“Kaitlin and her family were fantastic with the dogs! First, she accommodated a last minute booking when my original plan fell through and accepted with a weeks notice and I am forever grateful. It was clear the dogs were in good hands with multiple updates and pictures each day, I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing they were well taken care of. They even came home with handmade bandanas! I would definitely book with Kaitlyn again knowing my dogs also had a great vacation at her home. Thanks again!”
“Mariah, Kyle and family took good care of our 10 yr. old Portuguese Water Dog during our week long family vacation. They treated him like he was part of the family and he enjoyed being around their dog and another one they were also boarding. Having a fenced in yard was perfect for playing and getting exercise. They were easy to communicate with and wonderful about giving regular updates and sending photos.”
About: Hi! We’re Natalie and Tim, and we have both had dogs our entire lives. Natalie worked at a Humane Society in college, and Tim fostered dogs (and was a “failed foster” parent) for many years before we moved to Maine with our two doggies, Penny & Willa. We spend lots of time taking our dogs and dogs who we sit for to local nature trails in Cumberland or enjoying fetch with the Chuck-It in our large backyard. Our home is kid-free, and we will treat your pups like our own! Tim works from home, and Natalie is a full-time graduate student with a flexible schedule. Your dogs will be home with either or both of us for the majority, if not the entire time! We have a large yard (1.5 acres) on a quiet street in a very dog-friendly neighborhood. Although our yard is not physically fenced, we do have an electric fence that could work for your dog if they are trained on this at your home! We are happy to crate your dogs - we’re even happy to have them in our bedroom and on the couch if they prefer!
“Rebecca was awesome!! You can tell she is an animal lover. Lucy had the best time with Rebecca during my vacation. Rebecca sent photo's so I could see what my puppy was up to. It was a hot day out and Rebecca brought Lucy and the other dogs inside to enjoy the AC while they rested. Lucy was so tired when she got home after a day of playing!”
“Nicolette was professional, attentive and a great dog sitter taking them on sniffventures, walks, dog parks, ect. Our pet had such a great time making new friends he didn't want to leave when we came to pick him up. We'll definitely be doing business with Nicolette in the future! Thank you so much Nicolette for being exactly what we and Odin wanted/needed, you're the best:)”
“Terry and Sheree took wonderful care of my kitty. They made sure he was comfortable and provided personalized care while I was away. I would absolutely trust and choose them to watch my cat again!”
“Clover had a great time at Chelsea’s with her family! She was there for nearly two weeks and was very well taken care of, and happy! Chelsea sent pictures and regular updates, gave her her monthly flea/tick, and was patient with Clover’s puppy antics 😂”
“I was very nervous leaving my fur baby for 6 nights but Christina was fantastic! She sent updates and pictures everyday which put me at ease. Haley had a great time playing with the other dogs. I highly recommend Christina”
“Breanna has been an absolute lifesaver! Her flexibility was quite remarkable. But, on to the dogs— she’s like a dog whisperer lol. My very difficult and reactive dog took to her immediately and my senior dog was comfortable as well. My dogs were well cared for, no doubt about it. I will definitely use her again.”
“Hannah was amazing with my senior dog, and she did not seem to mind my dog’s Velcro tendencies. :) Her property is beautiful with plenty of space for dogs to explore. Her dogs and cats are very friendly with other dogs, and I think they helped put my dog, who can be apprehensive in new places, at ease. My dog loved her stay with Hannah, and I know she will be excited to return for another vacation!”
“Stacy was awesome! We felt very comfortable leaving our Harry with her. She stayed connected with us through multiple pictures and comments throughout each day of his stay. Her photos reassured us that Harry was happy and safe. Stacy cared for him as if he were her own. We would definitely use Stacy’s services again and would highly recommend her. Thank you Stacy!”
“Kymberly and Robert always do such a great job with my Mala. Mala is 15 years old now and has stayed with them many times. She always knows when I pack her travel bag that she will get to vacation with them, and she gets so excited! Ours dogs are family, and it can be hard to leave them, but I never have any concerns whatever when I leave Mala with Kymberly and Robert. They are my trusted sitters!”
“Jessica and her family were lifesavers! They took our two dogs last minute and loved on them so well. They did such a good job of integrating our dogs and sending lots of pictures during their stay. Our dogs came back so happy.”
