“Jodie was amazing!! It was our first time leaving our dog somewhere over night and she made us feel comfortable and we knew our pup was in good hands. She continually checks in and sends pictures and I knew right away I was leaving my pup in good hands. Highly recommend Jodie!”
“I can’t recommend Abby more! She was so accommodating and welcoming to our dog. She always kept us in the loop and was sending pictures of all the fun he was having. I’m so happy we have found someone that we truly feel comfortable leaving our dog with. Again, she is so so so amazing and I can’t recommend her enough!”
“We are repeat customers, Heather is always so flexible with changing plans and makes everything stress free! Lola loves spending time with her and it's always an adventure at her place!”
“I can’t stop saying how wonderful Rachel is. She has cared for Louis several times and each time I’m at ease because I know he’s in good hands. Thank you Rachel so much!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently have five of my own, so caring for them comes naturally to me. As a stay-at-home mom to four kids, I’m home and available throughout the day—meaning your pup will always have company, love, and attention. Caring for pets is second nature in my home. Between my five dogs and four kids, there’s always love, play, and activity to go around. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or cozy evening cuddles, pets easily become part of our family rhythm and daily routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to keep things comfortable and familiar. I make sure they’re well-fed, walked, and given plenty of love and attention—just as if they were my own. I also keep homes tidy and respect any specific instructions, so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Megan did an outstanding job taking care of our pup. Communication was excellent and she sent a lot of really cute pictures of her while we are away. We felt very comfortable leaving her with Megan and her family!”
“Absolute best sitter I've left my GSD with. Hoping to book again soon so he gets more socialization with their pup. Kalani was very accommodating and understanding of my last minute request to book on a holiday weekend and my boys' anxiety that can look like aggression. Great communication and care. Would recommend her to anyone in a heart beat!”
“We had such a great experience leaving our little Luna with Jacob and Willie (his friendly dog!). Jacob was super communicative with little reassuring updates and made sure to provide a cozy and comfortable space for her to stay while we were on vacation. Were really grateful for the experience and would absolutely recommend him to anyone who’s looking for someone to care for their pup!”
“Amanda is terrific! From the outset, she was very responsive to all my questions about how she would care for Sammy, our one-year-old labradoodle puppy. It was a last-minute booking and Amanda was very flexible in scheduling a meet and greet on short notice. When we dropped off Sammy for his weekend stay, Amanda was very careful to give Sammy a quiet space to get familiar with his surroundings. Within minutes of leaving, I received pictures of our very happy puppy playing with all her pups. Sammy has a lot of eye secretions, and Amanda followed all of our instructions and did an excellent job of keeping his eyes clean and healthy. Sammy also is a picky eater, and she made sure that he had plenty of nourishment and water. Most significantly, when Amanda dropped off an item that accidentally was left at her house, Sammy went crazy with excitement to see her friend Amanda and husband Nico. Totally helicopter tail and puppy kisses galore. Sammy’s reaction told me everything I wanted to know. We feel so lucky to have found Amanda. We will definitely be using her services again, and I highly recommend her dog sitting and boarding services!”
“Adriana has been so wonderful every step of the way! She was very flexible when I needed to reschedule our meet and greet. She welcomed my family and dog into her beautiful home and has a great set up for hosting dogs. She has a perfect fenced backyard and we were able to see how her dog and cat interacted with our high energy dog. We had a last-minute change of travel plans due to illness and Adriana was so kind and helped us figure out a new plan. Once we dropped off our dog she sent frequent video and photo updates. Her family made sure he had a lot of play time and exercise through games in their yard and neighborhood walks. She is very organized, kind and a great communicator. I highly recommend her and we will definitely trust her with our dog for future travel.”
“Amanda was great, she took such good care of Caju, and was flexible about the drop off which was really helpful for us. Amanda and her partner were very friendly, communicative and made sure Caju had a good time while he was there, they have a big fenced yard for the dogs to run around.”
