“Patrick was incredibly loving and warm with my two pups. He interacted with them all the time and truly made them a part of his household. We would absolutely use him again.”
“This was the first time I've used Tamara. She did a great job with our anxious havanese, Parker, and I think he settled right in. She has a small dog herself and it sounds like they got along well. Communication was great, as well the photos she sent while we were gone. Recommend!”
“Laurel and her family were perfect hosts. She sent daily updates and pictures to keep me up to date on Alfred’s activities. She was great in being flexible with drop off and pick up and I absolutely would book with her again 10/10.”
“Jen and her family always take such good care of Rocket. He loves snuggles and they happily oblige him. And Jen sends lots of pictures and updates. Highly recommend!”
“My litttle dog has been to Andrea's numerous times now for short and long stays. She is just so wonderful with him and he loves going there. I know that he is safe and having a fun time and I can feel confident that all is well!”
“Beanie was so well cared for and had great company. He enjoys the attention he gets from little ones and having another smaller dog was great. I appreciated the updates and am especially thankful for the accommodation on the late request.”
“I would highly recommend Jessica and her family as a dog sitter. I have a pup who is a bit of a special needs guy and was very nervous leaving him with anyone. She came highly recommended and I see why. They treated him like he was part of the family. Thanks so much Jessica!”
“Katya and Kyle took such amazing care of our Barley while we were out of town for 9 days! Their two dogs are so sweet and were the perfect companions for Barley to play with in their large yard. Katya and Kyle are very active and took the dogs on lots of walks and gave Barley plenty of exercise while we were away. Katya sent photos every day and made us feel that Barley was right at home. We already have talked about booking with Katya again when we are out of town next!”
“Our dog has been coming to Erika for the last 2 years since she was a new pup. It’s easy to tell that she has the best time when she is there through the communication/photos we get from Erika as well as the excitement on her face when she gets to go back every time. Highly recommend!”
“Stacey was a true lifesaver!! She was very flexible and accommodated me in a pinch after my 1st sitter cancelled before our vacation. Leaving my dog for a week for the first time in 10 years with a stranger was beyond stressful for me. But after meeting with her the first time my anxiety was immediately relieved. She was the perfect match for him. Gave him all the love and attention he needed as well as happily sending me updates and pics every am/pm for my reassurance. Her professionalism, expertise and big heart for dogs was unquestionable and so appreciated. I am so happy to have found someone I have full confidence in and true peace of mind when leaving my fur baby. I definitely look forward to using her services again.”
“Brenda and Deb were so flexible in taking care of both of our dogs including our young puppy :) We are so grateful to them for their love and kindness. Our older anxious dog is happy to arrive and then didn’t want to leave which is the best sign!!”
“Judith is an absolute joy! Such a wonderful sitter! Caring, attentive, and communicative! Has a quaint backyard for the pups to run and play in, great with schedules and sending photos upon request. Would definitely be using her services in the future!”
“Having just moved to a new town, knowing you’ll need some level of dog care it was so nice to meet Grace. Communication was great, and I felt immediately comfortable leaving Blu in her care. Blu had a great stay and I would definitely use Grace again and highly recommend her. Thanks.”
“Time with Andrew and his pack is the perfect, safe socialization our girl needs. We know she comes back home happy. What would we do without Andrew?! I don’t want to think about it. ❤️🐾”

“Our two cats do not get along. Despite their territorial spats, Patrick has somehow managed to get our trouble makers to play nice! I am astounded to come home from our trips to find the cats as best buddies. Our home is automated for food and water, but the mental stimulation from quality playtime is something you cannot simulate from a machine. According to our two cats, they give him 4 paws up! You can expect from Patrick a sitter that follows directions, thoughtful comments, excellent photos, and reliable availability. Thank you!”
“Mackenzie was amazing!! My husband and I found Mackenzie last minute after someone else on rover canceled. We were planning our wedding weekend and honeymoon and were not able to communicate with Mackenzie Very much and she was still able to do everything we needed. She even got a picture of our elusive younger cat Logan who typically hides from everyone.”
“Jade was extremely professional, friendly, and took great care of my cat during a drop-in visit. I was especially impressed with the detailed notes she left for me after the visit and the multiple cute photos that made me certain my cat was happy and well taken care of. Looking forward to booking with Jade again in the future!”
