“Kristin fit me in on super short notice, and was wonderful when it came to communication. It was amazing to know my skiddish, nervous dog had a safe place to run around and be himself while I was away!”
“Our big boy Simba has had the best time staying with Jordin. She sent us pictures and videos which we really appreciate and he seemed happy to see us when we picked him up but also wagging his tail as he said goodbye. We have found our new favorite place to leave him. Thank you Jordin.”
“Dane watched Beau for an extended 9 day trip we took. He was communicative and sent photos of Beau having fun with other dogs. He was also very flexible with pickup times and allowed us to pick up Beau late.”
“Linda was wonderful and Nuggie was very well taken care of. She took him on frequent walks and provided updates throughout his stay. I would recommend and have my pets stay with her again without hesitation!”
“Dennis and Lynn were awesome dog sitters! My dog felt instantly comfortable with them even though he tends to be anxious in new environments. We got a daily photo or video which really helped me feel at ease knowing how much fun my dog was having. I highly recommend Dennis and Lynn and will definitely be booking them again for future needs!”
“Michelle and Samuel are the absolute best! My dog pit mix, Lazarus had the best time with their personal dog, which are BFF now! They send multiple pictures and videos all through out the day as they would include Laz in the daily walks, hikes, and fetch time, so I always know what he is up to (Helped Moms separation). Absolutely going to recommend Michelle and Samuel to friends and family, if they need a dog sitter. Don’t Think It Gets Better!! ??”
“Sammy got to stay with Maggie for 9 days this time. He’d only stayed with her for 3 days before this big trip. He loves staying with Maggie and gets excited when we pull into her driveway. He’s always so happy to see her and she takes the best care of him. I never worry about him when he’s staying at Maggie’s. She is so great at sending me pictures and messages so I know he’s doing good. Thank you Maggie for taking such good care of my fur baby!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Xiaotong! We left our two dogs with her for the first time and she took incredible care of them. She was very communicative and flexible with some schedule changes in our end and she sent plenty of photos. I can tell her and her family really love taking care of dogs and it was really obvious that our dogs were well loved when they were with her. 10/10 would book again!!”
“David and Betty were perfect!! Excellent communication and they sent lots of pics throughout the stay. Lumen has food allergies and they were super careful with his needs. I really appreciated their attention to detail. Thank you! 🙏🏽 For folks reading the review, rest assured that your pup would be well taken care of and go ahead! 🙂”
“Conrad loves staying with Marisol and Twinkie! We are a repeat boarder. Conrad has separation anxiety from my (consequence of working from home) but he goes right in to Marisol’s lovely home and is welcomed by Twinkie. Conrad spends his days napping, going for walks, napping, playing, and napping! Senior dog life!😉”
“Carmen was absolutely awesome with our pup! She sent wonderful updates with detailed info and pictures/videos and did an especially good job enforcing good potty habits and new commands for our puppy who’s still learning. I’d highly recommend her for any sitting needs, she’s got a repeat customer in us for sure!”
“Kristina took wonderful care of our dog while we were away! Her communication is top notch and she was so accommodating and professional. Our pup returned happy, relaxed, exercised, and even smelling good 😊 We will definitely book with Kristina again!”
“Zeus loves, loves, loves doggie daycare with Ms Sara! Especially now that it is pool time! Yay. Thank you so much, Sara. You're the best. Only downside is he cried all the way up the driveway when we left last time!”
“Jessi was amazing! My dog seemed to have a blast with her and her family. She was very responsive and sent me daily photos and updates of my pup. She was very understanding and flexible when I needed to add an extra day due to an emergency. I am certain that my dog was loved and extremely well taken care of with Jessi. Jessi truly went above and beyond! I will definitely be using her again and I highly recommend her to others.”
“Monica and her daughter were very accommodating while sitting my new puppy on short notice! It was very easy to drop off and pick up my baby Storm. Monica sent photos everyday, which gave me total comfort while I was away for a week. I would highly recommend and will be reaching out again for future boarding. Thank you Monica and family for taking such good care of baby Storm!!”
“Francena’s Doggy Disneyworld is a literal oasis for your small breed dog 🐾💕 They have the perfect set up outside and inside for pups to live their best life!! I think my little Poppy might miss it more than I’d like!”
