“Shona was very patient with Bruce and gave him the cuddles and attention he loves. The yard and playmates were great. Bruce was very tired when he got home which is always a good sign too. I will be booking with Shina again.”
“This is our first time using a boarding service through Rover and we’ve had some troubles with boarding companies in the past so we were a bit nervous leaving our pit bull. We were very happy and grateful that we managed to book with a star rated sitter like Anuja over Christmas. We were able to set up a meet and greet to make sure our pup and her got along and it was evident from that meeting that everything would be good. For the boarding itself, she was very good at sending us daily updates with pictures which was very reassuring and it looked and sounded like our pup had a great time. Overall 10/10 experience and would definitely book with Anuja again!”
“Sterling could not have been better taken care of. Irene was so wonderful and provided our little dog with the best care. There lots of photos and updates. He had the best time. I don’t think he wanted to come home.”
“Kathryn was super helpful and communicative with last minute changes that I had. She went the extra mile to do a meet and greet before the stay. She sent daily updates and I felt totally comfortable with Nala staying there! Would 10/10 recommend. This was my first experience with a Rover sitter and my dog is super timid but Kathryn gave her the attention and space she needed to finally warm up!!”
“This is the second time Nicole and Alistair have dog sat for us. Our pup was super relaxed and comfortable from the moment we arrived and very happy to see the sitters, which told me she remembered this is a safe place with nice people. I was traveling abroad with limited communication, but I felt comfortable that my pup was in good hands. I would definitely book with Nicole and Alistair again.”
“Nicole took really good care of our mini Aussie. He seemed to gel right away with her dogs and with her. We got regular updates that allowed us to enjoy our time away without worry. Thanks so much Nicole.”
“Sharla has an awesome location to take care of dogs, fully fenced and a ton of room, and she is so good with them! Gabriel is a very high energy golden and he had an absolute blast the two days he was there. After I picked him up he slept all the way back to Grande Prairie and then crashed on his bed for the rest of the evening which doesn't happen often ! Highly recommend !”
“Belinda and Brent took care of our girl Ella over Christmas while we were away. They always take such great care of her and treat her like a member of their family! We get lots of pictures and updates and can tell that she is happy and loved. We had some flight delays and they were so accommodating to keep her a bit longer to help us out! We can’t recommend Belinda and Brent enough, and their little fellow who becomes Ella’s best friend each visit :) thank you!”
“Tracy was just as expressed in her add. A wonderful dog lover. She has her own little Shaylee, and grandchildren who are very gentle with dogs. Maggie was happy to be there and well cared for. I received texts and photos about her stay.”
“Michelle and her family are wonderful! Our dog Millie settled in quickly and had the best week. We would recommend her to anyone, and look forward to a future booking! 🐾”
“Diane is the best dog sitter that ever existed! I can’t say enough good things and am so glad I left my old man Dexter in her care. The only reason to possibly give a bad review is so she won’t be all booked up when my dog needs her”
“I am so pleased with Rudy and Michelle. Our dog Maci was so well taken care of. I was so worried and anxious about leaving her for two weeks but they made it so pleasant. They sent me lots of videos and pictures of Maci and her adventures with Rudy, Michelle and there two dogs, Maci’s playmates. Thank you Rudy and Michelle!!”
“We cannot say enough great things about Riley, he & his family took the most wonderful care of our boy!! Nitro is a senior dog with some behaviour quirks, health issues & separation anxiety, so I was very anxious about finding the right fit. Riley was so kind, conscientious, & understanding about all of the above. We had consistent updates & photos to know how he was doing, & see him enjoying plenty of walks & quality time. It really put my mind at ease for our first time ever boarding him. Don't hesitate to put your trust in Riley, there's no doubt that we will be repeat clients as well 😊”
“Beatrix spent her first day with Murray And Patricia and came home a very happy girl! She was calm and relaxed when she came home, and I could tell that she had a busy day playing with a lot of new friends! Wonderful experience for both of us”
“We are so grateful for the warm and loving care our pup received while in Lis' care. Her house is lovely and welcoming, her yard large and enclosed, and she has the best dog toys! Thank you Lis for your frequent communication over the weekend, and flexibility in hours. We had a great time away knowing our pup was in such good hands ❤️”
“Gabby has a lovely family who obviously care very much about our dog and looked after him brilliantly. She has excellent communication and our dog loved being in her lovely home. Highly recommended”
“My pups enjoyed their week long stay away from home. They were well taken care of and were so well behaved (even better than at home) while with this wonderful couple! Will definitely be booking again, no questions asked! Thanks so much for the looking after my babies!”
