Personalized care for your dog or cat - Chilili
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Chilili
“Highly, highly recommend Rosalia. She provided great daily updates with multiple photos, and I could tell my dog was very happy and comfortable in all of them. We also always have a sense of how things went when we pick him up, and that also made it clear that he'd enjoyed Rosalia's! Couldn't have been more perfect. She also has a very secure setup at her home, so, even though our dog has tried to make a run for it in the past due to his high prey drive, we didn't worry about that one bit when he was with Rosalia!”
“Maellin was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter; she had excellent communication across the board. Sharing updates and photos of Navi every day. I could tell from the photos that she took such good care of her, Navi was smiling, and really warmed up to Maellin, which she doesn’t do with everyone. It was over the 4th, and Navi was quite nervous about the fireworks. Maellin took every measure to ensure her greatest ease and comfort, bringing her into their bedroom and turning on some background noise to help drown it out. Maellin is also a wonderfully sweet human; she will 100% be my first choice anytime we need care for Navi.”
“Jessie is great with animals and took very good care of Dally. She was very patient and responded kindly when Dally tried to out-smart her and caused trouble. Highly recommend!”
About: I have owned dogs all of my life and understand that they are family members and should be treated as such! I love all dogs from big to small and young to old. While I do not have any pets of my own right now, I would love to help care for yours whether it be feeding, walking, playing, loving on them or more. I am currently off for the summer leaving me plenty of time to care for your pets. From August to May, I work 2 days a week so I will still have plenty of availability. I have two daughters who live with me part time ages 9 and 7 who love pets as well. I would love to care for your pets as you see fit in your home! Just let me know their daily routine and I can accommodate.
“Esmeralda and her family took very good care of our Spider. She sent us some photos and updates to stay connected which we really appreciate. She was also available with short notice and we would definitely let Spider stay with her again. When we arrived for pickup, Spider was relaxing in his bed in the living room, very calm and obviously very comfortable at Esmeralda's house. :) Excellent care”
“My puppy had a great time at Debbie's! She sent me pictures every day which helped me deal with our separation. She's obviously a very caring sitter and I will definitely use her next time I need a sitter.”
“Anne is awesome! She made me feel completely comfortable with leaving my 17 month Mini Aussie Shepherd for the weekend. She sent me pics of him playing with the other puppies ?. I have already recommended her to my friends.”
“Michael watched our fur baby for 13 days. She is approx. 14 yrs old, and we were worried about leaving her for such a long period of time. Michael's calm and easy demeanor was reassurance that she would be fine. She does not get along with other animals and as the only pet Michael watched he was able to provide her with individual attention. He sent photos daily, which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely use his services again. Michael, thank you for taking such good care of our family member!”
“Great communication with text and pictures daily she took extra special care of our pup! She made him feel loved! Would definitely book again and recommend to others!”
“Fantastic experience with Josie and Paco feel like we left our dog with extended family. Luska will miss them terribly. Communication was great, the updates made us feel better about leaving our puppy. Thanks again, Josie”
“I was so worried leaving my dogs for the first time. Karen was so good with them and made them comfortable. They were happy campers and I was so relieved. I would recommend Karen to anyone. She is amazing with animals.”
“Chad provides a safe environment! My dog got along with his dog right away, which doesn’t always happen. The dogs have a great big backyard to play in, they don’t go for walks normally. Mentioning because if you want that you need to talk to Chad to arrange it. Chad agreed not to crate my dog which is good because he hasn’t been in a crate in years, and Max seems in good health when I picked him up, moved pretty good for a senior dog.”
“Joshua is great. He's a natural with dogs, and it's obvious he loves them! I HIGHLY recommend Joshua and his home for extended boarding. He has a very large yard for play, and the dogs love it! I travel a lot, and I will be using Joshua every time. My puppy, Mocha, made a new friend with Joshua's dog, Blitzen. Immediately, they became friends and were inseparable for seven days. Thank you, Joshua!!! My wife and I are very grateful for the care you gave Mocha!!!”
