“I’m so glad I chose this sitter for Buddy! They gave me prompt and detailed updates exactly the way I’d requested, along with plenty of pictures that really put me at ease while I was away. I could tell from the photos and messages that Buddy was happy and well taken care of. They’re such sweet, responsible people, and I could truly relax knowing my little one was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“I was a bit skeptical using Rover, and a bit nervous to leave Dilon. Paloma explained the process and was very helpful. I loved that Dilon stayed in good hands and I was able to have peace of mind. Paloma kept me informed of Dilon’s day to day, she would answer promptly to the messages and would also send pictures regularly. Thank you again for taking good care of Dilon.”
About: I have years of experience in the caretaking of animals and I’ve always done it with love, my family and friends always trusted me to care for their pets since I was younger and i’ve always enjoyed it. I love every part of taking care of animals whether its grooming, bathing oral medications administration etc… Animals will always hold a special place in my heart. My schedule is very flexible, I usually stay home and do online school work most of the time, so I’m available really anytime on weekdays and sometimes on weekends. I will care for the pets by making sure they are well fed, kept clean and healthy. I live in a very safe neighborhood with a nice park down the street. I have an animal friendly household with fences outside to ensure that the pets wont wander off.
“Carolina took such good care of our two dogs. They had so much fun playing with her dog as well. She sent daily updates about how they were doing which was perfect since we were so far away from home for over a week. We really appreciated her taking care of them. We highly recommend her loving care.”
“Our Paris had a grand old time at Miss Karla’s. She played, took walks, explored, was well taken cared of and I got reports daily on Paris’s daily activities. I recommend Miss Karla one hundred percent!”
“I’ve had some cat sitters before, but Xunzi is definitely the best! She is responsible, professional, the real animal lover! She gave my cat, Tobi, a kind loving care; Tobi was so comfortable staying at her place. Thank you so much, Xunzi!”
“Christine was such a fantastic caretaker for our miniature schnauzer! Her two dogs were friendly and kept him busy all week and they looked like they had a lot of fun. I was sent plenty of fun pics and videos throughout my time away. Would definitely book again!”
“Excellent sitter! Amazing communication before and during Moira’s stay. Caring and compassionate towards Moira. I would recommend to everyone to use Michelle is excellent you will not be disappointed. What I loved the most is all the photos and videos sent to me. Moira. Looked happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend Michelle!!!”
“I’ve used her service multiple times and it has always been a delight to work with her. Incredibly flexible and my dog gets excited once she realizes where I’m dropping her off. I cannot say enough how much I appreciate having met her to take care of my dog.”
“Evelyn and her son are amazing. They took care of our dog just like I and my family do. Appreciated the daily updates with the photos and videos to share how our dog was doing. Also her communications are always quick. Our dog enjoyed spending time with her and her son, came home very happy!!”
“Enis did a great job taking care of our beloved Zero. I was nervous since I’ve never boarded for more than a night. But he sent lots of pictures and responded to my texts very quickly which kept me and my family happy. Everything worked out and I would recommend Enis and would use his services again.”
“They were extremely accommodating with our pick up and drop off schedule. I have used river maybe five or six times in the past, and that last time I use them I had a very bad experience with poor communication and people were so polite and had a beautiful property and kept in constant communication with plenty of pictures and when it was time for me to pick up my dog, we had a lot of traffic and we’re over an hour late and they were happy to oblige. I will definitely leave my stellar with him anytime and I plan to leave her with them in the future anytime I need a sitter. They sent me lots of pictures. They even went as far as printing out some pictures for us, and they gave Stella a little bandanna like she would have when she left a groomer. They were very polite and had a great backyard, and my dog was very happy when I picked her up, so I know that they treated her well. They are definitely an A+ sitter. I highly recommend them and I have used the multiple times was good and bad and I had nothing but good things to say about them.”
“I know my dog has found a home away from home! Maisha was consistently sending me updates and pictures. Made sure my dog was well taken care of and having fun. I was happy to see pictures of him with other poo dogs! I would definitely recommend”
“Experienced dog family! Took great care of our big boy! Sent lots of updates and pictures. I have a big boy who loves to spend the days outside and their fenced in yard gave him lots of room to explore! They are real dog people and I felt 100% confident my dog was in good hands!”
“Moonyoung and Sunhuyung were fantastic! They were very responsive and I was able to set up a meet and greet with them before booking. Communication was great and I received daily updates from them with lots of pictures. Brody was comfortable with them right away and adjusted to his normal routine from the get go. Would definitely recommend them and use them again.”
