“Christina was great! My 2 typically take a while to settle in and can sometimes not eat for up to 24 hrs, but they both felt comfortable enough to eat the first night! That’s a huge win and shows how relaxed and calming her and the other dogs were. I will definitely book again for our next trip.”
“Marissa was fantastic! She went above and beyond for our dogs and took such good care of them. She sent photos every day. She took them for walks and swims and gave them extra love and the best care. She was extremely responsive, and I would give her 10 stars if I could! I hope to use her again in the future!”
“Once again, SO HAPPY with Charles and Christina!!! Our dog just had a long stay, 5 nights and 6 days, and we received updates daily! And most important, she LOVES it there. They treat her like their own when she is there! WE COULDN'T BE MORE PLEASED!! Thank you Charles and Christina!”
“Timber clearly had a great time with Nikki!. Nikki was very communicative and understood when last minute changes happened, i got lots of photos of Timber playing with other dogs and kids. I would definitely recommend Nikki and will be using her in the future”
“This is our second time boarding Curt with Chelsea. She took very good care of him while we were on vacation and sent pictures and updates on how he was doing. Would highly recommend her anytime!”
“Alyx was great. She was very flexible and accommodating (we needed to ch age drop off time after making the booking and she was great about it). She took Bret care of our pupper. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Marlo's stay with Anna Julia was excellent. She took great care of our Marlo, took him for walks, was very responsive and sent me photos of our happy camper. We will definitely consider booking more stays with Anna Julia in the future.”
“Sarah was amazing with Tank. We were worried as he shows some early signs of anxiety and guarding and had never been left anywhere overnight before, but he took well to Sarah and her family. She was stern in helping him learn how to behave and helped give us tips as well on how we can continue to train him! She was easy to talk to and gave great feedback daily on his wellbeing and growth. We will definitely be rebooking with Sarah again!”
“Craig was so great with our hyper, anxious dog! He sent regular updates and photos and was very flexible when our travel plans changed at the last minute. His own dog is so calm, and was so sweet with ours as well. I highly recommend Craig—your dog will be in very good hands with him!”
About: I have a dog allergy that I take medicine for. I am willing to work with dogs. I am hoping that exposure to dogs will help my allergies improve. I am flexible with my schedule. I can accommodate and move around my days depending on your needs. I have a 4 year old, so it will all hinge on her care. I have a senior cat living with me. I know how to follow dietary or physical restrictions set by the pets' owners. Clear instructions are key.
“I was a bit uneasy at first to use a dog sitting app. 5 minutes on the phone with Matt and I was relieved. We met up a couple days before dropping Brandi off for her first time boarding and Brandi and Matt instantly hit it off and I couldn’t have been happier. Much better than taking a dog to a kennel and one very happy puppy.”
“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!”
About: I currently work as a kennel technician at an animal shelter. I am experienced in handling dogs of all temperaments, prioritizing the dog’s safety and my own safety. I’ve pet sat for many clients. I have taken care of older dogs and young dogs. I am comfortable taking care of dogs of all temperaments. My services include dog walking, playing fetch, and feeding and watering. I am currently a part time employee at an animal shelter. However, I am not be working everyday of the week, or all day. I will have plenty of time to care for your pups in the morning time and evening time. When I do drop in visits, I ensure that all of your pets needs are met, which includes playing fetch or going for a walk, so that they are able to get energy out before their owner gets home.
“Hannah was INCREDIBLE. So glad we found her to watch our special Floki. I am extremely picky about who I choose to have watch my dog, and I couldn’t be happier with Hannah. She sent so many updates and beautiful pictures/videos of our boy. I could tell he had such a blast with her and her dogs. They went on many trail walks, and she even sent me videos of him opening his Christmas gifts we wrapped for him. We will definitely be contacting Hannah next time we go on a trip without Floki.”
“You can really tell her love for her dogs and any dog she cares for. she sent photo and text updates daily and she agreed to watch our dogs on such short notice. We are extremely grateful for Jaclyn and he attention to detail.”
“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.”
“I highly recommend Ashley as a sitter. She took excellent care of our seven-year-old dog Josie over a long weekend. Ashley was great in keeping me updated daily on Josie with texts and photos taken during their hikes at nearby trails. Josie can be reactive towards other dogs and Ashley adeptly handled a couple of interactions with other dogs. Josie also warmed up to Ashley pretty quickly which is unusual for her.”

