“Nicole did a great job with Sticky while we were away. She sent many photos in addition to responding quickly with updates when I checked in. Her dog, Bailey, seemed very relaxed with another dog in the house, and no signs of stress for either dog, even with a baby in the house. Very inpressed!”
“Kristina was WONDERFUL!! She was incredibly accommodating and flexible which made everything so easy for us. My dog loved her and was so happy to spend time with Kristina too, so it’s a no brainer to book her!”
“Alan and Luis took such great care of our dog, Hunter. They communicated often and provided a safe and fun environment for Hunter and all dogs. Highly recommend and will be rebooking when we travel”
“We’ve used a handful of sitters on rover and Angela and Tommy are the best. They have an awesome big yard, playful friendly pups, and give lots of love to our fur baby. Thankful to have a go to home for when we have to travel.”
“Karina always does a wonderful job of taking care of our big, shy pup. She has made him feel so comfortable in her home, and now when we take him to stay he runs to greet her, so he has really adopted her into his family! Also, Jared has been fantastic in encouraging Sancho to feel relaxed. We can't thank them both enough for giving us peace of mind for our dear one, when we have to be away.”
“Katie watched our dog, who is almost 2, for a couple of nights recently. I was very comfortable dropping him off and leaving him with her and her family. I love the at home experience she gave him, as opposed to kennels. Our dog is on special food and she took great care to make sure he didn’t get into her pets’ food. We will definitely use Katie again to take care of Linus.”
“Rory had not spent a night away from home since we got him over a year ago. Maria and her family did a wonderful job taking care of him. He very much enjoyed his visit and playing with the other dogs.”
“Kathryn & Jeremy were great! Their house was cozy and friendly. Our corgi loved playing with their kids and he was definitely tired when he got home. They were great at communication and we felt our dog was safe. Will book with them again!”
“James took care of Oreo for 2 weeks during the holidays, he was always responsive to messages and send pictures every couple of days! Definitely would recommend! Thanks for all the help”
“I recently had Gail take care of my dog, Dior, for a week while I was on vacation. The bond Gail and her dog Ginger formed with Dior was heartwarming. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dog, providing plenty of love and attention. Dior came home happy and well-exercised, which is a testament to the great care they received. Safety was a top priority for me, and I felt completely at ease knowing Gail was watching over my pet. [He/She/They] followed all instructions regarding feeding and I appreciated the regular updates and photos that kept me in the loop. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience with Gail. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“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!”
“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.”
“My puppy was very happy to stay with Jenn. I loved getting updates and photos. I felt secure leaving my precious dog with her. I interviewed other sitters and correctly knew Jenn would be great. She was!”
“Lynsey was incredibly accommodating and made sure that Zora was coming into a friendly environment. Her pup Stan got along great with mine, and she had an ample, secure space that the pups could run around in.”
“Laura was great with our pups! She accommodated our pick up and drop off times and sent lots pic pictures and videos. Her house is very nice and she has a big backyard on a lake. My dogs were so happy and at home with her.”
“I felt great knowing my dog was in Yajaira’s hands when I was away on vacation. She was attentive to his needs and a great communicator. I would definitely book Yajaira’s services again in the future.”

About: From childhood companions to lifelong family, cats have always been my heart’s favorite. With four feline friends of my own, I understand their quirks, needs, and love better than ever. Your cat isn’t simply a pet, they’re a cherished member of your family, and I’ll treat them with the same TLC they deserve.
“Marisa stayed at our house for more than two weeks, caring for our cat and plants. She did an exceptional job! Our cat was very content and hardly seemed to miss us, which really shows how comfortable she was with Marisa. I would recommend her to anyone, and we would be delighted to have her house sit for us again!”
“Wow! We’ve had several sitters over the years and Katie was BY FAR the best sitter ever! We booked the house sitting option and Katie was able to let our kitties out for even longer than expected. She went above and beyond. She let us know when food was running low and even offered to go get it!! Constantly sent us awesome photos and really seemed to bond with our furry babies.”
“Stacey is such a trouper! She made it up to our place despite the treacherous road due to the snow storm. She took great care of our guys and even took pretty great photos of them every day. Leaving pets while we travel is stressful and Stacey was such a great sitter and took all of that worry away from us. We really appreciate her!”
