“Nicole was so wonderful! She took the BEST care of Basil, who is an older dog with some health limitations (hard of hearing, hard of vision, etc). Nicole has a few older dogs of her own, so understood Basil's needs and was very attentive and loving with her. I would recommend to anyone looking for a loving home to board your dog!”
“Jennifer, Thomas and their girls took such good care of our pup. They sent frequent updates and photos throughout the visit, and we could instantly tell how comfortable our dog was in their home. Cannot recommend them enough!”
“Saskia was absolutely fantastic! She took such wonderful care of our two energetic dogs and our energetic cat, and we couldn't have been happier. She truly went above and beyond, staying in constant communication with us the whole time we were away and sending photos and updates that really put our minds at ease. She put an incredible amount of heart into caring for our pets—she easily gave one hundred and fifty to two hundred percent—and her response time was incredibly fast.”
“Christine has been a great “second home” for Tyr. He goes barreling in the door as soon as he sees her. It is wonderful to know he is so happy to be dropped off there and we know he is well taken care of. We would highly recommend Christine.”
“Amanda was amazing! I was so glad that we had a meet and greet beforehand so I could make sure my pup felt comfortable with her and her two dogs. My dog warmed up to them quickly, and I knew that he would be in good hands. Amanda was great with him and sent me updates with photos and videos. My dog felt right at home! Amanda is very professional and kind, and the fact that she is a Vet Tech is a bonus! I will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Amanda!”
“Janice was amazing! I will definitely leave my dog Beau with her again! She has so much love for all animals and we felt so at peace leaving Beau for his first dog-sitting visit. There is so much space for the dogs to run and play and I knew he was in great hands:)”
“This was our second time using Caroline as our dog sitter, always a great experience! She’s very communicative, sent us updates, and took such great care of our puppy while we were away for two nights. We plan to book with Caroline again and highly recommend her!”
“Peter was such a wonderful sitter. His updates were timely and detailed and I felt confident that Nutmeg was cared for, happy, and healthy during her stay. I will definitely ask Peter to sit again if I’m ever in the area again.”
“Olga was wonderful!! She took such great care of Brutus and sent lots of updates with pictures, which I loved. An especially great sitter if your fur baby needs all-day supervision for any reason!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with Cipriana. She's knowledgeable, caring and responsible. It was nice that she contacted me to let me know how the dogs were getting along with her dogs and sent pictures as well. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Gab is just great with Harper. This is our second time boarding her at Gab’s. We are so fortunate to have found him and his wife Annie. Now we can go away and feel very relaxed. They even taught her to go up and down a full flight of stairs. Harper loves to socialize with Gab and the other dogs. Great place to leave your pet. Everyone is happy all around.”
“Jane is an amazing doggie caregiver. She clearly adores the canines and is kind and gentle with them. Her home is clean and set up to accommodate her guests. Her communication is prompt and she keeps You in the loop with pictures and videos. We are so glad we found Jane and will use her again.”
“Jeff was terrific. We contacted him at the last minute and he welcomed Melo with open arms. Melo was so relaxed when we arrived, it was obvious that he enjoyed his time with Jeff.”
“I recently had Cherissa watch over my mini Goldendoodle, Sofia, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very first interaction, she was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. Cherissa and her family took the time to get to know Sofia’s routine, preferences, and any special needs, which made me feel totally at ease. While I was away, she provided regular updates—including photos and messages—which really reassured me that my pet was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Cherissa and her family to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet care. I’ll definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
“Donna is absolutely great, very nice, accommodating and very punctual. She sent many pictures with our dog, who seemed very happy and well taken care of. We are very pleased to have met her and shall definitely contact her again for future bookings. Thank you, Donna!”
“We had SUCH a wonderful experience with Meghan & Sean—and so did our pup! Our 3yo dog is nervous around new people and can be reactive. We were worried about how she would do staying with a family with young kids. Meghan & Sean listed to our worries and helped up brainstorm ways to put our dog at ease. And it worked like a charm! We were so grateful to the extra time Meghan & Sean spent to make both the humans and the doggo feel positive about the plan. We loved getting pics of the crew on their daily walks. It was also really really REALLY nice to see how much love Meghan and fam have for all animals, and how positive they were about our sometimes tricky dog. Our dog had a great week and we will definitely return to Meghan & Sean for future doggy needs, whether it is another week or a shorter visit. Highly recommend, zero notes!”
