“Ellen is a phenomenal sitter. Athena has stayed with her twice and there are always other pups for her to play with and so much space. Ellen has no issue at all maintaining multiple dogs! Athena is always so happy at drop off and pickup, and needs a big nap after her stay from all the fun! We look forward to booking again!!”
“I have never used a sitter before for my dog. Sarah was Awesome. She totally put my mind at ease, kept me updated daily with pictures, and even spoke directly at one point. My dog had such a good time, I think she was a little sad to come home...LOL Sarah's home is totally dog friendly, and very clean. She has a beautiful fenced in back yard, but till took the time to walk around the neighborhood with my girl. I was totally Blessed to get her, and look forward to traveling in the future now. Highly recommend...!”
“Tyson was well taken care of while we were on vacation for a week. Renee sent me photos everyday showing how spoiled he was getting! He had an amazing time and was exhausted after I picked him up. Thank you!”
“Emily was fantastic! She took the best care of Maya and Millie while we were on vacation. I told her upon meeting that I didn't need daily updates or photos, but to contact me if any issues came up. She gave perfect feedback, and I felt very confident that my dogs were having the best time on her expansive property. I would definitely book Emily again and I highly recommend her!”
“Second time booking with Charlie, first time boarding. It was a smooth and stress-free experience. My dog seemed very happy playing with the other pups. You know your pup is always in good hands with Charlie.”
“My pups had a great time with Adrienne, who accommodated us last minute. Our pups are high anxiety and they settled in quickly and happily for a couple of nights at her place. She’s great about providing the amount of updates you feel comfortable with, and was thoughtful with how she prepared for their stay. I would definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats. We do tend to spoil them. I have lots of room for them to run and play in our fenced in yard. We walk them on a leash through our nearby cemetery. I currently work part time with Amazon flex. I will always be available if I have any pet jobs as Amazon flex is very flexible. I’m available for home and pet sitting. I have a fenced in back yard and currently own 1 miniature Daschund female 2 years old to help keep your furry friends playing or if needed I can use a crate with permission only.
“John and Jess were the most amazing and best sitter I have had so far..! They were most attentive sitter and were sending multiple videos and photos thru out the day during Shiners stay. I also had to extend one night for him and they were flexible and adjusted it right away. Overall.. shiner enjoyed the stay there with ease and I’ll be booking John and Jess again for future Shiners stays.”
“Jesse was wonderful is every aspect.. as we are driving down from CT, we had a few questions and she very prompt with her communication. She took care of Sufi very well and he was very happy when we picked him up.”
“Terri was absolutely wonderful. She let us do a meet & greet before leaving my pups which really gave me peace of mind. She had a nice & clean environment. Daily reassurance of how they have been doing along with a ton of pictures and to top it of she was so kind to gift them some new toys to keep!”
“As always, Kuzco had the time od his life with Rachel and Jason. They're so good with him, it allows me to breath a little easier as a first time pawrent. Thank you!”
“Sandra’s will forever be my dogs favorite place to go. She has so many friends that she gets to hang out with and run all day. Sandra is truly remarkable and I love knowing that my dog Irma is safe and happy while I’m away.”
“Lejune is heaven sent! She provided daily updates including picture and videos during the stay. She was very welcoming and accommodating. I felt safe and. secure knowing my dog is in great hands during his stays. He enjoys playing with Eva and spending time with her family. So much, that he doesn’t want to leave lol. I give this family a 10/10 and I recommend for all of your boarding/day care needs! Thank you Lejune & Michael.”
“Brittney took such great care of Pluto. Being new to the area and in need of someone to look after Pluto she helped me feel at ease. She sent me updates and pics throughout his stay. I will definitely being him back. He had such a good time.”
“Dorian did a great job taking care of my fur baby. My dog is an older dachshund who is still energetic so I worry about him with sitters, but Dorian put my mind at ease by communicating with me well. From what I was told Obi had a great time playing with kids and taking lots of breaks that may or may not have included some mud baths lol. Thank you Dorian.”
“Our 1.5yr old puppy, Birdie, was in the very best hands with Melissa during a recent boarding! Melissa is thorough in her intake, noting Birdie's food allergies and current schedule, and is warm and gentle in helping pups acclimate to a new environment. Melissa maintained Birdie's schedule, giving her plenty of outdoor and play time, and administered Birdie's medication, giving us peace of mind to focus on family. We enjoyed the handful of photos Melissa sent along the way and always appreciate her responsive communication. Melissa is deeply professional and the most thorough and warm caretaker and our expectations are always surpassed when Birdie is with Melissa!”
“Mandie was AMAZING! I 110% recommend her for your pet sitting needs! This was our first time leaving our girl Nova for an extended period of time and she made it the most comfortable experience. She sent pictures and videos daily which eased our mind so much! She is very active with the dogs she watches and her own! She worked on commands with my dog and her home was very dog friendly! We couldn’t have picked a better sitter for our dog Nova!”
“Chloe was the perfect choice for our family and dog! Chloe cared for our 1.5 year old sheepdog mix Gary like he was her own. It was his first time leaving him anywhere for so long so we were nervous, especially since we were leaving the country. Chloe shared lots of photos and videos which made us feel even more confident in our choice to use her. Our pup was happy, busy and exhausted- just the way you want a young dog! We will for sure use Chloe again- she was amazing!”