“Brooke was terrific! She sent us plenty of photos, kept us up-to-date on our diabetic cat and was very comfortable calling or texting with questions (since we hadn't provided all of the answers). She was on time and extremely caring. We'll definitely be hiring her again.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Liseli stayed in our house several nights to cat sit our babies while we were traveling. She has provided an exceptional , smart and very qualified service beyond what we could have expected, always attentive to the cat moods and comfort, keeping us perfectly informed about the kitties and also sending many pictures. Our Maine Coon can be difficult, and she managed to win her over. We warmly recommend Liseli for pet sitting, and will definitely use her services again the next times we travel!”
“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!”
“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!!!”
“Eliot was amazing! She even came by before our trip to meet our kitty and talk about his routine. She left pictures and detailed descriptions of her drop ins that made us feel much better about leaving him home. Our kitty has a prescribed diet with a specific routine due to some medical issues and Eliot had no issues with that. We would absolutely recommended her to anyone who needs a pet sitter! She is trustworthy and thorough, a true animal lover!”
“Anna did an amazing job, yet again, as our sitter for Jethro. He’s a large dog with high energy, and we appreciate her efforts to understand that and provide him with the necessary stimulation to keep him happy and healthy while we are gone.”
About: I’m very patient with pets and good at following routines, schedules, medications, feeding times, walks, and giving extra attention to anxious or senior dogs. I also make sure owners feel comfortable by sending regular updates and photos throughout the stay so they know their pets are safe, happy, and cared for 🤍 Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I'm a nursing student, and I'm primarily available Monday through Friday. I enjoy staying active, so I love incorporating walks, playtime, and quality time with pets into my day. I always make sure each pet receives the attention, care, and consistency they deserve while following the owner's instructions and routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I make sure they are fed on time, walked regularly, given plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort, and I always keep the home clean and respected. I also provide photo updates and communication so owners feel reassured while they’re 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
“Melissa sat our four cats while we were out of town for the weekend and she did an excellent job. She was communicative and she was attentive to our pets. We’ve always had some minor issues with them at meal time; Melissa is the one who figured out a viable solution. We so appreciate her effort and care. We’ll definitely be calling on Melissa again and have no hesitation in recommending her for your pet sitting needs.”
About: I also offer cat sitting services in your home. I understand that cats thrive in their own environment, so I'll ensure they receive plenty of love and attention while you're away. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just some gentle cuddles, I’m here to keep your kitty friend comfortable and happy. Plus, I'll make sure their litter box is clean and their favorite toys are at the ready for some fun! Your cat will feel safe and content in their own space, and you can relax knowing they're in good hands.
About: Cats tell stories with their slow blinks and graceful steps, and I’ve spent years learning their subtle cues. Whether it’s coaxing a shy feline out with gentle patience, playing with feather wands just right, or offering calm company to purr-seekers, I understand that cat care requires as much attentiveness as dog care — just spoken in a softer voice. From administering meds with ease to creating spaces where even nervous cats feel brave enough to explore, I ensure that every whisker-twitch and soft purr is met with understanding, play, and respect.
About: I have been around animals my entire life. I have worked with all kinds of sizes, temperaments, and personalities. I currently volunteer with the ARLGP, and love the skills I learn every day from the dogs and other animals there. Whether your dog is the easiest to walk, or needs some special attention (and strength!), I am here to help! Your pets may come back with better manners than when they left :) I am a business owner, and am often home at my property in Topsham enjoying the sunshine or local trails with them. Despite my own travel, my schedule is incredibly open and flexible! We have a small portion of our yard that has a light fence, we usually just walk the dogs or take them to the nearby dog park. Our little guy is an ex-escape artist, so we are always double checking, paying attention, and increasing security on walks / outings! Safety is a huge priority!
About: I’ve owned cats my entire life. I’m the go to person in my family and friends group when someone needs help with their cats whether it’s getting medications into them or basic grooming. I’ve worked in a boarding facility where I cleaned up after cats daily and fed daily along with giving medications some oral and some injectable.