“Kristina and her family were amazing with our golden retriever. We left Ellie with them for 3 nights and she sent several photos and updates throughout her stay. Ellie was all smiles and was treated like their own. I would highly recommend Kristina to anyone needing over night care for their pup.”
“Crusher loved his stay with Julia and her pup! He was taken care of really well, she sent us lots of photos which eased our mind while he was with her and he didn’t want to come back home with us after. Highly recommend Julia, thanks for keeping our pup safe!”

“Karla was so wonderful to check in on our cat over the holidays. She is very loving and attentive, I loved that she always sent photos and videos of her visits. Would absolutely book with her again!”
“Iris did a great job visiting our 3 cats, making sure their food/water/litter were full/clean and making them feel loved. We loved receiving photo updates of each one on our trip! One of our cats needed extra attention and Iris was able to make sure he was looked after. Would use her again! Thanks Iris!”
“Deliah was amazing. She was able to overcome the personality/attitude of our one kitty. Our kitties are both on medications and can be a lot to manage, Deliah did great. . She communicated very well with us and our neighbour that had to fill in the medication gabs when Deliah was at work. It was great coming home to a clean house, it was like she was never here. Deliah did a fantastic job. We definitely will be reaching out to her again when we need a house/kitty sitter. Highly recommend her, your house and fur babies will be in great hands.”

“Our dog Ollie seemed to be super happy when we picked him up! They made sure to ask for any instructions for our dog and had plenty of space to separate Ollie from another dog they were watching. They let Ollie outside several times which he loves and they were great people to contact they answered right away and were friendly! I would definitely book with them again!”
“Harika is an excellent sitter. I contacted her to dog sit (with drop off in 30 minutes) and she responded promptly and accepted my request. Then later I asked for an hour extension and she accommodated me. I ended up being an extra half hour. During my dog’s stay (5 1/2 hrs) she sent me many pictures, fed and walked my dog. The home is very nice and clean. I would absolutely request services again when I have to be in Edmonton. Thanks again!”
“Riley took such great care of Finn - 2 walks, lots of treats and toys, and lots of photo updates that brightened my work day :) Would absolutely recommend for day care and would book again!”
“As a first time fur parent I am greatful that we found Elizabeth to watch Toffy! She took such amazing care of him and sent us pictures throughout the stay. We could tell by the photo that he was having a great time. We will definitely be rebook her again and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and caring home to leave their fur babies while they are away.”
“Amazing couple to have chosen to take care of my dog. I’ve never left him with strangers before so I was a little nervous, but I couldn’t have asked for better people. They kept me updated all day with texts, pictures, videos. They took him in their yard to play, out for walks, and treated him like their own. Wonderful people to trust with your furbabies”
“Kathryn and Jean-Marc were wonderful hosts to Heidi, they were very attentive and patient and gave her nice long walks even in the rain. Heidi clearly adored them and we would definitely recommend them :)”

“This was Kuma’s first daycare experience! Amanda was a super great host. Very understanding of the puppy type my dog is and knowing how to cater to it. Kuma was met with other friendly dogs who he had tons of play time with. He surely came out super pooped when we got home! Would highly recommend Amanda as safe and welcoming place to stay for any dog!”
