“10/10 recommend! Rachell is a great communicator. Our dog is always excited to go spend time with her and all their other dogs that are there.When we pick up our pup she is always happy and refreshed. We know our pup is in good hands when left with Rachell!”

“Eric and Morgan were very accommodating in taking our request last minute and having flexible pickup/drop off times. They also sent a daily check in and pictures as well, which was very much appreciated!”


“Since this was the first time leaving our 3 year old Shihpoo I was very nervous, but Dave and his wife Cindy were great! Tanner seemed right at home with them and they really took wonderful care of him. They kept us updated with photos and texts, which made me less worried on our trip. We now have a safe and fun environment for Tanner whenever we need to leave him❤.”

“Haley made sure I had absolutely NO worries while boarding my little man for a week with her!! Piece of mind is so important, and Haley certainly provides that and lots of love! 💕”

“Very good with my nervous boy. She played with him and gave him the attention he needed! She was very familiar with his high energy breed which made me more comfortable about it!”

“Very accommodating gentleman! Nice fenced back yard, easy to get to his home! I felt great leaving my dog with Davey! He even sent pictures of her playing, which calmed me down as this was her first sitter! THANK YOU SO MUCH!”

“Stephanie is fantastic! She went above and beyond to make the entire dog sitting process easy, reassuring and comfortable for us - from coming to our home for a meet and greet to being extra communicative and flexible to even dropping our dogs off at our house after our long day of travel! She is so sweet and clearly loves dogs. Our pups were upset when she left, so we know they had a great experience too. She is a responsible, trustworthy dog sitter and person. And lastly, her home is super clean, very unlike some of the in-home kennel situations we’ve experienced with Rover sitters. We will be using her again. We can’t recommend her enough!”

“Clyde was very well cared for! He had many playmates and samantha and zach were very accommodating. They took clyde last minute for us and they were super kind to him and us. We felt great knowing our pup was in such good hands!”

“Misty is great with our 2 Golden Retrievers. Her large fenced yard gives them plenty of room to play and enjoy the outdoors. They are very happy to go and happy when I pick them up if its for a day or several days.”

“We couldn’t have been happier with Ryn as our dog sitter over the holidays! Finding someone who truly understands and can handle dogs with behavioral challenges is no easy task, but Ryn completely exceeded our expectations. Two of our dogs have big feelings—one is fear reactive, and the other struggles with anxiety—and Ryn managed their unique needs with so much patience, care, and skill. She even made real progress with one of our more challenging pups, which was such a huge milestone for us. Ryn’s extensive experience as a dog trainer really stands out. She took the time to learn about each of our dogs before their stay, asking thoughtful questions and ensuring she was prepared to meet their needs. Her setup is perfect, with a big, secure fenced yard and an environment designed for both enrichment and safety. It’s clear she puts so much thought into creating a space where dogs can thrive. One of the things we appreciated most was how Ryn included her own dogs in a way that felt safe and comfortable for everyone. She has an incredible ability to read dog behavior and ensure all interactions are positive. Whether it was playtime, downtime, or moments when our dogs just needed a little extra reassurance, Ryn handled everything with ease and professionalism. Throughout the stay, Ryn kept us updated with regular, thoughtful communication. Her updates included how our dogs were feeling emotionally, what they were eating, and even little stories about their day. The photos she sent showed just how happy and relaxed our pups were, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. What truly sets Ryn apart is her genuine love for dogs and her ability to connect with them on an individual level. She doesn’t just care for dogs—she truly understands them. Her ability to build trust and confidence, even with dogs who struggle with fear and anxiety, is remarkable. We came home to happy, groomed, relaxed pups who were clearly given so much attention, playtime, and love. It’s everything you could hope for as a dog parent. Ryn went above and beyond to make sure they felt safe and happy the entire time. If you’re looking for someone who is not only amazing with dogs but also truly gets them, Ryn is the absolute best. Whether your dog has special behavioral needs or just deserves the best care possible, we can’t recommend her enough for training or sitting. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Jennifer is a sweet heart!! I was nervous leaving my cat behind while I was on a trip due to her circumstances. Jennifer updated me multiple times throughout the day and sent pictures each time. She treated my cat with absolute kindness as if it was her own. She is so sweet to speak to in general and you can definitely feel her warm energy. She is so welcoming.”

“Phoenix had a great time! She promptly fell asleep as soon as she got into the car so we know she played hard! Thanks to Beth and family for taking good care of her while we were gone.”

“Thank you so much for taking such good care of my Charlie. The frequent updates, photos, and videos helped so much to put my mind at ease. I’m so grateful for all you did to go above and beyond over a holiday weekend.”