About: I was raised in a positive pet friendly family environment and had my own dogs and cats for more than twenty years. I can handle large, medium, and small dogs and will look to give them long walks and lots of exercise as a good dog is a tired dog. I work full-time but have plenty of free time during the week and on weekends to feed, walk, play fetch, or just hang out with your dog. I am happy to come to your home and walk your dog and or play at a local dog park, I am familiar with dogs from Yorkshire Terriers and Kings Charles Spaniels to Rottweilers and German Shepards.

About: We have a beloved Cat named Chocolate, my daughters named her Chocolate because they “really love Chocolate”! I also have 2 small senior dogs that get along with cats. I have never met an animal that I don’t like…dog, cat, farm animal or wild animal. They all are special and a pet is absolutely a family member. I whole heartedly understand the love of a pet and promise to treat them as part of my family while they’re in my care.
“Elizabeth saved me in a pinch when I couldn't get home--she came over and walked my dog, whom she'd never laid eyes on, and brought her cute daughters to give her a snuggle. Plus sent me a picture of the scene, with my happy dog soaking up the attention. Thanks again!”
“Jared has taken care of my 3 cats and home twice now and handled some mishaps with grace. He is communicative when questions arise and leaves the guest cottage in stellar condition!”
“Ellen took wonderful care of our cat Seven while my husband and I were out of town for several days. She sent detailed updates daily with photos, made sure to give Seven lots of playtime with his favorite toys, and kept our home in spotless condition as well. I highly recommend her if you're looking for a responsible, communicative sitter who loves cats!”
“Ashley was fantastic in taking care of our cat. She also helped us with the mail and plants. We’ll definitely reach out to her again when we need a cat sitter. Highly recommended!”
“Lisa did an absolutely fantastic job taking care of my two cats while my partner and I were out of town! Not only did Lisa make sure to feed them according to their regular schedules, she went the extra mile by making sure their food and water bowls were clean and even voluntarily scooped both of the litter boxes every day that we were gone. I can't thank her enough for going above and beyond for a last minute drop-in visits booking.”
“Can’t thank Andrea enough for her help! I had her do some house sitting while I was away, so that my cat would have another person around, and from the start, she was wonderful with her communication, positivity, and also asking all of the right questions. Immediately gave me confidence that my house and cat were in good hands. Would 10/10 recommend her! Thank you for being so wonderful Andrea!”
About: I have always had a special connection with dogs. I grew up with dogs and treated them like part of the family. I have been primarily working as a pet nanny for 5 years for someone who traveled to Europe on a monthly basis. They are staying in Europe indefinitely so I am looking to add some new clients. I can offer your dogs fun playtime and a sense of stability by caring for them in their own environment. I am also available for walks and drop in visits. I send pictures and updates daily. Your best friend will be spoiled and pampered with me. I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of availability as this is my main job. I can also do long term sitting up to 6 weeks if necessary. I am responsible and professional and respectful in your home. Besides caring for your pets, I am happy to pick up mail and water plants.
“I am very grateful to Christine for the excellent care she took of our fur family. Going away can cause anxiety for us humans, but we were able to enjoy ourselves knowing our cats were in good hands. They maintained their routines and were happy and well-adjusted when we got back, which is everything. Christine was communicative, sent pictures, and took great care of our home as well. We couldn't have asked for anything more in a sitter. Thank you, Christine!”
“Janice goes above and beyond with my extra temperamental cat! I totally trust her to spend time with and feed Jan her rather complicated dinner order. I always feel at ease when I know Janice is on duty and have booked repeatedly!”
“Jessica asked questions when necessary, made sure she understood what my cats needed, and was patient in making friends with my shy lady. The cats were happy, the house was tidy, and everything was great. We would have her back again to cat sit. Thank you!”
“Our kitty stayed with Cassandra for a few days and she took such good care of him!! I felt so comfortable having him there and she sent updates every day :) I will definitely use her again!”
“This is the second time Sophie has cared for our two cats, and she’s been wonderful each time. She gives them so much love and playtime, and keeps us updated regularly, which we really appreciate. It’s such a comfort knowing they’re in good hands while we’re away. They were happy and content when we got back.”