“Rikke did a fantastic job taking care of our dog, Bogo. We could tell from the daily updates and pictures she sent us that he was well-loved and cared for, and allowed to lounge in comfy, cozy spots like the couch, which he loves to do. Best of all, Rikke and her family took Bogo on multiple walks in the nearby state park, and gave him ample opportunities to chase squirrels alongside their own pup-- another of his favorite past times. Thanks, Rikke, for giving our dog a happy vacation of his own while we were away; we hope to book with you again!”
“They were so kind and flexible with pick up/drop off times due to flight delays. They sent cute pictures and updates every day so I knew my pups were happy and safe. 10/10 will be booking future stays with them!”

“Jodi took such great care of my two cats, one of whom takes some time to get warmed up. I could see with the daily updates Jodi sent me that both my cats were well cared for. The living space was comfortable and warm, with multiple perches for my cats to watch the wildlife outside. I would recommend Jodi if you need someone to watch your fur babies while you are away.”
“Rose has been fantastic with our cats on multiple visits. When we were still working on integrating our new cat that had previously been a stray, she was happy to work with our special set up. She recently watched our cats over Christmas, and did a great job.”
“Kim is attentive, reliable and incredibly responsive. Felt very very comfortable with her from the moment we met and knew Ashe would be in great hands. I'll definitely be requesting your services again next time I'm headed on a trip. Thanks for taking such good care of my stinka, Kim!!”
“Miss Lora was an awesome cat sitter for our two kitties for two whole years. She was attentive to our needs and the needs of our cats, was always on time, and regularly went above and beyond for us. We'd highly recommend her as she has a way with animals, pays attention to detail, and is a great communicator.”
“Sarah is on the ball ready for anything that comes her way. She is reliable and I never have to worry about if she will be there to watch my cat Bailey. My cat loves to have attention when Sarah comes to check on her. If you need a cat sitter I definitely would recommend Sarah to all my cat lady friends.”
“Beautiful Soul❤️. Took such good and kind care of our two babies. Communication was always on point! Loved getting to know Christy and vacation was so much better knowing she was keeping them safe. She interacted daily and even brought new toys for them to try. You must give her a try. Your cats will thank you! Mine did🥰”
“Heather was absolutely fabulous. I was gone for two weeks and she took excellent care of my two indoor cats. She had to coax them out, but by the end of the two weeks she had won them over. She went above and beyond to make sure to pick up a computer that was dropped off and even vacuumed before I came home. Communication was great. I got pictures and updates every day. I will absolutely use her again when I travel. I highly recommend Heather to take care of your fur babies.❤️”
“Cassie was fantastic! She took wonderful care of our cats while we were away and did all the things we asked. She provided great updates and was communicative and supportive throughout the weekend! Highly recommend her!! Will be asking her to watch our cats again!”
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and cats and enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities and energy levels. I’m comfortable with playful, energetic pets as well as those who are more shy, cautious, or need a little extra patience to warm up. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I make it a priority to follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. Whether your dog needs a good walk, some playtime, or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to provide dependable and loving care. I’m also comfortable caring for cats, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and giving them attention while respecting their space. My goal is simple: make sure your pets are safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾
“Thanks to Willa for taking great care of my elderly kitty Jazzy. I’m very happy that she was able to get her all her pills and food to keep her going. There was a lot to do and I appreciated her help so much!”
About: I’ve taken care of all different types of dogs like chihuahuas to pitbulls I’ve watched my sisters dogs over the past years she trust me and i’ve always keep her updated on how her dogs are doing I provide daily photos and videos of her dogs so that she is comfortable and aware of how her doggies are doing I have two dogs of my own and I try my best to keep them happy and active just like I would with any other pets!

“Sara is awesome! Not only is her facility amazing, she is a kind, patient and loving dog watcher. She really took the extra time to make our dog’s stays great, while making us comfortable. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Francena is a loving, caring, and knowledgeable provider! She treats my senior Bichon like her own. She took prompt care of him when he was anxious (which he always is now that he is senior). She kept me posted and was very patient with his senior habits! She really knows dogs with all her experience in showing, breeding, grooming, and vet industries. I'm so happy to have found her!❤️”
About: I specialize is large breeds for walking and boarding, but all dogs are welcome. I have a highly energetic dog who loves to play. Able to pick up with large van that can accommodate several dogs. Large backyard with lots of toys. Excellent neighborhood for walking. Covered patio and indoor sleeping area. Close proximity to off leash dog parks. I am a full-time stay at home dad with one kid in school and the other starting soon. I have an at-home bakery business so I am around a lot. Large fully fenced yard. Walkable neighborhood. Golden aussiedoodle mix will keep them company. High energy and loves to play! I can provide a crate for any further crate training needs.
