“I felt completely safe and secure leaving my Australian terrier with Kari for a couple of nights. She sent lots of updates and pictures, which was great since it was his first time at her house. He was happy as a clam and made himself right at home! I will for sure ask Kari whenever I am in need of a sitter!”
“Marcia was wonderful; they made my pup feel like a member of the family! I got lots of updates so I didn't have to worry while I was away for work. Cane was having so much fun that I wasn't sure he'd want to come home!”
“Maria was welcoming and loving to Scotty from the moment we arrived for a meet and greet!! He was excited to go visit and Maria sent pictures and messages several times a day while Scotty was in her care. He seemed happy and well cared for when I picked him up.”
About: I have spent my entire life around dogs, but my professional experience sets me apart when it comes to reading and handling animals. For almost 3 years I worked as a Pet Care Specialist. I was responsible for the specialized daily care, behavioral monitoring, and medical treatment of all sorts of animals; birds, reptiles, small mammals, fish, etc. I am experienced and comfortable administering medication and recognizing signs of illness, in the case that you have a dog with specialized needs. Today, I work professionally as a dog groomer. Every day I work hands on with dogs of all sizes ages, and temperaments. Because of this, I have the experience and patience necessary to deal with anxiety prone dogs, high energy balls of chaos, puppies who haven't yet learned manners, and senior dogs who need gentle care. I'm confident I can meet your dogs needs, whatever they may be, and ensure their stay with me is as comfortable as possible. I'm also happy to provide my available grooming services if that's of any interest to you! I work 8 hour shifts at the grooming salon, and I am free on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, which gives me full, dedicated days to spend at home with your dog(s). For the days I am at work, a responsible family member will always be available at the house, to assist with potty breaks or just to hang out. Your pup will only ever be alone if they want to be. This allows me to provide boarding any day of the week! My home is fully equipped to be a safe, fun, and adaptable "home away from home" for your dog. Here is what you can expect during their stay: Secure & Spacious Play: We have a large, fenced backyard where your dog can safely run and play. We are located in a lovely, quiet neighborhood right next door to a large recreational field/park with a walking trail. For more adventurous pups, we also have excellent wooded trails nearby as well. Socialization & Companionship: My family will be more than happy to provide extra human interaction throughout the day if your dog is seeking it. We also have 2 friendly resident dogs (a gentle, senior Shih Tzu who mostly minds her own business, and a social English Pointer who will be happy to make new friends) and 2 cats who are well accustomed to dogs, but will mostly keep to themselves. Separation When Needed: While socialization is great, it's not for everyone. If your dog is anxious, or just feeling overwhelmed, I have my own private, dedicated space where they can get away from all the hubbub of the household, and enjoy some downtime. I am also fully able to accommodate crate-trained dogs if that's something they prefer. They are also more than welcome to share my furniture if they're more of a lap-dog type! As a professional pet handler, I promise to stay aware of your dog's body language and ensure they're recieving the best care possible. Their safety and peace of mind are my top priority.
“Alyne was fantastic. We live on the island so accommodating our travel can be tricky but she was great with our schedule. She met us at the ferry to pick up our dog. While we were gone she texted us pictures of our dog playing in the yard with other dogs. We knew our dog was having a ball. Then our return travel got all messed up and she was super flexible with keeping our dog for an extra night. Would definitely recommend Alyne!”
“Both of my elderly dogs love staying with Uncle Stephen! We get photos showing how much fun they are having as well as them enjoying the multiple beds/ sofas/ etc. Highly recommend!”
“Karen is a kind, caring person and I am so grateful we found her. She eased my worries leaving my new dog for the first time. Then when my travel plans went awry, she once again eased my concerns and went above and beyond the help care for our dog. Our dog was in great hands, and being well cared for while we were away. Thank you again! You are awesome!”
“Jacqueline was wonderful with both of our dogs! She treated them like family, sent pics and videos and provided great care. Not having to worry about our fur babies made our trip even better. Her home is super dog friendly including a safe and spacious fenced in yard. I recommend Jacqueline and plan on using her dog hospitality and for my dogs again in the future. Superb!”
“Marc has exceeded all my expectations for a dog sitter. His attention to detail and thoughtful care of my two dogs has been incredible. He notices small nuances of their personalities and has clearly taken special care to get to know them and help them feel comfortable and safe. My dogs are eager to stay with him and very calm when I pick them up. I highly recommend Marc without any reservations!”