“Onrae did a great job watching Daisy for me. She was a recent rescue, who was a stray and still getting acclimated to her new life. I had to go out of town for a few days and was concerned about what I was going to do. Onrae was easy to communicate with from the start with the meet and great, sent photos and videos daily. She had a great time and came back just as happy as I left her. I would definitely use him again”
“Pat is a dream come true! She is constantly sending me updates on and photos of my dog, Marley, and I can tell that he loves her company. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and really takes the time to understand him. All of her dogs are really sweet and loving. Now I feel like when I go on vacation, my dog is also on vacation at Pat's house! Thank you so much, Pat!”
“This is the second time we leave Tessa with Wendy and it was also a great experience. Wendy is very communicative and sends lots of pics of Tessa enjoying with her and her kids. She also takes Tessa to dog parks and on walks so she can get her exercise. We recommend her :)”
“Hossanna was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Azula. From the start, she was so accommodating and kind, and she even met with us for two walks before Azula’s stay, which made a huge difference in helping us feel comfortable. I have very detailed (and sometimes neurotic) instructions when it comes to my dog, and Hossanna never once made me feel bad about that. She was patient, understanding, and clearly cared about doing things right for Azula. She sent us many thoughtful photos throughout the stay, and it was obvious Azula was comfortable, happy, and safe in her care. If she would have us again, I would absolutely book with her, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can truly trust.”

“Emily has taken care of my senior cat multiple times and treats her like gold. She is an excellent communicator, feeds and plays with Michelle. I feel secure and comfortable with Michelle in her care.”
“Tammy and her husband did a great job of taking care of our pets, even during an ice storm. She also reached out to us during a power outage with questions. Would be happy to have her come by if/when we go away again.”
“Shantae was awesome! Filled in last minute to watch my cat and took wonderful care of her. She sent plenty of pictures/updates and returned the house in immaculate condition. Highly recommend her!”
About: Hi, I’m Renee—your cat’s new favorite human (even if they pretend not to care). 🐈⬛ I’ve loved and cared for cats my whole life—from lap-loving purr machines to fiercely independent under-the-bed dwellers. I admire their perceptiveness, their independence, and their ability to set boundaries without apology. Cats don’t need constant attention, and I respect that. But when they do want affection, I’m all in—whether it’s petting, playtime, or just sitting quietly nearby. I’m completely comfortable with litter box duty, giving medications, and tuning into the subtle cues that tell you when something’s off. I believe cats are family, and I care for them with the same gentleness and respect I’d want for my own. Whether your kitty is social, shy, spicy, or somewhere in between—I’ll meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe, seen, and loved.
About: I love pet sitting for cats because every cat has its own unique personality, and I enjoy getting to know each one. Caring for cats is rewarding because I can provide them with attention, companionship, and a comfortable routine while their owners are away. I am patient, reliable, and attentive to their needs, whether that means feeding them, cleaning litter boxes, playing with them, or simply giving them a quiet space to relax. I enjoy making sure cats feel safe, happy, and well cared for, and I take pride in treating every pet as if they were my own
“Lilly is fantastic! She has come to our home multiple times over the past few months to take care of our husky / pit mix. Our dog loves her and I love feeling confident that Lilly has got things under control! She makes sure to send me updates and cute pictures and is perfectly communicative. I couldn’t recommend her services enough!”
“Rita took great care of Sunny our cat. She checked in with us often and gave us personalized updates on how he was doing. We will definitely use Rita again in the future. She genuinely loves animals, and that shines through.”
“Kienna made us feel good about trusting her to take care of our kitty while we were out of town. Her communication was great, and she was prompt to respond to questions. She gave our cat the love and attention he needed. We will not hesitate to have her sit for us again.”
About: I’ve never had a time in my life when I didn’t have a pet cat. I grew up in the country in WNY and we had a lot of strays dropped at our place. We vetted and either rehomed or kept them. Working at a vet, I have experience with all sorts of personalities.
About: I've had cats most of my adult life, most of which were rescues. I've fostered cats in the past and can usually get even the most timid kitties to warm up to me. I'd love to give your fur babies love and pets while you're away.
