“We were very nervous to leave our Zeus with someone we haven’t met before but Cassandra made us feel so at ease in her beautiful home. Zeus did so great and it was great that Cassandra sent updates and picture and video of our boy. Highly recommend!”

“Kristen took great care of my lab/shepard mix! I could tell my dog was happy, well loved, and cared for in my absence. I really loved the photo updates too. I highly recommend Kristen!”

“This was our first time using Rover & our puppy’s first boarding experience. Mark was fantastic. Our puppy came home very happy and I think he made a new best friend “Reggie.” We will definitely use Mark again in the future.”

About: I've owned dogs all my life and have dog sat in some capacity for family and friends for the last 10 years. I love dogs and treat each like my own. I'm reliable, flexible, and ready to work on short notice during summer. I'm willing to stay and house sit if my schedule permits. I love going for walks and hikes with pups and am not afraid to roll around on the floor for some playtime. I understand how important your pets are and will treat them as you would! I am willing to administer medicine if necessary and am flexible to other needs of your pet. Look forward to meeting you furry baby(ies)! I am a full time teacher. During the week I can let animals out early mornings and then am usually out of work by 3. My weekends are usually free. I will abide by house rules for your pet at home. If you use gates or electric collars please let me know. Happy to bring them on walks if needed.
“Mariana has been fantastic with our two dogs. We have both a senior dog and a puppy and both receive individualized care and attention tailored to their needs. They immediately feel cared for and at home. We will be back!”

“Brittany is very sweet; my dog liked her right away. So did my husband and I! She is extremely accommodating and flexible. When we went to meet her she showed us her yard and took us inside to see her house and meet her dog. While we were away she sent daily photos which was wonderful. From them we could tell our dog was having fun. Brittany send home a very happy pup along with gifts of a new bandanna and a bag full of treats. In all ways she went the extra mile. We were very pleased with this dog sitting experience!”

About: I've always had a deep love for animals, I've cared for dogs of all breeds and ages, giving them attention and afection, always making sure they feel safe, comfortable and happy! I work from home part-time, so this easily allows me to look after and keep an eye on your pets, as well as attend to all their needs. In my home🐾 i have a very friendly Frenchie and he would love to having a friend to play, i provide a warm and safe environment where your dog can feel happy! I stick to their usual routine, feeding times, walks, playtime and rest. Pets have acces to cozzy sleeping spots, and supervised outdoor time. I always can send you photos and updates so you can feel connected while you're away.
“Christopher was kind enough to take my pup on fairly short notice, which I so appreciate. He was friendly, a good communicator, and sent me updates/photos of my dog every day. I can tell Molly enjoyed her stay and I plan to bring her again on my next trip.”

“Luci & her husband did a great job taking care of our dog recently for a couple of days. They have a fenced backyard - super for our dog to safely run & play with her dogs. When I returned to pick her up, the hosts provided me with a sweet thank you/remember them before leaving - a wonderul bag with colorful graphics of dogs, as well as a poop bag clipped to our dog's leash. They were lovely.”

“Karen was outstanding caring for our dude while we were gone. She sent pictures daily and treated him like her own. She helped us feel completely comfortable and we are excited to utilize her in the future. We can’t be more thankful for finding her so close to us!”

About: Hello! My name is Morgan and I have worked in the animal field for 13+ years! I have had jobs in veterinary practices as well as as a dog groomer! I am looking forward to meeting your pets and you! I am currently a stay at home mom with my 10 month old! I have plenty of time to spoil any pets in my care! I love to get out for walks or hikes or just to play in our fenced in backyard! I have a fenced in backyard for pups to run and play as well as a secure, clean and loving home to keep your pet safe while you are away!
“I always feel good dropping my dog off at Raeven’s! It’s a very safe environment and communication is always great. I can tell my dog loves going and he’s always tired afterwards. 10/10”

“I had such a great experience with Erin and her husband Jason. From the start, she was very communicative and caring. She offered to meet and greet in person and followed through on the agreed date and time. I truly appreciated being able to tour the home environment in which my dog would be staying in beforehand. Especially since this was my first time leaving my dog with a stranger for almost a week. The home environment was clean with a huge backyard area that my dog loved. During the stay, Erin sent me multiple picture updates daily. I felt at ease knowing my dog was okay and in good hands while I was away. They were attentive, welcoming, and treated my dog like their own. When I picked my dog up, I could tell she had been well cared for and was comfortable. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter!”

