“Kelsey and Alexis made my pups feel like family. They came home happy and tired. They went above and beyond my expectations and our family is so glad that we found them! It is obvious that they love dogs and enjoy caring for them.”
“Our dogs always love staying with Lynn. They have such a wonderful time playing, walking and napping. Their favorite pastimes are eating her special treats and watching for squirrels. We never worry about them when we drop them off with her - she treats them like her own.”
“As usually Erin did a superb job watching our fur baby! She loves staying at Erin’s and Erin goes above and beyond to take good care of our fur baby while we are away!”
“One of the best dog sitters I’ve had! She took care of my dog in her home like he was part of their family. Sent so many great pictures and updates which put me at ease during my dog’s first stay with Christany and her family. Quick responses. Rebooked already for another stay! We appreciate this warm and loving home!”
“Kazue took excellent care of our senior dogs. She sent pictures multiple times daily! Our dogs seemed happy and healthy when we picked them up. We will be asking Kazue for her services again for our next trip!”
“Marya sent pictures often showing both dogs having a good time and playing. Our daughter picked them up and said the dogs were happy and taking a walk. Thanks Marya for taking great care of the pups. They will see you in a few days.”
“Cody the senior Labrador is well cared for by Achara and her family. When I pick him up from a stay at her house, he is always very relaxed and calm. There is this satisfied sense about him. I highly recommend Achara.”
“I can't say enough about how positive the experience was. Melissa and her family are super sweet and caring. We arranged to have our dogs meet in advance, which was great, and Melissa took the time to make that happen. My dog took some time to socialize with their other dogs, but Melissa was accommodating and helpful to make sure that process went smoothly. She also sent pictures and video while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Alesya was wonderful! She sent us numerous pictures and communicated daily on Mia’s progress while she was staying with Alesya and her family. It’s obvious that Alesya cares deeply about the dogs that she watches.”
“We loved having Ruby watch our pup and take such amazing care of him! We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and felt at complete ease during our whole vacation. She provided several updates a day, with pictures and videos. Thank you so much for taking care of Rocky!!”
“Sarah (and her wonderful daughters) went above and beyond caring for our fur babies! Leaving your pets behind is always tough, but Sarah made it completely worry-free. She kept us in the loop the entire time and sent the sweetest photo updates that totally brightened our days. Our dogs absolutely adored her and her family—they looked so incredibly happy, relaxed, and loved in every single picture. It is such a relief to find a sitter who truly treats your pets like their own. Sarah is reliable, communicative, and exceptionally kind. We cannot recommend her highly effects and will definitely be booking her again!”
“Richard was absolutely awesome! He took such great care of my dog and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. He was caring, responsible, communicative, and clearly loves animals. I really appreciated the updates and knowing my dog was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Richard to anyone looking for a trustworthy and wonderful dog sitter!💕”
“Sade is great and responded to a last minute request. She was communicative, and she responses very quickly. Her home is organized and clean, and her two fur babies are adorable. Trina stayed with her for one night and was well taken care of. I would come back again, thanks Sade!”
“It was my first time leaving my pup with another family ever and they made me feel so at ease with updates and pictures daily. They were so calm even though my pup was very nervous at first. I HIGHLY recommend trusting them with your pup and I would definitely contact them again for boarding my pup.”
“My regular sitter had to back out at the last minute and I was stressing out, but I'm very grateful to Marc and Rachael for accepting my 3 fur kids at the last minute. They sent me updates and pictures everyday, and I could tell that my dogs were very well cared for. Their house was a great environment for my doggies, and they did a great job with dogsitting them for a whole week. Highly recommended!”

“Mooney is a fantastic sitter! He took great care of our cat while we were gone on vacation. He goes the extra mile to connect with your pet and make them feel comfortable and safe. He is very responsive and quick to respond to messages. We felt at ease knowing Mooney was watching our baby. We highly recommend Mooney and will definitely look forward to using his services again in the future!”
“I’ve booked with her three times now. This time - for drop-ins with my cat, and she has been consistently great. She always makes sure his litter box is clean, his food and water are full, and she takes the time to play with him, which I really appreciate. It gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in good hands while I’m away. She does a wonderful job, and I’ll definitely keep booking with her!”
