“Beyond satisfied with my experience. I was given updates often and sent pictures. Raven looked like she was having a blast. I definitely will be using Samantha and loubens again.”
“Launa & Ethan were absolutely amazing to our two little girls, Penny and Mayla, while we were away. Not only are they incredibly knowledgeable about anything and everything related to dogs, but Launa also sent us photos of our little nuggets every day. This thoughtful gesture made us feel so much more relaxed, knowing that Penny and Mayla were being well taken care of and temporarily part of their vacation family! We will definitely book again for any future trips and wholeheartedly recommend Launa & Ethan to anyone who loves their four-legged family members as much as their human family members!”

“Nicolette and her entire fam are rockstars in the pet sitting world! They were so loving and patient w/ my Sandy. They went above and beyond to make him feel at home and a part of the family. She sent regular updates and everytime she did Sandy looked so happy. I will def use her again in the future.”
“We had a last minute booking with Chris for an overnight stay. I could see right away that he loves animals! He was very communicative and sent several pictures, for which I was grateful.”

“Renee took excellent care of Ben, thank you! We are nervous let parents who left our fur child away for the first time, and the experience was great. We will be asking again in May, for another trip. 🐕”
“I can not recommend Katie and Patrick enough! They are absolutely wonderful and took care of my two large dogs for about a week over Christmas. They were recommended by other members of my family and they didn't disappoint. They have and awesome yard with lots of other dog friends and keep them all busy, playing, and occupied all day long. They send tons of photos and give updates each day so you don't have to worry about anything. Thank you so much for everything, Katie and Patrick!”

“Our dogs loved their time with Kim and she definitely treated them as her own. She communicated frequently and always kept me up to date on how they were doing. My grumpy little man who hates walks even seemed to enjoy walking with her. Her home was cleaner than a lot of homes I've done meet-and-greets at. And she was flexible when I had to adjust my pick up time. Thank you so much Kim!”
“Erica is always amazing with our dogs. My 3 yr old dog has really bad seperation anxiety. She seemed to love Erica and her family. Erica even sent me pics with her just chilling in the kitchen with her while she cooked. My dogs always come back even more well adjusted and social after she watches them. It helps she has kids and other animals that my dogs can interact with.”
“Left our pup with Somer and Garrett for five days while we were out of town. He was treated so well and gets along with their pup famously. We will definitely utilize their services again in the future.”
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old. I've grown up with dogs of all sizes and understand that every dog has its own unique personality and needs. As lifelong dog lovers, I'm committed to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where your pup will be treated like part of our family. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to your dog's routine, I'll make sure they receive the same care and attention we'd want for our own pets. I work from home and will be there to take care of your puppies. I let them run in the yard, but keep them in the a/c throughout the day. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priority. My home is a clean, safe, and loving environment where every dog is treated like family. I take the time to learn each dog's routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. I provide plenty of supervision, exercise, playtime, and affection, and we'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else's care, and we're committed to giving your furry family member the same love and attention we'd give our own.
“Jocelyn was fantastic! Our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for while we were away. She went above and beyond by successfully administering medication to our puppy, which gave us so much peace of mind. Communication was great, and it was obvious she genuinely cared for our pets. We came home to happy pups, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Like always, a great experience for me and especially my English Bulldog. Kept me informed of his care and send great pictures. Thank you Jose & Cari. You guys are awesome!”
“Such a pleasure to deal with her from the very beginning, and I had peace of mind from there on. She continued to contact me throughout the eight days and give me updates and pictures and videos. I would certainly use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for wonderful care for their beloved pet.”
“This is the best experience I have had with a dog sitter. I have a chihuahua with separation anxiety. I left him for 2 days and Magy was first class in taking my puppy and loving him. She updated me daily with texts, pictures and videos, which showed her care for my well being of knowing he was safe and was being a good boy. I will absolutely be a repeat customer for Magy and I will spread the word however I can to help Magy stay busy. Thank you.”

