“Pam was great. She posted a lot of pictures to let us know Luna was having fun and communicated daily. You could tell she had a lot of experience with dogs and with petting sitting/boarding. We would definitely use Pam again for the next time we go out of town.”
“Saori was great. Our one year old lab was in heaven at their place. We received a puppy that was well cared for and had gotten a lot of socialization and exercise is a safe environment.”
“Jess and Ian were wonderful with my two boys. They communicated with me while on vacation and it eased my mind to know they were ok. Wonderful and honest couple”
“I appreciated that Valerie offered a meet and greet prior to caring for our dog. It went very well and it was clear that she can be trusted with our dog that we love so much. She cared for our dog for a long weekend and was sure to send pics and detailed updates daily. We will definitely ask Valerie to watch our dog again in the future as she assured his safety and happiness while we were gone.”
“What a wonderful stay and experience! Hazard is super friendly and very detail oriented. She’s very responsive with communication as well. We had a meet and greet before hand and the first stay for my pups couldn’t have been better! My dogs really enjoyed their time at Hazard’s house. We received lots of photos and videos. And we loved the report card at the end of the day! Thank you! We have another booking set already!”
“She got really good care from this home doggie day care. It was really amazing to watch her thrive around the new friends she made at doggie daycare. Really great communication and lots of updates, pics, and videos while I was away. It seemed every time I started missing my little Chihuahua I got a pic. Great experience and would definitely rebook.”
“Words can not describe how thankful we are that we found Rich. We could not have asked for a better caregiver/sitter. We loved watching all the pictures and videos of our pup having the time of her life!! Now that we found Rich he is our #1 go to. Thank you so much Rich!! We hit the jackpot when we found you!”
“First time using Rachel C’s services and could not be more pleased. Rachel was helpful on the drop off and pick of our lab and she communicates everyday with great updates. Our lab Milo made some friends and seemed to really enjoy his time visiting at Rachel’s. Strong recommendation for your furry friends.”
“Robin is a lovely person who took excellent care of our dog. She kept us updated on everything and I could tell our dog was comfortable and relaxed when we returned. We will definitely be booking with Robin again!”
“We were extremely happy with our experience! Ryan was knowledgeable and attentive to our dog. We received many updates and pictures while we were away which we really appreciated. He was even willing to bathe him after a run in with a mud puddle. 😅 We’ll definitely be repeat customers.”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and grew up in a family that always had dogs. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. We currently have Bailey, our sweet and gentle Bernese Mountain Dog, as well as a Ragdoll cat, Jades who is also very much part of our family. I love spending time with animals, whether it’s going for walks, visiting the dog park, playing outside, or simply giving them plenty of attention and affection at home. I’m comfortable around dogs of different sizes and personalities and generally connect with them very easily. Our pets are treated like family, and I would care for your pet with the same patience, attention, and kindness I give my own. I work from home most days, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pet throughout the day. I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention and companionship. I’m also available on weekends and can be flexible based on your pet’s normal routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. We have a gentle and friendly Bernese Mountain Dog named Bailey and a Ragdoll cat at home, and our pets are truly part of our family. I always take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, feeding schedule, and individual needs. I provide plenty of supervision, attention, walks, playtime, and a loving, comfortable environment so your pet can feel at home while in my care.
“Nicole did a great job watching Libby! She was reliable, caring, and attentive, and it was clear that Libby was in good hands. I especially appreciated Nicole’s excellent communication throughout the time she was caring for Libby. She kept us updated and made the whole experience easy and worry-free. I would definitely recommend Nicole to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pet. We would be happy to have her watch Libby again!”
“Elizabeth was AMAZING with our dog Gracie, couldn't have asked for a better person to watch her. She kept us updated daily and took such good care of her Gracie didn't want to leave. Can't recommend her enough.”
“Bruce took great care of our dog. Chico had never been boarded and Bruce made sure we were comfortable by sending updates and pictures throughout each day. We would highly recommend Bruce!”
“We have booked 3 times (4th coming soon) with this lovely family and were thrilled with how much our Luna fell in love with them. Nadine, Daniel and Noah were the absolute best fit for us and our puppy. Luna received the attention she is used to, played ALOT, went on walks and quickly became a part of their family. We have used the daycare and dog sitting service with them. Very clean house, where Luna could roam and explore. I can not express my gratitude enough for this family and for them taking care of our Luna.”
“Christina was great with our Trixie. She was very attentive to her special needs and very understanding about our concerns leaving our dog for several days for the first time. She kept us informed how things were going and was great administering meds as needed. We have already requested to rebook. Christina has a lovely home and family. Your dog will be safe and well cared for with her.”
“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!”
“Loved Catherine! She took great care of Bear and it gave me peace of mind to know her house was safe, spotless, and dog friendly. I also liked that she only takes one client at a time to ensure full attention to my dog. 🫶🏽”

