“Julie, Ben and kids provided excellent care for our dog while we were out of town! Leading up to our first out of town visit, Ted had day visits to ease into the 5 day stay. Each time we pulled up he would jump out of the car and dart right into their home ♥️ For comparison, when we bring him to the vet he cowers in the car and we have to carry him in bc he refuses to walk. I have no doubt he was in excellent care and I’m so grateful we found this family for Ted. We will definitely be coming back!”
“Leaving Mabel with Brooke for the first time felt so comfortable. She treated Mabel as her own and Mabel was happy to have the company of her dogs. We received updates along her stay and you could always see Mabel looked quite at home. Brooke’s updates let us know Mabel was loved and cared for while we were away. So glad we found Brooke!”
“Mckenzie was great and Sukha had a great time! Our plans changed unexpectedly and she was very flexible in accommodating the change to help us while we worked out the logistics to get home.”
“I couldn’t be more grateful for Emily! I booked her last minute, and she went above and beyond in every way. She walked my dog daily, sent tons of updates and photos, and truly treated my dog like her own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was in such caring hands. I will absolutely be booking with her again—anyone would be lucky to have Emily watch their dogs!”
“Great care. Krista always keeps us updated on the day to day activities with short texts and several photos a day. Great choice for care if your dog enjoys company and playtime with other dogs as well!”
“Bowie was great with our French Bulldog. He took extra care for her during this past hot spell and sent daily updates and pictures. It is clear he is truly committed to the animals he cares for.”
“Julie & Chad took wonderful care of our Lancelot this weekend! He was so happy when we picked him up, and we could tell he really enjoyed his stay! They communicated and sent photos during the weekend, which we so appreciated!”
“Molly is the best! For the first time I left my small shy dog with her for five days and four nights. He did very well! She was very flexible and adapting to his schedule and needs. And thanks to her nice lab, Eddie, for making my Ziggy feel at home.”
“I asked Barbara to babysit for the first time and it went great. She gave updates and pictures. I really appreciated this. I will definitely be asking Barbara for future babysitting gigs!”
“can't say enough about the care that my dog Moose got from KiirstenC while I traveled over the holiday. ! It was our first experience with Rover. Moose was well fed, played with, snuggled, and truly loved by Kiirstenn and her family. She sent me texts and pictures while I was gone updating me on his activities. Moose is a Shih Tzu, Kiirsten's dog is also a Shih Tzu. She gets us! I can honestly say that I did not worry about Moose all the while I was gone. I would call upon Kiirsten to leave Moose with whenever I need to travel again, knowing he is loved and well taken care of when I cant be with him.”
“Charlie was great to work with! Ahead of our booking he took care to ensure that my dogs were comfortable at his place and with his dog, and was careful to ask about their behaviors and habits. I felt I was leaving my dogs in good hands, and I was proven right! He even helped me out in a pinch when I forgot to pack a day’s worth of food. I would recommend his services to anyone. Great communication and good care!”
“Good communication and friendly. Our dog was happy and well-cared for. He also spent time with two kids in the house, and they were very respectful of him; playing and loving on him.”
“Soooo great to have Jessica and Grant's good care when I went on vacation. They are fun, friendly and great to work with. My dog came home happy and I LOVED the pix and updates. Thank you! I'll definitely reach out again!”
“Anika took wonderful care of my nervous pup Freddy! I loved the pictures and updates throughout his stay and it felt so good to be confident that Freddy was so well taken care of while I was away. Freddy will definitely be staying with her again in the future!!”
“Jessie was great! She watched my two dogs Violet and Kala and they had a great time and got lots of snuggles. She gave me updates and pictures everyday which really helped put me at ease while I was away.”
“Rikki & Daniel were great! My dog Stella stayed at their house over a weekend and must have had a good time since she was pooped when we picked her up. Rikki was easy to coordinate with and response time was always quick!”
