“When we found ourselves in a pickle, we turned to Rover to find a trustworthy, dog educated person to watch our female GSD Stiorra. Not only were we searching last minute but we needed someone who was comfortable and had experience with females in heat. Ofcourse our girl would go into heat when we have nonrefundable tickets. Haha! I put our situation out to a couple different sitters on Rover. Kaylee was the first to respond and had such enthusiasm that I knew she was our person! She assured me that she had experience with females in heat and with doggy diapers. We did a meet and greet and the rest is history! Stiorra had a blast. Kaylee treated her as if she was her own. And Stiorra found a new friend in Oliver the great dane. I can't express how thankful I am to have found Kaylee. We look forward to having her watch Stiorra again!”
“Ellie was amazing! We had a last minute trip come up as well as cancelled flights and she was so kind through all the changes. She made sure we felt comfortable with Ember’s first stay there. Even though Ember was there for only one night, she came home tired and happy which showed how much Ellie played with her and gave her attention. 100% recommend Ellie for any dog sitting needs!”
“Our dog Charlie loves this family!! They treat him like one of their own and give him the best care we could possibly ask for. We will use them time and time again! :)”
“Tyke seemed to have a wonderful time based on the expressions on his face in the pictures she sent daily. He has been stress free since returning home. I hope to have Tyke stay again when we come to visit Michigan.”
“My dog Stella stayed with Julie for over 2 weeks while I was on a trip overseas. I arranged the stay just a few days before I left and was happy to find someone I could trust so quickly. Stella was taken care of very well, she looked very comfortable in the pictures I received and I picked her up healthy and happy. She even found some new playmates during her stay. I will gladly book another stay with Julie should the need arise.”
“Anne was great with Murphy! He stayed for a week and I received picture and status updates daily. Murphy was well taken care of and he loved playing with their dog as well. I would definitely request Anne to watch Murphy anytime we needed a sitter. She is highly recommended!”
“Beth did a great job caring for Finley. He came home happy and exhausted! He enjoyed the freedom of her fenced in yard and also snuggles with Beth. He made new friends in the other dogs Beth was caring for, and Beth did a great job making sure they all got along well. Beth was flexible and communicated well both before and during Finley's stay. We would definitely have Finley stay with Beth again in the future!”
“Leia loved staying with Pamela! Pamela was excellent at communication before the stay and during, sending daily pictures and updates. She had a warm and inviting home and you could feel her love and care for dogs. She even sent Leia home with some homemade dog treats! We will definitely book her for future stays!”
“Katy took good care of our dog, Shadow. She sent us pictures and gave us daily updates. She has a nice fenced in backyard and two sweet dogs to play with. We would definitely leave Shadow with her again!”
“Luke and his family were exceptional! He was incredibly flexible with accommodations. We were able to leave Rosie and Loki with him in complete confidence that they would be taken care of, and provided daily photos and updates. I would highly recommend!”
“Frances and her family took such great care of our puppy while they had him for the weekend. We had never left him with anyone besides family before, so the text/photo updates really eased our anxiety about leaving him. I would definitely recommend Frances for anyone needing a dog-sitter!”
“My dog loves staying with Jenai & Sean so much so he wines now when we get close to their home. He comes back all smiles & tired from playing. Such a wonderful experience each time I don’t use anyone else. I highly recommend them!”
“Debra was absolutely amazing! She truly enjoys dog sitting and it showed thru her genuine excitement to care for our Goldendoodle after our meet-n-greet. It honestly felt like leaving our dog at Grandmas. She took our dog in on Christmas Day and even got him a present. She even shared some of her Christmas dinner ham with him (after asking for permission of course). Debra genuinely loves caring for dogs. She sends updates and photos throughout the day. We’ve never left our dog with a dog sitter before and she put us at ease after meeting with her. We couldn’t be happier with the care she gave our needy and active Goldendoodle. We HIGHLY recommend letting Debra care for your 4 legged child. She will give them all the love and attention they can handle.”
“Terry and his wife were excellent, they have the cutest house and a very big backyard for dogs to play or walk around. Tita (my dog) enjoyed her time with them, she seem so happy to be there when I picked her up. Thank you so much for giving her so much love. I will definitely rebook with them again.”