“Christina was amazing with our dog Winnie! It is very clear that Christina is a true animal lover. Winnie stayed with her for 7 nights at her home. This was the longest we have been away and Christina checked in regularly with pictures and updates. Winnie was able to go on a lot of puppy play dates and fun adventures with Christina. I highly recommend Christina - she is seriously awesome!”
“Alicia and her family are AMAZING! She kept our pup for 10 days while we were on vacation and Roux had the best time!! Communication with Alicia was great. We got pictures and updates regularly. I would highly, highly recommend her! ❤️”
“Jessica is fantastic. She was so good with our two pups for an overnight stay! She sent the best pictures, played with our pups with her children, and gave them a great place to stay for the night. Would highly recommend Jessica; and we will definitely not hesitate to send our dogs to her again!”
“Marissa was amazing with Fenway! She kept me updated all weekend with thoughtful messages and great pictures, which gave me total peace of mind. Fenway was clearly happy, comfortable, and having the best time in her care. He came home relaxed and it was obvious he was well taken care of. I really appreciated how responsive and attentive she was. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Natalie was very friendly and comfortable with Millie and her requirements. Safe environment and provided a report and photos during the stay. Will definitely book other stays for Millie with Natalie.”
“Craig did a great job of babysitting our dog Heiwa for two weeks. We received an update with pictures almost every day we were gone, including pictures of Heiwa romping on the beach with Craig and his dog Penny. I highly recommend him if you need a dog sitter. We will definitely use him again next time we need a sitter!”

“Eliot recently took care of my cat Sophie while I was gone for 10 days. This was the longest amount of time I've ever left Sophie, so I was a little nervous about how she would handle it. Eliot was a great comfort from the start. First, she has a kitty herself so I knew she would understand how to care for mine. Eliot is also super responsive, which is definitely a comforting quality in a pet sitter. I loved getting messages with pictures of Sophie while I was gone and seeing Sophie all curled up on Eliot's lap!”
“Richard was awesome! He was very responsive and took the time to learn about Ada and her anti-social ways. I didn’t worry a bit while I was away, knowing she was in good hands. Will definitely work with Richard again.”
“Lindsey took absolutely amazing care of our kitty. She checked in with us twice and day and was highly communicative about everything ranging from feeding schedule to the general mood/behaviors being exhibited from our feline daughter. We will 100% be using Lindsey in the future for our pet sitting needs, and you definitely should too! You can fully trust that Lindsey will take care of your pet and respect your living spaces.”
“I could not be happier with Cheyanne’s loving care of Leo the cat. He clearly took to her right away, which is impressive, as he usually takes a while. In addition to taking care of his needs, she spent time hanging out with him, playing, brushing, etc. It’s obvious that she has a real way with animals and loves caring for them. So glad to have found her!”
“Stephanie was so helpful by accommodating my last minute travel needs and allow us to bring our two cats to her place. She gave updates & kept in contact during the stay! I knew my cats were well taken care of”
“Kristina was wonderful! She took great care of Bowie, and he was happy and relaxed when we came home. Kristina was communicative and responsible, and left the house clean and tidy. We'd definitely book with her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of many kitties in my lifetime. Family members elderly sick cat all the way to many litters of kittens. Cubby was her name my grandma had her for 20+ years I stayed with her a week before she passed, caring for her, cleaning her even helping her go to the bathroom. I’ve helped deliver countless litters of kittens. I’ve been around cats my whole life.
“Brianna was an amazing sitter for our cats! We received detailed reports each day of the time spent with our cats. We will absolutely be booking Brianna again based on professionalism and care for our cats.”
“Jessica B was great. It was nice getting her pictures and notes about Gracie. She is dependable, great personality and very knowledgeable about cat care. Will definitely use Jessica again. It will be nice to leave Gracie home while Jessica visits her. Less worries for us. Thank you Jessica. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter.”
About: I have worked at a Veterinary Hospital for about 5 years, working to keep their experience as comfortable as possible, along with growing up with cats, dogs, and farm animals.I do work another job so for house/dog sitting I would be getting to the location usually between 6:30-7ish depending on location, so keep this in mind when considering booking me While I work full time my schedule is set so there will not be likely to have unexpected changes giving your animals a good structure to work with I can come to your location to let your dogs out/take them for a walk, as well as feed them and get in playtime while keeping them in a space they feel comfortable.
“I was so happy to find Jillian, as a sitter myself I have high standards and Jillian stepped up to the task. She followed all instructions left and sent detailed updates each day. Definitely felt at ease while I was on my trip, I came home to happy pups and a clean doggie room!! Highly recommend Jillian!!!”
