“My girl Josie had a fantastic time with Nicole; she was well-cared for, well-loved and I received daily updates and pics of all the fun she was having. I highly recommend Nicole and will certainly use her again!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Christine was the best! Our dogs felt comfortable and excited to hang out with her right away, and it’s clear that she loves all animals and that they love her in return. She sent many adorable photos and updates, which we appreciated, and even led our dogs in an amazing art project. We picked them up a few hours ago and they are both still sleeping off their weekend of fun. Definitely recommend!”
“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 so great. My dog loved being there, and I felt so comfortable leaving her with Janice. I knew she was cared for. It was so great to receive constant updates from Janice with pictures. My dog can’t wait to go back.”
“We Love Caroline! She sent the sweetest update pics and was lovely to work with. Easy communication, good vibes all around. I’ll def be contacting her again for hangs with my pup.”
“Mary and Todd did an excellent job watching my Tobi. He has separation anxiety and they took good care of him, sending pictures and updates. I will definitely use there services again.”
“Brooke was an absolute delight! She was incredibly helpful and accommodating, making me feel at ease leaving my dog with her for five days so I could finally enjoy a much-needed family vacation. I truly appreciated Brooke’s check-ins during this time, ensuring that my dog was doing well. It was a huge relief to know that my dog was in good hands.”
“Deanne was great! My husband and I both felt like we were in good hands. We loved the photo updates that she sent — we could see that our dog was happy and well cared for. Will use her services again!”
“Cipriana is such a god send for us and we feel so lucky to have found her! We recently went away and left our somewhat neurotic, but sweet Chiweenie, Nova, in her care. Not only did she give us daily updates on how she was adjusting, she even sent pictures that were really appreciated. We plan on using Cipriana all the time when we need someone to watch Nova because we feel we can totally trust the care and safety she gave our sweet pooch.”
“Franny took wonderful care of my 14 year old Charlie overnight. She’s a very kind person and Charlie felt completely comfortable with her. He also got along well with her dog. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Our dog Stanley seemed very happy when we picked him up. He was so comfortable with Marianne that he was lying on the sofa with her after he greeted us. to me that is a sign that he was happy.”
“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!”
“Our dogs had a great time at Jane's! She sent daily pictures, which we appreciated. Our older dog is very much a lap dog, so we were thankful that she could spend the weekend with caring and attentive people!”
“Charlie had a great time with Nicole! I appreciated the videos and photos she shared of Charlie during his stay. She took excellent care of him and I look forward to booking with her again soon. Highly recommend ⭐️✨?”
“Taylor was incredible with my pups and went above and beyond washing their crates. They seemed super happy over a long stay. My dogs are not easy to handle and she was able to handle them very well. Much appreciated and would 10/10 book with Taylor again!!!”

