“Nicole was fantastic. This was the first time I ever left my dog with anyone other than family. She consistently provided updates and pictures. My dog was well cared for.”
“Christine is a life saver ! She took great care of our girl on such short notice. She sent pictures and was very quick to respond. Our pup was happy and tired when she got home. Thank you Christine !”
“Jennifer, Thomas and their girls took such good care of our pup. They sent frequent updates and photos throughout the visit, and we could instantly tell how comfortable our dog was in their home. Cannot recommend them enough!”
“We Love Caroline! She sent the sweetest update pics and was lovely to work with. Easy communication, good vibes all around. I’ll def be contacting her again for hangs with my pup.”
“Janice is such a warm and loving person. My dog took to her immediately and it was clear she is an animal person. She prioritizes making sure that your pet feels safe and comfortable. It is such a relief to have someone like her taking care of my girl when I have to be away.”
“Volha was wonderful with our pup. Our former Rover we had used for a long time left NYC, and Volha will definitely be our new Rover when we’re away. She communicated with us so well, was very accommodating with our delayed flight back, and sent us updates along the way. It’s obvious she cares a lot about pets and treats them with care and attention. It’s the best we could hope for in someone to watch our pup.”
“Amazing dog sitter, very loving, caring and attentive 👏🏻My dog had a great time , he had lots of fun outside, their yard is huge and fenced . I’m very happy and looking forward for a repeat 🫶Thank you ❤️🐾🐾🐾🐾”
“Donna is absolutely great, very nice, accommodating and very punctual. She sent many pictures with our dog, who seemed very happy and well taken care of. We are very pleased to have met her and shall definitely contact her again for future bookings. Thank you, Donna!”
“I’ve never felt so comfortable leaving my dog anywhere. Annette is so kind and loving to all the animals in her care. My dog Hazel had a WONDERFUL time socializing with the other dogs and getting outside on the back porch, which I could see each day on my phone via the pictures Annette texted me. Annette’s boarding and daycare service for dogs has been a great find for us. Thanks, Annette!”
“Cherissa and Ricardo were great with my 4yr old pup. They took very good care of him and sent pictures of him and let me know he was doing great. I would recommend them to anyone to watch their dog! Great job thank you!”
“I had an exceptional experience. Mildred was so kind and responsive to all my inquiries. I was a little nervous leaving my Max since he's only been with my daughter and I for a few months. but he was well taken care of! I will definitely recommend Mildred for boarding services, and I will be definitely using her in the future. Thanks again Mildred :-)”
“Mary Ann is quite simply the best. This was our third time booking her to care for our elderly dog, and she did not disappoint. She creates a thoughtful care plan to cover all possible needs, provides updates while we’re away, and makes sure our canine child is loved in our absence. What more could you ask for?! Will absolutely book her again [and again]!”
“Gabriel and Annie were wonderful hosts and caretakers for our two pups. Our Australian Cattle Dog and Aussie mix are a handful—energetic, high maintenance, and demanding, with daily exercise/stimulation requirements that can be somewhat daunting. But Gabriel and Annie handled the dogs' every need for a week-long stay. They integrated our dogs into their pack and ensured a safe and playful environment for everyone. And they sent regular updates with cute photos to show us how things were going, putting our minds at ease. Recommended!”
“I did not want to put my dogs in a kennel and was looking for a quiet home for the dogs to stay. Maria provided the perfect place for them. A quiet home on a dead end street where they were given long walks and personal attention during their stay. Maria provided video and pictures to us during their stay. I plan on using Maria again on our next vacation and would recommend her.”
“Absolute peace of mind through the entire experience. This was only the third time with a sitter and second boarding my Whiskey dog overnight; but never have I felt as content as when he was with Judy, her wonderful family & beautiful home. Was able to completely enjoy my vacation knowing he was cared for as one of her own. I really can’t thank her enough for what that contentment was worth to me. To top it off she’s so nice!! Had pushed the date forward a day at the last minute, she was totally understanding and went with the flow. Just thank you!!!! I know Whiskey dog misses his new friends already =^_^=”
“We had a great experience leaving our Cocker Spaniel Alfred with John. Every part of the experience was excellent — John offered to meet us and Alfred the week before the drop off; when we dropped Alfred off John said he was going to spend some one on one time with Alfred to get to know him. It was easy and our dog loved his visit. We’ll be back again for sure!”