“Amy is perfect. Our kitties liked her right away, she gave them lots of play time, and she was kind enough to take in a few packages and water our poor basil plant on the kitchen counter that we had forgotten about. Amy was also kind enough to share pictures every day we were away, and she clearly communicated her availability and timing for each day in advance. We are very happy and hope Amy will be able and willing to take care of our kittens again in the future (next time we're away). Thank you Amy!”
About: Cats have always been a special part of my animal-care experience. I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. From social and playful to shy and independent. I’m patient with cats who need time to warm up and respectful of those who prefer affection on their own terms. I’m also comfortable with feeding routines, litter box care, medications, and keeping a close eye on changes in behavior or appetite. My veterinary medicine experience gives me an added understanding of feline health and when something may need veterinary attention. 🐱❤️
“Anna is very communicative and kind when it comes to caring for Jethro. She does exactly as requested and cares deeply for the care of our best pal, Jethro. We love having her pet sit at night for us! She can be trusted with the safety of your home and pets.”
“Breanna is a life saver. We lost a sitter last minute and had to scramble, and she was there the next day for the meet & greet, prepared and taking notes and asking good questions. The Boys took to her immediately - she even got the shy one out on her 3rd visit. Good communication, great photos. Booking again right away!”
About: Greetings! I'm Daniel, I've been pet-sitting and dog-walking off and on for 17 years. I love animals: With me, you get a new friend for your pets, and a dependable steward of your home. I believe in the Hawaiian meaning of "Kahu," that we should be guardians and beloved attendants of our animal friends. I devote highly sensitive heart-centered care for your pets for two main reasons: 1) I am a remote worker as a writer and healing coach, so I can be at home with our furry friends. I am not just feeding and walking your dog(s) and caring for your cats; I am providing emotional support and plenty of care (frequent outdoor breaks and walks, playtime, pats, massage, energy work, etc.). 2) I am a professional in the practice of meditation and the healing arts, a path that cultivates empathy, which helps me bond with animals and be more attuned to their needs. I have been on this path for 17 years. I am highly intuitive. I practice Eastern techniques of energy work (qi qong and martial arts) and I am a certified Reiki practitioner, so I love to connect with animals as part of that practice (they are great conductors of energy, which is only ever healing and calming for them to experience). I aspire to the highest level of performance and etiquette. I promise to treat your pets and space as sacred; to maintain a clear boundary between me and your possessions; and to leave no trace. I understand that by inviting me into your home to care for your pets and space that I am with you as a new friend. From my many years of cultivation on my spiritual, healing, and professional path, I assure you my integrity is outstanding, and I would be happy to send you testimonies and references to confirm. Thank you for your trust. I would be happy to chat about sitting or walking for you. I look forward to joining you and yours' in friendship. Warm regards, Daniel I will be available to be at home with your pet for most of every day that I am sitting. My only obligation that takes me out of house are walking other dogs (1 to 3 hours per day) and then the occasional social or other engagement. I will never leave your pet alone for longer than 5 hours. As a remote worker, both for writing and offering healing/coaching services, I work from home and am therefore able to maintain a comforting presence for your pet and provide frequent outdoor time, play, and other care. I recognize the great trust that people grant me in caring for their homes and pets. Integrity is a guiding value of my life: You can rest assured that I will honor my commitment to care for your space and pets with the utmost attention and respect. I'll honor your instructions for being in your house and caring for your pets. I always live lightly, use no more than I need and am permitted to use, and I leave no trace. Thank you for your trust. Daniel

“My dog was very stressed from a long road trip/move and Eliot turned him back into his happy,goofy self after just a few days. I highly recommend her and will use her again if needed.”

