“Khaila was amazing in every way. Great communicaiton. Met the dogs quickly after a request to ensure compatibility. Took amazing care of my two labradors, and kept me up to date on their daily activities, and is just a kind person. I would HIGHLY recommend booking her if you need help with your pets!”

“Ziggy was well cared for and came back happy after another great stay with Kyle and Kaleigh. There were highly responsive and flexible with drop off and pick up times, etc. highly recommend!”

“First of all, let me start by saying this couple is by far one of the nicest families I’ve met out here. Last minute booking and they welcomed my pup with open arms. Cassidy and Cody kept me up to snuff with day to day life while I was away and even sent pictures of them on adventures. They took great care of my pup and their sweet kids spoiled him with hourly cuddles and brushes so he came home looking like a million bucks. Thank you to the entire family for taking such great care of my boy. Aloha”

“Jaclyn is a fantastic person who loves the dogs she watches like they are her own. She was immediately welcoming and caring towards our dogs when we dropped them off. She also sent regular photo and video updates sharing what our dogs were up to. I could tell they were well cared for and treated like part of the family. 10/10. Would recommend to others and rebook for my own dogs.”


“I'm only hours home from my trip, but made it my first priority after unpacking to review my experience with Trisha and Dan, who "pet-sat" our dog Piper this weekend. Piper is attached at the hip to my wife. He was a dog that was found abandoned on the street, abused, and has a bit of what we think us PTSD. He gets VERY nervous if you are not right at his side, cannot stay alone, etc. Unfortunately my cousin suddenly passed away and were needed a dog sitter so we could attend services out of state. Very nervous that it would be hard on Piper to be without us, (and knowing we couldn't put him a kennel-type environment with his anxious personality), we spent hours on DogVacay looking for the perfect host. Trisha got back to us within minutes (talk about professional!). She was so awesome and detailed, and we knew right then that Piper would be in good hands. Piper stayed with Trish and her husband in their gorgeous home in a safe, quiet neighborhood (with a fenced in backyard) for 2 days, and they were excellent at communicating with his. They're such good people- so kind and friendly and love animals. Piper is now home (though I'm not sure he wants to be!) I've said jokingly "Piper- Do you want to go back to Trisha, Dan, and Stout's house?" and his ears perk up and the tail starts wagging. They are the best of the best, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. We are forever grateful to them for taking Piper on such short notice and taking such good care of him!”

“Carmen was incredibly attentive and good with goose! I came home to a happy cat and received many pictures throughout the stay - she also went above and beyond and cleaned her litter box completely, as well as her food dishes! Id absolutely book with Carmen again.”

“Kelly was wonderful with our dog Jimmy! She took him to the lake, and he had an absolute blast playing there. She kept us updated throughout the weekend, sending us updates with pictures and videos. He probably didn’t want to come home! We’ll definitely book Kelly again.”

“Austin, Francis, and the kids were amazing with our high energy shepard/beagle mix. They adjusted their schedules and came up with innovative ways to tire her out using the collective strength which is no small feat. I couldn’t imagine leaving Millie with any other family. Thank you again!!”

“We were lucky enough to find Heidi for our two dogs while we were in Portland for a weekend wedding. From the beginning Heidi was responsive and easy to book. She went above and beyond for our dogs during their stay with her. We were very nervous for one of our dogs who has developed new stranger reactivity and from the get go Heidi was calm, patient and kind, within 3 minutes they were best friends. She was also excellent with our other dog who is recovering from an injury. Needless to say we had an excellent experience and were able to truly enjoy our weekend knowing our pups were in good hands with Heidi.”

“Kseniia is flexible, responsive, and easy going. She sent pictures throughout the time I was gone and always got back to me right away. My dog was well taken care of and she made it easier to leave my dog for a few days. Would definitely use her services again!”

“Kimberly did an amazing job boarding Fenway for 6 days! She took such great care of him and gave me awesome updates throughout his stay, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Fenway was clearly well loved and comfortable with her. I would definitely book with her again!”

“Hannah and her family were really great at taking care of my pup! I really appreciate her communicativeness and her flexibility. I had no concerns while she was taking care of my dog and would absolutely use her again for future boarding needs!”

“Claudia and Jason were an absolute lifesaver. We needed a last minute sitter while visiting Maine and they came through. Drop off was a breeze and I knew Chase was in good hands. Regular updates including photos reassured myself and the kids that Chase was doing well. I can’t thank them enough and I can honestly attest that your dog is in good hands with them. I would absolutely without hesitation use them again if we’re in town.”

