Highly-rated overnight sitters - Sylvester
“Lesly was extremely helpful, attentive, and communicative. She met with my husband and I once by ourselves so we could see her space and talk through our routines and individual dog quirks as we have 3. She met with us again with the dogs before our stay so they could see the place and get comfortable with her before we left them for our trip. During our stay, she provided excellent feedback on how they were doing as well as adorable pictures of them playing in the yard. Any questions or concerns we had, she answered them efficiently and left us feeling comfortable. Upon pickup she gave us details of their stay and worked with us through changing our pickup time / bringing 3 high energy dogs out. They came back to us tired and happy. Would definitely recommend and will book again!”
“The sitter arrange an interview ahead to see facility and made everything clear. I got pictures dail of my dog. I was relieved that he would not be caged. My dog loves to be held or sit very close and she accommodated him. I was very pleased. I picked him up a day early and consider the extra day paid as her tip. I will rebook in future.”
“Katrina was kind and was loving sitter to my Lilly. She had no problems sending pictures and updates of Lilly’s care and progress with her. Will be using her again.”
“Jessica was great with our two fur babies. She and her family made sure they got plenty of exercise in a safe environment. Jessica was also great with communicating and sending photos. Will use again and recommend.”
“Noleen is wonderful. Chico was happy and well taken care of. He looked for her this morning. She truly loves our fur babies. I am definitely a repeat customer! See you in December!”
“Frances was fantastic!! My little guy took right to her. She was great with him, took pictures and text each day so that I was kept updated, which gave me peace of mind while on vacation. I will definitely use Frances from now on!!”
“Sterling was awesome. First off he was available during THANKSGIVING! Like that alone was awesome, it allowed us to go visit Tamil that we haven’t seen in many many years. He was attentive and very communicative during the stay. I loved how he did indeed walk Chaos often. I can tell my pup loved his stay. I’m so happy we went with you Sterling thanks so much again for treating our Chaos right! Will definitely book you anytime we go out of town again! happy holidays.”
About: I have been passionate about caring for animals from a young age, often taking in and helping stray cats whenever possible. I have an 8 year old Rat Terrier who is in excellent health. I manage his daily feeding, regular walks, grooming, and give him vet checks when needed. I have two cats that I rescued as strays, providing them with a safe and stable home. I also care for a bearded dragon, including maintaining her habitat and breeding Dubia roaches to ensure she has a consistent, nutritious food source along with her vegetables. Through these experiences I feel that I have developed strong skills in animal care and responsibility. I currently work a full-time morning position and am available for pet care services between 2:00 PM and 11:00 PM, seven days a week, with some mornings. I’m also flexible and willing to adjust my schedule or request time off when needed to provide attentive, consistent care for your pets while you’re away. I live in a pet friendly apartment with my own dog and cats, and I’m able to safely walk and care for pets without issue. I like to keep my home calm and secure for my animals, with close attention to their comfort, daily routines and habits. I also have experience managing behaviors such as stress chewing, and I use solutions like crate training when appropriate to ensure both the pet’s safety and the condition of the home. If similar situations occur while caring for a client’s pet, I am confident in my ability to respond responsibly and maintain a safe, clean, and supportive environment at all times.
“Jeanie's absolutely the best. She had a natural affinity toward my fur baby and has a very cheerful personality. Picking up my baby and holding him like he was hers just warmed my heart. I sent Jojo over with his bed for him to sleep in but instead I got a picture of him on the bed which was where he spent the night (warmed my heart even more 🥰). Jojo even got to use the doggie door which he's always been scared to do cos it flaps back and forth. The best part is that her home environment is very dog friendly, very clean and very warm. You can clearly tell that she loves what she does. If you want your baby to have a happy home away from home, I would highly recommend Jeanie and be rest assured that he/she'll be well cared for.”
“My dog had a great time in Miah's care, with lots of walks, a trip to the park. She also is a great communicator and a dog lover. I hope to have Miah host my dog again in the future. Your dog will be in great hands with Miah.”

I plan on pet care for the duration that I’m out this summer! I take great consideration in caring for peoples pets the way I would want mine cared for! I truly love animals so much, especially dogs!

