Personalized care for your dog or cat - Temple
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Temple
“Our dog Lance was cared for by Jo and her husband Mike. We were extremely happy with the care he received while we were on vacation. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her as a sitter.”
“My dog has never been so content returning from boarding. It was evident that Rachael and her family took great care of her. I definitely would not hesitate to send my dog to Rachael again.”
“Megan is absolutely incredible. She treats our dog as if she were her own. She communicates regularly and keeps us informed. So very grateful to have Megan watch our Fina when we are away. Five stars and beyond!”
“I am so thrilled to have found Judy!! I've had Shilo stay with Judy and her husband a few times now and I couldn't be happier. Shilo loves to run and the large fenced in backyard is perfect. Judy's dog, Rosie is sweet and welcoming. The updates and photos are great and relieves any worry or stress that I may have had!!! When it comes time for pick up, although Shilo appears to be happy to see me she also seems quite content to stay with judy....which is a really good sign!!”
“Very thorough when I dropped my dog off Reported back to me the details of his day seemed very capable. Finn was very relaxed and seemed perfectly adjusted in a situation where he normally would be very upset. I pup has severe anxiety separation, but he did great.”
“I’d give 6 stars if i could. We left Sully for an extended period of time for the very first time, which of course came with parental nerves and concerns (especially since my dog has IBD, so he needs the extra care and attention) Ashton was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and understanding of our nerves, but his care for Sully quickly dissolved our nerves of leaving Sully with how well he cared for him. Ashton sent us morning/evening updates, pictures, and took care of our dog as if he was one of his own (so much so that we could tell Sully was sad to leave him!) Ashton is an amazing pup care giver, i’d recommend him 10/10 and will choose him 100x over next time we need a sitter (and i know Sully will be so excited to see him again)”
“Have used Emily once again and couldn’t be more happy with her updates and photos of Forest while I was traveling. Highly recommend her services if you need any kind of pet sitting.”
“Highly recommend!!! We’ve had Phillip watch Yoshi a few times now. This time our flight got delayed & Phillip was kind enough to let him stay an extra night on short notice. Yoshi always come back exhausted. Thank you so much!!!”
“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.”
“Emily was AMAZING! Our Gus had a great time! It was obvious that Emily not only took VERY good care of him but he was treated to his all-time favorite game of fetch and cooling off in the kiddie pool multiple times! He came home happy and tired. :) We highly recommend Emily, she goes above and beyond expectations, and we will definitely use her again! Thanks Emily!”
“Rose had a great overnight with Jodi. Jodi was super nice and made Rose comfortable in a new space. We got updates and photos so we knew Rose was doing well. Rose hasn’t been boarded very often so we are very happy to have someone to look out for her. We’ll definitely use Jodi agin.”
“Our big lovable black lab had a wonderful time. He's very social and enjoyed being around people and puppies. We appreciated the daily updates. Brooke's services were of great value to us. Thanks again.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Alberta took incredible care of our sweet hamster while we went away for a weekend! She has a professional room set up for all boarding animals (even nicer than a vet boarding facility!) and sent us pictures / updates throughout our hamster's stay. Right when you meet Alberta you can tell that she is an animal lover, and is just the kind of person that you would entrust with the care of your furry friend! We will definitely be recommending Alberta to our friends in Boston, and will look to her services when we need someone to care for our pets in the future!”
“Vanessa was great! She treated my girls like they were her own, which is exactly what I was looking for in a sitter. She kept me updated on how they were doing with plenty of pictures. My girls were treated to many walks, plenty of play time, and cuddles. I’m so relieved to have found Vanessa!”
“Riley's stay with Kate was just what we needed! She is wonderful and warm. It was Riley's first time with a dog sitter. Needless to say, I was nervous about leaving him. Kate made this very easy for us. She was the best decision for Riley and us. Riley loves her. In fact, he did not want to leave her when I picked him up a week later. We were free of worries the entire time she took care of him. Her check-ins and responses to our inquiries were wonderful too! She is the perfect dog sitter for us. I highly recommend Kate. Thank you Kate!”
