“John was very tentative to our dog . We loved his positive energy . We can tell he's a true animal lover . He was so easy going and flexible when we had to change our drop off off time last minute . Love how him and his son made our dog feel loved :) Photos were adorable of her he sent ! Thanks so much :)”

“Teresa was wonderful with our dog, who can be a bit nervous in new situations. He settled in quickly thanks to her calm approach, and it’s clear that he was comfortable and well cared for. We’re very grateful and would happily book with Teresa again!”

“Amanda was great with my dog and provided a wonderful home away from home for my dog. I already booked a longer stay for an upcoming trip and feel comfortable knowing that my dog will have kind people to watch her and nice dogs to hang out with throughout her stay. Amanda sent updates and photos which was appreciated!”

“Darien and her family took amazing care of my pup and we are so grateful. We will absolutely be back! She worked with me for a pre meet and greet for myself and my pup. She got my dog to be more comfortable with her food and her surroundings in a new place with ease.”


“Mel always has such fun with Milena and her pup, Lola. Milena is wonderful with Mel and takes him on long walks. We are relieved to know Mel is safe and happy while we are away. Thank you, Milena!”


“Our dog Happy had a great stay with Brianna. It was the first time we ever boarded our dog, so we were nervous at first, but Brianna was very welcoming and our dog warmed up to her quickly. This was our quick test to make sure our dog (and we) could handle the separation for a short period of time, as a bridge to boarding her for a longer stretch of time. Our dog passed due to Brianna's hospitality, so we are much more comfortable boarding her for a longer stay with Brianna very soon! Thanks so much, Brianna and family!”

“This is our 2nd time having Tracy and Steven take care of our golden. This time it was just for the day. They take great care of our dog and are excellent communicators.”

“MAISHA IS THE BEST 🥰 Her service is absolutely exceptional, and I recommend her 100% 😉. She looked after my Max for the first time; I had been searching for someone trustworthy for over three years until I found her, and we couldn't have left Max in better hands. Her professionalism and love for animals were evident from the very start—she has two pets of her own, so Max was happy hanging out with his little friends. She was incredibly attentive the whole time, keeping us updated with constant photos and messages, which gave us huge peace of mind while we were away—and that peace of mind was exactly what I was looking for. Her communication and dedication are impeccable. If you’re looking for someone completely trustworthy to care for your pet, don’t hesitate to choose her; I recommend her 100%... We will definitely be using her services again...”

“Roman loves staying with Caitlin and we love when he stays there too! Caitlin always communicates and sends updates and we can tell she truly cares for and loves our dog. Roman always comes back happy and content after playing with the resident dog :) we will continue to book with Caitlin for future needs!”


“I am very thankful and appreciative for your care and love for my dog. I really enjoyed receiving photos and update while I was away, that really eased my mind. I highly recommend !”


“Amy was great. This was our first time leaving our very shy dog with someone, and we were confident she was in great hands and received lots of love. We would use Amy again without hesitation.”

“David & Angelica have the perfect haven for our fur babies, and Tux thoroughly enjoyed himself. Every picture they sent he was really smiling! They were both very kind and friendly. I'll definitely book them again and highly recommend them for boarding.”

“Jillian was absolutely wonderful! She was so warm and inviting, and Rosie took to her immediately. She kept me updated throughout my trip, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Rosie came home happy, healthy, and comfortable, and I could tell she had been very well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Jillian and would happily trust her with Rosie again!”


“Cheyenne was very patient with Jeremiah. He was hiding most of the time he was with her. Yet she still would find him and send us pictures daily. I would definitely use her again in the future.”


“We left our cockapoo, Oliver, with Dee for 5 days and she made it seem like we were never apart. She sent constant updates and pictures and is overall a very sweet person. We had a meet and greet before Oliver’s stay and right away I could tell my dog would be in great hands and have good company with her 2 friendly dogs. Dee was very accommodating and even gave a sweet doggie gift basket when we picked Oliver up! Book with Dee and you won’t be disappointed!”

