Highly-rated overnight sitters - Highmount
“I never worry about Shadow when she is with her sitter. I can relax and enjoy myself because I know she is being well cared for, very fortunate to have found such a wonderful sitter.”
“My dog had a great time with Jennifer, Thomas and their kids. They’ shared photos of her getting petted on the couch and going on walks. She was exhausted when she came home after having had a very fun day with this lovely family.”
About: I grew up with all different types of animals my whole life. I have been a dog mom for 13 years. I am great at walking dogs who have aggression towards other dogs, I know how to find a calm route to take and distract them before conflict arises! I recently lost my 90 lb alapaha blue blood bulldog mix to a terminal illness and am looking forward to spending time with other people's dogs. I am a self employed artist, volunteer, and executive director of a free store that I physically staff on Saturdays, so I have a very flexible schedule. I will care for pets in your home with so much attentiveness and love! Just give me a set of instructions and I am happy to hang out :)
“Kayte was amazing!!! My dog has anxiety, but he felt right at home with Kayte. They even went on a 5-mile walk that I’ll now have to live up to haha. She sent pics daily and Onyx always looked so happy and safe. I’ll definitely be using Kayte again!!!”
“Our dogs had a great time at Jane’s! Her home is cozy and clean and her outdoor yards are completely secure. My dogs had such a nice weekend with her that when I came to pick them up, one ran back into her house and tried to stay! Great communication and lots of photos, and she happily gave our pups their meds and made sure they were happy and comfortable. We will definitely use her again.”
“Excellent sitter!! My wife and I have used her many times and will continue to in the future. She is a very nice and responsible person, taking care of any of our dog’s special needs. She keeps us updated on our dogs’ stay and sends lots of pictures to show us how much fun they are having! She is also accommodating to our schedule for dropping off and picking up, making things super convenient for us. Our dogs always love their time with her. We know this because on our walks following their stay, they will pull on the leash to take us to her building haha!”
“This was our puppy's first night away and Nicole was amazing! She took such great care of our 5lb Pomeranian puppy. I received updates regularly. She has plenty of fenced in outside space and even a smaller yard for smaller dogs. Her attention to detail put my mind at ease! Highly recommend.”
“Jen is an amazing sitter. She was super easy to communicate with. Her dogs are adorable and friendly. She gave me the exact right amount of updates during Stokli’s stay and was flexible with drop-off and pick-up. I will book her again if I get the chance!”
“Cipriana and Pamela were communicative and professional. Dorito was much calmer than I thought she would be for her first overnight away. Thank you!”
“Simon watched our little pup while we went away for the weekend. The two of them became fast buddies and we were grateful to know our little guy was with someone he was so comfortable with.”
“We have boarded our dog with Amy and Chris for a few days when traveling. It was our dog’s first boarding experience and everything went very well. Both Chris and Amy were very attentive and understanding. Alta even got a playdate! Communication was quick and easy. Thank you again!”
“As always, Rosalie took care of our Rumor as if she were a part of her family. It is such a relief to be able to go on vacation and know our fur baby is getting the very best of care. I thoroughly recommend Rosalie!”
“Sophia was lovely! We felt very comfortable leaving Bernie with her, and confident that she was in good hands. Sophia gave frequent updates, was easy to communicate with, and helpful throughout the planning and drop-off/pickup. Bernie had a fabulous vaycay, thank you!!!”
“We had a family medical issue and was able to book Jacqueline quickly. Our dogs are both rescues and it matters a great deal to us who we bring into their lives. Jacqueline immediately made us, and our dogs, feel comfortable and within 5 minutes of being with them, our eldest was resting in her lap. Jaqueline sent constant photos and updates and we are very grateful to have found her and will for sure book her again. TY again, Jaqueline. That last note was from the pups!”
About: I grew up in a cat household and became a dog mom as soon as I left home. I absolutely love all of the cats and dogs I’ve been fortunate enough to meet in this life. I raised my pup, Grumble, from 3 weeks old until she left this world at 11 years old. I am very familiar with the range of needs a dog will have throughout life, from teething to play to mobility assistance. I'm fully available in the winter as my regular job (gardening) is seasonal and won't be picking up again until later in the spring time. I can be flexible to your pets needs and more than happy to follow any directions you provide me with for their optimal care and contentment.
