“Sylvia was great with Tazzy. She was very thorough on our initial meet and great, and had her notes ready when we brought Tazzy for her weekend getaway. We felt very comfortable leaving her in good hands.”
“Carlie was a pleasure to work with and was super communicative with me for our Goldens care...She was also flexible and understanding when an unexpected sickness arose (which was not related to her care in any way) Would recommend her and will use her again for sure!”
“Staying with Kelly and her family was perfect for Eva. She and Kelly’s dog, Charlie had a great time together. Just as I had hoped, she was totally wiped out from all the running and playing.”
“I’m very happy with the care provided by Megan. She’s very much in tune with dog personalities and likes/dislikes. She has a young daughter who is also in tune with dogs and is a good playmate. Megan was flexible and responsive with communications, sending pictures. I’d be very comfortable asking for help again in the future.”
“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.”
“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. !!!!!”
“Margit and Bill are great with our dog Peaches. They send lot of picture and Peaches has a great time with her other dogs. Peaches feels right at home!! We have been very lucky to have such a great environment for our dog.”
“Mary Sue was great!! She was very attentive and communicative on our recent trip. We received daily updates and pictures, and we felt confident that she was taking excellent care of our fur baby. We would absolutely plan to use Mary Sue again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone considering reaching out to schedule.”
“Michelle was very attentive to our dog Mickey and took him on many walks which they both enjoyed. We loved getting lots of photos of Mickey and, when we picked him up, he was brushed so nicely that he almost looked groomed.”
“I’m very glad we found Kendra to watch our little buddy. He is usually very shy, but Kendra quickly got him to come out of his shell and I could tell he had lots of fun with her. Thanks Kendra!”
“Neena and her family did an amazing job welcoming my dog , Rosie into her home . Neena kept me informed about her stay and I felt totally at ease having her there . She was totally professional all the way . So happy to have found her to care for my dog when I was away .”
“Maria was absolutely fantastic with our dog during our week‑long vacation near Fenwick Island. She treated our pup like her own — daily walks, tons of attention, and consistent updates with pictures every day. Her home was spotless, and the fenced‑in backyard was perfect for safe outdoor time. Communication was top‑tier from start to finish. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such great hands. Highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for truly exceptional care.”
“They were great! They kept my wife and I informed of the dogs wellbeing everyday with photos and text. We had a late pick up on Sunday due to our drive and they were very accommodating.”
“Always an excellent experience. Our Gingy girl loves going to Janice's and we love the peace of mind we have working with Janice. She asks for vaccination records and checks in to confirm all the details - it's so comforting to know our dog is in such good care and that she maintains a high standard. We 1000% recommend Janice.”
“Can’t say enough how well our Sally was treated on her vacation from us! Irena and her family welcomed Sally as one of their own while we were away! Irena sent photo updates to us and we knew our girl was being well taken care of! Vacationing in Ocean City at a pet-unfriendly place? Bring your furbaby to Irena during your stay. Live in Ocean Pines or thereabouts? Irena is the perfect person to take in your beloved while you’re away!”
“Hands down one of the best sitters out there-period! Not only did Samantha agree to board my two dogs on short notice, she went above and beyond to care for one of them who unexpectedly obtained additional medical needs the night before my travel. What could have been an incredibly stressful (or non-existent) trip became one of the most stress-free trips due to Samantha’s care. I received daily updates (with photos/video) and I’ve never seen my dogs so happy away from home. She’s got a spacious fenced-in yard and a well-maintained area for the dogs to play and stay. I couldn’t be happier or more thankful for Samantha’s care. Book her now-you won’t find anyone better!”
“Kate was wonderful and Mr. Peanut settled in quite quickly with her AND her two own dogs. Peanut is very picky at who he likes and doesn't like. But he got along with the pack and as a doggie mom, that made me feel good. I will definitely use Kate again. As far as the Rover website, there looks to be some logistical issues. On my screen, it told me Kate was 82miles away, but a 30min drive. Please get that fixed. Rover for me was hard to use. I like simple. But Rover has all these twists and turns. For example, I was not allowed to just message sitters. I was forced to pick dates. I had been looking for a new babysitter for Mr. Peanut since we just moved, but Rover made me wait til I needed someone asap, which made my experience stressful. Not good. We should be able to meet and talk to these folks before we book. After all, we are parents, and we all should be allowed to interview these sitters much like we would if they were our human children. Thankfully Kate worked out. But it could have gone a lot smoother. Thanks Kate (and daughter!)”