“Rebekka was amazing with my cat and dog. I could just tell by the photos she sent us how much they loved having her company. She went above and beyond with everything, especially communication. You can trust her with your fur babies!”
About: There hasn’t been a time in my life when I didn’t have a companion animal, and cats have always held a massive place in my heart. I have extensive experience owning, fostering, and sitting cats of all ages, personalities, and backgrounds—from energetic kittens to independent seniors. I know that cats are creatures of habit who thrive on consistency, and I pride myself on stepping in to provide a seamless routine, picking up exactly where you left off so your cat feels safe and secure while you're away. I know that cats operate on their own terms. Whether your cat is a social butterfly who craves constant chin scratches, or a shy hider who needs space and a quiet environment, I read their body language and respect their boundaries. I never force interaction, allowing them to warm up to me naturally.
“Andrew was great with our 5+ month old kitten. We were away for a few days and he took great care of him. Andrew was communicative during our time away and send us pictures. Andrew was really flexible when we came back to pick our kitten especially since our plane got delayed by 2hrs and we ended picking up later at night than planned.”
“Jennifer and family were great!! I think they went above and beyond to care for our dog Chewie while we were out of town for Thanksgiving. I would highly recommend her and will book her again when needed!! Thanks Jennifer💕”
About: I’ve cared for cats for family, friends, and neighbors, helping with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, treats, and check-ins. I understand that cats can have very different personalities and may need time to feel comfortable with someone new, so I’m patient and respectful of their space while building trust with them. I’m attentive to their routines and behavior and make sure they receive plenty of care, companionship, and affection. I’m also comfortable caring for cats of different ages and energy levels, including giving extra attention to senior or more timid cats. My goal is to make sure every cat feels safe, comfortable, happy, and cared for while their family is away.
About: I grew up with a miniature poodle and now live with a 70 pound labradoodle. I often dogsit for family and friends, including a mini-doodle and two rescues. I currently have a very flexible schedule. I am available on weekends and weekdays at any time. I look forward to working with your schedule. When I care for dogs, they have my full attention. I will provide them whatever care they need, wether it is play, comfort, or rest.
About: I’ve always taken care of cats since a young age. I know what they need, what to hide from them lol and how to care for them. I have had lots of cats growing up and they all are loved dearly and given so much affection. I also have taken care of plenty of other people’s fur babies as well
About: Hi, I’m Sierra! Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs since I was a baby and started officially caring for animals when I was just 10. Since then, I’ve looked after all sorts of pets—dogs, cats, birds, and even bunnies! Right now, I have three wonderful dogs (two energetic huskies and a lovable golden retriever) and two cats (a playful ragdoll and a curious tabby). So, trust me when I say I understand how important it is to know your pets are being loved and well cared for when you’re not around. I know each animal is unique, and I love getting to know their personalities—whether it’s a quick walk to get them moving, a drop-in visit for some playtime, or an overnight stay where they need extra attention. I work very part-time, which gives me the flexibility to be there for your pet when they need me. Plus, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—they’re my happy place, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. Whether you have a playful puppy that needs to burn off some energy or a laid-back senior dog who just wants some company, I’ve got the experience to make sure they’re getting exactly what they need. I’m here to make your life easier and ensure your pets are well taken care of—like they’re part of my own family! :) I work part time so I can be almost full availability besides a few 4 hour shifts a week, besides that I can be with the animals full time! I will do whatever means necessary to ensure your animals safety! Whatever works with you will work with me. I’m very flexible and easy to work with !

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through owning and looking after two of my own. I understand the importance of providing regular exercise, feeding, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I also volunteered at FieldHaven for five months, where I cared for cats and gained experience meeting the needs of animals in a safe and compassionate environment. I genuinely enjoy connecting with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently not working so I have a pretty flexible schedule and I am basically free whenever. Walking animals fits perfectly into my routine because I enjoy going on walks myself so why not take a furry friend along with me 🤗. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and lots of affection. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to help them feel happy and secure.