“Nikki was wonderful! She got us in last minute for daycare, and was so amazing with keeping us updated and sending the best pics! Our girls are happy pups and worn out from their big day. We will for sure use her services 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. My property in Byfield is on a dead end street with beautiful trails along the stream or trails through the woods. Very quiet neighborhood with lots of puppy neighbors
“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!!”
“Susan took great care of my dog Franklin. My dog is a senior and has a few extra needs, she met with us ahead of time to clarify them and make sure Franklin had the best care. I got picture updates during the day. Susan did a great job communicating. I look forward to having Susan sit Franklin again in the future.”
“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!”
About: I have experience with puppies, training, dogs with anxiety, geriatric dogs and more. I also have experience with complex health needs and care in dogs. I work from home as a travel agent. I realized one of the biggest concerns for travelers was their dogs and the thought of having to use kennel services. Since I have the ability to be with the dogs all day it made sense to offer my home and a family setting. Our dog Sweety sleeps with us at night and so do our guest dogs. Unless that isn’t happening at home. The dogs we care for are like family during their visit. We live in a very private setting. While we don’t have fencing, we do have a large private yard on a private dirt road. We live on 5 acres.
About: I have taken care of dogs for to 20+ years in many different capacities including but not limited to daycare, grooming, training, veterinary kennel technician, in-home pet sitting. I have impeccable references upon request that will confirm my experience. Senior/puppy care available. All ages! I am retired and available upon demand. Dogs are my passion and my references will confirm this. I can come to you or your dog can come to me. Overnight stays will be in my pet-safe home. I have a safe fenced in pen for playtime. I live in the country with many walking paths available for the dogs to exercise and I have a large back yard. I live with my Blackmouth Cur rescue dog and our newly acquired Jack Russell Terrier pup. They both love playing with 'fur-friends'. I will closely monitor your pet while in my care as I am retired and stay with the dogs 24/7. Rest assured!
About: My entire life has always revolved around animals. As a lifelong equestrian, I’ve grown up taking care of horses and dogs of all shapes and sizes. Previously a barn manager, I’m now a pet & equine photographer. That means when I’m not at a horse show or photoshoot, I’m at my desk at home with my own two senior dogs curled underneath. My years in the horse world and now with senior dogs has taught me how to apply topical medication, give injections and oral meds, and how to recognize and redirect problematic behavior. Living on 15 wooded acres set back from the road means there is plenty of space for pups to run around as well as numerous off leash walking trails should your pup be up for it. Staying with me is like a country retreat for your pet - walks through the forest and sunsets and squirrel watching from the deck. If you're lucky, you might even get some professional photos out of it. As a self-employed pet photographer, I work from home when I’m not at a horse show or photo shoot. This gives me lots of flexibility day to day and during the day. I like to let dogs approach me as they feel comfortable and understand that dogs are capable of a wide range of personalities. My number one priority is that everyone feels safe and has their needs met. In my home, well behaved and responsive dogs may be allowed off-leash outside as we have plenty of space far from the nearest road. Dogs that can’t be trusted off leash will enjoy wooded walks around the property or nearby dog-friendly trails.
About: From having a furry friend the majority of my life I understand the deep love pet owners have for their fur babies. I bring a deep love for tail wagging fun and cuddles. From daily walks and play time to specialized dietary needs and medication administration, I am committed to providing top-notch care tailored to each pets individualized personality and requirements. When you entrust your babies into my care, you can rest assured that they are in capable and loving hands! With a flexible schedule throughout the workday, This flexibility allows me to tailor my availability to your needs, whether it's scheduling midday walks, administering medications, or providing extra cuddle time, most of the time I can be there. Whether your furry friend requires attention during the early hours of the morning or late into the evening, I can be there to ensure they feel loved and attended to. This adaptability enables me to accommodate any unexpected changes or last-minute requests, guaranteeing peace of mind for both pet owners and their beloved companions. With a commitment to providing reliable and compassionate care, I'm dedicated to ensuring that pets receive the attention and support they deserve. With summers off, I have the wonderful opportunity to dedicate abundant time to enriching activities, especially dog walking. The warmer months offer extended daylight hours and pleasant weather, creating the perfect conditions for outdoor adventures with furry companions. I’m in a unique position of living at a boarding school. I am fortunate to have the unique opportunity to share my living space with my own fur baby, which enriches my life as well as hers. This environment provides a nurturing and welcoming atmosphere where pets can thrive alongside their humans and the rest of the community. This means extra pets and love! From daily walks around campus to cozy evenings spent together, I prioritize their happiness and well-being above all else. As someone who has trusted other people with my own pets I understand what you are looking for in terms of care. I thrive to provide that loving fun environment for your furry friends.
“Chelsea was amazing. It was really easy to interact with her and she was warm and welcoming from the get go. Norbert took to her and her house from the instant we walked in.”
“I couldn't be HAPPIER with our new dog sitters!!! Thank you so much for making this a GREAT experience. I was nervous to let anyone else watch my dog, and after our meet and greet, I was more secure. But after our first "daycare" experience, I"M HOOKED! Now we are excited about Aiko's extended stay coming up in the near future! THANK YOU!!!”