“Mike and his wife are great hosts. They have friendly dogs, a large fenced in back yard and send photos multiple times throughout the day. They even agreed to watch our pup last minute during the holiday when a family emergency came up. They’re our “go-to”. Highly recommend, just not when we need them ;)”
“Caitlin is a reliable Dog Sitter for my dog, Sara. She communicates, she’s timely, she provides good feedback and sends pictures. I trust Caitlin every time. She’s become our regular dog sitter when we go to the Cape.”
About: Hi! We’re a dependable, dog-loving family offering in-home dog boarding and dog sitting on Cape Cod. If you’re looking for a safe, attentive, and comfortable home for your dog while you’re away, you’ve found it. We both work from home, so your dog will never be alone. We have a small, friendly Labradoodle who loves other dogs and is very used to sharing his space. Because of that, visiting dogs typically adjust quickly and feel right at home here. We’ve cared for many friends’ dogs over the years, including puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. We’re comfortable with different temperaments, energy levels, and routines, from active dogs who need lots of playtime and walks to more relaxed dogs who just want a calm, cozy environment. We have used pet sitters several times for our own travels, so we know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your beloved fur baby with a stranger. We will make your dog one of our family and give you regular updates, including photos. We know how important it is to trust who you leave your dog with. Our goal is simple: make your dog feel safe, happy, and cared for, so you can relax while you’re away. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a meet & greet—we’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits very naturally into our daily routine because we both work from home full-time. This allows us to build our day around the dogs in our care rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. Our typical day includes morning potty breaks and walks, followed by a relaxed workday where dogs have plenty of supervision, companionship, and opportunities to go outside as needed. We take breaks throughout the day for playtime, short walks, and attention, depending on each dog’s energy level and routine. In the evenings, we usually incorporate longer walks, playtime, or wind-down time, making sure dogs are settled and comfortable before bedtime. Because dogs are part of our home environment, they’re included in our daily rhythm—not treated as an afterthought. On weekends, we’re generally home and maintain a similar routine, with even more flexibility for walks, outdoor time, and one-on-one attention. Overall, having dogs in our care is something we genuinely enjoy and prioritize, and our schedule allows us to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day and week. We care for every dog as if they’re our own, with a focus on keeping their routine consistent, their environment safe, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. Before any stay, we take time to understand your dog’s daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any quirks or preferences—so we can mirror what they’re used to at home as closely as possible. In our home, dogs get: Plenty of supervision (we both work from home, so they’re rarely alone) Regular potty breaks, walks, and playtime based on their energy level A calm, safe environment with space to relax or socialize Lots of attention and affection throughout the day We’re also comfortable administering basic medications if needed and following any specific care instructions you provide.
“Karen was wonderful! We dropped our dog off for two nights while visiting family over the weekend. She was very kind and communicative throughout our dog's stay. It was our first time our dog had stayed with her, so the photos and updates were very helpful and appreciated! She gave our dog 1:1 time on walks and sent pictures of our dog relaxing in her home. We were later to pick-up than expected, and she was flexible and understanding! Thank you, Karen for your help with Blue!”
“Debra took great care of our two dogs, Mia & Apollo, over the Christmas weekend. Debra & her husband were very accommodating as it was such a last minute booking due to our original sitter cancelling on us. They have a massive back yard that our pups loved zooming around in. Would definitely recommend!”
“Caitlin was amazing with our young puppy of 4 months, Pepper. It’s the first time we left her and we felt 100% comfortable. She updated regularly with photos and kept our pup safe and happy. Thanks Caitlin!!!!”
“Julie did an excellent job with Brady. I felt very comfortable with Julie's care of Brady. Julie's house and fenced in yard was very nice and very well kept. Julie was very nice and took the job of taking care of Brady very seriously and communicated with me though the app on how Brady was doing.”
“Samantha took amazing care of my little cat and guinea pig . She was on time , commutative and showed that she really has a big heart that cares about people and their animals. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for her amazing service.”
“Penny had the BEST time with Andrea and Bob. They were so sweet to her and took her out on a few adventures. They were great about sending pictures and updates and could tell they really cared for her. Will book again next time we are on the cape! Highly recommend! Thank you!!”
