“Our 10 month old golden retriever had a great time staying with Dina. She was able to accommodate us last minute. She was wonderful with him! Her communication was much appreciated during our time away. We will 100% be using Dina in the near future.”
“Julie was absolutely wonderful with my senior girls, Sophie & Lucy. She has our routine down and the girls are comfortable with her. She is very responsible and caring.”
“Kevin has been an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Damai, over the past couple of years. Damai always feels comfortable and happy staying with her, which gives me so much peace of mind whenever I’m out of town. Kevin is incredibly responsible, attentive, and truly cares about the dogs she watches. Her dog, Dofus, is also very friendly and welcoming, and Damai absolutely loves spending time there. Kevin’s place has become Damai’s go-to home away from home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”
“Kyla was a superb sitter for our young pup. We were so anxious over having to leave him with someone as he has had a tough time already in life with being born in a street in Texas, then having to stay in a shelter in a pen for almost three months to then being brought to Tennessee to a shelter where he was adopted by us. Then he had to take a long Trek to Connecticut in a semi trailer with 150 other dogs crated the whole trip where we picked him up. He is very anxious and not use to other people or animals. I must say Kyla was super great with Franklin. She did everything we had asked even down to the insane feeding ways we have. We left a long list with Kyla as if we were leaving a human child and she fulfilled each and every one and then some. She is a very caring, kind and loving animal sitter. Her house is super clean and a great environment for any pet. Her children are just the cutest and very helpful with the animals. They love animals and are very gentle with them which was so cute to see. Kyla was super great about sending daily pictures and updates to us about Franklin. She keeps things very professional and I will certainly recommend her to anyone who wants a home away from home for there pet while they vacation or work. We will definitely use her pet boarding services again.”
“Heather is outstanding as always. My dog is so attached to me and hates to be left with others, but when I picked her up this time, she clearly could not decide if she wanted to go with me or stay with Heather! Four paws up from Moon!”
“Thank you once again for making our Thanksgiving holiday worry free. We loved the pictures and updates. I am sure that our pup is eager for us to find an excuse to bring her back.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Matt and Patty provided for our Golden Retriever during the 10 nights we were out of the country. From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable leaving him in their care. We were able to visit their home beforehand, and they have a wonderful setup, including a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for him to play. Throughout our trip, Matt and Patty sent us frequent updates and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. They took him on daily walks around the neighborhood, gave him lots of attention, and it was very clear that he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. What really stood out to us was how they handled a day when he wasn’t feeling well and developed some stomach issues. Matt immediately contacted us, proactively made an appointment with the vet, and made sure we were comfortable with him taking our dog in to be seen. Afterward, Matt and Patty followed the vet’s recommendations closely and even cooked rice and beef for his meals for several days while his stomach recovered. They truly cared for him as if he were their own. When we returned, we came home to a very happy puppy, and we could tell he had been loved and well cared for the entire time. We are so excited to have found Matt and Patty. Finding people you can completely trust with your dog while you’re away is incredibly important, and we feel very fortunate to have found such reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring sitters. We would absolutely recommend them and will not hesitate to have them care for our dog again!”
“Adonis was with Julie for a 2 week stay and had a blast! He quickly settled into her house and almost immediately took ownership of protecting her from all squirrels and other animals outside the house. He loves to play and Julie was awesome about sending us pictures of his stay with her. She was great with his food and even went the extra mile to feed him alternate food when he was not eating one day. Adonis bonded with Julie and we would love to have him stay with her again!”
“Maeve greets Leo like he is her family member! He happily runs in and is at home immediately. She texts me photos every day and is accomodating when my drop off and pick up times are in flux. Great dog sitter!”
“Our dogs stayed overnight for 3 nights. They were calm and happy when I picked them up. Our Cavalier usually is quite nervous but she was very comfortable with Bethany. Bethany stays in touch and is very responsive. We will be boarding our dogs with her in the future.”
“I highly recommend Ms. Jackie. My dog received the care and attention he needed. Ms. Jackie is very friendly, trustworthy and dependable. You will not be disappointed!”
“Alexandra and Joseph have taken great care of our dog a few times now and he always comes back happy and communication with them has been great. We enjoy the picture updates and he loves playing with all the dogs. Would recommend them highly.”
“Andrew and family took wonderful care of my dog Sammie. They made the process so easy and sent pictures of our girl with updates. I highly recommend them and will use their services again.”