“Yuberkis is an amazing sitter! My dog Louis has been under her care several times and we have had a great experience each time. Yuberkis is very kind and responsive during your pets stay. I always have peace of mind leaving Louis because I know he is in good hands!”

“We are so pleased with the care our dog received while staying with Laura and Daniel. They treated our dog with kindness and compassion. We are beyond grateful for your wonderful service. Thank you.”

“Caitlin was so great!! She was super quick to respond and attentive to all of my cat’s needs. My cat is timid, but Caitlin was so patient and caring. Caitlin also made sure to send lots of photos and detailed reports. Would definitely recommend!”

“Tina went above and beyond during her cat sitting visits with tons of photos of our cat and significant play time. She followed all instructions and was very communicative about when she would be arriving each day. Highly recommend!”


“Once again I loved having Kyra check in on my cat while I was out of town! She is an excellent communicator and always follows instructions! I know my girl is in good hands whenever Kyra stops by! I never have to worry, I really appreciate her!”


“Amy was a wonderful caretaker for Maverick! Made several calls and sent pictures of him to let us know how he was doing throughout our entire vacation! Will definitely use her services again the next time we go away!”


“Cathy was great. Very attentive to the specifics for our cats, and had great communication with us while traveling, even reached out on a couple of things that weren’t pet-related. We will definitely request her again!”


“Lindsey was so on top of Nico's care! There were things that she brought to our attention before we could even follow up with her on what to expect. Such a huge help. She really knows her animals and what is needed to take care of them.”


“We truly appreciated the thoughtful nature of Mary Ann and the care with which she approached our scaredy cats. She arrived on time, took care of the cats and kept us updated along the way. She took the initiative to spent some quiet time with them allowing the cats to trust her and get pets while we were away. She has a very calming personality, she is respectful of cats and understands that pet parents can be anxious leaving their babies home alone. She sent us multiple pictures at each visits and appropriately provided updates. This allowed us to be at ease knowing our cats were well cared for by Mary Ann. I highly appreciate Mary Ann and would love to work with her in the future.”


“Zoe did an amazing job caring for our two foster kittens and two adult cats over a long weekend. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and a clean, organized setup. It gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in such capable hands. We would happily recommend Zoe to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”

“Melissa was so sweet to our cat Hazel whom immediately took to her. Our road flooded and was closed due to a downed tree and she still came to feed her! I literally can't imagine someone nicer and more responsible.”


“I had the opportunity to arrange a few days of care for my beloved cat with Hira, and it was a wonderful experience. My cat needs special attention due to an ear infection. The care involves administering a list of medications at different times of the day, which Hira follows accurately. She also sends daily updates with pictures and videos. We look forward to booking our next vacation this summer and plan to reserve a week with Hira to care for our beloved cat while we're away.”

“Katie was a wonderful cat sitter! Our two girls were obviously well taken care of and loved! Previously when we would leave them we'd get a bit of the cold shoulder when we got home because they were mad at us for leaving, but not this time so obviously they really enjoyed spending time with Katie and her fiance. We got pictures every day, she was easy to communicate with and very reliable. We'll definitely ask Katie to come back again next time we're out of town!”

“Cheryl was AMAZING with my kitties! She went way above and beyond with updates and photos and even took all of the litter box clean ups out of the house! I will definitely be booking again in July. Thank you so much Cheryl!!”

“Jonny did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats for a few days! There were no issues while we were gone and he kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. Jonny’s calm demeanor provided enough safety for even our shyest cat to come out and interact with him! Would definitely book again!”


“Alison took great care of our pets, sent thorough updates and made us feel totally at ease. It means a lot to be able to trust someone in your home when you’re away. We could not be more appreciative and will 100% book her again.”


“Victoria is amazing! She gave Bernard the best care and comfort while we were away, from snuggles to nutrition and a clean environment. I highly recommend her for your cats or dogs.”

