“Lingwen was AMAZING! She made Nico feel super comfortable at her home and welcomed. Lingwen sent updates and pictures of Nico thought out the stay which we loved. Thank you much again for caring for Nico! If you’re looking for a sitter, do not hesitate to book her. She’s the best :)”
“We boarded our dog for the second time for over a week with Vignesh and are extremely satisfied with his care and updates. He’s also very accommodating with our dates and pick up and drop off times.”
“Jace was wonderful with Luna! He kept us in the loop with clear communication, updates, and photos, and made sure she was well cared for. It was wonderful knowing she was happy and getting lots of walks while we were away. I highly recommend Jace and would definitely book with him again!”
“Melissa did a great job taking care of yummy! We had a two-week extended stay. She shared photo updates regularly and flags issues proactively. Would recommend to anyone.”
“Tracee was great with our dog (a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel). Tracee and her family are very friendly, and you can tell how much they love animals. Tracee sent several updates with pictures during our trip, and it was very reassuring to know that our dog was settling in well and having a good time. Our dog was in great spirits when we picked her up. I will definitely be using Tracee again!”
“Briana took amazing care of our pup Chase for nine days in June 2021 and we couldn't be more grateful! She is an all-around dog expert, and the friendliest person you'll meet. Briana took the time to send us daily updates, along with pictures and videos, which eased our anxiety (it's our first time away from our first dog) and proved that we chose the right person for the job. FIVE STARS all the way !!!”
“Recently we lost one of our two dogs. We had a trip planned for only a couple weeks later and had to board our second dog alone for the first time. Gabe was an excellent choice and probably the most knowledgeable in training that we have had so far! He was communicative, responsible, and made us feel completely confident while we were gone! Definitely will be giving him a call again for our trips.”
“Mariann has taken care of Willow twice now and Willow has done well and come home happy and healthy. This visit Willow got to play with Mariann's dog Coco, a little socialization is good for Willow!”
“Absolute gem of a sitter! Bella had a great time with Dawn and her family for two nights. They are incredibly nice caring people. They took great care of Bella and provided updates with photos throughout the stay. I recommend Dawn be everyone’s first choice!”
“Andreana is very personable and clearly loves dogs. My Pippa enjoyed the time spent going for walks and playing with her new bestie, Milo. Andreanna has the energy and outlook to keep up with these active pups! I know my girl was well cared for while I was away.”
“Titus left Erica's house so happy and relaxed for the whole day after. She sent many pictures and videos throughout his stay and made me feel better about leaving him. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsive dog sitter.”
“Paola is AMAZING!!!! I boarded my dog with her for 7 days and she treated her like she was her own. She sent me multiple updates thought the day and my baby/pup always looked happy 🤍. A million times recommended!”
“Melissa was great ! My two Golden Retrievers had such a great time and loved being around the kids. They came home calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing they were in great hands. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Jacqueline was gracious and kind enough to board my 1-year old with short notice and an extended period of time. She responded very well and provided frequent updates to let me know how he was doing.”
“Migle was absolutely wonderful with Zoë. She went above and beyond-carrying her up and down the stairs because Zoë couldn't manage them, sending regular photo updates, and treating her like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing Zoë was so well cared for. Truly exceptional.”
“Molly is amazing. So kind and thoughtful with our dogs, kept us updated and sent lots of pictures. Usually when they spend the night away from us they’re anxious and confused, but they were super relaxed and happy. Thank you Molly!!!”

“Amazing cat sitter! Could not have asked for someone more reliable and friendly. Checked in everyday, very communicative, and my cat loved her. First time using this service and definitely not the last. Recommend to anyone in the area! Thank you again!”