About: I absolutely love dogs all shapes and sizes, when you book with me your dog will be in a safe and loving environment with me. it’s important to me that any dog i’m with at the time will have a fun and enriching environment with me and the time we’re spending together. I have experience training puppies and pet sitting puppies. I’ve done extended petting sitting stays and have done petting sitting with multiple animals, i’ve done week long stays with 6+ animals, so I can handle a big crew if you have it. I have experience with farm animals and horses as well if that’s ever needed as well! I’m currently working part time at a doggie daycare and boarding facility, I absolutely love working with the dogs and am just looking to do some more in my free time. I look forward to hearing from you :) If you use me for pet sitting you can expect your dog to be fully safe! I will follow your directions and expectations to the tea because I know what it’s like to have to leave your dog with someone and not wanting to have to worry about your loved one
“Ashley was fantastic in taking care of our cat. She also helped us with the mail and plants. We’ll definitely reach out to her again when we need a cat sitter. Highly recommended!”
“My husband and I knew upon meeting Tara for the first time that she was the perfect fit with our cat, Charlie. Charlie is very shy and usually hides when people come to visit. However, this was not the case when Tara entered our home. Tara did a top-notch job taking care of Charlie during her drop in visits over a period of one month. We were so happy when she sent up pictures and updates. Tara is reliable, kind, professional, and a true animal lover. Cats can be messy with the litter, etc. But with Tara on the job, we came home to a very neat home and well-fed, content cat. We will definitely seek Tara services again. Furthermore, we highly recommend her. Thanks a million, Tara.”
“Hunter was reliable and trustworthy. She took great care of my cats while I was away. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I would definitely use her again in the future!”
“This is the third time that Jared has taken care of my cat while we were away. Once again, excellent care and service. Reliable and attentive. He did everything I asked. I will be booking Karina and Jared again later this summer!”
“She was awesome taking care of our cats! She’s very good at giving oral medication so I felt comfortable with her giving meds to our boy. Thank you so much!!”
“Katie took such good care of my kitties! She stopped in prior to our scheduled pet sitting to meet my cats, which was much appreciated. She did everything I asked, and made an effort to give my kitties some playtime, even though they were being shy. She provided lots of pics and feedback after each visit, which I love to see, as I worry about my girls when I can’t be home with them. We will definitely be using her services again! ?”
“Lynsey is an excellent choice for any pet owner who wants their pet to be well loved while they're away. She takes the time to make your pet comfortable, gives all the pets and even took care of our crested gecko! Lynsey is a true lifesaver and we were able to rest easy knowing our cat Lynx was in her responsible and knowledgeable care. Thank you Lynsey!”
About: I have grown up with pets in my house all my life! Whether it be cats, dogs, chickens, goats, you name it! We rescued all of our fur babies so I have seen and experienced a lot in the animal world. I am currently a full time college student and I work part time. I can drop in before school, before I go to work, and when I am out of work! I can also do other times as long as we stay in communication. As I will be doing drop in and walks I will keep your animals leashed at all times unless specified differently so there are no escapees. I love giving my fur babies treats so if you provide me with the certain kind your babies can have I will gladly give them a treat for being adorable!
“Ashley was awesome taking care of my babies one of them has extreme medical needs and she was great with her pictures were amazing. She cleaned my house. She cleaned the cat boxes. She’s very communicative. I will definitely ask her back again. She was timely and my babies loved her. Thanks dooo much Ashley”
About: I have a strong understanding of feline nutrition and know how important it is to keep cats mentally stimulated and comfortable in their space. I’ve also supported a mama cat through pregnancy, delivery, and raising her kittens. I treat every cat like my own and make sure they feel safe, understood, and well cared for while you’re away. 🤍
About: I love all animals, but I am a cat person. I believe that people who say “cats are just fine on their own. Leave out food and they won’t even notice that you’re gone for two weeks“ just fundamentally don’t understand cats. I have lived with shy cats, grumpy cats, sweet dumb cats, aggressive cats, sometimes all at once. They are all individuals and that’s how I approach each one. I don’t believe that any cat wants to be taken out of the place where it feels most comfortable, its home, and therefore I do not offer boarding. I would love to meet your cat in your home and take care of both its basic needs (clean litter boxes, food and water) and its need for companionship and enrichment. Some cats don’t mind a stranger and they’ll be happy to play with me. If your cats are anything like my boys Moose and SquirreI, I won’t even see them because they will hide the moment I walk in the house. That’s fine. I have no problem sitting quietly and allowing them to get used to my presence. Either way, your cats will get the benefit of the full amount of contracted time. I will never just feed, scoop, and run. I have given medications to cats and if your cat needs that, we can discuss it. As we both know, sometimes it is easier said than done so any special requirements are something that we would need to talk about before the booking.
