“Nicole was very kind and attentive to Shirley. Shirley requires a lot of human company, and Nicole and her family provided that in spades! I received regular updates regarding Shirley’s activities, as well as photos. Book Nicole and your furry friend will be in good hands.”
“Another amazing stay with Danielle! This is the second time Coco has stayed with her for an extended visit, and once again, we couldn’t be happier. It truly feels like a doggy vacation paradise for her. We know she is so well cared for, and we’ll absolutely be back again.”
“Jess is simply amazing with my elderly and very high maintenance Havanese. He has serious separation anxiety but I never worry about him when I drop him off. She’s very attentive and patient and will go out of her way to make him comfortable. She’s really the only one I trust with my baby 🥰”
“Aida was a wonderful sitter and my dog had a great time with her! He enjoyed time spent in her large yard, many walks, and an overall comfortable stay. She shared frequent updates and pictures, and was happy to adapt to my dog’s routine and quirks. I felt so comfortable and was able to enjoy my trip, knowing my dog was in fabulous care.”
“Took great care of my older dog. And my older dog has issues with food and people but regardless of those issues she still took great care of her and gave good updates.”
“My lhasa apso is very attached to us and shows high anxiety when a family member is not around, even to the point of vomiting when my daughter went away on a trip in June. I was very nervous about leaving him during our family vacation, but Sarah and her family went above and beyond to make sure that Oliver was comfortable. He received lots of belly rubs and attention, went on nice walks and trips to the dog park, and became BFF's with Jack, their beagle. Sarah sent numerous pictures at least twice a day, and my favorites were of Oliver and Jack snuggling together. Seeing this pictures greatly helped my own anxiety at being so far away from my fur baby. Sarah also gave updates. Her family just really seemed to understand dogs. She was not upset when Oliver had "marked a piece of furniture" but was totally cool about it; similarly, when I warned her that Oliver is prone to throwing up when away from his family, her response was, "we have hardwood floors so it's easy to clean up." Oliver had a wonderful experience with Sarah, Jack, and the rest of the family, and I recommend her for anyone and especially those with anxious pups.”
“We had to book last minute since for the 4th of July holiday weekend and Shatonia was so accommodating and understanding. She was very professional and responsive when I would check in and she was very understanding when traffic made us later than anticipated for pickup. Our pup seemed to have a good time and we definitely recommend booking with Shatonia!”
“We truly value the care and love Linda provides our buddy Biscuit. We know he loves his walks in the woods with her! Great communication throughout his stays, too.”
“Melissa was wonderful! We received great pictures and updates during our stay. Drop off and pick up was very easy. She was able to manage our large dog and small dog with ease! Our dogs enjoyed Melissa, their stay and playing with her two girls. We will definitely use Melissa again!”
“They were so flexible with my ridiculous scheduled on top of it being a last minute booking! I wish I got more updates, but I also could've just asked for more because they were super responsive whever I reached out. They took good care of my sweet Marley! Definitely will be booking them again!”
“Steph has a beautiful yard and I love the photos/updates she sends of my dog. It looks like she has a great time playing with Steph’s pups as well. Very happy to have found a great pet sitter in the area.”
“Chrissy is a great choice when looking for someone to care for your pet. She is communicative and keeps you informed with how your pet is doing. She is super kind, friendly, and clearly loves animals. Your pet will NOT be lonely!”
“This was Faye’s first pet sitting experience that wasn’t with a family member, and she has separation anxiety, so I was nervous about how she would do. However, after our initial communications and meet and greet, we felt very confident in leaving Faye with Meagan. Meagan was very easy to communicate with and sent some great pictures! Faye also got along very well with her dogs. I would highly recommend!!!”
“Amazing! So accommodating and kind as I kept changing the drop off and pick up times due to driving from New York. Got great pictures and my pup was so happy when I picked her up! 10/10 would recommend again!”
“Aparna was so great with Piper! She was responsive, communicative with me about how Piper was doing, and Piper was right at home. I will definitely be reaching out for future sitting needs!”
“Shruti and Hazel (her beautiful dog) took such great care of Nani. I was out of the country for 8 days and I honestly thought Nani might think she belonged to Shruti now! That's what great care they gave her!”
“Shannon kept us updated every day with how our girl was doing. It really put us at ease to know she was being cared for with such consideration.”