About: With a lifetime of experience around animals and the last 7 years being dedicated to hands-on pet care, I've decided to put my passion and love for animals into full-time pet sitting. I currently have 4 dogs and 1 cat in the home, most of my pets throughout my life have been rescues. My german shepherd that was rescued 7 years ago really brought out my passion for working with animals. I have experience with a range of breeds, ages, sizes, personalities, high-maintenance care, medical care, you name it! I'm not just a dog or cat person, I'm an animal lover. The pets we bring into our homes are family, and I strive to make sure all feel comfortable and content. I promise to provide a safe, fun, and loving environment for your furry (or scaly, feathery, hairless) friends. I’m currently dedicating myself to pet sitting full-time so I have plenty of time to spend with your loved ones! I’m available 7 days a week, anytime you need—day or night! Your pets needs and wellbeing is top priority. I will always ensure basic needs are met first such as food, water, medication, bathroom breaks, etc. Boundaries are very important to me and I will make sure to never cross them, please make me aware of any and all!
About: I’ve grown up around all size, animals, and dogs. I’ve also sat for many friends! Beings that I have grown up around all sizes and have experience with watching other people’s dogs I find that I would make a great fit to watch your pet! I am currently employed with a remote job and I am very flexible with my day to day. With that being said I can’t wait to hang with your puppy! I have a fenced in backyard and live on a large piece of property, with that being said your pup will be so loved and have so much area to run and play
About: I've had the pleasure of loving and taking care of furbabies of all sizes for 20 years. I first started pet sitting for an acquaintance in 2005. Later, when I became established in the area as a trusted house cleaner, I started pet sitting for some of my clients and their friends. Sadly, I lost all my clients and contacts save one in the Camp Fire as my client base was in Paradise and Magalia. Since then, I have taken care of my own little furbabies and ever so often cared for the Chihuahua/Pug/Terrier mix of the one remaining client from Paradise. Within the years that I was actively pet sitting, I took care of dogs of all sizes from Chihuahuas to Whippets. I am excited to once again assist you with your pet sitting needs and ensure the best attention is given to your dog’s health, happiness, and well-being! For my clients in Paradise and Magalia, I did both drop-ins and overnight stays. (My favorite memory was staying with two little lovely Dachsies for three weeks!) I made sure each pet I took care of was fed as per the instructions given to me and that they had access to fresh, clean water. Whether it’s maintaining a regular meal routine or making sure your pet stays hydrated throughout the day, I prioritize comfort and health for all furbabies in my care. I also have experience administering medications, whether oral or topical, and am dedicated to ensuring your pets specific medical needs are met with precision and care. I know personally the importance of a vet's instructions and the proper maintenance of a consistent medication routine. I also know the importance of exercise in keeping a pet happy and healthy. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or a more vigorous activity, I am happy to ensure that your pet gets the exercise and playtime they need! Above all, each dog that I have taken care of I have treated as part of my family. I look forward to providing your furbaby with the same love, attention, and care that I have given to my past clients and to my own pets! My schedule has changed and is more open during the work week. I currently have a day job between the hours of 12:30PM and 2:30PM, Monday through Friday. My hours can be flexible with this day job. I am available early morning and some evenings during the work week. My schedule changes, on occasion, in the evenings Monday through Friday. My weekends are fully free and am available for pet sitting, dog walking and drop-ins all day on Saturday and Sunday. For any pet in my care, whether it has been a client's pet or my own, I have always ensured that they have gotten plenty of love and quality care. For past clients, I adhered to all instructions given pertaining to feeding time, exercise and medications if applicable. I made sure there were plenty of cuddles and that every pet in my care felt safe and secure.

