“Our other kennel that we have used for 20 years was booked. One of our friends book her dog with Sara J all the time and has said amazing things about her. So we decided to try Sara. Sara sent pictures to us every single day. In every single picture, our dog was smiling. Our animals are our children. We want them happy while we are gone. At the end of the week we were wondering if Conn was going to want to come home because he was having so much fun. He was well kept and likes Sara. We will book with her again! Thank you Sara. Oh BTW he was tired when he got home and slept the entire evening!”
“Keri was outstanding! From the initial communication to the pickup at the end. She sent pictures almost daily of my two pets as well as regular updates on their status and well-being. Keri truly provided them with a second home while we were out of town. Highly recommended!”
“Marisol is genuinely our favorite sitter that we’ve met! She and Milo have been so incredibly hospitable and welcoming. The amount of relief and excitement I feel knowing that my pup is not only cared for but spoiled and loved is amazing. My pup is excited to get there and when I come to pick her up, she doesn’t want to leave. THAT is the telltale sign of a wonderful human and home! Dolce 🩷’s Milo (and Marisol!)”

We really appreciated her above and beyond care giving to our little one. And Dana has other small dogs so Jewels had other dogs to play with and she loves playing. We would hire Dana again if needed.”

“Our Toby loves Michelle and we love her too! I love getting several pictures and videos of Toby while we're gone, so I can tell he is doing really well.

Toby gets regular walks and lots of snuggles with Michelle, and I love that he doesn't have to be left alone for hours. I truly appreciate Michelle!”

We love having her support for Max for our trips and time away, and he loves having his own little vacations with her and her pups!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Rikke and would highly recommend her. Arnie has the company of her sweet dog Luna and got plenty of cuddles from her kids. I got a picture of Arnie laying next to her son playing video games and he looked totally at home! His stay was over thanksgiving and Rikke even got him and Luna a stuffed turkey toy to celebrate.

“Morgan did really great with my mean Ole kitty cat! She doesnt do well at all with strangers but Morgan was patient and thoughtful which helped her build trust in Morgan and gave my cat time to warm up to her so she could feel safe when she visited. She was also very diligent about following my instructions for care which meant I was able to be fully confident in my cats care while I was out of the country for two weeks for my honeymoon. Very professional and timely and would work with her again.”

