“Lindsey was amazing. Made me feel great about leaving my senior baby in her care. Very attentive, caring and helpful. She lived my little guy like he was her own. First time ever left my boy with her and so happy I found her. Totally appreciate her and will definitely barrow her services again.. Mister Billy will miss her. Thanks Lindsey from the bottom of our hearts♥️”
“Huw & Jolynne made our yorkie feel safe and loved! Very friendly folks who we will request again! PS I’d like to tip but don’t see how, where… new to this app”
“Our dog seemed to enjoy her stay. Great yard for play, and neighborhood for walks. Kaitlin gave great updates during the stay and was flexible with us for drop off and pick up.”
“Griff had such a great time!! We loved getting all the photo updates showing him just enjoying himself. Sharon was also very accomodating when we had to push our flight back a few hours. When we picked him up, all he wanted to do was sleep, so we know he had tons of play time! Thanks again and we look forward having Sharon and Michael watch our pup in the future.”
“Sarah is very thorough with my dogs. She will update you everyday on whats going on and how they did throughout the day. If I have ro go and look for someone to watch my dog,I will go back to her. Thank you sarah.”
“Amanda was very responsive, sent multiple updates on Walter. She went above and beyond for his care. We really needed someone like her. Would not hesitate to use her again!”
“Zoe & I did a meet & greet with Stacey & her dog before booking & Zoe seemed ok with her. She has a yard for the dogs to run around in. Stacey is very personable! Stacey was great about sending updates & pictures. She included Zoe in any outdoor activity she & her dog went on. Zoe is nervous with new people, but Stacey said Zoe warmed up to her & her dog quickly. Stacey let me know that I may not have packed Zoe enough food (mom fail) & asked what brand I fed her vs. just feeding Zoe what her dog ate, which I greatly appreciated (Zoe did have just enough, lol). She gave me thorough rundown when I picked Zoe up. I highly recommend Stacey & Zoe will be definitely staying with her again.”
“Ralph and his wife went above and beyond to ensure my dogs were comfortable and well taken care of. They made their home open to them and were communicative through the entire process. I would highly recommend their services and will use their services again. Very warm people who you can tell enjoy taking care of furry friends.”
“Cima had a great stay at Crystal’s place. Thank you Crystal for watching our Cima! Looks like he had fun there outside in her fenced yard and we appreciated the photo updates. I do recommend Crystal.”
“Ashley is super friendly and responsive. I was sent the cutest pics and Ashley was very communicative about my cat's space in the house. He seemed like he had a blast!”
“Suzanne and her husband took my friend and I’s pups after we scheduled a last minute trip. They were extremely accommodating and communicative! They sent us pictures during the weekend and the pups were well taken care of! Would definitely recommend!”

“Faelyn was awesome! She responded immediately to my short notice request and was available the following day for a meet and greet since we ha had not met at the time and are very particular with anyone we leave our two senior dachshunds with. She took great care of our babies and even sent fun pictures to show how they were doing while we were gone. Would highly recommend her and will definitely take advantage of her services again when and if we go out of town and aren't able to take them with us.”
“We left our dog with Joseph and Lisa for over a week while we were out of town. They sent a few pictures and I felt they took great care of our older dog. Thank you!”

“She’s super reliable, prompt, caring, and I’ve had great experiences. My little furry guy loves Shelley! She takes good care and I never worry when I’m on vacation”
About: Had 2 siamese back in the day and boy were they loud at times but faithful friends and beautiful animals. Rescued a stray in 2010 and come to find out she had hidden 5 kittens, they all ended up staying except one which went to a friend. We named them after the 4 seasons (including Fall and Autumn to give us 5 names). The mom we called Polly. Big fluffy mama cat. There’s only one left now but they all lived good long lives. My ex has the remaining one now.
“Maleah is very consistent, sweet, responsible, great communication and cares for my little elder chihuahua like her own! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a consistent reliable dog walker :)”
“Thank you for the last-minute requests! Our Kitties and I appreciate you! Lauren is always on time and the house is clean and smells good. Our cats just love her!”