“We were so appreciative of Kat's kindness and patience while watching our kitten, Penelope. Penelope is afraid of new people but we felt completely comfortable leaving her under Kat's care because of Kat's love and understanding for animals. Kat kept us in the know with photos and updates which we greatly appreciated. We will be using Kat's pet sitting services in the future. She is a delightful person and was incredibly kind towards our kitten. Thank you Kat for watching our Penelope! You showed great adaptability as Penelope adjusted her comfort level with you.”
About: I’m currently a caregiver for my mom, which gives me the flexibility to offer attentive, unrushed care for your pets without being tied to a strict clock-in, clock-out schedule. I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and have been surrounded by dogs, cats, and other critters since childhood. Throughout college and during full-time work, I provided house and pet sitting for long-term clients—some with up to three dogs and two cats. These stays ranged from short weekend trips to week-long visits, and I always made sure pets felt safe, comfortable, and loved. I also used to care for my former landlord’s two senior dogs, one of whom needed daily medication, whenever she traveled. These experiences helped me become calm, observant, and trustworthy—qualities that animals naturally respond to. I wear two hearing aids due to hearing loss, which has actually made me more in tune with pets’ body language and non-verbal cues. I’d love to care for your pets like they’re my own and give you peace of mind while you're away. I moved out of state from California and lived in Colorado for almost 2 years. I’ve been looking for slower pace of work, after working in corporate and law offices for last 10 years. I’m interested in being more of an entrepreneur and doing my own business eventually down the road. I usually do what’s comfortable for your pets, so they are comfortable. If I’m house sitting with your pets, I clean up after myself and ensure everything is like you left it, but better since I’m doing some cleaning to whatever I used. 😉
About: I love spending time with cats and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I tailor playtime and attention to each kitty’s personality and keep their routine consistent, from feeding to cozy nap spots. Litter boxes and the occasional throw up don’t bother me, your cat’s well-being is what matters most to me. I provide playtime with toys, gentle grooming if needed, and plenty of affection. With my care, your furry friend will feel happy, relaxed, and ready to greet you with a purr when you return.
“Taylor does a wonderful job tending to the individual needs of our four cats. He goes above and beyond to make sure our cats and home are cared for and is very communicative. He even sweeps up the litter trails that our cats leave! I would certainly recommend him and will use him anytime he’s got the availability!”
About: I've cared for several dog breeds, sizes, and personalities over the past 9 years! Especially love walking and training my dog and the dogs of customers I work with! I have years of experience training dogs including potty-training as well as fun tricks! I am also comfortable administering medication, as my current dog is taking medication. I’m currently on summer break as a school counselor! I’m available most days and times throughout the summer to meet your needs, and can be flexible if changes are requested. At your home I will follow your instructions to a T! Ensuring your pet is safe and is cared for just as you would do
“As always, Erika is amazing !! She takes great care of of my little girl, and Moumou loves her ! She made arrangements to check in on Moumou at the last minute, which was so appreciated.”
About: Growing up on a farm and participating in 4-H taught me the importance of responsibility, patience, and genuine care when it comes to animals. I’ve had hands-on experience caring for a variety of animals, learning their needs and routines while building strong, trusting bonds. In addition, I’ve house sat for families with dogs and cats, making sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every animal like my own and always prioritize their well-being and happiness. 🐾 I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups or care for your cats! I’m available to pet sit on weekends! Along with weekdays after 3! I care for pets by creating a calm, safe, and consistent environment, whether in my home or a client’s. I follow each pet’s routine closely. Such as feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. This allows them to feel comfortable and secure. Safety is always my top priority, from keeping spaces clean and hazard-free to closely monitoring behavior and health. I also understand how important trust is, so I communicate clearly with owners, respect their home, and treat every pet with the same care and attention I would give my own. 🐾
“Kaya was an amazing find!! We had family in town and booked with her about two weeks ahead of time. We ended up changing plans and she was so accommodating to switching times. I sooo appreciate her and would definitely use her again!!”
“Stacey took time to come over and meet my kitties and see where everything was situated. After a couple of visits my one scaredy cat that hardly lets anyone pet her LOVED her. I can tell she really cares about the animals she sits for and will definitely book her again. Thanks Stacey!”
