“Kassandra and Johnathan were great with our Puppy Leo! He is a big ball of energy and they were great with him and he loved playing with their dog Charlie. I would recommend to anyone in the area and will definitely bring Leo back when we need boarding again!”
“Rebecca was an outstanding dog sitter and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She was attentive, easy to communicate with, and clearly cared about our dog as if he were her own. She kept us updated with photos of their walks, playtime, and even downtime, which really showed how comfortable and happy he was in her care. It was easily the best boarding experience our dog has ever had, and we could tell he genuinely enjoyed his time with her. I can’t recommend Rebecca highly enough and would absolutely trust her again in the future.”
“Chrissy did an amazing job caring for our puppy Rosie. She sent updates and pictures of Rosie playing with toys, doing zoomies in her house and generally being her spirited, lively self in Chrissy’s home. Chrissy’s fenced backyard was a bonus. She was so kind, thorough and responsible, we felt very comfortable leaving our sweet Rosie with Chrissy. Highly recommend!!”
“Jen was great with providing pictures of my pup daily and I could see how happy my dog was enjoying the time! She always was very awesome with communication. Will def book again”
“Words can not express how thankful I was to have met John on this app. My baby is an old girl with special needs. She wears a diaper and enjoys a calm, quiet atmosphere. Thank you so much for the daily pictures and communication. I am most thankful for the confident feeling I had through my trip. Knowing my sweet girl was well cared for. Highly recommend. Thanks John”
“Kathy was fantastic with our German shepherd, Nova. She sent several pictures throughout each day showing how well she was doing. I would highly recommend her to care for your pups and we will definitely be using her services again in the near future!”
“Even though this was short notice, Jillian was excellent with Ezra! She sent videos, photos, and updates about what was going on during the night and day. I felt at peace knowing my boy was in great hands. If you're looking for a responsible, loving, caring sitter, look no further.”
“Devin has watched our dog two different occasions and he's simply amazing! Very accommodating and took care of our pup like his own! Highly recommend Devin anytime”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Gillian and her family. We’ve used her a lot this year and will continue to trust her to take care of my pup. Cooper is 15 years old, he sleeps a lot but still has a pep in his step. Gillian makes sure he gets outside time and walks along with lots of snuggle time. He isn’t hesitant when we get to their house like he was with other sitters. And he’s acting more like himself there which tells me he is comfortable. I get multiple texts, pictures and videos when he’s there, so I know he’s doing well.”
“Peg was so kind to watch Bogey this weekend when our sitter plans had fallen through last minute. It had been several months since Bogey stayed with Peg, but he was immediately excited when we arrived and rushed toward the house. He loved playing with her pups and the other dogs in the fenced in backyard. I appreciated Peg’s periodic updates during the stay. Highly recommend - your pup will be in great hands!”
“I am so happy that I chose Jack for boarding my dog. I know my dog was well cared for and had fun with the other dogs in Jack's care. We had Jack do pick up and drop off. Jack was on time for both and it took the stress out of us having to do that part. It was totally worth the additional fee! I will use Jack again the next time I need to board my dog and am interested in using g his daycare options as well.”
“Natthinee was fantastic and I highly recommend her! My dog has a seizure disorder and she did an excellent job of administering her medication and keeping me informed throughout the day of their activities with photos. Unfortunately Lulu had a seizure while she was there and Natthinee needed to care for her. She contacted me immediately to let me know and to get instructions as to how to navigate the situation. She allowed Lulu to sleep in her room since that is what she is used to. I highly recommend her and will be booking with her again.”
“Carolyn was great! My dog seemed to have a great time and enjoyed her sweet pup! She was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Carolyn sent pictures to keep us at ease as it was Paddington's first time with her. I would definitely recommend!!”
“Ginger took excellent care of Millie during our vacation. I was very nervous as this was her first time away from home. We were looking for someone who would love Millie as much as we do, Ginger is that perfect person! She is kind and loving and treated Millie like her own. We had a meet & greet with Ginger and Ranger (Ginger's sweet dog) prior to our boarding. This helped put my mind at ease that our pup would be well cared for. During the boarding Ginger provided me with daily updates and pictures. Millie was very happy during her stay and well cared for. I will definitely be using Ginger again in the future, she is just wonderful.”
“Very happy with Jillian’s services! She took great care of my highly anxious rescue dog. She seems to have a lot of experience. If you need to see lots of pictures of your pup, this maybe isn’t going to be what you expected. But I believe my dog was in capable, caring hands.”

