Highly-rated overnight sitters - Mongaup Valley
“Chester was great. He sent us many pictures and videos of our puppy. He had a great play area setup. We felt like our dog was in great hands. I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking or a reliable dog sitter!”
“She is truly amazing. She instantly made me feel at ease leaving our baby. Very communicative, daily updates with photos and videos. She goes above and beyond. Our baby suffers from allergies, and she was great with keeping up medications and updates on symptoms. It was his first birthday not at home with us, and she went out of her way to ensure his day was special and got him special birthday treats. She made him feel comfortable, very loving and truly caring. I can tell she has a big heart, and really has a love for animals, I saw she really cared. It was so nice to see, she eased my mind, especially as I tend to over worry about him, and he was very happy with her as so were we. We would DEFINITELY rebook. I cannot thank her enough for her care, love, attentiveness she had for our baby Guinness.”
“Alisa did great with my two dogs. She is very knowledgeable with animals and treated them like her own. I would definitely recommend her to others for their pet sitting needs.”
“Jonathan was a pleasure to have watch our pup, Mochi. We had a last minute need for doggy care over the Fourth of July and Jonathan was willing to welcome Mochi into his family for the whole weekend, and help him feel at home. Mochi loved playing in the big yard and hanging out with Jonathan’s kids. We will definitely rebook with Jonathan the next time we are in town.”
“Sandra and her husband took great care of my little girl. Her communication is excellent and she sent me pictures to keep me updated on my little girl's stay. She was very flexible with me due to my crazy schedule. I will absolutely be using her and her husband again in the future!”
“Andrea is a beautiful, intelligent and compassionate professional. She cares about the animals she looks after while 'pet parents' are away. She reduces anxieties naturally by listening carefully and observing astutely. Hygge had never been away or 'boarded' for pet sitting prior to my experience with Andrea. At all times she was communicative, caring and purposeful in her interactions with Hygge, who probably worried about being in a new home away from home for a few days on many levels. My transportation plans were delayed due to a severe storm that prevented my scheduled pick up, and Andrea was patient, reasonable and loving during my own stress about being stuck in NYC beyond my control for the pick up of my dog after traveling for a few days. She worked with me every step of the way, and the boarding experience was a total success even with transportation issues. Hygge returned home happy, healthy, well-nourished and satisfied with renewed confidence in his ability to work with another lovely family in our sweet community in a spirit of trust and sucess. All in all, I would recommend Andrea to work with anyone who has pets they love and want to broaden the scope of their pet's world by allowing Andrea to work with them and care for them. Andrea also understands the complexities of rescue animals, and will work with you so all are informed and kept in safe environments that nourish everyone's positive potential. She is also very pleasant and loving. She is a talented professional and a local treasure to all who come in contact with her.”
“This is the second time we leave our pup with Daniel and he's officially our go-to sitter. He and his wife give and show much care and the communication/business side of things always runs smooth. Thanks again Daniel! Till the next time 👋”
“Kim was very quick to respond to me whenever I wanted to check in and see how Ryder was doing. She was very friendly and welcoming. She sent me pictures and made me feel comfortable that my baby was in good hands. I would highly recommend her. This was my first time using a dog sitter and I am very pleased with the entire experience. Thank you again Kim for everything. I would use her again if I need a sitter.”
“This is the second time my little Ellie has stayed with Grace and I swear Ellie lives her best life there!! Grace keeps me updated in how she is doing with pics and texts!! I will definitely being booking with Grace in the future!!”
“So accommodating and friendly. This was our first time boarding, and pretty instantly we knew our pup was in good hands! The pictures were so appreciated, and we’re incredibly grateful for the care our dog was given.”
“This was the first time using Rover. I will absolutely trust Dawn to watch my Lily again. Dawn was understanding with me and my fears of leaving my pup. Her family was very welcoming as well. She went above and beyond on making her home pet friendly. I received many photos and videos to set my mind at ease. If 6 stars was option I would give it to her!”
“Sara was wonderful. Our first time using a dog sitter and I was anxious about the experience. Would the boys behave, or would the sitter really give them attention? Well yes and definitely yes. The experience was great for us and the doggos. Our dogs are a large breed and a giant breed. Sara didn't have any qualms about their sizes and we were able to relax and enjoy a weekend away. Would absolutely use Sara's services again. Highly recommend.”
