but specifically bully breeds. I understand how strong they are when going for walks and how much love they have to give. I have experience working at a dog kennel in Putnam Valley taking care of multiple dogs at a time, big and small. I also take care of my neighbors 3 black labs when she is away multiple times a year. I currently work remote so I am available any time during the weekday. I do require a few days advanced noticed so I can plan my schedule! I am able to provide fresh food and water for dogs. I will also ensure dogs get regular walks and exercise as per their usual routine.
About: I have taken care of dogs and various other pets my whole adult life. I believe trust is the most important thing when it comes to leaving your pets with a sitter and I can assure you I will treat your pets like I would my own, with love and respect. Your dog will be staying in a family style boarding situation, where they get the love and attention from myself, my husband and our 2 children (7 and 10) who adore helping out with all the pups. We have a large fenced in back yard for lots of supervised running, playing and sniffing! I am trained in obedience training and can provide puppy socialization. Please reach out to me with any questions or to schedule a meeting! Boarding is always available. I am available weekdays after 8:30 am - 3:30 pm for walks, drop ins, puppy socialization or obedience training. I am fully available on the weekends for boarding, walking, drop-ins, puppy socialization and obedience training. I have 3 extremely friendly small dogs for your fur baby to play with or relax with. I strive to make the dogs that stay here comfortable and as stress free as possible.
“We've had a wonderful experience with Valerie; she is sweet and very attentive to us and our puppy. Her home is very welcoming to pets. She sends photos and videos throughout the day, and we see what a great time our Lily is having with her dog Henry. Looking forward to another stay.”
About: 4 years of experience working at a veterinarian office and lifetime pet owner with no current pets. Let me care for your pet like I cared for mine. Work from home, single adult with no children or pets(yet🤣) able to walk local with lots of parks and trails if longer walks are desired. Two level condominium so stairs are required unless smaller and I can pick up to go out, able to give medications, baths, nails and lots and lots of love.

“Stuart had an issue getting my dog to go back in my home after her walk was over. Christmas Eve wanted to stay laying on the grass outside. Stuart immediately contacted me for assistance in getting Chrissy back in the home. She finally was coaxed to oblige with her favorite dog treat. Thank you again Stuart”
“Thanks for being so patient with my fur baby, again! Ensuring Winter becomes comfortable with you prior your house/dog sitting beginning on the 20th is super important. Thank you for the extra time!”
“Sara is amazing at what she does! She is an absolute joy with my pup, does everything she can think of to engage with them, while keeping them safe and happy. Your fur-ball couldn’t be in better hands!”
“Sarah has been absolutely wonderful with taking care of my baby boy! From the very beginning, she’s shown a genuine love and care for him that puts my mind at ease. She has such a warm and friendly personality, and it’s clear she treats all the fur babies she cares for like her own. I always look forward to her updates—she sends the sweetest photos from their walks, and it’s so comforting to know he’s getting plenty of love, attention, and belly rubs while I’m working long hours. Her reliability, thoughtfulness, and clear passion for animals really stand out. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet caregiver”

