“Ashley was great, keeping me updated and sending pics. She was responsive, communicative and flexible. I will absolutely use her again. Thank you 🙏”
“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!!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter! She took great care of our cat, Nayla, and sent us daily pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Nayla was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We would definitely recommend her and will be using her again!”
“Summer was absolutely fantastic! My dog, Kenai, spent three weeks there and was taken great care of. Summer kept me up to date with pictures and reports during the stay, which I greatly appreciated!”
“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.”
“Amanda is amazing. Lola loves the whole family. Happy dogs at Amanda’s. Regular updates and feedback. Very responsible care. Thank you Amanda for taking the fear and anxiety out of the equation.”
“We are so happy to have found this family to take care of our fur babies! We received updates while we were gone and knew our boys were in good hands. I’m sure they really loved being around the 4 kids and in a home versus being in a kennel somewhere. Thank you!”
“Kiara and her family are so good with my pup! He is always so happy. She sends lots of pictures and gives us updates which we always love! I highly recommend booking with her:)”
“Denice is clearly an animal lover and my dogs clearly knew they were among friends. Introduced them to other animals appropriately and my pups seemed happy and healthy at pickup. I was worried they'd be sad because they are used to sleeping in bed with me and would be in kennels but they did really well and she worked to figure out what they specifically needed as she got to know them.”
“We were worried to leave our dog while travelling, but Jasmine was awesome and he had a great time staying with her! Jasmine was very quick to respond from our first message and after a meet and greet her personality put us at ease. She updated us during our trip with messages and pictures of him looking happy and comfortable, which helped us relax. Drop off and pick up were super easy and convenient. Would definitely book Jasmine in the future and I'm sure Rex would love to see her again!”
“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.”
“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.”
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 🐶💕
“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!”

“Madelyn will always be my first choice for watching my two cats. She’s communicative, leaves hilarious daily summaries and always sends plenty of photos that helps give piece of mind while traveling!”
“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!”
“Morgan was amazing with my dog Alli!!! She helped us out last minute, sent us a ton of pictures and updates on their visits, and took such good care of Alli! We’ll definitely use her again!!”
“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! .”
“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!”
About: I have worked as a veterinary technician for many years. I have also owned cats since I was about 15 years old. One of them was diabetic and received insulin injections twice a day. My two current cats were rescued from being feral. I have grown their trust over time and allowed them to trust me when they were ready, but able to provide the care that they needed.
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.
“Megan took very good care of my 2 kitties who were both very shy and scared for the first few days. She sat with them to make sure they ate and eventually they became friends. I'll definitely be booking again with them for our next trip.”
About: I’m Melissa! I run Valley Dog Treks and am a full time dog walker. My goldendoodle Cedar comes along on all of my walks. For hikes I have a car hammock and ruffland kennels depending on the pups needs. I’m a full time dog walker based out the Palmer area! My business is called Valley Dog Treks! My goldendoodle pup Cedar and I would love to meet up with you to see if we are a good fit!! I do leashed walks, drop ins + hikes. I carry pet protector spray with me on walks in case of offleash dogs charging us to protect your dogs, (it makes a loud noise, but is just air) For hikes I will leash your pup up before leaving your house, and then they will ride in either my Ruffland kennels or the car hammock in my backseat. I always have a pet first aid kit in my car, in case of any pet emergency you will be notified and I will be enroute to the nearest vet or your preferred vet depending on the needs of the pet.
“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. ❤️”
“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.”
About: I've taken care of cats my whole life. I've had nearly 10 cats in my lifetime and my main job has always been to take care of them. Back at home, I had 4 cats who were the lights of my life, and since I have moved away I now have 2 beautiful kitties and they are still the lights of my life.
“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!”
“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…”
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: 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.

“Astrid was great with our 13 month old puppy! We received texts and photos throughout the day and it was obvious our girl had a great day & lots of play time. She was tired and ready to come home, but not before running back to Astrid for one last hug. She was in good hands while we enjoyed a tour.”
“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! :)”
“Bami had a great time with Ashley. She worked with us to accommodate our timeline needs and really helped us out. Would definitely use Ashley to watch Bami in the future, if the need arises.”
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.

