Yajaira was amazing! I was so nervous about using the app let alone leaving my dog with someone other than family. This was my first time and everything went perfect. I did a meet and greet prior to the stay where I met with Yajaira and her small dog to see how the vibe was with everyone. She was sweet and her and my dog got along well. She sent daily pictures and updates which I was thankful for. She cared for my dog like family. I’m so happy I found someone close to home that I can trust. Thank you so much again.

Erika and her son were excellent with our pups and and kept us updated with pictures and messages the entire stay! They were so accommodating to us as we booked last minute and then we extended the stay an additional 2 nights, one of which was Xmas eve. I HIGHLY recommend and will definitely use Ericka again!

We had a great experience with Kate! Our dog, Sampson, stayed in her home and was very well cared for. Communication was easy and consistent, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands. Sampson is pretty easygoing, but it was clear he was treated with attention and kindness. We will definitely book with them again.

From the first contact, I loved James' response. He first asked about meeting Neo to see if he would be a good match for his family, which gave me peace. He kept in contact by sending us pics and updates during our time away. No regrets! 🙏🏻

About: With have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and breeds. My experience includes daily walks, potty training, feeding, administering basic care, and providing attentive companionship. I am passionate about ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether caring for an energetic puppy, a senior dog, or an independent cat, I provide reliable, patient, and personalized care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I truly believe pets are cherished family members, and I am dedicated to making sure they feel safe, happy, and deeply cared for while their owners are away. Whether I am spending time with a playful puppy, a gentle senior dog, or an independent cat, I provide patient, dependable, and personalized care that reflects each pet’s unique personality and needs. I learned early on how special the human-animal bond can be and how important it is to understand their behaviors, emotions, and individual needs. Every pet I care for is treated as if they were my own, with plenty of affection, attention, kindness, and genuine love. As a nursing student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and loving care for your pets throughout the day. Your pup can enjoy supervised outdoor time in my fully fenced backyard, along with walks, play sessions, and lots of affection. Weekends are especially flexible since I am off from school, making it easy to accommodate boarding, drop-in visits, or extended care. My goal is to ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away. I provide a safe, loving, and stress-free home environment where pets are treated like family. My home features a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play and exercise, along with plenty of indoor space for rest, relaxation, and cuddles. I carefully follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions provided by their owners. Pets are never left unattended outdoors, and I maintain a clean, secure environment to ensure their well-being at all times.

We are so grateful to have found Jill and her family to watch our Charlotte! What a lovely and comforting experience. We met Jill a month before Charlotte stayed with the family, and she was gracious and kind. Gave us a tour of her home and some time for Charlotte to meet her and their family dog Tucker ( a super sweetie). Jill was super flexible about pickup/dropoff, and responds quickly. We very much appreciated all of the pictures she sent to us of Charlotte during her stay (it looks like she rotated between everyone's laps - her favorite thing!). When I picked Charlotte up, she was calm and happy. She got along fine with Tucker which makes us happy for him too, and Jill's daughter's were super sweet with her. It's a comfort to know that Charlotte is being loved when she stays will Jill just as she is when home with us, and now we can go away with peace of mind. Definitely recommend Jill and her lovely family to care for your furry children.

Bruce B and Carolyn did an amazing job taking care of my fur babies, Blizzard-Kareem and Bounty-Killa. I was traveling out of the country and my other Dogsitter cancelled on me at the last minute, so I was so nervous to leave my dogs with just anybody. I read all the positive reviews for Bruce and thought I would give him a try. From the meet and greet, I knew they were the right fit. While I was out of the country, they kept me updated with pictures and what they did everyday. I was so relaxed knowing that they were in good hands. I will definitely use them as a regular sitter.

Danielle and her husband were absolutely amazing while watching our little guy (Jaxson) for a quick getaway this week. We were given constant updates/pictures, and he clearly made himself right at home and was as comfortable as can be. Communication was prompt from the beginning and we were truly at ease while we were away that he was receiving more than adequate care. Jax became quick friends with their pets, and was moping around when we got home because he clearly misses them! Could not recommend enough!

About: I started off rescuing my cats to helping neighborhood strays find a loving home. I know how important our furry friends are which is why I will take care of your pet as if they were my own. I love interacting with them. Spending time with your little ones will make my day. Don’t worry your pets will be in good hands. I am reliable, honest and responsive. I will reply back within 24 hours. Also I have a flexible schedule, if you need me to take care of your pet outside of my schedule something can be arranged. Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile. I’m currently working full time but I’ll make sure to set time aside to care for another pawsome friend when in need! They’re all so adorable! I’m constantly making sure my pets are hydrated, well fed and have unlimited amount of love at all times. Not to mention treats and toys are one of the best ways to their hearts

Saori has been so patient and caring with our Pomsky puppy. Since we work from home, I was concerned he wasn’t socializing enough and of course he has lots of energy. Daycare with Saori will be a big help in our journey together. We got really lucky finding her right from the start.
