Personalized care for your dog or cat - Georgetown
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Georgetown
“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!”
“Lily was warm and caring. Leo was comfortable and played with his friends. She gave the food exactly as instructed. Shared endearing pictures with us. Overall it was a good experience for all of us. Thanks Lily.”
“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!!”
“Tenley and Boedi came home so tired, they must've had so much fun! Claudia kept us updated and sent photos and was attentive to our Furbabies' needs. It's great to have a sitter close to home!”
“Dew is the most kind, und loves my dog like he belongs to her. I am so relieved he is with her as I am in bed with a broken ankle. I know he is so well loved and taken care of.”
About: Often called the dog whisperer of my family, I take the time to care for pets and build a connection that is almost instantaneous! I have been the main caretaker for my dogs for a lot of my life, so I have experience with puppies to senior dogs! I also have experience with cats and am prepared to assist your fur children with whatever they need! My schedule is flexible as I’m a new grad, so I am adaptable to what your pets need. I never take dogs off leash outside of the home. Right before I walk them outside, I put on the leash and make sure they are fully secured to their harness or collar! When I walk into the home, I greet the furry friends, provide a treat, and get to know them before we head out. Once we’re back, I either put them back in their crate if requested or make sure they’re all set up for the rest of the day. I’m currently a new grad, and currently looking to start my career while I work part-time. My schedule at this time is pretty open, so multiple times of the day are available! I have 3 friendly terriers that are excited to meet your pup if that’s preferred. I am able to take your pup on walks at their favorite trail/park or in their home space! I can crate your dog if needed, or get them set up with food, water, whatever they need until you’re home!
“Laura, Carolina and Enrique were very welcoming of Nora. They took really good care of her. It was her first time here and she loved their backyard. Nora is a mini aussie who loves to run and their backyard was perfect for her.”
“Kyle was very welcoming, easy to meet/talk to, thorough in his overview of services, and happy to answer all of our questions. He’s clearly a dog lover and was willing to accommodate any special needs of our dog. He sent photos and updates along the way as well, which was much appreciated. He took great care of our pup. Thanks, Kyle!”
“I booked with Hazard for a weekend, and I can’t say enough positive things about the experience. They were truly awesome! From the start, I felt completely at ease thanks to the frequent photo updates they sent. It was wonderful not having to wonder how my dog was doing because I got to see him happy and well cared for throughout the day. On top of that, they even provided a cute “report card” at the end of the day, which was such a thoughtful touch and gave me a great little summary of how he did. Overall, I was really happy with their care and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.”
“Daisy lived her overnight stay with Saori. She came home happy and super relaxed. I loved getting photo updates throughout her stay. I knew Daisy was in good hands and it helped make my trip so much more enjoyable knowing she was safe and well cared for. I’ll be booking again soon.”
“Rachael did an awesome job watching our dog Daphne for 2 weeks while we were away for the holidays! She did activities with the dogs every day including taking them on hikes, playing with toys, and running on her huge farm. I never worried about Daphne the whole time we were gone because Rachael took great care of her and sent photos and videos of her everyday to keep us updated! Rachael is the best!”
“She did a wonderful job watching Maxx. He's very skittish around new people but Christina and her family were wonderful, he wasn't stressed out and the updates gave me peace of mind knowing Maxx was with people who cared for him.”
“Catherine was wonderful with Josie, she attended to every one of her needs and treated her like the true diva that she is! She gave her her drops, her eye drops three times a day on schedule, sent me pictures and videos. I was hoping Josie would a still wanna come home with me and not stay with Catherine.!!!Sue w.”
“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.”
“Irene is wonderful! Easy to communicate and coordinate with. I felt at ease knowing our little guy was in good hands. He came back happy and healthy. I’d definitely recommend!”

Cat caregivers near you - Georgetown
About: I’ve cared for cats for years and genuinely enjoy getting to know each one’s personality. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’m patient and attentive to their needs. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving medication if needed. I understand how important it is to feel confident while you’re away, so I provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication. My goal is to keep your cat comfortable, safe, and stress-free in their own environment.
“Alex was absolutely amazing with my cat, Obake! From the moment we did a meet and greet, I felt completely at ease knowing Obake was in great hands. Alex was incredibly reliable, communicative, and thoughtful—she sent regular updates and photos that showed just how comfortable and happy Obake was while I was away. It’s clear Alex truly loves and understands cats, and Obake adored her in return. I came home to a relaxed, well-cared-for kitty and a spotless home. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend Alex to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate!”
“I had an excellent experience with Cam, who took care of my 2 cats and 2 bunnies while I went on a brief vacation. Cam is reliable and attentive and updated me after each visit with notes and pictures. My pets were happy and relaxed when I returned and my house was spotless. I would definitely rebook with Cam!”
