Personalized care for your dog or cat - Pekin
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Pekin
“I wasn’t able to make my booking with Ashley due to some unforeseen family circumstances, but I did make sure she was paid for her inconvenience regardless. Lovely person & and I’m sure a great sitter! Hopefully, I will be able to use her services in the future!!”
“Zaira communicates quickly and thoroughly. Machete didn't want to eat his kibble so Zaira provided him her wet food after asking me, which he happily ate. Machete had a great time meeting new friends, and we really appreciate Zaira's flexibility with drop off / pick up time for boarding. She had only a few dogs (her own and possibly 1 other with machete) so he was able to acclimate more quickly. We will definitely use Zaira again when we're in the niagara area.”
“Thank you Jenn & Brian for taking such great care of Rooney, just like last time. Thanks for all the pics and videos while we were away! Clearly he had a blast playing with your pups, and he also came home nice and clean!! 😀 You guys are the best!”
“Bev watched my chihuahua for the first time. She came home happy and playful. I could tell she had a wonderful time. Also Bev’s comment was she sure loves her tummy rubbed which I knew meant if all she wanted was Bev to rub her belly she really liked her and trusted her. I will definitely be using Bev again soon.”
“Naomi and Sam were AMAZING with my dog. Lots of communication and very friendly! They have a huge fenced in backyard, provided daily walks and you can tell they really love animals! Would 100% recommend for anyone looking for a good home to place your dog when away.”
“Monique is fantastic. Our girl Pepper was very happy and looked after. We loved the pictures and videos she sent us so we knew our girl was fine. I would highly recommend Monique.”
“Couldn’t be more grateful for the care Darien and her family has given to our dog. From the moment we left, we felt reassured knowing he was safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. It was obvious through the updates and photos that he was happy, relaxed, and getting lots of attention and affection. The regular photo updates truly helped put us at ease and made being away from him so much easier. We really appreciated the kindness, communication, and level of care throughout the stay. We were so pleased with the experience that we’ve already rebooked for next month. Highly recommended!”
“Milo had a great time with Charlette and her family! We got lots of updates and pictures each day. We felt relaxed and comfortable that Milo was in good hands! We highly recommend to anyone who needs a dog sitter!”
“Erica is sweet ! wonderful ! She watched my 13 year old Maltese for 4 days and treated him like he was her own. He never goes away from family but I was in a pinch so I tried this site. So happy I did ! She gave him love and attention and he was content and well cared for. She kept in touch with photos and comments on how he was doing. Erica is awesome !!!! I hope she will be able to watch Bear again.”
“Courtney provided wonderful care for our dog during a lengthy two week stay. She was constantly in communication with us, sent an abundant amount of photos, and made sure our pup felt right at home. We will definitely using her again for future needs and I highly recommend her to others!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️…Amazing experience!! I would give her more stars if I could. Samantha took exceptional care of Rocky! So glad to have found such a wonderful person on such a large platform. She has a remarkable family who kindly made Rocky feel right at home. So grateful for her putting us at ease during his first overnight visit. Rocky will definitely be returning.”
“We had the best experience with Martrice ! We received great communication and lots of pictures! Our boy suffers from separation anxiety and he thrived in her home while we were out of town for the week! Highly recommended booking! 😊”
“Jodie and John are amazing dog sitters! We have used their services several times and will keep coming back. They love our dogs as if they were there own and make sure to spoil them relentlessly. We got updates and pictures throughout the day to let us know all the fun they were having. I highly recommend having Jodie and John take care of your animals. You will feel at ease knowing they are in the best hands. Thank you so much for loving our doggies! We appreciate you both so very much.”
“If I could leave 100 stars I would!!! Dana and her daughter Emma and pup Tessa were awesome with my skittish Mila. They treated Mila as their own and provided exceptional care...I was afraid she wouldn't want to come back home. Dana sent pictures of Mila enjoying to put my mind at ease. Thank you for taking such good care of our baby ❤️”
“Ryan was great with Lilah! Paired her up well with a sweet pug. Then brought her for a big walk, I could certainly tell because of how tired she was when we picked her up. I received so many updates and photos which really relieved us. Thanks Ryan once again for your expertise with dogs and making Lilah so comfortable so we could go discover Niagara!”
“Melissa is fantastic, and I won’t be taking my pal anywhere else from now on. She was accommodating to my busy travel schedule and sent me update pics while I was gone! Also, he came home tired so I know he enjoyed his stay. I wish I could leave more than 5 stars!”
