“Donna and Roland were so welcoming to our dog, Sophie! Donna was very kind and responsive throughout the whole booking process and sent us pictures while we were away. We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful couple to care for our dog!”
“We felt really comfortable leaving our skittish boy, Dingo, with Mike and Linda once we met them and saw that he was going to be doted on! We got almost daily pics and didn’t worry about a thing while we were on vacation. Dingo was reportedly loved by their grandchildren too over their Easter Sunday dinner so we weren’t too sure he’d even want to come back home with us but he did!! Highly recommend Mike & Linda! 🩷”
“I recently left my Boston Terrier, Mia, with Donna and John during my vacation to Sicily for 11 days. Had not used them before, but after our initial meet and greet I felt confident they both had Mia’s best interest in mind and they genuinely love taking care of dogs! I was able to relax while gone and knew Mia was in a good place and having fun. Will definitely use John and Donna again !”
“Monty's stay with Felicia was great! She provided us with lots of updates along the way, and we felt like he was in very safe hands. Our puppy came home happy and relaxed, and it was adorable at pickup seeing how much Felicia and her kids enjoyed having him there ❤️”
“Kathy took great care of our Lab! She is 13 and needs some extra care sometimes, and Kathy was very accommodating & kind about it. My dog was with Kathy for a week, and I got lots of updates and pictures/videos throughout her time. I could tell she had a great time playing with the other dogs, and she was super happy and energetic when we picked her up. I would definitely book with Kathy again!”
“Denise was amazing! So incredibly great with my dogs. One of my dogs is just a nervous dog when she meets new people and she was so great with her. I was very scared leaving my babies for the first time and Denise made everything go smooth. Such a nice person! Cant say enough about how kind and caring she is. Thank you Denise!❤️”
“Sylwia is the best!!! Our Mookie has been going to her house a couple of days per week since we moved to Newburyport. Sylwia takes great care of the pups and always provides photo/video updates. We are very picky with who we trust to watch Mookie, and we couldn’t be happier with Sylwia!”
“Julie took great care of Daisy for us while we went away on a trip over Thanksgiving. She kept us updated daily with photos and how she was doing. We would highly recommend Julie. She cared for Daisy exceptionally well :)”
“They were well loved & I got daily updates with pictures! Mia & Bear were happy to see me when we picked them up, but I think a little sad to be leaving their new friends! Bob & Kathi get a "better than home" rating :) ”
“Rose was great with Gizmo! She sent me lots of pictures and updates and you can tell she takes care of each dog depending on their personality/preferences. He had a great time boarding there.”
“Kristen was amazing, she gave me daily updates on my fur baby. Galaxy felt very comfortable in thier home and I will 100% reccommend their services. Grateful to find a local family that truely cares about dogs and thier well being.”
“Fantastic sitter! Very responsible and straightforward. Communication was smooth and clear throughout the stay, and I appreciated getting daily photo updates. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Caitlin took great care of Enzo and Bella. An added bonus were her grandparents, who live with her and were added support for the puppies. They were so sweet and attentive, giving lots of lap time and walks. When we picked them up, the pups were happy and healthy. 😍 Thank you all!”
“Laura is an awesome host. We went for a vacation and with her experience and loving nature I blindly trusted her to take care of my two dogs. Moxxi and Chomsky seemed so happy in her house. Thanks Laura:)”
“Daniela and her family were great sitters. Lots of communication including videos and pics, which we loved. They were also patient and generous with our (often) rambunctious puppy. Highly recommend.”
“Michael was very communicative the whole time, and our Caju had a great time at his house! He was well taken care of and came back happy and tired :) I’ll definitely do it again when needed!”

If its just a walking service needed i can do that to, I am a runner and love being outdoors so can run or walk your pet wherever they might want to go.
“Shelby and her family did a wonderful job of caring for our dog, Tanner. Shelby clearly has a ton of experience with dogs and lot of love for them. Her home has a great fenced yard that Tanner enjoyed exploring, and communication and responsiveness was excellent.”
“Lindsay was amazing. Our dog had a great time with Lindsay, her family and her dog Tilly, who happened to match our dog's size and energy level perfectly. Lindsay sent us multiple photos during our dog's stay. We could not recommend her more highly!”