“I highly recommend Amanda! This was my first time using Rover as well as my 5 year old dog's first time staying with anyone other than family. Amanda was great with communication from the beginning and reassuring throughout the whole process from initial contact to setting up a meet and greet to regular updates while we were away. My dog took to her right away and felt very comfortable with her throughout her stay as seen by cuddling pictures and happy outdoor time. I feel so fortunate to have found a reliable and trustworthy sitter.”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Eleanor. This was the first time leaving our Jarvis with someone besides family but after meeting Eleanor I was not nervous at all. We received updates and photos throughout his stay and when we picked him up he didn’t want to leave. I will definitely use Eleanor again when we need someone to watch our Jarvis. Thank you Eleanor for taking such wonderful care of our dog.💜”
“I was beyond satisfied with my experience boarding with Aaron and Sarah. Aaron was so nice and made us feel comfortable leaving our baby with him. Will definitely book again!”

“Lindsay is a cat whisperer! Forreal though she is the BEST! She’s so sweet and thorough with her pics and info and always accommodates my crazy schedule and last min needs! HIGHLY Recommend her services!”
About: I have always been a cat person and have had cats in my life since before I could speak. I've rescued several kittens over the years, and am a self-described cat person. My friends sometimes refer to me as the cat whisperer because cats often gravitate towards me. I would love to keep your furry friend company.
About: Im Jeremiah, lover of all pets, young and old, big and small. I can do walks, hikes, swimming, even to a play day at the park, I am sure I will pamper your pooch. I live close to Woodstock and have knowledge of all of the great and safe walking trails. I'm currently focused on dog walking and cat sitting full-time and available the majority of the time. I plan to be there for you and your pets when needed. I always check fence gates before letting a dog outside, I always lock the doors and make sure I don't step outside without the key, I always do a one last check to make sure the pet is well cared for, and I tend to give myself time between each client.

“Alexa took great care of our cats. She was easy to communicate with, and we could tell that the cats were happy when we got back and hadn’t been lonely. I would use her services again and recommend to others.”
“Amy was a wonderful sitter for our animals. We are so thankful for her help. She was very good at communicating with us while we were away so we knew everything was well at home.”
About: I would love to take your dog for a walk or hike in and around the Woodstock area. I have many years of experience owning dogs and cats, and dog and cat sitting for friends since I was a kid. I have also spent time walking dogs at animal shelters and am trained in pet first aid and cpr. I love big dogs, little dogs and anything in between :) I'm usually available during the day and some evenings and weekends. I love to hike and would also be happy to hike with your dog. I'm passionate about health and wellness and natural living. I'm originally from the UK but have been living in NY for over two decades. I live in the Woodstock area with my two daughters, our two rescue dogs and our rescue kitten. I’m usually out walking dogs in the morning and working from home in the afternoons. My dogs love to play with other pups and we enjoy going on long walks or taking care of pets in our home. I’m also available for drop in visits at your home, or for your dogs to stay at our home while you are away. I always keep dogs on the leash and make sure we get plenty of time outside. I have plenty of dog toys and beds in the house for playing and naps.
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life—whether it’s been my own pets, helping out friends, or rescuing strays in need. Both of my cats were rescued by me, and I’ve always had a natural connection with animals. They’re drawn to me, and I love giving them the same trust and affection they show me. I grew up with big dogs, including two pit bulls and a boxer, so I’m confident and comfortable handling larger breeds. Over the years, I’ve potty trained dogs, taught tricks, and cared for pets with all kinds of temperaments. My experience goes beyond cats and dogs—I’ve also cared for frogs, snakes, turtles, and even had the incredible opportunity to volunteer with elephants in Thailand. My love for animals runs so deep that I’ve been vegan for over a decade. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s truly part of who I am. What I Offer 🐾 A 100% open and flexible schedule—your pets will always get the time, love, and attention they deserve. 🐾 Experience with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and special needs. 🐾 Patience, playfulness, and genuine compassion for every pet I meet. Whether it’s cuddles, walks, playtime, or extra TLC, I’ll treat your fur babies like they’re my own. I have a completely open and flexible schedule, available any day and time. Since I mostly work from home, I can easily accommodate bookings, cancellations, last-minute changes, and special requests. The only exception is occasional weekend evenings after 5 PM, when I work at The Colony in Woodstock. Other than that, I’m always here for you and your pets! I live in a spacious three-bedroom, 2 story home with a large open yard, perfect for pets to play and explore. Your furry friend will have plenty of room to stretch, run, and enjoy the outdoors while getting all the exercise and fresh air they need to stay happy and healthy.
