“Left my relatively new to me dog with Sarah and her family for 3 days. I got plenty of picture updates and assurance my dog was happy. Sarah is very knowledgeable about dogs and took great care of my girl.”
“Emma was absolutely amazing with Jasper! She took him on a good hike everyday and sent lots of beautiful pictures. He and Brody looked to be great friends and I felt bad breaking them up to take Jasper home. I loved that she was able to be with him so much her having a teleworking job. I would totally use her again!”
“Megan and Matt took such incredible care of our pup! They welcomed him into their home and treated him like one of their own dogs. They sent pics of their adventures and took Huck on several hikes! He was one happy pup! We will absolutely be asking them to watch him again!”
“Our pup, Chaco, was in amazing hands! She loved her walks, swims in the river, playtime with her best dog friend Juniper, and extra cuddles from the kids. We enjoyed getting updates and photos throughout the day. It made our days while being away. We also had a travel delay and Gabrielle was able to host our pup for another day. It was extremely helpful. Definitely love the family for taking amazing care of our pup! 💕🐾”
“Jen is an amazing dog sitter. Our 3.5 year old mixed breed Abby has a blast and is so well cared for at Jen's house. Abby loves playing with Jen's dog as well as Jen and we feel very comfortable leaving her with Jen when we head out of town.”
“Kenneth and his family were amazing for my puppies first night away from home. They kept her entertained and made sure she had lots of play. They were also very accommodating to drop off and pick up times. Atticus was well taken care of for her stay!”
“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!”
“Barbara is great! I have left my two dogs with her three or four times now. I feel very comfortable dropping my buds off with her. My old grouchy dog started whining and wagging his tail when I went to drop him off last time, which makes me happy to know he enjoys his stays there.”
“Teresa was very easy going and I could tell was very used to dogs. There was no problem with my 4 month old puppy staying the night. She even said he slept in past 6am :). She also has a large fenced in back yard and one friendly older dog, which are both nice benefits of boarding with her.”
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.
“Carol was great! My dog was very happy after her stay! Carol was a great communicator and I knew she took amazing care of my dog when I was away. I highly recommend Carol and will be using her in the future!”
“Our dog had a great time! Danielle went out of her way to make everything as easy as possible for us. Danielle and Leroy took great care of our dog and kept him busy and happy. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Lauren is fantastic - you can tell she handles everything with ease and genuinely loves dogs. They have a great yard for Ace to run and play, and he always comes home happy. It gives me real peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands!”
“My dogs Roxy and Snuggs had a great time spending the weekend with Nicole. Nicole is very good with dogs and has a perfect fenced yard for my older dog to ramble around, and for my younger dog to play fetch. I really appreciate the updates with photos.”
“Friendly and responsive care. Our pup had a great time hanging with Bryan and Ron, and excellent photo and video updates throughout the weekend left us feeling good as well.”
“Leah was fantastic with my dog. They were attentive, reliable, and followed all care instructions perfectly. She took my dog out on lots of hikes to stay active. Communication was excellent throughout with lots of photo updates. She even got my dog a small stuffed animal as a holiday present. Would book again.”
“Tlhis was my first time leaving my Aussie Steel with a dog sitter. He's with me almost 24/7 because of my job. I'm sure I had a much harder time than he did! Ben told me about some of his regulars that he watches, and that they would be coming when Steel wad there. From the videos that Ben sent to me and the updates, I could see Steel was in good company and doing great!! He got lots of outside time, ate well and was completely worn out from a hike when I picked him up! :) I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you Ben”
“Loved Delaney she was absolutely wonderful. She took amazing care of Eddy. Im extremely happy with her and bullet and I plan on having her care for Eddy again”
“Carmen was wonderful! She was very flexible with pick up and drop off times and sent multiple updates on our girl. We picked up a very happy doggo. Can't wait to use her again.”