“Simon was so nice and welcoming, and my dogs seemed very happy. I got a bunch of pictures showing me how comfortable and at home my dogs felt from the first moment. We will certainly call Simon when we are in the area again!”

“Christina took great care of our dog! She provided fantastic photos and updates so we felt at ease. It’s clear how much she loves animals; highly recommend and will use her again in the future.”

“Abigail was so great with moose! She worked through a snafu with our keys seamlessly and cared for moose so well. We can’t thank her enough for taking care of our boy while we were gone for an evening. ❤️”


“third time using casey to watch my boys. she leaves wonderful notes and i even read one of my shy cats was playing when she was around which never happens unless they’re comfortable with the sitter. thank you again casey!!”


“Elizabeth was great! We met before the reservation to go over medication and feeding. Bing and Elizabeth got along great together. If I go away again, I will definitely try to book her again.”


“Amanda was great. She did a meet and greet which was great. She communicated when she visited our kitty and provided pictures and a video. We would definitely use Amanda again.”


“Lori was great. She was very communicative with us and sent pictures. And understanding of our cat who was shy. I definitely would hire Lori again to watch our cat thank you, Lori!”

“Faith has checked in on our two elderly cats on several occasions. She gives them food, water, and medication and cleans the litter boxes. Faith is reliable and easy to work with. We trust her in our home and to be kind to our girls, which is significant to us.”


“So glad to have booked with Eva! She put me to ease with her experience and quickly understanding my cat's needs (and knowing when he didn't want attention anymore). She took pictures and kept me posted while we were away. I'll be booking with Eva again!”

“Nishat and I are newly meeting for my cat, Stella’s care. So far I’ve been extremely impressed by her foresight and thorough job. I have also very much appreciated all the pictures along the way (: thank you so much Nishat!”


About: Having four cats at home myself as well as volunteering for an all-cat shelter, I still can’t seem to get enough of them! I pride myself in my ability to understand cat behavior, and have a deep interest in their enrichment needs, grooming, and nutrition. Additionally, my experience handling fractious and critically ill cats during my time as a vet tech assistant at an overnight emergency clinic, equipped me to navigate difficult feline behavior, medication administration, as well as identify signs of distress and sickness, which can be difficult to identify in cats.
“Kaden was great! I got many updates and pictures during our vacation. I felt comfortable with him watching our kitty who is on medication multiple times a day! Would definitely use him again and would recommend him!”


“Lee was amazing! On time every day and always gave a summary of each visit with photos of our two cats. Lee gave lots of attention to Sally and Charlotte and had no problem administering their medication. We will be booking with Lee again for our next vacation!”

“Isabella helped me out on short notice when my typical sitter became unavailable, and she was awesome. Reliable, experienced, friendly, and flexible with our schedule. Highly recommend!”

“Joanna was fantastic! She watched my cat while I was out of town and I came home to a very happy cat! Joanna sent updates regularly and was very professional. I'd definitely recommend making a booking with Joanna.”

“Vanessa is the first pet sitter we have tried since moving out of state and we feel very lucky we found her. She is very caring and loving and her house and yard are very well suited for safety and comfort. Both Princess and I felt comfortable after our meet and greet. Princess had an excellent day there with Vanessa and her pup Pepper who is a very sweet and good boy! I highly recommend Vanessa and will definitely be booking more stays with her!”

“Khaila provided amazing day care for my almost 2 year old cockapoo when I had a long work day. She was patient and gentle with him despite him being a nervous boy at first. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

“We left our sweet Bichon with Cassidy while attending a wedding nearby. We received a pic of him during the wedding and felt reassured. We picked him up to find him in fine form, having played and cuddled like he does at home. Recommend.”

“My husband and I were in town for a funeral and needed a quick and great person to watch our 5month old Husky. We booked her 2x, back to back days and she was so quick to make space for our baby and we really appreciate that! Amanda was super easy to work with and Koda was so happy to see her the 2nd time around he jumped out of the car and didn’t even look back. We also communicated throughout the day for updates and that was really appreciated as a first time puppy mama!”

“They were incredible... My dog is going through a shy phase and they couldn't have been kinder with him. They sent pics throughout the day and updates and the home and the yard were perfect for a dog to have a super fun day. These are seriously good people and we'll be using them again whenever we're in the area. The perfect family to leave your furry loved one with.”

