“Tracy is AMAZING. If I could give more than 5 stars I would in a heartbeat. Bean loves her so much!! Not only does Tracy watch her all day, she takes her on walks, helps with training, snuggles with her etc. I was so worried to send my Bean to daycare generally speaking, but to say we’re lucky to have found Tracy is an understatement!!!”


2. Thomas J.

“Thomas was great. I booked for 4th of July with only a couple days notice and he responded right away. I did a meet and greet the next day. I wasn’t exactly sure when I would be available to pick up my dog that day but he responded to my messages through the app very quickly, and he actually met me in my town so I could pick up my dog. Onyx was super tired after, he definitely had fun!”

10. Brooke M.
“Testimonial for Cookie’s Hounds I cannot recommend Brooke highly enough! From the moment I met them, I felt an instant connection and knew my furry friend would be in great hands. Brooke is not only incredibly professional but also genuinely loves animals, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. During my trip, I received regular updates and adorable photos of my dog, Angel which made my time away so much easier. It was clear that Brooke took the time to engage with Angel, ensuring she was happy, healthy, and well-exercised. They even went above and beyond by sticking to Angel’s routine, which I truly appreciated. When I returned home, Angel was relaxed and content, a testament to the wonderful care he received. I could tell she had formed a bond with Brooke, and I felt grateful knowing he was loved and cared for just like she would be at home. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive dog sitter, look no further than Brooke, I will definitely be booking their services again in the future! Thank you, Brooke, for taking such fantastic care of my fur baby! Warm regards, [Your Name][Your Contact Information][Optional: Your Dog’s Name]”

“Heather was great with my little guy. I was heading to Cooperstown for a few hours and needed a place for him to stay while I was out and about. Heather sent me pictures and updates the few hours she had him. If you’re ever in the area, I highly recommend using Heather to watch your dog!”


12. Leah D.
About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of different dogs. Parents, friends and family have asked me to care for them while they’re gone. My childhood dog was boxer so have a lot of experience with that breed and I have a pit bull terrier of my own. I am currently home full time, so I’ll have a lot of free time to play and care for your fur babies. Considering I have lots of free time having a dog or a couple dogs to care for isn’t a problem for! I love all animals and treat them like my own! I have a partially fenced yard and a long 100+ ft chain that I could clip onto your dogs collar so they can roam around without getting lose/ running away, they will have their own food and water bowls and be taken out as needed. If your dog needs to be in a crate I have two at home that I could use. I also have a pup of my own that your dog can play with.


13. Natasha G.
About: I have a dog named Honey and Coco who get along with all Dogs! Together they are a great team. They are loving, sweet and energetic. They love making friends. Also open to walking your pup alone. I am flexible and available for your pet needs, accept last minute requests! I know your pet is your baby and I promise your pet will be in good hands! I follow instructions and keep owners updated via messaging and photos. I am able to provide care in your home or walking in the neighborhood.

18. Delaney K.
About: I have previously worked in a kennel, I dog sit for friends and family, and I have a very energetic Irish Setter who loves to be active. I work from home. I am around all day and night to cater to your pet's needs! I will be around to let your pet out any time of day. I usually let my pup out about three times a day and the walks span from 0.5 miles to 2 miles. I am typically the groomer for my dogs, so I am responsible for brushing, bathing, drying, and clipping my pups nails.
