“My 75lb dog stayed with Tracy for nearly a week over a holiday. He loved his stay and was exhausted from playing all day. I felt very comfortable with him staying with Tracy. I received regular pictures and updates. Very pleased.”
“What an awesome experience for my very spoiled lab! Diana wants to know all the details about all the dogs she has so she can provide the best personal experience for each one. She sent me pictures of his day, text messages of significant moments and I showed up to her group of dogs playing together. Duke has found his second home! I would highly recommend Diana to anyone that has a spoiled pet and is worried about leaving them behind during their travels....Duke had a better week than I did!”
“Julie babysitted our young puppy on short notice and took such great care of her. Our puppy had a blast playing with new dog friends and was well looked after - it was a great confidence booster for her, and I felt totally comfortable leaving her in such a loving home. Julie even washed her bedding and treat dispenser toys, which was super thoughtful. Thank you again Julie!”
“Awesome! For a first rover experience, I couldn't be more pleased. The communication and the service was great. Catrina and her partner gave me also valuable insight of the behavior of my dog in new situation. Really recommend :)”
“Faith is so caring & kind (and fun to talk to). I feel so secure with her watching my big pup. Lena also had such an amazing 5 day stay with her. I hope he gets to do it again soon. 🥰”
“Elizabeth has an excellent place for boarding your dog. She has an inside play area, about a 1/2 acre of land for the dogs to roam and play. Inside her home she has rooms setup, which have gates, to separate the dogs at night, if needed. Our dog has high anxiety and separation issues. She did an excellent job with managing these issues and keeping us informed. We highly recommend Elizabeth for your dog boarding!”
“We had Gemma watch our small dog for the second time now and feel lucky to have found her. She is very kind, flexible and caring. Zoey can be anxious with strangers sometimes but that doesn’t seem to be the case with Gemma and her family.”
“Left my golden Charlie with Jade for a few days and he had the best time playing with her pups and running around her huge yard. She was very communicative and sent video and pics every day. I will definitely go back to her in the future.”
“Hailey was wonderful. She and her family took great care of our pup while we were away and updated us frequently with daily activities and photos. From the meet and greet to the pickup it was obvious he was in good hands and got all the love and attention he deserves! She was attentive, kind and respectful, plus her dog was friendly and a great playmate for our dog. Highly recommend Hailey, we hope to board with her again!”
“Jo was amazing! My dog had so much fun with her and her dogs. She was also super accommodating when our flight was delayed. She communicated well, and sent pictures every day of our dog playing and having a great time!”
“Miriam was great with Ruby! Ruby came home relaxed and happy-a well cared for pup for sure. Such a gift!! We’re so grateful and are relieved to have found a good caretaker for our pup when needed.”
“Savanah was an absolute delight to work with, was very compassionate, and communicative throughout the process. It was so lovely that Lola and Oshie played together and Lola got to be her mostly lazy self. Lola was very well taken care of and I would absolutely have Savanah watch Lola again.”
“Natalee took care of my dog very well and sent me updates with pictures. Communication was great. My dog came home smelling great too. He loved being with Natalee. I highly recommend booking with her again.”
About: I have grown up with various animals. Our family has had everything from lizards, hamsters, dogs, cats, and horses. I am a vet student at Oregon State and have had the opportunity to work with many different animals. My availability is flexible and chances are I can be there when your pet needs me. I have class during the weekdays but plenty of time before school, during lunch, and in the afternoon/evening. I would be more than happy to come meet your pets before sitting for them if they are nervous around new people or if you as the owner would like to meet me first! I love going on hikes and walks and being outdoors. If your pet loves these things I am more than happy to go on long walks and if not hanging out at home works for me too!
About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter with nearly five years of caring for other people’s furry family members in both my home and theirs. I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life—currently I share my home (and my couch) with my 7-year-old black Lab. He has asthma, so I do have experience at pet meds and inhalers—nurse, treat dispenser, and belly rub specialist all in one. Your dog will get daily walks (because mine says it’s non-negotiable), plus all the sniffing, playing, and cuddling they can handle. I’ll also send you photo updates so you can see them living their best vacation life while you’re away. Think of me as their second favorite human—right after you, of course! I work from home on Mondays and Fridays and am available most weekends, so your pup will have round the clock care during those hours. Your dog will get daily walks (because mine says it’s non-negotiable), plus all the sniffing, playing, and cuddling they can handle. I have a black lab who has asthma, so I do have experience at pet meds and inhalers. Your dog will get daily walks during their stay with us. I am a helicopter pet parent so I insist on sending you photo updates while you’re away.
“Thank you, Carlos, for taking such excellent care of our dog. In just 24 hours, Bentley received great attention, was walked and trained, and even enjoyed a trip to the dog park. He returned home as if he'd had a full day of fun! Carlos truly deserves to be in the premier category.”
