“Duane and Lauren were wonderful to work with and took great care of our two dogs!!! Their communication was terrific and they were very flexible. We would love to have our dogs stay with them again!!”
“Edith sent many photos and kept me informed from the moment Ollie was dropped off until I picked him up. He was well taken care of and I would definitely ask her to watch him again.”
“Ronalisa is very kind. She has a really nice yard for Spunky and Boss to run around. Very responsive. My dogs enjoyed their staycation with her and her fur babies. Spunky and Boss came home tired and happy. Recommend her 10/10.”
“Our 2 dogs stayed at Sarah's for about a week earlier this month. The stay was great! We got daily updates, including photos and videos. They have a fantastic large fenced in yard where they could safety run and play. They had lots of playtime, but also lots of snuggles and love. They were both clearly enjoying their own vacation at Sarah's while we were gone on ours. It was so refreshing to know they were so well cared for while we were away- we have already rebooked them for our next trip!”
“Stephanie was great! She was easy to work with, took fantastic care of our pup. Our girl wasn't sure she wanted to leave. She sent lots of pictures and provided a fun and active environment. Would highly recommend!”
“Erik and family took great care of Copper. They sent pictures and updates and cared for him like he was a member of the family. I’ll definitely be rebooking with them the next time I need someone to watch Copper.”

“Val and his wife were able to take our dog, Ollie, on very short notice. They were kind, knowledgeable, and took excellent care of our family member while we were gone. They provided frequent updates on how our dog was doing through near-daily texts and photos. If we ever have to leave our dog with a sitter in the future, they will be our first choice.”
“Our dog simba had a great stay with Amanda and her family. We loved getting updates and pictures of how he’s doing. Definitely will be using her again next time we’re away. Thank you!”
“Jessica was wonderful and super friendly. My dog Bell stayed for a few days and we got the cutest picture updates. Her dogs are so well behaved and Bell was so happy she had friends to vacation with. She came home and slept the rest of the night! Would book again and will recommend her to others!”
“Great communication for booking, through their stay, and when we needed to adjust our pick up time. We received pictures of our ladies several times, which brightened our day and helped us feel at ease when we were away. They were very attentive to the different food and medication needs our ladies have. We will definitely use them again for future boarding.”
“Easy pickup and drop off, friendly, updates with pictures of my dog during her 1 week stay with them. They got her to eat her breakfast every morning and play and she's a shy nervous girl!”
“Sofi took incredible care of our girl! She was always responsive and sent us frequent updates where I could see how happy Kiwi was. She is very knowledgeable about pet care and I would trust her with Kiwi anytime! Thank you again for giving so much love to Kiwi!!”
“Cynthia is the best! She clearly loves dogs. We were completely comfortable having her care for our sweet Hazel. You can’t go wrong with her as your dog caregiver!”
“Lucy had a great weekend with Jennifer! She got along great with Oscar. Tick season is pretty bad this year and Jennifer made sure to look over Lucy and keep her tick-free!”
“Excellent host! They send daily pictures and updates. My dogs looked so happy being in their home and backyard. Great communication and very flexible and accommodating.”
“Kaycee and Robert are the best! They took such good care of our little dog, who has never spent time away from us. They took him on walks, played with him, and kept him warm and safe. Our dog loved Tank (their dog) and the kids. He had a blast with this lovely family. They are kind and warm people who took excellent care of our dog. It is evident that they are expert dog owners who have fostered and trained many dogs. We will definitely book them next time we leave town. We highly recommend them!”
“Brandon and Katy are lovely! They were very helpful moving my dog's crate and getting him settled. Sammy had a great time playing and cuddling.”
“We love Margaret & so does our pup, she’s at ease whenever she gets to the house and sees her favorite dog sitter. She’s the only Rover we choose and we couldn’t be happier with her excellent care!”
“I was very nervous to leave my dog Bailey. 1. I had never left her and 2.She had a small issue with her paw just before my vacation. When informing him about the issues and the shedding problem , there were no hesitations on what needs to be done to keep up with the grooming. You should have no worries when you hire this person. The communication, the pictures,the condition of my dogand the level of care were outstanding. I was very lucky to find somebody on short notice and appreciate the sensitivity and kindness. Thank you, Shawn, for all your help and for making Bailey such a happy girl for the days I was gone.”