About: I've taken care of numerous cats since high school, and fell in love with their hilarious and sometimes aloof personalities since then. I have fostered and owned many rescues. I've Trapped and brought to the vet, and rehomed a feral cat family. and fostered a feral mama cat and her newborn kittens get adopted into a shelter. I'm very familiar with their eccentric needs, and have introduced new cats to each other with success over and over. Very aware of their body language and behavior cues, and making sure they feel safe and have their own personal spaces.
“Highly recommend Grace. She spent the weekend at our house watching our cat, Luna. She checked in during the weekend and sent a cute photo. Grace obviously cares deeply for animals, is responsible, and even washed the sheets and made the bed! :)”
About: Ive got 4 pups of my own and 2 step pups of all ages and sizes. We are vwry active and love getting out of the house, so I'd love to give that opportunity to other pups as well! We love going on daily walks/runs and trail walks/rucks. All my dogs are high energy and rather strong, so no dog is to much to handle here! If your pup wants to take it slow and sniff around or pick up the pace and go for a run, I'm down for it all! I'm currently attending school at UM for Wildlife Biology and looking to work around my school hours helping others with their pets if possible! Im available every weekday prior to 9:30am, and anytime after 1pm on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. As well as anytime on the weekend! I always have poop bags and a waistbelt that can have a pup hooked up to it if needed. I also carry a pack with multiple camelbaks of water and cooling towels on hot days if we're going for a longer walk. Lastly, I bring a first aid kit and extra booties with whenever we go on trails as well as water in my pack and in the car.
“Holly took such great care of our kitty! She provided excellent updates and made sure he stayed on his medication schedule 10/10 recommend her wonderful services!”
“Sarah was amazing! I booked her on relatively short notice and she came to do a meet and greet and was very communicative throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve been studying animal behavior for two years, and I’m passionate about loving and caring for pets as if they were my own. I have a service dog named Buddy, who is incredibly affectionate and enjoys making friends with animals. I’m committed to teaching well-being behaviors in my home to ensure the safety and comfort of my pets. Additionally, I volunteer at shelters to assist in finding and supporting suitable placements for enrichment activities. I hold certifications in pet first aid and dog training, which further enhance my expertise in caring for animals. I am available to schedule clients throughout the week and can work with flexible timing to fit appointments into my day. Since I work part-time, I have availability seven days a week, which allows me to accommodate a variety of schedules. To ensure smooth planning and avoid any last-minute changes, I kindly request a confirmation of all appointments by 2:00 PM the day prior. I will be alone at home so visits will be solo. I’m using enrichment tools and techniques to keep your pet happy and healthy. I have a fenced yard with everything your pet needs. There are plenty of spots for them to relax and play. I’ll be watching over your pets, and I use Kongs, treats, and toys to ensure their safety and well-being. I also do health checks and training to keep them in top shape.
“Nickolas took excellent care of my cat and provided excellent communication. He took care of Gir like his own and enjoyed the silly photos Id get. Thank you so much!!”
About: I have two cats of my own, and I will be sure to treat yours with the same care as I do for mine. I am a cat-person at heart, and will work to make your furry friends comfortable and happy while you're away.
About: Cats have always been a huge part of my life, and I've been caring for them since I was a kid. Growing up, our family had six outdoor cats and two indoor cats, each with their own unique personalities. Living with so many cats taught me how to recognize their different needs, respect their boundaries, and earn their trust. One of our cats had Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, which gave me experience caring for a cat with special health considerations and reinforced the importance of paying close attention to an animal's well-being and daily routine. I also have experience caring for cats in their own homes. Last summer, I looked after a family friend's cat while they spent two months in Greece, making sure their cat stayed happy, healthy, and on a consistent routine. I also house-sat for a colleague for two weeks while they were traveling across the country. Staying in their home allowed their cat to remain in a familiar environment and gave the owners peace of mind knowing both their pet and home were being well cared for. I'm efficient and thorough when it comes to cleaning litter boxes, keeping them fresh and tidy so cats have a clean, comfortable space every day. One of the things I love most about cats is how intelligent, curious, and independent they are. Every cat has a unique personality, and I enjoy taking the time to build trust, engage them through play, or simply provide quiet companionship on their terms. Whether your cat is outgoing and playful or shy and reserved, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.
