“Justin is completely awesome. I had an urgent trip to go on and he took me in right away and was very flexible with me on bringing my pups in. He watched them for 5 days and he made sure my pups were being good. He sent daily updates on and pictures. I would highly recommend Justin!”
“Kassandra did an amazing job taking care of my anxious dog. We got updates and appreciate the activity and attention given. My pup came back home happy, calm and relaxed. Wow!!!”
About: My name is Cameron, and I’m a dog trainer offering personalized training and boarding services designed around the unique needs of each dog. I take a thoughtful, intentional approach prioritizing structure, environment, and overall well-being so every dog in my care feels safe, understood, and set up to succeed. No two dogs are the same, which is why I tailor each stay to match their temperament, behavior, and needs whether that means building reliable obedience, working through behavioral challenges, or enjoying a balanced and structured day-to-day life. When dogs stay with me for boarding, they’re not just being watched they’re cared for with purpose. Each dog follows a structured daily routine that includes exercise, enrichment, rest, and play, all adjusted to their individual energy level and personality. I’m very intentional about creating a calm, controlled environment, whether a dog thrives in a social setting or needs more one-on-one time and space. A big part of my program includes getting dogs out into the real world in a safe and structured way. We incorporate long walks, hikes, and adventure-style pack walks to build confidence, improve behavior in new environments, and allow dogs to decompress in a healthy, fulfilling way. These outings aren’t just for exercise they’re intentional training opportunities that help dogs learn how to exist calmly and neutrally around new sights, smells, and distractions. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of dogs, from police K9s and sport dogs to beloved family pets and rescue cases. That experience allows me to confidently adapt to different drives, temperaments, and challenges. At the end of the day, my focus is on building clear communication, confidence, and trust so both you and your dog feel supported every step of the way. For the past four years, I have immersed myself in working with dogs across various fields, from pet dogs to police K9s and protection dogs. This diverse experience has enriched my skills and deepened my passion for canine care and training. My part-time job provides me with the flexibility to dedicate ample time to these incredible animals, allowing me to focus on their training, well-being, and development. This journey has been immensely rewarding, fostering a profound connection with each dog and enhancing my expertise in handling and training them. Ensuring the safety and well-being of dogs in my care is my top priority. I implement strict safety protocols, including secure environments, proper nutrition, regular health check-ups, and personalized training programs tailored to each dog's needs. I vigilantly monitor their behavior to prevent any potential issues and provide a nurturing atmosphere that promotes their physical and emotional health. By fostering a routine that balances exercise, socialization, and rest, I create a harmonious environment where each dog can thrive safely and happily.
About: ’m a dog lover at heart, with 10+ years of professional dog sitting and walking experience. We enjoy daily walks in beautiful Alaska nature, and my doggie guests truly get to have a “HAY DAY” here! 💕🗻☀️🐶😄 Our home is cozy, calm, and full of love — with comfy couches, plenty of doggie toys, and lots of gentle attention. My sweet doggie Buddy and the friendly Chihuahua in our household both enjoy the company of well-mannered, friendly furry guests who like to play, relax, or simply be part of the family during the day. 🐾 Our Guest Vibe (Important Please Read) Because we also have a Chihuahua here, and to keep everyone safe, relaxed, and happy, we now welcome: • Small to medium-sized dogs, or • Friendly, gentle “neighborhood dog” types (such as Labs, Retrievers, Poodles, mixes with similar temperaments) For everyone’s comfort, we are not a fit for dogs with: • Chasing instincts toward small dogs • Territorial, food-guarding, or toy-protective behaviors • High prey drive or rough play styles This helps us maintain a peaceful, loving, all-friends-together environment where every dog feels safe and cared for. 🏡 A True VIP Experience This is a kennel-free, home-away-from-home vacation or day-stay experience — not a high-volume boarding setup. I intentionally keep a small, compatible group so each dog receives calm attention, affection, and a family atmosphere. If your dog loves: ✨ Cozy home vibes ✨ Daily nature walks ✨ Friendly companions ✨ Gentle care and personal attention …then this may be their perfect little vacation retreat 💖🐾 I’m always happy to chat beforehand to make sure it’s a wonderful match for everyone — dogs and humans alike! I work from home, and take just a few doggies at a time (doggie sitting is my happy side gig) - so they get to have a home away from home experience that’s not overwhelming, but cozy, full of personal attention, love, and fun. Your fur baby will have exclusive personal company and care here: it’s a safe, good energy, and very dog friendly environment. See the main description 🐶💕
“Tanner was fantastic with our dog, Kubo. We were gone for almost two weeks, and Tanner sent regular updates and photos. He has a very large yard for dogs to play in, and he took Kubo on a fun hike. I definitely would have Tanner watch our Kubo again.”
