“Kevin and his family were great dog sitters! They had our dog in their house for the weekend and she seemed to love it there. She had a chair she sat in, they took her on great walks and overall followed her routine. We would definitely use them again!”

“First time boarding with Randi and it was an incredibly smooth experience. Randi is extremely flexible and was a life saver for when we were away on a multi city driving trip. We were watching the weather in case we needed to abandon our plans and come back home mid trip. Randi was extremely flexible and accommodating and I am so grateful for that. Our dog is a picky eater and is also on some tricky meds…and Randi kept in touch with regular updates. She persevered with attempts to get her to eat both food and meds, until our dog did finally start to eat! Our dog came home happy and healthy! We will definitely board with Randi again!”

“Brittany was wonderful with my dog Stark. She took time to get to know him before he spent the week with her, introducing him to her dog, which was especially important as my dog can take a little while to warm up to people and pets. He went immediately to her! She listened to what I said about my dog's fears, as he is a rescue and he became part of the pack of dogs she was watching because of how great she was with him. He had a wonderful week and I loved getting picture and video updates.”

“Doreen is wonderful! It's the 2nd time we have left our 12-year-old Lab, RJ there. She takes wonderful care of him, is loving, experienced, and a great communicator! She sends us pictures and messages during his stay, which greatly puts my mind at ease! And she's very flexible! Highly recommend! I will most definitely use her next time we need to be away!”

“Diana is a lovely person and did great with our 2 dogs. This was our first time bringing them to a sitter and she made us feel at ease. She is very communicative and flexible, and sent us daily updates. I highly recommend her and we will definitely be booking again on our next trip!”

“Elizaveta was wonderful with our dog! She is warm, genuinely loves dogs, and was very flexible with scheduling. We especially appreciated the daily photos and videos she sent. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”

“Karine was absolutely wonderful. We could tell our pup was expertly cared for during our time away. He had an amazing time with Karine, her husband and the other dogs. She was very consistent with updates, and made us feel at ease during the whole stay. We would recommend her to anyone 1000%”

“My dog stayed with Rob for 16 days and he was attentive and excellent at communicating before and throughout the whole period. My dog had a lot of socializing time with other dogs there, with Rob seeming to take good care that dogs match in personality.”

“Sara was the perfect choice for Dory while we were visiting town. She was focused on ensuring she understood Dory’s needs before and during her stay. Dory came home happy and tired… and Sara provided us with great reports during her stay and at pickup. We highly recommend!”


About: I’m a huge fan of both cats and dogs and will happily provide the walks, playtime, cuddles, belly rubs, and attention they demand. I love getting to know each pet’s personality—whether they’re a zoomie champion, a professional napper, or a little shy. My work is flexible and can host your pets for long term care. I would be honored to give your fur babies plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I work full-time, but only live two minutes away. I will be able to attend to your pets practically anytime of the day. I currently don't have any other pets staying with me so your babies will have my undivided attention. I live on a large private property with lots of land and space for needed outside time. I live in a small apartment but still plenty of space to comfortable moving.
“This was our first time using this app and we had an amazing experience with Maureen. She was the perfect caretaker for our Puma. She gave us perfect peace of mind during our trip that Puma was well taken care of.”

“We were worried that our Laima would have a hard time with separation anxiety, (first time away from us in the 2 yrs since we rescued her) but Rene and her pups made her feel right at home. The pictures she posted spoke volume on how well Laima enjoyed her stay! We hope to use Rene again soon!”

“Great service! Was away on a cruise for a week barely had service but everyday received videos and pictures of my 2 dogs. One a little crazy but loving so I'm glad it worked out and he was taken good care of. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Carolina took great care of our dog! She communicated with us daily to check in and provide updates, which we really appreciated. We will definitely be reaching out again!”

“This is Allie’s third stay with Luz and Michelle. The moment we pulled up, Allie started to squeal and couldn’t wait to see them. She LOVES being with them — and with their regular texts and photos, I always know how happy and well cared for Allie is. She is always clean and in great shape when I pick her up. I drive 11 hours each way to leave Allie with Luz and Michelle because they are so wonderful!! Allie and I are so grateful for them. I cannot recommend them highly enough.”