“Abigail was the perfect cat sitter. I was so nervous leaving my cats for so long but it turns out, I didn't have to worry at all. She came for a meet and greet, learned all their names, and followed every instruction during the entire two week period. I needed twice a day drop ins for one hour each. She stayed for the entire hour, played with the cats, fed them, pet them, cleaned food bowls, replaced water bowls and cleaned their litter. She took pictures of them every time and by the end, my cats were so comfortable with her. I would hundred percent recommend her if you want a sweet, caring sitter who you can rely on.”
About: I have worked a lot with both ends of the spectrum in terms of activity: I enjoy sleepy dogs as well as hounds. I have a Hungarian Vizsla back home, who is essentially a hunting dog—and I enjoy seeing her tired at the end of the day. I have recently graduated from Bard College. This summer, I have plenty of time to take care of pets while I prepare for graduate studies. I love hiking, running, reading books, and watching movies — all of those activities are infinitely better with a cat, a dog, a turtle, or fish! At my client's houses, I make sure to maintain a clean and safe environment where pets do not come into contact with anything or anyone that poses even the slightest risk to their health and well-being.
About: Hello! I've been an animal lover my entire life. My dog, Zeke and I had a companion kind of relationship, built on mutual respect and happiness; it's something I wouldn't have traded for the world. He sadly passed away in October 2025 after 12 years together, so it would be an understatement to say I'm more than happy to pour extra love to your pup. Times are tough; starting a new 'negotiations and bartering' acceptance. Reach out, the worst I can say is no! Partial payment in veggies, meat, mechanic work...etc. Community care✨ ___________________________________________________________________________ This is a new offering as of August 2024. I have discovered that adventures are my ideal experiences and would like to advertise as such! Mountain hikes, kayak paddles (>15 pounds) are my favorites, but I am open to other ideas/training requests! Paddleboarding, swimming lessons...the possibilities are endless. One hour minimum is preferred; gas and travel time to the adventure site are included. I have many mountains, lakes and trails on my list, so I do not see it as fair to charge you for that time! You will only be charged for adventure time. Depending on your pup(s) comfortability in the car, we may travel up to 45 minutes. You and I will decide together on location details, and this app will track where your pup(s) and I are at all times. Wilderness First Aid trained, canine safety versed, ample water provided, and pups will always be kept safely on the leash. Your pup will return home satisfied and tired! ____________________________________________________________________________ For a NORMAL NEIGHBORHOOD WALK, please book a drop-in visit and message to remind me that you would like a walk. Availability for walks and drop-ins will change after Labor Day. Unavailable most weekdays 8-3:30, I am a caretaker by nature, and have been a teacher for the past 4years, a live in nanny before that and most recently a grade school teacher. I'm going back to school to get my licensure. Honestly, care taking and fresh air gives me clarity of mind, and the chance to peel away from the screen helps process all the new information! I am trying to practice running again too, if your canine would like to train with me. Familiar with many local trails and parks. All weather is good weather! Experience with dogs with seizures and giving various medications. Feline friend as well. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends ! I work at a school, but often have days and weeks off. Feel free to request and negotiate for what you need. Finding a good fit is paramount. I offer boarding very rarely. When I am in your home, I try to leave it better than I found it. I have spent a fair amount of time farming and gardening, so plants will be well cared for if asked.
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs and was responsible for caring for them from a young age. I can take your dog on long walks or give your cat plenty of social play time. I have a few free days that I’m looking to fill by walking and dropping in on my neighbors’ pets. Now that I don’t have a dog of my own anymore, I’m looking to satisfy my pup time fix. I have a friendly and social cat who is looking forward to making new friends. My house is clean and quiet and would be a great spot to host your pets.

“This was for a meet and greet with my dog Rumor. Christine and her Mom seemed like lovely ladies who are around through the day to care for their guest dogs. We will strongly consider Christine for Daycare and Boarding in the future.”
“Thank you, Peter, for taking such good care of Minnie! She had a great time hiking and monitoring those rabbits and came home a tired and happy dog. She was in a beautiful and safe place and we will look forward to return visits.”
About: My own dogs are always the #1 teacher. They show me how to best care for them - with food, play, training, medications, travel, sleepless days and nights when they've been ill, and giving them all them comfort I can. I've volunteered at dog shelters, spent hours walking dogs in all kinds of weather, and offered comfort to friends who've had to say goodbye to their best fur friends. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets plenty of attention - playing, feeding, and scratching behind the ears. I take my dog for swims in the river, off leash romps in the woods, and leashed walks around town. We also play fetch and tug-of-war in the house or on the deck. If your dog needs a playmate, my dog, Jackson, may be a good fit. My cats - depending on their mood - like to lounge in the sun, pounce on the occasional toy, run up stairs, and hunt for treats I've hidden for them.