“Excellency place. My English is not good so I can't express well enough how grateful I am with Sharla but She is amazing. I received Romero’s photos at different times of the day with updates about my baby's journey wich made me feel sure that he was receiving really good care. I hardly recommend Sharla.”

About: Hello! My name is Alex and I would love to look after your pup! I have two dogs and a cat. Roscoe is 10, Coach is 3 and Jojo my cat is 3. All of them are friendly and we ensure that all animals are safe. I work from home full time so I am able to always be around to monitor your pup! Roscoe is very easy going with a great temperament that gets along with all different breeds of dogs. Coach is a typical lab--loves to run and is high energy. He loves to play with other pups so hopefully your dog is okay with that! We live in a house with a fenced backyard! Plenty of room for your pup to run around :) I have had a dog in my life since I was 15 years old, and I am very versed with all different breeds and temperaments. I believe in providing a warm, loving household that makes a dog feel at ease! I promise to treat your dog with the same love and respect as I treat my own :) I currently work from home, so I am home all of the time. I usually take the dogs out to the backyard multiple times a day, especially if it's gorgeous out, to throw the ball with them or bask in the sun. Jojo, my cat, has a catio, so she's often watching everyone outside, too! I live with my partner and our two dogs and cat. My partner also loves pets so he also is here to administer pets and food! We just love all animals so we will treat your dog the way we treat our own!
About: I have been taking care of pets for 10 years. Always with great care and attention. I play, take care of, walk, brush with happiness and enthusiasm! I work from home and I can fit it in almost every weekday schedule. On weekends, I can only fit it in if pet's parents really need it, because on weekends, I dedicate my time to my family (including my pets) and my hobbies like flag football and volleyball. I will go to your house and take care of your pets with great dedication and attention. I do not receive them at home because I do not have a yard and also because I have 2 cats that do not like other 4-legged companions and I respect.
About: I have two dogs, Benny and Leo. Both of them are dog social and friendly. They are both certified wellness dogs and compete in barn hunt trials. Benny knows over 100 tricks (and still learning!) and Leo is also competing in rally obedience trials. We are constantly working towards furthering our training. I use force free and positive reinforcement for training methods. Our days rotate through training, play and rest! I promise a 1:1 training session (topic of choice) and a 30 minute solo walk per day and many many photo updates! I have a fully fenced yard and I take my boys to a private dog park twice a week to run like maniacs. Your dog would be included in all our activities and regular routine! I do require dogs to be crate trained for their stay - both my dogs take an afternoon nap and this allows for me to do the solo walks with each dog. I do expect dogs to be dog social or dog neutral. Safety for all the dogs in my care is my top priority. Our instagram is bennyplusleo if you wanted to see more of how I train and what our days normally look like! I offer day training and boarding from my home. My schedule is made around the needs of the dogs in my care! Dogs will not be left alone for more than 3-4 hours at a time at maximum. Typically we will start the day with some play and then move to 1:1 training sessions for breakfast. Dogs are free to roam my house and can decide to play or lounge. We do a mid day nap for everyone where I will take turns walking the dogs individually. Once all the dog walks are complete the dogs are welcome to free roam the house again to play or relax. I will also use this time to do additional afternoon training sessions! • I try to dog proof my home as much as possible. I have rugs across my main floor to avoid slips. There is nothing out or close to counter edges that your dog can get into. • Dogs are always supervised during playtime, in my backyard or in the basement. I also have motion sensored lights for our potty patch for night time potty. My side yards have additional pens to help prevent dogs from potentially escaping the gates. • All meals are given to each dog separately to ensure that no resource guarding occurs. I have a variety of pens, gates and crates to keep everyone separate when they are being fed.
“Jason was unbelievably kind, and willing to take on our girl with high anxiety who can be a bit challenging, without hesitation. He is very responsive, and I never had any doubts about trusting him with our girl. We were travelling to the area, but if we’re ever back in Edmonton, I would 100% use Jason again!”