About: I am out of the house for 6 hours a day due to work. I have Fridays and Saturdays off! If your pup is crate trained or can stay in the house alone with no problems, I would love to have them stay with me! I have hands-on experience in pet care, including two years working at a doggy daycare, as well as caring for dogs and cats since I was young. I will do everything I can to ensure your furry friends feel happy, comfortable, and safe while in my care. 🐾 Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I take walks every morning and afternoon and would love to have your dog join me. Your pet will always have my full, undivided attention. I always start by gently building trust with your pet, letting them feel comfortable and secure at their own pace. Once they’ve warmed up, they’re welcome to explore my home freely. I have a variety of cat and dog toys so every pet feels at home. My home is calm, quiet, and full of positive energy. If I ever need to step out briefly, your dog will relax in a cozy crate with soft blankets, fresh water, and a peanut-butter-filled Kong, making it a safe and comforting space while you’re away.
“Eko and Sarah were great! Our cat is very high energy so we needed someone to wear him out, and they did! He had a great time. They gave us plenty of updates so we always knew what was happening, and they took some great photos 😊 We really appreciated their communication and attentiveness.”
“Maya did a wonderful job taking care of my Lily. She sent lots of pictures and her updates were very informative. She also gave her meds, which Lily did not make easy, but she got it done. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing Lily was well taken care of. I cannot give her enough stars!! I would book her again!!”
“Nicole was great with my cat Hallie! Hallie is a very sweet and loving cat, but also very skittish around strangers. In a few short days, Nicole was able to gain her trust and Hallie would hang out with her. Nicole was very quick with responding to messages, particularly when I had questions or concerns, especially when Hallie was found to have some health issues less than a week before I was going out of town. Hallie seemed much happier and more energetic when I came back than when I left. I attribute that to Nicole taking such great care of her.”
“We have used Paulina’s services a few times now, and she is the best! She is very reliable and goes above and beyond the call of duty. Not only does she take great care of our cat, she looks after our home, too. She alerted us to a problem with our a/c and watched for our mail and when her booking is done she makes sure that we have returned. It puts our minds at ease when we travel knowing Paulina is there. We will use her services again and again.”
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for my own two dogs, and two cats, plus growing up surrounded by family dogs, I bring genuine, lifelong pet care knowledge! During the week, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate ample time to walking and caring for pets to make sure that they pets receive the attention and exercise they need! Safety and trust are my top priorities when walking pets. I will use whatever leash or harness provided by the owner that is well-fitted to ensure control and comfort. I stay vigilant, avoiding potentially hazardous areas and always checking for traffic before crossing streets. I prioritize a calm and friendly environment, allowing pets to explore safely while providing positive reinforcement and plenty of affection. Your pets well-being is my utmost concern, and I treat them with the same care and respect as I would my own!
“Haley is the BEST! It’s difficult to leave a family pet behind, especially for children. Haley goes out of her way to send pictures and updates during her visit with our cat, giving us all great piece of mind. Highly recommend this sitter, she’s our #1 pick!”
“Holly ended up being the perfect match to care for my cat while I was away for the weekend! Communication was great and she is the only person I know that my cat immediately warmed up to! He tends to be shy and it usually takes him some time to get comfortable with new people but he seemed to enjoy her company from the first time she walked in the door! I highly recommend Holly and absolutely plan on using her services anytime I plan to be away! I can tell she cared for my fur baby just as much as she cares for her own which helps relieve the anxiety of leaving him with someone new!”
“This was my 2nd time booking with Alison, I was so happy to know she was available for the time I was away again. She’s great to communicate with and always sends tons of photos during her visits 😊”
“Laura took great care of our cat while we were on vacation for ten days. She kept in regular contact with us, and our cat was in good spirits when we got home. We would definitely hire Laura again!”

“Jen was a punctual, knowledgeable, and reliable cat sitter from our first visit to the last check in. Her reports show her pertinent observations on changes in the cat’s play and feeding behavior with good solutions to these behaviors. She was also willing to bring in the mail and take out the trash while we were away. The cats were playful and engaged in the videos she posted. We recommend Jen as a pet sitter and will use her services in the future.”
