“Rachel is amazing! Our senior dog had so much fun playing with the other pups and being so spoiled in her home. She was very accommodating to all the senior dog needs and even had homemade treats and chicken for our dog to eat when she was sad after we departed. She also did a great job with new dog introductions to the dogs in the house. Highly recommend Rachel for any and all dog care! We'll be using her again and again and again.”



“Kris made my first rover booking experience extremely easy, I had a sitter pull out last minute and Kris and her puppy crew were sure to pick up the pieces and make sure my pup felt at home. Lots of pictures and updates were provided throughout the visit. She is a wiz with small dogs especially! Our chihuhah terrier has been known to be a barker but fell right in line under Krises care. We are so so grateful we found her! Thank you again Kris! We will be rebooking.”


“Our dog Mochi can be pretty nervous and slow to warm up, but she was comfortable at Lisa’s home right away, which was really comforting to see. She also got one of her longest walks in recent memory - thanks Lisa!”


“Carol is simply one of the best in her care for animals and for our aging dog who needed extra attention. She treated Bailey like he was one of her own. We will definitely use her again.”


“My dog Aurora has had trouble adapting to some boarding facilities as we've been moving around a lot the last two years, but she seemed to get comfortable right from the meet and greet with Debra (and River). Very happy with how things went while I was away!”


“Our Bella had a good time with Leslie! It was her first time away from home and she came home happy and very excited. Leslie is very knowledgeable about dogs and gave us a lot of good feed back on things to work with our little Bella. Bella is a 1 and 1/2 year old pug. Thank you! K”


“My dog Oly is a sketchy dog but she was happy under Chelsea's care. She had some playmate, it felt like I was dropping my child off at the daycare. Ready to play! Chelsea clipped Oly's nail for me too. Thanks for the extra attention.”


“My honey and I have been using Ms. Dollys services to watch our two naughty 75 pound plus babies for a few months now. I think we have boarded our dogs a total 4 times with her. She’s always super accommodating and willing for emergency stay overs if your 4 hour drive from Oregon turns into 8 hours (life saver). Ms. Dolly handles my helicopter dog mom ways and assures me “ I got this” ( she really does) Our babies LOVE Ms. Dolly and even know her by name. They get some serious zooms when we leash up by the door and mention dolly town. Upon first arriving a few months ago I was so happy to see she has a full on kennel set up, rubber washable mats, large and heated areas to run and play on icky days. Toys, leashes you name it. We even forgot our food one time, no worries dolly had a back up that matched the very specific sweet potato and salmon diet we had going. It’s like having a family member watch your dogs but the family member is also super professional and also operates a full puppy bizniz. Upon arrival you will be asked to fill out a secondary form, shots, vet, food routine, emergency contact ect. Ms. dolly is seriously a pro. Drop off is always super emotional for us but Ms. Dolly always sends pics and videos. It seems like she hangs out with our dogs all day by how much play time they actually get. They even did a bonfire and hung out with our pups the way we would do in our backyard. Your dogs are family and it shows. Ms. Dolly has a full backyard where your dogs can run and play and party all night if they wanted. This is a serious plus for our very energetic pitbull and spaz German Sheppard. I would never choose another boarder. Thank you Ms. Dolly, we love you! - Brandon, Katy, Ghost and Ranger.”


“Melissa, Ryan and family take very good care of my schnauzer. This is my second time leaving her there and they were delightful to deal with. They seemed to treat her as their own (and they do have 2 other dogs). My dog is young but doesn’t play with other dogs, and she tells other dogs exactly that. They got along very well. Would be happy to leave my dog there again.”


“Cher was amazing with my dog. Very professional, had experience with her medication, took her on plenty of walks and gave her plenty of love. I know my dog felt right at home, as soon as we entered Cher’s place I was chopped liver! I would definitely book with Cher again.”


“Michelle is so caring and kind, she is the best sitter I’ve ever had. My dog Daisy usually has accidents when she stays in a new place, but she never had any accident with Michelle, Michelle and her family made her feel very safe and cared for. We will definitely book with Michelle anytime we are away!”


“Lenore was great, she was very attentive and sent us lots of videos of our dog playing with hers. She took our dog on lots of walks and played fetch with hers in the backyard. Her dog was also very friendly and played lots with ours, would definitely recommend for anyone who needs a pet sitter!”


“Susan has an excellent way with my dogs. She was gentle and calming, and helped my timid one feel safe and comfortable. I feel quite confident my pups are in good hands with her!”


About: As a lifelong pet owner, I've always had a deep love and understanding for animals. Growing up with dogs and a cat, I learned the importance of providing compassion, patience, and amazing care. My experience extends beyond my own pets, I have frequently cared for family and friends' pets, often stepping in as their trusted sitter or walker when they needed help. While also providing bathes and medication as needed. I pride myself on being a reliable caregiver who treats every pet as if they were my own, ensuring their happiness and well-being at all times! I’m currently available any day of the week/weekends. This schedule allows me to give pet care my full attention! Morning walks, midday breaks or walks, evening playtime and walks. I am available to provide the love and attention and pet needs. I have a sweet 6yr old Yorkie Poodle (Luna) who has grown up around cats and dogs, friendly with kids! She can be a great friend for your furry animal. She gets to go on daily walks, even small hikes or play at dog parks and the beach. Caring for others pets and their specific needs is absolutely possible for me to do! They will always get the care and attention needed!

“Bruno had an AWESOME time with Aretha at her home. She kept me updated on Bruno’s behavior, had a treat ready for him, sent pictures, and he even received a bath. Her kids were great with Bruno too. I will book with Aretha again.”


“Kendra was phenomenal with my our dog! We've used her services on another vacation about a year ago, and our dog definitely remembered! Clear communication with regular updates and photos. 10/10!”

Lindsey J.
“We’re so grateful to have found Lindsey—she’s truly the best dog mom when we’re not around. She’s watched our dog on several occasions, sometimes for multiple nights, and every time we pick him up, he’s relaxed, happy, and maybe even a little bummed to leave. Honestly, we’re starting to think he might love her more than he loves us (and we can’t blame him). Her care, attention, and obvious love for animals give us total peace of mind when we’re away. If you’re looking for someone to treat your pup like family, Lindsey’s your person.”
