“Megan and her family were great! She has an excellent house for dog sitting with a great fenced backyard for roaming and exercise. She provided regular photos and videos which was very nice because it was hard to be away from our pup over the holidays. Her kids played with our dog and were very affectionate towards her and she seemed to miss all the attention they provided. Megan's own dog Theodore provided the "adult dog" calmness our hyper pup needed. Megan was very responsive and accommodating and we look forward to trusting our dog with her and her family again in the future. I would highly recommend Megan!”
“Paula is Wonderful! She took in our sweet old Gigi on short notice, she is a true dog lover and Gigi took to her immediately. Paula sent us numerous updates and pictures throughout Gigi's stay. She gave her affection, attention and a special spot on the couch, she even gave her a bath. I can't say enough great things about how well she cared for our pup and how much I would recommend her to take excellent care of your puppo.”
“Sara was wonderful! Gave us updates throughout our vacation to let us know how our baby was doing. She did a great job and will definitely use her again! Thankyou so much!”
“Shaela was great with our two shepherds! We had to leave town last minute and she was wonderful to work with and sent photos and updates often. Would definitely recommend!”
“Courtney provided great care! I knew I was leaving my dog in good hands and sure enough, he had a great time! Highly recommend for trustworthy care from a great family.”
“Don took really good care of my dog Apollo. Apollo had plenty space to run around and get his energy out. Don has really good communication and was very professional. Highly recommended and Apollo will be back again!”
“Dolores was fantastic with our dog! We got regular photos and videos to see how he was adjusting. We also got to see different walks and play times he had with other dogs. She was kind enough to leave our dog a gift upon leaving! Will definitely book again!”
“Eileen and Michael are the best. We had never left our little Winston with anyone and they took such great care of him. Like he was their own puppy. They were wonderful and amazing..”
“Terry and Robert could not have given us more security, knowing that our dog was well taken care of. We are definitely definitely calling them the next time Jojo needs a babysitter!!!”
“Judy is so wonderful and loving. I can not say enough things about how well she cares for my dog. It's obvious she loves animals and they love her. My dog gets excited when I pull into her driveway, she runs to the front door and is so happy to see Judy again. The communication and the care is outstanding. Highly recommend.”
“Started with a welcoming meat and greet with Michelle and her family. My dogs were surprisingly shy. Their family has rescue experience and are patient and loving and work great with the dogs. During our time away we got photos and updates which were great. One of my dogs had a hurt foot prior to me dropping her off. I had no idea what happened. Michelle and family pampered her and treated her foot with a creme and bandage. Very appreciative for the extra attention. I recommend her and her family for other families and certainly would use her again with my dogs”
“As a military family, we have had many dog sitters and Trish is one of the very best. Snooze was so very loved throughout her stay. Trish sent frequent updates and was genuinely sad to see her go. She now has a home away from home. Highly recommend!”
“MJ and Devin are amazing! They sent me photo updates without me even asking and treated my dogs like family. My pups had a blast playing with their dogs. I’d recommend them to anyone.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our two boys received from Ashlie and Shiloh! They were treated like family from the moment we left. They got daily walks, tons of love and attention, and even fun enrichment activities like puppy puzzles and water play. It was clear they were happy, engaged, and well cared for the entire time. We loved getting updates and seeing how much fun they were having. We will absolutely be booking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!”
“Once again, Jennifer did her usual great job in taking care of our little girl. It is great to be on vacation and know that our dog is in such caring hands. Thank you Jennifer.”
“Such a lovely sitter!! Sam made himself right at home and we received photos throughout his stay which was nice to know that he was enjoying his night and cuddled up in bed. Iolanta has such a sweet dobie and Sam came home and napped for hours. It was a short notice booking and Iolanta was wonderful and set up a video call to meet Sam and I. Would definitely book again and highly recommend!!”

About: I graduated from PIMA Medical Institute with high honors as a Veterinary Assistant and have experience working in veterinary clinics, boarding facilities, and animal rescues. This background allows me to recognize changes in behavior, appetite, and overall well-being that others may miss. I understand that every cat is unique, and I take the time to earn their trust while providing personalized care. Whether your cat is playful, shy, senior, or has special needs, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and stress-free while you're away. I also provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is in caring and experienced hands.
“Matthew was great with our three cats- tons of pics, litter boxes were scooped, and any messes cleaned up. He was super communicative as well. Definitely will see if he’s available for future visits!”