“Samantha was so kind with our cats and understanding and made sure to take extra care and caution with them! They loved her, although they missed their humans, and we felt so much relief that they were in good hands while we were gone.”
“Samantha has been such a blessing for our tiny family! I have an older cat who is very afraid of people in general, but oh boy he loves Samantha! And will go above and beyond to spend time with the animals, which means a lot when we are away! Every time we have had an emergency trip, Samantha has been so reliable and amazing!!! Thank you!!!”
“I really can’t thank Osvaldo enough for being available and so kind when it came to checking in on my cats. I frequently have to travel and it’s hard to get people to stop by. It really gave me peace of mind that Osvaldo was so responsive and helpful. I will be booking him every chance I get and recommend you do too!”
“It's abundantly clear how much Sindri truly cares for animals. I hate leaving our elderly and slightly neurotic cat at home, but from the first meet and greet to the very thorough check-in updates, I was actually able to be out of town with minimal anxiety. Sindri's experience really shined with the photos, detailed description of the interaction, and quick responses for each visit. Thank you for taking such excellent care of our meatball!”
“We had a great experience with Cheryl on Rover! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our cats. Cheryl sent regular updates with photos, which we really appreciated and found reassuring. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and clean litter areas. We would absolutely book with Cheryl again and highly recommend her to other cat owners.”
“She was super awesome at watching my cat while I was away for the month. Sent me pictures of her and was just amazing! Would definitely use her again next time I need a sitter!”
“Krystal was amazing! We booked somewhat last minute and she was quick to reply with a meet and greet. She sent updates while we were out of town with photos. We had a special needs kitty (one who is diabetic and likes to hide). Krystal was patient and able to give him his insulin without issues. Would highly recommend and would use her again for our next vacation!”
“Shana took very good care of all three of our dogs while we were visiting family out of state. It was very comforting knowing our dogs were in good hands while we were enjoying our vacation. We will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“She was very accommodating to both our schedule and our cats needs. Communication was excellent, and she kept us updated on how our cat was doing while we were away. We truly appreciated the care and attention she provided. I would definitely recommend her and would gladly use her services again. Thank you so much! 🐾💕”

“My experience with Denise was more than 5 stars, she looked after my two Maine coon's for a week and she was very understanding, gentle, and took very good care of them, her house is very pet friendly and I will recommend her to everyone in my area, she sent photos of my kitties, and kept them fed and happy, if I could give above 5 stars I would 😊”
“Ellen is a wonderful sitter. This is the 3rd time I hired Ellen and I so appreciate the way she cares for my cat Luna. I will not hire anyone else. Ellen is thorough, attentive and loves my cat Luna. My Luna is starting to warm up to her too (cats can be fickle lol). Thanks Ellen!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Pine Island
About: I have taken care of both my own and all the neighborhood pets since I was very small! I am an avid walker ready to wear your baby out for miles and miles a day if needed or just walking a slow few houses away if distance is a struggle. I know each sweet soul is different and deserves all the special attention to them so am flexible with whatever needed to make your pet happy and comfortable! Tough wild puppies and old grumpies in need of medications or treatments, I will handle them all! I currently travel too often to have my own pets so use my time at home to love on others! When I am pet sitting i am usually working from home those days with full access to your pet or half days so I can make sure im available full time. My home is free reign to your animal and they can treat it as their own. So no worries to couch cuddlers or bed sleepers! Runners and bolters will be closely watched and contained. For elderly mobility issue animals any stairs or hard to navigate issues will be blocked off. So safety is directly attended to!

“We were travelling from out-of-country and had a chance to spend the day with friends locally. We messaged Chris during the Super Bowl game for a daycare session with our two dogs the next day. They responded almost instantly. Amazing communications and very responsive. The facility is incredible. Very clean. Sheltered. A double perimeter fence. Motion activated spot lights. Our dogs were secure and we felt very comfortable leaving them there for the day. We received updates and photos throughout the day which made us happy to know our dogs were visibly relaxed and comfortable in a new environment. When we picked them up the dogs were clearly happy, tired, relaxed, and definitely appeared to be smiling! We would not hesitate to use Chris and their spouse again. Amazing people. Fantastic facility.”