“Melanie did an excellent job caring for my two cats for a month when I was away on a trip. I trusted that she would make sure they were OK. My cats know her from previous cat sitting visits and they like herI I enjoyed seeing their photos looking happy and healthy (they hide when strangers come in the house). When I returned everything in the house was great. She texted to let me know the litter had run out so I ordered a box to be delivered through Amazon. The two litter boxes were clean when I hot home, which was nice after a long drive and unloading. She also went above and beyond the call of duty by bringing my mail inside and taking the trash bin to the curb once. I highly recommend Melanie for cat sit!”
“Kasey was absolutely AMAZING with our cats. - Pumpkin, Spice, Johnnie, and Daisy. From the moment we left, I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such loving, capable hands. She took the time to get to know each of their personalities, made sure they were comfortable, well cared for, and spoiled with attention (just the way they like it!). Kasey is reliable, communicative, and truly treats your pets like her own. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and that showed in every update and interaction. We came home to happy, relaxed kitties - which says everything. I can’t recommend Kasey highly enough. We are so grateful for her and will absolutely be using her again! 🐱🐱🐱🐱💕”
“Abby was an excellent caretaker for our two cats! She did an awesome job of communicating with us, sending regular updates, and truly taking the time to keep the kitties company. It gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“I left my little guy (cat) home for two weeks, for the first time. Jen was communicative during each drop-in, sent pictures, reported his behavior (even when he tried to follow her home!) and made me feel comfortable that he was in good hands my whole vacation. She even brought in boxes that we delivered. I will most definitely ask Jen for her services in the future!!”
“Carlie was amazing with our Binx! Our feeder went offline and she went into action! She posted photos and followed up with us to make sure we knew we didn’t have to worry. Can’t recommend Carlie enough!”
“Liz is an amazing pet sitter! She took care of my two cats Luna and Peach within a week’s notice, was on time, communicative, played with them, checked on their health, and sent pics each visit! You can tell she really cares about animals, I definitely recommend her. Thanks, Liz!”
About: Growing up in a home filled with the joyful barks of dogs and the gentle chirps of a parakeet, my love for animals started early. For over a decade, I've been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, caring for everything from playful pups and curious cats to turtles and farm animals. My passion doesn't stop at basic care—I'm an adventurer at heart and love taking dogs on outdoor escapades. Whether it's a leisurely walk through the park or a thrilling hike in the hills, I'm here to ensure your furry friend gets the exercise and excitement they crave (couch potatoes welcome too) and treat them like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work remotely with only an occasional in-office day (about once a quarter), so I’m home most of the day. I only leave briefly for the gym or occasional errands, allowing me to provide plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I treat every pet like family and follow their normal routine as closely as possible. Since I work from home, dogs get plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and provide regular photo updates for owners. My friendly, fully vaccinated dog enjoys having canine visitors, and introductions are always done safely.
“We were so fortunate to find Jacqueline! We booked her for a few-day boarding for our dog, Siberian husky, and drop-in visits for our cat, and were very pleased with both. We loved receiving daily picture updates. Jacqueline was even bringing our dog every time she was checking on our cat which meant a lot, since our dog had a chance to visit a familiar environment. I highly recommend Jacqueline for any of your pets care needs! She is experienced, reliable, responsive and patient!”
“Jacob did an outstanding job caring for our rabbit, Bunny, while we were away. He was incredibly communicative, responded quickly to every message, and always arrived on time, staying for the full visit. He had no trouble giving Bunny her medication, sent thoughtful updates and great photos after each visit, and made us feel completely at ease. We also came home to everything spotless and exactly as we had left it, which we really appreciated. We wouldn't hesitate to book Jacob again and will absolutely be asking him to watch Bunny the next time we travel!”