“Jacob and his family did a great job watching Freya! She was a bit more anxious than usual cause we had been traveling a lot, and they did a great job making sure she was comfortable and taken care of. You can tell that it's a dog loving family, and Jacob is really putting in the effort. Katherine's daily updates were also much appreciated. Highly recommend!”
“I am grateful to have found Clara! She was responsive and communicated with me before and throughout Olly's stay. I am appreciative of her kindness towards me and my pup. Her home kennel is clean and the dogs have a very comfortable place to rest after a fun day of playing!”
“Beth and Tracy were absolutely wonderful with Duke. Beth communicated often and took lots of pictures. They took wonderful care of our pup, which made us feel really good and allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation.”

I typically walk them once a day and allow them to get some fresh air at the park and get fresh air!
About: I have cared for dogs extra small to giant breeds, including those with special diets, missing limbs, medication requirements, and seizures. I send frequent picture updates in the app and I thoroughly read your pet's profile needs. I'm currently working part-time from home with a lot of availability. Pets free roam my open concept living space while I work on the computer within their sight. My yard is large AND HAS A FENCED ZONE ATTACHED TO THE HOUSE! My road is private and there is no traffic. I have a golden retriever who is very intuitive to other dog's special needs. He knows how to play gently, or not at all, with elderly, disabled, or small dogs. My small maltese is a couch potato that knows how to navigate around high energy and giant breeds. I can crate your pet if you desire. Located in a country setting just a few miles off the highway, midway between Kalamazoo/Portage - Grand Rapids/Byron Center and Holland/Allegan - Plainwell/Richland, -- and easily accessible by many neighboring cities and towns.

Pets are allowed on the furniture where cuddles are encouraged. Home is kept super clean and smoke free. Open concept home means your pet is always within sight and kept on the main level. A portion of the yard for pets is completely enclosed with a fence leading to an entry/exit of the home so that escape artists never have a chance. 😀

About: I’ve been working with animals most of my life. I started dog sitting when I was 13 years old. Then I continued my love for animals by working as a kennel worker at a vet clinic, I then went to schooling to become a dog groomer, I did that for 5 years and then decided I wanted to do more and began school to get my vet tech degree, I currently am in school and work as a vet assistant at a clinic in south haven. I have a German shepherd currently. I currently work full time during the day but have a 2 hour lunch in the afternoon and have weekends off. I have plenty of time to care for your pups on my free time. I follow your instructions to a tee, I have no issue with whatever demands you have for the care of your family member, I prefer walking on leashes and I also prefer a meet and greet before agreeing to sitting.
About: provide calm, dependable, and attentive care to help cats feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every cat has a different personality and comfort level, and I always take the time to let them adjust at their own pace while making sure they feel cared for and secure. As a pet owner myself, I know the level of patience, consistency, and attention that animals need each day. Some cats are playful and social, while others prefer a quieter environment and their own space, and I’m comfortable adapting to both. I make it a priority to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible by following feeding schedules, litter box routines, playtime, and any specific care instructions. I also have experience giving medications to pets through caring for my own animals, and I’m comfortable following detailed instructions when needed. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve also pet sat for family members and made sure their pets received plenty of attention, affection, and consistent care while they were away. What sets me apart is the level of patience, communication, and genuine care I provide. I treat every pet like family and always want owners to feel confident knowing their pets are safe, comfortable, and in good hands.

I am currently working very part time and would be available weekends or weekdays and also overnights. To give your dogs the best love and support I have a big yard but it is not fenced in so best to be on a leash at my house. I am also able to crate if need be.

“Dick and Deborah were amazing. Opie had so much fun in the 6 hours he was there, he was sleeping before we even got to the first stop sign. The whole family was so sweet to him and gave him so much lovin. If we ever need a dog sitter again in the GR area, they'll be the only sitters we'll use.”
“I had a last minute trip to Grand Rapids for work and spent time looking for the perfect fit to watch my 7 mo old puppy during the day. Once I came across Anne’s profile, I’d hoped for a good experience and let me tell you, Anne and her family were absolutely amazing! They were super attentive to my pup — taking him for walks, allowing him to play with their animals, and maintaining structure for him by encouraging rest time, and correcting his behavior. Every time I came to pick him up, he was so sad to leave and he was super excited to be back at their house each time I dropped him off! I can’t sing their praises enough, it means the world to me that they helped me in a pinch and that they did an exceptional job! Any time I return to the area, Anne will be my go-to everytime!”
