“Hang took such great care of our girl Bailey! 🐾 She sent us pictures, videos, and daily updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Bailey looked so happy and well-loved the entire time. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter — highly recommend Hang to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”


“Kristina is absolutely a dream! She's the only dog sitter I've found that my dog actually enjoys - it feels like I'm sending her to summer camp. Kristina is also incredibly flexible and kind and spends tons of time with her dogs.”



“Evie had so much fun at Kirsten’s, we appreciate the great care she received. She went on walks, played with the other dogs and had plenty of cuddle time. We would definitely have her stay again and felt assured that she was well cared for.”



“Martha is amazing. She is easy to communicate with and very prompt. She is also very kind and you can tell she loves dogs. As does her family. She sends pic and videos of my pup to ease my mind being away from him. He has fallen in love with her daughter and seems very comfortable. I highly recommend her a will use her again if needed.”


“The best people I’ve ever left Arbor with. They really went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable. Sent pictures regularly. Even gave her a bath and brushed her! Will 100000% book again!”


“Once again, another wonderful vacation for my love with Kimiko. She takes such loving care of my girl, this time cleaning her waxy ears daily. Until next time. Thank you so much!”


About: I grew up with a dog and owned two dogs for the last 7 years. My friends also have dogs and I’m a go-to for them when they need hand. I love talking to dogs, finding their “scratch spot”, and keeping them company during their naps, while I toil away working from home. I think dogs are best served when there is a routine. I have enough flexibility in my work and social schedule to accommodate the routines your best friend is accustomed to. I also enjoy walking as much as dogs do so there will be plenty of time on our feet - enjoying the neighborhood smells and marking their spots. I live alone, no other pets and the yard is fully fenced. The yard is fully fenced and I never leave pets alone in the yard. I’m always tending the garden, playing or just relaxing with them. In the house, I do not mind if dogs are on the furniture or want to cuddle at night. Dog beds are available throughout the house. And water is always available.

“Erin and Kevin were great with Punky! We got daily updates about how she was doing and what they were up to together. For the first time ever, she was even a little casual at pickup time, rather than her maniac self. We know she enjoyed her stay with their loving family and would absolutely book with Erin and Kevin again.”


“Chelsea was an amazing dog sitter! She took great care of our pug and provided many updates and pictures throughout the weekend. We are so happy we found her and will definitely be using her services again.”


“Brenda took wonderful care of our dog, Zelda, during our 4 day trip. Zelda can be a finicky eater and also chews up paper, so leaving her with a caring and attentive Rover really helps us be able to travel with ease. Zelda did great under Brenda's care, and came home happy and healthy. I definitely recommend booking with Brenda and will rebook in the future! Thank you so much!”


“I cannot recommend Rachael highly enough! It's clear she has a genuine love for dogs. She took the time to get to know my dog, Bruno, and made sure to follow my routines and preferences for care. Rachael provided plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles, all while ensuring Bruno felt comfortable and happy. I returned to a happy, well-cared-for dog. If you're looking for a trustworthy, caring, and fun dog sitter, look no further! I’m so grateful for her services and will definitely be using her again in the future!"”


“Maria went above and beyond in every possible way to care for our dog, Biscuit. She did a thorough meet and greet and read through all of my lengthy instructions for him to ensure she understood his quirks and felt confident going into his stay. She sent thorough updates with photos throughout his stay, and he honestly looked so calm, happy and at peace with her. Her love for dogs and attention to detail make her the perfect pet sitter. We will certainly be booking with Maria again!”


“Matt is simply the best. He takes care of Ajax with so much love and care. Ajax has tons of fun with all his doggie best friends at Matts place! I never have to think twice about leaving my dog with Matt because I know Ajax is so comfortable with him!”


“Finding someone new to watch your pup isn't an easy thing, but we are SO glad we found Julia (and Yoda)! As soon as we had our meat and greet, I knew she was a keeper. It's obvious how much she loves and cares for her own dog and she did just the same with our pup. Julia is communicative, outgoing, kind, responsive and was great about lots of walks, play time and cuddles. Thank you so much for taking such good care. We look forward to seeing you and Yoda again!”