“Highly recommend Krystina! She was kind, great to communicate with, and was so thoughtful to bring our packages inside when she checked in on our kitty. Our cat sometimes has trouble warming up to new people but we could tell from the pictures that she was happy to be around Krystina and enjoyed all the attention :)”
“Ashley is super friendly and responsive. I was sent the cutest pics and Ashley was very communicative about my cat's space in the house. He seemed like he had a blast!”
“Rachel was amazing and professional and I felt totally comfortable leaving my pet in her hands! Would definitely recommend and plan to rebook! Loved all the pics and updates I got and it helped me relax knowing she was taking care of him”
About: As a cat owner myself, I understand that every cat has a different personality and comfort level. I’m experienced with shy cats, senior cats, multi-cat households and creating low-stress interactions that allow cats to feel safe in their own space. I pay close attention to litter box habits, appetite, hydration, and behavior changes, and I’ll always keep you updated while you’re away. That veterinary technician experience is a huge advantage on Rover, especially for anxious pets, seniors, and cats.
“She was great! Really good communication, and followed the special diet instructions for my geriatric kitties. I appreciated the daily updates and photos.”
“Jacob was amazing! He took great care of our dog Dex while we were out of town. He took care of everything just as we had discussed and even spent time with our cats during his visits. Our very moody cat who doesn't like many people even liked Jacob. I would without a doubt recommend Jacob to anyone.”
“Izzy was fantastic! Super professional from first contact to each drop-in visit. Communication and updates were always clear, informative, and timely. The kitties were pampered and perfectly cared for—couldn’t ask for better!”
“Sinead was excellent, responsive and provided pictures and updates every visit. The cats had plenty of play time and pets and warmed up to her very fast. Know your cats are in caring and thoughtful hands while you are away.”
About: I’ve cared for cats of all ages and personalities, and I really enjoy getting to know each one. I understand that cats can be shy or independent, so I always move at their pace and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I take care of feeding, litter box cleaning, and spend time with them however they prefer! Whether that’s playing, relaxing nearby, or just keeping them company. I’m gentle, patient, and truly care about making sure every cat feels calm, loved, and well taken care of while their owner is away.
“Brandon was amazing. I don’t leave my fur babies often, but knowing Brandon was watching them… I’d do it more. He kept me updated each day and followed instructions perfectly. He even went over and beyond in communication and taking care of things around the place - like bringing in deliveries, notifying of power outage, etc. I just felt so at ease and trusted my kitties were in good hands. What a relief!”
“This was my first experience with Rover and I worry Alex has spoiled me. She was so responsive and kind from the first messages. She scheduled a meet and greet with the cats and it was great to meet her before handing over the house keys. Our finicky cats warmed up quickly to her which put my mind at ease while I was away. She gave us in depth Rover report cards with lots of pictures and info. I will definitely book Alex again in the future for cat sitting needs. I only hope she’ll have availability in her schedule since she’s so booked and busy!”
“Maggie and Beckett took great care of my cat Cusco while I was away for a 3 week trip. They sent photos of him to keep me updated. And my apartment was in good condition when I returned.”
“Olga was kind, had great communication, and my cats were happy upon my return. All the photos she sent of them were appreciated, too. I hope to use her again sometime!”
“Whitney was amazing!! She took such great care of our fur babies. She went above and beyond, cleaning up accidents and taking care of the house. We greatly appreciated her communication and updates. We did not have to worry while we were gone, so appreciated!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - North Star
“Sharon has had our dog Sheldon for an overnight and doggy day care. Each time Sheldon has come home so happy, we can tell he really loves his stays at their home! Very thankful to have someone we feel comfortable leaving our pup with!”
“Alex is great! I can tell my dog enjoys her time there because she was a little TOO excited on the second day. Alex takes lots of great pics and pays attention to my dog's behavior throughout the day. It's also nice that she provides a walk even though there's plenty of space to run around in her yard. Thank you!”