“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!!”
About: Hi, I'm Alessandra! Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I cared for everything from turtles, a bird, hamsters, guinea pigs, and rabbits to two Golden Retrievers. Today, I have a cat and Golden Retriever of my own, so I know firsthand just how much our pets are a part of the family. As a Rover-user myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust to care for your pet. I also know that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m always happy to tailor my care accordingly. I work remotely and am based in Newtown, which gives me a pretty flexible schedule for house sitting and/or walks and drop-ins throughout the day. I’m reliable, communicative, and mindful of the little things that make a big difference - following your routine and care instructions, respecting your home, keeping your pet comfortable & happy, and sending plenty of updates along the way. My goal is to make sure you feel just as comfortable with me caring for your pet as I’d want to feel with someone caring for mine! I’d love to meet you and your pet(s) — let’s chat and see if it’s a good fit! — Alessandra 🐾
“I was able to travel soundly knowing that my Loki was in good hands. She was super sweet when I asked her to continue caring for Loki after I missed my flight. Definitely would recommend!”
“Rachel is an absolutely fantastic cat sitter! We can truly relax and enjoy our time away knowing our cats are in such caring and capable hands. She is incredibly reliable, attentive, and treats them with so much love and care. It’s such a comfort to know they’re happy and well looked after while we’re gone. We highly, highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”
About: I have personal experience in owning both male and female cats, who were both indoor and outdoor cats. I’ve also cared for pregnant female cats. I understand their body language and behavior very well, and know when they need their space. I raised my current cat, Olive from 6 weeks old and have experience in bottle feeding kittens.
“Annmarie took care of our two cats while we were away for the holidays. She did a great job taking care of them, kept their litter boxes tidy, and was communicative and helpful throughout our time away. She helped us out by bringing in packages, alerting us to a beeping sound in our boiler room, and keeping our kitties cared for. We will definitely hire her again!”
“Anne was super easy to work with and did a great job checking in my cats while I was away! She sent pictures and even managed to coax out my anxious cat which I really did not expect at all. She did some playing with my friendlier girl and made sure all their needs were taken care of. I really appreciate having her stop in and I know that the next time I need a sitter I'll book Anne again! Thank you!”
“We are so grateful to have found Ian!!! Best ever! Our cat was calm and even after a long trip and away from her she was calm and happy and this is all due to Ian who gave her care and love going above and beyond his duties! An amazing young man, caring, professional, gentle and very conscientious! Highly recommend!!! Mihaela Weaver”

