“Shelby was great! Her home was clean and her yard was huge and fully fenced. Her dogs were friendly. We got lots of photos and a video during our dog’s stay. She came home happy and exhausted!”



“I think Murray enjoyed staying with Julie and Joe. We loved getting picture updates while we were away. Definitely will be booking with Julie again!! Thanks for taking great care of our Murray!!”


“Jaime is simply outstanding. Our two cats were extremely well cared for during our two week vacation. We were provided regular updates and pictures and never had to worry about how they were adjusting, if they were eating, if they were feeling comfortable enough to play, etc. Jaime is an absolute gem and you will be hard pressed to find anyone that will take better care of your pets.”


“My 2.5 year old Australian Shepherd had an absolute blast with Loren and Sari! They have a huge piece of land allowing my dog, Burton to run around freely and rest when he wanted. I feel like Sari and Loren welcomed Burton into their home and loved him as one of their own. Burton for sure had a blast and is dog-tired from all the fun he had today!”


“Bronco’s first time being watched by a stranger and what an amazing first time experience. Loved the pictures everyday, the love and attention he was shown, the playtime with her very friendly huskies. Amanda is knowledgeable and compassionate of dogs, their unique needs and behaviors. He came home happy, content, and tuckered out from all the exercise.”


“The best review I can give is that I think my dog was depressed to be home because he missed Kathy and her husband so much!! Chewy loved being there,I loved getting the pictures to start my day. Best experience ever for me and my pup!!”



“Mischa had the best time staying with Kathy and her pups! Kathy was super responsive and flexible with our scheduling and even administered our dogs meds like a pro. Mischa also had such an amazing time playing with Eddie and Maddie that she slept for a whole day when she got home :). Thanks Kathy for taking such good care of our fur baby!”

“This is the first time we had ever used Rover and it was a great experience. We received several pictures to see how Layla was doing during her 18 day stay. I highly recommend Katy to care for your dogs. We will be back again!!!”


“Trina loves dogs, it's plain to see. My dog enjoys his overnight stay's over her home because he gets lots of love & gets to play with her dogs. I feel that he's happy while in her care & well taken care of! I'll definitely use her more when we go out of town. :)”


“Rosie had a wonderful time visiting and playing with her new found friends! Thank you Savannah for taking such great care of our puppy Rosie! Highly recommend and personable!”


“Melissa did a great job taking care of my old lady dog Sikari! She was very patient and gentle with her. I got lots of pictures with updates with how Sikari was eating and sleeping. I always felt confident that Sikari was in good hands.”


“My dog had a great time at Becky’s playing with two dogs that were there. She even went on a special family outing with them (with our permission). Becky sent pictures and videos which made our time away extra enjoyable. My dog doesn’t usually eat when she’s away from home but Becky said she had no problem with eating. I attribute that to Becky creating such a comforting, home-like experience for her. I will definitely be booking Becky again!”


“Stephen and Rachel were wonderful for boarding our cat, Nori. They are just the nicest couple and ommunication was always quick and easy. Their home is warm, inviting, and peaceful. They have two adorable cats of their own that were relaxed and friendly. After leaving Nori with Stephen and Rachel for over a week, she returned home in perfect shape. We would absolutely reach out to Stephen and Rachel for any future boarding needs. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our Nori!”


“Jordan was so friendly and good to our girl. She kept me updated and was understanding when we ran late picking up Phoebe. Phoebe seemed to really enjoy her time at Jordan’s. We would definitely recommend and ask her in the future needs.”


“Mr Bear is an old grumpy dog who doesn’t take change easily. I was worried how he would adapt to strange people in a strange place. I didn’t need to worry. Via the pictures Sarah sent in a daily basis, he was sitting in the bed, getting along everyone even the dog. I was impressed by the love and care Mr Bear got. Will definitely use her again.”


“Ashtyn is very nice and Bimmer seemed to really enjoy her and her dog Gus. I was provided with pics/videos when we were away and communication was awesome! We will definitely be using her again in the future.”


About: I am used to dealing with cats and dogs of all sizes and nature. I have pet sat and house sat for friends and family. I have a free weekly schedule with lots of flexibility. I am available to any strange hours or days. I love animals and make time. I am always respectful of each houses rule and maintain boundaries with the animals without being harsh. Always clean after myself and never leave a mess.

“Reed and Natalie watched our dog, Maggie, and they were amazing! Sent us daily updates with pictures and videos and Maggie always looked so happy! We ran into travel issues returning home and they were very flexible with timing of picking her up and were even willing to watch her another night if needed. Highly recommend them!”