“Patricia is conveniently located and a pleasure to work with. She has a calm demeanor and very loving toward Lyla. Her home is set up well to host pets and she is diligent about their care. Clearly pets love her as mine seemed to quickly adapt and was not in a hurry to leave! She’s a terrific choice iof you’re in the Amenia/ Sharon/ Salisbury/ Millbrook etc Ara. Thank you Patricia!”
“Rebecca was amazing!! This was my first time leaving my baby with someone & she definitely put my nerves at ease! She also accepted the booking very last minute. She sent so many photos & updates too, will definitely book with her again! Thank you!! ❤️”

“Rachel was ideal in every way! Great communication, totally responsible, left the house in beautiful condition, made the cat fall in love with her. My time away was stress-free knowing that Rachel was caring for my guy Herbie.”
“Ashley was a wonderful kitty sitter. She was great at communicating, and I felt so happy and relieved knowing my cat was in good hands. Thank you so much Ashley for your care and kindness, it is so appreciated!”
“Timothy was a great sitter for our elderly cat. He was patient, kind and easily administered medication for our fur guy. We absolutely will hire Timothy again when we’re out of town and know our cat Stoopy would be in good hands.”
“Elizabeth saved me in a pinch when I couldn't get home--she came over and walked my dog, whom she'd never laid eyes on, and brought her cute daughters to give her a snuggle. Plus sent me a picture of the scene, with my happy dog soaking up the attention. Thanks again!”
“Kacey is great - my cat typically hides under the couch when anyone other than me is in the house, but he seems really happy when Kacey stops over. Appreciate the help very much Kacey! Thanks!”
About: We have a beloved Cat named Chocolate, my daughters named her Chocolate because they “really love Chocolate”! I also have 2 small senior dogs that get along with cats. I have never met an animal that I don’t like…dog, cat, farm animal or wild animal. They all are special and a pet is absolutely a family member. I whole heartedly understand the love of a pet and promise to treat them as part of my family while they’re in my care.
“Christine is a down-to-earth person who is easy to talk with and pays attention to important details. At our meet & greet, she asked good questions that reflected her experience and commitment to making both pets and their owners feel comfortable with her. My young adult cat Suki had never been left alone with someone she didn’t already know. In my absence, however, Christine eased her way into Suki’s territory by setting the right balance between showing her some quiet attention and giving her the time and space she needed to adjust and come out of her shell. The photos Christine sent me proved that once she had won Suki over, the little kitty was her sweet, affectionate self and the two of them had a delightful time together! I will be asking Christine to Suki-sit in my house again!”
“Ebony is a lifesaver!!! Took care of our four pets for 3 days super super last minute — she is super communicative, sends pictures often, and took our dogs on a walk daily. I have a kitten and she took special care of him. Took extra time to make sure each pet felt comfy with her. She’s our go-to sitter now!”
“Sam, our 15 yr. old cat, tends to be a bit of a cat-curmudgeon. He rarely leaves our home. Janice and her family are genuine pet lovers whose wonderful home provided Sam with a warm, welcoming environment to relax and become part of the household. They were extremely caring and their depth of pet knowledge kept Sam healthy and happy, providing us with a stress-free vacation. Regards, Cindy & Luis”
“Jessica was great— will definitely contact her again next time I need to go out of town. She was very good at communicating and sending photo updates. The house and the cats were in good order upon our return. Bravo!”
“Steve was great with Miss Hazel. He was timely and attentive to her. Followed our instructions well and gave us lots of updates. In fact when we came home, she expected him to be there. When she didn’t see him, she went looking for him all over the house! We were only gone 2 days and already she loved him! Thanks for the peace of mind while we were away from our girl!”
About: Hi my name is Cory! I love dogs and they seem to know it right away. I have been around dogs since I was 4 years old. I have owned 2 akitas and an English bulldog . My latest Akita Diablo passed away 5 years ago and I haven't gotten another dog since his passing so currently I have no dogs. I only have chinchillas and a hamster as of now. I have a lot of experience working with dogs and they seem to feel relaxed and comfortable when in my care, making this the perfect job for me. I know how to approach these animals in a way that is non-threatening to reduce their anxiety and to help them relax. I can help to maintain the routine they are used to, so they will not get anxious or feel so alone while their owners are away. I have extensive knowledge concerning the different breeds of dogs and I know how to take care of them properly. I understand that some breeds have special needs and that the age of the dog will play a major role in how to take care of them. You can depend on me to provide excellent service and to take great care of your dog/dogs. I know what questions to ask to make sure I understand their specific needs. I will be full time dedicated to your furry child, providing walks and play time as much as needed! There is nothing I wouldn't do to make your dog feel comfortable and keep their schedule to your liking. Please provide a list with your dog's habits so I can make sure they feel at home. Don't hesitate to contact me, I am very flexible with my time, and I will love and care for your dog as my own. I'm currently off from work during the summer and during the school year I only work part time at an elementary school down the road from me (2 1/2 hrs) , So I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I will do anything to make your pup feel comfortable and at home away from home during his stay with me. I love detailed instructions so please feel free to let me know everything about your pet! I have a fenced in yard and 2 children who are huge dog lovers who would love to keep your dog(s) busy and keep them company!
