“Our pup was nervous given she hasn’t stayed anywhere without us for a few years, but Laura sent us photos of her sleeping, and it was clear that Laura was very attentive and loving, so we knew she was safe and sound. Hoping a few more visits at Laura’s will help our little Chihuahua settle in a little easier.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies who need lots of playtime to senior pets who require a gentler touch. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, administering basic medications, and giving plenty of love and attention. Friends and family often rely on me to look after their pets and homes because they know I’m dependable, patient, and truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique quirks. My goal is always to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy—just as if you were there. with them. I am a stay-at-home mom who cares for my son's medical needs and is a learning coach to my son, who does online schooling. I have babysat/done sleepovers with Huskies, German Shepherds, pit bulls, tiny dogs, and tabby cats. Due to being a stay-at-home mom, my son, who is 9 years old, would always be coming with me. We do online schooling so we can travel anywhere to make sure your dog has a safe, calming environment while you are out of town. I have a 3 year old Austrailan Cattle Service Dog in training. He is extremely friendly with dogs and cats. We are blessed to have adopted him into our lives.
“Barbara is a great awesome caregiver for my Maggie. She kept us updated every day and it seemed like Maggie probably didn’t wanna come home cause barber shows a lot of love towards animals. I would recommend her highly.”

“Odalis was wonderful! She’s super communicative and responsive and took great care of Kit. He came back happy as can be. I totally recommend and will definitely board with her again. Thank you!!”


“Our girl had a great time with Damon! We received a ton of pictures during our booking, and she was having a blast in every single one. Looking forward to booking with Damon again!”


“Ron will be our go-to guy as long as he is willing to take our dog! Our dog is always so anxious before and after we leave. He was excited to run into Ron’s home and has been so relaxed ever since we picked him up.”

“Bella loved it there. She was so happy playing with the dog and the kids. I was worried at first cause she has so much energy and can be a bit overwhelming, but she fit in perfect and was treated as if she was part of the family. I will definitely be calling her again. Thank you so much!”

“Jezka took great care of my dog Yoshi! She took him on lots of puppy playdates and sent cute pictures of their excursions! She has quick response time and is very nice! Would definitely recommend her to anyone I know ?”

“Aria is so sweet and takes the absolute best care of my senior blind yorkie. She always send updates and the cutest photos. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again in the future! :)”
“It was a great experience working with Dylan. I appreciated that my dog and I were able to meet and take a walk with him, and see his place before booking the trip; and also his flexibility when the dates changed just before my trip. His pictures of Luna and his notes were great to receive and I left town feeling comfortable that Luna would be in good hands. I will reach out again when in need.”

“Shawna and Matt proved to be excellent hosts for our dog, Hamburg. Their friendly and welcoming little companion (Maxwell) made our buddy feel right at home. We always had concerns about leaving our little buddy, but Shawna ensured we were regularly informed, and Matt made sure our furry friend received plenty of exercise. We have no reservations about boarding Hamburg with them again in the future. It's clear that he had a fantastic time. Thank you once more!”

“Saawan and Kangna were the best!! Our corgi is a lot to handle sometimes, being a high energy breed, with his barking, and corgi habits. And they did such a great job with him. He came home happy and tired. We loved the regular updates they sent and were so happy to see pictures always popping up while we were on our trip. We loved their communications and flexibility when we had a 5 minute delay picking up. We will sure be adding Saawan and Kangna to the top of our list for sitters.”

“Jalyssa is everything you want in a pet sitter. She's very accommodating and had no issues when I changed plans around. My anxious kitty did great with her and even opened up and enjoyed her time there. Would recommend”

“Kimo was great with Kovu! He was super communicative, provided daily updates and always checked in with me if he had specific questions to ensure Kovu was taken care of. Excited to have Kovu stay with him again!”

