“A very good experience and great communiction between me and the host. Lots of photos shared and the hosts were very quick to respond. I got done with my trip early and they had no problem working with me to pick up my dog earlier than expected. I will be using them again when I am in the area. Thank you. Brent and Harvey.”
“Delane is fabulous. It was our puppies first time away from us and in another person's care for more than a day and they came back to us in great shape, no trauma, and well taken care. Thanks Delane.”
“Sydney willingly agreed to dog-sit our vizsla last-minute, even though she hadn't taken care of our dog before. We described our dog to her and it seemed like a good fit. Our dog was well taken care of, and enjoyed playing with the other dogs, and cuddling with Sydney. Sydney sent several photos over the stay of 5 days.”
“Could not say more positive things about Nawal & Thomas! They went above and beyond with keeping me up to date about all the happenings and adventures my Greyson went on. They genuinely loved him like their own and he came home so incredibly calm and happy. Thank you so so much! Would book again in a heartbeat.”
“Sing-Chun, or Sally does a fabulous job. Great upstairs bedroom when an awesome window for kitty to sit high and scope the environment. She took care of my attention hogging kitty and brainstormed ways to entertain/occupy him. He is one spoiled cat. Thank you.”
“Sean and Kim were great with our dog Maisie. They took excellent care of her and provided regular updates. Would definitely recommend them to others.”
“Highly recommend Alex and Jeff. Responsive and on point with all communications. Great yard and set up. Felt really good about leaving our pup with them.”
“Curtis goes above and beyond as a dogsitter! He went out of his way to help move my booking when my plans changed, took my dog on loads of walks and dog park trips that my dog absolutely loved, and gave me fantastic updates in the form of cute and incredibly thorough reports. Curtis has a great attention to detail and ensures that your dog gets excellent care. I can’t recommend Curtis enough!”
“Ruby loved her time at Kim’s! This was her first time boarding and she came out super happy after all of the socialization time with the other dogs and Kim’s son. Kim gave frequent updates and clearly took great care of her!”
“Francesca was wonderful! It was evident that our pup Oslo loved her. She sent great updates and pictures throughout the stay which we really appreciated. We already can’t wait to use her again!”
“There must be something in the water at Kyleigh’s place because our pup Kermit, who usually reacts very strongly and barks nonstop at men, seems so at ease around not only her but even her boyfriend and male visitors. Her dogs seem to be very comforting to Kermit and put him at ease, and she takes great care of him and gives him lots of love. We always know he’s in good hands when he’s at Kyleigh’s!”
“We had a great experience with Madalyn and Gabriel! They were very responsive and attentive with our pup. He had such a great time with them he didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend these two.”
“Our dog had the best time staying with Meghan and Hakon! They made our time away from our pup easy with updates, photos, and genuine care for our dog. We felt confident she was in good hands!”
“Great booking with Ryan and his wife. Got great updates and pictures. They have the perfect set up for dog sitting with a great yard, plenty of gates for separation, if needed, and gentle, but playful hosts.”
“Amazing job! Super informative and helped when she was anxious with other dogs. We loved all the pictures of her playing and appreciated the separate areas for meals. Overall it was a very pleasant first experience with the app and we will be back for future visits!”
“The most caring, attentive, communicative and easy going sitter I've ever had. She sent photos, status updates and when Zaya wouldn't eat (because she was so nervous to be away from home), she asked about ways to entice her to eat and successfully got her to gobble up her meals. And when my plans changed last minute, she was able to accommodate us for an extra night without any issues. Very grateful to have found a dedicated sitter I can trust so much 🥰”

“Tara was wonderful with our 11 week old puppy during daytime drop in visits. She’s a great communicator and sent very detailed updates/pictures. We could tell our puppy was well taken care of when we got home. We look forward to having her sit for us again!”
“Janelle was an absolutely wonderful sitter for our two cats and our bunny. She was responsive, punctual, helpful, and went above and beyond to help me feel at ease with being away from our pets for an extended time. We were able to be less anxious and stressed while we were away because we had 100% confidence that Janelle handled everything the way we would have. I would highly recommend her and will book with her whenever we need pet care in the future. If I could give 10 stars I would!”
“Genna took wonderful care of my 2 cats while I was out of the country. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure everything was going well while I was away. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my cats were in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable sitter.”