About: I have taken care of many different breeds and sizes of dogs. I have done much Cat sitting. I have also taken care of Birds and Reptiles I am conscientious, reliable, communicative and trustworthy. Your pet will be safe with me. When in my care they are top priority. Caring for your pet/s is my full time duty. Your pet is the utmost importance of safety, love ,comfort and I will follow your instructions precisely, in order to keep your pet happy and content.
About: Since I was 10 I’ve taken care of the pets in my family. Bunnies, dogs, cats, fish, gerbils and mice. I’ve given baths, taken dogs on runs, cuddled with kittens, played with bunnies. I’ve had to give medication to animals before. I’m quite active (trail runner) and really open to anything. I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I work remote from home as a video editor and I get to decide my own schedule and hours everyday. That means I get to prioritize your pet or home first! I’ve grown up with animals all my life - so I suppose at this point it is just second nature to be around them. I make sure not to leave often, especially in the first 48 hours, so that I can help keep your pets relax as you leave. I try to spend a lot of intentional time with them up front so they get to know me and trust me. I once had to walk a dog 5 times between 10pm and 2am because it was nervous, but by the next day we were best friends. It just takes time and patience.
“Cam did a great job taking care of my cat and watching my house while I was gone for about a week. He left the house clean and everything was in good shape when I came home. His daily text updates with photos of my cat was really appreciated and made me rest easy so I could better enjoy my vacation. I strongly recommend Cam and plan to rebook with him next time.”
About: Hey there! My name is Ben. Ever since I was little, there has always been an animal at home to greet me at the door. My family absolutely loved Vizslas, so I definitely know how to handle high-energy dogs. Our first dog lived to be 18 years old, so I have experience caring for senior dogs (and they will always hold a special place in my heart). I've taken care of dogs personally since they were puppies, so I have experience with all different ages. While I am used to trying to match my rambunctious pups' energy on walks, I am also a motivator of couch potatoes! I promise to be just as stubborn as your own little friend. That said, if you'd like me to try to get them extra exercise, I'd be willing to try jogging with them - just let me know! Overall, I hope to be a loving, observant, and friendly companion to your animals. I have about 2 years experience living with cats as well. I am respectful of their boundaries while always willing to give love if they’re open to receiving it. Can't wait to meet them (and hopefully you)! On the days I am not working, I have just about unlimited time! If it fits in my schedule, I’d be happy to help out. I will respect your pets and whatever environment you allow me access to with the same level of care and concern as if it were my own.
About: I’ve cared for so many different cats and they all have their own quirks. My philosophy is to let them come to me, build trust slowly before invading their space too much, and use food/pets to affirm trust! Often, I also “cat proof” rooms and ensure I have easy access to any corners they might go to hide.

“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!”
“Cleo had a great time. She hit it off immediately with Nick's labrador Margie and was eager to go back the second day. Nicholas was very flexible and accommodating of my uncertain schedule and weird hours.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Bryan was awesome. He was available last minute to watch our dog while we were visiting family in Montana. Bryan was very communicative and sent photos of Javi throughout the day. Would 10000% use Bryan and his dog Ron on our next visit to Missoula!”
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.
“Ben and Tuuli are the best! My pup was so stoked every time we pulled up to Ben’s house and I knew that he’d be having a great day with them. He was happy and tired after full days of play and walks. Ben is incredibly easy going and responsible. I never had a worry leaving Woody in Ben’s care and would 100% recommend to anyone looking for an awesome pet sitter!”
