Personalized care for your dog or cat - Sherman
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Sherman
“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.”
“As always, Tyler's stay with Annette was exceptional !!!!!!!! She loves animals and it shows !!!!!!!! We drive over 1 hour just for Annette !!!!! We wouldn't trust and use anyone else !!!!!!! ❤️???”
“I've used Veronica at least a couple times at this point and she has been nothing less thank fantastic. She has been fantastic at communication, great at scheduling room, and took amazing care of my Mika! Definitely bwill contact her again and I would encourage anyone to do the same.”
“Nicole was a FANTASTIC dog sitter/boarder, yet again! We were away for almost two weeks, and she was in touch with us everyday with pictures of our dog as well as updates on what she was up to. It made being away from Ava (our dog) guilt-free as we knew she was having a blast at Nicole's and being so well cared for. We will absolutely be using Nicole again as a dog boarder and would highly recommend her!”
“Rich is great with communication and making sure our dogs are safe and having fun. He even prepared a special holiday meal over Christmas for all of them. So happy he was available to care for our two dogs.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Erika while Frankie was in her care! She sent daily pictures and kept in touch consistently, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Frankie was happy and well cared for the entire time. We highly recommend Erika!”
“Jillian was a great sitter! We were nervous about leaving our pup with someone new but she was great. We checked in frequently and she was quick to respond with updates and photos!! We will be booking again!!”
“Outstanding service. Jeff was very communicative and accommodating for us, and clearly took great care of our pooch. They provided very regular updates with photos and status reports. The property has a well-sized fenced-in outdoor space, and generous indoor pet-friendly zones. It was clear that Jeff took care in ensuring that each dog had the space and safety they required. And our dog came back happy, healthy, and cleaned up.”
“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!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Even with all the rain that week, Jomini and her family took wonderful care of our Bella, and made sure she was happy and well cared for. She also sent us pictures throughout the week, which meant so much because we missed Bella so much. We had complete peace of mind knowing Bella was in such caring hands. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl!”
“Lily is WONDERFUL. She is very loving and kind to my Boozle and Pepe. She took excellent care of them. What I loved is getting daily pics and movies of my little guys. They get tons of attention and Lily picked up on their habits right away. I highly recommend Lily. Total peace of mind.”
“Cherissa was an amazing host. I had a cancellation last minute with a sitter due to an emergency and she was available and so easy to work with. She shared pictures and updates of our puppy multiple times throughout the day of what my fur baby was doing. I will definitely be booking with Cherissa again.”
“I cannot recommend Stephen enough. He took amazing care of our Buddy while we were away. He communicated and sent us videos and updates every day. He was cautious when introducing Buddy to the other dogs in his care and we had a meet and greet prior to the stay which I appreciate, he goes above and beyond to make sure the dogs in his care are compatible to keep all dogs safe. I look forward to using him in the future and I know Buddy will too. You can see that dogs in Stephens care are treated as his own and that is so comforting when leaving your dog in his care.”
“The whole experience with Kyle was great ! We had never really left our dog before and right away Kyle put our minds at ease . From the meet and greet on through he made everything easy and comfortable. He is professional and kind and seemed to genuinely enjoy spending time with our dog . He kept us updated during our time away so we can enjoy ourselves and feel confident that our furry relative was being well taken care of . When I picked Kaya up she seemed happy and well adjusted .We can’t thank Kyle enough for taking excellent of our family member! ! We would book again ?”
“We are repeat customers of Valerie’s and there is no one else we’d rather leave our dogs with! We just adopted a new dog and this was her first stay away from us. Valerie does an amazing job of introducing her to Shakespeare that I know I never have to worry about how they’ll all get along. They bonded immediately and I can tell Valerie loves our dogs almost as much as we do. We will continue to use Valerie over and over! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!”

“Emily is sweet and loving. She clearly loves animals and our two pups love her. Emily is dependable and prompt and quickly responds. We are planning to have her back on regular schedule.”