“Rosalie was SO GOOD and patient with our nervous chihuahua. She sent great updates and he had a lovely time in her home and fenced yard. We highly recommend her for dogs of all sizes! :)”
“A true dog person, Jane welcomed our whippet puppy into her warm home. She is very responsive, a lovely person, and sent some beautiful pictures of our pup that we absolutely loved!”
“My dog absolutely loves Jesmine and Channon’s place. She always looks to be having a good time. Today she didn’t even want to leave. These are good people and I look forward to my pup staying with them again.”
About: I absolutely love animals. I have been helping friends and neighbors with watching their pets for years. I currently have two dogs myself, one with complicated medical needs. I am confident I would be able to care for your pets no matter their age. I currently work from home 2-3 days per week and am available most weekends. Our two Poms love to play and cuddle with us on the couch. Your pets would be welcome to join us on the couch. I have a fenced in backyard. I live in a dead-end street near the rail trail so walks are a breeze and do not have me near any main roads. I do have two Pomeranians to keep your pets company while with us. Both of my dogs are fixed and friendly.
“This was his second visit, he did well. Nicole sent me pics and updates on how he was doing. ( He’s clingy and a mama’s boy lol ). I'm so grateful that we found Nicole. I truly believe he will come out of his shell. I believe he will blossom with her as time goes on.”
“Amanda was an amazing sitter for our dog Honey! She was thoughtful, communicative, flexible on timing, and Honey seemed so happy and calm when we picked her up. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Jacqueline was very friendly and communicative, and Bunsen took an instant liking. We received photos of her well-being during her stay and of her mile walk. Jacqueline’s home is conveniently located in a popular historic town, making drop-off/pickup easy on the way to/from Hunter Ski Resort from our hotel. Bunsen was well cared for and happy. She was also so tired, that she managed to rest during the long car ride back home! We would book Jacqueline again.”
“Marielle took great care of my little Zuzu! My puppy started the day sad about me leaving her there and by the end she was totally bonded with Marielle! She was also totally tuckered out so she clearly got plenty of exercise.”
“Diana and her kids took great care of our dog. He had lots of playtime with her and her kids. It was a great comfort knowing our pup was in good hands and well cared for. Thank you Diana! We will definitely use her again.”
“Lauren was amazing!!!! She made my super anxious dog feel right at home, which is not an easy task. I can't wait to come back and have this become part of Scout and Hazel's weekly routine!”

“Lisa is great! My pup is a big boy and I was at ease knowing that Lisa is animal trainer/ horse person and would be able to handle him. We are amped that we have found her!”
About: I have been around animals all my life. Born in the country, cows and horses are most common, but I’ve come to love having dogs, cats, and reptiles of my own! There has never been an animal I couldn’t warm up to, and I love getting to know every pets unique personality. I DO OWN PETS, I just am not offering boarding services or requesting sitting services so I would prefer not to share their details! I am always willing to move around my schedule to better fit my clients needs! I have a ride I depend on for now while I’m learning to drive, so I cannot be out too late unless I’m staying the night. I prefer to pet sit or walk pets at other homes, not my own, as I have a reactive dog with history of abuse, and she is not amicable with other pets.
About: I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and overnight house sitting for cats or dogs, and I’m happy to provide daily exercise, playtime, feeding, and medication support as needed. Whether your pet loves long walks, quiet companionship, or consistent routines, I tailor my care to fit their needs and personality. I grew up with mid-size dogs and frequently watched smaller dogs for family friends in Pittsburgh. After moving upstate, I became a devoted cat dad to my black cat, Lola, for four years. Since then, I’ve cared for cats of all ages, including seniors with specific feeding and medication schedules. I'm attentive and responsive to every animal’s unique rhythm. I currently work remotely as a freelancer, which gives me the flexibility to drop in or house-sit for quality time with your pets during the day. I enjoy staying active and love being outdoors—so your dog will always get a good walk (and a happy walking buddy!). For overnight stays, I treat every home and pet with the respect and care I’d want for my own. I pride myself on being responsible, respectful, and kind—treating every home and animal as if my own. As a freelancer who works remotely, I have a flexible schedule that lets me give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m also available for house sitting and overnights provided there's stable wifi. I am a trustworthy house sitter/ walker who priotizes clear communication on expectations and house standards. I do not offer pet care from my own home.
