“My miniature schnauzer had a great time with Rhinesca’s dogs, he seemed to be having the time of his life when they met, running around her yard. Daily communication and photos. We’d be happy to leave Tux with them again. Recommend!”
“I am writing my 2nd review about Cathy because i dint have enough goods things to say!! I was away for 9 days...very long for my pup and she was taken care of so well and most importantly loved!! My pup is use to interaction and being close to us. Cathy sent me constant photos and updates to comfort me while we were away. Even though other dogs were also there i know she saw my dogs needs and made sure she was happy. % star recommendation and i will only use Cathy!!”
“Lucy took excellent care of our 1 year-old golden doodle! She requires lots of activity which she got at the park daily. Lucy provided great daily updates including videos of their adventures and snaps of her enjoying the day at home playing with toys or just watching people go by out the window. We will definitely book again with her!”
“Lauryn was amazing! She had cared for our dog Stella during our moving process. Needless to say Stella’s well-being was one less worry on our minds during the craziness of moving. We received photos during her stay and after picking her up we could sense Stella had a great time and was very comfortable with Lauryn. We will definitely keep Lauryn in mind shall we need a sitter again. Thank you again!”
“Priscilla is absolutely amazing! I’m so grateful she was free to watch my dog for three nights while we were away. She’s responsive and communicative — and Watson may love her more than he loves me based on the pictures she sent! 😂 I also give her a lot of credit because she watched him during one of the absolute coldest weeks we’ve had in a while and she still braved the arctic temperatures to make sure he got a ton of walks. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Demetra was amazing!! We loved their family and our pug was so happy! He had such a great time with them and they took such good care of him! I am looking forward to bringing him over again!”

“Danae is such an warm and sweet sitter! She boarded our 2 dogs for a couple of days, and she was extremely communicative, sending constant updates and photos of how the dogs were doing with her. I could tell that they had comfortable and fun time with Danae!”
“Melissa did a great job with my puppy Callie! She made it a very easy and simple process with dropping her off and picking her up. I felt very comfortable with leaving her knowing she was going to receive such great care! Melissa sent plenty of updates which I loved and made me feel even more comfortable knowing Callie was doing great! We will definitely be back!”
“First time we ever had to leave for a whole month and could not take Hattie with us. So happy to have found Nina and Augustine. Their little family took Hattie right in and gave her a home away from home. Hattie and Clementine just hit it off too. Constant photos and videos of Hattie that made us wonder if she might get bored when we took her back home. If you are looking for a relaxed family atmosphere for your dog with a built in playmate in a safe place look no further. Recommend very highly.”
“Hope was wonderful and loving to our puppy. She sent lots of pictures and was great about communicating throughout the stay. She was understanding about Mochi’s frequent needs to go outside for potty breaks as she is still house training. I highly recommend her and would book again!”
“We have a high energy pup! As soon as we handed the leash over to Maureen and saw them briskly walking down the street together, we were confident that our girl was in very good hands! Good communications, really took the time to listen to everything we shared with her about our pup. We highly recommend Maureen and will use her again!”
“Brittany was a superstar caregiver. She communicated regularly and clearly about her availability and then with status checks. Lola was very happy with her- she wanted to stay longer! I would definitely recommend Brittany.”
“Raymond and his family were amazing!!! We had such a great experience boarding our 10-month-old cocker spaniel them. They treated our puppy like one of their own, and the whole family—including the kids—welcomed him with so much love and energy. Raymond was communicative, sending regular updates with photos and videos. We will definitely re-book with him in the future.”

“Helena did a wonderful job watching my senior dog for a week. She was incredibly attentive to her specific routine and slower pace. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It is clear Helena truly cares about animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable pet sitter.”

“Our dog always has the best time with Aeli and her dogs! She sends so many pictures and was able to watch her on Thanksgiving which was so helpful. Ruby can’t wait to go back!”
About: What sets us apart is how much we genuinely love dogs. We are dog parents ourselves, so we understand how much trust it takes — and how worrying it can feel — to leave your dog in someone else’s care. For us, dog sitting is more than just feeding and walking. We love spending time with them, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Because we know how much owners miss and worry about their dogs, we always try to send photo updates in the morning and evening so you can see how your pup is doing and feel at ease. We have hands-on experience caring for different breeds, including Samoyeds, Weimaraners, Shetland Sheepdogs, and Golden Retrievers. Since we have friendly and social dogs of our own, we carefully supervise all interactions and focus on creating a safe and positive environment for every dog. We follow each dog’s routine closely and give them the attention, care, and love they deserve. On days I accept bookings, I’m home all day to give dogs my full attention, provide close supervision, and make sure they get plenty of walks and care. I provide a calm, safe, and dog-friendly environment in my home. All dogs are closely supervised, especially during playtime and interactions with other dogs. I carefully follow each dog’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and rest time. Because I am a dog owner myself, I understand how important safety and trust are. My goal is to make every dog feel comfortable, secure, and cared for like a member of our family.

“Hope is a saint!!! She was kind enough to give my dogs a chance for doggy day care at her home. She was gracious enough to get to know them to make sure all parties were comfortable. I really appreciate her approach and attentiveness with myself any my pups. She really put my soul at ease with her communication and photos that made me smile. If I could I would have a repeat stay for my dogs but of course she was booked and busy. You will not have to worry at all.”
“Andrea was great with Mochi and we appreciated her last minute availability for a same day booking. We got updates throughout his stay and she was easily reachable. Mochi came back to us both happy and healthy.”
“Diane did an absolutely perfect job taking care of our Brittany cokie. Super sweet and caring and her little dog was a great companion to ours. They had a fantastic time together, and she loved every minute of it. We went back the next day, and our dog was wagging her tail and excited to go in. Thank you so much Diane for your great work! Michael.”

“I can’t recommend Helene enough! She is incredibly reliable, caring, and truly loves animals. My chunky Staffy Luna loved her the moment she met her and didn't even want to come back to me lol. She gets so excited every time she arrives, and I always feel at ease knowing Luna is in great hands. She even drives her to a trail near my house, ensuring plenty of exercise, playtime, and even sending me updates and photos. If you're looking for a responsible and loving dog walker, Helene is the best and is very accomadating!”