“What a great experience. We have never used the over night service before but will definitely be doing it again. Jordan and Nathan were wonderful and were so great to our Winnie. I am pretty sure she didn’t want to come home bc she had doggie friends at there house. They will be our only family we use for as long as they let us. Highly recommend. Thanks again.”
“My dog Jordan was well taken care of. I highly recommend Raisa for dog boarding. She let me know how my pup was doing and sent pictures. She was very kind and I am grateful to have found her. Would definitely go through her again. 10/5 stars!”

About: Hello, my name is Brianna and I love animals! I worked at Petsmart for six years and have always had dogs in my home. I think dogs need love, attention, social situations, and lots of exercise to truly thrive. I had my own Pomeranian /poodle mix dog named Diesel for 10 years that I absolutely adored before his recent passing. I have met and worked with many types of dogs throughout my life. I currently have a very open schedule as I am between work contracts for a couple months. I have a lot of time to help care for your buddy! I have taken care of my own dog for all ten years of his life. I loved to cuddle with him and play with him. I love all dogs and love to see them happy.
“Jenna was fabulous! I loved receiving her photos and updates, which she sent immediately after each visit. I so appreciated that she voluntarily adjusted the time of her first visit, when I mentioned a change in my departure time. When I got home after several days away, my cat was happy to see me, but not at all anxious or distressed, which really speaks to the care she received from Jenna. Based on the pictures, my cat seems to love her. I’ll definitely use her again!”
“Belle was amazing. Went above and beyond to care for our kitties. Sent us detailed notes and many pictures daily. It made being away from our cats a little easier. Everyone was very happy all week. Highly recommend and we will be working with her again for sure!”
About: I want to provide peace of mind to pet owners, by caring for their furry family members in there absence, as I want for my own furry family. Safe, loving and fun environment for pets to be cared for. I have senior animals and a puppy..I also give injections and have no problem giving medications. My husband and I both work, but due to different shifts, someone is always home to care for our guests. We can always be available. We have a fenced in yard, and also a smaller fenced in yard to secure no escapes :) we can modify as needed for your precious pet.
“Amanda was fabulous! She watched my cat and her 6, 5-week-old kittens as a last minute request, and on Christmas too! She clearly spent meaningful time with the cats because in the wonderful pictures, they were playing and snuggling with her. She also extended our time to include one additional visit, also with very little notice. Thank you Amanda!”
“Barbie was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond for us and our pets. Her detailed updates and frequent photos helped put our minds at ease while we were away. It was so comforting knowing our kitties were in such good hands! We will definitely be using Barbie again in the future!”
About: I don’t just watch pets, I care for them like they’re my own. My King Charles Cavalier Spaniel taught me how meaningful the bond between people and their pets can be, and it’s one of the reasons why I treat every animal with patience, affection, and individualized care. With years of experience, a flexible schedule, and a true passion for animals, you can trust that your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship while you’re away. 🐶🐱💕 I work full-time, but pet sitting fits well into my weekly schedule because I’m intentional about making time for it. I only take on bookings I can fully commit to, so every pet gets the attention, care, and reliability they deserve. Evenings and weekends are open as well as during lunch hours during the work week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and lots of attention. I also treat your home with respect, keep things clean and secure, and provide updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

Can't wait to meet your furry friends! Daily time with my dog is a must, so I know how important it is that your pet is given the attention he or she deserves. I'm mostly available in the afternoon after work and weekends, with occasional extended availability. I have an open yard with a cable/pulley so dogs can run freely without being too constrained.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for many years growing up as I had family pets and other families pets. As a patient care assistant and nursing student, I’m attentive, responsible, and comfortable providing individualized care. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable, and providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. Whether your pet needs walks, feeding, companionship, or extra patience, I’ll treat them like family. I work part-time while attending school, which allows me flexibility for pet care. I make time each day for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I communicate regularly with pet owners and can provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is receiving excellent care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requests. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and needs and strive to create a calm, positive environment. As someone with healthcare experience, I understand the importance of being observant, dependable, and prepared for unexpected situations.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats most of my life. I had a dog growing up and as I got older I would always help care for my families pets when they've go out of town or on vacation. I love all animals especially dogs and cats and will treat them with care and love just like thry were one of my own. I work from home full time and can take care of dogs or cats throughout the day on weekdays and weekends. I own 2 cats and 1 dog right now and can take care of the animal in your home or mine.