I truly understand that every pet has a unique personality and set of needs, and I pride myself on stepping in to provide seamless, consistent care—picking up exactly where you left off. Whether your pet needs high-energy play, strict medical/routine management, or just gentle, attentive companionship, I am here to provide peace of mind. Whatever you and your animals need, I'm your girl! I work full-time providing home care for adults with mental health and developmental disabilities. Because my shifts can be non-traditional, clear communication is my absolute priority to ensure your pet's schedule is perfectly maintained. I keep my Rover calendar strictly updated with my work hours so you always know my exact availability before booking. If an 8-hour shift overlaps with your needed care times, we will discuss a seamless game plan beforehand to ensure your pet is fully looked after. Outside of my shift hours, I put focus on pet care. My background makes me highly routine-oriented, meaning I am incredibly reliable when it comes to early morning check-ins, evening walks, or overnight sitting blocks. I believe every pet deserves the perfect fit. If my work schedule ever conflicts with what your pet needs, I will be completely transparent upfront so you can find the best match for them. If we are a match, you can count on absolute reliability, consistent updates, and a dedicated sitter who treats your schedule—and your pet—with total respect! Whether I am caring for your pet in the comfort of your own home or hosting them with me, safety and open communication are my absolute top priorities. I treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect, ensuring a secure, low-stress environment. I strictly follow your household rules, feeding schedules, and medication timelines. Keeping their environment consistent prevents anxiety while you are away.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life—from growing up with family pets to caring for my own as an adult—giving me years of hands-on experience and a deep understanding of their needs, behavior, and personalities. I’m a true dog-person and absolutely love being around them—they bring so much joy and companionship to everyday life. Sadly, I’ve had two of my own dogs pass away after living long, happy lives, but through that, I’ve gained valuable experience in providing the special care and attention older dogs often need. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. 💞 First time using Rover? Use this link before you book for $20.00 off: https://www.rover.com/sit/rubyb72826 Furthermore, I’m a Registered Nurse (who stays home full-time with my kids now)… however, I have experience administering medications to pets and will ensure your doggie gets any needed medicine while you’re away. I love caring for humans and pets alike, and would love to walk and/or board your sweet fur-babe while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom with a lovable Shih Tzu of my own, caring for pets is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day and already spend lots of time walking, playing, and giving attention to my dog—so welcoming your furry friend into our routine comes naturally and with lots of love. I intentionally keep my bookings limited so each dog gets plenty of individual attention and feels like part of the family. At our home, every fur-babe is welcomed like a member of our family. Upon arrival, they’ll be given time to explore and settle in comfortably, at their own pace. I strive to create a warm, stress-free environment filled with cozy nooks, comfy beds, and plenty of playtime in our large back yard. The neighborhood also has a large park I can walk them to for some exercise and extra sunshine. I’ll ensure they have a familiar routine and are given lots of attention, from gentle belly rubs, to snuggles on the couch. I love sending photos and updates to keep you connected! You can rest assured knowing your pet is happy, safe, and surrounded by love while you’re away. Pets can sleep in an enclosed area with blankets and a bed or in a crate, if preferred.
About: I have loved animals my whole life. And taken care of my own and others for half of my life. I love any animal I care for like my own! I have pet sat for and walked all kinds of animals from cats, dogs, chicken, and even a squirrel. My boyfriend also has a tortoise that I help care for when I go over to his place. This gives me a large range in my experience with different animals. From learning to spot the signes of when they start to feel the need to get aggressive with each other giving me the ability to stop a fight, to giving them love and attention which is something all animals deserve! If taking care of your baby(pet) is something you would allow me to do, I will love, care for, and protect them as if they were my own because it is my goal to insure that both the pet and their owner feels the pet is being well cared for! I can work any day of the week, other than some weekends. And would greatly appreciate a days notice beforehand to prepare and create a plan. I can walk, feed, provide water, pet, play games such as fetch or different games with cats including the Lazer pointer. I will break up any possible alterations by removing the pet from that situation. I can also brush them for dematting their hair or just regular maintenance, and pet the animal to calm them down and insure they feel loved. My gole to insure both the pet and owner feels their baby is well cared for.
