1. Aaron C.
“The pup trusted Aaron right away, and I’m confident she would leave an enthusiastic review if her typing skills were stronger. I found Aaron knowledgeable, communicative, and to have excellent judgement. He happened to be able to accommodate a late request when my plans fell through, and I’m grateful to have found him. We’ll happily book again.”
2. Whitney S.
“Whitney was flexible is setting up a time to meet Rosie before hand. Asked all the questions that made me feel comfortable I did t have to explain so much. Rosie came home relaxed and happy.”
3. Sarah C.
“Sarah is the BEST! We contact her FIRST whenever we have a need for a sitter. She's great with our little guy and her dogs are very sweet too! 100% recommend without reservations.”
4. Elisabeth K.
“I had a last minute booking need come up and I’m so glad I did so I could meet Elisabeth! Elisabeth was so wonderful and caring to my dog. I was really excited to see she has other small dogs, and Louise had a blast running around with her crew. Elisabeth was incredibly caring, she sent really thorough updates and made Louise feel right at home after I left. I felt so at ease knowing my sensitive little dog was so well cared for and had some friends to play with. I would absolutely bring Louise back and highly recommend Elisabeth!”
5. Skyler N.
“Skyler did a great job and proved a very flexible care provider. We needed to extend our dog’s time with her by a night at the last minute and she was a-ok with that (thank you). Our 15 year old dog unfortunately wound up having some accidents away from home (embarrassing) but she adjusted our suggested bathroom schedule to hourly and supported his needs (thank you). Much appreciation Skyler!”
6. Anne B.
“Anne was fabulous. Teddy went right to her like he had known her forever. I needed daycare last minute and she was so kind to help me out. She sent tons of pictures and updates throughout the day. I highly recommend her services.”
7. Ashley & John E.
“Ashley and John were patient, kind, and thoughtful with our anxious pup! Ashley gave me great updates throughout the visit and I am so grateful to them both for the great job they did with our dog!”
8. Kathleen B.
“Kathleen took great care of our pup for a week! She was communicative, professional, helpful, and clearly loves dogs! He is a high energy dog who loves to run and go for walks, and she made sure to give him lots of exercise! We know he was in great hands, which is amazing peace of mind when you’re out of town. Thanks Kathleen!!”
9. Kelly D.
“We are still pinching ourselves at our good fortune in connecting with Kelli on Rover! Our bonded pair of mini Rat Terrier girls are our babies, and we needed a dog sitter who would make them bonafide family members while we were away. Kelli delivered and then some! The "Rat girls" ADORED her and had as much fun on "their" vacation as we did on ours! Kelli is also highly professional and responsive and sent us lots of pics. We will absolutely be calling on Kelli and her adorable "sidekick" Ruby the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel again. Five stars and THREE thumbs up!!!”
10. Kathleen K.
“Bernie had a fantastic time staying with Kathleen (and Porter!). He was taken on daily adventures and even got to go swimming several times over his stay! Kathleen was great at communicating the entire time and sent some great photos! We will definitely rebook with Kathleen in the future!”
11. Rose F.
“Rose was incredible! She sent multiple picture and video updates everyday, took my pup on adventures, and was excellent at communicating. I will definitely be utilizing Rose in the future.”
12. Daniel T.
“Daniel took great care of my pup. I was away amidst early COVID-19 social distancing, curfews, & travel precautions. Daniel was flexible & responsive as my travel plans shifted. I’d definitely recommend him.”
13. Alma D.
“We had a wonderful experience with Alma, who invited our Whoopie into her home and family. When possible, Alma also arranges a meet and greet before the stay to ensure a good fit. Thank you so much Alma! We hope we can meet again and reunite dogs and people.”
14. Benjamin B.
About: Currently have a 7 year old named Ollie. Lived with dogs growing up as well as babysat and dog sat for multiple families. Love spending time with animals and missing that. I am comfortable with large dogs and small dogs. I currently work from home with flexible hours so I am home all day other than walks with the pups. I am available sitting and doggy day care on weekdays and some weekends. I have a fenced in yard and live walking distance to trails. I only usually take one dog at a time and my dog is friendly with other dogs.
15. Christina R.
“Christina was so great with our dog! Quick Responses leading up to the time she had our dog and She sent us many updates though out the time she had our dog. She made sure to keep her busy with many adventures while we were away. We are excited to have our pup stay with Christina again when we are away!”
16. Jennifer B.
“Jennie was fantastic with our Woofie and Bride, and they really enjoyed their time with her dog Maya. We were looking for a comfortable home for our pups while we were away, and Jennie made everything easy. Great communication, great photos and videos! We couldn't be happier!”
17. Elizabeth S.
“Elizabeth is awesome! We left our chihuahua with her for about 2 weeks while we were out of town, and we felt so comfortable knowing our little baby was in such a loving home, with someone who adores dogs as much as Elizabeth does! She sent us pictures, videos, and sweet little updates everyday, and we even had the opportunity to FaceTime with our little angel 🐾 We forgot to pack our dog’s winter coat, and it got quite cold, but Elizabeth had an extra coat that she bundled her in to make sure she was safe and warm on their walks through Evergreen. Also, our little pup gets nervous when we leave her and sometimes won’t eat because of it, but Elizabeth HAND FED her! And then she ate her whole dinner like that. Can you believe that? If that doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about how much Elizabeth cares, I don’t know what will. One more way that Elizabeth went above and beyond that really meant the world to us, was how flexible she was with scheduling. We had some unexpected very-last-minute changes to our trip, but Elizabeth was extremely accommodating, kind, and patient. She really had our back. Elizabeth is such a good person, and you can tell that she really cares about you, as well as your dog. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and above-and-beyond to take care of your beloved dog, look no further! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you Elizabeth!”
18. Emilia K.
“Emilia was great! She provided the perfect amount of updates and pictures for us! We would definitely ask her to care for our puppy again! ❤️”
19. Heidi A.
“Our year old chocolate Lab was right at home with Heidi and her pets. She loved playing in the fenced-in yard with the pups her size. We felt very confident in leaving her with Heidi and will do it again.”
20. Tedra L.
“Tedra was phenomenal! She was very communicative and sent so many cute photos and videos that put us at ease during our wedding weekend. Coqui had so many fun adventures like going to an apple orchard and camping. We could tell she was well loved and we wouldn't hesitate to have Tedra watch her again.”
