“Laura is wonderful! She is warm and kind, and our dog had an amazing time with her and Tucker. She kept in contact and sent us pictures and updates while we were away which was greatly appreciated. We will definitely be using her again. Thank you so much, Laura! We think the world of you!”

“Susan and her family were incredible! We have never left our boys with anyone who isn't family, but Susan took care of them as if they were. If you are looking for some place for your dogs to get plenty of love and attention while you are away, I absolutely recommend Susan! We have already booked our next stay with her.”

“Kendra was so great! We had a quick overnight trip as we were traveling through town and she was so easy to work with. She sent pictures to update us and we could tell our dog was SO comfortable with her. We will definitely reach to Kendra again next time we travel through.”

“Being an owner of a small dog, I appreciate that Addie only sits for dogs under 15lbs. Another plus is that she works from home and is quick with responses to any questions I might have. The meet ‘n greet and sleepover went well so I will book with her again.”


“Hallie and her family were great! They watched over my two golden retriever pups while I was out of the county. She sent pics to keep me updated and it was nice that they were around other dogs during their stay. We will def have our pups stay with them again.”

“Jacob and his fiancée did such a wonderful job taking care of Teddy! He provided photos and updates often and I was confident he was being well taken care of. My puppy always looked so happy and like he was always having so much fun!”

“Millie loves going to see Megan’s family. I never worry if she’s well cared for. When my flight was delayed she was more than accommodating. Will never use anyone else🥰”

“Tianyu X. has been an absolutely wonderful Rover sitter for our dog, Scout. From the start, Tianyu was kind, attentive, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took the time to get to know Scout and treated her like she was her own pup. We loved that Tianyu safely introduced Scout to other small-breed dogs, giving her positive socialization and playtime. She also brushed Scout, took her on regular walks, and made sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. It was such a comfort knowing Scout was not only cared for, but truly loved. We received great updates and could tell Scout was having a fantastic time. We highly recommend Tianyu to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Christina was our little pup Shazam’s very first sitter over a decade ago during the dogvaycay.com days but when it transitioned to Rover, we couldn’t find her until just recently. So happy to have found her again and our now senior little guy Shazam still loved his time with her after all these years!”


“As a first time Rover user I was very hesitant leaving my little love with a stranger! Ron put my worries at ease from the meet and greet until the end of my trip! He was phenomenal! He sent photos while I was away so I could see what everyone was up to, and one of his photos was the best picture that has ever been captured of Scout (and is now my phone background)! When my flight home was cancelled, he was very flexible and understanding! I can really tell Ron took care of Scout, because when I usually leave him with friends, he is hoarse from barking, but not with Ron! I'm beyond satisfied and will continue to book with Ron for future travels Scout can't participate in!”

“Kat and Corey did a great job hosting my dog over a long weekend! They sent daily updates and photos and kept her active on lots of adventures to the park, the lake, and on hikes. I will definitely book my dog with Kat and Corey again next time I go out of town.”

“Ivy took great care of our Maltese during our family trip in Reno. Her location is very convenient for those visiting the area, especially if staying at the Nugget or the GSR. Ivy was very loving and patient with our dog and eventually he warmed up to Ivy after less than two days. We will definitely book with Ivy again for future visits in Reno.”

“Lisa was great! She did slow introductions with our shy/timid puppy. By later that day, they were all playing and she was sending some awesome photos. Truly a relief to find someone as kind and passionate about dogs as anyone would hope to find. Thank you Lisa!”

“Young was a wonderful sitter! My two pups stayed the weekend with him while I was out of town and I was really impressed with the whole experience! I received multiple updates, photos and videos of my boys throughout their stay, and it was clear they were having a fantastic time. We will definitely be back soon. Thank you for everything, Young!”

“Megan is an absolute rockstar, phenomenal experience boarding my dog with her family! They have a great location, all of their dogs and chickens were very welcoming! She is knowledgable, experienced, flexible, great listener and very intuitive. When I picked up my pup she was happy and super comfy, and then passed out as soon as she got home because of all the fun! Highly recommend, I'll definitely be a repeat client! Thanks Megan and family!! ?”

“She was so kind to us and our dog. She did everything to make him feel comfortable while away from us and followed any extra accommodations we had. I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to others!”

