They provided Oscar with lots of walks, love, and care during our time away and the communication and updates were AWESOME and very much appreciated!!

“Katie was amazing! This was my first time boarding my rescue, so I was very nervous. My dog is also a naturally very anxious dog, and her family and dog made him feel right at home! She sent updates everyday and it truly made me feel a lot more secure being away from my pup. He immediately came home and curled up to go to sleep, so mission accomplished! I will definitely be messaging Katie again next time I head out of town.”

“Gladys is the best sitter that I’ve found on the app🥹 you can tell that she really cared for Butter and treated him like her own.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ponder home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Ponder.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Ponder sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
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.