“Bridget was great! We appreciated the updates and photos while we were away—they gave us complete confidence that Willow was in excellent hands. Bridget was a prompt and clear communicator, and her attentiveness to our dog’s needs was genuinely appreciated. We would be delighted to work with her again!”
“Stacy was amazing! She communicated very well and was great with our lab! She has a big back yard and welcomed our dog into her home with open arms. We felt very comfortable leaving her with Stacy! 10/10 service.”
“Peggy and her family are amazing and lion had the best time! My little lion is almost 14 years old and needs extra love and care and Peggy was so good with her, giving her lots of extra cuddles and making sure she went outside a lot to use the bathroom since she can’t hold it as well now. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Liliya and her family were great with Sophie. This was Sophie’s first experience staying with a sitter so I was a bit nervous how she would do. During Sophie’s stay Liliya sent many pics and updates about Sophie’s routine. This really put my mind at ease and Sophie seemed very content. I also love that Liliya, her husband and two young kids played a role in the sitting which means Sophie got lots of attention. I highly recommend Liliya! I will be using her again next time I travel.”
“Meli was a great sitter! She’s very friendly and attentive. She also has great communication and gave us plenty of updates. I can tell our puppy had a great time while staying with her 😊”
“Jennifer took such good care of Archie and his special medical needs. He did not seem stressed at all. She sent me updates multiple times daily. I would highly recommend her.”

“Sydney was amazing! She took excellent care of my three cats. The most shy of the group even made friends with Sydney! Highly recommend Sydney if you are looking for someone to care for your pets.”
“We are so happy we booked with Kerry! It was wonderful getting to meet her during our meet and greet, and we felt comfortable leaving our Labrador Retriever, Enzo, in her care. My husband and I were away for two days, and Kerry provided drop-in visits that included walks, feeding, playtime in the backyard, fresh water, and lots of great company for Enzo while we were away. She was so attentive and responsive throughout our time away and kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell Enzo was happy and well cared for, and we truly appreciated how thoughtful and reliable Kerry was. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pets like their own! 🐾❤️”
“Kiley took such great care of our cat Finn! She was available on short notice and took time to come over and meet him the day before. Finn was a happy boy when we got home! We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve always known I wanted to be around dogs, that I’ve taken care of my families dog across states and stayed as long as wanted willingly, never asked for Pet care is an enjoyment for me as I’m an animal lover and have done a couple pre vet classes in college that i still attend I have two dogs of my own at home and take them out separately. I take my smaller dog out every two hours & play as i have a big backyard
“Jessica was amazing! She was quick to connect, reply, and set up a meet and greet. She took great care of our cats who both require medication and TLC. Will definitely book again!”
“Cate is amazing! She saved our vacation twice! First time by being willing to step in last minute after plans with another sitter fell through - Cate did a same day meet & greet and impressed us so much with her calm competence that we felt okay leaving. The second time was by winning over our most neurotic kitty and convincing her to eat, so we could continue our vacation rather than driving back to feed her (which has happened before)! Cate took beautiful photos of all our kitties, and quickly mastered administering multiple meds and fluids to our most senior kitty. She kept us completely updated all the time we were away. We are so happy we found Cate and look forward to having her take care of our kitties again!”
“Marcella did a great job with my kitties this week. Cole has a "difficult" personality but has come to trust and like her - I am so excited about this! I feel comfortable leaving my "kids" with Marcella.”
“Anna was amazing with our cat, Mozzarella! This was our first time using Rover, and she made the whole process so easy with her great communication and updates. Mozzarella absolutely loved her! We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. We’re so excited to book with Anna again in the future!”
“Jennifer was great. From our very first meet and greet at our home, our cat felt very comfortable with Jen. She uses the app every visit to check in and sends photos daily as we requested. We would highly recommend her and will work with her again in the future.”
“Cheryl was easy to work with, and went above and beyond our expectations! She communicated with us contiguously throughout our vacation. We hopefully will be able to work with her again going forward :)”
“Stephanie has been awesome with my cat!! She was extremely flexible as our travel plans had to change and made sure our furry friend was in the best company while we were gone. We will definitely be hiring Stephanie for all of our future visits!”