“Christopher is an exceptional doggie care provider. He took excellent care of our pup Finn that suffers from severe anxiety (other dogs). Finn stayed for a week and was completely relaxed and bonded to Christopher when we picked him up. He took Finn on some long hikes and provided beautiful pictures of Finn having a swell time ❤️ . This gave us great peace of mind 😌 We will definitely book with Christopher again!”


“Alysia was great! She sent me pictures each day of my dogs and their activities. It allowed me to relax and know that they were well taken care of while I was out of town. Thanks, Alysia!”


“Jake has been a God send for me and my dog Wilson. Wilson loses his mind when we get a couple blocks away from Jake's house - he's so excited he doesn't even look back at me as he goes inside. Jake's dog Zoe is also the sweetest. She's been a great companion for my dog when he stays with her. Jake sends me the cutest photos of the two of them playing and snuggling. I always trust my beloved pup is in great hands!”

“Great communication throughout the stay! We appreciated the pictures and videos through the day to give us the confidence our dogs were receiving the best care. We can’t wait to book with Mersal again! In fact, our dog Laika has been missing her new friends since she’s back home!”

“Mary Anne is fantastic! I felt at ease with her as soon as we met for the meet & greet, and she followed through wonderfully for the entire duration of pet sitting, with pictures and updates every day, as well as taking care of all needed tasks. I highly recommend her for anyone who needs to find a trustworthy sitter for their pets!”

“As a Rover Sitter myself, I’m so grateful to have connected with Alison & Tom to look after our shy girl. They were patient, communicative, and went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and happy! What more could you ask for?”

“Ann checked in our cat over a weekend while we were away. She was awesome! She posted lots of updates with photos so we knew how he was doing. She did all of the things we asked her to do. Most importantly, our cat was very relaxed and doing well when we got home. We would definitely use her again.”

“Tina took a great care of my cat Feliz! Always on time, followed every care tip, provided helpful drop-in cards, and gave very needed attention to my cat. I was not worried at all being out of town. Thank you!”
“Stacy always does well with my fur babies. She is thorough and on time! She checks in to clarify if needed and is very caring in her tasks. I am so appreciative of her pet sitting.”


“Rie is AMAZING!!! I’d give her ten stars if I could! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My kitten is still a baby and leaving him for a week was a scary prospect. After meeting Rie, I felt so much better about the whole thing! She is super communicative, so friendly & quick to respond. She eased my mind completely while I was away on vacation. Piggy Magic is an anxious cat (with an anxious mama!) and she made him feel right at home, with his own big room & his own big bed! He even had a new best cat friend to play with, which he seemed to love! He came home relaxed and happy and healthy, which was such a relief. Rie asked all the right questions before taking him in, and sent loads of pictures along with updates while I was away, which I sincerely appreciated and didn’t know I needed until I got them. All in all, I would highly, highly recommend hiring her for boarding any of your animals, as she is wonderful at what she does and clearly shows a lot of love to the pets in her care. Thank you Rie, from me and Piggy Magic!!! 😄🐷 we’ll be contacting you again in the future!!!”


“Adriana did a great job sitting our cat (and condo) for a month over the holidays. She left the condo clean and tidy and washed and dried the bed linen she’d used. Our cat, Tam, seemed very settled with her and Adrianna gave Tam her medicine as well as the basics of food, water and keeping her litter box clean. Adriana also kept Tam cuddled and happy. We would be hire Adriana again in a heartbeat.”

“J Does a great job with my pup and yesterday was super helpful because she drilled him on his commands and helped get some kongs prepped. J is reliable and communicates well.”

“Hayley did such an amazing job with our pup! She made sure to communicate with us about whatever we needed and treated our boy with the best care! All of the pictures she sent showed him looking so happy and it gave us peace of mind. Would definitely book with her again :)”

“Shannon is the first Rover pet sitter I have used, and I was a little concerned to use a person I had never met. However, I chose her because of her experience with cats. We did meet before her service days. She is very conscientious and knows the typical cat behaviors. Photos were sent often and we shared comments. My kitty quickly adapted to her and I could see this in the photos. Our home was left clean and Shannon followed up after our return.”


