“Amber was so amazing with my two dogs, including my young crazy puppy! She sent lots of updates and pictures, which was very comforting while on our trip and was so accommodating for both my doggies. I was very happy knowing they were being loved and spoiled just like the would at home ❤️”
“Samantha and her family treat my pups so well they don’t even want to come home! Super appreciate her knowledge, communication, dog bathing, dog transport, and dog training skills. Grateful to have someone I trust to care for my dogs as well as I do!”
“There are not enough thank yous for Virginia. Our senior golden hurt her knee and Virginia took over and rendered care like one of her own. She was so helpful and communicative with me. No doubt in my mind we’ll contact her again when we revisit Durango.”
“Truman came through for us last minute while on vacation, which we are so thankful for. He is respectful, well-mannered and communicates efficiently. Would 100% recommend to anyone needing care for their pups.”
About: I strive to provide the kind of care I’d want for my own pets—loving, attentive & dependable. I work from home as a special education teacher for an online school which gives me the time and flexibility to comfort and care for pets with all different kinds of needs. I am an animal lover to the core, the kind of person who always thinks of my pets needs/comfort first, sacrificing my own wants to ensure they have what they need. We do have a friendly 4 year old dog and an indifferent 17 year old cat of our own, so please keep that in mind when booking. Our home is in the country with a fully fenced/chain link yard. The environment is calm and quiet throughout the day. I take my own dog on at least 2 walks per day, and like to go to the nearby pond when we have extra time. Weekend adventures usually include hikes, playing in the snow (when available), long walks/adventures, etc. Potty breaks are provided throughout the day, at least every few hours and on demand. Giving love (pets, scratches, cuddles) is full time around here! I have had my own pets and sat for family and friends countless times over the years. I started using Rover for my dog last year and loved our experience, so I decided to provide my own services for those who might need it. I hope to build a clientele of returning customers based on my loving/caring nature and attentive home environment. I work from home, so love and attention are provided all day long. I take my own dog on several walks a day and try to squeeze in more activities on weekends. We have a fully fenced yard and 5 acres outside of that. Our home is pet safe/friendly as we have our own dog and cat. Your dog would have full time love and care!
“Fred came home so happy! Him and Jackson had a fantastic time hiking, snuggling, and hanging. Jackson was great to send us pictures and updates. He was also very accommodating with pick up and drop off times. We are grateful that Fred has a new trusted pal.”
“Chris is great! He has a big fenced yard and super friendly dogs, and my pup was good and tired on the way home, so he must have gotten a lot of exercise. I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with Chris and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for dog care or boarding near Leadville.”
“Thanks Tarah for Ranger’s visit. Sounds like he had a wonderful adventure filled visit. He was definitely tired but happy when we picked him up. We would love to have you watch him again!”
“What a wonderful sitter. She stayed true to her word on scheduling, taking care of my sweet dog, introducing her to other animals and family members in a way that kept her comfortable. Highly recommended and much appreciated for taking Sami on so many great walks. Thank you!”
“Our little 8 pound Cavapoo Rozy had an excellent stay with Jenny and Luna! There was lots of play time, hikes, fetching the ball, snuggling and naps. She did really well with Jenny’s dog Luna who is much bigger but knew how to play with little Rozy. The daily pictures, videos and communication was both fun to see and reassuring to know that Rozy was in good hands. We hope to use her again when we need a dog sitter!”
“The Dude is in such great hands with Will. He is happy when he arrives, and he is happy when we pick him up, and he looks happy (and relaxed) in all the update photos Will sends. Can't ask for a better sitter for The Dude when we travel.”
“Sarah went above and beyond taking care of our St. Bernard and our cat! Both animals were super happy when we got home and not worried or freaked out at all. Our St. Bernard is a rescue and sometimes can act weird when we get home. But she was happy as could be and wanted to stay at Sarah’s house! Sarah took extra care of our cat and visited with her multiple times during the short time we were out of town. We would love to use Sarah again!!”
“Heather did such an amazing job with our dog, Bruno! It was such a relief to know that he was having so much fun and being so well cared for while we were gone. We were afraid that he wouldn't want to come back home! She also sent the most amazing pics of him for us to enjoy! Thank you so much! Bruno can't wait to stay again!”
“Ansley was awesome! She was very communicative and sent adorable pictures and updates of Luna throughout her stay, and took Luna to do lots of fun activities. Her dog was also great with Luna! I felt like Luna was in great hands while I was traveling. I will definitely plan to book with Ansley again.”
