“Eva was so great! She bailed me out in a pinch when I needed a last minute sitter. My toddler of a dog can be a bit of a brat and she took him on with a smile.”

“Sabina and her husband are great and their dog is very sweet. Their house was perfect for our golden retriever. Small fenced backyard gave our dog some outside time and Sabina took her for walks during the day (nice walking neighborhood). This was just what we needed and our dog seemed to enjoy her visit. Sabina even sent us pictures while we were gone.”

“Brittany was AMAZING! Our dog, Bailey was only 18 weeks old and she knew all the right things to do with a puppy. We never worried once about his care. She sent pictures every day of his antics which made us laugh but also convinced us that he was happy and loved. She was in tune with his quirky personality, from his removal of ALL the toys from the toy box before deciding what to play with, to helping with the laundry by stealing the socks, to proudly carrying things around that he “found” . AND Brittany was reasonably priced. We will use her again in a heartbeat. We felt so incredibly blessed to have found her. We can’t thank her enough for making our vacation stress free.”

About: I have grown up with pets since we were little. I walk daily along Pequot and get plenty of miles in! I would love to shower your pets with care. My work days end around 4 so I've got plenty of time to check in on pets and walk them before you get off work and out of traffic. I'm an early riser too, even on weekends I have a big yard and a designated area in the house for pets. We also have plenty of space for pet beds if your pet prefers to sleep on their own bed. I don't have crates but i have a large home that can accommodate most animals

“Mary Jo took great care of millie on our long weekend up north in NY. Millie needed medicine administered during her stay and Mary Jo took good care to be sure she received it. We had forgotten to bring our dogs food and Mary Jo had spare food she graciously provided. Millie is happy and well brushed by her family. Thanks for caring for our Millie! Will use Mary Jo again:) Nice walking neighbor hood , large house, and large unfenced yard:) Great family! Rebecc and Bill”

“Our son was getting married in upstate NY so we needed a sitter for our dog Kai while we were away. We have always left Kai with either family or friends, but since everyone we knew was attending the wedding I reached out to Laura. We set up a meet and greet -I knew from the first time I met her that she was a perfect match. She was warm and kind - obviously a dog lover - and she made a connection with our normally shy dog right away. She asked a lot of questions about Kai's habits - she wanted to make sure she followed his normal daily routine so that he would be comfortable in her home.. Her house is beautiful and she has a large, fenced in back yard that allowed Kai to run free in a safe environment. Laura took him for a 3 mile daily walk, and sent many pictures and updates the whole 6 days she had him. He became a part of her family❤️ I cannot say enough about how happy we were to have found her. She gave us peace of mind that Kai was well loved and cared for so we were able to enjoy the wedding without any worries. I would HIGHLY recommend Laura to anyone looking for a sitter!!”

“Tina is AWESOME! We boarded our special needs, almost blind senior shih tzu with her last night and everything went great. Tina is responsive, very easy to work with, super attentive to our little girl and clearly has a great deal of experience with all kinds of dogs. Our pup is a rescue that had been abandoned just over a year ago, so she is quite anxious and has separation anxiety. We always worry about how things will go when we leave her... Tina was fantastic with her!!! She sent regular text updates and adorable photos to make us feel at ease. We cant recommend Tina highly enough and have already booked her again for future events when we need a siter. THANK YOU TINA!!!!”

Our pup Finn loves spending time with Terry! She goes above and beyond with providing loving care and making sure he is comfortable when she's with him at our home or at hers. Hes had anxiety when we've left him in the past but never does when he is with Terry. She sends lots of pictures and updates and we can be away without worrying about him at all.

Anthony really helped us out when our first sitter canceled on us. He kept us updated with pictures and some messages that really helped with any anxiety of how our dog was doing. Bear seemed to really enjoy his stay and I would have Anthony watch our dog again!