“Zach and Ellie did an amazing job taking care of my cats. One of my cats has a medical condition so they gave him his daily meds. They fed the cats, cleaned the cat litter and all the accidents that my sick cat unfortunately has, played with them and gave them lots of affection. I got daily reports and lots of pictures.”

About: Ive taken care of cats for about 3 years and I love cats greatly. I have a cat of my own that I would do anything for. I have experience with middle age to older cats but would love taking care of a kitten . I plan on getting many cats of my own in the future and would love to start by cat sitting or training to begin my journey. I will always be gentle and loving towards any cat and will always do what's best for your pet.
“Daniella was so great with my cat. She sent pictures from every visit, along with fun messages about how she is doing. My house was exactly the way I left it, and my cat was happy and healthy when I got home. Daniella exceeded my expectations, I would recommend to anyone. ”
“Matthew was exceptional! He kept us informed everyday he visited and checked in on the last day. Maui enjoyed his company and we were grateful for his help on such short notice. We would definitely hire him again. Thank you!”
About: Hi there! I’ve had cats my whole life and absolutely adore our feline friends. I’m happy to provide scheduled visits, playtime, cuddles, and all the attention your cat needs while you’re away. I understand how important it is for cats to feel safe and comfortable in their own space, so I’m always gentle, patient, and respectful of their unique personalities. I’m also more than happy to meet with you and your cat beforehand to make sure we’re a good fit!
“Christen was an incredible pet sitter. When I was out of town for a week, she checked in on my cat, Val, daily and was very clear with her communication of what they did on their visit and how my cat was doing while I was gone. She came over once before the check ins to meet Val and get everything looked at. And right before I left when I had a quick fix for a pipe leak, she very kindly agreed to check in on that for me too while I was out of town!”
About: I grew up on a farm where we had all kinds of animals including many dogs and cats that I adored. Specifically, we had a couple of German Shepherd dogs that required daily activity. I also went to school and graduated with a degree in Animal Science which focuses on Animal Husbandry. I have experience with basic obedience training along with administering medications to all types of animals. I have a full time job that allows me to work remotely a couple days during the week so I can do drop ins during the day if needed. My weekends are generally available to do overnights. I would be happy to accomodate any schedule needs you might have. I will be able to pick up on and monitor your pets behavior to ensure their safety. I am able to create a structured but friendly environment for those pets that need it.
About: I have a strong love and affection for animals of all types, and have been a pet owner most of my life. I have been a sitter for family and friends more times than I can remember, and have experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles and fish. I also have cared for older pets and am comfortable administering medication when needed. Whether it’s a quick drop in or an extended time, I’ll treat your furry companion(s) with all the love and attentive care they deserve.
“Emily cared for my cat for a few days while I was taking a final little summer vacation. She is kind, caring, communicative, and it’s clear she loves animals. She spent lots of time playing with my cat and even cared for things that were not part of our original discussion. This was my first time using the Rover service and I would absolutely recommend Emily and Rover. Thank you!!!!”
About: I've fostered and adopted many animals, including those with medical conditions and treatments. I'm passionate about senior dog care and love ❤️, but I love all animals. From snuggles to special diets, medications, exercise, PT, walks, mental stimulation, and playtime, I'm up for it all. I currently work full time but will be transitioning to a remote job from home. I feed my dog in the morning before work and have a 2 hour morning routine, then break for lunch for feeding, bathroom and snuggles, and then dinner and bathroom after work at 5pm and play in evening time. When working from home, I take frequent breaks to walk and stimulate my buddies. I have a lovely middle-aged shih tzu named "Princess Peach" who is a great companion and dog and cat host. My house is a 2 bedroom ranch style home with basement in a terrific walkable neighborhood. I have a backyard with a chain link fence along a residential street. I have a reliable car and can lift and transport large and small animals with care. I'm attentive and observant and observe all rules of clients' homes. I'm very respectful of others' spaces and clean up immediately after any mess.