“Emily was absolutely wonderful with everything! She provided us with great photos, communication about how our cats were doing during each visit, and showed such care for our home. She spent extra time both playing and cuddling with them, and they definitely needed that while we were away. We had an easy and pleasant experience and will be using Emily in the future for sure!”
“This was first time using ROVER and selecting C.B. was definitely a great decision. She took great care of Rocko and communicated well. Seh committed to and followed thru on all the visits we requested. Her messages and pictures reassured us Rocko was in good hands. Many thanks to you C.B.”

“This is the second time Alexandria took care of my kitty, Cricket. Everything went well and I appreciated the updates and peace of mind that all was well while I was away. Thanks so much!!”

“Sierra took great care of my elderly dog. He was so content when I picked him up that he didn’t want to go home. She kept him separated from the other dogs, but in the same room, so he could see and interact with his new friends without any risk to him physically. My little potato really enjoyed his time there and I’ll be bringing him back!”
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. Been boarding and running daycare full time for 10+ years. I have studied dog behaviors, CPR trained, used to train and have spent my life learning dogs. Part of my business is even making pet products like bow ties, bandanas, toys, healthy treats, signs and organic paw wax. I run my boarding and daycare full time. It is what i live every day. I board 7 days a week and run daycare Tues-Fri We have a large dog specific room which daycare is run out of (while boarding your dog can join daycare for no extra cost) this room has a dog door that leads to the large fenced in yard. Once daycare is complete or dog dependent, the door comes open and the pups join our pack (2) snuggling on the couch and begging in the kitchen 😉
“Samantha was great with my 10 month old cardigan welsh corgi. Although she’s timid and more reserved when I’m not around, Samantha managed to get her out of her shell by the end of the day. Would highly recommend, I plan to be a repeat customer for sure!”
“Lauren was the ideal person and place to leave our pup while we day tripped saratoga. Lauren promptly kept us updated with pictures etc. and provided our pup with a safe and stimulating home away from home. Thanks Lauren!!!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 5 years old, when I got my very first dachshunds—Peanut and Sweetie. By the time I was 9, I had adopted a shelter dachshund and raised two more dachshund puppies, bringing my total to five dogs at once. I personally trained all of them, which gave me a strong foundation in understanding dog behavior, especially with independent or energetic breeds like dachshunds. Throughout middle school and my teen years, I helped neighbors by dog sitting, walking, and doing drop-in visits, often just for playtime and companionship. One of the dogs I cared for regularly was a sweet senior named Duke, who I’d take outside and spend time with while his owner was away. These experiences taught me how to adapt my care for both high-energy pups and older dogs who need a gentler, more patient approach. In addition to my pet care experience, I am also a dancer, choreographer, and educator. Through years of teaching and working with students of all ages, I’ve developed strong skills in patience, attentiveness, and understanding individual needs—qualities that naturally carry over into the way I care for animals. I also have years of experience caring for cats—both my family’s and now my own sweet cat, Tom. I understand feline behavior, how to earn their trust, and how to create a calm, safe environment where they feel comfortable while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom to my 2-month-old baby, I’m home often and have a flexible, attentive schedule. I truly value creating a calm, safe, and loving environment—for both pets and people. Whether it’s puppies, seniors, small breeds, or shy kitties, I bring patience, love, and reliable care to every visit. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I genuinely love spending time with animals, and I build my schedule to be available when pets need me most—whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime. I’m flexible, dependable, and happy to accommodate different routines, including weekend or last-minute needs. Caring for pets doesn’t feel like a chore to me—it’s something I truly enjoy. I prioritize each pet’s safety and comfort above all else. In your home, I follow your routines closely to ensure your pet feels secure and stress-free. I always keep a close eye on surroundings during walks, avoiding unsafe areas or triggers. I’m familiar with handling pets with anxiety, special diets, or medication needs, and I treat every space with respect—leaving it clean and exactly how I found it. Whether I’m in your home or caring for your pet during a walk, you can count on me to show up with calm energy, attentiveness, and love.
“My dog stayed with Julia for the day. Julia was flexible with drop off, easy to coordinate with, is very kind and has a great space! Her dog is wonderful too! I felt very comfortable leaving Bruno at her house and hope to use her again. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you, Julia!”
“Jack has been great with my dog. she goes twice a week for daycare and she is always excited to get there and never wants to leave. Jack has been very flexible and professional!”
About: Life-long dog and cat owner who makes sure your best friend gets what they need while you're away. In addition to my own dogs and cats, I've cared for many pets in the community while mom and/or dad are on the road. Available almost every day for dog walks and drop-ins. I set my own schedule so your pet always gets the care, when and where, we decide. Currently not offering pet-sitting in my home. Maybe in the future. In your home, I will leave it as I found it or better, and always secure.