“Louise has been absolutely exceptional with Amani. She is caring, reliable, patient, and truly goes above and beyond. Amani is always happy, playful, and comfortable around her, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. I really appreciate the attention, care, and energy she puts into every visit. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats Amani like her own. I highly recommend Louise to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and amazing to care for their pet.”

“Lucinda and Frankie (my cat) seriously bonded. I don’t think Frankie even missed me. She is happy and relaxed. I could definitely tell that Lucinda is one of us - a cat person.”

“Ganna was so wonderful with our new puppy! She sent photos and updates and took such good care of our dog. We have a puppy and were anxious to leave her for the first time, and Ganna made us feel at ease. She’s the best!”

“Dannielle is a prodigy/wonder (or an S-tier, for you Gen-Zers). She has a level of care/commitment to her task that is genuine, and she absolutely invests herself in making sure the cats in her care are safe both physically and even emotionally. There's a real desire to care for them. My two cats are neurotic (shocker, I guess that's all cats, maybe?) who don't take to new people too well, and get reaaaalllly off kilter when I'm gone for an extended period. She gained their trust quickly, and towards the end of her stretch, they were all just hanging out like three cool cats.”


“Susan was so kind and concerned for my elder kitty while I was gone. She paid attention to the subtle changes and noted them for me, which I very much appreciated.”

“I am a fearful pet parent for my little reactive street dog and Damon put us at ease with the time he took for a meet and greet, then booking a day boarding, then an overnight with him before we go away for a week leaving our little guy in his care. I was very hesitant because he has a larger group of dogs, but he is so organized in how he introduces and works with them that our dog came back tired but vey happy. He is super competent, kind and unbelievably NEAT and clean. I couldn't believe he took time to send videos and pictures. this is obviously his superpower. I feel confident in his judgment and his ability to handle anything that comes along calmly.”


About: Dogs have been a part of my life for more than 15 years, and caring for them is something I’ve always felt naturally connected to. I’ve raised my own dogs, supported pups with all kinds of personalities and needs, and spent several years as a dog foster — giving dogs a safe, loving place to land while they waited for their forever homes. That experience taught me how to read canine behavior, build trust quickly, and create a calm, structured environment where dogs feel secure. Whether it’s a high‑energy dog who loves adventure or a shy pup who needs patience and reassurance, I’m comfortable meeting them exactly where they are. My home is set up with ramps and steps to help small dogs and mobility‑challenged pups move around safely and comfortably along with a stroller for long neighborhood walks. My goal as a sitter is simple: keep your dog happy, safe, and relaxed while you’re away, and give you complete peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I work from home. Mid-day walks at lunch time everyday unless weather is hot, then early morning walks. Weekends usually allow for longer walks and the occasional hiking adventure. I like taking my pups to the Jenkins Estate. It is heavily wooded and not usually busy. Making it easy to walk with multiple dogs. I have a fenced in backyard that can be segmented into two if needed. A doggy door for medium sized pups for quick and easy access. If your pup is not familiar with one, I will work on some simple training to encourage and get them use to using one. Plenty of doggy toys for aggressive/heavy chewers. Nylabones, kongs, rubber toys and rope. Sorry, no fluffy/squeaky toys, my oldest can destroy the toughest in under 6 minutes. Home is air conditioned. Floors are waterproof vinyl plank flooring, and all couches and beds are covered with waterproof blankets incase of any accidents or simply messy dogs. My oldest pup likes to take dirt baths much to my chagrin. There is a small kiddie pool available for those hot days. Two crates are available for any pups that may need it. And plenty of baby gates to segment/separate as needed. My house has been puppy proofed once before, and can be if requested. And additional third-party insurance to cover any emergencies.

“Sarah was a great sitter for my dog Rosie. Rosie was so excited to come back every morning for daycare, and Rosie and Ellie were fast friends. We will definitely book with Sarah again in the future!”

