“Jennifer was wonderful with our dog, Ringo! She took great care of him over the weekend, and he seemed so happy and well-loved when we picked him up. We’re really grateful for her care and would definitely trust her with Ringo again.”

“Our host was wonderful with koda bear, my German Shepherd. They took him on walks and even on a hike, which he absolutely loved. It was clear that koda bear was well cared for and had a great time during his stay. I appreciated the updates and the attention they gave him. He came home happy and tired from all the fun. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”

“Emma is extraordinary, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. Cleo got tons of snuggles, comfortable lounging time, and plenty of exercise. She got long walks on her favorite trails and playtime with Emma’s dog, Brody. Emma is very experienced and confidently handled Cleo’s personality quirks and occasional reactivity. She also sent detailed updates and absolutely gorgeous photos. I would trust her with Cleo again in a heartbeat.”

“Kenny and Michelle and family were such a pleasure to connect with. From the minute we dropped Hank off to pickup I could tell he was in excellent hands. Their two kids were so kind to Hank and I loved getting photos of him on walks. Hank is an older dog who takes medication for arthritis and I couldn’t have asked for a more supportive and gentle environment for him. I will definitely check their availability next time in Missoula.”

“Megan and Matt were friendly and very accommodating. Our dog enjoyed having canine buddies and a loving family to hang with while we were away.”


“Sophie had the best time. She played so much with the other dogs, she was pretty tired when she got home. Barbara sent me several great pictures of her time there which I really appreciated. Highly recommend using her.”

“Jennifer took awesome care of Ozzie and was great with communication and photos! He had a great time and came back very happy! Highly recommend Jennifer for your dog watching needs!”

“Andrea and her pup, Ruger, came through when we had an unexpected trip come up. She took care of our dog-girl with no issues at all. Would definitely use her again!”

“Tavia was great, good communication and followed our directions, with medications, etc. She sent communicated and sent pictures and we would recommend her and use her again.”

“Fantastic family to work with. So gentle with my Emma! Will rebook. They have a beautiful, serene setting. So gentle with my obstinate dog. Worked with me on my times to drop off and pick up.”

“Nicole did a wonderful job watching my little guy while I was out of the country! I was very nervous to leave him as he is wary of strangers and has had a past history of being an escapist but Nicole instantly put me at ease our first meeting. You can tell right away what a dog lover she is and she was so patient trying to make my little man feel at ease. Nicole kept in touch with me every day she had my pup and I never worried about him for a second! Will definitely use her again in the future!”

“Teresa's home was a good place for Nessie, my husky, to stay. She has a nice backyard with tall fences to keep her contained, and our dogs did fine when greeting. Teresa sent photos which is always nice to see. I would use her again.”

“Carmen was so great with Sadie! She was so good at keeping me updated on how she was doing and sent photos to show me what they were up to. She took her out on adventures to exercise her. Her dog was very friendly and got along great with mine. Would highly recommend!”

“Memo was WONDERFUL! I have a two year old border collie who is extremely high energy. Memo really took the time, and went the extra mile to WEAR. HIM. OUT. She was very sweet with our dog, and took care of him as if he were her own. Memo seemed very intuitive to our dogs needs, and adjusted things so he would be more comfortable. Memo was very commutative, and gave wonderful pupdates! Our dog had a freaking blast, and I'm extremely grateful we booked with Memo. 10/10 would recommend!!!”

“Our older dog was well taken care of by Ellen. We received cute updates and quick communication. Would be happy to have her look after our Sidney again and Sidney would be happy to see her!”

“Danielle took great care of Sunny, was flexible with our schedule, and kept us updated! She made us feel very confident leaving Sunny with her and her sweet pup Leroy and I’d highly recommend her :)”

“Leah treated my dog Boo like a king. I couldn't have been happier about his stay with her, and neither could Boo. Leah's a great communicator-I received daily feedback of what they were doing, where they went, and reports on his behavior, how he got along with her dogs, and pictures(!). She has 2 dogs that were super playful and sweet with Boo. Leah was very careful to introduce our dogs first, which clued me in to how responsible and caring she is. While Boo was there, not only did he get to play in her yard and cuddle on the couch with her (um, he's 65 lbs and growing), she also took him on outings-including the dog island! I would definitely use Leah again and felt super comfortable about her taking care of my buddy. Highly recommended. Thank you Leah-from both of us! You're awesome!”


