“Rebecca was amazing. She was flexible when we were running late for the drop off. She was very communicative. The facility was very clean. She also provided us with pictures of our happy dog hanging out. This went a long way toward leaving our dog with someone new.”
“Yet another great stay with Gary and Carol. Waldo can barely contain his joy and excitement when we drive up to their place and goes full steam ahead to their front door. They’re the best!”

“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.”
“This is our second time using Emily and Eric. They always go above and beyond to make our pup comfortable and send lots of pictures and keep us updated. They are incredibly friendly and we always know that our pup will be well taken care of when we drop him off. Highly recommend!”
“This was my first time using rover and I was a bit nervous leaving my dogs with someone that I didn’t know but Bobby and Linda made me feel very confident in their ability’s to take care of our dogs. They gave great updates with pictures and notes on what they did that day. I will recommend them to others and use them again in the future.”
“Colleen is a very caring dog sitter. She would send us updates twice a day and even sent our Bella back home with some treats. We will definitely use her help in the future.”
“Carolyn is an amazing sitter and takes such great care of our dog. We have used her before and will absolutely continue to reach out to her when we need a sitter in the future. She sends lots of pictures and videos, and always seems to make sure our dog is getting plenty of attention and love. Thank you, Carolyn!! Tato already misses you!”
“Leah and Chris were amazing! It was so obvious our boys were having a blast with them and that they loved them as their own. We got daily updates with amazing photos of the dogs and saw they were being regularly walked and paid attention to. 100% will book with them again.”
“Hanlan was absolutely wonderful!! This was my first time needing a sitter, and I couldn’t have been happier. My two babies had such a fun time. Hanlan was extremely flexible, and was great at communicating. Definitely will be using her again when the next time comes.”
“This was our second time booking with Lisa, once again she provided outstanding care for my dog Zuko. This stay eas especially important because he was recovering from his neuter surgery. She followed all of his post-op care instructions, kept me updated with pictures and messages, and made sure he was comfortable. It's such a relief to have someone I can trust with Zuko, especially during a time when he needed extra care. We will definitely be seeing Lisa again in the future!”
“Kris was very communicative- providing regular photos and updates during the boarding. This was the best experience we have had boarding our pets. Definitely recommend!”
“We can't say enough great things about Jared! He watched our girl Posie and we felt so relieved to leave her with such a capable sitter who attended to her needs so well and communicated clearly and quickly with us! He was super flexible with pick up and drop off times to accommodate our traveling schedule. Will certainly be booking again!”
“Great experience from start to finish. Communication was clear from the beginning and updates and photos were provided regularly. Looney was well looked after during his stay.”

“Paul and Arnel were the best hosts! They were excellent communicators, sent us tons of pics of our boy, and did so many fun things with him. It really felt like they made him part of their family. I would highly recommend them to any pup parent.”
“Chloe had a wonderful time at Steve's during our weekend trip away! It was really helpful to have a meet-and-greet with Steve before booking the first time. Steve made me feel comfortable knowing Chloe would be well taken care of during our trip. I loved all the photos of Chloe having a good time - it gave us peace of mind while we were away. It's easy to tell Steve truly cares about the pets in his care, which is so reassuring when you're leaving your furbaby with someone new. We will book Steve again for our next trip!”

“Aaron did an absolutely fantastic job of taking care of our two senior cats! He was kind, prompt, attentive, and responsive. Unfortunately, one of our cats had an issue, but Aaron went above and beyond in attending to our cat’s needs as well as cleaning up after our cat. We highly recommend Aaron for taking care of your pets!”
“Mickey did a great job watching our pets! Our situation is definitely a unique one with 8 cats, but they were all well taken care of and happy while my roommate and I were away, and we definitely felt a lot better about leaving them knowing that they were in such good hands.”
About: I routinely pet sit for family and friends! I genuinely enjoy it. The hardest part is always having to say goodbye. This is one of the reasons I'm always asked to come back. I grew up on a farm caring for all the same animals Old MacDonald had. One of the advantages of gig work is the ability to set your own hours. Determine the times during the day when you're available for pet-sitting tasks, such as dog walks, feeding, and playtime. I prioritize the well-being of your beloved pets, offering them not just routine care but genuine attention, ensuring they feel loved and secure.