“Katarzyna took great care of Dexter and Misha. She has a lovely hard that allowed them both to be outside safely. They seemed happy and healthy upon my return and I got adorable photos of them while I was away.”
“Wonderful experience with Emily and Andre. They took such great care of our two babies while we were out of town. They sent updates and pictures every day, and really went above and beyond. Thank you so much!”
“Michael and Tracy watched our dog Princess for 2 nights while we were staying nearby. They put us at ease and made Princess feel right at home. We got frequent communication and pictures from them. At the time, Princess was the only dog in their care and she was pampered. A puppy was dropped off just before we picked her up and the two of them immediately hit it off and Princess didn’t want to leave, even though she was very excited to see us. Thank you Michael and Tracy for taking care of Princess and treating her like one of your own!”
“Wow! Muhan is the best dog sitter on Rover. She provided us with regular updates and we know our dogs were comfortable, safe and happy at Muhan’s place. We highly recommend her services!!”
“This was the best dog sitting experience we have ever had, by far!! Jake and Mischa went above and beyond anything we could have expected, and took great care of our pup. We have a Saint Bernard who can be a bit much for some, but Jake and Mischa were amazing with him! They also put our minds at ease with how well they handled his food allergies and medicine. Finally, they were great with sending pictures/videos and keeping us updated. Archie can’t wait to go back and play with his buddy Chopper!”
“Kristen was wonderful.our Missy had a great time. She didn’t want to leave her friend, Kristen ‘s dog Jackson, who she slept with for naps and bedtime. Couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Kristen is wonderful”
“This was at least the 10th time we have used Cristina to sit for our middle-aged fur baby, Susie. When we arrived at Cristina’s, Susie ran up to her to greet her, so I know she feels comfortable. When I picked her up, Susie’s things were ready to go and she had obviously been well taken care of. Thank you, Cristina!”

Cat caregivers near you - Mongaup Valley
“We had such a great experience with Lillie! She is super sweet and took wonderful care of our two cats. She’s very knowledgeable about cat care, and it’s clear she truly loves animals. We felt completely at ease knowing she was checking in on our kitties while we were away. I would absolutely book with her again. She’s the best!”
“Sara was excellent taking care of my kitty. I felt assured knowing I had someone reliable that really knows and cares about animals. She sent me pictures and details every time she dropped in. Highly recommend!”
“This is our second time working with Angela and we couldn’t feel more comfortable and at ease while we’re away! They spend such nice quality time with our kitties, giving them lots of love and attention. I’m still so amazed that our one shy girl, who doesn’t even really come out for my own family, it’s just smitten with Angela! This time around Angela also helped us out by giving our one cat the allergy medication he needed, which all seemed to go smoothly! Thanks again, Angela! Looking forward to working with you again!”
“Kamber took incredible care of our two kitty cats on very short notice! She was very communicative, fast to respond, and empathetic to our fur babies. I would absolutely book her quality services again!”
“Madelyn was wonderful and took great care of my fur baby even when my driveway was covered in snow and also helped us out over Christmas! Our cat is a needy boy and usually complains a lot when we leave but he didn’t seem to mind this time. Would definitely recommend!”
“My first time ever leaving my to 2 cats with someone besides family to go away on vacation for 2 weeks. She took very good care of my girls and sent me photos along the way. I appreciate everything you did and hope I am still taken on as a client someday despite my very late pick up as I had advised her before I left. Late flights coming from city are the worst, ugh.”

“Not only is Jade Marie extremely respectful, she was responsive to my partner and I while we were away for a week-long vacation. She made a personal connection with our two cats by playing with them and also kept their area clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Jade Marie to other pet owners seeking help!”
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.
“Nathaniel took care of my cat Ghost for an extended time over the holidays. He was extremely kind, helpful,and flexible as this was a last minute booking. Nathaniel communicated with me daily and sent pictures to let me know how Ghost was doing. He made accommodations for Ghost so that she would be comfortable and feel safe, as well as have the option to interact with his cats at her own pace. I highly recommend Nathaniel and will definitely book him again in the future!”
