“John and his wife did an amazing job taking care of our lab Rocky. Rocky and Dolly immediately hit it off when we dropped him off! John sent regular updates which helped give me peace of mind and communication via text was greatly appreciated! We will be returning! I cannot recommend them enough! Thank you for treating Rocky like he was apart of your family!”
“Peter and Monique were so attentive to our dog for a whole week. Peter was very thorough in asking all about Sooty’s needs and preferences. We really appreciated the updates and photos, our dog had a lovely time and was very well cared for. I booked Peter based on reading the reviews and would say exactly the same as others have. Definitely recommend and will be booking again in future.”

“Brooke was an absolute lifesaver for our family when we got in a tough spot with a home move and we had absolutely no options for our large, elderly matriarch of a dog. I would enthusiasticaly recommend her to anyone. Our dog needed so much extra attention and we are really indebted Brooke and her family for helping us out.”
“We couldn’t have asked for our doggie to be more loved and cared for. We just moved from California and were nervous about leaving our pup for the first time since the big move, but Katelyn and her family were absolutely wonderful. They sent photos to keep us posted and he looked perfectly comfy and at home in each. We are so grateful to have found Katelyn and would recommend her to others without hesitation. Our dog came back to us as though he had been on a retreat! Calm, happy, and himself.”
“We just returned from a four day trip and couldn’t be happier with Karina’s care of our dog Milo. This is our third time having Karina watch Milo and we have continued to be impressed with her care. Milo started with a lot of anxiety but Karina’s experience in caring for dogs and her special attention to Milo made all the difference. We are so lucky to have found her.”
“Hank loves his stays at MJ’s. He has so much fun playing with her dogs. He comes home happy & tired from having so much fun. MJ sent pics to ease my mind, and he was having a blast. If you need someone who is comfortable handling a very large breed puppy/dog she is your girl!”
“I recently had Gail take care of my dog, Dior, for a week while I was on vacation. The bond Gail and her dog Ginger formed with Dior was heartwarming. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dog, providing plenty of love and attention. Dior came home happy and well-exercised, which is a testament to the great care they received. Safety was a top priority for me, and I felt completely at ease knowing Gail was watching over my pet. [He/She/They] followed all instructions regarding feeding and I appreciated the regular updates and photos that kept me in the loop. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience with Gail. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”

This is the right family to take care of your pup(s)!”

“Amazing sit for my pup. I could just tell Tatiana loves animals and took to my little Zoe (4 y/o mini Aussie) right away. Got some photo updates and was super responsive to messaging. Highly recommend!”
“Sarah was quick to respond to my request, and was willing to work with me regarding drop off and pick up times. I really appreciated her taking time for both my senior pup and I to feel comfortable before I left. My girl was happy when I picked her up, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have found Sarah!”
“My dog never gets left with anyone because I know how nervous she gets but we couldn’t bring her on a trip and Briana and her family were a perfect match for her.

About: I have a strong understanding of feline nutrition and know how important it is to keep cats mentally stimulated and comfortable in their space. I’ve also supported a mama cat through pregnancy, delivery, and raising her kittens. I treat every cat like my own and make sure they feel safe, understood, and well cared for while you’re away. 🤍

“Kailah has been great with my dogs! I have 2 rescues who are super nervous around new people. This was our 3rd time booking with Kailah, she has been super patient and they are starting to warm up to her. I would recommend Kailah and will definitely be using her services again.”
About: I own 3 cats and have never lived in a household without them. Cats are one of my favorite things about life. They are each as unique from each other as humans are, and I love this about them. Aside from my own, I have cared for cats of family and friends over the years. I honor and respect the uniqueness of every feline. Each cat’s needs and routines are unique. Building trust with a cat is rewarding, and it is always like making a new friend.
