“Andrea and Paul were just great. They took really good care of Monty and sent lots of photos. They made him very welcome in their home and took time to play with him. It felt very reassuring that they were watching him!”
“Brianne B. Was absolutely AMAZING!!! We have never been even one day away from our Penelope and we were so nervous to leave her for an entire week. A friend of mine had used this site for her dog so I researched many different sitters. I am so glad we chose z Brianne. Penelope is so nervous over everything and she sent us daily photos and updates on how she was doing. Penelope was so happy the entire time. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Janis and family did a fantastic job in making my dog, Cubbie, feel welcomed and well taken care of. I received daily photos in which I could tell that she was happy and enjoying her stay, unlike the times I took her to an Animal Hospital for boarding. I highly recommend Janis if you are looking for a great stay for your fur baby!!!”
“Lilli was great with our dogs-even our 4month old puppy! She kept them active and interacted with them so much. She was great about sending photos videos and reports of how they were doing. I couldn’t have asked for anything more-she exceeded my expectations!”
“Patricia was wonderful to Fiona and Seamus. Her hospitality and warmth made them right at home. They enjoyed the sunshine in her spacious backyard and made them feel right at home. The daily photos helped us keep up with the lovely times they had. She really got to know their funny antics that we so enjoy about them! We highly recommend her and will use her again in the future.”
“I'm kinda particular who I leave my guy with. Shawne left me feeling assured he would be well cared for and it's obvious he was. Shawne kept me posted and sent me happy pics. Thanks so much. Will definitely keep Shawne for future needs.”
About: I've been taking care of dogs for most of my life. At one point in time I owned 5. I love dogs of all age and sizes. I work full time during the week but I am fortunate enough to able to come home for lunch and spend my time with my dog. I get out of work around 3 so my dog isnt left alone for more than 3 or 4 hours at a time ever. We spend our evenings at home playing in the fenced in yard, walking through the neighborhood or relaxing on the couch with a movie. I have a Yorkie and he loves to curl up on the couch with me. We have a fenced in yard and lots of space in the house for them to be comfortable.
“Jeremiah did a wonderful job watching over our temperamental Aussie. He was well exercised, ate his food normally and seemed very comfortable with Jeremiah. We will be booking with Jeremiah again.”
“Jordan was amazing with my Charlie, she sent updates and pictures. Charlie looked like he was having a great time, thank you so much for being a great sitter, we would definitely use her services again.”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She was so kind and understanding. I ended up having an emergency and she was so easy to work with. Also, Freddy absolutely loved her! We got so many pictures and updates, definitely eased my mind while we were away. 100% recommend!!!!!!!!!!”
“Chris did great with our six-month-old Goldendoodle. He gave us daily updates and was very attentive and understanding. Would definitely have him watch her again!”
“We just wanted to express our gratitude to Summer and her family for taking such great care of Cash while we were out of town. She had a fabulous time with you and your family! Thank you for welcoming her into your home and making her feel so comfortable. We really appreciated the updates and the wonderful pictures you sent. It was lovely to see how well she was doing! Summer, you’re awesome, and we will definitely be booking with you again in the future. Thanks again for a fantastic experience!”
“Jennifer was great--if Sasha could talk I'm sure she say that she had a great time. It was our first time with Rover and Jennifer and we will definitely book with her again. She was very accommodating--letting us visit a few days before we boarded Sasha. She has a dog-friendly house and a good yard (not fenced but she uses a stake) and lives right next to a park in a very dog-walkable neighborhood.”
About: I've grown up living with dogs and have been the primary trainer for my family's dogs. I do pretty well working with new pets and can handle full size dogs. I'm an engineer who gets home from work around 4 or 5PM. My weekends are empty 3/4 weekends a month. I can do overnights on Sunday and during the work week if your dog is used to being alone 9-5. I have a small yard, and live next to the beach. I typically walk my dog to the beach 2-3 times a day on the weekend and she swims often. I usually use a harness to walk dogs, never leave them unattended outside since I have no fence. Make sure they have food twice a day and water always full.
“Amber was great with my red heeler Mac she sent lots of pics everytime u asked about him she allowed me and my mom to be able to take our trip to Missouri without worrying about macs safety I will definitely use her again thanks to her and Ryan so much”
“Roxanna has been a great sitter as we recently moved to the area! My pup settled in so quickly when staying with her for the first time, and even more quickly the second stay. I received a daily photo or video and Roxanna was very responsive!”