“Bruce was fantastic with our doodle. Our 11 year old was anxious leaving her dog with someone we didn’t know, but said after our initial meet and greet she said that she trusted Bruce. We received multiple updates and pictures a day which made us happy she was having as good of a vacation as we were. Would definitely recommend to others!”

“Stephanie is such a caring provider. We can tell she really enjoyed Bleu’s company and it was mutual! She understands his individual needs. She planned activities to match his energy. She also had other dogs that had pleasant vibes. She gave us a full progress report. We all love Stephanie and cannot wait to reconnect in the future.”

“Will was wonderful. He was extremely flexible with meet and greet, drop off, and pick up times. He was helpful at drop off with handling of dogs and supplies. He provided pictures of stay too. All around pleasant and professional.”

“We have been looking for a “go-to” dog sitter since moving to the New Haven area this summer, and we’ve certainly found one in Noemi and David. We reached out on short notice, looking to board our dog for a long weekend, and they were nothing but accommodating. We were able to quickly schedule a meet and greet, visit their home, and socialize our dog with their family (and their dog, Milo). When we dropped him off there for boarding, we were as comfortable as we could be and had no hesitation in trusting Noemi and David to take care of him. We received great updates/videos over the weekend, and communication was consistently clear and prompt. Our dog seems to have settled right in and came home happily exhausted from plenty of play time this weekend. I can’t recommend Noemi and David enough. We won’t be looking to board our pup with anyone else as long as they’re available!”

“This was the second time that Erin watched our furbabies for us and we are still so thankful that we found her. She took the time to build trust with all three of our cats, and they warmed up to her so quick. We love the pictures that she sends, and appreciated the open communication throughout our trip. We felt completely comfortable being away from them, fully knowing and trusting that they were in good hands. Erin, thank you for everything. We will definitely be reaching out again the next time we need someone to watch the kitties!”


“Crystal was absolutely amazing!!!! She was attentive to detail, reliable, kind & professional! She truly went above and beyond! Plus her photos and updates were top tier! Lol I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting/dog walking needs!”


“Hailey was present and fed the cats as well as played with them! She sent photos while we were gone, which was helpful with seeing how the cats took to her (which was very quickly)! Will totally use her services again!”

“Such a nice couple! They were so sweet to our Sammy and even set up a new litter box for us! They also cleaned up and vacuum. They sent us lots of pics which was amazing because we were worried about our boy! Thanks!”

“Second time working with Alex. She took great care of our four cats and was accommodating to our last minute request. Our cats were healthy and calm when we got home. Thanks, Alex!”


“Julie took excellent care of our cat while we were away. She was very communicative, sent pictures at each check-in, and spent real time playing with him during her visits. We will absolutely be hiring her again in the future!”


“Sara was so easy to work with! Super communicative, precise and flexible for all situations. We have a cat who needs medication and she had no trouble dispensing them. Would recommend her 10 times out of 10!”


“Tarah was great with our two kitties! She was so easy to communicate with and our cats were well cared for. She provided lots of good photos of them playing. I look forward to booking her again in the future - highly recommend!”

