Aaron was absolutely fabulous with my dog, Rufus! He we flexible with time and great with providing updates. Knowing that Rufus had backyard to play in and one on one care was ideal for us. Rufus came back to us in a great mood. It was truly doggie vacation for him!

I had a last minute booking need come up and I’m so glad I did so I could meet Elisabeth! Elisabeth was so wonderful and caring to my dog. I was really excited to see she has other small dogs, and Louise had a blast running around with her crew. Elisabeth was incredibly caring, she sent really thorough updates and made Louise feel right at home after I left. I felt so at ease knowing my sensitive little dog was so well cared for and had some friends to play with. I would absolutely bring Louise back and highly recommend Elisabeth!

Benny was sad for 2 days after I brought him home from his "vacation"!! I think he had more fun at Vicky's than I had in Mexico! I'm sure he can't wait until the next time I go away; I hope she'll be available again. As we drove away from her house, he stared out the window and whined! He almost never whines! Her dog and mine played for days straight until their energy ran out. She has a fantastic fenced backyard and plenty of dog toys (all of which Benny promptly pulled out during our meet-n-greet). She also sends photo updates while you're gone, which were so cute. Awesome experience! Hope we can do it again.

This was our second time leaving Pepper with Sarah, and our longest time away from her since we adopted her. Sarah did a great job communicating with us throughout our week away, sending pictures and videos and keeping us posted on how Pepper was doing. Pepper can be a bit nervous at times but it is obvious she had a great time at Sarah's house and Sarah made her feel at ease. Sarah is a great sitter who I'd recommend to anyone!

I cannot recommend Rose enough! She sent me updates all throughout the days she had Dane. I could tell Dane was comfortable around her through the pictures she sent. Rose was attentive & observant to his needs. I know she took wonderful care of my boy. I felt so at ease the entire time while I was away. I will only book with Rose in the future!

Elizabeth is awesome! We left our chihuahua with her for about 2 weeks while we were out of town, and we felt so comfortable knowing our little baby was in such a loving home, with someone who adores dogs as much as Elizabeth does! She sent us pictures, videos, and sweet little updates everyday, and we even had the opportunity to FaceTime with our little angel 🐾 We forgot to pack our dog’s winter coat, and it got quite cold, but Elizabeth had an extra coat that she bundled her in to make sure she was safe and warm on their walks through Evergreen. Also, our little pup gets nervous when we leave her and sometimes won’t eat because of it, but Elizabeth HAND FED her! And then she ate her whole dinner like that. Can you believe that? If that doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about how much Elizabeth cares, I don’t know what will. One more way that Elizabeth went above and beyond that really meant the world to us, was how flexible she was with scheduling. We had some unexpected very-last-minute changes to our trip, but Elizabeth was extremely accommodating, kind, and patient. She really had our back. Elizabeth is such a good person, and you can tell that she really cares about you, as well as your dog. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and above-and-beyond to take care of your beloved dog, look no further! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you Elizabeth!

We had a wonderful experience with Alma, who invited our Whoopie into her home and family. When possible, Alma also arranges a meet and greet before the stay to ensure a good fit. Thank you so much Alma! We hope we can meet again and reunite dogs and people.

Kathleen took great care of our puppy Fiona. She even dropped her off for us when we got home! She was laid back about Fiona’s puppy behaviors and kept us updated with texts and pictures. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!!

Karla is amazing! She is responsible, caring, and trustworthy. There are very few people I trust to care for my dog and Karla is at the top of the list. She always makes sure he is well loved, exercised, and happy. She is a great dog mom and very understanding when it comes to pet parents anxiety around their furry friends, she takes the time to send us pictures of our pup while we are away for extended periods. Kayla is the best!

I am so lucky to have Silvia as my go-to cat sitter! When I see her interact with my two cats, you can just tell how much she loves and understands animals and their behaviors. Not only does she care for them and entertain them, but she will often create new games or toys for them out of scraps around the house! I always get the sweetest pictures and updates, and I know that I can relax and enjoy my time away with Silvia on watch. She's kind, trustworthy and just the BEST around! Her services are priceless and she's worth every penny!

Kylie & John watched my dog Kate for two weeks and I could tell by the photos and text updates that she was relaxed and comfortable in their home. They are very easy going and caring; real dog lovers who understand dog behavior. When I picked up Kate, she was calm and seemingly happy. I was too, knowing that she was in the best of care while I was away. Thank you Kylie and John! Kate hopes to stay with you again.

Ryan has always had dogs in his life, whether his own or those entrusted to his care. He loves them and they love him. They know he is always up for a long walk, playtime, or a cuddle—it’s heartwarming to see how they interact.