“USophia was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our dog while we were away for the weekend and truly went above and beyond. We had her scheduled for three drop-in visits each day, and she was always on time and often stayed even longer than expected to spend extra time with our dog, which meant so much to us. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire weekend. She sent us lots of photos and updates at every visit, so we were able to see how our dog was doing and felt completely at ease while we were away. Sophia was incredibly kind, attentive, reliable, and clearly genuinely cares about the animals she watches. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust Sophia with our dog again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring. We will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️”

“Andrew is great and very responsive. Whiskey had a good time and he’s surely been in great hands. Would definitely ask Andrew to watch Whiskey again! Thank you Andrew for taking care!!”
“We connected with Bridget for some last-minute day care services. She was very responsive and accommodating. After our initial meet-and-greet, our dog made herself right at home when we dropped her off for her first day at daycare. We felt comfortable and at ease leaving our dog in Bridget's care along with her dogs Mac and Zuzu (who are both very sweet!). She also sent us pictures and updates while we were away, which we very much appreciated. We highly recommend!”
“We brought our Falco for daycare with Misael and we were so happy with the service!! Misael was super responsive and Falco seemed very happy to be there. Misael sent pictures and updates regularly. There was a nice yard and Falco was able to roam around to his heart’s content. Falco is a big boy and Misael and his family treated Falco like their own. We will be using his service again soon for overnight boarding and feel really comfortable with them. Thanks for making us feel like Falco is safe with you!!! Highly recommend!!”
“This is the first time I have tried daycare since getting my dog. My dog literally have never been to a stranger's house alone before, so I was a bit worried. Dwi is very patient, caring and professional. It gave me a lot confidence.It’s a fantastic experience with her. I highly recommend Dwi.”
About: I’ve had the privilege of being a dog owner since the age of 13. Dogs are a part of my life and are so healing to the soul. I’ve had years of experience in loving and taking care of these fur babies. I do well with following instructions, being respectful, and creating a safe space & home for your pups. I would consider myself to be a great and responsible dog mom, sitter, and would love and take care of your dog like my own. I’m a stay at home mom and have the time to take care and play with your pups. I have space in my backyard for playtime and potty time and live in a beautiful neighborhood to go on walks for fresh air and exercise. My family spends a lot of time outside and so will your pup (weather permitting of course). I’m available during weekdays and weekends. My services include boarding and doggy day care. I have a backyard and beautiful deck to get plenty of playtime and sunshine. I also live right across the street from a large park that we can take trips to. I have a small and friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I will keep your dog on a leash while outside and/or can close off the deck for a more secure area.
“Corrine took such AMAZING care of our little havanese. Her dogs are amazing and play well with smaller breeds and the space they have for the dogs to run around is so great. Would highly recommend!”
“I dropped off my puppy at Jacqueline’s apartment at 7 AM. She took great care of her, walking her and sending me updates via pictures (though she didn’t have to)! Thank you so much, Jacqueline!”
“Angelisa is very nice and diligent. She takes good care of my Labrador puppy. He is always very happy and when I pick him up. She handles him well and her kids seem to be very sweet with him. Will definitely use again.”
“Fantastic experience with Megan. Felt completely comfortable leaving Teddy in her care. Lots of communication and sweet pictures throughout the stay. Teddy was happy and relaxed when we picked him up. 100% recommend!”
“Bethany is an amazing dog sitter. Our pup loves her! We couldn't ask for a better sitter!! She sends us pictures of our pups adventures and he gets so excited to go there!”