“Ashton and his wife took excellent care of my dogs while I was away. They were kind, reliable, and made me feel comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands. My dogs came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. The pickup and drop-off process was smooth and easy, and I could tell they genuinely cared about my pets. I will definitely be booking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy pet sitters!”
“Faustine took good care of our dog and we enjoyed the photo updates she was sending us! We also appreciated how quickly she responded to our messages and addressed any questions we had. We will definitely use her services again!”
“Aya and Abdullah took excellent care of my 2 cats. My cats were both rescues and I was unsure of how they would behave in a new environment with other cats. Aya made sure they were gradually introduced and felt comfortable in their own private space. She provided regular updates and pics. The cats seemed so happy where they were and also very happy when I brought them home, no bad habits developed duringn their 2 week stay. I wholeheartedly recommend Aya and Abdullah! Thanks again!!”
“The pups loved their stay with Amanda and her family! They were clearly doted on and had a great time. We got updates throughout the stay and communication was easy & clear. Would definitely board with her again. Thank you!”
“Joshua, you were fantastic with my dog Slippy for the full 10 days. From the very beginning, I could tell how much care and attention you gave him. The regular updates and sweet photos meant the world to me and let me truly relax on my trip. Slippy came home happy, energetic, and clearly well-loved. I so grateful for everything you did. Thank you so much, Joshua — I would happily trust you with Slippy again anytime!”

I've house sat for cats & I would love the opportunity to care for your furry friend :) I'm very organized, timely, & love to clean!
“Kali was great! My husband and I left our cat for the first time and were really nervous but her communication while we were away helped ease our anxieties. She even made sure to turn on the A/C during a couple really hot days. Our cat isn’t the easiest cat to get along with but she always tried to take the time to play even when he wasn’t being nice with his claws. I would definitely use Kali again!”
“We had a great experience with Callie. She was very communicative ahead of time, and sent us lots of pictures every visit. Our kitties seemed very happy when we got home! Will definitely request Callie again in the future, and would recommend her to anyone looking for multi-cat care.”
“Emily is extremely friendly and warm. . She has a real passion for animals and a lot of experience. She is easy to work with and excellent at giving updates about caring for your animal(s). We had a great experience in her checking on our beloved cat, Butterscotch!”
“Emily is great with my cat ! I was out of town for a few days and Emily checked in and set up the food and water while I was away. The pictures Emily sent were awesome to have a visual update of whet my cat was doing.”
“Jordan did a great job looking after my cat and home! A tree fell and took out power lines leading to my place. Jordan contacted Golden Valley right away rather than telling me about it and leaving it up to me while I was 3000 miles away. I won’t hesitate to contact her first next time I have to travel.”
“Hannah was wonderful with our two kitties. She came over a day early for a meet and greet and our kitties warmed to her really quickly. She was very communicative and sent great updates. We loved having Hannah as our sitter and will definitely use her again!”
“Meg took great care of my kitty while I was gone. She listened to what I needed and followed through. It gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely use her services again!”
About: I began my journey in animal care at the age of 15, working at a dog boarding and daycare facility.

While I later transitioned to office roles, my passion for the outdoors and animal companionship has never waned. Today, I am the proud caretaker of a diverse and lively menagerie, including my own pups, a cat, goats, ducks, pigs, cows, and chickens. My deep connection with animals drives me to offer exceptional daycare and boarding services. My property features a spacious field and a scenic wooded trail, perfect for nature walks and playgroups for local pets.

About: I have owned a Labrador Retriever, Jack Russell and two German Shepherds and have dog sat many others. I have had twelve years of experience with dog sitting. I will treat your dog like family with lots of love, spending time with them and many walks and adventures to dog parks around the area. I will give them lots of treats. While spending time at your home will treat it as my home with keeping it clean and able to do little stuff around the house such as watering the plants and picking up the mail with no extra cost. I have a flexible schedule, which I am able to pet sit at last notice. I have a dog name Juno who is a six year old Labrador who is friendly and gets along with all dogs. I would like meet and greets just to know the dog before hand and the dog knows me and Juno before we welcome them into our home! We want to create a welcoming home to your dog by not being a total stranger watching them, helping your dog with adjusting as their family is away. I currently work as a nurse so on my days off I am usually at home hanging with Juno and going on walks or playing in the uard I have yard with a river in the back. My dog usually off leash but because of the no fence will keep your dog on leash for safety and lots of walks throughout the day!