In addition to walking and caring for pets for the past 2 years, I have owned two different dogs over the past 15 years which further stamped my interest in developing a career involving animals!

“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!”
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, with the occasional in-office day, so my home offers constant companionship for our guests. Someone is always home and guests are never left unattended. 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 work rotation. - 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.

About: I grew up with two cats and have always been surrounded by animals, especially dogs. I have a strong love for pets and understand how I’m important it is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Throughout college, I have regularly helped care for my friends’ dogs, including providing walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they receive the attention, patience, and love they deserve. I am comfortable with different personalities and energy levels and will always treat your pet like they are my own. I am currently a college student on summer break, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. Right now, I work a part-time job Monday–Wednesday, but I will be fully done working in about a week and will have full availability to provide care, attention, and support for your pets. I enjoy staying active, spending time outdoors, and creating a routine, so pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I understand how important it is for pets to have consistency and attention, and I would love the opportunity to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I have a big back yard with lots of room to play and an air conditioned house. I’ll follow your pets routine and can be crated if needed!

“Melissa was great! She walked our two 70lb pit bulls Skye and Blue 4 days in a row. She was great communicating the times she was going to walk them and showing up on time. She sent pictures each walk with the map and distance of the walks. We would definitely hire Melissa again to walk Skye and Blue. Highly recommended!, Thank you Melissa!”

Im an artsy person; im in college for horticulture and I hope to work as an agricultural specialist. Veterinary assistant experience from York County Community College.

About: I have been around animals my entire life. I have worked with all kinds of sizes, temperaments, and personalities. I currently volunteer with the ARLGP, and love the skills I learn every day from the dogs and other animals there. Whether your dog is the easiest to walk, or needs some special attention (and strength!), I am here to help! Your pets may come back with better manners than when they left :) I am a business owner, and am often home at my property in Topsham enjoying the sunshine or local trails with them. Despite my own travel, my schedule is incredibly open and flexible! We have a small portion of our yard that has a light fence, we usually just walk the dogs or take them to the nearby dog park. Our little guy is an ex-escape artist, so we are always double checking, paying attention, and increasing security on walks / outings! Safety is a huge priority!

