“I was thoroughly impressed with how well they took care of my dog Enzo. She and her husband and her kids were extremely warm and welcoming, and I knew he was in good hands from the moment I introduced myself and my dog.. They are extremely easy to work with, super accommodating, and generally just really good down to earth people. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of boarding their animal. I will definitely use them again in the future. Thanks so much to Kim and her family. Andrew”
“Ashleigh was amazing. She helped us out last minute and took great care of our dog. He is an older dog with meds and she was so good to him. We got updates and photos daily. She was so easy to communicate with and really loved on my dog while I was away! I would highly recommend Ashleigh!”
“Alex did a great job taking care of our dogs! We got updates with pictures while they were out for walks and when we picked them up they were safe, happy, and tired from playing. We highly recommend Alex!”
“Amy was incredible! She was so sweet to our Sammie and was so kind to send pictures and updates while we were away. Sammie was taken care of perfectly and we truly hope to have her stay with Amy again the next time we need care!”
“Ann & Adam took such great care of my boy Leonard. Lots of activities and pix, and their dog Archer has a great temperament. Leonard came home happy and in a good state of mind.”
“We could not have asked for a better dog sitter! Nicole and her family welcomed our three dogs with short notice for memorial weekend along with two other family’s dogs resulting in a total of six dogs in their house. Upon arrival, Nicole went above and beyond unloading the dogs, crates, food, etc. out of my car as I tended to my crying 3 month old baby. It was such a relief. Our dogs had a blast playing with their new buddies and never missed a chance for lovins from Nicole’s two daughters. We received updates including pictures every day so we were at ease knowing our pups were well taken care of. When Nicole found out we had to do an abundance of driving with our 3 baby the day we were due back to pick up our dogs, she even offered to drop our dogs off at our house in Bend to ease our stress and save our evening! We could not have been more thankful! We will definitely book with her and her fam again!”
“Colin and his daughters were incredibly kind and helpful watching our dogs over the holiday weekend — especially with only 30 minutes notice! They sent photo updates throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind, and we never had to worry about our pups at all. It’s clear they genuinely care about the animals they watch. We’re so grateful for their flexibility and care, and would absolutely book with them again!”
“Otis had such a blast with Lisa and was so well cared for. We had some instructions for Lisa to provide minor medical care for Otis during his stay with her. She was so kind and supportive and handling this as well as providing a lot of comfort and companionship for him while we were away. She also trimmed Otis’ nails and cleaned up some paw fur that was irritating him. She built a lot of trust with him and he felt so at home in her care. Couldn’t ask for more.”
“Our family booked a last minute camping trip and Alyssa was quick to respond, easy to communicate with and provided daily updates about our 2 dogs. She went above and beyond giving our dogs exercise (one who is very active) and lots of snuggles and love in the evening. I would highly recommend her to watch your pets and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”
“Gregory was amazing!! He sent updates with pictures and kept us in the loop all week. Our dogs had the best time playing with Gregory, his wife, and their dog! He was super flexible and we will definitely use him again if we are in the area!! Thanks Gregory!”
About: My husband and I have two 13 year dogs who we’ve raised since little pups. We’ve both always had family dogs and lots of experience in a family environment. We have both done several dog training sessions with our boys, and take pride in being good family members to our dogs. We have a toddler who looooooves dogs, so only kiddo friendly dogs allowed in our home. She is very gentle and respects their boundaries! I work from home so I can provide lots of love, potty breaks and 1-2 walks a day! Working from home gives me a lot of flexibility. I prefer that day time dog sitting happen while my daughter is at school, but I’m happy to talk about schedules. I do 1-2 walks a day and am home to make sure doggos get potty breaks and always have fresh water. We have a large home with a fenced yard. We live in a neighborhood with minimal traffic. There is an off leash park right across the street as well. I’m home a lot so I can monitor and be good company for your dog!
“Aubin is a wonderful sitter! She communicated well, sent pictures, and gave our dog lots of love and attention. She even went out of her way to do a special favor for us which made our lives so much easier when returning from our trip.”