“Abby is truly the gold standard for dog daycare! We’ve been bringing our pup to her for over a year, and she continues to go above and beyond in every way. She treats every dog like absolute family. Communication is seamless and prompt, she sends great updates throughout the day, which gives me complete peace of mind. She is knowledgeable, professional, flexible, and extremely responsible. She easily manages dietary restrictions, specialty instructions, and has even administered medication to my dog without issue. Abby manages both leashed and off-leash trained dogs beautifully, and my pup always comes home pleasantly exhausted. Most recently, she even took in our foster pup and provided invaluable feedback on how he did in a group setting and new environment with new stimuli. We couldn’t be happier with our experience every single time. We can’t recommend Abby enough!”
“Jodie took wonderful care of our tiny pup while we were out for the day. We had consistent updates during the sit and pictures of a very content puppy that gave us peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy the day. Already booked the next sit, so happy to have found a wonderful sitter nearby!”
“Ashley is pleasant and knows what she is doing with these dogs! She has an ideal yard and home and was willing to show me the environment. She sent me pictures throughout the day and made me feel very comfortable. We can’t wait to work with Ashley again!”
About: Enjoy walking on the trail and would love to walk dogs. Have access to a fenced yard so the dogs will be safe to play and have fun. I am not working at the moment. Will be available to walk and also to board at home. Can also pet sit in the owner's home Access to a fenced yard. Don't own any pets at the moment, so my apartment is safe and ready to board your pets if needed
“Our pup was very well taken care of, few hiccups along the way however they were very responsive, and she returned home every day just wiped out from blowing off all of her energy.”
“Rachael was wonderful! Opie went for a day play and hang out. He had some buddies to play with and was a sleepy pup once we got back home. Rachael sent photos and reassured us everyone was happy! Thanks!!”

“Jie was very responsive and easy to communicate with. My dog had such a great time being at Jie's house, meeting the other dogs, observing the chickens, and even doing some agility in the backyard. They are definitely dog lovers, we feel fortunate to have found Jie. We love knowing our dog is safely in good hands, and having a great time to boot!”

“Heather and her daughter were awesome! My pup was taken care and had a fun day playing with other dogs! She came home and went right to sleep! They are great!”
“Susan and John were great! Their home has an ideal set-up for dogs with indoor and outdoor play areas. Rosie was nervous on her first visit and they took special care of her. Would definitely ask them to sit her again!”
“Ashley is a top-notch sitter! She has sat for Zion a couple times now, and the last time we dropped him off he ran inside the house never looking back. It's such a relief to have found someone we can trust and who Zion loves to stay with! We can't recommend her enough! ”
“Lindsey watched our dog, Jack, for an impromptu visit to the aquarium and lunch. She took WONDERFUL care of him and even though we’d never met her before, we were instantly put at ease by her calm and kind demeanor. Next time we’re in Newport, we’ll definitely reach out to her again. Thank you Lindsey!”

“Rebekah took care of our pups and knew exactly what to do for them with their care. She was communicative and professional and prompt. Our dogs love her! We won’t hesitate to work with Rebekah again!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life. Big dogs, small dogs, medium dogs. Usually 2 at a time. Our last dog passed in 2020 at age 11. In November 2022 we adopted a 10 month old blue tick coonhound. Her name is Pickle and she’s the sweetest. She’s super shy and submissive and we haven’t had any issues with her meeting other dogs, but we do want to ensure she is comfortable before booking anything and we require a meet and greet prior to confirming any bookings. When it comes to training, we use positive reinforcement and gentle words. In fact, the last dog I was training we hired a trainer to come in, since it had been a while for me, and the trainer said I was doing a great job and didn't think there needed to be any additional visits, unless I wanted them. I work part time, Tuesday’s and Wednesdays about 4 hours in an office, along with bringing kids to and from school. My work is very flexible and I am able to make changes as necessary. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of toys! We provide positive reinforcement and lots of cuddles! My children are relatively dog savvy, we have a 3, 5 year old, and a 8 year old. The 3 year old absolutely loves animals and will try to snuggle as much as possible.
