“Lauren and Kelly are ahhh-mazing! They are so kind, accommodating and treat your pet like a part of their own family. They sent me photos throughout my time away. My dog came home so happy and I swear he was smiling when I picked him up! So trustworthy and loving to your furry family member. Can not thank them enough or say enough to express the feeling that you feel, knowing that your pet is safe and loved while you are away!!! 💗💕💗”

“Marc did a great job watching my quirky beagle! Waldo had a great time at Marc's home. His fenced in yard is perfect for dogs. He's very attentive and caring. He provided me with pictures of Waldo during his stay. I've already booked him again for two more stays.”
“I’m so happy we found Karen, she takes such amazing care of our Goldie and sends us lots of updates. It definitely calms our anxiety (which is high!!) when we have to leave her! It’s also such a relief that Goldie has Juni to hang out with, such a sweet girl.”
“Maria was wonderful! Very communicative. A beautiful fenced in yard and two lovely dogs who quickly became my dogs best friends. I think he may have had the best day of his life. ?”

“Karissa was an amazing sitter for our dog Benny! She was super communicative from the start. We did a meet and greet to make sure everything would go ok beforehand and she asked plenty of questions about Benny’s care and routine to make sure he’s be happy and comfortable. She updated us throughout his stay and sent photos of him happily walking around out and about, as well as relaxing inside. It’s clear he had a great stay! Thanks Karissa!”

“Caitlin and her family were sure to make Aila feel right at home during her 5 night stay. Every picture update Aila looked comfortable, happy, and having so much fun. Caitlin was flexible with drop off and pick up times and provided timely responses/updates on Aila throughout her stay. I highly recommend her as a sitter!”
“Caitlin was amazing with our young puppy of 4 months, Pepper. It’s the first time we left her and we felt 100% comfortable. She updated regularly with photos and kept our pup safe and happy. Thanks Caitlin!!!!”
“Alyne is my go-to for my 3yo lab who loves to roam around her fenced-in yard and get cozy at night with other dogs. Alyne is totally a dog whisperer; my high-energy, still-very-puppy girl comes home very relaxed after a stay.”
“He was well cared for and loved hanging out with the other dogs. I was updated regularly with short videos of him hanging out. Great environment and Sheri is a great dog host/babysitter.”
About: I've pretty much never lived a day without animals around me–they're my joy and keep me grounded. I recently lost my faithful best friend, and not ready for another dog of my own, so I'd love to pour that care into yours right now. I'm deeply tuned in to what dogs want and need—the shy ones, the seniors, the wiggle-butts, and I prioritize their comfort. I work from home in a quiet, safe neighborhood with easy beach walks, and my kids are grown, so your pup gets real attention, not background attention. Pet care fits naturally into my day/week because I work from home and keep a steady, calm rhythm. Morning coffee is followed by a walk to stretch or start the day with a sniff or run. Throughout the day, I take breaks for play, fresh air and cuddles, and I am never gone for long stretches. Evenings can be wound down with a stroll on the beach or quiet streets. My routine is consistent, warm, and relaxed. In my home, pets are treated like family. I make sure they have a calm, loving space where they can relax and feel safe. I keep their routines consistent—regular meals, fresh water, walks, and plenty of playtime or quiet companionship, depending on their personality. I'm home most of the time, so no one's left alone for long. Dogs can nap near me while I work, join me for beach walks, or lounge in a sunny spot. I keep things peaceful, clean and full of gentle attention.
About: I currently have two senior dogs, requiring special needs. I have boarded dogs and puppies teaching them the use of my doggie door outside. I reinforce some basic commands, such as sit, stay and come. I am retired so I have plenty of time to walk/visit or sit and play with your furry family members. My schedule is very flexible. I currently do boarding in my home, I also provide pet sitting in your home, typically 2 days/1 night would consist of three visits/walks in the day and myself staying with your pets for the overnight.
“I’m guilty of being a helicopter Mom. My dog is very attached to me and spoiled! Needless to say I was overly worried leaving Finn for 5 nights. Steve was amazing putting me to ease. He sent pictures and videos that clearly showed Finn both happy and comfortable. Finn will be a repeat customer:)”
“An outstanding boarding facility. They were sensitive (Luis and his wife), responsive to our needs and our pet loved his stay! He hardly wanted to come home since he had a buddy at the sitters. I will try to book them whenever I have the need.”
“Karen took great care of our dog Dempsey. Great communication and lots of pictures. I will definitely book a stay there again. Strongly recommend her if you are going to the Cape beaches during the summer when dogs aren’t allowed.”