About: I've owned and cared for animals since high school. In addition to dogs and cats, I've owned horses since I was 16. I have been\am a foster parent for the Animal Rescue League of Boston since 2020. I'm a former puppy foster for service dogs and participated with early puppy training. I have carried those skills over to training other foster puppies and my personal dog. I have a medical background (EMT) and my daughter is a Vet Tech so I am very comfortable working with animals with medical needs and will follow any required medical plan. In addition to dogs and cats, I'd love to meet\care for your backyard farm animals; horses, pot-bellied pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, etc. I have experience with some of these animals through ownership and fostering opportunities. I'm open to meeting and learning about new friends. We currently have 4 dogs, 4 cats, and 2 horses in our home. All our animals are our babies and I'll care for yours as if they were my own. I'm currently unemployed so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I'm available for petsitting any day of the week and can work around any personal appointments. Boarding in my home is restricted to cats or other small animals. Puppies (under 1 year) may be accomodated, no adult dogs. For cats; we have a dedicated "cat room" to keep your pet separated from our pets. The room has a screen door so they don't feel locked away and can be part of our household while remaining safe. I will follow your pet care plan while in your home. For Puppies; all dogs are fed separately to avoid food aggression situations. All puppies will be crated for meals and sleeping overnight. If your puppy is not crate trained, I will work with them to ensure they are comfortable and not afraid. I can support your potty training schedule to maintain consistency.
“Shankar and his family were very accommodating with our dogs needs and took great care of her while keeping us well informed of everything that went on each day and sent plenty of pictures. Would definitely board with them again!”

“This is the second time I’ve had Callie do drop-in visits for my two cats and she did a fantastic job both times! She goes above and beyond to make sure your pets stay happy and healthy. I highly recommend hiring her for any of your pet care needs!”
About: I’ve been working with dogs since I was 7 years old at my grandmothers dog grooming salon. I’ve always loved both dogs and cats, and I’ve always felt a connection to them. I now have a dog and cat, and am open to caring for more animals! Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine very easily. On days that I’m working I have plenty of time to walk my dog and feed her in the morning, and once I get out of work i have just enough time to do a walk and feed her! On my days off I tend to spend as much time with my pets as possible, wether is playing, walking, or cuddling! I care for my pets at home by spending quality time with them. My dog loves walks, playing with toys, doing tricks for treats, and cuddling. My cat enjoys lounging with me some days, but he isn’t very playful.
About: I’ve taking care of different kinds of dogs even puppies that family and friends had me help it with a few years ago till now. so I am available to help during the week and some weekends as well I will start be available for weekends in November it. Ask me any questions you may have. I am here Hi! I’m a dependable and loving pet sitter who enjoys spending time with animals of all personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to keeping your pet safe, happy, and well cared for. You can trust me to treat your pet like family.
About: I have over 10 years of experience working with cats through volunteer work at a local cat shelter and caring for cats for friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve worked with cats of all ages and personalities, including kittens, seniors, shy cats, and multi-cat households. I understand feline behavior and know how to make cats feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. Whether your cat needs playtime, feeding, medication assistance, litter box care, or simply a calm and patient companion, I provide reliable and attentive care. I treat every cat as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages during each visit.
“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!”
“Margaret & Dawson were great and took care of our pets like they were their own. Very trustworthy, dependable and communicative. They sent us pictures and videos of the pets with each visit. We recommend booking with them and we will book with them again in the future!”
“Amanda was amazing with our two cats! She dropped in to check on them, feed them, clean the box, and give one of our cats medicine. She always stayed to play with them and she went above and beyond to clean up after them. They loved having her around!”
