“Liz was great with our dog while we were away and had great communication with us to put us at ease. She really took the time to assure us after we explained some of our dog's needs. She kept us updated and has lots of experience. We're very happy with her services and Pippin had a great time with her personal dogs and other boarders. Definitely recommend and rest assured she will look after your pet as well as she did ours. Thank you!”


“Susie and her family were so good to Kona. He became part of their family. I got daily pictures and updates. I am so happy to find Susie and will be returning when I need a sitter again for Kona!”

“I am so thankful to have found J, and can’t say enough great things! She sent me a bunch of adorable photo updates of my pup having a fabulous time out in the big yard, or cuddling inside with her newfound best friend Gus. Jean obviously really loves dogs, has a big home with space for large dogs, and is a wonderful sitter! We will definitely be visiting again!!!”

“My dogs absolutely love to come see Bonnie and play with her dogs. My Joey has to take medincines and she is great with that. I get lots of pictures while we are away too!! Highly recommend!!”

“Kris was great with my two pups! He provided updates during the stay and was comfortable with my dog’s medication at mealtime. I was glad there was a fenced in yard in addition to walks and dog parks in the neighborhood for exercise and socializing.”
“Barbara was wonderful! My dog took to her right away which made leaving her for 4 days less stressful! Everything went smoothly and when I picked her up she was happy and well taken care of! Thank you Barbara!”

“Nancy was absolutely amazing! This was our first time leaving our girl with anyone so we were very nervous on how it would go! Nancy was so reassuring that Paisley would do well. She sent us pictures to keep us updated on how she was doing. Paisley came home one happy girl! We are so thankful to have found Nancy and highly recommend her!! We will definitely use her in the future!”

“Kelsi was EXCELLENT. She very responsive with communication and loved her pictures and updates. Leaving a young pup with her felt like a lot to take on but she seemed very willing and capable! Sounds like they had a wonderful time together. I will definitely use Kelsi again in the future!”

“Sue was incredible! Our pup, Cass, was so sad that our luggage was out and was obviously feeling very anxious, but as soon as she met Sue and got to see her incredible yard, all her fears were eased! Sue sent us the cutest updates and we never worried about how Cass was. We will definitely have Sue watch our pup again in the future!”

“Juliann did such a wonderful job of taking care of our beloved dog. She took the time to introduce herself and her lovely family and we got a chance to have Yoda do a meet and greet. Their house was very warm and inviting and they really took to him. They were very thorough with all of their questions and made sure that they were equipped to take good care of him. During the trip they gave us constant updates and photos and we felt very safe that he was in good hands. when we went to go pick him up, he did not seem that enthusiastic to leave, which was both sad but also a great sign of how much fun he was having there. We absolutely would work with them again and recommend them to anyone looking to have their dogs be in safe and loving hands.”

“Jessica took such great care of PB while we were away! I can tell she kept him busy and active by how sleepy he’s been since coming home. He’s one happy guy, and it’s clear he had a great time with her!”

“Angela was great to work with. We were able to do a meet and greet prior to the stay to make sure all the dogs got along well. Our puppy had a blast and was well taken care of. Would definitely book with Angela again!”

“We are so sad to leave Nadine! Axel loves her and her crew and cannot recommend her enough to folks! Your animals will be loved on and taken care of. We will miss you so much!”

“Jennifer & Eric and the boys were great company for Oliver. He came home tired and that's a good sign. We appreciated the option for sitter-pick up and thank you for taking good care of our boy.”

“Chris and Angela were great! I needed a last minute booking and they were available. So happy they were! They absolutely loved on our new kitten, playing with her, snuggling her and giving her more attention than she might have even gotten at home 😆 they also sent regular pictures and updates while we were away. Would 100% recommend and use them again.”

“Hanlan went above and beyond what I expecting! We left our pug with her for 5 days and she was always sending cute pictures from his day. She took him on long walks, and the dog park multiple days. We really felt Bubz was left in amazing care, and would choose her again next time we go out of town!”