“Aliya provided sweet, loving and responsible care for my cat and home. She is a very kind animal lover and person with a great attention to detail. Would highly recommend her services.”
“Our beloved fur-boy is Garrett, a 4-year-old Siberian Husky who loves Richie! Just recently, we went away for a 5-day trip and had to leave Garrett at home. Luckily, we met Richie and hired him to do drop-in visits, 3 times a day, for the entire time we were away. Richie made sure that Garrett was taken out for his potty breaks, took him for walks and provided the kind of service and care that he needed. Richie delivered beyond my expectations. He is very reliable, dependable and communicated really well, providing us with updates and feedbacks. From now onwards, he is my to-go-to person whenever we need a back up care for Garrett!”
“I knew Jodi was the right sitter when her text back to me acknowledged my "shy boys". When she came to visit, one of the two came out to greet her and play. He doesn't come out for just anybody and rarely a stranger. Jodi was great. She stayed the entire half hour every day, followed feeding instructions, played with the cats the whole time and left my kitchen neat and clean . I plan to use Jodi for my boys from now on. Very grateful to have found her.”
“Veronica is a very sweet woman who is punctual, caring, and communicates well. She cared for my two cats while I was away. I’m very thankful I met her! She is great at what she does and I’ll absolutely hire her again. Thank you!!”
About: I’ve always loved spending time with cats and understand that each one has their own unique personality. I’ve had two cats of my own, so I’m experienced with daily care, including feeding, cleaning litter boxes, grooming, and cleaning up the occasional hairball. I enjoy playing with cats, giving them attention at their own pace, and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. Whether your cat is outgoing and playful or shy and independent, I’m happy to adapt to their temperament and provide patient, loving care.
“Isabelle is a special caregiver. We hired her. To help care for our 2 German Shepherds, one of which is recovering from brain surgery to remove a tumor. With that, her and her partner have provided amazing care and shown love , compassion and patience to our guy. I highly recommend her if you need someone to provide that extra level of support.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our cat sitter Rachel provided! She did a fantastic job taking care of our two cats while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in loving and capable hands. She kept us updated, was attentive to their needs, and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and happy. Because of her, we were able to truly enjoy our vacation without worry. We are so grateful for her and will absolutely be reaching out again in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: I've had cats my entire life and I always plan to. One of the best parts of my daily life is coming home to, waking up to and going to sleep with them. I'm accustomed to all different personalities, being as I have two opposites at home right now (one sweet and loving, and one who shows love in a different slightly more painful way). You can trust in me to love your cats as my own and cater to all their needs!
“Carlie is FABULOUS! She had quality visits with my two dogs, and provided thorough, insightful honest feedback about how each was doing. One is an elder requiring heart meds. He showed some signs of stress on one of her visits which she described to a T. She had the good judgement to give him a pee and poo break but forego the walk with him. Next visit he was great. Based upon her feedback I felt completely confident that they were in the best possible hands. Carlie is a vet tech, and this added skill/ experience was obvious in how she handled things. She is a woman of kind and gentle temperament and great skill. I could not recommend her more highly. THANK YOU CARLIE!”
About: I've cared for cats for friends, family, and my own pets over the years, and I understand that every cat has a unique personality and routine. I also gained hands-on experience in an animal hospital setting, where I learned how to safely handle animals and pay close attention to their comfort and well-being. Whether your cat needs fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime, medication (if needed), or simply someone to keep them company while you're away, I'll make sure they receive the same love and care I give my own cats. I'll also send photo and text updates after every visit so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Steve was great with Miss Hazel. He was timely and attentive to her. Followed our instructions well and gave us lots of updates. In fact when we came home, she expected him to be there. When she didn’t see him, she went looking for him all over the house! We were only gone 2 days and already she loved him! Thanks for the peace of mind while we were away from our girl!”
