Sophie is absolutely amazing. I am always nervous when I have to bord my little Maltese but this time I could really enjoy my vacation without worry. Sophie sent pictures of Maya every day, and she looked sooo happy and received so much love and attention. She is only taking one dog at the time, she allowed her to sleep in her bed, I couldn't find a better sitter! I highly recommend Sophie, she is definitely the best!

I booked Michelle for the holidays and I could tell my pup was so happy, lounging around her place and getting tons of play time and cuddles. When it came time for pickup, Michelle was so so understanding and flexible after flights were continuously delayed, and continued to make us feel like that Monster was welcome and cared for. Definitely recommend!

Claire was wonderful with Hazel (older dog) and Sam (older cat). This was the first time we used a pet care service and we were very fortunate to find Claire. She is thoughtful, kind, skilled with dogs and cats, and an excellent communicator. Hazel can be reactive to other dogs on walks; Claire was familiar with the ractive dogs and managed it with well. She also messaged us once a day while we were away with details and pictures. We have already booked with Claire again.

We were immediately comfortable knowing our dogs would be receiving great care. Upon return, our dogs were made an easy transition home, confirming that they were, indeed, in good hands with Ian!

This was our first time working with a sitter, and Susan gave Gus the exercise, attention, and comfortable space he needed while I was away. Although at first when I left, Gus settled in, got in some walks with Susan, and overall did well -- and came home happy and calm - a testament to Susan's care. Thank you!

About: I’m naturally very active, so if your dog loves long walks and plenty of playtime, they’ll have a great workout buddy with me. At the same time, I’m super patient and adaptable to whatever your pet needs. I’ve worked with all kinds of animals with different traits and can definitely meet your needs! Because I work a part-time job with a flexible schedule, pet care easily fits right into my daily routine. I can structure my shifts around your dog's specific needs, I have plenty of open windows to make your pet a top priority throughout the week. Whether I’m hosting your dog or staying at your place, my goal is to keep their routine exactly how they like it. For active pups, that means plenty of long walks and fresh air to burn off energy, while puppies get consistent potty breaks and training support. If you have a senior dog, I focus on a quiet, stress-free environment and precise feeding schedules. I adapt completely to your pet's needs.

Diana and Scott are the absolute best! I'm usually anxious when leaving Scout behind while we're away, but they took such great care of her that I'll never be worried if she's with them. They were communicative throughout her stay and shared daily updates/photos. I've actually never seen her get comfortable with new people so quickly (she was handing out belly rubs on day 2 which is not typical for her lol). So thankful to have found them as sitters and hope to keep using them in the future!

Chad and his wife were amazing. He was super communicative and sent lots of fun videos and pictures. He was truly excited to watch my dogs and it showed in the care he gave them. He was super flexible too, I accidentally booked the stay for one less day than I needed and he was more than happy to book the extra day with me. I’ll use Chad again for sure!

My shiba Yuki had an amazing stay with Claire! He was spoiled with lots of backyard playtime and long walks. It’s always stressful traveling when I think about my dog but for the first time I had no worries about Yuki as I knew he was in great hands. Claire consistently sent updates throughout the day that made it my day to see him happy. Thank you so much for taking great care of my needy baby!

Cheri was INCREDIBLY AWESOME!!!! Niky was exceptionally well taken care of. Can't recommend her enough. Niky has a bunch of medicine needs and is an older senior dog so she needs a little extra care. Cheri was amazing about it all. Will have her watch Niky again soon!! Great experience.

Ron and Jeff were fantastic sitters for our dog Olive! They were so warm, communicative, and knowledgeable, and we knew Olive was in great hands while we were away. We first set up a daycare visit before our longer trip, and the best part was seeing how excited Olive was to see them again. 💕

I always worry when leaving my fur baby due to some bad prior experiences. Ella and Sydney were very kind, knowledgeable, accommodating, responsible, and caring. They communicated with me throughout the visit. Athena had such a great time that she didn’t want to leave. If you are on the fence on whether to book with Ella or not do not hesitate before some other lucky family reserves them. Thank you again!!!

We loved her regular updates, including photos and videos, and it was clear that my dog wanted to stay longer when I came to get him! 11 out of 10 stars, recommend with gusto!
