“Steven provided comfort leaving our dog for the weekend. He was very generous with timely feedback and photos. He gave us instant feeling that our dog will be well taken care of.”
“This woman was AMAZING!!! She gave updates, and pictures daily. You can tell he enjoyed her just as much as she enjoyed him. She spent actual time with him. I’m sure that I have found my person. I will only be booking with her.”
“Casey and Marwa are the most accommodating and caring dog sitters, we have ever had. They do their best to keep with the routines that Indiana knows and then add extra long walks, treats, brushing, playing, and lots of love. Their Pug Kevin is so cute and friendly. On top of that, they are super-flexible with drop off and pick up times and took Indy in on very short notice. Will definitely be back”
“Wonderful person and family. Provided lots of pics to ease my mind because this was our first time. Allowed us to do a meet and greet the day before and was so accommodating to his allergy needs. Will definitely use again.”
“I’m so happy that I chose Rodney! Jaxson was well taken care of while I was on vacation. They even sent pics of him daily which really helped me to relax and enjoy my trip. I plan on this being my permit sitter moving forward!”
“Great service, as usual. We have used Diana on many occasions for short and long term (three weeks plus) stays and feel very comfortable leaving our four legged family member in her hands. When we drop the dog off he is so excited, it's his second home. She is always our number 1 goto for ROVER needs. Highly recommend. Garnett, Jackie & Andy”
“Ruth and her family welcomed my dog into their home and instantly treated him like family. The communication and photos were beyond expectations and reassured that my dog was well cared for and loved. I am so appreciative for the care my dog received and will definitely be using Ruth again in the future.”
“Alex took great care of my Mini Aussie Tango these last several days, including timely communication and updates! His place with the large enclosed grass yard was perfect for Tango to get her energy out. She really enjoyed her time with Alex’s dog Reese and came home happy and exhausted!”
“Felice and her family took great care of Ollie and she kept me posted every day with photos and comments of how he was doing. I felt that he was being treated like a member of the family and he was very happy (and tired!) when we brought him home. Ollie looks forward to his next visit. Thank you, Felice!”
“Erika is wonderful!!!! "I can’t recommend her enough! From the moment I booked, communication was excellent — quick responses, regular updates, and the sweetest photo check-ins. My Ocean always comes home happy! I can always tell she is cared for like family. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pet was safe, happy, and well taken care of. Not our 1st time, and definitely not the last!!”
“Kassandra and her little guy took amazing care of my fur baby, Jax. From the photos, I could tell he was super comfortable and happy with them. She kept me updated every day with pictures and little check-ins about how he was doing, which I really appreciated. I truly can’t thank her enough! If you’re thinking about booking or even just browsing, DO IT. You won’t regret it!”
“This was our second time booking and Jessica was once again AMAZING with our Chance. He loves her and vice versa! We will always leave our fur baby with her.”
“Our dog Neko has had many stays with Shannon and her family and is truly excited to spend time there and be treated like one of the family. Shannon is wonderful, is super easy to work with and very communicative while we’re away so we know our pup is doing well.”
“Aida was a great sitter for my pup. She was very communicative with me and very attentive towards him. I was able to have peace of mind while on vacation as I was updated with pics and activities throughout each day I was gone. I highly recommend Aida for any of your dog sitting needs.”
“We had a great experience with Julia & Jacob. They took such s wonderful care of our dog while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind to receive regular updates, pictures, and videos — it was clear our dog was happy, safe, and well-loved. Communication was easy, and everything went smoothly. They truly went above and beyond by picking up and dropping off our dog, which made everything so much easier for us. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!”
“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!”
“Ashley was so understanding of the issues I faced the morning of our arrangement. I had listened to my phone in the park while I was walking jojo. I didn’t have directions printed so I had to rely on memory but couldn’t find her house. I went back to my computer and messaged her and she calmly accepted the delay. She is great with Jojo and had her out on walks as well as sleeping happily.”
“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.”
“Chris took wonderful care of our Zoe. From the initial meet and greet Zoe felt at ease with Chris which continued during her stay. Communication was outstanding and put us at ease with leaving our fur baby for a few days. Thanks Chris.”