“Dylan’s great! Definitely will book again while away during future travels. She kept a great eye on my cat Misha while I was traveling. Super flexible, communicative, and my super shy cat warmed up to her in no time.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since childhood, starting with training and walking my first dog, which helped me develop patience, consistency, and a strong understanding of trust. I later co-parented a high-needs dog, gaining experience with behavior management, individual care needs, and medication administration. Throughout my life, friends and neighbors have relied on me to care for their animals, and I pride myself on being dependable, calm, and attentive. I also live an active lifestyle and would love to bring your dog along on hikes or outdoor adventures if that’s something they enjoy. I currently work part time in a hybrid role, and I love to fill some of my time caring for pups! I can’t wait to find out how I can support. My clean and spacious home is the perfect landing space for your pup between walks, potty breaks, rides around town, higher intensity hikes, or whatever activities your dog enjoys the most. Your dog will have the freedom to roam where they please, sit with me on the couch, or insist upon another walk. I pride myself on my attention to detail and risk management when it comes to any environment your dog and I are sharing, while optimizing fun and enrichment. Conveniently located next to a trail and several parks, we will have no shortage of excellent places to jaunt and play!
“Kyleigh was fantastic with our dog, and he's not the easiest dog in the world to manage. He came home tired and seemingly happy - a perfect combination! We'll definitely be using Kyleigh again!”
“Pronk had a fabulous time at Marion's. Pronk has separation anxiety and can be weird about being left behind, but she played with Marion's dog Summit *all day* and was all tuckered out when we picked her up :) :) :) Thank you!!!”
“Mary is great!!! We love how excited Thunder is when he gets to go to play at her house! Mary is professional and straight forward. Thunder comes home ready for bed after a long day playing with his friends. We know that Thunder will be well taken care of when he is with Mary instead of his family. Thank you so much ?”

About: Some unique dog care facts about me: -I have owned and loved 5 dogs their full lifespans throughout my 28 years of life -I can work well with other animals being in your home, because I grew up on a ranch with chickens, cats, goats, ducks, etc. -I can handle disputes between dogs, and can love on rescued/ nervous doggos -I will not love on a puppy any more than I love on an old dog -My commitment to your pet's safety is 100% -I have all the applicable skills when it comes to being aware of the dog's personal needs and how they might vary from other dogs -I don't just do the basics-- I ensure that the dogs receive love and not JUST that they have the essentials! I am actively booking services via Rover in addition to other scheduled clients. Currently, I am available for dog walking, drop in visits for both dogs and cats, and overnight stays in your home in Northern CO/ the Front Range. As of May 2026, I am now working a full-time in -office job Tues-Sat (10am-6pm, 10-5pm on Saturdays.) That being said, if you are located within a close drive to my office in Longmont, i can also do drop in visits on my lunch breaks (anytime between noon- 2pm.) I provide the utmost care to your pups or kitties. Please refer to my calendar to book services and see when I am available 😊 PLEASE NOTE: **** I have a policy that new clients must request my services within 5 days’ advanced notice prior to drop- in visits, walks, or overnight sitting. If this cannot be done, it is very likely that I may instead request a one- time add- on adjustment/ fee to the booking, especially if the request is made: - In less than 24 hours’ notice and/ OR - On a Holiday PLEASE respect this policy of mine & know that I am a small business owner who cares for animals full- time. I do my best to fulfill each request that comes my way, unless I otherwise am already booked at the same time. I do not turn anyone away and ask that my time, care & love for your fur babies is respected! Thanks :) **** I always ensure that your pets are in either a fenced in yard, or on leash while walked out in the neighborhood. I have experience with neurotic, fearful pups who need some extra lovin’, and may take their sweet time to get to know me and/ or need to be muzzled to go on a walk. I have cared for 8 week old puppies, and 19.5 year old kitties and elderly dogs. My love and respect for animals is always at the forefront of the time I spend in your home with your furry family members!
“Anna and her family took good care of Curly today. She has friendly dogs that gave our dog some good exercise and small kids that loved him as well. Good environment for a visiting dog.”
About: I have cared for dozens of dogs, cats and pets over the last 25 years. I bring a calming, grounded energy and an intelligent, thoughtful approach when caring for animals. I am self-employed as an insurance broker and can work from anywhere with cell service/internet. This gives me a ton of flexibility with scheduling and availability. I work closely with pet owners to follow specific care instructions and take their personal preferences very seriously. I understand that pets are part of the family and have their own unique routines, needs and care requirements.

“Our dog had a blast at Hollie and Zach's place! They are super responsive and patient. Hollie made sure I understand the property situation and asked about my preferences and Zach did a great job taking care of my pup. Their dogs are playful and the yard is perfect for dogs to run around. Will definitely book again when we are back in the area!”
“You are amazing. Every experience with you is even better and better thank you for bringing her home. You’re very flexible and accessible and communicative. It is much appreciated.”