“Sam and Pam were wonderful with Finn. They looked after him so well and treated him with such care! We appreciated everything they did for us and Finn loved every minute with them! We absolutely would book them again without question!”

About: Experience with senior dogs, difficult cats, and hyper young ones who need that special one on one attention. Having cared for a dog with cancer, I am happy to do any extra care necessary for special cases. I have a very flexible hybrid schedule, which means I can work from your home and provide your pal with around the day attention and breaks. I have a young cat at home and have experience with dogs that are prone to bolting. I am neat and will always attend to your house and pet like it is my own.
About: I’ve had my own dogs my entire life and have taken care of other family members/neighbors dogs and cats while they are away. I love to go for walks and always enjoy taking a dog along with me!

I am not necessarily looking to take dogs to my home but I am capable of caring for them in your home like you normally do.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 11 years old. Friends and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets while away. This includes dogs, cats, and birds! I have experience raising 3 Brittanys throughout my life as well as 1 pig. I have administered medications to multiple pets throughout my time pet sitting. I am available Monday through Thursdays. Whether you need early mornings or late night walks or visits. I am currently dog walking/ pet sitting on the side right now. Safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, monitor for any signs of illness or stress, and follow all instructions provided by the owner. I treat every home with respect and provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are well cared for.
“Katie was wonderful. She visited Wally at the requested times. She played with him and definitely spent time keeping him company when we weren't there. And, the texts with pictures were so cute and gave us the peace of mind that Wally was being well cared for. We would use her again when we go away.”
“Eric is a very kind man and has an exceptionally nice manner with dogs, very engaging and capable. He is also very thorough in wanting to get to know your dogs and to make sure they are as safe as possible. I would highly recommend him!”
“Lucy looks happy and healthy! I can tell from the pictures you two were comfortable together and that's all I could ask for. She's a snuggler and that exactly what she needed while I was away. Thank you!”

“Ashley took care of our orange tabby, Cheddar, for eight days while we were out of the country and gave us great peace of mind. She brushed him, fed him, scooped his boxes, gave him his meds, and played with him daily. Our daughter, who met her during one of the visits, said Cheddar responded to Ashely's call and seemed to like her. Ashley always let us know if there was a variation in her expected timing and sent us a note and photos after each visit. We will definitely reach out to her again next time we are in need of a cat sitter!”
“Abigail did a terrific job caring for my two cats while I was away for several days. She’s responsible and thoughtful. I came home to two happy and relaxed cats. It’s like they didn’t even miss me, they were so comfortable with Abigail.”
“Gail is a loving and conscientious sitter. This was my first time using Rover and I was feeling quite a lot of anxiety about leaving my cat with a stranger. But Gail came over for a meet and greet and Charley took to her very quickly. Gail is trustworthy and made me feel very comfortable with leaving my Charley in her hands. She sent multiple daily pictures and updates, spent time playing g and loving up on her and Charley was fine and happy when I came home.”

“Monty had such a great day with Ruby! We would 100% have him go to Ruby's again next time we are on the Vineyard. She was so accommodating, sent us updates, made sure he was comfortable, and even offered to pick him up/drop him off. Hue thanks!”
“Maria was amazing! Ruby had so much fun and was so tired when we picked her up. Maria was very accommodating and communicative all throughout the process and stay. We would definitely use her again!”
“Kathleen was a delight for me and my dog. It was a last-minute booking. So having never met my dog before drop-off, she took time for my dog to get comfortable with her before I left. And then she sent almost a dozen pictures and videos while I was away for about seven hours. She also sent several updates (and compliments) about my dog, so I didn’t even have to wonder if everything was going well. She obviously loves dogs.”
“we were looking for a home close by to our house where Quinnie could have some time to interact with other dogs in a safe and living environment. Jackie‘s home was perfect for what we were looking for. A large securely fenced yard plus a dog door. Quinnie seemed very comfortable with Jackie, her husband and their three adorable dogs. She spent six hours there and came home tuckered out, but she seemed very happy with the day. Jackie was very attentive and kept us informed. We would very highly recommend her!”
