“After a meet and greet we decided to do an overnight trial and our dog loved it! The whole family is very warm and inviting and our dog felt at home the moment he walked in the door. Their house has a nice fenced in backyard as a plus. We have already booked our summer vacation and plan on booking other trips as well. Very happy to have found such a perfect fit.”
“Everything was great! She took such a great care of my 3dogs including a puppy and daily pictures and video clip helped us a lot! I will bring my dogs to Shuling again!!”
“Michelle is an A+ sitter for our dog, Lucy. We’ve used her multiple times, and are very pleased with the excellent care that she provides. She’s a great communicator, easy to work with, friendly, yet professional and most of all, loves Lucy! We’ll be using her again!”
“Candice was great with our Bo. She sent loads of pictures (which we loved) and kept us up to date on feeding/sleeping schedules. We especially appreciated her flexibility on the pick up time. Thank you!!”

“Elena did an amazing job with our Old English Sheepdog Lady. I could really tell that she loves taking care of animals, and she did a great job. Our dog was pretty nervous as she went to the vet the day before, but Eleana made her feel at home and I thank her for that. I highly recommend her.”
“Our Bernadoodle had a great visit with Luba and James. He was there ten days and I received frequent updates including lots of pictures and reassurances that he was doing well! We will see these folks again. I am comfortable leaving our dog with them.”
“Our pets felt right at home with Janice and Stalio. They were so welcoming, helpful and accommodating with our boys. They kept us up to date daily with pictures and messages and even helped us out with making them their food because we miscounted the amount we sent. They provided amazing care and we look forward to rebooking with them in the future.”
“Brittany is an ALL STAR sitter. Caesar loves staying with her, the kiddos and other dogs. He enjoys running around the huge backyard. She always sends updates and photos. As long as she’s available, that’s where we go!”

“Becca was wonderful. We just adopted our dog 2 months prior to our trip and this was our first time leaving her with anyone. We were really nervous, but Becca's natural love for dogs put us right at ease; she was so kind and patient with our dog. She sent us daily updates and pictures - my daughter loved it! Knowing that our dog was so well cared for, really allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation!”
“She is the best! So calm and professional even around my crazy excited dog. I trust her so much. Will book her anytime. My dog always looks around for her car when we go out- that alone tells me he is happy there. Just book her. Your pup will appreciate it. Love the photos she gives at the end of the boarding.”
“Willow had the best time with Shelby and her pup Ellie. Instant best friends. I felt totally confident that our 4 year old dog was having a vacation all her own the entire weekend. Lots of time outside, on walks, playing, and snuggling. 100% would recommend and feeling so happy we have a go-to sitter :) thank you guys!”
“Marliez was great with my Bentlee. She sent plenty of pics and videos. I’m always worried about him being around other dogs because he’s so young but she handled him so well. Def would recommend.”

