“All I can say is that I didn’t know Georgie could possibly be more spoiled than he already was but he is and that is a good thing! Made the entire trip away perfect knowing he was being so loved.

“Carlina did a great job with our dog, Maddy. She checked in and sent pics. I really appreciated that it was just our dog and Carolina’s dog there - I think too many make it a stressful stay. Maddy said she was a 10/10, bed and treats were great.”

“My dog seemed to really enjoy her time with Marnette, David, and Gouda. This was the first time we had our dog stay with someone who we didn’t know personally. I was nervous, but Marnette and David took very good care of our dog. They are trustworthy and kind. We appreciated check-ins and pictures in the morning and at night. Highly recommend!”
“I’m so grateful to KaLynn for taking such wonderful care of our dog Jessie. She’s a rescue and normally very nervous of strangers but instantly took to KaLynn. Through the photo’s & messages I could tell she had a really lovely, fun filled stay.”
“Rick went above and beyond to make sure our weird, skittish (and lovable!) dog got settled in and comfortable while we were away. He took Gizmo out of the house for hikes, which really made him happy. Couldn’t recommend him more to take great care of your pups.”
“Caroline is very communicative & friendly. She invited us over for a meet & greet beforehand to ensure Lilly would be comfortable and would get along with her dog Louie. She provided great care for Lilly and sent lots of pictures and messages to let us know how things were going. I would definitely recommend her and will be bringing Lilly back again very soon!”
“Very easy couple to work with, highly recommend them! They have kept our dog twice. When I dropped him off the second time he seemed happy to be there, & remebered the trail they walked him on. He was well cared for & happy when I picked him up.”

About: I have been a veterinary nurse at an AAHA accredited hospital for the last 6 years, and prior to that, worked at an additional hospital as well as a pet store with exotics.

Prices are estimates per visit. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I adore cats and have experience with ones who want absolutely no contact other than being fed and watered as well as cuddly babies who love to play! I am very familiar with animal behavior and strive to learn any animal's unique boundaries.
“She did such a great job and went above and beyond!!! When I had an issue with wildlife critters getting in the pet door, she went there and checked on everyone right away!!! All of my cats that are normally antisocial love her!!!”
“Kristine is an excellent Rover sitter! She is incredibly reliable and professional. Kristine responded quickly to messages. She provided reports with photos for each and every drop-in visit that she was scheduled to make. As a bonus, she provided helpful advice on managing the older cat's arthritis. Both cats were comfortable with Kristine from the moment she arrived. They loved being cared by her and appreciated the attention she provided.”
“She is the one if you have a cat/cats! So this was my first Rover experience and I didn’t have anything to compare it to other than having a friend check on our cat while we were gone. I haven’t gone away longer than a couple days since having Hunter because I worry about him being stressed and confused. If you love a cat/cats, you know how it is. We want to take them with, but it is even more stressful and sometimes dangerous for some of them. As far as Victoria goes, she has set the bar really high and I only want her to pet sit for us for as long as she is on here. Our meet and greet went well and her energy was very pet friendly and warm. My cat can be a weirdo about changes and new people, but he did approach and smell her during that initial meeting. While we were away she took great care of him and sent photos which helped us to relax and enjoy our time. We really lucked out and I hope good people continue to sign up to do this service especially for us cat owners. Rover itself was easy to use and I think the fee (separate from the daily rate) is fair as of 10/2024 because the ease of finding someone, reading reviews, entering payment info, messaging, and photos. I would absolutely use this provider and Rover again.”
“Alex was absolutely wonderful; communicative, responsible, and obviously has a deep love for animals. My kitty warmed up to Alex immediately and knowing she was in good hands eased my anxiety while I was away. I will absolutely book with Alex again in the future.”

“Ashley was amazing! She got my little guy to come out of his shell and exceeded my expectations. I am so grateful to have found someone trustworthy to check in on my cat while I am away.”
“I absolutely love Michelle. I met her through my roomate using her for her puppy. I had such peace of mind leaving my sweet rescue boy with her because I knew she’d take the best care of him and make him feel safe and loved. I can’t imagine using anyone else.”