Additionally, I am committed to taking care of the environment in which your pets thrive, ensuring a safe and clean space. Your pets are not just my clients; they are family, and their happiness and comfort are my top priorities.
“Cali has been an amazing sitter for our dogs! She communicates well with all details needed and shows up for visits on time. I always get pictures and messages about how the visit went. Cali is reliable and wonderful to work with. We will continue to book with her as our first choice whenever we can!”
“Micah was an excellent catsitter for our three cats! We were worried about leaving them alone while going on a trip, so we gave Micah a long list of routine and care instructions which he took with understanding and respect for their wellness. One cat needed insulin shots and another needed ear drops. Micah took care of them, played with them, and even sent pictures and updates to help alleviate our worries. We'll definitely want to hire Micah again for our next trip.”
“Lilieana was so kind and gracious in the booking process. She also lives nearby so made everything pretty easy. The pups looked pleased on the pictures and are happy that we are home . Frankie sniffed around for a little while wondering if she was going to come back. Definitely a great sitter pick.”

I hope, I ll be good friend for your pets. I have part time remote work, so I am pretty flexible to do some activities with your pet on holidays, weekends and work days ! I prefer to pet sit in your house or get them for a hike or walk. My yard is not fenced so I can’t have guys at my place .
About: When had two cats when I was 8 and I was in charge of feeding and grooming them. Then we got two kittens when I was 12 years old so I have experience with kittens as well and currently have one cat.
“Brooklyn did a great job taking care of my kitty when I had to go out of town on short notice. She was wonderful to work with, her attention to detail and communication skills are top notch. My shy cat quickly warmed up to her after a few visits. This shows that Brooklyn is great with animals, as my pet is very selective about who she trusts. I look forward to booking with Brooklyn again and I would highly recommend her to others looking for a pet sitter.”
“Hello, Thanks again for taking care of our four-legged family! They were not only alive, but seemed way less stressed than on previous trips to the vet for overnight stays. If you're available, we will certainly look to book you again. Aside- The door was locked, but we didn't see the top lock key on the keychain. Please let us know if you left it separately or need to drop it off. Thanks and take care!”
“Beth was an absolutely perfect. She took care of my Bengal Cat and sent multiple videos and photos of her playing and feeding my kitty. She keeps an open form of communication with the owner...which really puts your mind at ease. I would absolutely use her again!”
About: Hi there! My name is Chloe! Im new to this app, but not new to sitting! I grew up in cow-town Wisconsin and went to film school at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I have so many passions in different directions and post college, decided to explore those different paths. I have worked in a variety of environments, and positions since the age of 14. I used to be a nanny and loved that experience! Over the past year, I converted a van to live out of, and now I am looking for the next place to start my new chapter. I’m also interested in getting involved with short term rental hosting and interior design/staging. House sitting and pet sitting would give me the freedom to explore new locations and meet new buddies! In my free time, I enjoy traveling, game nights, exploring consciousness and if there's an instrument around, I will absolutely pick it up and teach myself. Overall, I like meeting new people and building connections! I’m currently working part time and remotely, so I will have plenty of flexibility to give your pet all the love and attention they deserve. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little fur-baby happy! I enjoy exploration, and taking advantage of the outdoors.
About: Hi, I’m Kaitlynn – your pet’s new best friend! I’ve grown up with animals and currently care for two of my own, so I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you can trust. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs extra playtime, a shy rescue that needs patience, or a senior pet with special care needs — I meet them where they’re at, with love and consistency. I just moved to Oregon from Nevada and am currently settling in and building a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time and availability to focus on pet care. I’m not tied to a full-time job right now, so your pets will get lots of attention, walks, cuddles, and updates throughout the day. Whether you need someone reliable for daily drop-ins, long walks, or overnight care, I’m here and fully present for your pets. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your animals with someone — and I don’t take that lightly. Your pets — and your home — treated with care and respect. When I’m caring for your pets in your home, I understand I’m being trusted with something deeply personal. I approach every visit with respect, cleanliness, and attention to detail. I follow your instructions closely, keep doors locked, double-check gates, and make sure your pets stick to their routine so they feel safe and secure.
About: I have years of experience caring for cats with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I’ve rescued and cared for cats off the streets in Colombia, which taught me how to build trust with shy or nervous cats and provide calm, patient care. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, refreshing water, cleaning and maintaining litter boxes thoroughly, giving affection (on their terms!), and making sure cats feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I understand that cats are sensitive to changes in their environment, so I always move at their pace and respect their boundaries. Whether your cat is playful, independent, or more timid, I focus on creating a calm, clean, and comforting environment so they feel secure and cared for.
About: I've had many pets since I was a young child. My grandparents had a farm so I've had experience with all sorts of animals. My dream is to have an animal sanctuary some day. I believe it's important to provide care to an animal in their home to limit stress and disruption to their normal routine. I have 3 dogs at home. Many of my home cleaning clients have animals so I'm exposed to all types of pets on a daily basis. Walking dogs provides exercise not only to the dog but for me as well. Providing care and a routine that the animal is used to is important to me. Communication with the pet parent is key to a successful experience with any animal.