About: I have previously owned Labradoodles so I have 18 years of experience with high energy dogs. I also have experience in taking care of dogs who require extra medical care. I love to walk, hike and go for runs with dogs but most importantly, I can give them love and attention while you are away. I am retired and looking for the opportunity to assist you in the care of your furry friends while you are working and or traveling. I have flexibility in my schedule to accommodate your needs. I have a large fences back yard, with no pets of my own. At night I have a mud room for your dog to comfortably sleep in or if needed a pad to lay in a bedroom.

About: I have taken care of my cats and dogs my whole life and have house-sat at many places where I was responsible for them. I am familiar with older cats, and dogs with their medications such as pills, and insulin (my high school cat had feline diabetes). I have no problem with an accidents, poop scooping, litter box, pee pads, or anything potty-related. I have also had my fair share of aggressive cats and understand their needs may differ. Overall I am an animal fanatic and would love to take care of your furry baby!

“Maisie was so great! I felt very comforted that she was around to keep my kitty company. She gave great updates, played with him tons, and left my house very clean and tidy. Can’t wait to book with her again!”


“Thank you so much for looking in on the cats! The litter box room was much cleaner than expected and the cats were happy campers. Thank you for going above and beyond to bring in our Factor drop off.”


“Maya did such a great job making sure my cat was cared for while I was away! She also made sure to update me with how she was doing and went above and beyond to make sure everything was in order and I was in the loop. I would definitely recommend booking with her to make sure your animals are well cared for :)”


“Ryan did an amazing job taking care of my cat, Angel. She communicated well and promptly. I appreciated the pictures she sent of Angel during each visit while I was away. Thank you Ryan!”

“Needed a last minute daycare situation while on the road, Lauren’s place was perfect! My dog was able to play with a fun group of other dogs in a beautiful setting just outside of town. Thank you so much! Will def be back the next time we’re in the area!”

About: I have been caring for animals since pet sitting for my aunt and uncle’s 3 rowdy dogs as a teen, sometimes up to a month when they went on long trips. I also have cared for dogs of my own for most of my adult life and consider them to be members of the family. My current dog Ron has some special care needs which has taught me to be patient and sensitive to pups who need a little extra care and attention. I would love to welcome your furry buddy into our home and would treat them like another member of the family. I currently work from home so am able to give your pup lots of attention and exercise. I also am a very active person and love to frequent the local trails if that is something you would like for your pup. I have a fenced front and back yard and a dog door that can be locked if need be. I have multiple dog beds and also allow dogs on the furniture (I of course will not allow it if it’s a behavior you don’t want your dog to learn). Like I said, I consider them to be part of the family.
“Brianna was quick to respond to any message I sent,, she took my dog on a hike and tried her best to get all of his energy out. Thank you so much for accommodating Quinn last minute!”

About: Animals have been a constant in my life since childhood. I've loved and cared for many pets of my own - dogs, cats, ferrets, small animals, reptiles, birds, and fish - which has given me hands-on experience with everything from syringe feeding to crate, house, and litter box training to medical and senior care. I've fostered rescues, volunteered at the Humane Society, worked in pet stores, and looked after friends' and neighbors' pets many times over the years. I'm attentive, calm, and protective, with a deep respect for all living beings. When you trust me with your pet, you can count on them being safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I'm home throughout the week so pets in my care are never left unsupervised and get plenty of attention, interaction, and companionship. If there are any daytime hours where I may need to be away from home, that will always be communicated clearly with owners ahead of time during scheduling. I have two small dogs and a cat of my own, so I'm very mindful about maintaining a calm environment, always paying close attention to the comfort, boundaries, and safety of each animal. My one-level home has a fully fenced backyard where pets enjoy supervised outdoor time for play, exercise, and potty breaks. Pets in my care are treated like members of the family, and because I prioritize consistent supervision and safety, I do not offer off-property pack walks during boarding stays.
“Could not have a nicer kind hearted person as Danielle to watch our pup! She sent lots of updates and pictures! So happy we got a chance to meet her!”

