“Jessica was great. She responded very quickly on very short notice. Felt very good dropping Leif off and Leif looked great picking him up. I would use this boarder again in the future.”


“We had a great first experience with Mary Sue, who we found through the Rover app. From start to finish, Mary Sue provided excellent care for our pup Roxie. She sent frequent updates and pictures, which put our minds at ease while we were away. It was clear that she treated Roxie like her own, and Roxie came home tired and happy. We are so grateful for Mary Sue's care and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a responsible and loving dog sitter.”

“Stephanie was awesome with our dogs! It was a last minute booking and she was accommodating with their different needs and energy levels. Stephanie sent pictures and was very communicative - I would definitely use her again!”

“Megan watched our Charlotte and kept us up-to date with her activities. She cared for Charlotte as if she was her own! This was definitely an upgrade to leaving her at a kennel. Megan is super kind and thoughtful. Our Charlotte loved her vacation so we could, stress free, enjoy ours.”

“Sylvia kept our nervous dog for three days and she was so patient and caring with her. We got updates during the visit with photos. She made sure she felt at home and knew all of her needs. Then we returned for another three days the following week and our dog was so excited to see her and relaxed right in with no anxiety. Sylvia is really wonderful and a fabulous dog sitter. I would highly recommend her.”

“Dory’s first stay with Micki went very well and Dory had a great time. We’re very pleased with the care that Micki provided and have booked Dory’s next stay with Micki. As pet parents, we are very comfortable leaving Dory with Micki and know that she will be safe, loved, and well cared for.”

I am very grateful to Sandee for taking my girls for the afternoon, which freed us up to do the necessary things related to purchasing a home. I won't hesitate to go back to Sandee and trust her with my precious fur babies. Thank you Sandee!!!!”

“We moved to the area recently and searched for a new pet sitter. My husband and I could not be anymore happier with the care Karen and Sean provided to our Molly!

About: I am a proud pup and kitty parent. I have been taking care of pets professionally sine 2005. I provide daily dog walking, doggie boarding and kitty pet sitting services in the Milton area. Fabulous references to attest to my quality care. Contact me for a free consult. I look forward to adding you to the Animal Lovers family! I accept dogs that are friendly to all dogs and humans. No aggressive behaviors. I also can only accept potty trained dogs. I can administer medications and only work outside the home part-time so can easily provide potty breaks and walks every 4 hours. My dog Benny is very friendly and loves doggie company! I am available for daily dog walking Monday thru Friday and petsitting 7 days per week. I am available for boarding as schedule permits as I only take 1 dog, dog family, at a time. I have a home in Milton with a 6 foot privacy fence. I have 1 pup, a Yorkie poo who is used to welcoming fun pup friends. I am never out of my home more than 4 hours when I have pup boarders. Your pup(s) is my priority and treated like a member of my family.
“Paige was great. She was available on short notice and was accommodating to a weird drop-off time due to bad weather. She was attentive to my animals needs and it was obvious my pup had a great time with her. She sent tons of pictures and videos and gave comprehensive daily updates. I would absolutely recommend this sitter and will be using her again in the future.”

“My first time boarding my pup and she had a great time! Susan and Rob are very sweet and clearly love dogs. They have a fenced yard where Harper got to play with their pup, Tug. She came home pooped! Thank you for taking such good care of her.”


“AIKO had a little separation anxiety and was quickly loved and preoccupied and went on with his stay .. there were numerous updates and quick response to any questions that I had concerning AIKO stay ! He made a new friend and met other dogs . I was please with the environment very welcoming and clean !! Relaxed environment as well I am beyond pleased and looking at future dates . Thanks again”

“We were very pleased with Cory, he kept me informed of how teddy was doing. Even though Cory has cats and teddy was not a fan of them he handle the situation great. !!!!!”

“Nacho is a very selective Chihuahua who immediately adored Nicole. He exhibited none of the signs of anxiety he generally does when he meets someone new (or even someone he has met several times). He accepted Nicole as one of his special people and behaved as well (if not better!) for her than he does at home. Nicole sent us photos of Nacho napping, taking walks and looking completely adorable while he was in her care; we could see how content he was and were able to have peace of mind while we were traveling. Nacho will definitely be staying with Nicole the next time we need a dog sitter.”