“The perfect boarding experience. Aaron and Nicole took excellent care of my Bernese Mountain Dog. Aaron and Nicole are attentive and caring. I felt at ease leaving Jelly in their care. I’ll definitely book with Aaron and Nicole again.”

“Kelly and Michael are incredible. They treat my animals amazing and are super informative and responsive. Highly recommend them and will use them in the future!”


“Madison was excellent with my cat, Ekko, and I would absolutely have her care for him again. She was punctual, very communicative, and sent great photos along with detailed updates each visit, which made it easy to feel confident while I was away. Ekko bonded with her very quickly and was affectionate and comfortable around her right away. It was clear she’s genuinely good with animals and really enjoys spending time with them, which came through in the care and attention she gave him. He was happy and well cared for when I got home. Madison has great energy, is friendly and trustworthy, and was flexible when needed. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

“Bridget provided a lot of love to our cat while we were out of town. She made daily visits to give Bootsy treats, pets, brushings and some playtime. She was consistent, sent photos each day and had great communication. I can tell that Bootsy was pleased with Bridget's attention. We will definitely be requesting Bridget's services again!”

“Krista was a great drop in pet sitter for our two kitties while we were away on an international trip. She gave daily updates & sent pics which were very much appreciated. Unfortunately, our booking had some severe weather complications & some dates had to be modified. She was very accommodating & we look forward to booking with her again in the future.”


“Kat takes wonderful care of Sherwood. She sent great pictures and had excellent communication regarding care and for his general health. I will definitely be a return customer!”


“Shanna was fantastic in caring for my cats while I was on a trip. Kept my boys fed at regular intervals and played with them during every visit. Usually my boys will be mad at me for a day or two when I return. However, they were acting normal just a few minutes after I returned.”


“You can tell a wonderful pet/house sitter both by how they interact with you, the state of your home, and your pet’s temperament when you return. Samantha is exceptional. We had a meet-and-greet that made us feel so comfortable, she sent the best updates while we were gone, and we returned to a pristine house and a happy kitty. Look no further if you need care for your fur babies!!”


“Emily took fantastic care of my cats, and I got great pictures every day of them having a good time playing with their flirt pole. She's so good I've already booked her for another trip.”


“Danika was an absolute life-saver when our cat ended up going to the emergency vet just a few days before my family and I were going on vacation for a whole week after. As he recovered from his vet visit, he required constant care which involved multiple check-ins a day, monitoring how often he drank water, ate his food, and used the litter box. He also needed to be given 3 different medications on different time schedules, 2 of which required being administered with a syringe in his mouth. Danika was able to do all of this and even texted us updates after each visit to let us know how things were going. Her availability on such short notice along with her attention to detail and genuine love and care for our cat gave us the peace of mind we needed to enjoy our vacation without feeling worried the entire time. I would gladly book her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone else needing someone to look after their kitties. Huge props to Danika!”

About: I am a caretaker! I'm closing my 36 year home based childcare. I LOVE the big puppies. My boy was 140lbs. passed 10/2024. I can be your puppy Grandma! (All dogs are puppies at heart) I have worked from home for over 36 years and plan to keep at home! I am moving from children to dogs. Spending every Summer on my Grandparents farm was heaven, lots of work, done with so much respect for the hours and lifestyle. I moved back to Hidden Valley to care for my parents and raise my kids. They are all gone and I am looking for a new direction, while tending my garden and remodeling. I have never been without a dog (dogs). My children are all in different States so, giving and getting my dog love fix vis sitting is the direction I'm heading as opposed to owning for now! I have always loved my pets more than any couch, so, furniture will be all access. How I will care for your pet will be up to you! 1/2 Acre fully fenced, 110 tree's, small grass area, DG to dig in. 24 years here and all of my dogs (passed) loved it. I have had 36 years of open communication with child parents and I will do the same for puppy parents. We should be cohesive and symbiotic. I left dry food out for my dogs, however, your dog your rules! Hidden Valley dog park is less than a mile from my home. My Livestock Guardian dog did not like the dog park so if yours does not I am totally ok going or not going! The Virginia Range is behind me and easily accessible for short hikes.
“Nicole is amazing!! Took photos of the critters so we could see how they were doing, and communicated very well with how the cars were doing. Very pleasant and upbeat, would 100 percent have her pet sit for us again.”