About: I’ve had multiple cats throughout my life. I love them a lot. I know all the ways cats love to play and just hang out. I also am good with nervous cats and have helped cats work through some stressful times like moving. Even timid cats usually warm up to me fairly quickly a lot of times people will be surprised when their cat comes out to me. I own a small dog who acts like a cat because he grew up with them and it’s very amusing.
About: I enjoy the outdoors and taking a walk. Your dog will have lots of play time, as well as fun, treats, food and water. I just like having a dog around to keep each other company so they are not home alone for long time period, you know getting into mischief we can do that together and have more fun haha. I currently do not have any dogs but will get one when the time is right. I have enjoyed and attended dog shows showing for obedience and agility(Dalmatians). I also attended and passed the canine good citizenship test with my first dog. My second dog was adopted and we did agility and was a lot of fun. A dog is a companion in which you meet other dog friendly people. I'm currently working full time but would have time to care for your fur kid/s before and after work, get mail, water plants, check house. I do not have a fenced yard so would take your fur kids out on a leash at your home or if fenced and you chose for them to be loose at your home.
“April was terrific to work with. She sent me a daily update and pictures and I knew my kitties were safe with her. Excellent communication also. I highly recommend April to care for your pets.”

Happy to walk, care for and house pets overnight. Lots of love for cats and dogs. Our last cat was an indoor cat, but we have had outdoor ones as well. Happy to walk and play with dogs inside and out.
About: Hi y'all! I am an all around animal lover. My girls and I take any dogs that we are watching on walks with us every night, we have lots of fun. Pets are allowed on the furniture, unless you state explicitly state you don't want them to be. I prefer not to kennel overnight, but there are always exceptions to the rule! I am able to help with puppies and older pups alike; age is not an issue. Please ask any questions you may have for me, thank you so much we can’t wait to meet you! I am currently working part time but I am always available for nightly drop ins or for any early morning stops on my way in. I am always respectful of your safety protocols, gates are always double and triple checked, doors are always checked to be shut correctly. Food and water levels are consistently monitored. Instructions are always followed to the letter.
“Michelle and her husband are wonderful. I am so lucky to have found such kind and caring people to take care of my dog. They send picture updates throughout the day which is nice to have and provide a doggie "report card" at the end of the day as well. I know my dog is in good hands when I drop him off. I would highly recommend them.”

“We met Katie for a meet and greet and scheduled a dog walk together. I have 2 rescues who are both anxious and get nervous with new people. She has been very patient with them and asked lots of questions to better understand their behaviors. Katie has been great with our dogs and they are warming up to her. I will definitely be booking with Katie again.”
“Stacey is so incredible!!! She is communicative, flexible, and so kind. She took amazing care of my girl and went above and beyond to be helpful. A bear knocked over our recycling bin and she picked it all up, she brought a package in, and most importantly she made our dog so so happy!! We will call Stacey any time we need a little help with Blue going forward!”
About: What started as a personal challenge—overcoming my childhood fear of dogs—became a journey of love. By volunteering with service dogs, I discovered my passion for all kinds of dogs, big and small. Now, I bring that same warmth and dedication to caring for your pet. My Schedule is Flexible, Reliable, and Full of Love for Your Fur Babies! I work part-time, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. Most weekdays are wide open for visits, playtime, or overnight stays. Whatever your furry family member needs to feel happy, safe, and loved-i'm your sitter! Anxious or rambunctious, I'm patient and caring. Let’s make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve!

About: I’ve been dog sitting for people my whole life. From shitzu’s, to lab mixes. I also have two rescues of my own who I’ve worked very hard with to make comfortable and feel loved after there trauma. I am currently a full time teacher so I’m available mostly weekends. Come summer time, other than a part time job I’ll be available often. I have two high energy dogs who love to play. We do not have a fenced in yard, but it is large with woods all around. We also have a lead set up for dogs who are a flight risk.