“Shanikki was great! Watched Coal over the weekend, and I could tell from the start he'd have a good time and be safe under her care. Space was more than accommodating for my dog, and she showed him a lot of love and attention to help manage his separation anxiety. Also had great communication and updates on him with very prompt responses. Will definitely book again. ✨️”
“LC had a WONDERFUL time with Erin & her pup!!! We will definitely be hitting Erin up again when we need a dogsitter. She is the nicest person EVER! She is just WONDERFUL!”
“Emily & Patrick are wonderful pet people! They took great care of Karson while we were away and sent us updates as promised. Karson loved hanging with his new friend Biscuit (Emily & Patrick's dog) too! Highly recommend them!”

“Excellent petsitter, he took special care to manage both my somewhat skittish cat and my more friendly one. He was also available at short notice, which was a lifesaver for us.”
“Nathalie was a great sitter for my 3 cats! She was reliable, did exactly as asked, and had great communication. I will likely book her again in the future!”
“Annie took great care of my two cats with medical needs while I was away on vacation. I received pictures of both of my boys for each visit, as well as detailed descriptions of what took place during the visits. Thank you, Annie!”
“This was our first time working with a pet sitter and Corinne was great! Our cat enjoyed the cuddles and getting to stay home instead of boarding. Would definitely recommend!”
“Ana was wonderful checking in on our two cats while we were out of town! Even our shy cat warmed up to her very quickly, which says a lot. She was extremely communicative, professional, and went above and beyond when an unexpected situation came up during one of her visits. Our cats clearly loved her, and we felt very comfortable knowing they were in good hands. We’ll definitely be working with Ana again!”
“Sun was so attentive and caring to my baby girl and was able to administer her medications easier than I usually do 😂 they also provided super detailed cards and took lots of pics 📸 overall. Had a wonderful experience and was able to vacation in peace ♥️”
“Lisa was awesome! Ferg has diabetes so it was important that I found someone who could inject insulin. Lisa handled this well as his glucose levels were still good when I returned. Both cats seemed very happy and calm when I got home, which tells me she gave them enough attention. She was very communicative throughout my time away and sent lots of pictures. Would highly recommend Lisa!”
About: I have loved cats for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I enjoyed spending time with the neighborhood cats and would often stop to gently pet friendly stray cats during my walks to and from school. Those early experiences helped me appreciate how unique, independent, and affectionate cats can be. I have since cared for cats belonging to friends and family, with most of my experience involving two-cat households. Through these visits and overnight stays, I have developed a strong understanding of cat body language and learned how to recognize when a cat wants affection, playtime, reassurance, or simply some space. I understand that cats can be cautious around new people and that each cat has its own personality, routine, and comfort level. I am patient and respectful while earning their trust, and I will follow your instructions carefully to help your cats feel safe and comfortable while you are away.
“Joshuah took great care of our cat with digestive issues, and became fast friends with our kinda standoffish girl within a day. Great communication, lots of pictures, we felt super at ease knowing she was in caring hands. 10/10 would rebook.”
“As always Maria is the BEST! Goes above and beyond. So kind and thoughtful and most of all my fur baby loves her. Makes me feel very comfortable while traveling as often as I have been lately! Highly recommend!”
“10/10 absolutely no complaints whatsoever. Came home to the happiest, calmest kitty that has ever been thanks to B. Normally when we come home Carson is very unhappy with us but this time he was calm and unbothered. Every day, twice a day, I received great, detailed updates with pictures of Carson playing and being the most enriched and spoiled baby there ever has been. Moving forward I won’t ask anyone else to care for my three animals besides Bito. I couldn’t have asked for a better, more caring person to care for my furry orange child. Even my plants got watered :’). Thank you SO much!”
“Asia took care of my cat Amora for a few days. I booked a little last minute, but communication was smooth the whole time. She sent me regular updates and was super understanding when I ran a bit late. My cat was in good hands, she’s a great sitter!”
“SJ was able to fill in for us last minute to watch out three kitties for the weekend (they also regularly check in on our doggy throughout the week). They are super responsive and easy to communicate with, very reliable, and take such good care of our pets. Would highly recommend!!!”
“Alexis was tremendous. He left thorough review cards, lots of pictures, and was very communicative throughout his drop-ins. He was very flexible through a home-alarm difficulty, was very sweet to our cats, and we cannot recommend him enough. Please consider utilizing Alexis for your home visits!”
“My cats loved Marissa! I have a cat that’s shy around ppl, and normally she hides in the corner and not come out until sitters are gone. But with Marissa, she was very active and seemed comfortable being around her. Marissa sends me photos at every visits and stays in touch very well. Would definitely rebook!”