“Debby was a wonderful pet sitter! I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care and knew he was safe, happy, and well taken care of. She even checked in with a picture of him. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Michele and Paul were great! I was sent super cute pictures everyday! I love how they included Mayzie in everything they did while they had her! I will definitely use her again!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Henlopen Acres
“Extremely calm and knowledgeable. Knew exactly how to introduce our Boston Terrier to her own dogs. Everything went smoothly. Her home was immaculate and organized. She sent pictures frequently. Our dog looked extremely relaxed and happy in her home. She came home exhausted from playing in their large fenced in yard. I felt very safe, leaving our precious pup with Meghan.”

“Stephanie is really great with our Ginger! Dropping her off today, Ginger immediately showed how super happy to be there by wagging her tail. I can tell Stephanie enjoys spending time with pets. This was our second day with Stephanie and we will return. I highly recommend her.”

“Jessica is amazing with Fur babies. Very accommodating and professional. My Tug love going there. Its always a great day whenever he spends his day with her. Her dog Tashi is very good with other dogs. Tug's favorite retreat is his stay at Jessica's. Highly recommended 👌”

“Bob and Susan are a truly delightful couple who gave us a warm welcome along with their sweet & friendly Ridgeback, Abby. Their hospitality was sincerely gracious, kind and genuine. The three of them invited us in their home & made us feel like we were lifelong friends even though we just met them. We left our girl, Gertie with them for doggie daycare and enjoyed receiving texts and photos with updates of Gertie to let us know how she was doing. Bob, Susan and Abby's excellent pet sitting service exceeded all our expectations. We are”

“Liane is AMAZING! I have never used a service like this before and I was so nervous leaving my boy. She was so kind and trustworthy. She sent me pictures of him playing and was so gracious answering my texts. If I could give 10 stars, I would. I can’t thank her enough!”

“I cannot say enough great things about Michele! She has given me my life back! I have two little rescues that are highly reactive and do not like anyone, so consequently I have been unable to leave them. After talking with Michele and getting a sense of her experience and patience with rescue.dogs such as mine I decided to give her a try...and it went beautifully! My dogs had a great time with her and loved her...and cannot wait to go back again! Michele is truly not just very much a professional but is gifted with animals as well.”

“So glad to have found Christina to take care of our dog Lucky during our recent trip to the beach. She's warm and friendly and took care of Lucky as if he were her own. She communicated promptly and clearly. She was so flexible with our vacation schedule and sent us adorable pictures of Lucky throughout the day. I'd definitely rebook with Christina, no question.”


About: I have had dogs since I was a kid. I enjoy there company and since retired now I could not ask for a better thing to do every day. The unconditional love for pets is the best medicine in life. I walk everyday about 5 miles so walking your pet is a added plus. I so enjoy the companionship. I babysit my Friends dogs frequently and dog walk another friends daily while she is at work. Pets tend to make you happy and smile because they always are. I find that just that makes your life happier. I would love to meet your pet and give them great walks and playtime while you are away. Looking forward in meeting you. Until we meet ruff. Chow

“Neena responded right away and was available and gracious in regard to my last minute request! Neena was great at communicating and Daisy was happy and well cared for upon pick up! Would definitely book here again!”

About: I have had several dogs in my life through their entire life span. I recently lost my soul dog. Not ready to get another but because they bring me so much joy, I would love to take care of others. I have the time because I am retired. I also know the feeling of worrying that they are in the best care! I can assure you that they will be! I am retired for the most part. I teach yoga a few hours a week but I have plenty of time. I can take your dog for several walks, AM or PM. I do not have a fenced in yard but do have a very long leash to allow freedom in the yard. I also live in a great neighborhood with lots of dogs. My dog recently passed but we used to take lots of daily walks and had lots of interactions.
“Great communication! Clean and appropriate environment. Despite Axe's terrible anxiety, he loved Cory and never fussed one bit. We will definitely be using Cory's daycare again!”