“Olivia is amazing!! Milo was very scared and agitated when the weekend began, but through Olivia’s patience and love became her happy self again!! Her calm demeanor with Milo reassured her and made her feel comfortable! She walked her everyday and her communication was very much appreciated!!!”
“Jackie has been so wonderful and helpful! Our new puppy needs a lot of face time, and having such a kind and attentive dog nanny keeps this nervous dog mommy from worrying on work days! She keeps our Dolly on schedule and reinforces good habits and training. I cannot recommend her enough!!”

“Here’s a warm, genuine 5-star review you could leave: We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Lingwen! She took exceptional care of Max and treated him like he was part of her own family. Throughout his stay, she kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear from every update that she genuinely cared about his happiness, comfort, and well-being. Max came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. We truly appreciated her kindness, attention to detail, and the personal touch she brought to every aspect of his care. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dedicated to caring for their pet. Thank you so much, Lingwen! 🐾❤️”
“Meli took such great care of my fur baby! From the moment I was in touch with Meli, I felt safe and excited about the opportunity to have Ollie spend the day with her and her pup Nina. She was warm and assuring, and very quick to respond to messages! When I met Meli in person to drop Ollie off, I was happy to find such a friendly and kind person in real life, too! She sent me photos and updates throughout the 6 hours that Ollie was with her for “day care” (without me even needing to ask!) and I could tell he was having fun and being taken care of so well! I would absolutely recommend Meli and would love to have Ollie stay with her again if we need a sitter in Bloomington. Thanks Meli! ?”
About: I grew up in a home where we always had many animals. Because of that, caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I’ve spent many years helping take care of pets at home and for family and friends. I currently have a cat named Floyd, who I recently adopted. He is very affectionate, loving, gentle, and gets along very well with other animals. I currently work from home full-time during the weekdays, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability Monday through Friday. Being home throughout the day allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, companionship, and supervision. I enjoy incorporating pet care into my daily routine and making sure animals feel comfortable, active, and well cared for while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Although my home does not have a fenced yard, I always take pets outside on a leash and stay with them while they enjoy time outdoors. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks and giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day.
About: Life-long pet owner with a passion for pets and over 4 years of experience with reactive dogs, I offer pet sitting, dog walking, check-ins, and private lessons. Trust me to provide quality care and tailored solutions for your beloved pet(s), ensuring their happiness and well-being! I have a flexible schedule and can provide easy care for your pet(s). My calendar will always remain up to date, but if you have specific questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. I have 2 friendly pups, but also have baby gates, and seperate levels in my house to keep dogs separated if needed. I have different leashes (short and long), a variety of enrichment toys to keep them entertained.
“Tsuki had a great time with Vignesh . It was her first time away from us but Vignesh did a great job he was regularly updating us with her photos and videos . We were peaceful at home since our baby was in safe hands . Thank you so much Vignesh for all the love and attention you gave for our baby”
“Delia was absolutely fantastic taking care of our nine month old puppy Oakley. We had to travel from out of state to Massachusetts for a funeral and she kept our puppy for most of the day, keeping us updated with pictures and videos along the way. Very conscientious and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended!”
“Andreana is such a sweet person! She was great with Nala today. Nala was very happy and comfortable with Andreana. I received updates from Nala during the day and she looked happy. We will be back!”
“Molly is so great with our standard poodle puppy! He’s always super excited to get to her house and tired and happy when he gets back home. Molly is very communicative — sharing pictures and updates during the day and letting us know how everything went when we pick him up. We’re so glad to have found Molly and would absolutely recommend her to other dog owners!”
