“Betsy was very loving with my dog, Lucy! She communicated with me the entire time I was away, which I really appreciated! Her dog Frida, is now Lucy's new best friend. Betsy has a nice fenced backyard that the dogs were able to run and play out there. She also sent me picture updates and I could tell that Lucy felt right at home. I HIGHLY recommend Betsy and Frida as your next Rover option!”
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help in finding Sadie a new and wonderful home with a playmate. Your attention and love towards animals is so refreshing. Thank you for everything once again.”
“I had a miscommunication with our usual sitter about my reservation, and he recommended Dr. Hope to cover the stay. She enthusiastically accepted our last minute reservation! I was so happy that she was available and took such great care of my dog. Lots of updates and pictures, and all of my senior dog's needs were met. I recommend Dr. Hope and will probably reserve with her again in the future!”
“We LOVED how Danielle took care of our Josie. I think Josie loved her, too! We got several notes each day, with pics and an occasional video. It was clear that Josie was truly enjoying her stay. Huge thanks go to Danielle for taking on our 75 pound, energetic lab. High recommendations for her - but leave room on her calendar for future Josie visits.”
“Amirah and daisy seemed to be very happy and enjoyed their time. Tatiana provided pictures and communicated effectively in order to make us comfortable for letting our puppies stay at a new place. We are very satisfied with her care. Our pups were very excited to be there!”
About: I bring trust, compassion, and a whole lot of snuggles to every visit. Whether it's a tail-wagging walk or a cozy cuddle session, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for like they’re my own. I’m available for pet sitting at any time on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. On all other days of the week, I’m happy to help after 5pm. I offer attentive, in-home pet care where each furry guest is treated like family. My home provides a safe, cozy, and relaxed environment designed for comfort and play. With a securely fenced backyard, pets have plenty of room to romp, sniff, and soak up sunshine, all while staying protected. Whether it’s snuggle time inside or tail-wagging adventures outdoors, I create a nurturing space where pets feel loved, calm, and right at home.
“Jessie & her family hosted our beloved girls this past week and it was an easy and reassuring experience. Jessie is very flexible and communicative, kind and pleasant and seems to truly enjoy hosting dogs. Our labradoodles were calm and happy upon pickup and they seemed to have enjoyed their time with walks, snuggles and play with Jessie’s own small pup. Thank you to Jessie and her crew for a great boarding experience.”
“This was our first time using Alicia and our 11 year old dog had previously been going to another lady for several years. His first night with Alicia he was a little sad and unsure but he acclimated quickly. Alicia was very responsive to us when we reached out and made him feel safe and secure.”
“I left Lenny with Mikakyla two years ago while visiting Florida. I was back last week and had her watch him again. She is great, responsive, and looks like Lenny had fun and was well cared for. Highly recommend Mikayla”
“Nothing short of amazing. Lori kept in touch with updates and pictures. Our pups we genuinely happy there. Very accommodating, just good people. We will definitely use Lori again!”
“Thelma could not have been more warm and caring for our little poodle/bichon Rusty. Rusty fit in perfectly with her two small dogs and seemed to have a wonderful time. I feel very confident leaving our little boy with Thelma and look forward to having hers as his regular home away from home.”
“Cyndee was fantastic! She took great care of Rocket, my dachshund mix, while I was out of town for a weekend trip. She updated us throughout the weekend, and most importantly kept him an extra day after my flight home was cancelled. That definitely took a huge weight off my shoulders. Plus, Rocket had a blast!”
“Terrific care and love generatedfrom Tracy to Millie. Plays ball and takes walks with Millie on a daily basis. She asked for permission to take for car rides and trips, that Millie thoroughly enjoys, and I enthusiastically approved. She relieved the apprehension I had about leaving, enabling me to enjoy my vacation.”
“Tara is AMAZING! Our pup boarded with her full time for a week while we were out of town. Professional, caring, reliable, and communicative, just to name a few of her wonderful care giving qualities. Lots of pictures and communication every day. Even on short notice and on top of that our pup started going into a heat cycle while in her care. Tara kept us updated and made sure our pup was safe, loved, and cared for. Could not be happier with this experience and I highly recommend Tara!”
“Asya and family are wonderful! They all come running out to greet Yogi and I when we get there, and can tell they are really excited to have him. Asya is timely with updates, and really easy to work with. Can't recommend enough!”
“Adela was great with Trixie, very understanding of her anxiety and happy to keep her comfortable while I was away. She sent photos and updates daily of their adventures to the park which I appreciated!”
“Winston had a great stay at Morgan’s. Lots of cuddle time with her little ones and he loved playing outside in the fenced in backyard. I would highly recommend Morgan and hope to use here again in the future.”
“Sky has been nothing short of a lifesaver for both my dog and I. I needed to find my dog, Brier, a place to stay very unexpectedly and we found Sky who was able to take him in. Then Brier had medical issues which she also had to look after. Brier fully recovered and is most definitely enjoying his stay! We will most definitely be coming back to see Sky!”

Diana took a last minute boarding for us as we were in town from Denver but had car troubles and didn’t get to ski as planned. Her taking our reservation made it so we could get a few runs in before we left and still make sure our pup was taken care of! She only had her for a few hours but took her on a walk, let her sun bathe and sent photos throughout her stay. Would book her again next time we’re in big sky!

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