About: I've been taking care of animals, including horses, since elementary school. I’ve had 3 cats, 4 horses, and 2 dogs throughout my life. I recently lost my dog to cancer, and I’m sure my kitty misses having his best friend around. So if your dog is cat-friendly, I would love to watch them! I currently work from home. Watching a dog for a day, multiple days or scheduling a break to come walk your dog would not be a problem. I’m located close to downtown Wallingford and there are great places to walk (especially with a dog!). I know how to care for all ages of dogs, including the elderly and I have experience giving medications. Requested information about your pet Please let me know the schedule of your fur baby - what time they get walked, what time they are fed, etc. I would like to have your fur baby keep to their schedule as much as possible. Also let me know any little tricks or specifics for your dogs, how long they like to walk, if they like to go out immediately after eating, etc. Please let me know the demeanor of your dog as well - are they aggressive? Get a long with other dogs/cats? Anything else! I want to make sure they receive the best care! :) Since I work from home, I am able to schedule breaks to take dogs out and go on longer walks (even hikes!). I can board in my house weekdays and weekends. I have a cat who misses his doggy sister, so he does well with dogs, but he rules the roost! I can crate dogs if needed. I also try to keep my house as non-toxic as possible (chemicals, cleaning supplies, etc) for the health of my pets.

About: I grew up surrounded by many cats. A lot of them were strays that found their way into our backyard, and we ended up caring for them and keeping them. Cats are very special to me because they have always been my favorite animals. If you trust me with your cat, I’ll treat them like they’re my own (even if they spend the entire visit pretending I don’t exist). I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, keep the litter box clean, and give them all the attention they’re willing to accept—whether that’s chasing toys, getting chin scratches, or simply being their personal butler from a respectful distance. I’ll keep an eye on how they’re doing, make sure they’re happy and healthy, and follow any special instructions you leave. If your cat decides it’s zoomie time, I’ll happily supervise. If they’re more of a professional napper, I’ll respect their busy schedule. You’ll get plenty of updates and cute photos so you can see what your furry little boss has been up to while you’re away. My goal is for you to enjoy your trip knowing your cat is safe, comfortable, and being spoiled just the right amount.

“Kenzie was amazing! My oldest cat had been recently diagnosed with IBD and is on daily medication. To say he isn’t the easiest to pill is an understatement. Kenzie was able to give him his medication without fail and really eased my anxiety about being away! I would highly recommend her to anyone!”


“Tatum was soooo great with my quirky dog! She totally went above and beyond to make sure my nervous nelly was comfortable enough to eat and do her business. She also kept me updated on everything that was going on with my pup and my kitty. I’ll definitely work with Tatum again!”

About: I love spending time with all types of dogs- big, small, old, young, lazy, energetic and everything in between. I recently moved back to Connecticut from Colorado and now have a more flexible job that allows me the opportunity to dog sit again. In the past, I’ve cared for dogs for Rover clients as well as friends’ and family members’ pets, and I’m comfortable walking, feeding, bathing, and administering medications as needed. I also love being outdoors and am happy to take your dog on walks or hikes if that’s something you’d like. I have experience training dogs, including my own two, and I understand how important it is to follow your dog’s routine and your expectations. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I am open to working with you to make a schedule that works for both your dog's needs and my work schedule. I work Monday-Friday, with a flexible hour break for going to check on your pet midday if needed. My weekends would be planned to meet the needs of your pet, so you could enjoy your time away with our worry! I’m currently open to caring for pets in both my home and your home. My house is dog-friendly, with an unfenced backyard, and I always prioritize safety and supervision when outside. I do my best to keep each pet comfortable by maintaining their usual routines as closely as possible, while also offering opportunities for enrichment based on their personality and comfort level-whether that’s a walk, hike, visit to a family member’s home, or simply relaxing in a calm environment. I’m very mindful of each pet’s needs and cues, and I’m just as happy giving them space if that’s what helps them feel most at ease. When staying in a client’s home, I’m always respectful of your space and preferences, aiming to keep your pet’s routine consistent while caring for your home with the same level of attention and respect.

“Kristen was great with our 3 month old puppy. She was flexible, sent us plenty of pictures, and responded quickly. It was a serene getaway for him and he looked very comfortable in her home. She took him on walks and he walked really well with her. On the second day drop off Kameron was wagging his tail as we walked inside and went straight for a prized green toy he loved. The pictures she sent were beautiful and she was very easy to talk to. I highly recommend her would absolutely use her again.”