About: I have a big house with room to run and play. I'm happy taking care of the puppies and dogs that aren't quite fully potty trained. My family dog in Florida is not spayed so I have experience with females in heat. I don't mind cleaning up messes because the house is all mine. I have 2 small dogs living with me that are very spoiled. My little Einstein has allergies so I buy him special food, shampoo, conditioner, etc to help with his itchy skin. He is a quiet little one who loves meeting new pups. My little Lola loves to cuddle and chew on her bone. You can be certain that your dog will be spoiled too. I also have 2 cats, Harley and Quinn, who have their own room where they love to play. As for me, I'm a Preschool Teacher. My work is right down the road so I come home and let my dogs out during lunch. My dogs go out every couple hours when I'm home. Spending time with my dogs and cats is probably one of my greatest joys.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 12. Family members and my mom's boss would rely on me to walk, feed. and look after their pets. I've worked with many breeds such as chihuahuas, poodles, terriers to german shepherds, golden retrievers and saint bernards'. I also have a dog of my own so I understand the responsibilities of taking care of a dog since a fairly young age. I have a 2 year old German Shepherd that my family has had since he was 4 months so I have experience with large breed and training experience since I trained my puppy.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Pekin
“My Peekapoo is excited to be left in Martrice's care for the day and to play with the other pups. What a relief to have found a pet sitter I trust to give my furry friend attention and affection! And I enjoy the photos and communication she texts while I'm away. Martrice is flexible, always smiling, and a joy to work with. I highly recommend her and will continue to use her daycare and boarding services.”
“Dana responded quickly, communicated clearly throughout the process, and was absolutely fantastic with our pups! She gave them the extra love and spoiling they needed while we ventured to Niagara Falls for the day- and she even gave us some great tips! Would highly recommend and certainly would use again!”
“Erik and Lindsay are amazing! Kind, Responsive, Thorough. They have a great setup in the backyard to make sure your dog can exercise throughout the day. I would highly recommend them.”
About: If you have decided to keep your pets at home, where they are most comfortable, hire a person who will shower them with love and keep them safe. I'm retired from banking and loving the simple life, enjoying what I truly love.... caring for pets. Besides caring for my own pets, home, and family. I am available all days and will do my best to meet your needs. My three precious furbabbies-a very funny cat-Miss Kitty and two Pomskys-Sheeba & Earl-are my pride and joy. My Pomskys are escape artists which makes me hyper-aware. I understand the importance of protecting them and ensuring their safety. I love all fur babies with all my heart and treat them like children. I love to walk my dogs along the Niagara Falls Gorge trail and ArtPark in Lewiston. I have a bike trailer and take my dog and cat for rides.
“Erica and her pack are amazing! Nitro had so much fun with her and the dogs. Erica was so thoughtful to send videos and photos of some of the antics that Nitro was up to with the other pups. Definitely a wonderful experience and we can’t wait for the next visit. Erica is such a kind, cool, and impressive person, and she understands dogs so well. Nitro was immediately at ease with her and had a fantastic stay! We are very grateful for all the care and kindness! Thank you Erica!”
“Carrie took such good care of Myla during her daycare stay! It was so nice of Carrie to send Myla home with a really nice goodie bag! Lots of pictures, videos and a detailed report! Thanks Carrie, above and beyond!”
“Charlette accommodated our day care request last minute and took such great care of our dog! She was kind when we needed flexibility with drop off. She sent adorable pictures through the day, and our dog was so happy and tired on pick up. Highly recommend!”
About: Raised with the help of two Doberman “nannies,” in the home of a veterinarian. I was brought up in a home from tigers to monkeys and have a natural pull towards caring for all animals. Hi, I’m Raisa. I’ve lived with and cared for Dobermans, Dachshunds, Labradors, Australian Shepherds, Mixed Breeds, and now a senior Siberian Husky who adores other animals. I’ve raised puppies, supported seniors, and learned how to read a dog’s communication style quickly and intuitively. What sets me apart is the combination of: 🐾 A lifetime of hands‑on experience, including a course in Canine Science 🌿 A calm, confident presence 🎯 An ability to understand each dog’s unique personality and needs 🏡 A home environment that’s warm, structured, animal‑savvy and has a LARGE FENCED YARD Your pup will feel so understood and cared for, they’ll think of my home as their second home. I work from home full time so I will always be around hanging out with your pups from 8am-5pm and the evenings. Scroll down to "A Typical Day" to view their daily routine. I have a large fenced in yard and a very friendly female Siberian Husky who respects and loves fur babies of all sizes. Since our yard is large, we can accommodate multiple dogs at once if you have a large family. My pup is vaccinated and up-to date with flea, tick and heart worm meds. ATTENTION: No Indoor Marking Policy I cannot host dogs who mark indoors. Even small amounts of marking can damage flooring and trigger other dogs to do the same. If marking or repeated accidents occur, I will contact you for early pickup. Thank you for understanding and helping me maintain a safe, happy space for your pups.