“This was Charlie’s first stay with Mercis. Charlie is very choosy with new boarders. He was very comfortable with Mercis from the first time he met her. We got frequent updates, pictures and videos during the whole stay. Charlie has a great time! We will definitely board Charlie again with her. Highly recommend Mercis for your boarding needs!!”

About: If you’re looking for someone who is responsible, reliable, and a clear communicator, I’m your gal! I grew up with lots of critters in the house and have especially loved cats since I was a kid! My current fur-babies include a feisty 3 year old siamese and a sweet little tabby boy who just turned one. I love animals and am excited to meet some new kitty friends! I have experience with kittens as well as older cats. I’m happy to take care of feeding and watering, cleaning up messes, scooping the litter box, handling medication and giving lots of cuddles and chin scritches! 💖 I will gladly send you photo and video updates of your sweet kitty with a detailed description of my visit. It’s my number one priority that you have peace of mind every time I drop in! A little about me: I own my own business and work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I’m willing to consider boarding/overnight housesitting for repeat clients upon request! I’m available for drop-ins from 8am-7pm Monday-Friday (weekends available upon request). If you need me to stop by outside my availability I can usually make it work, just ask! I’d love to know more about what makes your cat happy, their favorite toys, treats, and any quirks that make them unique (for example: things that stress them out, food serving preferences, or common hiding spots). Please share if they’re on any meds or need special treatment so I can prepare in advance. I look forward to connecting with you!
About: I’ve been pet sitting on and off for the past 10 years. I love not only doing the regular tasks but spending actual time with them playing with toys and teaching them new games! I am a college student at American University and I am home in Newburyport for the summer. I have lots of availability and am always open to moving things around to fit better into your schedule. I am very active so I love to go out on multiple walks a day which I can bring pets on. I have a big yard that dogs can go out and play in and my neighbours have 2 very kind dogs to keep them socialising!
About: cared for dogs my whole life, as the daughter of a former dog breeder I am comfortable around animals of many sizes. Overnights, walks, care! I am available to do weekly or daily walks during my lunch from 12-1 or 1-2pm, or after 5:30 & for overnight sitting in your home I will be sure to get a clear understanding of you and your pet whether it is for a daily walk or overnight, good communication!
“Janine is amazing! She was very attentive to our diabetic cat and showed him tons of love and affection! She administered daily insulin shots as required twice a day. Janine also sent us daily photos of her visits, which were appreciated. Our cat fell in love with her ♥️. We highly recommend Janine for your pet sitting needs. Thanks again Janine, you were awesome!”
“Karen was so wonderful with our beloved kitties! I can tell from the photos that they really loved her. It is such a good feeling when you’re so far away to know that your pets are being cared for by a kind, responsible, and engaged animal lover. We feel very fortunate to have met Karen and look forward to a continued relationship with her! ?”
“Great job with my elderly cats that need a little more TLC than in their younger days. Adele was prompt for all of her pet sitting times and made sure to send pictures to update me on them each visit. She fed them and gave them medication as needed and. I will have her watch my cats again next time I’m away!”
“Robyn was very friendly and communicative throughout her drop-in visits to check on our cats. We received daily pics and updates — we will definitely have her back and we highly recommend Robyn!”
“Samantha did a great job caring for our cat for a long weekend away. She was very communicative and brought in our paper, trash & recycle bins (and removed a dead mouse surprise that kitty left 😲). We would definitely use her again.”
“Hannah is awesome. Flexible, consistent, great with the pets. She is great at communicating and filling us in on how everyone is doing when we are on trips, and leaves you with a peace of mind that is invaluable when you are away. We will continue using her for both our dog and cat needs,”
“Stephanie took care of my three beloved cats, one of which is diabetic. There was a LOT to do with three of them! She took EXCELLENT care of them and showed up twice every day at the same time, prepared their food in a particular way, refilled their water fountain, gave them a certain amount of treats, and took care of their litter box perfectly. She even cleaned up a few messes they created which was above and beyond her responsibilities! Most importantly, she gave my diabetic cat her insulin shot twice a day. She really helped me enjoy my vacation because I didn't worry about them being in her care. I will be entrusting her to sit for them again going forward.”