“Riley did a great job with caring for my senior cat! She is communicative and gave plenty of love to my kitty which definitely kept my old gal less stressed while I was out of town.”
About: I am a pet parent of an 8 year old Boston Terrier, a re-homed Chihuahua, a 3 years old kitty and a new kitten. Previously I raised three other Boston Terriers from puppyhood until each of their passing and a cat with FIV. I am experienced with puppies & kittens, adult dogs & cats, and senior pets as well as pets with illnesses. I have had kitty training as well as dog handling training through the Denver Dumb Friends League. I believe pets are family members and are to be treated with love and respect. Wheather your pet is at my house or I am at yours, you'll never have to worry about their well-being and will always know your pet is safe. This is my promise to you!
About: My family and I use to foster puppies all the time when I was little. We also always had our family husky lab dog. I now have my own Husky who will be carried for at home while I care for yours. have been in the dog sitting business for so long with just friends and neighbors. But I ended up getting this one gig where the lady herself boarded dogs and no joke she had at least 6 dogs one time when she asked me to stay overnight. All had different food and some medication. There were 2 chichas downstairs together. and the other 4 were left lose to sleep with me. I'm looking for jobs now, so I'm pretty open on schedule. So please feel free reach out with the time you want for your animals. I live in a house with 2 other dogs for my Husky to play with. Which I will leave my dog there when im out looking after others, as she has a loving little tribe at home with my roomates and her dog friends. I'm use to my husky needing run alot and having alot of energy so nothing is new for me in that department of dogs. If needed to live in with the dog, then I will fully move in for that time frame so the dog isn't lonely. I love play tug of war and ball with dogs and some cats even have played fetch for me. I love getting cuddles from little furry pets and giving them the love and attention they deserve.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, including senior pets who need extra patience and routine. I’m dependable, detail oriented, and always follow care instructions closely to ensure each pet feels safe, comfortable and loved. I speak Spanish/Hablo espańol I’m currently looking to make pet caring my only job, I love dogs and it fits my life perfectly. I’m looking forward to meeting all your beautiful dogs. I will make sure to follow all instructions, if they need to be crated or let out I will always make sure they are safe and secured at all times.
About: To this day any Sarah McLachlan song makes me cry thinking of the ASPCA commercials. I have had pets since before I could walk and not a day goes by that I don't pour all of my love out onto my own pup. Let me help you with yours when you need it! Being a single dog mom I know how hard it is to find "someone" when you just have to work late, or cant get home at lunch or really want to go on that group vacation but can't bring your fur baby. I currently work in finance but long to spend my days surrounded by animals. I am available for afternoon walks or hikes. Weekends are wide open for hotel pet sitting, overnights at your home, walks, hikes, quality time visits for your cat on vacation, etc. I can make my work schedule adjust if needed as well. Currently, I cannot board in my home as my fur baby is older now and not fond of newcomers. I am happy to help at yours (home or hotel stay). I am happy to take my shoes off when I enter, leave a place cleaner than I entered, and treat everything with the utmost respect.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and would love the opportunity to watch yours! I’d love to take your fur babies on daily walks or watch them when you’re away. I have had the pleasure of working with dogs and cats for the past five years and would love to have the opportunity to watch yours! I will take care of your fur babies as if they were my own! I know how stressful it can be to leave your best friends at home while you are away, but I can help relieve your worries and help you have a stress free vacation. My goal is to build a relationship with not only your pets but with you as well. Leaving you and your pet satisfied at the end of the day. I have a work from home job and am at home all the time. I am able to care for your pets at all hours of the day so you won’t have to worry about them being alone while you are away. I have a fully fenced yard with a lot of room to run around and play fetch! Since I work from home, I am able to let out your fur baby anytime they need and ensure that they are safe at all times.

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“Michelle is amazing! She welcomed us enthusiastically with very little notice ( the night before needing care when we were in a bind). Michelle arranged a met n greet right away, and although our pup was shy with Michelle at first, our pup came away from doggy daycare with new forever friends! Michelle made our pup feel like she was a well-loved little queen! If Michelle is willing to work with us in the future, we plan to have her caring for our pets regularly. I told Michelle that she is a gem! And she is just that - a rare gem and a kind soul! Michelle cares for her clients pets as if they are her own. Highly recommend Michelle!”