“Nicky was great with our two large dogs. The older one, 10, has always been very suspicious of new people, but Nicky cracked the code! Definitely a true dog lover. We will definitely use her services again when needed.”
“Erin was so great! Super honest & went above and beyond to help me out while I was out of town. She also was very honest about the timeframes and made sure to fulfill them - I was super impressed with her! Will definitely use again!”
About: I've taken care of, owned, and loved dogs and cats my entire life. My friends and family often rely on me to care for their pets. I have volunteered at a local pet shelter, cleaning, playing with, and feeding dogs of a wide range of ages and with various medical needs. I can provide excellent care for all kinds of pets, including senior animals. I'm active, organized, and ready to adapt to any pet need! I currently work part-time, so I have flexibility and time to care for pets! I'm available weekdays or weekends from 9am-8pm. I can adjust my schedule either ahead of time or on a touch-and-go basis to fit what works best for you. I can tailor my approach based on your pet's specific needs and your personal preferences. I have a large, grassy yard for pets to play in; I keep an extremely close watch on them when they are outside; I play with them too and make sure they have fun! I usually let them out multiple times a day for however long I can be out there with them. Indoors, I have cozy couches, bean bags, and dog beds for all pets. I have a variety of food and healthy/dental treats. I know of plenty of walking trails and dog parks near me.
“Was great to have such a lovely caretaker take care of my kitty while I had to travel. Came out before the scheduled time to meet my cat and the reliable communication was great peace of mind! Would recommend and will absolutely use again.”
About: I’ve spent years caring for pets of all kinds, from energetic puppies to shy cats and everything in between. I’m comfortable with any schedule your pet needs and I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I am currently a student so all of my days are flexible. The semester is almost over but next semester I only have class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I’m available for boarding during the week and weekends and everything else is flexible and able to fit into my schedule. There’s plenty of places for them to walk and play. They can easily be crated as well. Anything can be accommodated and done as needed.
“Anna took really great care of my cat. I can tell she has a genuine interest in the wellbeing of animals. She even sent a photo during her visit which put me at ease. Would definitely use again!”
“Jocelyn did a fantastic job with drop in visits for our cats Cacio and Pepe. She covered all their basic needs and favorite things on each visit. She even cleaned up when one of our cats got sick. Loved receiving photos each time she finished a check in! Would definitely book again in a heartbeat.”
“I am a new Rover user and was nervous about entrusting my 8-month-old puppy to someone I didn't know. But Samantha exceeded expectations in many ways! She clearly loves dogs and was excited to meet my Yogi. She gave him a wonderful walk, made sure he had plenty of water, and even adjusted her schedule to meet our preferred timeline. Yogi was happy as a clam when we got home, and we are thrilled that we now have a reliable sitter to call for future needs.”
“Lanie saved us at the last minute when our usual sitter wasn’t available. She went above and beyond to communicate updates, accommodate special requests, and more. Thank you for the excellent care, Lanie!”

“We were visiting family in Norwalk, and Angela truly saved the day with her flexibility, availability, and quick response to our last-minute request. She was incredibly kind, understanding, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. Communication was excellent, and she always responded promptly. Her willingness to help made a stressful situation so much easier for our family, and we are incredibly grateful for all of her help during a difficult and unexpected time. We highly recommend Angela!”
“I wish there was a 10 Star Designation for Kyle! From our Meet/Greet til just coming home from picking up King, Kyle was above/beyond - My dog King felt comfortable immediately with him & at drop off he didn’t even look back and came home Pleasantly tired - Team Kyle Rocks!”
“Erin was amazing! Communication was top notch and we got so many pupdates throughout the day of our boy having a blast. We are new to the area and it brings us so much peace of mind to know our guy will be loved and well taken care of when we are out of town. I would 100% recommend Erin to anyone looking for a kind, knowledgeable, and trusted person to take care of their dog. We will be booking with Erin again in the future. Thank you so much again!”

Since we both work from home, your dog will always have company and plenty of opportunities for walks, play, and affection. We only board one dog at a time to make sure your furry friend receives our full attention. In addition to boarding, we also offer doggy day care. We believe in building trust with both you and your dog, so we like to meet new clients in advance.

We can’t wait to welcome your dog into our home and provide them with a fun, caring, and comfortable stay! Nothing makes us happier than seeing one of our guests excited to come for another visit. My husband and I work from home. I am an accountant and my husband is in the creative arts. We love having an excuse to step away from our desks, go outside and spend some time with our canine guests. We have a friendly old King Charles Spaniel that Can keep your dog company and we live on a beautiful secluded circle with almost no traffic for long safe walks.
