“We went on vacation for a week and Obi had a wonderful stay with Barbara and Jen. He stayed active and played with other dogs. Obi is sometimes a picky eater and they managed really well.”
About: I have extensive experience caring for cats from kittens to seniors, including administering oral medications. This includes my own cats and also family/friend cats. I have my own rescue pit mix dog who has needed some patience to build her confidence and I’m proud of the work we’ve done together in the 1+ years together. I’ve also worked as a kennel assistant handling meal times, medication, day cares, walks, and clean up. I have always loved pets, from hamsters up to big 100 lbs dogs. I will treat your baby with love and respect and understanding of their needs. I share pet care duties with my Fiance John who grew up with dogs and cats in his household and takes care of our two cats and rescue dog with me. We both work full time but I only work 4 days a week and John works 5 days but leaves later and gets home earlier than me. I handle the morning chores including pet meals and Phoebe’s first walk of the day. John handles the second walk of the day when he gets home from work and the second mealtime then. Night time, Phoebe always gets a walk before bed and cats get their last meal. On weekends and free days off together (I always have a 3 day weekend) Phoebe usually gets a trip out to a park, trail, or beach where she can either roam and get her running in. Phoebe gets playdates often with her dog besties who live nearby. Phoebe is crate trained and we have an extra crate on hand too as needed. Currently Phoebe and the cats roam free together when we’re at work because they’re trustworthy now but if a guest comes, we can separate rooms easily and use crates. In other clients homes, I will always follow the rules of the house. Dogs and cats alike will get lots of enrichment, walks, and playtime so everyone is satisfied and comfortable.
“Betsy and her family created a welcoming environment that made it easy for our nervous dog to adjust. Betsy gave him all the care and attention he needed and was super responsive through our vacation. We will try to book again before we move.”

“Stefan and his family are great! We had a really pleasant experience with them. Both my dog and myself. She had a great time staying with Stefan’s family and met her doggie friends. And thank you Stefan for being flexible with time for dropping off and picking up !”

“François was absolutely fantastic. He went over our routine with Atlas and took Atlas for multiple long walks - Atlas was in heaven. François kept us up-to-date on their activities together and was easy to communicate with!”

“Jordan did an incredible job taking care of Spud for a last minute weekend boarding at her home. Spud clearly had a great time and was well taken care of. Much appreciated and would love to use her services again!”

“Mars had a wonderful time with Ann & Jim! They sent lots of photos, took him on adventures at the fells and walks featuring lots of fetch! He was happy to be there and came home tired and happy 🤗”

“Thank you for looking after our dogs! Ling and Ye sent lots of photos of our two midsize labradoodles on walks and getting cuddles during their stay. And they came home calm and relaxed afterwards - a sign that they were happy while during their stay. Our dogs can get nervous around large male dogs, but their dog Brody (large labradoodle) is a gentle giant who immediately got on with our dogs, but also gave them their own space. We appreciate Ling and Ye's kindness towards our dogs!”

“My dog had an excellent time with Kaisi. Kaisi sent lots of pictures of her dog and mine at the dog park, walking in fresh pond, looking so relaxed and happy. Thanks Kaisi!”

“Alanis took such good care of my baby boy, Leo! She sent me updates throughout the day, and Leo looked so clean and happy and in shape when I picked him up. Without a doubt, I will always reach out to Alanis whenever I need help with Leo from now on!”

“My pup Lyla had a fantastic stay with Yick-Hong and his wife for a week! All the pictures they sent me she looked so happy and relaxed. She even was sleeping on her back because she was so comfortable (vulnerable position for dogs). They took her on walks to new areas which she loves and even ran with her because they could tell she enjoyed it. They also provided detailed daily updates and were responsive to any messages I sent. I will definitely have Lyla stay with them again!”

“Kaitlyn was so good with my pup, Franklin! Her communication was quick and she was so great with sending me pictures. Will be trusting her again with my dog soon!”

“When we picked up our pup, you could tell her really enjoyed his time with Yulia and her family. He was happy to see us, but I'm pretty sure he would have been equally happy to stay with them. We will certainly be using Yulia's services again in the future.”


“Andy did a great job caring for Wally! He was very communicative and sent lots of updates. Wally had lots of walks, playtime, and time spent relaxing—and came back home a very happy pup! I highly recommend Andy!”

“Kate instantly made myself and Louie feel welcome and comfortable for his weekend stay! She sent me pictures and updates each day and I could tell Louie was happy and well cared for when I picked him up. I will definitely book her for future stays and highly recommend her!”

“Our dog just stayed with Oana and Oliver for the week and it was very reassuring to leave her knowing that she was in good hands. Oana and Oliver are very attentive to the dogs, bring them on walk through the woods and send us lots of photos every night to show us the activities and cute moments during the day. We will definitely use their services again!”

“Isabella did a great job in minding Marvin and Mellow. My cats are usually nervous at first, but settled down really well throughout their stay. She kept us in the loop with loads of photos and videos. By the end, our cats were content and I would definitely book her again!”


“This was my first time using Rover and Liz went above and beyond as Simon’s dog sitter. I received many pictures and updates every single day and there was no time lapse in her responses if I ever messaged her first. I’m not even sure Simon even missed me because of how well he was taken care of and loved on. Will most definitely be booking with Liz again and have raved about her to my friends with pets. Thank you again!!”

Wow, I cannot say enough great things about Eddy. It was my first time boarding my high energy German shepherd Koda, and I am so beyond grateful I found Eddy to take care of him!! I told him as many updates as he could give me would be appreciated, and he delivered! I got frequent updates on how Koda was doing, how he was eating and getting along with others, and SO many pictures and videos!!! It took so much stress off my shoulders seeing that my boy was having so much fun and being taken care of so wonderfully. He had a BLAST! Instead of boarding him it felt more like a mini vacation for him! I have recommended Eddy to all my friends and if you’re reading this debating using his services…DO IT!!! You will not regret it, Eddy was such a pleasure to work with and you can really tell how much he loves dogs and treats them as his own. Thank you again so much Eddy for being so communicative, responsible, and loving to Koda!

Lady had a phenomenal stay with the best couple. Very attentive and thorough. They were quick to respond to any messages leading up to and during her stay. We got daily updates and Lady came back in the best of moods. Would absolutely recommend them for anyone looking for a dog sitter. Will be returning for future stays!

Anna took exceptional care of my dog over a long weekend. It was clear when my dog got home that he had a relaxing and good experience with her and Kuma. She sent so many pictures and updates while I was away! I look forward to the next time she can watch my dog because I know he'll have a great time and she'll give him all the love and care he needs.