About: I have a cat of my own, his name is Styles, he's 10 yrs old, and he's my child. I grew up with cats ever since I was a kid and not a lot of people understand them and their boundaries, I believe I do. I respect their space, and I don't push them to be social unless they are. I like to learn their moods and vibes so we can both understand each other.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little. Neighbors, family and friends all relied on me to walk, feed and play with their pets. Im currently working part-time. I’ll be happy to play with your pups! I’m available any day of the week after 3pm. Sunday and Monday I have all day availability. I have a fully fenced backyard with two friendly dogs to keep yours company. I can easily crate your dog if needed or roam freely in the house.
“Hutch was a wonderful kitty sitter, especially considering Pumpkin was just a kitten! She was very courteous of our home and sent us daily pictures. 5 starts for sure! Thank you again Hutch!”

About: Hello! Thank you so much for considering me to care for your furry friends. I've always been a huge animal lover and enjoy helping people. I have a fully trained Belgian Malinois and a sweet Siamese cat, both of whom are my babies. I promise to treat your pets with the same love and care. If your dog pulls on the leash, that's not a problem at all! I'm tall and strong, and I'm confident in my ability to handle even the most determined pups. With your permission, I can also incorporate some proven training exercises from professional trainers to help improve their leash manners. Taking care of animals is something I genuinely love and have plenty of experience with. Animals are so pure and full of love, and I strive to be the kind of person they deserve. If you give me the opportunity to care for your fur baby, I'll ensure they receive all the love and proper care they need. I hope you choose me, and I look forward to meeting your furry one(s) soon!

“James has been awesome with foster George (AKA Houdini) who has been on the euthanasia list 3 times. . . and his next time will be his last. George is the sweetest dog ever but his escapism has been problematic. James has been his life saver while I am at work, and has provided George playmates and activity throughout the day. James is DEFINITELY worth considering if you need care for your dog. . . (Just don't steal George's spot. . . We need James.)”
“When I had Adam & Indy watch my dogs for the second time, my dogs and Indy were so happy to see eachother again like they missed eachother and one of my dogs even jumped on the couch to sit next to Adam to say hi. Clearly they were well taken care of and have new great friends! Definitely recommend Adam!!”
“Michael was very helpful and accommodating. I believe he did his best with Rocco to keep him occupied. Rocco has separation anxiety, but Michael made the efforts to gain his trust in a limited timeframe. We were very appreciative with his services!”
“Charles and Cadence are so kind and caring, I felt extremely safe and relieved to leave my 2 fur babies with them. They did everything to give the pups a great stay.”
“FANTASTIC!!! If you're looking for a professional, friendly, educated alpha, you need to book through Esperita! She is very quick and responsive to messages. She picks my pup up for me, and sends me a picture msg of my dog, letting me know they made it to her place! She also sends updates with pictures! (LOVE IT!!!) I could tell my hyper GSD had a blast at her place because she's always so tired afterwards! Thanks again Rita for being sooo awesome and caring <3”
About: I am an animal lover and love having any kinds of fur babies over, even caged animals. Let my family become your fur baby family away from family. We will pay lots of attention to your fur baby and love on them and spoil them rotten. We are homeschool family so we are always home. We will treat your fur baby like one of our children. We have a fenced in yard and 5 kiddos who will give them lots of kisses and hugs. Your babies will be inside our home and will not be left outside for any amount of time, unless they are going potty or the kids are outside running around. we don't kennel pets unless its requested by the owner. I provide updates or pictures, even on occasion a video update. I offer long term pet sitting as well for as long as 6months to a year ect. Your babies would love to come back. I will follow any diet you ask or even give medication when needed. I am a stay at home parent/homeschool, so your babies will get alot of attention from all of us. We feed them on your schedule and if they are food aggressive, we can feed them away from other animals I have a fenced in yard, so dogs can easily run around and play fetch freely. We cuddle on the couch or in bed, and give treats. We can crate as needed and of you require it but we prefer bot to crate.
