“Dew is the best of the best! From our first meet & greet to everything in between, Dew was responsive, flexible, and loved our pup as if he was her own. Our Bucky is quite the energetic pup and she went above and beyond to assure he was taken care of in just the right way. We can’t thank her more and will be booking with her again soon.”

“We are so happy to have found Erika! She takes great care of our 19lb doodle and sends lots of photos. She’s super easy to communicate with and is very personable as well.”

“I had a last minute request and Jomini responded almost immediately and saved the day. She asked questions to make sure my dog had the proper precautions to be outdoors at her place and checked with me about any specific schedule before drop off. She was super responsive and flexible with timing for drop off / pick up. She sent so many pictures of my dog and I could see he was having a great time!”

“This was our second time boarding Billie with Sonia and her family, and we are so glad to have found someone local who takes such good care of Billie! Thank you to Sonia, Brian, and Vivian!”

“Saori was great. Our one year old lab was in heaven at their place. We received a puppy that was well cared for and had gotten a lot of socialization and exercise is a safe environment.”

“Lucienne did a wonderful job watching our dog Cooper over a long weekend. She sent updates and photos throughout the weekend. Cooper came back happy and we would definitely recommend and use Lucienne again.”

“Our energetic pup had another wonderful, week-long stay with Nicole! She has him running, playing and feeling comfortable in her care. Monty comes home good and tired but never stressed after away from his regular routine. Nicole has become our peace of mind when traveling without our pet. We trust, value and appreciate her, every time!”

“Rosemarie and her family are the best!!! My dogs Judy and Elroy loved staying with them. They didn't miss us at all! it's so nice to have a place for my dogs to stay where they are able to do the things they normally do ie: lay on the couch, roll around on the grass, meet other dogs (which they don't get to do very often), get treats and much love. They aren't stuck in a cage laying on a cold concrete floor, like other places. Rosemarie genuinely loves and cares for the dogs that she watches. She makes the owners feel very at ease by sending text messages and photos everyday about how they're doing. I will definitely use Rosemarie again. Thank you, Rosemarie!! xxx”

“Lily was super accommodating and shared lots of photo of our puppy while we were away. Gracie-May seemed to have lots of fun staying with Lily and co. Many thanks!”

“Michele was awesome. She’s super friendly and made me feel very comfortable about caring for Hershey. When she was watching him she sent me pictures periodically to let me know that all was well. We will definitely reach out to Michele in the future!!”


“We boarded our 8 years old foxhound twice with Farva so far. Zillow came back home happy and well rested. We are so grateful we found Farva. We will definately book again next time we are out of town.”

“Sue was great. Really patient and accommodating. My pup was returned to me happy and healthy. Her husband was also very nice and they both seemed very confident and comfortable with my pup who’s a 48lb pittie. Thank you Sue and Franky. We appreciated your care and attention to our fur baby. Sue also sent regular selfies of the pup and was quick to reply to messages.”

“First time using Rachel C’s services and could not be more pleased. Rachel was helpful on the drop off and pick of our lab and she communicates everyday with great updates. Our lab Milo made some friends and seemed to really enjoy his time visiting at Rachel’s. Strong recommendation for your furry friends.”

“Marie was so wonderful to Madison (!!!!). Although I was far away, they kept me updated with pictures and texts along the way. I appreciate all that Marie does and couldn't ask for a better sitter.”

“Our dogs had a fantastic stay with Rich! We got multiple photo and video updates throughout the day so we never had to worry about how it was going. He does watch multiple dogs at the same time but we were happy with the socialization for our pups. We had a meet and great ahead of time so I think Rich screens the dogs for temperament. Huge fenced in yard with double gate to prevent slipping out. I wouldn’t hesitate to send my pups back to Rich!”

“Katharine has been amazing with Murphy. He's a needy and anxious dog and she's handled him so very well and communicates with texts and pictures to assure me the entire time I am away. She's loving and enjoys exercising Murphy every day which is what he needs. I feel very safe and secure with Katharine caring for my dog and would highly recommend her to anyone and I will definitely be using her again over and over.”

“Ryan EXCEEDED my expectations! He has an intuitive way with dogs. He is very knowledgable about dogs & dog behavior. Ryan is the real deal-- a true animal lover & kind, decent human being. He communicated well with pics and updates during my dog's visit. During our initial meeting I felt an instant rapport he had with my dog that put me at ease. His home is VERY dog-centric! The visiting dogs are not confined and are free to mingle and find their own place to relax. There are ample dog beds, couches, human beds and floor space for lounging and sleeping. I especially appreciate that Ryan limits the number of dogs he boards at one time to a very small group, & makes sure they vibe well together beforehand. The living space Ryan and his boarders occupy is all on one level, which is great for my dog with arthritis. There is a wooded trail for walks adjoining the yard, and a guest bedroom if a dog needs some quiet alone time. I would HIGHLY recommend Ryan and I plan to use him again!”