About: I’ve been around animals for years and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I have experience looking after dogs and other animals, making sure they’re fed, exercised, comfortable, and given plenty of love and attention. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to follow each owner’s instructions carefully. Whether that’s going for walks, playing, sticking to feeding schedules, giving medications if needed, or simply providing companionship, I’ll treat your pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to creating a safe, positive experience for every pet in my care. I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your furry family member, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how they’re doing. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs morning, afternoon, or evening visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I’m happy to work around their routine. I always make sure each pet gets my full attention and never feels rushed, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re happy and well cared for. treat every pet like they are my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I provide a calm and clean environment, follow each pet parent’s instructions closely, and keep routines as consistent as possible to help pets feel at ease. In a client’s home, I respect their space while making sure their pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m careful about safety, including keeping doors secure, monitoring pets closely, and communicating updates with owners so they know their furry family member is happy and well cared for.
About: Growing up I have always lived helping others and even helping animals. As a young kid, I grew up surrounded by all kinds of animals. Although my college plan is to become a special education teacher, I have always had a passion for animals. I really enjoy giving animals a voice and creating special bonds with them. Over the years my family has rescued over 8 animals including dogs and cats. I have been dog sitting for 3 years now for family friends and I am willing to do it for anyone in need. Animals have always left an impact on my life and I hope I do the same to them. I am not doing this for the money but to help many animals in need, as well as their owners. I really hope I am able to give endless love to you pet or pets. Thank you.
“Neena was great! Top notch communication and was able to build a relationship with my shy scaredy cat to give her her insulin shots! Will absolutely be booking again in the future.”
About: I was raised with cats, I had either one or two cats my whole life up until I was about 35. When it came time to get pets again, I chose guinea pigs due to the allergies of someone else in the home. I have had up to 5 guinea pigs at a time and currently have two when my daughter comes to visit I help take care of her two cats that travel with her. Additionally, I’ve just joined a pet/house sitting site and will be doing travel cat sits beginning in June. I’ve also helped to take care of my daughter’s rabbit when she used to live with me.
About: I know from experience what a challenge it is to find loving care for a family pet while you are away. I’m happy to provide that peace of mind for you. I’m currently retired and looking forward to filling my days with new animal friends, while getting a little exercise and helping my neighbors with their pet care needs. I currently have a beautiful black cat who likes to be queen of the castle so I’m happy to care for your pets in your home.
About: I have always had pets in life (dogs, cats, rabbit, hamsters, fish) and even adopted a dog to live with me when I was in college. The majority of my experience is with dogs and it spans all sizes and breads (from an 8-pound Maltese to a 70+ pound American Staffordshire Terrier). Over the last few years, I have worked with several animal shelters and opened my house to foster pets in need. During this time I have worked to train puppies and taken care of pets that required special attention due to illnesses. I have recently retired and now have plenty of time to live the dream of caring for and playing all day with your fur children. I live on a pet friendly street (cul-de-sac) and my house is properly secure to keep pets safe (gates, crates if needed) and happily engaged in activities.
About: I currently have three very different cats—one older and feisty, one who prefers people over pets, and one who’s a total snuggler—so I’m comfortable handling all types of feline personalities. I’ve also given medication, cleaned ears, and trimmed claws, so I’m confident with basic care needs. Whether your cat wants attention, space, or structure, I always meet them where they are and keep their routine calm and consistent.
About: I believe that dogs need walks!! Not just let out to go to the bathroom, but real physical activity! Dogs need to see the world around them - this makes there temperament better equipped to handle strangers and other animals. I have a sweet yellow lab who thinks she is human -- no, really!!!! My Jags wants to play all the time. She loves other dogs - we are a dog lovin family! I believe that giving dogs proper exercise is what may set me apart from other sitters -- Im a fast walker. I am a responsible adult who cares deeply for the comfort and well being of all animals!! Fresh water is a must as well. I can't wait to meet your pup! Thanks for considering me. I’m very flexible! I work from home and that allows me to be flexible with my schedule – thank you so much! I look forward to serving you! I care for each pet as my own- I love fitness and making sure dogs and cats get the care and attention they deserve and require!

“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!”
“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!”
“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!!”

“Jacqueline and William were great! We made a last minute reservation and they accommodated our drop off and pickup times which needed to be flexible since we were going kayaking and uncertain how long it would take. Will definitely use them again the next time we are Trap Pond.”
“Margit and Bill are very kind and our dog immediately felt comfortable at their home. They have 3 very sweet dogs and I was worried that our dog would be aggressive or difficult with theirs, but because her dogs were so chill, our dog was actually fine! Would definitely use their services again.”