“I couldn't have asked for a better sitter! Bob was able to pick up Edison from my hotel 20 minutes away from his house and watched him all day while I was working. What I got in return was a very happy and tired dog! Bob sent me updates throughout the day to let me know how Edison was doing, and with a large fenced-in yard my dog was able to roam free with the other dogs. I will definitely use Bob again if I'm staying in the Kalamazoo area and I would recommend you do too!”
“Excellent day care service. Very good people, nice clean home and yard. Animals are very well cared for. Service providers went above and beyond my expectations. Would definitely recommend and use again.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life! Not only my own dogs, but friends and neighbors dogs as well. I love animals and they love me. I am flexible and can adapt to serve your pets needs. I have great attention to detail and care for pets in a timely manner, feeding and walking consistently according to their normal schedule to avoid disrupting their routine. I know how tough it is to leave your pets, but I will give them love and care and send as many pictures as you’d like throughout their time with me.

About: I have taken care of puppies and big dogs. I have trained puppies and older dogs. I love to walk with dogs. I have also done potty training. I am a stay at home mom who loves animals and would like something to do during the summer with my kids. I can do it at any time I have a short yard that my dog runs in all the time. We go outside everyday and try to spend as much time in the sun. We love walks and going swimming.
About: I bring over 15 years of experience as a puppy trainer for Canine Companions for Independence, where I helped raise and train service dog puppies with structure, consistency, and patience. That experience gave me a deep understanding of obedience training, behavior development, socialization, and building trust with dogs of all temperaments. I’ve also had dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am. I’m comfortable reinforcing training, working with puppies, and providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets. I understand routines, communication, and the importance of making pets feel safe and secure while their owners are away. What sets me apart is reliability, experience, and treating every pet like family — with structured care, attention to detail, and consistent updates for peace of mind. As a stay-at-home dad, pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. During the school year, I have flexibility and availability throughout the day for drop-ins, walks, feedings, and check-ins. Summers are even more open, allowing me to offer consistent, reliable care with a flexible schedule. Because I’m home-based, I’m able to prioritize punctuality, routine, and communication. Pet care isn’t something I try to squeeze in — it’s something I can intentionally plan my day around to ensure your pets receive dependable, attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules carefully, provide exercise or playtime based on their needs, clean litter boxes or pick up waste promptly, and reinforce any household rules or training already in place. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I focus on consistency, patience, and attentiveness. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. With over 15 years of experience training puppies for Canine Companions for Independence and a lifetime of owning both dogs and cats, I’m highly observant of behavior and body language, ensuring your pet feels safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.
About: I have watched a multitude of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, lizards and even alpacas. I love training dogs and would gladly help train puppies and even older dogs. I am also experienced in giving medication to dogs and cats. I am on call for a doggy daycare so my schedule is completely free to pet sit any day other then Tuesdays from 3 until 6. Unfortunately I can't watch pets in my own home because I personally have a few pets of my own. I walk my dog every other day and bring him to the dog park on the opposite days and I will gladly walk your dogs every day or bring them to the dog park to play. I also have a cat of my own. My cat has a very sensitive stomach so I am used to cleaning messes and giving medication.
About: I provide dependable, attentive, and loving care so pets can feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. As a dog owner myself with 3 dogs of my own, I understand the level of patience, consistency, and attention that goes into properly caring for pets every day. I know that every dog has a different personality and energy level. Some dogs love staying active with walks and playtime, while others are happiest relaxing and getting cuddles and companionship. I make it a priority to adjust my care to each dog’s individual needs and routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I also have experience giving medications to dogs through caring for my own pets, and I’m comfortable following specific care instructions when needed. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve also pet sat for family members and made sure their pets received plenty of attention, affection, and consistent care while they were away. What sets me apart is the level of patience, communication, and genuine care I provide. I treat every pet like family and always want owners to feel confident knowing their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I’m a stay-at-home mom and already care for 3 dogs of my own each day. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide pets with consistent attention, care, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m currently available Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 8:00 AM–4:00 PM, as well as Saturdays and Sundays with open availability. I enjoy being able to give pets the time, patience, and attention they need while their owners are away and do my best to keep their routines as normal and stress-free as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make it a priority to keep their environment calm, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications, crate routines, and any other specific care needs to help pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that trust is extremely important when someone is allowing me into their home and trusting me with their pets. I treat every home with respect, keep things clean and organized, and make sure pets are supervised, safe, and getting plenty of attention and affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured knowing their pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away.