“Courtney went above and beyond in caring for our dog, Tug. She sent pictures and videos every day. He had a minor eye problem that she communicated immediately to me. Then she drove to my house to get some meds I had for him to treat it. She also dropped him off at our house at the end of his stay. I highly recommend her. Tug got along great with her dog. He also got to snuggle with Courtney and Dax and sleep on the bed just like at home. I am very pleased with the care he recieved-really put my mind at ease as we were gone for over 2 weeks.”

About: I have experience taking care of my own cats and others since I was young. I am good with cats of all kinds and I find it incredibly important to respect their space and go at their pace. I've had great success with getting shy or aggressive cats to open up and become comfortable with me. I have never taken care of a hairless cat but I would love to meet one and learn the unique aspects of their care as well.
About: My first love was a cat named Eartha who belonged to our next door neighbor but spent much of their time at our house. Growing up, I knew every cat in the neighborhood and rode by bike to deliver treats to each one. Naturally, my first job as a young child was cat sitting. I have lived with cats my whole adult life. My older boys Mowgli & Squeaker are 11. I fostered kitten litters for years until I couldn’t part with my younger cats Edgar & Penelope, now 3. I’ve never met a cat I couldn’t win over and I know how to be respectful and patient with shy kitties. When caring for your cats, I’ll take all your instructions to heart and make sure each one gets quality time (if they want it) by playing, cuddling, or brushing them (or whatever they like best).
“Trista stayed with my young, sociable cat on short notice for 5 nights. She was communicative and responsive. Trista took care of my space and left it just as she found it -- including washing the sheets on the bed. I came home to a happy and well-cared for kitty. I wholeheartedly recommend Trista as a pet sitter. Thanks Trista!”
“We had to make a last minute booking and I’m so glad we found Mariah. She was great with our three kitties. She followed all our instructions and sent updates and pictures twice a day every day. We’d happily book her again.”
About: Hello fellow dog lovers! With over 20 years of experience owning and caring for dogs, I understand the deep bond between humans and their furry companions. Although I cannot host pets in my rental overnight, I’d love to take your dog for a walk or house sit where they feel most comfortable- your home! I work from home, which allows me the flexibility to provide care both during and outside of regular business hours. Whether it’s a midday walk, evening playtime or weekend adventure, I’m here to ensure your dog receives the attention, love and exercise they deserve. If you book me for pet sitting in your home, you can feel at ease knowing that I will respect your space and make it a goal of mine to leave your space as clean as you left it. Let’s connect and discuss how I can offer your dog the right care and attention to make you feel comfortable when you can’t be with them. I look forward to meeting you and your pups! I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule! I can provide pet services within or outside of regular business hours- let’s discuss your pets needs and I can likely fit them in to my schedule, no problem! I love clients who offer detailed lists of their pets needs and daily routines! I used to do the same with my dog and know that following something like this gives everyone involved (dogs included!) ease of mind.
About: As an avid outdoor enthusiast and dog lover you can be sure your dog is getting the attention and exercise they need! I try to take the dogs out 2 times a day for walks and every couple of hours for potty breaks. I do have a wonderful pup-o of my own, Luna so your doggo has some company. Is your dog more of a runner? If so I’ll pop on my mountain bike and let them do some trail running... more of a lazy doggo? How about some ice cream? Just kidding... no ice cream! Definitely a happy household and a fun loving environment for everyone! If you have any questions, concerns or special needs, feel free to reach out. Thanks and I look forward to meeting with you and your pup!
About: hi my name is Chloe! My family has 4 dogs who I love to take care of. They are basically my babies. I would love to take care of your pets! I’m super reliable and pretty good about working around times for things needed to be done. I have a big heart for animals and I would love to help you out as well. My schedule is pretty light. I work Monday-Wednesday, and Friday from 3-7:30. Sometimes those hours fluctuate. But other than that I’m pretty available to be there morning, all during the day, and back for dinner time! If I were at my home I would play outside and stay with them till we are ready to come in. I’ll play fetch, tug, go on walks, or car rides! At others houses I would do the same, unless I am told otherwise.

“Lori is awesome! We were in town for a day trip and needed somewhere for our dogs. We had no worries with Lori, and the puppies came home exhausted. Lori was very flexible and loved our puppies like her own. Will definitely use again if in the area!”
