âAlways 5 Stars for Michael and Caesar and the family! They are such fantastic communicators, so helpful and kind. Ready to make changes as needed and as plans change (like a giant blizzard - causing me to drop off early and pick up later). You couldn't ask for a cleaner, safer, FUN place for your dog to stay. Cesar's home is truly my dog's home away from home - for almost 4 years now - THE BEST!!!!â

âWe are grateful for Amanda and her family and their kind care of our dog! Her first overnight stay was a success. We received detailed updates throughout the weekend of how she was doing which helped us know she was comfortable and having fun. Thank you!â

âJessica and Josie were wonderful with Miss Ruby. Even understanding her occasional accident in the house as coming from anxiety. Possibly due to construction noises which were expected to be gone before Miss Rubyâs visit. It changed my perspective from paying for Dogcare to paying to have Miss Ruby share her joy with Josie and Jessica and their family. ???â

âEmily was very patient with my anxious girl. My sweet girl has a hard time meeting new people. We have never left her with anyone but family. Emily took the time to make her feel at ease. We trust her so much we are having her watch our girl again for a week. I highly recommend Emily.â


âDorothy was great - she and her family made Bruno feel very welcome and secure and kept us updated while we were away. He has a special diet and daily medication and she was great with giving that to him. Definitely will book again.â
âI couldnât feel more comfortable leaving my dogs with anyone else. The girls settle right in with Judy and are not that anxious to leave when I come to get them. Love her sweet dog Rosey đâ


âSam and her family took excellent care of my two dogs! Communication was top-notch, and I loved to see how happy and well cared for they were. They came home content and tired, which is the best review of all. Itâs clear they had a great time in your beautiful spot in the forest. Thank you so much, Sam! đ¤Šâ


âLuiz was quick to respond, has a wonderful home and yard that is dog friendly and safe. His family is lovely and I know my pup was cared for, entertained and loved during her stay. I couldnât have asked for a better weekend home for Daisy Mae. Thanks Luiz.â

âOzzy had a wonderful time with Nicole and her family! Nicole was relaxed and welcoming, and encouraged Ozzy to feel at home. The weather was bitter cold but Ozzy got all his energy out tearing around their fenced backyard. Nicole was very communicative, sending frequent updates and photos, Highly recommended!â

âThis was Sadie's first stay with Forough and Amir, and they took great care of her, treating her like one of the family. They sent photos and provided excellent communication throughout. When I arrived for pick-up Sadie was very happy and relaxed. Thank you!â

âI am so grateful and appreciative of Sandraâs loving care of Lulu while I was gone for 13 days. Lulu has a seizure disorder and Sandra was amazing with giving her medication and keeping me updated every day with her status and sending pictures of how well loved and cared for she was. Sandra and her husband John invited Lulu into their home and treated her as though she was theirs!â

âDogs were very happy and enjoyed their stay. They seemed well adjusted and eased back into home life. We are very pleased with Dawn with the care given and the attention the kids gave (they miss the kids!) Many thanks,â

âWe were so happy with Melissa and Axel. They took great care of our dog, sent us pictures and updates and their kids gave our dog all the love. We will definitely be rebooking.â

âJackie was a wonderful sitter! Sent lots of pics and videos, had a lovely dog friendly space (and amazing fenced yard)! Bear was very happy and healthy there :)â

âMichael loved his stay with Ashton and Seph!! They sent plenty of photos of his adventures and cuddles. They were very accommodating and quick to respond as well.â

âPatti took such good care of our boy for a whole month. We wouldnât leave him with anyone else for that long. She and her pack are the best! He was so loved and at home there and came back to us happy and healthy. Thanks, Patti!â

âAlways grateful when Aurore is available to check in on our pets. We're never worried - she's punctual, gives us great updates, and leaves us reassured that everything is going welL!â