“Tabitha communicated well and in a very timely manner from the first inquiry through pick up at the end of the week. Due to her top notch reviews, we had confidence she would take excellent care of our cat. She proved us correct. Our kitty guy was happy while away, and reintegrated into our household seamlessly. We appreciated Tabitha’s help in caring for our pet while our floors were being refinished and would definitely book with her again.”
About: my family has always been surrounded with dogs more than cats but i’ve worked at a vet office and helped with cats and even at my last barn job, we had 2 cats who i adored. i’m not someone to pick and choose animals and am always open to learning behaviors, routines, and care tips!
“Mason was great- highly recommend! She was so prompt in answering my request and all my messages. I felt very comfortable on my trip knowing Penny was in good hands. She arrived right on time for her visits, sent so many cute pics, and kept me updated on Penny the whole time. I will def be booking again next time I need a sitter and would recommend her to anyone in the area!”
“Bradly did a great job watching our two dogs while we were out of town for a few days. We had him drop in 3 times a day. He arrived promptly at the designated times, fed, walked and played with our pups. He is very kind and responsive giving us comfort that they were getting the attention they need. Our English Springer Spaniel is full of energy and Brad was able to give him the play time fetching sticks to burn off some of his energy. We live on a few acres so having someone that is also active was important to us. We trusted Bradly with our home and pets and would definitely use him again.”

I am mostly available any day, since my schooling is online though. I will offer in overnight as long as they are a dog friendly and we’ve had a test run. Sometimes animals just don’t click and that’s OK.
“We are so happy to have found William! He was very responsive from our first meet & greet through the time he spent at our house watching our kitties. The house was clean and in order when we returned home and, most importantly, our cats were well taken care of.”
“Anne was amazing with our nervous 1 year old GSP puppy. She was patient and got him to relax and took him on a great walk! Thank you so much Anne!! ☺️ We will definitely have her look after him again in the future🩷”

“Holly did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Buddy, while I attended a special event in Union Mills. From the beginning, she was extremely responsive and offered helpful suggestions to make Buddy feel more comfortable, especially since he suffers from separation anxiety. I was concerned about how he would cope, as he typically howls, pants, and shakes until I come home. Holly was very kind and gentle with Buddy, and it was clear that she genuinely cares about the animals she works with. She kept me updated on how Buddy was doing throughout the evening and even sent me a few sweet photos, which helped put my mind at ease. I feel confident recommending Holly to anyone in need of care for their pet!”
“We were initially apprehensive about leaving our anxious pup at doggie daycare, but upon meeting Jaren, our worries melted away. Their fenced-in, lush green yard, complete with a variety of dog toys, immediately reassured us. We were warmly greeted by their adorable mini Aussie Shepherd, Bowie, who quickly became fast friends with our dog, Dale. Meeting Ann and their other two friendly doggies only reinforced the welcoming atmosphere. The easygoing nature of the household made drop-offs and pick-ups effortless. Dale returned home pleasantly tired from a day of play, without feeling overwhelmed.”

I have a dog runner, crate, and one friendly female fixed golden retriever named Fenway to keep your dog company if he or she wishes.
“Alyssa and Bryan took such great care of our two girls and they have come back happy and tired both times we’ve sent them! They kept us updated with photos and letting us know what they had been up to. They asked a lot of thoughtful questions about Zoe and Riley and I’m very happy to have found them to take care of my crew. They have a great space and yard for the dogs to play and explore, which was a big draw for me. Will definitely book them again!”
“KaLynn was very kind and understanding about working with my dog with separation anxiety. Her fenced area is perfect for pups to play while still having space. She was communicative and easy-going, and I felt comfortable while I was out for the evening. Thanks for your help!”

“If I could give more than five stars, I would. I travel for work and I am always worried about what to do with my dog Gromit. Keily went way up and beyond what I was expecting. Absolutely perfect experience and I feel very comfortable booking revisits. I highly recommend.”