“Dexter’s first overnight with Lisa and Dave was fabulous. I knew he was in a safe and attentive environment from their frequent and detailed updates. Lisa and Dave adjusted to Dexters regimented feeding schedule with ease and made sure he was comfortable. Plus, Dexter has two new friends in Fezzi and Scout, their Cavaliers. I will be booking with them again!”
“Claire is the absolute best! We have a very high energy Aussie, and Claire took such amazing care of her. Our girl was so happy and content when we picked her up. Thank you so much, Claire!”
About: I've had dogs all my life. I recently lost my 16 year old dog Juno after rescuing him when he was 4. I gave him the very best life possible and while I'm not ready to get another dog yet, I need to have dogs in my life. I am both volunteering and fostering dogs through Street Dog Hero which has been great. II'm happy to have your pup curl up next to me on the couch and also in bed. I'm also fine to administer medication. I'm basically retired so available to spend almost the whole day with your dog. I will occasionally have errands, go for a run, etc and happy to let your dog stay home alone if you're comfortable or perhaps go for a ride if convenient. I have my own home, fully fenced front and back yard. Your dog will get at least 2-3 walks per day and can be crated if that's your preference (you will need to provide the crate).

“This was our second opportunity to work with Megan and we continue to find her to be kind, dependable and helpful at every turn. We are able to leave our pets with confidence knowing Megan is at the helm. Thank you Megan!”
“Kelly and Sam were not only attentive and active with our cats, but also wonderful, thoughtful house sitters. Thankful to come home to a happy and peaceful pack of cats, landscaping and garden of green plants despite 100 degree temperatures all week, and a tidy house. They provided frequent updates, and were incredibly understanding considering high temps and the lack of air conditioning in our house. Would not hesitate to have them care for our cats and home again. Thank you so much, Kelly and Sam!”
About: As a lifelong cat lover, caring for cats has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve grown up around them and know how to read their moods, respect their space, and give them attention when they want it. Whether your cat loves playtime, cuddles, or just a calm presence, I’m here to keep them happy and relaxed while you’re gone.
About: I have had dogs in my life since I was born. I work in Downtown Bend and can frequently check in! I have a proven track record of being responsible and reliable for all different types of dogs. I will be available mostly weeknights after 5pm and weekends! I work in Downtown Bend so I can stop by for potty breaks and have plenty of time to play after work! I am always sure to get the dogs energy out! My apartment has a nice dog area and I can take them on long walks as well! My own dogs are not currently living with me so there will be no other dogs present at my apartment.
“Megan is awesome! She is very attentive to details and excellent in her communication. She sent pics and thoughtful notes with each visit she made while I was traveling. Beyond that my pups loved all the attention and play time she gave them.”
“Milissa is wonderful with my dog Marshall! She is very communicative and dependable. She was very accommodating when I had a lot of schedule changes. She sends me wonderful updates while I’m at work that brighten my day. Highly recommend her services!”
About: I have cared for many animals. I have 3 children and we always had a family pet. They are now grown and have pets of their own. I have been in a bind before and had to use Rover for my own animal, and it was a lifesaver. I am hoping I can help you out too! I am currently a housewife with open availability! Its just me and my little shih tzu. Plenty of time for walks and play while your away! We live in a gated community near Mountain View, which is perfect for walks as well as having a fenced yard for play time. I do allow my dog on my bed, and try and keep him off the couch, but doesn't always work. Lol
About: Hi, I’m Heather! A lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I specialize in dog walks and drop-in visits and treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether your pet is full of energy, nervous around new people, or needs a little extra TLC, I meet them where they are - with patience, love, and trust. I’m reliable, communicative, and always happy to send updates and photos while you're away. I know how hard it is to leave your pet with someone new. So, I’m here to make that experience safe, smooth, and positive for both you and your furry family member! I work from home full time - so I’m pretty flexible on schedules! I can make just about anything work and will give ample notice if a schedule change happens. I care for pets in their own home where they feel safe and comfortable! I follow your instructions closely, maintain routines, give plenty of love, and always make sure they’re fed, exercised, and happy. I know these types of situations can be stressful for some animals - so, I will do everything in my power to make them as comfortable and happy as possible.