About: I have always felt a special kinship with animals. As a child people would laugh at how they seemed to gravitate towards me wherever I was. To date I have been the proud mom of one pug and six cats, as well as several reptiles, fish and guinea pigs, and every one has been an honor and a joy. My current cat, Gary, is an orange tabby who loves to ham-it-up by jumping from the kitchen table onto the refrigerator in exchange for treats! As my handle indicates, and to anyone who may be interested, I am a certified Reiki master with the privilege of being able to assist your pets with a multitude of issues, ranging from separation anxiety to pain. This is a natural healing phenomenon that your pet will benefit from simply by being in my presence. I’m also certified in animal first aid and cpr. I can’t wait to connect with your special friends! I was laid off in March~availability is presently wide open! I can establish a set schedule or work with you on a once-in-a while basis. I work as an independent contractor and would like to provide services for as many animals as possible. Not applicable as I am not providing room and board at this time. Dog walking, feeding, reiki and pet sitting (including overnight) in your home.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Highmount
“Indra was awesome! She clearly is a dog lover. She has a fenced in yard and dogs are very well socialized, lovely and I can’t say enough nice things about about the experience. Would definitely use her services again.”
“Romanna was so helpful! Her communication was great and she was so welcoming and I felt very at ease leaving my pup with her. She sent lots of updates and pics and shows she really cares. Would highly recommend!”

“Bob was wonderful! We have a very active and young golden doodle who spent the day with Bob while we skied at Windham Mountain for a week in February. Bob was extremely kind and professional and I would recommend without hesitation.”
“Amy and Chris were welcoming when I dropped Banksy off. Their location is perfect for easy drop off and pick up. Communication with photos during the day let me know he was well cared for.”
“Ziggy can be nervous away from home. But after staying the day with Jane she came back happy and ready for bed. It was great for us all to meet Jane and Ziggy is looking forward to the next time! Thank you Jane!”
About: I didn’t get to experience the joy of growing up with dogs or cats but as soon as I was able I began taking in fosters from the NYC shelter system. It was quite a learning experience spending time with many dogs (and a few cats) of all different types and personalities. I no longer foster but I bring the experience and dedication from working with so many shelter pets to caring for your furry family members. And as a pet parent now myself I have been through many sitters so I understand what makes a good one! A note on boarding and meet and greets: I’m happy to have boarding candidates come by to meet me and check out the space but I do not do meet and greets with my own dogs. My dogs are dog friendly but they are too chaotic and excitable to meet new dogs and owners right away. New dogs are kept separate at first and introduced at their own pace when everyone is calm. This minimizes stress for everyone and allows for better interactions. I currently work out of the house Monday/Wednesday/Friday but my schedule is somewhat flexible. The rest of the week I work at home and I am often available all weekend. Dogs in my home have access to a securely fenced large yard for running and fetch, as well as a quiet neighborhood for walks. If the weather is warm dogs have access to a dog door so they may go outside as they please. If your dog likes to play with other dogs mine will certainly be happy to accommodate but they can also have separate spaces if quiet time is needed. In your home I will make every effort to keep your pets schedule as familiar as possible while offering lots of love and stimulation. As someone who has had many sitters come through and stay at my house I understand the importance of trust and cleanliness so you can be away without worry.