“Truffles had such a lovely time with Sherrie & family. They took such great care of him, giving lots of love and play and activities for him to do. He has lots of great memories, and I definitely recommend Sherrie and will rebook.”
About: Desde mi niñez he compartido mi vida con animales, lo que me ha dado una comprensión intuitiva de sus necesidades y un profundo respeto por su bienestar. Para mí, cuidar a tu mascota no es un trabajo, es una extensión natural de mi propia vida con compañeros peludos. Ofrezco una atención compasiva y adaptada a la edad de tu peludito. Ya sean paseos lentos o la energía de tu adolescente cochorro. Debido a que mi rutina es flexible y estoy en casa, puedo ofrecer una supervisión continua. Esto significa una respuesta inmediata a cualquier necesidad, ya sea un paseo inesperado, un juego, o simplemente estar ahí para aliviar la ansiedad por separación. Adaptabilidad Total: Puedo integrar perfectamente las necesidades específicas de tu mascota (horarios de comida estrictos, paseos frecuentes, sesiones de entrenamiento cortas) en mi día sin que se conviertan en una interrupción, sino en la estructura normal de mi tiempo en casa. En resumen, mi rutina diaria gira en torno a asegurar que las mascotas a mi cargo reciban atención, estructura y compañía constante, porque siempre estoy aquí." Mi casa es espaciosa, ofreciendo un excelente ambiente interior. Además, cuento con un pequeño patio para salidas rápidas y supervisadas. Lo mejor es que estamos rodeados de lugares muy lindos para pasear, por lo que aseguramos variedad y estimulación física diaria.
About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with them, I’ve always had my own, and honestly, I can’t imagine a house without one. I started helping out neighbors and family with their pets when I was 10, and I’ve been the "go-to" dog sitter for my friends ever since. I’ve handled just about every personality type there is. I treat every dog I watch like they’re part of my own family. I’m 62 years old and work from home so I’m available most days, so I’ll have plenty of time to hang out and play with your pups! Because of my flexible schedule your pet can always talk me into cuddling instead of working. Big bonus is I live in Meridian Ranch. We have a fenced yard and a doggie door to ensure your pet stays safe at all times. We also allow pets on our furniture as well as in the beds….just sayin…..we have two grandchildren who adore dogs and are excited about having them here when they visit. We have had some pets who have peed in the house despite being house broken. If needed we do put belly bands/&or diapers on your pet if they use our carpet/and or furniture instead of outside. We only host one family at a time.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life, starting as a devoted cat mom and later becoming a dog mom as well. Growing up in a military family, I was often trusted to care for the pets of other military families while they were away. That early responsibility taught me not only the basics of pet care, but also how important it is to provide comfort, consistency, and love when their owners can’t be there. As a pet parent myself, I’ve experienced both the deep joy and the heartbreak that comes with loving our fur babies. I’ve watched my own pets grow, thrive, and eventually say goodbye—experiences that have given me a deep understanding of the trust you place in someone when you leave your pet in their care. I’ve even supported one of my own through a battle with cancer, providing attentive, compassionate care every step of the way. I work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive for most of the day. Your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches—they’ll have plenty of supervision, interaction, and comfort throughout their stay. I also have a welcoming home with a fully fenced yard and two young children (ages 4 and 16 months) who are gentle, loving, and already learning how to respectfully interact with animals. Together, we create a warm, family-oriented environment where pets can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Because of these experiences, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, attentiveness, and genuine affection. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, routine care, or a little extra support, you can feel confident knowing they are in loving, capable hands while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and am able to be present throughout the day. I’m already used to a structured schedule that includes feeding, playtime, outdoor time in our fenced yard, and of course plenty of cuddles and attention. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to provide consistent supervision and companionship, making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and included in the daily rhythm of our home. I build my day around their needs—whether that’s regular potty breaks, exercise, play sessions, or simply relaxing close by. On a weekly basis, pet care is a normal and joyful part of our household. With two young children and our own pets, creating a loving, pet-friendly environment is already part of our lifestyle. Adding another pet into that routine feels seamless, and I make sure each one gets individualized attention, care, and comfort while they’re with us. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. I stick closely to their normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and rest to help them feel comfortable and secure. Pets have access to a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, along with plenty of indoor space for play, relaxation, and cuddles. I also make sure they receive lots of individual attention so they feel right at home. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and low-stress experience where your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and happy until you return.