“I could not have asked for a better family to watch my dog! Samantha and Brian were so kind and accommodating with my older dog! My dog had some issues initially acclimating to the new environment and they went above and beyond to make him feel at home. To the extent that Brian slept in the living room with him, where my dog felt most comfortable. Their children and their pup were wonderful with him as well! The family even accommodated me picking my dog up a night early since our holiday plans changed. This family really was a blessing when we needed to leave our dog for the holidays! Thank you again!!”

“What an amazing individual and her little doggie, Zoe. Marybeth is super casual, interested, caring, and flexible. She understands pets and their importance. I loved her tree-lined neighborhood and the HUGE fenced backyard available for my little pupper to play. I've decided Marybeth's the one to trust with my little pup, Mia.”


“I cannot say enough positive things about Alyssa! I give her 11/10 stars. She was so absolutely wonderful with my pup, kind and responsive and caring. This is the best Rover experience I've had thus far by miles. I will definitely be rebooking in the future 💜🐶”

“Highly recommend Kat! She took care of our two cats expertly for 6 days. One of our cats takes an inhaler for asthma as well as oral medication, and Kat was able to provide that without any issues which is so important to us. She spent quality time with them and kept us informed of anything that came up throughout our trip. She is very trustworthy and has a very nice and caring personality. Thanks, Kat!”


“Kimberly was great! Communicative, responsible and kind. I felt totally at peace when we were away and the kitties were calm and everything was in order when we got home. Will use her again.”

“Lindsey did a great job taking care of our two pups during the daily visits. Lindsey even offers to stay longer than requested to keep the pups company!”


“Your pets and home are in great hands with Mackenzie! As a first time client, we appreciated the meet and greet visit, where Mackenzie asked questions and ran through the cats routine, our preferences and expectations, and took thorough notes. Our babies LOVED her and we had such peace of mind knowing they were in her care while we were away. Per our request, Mackenzie provided daily updates and pictures of the happy kitties. We hope to have her again!”


“Arian is such a great cat lover and caretaker!! I felt completely at ease leaving her my keys for drop ins to my place, and from the looks of the photos and videos my cats will honestly miss her once I’m home! Fantastic experience.”

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs. I have a fenced back yard and love getting outside to take dogs on a walk and/or potty break. I stay very active, so I can accommodate all types of dogs ranging from high energy, to older dogs who love relaxing on a cozy blanket on the couch. I have one small dog that loves to play with other dogs. As a teenager and young adult I watched professionals train dogs and I cared for them as well. Like most of us, I went through puppy preschool with the the first dog I owned too. I can accommodate small and medium sized dogs. They will need to be potty trained. I would love to put your mind at ease and give your dog a safe, happy, and loving experience! Please let me know if you have any questions. I work from home full time. This allows me the flexibility to give your dog lots of potty breaks, walks, love, and attention! Please let me know what your dog’s schedule is like at home and I will accommodate that for you. I have a fenced backyard. Dogs are allowed on the furniture, so they can feel right at home. My goal is to make them as comfortable as possible during their stay.
About: I absolutely love dogs. I have 20 years of experience taking care of dogs and animals. We've always had a dog in the house. I recently bought my first home and have an Australian shepherd, Hazel, and Catahoula, Sunny, that I absolutely adore! I have Hazel involved in obedience and agility. I love to go on hikes with my dogs, to the dog park on the sandy river, or even a walk to the school park down the street to play some fetch. My parents live on a farm in Boring and I frequently visit there to let my dog run around and play. I love dogs so much, so I thought, why not be a dog sitter doing what I absolutely LOVE doing? I know a lot about training dogs and have taken a few courses to increase my knowledge. I will be able to help with teaching basic commands and socialization skills for your dog(s).

“Sydney was great during an overnight stay with our cat! She was attentive and I could tell she was really looking out for his needs. When he became a bit antisocial and cried during the night, Sydney didn’t hesitate to reach out and see if there was anything else she could do to make him feel comfortable. Her energy definitely aligned with our cat’s and he got along with her great. Thanks Sydney!”