About: I have 2 dogs of my own and foster puppies and adult dogs as well. We also have chickens. I love animals of all types and understand how difficult it can be to find someone you trust with their care. I am a Registered Nurse and caring for animals comes as natural to me as caring for people. Caring for your pets gives me the flexibility to spend time with them but also be available as a mom. My daughter loves animals and is very helpful and loving. I have a flexible work schedule and mostly work from home. I am able to interact while working and provide frequent potty breaks and extra attention as needed. I do feed separately to avoid food aggression issues which can sometimes happen in new environments. I have 2 dogs of my own and a fenced in yard. There is plenty of space to run and play and also lounge and nap! We’d love to know what your dog's typical routine is at home as well as any behaviors (food/toy aggression) or quirks we should be aware of. I will do my best to accommodate any special needs. Please let us know if they are on any medications or have any health issues. I DO NOT accept dogs that are aggressive, excessive barkers, non-house trained, destructive, or have severe separation anxiety. All dogs who stay in our home must be well socialized, healthy (i.e. not sick with any contagious diseases that could be passed onto humans or other dogs) and up to date on their vaccines and flea/tick preventatives. Required vaccinations: Rabies Distemper Bordetella (kennel cough)
About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. I’ve raised and cared for an Akita mix and a Maine Coon cat who both lived exceptionally long, happy lives—thanks to the wholesome, low‑stress lifestyle they enjoyed on the farm. I understand how much pets mean to their families, and I take pride in creating a safe, calm, and nurturing environment for every animal in my care. Since losing my own pets, I’ve truly missed the companionship and joy they brought to my daily routine. Pet sitting gives me the chance to reconnect with that love while offering dependable, thoughtful care to your pet. Whether they need exercise, affection, structure, or simply someone patient and attentive, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable and well‑loved while you’re away. 🌟What to Expect When You Book With Me 🌟As a stay‑at‑home mom to a 9‑month‑old, I’m able to offer a high level of flexibility and consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Your pet will never be left alone, and I maintain a calm, predictable routine that helps animals feel secure and comfortable. 🌟Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, you can expect reliable communication, timely updates, and thoughtful attention to their individual needs. I’m home the majority of the time (and when I’m not home, dogs come with me) which allows me to closely follow feeding schedules, outdoor routines, activity play, and any special instructions you provide. 🌟Pets in my care enjoy a balanced, enriching routine that keeps them active, relaxed, and mentally stimulated. Each day includes plenty of outdoor time, whether that’s a peaceful walk around the property, a short hike on nearby trails, or a visit to one of the local parks for fresh air and new sights. Throughout the day, I maintain a steady rhythm of play, rest, and companionship. Because I’m home full‑time, your pet receives consistent attention and engagement, with activities tailored to their energy level and personality. Whether they thrive on adventure or prefer gentle outings and quiet time, I make sure their day feels fulfilling, safe, and enjoyable. 🌟Care in My Home I live on a quiet farm property at the end of a dead‑end road. This means no through‑traffic, no noise disruptions, and a peaceful setting that helps pets settle in easily. The property has spacious front and back yard areas for supervised outdoor time, and the living space itself is clean, organized, and free of hazards. Because I’m home throughout the day, your pet receives steady attention, consistent monitoring, and a predictable routine that supports their comfort and safety. 🌟Care in Your Home When caring for pets in their own environment, I focus on maintaining the routines and expectations they already know. I follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and stay attentive to details like feeding schedules, gates, doors, and any special safety considerations you share. This helps your pet feel grounded and secure while you’re away. Across all services, I value trust, communication, and reliability. You can expect thoughtful decision‑making, clear updates, and a steady, caring presence dedicated to keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and understood.
About: I have had cats and dogs for over 6 years (with many more years of hamster experience) and my husband was raised with many pets since he was 3 years old (cats, dogs, chicken and even birds). We like being surrounded by fur babies! We have three kitties and one Golden Doodle that is eager to have fun with your dog (he is very gentle despite his large size). Both my husband and I work remotely so at least one of us will be at the house at all times. We will be able to take care of your pet’s needs! We have a fenced yard (with night lights!) with ample space for dogs to run and do their business. We have a fully-furnished basement where guests doggies can spend as much private time as they want, sleep on the bean bag, or look at the window to the outside! We have crates that are large and medium in case they are needed.
“Christopher, Ali, their kids, and their pups were great. They kept me updated throughout the day. They shared videos, photos, and updates throughout my puppy’s stay. I was super nervous but they made the experience great.”
“Maeve took excellent care of our puppy, Barnaby. It was his first time with a sitter, and first time meeting another dog, and Maeve made it so easy. She communicated with me promptly, sent photos, and Barnaby loved being with her. 100% recommend.”
About: I have have experience owning dogs from chihuahua size to vizsla size, and experience fostering/house sitting everything in between. I love dogs around here, and will be treated like family. Your pet will stay home with me and my 11 year vizsla all day. He/she will have immediate access to our 2 acre of wooded and yard property as often as needed. We also take 2-5 mile hikes often, and they are welcome to join. Your pet will have Watson, our super friendly and active 11 ye old Vizsla for company as well as 2acres to explore. Cold winter days are spent in front of a wood stove fire, and the rest of the time pets are welcome (if not encouraged!) to spend time on sofas and beds for snuggles and naps. Dogs are family here.
“Lydia is great and very responsive!! Whiskey had a good time with Lydia and had lots of fun with her dog Izzy. He’s surely been in great hands and would definitely ask Lydia to watch Whiskey again and recommend her to others!!”