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I’m a small-breed dog mom to two friendly Shih Tzus. I’ve trained both of them from puppyhood, so I’m experienced in teaching calm behavior, basic obedience, and creating a well-structured environment for small dogs. I’m happy to reinforce good manners. I have a fenced backyard and a fenced small-breed dog park within walking distance, and we go there every other day for playtime and socializing. Leonard and Taylor are both gentle, well-behaved, and great companions for visiting pups. My home is calm, clean, and ideal for small-breed dogs who enjoy a safe and friendly environment. I’m available full time for boarding on weekends and holidays. On weekdays, my two Shih Tzus—Leonard (born April 2024) and Taylor (born March 2025)—stay home from about 10am to 6pm. They are used to a calm routine and do very well together. If your dog is comfortable being without a human for part of the day, weekday boarding can also work. I live in a house with a fenced backyard and a fenced small-breed dog park within walking distance. We go there every other day for playtime and sniff walks. Both Leonard and Taylor are friendly, gentle Shih Tzus who make great company for visiting small dogs. My home is clean, safe, and perfect for small breeds. I also have both small and medium crates available if you prefer your dog crated.
“Shawn was awesome taking care of my 7m old puppy. From corresponding to drop off, overnight stay and pick up, all were positive. My pup was happy upon pick up. I highly recommend Shawn.”

“My Phoebe had the best time while I had to leave out of town for 4 days. Young was very communicative through out the days, sending pictures and videos. 10/10 recommend”

“Jessica is fantastic! She made sure to arrange for our dog Andrey to meet their dog before doing daycare/boarding in order to make sure the pooches would get along happily, and they sure did. Their dog Cap is a cutie! Jessica took great care of Andrey, giving him lots of attention and supervising his happy playtime with Cap. Her home is an excellent environment, and she took Andrey on nice long walk as well. He came home happy, healthy, and tired, just like we'd hoped. I highly recommend Jessica to entrust with your pooch.”

About: I have many years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs, including senior dogs and dogs with disabilities. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable providing extra care, medication, mobility assistance, and lots of love and companionship.

I make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and tended to according to their individual needs. I have a large house with a fenced in yard.
“Danielle was a fantastic sitter for Oreo! She was incredibly responsive and her home is perfectly set up for dogs - I loved seeing the protective sheets on the sofa, a dedicated water station, and a secure yard for roaming. She kept us updated with photo and messages while we were skiing, which we really appreciated. Oreo came home happy and even smelled great! It’s clear she takes excellent care of her guest dogs. We will definitely be booking with her again when we’re back in Reno!”

“Sarah was so friendly, accommodating and communicative! Even before we spent a full day with Sarah, our pup sprinted to her. Talk about a green flag! We really appreciated Sarah rescheduling our meet and greet a few times as well since the holidays are such a busy time.”

About: Hi! My name is Jessica, I'm 36 years old and currently living in Reno. I love being outside especially if I'm with my fur babies! I've had dogs since I was a child and I volunteered at Marin Humane and SFSPCA for years which was a great experience! It's helped me learn a lot about different dog personalities and traits to better handle and care for them. Toto is my 11 year old Cairn Terrier who loves hunting lizards, joining a zoom call or 2, and taking naps. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby :) Luckily I currently work from home full time with a very flexible schedule when it comes to walks, potty breaks, and snuggles. I also live in a community near multiple dog parks and walking paths. I will care for your dog the way that makes you and the animal feel the most comfortable, whether they like to be left alone in a crate for comfort or enjoy snuggles and scratches on the couch I cater to all needs! :)
“Brittany was great! Very good communication. Sent pictures of my pup during the day and was mindful of my old girl’s joints, making sure she didn’t play too hard. Would definitely use Brittany again!”
“Destiny is AWESOME!!! She is truly an expert but also has a special doggie superpower! The level of care and attention to detail is unmatched. She is communicative and very attentive to not only your pups needs- but also the anxious dog dad's needs. PLEASE do yourself a favor and hire this (actual) expert to care for your fur baby!”