About: I'm a wildlife biologist who grew up with pets of all kinds and personally cared for puppies, kittens, and senior dogs and cats. I work from home and only take one client at a time (up to 2 dogs), which allows me to provide 24/7 personalized care in a safe, loving, and playful environment. Your pet will join my family (my husband (also a wildlife biologist), our 2 daughters, and our friendly dog Juniper) and will enjoy access to our large fenced yard and comfortable indoor living areas. I am home full time, so my guest pets have 24/7 access to me and are cared for around the clock! I'm able to offer daily walks and as many mealtimes, potty breaks, and attention as your pet needs. At night, pets sleep inside in whichever arrangement is preferred for them. I know it can be so hard to leave a beloved pet, but I truly like to give them their very best life! I'm able to care for well-socialized pets and provide plenty of daily exercise, affection, and cozy resting spots where I am never far. I have a large, securely fenced yard with shady spots and plenty of running space. I have 2 crates available if needed (unless instructed to use a crate, I do not use them). Reactive dogs are not a good fit for my home.

About: I am a full-time journalist who loves to get out on the weekends! I’m originally from Alaska and spend every opportunity I can getting outside with my 15-year-old border collie. I work from home and stay with the animals all day. We wake up early for potty breaks first thing in the morning. Dogs are allowed on the furniture for ultimate snuggles! I have a fenced yard with plenty of animal friends to keep your pet occupied and comfortable. The house is also large enough that if your animal needs space, we can cordon off an area for them to have peace and quiet.

About: Growing up we had 3 large dogs. Two of which were raised from puppies. I loved them with all my heart. Nate had many medical issues and we would have to make sure he had his medicine so I know how important and hard that can be. Sam was a very large breed and as he got older his hips weren’t as sturdy. We would walk him while supporting his back legs as the grew weaker. I understand aging dogs and how to watch out for their health. I am also a photographer for dog sled racing. I have helped many racers herd their dogs into formation and back to their kennels. I love working dogs and larger breeds. I enjoy tanking photos of dogs while they work or doing what they love. I am a freelance photographer, videographer, and marketer so I make my own schedule. I am available at almost anytime throughout the week. Most of my meetings are held on zoom so I seldom need to be somewhere other than a place with WiFi. I enjoy taking walks and playing fetch. I do not believe in off leash exercise as I don’t trust other dogs and dog owners. I enjoy playing tug and enriching experiences making dogs use their sense of smell and practice their manners and training.
About: I’ve been around farm animals my entire life. I have raised many of my own animals from birth to now. I also enjoy training and walking my animals! I will take great care of your pets. I will love and treat them as my own. I would be able to watch animals at a clients home, however am not allowed to have any animals at my place. Caring for pets fits into my schedule by planning their feedings, walks, and care around my work schedule. I'm available most weekends and some weekdays. Safety and trust come first. I maintain safety by locking doors, following routines exactly, and ensuring the pets are comfortable. I build trust through consistency, communication, and genuine care
“Our boy Cashew is still in the thicket of big-dog adolescence, and at 70lbs it can feel like steadying a runaway train, but Reid has been beyond wonderful with Cashew since the start! Reid is compassionate with our boy without letting him get away with unsafe behaviors, and now that I’m working 12hr days, I can trust that my boy will be exercised, exhausted, and excited to sleep until I’m back home. Choosing someone to bring into your home, while you’re not there, to temporarily *take your dog* is an undeniably stressful decision. Reid has made that process effortless, putting my entire family at ease, and I cannot recommend his services enough!”
“Anya did a wonderful job caring for my two fussy dogs. They used the utmost care and then some with both pups. This included early walks, meals with pills, and positive reinforcement. When considering Anya, just know you’re hiring someone who really does care about the well-being of animals! I cannot thank Anya enough. I was able to go on a trip to see family with peace of mind. That’s priceless! ?”

About: I’ve always loved pets and animals and after moving to Missoula am missing the two dogs I had with my younger sister so I’m looking for pets to connect with and care for while I don’t have any of my own. I work for Competitive Timing, a company that runs electronic timing for races and other running events. Because of that, I’m often gone traveling on weekends but during the weekdays I’m free to do whatever it is your pets would need and keep up their normal routine. I try to make the transition as seamless as possible caring for your pets in your home, on their usual routine, giving them lots of love and attention so that they feel safe and comfortable with me.

