“Jutharat and her husband were absolutely wonderful with our dog! She got to go on a hike, explore and play in their beautiful backyard, and spend time with their sweet dog Pippi, who was such a great companion. It was so nice knowing she had a friendly buddy to hang out with. We also really appreciated the updates and photos. It gave us so much peace of mind. Our pup came home happy. Thank you so much!”
“Jeanine was great! Incredibly warm, she absolutely loves dogs. My husband and I felt very comfortable leaving our precious dog, Maui, with her. She sent us updates every day and Maui came back a happy pup :) would highly recommend.”
“Morgan took great care of Bear while we were out of town. Provided us with updates and photos, and was accommodating when we needed to change our pick up time. Thanks!”
“Sue and Claude are great. Excellent hosts and easy communication. Felt totally comfortable leaving Sparky with them. Will definitely call on them again.”
“My dog is a high maintenance dog and we had no issues at all. Darcy new how to handle my maltese and keep her happy, with updates and photos daily as well. Thank you.”
“Our dog Melody loved her stay here. She was basically running into their house from the moment pulling up to their driveway which is unusual for her as she can be a little timid sometimes. They sent plenty of photos and our dog seemed right at home. Would recommend them to anyone. Thank you!”
“Highly recommended. Bryden and Colleen were excellent caregivers for our 9 month old pup, she even came back with new skills! Can’t thank them enough for the love they gave our fur baby.”
“Marylin was great. Our puppy can be a handful at times but Marylin didn't seemed to have any problems. Hazel came home happy. We know we can rely on Marylin. Will book with her again without question.”
“Chalan and Joel and their girls are THE BEST I have met thus far. And I have had experiences using sitter's across Canada due to our traveling schedules. Their house is clean. The whole family is just full of love for dogs. My baby is newly blind so it's hard for me to find anyone that'd be patient enough to take care of her. But after just 1 day, I know my worries are not necessary. My dog was pampered and spoiled. I highly recommend Chalan and her family.”
“10/10! Would definitely recommend & plan to repeat! Joseph & Tina took Zano into their home and showed him so much love & care. It was very evident on pick up that he was confortable and happy with them. They have a safe & fabulous set up with a large, fenced yard. Zano had ample outside time & came home tired. Joe & Tina were excellent! We felt well taken care of from their communication prior to drop off, during Zano's stay & at pick up. They went above & beyond expectations showing the highest regard for ours & Zano's needs, wishes & house rules. They were so considerate, friendly & respectful - I truly have no constructive feedback whatsoever & would 100% recommend.”
“Amy was awesome. She took great care of our dog and sent photos and daily check ins. It was obvious Freddie was comfortable with her and her home. Will definitely use her again. Highly recommended.”
“Gabrielle is sooo great and provides great warmth - in both her personality and home - for watching Rupert. Our boy had so much fun also with his good friend Juniper. On this first beautiful dat of Spring in the Okanagan, it looked like Rupert also enjoyed soaking up the sun on the balcony. Thank you so much, Gabrielle, for looking after Rupert and the great photos. Much appreciated!!”
“Suzanne took very good care of our senior dog, Pepper. She kept us updated with how he was doing over the weekend. She is a very nice person and I would recommend her to anyone who needs someone to take good care of their dog!”
“We had the absolute BEST experience with sylvie and her family! Our dog Annie was completely spoiled , it was like Annie was on a true holiday! They took her on amazing walks , swimming in the lake and so many fun adventures! Sylvie gave multiple updates and pictures daily ! And she was truly a joy to leave our dog with. I can’t recommend her enough! Thank you so so much sylvie for giving Annie the BEST time ever !”