“Isabella fulfilled a last minute request and took great care of my cat with drop in visits for a week. She kept me informed and sent great pictures. I highly recommend her.”
“Amanda was wonderful with my cat, Pablo! She was communicative and sent lots of pics while I was away, which made it easy to trust her. It was great to be able to relax and enjoy vacation, knowing my furbaby was well cared for. I appreciated Amanda's proactive approach (e.g. thinking to add more litter to the box when it got low even though I hadn't mentioned this). She was also understanding and flexible with last-minute changes and requests (e.g. dealing with a problem accessing the house on the first visit, being flexible with my return time, and taking down the trash/recycling). The best part is that Pablo didn't seem attention-starved when I got home, which is often the case. I'll definitely be using Amanda again and am hoping she can help with my dogs in the future as well!”
“Rose was able to stop by and check in on my dog even at a very last minute request! She did an amazing job taking care of my dog and had good communication with me. Definitely would book her again in the future!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Wellington
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: Animals have always been at the heart of everything I do. With years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine, including emergency care, specialty departments, and boarding/kennel facilities, I’ve had the privilege of caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and needs. Animals are truly my passion, and I approach every pet with patience, respect, and love. Whether your pet needs a calm companion, extra medical awareness, or simply someone who will treat them like family, you can trust they’ll be safe, understood, and genuinely cared for with me. I am able to assist early mornings, lunch times, evenings and weekends. I am able to stay the night if needed for those that have more anxiety then others. I care for pets by focusing on their individual routines, comfort, and safety—whether they’re in my home or their own. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, energy level, feeding schedule, medical needs, and any special instructions so their care feels familiar and stress-free.
About: The beautiful atmosphere here at Ranch Itty Bitty provides lots of loving care, safety and walks on quiet country roads. All visitors love it here. I am nearly 100% retired and enjoy spending time with loving animals while their human family spends time away. I work hard to make sure their time is as precious as yours and mine. Since my two sweet pups traveled over the rainbow bridge, I have found joy in caring for pups of other families. While I miss my own, I adore the company of dogs and have found this experience absolutely perfect for my life. I have a big fenced yard if you need boarding services. I am extremely caring, respectful and have oodles of references to let you know you are hiring the best of care for your furry loved ones.
“Kaitlyn took great care of my dog. There were a lot of pictures and updates throughout the day. Kaitlyn also communicated well before the booking, making sure Aloy would be comfortable in her care. This is your sign to book with Kaitlyn if you’re looking for someone in Fort Collins to watch your puppy.”
“Andrew has cared for our 1 year old Great Dane twice now and she always comes back happy and tired! He keeps us well updated with how she is doing and she is obviously well loved and cared for when she gets to visit. We will be continuing to use Andrew in the future and can’t speak more highly to his care and compassion for Millie and animals in general.”
“Rosa was amazing with my 10-wk old puppy, Bodie, and her experience in animal health made me feel so at ease! She was easy to schedule with, provided updates, and was so kind and loving with Bodie. We would absolutely book with her again!”
“I really appreciate having Lindsey as a sitter! I have an older dog who would get anxious to the point of physical exhaustion at other dog sitters and commercial boarding places. It got to the point where one time I went to pick her up and she literally could not walk. Lindsey has senior dog experience and is home most of the time, which gives me confidence that my dog will have someone around to keep her company and won't get too anxious or worried. She's also been helpful in working with me on getting my dog acclimated to her house and easing her into the new environment. I'm very thankful for having an experienced and caring sitter to look after my dog!”
“Jen and her husband did a great job watching Prince. They played with him, fed him, took him on a walk and gave him nap time. Prince is a small maltipoo. Highly recommend Jen as a dog sitter. She truly enjoys pets, is experienced and showers her gentle care and love with each pet. She also sent photos and updates throughout the day. Thanks, Jen.”
“Elizabeth and will were great with our dog! We haven’t left our dog with anyone but family since before the pandemic. We had to travel to a funeral and so it was kind of a hectic time. Elizabeth was more than willing to accommodate our pick up and drop off times and kept us updated all day. Our dog was happy upon pickup. We would definitely use Elizabeth and will again!!”
“We took a chance using Rover for our first time and so thankful that we did! Andrea took amazing care of our puppy - 10 out of 10 would recommend her and use again.”