About: I am one of those people who will spend most of his time at a party hanging out with the host's pet. I love the joy and occasional challenge of meeting a new animal, figuring out how to communicate with them, and earning trust and friendship. Between growing up with dogs, and being asked to watch dogs, cats, and homes in my neighborhood since I was a kid, I feel confident in my ability to both meet new animals and give them care. My additional experience includes working at a cat vet clinic, as well as working at several animal sanctuaries where I cared for animals like wolves, tigers, chimpanzees, and horses. Those opportunities have allowed me to practice the ability to communicate with all kinds of animals and individual animal temperaments. I love just making sure a pet can go out for a walk, get some play time, get a good brushing, or just feel relaxed by not being alone. I want to give you and your pet a stress-free and enjoyable experience. I'm looking forward to teaming up with you to make that happen. My schedule is currently quite flexible, and I would love to fill it with some pets who want somewhat regularly scheduled walks or visits, whether that is most days, every couple days, once a week, or for big family outing days. I am available to stay overnight with a pet most nights assuming I have a little warning so that I can make sure it works well for my wife and for my own pets. I have a small apartment and 2 cats who don't care for many other animals, so unfortunately I cannot host your pets at my home. However, I am used to staying in other people's homes, or just visiting their homes, to care for their pets.
About: Growing up I we always had pets, from the youngest I can remember, I’ve done it all; dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, rats, hampsters, hermit crabs, aquariums, as well as stopping to save roads and frogs from the road! (I currently still do this!). Let me know if I could help you! I work full time. At the moment I have Mondays and Tuesdays off. Depending on location and service I can do some things after I’m off work at 9-9:30PM We are very conscious about not letting pets out or escaping from our yard, I take the same seriousness with other peoples pets. We have GPS collars that constant track our fur babies. Whatever I do with your pet’s, you can trust they will be taken care of and loved.

“Stacey was awesome! She and her team of two dogs kept our little lady ? more than entertained for the day. She gave me updates throughout the day. Outstanding communication! Would definitely work with her anytime!”
“Another wonderful experience with Greg and Millie. We needed to take her there as we had medical emergency issue. We had been there for the first time the day before. Chopa was stressed because her Daddy was not back. When we drove up to Greg's house she became so excited.”

“Meredith is a fantastic dog sitter. Not only was she quick to respond, she also gave me regular updates on my dog during his time with her that reassured me he was doing well. Our dog came home happy and worn out from playing all day.”
About: Working remotely gives me the flexibility to do what I love, spend time with animals. I share my home with two cats, Miso and Gnocchi, and my rescue dog Caesar, whom I have spent the last two years training extensively in partnership with a local trainer using fear free tools. I grew up with cats, and have fostered dogs through local rescues. That experience has made me comfortable with animals of all temperaments, backgrounds, and needs. When your pet is with me, they are in caring, experienced hands. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I work remotely with designated meeting blocks, which means I have the flexibility to plan drop-ins and walks around my schedule with ease. My mornings tend to be busiest, so afternoons are largely free. I can make time throughout the day when needed. I love being outdoors, so walks are never a chore. Whether your pup needs a quick stroll or a longer adventure, I am happy to go at whatever pace and distance they enjoy. The safety and comfort of every pet in my home is my top priority. Because I have two cats, any dog coming into my home must be cat-tested beforehand. This ensures a stress-free environment for everyone. I take introductions seriously and never rush the process. My own dog Caesar is a rescue, and we have worked through a lot together over the past two years. That experience has made me confident and adaptable. I know how to read an animal's comfort level and adjust accordingly, whether that means giving them space, a slower introduction, or extra reassurance. Every pet is different, and I am happy to work at whatever pace feels right for yours. I am also able to crate pups and take them outside with ease when needed.
