Highly-rated overnight sitters - Wallingford
“Mark and his family were so great with Cooper! I needed someone to watch him last might and Mark and his family were willing to help me out. They were very accommodating and sent regular updates. I'm so thankful to have found them! Thank you so much!”
“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!”
“Wonderful experience boarding our dog! Kristen allowed us to do a meet and greet with her cat before booking, to ensure that her home was a good fit. Despite being Christmas week, Kristen was super accommodating and made us feel comfortable leaving our dog with her. She was great at communicating and took amazing care of Raya! ❤️”
“Maria is just fantastic! She is very professional, so very kind and sweet. We received daily updates, pics and videos of our dog Micky. She even groomed him and trimmed his claws for us. Our dog was part of her family and we highly recommend Maria and we will happily use her again. Maria deserves more then 5 stars. ???”
“Danielle and her husband were absolutely amazing while watching our little guy (Jaxson) for a quick getaway this week. We were given constant updates/pictures, and he clearly made himself right at home and was as comfortable as can be. Communication was prompt from the beginning and we were truly at ease while we were away that he was receiving more than adequate care. Jax became quick friends with their pets, and was moping around when we got home because he clearly misses them! Could not recommend enough!”
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.
“Luci is and was Amazing. She treated my puppy Treasure like part of the Family. I will continue to ask Luci to take care of Treasue as long as she'll have him. I want to Thank Her over and over for giving me piece of mind while I was Away.”
“Caring and loving family. She kept me abreast of my pup being sad that we weren’t around, and continued to go out of the way to make sure he was ok, just sad. Don’t hesitate to have them watch your pups.”
“Lori is great with our cats. She doesn’t just stop by to feed them; she brushes them and plays with them too. She goes out of her way to make sure their routine is maintained as much as possible while we’re away and we greatly appreciate it.”
“Our dog Frida just finished her second boarding visit and loved her time with Brit and her family. It’s truly a home away from home for her. We got daily photos and updates. We have an older dog with diabetes and Brit was so helpful in being able to assist her in her feeding/medication requirements. Frida adores Brit, her family, and their dog and we look forward to using their services again moving forward!”
“Erin was great with my dog, taking her out on hikes and walks. Gave her plenty of time to play and kept me updated throughout with lots of pictures! Treated my dog like she was a part of her family. Would book again!!!”
“La mejor cuidadora que he conocido extremadamente comunicativa, cariñosa con nuestro perrito 🐶 siempre pendiente en todo momento y manteniendo al tanto de cada cosa con nuestro perrito la recomiendo al 100% muchas gracias definitivamente volvería a dejar a nuestro tequila con ella”
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.
“Stephanie was terrific with my dog, Clementine. She knew just what Clem needed. The dropoff and pickup went smoothly. Best of all, Stephanie’s dog Caden was a great playmate. I highly recommend Stephanie, she’s amazing.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Karen! Before confirming the booking, she invited us for a meet and greet at her place, which has a spacious and comfortable room just for boarding dogs. One of the main reasons we chose her is that she doesn’t board dogs from different families at the same time, and her own dogs don’t interact with guests—something that really mattered to us since our 8-month-old German Shepherd was boarding for the very first time. Karen took careful notes, asked lots of thoughtful questions, and made sure to follow our dog’s usual routine. During our two-day trip, she sent frequent photo updates that gave us so much peace of mind. Our puppy was clearly comfortable and relaxed around her. We’ll definitely book with Karen again in the future!”
“It was my first time leaving the babies with someone. I was reassured everything would be okay. Bruce always updated me on everything and made sure to send lots of photos too. My dogs were taken care of well and loved. I felt at ease leaving them for the weekend.”
“Elizabeth and her family were absolutely incredible. My boys absolutely adored her, and her family. This was the first time I ever had to board my boys- and I was quite nervous. I can honestly say I felt at such ease knowing they were in such incredible, loving hands. They had so much fun staying with them, and I was able to enjoy my trip to the fullest knowing how happy and loved my boys genuinely were, while I was away🤍 I highly recommend Elizabeth and her family for their services. I will absolutely be using her again for any boarding needs- and potentially doggy daycare (thats how much fun my boys had)🤪”