“Chris was very flexible in accommodating our Goldendoodle while we went rafting. There was plenty of space for the dogs to play and he was very calm around them. Loved the pictures he sent and he was very conscientious about her food, needs, etc”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve owned, cared for, and worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities—from toy breeds to full-grown Mastiffs. My experience also includes working with cattle and ranch dogs, several hunting breeds, and spending time assisting handlers working with K-9 units. That experience has taught me how different every dog can be and how important it is to pay attention to their individual personality, energy level, boundaries, and routine. Whether your dog is a laid-back couch companion, an energetic working breed, a powerful large dog, or somewhere in between, I’m comfortable adapting my care to what they need. My goal is simple: give your dog safe, dependable care and treat them with the same patience and attention I’d want for my own. I work from home, so pups get plenty of attention, tailored walks, adventures, playtime, stimulation, and a large fenced yard for sunbathing. Trips to the off leach dog park when we are able. I follow each pet’s normal routine and needs, from feeding and walks to playtime, enrichment, and downtime. At home, pups enjoy supervision, a fenced yard, and plenty of attention.
“Kerrin was great and I highly recommend her. She was very flexible and responsive to Archie's needs and sent me pictures. Archie can be barky at a new place at first and Kerrin was very understanding. I could tell Archie had a great time as he just slept when we got home. Thanks, Kerrin”
“Jackson made sure Pepper had a fun day full of hiking, swimming and doing the activities she loves. We appreciate the care he gave Pepper while watching her for the day & would definitely use him again.”
About: I’ve been a pet owner for nearly 30 years — from growing up with our family’s Border Collies and house cats, to raising my own Jack Russells throughout adulthood, to caring for two rescue kittens in college. I’m equally comfortable with dogs and cats of all personalities and needs. What sets me apart is the range of care I’ve provided. I’ve raised a Jack Russell puppy from the wild, zoomie-filled stage into a well-behaved, confident adult, so I’m patient, consistent, and great with puppies who need structure and gentle training. I’ve also cared for a 17-year-old senior dog during his end-of-life stage, which taught me how to support pets who need slower routines, medication, and close, intuitive attention. I fostered an entire litter of puppies and their mom from an overcrowded shelter, so I’m familiar with round-the-clock care, monitoring, and meeting shy or sensitive animals where they are. Between that and my own lifelong pet experience, I’ve worked with animals at every life stage and energy level. I’m single with plenty of free time, which means your pets get steady attention, affection, and a calm, reliable presence while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because of the flexibility I have in my career. I’m a real estate agent with a team beneath me, which means I create my own schedule and have other agents I can rely on if I’m ever occupied. That gives me plenty of space in my days for walks, check-ins, playtime, and consistent attention. I’ve actually considered getting another dog over the last couple of years, but I haven’t felt ready for the full-time commitment again. A friend suggested I join Rover as a way to support other pet owners in the community while still getting to pour my love, energy, and care into animals — and it’s the perfect fit. Your pets get someone who’s genuinely excited to spend time with them and has the availability to be fully present. I’m very affectionate and hands-on with the pets I care for — they get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I genuinely love walking, so having a dog join me on my daily walks is the best part of my routine. Whether it’s a neighborhood stroll, a peaceful loop along the River Trail, or a fun outing to the Smelter dog park, I make sure pets get the activity and stimulation they need. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely so everything feels familiar and comforting. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, potty breaks, behavior changes, and whatever little rituals make each pet feel at ease. My goal is always to create a safe, loving, and engaging experience — whether they’re with me for a few hours or a few days.
“Allena took excellent care of our teacup poodle! She sent pictures and provided a loving environment for our dog Misty. Her fur babies Teddy and Lalo were very friendly and welcoming to our little 3 lb dog!”
“My 2 dogs took to Carole the minute we stepped in the door. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with her for the day. They were very well cared for. Communication was very good while scheduling the visit and the day of services. I highly recommend Carole!”