“Our dog loves going to visit Jennifer and Bella. Jennifer provides a safe and fun environment for our dog to spend time, and Bella is very sweet and patient with all the tiny dog shenanigans.”
“Dolores was truly so kind and welcoming to our baby boy Pine. It was our first time having a sitter and as all parents we worried quite a bit. Dolores kept us updated very frequently with pictures and messages. Pine had a great time with her and her family. We are looking forward to Pine’s next day out!”
“Tony and family are the perfect pet sitters. They have a small dog that quickly warms up to your pet, small children who love to play with dogs, large fenced in back yard with grass, allow your dog on their furniture, and I could go on and on. We'll continue utilizing this family for all our dog sitting needs!”
About: I've been caring for animals since I was 8 years old. My family had rabbits, horses, dogs, cats, and various other caged creatures. I have recently have the joy of a new puppy in my life that I am in the process of training to provide emotional therapy to children and adults. I am a disabled veteran entrepreneur that provides me with the opportunity to be available 7 days a week. Since getting my puppy my life revolves around pet care. I have a puppy and my roommates have her brother and a collie. All three love having friends over to play with. lf I'm coming to your house I can bring my pup for socialization or not it's totally up to you. Either way they are going to get great care and attention.
About: I have worked with animals my whole life. I spent 3 years at a ranch in California learning about animal care for all kinds of animals and I loved every part of that!

I have a fenced in yard, my dogs get walked daily, and I am able to feed, crate and play with them. They are loved at all times!

“She's a pro,! I have a dominate dog and Amber has the experience and confidence to help us settle in right from the first impression. Her scheduling and communication is thorough and makes me feel lucky when I have a chance to give her money. On the other hand, Ruca gets so excited pulling up to Amber's house I get kind of jealous! ☺️”
“Alisha, Luis & their family were awesome! They treated our Lulu like she’s their own. I cant thank them enough! We enjoyed our stay in Colorado knowing the Lulu was safe in their home. If i could give them 6stars i would!”
“Carrie and her husband did such a great job with our dogs. They were both exhausted and very content when I picked them up and provided great photos of their day together.”
“Michael is great, our dog Walter enjoyed his care and felt comfortable in his home. Provided him with attention, walks, and kept us updated with photos. Michael was gracious with our tardiness on pick-up time having dealt with traffic, we are so grateful. Thank you Michael, would definitely utilize services again.”
About: I've had cats all my life and currently have a 12-year-old cat and a 2-year-old pup! I was a trusted house sitter after high school with 2 loyal clients and have watched over my friends' or family's pets when available, and am now getting back into it to make some extra money. I work best with cats and small dogs and would love to spoil your babies as much as I spoil mine! I am not working at the moment, so I am available 24/7 for your babies. Walks, potty breaks, and meal times can be offered at any time! I have a fenced-in backyard, I live 2 blocks from a trailhead and have a crate and play pen. Our mini Aussie was crate-trained until she turned 2 years old, so happy to offer our crate if needed.

About: I am a certified veterinary assistant and looking to pet sit during the summer and my free time. I have completed over 135 hours in a veterinary assistant role in a clinic. I have always sat pets for several family friends whenever they left town, and I always enjoyed it. I am so excited to expand my sitting experience with those around me. I love being around animals and getting the chance to help them in anyway I can. I feel this is the best job for an animal lover like me. Im available for pretty much anything through the week, and always flexible. As long as you communicate with me and we can figure things out then we are all set. I do have a few travels coming up later in the summer but that’s why I feel being able to pet sit fits in with my schedule. I can do everything from watching them overnight in your home to just walking and feeding or playing with them during the day. Whatever you need me to do with your pets I am willing to do for you.
“Michelle was great and really took great care of our pups walking them daily. She sent pictures and updated me every day on how their walks went and if they didn’t seem like themselves. I will absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future.”

Him and I love to go on walks/hikes and we are looking for new doggies to tag along with us on our walks on my days off! I work full-time as a nurse at the children’s hospital here so I work 3 days a week and spend my free time on my days off playing with my dog and taking him on walks/hikes. I would love to incorporate other doggies into our walks and daily routines outside of my normal nursing job! I have a front and back yard where I take my own dog out to go potty. I also have a back deck where your dog will enjoy spending time outside with my dog when we are home. I live in a house with lots of space for your dog to explore, play, and roam!
