They treated our dogs like their own and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for pet services. We would trust them again in the future without hesitation”
About: I have a 13 year old dog so i understand the patience it takes to care for animals. I am attentive and loves to play. My schedule is pretty flexible so I am able to check in with the animal frequently. I am able to check in throughout the day I have a dog who is friendly and playful with others. He’s good at walking with other pets. When visiting clients i want to follow their rules and treat their pets like they were my own.
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Christle! From the moment I met her, I fell in love with her beautiful yard and her sweet dogs — it’s truly a dog paradise. I have a very anxious pup with lots of different triggers, and Christle was amazing at helping me feel at ease. Over the two weeks my dog stayed with her, she sent updates and reassured me that my fur baby was doing great and adapting well — which really speaks to her and her family’s incredible patience and care. I am almost at disbelief with how well my dog was doing in her home! It was so clear that she treated my dog like one of her own — she completely spoiled her in the best way possible! From providing cuddles to sharing her canned food with my dog, it is clear that Christle is passionate about going above and beyond the dogs who come through her home. It was such a relief to know my pup was in such loving hands. I’ll 100% be booking with Christle again — she’s the best! 🐾”
“Austin was fantastic about communicating both before and during our dog’s stay. He was great with her medications and making sure she was taken care of so we didn’t have to worry about her. She was one of the family while she was there. She’ll definitely be back”
“Ifan is the best seater we've ever had. He took good care of our baby Toshi. We have found our person to care for dog in our absence. We love the regular updates and pictures and he is very affordable for the care he provides.”
“I believe my dog had a good time thank you so much again. He is an amazing sitter and your dog will be in great care. Just don’t book him when I need him 😂. Honest guy and loves what he does.”
“So thankful for Elise and her family! Our sweet boy had a great overnight stay - Elise was incredibly accommodating and sent us a few updates during our his stay. Thanks again!”
“Allison was exceptional. She took wonderful care of my little pal, and provided helpful updates with fantastic pictures/movies. We were able to relax and enjoy our time away!”
About: I have taken care of other peoples pets since I was a kid. People would trust me to house/pet sit while they were away. I also love to love animals! I work per diem as an x-ray technologist and am looking to give my love to animals as well! I want to be able to have a pet of my own one day, but loving yours is just as special. I have an apartment with lots of places to go for walks! There is a ton of grass space as well as sidewalks to roam.
“Morgan was super helpful when I needed a sitter on my road trip! She was so good with Molly and helped out extra since Molly wasn’t feeling the best on my trip and eating irregularly”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8, from watching relatives dogs to neighbors across the street. I personally have two large German Shepards in Connecticut. I’ve volunteered at MSPCA in Boston and worked with puppies there. I’m very patient with dogs of all ages and activity levels! I am available all day! I am home for the summer after graduating college, so I have a lot of availability during the week and weekends! I have a very large living room with plenty of space for animals! I also have a large yard for them to walk around and love going on walks with dogs.
“My pup is very hyper and energetic and Alexis did an amazing job. It is clear she is experienced and well rounded with the ability to manage any dogs behaviors. She was very communicative and sent pictures, updates, and was very responsive through my pups stay. I definitely recommend Alexis as a sitter! My pup stayed with her for 4 days 3 nights.”

