“Sandra was great, she sent us plenty of pictures and made Flan and Ruger feel right at home. Not to mention she was very generously flexible with our drop off and pick up times after some flight confusions.”

“Taylor and Liv were the best when it came to taking care of Atlas! They were very attentive, detail oriented, and made sure to update me daily on how Atlas was doing. They took him on plenty of walks and gave him lots of cuddles. I will absolutely be using them again in in the near future.”

“Rebecca is a gem! She kept my 6 yr old 35 lb dog at her sunny apartment for 2 nights. They went to the farmers market, on lots of walks, and hung out with her grandkids. She sent lots of pictures and I enjoyed chatting with her when I picked up my dog.”

“As first time Rover users, we feel so fortunate to have found Nad in taking great care of our senior cat, Chase & Corgi dog, Koji. She had kept us posted with daily pics and feedback of our fur babies which really helped put us at ease while we were away. It can be such a challenge when leaving an old cat and a younger dog to the care of someone new, thankfully Nad was able to fulfill the duty and made the boarding experience both peaceful and fun for my pets. We will definitely be back for Nad's service in the future the next time we plan a trip away from home.”

“Paul and Arnel were the best hosts! They were excellent communicators, sent us tons of pics of our boy, and did so many fun things with him. It really felt like they made him part of their family. I would highly recommend them to any pup parent.”

“Amber was wonderful with our sweet little Maple! She kept us updated and made it very clear that maple was in great hands. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy company for their furry friends”

“Kristopher was the perfect match for Murph and was willing to accommodate us last minute. He was very reassuring and put me at ease since I hadn’t left Murph in a while. Murph came home happy and rested. Highly recommend and would love to use again if the situation arises.”
“When you have a dog who’s been through trauma and has a health condition, it can be stressful to leave them. It was so nice to leave our pup with Vandy and know she was so well taken care of. We plan to book with Brittany again the next time we go out of town.”

“Our senior corgi had a fantastic experience and was well cared for. I received frequent updates, which I really appreciated. I always received quick responses. Overall a very positive experience.”

“Keelan and his wife were so wonderful to my baby boy Domino. They were communicative and flexible with my return from the Gorge Ampitheatre (you never know how much traffic there will be) they sent pics multiple times a day and based on the cuddles I saw in the photos I can tell Domino made himself at home with them and their two cute pups, Loki and Minty. I would absolutely recommend them and hope to book with them again. Highly recommend!”

“Vanessa took great care of our elderly pup! She came back very relaxed and rested which is just the way she likes it. Very responsive and great communication, will definitely use her again when we need someone to watch her!”


“As always, Holly is the best. Communication is great, lots of status updates, etc. We always feel good when our pup is in her hands - invaluable!!”

“Evita is an amazing sitter!! I found her somewhat last minute, and she was nothing but incredible. My dog had a lovely time while I was away for work for a few days. She was attentive, made sure my dog had plenty of walks and playtime. She has a small dog, and my dog and hers got along so well! Definitely going to be using her all summer as my permanent sitter!”

“Our pup had a wonderful stay! Lajetta sent tons of pictures of our dog while we were away and was super responsive to texts. We will definitely try and book her again in the future!”

“Zack was so sweet and caring with Fonzie! Fonzie came home to us calm & happy. We also had issues with flight delays and Zack was so flexible and kind about having to extend our stay. 10/10 would recommend him!”

About: I get my first dog in 2019 and my second in 2024. I’ve had to administer medications when they have had surgeries. Both of my dogs are nervous so I know how to care for those. I haven’t worked with any other animals but I am willing to learn. I go to school Tuesdays and Thursdays but if needed, I can sit after school after 3pm. I am free every other day and can start boarding Thursday afternoon until Monday night or Tuesday afternoon until Wednesday night. I live in an apartment but I can still walk your dog outside where there’s grass. I do also have a dog who is getting used to other dogs but he is not a fighter. I can also cage one or the other easily if needed. If pet needs to be fed, you must provide the food. I can provide water of course.
“My pugs loved staying with Amy and her family! They got lots of love and attention, and enjoyed hanging out with Amy's personal pugs. Amy sent pictures and updates frequently, which made me feel much better about leaving my fur kids for a few days. I will definitely rebook the next time I need to go out of town.”
“noemi was so great with my dog while i was away! she really understood how to take care of a senior dog, was flexible about letting him go out, sent many pictures of him while i was away; and he seemed very calm and content when i went to go pick him up after my trip. i highly recommend her!”

So great to have our guy have a happy and loving place to camp out while we are out of town. Very communicative while we were gone and super easy to drop off / pick up. We appreciate how flexible they were as well when we had to change up our plans a few days out. Looking forward to Loki’s next visit.

Bryan watched our two dogs for a week and we would definitely use him again. This was the first time we've boarded one of our dogs since we rescued him and Bryan was great with him. He can be very reactive to other dogs and people and Bryan accommodated him so he was comfortable. Our other dog is older and enjoyed being able to chill on the couch. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing they were both well taken care of.