“Tammie was an absolute lifesaver while I was on vacation! She came three times a day to care for my cat, including administering oral medication, which can be a challenge—but she handled it with total professionalism and care. She was always on time, incredibly communicative, and sent regular updates that really helped me relax while I was away. When our flight was unexpectedly delayed, she didn’t hesitate to make additional last-minute visits to make sure my cat was safe and comfortable. Her flexibility and dedication truly went above and beyond. It’s such a relief to know my pet is in such capable and compassionate hands. I will 100% be booking with Tammie again and can’t recommend her highly enough!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Mongaup Valley
About: As a lifelong animal lover who has always shared my home with pets, I understand how important it is to know your dog is in caring and attentive hands. Your dog will be lovingly cared for and closely supervised on our peaceful 8-acre property, complete with a beautiful creek and plenty of space to explore. We provide lots of toys and treats to keep your dog happy and engaged, and our friendly miniature schnauzer enjoys making new canine friends (after a little welcoming bark or two!). Our free-ranging chickens also add an extra bit of entertainment and curiosity for visiting dogs. You can feel confident that your dog will be safe, comfortable, and well cared for in our cozy home, where they will receive plenty of attention, affection, and fun throughout their stay. I am home full-time after retiring from a 30-year career in corporate IT, which allows me to devote my full attention to caring for dogs providing constant supervision, companionship, and personalized care, ensuring your dog receives the attention, affection, and exercise they deserve. We have a spacious 8-acre property with long, groomed walking paths where dogs can explore and enjoy the outdoors, typically leashed for safety. Our back property is exceptionally private, featuring wide, flat open fields with no immediate neighbors and located well away from the road, providing a peaceful and secure environment. We also have a fenced play area where dogs can safely enjoy off-leash play and exercise. Inside, dogs are treated as part of the family and are welcome throughout our roomy and comfortable home. At night, they can relax and sleep in cozy dog beds located in quiet spare rooms, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home during their stay.
“Kelly Was absolutely wonderful with my dog Freya! I came up from the city to visit the art museum there, and Kelly graciously hosted my little dog with her lovely older dog for the day. It was really a wonderful experience and Kelly took such great care of my dog.”
About: I’ve been a proud dog owner since 2013, raising my own pups from just 8 weeks old and learning the ins and outs of dog behavior along the way. For the past three years, I’ve offered dog boarding, caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities. Patience is my strength, and I know how to make every dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Here, your dog won’t just have a place to stay — they’ll have 8 acres of open land to run, play, and explore to their heart’s content. Whether your pup loves a good game of fetch, sniffing every corner of the yard, or lounging in the sun, they’ll find their own little slice of paradise here. My goal is to ensure your dog is not only well cared for but truly happy during their stay. I work from home, which means I have plenty of time to spend playing with and caring for your dogs. Since I have dogs and other animals of my own, I rarely travel, so I’m available most of the time to look after your furry family members. We live on open land with no neighbors nearby, so if your dog loves to bark or roam, they’re free to enjoy themselves without worry. I usually keep dogs indoors for comfort and safety, but I also have a giant crate available if you’d like your dog to be crated.
“Jayne was an exceptional puppy sitter. She treated and loved Daisy as if she were her own. She sent photos to help pass the time and was overly accommodating. I will most definitely bring Daisy back for another visit soon. Thank you!”

“Emily and Andre were great! I needed someone to keep Toby for me last minute and they responded virtually instantly and were super easy to work with! Toby had a great time and I got to enjoy my day without worrying about him. Thank you so much!”
“We left our lab with Sara for half a day so we could attend a nearby wedding, and she was so great with him! He's super energetic, and she was so patient with him and took him on long walks and played with him! She was also so helpfully flexible about the pickup time, because we couldn't really pinpoint it in advance. Would definitely go back if we're in the area!”
About: As a doctor, I’ve spent years caring for people of all ages and I bring that same compassion, patience, and attention to detail to the pets I look after. What sets me apart is my medical background and calm, caring approach to both routine and unexpected situations. I’m comfortable helping with pets who need a bit of extra attention, like seniors, those on medication, or anxious animals, always ensuring they feel safe and cared for. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old, when I started helping my neighbors with their pets while they were away. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments — from playful puppies who need consistency and training, to older dogs who require gentler care and medication on schedule. In the past, I’ve also trained many dogs, focusing on consistency, positive reinforcement, and gentle play to help them learn and have fun. Whether your pet needs structured walks, quiet companionship, or a steady hand during medication time, I’ll treat them like one of my own family members. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m an early riser and make time every day for walks, play, and check-ins. My work schedule is flexible, allowing me to plan visits around each pet’s needs—whether it’s morning exercise, midday drop-ins, or evening companionship. Caring for animals is a relaxing and rewarding part of my week. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I give my own. I follow your instructions carefully, maintain a clean environment, and keep pets safe with close supervision indoors and secure leashes outdoors. I focus on helping pets feel comfortable and calm, especially when their families are away, so they always feel cared for and at ease.