“Ashley was amazing! We were in constant communication, she sent a ton of pictures, and I could enjoy being away knowing my three kitties were well taken care of. There was inclement weather and she still found a way to get to my place and take care of my kitties. Thank you so much Ashley!!”
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.
“Ellen has house sat for us a few times and does a fantastic job every time. My two elderly cats have several medical needs that keep changing and she is always able to adhere to them. They both usually miss me a lot when I get home, but not so much when Ellen is watching them. She is incredibly responsible and trustworthy to house sit (which is very scary when dealing with someone you don’t know). Highly recommended!”
“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!”
“Nicole is the perfect sitter - she’s communicative, punctual, and cares about her pet charges as well as their humans. Viv was so happy to see her in all the photos she sent - what a pleasure to work with her! Viv will miss her and is already wondering when I’m going away again, so she can see Nicole! Thank you!!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“The second time Christine stayed with Suki, my kitty was totally comfortable with her. Watching the two of them upon my return home, I could see there was a real bond between them. Beyond ensuring a pet's physical needs are being met, its emotional well-being is the most important and most challenging thing a pet sitter needs to provide for. I am happy that I can be away from home knowing that Suki will be cared for and contented in her own space with someone she trusts and loves. Christine kept me well informed with updates and photos while I was away, too, which kept ME happy!”
About: 🐾 Whether your family includes playful pups, curious cats, chatty birds, colorful fish, happy chickens, friendly goats, tiny hamsters, busy gerbils, or any other beloved pets, I care for them with the same love and attention I would give my own. I know there's no substitute for you, but while you're away, I will make sure your furry, feathered, and four-legged friends receive plenty of care, companionship, playtime, cuddles, and personalized attention to keep tails wagging and hearts happy. And because caring for a home goes hand in hand with caring for pets, I am also happy to help with everyday household tasks like watering plants, bringing in mail, managing trash and recycling, hanging pictures, and tackling small repairs. My goal is simple: happy pets, a cared-for home, and complete peace of mind for you. 🐾❤️🏡
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.
About: I’ve been caring for and raising cats since I was a kid, and they’ve always had a special place in my heart. My experience includes everything from everyday cat care to bottle-feeding tiny kittens who lost their mom and needed around-the-clock love and attention. ❤️ I truly have a passion for caring for these beautiful babies and treat every cat like they’re one of my own. Whether your kitty is playful and social or prefers love on their own terms, I’m happy to give them the care, patience, cuddles, and attention they deserve. 🐾🐱
“Janice was great! Our cats are really shy and she was so gentle and patient with them. Her home is friendly and cozy. She was easy to communicate with and very responsive. We’d send our cats there any time!!”
“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.”
“Sophie took wonderful care of our two kittens while we were away on a long trip. Since it was our first time using a sitter, we were pretty nervous but she was very communicative and attentive which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell that she was going above and beyond to make sure they had lots of love and attention. When we came home, it was clear they had been well cared for—happy, healthy, and content. We’re so grateful and would love for Sophie to watch our girls again sometime.”
About: I have had cats my entire life and have come to the conclusion that they are my favorite animal. I have been told many times that I’m going to end up becoming “the crazy cat lady”, if that says anything! I know how nerve-racking it can be to have to leave your fur baby back home while you are away. I can assure you that they will be getting plenty of love and will be in great hands.
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 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: Now accepting new bookings for spring and summer 2026 🐶 🌞 🏝️ 🐈 🌈 🌍 Hello! I'm Patrick. I’m a writer and journalist, who loves going on walks. I also love animals! I have cared for my own dog, Zoey, since I was a little boy, she was one of my best friends growing up.