About: I’ve cared for cats for many years and understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m patient with shy or nervous cats and know that some want lots of attention while others need space. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, cuddles, and special instructions. I’ll treat your cat like family, keep their routine consistent, and send you updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
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!
“Kaitlin dropped in on our cat daily while we were away. She communicated frequently to let us know when she would be coming and sent photos. She even went back to see our cat a second time on the first day because she didn’t realize there was a check in feature. We will definitely be using Kaitlin next time!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals and have been working with pets since I was 14. I’m passionate about helping animals and have experience supporting injured animals by getting them to rescues or helping care for them until they could receive proper support. I also have a dog named Oliver, who I adopted from a shelter 8 years ago, which has strengthened my patience and commitment to creating a calm, safe environment for pets. im full time in school at towson but my schedule is pretty flexible:) especially on the weekends or after or before classes im available completely I tend to be very cautious about who watches my dog because I care about him deeply and know he has a unique personality. Because of that, I’m always happy to follow any rules, preferences, or routines that help someone feel more comfortable. I truly understand how hard it can be to trust others with our fur babies, and I’m willing to go above and beyond to help create a safe, comfortable environment.
“Christine did an outstanding job caring for my two fur babies. She ensured they always had food and clean litter and consistently provided photos as promised on the scheduled dates and times throughout the week. I highly recommend her services for reliable and attentive pet care.”
“Truly outstanding! We know our cats are in the very best hands anytime we have to go out of town. Bito always goes above and beyond. Thank you Bito!!”
“Haile responded on very short notice and was great with my cat, Joseph. She sent photos and updates which made me feel very comfortable and gave me peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her to anybody looking for a sitter.”
“Chelsea was responsive, reliable, and took excellent care of my two cats, including a cat that requires insulin injections every 12 hours. She also takes very good pictures! I looked forward to the photos from her check-ins and appreciated her willingness to see my babies twice a day over the holidays.”
“Erika was wonderful with my two kitties! They were going through a finicky stage so I had to transition them to a raw diet which was a bit detailed. Erika followed everything to the letter! I love that she sent me daily photos. It was very much appreciated! Thank you Erika for giving the love and care ❤️”
“Olivia did a great job taking care of our cat for a week while we were away. She provided detailed communication and sent lots of pictures :) I would definitely use her services again in the future !”
About: As a former dog owner, I’ve played a crucial role in nurturing our furry friends. Meeting all essential needs- and more- I have skills in training, caring for, and loving animals as they deserve. Coming from a pet-loving family, my experience dates back to my formative years. I am a graduate student and therapist, with enough flexibility and autonomy within my schedule to treat your pet with TLC! Thursdays-Mondays are my most flexible times, depending upon the service requested. Let’s chat and figure out what works best so your pet is cared for when you are away. I live in a pet-friendly community with ample outdoor space to go on walks. The phrase, mi casa es su casa, applies to all of my guests - even my 4-legged friends. Your pet is allowed to enjoy the space fully, and can also be crated per the owner’s request based on the dog’s usual routines.
About: I have watched cats before and have loved getting to meet them! I have helped feed cats while their owners have been away. I would love to get to meet your fluffy friend and take care of them, whether it’s just stopping by to put out their food and change their little box or stay with them overnight.
“This was our first time having Susan for drop in visits for our senior cats, Olivia & Teacup, and we’ll definitely be rebooking! One of our cats is diabetic, so I always want the best care for her when we are away. Susan had never administered insulin before but was happy to learn and did great. She gave me thorough updates on them and plenty of photos. I felt like we left our babes in great, thoughtful hands!”
About: Hello Dog Parents! My name is Nima. My wife and I, along with our 9 -year-old pug Roscoe, moved to Baltimore from Oklahoma about 1.5 years ago. I love all dogs and have fostered and sited many dogs from different breeds and ages over the years. I have also volunteered for many local shelters back in Oklahoma and enjoyed every second of the time that I spent with their dogs. Luckily, Roscoe has always been supportive of me taking care of other dogs and sometimes he has even tried to help out by playing with our furry guests and keeping them entertained. He is indeed the goodest boy and I'm very proud of him. I look forward to meeting your dogs and spending time with them.