“This was my first time leaving my dog for boarding and using the Rover app.Jonathon went above and beyond to take care of my dog I even ran out of food and he offered to run to the store to grab some more. Throughout the stay he updated me and sent pictures easing some of my anxiety. I now know I have someone that I can rely on and my dog will be taking good care of and I will be using.Jonathon for my future boarding needs! I’ve also recommended him to my friends as well.”
“Our casper felt comfortable with her instantly and kept us updated on him for the day we were out and even tried to go back with her for a second which confirmed he enjoyed her.”
“Dawn was a ray of sunshine!! She took perfect care of our pup. She sent updates and photos. He had a ball and slept all night long. I know he had a fun day. She cared for him with such care as if he were her own. We will absolutely be using her services again. Thank you dawn”
“Alexis was great with Piper and she took great care of her. Piper left there very happy. It was her first time in doggy daycare. Alexis took Piper on a nice walk and provided updates to us throughout the day. We will definitely be using her services again. Thank you for taking good care of our pup. 🙏🏻”
About: I love taking care of animals. Animal energy is something I love having in my life. I have had dogs and cats since I was born. Now I have my very own Border Collie named Iris who I love with all my heart. I was always interested in animal care bathing walking cooking my own dog special food. I recently made the decision to leave my place of employment after 25 years. So now I can commit to animal care as much or as little as I can. I don't have a routine yet but hopefully I will establish one soon. I have done numerous overnights with up to 4 dogs. I ask the owners for a printed copy of each dogs habits, routine and exercise preferences. Also if the dog has any leash or food aggression.

“This was my first time using Rover and actually my first time leaving my dog with anyone for more than an hour (besides the vet). We were traveling and staying at an Airbnb so we could do a day at Legoland. I was nervous, but everything went great! Bailey immediately took to Amy's assistant who came out to greet us and happily went with her, which is not something he would do with most people. She sent a video and some photos while we were at the park, which was a huge relief to know he was doing okay. I would definitely recommend Amy and am much more at ease using Rover again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since i was 18. Neighbors, friends and family have trusted, relied on me to walk, play and feed their pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. I’m a stay at home mom so i have all the time to take care of your pups. I have 3 friendly pups to keep your pups company at all times. They can play in the back yard as well with me supervising.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Mongaup Valley
“I'm so lucky to have Kamber as Bernie's dog walker! She's always on time and reliable, and she leaves my house neat and tidy. Bernie adores spending time with her and loves when her daughter comes along for extra playtime. Kamber is fantastic at taking care of Bernie. She's super careful and always looks for potential dangers, like other dogs or cars. Plus, she's been helping me train Bernie to be more comfortable around other pups when we're out for walks. I can't say enough good things about Kamber's communication skills. She's excellent at keeping me updated on everything with Bernie and is always on top of scheduling our appointments. I trust her completely and am happy to have her as our dog walker!”
“Michelle is the best! I needed a sitter last minute and she responded immediately. When I met her I could see she truly loved animals and my pets would be in good hands. Our dog Mocha and Michelle became best buddies right away, and even made friends with our wary cat. Michelle was prompt and kept me up to date with daily pictures. I would definitely recommend her to sit for your fur babies.”
About: I grew up with lots of animals in my house my whole entire life. Everything from birds, reptiles, fish to basic ones such as cats and dogs. In summer I was on farm with horses, cows, pigs, chickens and much more. I have been watching dogs for as long as I remember. Both in my house as well as other homes. I do rescues for a company that specializes in pit bulls. I love to spend time, play, teach and get to know the four legged friends. Life without cats, dogs and other furry animals would be really boring. It is an honor to be there to take care of your pet when you are in need. I'm happy to help with last minute emergencies.