“Ashley is a delight. She was very communicative and caring about our elderly dog with special needs. We only needed her to come and take him for a walk, but he is blind and deaf and also wears a diaper. She let us know when she got to our house and sent pictures afterwards. We felt very comfortable with her and will definitely be using her again.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals of all kinds my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I truly love animals and treat every pet I care for as if they were my own. I’ve been pet sitting for several years and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family members. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just keeping them company, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule to care for your pets. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, or just some extra love and attention. My flexible schedule allows me to work around your pet’s normal routine and make sure they get the care and companionship they’re used to while you’re away. 🐾❤️ My home is a safe and comfortable place for your pet to relax and feel at home. I have a partially fenced-in yard where dogs can safely enjoy some fresh air, play, and stretch their legs. I also have a screened-in porch that’s perfect for lounging and enjoying the outdoors while staying safe and secure. Your pet will be treated like part of the family while they’re here! 🐾❤️
About: Animals have and always will be an integral part of my human nature. To make sure animals are provided with exercise, love and compassion are ways I express my values as an animal advocate. Keeping routine is my forte. I have most experience with dogs, all breeds and sizes! Walking is how I keep routine and promote a sense of well being for both my own animals and others 😌 Currently seeking full time pet care. Exercise takes time and I enjoy the physical aspect of a healthy lifestyle. Keeping a balance of short and or long walks. Depending on the breed I could make exercise minimal or lengthy. Currently I have a 15ft by 5ft outdoor kennel. Yard is well maintained with space and away from any roads. Private residence. I keep my small dog on a lead. Lead is also an option for other animals. My yard has plenty of space for playtime and fetching.
“Ella is wonderful! She is outgoing, friendly, and an excellent communicator. More important, she clearly adores dogs. She quickly bonded with our shy & anxious girl, Mina, at their first meeting. As well, Ella was unflustered when I realized I'd scheduled the wrong day for one of Mina's walks. Thankfully, she was able to accommodate my (very) last-minute revision! We will definitely request Ella again!!”

About: Hi! My name is Andrea. I have lived in the Hudson Valley for almost 4 years now, and have been working in the area off and on since 2014. I live with my partner, Mike, and precious pups Kona and Desi. I have always lived with dogs. I am an Occupational Therapist in a school district full time and love to farm and bicycle during my off time. I’ve done house sitting and dog sitting previously and enjoyed the work. I have my own vehicle and am used to commuting around the Hudson Valley for work and for fun. I wanted to get back into dog sitting and pet sitting to assist in getting a new car and to get to spend time with pets! I have always been obsessed with dogs! I show that through meeting as many as I can when out in the community :). I am active person, so long walks and playing is something I can provide. I am open to any requests you might have and am great at keeping in touch with pet parents. I can always be available through text, call, or email. I’m so excited to meet you and your lovely pets!! I have a full time job, so weekends are my only availability. However, I am open to discuss any special circumstances! I might potentially be more available on a long weekend, when I am off from my school based job. I would want to care for your pets as you would or how you would want. I am great with a schedule and specific requests.
“This was Cassandra’s first time meeting Ellie and Mia, and she was fantastic! Although Ellie and Mia can be shy around new people, they warmed up to Cassandra right away and had a wonderful walk with her. I’d feel confident having her walk or dog-sit for them anytime.”

“Saskia was absolutely fantastic! She took such wonderful care of our two energetic dogs and our energetic cat, and we couldn't have been happier. She truly went above and beyond, staying in constant communication with us the whole time we were away and sending photos and updates that really put our minds at ease. She put an incredible amount of heart into caring for our pets—she easily gave one hundred and fifty to two hundred percent—and her response time was incredibly fast.”
“Christine has been a great “second home” for Tyr. He goes barreling in the door as soon as he sees her. It is wonderful to know he is so happy to be dropped off there and we know he is well taken care of. We would highly recommend Christine.”
