“John (Jay) took wonderful care of my senior male boxer Gunnar! He really made my trip so much more enjoyable because of all the daily updates and pictures! My mind was at ease! Gunnar doesn’t spend a lot of time away from home, practically none, but now I feel very that he did so well with John and found his home away from home! Thank you so much!”
“We love Cynthia! She is kind and gentle! You can see that she has a love for animals. We were very comfortable with her and we felt safe to leave Paris with her. We will definitely Use Cynthia again!”
“Christine was a great host, she accommodated all the special needs of our old lady. The big grassy yard is a huge plus as our pup is an outdoor lover. Thanks Christine, we'll be back!”
“Jinay was literally the best sitter ever!! I’m always weary about leaving my pittie with separation anxiety with someone new but she just went above and beyond! She knew exactly how to deal with it and went above and beyond with her care. She even did a training day for her and another dog!! She sent me amazing adorable pics and vid’s all throughout her stay and I could see my dog was just having the best time! So glad I chose her :)”
“This is the first time I used Veronique to care for my 3y/o Golden Retriever Pebbles for 10 days. The family was amazing with Pebbles. She got along amazingly well with the family. Their beautiful children are so sweet and played with her like they had her since she was a puppy. I received pictures of Pebbles everyday and they even gave her a spa bath because she was digging and rolled in the mud when it was raining. They are awesome. I would definitely use them again to take care of Pebbles.”
“We needed someone who will take care of my mother-in-law’s Gigi urgently for a few nights. She took us last minute and was very accommodating. There’s a certain kind of conviction when she said we’ll take care of her…and she did! She knows what she’s doing. I like that she updates us daily, responds really fast and event sent photos even without being asked. She’s not just a pro but with excellent customer service. Will definitely recommend her.”
“Catherine was great! From our initial meeting through picking up Johan. Her home, backyard and own dogs are so welcoming. She was in contact with me the whole time and flexible with pick up and drop off. We will definitely use her again!”
“Alev was the best dog sitter I ever had! Very attentive and always kept me updated. My dog is usually uncomfortable when I board him, and I notice he's exhausted after I pick him up but he wasn't like that with Alev. He was still very active when we came home, which means he felt comfortable enough to relax while he was staying. Thank you for loving and taking good care of my boy.”

About: I’ve taken care of many pets since I was young and I have always loved doing it! I myself have one cat and one dog. I’m working part-time and in school, so I am doing this on the side as an extra source of income as a college student and a way to express my love and passion towards animals. My job is in its slow season for the next couple of months, so my schedule is very open besides classes. I can tend to any needs necessary for your pets. I am willing to go above and beyond to meet your animals needs and make sure they are comfortable when being in my care, and I will always let you know if they are not.
“Jassah is the best bunny sitter we’ve used! She really cared about our buns, updated us consistently with pictures, answered all our questions about them, and does free roaming. All of this made us feel so relaxed knowing they were taken care of and receiving lots of love and attention. She even gave them Critical Care before we picked them up since she knew they’d be in the car for a few hours! As any bunny owner knows, finding pet sitters to trust is really hard since most aren’t truly rabbit-savvy, but she really understands how to care for them and our boys loved her! We can’t recommend her enough, she’s the best! Five stars!”

“My dog is so comfortable with Cynthia! Although there are big dogs at her house, she has gating throughout the house and yard to ensure that a little dog is always feeling safe!”
“So incredibly pleased with Laurie’s services! She watched my 10-month old bulldog, Augie, for the day and he had a blast! I know this because Laurie was kind enough to send me pictures throughout the day of Augie playing with the other dogs she was watching! Laurie is incredibly accommodating and very quick in responding to messages. When I went to her home to pick Augie up in the evening, he was ready to go with a special “doggy” bag of treats! Very sweet gesture! We will definitely be using her services again for doggy day care and also boarding needs! Thank you Laurie and Cliff for all the extra love and attention you gave to Augie!! Sincerely, The Drago Family”

About: For 15 years, I have loved and cared for my animals. I was lucky enough to receive excellent training for my shepherd/husky and incorporate the methods during interactions with other animals as well as my new puppy. I completely understand needing reliable care when away. Patience, exercise and attention work wonders!! I'm currently working remote on Thursdays and am able to fit walks in throughout the day as well as during weekends. A varied schedule is fine!! Ensuring the animal's environment is the same when I leave as when I arrive is necessary to prevent injury or any accident. My yard is completely fenced in and equipped to play and run!
“Gerald did a great job with my senior foster, Pam. She deals with significant anxiety and back-leg pain, so I was nervous about leaving her in a new space with a stranger, but I had nothing to worry about. She settled in quickly and even felt comfortable enough to trick Gerald into getting off the couch so she could steal his spot. Although she’s usually reluctant to be active, she went on several walks with him. Gerald was also great about sending regular photos and updates, and very flexible when I ran late for pickup. Highly recommended for anyone with a senior or high-needs dog.”
“Cindy was super accommodating at the last minute! She made me feel very comfortable by sending frequent updates and photos. When i unpacked his bag i even had souvenir photos from his stay! I would definitely book Cindy again!”
“Maggie had a great experience with Maria. I knew she was well taken care of and came home well rested and happy. Great and fast communication. Shares photos during the visit for peace of mind. Will use again!”
“Ashley did amazing. She had both of our dogs this time (double the trouble) but they came back very happy and well cared for. I can't recommend this sitter enough. She is amazing.”
“Great experience with Jen from beginning to end! Our pup Blu stayed with her for 6 days and we felt very comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We received updates while away with pics showing our pup comfy cozy in her care. We'll definitely be booking with Jen next time we travel.”
“We had Jennifer watch our older GSD Dolly for the first time this week. Jennifer and her husband took very good care of our girl, were very attentive to her needs. She sent pictures of a happy, smiling dog to us, which we appreciated. Looking forward to using Jennifer for a much longer stay in the near future. They are definitely dog people.”