“Jenn & Brian are really warm, friendly and welcoming. They’re really nice and we felt very comfortable while leaving milo at their place. I informed her about Milo’s neuter and she was really caring and kept sending updates about the stitches as well. I am from Chicago and sad that they’re in NY. If we are in same place I would send milo again and again to them whenever we go on a vacation. Best people ever! Highly Recommended.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for over 13 years. I grew up with pets, volunteered walking dogs at the Humane Society, and neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets. With my own dog of 13 years, I’ve experienced the full journey from puppyhood to senior care, giving me the skills to handle all life stages with patience and compassion. I’m a stay-at-home mom/small business owner with a very flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to devote to caring for your pets. Daily walks, playtime, and cuddles can easily fit into my routine. I’m available weekdays and weekends, and I’ll make sure your dog gets the attention and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I have a fenced good sized yard where pups can play and a dog to keep them company. I can also crate your dog if preferred. Since I have a young child, I will take on dogs who are good with kids, making for a loving, social, and family-style environment. Will typically take on dog aged 3 and up with the exception of your dog is very relaxed. Also good with other dogs and respect my older dogs boundaries of being cared for in my home. Within the past year we lost my first baby my black lab, my chocolate lab would love the company here and there of another dog that matches her lazy chill vibe to have around for overnights.
“Ashley is excellent - so tuned in to the needs of our dog and willing to go the extra mile to make her comfortable. We are so grateful to have found her! Best dog sitter hands down.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10 STARS - ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE! We traveled from the U.S. to Canada over the holidays and booked Andreas through Rover to watch our puppy during our international travels. We had the best experience with him! From the beginning, Andreas was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. We felt safe and comfortable with him right away. As a gay couple, meeting strangers can sometimes feel daunting for me and my wife for safety reasons. Andreas was nothing but warm, friendly, and respectful toward us. When we arrived, his home was absolutely charming, with a cozy holiday atmosphere and a beautiful Christmas tree. He captured our puppy by the tree in stunning photos, and they looked professional — we felt like we had a complimentary holiday photo shoot! Most importantly, Andreas was gentle and attentive with our usually anxious puppy. She likes to be held when she’s in a new place, and Andreas patiently sat with our puppy in his lap for hours until she felt completely at ease. He made sure she was comfortable throughout the duration of her stay and even offered helpful advice when we asked. Throughout her stay, Andreas sent updates that were reassuring without ever feeling overwhelming to us. We highly recommend Andreas! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and gifted with animals, he’s the one! We would book with him again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Andreas!”
“Carol is truly a dog lover! It is great that she took our last minute booking as we came in to town to sightsee. Our girl was very well taken care of giving us some free time!”
“We appreciated Kelly and her family suggesting a meet & greet and a trial day to see if our dog would be a good fit before committing to a long stay. They clearly communicated to us potential concerns with our dog staying for a long time and that shows they care about the safety of our dog and other dogs under their care :)”
“We were traveling on Road Trip with our dog and two boys. We wanted to see Niagara Falls but knew that our hotel wouldn’t let us keep our dog in the room unattended. We had Reilly stay with Mary for the day while we took in the sights. Reilly had a great time with Mary and her dogs. THANK YOU!!”