About: I pay close attention to each dog’s unique personality and needs — from high-energy adventurers who love long walks to gentle souls who just want cuddles and calm company. You can count on me for dependable communication, updates, and plenty of photos so you always feel connected and at ease. I’m currently working part time as a babysitter so my schedule is quite flexible. Tuesdays are taken up but outside of that I’m very flexible! I have a dog friendly home with an open back yard. All dogs will be leashed at all times whether in your home or mine. Dogs in my home are dog friendly as well!
About: I’ve been helping my parents raise dogs since I was around 10 years old, our first dog being a collie we rescued as she wasn’t being treated well with her initial owners. We took her in and got her cleaned up, took care of the fleas she had, found her a good diet, and gave her lots of love and attention through it all. We took her on camping trips, out on the water to go fishing, out on walks and to get pup cups at the ice cream shop, her favorite place being my granny’s house. Alongside her, we raised three more dogs when they were puppies, each one two years apart. 2 of them are Australian shepherds, and one is a husky, all girls and grew to form their own little pack, respecting each other’s place and playing happily in a big fenced in back yard. We supported our collie till her last breath as she was elderly, and even as she was so old, she always had her usual, laid back and quirky personality. Even now, I continue to help my parents take care of our dogs, as they’re not just pets, they’re our family, our fur babies, even in they’re old stages of life, they’ll always be our little babies in our hearts. So rest assured, your fur baby will be 110% safe and cared for with me, maybe even a bit spoiled! I’m currently looking into part time or less demanding full time jobs, and I’ll be actively looking until I land one, until then, I should be mostly free, and I’ll definitely keep my schedule updated as life moves forward and changes. As of now, I have appointments on Wednesday, I try to keep them consistent each week, but they’re subject to change due to scheduling. With specific instructions written on paper, I have no issues accommodating to your pet’s needs in your home! I’m respectful during visits in others homes, treating them as my own and keeping spaces clean and tidy. With proper cleaning tools, I can clean up accidents on hard surfaces or rugs, I may need a demonstration on how to use a specific cleaning machine or vacuum depending on how complicated it is. I’m not allergic to any animal, or any breed, so pet hair doesn’t bother me! If need be, I am able to administer oral medications with proper instruction and demonstration. On walks I make sure to keep dogs close to me and away from the road, I carry doggy bags, and on hot days, I’ll carry a little folded up bowl that I can poor water in, so your baby stays hydrated!
About: I have cared for dogs extra small to giant breeds, including those with special diets, missing limbs, medication requirements, and seizures. I send frequent picture updates in the app and I thoroughly read your pet's profile needs. I'm currently working part-time from home with a lot of availability. Pets free roam my open concept living space while I work on the computer within their sight. My yard is large AND HAS A FENCED ZONE ATTACHED TO THE HOUSE! My road is private and there is no traffic. I have a golden retriever who is very intuitive to other dog's special needs. He knows how to play gently, or not at all, with elderly, disabled, or small dogs. My small maltese is a couch potato that knows how to navigate around high energy and giant breeds. I can crate your pet if you desire. Located in a country setting just a few miles off the highway, midway between Kalamazoo/Portage - Grand Rapids/Byron Center and Holland/Allegan - Plainwell/Richland, -- and easily accessible by many neighboring cities and towns. Accepts last minute bookings and loves overnights and extended stays. Can accept multiple dogs and will accept only your dog(s), if you prefer, during your stay. I am home full time. Your schedule is followed to keep your pet comfortable. Pets are at ease with consistency and a calm environment where they enjoy play, cuddles, and lots of choices for comfortable naps. Pets are allowed on the furniture where cuddles are encouraged. Home is kept super clean and smoke free. Open concept home means your pet is always within sight and kept on the main level. A portion of the yard for pets is completely enclosed with a fence leading to an entry/exit of the home so that escape artists never have a chance. 😀
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and helped since I was little. I also worked at a on boarding/ doggy daycare business. I have 4 of my own. Been around all types. Open availability. Im available during the week and willing to work on the weekend besides for Mondays and Thursdays and every other Friday/ weekend for when I have my son. I have groomed and gave medicine.