“We love Emily and are so lucky to have found her. She does a great job caring for our crazy animals and is very reliable. We will absolutely continue to book with her.”
About: Everyone always asks me why dogs are so nice to me and quiet and I’m not really sure but I love all animals! So I hope you can trust me with yours! I work full time but after work I’m always available usually and on weekends. I’m very lenient towards everyone’s schedules so take your time! Don’t worry I will only be going to peoples homes to pet sit or walk because I live in an apartment that doesn’t allow dogs unfortunately maybe one day when I get my own house though!
About: I currently have two cats and two dogs that I absolutely adore and consider part of the family. I've also pet sat for family friends and have experience caring for pets with different needs and personalities. After caring for a sick fur baby of my own, I'm comfortable giving medications and helping pets who need a little extra attention or medical care. I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands, and I’ll always treat them with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. ❤️ I’m currently a full-time college student completing my classes online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. Because I can plan my coursework around my commitments, I’m able to be dependable and accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. I’m more than happy to provide in-home visits to care for your precious pets. Before any visits begin, I like to meet with families to discuss any questions, concerns, or special care instructions. It’s also a great opportunity for your pets to get comfortable with me and for us to make sure we’re a good fit. My goal is to help both you and your pets feel safe, confident, and at ease while you're away.
“Heather is fantastic! The Meet and Greet gave me and my dog a chance to meet Heather. She was warm and loving toward Lulu (dog) and genuinely interested in what is best for my dog. On the day of the walk Heather was flexible and punctual . I worry about Lulu when I'm away, but felt at ease knowing that Heather was going to do a great job with her. Heather took Lulu to her favorite spots and she was really happy after the walk. I will definitely use Heather again. She is one of the best walkers I've had over the years. I HIGHLY recommend Heather.”
“Callie is amazing! She is dependable and communicates effectively. I really can’t explain how much I appreciate her! I look forward to the pictures of Kola from her walks! Thank you Callie so much!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 15. I have taken care of neighbors, family, and close friends' animals. I have experience with a variety of dog breeds and personalities. I have had to administer medication via shots to animals before and feel comfortable in those situations. I plan on going to veterinary school and have a strong interest in animals and making sure they have fun. I am currently working an internship completely online as well as taking an online summer class. I am able to stay anywhere I need to take care of animals. I have not much else that can interfere with me accompanying the animals. I will take the animals on walks and play with them. I want to make sure they are having as much fun as possible so they cannot worry about anything.

About: A recent BU grad in Biomedical Engineering. I’m an experienced pet owner with my own orange cat at home, who struggles with asthma. I have owned a multitude of species and breeds and have experience with senior animals and their conditions. I have experience and am comfortable dosing and administering insulin to both dogs and cats, as well as caring for visually impaired animals. I am currently looking for part-time work, so I have and will continue to have lots of time to walk and play with your animals. My own animals function best on a routine, so I will be happy to try my hardest to stick to your own pets. I understand that pets are important members of the family, and I treat my own as such, and will treat yours as well. The most important thing is keeping everyone safe, which means careful consideration for how we interact, on their terms. I have experience with medical conditions and am comfortable administering any needed medications, as well as know warning signs that an animal may be stressed. As we know, Boston can be warm, supplying water for walks and outside time is a necessity.