“We got so many cute photos of our sweet boy and saw he was having a blast with Nicole and her family! She was so easy to get in touch with and I knew our sweetie was with a very responsible and kind sitter.”
“Casey was a consummate professional and I would utilize her services again! She sent plenty of photos and gave my boy plenty of opportunity to play. She even accommodated a last minute schedule change!”
“They are great to have watch Riley. I boarded her with them when I work and go on trips. They are so good with Riley and when we get to their house Riley gets excited and runs into their house. I will always use Julie and Colin when I need someone to take care of Riley.”
About: I grew up on a farm, and have had a huge love of animals, particularly dogs since I can remember. I meet new animals almost daily, and most people are surprised by how quickly their animal warms up to me. I am my friends go to house/pet sitter and they fully trust me in providing great care for their fur babies. I recently transitioned from a high demand job to a primarily remote work long job. This allows me to spend quality time with your animals, and be present for walks, bathroom breaks, and extra love. I get to know the animal and what is going to best meet their needs and will cater to the animal and owner. Depending on the pet, I can hang out and snuggle or go for walks, to the dog park, or just simply engage them in your yard.
About: 18-year dog mom in Bend, Oregon with hands-on experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors needing extra patience, mobility support, and medications.

I’m patient, calm, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s routine, comfort, and unique personality, with experience creating safe, supportive environments where dogs can feel at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home in Bend, Oregon.

“Donna has a wonderful setup for dogs with lots of space to run around and fresh running water! She was also very accommodating in helping us out - giving Norah a place to run around while I was in town for work. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve always had a pet as a member of my family. Cats and dogs. My current love is a super chill (yes, there is such a thing!) lab. Every walk is a mini training adventure. My lab Riley will get along with your pup, it’s just his nature. I provide enrichment during the day to keep boredom away. If I visit your cats, I know they might not visit me! I’ll just sit on the floor and wait for them to come out from under the bed! I’m fortunate to be able to adjust my retiree schedule every day. I’m flexible to your particular pet’s needs and schedule. It depends on the type of service, in my home or in yours. I have a completely fenced, (tall too) back yard. I don’t leave my pup unattended while he’s out. We leash walk mornings, afternoon and evenings. I have numerous sniffing loops I use as I live along the canal.
“Carlay is a wonderful pet sitter! She was easy to communicate with and truly went above and beyond to provide the best possible care for our cavapoochon puppy, Lily. Carlay even arranged for us to visit with her and her pup, Willa, several days before our scheduled service so we could make sure Lily and Willa would be comfortable and get along well. Willa is an incredibly sweet and patient dog, and Lily had the best time playing with her! And Carlay herself was not only kind, flexible, patient, and accommodating, but she also provided enrichment, socialization, and excellent overall care. Lily does have significant separation anxiety, so we especially appreciated all the photos Carlay sent of a very happy and active Lily. When we picked Lily up, she was clearly very comfortable and extremely happy. We would absolutely recommend Carlay to anyone, and we will definitely hire her again the next time we need pet sitting services in Bend, Oregon!”
About: I have two pets of my own, a 6-year-old tabie cat named Chip and a 3-year-old Golden Doodle named Waffles. I've had them both since babies so I'm very familiar with the different stages of growth. We're an active family so I prioritize lots of potty and play breaks during the day while I work from home. We have lots of toys to stay entertained, as well as cozy couches to take naps on. I've cat/dog sat many times for friends and neighbors and have grown passionate about caring for all fur babies and making sure they feel comfortable and happy while their parents are away and most importantly understand the importance of daily photo updates throughout the day. I work from home, so potty breaks for dogs are every 2 hours. As well as making sure they're comfortable throughout the day with playtime and feeding schedules. I have a pet-friendly apartment, I allow pets on furniture and have toys available to play with at all times but if your pet doesn't do well with toys lying around I would be more than happy to remove them if necessary.