About: When I was 10 I joined a dog training program through my school, that’s where my training experience began. I provide a premium, low-volume dog care experience for owners who want their dog to have more one-on-one attention in a calm home environment. Your dog won’t be just one of many in a crowded space. I keep my care more personal so each dog gets plenty of attention, supervision, and outdoor time. I have a big yard for dogs to enjoy, but my indoor space is smaller, so I am very intentional about keeping the number of dogs low. That means I can focus on your dog’s comfort, safety, and overall experience much more closely. This is a great fit for dogs who do better with a quieter setting and for owners who value quality of care over high-volume boarding or daycare. I generally only take one to a few dogs at a time unless they are from the same household. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs. I took care of my childhood dog for 17 years of her long, beautiful life. I have experience working with small senior dogs specifically and I know all the little things that they appreciate. I also have experience with large dogs and can handle very big strong dogs. I also love hiking with dogs so if you have an energetic dog you need to burn off energy I am your guy. I have an acre yard with a fenced in front yard in a nice area. Any dog that boards with me would be treated like my own dog and let out very frequently to go to the bathroom and play outside. I would always remain home with your dog. Thank you for considering me and I hope to meet your pet soon! I’m currently a fully remote student so I am fully available. If I board a pet I will be with them full time to make sure they receive the care they deserve. I have a fenced in front yard, and a good amount of unfenced land in the back. My dog is very friendly and would keep your pet great company. He loves dogs and cats. I can easily crate your dog if needed, but would love to give your dog the pet experience and treat them like my own. I live in a nice are and have great access to the woods nearby as well.
About: I grew up with dogs and have always loved caring for them. I currently have a mix breed, Marley who is my little sunshine. I enjoy hiking, running and watching cartoons with him haha. I know what its like finding someone who is trustworthy to care for my dog when I need to travel for work or personal vacation. It can be a bit stressful looking for a good sitter but I can assure you that your dog will be in good hands.
About: I have over 15 years of personal experience caring for dogs of various breeds and sizes, including a Yorkshire Terrier, a Corgi, a Spaniel, and a Cane Corso. Living with both small companion dogs and strong large breeds has given me a deep understanding of different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. I am comfortable handling everything from delicate toy breeds to powerful guardian dogs. I understand structure, consistency, and the importance of calm, confident energy — especially with larger breeds. I provide safe, attentive care including walking, feeding, playtime, and following detailed instructions. I treat every dog with patience, respect, and genuine affection, as if they were my own. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. I am available early in the morning through 2:00 PM on weekdays. On Saturdays and Sundays, I am available after 3:00 PM for afternoon and evening visits. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure each pet receives attentive, unrushed care and consistency. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured, and clean environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special instructions you provide. I understand the importance of supervision, especially with larger or more energetic breeds. I am attentive to behavior, body language, and stress signals to ensure every dog feels secure and respected. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own.
About: Ive had pets my whole life, from reptiles to birds to our furry friends. Ive done it all!

I am very detail oriented when it comes to our companions, I will adjust to the schedule you have set for them! As a pet owner i understand the importance of keeping your pets comfortable and happy.
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience and genuine love for dogs of all ages. I worked at a dog kennel for two years, where I cared for dogs with all kinds of temperaments, ages, and needs. I’m experienced with senior dog care and I’m comfortable with puppies too—whether it’s crate training, potty breaks, or just keeping up with their energy! Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine since I have a pretty open and flexible schedule. I’m most available Tuesday through Friday between 11:30 AM and 4:30 PM, which works great for midday walks or drop ins. That said, I’m always happy to discuss and make arrangements that work best for you and your pet! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort always come first. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and personality to make sure they feel secure and loved. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and follow any instructions you provide whether that’s feeding schedules or favorite toys. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you're away.
“Ashley is a delight. She was very communicative and caring about our elderly dog with special needs. We only needed her to come and take him for a walk, but he is blind and deaf and also wears a diaper. She let us know when she got to our house and sent pictures afterwards. We felt very comfortable with her and will definitely be using her again.”
About: I’ve cared for many different animals throughout my life, including mammals, birds, reptiles/amphibians, exotics, farm animals, and wildlife. I’ve cared for pets of friends and family. I have experience with overnight sitting in the pet’s home. I also have experience caring for senior and special needs animals. I spent 6 months as a volunteer at a vet clinic assisting with exams and surgical procedures, and I am currently exploring career paths in animal sciences and wildlife rehabilitation. I have lots of availability to care for your fur babies! I work part-time as a waitress while exploring different careers in the field of animal behavior and sciences. I have the flexibility to accommodate to your schedule and needs. I can be available on most weekends and holidays. I also accept same-day bookings. I prefer to care for animals in their own home where they feel most comfortable. As well as walking in areas they are familiar with. I always make sure to maintain pet safety in the home such as keeping doors/windows/gates shut and keeping hazardous items and toxic plants out of reach or locked away.
