“Christine has a fun, safe, and loving space for the dogs in her care. She limits the dogs she’s boarding, sends pictures, and gives feedback on how your pup is doing. Would definitely recommend Christine’s boarding services.”

“Matt and Kelly (and their sweet daughter!) took great care of Robbin while I was away! They took her on plenty of walks and runs and I received pictures while I was away which was very much appreciated.”
“Laurie and Rich were so kind and caring for our little Frodo. From their photos, he was clearly comfortable in their home and yard. They kept us updated with his adjustment as it was his first time with them. When they expressed concern when he did not eat his dinner, we assured them that he does skip meals. We were lucky to find them available for our mini vacation. Thank you, Laurie and Richard”

“Noah is the best! He goes above and beyond caring for our dog. We have never left our dog for an extended period of time with anyone other than family but when we couldn't bring our pup with us on a trip- we knew he was in the best hands! I would recommend Noah to anyone! 100/10!”

“Our dog, James, was in great hands with Evan! Very kind and communicative from first message through the visit. James had a great time and came home happy! Looking forward to booking again.”

“Ericka was great! Responsive and very sweet with Simon! Sent photos and was even kind enough to drop him off for me when my travel was very delayed”

“Kristen and Josh were great sitters! Their dog and our dog were not a great match but Kristen was really good about communication and managing the dogs environment during Sammi’s stay. Would highly recommend for others!”

“Nani took such good care of my dog Galileo during my one-week business trip! She is very experienced with dogs, and genuinely love them. She sent me photos of him throughout the day, and he always looked so happy in the photos. Galileo likes to go on long walks with her dog Leon and play in their backyard. I will definitely book Nani again!”

“Alyce and her family were amazing. They were fantastic with updates and we felt so reassured and comforted knowing Teddy was getting all the loves while we were away. Can’t recommend them enough!☺️”

“With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!”

“Kerstyn was wonderful with Rexy, and he had a great time with the other dogs. She sent regular updates and pictures, and took him on his first real run. Will use Kerstyn again!”

“I left my dog Archie with Francise for a couple days and she was great with him! He’s an anxious one and when I went to get him he seemed so happy and comfortable. Francise was great with accommodating me and had great communication while I was away.”

“Aimee went above and beyond with caring for our cat while away. She even saved a baby raccoon, trapped in our trash can! I highly recommend Aimee.”

“Morgan was extremely communicative and went the extra mile to offer doing things that wasn’t required of her! Based on the photos she sent us it seemed like our Charlie was having the time of his life while we were away!”


About: I have taken care of cats my whole life and have fostered multiple cats. I currently have a senior fur baby with medical conditions who requires lots of love and special attention. I’d love to love on your fur baby too!

“Spencer and Julia kept me posted throughout the weekend, provided several pictures, and spent a lot of quality time with my cat. Really appreciate their help and communication, and would recommend them to others.”

If you want a kind, thoughtful, diligent cat-sitter who will pay close attention to your cat and communicate with you consistently throughout the stay, I highly recommend Ameera!”


“Maggie was super responsive about taking care of Shadow. She did an amazing job both meeting her needs and communicating everything to me so I would feel very comfortable that she was in good hands while I was gone!”

“Tara did a great job looking after my cat during Thanksgiving! She made sure my girl got tons of love, provided detailed updates, and was very communicative.”

“We needed someone on short notice and Alexandria responded immediately. She was friendly, easy to communicate with, and made the process stress-free. She was great with our 8-month-old rescue, Poppy, who’s still adjusting and can be reactive on leash. Alexandria was patient and understanding, handling Poppy thoughtfully. We loved the photos and report card after each visit and would definitely book Alexandria again—Poppy would be happy to see her too!”


“Stacy is attentive to details of pet care instructions and communicates clearly with questions & concerns. I always feel confident that my pet is being loved in my absence.”
“This was my second time relying on Guiselle to check in on my cats while I was out of town, and she continues to be great! Based on the cute photos she provides after each visit, both of my cats seem to be big fans. She also went above and beyond this time by returning to my place upon my panicked-request hours after her drop-in visit earlier in the day to clean up a watery mess my pet cam caught one of my cats making - very grateful for patience and helpfulness!”


“Maria was wonderful, and I’m so glad Praline was so comfortable with her! When I came home, Praline wasn’t stressed at all, she was just chilling 😊”

We’re incredibly grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

“Amy saved the day for my chiweenie, Willar and I. Her pup Winston is a such a cute little guy and very mild mannered. Amy took great care of my little senior pup currently on a special diet and needing lots of attention and affection. Amy was also flexible and understanding of my own separation anxiety being away from my furbaby 😄”

“We had a great experience with HK. You can tell when you meet her she is kind and loves animals. She sent a few updates, pictures and videos of Lando having a great time running and playing with other dogs which allowed me to have a good time on my dinner date. I highly recommend HK for all your doggie day care needs”

About: I have always had pets in my life, ranging from small to large dogs. Each one of them has been either adopted or rescued, including my little mutt I own now. They are my favorite companions and I love taking them with me wherever I go. I am also a very active person and I am able to provide your lovely animals all the exercise they need! I have a hybrid work schedule. I work remotely most days though sometimes I have to go into the office. Schedule can be flexible though. I like to give my pets a lot of love and attention but also respect their space. I always communicate with the owner and ask what their pets like and dislike.
About: I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pup like family while you're away. I work from home full-time, so your dog will always have company and lots of cuddles throughout the day. - I only host one client at a time, so you dont have to worry about unfamiliar dogs during their stay. -Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or a slower-paced routine, I’m happy to match their needs. -I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I also have experience with dogs with separation anxiety and food or environmental allergies. 📷 You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. I work from home full-time, which allows me to be flexible and available throughout the day. I can accommodate regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins, and I’m able to adjust my routine to meet your dog’s needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I follow all care instructions, use leashes on walks, and provide a calm, secure environment with regular updates.