“Elaine was very sweet and understanding with my pup. I highly recommend her. My pup is going through separation anxiety and she was great with her. I will be contacting her again!☺️”


“Shawna took great care of our high energy puppy! She showered our pup with lots of caring energy and outdoor play! We loved all the picture updates throughout the day!”
“Timber doesn’t love or even like most people or other dogs. But it’s clear they hit it off from the very start. Thanks, Maddie. We look forward to brining her back.”

“Bridget came through for me in a last minute bind and was very communicative. Very happy to know someone so reliable now & will definitely use again for walking services.”

About: Hi, I’m Kiara! I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, and I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and love. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or making sure your pet gets fed and cared for on schedule, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they’re my own—lots of attention, cuddles, and care. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether you need daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight pet sitting, I’ll make sure your pets get the exercise, love, and attention they deserve. I’m currently unemployed and a new first time mommy just trying to make ends meet. I am available 24/7 and I am okay with last minute bookings! When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure they stay on their usual routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll provide fresh food and water, clean up after them, and give them the love and attention they’re used to. For dogs, that means plenty of walks, playtime, and belly rubs to keep them happy and exercised. For cats, that could be play with their favorite toys, brushing, or just quiet company for more independent kitties. I always take time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs—whether it’s an energetic pup who loves adventure or a shy cat who just needs gentle care. I’ll keep food and litter/walk areas tidy, follow your instructions closely, and keep an eye out for any changes in behavior or health. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel reassured that your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Carrie is awesome. When I sent her a message, she responded back super fast and is great about communicating when she can or cannot walk my dog. She is always punctual and has a wonderful personality. 😊”

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! He has quickly become such an important part of Zara’s routine. The second she realizes he’s at the door to pick her up, she completely loses her mind with excitement—it’s the sweetest thing to watch. She absolutely adores him, and it’s clear the feeling is mutual. He is incredibly patient, attentive, and genuinely cares about the dogs he looks after. Knowing Zara is happy, loved, and so excited to spend time with him gives me complete peace of mind. It’s not easy finding someone you trust with your dog, but I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. We feel so lucky to have found him!”

“We loved having Madison walk our dog summit! She was great with him, and very communicative with us. She’s probably the best person we’ve been able to book with this app. We will hopefully be regulars!”

“Shanna has been wonderful walking our dog, Danny, on his hour long walks. She is professional, patient, and very knowledge about animals. I would highly recommend her services!”

“Kendra is everything you could ask for in a dog sitter; she’s reliable, flexible, and takes excellent care of my pup! I have nothing but great things to say about her and I’m so grateful to have found her!”


“Brooke was very good with our shy girl on her walks. She read her body language and never tried to pressure her into doing anything she didn't want to do. We were highly impressed with her and will absolutely rebook her for future walking services as needed.”

About: I have cared for animals since I was 15. From senior dogs who require pills or injections to puppies. Our pack ranges from 2-5 dogs at a time as dogs truly find us (and we can’t say no!). We also have 2-3 cats at any time. Often times, animals are better than most humans. During the school year, I work for the school district and I would love to show my daughter what a good work ethic looks like. I’m most available during breaks and the summer but depending on the week/day I can help out for walks, overnights or whatever your pups may need. My daughter may come with me on visits but, she doesn’t need to go with me on them all! At home, I can crate your dog if needed and keep an eye on him/her in the back yard. When on walks, I am aware of our surroundings and always prepared for whatever could come up.

About: I am a student at the University of Nevada, Reno and have loved animals since a young age! From walking my neighbors dogs to pet sitting for family friends, I look forward to meeting and taking care of your fur babies. Pet care fits into my schedule because I am free during the typical work day! Taking your pets on walks or just outside for some play time can make a huge difference in their day and for perfectly into mine. I do not have any pets so yours are my number one priority! I can come to you keeping you pet in a familiar space.
About: With years of hands-on experience, I'm comfortable and confident caring for a wide range of pets, from playful puppies to relaxed senior dogs and independent cats. My passion for animals is what truly sets me apart—I'm not just a sitter; I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. Specialized Skills & Compassionate Care I understand that every pet has different needs, and I'm skilled at providing personalized care for yours.