“Megan was absolutely fantastic in taking care of our dog Benni!! She was very responsive, provided awesome updates & it was clear to us when we picked Benni up, that he had a wonderful time in her care!! I would highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy & responsive fellow pet lover to care for your fur baby!! She was great from start to finish & we will definitely utilize her in the future trips to the beach. Thanks so much Megan!”
“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.”
“She did amazing with our little pupper. We were nervous because this was our first time away from him, however he felt right at home — even took him on several beach adventures. She put our mind at ease and sent several pictures of him enjoying lots of cuddles and love from Joanna. Would definitely use her again if we were to come back to Atlantic City.”
“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 👌”
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.
“Samantha is absolutely wonderful!!! She watched our dog at her home for an entire day and he was able to play in her nicely fenced yard. He was able to play with her dogs, which he does not get to do as we live in an HOA. I plan on using Samantha in the future when we need someone to care for our dog. I highly recommend her!!!”
“I am in town trying to relocate and my dog Kona started having anxiety when I left. Since I am staying at my sisters condo I couldn't leave her howling. Irene quickly answered my request and took great care of Kona. She sent me pictures throughout the day of Kona just chilling. I am very happy and will use her again.”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats so I’m very aware of the care they need and I’m very passionate about keeping my pets happy. Right now I have 2 chihuahuas and a cat who I love unconditionally. In my free time I volunteer as a dog walker at the animal shelter to help those pets who are not as fortunate to be in a loving home. I would love to help keep your pets happy and safe while you are away. I’ve learned a lot through my work at the animal shelter on how to work with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Keeping pets feeling happy and loved will always be a big goal of mine because they deserve a good life. I work from home so I have a lot of flexibility during the day to take care of your dog or cat during the week! I currently have my own cat and he is very friendly towards all other animals including dogs of all sizes and ages that’s he’s met

About: I love animals and I have experience owning and caring for dogs and cats of any age! I worked at a cat cafe for a year and have a cat of my own, so I am used to being around animals all the time and taking care of them. I also have experience caring for dogs with special medical needs. I am unemployed so I am available anytime. However, please try to request my services at least a few days in advance so I can plan my schedule accordingly. I will always treat your pet with the love, care, and respect I give my own animal and ensure that they feel safe and comfortable in my care.
“We were first time users this past weekend. Our dog Jasper proved very difficult. Jennifer went above and beyond trying to bond with Jasper. She kept us informed of the situation. We appreciate her extra efforts ❤️❤️”
“Carlie was available last minute and we couldn’t have been more grateful. She was communicative and took lots of photos of our labs. I know our girls appreciated the let out and walk while we were out. Thanks again Carlie!”
“Highly recommend! We used Susan for 2 straight weeks to provide an extra walk for our golden retriever while my parents were watching her (we were away on vacation). Her communication was wonderful and put us at ease. Will definitely book her again.”
“Dina was great! She was very communicative, caring, and professional during our booking and was able to adapt to our last minute request. She did great with our large puppy and sent multiple pictures throughout their time. I would highly recommend her in the future!”
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats my entire life, and I currently have three cats and a puppy of my own. I’ve also had senior pets and pets with medical needs, so I’m completely comfortable giving medication and paying attention to signs of stress or discomfort. As a former elementary school teacher, I bring a calm, patient, and dependable approach to every visit. I always make sure pets feel safe, understood, and cared for—whether that means playtime, gentle company, or simply sticking to their normal routine. My goal is to make each visit stress-free for both you and your pet. I work from home part-time, so my schedule is very flexible throughout the week. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and cat care, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. While I don’t currently offer overnights or boarding, I’m able to stop by multiple times a day as needed. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping things familiar and stress-free. I stick to your normal feeding, walking, and play routines, give plenty of attention, and make sure water and litter boxes are fresh. I’m patient with shy pets and happy to give extra cuddles to the social ones. I treat your home and your pets with the same care I give my own.

“I needed someone to walk and feed my very energetic dog on short notice. Dave was very responsive, communicated well, and sent photos. I was worried my dog might be stressed being left alone all day, but when I returned, he seemed great! I would definitely recommend Dave and will use him again.”