“Gracie seemed to love Mike at first sight! And the feeling was mutual. Mike gives great communication all around, his lovely home and enclosed yard is the perfect setting for my high energy pup.”
“Julie and her family have been taking amazing care of Luca a few days a week for me while I adjust to a new work schedule. They really love him and treat him like their own. I love seeing pictures from their outings and walks! Luca is always excited to see them when I drop him off! As a new puppy mom I was nervous to leave him with anyone but Julie and her family made me feel so at ease. Would 10/10 recommend their services!”
“My dog had a great time at Shelby’s house and big back yard. Shelby was very communicative and posted lots of pictures during the stay. When I’m back in the area I will definitely book again!”
“Kristin and Bobby watched our dog with a last minute call when we were vacationing in the Boston area. When we took our dog in the morning they came out to meet us and made sure that our dog was comfortable with them and their home. Our dog took right to both them and their dog. During the day my dog was exercised, fed and played with. I was very happy with our experience and would highly recommend them if you need a dog sitter.”
About: Dogs, and Cats aren’t just pets in my home—they’re family! My twin brother and I have had dogs our whole lives, and we’re absolutely obsessed with them. In our house, your pup will be surrounded by love, care, and constant attention. Since most of my classes are online, my brother works night shifts, and my husband works during the day, there’s always someone home to make sure your furry friend is safe, happy, and cared for 24/7. I feel so lucky to have their support because, let’s be real—life loves to throw surprises our way! But no matter what, your pup will always be in good hands. And if you ask my family, they’d say they’re totally jealous because I get to spend the most time with the doggies! 🐾💖 From fun walks to cozy snuggles, I make sure every dog feels right at home while their humans are away. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and give them all the love they deserve! Having transitioned from a career in law to pursuing my passion in nursing school, I now have a flexible schedule with most of my classes being remote. This allows me ample time to dedicate to your pups, ensuring they receive plenty of play and care. I’m available for dog boarding on both weekends and weekdays, providing a reliable and loving environment for your furry friends while you’re away. Ensuring the safety and well-being of your pet is my top priority. Whether in your home or mine, I provide a secure and nurturing environment tailored to your pet’s needs: Safety First: I make sure that your home is pet-proofed, eliminating any hazards. For outdoor activities, I use secure leashes and ensure that gates and fences are properly closed. Personalized Care: I follow your specific instructions for diet, exercise, and routines to ensure a consistent and comfortable experience. Regular updates are provided, and I am always available to address any concerns. Trustworthy Environment: At my home, your pet will be welcomed into a warm and loving space. My sweet and playful Bernedoodle, Sophie, is friendly and makes a great companion. If your dog prefers not to be around other dogs, we have the flexibility to have Sophie accompany my husband to work, ensuring your pet has a quiet and undisturbed environment. Emergency Preparedness: I am trained in basic pet first aid and have a plan in place for any unexpected situations, prioritizing your pet's health and safe. With my experience and dedication, along with Sophie’s friendly nature, you can trust that your pet will receive the highest level of care and affection while you’re away.
“Mac had a wonderful day with Robert and his pups. He had never been to a dog sitter before so we were a bit anxious about leaving him. We had a meet and greet before the day visit and when Mac got to Bob’s house on the day of the visit, Mac remembered that it was a place with people that he liked. Bob’s updates through the day made us rest easy that Mac was being well cared for. We loved the report card and pictures that we got at the end of the visit. We look forward to our next booking with Bob.”
“Elizabeth was outstanding. She has a genuine love for animals . My dog took instantly to her warm and friendly personality. She has a beautiful fenced in yard for the dogs to run freely. We felt very comfortable keaving our dog with Elizabeth.”

“Carolyn was incredible and so communicative while she was watching Remington. He had a blast and came home a happy, tired hound. The next time he went to see her, he sprinted out to say hello, clearly happy to see her!”