“Alison is dependable, reliable and a great communicator. She takes great care of my Bernese mountain dog, who loves going to her place for day care. Thanks so mich”

“I can’t say enough great things about Melani! She treats my dog like her own—he absolutely adores her, and I feel completely at ease knowing he’s in her care. Melani is truly his second mom. She’s reliable, incredibly accommodating, and very communicative, which makes scheduling so easy. I trust her so much that I use her multiple days every week while I’m at work. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your dog as much as you do, Melani is the one!”

“My dogs had an amazing time with Michael and Cindy! They got lots of exercise and love and snuggles. I felt completely at ease knowing they were being taken care of while I was away. The dogs even got baths and massages, and came home all fresh and clean. :) So, so, so happy with my experience.”


“Vanessa is awesome! She is a wealth of knowledge and has lots of experience! Our puppy has had lots of good exposure to new things at her house so he is a more well rounded dog.”

“Tommy was great with Lennox! It didn't take long for the two to like each other :) I had a great experience with scheduling, availability, and updates throughout the day. You can tell that Tommy has lots of experience with all kinds of dogs and can quickly adjust to whatever your dog needs. He took Lennox on his walks what our little Aussie enjoyed a lot. We will be back for sure :)”

“Renae is the absolute best! She’s kind and flexible and a dog lover but also knowledgeable and intentional about how the pups interact. I know Beans is safe AND having a blast whenever he’s there!”

“Julie took wonderful care of my active Aussie. My pooch came home tired, and we all know that a tired dog is a good dog. I will use Julie again...the next visit already booked.”

“Emily did a great job watching our 9 month old lab, Bruno, for the day while we had out of town guests. She is so calm, friendly and professional, I knew he would be in good hands. There was one other playful dog staying with her and Bruno had a great time, while Emily's 11 year old Lab, Lola, sweetly watched over the proceedings. Bruno came home tired and happy, and we got to enjoy a day out with visiting friends. I would highly recommend Emily, she is great!”

“Chelsea has been awesome with my pups, and they love playing with her dogs as well. Their stay has been great. They’re tuckered out and happy every day I’ve picked them up after daycare 💞”

“It’s clear that Christopher and his family genuinely love dogs! He is easygoing, an excellent communicator, and incredibly accommodating. Mason felt comfortable right away and absolutely loves going to doggy daycare at Christopher’s. We have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in such caring hands.”

About: I've taken care of dogs all my life since childhood. I have provided them with love and care medical care and one on one time during walks, traveling to different dog parks, and beach trips! Dogs provide me with emotional support and assists me with outside activities to keep me going. Every few hours I am caring for dogs and they're helping me. We are a team. I want to extend my love and care to your pet while you are away. Being their friend while they're being my friend. I'm currently a remote worker from home. So they will have access to me at my home 24/7. Our daily current schedule is as follows. 5am wake up 530 potty time 9am breakfast and walk 2pm long walk 5-6pm Dinner 8pm+ Quiet time with our blankets and dog TV time I have a secured apartment and we always make sure the dogs are leashes first before opening the door to go outside. I am conveniently located next door to a local bike path where we walk and run.
“We needed someone to do a long daycare for our very active and high energy doggy Maya and found a great sitter with Mersel! Mersel was great to work with, responded quickly and we were very impressed with her place for both the backyard and all the spaces in the house for the dogs to play and rest. Mersel also kept us updated regularly and sent us lots of pictures and videos as the day progressed. We will definitely be booking with Mersel again in the future!”

“Catherine was great with our pup! We were traveling from out of state and needed someone to hang out with our puppy while we attended a soccer game in Portland. Great communication, provided pictures while she was watching our pup, and did great with our high energy dog! Would highly recommend and would use again if we are in Portland again!”


“The perfect experience for an old dog with some extra medical needs! Peter was responsive, flexible and so caring with my boy! During pick up, it was clear how much Guinness enjoyed his time as he came out to say hello to me and then promptly turned around to try and go back into Peter’s house which is pretty much the best sign you can get! So happy to have a great option for daycare and boarding!”