About: Our family has had cats for years, and we have fostered many, many more. I have a deep love and understanding of cats, and know that they are commonly mislabeled as mean or aggressive. I understand cat behaviors and would not be intimidated by some hissing or growling - as long as they don't attack on sight, we'll be good!
About: I have two indoor cats of my own. I know how amazing cats are and how awesome their personalities are! I am experienced in giving cats medicine as well. I would take great care of your kitty cats! I can come over to clean litter boxes, feed and play or I can do overnights as well. I have watched cats of all ages and have rescued 5 cats of my own over the years. I am retired so I have a flexible schedule to help out!
About: Pre-vet student with years of pet care experience; moderate experience in puppy/dog training, senior care, and medication, providing expert, compassionate attention to every beloved pet! As a college student with a flexible, seasonal schedule and worsk part-time, I easily incorporate reliable pet care into my daily and weekly routine year-round. In clients' homes, I follow routines closely, provide feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and ensure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free throughout there care.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Sherman
About: 4 years of experience working at a veterinarian office and lifetime pet owner with no current pets. Let me care for your pet like I cared for mine. Work from home, single adult with no children or pets(yet🤣) able to walk local with lots of parks and trails if longer walks are desired. Two level condominium so stairs are required unless smaller and I can pick up to go out, able to give medications, baths, nails and lots and lots of love.
“I have been taking my two dogs to Stephen for daycare every week for a few months now and I am very happy with the care he provides to my pups. He is very reliable, attentive and kind. My dogs love him and feel very comfortable in his house. I feel very lucky to have found him.”
“Excellent sitter! My 4 month old puppy had a blast and Isabel was super about sending multiple pictures throughout the day. Awesome environment and home for a doggy day care. Definitely recommend.”
About: Hello! I’ve worked in many animal related industries including boarding and LLivestock management. This has given me ample experience in care and a nuanced understanding of animal emotion and signals. I provide attentive care and seek to accommodate the individual needs of all animals in my care. They will be well-watched and cared for! I work from home with my sweet dog Rae. We take frequent potty breaks and time to chase sticks and toys. Dog care is built into my schedule, which is flexible to accommodate any needs your dog might have. Our large yard is not fenced but we keep an avid eye on all dogs at play. If desired, we have a tracker collar that gives us live updates of their location to ensure extra precautions. If your dog loves to run and play they will have play of space to do so! Rae is a great play companion but also gives other dogs space if they would like.
“Briana was amazing! We came from California to NY and was our first time traveling with Miklo. It was a great experience! I would totally recommend her to anyone looking for a good pet nanny in the Patterson area, she was super sweet and very communicative and from the looks of it my pup looked like he had the best time!! It was my first time using Rover, but thanks to this experience I’m looking forward to booking again! Thanks Briana!! <3”
“Nicole is not only knowledgeable but you can feel how she loves taking care of animals! I appreciate so much the care she has provided and will using her again! Thank you 🙏🏻”
“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!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I can remember! Currently an owner of a frenchie and yellow lab! Always been a dog lover and would love to spend time with your pups too! I’m currently in part time online schooling for my masters in social work so scheduling is not an issue for me! Have a pretty available schedule during the week! I am looking to do dog walks and many play dates! Always open to bringing my friendly frenchie doggo along for extra fun if allowed!
About: Hello! My name is Daphne. Since I was a little girl, I have had a huge passion and love for dogs. I have grown up with bully breeds for my entire life. From Rottweilers to Pit bulls, to American Bulldogs. I currently have an Olde English Bulldog who is the princess of our family. I have a huge love for dogs but specifically bully breeds. I understand how strong they are when going for walks and how much love they have to give. I have experience working at a dog kennel in Putnam Valley taking care of multiple dogs at a time, big and small. I also take care of my neighbors 3 black labs when she is away multiple times a year. I currently work remote so I am available any time during the weekday. I do require a few days advanced noticed so I can plan my schedule! I am able to provide fresh food and water for dogs. I will also ensure dogs get regular walks and exercise as per their usual routine.
About: 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.