About: During my childhood I often spent time with my grandmother and her pack of boxers. Now I have a Boston Terrier named Jack. I can handle a pack of up to 8 on my own I do currently have a job so I can be a bit busy sometimes. I live with quite a few people, we all help out with caring for the dogs in our care. I can usually feed the dogs in the morning and night. I can adhere to your dogs rules, whether you want them on furniture or not, whether you want them crated at certain times or not. I have not administered medicine before but I am willing to learn if need be.
About: i had 3 dogs in my life. 2 of the dogs i had. i had since i was born. then i adopted another dog in 2014. wanting to adopted more dogs in the future. i have dogsit before in the past 3 years before i knew about rover. i love and adore dogs. i cant imagine life without one. Dogs are everything to me. Having dogs around get me outside more and walking more. i have trained my 3 dogs. so i know a tiny bit about trainging them. I do live in an apartment in the 3rd floor on the top. If the dog needs it I can carry him/her up and down the stairs no issue at all. Make sure to take your time to read and make sure your 100% sure to want to book with me before you click book. i currently dont have a job. i would make dog sitting a part time job for right now. i have alot of time to care for a dog. i give the pet alot of play time. i give the pet bathroom breaks as much as needed. i walk the pet like an hour or 2. ill feed the pet when he or she needes it. of course ill him or her water. ill give the pet as much exercise as he or she needs. The dog must have a leash for me to watch them i would have the pet come over to my apartment. im around a place where i can take the dog on a long or short walk. the apartment im at is very pet friendly. I say you would have to bring your pet to me at my apartment.
“Very appreciative of Trey's care for my dog! My dog Willow can be quite loud but she had a great day with her canine friends and I'm grateful for the patience she was shown.”
“Faelyn was very careful with introducing my shy, reluctant dog to her two dogs. My dog loved playing in the large fenced in yard with her dogs and was welcomed like one of the family. I hope to use her services again.”
“Danielle was wonderful from the very start! This was our first time using Rover for Smoky and Danielle provided updates and photos throughout the day, which was very reassuring. Smoky clearly had a wonderful day with her and was exhausted when he got home! Already planning to rebook with Danielle.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience caring for dogs who may be reactive or selective around other animals. I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust when your dog requires extra awareness and responsibility. I’m attentive, proactive, and committed to keeping every dog in my care safe by avoiding risky situations and managing walks and interactions thoughtfully. I also grew up in a dog-loving household with four or more dogs at any given time. Our home was the go-to place for family and friends to leave their dogs while traveling or working, and at times we even cared for entire litters of puppies. Because of this, I have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments, and I’m comfortable providing dependable, attentive care tailored to each dog’s individual needs. I currently work from home on freelance engineering design projects, and my own home improvement projects. This means I have a heaps of availability to pay attention to your pet! I am an active individual that recently moved to Anchorage, I love walking with dogs to explore neighborhoods and get exercise. I also have a yard at my home, which is unfenced, and I look forward to romping around with leashed dogs. Regarding situations where dogs stay at my house, I currently have two young cats which any visiting dogs will have to be okay with. Because my house has two levels, I do have the ability to block the stairway and provide my cats with a sanctuary if the cats get tired of dog games.
About: Current medical student with so much motivation to get outside with my dog in between studying. When I was a kid, I always wanted a dog….but we owned everything except a dog due to our lack of a yard. To solve this, I would knock on my neighbors doors to walk and play with their dogs everyday. Now I can finally continue my love into adulthood. My rescue dog, Cowboy, would also love a furry friend. He was the dog the shelter used to socialize their dogs and I’m sure he misses it. I hope I can help you out and use the knowledge I’ve gained from training him and the dogs in my childhood to love and care for your friend! I work from home and have plenty of time to care for your pet. I take my dog on 2 walks a day and spend a lot of time playing, training, and cuddling. I would love to share this time with your pet too. I have a fully enclosed private back yard. Right outside my front door is a short walk to a park and many other walking trails.