About: Dogs and cats have been a part of my life since I was a small child. From a young age, I was helping neighbors by letting their dogs out and watching their cats while they were away. I’ve grown up around all kinds of dogs—from my own tiny 7-pound Chihuahua to my dad’s large pack of hounds—and I’ve experienced every stage of life, from newborn litters to senior pets. With years of hands-on experience, I understand the unique needs and personalities of each animal, so you can trust that your pets are in caring, experienced hands. I currently just quit my full time job and I’m working on building my cleaning business. I’m excited to take on new pets to fill in my extra free time! I take pride in being a reliable and trustworthy caregiver for every pet I look after. I treat each dog and cat as if they were my own, giving them the attention, care, and affection they deserve. You can count on me to stick to schedules, follow instructions, and provide a safe, loving environment so your pets feel happy, comfortable, and well-cared-for while you’re away.
“Colin was an amazing sitter for my two cats, he followed all instructions perfectly and even won over my very shy kitten. I will try my best to utilize Colins services for all future vacations since he did so well with my too picky cats. 10/10!”
About: I have two cats of my own who I call my children! Both of them have very different personalities (shy and outgoing), so I’ve adapted to taking care of them based on their differing needs. I disagree with the myth that cats are unfriendly—they are simply independent and need to do things on their own time!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Temple
About: I'll care for your dogs like no other. Whatever your pet needs to be happy, they will get. Walks? Treats? Hugs? Massage? Toys? You name it. Just love dogs and want to give back to the many dogs I have owned and cared for in my life. Have years of experience with pet sitting. I work from home and have plenty of time to care for your pet. I am also available on weekends. Can accommodate many varied schedules. I have a fenced in yard and have over 2200 square feet of home. I have access to many trails for walking, hiking, and swimming. Star, my friendly and loving black lab lives with me and will provide the perfect setting for your dog.
About: I've had a dog for 15 years and have dog sat for many years. I've been walking pets for a year officially, and love every minute of it! I am currently not working at the moment so I am free everyday at anytime before 9pm to walk or watch the cats and dogs. I am able to give pets my full attention when visiting. I do have a fenced yard with no other dogs in the house. And a shy cat.
“Eloise and otter had a blast at Rachael’s. They came home happy and tired after a fun day playing with her pups. Rachael was really easy to communicate with. Would definitely book again in the future!”
About: I have 14+ years experience in the veterinary field. Learning about animal behaviors, preventative care and physical health is a passion of mine. I am a very well rounded animal enthusiast that loves to stay busy. Some of my extracurriculars include training my Australian shepherd, whether it’s dock diving, agility or overall obedience. I will hold each pet to standards that support good manners, so some training may be associated with my services. I strive to exercise your fur babies intellectually as well as physically. I am very detailed oriented, and consider myself very observant. I’m not afraid to communicate and ask questions regarding your pets’ needs. I would be caring for your pet around my typical work schedule, which is M-F ~8-6pm, but I can always drop in mid day during lunch. Communicating your expectations so I may practice proper time management is important for a successful and stress free pet sitting job. I have a very well socialized 5yo male, 50lb, Australian shepherd, Oshie and he loves to play. Additionally I can provide walks, and play sessions. Hikes are also supported.
“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!”
“It was obvious to me that she was having a real good time with not only the other dogs but the children as well which makes me happy to know that she was well taken care of. Thank you so much for taking good care of my fur baby”
“Brooke is so kind and sweet and my pup loved her - I definitely felt like he was in good hands while she watched him for the day. She is quickly responsive to text messages as well. Great experience!”
“Amazing as always- Ryder always has the best time with Amanda! He jumped out of the car this morning so excited. And available last minute which is so nice when last minute things come up. She is the best, and I appreciate her so much 😊”
About: I have not been an official sitter before, but I have been a dog owner for 20 years and know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. Dogs are family, and I understand the importance of making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. We do not currently have any fur friends at home, so we would be honored to share that love with your dog. I provide a calm environment, pay attention to routines and needs, and communicate clearly so you can feel confident while you’re away. Because we do not currently have pets at home, we have room in our routine to give your dog plenty of love, attention, and companionship. We can be intentional about feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest, and we know how important it is to keep dogs on a routine that helps them feel safe and settled. We know dogs are family, so we care for them with patience, attention, and genuine love. Our home is currently without other pets, which allows us to offer a calm environment and focused care. We will follow your instructions closely, pay attention to your dog’s comfort and behavior, and communicate clearly so you know your pet is safe and well cared for.
