“We were able to meet with Vanessa and Geoffrey ahead of the booking and everything went smoothly! They have a nice set up for the dogs and provide pics/videos to update you each day. I also appreciate them for being able to accommodate our last minute request. We would use them again!”
“Loki enjoyed his stay with Camila and her family. She sent us pictures and told us how he was doing each day while we were on our trip. Her kids were good to Loki. He is a rescue and I am sure he was anxious to be left again. Camila understood and made sure he had lots of snuggles pets to and treats. We appreciate them giving him lots of love on his first time away from home.”
“Yodi enjoyed his stay with Heather. She took him on short notice during Labor Day weekend. She was very accommodating and carried out my instructions for his care. I enjoyed her daily updates and photos. We will definitely return.”
“Just perfect. Michelle has a lovely home with a nice park and lake area in the backyard for the dogs to enjoy. Very safe area well away from roads. Michelle communicated very well, sent photos and updates, and was completely flexible with drop off and pickup times. Someone was home with my pup all the time and Zoey really seemed to love her stay with Michelle. Highly recommended.”
About: Looking for someone who will love your pet almost as much as you do? That’s me! I’ve spent years caring for pets for family, friends, and neighbors, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s a playful puppy, or a senior dog who needs extra patience, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I provide reliable care, regular updates, plenty of playtime, and lots of affection. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and having a great time. Bonus: I give award🏆winning belly rubs and am an expert treat distributor. I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I’m available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits, and I do my best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, playtime, or extra attention while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests you may have. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication for peace of mind. Whether caring for your pet in your home or mine, you can trust that they’ll receive plenty of love, attention, belly rubs, and personalized care. I truly love them as if they were part of my own family. I also specialize in belly rubs, treat distribution, and convincing shy pets that Aunty Wendy will protect and care for them.
“Michael and Alaina (and doggie Deji) were amazing hosts. We had a fairly last minute request for them to watch our golden, Penny, for eight nights, including a holiday weekend, and they were more than accommodating. They were communicative, sent pictures several times a day, and took Penny on lots of walks and multiple outings (Great Falls, Ft Ward and Starbucks to name a few). We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Penny with Michael, Alaina and Deji again and they will be our first message when looking for a dog sitter in the future.”
“Anthony did a wonderful job taking care of our 3 dogs! He truly cares, sends pictures and updates daily, and makes sure he learns about each of your dog's needs. We will definitely ask Anthony to watch them again!”
“Abby and her family were wonderful care givers of our elderly pets. Our buddies were in their care for more than a week and I can tell they were able to stick to the feeding routine. Our pets comeback in good shape. Thanks Abby and family!”
“Ana was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Bella! From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely loves and understands animals. She took extra time to make sure Bella was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Ana sent regular updates and photos, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. Bella can be a little shy at first, but Ana’s gentle and patient approach won her over right away. We came home to a very relaxed and happy pup — it was obvious she had been loved and cared for as if she were Ana’s own. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Ana, for taking such special care of Bella! We’ll definitely be booking with you again. 🐾”
“Jesus is an outstanding sitter. He went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly while I was away. He was not only reliable and professional, but also incredibly attentive and caring. His consistent communication and updates made me feel completely at ease, knowing my dog was in the best hands. I can’t recommend Jesus highly enough—he truly exceeded my expectations.”
“Jessica was an excellent dog sitter! She provided daily updates with plenty of pictures and videos of Flossy, and her communication was outstanding. She took wonderful care of our dog—we would definitely use her again. 5 stars!”
About: I’ve been a pet sitter since I was 10 years old, caring for cats, dogs, birds, and rabbits of all ages. Experience with puppies and senior animals, and the extra care that requires. Available for overnights, daytime visits, and even bath time. I currently work full time but I am available in the evenings to love on your furry family member. I love taking dogs for walks or playing fetch. I have a crate to keep your pup comfortable in my home, plus a dog, cat, and two affectionate teenagers. If visiting a client’s home, I will love on the fur baby and make sure it has plenty of food, water, treats, and playtime.
“I can tell Miss Tracey loved my pupper as much as I do! I felt comfortable with her taking my dog as soon as I met her. My dog was even having eating issues at the time we dropped her off and Tracey was great with her, offering different options and such. She sent plenty of pictures of Cindy having fun and kept me updated, she was fantastic!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Nancy and the amazing care she provided for my dog! From the moment we met, it was clear how much she genuinely loves animals. My dog felt comfortable and happy in her care, and she went above and beyond to ensure every need was met. Her attention to detail, reliability, and warm personality truly set her apart. I am so grateful for her exceptional service and will definitely recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care for their furry friends. Thank you, Nancy, for being so amazing!”

Michelle was wonderful with my boys! What I appreciated most was her daily updates — she kept me informed about how they were settling in, how they were adjusting to a new environment, and how they were getting along with her own fur girls. The photos she sent were such a comfort while I was away. Her communication was also excellent. When a potential marking issue came up, she handled it thoughtfully and professionally — she was open to using diapers instead of crating, which I really appreciated her flexibility on. The one area I’d note is that she seemed to have a busy work schedule, as we all do… When I returned, Huku’s (senior) diaper was full, suggesting he had not been out for a while that day— something to keep in mind if regular outdoor breaks are important for your pups. But overall, Michelle is super caring and communicative sitter who genuinely looks after your dogs. I would certainly ask her again!
What a relief that I found Nancy! I knew from the moment we met that she genuinely loves and cares about dogs!! She took great care of our little guy, sent multiple pictures daily during his stay, and made everything so easy. We found a winner and will absolutely seek her out again!
Jessica was amazing with my senior English Bulldog. I went away for a holiday for my best friend’s wedding. I was a little nervous about leaving Desi, as he can be reactive so we scheduled a meet up beforehand. This gave me some peace of mind when Desi made himself right at home. Jessica was great about sending updates throughout my trip and was able to easily manage Desi’s supplements and high maintenance behavior.
Emmanuel is amazing with my puppy! She was such at ease with him and his family! I was kept up-to-date on her days and nights that they spent together. Emmanuel is very observant, caring, and communicative! He brought out her playful side, and I loved the sweet videos and pictures he sent. We will absolutely use him again!
This was my first time using Rover while going out of town and Melissa did an amazing job making sure I was comfortable from the meet and greet prior and all the updates/ pictures throughout the day. I would recommend her to anyone looking for good care for your furry friend :)
Theodora was a last minute lifesaver for me as I had a last minute work trip and needed a sitter. She was friendly and professional and took the time to understand my pup’s care. She is also the most communicative sitter I’ve had as I received daily messages and photos of him. Highly recommend her!
Mike & his wife were fantastic sitters for Charlie! They were happy to schedule a meet-&-greet beforehand between their dog (Deji) & Charlie at a nearby park and were super easy to talk to about care instructions. They went above and beyond with taking Charlie on nature adventures and didn't miss a beat with sharing frequent picture/video updates of Charlie. I was confident they took great care of Charlie and I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again in the future.
Just perfect. Michelle has a lovely home with a nice park and lake area in the backyard for the dogs to enjoy. Very safe area well away from roads. Michelle communicated very well, sent photos and updates, and was completely flexible with drop off and pickup times. Someone was home with my pup all the time and Zoey really seemed to love her stay with Michelle. Highly recommended.
Toni was amazing with my dogs and I’m so thankful I found her. She was very knowledgeable about how to care for a skittish dog and a reactive dog. She was able to take them both on multiple walks daily. She sent pictures, videos and updates everyday. She is truly the best! I’ll definitely be using her again soon.