“Miss Allison is a great doggie sitter! Our old man Bodie really enjoys being with Allison. He is very well taken care of! He enjoys the walks and gets lots of outside time in the yard. We get a lot of pictures of Bodie’s stay even if it for a few hours. Miss Allison is very flexible with our schedule.”
“Mandy took amazing care of my dog Ophelia. I didn't even have to worry. At the end of the day, Ophi was happy and sleepy. Mandy was very responsive and sent awesome photos of Ophi. I WILL be rebooking with her, and I'm so grateful to have found her!”
“Rogue loved his stays at Crystals house for doggy day care. She was very responsive, had great communication, provided us with updates and photos throughout the day. He loved playing with the other dogs. The second day we dropped him off he was running up to Crystal like he had a new best friend. Highly recommend and will be using her as a sitter in the future.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I’ve spent years caring for pets for friends and family. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I make sure every animal gets plenty of exercise, affection, playtime, and care while their family is away. I love creating a fun, safe, and comfortable environment for every animal I watch. I am great with any communication requests/requirements and I hope to help make this process easy and smooth :) As a General Manager in retail, I have a very flexible schedule and am able to create my own work hours. I can adjust my day as needed and take breaks when necessary, making it easy for me to return home for feeding times, potty breaks, exercise, and general care. My schedule typically ranges between the hours of 9am to 9:30pm, but I have the flexibility to structure those hours around the needs of my pet. I worked in child care for a couple years and I am the oldest four siblings. I also grew up with our family dog named Pookah. While I understand that caring for humans and dogs are different, I have experience caring for others with the upmost respect, care, kindness, and patience. I love taking walks and getting outside. Overall, I strive to create a very warm and fun environment for any pet I care for.
About: Hi! Both my husband and I have grown up in Alaska helping care for small chihuahuas all the way up to wolf-hybrids. We are a fun and loving couple with 2 small doodles of our own, 3 stories of house to play in, a small backyard/potty area, and located right next to a doggy park. We can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I work from home permanently, so I am able to provide care all day long for your fur baby. While I work, typically my two doodles spend their time snacking and watching TV! Once the work day is up, to the park we go! I have two miniature sized doodles to keep your dog company. Additionally, we have many toys available to play with, ample treats, and a small backyard area for potty with an additional park right next door. Both of my doodles are fixed and crate trained. :)
About: My husband and I lost our great Pyrenees a few months ago. :( We have an older shihtzu and would like to watch another dog because our dog is getting older and does not like to hike anymore. She does enjoy her walks tho. We like all types of dogs as long as they are well behaved and get along with cats and other dogs. Our home is 2,800 sq ft and we have a 10,000 sq ft yard. We can only host 2 dogs max at a time so your dog will be well taken care. We prefer only one at a time tho since we also have a cat . I am currently working part time but work from home most of the time. My husband also works from home . We walk our dog 2 -3 times a day. We like to hike and during the summer and in winter we walk the trails that are right next to our home. I have a fenced yard , but can also crate your baby if you prefer. We have everything needed for a big or little dog.
“Tommy was wonderful to our 13 week lab puppy! We were worried about leaving her in a boarding kennel, so we chose Tommy to watch her while we enjoyed a fishing charter! The boat came back later than expected, and Tommy was so understanding ! He met us at the docks to pick up our dog and dropped her off which was so convenient !”
About: Your pup will be treated like family! I have always been an animal lover and have treated all animals with kindness and compassion. I grew up with dogs (and a variety of other pets) and understand the commitment involved in taking good care of your beloved pet. I love watching Cesar Milan and know that rules, boundaries and limitations are also a key part of making a dog feel at ease. That being said, I'm quite a softy so there are generally very few rules as far as the house goes! :) My yard is completely fenced with lots of room to play. They can sleep wherever they choose and will always get plenty of time outdoors ( if they would like). I love walking and will take your pup for as many walks as you would like. My job is very flexible so while dog sitting I will always be at home and with your dog for the entire duration. I know that calmness and kindness are key to reassuring your pup and allowing them to feel happy and comfortable. Boarding can be stressful for animals and parents and I assure you that I will do everything I can to make the experience a joyous and pleasant one. Looking forward to caring for your beloved pup! I have recently lost my 17 yr old chihuahua so looking to have some more dog love in my life right now. Sincerely, Jackie I have a very flexible job as a vending machine owner/operator so I have lots of time to give love and walks to your fur baby! I like to keep pups stimulated with a variety of activities involving exercise, games and love. I enjoy creating fun games for them to do around the house!
