Personalized care for your dog or cat - Wheat Sheaf
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Wheat Sheaf
“Davina and her family were so good to Arnie I was afraid he may not come home! Very proactive and responsive communication and pictures so you know your fur baby is happy! She even made homemade doggy treats and personalized each dog’s initial! Beyond exemplary!”
“Kerri & Harry was so great with my Shih-Poo. We were looking for someone that would make him feel like home and they knocked it out the park - I could tell he missed them on our drive home. Highly recommend them if you’re looking for a loving and safe place for your fur baby. We will definitely be using them again.”
“We traveled from out of state and needed someone to watch our pup while we were at Sesame Place and having our dog stay with Meghan was so helpful! Very flexible with pickup and drop off and sent lots of pictures of our dog enjoying his time there.”
“I was nervous at 1st to leave Kensi with anyone because we have never left her over night with anyone. But Christine took extremely great care of our pup. Would recommend her also to someone who needs a pet sitter..”
“Kathleen is a fantastic dog sitter. We left our dog Lemon with her and he was loved and cared for like he was at home. He is usually nervous and scared when kenneled but he thrived at Kathleen’s. What a relief- her love for dogs is evident and she welcomed him like he is her own. There is now no worry to go on vacation and how the dog will do. We have peace of mind that he will be well-cared for.”
“Melissa and Dan were great with our 8 month old golden retriever, Ginger. We were completely comfortable after our meeting. Ginger seemed happy and well taken care of. We received daily updates with photos and videos. I plan to leave our dog in their capable hands again and I would recommend them to anyone who wants quality care for their pet.”
“Craig took exceptional care of our dog for an overnight stay. He was incredibly communicative and flexible, and instilled confidence that he was on top of everything and our pup was in good hands. There were also plenty of walks and playtime to keep him busy. Highly recommend using Craig if you’re down the shore.”
“Dawn was amazing it with our pup! She walked her, had a fenced yard, a puppy friend, and obviously a true pet lover. She also provided regular updates and was receptive to her needs. Highly recommend and will book again. Thanks, Dawn!!”
“Incredible people to leave my dog with. They sent pictures of him playing and being outside. They treated my dog like he was theirs. Highly recommend Castillo. Will use again for sure.”
“This was Nala’s third stay with Anwar and she always comes home happy. She loves staying with Anwar. He’s a great sitter and we’ll definitely be using him for Nala again!”
“Traci is an amazing bonus mom to my fur baby. She is very attentive and gives me lots of updates that I appreciate when I'm traveling. She has a big clean house and yard for lots of running fun and tag games with resident pup Chewy. I really recommend Traci as a boarder, my pup adores her and runs into her and every time.”
“Our dog appeared to enjoy a nice stay with Kevin while we were away for 6 days. It was Gus's first time overnight in Kevin's home. He is typically timid and keeps to himself on the first night or two away from home. The pictures Kevin sent to my phone proved me wrong. Our playful dog was himself, playful and snuggly, not long into his stay. He seemed to have a great time running around and giving kisses. He snored quite a bit his first night back home. Meaning he was tired out. Perfect!”
“Chastidy made this a flawless transition from start to finish. Her profile hooked me and after talking made me feel more at ease about leaving my 10 month old puppy with her for an extended stay. When I dropped Melo off, she had the kiddie pool out and my pup got roam around her yard that is fenced in and she slowly introduced the other dogs on site. She confident in what she was doing and when I got to see my wild border collie get to play freely in a yard with other dogs, it was fantastic. She sent me photos and messages to let me know how things were going throughout my trip. Pick up was just as nice, gave him a bath because he had some tummy troubles after his new friend left. He loved his doggie vacation and I’m grateful to have had someone who enjoys dogs take care of him while I was away. I plan on reaching out again if I need someone to watch Melo because it was an awesome experience from myself and my pup!”
“Jennifer was very caring and diligent in taking care of Ava and sent daily updates during Ava’s boarding stay. She was proactive in communicating issues with care and was very responsive. We would come back to Jennifer given an opportunity for future boarding / day care.”
“Vicky and John were great. Our dog Buster fell in love with their dog Jojo, and followed her everywhere. He got lots of exercise and didn't want to leave. We will definitely plan more sleep overs in the future.”
“We had a great experience leaving our dogs with Wanda. When we left them I heard them crying and was a bit concerned about them settling in. When we got home Wanda had texted and let us know they were setting in and sent us photos showing them relaxing. During the week we received multiple photos and updates on how it was going, which put us at ease. When we picked up the dogs they were in excellent health and very happy. We would highly recommend Wanda dog sitting services. Thank you Wanda, for taking such good care of our dogs.”