“Stephanie took amazing care of my cat! Not only did she make sure he had food/ water/ clean litterbox, she also hung out with him a bit and gave him love. Will definitely use her again!”

About: We have watched pets for many years and love to welcome furry friends into our family. We tend to shower them with a great deal of attention & TLC! 🫶 My spouse is home during the day and once our kids get home from school, your pet will enjoy even more love, playtime, and social interaction from our whole family. We offer supervision throughout the day, follow your pet’s feeding schedule, provide daily walks through our quiet neighborhood, and offer a cozy, clean indoor environment with plenty of love, play, and rest. Your pet becomes part of the family while they’re here.
“Kassandra was absolutely magnificent! Super kind, caring, and incredibly gentle with Chloe. I’m beyond grateful for the thoughtful, detailed care she provided. She’s truly a wonderful human, and Chloe already adores her. Thank you so much!”
About: 13 years of caring for animals has taught me that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments and understand how important it is to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, playful, and dependable, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, medication, potty, and bedtime routines so they experience as little disruption as possible. I’m available for pet care Monday through Thursday from 5:00–6:30 AM and 6:00PM–10:00 PM, with full-day availability Friday through Sunday. I work close to home, so pets staying with me can receive a lunch-break check-in during my workdays. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine and provide dependable, loving care. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and any special instructions before providing care. I’m attentive during walks and visits, keep pets supervised, and follow your instructions carefully. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your fur baby is doing. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in caring, responsible hands.
“My pup, Yumi, had a great time with Melanie and her pup. It was our first time doing a daycare service with Yumi but Melanie was very attentive and sweet to my Yumi. She was also very accommodating when my schedule had to change a bit as well and i greatly appreciate that. I felt comfortable and safe leaving Mr fur baby in her hands and would definitely book again in the future.”
“Cashadena loves Victoria and is always eager to see her! Great yard space for the pups and very helpful, non judgmental support during a really difficult time for us.”
“WOW! We emailed Shannon at the last moment because we were passing through Baltimore (on our way up to Canada) and needed a place for our dog to go for a few hours while we checked out the Aquarium. Shannon was incredibly kind and helpful, and even took our dog on a long walk through the woods to make sure he was good and tired for our long car ride that afternoon. When we pass back through, she is our first call!”
“Carolina was amazing with our 12 week old puppy AND communicating with us. Lots of updates and pics and our pup came back very happy. Also very flexible with our schedule which was awesome. Will definitely be asking her to watch our pup again!”
About: I have over 10 years of experience as a pet sitter. I help watch my uncles 11 yo husky and my sisters 3 yo GS. I love dogs and cats. I love walks and jogs, I am a very active person. I work FT as a paralegal but my work schedule is very flexible and dogs can hangout at the office. It is a beautiful space in Clipper Mill in the Hampden area. I am in law school as well but I am very flexible overall. I have many referrals if needed upon request. I can host them in Roland Park where we have a nice fenced yard or at my apartment in Mt. Vernon. I work hybrid as a paralegal and have a very flexible job that allows me to be available for even last minute bookings. I am free most of the day and will work around client's schedules. I love to snuggle with pets, I love walks, I love playing with them, I love welcoming them into my home, I love different breeds, ages and sizes.
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. I enjoy playing and walking with animals for relaxation. I live in a neighborhood that’s very great for dog walking. I have a fenced yard, very friendly dog and cats. Enough space indoors for playing too. I have a car hammock for dog to sit comfortably in the back seat and seatbelt for them, if we need to go take a ride.
“I was happy to have someone that loves dogs and treated my baby like it was her own. I appreciated the pics and the great care Davida provided. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs their dog taken care of in a nice and safe home. Thank you so much.”