“Ashley is phenomenal! She is so kind and flexible to whatever my schedule needs. I can’t recommend her enough. I feel very at ease leaving Cosmo with her and her wonderful family weekly. Thank you Ashley!”

“Elizabeth & HL always do a great job with our senior girl. Communication is great and they send lots of photos. It makes us feel safe leaving our girl for awhile.”
“Jacob did great walking Star and was patient with her. He put her booties on multiple times. He kept in constant contact with me since I was worried about her in the cold.”
About: I have been cat sitting and dog walking for the past two years for coworkers and family friends- and now I’m on Rover too! I’ve got two golden retrievers of my own who I love dearly as well! I am a student at the University of Vermont studying political science and english! During the summers I come home to Anchorage, Alaska. I love all things outdoors- hiking, running, you name it. I have also been working part time at Middle Way Cafe (in Anchorage) for almost 3 years. Because I have grown up with animals, I feel confident in my ability to care for them. I also volunteer at our local animal shelters and am passionate about finding animals good homes! I value communication and will update you on your pets mood, send pictures, etc. I have a lot of experience with anxious dogs, so rest assured your pets are in good hands even if they tend to be nervous when you leave.
“Krystina was great. Ollie clearly loved her and their walk times together. She was attentive and responsive. Would definitely recommend if you need a sitter.”
“Olga did a great job walking my dog, Jenny on short notice. I would use her again without hesitation. She was always right on time, sent lots of photos and also checked to make sure Jenny's water bowl was full.”
About: Our dog passed away and I miss her very much. Recently relocated to Alaska and loving it! Have extra time on my hands to care for your furry bundle. I’ll take care of her/him/them like my own. Sorry I can’t commit to a reoccurring schedule at this time. Currently between jobs (indefinitely!) so I have plenty of time until then to give your loved ones attention. I love being outdoors so plenty of fresh air is not an issue or playing inside and curling up on sofa with your fluff ball is cool too. No problem if your pet prefers their own space, I am open to all types of personalities. Happy to care for pets in your home according to your normal routine. I am currently renting so care in my home is not an option. Thanks for understanding.
About: Since 2006, I’ve been a dedicated dog mom, foster, and senior caretaker. Whether we’re hitting the trails for daily adventures or I’m treating them to a relaxing massage, I’m all-in on canine care. And if the mood is right, I might even serenade them with a song! I’m officially trading the office life for more wagging tails! My schedule is wide open to build genuine, soulful connections with your pups through hikes, massages, and specialized senior care. I’m fully dedicated to my four-legged clients, though I always carve out "paws-on" time to ensure my own pack gets the same love and daily adventures they deserve. If you're looking for someone who treats your dog like family (and maybe even sings them a tune), I’m your person! I truly love caring for pups in the comfort of their own homes. I have a deep respect for the routines and systems you’ve already built—after all, you know your dog best! My goal is to honor those rhythms while gently building a soulful bond of my own. I’ll stick to your schedule to keep things peaceful and familiar, simply adding in my own little "extras"—like a calming massage, a happy song, or a fun trail walk—to make their day a bit brighter. It’s all about keeping them happy, relaxed, and loved right where they belong.