About: I currently have a very lovable, chill senior dog whom I've had for 10 years, and have also had a cat before that. My friends call me a "dog whisperer" because I have a knack for training and understanding dogs. I've watched countless dogs in the past decade, and am the go-to dog sitter for all my friend's pups. I figured I may as well do this professionally, since I love it so much. I treat dogs just as humans, with their own unique needs and personalities. Whether it's more walks, dedicated playtime, or quiet time alone, I'm happy to manage the specific needs of your pet(s). I understand that not all pets want to be social or friendly. I can attend to specific needs like medication or agility/aggression training, having managed these issues with multiple dogs in the past. I have a flexible schedule, so I can give the necessary time needed to your pet, including, but not limited to lots of cuddles, treats, and of course, 3-4 walks/adventures every day. On weekends we can go on bigger adventures like city/nature hikes or brewery hangs based on the unique temperament of your pet. I live in a spacious townhouse on a quiet dead-end street with minimal car and foot traffic. I am meticulously clean and organized, and would treat your home the same way I treat mine. There is plenty of space for your pet to hang out in my house. I'm happy to cater to any specific needs too, such as medication, crating, or managing aggression with other dogs or humans.

“Sean was excellent with Juice (our dog). We met in a park and Juice immediately connected with both Sean and his dog. Sean communicated and sent pics and videos of Juice and took very good care of him. I'd highly recommend Sean and Juice did not want to leave him and his place :) Narsi”


“Sandie was the best! Caring, dependable, loving with our four-legged family member, and just a great caregiver. Highly recommend her for taking care of pets.”


“Angelique watched my dog Tillie for the first time for 4 days / 3 nights. We had a meet and greet prior to the stay with both Angelique and Kevin. Tillie is very shy with new people, and Angelique worked with that. Angelique provided daily photos and updates, and was responsive to messages. Overall great stay!”


“Nancy is the best! I had a trip planned but it got canceled at the last minute, so we did a doggy daycare instead. She was super flexible and kind, always updating me with photos and about the day. Definitely keeping her around for the future! Thanks again Nancy!”

Gregg M.
“I’m so grateful Gregg was an available last minute to watch my pup. He took care of her as if she was his own, making sure she was comfortable and happy. I had just adopted her and she had the potential to be a little anxious with another new person but she warmed up to him immediately! He was an excellent communicator so I myself didn’t have to feel anxious either :). I would let Gregg watch Bailey again in a heartbeat!”

Abel’s kind heart and responsible nature make him our go-to sitter. You’ll get regular photo updates of your pup (or cat) living their best life, whether they’re out on a walk, snuggled up for a nap, or just being their happy self. With Abel, your pup is in the best (and most fun!) hands.”

Clarissa & Yasiel are amazing! On Skye's second stay with them, she ran straight up to their door and into their house like she was coming home. She comes home tired and happy and has clearly enjoyed her stay. They also send lots of updates and photos. I'd gladly book with them again and know Skye will be in good hands while we're out of town.

Maria went above and beyond in every possible way to care for our dog, Biscuit. She did a thorough meet and greet and read through all of my lengthy instructions for him to ensure she understood his quirks and felt confident going into his stay. She sent thorough updates with photos throughout his stay, and he honestly looked so calm, happy and at peace with her. Her love for dogs and attention to detail make her the perfect pet sitter. We will certainly be booking with Maria again!

Our dog (Teddy) had such a great time with Alejandra and Raul! They were super kind and responsive, sending us regular photos and updates. They were also really flexible when we changed our flight time, which we really appreciated. We would definitely recommend them!

My dog loves his vacations at Kimiko’s house! Kimiko always sends lots of updates and pics, and my dog always looks like he’s having a great time. Kimiko clearly has a ton of experience with dogs. She takes her time to do slow introductions when introducing a new dog to her dogs, and makes sure that all the dogs are comfortable. She also has plenty of gates in the yard and the house so that she can separate the dogs if they’re not comfortable together. I also appreciate that Kimiko crates the dogs when she’s not at home to keep them safe.

Chelsea was absolutely amazing!! She was extremely communicative, sent lots of photo updates and took such wonderful care of our dog, Bubbles! Highly recommend Chelsea to anyone looking for a sweet, attentive and responsible pet sitter. Will absolutely use Chelsea in the future!

Brittney took great care of our pup! He had a last minute toe injury and she was great with administering medication and accommodating his needs for minimal exercise and a cone 24/7. He returned very happy. Her response time was always really quick before and during his visit. We highly recommend her and will return when we need another sitter.