âKiersten did a wonderful job caring for our cats while we were away. She followed our instructions, and our cats were relaxed and well fed. One of our cats has been sick and she gave him his medicines, and he is looking even healthier than when we left!â


âMelanie was fantastic with our two cats! She was reliable, attentive and caring and followed every detail of our care instructions perfectly. She kept our automatic cat boxes and food dispensers refreshed on schedule and even cleaned and recycled the food containers and dealt with the trash. Our kitties were happy to see her even our very shy kitty which gave us peace of mind. We wouldn't hesitate to book Melanie again and highly recommend her to anyone for a very caring cat sitter.â


âAmanda has been amazing! Sheâs done a couple of drop-ins for me to give my cat her medication, and did a long weekend stay at my house. She left my place in the same state it was in when I left, and provided updates at the end of each visit.â
âWe live in Hardwick.Mandy took excellent care of both of my cats. One of my cats has a chronic illness which required that Mandy give him an injection. She has previous vet tech experience so that was no problem at all. Mandy sent me an update with pictures of both cats. She even came to our house before our trip to meet the cats. We would highly recommend her.â

âEmma was awesome! Would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of a caring individual to look after their pets. She was friendly, kind, flexible, and attentive, and Iâm sure our cats would be happy to see her again!â


About: I've shared my life with cats since I was a child and understand that every cat has their own unique personality. I have experience caring for playful kittens, shy or timid cats, senior cats, feral cats, and cats with medical needs. I'm comfortable administering medications, following special diets, and providing the extra patience and gentle care that many cats require. My own 18-year-old cat has taught me the importance of compassionate senior care and paying attention to the little changes that can make a big difference. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers quiet companionship, I'll respect their routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.

About: Ive taken care of quite a few kitties. Unless your cat like constant snuggles having us come to your house once or twice a day would be best. The kids are always opening our doors.
About: I am a lifelong animal lover, and have owned dogs, birds, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters and mice. Currently I own 2 cats with my partner named Rebel and Scout. Growing up my family dogs have included lhasa apsos, dandie dinmont terriers, a german shepherd, and a golden lab. I have experience sitting all types of dogs so whether you have a small medium or large dog, i am comfortable with all sizes. I also was an American Kennel Club junior handler for five years and during that time I showed my lhasa apsos. I have assisted with 4 four litters of lhasa puppies and am experienced with house training, puppy training, care etc. If you have any other questions I would be happy to answer them and look forward to the opportunity to become a friend to your precious pets! :) I am currently a homemaker, and am fortunate to have some flexibility! Just let me know the times/days you need. M-F preferred weekends are negotiable! My preference is to take care of pets at clients home. It is difficult to have other animals inside with the cats however I do have a fenced in area in my yard I can offer for them to be in!
About: I work professionally from home, so I can be available for your pets' potty breaks and feedings and make sure they have company during the day. My love for animals started at an early age, and there's nothing I love more than spending time in their company. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and levels of training. I'm an active volunteer at the local animal shelter with dogs and have fostered very many cats and kittens in my home for them over the years. So I can work with the shy, hissy, nervous animals and love them all. I'm committed to providing the best care possible for your pets and know that that can sometimes include administering medication. As long as I'm clear on what, how, and when, I'm comfortable providing this service. I regularly send pictures and updates to help keep your mind at ease and confident that your pet is loving their time with me! I work from home as a manager for a tech company. This means that my schedule is flexible, and I can address food and potty needs around the clock. I work in an office with a door that closes and can keep your pets with me during the day or leave them free to roam the house. My house is on an acre of half-yard, half-woods. I will use a 100-foot lead for your pet any time weâre outside, and hey can explore the woods with me on a leash. I have a XL crate in my office that can be used to house your pet. I also have a dedicated bonus room, where pets that need a more quiet scene can go enjoy the warm, sunny window or the fluffy beds/scratch towers.
âKayla took great care of our cats while we were away and was able to accommodate a last minute extra visit. She was easy to communicate with and sent photos/updates. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.â