“We continue to rely on Claire to provide care for our needy cat family when we're away. We are always grateful to be worry-free when it comes to knowing our loved ones are well looked after. After the necessities are performed, medicate, feed, water, and scoop boxes, she still makes time for play and pics!”
“Heather was so great looking after our fur babies! We were gone for a week on a road trip, and the regular updates, including videos of our kitties playing helped me know they were all happy and healthy, and relieved any anxiety I had about being gone for so long. It was really great. Heather was also very on top of the litter boxes and trash, and very thoughtful and considerate. I would absolutely contact her again next time we are out of town.”
“Darby did a fantastic job of watching my girls. She did a great job at following the directions I went over in the meet and greet, provided good updates about her visits, and my cats enjoyed her company (including the nervous one after she warmed up to Darby) during her time watching my cats.”
“Alyssa took great care of Alice! She communicated clearly and thoughtfully, and the place looked great when I came back. It seems that they took a shine to each other, which is awesome. I would definitely hire Alyssa again.”
“We’ve had Jen take care of our two elderly kitties many times now. Whenever she is looking after them, I know they will be taken care of as if we were home! Jen updates me with lots of details and great pictures and goes above and beyond both with the cats’ care and keeping our home tidy! I appreciate Jen so much!”
“We literally could not be happier with the care we got from Vanessa. This was our first extended time away since adopting Finn where a friend or relative (usually his grandma) was not available to cat-sit so we were pretty nervous how all of this would work. Finn is extremely nervous with new people and even with ones he’s met a few times. But Finn absolutely loved Vanessa as her photos and videos easily showed. Within her first visit, she had photos of him rolling over to show his belly - the ultimate sign that he was so comfortable with her. We really appreciated Vanessa’s communication with us during the entire process. There is a 100% chance we will hire her again. Anyone who’s nervous about leaving their separation-anxiety cat alone for a few days should really be confident Vanessa is going to go a long way in making you comfortable.”
“Keely was a wonderful sitter for our cat. Getting the daily report card from Keely while we were away for a long time set my mind at ease and allowed me to relax. She took great pictures, allowing me to see that my kitty was doing just fine without me, and kept me up to date on the few small health concerns my cat has. She also took good care of the plants while I was gone! It was such a relief to have someone so thorough and reliable looking after my girl. I will absolutely book with Keely again!”
“I had a great experience with Carley! She relieved so much of my stress knowing my cat needed medication and is also a professional-level hider. 😂 She did amazing check-ins, kept me updated, and I truly didn’t have a single worry during my trip. Thank you so much, Carley! The only thing to note was that one evening her schedule changed and she needed to come earlier than the timing we originally discussed. It wasn’t a big issue, but it was a little different than expected. Overall, she took wonderful care of my cat, and I really appreciated her help!”
“Blanca was amazing - super reliable and responsive! Our cat is usually grumpy, but Blanca is a natural and the cat LOVED her. Great updates and photos with each visit. Will definitely book again!”
“Kylie was absolutely wonderful with our cats, Georgie and Weezy!! She was punctual, attentive, and kept us updated with photos and messages during her drop-in visits. Georgie really liked her and she tends to be more timid with strangers. We’ll definitely book with Kylie again!”
“Elizabeth was so great and accommodating!! Prompt communication and did a fabulous job with my cat. She provided a peace of mind while I was away.”
About: I’ve had cats in my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been helping care for them since I was 10 years old. From feeding and grooming to playtime and snuggles, caring for cats has always come naturally to me. I’m experienced with administering medications, including pills and topical treatments, and I understand the importance of gentle, stress-free handling. Whether your cat is playful or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home.
“Brittany was absolutely fantastic and such a life saver! I requested to book her somewhat last minute and she was able to come meet us that same day and worked us into her schedule easily. She is super kind and knowledgeable, and even helped me out when I accidentally left our windows open while we were out of town and the temperature dropped unexpectedly. I highly, highly recommend her and will be using her in the future!”