About: Greetings! I've grown up with adopted dogs and have raised one from a puppy to adulthood. My entire home is open to pups (human beds and furniture), but will adhere to any rules you have in your home. My neighborhood has a lot of kids and other dogs around, as well as large common areas for running around. Can administer medication via treats or orally. Have experience working with dogs on- and off-leash, as well as in packs. Will be able to transport pups in a roomy vehicle all around town and beyond. My daily schedule is pretty flexible, and I'm open to hosting pups in my house or dropping in at the comfort of your pup's own home. Tell me all about your furry friend. Hoping I can meet you and your companion soon! I have a very sporadic work schedule, so I'm home frequently during the weekdays and weekends, and typically am only gone from the home for about 5 hours if I have to be somewhere. I'm able to accommodate frequent walk and bathroom break schedules, have experience taking multiple dogs in my car to hiking trails and other adventure areas. When I'm available to work, I'll frequently be with your pet throughout the day and overnight. While I do not have a fenced yard, I live in a quiet neighborhood with open grassy areas and safe sidewalks. Will frequently run into kids of all ages in the area, and they're very responsive to dogs of all temperaments. If in your home I'd like to know anything and everything to keep your pet safe and comfortable, if you have cameras indoors or outdoors, as well as anything else about your pet's routine.
About: Our beloved cockapoo passed away at 16 1/2 years in October. She was a big part of our family and we miss having a dog in the house! I’m currently not working and am very flexible! I’ve always loved dogs and they seem to love me too! I miss having that great doggie energy in my house! I do have a big yard, but it’s not fenced. However, I live in beautiful Grant Creek which has many options to safely walk a dog!
“Memo saved us by being available at the last minute and then exceeded our expectation for care! Brought our doggo on a walk to tire him out and was truly so loving and caring. Really appreciated all of the pictures. Wouldn’t hesitate to book next time we’re in town ☺️”

“Ben does an excellent job in caring for your pet! Our dog was walked daily and had the advantage of spending the day with Ben’s good natured dog. Stress free environment with plenty of attention throughout the day. I highly recommend Ben as a caregiver. Just don’t take our spot! Truly a great experience for our dog and helped us tremendously. Thanks Ben!!!”

“I had an excellent experience with Kenneth, who recently watched my dog, Arnie. Kenneth was incredibly flexible and accommodating with my schedule, which made everything so much easier. His kindness and genuine love for animals were evident from the start. He kept me updated with regular photos, showing how happy and well-cared-for Arnie was. I felt completely at ease knowing that Arnie was in such good hands. I highly recommend Kenneth to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

About: I have house sat and pet sat for going on 7 years in Washington, Montana and California- I’m experienced with all kinds of breedings and training as well. I have grown up with dogs and cats all my life and often prefer animals to people. I have watched over many animals since I was in high school and love watching over pups and cats of all kinds. I am currently working from home so there is plenty of time to attend to the doggies, I live right near the Clark Fork so a bonus if they enjoy water time! I live in a condo building steps away from a walking trail and the downtown area that provides lots of lovely strolling areas. The condo itself is quite large with a deck for the pups to relax on if they need some sunny time.
About: I have been caring for animals as long as I was old enough to have responsibility. I treat every animal with love and respect. I am happy to take care of special needs and high maintenance pets as well I currently work part time and I have free time during the day to make sure your pet has care and enrichment through the day. I currently have a pet free home so I would be able to bring your pet into my home without any conflicts of other animals.
“Megan is both responsive and responsible. She seamlessly folded my dog Emerson into her play time with her cute dog Cheddar. She sent several pictures to show that Emerson had a great day! I would definitely use Megan again if I need sitting in the Missoula area. Thanks Megan and Cheddar!”

“This was our first time using Rover and wow! Chico had a wonderful time, and Tavia kept us updated throughout the day with photos. We are so happy with Tavia and her communication. If we are ever back in the area, we will send our pup there again!”

“Alyssa was super easy to communicate with. I was glad Maizey got to spend the day running out her energy with Dolly. Maizey is definitely a handful, so it’s always good when she can get out some of that puppy energy.”

“Jennifer was great! My puppy loved hanging out with her and the other dogs. Perfect backyard for lots of playtime and fun. Loved all the videos and pictures she sent throughout the day. I will be using her again and would recommend to everyone else!”
About: I’m comfortable will pets of all sizes and breeds. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life (including horses and goats) and enjoy working with them. I work from home and attend classes virtually, so I can provide care at any time and ensure your loved one gets potty breaks, walks, and fed according to their needs and established routines. I am happy to provide other home care including watering plants, bringing in mail, setting out trash, and feeding and caring for livestock or hobby herds.