“Keith was amazing - I had another dog sitter arranged, but she did not answer when I arrived. I had to scramble for an alternate, and Keith was there for me. We will be using him from here on out. Truly fantastic!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I currently have a 3-year-old American Bully, so I’m very comfortable with high-energy dogs and understand the importance of regular exercise, playtime, structure, and attention. Whether your dog loves to run around, go on walks, play fetch, or simply relax, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me. I’m equally happy caring for energetic pups, calm companions, and dogs that are still learning and building confidence. I have plenty of space for dogs to be comfortable, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is in a safe, attentive, and caring environment until it’s time for them to head home. I currently work from home and have plenty of time and availability to ensure clients get the care they deserve. As well as the availability to always take new clients. Pets at this home get 3-4 potty breaks a day depending on age. For the most part I let them roam around in their own areas. However, if there is a full house, the dogs will be secluded to their individual areas and brought out for individual playtime 1 at a time to prevent spats or incidents between pets. Dogs will get atleast 2 hours of playtime and a good long walk (2 if high energy). Dogs are feed according to their schedules (twice a day if not provided).
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 2. I have looked after dogs, cats, and guinea pigs of various ages since 12. I love caring for pets and have a dog of my own! I also volunteer at animal shelters when I have the chance. I’m working part time so I will have plenty of time to play with your pet! During summer I will especially have loads of availability. I have a crate trained dog who is very friendly and can keep your pet company. I have a spacious apartment but am flexible to take care of your pet wherever!
“I have used other dog sitters for Zion in the past but Rodney and wife are excellent sitters. They meet all of my dog caring needs from last minutes requests to I'm running alittle late. If wasn't for them I don't know what I would have done with Zion I like to say because of them I'm keeping Zion.”
About: I am a fun loving , energetic, and sweet woman. I love animals with all my heart and have always wanted to work with them since I was young. My dream job is to become a marine biologist or a veterinarian. I have had many animals in my lifetime and my absolute favorite are dogs and cats but every animal has a spot in my heart. I’m so interested in learning different things about them when it comes to their distinctive personalities and how warm they make your heart feel. I would be a great fit for any family looking for a home sitter or even just walks. I will make sure your dog child is safe and sound. I hope to meet you one day soon. I currently work as needed so I am available for your pup 24/7. I put your pets needs before my own to maintain a safe and healthy time together. I care for every pet like they’re part of the family! 🐾 In my home, I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of playtime, potty breaks, attention, and downtime based on each pet’s normal routine. I follow all feeding, medication, crate, and care instructions provided by the owner. For drop-ins or care in a client’s home, I respect their pet’s familiar routine and space while making sure they receive lots of love, attention, and updates while their family is away.

About: Throughout my life, I have cared for goats, cats (old and young), dogs (big and small), chickens, rabbits, and different kinds of rodents. I love all animals and treat other people's pets as if they were my own. I am experienced in administering oral medications, working with difficult walkers, and caring for anxious animals. I have one cat and one dog right now! I currently work remotely, so I am able to design my schedule around your pets' needs. I believe that pets thrive with a consistent schedule and will do my best to stick to your pets' schedule. All pets have social needs and activity needs. As a dog sitter, I will not just take your dog out for potty walks, but we will also go for sniff adventures, play fetch, and more. As a cat sitter, I provide as much attention as your cat is interested in. We can sit on the couch and cuddle or admire each other from a distance.