“We were so lucky to meet Imani! She is absolutely the best. Our cat loved her from the first minute he met her. She is most responsible, knowledgeable, professional, kind, and sweet person. I was very nervous about how our cat would handle his first time away from us and she put my mind at ease and made us very comfortable. We are most grateful.”
“Courtney, did a wonderful job with our boys. We have a shy cat and he took right to her. She sent regular pictures and did regular check-in’s. We feel lucky to have found her. She made our vacation much less stressful. We will definitely use her again or you recommend everybody else use her except if we need her at that time. 😉”
“Essence was an absolute life saver! We decided to travel to Baltimore on a last minute trip and our puppy Luna hates being left alone in the hotel room. I contacted Essence after being turned down by 7-8 sitters and she was responsive and we set things up in a few minutes. She was great to work with andLuna had a nice time with her. She took her for 2 potty walks and fed her while we were gone for a few hours. When we return to Baltimore, I'll be calling Essence!”

About: Owner of one sweet large dog and two cats. More than 10 years of experience taking care of animals. Graduate student with flexible schedules and lots of love for many fur babies. My parents are with me right now so extra hands on deck and almost companion all day for your pets. I’m a graduate student with flexible schedules.

“Poppy gets excited to get to Crissy's house and enjoys her time with Dublin. Crissy is flexible on timing when I've bumped into conflicts, and adjusting recurring days.”
“Shannon is such a sweet person as well as she is very flexible and communicative. She has been available for us in a pinch, takes good care of our pup and sends photos and updates even during short stays. I’m so grateful to have found her!”
“Emily was amazing! We did a meet and greet a few days before hand and then on the actual day, my dog remembered her and was so excited to be back. I was worried because he’s a bit of a Velcro dog but Emily said he slept behind her while she worked and spent some time outside with her dog as well playing. 10/10, I will book Emily and Patrick next time I need a sitter.”
“I love Tiara! She was amazing with Queso. She was flexible with my times and very communicative and gave updates throughout the day with Queso. I would definitely use her help again and suggest Tiara for services to others. Thank you so much!”

“Being a travel nurse is sometimes a little more difficult with a dog, finding new dog sitters for George in a new city can be hard since I work 12 hour days. Veronica and Caleb have been extremely understanding and flexible with drop off and pick up times. They are great with communication and send updates/pictures of George frequently. I couldn’t have found better people to take care of him in Baltimore while I work. Extremely grateful for all they do!”

Your Fur Baby will be treated with Dignity, Respect as well as Your Home and have an awesome interactive experience with Me.

“Margaret did a wonderful job watching my girl, Macy, for daycare. She sends photos, and my dog is very happy to go with her. She comes home very tired. I'm just really happy to have someone give her more attention throughout the day versus a doggy daycare company.”
“My 4 month old puppy had another great day at Rey’s. He has fun playing with other dogs. I also love the great pics that Rey sends. He always comes home tired which is wonderful!”
About: My name is Bob, and I have been a dog owner for over 8 years, currently owning two energetic pups, Ellie and Watson! My wife works from home, so someone is almost always home, unless we all go ot in the evening! Our kids are 12 and over, and we all love spending time not only with our dogs(and cats!), but meeting new ones as well. Our rescue dogs, Ellie(18 month old female Australian Shepherd/Catahoula) and Watson(1 year old male Schnauzer/Terrier) enjoy spending time playing in the yard together when weather is nice, or horsing around together inside. They love socializing and playing at the dog park too, so having a 'play date' would be good fun for them! We have free access to water at all times, toys to play with, and healthy treats, if allowed by visiting pets' owners. Feedings for our dogs happen twice a day at 8 am and 5 pm; arrangements could be made regarding your pet's feeding needs, depending on time of day, and length of stay. Walks, playing, and lots of attention guaranteed! We can be flexible to meet your needs; please ask.
“Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic with our dog Lupin. She picked him and dropped him off every day which was such a help. He also adored playing with her puppy!”
“Daniel was wonderful with my puppy, Lestat! Lestat came home happy and tired from all the playing, which tells me he had an amazing time. This was his first time socializing up close with other animals, and Daniel made the experience awesome and comfortable for him. I truly appreciate Daniel and his wonderful fur babies for helping Lestat feel safe and welcome. I highly recommend him!”
“Hazel is a lucky dog to have spent her week with Catherine. She’s so caring and attentive, and lets the owners know how she is doing frequently. Thanks so much-hope she can visit again soon!”