“Gargi & Sourav have been absolutely amazing. One of our furry kids was a bit nervous as I was dropping them off, so we were a bit nervous for them, but they have completely put out worries aside. The provided frequent daily updates on how our dogs were doing, brining up any questions or concerns along the way. Our dogs also really got along with their pets as well which made us happy that our dogs are also making friends. The dog park being right next to their apartment building is also a massive plus that helps with both social and energy levels of our dogs. They had a great stay and we as the owners had a relaxing worry free time. Would definitely book them again.”
“OMG Jess is the best! We had never left Ringo in years with anyone and COVID def kept us all home anyways the last 18-20 months. We found Jess via a friend and I am beyond happy that we found Jess. She cared for Ringo like her own. We got pictures of him through out the day and updates. It made leaving him for the weekend a lot more bearable knowing he was in loving and caring hands. Ringo is also older so easily stressed and tired but Jess kept him safe and happy. We are so fortunate to have found Jess and her beautiful dogs That made Ringo feel at home ❤️?? I woukd recommend Jess to anyone any day without any hesitation.”
“Teresa was absolutely wonderful, we are so grateful that we found her! We actually found her very last minute and she was wonderful, kind, super accommodating, and so wonderful to our dog! Her correspondence was great and we knew our dog was in the best care the whole time we were away! Highly recommend her, she is lovely!”
“Kevin and his wife are amazing! They were able to watch Sadie for a long weekend even though it was last minute. Sadie is super shy and they were so patient with her while she took her time to warm up. Having Bubbles there helped her so much and they became absolute besties! Overall I felt really good knowing that Sadie was safe and comfortable with them :)”

“Andrew was so helpful taking care of my cats. Very communicative and had a great attention to detail. He sent me lots pictures so I wouldn’t have to worry while I was away.”
About: I moved to New Jersey three years ago, and since then I’ve been caring for cats for multiple families through drop-ins and overnight stays. I make sure every cat is safe, comfortable, and cared for—whether that means feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving medications if needed, or just spending quiet time with them so they don’t feel alone while you’re away. I understand cats have their own personalities—some are playful, some are independent, and some just want their space—and I always adjust to whatever makes them feel most comfortable. Over the past few years, I’ve built experience providing reliable, attentive care, making sure each cat feels calm, safe, and stress-free while you’re gone. Welcome to The Zoomies Club 🐾 — where even the quietest cats are cared for with patience, respect, and love. My goal is always to give you peace of mind knowing your cat is safe, comfortable, and well looked after.
“Christina was amazing! She gave me copious notes so I knew my very shy furbaby was all right. And she left the pet area so clean. I would definitely book her again! No question.”
“Nicole took amazing care of our cat while we were out of town. She was very communicative and made sure our cat felt loved and cared for while we were away. This is the 2nd time we’ve hired her, but it sure won’t be the last!”
About: As a dedicated cat lover with years of pet care experience, I understand that cats thrive on routine, safety, and a gentle touch. I provide attentive drop-in visits tailored to your cat’s personality—refilling food and water, cleaning litter boxes, and ensuring they have enriching playtime and cuddles. Whether your cat needs a quiet observer or a fun companion, I’m committed to providing a calm, reliable presence—so you can have peace of mind knowing your kitty is in loving hands.
“Lillian did a great job for my cat. She uploaded a lot of videos while she was taking care of the cat. While my cat is shy and usually afraid of new people, he quickly got along with Lillian.”
“My cat Salem is super shy around most people but warmed up quickly to Victoria and adored her. She was the perfect drop in sitter! She is very caring and did an excellent job making sure all of Salem’s needs were met while I was away. Victoria is a gem I would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Geoff took excellent care of our two cats, Dexter and DeeDee, while we were away on vacation for a week. He was reliable, followed all of our instructions, and kept us updated after each visit with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book Geoff again. Highly recommended!”
“This was my first time taking my babygirl (cat) to any boarding or sitting services and while my baby was not the nicest Angelica was great! She made everything about the experience nice and easy, she sent me pictures and updates and responded almost instantly. I told my cat to get used to it ‘cause we’re coming back! 🖤”
About: I’ve always loved cats as I have a feral cat. I genuinely enjoy spending time with cats of all personalities—from playful and social to shy and independent. I understand that every cat has their own routine and preferences, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, cuddles (if they allow them!), administering medication, or simply keeping them company, I treat every cat like they’re part of my own family. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for.