About: I've had personal experience training and caring for dogs my entire life, especially the past 15 years. I currently have one small dog who loves other dogs and cats and we love having friends over to watch and play with! I am a PhD student and work 5 minutes from my house. I'm able to go home every day at lunch to take pets outside and am home every morning, evening/night, and weekend! I have a fenced yard and one friendly, small dog! We love cuddling on the couch and playing with toys in the yard and in the living room. We take a long walk every day, one short one in the morning and a longer one in the evening.
About: Weather it's long walks, play sessions, or cuddle time, we make sure your furry family member gets both physical excercise and emotional connection that they need. As work from home, I will have a time dedicated to your pet. I can take care of puppies under 1 year as well.. Because I work from home throughout most days, your dog will never feel lonely or overlooked. I will be able to provide regular attention, potty breaks and play sessions. I will follow your dog/cats schedule for feeding, walks and medication, so they feel secure and cared for. I can also provide photos and messages so you can see how happy and relaxed your furry friend is.
About: I’ve had dogs, cats, reptiles, and small mammals my whole life! My 100lbs dog has taught me tons about dog behavior, body language, and training. There are very few animal related challenges I’m not up to! I’m a graduate student at CSU. I’ll have a pretty open routine this summer and am looking to fill it with pets. I can do morning walks, feedings, letting doggies out into your backyard. Whatever you need! I have a large fenced in yard and a private home in a duplex with nice, dog-friendly neighbors. My dog also gets 2 walks per day, so adding a couple more dogs into the routine would be easy.
“This was Scout second time staying at Laurel’s house. He was so excited to run back inside and show me all of the toys that he was playing with. I am so grateful to have someone nearby that I trust with Scout.”
About: Hi! My name is Paige and i’ve worked with animals for many years. I worked at an animal shelter as well as watched my neighbors and families pets many times! I love fostering dogs and cats and helping them find their forever families. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time for your fur babies! I am a homebody so I am home pretty regularly. If your pet is active, I love going on long walks and hikes! I have a fenced in yard and no pets currently. I prefer to take care of animals in my own home if it is an overnight visit but have no issue doing drop a drop in during the day!

“Patrick is an excellent communicator, which given primary very busy schedule. I always appreciate as I know my dog is getting great care! I have noticed such a big difference in Ella‘s demeanor, she is so much calmer when I get home, and I can’t help but love the candid photos and quit that Patrick sent as update! We are so thankful to have found you, Patrick!”
“Mackenzie is the best! My dog can be a little bit anxious but within two minutes of her walking through the door Ralphie was laying by her feet and letting her pet him, not something that happens so quickly normally. She sent us photos of them on their walk while I was at work, which definitely is relieving to know he's getting good exercise and getting outside while we're gone.”

About: I have dog sat, fostered, and was a dog groomer for many many years! I have dog sat for many people and every time they referred me to others! I understand how important it is for your pet to be taken care of the right way so you will have the peace of mind of knowing that your pet is being taken care of by a genuine pet lover who will do everything in my power to make your pet feel safe, happy, and relaxed! I do remote work so I can be completely available for the dates you’re looking for! I can stay at your house or do drop in visits and I do nights of course :) I have 3 dogs of which i walk twice a day and take them to the park to play fetch in the afternoon (and ice cream after sometimes ;). They sleep in my room and play all the time. I will of course adapt to your house routine and if i stayed over I keep everything very neat!
About: I grew up with pets and love animals! I have been pet sitting as my main job since 2021 and continue to take care of many types of breeds. I'm used to all sorts of conditions and behaviors including anxiety, separation anxiety, energetic puppies/adults, old age, arthritis, deaf/hard of hearing, and giving medications. I love to be active with your pet by taking them on walks, car rides, and hikes! ATTENTION: Due to the current situation with the world, my prices have been raised. Grocery prices have already been rising, but now gas prices have risen too, and pet sitting is how I support myself. That being said, I do offer my services outside of the app which is a lot cheaper without all the fees Rover charges. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions! Pet sitting is my main job and my schedule is flexible, so please feel free to reach out. I may be available for last minute situations as well! PLEASE READ!!! Submitting a request: If you need more than 2 hours for a drop in, please submit your request as an overnight sitting because its easier to modify to the correct pricing. If you need more than 8 hours, there will be an additional overtime fee modified into the price of the booking. Travel fees: I have had my services requested multiple times in Wellington, Fort Collins, Loveland, Greeley, Berthoud, Grand Lake, Livermore, and Cheyenne, WY. If you are 30 minutes or more away from Wellington/Oldtown Fort Collins area, I require a travel fee. The travel fee is for the gas and driving time. This fee will be modified and included with the booking or you may pay this fee outside of the app (would be cheaper). I charge for the meet and greet as well when it's 30 minutes away. I am willing to travel especially for those that don't have any help near them, so please feel free to ask!