“Natasha and Hamir took wonderful care of our beagle mix. They sent updates and photos daily. He was very comfortable with them which made our trip more enjoyable to know he was in such great care.”

About: I grew up with a loved dog and spent countless joyful hours caring for, playing with and training her. In addition to growing up with a dog, I had the pleasure of intermittently watching my neighbors’ dogs for the past four years and each experience has deepened my love for our furry friends. You can trust that your pets will receive abundant love and attention while you’re away. Having navigated my own dog’s seizures, I’m well-equipped to handle any situation and comfortable administering medication if needed. I can clean up after animals in any regard and am comfortable bathing them if necessary. Your pets will be in compassionate and capable hands. Pet care is something I look forward too every day. Each day, I will dedicate specific times for walks, play and feeding, ensuring that your pets’ needs are fully met. While I work a full-time job, I am ready to accommodate my schedule during the week. I’m available for dog walking or dog sitting or cat sitting after 5 PM on Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays. On the weekends, I have even more flexibility, allowing for extended playtime and quality moments with your pets. I have no pets at home, creating a calm and comfortable environment for your pets. If it helps them feel more at ease, I can easily section off a room just for your dog or cat. I also have a long leash available, allowing for plenty of fun and exploration in a safe space. My goal is to provide a stress-free atmosphere for your pets. I’m more than happy to come to your home as well, ensuring they remain in a familiar setting that minimizes anxiety.

“Thank you so very much Rebecca for spending extra time with Finbar during this tough time! It is such a nice feeling to know your pet is safe, sound, and happy while on vacation.”

“Finally found another really great cat person. Kelsey is fantastic! She is dependable and cat savvy. Kelsey also took care of our plants. We returned home to two calm and contented felines. Doesn’t appear that they missed us very much (:”

“Melissa made us feel so comfortable knowing our dog was being so well taken care of. Her updates and pictures are great. She is reliable and compassionate. Thank you Melissa!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have been around dogs my whole life. I have a 6 year old Great Pyrenees mix that I’ve had since he was a puppy, and he’s about 180 pounds, so I’m very comfortable with large dogs. I’ve also cared for numerous dogs of all sizes for friends, family, and neighbors. I know every dog is different, and I always try to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m currently in university and have a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I’ll always do my best to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort by following your instructions, respecting their routine, and working with their little quirks and personality. I’ll make sure they feel happy, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect and care that I would want for my own.
About: Animals bring joy to our world, and specifically to my world! I am happy and honored to care for your loved ones! With 15 years of experience caring for Dogs, Cats (and Bears oh my), Fish, Turtles, I have time-tested experience with success, and increasing enjoyability! I have a calm demeanor which has been in part inspired folks to call me a "dog whisperer." I will have an immediate, positive impact on your loved ones life, and want to be of service to our sacred pet community! I'm a recent Law graduate, looking for the next chapter of my adventure; and in the meantime I'd be honored to spend time taking the best care of your pet(s)! I believe all animals deserve compassion, attention, and a reliable food schedule/walks outside! I'll adhere to YOUR specific requests, I am here to serve YOU!
“We can always count on Maria to take care of our 2 cats while we’re away. This is our third time with her and we trust her completely, she has done an amazing job every time! A bonus is she sends the best pictures of your pets while you’re away - which we really appreciate since we miss them so much! Thank you Maria!”


“Our beloved fur-boy is Garrett, a 4-year-old Siberian Husky who loves Richie! Just recently, we went away for a 5-day trip and had to leave Garrett at home. Luckily, we met Richie and hired him to do drop-in visits, 3 times a day, for the entire time we were away. Richie made sure that Garrett was taken out for his potty breaks, took him for walks and provided the kind of service and care that he needed. Richie delivered beyond my expectations. He is very reliable, dependable and communicated really well, providing us with updates and feedbacks. From now onwards, he is my to-go-to person whenever we need a back up care for Garrett!”


“We have a cat that needs pills at very specific times and really appreciated that Hallie was always on time and communicated about how the pill went! That level of responsibility and communication helped put me at ease leaving him and let me enjoy my trip for once!”