“I would recommend Amy & Thomas to anyone with working/guardian breeds, they are with your dogs all day and on top of everything. Dogs get access to potty breaks instantly, and get the mental enrichment they need. They are extremely welcoming, kind, and informative on how they care for your dog. I have a Doberman and if you know Dobermans, they’re a sensitive and strong breed, and very intelligent. They earned my Dobermans trust fast, and she listened for them while under their supervision. They’re educated on dog training and can handle any dog you have, very loving family to have around your pets. 11/10 care! I would book them for every occasion! :)”
About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up with two dogs, two cats, and even turtles and birds. Throughout high school, I cared for my neighbors' dogs and cats and regularly looked after my extended families pets while they were away, this gave me years of hands on experience with animals of all kinds. I have experience with fostering animals so I have taken care of blind dogs, dogs with diabetes and other disabilities that I am familiar with. I currently work part time at a grocery store, I don’t get a lot of hours so I have a lot of free time! I love animals so I make time for them at all times of the week :). I have a dog park at my apartment that many dogs i have watched loved to run around and play with the other dogs in. My apartment is also very spacious so cats and dogs have plenty of roaming space. I often make sure I get used to any animals environment fast, check out their favorite spots and make sure they’re as comfortable as possible while I am around them!

“Rhadika is a wonderful sitter! She took great care of Bruno and she communicated with me many times during the day with details and photos! Very much appreciated! We will use her again.”
“Lee was really fantastic with August. He was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and even some videos of August which I really appreciated. Highly recommend Lee if you're in the Worcester area and I will definitely be rebooting with him next time I'm in tbr stra.”
“Mipha's first time at daycare after her spay, she was so excited to finally get to play with other doggies. Melissa made sure to update with plenty of pictures and videos. She was also very quick in replying to any messages/questions/requests you may have.”
“Rosie had a fantastic time at Margaret’s house. She was very comfortable and Margaret was very knowledgeable about older dogs. She took Rosie on several walks during the day and gave her lunch.”
“Alexis was such a kind and patient sitter! She immediately knew how to handle Louis with him being so small and even cleaned up an accident he had indoors! Her dog and Louis got along so well and we would absolutely recommend Alexis to anyone looking for a great sitter!”

I specialize in providing a safe, comfortable, home-like environment for small dogs. My home has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and enjoy time outside. I intentionally keep my boarding numbers low so every dog receives plenty of individual attention, enrichment, exercise, and affection. I have experience with dogs of many different personalities and energy levels, from playful adults to sweet seniors. I’m also comfortable administering medications when needed and always do my best to stick to each dog’s normal routine so they feel right at home. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. That’s why I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay, so you can relax knowing they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family, and I can’t wait to meet you and your pup!

“Our dog Barfee had a great time with Natalie! She’s very caring, reliable and good with communication and sending us pictures of him on their walks. Would definitely book her again!”
“Louca worked wonders for us and our super reactive miniature dachshund. His patience, knowledge, and professional and positive attitude were a huge relief after searching for and failing to find someone to look after our dog when we were away for short periods. Louca has given us so much hope for our little puppy’s future and we look forward to working with him again! Thank you Louca !!”
“Our dog is a handful and Gabriela has done such an amazing job with him. She is incredibly patient and goes over the top to make sure Bruno is able to get all of his energy (and he has a LOT of it) out during their mid-day walks. She has even stayed over their allotted time if he needs a little extra time to get settled back in after their walk, giving him lots of water and treats to hold him over until we get home. So happy we found Gabriela!”
About: My family has only adopted dogs from shelters, so I know the trials and tribulations that come with sweet pups who need love. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have experienced many different behaviors. I am currently on summer break from school, so my availability is extremely flexible! I’m open to any time of day you may need. I am willing to accommodate however you prefer to have your dog treated. I will provide love, compassion, and kindness to gain both your trust and your dog’s.