“This was our first time in our new area we used Rover to watch our cat, Mina. Rachel responded right away to our request to check in on her while we were away and so happy she did! Mina is VERY social so gets anxiety if we leave her too long so wanted someone to just check in she was ok and spend time with her. Rachel was always positive and volunteered to play with Mina and clean her liter box. She even sweeped up the fluff my dog pulled out of her bedding, that we spaced to do before leaving. This really showed she was thinking of Mina as she wanted to make sure it wasn't anything she would get into. I appreciated her attention to detail and always sending photos of our sweet girl. If there were any changes she was very responsive and accommodating. We look forward to having Rachel watch Mina in the future for our next trip! Would definitely recommend her!”
“Patricia was amazing! Super easy and flexible to work with, from a met and greet ahead of time to daily photos and communications, I could tell my ‘fleet of felines’ were in good hands. She was professional, kind, and attentive - I honestly could not have asked for more. Simply outstanding!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Dana is very detail oriented and responsible. My kitty loved her too. i went out of town unexpectedly and Dana was able to help last minute. We used the video chat feature to explain Bali’s needs and logistics and i sent pictures. Dana sent pictures specifically showing me how she was exactly followed instructions and showing Bali was content and eating well. Bali has kidney disease and so there were many very detailed instructions. I will definitely ask Dana to help again and recommend to my friends.”
“Lauren is amazing! She's meticulous and joyful with my dog Madeleine. Such a relief when I am away at work to known Lauren is coming to walk my girl and that Madeleine will have such a great day with her.”
About: My family got a chocolate lab when I was 8 & I have had pets ever since. I am a part time nanny of 2 boys, 5 & 9. I cared for their elderly dog of 15 along with them for the last year of his life. I am very patient & gentle, I do not yell or get overly upset with children or animals. At the end of their dog Madden’s life he had a lot of accidents & emotional needs. Cleaning up after him & taking care of him never bothered me. It made me happy to give him comfort & nurturing, especially at the very end when he wasn’t feeling very well. I cared for my family dog similarly when he was at the end of his life. I had my first personal pet Cornica the cat (pictured with the corn toy lol) for 9 happy years. She unfortunately passed in 2024 from a severe hyper thyroid issue that came on very suddenly. Putting her down was the hardest most painful decision of my life but it was what was best for her. 2 months later I rescued my two sister cats Ice Cream & Sundae from a local cat shelter. They are such wonderful good girls & I am so blessed to have them. We all love each other very much. My sister’s dog who I have cared for many time has allergies so I have experience in providing both medication & supplements to dogs. I also have experience with providing medication & supplements to cats as I mentioned Cornica had a thyroid issue & I give my current cats preventative vitamins. I love all types of animals including those seen as scary such as tarantulas, reptiles & snakes. As you can see I have my cousin’s snake on my head in one photo. I even like bugs & do not kill them. I added the photo of me with the dolphin just because it was such an amazing experience & dream of mine I was able to achieve. I work part time as a nanny on a rotating schedule, so I either work Monday & Wednesday during the week or Tuesday & Thursday. Weekends I am always free. Fridays I do work for my side business, I am a professional psychic for the last 6 years. I am very gentle, patient & cautious with my cats & other people’s animals. After my first cat passed from being sick so suddenly I am extremely proactive & even a bit hyper vigilant to make sure everyone is happy & healthy. I am very tapped into their usual behaviors & personalities to be quick to notice any deviations. I have lots of toys, scratch posts & comfy places for my ‘beans’. We play & cuddle all the time. Vet & nurses comment on what good, sweet girls they are. I make sure they get plenty of open window & enrichment time as well. I keep very clean litter boxes too to encourage great bathroom behavior & comfortability for them.
“Sammy watched my dog Brody for a week. She showed up each day on-time and provided pictures and texts. I really felt like she did a good job with him as he can be difficult to warm up to people when we aren’t there. I would definitely recommend her and use her again!”