“Amber is a great person that is kind and caring. This is the first time I have left my cats with someone that isn’t family; she definitely made the experience positive and I know I will be calling her in the future.”

About: I have taken care of cats for years and absolutely love them! I’ve mostly cat sit for friends and neighbors. The only thing I would be uncomfortable with cats is giving them medicine.
“Jasmine did an excellent job caring for my pups. Jasmine followed instructions well and was very calm and supportive. They can be a hassle but Jasmine stayed optimistic and helpful. Grateful for the support!!”
“Ally was so wonderful to take time out of her holiday week to check on our cat. She always sends us lots of pics and videos to put our mind at ease. She even opened up gifts from Santa Paws with our cat 😍”
“Amanda is amazing! Remy loves her and I felt so reassured by her clear communication. She manages to be both professional and warm and caring. I hope to have many more visits from her going forward.”
“Wow wow wow, I cannot say enough great things about Kaylee!!! We asked her to house sit for a very big trip, and I knew we were asking a lot, but she truly delivered and was everything we could want in a cat and house sitter, and more!! She sent us text, photo, and video updates along the way, and was great at communicating with us. She was extremely patient with our shy cat, and also with our very sassy little cat! In the end, she ended up befriending the little one and gaining her trust, which was so sweet! She also left our house in immaculate condition, which was impressive given how long she stayed. We will definitely be using her services again, and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve pet sat for many cats over the years, along with having two cats of my own. I’m comfortable giving medications and cleaning litter boxes. My own cat is special needs so I’m not a stranger to getting creative in order to give medication.
About: I have 2 senior cats and have had cats all my life. I am sensitive to the needs and body language of cats, and I can care for cats with many different energy and affection levels. I know cats can be picky, and I don't mind following specific directions. Also, I am going to volunteer soon at my local shelter for cat socialization :).

About: I've been taking care of my own animals my whole life. Neighbors, friends, and family started hiring me for pet care when I was still in high school. I love the stark difference in pet personalities and learning how each of them likes to be cared for. Examples of my past & present clientele: - A family with 7 chihuahuas of varying ages and levels of crazy - A brand new hyperactive Bernedoodle puppy whom I still care for regularly (she's 4 now!) - A sweet lab who liked long, slow walks and bananas - A moody cat who could not care less about me (I have slowly earned the blessing of giving head pats to them now) - A tortoise who inspires me to slow down and eat more greens *my home is a safe space for people and pets from all walks of life* I am currently working from home, so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pet(s)! I love being and walking outside and having an animal companion to join me is always a pleasure. We have a large back porch and yard for sniffing around. If your pet requires extra exercise, we have a quiet neighborhood to walk around in. We have a dog bed in almost every room, space for you to bring a crate, or an area that can be closed off overnight if necessary or requested. There are few places in the house that the dogs don't have access to out of an abundance of safety. Otherwise, they are welcome to make themselves at home! If I care for an animal in your home, I will let you and your pet take the lead!