“Enid was great! Sent me lots of pics and kept me updated and made me feel comfortable! She has a fenced in backyard and Kuna came back happy and healthy! She was very accommodating when I got stuck in traffic on the way back and I really appreciated that!!”
About: My very friendly little dog and I would love to host your dog here with us, up to 40 pounds only though...Or if your pal would benefit from a playmate, we would love to come sit for you! Well first off, I've been trusted with the care of many precious pets for years now...And enjoy it very much...I am fun, caring, and engaging, as well as all ble's, reliable, dependable, and responsible! And I took a CPR pet course, and human one as well. I have had cats mostly all my life, and now own a small dog of my own, who as I stated earlier, could, or doesn't have to if need be, come with me, as some love to have a playmate for their pet...And I know my friendly little guy very much enjoys the visit. But with anyone coming to my home, my guy will be there too, and they must all be friendly, and then we have nothing but a good time. Which brings me to, I can watch any animal, esp in the animals home and of any size...It is my home that, as also mentioned above, I would only be able to take in a small or medium sized dog, cat, or caged pet. And my home, that I live in with just my little guy, is pretty open and spacious for dogs to move around, and I have fenced in my backyard just off the back door porch for even more run around fun. And now onto my prices, I had to do additions a certian way on here...As to plus a cat if I'm also coming to care for your dog...But I can always modify and give a discount if say you have many plus one cats in your home so it doesn't keep plus one'ing a fee...Or if you have wonderfully easy small dogs, I would not keep plus one'ing for those and would find a nice set fee, and especially if my little guy could also come enjoy them, or they could come spend the time with us...It's the large ones that can be more of a handful and take a bit more doing often times, that I have to have it set that way for. And I did just recently up my prices some as I've noticed that Rover charges per night and I am not loving that, I always on my own charge per day, so I up'd my prices some to reflect that. But have noticed that I am still under many, esp when it comes to multiple pets, and so that is good. So you can always send me a msg and we can discuss any and all options. I can often work staying elsewhere into my routine, even if many miles away...Pop ins as well can be worked in more easily than not...Esp when it's on the way to work or right near work...And my work schedule often varies and can be shifted if need be...But that brings me to, work is part time, so I won't be gone hours upon hours at a time, but those hours could fall into the evening as in dinner could be an hour or 2 late an evening or 2, if that is alright. And I put a certain radius...But I have stayed in homes miles and miles away, out of state even, just ask if it's doable, it very well may be! But for pop ins and walks, I would prefer to travel within 10 miles or so from my home only. So I did just update this for a 45 miles out, but obviously I cannot be doing a pop in or daily walk so far away. I care for pets in my home or their home the same way I care for my pet in his home...With the added, well, additions that your pet may need. My home is often more foolproof safe...Such as I have an indoor fenced area around my front door...And I do sometimes bring something similar with me to others homes...I prefer to be (overly) safe than sorry.

About: I have 2 dogs of my own and foster puppies and adult dogs as well. We also have chickens. I love animals of all types and understand how difficult it can be to find someone you trust with their care. I am a Registered Nurse and caring for animals comes as natural to me as caring for people. Caring for your pets gives me the flexibility to spend time with them but also be available as a mom. My daughter loves animals and is very helpful and loving. I have a flexible work schedule and mostly work from home. I am able to interact while working and provide frequent potty breaks and extra attention as needed. I do feed separately to avoid food aggression issues which can sometimes happen in new environments. I have 2 dogs of my own and a fenced in yard. There is plenty of space to run and play and also lounge and nap! We’d love to know what your dog's typical routine is at home as well as any behaviors (food/toy aggression) or quirks we should be aware of. I will do my best to accommodate any special needs. Please let us know if they are on any medications or have any health issues. I DO NOT accept dogs that are aggressive, excessive barkers, non-house trained, destructive, or have severe separation anxiety. All dogs who stay in our home must be well socialized, healthy (i.e. not sick with any contagious diseases that could be passed onto humans or other dogs) and up to date on their vaccines and flea/tick preventatives. Required vaccinations: Rabies Distemper Bordetella (kennel cough)
