First time using Mary for our boys George and Frank on a week long trip. Having recently moved from the PNW we have had to find our new “dog people” and this has been very anxiety provoking! Mary was great with them and sent me pictures throughout the week, we added on baths at the end of the week so they were fresh for our return. We will absolutely send them to Mary’s for our future vacations ?

Samantha is the best! This is the 4th time she has watched our puppy. Teddy had a bit of an upset tummy when we dropped him off. She updated us often with how he was doing throughout his stay. We knew he was in good hands. He is all better now. Samantha was also flexible with our pickup time when we arrived home a little later than planned. I highly recommend Samantha.

I typically leave Bootz with my parents so I was extremely nervous to try someone new. I absolutely loved Jacklyn! I didn't have to check in (which I thought I would have to do) because Jacklyn sent morning and evening updates with pictures. She provided very vivid descriptions including his habits for the day, what he was eating and what he was drinking. She even slept on the couch with Bootz in the living room because he doesn't sleep well by himself. Jacklyn was perfect. I will be utilizing Jacklyn for all of my future boarding needs!

Jackson was courteous and responsive and even waived a meet and greet based on our dogs pictures and videos which was greatly appreciated given our tight schedule and distance. Obi looked happy at pickup and we have no concerns. My daughter would’ve loved more pictures of Obi while we were away, but no real complaints here! Thank you!

Couldn’t ask for a better sitter than Kelsey for our cat. We received daily updates and fun pics and Kelsey also went above and beyond to keep our spoiled cat comfortable with her usual habits 😄. I’m happy to recommend Kelsey to anyone and I hope she will always be available when we need care for Rain.

I will absolutely be asking Leah to watch my dog again while I’m out of town! From the beginning during the meet and greet I felt at ease with her knowledge of the German shepherd breed (since she has her own) and she would provide a great experience for my dog while I was away. She was constantly sending me updates with pictures/videos and I could see how comfortable my dog was with her and Shiloh. I was so nervous to leave my dog with someone for the first time but I truly could not have asked for a better experience. If you’re considering using Leah, please do! She will make sure your fur baby is taken care of. Thank you so much, Leah!!

David was awesome with Bubba! He sent constant videos so I always knew Bubba was happy and in good hands. He even managed to get him to take his medicine when it was being difficult, which I really appreciated. Very flexible with pick up and drop off times and super helpful whenever I needed anything. Would definitely recommend him and will be using him again!

Nicole was excellent with our dog Prime. He is a larger very excitable dog and we always are concerned when finding a new sitter. But, Nicole was able to calm him and take him on walks. The pictures she sent during his stay showed a happy and content dog. We recommend Nicole highly and will definitely book again.

About: Hi, I’m Ash! I’ve lived with dogs my entire life and truly consider them part of the family. I run five days a week and love running with dogs, so I’d be happy to take yours out for some exercise! My schedule is flexible: I work from home full-time during the summer and am only away a couple of afternoons a week during the school year. I’m comfortable caring for intelligent, playful, and anxious pups, and I also have experience with dogs who have complex medical needs. I’ve cared for dogs requiring eye drops, insulin injections, oral medications, and support with incontinence. I also have experience with elderly, anxious, and medically complex dogs. Before caring for your dog, I’d love to get to know both you and your pup. I require a meet-and-greet to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. Because we have two children, ages 4 and 6, in our home, dogs must be kid-friendly. I work from home and can snuggle and let dogs out throughout the day. I can go on a run with your pup or take them on a walk, depending on what's best for them. I treat every dog like part of the family while they’re here. I know being away from home can be stressful for pets, so I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment with lots of attention, affection, and supervision. Dogs are welcome to relax with us, get plenty of snuggles, and go outside frequently for potty breaks and fresh air. We have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and play. I pay close attention to each dog’s routine, personality, and comfort level, whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer a quieter environment. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walk routines, and any other care preferences you provide. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, cared for, and as at-home as possible while you’re away.

Gabe took excellent care of my elderly high-maintenance dog, who is on four different medications. Gabe communicated with me at least once a day with photos and updates. My dog was relaxed and happy when I picked her up, unlike after a kennel stay, when she's frantic upon my return. I would not hesitate to leave my dog with Gabe again.

Leslie took great care of my dog, Pax, while we were out of town for one week. I had accidentally forgot medication for my dog (felt so guilty!) and she even went to costco and picked up new prescription for him. I got pics and videos and updates daily. He made lots of new friends and was spoiled. Was not sure if he would want to come home after his stay with Leslie! Thank you for taking such good care of my baby!

I loved having Leah watch my pups!! I left both my 2 yr old husky mix and my 6 month old pit mix pup with Leah for a whole week and she was amazing! She sent a lot of updates and made sure to notify us if anything obscure happened. She is very knowledgeable about dog behaviors and was very cautious when introducing situations that may be triggering for some dogs (ie: Food, toys etc.). I highly recommend booking with Leah as she will love your pups as her own!