About: I have had pets since I was 4 years old! I love having pets in my home and making them a part of my family. My dog loves every dog she has ever met and loves to have a playmate!

My husband also loves dogs and has plenty of free time during his work day to take walks and give lots of love! I have a fenced in back yard with lots of room for running. We are on a cul de sac so there is very little traffic in my part of the neighborhood. My home also has several baby gates to make sure that your pet is safe if I have to leave them in the house for a short amount of time.

About: I have been a dog owners for 15 years. My two beautiful shitzus have since gone to the rainbow bridge. I miss those wagging tails and long walks. I would love to share my time and love with your pet. I know how difficult it is to find a sitter and be comfortable while your apart from your fur babies. I have recently retired and home all day. I live in Greenfield Center on 8 private acres nestled in the woods with a large fenced in backyard . I am retired and home all day , I mostly garden and work around the house. Pets would be an added pleasure to my home I have a fenced in backyard. I live in the country at the end of a cul-de-sac my house is one level which makes it easy for little ones and elderly pets.
“Dragana and her husband were great with Sparky. He came home happy and exhausted! They provided updates on how Sparky was and how much he ate( since he’s a picky eater). We’ve found our new sitter! :) Thank you both !”
“Carolyn watched my pup while I was in the area visiting with a friend. She was super easy to communicate with leading up to and during the the stay. Carolyn was so nice and made me feel comfortable leaving Charlie with her. I highly recommend her! Thanks Carolyn!”
About: I’m new to dog sitting professionally, but caring for dogs is something I’ve done my entire life. I grew up around dogs and have hands-on experience with a variety of breeds, including breeding and raising them. This background has given me a strong understanding of dog behavior, needs, and how to handle different temperaments. I currently own a large Great Dane, so I’m very comfortable managing big, powerful dogs as well as smaller breeds. From feeding routines and exercise to recognizing signs of stress or illness, I’m confident in providing attentive, reliable care. My lifelong experience with animals allows me to create a safe, loving, and structured environment for every dog I care for. As a stay-at-home dog mom, caring for animals is already a natural part of my daily life. My schedule is centered around being home, which allows me to give pets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Because I’m not juggling a traditional 9–5, I’m able to provide flexible, reliable care—whether that means regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, or just being there to keep your pet company. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine, and I truly enjoy making animals feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. When pets stay in my home, they become part of a calm, loving environment alongside my own dog, who is friendly, social, and used to being around other animals. I always take the time to introduce pets slowly and safely to make sure everyone feels comfortable and gets along well. Throughout their stay, I provide constant supervision, plenty of playtime, regular potty breaks, and a consistent routine. I also pay close attention to each pet’s personality—whether they love to play or prefer a more relaxed, quiet space—and adjust accordingly. If needed, I can separate pets to give them their own space and ensure everyone feels safe. My goal is to create a home-away-from-home where your pet feels secure, happy, and well cared for while also enjoying positive social interaction.
“I'm so happy with Anna's pet care service. She is incredibly responsive and kind to my pup. My dog is normally anxious with new people but he gets along very well with Anna. He comes home happy and relaxed everyday! I highly recommend her.”

“David was able to book us within a few days notice and was very friendly and took great care of our dog. he communicated frequently and was able to work with Benders first time being at day care which I really appreciated. Would absolutely book again!”