“If I could give Cielo 10 stars I would. She was absolutely wonderful. This was my second time using rover and she put my anxiety to rest. Blue had a blast and was sad to leave his new friend. I will definitely be a repeat client. Thanks again.”
“She was absolutely amazing! She kept me updated throughout Vito’s stay with regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him, and he had such a great time playing with her sweet dog. He came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for many years. I raised my two beloved dogs, Polo, a miniature American Eskimo, and TaiTai, a Pomeranian, from the time they were puppies until they reached the wonderful ages of 17 and 16. They passed on within the last year, and I feel incredibly lucky to have shared so many years and stages of life with them. 🩷 Caring for them throughout their lives, and especially during their senior years, gave me a great deal of hands-on experience. I prepared all of their meals at home, managed their medication schedules and regular veterinary care, and supported them through mobility changes with physiotherapy, acupuncture and laser therapy. Even as they got older, I made sure they continued enjoying plenty of fresh air through walks, stroller outings and time outdoors. Over the years, I also became very tuned in to canine body language and the little signals dogs give us. I tend to notice when a dog is feeling nervous, uncomfortable, overstimulated, tired or simply needs a little more space and reassurance. Every dog has their own personality, and I believe the best care comes from paying attention and adjusting to what helps that particular dog feel safe and comfortable. 🐾😊 🩷 I only care for one small dog at a time, so your dog will be my one special guest and will receive my full attention, care and companionship throughout their stay. I welcome small adult dogs and gentle seniors of all breeds. I generally accept dogs up to approximately 20 pounds, although I may consider a slightly larger dog depending on their temperament and needs. For safety, I do not accept puppies under 10 months old.🩷 I work from home and am home most of the time, so caring for a dog fits very naturally into my daily routine. I only board one dog at a time and currently have no pets of my own, so your dog will have my full attention and all the care, companionship and affection I have to give during their stay. 😊 Their day can include regular bathroom breaks, walks, sniffing time outdoors, playtime, quiet time beside me while I work, and plenty of rest. Some dogs enjoy longer walks and exploring, while others, especially seniors, are happier with shorter outings and a slower pace. I am happy to adjust the amount of activity based on your dog’s age, energy level, mobility and normal routine.🐾 Your dog will have the run of the home and can follow me around, relax nearby while I work, play with their favourite toys or curl up wherever they feel most comfortable. I will also keep their meals, walks, bathroom breaks and bedtime routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home 🩷 Your dog will have the run of my home and will be treated like a little member of the household 🩷 Because I only board one dog at a time, my home stays quiet and peaceful, and I am able to give close attention to their comfort, eating, drinking, bathroom habits and behaviour throughout their stay. Whenever possible, I prefer to arrange a meet & greet before the first booking. This gives your dog a chance to meet me and explore the environment while you are still there. Dogs do not always understand why their person is leaving them somewhere new so I feel that a little familiarity beforehand can make the handoff less confusing and help them settle more comfortably. 😊🩷 It also gives us time to talk about your dog’s personality, routine, fears, habits, food needs and any special instructions. I will follow your care instructions closely and provide regular photos and updates so you can feel comfortable while you are away. 🩷
“Viktoriia was amazing with Otis! I got lots of updates and she was great with her communication. He was nice and tired from going to the beach and playing. I would definitely recommend her.”