“Nacho's been going to Elaine's regularly once or twice a week for the last six weeks and has an awesome time when he's there, as he can't wait to get inside her yard when we arrive. He gets along well with the other client pups and Elaine's pack. He really loves it there and it's really good for his social development.”
“We are so grateful to have found John to care for our puppy. It was difficult finding a daycare and sitter that would give our puppy the individualized attention and warmth needed and John, by far, made it so easy to completely trust and rely on him. Our puppy always has such a fun time with the other puppies and is always super excited to be there.”
“Val ( and family ) were absolutely amazing! We needed a last-minute booking for our dog, and she went above and beyond to accommodate us. Throughout the week, she sent lots of photos and videos, keeping us updated and reassured that our pup was happy and well cared for. It was clear she treated our dog like family, and we could tell how much love and attention she gave. We came home to a healthy, happy dog, and we’re so grateful for her exceptional care. Highly recommended, and we will absolutely use her again in the future!”
“Luke took care of Haru very well. He understands she needs a little more attention than adult dog, and made her happy. He sent her photos and she looked so relaxed. Highly recommended and I will book again for sure.”
About: I’ve taken care of so many dogs and cats over the years, at the vets office as a technician, in peoples homes and at my own house. I am comfortable administering medication and will care for your pet as my own ! I love animals and am passionate about caring for them . I have a flexible schedule so I can fit pet care into my routine. I am happy to do home visits multiple times a day. I have one very sweet little cavalier who gets along with other animals. I am also happy to come to your house as many times per day as needed.

“Lily is down to earth and I felt comfortable leaving my pups with her for the day. Her property is also nice for my pups to roam outside. I received photos and videos periodically throughout the day with updates on how my babies were doing. I will definitely book again!”
About: I grew up with dogs in the house and have always enjoyed playing with them. There was once that my dog had puppies and I remember seeing her giving birth and my parents caring for them. Today, I can’t have a dog in the house, so I enjoy caring for people’s dogs. My schedule varies so I’m available part-time some week days (Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday) and some weekends. I have older kids who also love animals and may tag along with me when they’re available. At home I don’t have pets of my own except for fish, so your dog will have full attention. I can also crate your dog if needed and if you’d like that, otherwise I’m comfortable letting it roam.
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.
“Anner came through for me! If it wasn’t for him I’d have to call out of work. I had a change of schedule which messed up my puppy’s schedule. I downloaded this app with hopes of someone responding back to me quickly and Anner did just that. Everything was so professionally done. Top tier communication. I was able to receive photos and videos during the day. I was so happy. Book Anner you won’t be disappointed”
“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: 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.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Georgetown
About: I have experience caring for a variety of animals but the bulk of my experience has been with dogs. I have carred for dogs of many different breads, ages-including puppies and senior dogs, and needs and I love them all. I am very outdoorsy, and an avid hiker, so if you have a dog who loves the woods and needs a good hike, I'm your gal! In addition to dogs, I am experienced with cats, rabbits, and other small animals. I am currently offering dog walking and pet care services as my primary job. In between taking care of animals I like to spend my free time staying active, spending time with my family, and working on creative projects. In addition to weekly dog walks, I offer the options of both overnight pet and house siting as well as drop in visits. The type of visit is dependent upon the animal and owner's needs. I provide loving attention, a consistent schedule, and lots of play time.
About: I've grown up with a variety of animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, and farm animals. Although I've only pet sit a little, I'm very comfortable with all kinds of dogs and cats. I'm currently working 2 part-time jobs as a barista, however I'm super flexible as my work schedule changes from week to week. Besides that I like to go to the gym and spend time with my chickens as much as I can. Around that I still have plenty of free time to start pet sitting. I love spending time and playing with pets, so a lot of what I would do is keep your pet company and engage with them as much as I can. With dogs I would play fetch outside if possible and with cats I would run them around with whatever toys they have. As well as, making sure the animals have enough food / water and keeping their home as clean as possible.