About: Hello! I have been a pet and animal lover since I can remember, having grown up with plenty of dogs and cats. I have some experience petsitting and walking from helping out friends and family, and I am looking to have more time with furry friends in my life, as I don’t have any dogs or cats of my own right now. I also am passionate about helping my community, and I would love to do this by making pet care easier and more stress-free! I have a lot of free time on my hands nowadays, as a seasonal worker, and I would love to take your pup on a walk or hike, or whatever you need! I am currently working about 2 weeks a month, so my availability is pretty open during the days, with almost no other obligations. I can take your pup on a walk or to a park while you’re at work, as well as assist with feeding schedules anytime of day and dog sitting as well! I believe that when working with clients, communication is the most important. I would make sure that I know what you need from me, and do so with the most respect for you, your home, and of course your pets! I am quite organized and cleanly, and will always reach out and communicate if uncertainty arises.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life—my dad even bred Boxers for a time—so I’m very familiar with caring for puppies and adult dogs alike. In December we actually got a boxer puppy of our own and I have been in need of a dog sitter while traveling so I understand the importance of having someone trust worthy to be with your animal! I currently work at a high school in Fort Collins, which provides me with summers off. During this time, I ideally focus on dog sitting, pursuing my passion for photography as a part-time photographer, and exploring new travel destinations. While I do not currently have space to host dogs in my home, I am very respectful and maintain a high standard of cleanliness when caring for pets in their owners’ homes. Additionally, I lead an active lifestyle, which enables me to keep dogs engaged and well-exercised.
About: I have always had dogs from little to big! I love walking and hiking. I am comfortable administering meds and understand if your dog has specific needs. I'd love to send pictures of your pet as often as you would like to keep connected! I currently do not have any pets, so I can give your pup full attention! I'd love to meet your best friend! I have a flexible schedule. I will make your dog my priority when you book with me. Bonus points yorkies, I love all small dogs but yorkies have a special place in my heart! I have a fenced in yard in a neighborhood with miles of paved trails. I will care for your dog in our home and handle medication and picky eaters!
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I bring a calm, patient approach to every pup I work with. My background includes dog sitting, horse training, and general animal care, which has taught me how to read body language, build trust, and keep animals feeling safe and comfortable. I’m experienced with: - Puppies — gentle guidance, routine building, and lots of positive reinforcement - Senior dogs — slow, attentive care with a focus on comfort and consistency - High‑energy breeds — structured play, walks, and mental stimulation - Shy or anxious dogs — calm handling and a reassuring presence What sets me apart is my reliability, my genuine love for animals, and my ability to stay patient and confident in any situation. Whether your dog needs playtime, structure, or simply someone who will treat them with kindness, I’m committed to giving them the same level of care I’d want for my own pets. Pet care fits smoothly into my weekly routine. I’m in college Monday through Thursday from 8:30–2:00, and I work part‑time on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Outside of those hours, I’m home consistently and able to give dogs regular attention, walks, and check‑ins throughout the day. I keep a steady routine that helps pets feel comfortable — morning potty breaks, midday playtime, and calm evening wind‑downs. I’m flexible with timing and always make sure each dog stays on their normal feeding and walking schedule. Even on my busier days, I plan so that every pet gets the care, consistency, and affection they’re used to. When caring for pets, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment where every dog can relax and feel at home. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, body language, and comfort level so they always feel secure in my care. In my home, I keep the space clean, pet‑friendly, and free of hazards. Dogs get a cozy spot to rest, regular potty breaks, and plenty of supervised playtime. I make sure doors, gates, and personal items are secure so pets can explore safely without getting into anything they shouldn’t. In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and follow the dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. I stick to their feeding schedule, walking habits, and any special instructions you provide. I always double‑check that doors are locked, crates are secure, and pets have fresh water before I leave. Above all, I prioritize trust — clear communication, consistent updates, and gentle, attentive care. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and understood, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home.