About: I’m a licensed veterinarian in Brazil and I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life. My father is a huge dog lover, so I grew up helping care for our family pets from a very young age. In Brazil, I had four dogs who are now happily living with my parents. Here in the U.S., I have my sweet mini Goldendoodle, Madalena, who is very friendly and loves having company. Because of my background in Veterinary Medicine and my lifelong experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, I feel very confident providing safe, responsible, and attentive care. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work at a coffee shop from 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. After 3:30 p.m., I’m fully available for pet care, including walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting. On Sundays and Mondays, I’m off from work and available all day for boarding, daycare, and other services. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I offer a calm, clean, and cozy home environment where pets can relax, play, and feel secure. My mini Goldendoodle, Madalena, is very friendly and gentle, which helps visiting dogs feel more comfortable and welcomed. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, I always follow their routine exactly as instructed—feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I’m very attentive to body language and behavior to make sure each dog feels safe, respected, and stress-free. I provide constant supervision when I’m home, lots of love and positive interaction, and a peaceful space where dogs can settle in comfortably. My goal is to make every pet feel like part of the family.
About: I now own my own dog so she comes with me on jobs. She is ESA certified. Thank you, for checking my profile. I am excited to be doing this kind of work part-time. I love every job I take on. It’s not that many but rest assured when you book my services you will have my 100 % attention on just your babies! I have been house sitting and pet sitting for friends and family my whole life. I can’t have a dog where I live but I would love to own a dog one day. For now let me share all the love I can give to your beloved family member! I have a cpr/first aide certification. I can groom your dogs in your home. I have references from all whom I have house sat; horse, dog, cat, fish, birds, reptiles. I can watch your farm animals as well, horses are my specialty but I have taken care of cows, pigs, chickens, ducks, sheep and goats. I look forward to to becoming your new favorite person because your pets will thank you! Also think of me for boarding your cats in my home. Thank you for your consideration. I work from home so can care for your pets during the day. I just need internet access in order to work from your home I care for your animals in your home and do what you advise in terms of care for your animals. I can also take pets on adventures.

“Ellie was so great! Communicative and my pup adored her! She came for some mid-day walks and improvised with playtime after a quick potty break when the weather wasn’t cooperating (my dog does NOT like the rain). I highly recommend booking with Ellie!”
About: I have had pets of all kinds my entire life, to which I have been trusted to take care of them. I have experience pet sitting for family and friends, though most of my pet experience has come from my personal pets. My dad is also a K9 officer and dog trainer, which has given me a lot of experience being around big dogs and seeing how to take care of dogs. I am currently on summer break from college, so I have a lot of time on my hands to spend with furry friends! I don’t have any significant schedule barriers at the moment! I can easily follow and meet any specific needs of your home or pets. I have experience caring for all kinds of pets, including those with special needs, so I can absolutely cater my care to any individual pet!
“Charles & Teresa went above and beyond to walk my dog Lilly while I was attending a memorial service for my friend. I drove down from Maine, met them at the cemetery, and they entertained Lilly while I participated in the service. It was so appreciated! I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find anyone to walk Lilly since I would not be a repeat client but they were willing and eager to help.”
About: Donna and I started taking care of dogs when we lost our Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Dutchin. We got her when she was 3 months old and she was our baby. When she crossed the Rainbow Bridge, we couldn't bring ourselves to get another dog, but wanted to still experience the joy that dogs bring to our lives. We decided to provide both care and a safe, loving home for other people's pets while their humans are away or otherwise unable to care for them short-term. This way, we can give you peace of mind in knowing your best friend is safe and happy, and we get to interact with all kinds of dogs, which gives us great joy! Your friend will get all the love and attention you give them; and, well, if we spoil them a bit too much, sorry (not sorry)! We are both retired, so we have plenty of time to care for your pets whether in our home or yours. We are available for walks, drop in visits and overnight boarding in our home. When boarding with us, your fur baby will never be alone as someone is always home. We have a large fenced-in yard where your dog can run and play off leash safely. Are your pets used to making themselves at home on the couch? Not a problem! They are more than welcome to snuggle up on ours. If you wish to make your pet a little more at home, you may bring your pet's bed, toys and/or crate.
“Meaghan was such a big help and I’ll definitely be requesting her again! She sent plenty of photos from the walk and refilled my dog’s bowl without me even asking. I definitely recommend her!”