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, they were always a part of my life, and caring for them came naturally. Both of my parents shared that same love for animals, so I was raised in a home where pets were treated like family—with patience, kindness, and lots of affection. That love has stayed with me into adulthood. I understand that every dog and cat has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I enjoy taking the time to help them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. My home has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore, and there's always plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing—whatever makes them feel most at home. When your pet stays with me, they won't just be looked after—they'll be welcomed into a home where they're treated with the same love, care, and respect I'd want for my own pets. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. My schedule allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care, whether that's going for walks, playing in the yard, sticking to their normal routine, or simply giving them the attention and companionship they deserve. I enjoy making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and right at home while their family is away. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore under my supervision. I never leave pets outside unattended, and I make sure they always have fresh water, a comfortable place to rest, and plenty of love and attention.
About: Hi there! I love all animals, especially dogs, and can't wait to meet your wonderful pup(s)! I grew up taking care of horses, goats, rabbits, guinea pigs, cats and dogs from a young age, and have always had at least 2 dogs in my household my whole life. My family currently has two Tibetan Terriers (Midnight and Teddy)! I walked dogs through Wag in New York City while at school and have done sittings through them as well. Pet parents have given me perfect ratings for being extra caring, reliable, and having great distances on walks! I have completed over 50 walks through Wag in over 10 zip codes around New York City, Southern New Hampshire and Middle Tennessee. I am skilled in senior dog care, puppy care, oral medicine administration and work well with dogs who pull, high energy dogs, and shy dogs who need extra attention to feel comfortable with a stranger. My week to week schedule varies, but at the moment I am mostly available Sundays - Fridays! I am very much not a morning person, so I accept walk bookings starting in the late morning. I take care of your pets in the comfort of your home, they will get walks and frequent potty breaks, and have lots of cuddles and play time. I do come and go to run errands, and have other work some days, but try my best to make sure your pup(s) are not alone for long!
About: As an early teen, I walked dogs and pet sit for my neighbors for a few years. I was always reliable and on time. I let the client set the route they prefer their dog to walk, and I always take into account the dogs varying personalities and needs. I was doing HVAC but unfortunately I was laid off. I figured I’d do what I love and that is taking care of pets! Since I’m laid off I can do anytime and soon I will be able to do weekends as well. I have a big yard and I live in a quiet neighborhood. I live in a circle so it is a great walk with uphill and downhill!
About: I am such a big dog lover that has loved dogs ever since I was a little girl. I am very passionate about dogs and I believe that dogs deserve the best care they need.

If you’re going on vacation or if you need a dog walker I will be there for your dog and I will give your dog the best attention it needs and I will play with your dog and love your dog as well. Your dog will definitely have such a fun time with me because I will spoil it in the best way as possible. I am working a full-time job Monday through Friday and I’m available to take care of your pets right after I get out of work at 3:30 PM and I have full availability on weekends.

About: I've taken care of my and other's dogs and animals since age 10. I am a sizeable male who can handle larger breeds of dogs with pulling issues etc. From tall to small I teach for all. I care for my three dogs and daughter's cat 7 days a week, including feeding, medicating, providing mental and physical stimulation (play and training). I take my dogs out multiple times a day while home. We play together often and work on some type of training for at least fifteen minutes a day.