About: Hello, I'm Amy a passionate animal lover with over five years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes. I've had pets all my life and love taking care of them🐾. I will walk, pet and give plenty belly rubs as needed. My schedule is pretty flexible. 🗓️ Ask me and I can accommodate. I am free most mornings and evenings. Let me know if you need any adjustments. ✅ I offer overnight boarding and allow pets to sleep in the bed, on the couch or a crate. (You tell me how you want sleep!)💤
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mother ran an animal rescue, and I was fortunate to spend my childhood helping care for, socialize, and train animals of all kinds; primarily dogs and cats. This experience taught me not only how to understand animal behavior, but also the patience, compassion, and consistency that every pet deserves. I am comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and reserved, or requires extra patience and attention, I strive to provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel secure and cared for. As a pet sitter and walker, I treat every animal as an individual and make their comfort, safety, and well-being my top priorities. You can expect reliable communication, attentive care, and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and becoming someone you can trust whenever you need an extra helping hand. Experience Highlights * Raised in a family-run animal rescue environment * Experience caring for and handling dogs and cats of all ages * Familiar with basic training and positive reinforcement techniques * Comfortable with shy, anxious, senior, and high-energy pets * Patient, gentle, and attentive to individual needs * Reliable communication and dependable care As someone who works from home, I have the flexibility to incorporate pet care naturally into my daily routine. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, play sessions, or simply having a calm presence nearby, I can provide care tailored to their individual needs. I take pride in being reliable, responsive, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I provide calm, attentive, and individualized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. In a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow all instructions closely so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment with minimal disruption. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of companionship and affection. I pay close attention to body language and behavior so I can respond appropriately to each pet’s comfort level; whether they are energetic, shy, anxious, or senior. I aim to create a safe, relaxed atmosphere where pets feel secure and cared for. If caring for pets in my own home (when applicable), I ensure a quiet, clean, and supervised environment with consistent routines, regular outdoor breaks, enrichment, and lots of attention. Safety is always the top priority, and I only introduce new animals in a controlled and compatible way. Overall, I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, respect, and genuine care.
“Janice was great! Our cats are really shy and she was so gentle and patient with them. Her home is friendly and cozy. She was easy to communicate with and very responsive. We’d send our cats there any time!!”
About: I've cared for cats while house sitting during my time as a travel nurse, and have come to appreciate that every cat has their own unique personality and routine. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers a quiet companion, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I make sure they receive plenty of love, fresh food and water, clean litter, playtime if they enjoy it, and a calm, respectful presence so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I’m also a mama to two kitties of my own!
“Clara did a wonderful job with my cat, Jake. She was communicative with me, sending pictures and updates. She took the time to brush him and give him special treats. He seemed very content and happy! I would absolutely book Clara again. Any pet and pet parent is lucky to have her providing excellent care!”
“Wow! We’ve had several sitters over the years and Katie was BY FAR the best sitter ever! We booked the house sitting option and Katie was able to let our kitties out for even longer than expected. She went above and beyond. She let us know when food was running low and even offered to go get it!! Constantly sent us awesome photos and really seemed to bond with our furry babies.”
About: 🐾 Whether your family includes playful pups, curious cats, chatty birds, colorful fish, happy chickens, friendly goats, tiny hamsters, busy gerbils, or any other beloved pets, I care for them with the same love and attention I would give my own. I know there's no substitute for you, but while you're away, I will make sure your furry, feathered, and four-legged friends receive plenty of care, companionship, playtime, cuddles, and personalized attention to keep tails wagging and hearts happy. And because caring for a home goes hand in hand with caring for pets, I am also happy to help with everyday household tasks like watering plants, bringing in mail, managing trash and recycling, hanging pictures, and tackling small repairs. My goal is simple: happy pets, a cared-for home, and complete peace of mind for you. 🐾❤️🏡
“This is the second time that I used Amad to care for my cats, he has been great, will stay and play with them, easy to reach and will quickly respond . Overall we highly recommended .”
About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 20 years, including cats with both medical needs and behavioral challenges. That experience has taught me how to be patient, observant, and respectful of each cat’s unique personality and comfort level. I’m also a registered nurse with 10 years of nursing experience, and that medical background often transfers well when caring for cats with health issues. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, keeping up with medication routines, and noticing subtle changes that may need attention. Most of all, I genuinely love cats and know how important it is for pet parents to feel confident that their cat is being cared for with kindness, skill, and reliability.