“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!”
“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 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!
“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.”
About: I am a life long dog lover with many years of experience taking care of dogs as well as fostering dogs in need! I believe boarding should feel less like a kennel and more like your dog is staying with family. That's why I keep my boarding groups small, so every dog gets plenty of individual attention, affection, playtime, and space to relax. Your dog becomes part of the household while they're here not just another dog on the schedule. Dogs are welcome to make themselves completely at home. They can curl up on the couch, nap on the bed, play with friends, or find a quiet place to relax when they've had enough excitement. And when they're ready for an adventure, there's plenty of that too! A typical stay can include walks, outdoor play, trips around town, dog park adventures when appropriate, and lots of one on one attention. My goal is simple, when you go on vacation, your dog gets a vacation too! Dog sitting is my full time focus, which means your dog isn't being squeezed into my schedule they're part of it! Being home and available throughout the day allows me to give each dog plenty of attention, playtime, outdoor breaks, walks, and, of course, plenty of time to relax and make themselves at home. When your dog stays with me, caring for them isn't something I do around my day, it's my day! 🐶❤️ Fewer dogs means more individual attention, easier supervision, more personalized care, and a calmer home environment. It also allows me to get to know each dog's personality and routine instead of treating every stay the same. Whether your dog wants to spend the afternoon playing with friends, following me around the house, exploring outside, or snoozing on the couch, I want them to feel comfortable being themselves.
“Kennedy has a fabulous time with Samantha and Michael and their adorable kids! We got updates and pictures and they were very quick to respond. We were very happy and would highly recommend them! Kennedy would love to come back to play!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs for most of my life and currently help care for my family’s dogs. Through years of daily experience, I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for dogs of different personalities and energy levels. I’ve grown up with labrador retrievers and golden retrievers, so I’m comfortable walking and caring for larger dogs. While I’m new to Rover, I’m dependable, patient, and committed to making every walk safe and enjoyable. I’m currently a graduate student, and I enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own family’s dogs, and I’m always happy to provide updates after each walk. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I have flexibility to schedule walks throughout the week. As a graduate student, I enjoy taking breaks to get outside and stay active, and dog walking is a great way to do that. I’m committed to being reliable, punctual, and making sure each dog gets the attention and exercise they need. Caring for dogs has been part of my daily routine for most of my life. I currently help my family’s dogs, a black lab and a labrador retriever, by taking them on walks, feeding them, making sure they have fresh water, playing with them, and giving them plenty of attention. I also help keep them on their regular routine and make sure they get the exercise they need. Spending time with dogs has always been something I enjoy, and I understand how important it is to provide patient, dependable care while keeping them safe and happy.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals throughout my life and have cared for pets of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personalities, from small and shy to big, energetic, and outgoing. Because of that experience, I’m comfortable adapting my approach to each pet rather than expecting every animal to respond the same way. I’m confident caring for both small and large breeds, energetic puppies, adult pets, and seniors who may need a little extra patience and attention. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following specific feeding, exercise, or care instructions. I understand that shy or anxious pets may need time and space to build trust, while more outgoing pets might be ready for playtime the second I walk through the door! Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ll pay attention to the little things, keep their routine as familiar as possible, and provide plenty of love, patience, and reassurance. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet parents, so you can expect reliable communication and updates while your furry family member is in my care. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I have the flexibility to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m happy to work around each pet’s established schedule, whether that means morning or evening walks, regular potty breaks, feeding times, medication, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when their favorite humans are away, so I make maintaining their normal routine a priority. Whether your pet needs lots of activity and attention or prefers a quieter day filled with naps and cuddles, I’m happy to adjust my schedule to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. 🐾❤️ When I’m caring for your pet in your home, I want them to feel like their routine hasn’t skipped a beat. I’ll follow your instructions closely, from meals, walks, potty breaks, and medications to favorite toys, sleeping spots, and all those little quirks that make your pet uniquely yours. 🐾 Having owned and cared for animals of all sizes, ages, and personalities throughout my life, I’m comfortable with the shy ones who need time to trust, the big personalities who want to play nonstop, and the seniors who just want some extra patience and love. I also know you’re trusting me with two things that mean a lot to you: your pet and your home. I’ll treat both with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Expect plenty of love, attention, photos, and updates, because being away from your pet is much easier when you can actually see that happy face! ❤️🐶🐱
About: Growing up, I had a Lab and then a Boxer and two cats. I've also helped my aunt at the doggie daycare she runs out of her home where she often has more than 10 dogs at a time. Everything from a Great Pyrenees to German Shepherds to Doodles to Yorkies. And it's always so much fun! The care I'll give your pets will really depend on them and their needs. There's a very large unfenced grass area behind my apartment building that would be perfect for walks or play. And there are multiple parks in the area too we could explore. At yours, I'd keep whatever their normal routine is. Whether that's taking walks, throwing the ball or just sitting and chilling and scratching butts. Their butts of course!