About: Ive lived with cats ever since I remember, around 2022 I begun caring for a disabled cat, Nippet, who's jaw was broken and permanently deformed. I had to make a special blend of food she could eat, bathe her multiple times a month and feed her medicine as needed. I'm personally cats over dogs kind of gal and I understand cats have boundaries and their own set of needs. I am more then happy to fulfill any kitty needs

About: Growing up I have had animals all the time such as dogs, cats, hamsters, fishes, etc. I am good at taking care of them and knowing how to help! I will have plenty of time to walk and care for you animal! I always have time to walk or care for you animal whenever you will need it. I live in an apartment building near 2 ponds and a park so there would be plenty of time for walks. There is a fenced in area specifically for dogs to run around and play as well.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for cats of all personalities—from calm and cuddly to independent and a little feisty. At home, I care for my own sweet and feisty kitty, Zelda, so I’m very familiar with the balance of patience, playfulness, and respecting a cat’s unique mood and boundaries. I’m comfortable with daily routines like feeding, litter care, playtime, and making sure each cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“I highly recommend Nicole. She took care of my 3 cats while away for 1 week. She made sure they were all fed and well cared for- sending me video updates. By accident my cleaning lady let them out but Nicole made sure they all came safely home. When I arrived home the place was spotless.”

“I cannot put into words how wonderful this man is . He truly gave my babies- Charlie,Grizzly and Boots awesome care and unconditional love. Every day he sent pictures to me so i would not worry. They were spoiled and truly care for. Thank you Linda & Gus.”

“Dew goes above and beyond for my puppy. Checks in regularly when he is in her care and even checks in when he is at home. As a first time user of a dog-sitter, I was anxious about leaving my puppy in someone else’s care. Dew almost immediately alleviated my concerns. I feel like her care has been a major benefit for me and for my puppy’s social development. Will continue to take advantage of Dew’s services for the foreseeable future. Highly recommended!”

“I needed a dog sitter at the last minute because of a schedule change at work. Kait to the rescue! Kait was super easy to communicate with and very responsive and attentive to our pups needs. She sent me updates throughout the day and took excellent care of our Cardi. We will absolutely request her services again. Thanks so much Kait!”


About: Hello I have been watching dogs for several years now. I truly love the companionship of dogs. I have watched many breeds of dogs including Labradors, Pit Bulls, Yorkies, you name it. I have many dog toys at home and a sizeable yard for the dog to go potty in. I also have a large home so your pet will have plenty of space to roam around. I will send pictures daily and let you know how your dog is doing. If your dog has any special needs or requires any sort of medical attention I will be there to provide the required assistance. I also have a small dog at home and she loves the company of other dogs. I hope to hear from you soon!
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a child. I owned two Miniature Pinschers growing up and I adopted one Australian Shepherd mix that has special needs as an adult. I trained all of my dogs from the time they were puppies until they passed away as seniors. I also volunteered at the Humane Society of Westchester. I've always enjoyed being around animals since I was young and animals tend to feel the same way about me. Animals who are usually timid around strangers are comfortable around me right away and they seem to trust me right away. I feel like connecting with animals (dogs specifically) is a gift that I have. Being a sitter is a great way for me to use that gift in everyday life. New clients get a free 2027 desk calendar that has photos of my clients and my dog as well (check my photos for a preview). I'm able to adapt to the normal routine of the pets that I'm sitting in order to make the process as smooth as possible. I don't have a lot of room in my studio apartment so I'm only able to watch either 1-2 small dogs or one medium sized dog. Large dogs are too big for my apartment. If I'm at a client's home, I'll change my schedule to meet the needs of the pet. I believe all animals are unique and all have different needs in order to thrive in the environment that they're in. I'm willing to meet those needs by building my schedule around the animals that I'm sitting.

“Chloe is the best! She took care of my 10 month old puppy, Hazel, while I was at work for the day & Hazel had the best time! She loved running around with Chloe’s two sweet puppies who are so friendly and playful! Chloe sent me several updates, pictures and videos throughout the day. I could tell she made a special effort to help Hazel feel comfortable in her new environment for the day. Highly recommended, will be calling Chloe again for doggy daycare soon!”
About: Hello! My name is Daphne. Since I was a little girl, I have had a huge passion and love for dogs. I have grown up with bully breeds for my entire life. From Rottweilers to Pit bulls, to American Bulldogs. I currently have an Olde English Bulldog who is the princess of our family. I have a huge love for dogs but specifically bully breeds. I understand how strong they are when going for walks and how much love they have to give. I have experience working at a dog kennel in Putnam Valley taking care of multiple dogs at a time, big and small. I also take care of my neighbors 3 black labs when she is away multiple times a year. I currently work remote so I am available any time during the weekday. I do require a few days advanced noticed so I can plan my schedule! I am able to provide fresh food and water for dogs. I will also ensure dogs get regular walks and exercise as per their usual routine.

