Our puppy absolutely loves Kelly. He is always so happy to see her and hang out with her. She is excellent about paying attention to detail and has such a warm and loving demeanor with our dog. Our family feels very much at ease when our pup is in her care! She is also great about sending many photos, videos and updates on their walks, feeding, naps and adventures!

Shannon was such an amazing help. Unfortunately our pup was not able to attend our wedding rehearsal and Shannon saved the day. She was flexible with pick up times, showed up exactly when we needed her, and was very professional. Shannon’s house is just as described and is perfect to house doggies. She sent many pictures and updates so you will never miss a moment.

Sherry is an AMAZING dog sitter!! I trusted her to care for my sweet but nervous 50lb girl, Ellie, and I could not have asked for a better sitter. Sherry was so thorough, she sent plenty of updates throughout and put me at ease! She was super responsive to my dog’s needs, and I could see Ellie just melting and falling in love with her through the updates. She’s got a lovely, clean and safe apartment and she is obviously someone who knows dogs well. I would trust Sherry with dog sitting ANY day! Highly recommend.

About: We've designed our experience a little differently than most. Rather than filling our home with multiple unfamiliar dogs, we intentionally host just one dog (or one family's dogs) at a time. We made this decision because we know separation can be hard. Our goal is to give every guest a calm, relaxing vacation while giving their humans peace of mind knowing their pup has our full attention. My husband Cameron and I have both been around animals our entire lives and have experience with puppies, seniors, bulldogs, and dogs with special needs. We also have two young kids (ages 3 & 6) who absolutely love animals and know how to be gentle and respectful around them. Whether your dog loves hiking, backyard sniff sessions, playing fetch, or simply curling up on the couch for a nap, we'll happily match their pace. We'll also send plenty of photos and updates throughout their stay because we know being away from your dog isn't always easy. We'd love to meet you both! We keep our schedule intentionally flexible so we can build our day around your dog's routine instead of expecting them to adjust to ours. Your dog's safety is our number one priority. Our backyard is fully fenced and we supervise outdoor time closely. Because we have young children, we've already built our home around safety. Medications, chemicals, and anything potentially dangerous stay locked away, and as a gardener I'm always mindful of which plants are safe and which aren't. If your dog joins us for a walk or an adventure, they'll always be on leash and right by our side. They won't be left unattended anytime, ever. We don't take guest dogs to dog parks or introduce them to unfamiliar dogs. We prefer controlled environments where we know exactly what's going on. We know leaving your dog with someone new can feel stressful. We take that responsibility seriously and will care for them like one of our own.

Very kind and caring daughter and mother! They really took the time to let my nervous dog adjust during the meet and greet, listened carefully and asked questions. I also appreciate that they care about safety. My dog is quite nervous, but by the second day of boarding she was getting comfortable and showing more of her bouncy personality. They were communicative around feeding instructions and coordinating the meet and greet, drop off, and pick up. I would recommend Thais and Marlene! Thank you for your help taking care of Amber!

Our dog stayed with Lee twice and had the best time ever. Lee is so trustworthy, kind, and warm. Our dog is nervous and showed no signs of fear around Lee or the other pups in her care, she immediately ran around like she was at home. Lee provided updates and photos and helped give us a peace of mind while we were on vacation and away from our girl. LEE IS THE BEST!

Kennia took great care of our Hachi and Petunia while we were on a work trip. Hachi recently healed from eye surgery and she followed his eye medication schedule without issue (in fact she had prior experience with the same eye ointment he uses). We loved all the photos and videos she sent us and appreciated the updates throughout the day. We could tell our pups were in good hands and were enjoying their time with her. She even gave them a little doggy bag with some treats and toys, which we thought was super kind and thoughtful! Will book again and highly recommend!