“Samantha was great. Very attentive to our dog and his needs and provided regular updates. Her dog cocoa was also very sweet. Would recommend to anyone in the area”
“Jia was great with my dogs! She sent daily updates and took good care of Terry and Ella. Jia was kind enough to work with me on early drop off and the dogs felt right at at home at her place. I would definitely come back again.”
“Katie is absolutely amazing, my little guys stayed overnight and she sent lots of photos. She updated me when needed && I felt like they were in great hands. Her yard is amazing and I almost felt bad having to take my pittie back to an apartment, I highly recommend booking with her.”

“Mellony was a perfect cat sitter for our cats while we were away for a week. She took great care of our two cats by feeding them, cleaning up after them, and making sure everything was in order. We originally book one 30-minute visit per day, but Mellony generously offered to come twice a day for 15 minutes each visit so that both cats would get extra attention-without changing any additional fee. We truly appreciate her kindness and dedication. It gave us peace of mind knowing our cats were in such caring and reliable hands. I highly recommend Mellony and would definitely give her 5stat rating for her outstanding service! Thank you Mellony!!”
“Seana did a great job, followed directions wonderfully, and made us feel very comfortable with updates and pictures! We highly recommend her! This was our first time using anyone other than a kennel or relatives, and we would not hesitate in the future.”
“Alexa was so amazing watching our kitties! She sent updates and photos which we really appreciated and did such a good job with our cat who had a cone on. We are so lucky to have found her!”
“Brady is outstanding! Highly recommend! First time using Brady for my diabetic cat. She came twice before the scheduled visits to go over instructions and first watch me give the injection then again to administer the injection. She did great! Followed all instructions while I was away and gave detailed information and pictures during the visit. I did not worry at all since I knew Romeo was well taken care of. I will definitely request Brady again when the need arises. Thank you so much!”
“Michael helped us out on short notice and cared for our 2 elderly cats while we were away for a week. He was very professional, sending photos and communicating both AM and PM each day. It did a lot to assure me that my girls were ok while we were gone. My girls were not very social as this was their first time with a sitter, but they were healthy and happy upon our return.”
“I booked Carly last minute to feed my cat for three days while I in the hospital delivering my first child, and I'm so grateful she was available. She was reliable, communicative, and gave great updates and photos. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat was in good hands during an overwhelming time. I would absolutely book Carly again and highly recommend her.”
“Mykelle did a wonderful job watching our puppy (walking, feeding and administering medication) when we were away for a long weekend. When I first contacted her, she was extremely responsive and we had a meet and greet right away to confirm the dog sitting job. Our puppy Cora really liked her too. I really appreciated all the updates and pictures and excellent communication. Mykelle completely put me at ease as this was the first time that we had been away from our puppy. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”
About: My whole life I have had dogs, from puppies to senior dogs. I know how to cater to all personalities of pets. I have also pet sat for multiple friends and family for both dogs and cats. I enjoy being around animals and taking care of them with whatever they may need. I can pet sit about every other day, weekends as well.I can also do multiple days in a row if need be, I am open to also spending nights with the animals, whatever is needed for you. I am very attentive to my own dogs and will be very attentive to yours as well. I always make sure their needs are met. I make sure they are taken very good care of. I am very patient, especially with senior dogs. I don’t get frustrated easily. I provide love and care to all animals I come in contact with.
“Sarah is wonderful - we couldn’t have asked to have a better person looking after our senior cat. Our cat craves affection and is also on hyperthyroid and seizure meds. Sarah gave her love and attention and made sure she got her meds regularly while also sending us cute photos every check in! 10/10 would recommend to everyone else. We already have another mini-vacation lined up and will go away confidently knowing Sarah is there. Thank you, Sarah! ❤️”
“My kitties are notoriously shy, so Richard didn't see much of them, but he did his level best to entice them out of their hiding places. All requested duties were performed with aplomb - great job!!!”
About: My experience includes feeding, administering medications, monitoring behavior and health, and providing plenty of patience and affection. I understand that every cat has their own personality and boundaries, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable and safe.
“Karren was so attentive and amazing to my cat! She made sure that she was safe and comfortable and provided a safe space for Luna to go too when she was stressed! She also introduced her to kittens which really let me know that I could get another cat if I wanted too.”
