“We are so glad to have found David! His calm demeanor was a perfect match for our sometimes-rambunctious big dog. We appreciated his updates (enough but not too many) and his good questions. We’ve already hired him to dogsit for our next trip.”
“Valeria has been-by far-the best dog sitter for my boy Charlie. She was very communicative and thoughtful. She also immediately bonded with Charlie and knew how to take such good care of him. She gave multiple updates throughout the day and sent me the best photos and videos. Thank you so much Valeria, you are a gem!!”
“I strongly recommend Kathryn as a sitter. Clearly loves digs, took them to Cat Rock daily and they seemed so happy to be around her”
“Tricia was fantastic! Took such good care of our dogs and house and was so responsive to messages and sent some many cute photos while we were away.”
“Sara was amazing! Our 11 month old Violet loved her immediately. We asked her short notice, to stay a few extra hours and she was super accommodating and responsive. Can't say enough positive things about our experience. Will definitely use again!”
“We just had Charlene care for our cats during a long weekend getaway, and once again she exceeded our expectations! Charlene is our trusted go-to cat sitter because she treats our pets like her own. She’s incredibly thorough with the daily essentials - keeping litter boxes spotless, ensuring fresh water and food are always available - but what really stands out is her genuine love for animals. Both of our cats (even the super skittish one!) clearly enjoy her visits and the quality time she spends with them. It’s such a relief to travel knowing the furry family members are in such capable and caring hands. Charlene’s consistency and dependability have earned our complete trust, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again or recommend her to fellow pet parents!”
“Kelcee was fantastic! She took amazing care of Asya and sent the best pictures and kept me updated on how things were going. She made being away from my fur baby more calming for her momma!”
“Very nice man and gentle with my older dog. Was good communicator and I would use him again. Thanks!”
“Melissa was great! The dogs were happy campers, the house was spotless, and she was a great communicator! We'll definitely book again when we have a need.”
“Natalie was amazing! She did an incredible job looking after our 7-month old pup Winston. We felt completely at ease during our first time away from him! Highly recommend Natalie to watch over your fur-babies :)”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 15 years, and have always had a large, loved dog of my own. More experience with adopted/rescue dogs than breeder dogs Currently working full time, but will be a law student starting in August, so will have much more availability during the weeks and also during the weekend. I am more comfortable taking care of your dog in their own home, as I have a dog who can be slightly reactive back home
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little. I am gentle but confident with them, and you can depend on me to take good care of your best friend. I have a job that allows for remote work flexibility and that has a relatively predictable schedule, allowing me to take care of your pet. My apartment is dog friendly, with a pet spa for baths/brushing and an outdoor dog park where they can run around off leash with some fun obstacles. I also have a balcony where dogs love to lounge in warm weather.
“We are forever grateful for Devon! She was absolutely incredible with our two dogs and we could be fully present and worry-free for our destination wedding. She was patient with our anxious dog and enabled her to feel comfortable almost immediately. Devon sent adorable photos and truly went above and beyond! We would be lucky to be able to have Devon stay in our home again in the future! Thank you times a million!!!”
“Salina took good care of our female German shepherd. She was able to keep our pup on her regular schedule while giving her some nice individual attention. Salina is very responsible and was able to make our travels worry free.”

“Susan was wonderful! Strong communication, super tidy, and great care of our dog and home.”
About: I am a teacher ( and mom) with free time this summer and would love to help care for your dog with walks, play time and overnight care. I have my own 3 year old dog who loves to play with other dogs as well ( but she doesn't have to be included in play or an overnight in your home). Until September I have a flexible schedule and am fairly available weekdays and some weekends with notice. I have an active lifestyle and would enjoy long walks with your dog if needed. I am not offering care in my home at this time. That may change in the future and would depend on the specifics of the dog
“Kathryn was fantastic! She sent tons of wonderful pictures and handled our dog’s unexpected roll in outdoor gunk and subsequent need for a bath with flexibility and humor. We came home to a tired, happy pup!”