About: We have owned dogs for eight years together, and currently have two miniature dachshund’s that rule our lives. Aside from taking care of them - I (Emily) have looked after dogs in a professional capacity including dog walking, and sitting for my clients while they've been away. We are both home full time and both our schedules are very flexible so we're always available for play and interaction with your pup. Our days always include a walk, or two as well. Since beginning dog daycare/boarding we've hosted a variety of breeds including Bulldog's - both French and British, Labrador's, Golden Retriever's, Rottweiler's, and German Shepard's just to name a few! We're happy to host both the smallest, and biggest of breeds. We are both home full time and our schedules are flexible so we’re able to provide plenty of pats and interaction with your pup while they’re here. We can include your pup in our daily walks around the neighborhood if desired and these can be short or long depending on your pups needs. We are able to separate dogs within the yard/house if need be but also for meal times.
About: I've grown up taking care of multiple dogs and cats my entire life! I love playing with animals and giving them lots of attention. I enjoy taking dogs on sniff walks and playing mentally enriching games with them! I have often taken care of family and friends' animals throughout the years. I am reliable, punctual, and have a very flexible schedule! I recently moved back into the area and don't have a set schedule, so I have lots of availability! I am available all day every day except for Wednesdays and Saturdays. On Wednesdays I am available in the morning and afternoon until 3 pm. On Saturdays I am available late afternoons and evenings after 3 pm. I will spend a minimum of 30 minutes at your house, providing your animal with whatever care it needs, as well as lots of love and attention! I will take them on long walks, play games with them in the house, or even cuddle with them during their rest time, if that's what they like.
About: I’ve worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes, I have volunteered countless hours in a shelter and have lived with dogs for the last 10 years. I have experience with both pure breed and rescues. I am an active person so your dog will always have someone to play with! I currently work nights so late night or early morning visits are never an issue! I love to stay active and four legged friends the attention they deserve, so if you want your animal to not only be acted for but loved then please reach out to me. Depending on the services provided and your dogs actively level I would love to take them for a long walk or chase each other in the backyard. I am currently a nursing student so I enjoy having an outlet of pet therapy to distract from the stress of school work.
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I provide calm, reliable, and loving care while keeping pets comfortable in their routine. Owners trust me for walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight stays, knowing their pets are safe and genuinely cared for. I plan my schedule around feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins to ensure your pet receives consistent care, supervision, and companionship throughout the day and overnight. I always put safety and comfort first. I follow each pet’s routine and owner instructions closely, keep doors and leashes secure, and provide attentive supervision. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and focused on keeping pets calm, comfortable, and happy in their familiar environment.
About: I've loved them all. From guinea pigs to rabbits, hamsters and ferrets, parrots and fish, cats and dogs. I have experience with dogs of many breeds, from German shepherds to Chihuahuas, newfoundlands and jack russells. I try and understand every dog breed to understand their unique needs. No dog is the same! But they all love unconditionally, so I try and give them the same. I have some training in puppies and have experience with puppies as well as elders. I've house sat in the pets homes where I know they are comfortable and can have their routines and environments. I just want to give each pet whatever it is they need. I have had pets since I was born, my first dog being a boxer. Almost never without a dog, but certainly never without a pet. Currently I have a german shepherd/collie mix named Blue. Even at six years old, he has the energy of a puppy! We run every day in a field nearby, sometimes visit the dog park, and have frequent visits with his dog friends. Making sure he is happy and healthy is a daily priority in my life. In the clients home, I get in depth information on their pets routines, food schedules and preparations, walking and play time, and whether they are crated or not. I will follow your instructions to a T.
“Logan was wonderful - easy to communicate with, reliable, and did a great job caring for our newfie, Coda. His flexibility in assisting us when we were driving through the area was so appreciated. Would highly recommend.”

“Chester was great. He sent us many pictures and videos of our puppy. He had a great play area setup. We felt like our dog was in great hands. I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking or a reliable dog sitter!”
“She is truly amazing. She instantly made me feel at ease leaving our baby. Very communicative, daily updates with photos and videos. She goes above and beyond. Our baby suffers from allergies, and she was great with keeping up medications and updates on symptoms. It was his first birthday not at home with us, and she went out of her way to ensure his day was special and got him special birthday treats. She made him feel comfortable, very loving and truly caring. I can tell she has a big heart, and really has a love for animals, I saw she really cared. It was so nice to see, she eased my mind, especially as I tend to over worry about him, and he was very happy with her as so were we. We would DEFINITELY rebook. I cannot thank her enough for her care, love, attentiveness she had for our baby Guinness.”
