“Christine took excellent care of our special needs pup Dexter. We're always a little nervous when he stays with a new boarder for the first time due to his health issues, but she followed our instructions perfectly and kept us updated on how Dexter was doing. She had a few other boarders but still gave Dexter all the attention he needed. Would 100% recommend her and we hope to book her again for our next trip.”
“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!”
“Maci loved spending time with Erin and her godson!! Erin treated Maci just like she would her own dog. Thank you, Erin! We hope to use your services in the future!”
“Andy and his daughter were wonderful with my dog. They walked her as soon as I brought her by, and walked her again right before I picked her up. Sometimes, i can see little things in my dog that know that let me know she was with people that were caring.”
“Evan and Megan are phenomenal. They are extremely kind hearted, loving and made me feel very comfortable. They sent continuous updates. I will definitely recommend them and will be using them in the future.”
“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”
“Laura was fantastic! Our German Shepherd received exceptional care from her. We appreciated the frequent updates that reassured us our pet was doing wonderfully. It's clear Laura genuinely cares. After 8 years of using Rover and trying many sitters, Laura stands out as the best. Thanks again, Laura, for taking great care of our girl!”
“So grateful for Kerstyn to take our Charlie last minute. Our dog got along great with hers! I feel bad my she took such good care of her on walks and lots of snuggles. Will use again!”

“Matthew with family is very accommodating and will entertain your dog for a great price! They went swimming and on long walks. Executed Ozzie’s food plan and supplements no problem. They sleep in the bed with their dogs which my dog liked. I’ll be a return customer if they’ll have us.”
“Bridgid took great care of our dog and was super easy to work with. She was understanding and flexible with a last minute booking, sent periodic pictures and updates, and we were comfortable knowing our dog was getting personal care like she would at home.

We had a bit of a snafu with her food and Katherin went above and beyond to make sure she had the right stuff to get through her stay. She was also very flexible with pick up and drop off which made everything with Wrigley’s stay super easy! Will definitely be re-booking for any future Wrigley needs!”
“I was nervous about leaving Bobby because he's a rescue that has separation anxiety and gets overwhelmed by new dogs and places. I went away for 4 days to the West Coast and got lots of updates. So many updates that I barely had time to wonder how Bobby was doing and the next one would show up. Walks, play time, tv time, sleep time. So many beautiful photos and video! I know he was well cared for AND having a great time. I came back to a very happy dog and I know that he is a happier more secure dog for having stayed with Supon. Supon is very attentive and I would happily leave Bobby with him again.”

“Mya was amazing in taking care of my cat Klaus. She was super responsive, spent extra time with him and he seemed to love her company. I could see that she was genuinely bonding with my cat. Her notes and pictures were always super detailed and I felt like someone very responsible was cat sitting for me while I was away. My apartment was left clean and Mya followed my instructions. Overall a great experience.”
“Amber has been great each time she has cared for Nugget. She’s patient with Nugget’s mini attitude and has even been able to pet her which is rare for someone to do when I’m away. 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.”

“My dog stayed with Lee for daycare just once so far, but we're off to a good start. She has been very communicative and thorough.

From what I have experienced so far, I would definitely recommend Lee and hope to continue hiring her for future dog sitting.”

My experience includes daily walks, feeding, bathing, administering medication, litter box and yard cleanup, and of course, giving plenty of attention and care. Whether your pet needs a calm companion or a bit more hands-on help, I’m comfortable adapting to their needs and routine. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable looking after your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously.

I always take the time to learn each pet’s routine and needs so they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and make sure you receive regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have grown up around animals and have extensive experience with pet care and the adoption process, which has strengthened my passion for providing loving, attentive care. Over the years, I have become a trusted choice for many families because of my dedication, reliability, and commitment to treating every pet as if they were my own. I take pride in ensuring that animals feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am a college student working part-time mostly at night allowing me lots of time during the day to walk and play your pups! I am able to travel to your house and am able to take the pup on a walk or just stay and play for a bit!
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, from energetic younger dogs to elderly dogs who need extra patience and attention. I have cared for my own dog, which has taught me how important it is to be responsible, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I have also helped care for my neighbors’ dogs, including both senior dogs and younger dogs, by making sure they are fed, walked, comfortable, and given plenty of love and attention. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, and I always do my best to make pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but the rest of the week I am usually at home working or studying remotely. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I am also especially available on weekends, which is a great option for pet parents who need to board their dog at my apartment. I live in a pet-friendly one-bedroom apartment where pets can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I make sure to follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I also give pets plenty of attention, love, and a calm environment so they feel at home. My apartment is in a great area with plenty of parks and trails nearby, making it easy to take dogs on walks, get fresh air, and enjoy outdoor time. I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while they are staying with me.
“Sarah came by on short notice and was great with Benji, taking lots of pictures and giving him a longer walk than I probably would have. Huge help while we're adjusting to the new city.”
“Hannah was great getting Logan moving in the middle of the day while I was at work. She's super responsive and was a huge help to me in my first week back in the office.”
About: I have a pet Russian tortoise who requires special care and delicate handling that's more involved than, say, walking and feeding a dog or taking care of a cat. I have a pretty flexible schedule both this summer and into the fall. Pet care can easily be scheduled around my summer job and college classes. I make sure pets, my own and others that I've been responsible for, get plenty of attention. I don't leave them until all their needs have been met
“Love Anne!!! She is always so understanding and constantly helps us when we are in a bind. Amazing dog walker and is so understanding of changes in plans!”
About: I’ve had many years of experience taking care of various kinds of pets but especially dogs and cats. i’m aware of the how important exercise, care and just love can be!

Pet care is the perfect fit to my schedule as well as satisfying my passion to help and take care of pets! I can abide by any guidelines and or rules set by the pet owner.
