“Niki has been so helpful with our dogs. One is elderly and has been watched by her many times. This recent trip was the first time we also left our 4 yr old lab for an extended amount of time. Niki took the time to make sure our lab got exercise and both of our girls were in great spirits on our return. Everything went great!!”


“Easily the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! She’s so attentive to Nejis habits and needs. She cares for my dog like he’s her own, and I would recommend her to anyone! :)”


“Shyanne is so incredible, and I couldn't be happier that I found her! She took amazing care of my girl and gave the cutest updates and pictures. My cat loved her check-ins, and I was able to travel worry-free knowing she was in good hands. She was diligent about checking each time on recent health concerns. I also came back from.my trip to find that Shyanne had also taken the trash out. She definitely knows what she's doing when watching our most loved family member.”


About: Life-long dog owner, lover and trainer. My Aussie, Huck, is an experienced and friendly host. We host one guest dog at a time. I work from home. The yard is fenced, and there’s a handy window for watching the neighborhood. We enjoy hosting and caring for social dogs, and help them feel part of the pack while you're away. There’s walking, running and playing catch, and car rides for those who like them. I work part time from home, and have lots of time for dogs. I typically take them with me on short errands if they enjoy that. We like our guest dogs to feel like they’re staying with a friend, and keeping the routine they’re used to as much as possible. Ideally, our house is a place they’d be happy to come back to.


“Alinda was very flexible for scheduling the meet and greet. She was responsive and sent messages and pictures for each drop in appointment. I recommend her.”


“Shannon continues to showcase her knowledge on how to handle sensitive animals. Our little Moonshine can get anxious and moody while we're away, but we were able to trust that she would be cared for and loved by Shannon until we returned. Thank you again!”



“This was my first time to use Rover and it worked out great! Stephani took good care of my kitty and my fish! I appreciate the updates and I would definitely use Rover and Stephani again in the future!”


“Christin is so kind and helpful! She’s been amazing with my new puppy and even my incredibly shy 7 year old dog who usually takes a very long time to warm up to people! I can tell she genuinely cares and that’s invaluable to me.”


About: Hi, we’re a family of 5 in the lower Highlands area. Sadly, we lost our family dog, Friday, last year. He was a high energy husky mix. We miss him! However, we aren’t ready to commit to adopting another dog just yet. We’d love to watch yours though! We are right across from Harrison hollow and we’re an active, outdoor family. We’ll take great care of your pooch! My husband and I both work from home & love to get out on walks during the day. We are both very active throughout the day. We have a back yard that is fenced in & room to run around in the back. We live close to walking trails and the foothills where we will take your dog on walks.

About: I love dogs and I know that most dogs are happiest with their families. I do everything I can to help guest pups integrate into our little dog pack and feel at home while their families are away. I’ve been dogsitting for quite some time now and have experienced all shapes and sizes. I love them all and enjoy getting to know their inner personalities and puzzling out what makes them content. We strive to have so much fun that the dogs are too tired to feel too sad. About our family/home: my wife and I both work from home and have flexibility to care for pups during the day. We have a fenced yard with a dog door and are close to the river, the foothills, a friendly dog park, and a quiet neighborhood for walking. River, 8, is a retriever mix who loves hikes in the foothills and the occasional game of chase or wrestle, but is pretty mellow at home. Theo, 1, is a golden retriever who loves all dogs and people. Both dogs have lot of experience playing with other dogs and hosting dogs in their home. We typically only take dogs from one household at a time unless we have indication that the dogs will get along well. We’ve also found that we all do best if a guest dog has a warmup period. Therefore, any dogs looking for a stay longer than 48 hours will be asked to do a trial run beforehand (a day of daycare or a night of boarding). This helps us ensure a peaceful and safe environment for all dogs and has the added benefit of helping a dog feel more comfortable when they return to a familiar place for their longer stay. Because we recently added a new puppy to our home, we are more selective than normal in which dogs we can board. Dogs with a history of aggression, excessive barking, or other behavior problems are not a good fit at this time. We do offer house-sitting on a limited basis. If you have a uniquely challenging dog or specific circumstances, reach out and we will see if we can make something work! We look forward to getting to know you and your dog. My partner and I both work from home, so we have a lot of flexibility. Dog needs come first in our home and we are happy to take work breaks to play or exercise. We have a fully fenced backyard with a dog-door. We live two blocks from a park that is great for fetch. Our neighborhood is great for walks.

“This was my first time using a service like this and I was a little nervous. However, Brooke was fantastic and even made the effort for a "meet and greet" before my departure. My cats adored her and she was responsive to their needs. Would def consider booking with her again. Thanks, Brooke!”


About: I have fostered 6 different sets of kittens, and helped my friends and family dogsit for several years. My current living situation doesn't allow me to have pets of my own, but I would love to raise a pair of kittens myself one day! I love walking and running, especially when I have some encouragement from a four-legged friend. I always have my phone on me, and love taking pictures of pets being themselves! I'm very flexible right now, with no current obligations. So if you or your pet prefers early morning walks, or late night visits, I'll be there. I love spending time with pets wherever they are most comfortable. I'll respect your boundaries, let you know if I have any questions, and keep you updated with anything and everything!

“Kensey was so great! I booked her for drop in visits to feed my old kitty and clean his litter boxes. She always sent photos during her visits which gave me peace of mind during my time away. I would definitely recommend her for your next trip.”


“Nicole was great with my 2 cats! I got updates each time she did a drop in visit, plus multiple photos. She was great at communicating and the cats loved playing with her!”


“Chelsea was amazing with my 4 month old puppy Leo! She asked important questions to make sure she knew all about him prior to watching him, and even came over to meet him. She sent lots of pictures of Leo having fun, and gave him lots of treats and loves. It was so hard for me to leave my puppy, but I knew he was in such great hands with Chelsea. Could not recommend her enough!”