“Enis went above and beyond. He was completely reliable and very generous with his time. He had a natural rapport with my cat and I would absolutely use his services again. Thanks, Enis! :)”
About: From the many years of having a Labrador I have learned many ways of taking care of a dog especially since mine is very wild. Recently a few years ago have also gotten a miniature schnauzer and I enjoy the amount of love I receive from both my pets. I also have much experience taking care of dogs from my sisters German shepherd that she has had the past years. I have a huge love for animals and I aim to provide the best care for any animal I am around. My time volunteering at the animal shelter in my home town has also shown me how different types of breeds act and how to calm them down. They also showed me the basic care that cats and dogs need. I tend to be the guy that plays with the dog in social gatherings mainly because I want to have a solid connection with them. The other pets in my pictures that are not mine are dogs I have cared for and found/rescued I can care for pets almost anytime before 4pm and I can stay the night with them almost very night. Of course a proper 1 day notice is appreciated I make sure to know rules the owners may have specific to their pets needs. Aside from that making sure they are in a comfortable environment with water and fed at their meal times. If allowed , walks too so they can use the bathroom and for exercise.
“Best pet service!! I’m truly happy I found Diane and was able to have her taken care of my two kitties while I was gone for vacation. She is very patient and caring for my little ones and has given me the comfort of knowing they were in good hands while I was away! Will totally rebook her on for next getaway ☺️”
“Hi Jess You did an amazing job with Gracie despite her reluctancy to make friends. We were able to enjoy some days with family worry free thanks to You!!Great experience. Jess definitely has a talent for photography. I loved all the pictures she posted and saved them all. Top notch service!”
“Amelia was absolutely wonderful with Luli. From the beginning, she was kind, attentive, and super easy to communicate with. Luli can be a little reserved around new people, but she warmed up to Amelia almost right away. Amelia sent thoughtful updates, photos, and videos. It was clear she wasn’t just doing the basics but was actually spending quality time with Luli, making sure she was comfortable, well-fed, and had her usual little routines. I came home and Luli was relaxed and happy and the apartment was clean. I’Il definitely be reaching out to Amelia again next time I’m away. Highly, highly recommend!!”

“I was honestly very nervous using an online dog sitter for the first time because my biggest fear was being scammed or something happening to my dog. But from the moment I dropped my dog off, Paloma made me feel completely at ease. She communicated with me throughout the entire day, sent plenty of pictures and updates, and was always quick to respond. It was so comforting seeing how loved, safe, and cared for my dog was while I was away. You can truly tell she cares about the animals she watches. I’m so grateful for the experience, and I would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
About: I have extensive experience working in Veterinary Emergency Care, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safety, and how to recognize subtle changes in a pet’s well-being. I provide personalized boarding in my home and accept only one family at a time, allowing me to give each pet individualized attention in a calm, low-stress environment. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, high-energy dogs, anxious pets, and dogs that require additional monitoring or support. I am also happy to reinforce training and routines that owners are already working on at home. I understand that being away from home can be stressful for some pets, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine and make their stay feel as familiar and comfortable as possible. Whether your dog sleeps in a crate, on a dog bed, on the couch, or in bed with their family, I will follow the routine you have established at home whenever possible. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, secure, and cared for while you’re away. I provide personalized care and keep my schedule flexible so that the pets in my care receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I rarely leave the house for more than an hour, and only occasionally for up to two hours if I need to run an errand. This allows me to provide regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, companionship, and plenty of supervision. Because I only host one family at a time, I am able to give each pet my full attention and maintain the routine they are used to at home. Whether your dog enjoys playing, going for walks, relaxing on the couch, sleeping in a crate, or curling up on the bed, I do my best to make their stay feel comfortable, familiar, and stress-free. Providing a safe, clean, and comfortable environment is extremely important to me. My home is organized with pet safety in mind, and I strive to create a peaceful setting where dogs can relax and feel at home. Communication is also a priority, and owners can expect regular photos, videos, and updates throughout their pet’s stay.
“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!”
“I cannot thank Karla enough for providing an amazing care to our dog, Miley. I had to book her as last min booking while we were traveling and we couldn’t leave our dog for long hours at the hotel. Karla sent us numerous photos throughout the day when she was taking care of Miley from 9am-5pm. She was informative on how our dog was settling in, how she was spending time, or taking treats etc. She made our travel stress free because we knew Miley was getting a gray care. I would highly recommend her to any dog owners 🙌🏻👏🏻❤️”
“Gargi and Sourav are fantastic with my dog. Waldo seemed to get comfortable instantly and their dog Archie was a great company for my dog as well!”

