“Perfect sitter for our elderly chihuahua/Boston! Took great care of her and our little one warmed right up to her and her kids and other dogs.”
“Kenai had so much fun going on hikes and playing in the lakes. Updates gave us a great peace of mind that our fur baby was being well taken care of. Casey and Jacob wore her out which is very hard to do. We highly recommend them.”
“Madelyn took fantastic care of our pup! He has a lot of energy but somehow came home nice and tired. Appreciated her laid back easy going nature! Would definitely recommend!”
“Harley LOVED staying with them! This is definitely where we will be putting her when we’re out of town. Couldn’t have enough nice things to say. They have plenty of space for a dog any size.”
“Ashley was incredibly kind. She was patient with me when I was running late and even managed to cut my dogs nails when he wouldn't let me do it. She goes above and beyond. Wish I could give her more stars.”
“Hawken is a genuine ‘dog person’! What a gift. Our boy, who is always hesitant with people took right to him and even went back to him to say goodbye before getting in the car. We are thrilled!”
“Boarding my two pups with Rebecca and her son was great! Dropoff and pickup were straightforward, she sent me pics and updates throughout the week, and even gave the doggos a bath! I could not have asked for better care.”
“I felt super comfortable leaving my dog with Lucy for a week. She kept me updated with photos and videos and I could see that my dog was spending plenty of time socializing outside. I highly recommend Lucy!”
“We have used Britney a couple times now and I can’t tell you how happy we are with her. Sammy is always super happy to go to her home. Brittany and her whole family are super caring and loving. She sends me pictures and videos of Sammy while I am away. I definitely know she is take really good care of Sammy! We will definitely continue to use Brittany and I highly recommend her!!”
“Tania was wonderful! She took our pup on walks and brought her along on outings with the family. She was quick to respond to my messages and answered all of my question. Drop off and pick up were easy. My nervous puppy happily followed her into the house as soon as she met Tania. Highly recommend! We will definitely book with her again next time we need someone to watch our pup.”
“Christina and her family were wonderful. Jessa seemed to have had a great time with them, as evidenced by the fact that she slept for hours after I picked her up. Good communication. I would def have them sit again if I come back through this area.”
“Tina was a great dog sitter for my 2 pups. She was very attentive and sent a lot of pictures. She was very flexible when unexpected circumstances come up with my planned return date. Tina had prompt responses to all of my messages, and she went out of her way to make the pups feel at home. I recommend her for your dog sitting needs and will be using her in the future!”
About: I'm an outgoing person and love to hang out with animals! I have 3 dogs of my own and really enjoy spending time with them at home or outside. I work from home, which gives me time during the day to care for and play with allll the animals! I'm available most days and have a flexible schedule :) I have toys/bones/treats, a yard, and a garage to play in, plus 3 friendly dogs who love playing! I also have a large kennel if your dog likes/needs to have one available.
About: I have experience with small to giant breed dogs. From kitten to senior cats. Additionally I have experience with administering medication via shot(for cats and dogs), pill, mousse, cream, and I have wound care experience. I have had several years of pet car from puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats. Additionally I have cared for some varieties of fish and amphibians. Animal care is my top priority. I work full time but I work 5 minutes from home allowing me to visit home every day for lunch. My work schedule is 5 days a week but with being so close to home I am able to visit the house every four hours. Additionally I have weekends off as well. I do not have a fenced yard but I do have 2 friendly dogs and a yard that I can walk your dog on a leash in. My dogs are very well trained and stay in the yard without a leash. Additionally my dogs come in the house on command, no dog will ever be unattended when under my care. My dogs get along with cats and ferrets as well. We like to joke that our orange cat trained both of our dogs.
“I am absolutely thrilled with the care Joy provided for my Zeus while I was away. From the moment we met, it was clear that she is a true animal lover, and my dog immediately warmed up to her and the other animals living in her home. The accommodations were exactly what he needed (large yard, adequate space to live), the communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates and photos that put me at ease. Zeus was happy, well-exercised, and clearly well-cared for when I returned. I seriously couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Joy to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter. As long as she is available, there’s no other sitter that can beat this level of care! Thanks Joy!”
“Absolutely best dog sitters!! Got pictures or videos every day or every other day (which I perfered. Both brother and sister were supper accommodating and flexible about pick up and drop off. Asked about extra special food while on trip for the dogs to eat. Super friendly and I was super lucky to have found them for my first try on Rover. 6 stars.”
“Let me just say Wow because I can’t say enough about Alexis. She was amazing with Sherlock. We met a couple of weeks ahead of time so she could meet Sherlock and me. We needed someone to watch Sherlock while we packed up the U-Haul to move across country. She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and even offered to pick her up so we would not have to worry about getting to Alexis’ home (which is beautiful by the way). On top of all that she met us at the highway exit so that we would not have to drive the u-haul too far off the highway. Sherlock loved Alexis and Buddy and if we were still living in the state we would make her our permanent puppy sitter.”