“Sun has been great to work with, and I hope to continue to work with them this year. Fitz responds really well to them, and I can tell they care about taking care of my dog. Thank you so much for all that you do!”
About: I have loved and cared for animals for most of my life. I grew up with a large dog who was deeply loved and considered part of the family. Caring for him taught me how to recognize an animal’s needs, understand body language, and approach pets with patience, respect, and compassion through all stages of their lives. Since then, I have cared for dogs and cats belonging to friends and family through regular check-ins, weekend visits, week-long house-sitting stays, and week-long dog-sitting stays in my own home. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and may need time to feel comfortable with someone new or in a new environment. I am patient during that adjustment period and always do my best to maintain their normal routine and help them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I hold a bachelor’s degree in biology with a focus in ecology and marine biology. I also recently completed an internship with Zoo Miami in animal care, training, and husbandry. This experience strengthened my ability to observe animal behavior, respond appropriately to their needs, and communicate with animals using clear, consistent, and positive methods. I am new to the city and currently have full availability including last minute scheduling, and I am excited to build trusted relationships with local pet owners and their animals. Animal welfare is extremely important to me, and I would treat your pets with the same care, attention, and respect I would want for my own. I recently moved to the city and currently have a very flexible schedule. I am available throughout the day, seven days a week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. This flexibility allows me to accommodate check-ins, walks, overnight stays, and last-minute requests whenever possible. I care for every pet according to their usual routine, personality, and individual needs. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions provided by the owner, and I take time to help each pet feel safe and comfortable with me. In a client’s home, I am respectful of both the pet’s space and the home itself. I make sure doors, windows, gates, leashes, and carriers are secure, keep food and potentially harmful items out of reach, and leave the home clean and orderly. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment. I supervise pets closely, give them plenty of attention, and help them adjust patiently to the new surroundings. I understand that some animals need more time and space than others, so I always pay attention to their body language and comfort level.
“Ivan is the best! Our dog can be reactive and Ivan did a great job of being very patient and calm despite our dog being quite mean. Would highly recommend!”
“Bob and his son Bobby were the best! Completely reliable and capable. My dog, that I have trouble managing, was easily handled them. I am very impressed with the quality of this service and they are first on my list for the next time.”
“Lady was excellent - she has trouble entering our apartment due to a front desk error but she was in contact with me and so patient. I'm looking forward to her meeting Lexie in the future for a walk!”
“Wonderful dog walker and pet sitter and a true animal lover! She walked my high-energy beagle/hound twice a week for about six months and even took her running, which she loves! She sends pictures every time, which I really appreciate. And she would give my cat some snuggles and attention, too. I called on her last month to pet sit in my home for several days while I was traveling, and she was awesome. I felt great knowing the pets were getting a lot of attention while I was away, and again, the pictures! Sad to see her leave our area-- she is fantastic!”
About: I grew up in a home where we always had at least one dog, and I've been caring for dogs my entire life. As an adult, I cared for an elderly dog through his senior years, including managing his medical needs and ensuring his comfort during his final chapter. This taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to recognize subtle signs that a dog needs extra care or gentler handling. I've also regularly cared for friends' and neighbors' dogs over the years. I understand that every dog has their own personality—some are energetic and playful, others prefer calm, steady walks. I take time to learn what makes each dog comfortable and happy. For me, spending time with dogs isn't just a job—it's something I genuinely miss and enjoy. I'm reliable, observant, and will treat your dog with the same care and respect I gave my own. I work from home full-time during weekdays but have a flexible schedule that allows me to take on dog walking during mornings, evenings, and weekends. I'm looking for regular clients who need consistent care, whether that's daily walks, weekend visits, or occasional drop-ins. I live in the Hampden neighborhood in Baltimore and am happy to work with clients in my neighborhood. Walking is something I already enjoy and build into my day, so adding dog walks feels natural rather than squeezed in. I'm reliable about communication and will always let you know if my availability changes. For dog walking, I always ensure dogs are securely leashed before leaving the home and stay alert to their body language and the environment around us. I'm comfortable navigating busy sidewalks, parks, and quieter residential areas depending on what the dog prefers. I follow any specific instructions owners provide about routes, other dogs, or behavioral needs. If watching pets in their home, I'm respectful of the space, follow feeding and medication schedules carefully, and keep owners updated. I understand the responsibility of having someone's keys and entering their home, and I take that trust seriously.
“Maria has been great for me and my dogs. She immediately won them over during our meet and greet. She send regular updates and photos which are much appreciated while I’m gone. I can also tell she truly cares by the questions she asks regarding the dogs needs.”