I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to get to know them and follow your care instructions to a tee. Let me help make your time away stress-free—for both you and your pet! Pet care is my full-time focus, and working from home gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether it's morning walks, midday playtime, or evening routines, I’m able to stay present and responsive to each pet’s needs. My remote work lifestyle means I can offer dependable care, accommodate last-minute requests, and maintain a calm, reassuring environment for pets.

“Nancy was AMAZING! It was the first time my dog Benji was going to be watched by someone we didn’t know personally. My dog is 12 years old and a little stand off-ish with strangers and reactive at times. She listened to everything I told her about him. She was super responsive and honestly, my dog was so comfortable. The first day I was super nervous leaving him, but she sent me photos frequently and assured me everything was fine. After the first day, my dog was super excited to go to Nancy’s. He would walk right up to the house and that is the best feeling to have as a pet owner who is leaving their dog with someone for the first time. Her home is literally doggy heaven, she has a fenced in backyard, a sun room, and 2 dog rooms. She was super accommodating and I’ll definitely be using Nancy’s services again. She was a life saver!”
“We had a great experience with Chris! Milo was well cared for, and it was clear he was comfortable and happy during his stay. Communication was excellent throughout the day, with updates and photos that gave us peace of mind. The meet and greet process was easy, Chris was very kind, and attentive to Milo’s needs. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter! 🐾💕”

“I can't say enough about Elizabeth! She was wonderful! I was so worried about finding a dog walker, and she eased my fear. She's definitely confident when it comes to larger breed dogs, the size and look of my dog did not faze her! The initial meet and greet went well! And I think it helped with the relationship between her and my dog.. I'm so relieved that we have someone that we can count on! And someone that my dog likes, and it comfortable to go on walks with! Thanks Elizabeth!! See you next time! 😉”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years through family and friends, and I’m always the person they trust to watch their pets. I genuinely love animals, and dogs tend to feel comfortable with me very quickly. I have experience with small and medium-sized dogs, and I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m especially patient with more anxious or sensitive dogs. I have an anxious dog of my own, which has taught me how to read body language, build trust, and create a calm, safe environment. I’m very attentive and detail-oriented, so I always follow care instructions closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific routines. I can also help reinforce basic training like leash manners and structure during walks. My goal is to make every dog feel cared for, understood, and happy while giving owners complete peace of mind. I treat every dog like my own and always keep communication open and consistent. I’m available Thursday through Sunday, with the most flexibility on weekends. On Thursdays and Fridays, I work part-time and am home by early afternoon, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and evening care. I prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication above everything. I follow each pet’s routine closely and take the time to understand their individual needs, behaviors, and comfort levels. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, as well as a very friendly Shihpoo who is used to being around other dogs. I always supervise interactions and make sure every dog feels comfortable and secure. I also have a pet camera at home for added monitoring, and a baby gate if a dog feels more comfortable in a smaller, more confined space. I’m especially mindful with more anxious dogs, as I have one of my own, so I understand the importance of patience and creating a calm, safe environment.
About: Hi! I’m Kaitlyn, an active and dependable dog lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I currently walk a friend’s dog regularly and love making sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. As someone who enjoys walking and running every day, I’m happy to match each dog’s energy level, whether they enjoy a relaxed stroll or a more active walk. I’m a Doctor of Physical Therapy student, so responsibility, attention to detail, and caring for others are a big part of who I am.

I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages after every visit so you always know how they’re doing.
About: I've loved animals my whole life and have been around cats in one way or another for most of my life. I grew up with multiple cats and I've been taking care of my cat Cole since adopting her in 2018 as a kitten. I've been volunteering at a cat shelter for several years as a socializer and love visiting as many cats as I can when I'm there (I always stay longer than my shift). I love them dearly, always want what's best for them, and would treat your cat with the same care concern I'd treat for my own. I'd be happy to provide drop-in visits for feedings/etc or to provide your cat with some play/social time! I love meeting new cats and taking in their unique quirks! While I've had a lot more exposure to felines, I've spent time and cared for several dogs as well and would gladly care for yours while you are away. I've had a lot of good experiences with them - I’m good pals with my landlady's pitbull and my dad’s chocolate lab! I’ll give your dog lots of attention and be mindful of their personality, especially during walks. I’ve had some anxious ones that can get a bit testy when they see other dogs during walks and I’ve handled them well. I'm between jobs at the moment, so I am fairly flexible in terms of availability with some notice. Sunday is my day for volunteering, though I can swap my shift if need be to provide your pet with the care it needs. I'm happy to arrange for shorter/longer visits on single/recurring basis. Can assist with feedings, playtime or just hang out and provide them a loving lap! Also happy to provide photo/video updates of your fur babies to help put your mind(s) at ease!