“Professional, personable and positive! River does an incredible job caring for dogs and it's evident in everything she provides from start to finish! I'm so pleased with the level of care my three pomeranians received under her care and would book again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
“My dog loved his stay with Saniya. He came back pooped from playing with her dog all weekend. She sent updates and pictures so I knew my dog was safe and happy. I plan to rebook with her soon!”
“Holly provided exceptional care for our dog Cali over a week-long trip. Cali has difficultly with transitions and being in new spaces without us, but it was clear Holly provided a very safe and loving home away from home for her—going well above and beyond to make sure she was pampered. We are so grateful for Holly in our lives and would highly recommend her.”

“Hannah was very patient and communicative caring for our 3 cats over the Christmas holiday. We are very grateful for her help and professional care and the love she gave the kitties!”
“Great sitter, came by every day to check on my cat and made sure there was always food and water. My car is normally a bit shy but started to be more social after the 1st day which was good to see”
About: Hi there! My name is Arielle; I care a lot about kitties & their wellbeing & I get a lot of joy from being around them. I've grown up with cats my whole life, and now that I'm out on my own I have one myself (Mr. Pickles, a rescue I adopted this year & I'm pretty sure he's my actual son). I work for a pet food company full-time and am able to work from home several days a week (always Mondays and Fridays, and sometimes more). It would be my pleasure to keep your feline friend company and cared for during the day when you can't be with them! I'm available for drop-in visits the days that I am home, or outside of work hours, and on the weekends. Additionally, my own cat is a special guy with a lot of health needs, and thus I am very sympathetic towards and happy to help out with any health-related needs your companion may have! I'm also extremely patient and understand that a cat's trust is something that is earned (I pride myself in achieving belly exposure status). I look forward to discussing how I can help provide your pet with the best care possible while you are out!
“Rachel was a fantastic sitter for our two cats. She was extremely understanding and paid great attention to the details for their care. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable sitter.”
“Anna continues to be the best pet sitter you could ask for. She's punctual, kind, follows complex directions well. My girls absolutely adore her, and were so excited to have Anna visit at our new apartment! If you need a worry free stay out of town, Annas got you covered. She even does odd tasks like cleam my cats goopy crusty eyes when I can't be there to do so.”
About: Hi - I'm Caitlin, and cats were my first love! I grew up with indoor and outdoor cats throughout my childhood, and there is something special about winning over a cat's love! I've been an active foster with Pet Haven for over a year, and my experience goes well beyond "I like cats." In the past, I've fostered kittens, seniors, shy, and anxious cats, as well as medical cases (including animals who needed daily medication and close health monitoring). I know the difference between a cat who needs space to decompress and one who's genuinely distressed. I know how to earn trust with a shy animal without forcing it. And I know when something seems off. My home is quiet, adults-only, without resident pets (though I will still be occasionally fostering, and may have an overlapping Rover dog boarding) which makes it a lower-stress boarding environment. Cat needing more decompression time get their own dedicated space to settle in on their own terms. I offer overnight boarding, drop-in visits, and in-home sitting. If your cat has medical needs, anxiety, or is just particular, that's not a dealbreaker. The joy of earning a cat's trust is truly unparalleled!
“Jennifer gave lots of loving care to my cat while I was away for a week. I would often get pictures of them snuggling and seeing him play happily with his favorite toy. When I arrived back home, my cat seemed happy and was doing well. I’d recommend Jennifer as a cat sitter anytime :)”
“Christina is the BEST. She went above and beyond for our cat Nim & formed a strong bond with him. He absolutely loves her and Christina is def our new go to sitter. She gave the most detailed updates, gave him his meds & we can tell how much she loved our cat. Thank you so much Christina ❤️ Nim can’t wait to see her again.”
“Shannon is the best! She truly cares for your pets and it’s such peace of mind. She spends extra time giving cuddles which is all we want! Highly recommend her.”
“Ben took care of Scotia like she was his own cat. She was relaxed and calm when we got home after several days, and I know it's because he had a calming effect on her and took amazing care of her. I will definitely rebook with Ben when the time comes to travel next!!”