“Jenna was great with our anxious and jumpy pup. She took him on walks, spent good time outdoors, sent regular updates, and had a great, calming demeanor with him. She was very flexible even when we came to her last minute. Definitely recommend!”

“Billy loves going to Mark’s. He literally jumps out of the car and runs to the front door. He’s so excited to be there so I know he’s taken care of. Mark’s daycare has saved me so much stress with worrying about my baby while I’m at work. I really love it, and so does Billy.”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was little for family, friends and clients of friends. Animals are my passion and they are just the best companions. I’m the one who seeks out peoples animals when at a party you will find me on the floor with them making friends with them. Rest assured that your animals will be the safest they will ever be in my care! I have the flexibility to give them all the attention they deserve I can take them for walks to give them and myself exercise. Even if it’s just a drop in I have the flexibility all week and weekend to drop in on your pets! I care for everyone’s animals as if they are my own. I will sleep with your pets if that’s what they are used too and I will give them all the loving that they deserve while you are away 🩷 even if they take over the bed and there is no room for me I will find a way to fit because this is their home and I will never get in the way of their routine and what they are used to.

“Maria did exceptional with my baby Snoopy! I was really scared since he suffers from extreme anxiety (He’s a rescue dog). He did great with Maria. She kept me informed and would send me pictures. She was very caring, gentle and comforting. Snoopy did very well with transition. I will definitely rebook with Maria.”


About: I am a veterinary nurse as well as a certified dog trainer. I love animals of all shapes and sizes and will treat your pup as one of my own! I work from home. I do virtual dog training sessions and only work one day out of the house, so very easy for me to take care of your pup in between sessions. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of toys as well as going for daily walks in our very safe neighborhood. I also have two very friendly medium size pups who love to play.
“Alaina and Jake are always happy to take care of my dog bear! They put up with my crazy schedule and always make it work. I know bear is always safe and well cared for when he’s with them :)”

“OMG THE BEST! Mariana took such great care of Galileo. And she took care of ME as well. I felt so safe leaving the little man with her. There were constant updates and photos and so much love. I wish I lived closer so I could use her every day!!!”

“Vanessa was a great sitter for our dog Buttercup! We received many pictures while we were away which was very comforting. Even though Buttercup got sick during her stay, Vanessa took great care of her. Thank you Vanessa!”

“Kelly is such an awesome dog sitter. She is so nice and shows love to all of her pawed clients. She sends updates and great pics everyday. Jax gets so excited when we pull up to her house because of how much he loves her. I know Jax is well taken care of. We are so thankful that we found her! And you will be too. :)”
About: I rescued my own dog from a shelter, and she required a lot of special training and patience. I worked with her on socialization, leash walking, and reducing pulling and barking around other dogs, and I have successfully helped her improve in all of these areas. Since she was a puppy when I adopted her, I also have experience with the patience, consistency, and care that younger dogs require. In addition, I care for a senior dog, so I am experienced in recognizing when a dog has reached their physical limit during walks and understanding how to adjust care based on their needs. Having experience with both younger and older dogs, as well as both large and small breeds, has taught me how to handle dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and training levels with confidence and care. I am currently in school but there are only three days a week I am completely booked with classes. My Mondays and Fridays and weekends are completely open and would love to spend my free time around more dogs! I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for pets while they are in my care. Since I live in an apartment, I make sure the space is pet-friendly, secure, and free of anything that could be harmful to animals. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, exercise, and any special instructions from the owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I prioritize safety during walks, monitor pets closely around other animals, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, patience, and affection. I also provide updates and communication so owners feel reassured while their pets are in my care.
About: My family and I have had pets our whole lives, and we’ve developed a tremendous love for them. Showing love for all animals is something my wife and I wanted to display to our children, and based on the compassion we see them we must have done something right. So, it's safe to say that your pet will be receiving love and attention from all different angles. And my family and I like to be active with the animals we watch - walks, outside play and quality time will always be provided. My wife and I work from home, so our schedules are very flexible. We're also homebodies, so there's always someone home to keep your pet company. I also have two daughters (ages 13 and 11) that are extremely helpful and loving with animals. It simply comes natural to them. So, they'll certainly spend all of their time interacting with your pets in a gentle, trusting manner. Long story short, your pet will be the center of attention. I have 3 cats in my home that are indifferent to most dogs, and tend to go about their business. We have a spacious home for your pets to roam around in, including a finished downstairs and an unoccupied bedroom if they need some time to themselves. I also have a fenced in backyard for your dogs to get some fresh air and play fetch. My neighborhood is also very dog-friendly, with so many families walking their dogs on a daily/nightly basis. So, if your dog is social they'll have a friend to walk with. It's a nice little tucked away neighborhood with minimal traffic flow, making for a peaceful atmosphere.
“We took Frances to daycare as a first step before considering boarding. From the very beginning, Raeven was very kind and welcoming. It was our first time using this service, and it couldn’t have gone better. Now we feel at ease knowing that our pup will stay in a place we trust.”