About: Reliable, available and caring. Mother of special needs adult. Own a 6 year old Golden Retriever. Lots of love to give your special family member. I have a very open schedule day or night, except on Monday night. I Would be happy to discuss any special needs owner might have. Trust me to follow all instructions when caring for your pet in your home. I Will respect your space. Free cuddles given all the time
“Ann, Banjo enjoyed your visit today. He was happy when I got home but otherwise calm and content. Thank you for taking extra time to assure all doors were secure.”

About: Having grown up on a 20 acre farm for most of my life, I have cared for all shapes and sizes of animals - from horses to snakes, and everything in between! When I moved into an apartment for college, I missed the "dog energy" in our household and set to volunteering hundreds of hours at the Humane Society, which also included basic training skills and walking the most aggressive 100+lb leash pullers. This later evolved into working at a veterinary clinic where I was trained to monitor recovering animals and administer medications safely and with as little stress as possible through Fear Free certification. Animal body language is my second language! I love the outdoors as much as the indoors, and am more than happy to accommodate medical needs. ♡ If you would like extras taken care of during your pets stay or our visit, such as bathing, grooming, nail trims, or a run, just let me know! My dog, Leo, and I are constantly going on hikes and we are more than happy to tucker your pups out with a day trip, just reach out for rates. I currently work as a Braille Librarian for the state and used to teach Low Vision/Blind learners, and I am also fluent in American Sign Language (ASL), so I have a soft spot for dogs that may be Deaf, Blind, or DeafBlind. To top it all off, I am working on weaseling my way into Guide Dog puppy raising, and all the training tips that come along with that. ( : I commute to Salem Wednesday and Friday, which means my schedule during those days is usually pretty limited to anything after 430pm. Otherwise, my weekends are typically completely free and ready to be filled with whatever your fur babies need! Using the Fear Free method, I work with a pet's body language to determine what will work best in the current situation, and when methods may be effective versus stressful. I am ready to go at your pet's pace with whatever they may need, and clearly communicate the process along the way.

“Teia was great. Cocoa looked very happy in the photos Teia sent. Cocoa got a nice long walk. Teia was great with communication too. And flexible with her schedule. Thank you Teia!”

“Stacey was awesome and our pup had an amazing time walking with her. I loved all the pics she sent and she gave thorough notes about each walk. We will definitely use Stacey again!”

About: If your bestie is a cat, dog, rabbit, or chicken, I am excited to get to know them! I have experience with kittens, puppies, elderly cats and geriatric dogs. I've trained a foster puppy so she could be the best version of herself for her forever home, and I'm working on earning my credentials through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers. Pet care is important not only for the pet but for my own health. My dog, Toby, helps me remember to eat, exercise, and play. Toby is 4 years old and I am grateful for his company every day. I cherish him and I know you cherish your creature, too! I am excited to care for your pet in your home. It's the most comfortable thing for the animal to stay in their own, familiar environment, so I will adhere to the routine they're most accustomed to. I am very happy to feed, exercise, groom, bathe, cuddle, and entertain them.
“Heyley has been great. She very clearly loves dogs and has experience working with them - our dog Teddy warmed up to her right away. Teddy comes home from his walks tired and happy and we're grateful! Highly recommend - thanks Hayley!”

“Bethany is the nices human I have met so far amd very patient with my dogs . I highly recommend her to anybody she is great amd has a lot of knowledge about pets best wishes on your career ahead of you , thank you so much for helping out I will reach out to you soon .”

“Elizabeth took her time introducing herself to my dog who was a little nervous at first but she won her over in minutes and off they happily went on their walk. My pup came back happy and sufficiently tuckered out. :) Elizabeth gave lots of details about how the walk went and did great with dog handling. I’ll definitely call on her again!”