âLily was extremely helpful when my previously booked sitter cancelled at the last minute. She was friendly and able to respect our home's dietary restrictions. She was a lifesaver! My senior car was cared for, and the house was in order upon our return. Lily provided occassional updates on how things were going and a few photos. She always responded quickly to messages despite a time difference. We'd be open to hiring Lily again.â


âCaitlyn was wonderful with my three dogs! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of them while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and knowing they were in good hands. Would definitely book with Caitlyn again! đžđâ

About: I have had a passion for taking care of animals since a young age. I have experience with all types of animals. I worked as a doggy daycare attendant and a veterinary assistant, as well as shelter experience. I'm available for drop in visits and dog walking. I do not have a set schedule at work yet so I will have different availability every week. We do have a backyard which is not fenced in and a porch that I usually block off to let my dogs get outside for some fresh air.

About: I have worked with dogs all my life. I use to work/help my mom at a kennel at the young age of 7 and our household was always full of dogs! I have had experience with many breeds. I've owned a wide range of dogs: pit bulls, labs, huskies, dash hound, terriers, rottie and pugs. I love to go for long walks, hikes, play fetch, take them swimming. I love to take my dogs out in the field so they can get rid of their energy and run free. If your dog isnât a runner I would to take them too. I have a very flexible schedule so I could work the times around your needs and times. Dogs are my passion and I canât wait to babysit yours!
About: Hi there! I'm Erin, a dedicated mother and lifelong animal enthusiast. With a heart full of love for all creatures great and small, I've spent most of my adult life volunteering, fostering, and caring for animals. From dogs to cats and everything in between, I've had the pleasure of nurturing and pampering a wide variety of pets. My journey into pet care started years ago when I began volunteering at local animal shelters and fostering dogs and cats in need. Over time, my passion evolved into a profession, and I've been providing top-notch pet sitting and dog walking services ever since. What sets me apart is the personal touch I bring to every interaction. As a mother, I understand the importance of family, and that includes our beloved pets. That's why I love nothing more than including my own children in our pet visits and walks. Your furry companions not only get the care and attention they deserve but also the joy of interacting with a fun-loving family. At home, our household is a bustling hub of activity, filled with the laughter and energy of children. Alongside my small and sociable Jack Russell Terrier mix and clever cat, we create a warm and welcoming environment for pets of all shapes and sizes. With experience caring for various breeds, including the majestic Great Dane, I'm well-equipped to handle the unique needs and quirks of different animals. Whether your pup needs a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood or your cat requires some extra TLC while you're away, rest assured they'll be in loving and capable hands with my family. So, if you're seeking reliable and compassionate pet care services that treat your furry friends like family, look no further. Because when it comes to your pets, they deserve nothing but the best! Pet care is not just a job for meâit's my passion and my primary focus outside of being a mom and pet owner myself. With my schedule wide open and dedicated solely to pet care, I have the flexibility to tailor my daily and weekly routine to meet the needs of both pets and their owners. Each day, I prioritize spending quality time with the pets under my care, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need to thrive. Whether it's morning walks, midday visits, or evening cuddle sessions, I'm there to provide personalized care and companionship every step of the way. My wide flexibility allows me to accommodate the unique needs of each pet, whether it's administering medication, adhering to specific feeding schedules, or simply providing extra TLC for pets with special needs. I understand that every pet is different, and I strive to create a routine that caters to their individual preferences and requirements. By limiting my bookings, I can ensure that each pet receives the care and attention they deserve without feeling rushed or overlooked. Whether it's a one-time visit or a long-term arrangement, I'm committed to providing top-notch care that exceeds both pet and owner expectations. In essence, pet care isn't just a part of my routineâit's the heart of my daily life, and I'm dedicated to making sure every pet feels loved, safe, and cherished in my care. Your pet's comfort and happiness are my top priorities. With a spacious 3-bedroom home and a large playroom addition, we offer a welcoming and secure environment for your furry friend to feel right at home. Whether your pet prefers the familiarity of their own surroundings or enjoys exploring new spaces, I can be flexible and accommodating to meet their needs. In our home, your pet will have plenty of room to roam and play, whether they're chasing toys, lounging in cozy corners, or enjoying some quality cuddle time. I understand that some pets may feel more comfortable in their own crates, and I am more than happy to accommodate those preferences to ensure they feel safe and secure during their stay. Outside of our home, we love to explore and embrace the great outdoors, making long evening walks around neighborhoods or adventures in the woods a regular part of our routine. Whether your pet enjoys a leisurely stroll or prefers a brisk run, we're committed to providing the exercise and stimulation they need to stay happy and healthy. Whether it's a staycation in our cozy home or a familiar visit to yours, you can trust our family to provide the personalized care and attention your pet deserves. Because when your pet is with us, they're not just a guestâthey're a cherished member of our family