About: I have loved animals since I was small, volunteered at animal rescues since I was a child, and have my own menagerie of furry critters. I worked at a horse stable for over 7 years and owned a horse so also am knowledgeable about horses, donkeys, goats, chickens in addition to cat and dogs. I have trained all my dogs for over 15 years so understand how to kindly guide dogs. I have given medicine in all forms and am well versed in pet home first aid. I am currently working full time but have a flexible schedule so can usually accommodate any time of day with some notice. I walk my own dogs twice a day and live in an area with 5 parks. I take my dogs to the park frequently too so can easily add another dog to the mix. I have a fenced yard and a large pet filled home. My yard has a patio cover and a fan to keep everyone comfortable. For well behaved dogs who are cat savvy and non destructive, I can offer them to come inside and hang out on the couches. For other people’s homes, I love getting to know pets and will gladly try to make them as comfortable as possible. I’m happy to play with their favorite toys and give plenty of pets.

“I couldn't be more pleased with Benjamin's exceptional dog walking services. He walked my beloved dog, Ty Chi, for a week twice a day, and the care and attention he provides are truly outstanding. From the very first walk, it was evident that Benjamin has a genuine passion for dogs. He takes the time to understand my dog's unique needs and personality, ensuring that Ty Chi always feels comfortable and happy. Benjamin's care for details is remarkable—he meticulously follows all instructions regarding Ty Chi's specific needs. He even takes the time to update me with photos and notes after each walk, which I greatly appreciate. Punctuality is another one of Benjamin's strengths. He has never missed a scheduled walk and always arrives on time, ready to give Ty Chi the exercise and attention he needs. This reliability gives me peace of mind, knowing that my dog is in capable and trustworthy hands. What truly sets Benjamin apart is his attention to detail. He notices the little things that make a big difference, such as adjusting the leash to ensure Ty Chi's comfort to make the walk even more enjoyable. His thoughtful approach shows how much he cares about the dogs he walks. I highly recommend Benjamin to anyone in need of a dog walker who is not only professional and reliable but also genuinely cares about the well-being of your pet. Ty Chi and I are incredibly grateful for Benjamin's outstanding service and look forward to many more walks together!”
About: I’ve had personal experience with animals of all kinds for my entire life. I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs, I’ve owned guinea pigs, and handled reptiles. I’ve dog sat many times over the past few years for family and friends. I currently spend a lot of time home and am looking for some extra money. I figured spending that time with animals would make me happiest. I have a cat of my own and I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with lots of grass area for dogs! I have lots of cat toys and comfy places to hang out.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, helping family, friends, and neighbors with feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, potty breaks, check-ins, and keeping them company. I’m comfortable helping with daily routines such as giving treats, cleaning up after pets, providing exercise, playing fetch, giving them attention and affection, and making sure they are comfortable and safe in their home. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, routine, and needs, and I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel comfortable and secure. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and able to recognize when a dog may need space, extra attention, or reassurance. I’m currently a part-time college student and looking for a part-time job, so I have flexibility in my schedule for pet care. I’m available for pet sitting, walks, check-ins, and other pet-care needs around my class schedule. I’m happy to communicate with pet parents ahead of time to make sure I can provide reliable, consistent, and loving care for their pets. I have a safe and caring environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I take pet safety seriously and always follow their normal routines, feeding instructions, medication directions, and exercise needs. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and supervision while making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I’m also respectful of clients’ homes and will treat their pets and belongings with the same care I would want for my own.
About: I have had a variety of animals always in my life. I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish and rodents. (All of which I've had at some point) I have also worked for a rescue charity for 7+ years which resulted in having learned basic and emergency care, as well as administration of medication. I am retired and looking to fill my time with love and cuddles. I have always enjoyed caring for the variety of animals I have and have had. I love learning all the cute special quirks and loves of every animal I interact with. I am very respectful of other people's space and items - my focus is on the animals in my charge. I can feed, walk, play and generally be a companion to any animal. I also respect the home and treat it even better than my own, ensuring that I leave the home as I found it.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was around 10 years old, starting with my own family dogs and being responsible for feeding them, letting them out, playing with them, and making sure they were taken care of while I was home. As I got older, I started pet sitting for friends and family and eventually for people I didn’t know personally as well. I’ve also helped my friend Jade with her pet-sitting clients and have watched pets for a previous manager. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, overnight care, and following each pet’s individual routine. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I’ll always treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. I typically work morning shifts and am usually done with work by 12pm at the latest, which gives me plenty of availability throughout the afternoon and evening for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and overnight care. My schedule can vary week to week, but I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you leave for me, including feeding, walks, medications, crate routines, and any household rules. I want your pet to feel as safe and comfortable as possible while you’re away, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and love.