“Brooke took WONDERFUL care of my Roo! She is an excellent, considerate communicator, sending detailed updates of Roo’s activities. Roo was happy and relaxed when I returned. THANK YOU, BROOKE!!!”
“Lauren was great to work with and very communicative! We felt comfortable with her taking care of our cat, Beau, and will definitely book again if we need help in the future. We loved all the pictures we received too!”
“Carla for a great job keeping in touch and consistently coming in to check on Daisy. Getting everything set up with her went smoothly and she was great at communicating. Daisy was well taken care of while I was gone, which gave me peace of mind. Carla is a great pet sitter!”
About: Animal lover here, excited to care for your pup! I have experience with many breeds and can't wait to share adventures on our time together! I work 8-5 mainly with a shorter workday Friday. I have weekends off and I am looking to spend some time keeping your animals company. Typically don’t have a long lunch, but can potentially be flexible if needed. Grew up with dogs around me and have plenty experience watching peoples pets. Love following list of needs so they feel most comfortable when they aren’t with their parents!

“So, i was pretty nervous to leave my precious, sick, 4-month-old furbaby with an internet stranger. But we had good conversations beforehand and he had lots of good reviews. Well, the reviews are well deserved! Puppy had a fine time. Howie (and his wife) clearly took great care of her! Would definitely book again. I just need to figure my schedule out.”
“Emilie was so good to my dog, Walter. I felt really comfortable leaving her with him for the whole day. She sent tons of pictures of him while I was at work and said he played all day -- which was perfect! I'm definitely going to be rebooking in the future. :-) Walter was pooped once we got home.”
“Joe was amazing! My dog, Chocolate Chip, loved him and his sweet dog Henry. Joe gave me so many great tips as a first-time dog owner and was incredibly accommodating with my work schedule. I felt completely at ease knowing Chip was in such good hands. We will definitely be booking with Joe again soon!”
About: I've cared for over 15 different dog breeds since I was 10 years old, from high energy hunting dogs to cozy lap snugglers. Friends and family have trusted me with their beloved pets for years. With 8 years in animal welfare, I understand behavior and emotions, including noise fears, nervousness with new people, leash reactivity, shy/timid, resource guarding, seniors, puppies, and special needs pets. I also care for cats of all personalities independent explorers, playful toy lovers, and devoted snugglers. My goal is to give your pet a safe, loving, stress free home where they feel truly cared for while you're away. Each dog in my care receives personalized attention and love. For daycare and boarding, I limit to two dogs at a time to ensure quality care while they are in a new environment. When house sitting in your home, I can happily care for up to four dogs, keeping everyone safe, comfortable, and happy in their own home. I’m happy to provide photo updates, and our home is fully prepared for play, rest, and supervision. I’m home during the day, which allows me to provide pets with consistent attention, companionship, and enrichment. Every pet in my care enjoys a healthy balance of play, mental stimulation, walks, and quiet time to rest and recharge. Evenings are cozy and relaxed, filled with gentle supervision and snuggles, so pets feel safe, happy, and loved from morning to night. I have a fully fenced yard with secure gate locks to keep pets safe, and I’m happy to make adjustments using leads or harnesses for curious or adventurous pups. I also maintain an up-to-date list of urgent care and emergency veterinary clinics throughout the metro area for added peace of mind. Potential clients are always welcome to schedule a video home tour to see the setup and environment their pet would be in. My home allows for kenneling if needed, and I can provide large and extra large crates. I also offer separate spaces for feeding time and am located near several nearby parks for walks. For cats, I can provide a quiet, separate space if they need time to decompress. In addition to care in my home, I also offer house sitting so pets can remain comfortable in their own environment and routines. I’m located about 15 minutes from MSP Airport, which many traveling pet parents find convenient for drop-off and pick-up. Street parking is available in the area, and rideshares to the airport are typically around $20.
“Jessie took great care of our senior dog! She was very responsive and easy to get in touch with. She sent detailed updates throughout the day and lots of cute photos!”