“Colin was phenomenal at taking care of our pup! He left detailed notes that gave us great updates and peace of mind that our dog was well cared for. Colin took our dog out for a walk, even when not necessary, to give her extra attention and stimulation. We came back to one happy dog and safe home!”

“I was nervous about finding a new pet sitter after ours retired. We have 4 cats, who can be a handful, and have weird feeding issues. I shouldn't have been nervous because Megan did great! We will be confidentially using her again :)”

“Our 5mo pup had her first ever doggy Daycare experience at Hannah's and LOVED it! She's normally very attached to us but when we picked her up she whined and tried to drag us back towards the house! She clearly had the best time!”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kelsi! From day one, it was clear how genuinely caring, patient, and attentive she is with my puppy Lucy. She treats her like her own, making sure she’s safe, happy, well-exercised, and loved. I always receive great updates and photos, which gives me total peace of mind knowing Lucy is in such good hands. Her reliability, communication, and obvious love for dogs truly sets her apart. I am so grateful to have found someone I trust completely and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their dog—especially puppies!”

“Laura was prompt in her initial response and so friendly, helpful and communicative in taking care of our two small dogs in her home while we were in Portland for a family wedding. We had a full day of events and were able to relax and enjoy ourselves, knowing they were in such good hands. We highly recommend Laura for pet care and would definitely contact her for future appointments. Jennifer & Matt”

“Remi had the best first day of doggie daycare with Cassie. She came home exhausted and from all the pictures/updates I can tell she had a blast! With it being her first time at daycare, Cassie was great about slowly introducing her and making adjustments based on how Remi was doing. Cassie was professional and quick to respond to messages during setup and during the day. We look forward to booking another daycare day again soon!”


“Susie was wonderful. We chatted for a bit when dropping Dexter off. He spent the day hanging out, watching TV, and being loved. We will be sending Dexter to Susie’s again for Thanksgiving.”

“Kris was amazing he goes above and beyond to make your fur babies feel comfortable..My babies were exhausted by the time I picked them up he also introduced other animals to them and Im so grateful..I recently adopted my two out of a shelter and he made them feel right at home and even gave me tips on things. Kris thank you so much youre a lifesaver! We shall return”

About: I’ve been rescuing animals for over 22 years-I’ve cared for big, slobbery Rottweilers to tiny, judgmental cats, fish who pretend not to notice me, and guinea pigs that somehow eat like linebackers. I’ve handled rabbits with attitude, a special needs Yorkie who runs the house, and our Texas rescue Lucy—who I’m pretty sure thinks she rescued me. I have a designated bedroom with a ring camera just for my furry friends! We can keep the pets isolated in their own space the entire time, or they can have free roaming of the house. Options for those pets who need less sensory and more quiet and privacy. I work full-time at a hospital Monday through Friday, so my availability for more hands-on, all-day care is best on weekends. During the week, I’m still happy to offer overnight stays, I just like to mention that-because on weekdays, there may be up to an eight-hour stretch without potty breaks while I’m at work. I live in a fantastic walking neighborhood and can happily meet you in yours or bring them to mine. Can never get too much exercise in! Plus, my big fully fenced in yard is at their disposal.
“Our boy can be pretty anxious but Angela and her babies Henry and Dingus were so good to our pup. We were in town on vacation and just needed a day to run some errands so we’re so thankful she was able to make space in her house so last minute. Would absolutely recommend and we will definitely be a repeat customer if we’re back in town!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover, having cats growing up and later volunteering with dogs at rescue orgs. My time as a training class assistant for Puppy Manners and New Dog Basics at the San Francisco SPCA gave me valuable skills in positive reinforcement training, socialization, and handling dogs of all temperaments. Beyond dogs and cats, I also have experience with horses, having owned and leased several. I’m comfortable with feeding, turnout, mucking stalls, brushing, and general equine care, making me a well-rounded caregiver for multi-pet households. What sets me apart is my ability to care for pets at all life stages—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior pets needing extra patience and comfort. Whether it’s structured walks, reinforcing good manners, or providing a calm and loving presence, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. With a deep understanding of pet behavior across species and a passion for ensuring their happiness and well-being, I go beyond basic care to provide engaging, enriching, and compassionate pet companionship. After our Husky mix’s TPLO surgery in Fall 2024, I’ve decided to make pet care my main focus. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and this shift allows me to dedicate my time and energy to providing top-quality care for pets in my community. With a flexible schedule, I’m available for daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and customized care based on each pet’s needs. Whether it’s a midday walk, feeding and playtime, or extra TLC for pets recovering from surgery, I tailor my services to fit both routine and special care requirements. My experience with dogs, cats, and even horses means I’m comfortable handling a variety of schedules—from structured training sessions to free-spirited outdoor adventures. No matter the time of day, I ensure pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or my clients’ homes. At my home, we have a fully fenced yard, providing a secure and spacious area for dogs to play and explore. Your pup will also have built-in companionship with our two friendly dogs, ensuring plenty of socialization and fun. For exercise and enrichment, we have scenic trails nearby, perfect for peaceful walks in the woods—giving dogs a chance to sniff, explore, and enjoy the great outdoors. In my clients’ homes, I respect each pet’s unique routine and environment, providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. Whether it’s reinforcing training, maintaining feeding schedules, or ensuring a calm presence while you're away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. No matter the setting, I focus on creating a safe, stress-free, and enriching experience for pets—so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands.