About: Hello! I’m a professional writer who works from home and often watches my neighbors’ dogs just because I think it’s fun. I joined Rover to help others who might need last-minute dog sitting. My own golden retriever Emmett chills with me all day and we go for walks around the block at lunchtime and we’d love for your friend to join us! I host one dog at a time (in addition to Emmett). I’ve been around dogs and pets of all kinds my whole life and am happy to just spend some quality time feeding, patting, walking or running with a good pooch. I’m super comfortable with all breeds, just maybe not strong enough to handle anyone over 100 pounds unless they’re super well trained. I’ve seen Emmett and my previous dogs, Henry and Teddy, through all kinds of ear infections, hot spots, and geriatric arthritis treatments and am really good at finding ticks! My brother has Emmett’s brother, Gary, so you’ll see the two of them in a few pics together. I’m a remote freelance writer so my schedule is very flexible. I walk Emmett every day at least three times a day so it’s really easy to add an additional dog to the mix. I’m home all day so we all hang. Our yard is unfortunately not fenced but because I spend a lot of time at my computer I balance that with a lot of midday dog walks. When your pet stays here it’s very chill; as long as your dog gets along with Emmett they’ll have full range of the house and can snooze wherever and then we’ll go walk about around the block a few times, which nets out to be about a mile.
“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!”
“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.”

“Great experience of doggy day care. Eleanor met us and our dog prior to the doggy day care visit. She has a calm demeanor. She sent photos throughout the day to show us our dog was content - what more can one ask for? Thank you Eleanor.”
“Hila hosted Millie for a day and Millie had a great time. We are so happy Hila was available. Hila was also communicative and flexible with us. Millie Enjoyed playing with Hila’s dog Ruby too.”
“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.”
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: My family always had a dog growing up (Troy, Dixie, & Scout). Now, I am a proud Uncle to Pablo (Cavapoo, pictured), Monty(no one knows), and Pippen (Golden Retriever). I have always loved dogs for their deep sense of empathy. Work travel prevents me from becoming a full time dog dad, but make a great fill in as needed! I am available mid week and most weekends. My travel is sporadic, so best to simply ask if I am available. When local, I work remote and have plenty of time to take care of your pet. There is plenty of space in my home for your pet. The yard is not fenced and we are adjacent to a ski hill, so leashed walks take place around the community or at local parks.

“Lindsay is amazing! We had a great meet and greet and could tell the dogs were comfortable immediately, her energy is very calming. She sent many pictures from their backyard break and the pups were excited to see her. So hopeful to keep having her over.”
About: I've always loved spending time with dogs since I was a kid. Raising and training Remy, a Vizsla male with unlimited energy (who is now 5), has fast tracked my dog care experience. I absolutely love it. A few years ago, I started caring for dogs over Rover. It's been a wonderful experience for us, and I've especially enjoyed learning how to communicate with dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personality types. Cats are good people too! For cats I'm happy to provide drop-in services and potentially house sitting if it works with my schedule. I'm not often free for clients at the moment, but would be happy to help as I can on my days off from work. I try to keep my schedule up to date as well as available services. I'm happy to adjust to you and your dog's needs in terms of exercise, exposure to other dogs, and on/off leash comfort levels. I'd love to chat over the phone or by text to figure out if I'd be a good fit for your pets and their needs.

About: Hi! I'm Liz, a dedicated animal caretaker with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and pocket pets. I'm passionate about keeping pets happy, healthy, and safe, whether it's through daily walks, playtime, or administering medications. I treat every animal like a member of my own family and take pride in providing consistent, loving, care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I work from home, so pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine in a way that is structured but flexible, depending on the pets' needs, and the type of care I am providing. I have over an acre in my back yard that can be enjoyed for playtime with pets. I have secure doors in my house, and I keep my home secure and pet-proof. No small objects or breakable items in areas where we play and spend time. I have a pet first-aid kit on hand in my home. I have contact information for local veterinarians and emergency clinics readily available. I have some basic knowledge in first-aid and CPR for dogs and cats.
About: I have been house sitting for about 10 years and have cared for all types of dogs and cats. I love bonding with animals and taking them for walks! Currently I work a 9-5 but am free for walks/drop-in visits on my days off and anytime after 5. Currently I am working a 9-5 but am free for walks and/or drop-in visits on my days off and anytime after 5. For the first two weeks of May I have off Sun/mon and then it will switch ( I will update my calendar when it does :)) I follow all instructions given in advance before meeting the animals. Then I introduce myself to them! After they are familiar with me, I play with, feed or walk them given their specific needs.