“Alexia is a Great Pet Sitter, she helped Rako out for 9 days, with our return He was Given Food and Water, and there was no mess. I love how she took care of his pads. Great Young Lady to hire.”
“Carlie was amazing! She was always on time, checked in every day, and sent regular photo updates and thoughtful messages. She truly cared about my cat’s well-being, especially since her care involved medication and I had never left her before. Knowing how attentive and compassionate Carlie was gave me complete peace of mind. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Adelyn was immediately responsive to our inquiry! Set up a meet and greet and hired her for the next day! We felt comfortable immediately that we made the right choice for our two cats! Very pleased and will definitely use Adelyn for our future care needs! Found out our neighbors have used Adelyn for their dogs and they also sang her praises!”
“Darragh was absolutely wonderful in caring for our cat while we were away on vacation. He demonstrated remarkable consistency and genuine care throughout. Not only did he spend quality time playing with our cat, providing her with companionship, but he also went above and beyond by voluntarily taking out the trash and tidying our cat's food dish. If you're in search of a reliable and compassionate pet sitter, Darragh is the perfect choice. We wholeheartedly endorse him and eagerly anticipate utilizing his services in the future.”
“Debi came over to meet Frank before the sitting dates to get acquainted with him and learn his routine. She was very prompt and professional. She was also very nice to Frankie Boy at the meeting. We left for our trip feeling secure that Frank would be loved. She texted every day to let us know how our boy was doing and she sent cute pictures. It gave us good peace of mind to know Debi was caring for him and that he felt loved.”
“Kayla was an incredible sitter for my bunny! I have never felt more at peace when away from home. She always sent photos of Oliver as well as his food & water so that we knew he was all taken care of. I could tell that Oliver felt super comfortable with her which was amazing! We will definitely book with Kayla full time for any future dates.”
“Jacqueline was fantastic. She came for a meet and greet and Sophia, my cat, took right to her. She followed all my instructions, but she left me with a real sense of comfort that Sophie was going to be in amazing hands. I felt so comfortable while on vacation and I loved the videos and pictures she sent to me. It was a really great experience and she is the only one I will hire in the future.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Timothy! He responded to a last-minute request and was able to fit my dog into his schedule. He made time for a meet and greet ahead of the walk to ask questions about my preferences, my dog’s behavior, training, commands, etc. My dog was very happy and tired after his excursion, which made me very happy. He also sent pics and a video from the walk. Riggs and I both look forward to working with Timothy again!”
“Mackenzie was great! She connected with our cats so well and captured their personalities in daily update photos. Mackenzie is very responsive and reliable and we will be reaching out to her again. Thanks Mackenzie!!”
“Megan did a great job taking care of my cat, Rex, who is almost 19 years old and requires thyroid medicine twice a day. She met me and Rex before my trip to get familiar with his needs and let me know how he was doing while I was gone. I highly recommend Megan and would use her services again.”
“My shy kitty really warmed up to Heather quickly and went from hiding behind the couch to romping about with his little sister while Heather was there. Both cats were well taken care of, very comforting for me while I was away.”
“Samantha did a fabulous job of staying at our house and taking care of our cat Duke while we were on vacation. She was even flexible and stayed an additional night at the beginning since we needed to depart a day earlier to avoid any weather delays. She sent daily pictures and kept in touch with us throughout the stay. I recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
“Stacie was super reliable and friendly! Accommodated everything I asked, the pics and videos of my 2 cats were very reassuring while I was away. I will definitely be a repeat client in the future!”
“Tiffany was a real trouper to come visit our 3 month old puppy. She is knowledgeable, organized and loves dogs. Communicates promptly, and is open to changing circumstances. I highly recommend her.”
“Bella did a great job! She was super easy to communicate with. Based on the pictures she sent of my cat, it seemed like Tabby really liked her, which is rare with pet sitters! I would definitely hire Bella again!”
“Emily has watched our cats before, and she's an amazing sitter. We have 3 cats and she cares for them like we do. They were all fed, litter boxes cleaned thoroughly, and were given lots of love and attention. She even offered to administer one of the cats their medication if it arrived in the mail on time. She sent lots of photos and a very detailed report each visit. Leaving your fur babies behind while going away is hard enough, but having Emily care for our kitties reassured us that they would have every need met.”
“Jean was wonderful. She took care of our two cats for a week. They can be shy, but in each of the photos they were in heaven! The house looked beautiful and she even cleaned all litter boxes before leaving and changed guest room sheets since i was bring home a son who got sick on trip. As to tip I had two envelopes ready before we left—one with tip and second with money she could treat herself to Door Dash. She is definitely a “cat whisperer “ and we would want only to use her in future. A+++”
“Owen was so kind, patient and helpful while we were away. He took care of everything that we asked and went above and beyond. Thank you so much! Definitely recommend working with him.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Arnold
“Ed and Amy are pleasant and attentive to their pet guests. Plus, they are very good about making sure animals get bathroom breaks and exercise. In addition, Gunner’s warm demeanor always makes people feel welcome.”
“Dana is our guardian angel. I am a self proclaimed helicopter mama but I felt completely at easy leaving my little girl. Maddie got to go on a field trip to the garden store and then play in the yard. She couldn’t have been happier which made me happy. We can’t wait to spend another day with Dana and her amazing husband.”
“I have used Michelle for both of my dogs, yesterday was her first time watching my 3 month old yorkie & she did a wonderful job. She made sure he was comfortable because he was afraid at first. I really appreciate Michelle for all of her help. I highly recommend her to anyone needing pet sitting services.”
“Alex communicated throughout our dog’s stay, shared lots of photos, and took him out for walks. Our shy boy normally takes weeks to adjust to a new sitter, but clearly liked being with Alex and her pack.”
“Sooo easy to work with her under flexible conditions. My hound is a rescue from a nine-year life of abuse. Celena allowed Miguel and me to do a met and greet ahead of time so that it wouldn’t be a shock for him. He was treated as a visiting family member and enjoyed his stay.”
“Jenna had to handle my anxious dog on the day of the blue angels (definitely his least favorite next to 4th of July) and she was great with no complaints at all for all his nervous antics. Highly recommend!”
“Kaci was amazing with woody! He loved her company and her dog’s too! They went on multiple trips for woody to play and have fun! We’re truly thankful and grateful for her hard and amazing dog! She was very communicative and very flexible during the whole time, she is phenomenal.”
“Brittany is the seriously best! She took care of my 2 year old labradoodle, and it was clear from the photos that my dog was having the time of her life in her big backyard and welcoming environment. Thank you, Brittany!”
“Lucy and Daniel are a great team for the best doggy daycare you could ever want/need for your dog! My dog is extremely needy and they gave him nothing but love. We look forward to next time!”
“Danielle was the perfect sitter for my pups! She was incredibly easy to work with, responsive, and kind. My dogs absolutely loved their time with her. When I went to pick them up they didn’t want to leave! Would highly recommend. Thank you!!!”
“Whitney is an excellent care provider for my fur baby! My girl suffers from separation anxiety and I needed someone she could hang out with when I was at work and my family was out of town. All I can say is this was the first time my baby was actually excited to leave me and stay with someone! She wagged her tail and easily went to Whittney when I dropped her off. Always came back to me happy and relaxed. Whittney was great sending me lots of pictures and she regularly took her for a walk. Plus, Whittney is so sweet herself, I want to be her friend!”