“Jodie is absolutely amazing! Booked her last minute for two days of daycare for my puppy and she excepted right away. Her updates and communication throughout the day is absolutely awesome. I could not recommend a better person to watch your pet. I will be continuing to use her for all my daycare and boarding needs! If I could give her 10 stars I would!!”
“Ralph is amazing with dogs. He took care of my dog in a pinch and very last minute and he not only was flexible but also very kind and loving to my dog. My dog took to him right away, dogs know dog lovers! His updates and pictures he shared of my dog throughout the day showed a happy puppy! My dog came home and just slept, he exercised so much with Ralph. I will definitely hire him again for doggy day care and boarding.”
“We’re so grateful for the excellent care that Shankar and family took of our cockapoo Mochi! They were great communicators- sending frequent photo and video updates of Mochi enjoying the beautiful, grassy, fenced-in yard, sniffing chickens (on the other side of the fence), playing with their dog, and snoozing on the couch. It was clear Mochi had a great day and that they are true dog lovers. We’ll definitely be back when we’re in the area and highly recommend them to all!”
About: I love animals and have been around them as long as I can remember. I have extensive experience with dogs and cats, from birth to their last breath. I believe in positive reinforcement training. I am very loving and treat all animals with respect but can be strict when required for safety. With me your babies will feel like they are at home away from home. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am available almost always and your fur babies will have lots of love and company. I have a large grassy yard, and I live near a pond and multiple trails. I also have a Chihuahua mix girl, who is very friendly and loves making new friends.
“Michael was very attentive with my two dogs. He paid attention to detail and cared for their individual needs. I was initially nervous as they are not used to daycare or being with other dogs, but Michael made sure they were okay and had a good time. He sent me photos from their daycare session and made me feel very comfortable that they were in good hands. I really appreciated how he took the time to provide an update of their stay when I picked them up. I will definitely be booking with Michael again!”
About: I have had pets all my life and adore animals. I enjoy taking the time to play with the dogs, and giving them the love and attention that they need. The Townsend Rail Trail is right near my house, and I am able to enjoy multiple daily walks with my 4 year old Jack Russell Terrier, Loki, on that trail. At this time I are unable to accommodate dogs who are aggressive, or dogs who are not house trained. I currently work from Home, so I am able to devote plenty of time to ensuring that the dogs get plenty of love and attention throughout the day. My daughter also enjoy spending time with any dogs that I have at the house giving them extra love and attention throughout the day, always supervised and as appropriate with each dog. My yard is not fenced in, so a dog would be leashed to play in the yard, but I have a dog runs to enable the dogs to enjoy some time running freely in the grass each day. I am able to separate the dogs as needed and for feeding times to ensure that they remain stress free. We are able to accommodate crate training schedules as needed, our dog is only crate trained at night. We are home most of the time, but if we do leave the house we ensure that the dogs are not left alone for extended periods and we are able to seperate them safely while out of the house without crating them unless requested. We do have two cats, but as our dog does not get along with them we have them separated upstairs from the dogs and all pets are 100% safe. The dogs have free run of the downstairs and the cats have free run of the upstairs all day so that everyone remains safe and happy with no issues!
“Our collie, Logan, and ourselves, too loved Kathryn and her big back yard. Her 2 dogs, Arlo and Smoky, were great hosts. Logan had a fun time and came home happy and content. We are looking forward to many more daycares and boarding soon.”