“Irene has made my experience using Rover so easy and carefree. This is my first time leaving my dog, and she is extremely confident with her handling. I enjoy the pictures and updates she sends me throughout the day too!”

About: I have been an animal lover my whole life, but didn’t truly realize my appreciation for them until high school when I started pet sitting (over ten years ago!) I would watch my friends’ pets when they were on vacation, and felt compelled to make the pets’ stay with me a vacation as well 🐶😊. Since I started watching dogs I always considered them my PIC (partner in crime.). I take them with me on all my adventuress! They meet all my family and friends, and I have even taken a dog on a weekend trip to Block Island (with owners permission of course!) These days, I am home most of the day. I have a small business, which I run out of my home. I am home for majority of the day, but often have to step out for no more than 2 hours at a time. I typically give dogs 2 long walks (30-40 minutes) a day, and take them out in the yard and small walks down the street at least 5 times a day. They get potty breaks every 2-3 hours. I am a VERY active person. I am a marathon runner and avid hiker. No matter what your dog’s activity level is, I will be sure to tucker them out🐶😂. My typical morning and evening walk for dogs is a mile and a half around the reservoir trail in my back yard. I am more than happy to adjust to match your dog’s needs. I live on a small private street. My family and dear neighbors are all nearby. My large yard, close knit community, woods, reservoir trails and loving family truly is a paradise for dogs🐶😊❤️ My schedule varies every day. I can be in and out throughout the day, but never away from home for more than 2-3 hours at a a time. I am typically home for the day by 3pm. Some days I am home all day! It really depends on the week. I live alone and have no pets. I live in a private street with lots of land to explore. I never take dogs off leash when we are outside.
“Nicole is not only knowledgeable but you can feel how she loves taking care of animals! I appreciate so much the care she has provided and will using her again! Thank you 🙏🏻”

“Fergus our 1 year old had a wonderful time at Kyle's. He played all day and was very comfortable there. We will definitely book again and build up some overnights.Its a great relief to have found a safe place and a caring dog lover to watch him.”

“Highly recommend! My baby was well taken care of! Tinaclem was super friendly. When we arrived she introduced her dog with mine and brought them both to the back yard so she can get familiar with the yard and was very welcoming! Many walks and lots of pics for updates! ❤️My baby was pooped for days! She already misses Elvis! Sweet dog she has!”

“Wanda welcomes my pups warmly each time. They really enjoy all the play time including with her super sweet pup. No matter how much energy they come with she always tires them out. She has made them feel comfortable. They anxiously jump out of the car to greet her each time. We are really happy and will continue to use Wanda.”

“Briana was amazing! We came from California to NY and was our first time traveling with Miklo. It was a great experience! I would totally recommend her to anyone looking for a good pet nanny in the Patterson area, she was super sweet and very communicative and from the looks of it my pup looked like he had the best time!! It was my first time using Rover, but thanks to this experience I’m looking forward to booking again! Thanks Briana!! <3”

“We were visiting from out of town and needed daycare over the holidays. Laurie was available and amazing. Ollie was safe and happy and she sent lots of pictures to reassure us. How lucky we were to find her!”

About: Hi! My name is Gianna, and I offer reliable, caring pet care services for both dogs and cats. My services may include dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, potty breaks, basic cleanup, companionship, and photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I am also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, whether that means specific feeding instructions, favorite toys, preferred walking routes, or extra cuddle time. I have about 6 years of experience caring for pets, including dogs and cats with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I understand that every pet is different. Some pets need lots of activity and attention, while others need patience, gentleness, and time to warm up. I always try to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I take that responsibility seriously. I currently work from home and also attend school online, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend more quality time with pets. Because I am home often and not commuting to an office every day, I am able to provide attentive care, check-ins, and companionship throughout the day depending on your pet’s needs. I am doing pet care as a way to make school more manageable while also doing something I genuinely enjoy. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets like they are my own. Whether your pet needs a walk, a visit, playtime, feeding, or just someone kind and dependable to keep them company, I am happy to help. My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind. I am currently working full-time remotely but am looking to supplement my time with animal care. I have always loved animals and it’s important to me. I take it very seriously, I want everyone to know that I will love your animal as much as mine. I will always make sure that it is a delicate process.
“My dog loves to go to Stephen’s for doggie daycare and comes home tired from her day there. I feel comfortable having her there and I will be using Stephen again to watch my pup.”