About: Thought I'd try this app out to make an extra buck. I am a lover of all pets, well maybe not spiders. I grew up in the remote country of Wisconsin, with a bunch of farm animals, as well as cats and dogs. Growing up with pets, and farm animals is crucial for knowing animals. I'm always taking my roommates dog for walks, and to the dog park. We have a big fenced in yard in the heart of Missoula. Meru (my roommates female dog) is really friendly and loves all other cats and dogs. I would focus my energy on your dogs and cats of course, but if Meru and your dogs cross paths they'll be best friends for the day. Hope to hear from you, and lend a helping hand with your best friends. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make sure pets get plenty of attention throughout the day — not just quick check-ins. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and companionship while keeping a calm, clean environment. I also make time for photo/video updates so owners always know how their pets are doing. I enjoy building routines around each pet’s individual needs and personality. I care for every pet like they’re my own and focus heavily on safety, comfort, cleanliness, and communication. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, energy level, and any special needs so they feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, clean environment with plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and space to relax. I always introduce pets carefully and prioritize safety at all times. In clients’ homes, I respect their routines and instructions closely to help pets stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I keep feeding schedules, walks, litter boxes, medications, and daily care consistent while also providing regular photo and video updates for peace of mind. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: I am a reliable dog and cat sitter, and have several friends and coworkers who can attest to this. Pet sitting brings me so much joy! Unfortunately I’m not in a place to have pets of my own, so I thought this would be a great way to spend time with animals and make some extra cash! My schedule is currently fairly flexible, as I am hybrid remote and on summer hours! I can do pretty much any day/time of the week, though this may change seasonally. I make sure to spread my time and love evenly between pets, respecting their space but giving them lots of scratches and playing with them when they want or need. I am always down to go for walks, play fetch, or just hang around the house together!
About: I have been caring for dogs my whole life. I have two sweet dogs and watch family members and friends dogs all the time! One of my first jobs was dog walking for a family friend. I also have good experience with puppies because my dog has had two litters that I cared for and my sister had a litter that I helped with. I do have experience with birthing puppies if your dog is a soon to be mama. I am currently going to college at MSU, but I only have classes in the morning. I start at 8am and end at 10 am mondays, wednesdays, and fridays, and on tuesdays and thursday I have class from 9:25 am to 12:30 pm. I have lots of free time to take care of pets! I am not allowed dogs in my dorm so I am only available to watch at clients home, but my sister lives nearby, and if needed I can stay there with the dogs. There is a fenced in part of the backyard and three adorable puppies they can play with.
About: Hi! My name is Courtney, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a mom who was always bringing home abandoned and rescued animals, so our house was never short on furry (or feathered!) family members. I was also raised on a farm where we cared for two horses, a donkey named Abigail, goats, chickens, rabbits, six outdoor cats, two indoor cats, and two dogs. Growing up in that environment taught me the responsibility, patience, and dedication that quality animal care requires. It also showed me just how rewarding the bond between people and animals can be. Today, I have a 13-year-old Golden Retriever named Mia, who is truly my whole world. Caring for her through every stage of her life has deepened my understanding of what pets mean to their families. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your beloved companion, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I recently graduated with my master's degree from the University of Montana and currently have a very flexible schedule while I search for my next career opportunity. That means I can provide dependable, attentive care and work around your pet's routine, whether they need walks, playtime, companionship, or lots of affection. I believe animals are some of our greatest supporters, and there's nothing more special than the unconditional love they share with us. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving their owners complete peace of mind. I'll care for your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members! I recently graduated with my master's degree from the University of Montana and am currently searching for the next step in my career. Because of that, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. Whether your dog enjoys mountain hikes, neighborhood walks, trips to the dog park, or long games of fetch, I'm happy to tailor our time together to match their energy level and personality. For pets who prefer a slower pace, I'm just as happy spending quality time providing companionship, enrichment, and plenty of cuddles. Since I have open availability, your pet won't be left alone for long periods and will receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet's safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, and I take the time to follow your instructions carefully so they feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. I live at the Corso Apartments in central Missoula, which features a large, well-maintained dog park right on the property. We're also located directly next to the Milwaukee Trail, making it easy to provide safe, enjoyable neighborhood walks or longer adventures for dogs who love to explore. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my apartment or yours, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, fresh water, meals on schedule, and lots of love. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind, knowing your pet is in caring hands.

