“Tehilla was great. She kept us updated on how our pup was doing, took her on long walks and sent loads of photos and videos to keep us posted on her well being. I appreciate how responsive and warm she is, definitely would recommend her !”
“My anxious dog fisher is always calm after hanging out with Annie! She’s very communicative and has been a helpful support as fisher adjusts to our new city”
“Erin is absolutely incredible. Within the first ten minutes of meeting, she and my dog (Maya) were best friends. I booked with her during a super hot week and she did a great job at keeping Maya both cool and entertained. Maya had a bit of an upset tummy that week and Erin was on top of everything, keeping me up to date with how Maya was doing. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to keep Maya company. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Tiffany was a great sitter! She provided timely updates on Yo-Yo's status and provided many pictures as well. I would recommend her services to anyone!”

“Tiffany and Will were great hosts for our dog’s first day at doggy daycare with them! From the moment we dropped our dog off, we felt confident that they would provide a safe, fun, and loving environment. Our dog had an incredible time, enjoying a variety of toys in their home and getting plenty of exercise with walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures. Tiffany and Will’s provided consistent communication throughout the day by providing updates and videos/photos, letting us know how our dog was settling in and having fun. We truly appreciate their care and attention to detail, and we’re excited for more doggy daycare days in the future!”
“Ryan took great care of Charlie. He is responsive and extremely easy to work with. I highly recommend him if you’re looking for someone to care for your pet!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I have watched many of my friends dogs for long periods of time and I love dogs. I play with them and make sure they are taken care of. I also have an 80 lbs dog named Charlie who is a gentle giant! He loves other dogs and is very friendly. (His best friend is a 7lbs dog!) I work from home so have plenty of time to take care of the dog during the day! Most of my meetings are in the morning and then my afternoons are free. Sometimes I go to the gym but if I watch your dog I’ll be home! I have an outside patio on the 2nd level. I have our 80 lbs dog Charlie but he is very friendly. I have several rooms in my house and can always put Charlie in a separate room if there are any issues.
“Laura was tremendous! She took photos and sent them during the day. She gave me great directions and it was easy to drop my dog off. I would highly recommend her!!!”

“Shaneik did great with both my pups. One of my dogs has anxiety, and I was worried I wouldn’t be able to leave him with anyone. Shaneik was super understanding, and both my dogs were really comfortable and calm with her. I’d recommend Shaneik!”
“A great week with Shuang! She provides regular updates, walks and attention to Benji. I feel at ease while I am away knowing Benji is with her!”
About: I’ve grown up my whole life with animals, specially big dogs. I currently have a one year-old golden retriever, name, Mila. I dog sit for all my family and friends and I promise I will take care of your pet like I would my own. I currently work from home which allows me to have the flexibility to do this as well. I’m a very active person and I love pets and walk so this fits perfectly in my routine! I live next to a park so it’s the perfect location to take walks with your pet. I usually take My own 3 times a day. My apartment complex also has a dog section in the roof top :)
About: Hi there! I go by Stephanie. Although I grew up surrounded by dogs—my family always had a pack—I wouldn't consider that as my pet care experience until I adopted my first adult dog/my soul dog, Louie, in 2022. He may not be the easiest puppy and continues to present new challenges from time to time, but I can't imagine my life without him. I've learned so much about the "puppy blues," the frustrations of potty training, crate training, leash pulling, and severe separation anxiety. Oh, did I mention he's an extremely picky eater? These are just a few of the issues I understand when you come to me with similar concerns. I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and feel confident in my ability to handle any of them! Currently, I have a 65 lbs coonhound-lab mix, Louie, and an 11 lbs orange tabby cat, Samson. Given my apartment living situation, adding another dog wouldn't be a responsible choice, so I'm always happy to watch my family and friends' pets so Louie can have some playtime. He has never had any issues with other dogs. Unfortunately, Samson isn't the biggest fan of other cats, which is why he was rehomed multiple times before; however, he loves cuddling with dogs and I truly think he considers himself one of them. A little bit about Louie to see if your dog will get along with him, aside from the challenges I mentioned (he's not THAT bad, I promise); he is the most down-to-earth dog, extremely goofy, and he loves any living thing on earth. He's always up for play but is cool if your dog isn't in the mood. He's a couch potato indoors, yet loves to play tag outdoor. He has zero resource guarding or reactivity. Unless you have a specific request for your dog, all the dogs in my care follow this routine: a long walk lasting 30 mins to 1 hour, depending on the weather, followed by several short walks throughout the day. I live in an apartment that has mutiple indoor relief areas for dogs. There are also many parks nearby where I take my dog for daily walks. I never walk more than two dogs at once. If requested, I am happy to walk your dog separately to ensure the best walking experience for your dog. While I don't believe in dog parks, I will make sure your dog enjoys an excellent sniffing session during our walks together.