“Christina was great! My 2 typically take a while to settle in and can sometimes not eat for up to 24 hrs, but they both felt comfortable enough to eat the first night! That’s a huge win and shows how relaxed and calming her and the other dogs were. I will definitely book again for our next trip.”
“Marissa was fantastic! She went above and beyond for our dogs and took such good care of them. She sent photos every day. She took them for walks and swims and gave them extra love and the best care. She was extremely responsive, and I would give her 10 stars if I could! I hope to use her again in the future!”
“Once again, SO HAPPY with Charles and Christina!!! Our dog just had a long stay, 5 nights and 6 days, and we received updates daily! And most important, she LOVES it there. They treat her like their own when she is there! WE COULDN'T BE MORE PLEASED!! Thank you Charles and Christina!”
“Timber clearly had a great time with Nikki!. Nikki was very communicative and understood when last minute changes happened, i got lots of photos of Timber playing with other dogs and kids. I would definitely recommend Nikki and will be using her in the future”
“This is our second time boarding Curt with Chelsea. She took very good care of him while we were on vacation and sent pictures and updates on how he was doing. Would highly recommend her anytime!”
“Alyx was great. She was very flexible and accommodating (we needed to ch age drop off time after making the booking and she was great about it). She took Bret care of our pupper. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Marlo's stay with Anna Julia was excellent. She took great care of our Marlo, took him for walks, was very responsive and sent me photos of our happy camper. We will definitely consider booking more stays with Anna Julia in the future.”
“Sarah was amazing with Tank. We were worried as he shows some early signs of anxiety and guarding and had never been left anywhere overnight before, but he took well to Sarah and her family. She was stern in helping him learn how to behave and helped give us tips as well on how we can continue to train him! She was easy to talk to and gave great feedback daily on his wellbeing and growth. We will definitely be rebooking with Sarah again!”
“Craig was so great with our hyper, anxious dog! He sent regular updates and photos and was very flexible when our travel plans changed at the last minute. His own dog is so calm, and was so sweet with ours as well. I highly recommend Craig—your dog will be in very good hands with him!”
“I was a bit uneasy at first to use a dog sitting app. 5 minutes on the phone with Matt and I was relieved. We met up a couple days before dropping Brandi off for her first time boarding and Brandi and Matt instantly hit it off and I couldn’t have been happier. Much better than taking a dog to a kennel and one very happy puppy.”
“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!”

“Hannah was INCREDIBLE. So glad we found her to watch our special Floki. I am extremely picky about who I choose to have watch my dog, and I couldn’t be happier with Hannah. She sent so many updates and beautiful pictures/videos of our boy. I could tell he had such a blast with her and her dogs. They went on many trail walks, and she even sent me videos of him opening his Christmas gifts we wrapped for him. We will definitely be contacting Hannah next time we go on a trip without Floki.”
“You can really tell her love for her dogs and any dog she cares for. she sent photo and text updates daily and she agreed to watch our dogs on such short notice. We are extremely grateful for Jaclyn and he attention to detail.”
“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.”
“I highly recommend Ashley as a sitter. She took excellent care of our seven-year-old dog Josie over a long weekend. Ashley was great in keeping me updated daily on Josie with texts and photos taken during their hikes at nearby trails. Josie can be reactive towards other dogs and Ashley adeptly handled a couple of interactions with other dogs. Josie also warmed up to Ashley pretty quickly which is unusual for her.”
“Eliot helped us out last minute to watch our dog when we were away from home. She made her comfortable and put us at ease knowing she was in a place where she was well cared for and happy. Thank you Eliot!”
“Missy is terrific! Very lucky to have found her to care for our 2 yr old English Golden. Great communication, regular updates, pictures, lots of outdoor activities, and our pup clearly loved and and was comfortable w Missy and her family, human and canine (Charlie). Brix was very happy and relaxed when she got home. :-) Highly recommend!”