“So happy we chose Denise to take care of Dibbs during our trip to Branson. We wanted to spend a few hours at Silver Dollar City and didn’t want to leave our pup in the RV. Denise was very responsive, took lots of pictures and videos. She even took our pup on a 2-mile hike (which he absolutely loved!!) Of course she asked us beforehand and we were totally ok with it. I’m so glad he got his doggie outing during daycare. And despite the barking when they first met, he and Harley became the best of friends by the end of the day! Love it!”
About: I have a 5-year old dog, Roxy, who is very sweet and loves making new dog friends. We live in a home with a fenced-in yard and about one block from a park that is great for dog walks. I can provide a large crate if needed. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule to meet your needs. I’m typically available for contact unless I’m in a meeting, but will respond soon after. Roxy gets backyard playtime and walks around the park daily. She eats one large bowl of food in the evening and also receives treats. Of course I can accommodate your dog’s schedule and needs.
About: I can stay at your home or I can board your pets at my home (boarding only if you have small lap dogs). For boarding, I keep your pets indoors with our pets in our personal living space so your pets should be clean, house-broken, and tolerant of children. We have a very clean home with mostly red brick tile throughout (except for the bedrooms which have white carpet). We have a small doggie door which enters into a small fenced area (4'x12') for self-potty breaks while we are at work (if your dogs know how to use a doggie door). We can also close this door if your dog is an escape artist. Our home is located in the east mountains off the Zuzax exit (about 15 minutes from Tramway Blvd). We both work (I have summers off) so we come to Albuquerque every day via I-40 and would be happy to pick up your pet at a meeting location if the drive is a pain for you. We have a huge horse barn and several acres as our backyard. We have a mini-horse, three mini goats, three chickens, two small dogs, and a cat. Why is my rate so reasonable you ask? Because we don't do this to make a living. Getting to care for other peoples furry children brings much happiness & joy to our lives too. If it was a pain in the rear, we'd charge much much more. But it's not, it's a treat for us. I also automatically donate 5% of my pet sitting fee's to K9's for Warriors via Rover.com. K9's for Warriors provides service canines to warriors suffering from post-traumatic stress and/or traumatic brain injury as a result of military service. About this sitter: I'm a married mother of two children, and many animal children. I work full-time as a social worker. Caring for pets is a natural extension of my care of humans. Why I love dog sitting: I've been a dog lover since I was little. My families Norwegian Elkhound had puppies when I was 2 years old and I have pictures of my twin sister and I being so in love with them and carrying them everywhere we went. When I was 19, I bought a dog book and combed the pages looking for my best K-9 match. I ended up getting a Shih Tzu and a Brussels Griffon. 20 years later, we now have Budrow, my 14 year old Norfolk Terrier mix, Gracie, my 2 year old mini-Australian Sheppard/mini-Poodle mix, and a 4 year old sweet long hair female cat named Aphrodite. They are all best buddies and they enjoy having furry houseguests. Meet my pets: We have one mini-horse, three mini-goats, three chickens, 2 small dogs, and a cat. About my yard: We have a huge backyard (5 acres), some areas are fenced some are not. If your dogs are diggers, I'd worry that they might get into the chicken coop or the goat area. We do not want to host large outdoor dogs at this time, until we get proper sturdy fencing around the entire property. We are currently only hosting indoor lap dogs at this time. My experience administering medication: Yes, I will administer medication (including shots) unless a dog bites or gets squirrely. I accommodate your pets needs around my work schedule. In the Fall or Spring I occasionally have my teenagers sports events or meets to attend. I treat you pets like my own and if I’m caring for your pets in my own home they will be included in my regular life, living room time (sunning windows, movie nights on the couch, etc), grass time, playtime, sleep time, etc.