“Kaitlin arrived on time, took our dog out in this frosty weather and managed to get Bentley moving despite the snow and ice. She is very friendly, responsible and conscientious- I felt comfortable when I first met her and I’m very happy with the quality of her work.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 5 years of age and have grown up with various pets. I am super interactive with pets and enjoy entertaining them as well as building a strong bond with them! I am open five days a week Monday-Friday! I am flexible since I do have pretty open availability and communicative. I am also open to any suggestions from owners I have a fenced yard but I do not currently own any pets of my own. I ensure the environment I live in is nothing but safe, quiet and comforting for all
“Bronte provided pictures & detailed information about her walks with Jade. I can tell that Jade really enjoyed being out with Bronte & that reassured me that I made the perfect choice by selecting her. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Growing up on a ranch, I cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, horses, and exotic animals—so very little surprises me! 😊 Pet sitting was actually my first neighborhood “business” as a kid, which tells you this has always been more passion than side gig. Being away from home for school these past few years, I’ve dearly missed caring for animals— so this is my way of staying connected to something I love. I’m a naturally curious person and take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routines so I can give them attentive, enriching care while you’re away. 😊 I’ll be working remotely for the foreseeable future, which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet care naturally into my day. I can accommodate different feeding and walking schedules, playtime, medication, check-ins, and plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. Since my work travels with me, I’m also flexible with longer stays and can be around much more than someone working outside the home. I know how important it is to trust someone not only with your pet, but with your home. I take both seriously and will follow your instructions and your pet’s usual routine closely. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and always prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and secure. I’m also more than happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away😊
About: I have owned my own kitties for 15+ years. I have also fostered medical and special needs cats and dogs for 3 years as well. I will love your babies like my own! I am currently not working so I am available full time. I do require 1 days notice for bookings and 1 day cancellation. However, please feel free to contact me to discuss specific times and details. I have a big 2 bedroom condo and 2 kitties who love other animals! I am also able to follow any crating instructions your pet may require.
About: Hi, I’m Olivia! With a background in behavioral work and trauma-informed care, I bring a uniquely calming, intuitive presence to the animals I support. I’ve spent years caring for pets in my personal life and community—everything from energetic puppies to gentle seniors—always with patience, respect, and a deep understanding of their emotional world. As a Registered Behavior Technician and Somatic Trauma-Informed Practitioner for both people and animals, I’m attuned to body language, stress signals, and what helps animals feel safe. I specialize in: -Structure, positive reinforcement, routine-building -Senior support (slow walks, mobility assistance, medication reminders, extra gentleness) -Anxious or shy pets who benefit from a calm, regulated, grounded human -Consistent routines that help pets feel secure when their humans are away My care style is warm, grounded, and attentive. I take the time to understand each animal’s personality, needs, and comfort level. Your pet will get affection, enrichment, mindful walks, and a nurturing presence, not just supervision. I’d love to care for your furry family member as if they were my own. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to accommodate drop-ins, feeding schedules, and quality time with your pets. I’m available on weekends as well, and I genuinely enjoy building my days around caring for animals. Whether it’s morning check-ins, afternoon playtime, or evening wind-down visits, I can easily adjust my schedule to meet your cat’s needs and keep their routine consistent and comforting. When caring for pets, my top priority is creating a safe, comfortable, and predictable environment where they feel secure and loved. Whether in their home or mine, I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routines, and preferences so that care is tailored to their individual needs. My home is a two-level row home with a park nearby and lots of greenery, where they are free to roam. I ensure food and water are fresh, spaces are clean, and doors or gates are secure at all times. I’m attentive to subtle changes in behavior—energy levels, eating habits, or signs of stress—and will communicate promptly with the owner if anything seems off. Above all, I treat every pet like a beloved family member, and I keep owners updated with notes and photos so they feel confident and at ease while away.
About: I'm honest, ethical, and moral and seek to be in service to the beautiful animal kingdom who don't have a voice, relying on us for loving care to always keep them safe. I have the experience of raising animals of my own, as well as a child, and so I believe my age and experiences sets me apart from others. I'm currently otherwise not employed. Dog walking is where my attention and energy will be directed. I'm very flexible in my routine in this way. I will care for your animals in the same loving way I care for my own. I will see that they're not just walked, but given the love and attention you would provide them with.

I tailor my approach to each dog’s needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy.

I’m available before work, throughout the day, and after my shift, and I’m off every Tuesday through Thursday, giving me even more flexibility for walks, daycare, overnight stays, or extended visits. I also offer cat sitting and have experience caring for cats of all personalities, from playful and social to shy or senior cats, and I’m happy to accommodate special routines, medications, and individual care needs. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable, attentive care and make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I have an extremely dog friendly neighborhood. Although I live in an apartment I live right next to multiple parks! Making it easy to take dogs on long or short walks!