About: I have had dogs my whole life! I love working with them and caring for them all! I am also able to train them to an extent! I am currently unemployed, I am available anytime, any day! Just let me know what you want or need and I am happy to help. I will care for the dogs in any way wanted or needed. In experience with my own pets I know all dogs and cats are different from another. I live out of the city in the woods and could easily crate if needed!
About: We have plenty of property for animals to run and play! And a large home that is welcoming to humans and animals! We have a dog, 2 cats, 2 bunnies and chickens! I only work a couple of hours each week so I have plenty of time and energy to play with your pet! We have a dog that also loves having friends come over! We treat our dog, cats and bunnies as members of the family and will treat your pets the same! We look forward to caring for your pets!
About: I've had animals since I was little and am comfortable and experienced with a wide variety of animals. I have two dogs and two barn cats and love spending time with as many animals as I can! I am the go to pet sitter among all our friends and have had many jobs watching dogs and cats. I have trained all my own animals as well as helping friends train theirs. One of my dogs is a senior and I have had experience with taking care of other senior pups! I have also had seasonal work on small hobby farms and have worked with animals including goats, chickens, ducks, donkeys, horses, sheep, alpacas and pigs. I'm available for day jobs, check in jobs, or watching your dogs in my home. I get home around 3:30 on Tuesday-Thursday and work from home on Monday's and Friday's so I have a lot of time to play with all the fur babies! My husband, who is also a dog lover, is home in the evenings and the weekends to also love on your pet and make sure they get all the attention they deserve and need! If you're boarding or doing daycare at our house, while we don't have a fenced yard, we have a full acre and have two friendly dogs that love playing with new friends and help keep them in our yard! I can also take dogs out on a leash if needed to keep them safe. We have plenty of space in our house to crate your pet or to give them their own space away from our dogs if they need a little break. I do require a meet and greet with my pups to make sure they are a good fit together! When taking care of pets in your home, I am able to bring one of my dogs to play if they work well together and if you want them to get a little extra energy out.
About: I’ve been a nanny before for 6 months, I’ve watched dogs for people on vacation. I really put my heart into it and care for animals and humans alike! I am active and love getting outside and playing with your pets or giving them special attention and love! I am pretty open and looking for it to be my full time job. I’d love to build relationships with my clients and prove that I’m a trustworthy and reliable animal watcher. I cuddle and pet my dogs, brush them every other day and bathe them around once a week, depending on how dirty they are. I typically walk them once a day and allow them to get some fresh air at the park and get fresh air!
About: I’ve been working with animals most of my life. I started dog sitting when I was 13 years old. Then I continued my love for animals by working as a kennel worker at a vet clinic, I then went to schooling to become a dog groomer, I did that for 5 years and then decided I wanted to do more and began school to get my vet tech degree, I currently am in school and work as a vet assistant at a clinic in south haven. I have a German shepherd currently. I currently work full time during the day but have a 2 hour lunch in the afternoon and have weekends off. I have plenty of time to care for your pups on my free time. I follow your instructions to a tee, I have no issue with whatever demands you have for the care of your family member, I prefer walking on leashes and I also prefer a meet and greet before agreeing to sitting.

“When we found ourselves in a pickle, we turned to Rover to find a trustworthy, dog educated person to watch our female GSD Stiorra. Not only were we searching last minute but we needed someone who was comfortable and had experience with females in heat. Ofcourse our girl would go into heat when we have nonrefundable tickets. Haha! I put our situation out to a couple different sitters on Rover. Kaylee was the first to respond and had such enthusiasm that I knew she was our person! She assured me that she had experience with females in heat and with doggy diapers. We did a meet and greet and the rest is history! Stiorra had a blast. Kaylee treated her as if she was her own. And Stiorra found a new friend in Oliver the great dane. I can't express how thankful I am to have found Kaylee. We look forward to having her watch Stiorra again!”