I am very respectful of others and following rules so if I would need to be in your home rest assured your home and fur baby would be in good hands.
About: I have experience, taking care of cats, dogs, and chickens. I am willing to take care of smaller animals, such as hamsters, birds or guinea pigs as well. During the summer, I am home most days of the week. I am a full time teacher so I am off during the summer. Therefore I am very reliable and flexible with times. I have a fenced in yard that’s big enough for dogs to get some exercise. I have two kids who enjoy seeing and meeting new animals.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with more than 50 years of experience caring for pets of all kinds. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, chickens, hamsters, gerbils, and fish, giving me a deep understanding that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience administering medications and providing attentive, individualized care. My goal is to give your dog a safe, comfortable, and loving home away from home while you’re away. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care each day. I maintain a consistent routine to make sure pets in my care are comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I enjoy spending time with animals and will provide regular interaction, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. I also provide daily photo and video updates so you can stay connected and know your pet is happy and doing well. Pets staying in my home become part of the family. We have a friendly Boston Terrier and a secure fenced-in yard where dogs can enjoy safe outdoor time, play, and fresh air. I provide a calm, loving environment with attention to each dog’s individual needs, including their feeding schedule, exercise routine, medications, and comfort preferences. I keep my home safe and welcoming so your dog can relax and feel at ease while you’re away. For additional peace of mind, we live just two miles from a highly respected veterinary clinic should an emergency ever arise.
“Ellen is wonderful and very reliable. Warm and friendly. My girls had a good time and even met some new friends. I would definitely recommend Ellen as a dependable pet sitter.”
“Sam was great! Greeted us on arrival and Arthur immediately bonded with her. Sent us photos during the day and he had a relaxing day. We would definitely have her watch Arthur if we were in the Gettysburg area again. Thanks Sam!!”
“Emily is a wonderful, intuitive care person for dogs. She has two dogs of her own and a couple of other dogs that board with her. I have a non-altered female and she cares for a non-altered male. I won't be back because of that, but no fault of Emily's.”
“Nadia took the time to get to know me and Walter's needs, before just accepting any offer! I was greeted with smiling faces (her and her 3 kids), and right away Walter was home away from hom!

He came back to me completely pooped and I appreciate Nadia's attentiveness to Walter !”

About: My Experience My experience caring for dogs goes back well before I started doing this full time. In high school, I walked dogs for people in my community to earn extra money, so getting paid to grab a leash and spend time with dogs is actually something I’ve come back to years later. Since then, I’ve continued gaining hands-on experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels through years of owning and caring for dogs myself. I’m comfortable with everything from a dog that wants to stop and investigate every mailbox to a large, energetic dog that genuinely needs to put some miles in. What started as a way to make money in high school has developed into something I take much more seriously today. Pet care is now my full-time focus, and I approach it professionally—learning each dog’s routine, keeping individual notes, communicating with owners, and working to build a relationship with every dog I regularly walk. I don’t just want experience walking dogs. I want experience knowing your dog—what they enjoy, what they avoid, how they communicate, and what makes them excited when I show up at the door. My Schedule & Availability: Open 24/7/365 | ASAP | rain☔️, snow❄️, or shine☀️ | hot🥵 or cold🥶 Pet care is my full-time job, so my schedule is built around the dogs I care for—not around another work schedule. I am available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Early mornings, afternoons, evenings, overnight, weekends, and holidays—rain, snow, or shine, hot or cold. I especially welcome recurring clients who want to make exercise a consistent part of their dog’s routine. Because this is my full-time focus, I can accommodate regular weekday walks, multiple walks per week, longer walks, high-energy dogs, and owners who work overnight or unusual schedules. I also understand that life doesn’t always happen on a schedule, which is why I accept ASAP requests whenever possible. If I receive an alert at 2:00 AM, for example, my goal is to be at your pet’s door by 4:00 AM. ASAP requests are always subject to my current schedule, location, and travel time, so immediate arrival can’t be guaranteed, but I aim to respond to ASAP requests within two hours of receiving the alert. Weather doesn’t automatically mean a canceled walk either. Rain, snow, or shine—hot or cold—I’m prepared to get outside. Dogs still need exercise, bathroom breaks, mental stimulation, and attention when the weather isn’t perfect. Safety always comes first, so extreme heat, dangerous cold, thunderstorms, ice, or other hazardous conditions may mean adjusting our distance, route, pace, or time outdoors rather than putting your dog at unnecessary risk. I also leave enough time between scheduled clients so your dog’s visit doesn’t feel rushed. Consistency is important to me, and regular walks give me the opportunity to learn your dog’s personality, routine, favorite places, preferred pace, and individual needs. Whether it’s 2 PM or 2 AM, a beautiful sunny afternoon or a snowy morning, my goal is to be someone you can depend on—and someone your dog gets excited to see because they know it’s time to go explore. Safety, Trust & Environment: Your dog’s safety will always come first, but I also believe dogs deserve to experience the world outside. Rain, snow, or shine—hot or cold—I’m prepared to get them outside and moving. I’ll always adjust our pace, distance, and route to your dog and the conditions rather than automatically canceling a walk because the weather isn’t perfect. Throughout every walk, I pay close attention to your dog’s body language, breathing, energy level, paws, traffic, other animals, and our surroundings. On hot days, that means watching pavement temperatures, prioritizing shade and water, and recognizing signs of overheating. In cold or snowy conditions, I’ll monitor their paws and comfort and follow any instructions you have for coats, boots, or other gear. Weather won’t scare me away, but unsafe conditions will change the plan. Extreme heat, severe storms, dangerous ice, or conditions that could put your dog at risk may mean a shorter outdoor walk with the remaining time devoted to safe indoor attention and stimulation. Trust matters just as much. You’re trusting me with a member of your family and, in many cases, access to your home. I’ll respect your property, follow your instructions, communicate with you, and make sure your dog is safe and secure before I leave. I also want dogs to have the opportunity to be dogs. I’ll give them time to sniff, explore, investigate their surroundings, and experience what’s happening around them instead of treating every walk like a race. Every dog is different, and I’ll learn yours. Rain, snow, or shine. Hot or cold. My goal is to become someone you trust—and someone your dog gets excited to see walking through the door.
“Nova had a great time with Renee today. Renee was responsive, shared updates throughout the day, and made scheduling very easy. She was flexible and it truly felt like she treated Nova as her own. I will definitely use Renee and her husband again.”
“Cheryl made me feel at ease about leaving my very anxious baby. Her system to introducing the dogs really put my mind at ease, and she sent me pictures while we were out to let me know my pup was okay. I would recommend her. Thank you Cheryl!”