“Patrick was incredibly loving and warm with my two pups. He interacted with them all the time and truly made them a part of his household. We would absolutely use him again.”
“Beanie was so well cared for and had great company. He enjoys the attention he gets from little ones and having another smaller dog was great. I appreciated the updates and am especially thankful for the accommodation on the late request.”
“I would highly recommend Jessica and her family as a dog sitter. I have a pup who is a bit of a special needs guy and was very nervous leaving him with anyone. She came highly recommended and I see why. They treated him like he was part of the family. Thanks so much Jessica!”
“Katya and Kyle took such amazing care of our Barley while we were out of town for 9 days! Their two dogs are so sweet and were the perfect companions for Barley to play with in their large yard. Katya and Kyle are very active and took the dogs on lots of walks and gave Barley plenty of exercise while we were away. Katya sent photos every day and made us feel that Barley was right at home. We already have talked about booking with Katya again when we are out of town next!”
“Our dog has been coming to Erika for the last 2 years since she was a new pup. It’s easy to tell that she has the best time when she is there through the communication/photos we get from Erika as well as the excitement on her face when she gets to go back every time. Highly recommend!”
“Stacey was a true lifesaver!! She was very flexible and accommodated me in a pinch after my 1st sitter cancelled before our vacation. Leaving my dog for a week for the first time in 10 years with a stranger was beyond stressful for me. But after meeting with her the first time my anxiety was immediately relieved. She was the perfect match for him. Gave him all the love and attention he needed as well as happily sending me updates and pics every am/pm for my reassurance. Her professionalism, expertise and big heart for dogs was unquestionable and so appreciated. I am so happy to have found someone I have full confidence in and true peace of mind when leaving my fur baby. I definitely look forward to using her services again.”
“Brenda and Deb were so flexible in taking care of both of our dogs including our young puppy :) We are so grateful to them for their love and kindness. Our older anxious dog is happy to arrive and then didn’t want to leave which is the best sign!!”
“Judith is an absolute joy! Such a wonderful sitter! Caring, attentive, and communicative! Has a quaint backyard for the pups to run and play in, great with schedules and sending photos upon request. Would definitely be using her services in the future!”
“Having just moved to a new town, knowing you’ll need some level of dog care it was so nice to meet Grace. Communication was great, and I felt immediately comfortable leaving Blu in her care. Blu had a great stay and I would definitely use Grace again and highly recommend her. Thanks.”
“Time with Andrew and his pack is the perfect, safe socialization our girl needs. We know she comes back home happy. What would we do without Andrew?! I don’t want to think about it. ❤️🐾”
“Elizabeth was amazing! She watched our Binx for 7 days and he had a great time! We had a cancellation for another sitter and she was able to watch him on short notice. He loved running around with her kids and other dogs. He was very happy and tired when we took him home. She sent pictures and videos every day while we were gone, which I loved! We would definitely recommend her and we will be reaching out for future stays😊”
“Audrey did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Buoy. She made sure he had everything he needed to feel comfortable and at home. Between the walks, ball throwing, and plenty of cuddle time, it truly felt like he had just as much of a vacation as we did. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and I couldn’t ask for more. I would absolutely trust Audrey to watch Buoy again!”
“We left our dog with Ashlan for 10 days and our dog did so well. Ashlan gave us regular updates, gave her love, and took her on walks. Upon meeting Ashlan you can immediately tell she is a true animal lover. I will be using Ashlan every time we go out of town!”
“I could just tell when i walked in the door that bowie was going to be well taken care of. My puppy usually has a hard time when we leave her at a boarding house. She doesnt eat much, and barks all night but not this time! She didn't lose weight, slept and got all kinda of walks and cuddles and I got to relax on my trip because I could tell she was happy and relaxed! Definetely going back thank you so much Meagan!!!”
“Leesa did such a great job of caring for our dog. We felt very comfortable leaving Bodie with her. She is very loving and attentive to Bodie. Overall, a very good experience .”
“Hailey always goes above and beyond to make sure my 2 year old German Shepherd has the best time! She was also very flexible with pick up/drop off and extended days last minute! She’s the best :)”