About: Hi there, my name is Erica! I grew up with dogs and currently have my own rescue pup, an eight-year-old German Shepherd mix. Over the years I’ve cared for friends and family's pets, both for pet sitting and walking. I have experience caring for dogs of all different sizes and breeds. I love the outdoors and will ensure your pup has plenty of fun and exercise! My schedule is currently pretty flexible, I am available during the day most of the week and have some weekend availability. I am happy to discuss your needs of when your pet needs care! I am happy to discuss your pets' needs, and their daily routine to make sure they are walked, fed, or let out in a timely manner. I am respectful of your space and will ensure I enter and leave securely. I will also work on building trust with your pet and take proper safety measures while on walks.
About: I have loved most animals for as long as I can remember. I am very compassionate towards animals and feel love and concern when I see a lost or unloved animal. I have pet and house sat for two families who came back to me multiple times. I am always willing to adjust my usual routine to make the owners and their furry family members comfortable. I sat for a friend once who requested that I keep their large, fluffy husky mix in my car whenever I left the house. My priority will always be keeping your furbabies happy, healthy, safe, and comfortable. Last, but certainly not least, I have two dogs of my own who I treat as if they were my own children. I am always thinking of how I would want other humans to treat them when I decide how to work with someone else's pets. During the summer, my pet care will be my highest priority. During the school year (mid August through late December and mid January through late May) I work as a teaching assistant and must prioritize that but I would endeavor to schedule all non-work related activities around the needs of the pet and their family. As I have two dogs of my own neither of which get along well with other dogs, I would not be able to care for another pet in my own home, but I am always willing to stay in another home if pets require constant supervision. I would always follow any instructions regarding pet care given me by the owners. If clear instructions are not given to me, I will ask questions and I will simply do my best to make the pet comfortable and not to change their routine more than absolutely necessary.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was young—dogs/puppies and cats. Very patient with younger animals or with more energy that require more attention and/or more technical care. I have a flexible schedule that allows the ability to stop in throughout the day. Available most weekends, early evenings and flexible throughout the day. With extensive experience with petsitting I’m very skilled in sensing the time needed and patience to build trust and a comfortable space and presence for one’s pets.
“Rachael did great with our sometimes challenging dogs. The Meet and Greet started a little rough as Rachael had some transportation issues but she communicated well. I was very impressed with her determination to make the Meet and Greet happen, which did the next day. She interacted well with both dogs and one dog quickly took to her. I felt comfortable hiring her to walk the dogs and she was great. She kept me updated as I requested and sent pictures and videos. I plan to have her walk our dogs in the future.”
“Katy has been great with my dog, Scruff. He needed a ton of patience starting out and she worked with him to get him used to a dog walker. He actually got a little grumpy with me one day when I stayed home sick and she didn’t come.”
About: Been feeling stressed about your dog cooped up at home? Want your cat to judge a new caretaker in their life? Look no further! I come from an agriculture background, which has allowed me to care for all kinds of pets. Most importantly, I’ve cared for cats & dogs during all their life stages. From puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats — I know what it takes to administer love and care during all developmental stages of life! My heart is full when I get to see either a happy dog tail-wag or a purrfectly content cat make biscuits. I’ll work with your dog to improve their commands and get their daily zoomies out; your cat will enjoy company and stimulating feline friendly games. I’ll also have their bathroom and medical needs taken care of. I make sure to provide a safe environment for everyone. I will care for your pet according to your instructions. If I am at your home, I will abide by your house rules and care for your pet accordingly. I have a flexible schedule, so I can work with your schedule to best serve your family! At this time I am not hosting animals in my home. I will do house visits and walks. I prefer to take your pet on routes they are familiar with to start. After getting to know your pet, I can take them on walks in new environments to encourage new training opportunities. Please disclose if your pet has ever been aggressive or experiences severe anxiety behaviors. I want to provide a safe environment for your fur baby and myself by being aware of any sensitivities or triggers. Your pet will receive top care while being set-up for success when spending time with me! Book with me & I’ll help make your life a little less stressful — your pet has a friend in me! I have a very flexible schedule and can take care of your pets in the afternoon or evenings during Monday-Friday. With ample notice, I can even take care of your pet in the mornings Monday-Friday. On weekends, I can take care of your pet at any time! I’ll make sure to provide a safe environment for everyone. I will care for your pet according to your instructions. If I am at your home, I will abide by your house rules and care for your pet accordingly. Your pet will be safe and cared for in my care.
