“Justin was wonderful at dealing with our very needy Old English Bulldog. He sent pictures and updates over the 2 weeks he had Freya, putting our minds at ease. Our dog enjoyed her stay with Justin so much she didn't want to leave when I went to pick her up! We will definitely use Justin again in the future.”
“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!!!”
“Cameron did a great job with Yogi! He communicated well and sent pictures with updates. He asked questions about Yogi's needs and what to expect as far as his behaviour. He gave Yogi a few hours to decompress before being introduced to the other dogs in the home. Very professional and mindful...would definitely bring Yogi back and highly recommend Cameron!”
“Kaitlyn and John took amazing care of my dog while I was away. This was the first time I left her at someone else’s home for an extended amount of time and it seemed as if my dog fit right in with their family and was given so much love and attention. They sent pictures and updates daily and my dog returned to me happy and healthy. I would love to have them watch my girl again next time I am in need of a pet sitter. Highly recommend!”
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 🐶💕
“They were amazing with Loki. He did great with their family and their other pets. They loved him just as much as we love him if I ever needed another dog sitter I’ll definitely go back to them and I will definitely recommend them to anybody else that needs one.”
“My dog was very happy. When a minor mishap did occur, Paula let me know and remedied it smoothly, while being attentive to my dog. If she’ll have her, I will happily trust my dog here again.”
“Our Ginger was in the best care while we were on vacation! We got daily updates with pictures and videos. Each picture or video she was peacefully snoring in someone’s arms. We will gladly have Lacie watch our baby in the future.”
“Kristina watched my pup for 10 days. She was very responsive and messaged me right back with updates. Dog had a good time and I would definitely book with Kristina again. Thanks!”
“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!”
“Amanda did great with Mia and working with my schedule. She is flexible if needed. I had to give a three day notice I was leaving for a couple of days and she gladly booked mia to stay. Mia enjoyed playing with all the doggies and I received photos every day. Will definitely book again.”
“I left Maggie with Ashley while we went on a 5 week long road trip and I was soooo very thankful for her amazing care! I never worried about Maggie on the trip because I knew she was so well taken care of and loved while I was gone!”
“Summer is so friendly and hospitable. She was extremely accommodating for my last minute booking! She updated me daily with photos and videos of how my boy was doing. It gave me such peace while I was away visiting family to know he was in great hands! Thank you, Summer!!”
“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.”
“Jennifer is super attentive and kind. She paid great attention with my dog and has kept me updated with lots of photos. I highly suggest her to anyone and has my greatest regards.”