“I had a very positive experience with having Yana walk my two dogs. It has been a pleasure working with her. She truly seems like an empathetic animal lover. She walked my two large dogs over the weekend and I was impressed with how their walks with her noticeably improved their demeanor.”
“Lucinda filled in for 3 days as a dog walker for my furry-faced chihuahua daughter. She showed patience and kindness to a somewhat skittish pup. I felt confident that she would provide the care my pup needed while I worked long days in medicine. I would not hesitate to hire her again or to recommend her.”

About: Animals have always been at the center of our lives. Together, we share our home with two senior dogs, both 12 years old, and caring for them has given us firsthand experience through every stage of a pet’s life. From the boundless energy of puppies to the special attention senior pets need, we understand how routines, patience, and care make all the difference. Over the years, we became the go-to pet sitters for friends and family, trusted to look after pets of all kinds. From kittens to cats, small dogs to large breeds with big personalities. More recently, we’ve expanded that circle, building a business rooted in reliability, trust, and a genuine love for animals. What sets us apart is the thoughtful, consistent care we bring as a team. We take time to understand your pet’s unique needs and personality so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were our own. Pet care fits naturally into our daily lives, and with both of us involved, we’re able to offer flexible coverage. Together, we can reliably accommodate walks, drop-ins, or extended visits without rushing or cutting corners. Our goal is to make sure your pet’s routine stays consistent, whether that means a quick midday check-in, evening walks, or longer stretches of care. By working as a team, we’re able to give your pet more attention and you more peace of mind. When we’re in your home, our priority is creating a calm, safe environment for your pet. We follow your instructions closely, from feeding routines to favorite walking routes, because pets thrive on familiarity. You can expect reliable updates and communication from us so you always know how your pet is doing. Above all, we treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect we would want for our own.
About: I grew up in rural midwest with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs since I was 9. I was a dedicated and loving dog mama to my beloved bernese mountain dog, Riker, for 9.5 years and I miss him very much. I enjoyed taking my boy to thousand acres, Mt. Tabor, and several other dog parks and we've gone on many hikes on the coast, in the gorge, and in Mt. Hood forest. I have special connections with my friends' animals and I've enjoyed taking their dogs for walks since my boy passed last March. I'm a fourth-year doctoral graduate student at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) meaning my schedule can be pretty flexible. I have two full days of clinic per week and fill the rest of the week with writing and research. When I'm not in clinic I can work with my schedule to take your fur baby on walks, check in on them to let them out, or schedule an adventure! I can also come house sit or invite your pet over for the day or extended stay. I have a fenced in backyard with ample space for throwing the ball or lounging in the sun on a picnic blanket. We also live very close to a park for on leash walks or park hangs. Our fur baby passed in March 2026 but our one-level house is still set up to be accessible with rugs on the wood flooring for traction, plenty of blankets and comfy spots to sleep, and easy access to the back yard (just two steps). We allow animals on furniture but respect your rules if that's a boundary of yours!

About: I’ve had a love for animals my whole life, I’ve had cats and dogs since I was born and currently have 5 pets at home! (2 dogs 3 cats) I have been house sitting my pets for a few years while my parents go out of town, and have also helped a few family friends with their pets. I have dealt with untrained dogs, high maintenance dogs, seniors, puppies, and urinary issues. I’m currently working part-time from 5-9pm. Before then, I will have all day to tend to your pets and let them out for some exercise and potty breaks. When I do run errands, I am never gone for more than 3 hours at a time. For dog walking, I am able to walk however far your dog needs to ensure they get the right amount of exercise. For sitting, I will make sure your pet gets let out for potty breaks and the proper amount of care during the day, whether it is a walk or a small training exercise. For drop in visits, I will tend to whatever your pet needs during that visit.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies who need lots of playtime to senior pets who require a gentler touch. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, administering basic medications, and giving plenty of love and attention. Friends and family often rely on me to look after their pets and homes because they know I’m dependable, patient, and truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique quirks. My goal is always to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy—just as if you were there. with them. I am a stay-at-home mom who cares for my son's medical needs and is a learning coach to my son, who does online schooling. I have babysat/done sleepovers with Huskies, German Shepherds, pit bulls, tiny dogs, and tabby cats. Due to being a stay-at-home mom, my son, who is 9 years old, would always be coming with me. We do online schooling so we can travel anywhere to make sure your dog has a safe, calming environment while you are out of town. I have a 3 year old Austrailan Cattle Service Dog in training. He is extremely friendly with dogs and cats. We are blessed to have adopted him into our lives.
“Odalis was wonderful! She’s super communicative and responsive and took great care of Kit. He came back happy as can be. I totally recommend and will definitely board with her again. Thank you!!”