“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: I am an animal lover here to help! I grew up with animals, and have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I also owned ducks and chickens for several the years. I have many years experience with a variety of medical issues pertaining to dogs and cats, including allergies and epilepsy. I also have years of experience in dog and puppy training (not professionally), including adopting my own puppy 2 years ago. That same puppy is now approved and undergoing training to be a psychiatric service dog. My other 2 dogs are also well trained. Although we’re happy to take it easy, we also love to hike and would be happy to take your dog along! I work with animals full time and love it! My schedule changes based on the needs of my clients for that week, and I adjust as needed. My pets are my babies! I have a fenced in yard, with a dog door to access it. It does close, and can be kept closed during the day if needed as my dogs are extremely well trained, and also have the option to access to my home office (a separate building in the back yard) if needed. They have full range and free access to the downstairs, except we discourage them being in the kitchen. Our dogs are kept from the upstairs by a secured baby gate. They are allowed up there, just usually attended because the puppy sometimes confuses her human sisters toys for her own! We have a large property with a trail that we take our dogs up to, and also live very close to several hiking trails that we frequent. One of our dogs had to retire from long walks and hikes, so he stays home now, but he still loves a good car ride and a short easy walk!
“Isabelle was great with Jimmy! We just moved to the area and she was able to watch our dog for the day and she was great about sending updates and letting us know how he was doing.”
“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!”
“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!”
About: Dogs thrive on calm structure and that’s exactly what I provide. I create a controlled, low stress environment where dogs are calm, well managed, and set up for success. I’m a sitter with formal training in dog behavior, and I’m currently continuing my education through an accredited, science based training program. My approach goes beyond basic pet sitting, I focus on structure, clear boundaries, and reading behavior to prevent issues before they start. I specialize in dogs that need structure and guidance, whether that’s anxious dogs, easily overstimulated dogs, or dogs adjusting to a new environment. My focus is helping dogs stay calm, regulated, and comfortable, not just physically tired. Every dog is handled intentionally and with clear structure, not as part of a chaotic group setting. Pet care is my full-time work, so your dog’s routine becomes part of my routine. Meals, walks, rest, enrichment, and any training cues you already use are followed as consistently as possible. I keep things structured and predictable so dogs, especially anxious, reactive, or easily overstimulated ones, can settle in and feel secure. My home is structured, supervised, and calm, not a chaotic group setup or a free for all. Dogs are introduced thoughtfully, given clear boundaries, and supported with a predictable routine so they feel safe and secure. I tailor the environment to each dog, including decompression time, quiet space, and supervised social time only when appropriate. My focus is always on behavior, safety, and preventing overstimulation or unsafe situations. My approach is best suited for dogs who can follow structure and benefit from a calm, well-managed environment. I am not a good fit for dogs that rely on constant high energy group play or a completely unstructured routine.
About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, as well as horses and a wide variety of animals. I’m certified in Pet CPR and First Aid and have educational certifications in dog and pet training, including puppy training. I also have hands-on experience with senior dogs and dogs needing extra care. For years, family and friends have trusted me to board their dogs, knowing they’ll receive safe, attentive, and loving care. I work as a professional artist with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my time around your pet’s specific needs. This flexibility ensures I can provide plenty of dedicated attention, enrichment, playtime, and individualized care throughout the day. I have access to ample yard space and lead an active lifestyle, allowing me to comfortably meet the needs of dogs with all energy levels, including working dogs. I provide attentive, individualized care with frequent potty breaks, fresh water, proper feeding, and crate care when needed. I’m experienced in providing additional medical support if required and am certified in Pet CPR and First Aid. I’m also located close to a pet emergency hospital for added peace of mind. I currently have one service dog, who can either be kept separate or provide calm, dog-friendly companionship upon request.
About: I have 2 labs (1 lab German Shepard mix and 1 lab), who love to play and romp around, as well as the finer things in life like relaxation.My working schedule allows me to work from home full time, huge plus for the pups and kiddos. We travel about once a year for 2 weeks, and mostly spend our time in town as our boys do sports. I was a dog walker and sitter for 2 years in college, had a dog growing up as a child and I’ve rescued and adopted 5 pups with my husband. Since I'm use to the early mornings, walking the fur babies early is not a problem. I believe a tired dog is a happy dog and I try to make sure they get as much play time and attention as needed. Treating the fur babies as family members, means they have their beds, own couch, toys and free range in our house.
“Nicole was great with my dog Annie for our doggy day care trial run for a future Annie boarding. This is the first time that I've been away from my dog in quite some time and Nicole was equally great at easing my anxiety. Nicole has a natural presence around Annie and is solid in picking up her behavior and it was an overall nice and comfortable experience. Thank you!”
“Marina and David were wonderful hosts to our puppy for the day. They were very pleasant with us, as were their children. They hit it off from the first moment, and from every indication, our boy had a wonderful time with them. They listened to our concerns as new puppy parents and graciously set him up for success and us up for peace of mind. We would definitely use them again.”
“Moby had a great time! Thank you so much for being so caring and loving! We really appreciate the flexibility as well! We hope to bring Moby back to play with the girls soon! ~ Yuki & Jeremy”
About: I bring more than 30 years of professional experience caring for and working with animals. My work with dogs and chimps has earned international recognition and extensive press. I hold multiple degrees and professional certifications in animal related fields. I am an Animal Behaviorist, Primatologist, and certified in canine rehabilitation, first aid and CPR. I am the founder of a non profit that provides wheelchairs for rescue dogs. Aprile’s Memorial French Bulldogs Special Needs Support Services. I have been entrusted with the care of dogs for many prominent family and celebrities who value my deep love of dogs and devotion to treating every animal in my care with compassion, patience and understanding. My days are devoted entirely to caring for dogs and meeting their every need. I enjoy making them feel everyday is their Birthday! I make every day count for every dog I am blessed to care for. I have a rescue French Bulldog Mildred. I have had French Bulldogs for 30 years before they were the most popular breed. I have a very diverse skill set caring for dogs with special needs and behavioral issues. Working with the rescue and rehabilitation of animals as long as I have allows me to not only care for dogs basic needs when they stay in my care but also allows me to offer them extra support in understanding their individual personality and behaviors. I am world renowned for my work in Animal Rehabilitation- for dogs and chimps.