“To say we were happy with Ruth would be an understatement. Ruth took care of our cat like it was her own. The peace of mind that comes from a compassionate and qualified person caring for your pet is immeasurable. We highly recommend her. ❤️”
“Mary Jo just sat for my kitties for the first time. She was great - left the house well cared for and both the kitties were calm and content. She was flexible enough to change my booking on short notice. My house isn't the easiest - being a dry cabin, but she did great. Thanks! I'd love to book her again if she is interested.”
“Who loves Madelyn more?? The humans or our kitty?! Madelyn continues to go above and beyond when she takes care of Cookie. She cleans up our home when our kitty makes a mess and she was even down to take him on leashes walks, in addition to usual cat stuff. Even though we miss Cookie dearly when we’re gone, our hearts are happy knowing Madelyn gives him love! And we also love the detailed card comments💕”
“Kacy did a wonderful job of taking care of my kitty. Sadie is an elderly kitty who has lots of quirks but Kacy worked really hard at winning her over and was very conscientious to notice her habits to help reduce her anxiety. Kacy kept me informed every day and was open to suggestions about taking care of Sadie. She took care with my house just as if it were her own. I can't thank Kacy enough! .”
“Hailey did a great job. She always kept in contact with me each day and let me know that she could find the cats if I asked her. Let me know their food and water levels as well. Great job, thank you!”
About: Cats are fun and unique and require a special type of care! I currently have two cats, one young and one old. They have provided me with well-rounded experience of both energetic and chill cats alike. I am happy to offer in home visits for cats needing socializing.
“Heaven did great for a seven day house-sit! I had quite the menagerie at the time - fish, frogs, birds, cats, and came to all of them happy and healthy and the house just as tidy as when we left.”
“Jennifer went above & beyond! She’s very sweet & bubbly, also professional & kind. She adapted to all my crazy-cat-lady antics & took care of my cat so well! She even cleaned up after a surprise bird massacre…”
“Salem was fantastic with my very particular animals & keeping their routine normal. She was incredibly easy to communicate with, she sent daily pictures & even took out our trash can & collected our mail. She is a rockstar & we are so glad we chose her!”
“Melissa was an absolute sweetheart! She came to meet our 2 kitties and did a short walkthrough of our house before we left. During her visits I got pictures of my cats and little updates everyday. I was very comfortable with having her watching over our cats, it felt nice not having to worry about them! If I need to, I’d definitely hire Melissa again, and I recommend you do the same!”
About: Iv had dogs my entire life. From labs to bullterriers, pitbulls, britneys,GPS puppies, mixes. I will take care of yours as I would my own. Walks, parks if yours likes parks, cuddles, anything they need. I work from home so I have lots of flexibility to care for your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays after 2pm. I’m happy to accommodate early mornings or extended stays with advance notice, and I’m quick to respond to messages. Your dog’s safety is always my top priority. Dogs are always leashed outside and stay within my sight at all times. I closely follow your care instructions, keep a calm and attentive environment, and make sure pets get plenty of love, supervision, and safe play. I treat every dog like they’re my own.
“Katie is such a treasure! She took incredibly good care of my pups, sharing pics and observations of them the whole time I was away. Even went above and beyond and made an extra visit when my flight home was delayed. So glad she’s joined us here in the Wood River Valley!”
About: Just like with doggies, I have been fostering cats for about 10 years and I have also grown up with a few, so I have a ton of experience with caring for kitties with many different needs, including caring for those who need medication and special care.
About: I’m not a teen :) so I will show up without fail on time every time. I’m not the cheap option but I guarantee that there’ll be no surprises if you hire me. If you have multiple pets, please reach out to me, we can discuss a personalized rate. (Pet Sitting/night rate covers me being with your pet 17hours/day, usually from 5 pm to 10 am) I am around dogs and cats all my life, that’s my happy place and I love every aspect of it, even the not so glamorous parts like cleaning, listening to barking, or dealing with emergencies. I worked at a pet Resort for years here in Alaska working with all types of furry friends. I have a soft spot for seniors, I also have a lovely old lady in my home, a 12 year old German Shepherd, Molly. If I may suggest something to any pet owner in our valley: please don’t choose your sitter based on who’s the cheapest available option… taking care of your pets in your home is a big responsibility. Great joy as well of course but it must be done with 100% attention, care and love. I can promise that 100% because that’s the only setting in my book when it comes to animals. Please feel free to reach out to me if you need help, I would love to be there for you and for your pets. I raised three children, all grown-up now. I have the time now for your pets. Because of my love for animals, I look forward to helping you when you need it! Safety is THE most important aspect of taking care of a pet, so before I start working with one I always have multiple questions to the owner. Knowing your doggie, knowing the routine, the environment etc is a crucial factor in providing a safe and quality service.
About: Hello! My name is Joanna. I grew up around animals since I lived on acreage. As a kid we had cows, chickens, ducks, dogs, and cats. I used to pet sit all of the time when I was in high school and even helped train bird dogs. I currently have a dog of my own, her name is Aurora, she is 85 lbs of pure outgoing love. I have plenty of experience with cats as well, I used to cat sit and even foster. I have a pretty lenient schedule, I am flexible so as long as we are able to communicate pick up and drop off it should be fine. We live on acreage where I takes the dogs for a walk and we also have two big dog kennels. I have a dog and so does my mom so they will have friends to play with. We have one outdoor cat but no indoor cats. If you have cats we have a litter box and they will stay inside.

“Justin has taken exceptional care of Felix. Super responsive, warm welcome every day and great updates at the end of the day. Flexible to meet all the needs of my senior pup and crazy work schedule. So so grateful for the attention and care Justin gives my old pup! Couldn’t ask for a better arrangement. Thank you Justin!”
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.
“Our dog immediately liked Cameron. We were worried how he would do because we've rarely gotten sitters for him but he had a great time and Cameron was very professional and knew how to handle our dogs quirks. We'd definitely leave Coltrane with him again!.”