About: I've been around cats my entire life and currently share my home with two cats, Oscar Wilde and Dorian Gray. Growing up, cats were always part of the family. One of my most memorable experiences was helping care for a mother cat and her seven kittens after we rescued them from my grandmother's farm. Since then, I've cared for many cats with a wide range of personalities, temperaments, and needs. In addition to caring for cats, I've looked after dogs for friends and family, ranging from small Yorkiepoos to large German Shepherds. My experience includes walking dogs, providing daily care, staying in owners' homes for extended periods, and taking dogs on hikes and outdoor adventures to keep them active and engaged. I believe pets thrive with a balance of affection, play, consistency, and structure. Every pet has a unique personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one special while ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am currently finishing my degree and preparing to start my professional career, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. Outside of school, I help care for my nephews once a week and play volleyball a few times each week. Because my schedule is flexible, I can often accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including multiple drop-in visits throughout the day. I understand how important consistency and attention are for pets, and I'm happy to work with each client's schedule to ensure their pets receive the care, companionship, and routine they're used to while their owners are away. While I am unable to host pets in my home due to HOA restrictions, I am happy to care for pets in their own home where they can remain comfortable in a familiar environment. When house sitting, I make it a priority to follow each pet's established routine, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise, playtime, and any household rules. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe and secure while their owners are away. I also provide updates so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are being well cared for. In addition to pet care, I am happy to help with basic house-sitting tasks such as bringing in mail, watering plants, taking out trash, and helping maintain the home while you're away.
About: Hi there! I’ve been around animals my whole life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. From growing up with pets to helping out friends and family with their dogs and cats, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience giving pets the love, care, and attention they deserve. I’ve also volunteered at dog daycares and animal shelters, where I learned how to handle pets of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply making sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away, I treat every animal like my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’m dedicated to making sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I am currently working part time during the week but they are not long shifts so I will have a flexible schedule to be able to watch your pets. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. On walks, I make sure leashes are secure and choose safe routes that fit your dog’s pace and energy level. During drop in visits, I’ll refresh food and water, give plenty of love and attention, and ensure everything is safe and secure before I leave.
About: My husband and I live with our 7 and 4 yr old girls in a sidewalk lined Westborough neighborhood. In your reservation, please mention any behavioral patterns or phobias. (Does your dog take a while to do business outside? Does he or she squat several times? How long can he or she go without potty breaks? Do we have a runner?) Bring your pup, I'll bring the love and care! P.S. Please bring a crate for your dog if in the past, your dog has gotten into things and chewed. Many dog owners find themselves surprised that their dogs may exhibit destructive behavior at a sitter's house that they do not exhibit at home, like chewing and tearing things up. Your dog, in this case, will only be crated while we are out of the house. My husband works full-time, while I am home intermittently. But your baby will get lots of attention. During the weekdays, the house sits empty anywhere 3-5hrs. Your pet must be OK with that. I grew up with dogs: Scottish Terrier, Jack Russell Terrier, Rottweiler, Dachshunds, Chinese Crested, and Silky Terriers are the dogs my family members have owned and loved in my lifetime. I have no dogs of my own (anymore), but two little girls who just love and crave a dog in the house. If your dog is a no-no on little kids, this will not be a good fit for you.
“Logan is awesome!! She did a great job walking Stella. Stella was so excited for her walk each day, and I loved seeing the pictures and updates. I would definitely recommend her! Thank you, Logan!!”
About: Is your pup a social eater who gets a little sad when their humans are away? Don’t worry—I’m more than happy to sit on the floor with them, offer some calm encouragement, and help them feel comfortable enough to eat at their own pace. Maybe your senior cat needs medication, injections, or someone to keep a close eye on their resting respiratory rate, appetite, water intake, or other important health changes. Or maybe your furry family member simply needs someone to stop by for fresh food and water, playtime, and plenty of snuggles while you’re away. Whatever your pet’s needs, I’ll care for them with the same dedication and attention I give my own. I have extensive experience caring for both cats and dogs, including seniors and pets with complex medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, giving injections, following detailed care instructions, and adapting to each pet’s unique routine. If your pet has a specific schedule or care plan, I’m happy to follow it closely to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. Whether your pet needs extra patience, a calm presence, or specialized care, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also lived with veterinarians for 15 years, where I gained invaluable practical knowledge about animal behavior, common medical conditions, and the subtle changes that can signal something isn’t quite right. While I’m not a veterinarian, I learned what situations should prompt a call to you or your veterinarian, along with countless practical tips for safely handling and caring for pets. I know how much trust it takes to leave someone else with a member of your family. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your pet will receive the same kindness, patience, attention, and respect I would want for my own. My goal is to match your pet's routine as much as possible while you are away, and my schedule reflects that. In addition to pet sitting, I care for an elderly family member, which allows for a lot of flexibility. I’m happy to come to your home, where your pet is most comfortable and their routine stays as normal as possible. My goal is to earn your cat or dog’s trust so they see my visits as something to look forward to while they’re missing their favorite people. With cats, I let them set the pace. I wait for them to approach, sniff me, and decide when they’re ready to say hello. Dogs are usually much more social, but I still like to get down to their level and let them get to know me before we jump into playtime or a walk. Trust is everything—both for your pets and for you. I want you to feel confident that your furry family member is safe, happy, and cared for just the way you would care for them yourself.