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages. I have three dogs of my own—two that are a year old or younger and one senior dog—so I’m comfortable meeting the different needs that come with each stage of life. From energetic puppies who need patience, training reinforcement, and lots of exercise to senior dogs who require a gentler pace and extra attention, I understand how to provide the right care. I walk my dogs every morning, so regular exercise and maintaining a consistent routine are already a part of my daily life. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owner is away. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own, while keeping you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m currently a college student and attend classes three days a week, which leaves me available in the afternoons. On my days off, I enjoy taking my three dogs to the park or on long walks to keep them active, happy, and mentally stimulated. Caring for my own dogs every day has made pet care a regular part of my lifestyle. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, feeding, companionship, or extra attention, I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care that fits their routine and helps them feel comfortable while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is happy and well cared for. If I’m caring for a pet in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with regular potty breaks, daily walks, playtime, fresh water, and lots of affection. Since I have three friendly dogs of my own, I always make sure introductions are done carefully and that every pet feels comfortable and secure. My goal is to give pets a stress-free experience where they feel safe, loved, and right at home.
About: My name is Sonia! I have been dog sitting and walking since 2015 and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I truly love spending time with dogs and enjoy everything from leisurely neighborhood walks to long, adventurous hikes and energetic play sessions. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I have two dogs of my own: Blossom, my sweet long-haired miniature Dachshund, and Cactus, my playful black Goldendoodle. They have given me plenty of hands-on experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. I am comfortable caring for both high- and low-energy dogs and am happy to tailor walks and activities to each dog’s individual needs. Whether your pup prefers a short stroll, a long walk, a hike, or simply some playtime and companionship, I’m happy to accommodate them. I am also comfortable administering medications and following specific care instructions, feeding schedules, exercise routines, and other special requests. My goal is always to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! I’m available all day, every day for the next six weeks! Beginning in late September, I’ll be available weekdays after 2:00 PM and all day on weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide plenty of flexibility for your pet’s needs. When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs or routines your pet has. I’m happy to give your pets plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and enrichment while also respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home with your pets, so I’ll treat both your home and your animals with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Matthew was a complete sweetheart. He did great with Oliver and left very good detailed notes for me after each walk. My dog gets social anxiety around new people, especially when im out of town. So im glad he had a good time with Matthew.”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and would love the opportunity to watch yours! I’d love to take your fur babies on daily walks or watch them when you’re away. I have had the pleasure of working with dogs and cats for the past five years and would love to have the opportunity to watch yours! I will take care of your fur babies as if they were my own! I know how stressful it can be to leave your best friends at home while you are away, but I can help relieve your worries and help you have a stress free vacation. My goal is to build a relationship with not only your pets but with you as well. Leaving you and your pet satisfied at the end of the day. I have a work from home job and am at home all the time. I am able to care for your pets at all hours of the day so you won’t have to worry about them being alone while you are away. I have a fully fenced yard with a lot of room to run around and play fetch! Since I work from home, I am able to let out your fur baby anytime they need and ensure that they are safe at all times.
About: I've taken care of animals since I can remember. Having experience working in a Veterinarian Office, I'm very adaptable to any animal's needs. Neighbors, friends and family all rely on my services. I'm currently enrolled into school full time. That being said I'm available at any time for your pet care needs! I'm open throughout the week and weekends. In my clients home I like to treat their pets like they're my own. I like to follow the same schedule they're usually on. If you only like them being alone a certain amount of hours throughout the day, I can accommodate to your schedule.
About: Animal lover of all types and sizes. Flexible schedule for the care of your dogs, cats, and exotics. Veterinary technician experience of 2+ years with formal education. Extensive experience with bottle feeding and the attentive care of very young kittens. I have a very flexible work schedule, and I update my pet care hours weekly. I am normally available ANY day after 5:30 as well. Text me for special requests! I have fenced yard and spare room which is kept separate from my own pets. I also live in very close proximity to several paved walking trails, and would love to cater to wooded, unpaved trail environments as well. In your home, or on walks, i will utilize my veterinary experience to read your pet's emotional and physical state as well as your careful instructions to provide the utmost care.