About: Hi, I'm Marceline! Growing up with a wildlife rehabilitator for a parent, I was surrounded by animals from day one. From bottle-feeding baby raccoons to gently caring for injured birds, I learned early on the patience, empathy, and responsibility that animals deserve. That lifelong passion turned into a career of caring: I spent 4 years at a cat shelter, helping to socialize, medicate and find loving homes for many cats. Beyond that, I've volunteered extensively at Farm sanctuaries and animal shelters, gaining hands-on experience with dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, and more! Whether your pet is playful and energetic or shy and sensitive, I'm dedicated to providing calm, attentive, loving care that meets their unique needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your animal family. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own - with respect, reliability and plenty of love. Let's connect - I'd love to meet you and your pets! Because I have an open schedule, I'm able to dedicate focused time throughout the day for walks, feedings, play, medication and whatever unique care each pet needs. I plan my day around their routines, not the other way around - whether that means early morning visits, midday potty breaks, evening cuddle time, or sleepovers. I'm used to structuring my day with animals in mind, especially my own cats and hermit crabs. Being attentive to animals' behaviors and needs is second nature to me, and I always make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and consistency throughout the day. When you leave your pet in my care, you're not just hiring someone to feed or walk them - you're trusting me with a member of your family. I take that responsibility seriously. Creating a safe, calm, and loving environment is at the heart of everything I do. I closely follow your pet's routines, dietary needs, and any medical requirements to make sure they stay happy and healthy. Im experienced in handling a wide range or animals - including those with special needs, and I always keep a close eye on behaviot and well-being When I visit your home for your pet, I strive to create a low-stress environment where they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. From cozy resting spots to familiar routines and gentle handling, I make sure your pet feels right at home with me.

“Venetia showed up on time (a little early even to get the lowdown on my dog!) and helped burn some puppy energy! She took my 1 year old dog on a nice nature walk with beautiful pics :-) She was very patient with some naughty behaviors we're working on (jumping!) and her calm demeanor put my boy at ease to go off with a stranger. She responded promptly to my requests and was VERY thorough with getting all of Reshi's information. Will be using her services again soon and would def recommend Venetia for your pets needs :-)”

As far as training animals, I did grow up with having to train them so I do have some experience. I am currently working part time and go to community college but will be able to manage and work out a schedule that will be accommodating. I have 3 dogs that have invisible fences outside so they can roam free without getting lost, going to the road, running off. I have a big yard surrounding my house so they are used to running around freely. When it gets too cold they come in to the house or garage with my father. I am used to walking dogs as they do get walked on occasion at home or if we have them out of the house. I do not off offer services that welcome pets into my house but I am accommodating as necessary and will offer services at your residency.
“Patricia is the BEST! She's so so patient and gentle with my puppy who is learning to walk on a leash. My pup is so hesitant/distracted/adorably stubborn during walks and I feel so comfortable knowing that Patricia won't drag her along. You can tell she has a real connection to animals... She is reliable and I have peace of mind while I'm at work, knowing my puppy gets all the love, belly rubs, and a good walk from her doggy walker. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a patient, kind, and reliable dog walker/pet sitter!!”

“I never worry about Shadow when she is with her sitter. I can relax and enjoy myself because I know she is being well cared for, very fortunate to have found such a wonderful sitter.”
About: I grew up with all different types of animals my whole life. I have been a dog mom for 13 years. I am great at walking dogs who have aggression towards other dogs, I know how to find a calm route to take and distract them before conflict arises! I recently lost my 90 lb alapaha blue blood bulldog mix to a terminal illness and am looking forward to spending time with other people's dogs. I am a self employed artist, volunteer, and executive director of a free store that I physically staff on Saturdays, so I have a very flexible schedule. I will care for pets in your home with so much attentiveness and love! Just give me a set of instructions and I am happy to hang out :)
“Our dogs had a great time at Jane’s! Her home is cozy and clean and her outdoor yards are completely secure. My dogs had such a nice weekend with her that when I came to pick them up, one ran back into her house and tried to stay! Great communication and lots of photos, and she happily gave our pups their meds and made sure they were happy and comfortable. We will definitely use her again.”