“Kathryn did an amazing job caring for my grumpy old cat, Rumor. He doesn't usually like strangers, but she got him to play with toys and always spent time with him. I felt better knowing that she was checking in on him everyday!”
“Keezieng's assistance was a lifesaver this holiday season. His politeness and kindness when meeting us and our cat Olivia was reassuring and he did a great job of updating us during his visits while we were away. We’re so grateful for the excellent care provided!”
About: I’ve been a cat parent for 8 years and currently have three cats, ages 2 to 12. I’ve cared for cats from as young as 4 months through their senior years and am comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. I also have experience giving oral medications.

“Ben and Kassy were awesome! My dog DouDou was only 8 months old and very nervous and shy and we booked a daycare first to let him get along with them and make new friends. They try their best to help familiarize him with their place, and their dogs. I can tell they love dogs a lot!”
“Tony watched my dogs for a couple days in a row and he was great! He is very communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout the day. Will definitely request services through him again in the future.”
“Julie let me know a new dog would be present at the same time as my dog, and she made sure to attempt to make introduce successful with a 3rd dog. She let me know she was able to keep dogs in separate areas as needed, let dogs have space from each other, and make sure my pup was safe and comfortable.”
About: I have grown up with dogs and have always had one. I know the dedication and time it takes to give dogs the care and attention they need. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets’ care while they were on trips and I have always found it enjoyable and rewarding. I am currently in grad school and so have flexibility for walks and drop ins! If your pup is comfortable with other dogs, I am happy to welcome them here. We have an extra bed and plenty of toys to share! I have evenings and weekends free and work from home during the week, so I have the availability to let pups out for potty and a play break! I have a pup of my own so your dog will always have company. If necessary, I have a crate that your dog can use to keep them safe. I also have plenty of toys to share :)
“Daryl was very pleasant, easy to coordinate with and was flexible with our schedule. She kept us informed throughout the day. Our dog can be challenging but Daryl's experience gave us confidence in having her care for Suki. We were visiting from out of town but would definitely contact Daryl again when in Madison!”
About: Hi! My name is Rona. I grew up on a farm in the Philippines. As a child, my parents always had dogs and cats at home. I’ve experienced taking care of many different types of animals. It was quite challenging but it’s fun! When I came here, we adopted Maggie and Lyka when they were still puppies. Maggie is a 7 years old Pug and Lyka is a 3 years old Boston Terrier. I love them so much! They are both lovable and friendly. Our neighbors and friends have relied on me to groom, walk, feed and bathe their dogs while they were away. My house sits in a shady private area and is surrounded by parks and trails so there will be a lot of running around and play time when your dog is cared for by me. I can do oral medication administration, I have had a senior dog experience and can provide daily exercise for your pups. My schedule is flexible so I can usually take on new dogs at a moment’s notice. I will update you regularly with pictures and videos to give you peace of mind during your time apart. I am working from home so most of my time will be caring for your fur baby. Daycare drop-off no earlier than 6:00 am and pick-up hours anytime in the afternoon. We have a large fenced backyard and our two dogs, Maggie (Pug) and Lyka (Boston Terrier) are very good with all dogs. They love to play and will keep your fur baby company during their stay. The dogs are in and out all day using 9 steps. We have security cameras and limited access to our property.
“Emily made us feel extremely safe leaving our pup, Tyke, with her! She had a basket full of toys ready to show him & her home felt so cozy & welcoming. I could tell our pup felt safe with her right away & wasn’t stressed during drop off or pick up Thank you, Emily!”
About: We will care for your dog like our own! Since our wonderful dog Stella passed we are looking to add more positive dog energy to our home. I am experienced with senior care; giving medications and supporting older dogs. I also have 4 years experience with dog walking and welcome energetic dogs. Both my husband and I work from home and will keep your dog company and make sure all needs are met. We have two children, ages 8 and 10, who have been raised to love and respect dogs and other animals. We only sit dogs from one household at a time so you can rely on individualized, attentive care. We have a fenced backyard and one friendly dog, Izzy. We will be your dog’s home away from home, with lots of exercise, cuddling, and fun.