“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.”


“With lots of young children attending, our relatives hosting the Christmas Day gathering asked that no guests bring their pets. Rather than leave our little guy by himself for that many hours, we turned to Rover - and Julie came to our rescue! We had done a meet-and-greet previously, so I felt that Django and Aspen would spend most of their time playing and chasing each other, and by all reports that's what they did. I must thank Julie again for taking care of my pup, and on Christmas to boot! I would not hesitate to recommend Julie as a dog-sitter.”

“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 :)”

“Buzz has been going to Steven’s for daycare and he is having THE BEST time. Steven and family have been taking care of Buzz as if he is one of their own. Great walks, fun adventures and a companion to spend the day with - what could be better! Thank you Steven and family for taking such great care of Buzz!”

“My Havanese Cooper had a great first day with Marisela and her family! She is super responsive and sent updates during the day. He was super happy when we picked him up. We are looking forward to him staying with her again soon. :)”

About: I have a dog loving family, and my pride and joy is my sweet, friendly, and very playful Golden Retriever who is a huge part of my life. I have loved raising and training her, and I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your dog. I intentionally keep my daycare small so every pup gets plenty of individual attention, affection, playtime, and room to relax. My goal is to give your dog a fun, comfortable day in a home where they can play, explore, snooze, and get lots of love. My home is never empty! I work from home, and my teenage son is home most days too, so your pup will always have someone around for company, attention, playtime, and potty breaks. Dogs in my care are never left unattended, and I love having them hang out with me and be part of my day. I have a clean, spacious home with plenty of room to play and relax, along with a large fenced yard for outdoor time and potty breaks. I keep the number of dogs I care for small so I can give each pup plenty of individual attention and keep a close eye on everyone. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, house rules, feeding schedule, and any special instructions you have.