“Nicole was so great! She came by, fed our cute kitty, and cared for her as if she was her own! Our cat can be shy with strangers, but she was so sweet to Nicole and we’re so happy with the service!!!! Thank you!”
About: I love all animals and have had pets since I was very young. I have a lot of experience with cats, dogs and birds. I currently have 2 dogs and 2 birds and am also caring for a friend's chicks at the moment. I also do drop-ins for my neighbors dogs to give them potty breaks, play a little and give them some love and of course treats! I treat others homes and pets with the love and respect I do my own. I am available on weekdays, Monday through Friday, when my kids are in school between 9am and 3pm. I can do before 9am if given enough notice. During the summer I am available before 12pm most days and can be available between 12pm and 3pm some days (Varies based on my partners work schedule). Will provide utmost communication and care when entering your home, walking your dogs, and taking care of your fur or feather babies. Happy to do meet and greets to make sure you and your pet feel comfortable. Also happy to provide pictures and In and out times for each visit.
About: I've spent the last 15 years caring for dogs of every size - from tiny lap dogs to larger breeds - while regularly sitting and walking my parents' pups. I know that a Great Dane and a Chihuahua need very different things, and I'm comfortable handling both with confidence and patience. I'm also experienced with cats: when my sister and her family spent 10 days in Italy, I came by twice a day to feed their two cats and keep their litter box clean, so their pets never missed a beat while they were away. For the last 4 years, I've owned Hiro, a Shiba Inu rescue from the SPCA; he's wonderful with other dogs, but is reactive and distrustful of strangers. Through consistent basic and behavioral training, I've learned firsthand how to read stress signals, manage triggers, and build trust with a dog who needs a little extra patience - skills I bring to every pet I care for, reactive or not. Living with Hiro has taught me a level of attentiveness and calm energy that I think any pet parent would want in a walker and drop-in. Whether your pup is a laid-back senior, a bouncy puppy, or has their own quirks and triggers, I'll treat them like family. I'm reliable, communicative, and happy to send photo/status updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Weekends (Fridays-Sundays): Available anytime. Weekdays (Mondays-Thursdays): - Mornings: 06:30 until 07:30 -Evenings: 19:30 until 21:30 Weekends (Fri-Sun) I am usually free all day with the exception of some personal appointments on Fridays. On weekdays (Mon-Thurs), I'm available for early morning visits (06:30-07:30) or evening visits (19:30-21:30) - great for shift workers, healthcare professions, or anyone with early/late schedules! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own - following your routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions closely, and never leaving anything to guesswork. My approach is calm and structured, which comes naturally raising Hiro, my reactive Shiba Inu; I'm well practiced in reading stress signals, giving pets space when they need it, and creating a secure, low-stress environment for animals of all temperaments. I communicate openly and often, with photo and text updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether I'm in your home for a drop-in, or taking them for a walk, I make sure the environment is secure, hazard-free, and set up for your pet to feel relaxed. You can trust that your dog or cat will be safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for.
“James was great during drop-in visits with our two cats! His rover cards were very thorough, and he was easy to communicate with. Even our cat who is shy around strangers felt comfortable and wanted pets from him by the end of his time caring for them. I will definitely rebook with him in the future!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Wheat Sheaf
“Davina is great with my Jack! He goes to her house 3 days a week while I'm at work. He gets so excited when we show up and he runs straight to the door. She is very transparent with his care and she makes sure all his needs are met. Even providing him with a coat when he didn't want to go out in the rain 🥰 I highly recommend Davina for your pet care!”
“I had 2 other pet sitters cancel on me before I found Kathleen. She was a lifesaver. She was willing to watch Gia and Ghira with little notice. She was so easy to communicate with. She sent me multiple pictures during their time at her house. I would highly recommend Kathleen. She was awesome!”
“Castillo was great and very communicative and flexible! Kosby seemed to have enjoyed himself, came home safe in one piece and tired! We ended up having to set up the next day since my work schedule was so unpredictable, so Castillo’s flex to accommodate me was very appreciated! Looking forward to future times for Kosby to stay with Castillo soon!”
“Elaine was great and caring. My pup always feels anxious when she is in a new environment and with new people. Elaine did her best so that Daisy felt good like at home. She took a great care of my dog. I’m very thankful for this experience and would absolutely recommend her!”
“Anwar was very responsive and was able to help with a last minute request! Hank spend the day outside on the farm and met some new doggy friends! He's been snoring in the couch since we got home! Definitely recommend Anwar and I will use him again in the future!”