“Jody takes amazing care of my pup. She is very diligent and caring, and has gone above and beyond for Roma when she has been sick. I trust Jody and continue to bring my dog for regular pet sitting. Jody is great.”
“River is amazing! Easy going, flexible, and took great care of my little man. He crashed as soon as he got into my car. Can’t wait for him to have another fun day there on Sunday!”
“Great experience having Robert watch my pup - highly recommended, especially for a high-energy dog. Will definitely be coming to him in the future when I need someone to take care of her while I'm in Minneapolis.”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life, ranging in sizes from mini - extra large! I have always had a love for taking care of dog and I would love to meet yours! I am a volunteer for No Dogs Left Behind- that is where we rescued our Willy boy from! We also temporarily foster from time to time. If there are any commands or simple trainings that you would like for me to work on, I am happy to. I have a very flexible work schedule that allows me too plan my day around your dogs needs! My typical day consist of breakfast and potty 7-8am, Midmorning playtime/ potty, 2-3pm lunch then potty, 4:30pm playtime/ walk, 7pm dinner, 8pm night walk. I live on a first floor apartment with a partially fenced in backyard, making it easy to let your fur baby out to play and potty as much as needed! I know how scared it is to leave your furry friend for the day and or a long trip. I will assure you that my household is a welcoming, fun, and calming environment! I live about 10 minutes away walking to the lake of the Isles dog park (if you are comfortable with it) and have the Greenway 200 feet away for great walks and sniffs. My dog William, the love bug, gets along great with all breeds and sizes.
“Our dog had a great first time visit with Jen! He had lots of other dogs to play with, and I appreciated all the photos and videos Jen shared with us throughout the day. A successful first Rover booking!”
“Marisa did a great job handling three-month-old Basie’s first time away from his home and family. She even took the time to do a meet-and-greet between her dog and Basie ahead of time to make sure they would get along together. She also made sure that Basie had fun and got to do some safe exploring and socializing. I would definitely feel comfortable having her look after Basie in the future.”
“Absolutely incredible experience. Celia was easy to communicate with and sent me pics of my pup throughout the day. I would love to book again - highly recommmend”
About: The Best Part of Both Our Days After 20+ years in the corporate design leadership world, I am soft retiring and putting my reliability, commitment and energy into helping others and bringing happiness to their pets. With 10 years of dog walking and pet sitting experience, I don’t just show up. I show up for your dog, on their terms. Every dog is different, and I believe in honoring that. Whether your pup likes to stop and sniff every inch of the sidewalk or prefers a brisk, energetic stride, I walk at their pace because a great walk isn’t about the distance, it’s about the experience. I’m comfortable walking multiple dogs at a time, making sure every single one enjoys their walk, gets the attention they deserve and takes care of their business. From the energy of a curious puppy to the gentle needs of a senior dog, I understand that every stage of life comes with its own needs and I embrace all of them with patience and care. But it doesn’t stop at the leash. I genuinely love spending quality time with dogs, whether that’s a relaxed afternoon cuddle on the couch or an enthusiastic play session with their favorite toys. I take the time to learn what makes each dog feel happy, safe, and loved. When you book with me, you’re not just hiring a dog walker or pet sitter. You’re giving your dog their favorite part of the day and honestly, mine too. What I offer: •🐾 Dog Walking at your dog’s pace, never rushed •🏠 Pet Sitting calm, attentive and home-like •🎾 Playtime & Chill Visits toys, attention and all the love •🐶 Puppy & Senior Care patient, experienced and always attentive Your pet is family. I’ll treat them that way! I work a flexible part time schedule three days a week, which means I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. I’m happy to work around your routine and adjust my schedule to meet your dog’s needs because your peace of mind matters just as much as their happiness. Whether your dog is most comfortable in their own home or joining me at mine, they will always receive the same attentive, personalized care. At my place, they are welcomed into a calm, quiet home with a fully fenced yard and a friendly 5 year old 25lb Australian Labradoodle who loves making new friends. Your dog’s comfort and happiness always comes first, wherever that may be.
