“Brenda took wonderful care of our dog, Zelda, during our 4 day trip. Zelda can be a finicky eater and also chews up paper, so leaving her with a caring and attentive Rover really helps us be able to travel with ease. Zelda did great under Brenda's care, and came home happy and healthy. I definitely recommend booking with Brenda and will rebook in the future! Thank you so much!”
“Thank you for taking excellent care of Plum!! It was a big help knowing she was in great hands with people who care about her. She’s looking forward to returning! Thank you!”
“We had a great experience with Erin and Kevin for our golden retriever Kobe! Erin proactively set up a meet and greet which helped Kobe adjust to their home as a first time guest. We got great updates throughout his stay and he had plenty of exercise, one day getting over 3 miles of walks in! Would highly recommend these kind folks for pup care.”
“Kevin is a very responsible sitter. He made sure that he understood our dog’s habits, routines, and personality. He communicated well and sent several photos a day. We felt very comfortable having Kevin watch our dog!”
“Tomas was super patient with my shy pup - I could tell by the photos and videos that after a few days warming up, she was settled in, calm, comfortable, and having a blast playing with his dog! I felt reassured by the daily updates and check-ins, and would leave Zula in his care again in a heartbeat!”
“Gregg was wonderful at caring for our dog Koda over the weekend! He was easy to communicate with prior to Koda's stay -- we set up a meet-and-greet to make sure they were a good fit, and he took notes to make sure he understood Koda's needs and quirks. During her weekend at his home, he sent great photos and updates to show they were both enjoying each others' company. Koda seemed really happy and well cared-for, and we would look forward to having Gregg watch Koda again in the future. Thanks so much!”
“Pixel absolutely adores his visits with Melissa and Allan. They provide great, regular updates and treat him like one of the family. Thanks for another fantastic stay!”
“Mimi was fantastic with our doggo Butter! She was welcoming from the beginning and asked great questions about how to best make our dog feel comfortable while we were away. Her dog Tribble is so cute and welcoming as well. We received daily photos and videos which made us feel like Butter was being very well taken care of. This was our first time booking with Mimi and we will definitely book with Mimi again.”
“Rachael was great. She provided me regular updates on my pup while he stayed with her, which I very much appreciated. She also responded to any and all of my communications quickly and was very flexible. Would definitely recommend.”
“Theresa Ann took such good care of our pup and was very communicative with updates and photos while we were away. Lucy came home with the biggest smile on her face, and she can’t wait to hang out with Theresa Ann again!”
“Michael was an amazing sitter for my dog and communicator for me!! We had a last minute schedule change and were traveling to Seattle unexpectedly. Michael was so helpful and accommodating to make this work with less notice than usual! He was prompt and communicative sending me pictures of Sox updates along the way. His dog Ellie was very chill and seemed to get along with Sox great. I definitely would (and will!) work with Michael again!”
“Matt is such an amazing sitter! He sent several videos and pictures and made sure I was updated on how my pup was doing! Your pet is in good hands with him!!”
“Danielle and Joy are outstanding sitters! Our little boy is nearly 15 and on various meds for cancer, Cushing's and other random ailments. On top of that he's been through a lot of change recently, including the loss of his brother of 14 years. Danielle and Joy not only cared for his needs, but were conscientious of what was required and brought him comfort and happiness during his stay. They sent us photos regularly confirming all was well and weren't afraid to ask clarification questions before and during the booking. It brought us such joy and peace during our trip knowing he was doing so well. We wholeheartedly recommend Danielle and Joy and already have Rupert scheduled for his next stay.”
“We are so grateful to have found Ponyo as she has shown incredible care for our Jindo over multiple visits. Ponyo has always gone above and beyond, caring for the specific needs of our dog while keeping us informed each day of his status. We know he's in great hands with Ponyo, and appreciate for everything that she's done for our pup.”
“Amazing dog sitter. Organized, calm and so great w my bulldog! So so lucky to have found her! My bulldog is quirky and Este just took it all in stride, took perfect care of him and won his heart! Hope to schedule w her many more times”
“Catherine takes care of our Oreo so well! She has such a calming energy and so friendly. She always send pictures and updates! I can not rave enough about her!”
“This was our first time having Maria watch our Maltese and now that we’ve met her it will not be the last visit. Maria is a sweetheart. She is so attentive, caring and loving. She communicates daily by sharing nice messages and cute pictures that our Theodore was doing well. She clearly shows how much she enjoys all the dogs that spend time with her. I will most definitely use her services again and recommend her to everyone that needs a loving caretaker for their dog. Thank you so much Maria!”
“Chris was a wonderful dog sitter for our high-energy pup. He sent regular updates and was clearly engaged and attuned with her needs over an extended 10-day stay. He was attentive to making sure she was well exercised and we really appreciated his care for our girl. We would highly recommend his services! Thank you, Chris!”

Jackson and Audrey are such sweet kind people! My Cocoa was a little overwhelmed by their two dogs on meet and greet, but they are aware and conscientious is enough to have the space and the knowledge of when to give Dogs a little separation and so I thoughts since this was a short three day trip I would give it a try. Of course she warmed up to everyone right away. She just loves them and I could see in the daily videos and photos that she was so very happy. We have already booked with them again!
Kelsey was wonderful! We boarded our sweet pitty pup with her over a weekend and we would recommended her to anyone! She was communicative, kind, and took amazing care of our girl. She was flexible with our pick up time as well when we had some unexpected delays. Kitty loves Kelsey and we are so relieved to have found another great person to add to our sitter list.
Amazing! Eryn is a dream dog care giver. Her home is idyllic for dogs and she is warm, welcoming, and has a great sense for pet care. She and her husband took in our two dogs for the night. They had loads of walks, fun, and cuddle time. Her backyard is a dream for any dog. Eryn was responsive and sent many photos and updates. I was confident that they pups were in great hands! I highly recommend Eryn for any dog needs. She is the real deal!
This was our first time leaving our dog Charlie since we lost her big brother, so we were a little nervous. Kevin and Kandace were amazing and very quickly set us at ease! We loved getting pictures to regularly update us on her adventures with them, and she came home happy as can be! Will definitely be booking again in the future :)
Nikolaj took excellent care of my senior bichon mix, boarding him over a weekend while I was traveling. My older dog can get anxious but Nikolaj handled it perfectly and my dog was so happy in all the photos he sent. I 100% recommend him, as he is extremely responsive and professional.
Juneau has stayed with Jennie a couple of times now and is so at home there. We do not worry at all when we’re away because we know Juneau is in the best hands. Jennie is super communicative and takes su b good care of our girl. She can’t wait for her next stay at Jennie’s!
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience with my dog sitter/boarding service. Matt was communicative and kind which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands while I was away. He went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt comfortable and loved while providing updates along the way. I really appreciated the photos and videos. I highly recommend Matt’s services to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet care.