About: Hi there! We’re Jake and Maria, a husband-and-wife team of lifelong dog owners and registered nurses. We’ve both spent our entire lives around dogs of all breeds and personalities — from energetic puppies to mellow seniors. As nurses, we’re detail-oriented, reliable, and calm under pressure — qualities that carry over perfectly into pet care. Whether your dog needs a walking buddy, or just some extra love and attention while you’re away, we’ll treat them like one of our own. We currently are the pet parents to two very active and sweet rescue pups, Roy and Annabelle. We also have experience with caring for dogs with medical needs and senior care as our first dog together, Shawn, crossed over the rainbow bridge in the fall of 2024 after 11 years with us. Please note our overnight rate includes walks. While not available during weekdays, due to our work schedules, we would be happy to provide evening walks on weekdays, and overnight care and walking services on weekends, holidays, and school break time. We coordinate our shifts so that dogs are never left alone for long periods. This makes us a great fit for pets who prefer extra companionship or need more frequent potty breaks and attention. As lifelong dog owners and medical professionals, we bring both compassion and reliability to pet care. We know how important trust and communication are — we’ll send regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always our top priorities. We will be able to provide care directly in your home where your pet is most familiar and comfortable. We are also home owners ourselves and will be very respectful of your home and space.
About: I have been around dogs and cats my whole life. I currently have a puggle named Riggs who is almost 2. He is very friendly and loves other dogs. I also have a senior yellow lab named Bailey who is friendly as well. I work in the maritime industry as an engineer and have a lot of free time! I work in the maritime industry so I essentially work 6 months out of the year. I have a lot of free time so most days I’m available to care for a pet. I live in a cottage with a yard. I typically sit outside with my dog and watch him. I typically never let him outside alone and always have him in sight.
About: First time clients must schedule a meet and greet before their stay to make sure everything is a good fit. Let me know frequency of eating, potty breaks and allergies. I have had and cared for a dogs almost all my life. They ranged in all size, age and types. I am currently working from home, so I am around all day to let them out in to play or potty breaks when needed. I will feed them in the morning and evening. If need different schedule, just let me know. I have a large yard for them to run around in. They are always under my supervision for plenty of attention, & love during the day.

“Katherine was quick to respond and thoughtful to meet my dog prior to hire. She was caring and also knowledgeable. My dog warmed up to her. She was on time and communication was great.”
About: I have had a dog since I was in the 5th grade and have helped raise it since. Within the past 2 years, I took her to college with me for a month each year and had the best time with her. My former college roommate also got a puppy sophomore year (I lived with her sophomore-senior year), so I have helped raise him, and also watch/take care of him when my roommate is busy. My neighbors have also relied on me to take care of their dog when they are away. I really want to get more professional experience in handling dogs more so I'm able to work at dog and animal shelters/places! Currently, I’m completely available in the summer! I begin graduate school in September, but have no time constraints in the meanwhile, asides from when I’m away. In my home, I treat my pet like she's my child/baby and make sure that all of her needs are met always. I will do the same for my client's pets, as well as making sure the home is treated with the utmost respect. I truly love animals and would be happy to care for any dog.
“Today was Lanie’s first time walking our pups. After our initial meet and greet yesterday, I felt very comfortable and confident that she provides thoughtful care of the pets she cares for. She accommodated a 30 minute shift in plans, and spent a good amount of time with the boys. They were both very calm and content when I got home. Thank you!”
“Anna has given care to our beloved dog on 2 occasions with 5 walks. She has provided him with exceptional attention and love. Our dog is 13+ years old and we are always sensitive about his health- we don't have to worry about that with Anna at his side. Is there any greater piece of mind than that?”
About: For the past three years, I’ve volunteered at a local animal shelter with my mother. I completed my senior internship there and now volunteer on my own. In my time at the shelter, I’ve gained lots of dog walking experience, especially with young puppies. I’m familiar with shelter training techniques and with cleaning and sanitation. I have two dogs of my own, one of which is a difficult walker. I know how most types of dog harnesses work. My internship involved spending time in the cat room, during which time I worked with cats of all temperaments. I don’t currently work in an official capacity and don’t play any sports, so I’m free pretty much all the time aside from my volunteer work. I’m used to animals with a wide range of play styles. I have a dog that loves to play fetch and go for swims, and I live near a large trail system, so I’m most familiar with those forms of enrichment. I have a minivan and can drive dogs to dog parks, trails, and fields.
About: Fair warning: Pets are a little spoiled in my house! 😊 I've cared for animals my entire life and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've cared for my own senior dog throughout her final years, large and small breed dogs, rescue kittens, and adult cats, including raising my own two cats since they were kittens. I've trained all of my own pets and understand the importance of consistency. If your pet has specific routines, commands, or training practices you'd like maintained, I'm happy to follow them closely so their progress and structure continue seamlessly while they're in my care. I have a genuine soft spot for animals, and every pet in my care receives the highest quality treatment. Whether your furry friend enjoys treats, walks, playtime, or cuddles, they'll receive plenty of love, attention, and personalized care and are sure to have a great time while you're away. The day is dedicated to taking care of the fur babies. I'm available 7 days for check-ins, walks, home visits, and boarding. Let's connect and set up a time! My home is a relaxed space for cats or dogs to roam freely. My community offers a fenced in dog park and in my unit I have plenty of vertical space for your cat to rule over, including 2 cat towers and plenty of enrichment toys. I also have a catio on my balcony for some fresh air. If needed, I will separate my cats from more reactive animals while in my care.