About: I have two fur babies of my own, so I understand that trusting someone else to care for your pet can be challenging. However, sometimes we don't have a choice. With me, you won't have to worry at all; I will love and spoil your furry friend just like I do with my own. I absolutely adore dogs and wish I could have more! You can rest assured that your pet will be in good hands and will have playmates to feel comfortable with. My female dogs are very loving and playful. Bella is 6 years old and weighs 33 lbs, while Chloe is 4 years old and weighs 68 lbs. I would love to care for your pet and provide them with a warm home filled with love, attention, and furry friends. I work from home several times a week. I am home on the weekends. While your fur baby is in my care, they will receive my full attention. While your pet is in my home, they will be loved and treated as a part of the family. They are welcome to sit or lie on the sofa, and I also have pet beds available if they prefer to use those or they can bring their own.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for all kinds of breeds, from tiny Chihuahuas to giant Newfoundlands, and have experience with puppies as young as 3 weeks old as well as senior dogs up to 14 years old. I’m comfortable with dogs of all temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, learning basic commands, or prefers a slower pace, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I have experience with basic training and enjoy helping reinforce good habits and routines in a positive way. Every dog has their own personality, so I like to take the time to get to know what makes them feel coming. My goal is to provide dependable care while giving pet parents peace of mind. At the end of the day, our pets are family, and I’ll treat yours like they’re part of mine. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, having pets myself, and I make it a priority to be dependable and punctual. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to maintain their normal schedule, whether that means walks, feeding times, play sessions, or drop in visits. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, making pet care something I genuinely look forward to each day. Safety is a top priority for me, especially during walks. I take the time to properly understand each pet’s behavior, triggers, and comfort level before heading out, and I stay attentive to their surroundings at all times to ensure they are secure and well managed. I like to follow key safety precautions like using properly fitted leashes and harnesses, avoiding high-traffic or overstimulating areas when needed, checking gates and doors carefully, and always keeping a secure hold on pets when entering or exiting spaces. I also focus on building trust with each pet by moving at their pace, using calm and consistent body language, and allowing them to become comfortable with me before expecting too much interaction. I pay attention to their signals and respect their boundaries, which helps create a sense of safety and reliability. Over time, this helps pets feel more at ease with me, making walks and in home care smoother and more comfortable for them.

About: Hello, my name is Alie and my #1 passion is animals! In search of my calling in life, I have found myself working for a pet grooming salon in my hometown, Milton, NY! I spend my days Tuesday-Saturday bathing and grooming neighborhood dogs then go home to love on my own German Shepard/Belgian Malinois mix and Tabby cat! My weekends are filled with time spent with my family (pets are family!) and my pet sitting clients. I have spent my whole life around dogs and cats, helping to fulfill all of their needs, and have been formally pet-sitting for the public since 2021. Since I was about 12 years old, I have gained experience caring for dogs for friends and family, providing basic care such as feeding and potty breaks. As I grew, my experience expanded to include transportation to and from the vet and groomer, feeding, oral medication administration, ear drops/ointment, eye drops, walking, and (the best part of course) playing! My experience also includes my feline friends, most often multi-cat homes, for regular feeding, oral medication administration, ear ointment, litter box cleaning, and, you guessed it, playing! I currently work at a grooming salon in Milton Tuesday-Saturday, so on those days I am available to love on your pets in the morning before I go to work and in the evening! On Sundays and Mondays, I can come for a visit during the mid-day hours. All of my clients are the highlight of my work-day, I look forward to every visit so you can trust me to be there when you need me! Your pets safety and comfort are of the utmost importance to me, I take any time necessary to ensure your pet's comfortable with me being inside their home, even if I exceed the typical 30m or 60m visit length! Working at a grooming salon, I have honed my skills with dog body language so I know when your pups are upset. My experience with cats has also taught me when the kitties aren't happy as well! Meet & Greets are a necessary part of the booking process to ensure everyone's safety over the course of a booking. All bookings that include a dog are required to have a one-time complimentary Meet & Greet prior to booking. Dogs are careful about the humans they trust, espcially with their parents gone, so I'd like to make friends with you present! Other bookings that only include cats are not required to have a Meet & Greet prior to booking but you are more than welcome to request one! Any additional Meet & Greets that are requested beyond the initial complimentary Meet & Greet will be booked at the drop-in rate listed on my profile. At the first visit, slow and quiet are the name of the game, I take my time going about their routine so they can get used to me! After my tasks are done, it's my goal to make them as comfy as possible by offering them their favorite toys and treats at their own pace. By the end of the booking, my aim is to be your pets new best friend and your go-to sitter!
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from 4-month-old puppies to seniors up to 16 years old. I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs and have experience caring for a blind dog who needed medication and close monitoring, so I understand how important patience and attention to detail are. I grew up with a Great Dane, Chow, and Yorkie, which made me comfortable with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I try to stick closely to each dog’s routine so they feel safe and at ease. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule for walks and drop-ins and can be reliable with timing. I’ll also keep you updated so you know your pet is in good hands. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m able to stay consistent with timing and adjust to your pet’s usual schedule. I live in an HOA community in a quiet, low-traffic neighborhood that’s great for calm and safe walks. For drop-in visits and walks, I prioritize safety by following all owner instructions closely and keeping pets on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m mindful of leashes, doors, and surroundings at all times, and I provide consistent updates so you know how everything is going.