I prioritize creating a safe and secure environment for all pets in my care.

“Sara was SO accommodating to my dog Loki. They were very flexible with my schedule and even when I forgot to message them my pup’s schedule, they were able to go with the flow and take care of Loki promptly. I deffo would go to them again if I need another daycare!”
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember and I’ve never lived without them. Over the years, I’ve raised and trained countless dogs, birds, and more litters of kittens than I can count. Currently, I share my home with Whidbey, my friendly male Ragdoll kitten. He’s incredibly social with both cats and dogs and enjoys an active social life with his furry friends. Right now, I have extra time on my hands as I prepare to switch careers—and while my husband has (wisely) vetoed my dream of turning our home into a zoo, pet sitting feels like the perfect win-win. Whether your fur baby needs cuddles, calm companionship, or a bit of playful attention, they’ll be in safe, loving hands with me. I can’t wait to meet them! I'm currently in a career transition phase, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time and energy to dedicate to pet care. I’m home most of the day, so your pet will have lots of attention, playtime, and supervision—whether they're staying overnight or just dropping in for a visit. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine and is something I truly enjoy. From morning snuggles to evening play sessions, I'm here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for throughout the day. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, cozy, and pet-friendly environment where your cat or small dog can feel relaxed and secure. I closely monitor interactions, especially during meet-and-greets or first-time stays, and I’m happy to separate pets until needed to ensure everyone feels safe. My Ragdoll kitten, Whidbey, is very gentle and social—used to being around other cats and dogs. Whether they need space, extra cuddles, or quiet time, I’m happy to adapt. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I treat your space with respect and keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you can feel totally at ease while you're away.
“Sandra and Frida started a friendship in their day together. Frida was so happy there that didn’t want to come back home 😂 Sandra, thank you for sitting her and for the beautiful pictures!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life—growing up with dogs taught me how to love and care for animals from a young age. My husband and I shared our lives with one sweet poodle and two adorable cats. Our beloved poodle lived to be 18 years old before passing in 2023, and now our home is filled with the playful energy of our two cats. While I’ve always been a dog person at heart, my cats have completely won me over and turned me into a true cat lover too! With years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I understand their unique needs and personalities—and I treat every pet like family. As a self-employed professional with a very flexible schedule, I’m able to give plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I mostly work from home and am around during the day for walks, playtime, feedings, and companionship. I typically go to the office for appointments 2–3 times a week, but my schedule is flexible enough that I can easily plan around your pet’s needs to ensure they’re well cared for and comfortable. I live in a cozy townhouse (about 900 sq ft) with my two friendly and well-behaved cats. It’s a peaceful and pet-friendly neighborhood that’s great for dog walks, with quiet streets and plenty of green space nearby. My home is clean, safe, and a calm environment where your pet can feel comfortable and cared for.

Growlerz - Columbia CityLocal facility
“It’s so easy to write a glowing review for Growlerz Daycare. First it’s my dog’s favorite home away from home. I drop him off and he never looks back. The space is clean, well maintained with a staff that is friendly and experienced with many long-term team members. Most days you will also find one or both of the owners working to be sure your dog has a fun and safe experience. It’s more than just a daycare; it’s an awesome community for both pets and their humans.”

She took the time to get to know our dog, his routine, and his quirks, which made us feel completely at ease leaving him in her care. Michelle sent us regular updates—photos and videos—that kept us in the loop and reassured us that our dog was in good hands. We could tell he was enjoying his time with her, and that peace of mind was invaluable. It’s clear Michelle goes above and beyond to ensure pets are comfortable, safe, and happy. We wholeheartedly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog sitter. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