“Eric did a wonderful job walking our pups! He was on time, we got pics of them out on their walk and had 2 happy pup faces when they got home! Thank you Eric!”
“Tommy went above and beyond today to take care of our dogs when faced with a potentially dangerous situation with our RV. He genuinely cares, and we could not be happier with his service.”

“Griff had such a great time!! We loved getting all the photo updates showing him just enjoying himself. Sharon was also very accomodating when we had to push our flight back a few hours. When we picked him up, all he wanted to do was sleep, so we know he had tons of play time! Thanks again and we look forward having Sharon and Michael watch our pup in the future.”
“Zoe & I did a meet & greet with Stacey & her dog before booking & Zoe seemed ok with her. She has a yard for the dogs to run around in. Stacey is very personable! Stacey was great about sending updates & pictures. She included Zoe in any outdoor activity she & her dog went on. Zoe is nervous with new people, but Stacey said Zoe warmed up to her & her dog quickly. Stacey let me know that I may not have packed Zoe enough food (mom fail) & asked what brand I fed her vs. just feeding Zoe what her dog ate, which I greatly appreciated (Zoe did have just enough, lol). She gave me thorough rundown when I picked Zoe up. I highly recommend Stacey & Zoe will be definitely staying with her again.”
“Cima had a great stay at Crystal’s place. Thank you Crystal for watching our Cima! Looks like he had fun there outside in her fenced yard and we appreciated the photo updates. I do recommend Crystal.”
“Ashley is super friendly and responsive. I was sent the cutest pics and Ashley was very communicative about my cat's space in the house. He seemed like he had a blast!”
“Suzanne and her husband took my friend and I’s pups after we scheduled a last minute trip. They were extremely accommodating and communicative! They sent us pictures during the weekend and the pups were well taken care of! Would definitely recommend!”
“Loren was great! She took wonderful care of our dog. There was playtime in the back yard and walks each day. We received cute pictures and updates just about every day. She promptly responds to inquiries. I will definately be using her again. Thank you Loren!”
“Faelyn was awesome! She responded immediately to my short notice request and was available the following day for a meet and greet since we ha had not met at the time and are very particular with anyone we leave our two senior dachshunds with. She took great care of our babies and even sent fun pictures to show how they were doing while we were gone. Would highly recommend her and will definitely take advantage of her services again when and if we go out of town and aren't able to take them with us.”
“We left our dog with Joseph and Lisa for over a week while we were out of town. They sent a few pictures and I felt they took great care of our older dog. Thank you!”
“Kerry is so thoughtful, communicative, and caring! I appreciate her clear affection for doggos, and her patience and understanding about Petra’s quirks. Thank you so much!”
“Kaitlin and her family took such good care of my girl! I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch her for a week. Communication was excellent and I know she was well taken care of!”
“Awesome boarding experience! Pups came home happy and were well taken care of during their stay. Highly recommend and will be utilizing Ashley again.”
“My two huskies were very happy spending a week with Kiara and her family. They were spoiled with tons of attention and all the couch cuddles they could hope for. Kiara was very communicative, understanding of each dog's preferences, and willing to accommodate needs for my senior dog as well. I would be happy to leave my dogs there again!”
About: Would love to love on others pets as we unexpectedly lost our dog of 12 years and aren’t ready for another of our own yet I’m currently a stay home mom to a 3 year old daughter, we walk almost everyday and have more than enough time and love to give! We have a shared unfenced yard but walk around the neighborhood daily. We have an open space for playing around and lots of time to give!
“Great experience. Our dog was very well cared for. She sent pictures and updates regularly. We extended our booking multiple times because we stayed out of town longer than expected so very appreciative we were able to do that.”
“Ryan did a great job with my high energy lab! He was always kept busy and was very tired when he came home. I honestly don’t think my dog wanted to leave. Highly recommend!”