“Rebecca responded quickly to all of our questions and was patient. We had never put our dog Izzie in a kennel before. The photos of their facilities gave a good sense of what the dogs were provided with inside and outside, and photos of Izzie Rebecca sent to us on the days Rebecca was caring for Izzie were fun and reassuring. Lastly, their roaming farm animals were a delight. We will kennel our dog with Rebecca whenever we are in this part of the Columbia Gorge.”
“It is best that when we need a sitter when coming into town that we contact them again. Our boys have sever separation anxiety, but see to do well. Thank you again?”

“I could not ask for a better home away from home for Trixie than Danielle's!!! She is my absolute trusted go-to, and Trixie's second family. I really appreciate that she is flexible when possible about drop off and pick ups, and is so good with updates. 10/10 for her genuine care, her giant yard, and being just so reliable and awesome.”
“Charlene has been hands-down, the BEST dog sitter we’ve ever had. The amount of love, care, fun, and exercise she gave our dog, Ginkgo, was truly exceptional. I’m someone who loves pictures and updates, and Charlene provided beautiful pictures and updates without prompting during Ginkgo’s 4 day stay. He got to go on runs, long hikes, and even got a pup cup with her daughter. He came home each day absolutely exhausted, which was amazing for my husband after working long days. We are so grateful we found Charlene!”
“Shasta and her family are very loving and caring, we truly trust her completely. Our dog Gus gets so excited about having a stay it make leaving him a boy easier knowing he just runs right into the house out of excitement!”
“Sherri and Jeff are wonderful sitters! Great communication and they send lots of updates and pictures. My dog can be anxious and they are so sweet and patient with him.

“My puppy loved his time with Anastasia--he was visibly excited every morning when I dropped him off, Anastasia sent photos and videos of him and his new pals having fun throughout the day, and he was thoroughly exhausted when I picked him up at the end of the day.”
About: Animals have always been part of my life — from horses to fish, and most importantly, dogs. For the past 2+ years I’ve been a foster with the Portland Dachshund Rescue, caring for everything from energetic puppies to seniors with medical needs. Through local dachshund meetups and rescue work, I’ve become known as a trusted safe space for small dogs in the Portland community. What sets me apart is the blend of heart and hands-on skills: • Experience with senior dogs, medical care, and even injections when needed. • Specialized understanding of dachshunds and other small breeds. • A home set up with secure fencing and stairs for tiny dogs’ safety. • The flexibility of working from home most days, with the option to bring pups to the office on others. I treat every guest like my own — with patience, love, and individualized care. Most days I work from home, so your pup will get plenty of company and attention throughout the day. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays I go into the office, but I can often bring a guest dog with me if needed, so they won’t be left alone. Because I only host up to two small dogs at a time (20 lbs and under), I can keep routines flexible — from regular potty breaks and short walks to cuddle breaks on the couch. My schedule is designed to give your pup a safe, consistent rhythm while you’re away. Whether your pup is staying at my townhome or I’m caring for them in yours, safety is always the top priority. My home is rescue-approved with secure fencing, pet stairs, and even an outdoor ramp in progress for tiny legs. Guests are always supervised, indoors and out. If I’m in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I understand the trust it takes to hand over your keys, and I’m happy to follow any security routines or send photos so you feel comfortable. My goal is simple: peace of mind for you, and a safe, happy experience for your pet.
“Tracy and her family did a wonderful of taking care of Ollie. He was very calm and not at all anxious when coming home and loved all the attention he was given. I will be leaving him with her on a regular basis.”
“Araceli was so great with Rocky… she kept me posted on how he was doing and sent me the cutest video and pic of my lil guy… it is so great to be able to be at work and not have to worry about how Rocky is doing. I would highly recommend Araceli for watching your furry baby. Araceli thank you for putting my worries at ease…”
“Emily & Eric took great care of our pups while we were visiting from out of town for a family Christmas party. We appreciate them being so accommodating with the festivities ending a little later than expected. Our fur babies were obviously very comfortable in their home because they are so calm in their crates in the car at the moment. We will definitely leave our girls with Emily and Eric again when we are back in Vancouver!”