About: I've had dogs since I was a little kid. I have always had my own dogs and I have fostered several dogs over the year. I have owned cats just don't have any right now. And I have owned exotic birds and currently own an Amazon parrot. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me with their furry children over several years. I love learning more about the dogs and teaching them tricks. It is an amazing experience to see how they develop. I currently work full time from home, and only have to go into the office every other Wednesday. I have plenty of time for multiple breaks for walks. I have two friendly dogs to keep your pup company. I currently do not have a crate in the house. I am okay with your dog sleeping on the couch or bed.
About: I have always had pets in my life! From turtles & fish to guinea pigs & mice to dogs & cats! I currently have two dogs, Mia and Brax! I rescued both of them as wee little puppies, so I understand the responsibility and work they can be (and trouble)! My childhood dog, Diesel, passed in February of 2018, so I also understand the precautions and limitations senior dogs can have. I currently work from home, so I am available for their needs throughout the day. I do have a two year old daughter who loves animals and is very gentle, but she is at preschool from 9am -5pm every weekday. I know the stress of trying to find someone you trust to take care of your fur babies while you're away, and I want to be that person that you trust and that they love to see! I will make sure they are comfortable, safe, happy and well taken care of :) I work from home, so I have open availability to fit your dogs needs. Potty breaks and play time can be often as often as they need! I am very cautious when it comes to taking pets outside. I always make sure there are no other animals outside before they are taken out, always leashed because I do not have a fenced yard yet (hoping to get one soon). I have two dogs that love to play and will make your baby feel at home. If you dogs need some space from time to time or get overwhelmed easily, I have no problem locking my dogs in my bedroom for a little while to give them space.

“Jami was amazing with Blake, she is so kind and loving. He had a great time exploring her beautiful back yard while enjoying the company of the other cute doggies. Blake loved her and her family. We will definitely be back in the near future.”
“Jocelyn was amazing! She took such great care of my dog and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She sent me lots of photos and updates throughout his stay, and it was clear he was happy, loved, and well cared for. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter!”

“Dulce and her family were wonderful with Biggie! They were patient and understanding of his anxious behavior! They sent photos and videos of him for updates. I will use them again!”

About: I recently moved, but before that I used to dog sit and walk dogs for neighbors, family, and friends pretty often. I’ve always loved being around dogs and spending time with them.

About: Animals have been a big part of my life since childhood. I've had dogs since I was five years old and regularly helped care for them whenever my parents were away. At one point, our family had four dogs and four cats, giving me experience managing the needs of multiple pets at once. I've also cared for my cousin's dog during a week-long stay and owned my own horse for five years, which taught me a great deal about responsibility and daily animal care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their families are away. I have a big heart for animals, and I genuinely enjoy being around them. I am currently on summer break as a college student, so I have availability 7 days a week for the summer! I am available as needed, night or day. I always follow the pet owner's instructions closely to keep their pet's routine as normal as possible. I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and attention, and have a safe, clean environment. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort level and will communicate with owners if I notice anything unusual. My goal is to help pets feel secure, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. Having cared for dogs, cats, and a horse throughout my life, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and responsible supervision. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their safety and well-being at all times.
“My fur child Ben loved Cheryl! She walked a 100 lb lap dog weekday mornings for two weeks, and he was very happy. Cheryl was prompt, reliable, affectionate and attentive to our boy. I will check her availability again in June when I will need a couple more days. Thank you Cheryl!”

About: Hello! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a deep respect for all living creatures. I live in a spacious home on 1/3 acre with 2 securely fenced back yards ideal for pets to run, play and relax. I’ve been caring for various pets since I was 12. I’ve had fur babies my entire life (mostly Shih Tzus) and helped care for livestock on my grandparents’ farm. Over the years, I’ve taken care of many cats and just about every dog breed—from gentle giants like Saint Bernards to tiny Chihuahuas—and pets of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’m experienced with both short visits and extended care, having looked after pets anywhere from a single day up to two months, in both my home and my clients’ homes.