About: Since childhood, I’ve always felt most at home among nonhuman animals, and I’ll never understand humans who treat animals as less deserving of love, respect, and care. My animals are my family, and I promise to care for your animals as if they were my own. I have experience with cats and dogs of all temperaments. One of my dogs has a history of reactivity and aggression towards other dogs. I feel very comfortable managing this type of behavior using treats, ecollar, muzzle, prevention techniques, and communication with other dog-owners. I’m also experienced managing groups of dogs off leash and will work with your dog to reinforce good recall and safety behaviors (such as stopping at intersections, waiting before they go out of sight, sitting for cars, passing other dogs, etc.). I am a writer who works from home. I am available for daycare, afternoon walks & drop-ins, and select boarding for dogs who get along well with my two dogs and are good with cats. If your dog is trained off-leash, has solid recall, and is either good with other dogs or muzzle trained, I offer pack hikes and walks. I have a large fenced yard with a dog door that goes into the main living areas. My two dogs & 4 cats are onsite. Your dog must be good with cats and other dogs or be muzzle-trained to attend daycare or boarding at my home. Your dogs will get a walk or adventure during daycare (unless you prefer them not to, in which case they must be able to stay home alone for 1-2 hours either kenneled or loose without becoming destructive). To attend off-leash pack walks/hikes, your dogs must demonstrate reliable recall even when triggers are present (such as an other dogs, wildlife, cats, cars, etc.). Your dog must also have no history of aggression towards other dogs or people OR be muzzle-trained.
“Katelyn was very kind to accept our last minute request to daycare Inky. She gave us feedback and sent photos and Inky had a good day. We look forward to using her services again next time we are in town!”
“Bonita was very sweet to care for my dog at the last minute while we were traveling in the area. The fenced yard and house looked great. Her little dog was super friendly with my 70lbs pit-bull. They got along well. We picked up earlier than expected and Bonita was flexible. My dog who has separation anxiety was safe with Bonita.”
“Tucker was so happy to be greeted by Samantha as we entered her courtyard area! She made him feel right at home, took him for walks! Sent pictures of him ! She took great care of him! Train ran late and she Samantha was so accommodating! Thanks for taking such good care of him!”
“We were so happy to have found Jenny. My dog Freya and her pup Luna had a blast playing, napping and hanging out at Jenny's place. Jenny was responsive, communicative, and accommodating. Freya can't wait for her next doggie daycare or overnight! We highly recommend Jenny (and Luna) :-)”
About: Whether you’re hitting the trails, skiing at Wolf Creek, soaking in the hot springs, rafting the river, or heading out for a full day of exploring, you shouldn’t have to spend your adventure worrying about the pets waiting back at your cabin, Airbnb, or home. I offer reliable, attentive pet check-ins and boarding throughout the Pagosa Springs area. I’ll make sure your pets get the care, exercise, affection, and attention they need while you’re away — including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications as needed, and plenty of belly rubs. What sets me apart is that I’m a registered flight nurse and Army officer, so being dependable, responsible, and calm under pressure is quite literally part of who I am. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions, administering medications, and caring for pets who may need a little extra attention. And most importantly, I genuinely love animals and will treat yours like I’d want someone to treat my own. Perfect for Pagosa Springs locals AND visitors who need someone trustworthy to pop in while they hike, ski, soak, explore or simply enjoy a long day out. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily incorporate pet care and drop-in visits into my week. I’m happy to work around each pet’s established routine rather than expecting them to adjust to mine. Whether that means an early-morning potty break, midday walk, dinner-time visit, medication on a specific schedule, or some extra playtime and companionship, I’ll do my best to keep things familiar and consistent. I especially enjoy helping Pagosa Springs locals and visitors who want to spend a full day hiking, skiing, soaking, or exploring without worrying about their pets back at home. I’m dependable, organized, and comfortable planning my day around the animals in my care — because when you trust me with your pet, they become a priority in my schedule. In my home, I provide a safe, welcoming environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I have a fenced yard where pets can safely enjoy outdoor time, and my very friendly dog loves making new friends and playing throughout the day. In clients’ homes, I can provide drop-in visits, walks, feeding, fresh water, medication, litter box care, playtime, and companionship while respecting their space and their pet’s normal routine.
About: I have been working with animals since I was a child! I grew up on a farm with horses and our trusty yellow Labradors, learning from an early age the true meaning of taking care of others. I love providing dogs the happiest experience - I find such joy when playing, running, skiing, or hiking with dogs and seeing the BIG smile on their faces! Any pups that stay with me, my husband, and our goofy dog, Miles, will have a fantastic time, as well as guaranteed adventure (as appropriate!). When your pup stays with us, he/she will never be left alone and will be treated as one of our own. Having fur-babies of our own, I understand the importance of knowing that your pup is well taken care of according to his/her needs. We hope to see you soon! I work full-time from home with a flexible schedule. Considering this, your pup will never be left alone and enjoy our company (and snuggles) 24/7. I have a flexible schedule and will update my calendar weekly as needed regarding my availability. Our home is located in Rafter J on three acres, ~10 minutes from downtown Durango. We have one dog named Miles, a seven-year-old Weimaraner who has a goober personality and LOVES to play with other dogs.