“Paul and Teri are the absolute best! They’ve taken care of Rosie twice now and have been so sweet and accommodating. Rosie has a hard time getting used to men and Paul is very patient and sweet with her. I can tell it’s a good day when she comes home exhausted from playing! thank you both very much!”
About: I've had family pets since I was a little girl which adds over 15 years of experience to my repertoire. I have cared for friends and family dogs through walks, baths, and everything in between. Most recently, my roommate and friend got a puppy who is now a full grown doggo! I have taken care of him alongside her, so know how to handle puppies as well. He is like my own dog! I work from home, and am available all day and can always find time after work and on weekends, as long as I have free time and am around on weekends. I have a great work-life balance to fit in dog-sitting and care. Feel free to ask me questions! I live in a spacious apartment in South Minneapolis, with lots of walkability near-by. There is one dog in our apartment, Arlo, who is the sweetest and easiest yellow lab. I currently house-sit regularly for one family and have lots of experience with a variety of animals, such as dogs, cats, chickens, and fish. I can also crate your dog with provided crate. I will listen to your needs and goals to make you and your dog comfy and happy!

About: Need someone that loves your dog like you do? I can help! :) I’ve been an animal lover my whole life! I bring a calm and understanding care to every fur friend I look after. I currently dog walk a sweet 5 year old Boxer-mix weekly, but I’m excited to add more animals to my schedule. I build a bond with the pets in my care and am always looking for ways to personalize my approach to best fit their needs! -I also volunteer weekly as an animal care assistant at the Animal Humane Society! I am working part-time so I have lots of time to spend with your pet! I am available on weekdays for walks & drop-ins! I would love to meet your fur friend🐾 Making sure your pet feels comfortable is my top priority! I take the health and safety of the pet in my care very seriously. Ensuring that they receive their regular feedings times, potty breaks, medications, walks, play-time etc.! Aside from usual clean-ups (accidents/messes), I also do my best to tidy up as I go.
“Kiirsten was absolutely amazing with our process! She was kind, attentive, and made sure she got plenty of exercise and love. We received updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Darwin is incredibly reliable, and they work very well with our pup Sage. We have been able to rest easy during the work day (and check our pet camera less!), because we know Sage is in good hands with Darwin. They have even taken some time during our booking to reinforce training with Sage!”
“Iris was fantastic! She was able to help out last minute, even though we had never met before, and she immediately put me at ease. She showed up right on time, took great care of Tussey, and sent plenty of pictures during the walk. It was such a relief knowing Tussey was in good hands. Highly recommend and will definitely book with her again!”
About: Hi, I'm Caitlin! Being a pet parent is special, and I genuinely understand what it means to trust someone with your pet. I lost my 15-year-old dog last year, and that kind of loss changes how you see pet care, and it's exactly why I take this seriously. Every animal in my home gets real attention, a consistent routine, and the kind of care I'd want for my own. My home is a calm, adults-only environment with a fully fenced yard to ensure safe outdoor time, and my neighborhood is a quiet tucked away pocket near Cedar Lake. While I try to board pets only from the same home, there can at times be exceptions (mostly holidays). While my main living area is on one level, there are stairs required to get into the home via the front door. I also welcome & love cats. I've been fostering through Pet Haven for over a year, so I understand what a cat actually needs in a new space (spoiler: it's not just food and good vibes), and how to introduce pets to a decompression space and other pets they are not familiar with. I keep my roster intentionally small so I can give every animal genuine attention, not assembly-line pet care. You'll get photos and updates throughout, so you can actually enjoy your time away. If you want someone who treats your pets the way you would, please send me a message! I'm currently in between jobs, which means I have maximum flexibility for mid-day walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I only confirm stays I can genuinely support. I build the routine around the pet to the best of my ability. I'll ask you what your animal's schedule looks like at home and do my best to mirror it. I know consistency matters! I treat communication as part of the service. You won't wonder how your pet is doing. At my home: As often as possible I try to start every stay with a meet-and-greet so your pet arrives already familiar with the space and with me. I'll ask you in advance about their routine (feeding schedule, walk preferences, any quirks or triggers) and I follow it to the best of my ability. My home is calm, adults-only, and has a fully fenced yard for dogs. For cats, I set up a dedicated decompression space so they can settle in at their own pace. I typically do not take overlapping bookings unless the pets are from the same household, but there are sometimes exceptions. At your home: I follow whatever directions you leave. I'll send photo updates so you know things are normal, and I'll flag anything that seems off rather than wait until you're home. For cats especially, in-home sitting is often the lower-stress option, and after a year of fostering, I know how to read a cat who's fine versus one who isn't.
