Our Kashmir was well taken care of while we got married. Theresa sent us pictures and gave us updates the entire day. She is professional and thorough, and Kashmir looked like she enjoyed having a new friend. We would highly recommend her services.

Jackie is an amazing sitter! She gave excellent communication, provided video and picture updates, and went above and beyond to make sure Phoebe had everything she needed! She also stepped up when unforeseen circumstances caused a delay in me getting home. She is definitely the best and has me as a recurring sitter in the future!

Christie continues to impress - she takes such care with our dogs that she really does now feel like family. I have zero concerns about her ability to manage anything that comes up - or provide the required number of cuddles for our very spoiled poodles!

Rod took great care of my two huskies while I was away on business. He has a way with connecting with dogs and was very attentive to every need and made sure to send pictures and frequent updates, which I enjoyed! When I came home, they hardly got up to greet me - which to me is the mark of a great dog sitter and tells me that he took such great care of them that they didn't miss me much while I was gone... Which is what I want! They absolutely love him, and I 100 percent will be re-booking with him for future dates. Thanks Rod for being such an awesome sitter!

Devon is wonderful! We rescued a dog who is very nervous of people and Devon has such a calm energy that our dog warmed up to her very quickly. Devon was great to communicate with and sent us picture during her stay.

Lizzie was amazing!! She stayed at our house with our 2 labs for 11 days while we went out of the country. She would send pictures about every day and was great at communicating. It’s always nice to have your dogs in the comfort of their own house. When I got back she had the house cleaned and washed her own bedding, which she didn’t need to but I know I would have done the same. I will definitely use her again.

Courtney was the perfect dog sitter! She watched our Roxy for 10 days while we were on vacation during a huge winter storm. Even though it was negative temps she still tried to walk her and she played in the snow with her and just gave her all the love.

Barb was fantastic! I received regular updates on the pups. They were so happy! My house was spotless and well kept too. I actually had an issue with my furnace while she was there and she assisted with that. I highly recommend Barb!

Kathy was very easy to work with and very responsive. After meeting Kathy at the meet and greet I felt very comfortable with her staying at our home and taking care of River and Rowdy. While we were away, Kathy was responsive and sent updates and pictures of the dogs. I could tell they were happy and were comfortable with Kathy. When we returned home, the house was just as we left it and River and Rowdy were very well taken care of. I would highly recommend Kathy.

Ana did an incredible job watching our dog Clarke. She sent multiple photos of them playing fetch and going for walks. She also provided him with treats and ice cream (after asking us if it was ok!). I recommend Ana to watch your pets any day of the week. Will certainly contact her next time we are looking for help. Thank you Ana!

We've used Drew's services a few times and are very pleased. He takes great care of our property and is wonderful with the dogs. We feel very comfortable being away when Drew is sitting the house and dogs.

My name is Kyler H, and I recommend Gabriella as a responsible and loving caregiver, because she always talks about animals and how much she loves them and wanted to take care of and/ or work with them on a regular basis. She always does well with her animals and takes them outside for walks. And loves to show them off and take tons of pictures of their adventures! I am certain if given the opportunity she would not let you guys and gals at River down!

About: I have been around dogs since I was a young lad. I was responsible for the family dog into my teens. When visiting other people who had dogs, I always seemed to gravitate towards their pets. I would pet and play with them long after everyone else had stopped paying attention. After I graduated from college I had dogs of my own. When I got married my pet experiences broadened. Through my own family I have now gained experience caring for hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, fish, and some small birds. Only in the last few years have we not had a pet of our own, which is one of the reasons I am able to help care for your pet. I have a soft spot for animals and I enjoy caring for them. I am a full-time teacher, which fills up my weekdays. I am able to help care for your pet in the evenings, weekends, and holidays. When I had pets of my own, I was careful to make sure that my buddy was well-cared for. I paid close attention to their diet, tried to have a good mixture of outdoor play time and time inside. When watching other people's pets in my home, I have followed the directions they have provided, as they know best what their pet may eat and what kind of play and exercise is most enjoyable and beneficial. I would give the same attention and standard of care for your pet.