“Charlene was amazing. My doggie is from the US and he now has a CA dog buddy name Dora & a special human friend Charlene🌷. She took such great care of Rocket. He enjoyed himself for 2 daytime daycare visits.. This helped us have a more enjoyable vacation and afforded Rocket the same as well. This was our first road trip with Rocket. Thank You so much Charlene.💐🌸🌺🌸🌷🌷🌷🌷🌺🌸💐”
“Noelle watched our new puppy, Brew, during the day while my husband and I had to work. She did a fantastic job helping Brew learn about potty training and lessening her separation anxiety. Noelle is knowledgeable and kind and she provided photos and updates throughout the day. She clearly cares about animals and is a professional”
“Rosalyn was exactly what you want in a doggy sitter and went above and beyond to make Marli’s very few experiences away from home exceptional! Marli and their doggy Lilly had a great day together. I would highly recommend Rosalyn to anyone who wants a sitter that makes your doggy feel special and loved. 🐾💚💜”

As a patient care assistant and nursing student, I’m attentive, responsible, and comfortable providing individualized care. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable, and providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. Whether your pet needs walks, feeding, companionship, or extra patience, I’ll treat them like family. I work part-time while attending school, which allows me flexibility for pet care. I make time each day for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I communicate regularly with pet owners and can provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is receiving excellent care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requests. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and needs and strive to create a calm, positive environment. As someone with healthcare experience, I understand the importance of being observant, dependable, and prepared for unexpected situations.
About: I’ve had dogs growing up so I know basic care and would like to be able to do more and help others who need it! I work part time, but right now my schedule is up in the air. I am ready and able to make just about anything work! I am unable to house any dogs as I live in a campus setting. However, I am happy to walk them in a safe area, cuddle with them, and play with them!
About: I have been taking care of a variety of animals since I was 5 years old! If you need someone trustworthy, caring, and kind to animals to watch your babies, I am definitely the one to call! I have taken care of many different types of animals including birds, cats, dogs (big and small), bunnies, guinea pigs, lizards, chinchillas, squirrels, fish, and more! I treat all animals as my own, and I believe that each and every creature deserves respect and love, no matter how small (or how crazy) they may be! I recently graduated college with a degree in Elementary Education, and am on the hunt for jobs! For the time being, I have a completely open schedule, and am free to visit your pets anytime you would like me to be there! I can care for any type of animal, small, big, feathered, scaled, furry, etc.! I am extremely careful when working in other peoples' homes, I know how nerve-racking it can be! I will care for each and every animal to the best of my abilities, making sure every animal receives the love and care they deserve. When I am watching your animals, you don't have to worry! I can promise they will be in the best hands possible!
About: I have a big house with room to run and play. I'm happy taking care of the puppies and dogs that aren't quite fully potty trained. My family dog in Florida is not spayed so I have experience with females in heat. I don't mind cleaning up messes because the house is all mine. I have 2 small dogs living with me that are very spoiled. My little Einstein has allergies so I buy him special food, shampoo, conditioner, etc to help with his itchy skin. He is a quiet little one who loves meeting new pups. My little Lola loves to cuddle and chew on her bone. You can be certain that your dog will be spoiled too. I also have 2 cats, Harley and Quinn, who have their own room where they love to play. As for me, I'm a Preschool Teacher. My work is right down the road so I come home and let my dogs out during lunch. My dogs go out every couple hours when I'm home. Spending time with my dogs and cats is probably one of my greatest joys.
About: I’m a former veterinary technician, aspiring veterinarian, dog mom and animal lover. I walked with Wag for 5 years and have owned pets my whole life! I work but am available typically every 4-8 hours during the day and some overnights to care for your pet. I am available everyday, weekends and holidays. I know how to handle and work with dogs of all breeds, temperament and size, along with cats! I would love to check in on your pets in your home, take them for walks, or anything else you may need
About: I have experience taking care of pets, as I have owned a dog myself. I've worked in animal care most of my career, working for institutions such as The Buffalo Zoo, Hidden Valley Animal Adventure, Pet Supplies Plus, dog kennels, etc. I love being around animals, and intend to do so the rest of my life! I'm currently working as a personal trainer at Catalyst Fitness, so I am needed when clients have training sessions. However, this will never extend for more than a few hours (at most maybe 4-5) at a time. So even if I need to go to a training session(s), I can be right back to take care of the animals afterwards! I can constantly provide your pets with enrichment. Whether that be through walking, playing, or just general outside time. I love nature/the environment, so I love getting outdoors. So if that's what your pets enjoy I can absolutely provide! However, I realize animals have a wide spectrum of emotions and preferences, so I am very flexible to provide whatever is best for your pets!
About: If you have decided to keep your pets at home, where they are most comfortable, hire a person who will shower them with love and keep them safe. I'm retired from banking and loving the simple life, enjoying what I truly love.... caring for pets. Besides caring for my own pets, home, and family. I am available all days and will do my best to meet your needs. My three precious furbabbies-a very funny cat-Miss Kitty and two Pomskys-Sheeba & Earl-are my pride and joy. My Pomskys are escape artists which makes me hyper-aware. I understand the importance of protecting them and ensuring their safety. I love all fur babies with all my heart and treat them like children. I love to walk my dogs along the Niagara Falls Gorge trail and ArtPark in Lewiston. I have a bike trailer and take my dog and cat for rides.