“Alisa did great with my two dogs. She is very knowledgeable with animals and treated them like her own. I would definitely recommend her to others for their pet sitting needs.”
“Andrea is a beautiful, intelligent and compassionate professional. She cares about the animals she looks after while 'pet parents' are away. She reduces anxieties naturally by listening carefully and observing astutely. Hygge had never been away or 'boarded' for pet sitting prior to my experience with Andrea. At all times she was communicative, caring and purposeful in her interactions with Hygge, who probably worried about being in a new home away from home for a few days on many levels. My transportation plans were delayed due to a severe storm that prevented my scheduled pick up, and Andrea was patient, reasonable and loving during my own stress about being stuck in NYC beyond my control for the pick up of my dog after traveling for a few days. She worked with me every step of the way, and the boarding experience was a total success even with transportation issues. Hygge returned home happy, healthy, well-nourished and satisfied with renewed confidence in his ability to work with another lovely family in our sweet community in a spirit of trust and sucess. All in all, I would recommend Andrea to work with anyone who has pets they love and want to broaden the scope of their pet's world by allowing Andrea to work with them and care for them. Andrea also understands the complexities of rescue animals, and will work with you so all are informed and kept in safe environments that nourish everyone's positive potential. She is also very pleasant and loving. She is a talented professional and a local treasure to all who come in contact with her.”
“Kim was very quick to respond to me whenever I wanted to check in and see how Ryder was doing. She was very friendly and welcoming. She sent me pictures and made me feel comfortable that my baby was in good hands. I would highly recommend her. This was my first time using a dog sitter and I am very pleased with the entire experience. Thank you again Kim for everything. I would use her again if I need a sitter.”
“So accommodating and friendly. This was our first time boarding, and pretty instantly we knew our pup was in good hands! The pictures were so appreciated, and we’re incredibly grateful for the care our dog was given.”
“Sara was wonderful. Our first time using a dog sitter and I was anxious about the experience. Would the boys behave, or would the sitter really give them attention? Well yes and definitely yes. The experience was great for us and the doggos. Our dogs are a large breed and a giant breed. Sara didn't have any qualms about their sizes and we were able to relax and enjoy a weekend away. Would absolutely use Sara's services again. Highly recommend.”
“Katarzyna took great care of Dexter and Misha. She has a lovely hard that allowed them both to be outside safely. They seemed happy and healthy upon my return and I got adorable photos of them while I was away.”
“Wonderful experience with Emily and Andre. They took such great care of our two babies while we were out of town. They sent updates and pictures every day, and really went above and beyond. Thank you so much!”
“Michael and Tracy watched our dog Princess for 2 nights while we were staying nearby. They put us at ease and made Princess feel right at home. We got frequent communication and pictures from them. At the time, Princess was the only dog in their care and she was pampered. A puppy was dropped off just before we picked her up and the two of them immediately hit it off and Princess didn’t want to leave, even though she was very excited to see us. Thank you Michael and Tracy for taking care of Princess and treating her like one of your own!”
“This was the best dog sitting experience we have ever had, by far!! Jake and Mischa went above and beyond anything we could have expected, and took great care of our pup. We have a Saint Bernard who can be a bit much for some, but Jake and Mischa were amazing with him! They also put our minds at ease with how well they handled his food allergies and medicine. Finally, they were great with sending pictures/videos and keeping us updated. Archie can’t wait to go back and play with his buddy Chopper!”
“Kristen was wonderful.our Missy had a great time. She didn’t want to leave her friend, Kristen ‘s dog Jackson, who she slept with for naps and bedtime. Couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Kristen is wonderful”
“Sheila was an outstanding host. She was attentive and communicative throughout our dog Hazel’s stay. Hazel sometimes has a little separation anxiety but Sheila was great and handled everything to perfection. We felt at ease leaving our pet with her. Highly recommend Sheila . She is my go to when we have to board our dogs!!”

“This was the second stay for Moose and Nutsy - Christina is fab! This time, my husband and I were traveling overseas and we were able to enjoy the trip all the more because of our complete confidence in Christina and the care she provides to our dogs. She treats them like part of the family!