“Kiah has been a great weekly dog walker. We liked having a meet-and-greet prior to booking. She has great communication and accommodates for our preferences (ie: gentle leader, dog shoes, etc). We would highly recommend her services!”
“Can’t recommend enough! Carla has been super great with Gertie. She has been flexible, communicative, and has been open to help when there’s been last minute scheduling changes. Thank you, Carla!”
About: I currently have a 5 month old Aussie who loves walks and other dogs. I fostered puppies all throughout college, from bottle feeding to sending them to their forever homes. I grew up with an English bulldog. I just moved to MN for my husbands job, I take my pup for a walk at least twice a day if not more! I’m available pretty much all day everyday. I can take your dog for a run, walk, or to the dog park! I will ensure they are comfortable before seeing any other dogs and make sure they are leashed.
About: I have been caring for pets since I was a child, providing them with food, ensuring their environment is clean, and attending to their needs. My responsibilities have included feeding, cleaning up after them, taking them on walks, engaging in playtime, and offering affection and comfort. I am passionate about creating a nurturing and loving environment for pets. I am currently seeking part-time work and would love the opportunity to care for pets full-time, as it’s something I’m truly passionate about. I am available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I provide tailored care for pets based on their individual needs, whether in my home or a client's home. I ensure pets are fed on schedule, have clean water, and receive appropriate exercise through walks or playtime. For dogs, I ensure they get plenty of outdoor time and mental stimulation, and for cats, I make sure their litter boxes are kept clean and they are given affection and entertainment. I always prioritize safety and comfort, creating a calm, welcoming environment for the pets I care for. I also follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owner to ensure the pet feels at ease while in my care.
“Grace is so professional, and does above and beyond the required dog walking duties. She’s stepped in during off times, dropped off a “sample” to the vet’s office, and is giving my pup, needed training. She’s the best!”
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats my entire life, and can’t think of anything more joyful than having animals around to play with and love on. I work full time from home, and have flexibility to take lots of breaks during the day. We love going on walks, hikes and have two children who also love to help out! We are set up with a crate and/or dog beds if needed, as well as all the other gear that goes along with having furry friends around.

About: I have had dogs and cats in my life since i was born. i trained my dog since she was 10 weeks and she wound up having very good recall and other skills like “touch” and “kennel”. she crossed the rainbow bridge 2 years ago and i’ve been needing some dog time since. she was very reactive and anxious at times so i have a very firm grasp on dog body language, and how to make them feel safe and comfortable. i have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes and am always happy to help with training and maintaining skills. I work night shift in the ER so depending on the day I’m either sleeping during the day or up later in the day. On my days off i’m usually free between 12pm and 11pm. On the days I work I’m free usually between 4pm and 9pm. I work every other weekend and alternating weekdays. I love making any pets feel comfortable and safe, and I do this by paying attention to their body language and the messages they’re sending me. I make sure my pets are well fed, well exercised, and feeling content with their living situation.
“Paul picked up Abby right on time, and reported that her walk and play time with Nessie went splendidly. The pictures were a great addition. We schedule a redo this week.”

“Julie, Ben and kids provided excellent care for our dog while we were out of town! Leading up to our first out of town visit, Ted had day visits to ease into the 5 day stay. Each time we pulled up he would jump out of the car and dart right into their home ♥️ For comparison, when we bring him to the vet he cowers in the car and we have to carry him in bc he refuses to walk. I have no doubt he was in excellent care and I’m so grateful we found this family for Ted. We will definitely be coming back!”