“Christine was from the start very thorough, detail oriented and very caring. This was our first experience with her and she did not disappoint. Christine is a very kind and thoughtful person and it showed in her daily reports and photos she sent. She cared for our kitties for 10 days and they are not used to being alone for that long. Christine took extra care to be sure they knew she was there to help them without overwhelming them. We felt very comfortable that they were going to be in good hands and we know they were. Thank you Christine! Will definitely be booking with you again.”
About: I have a lot of experience with cats, having been owned by 9 over the years. I believe that no cat has forgotten that they were worshipped like gods in Ancient Egypt and deserve to be treated as such! I am comfortable giving medication to cats, including giving insulin shots. I have had 2 diabetic cats. I am a home healthcare worker and patients are always surprised when their cat, "who never goes to anyone" comes to me and accepts pets and scratches.
“Tarah was sooo amazing with my cat, Mao Mao! My husband and I went away for 2 weeks on our honeymoon, which is the longest we've been away before so I was worried leaving her that long. But Tarah eased every single worry I had! She gave amazing updates and pictures of Mao Mao while we were gone, made sure her litter boxes were clean, her food bowl was filled, and that she got lots of love and pets while we were away! She was so responsive and easy to get ahold of and really went above and beyond for us! I would 100% book with Tarah again for any trip we take in the future!”
“Huge thanks to Julie for taking such great care of our cat, Mira! It’s always a bit tough leaving her, but Julie made it so easy. She was always on time and sent the best detailed updates and cute photos, which we looked forward to every day. We could tell the second we got home that Mira had been in great hands, she was so happy and relaxed. If you’re looking for someone reliable who truly cares about your pets, Julie is the one! We’ll definitely be booking her again.”
“Hailey was wonderful with my two cats! I loved all the photos and updates a received and was so happy to see the cats in good spirits when I came home. I look forward to booking again the next time I’m out of town.”
About: I have been responsible for dogs of all types for over a decade. From occasional afternoon walks to extended house-sitting and dog watching, I have experience providing companionship and playful exercise to dogs. If your dogs have special needs or specific routines, like medication or feedings, I have experience with that too! Whatever your fur-baby needs, I can do it. My availability during the work week will be any time after 4:30pm. I need to leave for work in the mornings around 8:30pm. On weekends, I'm wide open! AVALABILITY CHANGE STARTING AUGUST 27TH 2026! Once the school year starts again I will be working part time, so I have plenty of time to walk and or visit your loveable pets! During the work week, I will be available 9:30am to 2:00pm and then available any time after 6:00pm; Except for Tuesdays, my mid-day availability starts at 11:30. On weekends, I am wide open all day! Every animal deserves love and respect. From energetic puppies needing a playmate to senior dogs enjoying a stroll, I am able to adjust to their personalities and meet the dog at their needs. I will always be vigilant and engaged, making sure they are safe and having fun while you are away!
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.
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 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.
“Shes a great communicator but most importantly took care of my pets like theyre her own. I never doubted my pets were well cared for and thats the most important thing!”
“Kenzie is fabulous. Her love and ease with animals was evident at our first meet. Kenzie is flexible and dependable. She went above and beyond to check in on our cat while we were on vacation who wasn’t feeling well. We felt such a sense of relief knowing our animals were in safe hands while we were away. Highly recommend.”
About: Hello Rover customers, I have taken care of pets since I was a child and have taken care of my family’s fur babies since my kids were small. I am currently left with my senior cat at home but would love to take great care of your beloved fur babies. I am currently self employed and work part time during the weekdays. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate as needed with enough notice! I have a fenced in yard for my animals if needed but I am very careful in customer’s homes and make sure to not leave without checking my surroundings first so no animals gets out the door.
About: I worked for The FurKid company in New York City. There, I walked dogs, as well as provided overnight care for dogs and cats, which includes administering medication to the animals. I'm a teacher, so I am mostly available outside of the 7:30PM to 3:30PM window. I pour a lot of love into the animals I care for, no matter how much time I have with them! I have no pets of my own, so will be able to put all of my energy into yours! I unfortunately don't have a yard, but there is plenty of green space and a dog park in my apartment complex.
“Kate is an outstanding pet sitter. She did such an excellent job looking after our cats, When we returned the cats were calm and relaxed. I know they had been well looked after. Kate communicated with us every day sending photos of our cats. We will definitely use her again!”
“Katie checked in on both our cats for a week. She did a wonderful job with them. She was very responsive and took great care of our boys. We really appreciated having that peace of mind.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Wallingford
“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.”

