We would be thrilled to have her take care of Finn the next time we travel!”

I appreciate the bond she’s established and how she keeps in contact with me. Amber will even do extra tasks like clean the litter area even though I forgot to ask that when we first established the details of care. Amber is and will continue to be my first call when I need someone to care for my fur baby.”
“Kaitlyn did a great job with my kitties again! She sent great updates and pictures and I can tell she gave them plenty of attention because they barely even registered that I was back. Thanks Kaitlyn!”

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!”

About: I have taken care of dogs of usually small size since I was child . I trained my dogs properly and we have an all kind of dog toys and treats. Mostly I work from home and i have a 1.5 years old 10 pounds mini poodle . We can take care of the 1 dog with our Poppy. I live an apartment next to a park. Depending on your pet , we would like to offer short or long walks, play time and treats.
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 live in an apartment building, so I can't safely accommodate large dogs that are reactive to people or other dogs, since it's not possible to completely avoid encounters in shared spaces.** 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.
“HK, Thank you for taking such good care of our pup Bodhi! We can see how much you care about him and look after his comfort when he comes over for daycare. Bodhi really loves you too and we feel very grateful to have found such a kind and loving second home for him.”
“Guy helped us out when we needed a Doggie Day Care while we were visiting Arlington National Cemetery for an interment. We didn't know how long the 3 ceremonies would take, and he told us that he would help us for whatever we needed. With all that was going on for us, he offered comfort in taking care of our beloved Toby.”
About: I live in the city and work for myself, so my hours are flexible! I absolutely love training dogs and puppies, as well as taking care of each animal as if it was my own! I fostered a few puppies, including very aggressive ones, and then happened to adopt the last one I fostered- my pup, Rosie! Rosie doesn’t live with me on the days I have available for pet sitting. I’m very good with reactive and anxious dogs as those are mainly the ones I’ve fostered. Also, I’m confident in high stress scenarios, including reactivity, health issue scares, or sudden crisis situations. I work from home as a business owner, managing my own hours. It’s easy for me to do a last-minute bookings or plan in advance. I treat all animals as if they’re my own, meaning, I feed and walk them at their proper hours, consider their feelings, and respect the wishes of their owners!
“Chang was wonderful in watching Mia, who immediately seemed at ease with her. Chang was able to get her to relax and eat some of her food and also treated Mia to a pup smoothie bowl that she enjoyed. We also appreciated Chang's prompt responses to our messages and all the pictures and updates she shared. We're glad we found Chang on short notice.”
“Donna was wonderful, as always! She's warm, caring, and great with our dog. We also appreciated her clear communication and the regular updates she sent about how our dog was doing!”
“Haley was a real lifesaver for us. We had a very last-minute request due to an emergency and needed someone we could trust with our senior dog, and Haley agreed to watch him without hesitation. She took great care of him and gave us real peace of mind during a stressful situation. She was also very flexible with our pickup time, which we really appreciated. We’re incredibly grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Alexis & Katie were amazing hosts to our pup! He can be nervous when left with new people, but by the end of the day he was curled up on their laps. They were so nice and accommodating - would certainly book again!”

“If my pug Mimi could leave a review herself for Haoran (Selina), it would probably go something like this: “I had such a lovely walk! Since I’m older now, I really appreciate someone patient, gentle, and happy to go at my pace. She took wonderful care of me and sent my mama adorable photos. I came home with extra treats and lots of tail wags. Her calm, sweet demeanor made me feel comfortable. My mama says she’s thoughtful, communicative, and clearly cares about every dog she meets. Can’t wait for my next adventure with her!””