About: I am a very compassionate and outgoing person who wants what’s in the best interest of your pet. I have a very calm demeanor which makes pets feel extremely comfortable.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, and parakeets, and my mom bred and showed dogs, so I learned early how important patience, consistency, and attentive care are for every pet’s personality and needs. As an adult, I’ve primarily cared for cats and currently have a diabetic cat of my own. I’m very experienced with glucose testing and monitoring, administering insulin injections, recognizing and managing hypoglycemic events, and giving calm, compassionate care to pets with medical needs. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets because I’m dependable, observant, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m recently retired, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care. While I do travel occasionally, my trips are planned well in advance and I keep my calendar updated. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walking, and I enjoy helping pets stay comfortable in their normal routine and environment while their owners are away. I only provide care in the client’s home because I believe many pets feel safest and least stressed in familiar surroundings. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, and comfort needs so I can provide calm, reliable care while you’re away. I’m especially experienced with cats and pets requiring medical attention, including diabetic care, glucose monitoring, insulin injections, and recognizing signs of hypoglycemia. I treat every home respectfully and communicate regularly with updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I was a Mom of 3 dogs, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust to take care of your pets. I currently work from home so that gives me the freedom to care for your pets. I can do morning, lunchtime and evening walks. I can do overnight stays. I will do a meet and greet to see what makes you and your pet comfortable. I will learn their schedule so I can keep them on their normal routine.

“I’m very happy with the care provided by Megan. She’s very much in tune with dog personalities and likes/dislikes. She has a young daughter who is also in tune with dogs and is a good playmate. Megan was flexible and responsive with communications, sending pictures. I’d be very comfortable asking for help again in the future.”
“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.”
“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. !!!!!”
“Neena and her family did an amazing job welcoming my dog , Rosie into her home . Neena kept me informed about her stay and I felt totally at ease having her there . She was totally professional all the way . So happy to have found her to care for my dog when I was away .”
“Maria was absolutely fantastic with our dog during our week‑long vacation near Fenwick Island. She treated our pup like her own — daily walks, tons of attention, and consistent updates with pictures every day. Her home was spotless, and the fenced‑in backyard was perfect for safe outdoor time. Communication was top‑tier from start to finish. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such great hands. Highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for truly exceptional care.”
“They were great! They kept my wife and I informed of the dogs wellbeing everyday with photos and text. We had a late pick up on Sunday due to our drive and they were very accommodating.”
“Always an excellent experience. Our Gingy girl loves going to Janice's and we love the peace of mind we have working with Janice. She asks for vaccination records and checks in to confirm all the details - it's so comforting to know our dog is in such good care and that she maintains a high standard. We 1000% recommend Janice.”
“Hands down one of the best sitters out there-period! Not only did Samantha agree to board my two dogs on short notice, she went above and beyond to care for one of them who unexpectedly obtained additional medical needs the night before my travel. What could have been an incredibly stressful (or non-existent) trip became one of the most stress-free trips due to Samantha’s care. I received daily updates (with photos/video) and I’ve never seen my dogs so happy away from home. She’s got a spacious fenced-in yard and a well-maintained area for the dogs to play and stay. I couldn’t be happier or more thankful for Samantha’s care. Book her now-you won’t find anyone better!”
“Debbie (and Tim) were so welcoming to our Jackson during a family beach trip. We were in need of sitting and boarding for a week and were lucky to have found them. They were easy to communicate and coordinate with for drop-off and pick-up. We even got a great tip from them to visit a local preserve with walking trails for Jackson (and kayaking on the Bay for our kids). Most importantly, Jackson had a great time with both of them. He didn't even want to leave 😂! Thanks for making his stay so wonderful and look forward to coming back on a future trip!”
“Collen was great. Wiyot is was so relaxed when I picked him up and he us usually a hyper type doodle. I would not hesitate to have Wiyot stay again. Thank you so much for a worry free visit.”
“Lori was so wonderful and caring with my dog Precious. I knew that she was in great hands while I was away. Lori treated Precious like family and made her feel right at home. I would highly recommend Lori to care for your dog!”
“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.”
“Christian is wonderful! She took such great care of my pup and was always sending photos and updates on him. I’ve never boarded him before and she was super communicative on how he was doing. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Jill was amazing! My pup came back a more relaxed dog after staying with Jill! I got lots of fun videos that made me feel good knowing Biscuit was having a vacation of his own! Thanks Jill!”