“Sarachai takes wonderful care of my Monti (see cute goldendoodle pic!). My dog cries with happiness as we drive up to his house and pulls me to the front door. The family is great about sending pics and letting me know how my dog is doing during the day. I am extremely comfortable with letting Monti stay. I'll continue to be a repeat customer.”

“Amal was a great host for Fozzie. She was communicative throughout the day, sending pictures and updates, and we felt very comfortable with Fozzie in her hands!”

“What a gem Caroline is — great communications and flexibility. Jayda loved her perches and chilling together. Thank you so much Caroline — highly recommended”

“Ms. Kathrine is great! While on work travel I unexpectedly found myself needing a sitter for my girl a few times. After the first day my fur baby was nothing less than excited to spend the day with Kathrine. My baby was well taken care of. I would easily recommend Kathrine for any of her services hands down and plan to use her again in the future!”

“Troy took wonderful care of Eevee and provided updates. She got plenty of cuddles and good walks while in his care. My little bub has separation anxiety so it was great to have someone with her during the day. I will absolutely book with him again if we are in the area!”

About: I love animals and will make sure your pet is happy and has a great time. I will pay close attention attention to your pet, make sure to play with them and take them for a quality walks. I am a refugee from Ukraine, my English is not very good. That’s why I would love to work with animals, and I’m available all day. I understand that your pet is member of your family and will make sure to follow the care instructions provided by you. I have a cat and I understand that some pets may have a different personalities and need different approach.
“Stacy, was great! I had her set up to walk my dog a few times a day while I was out of town. She took such good care of him and was super communicative. There were a few days were the weather way bad so she played inside with him and even cleaned my couch when he got mud on it!!! 5 star service! Will definitely be booking again”
“Simply AMAZING! I was overhearing in my room and she didn’t know I was home. When she came in to pick up my pup for a walk she was patient and made sure he had water in his bowl before the walk so when he comes back he can have water. She goes over and beyond and I am so grateful!”

About: I love all dogs, but I've grown up taking care of primarily large dogs like Pitbulls. My neighbors rely on me very often to take care of their pets when needed. I currently have a very flexible schedule while I am going to college online. I am available during the week and some weekends! Pet care is already built into my daily routine, so please let me know how I can make your day easier by spending some time with your fur baby. During the walks your fur baby is my main focus. I love going for long walks to get some energy out, but short walks are also nice. I walk my sweet dog separately from other fur babies to alleviate the stress of dog introductions.
“Guiselle was absolutely wonderful! She was very kind, patient, and professional from start to finish. She sent great pictures during the walk and kept me updated with clear and consistent communication, which I really appreciated. The routes were well planned, and she made sure my dog got a thorough walk, even exceeding the scheduled time. She also made sure my dog had water for hydration afterward, which meant a lot to me. It was obvious she truly cares about the dogs she works with and takes her role seriously. I felt completely comfortable and confident leaving my dog in her care and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend Guiselle to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”

“Josephine is amazing walking our two doggies! They are a little tricky to deal with and she always takes the best care of them! One of our dog’s used to bark so much at her and now she has really calmed down because Josephine talks to her and pets her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker! :)”

“Dominique had great communication with me about our dog Lincoln. He’s got a positive and professional demeanor. Our dog is a big boy (125 lbs ) and Dominique handled him with ease. Lincoln instantly connected with Dominique, not something he always does with strangers. Dominique most definitely has a way with dogs. His interaction and care was as if Lincoln was his own pet. Dominique’s communication with me was great up to meeting and during the interaction with our boy. Very amicable person. I will use Dominque again.”

“Shivani did an amazing job with our dog! She is very reliable, responded to specific instructions and tips for dealing with our dog on walks, and was very loving to him!”

“Brittany walked my dog Karuna every afternoon during a busy work week for me. She was very communicative and shared details from every walk. I’m grateful for the attention she gave Karuna and Karuna is very thankful for all the belly rubs!”

“We’ve been working with Jennifer for over a month now, and she has been absolutely amazing! She’s incredibly communicative and so flexible with my unpredictable schedule—I can book her a few days in advance, and she always accommodates. Since we just moved from Kansas, my dogs have had a tough time adjusting, especially one who has anxiety, but Jennifer handles them with such care and kindness. Both my girls are so comfortable with her—she’s truly a gem! I can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I’ve taken care of and raise 4 dogs and 1 cat! I miss my family pets since I’ve moved and would love to take care of yours! I work remote so I am able to drop by and let your pet out/ play/ walk your pet as needed! I understand feeling guilty about letting your pet be home alone all day and I’m here to help! I will always be cautious of entering your home and leaving your home to prevent any type of escapes and make sure that they are content before I leave and make sure nothing is in reach to maximum safety!
“Carisa is great with JoJo! She takes note of all the little details, is very generous with all of her pets and was an immediate hit with his cautious personality. We will definitely use her again!”

About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was in high school and even created my own dog walking business during that time! I have my own dog at home that Ive trained to do numerous tricks like to roll over, paw and to dance using what I call gentle parenting. My dog is reactive with other dogs (we’re working on it), which means I have experience with training anxious dogs with keeping their composure with other dogs. I periodically pup sat and walked an elderly dog in the past, so I have experience in that region as well. Im in between jobs right now, so I have a lot of time to spare caring for your pup(s)! I already have a routine of taking my own dog out for walks and potty breaks, so adding another friend to the mix will be all the better! Safety and trust are my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I maintain a calm and secure environment, strictly following your routine and ensuring all doors and gates are double-checked. I treat every home with the utmost respect and every dog as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting your furry best friend and providing them with the care and attention they deserve!