“We left Boone with Ryan for a few hours and boy did our boy came home sooooo exhausted! Ryan took him to the local dog park to run around and then he played with another pup at the house the rest of the night. Ryan’s communication is great, sharing videos and photos all throughout Boone’s stay. We’ll definitely keep Ryan in mind to watch our boy again in the future.”
“I am a first time dog mom and my Shih Tzu went to stay with them for the day last min and she was so nice.

Max loved them he was so happy & excited when he was me .The update videos and pictures reassured me that he was in great hands. Will be booking again very soon”
“Loretta kindly accepted a last minute booking for my two dogs. They showed none of their usual anxiety when I leave, and were calm and happy as clams when I picked them up. This is definitely a place where dogs feel welcome and at ease. I will not hesitate to call Loretta again.”
“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!”
“Michelle was very friendly and easy to reach. I got back a happy dog that got along well with Michelle and her family. It felt like I was leaving my dog to a friend’s house.”

“Zarah is so wonderful and caring! A true dog lover—perhaps dog whisperer—she communicates so well with our rescue Amstaff Aussie Cattle mix who can be stubborn. Hopper is very comfortable with Zarah and looks forward to spending time her. Thank you Rover for bringing Zarah to us!! And thank you Zarah for all that you do!!”
“We are so glad we found Amy to help us out with Luna. She is very diligent, responsible and great with timely communication. We will keep her in mind whenever we need a dog walker and would highly recommend her.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who can’t imagine life without dogs. My family has two dogs that I grew up with, and they’ve been such a huge part of my life. Over the past 8 years, I’ve cared for cats and dogs, both large and small breeds, giving me experience with a wide variety of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I truly believe dogs are one of the best things on earth. Their love, cuteness and personalities make every day better. While I can’t have a dog of my own right now due to where I live, caring for other people’s dogs gives me the opportunity to share that love and spend time doing something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a caring companion around, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry baby and treat them like one of my own! 🐾❤️ I have a very flexible schedule everyday. I have weekend, mornings, midday and nights available, so anytime you need I’ll be available. Week long pet sitting is also available. I have experience with large and small dogs both needing a crate and not. I love going on long walks, so if your baby needs a long engaging walk I am your person! I have experience with feeding wet and dry food, as well as giving liquid and pill medication!
“Rachel has been great with my dog Hazel. She is great at communicating and letting me know the little details of the visit beyond just the path and basic report. I feel confident that my dog is in good hands while I am at work.”
“Annmarie was wonderful! She was incredibly knowledgeable about dog behavior. My dog liked her so much that she brought Annmarie one of her favorite toys during our meet and greet. I would highly recommend her.”

My schedule varies week to week, but I’ll always communicate my availability upfront and make sure I can accommodate your pet’s needs before accepting a booking. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so my priority is making sure both you and your pet feel comfortable. I’ll take the time to understand their personality, routine, and needs, while paying attention to the little things (securing gates & doors, keeping items out of reach, etc.) that keep them safe and happy. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands and getting plenty of love and attention!
About: I am a semi retired veterinary assistant with nearly 20 years professional experience and a passion for caring for animals.

I'm happy to do whatever your pets need, whether they want to play, walk or just hang out. If they are a little shy and need time to get used to me is totally understandable, I will follow their cues. I will take my time to learn what they need and adapt to them. The goal is always to keep them as stress free as possible.

I am available for ongoing long-term set schedules as well as flexible schedules for pet sitting. My schedule allows me to check in morning, midday, and/or late afternoons/evenings.

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.

I will always make sure that it is a delicate process.
About: I’m reliable, communicative, and will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ve been around and caring for dogs for most of my life, including my own dog Max, who I got when I was 14 and truly consider my soul dog. He passed away in July 2025 from complications related to megaesophagus, but for a year and a half before that, I helped manage his condition after we were initially told he only had 30 days to live. That experience taught me so much about patience, consistency, and providing attentive, specialized care. Because of these experiences, I’m especially comfortable with dogs who may need extra patience, have medical needs, or experience anxiety. I work full-time during the week, but I’m always available for morning and evening visits, including feeding, walks, playtime, and general care. I’m off every other weekend, as well as some Mondays and Fridays, which gives me extra flexibility for longer visits or overnight stays. I’m also happy to accommodate overnight care when needed, so your pet can stick to their normal routine and feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and will make sure your pet gets consistent care and attention. In a client’s home, I aim to keep things as consistent as possible—following feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes or picking up after pets, and making sure they get plenty of attention and care. I also make sure your home is respected and kept tidy while you’re away. For overnight stays, I help maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable in their environment.