“Was very pleased with Nathaly and her fur baby, Stella. Appreciated updates of photos and videos that was comforting to know Tobie was doing okay. Was also great to have another German shepherd to play with Tobie. Stella was a bonus in helping Tobie adjust. My Tobie came home tired and ready to sleep. Though Tobie still needs training, Nathaly took time to help Tobie. I would definitely request for Nathaly again. Thank you Nathaly and Stella!!!”
About: I understand that every pup has their own personality, and I enjoy giving them the love, patience, and attention they deserve while you're away. Whether your little companion enjoys short walks to the park, cozy lap time, playtime, or simply a calm and caring presence, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own and believe in providing reliable, loving care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I’m currently retired, so I have all of the time needed to be with your pup. My lifestyle is ideal for pet sitting since I will be with them nearly every minute you’re gone. I live in an apartment that has a dedicated potty space for dogs just a short elevator ride away. There’s a park across the street for short walks. I’ve had dogs for many years and our neighbors are all very dog friendly! They love to say hi as we go in and out to potty and walk.
“Han is outstanding! She was so kind and understanding to my very anxious pup. I was worried about a new babysitter and if he would get along with her doggos and I was more than happy to see him fit right in to the pack! A very calm and safe environment for my little boy, such a great find.”
About: Update: We have adopted 7/7/26 a Shih-tzu 10lb. I raised both a Shih Tzu-Poodle mix and a Tibetan Terrier from puppies into their senior years. They were truly part of our family, and after losing them, I’m not emotionally ready to adopt again. (My daughter got a dog now-7/7/2026) Pet sitting feels like the perfect win-win your pets will be showered with love, attention, and care, while also bringing that special furry companionship back into our home. I’m experienced in daily pet care, including brushing and coat maintenance. Since both of our dogs had coats that matted easily, daily brushing and regular grooming were essential, and I personally maintained and trimmed their coats myself. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve pet sat for friends and family during vacations, often caring for their pets for weeks at a time. I also worked as a nanny for several years, where I regularly cared for a German Shepherd who became one of my favorites. We took daily walks to the park, and I helped maintain his coat, especially during shedding season. My love for animals began growing up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats, and frequent litters of puppies and kittens. Being able to witness and help care for animals from such a young age gave me a deep appreciation for them and taught me patience, attentiveness, and compassion. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will always care for them as if they were part of my own family. My schedule is very flexible, I work from home in the evenings, the timing is perfect for winding down, they can relax in my office while I work or in our living room or room. In my home: Safety is my top priority. I have a large, fully fenced backyard, that connect directly to our lower living area allowing for secure and easy access for potty breaks. For variety i can take them around our neighborhood for walks and can utilize a large park at a nearby school for additional play time. Pet not good on walks, NO PROBLEM: Having owned a Tibetan Terrier who was incredibly loving with family and children, but reactive to other dogs on walks I deeply understand that every dog is different. If a pet is anxious or not good on walks, we can stay withing our private back yard. In the clients home: I follow the owners established routines and instructions to keep the pet safe and comfortable in their familiar environment, including tailored neighborhood walks.
“Judith and family were great! I had a wedding in the area and needed someone to watch my dog for a couple hours and Judith to the rescue. She was fine with last minute plans. Her home was super pet friendly and my pooch made himself at home. He was happy and tired from playing when I picked him up! Would absolutely use again when I visit my friends in the area!”
“Polly looks forward to every visit with Marisol and Milo, and literally runs from the car to their front door! I feel so grateful she has such a special bond with them and has SO MUCH FUN every time! Thank you Marisol and Milo for making her feel so special and loved! I highly recommend Marisol for overnight stays and day care play dates!”
