1. Riitta K.
“Our dog Sassquatch had a great time at Ritta’s! We got lots of pics of her playing and daily updates on her activities. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter!”
2. Krystina S.
“This was Naudias second stay and she was in great hands! I received lots of pictures and updates and am very happy with her stay. I will definitely book again!”
3. Jenny M.
“Jenny took care of our neighbor's dog Willow for us when we were taking care of it and had to leave unexpectedly for 3 days, the boarding experience went very well and she was very thoughtful and asked good questions prior to the boarding. Willow had a great time playing with her dog and when I came to pick her up Jenny had Willow's crate all packed up with her things and ready for me, which I really appreciated. Willow is a dog who can be anxious at times but it was obvious that she felt very comfortable with Jenny. We are pretty picky about who watches our pooches and are glad to have found someone in Gold Bar who we feel good about recommending or using for our own dogs.”

12. Natalie O.
“Natalie is a dependable and caring person, who I would trust my dog with anytime. As a Rover sitter myself, Natalie is my go-to person to recommend to my clients if I'm unavailable to them. It's nice to have a person I can trust so much to care for my clients/friends' pets in my absence. She has extensive experience with pet sitting and with many breeds of dogs. With your pets in Natalie's care, you'll be able to rest assured knowing that they are getting plenty of love, care and exercise. Highly recommend!”
13. Taylor B.
“Taylor is a friendly and trustworthy dog sitter. His calm demeanor made our slightly nervous dog feel comfortable and safe. He has a large yard, and sent us video of her playing throughout her stay. He responds to texts and emails right away. I would highly recommend Taylor for your animal sitting needs. Our dog came home excersized, relaxed and happy.”
14. Susan & David B.
“Second time using Susan and David, and could not be happier! We left our two boys for over a week, but judging from the pics we got they were clearly happy and relaxed. Will definitely use Susan and David again and highly recommend them!”
15. Karen K.
“We recently boarded our toy poodle Ella with Karen, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Karen was incredibly professional and clearly very experienced with dogs. From the moment we dropped Ella off, we felt confident that she was in great hands. Karen provided regular updates and made sure Ella was comfortable, happy, and well cared for throughout her stay. Ella came home relaxed and content, which tells us she truly enjoyed her time there. We were so pleased that we’ve already booked another, much longer stay with Karen. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
16. Sarah & Benjamin B.
“Sarah and Benjamin were great hosts for Roscoe. He seemed really happy when he was with them and they sent great pictures and gave him lots of love and snuggles. I would definitely use them again. Than you!”
17. Michelle T.
“Michelle was so amazing!! I was scared to leave my dog with somebody for the first time, but she made me feel comfortable so quickly. She sent daily pictures and updates. She also has a whole family of dog lovers in the house to ensure your dog gets enough attention and care. My dog looked SOOOOO happy in all of the pictures I got”
18. Nickey R.
“Amazing as always! Nickey is so so loving towards Ellie and I can just tell that Ellie is having a great relaxing time! Don’t hesitate - book Nickey!”
19. Suk W.
“Hazel had a wonderful 2- week stay with Suk and family and their playful doggie T-Bone, while we were on an overseas trip. We were nervous about being away from Hazel for so long, but Suk sent us regular updates, photos, and videos that were very reassuring and delightful. Hazel got walks, lots of cuddles from Suk and family, and playtime with T-Bone. Hazel is timid around other dogs , but she’s bonded with T-Bone so much so that when I picked her up, she welcomed me and then ran off to play with T-Bone. We look forward to sending Hazel to Suk again.”
20. Franklin J.
“This was our second time using Franklin. Both him and his family took great care of our dog (Pepsi). We plan on booking him again in the near future.”