“So far so good and Adrian LOVES my dog which is the best thing I could hope for:) we haven't met in person but my mom said Adrian is really great with Juno and loves her tons.”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. For the past couple of years, I’ve also been dog sitting for family friends, which has given me experience with different dogs, personalities, and routines. I’m also a CNA, so being patient, responsible, and attentive to the little things comes naturally to me. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! 🐾 I work as an on-call CNA and am currently in an online BSN program I have lots of flexibility and can work around other peoples schedules! Since I’ll be caring for pets in their own homes, I want to make sure they feel comfortable and keep their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and anything else your pet needs. I’ll give them plenty of attention, cuddles, and playtime while also respecting their space. I’ll also keep your home clean and tidy, make sure everything is left the way I found it, and send you plenty of pictures and updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for!
About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. My whole family is big on dogs and I am prepared for any situation…Healthy dogs to dogs with medical care needed. We have had dogs from as small as tea cup Yorkies to big English Mastiffs. Dogs have always been an important part of my life. I am home from college and looking for a summer job. My schedule is flexible and can be available week days and weekends. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! I am comfortable taking your dog for a walk and letting them play in parks. As well as playing in the yard and giving them lots of time to run around. Making sure they are fed, hydrated and rested all the time is also very important.
About: I have been around animals (cats, dogs, horses, and even the spare parrot!) for the majority of my life and have loved every second of it. As such, I am deeply attuned to the behaviors of our furry friends and am patient with the care I provide. I am passionate about caring for animals and showing them the love they deserve while maintaining the expectations of those I am pet sitting for. I have pet sat for friends and family frequently and am always thanked for my attention to detail and genuine care for their animals. I'm one to always go above and beyond in my work and never back down from a challenge, so please reach out with the unique needs of your furry friend! I am a graduate student studying clinical mental health counseling, so I have a large amount of availability at this time. I hope to work consistently with pet parents, but am flexible to provide sporadic care and attention as well. As of right now, there are few times that are off the table, so reach out with your pet care needs! When I visit your space I will always respect boundaries and communicate fully about what is expected of me. I welcome feedback and frequent communication from pet parents, and hope that I can become a trusted person in you and your pet's life! At this time, I do not have the availability to provide care in my own home, as I have two fur babies of my own who get stressed easily. If a care relationship is established, I would be willing to have a conversation about this if there is an extended amount of time where care is required (vacations, or otherwise).
“Alyssa did a fantastic job with my needy puppy! I highly recommend her and I would absolutely book her again. She sent photos and messages to update me and even called once when my puppy wasn’t feeling well.”


About: Ive been taking care of all kinds of animals for a long time! I mostly help with dogs and ive had a few cats sitting jobs. I have had cats and dogs my whole life so I'm very used to both and adore them! You can rest assured your pet will be cared for, their well-being is my priority 💕 It truly depends on what your needs are and im willing to work with most schedules. I'm a year round college student with a flexible schedule I have one big dog and he loves to wonder our farm. I also have sweet cat who is an inside cat. I believe in consistency in walks and feedings
About: My name is Haley and I am originally from Portland Oregon. I live in Oregon City, work from home, and have a fenced back yard. I grew up with a chow/black lab/border collie mix named Sam who was my constant companion and the reason I adore dogs. In my early twenties I fostered dogs and learned how different their needs can be. So, what am I here for? To give your dog care and attention while you are on a weekend trip, work trip, or traveling for the 5th wedding you have been to this year. I can also provide consistent walks or check-ins. Want your dog to get in shape? I’ll take them for a run. Want them to be more social? I’ll take them to the park. Need them to burn off energy? I’m happy to throw the ball, so when you get home they’re ready for a nap. Have an older dog who just needs to stretch their legs? I’ll take them around the block a couple times with breaks and belly rubs. I frequently walked my neighbor’s mastiff mix, so no worries if your pup is more like a horse, I got it covered. I have two friendly dogs of my own. If you’re boarding, extra points for having a young puppy who likes to play. Peaches may be an old lady but she loooves to play with little ones and she is very gentle and patient. Also, I am detail oriented. If your dog needs medication, ear drops, or bandage changes - I can do that. If they have triggers or training methods you are using please let me know! I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I have two dogs who are dog friendly. I have a fenced back yard and a park nearby that’s great for taking dogs for a longer walk. The way to provide the best pet care is to listen to pet owners and take their advice and requests seriously. I try to always understand the reason and details. For example when someone says - don't give him too much water. I ask - how much is too much, will he drink it all at once and pee in the house, will he drink it too fast and throw up, does he only drink too much after exercise or eating etc. the details are what keeps pets safe.