About: I genuine care and give attention to every dog as if they were my own. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I’m comfortable working with puppies who are still learning routines, including basic training and potty schedules, and I’m also gentle and mindful with senior dogs who may need slower walks, medication reminders, or extra comfort. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away. I currently work only 2 days out of the week, but my schedule is very flexible, and can switch days if need be! Will accommodate I care for pets by making sure they stay comfortable and follow the routine they’re used to. In a client’s home, I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention so pets feel safe while their owner is away. I also keep the home tidy and make sure pets stay on their normal schedule. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean environment with supervised play, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of affection. I always pay close attention to each pet’s needs, personality, and any special instructions from the owner to make sure they feel happy and cared for.
“Wolfy had such a great day with Mary and her family. He can back very happy, and Mary sent several lovely photos of his time. Mary was also flexible with me when my plans changed after booking, which was so appreciated.”
“Mozart had a wonderful time playing with his new friends. We would highly recommend this doggy day care for elderly canine kids. At 13 years old, our Mozart had a wonderful time! Thank you!”
“Manuela was great with our dog and I know our dog loved spending time with her! I was nervous to leave our dog with a new person at first, but Manuela met us beforehand and made sure we were comfortable. I would definitely recommend Manuela to anyone looking for care for their pet! She treats pets as if they were her own!”
“Cynthia’s pupdates are THE BEST! I look forward to her primo photos & pupdates every time. My pup Popsicle gets so excited when she sees Cynthia. Hands-down the most thoughtful, caring pup-sitter that I have encountered. ✨”
“Jackie is a great sitter! She is very communicative, and I appreciated that she introduced Cleo to her dogs one at a time, and in an intentional way (in the yard first). She's clearly knowledgeable about dog behavior and best practices. We'll definitely use her again!”
“AJ (Julie) was so great!! My Rambo and her Duncan played all day each day of his 4 days in her care & AJ sent me the funniest, cutest photos of the two of them. She even takes them to the park! Rambo comes home absolutely exhausted each day which is pretty fantastic!”

I’m patient, caring, and will make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while they’re with me. Currently graduated college a few months ago, so my schedule gives me plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available throughout the week and can be flexible depending on your pet’s routine and needs.

“Our Great Dane loves Ben. He has had great communication with us during all of his walks and has made sure that Bruno has “done his business” in the mornings. He is our favorite walker”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals. Spending time with pets is truly one of my favorite things, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality, whether that means playing with an energetic dog, giving extra attention to a cuddly cat, or providing gentle companionship to a senior pet. I believe pets thrive when they feel loved, comfortable, and understood, so I focus on building trust and creating a positive experience for them while you're away. Being around animals brings me so much joy, and I take pride in making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. You can count on me to provide plenty of affection, attention, and personalized care, along with regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving hands. I am currently a nursing student at UW Madison and have time throughout both the week and weekend to spend time with your pet! Typically earlier or later in the day is best for me but I am able to be flexible. I care for pets by sticking closely to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and at ease — feeding them on schedule, going on walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from their owner. I spend a lot of time giving attention and affection, whether that’s active play for energetic pets or calm companionship for seniors or more relaxed animals. I always try to make them feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. I also send updates so you know how they’re doing and can feel confident they’re in good hands.
“Booked Lacey for my mom and this is her review: I didn’t know what to expect with Roger and Lacey, but my husband was gone and I needed help. The moment she saw Buddy, she immediately made a great connection”
“Elizabeth was great with our dog Cash giving us updates with pictures and giving him nice long walks. Will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her.”
“Tucker would literally try to jump out the kitchen window to get to her for his walk. He loved it so much. Carley was so nice and sweet with Tucker. If we weren't moving across the country I would still want her to walk him”
“Mary was amazing to work with. She was very gracious about our last minute need, and wonderful with our dog Toliver. He really enjoyed their walks, and I felt like he was in great hands. I would book with Mary again in a heartbeat.”
“Lynelle continues to be so wonderful and patient with our puppy! She takes the time to learn our puppy’s preferences (or quirks 😅) and is responsive, caring, and thoughtful. Thank you!”
