1. Michelle & Ken G.

“Michelle and Ken were great. One of our cats is very high maintenance with feeding and medications, and they handled her wonderfully. They left our house in better shape than they found it, and they communicated with us frequently while we were away. Highly recommend!”


2. Carolyn D.

“Carolyn was great with our older pup! She kept us up to date on how things were going and sent daily pictures. We returned home to a happy dog! We will certainly book with her again.”


3. Alex K.

“Alex was fantastic with our dog Livvy for a long 10 days stay. Livvy seemed happy and well cared for as did our house. Alex sent lots of updates and was easy to communicate with. Will certainly have her stay again!”


4. Leilani W.
“Lani is a great dog walker. My 32 pound labradoodle loves her. She is comfortably affectionate with Pippi and even gives her belly rubs which my dog loves. She takes her on great walks on different trails near by in the woods. She lets Pippi get in a whole lot of sniffing - one of her favorite things to do. And she sends me great photos of Pippi enjoying herself, even if she’s smelling rocks! Lani is incredibly reliable in all kinds of weather. Even on the worst days of winter, she was here. Lani is a dedicated dog walker. I am sorry that I no longer need her to walk my aging fur baby. I have regained my strength with months of OT after a devastating fall. Now I can return to walking Pippi full time. Pippi and I will both miss Lani. She will work hard for Rover and will represent you well wherever she goes.”


5. Moriah S.

“We booked with Moriah for a two night overnight stay in our home for our two dogs. We booked very last minute, for the Fourth of July holiday, and Moriah was able to make herself available to help us! We got a great vibe from Moriah right away during our meet and greet, she communicated with us the entire time we were away, and handled our two rowdy dogs perfectly. It was so nice to be able to go away and not worry about the pups. We can’t recommend Moriah enough, and hope to have her again in the future for any dog sitting needs. Thank you, Moriah!”


6. Mark C.

“Mark was wonderful and very responsive. He kept me updated with any issues and was kind and caring towards my dog. I can’t say enough good things about the care he took with Boomer. I am thankful that he was able to watch Boomer and have already booked him again!”


7. Benjamin S.

“These guys were fantastic. Great communication and they took great care of our puppy. Thanks again!”


8. Peter & Sarah P.

“We just can’t say enough great things about Peter and his care for our dog while we were away on vacation. He listened to us, really wanting to understand how best to connect with our skittish but super sweet pup and he bonded really quickly with him that gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Peter sent daily updates with photos and videos so we could see just how great everything was going. We have another trip planned for later in the year and have already booked Peter and Sarah because they are the best!”


9. Sue C.

“Great, consistent communication, sent photos of my Kitty daily, along with updates. My cat is very skittish around people but Sue was eventually able to pet her, which is a big win.”


10. Anesa L.

“Anesa did such a great job. Our puppies are rescues and be apprehensive at first. She did a great job at letting them warm up to her. Much appreciated!”


11. Lily S.

“Lily was fantastic! We booked last minute and she was very accommodating. She even brought toys and treats for our pups. Would definitely book with Lily again!”


12. Kassiopeia S.
About: We (myself, my nine-year old daughter, and our beagle) love to be active; truck rides to shady spots of water on hot days, to snowshoeing fun on trails in the winter (short walks around the neighborhood and “brain puzzles” take the cake for rainy days). We have learned new tricks and training skills through classes with a certified trainer. I am by no means a decorated professional, but I am educated and experienced with dogs. No more than one family of dogs at a time for services (up to 2 dogs). I prefer to keep our daily group small, and more one-on-one. Whether I’m there to hang out with your pup, or to take them out and about for the day, potty breaks are a must. If the weather is nice, we may spend our entire time outside! Please let me know if my beagle is okay to come with, or if your dog would do best without a four-legged friend.


13. Abby W.

“We have several animals that Abby cared for while we were on vacation. She did an excellent job caring for them and communicating throughout the week. I was especially worried about our Great Dane puppy because she can be a handful but Abby handled it all no problem!”


14. Mike G.
“There’s no one our dogs love more than Mike! He is the most trustworthy and caring pet sitter we have ever had. As soon as our dogs hear his name they run to the door and are so excited to see him. He goes above and beyond with his care and love for the animals. Way beyond the basic necessities they need he takes them on extra special outings and all the love and cuddles they can handle.cannot recommend Mike enough for the care of all animals.”


15. Chelsey M.

“Chelsey was great! I needed to find someone on short notice and she did the job for me. My dogs warmed up to her right away and she touched base with me and responded to my messages while she was watching them. I felt really comfortable leaving my dogs and my home in her hands”


16. Effie M.

“Effy is wonderful. She took great care of my meatball including following all medication Instructions. She went above and beyond . I highly recommend and will request Effys services for all my future needs.”


17. Tabbi W.

“Tabbi was great with my little Nahla! Everything was left just as it was when I left you could hardly tell she was there 😀 Will definitely book with her again.”


18. Daniel G.

“Danny was awesome with our German Shepherd mix rescue pup! She can be timid around new people and she warned up to him very quickly! He was responsive and sent photos and updates! We’ll be using him as a sitter again soon!”


19. Hannah A.
About: Hi! We are Hannah and Abraham! Not only do we love dogs, we also know how to communicate and be responsible caregiver! We have 2 dogs of our own and the desire to better communicate with our dogs have naturally led me to study/take training classes to understand their language, their needs, and just to be a good and responsible dog parents. Hannah is good at understanding dog’s cue and quick at understanding what they are expressing, which is crucial when taking care of any dog. And Abraham is natural at playing with dog with different kinds of stimulating plays. We work remotely from home, which allows us to spend the whole day with the dogs. We think it’s a blessing, and we wanted to extend our cares to our neighbors. We can always be in the dog’s presence and actively engage with them(play, training, walk). We respect all dog owners and their boundaries. Personally we exclusively use positive reinforcement method, but if you have your own boundaries/method that you are working on let me know so we can best honor that during our boarding/daycare service. Being away from home for dogs can be very stressful. Our foremost priority is to let them ease into a new environment at their own pace. This is important especially if we take care of your pet recurrently- so we can build trust and our house becomes a place to rest and have fun, a place that dogs are excited to come back to. I am also very good with shy dogs. For Boarding service •I require everyone to bring their crate for safety reason (for under 20lbs dog we can provide a crate), it’s always better to give your pups an option to be in their own crate when they need space when away from home. And also, when I go to bed, they will be crated because I won’t be able to watch them so they stay safe. •You are required to bring your pup’s food. They might have allergy. •I let the dogs out for potty break every 3 hours. Let me know if your dog potty situation so I can accommodate.


20. Alicia M.
About: I have had a dog my whole life. I have watched many of my neighbors dogs throughout my growing up. Instead of baby sitting I was always a dog sitter. I developed my love for dogs at the age of two when I got my first puppy and from then my love has only grown. I think it is very important to socialize your animals no matter the age. Having a very energetic 7 year old puggle of my own (who just passed) reminded me of my love for dogs and how much I enjoy their company. I hope to be able to provide some socialization and exercise to you pup! They will be happier and more loving when you come home after having a fun and productive day with me. I am completely available for your pets needs! Pets are family members too and I strive to provide them with the utmost care as if they were a part of my family in a daily basis Dogs are allowed on furniture and bed. Of course if you don’t want that I can stick to your rules as well. I will always follow your routine as provided.