“Christine was fantastic and Lulu had a great time playing with Hondo! Lulu is a very anxious dog—Christine was understanding of her needs and Lulu warmed to her within just this first daycare visit.

About: Hi, I’m Lilly a lifelong dog lover and dedicated pet sitter! I’ve grown up with dogs and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I now share my life with my own 6-year-old pup who’s gentle, well-behaved, and has done great with both dogs and cats. I provide a loving, safe, and comfortable home where your pet will be treated like one of my own. My apartment complex includes a private dog park, so your pup will get plenty of safe outdoor time and play! Whether it’s a day visit or an overnight stay, I’ll make sure your pet feels happy, secure, and well cared for. Let me help give your pet a home away from home! Currently between jobs so I’ll have plenty of time/ attention for any of your puppy’s needs.. we look forward to having you ! ! ! I have a 7 year old loving dog that is eager for a playmate ! Since I am a pet owner myself I understand the need for short notice reliability and trusted care
About: My goal is to give you true peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your dog is safe and well cared for. I provide a loving and fun home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. I have a large fenced yard that’s perfect for playing outside, soaking up the sun, and getting plenty of fresh air. There's also a park nearby for regular walks. Briscoe, my Jack Russell mix, is always excited to make new friends to play tug-of-war with him or chase squirrels in the yard. Inside, there’s always time to unwind with cuddles on the couch after a fun day of activity. Because my work schedule is flexible, dogs are rarely left home alone. And if I do step out, it’s never for long stretches. Your pup will get consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout their stay. My work schedule is flexible and my husband works from home 3 days a week. Meaning someone is almost always home to keep the dogs company. As an anxious pet parent, I know firsthand how nerve-wracking it can feel to be separated from your dog, so providing peace of mind is always my top priority. I follow each pet’s routine closely, maintain a secure environment, and make sure they get plenty of supervised play, exercise, and affection so their time away from you feels safe, comfortable, and fun.
About: Grew up with Rusty, Fifi and Rocky. My kids grew up with Scout. Precious visits from Chloe, Lexi, Lilly, Joey, Forest, Katie, Cowboy, Kiah, Riggo and other dog friends. I have also provided medication including injections as needed. I’m an active retiree with a dog door to fenced yard. As a triathlete I thrive on exercise. Outdoors in my nearby parks + dog walking = 😊Glee I treat clients dogs as if they’re my own. I send frequent photos of our activities. I always consider their safety and the wishes of the people they live with. I watch two dogs at a time if they come from the same home. Otherwise only one dog at a time. Even though I do not have children in my home I do want for my grandsons (5&7) to be safe and comfortable visiting at times. Therefore, I choose not to watch dogs that do not do well with children or if the owner is unsure about their dog with children. I regret to mention I would not be willing to watch pit mixes. I’m sure many are wonderful dogs. I just can’t take the chance. Thank you for your understanding.

“My little guy is a tough cookie to crack. He is a bit worried and stand off-ish with new people. Thank you Izzy for being as calm and patient as you were with him! He came around to you ❣️”
About: Hi, I'm Hollie! If your pup could design their dream vacation, it would probably look a lot like my place. I live in a cozy cabin in the mountains, just 25 minutes from Boulder and 10 minutes from Nederland, backed up to National Forest with miles and miles of trails right outside the door. Whether your dog is a seasoned trail runner or more of a leisurely sniffer, we'll find the perfect adventure (or nap spot) together. My sidekick is Chaco, the sweetest 8-year-old Great Pyrenees mix who is the best boy: calm, easygoing, and always happy to share his mom (just not with small puppies). A few things that make staying with us special: Direct National Forest access — hiking and trail running right from the cabin, no car needed Unfenced yard with tons of space — perfect for dogs with great recall who love to roam freely (leash walks always available too!) Someone home 24/7 — I work from home running my dog business, Plus the Pups, so your pup will never be left alone. Dogs are genuinely my whole life — I've built an entire business around making sure dogs are not only included in their parents' weddings, but that they have a safe, regulated nervous system to orient to in an otherwise emotionally charged environment. Whether your dog needs high-altitude adventures or cozy cabin cuddles, I've got them covered. P.S. If you'd like to check out more reviews on how I work with dogs, you can read my business Google Reviews here: ........?q=plus+the+pups&oq=plus+the+pups&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyCQgAEEUYORiABDIMCAEQIxgnGIAEGIoFMggIAhAAGBYYHjIKCAMQABiABBiiBDIHCAQQABjvBTIKCAUQABiABBiiBDIGCAYQRRg80gEIMTY4NWowajeoAgCwAgA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x2dc6d7fc8c59fdab:0xd3aaa8bbb29cac68,1,,,, My dog, Chaco, is my life, and my days pretty much revolve around him. Which means that my days will pretty much revolve around your dogs, too (: I live in a cabin in the Foothills of Boulder that backs up to National Forest with miles and miles of hiking trails. I also LOVE trail running, so if you have a high energy pup that needs to burn off lots of energy, this is the place and I'm the gal. That said, if you have a pup who prefers leisurely walks, Chaco and I are out walking several times a day.