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I rescued my first dog from the local humane society when I was 11, and that experience started a lifelong passion for caring for animals. Before becoming a nurse, I worked as a veterinary assistant for two local animal hospitals where I gained valuable hands-on experience with animal care and handling. I developed skills in basic training, puppy socialization, reading animal body language, medication administration, subcutaneous fluids, nail trimming, grooming, and bathing. I also volunteered for several years with a local dog rescue as a foster, helping provide temporary homes, structure, and love for dogs before their adoptions. Many needed socialization, basic training, and a calm environment to help them thrive. I later served as the rescue’s foster and event coordinator until 2020. Today I share my home with three of my own beloved dogs. One of our previous dogs had epilepsy and required frequent monitoring and medication, which gave me additional experience caring for pets with medical needs. In my free time I enjoy traveling, camping, hiking with my dogs, training with our Belgian Malinois, and watching my daughter ride her horse. Caring for animals has always been a true passion of mine, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a nurse who works three 12-hour shifts each week, which gives me several days off to dedicate to caring for animals. I truly enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. My schedule is fairly flexible on my days off, and I’m happy to work with you to meet your pet’s individual needs and routine. Please check my calendar for availability and feel free to reach out with any specific requests. I will always do my best to accommodate and treat your animals with the same care and attention I would give my own. At this time, I’m unable to host dogs in my home, but I’m happy to care for them in the place they feel most comfortable—your home. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and extended daytime care depending on your pet’s needs. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care in a calm and compassionate environment, treating your pets with the same attention and kindness I would give my own.
“Wonderful experience - we had to rush out of town twice because of an elderly parent’s health. Samantha was there for us both times even though it was short notice. She saw to our cats needs and even helped out with an issue with unplugging a machine that was left running. Wonderful lady!!!”

“We were in town for an event and needed someone to watch our 5 month old puppy for the day. Christine was perfect! She is so nice and has a friendly boxer puppy. My puppy can be aloof with strangers but he took to Christine immediately even letting her hold him right away. Christine's yard is perfect and our puppies played all day. I would go back to Christine's anytime we are back in Queens.”
“After 20 years of using the same pet sitter we moved and had to find someone else. Lucky for us we found Janice on Rover. When we returned after just one visit our dog greeted Janice like an old friend. She clearly loves animals and we are so glad we found a place for our dogs where they are really cared for.”
“Rosalie was SO GOOD and patient with our nervous chihuahua. She sent great updates and he had a lovely time in her home and fenced yard. We highly recommend her for dogs of all sizes! :)”
“I have been taking my two dogs to Stephen for daycare every week for a few months now and I am very happy with the care he provides to my pups. He is very reliable, attentive and kind. My dogs love him and feel very comfortable in his house. I feel very lucky to have found him.”
“Kennedy has a fabulous time with Samantha and Michael and their adorable kids! We got updates and pictures and they were very quick to respond. We were very happy and would highly recommend them! Kennedy would love to come back to play!”
“Alison is so great! She was super flexible with drop off and pick up time and my dog loved staying with her during the day. Once we were two blocks away he would start running and whimpering.”
About: Hi y'all! I am an all around animal lover. My girls and I take any dogs that we are watching on walks with us every night, we have lots of fun. Pets are allowed on the furniture, unless you state explicitly state you don't want them to be. I prefer not to kennel overnight, but there are always exceptions to the rule! I am able to help with puppies and older pups alike; age is not an issue. Please ask any questions you may have for me, thank you so much we can’t wait to meet you! I am currently working part time but I am always available for nightly drop ins or for any early morning stops on my way in. I am always respectful of your safety protocols, gates are always double and triple checked, doors are always checked to be shut correctly. Food and water levels are consistently monitored. Instructions are always followed to the letter.