“Excellent sitter!! My wife and I have used her many times and will continue to in the future. She is a very nice and responsible person, taking care of any of our dog’s special needs. She keeps us updated on our dogs’ stay and sends lots of pictures to show us how much fun they are having! She is also accommodating to our schedule for dropping off and picking up, making things super convenient for us. Our dogs always love their time with her. We know this because on our walks following their stay, they will pull on the leash to take us to her building haha!”
“This was our puppy's first night away and Nicole was amazing! She took such great care of our 5lb Pomeranian puppy. I received updates regularly. She has plenty of fenced in outside space and even a smaller yard for smaller dogs. Her attention to detail put my mind at ease! Highly recommend.”
“Jen is an amazing sitter. She was super easy to communicate with. Her dogs are adorable and friendly. She gave me the exact right amount of updates during Stokli’s stay and was flexible with drop-off and pick-up. I will book her again if I get the chance!”
“Cipriana and Pamela were communicative and professional. Dorito was much calmer than I thought she would be for her first overnight away. Thank you!”
“Simon watched our little pup while we went away for the weekend. The two of them became fast buddies and we were grateful to know our little guy was with someone he was so comfortable with.”
“We have boarded our dog with Amy and Chris for a few days when traveling. It was our dog’s first boarding experience and everything went very well. Both Chris and Amy were very attentive and understanding. Alta even got a playdate! Communication was quick and easy. Thank you again!”
“As always, Rosalie took care of our Rumor as if she were a part of her family. It is such a relief to be able to go on vacation and know our fur baby is getting the very best of care. I thoroughly recommend Rosalie!”
“Sophia was lovely! We felt very comfortable leaving Bernie with her, and confident that she was in good hands. Sophia gave frequent updates, was easy to communicate with, and helpful throughout the planning and drop-off/pickup. Bernie had a fabulous vaycay, thank you!!!”
“We had a family medical issue and was able to book Jacqueline quickly. Our dogs are both rescues and it matters a great deal to us who we bring into their lives. Jacqueline immediately made us, and our dogs, feel comfortable and within 5 minutes of being with them, our eldest was resting in her lap. Jaqueline sent constant photos and updates and we are very grateful to have found her and will for sure book her again. TY again, Jaqueline. That last note was from the pups!”
About: I grew up in a cat household and became a dog mom as soon as I left home. I absolutely love all of the cats and dogs I’ve been fortunate enough to meet in this life. I raised my pup, Grumble, from 3 weeks old until she left this world at 11 years old. I am very familiar with the range of needs a dog will have throughout life, from teething to play to mobility assistance. I'm fully available in the winter as my regular job (gardening) is seasonal and won't be picking up again until later in the spring time. I can be flexible to your pets needs and more than happy to follow any directions you provide me with for their optimal care and contentment.
“I highly recommend Amanda! This was my first time using Rover as well as my 5 year old dog's first time staying with anyone other than family. Amanda was great with communication from the beginning and reassuring throughout the whole process from initial contact to setting up a meet and greet to regular updates while we were away. My dog took to her right away and felt very comfortable with her throughout her stay as seen by cuddling pictures and happy outdoor time. I feel so fortunate to have found a reliable and trustworthy sitter.”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Eleanor. This was the first time leaving our Jarvis with someone besides family but after meeting Eleanor I was not nervous at all. We received updates and photos throughout his stay and when we picked him up he didn’t want to leave. I will definitely use Eleanor again when we need someone to watch our Jarvis. Thank you Eleanor for taking such wonderful care of our dog.💜”
“I was beyond satisfied with my experience boarding with Aaron and Sarah. Aaron was so nice and made us feel comfortable leaving our baby with him. Will definitely book again!”
“We were very happy with how Marielle took the time to accommodate and adapt with the needs of our 1 year old whippet. She provided daily updates and photos and let us know of any issues or questions as they came up. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Kristen was very accommodating and my pup seemed very happy in her home. My dog is usually very anxious at first but she calmed down quickly with Kristen and her sweet dog Jackson. Will definitely use her again.”