“My dog LOVES Robyn! I’ve never seen him jump for joy quite like when she’s at the door. Robyn has been a life savor for those busy days when I can’t take my pup on a long walk. I do the 60min every time and my dog comes back with a big happy face on! BRW Robyn will share the best photos of your dog EVER. I look forward to it every time.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind as long as I can remember, whether that be my own dogs or dogs I’ve gained valuable experience with by helping my grandmother, a veterinarian, which taught me how to understand their behavior and care for them properly. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be reliable and available for a variety of times, whether it’s early mornings, midday walks, or evenings. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to adjust to different routines to make sure each dog gets the care, exercise, and attention they need! For dog walking, I focus on providing safe, reliable, and enjoyable walks that fit each dog’s needs and energy level. I make sure they get proper exercise, stay hydrated, and feel comfortable throughout the walk. I pay close attention to their behavior, surroundings, and safety at all times, including using secure leashes and avoiding hazards. I also follow any specific instructions from the owner, such as preferred routes, pace, or routines. After the walk, I ensure the dog is settled back comfortably and can provide updates if requested.
About: Have raised two labs, so can handle all age spans. Recently have done senior care for my own dog, who passed at the age of 16.5. I am passionate and have a basic understanding in animal nutrition. I believe that the love and care your pour into in animal is what you get back in return. Im currently a stay at home mom to three loving girls, 10, 12, 14. I deeply love animals and have felt the emptiness of losing our lab in September. I would love an opportunity to love on your pet! I have a small unfenced yard currently, but live on a quiet street with an Amazing park at the end of the street, that is shaded and has many trees for sniffing. I am planning on being around most of the summer and can accommodate, walking, sleeping and cuddling needs. I currently have no pets in myhouse, so your pet will get the utmost attention. I will not only love, but can provide very focused and physical care. I can be as athletic as the pet needs t to be or as chill as the pet demands. I just want to make your pet feel loved and comfortable. If its just a walking service needed i can do that to, I am a runner and love being outdoors so can run or walk your pet wherever they might want to go.
“Janine always takes such good care of my crazy rescue dog. He doesn’t always like people but he absolutely LOVES Janine and gets so excited when he knows she’s coming.”
“Maggie is great! Very calm, reliable, and a great communicator. And ... our dog gets excited when she arrives (which isn't true for everyone), so she is a great fit and we feel so comfortable when we know Maggie is with our dog!”
About: cared for dogs my whole life, as the daughter of a former dog breeder I am comfortable around animals of many sizes. Overnights, walks, care! I am available to do weekly or daily walks during my lunch from 12-1 or 1-2pm, or after 5:30 & for overnight sitting in your home I will be sure to get a clear understanding of you and your pet whether it is for a daily walk or overnight, good communication!
About: I care immensely for all animals. Especially playful cats. Have always owned cats. My mom recently passed and I’ve taken on her 2 beloved cats I am not working as I had to leave my job to care for my mom. I’m a young 64 yr old who is energetic I do whatever is expected of me depending on clients needs and instructions. Keep notes for pet owners. Meticulous. Honest kind fun to be around
“Nikki was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond caring for my dog Enzo—even bringing him homemade treats. He usually takes a long time to warm up to new sitters, but he bonded with Nikki right away. She's always on time and was great at communicating throughout, including providing great photos from each visit. I highly recommend booking her!”
About: Excited to return to Rover! I've owned and surrounded myself with dogs (and other pets) my entire life and love it! My pups are my best friends and adventure buddies. Friends and family often call on me to help care for and train their canine friends or for advice because of my experience from working with various temperaments and behaviors. I also used to foster dogs and plan to return to that at some point. I love all breeds, ages, and sizes and find they all have unique personalities, just like people! I provide much love and attention, but know when to be a stern pack leader to keep everyone safe and in check! I use positive reinforcement and correction/redirection over discipline and I believe more exercise and encouragement can make most dogs a "good dog." Dogs tend to love me and are responsive to my leadership style. I currently work per diem and part-time so my schedule is often flexible and I love to fill my down time with furry friends I find the most critical care to be love, pats & praise, and structure & consistency. When it comes to others’ pets, I want to provide individualized care that is consistent with their daily life, so I try to incorporate owners’ standards and parenting styles. I recognize consistency is key to communicate with dogs and reduce their stress. Let me know how to accommodate you and your pet.