“Callae walked both my dogs early morning for a week while I was out of town. One is a puppy with lots of energy. She handled both dogs professionally and they seemed very happy!”
About: With lifelong experience caring for both dogs and cats, I’m comfortable handling everything from daily routines and training to senior pet support. I’ve watched many pets for families I work with, including dogs who need structured schedules, anxiety-sensitive care, or oral medications. As a nursing major at Clark College, I bring strong attention to detail, reliability, and compassionate care to every animal I watch. I’m confident adapting to each pet’s unique needs and making sure they feel completely comfortable while you’re away! Every morning I wake up and feed my dog and go outside with him, and during the day we go on a hour walk if he hasn't been outside. I do live on property so most of the time me or my family is outside and he plays outside with us. I've always had a love for animals and I think getting exercise is really important so I love to go on walks and play with my animals!
About: I routinely pet sit for family and friends! I genuinely enjoy it. The hardest part is always having to say goodbye. This is one of the reasons I'm always asked to come back. I grew up on a farm caring for all the same animals Old MacDonald had. One of the advantages of gig work is the ability to set your own hours.

About: I grew up with animals my whole life. Ive been called the animal whisperer by all my friends. The guy the antisocial cat chooses to sit in the lap of at the party, the person the my partners dog leaves them for, the guy who tames the horse that wont let anyone bridal. I have had at least 2 pet companions most of my childhood and into my current adult life. Both cats and dogs from kitten to elderly. Sometimes living in houses where my pets cohabitated with others pets, I become the one to feed/walk/train because I love interacting with them and their personalities. I take pride in knowing that I read signaling and body language well and can intuit needs and practice patience. I currently live with 2 cats and a dog which I do the majority of the pet care for. Cleaning up, feeding, and training the dog (shes still young - 2). So I wake up early and feed everyone. Take the dog to the park for an hour to play fetch. Rinse and repeat in the evening. I also have been pet sitting for friends over the past few months which has led me to wanting to work with more furry companions. In others homes I would always make sure to get background on pattern/rituals that exists for the clients pets and try to keep those up. Structure is important to animals and if they expect to get fed/walked/groomed at a specific time I totally respect that. Got a fav ball you want me to throw? Can do. A favorite tree on a walk that needs to be visited at least once a day? Show me where...
“Just popping in to rave about Lileana’s Rover services! From the moment she arrived, my big girl Francis was her top priority. They teamed up to tackle the delightful challenge of walking a large breed who adores humans but has some strong feelings about other dogs on a leash! Lileana expertly read Francis’s body language and navigated every stroll with flair! Absolutely top-notch—I'll definitely be booking her again!”
About: I stand out because I’m patient, reliable, and truly dedicated to helping pets feel safe and understood. I have experience with all ages, from energetic puppies who need guidance and structure to senior pets who require extra gentleness and attention. I also cared for a family’s diabetic cat for a full week, giving daily insulin shots and monitoring their behavior to make sure they stayed comfortable and healthy. I treat every pet like my own, and I’m always focused on creating a calm, loving environment tailored to their needs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I currently work part-time at a restaurant from 2pm–7:30pm a few days a week, and I’m a part-time online college student. This gives me plenty of flexibility, especially in the mornings and evenings. I use this open time to focus fully on walks, drop-ins, feedings, playtime, and any special pet needs. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I’m happy to structure my day around making sure pets feel safe, loved, and well taken care of. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities. In a client’s home, I follow their routines exactly so pets feel secure—whether that’s feeding times, walking routes, or specific care instructions. I always double-check doors, gates, and leashes, and I keep a close eye on behavior or any changes in health. I give updates, photos, and messages so owners know their pets are happy and safe. My goal is to create a calm, dependable environment where each pet feels understood, respected, and cared for just like they would by their own family.