“Nayeli was great from start to finish. My original plan fell through at the last minute and I messaged Nayeli the day before my trip. She was super responsive and made things happen quickly. Most importantly, she provided a safe place for my senior dog, including hourly pictures to let me know he was happy. I recommend Nayeli to anyone looking for a safe place for their furry friend(s).”
“Amanda was an amazing sitter for our dog Honey! She was thoughtful, communicative, flexible on timing, and Honey seemed so happy and calm when we picked her up. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Marielle took great care of my little Zuzu! My puppy started the day sad about me leaving her there and by the end she was totally bonded with Marielle! She was also totally tuckered out so she clearly got plenty of exercise.”
“My dog absolutely loves Jesmine and Channon’s place. She always looks to be having a good time. Today she didn’t even want to leave. These are good people and I look forward to my pup staying with them again.”
About: My own dogs are always the #1 teacher. They show me how to best care for them - with food, play, training, medications, travel, sleepless days and nights when they've been ill, and giving them all them comfort I can. I've volunteered at dog shelters, spent hours walking dogs in all kinds of weather, and offered comfort to friends who've had to say goodbye to their best fur friends. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets plenty of attention - playing, feeding, and scratching behind the ears. I take my dog for swims in the river, off leash romps in the woods, and leashed walks around town. We also play fetch and tug-of-war in the house or on the deck. If your dog needs a playmate, my dog, Jackson, may be a good fit. My cats - depending on their mood - like to lounge in the sun, pounce on the occasional toy, run up stairs, and hunt for treats I've hidden for them.
“Jacqueline was very friendly and communicative, and Bunsen took an instant liking. We received photos of her well-being during her stay and of her mile walk. Jacqueline’s home is conveniently located in a popular historic town, making drop-off/pickup easy on the way to/from Hunter Ski Resort from our hotel. Bunsen was well cared for and happy. She was also so tired, that she managed to rest during the long car ride back home! We would book Jacqueline again.”
“Thalya is truly the sweetest! This was our puppy Kalbi’s first time at daycare, and Thalya was so caring, patient, and attentive with her. Our little one can be quite anxious and a bit of a handful at times, but we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such gentle, capable hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Peter was great with my very energetic pup! He called a day before the appointment to make sure all my preferences are met. Very flexible with the times I requested. Most importantly, I was confident that my puppy was safe and enjoying himself. Peter’s home is dog friendly and he was kind enough to send me a picture of my beloved pup. Would definitely recommend!!”

“Ashley is a delight. She was very communicative and caring about our elderly dog with special needs. We only needed her to come and take him for a walk, but he is blind and deaf and also wears a diaper. She let us know when she got to our house and sent pictures afterwards. We felt very comfortable with her and will definitely be using her again.”
About: I grew up around animals, from birds and hermit crabs to cats and dogs, my household has always been filled with pets. I have also fostered medically fragile dogs and volunteered at the Westchester Humane Society. I am passionate about ensuring all animals receive the best possible care and I will give your pet the same love I give my own. I currently work part time and I’m a full time grad student, but I have my own transportation so my schedule is open and flexible. I will schedule a meet and greet with you and your pet to learn all about their unique quirks, likes, dislikes, and routines prior to beginning services with them. I ensure a safe environment by using non-retractable leashes on walks and will send you updates while I am with your pet. Your pet's safety is my top priority.
About: Animals have and always will be an integral part of my human nature. To make sure animals are provided with exercise, love and compassion are ways I express my values as an animal advocate. Keeping routine is my forte. I have most experience with dogs, all breeds and sizes! Walking is how I keep routine and promote a sense of well being for both my own animals and others 😌 Currently seeking full time pet care. Exercise takes time and I enjoy the physical aspect of a healthy lifestyle. Keeping a balance of short and or long walks. Depending on the breed I could make exercise minimal or lengthy. Currently I have a 15ft by 5ft outdoor kennel. Yard is well maintained with space and away from any roads. Private residence. I keep my small dog on a lead. Lead is also an option for other animals. My yard has plenty of space for playtime and fetching.
About: I have alot of experience with horse sized dogs and little obes alike, its important to me that they get the love they miss from their owners. Im currently going to school partime and learning the area so i have tons of time to go for walks or play with your fur baby and keep up their schedule. I want to make sure both of our spaces are respected, i like to keep places as nice as i left them so i try to take an hour to spot clean anywhere ive been or where your pet may have made a mess and leave it tidy.