“Ron will be our go-to guy as long as he is willing to take our dog! Our dog is always so anxious before and after we leave. He was excited to run into Ron’s home and has been so relaxed ever since we picked him up.”

“Bella loved it there. She was so happy playing with the dog and the kids. I was worried at first cause she has so much energy and can be a bit overwhelming, but she fit in perfect and was treated as if she was part of the family. I will definitely be calling her again. Thank you so much!”

“Aria is so sweet and takes the absolute best care of my senior blind yorkie. She always send updates and the cutest photos. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again in the future! :)”
“It was a great experience working with Dylan. I appreciated that my dog and I were able to meet and take a walk with him, and see his place before booking the trip; and also his flexibility when the dates changed just before my trip. His pictures of Luna and his notes were great to receive and I left town feeling comfortable that Luna would be in good hands. I will reach out again when in need.”

“Saawan and Kangna were the best!! Our corgi is a lot to handle sometimes, being a high energy breed, with his barking, and corgi habits. And they did such a great job with him. He came home happy and tired. We loved the regular updates they sent and were so happy to see pictures always popping up while we were on our trip. We loved their communications and flexibility when we had a 5 minute delay picking up. We will sure be adding Saawan and Kangna to the top of our list for sitters.”

“Kimo was great with Kovu! He was super communicative, provided daily updates and always checked in with me if he had specific questions to ensure Kovu was taken care of. Excited to have Kovu stay with him again!”

“Christopher is an exceptional doggie care provider. He took excellent care of our pup Finn that suffers from severe anxiety (other dogs). Finn stayed for a week and was completely relaxed and bonded to Christopher when we picked him up. He took Finn on some long hikes and provided beautiful pictures of Finn having a swell time ❤️ . This gave us great peace of mind 😌 We will definitely book with Christopher again!”


“Alysia was great! She sent me pictures each day of my dogs and their activities. It allowed me to relax and know that they were well taken care of while I was out of town. Thanks, Alysia!”


“Jake has been a God send for me and my dog Wilson. Wilson loses his mind when we get a couple blocks away from Jake's house - he's so excited he doesn't even look back at me as he goes inside. Jake's dog Zoe is also the sweetest. She's been a great companion for my dog when he stays with her. Jake sends me the cutest photos of the two of them playing and snuggling. I always trust my beloved pup is in great hands!”

“Great communication throughout the stay! We appreciated the pictures and videos through the day to give us the confidence our dogs were receiving the best care. We can’t wait to book with Mersal again! In fact, our dog Laika has been missing her new friends since she’s back home!”

“Katie took great care of our pup, provided regular updates, and was graciously flexible about pickup and drop-off as our travel plans shifted. Very much appreciated her help while we were out of town!”

“Melani was great taking care of CalCal my goldendoodle. We met up beforehand to make sure my dog would get along with her dog. She sent many photos during the boarding. Would use her again; thanks Melani!”

“Alison was very friendly and willing to take my crazy energetic pup. She sent me videos of them playing and it gave me a piece of mind having my pup with her. Highly recommend!”

“Thank you Hayley and Graham for taking care of Hank this past weekend. The daily updates and photos made it even easier knowing Hank was in great hands. Hope to use you both again soon.”


“Ingrid and her family did a wonderful job watching our Rozie at a last minute’s notice. Rozie seemed very happy and comfortable and we would not hesitate to leave her with Ingrid again in the future. Thanks again”