About: I love animals and being able to help you with your pet care needs. I would love spending some of that time on your canine companions or feline friend.

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. A small one connected to the house with a dog door and a bigger one. I have chickens who live in the bigger one during the summer. I am not currently having doggie visitors overnight as my cats don't like it.

About: I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and senior care for dogs. I am happiest when I am taking care of animals in whatever way they need love and care. 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.

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! Try to keep pets apart when feeding. Let out as often as requested (and feasible per my work schedule). Like to let pets play together if they’re friendly to each other.
About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals my entire life. From dogs, cats, birds, fish and turtles to livestock such as pigs, chickens and ducks.

About: I’ve grown up absolutely loving all kinds of furry friends! I’ve had the joy of helping raise and care for two amazing dogs of my own, along with plenty of experience looking after the pets of family and friends. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and enjoy caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to older puppies who prefer a slower pace. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, getting lots of cuddles, or simply relaxing by your side, I’m happy to give them the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m currently employed part-time while also attending school part-time as an online PTA student. Because my classes are primarily online, my schedule is fairly flexible and allows me to accommodate a variety of pet-sitting needs. I do have occasional in-person school lab days, but I’m able to plan around those in advance. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
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.
About: I have worked in Vet med for multiple years. I have worked emergency, surgery and general practice. I have worked with dogs, cats and exotics. I can medicate most animals without stress. I have also had animals for most of my life including dogs and cats. I currently own two cats. One of them I have had since four weeks old and the other since six months old. I currently work full time. I am available to work every Saturday and Sunday. I can also work Friday mornings or night. Monday-Thursday I work as a veterinary technicia. I make sure my pets are as comfortable as possible and they can interact with me if they like or leave me alone. Since my cats were feral when I first got them, it took months of gaining trust by sitting on the floor while they ate and providing them food under my bed. I allow pets to gain my trust.
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!
“Lance and Megan are amazing! Such sweet people that take amazing care of my goofy pup! My pup always comes back from his walks happy and ready for a nap. They're great at communication and our family highly recommends their services!!”
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.

For smaller pets (rabbits, guinea pigs etc) I am familiar with the special care that comes with their needs as I have small pets of my own. I am always willing to work with the client and their pets needs. I look forward to meeting your fur babies! i am currently only doing pet sitting, so i am free to attend to needs through out the day + week. please reach out for availability! 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: 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.
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! Please note: I decided to do animal care so my dog Hope can tag along with me on adventures!! 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!

“Ashley was great, keeping me updated and sending pics. She was responsive, communicative and flexible. I will absolutely use her again. Thank you 🙏”
“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!!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter! She took great care of our cat, Nayla, and sent us daily pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Nayla was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We would definitely recommend her and will be using her again!”
“Summer was absolutely fantastic! My dog, Kenai, spent three weeks there and was taken great care of. Summer kept me up to date with pictures and reports during the stay, which I greatly appreciated!”
“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.”
“We are so happy to have found this family to take care of our fur babies! We received updates while we were gone and knew our boys were in good hands. I’m sure they really loved being around the 4 kids and in a home versus being in a kennel somewhere. Thank you!”
“Kiara and her family are so good with my pup! He is always so happy. She sends lots of pictures and gives us updates which we always love! I highly recommend booking with her:)”
“Denice is clearly an animal lover and my dogs clearly knew they were among friends. Introduced them to other animals appropriately and my pups seemed happy and healthy at pickup. I was worried they'd be sad because they are used to sleeping in bed with me and would be in kennels but they did really well and she worked to figure out what they specifically needed as she got to know them.”
“We were worried to leave our dog while travelling, but Jasmine was awesome and he had a great time staying with her! Jasmine was very quick to respond from our first message and after a meet and greet her personality put us at ease. She updated us during our trip with messages and pictures of him looking happy and comfortable, which helped us relax. Drop off and pick up were super easy and convenient. Would definitely book Jasmine in the future and I'm sure Rex would love to see her again!”
“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.”
“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.”
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 🐶💕
“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!”

“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.”