“Amanda was amazing! I was so glad that we had a meet and greet beforehand so I could make sure my pup felt comfortable with her and her two dogs. My dog warmed up to them quickly, and I knew that he would be in good hands. Amanda was great with him and sent me updates with photos and videos. My dog felt right at home! Amanda is very professional and kind, and the fact that she is a Vet Tech is a bonus! I will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Amanda!”
“Janice was amazing! I will definitely leave my dog Beau with her again! She has so much love for all animals and we felt so at peace leaving Beau for his first dog-sitting visit. There is so much space for the dogs to run and play and I knew he was in great hands:)”
“This was our second time using Caroline as our dog sitter, always a great experience! She’s very communicative, sent us updates, and took such great care of our puppy while we were away for two nights. We plan to book with Caroline again and highly recommend her!”
“Peter was such a wonderful sitter. His updates were timely and detailed and I felt confident that Nutmeg was cared for, happy, and healthy during her stay. I will definitely ask Peter to sit again if I’m ever in the area again.”
“Olga was wonderful!! She took such great care of Brutus and sent lots of updates with pictures, which I loved. An especially great sitter if your fur baby needs all-day supervision for any reason!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with Cipriana. She's knowledgeable, caring and responsible. It was nice that she contacted me to let me know how the dogs were getting along with her dogs and sent pictures as well. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Gab is just great with Harper. This is our second time boarding her at Gab’s. We are so fortunate to have found him and his wife Annie. Now we can go away and feel very relaxed. They even taught her to go up and down a full flight of stairs. Harper loves to socialize with Gab and the other dogs. Great place to leave your pet. Everyone is happy all around.”
“Jane is an amazing doggie caregiver. She clearly adores the canines and is kind and gentle with them. Her home is clean and set up to accommodate her guests. Her communication is prompt and she keeps You in the loop with pictures and videos. We are so glad we found Jane and will use her again.”
“Jeff was terrific. We contacted him at the last minute and he welcomed Melo with open arms. Melo was so relaxed when we arrived, it was obvious that he enjoyed his time with Jeff.”
“We had SUCH a wonderful experience with Meghan & Sean—and so did our pup! Our 3yo dog is nervous around new people and can be reactive. We were worried about how she would do staying with a family with young kids. Meghan & Sean listed to our worries and helped up brainstorm ways to put our dog at ease. And it worked like a charm! We were so grateful to the extra time Meghan & Sean spent to make both the humans and the doggo feel positive about the plan. We loved getting pics of the crew on their daily walks. It was also really really REALLY nice to see how much love Meghan and fam have for all animals, and how positive they were about our sometimes tricky dog. Our dog had a great week and we will definitely return to Meghan & Sean for future doggy needs, whether it is another week or a shorter visit. Highly recommend, zero notes!”
About: I was raised in a positive pet friendly family environment and had my own dogs and cats for more than twenty years. I can handle large, medium, and small dogs and will look to give them long walks and lots of exercise as a good dog is a tired dog. I work full-time but have plenty of free time during the week and on weekends to feed, walk, play fetch, or just hang out with your dog. I am happy to come to your home and walk your dog and or play at a local dog park, I am familiar with dogs from Yorkshire Terriers and Kings Charles Spaniels to Rottweilers and German Shepards.
“Kate has a very warm demeanor and my first impression when I brought our dog Astrid over to her house for a meet and greet before boarding, was that she would care for our dog as if she were her own. Astrid is usually quite anxious when she’s first introduced to a new person and a new environment, but she appeared to be more at ease much quicker with Kate at her house than she typically is. Kate sent us regular pictures and updates, was very flexible about our schedule for pickup and drop-off, prompt and easy to communicate with, and we didn’t worry about Astrid at all. We will certainly reach out to Kate again when planning future boarding accommodations for our sweet Astrid.”
“This is our second time having our dog stay with Deanne. My dog has a great time with her. She has been extremely flexible with unexpected changes in our travel plans and the pup hates to leave her home. We will continue to use her services!”
“Mary and Todd were wonderful hosts to our 4 month old puppy, June. Everything was handled very easily and leaving her behind with such nice people was really comforting. She even got a longer walk than she would have with us!”
“Mildred and her family provided excellent care for my dog Mochi. She was also very friendly and professional in the way she related to me. I would certainly recommend her as a pet care provider.”
“Thalya did great with my pup Apollo! She took him out for long walks to get his energy out and sent frequent updates and pictures letting me know how things were going. Highly recommended! I felt at ease knowing my pup was in good hands.”
