“Brianna is fantastic - not only did she save me when Riot’s usual sitters dropped out just 10 days before a business trip, she also took time to meet with me and reassure me, cared like a pro for Riot’s ears when of course she got an ear infection and a hematoma 3 days before the trip, sent so many cute pics and vids of Riot, put up with her fire alarm barks, and just generally cared for my annoying little baby so well. Brianna is a fabulous human being. Thank you so much!”
“Mocha had a wonderful time! She had some doggy friends. Amanda and Michael were awesome to Mocha, they showed her so much love! We received so many fun pictures! We would use Amanda and Michael again in a heartbeat! Thank you so much! 😊”
“Karina & Teresa were amazing sitters for my dog. They are kind, attentive, and clearly love what they do. They treated my dog very well and made sure he was comfortable . They also sent lots of photos and videos throughout the stay, which really gave me peace of mind! I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring dog sitters.”
“Jayme was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and always responded quickly to our messages. We felt so at ease knowing Finnegan was in such good hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and that he had a great time with her dogs. We highly recommend Jayme to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“Stephanie is such a caring provider. We can tell she really enjoyed Bleu’s company and it was mutual! She understands his individual needs. She planned activities to match his energy. She also had other dogs that had pleasant vibes. She gave us a full progress report. We all love Stephanie and cannot wait to reconnect in the future.”
“We had a fantastic experience! Kayla took such great care of our dog, Soren — it was clear from the start that she is kind, attentive, and genuinely love animals. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our pup came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. In fact, I think he’s missing her! We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with Kayla again. Highly recommend!”
“Liza did great with my golden doodle. She was very quick with her responses and provided updates on my boy everyday. He seemed to have a good time with her. Highly recommend her and would definitely book again!”
“Bianca is very responsible and does an amazing job at caring for my dog. I have left my dog with her multiple time in the past and every time she goes above and beyond. Thank you Bianca!”
“Gaileen was AMAZING. I booked with her months in advance and it was a pleasant first meeting. Gaileen made sure to ask all the right questions with slate which made me feel in confident in what she was doing and the exceptional service she would and did provide. The communication during the stay was also appreciated as Gaileen kept me informed with pictures and status updates as well as reaching out regarding any questions that arise during the booking. Overall I would 100% recommended Gaileen for all others seeking a responsible trustworthy and dependable sitter who goes above and beyond. I would definitely book again.”
“Cassandra & Nolan took excellent care of my Rosie girl while I was on a day trip to NYC. Frequent walks, cuddles, playtime, and plenty of photo updates. She enjoyed taking part in their holiday celebration! I will definitely book them again next time I'm in CT.”
“This is only the second time I have boarded my dog, and since I’m usually home all day with her, I wanted to make sure I left her with someone who would be home all the time and able to monitor her the way I do. Mariana went above and beyond my expectations! I not only got one or 2 photos a day, but I got updates on what she was doing, and even several videos of her being cute. I cannot say enough good things about the time and attention Mariana gave my dog and me! I will absolutely board with Mariana again the next time I go out of town!”
“Gosh, where to begin? Our Lucy had such a wonderful stay with Howard, Kathy & Victoria that after 2 weeks, I think she was reluctant to leave them & return home with us! They were so good at keeping us posted on how she was doing, including pics, which was very comforting for this mama who hates being away from her fur kid. They are truly kind and generous people, opening their home & hearts to pets that aren't theirs and my only hope is that when Lucy stays with them again, they will be available. They are THAT GOOD! Grazie mille, H, K & V!”
“Mikayla and Justin were incredible during Teddy’s stay! Their communication was excellent, and they kept me updated with tons of photos while I was away. They truly went above and beyond to make sure Teddy felt loved and comfortable. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Smart, kind, and attentive. Claudia and Steven are wonderful people and our pup Luna enjoyed two great stays with them. They shared updates and photos on a regular basis which is so appreciated.”
“Katherine was our first dog sitter for our pup, and made our first time being away from him feel very safe and taken care of. She gave him so many play dates, exercise, and pampering during our trip that we’re sure he felt he was on vacation too. We would definitely recommend.”

Thank you so much for watching Ghost! I was pretty anxious since it was our first time being apart for such a long stretch, but the moment he ran up to Sai, I knew he was going to be safe and well cared for while I was away. It truly felt like a home away from home for him. I also really appreciate your flexibility when my plans changed at the last minute.
Bianka is the best sitter I have ever worked with. She took care of my baby Olivia for a whole weekend. She sends regular updates and made sure my puppy was happy and loved. Also, I was stuck overseas due to a snow storm and flight cancellations and Bianka gave me that piece of mind telling me that my puppy is safe with her. She’s an amazing person and amazing sitter. Recommend 10/10. Will definitely contact her if I ever need another sitter. She’s a gem!!
Kayla and Matt are the nicest couple and true dog lovers! Our dog Lewi had a marvelous time, and we received regular photo updates. He was clearly very happy there! It’s great that they have a fenced in yard, their dog Penny is so sweet, and they also went on walks. Very highly recommend!
Zuleima and her family are so great! They have a very calm energy and sweet home. Our pup settled right in with them and thoroughly enjoyed himself over the long weekend. She was very communicative and sent pictures each day. We wouldn’t hesitate to have them keep Bear again.
This was our first time having someone outside our immediate family to watch over our dog Quincy. So we weren’t sure how he would do with someone he didn’t know, especially with another dog in the house. But I knew from the first time I met up with Nafiye to meet Quincy, that everything was going to be ok. He was great with Quincy and he felt very comfortable and responded well with her. He got a long very well with her very trained dog and he had a very nice stay with her while we were out of town. We liked that it was very important to her that she spent a little bit of time with him before committing to watch g him for us. She sent pictures and videos of his stay and playing with them. We will definitely be using her in the future, if she is available.
Absolutely amazing! We were traveling through the area, and needed somewhere for our girls to stay. Diana had awesome communication, was so sweet to our pups, and made us feel very calm! So thankful we had them stay and if we’re ever back in the area, we’ll use again!
Jacqueline was very professional and eased my concerns with leaving my baby for the first time, I was so nervous. I was sent pictures of my baby which calmed my nerves down. If she would take Denim again when needed I would love it. Thank you and I would put in the highest recommendation that I could for a great dog sitter