About: With a mother who works as a vet tech and a household full of elderly dogs, I’ve learned to spot subtle changes in behavior, administer medications with care, and handle everything from puppy energy to the gentle needs of a blind senior dog. I’ve been pet sitting since high school, caring for cats, dogs, horses, and farm animals—and I treat every animal like the innocent soul they are. As a mom of five, I’m no stranger to messes, and I genuinely don’t mind the less glamorous parts of pet care—poop scooping, litter box cleaning, or giving meds. I believe animals are family, and I show up with patience, attentiveness, and a nurturing spirit every time. Whether your pet is playful, shy, aging, or in need of extra TLC, I’ll meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I am a stay at home mom with plenty of flexibility in my schedule during the week, so most of the time I can attend to your pet with very short notice and flexible hours. While weekends are typically reserved for family time, I may be able to make exceptions with a little more advanced notice than what I would need on weekdays. I have no barriers to early morning check-ins. I care for pets in their homes, acknowledging that it is their space and not mine and as a homeowner myself, I will treat your property with the upmost respect. I will use any information you share with me about your pet’s likes and dislikes and dos/don’ts in regard to your home space to make sure that your animal is comfortable and given consistency that matches their regular routine.
About: I’ve taken care of a wide range in animals such as dogs,cats,fish,reptiles,rabits,and even senior animals.I love caring for animals and giving them a better life.Im a quick learner and can adjust to your babies needs. I have my own animals and some free time what better way to use that free time than to help care for others animals while they’re busy or away:) I have a 2.5 acre fenced yard and two sweet fur babies to keep your fur babies company,If you need them crated,or any routine/anything they need to take I can do so.I do own 3 cats and 2 dogs so if your baby is cat friendly,bring em over:)
“Svetlana was punctual and great with our dogs. I loved the updates and photos she sent during their walks. We appreciate having her nearby and potentially available even for last minute care or walks.”
About: I grew up around dogs and cats my entire life. I currently have three dogs and three cats along with plenty of other animals. I've watched pets for friends and family and I've fostered dogs while I found good homes for them. **PLEASE READ COMPLETELY THROUGH** I'm available for part time but will still have plenty of time to watch over pets. I work from 2:00pm-12:30am Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays and can check in any time before 1 on those days. I'm unable to watch any animals at my own home but will go to a client's home to feed, play with, or let out a pet. I can also take pets for walks or to a dog park.
About: Ever since I was young, I have loved being around animals and helping take care of them, especially dogs. Watching dogs has always come naturally to me because I am patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. What makes me different from other dog sitters is that I treat every dog like they are my own by giving them attention, affection, exercise, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has a different personality and needs, so I take the time to get to know them and build trust. My love for animals motivates me to provide the best care possible and create a fun, caring environment for every pet I watch. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and have a flexible schedule that allows me to give them the attention they need. I am organized and responsible, so I can easily plan my days around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping them on their normal routine as much as possible. I provide fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention and affection. I also make sure pets get plenty of exercise and companionship so they stay happy and relaxed while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I respect their space and carefully follow any instructions they leave regarding feeding schedules, medications, routines, or special care needs. My goal is always to create a calm, caring environment where pets feel comfortable and well cared for.
About: I’ve owned three dogs throughout my life. Being able to care for your pets bring me so much joy! Family and friends always have me look after their pets when they go on vacation! I go on a daily walk so watching pets fits perfectly into this schedule. I’m also self employed so I’ll Have more than enough time to keep pets company I follow the schedule given to me as well as trying to spend extra time and give extra love to your pets. Respecting all privacy!
About: I am a former zookeeper and I have a couple of years experience in veternary care. I’ve had animals of all kinds my entire life. I live with my husband and we both love spending time with animals. I work for the film industry and would love to pet sit your pet while I’m in between jobs. Productions have slowed down a lot over the past few years, so I have time currently. I have a larger fenced in yard that can actually be divided into 2 separate yards. Pets are allowed on our furniture and encouraged to sleep in the bedroom with us at night.
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life, from Yorkies to German Shepherds. Providing the love and care to other dogs while you’re away is my priority! To give you the peace of mind your fur baby is both physically and mentally stimulated during our time together. I am very active, love going on hikes and finding new parks in the area! I am in the end of my surgical residency making my schedule relatively flexible. While I am unable to have a dog of my own full time, I can care and love for others in the mean time! While I do live in an apartment, there is a park with walking trails right across the street that I walk daily. Staying active is an essential part of my life!