About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. I’ve raised and cared for an Akita mix and a Maine Coon cat who both lived exceptionally long, happy lives—thanks to the wholesome, low‑stress lifestyle they enjoyed on the farm. I understand how much pets mean to their families, and I take pride in creating a safe, calm, and nurturing environment for every animal in my care. Since losing my own pets, I’ve truly missed the companionship and joy they brought to my daily routine. Pet sitting gives me the chance to reconnect with that love while offering dependable, thoughtful care to your pet. Whether they need exercise, affection, structure, or simply someone patient and attentive, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable and well‑loved while you’re away. 🌟What to Expect When You Book With Me 🌟As a stay‑at‑home mom to a 9‑month‑old, I’m able to offer a high level of flexibility and consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Your pet will never be left alone, and I maintain a calm, predictable routine that helps animals feel secure and comfortable. 🌟Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, you can expect reliable communication, timely updates, and thoughtful attention to their individual needs. I’m home the majority of the time (and when I’m not home, dogs come with me) which allows me to closely follow feeding schedules, outdoor routines, activity play, and any special instructions you provide. 🌟Pets in my care enjoy a balanced, enriching routine that keeps them active, relaxed, and mentally stimulated. Each day includes plenty of outdoor time, whether that’s a peaceful walk around the property, a short hike on nearby trails, or a visit to one of the local parks for fresh air and new sights. Throughout the day, I maintain a steady rhythm of play, rest, and companionship. Because I’m home full‑time, your pet receives consistent attention and engagement, with activities tailored to their energy level and personality. Whether they thrive on adventure or prefer gentle outings and quiet time, I make sure their day feels fulfilling, safe, and enjoyable. 🌟Care in My Home I live on a quiet farm property at the end of a dead‑end road. This means no through‑traffic, no noise disruptions, and a peaceful setting that helps pets settle in easily. The property has spacious front and back yard areas for supervised outdoor time, and the living space itself is clean, organized, and free of hazards. Because I’m home throughout the day, your pet receives steady attention, consistent monitoring, and a predictable routine that supports their comfort and safety. 🌟Care in Your Home When caring for pets in their own environment, I focus on maintaining the routines and expectations they already know. I follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and stay attentive to details like feeding schedules, gates, doors, and any special safety considerations you share. This helps your pet feel grounded and secure while you’re away. Across all services, I value trust, communication, and reliability. You can expect thoughtful decision‑making, clear updates, and a steady, caring presence dedicated to keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and understood.
“Carolyn was great with my senior dog and cat! I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter. Will definitely request her for pet setting again in the future!”
About: I've grown up around dogs and cats my whole life. I have cared for pets while friends/family were away and enjoy doing so. I love spending time with animals. At the moment I am part time and have my daughter. My schedule is very open. Even on my work days I am free the first half of the day. However you want them taken care of is how I will do so. Always with love and kindness. I see my pets as my family.
About: I have been a true pet lover my entire life. Now I raise two daughters who feel the same way. There has never been an animal we did not love. I have been the one all of my friends and family always rely on to help walk, feed, bathe, and take care of their pets. I have a lot of energy so love being active and going on walks and hikes and running around with a dog. I am happy to have an animal cuddled onto my lap and do not even mind being licked all over my face! I treat every pet as if it was my own. I trained two dogs from 8 weeks old, on so understand what it takes. I have had a cats my entire life and I love kitties as well! I am comfortable with big and small animals. My children are the biggest animal lovers I know and both want to be vets when they grow up. We would treat your pet like it was our own with more love than you can imagine! My girls and I are around most of the summer, as I work in a school. We are very active so we would love to be out and about walking and taking care of your dog or taking care of your cats! If I were to come to your home and take care of your pet or walk your dog, I would be very comfortable letting myself in and approaching any time of animal. I would give them all the love in the world an any care or exercise they need!

“Our 10 month old golden retriever had a great time staying with Dina. She was able to accommodate us last minute. She was wonderful with him! Her communication was much appreciated during our time away. We will 100% be using Dina in the near future.”
“Julie was absolutely wonderful with my senior girls, Sophie & Lucy. She has our routine down and the girls are comfortable with her. She is very responsible and caring.”
