1. Lisa W.
“Our dog Mochi can be pretty nervous and slow to warm up, but she was comfortable at Lisa’s home right away, which was really comforting to see. She also got one of her longest walks in recent memory - thanks Lisa!”
2. Michelle M.
“Amazing care as usual!!! I feel so comfortable leaving my pup with Michelle. I know she will be well taken care of and have the best time! She always gets so excited when she gets dropped off for a visit.”
3. Susan H.
“Susan is absolutely wonderful! She was a true lifesaver for me and my special pup. A crazy travel emergency kept me out of state for an extra 36 hours more than agreed, and Susan gracefully and sweetly continued to take amazing care of my little guy. They went on lots of walks and I got plenty of pics and updates. Would recommend Susan to anyone who wants to be sure their dog is well taken care of 💙”
4. Lenore K.
“Lenore and Rook hosted Roscoe while I was away for new years. She provided lots of photos and updates to let me know that he was doing well and he seemed to be very happy when I picked him up. I would have Lenore watch Roscoe again in a heartbeat!”
5. Carol S.
“Carol is simply one of the best in her care for animals and for our aging dog who needed extra attention. She treated Bailey like he was one of her own. We will definitely use her again.”
6. Jocelynn A.
“My partner and I have asked Jocelynn to care for our cat several times in the past year and we all LOVE her! She is very experienced as well as being kind, knowledgeable, and caring. Her space is open with lots of room to play and roam, as well as smaller places for kitties to go if they need some alone time. We absolutely recommend Jocelynn for the highest quality of care!”
7. Matthew K.
“Thanks Matthew for taking care of Lilbit while I recovered from surgery. Matthew sent photos and Lilbit seemed very comfortable at Matthew’s.”
8. Laurel J.
“Laurel did a great job with my pup Josie. She did an excellent job communicating leading up to and during her stay, keeping me informed with pictures and texts.”
9. Sophia C.
“Sofia was great! She sent us photos all the time of our dog which we loved seeing. It seemed like Milo had a great time and we really appreciate Sofia watching him over the holidays.”
10. Morgan B.
“Morgan is great!! She was on time to pick up our pups, sent loads of photos and updates! You for sure won’t worry about your pups with her! Thank you Morgan!!”
11. Brooklyn A.
“Brooklyn went above and beyond to accommodate Waffles and his car anxiety. He had a wonderful time with her and her pups (especially Tuna). I would not hesitate to leave Waffles with her again, or to recommend her to other pet parents.”
12. Ashley K.
“Letting your dog behind you they can't travel with you is always hard. We let Maya with Ashley and it was amazing. Pictures each day, small summary of their activities and a real family for the dog. Instead of thinking I was letting Maya behind in a large-scale kennel or boarding, I really gave Maya a one-week vacation with a loving family! Thanks, you Ashley for taking care of Maya so well!”
13. Allyson H.
“Allyson was very responsive and sent pictures of my dog throughout the visit! I felt safe knowing that my dog was happy and in good hands. She became friends with Allyson’s dog also which was very cute.”
14. Erin W.
“Erin did a wonderful job watching Cashew for a week while we were out of the country. She sent daily photos and videos of all their adventures and made sure we felt at ease. Cashew can be a bit of a handful so we’re so happy to find someone who takes such excellent care of her!”
15. Melissa A.
“Melissa was great! Very flexible with our schedule, easy to work with, and most importantly, provided a great place for our pup to stay while were out of town. And we loved getting daily photo updates of our happy dog while we were away - its was great piece of mind to see her happy and healthy every day. Next time we need a sitter, Melissa will be the first person we reach out to!”
16. Dolly L.
“My honey and I have been using Ms. Dollys services to watch our two naughty 75 pound plus babies for a few months now. I think we have boarded our dogs a total 4 times with her. She’s always super accommodating and willing for emergency stay overs if your 4 hour drive from Oregon turns into 8 hours (life saver). Ms. Dolly handles my helicopter dog mom ways and assures me “ I got this” ( she really does) Our babies LOVE Ms. Dolly and even know her by name. They get some serious zooms when we leash up by the door and mention dolly town. Upon first arriving a few months ago I was so happy to see she has a full on kennel set up, rubber washable mats, large and heated areas to run and play on icky days. Toys, leashes you name it. We even forgot our food one time, no worries dolly had a back up that matched the very specific sweet potato and salmon diet we had going. It’s like having a family member watch your dogs but the family member is also super professional and also operates a full puppy bizniz. Upon arrival you will be asked to fill out a secondary form, shots, vet, food routine, emergency contact ect. Ms. dolly is seriously a pro. Drop off is always super emotional for us but Ms. Dolly always sends pics and videos. It seems like she hangs out with our dogs all day by how much play time they actually get. They even did a bonfire and hung out with our pups the way we would do in our backyard. Your dogs are family and it shows. Ms. Dolly has a full backyard where your dogs can run and play and party all night if they wanted. This is a serious plus for our very energetic pitbull and spaz German Sheppard. I would never choose another boarder. Thank you Ms. Dolly, we love you! - Brandon, Katy, Ghost and Ranger.”
17. Trevor & Karen H.
“Trevor and Karen came through for us when our dog sitter fell through close to our trip date. They provided our Cavalier a sweet space to stay with plenty of attention and kept us in the loop with photos and updates. We really appreciated all of the effort and communication!”
18. Jordan R.
“I knew within moments after walking into Jordan's home with Maverick that he felt very comfortable and would be happy to spend time there. He is a Frenchie, and immediately his little tail was wagging as he explored the room and greeted Jordan. I received several pictures a day of his activities as he took walks with Bryan, slept in the bed in front of the sunny window, or snuggled on the couch. This stay with Jordan was great for Maverick and my peace of mind!!”
19. Melissa & Ryan W.
“Melissa, Ryan and family take very good care of my schnauzer. This is my second time leaving her there and they were delightful to deal with. They seemed to treat her as their own (and they do have 2 other dogs). My dog is young but doesn’t play with other dogs, and she tells other dogs exactly that. They got along very well. Would be happy to leave my dog there again.”
20. Leilani E.
“Leilani is super kind and very responsible. She clearly loves dogs and took great care of my pup Oyster! 10/10 would book again!”