About: I am a responsible college student who loves all kinds of dogs. I have grown up with dogs my entire life and have experience with large breed puppies to small senior dogs.

I am currently home for the summer so my schedule is very flexible. My mornings are generally busier, but I can adapt to your needs on most days. The safety and happiness of your pet is my first priority, so I prefer to stick to familiar areas and will pay close attention to your pet's cues. If your dog enjoys exercise or activities, I am also able to go on runs, play, or explore new places with them.

About: I’ve grown up with many animals over the years, including cats, dogs, reptiles, horses, and chickens, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I’ve also helped friends, family, and neighbors with pet sitting—providing everything from daily walks and feedings to overnight care and companionship. These experiences have helped me develop a strong sense of responsibility, attention to detail, and a genuine love for all kinds of pets. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for pet sitting most of the time, with occasional exceptions when I have prior commitments. I’m hoping to incorporate a regular dog walking schedule as well. I’m happy to stay at your home while pet sitting, and I always ensure a quiet, respectful, and clean environment. I’ll do whatever makes your dog or cat feel most comfortable, respecting their routines and needs.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have cared for them independently since I was 14 years old. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their dogs while they were away. I recently lost my own dog, which made me realize how much I truly love being around them. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs different levels of attention, exercise, and affection. I enjoy long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, and just simply having a buddy. My goal is always to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and will provide probably too many photos and updates. My schedule is fairly flexible, I work part time as a private caregiver for an elderly couple. I have lots of free time and I do my best to accommodate each dog’s needs. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so caring for dogs fits naturally into my routine. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your dog gets the attention and care they deserve. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a family member, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I will carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding routines, feeding, medications, exercise, and house rules.
“Shawn was great, booked him for a week. My two dogs had no issues w/ him, nor did he have issues with them. Shawn was very nice & attentive to their needs. From bathroom breaks to water breaks Shawn handled it. If the doggies were low on food/water he took care of it. He walked the dogs on various routes within the neighborhood to keep them interested. Thanx again Shawn for your help and nurturing. I WILL definitely book again in the future.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with dogs, having grown up with them since birth. I’ve also frequently pet-sat for neighbors and friends, handling everything from walks to feeding and cleaning up. I love dogs so much and walk a lot every day and I would love to have a dog to walk as well! I am a senior at San Diego State and am a full-time student but I only go to campus Monday Wednesday and Friday! I have lots of free time in the mornings and late afternoons! When caring for a dog in a client's home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment. I maintain a routine that the dog is familiar with, ensuring their surroundings feel secure and stress-free. I follow any specific care instructions provided by the owner, keeping their home clean and the pet well-fed, exercised, and content. My goal is to create a great experience for both the dog and their owner, providing peace of mind that their pet is in good hands.
About: I have years of experience with “bully” breeds, and elderly dog care. I am good with walking dogs of all sizes and training levels. I have walked multiple dogs at a time, and love being outdoors so if your dog wants a long walk, they’ll get a long walk with me! I am able to set my own schedule in advance at my job to ensure I have the proper time to care for your loved ones. Animals aren’t just pets, they’re apart of your family and should be treated as such. When I am taking care of your fur-babies, they will receive ny full attention and support!
“Can't say enough good things about Ona!, their schedule is very flexible and they work with me with last minute requests and do a wonderful job. My beautiful little dog is always super happy when I come home and not too too fully energetic.”