âGlad we found Michael for our Shepsky for a week stay. He took great care of our dog. Updated about our dog well being and just cared like a family member. Michael responds very quickly and would recommend without hesitation.â


âSamantha and Brian has a large backyard for my dog to roam and they took him on a nice hike in the woods. My dog had so much fun with them and their young kids. I would choose them again for a eventful daycare that my swiss shepherd definitely needs!â

âAmanda's home was clean, welcoming and well set up for pet care. Amanda's pricing was fair and honest and she was amazing with communication throughout the day. It was obvious that she loves animals and my dog agrees as she was excited and happy on the days that she was in Amanda's care. I highly recommend her!â

âThank you Forough and Amir! We were nervous at first how Russell would do and how he would get along with other dogs, so we were so relieved to hear that he fit right in! We would definitely feel comfortable leaving him with Forough and Amir again and look forward to scheduling another visit!â


âI feel so lucky to have found Sofie and Teryn! They took such great care of my two dogs for the whole day. I was thrilled to get pictures right away and throughout the day while I was gone. I hope to use their services many times to come. Javi and Rocky were happy and very well-cared for at the beautiful home. Thank you!â


About: I love dogs. I have a rescue her name is Snickers and shes 7 months old. I've had dogs all my life. How anyone can hurt man's best friend is beyond me. She is like my child and makes me smile, keeps me company and I dont know what I would do without her. I love her with all my heart and wouldnt trade her for the world. I would treat anyone's dog like I would my own. They are all special in their own way. I would be honored to take care of your dog, I look forward to meeting you very soon. Thank you, Robin K I work full time at home and I'm able to walk my dog and take her out anytime! I'm available all day. My Snickers would love a play mate. I dont have crate but if yours needs one you'll have to bring it. I'm very diligent in taking my pup out all day long.

âWhat a wonderful family! Luiz & Patricia are incredibly professional and kind (as are their daughters & pup!) and made my girl feel right at home. She came home exhausted after having spent much of the day running around outside and playing with their dog & daughters. I always LOVE to get updates during a stay, and I received so many fun pictures and videos. I could not recommend them more!!!â