About: I have been walking dogs and pet sitting since i was 12. I would be happy to take your pets on hikes, to the dog park, or just a quick walk if that’s what’s needed. All animals have their own personalities and i wanna get to know both you and your pets. My main goal is to try and keep things as close to their natural routines as possible so they are happy and comfortable! I have 2 pets of my own a 8 y/o black lab, red bone coonhound mix and a 1 y/o orange tabby cat! I know that they really on me and I always try to put their needs first. I will always try and keep your home as it was left if not better! If I am house sitting i am happy to do some additional light cleaning if needed.
“My husband and I work long days during the week which leaves our pouch, Dunkel, on his own for most of the day. Knowing Angela is exercising Dunkel and showing him some attention and love gives us peace of mind. It really is the best solution. Angela is great with our dog - fun, attentive and caring. Dunkel looks forward to his walks and the chance to play with his new neighborhood pup-buddies. We get a report, complete with photos and a brief description, after each walk. Angela has been fantastic and we would highly recommend her. ”
About: I have experience working at a pet hospital that specialized in the care of cats and dogs. I’ve had the opportunity to care for pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I’m also experienced in caring for pets with a variety of medical conditions and specific needs, including dietary restrictions and medication administration. In addition to my veterinary experience, I have about 3 years of pet-sitting experience, caring for cats and dogs for my friends and family. My experience includes walking, feeding, bathing when needed, and providing plenty of love and attention. My goal is to make sure every pet in my care feels safe, comfortable and happy while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and give them all the love and care they deserve! 🐾 I am available primarily on weekends, as I work full-time during the week. I’m available on Saturdays and Sundays from 8 AM to 8 PM. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your pet's safety and their environment with the same care and respect I would give my own fur babies. I follow each pet parent’s instructions and routines closely, making sure pets are comfortable, supervised, and stay on their regular schedule as much as possible. I’m respectful of your home and keep things clean and tidy while I’m there. I can also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: What sets me apart is my background in both veterinary medicine and animal behavior. I have over 4 years of hands-on experience working in veterinary settings with pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs, including anxious, senior, and high-energy animals. As a Zoology student at Oregon State University, I’m especially passionate about understanding animal behavior and making sure pets feel comfortable, enriched, and safe while in my care. I also have experience handling medications, monitoring health and behavior changes, and providing patient, individualized care for every pet. I am also very active and am always looking for a running partner who would like some good exercise and fun! I’m currently a part-time student and work part-time at the Boys & Girls Club of Corvallis, but I have a lot of weekend availability and flexibility throughout the week. I’m available for dog walks, pet sitting, drop-in check-ins, and general pet care, and I’m happy to work with each family’s schedule and routine! I love staying active and creating a good balance between playtime, exercise, and cuddle time. My current house doesn’t allow animals, but I have reliable transportation and would be happy to take your pet on walks, hikes, or to explore new parks if that’s something they enjoy. I’m active enough to keep up with high-energy dogs or cats, while also being patient and calm with pets who prefer a slower pace and plenty of downtime.
About: I have compassion and am understanding for animals that is hard to put in to words. I carry empathy towards all living things. I have had several dogs of my own and know how much it means to have someone you can rely on to care for them when you’re away. I am currently at home full time and don’t have plans on that changing anytime soon. I am able to work around your schedule and as needed. I have a few appointments a week but they are only one hour at a time. The rest of my time is free. I tend to take my two dogs to the park every day to play ball or run around (depending on weather sometimes). I would love to bring yours along as well. My dogs are very friendly and know how to give your pets their own space when needed. Please keep in mind that if you need a house/pet sitter, my two dogs would have to come with me as I am single and don’t have anyone to care for them. They are great with other dogs and cats. Fully potty chained. No chewing. Keeping safe distance from other animals, always leashed, never left at home alone, reassurance to help them feel safe in the new environment, treats, nap.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the last 4 years. I’d love to spoil your pup! I have an extra crate if needed and plenty of toys from my dogs they can use. I work from home full time so I am available almost every day of the week. I am free to take them out too as needed. I have a large yard for them to potty in and a front yard for play time. I have one dog at home that loves to play and is so friendly. I love having animals in my home & id love to watch yours!