“Mckenzie was great and Sukha had a great time! Our plans changed unexpectedly and she was very flexible in accommodating the change to help us while we worked out the logistics to get home.”
“Julie & Chad took wonderful care of our Lancelot this weekend! He was so happy when we picked him up, and we could tell he really enjoyed his stay! They communicated and sent photos during the weekend, which we so appreciated!”
“Our dog Rio had a BLAST with Rachelle and Dan. They were very detailed oriented when it came to Rio’s special needs. They also sent the perfect amount of updates and pictures throughout the stay. Definitely will book again!”
“Molly is the best! For the first time I left my small shy dog with her for five days and four nights. He did very well! She was very flexible and adapting to his schedule and needs. And thanks to her nice lab, Eddie, for making my Ziggy feel at home.”
“Ashlie and her family was able to take care of my giant baby for a week. It was his first time away from me and I was worried as well. But as Ashlie shared updates everyday it helped me feeling relieved and I could enjoy my time away from home. They have a big fenced yard and a senior dog which I felt was a good experience for my puppy as he was afraid of older dogs before meeting him. I could see them cuddling in the pictures and I feel he really enjoyed his stay with them.”
“Charlie was great to work with! Ahead of our booking he took care to ensure that my dogs were comfortable at his place and with his dog, and was careful to ask about their behaviors and habits. I felt I was leaving my dogs in good hands, and I was proven right! He even helped me out in a pinch when I forgot to pack a day’s worth of food. I would recommend his services to anyone. Great communication and good care!”
“Soooo great to have Jessica and Grant's good care when I went on vacation. They are fun, friendly and great to work with. My dog came home happy and I LOVED the pix and updates. Thank you! I'll definitely reach out again!”
“Brenda & family were amazing with Aspen. Aspen felt right at home and happy. I received regular updates and knew she was well taken care of. Highly recommended.”
“Anika took wonderful care of my nervous pup Freddy! I loved the pictures and updates throughout his stay and it felt so good to be confident that Freddy was so well taken care of while I was away. Freddy will definitely be staying with her again in the future!!”
“Jessie was great! She watched my two dogs Violet and Kala and they had a great time and got lots of snuggles. She gave me updates and pictures everyday which really helped put me at ease while I was away.”
“Catherine was excellent with our dog Misiu! She was incredibly attentive, and sent lots of photos and videos throughout our vacation. She allowed him to snuggle with her in bed, which he’s used to. That was very much appreciated. We will definitely rebook with Catherine. Misiu was a happy boy the entire time, we weren’t missed 😆”
“Courtney was an amazing pet pal to my Pomeranians! They were well taken care of, and she was so nice to share updates and photos throughout their stay. She even took extra care when one of them made a mess in the kennel and washed the bedding all fresh and clean — above and beyond! She is a keeper!”
“Rikki & Daniel were great! My dog Stella stayed at their house over a weekend and must have had a good time since she was pooped when we picked her up. Rikki was easy to coordinate with and response time was always quick!”
“Professional, personable and positive! River does an incredible job caring for dogs and it's evident in everything she provides from start to finish! I'm so pleased with the level of care my three pomeranians received under her care and would book again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
“We are truly grateful for Sarah and all that she did for Lilly. She managed Lilly’s anxious temperament and unique medication regimen so responsibly. We couldn’t recommend her more. She sent lots of updates with photos while we were away and that was so kind of her. We hope to have her take care of Lilly in the future!”
“My dog loved his stay with Saniya. He came back pooped from playing with her dog all weekend. She sent updates and pictures so I knew my dog was safe and happy. I plan to rebook with her soon!”
“Thank you Kristen and Nels and family for taking great care of Pearl! Great communication and updates throughout her stay. I look forward to having her in their care when future trips or stays come up. Thanks again!”
“Emily and Brian were amazing. They took great care of our 7 month puppy, Marley, and kept us updated with pictures regularly. We will couldn’t be more grateful!”