“Skye was so accommodating to our needs. She genuinely cares about the comfort and safety of her charges. I'm very thankful for her help with our 2 year old vizsla. I highly recommend her!”

“Lori is awesome! Very professional and LOVES dogs! I’m a busy doctor who needed someone to walk my dog during a few days of being on-call for long hours while my family was out of town. I decided to try Rover.com and was very reassured after meeting Lori that my pup was in good hands. She sent me a pic each day when she walked her and that was so relieving to me!! I highly recommend her and will definitely be requesting more stays with her in the future!”
“Mariah took my girl to one of our favorite walking spots around town. I appreciated that she asked for water and a bowl given the nights are still warm. Appreciate the mindfulness around appropriate times to get a pup out in the summer.”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life. I have always loved animals and my freinds, neighbors, and family always ask me to care for their furry loved ones! I’m currently working only a couple shifts a month at my other job, so I can be reliable and flexible with many different schedules to fit your needs! In my clients home I will be sure the pets have the food/water their owners desire, and I would love to play and run the energy out of your pets during the day while your at work!

“I was visiting Pagosa Springs and was in desperate need of last minute dog walking, as I was heading to Durango for the day with family. It’s apparent that Cat really loves animals and I appreciated the photos she sent letting my know my pups were in great hands. When the narrow gauge train we were riding broke down in Silverton leaving us stranded for a few hours, Cat swung by again for a second walk after she got off work . Talk about dedication! I highly recommend Cat for any of your pet walking, sitting needs and will gladly use her service again the next time visiting Pagosa Springs.”

About: Hi, I’m Lisa. I provide gentle, reliable pet care for cats and dogs, keeping their routines as normal as possible while you’re away. I’m certified in pet CPR and take care instructions seriously, with a strong focus on safety and consistency. My dog is 17 years young, so I especially enjoy working with pets who are older, shy, anxious, or used to a quiet home. I believe routines help pets feel secure, so I follow schedules closely, keep walks consistent, and watch for any behavioral changes. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I’m available seven days a week and organize my schedule around pets’ routines. I’m present for morning care, afternoon walks or check-ins, evening care, and overnight stays when booked. I do have two predictable personal commitments each day (late morning and early evening), and I plan pet care around those times so routines remain consistent. Walk times can be adjusted as needed, especially during hotter parts of the day. I treat clients’ homes with respect and care. I keep doors and gates secure, double-check leashes during walks, and never take risks with unfamiliar dogs. I’m happy to provide regular updates with notes and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.
About: I have a lot of experience with all types of dogs including big dogs. We take walks everyday down the road and back on leash and multiple walks around my fenced in property off leash. With lots of opportunity for yard time inside my 6-ft fenced in yard. We are located in a scenic and peaceful neighborhood in Aspen springs, approximately 6 mi west of Pagosa springs. Your dog will be able to run and play as much as it wants (supervised, of course) on my fenced in one and a half acre property. I was given my first doggie duties at the age of 5, and other than when I was in the military, dogs have always been a part of my life. I currently have 2 dogs, one is a german shepherd/catahoula mix at about 2 yrs. old (still an active and playful pup) and the other is a husky/lab mix at about 12 yrs. old. both have lots of experience with other dogs. I don't spend much time away from the property these days. I do however have a part-time job in town that will keep me away from the house for about 4 to 6 hours and it's no problem taking an extended break if dogs need attention. You can be assured that when I'm away your pups will be safe, secure and comfortable. With plenty of space to stretch out in my three bedroom home. I live on just over an acre, in a nice qiuet country setting. The property is completely fenced in and gated with lots of trees and bushes there's also an "inner" yard surrounded by a 6ft cedar fence coming off the back porch of the house.

“Amber was so amazing with my two dogs, including my young crazy puppy! She sent lots of updates and pictures, which was very comforting while on our trip and was so accommodating for both my doggies. I was very happy knowing they were being loved and spoiled just like the would at home ❤️”
“Samantha and her family treat my pups so well they don’t even want to come home! Super appreciate her knowledge, communication, dog bathing, dog transport, and dog training skills. Grateful to have someone I trust to care for my dogs as well as I do!”