“Bruno had a wonderful time at Kathleen's beautiful place! The fully-fenced in green space for the dogs was so peaceful I wanted to stay myself. Kathleen has a calming manner which the dogs respond well too. I am contemplating more trips to the Berkshires now that I know Bruno has a safe place where he will be happy and well taken care of while I spend time at Jacob's Pillow or museums. Thank you!”

“Karina was WONDERFUL! Our dog hasn’t been boarded a lot in her life, and has been nervous when she has, but she was comfortable as soon as we walked into the yard and so calm and happy when we picked her up! Karina was so communicative before and during her stay, and I appreciate how through she was with what to bring and making sure all the dogs in her care are up to date on vaccinations. We are so happy with our stay and will definitely bring our dog back!”
About: Hi y'all! I am an all around animal lover. My girls and I take any dogs that we are watching on walks with us every night, we have lots of fun. Pets are allowed on the furniture, unless you state explicitly state you don't want them to be. I prefer not to kennel overnight, but there are always exceptions to the rule! I am able to help with puppies and older pups alike; age is not an issue. Please ask any questions you may have for me, thank you so much we can’t wait to meet you! I am currently working part time but I am always available for nightly drop ins or for any early morning stops on my way in. I am always respectful of your safety protocols, gates are always double and triple checked, doors are always checked to be shut correctly. Food and water levels are consistently monitored. Instructions are always followed to the letter.
“Christine was phenomenal with our pups! Beau is still a baby (5mo) and I was super nervous about his first time at ”camp”, but Christine kept me updated and put me totally at ease. Both Beau and Coco loved her and we could not be more thankful for finding someone so perfect for them while we are in town. Thanks again!!”
About: Hi there! I’m so glad you’re here. As a lifelong dog lover and work-from-home professional, I’ve created a cozy, peaceful space where pups can feel right at home while their humans are away. I only host one dog at a time (unlike many petsitters), so your pup will be treated like family and get my full attention (and all the belly rubs they deserve). I specialize in anxious pups who do not like being with other dogs and do not like being alone - I keep my pup clients as close as they like and give them as much attention as they prefer. My husband and I have two children, 8 and 10 years old, who are very gentle and loving with dogs. We treat our guest pups like they were are own while they’re with us! All our doggy guests are welcome to make themselves at home—on the couch, in the sunny spots, wherever they’re happiest, I do not confine them to one room/zone of the house - no pet gates here! I have a large, unfenced backyard with a dog run for zoomies and potty breaks and we love getting out for walks too. I also have experience with senior dogs and administering medications, so if your pup needs a little extra TLC, they’re in good hands. If you’re looking for a quiet, cozy home-away-from-home where your dog will be loved and spoiled, I’d love to be their sitter! Please note: unfortunately we have an allergy in our home to short-haired shedding dogs and can only accept long-haired (hypoallergenic) dogs :) I'm home all day to spend time with your pup and treat them like they were my own! My goal is to make your dog feel like they’re still at home, ensuring they experience joy and companionship until you return. I will send regular updates and photos to reassure you that your furry friend is thriving and enjoying their time. We have a large un-fenced backyard with a run hooked-up for your pup to spend lots of time outside. We also love to take walks down our street and at the local park. If your pup has some leash aggression with other dogs, we can walk them in our large private backyard to ensure they get exercise but without the stress other dogs may cause. If they’re house trained they do not need to be crated unless it’s their preference. In the house, I allow our doggy friends on furniture (unless you specify otherwise) and in all rooms of my home. They will not be separated in a different room or crated, unless you specify otherwise.
“Tetiana and her family have a loving, welcoming home and environment. We were met with smiles, shown around and we felt very comfortable leaving our pup. The communication during the booking process was great, as I had a number of questions. Tetiana was responsive and thorough. We found written Q&A better than a call. They were flexible with how we prefer care, food, exercise, rest, etc. We received nice pictures, videos and notes ... even though our stay was only 2 days. We will use Tetiana again when we have a need in the Berkshires, and I'd feel comfortable with longer if needed (and agreed upon). Each member of the family was fast friends with our dog.”