About: Mom and daughter team. Been a dog owner for over 25 years. Love all animals. Patient and kind. Available 7 days. Can do pet stops or walks whichever is preferred. I currently work from home and have plenty of time for pet stops or walk. Message me anytime. May also be available on short notice. I have a fenced yard and a dog to keep your dog company. I can also crate your dog if needed. Whatever you are comfortable with.
About: I’ve taken care of a couple different dogs for around three to four years now doing basic care takings needs such as playing, walking, and feeding. I have also had a Shih tzu of my own for 3 years now. I work part time and I am a full time student. My summer schedule has classes and work several days of the week. I’m generally free most mornings and after 9pm on days I work. I let my dog walk around our home freely. However in our backyard I have a leash for him so he can walk around while not being able to run off! When I am dog watching when I am away I would crate the dog if im gone for several hours and let them roam if its for a short amount of time.
About: Years of fostering dogs has given me hands-on experience with all kinds of breeds, ages, and temperaments. I know how to handle anxious pups, high-energy dogs, and everything in between. My goal is always to provide the same love and structure I’d want for my own pets—so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because it’s something I’ve been doing for years through fostering and pet sitting. I plan my days around walks, feedings, playtime, and any special needs—like medications or training. I love creating a consistent, calm schedule that keeps pets happy and stress-free. I always start by learning each pet’s routine, preferences, and needs. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and fun environment with regular walks, playtime, and lots of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their schedule to the letter and make sure their space stays tidy, secure, and welcoming.

It was obvious through the updates and photos that he was happy, relaxed, and getting lots of attention and affection. The regular photo updates truly helped put us at ease and made being away from him so much easier. We really appreciated the kindness, communication, and level of care throughout the stay. We were so pleased with the experience that we’ve already rebooked for next month. Highly recommended!”

“If I could leave 100 stars I would!!! Dana and her daughter Emma and pup Tessa were awesome with my skittish Mila. They treated Mila as their own and provided exceptional care...I was afraid she wouldn't want to come back home. Dana sent pictures of Mila enjoying to put my mind at ease. Thank you for taking such good care of our baby ❤️”
“Ryan was great with Lilah! Paired her up well with a sweet pug. Then brought her for a big walk, I could certainly tell because of how tired she was when we picked her up. I received so many updates and photos which really relieved us. Thanks Ryan once again for your expertise with dogs and making Lilah so comfortable so we could go discover Niagara!”
“Melissa is fantastic, and I won’t be taking my pal anywhere else from now on. She was accommodating to my busy travel schedule and sent me update pics while I was gone! Also, he came home tired so I know he enjoyed his stay. I wish I could leave more than 5 stars!”
“What a great experience. We have never used the over night service before but will definitely be doing it again. Jordan and Nathan were wonderful and were so great to our Winnie. I am pretty sure she didn’t want to come home bc she had doggie friends at there house. They will be our only family we use for as long as they let us. Highly recommend. Thanks again.”

“Where do I even begin?!! Michelle has to be one of the best dog sitters we have ever encountered in our lives. She pays so much attention to our dogs and loves them as if they were her own. I never had to wonder what was going on while we were away, as Michelle does a fantastic job with updates and pictures galore throughout the day. We were able to enjoy ourselves the entire trip because we knew our dogs were in good hands. Michelle goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of. I highly recommend her services. Thank you so much!”
“We rebooked with Mindy for a recent trip after our experience with her last time. Our dog is a little bit neurotic & high maintenance and doesn’t like to be left alone in new places. It is so so so nice to be able to go on vacation and not worry about her because Mindy takes such good care of her. My dog randomly stopped eating and Mindy figured out that if she changed her bowl she would eat. She took her for plenty of walks and gave her plenty of snuggles - our dog even gets to sleep in Mindy’s bed at night! We are so relieved to have found Mindy and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Jamie is absolutely amazing and I feel lucky to have found her. My pup Oakley is shy and reserved when it comes to new people, but she took to Jamie right away. Her home was welcoming and a great place for Oakley to stay- a big beautiful backyard to run around, and she loved following Jamie around and hanging in the house. Jamie sent me lots of pictures and I could tell Oakley was loving her time with her. I will definitely use her again in the future!!”