About: Since establishing my pet sitting business nine years ago, I’ve cared for cats of many breeds. Cats have different personalities, just like dogs, and it’s important for the pet parent to provide me with information about their furry friends’ behavior, feeding habits and tendencies so I can provide the best care possible.
“Kristina was great with my energetic pup Millie! Was able to schedule a drop in visit quickly and was super responsive. Millie loved Kristina and she made sure to update with photos and a full report! Thank you Kristina!”

“A day for Pip with Amanda and Max is always a great day. They keep an impeccably clean and dog friendly house. And the gorgeous upscale neighborhood has quiet safe streets, so I know Pip is safe on his walks.”

“My girls had so much fun that when we started driving away, she began winning! Tracy and Steven were very welcoming and treated her like family. They sent pictures all day and kept in touch effectively. I'm definitely grateful to them. I will book again, and you should too! Thank you again Tracy & Steven. Now my girl will sleep the night away!”


“Eunice was so great with Mocha. He’s a senior so he needs a little more care and attention and Eunice had a great handle on it. He looked like he had such a great time!”
“A wonderful experience! Communication was excellent (including photos and videos). Doug has created a calm, well thought out space that can accommodate multiple dogs - including ways to give dogs their own space if needed. Thank you!”

“Darien is incredible! Right off the bat when we first met her we got an excellent first impression. She will care for your pet like her own. Kind, compassionate and loving toward our dog. Darien is very flexible and reliable, which made our Thanksgiving gathering less stressful for the day. Thank you Darien for making life a bit easier during the Holidays!”


“Great experience! Our energetic standard poodle pup was treated well and had fun with Manuel. Pick up and drop off was very convenient We look forward to using Manuel’s services again in the future!”

“Outstanding service! I needed a last-minute backup sitter when our regular sitter wasn't available. Karen responded -and continued to respond throughout our interaction- immediately and thoughtfully. She asked excellent questions at our "meet-n-greet" and our pup immediately warmed to her and her well-kept home. I wasn't able to tell her exactly when I would be back to pick up due to lack of cell service but she took it in stride and replied "No problem" when I was finally able to communicate. Karen is new to this site and I'm confident she will be racking up 5-star reviews in no time. I will definitely use her again and tell my friends.”

About: Hi! I’m Marina, a dancewear designer and a proud mom to a lovable 6-year-old dog. My love for animals brings me so much happiness, and I truly enjoy their company! I am mainly working in dance industry but do have part time to spend with dogs since I have my own and i have a lot of friends that have pets I just love to cuddle with them, walk them and play. I will prioritize the unique needs of each animal, recognising that every pet is special and deserves tailored care. I strive to create a comforting and personalized experience, ensuring that every pet feels valued and well- cared for.
“Andrew is top rated for a reason! Totally worth the cost. He’s got a great space perfect for a dog to free roam and family all committed to the care of your little one. Professional, accommodating, attentive, and great with updates / communication. New to the area and was nervous leaving my little one with a new care giver for an extended period for work travel. Andrew gave me tons of peace of mind. Definitely recommend!”

About: I have a 1yr old husky. As you know huskys are full of energy 100% of the time which requires patience and alot of attention and love. These are the 3 main factors when caring for a Puppy/Dog! Home boarding: My home boarding will consist of 1 walk every 2 hours, play time (30min) before and after each walk. Usually after the 2nd walk & playtime my husky Cheif takes a nap. After naptime it's back to another play session and our 3rd walk of the day. Depending on your wishes I usually feed my dog 3times a day. Day care: will mirror the above home boarding. We want every dog and puppy to have an amazing time at our cozy home. There will be lost of toys and even mental stimulation for the dogs brain, smart dog games. We would love to house/doggysit you puppy/dog today.
“Geoff & Family took such great care of our dog, sending regular updates throughout the day. They are true animal lovers with a great set up to properly host dogs and make them feel at home!”

“This was our first time with Kyra. We had an all day event and needed someone to come take out Milo and feed him. Kyra was wonderful to work with from the meet and greet to today. Milo can be reactive towards other dogs and Kyra was very knowledgeable and understanding of the situation. She sent plenty of photos and Milo absolutely loved her! This was my first time using someone to feed Milo, and I felt incredibly comfortable seeing how responsive and caring Kyra was. We will definitely be booking her again!”

