About: We are a family of dog lovers! My husband and I both grew up with dogs, and though we don’t have pets currently, our love of dogs keeps us pet sitting and dog walking around our neighborhood. We have 3 young children who absolutely adore dogs, and love taking responsibility in taking care of them when we are pet sitting. We have a lot of snuggles to give your pups, and lots of walks to take them on, too! I am a stay at home mom so our schedule is pretty flexible! We are up early, and outside often. Any timing should be fine for us to work around. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for your fur baby. We can play fetch with your pup, give them lots of snuggles, and plenty of walks!
“Words cannot express how happy we were with the services provided by Seamus. His updates and photos put us at ease that our two cats were being well taken care of. Seamus was attentive and spent quality time with Skittles and Tomasina. When he was concerned about something ( a hairball) Seamus promptly and calmly contacted us. He treated our cats as if they were his own. We will be booking and the cats will be looking forward to their visit from Seamus in the near future.”
“Milo loved Susan! She couldn’t have take care of Milo any better. She was always on time to pick him up, extremely loving with him and always sent us and updated and pictures to let us know how the visit went. We were really happy and grateful for how did she take care of our little one. We love her and we will definitely book her again in the future! Thanks Susan!!”
“Amy took great care of my dog and cat. I can’t explain what a relief it was to find her. My mini dachshund is 16 years old and I don’t like to bring him into new environments or away from his best friend pelé the cat, so it worked out perfectly. I would highly recommend Amy!”

I am free every day of the week for boarding, doggy daycare, and overnight stays. I am available for dog walks every morning, afternoon, and evening as well. There are just sometimes walking limitations during noon. There are no other pets in my apartment currently.

Weekends usually always available. Weekdays I work until about 330pm, off for most holidays. Since my home is already full with my own four dogs, I don’t offer care at my place. Instead, I can care for pets in the comfort of their own home or take for walks when needed.

Currently, over the weekends, I have lots of flexibility and time to care for your dog. During the summer, I have more availability for more long term care. Lots of attention, walks, playtime with our dog Rosie and myself. I have two kids (10 and 13) and my wife in the house who will also shower your dog with love and attention.

I was traveling to Long Island and needed a sitter to attend a wedding because I could not leave my dogs unattended in the hotel room. Karen was amazing! I booked her several months out. She was incredibly responsive and responsible. She initiated check ins as we got closer to the date. She really put my mind at ease that my dogs were in good hands. I could not say enough good things about her. My only complaint is I wish she lived closer to me!
My family and I are so grateful to have connected with Lauren! Having just moved and not knowing anybody in the area to look after our dogs, I was nervous about finding someone to help us out while we were away for a long weekend at the beach. My dogs took to Lauren immediately! She is extremely nice, down to Earth, responsive and reliable. I felt extremely comfortable with her in our home. She sent photos and updates of the pups during her visits as well. Highly recommend and am excited to book her again in the near future!
Katharine was awesome! She came to the rescue when our original plan fell through for someone to drop in and care for our dog while we were out of town for the day. Each drop-in, she was right on time, left thorough notes, and sent us photos. We sincerely appreciated her friendly demeanor and willingness to take on our last-minute request; we're so glad it worked out and we wouldn't hesitate to contact her again. Thank you Katharine!

Lauren is the absolute best! She is always on time, so helpful and accommodating, and always does what we need! I can't thank her enough for her hep with our puppy Charlie. He gets great exercise, is well fed and played with, and I am so happy we chose her!
Elaina has been taking care of Max and Coco 4 days a week for several months now and they both just adore her! I have found Elaina to be loving and attentive with both, even getting Max to take his medicine even though he is a pretty stubborn little man! Elaina has been great about communicating with me after each visit and has been super flexible in terms of our schedule. Simply put, you will not find a better friend and care giver for your pet! Thanks Elaina!!