“Nari was happy and healthy with Paula. She kept me informed as he was adjusting to being with her. Nari comes to work with me every day and hangs out in the car when I'm at work. Paula did the same with him to keep it as normal for him as possible. Will definitely re-book with her in the future.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. They were there from the very beginning, and caring for them has always felt like a natural part of who I am. I’ve raised dogs from playful puppies, shared life with them through every stage, and had the honor of caring for them as they became seniors and needed extra love, patience, and support. My approach to pet care is rooted in patience, kindness, and positive reinforcement. I believe dogs learn best when they feel safe, understood, and encouraged. Every interaction is built around trust, respect, and helping your pet feel confident, comfortable, and loved. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else because they aren’t just pets—they’re family. I have experience giving medications, caring for senior dogs, and paying attention to the little things that help each dog feel secure and well cared for. My goal is to provide the same compassion and care I would want someone to give my own pets. Because my husband and I work from home, I’m lucky to be able to spend most of my day with the animals in my care. I love that pet sitting allows me to provide more than just a quick check-in—I can offer companionship, attention, and a calm, loving environment throughout the day. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including walks, meals, medications, playtime, and plenty of rest and affection. I know pets feel happiest when they feel secure and understood, and I’ll do my best to make your time away easier by giving them the same care and attention I’d want for my own. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. We have two happy, healthy, well-loved dogs of our own who are friendly and enjoy having new friends around. We have a large, securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air, playtime, and supervised outdoor time. We take our dogs on walks almost every day, and your dog is welcome to join in on our routine if they enjoy walks too. I believe dogs thrive when they feel included, and your dog will quickly become part of our pack while they’re here. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to introduce pets slowly, respect their personalities, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their new environment. My goal is for your dog to feel like they’re staying with family—not just being boarded.
“Denice was so kind and takes her role as a pet sitter very seriously. She knows animals and once I saw her set up I knew animals are her passion in life. Not a single thing will be missed with Denice watching your furbaby!”
“They are some of the best dog sitters we’ve ever had! They are always very responsive and send lots of updates and pictures. Our flights have been delayed on 2 separate trips and they have been so understanding and helpful with keeping him a little longer. We always know our boy is safe and happy with them!”
“Jessica’s home was warm and inviting and extremely dog friendly. My 8 month old doesn’t have manners yet and is a bit rambunctious but Jessica was so patient with her. Sent me pics and videos of her days. If my dog Tilly could speak the day after I picked her up I just know she would have said I want to go over to my friends house! Thank you so much for loving her during my absence. You are my person I will always call you first! Thank you again!”
“Jennifer was awesome with my spoiled boy. She didn’t hesitate to include him as part of her family and spent a great deal of time making sure everything was just as I asked. I’m probably a helicopter dog mom, but Jennifer was more than willing to comply with all my quirky boy’s lifestyle. Would def recommend if you have a kiddo requiring extra attention or if you need piece of mind while your baby is in her care.”
“Kimberly took amazing care of my 6 month old German Shepherd, Nova, during her 11-day stay. She kept me updated throughout the entire stay with frequent photos and videos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Nova received plenty of attention, exercise, and mental stimulation. As anyone with a young German Shepherd knows, keeping them active is important, and I could tell Nova was happy, well cared for, and had all the stimulation she needed. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with Kimberly again in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, experienced, caring, and communicative dog sitter.”
“Absolutely best dog sitters!! Got pictures or videos every day or every other day (which I perfered. Both brother and sister were supper accommodating and flexible about pick up and drop off. Asked about extra special food while on trip for the dogs to eat. Super friendly and I was super lucky to have found them for my first try on Rover. 6 stars.”
“Jamie is awesome with dogs. She is gentle and directive and my pup responded well to her. She also went out of her way to interact with my dog the way we do at home. She spoke to her in Spanish and kept up with practicing her usual tricks. And I was really impressed to hear that she ventured out to the river with her three dogs plus my little one who swam and played fetch. That is more than I could ask of any sitter. Thanks a million for your kindness towards animals including my very own!”

“Astrid is very loving and has a very calm and patient demeanor. She has been great to work with getting my anxious pup socialized and comfortable. Her dogs are calm and welcoming. Her home is very dog friendly, everyone has a comfy spot. She has really put in the effort to make sure my lil pup is feeling loved.”