About: Pet Care Experience — From Horses to Cats to Dogs My life with animals began long before it became a profession. At 14 years old, I started caring for horses — feeding, grooming, riding, exercising, and treating them as family. Horses taught me early lessons in patience, responsibility, and the importance of daily, consistent care. They also showed me how powerful the bond can be when animals are treated with respect and love. By 16, that passion grew into the dog world when I had the opportunity to be mentored by a close friend who was a Police K9 handler. That mentorship changed my life and set me on a path that would define my career. I began training at a K9 school in my hometown in New Hampshire, where I learned the foundations of K9 behavior, obedience, care, and handling of working dogs. I poured everything I had into learning the craft. After a year of dedicated internship and training, I taught my first class at just 17 years old. From that moment, I knew this was more than a job — it was a calling. Over the years, my experience grew into becoming a Police K9 handler in New Hampshire, followed by serving as a trainer and instructor for the NH Police K9 Academy through the Working Dog Foundation. I worked daily with high-drive working dogs and their handlers, focusing on discipline, safety, trust, and performance in real-world environments. After completing my full-time police career, I continued my K9 journey overseas, spending eight years in the Middle East providing private K9 handling and instruction in support of Army operations and Private Security detachments. Working in demanding and high-stress conditions further refined my skills and reinforced the importance of calm leadership, consistency, and deep respect for the dogs that depend on us. At the same time, I never stopped helping everyday families with their pets. Training and caring for family dogs — from energetic puppies to older companions — has always been just as important to me as working with professional K9 teams. I believe every dog deserves structure, patience, and loving guidance so they can thrive as well-behaved members of the family. Alongside my deep dog experience, my connection to cats comes from being a devoted cat owner. My wife and I shared our home with two amazing cats for about eight years, caring for them daily and loving them as part of our family. Living with cats taught me to appreciate their unique personalities, their need for gentle handling, respect for space, and the importance of calm, consistent routines — especially in a home shared with dogs. While my background with cats is personal rather than professional, it comes from genuine love and hands-on care as a pet parent. Through every chapter — horses, dogs, and cats — one thing has never changed: I treat animals as family. Today, with 27 years of experience centered around K9 training, handling, and care, supported by a lifetime of loving animals of all kinds, I bring a calm, confident, and compassionate approach to every pet I work with. Whether your dog needs structured care, your cat needs gentle attention, or your pet simply needs someone who will treat them like their own, I’m here to provide that level of trust and commitment. When you leave your pet with me, you’re not just choosing a sitter or caretaker — you’re choosing someone who has built his life around animals and who will care for yours with the same respect, patience, and love I’ve given my own. I am currently able to accommodate week days and most weekends to assist our communities. I can be available pretty much any time during the day as I own my own company that is newer to the industry it is supporting. 🛡️🐾 Safety, Trust & Environment For me, caring for animals has always been about more than just meeting basic needs — it’s about earning trust, creating calm, and treating every pet with the same respect and love I give my own. With decades of experience around animals — especially working dogs in high-responsibility and high-stress environments — I’ve learned that pets thrive when they feel safe, understood, and cared for with consistency. Whether it’s a high-drive dog, a shy cat, or a senior companion, I take the time to understand each animal’s personality, routines, and comfort level. In my care, your pet will have: ❤️ Genuine compassion and patience 🏡 A calm, structured, and loving environment 🦴 Proper exercise, enrichment, and rest 🍽️ Attention to feeding routines and health needs 👀 Close supervision and awareness at all times I believe animals should never feel rushed, ignored, or unsafe. I keep their spaces clean, secure, and peaceful, and I handle every interaction with calm confidence so they know they’re in good hands. Because of my background with working dogs and my life with pets like Aries, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your animal with someone else. I don’t take that lightly. When your pet is with me, they’re treated as part of my family — with the highest level of care, respect, and responsibility. Most importantly, I listen to what matters most to you, learning your pet’s daily routines and needs so I can mirror your care and make their time with me feel just like home.

“Bielka was wonderful! Kaiser loved staying with her! She is very easy to communicate with and very kind! She understood Kaiser’s health issues and took them seriously. Kaiser loved the walks through the woods and the snowy paths!”
“I can’t recommend Abby more! She was so accommodating and welcoming to our dog. She always kept us in the loop and was sending pictures of all the fun he was having. I’m so happy we have found someone that we truly feel comfortable leaving our dog with. Again, she is so so so amazing and I can’t recommend her enough!”
“We are repeat customers, Heather is always so flexible with changing plans and makes everything stress free! Lola loves spending time with her and it's always an adventure at her place!”