“Mark was fantastic. Mr. Wuggly and Nugget loved him and his family!! Mr.Wuggly and Nugget had a fun day! They fell right to sleep on the way home. When picking up my two pugs they acted very calm they usually act like little nuts. By my pugs behavior I know Mark and his family took great care of my pugs. I would 100% book again if I am in the area.”

“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.

About: Hi, I’m Luz 🤍 I’m a proud dog mom to two fur babies: my sweet 4-year-old Cavapoo and my playful 1-year-old Toy Poodle. They are my world, and that love naturally extends to every dog I welcome into my home. I do things a little differently here. I keep my clientele small and intentional. I believe every dog deserves focused, genuine care, not just a place to sleep. The families I work with aren’t just clients, they become part of my family. That’s the kind of relationship I’m here to build. What your pup can look forward to 🐾 From the moment they arrive, they’re surrounded by love. My two boys are friendly, social companions who make every stay feel comfortable and fun. We have a private fenced dog park right at our building, so there’s plenty of space to run, play, and be a dog, every single day. I’m also an active walker, averaging 50+ miles a month, so your pup will always be well exercised and happy. When it’s time for a little pampering, I offer a full dog wash including shampoo/ whitening shampoo, CHI detangling spray, brushing, blow dry, and a finishing perfume so they go home looking and smelling their best. 🛁✨ (Dog wash is available as an add-on for an additional fee.) Pet laundry is included by request. Their blankets, beds, and favorite things go home as fresh as they do. Throughout every stay, you’ll receive real-time photos and updates! Peace of mind matters just as much as the care itself. Services offered: 🐶 Dog Boarding 🐶 Dog Walking 🛁 Dog Wash (add-on) 🧺 Pet Laundry (included by request) 📍 Meriden, CT | Meet & greets are available by request for shorter stays. M&G’s are required before booking for longer stays to ensure a healthy and playful environment. ⚠️ NO CATS — no exceptions. My eldest is not cat-friendly and the safety of every animal in my home always comes first. I’d love to meet your pup and earn your trust. Feel free to message me anytime. 💌 I’m home full-time with a completely flexible schedule, which means your dog is never left alone or waiting on attention. Whether it’s a long afternoon walk, an evening stroll, or a cozy night in, I’m always present and available. I genuinely love being home with my babies, so boarding fits perfectly into my lifestyle. Your pup isn’t coming to a business, they’re coming to a home where someone is there, all day, every day. 🤍 The safety of every dog in my care is something I take seriously and never compromise on. All dogs are kept on harnesses and leashes during walks and outings. Free roaming is only permitted within our private fenced dog park. Socialization with other dogs is handled with care and only takes place with prior approval from the pet parent. Treats are never given without authorization, and all allergies, sensitivities, and health conditions are documented before every stay. Please note that breed and weight restrictions may apply. Feel free to message me for more details before booking. 💌
“Merlin had a BLAST with Raeven and team. We received a bunch of photos and a video that captured his personality and illustrated his enjoyment. 10/10 - your pup will enjoy a day with their squad.”
About: I have over 20 years of professional experience in animal care, including work in shelters, veterinary settings, daycare, grooming, and private pet sitting. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small animals in a variety of environments and understand how to keep pets safe, calm, and comfortable. My background includes administering medications, monitoring for signs of illness, conducting behavior assessments, supporting adoptions, and working closely with veterinarians and animal welfare teams. I’ve also provided private dog walking and in-home pet sitting since 2015. In my home, dogs receive attentive, calm care in a safe environment. I’m especially experienced with small, senior, and sensitive dogs, and I’m comfortable administering medications and helping nervous or shy pets feel secure. For dogs who enjoy it, I love taking them on long walks and nature hikes to provide both physical exercise and mental enrichment. As a long-time dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I provide thoughtful, individualized care, clear communication, and regular updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and boarding. I’m able to provide morning, midday, and evening care, including weekends. Because I spend most of my time at home caring for my own small dogs, I’m able to give visiting pets consistent attention, regular walks, and a calm, predictable routine. My home is calm, clean, and set up with pets’ safety and comfort in mind. I have extensive experience safely managing multiple animals and carefully supervising introductions when needed. Dogs can be separated into different areas of the home if necessary, and I am able to crate dogs safely if that is part of their normal routine. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise needs. My goal is to provide a secure, low-stress environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
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.
“Ellen and Brian took great care of our dog while we attended a local event. They treated her like part of the family and your pet will be very happy there. Do not hesitate to book Ellen and Brian and we would certainly use them again when in the area.”
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.