“Rachel was very responsive, sent feedback and pictures and was flexible about pickup and drop off times. She lives in a quiet neighborhood great for walks and got my dog out for 2 of them! My shy dog seemed to settle in and get comfortable with her and Andrew. Overall I was very happy with her care and I plan to use her again”

About: I am a physical therapist who has a passion for working with people, however, I interact with people quite often. SO, what I really enjoy is making the time to cuddle or walk with furry friends any chance I can get. As a former doctoral student, I have learned how to manage time well, organize and prioritize. I have over 8 years of experience dog sitting for family members and these dogs include small breeds (Coton de Tulear and Dachshund), medium breeds (Beagle/Australian Sheperd mix) and large breeds (Pitbull/Boxer mix, Boxer, and Lab/Pitbull mix). I have administered medication on a strict schedule, bathed, walked and snuggled with all of these pups, showing nothing but love and dedication. I take all safety precautions to ensure gates are closed when necessary, human food is placed far out of reach, and all doors are shut that lead to tempting, tasty objects such as shoes and remotes. My experience with a variety of breeds and sizes makes me stand out, as well as my ability to handle high energy dogs who may appear confrontational at first. If you choose me to watch your fur babies, there is no doubt that they will be in good hands with someone who is dedicated to ensuring they are comfortable, happy and well taken care off. I have a very flexible schedule, I am in between jobs at the moment, so as long as I have enough notice, I am willing to make anything work! At my house I have to flexibility to take the dogs out as needed, I have a dog currently who is friendly with others. In my clients’ homes, I respect the client’s instructions and can perform any task they need! I respect the home and privacy as I have also had Rover sitters in my home and would want someone trustworthy.
“I enjoyed meeting Peter. He took care of my pup, Chip, and provided him with a home and a play pal for the day. Chip was happy and I was able to relax and enjoy my event. Peter provided me with peace of mind knowing that my Chip was in good hands. That’s all a dog parent can ask for. Thank you kindly, Peter. Hope to see you and Scooby again soon! Hugs, Chip and Eris”

I fully respect if your kitty is indoors only and take safety into account when I have to leave and go to work. I take no offense if your cat is shy and hides all the time THAT’S OKAY sometimes it just takes time.
About: I strictly follow your dog’s personal and walking routines to prevent any anxiety, while sending frequent photo updates so you can travel completely worry free. Working from home allows me to easily blend my day with your dog’s needs, offering frequent play and potty breaks and endless cuddles while working. By staying at your place, I minimize your dog’s anxiety. I provide dedicated overnight care, plenty of playtime, and frequent updates so you feel connected.
About: I have taken care of my own pets as well as pets of family and friends. I currently have two dogs, Sargent and Spock, and a cat named Chip. I love all animals and most pets warm up to me right away :)) I am currently home in between the college semesters. I am going into my junior year at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, NH as a Psychology and Criminal Justice Double Major. I am currently taking one online class and need work in between homework 😁 I am unable to bring pets to my own home due to my dogs and cat; however, I love to play with dogs outside. Normally, I play with a dog outside, getting them to run around a bit, for as long as they can until they are ready to stop playing. Once the dog is ready to stop playing, I find dogs love to sit in the sun on a sunny day and I will sit outside with the dog until it is time to leave.

About: Hello! My name is Sammie and I’m a recently retired college athlete and nursing student at UML. I’ve had three dogs in my lifetime so far with many more to come. I am 21 years old and a New Graduate Nurse. Im also a huge animal lover and obsessed with every furry friend. I had two beagles growing up… and now I have a six year-old sassy, husky named Skye… we rescued Skye a little over four years ago when she was 1 year old. She lives with my mom and I. We take her on three walks a day, short car rides, dog park trips, and we give her plenty of playtime. She has a few different husky friends in the neighborhood. Although she’s a little crazy, she’s my best friend. I attended Umass Lowell, where I played Division I women’s lacrosse. I’m excited to get started helping other families with fur babies. Every morning and every evening I walk my husky. We play with her throughout the day depending on who is around in the family. She gets weekly dog park trips as well and hangs out with her friends in the neighborhood. Plenty of playtime, cuddles and walks. I know my dog loves to take long walks in the neighborhood, play fetch with her ball and snuggle on the couch when she’s tired.
About: Have experience with own dog (yorki mix) and taking care of cousin’s dogs (golden doodle and pit bull mix) . . . . . . I am currently working full time during the day but can provide services in the mornings, early evenings and weekends. . . . . . I love animals and will care for your pet like they are my own!