About: I have a strong love and affection for animals of all types, and have been a pet owner most of my life. I have been a sitter for family and friends more times than I can remember, and have experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles and fish. I also have cared for older pets and am comfortable administering medication when needed. Whether it’s a quick drop in or an extended time, I’ll treat your furry companion(s) with all the love and attentive care they deserve. I will be working part time but also have a flexible schedule, I’m willing to work with clients to meet their schedule needs as much as I can. No backyard, but a dog park and safe walking spaces are available near me in a quiet apartment complex. Pets can be lonely while away from their owners, but I will provide lots of affection and play time to make sure they are as happy as ever. I will also keep detailed notes on any specific care your pet(s) may require, and can be reached at my cell if needed.
About: I grew up on a farm where we had all kinds of animals including many dogs and cats that I adored. Specifically, we had a couple of German Shepherd dogs that required daily activity. I also went to school and graduated with a degree in Animal Science which focuses on Animal Husbandry. I have experience with basic obedience training along with administering medications to all types of animals. I have a full time job that allows me to work remotely a couple days during the week so I can do drop ins during the day if needed. My weekends are generally available to do overnights. I would be happy to accomodate any schedule needs you might have. I will be able to pick up on and monitor your pets behavior to ensure their safety. I am able to create a structured but friendly environment for those pets that need it.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a kid. My dog was my best friend growing up. When my kids were young we had pets as well. Now I rent a home where pets aren't allowed but would be happy to love on your babies. I know how stressful it can be for both dog and parent to be separated so I want to ease the time away. Lots of walks and time spent making sure the pups are content while parents are away. I am self employed and so my days are flexible. I can taylor my work schedule to accommodate what ever your pup's needs may be. Care for pets in their own home to me is keeping their schedule as similar as possible as when parents are home. Going for walks and lots of cuddle time.

“A very good experience and great communiction between me and the host. Lots of photos shared and the hosts were very quick to respond. I got done with my trip early and they had no problem working with me to pick up my dog earlier than expected. I will be using them again when I am in the area. Thank you. Brent and Harvey.”
“Sydney willingly agreed to dog-sit our vizsla last-minute, even though she hadn't taken care of our dog before. We described our dog to her and it seemed like a good fit. Our dog was well taken care of, and enjoyed playing with the other dogs, and cuddling with Sydney. Sydney sent several photos over the stay of 5 days.”
“Sean and Kim were great with our dog Maisie. They took excellent care of her and provided regular updates. Would definitely recommend them to others.”
“Highly recommend Alex and Jeff. Responsive and on point with all communications. Great yard and set up. Felt really good about leaving our pup with them.”
“Ruby loved her time at Kim’s! This was her first time boarding and she came out super happy after all of the socialization time with the other dogs and Kim’s son. Kim gave frequent updates and clearly took great care of her!”
“Francesca was wonderful! It was evident that our pup Oslo loved her. She sent great updates and pictures throughout the stay which we really appreciated. We already can’t wait to use her again!”
“There must be something in the water at Kyleigh’s place because our pup Kermit, who usually reacts very strongly and barks nonstop at men, seems so at ease around not only her but even her boyfriend and male visitors. Her dogs seem to be very comforting to Kermit and put him at ease, and she takes great care of him and gives him lots of love. We always know he’s in good hands when he’s at Kyleigh’s!”
“We had a great experience with Madalyn and Gabriel! They were very responsive and attentive with our pup. He had such a great time with them he didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend these two.”
“Our dog had the best time staying with Meghan and Hakon! They made our time away from our pup easy with updates, photos, and genuine care for our dog. We felt confident she was in good hands!”
“Great booking with Ryan and his wife. Got great updates and pictures. They have the perfect set up for dog sitting with a great yard, plenty of gates for separation, if needed, and gentle, but playful hosts.”
“Amazing job! Super informative and helped when she was anxious with other dogs. We loved all the pictures of her playing and appreciated the separate areas for meals. Overall it was a very pleasant first experience with the app and we will be back for future visits!”
“The most caring, attentive, communicative and easy going sitter I've ever had. She sent photos, status updates and when Zaya wouldn't eat (because she was so nervous to be away from home), she asked about ways to entice her to eat and successfully got her to gobble up her meals. And when my plans changed last minute, she was able to accommodate us for an extra night without any issues. Very grateful to have found a dedicated sitter I can trust so much 🥰”
“Jessica stayed in communication and gave us several photos of Ace. She took him on walks. She was flexible when our return flight was delayed. We worked definitely book with her again.”
“Ben was wonderful watching our puppy Benny for a last minute trip! He’s a great communicator with a clear love for dogs! He sent us updates about our puppy while we were gone and was super easy going! Would love to have him watch our puppy again in the future!”