“I feel super comfortable leaving Gordon with Melissa and Dan. I know he's in good hands as I can tell they are animal lovers, 100%. Thank you so much for inviting my pup into your home <3”
About: I have had fur babies all my life. I love all types of animals. I have had little dogs and great danes and loved and trained them all. Every one is special in their own way.

“Jennyfer took wonderful care of our dog Nina while we were passing through the city. She was extremely responsible and very kind and loving with Nina. We felt at ease knowing Nina was in such good hands. We are truly grateful for her care and attention.”
About: I've been trained as a dog groomer for about a year and a half, so if your dog needs maintenance on its coat I'd be more than happy to help. I've worked with many kinds of dogs from 4 month old puppies to 15 year old seniors. I also have a senior dog, a yellow Labrador, 13 yrs. I'm currently on pursuit for a part time job, so have more time to take care of any animals right now! The only day that doesn't work for me is Sunday or anytime after 6:30 pm on Thursdays and Fridays. I would love to know your pets daily routine, likes and dislikes in order to provide the best service I can for your furry friend.

About: I've worked with animals of all sizes since I was 12 years old. From volunteering on farms and ranches, to caring for small exotic animals and dogs of my own, I love animals of all sorts and enjoy just spending time with them whenever I can. I've spent the better part of my life involved with animals, I've pet sit for a number of families and have even worked on rehabilitating abandoned horses. I am very comfortable working with dogs that have disabilities as well as I have watched dogs that have diabetes, seizures, paralysis, and age related issues and despite the disabilities we still make the stay an enjoyable one. With me, dogs will get plenty of love, play time, and as many walks as they'd like! I currently hold a full time remote job so my flexibility is great for pet sitting! I can do morning, afternoon and/or evening walks, I can accept pet care in my home or travel. I have many options for accommodation. I reside in a safe private community townhome with plenty of walking paths and a fenced in yard. I do prefer to host at my home as it makes remote work easier due to my inability to transport my monitors but am open to house sitting upon request.

About: I have always grown up with dogs in my household since I was born and me and my mom have trained our dogs that we have now together. We also used to foster dogs and take care of them until they found their forever home!

About: My parents never owned a dog, but I have always dreamed of owning one myself. Until that day comes, I love to help take care of others. I have taken care of dogs of all ages from a senior dog to a young puppy. Now that I’ve graduated and started my full-time career, I bring a high level of professional responsibility and structure to my pet care. Starting August 1st, my routine is built around my 9-hour workday, which makes me an ideal match for independent dogs or cats who are well-adjusted to a standard work-week schedule and comfortable napping while their humans are away. During the week, pet care fits into my day as a 'bookend' routine: I provide plenty of exercise, feeding, and mental stimulation before I head to the office, and I dedicate my entire evening to quality time, play, and companionship as soon as I return. This structure works perfectly for house sitting, as I can provide a consistent and reliable presence in your home. On the weekends, my schedule is completely open, which is when I offer dog walking and drop-in visits for those needing extra adventures or check-ins. Whether I am staying overnight during the week or visiting for a weekend walk, you can count on me for a calm, dependable routine and frequent photo updates! I have grown up in a household with 3+ cats. I am a quiet person who has a knack for making animals feel comfortable in my presence. I love when they keep me company as I work. I dabble in pet photography and would love to expand my portfolio!
“Michael is the best dog walker. He takes excellent care of my dogs. He is always going above and beyond. He will bring packages in, take garbage can in, and alert me if he sees something wrong at my house or is concerned about the dogs. He always gives the dogs a treat before he leaves.”
About: Since 2010, I have always owned two dogs at a time. I love animals, love meeting new pets, and have a lot of patience. I would love to get to know your fur baby. 🙂 I am available 4 days/week, including every weekend. I can do walks, feeds, drop ins, play time, whatever your current needs may be. I have a lot of flexibility on my available days. I have a large fenced in yard if your dog likes to run and requires exercise. I also have an XL crate in my home, that my dogs no longer need, but could be used if your pup would prefer an enclosed area for sleeping.