About: I've been caring for dogs for over 25 years and truly believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from tiny Chihuahuas to large breeds, as well as puppies, energetic adults, and senior dogs who require extra patience, medication, or special care. I'm naturally calm, dependable, and attentive to each pet's individual personality and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship, I adapt my care to what makes them happiest. My goal is to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable while you're away. As someone who works for myself, I have the flexibility to provide reliable daytime care and give each visit my full attention. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands. I treat every pet as if they were one of my own. I work for myself, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable, personalized care for your pets. I'm available Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, medication, and companionship. I always do my best to be punctual, reliable, and accommodate your pet's routine. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I believe pets feel most secure when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and any special needs. I'll care for your home with the same respect I would my own, provide regular updates with photos, and treat every pet like a member of my own family.
About: Iâve cared for dogs most of my life and truly treat them like family. I grew up in a home with four dogs, so Iâm very comfortable with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I also adopted and lovingly cared for a difficult senior dachshund for years, which gave me valuable experience with patience, senior dog needs, routines, and extra attentiveness. Today I have a large Bernedoodle, so Iâm confident handling bigger dogs as well as energetic pups who need exercise and structure. Iâm active and love taking dogs on walks, runs, and outdoor time when appropriate, while also making sure they get plenty of affection, snuggles, and supervision. What sets me apart is that Iâm dependable, attentive, and genuinely love dogs. I understand every dog is different, and Iâll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while youâre away. I work remotely from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be present throughout the day for the pets in my care. Because Iâm home most of the time, dogs get plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship instead of being left alone for long stretches. My flexible routine also makes it easy for me to stick to your petâs normal schedule for feeding, medications, exercise, and any special needs. Iâm able to provide attentive, consistent care and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while youâre away. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving home environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. I have a friendly, social dog who enjoys having visitors and does well with other dogs, while always making sure introductions are done thoughtfully and safely. I have a yard for outdoor time, and while it is not fenced, I use a secure runner/tie-out system and close supervision so dogs can safely enjoy fresh air, potty breaks, and time outside. I also keep dogs leashed on walks and anytime they are outdoors for added safety. If your dog is crate-trained or more comfortable with their own space, Iâm happy to accommodate crating and follow your normal home routine. I always aim to keep pets on their regular schedule for feeding, exercise, rest, and any medications or special instructions. I treat every pet like my ownâwith patience, attentiveness, and lots of love.
âWe had a wonderful experience with Dorjee! She took on our last-minute request and Ziggy came back from his day very content. Very kind, responsive, and provided us with updates during his stay. Will be sure to reach out again!â

âKatie was awesome with my dog! The moment my dog saw her, he wanted to play and I felt comfortable knowing he was going to be able to run around in her fenced yard, go on a walk and play with her. She sent me lots of cute pictures of my dog having a great time with chew toys and running around. He was very happy after a day with Katie. I loved that at the end of the day, she gave me a rundown of how his day went and whether he ate or did his business outside. I would definetly refer Katie and have my dog stay with her again!!!â

âWe were so lucky to find Jacquie! She was very flexible squeezing in a meet & greet with our dog who can be anxious around new people. She has a great, calm energy that immediately put our dog at ease. He loves playing with her 2 dogs and snuggling with her! She is responsive, professional and kind. Thank you Jacquie!â

âOur pup has enjoyed spending days with Dawn and it is especially nice for us to have a place where she can comfortably interact with young children, as we donât have that opportunity to offer her at home. Dawn also has a great fenced in backyard with lots of interesting things to smell and ways to run around and work off energy, which is great for both our pup and for us when we pick her up and know that sheâs had a fun filled active day!â

âMelissa and Omar are amazing, our young pit Luna loves going to daycare and is always so excited being dropped off every morning! Sheâs been having a great time playing outside with her new friends! Itâs just the beginning of this adventure for Luna but we canât say enough nice things about Melissa and Omarâs doggie daycare! Thank you for taking such great care of our little girl! 10 out of 10 would recommend!â

âGoose loved his first daycare session with Paola! Their huge yard was perfect for him, and he had no problems adjusting to the new space. Paola and her husband were wonderful to work with. They took the time to answer all our questions during the meet and greet, and responded promptly to all messages on the day they had Goose for daycare. We also got adorable photo and video updates, which really set my mind at ease. We highly recommend Paola and her husband for any of your dog daycare needs!â

About: I've been around dogs my entire life but have owned my own dog for the past 4 years. I am constantly watching my friend's dogs while they are away and know how important it is to have someone to trust and provide a loving and caring home away from home for your pet while you are away! I currently work from home full-time, so I'll have plenty of time to walk and play with your pup! I have a highly energetic dog, so we take several walks during the day and then I take her to nearby parks with trails after work. I'm available for boarding during the week and on weekends. I have a medium sized fenced in yard and a very sweet dog to keep your fir baby company! My dog has free reign of the house and is allowed on the furniture and sleeps in my bed but can also crate your dog if needed.