About: I have grown up with a house full of animals since I was born until now. By the time I was five, I had 10 puppies to look after and care for while having two cats and lastly, five horses. I have always maintained the skill of taking care of animals and loving other pets as if they are my own. Animals are just as sensitive, pure and unique as us humans that deserve just the same love. I work full time while being in graduate school part time. I am happy to make accommodations for any services that people may need! Thank you! Since I am in college, I currently have no space for my own pets but with my own pets, I watch them closely and make sure they are safe in an enclosed space. I make sure they always have food, water, toys and anything else they may need at hand and keep a leash nearby incase of emergencies.
About: Since I was a child my family had always had different kind of pets. Not only am I expedited with taking car or animals I am also excited I just graduated college so I do not have any other job. I and available 24/7 this summer for pet care. I look forward to physical activity with the pets as well. First I will get to know the dog to better instant their needs. I will listen to the owners experience with their own pet and hope to keep the pet feeling at home.
About: I've been taking care of my dogs/cats since I could walk. Started walking the neighborhood dogs at 14 and everyone loved it. I would house sit, including bathes and any medicine, for everyone's dogs when they needed me to. I will be a full time student and have a full time job. However I plan to be able to walk dogs between school and my job everyday if I can. I can be available weekends during the day. Tues through Thurs nights are my nights off and I will be at to stay at the house as long as needed for whatever care is needed those days after class. I unfortunately can't host pets due to living in an apartment. I will make sure your pets get enough enrichment, exercise, and cuddles/pets. I will be willing to bathe and or medicate animals if needed. I will clean up after the animal. I regularly take care of an elderly dog who gets medications twice a day and have experience with medicating cats as well. I work a full time job and do full time school. I will be able to check on any dogs before school and between place as well as after work. Fridays through Sunday I don't work until evening so I can spend all day taking care of your pets. I won't be able to host due to living in an apartment. I will play with your dogs including just running around the yard with them if you have one. Make sure they are properly fed and always have plenty of water. And of course make sure they get snuggles if they want to.
About: Growing up in a household with pets, I grew to understand them. Not only have I been around cats and dogs, I have also House sat for neighbors, friends, and family and looked after horses, bunnies, chickens, and birds. My main goal is to make sure they are living a happy and healthy life. I am currently working graveyards, but wanting to make pet sitting a full time job. Anywhere from 6am to 6pm I am free to house sit. I live in an apartment, my cat has free range of the place. In clients homes, they have fenced backyards, doggy doors to go in and out as they please. Some will have specific feeding routines I will stick to as in their pets eating in different rooms, or preparing their meals differently. I will play with them if they're in the mood and be active with them outside to release any sort of energy they have.

“Maellin was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter; she had excellent communication across the board. Sharing updates and photos of Navi every day. I could tell from the photos that she took such good care of her, Navi was smiling, and really warmed up to Maellin, which she doesn’t do with everyone. It was over the 4th, and Navi was quite nervous about the fireworks. Maellin took every measure to ensure her greatest ease and comfort, bringing her into their bedroom and turning on some background noise to help drown it out. Maellin is also a wonderfully sweet human; she will 100% be my first choice anytime we need care for Navi.”
“Jessie is great with animals and took very good care of Dally. She was very patient and responded kindly when Dally tried to out-smart her and caused trouble. Highly recommend!”
About: I have owned dogs all of my life and understand that they are family members and should be treated as such! I love all dogs from big to small and young to old. While I do not have any pets of my own right now, I would love to help care for yours whether it be feeding, walking, playing, loving on them or more. I am currently off for the summer leaving me plenty of time to care for your pets. From August to May, I work 2 days a week so I will still have plenty of availability. I have two daughters who live with me part time ages 9 and 7 who love pets as well. I would love to care for your pets as you see fit in your home! Just let me know their daily routine and I can accommodate.
“My puppy had a great time at Debbie's! She sent me pictures every day which helped me deal with our separation. She's obviously a very caring sitter and I will definitely use her next time I need a sitter.”