“Michaela provided drop in visits to our cat while we were out of town. We felt that she was very attentive to her needs, providing her with lots of cuddles and companionship! Michaela was very easy to communicate with, arrange an intro meeting prior to our travels and gave thoughtful updates with photos after her visits. Olive has a new best friend and we are very thankful for her visits! Thank you Michaela!”
“Elizabeth has a gift with animals. She has great communication and makes you feel comfortable and confident to leave your fur babies when you have to. I highly recommend her!”
“Nicole took wonderful care of my two cats while I was away for 10 days. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure they were happy and well looked after. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I came home to two relaxed, happy cats, and everything was just as I had left it. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and I’ll definitely be asking her to watch my cats again in the future!”
“Hope took great care of our two cats while we were away. One of our cats is very shy and tends to hide, and Hope was thoughtful about feeding them separately to make sure both cats were eating properly. She sent us photos and updates of the cats, which we really appreciated, and went above and beyond with a few additional things we had asked. We would happily book Hope again. Thank you, Hope!”
“Isabella is the best! She is very responsible and personable, and took great care of my cat Gooseberry! I appreciated the pictures she provided over the weekend. Goose also liked her a lot! :)”
“Shana was amazing taking care of our shy cat, Charlie, and taking care of our house for an extended vacation. It took a bit for Charlie to open up, but Shana was patient and not too long after they definitely bonded. Shana kept us updated and took amazing care of our home. We would not hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommended.”
“Georgia was great with my cats! She was able to administer an inhaler for my senior and make sure she only had access to her special vet food. My kitten was scared at first, but quickly got attached to her. Georgia was also great with helping water plants and take garbage out while I was travelling for work. She is very responsible and I felt reassured knowing she was here to help. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have always had pets until this last year (cats and dogs). I now walk my daughters' dogs for them daily early morning, and I really enjoy having that daily connection with my furry friends! Being semi-retired I am available for consistent and reliable care. I am working from home in the mornings, and then always take my walks in the afternoons, so that is the best time for me to come to your home to walk or visit your pet. I am available for visits in West Kelowna. I can visit in your home and/or yard and also take your pet for a walk in your area.
About: I had cats all my life as a child and young adult and now love nothing more than taking care of my own kids cats when they need it. Understand the sassy ones, the cuddly ones, the hissy ones, the older lazy ones, and the cute-as-a-button ones - and love them all:)
About: I have extensive experience caring for cats, both personally and professionally, and I understand how important it is to provide not just basic care but also emotional comfort and companionship. What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep love for animals and my ability to read their body language, ensuring they feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I’m highly responsible and detail-oriented, making sure feeding schedules are followed precisely and litter boxes are kept spotless. I also have experience with cats who have unique needs, whether it’s administering medication, caring for anxious or high-energy cats, or ensuring a stress-free environment. My background in mindfulness and yoga has given me a calm, patient approach, which helps me connect with even the most timid cats. Beyond the basics, I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with pets, whether it’s playing, brushing, or simply keeping them company. I know how important it is for pet owners to feel at ease while they’re away, and I prioritize communication with regular updates and photos.
“Toni was great for x2 daily weekend drop/ins for my 2 cats. My shy 9month old kitten warmed up to her by the second visit. Easy to communicate with and took care of both cats feeding, playtime and litter box cleaning. Would recommend and hire again. Thanks Toni!”
About: I am a university student at UBCO living at home with my family and 2 dogs. This gives me the unique flexibility to stay overnight and care for pets on short notice. I have had dogs my whole life, and currently have a senior rescue, and a puppy at home. This gives me the experience I need to care for all kinds of dogs, well trained, not yet trained, puppies, seniors, rescues, purebreds etc. I have been dog and cat sitting for family friends several times a year for over 3 years since high school. I am a very responsible person, extremely reliable, and communicate well. I love the outdoors and going for walks, as well as lazy days at home. I have a very flexible school and work schedule. I am a student at UBCO and have several 3-4 hour gaps in my day which I can come home and spend time with the pets. I am done my classes around dinner time, and can come straight home for the evening. On the weekends, I am a server at a restaurant in town and generally only work 4-6 hour shifts. This means I am around for the majority of the day. I have been dog walking for many years as I have had dogs my whole life. With clients, I try and keep the pet’s routine as similar as possible to their owner’s. I like to be around as much as possible and keep the pets as comfortable as they can be while their owner is away.