About: I grew up around all types of animals on my grandparent’s 100 acre farm, and I have spent recent years taking care of two very loved pups and a big family. We no longer have dogs, but I would love to be there for your fur babies to make them feel loved, safe, and doted on while you are away! I’m a stay-at-home mom of three kids 👧🏻👧🏼👦🏼 (ages 4, 6, and 7), so please only reach out if your dog is good with kids. I also have a super flexible schedule to prioritize companionship, bathroom breaks, walks, play, feeding, and any concerns you might have. I only take one dog (or pair) at a time to make sure I give the best care possible and spoil them with love! 💗 We have a fenced yard and live near parks and river hiking trails. I love giving lots of extra attention and gentle pets! Let me know what needs your pet may have, and I will do my best to achieve them! I also enjoy setting up meet and greets to make sure that I am the perfect pet parent for your dog and to begin to create that loving, safe connection. It can be difficult to leave your pup, so I will take pictures and keep you updated. I will treat and love your pup as if it were my own! I am a stay at home mom, so I am able to be there for your dog and around for walks, bathroom breaks and couch cuddles. I leave the house for a few hours here and there but not all day. I am completely flexible to work with your schedule. I have a fenced yard. I also have kids 3-7 years old who are gentle with pets. Your dog can run free in our home and can also be kenneled when we go out. We live in a neighborhood that is great for walks, and close to parks. There are lots of kids and green spaces.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and caring for them comes very naturally to me. I’ve had pets growing up as well as currently, and have often watched dogs for friends and family over the years. I’m comfortable with different types of animals and have experience caring not only for dogs and cats, but also horses and chickens. I’m attentive, calm, and very respectful of each animal’s unique personality and needs. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. I work remotely as a full-time artist and content creator, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. I travel full-time in my camper van, which actually makes it easy for me to stay close by when caring for pets. When house sitting, I park in the driveway and stay nearby so I’m available for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day and evening. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and naturally build my routine around their needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, routines, walks, and any special care needs. Because I stay in my camper van parked at the home, I’m nearby and available throughout the day and night if your pet needs anything. I aim to keep their routine consistent so they feel secure while you’re away. I’m calm, attentive, and respectful of both the home and the animal’s personality and boundaries. I’m also happy to send regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I love being active and playing with dogs. I can run with them and I'm able to offer lots of attention to the most rowdy dog. I raised a German Shepard-Rottweiler mix and he's made me especially equipped to handle big dogs who pull and have a lot of strength.

I am very aware, organized, and trustworthy. I will keep a very close eye on your pup to make sure they are well exercised, fed, and have all their needs seen to!
About: I grew up with cats and dogs. I am comfortable with a wide variety of breeds and their needs. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs. I genuinely love animals, and taking care of them has always been a passion of mine. I have nearly a year of full-time experience working in a doggy daycare environment. During this time, I developed a strong ability to read canine body language and communication, manage group dynamics, and respond appropriately to a wide range of temperaments and energy levels. I strive to keep educating my self so I can continuously improve my skills in taking care of animals. I am able to create my own schedule. I would be able to accommodate your pet or pet’s, with routine walks, breaks and check in. I take care of any animal as if they were my own. My priority is to make all animals and humans involved comfortable. My clients homes are treated with respect and I always pick up after my self. I genuinely love being around animals and spending time with them. I strive to gain and maintain trust with my clients and their fur babies.