“Kaylee was very responsive to my messages and very accommodating of my request to schedule a meet and greet on short notice ahead of our booking. She interacted sweetly and patiently with my very excited pup. She showed up on time for the booking and followed all instructions given. I hope to be able to call on her for help again in the future!”
About: I've been surrounded by animals, in particular cats, my entire life. At one point, we had a household full of animals ranging from a rambuctious German Shepherd to a teeny tiny Leopard Gecko and Corn Snake. We've had pets for a long time, and they always gave us structure. They are and have always been a part of our family, and we tend to take care more of them than ourselves. I live in an apartment now, but I am willing to come to the owner's home for daily walks, pet/house sitting if they're at work or on vacation, play with the animals and give them exercise, and also available to stay overnight if needed.
About: Growing up, learning to take care of different kinds of animals was encouraged. From guinea pigs to horses, I have seen it all. Now living on my own, and having a dog and cat of my own, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to take care of your animals. I have experience giving a wide variety of medication to both dogs and cats. I do my best to follow any schedule or instructions given by parents and to communicate as much as possible throughout the stay! I’m currently not working so I have plenty of time to care for your animals. I do have a dog and a cat of my own that I will need to stop to check in on during the day, but I do have someone who can stay with them during the night if you do need overnight sitting. I currently only offer pet sitting in the client’s home. I do my best to follow all rules and instructions given, I do prefer any specifics (feeding amounts, any medications, etc.) to be written down just so I can reference back if I need!