“Kevin has been an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Damai, over the past couple of years. Damai always feels comfortable and happy staying with her, which gives me so much peace of mind whenever I’m out of town. Kevin is incredibly responsible, attentive, and truly cares about the dogs she watches. Her dog, Dofus, is also very friendly and welcoming, and Damai absolutely loves spending time there. Kevin’s place has become Damai’s go-to home away from home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”
“Kyla was a superb sitter for our young pup. We were so anxious over having to leave him with someone as he has had a tough time already in life with being born in a street in Texas, then having to stay in a shelter in a pen for almost three months to then being brought to Tennessee to a shelter where he was adopted by us. Then he had to take a long Trek to Connecticut in a semi trailer with 150 other dogs crated the whole trip where we picked him up. He is very anxious and not use to other people or animals. I must say Kyla was super great with Franklin. She did everything we had asked even down to the insane feeding ways we have. We left a long list with Kyla as if we were leaving a human child and she fulfilled each and every one and then some. She is a very caring, kind and loving animal sitter. Her house is super clean and a great environment for any pet. Her children are just the cutest and very helpful with the animals. They love animals and are very gentle with them which was so cute to see. Kyla was super great about sending daily pictures and updates to us about Franklin. She keeps things very professional and I will certainly recommend her to anyone who wants a home away from home for there pet while they vacation or work. We will definitely use her pet boarding services again.”
“Heather is outstanding as always. My dog is so attached to me and hates to be left with others, but when I picked her up this time, she clearly could not decide if she wanted to go with me or stay with Heather! Four paws up from Moon!”
“Thank you once again for making our Thanksgiving holiday worry free. We loved the pictures and updates. I am sure that our pup is eager for us to find an excuse to bring her back.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Matt and Patty provided for our Golden Retriever during the 10 nights we were out of the country. From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable leaving him in their care. We were able to visit their home beforehand, and they have a wonderful setup, including a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for him to play. Throughout our trip, Matt and Patty sent us frequent updates and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. They took him on daily walks around the neighborhood, gave him lots of attention, and it was very clear that he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. What really stood out to us was how they handled a day when he wasn’t feeling well and developed some stomach issues. Matt immediately contacted us, proactively made an appointment with the vet, and made sure we were comfortable with him taking our dog in to be seen. Afterward, Matt and Patty followed the vet’s recommendations closely and even cooked rice and beef for his meals for several days while his stomach recovered. They truly cared for him as if he were their own. When we returned, we came home to a very happy puppy, and we could tell he had been loved and well cared for the entire time. We are so excited to have found Matt and Patty. Finding people you can completely trust with your dog while you’re away is incredibly important, and we feel very fortunate to have found such reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring sitters. We would absolutely recommend them and will not hesitate to have them care for our dog again!”
“Adonis was with Julie for a 2 week stay and had a blast! He quickly settled into her house and almost immediately took ownership of protecting her from all squirrels and other animals outside the house. He loves to play and Julie was awesome about sending us pictures of his stay with her. She was great with his food and even went the extra mile to feed him alternate food when he was not eating one day. Adonis bonded with Julie and we would love to have him stay with her again!”
“Our dogs stayed overnight for 3 nights. They were calm and happy when I picked them up. Our Cavalier usually is quite nervous but she was very comfortable with Bethany. Bethany stays in touch and is very responsive. We will be boarding our dogs with her in the future.”
“Alexandra and Joseph have taken great care of our dog a few times now and he always comes back happy and communication with them has been great. We enjoy the picture updates and he loves playing with all the dogs. Would recommend them highly.”
“Andrew and family took wonderful care of my dog Sammie. They made the process so easy and sent pictures of our girl with updates. I highly recommend them and will use their services again.”
“Bridget was great! We appreciated the updates and photos while we were away—they gave us complete confidence that Willow was in excellent hands. Bridget was a prompt and clear communicator, and her attentiveness to our dog’s needs was genuinely appreciated. We would be delighted to work with her again!”
“Stacy was amazing! She communicated very well and was great with our lab! She has a big back yard and welcomed our dog into her home with open arms. We felt very comfortable leaving her with Stacy! 10/10 service.”
“Peggy and her family are amazing and lion had the best time! My little lion is almost 14 years old and needs extra love and care and Peggy was so good with her, giving her lots of extra cuddles and making sure she went outside a lot to use the bathroom since she can’t hold it as well now. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Jennifer took such good care of Archie and his special medical needs. He did not seem stressed at all. She sent me updates multiple times daily. I would highly recommend her.”
“Ana took such good care of our pup Rosie! She was so easy to communicate with and sent daily updates, with pictures and videos! Rosie loved playing with her dog, Lola, and came home exhausted in the best way!”
“Marcia and her husband were wonderful with my golden retriever Theo. I got lots of updates and he got lots of cuddles, walks, and playtime. He came home happy and tired - thank you!!”
“Anthony and Zanely took such good care of our dog while we were away. They kept us updated, took her on adventures, and spent quality time with her. Would definitely recommend them!”