“Ellie was amazing! We had a last minute trip come up as well as cancelled flights and she was so kind through all the changes. She made sure we felt comfortable with Ember’s first stay there. Even though Ember was there for only one night, she came home tired and happy which showed how much Ellie played with her and gave her attention. 100% recommend Ellie for any dog sitting needs!”
“Our dog Charlie loves this family!! They treat him like one of their own and give him the best care we could possibly ask for. We will use them time and time again! :)”
“Tyke seemed to have a wonderful time based on the expressions on his face in the pictures she sent daily. He has been stress free since returning home. I hope to have Tyke stay again when we come to visit Michigan.”
“My dog Stella stayed with Julie for over 2 weeks while I was on a trip overseas. I arranged the stay just a few days before I left and was happy to find someone I could trust so quickly. Stella was taken care of very well, she looked very comfortable in the pictures I received and I picked her up healthy and happy. She even found some new playmates during her stay. I will gladly book another stay with Julie should the need arise.”
“Anne was great with Murphy! He stayed for a week and I received picture and status updates daily. Murphy was well taken care of and he loved playing with their dog as well. I would definitely request Anne to watch Murphy anytime we needed a sitter. She is highly recommended!”
“Beth did a great job caring for Finley. He came home happy and exhausted! He enjoyed the freedom of her fenced in yard and also snuggles with Beth. He made new friends in the other dogs Beth was caring for, and Beth did a great job making sure they all got along well. Beth was flexible and communicated well both before and during Finley's stay. We would definitely have Finley stay with Beth again in the future!”
“Leia loved staying with Pamela! Pamela was excellent at communication before the stay and during, sending daily pictures and updates. She had a warm and inviting home and you could feel her love and care for dogs. She even sent Leia home with some homemade dog treats! We will definitely book her for future stays!”
“Katy took good care of our dog, Shadow. She sent us pictures and gave us daily updates. She has a nice fenced in backyard and two sweet dogs to play with. We would definitely leave Shadow with her again!”
“Luke and his family were exceptional! He was incredibly flexible with accommodations. We were able to leave Rosie and Loki with him in complete confidence that they would be taken care of, and provided daily photos and updates. I would highly recommend!”
“Frances and her family took such great care of our puppy while they had him for the weekend. We had never left him with anyone besides family before, so the text/photo updates really eased our anxiety about leaving him. I would definitely recommend Frances for anyone needing a dog-sitter!”
“My dog loves staying with Jenai & Sean so much so he wines now when we get close to their home. He comes back all smiles & tired from playing. Such a wonderful experience each time I don’t use anyone else. I highly recommend them!”
“Debra was absolutely amazing! She truly enjoys dog sitting and it showed thru her genuine excitement to care for our Goldendoodle after our meet-n-greet. It honestly felt like leaving our dog at Grandmas. She took our dog in on Christmas Day and even got him a present. She even shared some of her Christmas dinner ham with him (after asking for permission of course). Debra genuinely loves caring for dogs. She sends updates and photos throughout the day. We’ve never left our dog with a dog sitter before and she put us at ease after meeting with her. We couldn’t be happier with the care she gave our needy and active Goldendoodle. We HIGHLY recommend letting Debra care for your 4 legged child. She will give them all the love and attention they can handle.”
“Jacob and his family did a great job watching Freya! She was a bit more anxious than usual cause we had been traveling a lot, and they did a great job making sure she was comfortable and taken care of. You can tell that it's a dog loving family, and Jacob is really putting in the effort. Katherine's daily updates were also much appreciated. Highly recommend!”
“I am grateful to have found Clara! She was responsive and communicated with me before and throughout Olly's stay. I am appreciative of her kindness towards me and my pup. Her home kennel is clean and the dogs have a very comfortable place to rest after a fun day of playing!”
“Daina & Samuel treated our pups so kindly! They gave them daily walks and plenty of playtime! My babies came back very happy. I am so thankful for Daina & Sam's love for animals as they are very patient, understanding and loving!”
“I am completely at ease when we leave our german shorthair pointer with this family. We get plenty of updates and it looks like Daisy gets plenty of playtime with their pet and plenty of attention from the humans. The second time we brought her there she ran right up to the house like she remembered the good memories she made there the last time.”