“Linda was wonderful. She was attentive to my cat’s super particular routine. And left my home cleaner than how it was before my trip. Im an anxious mom and she gave me regular updates throughout the day. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my cat.”
“Elizabeth was great!! It was our first time using her services and we were very pleased. She texted us every day to let us know how our kitties were doing. We would definitely use her services again.”
About: I grew up in a house that usually had 4 to 15 pups. My mom worked with a rescue so from a young age I have had experience working with all types of dogs. I have watched my family members dogs and currently have a new puppy at home who I help train. I work from home during the week and I have plenty of flexibility and time to commit to your pet! We will enjoy walks and playtime, and of course cuddles. As a care taker of your pet at your home I am ready and able to take precautions or crate your dog if that is something you do. I am a very reliable and trustworthy person and will do my best to love and take care of your pup as much as I would mine.
“Nick was a life saver on short notice. He took care of our animals and left our house even cleaner than he found it. Titus was very happy when I got home and we plan on having Nick sit for us whenever he’s available.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Rockville
“Lauren is fantastic. She’s dependable, clearly loves dogs, and takes great care of them at daycare. My pup always comes home happy and tired from a great day. Highly recommend.”
“Blue had a wonderful time playing in Betsabeth’s amazing backyard. She truly took care of him as if he were her own, and it was such a comfort to find someone I can trust with my boy for overnight stays. I couldn’t be happier with the experience.”
“Kristen- Such a blessing to have found you for my baby girl! Thank you so much! I don’t want to write the beyond-glowing review you so deserve because Kahlua (not me 😇😉) wants to keep you all to herself!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats of all sorts and sizes since I was a kid, and love playing with them. One of the requirements for our current home was to have a big yard so our boys could run free! I work from home and create my own schedule, and am an introvert so I’m almost always at my home unless I’m running an errand. This means I’ll always be here to take care of your animal and take them for walks, bathroom breaks, or play time. I have a big (unfenced) private back yard far away from any neighbors. I have two doodle’s who love to play with other dogs and two cats who will probably hide the whole time. Your pet will spend most of their time with me while I’m in my office or doing chores around the house, then the rest of the time playing with me and (optionally) my two dogs in our yard. My two doodles love other dogs and are non-aggressive, but if there are any issues I am happy to separate them. I used to train dogs in another life so I know how to handle and care for dogs.
“Ricky was great and seemed to really care for Leela - we had never met and yet I felt comfortable leaving her with him while I attended a memorial service. Leela seemed happy when I picker her up.”
“Lindi rocks the dog day care! I love that it is just her dog and my dogs. This trip was to introduce the new puppy all around. It is great to have all of the dogs and people comfortable. Lindi did great getting the pup settled right in!”
“Renata is so wonderful! She is quick with communication, super sweet, and takes such great pictures during the day. Gracie is so so happy after spending the day with her and Forest. She treats my pup like her own!”
“Moose and our family absolutely adore Janelle and her kids! A very cozy, clean and comforting home for play, sleep and everything you may need for your pup for their stay! This was our first weekend at daycare and Moose is so excited every time we arrive and doesn’t even want to leave! We are so happy we found the perfect fit!”
“Very friendly, caring, and knowledgeable of pets. Gave a report at time of pick up of how he did, any problems that arose, and suggestion they could help if need be. My pup is hyper so her fenced in yard was perfect. He was happy and relaxed at pick up. Would I use her again? Absolutely, yes. He felt safe with her and that is what we want when leaving out pets!”
“Although it was my pup’s first time & she was super anxious, Allison was very patient with her & made her feel comfortable during her visit. She sends frequent updates & is very pleasant to talk to. Definitely recommend!”
“Christle listened to my concerns and was very reassuring. She gave me the confidence to leave my pup with her and took great care of him. She provided me updates and pics which reassured me. I will use her again.”
“Beshoy and Lisa were fantastic sitters for my puppy! They were responsive, attentive, and friendly. They also have a doodle who was the absolute best playmate for my puppy. An added bonus. I’d definitely recommend them!”

“My girls absolutely love going to Rebecca’s! And I love that they get it all with her. I got to see them enjoying their day while I was at work, then they were too tired to try to jump on me when I walked through the door. Perfection again!”
About: I've had dogs for the past 19 years, mainly pitbulls and mastiffs. But I worked in a doggy day care in the past and have experience with all types of dogs even cats.

I currently work third shift 3 nights a week but have someone home on those nights. So your pets will never be alone . I also have 3 children who enjoy helping so it has become part of daily routine to do feedings and walks. I treat your pets like family, I usually request a crate for them so they have a familiar safe space in case they get overwhelmed but otherwise they free roam. I follow whatever schedule you follow at home. So if you allow your fur babies on the couch so will I. But if not I respect that and follow that as well. So it really is treating your babies like ours. I’m an early riser, so early morning feedings and walks are easy to fit into my routine. My work schedule can vary so I can be flexible with walks. I treat your animals as my own, while still following your household rules for them. I do request a crate during stays so your pets have a safe space they can feel comfortable in.
About: I’ve been around animals ever since I was born. I live on a farm and have been taking care of different animals as long as I can remember.

I also have a wonderful dog who is extremely friendly and slightly shy/awkward. Whatever enrichment your animal needs, I will do everything in my power to provide.