“Tessa was on time and walked Diego for the full 30 minutes and sometimes a bit longer. He's can be a super slow walker so we appreciate her patience. Thank you Tessa for helping us with Diego's walks!”
About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember, the first dog I got was when I was 5 and I would walk her and play with her and teach her tricks. We currently have 3 dogs at my dads with a cat and 2 dogs at my moms house. I love spending time with animals and having fun with them I am currently in college playing softball and am home for the summer so I am free and looking to spend some time with animals and make some extra money! I can provide whatever care a client wants/do what they normally do for their animals and follow whatever a schedule an owner has setup for their animal.

About: While growing up I have always had a dog in the home. I’m a huge dog lover and don’t know what I would do if I did not have a dog in my life. I remember when my parents let me chose our next dog when I was young. I chose a sheltie and named him Arrow. The reason for the name Arrow was when I went to pick him up I noticed in his fur on the back of his head was an arrow. I loved taking care of Arrow and we had a special bond! I loved taking him on walks and he loved chasing me around the house. When I turned 15 I started to take care of one of my neighbors cats and fish when they went on vacations. After completing one summer, I started taking care of their cats and fish for the next eight years before I moved out. Once the rest of my neighbors found out I was known in the neighborhood for taking care of my neighbors dogs and cats when they were on vacations! I have also taken care of many of my coworkers cats and dogs as well. So rest assured your pet will be in good hands while you are on vacation. It will be one less stress to worry about. I currently work full time, however work three 12 hours shifts. I’m currently off Friday-Monday. So I’m available for the weekends, so perfect for anyone wanting to do a weekend getaway! I do work graveyard so I’m available anytime after 2pm on Fridays. However, if you need to drop of earlier just communicate so I can plan ahead. My girlfriend and I live in a townhouse. I don’t have a fenced backyard. However, have a small backyard that is used for potty breaks. It does have a small area of grass turf (fake grass). The good news we live in Fairview in the Fairview Terrace community. We have a very large area for dogs. So your dog will have lots of playtime in the grassy area. Also, the neighborhood is perfect for walking your dog as well. The community is fenced and a gated community as well. Our community is very dog friendly and many pet owners. We also have a micro mini Golden doodle. So your dog will have a playmate as well. We can also send photos of your pet to you while on vacation to help with the separation. I know when I go on vacation I have a hard time leaving my fur baby behind. For me, getting photos of my fur baby made the vacation a little easier!
About: I have had dogs my entire life! I love to play with them and walk them. If I was allowed I’d have at least two right now! I am an active person so there is not need to worry about your pets being stuck inside. I love to hike and go for runs. In my college town I would dog walk neighborhood dogs and take them running up hiking trails. I’m a clean person and make sure to leave no messes behind. I’ll even take care of any mess that your pet has left in the time you are gone. I work a full-time job from home so now worries about scheduling. I’m pretty open unless it’s a day where I’m out at clients. I hope you consider me!
About: I've had many pets since I was a young child. My grandparents had a farm so I've had experience with all sorts of animals. My dream is to have an animal sanctuary some day. I believe it's important to provide care to an animal in their home to limit stress and disruption to their normal routine. I have 3 dogs at home. Many of my home cleaning clients have animals so I'm exposed to all types of pets on a daily basis. Walking dogs provides exercise not only to the dog but for me as well. Providing care and a routine that the animal is used to is important to me. Communication with the pet parent is key to a successful experience with any animal.
About: I’ve worked in Veterinary medicine for 16+ years which includes Kennel/Veterinary Assistant in a general practice ,Emergency Veterinary Medicine for almost 6 years now. I moved from Maine in the summer of 2024. I’ve had on and off experience over many years of pet sitting mostly for my veterinary co workers pets in their homes (multiple cats, multiple dogs and sometimes a combination of both). I would enjoy having positive experiences with your pets on their normal day. I work Full time in the Veterinary field but I am open to my days off spending time doing walks or drop in visits possibly daycare - Working in emergency veterinary medicine for many years your pets safety is a priority and I can recognize potential emergencies before anything critical happens.
About: I've had the privilege of caring for dogs for over a decade. I have experience administering medication, walking, cleaning and playing with puppies and middle age dogs. I am a full time artist with quite an open and flexible schedule. I am available during the day during the week and flexible during weekends. I love playing and spending time with my own cat, catering to her needs and spending time together. I have no issue crating other's dogs if asked.
“Theo had walked my dogs before, so I was SO happy to see they were back on Rover! They’re so accommodating with my schedule, and my dogs adore them. I also appreciated how prompt they were in responding. I look forward to using their services again in the future!”
About: I have a crazy Blue Heeler that I trained and take care of! I used to foster kittens with my friends, and it was my favorite thing. I’d love to take care of your animals too! I have lots of dog-sitting experience from my neighbors throughout the years. Looking forward to expand my experience by taking care of your lovely pets! I currently work as a barista, and am always in search of a side hustle. This is a perfect way to spend my extra time! As long as I know what to do and what not to do, I’ll make sure your pet is having fun and staying safe at all times in your home.