My son’s dog Dobby stayed with Anthony and Nikita for about 10 days, and our experience couldn’t have been any better. Both are genuinely great, sweet people who love dogs. We did a meet and greet before dropping Dobby off, which I think was very helpful and put Dobby at ease when we finally dropped him off. They were very kind and attentive to Dobby’s needs. I was concerned about Dobby staying in someone else’s house with another dog because he is a rescue and he’s kind of skittish, but Dobby and Mia got along really well. Nikita sent me daily updates and photos and that was very reassuring. I also really appreciated the fact that they took Dobby out on hikes and walks with them. That was a real plus, since Dobby is an active dog. I would highly recommend Anthony and Nikita to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter. I’ll be using them again in the future when I get a new dog!!! :)

Wow, I’m glad we found Mike! First, he was extremely responsive. When we messaged looking for boarding for our dog in about a weeks time, he replied quickly and set up a meet and greet for the next day. He replied quickly to all our messages bout logistics. Second, he has a great combination of attentiveness and no-stress. He asked all the usual questions about our dog, and wanted to get to know her needs. When meeting Bowie for the first time, he read he body language as other dogs went by and even guessed “she isn’t been to this park before, right?” Which was true. Our dog isn’t used to socializing much with other dogs, so we were a little nervous about leaving her with another dog in the house. But Mike was very relaxed and confident about it, without being minimizing. We could tell that he reads dogs carefully and knows his dog well which made us feel comfortable that he could manage the two dogs interactions well. Finally, Bowie clearly had fun! We got some great pictures of her on hikes, lounging in the yard, and napping on the couch - her kind of vacation! My only hesitation in leaving a positive review is that other people might snag the future dates we want for boarding 😁

Our 9.5 lbs mix breed dog was lovingly cared for by Kit. She enjoyed Kit’s dog and the other dogs Kit cared for she was there. We got regular updates from Kit including two phone calls. This was really helpful for us because it was our first time leaving our dog while traveling. One of the things I appreciate most about Kit is that she does a meet and greet at her home. That made a huge difference in helping us all feel prepared. Kit also gave us some really useful tips. I’m so glad we found Kit! Gigi now has Ms. Kit’s to go to in the future for getaways :)

Kelly is wonderful! We have a 10 month old 15 pound cavapoo named Daisy who we had to leave for two weeks. We were very nervous about it! Kelly was amazing--so responsible, caring, and reassuring. She clearly loves the work of caring for pets and is very good at it. She sent photos and videos twice a day and responded promptly to all of our communications. Daisy is nervous around other dogs but Kelly made her feel comfortable. Daisy even made some friends! When we came to pick Daisy up, she didn't want Kelly to leave her and whined as Kelly walked away. Kelly's now a part of Daisy's pack! We will definitely have Daisy stay with Kelly again when we have to travel.

We could not have asked for a more loving or attentive caregiver for our senior dog. Our dog is old, has many needs including a lot of patience and several medications, we were nervous to leave him on our trip but Shannon was warm, welcoming and open to all of Nacho’s needs from the moment we met her. He even unexpectedly had some health issues before we left which required him to need additional medication and a watchful eye. Shannon still didn’t think twice about caring for him. She sent daily updates about his activities and many cute pictures! We cannot thank Shannon and Rocky enough for the love and care they provided for our dog. We highly recommend them!

This was my first time using Rover and Asha made it such an easy and pleasant experience. She allowed us to come by to meet her dog and see the space before committing to ensure our dogs would get along (my dog isn’t around other dogs very often). She was very nice as well as responsive, and I didn’t feel overly anxious leaving our dog with her for 2 weeks. I’d occasionally message for updates and she’d quickly get back to me with a photo and letting me know how things were going or asking any questions she had ti make the adjustment easier for everyone. At pick up my dog seemed happy and in good health and her transition back home was easy (unlike when we boarded her in the past). If Asha will have Birdie back, I’d definitely book with her again!

Tamara is a fantastic dog sitter!! She watched my 10 month old golden retriever pup for a week, and my dog had an awesome time playing with Tamara's dog, Sidney; running around in the yard; and getting lots of attention and snuggles. Tamara was very communicative and sent plenty of photos and updates. As an experienced sitter and dog owner herself, she also had useful advice to offer, which is great because this is our first dog. Tamara has a lot of gear so we really just had to bring our pup's food and leash over, which was a nice bonus. Our pup came home happy and well cared for, and can't wait to go back!

I can't recommend Jack and Carina + their sweet dog, Prince, enough! They watched my dog for 10 days - this being the longest he's been away from me. They sent pictures and updates throughout and were more than accommodating when I had an expected change and needed to adjust the pick up time. My dog came back so extremely happy after staying with them, per usual. So grateful!