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: I have grown up with large dogs my whole life including Siberian huskies, Malamutes, Burnese Mountain Dogs and Newfoundlanders. I love all animals, but the extra large ones hold my heart. I’m currently working part-time, so I have a lot of time to watch/adventure with your fur babies! I am also a part-time online student so I have great flexibility to adapt based on doggo needs. I have a fenced yard and practically live at public parks and trails so it is always walkies/adventure time with me (if the weather allows of course)
About: Spent six years mushing with a recreational team, down to one dog now & just love dogs and skilled at caring for & managing many sorts of dogs. Very active lifestyle and love getting outside and exercising dogs. A tired dog is a good dog:) I work seasonally and have the winters off so I have lots of time for dog care and an open and flexible schedule. Doing foster care this winter so being pretty domestic and would love to sit some extra dogs for people. Have a nice large pet friendly home shared with one other well behaved husky and one teenager. It has a big (unfenced) yard and close to cravass moraine trail system which we frequent almost every day.
About: Looking for a safe and comfortable home away from home for your furry friend? I offer loving, reliable, and stress-free pet boarding in a cozy, pet-friendly environment. With years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I provide personalized attention, plenty of playtime, and lots of cuddles! I understand how important it is to leave your pet in trusted hands, and I treat every guest like my own. Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs, or just relaxing, I make sure they feel right at home. I have a very flexible work schedule, allowing me to be home most of the day and available all weekend long. I live on two acres, in a very quiet and safe neighborhood. My home is very spacious and clean, with plenty of space for pets to feel right at home. I can’t wait to welcome your pet into my care!

I have watched dogs and cats off and on for friends and family for more than ten years. I have also raised small animals and reptiles. I am friendly but firm and will treat your furry friend like my own. They will get lots of love, exercise, and petting. Please give me a chance to win over your pet. I am a teacher so busy during the school year and mostly free during the summer. During the school year I am available evenings and weekends. I have two fenced yards.

“Yarrow had a great day! It was our first time taking him to day care and he had so much fun and was so well taken care of! It was all he can talk about and will definitely be coming back in the future!”
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.
“Forrest was absolutely exhausted when we got home and had an amazing day with Zhenya. Forrest will staying for the weekend and planning a day at daycare with Zhenya has definitely put my mind to ease for boarding. Highly recommend!”
“Chelsea was amazing! Our dog is a big ball of energy and she handled him like a champ! We got updates with pictures and videos of Lefty playing in the huge yard with their dog, Tok and even the cat! He came home happy as can be! Thank you again!”

About: As a dog owner myself, I’ve had the joy of a furry companion by my side for many years. Additionally, I was a dog bather throughout college and have experience with an assortment of breeds. I enjoy connecting with pets and giving them the chance to get adequate exercise and socialization, especially in Alaskas dark months. I hope that we can find a good fit! I am currently working full time, so most walks and visits will be in the afternoons and evenings! Most weekends are fairly flexible. I do have a young child, so there are some limitations with certain availability. Safety is key and all pets deserve to feel comfortable in their own home without feeling like a stranger is infringing on their space. I will help gauge the unique needs for your individual pet and take your instructions as the owner to make them as at ease as possible.

I especially love helping out with farm animals whenever I have the chance! I am a full time animal lover! I prefer to check on your critters in their own homes frequently each day giving them plenty of time to run around and play or have some love and companionship. When I check on your pets in their homes I will be sure they have everything they need to be comfortable and safe while I’m away. I will also spend an hour with them to make sure they have plenty of time to do their business outside and get their wiggles out if they need it.
About: I have watched my friends and family’s pups like they’re my own countless times! We always have such a great time. I have one dog, Ricco, who is great with other pups of all sizes and ages. We have a large intended yard that’s great for fetch and trails nearby for walks or runs! I work 7.5hrs per day, MWF I work from home and TR I work in Wasilla. I like to take the fur babes everywhere that I can, just to get them out of the house, even if it’s mundane post office runs or whatever. Per manufacturer’s (owner’s) instructions!

About: I have worked in the pet sitting world for 10 years. I have cared for all types of dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, mice & rats, ferrets, and hamsters. I am skilled in giving pet medication for your furry friends special needs. I have worked with dogs & cats of all ages and sizes.

