“Jean was amazing with my golden. I loved getting pictures and videos daily and knowing that he was having a great time. My big guy has terrible anxiety during storms and is on a high dose of anxiety medication that sometimes works. When a bad storm rolled in Jean was compassionate and loving and notified me about his condition. As a very overprotective dog mom I trust Jean and we will definitely be using her again.”
“Hannah's care to my dog was wonderful, the photo she sent to me daily really assured me that Ling-Ling was at a sweet home away from home, that gave me a great relieve to be able to enjoy my vacation as I knew Ling-Ling was enjoying her great vacation with Hannah and her 7 years old daughter. I will book with Hannah whenever I need to if no conflict with her schedule. It's a great feeling that I will not feel anxious to plan vacation at the future anymore because I found Hannah.”
“Jessica is fantastic! She took our pup to the park and on her errands which made him very happy. Very communicative too the entire time with photos and videos. And she takes excellent photos to boot!”
“Roscoe had a blast with Deirdre and all her doggy friends. He was smiling in all the pictures and came home exhausted. We will definitely use Deidre again next time we need to leave Roscoe!”
“My skiddish Golden doodle is always very comfortable with Christine. I know she is being treated well and cared for. Peace of mind when I can't take her with me. Thank you Christine!”
“Dotty had a great time with Mike and his wife. He really kept me up to date on her stay. She spent time napping on the couch and playing with the other dogs. I think Trouble was her favorite. I wouldn't have her stay with anybody else from now on. We absolutely recommend.”
“Kyle was great. Dates & times had to b flexible because we were traveling for a funeral and Kyle accommodated us all the way. He sent pics daily and always responded to text messages. Would definitely recommend him.”
“Luciana took very good care of our chihuahua. Luciana is very professional and friendly. She listened to our instructions very carefully and adhered to it. She took the dog out multiple times and fed him on time as requested. She gave very frequent updates and posted photos and videos of the dog having a happy time at her home. Overall a great experience and I would definitely recommend her and be a repeat customer as well”
“We had an excellent experience with Petra and she took wonderful care of Mia while we were away on vacation. From the first meeting, it was clear that Petra genuinely loves animals and takes the responsibility seriously. She followed our instructions and gave our Mia plenty of attention and affection. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Mia was happy, comfortable, and clearly well-loved. We highly recommend Petra to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. We are incredibly grateful for her services and look forward to working with her again in the future. Highly recommended!”
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog lover who recently relocated to the USA. While I love it here, I deeply miss the family dogs I had to leave back in my home country. Having grown up surrounded by dogs, I'm so excited to open my heart and home to your furry family member! What sets me apart is the personalized attention your dog will receive. I am currently home full-time, so caring for dogs is my main focus. My husband also works from home, which means there is almost always someone in the apartment, and your pup will rarely, if ever, be left alone. I live in a comfortable apartment with wonderful green spaces nearby for walks and outdoor time. I'm happy to adapt to your dog's unique personality and routine. If your pup loves to stay active, I'd be delighted to take them on walks or runs. If they prefer a slower pace, they're welcome to curl up on the couch with me for plenty of cuddles and relaxation. Having grown up with dogs, I understand how difficult it can be to leave your beloved pet with someone else. I'll care for your dog as if they were my own and keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I can't wait to meet your pup! I am home during the day, which allows me to provide attentive, personalized care throughout your dog's stay. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, so I can easily follow your pup's established feeding, bathroom, exercise, and medication schedule. I take care of all daily walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention to ensure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. My husband works from home full-time, so while I am your dog's primary caregiver, there is almost always someone else in the home as well. This means your dog will have plenty of companionship and will rarely, if ever, be left alone. With our flexible schedules, your pup can enjoy frequent potty breaks, regular exercise, and lots of affection throughout the day. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood in a ground-floor apartment, which is ideal for dogs since there are no steep stairs or elevator rides to navigate. We also have a securely gated balcony where your pup can safely enjoy some fresh air and watch the world go by. I keep my home dog-proofed, free of hazards, and calm so every guest feels comfortable and secure. While I am the one providing your dog's care, my husband works from home, so there is almost always someone in the home as well. During walks, I always keep dogs securely on a leash, stay aware of our surroundings, and prioritize their safety at all times. I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own.

Yamile is Extremely responsive, followed a special diet, took her for walks , gave me frequent updates and generally took great care of my little girl while we were away!!!

“Ewa doesn’t disappoint! Olive loved her stay and feels so at home with Ewa. She loves the big fenced yard and all the attention and playtime, and I love getting all the updates, photos and videos.

I’m so blessed and thankful to have such a wonderful environment and sitter for Olive!”

“Alex was amazing with my kitten, Tupí! You can tell right away he has a real love and patience for animals.

Asmah will be my first call each time I’m in the area and need someone to watch my little guy :)”

“This is the second time I had Jenny come for my kitties and she was amazing. Of course she sent lots of adorable photos of my kitties to me while I was out of the country. But the best part is that both my kitties respond to her so well. I’ve got one who always hides when people come over, but not with Jenny! Plus she does all the things I ask of her with respect to the cats’ care. I will use her again on my next trip!”
“Logan was an amazing pet sitter. She took care of our three cats for three days and two nights. Logan is very patient and nurturing with pets. She gave us daily updates and sent adorable pictures. She’s very responsible and is amazing with animals. We’d highly recommend her as a pet sitter.”