About: Hi we're Mason and Christian, husband and wife duo! We've had animals all our lives and currently have a 12 animal household! I like to call us the mini farm! 4 dogs,2 cats, 2 guinea pigs, 2 bearded dragons, and a very spunky rooster! We can't wait to meet your sweeties! We'll do everything to make sure your pet has their needs met and make them feel loved and safe! I have a fully free and open schedule to care and play with your animals as much as needed! My schedule will be based on what days and nights you need Welcome to my pet oasis! A fully fenced in and safe space, dedicated to only your pet to roam around and play as much as needed! The pet oasis is a large courtyard attached to the home your pet will be staying, it will be safe and separate from my own animals and other (wild) animals.
About: First and foremost, I absolutely adore animals! Even as a kid, I would only accompany my mother to visit her friends, who had dogs or cats in their home. I appreciate, respect, and can relate to the bond humans have with their pets. They are very much family and there's nothing more satisfying than seeing your fur baby comfortable, relaxed, and content, in our home or yours, while you're away. We only board 2 dogs at a time, to ensure a quiet, calm, and more relaxing stay, and have a large fenced in backyard for playtime. Dogs staying with us must be house trained. We also have a cat, who loves to play with dogs, so to ensure his safety, any dogs boarding with us must be cat friendly. Some of my previous work experience includes 4 years as a veterinary assistant and I'm comfortable with administering medication, if needed. I have dog training experience and have even trained two of our own to become registered therapy dogs. Together, we serve our community by providing pet therapy in shelters for domestic violence victims, assisted living facilities, our local university, in elementary schools, and wherever she's needed. I currently work with German Shepherd Rescue organizations, assessing temperaments/behavior, conducting home visits, and fostering. We live near the airport, which makes it ideal for dropping off and picking up when traveling for work or going on vacation. Several of my clients leave their babies with us when leaving the country. In addition to dog sitting for many friends and family members over the years, I've also taken care of cats, horses, goats, and even iguanas! I can't wait to provide extra love, play time, and affection for your fur baby, too! I work from home and we have one dog and a cat. I closely supervise any dogs that are our guests here and can provide potty breaks as frequently as needed. Any pets staying with us are supervised inside and out. Our yard is large and fenced in, so it's a great place for play sessions. For drop in visits, I customize it to the owner's wishes and dog's needs.
“We were from out of town , camping, and visiting Biltmore. We needed someone to watch our standard Poodle for the day. We booked with Kinsey and it couldn’t have been better. We had issues with our camper and had to reschedule. She was so understanding. We did a pre visit and our boy fell in love! We were able to drop him off and feel so confident that he would have a wonderful day! Will definitely use again if in the area.”
“My dog has separation anxiety and loved his old doggy daycare back in our old town. I had trouble finding a daycare here when I moved that he liked and that fit with my schedule. We're so lucky we stumbled on Ryan. She has super flexible hours so I can stay late at the office if needed. She has all sorts of animals so Ludo is never lonely. She's also a retired vet tech so she has plenty of experience with all kinds of animals. Ludo barely even notices when I walk out her door to leave him for the day, and that's HUGE.”
“Tabitha and Mrs. Zane were Godsends! They agreed to watch our pup super last minute after our sitter fell through. We cannot recommend them enough and will absolutely use them again when we’re back in town!!”
“Booked last minute and Golda was kind and caring. She watched our dog Riley while we went out to dinner. She was professional and stayed in communication. Couldn't ask for anything more.”