When boarding dogs I would open my schedule 100% to the animals and make no additional plans to ensure your pets are my first priority.

I am a big walker so I am looking for some dogs to join me who love it just as much as I do!

“Jutharat and her husband were amazing! Our fur baby couldn’t have been in better hands. They took her on a hike and she had some friends to keep her company. I would happily use their services again.”
“Nash had a great time playing at Darcy’s and is exhausted now ha ha. He always gets excited when we drive up to her place. She takes good care of Nash. Thank you Darcy!!”
“Lovely couple with big hearts. I gave them very little notice but they were quite accommodating and helped me when I was in a bind. For that I am truly grateful. Tucker was very tired when he came home so I know he played and played.”
“We were visiting from out of town and wanted to enjoy a dinner out. I felt very comfortable with Marylin and her communication. Stanley gets anxious without us but everything worked out since Marylin also has a doxie! I would recommend Marylin if you need a dog sitter. Thanks again!”
“Jeanine was great with our little Marty. He is quite shy with separation anxiety. I used to worry leaving him at doggy day care, but I felt much better leaving him with Jeanine and Tegan. Jeanine has a large gated yard yet still went the extra mile to put up more barricades by her fence to make sure little 10 pound Marty couldn’t sneak out. We look forward to Marty spending more time with Jeanine and Tegan.”
“Sylvie was amazing to deal with from the get-go. Quick to respond, experienced, clean, comfortable environment and very friendly. She spoiled my girl, took her out for a ride in her convertible and got her a treat. I am so thankful! 5 stars, would recommend and use again!”
“Catherine is an amazing sitter. She took such good care of Stuart every day. He came home tired from hiking and play and each morning was excited to jump into her arms for a snuggle. Normally he has very bad separation anxiety and hates to leave my husband and I, so this is really saying something! Catherine will treat your pets as if they were her own.”
“From drop off to pick up everything was absolutely perfect! Pictures and videos of my fur love put me at ease. Thank you, will keep you on my list next time I need sitting. ⭐️”
“I recently visited Kelowna and needed someone to take care of my dog, Aki, on short notice. I was incredibly fortunate to find Suzanne. She was absolutely wonderful! From the moment I contacted her, she was friendly and accommodating. She took Aki in without hesitation and provided ample space for her to run and play. It was clear that she truly understands and loves dogs. Aki was well looked after, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such capable hands. I highly recommend Suzanne to anyone in need of pet care. Her kindness and dedication to Aki's well-being made all the difference during my trip.”
“Michelle took such good care of our baby girl! Penelope warmed up to her right away and Michelle sent me lots of photos throughout the day which made it easier to leave her. I will be using Michelle again!!”
“Aiden and Amy were amazing. They took such good care of my dog and were great at staying in communication so I knew he was in good hands. I highly recommend them to take care of your pet.”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for every dog I meet. I've always been a huge dog lover, and I treat every pet as if they were my own.

“My puppy Hoops had a great time today thank you so much Nancy. he’s now fast asleep after his amazing day. Thank you for all the pics that you sent during his stay. Highly recommended ?”
About: I’ve been a pet owner all my life. From mice, rats, bunnies, chickens, quail, ferrets, aquatics, birds, cats, and dogs. I’m offering a home experience. I can take Critters of all sorts anytime, however my cat or dog reservations are from one household set at a time. I have an easygoing chihuahua who gets along with everyone. A meet and greet can be set up prior to ease everyone’s comfort. He is cat savvy and believes they’re his friend, however if your feline prefers their space he can take a hint. I’m comfortable giving your pet meds. We have a cute fenced safe secure yard and nice quiet neighbourhood for walks. I’m currently home 90% of the time (though I am looking for more work outside the home part time.) Our home is very comfortable and and fur babies are a priority. We are a positive pet home. Cuddles and Netflix, yard time and walks. Plenty of one sided conversations and side eye looks. Unlike grandmas house, we do respect fur babies Mama and Papa’s rules. ;) we have fun and patience but routine is important for happy secure babies.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up on a farm with dogs and, in high school, worked as a veterinary assistant.

“Brandyn and his girlfriend Suki looked after my dog when I was passing through Kelowna for a medical appointment. It was 38° and I could never have left him in the car even in a parkade. It was such a relief knowing he was in airconditioning! He seemed quite relaxed with them which was surprising since he is an anxious dog, so clearly they have great dog vibes. I would feel very comfortable leaving Juno with them again another time.”

“Very happy using Micheala to walk our dog Ollie. He can be quite unsure about new people but she took the time to get to know him and listen to any suggestions that we had and he seems very happy with her now.”
“Jenna was amazing! Great communication and the photos she took were better than any I’ve taken. She left a report card for Millie which is the absolute cutest! She managed to take Millie farther than I can in half an hour, so I know Millie got good exercise in while I was away!”
About: I have always had a cat in my life and I have also volunteered over 200 hours caring for cats at the SPCA. I experienced a wide variety of cats, including many shy and anxious ones. While I have the most experience with cats, I would love to take your well-behaved dog for a walk or run. I am currently a student taking online courses, so I have complete flexibility for drop-in visits and walks throughout the week. I plan my schoolwork around visits so I can meet your pet’s needs and stay consistent with their routine. I’m a calm and patient person, and I always let your cat or dog approach me on their own terms. I never force interaction—I give them the space they need to feel safe and comfortable around me.
About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets for around ten years, and before that I had, and continue to, frequently house and dog sit! I am currently a student at UBCO and I am able to be quite flexible in my schedule in order to provide the care and services you may need! I can easily take care of animals with higher needs, and have experience with very high energy and moderately reactive animals! I try to be as accommodating as possible!