“Left my baby for a trial stay. While it was hard to leave him literally crying Katie was so great about assuring me things had calmed down a few minutes later and all was good. I appreciated that peace of mind. Katie was also great about super responsive and timely communication. We would definitely reach out again.”

“Priscilla saved the day accepting my request at very short notice. I had a 12 hour shift to work and no coverage for Louis. Additionally, I realized at the end of that 12 hour shift that I had no coverage for the next two days due (in no small part to a massive house move that had just occurred). Again, Priscilla came to the rescue and helped me for the next two days. She is a great communicator and a clearly dedicated professional.”

Whether your pet enjoys long walks, play sessions, or simply having a calm presence nearby, I can provide care tailored to their individual needs. I take pride in being reliable, responsive, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I provide calm, attentive, and individualized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. In a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow all instructions closely so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment with minimal disruption. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of companionship and affection. I pay close attention to body language and behavior so I can respond appropriately to each pet’s comfort level; whether they are energetic, shy, anxious, or senior. I aim to create a safe, relaxed atmosphere where pets feel secure and cared for. If caring for pets in my own home (when applicable), I ensure a quiet, clean, and supervised environment with consistent routines, regular outdoor breaks, enrichment, and lots of attention. Safety is always the top priority, and I only introduce new animals in a controlled and compatible way. Overall, I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, respect, and genuine care.
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with Labs, so I’m very familiar with big personalities, lots of energy, long walks, playtime, and plenty of slobbery love. 🐾 I also adopted a cat, which taught me that sometimes the best way to win a pet over is to let them come to you (and maybe offer a few treats!). Although my own pets have since passed, they gave me years of experience, amazing memories, and a genuine love for caring for animals. I’m patient, playful, attentive, and always focused on making pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet wants an adventure outside, a game of fetch, or just some extra love and company, I’m happy to be their new buddy while you’re away! ❤️ I currently own my own business and make my own hours and work from home, so I can easily make my own schedule fit around any pet care! I'm lucky to have an open, comfortable and clean home where I can walk animals on the many acres I live on. I can also crate animals if that's how they are trained. When in other people's homes, I'm incredibly conscious of being considerate, following directions to respect their space, and understanding how the animal uses and loves the space.
About: I have been a pet lover & pet care advocate for as long as I can remember! I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities my entire life. I’ve taken care of kittens, pups, rescued cats, & cared for other pets like bunnies, fish, & hamsters. Over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and love their pets like my own which I do with a smile. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs to play & burn off some energy, or a sweet senior pup who needs extra patience and care, I adapt to their unique needs and personalities. I’m not just a sitter, i’m an emotional support human & a dependable companion for your pet while you’re away. I believe in consistent communication, lots of love, and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. I love & care for them as if they were my own. I’m experienced with administering medications, sticking to routines, and keeping pets calm and comfortable in their own environment. Your comfort, peace of mind, & your pet’s happiness are my top priority! As someone who works from home and takes online classes, my schedule is super flexible; perfect for giving your pet the attention they deserve! I’m home throughout the day, which means your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches. Whether it’s a midday walk, playtime, or just some company while they nap, I can be there when they need it most. My routine allows me to be fully present and responsive to your pet’s needs. I can stick to their feeding and walking schedule, provide consistent companionship, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. Being home all day also makes me a great fit for puppies, senior pets, or dogs who need a little extra TLC. When I care for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your pet’s routine closely & I make sure they’re comfortable in their space, following their usual schedule for walks, meals, playtime, and cuddles. Whether it’s sticking to their favorite walking route or knowing exactly how they like their food prepared, I pay close attention to every detail you share. I know how much the little details matter! Being in their own environment helps your pet feel more relaxed, and I’m there to make sure they feel loved every step of the way. I’m experienced in administering a variety of medications, including flea and tick ointments, oral chewy meds, and pills; whether they’re hidden in a treat or given directly. I stay calm and patient to make the process as stress-free as possible. I’m comfortable managing multiple pets and giving each one the attention and care they need. I treat your home with the same respect and care I give to your pet: clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. I provide regular updates with messages & photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands & know everything is going smoothly while you’re away.