“I felt completely safe and secure leaving my Australian terrier with Kari for a couple of nights. She sent lots of updates and pictures, which was great since it was his first time at her house. He was happy as a clam and made himself right at home! I will for sure ask Kari whenever I am in need of a sitter!”
“Marcia was wonderful; they made my pup feel like a member of the family! I got lots of updates so I didn't have to worry while I was away for work. Cane was having so much fun that I wasn't sure he'd want to come home!”
About: I have spent my entire life around dogs, but my professional experience sets me apart when it comes to reading and handling animals. For almost 3 years I worked as a Pet Care Specialist. I was responsible for the specialized daily care, behavioral monitoring, and medical treatment of all sorts of animals; birds, reptiles, small mammals, fish, etc. I am experienced and comfortable administering medication and recognizing signs of illness, in the case that you have a dog with specialized needs. Today, I work professionally as a dog groomer. Every day I work hands on with dogs of all sizes ages, and temperaments. Because of this, I have the experience and patience necessary to deal with anxiety prone dogs, high energy balls of chaos, puppies who haven't yet learned manners, and senior dogs who need gentle care. I'm confident I can meet your dogs needs, whatever they may be, and ensure their stay with me is as comfortable as possible. I'm also happy to provide my available grooming services if that's of any interest to you! I work 8 hour shifts at the grooming salon, and I am free on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, which gives me full, dedicated days to spend at home with your dog(s). For the days I am at work, a responsible family member will always be available at the house, to assist with potty breaks or just to hang out. Your pup will only ever be alone if they want to be. This allows me to provide boarding any day of the week! My home is fully equipped to be a safe, fun, and adaptable "home away from home" for your dog. Here is what you can expect during their stay: Secure & Spacious Play: We have a large, fenced backyard where your dog can safely run and play. We are located in a lovely, quiet neighborhood right next door to a large recreational field/park with a walking trail. For more adventurous pups, we also have excellent wooded trails nearby as well. Socialization & Companionship: My family will be more than happy to provide extra human interaction throughout the day if your dog is seeking it. We also have 2 friendly resident dogs (a gentle, senior Shih Tzu who mostly minds her own business, and a social English Pointer who will be happy to make new friends) and 2 cats who are well accustomed to dogs, but will mostly keep to themselves. Separation When Needed: While socialization is great, it's not for everyone. If your dog is anxious, or just feeling overwhelmed, I have my own private, dedicated space where they can get away from all the hubbub of the household, and enjoy some downtime. I am also fully able to accommodate crate-trained dogs if that's something they prefer. They are also more than welcome to share my furniture if they're more of a lap-dog type! As a professional pet handler, I promise to stay aware of your dog's body language and ensure they're recieving the best care possible. Their safety and peace of mind are my top priority.
“Alyne was fantastic. We live on the island so accommodating our travel can be tricky but she was great with our schedule. She met us at the ferry to pick up our dog. While we were gone she texted us pictures of our dog playing in the yard with other dogs. We knew our dog was having a ball. Then our return travel got all messed up and she was super flexible with keeping our dog for an extra night. Would definitely recommend Alyne!”
“Both of my elderly dogs love staying with Uncle Stephen! We get photos showing how much fun they are having as well as them enjoying the multiple beds/ sofas/ etc. Highly recommend!”
“Karen is a kind, caring person and I am so grateful we found her. She eased my worries leaving my new dog for the first time. Then when my travel plans went awry, she once again eased my concerns and went above and beyond the help care for our dog. Our dog was in great hands, and being well cared for while we were away. Thank you again! You are awesome!”
“Jacqueline was wonderful with both of our dogs! She treated them like family, sent pics and videos and provided great care. Not having to worry about our fur babies made our trip even better. Her home is super dog friendly including a safe and spacious fenced in yard. I recommend Jacqueline and plan on using her dog hospitality and for my dogs again in the future. Superb!”
“Marc has exceeded all my expectations for a dog sitter. His attention to detail and thoughtful care of my two dogs has been incredible. He notices small nuances of their personalities and has clearly taken special care to get to know them and help them feel comfortable and safe. My dogs are eager to stay with him and very calm when I pick them up. I highly recommend Marc without any reservations!”