About: I have been around animals all my life. Born in the country, cows and horses are most common, but I’ve come to love having dogs, cats, and reptiles of my own! There has never been an animal I couldn’t warm up to, and I love getting to know every pets unique personality. I DO OWN PETS, I just am not offering boarding services or requesting sitting services so I would prefer not to share their details! I am always willing to move around my schedule to better fit my clients needs! I have a ride I depend on for now while I’m learning to drive, so I cannot be out too late unless I’m staying the night. I prefer to pet sit or walk pets at other homes, not my own, as I have a reactive dog with history of abuse, and she is not amicable with other pets.
“Ella is wonderful! She is outgoing, friendly, and an excellent communicator. More important, she clearly adores dogs. She quickly bonded with our shy & anxious girl, Mina, at their first meeting. As well, Ella was unflustered when I realized I'd scheduled the wrong day for one of Mina's walks. Thankfully, she was able to accommodate my (very) last-minute revision! We will definitely request Ella again!!”

About: Choosing a sitter is about more than just a check-in; it’s about finding a calm, capable environment where your pet feels truly understood. My background in healthcare naturally informs how I care for animals—I tend to be an observant caregiver, keeping a watchful eye on comfort levels and the small details that matter for a pet’s well-being. As a working-from-home mom, my days are rooted in a reliable routine. This allows me to provide the consistent, low-stress supervision that is so helpful for all animals who need a little extra help and those who require a patient, intuitive touch to feel at home. I have experience caring for a wide range of needs and species—from the high energy of puppies to the quiet companionship of seniors, the unique needs of rescues, and even farm friends like chickens. Whether it's keeping a medication schedule on track, assisting with mobility challenges, or simply providing a quiet space for a nervous soul to decompress, I focus on creating a safe, gentle environment where every animal in my care can truly relax. If for some reason (vacations/getaways) we are unavailable it will be marked on the calendar. I do my best to confirm my calendar and availability daily. Our front and back yard is fenced in and we are set back from the road. There is plenty of room to run and play. As for feeding; All dogs and/or cats will be fed separately. This includes treats.
About: I have had a variety of animals throughout my life. Dogs, cats, reptiles(even an alligator at one point). I currently have 4 snakes as well. I currently work 12 hour shifts on Thursday and Friday. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday day are pretty open now. We can certainly discuss time frames that work for both of us I request that if there are any special instructions for your pet, that you have them written out for me. I will travel to you to take care of your fur child of any age. I always respect my clients homes and pets.
About: I have been a pet lover & pet care advocate for as long as I can remember! I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities my entire life.

Over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and love their pets like my own which I do with a smile.

I’m not just a sitter, i’m an emotional support human & a dependable companion for your pet while you’re away. I believe in consistent communication, lots of love, and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. I love & care for them as if they were my own. I’m experienced with administering medications, sticking to routines, and keeping pets calm and comfortable in their own environment. Your comfort, peace of mind, & your pet’s happiness are my top priority! As someone who works from home and takes online classes, my schedule is super flexible; perfect for giving your pet the attention they deserve! I’m home throughout the day, which means your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches. Whether it’s a midday walk, playtime, or just some company while they nap, I can be there when they need it most. My routine allows me to be fully present and responsive to your pet’s needs. I can stick to their feeding and walking schedule, provide consistent companionship, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. Being home all day also makes me a great fit for puppies, senior pets, or dogs who need a little extra TLC. When I care for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your pet’s routine closely & I make sure they’re comfortable in their space, following their usual schedule for walks, meals, playtime, and cuddles. Whether it’s sticking to their favorite walking route or knowing exactly how they like their food prepared, I pay close attention to every detail you share. I know how much the little details matter! Being in their own environment helps your pet feel more relaxed, and I’m there to make sure they feel loved every step of the way. I’m experienced in administering a variety of medications, including flea and tick ointments, oral chewy meds, and pills; whether they’re hidden in a treat or given directly. I stay calm and patient to make the process as stress-free as possible. I’m comfortable managing multiple pets and giving each one the attention and care they need. I treat your home with the same respect and care I give to your pet: clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. I provide regular updates with messages & photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands & know everything is going smoothly while you’re away.

“Christine is a life saver ! She took great care of our girl on such short notice. She sent pictures and was very quick to respond. Our pup was happy and tired when she got home. Thank you Christine !”
“We Love Caroline! She sent the sweetest update pics and was lovely to work with. Easy communication, good vibes all around. I’ll def be contacting her again for hangs with my pup.”