About: Devoted Dog Lover with a Lifetime of Experience About Me: Hello! I’m a lifelong dog enthusiast who’s had the joy of sharing my life with furry friends for as long as I can remember. Recently, I said a heartfelt goodbye to my beloved companion of 18 years, with whom I shared countless adventures and daily walks. This experience has deepened my understanding and compassion for dogs of all ages and needs. My Approach: I believe in treating every dog as if they were my own, offering them the same love, care, and attention that I provided to my own pet. My approach is grounded in patience, understanding, and a keen awareness of each dog’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s energetic playtime, leisurely strolls, or just some cozy cuddle time, I’m here to make sure your dog feels happy, safe, and loved. Experience: Throughout my life, I’ve nurtured and cared for several dogs, each with their own special quirks and requirements. I’m experienced in handling a range of breeds, temperaments, and age groups. My recent 18-year journey with my senior dog has especially equipped me to understand the gentle care and patience needed for older pets. Services Offered: • Daily walks (with a keen sense for your dog’s preferred pace and distance) • Feeding and medication administration, if required • Regular updates and photos to assure you of your pet’s well-being • Lots of love, play, and attention • Experience in caring for senior dogs Closing Note: I’m excited to meet your furry family member and provide them with the same warmth and affection that’s been a cornerstone of my life. Your dog’s happiness and safety will always be my top priority! Pet care is an integral and cherished part of my daily routine. Since I’m retired, I have the flexibility and time to dedicate to the pets I care for. My days are structured around ensuring that the dogs in my care receive all the attention and activity they need. Morning: My day typically starts with a morning walk, which I find is a great way to help the dogs get some fresh air and exercise first thing in the day. It’s also a peaceful time for them to explore and enjoy the quieter hours. Midday: Throughout the day, I ensure they have plenty of playtime, whether it’s in the backyard or inside with toys. I’m always attentive to their need for interaction and mental stimulation. Afternoon: In the afternoon, we usually go for another walk. This is a longer one, where we can explore local parks or walking trails, allowing the dogs to experience new sights and smells. Evening: As the day winds down, I focus on quieter activities like cuddling or gentle play, ensuring the dogs are calm and relaxed. Evening is also the time for dinner and any needed medications. Night: Before bedtime, there’s a short walk or a quick backyard visit, so the dogs are comfortable through the night. Throughout the day, I’m attentive to the dogs’ needs for food, water, and bathroom breaks. I also ensure they have a comfortable and safe space to rest. Being home most of the day allows me to provide constant companionship and supervision, ensuring that the dogs in my care are not just looked after, but also loved and cherished. Caring for pets, whether in my home or in a client’s home, is done with utmost attention to their comfort, safety, and happiness. My approach is tailored to each pet’s individual needs and preferences, ensuring they feel loved and secure in their environment. In My Home: • Safe Environment: I ensure my home is pet-proofed, with no hazards and plenty of cozy, comfortable spots for them to rest. • Routine: I maintain a consistent routine for meals, walks, and playtime, which helps pets feel secure and settled. • Play and Exercise: I provide plenty of playtime and exercise, tailored to the pet’s energy level and health. • Affection: I believe in plenty of cuddles and affection to make them feel at home. • Supervision: Continuous supervision is provided, ensuring their safety at all times. In Clients’ Homes: • Respect for the Home: I am meticulous about respecting the client’s space, ensuring it’s kept clean and secure. • Following Instructions: I strictly adhere to the pet care instructions provided by the client, respecting their routines and rules. • Updates: Regular updates with photos are sent to the client, keeping them connected with their pet’s activities and well-being. • Emergency Preparedness: I am prepared and informed about the pet’s needs and local veterinary services in case of an emergency. Common to Both: • Health Monitoring: I keep a close eye on the pet’s health and behavior, promptly addressing any concerns. • Hydration and Nutrition: Ensuring regular access to fresh water and feeding them as per their dietary requirements. • Medication Administration: If needed, I am experienced in administering medications. My goal is to provide a loving, fun, and safe experience for pets, giving them the care and attention they would receive from their own families.

“Davina and her family were so good to Arnie I was afraid he may not come home! Very proactive and responsive communication and pictures so you know your fur baby is happy! She even made homemade doggy treats and personalized each dog’s initial! Beyond exemplary!”
“We traveled from out of state and needed someone to watch our pup while we were at Sesame Place and having our dog stay with Meghan was so helpful! Very flexible with pickup and drop off and sent lots of pictures of our dog enjoying his time there.”
“I was nervous at 1st to leave Kensi with anyone because we have never left her over night with anyone. But Christine took extremely great care of our pup. Would recommend her also to someone who needs a pet sitter..”