“There are not enough thank yous for Virginia. Our senior golden hurt her knee and Virginia took over and rendered care like one of her own. She was so helpful and communicative with me. No doubt in my mind we’ll contact her again when we revisit Durango.”
“Truman came through for us last minute while on vacation, which we are so thankful for. He is respectful, well-mannered and communicates efficiently. Would 100% recommend to anyone needing care for their pups.”
About: I strive to provide the kind of care I’d want for my own pets—loving, attentive & dependable. I work from home as a special education teacher for an online school which gives me the time and flexibility to comfort and care for pets with all different kinds of needs. I am an animal lover to the core, the kind of person who always thinks of my pets needs/comfort first, sacrificing my own wants to ensure they have what they need. We do have a friendly 4 year old dog and an indifferent 17 year old cat of our own, so please keep that in mind when booking. Our home is in the country with a fully fenced/chain link yard. The environment is calm and quiet throughout the day. I take my own dog on at least 2 walks per day, and like to go to the nearby pond when we have extra time. Weekend adventures usually include hikes, playing in the snow (when available), long walks/adventures, etc. Potty breaks are provided throughout the day, at least every few hours and on demand. Giving love (pets, scratches, cuddles) is full time around here! I have had my own pets and sat for family and friends countless times over the years. I started using Rover for my dog last year and loved our experience, so I decided to provide my own services for those who might need it. I hope to build a clientele of returning customers based on my loving/caring nature and attentive home environment. I work from home, so love and attention are provided all day long. I take my own dog on several walks a day and try to squeeze in more activities on weekends. We have a fully fenced yard and 5 acres outside of that. Our home is pet safe/friendly as we have our own dog and cat. Your dog would have full time love and care!
“Fred came home so happy! Him and Jackson had a fantastic time hiking, snuggling, and hanging. Jackson was great to send us pictures and updates. He was also very accommodating with pick up and drop off times. We are grateful that Fred has a new trusted pal.”
“Chris is great! He has a big fenced yard and super friendly dogs, and my pup was good and tired on the way home, so he must have gotten a lot of exercise. I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with Chris and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for dog care or boarding near Leadville.”
“Thanks Tarah for Ranger’s visit. Sounds like he had a wonderful adventure filled visit. He was definitely tired but happy when we picked him up. We would love to have you watch him again!”
“What a wonderful sitter. She stayed true to her word on scheduling, taking care of my sweet dog, introducing her to other animals and family members in a way that kept her comfortable. Highly recommended and much appreciated for taking Sami on so many great walks. Thank you!”
“Our little 8 pound Cavapoo Rozy had an excellent stay with Jenny and Luna! There was lots of play time, hikes, fetching the ball, snuggling and naps. She did really well with Jenny’s dog Luna who is much bigger but knew how to play with little Rozy. The daily pictures, videos and communication was both fun to see and reassuring to know that Rozy was in good hands. We hope to use her again when we need a dog sitter!”
“The Dude is in such great hands with Will. He is happy when he arrives, and he is happy when we pick him up, and he looks happy (and relaxed) in all the update photos Will sends. Can't ask for a better sitter for The Dude when we travel.”
“Sarah went above and beyond taking care of our St. Bernard and our cat! Both animals were super happy when we got home and not worried or freaked out at all. Our St. Bernard is a rescue and sometimes can act weird when we get home. But she was happy as could be and wanted to stay at Sarah’s house! Sarah took extra care of our cat and visited with her multiple times during the short time we were out of town. We would love to use Sarah again!!”
“Heather did such an amazing job with our dog, Bruno! It was such a relief to know that he was having so much fun and being so well cared for while we were gone. We were afraid that he wouldn't want to come back home! She also sent the most amazing pics of him for us to enjoy! Thank you so much! Bruno can't wait to stay again!”
“Ansley was awesome! She was very communicative and sent adorable pictures and updates of Luna throughout her stay, and took Luna to do lots of fun activities. Her dog was also great with Luna! I felt like Luna was in great hands while I was traveling. I will definitely plan to book with Ansley again.”
“Courtney went above and beyond in caring for our dog, Tug. She sent pictures and videos every day. He had a minor eye problem that she communicated immediately to me. Then she drove to my house to get some meds I had for him to treat it. She also dropped him off at our house at the end of his stay. I highly recommend her. Tug got along great with her dog. He also got to snuggle with Courtney and Dax and sleep on the bed just like at home. I am very pleased with the care he recieved-really put my mind at ease as we were gone for over 2 weeks.”
