“Harley was great with my cat! Spent alot of time playing and giving her pets! Sent pictures and video as well.”
“Took great care of our pets and followed all the instructions we had left for both the animals and the house while we were gone. Great communication and sent lots of pictures and updates. Left the house exactly as we left it!”
“Alec and Buddha did a great job taking care of our babies while we were gone. I felt completely comfortable having them at the house alone knowing he was going to be there twice a day to play with them and feed them. I never had to worry that they were in good hands. Alec was reliable and went above and beyond to even report on packages being delivered, etc. I will definitely use him again!”
About: I've cared for pets at a boarding facility and have even assisted with grooming and walking at a shelter for some time. It's a pleasure to provide the best care for my clients beloved pets! I have full availability weekdays and weekends! I have lots of time for walks, care and playtime. I also will be available to take dogs to the nearby dog park upon request. I have decent sized front & backyard. I have 4 friendly cats. I also have an older female dog who is spayed and well behaved. She can be kept separated from other pets, but is not typically aggressive toward cats or other dogs.
“Jaime is the very best that Rover has to offer - we are so lucky she was available to check in on our kitties while we were away for Labor Day Weekend. Jaime provided such thorough updates, including dozens of pictures, and was so attentive to the needs of our cats. She took the time to get to know them individually and went above and beyond to make sure they were engaged, happy, and healthy. I have no doubts that our cats are already wondering when Jaime will be back to play!”
About: I have manged a no-kill Humane Society for 28 years, I am certified in pet first aid, emergency care and we have a close working relationship with our vet. I have multiple years of training and behavior experience. We have been boarding pets in our home for 15 years, all of our pets are social and love to interact with other dogs. We have 2 areas fenced in, 1 is a small 15 x 30 area we use as a late night potty area and the other is 1 1/2 acres that is fenced with 4' fencing. We have multiple pet gates set up in the house to deter door bolters. Your dog will need to be able to get along with cats in order to stay with us. Both my husband and I work full time but have staggered hours so pets are only alone for 4 to 6 hours at a time. If needed your pet can go to the humane society with me when I work. I have a fenced yard and multiple Baby gates throughout my house to insure safety. I have worked with all ranges of dogs from puppy to hospice and feel comfortable with each.

Olivia C.
“Olivia took care of my dog (Alaskan malamute age 10 years) and did a great job. She had a spare key to my apartment and would check on mishka for me, would take her out to potty and fed her on time. She also took he rout for walks and even brought her to a few other places. She was very well taken care of and I'd definitely ask her to watch Mishka again.”

Alecia A.
“I have an extremely difficult dog. She's not super friendly with strangers so I have to be very careful who I leave her with when I am unable to take her with me on my travels. Alecia has worked very hard to make friends with my Sasha and makes accommodation for her special needs so Sasha comes home from her visit happy and without any unpleasant reviews of her less than ideal behavior. I also like that my fur kids get to be in a home setting rather then a kennel. You can trust Alecia to provide for all the needs of your fur family member, whether it be special behavior considerations or extra attention due to medical requirements. Additionally, she has a wide range of experience with a variety of different types of animals. I will definetly utilize her services for any of my future pet-sitting needs.”