About: Dogs have and will always be a huge part of my life. We got our first family dog when I was just 3 years old and the rest is history. My husband Jack is extremely passionate about animals as well and is my partner in all of this so you get two dog sitters for the price of one. Between the two of us your pet will get so much love, cuddles & exercise. We guarantee a level of attention and care that I feel confident your pet won’t get anywhere else; between this and Rover taking it’s fee our prices might be on the high side but they reflect our level of personalized and professional level of care. I also just want to add that our love for dogs extends to all animals so cats etc are all welcome to come hang with us :) Important Note: if you are reaching out for house sitting my husband and I only take those if we both are allowed to stay the night. We prefer to do this for safety as well as enabling the best care possible for your pet. Your pets will be my top priority & my main focus when they stay with us! I feel pretty confident that they will get more quality time, attention & lovin with me then any other pet sitter! I have a smoke free home and do not have any dogs currently living at my house so your pets will be my only focus! Also a child free home!
About: Animals kept me safe my entire life, now I return the favor by keeping your babies safe while you’re away. ❤️ I have been working with animals my whole life. At only 3 I moved in with my step father onto a small farm(yes this means I can feed your chickens, gather your eggs, clean your stalls, and feed your cattle, pigs, or even horses). I spent three years working in the veterinary field where I learned to better understand and triage animal emergency and how to deal with them calmly and safely. I have 3 dogs, and 2 cats of my own as well as a bearded dragon and a few chickens, whom I love more than life. I have minimal boarding experience, but have had or worked with everything from fish and birds, to dogs to cattle, from snakes to horses, and I love each one of these creatures just as much as the rest. I adore all animals, and cherish my pets so much, and finding some one you can trust to REALLY care for them can be a challenge, so let me make your life a little easier with flexible, reliable, patient and gentle care. As a pet mom to 11 furry, scaly, and feathered babies, I know how hard it can be to find reliable pet care. My animals are my children, my babies; the most important things in my world. I promise to love yours the way I’d love my own. I am currently unemployed and taking a leap. What I’d LOVE is to start my own pet care company. I know how hard it is to find pet care in and around the Berkshires, especially the holidays when all the day cares and well known sitters are booked - so let me take some of that weight off you. I’m flexible and reliable and can do drops ins, walks, day stays, over nights, or multiple day stays. I’m open to any animal type, including pocket pets, exotics and special needs. What can I say? Pets are really the only thing most of us like in this crazy world; so it’s kind of the perfect job. 😉 I am open to all types of care, all types of animals, and all types of situations. I have experience in vet medicine and have had elderly and special needs animals my whole life. No matter how long my interaction with your baby is, I assure you it will be filled with love.

“John and his wife did an amazing job taking care of our lab Rocky. Rocky and Dolly immediately hit it off when we dropped him off! John sent regular updates which helped give me peace of mind and communication via text was greatly appreciated! We will be returning! I cannot recommend them enough! Thank you for treating Rocky like he was apart of your family!”
“Peter and Monique were so attentive to our dog for a whole week. Peter was very thorough in asking all about Sooty’s needs and preferences. We really appreciated the updates and photos, our dog had a lovely time and was very well cared for. I booked Peter based on reading the reviews and would say exactly the same as others have. Definitely recommend and will be booking again in future.”
“Maria is a caring person who shares her time and love with the dogs she watches. Her fenced in yard is ample and perfect for running and playing.”
“Kristina was WONDERFUL!! She was incredibly accommodating and flexible which made everything so easy for us. My dog loved her and was so happy to spend time with Kristina too, so it’s a no brainer to book her!”
“We couldn’t have asked for our doggie to be more loved and cared for. We just moved from California and were nervous about leaving our pup for the first time since the big move, but Katelyn and her family were absolutely wonderful. They sent photos to keep us posted and he looked perfectly comfy and at home in each. We are so grateful to have found Katelyn and would recommend her to others without hesitation. Our dog came back to us as though he had been on a retreat! Calm, happy, and himself.”