Most importantly, I’ll love and care for your pets as if they were my own. My goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and truly at home.

About: About 30 yrs ago I found a newborn puppy, covered in snow, on Interstate 95 in Virginia. Eyes weren’t open yet (1 or 2 days old). Vet said he’s too young and will most likely not survive. I bottle fed him and did all the motherly things he needed. He lived a healthy, happy and truly loved, long 16 years with me. He was a Bermise Mountain Dog Freeway, 140lbs. He even attended my wedding. He had to eat every couple hours, and of course, I never had a shortage of babysitters. The Preacher said, (“I’ve married people with children and or children on the way, and a lot of unusual things, but never a newborn Puppy).” I’ve had animals my entire life, all sorts, sizes and shapes and I LOVE them all. I never had children, so they are my family/children.

“My dog absolutely loved staying with Lauren! She provided daily updates and photos, ensuring I felt connected while I was away, and my Kiva came home happy and well cared for and loved. I highly recommend Lauren and will be booking with her in the near future .”
“Renee took excellent care of Ben, thank you! We are nervous let parents who left our fur child away for the first time, and the experience was great. We will be asking again in May, for another trip. 🐕”
“I can not recommend Katie and Patrick enough! They are absolutely wonderful and took care of my two large dogs for about a week over Christmas. They were recommended by other members of my family and they didn't disappoint. They have and awesome yard with lots of other dog friends and keep them all busy, playing, and occupied all day long. They send tons of photos and give updates each day so you don't have to worry about anything. Thank you so much for everything, Katie and Patrick!”
“Dulce and her husband were great with Biggie! Dulce showed biggie love and attention which he needs a lot of. He came home very happy, calm and well taken care of. I received daily photos and videos while away which gave me peace of mind. I would highly recommend her!”
“Our dogs loved their time with Kim and she definitely treated them as her own. She communicated frequently and always kept me up to date on how they were doing. My grumpy little man who hates walks even seemed to enjoy walking with her. Her home was cleaner than a lot of homes I've done meet-and-greets at. And she was flexible when I had to adjust my pick up time. Thank you so much Kim!”
“Erica is always amazing with our dogs. My 3 yr old dog has really bad seperation anxiety. She seemed to love Erica and her family. Erica even sent me pics with her just chilling in the kitchen with her while she cooked. My dogs always come back even more well adjusted and social after she watches them. It helps she has kids and other animals that my dogs can interact with.”
“Left our pup with Somer and Garrett for five days while we were out of town. He was treated so well and gets along with their pup famously. We will definitely utilize their services again in the future.”
“Jocelyn was fantastic! Our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for while we were away. She went above and beyond by successfully administering medication to our puppy, which gave us so much peace of mind. Communication was great, and it was obvious she genuinely cared for our pets. We came home to happy pups, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Like always, a great experience for me and especially my English Bulldog. Kept me informed of his care and send great pictures. Thank you Jose & Cari. You guys are awesome!”
“Lenise is amazing. I know my labs are a lot to handle and she was noting but great. They were there 4 nights and were treated as they were her own. She sent pictures and videos and updates daily . She got them bones too. We will be using her for all our future pet sitting needs!”
“Will definitely use again!! Very accommodating and made us feel very comfortable leaving our dog with someone else for the first time. Very happy with our experience using Sara and Tyree:)”
“Al & Jean sat my 100 # lab. They sent me pictures and I wasn't sure if she wanted to come home, because she was having so much fun with Piper & Cooper. For the first time I did not feel bad about going away because she was so well taken care of. Great couple.”
“Denise was a delight and very attentive to our dog, Honeybear, a chocolate lab. I would recommend her as an excellent dog watcher. She sent us daily photos and well written paragraphs on Honeybear’s behavior and daily antics.”