About: I’ve been loving & caring for animals longer than I can remember. They are my first love & my passion is to make sure they know how loved & appreciated they are. I currently have a 10 year old rescue that can no longer keep up with my active lifestyle so I’m available to take your dog hiking to the Dunes or Starved Rock, weather permitting, or just jog around the neighborhood. I have been in the medical field for 22 years; elderly dogs are welcomed as well. I’ve trained along side a couple of my dogs over the years & I use standard commands & rewards. All animals deserve to know that their existence is priority to us! I look forward to sharing my love with your furry family member! I work from home & am available most any time throughout the day if I’m not in meetings. I love the outdoors & am prepared to be out there year round. I will care for your dog at your home. If there is a need outside your home please let me know far enough in advance for me to make arrangements.

“Casey and Marwa are the most accommodating and caring dog sitters, we have ever had. They do their best to keep with the routines that Indiana knows and then add extra long walks, treats, brushing, playing, and lots of love. Their Pug Kevin is so cute and friendly.

“Ruth and her family welcomed my dog into their home and instantly treated him like family. The communication and photos were beyond expectations and reassured that my dog was well cared for and loved. I am so appreciative for the care my dog received and will definitely be using Ruth again in the future.”
“Alex took great care of my Mini Aussie Tango these last several days, including timely communication and updates! His place with the large enclosed grass yard was perfect for Tango to get her energy out. She really enjoyed her time with Alex’s dog Reese and came home happy and exhausted!”
“Erika is wonderful!!!! "I can’t recommend her enough! From the moment I booked, communication was excellent — quick responses, regular updates, and the sweetest photo check-ins. My Ocean always comes home happy! I can always tell she is cared for like family. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pet was safe, happy, and well taken care of. Not our 1st time, and definitely not the last!!”
“Our dog Neko has had many stays with Shannon and her family and is truly excited to spend time there and be treated like one of the family. Shannon is wonderful, is super easy to work with and very communicative while we’re away so we know our pup is doing well.”
“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!”
“Ashley was so understanding of the issues I faced the morning of our arrangement. I had listened to my phone in the park while I was walking jojo. I didn’t have directions printed so I had to rely on memory but couldn’t find her house. I went back to my computer and messaged her and she calmly accepted the delay. She is great with Jojo and had her out on walks as well as sleeping happily.”
“Chris took wonderful care of our Zoe. From the initial meet and greet Zoe felt at ease with Chris which continued during her stay. Communication was outstanding and put us at ease with leaving our fur baby for a few days. Thanks Chris.”
“Melissa is very attentive and accommodating. I can tell Zelda is very comfortable with Melissa and her pups. She immediately starts playing and doesn't seem anxious at all. Thanks, Melissa!”
“Victoria was great! She was very quick to respond and gave us updates on the dogs. Our dogs had a great time staying with her and would certainly recommend her for dog sitting!”
“Virginia and her family are lovely. She took such great care of my Macks. It feels so good to get away and know that my girl is also getting a vacation. She had so much fun with Virginia's dogs and her family. I will be excited to book my next trip knowing I can leave my girl in such good hands.”
“Fatty had the absolute best time staying with her family. He was showered with affection, got tons of cuddles, and even got treated to pup cups. He loved them so much and we are so happy he has an open invitation to return anytime. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love their dog like family!”
“Kyra was fantastic— she boarded my dog Bruno for me for 13 days, and I would 100% recommend her. She sent updates and pictures throughout my trip, and I could tell my dog was happy and healthy when I got back. Her dog Karma was also so sweet and gentle with my dog. Definitely will use Kyra’s services in the future if needed!”
“Casey is usually too nervous to eat when at a new persons house, but she was comfortable enough to eat at Marina's. That's a huge testament to Marina :)”
“I like the fact that Princess felt right at home with Cheryl and her family... I will be using Cheryl for my upcoming trips!!!! Hopefully she will not be booked lol!!!!”
“Shruti was super patient with Flora, and provided plenty of updates and photos without me having to ask. I will definitely be asking her to keep Flora again!”