“Bailey loves Kate. They played together and went on walks. I felt he was in good hands. I completely trusted her. Such a nice feeling to know your dog is both safe and happy.”

“Fantastic experience from start to finish. I was updated multiple times throughout the day and my dog was exhausted when she got home. Couldn’t have asked for anything better.”


“Janice is super sweet, and very attentive to all of my pups needs. She pays attention to detail, wants to be consistent with expectations, and really cares for dogs. She even washed out his puzzle feeding bowl! I will definitely contact Janice in the future for care.”

“Hannah was excellent. She responded to me quickly—very important when you have left your search til the last day. She was clear, always very nice, calming, and she checked to be sure that my dog, Frances, had a temperament which did not object to the presence of her, evidently mellow, two dogs and one cat—she was just very good at customer service. I felt very secure with my dog staying in her (and her husband’s) care. She (and they) obviously knows and cares for dogs. I had useful feedback from the visit (my dog was fine with her cat—(and dogs)—though she has had very little exposure to cats—so it appears vibes are what count with Frances. ) Hannah was friendly even when I changed my time plans on the actual day, oh-so-gently informing me she would definitely modify whenever she could, but she was dealing as well with other customers’ sometimes conflicting schedules. She was very good!”

About: I have always had dogs but am currently without one after my 16-year-old golden retriever passed away. I am comfortable working with dogs of all ages, and understand how their needs, routines and personalities change throughout their lives. I live in a quiet community with beach access a short walk away. If you have a pup that loves to swim, go on adventures or walks, or simply spend time outside, I would be a great fit. While your away, you can be sure they too are enjoying a mini vacation. I can work from home so your dog will not be lonely during the day. There are some days I may not be home all day, but I will be sure to give them plenty of exercise with time to run, play or swim in the mornings, afternoons and evenings. I also have a life jacket for those dogs who are not strong swimmers or who may want a little extra support in the water. I've not crated any of my dogs, but if you are more comfortable with crating, I can accommodate that if you bring yours. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have a small side yard, access to trails and a beach so they will get plenty of time outside.
“i would definitely book simon again! he was lovely and very accommodating. he gave a thorough report when i picked up my pet who came home calm and taken care of. i was also impressed by his own lovely, and nicely trained dog. that says a lot!”

“Seth and his family are truly so wonderful. He was a huge help to us out-of-towners who needed a place for our pup to hang out. Rudy has some separation anxiety and Seth was absolutely wonderful with him. He sent photos throughout the day and put our mind at ease. Would absolutely 100% recommend trusting him with your dog!!”


“Kiley was amazing! She took excellent care of my German shepherd who has separation anxiety. She sent lots of great photos and even sent him home with a toy he fell in love with. She was easy to communicate with and was extremely flexible with my schedule.”

“Lindsay is fantastic. She has been a lifesaver with our new pup. He always comes home happy and tired, and Lindsay always gives great updates so I know exactly how our pup has been throughout the day. I couldn’t recommend her more.”

“Sam is amazing! He is super knowledgeable and skilled. He is great with overly excited or anxious pups, and he was immediately able to help work on building our dog’s comfort and confidence out on walks. He also took her out on fun adventures when possible. We can’t recommend him enough!!”

About: I've had furry friends before I could even walk, beginning to volunteer at St Francis Animal Shelter when I was only 10, so I'm used to taking care of all kinds of cases. I'm a freelance software dev and couried with a very open schedule, so I find pet care helps me stay active and outside! I mostly have the days and weekends available. I always ensure that the animals I'm caring for have everything they need from a clean area to eat or rest in to a fulfilling play session where they need a nap after!
About: With a lifelong love for dogs, I've been a proud owner since the age of 8, consistently having three furry companions in my household. My extensive experience and genuine comfort around dogs make me a standout sitter. Working from home five days a week ensures constant companionship, while my boyfriend and I, avid beach walkers and home cooks, create a loving environment for your pets. I work from home full time, in a fully remote role. This means I’ll be around all day for bathroom breaks, snacks, walks and playing! My boyfriend, and roommate, is also working from home and is as much of a animal lover (if not more so) than I 😊 — We have a backyard that is fenced in and perfect for fetch or just hanging out outdoors. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of easy access parks and beaches in walkable areas from my home. I’m able to fit a crate in my space for any animal that may need that, but am happy to make the space as comfortable as possible for your pet with blankets / pillows, dog beds — you name it!