About: I grew up always having at least one dog in the house. I have previously worked for a dog rescue, both as a volunteer dog walker and an employee (marketing, but we always had dogs around and I learned so much about their care!). I personally have had an amazing pit bull named Luna for 9 years - she is leash reactive so I also have experience dealing with hard-to-walk pups! I am a freelancer who works remotely and sets my own hours. I can work around your schedule and your pet’s needs to provide them care. I know that every dog is different and some need more specific care. I am here to follow your instructions and provide your pet care as if they were my own!
About: What sets me apart is my dedication to tailoring my services to meet the specific needs of each pet and owner. Whether it's training puppies with positive reinforcement techniques or providing gentle care for senior pets, I adapt my approach to ensure the best possible experience for both the animals and their human companions. Additionally, my commitment to clear communication and reliability ensures peace of mind for pet owners while they're away. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to accommodate your needs. we can discuss alternate arrangements to ensure your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. I'm committed to finding a schedule that works best for both you and your pets. As long as i know a week in advance to what you need as far as scheduling with me. In my client's home, I provide comprehensive pet care tailored to the specific needs of each animal. This includes feeding, fresh water , litter box maintenance for cats, and plenty of playtime and exercise. I also offer companionship and attention to ensure their emotional well-being. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment where they can feel at ease. This includes designated feeding areas, cozy sleeping spots, and ample opportunities for play and exploration. I adhere to any specific routines or instructions provided by the pet owner to ensure continuity of care. In both scenarios, I prioritize open communication with the pet owner, providing regular updates and addressing any concerns promptly.
“Our pup is in such good hands with Eva and her dad! They sent photos and a video from the walk, and our dog had a great time! We’ll definitely be scheduling more walks!”
About: Hi there, I’m Nayev! If it has fur, scales, or fins, I’ve probably cared for it and loved it. My background is a mix of professional animal work as a dog boarder, groomer, and daycare employee, rescue volunteer, and multi-species pet owner myself. Thus, absolutely nothing phases me. I’ve dealt with every behavioral issue under the sun, from intense separation anxiety to reactive dogs. More than anything, I just have a ton of love to give. I treat every pet like family and will keep you updated with plenty of photos and check-ins while you're away. I know this looks like a lot! But trust me, we can make it work. Mondays & Wednesdays: These are my high-availability days. I am home a ton or entirely all day, making them perfect for extra attention, long walks, and intense socialization. *Wednesday's I will have to step away from 5-8:30pm Tuesdays, Thursdays, & Fridays: I work structured hours, but your pet’s routine stays completely consistent. I provide a dedicated 7:00 AM morning check-in/potty break, a mid-day noon check-in/potty break, and full evening care starting right after 4:00 PM. *Only on Friday's I available right after 4. Tue/Thurs I will be available after 8:30pm with a possible quick check-in/potty-break between 4 and 5pm. Saturdays: Available for early morning care, brief midday work, and completely open for the rest of the day and night anytime after 12:00 PM. Sundays: Available for morning care, then completely open for the rest of the day and night anytime after 2:00 PM. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I make sure they have plenty of fresh water, food, exercise, bathroom breaks, and lots of love and attention. I always follow the owner’s instructions and stick to their normal routine as much as possible. I also make sure their space is clean, comfortable, and safe. Every pet is different, so I take the time to get to know their personality and what makes them feel happy and comfortable.
“She helped us out when we were in such a pinch! We had taken in an emergency foster and he was alone for the day. She responded before 8AM and was there by noon to walk the sweet boy!”
“Shynia and Bella bonded instantly. Shynia's soft spoken voice, reliability, mannerisms, consistency, and attention to details throughout the entire dogwalk schedule was a blessing. It is with great pleasure that I recommend Shynia for dog walks or any of you pet needs. I have been consistently impressed by Shynia's positive attitude, feedbacks (Rover card updates and verbal updates), and most of all Bella's happiness and comfort when she is with Shynia.”