I truly appreciate her kindness and how wonderful she was with my puppy. I would definitely recommend her!🥹🩷🐶”

“Saori was great. Our one year old lab was in heaven at their place. We received a puppy that was well cared for and had gotten a lot of socialization and exercise is a safe environment.”
“I appreciated that Valerie offered a meet and greet prior to caring for our dog. It went very well and it was clear that she can be trusted with our dog that we love so much. She cared for our dog for a long weekend and was sure to send pics and detailed updates daily. We will definitely ask Valerie to watch our dog again in the future as she assured his safety and happiness while we were gone.”
“Words can not describe how thankful we are that we found Rich. We could not have asked for a better caregiver/sitter. We loved watching all the pictures and videos of our pup having the time of her life!! Now that we found Rich he is our #1 go to. Thank you so much Rich!! We hit the jackpot when we found you!”
“First time using Rachel C’s services and could not be more pleased. Rachel was helpful on the drop off and pick of our lab and she communicates everyday with great updates. Our lab Milo made some friends and seemed to really enjoy his time visiting at Rachel’s. Strong recommendation for your furry friends.”
“We were extremely happy with our experience! Ryan was knowledgeable and attentive to our dog. We received many updates and pictures while we were away which we really appreciated. He was even willing to bathe him after a run in with a mud puddle. 😅 We’ll definitely be repeat customers.”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and grew up in a family that always had dogs. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. We currently have Bailey, our sweet and gentle Bernese Mountain Dog, as well as a Ragdoll cat, Jades who is also very much part of our family. I love spending time with animals, whether it’s going for walks, visiting the dog park, playing outside, or simply giving them plenty of attention and affection at home. I’m comfortable around dogs of different sizes and personalities and generally connect with them very easily. Our pets are treated like family, and I would care for your pet with the same patience, attention, and kindness I give my own. I work from home most days, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pet throughout the day. I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention and companionship. I’m also available on weekends and can be flexible based on your pet’s normal routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. We have a gentle and friendly Bernese Mountain Dog named Bailey and a Ragdoll cat at home, and our pets are truly part of our family. I always take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, feeding schedule, and individual needs. I provide plenty of supervision, attention, walks, playtime, and a loving, comfortable environment so your pet can feel at home while in my care.
“Nicole did a great job watching Libby! She was reliable, caring, and attentive, and it was clear that Libby was in good hands. I especially appreciated Nicole’s excellent communication throughout the time she was caring for Libby. She kept us updated and made the whole experience easy and worry-free. I would definitely recommend Nicole to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pet. We would be happy to have her watch Libby again!”
“Elizabeth was AMAZING with our dog Gracie, couldn't have asked for a better person to watch her. She kept us updated daily and took such good care of her Gracie didn't want to leave. Can't recommend her enough.”
“Bruce took great care of our dog. Chico had never been boarded and Bruce made sure we were comfortable by sending updates and pictures throughout each day. We would highly recommend Bruce!”
“We have booked 3 times (4th coming soon) with this lovely family and were thrilled with how much our Luna fell in love with them. Nadine, Daniel and Noah were the absolute best fit for us and our puppy. Luna received the attention she is used to, played ALOT, went on walks and quickly became a part of their family. We have used the daycare and dog sitting service with them. Very clean house, where Luna could roam and explore. I can not express my gratitude enough for this family and for them taking care of our Luna.”
“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!”
“Kathleen is amazing! Molly had a great time. Our dog has seizures and requires multiple meds. She took expert care of our Molly. We will definitely try booking with her again.”
“This is our dog’s 3rd visit with Dew and she is wonderful! So attentive to her quirks and so patient with her plus we get fun photos the whole time! We will be back for sure! Thanks so much Dew for taking such loving care of our girl! 💕”
“Diana & Christopher were wonderful - they welcomed our dog Luna into their home on short notice and took such good care of her. We received updates and pictures the entire time we were away. Would definitely book again and recommend their home!”
“Cassandra did an amazing job caring for our 4 year old English bulldog for 8 days. Our bulldog is quite stubborn with several medical conditions and she administered all medications and went above and beyond so we can travel without him for the first time in 4 years. Cassandra sent us daily updates and was very quick to respond to us and helped put our minds at ease while away.”
“Our puppy Salem had a great time with Allyson ! We received updates often, she was kind and totally put our minds at ease . We will definitely be using Allyson going forward when leaving town if we want our pup safe and happy!”
“Annmarie was amazing ! She kept me updated everyday with pictures and helped my little girl get comfortable quick. She was quick with communication and is very well educated in anything regarding dogs. I will be using her again in the future !”