Teryn, my partner, and I both grew up in Amherst and are back in the happy valley starting this summer. He works remotely and I work seasonally so we have the time to give our attention and affection to the pups we watch. Dogsitting has become our additional full time job and we love it! Our schedules and home allow us to give 24/7 attention to your furbabies with numerous outdoor breaks, play, and of course snuggles. Though I have fortunately never had to use it, I do have extensive Dogsitting insurance to cover both boarding and housesitting. We value the peace of mind it brings both us and our clients. I have a degree in Biology and worked as a Veterinary Technician, giving me the experience of various breeds and needs. Please feel free to message me with any questions you may have. Boarding dogs has become part of our daily routine so we have a schedule to fit all needs and preferences. Once you book with us, we work our schedule around the booking. I love enjoying walks around the lake we live on, as well as the many trails nearby. We can also play fetch in the backyard if pup can be off leash. Our house is in a very low traffic area full of nature. We are very attentive and we make sure we have details on their routines, feeding, medications and any special needs.
âLilly was great to work with, as well as reliable and responsive to a small last l-minute adjustment. I loved getting the photos of Trina. I will definitely ask Lilly to care for Trina again!â

About: Iâve been a pet owner my whole life since I was a little tike. Started with a beagle that I couldnât get enough of. When I became older i adopted a red nose pittie named boo-boo and a few months later another named Meika. They were my best buds. After their passing I got into providing over night stays for my fur nephew cooper and a family friend whom has four German Shepardâs two horses a cat and dog. I was loving it! Later on I got a job in the four legged field walking dogs, play groups and providing simple behavioral training/commands with positive redirection. I recently adopted a puppy named Orion who is three months old. I really have a passion for animals and enjoy what I do. My services provided are walks with basic commands/training during those walks. If your away I can stay! Boarding can be hard and stressful for your pet. I do over night care so your fur baby can stay in the comfort of their home.
âI came in from our of town for a family gathering and needed a last minute walker for my dog. Jeffery was great with communicating with me for the last minute need. Was great handling Denise (my 2.5 year old had) and they had a nice hour long stroll around the neighborhood. Would recommendâ

âKendra was incredible! She was so easy to communicate with and provided excellent care for our two dogs. She also sent regular updates and photos. It is clear that she truly cares for animals and is very knowledgeable. We would absolutely hire her again.â


About: Hi! My name is Luci, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. As a veterinary technician student and proud dog mom to three dogs over the years, I know how much our pets mean to us. Caring for animals isn't just something I doâit's truly my passion. I love getting to know each dog's unique personality and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply keeping them company, I'll care for your pet as if they were my own. Since I'm home from college for the summer, I have a very open and flexible schedule! This allows me to be available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I love spending my free time with animals, so your pet will get lots of attention, care, and affection while you're away. As a veterinary technician student working toward becoming a Certified Veterinary Technician, I have a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and safety. Creating a safe, calm, and positive environment is always my top priority. I pay close attention to each pet's individual needs and comfort level, making sure they feel secure, loved, and stress-free while in my care.
About: I have had a passion for taking care of animals since a young age. I have experience with all types of animals. I worked as a doggy daycare attendant and a veterinary assistant, as well as shelter experience. I'm available for drop in visits and dog walking. I do not have a set schedule at work yet so I will have different availability every week. We do have a backyard which is not fenced in and a porch that I usually block off to let my dogs get outside for some fresh air.
About: Hi, I am a retired dog groomer of over 35 years. Now I am a stay at home dog mom. I am pet CPR and first aid certified as well. I am up early and to bed late so I can make sure your pups can stay on their normal schedule and stay as comfortable as possible. I very strongly feel that your pet and home has your rules and find it very important to follow any instructions given to me. That means there are rules that are in place & I stick to them.