About: I have done petsitting (cats and dogs) for over 15 years. Usually for animals where I personally know the owners and have spent time with the animal to create a bond/relationship. I want to full disclose with new perspective pets parents: I have a full time, in-office job with the standard business hours, Monday through Friday. If that's not what you are looking for in a house sitter, I understand. If I had a pet of my own, I would ensure all their needs are met. As a petsitter, I would to ensure their animal's life doesn't change or I could make it better in some small way especially since their parent(s) is gone I stay at the animal's home to care for them so their life isn't different than what it usually is for them. Changing their environment can be quite shocking and stressful to them. I try not change their lifestyle too much while the parent is gone
About: I am an Air Force veteran and am currently working towards my Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine. I have 3 super sweet rescue dogs, a flock of chickens, and plan to continue adding to my zoo in the future! I'll be a full time student starting at the beginning of September. I will have some free time during the week, but my most open days will be Friday - Sunday. I'm a huge goofball around animals! They're such sweet, innocent little babies who have such a short time on this planet. They deserve nothing but the best!
About: Hello, my name is Katy and I would love to care for your dog! I just finished a term with AmeriCorps and now work part-time in the service industry. My flexible schedule means I am free to walk or watch your pup! I understand that caring for your dog means understanding their individual needs. Please don't shy away from telling me your dog's specific needs and quirks. I want to make caring for your dog a great experience for both pet andowner. I bring passion and professionalism to this job and absolutely enjoy what I do. I have had dogs all my life and currently have an elderly chihuahua. Because of his health concerns and age, I'm not currently boarding dogs at my home. However, I would love to walk and sit your pups and can assure they will get attentive and safe care.
About: I've been a devoted cat and dog owner for more than 20 years and have cared for pets through every stage of life—from energetic puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats with changing needs. I'm comfortable with large dogs and understand the patience, consistency, and attentiveness they require. What truly sets me apart is my reliability and respect. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets and your home in someone else's care, and I take that responsibility seriously. I'll care for your pets as if they were my own, providing plenty of affection, exercise, and companionship while keeping you updated so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. Because I currently work part-time and complete remote projects, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide walks, potty breaks, playtime, and overnight care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and love getting outside for walks, so caring for pets is something I look forward to—not something I try to squeeze into a busy schedule. I provide care exclusively in my clients' homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and bedtime routines. I believe consistency helps pets feel safe and relaxed while you're away. I do not offer boarding in my home because I have a guardian dog who prefers not to share his space with other dogs. By caring for pets in their own homes, I'm able to give them my full attention while keeping them comfortable in the place they know best. I'll also treat your home with the same care and respect that I would my own. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: With over two years of dedicated experience in professional dog and cat boarding and daycare, I offer reliable, knowledgeable, and compassionate care for your pets. My current role as a veterinary assistant provides me with hands-on medical awareness, safety protocols, and a deep understanding of animal behavior, ensuring your pets are in skilled hands whether they need routine care, special attention, or medication administration. Why Choose My Services: Veterinary Experience: Active background as a vet assistant ensures attentive health monitoring, safe handling, and quick recognition of any stress or medical needs. Proven Track Record: Two years of hands-on experience managing daily care, feeding, exercise, and social schedules for both cats and dogs of various breeds and temperaments. Personalized Care: Customized routines for every pet—from energetic play sessions and walks to quiet, comfortable downtime for senior or anxious animals. Hands-On Experience & Animal Knowledge: Growing up and living around my family's 5-year-old dog has given me a lifelong foundation in canine care and behavior. This personal experience, combined with my professional background, helps me understand the unique personalities, routines, and comfort needs of every dog I care for. Whether your dog needs walks or drop-in visits, your pet will receive attentive, professional, and loving care tailored to their unique routine. I will be available for dog walking and drop in visits Monday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. I will be not available outside of this time unless stated. As a working veterinary assistant, keeping your pet safe, happy, and comfortable is my highest priority. I leverage my clinical training and background in animal care to provide a secure environment tailored to your pet's specific needs. I actively monitor for subtle signs of stress or health issues, utilize low-stress handling techniques, and maintain easy access to local emergency veterinary care. I am fully trained to administer oral and injectable medications correctly and safely. My living space is completely pet-proofed—cleaning supplies, toxic items, and small objects are safely secured. Dogs are kept securely on-leash during all neighborhood walks, avoiding high-risk environments like off-leash dog parks to ensure controlled, stress-free outings.