About: We have both been around and owned dogs since we were kids. I worked in a vet clinic from the time I was 14 all throughout high school. I also worked with a dog groomer for a few summers. I am an Animal Behavior College certified Dog Trainer as well as a wildlife biologist. Let's just say I love animals!! We are cat lovers too and would be more than happy to care for them also! We would provide the same level care for your pets as you do. We like to treat them like a member of our family and hope that they enjoy their time with us so much that they hardly know you are away. We know it is an honor and a privilege to be trusted with caring for your fury family member and we take that seriously and strive to never disappoint. I currently work from home for my main career as a Spatial Data Analyst (wildlife related). Your pet would have someone around aside from the occasional trip to the store or other errand. I will always communicate openly about my schedule during your visit so you are aware of any times I may have to be out of the house. I have a large fenced backyard and a 4-year-old Great Dane to keep your dog company! Thus, for stays in my home your dog must be dog-friendly, non-aggressive, and not afraid of large breeds. I also have four cats. I do have a doggie gate that keeps the cats separated, but one of them can jump the gate as she likes to sit on top of the kitchen cupboards and observe. Aaron and I have two sons, ages 7 and 10. They both have been around dogs their entire lives and are very used to respecting their space and letting dogs warm up to them. With that said, they are still kids. So for stays in our home, your dog will have to be good with other dogs, young kids, and cats. For stays in your home, your dog ideally will be okay with kids but my kids don't always need to come with depending on the dates of the stay.
About: I have my own dog, got him at 12 weeks he is 7 now. I also grew up with dogs as a kid to adulthood. My dog has a lot of health problems so I know a bit when it comes to a sensitive dogs or ones that needs things done a certain way because of a condition. It really depends on the day, but mostly I could so daily or weekly. I’m dealing with some health stuff and my dog has too. So I’m currently working on those but have plenty of time most days to do something like this. I have a fenced in yard for my dog, when I was in college one house I did it so he was constantly on a leash outside, another house I was in had fences but had to patch them up and make sure he couldn’t get out. I also created my dog at night he loves his crate. During the day when he is alone he has most of the house free to roam, but I will put down potty pads just in case. If clients are okay with there dog out or crated I’m for both.

About: I have had a dog my entire life and have house sit and cared for others pets since I was 16. My life is dedicated to adventuring and cuddling my dog and ensuring he is the happiest boy. We go to the river trail or good dog almost every day and I'm happy to take your dog to whatever park/place is their favorite to explore, play, and walk. I currently have my one dog in the home and no other pets. He is extremely friendly and loves playing with dogs of all sizes so he would be more than happy to share his bed (my queen-size bed) for a couple of nights. We're happy to do whatever makes your doggy happy! The days I work change based on the week but at the moment I'm working very short shifts about two days a week in the evening, so I have plenty of time to walk, play, and care for dogs. I have one extremely friendly dog who loves doggies of all kinds. We have a good-sized house with a big fenced back yard. My dog curls up on the couch and bed. My neighborhood is really quiet and calm and the river trail is a two min walk away from my front door, so we go to the river trail or good dog daily.

“I was thoroughly impressed with how well they took care of my dog Enzo. She and her husband and her kids were extremely warm and welcoming, and I knew he was in good hands from the moment I introduced myself and my dog.. They are extremely easy to work with, super accommodating, and generally just really good down to earth people. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of boarding their animal. I will definitely use them again in the future. Thanks so much to Kim and her family. Andrew”
“Ashleigh was amazing. She helped us out last minute and took great care of our dog. He is an older dog with meds and she was so good to him. We got updates and photos daily. She was so easy to communicate with and really loved on my dog while I was away! I would highly recommend Ashleigh!”
“Alex did a great job taking care of our dogs! We got updates with pictures while they were out for walks and when we picked them up they were safe, happy, and tired from playing. We highly recommend Alex!”
“Summer is an exceptional sitter. First time I ever left my dog with a sitter and Summer could have not been better. I felt like Bell was haveing an exceptional time, needs being met, and well taken care of.”
“Amy was incredible! She was so sweet to our Sammie and was so kind to send pictures and updates while we were away. Sammie was taken care of perfectly and we truly hope to have her stay with Amy again the next time we need care!”
“Ann & Adam took such great care of my boy Leonard. Lots of activities and pix, and their dog Archer has a great temperament. Leonard came home happy and in a good state of mind.”