“Kristen has just started walking Lili and has been great! Lili has warmed right up to her. We love the photo updates! They make us laugh and "aw" when we cant be with our girl! Thank you Kristen for helping us and getting Lili out for fresh air and cuddle time during the day!”
“We don’t have a very easy dog to walk but Rebecca did a great job making him feel comfortable and get plenty of exercise and time outside! She gave us great feedback on ways to help in the future with a scared stressed dog and we will definitely have her walk our dog in the future!”
“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.”
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.
“Mary has done an excellent job. She shows up on time and gives our dog a nice walk. He seems glad to see her on those occasions when my wife was home at walk time. Happy to suggest her to others.”

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.

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.

“Mark and his family were so great with Cooper! I needed someone to watch him last might and Mark and his family were willing to help me out. They were very accommodating and sent regular updates. I'm so thankful to have found them! Thank you so much!”
“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!”
“Wonderful experience boarding our dog! Kristen allowed us to do a meet and greet with her cat before booking, to ensure that her home was a good fit. Despite being Christmas week, Kristen was super accommodating and made us feel comfortable leaving our dog with her. She was great at communicating and took amazing care of Raya! ❤️”
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.
“Caring and loving family. She kept me abreast of my pup being sad that we weren’t around, and continued to go out of the way to make sure he was ok, just sad. Don’t hesitate to have them watch your pups.”
“Lori is great with our cats. She doesn’t just stop by to feed them; she brushes them and plays with them too. She goes out of her way to make sure their routine is maintained as much as possible while we’re away and we greatly appreciate it.”
“Our dog Frida just finished her second boarding visit and loved her time with Brit and her family. It’s truly a home away from home for her. We got daily photos and updates. We have an older dog with diabetes and Brit was so helpful in being able to assist her in her feeding/medication requirements. Frida adores Brit, her family, and their dog and we look forward to using their services again moving forward!”
“Erin was great with my dog, taking her out on hikes and walks. Gave her plenty of time to play and kept me updated throughout with lots of pictures! Treated my dog like she was a part of her family. Would book again!!!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Karen! Before confirming the booking, she invited us for a meet and greet at her place, which has a spacious and comfortable room just for boarding dogs. One of the main reasons we chose her is that she doesn’t board dogs from different families at the same time, and her own dogs don’t interact with guests—something that really mattered to us since our 8-month-old German Shepherd was boarding for the very first time. Karen took careful notes, asked lots of thoughtful questions, and made sure to follow our dog’s usual routine. During our two-day trip, she sent frequent photo updates that gave us so much peace of mind. Our puppy was clearly comfortable and relaxed around her. We’ll definitely book with Karen again in the future!”
“It was my first time leaving the babies with someone. I was reassured everything would be okay. Bruce always updated me on everything and made sure to send lots of photos too. My dogs were taken care of well and loved. I felt at ease leaving them for the weekend.”
“Elizabeth and her family were absolutely incredible. My boys absolutely adored her, and her family. This was the first time I ever had to board my boys- and I was quite nervous. I can honestly say I felt at such ease knowing they were in such incredible, loving hands. They had so much fun staying with them, and I was able to enjoy my trip to the fullest knowing how happy and loved my boys genuinely were, while I was away🤍 I highly recommend Elizabeth and her family for their services. I will absolutely be using her again for any boarding needs- and potentially doggy daycare (thats how much fun my boys had)🤪”
“Mikayla and Justine were both amazing with our dog Lew! He can be a little nervous, and they went out of their way to keep him comfortable and happy while we were away. We also got in depth notes about his day along with pictures everyday, which was so helpful! We will definitely use them again -- great sitters!”
“As always, our pup is in the best of hands, she’s always excited to stay with Ariel and her family of humans and furry friends. I love our daily updates and pictures and so happy she is in a home environment when we cannot be home with her. Thank you!”
“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.”
“There are not enough words to rave about Nadjeska. First time leaving our dogs at a sitters house and not a kennel. She made my two dogs feel right at home and was so unbelievably kind especially to my one dog who has anxiety and separation issues. She sent pics and texts constantly and is literally the best sitter out there. I know they will be so excited to return. She made us completely comfortable leaving them with her. Huge piece of mind. Do NOT hesitate to book with her.”
“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.”