About: I grew up with dogs and love to include them on all my outdoor adventures. My husband and I have three daughters (ages 6, 4, and 1.5) that love dogs and cats just as much as us so we will need to have a meet and greet, but know your pups will have extra love from our munchkins (they know that all animals have boundaries and respect them and we will always be vigilant while everyone is together). A stay at our house will include lots of snuggles, hikes, and lots of play time with our sweet labs, Summit and Trapper. Contact me if you might be interested in using my services! Have a great day! I work from home full time so apart from picking up my girls from school daycare (both are only about five to ten minutes away), I am home all the time to be with your pup. I have a fenced yard and two happy, loving labs that will keep your pup company while at our home. They also would love to share the couch and numerous dog beds throughout our home!
“Brianna is such an AMAZING sitter / walker! She has been incredibly reliable, communicative and generous with my pups! She has been available to both overnight with my dogs as well as take them on walks and they have always come home happy and healthy! And they all love her dog too! She takes them on adventures and really cares for them. She is my go-to for trusted pet sitters! I highly recommend her!”

About: I am a responsible individual who will take wonderful care of your pets. I have experience pet sitting for individuals with large and small pets, including dogs and cats. I enjoy spending time outside, so taking your pets on walks and playing with them will help them burn their energy, settle their nerves, and enjoy their time with me. I am home for the summer from college, and I am looking for a job where I can take care of pets and spend time with them. I enjoy pet sitting and being able to take care of animals to hopefully allow them to be more comfortable while the owners are away. From my work over the summer, I am hoping to put my earnings back into my education when I move back to college in the fall. I will care for your pets by being engaged while exercising and playing with them, and keeping them on a leash if/when the pets are outside of the yard. In addition, I will always make sure the animals get their medications if necessary and have ample and suitable water and food for any time they are alone.
About: My kids and I are dog and cat lovers. We look forward to teaming up to care for your pet while you are away. I've had my own dogs for the last 18 years and they are beloved members of our family. We've had a wide variety of personalities in our own dogs, including some fosters who had experienced prior trauma, and I feel comfortable with caring for all types of dogs. We don't have any pet cats as I am allergic, but I used to volunteer for an animal rescue and care for foster cats up for adoption at Petco when we lived in North Carolina so my daughter (13) could get her kitty cuddles, and we would be happy to drop in on your cats while you are away. I will be responsible for your pet, and with your permission, my son (14) and/or daughter will be my apprentice(s) as they learn more about the responsibilities of pet care and earn some money for themselves. I work full-time from home during the week and can do a drop-in/walk during the day if you live within 5 miles of my home. I can do evening drop ins/walks and I am available with a wide range of flexibility over the weekends and some holidays. While caring for your pet I will be sure to respect and follow any instructions that are left for a successful drop in visit. I will take my time with your pet and make sure to keep you informed of your pet's well-being while you are away for peace of mind.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I primarily work with dogs and cats, but I’m happy to care for other animals too! I’ve grown up around animals and currently have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust. I take pride in giving every pet the same level of love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m experienced with all life stages—from playful puppies to senior pets—and I’m comfortable working with reactive or selective dogs. I also have experience providing extra care for pets with medical needs and will always follow your instructions closely to keep your pet safe and comfortable. I love being outdoors and enjoy hiking, swimming, and exploring trails with dogs. Having lived in the Missoula area for several years, I’m very familiar with local trail systems and great walking spots. I originally started pet sitting in Wisconsin, where I’m from. Whether your pet needs a fun, active walk or a calm, patient companion, I’m here to help. I’d love to meet you and your pet!
About: I’ve taken care of my neighbor’s two dogs while they were away for 4/5 years and friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets. Hey there! Full availability for pet sitting as of now. If you need hours outside of my availability just contact me and let me know and I’ll be happy to make arrangements for you. I have lots of experience with different types of dogs and some cats. I make sure that they get love and affection, are given food at their respected times, and get tons of exercise and or walks.
About: Having pets is more then having a little creature live in your home, it’s having a family member and loved one. Growing up, pets were always considered family and deserving of the upmost love, attention and care. I carry that with me when taking care of others babies! My number one priority will always be your pets safety and happiness! I love to find new games and new smells with the pets in my care, because it’s so important for their brains to be stimulated. My cat, Mr. Stinks and I love to play hide and seek! P.S I love to capture your pets sweet and silly moments, so you will receive some great photos! I am currently a student working part-time and my schedule can be pretty flexible! I am available most nights, afternoons and early mornings to check your pets, take them on walks or even just provide some extra cuddles. My availability for house sitting varies weekly because of my work schedule, however I can be pretty flexible! If you have any questions or special requests, please don’t hesitate to send me a message! My biggest concern will always be your pets safety and happiness. Whether that means double checking to make sure the leash is secure, cleaning up to ensure they have a clean environment or just loving them the way you would until you are back.
About: I have owned dogs my whole life, and currently have a pug and a chiweenie! I love caring for dogs and helping families out. I can do anything a normal pet owner can do! I currently am a full time law school student and teach dance, but I am almost always home or out and about for short stints to be with your fury friend throughout their entire stay to take them out, refill their water, and play with them. I have a gated yard, a nice walking neighborhood, and I am very flexible, just ask! I will always give your babies all the same love as our own dogs! You babies will never be alone for more than 3 hours at a time. I a very flexible and can do anything just need to ask and confirm. I am organized and even though I a busy, we can plan and fit things in that work for you! I love taking my doggies on walks. I don’t care about animals being on any furniture and are allowed anywhere in the house! Your dog(s) will never be left alone more than 3 hours at a time. I am home frequently between my schedule to walk, take the dogs out, and feed them. I let your doggies play with ours and cuddle whenever. I have dog beds and a couch, everything is gated and I will never take a doggie out without a leash.