“We’ve used Richie several times to walk and feed our 2 pitties and could not be happier. He was professional, communicative, and loved on our babies while we were away. We are super picky about who we allow not only into our home, but to care with our doggies. Richie never disappointed! We will absolutely utilize him again in the future and recommend him to anyone looking for a great person to take care of your animals needs. Thanks Richie for being so great!”

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life and currently have two of my own, so I truly understand the responsibility and love that goes into caring for them.

Your pet will be treated like family in a safe, structured, and loving environment. Pet care is already a central part of my daily routine. I have two dogs of my own, so my days naturally revolve around scheduled walks, feeding times, play, and plenty of attention.

About: I've been taking care of my own dog since we first got her 7 years ago, and I also used to volunteer at the New Milford Animal Shelter. My family fosters animals (both cats and dogs) from Because 4 Paws in New Milford, so I have some basic experience with administering medicines and helping others administer medicines. I've also been a dog sitter for 3 different families. I recently moved back to the east coast and am looking for some side work while I hunt for a full time job. I'm not sure when that will be, so I'm trying not to set my availability too far out, but am still flexible for now! Depending on what the owners are comfortable with, I would love to take the dogs out for a walk at a nearby park or walking trail. We have four cats at our house that are wary of new animals, so I am unable to pet sit at my residence. However, I am willing to spend time with your fur babies at your house or preferred location, and will follow whatever instructions necessary to ensure the comfortability of you and your pets.
“Steve does a great job with my dog Gus. He came and walked him while I was out of town for a few days. He has very great communication and I felt confident leaving Gus in his care. Highly recommend to others!”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve raised three puppies of my own—so I know the energy, patience, and consistency it takes to help them grow into happy, well-behaved companions. I also had the honor of caring for my senior dog until he was 16 years old, so I’m very familiar with the extra love, gentleness, and attention that older pups often need I’m a teacher off for the summer with a flexible schedule. I’m available weekdays, most weekends, mornings, evenings—whatever works best for you and your pet! Safety is most important! I’ll follow all your care instructions closely to ensure your pet stays safe, happy, and comfortable in a secure, loving environment.
About: I am a lover of all animals big and small. I was blessed to own many species of pets while growing up. They taught me about responsibility, and gave me respect and appreciation for all living creatures. I have experience with many species: popular pets like dogs, cats, rabbits, and exotic pets such as ferrets, reptiles and fish. I am proud to say I am a NY state licensed Veterinary Technician with an animal medical background. I’m currently working full time but I like to make time to keep busy during the week with walks, boardings and sittings. I am very flexible. I have the ability to work from home and my husband is home during the day for additional care, when needed. I live in an apartment with a beautiful grassy yard for walking and a nice dog park onsite. I have a spare room for the dog to stay, if needed. I can also accommodate a crate trained dog. I can accommodate almost anything. Please let me know your requests and I will try my best to make it happen.