About: I've helped out at a shelter for a large chunk of my life before I moved for college, taking care of dogs and cats. I have some experience with basic training as well. I'm currently in college so my schedule changes with my classes, and outside of school i'm usually hanging out with my cats but I'd be happy to share that love with your pets as well. I try and keep any pet in my care safe, even if I'm only giving them a walk or checking in on them. I care for any pets just like they are my own.
About: I’m all of my friends and families first choice to watch their pets when they are out of town. I’ve looked after a variety of breeds of dogs and many cats as well. I’ve always had dogs in my life growing up so I’m very familiar with reading their body language and knowing how to care for them. I work full time but have a lot of flexibility to check on your pet throughout the day and have the opportunity to work remote as well I’ve never a met a pet that didn’t like me. I’m very good at reading dogs body langue and knowing what they need. Cats also like me and I’m good at reading their body language as well
About: Hi! My name is Marcela, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with a special place in my heart for both dogs and cats. I have two dogs of my own, Chester and Athena. Chester is my small rescue dog, and I’ve had him since I was 9 years old. I truly grew up with him, and he has been by my side for most of my life. Chester is deaf, and as he’s gotten older, he has also developed anxiety and takes medication to help manage it. Over the years, I’ve learned how important patience, consistency, and understanding an animal’s individual needs can be. I communicate with Chester using hand signals and gentle body language, and caring for him has taught me so much about connecting with animals at every stage of life. Athena is my pit bull, and we love spending time outdoors with our animals. Whether we’re going for walks, playing, or simply enjoying the fresh air, I genuinely love giving animals attention, exercise, and plenty of affection. Athena has also had difficulty getting along with other dogs, so we worked with her through training to help her become more comfortable and learn how to interact appropriately. This has given me firsthand experience with the patience, structure, and careful management that some dogs need when around other animals. I also have hands on experience caring for a cat with significant medical needs. My cat, Fergi, was diagnosed with HCM and eventually developed end stage heart failure. During his illness, I became very familiar with the day to day care that comes with heart failure, including administering medications, monitoring his breathing, appetite, energy, and behavior, and paying close attention to small changes in his condition. Going through that experience also taught me how difficult it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care when they’re sick or have special needs. I know how much worry can come with wondering if they’re okay while you’re away. Because of that, I want to be the kind of person who gives another pet parent that same sense of comfort and reassurance, knowing their pet is being watched over with patience, love, and genuine care. I absolutely love cats, and after recently losing Fergi, I’m not quite ready to bring another cat into my home yet. I would, however, love the opportunity to care for and spend time with other people’s cats. It would be really special to have that connection again while giving your cat the love and attention they deserve. I also take pride in the everyday care I give my own pets, including brushing my dogs’ teeth daily. I’m happy to provide routine care like this when requested, along with walks, playtime, feeding, medication, and plenty of companionship. Whether your pet is young, a senior, anxious, shy, energetic, or needs medication or extra patience, I’ll treat them with the same kindness and attentiveness I give my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone, and my goal is for both you and your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re apart. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! ❤️ I have a flexible schedule since my partner and I run our own microgreens farm. This allows me to work pet care into my schedule and be flexible with walks, drop ins, and stays. I’ll care for your pet(s) based on their individual needs and any instructions you provide—every situation is different, and I’m happy to adapt to what’s best for them.

“Ronalisa is very kind. She has a really nice yard for Spunky and Boss to run around. Very responsive. My dogs enjoyed their staycation with her and her fur babies. Spunky and Boss came home tired and happy. Recommend her 10/10.”