About: I have been surrounded by pets my entire life, I have even helped rescue a few dogs! I have experience in dog and house sitting. I am working part time currently so I have plenty of time to take care of pets. I am trying to get 10k steps everyday so being able to walk dogs will make it 100x more enjoyable. I make sure dogs are comfortable with my presence and are able to relax as if they were with their owners still. I make sure to follow instructions that are provided for the best experience possible.
“Ryan was great with our dogs! Even though this was our first meeting, I can tell that our dogs will love having her check in on them. Ryan was attentive and patient with our pups (and my over-explaining).”

About: I have been caring for animals as long as I was old enough to have responsibility. I treat every animal with love and respect. I am happy to take care of special needs and high maintenance pets as well I currently work part time and I have free time during the day to make sure your pet has care and enrichment through the day. I currently have a pet free home so I would be able to bring your pet into my home without any conflicts of other animals.
About: I was raised around both dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Since moving to Missoula from Atlanta, I’ve been missing my own family’s pets and am excited to share that love with others. Pet sitting gives me the chance to fill my cup by spending time with animals while also helping families feel at ease knowing their pets are cared for. I work full time, but since my job is fully remote, it’s easy for me to step away throughout the day. This flexibility allows me to give pets the attention they need—whether that’s walks, playtime, or snuggles—without disrupting their routine. Caring for animals fits naturally into my schedule, and I love being able to break up my workday with their company. In my client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking to their usual routine—mealtimes, walks, play, and plenty of affection. I make sure their environment stays safe, clean, and stress-free, while also giving them extra love and attention so they don’t feel lonely while you’re away. If caring for pets in my own space, we have a fully fenced in yard and my roommates have a wonderful 2.5 year old dog named Murphy. She’s the best and does great with other dogs!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats in their homes for many years taking care of young to senior animals needing medicine. Having a fur baby of my own I understand how anxiety inducing it can be when their parents are out of town. I am gentle and attentive to fur friends as a guest in their home, while also respecting their varying social needs. My goal is to keep your loved one’s routine as close as possible to normal while their humans are away. I am self-employed and have a flexible work schedule. I am available to work with pet routines throughout the day, and can accommodate overnight stays if needed. Depending on your fur baby’s needs, I can come visit for meal time, walks, or if they need medication. I can also spend more general time in their home with them if they have more social needs.

She also sent detailed updates and absolutely gorgeous photos. I would trust her with Cleo again in a heartbeat.”

“Kenny and Michelle and family were such a pleasure to connect with. From the minute we dropped Hank off to pickup I could tell he was in excellent hands. Their two kids were so kind to Hank and I loved getting photos of him on walks. Hank is an older dog who takes medication for arthritis and I couldn’t have asked for a more supportive and gentle environment for him. I will definitely check their availability next time in Missoula.”