About: I’ve taken care of many cats and dogs over the past 10 years. Dogs have ranged from puppies to older aged dogs. I have owned and cared for many cats over the years as well. Because of my years of experience with animals I know the kind of care and attention they need very well. I have an enormous love for all animals and will make sure your pets are loved, welcomed, and comfortable in my home. I am a stay at home mom and I work just a few hours a week from home. I have lots of free time to spend with your beloved pets at home and give them all the care they need during the days. I have a newer built 2300 sq ft home where there’s lots of space for your pup to roam around. Also a spacious yard that’s fully fenced for them to run freely and many walking paths in the neighbourhood for enjoyable walks. It is myself, my 4 year old daughter, and our cat at home. My daughter is well behaved and absolutely loves all animals and will help give them lots of extra attention and play time. My cat is friendly and easy going. He has lived with other cats and dogs previously in our home and did very well with them. My home is clean, well kept, and smoke free. I’m sure your fur babies will love their time spent there!
About: Animals have always been a part of my life. All of my own pets were adopted. Rescue animals hold a special place in my heart and helped build the foundation of my experience working with animals that have a wide range of temperaments, backgrounds, and needs. I’m often the person friends and family rely on when they need a trustworthy pet sitter, and I currently provide multiple dog walks daily for repeat clients. These households include small, medium, and large breeds, some with multiple dogs in the home. I focus on caring for one pet household at a time, which allows me to give each pet consistent attention and maintain their normal routine. I regularly care for dogs with very different personalities and energy levels—from playful puppies to calm seniors. I also have experience supporting dogs recovering from injuries, caring for pets that require medication, and working with anxious or reactive dogs. Animals tend to respond well to my calm, patient energy. I’m very attentive to body language and behavior, which helps me respond appropriately if a dog is unsure, stressed, or needs reassurance. My goal is always to maintain each pet’s normal routine and provide calm, consistent care so they feel safe and comfortable. I communicate clearly with owners, send regular updates and photos, and treat every pet and home with respect. Reliability is extremely important to me. Before the first booking, I take time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and needs so their day, walks, and care stay as normal and predictable as possible. Please request a meet-and-greet before new bookings to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. While dogs are my primary focus, I’m also happy to care for cats and make sure they receive the same attentive and reliable care. I’m available seven days a week for walks and drop-ins, making it easy to fit care around your schedule. My flexibility allows me to respond to your pet’s needs whenever they arise. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I communicate clearly with owners and treat every pet and home as if it were my own. I always share updates and photos so owners can see their pets are doing well and happy. I focus on caring for one pet household at a time, which allows me to give each pet consistent attention while maintaining their normal routine so they are comfortable. I take the time to understand each pet’s temperament, preferences, special needs, triggers and routine so they feel safe. During walks and visits, I stay attentive to their behavior and the environment, making sure they’re stress-free. In clients’ homes, I follow instructions carefully, respect routines, and maintain a calm atmosphere. Please request a meet and greet prior to booking, to ensure you and your pets are comfortable and it’s a good fit for everyone.

About: I have been working with animals for as long as I can remember. My mom and I fostered dogs when I was young and I started dog walking and pet sitting on my own around 10 years old. I have experience with senior dogs and puppies as well as administering medication. My own family dog was a pet therapy dog and I did the training to be a certified handler with her. I currently am in University and work part time but I set up my schedule to be able to check in between classes or in between school and work. I am very flexible and willing to accommodate whatever your pets needs are if that means multiple walks a day or playing in the yard. For walks I have experience working with leash pullers so that’s not an issue. I am used to having to provide care on a set schedule or a more flexible one as well.
About: I have been working for Edmonton humane Society for 4 years. Prior to that I have fostered many cats, kittens and rabbits. I live on a small acreage and own 2 dogs, 3 cats, 3 Rabbits, 2 tortoises, chickens and ducks. I have also volunteered for several animal rescues.

I have training in fear free animal interactions and am very experienced reading animal body language.