“I know I can always count on Laura to take amazing care of my pups! She’s always on time, communicative and I know my dogs are always well cared for - I can’t recommend her enough! :)”
“Tori took care of our Duke who is a 115 pound Labradane for the first time. We had a great meet and greet, she was very knowledgeable and accommodating to what Duke needed, she took great care of him. She was on time and responsive letting us know how Duke did. He enjoyed his time with Tori. We will definitely be using Tori's services again. Thank you again Tori for helping us out and being so kind our our biggest baby Duke😊”
“Nicole was great! I used her to come check on my pug and walk him. She was very responsive while I was away for a weekend and the communication was easy. She left notes about Cooper’s walks, along with the cutest pictures! I also noticed she spent well over 30 minutes on his walks and made sure he was all settled before she left. I appreciate her thoroughness and will definitely be using her again! :)”
“Paul is AWESOME! We’ve been using his services for a few weeks now whenever we need him. He is available, flexible, communicative, responsible and our Pup loves him! So glad we found him! Highly recommend!”
About: Your dog will love me! I've been around animals my whole life, growing up on a horse farm and always having a dog by my side. My current furry friend is 6months old and my previous dog was nearly 17!! I have experience with dogs of all ages! I am also available take care of bunnies too! I am very experienced with them and know that sometimes a bunny break is needed <3 From the dog park, the fields, and to the city streets I am capable of bringing your dog to their favorite spots safely. I have a dog safe car seat readily in my vehicle if trips are requested! I'm super detail-oriented and always make sure the animals I care for are healthy and happy. Growing up on a horse farm taught me a lot about animal care, from brushing and feeding to the nitty-gritty like picking hooves. Plus, I've had dogs my whole life. Your pet will be in great hands! I care for pets in my home by ensuring they're as comfortable and healthy as possible! Cleanliness is super important for a pet's health. If requested, I'd be happy to bathe or brush your pet to keep them looking and feeling their best!
About: I’ve fostered and owned cats and dogs since I was little. I worked at a dog daycare where I manage dogs from every size and breed! I’ve worked there for two years and have lots of experience! I work as a dog daycare attendant and a kennel technician there. I go to school at the University of Delaware and am home for the summer! I currently work a job of about 25 hours a week and sometimes will be shadowing veterinarians. My work schedule is not the same every week, but I can adjust as needed. I am trained from my job in animal handling and how to handle health challenges. I cannot do medicine unless it is already packaged in the food provided. I am a massive animal lover and am ready to give so much love & attention to the your pets!
About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up with two dogs, two cats, and even turtles and birds. Throughout high school, I cared for my neighbors' dogs and cats and regularly looked after my extended families pets while they were away, this gave me years of hands on experience with animals of all kinds. I have experience with fostering animals so I have taken care of blind dogs, dogs with diabetes and other disabilities that I am familiar with. I currently work part time at a grocery store, I don’t get a lot of hours so I have a lot of free time! I love animals so I make time for them at all times of the week :). I have a dog park at my apartment that many dogs i have watched loved to run around and play with the other dogs in. My apartment is also very spacious so cats and dogs have plenty of roaming space. I often make sure I get used to any animals environment fast, check out their favorite spots and make sure they’re as comfortable as possible while I am around them!