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years, starting in middle school and continuing through college and grad school. I have experience with dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and caring for both dogs and cats. While in school, I regularly pet sat for families in Pennsylvania and built lasting relationships through reliable, attentive care. I’ve worked with pets of all ages and sizes—including dogs with health issues who require medication, special routines, or extra attention. What sets me apart is my lifelong connection to animals. I grew up in a home with pets throughout my childhood—including 4 dogs (labs and pointers), 6 cats, and 10 bunnies—so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely love making animals feel safe, happy, and cared for. I recently started a full-time role, but the great news is I only work three days a week! That means I still have plenty of availability during weekdays and weekends for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting. I'm happy to work with your schedule and provide consistent care for your pets while you're away or at work. Feel free to reach out with any questions or requests—I’d love to help! I take safety and trust seriously and always aim to make both pets and their owners feel at ease. I care for pets in their own home to help maintain their routine and comfort, which I know is especially important for animals who may get anxious in unfamiliar environments. I follow all instructions carefully—whether it's feeding schedules, medication, walking routes, or playtime preferences—and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and happy while you're away. I treat every pet like my own and every home with the utmost respect, keeping things clean, secure, and exactly how you left them. You can feel confident that your furry friend is in caring, trustworthy hands.
About: I’ve had many animals growing up (I lived on a farm!) and even now. I’m extremely passionate about all kinds of animals & living things. I have much experience with pets, as I am the sole owner of a cat and pit bull and have taken care of my dad's two lab/shepherds in the past. I am here to care for your animals as you would (or better, like the fun auntie :)) while you are away from them! I just left my corporate job and am taking a much needed break, so my schedule is very open and flexible, so I will make all the time for your animals at your request. I will walk + play with them to give them some attention while you're away :) I will accept your pet as a part of the family and ensure all their needs are met. At your house, I will play with them, give them some love and, of course, take the doggo's on long walks or around a park if available + they have extra energy.
About: Hi, I’m Ashley! I provide attentive, reliable care for your four-legged family members. Whether your pet needs an afternoon stroll, engaging yard playtime, a gentle drop-in visit, or quiet companionship while you’re away, I ensure they feel safe, engaged, and well cared for. My Background & Experience I’ve shared my home with cats my entire life and currently care for two beloved felines of my own. Two of my family's cats were diabetic, giving me hands-on experience administering feline insulin. I understand subtle body language, strict feeding schedules, and how to help reserved pets feel at ease. When it comes to dogs, meeting neighborhood pups while out on my daily delivery routes is always the highlight of my day—I always keep treats on hand to make fast friends! My hands-on dog experience includes: Playful walks & companionship: Great with friendly, moderately active dogs who enjoy neighborhood strolls, interactive playtime (fetch or gentle tug), and backyard sniff sessions. Senior dog fostering: Fostered an older pup through the Humane Society, providing patient, medication-aware care suited to a relaxed pace. Sitting for friends & neighbors: Experienced handling reliable feeding routines, potty breaks, and check-ins. Midday flexibility: Operating as an independent courier allows me to easily accommodate midday walk breaks and playtime drop-ins during prime work hours. What You Can Expect Safety & Respect: I always confirm dietary restrictions before offering treats and adhere strictly to your leash, feeding, and house rules. Clear Communication: Photo and status updates with every visit so you know your pet is happy and secure. Grounded, Caring Energy: Attentive company for friendly dogs and a gentle, quiet presence for cats. I’d love to schedule a meet-and-greet to see if we’re a great match! I am an independent contractor and online student, which means I don't work a rigid 9-to-5 desk job. My schedule allows me to quickly adjust to your pet’s routine—whether you need regular mid-day potty breaks while you're at work, evening visits, or flexible weekend care. I focus solely on drop-in visits and walks at your home, keeping stress low for your pets. I respect your home's security, follow your exact feeding and care instructions, and practice careful door awareness so indoor cats and pups never slip out. Your pet receives my undivided care and attention.
About: In my opinion, animals are the best thing in the world! Especially when they become pets. I am a nurse at Johns Hopkins Hospital, but I have always had other passions. One passion would definitely be my love for animals and nature! When I am not at the hospital I would love to get to know you and your family pet! I love all animals so much ... I got allergy weekly/biweekly shots (2 in each arm) to prove it!! I am super interested in caring for your family pet and making them feel like you never left home! I am interested in walking, sitting, home visits and boarding animals. I grew up with dogs, cats, cows, chickens, pigs, rabbits, hamsters, hermit crabs, etc! I am skilled at taking care of many different animals. I currently own a dachshund and a Bichon poo. My dogs are my world!! If you want someone who will treat your pet like family I am your girl! I work night shift so I am available most days and some night to help out when needed! Feel free to contact me!

