“We couldn't have asked for anyone better than Dave & Cindy for our boy, Duke. They both are such hospitalable, warm individuals and I knew the moment I met them, at our meet and greet, that Duke would be in caring hands! I trusted them whole-heartedly, and will continue to use them should my husband and I need to be away. Thank you Dave and Cindy!! ❤”

10. Ryn U.
“We couldn’t have been happier with Ryn as our dog sitter over the holidays! Finding someone who truly understands and can handle dogs with behavioral challenges is no easy task, but Ryn completely exceeded our expectations. Two of our dogs have big feelings—one is fear reactive, and the other struggles with anxiety—and Ryn managed their unique needs with so much patience, care, and skill. She even made real progress with one of our more challenging pups, which was such a huge milestone for us. Ryn’s extensive experience as a dog trainer really stands out. She took the time to learn about each of our dogs before their stay, asking thoughtful questions and ensuring she was prepared to meet their needs. Her setup is perfect, with a big, secure fenced yard and an environment designed for both enrichment and safety. It’s clear she puts so much thought into creating a space where dogs can thrive. One of the things we appreciated most was how Ryn included her own dogs in a way that felt safe and comfortable for everyone. She has an incredible ability to read dog behavior and ensure all interactions are positive. Whether it was playtime, downtime, or moments when our dogs just needed a little extra reassurance, Ryn handled everything with ease and professionalism. Throughout the stay, Ryn kept us updated with regular, thoughtful communication. Her updates included how our dogs were feeling emotionally, what they were eating, and even little stories about their day. The photos she sent showed just how happy and relaxed our pups were, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. What truly sets Ryn apart is her genuine love for dogs and her ability to connect with them on an individual level. She doesn’t just care for dogs—she truly understands them. Her ability to build trust and confidence, even with dogs who struggle with fear and anxiety, is remarkable. We came home to happy, groomed, relaxed pups who were clearly given so much attention, playtime, and love. It’s everything you could hope for as a dog parent. Ryn went above and beyond to make sure they felt safe and happy the entire time. If you’re looking for someone who is not only amazing with dogs but also truly gets them, Ryn is the absolute best. Whether your dog has special behavioral needs or just deserves the best care possible, we can’t recommend her enough for training or sitting. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
11. Mandy H.
“Mandy was amazing with our pup. She sent lots of pictures and videos and was very responsive anytime we reached out. Highly recommend and hope we can use her again!”
12. Erica S.
“Erica and her son were great caretakers of our Jack while we were on vacation! She is very accommodating and is obviously extremely experienced with four legged friends. Jack had a great time and we will definitely be back!”
13. Laura W.
“Laura went beyond our expectations. She took fantastic care of our little Heidi while we were on vacation for ten days. She sent us great photos and stories of what they were doing everyday. Laura even worked with Heidi on different commands like stay and down. I can't even begin to say enough good things about Laura. I would give her 100 stars if Rover would let me.”
14. Elisabeth L.
“A true blessing! I can't express enough gratitude for Elisabeth! Excellent communication and regular updates with photos were provided throughout the trip. Zoey was happy and relaxed upon my return, which was a clear sign that Elisabeth went above and beyond in her care. I'm extremely grateful to have found her!”
15. Holly B.
“Holly did a fantastic job watching our dog Dill! She treated him so well I don’t think he wanted to leave! She brushed him, took him swimming, and sent pictures. We will definitely be booking with Holly again in the future!”
16. Misty S.
“Frudo had a fun time staying at Misty’s place. In all the pictures he looked happy and excited and bonded really well with Appa. Frudo is just looking forward to his next vacation at Misty’s.”
17. Laura A.
“Laura made me feel extremely comfortable during our meet and greet and was phenomenal at keeping me updated on my pup! He is a bit of a needy boy but she showed him all the love and patience I could ask for. Would recommend her services to anyone who wants to have a sound mind when leaving their pup to go on a trip ❤️”
18. Brigid & Luke D.
“Brigid and Luke are wonderful! Our dog Andy gets so excited when he realizes we are going to their house. They are definitely our go-to sitters!”
19. Renae H.
“Renae and family took very good care of Winston. This was his first stay with Renae. She communicated very well, sent pictures and was very accommodating.”
20. Heather S.
About: I absolutely adore animals of any size or breed. There has not been a moment in time where I didn't own a precious fur baby. I am here for you! So just communicate everything with me, whenever you need it done and I'll be there for you! Communication is key! Animals need to feel safe, loved, and taken care of. Animals are family just like human family members are. We play with them, cuddles and pets, and we give them space and food and toys