“Another wonderful week with Justin! Justin and his family take exceptional care of Felix. Cheerful communication, frequent pupdates, and what’s most reassuring: they are highly attentive to Felix himself, always noticing if he has a new lump or a weight change (realities of the geriatric doggie phase). So grateful for the care and attention Justin and his family give Felix. They tell me he’s “like part of the family”; could a dog-mom working long hours dream of anything more for her beloved old pup?! Thank you thank you to Justin and his family for the excellent care they give Felix. 10/5 stars! :)”

About: I know pets are part of the family and I want pet owners to be able to travel with peace of mind knowing their dog is well cared for. I’m able to provide an enriching and comfortable stay for your dog while you’re away. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule so I am able to provide adequate exercise, walks, enrichment and scheduled bathroom breaks. I provide a calm, safe, and structured environment for dogs to feel comfortable while you’re away. I work from home, so your dog won’t be left alone for long periods. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and enjoy getting dogs out for walks and fresh air. I try to keep routines consistent—feeding, potty breaks, and activity—so your dog feels as close to home as possible.
About: With a strong background in working and high-drive dogs—especially German Shepherds—I bring a structured, intentional approach to pet care. I’ve raised and trained multiple dogs through advanced obedience and sport foundations, with a focus on clear communication, calm handling, and routine. My experience has shown me that not every dog thrives in chaotic daycare environments, which is why I prioritize individualized care, low-stress transitions, and purposeful engagement. Whether your dog needs stability, mental stimulation, or simply a quiet, well-managed space, they’ll be handled with the same level of consistency and respect I expect for my own dogs. Pet care is built into my daily routine from start to finish—it’s not something I squeeze in, it’s something I structure my day around. Mornings begin early with kennel checks, potty rotations, feeding, and a calm reset for the day. Throughout the day, I run scheduled rotations for exercise, engagement, and rest, ensuring each dog gets individual attention without overstimulation. Evenings include additional potty breaks, wind-down time, and a final check to make sure every dog is settled, clean, and comfortable. This consistent, predictable routine allows me to provide attentive, low-stress care while maintaining a calm and controlled environment for every dog. In my home, pets are cared for in a calm, structured environment designed to reduce stress and provide clarity. Each dog is housed individually and follows a consistent daily routine that includes scheduled potty breaks, feeding, rest, and purposeful engagement. I focus on calm handling, clean transitions, and one-on-one attention rather than group chaos or open play. Dogs are monitored closely throughout the day, and their environment is kept clean, quiet, and predictable. This approach is especially well-suited for working, high-drive, or more sensitive dogs who benefit from structure, routine, and thoughtful care.

About: What sets me apart is my depth of hands-on experience caring for dogs with many different personalities, temperaments, and needs. I’m very comfortable managing multiple dogs, reading body language, and creating a calm environment where dogs feel safe and settle in quickly. I have experience with puppies, including potty routines, crate training foundations, and helping young dogs adjust to new environments. I’m also attentive to senior dogs and those who may need a slower pace, medication, or extra comfort and supervision. Because dogs are such a big part of my daily life, I naturally pay attention to safety, structure, and individual needs. I understand how to introduce dogs carefully to new spaces, prevent overstimulation, and maintain routines so they feel secure while their owners are away. I only accept one household at a time, which allows me to provide personalized care, close supervision, and plenty of attention. My goal is always for dogs to feel relaxed, comfortable, and genuinely cared for-not just watched. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I’m home frequently throughout the day and dogs are already a central part of my life. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I plan my schedule around the dogs in my care so they aren’t left alone for long periods. I’m able to maintain feeding routines, exercise, and quiet rest time so they feel comfortable and settled. Because I only accept one household at a time, I can focus on their individual needs and make sure they receive personalized care throughout the day. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I create a calm, structured environment where dogs can settle in and feel secure. I only accept one household of dogs at a time, which allows me to provide close supervision and individualized attention without overcrowding or unnecessary stress. I introduce dogs to new spaces gradually and pay close attention to body language, behavior, and comfort levels so I can adjust care to their needs. Dogs have access to comfortable resting areas, regular potty breaks, and supervised outdoor time in a secure space. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully for feeding, routines, medications, and exercise to maintain consistency. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for during each visit, and I provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident while they are away. My goal is always to create a safe, low stress experience where pets feel relaxed and owners feel complete peace of mind.
About: I have been caring for pets for my entire life. Knowing that your baby is as important to you as mine is to me, I will care for your furry friend as I would hope someone would care for my own baby. I’m looking to build my care community and availability so I will be able to help when needed. Currently Saturday and Sunday are fully available. Monday-Friday is mostly open with a few instances where I don’t have flexibility. I will care for your fluffy friends either at your home if that is your preference, or I can offer short term stays at my home. My preference is to keep animals where they are most comfortable.