About: Hi. My name is Caitlyn and I recently moved to Newburyport. I’m originally from Salem, Mass. I’ve lived on the Northshore all of my life. I adore all the beautiful dogs and cats around here and would love to help if anyone needs a walker/sitter. I have loved animals my entire life and since I was a child, I’ve had a couple of different dogs over the years and was always the primary caregiver to them. Currently, i have just one, my mini dachshund, Ms. Vada. I recently lost my beautiful 18 year old cat Tinkerbell who I have had since she was 6 months old. I miss her so much. I’m reliable, super empathetic, responsible, punctual, honest, and treat pets like humans! I’m kind, helpful, and funny too. I’m able to follow directions and will care for your pet just as you tell me to do. I assure your expectations will be met. If asked to board in your home, I will treat your property as if my own with the utmost respect and care. I will be sure to keep your pets comfortable in their space and care for any other requests you may have. I’ve worked in peoples homes before and have always had nothing but happy, grateful employers who trusted me. I would love the opportunity to help care for your pet, providing you with the reassurance that I truly do care with the utmost love 💕 and kindness ! I have references and am able to answer any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting your fur baby or fur babies! I’m currently available full time right now. I can help mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m responsible, reliable, and compassionate. I am working from home right now, therefore my schedule is very flexible at the time. I live in a complex type community and have a perfect little route I walk my dog within the property, however, she generally pulls the leash towards the beach and sometimes we go off our path and I follow her lead. (She’s spoiled!) I love going to the dog park, to the beach, or random trails on the Northshore where she can have a bit more freedom and run “free.” My dog is friendly and generally gets along with all other dogs. She’s a little love bug.
About: I grew up with cats and medium and large dogs (along with other smaller critters), regularly took care of neighborhood dogs (overnight stays and walks), and I still take care of my parent’s 95 lb dog and cat when they’re out of town. I travel occasionally for work and personal reasons so haven’t yet committed to having my own pet (yet!). I love having a dog companion on my regular walks/hikes. I have a hybrid work arrangement where I’m part time in the office in Newburyport and part time at home in Amesbury. My schedule varies based on work/personal travel schedule and can be pretty flexible depending on the day when I’m at home. I’m happy to take dogs for walks near your home as needed (as short or as long of a walk as you’d like) and also happy to stay overnight to take care of pets.
About: Growing up in a dog loving household, I've been an animal lover my whole life and my 2 kids (9yrs and 6yrs) have inherited the same love for animals. We don't have any dogs of our own, so we have a lot of love and attention to give your fur baby! Being a stay-at-home mom allows me to provide plenty of availability for potty breaks, walks and playtime with your pup. Located in a wonderful neighborhood with lots of walking opportunities. When your dog comes to stay with us, they immediately become a part of the family! Our home is dog-friendly so they are given free reign of the house if that is what they are used to. If your dog requires more boundaries to keep them safe, they can be set up in a sectioned area in the main part of the house to ensure that they are safe but still get plenty of attention.

“I recently left my Boston Terrier, Mia, with Donna and John during my vacation to Sicily for 11 days. Had not used them before, but after our initial meet and greet I felt confident they both had Mia’s best interest in mind and they genuinely love taking care of dogs! I was able to relax while gone and knew Mia was in a good place and having fun. Will definitely use John and Donna again !”
“Monty's stay with Felicia was great! She provided us with lots of updates along the way, and we felt like he was in very safe hands. Our puppy came home happy and relaxed, and it was adorable at pickup seeing how much Felicia and her kids enjoyed having him there ❤️”
“Kathy took great care of our Lab! She is 13 and needs some extra care sometimes, and Kathy was very accommodating & kind about it. My dog was with Kathy for a week, and I got lots of updates and pictures/videos throughout her time. I could tell she had a great time playing with the other dogs, and she was super happy and energetic when we picked her up. I would definitely book with Kathy again!”