About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs since I was 14. I was a free-lance dog walker for my neighborhood so I’ve had plenty of experience with many kinds of dogs! I go to school part-time so I’ll be able to take care of your pups as long as I’m not in school. I enjoy taking dogs on walks as I enjoy being active. I have plenty of toys to keep your pups busy as well as my own dog, Tucker, to keep them company! I will play with them and give them as much attention and love as I can.
“Karina is the best dog sitter that I’ve had. She is very professional and always communicates. I have been though a few dog sitters so far, and she is definitely the best. Don’t be afraid to give her a booking you won’t regret it!”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a little girl. I have had two long term jobs at different dog kennels. Which then resulted in me being able to acquire multiple pet sitting jobs. I have experience in pet sitting, dog walking, dog daycare, and some dog training! I am currently a stay at home mom. Both of my children will be starting school soon and I would love to get back into doing what I love with pets! I will make sure to spend as much time with your pet as you desire. Making sure they get all the love,food,treats and playtime they need to make everyone happy!
About: I grew up with as many as 5 cats and two dogs at a time. I am familiar with caring for most pets including rodents and fish. I work from home so taking a break to walk or feed pets is not an issue. There is even some extra time to give them some attention too! My dog has free roaming permission in the backyard and we also have a cage for large dogs available. For visiting dogs we walk them on a leash since they are not familiar with the area.
About: I’ve had and taken care of cats my whole life. Friends and community members have relied on me for all of their pet care needs. I currently work a part time job with non-consistent hours. My best availability is on the weekends but I can make any weekday hours work. I do not offer any doggy daycare or boarding services, however I can effectively offer all pet care services from staying at your house to keep your pets happy to stoping by and walking, feeding, and having play time with your pet.
About: My name is Kristina Leigh. I recently turned 42 years old ( in human years) I have spent the majority of these years sharing my life with dogs. I have experience working as a groomer, working at a pet store, and I also have Emergency 24hr Veterinary Hospital Clinic experience. I took classes at Northwestern CT Community College in the Vet Tech program. I have loved 3 amazing senior sweet rescue pitbulls throughout my adult life, and countless four-pawed friends in between. I am not a stranger to exotic reptiles, amphibians, and small rodents of all varieties. This includes my lifetime passion for fresh and salt water fish care. I am very calm, gentle, and patient when it comes to caring for senior dogs and nervous pups. I have basic first aid pet knowledge, but most importantly I have common sense. The most important thing to me personally, is to completely put your mind at ease. Your pets are in great hands. I know and understand as a pet parent the worry that often comes with being away from your pet. That being said, I can guarentee that proper care, respect, and instructions will be shown and followed with your animal and within your home. But I am certain that you will feel at ease by how your pet behaves in my presence. I love animals, and they know it. Trust and respect are incredibly important for me when I am choosing who cares for my pet, my dog is my little chubby dumpling princess. The absolute best is what I ask and expect, and that is what I give to your own little buddies. I have my own transportation, and can accommodate new changes in schedule in a reasonable amount of time. My schedule is flexible, and so is my character. I am more than willing to help create a solution when one feels impossible. All you need do is ask. Things happen; life happens, and hopefully you will feel that choosing me as your pet's Auntie makes things much easier for you. I take the safety of your furry family member very seriously I have training experience walking bouncy puppies, "pully" pooches, and slow older doggos. I am patient, calm, and know my surroundings at all times during the walks. I can help teach your dog proper leash etiquette if it is wanted I absolutely love spending time around dogs and animals. This is my passion, and if I could do this for free everyday, I would. I have plenty of time to put towards the care of animals. I have a detailed schedule that I follow, and everything is organized and on track. I understand that while caring for animals, extreme care must be taken. I have been called over-protective when it comes to my own pets. But it is for their own protection. Unfortunately, they lack the legal rights that humans have. I am very careful when other animals are around (especially leash-less wildcards coming in hot towards myself and the dog I'm walking ) therefore, it is my choice to not allow strangers to pet any animal I am caring for. Similar to working dogs. There are too many negative examples of pets becoming unfairly removed from their homes because of some untrue accusation. An example is this: You've definitely seen dogs " smiling" to their owners. Some dogs just learn that behavior, and it is far from aggressive behaviour in their minds. Now say someone asks to pet your dog on a walk. The dog smiles, and it is misinterpreted as aggression, person is scared, maybe they act in a way that is embarrassing once they realize they aren't in danger. Maybe they create a scenario in their minds where they were bitten and then they want the " violent" dog put down. and then that is where the mess begins. Safety first!