“Michael watched our fur baby for 13 days. She is approx. 14 yrs old, and we were worried about leaving her for such a long period of time. Michael's calm and easy demeanor was reassurance that she would be fine. She does not get along with other animals and as the only pet Michael watched he was able to provide her with individual attention. He sent photos daily, which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely use his services again. Michael, thank you for taking such good care of our family member!”
“I was so worried leaving my dogs for the first time. Karen was so good with them and made them comfortable. They were happy campers and I was so relieved. I would recommend Karen to anyone. She is amazing with animals.”
“Chad provides a safe environment! My dog got along with his dog right away, which doesn’t always happen. The dogs have a great big backyard to play in, they don’t go for walks normally. Mentioning because if you want that you need to talk to Chad to arrange it. Chad agreed not to crate my dog which is good because he hasn’t been in a crate in years, and Max seems in good health when I picked him up, moved pretty good for a senior dog.”
“Joshua is great. He's a natural with dogs, and it's obvious he loves them! I HIGHLY recommend Joshua and his home for extended boarding. He has a very large yard for play, and the dogs love it! I travel a lot, and I will be using Joshua every time. My puppy, Mocha, made a new friend with Joshua's dog, Blitzen. Immediately, they became friends and were inseparable for seven days. Thank you, Joshua!!! My wife and I are very grateful for the care you gave Mocha!!!”
“Onrae did a great job watching Daisy for me. She was a recent rescue, who was a stray and still getting acclimated to her new life. I had to go out of town for a few days and was concerned about what I was going to do. Onrae was easy to communicate with from the start with the meet and great, sent photos and videos daily. She had a great time and came back just as happy as I left her. I would definitely use him again”
“This is the second time we leave Tessa with Wendy and it was also a great experience. Wendy is very communicative and sends lots of pics of Tessa enjoying with her and her kids. She also takes Tessa to dog parks and on walks so she can get her exercise. We recommend her :)”
“Emily and her family were absolutely wonderful with Mr. Elwood. She was incredibly communicative, providing daily photos and status updates that kept my mind at ease. When Mr. Elwood faced some minor challenges, Emily handled them with grace and expertise, ensuring he remained safe and happy throughout. I’m so grateful for their support during my business travels. Highly recommended!”
“Esperita is amazing! It was the first time I left Oreo boarding, and she was great with giving updates and pictures throughout Oreo's stay, that I felt so assured, Oreo was in great care. Absolutely grateful to her for taking care of my Oreo.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our puppy. They provided excellent care, kept us updated, and made sure our puppy felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away. It was clear that they genuinely cared and treated our puppy like one of their own. We came home to a happy, healthy pup and would absolutely trust them again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Our dog Willow was in great hands with Doug while we took an out of state trip. Doug is a terrific communicator and very responsive. He sent photos of walks with Willow, and seemed to truly enjoy our pup. Doug was super flexible about drop off and pick up times, which we greatly appreciated!”
“My cats loved their stay so much they didn't want to come home! Kathryn was easy to deal with, good communication, and obviously loves cats. Highly recommended.”
About: I’ve dog sat for most of my life, I have a love for all dogs and deeply believe dogs are family and should be treated and cared for as such I currently work full time on the weekends so I am usually off on weekdays and would love some company cuddling on the couch or walks I have a fenced yard and almost a half acre to run around. I have two beagles and a little yorkie that will keep your pup company.
“Sofie was the best! From our first communications, to the met and greet, to the end of the stay, she was flexible and friendly. I had no reservations about leaving our dog with her. She sent pictures everyday with a little update that confirmed she knew our dogs habits. Would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again myself!”
“I would definitely book again!! Lorenzo was communicative with me and provided updates/photos! Those updates gave me peace of mind while being away from my dog.”
“Mary was excellent, she treated Nico like he was her own I was sent pictures of him watching soccer with her on the couch and relaxing on the outside furniture. He was right at home I will be taking him back to her my next vacation thank you Mary for taking such great care of my Nico”