I very much look forward to meeting your special friend! :) I work remotely so I have all of the time in the world to care for your pup or kitty! We can schedule something that works for all of us. I have a yard with no fence, am surrounded by great walking streets with little traffic, a spacious two bedroom apartment with plenty of space to roam and plenty of comfortable chairs and couch space for naps and cuddles.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Copake
“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.”
“Christine was phenomenal with our pups! Beau is still a baby (5mo) and I was super nervous about his first time at ”camp”, but Christine kept me updated and put me totally at ease. Both Beau and Coco loved her and we could not be more thankful for finding someone so perfect for them while we are in town. Thanks again!!”
“Saskia has a lovely home and managed all the different dogs in her care, including her two adorable Pomeranians, so seamlessly. I felt very comfortable knowing she had everything under control. She sent me cute pictures and updates throughout the day. I would highly recommend her to anyone traveling through the area who wants peace of mind knowing their little ones are being cared for with love and attention!”
“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.”
“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! :)”
About: Hi y'all! I am an all around animal lover. My girls and I take any dogs that we are watching on walks with us every night, we have lots of fun. Pets are allowed on the furniture, unless you state explicitly state you don't want them to be. I prefer not to kennel overnight, but there are always exceptions to the rule! I am able to help with puppies and older pups alike; age is not an issue. Please ask any questions you may have for me, thank you so much we can’t wait to meet you! I am currently working part time but I am always available for nightly drop ins or for any early morning stops on my way in. I am always respectful of your safety protocols, gates are always double and triple checked, doors are always checked to be shut correctly. Food and water levels are consistently monitored. Instructions are always followed to the letter.
“Jane is wonderful! She went out of her way to help us when we had some issues with the app and with scheduling. She was clear and kind with our dog who can sometimes be a little anxious. Our pup felt right at home as soon as she walked into Jane’s house and was happily exhausted by the end of the day. Thank you, Jane! We will be back soon!”
“Diana and her family provided day care to my puppy Jolene and I cannot say enough good things. She is a wonderful and attentive sitter and provided great care. I would definitely recommend her.”
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.
About: I'll provide constant supervision of your pet. I enjoy interacting with animals. Although I am not a professional dog handler I have had a dog in the house for the past 12 years. I will do my best to provide competent care for your pet. I am currently retired from the Columbia County jail, after completing 23 years. I am a Navy veteran. My wife and I have twin boys who are all grown up and out of the house. As a result of this I have become a little bored. I would appreciate your consideration when deciding on who to entrust the care of your pet while you are away. You will be able to be rest assured that they are being taken care of. I am usually available all the time except for the occasional vacation I might go on. Weekends are no problem either. I am pretty much available year round. I like to hang out with my dog all day. Adding more animals to the mix is no problem. I like taking walks with them and I also have a fenced yard.
“My dog had an AMAZING time with Nicole. He can be a bit anxious, but warmed right up to her and really enjoyed spending the day napping on the couch and taking walks. If I ever find myself needing a sitter in the area again I would rebook with Nicole in a heartbeat, especially since she even has fenced in areas outside that would be amazing when the weather warms up.”

“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.”
“Kacey came to walk our pup Lotte on Thanksgiving, Lotte was very excited to have the company and Kacey even sent us some pics of the cats as well who came downstairs to say hello! Would hire Kacey again!”

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: 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 have alot of experience with horse sized dogs and little obes alike, its important to me that they get the love they miss from their owners. Im currently going to school partime and learning the area so i have tons of time to go for walks or play with your fur baby and keep up their schedule. I want to make sure both of our spaces are respected, i like to keep places as nice as i left them so i try to take an hour to spot clean anywhere ive been or where your pet may have made a mess and leave it tidy. I do the same for my home, i clean after every visitor.
About: I’m a pre-vet major with a love for all animals, especially dogs! I’m 19 years old, a full time student, and have 5 years of dogsitting and dog walking experience! I have a soft spot for older dogs, as well as experience caring for young litters of pups! I walk some of my clients’ dogs in their own backyard trails, and a few I transport to local parks for our walks. I love all of my clients dogs like they’re my own, and take special care to encourage their interests, and adapt our time together to fit their personality and needs! I have 6 repeat clients that I’ve met through rover, and treasure the time that I spend with their pets. The reoccurring clients I’ve had for 8 months have become a staple in my life, and a regular in my routine. It’s so special to be the part of the week that a dog looks forward to!! Booking a few weeks in advance is a good way to ensure I’m able to work around YOUR schedule! I take pride in caring for your pets like they are my own! As a dog owner myself, I understand the importance of not only respecting your dog’s boundaries, but also the rules you have for your dog! If you or your pet need to be accommodated in any way I’ll do my best to make it happen!

“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!!”

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 great with a schedule and specific requests.