“Anthony has been so wonderful to work with for our fur baby! He is very caring and lets us k is how her day went as well as how she ate etc. We love the pictures of her playing with his pups and napping and the best endorsement was how excited she was next time we took her. My husband said she could hardly wait to get through the door! Thank you, Anthony! 🐾”
About: I’ve spent my entire life with dogs—from childhood through today. I’m the devoted parent of two spoiled, deeply loved Chinese Crested dogs. I have experience working with different breeds, personalities and individual needs, including senior dogs. I have a flexible work schedule, and will have plenty of time to care for, play with and walk your dogs while they’re in my care. BOARDING In my world, dogs are family, not pets. Your furry family member will get the same love, attention, and yes, spoiling, that my own dogs enjoy every single day. They are welcome to sleep in the bed, on the couch or in any place that gives them comfort. I have a fully fenced yard that they can enjoy as well. I’ll follow your specialized instructions for feeding and other routines. You can expect to receive photos and updates while they’re with me. DOG WALKING I offer flexible dog walking services tailored to your pup’s needs—whether it’s a quick potty break, a leisurely stroll or an adventure. I will make sure they get the exercise, fresh air and attention they deserve while staying safe. DROP IN VISITS I’m able to handle feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care while keeping your pup happy and comfortable at home. You’ll get photo updates with each visit for peace of mind.
“Gaby responds very quickly and always kept me updated about Chestnut. She was flexible with my schedule and took great care of him with a lot of patience and attention. I really appreciate her help and will definitely ask her to sit for Chestnut again in the future!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies for over 12 years. It started when I was young, helping family and friends with their pets, and naturally grew into fostering both puppies and adult dogs. Today, I live with a ragdoll cat, two mini schnauzer doggies, and regularly foster dogs. My 2 senior cats that I grew up with currently live with my mom. Every dog or puppy I foster and have in my home learns routines and tricks based on their needs. I’ve helped with leash training, crate and potty training, managing toy reactivity, and teaching commands like sit, shake, and touch. My pets get plenty of playtime, structure, and love and yours will too. I’m careful with pet introductions and always prioritize comfort and safety. I understand every animal is different and will listen closely to your concerns to provide personalized care. I also love sending regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and loved. I also have pet insurance. I work from home, and I am pretty flexible on ensuring the care needed for your pet. I have a lot of time to spoil your pets! I have a fully fenced yard, and monitor pets when they are outside. I introduce pets slowly with positive association and ensure each pet is comfortable. I also have a fence to separate pets indoors if needed. I typically have between 1-5 additional pups in my home. Many are repeat clients, so many of the pups I board/daycare for will see their same friends every now and then! We keep a small crew in our home to ensure each pup has the dedicated attention and care they need. When caring for friends/family's pets, I always ensure pets do not bolt out the door both when coming inside and leaving. When walking a pup, I always ensure their harness/collar is on correctly and have high reward treats/toys to ensure focus stays on me if there are distractions. I never overwhelm an animal and understand they take time to warm up, especially when it is my first time meeting them.
“Ricardo is Onyx’s favorite friend. They have three other dogs that are so well behaved and t they play with Onyx. They even play ball with him and even gave onyx’s favorite ball. He even plays with the ball at my home every day. I will recommend them so many times.”
“Nich was great! Super friendly, took great care of my pup. Video and text updates. Not afraid to ask questions as needed. I would definitely trust Nich again to watch my little monster 🐶. 😊”
“We couldn't be happier with our experience! Our senior Boxer, Kimber, has anxiety, so we're always a little nervous trying new daycares — but Sean and Stephanie put us completely at ease. She came home with no drooling and no signs of being overstimulated, which tells us they really understood how to read her and give her exactly what she needed. Kimber got to socialize with other dogs but also had quiet time to herself when she needed a break — that balance made all the difference for her. You can tell Sean and Stephanie genuinely love dogs, and safety is clearly their top priority. The facility itself is clean and spacious too. Kimber had the best day, and we'll absolutely be back! Highly recommend!”
“Michelle and Samuel were so wonderful with our dogs! I can’t say enough positive things about our experience. This was the first time leaving our dogs with someone at their home so I was nervous but Michelle and Samuel were receptive to our questions and instructions. They communicated frequently with us and sent us lots of pictures and videos. Our dogs were so happy and tired when they came home. I never thought I could find people I trusted with my dogs but now I have. We will be using them again!”

She was flexible with her time and didn't mind walking in the rain. She was great to work with and the dogs really enjoyed their time together. We will work with her again.”
“Emily has been walking my dog Django for only three days and he’s a different dog. Myself and two other professionals have tried with no success to get him to loose leash walk for three years. Emily pulled it off in 3 days!!! lol! I come home in the evening and he’s calmer and so much happier. Emily is kind, caring, and clearly enthusiastic about her work. So grateful to have found her!!”