“We just returned from a four day trip and couldn’t be happier with Karina’s care of our dog Milo. This is our third time having Karina watch Milo and we have continued to be impressed with her care. Milo started with a lot of anxiety but Karina’s experience in caring for dogs and her special attention to Milo made all the difference. We are so lucky to have found her.”
“Hank loves his stays at MJ’s. He has so much fun playing with her dogs. He comes home happy & tired from having so much fun. MJ sent pics to ease my mind, and he was having a blast. If you need someone who is comfortable handling a very large breed puppy/dog she is your girl!”
“I recently had Gail take care of my dog, Dior, for a week while I was on vacation. The bond Gail and her dog Ginger formed with Dior was heartwarming. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dog, providing plenty of love and attention. Dior came home happy and well-exercised, which is a testament to the great care they received. Safety was a top priority for me, and I felt completely at ease knowing Gail was watching over my pet. [He/She/They] followed all instructions regarding feeding and I appreciated the regular updates and photos that kept me in the loop. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience with Gail. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“Kathleen was great! She has an amazing property for the dogs, keeps you updated with tons of pictures and videos of them, and is such a nice person that you know shes taking care of your pups as if they were her own, will definitely be using her moving forward!”
“Butter had such a nice stay! Nicole sent so many pictures of him throughout his stay and he got so much socializing time with other puppy friends! He looked like he had such a fun time and seemed well taken care of! I loved receiving updates and pictures all throughout the day to see what he’s up to and what he’s doing! I definitely will rebook again!”
“My dog loves Kim and her kids so much. She was so excited to see them on her last stay. I felt like the mom of a three year old being dropped off at preschool when the kid runs in and starts playing with their friends. I'm so glad our dog is so happy at Kim's place!!!”
“Amazing sit for my pup. I could just tell Tatiana loves animals and took to my little Zoe (4 y/o mini Aussie) right away. Got some photo updates and was super responsive to messaging. Highly recommend!”
“Sarah was quick to respond to my request, and was willing to work with me regarding drop off and pick up times. I really appreciated her taking time for both my senior pup and I to feel comfortable before I left. My girl was happy when I picked her up, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have found Sarah!”
“Katie was wonderful. This was short notice and she could not have been more accommodating. Tully had a great time playing with the other pups and came home happy and exhausted. I highly recommend Katie.”
“Patti is the absolute best! She’s very attentive and careful to give Wally the best care she can. She welcomes him like one of her own pets with lots of snuggles and walks and hanging out. I’m so glad I found her and Wally loves staying with her!”
“Ashley was very flexible with drop off and pick up times! She sent me photos of the dogs and let me know how they were selling in. My larger dog is easily stressed, but we picked him up and he was completely comfortable! We will definitely be using her for any other dog sitting needs!”
About: I am a dependable, patient, and caring animal lover with many years of personal experience caring for dogs. I previously cared for my own Rottweiler for nine years, so I am comfortable with large breeds as well as smaller pets. I understand that every animal has a different personality and routine. I will follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet with the same love, attention, and respect I would give my own. Pet care fits well into my routine. I carefully schedule each booking around my work hours so I can provide dependable, unhurried care. I will keep my availability updated and communicate clearly with every pet owner. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication needs, walks, and house rules. I keep doors and gates secure, supervise pets carefully, maintain a clean environment, and provide regular photo updates.
“This was the first time we left our dog for an extended stay. Kaylyn was just as patient with us as first time “parents” as she was with our dog who needed a little extra TLC. We would definitely do this again!”
“Wendy was great! I needed a dog sitter at the last minute and came across her profile. I loved that she was so close to my home, and she made the entire experience stress-free. During my dog's stay, I received nightly text updates along with photos and videos, which I really appreciated. This was the first time I'd traveled over 13 hours away from my sweet girl, so I was super nervous. After the first day went so well, all my worries disappeared, and I was able to fully enjoy my trip knowing she was in great hands. I will definitely book with Wendy again and maybe next time she'll even get to meet my kitty too!”