About: I've had pets since a young age from lizards, cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, turtles, guinea pigs and birds. I have a small dog of my own so I know I can give your pets lots the love and attention too whether they have fur, scales, or feathers! I work from home so all pets get get a lot of attention during the day. For dogs staying in my home, they get 3 walks a day in the morning, during my lunch break, and in the evening. I work from home so all pets get a lot of attention during the day. I love to spend my time after work going on walks and would love a buddy(s) to come with me! I am available from dog walking or in home visits after 5:15pm during the week and anytime on weekends. I think the best way to care for a pet is do exactly what they're comfortable with. I intend to have very open communication with pet parents to understand the likes, dislikes and behaviors of their fur-babies to make sure that they feel safe and comfortable. I do have a dog of my own so I also want to make sure all your pets get along with my Jax, who loves other animals.

“Melanie made a great first impression for us! She extended thoughtful details, did a pre-meet / greet, and connected with my pup well! (he’s a hyper boy, and can be fearful/bark w new people). She arrives on time and puts us at ease knowing Blue will be well cared for. Grateful for weekly walks.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and currently care for my own Yorkshire Terrier puppy, Molly. Being a pet owner has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and paying close attention to a dog’s needs. As a college student and part-time employee, I am responsible, dependable, and committed to making every walk safe, fun, and enjoyable. I will treat your dog with the same love and care I give my own I’m currently a part-time employee and a college student, which gives me flexibility to provide reliable pet care. I’m available for dog walks during my free time, including evenings, weekends, and many weekdays. I always make sure each pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and care during every visit. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I always keep dogs securely leashed during walks, follow each owner’s instructions carefully, and provide fresh water if needed. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and avoid unsafe situations. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same care I give my own dog.
About: I know every cat has a unique personality, so I take the time to earn their trust instead of expecting them to warm up to me right away. Whether your cat is playful and social or shy and independent, I’ll care for them at their own pace. I’ll make sure they stay comfortable by sticking to their routine, keeping their litter box clean, refreshing their food and water, and giving them the right amount of playtime, affection, or quiet company. I’m reliable, patient, and will always keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and in good hands while you’re away. I currently work part-time and attend Gateway, so pet sitting is a great way for me to earn some extra income while doing something I genuinely enjoy. I’ve always loved being around animals, and I take pride in making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I will care for pets with the same attention and respect I would give to any person, and I genuinely love all kinds of animals. I am also very respectful of people’s homes and will always treat them with care and responsibility.

“Julie has been amazing with my dog, Cooper. She’s been doing his mid-day walks and has been incredibly reliable and flexible, which I’ve really appreciated. She’s been easy to communicate with and very accommodating with my schedule. Honestly, I’d keep working with her without hesitation if I weren’t moving. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to take care of their dog.”