About: I've had cats my entire life & I have a few years experience pet sitting for and walking dogs and would love for it to become a regular part of my life again.

“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've used Veronica at least a couple times at this point and she has been nothing less thank fantastic. She has been fantastic at communication, great at scheduling room, and took amazing care of my Mika! Definitely bwill contact her again and I would encourage anyone to do the same.”
“Nicole was a FANTASTIC dog sitter/boarder, yet again! We were away for almost two weeks, and she was in touch with us everyday with pictures of our dog as well as updates on what she was up to. It made being away from Ava (our dog) guilt-free as we knew she was having a blast at Nicole's and being so well cared for. We will absolutely be using Nicole again as a dog boarder and would highly recommend her!”
“Rich is great with communication and making sure our dogs are safe and having fun. He even prepared a special holiday meal over Christmas for all of them. So happy he was available to care for our two dogs.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Erika while Frankie was in her care! She sent daily pictures and kept in touch consistently, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Frankie was happy and well cared for the entire time. We highly recommend Erika!”
“Jillian was a great sitter! We were nervous about leaving our pup with someone new but she was great. We checked in frequently and she was quick to respond with updates and photos!! We will be booking again!!”
“Outstanding service. Jeff was very communicative and accommodating for us, and clearly took great care of our pooch. They provided very regular updates with photos and status reports. The property has a well-sized fenced-in outdoor space, and generous indoor pet-friendly zones. It was clear that Jeff took care in ensuring that each dog had the space and safety they required. And our dog came back happy, healthy, and cleaned up.”
“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!”
“I cannot recommend Stephen enough. He took amazing care of our Buddy while we were away. He communicated and sent us videos and updates every day. He was cautious when introducing Buddy to the other dogs in his care and we had a meet and greet prior to the stay which I appreciate, he goes above and beyond to make sure the dogs in his care are compatible to keep all dogs safe. I look forward to using him in the future and I know Buddy will too. You can see that dogs in Stephens care are treated as his own and that is so comforting when leaving your dog in his care.”
“The whole experience with Kyle was great ! We had never really left our dog before and right away Kyle put our minds at ease . From the meet and greet on through he made everything easy and comfortable. He is professional and kind and seemed to genuinely enjoy spending time with our dog . He kept us updated during our time away so we can enjoy ourselves and feel confident that our furry relative was being well taken care of . When I picked Kaya up she seemed happy and well adjusted .We can’t thank Kyle enough for taking excellent of our family member! ! We would book again ?”
“We are repeat customers of Valerie’s and there is no one else we’d rather leave our dogs with! We just adopted a new dog and this was her first stay away from us. Valerie does an amazing job of introducing her to Shakespeare that I know I never have to worry about how they’ll all get along. They bonded immediately and I can tell Valerie loves our dogs almost as much as we do. We will continue to use Valerie over and over! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!”
“We had a great experience with Kate! Our dog, Sampson, stayed in her home and was very well cared for. Communication was easy and consistent, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands. Sampson is pretty easygoing, but it was clear he was treated with attention and kindness. We will definitely book with them again.”
“What an amazing dog boarding experience. My dog loved her so much he has even pulled me toward her house when we go on our regular walks because he missed her! I highly recommend any”
“I was very pleased with the care my dog received from Rachel. She sent multiple pictures & videos daily. He was well cared for & had a wonderful time as per the photos! He was taken on long hikes daily. I would feel very comfortable having Rachel watch him again and highly recommend her.”

“Lora is amazing! Our boy Ash had a great stay at her place. She followed all of our instructions carefully and made sure he was well taken care of. Our boy is reactive to other dogs, Lora assured us she had lots of experience and was able to handle him on walk which put us at ease. She checked in with us daily and sent lots of updates and pictures as requested. Ash spent his days sun bathing in her living room watching hummingbirds and playing with Lora, I’m almost certain he didn’t want to come home because of how much he loves her. Loras home will now be Ash’s second home. Thank you endlessly Lora!”