“Megan and Matt were friendly and very accommodating. Our dog enjoyed having canine buddies and a loving family to hang with while we were away.”


“Sophie had the best time. She played so much with the other dogs, she was pretty tired when she got home. Barbara sent me several great pictures of her time there which I really appreciated. Highly recommend using her.”

“Jennifer took awesome care of Ozzie and was great with communication and photos! He had a great time and came back very happy! Highly recommend Jennifer for your dog watching needs!”

“Andrea and her pup, Ruger, came through when we had an unexpected trip come up. She took care of our dog-girl with no issues at all. Would definitely use her again!”

“Tavia was great, good communication and followed our directions, with medications, etc. She sent communicated and sent pictures and we would recommend her and use her again.”

“Fantastic family to work with. So gentle with my Emma! Will rebook. They have a beautiful, serene setting. So gentle with my obstinate dog. Worked with me on my times to drop off and pick up.”

“Nicole did a wonderful job watching my little guy while I was out of the country! I was very nervous to leave him as he is wary of strangers and has had a past history of being an escapist but Nicole instantly put me at ease our first meeting. You can tell right away what a dog lover she is and she was so patient trying to make my little man feel at ease. Nicole kept in touch with me every day she had my pup and I never worried about him for a second! Will definitely use her again in the future!”

“Teresa's home was a good place for Nessie, my husky, to stay. She has a nice backyard with tall fences to keep her contained, and our dogs did fine when greeting. Teresa sent photos which is always nice to see. I would use her again.”

“Carmen was so great with Sadie! She was so good at keeping me updated on how she was doing and sent photos to show me what they were up to. She took her out on adventures to exercise her. Her dog was very friendly and got along great with mine. Would highly recommend!”

“Memo was WONDERFUL! I have a two year old border collie who is extremely high energy. Memo really took the time, and went the extra mile to WEAR. HIM. OUT. She was very sweet with our dog, and took care of him as if he were her own. Memo seemed very intuitive to our dogs needs, and adjusted things so he would be more comfortable. Memo was very commutative, and gave wonderful pupdates! Our dog had a freaking blast, and I'm extremely grateful we booked with Memo. 10/10 would recommend!!!”

“Our older dog was well taken care of by Ellen. We received cute updates and quick communication. Would be happy to have her look after our Sidney again and Sidney would be happy to see her!”

“Leah treated my dog Boo like a king. I couldn't have been happier about his stay with her, and neither could Boo. Leah's a great communicator-I received daily feedback of what they were doing, where they went, and reports on his behavior, how he got along with her dogs, and pictures(!). She has 2 dogs that were super playful and sweet with Boo. Leah was very careful to introduce our dogs first, which clued me in to how responsible and caring she is. While Boo was there, not only did he get to play in her yard and cuddle on the couch with her (um, he's 65 lbs and growing), she also took him on outings-including the dog island! I would definitely use Leah again and felt super comfortable about her taking care of my buddy. Highly recommended. Thank you Leah-from both of us! You're awesome!”


About: I have previously owned Labradoodles so I have 18 years of experience with high energy dogs. I also have experience in taking care of dogs who require extra medical care. I love to walk, hike and go for runs with dogs but most importantly, I can give them love and attention while you are away. I am retired and looking for the opportunity to assist you in the care of your furry friends while you are working and or traveling. I have flexibility in my schedule to accommodate your needs. I have a large fences back yard, with no pets of my own. At night I have a mud room for your dog to comfortably sleep in or if needed a pad to lay in a bedroom.
“Gabrielle took such good care of our dog and new puppy! She went on walks down by the river, played with the dogs, and sent us pictures throughout the day so we could see how they were doing. We definitely trust Gabrielle and highly recommend her. She is just wonderful. Thank you for everything you did to make our dogs happy. Our oldest dog, Tucker, didn't want to leave Gabrielle's house when we came to pick up the dogs after our trip. A true testament to how well they were treated. Thank you!”

“Chimmy had a great stay with Ben! He took her on a camping adventure, got her outside for plenty of exercise and fun, and she enjoyed the company of Tuuli. We were able to enjoy a weekend away knowing our dog was in great hands. We hope to book with Ben again! Thank you.”