“Sage took wonderful care of Ollie who needed a quiet, loving environment while we went to dinner and a show. She showed great sensitivity to his special needs (he is recovering from surgery), and was very reassuring and professional with us throughout the process. We will definitely call upon Sage the next time we are in Ashland.”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. They were there from the very beginning, and caring for them has always felt like a natural part of who I am. I’ve raised dogs from playful puppies, shared life with them through every stage, and had the honor of caring for them as they became seniors and needed extra love, patience, and support. My approach to pet care is rooted in patience, kindness, and positive reinforcement. I believe dogs learn best when they feel safe, understood, and encouraged. Every interaction is built around trust, respect, and helping your pet feel confident, comfortable, and loved. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else because they aren’t just pets—they’re family. I have experience giving medications, caring for senior dogs, and paying attention to the little things that help each dog feel secure and well cared for. My goal is to provide the same compassion and care I would want someone to give my own pets. Because my husband and I work from home, I’m lucky to be able to spend most of my day with the animals in my care. I love that pet sitting allows me to provide more than just a quick check-in—I can offer companionship, attention, and a calm, loving environment throughout the day. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including walks, meals, medications, playtime, and plenty of rest and affection. I know pets feel happiest when they feel secure and understood, and I’ll do my best to make your time away easier by giving them the same care and attention I’d want for my own. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. We have two happy, healthy, well-loved dogs of our own who are friendly and enjoy having new friends around. We have a large, securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air, playtime, and supervised outdoor time. We take our dogs on walks almost every day, and your dog is welcome to join in on our routine if they enjoy walks too. I believe dogs thrive when they feel included, and your dog will quickly become part of our pack while they’re here. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to introduce pets slowly, respect their personalities, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their new environment. My goal is for your dog to feel like they’re staying with family—not just being boarded.
“Denice was so kind and takes her role as a pet sitter very seriously. She knows animals and once I saw her set up I knew animals are her passion in life. Not a single thing will be missed with Denice watching your furbaby!”
“They are some of the best dog sitters we’ve ever had! They are always very responsive and send lots of updates and pictures. Our flights have been delayed on 2 separate trips and they have been so understanding and helpful with keeping him a little longer. We always know our boy is safe and happy with them!”
“Jessica’s home was warm and inviting and extremely dog friendly. My 8 month old doesn’t have manners yet and is a bit rambunctious but Jessica was so patient with her. Sent me pics and videos of her days. If my dog Tilly could speak the day after I picked her up I just know she would have said I want to go over to my friends house! Thank you so much for loving her during my absence. You are my person I will always call you first! Thank you again!”
“Jennifer was awesome with my spoiled boy. She didn’t hesitate to include him as part of her family and spent a great deal of time making sure everything was just as I asked. I’m probably a helicopter dog mom, but Jennifer was more than willing to comply with all my quirky boy’s lifestyle. Would def recommend if you have a kiddo requiring extra attention or if you need piece of mind while your baby is in her care.”
“Kimberly took amazing care of my 6 month old German Shepherd, Nova, during her 11-day stay. She kept me updated throughout the entire stay with frequent photos and videos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Nova received plenty of attention, exercise, and mental stimulation. As anyone with a young German Shepherd knows, keeping them active is important, and I could tell Nova was happy, well cared for, and had all the stimulation she needed. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with Kimberly again in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, experienced, caring, and communicative dog sitter.”
“Absolutely best dog sitters!! Got pictures or videos every day or every other day (which I perfered. Both brother and sister were supper accommodating and flexible about pick up and drop off. Asked about extra special food while on trip for the dogs to eat. Super friendly and I was super lucky to have found them for my first try on Rover. 6 stars.”
“Jamie is awesome with dogs. She is gentle and directive and my pup responded well to her. She also went out of her way to interact with my dog the way we do at home. She spoke to her in Spanish and kept up with practicing her usual tricks. And I was really impressed to hear that she ventured out to the river with her three dogs plus my little one who swam and played fetch. That is more than I could ask of any sitter. Thanks a million for your kindness towards animals including my very own!”
“Tina is awesome! She treated my 2 standard poodles as if they were her own. Although we both have hunting breeds, large poodles are agile athletic clowns that are part human. There was no problem with the 4 dogs together and Max and Isabeau enjoyed their week at Tina's while I was gone and I loved her updates she sent every day.”