“Brian has been spectacular. His schedule is open to whenever I need and both of his dogs get along with him well. He is personable and extremely accommodating. I highly recommend Brian to walk, house-sit, or board your dog.”

About: I have grown up and taken care of dog my entire life! I love playing with animals and making sure they are getting the love and attention they deserve! I am a college athlete with lots of free time to take care of animals. I am an athlete and love going on walks and playing with animals! I am good with animals and know how to take care of them as well as make sure they are behaving while their owners are away.
“Jonny is absolutely amazing!! He is so kind, professional, flexible and (most importantly) incredible with our dog. We feel very lucky to have found him and know that our dog is always in the best hands with him!”

“Briana has been an absolute lifesaver! I booked her on very short notice when a work trip came up unexpectedly, and she was incredibly accommodating and easy to coordinate with. My dog, Phoebe, is quite shy and reactive, which can be challenging for anyone new, but Briana handled her with so much patience, care, and understanding. Knowing Phoebe was in such capable and reliable hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely be using Briana again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker!”

“Tracy and Steve showed their love of dogs to my dog, from the first walk. Very quick to respond to our needs. Reliable. Personable. I felt confident with them right from the start.”

“Yifei communicated clearly and followed my special requests. She arrived on time even though it was raining. My dog is usually anxious around new people but Yifei made him feel comfortable. Definitely recommend.”

“Alena was fantastic. Our dog loved her at first sight. She was punctual and helpful. Alena also kept us totally informed and updated about Maya’s walks. It is a pleasure to know that we have someone to count on when we’re away.🐾🐾🐾”

“Allison was able to help us with our pets last minute when our usual walker had to cancel. She was so friendly and even made the time to stop over the day prior to introduce herself, grab the house key and meet our dog. It’s a bit unsettling handing over your life to someone you just met, but she gained our trust and confidence in just a few minutes. Would highly recommend and will definitely use again. Thank you, Allison!”

About: I have had two cats all my life which I have cared for, fed and changed litter for. I also have experience with walking and caring for dogs. I am free anytime from here up until the 16th of August which is when I will be going back to college, but I will be free when winter break comes around. My cats are house cats so it is very easy for me to keep them safe. I shoo them away from anything dangerous or anything they shouldn’t be messing with quickly. As for dogs, I always keep an eye on them and have a tight grip on their leash when walking them so they don’t run off.

“Cole is a true professional who genuinely cares for dogs and animals of all kinds. From the very beginning, he has been reliable, attentive, and incredibly easy to work with. My dog, Lucky, absolutely loves her walks with him and gets excited every time he arrives, which says a lot about the bond and trust he builds with the pets he cares for. Cole is caring, friendly, patient, and always brings a positive attitude. He treats every dog as if they were his own and takes the time to make sure they are comfortable, safe, and happy. As a pet owner, it gives me real peace of mind knowing Lucky is in such capable and compassionate hands. I truly appreciate the level of professionalism and genuine kindness Cole brings to his work. I would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring dog walker to care for their cherished pet.”

About: I've been a dog lover since I was a wee lad, and I used to constantly check out the same informative dog book from my school library until eventually they just let me buy it. I still have it! I've fostered eight dogs and four cats, and my dad currently has two dogs who he trusts to sit for when he goes on work trips or vacations. I have horse experience as well, so if I can care for a horse, I sure can care for your pet. I'm also learning pet grooming, slowly but surely! If you have a well-mannered, not-too-big doggy that doesn't mind the water, I'd be happy to bathe them for you. I'm still looking for a more stable job, so as it stands, my schedule is completely open. I'm not a super big morning person, but I'm willing to sacrifice my extra hours of sleep for your pet! When I petsit at my dad's house, I barely even leave a trace I was there. I'd say I'm quite neat, and I may very well end up cleaning your house if I think I've "made a mess", anyway. LOL I adhere to walk/feed schedules exactly, so please make sure to provide me with a detailed one!