About: Hi, I'm Kaitlin! I've been caring for pets for 20+ years. I currently have three dog-savvy indoor cats, two friendly (albeit loud) dogs, and I treat every pet I care for like my own. I have children in my home (ages range from 4 – 16) who have all grown up with both cats and dogs and are well versed in respecting their personal space. My husband and I both work from home during the week. I do hold office hours on Fridays, but my husband is home when I may not be so our home offers constant companionship for our guests. A few things that set my care apart: - Experience with crate training/trained dogs. I can offer support in your training journey if it is something you are working on with your dog. - While I do not currently have a fenced-in yard, I do live on a private dead-end road in a quiet neighborhood. We do not have heavy traffic and can walk for as long as necessary to tucker your pup out. I also have long leads (60ft) for outdoor play on our property. - Daily photo updates of your pet(s) if desired. - Experience with dogs of all ages. - If your pet prefers a calmer environment, my at-home work space provides a reprieve from the rest of the house while maintaining companionship. - Competitive rates and flexible scheduling. I can typically accommodate emergency requests, though Fridays can be tricky with my in-office hours. - Bonus: I also have experience with chickens and love all animals, barnyard or otherwise. I can accommodate check-in visits to refresh water and feed as long as instructions are provided. Please contact me to discuss alternative means of scheduling if this may interest you or you know someone looking for a short term homestead sitter. Your pet will always feel loved, safe, and comfortable while in my care. My husband and I both currently work from home Monday through Friday, with the occasional in-office day, and can provide constant supervision and attention to our guests. Your pet will never be left unattended for more than an hour or two, and crating them is an option if necessary. No dog is left unleased when outdoors; leashes and long lines are used for outdoor walks/play time. Guests are never left unattended and playtime is always supervised between our dogs and guests. Boarding guests are treated as family while staying with us and all areas of our home are open to them.
“Audrey watched our 3 month old puppy for the day and was absolutely wonderful! She sent us pictures and videos to show us how much fun he was having! He came home so happy and exhausted from all his playtime!! I would definitely recommend Audrey to anyone looking for a loving pet sitter in a safe home environment!”
“We are so grateful we found Craig to dog sit for our puppy Enzo. Enzo is a highly energetic dog who takes some time to warm up to strangers, however, he took no time to adjust to Craig. Craig kept us updated through out the day with pictures and videos. We could tell right away that Enzo was having an awesome time. When we picked up Enzo he was tired (from all the fun he had with Penny) and overall just calm and happy. We highly recommend Craig for doggy care!”
“I couldn’t recommend Stacy more. She took good care of Olive and I felt confident leaving her for the day. Olive was well exercised and she enjoyed making new friends with Stacy’s dogs. I will definitely come back!!”
“Christina was a life saver today last minute booking. She has a big area for the pups to play and kept me update all day long Mia came home happy and healthy. Will definitely use her again!!”

“My other sitter backed out last minute to watch my 10 week old puppy and Susan gladly took him on short notice. She did a great job watching him and kept me updated with pictures. My puppy would be happy to go there again and I would recommend her to others.”
“Stanley came home exhausted and happy. He was lucky to have the chance to play with other kids and dogs. This was an excellent opportunity for him to learn how interact with grouped dogs. Nicolette took great care to monitor his activity level and provided him many opportunities to get outside and explore. Her space is almost as incredible as her presence. We look forward to booking with her again.”

About: Recently moved to a cute farm house in Byfield. Great area for walking dogs. Dead end street with trails and brooks and reservoir close by.. I lLove to take my dog on hikes and walks on the beach. Have plenty of time to share my day with your pets. Can provide references from PA where I used to live. I have always owned dogs and cats and have no shame admitting my dog Charlie is my best friend. I would love to find a few regular customers who would like to meet up and make sure your and my dog like one another. I do like to have meet and greets at my house prior to accepting pet sitting or day care in my house. I believe I owe that to both your dog as well as mine. Hope you consider my services Thanks Missy Hello I’m an active person who loves to take dogs on long walks and hikes. Unfortunately my Dog is 13 and has slowed down drastically. I’ve loved animals since I’ve been a child and my dog Charlie is honestly my best friend.

“Thank you for taking care of Ramsay! Jaclyn took great care of Ramsay and was so communicative with us about how he was doing. She took beautiful photos of him too! Clearly loves animals. Anytime we are in the area we will book with you!”
“Marissa watched our dogs when we went skiing. We felt totally comfortable leaving them with her! They had a great time at her house and she sent us pictures of their day. She was incredibly nice and we will definitely reach out again!!”
“Robin was excellent!! She was very attentive and sent lots of pictures and videos. My pup has some quirks, especially with big dogs but Robin knew exactly how to introduce Steiny to her dog Stella. Stella was also clearly a pro at dealing with the smaller more neurotic fuzz balls lol. It looked like they were best buds by the end. Very much appreciated Robin accommodating my last minute request! Will definitely be reaching out again.”