About: Proud dog mom and foster dog mom 🤍 my husband and I love helping out our local rescues by fostering as often as we can. I’ve been around dogs my entire life, starting with my first family dog when I was just six years old. Growing up, my family raised a variety of breeds, from a tiny Yorkie to a massive English Mastiff, as well as a lovable Labrador. I’ve always had a deep love for dogs, and over the years, friends and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets—whether it’s dog sitting, walking, or simply keeping them company while they’re away. One of my proudest achievements is the training my husband and I have done with our own dog, Ziti. We’ve dedicated time to researching and practicing different training methods, successfully teaching her basic obedience commands like sit, stay, lay down, and paw, as well as fun tricks like “between” (where she sits between our legs), “search,” “high ten,” and even “jump.” I believe every dog is capable of learning with the right approach, patience, and consistency. Training methods may vary depending on the dog, but I take pride in working with each one individually to help them build confidence and master new skills. I’m excited to share my knowledge and experience to help your dog thrive! I am available throughout the week, some evenings throughout the week, as well as on the weekends. I especially enjoy taking our pup out in the mornings during the week and having a family day with my fiance too on the weekends and getting to enjoy the beautiful outdoors. It would truly make myself and Ziti (our dog) so happy to be able to share that experience! I crate train my dog at my house as she has been crate trained since she was little. I designate certain blankets, areas on the couch, and places throughout the house that our dog is allowed on and make sure that I clarify if there is a similar standard in a client’s home.
About: Hi, I’m Sierra! Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs since I was a baby and started officially caring for animals when I was just 10. Since then, I’ve looked after all sorts of pets—dogs, cats, birds, and even bunnies! Right now, I have three wonderful dogs (two energetic huskies and a lovable golden retriever) and two cats (a playful ragdoll and a curious tabby). So, trust me when I say I understand how important it is to know your pets are being loved and well cared for when you’re not around. I know each animal is unique, and I love getting to know their personalities—whether it’s a quick walk to get them moving, a drop-in visit for some playtime, or an overnight stay where they need extra attention. I work very part-time, which gives me the flexibility to be there for your pet when they need me. Plus, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—they’re my happy place, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. Whether you have a playful puppy that needs to burn off some energy or a laid-back senior dog who just wants some company, I’ve got the experience to make sure they’re getting exactly what they need. I’m here to make your life easier and ensure your pets are well taken care of—like they’re part of my own family! :) I work part time so I can be almost full availability besides a few 4 hour shifts a week, besides that I can be with the animals full time! I will do whatever means necessary to ensure your animals safety! Whatever works with you will work with me. I’m very flexible and easy to work with !

“Tristi and her family took wonderful care of our boy Murphy while we were away at our daughter’s wedding. Knowing that he was being loved as if he was one of theirs allowed us to breathe easier and enjoy the special day. We will definitely reach out to them again if ever we need someone to watch our Murph!”
“We loved Jen and Anthony! They were very flexible for the meet and greet, and I appreciate the constant communication leading up to and throughout the stay. Bear seemed to really enjoy herself and almost didn't want to leave, which rarely happens as she is an old grumpy gal at times. I love that they had dog-reactive experience from their previous pet, and it showed in how understanding they were to all the challenges of taking Bear out in public. We will absolutely return :)”

“Marley had another great stay with Tonya and Eric. Tonya sent lots of pictures and kept me updated. He definitely feels like part of the family! Will definitely book with her again - Highly recommend.”

We had total peace of mind while we were away, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jena again. Highly recommend!”
“My regular sitter had to back out at the last minute and I was stressing out, but I'm very grateful to Marc and Rachael for accepting my 3 fur kids at the last minute. They sent me updates and pictures everyday, and I could tell that my dogs were very well cared for. Their house was a great environment for my doggies, and they did a great job with dogsitting them for a whole week. Highly recommended!”