I also have an internship I’m working at during the week, so my schedule will be changing soon when that ends, I will have much more availability. Right now, Mondays and Thursdays I am completely available! In the evenings and nights as well as mornings before 9am I am also available every day. I will feed, walk, and play with your dog or cat depending on what activities they enjoy. I like to take long walks and I don't mind taking animals with me for a ride or to the park. I will follow instructions exactly. I will give snuggles, baths, and clean up messes as well if needed.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a kid, and I have experience with taking care of many different breeds, young and old. I love animals and will do everything I can to make yours comfortable and happy. Work is currently slow, so I have the time to give your pets all the attention they need. I am available anytime throughout the week and most weekends. I have two friendly dogs that would love to keep yours company. I do not have a fenced yard, but walk them on my private lane often, and take them to the dog park. My pets get fed twice a day, but I can feed yours as often as you’d like - they also have some treat throughout the day.
“We are so incredibly grateful for the care Kathryn provides our babies. She is punctual and reliable and enables us to go to work without stressing over how our babies are doing at home. The pictures are like the cherry on top! 🥰”

“Ellen is a phenomenal sitter. Athena has stayed with her twice and there are always other pups for her to play with and so much space. Ellen has no issue at all maintaining multiple dogs! Athena is always so happy at drop off and pickup, and needs a big nap after her stay from all the fun! We look forward to booking again!!”
“I have never used a sitter before for my dog. Sarah was Awesome. She totally put my mind at ease, kept me updated daily with pictures, and even spoke directly at one point. My dog had such a good time, I think she was a little sad to come home...LOL Sarah's home is totally dog friendly, and very clean. She has a beautiful fenced in back yard, but till took the time to walk around the neighborhood with my girl. I was totally Blessed to get her, and look forward to traveling in the future now. Highly recommend...!”
“Tyson was well taken care of while we were on vacation for a week. Renee sent me photos everyday showing how spoiled he was getting! He had an amazing time and was exhausted after I picked him up. Thank you!”
“Emily was fantastic! She took the best care of Maya and Millie while we were on vacation. I told her upon meeting that I didn't need daily updates or photos, but to contact me if any issues came up. She gave perfect feedback, and I felt very confident that my dogs were having the best time on her expansive property. I would definitely book Emily again and I highly recommend her!”

“Terri was absolutely wonderful. She let us do a meet & greet before leaving my pups which really gave me peace of mind. She had a nice & clean environment. Daily reassurance of how they have been doing along with a ton of pictures and to top it of she was so kind to gift them some new toys to keep!”

“Dorian did a great job taking care of my fur baby. My dog is an older dachshund who is still energetic so I worry about him with sitters, but Dorian put my mind at ease by communicating with me well. From what I was told Obi had a great time playing with kids and taking lots of breaks that may or may not have included some mud baths lol. Thank you Dorian.”
“Our 1.5yr old puppy, Birdie, was in the very best hands with Melissa during a recent boarding! Melissa is thorough in her intake, noting Birdie's food allergies and current schedule, and is warm and gentle in helping pups acclimate to a new environment. Melissa maintained Birdie's schedule, giving her plenty of outdoor and play time, and administered Birdie's medication, giving us peace of mind to focus on family. We enjoyed the handful of photos Melissa sent along the way and always appreciate her responsive communication. Melissa is deeply professional and the most thorough and warm caretaker and our expectations are always surpassed when Birdie is with Melissa!”
“Mandie was AMAZING! I 110% recommend her for your pet sitting needs! This was our first time leaving our girl Nova for an extended period of time and she made it the most comfortable experience. She sent pictures and videos daily which eased our mind so much! She is very active with the dogs she watches and her own! She worked on commands with my dog and her home was very dog friendly! We couldn’t have picked a better sitter for our dog Nova!”
“Chloe was the perfect choice for our family and dog! Chloe cared for our 1.5 year old sheepdog mix Gary like he was her own. It was his first time leaving him anywhere for so long so we were nervous, especially since we were leaving the country. Chloe shared lots of photos and videos which made us feel even more confident in our choice to use her. Our pup was happy, busy and exhausted- just the way you want a young dog! We will for sure use Chloe again- she was amazing!”
“Nat and Ally and their kids were such a wonderful family and took perfect care of our husky. They understand how to take care of dogs and how to help integrate dogs that are more shy (like our husky). Nat and Ally were also very communicative and always sent updates. I could not recommend a better family for dog sitting!”
“We booked her at the last minute and she was very flexible and helpful! She and her family took really good care of our pup. We loved the photos that she sent us of our dog playing.”