“As always Sabrina and Daniel were extraordinary! Our pup is injured and they did an excellent job of getting him out and moving. They spent time time with a short and easy walk. Then spent time playing with Barney in the back yard. It is so comforting to know our dog is in good care!! The reports are helpful and reassuring. And the pics - mad skills in taking images of our sweet puppy!! We LOVE Sabrina and Daniel!! Thank you!”

About: I had dogs throughout my childhood and now have a Labrador Retriever who I couldn’t imagine doing life without. Dogs are family, and I will make sure to give your dog the utmost attention and care and to your specifications. I continue to take my dog to training classes even as an adult dog, and see training as a way of communicating with your dog. I have learned a lot from many different trainers over the years which allows me to be a better caretaker for your dog too. Please reach out with any questions. I very much look forward to meeting your pup! I am currently working part-time so my schedule is flexible and I will have plenty of time to play with and take care of your pup. For overnight guests in our home, we own our home and have a fenced in yard (brand new and installed just for our dog). If the care is in your home, I will gladly follow any instructions you leave and accommodate your preferences and specifications in both caring for your home and your dog.
About: Hey y’all! I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. I have experience volunteering at shelters, working at the humane society, as well as a veterinary clinic. I am knowledgeable with taking care of both cats and dogs! I also have experience with special needs pets, I took care of an epileptic pup for 8 years. I understand how important giving meds are and ensuring they are taken on time, every time. I’d love to be able to help care for your baby! 🥰 I work remote but my work days can be very demanding. I will work with you to flex to your needs any day of the week. I will treat your fur baby as my own while under my care. If you have any special requests within your home, please let me know 🤍
“Raeven is soooo good with my fur baby Rocky. She has a calmness with Rocky and also gives great tips and advice to make my dog’s walking experience even better. I’m so grateful for her.”

About: I grew up in a family with more pets than humans and loved every moment of it. Meeting new pups and kitties is my favorite way to spend a weekend :) I’m currently working part time and love to break the day up with a dog walk. Available for weekend house sitting and drop by visits. I’m always down for a stroll around the neighborhood with your dog or hours of feather wand games with your cat. Like most fur babies, I’m a total homebody and happy to hang out for hours giving head scratches.
“Alex came over every weekday to walk and play with my Morkie, Kimchi, while I was in Scotland for a month. Alex sent me pictures of Kimchi and gave me a report on what they did every day -- it was great! I came home to a happy, relaxed dog, so I know he had a good time. I felt reassured that he was doing well, and I plan to have Alex continue to visit from time to time so they can keep up their friendship. This was the next best thing to having Kimchi with me! I highly recommend Alex.”

“We were very nervous to leave our Zeus with someone we haven’t met before but Cassandra made us feel so at ease in her beautiful home. Zeus did so great and it was great that Cassandra sent updates and picture and video of our boy. Highly recommend!”

“Kristen took great care of my lab/shepard mix! I could tell my dog was happy, well loved, and cared for in my absence. I really loved the photo updates too. I highly recommend Kristen!”

“This was our first time using Rover & our puppy’s first boarding experience. Mark was fantastic. Our puppy came home very happy and I think he made a new best friend “Reggie.” We will definitely use Mark again in the future.”

About: I've owned dogs all my life and have dog sat in some capacity for family and friends for the last 10 years. I love dogs and treat each like my own. I'm reliable, flexible, and ready to work on short notice during summer. I'm willing to stay and house sit if my schedule permits. I love going for walks and hikes with pups and am not afraid to roll around on the floor for some playtime. I understand how important your pets are and will treat them as you would! I am willing to administer medicine if necessary and am flexible to other needs of your pet. Look forward to meeting you furry baby(ies)! I am a full time teacher. During the week I can let animals out early mornings and then am usually out of work by 3. My weekends are usually free. I will abide by house rules for your pet at home. If you use gates or electric collars please let me know. Happy to bring them on walks if needed.
“Mariana has been fantastic with our two dogs. We have both a senior dog and a puppy and both receive individualized care and attention tailored to their needs. They immediately feel cared for and at home. We will be back!”