Dog walking: I do my best to stick to your pets routines. If your dog is on a more structured schedule/obedience, I will keep them on that schedule. I will keep pets crated if told to do so. Walks will always start with greeting/leashing, then we head out for fun! Upon arrival back to your home, pups will get a treat, fresh water, and some love before I leave. Pet photos will be sent to the client after our walk. For house boarding & Doggy Day Care: all pets including my own dog, will always be crated upon leaving the home for their own safety. I will only allow dogs to stay in my home upon meeting the dog first, and making sure they're dog friendly and okay with cats. I prefer to keep only one other dog in my home at a time but will make exceptions for the right dogs/fit. dogs are expected to be well behaved in my home and not have destructive or aggressive habits.
About: Growing up I always wanted to be a veterinarian. I still do. I just love the critters! Dogs, cats, lizards, chickens, guinea pigs... They're all fun! I treat your animal like my own. They're allowed up on the couch, on the bed. They ride around in the car with me and go visit friends. Looking forward to our next adventure together! I work part time and make my own schedule. My goal would be to spend as much time with the animal, and leave it as seldom as possible while in my care. We have a fenced portion of yard, walks can be provided. And for sleep we can crate or let free. Lots of love and snuggles too, of course!
About: I know we all love our pets like they're our own children (which is exactly what they are) I have experience with a wide variety of animals from small rodents to dogs, and I love each and every single one of them. Currently I own three dogs and cats, so I know what it's like to have so many things to do and possibly not having time for that walk, or becoming stressed when thinking about travel plans and who is going to watch your pets. I have extensive experience with medical animals as I work at a local vet clinic as a vet and I am a human nurse! Thank you so much for considering me to take care of your babies, I hope you have a wonderful day!
About: Hey all!! I’ve been caring for my own animals;horses,dogs,cats,rabbits,etc for most of my life(30+yrs) I’ve also always been the friend whom everyone asks to care for their furry friend. I went to school to become a veterinary technician and have practiced in animal hospitals for a couple of years but now work seasonally as a wildlife biologist in the Mojave Desert. I love to be active with our pets, whether it’s a short or long walk or I can even take them out in the trails! If they want tons of love and affection, I’ll give it to them. If they are not so social, I can give them their space but still talk to them to let them know they are safe and still being loved, even when their family is not around. Love cats and completely understand them, ha ha! I work a few months in the spring and fall down in the L48 but while I’m home it’s nice to have part time work while also enjoying my outdoor lifestyle. I won’t be staying at homes because I have my 13yo cat who has recently bend diagnosed with kidney failure so am trying to be w her as much as possible. Allowing the animals to feel how they want about me or whatever it is we may or may not do. Most important to me is gaining the trust and confidence and going from there.

“Justin was wonderful at dealing with our very needy Old English Bulldog. He sent pictures and updates over the 2 weeks he had Freya, putting our minds at ease. Our dog enjoyed her stay with Justin so much she didn't want to leave when I went to pick her up! We will definitely use Justin again in the future.”
“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!!!”
“Cameron did a great job with Yogi! He communicated well and sent pictures with updates. He asked questions about Yogi's needs and what to expect as far as his behaviour. He gave Yogi a few hours to decompress before being introduced to the other dogs in the home. Very professional and mindful...would definitely bring Yogi back and highly recommend Cameron!”
“Kaitlyn and John took amazing care of my dog while I was away. This was the first time I left her at someone else’s home for an extended amount of time and it seemed as if my dog fit right in with their family and was given so much love and attention. They sent pictures and updates daily and my dog returned to me happy and healthy. I would love to have them watch my girl again next time I am in need of a pet sitter. Highly recommend!”
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 🐶💕
“They were amazing with Loki. He did great with their family and their other pets. They loved him just as much as we love him if I ever needed another dog sitter I’ll definitely go back to them and I will definitely recommend them to anybody else that needs one.”
“My dog was very happy. When a minor mishap did occur, Paula let me know and remedied it smoothly, while being attentive to my dog. If she’ll have her, I will happily trust my dog here again.”
“Our Ginger was in the best care while we were on vacation! We got daily updates with pictures and videos. Each picture or video she was peacefully snoring in someone’s arms. We will gladly have Lacie watch our baby in the future.”
“Kristina watched my pup for 10 days. She was very responsive and messaged me right back with updates. Dog had a good time and I would definitely book with Kristina again. Thanks!”
“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!”
“I left Maggie with Ashley while we went on a 5 week long road trip and I was soooo very thankful for her amazing care! I never worried about Maggie on the trip because I knew she was so well taken care of and loved while I was gone!”
“Summer is so friendly and hospitable. She was extremely accommodating for my last minute booking! She updated me daily with photos and videos of how my boy was doing. It gave me such peace while I was away visiting family to know he was in great hands! Thank you, Summer!!”
“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.”
“Jennifer is super attentive and kind. She paid great attention with my dog and has kept me updated with lots of photos. I highly suggest her to anyone and has my greatest regards.”