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I started caring for pets when I was 12, and what began as helping neighbors quickly grew into over 20 years of experience with cats, dogs, and even horses. From playful puppies to senior pets, I’ve seen it all and I know how to meet each animal where they’re at. I believe pets deserve more than just “care” — they deserve comfort, companionship, and someone who truly understands them. Whether that means long walks, gentle grooming, or just extra snuggles, I make sure every pet feels loved and safe while their people are away. You can relax knowing your pets will be treated like family, because to me, that’s exactly what they are. 🐾 Caring for others has always been at the heart of my life. I work casually as a care aid in healthcare, and caring for animals has been a constant alongside that for over 20 years. From cats and dogs to horses, I’ve loved being the person people can rely on when they need someone trustworthy and compassionate. Because my schedule is flexible, I’m able to give pets the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s keeping up with a playful pup, providing comfort to a senior cat, or just making sure your pets feel safe and loved, I treat every animal as if they were my own. When I care for pets in someone else’s home, I understand I’m being trusted with two of your most important things — your animals and your space. I take that responsibility seriously by keeping routines consistent, paying attention to details, and making sure pets and homes stay safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.

About: I have a deep love for animals and years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions. What sets me apart is my ability to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs—whether it’s providing gentle care for older animals, reinforcing training with consistency and patience, or ensuring high-energy pets get the exercise and stimulation they need. I’m also highly responsible and detail-oriented, making sure feeding schedules, medications, and routines are followed exactly as needed. Beyond basic care, I genuinely enjoy bonding with animals, offering plenty of attention, affection, and playtime to keep them happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I know how important peace of mind is when leaving a pet in someone else’s care, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep owners reassured. Whether it’s a quiet cuddle session, a structured walk, or keeping up with training cues, I tailor my care to what each pet needs most. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine as I prioritize reliability and consistency. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care, I ensure pets get the attention, exercise, and affection they need. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate various needs, from morning feedings to evening cuddles. I prioritize creating a safe, stress-free environment for every pet. I carefully follow all care instructions, maintain clean and pet-friendly spaces, and ensure routines are consistent to provide comfort and stability. Trust is key—I communicate regularly with owners, respect their home, and always prioritize a pet’s well-being and security.

I have a large home with a fenced yard, and a Mini Aussie Shepherd named Remy. He is 2.5 years old, and loves to socialize with other dogs. Particularly the girls - He's a Ladies Man. We will have play time, walks, plenty of water, and healthy treats if allowed. I will be able to constantly supervise, and take them for a gorgeous forest walk nearby, or the fenced doggie beach.
About: My daughter and I love Dogs, but we arnt allowed anymore. We have been fostering and puppy sitting for 8 years now. Love every minute of it. I work from home and spend very little time at my desk. This leaves me lots of time for walks, puppy parks, beach and cuddles. We do not have a fenced yard but a gated patio area. We also love trips to the park or a walk around the neighbourhood.
“I couldn’t recommend Angie enough! She truly loves and cares for our puppy as if he were her own. She is very punctual, playful and always up for a walk, regardless of the weather. She trains our pup when she’s with him, reinforcing our commands and behaviours. I feel assured that when Angie is with our puppy, he is safe and well cared for.”
About: Lifelong animal lover and friend, I’ve been caring for friends’ and family pets for as long as I can remember. Now instilling the same love and respect for animals in my two boys. We are a loving family who will treat your pets like royalty. In saying that, I will be the primary caretaker for your animals, but my children live in the home and will be interacting with your pet(s) at times. Please keep this in mind if your pets don’t like children as there may be a better fit for you 🙂 I am a Registered Nurse working part-time on a rotating schedule with tons of availability and flexibility. Your pet will never be alone for more than 2 hours at my home. I have a fenced yard backing onto a beautiful golf course and have the ability to crate your dog if required. Please bring your crate with your dog if they use one. Your dog will spend as much time in or outside as you like.
“Lora is reliable, lovely with animals and an outstanding caregiver to our young dog, Rupert. Highly recommend and grateful to her for looking after Rupert and taking him for daily walks. She’s superb!”