About: As a remote Registered Nurse (RN), I bring a clinical eye to pet care. I notice subtle changes in behavior or health that others might miss. I’m comfortable administering medications in any form, from pills to inhalers, and my own pets are on daily medication routines so it’s second nature. My background in farming gave me hands-on experience with animal health and handling, and I’ve worked with my own dogs on training from puppyhood. I’m home all day, every day, so your dog gets constant attention and care, not just a place to play and sleep. I work from home Monday through Friday, 9 to 5, with a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time in the mornings, evenings, and throughout the day. I have lots of time for walks, potty breaks, and playtime, and my job allows me to step away whenever your pup needs attention. I can work from my office or the couch, wherever your dog is most comfortable. On my days off I tend to stay close to home, and if I do need to run an errand I won’t be gone long and can always accommodate you and your dog’s needs. I share my home with three animals who are very well loved. Haddie is my 7 year old spayed terrier mix, about 22 pounds, and my two cats are Zuzu, a spayed senior, and June, who is 4 years old and also spayed. Each of them has their own dietary and medical needs, so I’m already in the routine of specialized diets and medications. Your dog will fit right into that level of care. Haddie goes out every two to four hours and we walk together every day. There’s also plenty of backyard playtime. The backyard is not currently fenced, but a fence is going up soon. In the meantime I have a post with a long leash line in the yard and keep Haddie on a harness. I am always outside with her when using the leash line and never leave her unattended, and will do the same for your dog. My home is clean, open, and pet friendly. The furniture and beds are fair game for your dog. I do have a dedicated cat room with a gate that only the cats can fit through, so they always have their own safe space. All of my houseplants are pet safe as well. I also live at the end of a dead end street near the cul de sac, so it’s a quiet area with only local traffic and no busy roads nearby.
“Thank uuu Jen!! She was just the best!! We felt so badly requesting to schedule within a day hoping she was available She was so accommodating and asked us about Dottie to know what she needed her personality etc Dot had the best time!! Jen sent photos and messaged We hope to return and will contact Jen!! We highly recommend her!! 🍃🏆🩷🐾😀”
“Julie did a wonderful job watching my two girls at the last minute. She was very responsive and kept me informed with cute pictures throughout the day. My pups came home happy and tired. We’ll definitely use her again!”
“Lacie was absolutely wonderful to our Cockapoo, Biscuit. We did day care in her home and she has a house perfectly suited to having animals and a huge fenced yard. She clearly loves animals and I’m so glad I found her. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Prices are estimates per walk. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: https://www.rover.com/sit/kaitlr39001 I have about 4 years of experience with medically fragile dogs as my dog is a diabetic and takes insulin and requires a prescription diet with frequent potty breaks as well as one other dog who is on daily medications. My other senior pup has discospondylosis so daily medications are something I am very very familiar with as well as being more careful and slower with pups. I currently do part time work from home so I am almost always available to pet sit or board or in home pet sit or even walk your animals. I am a HUGE advocate for animal safety regardless of breed. I love all animals and would never put my dogs or any other animal in harms way.
About: I have been caring for fur babies for half my life. I love getting to know every individual, their personalities and little quirks. Small, big, young or old I love them all. I have worked with clients assisting in puppy training, administering medication when needed or offering special care to our more senior pets. I have also owned and/or worked with birds, fish, small caged animals, poultry and horses. Our animals are at the heart of our homes. I am here to provide loving care to those hearts or yours. I currently work part time remotely from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am available morning, noon and night and can easily work with your timetable. I am not currently offering boarding or overnight care at this time. I am available for drop in visits and walks whenever needed. If transportation is needed to get to a place for exercise like a park or trail I can accommodate that as well.
“I am so glad we found Ashlee. She arrived on time and immediately connected in a lovely way with my pup, Murphy. I was able to accomplish my errands with my mind completely at ease. Ashlee is kind friendly capable and experienced. I highly recommend her services.”
About: I have worked Animal Rescue, Fostering, Rehabilitation, and Adoptions the last 6 years! I understand pet parents, can easily follow instructions, and will stay alert to your pet needs! I will value your pet as I would my own! I currently work remotely, so I am extremely flexible. If not house sitting, I can make as many or little stops at your house as needed. I prefer to not board animals at my home. I do not have a fenced in yard, so it is not very suitable for a dog.