About: I accommodate your pet considering their physical needs as well as your expectation. How far can they walk? Ailment’s? Health conditions? I will factor all these into each walk. I have personal experience with dogs of all ages and sizes as well as cats of all ages and am comfortable understanding their behaviors and body language. I grew up with dogs and my most recent English black lab of 14 years young, who passed in September 2019 due to her weakened hips and other health conditions. I understand the patience and care needed for senior pets. I currently have a tuxedo cat/ Maine coon who fills my days with love. I take great pride in attention and respect to animals of all ages and sizes. Endless attention and positive affirmations will be given to your lovely pets while you are away, texts and pictures will gladly be given, as a photographer I can’t help myself! Currently I have a flexible schedule as I am a freelance pet, landscape and product photographer. Looking to fill my free time with being outdoors while helping busy individuals and their fur family. Fresh water will always be accessible, while honoring their food schedules, as well as their outside schedules and activities. I will always be diligent in locking doors as well as lights left on or whatever preference makes you and your pets comfortable.

“Callie has been amazing at caring for my older nearly 15 yr old Dutch Shepherd, Methos. Normally picking about who walks him/feeds him/gives his meds, Methos warmed up to her within 1 day. Callie's extra care and consideration for his progressing medical needs has assured me Methos is safe and in good hands.”
“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.”

“Samantha is a new dogwalker for us. I met her last week for a meet & greet and she arrived right on time and was available to walk my dog, Brandi, so I could show her the neighborhood walk route. Yesterday, she came to walk Brandi while we were away. It was rainy and windy out, but Samantha was able to get Brandi out for her walk inbetween rain showers. Samantha followed all the directions I gave her and is pleasant and easy to communicate with. She responds to inquiries promptly. She is gentle with Brandi. I will definitely reach out to her again.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently have three 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 three 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.
About: Hello! My name is Liv, a recent college graduate looking to make some more furry friends. I’ve been proudly taking care of my neighbors dog and house for 3 years when they are away for family and business matters. This includes half an hour drop ins and house sittings for up to 2 weeks to not only keep their fur baby company, but take good care of their house as well. I also have a dog and two cats of my own, so I understand the needs and wants of all different types of animals! I currently have a part time job, so my availability is very flexible. I usually work early morning shifts starting at 6AM to about noon. I would prefer to spend more time with your fur baby at your residence rather than mine due to my own animals, I would love to play with animals, take them on walks, etc. Your pets schedule is mine!
About: Hi, I’m Kristen! I’m based in New Hampshire and have been working with animals for several years. I have hands-on experience both personally and in a shelter environment, giving me a strong understanding of a wide range of animal needs and behaviors. I currently have two cats of my own and grew up around dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for both—as well as other types of pets. I’m flexible, dependable, and happy to help with everything from daily care to giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Whether you need a quick check-in, extended care, or just an extra hand, I’m here to help! I work full-time on a second-shift schedule (Thursday through Monday) in Peterborough, but I’m still available for housesitting and pet care with a bit of coordination. Because my schedule is a little unconventional, I may require additional support for certain bookings, but I’m always happy to discuss what works best for you and your pets. At this time, I prefer to provide care in clients’ homes, as I currently rent and have a cat who isn’t accustomed to dogs. This allows me to give your pets the attention they deserve while keeping them comfortable in their own environment.
“We love Colin! He takes such amazing care of my puppy Vincent and my dad said he is always so impressed at how patient and kind he is even when the puppy attitude comes out. Thank you Colin!”
“I have a large, energetic four-year-old dog, and Maggie did a terrific job walking him. She was friendly and punctual, and my pup took to her right away. He came home tired and happy from his walk and is looking forward to seeing her again.”