About: Ive had multiple pets as long as ive been alive both cats and dogs! In high school I volunteered with a small dog adoption center in New Hampshire called Mary's dogs, where I worked with older dogs and puppy's in need of homes. I also took and animal science class in my Junior year and was dog CPR certified. I know basic animal first aid as well. Overall I absolutely adore animals of any kind and am willing to work with any pets! This is currently my only job, so I am available almost any time to spend time with and take care of your fuzzy family members. My preferred bookings is after 10am but I absolutely can make exceptions! I currently live with 2 dogs, a Labrador retriever and a Golden retriever, as well as 2 cats. I feed them all twice daily as well as keep multiple sources of water available around the house. I will be flexible and feed your animals with whatever schedule you give me!
“Walfredo has been tremendous! He is reliable, responsive and our dog loves him. Walfredo keeps us informed of everything and is communicative ahead of time if there are any changes. I highly recommend Walfredo to anyone looking for dog walking and pet sitting services.”

“Finding someone trustworthy to check in on our senior dog, Siena, was important to us, and Lisa has exceeded our expectations. She’s always reliable, keeps us in the loop, and you can tell she genuinely cares about what she does. Siena enjoys her visits and is comfortable with Lisa, which gives us such peace of mind. We feel so fortunate to have found Lisa!”

“We are so grateful to have found Joseph. Our mini poodle is quite skittish around people other than family, and Joseph showed great patience and understanding with her, allowing her to get comfortable on her own timeline. Now when he arrives, our dog is thrilled to see him and comes home from walks happy and relaxed. We also appreciate Joseph's dependability and reliability; we trust him completely.”

“We’ve used Richie several times to walk and feed our 2 pitties and could not be happier. He was professional, communicative, and loved on our babies while we were away. We are super picky about who we allow not only into our home, but to care with our doggies. Richie never disappointed! We will absolutely utilize him again in the future and recommend him to anyone looking for a great person to take care of your animals needs. Thanks Richie for being so great!”

About: I love dogs, I am very friendly and gentle with dogs and educated! I have owned dogs for my whole life and been surrounded by them from all of my family! I am working and going to school part time, so pet care is a big deal to me. wether it is my own dog, or somebody else’s I will never decline helping ! I always make sure I know my environment before walking or caring for your dog just so I can put my and your dogs safety first, anything you tell me I will listen to so no need to worry of anything happening!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to adapt to each pet’s unique needs. I have experience with everything from energetic puppies who need consistent training and playtime, to senior dogs who require gentle care, medication, and patience. I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable—whether it’s a long walk, structured routines, or just extra cuddles. You can count on me to treat your pet like family while keeping communication open and consistent. Being in college means I’m away from my own dog, who I cared for every day. Pet sitting helps fill that gap—I get to give other pets the same love, attention, and consistency I gave my own. I plan my days around classes so I always have plenty of time for walks, play, and cuddles. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do on the side—it’s something I genuinely miss and enjoy, which makes every visit special. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it my priority to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. Whether that means regular walks, feeding on schedule, playtime, or administering medications, I follow your instructions closely so your pet feels safe and cared for. I’ve always been a dependable and trustworthy person—throughout high school I was an honor roll student and someone people could rely on. Now in college, I bring that same reliability and dedication to pet care, treating every pet like they’re my own.
About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was little. Growing up, I was always around cats. My family always loved them, and we have always had multiple. I would also help take care of them. When I was a little older, we adopted a puppy, and I learned how to care for dogs as well. Now that I am older, I have a cat of my own. I have experience in giving medicine/special diets as my own animals have had many specific diets. I love all animals! I am a recent graduate of James Madison University who is home for the summer and looking to take care of some animals before going to graduate school this fall! :) I love all animals and have grown up with them my entire life. I do whatever I can to keep them happy and comfortable while in my care. I also have experience house/dog sitting for friends and neighbors. While your pet is in my care, I will be the only caregiver.

“Saori was great. Our one year old lab was in heaven at their place. We received a puppy that was well cared for and had gotten a lot of socialization and exercise is a safe environment.”

“Our energetic pup had another wonderful, week-long stay with Nicole! She has him running, playing and feeling comfortable in her care. Monty comes home good and tired but never stressed after away from his regular routine. Nicole has become our peace of mind when traveling without our pet. We trust, value and appreciate her, every time!”