About: I’m an Asheville native who loves nature and animals deeply. I communicate well & efficiently. Working with animals fills me with so much joy. I happily work with animals of all ages, sizes, breeds, etc. You can rest assured your pets will receive the best care possible each time they are with me. I love being able to help out fellow humans with the awesome bonus of keeping your animals happy & healthy :) I am a mama to a young boy, who is also good with animals. Although, he is in school most of the time. I do not usually come out late in the evenings due to my son’s bedtime, but can make it work if you are located close by. During the day time I have a good bit of flexibility, which allows this job to fit in my lifestyle well. I am currently only offering services at the clients home - I prefer to meet prior so I can visibly see what I will need to do. If this is under shorter notice / a meet cannot occur, please either write or text me a message of any needs, concerns or details necessary to make it the best experience for your pets. You can fully trust that your pets will be happy, safe and well taken care of.
About: My husband and I both work from home and have a large, fenced-in yard. We have one dog and two cats of our own and have previously fostered both dogs and cats with the Asheville Humane Society. Not only am I a huge animal lover, but I also am well versed in dog behavior and can administer medicine if needed. If you’d like references, please let me know and I’d be happy to provide some for you. I’ll treat your pup like one of my own, including lots of belly rubs, play and treat time and of course, I’ll send you photos so you know your dog or cat is okay. We are conveniently located 15 minutes from Downtown Asheville and 10 minutes from Black Mountain. If you’re visiting Asheville and need recommendations on where to eat and things to do, let me know! My husband and I both work from home, so your dog will receive lots of attention during their stay. We have many dog beds, toys, and big windows that many Rover dogs have enjoyed looking out of. We have a large, fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. Our two cats have been with us since they were just a few weeks old (they are foster fails), so they grew up with our dogs and are used to dogs. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m happy to customize your experience specifically for your fur baby with their likes and dislikes! We have a secure, fenced in yard for potty breaks and play time. We have reliable transportation should an emergency arise. We have doggy steps for our two senior dogs, if your dog needs to use them too.
“Alexis was absolutely fantastic with Lula! Lula clearly had a great time with her. Had a great walk, play time and just spent time with her. From the moment she stepped into my apartment, Lula instantly took to her. I also have two cats who warned right up to her as well. Would never be able to recommend her enough to anyone who needs a pet sitter/walker.”

About: I have owned dogs my entire life with many cats in between. I have had the pleasure of sitting dogs and cats all over the country, including house sits in California, Oregon, Washington, and now North Carolina. I have experience with young puppies, as well as elderly dogs with a plethora of health problems; I also have experience with big dogs like German shepherds, Australian shepherds, and Rottweilers, to teacup Pomeranians, spitz, and many more. I have been told I’m very high energy and fun, and the animals I have looked after always seem to pick up on that great energy and can’t wait to hang out. :) I sell vintage clothing, so being self employed allows me to better accommodate to all the needs of the animals. In our own home, our dog Endo is the King. He gets to enjoy long daily walks amidst the beauty of DuPont forest, swims in the lake behind our house, and nightly fresh cooked meals. My services on house sits include obviously feeding and general care of the animals, as well as promptly following specific dietary regimens and health requirements of every animal. I have cared for very old dogs that needed assistance in bowel movements as well as simple motivation for stubborn dogs that don’t like to walk. I have also looked after countless plants and hot tubs, ensuring proper watering and chlorination.
About: With many years of experience as a veterinary technician in both shelter and clinic settings, I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior, health, and care to every pet I work with. My hands-on experience ranges from administering medications and handling emergencies to comforting anxious pets and supporting their emotional well-being. I’ve worked with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and medical needs, making me exceptionally well-prepared for pet sitting, dog walking, and providing attentive, professional care. Your pets will be in the hands of someone who treats them with the same compassion, patience, and expertise that I’ve developed over years in the field! I love being able to meet other people's fur babies and make them feel safe and happy when under my care.❤️ I am currently only working two days a week at my veterinary clinic, which leaves me with a fairly open and flexible schedule. This allows me plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting, dog walking, and providing reliable, attentive care for your pets when you need it most. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I make sure to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and behavior. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm atmosphere. When caring for pets in their own home, I maintain their regular routine to reduce stress, keep their space tidy, and make sure they feel secure and loved while their owners are away. My background as a veterinary technician means I’m also confident handling any special needs or medical situations that may arise.