“Left my relatively new to me dog with Sarah and her family for 3 days. I got plenty of picture updates and assurance my dog was happy. Sarah is very knowledgeable about dogs and took great care of my girl.”
“Emma was absolutely amazing with Jasper! She took him on a good hike everyday and sent lots of beautiful pictures. He and Brody looked to be great friends and I felt bad breaking them up to take Jasper home. I loved that she was able to be with him so much her having a teleworking job. I would totally use her again!”
“Megan and Matt took such incredible care of our pup! They welcomed him into their home and treated him like one of their own dogs. They sent pics of their adventures and took Huck on several hikes! He was one happy pup! We will absolutely be asking them to watch him again!”
“Our pup, Chaco, was in amazing hands! She loved her walks, swims in the river, playtime with her best dog friend Juniper, and extra cuddles from the kids. We enjoyed getting updates and photos throughout the day. It made our days while being away. We also had a travel delay and Gabrielle was able to host our pup for another day. It was extremely helpful. Definitely love the family for taking amazing care of our pup! 💕🐾”
“Jen is an amazing dog sitter. Our 3.5 year old mixed breed Abby has a blast and is so well cared for at Jen's house. Abby loves playing with Jen's dog as well as Jen and we feel very comfortable leaving her with Jen when we head out of town.”
“Kenneth and his family were amazing for my puppies first night away from home. They kept her entertained and made sure she had lots of play. They were also very accommodating to drop off and pick up times. Atticus was well taken care of for her stay!”
“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!”
“Barbara is great! I have left my two dogs with her three or four times now. I feel very comfortable dropping my buds off with her. My old grouchy dog started whining and wagging his tail when I went to drop him off last time, which makes me happy to know he enjoys his stays there.”
“Teresa was very easy going and I could tell was very used to dogs. There was no problem with my 4 month old puppy staying the night. She even said he slept in past 6am :). She also has a large fenced in back yard and one friendly older dog, which are both nice benefits of boarding with her.”
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.
“Carol was great! My dog was very happy after her stay! Carol was a great communicator and I knew she took amazing care of my dog when I was away. I highly recommend Carol and will be using her in the future!”
“Lauren is fantastic - you can tell she handles everything with ease and genuinely loves dogs. They have a great yard for Ace to run and play, and he always comes home happy. It gives me real peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands!”
“My dogs Roxy and Snuggs had a great time spending the weekend with Nicole. Nicole is very good with dogs and has a perfect fenced yard for my older dog to ramble around, and for my younger dog to play fetch. I really appreciate the updates with photos.”
“Friendly and responsive care. Our pup had a great time hanging with Bryan and Ron, and excellent photo and video updates throughout the weekend left us feeling good as well.”
“Leah was fantastic with my dog. They were attentive, reliable, and followed all care instructions perfectly. She took my dog out on lots of hikes to stay active. Communication was excellent throughout with lots of photo updates. She even got my dog a small stuffed animal as a holiday present. Would book again.”
“Tlhis was my first time leaving my Aussie Steel with a dog sitter. He's with me almost 24/7 because of my job. I'm sure I had a much harder time than he did! Ben told me about some of his regulars that he watches, and that they would be coming when Steel wad there. From the videos that Ben sent to me and the updates, I could see Steel was in good company and doing great!! He got lots of outside time, ate well and was completely worn out from a hike when I picked him up! :) I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you Ben”
“Loved Delaney she was absolutely wonderful. She took amazing care of Eddy. Im extremely happy with her and bullet and I plan on having her care for Eddy again”
“Carmen was wonderful! She was very flexible with pick up and drop off times and sent multiple updates on our girl. We picked up a very happy doggo. Can't wait to use her again.”
“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!”