About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with real, hands-on experience — I’ve had my dog for 10 years and I care for my two cats daily. I’m attentive, responsible, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday routine. I take care of my two cats and my dog daily, from feeding and cleaning to giving them attention, playtime, and exercise. Because caring for animals is something I’m used to and genuinely enjoy, adding pet sitting into my schedule fits smoothly and feels like an extension of what I already do. At home, I take care of my pets by keeping them on a consistent routine—feeding them on time, cleaning their spaces, giving them playtime, exercise, and lots of attention. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved every day.

“Kristin fit me in on super short notice, and was wonderful when it came to communication. It was amazing to know my skiddish, nervous dog had a safe place to run around and be himself while I was away!”
“Our big boy Simba has had the best time staying with Jordin. She sent us pictures and videos which we really appreciate and he seemed happy to see us when we picked him up but also wagging his tail as he said goodbye. We have found our new favorite place to leave him. Thank you Jordin.”
“Dane watched Beau for an extended 9 day trip we took. He was communicative and sent photos of Beau having fun with other dogs. He was also very flexible with pickup times and allowed us to pick up Beau late.”
“Dennis and Lynn were awesome dog sitters! My dog felt instantly comfortable with them even though he tends to be anxious in new environments. We got a daily photo or video which really helped me feel at ease knowing how much fun my dog was having. I highly recommend Dennis and Lynn and will definitely be booking them again for future needs!”
“Michelle and Samuel are the absolute best! My dog pit mix, Lazarus had the best time with their personal dog, which are BFF now! They send multiple pictures and videos all through out the day as they would include Laz in the daily walks, hikes, and fetch time, so I always know what he is up to (Helped Moms separation). Absolutely going to recommend Michelle and Samuel to friends and family, if they need a dog sitter. Don’t Think It Gets Better!! ??”
“I can’t say enough good things about Xiaotong! We left our two dogs with her for the first time and she took incredible care of them. She was very communicative and flexible with some schedule changes in our end and she sent plenty of photos. I can tell her and her family really love taking care of dogs and it was really obvious that our dogs were well loved when they were with her. 10/10 would book again!!”
“Zeus loves, loves, loves doggie daycare with Ms Sara! Especially now that it is pool time! Yay. Thank you so much, Sara. You're the best. Only downside is he cried all the way up the driveway when we left last time!”
“Jessi was amazing! My dog seemed to have a blast with her and her family. She was very responsive and sent me daily photos and updates of my pup. She was very understanding and flexible when I needed to add an extra day due to an emergency. I am certain that my dog was loved and extremely well taken care of with Jessi. Jessi truly went above and beyond! I will definitely be using her again and I highly recommend her to others.”
“Monica and her daughter were very accommodating while sitting my new puppy on short notice! It was very easy to drop off and pick up my baby Storm. Monica sent photos everyday, which gave me total comfort while I was away for a week. I would highly recommend and will be reaching out again for future boarding. Thank you Monica and family for taking such good care of baby Storm!!”
“They were so kind and flexible with pick up/drop off times due to flight delays. They sent cute pictures and updates every day so I knew my pups were happy and safe. 10/10 will be booking future stays with them!”
“Jen was an amazing help! I needed very short notice boarding for my dog and she replied quickly and saved the day. Took really good care of my dog while I was out of town for the weekend and even provided pictures and text updates! Communication was easy and she responds quickly. I will certainly be boarding my dog with her again!”
“I’m so glad to have left Teddy at Kathy’s care. From the initial meeting, I knew Teddy would be in good hands. Kathy is very thorough. She asked questions, made sure Teddy would be comfortable, and she really put my mind at ease while I was away. The updates were comforting and Teddy came home tired and happy. I will definitely book again and I highly recommend Kathy to anyone who’s looking to leave your fur baby in great hands.”
“Our dog always has the best time with Lance! Toffee comes home so happy everytime! He looks like he’s pupped out after playing with all the dogs and enjoying his stay! Highly recommend Lance!”
“Joshua’s home is a haven for our older but energetic, dog-selective girl, Penny. I can tell she feels so loved and snuggled, and I feel confident and secure that she is safe and has space from other doggos. Joshua also takes the best pictures of her! Truly a great experience, both for doggy parents and for the pup!”
“Judith was wonderful! Took great care of my dog, and when I picked him up he looked very happy. He came home tired- a sign of a successful vacation at the dogsitter’s!”
“I could not have chosen a better sitter for Cezar,, when he decided not to eat his own food, she provided to share her own dogs food, which he seems to like it ,since he is a picky eater. I could not thank Marla and her family,they took care of him better than I could. Thank you”