“Jutharat and her husband were absolutely wonderful with our dog! She got to go on a hike, explore and play in their beautiful backyard, and spend time with their sweet dog Pippi, who was such a great companion. It was so nice knowing she had a friendly buddy to hang out with. We also really appreciated the updates and photos. It gave us so much peace of mind. Our pup came home happy. Thank you so much!”
“Morgan took great care of Bear while we were out of town. Provided us with updates and photos, and was accommodating when we needed to change our pick up time. Thanks!”
“Sue and Claude are great. Excellent hosts and easy communication. Felt totally comfortable leaving Sparky with them. Will definitely call on them again.”
“Our dog Melody loved her stay here. She was basically running into their house from the moment pulling up to their driveway which is unusual for her as she can be a little timid sometimes. They sent plenty of photos and our dog seemed right at home. Would recommend them to anyone. Thank you!”
“Chalan and Joel and their girls are THE BEST I have met thus far. And I have had experiences using sitter's across Canada due to our traveling schedules. Their house is clean. The whole family is just full of love for dogs. My baby is newly blind so it's hard for me to find anyone that'd be patient enough to take care of her. But after just 1 day, I know my worries are not necessary. My dog was pampered and spoiled. I highly recommend Chalan and her family.”
“Gabrielle is sooo great and provides great warmth - in both her personality and home - for watching Rupert. Our boy had so much fun also with his good friend Juniper. On this first beautiful dat of Spring in the Okanagan, it looked like Rupert also enjoyed soaking up the sun on the balcony. Thank you so much, Gabrielle, for looking after Rupert and the great photos. Much appreciated!!”
“We had the absolute BEST experience with sylvie and her family! Our dog Annie was completely spoiled , it was like Annie was on a true holiday! They took her on amazing walks , swimming in the lake and so many fun adventures! Sylvie gave multiple updates and pictures daily ! And she was truly a joy to leave our dog with. I can’t recommend her enough! Thank you so so much sylvie for giving Annie the BEST time ever !”
“If I could give Cielo 10 stars I would. She was absolutely wonderful. This was my second time using rover and she put my anxiety to rest. Blue had a blast and was sad to leave his new friend. I will definitely be a repeat client. Thanks again.”
“Viktoriia was amazing with Otis! I got lots of updates and she was great with her communication. He was nice and tired from going to the beach and playing. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Ashley took great care of our dogs while we were gone, and they loved their time at her house and with her dog as well. She was prompt with communication in booking and provided multiple video and photo updates while we were away. Highly recommend and will definitely book again with her😊”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and personalities. Friends and family regularly trust me to care for their pets while they’re away, including feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications when needed, and keeping them on their normal routines. As a registered nurse, I’m responsible, attentive to detail, and comfortable following specific care instructions. I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and recognizing when a pet’s behaviour or needs may change. I’m also a pet owner myself and know that every animal deserves individualized care, plenty of affection, and a safe, loving environment. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable and cared for while giving owners peace of mind through reliable communication and regular photo updates. I work 3-4 days per week as a registered nurse and am looking into fitting pet care into my schedule. I am available Thursdays, most Fridays, and weekends. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I prioritize safety, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and carefully follow any special instructions or medication schedules. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Alicia hosted our four year old Vizsla dog while we were out of town. She provided excellent care for our active and sometimes emotional hound dog. From the first meeting our dog was relaxed and comfortable in her care and she has a great set up for taking care of a dog that likes human companionship through the day. Her commitment to getting our active breed dog out for some good adventures was also above and beyond. We are so satisfied with her service and hope she will take care of our dog again! I would absolutely recommend her dog sitting services”
“Judith was great! Our dog has some quirks that we communicated with her. She is a confident leader and a kind sitter. Our dog was very content upon pick up. Thank you!!”
“Gail is fantastic!! Pepper took to her almost immediately, and by the time we came back to get him he came down the stairs to greet us and then went back up to wait for her to come down again with him, which means he really loved her. I’ve only ever seen him do this with me. We’re so very pleased with the care he received while with her 🥰”