About: I’ve had my best friend, Ash, since I was 10. Almost 12, he’s as lively as ever! I had also adopted Dart last year, a 10 year old pointer with anxiety - I have had the privilege of watching him grow and bloom into his instincts and training! I’ve also worked professionally with dogs for over two years and specifically would be tasked to handle dogs with special needs, whether that be behavioural or medical. I can connect with dogs and read them incredibly easy. I’m very patient as well and have no fear when dealing with less trusting or “feistier” dogs. I also understand how busy life can get, especially when unexpected hurdles come your way. I am especially offering services for pet parents who are looking for super last minute help. I’m more than happy to share a more specific version of my availability if you think you’ll need last minute care in the near future. I also especially love senior dogs and can manage their specific health and behavioural needs with ease. :) Hi! I’m a student with two pups of my own. I would love to help others struggling with busy schedules give their pups the best life they deserve! I have pretty open availability, and really only have my own pup’s schedule to work around (which isn’t too hard). Come September, I’ll have a lot of daytime free time and may be able to adjust my schedule for last minute bookings or work out a weekly routine that works for the both of us. I’d be great for last-minute bookings, most especially for dog walking and drop-ins. I am also more than happy to negotiate pricing and cater it to your pups needs! :) ** I will accept short-term boarding under certain circumstances (typically if you’re experiencing an emergencies and need short term pet care ASAP). This is not preferred for me, hence the pricing. I’m very respectful of others spaces and will be able to recognize and learn the routines of your pup pretty quick! Special instructions are no stranger to me, so ask away!! I want to replicate their regular routine as much as possible to cause the least amount of stress :)
“Zenna has been great with Hank! It is clear she has experience dealing with dogs and using positive reinforcement for improving leash skills. Hank loves spending time with Zenna and always looks forward to seeing her!”
“Karla was very kind and attentive to detail. I felt comfortable giving her directions about how to care for my dogs and she kept me updated throughout her time with them. She also kindly shared her coupon to help make the service more affordable for me which I really appreciated as a student. She checked in after the visit as well to make sure I was satisfied with how she left the dogs and my home and I really appreciated her help! I knew Jasper and Ruby were being well taken care of, thank you Karla!”

I do not take care of spiders or snakes. I have worked in various Doggy Daycares and Dog boarding along with pet sitting in my home for various companies in and around Calgary. I have my Pet First Aid and in the middle of getting my Dog Training Certificate. I have taught a 4 year old 60lb Shepherd not to pull - it isn’t easy but it is doable! I volunteered in a vet clinic and have knowledge administering medication orally and through injection I have 1 dog ; Jasper is a Border Collie x Havanese that is 10 years old and a retired service dog. I have trained Jasper to be my husbands service dog for his Type 1 Diabetes, using my own techniques following Karen Pryor methods, I do not agree with Cesar Milan and will not use his techniques. I am very active person that does not stay home any day of the week. I am constantly with my dog and kids which includes going to the river, dog park and various walks in the parks. I am available everyday of the week, my dog(s) are never left alone longer than an hour and most times come with me for a safe car ride! I am excited to chat with you about your pup! I love to talk about dogs ❤️ I’m currently a stay at home mother with my 3 year old son and my 16 month old daughter, I have plenty of time throughout the day to care for all your pets needs as I always in cooperate the pets into my schedule around my children. All animals are family to me, they are my fur babies and will always give above excellent care. They will not be left outside unattended ever and I will spend every minute with them.
About: A lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for all pets, homes, and farm animals. I’m reliable, have my own transportation, and offer flexible, short-notice availability. I have no problem administering medication or taking the time to work on training. Your furry (or scaly!) companions will be well cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—it’s something I truly enjoy. From walking dogs and feeding animals to providing companionship, I build my schedule around each pet’s needs. I’m flexible and committed to making sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and affection they need, whether it’s a quick visit or a longer stay. When caring for pets in your home, I stick to their routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow feeding and exercise schedules, handle medications or special care, and keep your home clean and secure. I tailor my care to each pet’s needs, from playful puppies to senior or special-needs pets.