I’ve had my own dogs before and truly enjoy seeing dogs in a loving home. I am currently in college, and all my classes are night classes. A morning and afternoon schedule will be the best fit for me to walk and do drop-ins for your beautiful pups! I will respect your home as if it were mine and keep your pet happy and comfortable, while keeping them entertained and/or relaxed in their own home.
“I have to start saying I’ve never hired a dog walker before, it was hard to trust someone else to take care of my pup. I had to find someone urgently a couple of days ago and Lillian was super accommodating with her needs and our requests. She was able to go to our place right away and kept us posted on every step of the way. She seemed pretty nice and I wanted to meet her as we’ll need more help with our pup in the future. We met a couple of days after and I have to say she was super sweet and loving towards my pup. I was happy she remembered all the things I told her about our dog. She even walked to the park and stayed with us for a while. She made it easier for me to trust in this apps. I highly recommend her.”

I can easily crate your dog if necessary, dogs are free to sleep on the bed if they are spoiled
About: I had a cat for 6 years and plenty of experience handling and taking care of dogs - I volunteered in an animal shelter with dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens for 4 years. I am 5’7” and relatively strong so I am also able to handle larger dogs (no pulling that leash away on my watch!). I have 3 years of experience as an EMT, so in case of an unexpected accident I am able to provide emergency first aid if necessary (helping a pet often involves the same basics as helping a person!) I have a lot of availability at the moment. Weekdays and weekends are nearly always free, especially for walking and check-ins. I love to be outside and walk/run, especially with dogs. I don't have any pets living with me right now, so I will be free to focus on yours. I am active and love taking dogs for a walk or run anywhere and for however long they need.
“Diane was such a friendly and communicative walker. She walked my 10 month old golden retriever puppy while I was away for a business trip. She walked him twice a day and left comments every single time and sent me pictures . I would definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her ?”
About: I have walked dogs for the last three years, on and off, ranging all the way to 100 pounds. I also have experience with blind and deaf dogs. I have my own 4 year old 60lb husky as well! I am currently on summer break from my job, so I am available seven days a week until August 15. There is a chance that day may change. I always make sure I feel comfortable taking the dog outside. I have the strength to keep bigger dogs away from others if necessary. I also am capable of running with dogs.
About: I absolutely love caring for animals. I used to be a receptionist at a vet clinic and love meeting new pets. I am a dog owner myself, which has allowed me to learn more about dogs and their individual needs. I have experience administering oral medications. I have also learned to figure out if something is wrong, or if they need medical care. I will make sure to care for your pet as if it was my own. I know it’s hard leaving our pets so please let me know what I can do to make it as comfortable as possible for you and your pet. I recently moved to New Jersey and I’m currently unemployed. I am a mom to a toddler, and I’m unable to do any long term overnight stays, but may make an exception if it’s only a day. I can feed your pet, administer medication, take them on walks or just simply hang out so they are not lonely while you are gone.

“I’m so glad I chose this sitter for Buddy! They gave me prompt and detailed updates exactly the way I’d requested, along with plenty of pictures that really put me at ease while I was away. I could tell from the photos and messages that Buddy was happy and well taken care of. They’re such sweet, responsible people, and I could truly relax knowing my little one was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Carolina took such good care of our two dogs. They had so much fun playing with her dog as well. She sent daily updates about how they were doing which was perfect since we were so far away from home for over a week. We really appreciated her taking care of them. We highly recommend her loving care.”
“Our Paris had a grand old time at Miss Karla’s. She played, took walks, explored, was well taken cared of and I got reports daily on Paris’s daily activities. I recommend Miss Karla one hundred percent!”
“I’ve had some cat sitters before, but Xunzi is definitely the best! She is responsible, professional, the real animal lover! She gave my cat, Tobi, a kind loving care; Tobi was so comfortable staying at her place. Thank you so much, Xunzi!”