About: We have always had pets in our home. Besides our own, we regularly watch our neighbors animals as well (dogs and cats). We recently had to say goodbye to our special needs dogs. So we have lots of experience and patience. Both my wife and I work from home so are very flexible with our schedule. This allows us to watch all ages of animals, allowing for frequent bio break and a flexible feeding schedule. We have a house full of love. With 2 adults and 2 teens/preteens your animal will get all the attention it deserves. We have a very accommodating house with a fenced in yard. Your animal is not limited in our house, we treat them like they are our own. We go on frequent outdoor activities. Hikes, walks, bike rides... Depending on your animals level of activity we would love for them to join us. We have experience with crate trained animals, as well as those that are more of the free range type. We recently had to say goodbye to our dog of 16years, and are looking to share our family with yours. We have a lot of experience with special needs dogs. So your companion will be in good hands.

About: Greetings! I'm Daniel, I've been pet-sitting and dog-walking off and on for 17 years. I love animals: With me, you get a new friend for your pets, and a dependable steward of your home. I believe in the Hawaiian meaning of "Kahu," that we should be guardians and beloved attendants of our animal friends. I devote highly sensitive heart-centered care for your pets for two main reasons: 1) I am a remote worker as a writer and healing coach, so I can be at home with our furry friends. I am not just feeding and walking your dog(s) and caring for your cats; I am providing emotional support and plenty of care (frequent outdoor breaks and walks, playtime, pats, massage, energy work, etc.). 2) I am a professional in the practice of meditation and the healing arts, a path that cultivates empathy, which helps me bond with animals and be more attuned to their needs. I have been on this path for 17 years. I am highly intuitive. I practice Eastern techniques of energy work (qi qong and martial arts) and I am a certified Reiki practitioner, so I love to connect with animals as part of that practice (they are great conductors of energy, which is only ever healing and calming for them to experience). I aspire to the highest level of performance and etiquette. I promise to treat your pets and space as sacred; to maintain a clear boundary between me and your possessions; and to leave no trace. I understand that by inviting me into your home to care for your pets and space that I am with you as a new friend. From my many years of cultivation on my spiritual, healing, and professional path, I assure you my integrity is outstanding, and I would be happy to send you testimonies and references to confirm. Thank you for your trust. I would be happy to chat about sitting or walking for you. I look forward to joining you and yours' in friendship. Warm regards, Daniel I will be available to be at home with your pet for most of every day that I am sitting. My only obligation that takes me out of house are walking other dogs (1 to 3 hours per day) and then the occasional social or other engagement. I will never leave your pet alone for longer than 5 hours. As a remote worker, both for writing and offering healing/coaching services, I work from home and am therefore able to maintain a comforting presence for your pet and provide frequent outdoor time, play, and other care. I recognize the great trust that people grant me in caring for their homes and pets. Integrity is a guiding value of my life: You can rest assured that I will honor my commitment to care for your space and pets with the utmost attention and respect. I'll honor your instructions for being in your house and caring for your pets. I always live lightly, use no more than I need and am permitted to use, and I leave no trace. Thank you for your trust. Daniel
About: I’ve been an animal lover for my whole life! I have experience with dogs of many sizes and breeds, cats, cows, and chickens. Walking dogs is one of my favorite things to do. I have worked for a dog walking company for the past 3 years. Also, I have worked on multiple farms where I’ve cared for farm animals and dogs/cats. I will care for your pet as if they were my own! I’m working a remote part-time job which leaves me with plenty of time to walk dogs throughout the day and in the evening. Additionally, I have a very flexible schedule on the weekends. If I am caring for your pet in your home I will make sure to follow whatever schedule you have for them. I will take them out to play often and give them lots of love.

“Kaitlin and her family were fantastic with the dogs! First, she accommodated a last minute booking when my original plan fell through and accepted with a weeks notice and I am forever grateful. It was clear the dogs were in good hands with multiple updates and pictures each day, I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing they were well taken care of. They even came home with handmade bandanas! I would definitely book with Kaitlyn again knowing my dogs also had a great vacation at her home. Thanks again!”
“Mariah, Kyle and family took good care of our 10 yr. old Portuguese Water Dog during our week long family vacation. They treated him like he was part of the family and he enjoyed being around their dog and another one they were also boarding. Having a fenced in yard was perfect for playing and getting exercise. They were easy to communicate with and wonderful about giving regular updates and sending photos.”