About: Hi, please call me Jupiter :) Pets have been in my life since I was six, and in one way or another I've found myself responsible for the care of one since I was ten or so! Whether it be family, friends, or a stray - I adore animals! I pride myself in my approach to pets as I do with children: be firm, but respectful. Understand boundaries and do my best to read the situation with what information I'm given and what I can infer from there. Its always great to immediately bond with a furry friend, but all living beings deserve basic respect and compassion! I've met very few pets I didn't hit it off with, but even my great aunt's black cat, old and cranky as he is, let me feed him and exist nearby without claws (as is his M.O. with anyone who isn't his owner). Long story short, I adore all the fauna earth has to offer and make it my mission to successfully cohabitate at minimum, and a strong bond more often :) I now have a car again! I work 5p to 8p Monday, Tuesday and Friday, 12p-5p Sunday and 8a-8p Wednesday and Thursday! The day time hours are subject to change based on the gig but i'm always off Saturday and don't mind working you and your furry friend into my schedule! Overnights are fine though Id have to leave early on those 12 hour days - coming back after isn't an issue for longer stays! Drop ins are extra welcome at the moment :) While I cannot board, I take care to leave a home as I found it, if not better. I prioritize learning and writing specific safety and miscellaneous expectations for easy access, and default keep doors locked + my shoes off. I also think it's important to not disrupt set routines, so if a furry friend needs to be crated by a certain time, an alarm fifteen or twenty minutes prior is key to be timely and have grace if said pet may not love crate time.
“She is very responsive and my baby loves her! She has been a saving grace for me and Rivah's anxiety. I no longer worry if Rivah is oK while I am gone for lengthy periods of time. THANK YOU IMANI!!!”

Also had great communication and updates on him with very prompt responses. Will definitely book again. ✨️”
“Casey and Marwa were so great! After a thorough and thoughtful meet and greet, they watched my Lulu for the night while we moved. It was a great first experience leaving my pup with someone not family. They always make sure someone is home with the pups and sent lots of updates. Kevin was a total gentleman and Lulu was thrilled that he shared his favorite spots with her. Lulu can’t wait to go back in a few weeks and I can travel easy knowing she’s being taken such good care of!”
“Demetrius was absolutely amazing with Myra! From the beginning, he communicated frequently and kept me updated throughout her stay with videos and regular check-ins, which gave me so much peace of mind. Myra is a senior dog and requires a little extra patience and care, and Demetrius was incredibly patient, attentive, and understanding with her. I could tell she was comfortable and well cared for, and I truly appreciated the level of attention he gave her. I would absolutely trust Demetrius with Myra again and will definitely be booking with him in the future. I highly recommend him, especially if you have a senior dog who may need a little extra TLC. He’s amazing!”
“Liz is amazing! This was my first time leaving my dog with someone and I was nervous but she made everything so easy. She took such great care of my dog that I think he misses her now. We will be booking again in a few weeks ☺️☺️☺️”
“Hersh always enjoys his time with Rey. I love the daily pics to check in on my baby. Rey is awesome and was so understanding when my flight was changed TWICE!”
“Highly recommend Karla! Dodger was right at home! We loved Karla’s updates and photos, showing him having fun on neighborhood walks, eating his meal, and snuggling. Karla asked so many helpful questions to make sure that Dodger and she had everything they needed.”
“My dog and I love Kyra! She was responsive, kind and eager to meet all of my dog’s needs! He came home tired and happier than ever! Can’t wait to book her again!”
“Just picked up my pups from staying with Alex for the weekend. They had a great weekend playing with Reese. Alex sent us pics of them and they were so relaxed and happy. They look forward to staying again!!!”
“Keiwana and her gorgeous family took amazing care of our 4 month old puppy Rosie. They were so kind and patient - Rosie made more than a few mistakes but they were so understanding and graceful about it. Keiwana also sent us so many great pictures of Rosie throughout the weekend! Rosie made some new friends with their sweet dog Bailey and two little girls, and she didn’t want to leave when we came to get her! (but when we did get back home, she was so tired and napped like an angel). We would most definitely use them again (but maybe when Rosie’s older so their beautiful house doesn’t get any more puppy damage!!) Thank you SO MUCH to Keiwana & family!!”
“Cinco was well looked after and cared for! Donnell sent photos and communicated well, letting us know of Cinco’s well being. We have just found our new Rover for our senior pup :) thanks Donnell!!”
“Molly was an amazing sitter! Vienna is elderly with multiple medical problems, and Molly couldn’t have been more patient, understanding, and attentive regarding her needs. I felt so relaxed having her with Molly for her overnight stay and Vienna was so happy and comfortable with her stay. Thank you Molly!”
“Theo was simply amazing! He kept my two energetic babies for a full week and went above and beyond to communicate, give updates with pictures and make sure that they were well taken care of. I was able to travel out of state with compete peace of mind that my babies were safe and happy. I look forward to using Theo again for my next vacation and would recommend him 100% to others, Thank you Theo!”