If you’re looking for someone to trust with your precious four legged family members, I can’t recommend her enough!!”
“Dana is AWESOME! She is very thorough and loving walker. 10/10 would recommend her to walk your pup. She met with us before she started walking my pup, and my Ollie loved her instantly, and so did we!! She took notes on everything we told her about our pupper. She’s extremely experienced and gives a full report after each walk. Thank you so much Dana! You have made our days so much easier by helping out with our little boy!!”

About: I’ve loved animals since I was young, always being known to be the person who asks “Can I pet your dog?”. Having grown up living with and partially helping to train my grandparent’s standard poodle puppy at age 9, I knew then that I wanted animals in my life forever. Through the years I’ve done fundraisers for local shelters, looked after and groomed family dogs, given pet care advice, and for the last four years have worked professionally as a kennel attendant. My job has always been a joy to me, and despite its stresses I always tell people that caring for animals is the best job I could ever ask for. I’ve been able to meet and work with pets of all different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and abilities; from blind/deaf dogs, senior dogs, aggressive dogs, puppies/kittens, diabetic dogs and cats, and so many more. Each of them provides an invaluable experiences that teaches me patience, compassion, and communication. I’m now the proud owner of a 11 month old cat, Balrog, and of a 13 year old chihuahua, Mia. Though I am a full time student and a part time kennel attendant, I am able to be more flexible with my schedule over summer break. My current availability is as follows, Monday: Unavailable Tuesday: All day Wednesday: All day Thursday: All day Friday: All day Saturday: All day Sunday: Unavailable While I do not have any space in my home to keep animals at the moment, in a clients home I am happy to play with pets, let them out or go on walks, crate if desired, clean up any possible mess, and overall act as a safe and friendly part of a pet’s environment in any way possible.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, bunnies, fish, and guinea pigs since around age 11. Neighbors and family trust me to walk, feed, cuddle and play with any fur babies. I am currently a full time college student on summer break until late August. I am currently working part-time at a job with flexible hours, so I am able to work around certain request times. I am comfortable cuddling and playing with your animals inside or outside the home! I will crate animals if requested. I am highly communicative and will send updates/pictures from the visit/sitting. The more the merrier!
About: I've been taking care of dogs for about 13 years for friends and family; 2 of those years have been 12 foster dogs through the American Lab Rescue.

I will take the time to teach your dog basic commands, pick up after them and give them lots of treats and love.
About: I've been blessed to grow up with a pet best friend my entire life whether from dogs & cats to hamsters, guinea pigs, and parakeets. My wife and I will treat your pet as it is our own!

We also have a rescued 1yr old goldendoodle who is neutered and loves other dogs. Your pet will never feel alone! While safety is our top priority, your pet's happiness and care is just as important. We live in a 3-story townhouse with an unfenced yard but live across the street from a park where we take our dog on daily walks.

All I can promise is that you shall not regret working with me! I work from home remotely for my day job, which affords me plenty of spare time to spend with your fur babies!

About: I had a whole slew of my own animals at home from horses to little snakes and everything in between. I absolutely love working and volunteering with all ages of dogs and cats, I personally have dealt with and endless amount of fresh babies and end of life care seniors. I’m open to whatever they throw at me, that’s the best part! I’ve worked with aggressors, muzzled sweetie pies, and the dopiest pups all over. Let me learn their personality and I’ll tailor myself to whatever they need! I come home to my mini zoo every day! I do long walks, yoga with the kitties, exciting feeding times, and lots of chilling out in the barn or on the couch, whichever lil friend needs the most. I spend all my time with shelter animals if I’m not at home, or if I’m at work I’ll be scrolling on Petfinder seeing what I can manage and provide for LOL Id love to use the term “gentle paw-renting,” but honestly it can be chaotic at times and you just have to go with the flow! I prefer to be chilled out with your little babies and just shower all the love, but if they need to go run around the block and rip some cardboard up, let’s do it and I’ll make sure your home is just as it was prior to my visit :) you deserve stress free and they deserve a nourishing and fun filled day!