About: My family and I use to foster puppies all the time when I was little. We also always had our family husky lab dog. I now have my own Husky who will be carried for at home while I care for yours. have been in the dog sitting business for so long with just friends and neighbors. But I ended up getting this one gig where the lady herself boarded dogs and no joke she had at least 6 dogs one time when she asked me to stay overnight. All had different food and some medication. There were 2 chichas downstairs together. and the other 4 were left lose to sleep with me. I'm looking for jobs now, so I'm pretty open on schedule. So please feel free reach out with the time you want for your animals. I live in a house with 2 other dogs for my Husky to play with. Which I will leave my dog there when im out looking after others, as she has a loving little tribe at home with my roomates and her dog friends. I'm use to my husky needing run alot and having alot of energy so nothing is new for me in that department of dogs. If needed to live in with the dog, then I will fully move in for that time frame so the dog isn't lonely. I love play tug of war and ball with dogs and some cats even have played fetch for me. I love getting cuddles from little furry pets and giving them the love and attention they deserve.
About: To this day any Sarah McLachlan song makes me cry thinking of the ASPCA commercials. I have had pets since before I could walk and not a day goes by that I don't pour all of my love out onto my own pup. Let me help you with yours when you need it! Being a single dog mom I know how hard it is to find "someone" when you just have to work late, or cant get home at lunch or really want to go on that group vacation but can't bring your fur baby. I currently work in finance but long to spend my days surrounded by animals. I am available for afternoon walks or hikes. Weekends are wide open for hotel pet sitting, overnights at your home, walks, hikes, quality time visits for your cat on vacation, etc. I can make my work schedule adjust if needed as well. Currently, I cannot board in my home as my fur baby is older now and not fond of newcomers. I am happy to help at yours (home or hotel stay). I am happy to take my shoes off when I enter, leave a place cleaner than I entered, and treat everything with the utmost respect.

“Megan and her family were great! She has an excellent house for dog sitting with a great fenced backyard for roaming and exercise. She provided regular photos and videos which was very nice because it was hard to be away from our pup over the holidays. Her kids played with our dog and were very affectionate towards her and she seemed to miss all the attention they provided. Megan's own dog Theodore provided the "adult dog" calmness our hyper pup needed. Megan was very responsive and accommodating and we look forward to trusting our dog with her and her family again in the future. I would highly recommend Megan!”
“Paula is Wonderful! She took in our sweet old Gigi on short notice, she is a true dog lover and Gigi took to her immediately. Paula sent us numerous updates and pictures throughout Gigi's stay. She gave her affection, attention and a special spot on the couch, she even gave her a bath. I can't say enough great things about how well she cared for our pup and how much I would recommend her to take excellent care of your puppo.”

“Judy is so wonderful and loving. I can not say enough things about how well she cares for my dog. It's obvious she loves animals and they love her. My dog gets excited when I pull into her driveway, she runs to the front door and is so happy to see Judy again. The communication and the care is outstanding. Highly recommend.”
“Started with a welcoming meat and greet with Michelle and her family. My dogs were surprisingly shy. Their family has rescue experience and are patient and loving and work great with the dogs. During our time away we got photos and updates which were great. One of my dogs had a hurt foot prior to me dropping her off. I had no idea what happened. Michelle and family pampered her and treated her foot with a creme and bandage. Very appreciative for the extra attention. I recommend her and her family for other families and certainly would use her again with my dogs”
“MJ and Devin are amazing! They sent me photo updates without me even asking and treated my dogs like family. My pups had a blast playing with their dogs. I’d recommend them to anyone.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our two boys received from Ashlie and Shiloh! They were treated like family from the moment we left. They got daily walks, tons of love and attention, and even fun enrichment activities like puppy puzzles and water play. It was clear they were happy, engaged, and well cared for the entire time. We loved getting updates and seeing how much fun they were having. We will absolutely be booking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!”

“Such a lovely sitter!! Sam made himself right at home and we received photos throughout his stay which was nice to know that he was enjoying his night and cuddled up in bed. Iolanta has such a sweet dobie and Sam came home and napped for hours. It was a short notice booking and Iolanta was wonderful and set up a video call to meet Sam and I. Would definitely book again and highly recommend!!”

“Estelle did such a great job making Kolbe feel at home and caring for him. Even managing several other dogs overlapping their stay, all things went well, and I couldn't be happier. Estelle was flexible when our flights were delayed and allowed us to add another night to Kolbe's stay. We will be using Estelle again! Thank you Estelle. I was confident Kolbe was in good hands.”
