“Kelsey was caring and attentive for all Stella needs; a huge relief for us. Looking forward to our next trip knowing Stella will be happy and well cared for.”
“We are so grateful to have found Kelsey. Her knowledge and expertise gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were on vacation. Timber was cared for like a family member.”
“Sarah took excellent care of my dog Kawai. Kawai came home happy and exhausted from all the playing she enjoyed at Sarah’s ! Sarah had great communication prior and throughout the reservation. Thank you Sarah!”
“Virginia took great care of our puppy while we were away. I highly recommend her. We felt great knowing that she was in a loving home with sweet people.”
“Rachael is a great sitter for our two dogs. She updated us on how they were doing daily. She also responds promptly about any questions I have. She loved on our two babies well while we were away.”
“Sara and Cannon took great care of my dog for 2 nights while we were away. They were quick to respond and send updates. My dog doesn't like to eat sometimes when he stays at Rovers, and they were able to make him feel comfortable enough to eat. He also can be a little weird about some of others, especially larger ones. But they have a smart separation and introduction system, so my dog warmed up nicely and got along well with all the other dogs and enjoyed playing. My dog really enjoyed snooping around their fenced backyard too! I recommend Sara for sitting your dog!”
About: I have been caring for dogs since 2016. I have experience with high maintenance dogs that require special medications and help going potty outside. I have time to play, snuggle, and take dogs for hikes. I have experience potty training animals and have been successful potty training several seniors. I prefer small to medium sized dogs, but I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. They must be okay with small dogs, as I have two Chihuahuas of my own. I allow my dogs on the bed, but if you prefer your dog not be on the bed, that can be arranged. I currently don't work and therefore can spend most of my time with the animals, aside from my regular chores, like cleaning house and shopping. My home doesn't have a fence, but if your dog has any issues with running away, they will be on a leash when outside. When we hike, your dog will always be on a leash, or in a back pack specially made to handle small to medium dogs. Length of hikes will be based on your dog's endurance level. I always carry plenty of water. I am very attentive to animal language and watch for behaviors like heavy breathing, excessive panting, lip licking, excessive yawning, or other obvious signs of distress such as limping or lethargy. I watch for these behaviors during all activities, even if we are simply relaxing. When we set up an appointment, I will want to know what to do during an emergency, beyond calling you. I will want their vaccine status, as I will only accept vaccinated dogs unless they are too young. I will also want to know how often they hike and for what distance. If they are crate trained, I will need their crate. We can work out the details, depending on your dog's needs. I am very flexible and I want to do what is right for you and your dog.

Peter sent us pictures and was very responsive with questions. It’s so nice to find a pet sitter we trust! Thank you Peter!!”
“We highly recommend Lisa as a pet sitter! She took care of our dog, Mr. Beckett while we were out of town. Not only did she provide excellent care for Mr. Beckett, but she also went above and beyond to ensure he felt loved and comfortable while we were away. We enjoyed the daily texts and pictures showing us he was safe and having a great time. Our nervousness about leaving Mr. Beckett for the first time was greatly reduced after we saw how well he was doing with her. Lisa would take him and her dog Ollie on daily adventures at the local parks. He enjoyed playing with Ollie and seemed very happy there. We will gladly use Lisa’s services in the future, she is trustworthy, loving and very in tune to our dog’s needs.”