About: Hi! I’ve grown up around pets my whole life, including both cats and dogs. I’ve been using Rover for years, and I genuinely love getting the chance to meet and care for new furry friends! I’m very attentive to their routines and schedules, and I always make sure to set aside plenty of time in my own schedule to give them the attention, care, and companionship they need. Since I work part-time, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make plenty of time for pets. I’m available Wednesday through Saturday and can also care for pets before or after work on the other days. I enjoy having animals as part of my routine and am happy to make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I provide care in the pet's own home, where they can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also make sure their space stays clean and that they have everything they need while their owners are away.
About: I've grown up with 2 puppers and a few cats with most recently 12 years with my cat and dog. I am looking to give your pets some good outdoor time or just drop in and make sure they're fed and watered if need be! I can give medications if needed as well and have a background in pharmacy. I work per diem with an irregular schedule. I usually have availability on weekdays and/or afternoons. Due to my schedule I do need at least 24 hour notice before any drop ins or walks! I am just finishing up an educational training job going onto a per diem position that will have plenty of weekdays open for drop ins, walks or other play activities. I will not have a space to pet sit in my home however I will be able to travel to care for your pets at your home or wherever and set it up for your pet's preference.
About: I’ve had the privilege to be around all sorts of animals since I was 2, all from Terriers to German Shepherds, cats, and different birds as well. I grew up with all sizes so I’m used to big dogs and small dogs. I’ve also raised two puppies of my own in the past 6 years and have also been around many older fur babies as well. I currently working full time Monday-Friday 8a-5p but I’d still love to care for your fur babies as long as we can workout a schedule that benefits both of us! My number one priority is to always make sure your pets are as comfortable as needed since it can be stressful enough for their humans to be gone. Whether it is lounging on the couch with them, taking them outside, or simply playing with toys with them I like to make sure to keep their routine as similar as they have with you.

About: I got my first dog in second grade, and have always had a kinship with dogs and animals of all types. I have taken k-9 basic obedience courses and have over a years worth of training and rehabilitating displaced dogs; some even with aggressive behaviors. Over that year I gained my certification in dog handling. I have lived on a farm the last 8 years and have worked and cared for; livestock guardian dogs, herding breeds and many other types of animals. I am now back in school, and recently lost my furry best after 10.5 long wonderful years together, I am generally first on my friends list to help with dog sitting and help with their furry family members. Pretty flexible! Let me know what you need and I'm sure something can be worked out. I work on my own schedule and usually can be open to changes with a little notice. My experience with training and rehabilitation has shown me great safety practices, and reading environments and potential dangers. I can't bring animals to my home because of family health issues there. But I am considerate and respectful of others and their homes.
About: Worked closely with dogs and cats in a general practice veterinary clinic, developing a strong understanding of animal behavior, body language, and overall welfare. Gained experience recognizing signs of good health as well as changes in behavior or condition that may indicate illness or stress. Prioritized providing calm, compassionate care while ensuring each animal's safety and comfort, building confidence in handling pets with a variety of personalities and needs. I work full-time from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. On those days, I'm available for check-ins or potty breaks before 7am or after 5:30pm, resulting in 8+ hours. On Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, I have a much more flexible schedule and can provide drop-in visits, potty breaks, walks, or playtime every couple of hours as needed. I'm committed to making sure each pet receives reliable care, attention, and plenty of love while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I take extra care to prevent escapes by being mindful around doors, gates, and leashes, and I always pay close attention to each pet's body language to help them feel comfortable and reduce fear or stress. I understand that every animal has a different personality, and I'm happy to work at their pace to build trust. For everyone's safety, I do not offer boarding in my home or bring my own pets to client homes, as I have a reactive dog and cats of my own. This allows me to give your pet my full attention in the environment where they are most comfortable.

I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable providing extra care, medication, mobility assistance, and lots of love and companionship. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to make sure each one feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m currently available and have a very flexible schedule. I’m able to dedicate plenty of time to caring for dogs and can accommodate different schedules and routines. With my years of experience caring for dogs—including senior and disabled dogs—I’m dependable, patient, and committed to providing them with the attention and care they need. My own dogs are walked every day and are very loved and spoiled. They are both seniors, so I’m experienced with providing them the extra attention, patience, and care that older dogs need. I make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and tended to according to their individual needs. I have a large house with a fenced in yard.