I have supervised outings with my dog and families dogs and my fur baby will be there to keep your fur baby occupied and played with

About: I was raised with cats and dogs. I read a dog training book when I was in high school. I have always been mission-oriented, and today's mission is to ensure your pets are looked after and that you are confident they are safe and healthy. My schedule revolves around animals. If I'm not spending time with my dogs, then it's my mom's dogs. If it's not her dogs, then it's chickens. (Dogs are more fun, have you tried playing fetch with a chicken?) I will care for your pets with the same love and affection I provide to my own dogs, excluding any rough-housing since my dogs tend to play quite boisterously. I will diligently follow all instructions to the best of my abilities and will communicate promptly if I encounter any difficulties, seeking an alternative solution.
“Harley has been amazing with our dog, Lola. I highly recommend Harley if you are needing your fur baby walked, played with, or checked on. Pictures are uploaded on the app so you can see her walk/visit!”

About: As a lifelong cat lover and experienced pet caregiver, I know that every cat has their own unique personality — from the sassy sunbathers to the shy window-watchers. I’ve spent years caring for cats of all ages, temperaments, and special needs, and I pride myself on creating a calm, cozy, and stress-free environment for your feline friend while you’re away. Whether your cat loves interactive playtime, a quiet lap to curl up in, or just needs someone to make sure the litter box is clean and their food is fresh, I tailor each visit to your kitty’s routine and comfort. I’m also experienced with administering medications (oral and topical), senior cat care, and multi-cat households. You’ll receive daily updates, adorable photos, and peace of mind knowing your cat is in safe, loving hands. My goal is to make your time away feel as seamless and comforting as possible — for both you and your cat!

“Leslie was wonderful with our Penny! She spent time with Penny to make her comfortable and spent time with her inside and in the yard. She returned our text for placing Penny with her quickly! It was also on Sunday. We will definitely use Leslie again! Highly recommend her!”
About: I have many years of dog sitting experience. I worked in a veterinary clinic for three years so I know a good deal about dog behavior and what to look for if they’re sick. I have a beautiful mutt who is up to date on her shots and loves other dogs. If your pet comes to stay with me they’ll have a great playmate in her. I take my own pup on two daily walks and I have ample free time to spend with them during the day. I would love your dog as if they were my own for the time I would be dog sitting them. I have a higher energy dog so we go on multiple walks a day and she has many slow feeding toys to entertain her if I need to leave the house. In my world, happy dogs are tired dogs; so we keep an active lifestyle to ensure any pets in my home are well cared for. When pets stay in my home I pay attention to their body language and needs to ensure they’re well taken care of. We go on walks and play with toys to give them many opportunities to get their energy out.
“Noleen is like my dogs' (Jacob and Rigsby) angel. They really had lots of fun. After I brought them home, they are really obedient. Surprisingly Rigsby, who usually barks and bites his crate when inside, agreed to stay inside the crate without biting the crate (thank goodness). My other dog Jacob, he always try to get ahead and be the first one to get out of the door. When we went home, he did not even try to pull me. I think Noleen has that magic touch! I will definately bring my fur babies back to her. Definately recommend her 101%.”
About: Little Angel's dog boarding specializes in small dogs. Hello my name is Jessica and I am a dog owner and lover.I decided to work with dogs because I really enjoy being around of them.Every time I go out of town and leave our dog I feel very worried about him. I start thinking about who is going to watch him and become very worried. So I started to think that I love dogs and would be the perfect person to watch someone else’s little angel.My house is 100 % fenced with a 6 foot fence, I have a nice sized backyard.I live in a nice neighborhood safe for taking walks.I also have some grooming training, I personally cut our dog's hair. My dog is a French Poodle so it requires some skill to groom him. I have never worked as a professional groomer. I did my training exclusively for my dog, he is very spoiled and he used to cry so much when somebody else even brushed his hair. I decided to get the training to keep him happy. For an extra cost I can offer baths including ear cleaning.For me safety and comfort is of paramount importance.Your dog will have access to the backyard but will sleep inside of the house. I encourage owners to bring their dogs bed and favorite toy so they will feel a little more like they are at home.Your dog will get two daily walks and also play time in the backyard.Your dog will receive lots of attention all day long. I am doing this because I love animals but especially dogs!I can take pictures so you can see how your dog is doing. We can even schedule a skype video chat so you can see your dog in case you miss him as much as I miss my little guy when I am away.Dogs who stay for 5 days or more receive a toy to take home. I love all kinds of dogs but I have some restrictions for now. I can only watch dogs less than 20 pounds and I can’t dog sit a Rottweiler or Pitbull. This is because I have a little girl and my dog is a toy size so I am worried about their safety.I can’t love your dog like you do, but I promise he will be loved.Hablo espanol.