About: I have volunteered with multiple animal shelters (including fostering), a big cat sanctuary, and has worked at a veterinary clinic and pet boarding facility. I will be your pet's main caregiver, and have also owned dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, ferrets, frogs, and turtles throughout my life. My partner Marlon loves to walk/run with dogs and has had dogs, and is a chicken lover as well! I am very prepared to handle many situations and pet personalities. I recently cared for our senior dog (18-years-old!) with medical needs, and fostered puppies, so I am very understanding of dog needs. I understand how to make dogs feel safe and part of our family, and will send daily pictures to you so you know they're in good hands. **Have pets that aren't dogs?** I also own a cat, chickens, two turtles, and frogs. I volunteer at a cat rescue and have volunteered at a big cat sanctuary, have had hamsters, ferrets, an iguana, axolotls, fish.... I can handle most animals, just ask! **Notes** - Rates are per 24 hours. There will be an additional late fee of $5.00 for every hour past the agreed time for pick-up, unless you clearly communicate with us about your timeline. - Housesitting includes an overnight stay and care as needed (feeding, walks, and potty breaks) throughout the day. I may need to care for other clients or my own pets, or go into work. If you require constant care (24hrs per day, animal cannot be left alone), this needs to be arranged beforehand and the price will be higher than my regular housesitting rate. I work from home so time for pet care is flexible, I usually have plenty of time for walks or hikes with dogs that are visiting. I have a fenced yard and have the ability to make zones within my home if it's necessary. I try to stick to the typical schedule the animals are used to, to the best of my ability and schedule.
“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! 🐾”
“We were super grateful for Dennis and Lynn. They did a wonderful job taking care of our doggo! Appreciated the pics and video they sent throughout the day. Great communication, highly recommend!”
“Kristina is an amazing furbaby sitter, and we are so grateful for the care and attention she gives to Enzo every time he stays with her. Enzo is a regular with Kristina, which says a lot about the trust and comfort we feel leaving him in her care. She is dependable, kind, and truly treats him like family. We always appreciate the updates, love, and patience she gives him, and it gives us peace of mind knowing he is safe, happy, and well cared for. Enzo always comes home relaxed and happy, and we highly recommend Kristina to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter! 🐾”
“Jacklyn was great! Sent lots of (very cute!) pictures, walked McCoy, and made sure he got along with her own dog. McCoy was always happy to see her (and her dog) when we dropped him off. Jacklyn was also very responsive to us (e.g. when we had to modify our arrival/pick up time) which made our lives very easy.”
“Priscilla was lovely. Super friendly, very accommodating and fast communication. Marlo is sometimes shy/uninterested with new people and she was instantly excited to see Priscilla. I felt extremely comfortable leaving her. Will absolutely be back!”
“When my older Corgi and I were busy for several days, Odalys's daycare was the perfect for my younger Corgi! Easy drop off and pick up, great communication, and Knox came home happy and tired! It was great for him to be able to get out and move during the day and to get a chance to play!”
“Marisol took excellent care of my baby Mochi and he seemed so happy in the pictures. I appreciate her regular updates and photos. I feel he was safe and in good hands. Over all my experience was great and loved the report card and felt like a proud mama. Looking forward to leaving Mochi again.”
“Joyce and her husband were wonderful with our Coco. They know dogs and worked so well with ours. He has a bit of separation anxiety, but Joyce and her dogs took care of that immediately. Loved the large fenced back yard and the fact that her 2 dogs were small so ours wasn’t intimated. Looking forward to working with her again.”
“Always an exceptional experience, and we never have to worry. I wholeheartedly recommend Michelle, Keith, and Lola — such a wonderful family. They’re personable, caring, and genuinely the best.”
“Maria is fantastic! Marky is hesitant when it comes to interacting with people and dogs when I am not with him but Maria showed him there was nothing to fear! They take beautiful walks together, naps with his friends, and gets to play all day in a pack. He comes home tired and happy when the day is done. Maria really loves all of the dogs like her own”
“Kyley and her husband took wonderful care of my puppy! They have a huge, secure yard where the dogs can run and play, and it was clear my puppy had a great time. They are incredibly kind, friendly, and genuinely care about the pets they look after. I felt completely at ease knowing my puppy was in such good hands. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving pet sitters!”
“I'm so glad I found Siyun! My senior boy did 8 days of daycare & was excited for drop-off each am with her. Siyun kept me informed & took great pictures. I would definitely recommend using her to anyone!”

“Noelle was great! She took care of our boy Titan and he had so much fun hanging out with her and her dogs :) she kept him comfy and happy ~ definitely would book again !”

When he was picked up he was very relaxed & happy; so I know he was well taken care of. I will definitely use Paul again.”
“Can’t say enough about Brittany! Besides, I don’t know what we would ever do without her. Thank you for everything and being so dependable and flexible. Please never go anywhere lol”

About: I have owned pets my entire life and miss having them around. Timing is not right for me now to have my own so I am opening my life up to caring for others’ pets. I currently work from my home office which allows me flexibility to care for pets periodically throughout the week. Most weekends are open for me. My apartment complex has a fenced play yard for dogs. I also walk for exercise frequently and would take your dog on walks with me.
“Andrhu is such a wonderful walker for our family, our girls really see him as a friend and playmate. He is so caring and really keeps our girls happiness and safety in the forefront if each visit. We feel such comfort knowing they are safe with him and that they have a great time playing, exploring and getting the daily stimulation we can't always provide when we are working”
About: My name is Samantha! I am teacher and have breaks to help out other dog owners. I have owned dogs my whole life. I am very safe and responsible and am used to managing 30 kids all day, I can definitely handle a couple pups! I will be very respectful of your time and can be flexible to accommodate you and your pup. I love going in walks, and would love to take yours on safe ones as well. I can do drop in visits and overnights as well, thank you!! I am off for the summer so I have lots of time currently! I no longer have pets of my own anymore, so it's even easier for me to make space in my schedule. I have a yard but it is not fully fenced so pets would always be leashed. I no longer have any animals in my home.