About: Animals kept me safe my entire life, now I return the favor by keeping your babies safe while you’re away. ❤️ I have been working with animals my whole life. At only 3 I moved in with my step father onto a small farm(yes this means I can feed your chickens, gather your eggs, clean your stalls, and feed your cattle, pigs, or even horses). I spent three years working in the veterinary field where I learned to better understand and triage animal emergency and how to deal with them calmly and safely. I have 3 dogs, and 2 cats of my own as well as a bearded dragon and a few chickens, whom I love more than life. I have minimal boarding experience, but have had or worked with everything from fish and birds, to dogs to cattle, from snakes to horses, and I love each one of these creatures just as much as the rest. I adore all animals, and cherish my pets so much, and finding some one you can trust to REALLY care for them can be a challenge, so let me make your life a little easier with flexible, reliable, patient and gentle care. As a pet mom to 11 furry, scaly, and feathered babies, I know how hard it can be to find reliable pet care. My animals are my children, my babies; the most important things in my world. I promise to love yours the way I’d love my own. I am currently unemployed and taking a leap. What I’d LOVE is to start my own pet care company. I know how hard it is to find pet care in and around the Berkshires, especially the holidays when all the day cares and well known sitters are booked - so let me take some of that weight off you. I’m flexible and reliable and can do drops ins, walks, day stays, over nights, or multiple day stays. I’m open to any animal type, including pocket pets, exotics and special needs. What can I say? Pets are really the only thing most of us like in this crazy world; so it’s kind of the perfect job. 😉 I am open to all types of care, all types of animals, and all types of situations. I have experience in vet medicine and have had elderly and special needs animals my whole life. No matter how long my interaction with your baby is, I assure you it will be filled with love.

“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.”
“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.”
“Christine was the best! Our dogs felt comfortable and excited to hang out with her right away, and it’s clear that she loves all animals and that they love her in return. She sent many adorable photos and updates, which we appreciated, and even led our dogs in an amazing art project. We picked them up a few hours ago and they are both still sleeping off their weekend of fun. Definitely recommend!”
“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 so great. My dog loved being there, and I felt so comfortable leaving her with Janice. I knew she was cared for. It was so great to receive constant updates from Janice with pictures. My dog can’t wait to go back.”
“We Love Caroline! She sent the sweetest update pics and was lovely to work with. Easy communication, good vibes all around. I’ll def be contacting her again for hangs with my pup.”
“Mary and Todd did an excellent job watching my Tobi. He has separation anxiety and they took good care of him, sending pictures and updates. I will definitely use there services again.”
“Deanne was great! My husband and I both felt like we were in good hands. We loved the photo updates that she sent — we could see that our dog was happy and well cared for. Will use her services again!”
“Cipriana is such a god send for us and we feel so lucky to have found her! We recently went away and left our somewhat neurotic, but sweet Chiweenie, Nova, in her care. Not only did she give us daily updates on how she was adjusting, she even sent pictures that were really appreciated. We plan on using Cipriana all the time when we need someone to watch Nova because we feel we can totally trust the care and safety she gave our sweet pooch.”
“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!”
“Our dogs had a great time at Jane's! She sent daily pictures, which we appreciated. Our older dog is very much a lap dog, so we were thankful that she could spend the weekend with caring and attentive people!”
“Charlie had a great time with Nicole! I appreciated the videos and photos she shared of Charlie during his stay. She took excellent care of him and I look forward to booking with her again soon. Highly recommend ⭐️✨?”
“Taylor was incredible with my pups and went above and beyond washing their crates. They seemed super happy over a long stay. My dogs are not easy to handle and she was able to handle them very well. Much appreciated and would 10/10 book with Taylor again!!!”
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.
“Katherine was a great sitter. She really loves dogs and my dog Tyson had the greatest time her and her dog Tilly. They got along really well. Thank you so much for loving my dog for the weekend! It's so comforting to know your dog is having a great time while you are away.”
“This was Rae's third stay with Tina and Jordan, and once again they were absolutely wonderful. As repeat clients, we already knew Rae would be in great hands, but they still exceeded our expectations. They sent plenty of photos and videos throughout her stay, which we always appreciate, and it was clear from every update that Rae was happy, comfortable, and treated like part of the family. Seeing how excited she is to be with them gives us so much peace of mind when we're away. Tina and Jordan are kind, communicative, and genuinely care about the dogs they watch. It's not easy leaving your dog behind, but knowing Rae is with people who love and care for her as much as they do makes all the difference. We wouldn't hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”