About: Hi! We’re Natalie and Tim, and we have both had dogs our entire lives. Natalie worked at a Humane Society in college, and Tim fostered dogs (and was a “failed foster” parent) for many years before we moved to Maine with our two doggies, Penny & Willa. We spend lots of time taking our dogs and dogs who we sit for to local nature trails in Cumberland or enjoying fetch with the Chuck-It in our large backyard. Our home is kid-free, and we will treat your pups like our own! Tim works from home, and Natalie is a full-time graduate student with a flexible schedule. Your dogs will be home with either or both of us for the majority, if not the entire time! We have a large yard (1.5 acres) on a quiet street in a very dog-friendly neighborhood. Although our yard is not physically fenced, we do have an electric fence that could work for your dog if they are trained on this at your home! We are happy to crate your dogs - we’re even happy to have them in our bedroom and on the couch if they prefer!
“Rebecca was awesome!! You can tell she is an animal lover. Lucy had the best time with Rebecca during my vacation. Rebecca sent photo's so I could see what my puppy was up to. It was a hot day out and Rebecca brought Lucy and the other dogs inside to enjoy the AC while they rested. Lucy was so tired when she got home after a day of playing!”
“Nicolette was professional, attentive and a great dog sitter taking them on sniffventures, walks, dog parks, ect. Our pet had such a great time making new friends he didn't want to leave when we came to pick him up. We'll definitely be doing business with Nicolette in the future! Thank you so much Nicolette for being exactly what we and Odin wanted/needed, you're the best:)”
“Terry and Sheree took wonderful care of my kitty. They made sure he was comfortable and provided personalized care while I was away. I would absolutely trust and choose them to watch my cat again!”
“Clover had a great time at Chelsea’s with her family! She was there for nearly two weeks and was very well taken care of, and happy! Chelsea sent pictures and regular updates, gave her her monthly flea/tick, and was patient with Clover’s puppy antics 😂”
“I was very nervous leaving my fur baby for 6 nights but Christina was fantastic! She sent updates and pictures everyday which put me at ease. Haley had a great time playing with the other dogs. I highly recommend Christina”
“Breanna has been an absolute lifesaver! Her flexibility was quite remarkable. But, on to the dogs— she’s like a dog whisperer lol. My very difficult and reactive dog took to her immediately and my senior dog was comfortable as well. My dogs were well cared for, no doubt about it. I will definitely use her again.”
“Hannah was amazing with my senior dog, and she did not seem to mind my dog’s Velcro tendencies. :) Her property is beautiful with plenty of space for dogs to explore. Her dogs and cats are very friendly with other dogs, and I think they helped put my dog, who can be apprehensive in new places, at ease. My dog loved her stay with Hannah, and I know she will be excited to return for another vacation!”
“Stacy was awesome! We felt very comfortable leaving our Harry with her. She stayed connected with us through multiple pictures and comments throughout each day of his stay. Her photos reassured us that Harry was happy and safe. Stacy cared for him as if he were her own. We would definitely use Stacy’s services again and would highly recommend her. Thank you Stacy!”
“Jessica and her family were lifesavers! They took our two dogs last minute and loved on them so well. They did such a good job of integrating our dogs and sending lots of pictures during their stay. Our dogs came back so happy.”
“Christina was amazing with our dog Winnie! It is very clear that Christina is a true animal lover. Winnie stayed with her for 7 nights at her home. This was the longest we have been away and Christina checked in regularly with pictures and updates. Winnie was able to go on a lot of puppy play dates and fun adventures with Christina. I highly recommend Christina - she is seriously awesome!”
“Alicia and her family are AMAZING! She kept our pup for 10 days while we were on vacation and Roux had the best time!! Communication with Alicia was great. We got pictures and updates regularly. I would highly, highly recommend her! ❤️”
“Marissa was amazing with Fenway! She kept me updated all weekend with thoughtful messages and great pictures, which gave me total peace of mind. Fenway was clearly happy, comfortable, and having the best time in her care. He came home relaxed and it was obvious he was well taken care of. I really appreciated how responsive and attentive she was. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Natalie was very friendly and comfortable with Millie and her requirements. Safe environment and provided a report and photos during the stay. Will definitely book other stays for Millie with Natalie.”
“Craig did a great job of babysitting our dog Heiwa for two weeks. We received an update with pictures almost every day we were gone, including pictures of Heiwa romping on the beach with Craig and his dog Penny. I highly recommend him if you need a dog sitter. We will definitely use him again next time we need a sitter!”
“Eliot was wonderful! She was so good with our dog and even gave me some great tips on a type of lead that might be more comfortable for our dog and still prevent her from pulling. We will definitely use Eliot again if the need arises.”