“Briana did a fantastic job watching my boy! I will absolutely book her again. I came home to a happy, calm pup - the best signs that he was comfortable and had a good time while I was gone :)”
About: “I have taken care of dogs my whole life and currently have a sweet pug puppy named Willow. I love taking dogs on walks, giving them playtime, potty breaks, snuggles, and lots of attention. I treat every dog like my own — with patience, kindness, and positive reinforcement. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or an overnight stay, your pup will feel safe, happy and deeply loved in my care I work from home as an artist and am almost always here, so your dog will get consistent walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles throughout the day. They won’t be left alone except for quick errands. 🐾 My home is very dog-friendly with a fully fenced in yard, tons of toys, comfy dog beds, and lots of space to relax. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and in my bed (just like my own pups). I treat every dog like part of the family — with lots of love, patience, and positive reinforcement. 🐾
About: I have pet sat for many families in the past. I have about 3 regulars. I started pet sitting in my neighborhood about 2 and a half years ago and also got on another app and have had about 2 sittings from there. I have pet sat mostly dogs but also cats. I have done overnights, visits throughout the day, boarding in my home, walking, etc. I am also about to start including dog training! I also would love to add in hiking! I would even be up for doing day care in my home! I have also cared for senior dogs and have experience with giving medications. I have a German Shepherd so I love to get out and be active! I am currently working part time but am planning to go fully to pet sitting so I can help more pet owners out! I am not in school so I will be available the whole day to spend time with your pups. Your pup will be able to go outside when needed and get love 24/7. We have a fully fenced yard so lots of room for your pup to run! We also go on daily walks and sometimes enjoy going out hiking or to the park. I am very keen on crate training so your pup will need to be crated while unsupervised in my home. This is for mine and my dogs safety but also for your dogs safety! We keep our home very clean and dog/ puppy proof so no need to worry about your pup getting into anything! We also keep chew bones up and any high value items up. They get these high value items when they are individually in their crates or their own space! We have three dogs for your pup to play and socialize with always under supervision of me or the other person in my home.
“Sarah was great! Very kind and great communication. Loved seeing all the pictures she took of Enzo on his walk. He always looked so happy! Sad she’s leaving the state for a few months but definitely looking forward to working with her again when she returns.”

“Megan and Erika are amazing! They truly treated our pups like one of their own going as far as helping us out in a family emergency where we needed last minute dog sitting. Will absolutely being using them from now own for our pups! Can't recommend them enough!”
“Carlina did a great job with our dog, Maddy. She checked in and sent pics. I really appreciated that it was just our dog and Carolina’s dog there - I think too many make it a stressful stay. Maddy said she was a 10/10, bed and treats were great.”
“Caroline is very communicative & friendly. She invited us over for a meet & greet beforehand to ensure Lilly would be comfortable and would get along with her dog Louie. She provided great care for Lilly and sent lots of pictures and messages to let us know how things were going. I would definitely recommend her and will be bringing Lilly back again very soon!”
“Very easy couple to work with, highly recommend them! They have kept our dog twice. When I dropped him off the second time he seemed happy to be there, & remebered the trail they walked him on. He was well cared for & happy when I picked him up.”
“Sarah watched our dog for two nights while we stayed at the Grove Park Inn. This was a great option since the hotel pet fee was $350! Thank you, Sarah, for caring for our pup!”
About: I have been a veterinary nurse at an AAHA accredited hospital for the last 6 years, and prior to that, worked at an additional hospital as well as a pet store with exotics. I am more than comfortable administering any method of medication, and taking care of your medical needs, special needs, or senior fur babies. I own two friendly dogs, two sassy cats, and a baby ball python myself- variety is the spice of life. If you’re looking for a medically experienced caretaker for your kids, I’m your gal! *also have grooming experience with medical needs animals I just moved to the Asheville area, so Im excited to explore around. I have just taken a M-Th veterinary position, but I still plan on working Rover into my schedule! I have two friendly dogs, who will play with dogs that want to play, ignore the ones who don’t, and will be gentle with the young and little ones. I do not have a yard, but I am very active and used to taking my large dogs for >3-4 mile walks daily.