“Diana is an absolute GEM. My dog (and cats) love when she comes for her weekly walk with my little man. She brings a fabulous energy and is so sweet to all of my pets. She goes above and beyond, taking her time with my dog to play a quick fetch or giving the cats some scratches. Can’t say enough how glad we are to have a solid walker. As new dog moms, she’s relieved a lot of anxiety about how his day is going while we’re at work. I feel very comfortable leaving my pets in her care.”
About: Over the past 10 years , I have gained extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I have developed a strong understanding of canine behavior and needs. I am currently a para at preschool. Off for the next 2 weeks will be working summer program Monday -Thursday 8-1 am very flexible with any time I’m not working. I can crate dog if required but we do have outdoor leash with long distance. Normally we take dog to park to play or stay in the ac to play
“Lindsey is just an amazing person and so sweet with Benny. She's kind, loving, gentle and caring. Benny absolutely LOVES going on walks with her! He looks SO happy in the photos. What a blessing she is. So very grateful that we found Lindsey!!”
About: I have cared for multiple dog, cat, and rabbit breeds. Friends and family have relied on me numerous times to care for their pets for extended periods of time (days-weeks), including walks, baths, feeding, grooming, and overall patience with their furry family member. I will stick to the same routine you have for your pet as to not further stress the animal. I offer drop-ins, and dog walks! 🐾Walks are usually between 30-60 minutes in your neighborhood. 🐈 Litter box will be cleaned and they’ll have good company, even if they don’t come out I’ll stay just to make sure they’re safe and not getting into trouble. Please let me know if your pet has any medical issues/ special diets. I am experienced with elderly pets and can administer topical treatments as well as oral/fluid medication. You will get updates while I am with your pet, expect pictures and notes. If anything out of the ordinary occurs you will be contacted immediately (if you’re not available please leave another emergency contact that lives close by) I am free most days of the week, and I am currently very flexible. ‼️‼️For house sitting I cannot sleep over but I can stay all day! I usually go to the client’s home to care for the pet as I live with my parents still. I make sure bowls are washed after every meal, treats are given, litter is clean and ensure the pet is comfortable (even in their own home because a new person may cause stress). I’m an early riser and a night owl so morning and night walks are easy (so is breakfast and dinner), and I love being outside.
About: Hi! My name is Gianna, and I offer reliable, caring pet care services for both dogs and cats. My services may include dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, potty breaks, basic cleanup, companionship, and photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I am also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, whether that means specific feeding instructions, favorite toys, preferred walking routes, or extra cuddle time. I have about 6 years of experience caring for pets, including dogs and cats with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I understand that every pet is different. Some pets need lots of activity and attention, while others need patience, gentleness, and time to warm up. I always try to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I take that responsibility seriously. I currently work from home and also attend school online, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend more quality time with pets. Because I am home often and not commuting to an office every day, I am able to provide attentive care, check-ins, and companionship throughout the day depending on your pet’s needs. I am doing pet care as a way to make school more manageable while also doing something I genuinely enjoy. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets like they are my own. Whether your pet needs a walk, a visit, playtime, feeding, or just someone kind and dependable to keep them company, I am happy to help. My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind. I am currently working full-time remotely but am looking to supplement my time with animal care. I have always loved animals and it’s important to me. I take it very seriously, I want everyone to know that I will love your animal as much as mine. I will always make sure that it is a delicate process.

About: I have owned cats my entire life and have had my own beloved dog for 11 years. Working as a private instructor and teacher, I routinely enter clients' homes and have mastered the art of reading animal body language. I consider myself a bit of a dog and cat "whisperer"—I have zero fear or nervousness around animals, and pets quickly sense my calm, positive aura. I treat every animal I care for with the exact same love, respect, and high-quality attention that I give to my very own pets. As a teacher, my summer schedule opens up beautifully! While I will still be working with a few students, I schedule my lessons earlier in the day to ensure I have maximum flexibility for your pets. My weekends are 100% completely free and dedicated to pet care, and my late afternoons and evenings are entirely open as well. I am highly organized and communicative, so you will always know exactly when I am coming and going. Security, safety, and a calm environment are my top priorities. Because of my professional background as an in-home private instructor, I am deeply respectful of my clients' spaces, privacy, and household rules. I know how to keep a home secure, stick to strict feeding and medical routines, and handle any unexpected situations calmly. I excel at maintaining a stress-free environment so your pets feel completely relaxed, safe, and loved while you are away.
About: Since childhood, I’ve owned multiple dog breeds, cats, and rabbits. I have experience in working with many different sized animals, many different breeds, and animals that can be more challenging. I volunteer in an animal assisted therapy program that caters to children with special needs, in addition to my career as a hairstylist. 🐶 🦮 🐾 I will be caring for your animals in your home, walking them outside in your neighborhood, or at a local park if you’re comfortable. I’m currently unable to care for or board any other animals in my own home.

“Nicole is great and once again gave my dog Lulu a mini vacation at her place. Lulu had fun with her and other guest dogs and chilled at baby pool with sprinklers. She had a great time as usual at Nicole’s. Thx so much!”
“Sue was great. Really patient and accommodating. My pup was returned to me happy and healthy. Her husband was also very nice and they both seemed very confident and comfortable with my pup who’s a 48lb pittie. Thank you Sue and Franky. We appreciated your care and attention to our fur baby. Sue also sent regular selfies of the pup and was quick to reply to messages.”
“Saori was such a great sitter for our pups (1 year old great pyrenees). She took them to the dog park in the morning for a couple of hours, helped continue our invisibile fence training, and sent us so many pics and updates throughout the weekend. I could tell how happy and comfortable our dogs were in her home and under her care. They came home so tired because they had so much fun with her and the other dogs!”
“Jessica was really good with my dog Apollo it was his first time being away from the family and she made sure to make him feel welcomed in her home I got updates videos and picture Apollo also had an upset stomach while with and she took good care of him and made him feel better”

And thank you Michele for considering too for another day , I was on mistake with my booking days and I’m so happy & appreciate the extension right away .