“Nicole did a great job with Sticky while we were away. She sent many photos in addition to responding quickly with updates when I checked in. Her dog, Bailey, seemed very relaxed with another dog in the house, and no signs of stress for either dog, even with a baby in the house. Very inpressed!”
“Kristina was WONDERFUL!! She was incredibly accommodating and flexible which made everything so easy for us. My dog loved her and was so happy to spend time with Kristina too, so it’s a no brainer to book her!”
“Alan and Luis took such great care of our dog, Hunter. They communicated often and provided a safe and fun environment for Hunter and all dogs. Highly recommend and will be rebooking when we travel”
“Karina always does a wonderful job of taking care of our big, shy pup. She has made him feel so comfortable in her home, and now when we take him to stay he runs to greet her, so he has really adopted her into his family! Also, Jared has been fantastic in encouraging Sancho to feel relaxed. We can't thank them both enough for giving us peace of mind for our dear one, when we have to be away.”
“Katie watched our dog, who is almost 2, for a couple of nights recently. I was very comfortable dropping him off and leaving him with her and her family. I love the at home experience she gave him, as opposed to kennels. Our dog is on special food and she took great care to make sure he didn’t get into her pets’ food. We will definitely use Katie again to take care of Linus.”
“Rory had not spent a night away from home since we got him over a year ago. Maria and her family did a wonderful job taking care of him. He very much enjoyed his visit and playing with the other dogs.”
“Kathryn & Jeremy were great! Their house was cozy and friendly. Our corgi loved playing with their kids and he was definitely tired when he got home. They were great at communication and we felt our dog was safe. Will book with them again!”
“James took care of Oreo for 2 weeks during the holidays, he was always responsive to messages and send pictures every couple of days! Definitely would recommend! Thanks for all the help”
“I recently had Gail take care of my dog, Dior, for a week while I was on vacation. The bond Gail and her dog Ginger formed with Dior was heartwarming. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dog, providing plenty of love and attention. Dior came home happy and well-exercised, which is a testament to the great care they received. Safety was a top priority for me, and I felt completely at ease knowing Gail was watching over my pet. [He/She/They] followed all instructions regarding feeding and I appreciated the regular updates and photos that kept me in the loop. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience with Gail. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“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.”
“My puppy was very happy to stay with Jenn. I loved getting updates and photos. I felt secure leaving my precious dog with her. I interviewed other sitters and correctly knew Jenn would be great. She was!”
“Lynsey was incredibly accommodating and made sure that Zora was coming into a friendly environment. Her pup Stan got along great with mine, and she had an ample, secure space that the pups could run around in.”
“Laura was great with our pups! She accommodated our pick up and drop off times and sent lots pic pictures and videos. Her house is very nice and she has a big backyard on a lake. My dogs were so happy and at home with her.”
“MJ and Tyler were super responsive, very pleasant people to interact with, and Rosie seems to have had a great time with them. They sent lots of photos during her stay, which I loved. I plan on booking them again!”
“5 stars!! Haoran is absolutely amazing! She is extremely thoughtful and took the time to get to know us and Shilo. She asked lots of questions to make sure Shilo felt right at home. Shilo became best friends with her dog. Highly recommend and we look forward to booking with her again!”
“Noel, his wife and son were very attentive to Khloe’s needs even before her arrival. It is obvious that they have passion for what they do and strive to give fur babies the best experience. Khloe thoroughly enjoyed playing in their spacious yard, running thru their fire hydrant sprinkler and lounging on their comfy couch. I received great updates with pictures included. This family offers peace of mind that your fur baby is in the best hands and surrounded by love. We will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Wendy was amazing with my baby my dog came home very happy had no issues extremely accommodating and understanding this was very last minute due to my circumstances and she took my baby in no problem very happy with my choice would recommend her a million times over 🐶🩷”