“I cannot recommend Kali for you enough! SHE IS A GEM! My first time sitting my dog was a terrible experience and I was terrified to sit him again but a family emergency popped up and I came across her profile. Her house is clean and she was so nice during the meet and greet, my dog Smokie adores her. Not only did she go over plans on what to do with Smokie while we were away but wrote down a detailed list of everything we told her which sits out in her home in case an emergency happened on her end that anyone coming to watch her own dogs and our dog would know exactly what he needed. She also provided us with all of her emergency contacts so we knew anyone who may be in her home. She also has close contact with the vets in the area if something should happen with our pet. She is amazingly organized and prepared. The dogs have plenty of space to roam and she even had a quiet room for the dogs that can’t roam if she had to pop out of the house and can’t bring the dogs. I will never even consider another sitter after booking with her because they all pale in comparison!”
“David and April - and their dog Joe - were the perfect hosts for my dog Winnie! We had a "meet and greet" a couple of weeks before her boarding, and I immediately felt at ease. I got pictures and a short report every day which eased any concerns I might have had (I really didn't have any after the meet and greet). Their house is very clean and comfortable, and David and April made sure to give Winnie the attention she needed to quickly adjust. I am very thankful I have been able to find someone who I feel so comfortable with - and will look forward to my next trip knowing Winnie will be very well cared for.”
“Wow! We cannot say enough wonderful things about Alyssa and Bryan and the care they gave Theo on his recent (and 1st overnight) visit. The property is a dream, and they are both dog people who know how handle introductions and new environments. Our dog is typically skittish and protective over us and he had the time of his LIFE with them. They are now our go-to in hopes they don’t book out so far in advance haha. So thankful to have found a wonderful family and new friends.”
“Jordan was super sweet and easy to book with! She was very responsive and accommodating, she took great care of my Lottie girl and I will 100% be using her in the future! Thank you, Jordan!”
“Laura was amazing!! I got so many pictures and she was so communicative. Her and Kyle really know what they’re doing. My dog loved them and their pups, too! Definitely will be using them again ❤️”
“Toby had a great weekend with Ali and Penny. Ali took great care of him, gave frequent updates, and went above and beyond in her flexibility and taking care of our boy. Will definitely be asking her to watch Toby again next time I need a sitter.”
“My dogs loved staying with Breanne and her family! You can tell they really love dogs, and my dogs came home much happier than they usually do when I pick them up from a boarding facility. I would happily board with Breanne again!”
“Laura took such good care of our dog during our trip! She sent daily pictures and updates which helped us feel at ease. She has a great yard for dogs to run around and our dog had the best time! We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Addie is a Cairn/Westie mix who hasn't always been sure of how she feels about other pets. Because of that, we went to meet Ryan and her crew before we signed up with her. Addie LOVED her miniature zoo with cats and a dog, some bunnies, and a parrot! She came home from her stay very happy (and exhausted). She'd eaten all her food (which means she wasn't nervous) and Ryan had given her her dental chews and rawhide treats, so she was well and truly cared for. She had a ball! What more can you ask??? Thanks, Ryan - you're the best!”
“Brody was an excellent choice for Pepper! We needed to keep her calm and limit her movement due to medical restrictions and we felt she was extremely safe in Brody’s care. He went above and beyond to ensure she was safe and comfortable and I would 100% bring any of my pets back to him in the future!!”
“Nikki was beyond amazing with her care for our pup! Her home and property are a dog’s dream for endless running and outdoor time. She also made sure Asha got lots of great hikes on the nearby trails! Also, her dog is a wonderful play buddy! Nikki even gave us some goodies from her garden when we arrived and then made sure Asha got an early morning trail hike/romp early in the morning before we picked her up. We couldn’t have asked for better care for our fur-kid. Thank you, Nikki!!”