“Kyle was very professional. We had a meet and greet at a local dog park and he answered all my questions. We received texts and pictures while we were away. Our Bernese Mountain dog was treated like family and came home exhausted. Would definitely use Kyle again!”
“Ryan EXCEEDED my expectations! He has an intuitive way with dogs. He is very knowledgable about dogs & dog behavior. Ryan is the real deal-- a true animal lover & kind, decent human being. He communicated well with pics and updates during my dog's visit. During our initial meeting I felt an instant rapport he had with my dog that put me at ease. His home is VERY dog-centric! The visiting dogs are not confined and are free to mingle and find their own place to relax. There are ample dog beds, couches, human beds and floor space for lounging and sleeping. I especially appreciate that Ryan limits the number of dogs he boards at one time to a very small group, & makes sure they vibe well together beforehand. The living space Ryan and his boarders occupy is all on one level, which is great for my dog with arthritis. There is a wooded trail for walks adjoining the yard, and a guest bedroom if a dog needs some quiet alone time. I would HIGHLY recommend Ryan and I plan to use him again!”
“Dew dog sat my dog for 3 days and 2 nights. I am very happy with his stay. He was individually cared for, even though there were other dogs there. Dew sent emails and pictures daily. I would definitely use her again to watch my dog. Thank you Dew 🦋”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I truly believe every pup deserves to feel loved, safe, and spoiled (just a little 😉). I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, including fostering, so I understand that every dog has their own quirks, needs, and favorite ways to have fun, cuz same 💁🏻♀️ My schedule gives me extra flexibility, especially on weekends when I’m kid-free and can dedicate my time to some very deserving pups! 🐾 I’m looking forward to filling that time with wagging tails, happy walks, and lots of dog love. I’d love to be the person who gives your dog some extra attention, playtime, and companionship when they need it most. 🐶💕 My home is currently pet-free (aside from my two little humans 😉), which means a calm, clean, and welcoming space for visiting pups. I have a safe home where dogs can relax, feel comfortable, and truly be part of the family. In my house, pups are welcome on the couch, encouraged to get cozy, and yes… snuggles in bed are absolutely allowed! 🐾❤️ I want every dog staying with me to feel loved, comfortable, and right at home.
“First thing- Meghan was great! Finn states with her fior 4 nights and I couldn’t have asked for more out of a sitter. She communicated well with us during his stay and is overall a very kind, responsible sitter. I will (and I’m sure Finn) be looking forward to booking with her in the future!”
“Devon and his wife were delightful and responsive when we needed boarding for our two fur babies. They provided plenty of updates, pictures, and were very lovely to interact with. We will absolutely be asking them again to help us whenever we need and highly recommend them for all your pet sitting needs. Thank you!”
“I can't say enough great things about Jonathan and the care he provides for my two babies Louie and Chase. Like many pet owners, my babies mean the world to me and it takes a lot for me to trust someone with them. Jonathan cares for my dogs as if they were his own. He is extremely professional, responsible, and caring. His scheduling system is very easy to use and he provides very personalized care easy to reach and gives updates after her visits. He is very flexible and reliable and has made my life much easier. I highly recommend Jonathan to anyone looking for a dog sitting service.”
“From the moment we met Rachel we knew she was a true dog lover! Galileo warmed up to her immediately! Rachel sent pics and updates, and I could tell she kept Galileo busy and he felt at home at her place. I am very picky on who I leave our dog with, and I will definitely use Rachel again! Thank you Rachel!”
“Our dog Odie is one lucky pup. It’s been awhile since he stayed at a sitter’s home and as an older dog, we were hoping that he’d be fine with this newer experience in care. He did so well under the genuine loving care that Kathryn provided. She kept us apprised of Odie’s status with photos and reports. Her home is a lovely dog-friendly place to be with a beautiful and large fenced-in yard. My husband and I are truly more than happy to recommend Kathryn’s wonderful caregiving, without hesitation. Thanks, Kathryn!!”