I first started watching friends' dogs in 2001, then moved on to house-sitting cats and dogs. I have great experience taking care of pups and love taking them on long walks, trips to the park, the beach, and places alike. And there's always time for some positive reinforcement! I am always willing to work on some training with your pup if you request. I have a 6-year-old love bug Cavapoo named Beau who is the light of my life! Feel free to contact me and discuss your needs, desires, and any questions! Fun Awaits! As of June 14 I am free to book between 9a-5pm. I walk my dog on the trails every single day after work and we enjoy it! I will not be taking care of any dogs at my home at this time. If this changes I will update the profile as soon as possible. I do not stay over night but I will stay until bed time and return in the AM.

“Absolutely outstanding care for our pup! We will be using Kristin again in the future. She was communicative, kind, nurturing and treated our Sadie girl like her own. Beyond happy with the service she provided us!”
“Betsabeth is great with Grizzy. We don’t worry that he won’t get played with or cared for when she’s watching him. She also is accommodating to our pickup/dropoff schedules. Highly recommend!”
“Kristin and her family took great care of Grady! Her pictures and videos gave us peace of mind that he was doing well. We sure did miss him, but he received much love and play! He was tired!!! Thank you again for all you did!”
“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.”
“Patrick and Susan provide a 10/10 service. They took our dogs on fun walks every day. Took plenty of photos to send with comprehensive daily updates. They treated our dogs like their own and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for pet services. We would trust them again in the future without hesitation”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Christle! From the moment I met her, I fell in love with her beautiful yard and her sweet dogs — it’s truly a dog paradise. I have a very anxious pup with lots of different triggers, and Christle was amazing at helping me feel at ease. Over the two weeks my dog stayed with her, she sent updates and reassured me that my fur baby was doing great and adapting well — which really speaks to her and her family’s incredible patience and care. I am almost at disbelief with how well my dog was doing in her home! It was so clear that she treated my dog like one of her own — she completely spoiled her in the best way possible! From providing cuddles to sharing her canned food with my dog, it is clear that Christle is passionate about going above and beyond the dogs who come through her home. It was such a relief to know my pup was in such loving hands. I’ll 100% be booking with Christle again — she’s the best! 🐾”
“This was our dog's first stay with Alan and Luis and we already booked another visit for this summer. They were so nice, responsive, accommodating and communicative - quick responses, sending updates and photos, etc. Laney seemed in great spirits when we picked her up. We are so happy to have found this lovely place!”
“Austin was fantastic about communicating both before and during our dog’s stay. He was great with her medications and making sure she was taken care of so we didn’t have to worry about her. She was one of the family while she was there. She’ll definitely be back”
“Patty took such good care of Sadie during Sadie's time with her. Followed Sadie's routine very well, communicated with us many times and I would highly recommend her to anyone else who is considering boarding their dog in the future. This is the beginning of a wonderful dog sitting relationship. (and a shout out to her son, Peter, for bonding with Sadie!) Thanks so such Patty.”
“Ifan is the best seater we've ever had. He took good care of our baby Toshi. We have found our person to care for dog in our absence. We love the regular updates and pictures and he is very affordable for the care he provides.”
“I believe my dog had a good time thank you so much again. He is an amazing sitter and your dog will be in great care. Just don’t book him when I need him 😂. Honest guy and loves what he does.”
“Allison was exceptional. She took wonderful care of my little pal, and provided helpful updates with fantastic pictures/movies. We were able to relax and enjoy our time away!”
About: I have taken care of other peoples pets since I was a kid. People would trust me to house/pet sit while they were away. I also love to love animals! I work per diem as an x-ray technologist and am looking to give my love to animals as well! I want to be able to have a pet of my own one day, but loving yours is just as special. I have an apartment with lots of places to go for walks! There is a ton of grass space as well as sidewalks to roam.
“Morgan was super helpful when I needed a sitter on my road trip! She was so good with Molly and helped out extra since Molly wasn’t feeling the best on my trip and eating irregularly”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8, from watching relatives dogs to neighbors across the street. I personally have two large German Shepards in Connecticut. I’ve volunteered at MSPCA in Boston and worked with puppies there. I’m very patient with dogs of all ages and activity levels! I am available all day! I am home for the summer after graduating college, so I have a lot of availability during the week and weekends! I have a very large living room with plenty of space for animals! I also have a large yard for them to walk around and love going on walks with dogs.