“Carlie was amazing! She came over for a meet and greet beforehand and we felt very comfortable having her walk our pup after meeting her. She seemed very knowledgeable and kind hearted and trustworthy. She came over for 2 walks and sent us distance, updates, and photos. I hope she's available every time we need a walker!”

“Marley was absolutely wonderful with Fiora! The photos she sent during each walk were beautiful, and Fiora always came home happy and pleasantly worn out — which is everything you could ask for. We couldn't recommend her more highly, and she'll be our first call whenever Fiora needs her daily walk covered.”
“Great dog walking services. Allison is always responsive and attentive to my dogs needs. She is honest about schedule and timing and I appreciate her for this! My dogs always sleep well after and are happy for their walks with Allison.”

I could also be available around lunchtime during the week. My cat who unfortunately has now passed pretty much owned the second bedroom and bathroom in my home. I always made sure she is comfy, happy and had lots of boxes and her favorite string (she refused to use an actual cat bed but LOVES boxes!) I will make sure your pet is always well cared for, loved (if they desire) and catered to whatever they need (even if it’s a box)!

“I’m so glad we found Adelyn to walk our pup on the days I need to go into the office! She clearly has a lot of experience with dogs and took the time to make our guy feel at ease during the meet and greet as he can be a little skittish around new people. They have the best time together now! We’ll continue to use Adelyn whenever we need care.”
“Amber was absolutely awesome. She walked our dog Cisco for a few days during the week when I was out of town on business and my wife was working late in DC.