“Michele was awesome. She’s super friendly and made me feel very comfortable about caring for Hershey. When she was watching him she sent me pictures periodically to let me know that all was well. We will definitely reach out to Michele in the future!!”


“We boarded our 8 years old foxhound twice with Farva so far. Zillow came back home happy and well rested. We are so grateful we found Farva. We will definately book again next time we are out of town.”

“Sue was great. Really patient and accommodating. My pup was returned to me happy and healthy. Her husband was also very nice and they both seemed very confident and comfortable with my pup who’s a 48lb pittie. Thank you Sue and Franky. We appreciated your care and attention to our fur baby. Sue also sent regular selfies of the pup and was quick to reply to messages.”

“First time using Rachel C’s services and could not be more pleased. Rachel was helpful on the drop off and pick of our lab and she communicates everyday with great updates. Our lab Milo made some friends and seemed to really enjoy his time visiting at Rachel’s. Strong recommendation for your furry friends.”

“Our dogs had a fantastic stay with Rich! We got multiple photo and video updates throughout the day so we never had to worry about how it was going. He does watch multiple dogs at the same time but we were happy with the socialization for our pups. We had a meet and great ahead of time so I think Rich screens the dogs for temperament. Huge fenced in yard with double gate to prevent slipping out. I wouldn’t hesitate to send my pups back to Rich!”

“Katharine has been amazing with Murphy. He's a needy and anxious dog and she's handled him so very well and communicates with texts and pictures to assure me the entire time I am away. She's loving and enjoys exercising Murphy every day which is what he needs. I feel very safe and secure with Katharine caring for my dog and would highly recommend her to anyone and I will definitely be using her again over and over.”

“Ryan EXCEEDED my expectations! He has an intuitive way with dogs. He is very knowledgable about dogs & dog behavior. Ryan is the real deal-- a true animal lover & kind, decent human being. He communicated well with pics and updates during my dog's visit. During our initial meeting I felt an instant rapport he had with my dog that put me at ease. His home is VERY dog-centric! The visiting dogs are not confined and are free to mingle and find their own place to relax. There are ample dog beds, couches, human beds and floor space for lounging and sleeping. I especially appreciate that Ryan limits the number of dogs he boards at one time to a very small group, & makes sure they vibe well together beforehand. The living space Ryan and his boarders occupy is all on one level, which is great for my dog with arthritis. There is a wooded trail for walks adjoining the yard, and a guest bedroom if a dog needs some quiet alone time. I would HIGHLY recommend Ryan and I plan to use him again!”

“Natasha and Hamir took wonderful care of our beagle mix. They sent updates and photos daily. He was very comfortable with them which made our trip more enjoyable to know he was in such great care.”

“Kyle was fantastic! He was very thorough and made a point to make sure our dog was gentle enough to be with other doggies together in a home. We got updates and pics of our chocolate brown lab pup a few times while we were away. He always made positive remarks on how he was doing. We would absolutely use Kyle again! I highly recommend!”

“Kathryn took such good care of Marley! She sent me updates every day and pictures! So happy to have found such a reliable, flexible, and easy to communicate with sitter for our fur baby!”


“Our boxer, Daisy, stayed with Valerie while we vacationed for a week in Florida. Valerie and her family were great from the start, not only with Daisy but also entertaining my eight year old son when we arrived for an introductory visit. They had plenty of room for Daisy to run around and two playful but well behaved dogs of their own that accepted Daisy in. Valerie provided updates during the week to let us know how Daisy was adapting and getting along with everyone and how much her family loved having her. She was also extremely flexible with drop off and pick up times knowing our hectic travel schedule. The next time we go away for an extended period, Valerie is definitely my first contact attempt.”
“My pup had a great time, and Jeff was very communicative sending lots of photos. I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with him and wouldn't hesitate to book again.”


“Arsenii was fantastic with our two dogs. Wonderful communication from the very start, updates with pictures and two very happy dogs on pickup. Recommend him VERY highly! Thank you Arsenii!”

“Jessica was great at watching Gwen! She was able to accommodate our last-minute request after another sitter cancelled. She was very communicative about Gwen’s stay and sent plenty of photos and updates. She took great care of our little pup!”

“I've used Veronica at least a couple times at this point and she has been nothing less thank fantastic. She has been fantastic at communication, great at scheduling room, and took amazing care of my Mika! Definitely bwill contact her again and I would encourage anyone to do the same.”