About: Hello! I've been an animal lover my whole life, growing up around lots of different pets like dogs (big and small), cats (of all kinds), parakeets, hamsters and fish. I currently have a 3-year-old Papillon, and I previously cared for a dog who lived to be 14 years old, so I'm familiar with the needs of both energetic young dogs and senior dogs. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I'll treat every dog and cat with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I recently finished college and will be home for the summer, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pet. I’m able to provide lots of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy spending time with animals and will make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I provide care in your pet’s familiar environment, where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply spending time together. Since I have a flexible schedule this summer, I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for.
About: My doggies taught me everything I know. They are no longer here - they went to doggy heaven and we miss them all the time. My teens and I have a lot love to give and want to share with your doggy. You can rest assured we would treat your doggy as if it were ours. Also, anything under 10.5 miles for more than 1 day I offer pick up and dropp off. I work from home and have a very tight routine in our home that will help your pet feel calm and secure. Since pets thrive on routine it will bring them peace and calmness. I can give extra walks when it's a nice day and make sure we stay active if need or relaxed and enjoying a lazy "dog day". I have a quiet, grassy backyard that gives dogs a calm place to sniff, stretch their legs, and enjoy fresh air. It's a low-stress space that's great for potty breaks and relaxed outdoor time. I'm very mindful of which dogs are a good fit for my space and always put safety and comfort first so that your pups feel happy and at ease while they're with me. Doggies are allowed on our beds and couches and even our bathrooms :) - we keep a light sense of humor

“Deidre was AMAZING with my with two pups and can’t RECOMMEND her enough! Unfortunately, one of my dogs became very ill before I left for vacation and required extensive, round the clock care. Deirdre was able to administer all of the medications, stick to the strict food regimen, come by every 2 hours to check in, and even cleaned up all of the accidents from my sick pup. :/ She kept me updated throughout the trip with texts and pictures, asked questions when needed, and when my other dog sitter fell through at last minute, she was able to rearrange her schedule to cover. Overall, I am very grateful for her help and it truly put my mind at ease knowing Deirdre could be there to take care of them! Thank you again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. As an elementary teacher, I’m patient, dependable, and attentive, which carries over into how I care for animals as well. I currently have my own 8-month-old Labradoodle, so I’m very familiar with puppy energy, routines, walks, feeding, and all the love and patience they need. I also help care for my family’s Golden Retriever, Suzie, and have watched dogs for family and friends over the years. I always want the pets in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine since I have my own 8-month-old Labradoodle. I’m used to planning my day around walks, feeding, playtime, and giving dogs the attention they need. As an elementary teacher, I have a consistent schedule during the school year, and now that it’s summer, I have even more flexibility and availability for pet care throughout the week. I care for every pet as if they were my own, because I know I would want the same level of love, attention, and care for my own dog. Their safety and comfort are always my top priority. In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, and potty breaks. I also make sure pets have access to fresh water and follow their usual feeding and walking routines to help them feel comfortable. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space, and I always follow instructions closely to make sure their pet feels safe, cared for, and comfortable while maintaining the routine they’re used to.

“Hannah's care to my dog was wonderful, the photo she sent to me daily really assured me that Ling-Ling was at a sweet home away from home, that gave me a great relieve to be able to enjoy my vacation as I knew Ling-Ling was enjoying her great vacation with Hannah and her 7 years old daughter. I will book with Hannah whenever I need to if no conflict with her schedule. It's a great feeling that I will not feel anxious to plan vacation at the future anymore because I found Hannah.”
“Roscoe had a blast with Deirdre and all her doggy friends. He was smiling in all the pictures and came home exhausted. We will definitely use Deidre again next time we need to leave Roscoe!”

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog lover who recently relocated to the USA. While I love it here, I deeply miss the family dogs I had to leave back in my home country. Having grown up surrounded by dogs, I'm so excited to open my heart and home to your furry family member! What sets me apart is the personalized attention your dog will receive. I am currently home full-time, so caring for dogs is my main focus. My husband also works from home, which means there is almost always someone in the apartment, and your pup will rarely, if ever, be left alone. I live in a comfortable apartment with wonderful green spaces nearby for walks and outdoor time. I'm happy to adapt to your dog's unique personality and routine. If your pup loves to stay active, I'd be delighted to take them on walks or runs. If they prefer a slower pace, they're welcome to curl up on the couch with me for plenty of cuddles and relaxation. Having grown up with dogs, I understand how difficult it can be to leave your beloved pet with someone else. I'll care for your dog as if they were my own and keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I can't wait to meet your pup! I am home during the day, which allows me to provide attentive, personalized care throughout your dog's stay. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, so I can easily follow your pup's established feeding, bathroom, exercise, and medication schedule. I take care of all daily walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention to ensure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. My husband works from home full-time, so while I am your dog's primary caregiver, there is almost always someone else in the home as well. This means your dog will have plenty of companionship and will rarely, if ever, be left alone. With our flexible schedules, your pup can enjoy frequent potty breaks, regular exercise, and lots of affection throughout the day. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood in a ground-floor apartment, which is ideal for dogs since there are no steep stairs or elevator rides to navigate. We also have a securely gated balcony where your pup can safely enjoy some fresh air and watch the world go by. I keep my home dog-proofed, free of hazards, and calm so every guest feels comfortable and secure. While I am the one providing your dog's care, my husband works from home, so there is almost always someone in the home as well. During walks, I always keep dogs securely on a leash, stay aware of our surroundings, and prioritize their safety at all times. I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own.