“Rebecca was amazing. She was flexible when we were running late for the drop off. She was very communicative. The facility was very clean. She also provided us with pictures of our happy dog hanging out. This went a long way toward leaving our dog with someone new.”
“Yet another great stay with Gary and Carol. Waldo can barely contain his joy and excitement when we drive up to their place and goes full steam ahead to their front door. They’re the best!”
“Kristopher and his partner are so nice and were very good to my dog! You can tell that they genuinely care about each pet they watch and will 100% rebook them in the future.”
“Araceli is amazing. She was available at last minute for my babies and she always does an exceptional job. They love going to her house. She also has another husky which I know my dogs love. I would highly suggest her anytime. She is definitely my go-to”
“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.”
“This was my first time using rover and I was a bit nervous leaving my dogs with someone that I didn’t know but Bobby and Linda made me feel very confident in their ability’s to take care of our dogs. They gave great updates with pictures and notes on what they did that day. I will recommend them to others and use them again in the future.”
“Colleen is a very caring dog sitter. She would send us updates twice a day and even sent our Bella back home with some treats. We will definitely use her help in the future.”
“Leah and Chris were amazing! It was so obvious our boys were having a blast with them and that they loved them as their own. We got daily updates with amazing photos of the dogs and saw they were being regularly walked and paid attention to. 100% will book with them again.”
“This was our second time booking with Lisa, once again she provided outstanding care for my dog Zuko. This stay eas especially important because he was recovering from his neuter surgery. She followed all of his post-op care instructions, kept me updated with pictures and messages, and made sure he was comfortable. It's such a relief to have someone I can trust with Zuko, especially during a time when he needed extra care. We will definitely be seeing Lisa again in the future!”
“Kris was very communicative- providing regular photos and updates during the boarding. This was the best experience we have had boarding our pets. Definitely recommend!”
“Great experience from start to finish. Communication was clear from the beginning and updates and photos were provided regularly. Looney was well looked after during his stay.”
“Chloe had a wonderful time at Steve's during our weekend trip away! It was really helpful to have a meet-and-greet with Steve before booking the first time. Steve made me feel comfortable knowing Chloe would be well taken care of during our trip. I loved all the photos of Chloe having a good time - it gave us peace of mind while we were away. It's easy to tell Steve truly cares about the pets in his care, which is so reassuring when you're leaving your furbaby with someone new. We will book Steve again for our next trip!”
“Dave is amazing! His calm and loving demeanor really helped our anxious Dorkie settle down right away. After our trip, Harley came back home a happy pup. It gave us such peace of mind to know that our little guy was being well loved and taken care of while we were away. We will definitely be using Dave to watch Harley in the future❤️”
“A great experience for our dog Nado. Jenny was very kind and welcoming. We rescued our dog over a year ago and he had been traumatized, we were nervous how he’d handle being apart. Jenny and her family made him feel more than welcome and he behaved very well and had a great time! Definitely recommend.”
“The people in this home made Mabel feel welcomed and loved. How do I know? All of the pictures and updates Christine sent me! I was able to work out of town without worrying about my girl, Mabes. My work can be stressful, and not having to worry about Mabel means so much to me. I will definitely want Mabel to go back to Christine's home!”
“Our pup came home so happy and definitely worn out! She went on a little vacation with Sarah!!! Sarah provided planet of updates, pictures, and check ins. Mitzi is a puppy and in the height of her rebellious teenage stage, so not the easiest pet to watch. We felt so safe and comfortable leaving our girl with her and will definitely be using her again!”
“Yuting was great. She communicated daily and sent video and pics throughout our time away. Dave was exercised daily and had plenty of play time with her pups as well! Thanks, Yuting!”
“Angie did a wonderful job with our playful pup, Tillie. We received great updates daily and Tillie seemed right at home while we were away. Angie took her for some adventures and hikes and she also got lots of snuggles too. Angie provided a great vacation for Tillie while we were away, and we love that. Thanks, Angie!”
