Joan was flexible and so understanding when we had to change plans last minute. She also took exceptional care of our dog including applying a salve to a wound and doing medication multiple times a day after we had to take our pup to the vet right before the visit started. 10/10 would recommend!

Kaycee and Robert are the best! They took such good care of our little dog, who has never spent time away from us. They took him on walks, played with him, and kept him warm and safe. Our dog loved Tank (their dog) and the kids. He had a blast with this lovely family. They are kind and warm people who took excellent care of our dog. It is evident that they are expert dog owners who have fostered and trained many dogs. We will definitely book them next time we leave town. We highly recommend them!

Our dog Gatsby has stayed with Edith on multiple occasions and always has a wonderful time! We love all of the updates that Edith sends and we know that he is getting the best of care while we are away. Even when our dog has less than stellar behavior Edith takes it all in stride and keeps us updated. Thank you Edith!

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. My family growing up never had less than 3 pets at a time so I've grown up loving and rescuing animals including taking care of outdoor feral cats,stray dogs, etc. I currently have two cats of my own and hope to have more in the future at the very least by fostering :) Besides when working my 9/5 or rover I spend most of my free time with my cats. I also keep a cat crate and food in my car in case I ever see any stray cats and I have a humane trap at home. I have raised puppies and kittens from 2 months old and have had elderly pets that have lived to be 19 years old so I have experience with lots of pets of different ages, breeds, and personality types. I've taken care of upwards of 7 cats all in the same household so I am also experienced with caring for multiple pets including households with multiple cats and also dogs. I also have experience to varying degrees with deer, rabbits, horses, chickens, quail, and fish. I think pets are family and best friends and I am excited to meet yours and give them lots of love and attention I may be wearing a mask - don’t worry I’m not sick I am very immunocompromised so I mask around strangers just as an extra precaution so I don’t get sick For daycare or boarding for dogs I would prefer they are cat friendly but accommodations can be made for sure! Currrntl due to my job I can’t do morning drop ins or walks during the work week but can on weekends and can still do boardings. There are some afternoons where I occasionally have avilability and my availability is subject to change so please feel free to still message to ask :) I still do have lots of weekend free time too :) I’m happy to watch multi pet house holds and do daycare for multiple dogs if you have more than one! During meet ups I may be wearing a mask - don’t worry I’m not sick I am very immunocompromised so I mask around strangers just as an extra precaution so I don’t get sick In my own household I would provide them with their own toys, food and water bowls, and take them for lots of walks if applicable. My pets and any animals here are allowed to be on the furniture like the couches and bed but I usually put a blanket and a small bed on the ground in case some babies feel more comfy with that. I am more than happy to also crate them!

From the initial meet and greet up to picking my dog up after his stay, Bekah was a fantastic communicator and made our boy feel right at home. I love how much access he had to their large back yard and it was great that he had a couple of pup pals to play with too. Thank you for all the great pictures and updates. He came home absolutely pooped and happy - the sign of a perfect doggo vacation!

About: I’ve been fortunate enough to be raised with cats and dogs and have been caring for them all of my life. Starting very young I’ve been hired by family, friends, and strangers to walk their dogs and care for their animals when they’re gone. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages from puppies and kittens to senior animals. I’m also experienced at dog training. I enjoy teaching dog behaviors through delicious treats, positive reinforcement, and lots of fun games! Your pet means everything to you, and I want to make sure they feel the love even when you’re away. I love walking, playing in the yard, playing with toys in the house, and giving lots of pets and love to your furry friend. I can’t wait to meet your buddy and become their home away from home! I work from home one day per week, and I’m home on evenings and weekends. I work close to home, so even when I am not working from home I am never too far away. I enjoy taking a morning or evening walk with my dog, and playing games in the house or in my fenced in yard. I am available for boarding with potty breaks as frequently as needed from Tuesday nights through Thursday mornings, and from Friday nights to Monday mornings. While your dog is with me, we will play games inside the house, play with toys, go on walks, and run in my fenced in yard. My dog is friendly with other dogs and has spent years in daycare without issue so I expect she will be a wonderful playmate for most dogs. All pups will be kept separate from each other when they are not being actively supervised. Weekday morning pickup and drop offs will need to be done by 7:30am, and weekday evening pickups will need to be done after 5pm. If you need flexibility beyond that, please let me know and I will work with you however I can. I have a fenced in yard, and one friendly dog in the home. My dog in the home does extremely well with other dogs, and loves to play. I prefer to reward good behavior with yummy treats, and provide enticing distractions if problematic behaviors arise. I believe in engaging fully while playing with dogs, and then providing structured relaxation time for them to unwind. When the dogs are not under active supervision, like if I am out of the house for any length of time, they will be crated for some calming time. I like to encourage positive associations with the crate by expending mental and physical energy before going into the crate, using treats as a reward to enter the crate, and playing relaxing ambient music to sooth the dogs while crated.

Highly recommended. We left our two fur babies with Derek and Yoki for an extended weekend, it was the first time they had been with a dog sitter that wasn’t family. They are small dogs (Pomeranians) and we were concerned with them being left with someone they didn’t know and being around bigger dogs. We received multiple pictures and updates daily. We feel they were were cared for.