“I can’t stop saying how wonderful Rachel is. She has cared for Louis several times and each time I’m at ease because I know he’s in good hands. Thank you Rachel so much!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently have five of my own, so caring for them comes naturally to me. As a stay-at-home mom to four kids, I’m home and available throughout the day—meaning your pup will always have company, love, and attention. Caring for pets is second nature in my home. Between my five dogs and four kids, there’s always love, play, and activity to go around. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or cozy evening cuddles, pets easily become part of our family rhythm and daily routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to keep things comfortable and familiar. I make sure they’re well-fed, walked, and given plenty of love and attention—just as if they were my own. I also keep homes tidy and respect any specific instructions, so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Henry had a wonderful time, he got plenty of love and activity. It was just as much of a vacation for him as it was for me, and I got plenty of picture updates to know you was doing well while I went away. As always, Laura and her family and home were wonderful and a safe and comfortable place for Henry to have a mini vacation.”
“Megan did an outstanding job taking care of our pup. Communication was excellent and she sent a lot of really cute pictures of her while we are away. We felt very comfortable leaving her with Megan and her family!”
“Nataliya did an amazing job with our dogs! She sent numerous pictures per day. They looked like they were having a blast!!! You can tell she and her husband love dogs. Will utilize their services again for sure 💗”
“Absolute best sitter I've left my GSD with. Hoping to book again soon so he gets more socialization with their pup. Kalani was very accommodating and understanding of my last minute request to book on a holiday weekend and my boys' anxiety that can look like aggression. Great communication and care. Would recommend her to anyone in a heart beat!”
“Amanda is terrific! From the outset, she was very responsive to all my questions about how she would care for Sammy, our one-year-old labradoodle puppy. It was a last-minute booking and Amanda was very flexible in scheduling a meet and greet on short notice. When we dropped off Sammy for his weekend stay, Amanda was very careful to give Sammy a quiet space to get familiar with his surroundings. Within minutes of leaving, I received pictures of our very happy puppy playing with all her pups. Sammy has a lot of eye secretions, and Amanda followed all of our instructions and did an excellent job of keeping his eyes clean and healthy. Sammy also is a picky eater, and she made sure that he had plenty of nourishment and water. Most significantly, when Amanda dropped off an item that accidentally was left at her house, Sammy went crazy with excitement to see her friend Amanda and husband Nico. Totally helicopter tail and puppy kisses galore. Sammy’s reaction told me everything I wanted to know. We feel so lucky to have found Amanda. We will definitely be using her services again, and I highly recommend her dog sitting and boarding services!”
“Amanda was great, she took such good care of Caju, and was flexible about the drop off which was really helpful for us. Amanda and her partner were very friendly, communicative and made sure Caju had a good time while he was there, they have a big fenced yard for the dogs to run around.”
“Ashton and his wife took excellent care of my dogs while I was away. They were kind, reliable, and made me feel comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands. My dogs came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. The pickup and drop-off process was smooth and easy, and I could tell they genuinely cared about my pets. I will definitely be booking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy pet sitters!”
“Faustine took good care of our dog and we enjoyed the photo updates she was sending us! We also appreciated how quickly she responded to our messages and addressed any questions we had. We will definitely use her services again!”
“Aya and Abdullah took excellent care of my 2 cats. My cats were both rescues and I was unsure of how they would behave in a new environment with other cats. Aya made sure they were gradually introduced and felt comfortable in their own private space. She provided regular updates and pics. The cats seemed so happy where they were and also very happy when I brought them home, no bad habits developed duringn their 2 week stay. I wholeheartedly recommend Aya and Abdullah! Thanks again!!”
“The pups loved their stay with Amanda and her family! They were clearly doted on and had a great time. We got updates throughout the stay and communication was easy & clear. Would definitely board with her again. Thank you!”
“Joshua, you were fantastic with my dog Slippy for the full 10 days. From the very beginning, I could tell how much care and attention you gave him. The regular updates and sweet photos meant the world to me and let me truly relax on my trip. Slippy came home happy, energetic, and clearly well-loved. I so grateful for everything you did. Thank you so much, Joshua — I would happily trust you with Slippy again anytime!”
“Susan & John are fantastic, they took great care of Oliver. He loved playing with Emily and all her toys. We’ll definitely be back for more doggie play dates!! Thankful for Sue being so flexible with late notice and timing.”
