“Maizy came home from her visit with Whitney very relaxed. She seems to have enjoyed her time there. Whitney asked a lot of questions before we left Maizy with her, so I felt confident that she was going to take good care of her. She also responded immediately to all of my texts. Whitney and David are very calm and kind which is just what Maizy needs to feel comfortable in an unfamiliar place. I would definitely trust them again!”

“We could not be more thankful for Jing and her family’s wonderful care of our pup! It was clear that Harper had a blast and was treated as a part of Jing’s family. While we were away, Jing’s intermittent photo updates with Harper let us know our puppy was enjoying her own vacation. Jing also went out of her way to help us coordinate pickup times when our travel plans changed. We hope Harper has a chance to stay with Jung again sometime in the future- we know she would love it.”

Brody usually gets separation anxiety but became comfortable with Kayla surprisingly quickly, had so much fun playing with her pup Bandit, and came home plum tuckered out! I’m so happy and relieved to have found Kayla and will certainly be returning to her next time I need a sitter!”
“Jamie , Kenzie and Nikki were AMAZING taking care of Escarcha. We know that she was completely safe and well fed and they sent us videos and photos of everyone playing with her. Escarcha even warmed up to their dog Sammy although she doesn’t love hanging with other dogs. We highly recommend them!!”

Top notch dog sitter”

Always kept informed and in the loop with what his day to day was looking like, from watching movies to playing with this really gross toy he is obsessed with. We will definitely be back for future trips. Thanks Barbara!”

Would have her watch our cat anytime, I wish I could give a 10 star rating!”

“I highly recommend Ling & Ye...they were fantastic! Our schedule was more dynamic than we had intended and they were very flexible. Our boy Riley, 1-year old Golden, had great time and can't wait to get back to see his new friends!”
About: I've taken care of dogs for most of my life. I love dogs and any animal in general. I have experience with puppies, rescues, senior dogs, and pet sat for a lot of friends and family. Thankfully no bad experiences. I would love to help keep your pet safe and happy. I work from home, my dog is always with me. The backyard is great for going potty and playing. The neighborhood is nice to go on walks. My backyard is not fenced but they won't be left unwatched outside. As long as the dogs are friendly there will be no issues at home.
“We were delighted with the care for Hugo. We were nervous about leaving him with a new family in unaccustomed surroundings but he clearly had a nice time and was very relaxed when he came home.”
“Jamie was great! Was flexible with an early pickup, communicated quickly, and took good care of our pup. Benji immediately made himself at home and seemed sad to go, he enjoyed his time with Jamie and Sammie.”
“If I could imagine a perfect situation for my new puppy, Greta, Sarah’s home would be it. She is a true dog lover and immediately bonded with Greta (and us!) when we first met. She has also been incredibly helpful in continuing Greta’s training, even when we’re not around, which has made such a positive impact on her development. Greta gets so excited to go to daycare and always comes home happily exhausted. We love seeing the photos of her playing with Sarah’s dogs, it’s clear she’s having a great time, and it’s also helped her learn how to socialize and interact with other dogs. We feel completely at ease knowing Greta is in Sarah’s care, it truly feels like she has a second family. We couldn’t recommend Sarah more highly for any of your dog-sitting needs!”
“Rowan had a wonderful first day of doggy day care. He got to spend time with fantastic friends, play outside and go on walks. Will definitely book again.”
About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life. Our home consists of me and my husband and our 4 daughters. We are all animal lovers. I am a stay at home mom, so I am home all day long. I will make sure the dogs get plenty of bathroom breaks and outside time. We are a family of 6. Your dogs will get a lot of love and affection. We also have a fenced in yard to keep them safe.
“Kayla took great care of Ruby while dog sitting. She provided plenty of updates and my pup had fun day with Kayla and her family. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kayla again for sitting!”
“Julie and Patrick have been unbelievable with Annie. They provide a very calming environment for her which is exactly what she needs. Annie is a recent rescue and has some trust issues with people. I cannot think of anyone we would rather leave Annie with as we know she will be welcomed and well looked after.”
“Wanda was very responsive and able to accomidate my dog at the last minute. She did a great job taking care of my pup for the day and I'd definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a good sitter.”
“Shuhua is kind and very professional. Hermes ( my little Yorkie) was very happy with her. She is trust worthy and is a great communicator. I am sure Hermes is missing her companion ship. I will recommend her without any hesitancy. Thank you Sue.”
“Emma was a lifesaver! We needed to book hour of and Emma responded right away. We were not aware our Airbnb did not permit pets to stay unsupervised, we were only in Boston for the day and needed to find daycare in a hurry. Emma was responsive, kind and took great care of our dog. Super appreciative and highly recommend if in the area:)”
“Shuai and his team are the most amazing, loving, caring animal lovers I've met. They asked me so many great questions about Teddy beforehand and made sure I always had my questions answered... I asked a lot of questions! They reassured and validated all my feelings about having a puppy and sending him to them. They picked up and dropped Teddy off in a timely manner and made him feel safe during the ride. They sent me pictures and updates all day/night when they had Teddy and made sure I was always in the loop with how he was doing. They even helped initiate some training and had him going in the carrier not scared which was a huge win! They played with him all day and took beautiful pictures that I now cherish. I can't recommend them enough. If you're looking for someone, choose Shuai!”
“Rachel was wonderful with Paisley! Rachel sent frequent updates and pictures throughout the day to keep us updated on all the fun they were having! Would definitely recommend Rachel in the future!”

Charlie’s responsible, caring, fun, and shows a genuine love in caring for animals. I feel a real sense of comfort having such a kind and attentive sitter for my dog! I’m truly grateful!”