“Mike and his wife are great hosts. They have friendly dogs, a large fenced in back yard and send photos multiple times throughout the day. They even agreed to watch our pup last minute during the holiday when a family emergency came up. They’re our “go-to”. Highly recommend, just not when we need them ;)”
“Caitlin is a reliable Dog Sitter for my dog, Sara. She communicates, she’s timely, she provides good feedback and sends pictures. I trust Caitlin every time. She’s become our regular dog sitter when we go to the Cape.”
About: Hi! We’re a dependable, dog-loving family offering in-home dog boarding and dog sitting on Cape Cod. If you’re looking for a safe, attentive, and comfortable home for your dog while you’re away, you’ve found it. We both work from home, so your dog will never be alone. We have a small, friendly Labradoodle who loves other dogs and is very used to sharing his space. Because of that, visiting dogs typically adjust quickly and feel right at home here. We’ve cared for many friends’ dogs over the years, including puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. We’re comfortable with different temperaments, energy levels, and routines, from active dogs who need lots of playtime and walks to more relaxed dogs who just want a calm, cozy environment. We have used pet sitters several times for our own travels, so we know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your beloved fur baby with a stranger. We will make your dog one of our family and give you regular updates, including photos. We know how important it is to trust who you leave your dog with. Our goal is simple: make your dog feel safe, happy, and cared for, so you can relax while you’re away. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a meet & greet—we’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits very naturally into our daily routine because we both work from home full-time. This allows us to build our day around the dogs in our care rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. Our typical day includes morning potty breaks and walks, followed by a relaxed workday where dogs have plenty of supervision, companionship, and opportunities to go outside as needed. We take breaks throughout the day for playtime, short walks, and attention, depending on each dog’s energy level and routine. In the evenings, we usually incorporate longer walks, playtime, or wind-down time, making sure dogs are settled and comfortable before bedtime. Because dogs are part of our home environment, they’re included in our daily rhythm—not treated as an afterthought. On weekends, we’re generally home and maintain a similar routine, with even more flexibility for walks, outdoor time, and one-on-one attention. Overall, having dogs in our care is something we genuinely enjoy and prioritize, and our schedule allows us to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day and week. We care for every dog as if they’re our own, with a focus on keeping their routine consistent, their environment safe, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. Before any stay, we take time to understand your dog’s daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any quirks or preferences—so we can mirror what they’re used to at home as closely as possible. In our home, dogs get: Plenty of supervision (we both work from home, so they’re rarely alone) Regular potty breaks, walks, and playtime based on their energy level A calm, safe environment with space to relax or socialize Lots of attention and affection throughout the day We’re also comfortable administering basic medications if needed and following any specific care instructions you provide.
“Karen was wonderful! We dropped our dog off for two nights while visiting family over the weekend. She was very kind and communicative throughout our dog's stay. It was our first time our dog had stayed with her, so the photos and updates were very helpful and appreciated! She gave our dog 1:1 time on walks and sent pictures of our dog relaxing in her home. We were later to pick-up than expected, and she was flexible and understanding! Thank you, Karen for your help with Blue!”
“Debra took great care of our two dogs, Mia & Apollo, over the Christmas weekend. Debra & her husband were very accommodating as it was such a last minute booking due to our original sitter cancelling on us. They have a massive back yard that our pups loved zooming around in. Would definitely recommend!”
“Caitlin was amazing with our young puppy of 4 months, Pepper. It’s the first time we left her and we felt 100% comfortable. She updated regularly with photos and kept our pup safe and happy. Thanks Caitlin!!!!”
“Julie did an excellent job with Brady. I felt very comfortable with Julie's care of Brady. Julie's house and fenced in yard was very nice and very well kept. Julie was very nice and took the job of taking care of Brady very seriously and communicated with me though the app on how Brady was doing.”
“Samantha took amazing care of my little cat and guinea pig . She was on time , commutative and showed that she really has a big heart that cares about people and their animals. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for her amazing service.”
“Penny had the BEST time with Andrea and Bob. They were so sweet to her and took her out on a few adventures. They were great about sending pictures and updates and could tell they really cared for her. Will book again next time we are on the cape! Highly recommend! Thank you!!”
“Sam and Pam were wonderful with Finn. They looked after him so well and treated him with such care! We appreciated everything they did for us and Finn loved every minute with them! We absolutely would book them again without question!”
“Ann was great! We did a meet and greet ahead of time and communication was great for the overnight. You could tell Philly was comfortable the whole time. Will absolutely book again.”