“Our 2 dogs stayed at Sarah's for about a week earlier this month. The stay was great! We got daily updates, including photos and videos. They have a fantastic large fenced in yard where they could safety run and play. They had lots of playtime, but also lots of snuggles and love. They were both clearly enjoying their own vacation at Sarah's while we were gone on ours. It was so refreshing to know they were so well cared for while we were away- we have already rebooked them for our next trip!”
“Stephanie was great! She was easy to work with, took fantastic care of our pup. Our girl wasn't sure she wanted to leave. She sent lots of pictures and provided a fun and active environment. Would highly recommend!”
“My little Westie, Jazzy Girl, loves going to Tony's to play with her friends. Tony's great with her and very flexible about scheduling. She typically spends a few days a week in daycare, and has boarded with him and his sweet Yoshi a number times. I can count on him to keep her safe and happy.”
“Jesse was awesome with Ollie! He gave him lots of snuggles and walks which Ollie loved. Jesse also sent pictures and updates throughout the stay which I appreciated. Highly recommend!”
“Val and his wife were able to take our dog, Ollie, on very short notice. They were kind, knowledgeable, and took excellent care of our family member while we were gone. They provided frequent updates on how our dog was doing through near-daily texts and photos. If we ever have to leave our dog with a sitter in the future, they will be our first choice.”
“Our dog simba had a great stay with Amanda and her family. We loved getting updates and pictures of how he’s doing. Definitely will be using her again next time we’re away. Thank you!”
“Jessica was wonderful and super friendly. My dog Bell stayed for a few days and we got the cutest picture updates. Her dogs are so well behaved and Bell was so happy she had friends to vacation with. She came home and slept the rest of the night! Would book again and will recommend her to others!”
“Easy pickup and drop off, friendly, updates with pictures of my dog during her 1 week stay with them. They got her to eat her breakfast every morning and play and she's a shy nervous girl!”
“This was Baylee's first boarding experience since I adopted her and she seems very happy and healthy. She loves walks and Erika provided multiple daily walks. Baylee's medication and feed requirements were met. I couldn't expect more than a happy dog!”
“Lucy had a great weekend with Jennifer! She got along great with Oscar. Tick season is pretty bad this year and Jennifer made sure to look over Lucy and keep her tick-free!”
“Excellent host! They send daily pictures and updates. My dogs looked so happy being in their home and backyard. Great communication and very flexible and accommodating.”
“Kaycee and Robert are the best! They took such good care of our little dog, who has never spent time away from us. They took him on walks, played with him, and kept him warm and safe. Our dog loved Tank (their dog) and the kids. He had a blast with this lovely family. They are kind and warm people who took excellent care of our dog. It is evident that they are expert dog owners who have fostered and trained many dogs. We will definitely book them next time we leave town. We highly recommend them!”
“Brandon and Katy are lovely! They were very helpful moving my dog's crate and getting him settled. Sammy had a great time playing and cuddling.”
“We love Margaret & so does our pup, she’s at ease whenever she gets to the house and sees her favorite dog sitter. She’s the only Rover we choose and we couldn’t be happier with her excellent care!”
“Christine was amazing with our dog Wally. We loved all of the pictures and updates we got from her. We look forward to taking our dog to her for future pet sitting needs. 100% would recommend her to a friend. She went above and beyond for us!”
“Angelica was fantastic! She took care of our dog with lots of love. Took her out for walks and played with her. Also fed her well and followed our dog diet restriction. Definitely we will contact Angelica again! Angelica fue fantástica! Cuidó muy bien de nuestra perra con mucho cariño. La sacó a caminar y jugó con ella. Fue muy atenta al seguir al pie de la letra el regimen alimenticio que nuestra perra debía tener. Definitivamente, volveremos a contactar a Angelica!”
“I was very nervous to leave my dog Bailey. 1. I had never left her and 2.She had a small issue with her paw just before my vacation. When informing him about the issues and the shedding problem , there were no hesitations on what needs to be done to keep up with the grooming. You should have no worries when you hire this person. The communication, the pictures,the condition of my dogand the level of care were outstanding. I was very lucky to find somebody on short notice and appreciate the sensitivity and kindness. Thank you, Shawn, for all your help and for making Bailey such a happy girl for the days I was gone.”