About: With over 6 years of experience working in veterinary hospitals and over 10 years of caring for pets, your babies will be in great hands. I have 2 large dogs, 3 cats, and a snake! I have also fostered various other individuals over the years (including a mama with 7 kittens and a geriatric pitbull.) I am experienced in administering medication, as well as basic injections such as VetSulin. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to reach out! I hope to meet you and your fur (or furless) babies soon! I just moved to Ridgefield from Orlando, so my schedule is completely open for your pet care needs! I have 2 dogs and 3 cats of my own, and am excited to add your pets routine into my schedule. I am happy to stay the whole day at your home or make multiple visits throughout the day. Whichever is preferred! I will follow your care instructions meticulously, and I provide regular updates.

“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!”
“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!!”
“Tenley and Boedi came home so tired, they must've had so much fun! Claudia kept us updated and sent photos and was attentive to our Furbabies' needs. It's great to have a sitter close to home!”
“Dew is the most kind, und loves my dog like he belongs to her. I am so relieved he is with her as I am in bed with a broken ankle. I know he is so well loved and taken care of.”
About: Often called the dog whisperer of my family, I take the time to care for pets and build a connection that is almost instantaneous! I have been the main caretaker for my dogs for a lot of my life, so I have experience with puppies to senior dogs! I also have experience with cats and am prepared to assist your fur children with whatever they need! My schedule is flexible as I’m a new grad, so I am adaptable to what your pets need. I never take dogs off leash outside of the home. Right before I walk them outside, I put on the leash and make sure they are fully secured to their harness or collar! When I walk into the home, I greet the furry friends, provide a treat, and get to know them before we head out. Once we’re back, I either put them back in their crate if requested or make sure they’re all set up for the rest of the day. I’m currently a new grad, and currently looking to start my career while I work part-time. My schedule at this time is pretty open, so multiple times of the day are available! I have 3 friendly terriers that are excited to meet your pup if that’s preferred. I am able to take your pup on walks at their favorite trail/park or in their home space! I can crate your dog if needed, or get them set up with food, water, whatever they need until you’re home!
“Kyle was very welcoming, easy to meet/talk to, thorough in his overview of services, and happy to answer all of our questions. He’s clearly a dog lover and was willing to accommodate any special needs of our dog. He sent photos and updates along the way as well, which was much appreciated. He took great care of our pup. Thanks, Kyle!”
“Daisy lived her overnight stay with Saori. She came home happy and super relaxed. I loved getting photo updates throughout her stay. I knew Daisy was in good hands and it helped make my trip so much more enjoyable knowing she was safe and well cared for. I’ll be booking again soon.”
“Rachael did an awesome job watching our dog Daphne for 2 weeks while we were away for the holidays! She did activities with the dogs every day including taking them on hikes, playing with toys, and running on her huge farm. I never worried about Daphne the whole time we were gone because Rachael took great care of her and sent photos and videos of her everyday to keep us updated! Rachael is the best!”
“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.”
“Michele was awesome. She’s super friendly and made me feel very comfortable about caring for Hershey. When she was watching him she sent me pictures periodically to let me know that all was well. We will definitely reach out to Michele in the future!!”
“Charlotte was amazing and we will absolutely use her again! Our older boy had a bunch of different medicines to take at different points throughout the day and she was so organized and great with communication. She even went out to multiple stores to find the right low fat wet food he ran out of! Thank you Charlotte!”
“This is our second time using Judy and first time with a second dog! This was a trial run for our new dog who is very nervous and shy and by the second day she was showing her belly to Judy! She did great with both of them and provided plenty of updates. We hope Judy will watch our pups as long as she'll have us (:”
“Rich was great with both our boys! Our plans had to change last minute and Rich was more than willing to accommodate us. The boys had the time of their lives and we felt very comfortable with them being with Rich. We would recommend Rich to anyone.”
“Manolo had a great time at Elaine’s. Both Elaine and her puppies were very welcoming and he felt at home from the start. I would recommend Elaine’s doggie daycare to friends and family. Elaine can also groom your pup, which is very convenient. Thanks Elaine, see you soon!”
“Our golden retriever stayed for 8 days with Diana and was so happy that he did not want to leave to come home. He was cuddled and loved by the whole family all the time. He became a part of their family. Diana kept me up to date with daily photos which we loved. Highly recommend.”
“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!”