“Liz was great with our dog while we were away and had great communication with us to put us at ease. She really took the time to assure us after we explained some of our dog's needs. She kept us updated and has lots of experience. We're very happy with her services and Pippin had a great time with her personal dogs and other boarders. Definitely recommend and rest assured she will look after your pet as well as she did ours. Thank you!”


“I am so thankful to have found J, and can’t say enough great things! She sent me a bunch of adorable photo updates of my pup having a fabulous time out in the big yard, or cuddling inside with her newfound best friend Gus. Jean obviously really loves dogs, has a big home with space for large dogs, and is a wonderful sitter! We will definitely be visiting again!!!”

“My dogs absolutely love to come see Bonnie and play with her dogs. My Joey has to take medincines and she is great with that. I get lots of pictures while we are away too!! Highly recommend!!”

“Kris was great with my two pups! He provided updates during the stay and was comfortable with my dog’s medication at mealtime. I was glad there was a fenced in yard in addition to walks and dog parks in the neighborhood for exercise and socializing.”
“Angela, (with dog Henry, and cat Dingus) created a Fantastic Christmas for Freddie with an absolute last minute booking after our other potential boarder was not a good fit. Great photos and video.”

“Finley loved spending time with Heather, her husband, and their furry bunch! He had so much fun making new friends and they took very good care of him for the few night we were gone. Heather sent pictures of the pups playing and was very communicative the whole time! We will definitely be using them again!”


“We love Mariia!! We honestly could not have dreamt of a better sitter for our fur babies! Mariia is simply the best and one of the most genuinely kind people I have ever met. She kept us updated with many photos and is obviously very experienced. We will definitely be booking with Mariia in the future. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU MARIIA!!!”


“Ron provides the highest quality dog care possible! Our pup got an exquisite stay with Ron and Emma including playtime with other dogs, a trip to the dog park, a warm place to sleep and lots of treats. After Ron's five star service, we will never use a kennel again. We highly recommend Ron's Rover Service for all dogs and their owner's.”
“Jessica took such great care of PB while we were away! I can tell she kept him busy and active by how sleepy he’s been since coming home. He’s one happy guy, and it’s clear he had a great time with her!”

“Butter’s stay at Gary and Carol’s was her first away from home. We were thankful for the updates and Gary and Carol are super responsive, which was so comforting for Butter’s first boarding experience. Thank you!”

“Jennifer & Eric and the boys were great company for Oliver. He came home tired and that's a good sign. We appreciated the option for sitter-pick up and thank you for taking good care of our boy.”

“Brian and Jennifer were truly amazing with our dog. We had never used a site like this and were apprehensive about it but found ourselves in a pinch. We really lucked out finding this family. They were excellent with communication and I felt comfortable the whole time we were gone. They took such great care of our furry fella. We will definitely reach out to them again when we head out of town.”

“Diana did a great job of caring for my dog while I was on a long trip! She was happy when I returned, and I could tell she had been well-cared-for. She sent me plenty of picture updates of the adventures they went on while I was away.”

“The last thing a pet parent wants is to worry about their beloved furry baby while traveling. Hayleigh provided just the right amount of love and care to Dash. I’m so grateful for sitters who truly love dogs and understand dog behaviors. Dash is by no means a problematic dog but he experienced some anxiety with another sitter that I had no choice but to switch sitters mid booking. Hayleigh was a comfort and even arranged to pick him up at previous sitter. I have no doubt she knows what she’s doing. Thank you!”

“What an amazing individual and her little doggie, Zoe. Marybeth is super casual, interested, caring, and flexible. She understands pets and their importance. I loved her tree-lined neighborhood and the HUGE fenced backyard available for my little pupper to play. I've decided Marybeth's the one to trust with my little pup, Mia.”

“Veronica was great! Our dog Perla is 1 year old and very active and playful. She was kept busy with Veronicas two dogs for 12 days, which Perla seem to enjoy very much. Veronica is very knowledgeable about dogs and very patient. She kept us informed with pictures and videos. We will definitely use Veronica again.”