About: I’m a reliable and compassionate pet caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for my own animals, along with professional experience working in an animal hospital. This has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and safety, as well as the ability to stay calm and attentive in any situation. I treat every pet as if they were my own—making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away I’m currently working part time serving so my schedule is pretty flexible just waiting to go to school in the fall. I’m always able to work around schedules and what works best for the owner. I’m very attentive when it comes to all types of animals. We have a fenced in yard but live on acreage so my pets have a lot of area to run and play but also no chance of them getting lost because they also are trained. I make sure there are no dangerous areas around my home from sharp corners to things on the ground. My dogs constantly have water but are on a strict eating schedule. My cats are fed at all times and also have water at all times. My dogs and cats usually have a goo rotation when it comes to toys I get them ones that won’t harm them if they rip them apart, but if they do I will buy them a new one. I’d say there pretty spoiled animals but when you love them doesn’t seem like work at all.
About: I've been fortunate enough to care for many different animals since I was 12 years old. I've been blessed enough to experience growing up with cats, dogs, peacocks, rabbits, chickens, buggie and many more beautiful and equally unique animals. I'm addition, neighbours, friends and family have relied on me many times to pet sit, walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I'm currently homeschooling my grade 2 kid which usually only takes up 20 to 30 minutes of our day so I have plenty of time to play with and care for your furry or feathered babies. I have fenced yard and a very friendly cat and dog to keep your fur or feathered babies company. Both are very accustomed to growing up around different species of animals we've sat or fostered. My cat has a very large catio he loves to sit in during the day and usually perches himself on his cat castle by the window inside the house for naps or people watching (his favorite thing to do). He loves other animals and is very affectionate and protective towards them, he's a very docile breed and way too friendly for his own good. I do have a crate for dog and spare rooms for cats if a slower introduction is needed. My home is pretty pet friendly and clean and everybody in here will never be short of love, food and affection.
About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with an 8 year old Rottweiler named Pablo. As well as 2 cats, Ginny & Alfie! They’re the closest things to children I have, and I love them deeply. I understand the importance of finding someone who will care for your furry family members in the same way! I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give your fur babies ample attention, love and the care they deserve. Love the outdoors, especially long walks! I’d love to provide your pets with the same care, love, patience and attention I give my own! :) I’m a relator with a vast knowledge of Edmonton and greater areas. This allows me to have an extremely flexible schedule that can serve me and you well! I have a fenced yard and a friendly pup as well as two cats that keep to their lonesome. A big yard and a calming environment. Can crate as per request!

“Shona was very patient with Bruce and gave him the cuddles and attention he loves. The yard and playmates were great. Bruce was very tired when he got home which is always a good sign too. I will be booking with Shina again.”
“This is our first time using a boarding service through Rover and we’ve had some troubles with boarding companies in the past so we were a bit nervous leaving our pit bull. We were very happy and grateful that we managed to book with a star rated sitter like Anuja over Christmas. We were able to set up a meet and greet to make sure our pup and her got along and it was evident from that meeting that everything would be good. For the boarding itself, she was very good at sending us daily updates with pictures which was very reassuring and it looked and sounded like our pup had a great time. Overall 10/10 experience and would definitely book with Anuja again!”
“Kathryn was super helpful and communicative with last minute changes that I had. She went the extra mile to do a meet and greet before the stay. She sent daily updates and I felt totally comfortable with Nala staying there! Would 10/10 recommend. This was my first experience with a Rover sitter and my dog is super timid but Kathryn gave her the attention and space she needed to finally warm up!!”
“This is the second time Nicole and Alistair have dog sat for us. Our pup was super relaxed and comfortable from the moment we arrived and very happy to see the sitters, which told me she remembered this is a safe place with nice people. I was traveling abroad with limited communication, but I felt comfortable that my pup was in good hands. I would definitely book with Nicole and Alistair again.”
“Nicole took really good care of our mini Aussie. He seemed to gel right away with her dogs and with her. We got regular updates that allowed us to enjoy our time away without worry. Thanks so much Nicole.”