About: Hi, my name is Molly and I love dogs and cats and would love to help make sure yours get taken out, get fed and get their litter cleaned up while you're away. I have had my golden retriever, Kona, for just over 9 years and he is my best friend. (He recently passed away from liver cancer) I now have 5 cats and sometimes foster for a local non-profit. One of my cats needs a daily oral medication, so I have experience dispensing liquid medication to cats and have also given shots to diabetic cats before. I’m happy to check up on your feline friend while you’re away or house sit and water your plants as well. I miss my Kona man so much, so I’ll spend as much time with your canine as you would like with some extra playtime and cuddles to get my dog fix! I’m in school full time in the fall but have full availability over the summer. When house sitting I won’t be able to be there 24/7 but I’m happy to do an overnight if you need it. I may need to work for 3 hours but never more than that. I have 5 cats at home correctly, so I’d prefer to pet sit in your home as bringing in more pets to our already loud house will be a little chaotic. I follow best practices when walking on the leash and will follow all your care instructions. Be prepared for tons of pictures from me!

“Very thorough when I dropped my dog off Reported back to me the details of his day seemed very capable. Finn was very relaxed and seemed perfectly adjusted in a situation where he normally would be very upset. I pup has severe anxiety separation, but he did great.”
“I’d give 6 stars if i could. We left Sully for an extended period of time for the very first time, which of course came with parental nerves and concerns (especially since my dog has IBD, so he needs the extra care and attention) Ashton was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and understanding of our nerves, but his care for Sully quickly dissolved our nerves of leaving Sully with how well he cared for him. Ashton sent us morning/evening updates, pictures, and took care of our dog as if he was one of his own (so much so that we could tell Sully was sad to leave him!) Ashton is an amazing pup care giver, i’d recommend him 10/10 and will choose him 100x over next time we need a sitter (and i know Sully will be so excited to see him again)”
“Have used Emily once again and couldn’t be more happy with her updates and photos of Forest while I was traveling. Highly recommend her services if you need any kind of pet sitting.”
“Highly recommend!!! We’ve had Phillip watch Yoshi a few times now. This time our flight got delayed & Phillip was kind enough to let him stay an extra night on short notice. Yoshi always come back exhausted. Thank you so much!!!”
“Emily was AMAZING! Our Gus had a great time! It was obvious that Emily not only took VERY good care of him but he was treated to his all-time favorite game of fetch and cooling off in the kiddie pool multiple times! He came home happy and tired. :) We highly recommend Emily, she goes above and beyond expectations, and we will definitely use her again! Thanks Emily!”
“Our big lovable black lab had a wonderful time. He's very social and enjoyed being around people and puppies. We appreciated the daily updates. Brooke's services were of great value to us. Thanks again.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Vanessa was great! She treated my girls like they were her own, which is exactly what I was looking for in a sitter. She kept me updated on how they were doing with plenty of pictures. My girls were treated to many walks, plenty of play time, and cuddles. I’m so relieved to have found Vanessa!”
“Riley's stay with Kate was just what we needed! She is wonderful and warm. It was Riley's first time with a dog sitter. Needless to say, I was nervous about leaving him. Kate made this very easy for us. She was the best decision for Riley and us. Riley loves her. In fact, he did not want to leave her when I picked him up a week later. We were free of worries the entire time she took care of him. Her check-ins and responses to our inquiries were wonderful too! She is the perfect dog sitter for us. I highly recommend Kate. Thank you Kate!”
“Shankar and his family were very accommodating with our dogs needs and took great care of her while keeping us well informed of everything that went on each day and sent plenty of pictures. Would definitely board with them again!”
“My dog, Calvin, was well cared for and seemed happy when I picked him up. Yingying provided several updates and videos and was responsive when I reached out well taking care of my dog which I appreciated.”
“Julia and Connor were incredible with my pup! They were flexible and so communicative with lots of pictures and updates. Cheese had a full day of play and attention, and came home zonked. I’ll definitely book with them again!”
“Matt is absolutely amazing. He really took care of my dog during the 40 days we were away. He sent pics and videos daily and he's really responsive to questions and requests. My dog had a good time with Matt. I would definitely recommend Matt to anyone who needs boarding service.”
“Amanda and her family (including their awesome dog) took care of our pup as though she were their own. We received pictures and updates throughout her stay. We had great peace of mind knowing our little dog was receiving such ample love and attention. Our dog looks forward to a future stay with Amanda!”