“We could not have asked for a better dog sitter! Nicole and her family welcomed our three dogs with short notice for memorial weekend along with two other family’s dogs resulting in a total of six dogs in their house. Upon arrival, Nicole went above and beyond unloading the dogs, crates, food, etc. out of my car as I tended to my crying 3 month old baby. It was such a relief. Our dogs had a blast playing with their new buddies and never missed a chance for lovins from Nicole’s two daughters. We received updates including pictures every day so we were at ease knowing our pups were well taken care of. When Nicole found out we had to do an abundance of driving with our 3 baby the day we were due back to pick up our dogs, she even offered to drop our dogs off at our house in Bend to ease our stress and save our evening! We could not have been more thankful! We will definitely book with her and her fam again!”
“Colin and his daughters were incredibly kind and helpful watching our dogs over the holiday weekend — especially with only 30 minutes notice! They sent photo updates throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind, and we never had to worry about our pups at all. It’s clear they genuinely care about the animals they watch. We’re so grateful for their flexibility and care, and would absolutely book with them again!”
“Otis had such a blast with Lisa and was so well cared for. We had some instructions for Lisa to provide minor medical care for Otis during his stay with her. She was so kind and supportive and handling this as well as providing a lot of comfort and companionship for him while we were away. She also trimmed Otis’ nails and cleaned up some paw fur that was irritating him. She built a lot of trust with him and he felt so at home in her care. Couldn’t ask for more.”
“I think I found my new go-to sitter! Sarah was incredibly flexible with timing and so generous with the amount of pics she sent of Jasper. Jasper got dog park play, walks, backyard time, and indoor cuddles. Location is prime and Sarah is wonderful!”
“Our family booked a last minute camping trip and Alyssa was quick to respond, easy to communicate with and provided daily updates about our 2 dogs. She went above and beyond giving our dogs exercise (one who is very active) and lots of snuggles and love in the evening. I would highly recommend her to watch your pets and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”
“Although I did not drop our dog, Doug off or pick him up, my husband was very pleased with the care of our dog! Thank you, Alicia and Kyle for your time and we hope to see you soon!”
“We are really happy with how Britney cared for our pup. She responded very quickly and was a great communicator. She sent a pic and a video of him playing with her dogs. We will definitely be booking her again for care.”
“Angel, our golden retriever, came back relaxed and happy after spending 3 nights in Caitlin's care. She had a good time and got a 3 mile walk one day which gave her a good night's sleep. We will be booking with her on our next trip.”
About: My husband and I have two 13 year dogs who we’ve raised since little pups. We’ve both always had family dogs and lots of experience in a family environment. We have both done several dog training sessions with our boys, and take pride in being good family members to our dogs. We have a toddler who looooooves dogs, so only kiddo friendly dogs allowed in our home. She is very gentle and respects their boundaries! I work from home so I can provide lots of love, potty breaks and 1-2 walks a day! Working from home gives me a lot of flexibility. I prefer that day time dog sitting happen while my daughter is at school, but I’m happy to talk about schedules. I do 1-2 walks a day and am home to make sure doggos get potty breaks and always have fresh water. We have a large home with a fenced yard. We live in a neighborhood with minimal traffic. There is an off leash park right across the street as well. I’m home a lot so I can monitor and be good company for your dog!
“Aubin is a wonderful sitter! She communicated well, sent pictures, and gave our dog lots of love and attention. She even went out of her way to do a special favor for us which made our lives so much easier when returning from our trip.”
About: I've had dogs all my life. I recently lost my 16 year old dog Juno after rescuing him when he was 4. I gave him the very best life possible and while I'm not ready to get another dog yet, I need to have dogs in my life. I am both volunteering and fostering dogs through Street Dog Hero which has been great. II'm happy to have your pup curl up next to me on the couch and also in bed. I'm also fine to administer medication. I'm basically retired so available to spend almost the whole day with your dog. I will occasionally have errands, go for a run, etc and happy to let your dog stay home alone if you're comfortable or perhaps go for a ride if convenient. I have my own home, fully fenced front and back yard. Your dog will get at least 2-3 walks per day and can be crated if that's your preference (you will need to provide the crate).