“Sylwia is the best!!! Our Mookie has been going to her house a couple of days per week since we moved to Newburyport. Sylwia takes great care of the pups and always provides photo/video updates. We are very picky with who we trust to watch Mookie, and we couldn’t be happier with Sylwia!”
“Rose was great with Gizmo! She sent me lots of pictures and updates and you can tell she takes care of each dog depending on their personality/preferences. He had a great time boarding there.”

“Fantastic sitter! Very responsible and straightforward. Communication was smooth and clear throughout the stay, and I appreciated getting daily photo updates. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Caitlin took great care of Enzo and Bella. An added bonus were her grandparents, who live with her and were added support for the puppies. They were so sweet and attentive, giving lots of lap time and walks. When we picked them up, the pups were happy and healthy. 😍 Thank you all!”
“Laura is an awesome host. We went for a vacation and with her experience and loving nature I blindly trusted her to take care of my two dogs. Moxxi and Chomsky seemed so happy in her house. Thanks Laura:)”
“Daniela and her family were great sitters. Lots of communication including videos and pics, which we loved. They were also patient and generous with our (often) rambunctious puppy. Highly recommend.”
“Michael was very communicative the whole time, and our Caju had a great time at his house! He was well taken care of and came back happy and tired :) I’ll definitely do it again when needed!”
About: Have raised two labs, so can handle all age spans. Recently have done senior care for my own dog, who passed at the age of 16.5. I am passionate and have a basic understanding in animal nutrition. I believe that the love and care your pour into in animal is what you get back in return. Im currently a stay at home mom to three loving girls, 10, 12, 14. I deeply love animals and have felt the emptiness of losing our lab in September. I would love an opportunity to love on your pet! I have a small unfenced yard currently, but live on a quiet street with an Amazing park at the end of the street, that is shaded and has many trees for sniffing. I am planning on being around most of the summer and can accommodate, walking, sleeping and cuddling needs. I currently have no pets in myhouse, so your pet will get the utmost attention. I will not only love, but can provide very focused and physical care. I can be as athletic as the pet needs t to be or as chill as the pet demands. I just want to make your pet feel loved and comfortable. If its just a walking service needed i can do that to, I am a runner and love being outdoors so can run or walk your pet wherever they might want to go.
“Shelby and her family did a wonderful job of caring for our dog, Tanner. Shelby clearly has a ton of experience with dogs and lot of love for them. Her home has a great fenced yard that Tanner enjoyed exploring, and communication and responsiveness was excellent.”
“Lindsay was amazing. Our dog had a great time with Lindsay, her family and her dog Tilly, who happened to match our dog's size and energy level perfectly. Lindsay sent us multiple photos during our dog's stay. We could not recommend her more highly!”
“Leyani was great, her kids loved our dog too. I would not hesitate to leave Brewster with their family in the future. She sent us daily pictures of our dog and we could tell he was happy and relaxed.They have a nice fenced yard and took Brewster to the dog park as well.”
“Krystyna and Sara were AMAZING. They took care of my 2 dogs for a long weekend when I had to go away for a family funeral. I was already anxious about leaving them with someone new and they went above and beyond. They sent pictures and messages throughout the day. One of my dogs was having a paw issue with his nail and they took care of him and all the needs that came along with it. I will be recommending them to everyone I know and will for sure book with them again!!”
“We can’t say enough wonderful things about Stacey! From the moment we met, it was clear how caring and attentive she is with animals. Our Cody and Leo absolutely adored her. While we were away, Stacey kept us updated with photos and messages which gave us peace of mind. She went above and beyond-not only making sure Cody and Leo were fed and loved, but also taking the time to play ball and cuddle which is their favorite thing to do. When we got home, Cody and Leo were so happy and clearly well taken care for. It’s such a relief to have someone so trustworthy and dependable-we couldn’t ask for a better sitter. We highly recommend Stacey to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family. Thank you so much Stacey!”
“Reliable, communicative, personable, and professional with each and every stay. We’ve been utilizing Karen’s dog sitting services for some time now and have complete trust in her! We highly recommend her services!”
“Faith is kind and friendly and she took great care of my dog Bentley over a long weekend. She sent photos and kept me posted on how he was adjusting. Highly recommend!”