“Susan and her family were incredible! We have never left our boys with anyone who isn't family, but Susan took care of them as if they were. If you are looking for some place for your dogs to get plenty of love and attention while you are away, I absolutely recommend Susan! We have already booked our next stay with her.”


“Hallie and her family were great! They watched over my two golden retriever pups while I was out of the county. She sent pics to keep me updated and it was nice that they were around other dogs during their stay. We will def have our pups stay with them again.”

“Jacob and his fiancée did such a wonderful job taking care of Teddy! He provided photos and updates often and I was confident he was being well taken care of. My puppy always looked so happy and like he was always having so much fun!”

“Millie loves going to see Megan’s family. I never worry if she’s well cared for. When my flight was delayed she was more than accommodating. Will never use anyone else🥰”

“Christina was our little pup Shazam’s very first sitter over a decade ago during the dogvaycay.com days but when it transitioned to Rover, we couldn’t find her until just recently. So happy to have found her again and our now senior little guy Shazam still loved his time with her after all these years!”

“Kat and Corey did a great job hosting my dog over a long weekend! They sent daily updates and photos and kept her active on lots of adventures to the park, the lake, and on hikes. I will definitely book my dog with Kat and Corey again next time I go out of town.”

“Ivy took great care of our Maltese during our family trip in Reno. Her location is very convenient for those visiting the area, especially if staying at the Nugget or the GSR. Ivy was very loving and patient with our dog and eventually he warmed up to Ivy after less than two days. We will definitely book with Ivy again for future visits in Reno.”

“Lisa was great! She did slow introductions with our shy/timid puppy. By later that day, they were all playing and she was sending some awesome photos. Truly a relief to find someone as kind and passionate about dogs as anyone would hope to find. Thank you Lisa!”

“Megan is an absolute rockstar, phenomenal experience boarding my dog with her family! They have a great location, all of their dogs and chickens were very welcoming! She is knowledgable, experienced, flexible, great listener and very intuitive. When I picked up my pup she was happy and super comfy, and then passed out as soon as she got home because of all the fun! Highly recommend, I'll definitely be a repeat client! Thanks Megan and family!! ?”

“She was so kind to us and our dog. She did everything to make him feel comfortable while away from us and followed any extra accommodations we had. I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to others!”

“The perfect boarding experience. Aaron and Nicole took excellent care of my Bernese Mountain Dog. Aaron and Nicole are attentive and caring. I felt at ease leaving Jelly in their care. I’ll definitely book with Aaron and Nicole again.”

“If you want someone to love on your pups while you’re away, Wendy is the perfect person to do that. Charlie and Lola were well taken care of, always hydrated, and always had things to do. Thank you Wendy!”

“Shannon and David were a delight to work with; prompt with availability, clear and responsive in communication, and so full of care and attention when watching Willa. For this past trip, I (the primary owner) was out of service and needed to connect Shannon and David with my partner. They were willing to accommodate this secondary contact. They also went above and beyond in picking Willa up from her previous sitter. All of the communication leading up to the trip made me feel like Willa would be in conscientious care and that proved true. Willa was excited to see me when I picked her up, but she also seemed at home and at ease. I highly recommend Shannon and David!”

“Very fast at responding - felt safe dropping my newly adopted dog for her first ever night away from home. I enjoyed Sarah having the presence of other dogs for socialization. 10/10 would return again with Chloe :)”

“Max had a fantastic time! Thank you Kathryn for taking such good care of him! We received lots of pictures during his stay, he got to walk and play and get cuddles.”

“I am so happy with the care Sarge received!! He’s little and old and I was nervous to leave him, but Kristin was kind and accommodating of his picky eating habits, and sent lovely updates. Absolutely will look to them again for our next trip!!!”

“This was the second time Ludo has stayed with Shanna. He immediately recognized her house and got SO excited to go inside, which made me feel extra happy she was able to watch him again. I love that she send pictures and updates. I genuinely feel that her and her family care so much for the dogs they watch. They even send Ludo home with a cute bandana and treats for us and him. I am very thankful for Shanna and her family.”

“Brittany has been such a wonderful and reliable sitter! Our boy loves going to visit her, and its such a relief knowing he is so loved and well taken care of when he is away from home. I highly recommend her!”