“From the moment I met Colleen, I knew she would be a great pet sitter because my dogs immediately loved her!! I have a 2 year old Bernedoodle and 5 year old Bernise Mountain dog and Colleen welcomed them into her home like they were old friends! We happened to run into her while on a walk after we met and my dogs were so excited to see her. That told me everything I needed to know! I am one of those pet parents that is hesitant to leave my dogs with other people, but I feel so blessed to have found Colleen. I know I have found a true pet lover to watch my dogs if I must be away, and that gives me true peace of mind!!”


About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've never been without a pet, so caring for them is second nature. For many years I also volunteered as a foster, which taught me how to help nervous, shy, or recovering animals settle in and feel safe. Professionally, I'm a Registered Nurse. That means I'm comfortable giving oral medications, sticking to precise feeding and medication schedules, and noticing subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy that could signal a problem. Senior pets, special-needs pets, and animals recovering from surgery are in especially good hands with me. You'll get detailed updates and photos, and I'll follow your routine exactly as you'd do it yourself. My goal is simple: your pet stays calm and comfortable, and you get real peace of mind. I run my own care consulting business, so I have flexibility in my day and can plan visits around your pet's routine rather than squeezing them in. I keep a structured, organized schedule — a habit from nursing — so feedings, walks, and medications happen on time, every time. I'll confirm availability before each booking so I can give your pet my full attention. Your pet's safety is my top priority. My home has a fully fenced-in yard, so dogs can play, explore, and take potty breaks securely without ever being off-leash in an open area. I share my home with Murphy, my well-trained Goldendoodle. He's gentle and submissive, which makes him an easygoing companion for visiting dogs, including shy or nervous ones. He also has his own crate, so I can give each pet individual time and attention and keep things calm when a guest needs space.

“Janice is a great walker. Charlie can really move out on a walk and Janice kept up with him. Charlie looks out the window in anticipation of Janice's arrival, he looks forward to his walks. He's so happy when she gets here. She has no problem controlling him around other dogs and people, Charlie is being trained, we just got him from the SPCA a week before Janice started walking him. If you need someone who will learn about your dog and take care of them, contact Janice.”

“Nacho is a very selective Chihuahua who immediately adored Nicole. He exhibited none of the signs of anxiety he generally does when he meets someone new (or even someone he has met several times). He accepted Nicole as one of his special people and behaved as well (if not better!) for her than he does at home. Nicole sent us photos of Nacho napping, taking walks and looking completely adorable while he was in her care; we could see how content he was and were able to have peace of mind while we were traveling. Nacho will definitely be staying with Nicole the next time we need a dog sitter.”

“Debby was a wonderful pet sitter! I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care and knew he was safe, happy, and well taken care of. She even checked in with a picture of him. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Michele and Paul were great! I was sent super cute pictures everyday! I love how they included Mayzie in everything they did while they had her! I will definitely use her again!”

“Brenda and her family are great sitters. Beauty always loves her stay at their house. She loves the yard. And, she loves all the personal care. I would never hesitate to have Beauty stay with Brenda and her family.”

“I booked Cori very last minute after a confirmed Rover canceled on me. I was so happy to find her. She was super responsive right from the start of our communication and that never changed. She always replied to my questions within moments and sent me tons of pictures of my senior dog during his stay. I know he was well-cared for and got a lot of attention. He looked happy and relaxed in all of the photos. Thanks, Cori, for taking such good care of my old guy!”

“Bob was fantastic and his location is very convenient if you're staying in OC and can't bring your pup to your hotel. He sent lots of videos and photos throughout our stay, which we really appreciated, and he even gave our dog Lila some special gifts and treats. He was extremely responsive, caring, and accommodating. We'd book with him again if we're back in the area.”

“Gabrielle was great! I had to book last-minute and she was able to take my reservation on short notice, and she was great with my dog. She took her on multiple walks over the stay and when I came to pick Bug up she was happy and well taken care of”

“Christina and her family were great! We had to find a last minute sitter for our dog, Charlie, who we had never left with anyone but family before. We were nervous to leave her with someone we’d never met, but Christina eased all of our fears. We received multiple pictures every day of Char having a blast. She clearly had a great time when we picked and we would definitely have her stay with Christina again!”