“I’ve used her service multiple times and it has always been a delight to work with her. Incredibly flexible and my dog gets excited once she realizes where I’m dropping her off. I cannot say enough how much I appreciate having met her to take care of my dog.”
“Enis did a great job taking care of our beloved Zero. I was nervous since I’ve never boarded for more than a night. But he sent lots of pictures and responded to my texts very quickly which kept me and my family happy. Everything worked out and I would recommend Enis and would use his services again.”
“They were extremely accommodating with our pick up and drop off schedule. I have used river maybe five or six times in the past, and that last time I use them I had a very bad experience with poor communication and people were so polite and had a beautiful property and kept in constant communication with plenty of pictures and when it was time for me to pick up my dog, we had a lot of traffic and we’re over an hour late and they were happy to oblige. I will definitely leave my stellar with him anytime and I plan to leave her with them in the future anytime I need a sitter. They sent me lots of pictures. They even went as far as printing out some pictures for us, and they gave Stella a little bandanna like she would have when she left a groomer. They were very polite and had a great backyard, and my dog was very happy when I picked her up, so I know that they treated her well. They are definitely an A+ sitter. I highly recommend them and I have used the multiple times was good and bad and I had nothing but good things to say about them.”
“Experienced dog family! Took great care of our big boy! Sent lots of updates and pictures. I have a big boy who loves to spend the days outside and their fenced in yard gave him lots of room to explore! They are real dog people and I felt 100% confident my dog was in good hands!”
“Gargi & Sourav have been absolutely amazing. One of our furry kids was a bit nervous as I was dropping them off, so we were a bit nervous for them, but they have completely put out worries aside. The provided frequent daily updates on how our dogs were doing, brining up any questions or concerns along the way. Our dogs also really got along with their pets as well which made us happy that our dogs are also making friends. The dog park being right next to their apartment building is also a massive plus that helps with both social and energy levels of our dogs. They had a great stay and we as the owners had a relaxing worry free time. Would definitely book them again.”
“Kevin and his wife are amazing! They were able to watch Sadie for a long weekend even though it was last minute. Sadie is super shy and they were so patient with her while she took her time to warm up. Having Bubbles there helped her so much and they became absolute besties! Overall I felt really good knowing that Sadie was safe and comfortable with them :)”
“I had a great experience with John. I booked on short notice and he was very flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. He took excellent care of Carl while I was away and gave me real peace of mind the entire time. Communication was solid, and I received updates throughout Carl’s stay — it was clear he was being very well looked after. When I picked him up, he was calm, healthy, and completely himself, which tells you everything you need to know about the level of care he provides. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with John again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.”
“Liz was great with Emmie and sent photos of her each day. She responded promptly with any questions during the stay. She took her on walks, let her play in the backyard, and play with her kids. I would highly recommend and will be using her again in the future!”
“My dog Simon had a wonderful time at Stephanie's home. We took a 7-day getaway, so we were nervous about how he would do. Stephanie kept us updated daily, which eased our worries, and she sent many pictures. Simon didn't miss love or hugs and felt at home. He also made friends with her dog. Thank you for caring for our Simon! 🤗”
“Amarys was amazing with my dog, Diamond! She took such great care of her, played with her, took her on lots of walks, and kept me updated throughout the stay with plenty of photos. It was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable Diamond was. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and Diamond absolutely loved her. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Amarys again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“We had an amazing experience with Andrew. He is a very skilled dog trainer and caregiver. Our dog Vita likes to set her out rules, but Andrew managed to tame her and made her obey the rules. Besides she had a great time with other dogs while running, playing and exercising with them. We got photos and videos at our dog twice a day, which was really helpful because we missed her a lot. After three weeks our Vita returned to us trained and in a good fit and mood. Highly recommended!”
“Maureen and her family were amazing! Mocha was well taken care of, we got daily updates and pictures, and she was so responsive to anything we'd needed! When I arrived to pick Mocha up, he jumped on me to say hi, and then immediately sprinted to the back of the house (not the front door) cause he'd had such a good time there!”
“Repeat stay and experience with Katherine is once again very helpful,communication is great. Provides proper care ensuring dog receives medication. Provides updates and truly cares for well-being and health of fur baby. 🤍”
“Angela is so kind and a dog whisperer for real. she is someone i feel i can trust with Mac, i got updates and pics/videos and that was soooo comforting. i trust her to administer his two medications and it was a pleasure to meet and hopefully board up with her again.”