“We originally asked Caroline if she could walk and feed our two dogs as we were planning to a long day trip. However, we woke up to find our oldest dog not doing very well. It turned out that he had cancer and that we would have to put him down. It was a long agonizing day trying of running tests and considering options before finally deciding that the most humane treatment would be to euthanize. Through all this, we are thankful to Caroline who took care of our remaining fur children--a dog and a cat. It was a great relief to not have to think or worry about them so we could focus on our oldest dog in his time of need.”

“We boarded our dog for the second time for over a week with Vignesh and are extremely satisfied with his care and updates. He’s also very accommodating with our dates and pick up and drop off times.”
“Tracee was great with our dog (a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel). Tracee and her family are very friendly, and you can tell how much they love animals. Tracee sent several updates with pictures during our trip, and it was very reassuring to know that our dog was settling in well and having a good time. Our dog was in great spirits when we picked her up. I will definitely be using Tracee again!”
“Briana took amazing care of our pup Chase for nine days in June 2021 and we couldn't be more grateful! She is an all-around dog expert, and the friendliest person you'll meet. Briana took the time to send us daily updates, along with pictures and videos, which eased our anxiety (it's our first time away from our first dog) and proved that we chose the right person for the job. FIVE STARS all the way !!!”
“Recently we lost one of our two dogs. We had a trip planned for only a couple weeks later and had to board our second dog alone for the first time. Gabe was an excellent choice and probably the most knowledgeable in training that we have had so far! He was communicative, responsible, and made us feel completely confident while we were gone! Definitely will be giving him a call again for our trips.”
“Mariann has taken care of Willow twice now and Willow has done well and come home happy and healthy. This visit Willow got to play with Mariann's dog Coco, a little socialization is good for Willow!”

“Titus left Erica's house so happy and relaxed for the whole day after. She sent many pictures and videos throughout his stay and made me feel better about leaving him. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsive dog sitter.”
“Paola is AMAZING!!!! I boarded my dog with her for 7 days and she treated her like she was her own. She sent me multiple updates thought the day and my baby/pup always looked happy 🤍. A million times recommended!”

“Migle was absolutely wonderful with Zoë. She went above and beyond-carrying her up and down the stairs because Zoë couldn't manage them, sending regular photo updates, and treating her like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing Zoë was so well cared for. Truly exceptional.”
“Molly is amazing. So kind and thoughtful with our dogs, kept us updated and sent lots of pictures. Usually when they spend the night away from us they’re anxious and confused, but they were super relaxed and happy. Thank you Molly!!!”
“Krista and Henry took such good care of Ziggy while we were away! Ziggy can be a little unsure in new environments and with new people, but he settled in quickly with them. We received lots of videos of Ziggy playing his favorite games and got in a lot of fun yard time. He had a blast and came home a very happy and tired dog.”
“Delia was absolutely incredible. Numerous daily updates on all their adventures. Honestly thought our dog wouldn’t want to come back to us with all the great things she was doing with him. Highly recommended!”
“Julie is so wonderful!!! She was very welcoming to us and our dogs. Her calm manner is comforting to pets and pet parents. She kept us updated, so our days away were worry free. Thank you for having such expert caregivers that keep our babies both safe and happy! We highly recommend Julie and will definitely use her again.”
“Radhika and her family did a fantastic job watching over and taking care of our pup while we were out of state for a few days over the 4th Holiday. I absolutely recommend Radhika as a trusted sitter for anyone’s dog. It was a relief to know our dog was in great hands while we were away.”
“We have used Elaine every time we have gone away to take care of our dogs. She is extremely responsible, loving and caring with the dogs and couldn’t imagine leaving them anywhere else. Highly recommended.”