“Janice is such a warm and loving person. My dog took to her immediately and it was clear she is an animal person. She prioritizes making sure that your pet feels safe and comfortable. It is such a relief to have someone like her taking care of my girl when I have to be away.”
“Volha was wonderful with our pup. Our former Rover we had used for a long time left NYC, and Volha will definitely be our new Rover when we’re away. She communicated with us so well, was very accommodating with our delayed flight back, and sent us updates along the way. It’s obvious she cares a lot about pets and treats them with care and attention. It’s the best we could hope for in someone to watch our pup.”
“Amazing dog sitter, very loving, caring and attentive 👏🏻My dog had a great time , he had lots of fun outside, their yard is huge and fenced . I’m very happy and looking forward for a repeat 🫶Thank you ❤️🐾🐾🐾🐾”
“I had an exceptional experience. Mildred was so kind and responsive to all my inquiries. I was a little nervous leaving my Max since he's only been with my daughter and I for a few months. but he was well taken care of! I will definitely recommend Mildred for boarding services, and I will be definitely using her in the future. Thanks again Mildred :-)”
“Gabriel and Annie were wonderful hosts and caretakers for our two pups. Our Australian Cattle Dog and Aussie mix are a handful—energetic, high maintenance, and demanding, with daily exercise/stimulation requirements that can be somewhat daunting. But Gabriel and Annie handled the dogs' every need for a week-long stay. They integrated our dogs into their pack and ensured a safe and playful environment for everyone. And they sent regular updates with cute photos to show us how things were going, putting our minds at ease. Recommended!”
“Absolute peace of mind through the entire experience. This was only the third time with a sitter and second boarding my Whiskey dog overnight; but never have I felt as content as when he was with Judy, her wonderful family & beautiful home. Was able to completely enjoy my vacation knowing he was cared for as one of her own. I really can’t thank her enough for what that contentment was worth to me. To top it off she’s so nice!! Had pushed the date forward a day at the last minute, she was totally understanding and went with the flow. Just thank you!!!! I know Whiskey dog misses his new friends already =^_^=”
“We had a great experience leaving our Cocker Spaniel Alfred with John. Every part of the experience was excellent — John offered to meet us and Alfred the week before the drop off; when we dropped Alfred off John said he was going to spend some one on one time with Alfred to get to know him. It was easy and our dog loved his visit. We’ll be back again for sure!”
“Rebecca was amazing!! This was my first time leaving my baby with someone & she definitely put my nerves at ease! She also accepted the booking very last minute. She sent so many photos & updates too, will definitely book with her again! Thank you!! ❤️”
“Stephen is a super care taker, for sure. Great and timely communications, friendly and very accommodating for a last minute request. Made the whole experience of looking after my Gracie seamless and easy.”
“Thayla took care of our dog Foxy, while we were away on a 2 week trip. My family and I felt so comfortable leaving her with Thayla, because she is an extremely nice dog loving person who treated our dog like her own. She took our dog on 3 walks everyday, sent us pictures and updates everyday about the fun things they were doing. Will definitely leave Foxy with Thayla and her dogs next time we are going away again. Thank you ❤️ Camilla and Foxy”
“Kate has a very warm demeanor and my first impression when I brought our dog Astrid over to her house for a meet and greet before boarding, was that she would care for our dog as if she were her own. Astrid is usually quite anxious when she’s first introduced to a new person and a new environment, but she appeared to be more at ease much quicker with Kate at her house than she typically is. Kate sent us regular pictures and updates, was very flexible about our schedule for pickup and drop-off, prompt and easy to communicate with, and we didn’t worry about Astrid at all. We will certainly reach out to Kate again when planning future boarding accommodations for our sweet Astrid.”
“Nicole was fantastic! Highly recommend! She kept us up to date with pictures and text messages of how Luna was doing daily. We couldn’t be more pleased with the care she provided. 5 stars!!”
“Brittany was wonderful with Cody. He is not used to be separated from us so we knew that he would be a challenge. I am happy with the treatment that Cody received and if the occasion occurs we will book with Brittany again.”
“I was in town for a work trip, but my dog didn’t have someone to watch him. Rosalie is a very sweet person and made my dog feel right at home. It was a nice day out, so he got to spend a lot of time outside exploring her yard! Thank you Rosalie!”
“Cristian took care of my two dogs for a stay of 8 days. He kept us updated with pictures each day and it looked like they had a lovely time and were well cared for. Drop off and pickup were also very easy”