“Reggie was well taken care of and happy while staying with Rafaelina. She was excellent at keeping us informed and sending photos daily. Would definitely rebook with her in the future.”

“Emma took great care of my dog Buddy! She kept us updating by sending pictures and messages to check in! She was great at responding and looks like Buddy had a great time. Would definitely book again!”

About: I absolutely love being around cats! I enjoy playing with them, giving lots of cuddles, keeping them company, or simply letting them do their own thing. Thanks to my flexible work schedule, I’m available to give them plenty of attention and can host cats for longer stays.

“Excellent! The cats were happy and well cared for, everything was clean and tidy, and all of their medications were given as instructed. I would definitely recommend!”


“Alyssa found out about our cat’s unexpected medical issue while we were traveling and in sleep in a different time zone. Alyssa and Michael used their best judgement to take our cat to the ER, made sure his situation was stable, documented everything, and helped cleaning the mess our cat made in the apartment due to his sickness. They truly treat your pets like their own fur babies and will go above and beyond when it is needed. I recommend them and will book with them again for our cat.”

“Margaret was on time, paid great attention to my two lovies, along with have me updates and pictures on how they were while away. She was also there the entire time she said she was, which meant a lot to me.”


“Corrine is meticulous and adhered to all the instructions that I left for my cat. All the photos that she took showed how happy my cat was. I would 100% recommend her to other people. Thank you so much Corrine!”

“First time booking with Caleigh, great communication and experience all around. One of our cats is almost by rule very slow to warm up to new people, has spent days under the bed when we have some houseguests, so we were surprised to see Noel out and about getting treats on Caleigh's first visit. Highly recommend!”

Our two cats have differing personalities and she is able to get on their level giving them time to warm up and become friends. You’ll come back to a clean home and happy pets. We know our pets are in good hands when with Jennifer!”


“Brandon F. was FANTASTIC! He gave regular updates and sent photos of our Lucy to us. It was so great to be able to relax and know that our beloved pet was in good hands with Brandon. Would absolutely book him again!”


“CeCe dropped in to care for our cat while we were away. She took care of our cat like she was her own, providing playtime and cuddles in addition to taking care of the more basic food/water/litter needs. She provided us with daily updates and was very communicative. It’s really comforting to know your pet is in good hands. I will definitely be contacting CeCe the next time we need a sitter. Thank you so much!!”

“Elena was a great pet sitter, I absolutely loved her! She took care of everything my cat needed and that we agreed. She took the time to get to know him and the attention was all focused on him. It was the best sitter I had so far. Definitely booking again! Thanks Elena, it is so great to have peace of mind even leaving the little one.”

About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was six years old, growing up with pets back home in Guatemala. Over the years, I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs—big, small, playful, and shy—and I’ve gained experience with everything from daily walks to giving medication. I currently don’t have pets of my own, which means I can give your dog my full attention. You can expect lots of walks, playtime, love, and regular photo and video updates. I live in a calm, pet-friendly environment and I’m home all the time, so overnight care is never a problem. I’m here to make your dog feel safe, happy, and right at home! I work part-time in the mornings and am free the rest of the day, and I’m available to board your dog anytime that works for you. Since I work nearby, I can easily accommodate your schedule for drop-offs and pick-ups. I spend most of my time at home, giving plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I especially enjoy taking dogs on walks—it’s a great way for them to get exercise and have fun. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I love being active with animals and making sure they feel happy and loved all day long. I live in a calm, pet-friendly environment where your dog can feel safe, relaxed, and loved. My home is free of harmful plants and other hazards, I always keep the space clean and comfortable. I have a big yard where I can walk and play with your dog throughout the day, giving them plenty of exercise and attention. I take time to get to know each dog’s personality and needs so they feel right at home. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I’m happy to follow any routines that help them feel secure. I know trust matters, so I always keep pet parents updated with photos, videos, and clear communication.

My Goldendoodle loves making new dog friends, and many of our guests have become his best buddies. I work from home most of the week, so I have plenty of time to care for dogs throughout the day.

I usually let my dog out around 8am to play until 9am. All the dogs are welcome to join to play together!