“Sharla has an awesome location to take care of dogs, fully fenced and a ton of room, and she is so good with them! Gabriel is a very high energy golden and he had an absolute blast the two days he was there. After I picked him up he slept all the way back to Grande Prairie and then crashed on his bed for the rest of the evening which doesn't happen often ! Highly recommend !”
“Belinda and Brent took care of our girl Ella over Christmas while we were away. They always take such great care of her and treat her like a member of their family! We get lots of pictures and updates and can tell that she is happy and loved. We had some flight delays and they were so accommodating to keep her a bit longer to help us out! We can’t recommend Belinda and Brent enough, and their little fellow who becomes Ella’s best friend each visit :) thank you!”
“Michelle and her family are wonderful! Our dog Millie settled in quickly and had the best week. We would recommend her to anyone, and look forward to a future booking! 🐾”
“I am so pleased with Rudy and Michelle. Our dog Maci was so well taken care of. I was so worried and anxious about leaving her for two weeks but they made it so pleasant. They sent me lots of videos and pictures of Maci and her adventures with Rudy, Michelle and there two dogs, Maci’s playmates. Thank you Rudy and Michelle!!”
“Beatrix spent her first day with Murray And Patricia and came home a very happy girl! She was calm and relaxed when she came home, and I could tell that she had a busy day playing with a lot of new friends! Wonderful experience for both of us”
“We are so grateful for the warm and loving care our pup received while in Lis' care. Her house is lovely and welcoming, her yard large and enclosed, and she has the best dog toys! Thank you Lis for your frequent communication over the weekend, and flexibility in hours. We had a great time away knowing our pup was in such good hands ❤️”
“My pups enjoyed their week long stay away from home. They were well taken care of and were so well behaved (even better than at home) while with this wonderful couple! Will definitely be booking again, no questions asked! Thanks so much for the looking after my babies!”
“Kristina and her family were amazing with our golden retriever. We left Ellie with them for 3 nights and she sent several photos and updates throughout her stay. Ellie was all smiles and was treated like their own. I would highly recommend Kristina to anyone needing over night care for their pup.”
“Crusher loved his stay with Julia and her pup! He was taken care of really well, she sent us lots of photos which eased our mind while he was with her and he didn’t want to come back home with us after. Highly recommend Julia, thanks for keeping our pup safe!”
“A wonderful experience booking with Virginia. We needed last minute care for our two dogs while we went out of town for ~48 hours. She was quick to respond and very accommodating. Would definitely book with Virginia again and highly recommend!”
“Elizabeth took such great care of Rambo. I was so anxious, having had a bad experience at a doggy daycare, but she sent photos daily with updates, took him on really fun adventures, and with her big back yard and lovely dogs for him to play with he had an amazing time! She even sewed the leg back onto his toy after he was playing rough with it ha ha. She is kind and has wonderful children that also loved our boy. We are grateful to have found someone so wonderful and kind!”
“Wonderful Dog sitters, they sent so many pictures and updated my family on how our dogs day was daily! I won’t hesitate to make them my first choice when I need a sitter again!”
“Rüger had a great time with Teri and her family! Mulder and Rüger must have played lots cause he was nice and tired out when we picked him up. Will definitely be using her services again. She really makes your pup feel at home and updated us with pictures and a nice message each day we were gone!”
“We left our dog and our daughter’s dog in the care of Brooke and Sebastian for 5 days. Neither dog had ever been left with anyone other than family, so this was a big deal for everyone. From the moment we met Brooke and Sebastian at the meet and greet, it was evident our dogs would be in good hands. We immediately felt comfortable, but most importantly, the dogs felt at home. Brooke and Sebastian took wonderful care of our dogs and showered them with lots of love and attention. They went on lots of walks and adventures; and we were sent plenty of updates the entire time we were gone. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for great care for their dogs, and will be sure to use them again in the future!! Thank you again!”