“Victoria feels like she’s part of our family now! She’s so helpful with our mini goldendoodle Lily. Lily loves Victoria so much she cries at the door when I tell her she’s coming! We work with Victoria on a weekly basis :)”

“Kristina is great as always! She was very helpful with taking my dog Hank on walks while I was on vacation and he loved his walks with her! I will definitely be using Kristina again in the future and can’t recommend her enough!”

He was super friendly, answered all my calls and text immediately. Send me pictures of my fur babies.

Hope your available in September lol but dead serious 🤣”

“Val is a fantastic reliable dog sitter and took great care of our French bulldog over a long weekend. He was well cared for and she sent us multiple updates throughout his stay. I would definitely recommend anyone else to use her and we are looking forward to booking her again!”


About: My loving pet sitting services comes with long walks, access to my fenced in back yard, and endless cuddles and play time with my family (including 3 kids ages 10, 10, 13). I can set up gates to restrict access if needed but I generally give dogs full run of my first floor, including sofas, so I generally limit day care and overnights to fully potty-trained dogs with zero aggression. I don't accept dogs from multiples homes in 1 stay but am open to more than 1 dog from the same home coming together. I work from home and my kids walk themselves to school and sports, so I'm very flexible to take your dog out to the backyard as often as needed, and we can also do several short walks and/or a longer walk, depending on what they like. With play time and cuddles thrown in throughout the day, of course! I have a 6' high fenced in back yard, however we do have the occasional rabbit or ground hog digging under the fence, so we can do a perimeter check before letting small dogs run free, or I can keep them leashed for potty breaks. It's totally up to you if you want them to run around freely or not, but we are always out there supervising.

“Alexandra was great. We had a last minute change that resulted in us needing a last minute sitter to take in our anxious, senior dog for 2 days. She took him in and helped him with his medications, dealt with his separation anxiety, and was very kind to him and his difficulties. She sent plenty of updates and gave him plenty of exercise, love, and attention. She treated him as if he was her own and we will very much use her again when the need arises.”

“It was our dog's first night away from us and we feel so fortunate to have found Shaun S. Shaun and his family treated Betty with such love and took so much time to understand our dog, Betty's, routine and personality prior to her visit. It was so nice to receive so many pictures and even videos during her stay... he kept us posted the whole time. When I arrived to pick her up, Betty's tail was wagging as she "introduced" me to Shaun - along with his son and wife. What a lovely family and the perfect home to leave Betty. We already booked 2 more stays!”

“Carolina took amazing care of our 1 year old cavapoo! She has a beautiful dog Daisy who was so friendly and playful and other dogs for her to play with too. We got daily updates while our dog was in her care - with pictures too!!! Her whole family was so wonderful - we would definitely book Carolina again when we travel!”

“Sue was very kind and interested in learning about my dog to make the transition of care very easy. I got daily updates with photos of my pup where she seemed happy and well cared for! Will definitely leave my dog with her again- thank you Sue!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent service! They took great care of my dog and treated him like family. I felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

“Kody had the best time. The family was absolutely amazing with Kody. He had the best time and made lots of new friends and was well taken care of. Received tons of pictures and videos of Kody's new adventures. Thank you so much, we will definitely be booking again with this family.”

“Andrew took great care of our senior Pitty Sommy, he immediately struck us as very friendly and felt like extended family throughout the whole process. His home is beautiful with a gated yard for plenty of space and grass for our Sommy. Andrew made sure to update us with photos throughout the stay, and made sure Sommy was well taken cared for. We will definitely book with Andrew again, without hesitation.”


“Jonathan was amazing and made us feel so comfortable while we were away. He was really responsive and knowledgeable! Took the stress away while being away and knew Mia was in good hands. Would recommend and will be using him again.”

“Pia’s stay with Charles was great. He is an awesome person who truly loves the pets he cares for. He shared pictures time to time keeping us informed of Pia’s well being. I am grateful to have met Charles and highly recommend him. We are definitely returning next time Pia needs a break from us 😊”