“Kathleen is a fantastic dog sitter. We left our dog Lemon with her and he was loved and cared for like he was at home. He is usually nervous and scared when kenneled but he thrived at Kathleen’s. What a relief- her love for dogs is evident and she welcomed him like he is her own. There is now no worry to go on vacation and how the dog will do. We have peace of mind that he will be well-cared for.”
“Melissa and Dan were great with our 8 month old golden retriever, Ginger. We were completely comfortable after our meeting. Ginger seemed happy and well taken care of. We received daily updates with photos and videos. I plan to leave our dog in their capable hands again and I would recommend them to anyone who wants quality care for their pet.”
“Craig took exceptional care of our dog for an overnight stay. He was incredibly communicative and flexible, and instilled confidence that he was on top of everything and our pup was in good hands. There were also plenty of walks and playtime to keep him busy. Highly recommend using Craig if you’re down the shore.”
“Incredible people to leave my dog with. They sent pictures of him playing and being outside. They treated my dog like he was theirs. Highly recommend Castillo. Will use again for sure.”
“This was Nala’s third stay with Anwar and she always comes home happy. She loves staying with Anwar. He’s a great sitter and we’ll definitely be using him for Nala again!”
“Our dog appeared to enjoy a nice stay with Kevin while we were away for 6 days. It was Gus's first time overnight in Kevin's home. He is typically timid and keeps to himself on the first night or two away from home. The pictures Kevin sent to my phone proved me wrong. Our playful dog was himself, playful and snuggly, not long into his stay. He seemed to have a great time running around and giving kisses. He snored quite a bit his first night back home. Meaning he was tired out. Perfect!”
“Chastidy made this a flawless transition from start to finish. Her profile hooked me and after talking made me feel more at ease about leaving my 10 month old puppy with her for an extended stay. When I dropped Melo off, she had the kiddie pool out and my pup got roam around her yard that is fenced in and she slowly introduced the other dogs on site. She confident in what she was doing and when I got to see my wild border collie get to play freely in a yard with other dogs, it was fantastic. She sent me photos and messages to let me know how things were going throughout my trip. Pick up was just as nice, gave him a bath because he had some tummy troubles after his new friend left. He loved his doggie vacation and I’m grateful to have had someone who enjoys dogs take care of him while I was away. I plan on reaching out again if I need someone to watch Melo because it was an awesome experience from myself and my pup!”
“Jia was great with my dogs! She sent daily updates and took good care of Terry and Ella. Jia was kind enough to work with me on early drop off and the dogs felt right at at home at her place. I would definitely come back again.”
“Katie is absolutely amazing, my little guys stayed overnight and she sent lots of photos. She updated me when needed && I felt like they were in great hands. Her yard is amazing and I almost felt bad having to take my pittie back to an apartment, I highly recommend booking with her.”
“Swapna was great. I boarded my dog with her and had no concerns. She provided updates and photos throughout the stay and was also very accommodating. I will be returning to her when I need to board my dog again in the future.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Ivelisse! She took such amazing care of Omen while I was away. She was kind, patient, and genuinely loved animals. She was so attentive to his needs, gave him lots of love and playtime, and even went out of her way to feed him when he ran out of food, something I truly appreciated. I felt completely at peace knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and caring with pets!”
“Best sitter on Rover! He is quick to respond, and provides plenty of videos and pictures so we could rest assured that our energetic German shepherd was happy and entertained. He’s also very adaptable to schedule changes. Our dog was in great hands, and Iger was great at determining which dogs would get along, and maintained a safe environment for them all. I know our dog can’t wait until we go on vacation again so he can go back and play!”

“We had a great experience with Courtney! She treated Rocky like he was her own. Everything was so easy from our first meeting. Courtney communicated with us the entire time through messages and with photos! We highly recommend her! (We already booked with her again)”
“Cathleen was phenomenal!! She took care of our dog like she was her own! We got daily pictures and updates of our dog snuggling with her family! There was a fenced in yard for Jingle to roam and a family dog for her to pal around with! It is so great that our dog can stay in the house with a family and does not have to be in crate! Highly recommend Cathleen and we will be sending our dog back to her when we go away on our next hockey trip!”
“Katie takes the best care of Honey, our mini golden doodle when we are out of town. She is so caring and responsive, and I know she and sweet Rooney make Honey feel right at home. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving friend to watch your fur baby!”
“What a great experience! We’ve already decided we’ll be using Elias again in the future. Our pup was so relaxed at drop off (which is not common) and came home tired, but calm. From start to finish it was a great experience and I highly recommend!”