âAlways 5 Stars for Michael and Caesar and the family! They are such fantastic communicators, so helpful and kind. Ready to make changes as needed and as plans change (like a giant blizzard - causing me to drop off early and pick up later). You couldn't ask for a cleaner, safer, FUN place for your dog to stay. Cesar's home is truly my dog's home away from home - for almost 4 years now - THE BEST!!!!â

âWe are grateful for Amanda and her family and their kind care of our dog! Her first overnight stay was a success. We received detailed updates throughout the weekend of how she was doing which helped us know she was comfortable and having fun. Thank you!â

âJessica and Josie were wonderful with Miss Ruby. Even understanding her occasional accident in the house as coming from anxiety. Possibly due to construction noises which were expected to be gone before Miss Rubyâs visit. It changed my perspective from paying for Dogcare to paying to have Miss Ruby share her joy with Josie and Jessica and their family. ???â

âEmily was very patient with my anxious girl. My sweet girl has a hard time meeting new people. We have never left her with anyone but family. Emily took the time to make her feel at ease. We trust her so much we are having her watch our girl again for a week. I highly recommend Emily.â


âDorothy was great - she and her family made Bruno feel very welcome and secure and kept us updated while we were away. He has a special diet and daily medication and she was great with giving that to him. Definitely will book again.â
âI couldnât feel more comfortable leaving my dogs with anyone else. The girls settle right in with Judy and are not that anxious to leave when I come to get them. Love her sweet dog Rosey đâ


âLuiz was quick to respond, has a wonderful home and yard that is dog friendly and safe. His family is lovely and I know my pup was cared for, entertained and loved during her stay. I couldnât have asked for a better weekend home for Daisy Mae. Thanks Luiz.â

âOzzy had a wonderful time with Nicole and her family! Nicole was relaxed and welcoming, and encouraged Ozzy to feel at home. The weather was bitter cold but Ozzy got all his energy out tearing around their fenced backyard. Nicole was very communicative, sending frequent updates and photos, Highly recommended!â

âThis was Sadie's first stay with Forough and Amir, and they took great care of her, treating her like one of the family. They sent photos and provided excellent communication throughout. When I arrived for pick-up Sadie was very happy and relaxed. Thank you!â

âI am so grateful and appreciative of Sandraâs loving care of Lulu while I was gone for 13 days. Lulu has a seizure disorder and Sandra was amazing with giving her medication and keeping me updated every day with her status and sending pictures of how well loved and cared for she was. Sandra and her husband John invited Lulu into their home and treated her as though she was theirs!â

âDogs were very happy and enjoyed their stay. They seemed well adjusted and eased back into home life. We are very pleased with Dawn with the care given and the attention the kids gave (they miss the kids!) Many thanks,â

âWe were so happy with Melissa and Axel. They took great care of our dog, sent us pictures and updates and their kids gave our dog all the love. We will definitely be rebooking.â

âMichael loved his stay with Ashton and Seph!! They sent plenty of photos of his adventures and cuddles. They were very accommodating and quick to respond as well.â

âPatti took such good care of our boy for a whole month. We wouldnât leave him with anyone else for that long. She and her pack are the best! He was so loved and at home there and came back to us happy and healthy. Thanks, Patti!â
âMigle was absolutely wonderful with ZoĂŤ. She went above and beyond-carrying her up and down the stairs because ZoĂŤ couldn't manage them, sending regular photo updates, and treating her like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing ZoĂŤ was so well cared for. Truly exceptional.â

âVignesh and his family were great with our dogs. He sent us updates, pictures, and video nearly every day. We were very pleased with the care he gave our dogs. One of our dogs is very nervous, but even he warmed up to them and cuddled up with them by the end of the stay. I can't recommend Vignesh highly enough!â
