“My Dante loves Summer and her son. I was worried he would act funny after picking him up from their home but he was like I never left. Thank you Summer! Dante is my Baby and to know he was well cared gave me all the peace of mind I could have during my time away. I would have them take care of Dante again with no doubt. ❤️”
“Briana was so nice with my girls. Every time I asked her about Mila and Lucy, she sent pics about them. She and her family are really nice people and for sure she will be my sitter in the future. All my worries disappeared working with her!”
“My dog Sam had such a great stay with Joanne. He is normally very nervous about meeting new people, but he took to Joanne right away, and he loved playing with her dog Juno. Joanne has a nice big back yard that is fenced, so Sammy got lots of outdoor time (which he loves). She kept me up to date each day on how he was doing by sending photos. I definitely plan to use Joanne again in the future, and I recommend her highly as a sitter.”
“Jean (Charles) and his wife are absolutely amazing with Luna! She is always so excited to stay with them, and I peace of mind knowing she’s getting the absolute best care possible.”
“Very nice people. I can tell my dog had a great time staying with them.I love how they update me too everyday about my dog. I will definitely book them again”
“We were nervous to leave Scout with anyone for a week, but as soon as we met and spoke with Vely, we knew he’d be in good hands. We really appreciated that Vely required vaccination records, and that she was careful to introduce Scout to one other dog at a time. She shared daily photos and videos with us of all the fun he was having in her big backyard as well as down time inside. He had a blast and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing he was safe and happy. Vely also gave him a bath and trimmed his nails the day before we picked him up (a service she offers) — she did a great job, so we came home with a clean, sweet-smelling dog. We would have no reservations about asking Vely to care for Scout again. She’s thoughtful, thorough, professional, and great with dogs! Thank you, Vely!”
“I feel really comfortable leaving my dog Mia with Angelica. She's so easy to work with. You can tell she's really loves taking care of your pets. Mia has fallen in love with Angelica. Will definitely use Angelica again.”
“The most attentive sitter that we have ever book. Didn't just crate the dogs for three days. She and her family treated our pets as if they owned and loved them. Keep me posted on their daily activities. I felt so comfortable allowing my pets stay with Vanessa. Thank you so much until next time.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“I’ve been using Brittanie for doggy day care and boarding. My dog Bandit gets so excited to go to her house. He always comes home tired from having fun playing all day.”
“As always, my kitties and my Chorkie - Henry - loved their visits with Cyd Marie. They are well-loved and cared for when I have to leave town. No worrying for me while Cyd Marie is taking care of my "kids".”

“Jani was great with Junior. He only stayed with her for the day. He can be fickle in his old age but loves people. She did great getting him comfortable in her home and giving him attention but also his freedom when needed. I received constant pictures which is always great! Will use Jani again if needed!”
“Jose was great. We did the daycare option for our elderly fur baby. He ensured that she was in a space where she would be comfortable. Jose took her for walks and sent pictures and videos of her. Also, Jose communicated any changes in the stay. I appreciated that he alerted me to 2 dogs that would be joining that evening in advance of our arrival. I’m always nervous to leave my baby with someone new but Jose is the exactly the type of person I hope for when I do.”

“Cassidy was very accommodating, flexible and kind with my fur babies. It was their first time left alone all day in a very long time and my first time using the app and Cassidy was patient with my new navigation of this process and tender hearted to my lonely doggie. Warmed my heart that she sat with my girl and encouraged her to eat her meal even though she was missing her momma. I even needed to add an extra walk when my day went unexpectedly late, and this was no issue.”

I have two super friendly Shih Tzus. They love meeting new furry friends and are great at keeping other dogs company! But if your pup prefers their own space, no worries I can easily keep them separated to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I don’t crate dogs unless it’s requested by the owner. I’m happy to follow your pup’s usual routine, whether that means long walks, playtime, trips to the park, or just some relaxing cuddle time. My home is full of love, and your pup will be treated like part of the family!

About: Growing up we always had pets and learned how to take care of them. Over the years I have had two ferrets and two large dogs (not at the same time!) Recently I have been doing more pet and house sitting and volunteering for the SPCA. For the SPCA I have walked dogs of all breeds and sizes and helped with adoption and fundraising events. My schedule is very flexible right now. I am talking online classes and can adjust my schedule as needed. That frees me up for walking, drop in visits or sitting. When house sitting, I respect your home and your wishes as a guest. Share with me all the details about how to best care for your furry family members so that I can make the time you are away the most comfortable for them. Currently I am not available for day care or boarding.

“My Dante loves Summer and her son. I was worried he would act funny after picking him up from their home but he was like I never left. Thank you Summer! Dante is my Baby and to know he was well cared gave me all the peace of mind I could have during my time away. I would have them take care of Dante again with no doubt. ❤️”
“Briana was so nice with my girls. Every time I asked her about Mila and Lucy, she sent pics about them. She and her family are really nice people and for sure she will be my sitter in the future. All my worries disappeared working with her!”
“Mikalyn was a great sitter to my little girl Molly. She was open and honest about the stayover. Don't hesitate to use Mikalyn as she is everything advertised by her biography. Thanks again Mikalyn for being a great sitter!”
“Very nice people. I can tell my dog had a great time staying with them.I love how they update me too everyday about my dog. I will definitely book them again”
“We were nervous to leave Scout with anyone for a week, but as soon as we met and spoke with Vely, we knew he’d be in good hands. We really appreciated that Vely required vaccination records, and that she was careful to introduce Scout to one other dog at a time. She shared daily photos and videos with us of all the fun he was having in her big backyard as well as down time inside. He had a blast and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing he was safe and happy. Vely also gave him a bath and trimmed his nails the day before we picked him up (a service she offers) — she did a great job, so we came home with a clean, sweet-smelling dog. We would have no reservations about asking Vely to care for Scout again. She’s thoughtful, thorough, professional, and great with dogs! Thank you, Vely!”
“I feel really comfortable leaving my dog Mia with Angelica. She's so easy to work with. You can tell she's really loves taking care of your pets. Mia has fallen in love with Angelica. Will definitely use Angelica again.”

“Angela and Jorge were so good with our poodle Bailey! They made us feel comfortable in their home and Bailey to feel welcome. The communication was superb and we felt she was well cared-for and happy. We will definitely use them again.”
“I couldn’t ask for the most perfect person to watch my Roman. Rom is a lot to deal with sometimes and requires lots of patience and she was that and more. Bri would send lots of updates and pictures during our time away from Roman and which was much appreciated!! She was very easy to communicate with as she well.”
“Susan was great with our super hyper pup! She sent lots of pictures throughout his stay and made him feel at home. He was exhausted when he got home from having so much fun with her dogs! :)”

“Cherisse was a home away from home for my three dogs. They loved her and her pups! She was extremely attentive and responded to all of my questions almost immediately. She also sent high quality pictures and videos every day so I could see their beaming smiles?. I could not have asked for a better sitter and will most definitely rebook!”
