“Brianna was super flexible with scheduling a meet & greet along with pick up and drop off times. She was very communicative and sent us updates during our pups stay! We are pleased first time users of Rover!”
“Penny had so much fun on her sleepover at Kristy’s! Kristy took the dogs on a long walk in the woods and sent lots of photos so I could see the adventures they went on too. Her house is very well dog-proofed with a fenced yard and lots of cozy spots for the dogs to relax at home, and her dogs are very friendly companions. Penny can’t wait for her next stay with Kristy!”
“Great communication, very patient and understanding when there were some in-house accidents, sent pictures and updates which was appreciated! Overall I felt great leaving Aina with Alyssa. I recommend!”
“Noel is becoming our go-to sitter already. Our dog can be high strung, but she came home relaxed and happy, which is really impressive. We really appreciated Noel's excellent communication and updates!”
“Mabel was smiling when I picked her up from Ruth's house. She didn't even want me to pick her up to put her in the vehicle. Ruth was great about sending videos and photos. She is very easy-going and took great care of Mabel. She has a fenced in yard which is a plus!”
About: I've lived with and cared for dogs most of my life and they always love to hang out with me when I'm around. My friends tell me when I come over I spend more time playing with their dog than I do hanging out with them. Always stoked to meet more fur friends! Currently working part time sharpening clipper blades and scissors for groomers so I get to see local fur friends often and I have plenty of time to hang out with them. I am very good at intuitively knowing when a dog needs something when I take care of dogs in their home, and I am also very attentive to the preferences of the owner for any special treatment their pup might need. I prefer to get familiar with a new dog before bringing them to my house but I can be an excellent host! I have acres of land out at my place and tons of groomed trails to take them around me.
About: Dog lover! I've gone through basic manner courses for dogs. My husband and I currently have a very sociable labrador retriever who'd love to spend time with your pet. I'm available for weekend boarding as I work full-time. I am available for play dates and walks, too, during the week. Pretty open weekends schedules. I make sure to give the fur babies lots of play time and cuddles (if wanted). We've got a large yard for your dog to roam (on a leash).
About: I have many years of personal experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. I love animals and will treat your pets as if they were my own. I work full time, but I’m available before 9 and after 5 M-F. I have all day availability on Saturday and Sunday. I might be able to go during my lunch if close by. I have a fenced in yard. I great responsibility to care for my animals. I make sure to keep dogs in a leash when walking them and to use caution crossing the street and around cars.
“Our boys Simba and Mowgli were very well taken care off, and seemed very relaxed when we picked them up. Brianna was very responsive to our messages, and very accomodating. We will definitely use her again as dog sitter.”

Scott E.
“We have had Scott take care of our dogs on multiple occasions. We had an older whippet(who has now passed away), and a highly energetic lab. If we go anywhere we are likely taking them with us, but the situations that it wasn’t possible, Scott was always our first call. He was able to adhere to our older dog’s dietary instructions and also provide them both with adequate exercise as needed. He cared for them and made sure to give them the affection they both were accustomed to. Scott would be a great person to rely on to care for your dogs!”