“Brittany is very sweet; my dog liked her right away. So did my husband and I! She is extremely accommodating and flexible. When we went to meet her she showed us her yard and took us inside to see her house and meet her dog. While we were away she sent daily photos which was wonderful. From them we could tell our dog was having fun. Brittany send home a very happy pup along with gifts of a new bandanna and a bag full of treats. In all ways she went the extra mile. We were very pleased with this dog sitting experience!”

I always can send you photos and updates so you can feel connected while you're away.
“Christopher was kind enough to take my pup on fairly short notice, which I so appreciate. He was friendly, a good communicator, and sent me updates/photos of my dog every day. I can tell Molly enjoyed her stay and I plan to bring her again on my next trip.”

“Karen was outstanding caring for our dude while we were gone. She sent pictures daily and treated him like her own. She helped us feel completely comfortable and we are excited to utilize her in the future. We can’t be more thankful for finding her so close to us!”

“I always feel good dropping my dog off at Raeven’s! It’s a very safe environment and communication is always great. I can tell my dog loves going and he’s always tired afterwards. 10/10”

“I had such a great experience with Erin and her husband Jason. From the start, she was very communicative and caring. She offered to meet and greet in person and followed through on the agreed date and time. I truly appreciated being able to tour the home environment in which my dog would be staying in beforehand. Especially since this was my first time leaving my dog with a stranger for almost a week. The home environment was clean with a huge backyard area that my dog loved. During the stay, Erin sent me multiple picture updates daily. I felt at ease knowing my dog was okay and in good hands while I was away. They were attentive, welcoming, and treated my dog like their own. When I picked my dog up, I could tell she had been well cared for and was comfortable. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter!”

“Bruce was fantastic with our doodle. Our 11 year old was anxious leaving her dog with someone we didn’t know, but said after our initial meet and greet she said that she trusted Bruce. We received multiple updates and pictures a day which made us happy she was having as good of a vacation as we were. Would definitely recommend to others!”

“Will was wonderful. He was extremely flexible with meet and greet, drop off, and pick up times. He was helpful at drop off with handling of dogs and supplies. He provided pictures of stay too. All around pleasant and professional.”

“Davon was amazing. I outreached very impromptu and he was available for a meet and greet with Arya. ( which went well. We reviewed the basics of her care and he made sure to get a full understanding of what is needed to make Aryas stay as comfortable as possible) drop off was nice. He has spacious living accommodations. What stood out is his willingness to work with Arya being that she is a Bully. There are a many false conceptions about this breed. With his family background working with bully’s and pitbull, and his love for animals in general, I had no concerns that Arya was in good care. During her overnight visit, he provided checks up and sent pictures for reassurance. He also introduced Arya to family and friends ( which I love ) being that she is not around other dogs or people, helping her socialize. Picking Arya up was easy. All items returned and she was happy ! I previously boarded her , and when picking her up she was distant, had scratches and limped !!! All in all, 5 stars for Devon. I recommend and will use him again. 🐾💕”

“Mari was so great with Dubu, and my little Dubu is a bit nervous. But she was very empathetic and understanding of her anxiety and Dubu ended up enjoying her stay. It was heartwarming to run into them on a final walk while I was walking to pick her up, it was very adorable.”


“Mikayla and Justin took great care of Scooby, especially when he was anxious about hearing fireworks - they comforted him and played some calming music for him. They also sent regular and detailed updates with many pictures!”

“Nadjeska was so great with our puppy, Georgi! This was the first time leaving him, so was a bit nervous but she kept us up to date with tons of photos and let us know how he was doing! We will definitely bring Georgi back for our next trip!”

“Elizabeth was FANTASTIC! If I could give her a higher rating than 5, I would. Great communication, photos every day and night with daily reports on how Milo was doing. He had a great time there and we will definitely book with her again. Your pet will be in great hands with her and her family!”
