My girls are happy at Karen’s house and are well taken care of. I greatly appreciate the peace of mind knowing that they are ok in my absence. I was out of town for 9 days and felt like they were in good hands.

Kim was great with Chase! He was so in love with her 6yr old son, I was informed they loved on each other all weekend ☺️. They really made me comfortable leaving him, Chase is the only dog and can get really anxious around strangers but he did GREAT! She kept me updated and with pics 😊, addressed all my concerns. Would highly recommended her and Penny, I will definitely be back if I ever need a sitter again!!

Our dogs were in great hands while we were gone. She sent pics and updates which we enjoyed. The dogs looked very content in their new surroundings. I will definitely call Pam whenever we need a pet sitter. She was excellent and the dogs were happy to see us. Thank you so much Pam and family!

Chloe and her fur kids were amazing in caring for my small dog, Bailey. Communication was above and beyond what I expected with frequent updates including photos. I was able to be away for two nights, with not a single worry as it was very clear Bailey was being cared for just as much as I would have. It was obvious that Bailey had a great time and she got tons of attention! I will definitely be leaving Baikey with Chloe again and would highly recommend her!

Sarah is incredible! We were able to enjoy our vacation worry free, knowing our puppers are in good hands! She went above and beyond to make their stay great. I’m almost worried they won’t want to come home with us haha. Very thankful for the frequent updates and pictures as well, we will not book with anyone else!!

It was comforting to know that Pepper was in a comfortable space, room to run outside, with plenty of people and pup friends to keep him occupied while we were on vacation! Kyle and Lyndzie sent lots of updates throughout the week too! Gave us peace of mind and we would definitely book with them again!

John has an easy, calm demeanor that put my senior dog at ease pretty quickly. I could tell when I picked up my boy that he was chill and happy, which is very much appreciated.

About: I have at somepoint had 100+ pets with my ex that we took care of together. I have adopted "agressive" pets only for them just needing a loving home to feel comfortable. We also fostered a bunch of pets to help when APL was struggling for space. I do have a very busy schedule myself. However I make time to spend with our pets. We make homemade food for them and have a bunch of toys for them to play with. My partner is a stay at home spouse so no one gets into too much mischief. I view pets as family members and they have the comfort of laying on the couch and bed with us. We have a decently big yard with a fence for them to run about and have outside time.

Kari is a rare find!!! I am new to the area and have used Kari a few times. Her and her husband are very kind and great to my dogs. My dogs used to come home from being boarded at a facility and sleep for days from being so stressed. I pick them up from Kari’s and they are ready to play!?!! Highly recommend ❤️❤️

Valerie took very good care of my cat while I was out of town. Spent personal time with Nebula and sent pictures of them cuddling together. Highly recommend using Valerie if you need a place for your animal to stay.

Shannon picked up and dropped off Buddy (as I cannot drive). She sent a few notes letting me know he was adjusting and eating well. She assured me he was "a Good Boy" while he was on vacation!

Tara was great! We needed a last minute dog sitter for our 2 yorkies. We were nervous because we have never used rover before. Tara responded quickly and was even able to groom them. That saved us so much time! They had a great time! We will be using Tara again!

About: I have experience fostering dogs with the animal shelter APL and have a small toy poodle of my own. He is very friendly with other dogs and loves to play. I love dogs and would love to have the opportunity to watch dogs and take care of others! I am open to watching dogs for a couple hours, a day, or even a couple of days if that is what is needed. My house has a small backyard and I am also available to do drop ins at the dogs own home. The area is very quiet and would be comfortable for another dog to be in. If I am caring for someone else's dog I plan on being home for the time I'm watching the dog so that it will be well taken care of. I’m currently only working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals. I am available early mornings or early afternoons to give your animal a break during the workday! I am also available any time on the weekends. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I have a toy poodle and a golden retriever. I can also do drops in to walk or play with your dog as well!

Karen kept my anxiety down when our pup was able to stay with her for the first time outside of our home. She has a good set up with a double fence, is experienced with knowing which dogs do pair together for play, and works out of her house with her partner, which is ideal. My dog looked happy in the photos she sent.

Rebecca took excellent care of Cashew! Not only was she a pleasure to communicate with, but she kept me updated with photos and videos of Cashew having fun with Moose. We just got home and Cashew is so calm. I know that he is wore out from all of the fun that he had from his overnight stay! I highly recommend Rebecca.