About: I am home full time in June and the first week of July and I am very flexible with hours/days. If you need a consistent dog sitter/walker I would be glad to make a set schedule for any given week. I have owned dogs, currently two golden retriever brothers, and have taken care of other dogs for over 10 years now. Doesn’t matter what size or if they even have a difficult personality, I’m great with all dogs and adjust well! Love playing with dogs and being active outdoors with them, whether it’s going on walks or playing fetch. If you have any special requests or the dog has any specific needs I will be happy to accommodate Currently working full time until mid May but have available hours then will be off for June and July. During this time I will have plenty of availability. I am happy to crate dogs if needed or take care of any other needs before I leave them. Will make sure they are secure before leaving!

“Kassandra and Johnathan were great with our Puppy Leo! He is a big ball of energy and they were great with him and he loved playing with their dog Charlie. I would recommend to anyone in the area and will definitely bring Leo back when we need boarding again!”
“Rebecca was an outstanding dog sitter and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She was attentive, easy to communicate with, and clearly cared about our dog as if he were her own. She kept us updated with photos of their walks, playtime, and even downtime, which really showed how comfortable and happy he was in her care. It was easily the best boarding experience our dog has ever had, and we could tell he genuinely enjoyed his time with her. I can’t recommend Rebecca highly enough and would absolutely trust her again in the future.”
“Chrissy did an amazing job caring for our puppy Rosie. She sent updates and pictures of Rosie playing with toys, doing zoomies in her house and generally being her spirited, lively self in Chrissy’s home. Chrissy’s fenced backyard was a bonus. She was so kind, thorough and responsible, we felt very comfortable leaving our sweet Rosie with Chrissy. Highly recommend!!”
“Jen was great with providing pictures of my pup daily and I could see how happy my dog was enjoying the time! She always was very awesome with communication. Will def book again”
“Words can not express how thankful I was to have met John on this app. My baby is an old girl with special needs. She wears a diaper and enjoys a calm, quiet atmosphere. Thank you so much for the daily pictures and communication. I am most thankful for the confident feeling I had through my trip. Knowing my sweet girl was well cared for. Highly recommend. Thanks John”
“Kathy was fantastic with our German shepherd, Nova. She sent several pictures throughout each day showing how well she was doing. I would highly recommend her to care for your pups and we will definitely be using her services again in the near future!”
“Even though this was short notice, Jillian was excellent with Ezra! She sent videos, photos, and updates about what was going on during the night and day. I felt at peace knowing my boy was in great hands. If you're looking for a responsible, loving, caring sitter, look no further.”
“Devin has watched our dog two different occasions and he's simply amazing! Very accommodating and took care of our pup like his own! Highly recommend Devin anytime”
“Peg was so kind to watch Bogey this weekend when our sitter plans had fallen through last minute. It had been several months since Bogey stayed with Peg, but he was immediately excited when we arrived and rushed toward the house. He loved playing with her pups and the other dogs in the fenced in backyard. I appreciated Peg’s periodic updates during the stay. Highly recommend - your pup will be in great hands!”
“I am so happy that I chose Jack for boarding my dog. I know my dog was well cared for and had fun with the other dogs in Jack's care. We had Jack do pick up and drop off. Jack was on time for both and it took the stress out of us having to do that part. It was totally worth the additional fee! I will use Jack again the next time I need to board my dog and am interested in using g his daycare options as well.”
“Carolyn was great! My dog seemed to have a great time and enjoyed her sweet pup! She was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Carolyn sent pictures to keep us at ease as it was Paddington's first time with her. I would definitely recommend!!”
“Ginger took excellent care of Millie during our vacation. I was very nervous as this was her first time away from home. We were looking for someone who would love Millie as much as we do, Ginger is that perfect person! She is kind and loving and treated Millie like her own. We had a meet & greet with Ginger and Ranger (Ginger's sweet dog) prior to our boarding. This helped put my mind at ease that our pup would be well cared for. During the boarding Ginger provided me with daily updates and pictures. Millie was very happy during her stay and well cared for. I will definitely be using Ginger again in the future, she is just wonderful.”
“Very happy with Jillian’s services! She took great care of my highly anxious rescue dog. She seems to have a lot of experience. If you need to see lots of pictures of your pup, this maybe isn’t going to be what you expected. But I believe my dog was in capable, caring hands.”
“This trip away for work was less stressful for me because I knew Buddie was getting lots of love and attention all week from Mike and Amy and having so much fun playing with his friend Bear.”
“We had a wonderful experience leaving our pup with Karen. She made us feel completely comfortable and most importantly Lulu was happy! We got frequent updates, Lulu got many walks and we couldn’t be happier with the care she received. Will def book again with Karen!”
