“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.”
“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.”
“Excellent dog boarding experience! She was very responsive, kept me updated with photos throughout my dog’s stay, and was incredibly kind and caring. It gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend her and will use her services again!”
“Cassandra and Trevor were absolutely amazing with my daughter’s dog, Leo, while she was hospitalized. He required a great deal of personal care because he does not have the use of his back legs and is missing one eye due to previous abuse. Cassandra and Trevor sent daily photos, videos, and updates, and spent a great deal of time hand-feeding him and carrying him to where he needed to go. When we picked him up, Leo was one. alert, clean, and happy little dog. Thank you so much, Cassandra and Trevor!”
“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.”

“Araceli is so kind and amazing! Our dog came home tuckered out and I know she had the best time. She also was sure to send us multiple updates during her stay and she’s super responsive. I completely felt at ease leaving our dog in her care and will be a repeat customer going forward. Thank you, Araceli! :)”
“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!”
“Our family is so grateful to Megan for taking such good care of Lumi! We had peace of mind knowing that she was well taken care off while we were on a trip. Megan shared many videos and photos. She also took Lumi to the dog park! We highly recommend Megan.”
“Jared took wonderful care of our 12-year-old dog, Ace, during a four-night stay. From the beginning, he was friendly, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease leaving our senior pup in his care. Ace came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that Jared genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. We really appreciated the peace of mind knowing Ace was in such good hands. We will definitely book with Jared again and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter.”
“Christine was awesome in caring for our two elderly dogs at her home!! From the moment we connected by phone, I sensed her warm, caring spirit toward animals. She sent regular updates and photos while we were away. I offer Christine the highest level of recommendation and we definitely plan on utilizing her again in the future.”
“absolutely amazing and careful with my very anxious german shepherd. my dog struggles with no people and environments due to some issues in her past and i’ve never been able to find a place where she feels safe but she has been able to stay with shasta happily. i appreciate her and her family so so much for all they do!! highly recommend!!”

“Jennifer was great with our Hercules! We felt very at ease that our guy was being taken care of while we were away. Thanks again & will definitely rebook!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the amazing care our senior pup, Daisy, received! From the very beginning, Julie was communicative, professional, and is clearly a dog lover. We got regular updates and photos that made us feel at ease while we were away. It was clear Daisy was relaxed and spoiled during her stay. We came home to a happy, calm pup & we would 100% rebook again. Thank you Julie :)”

About: I have seven years of experience pet-sitting and housesitting. I have taken care of a variety of cats of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I grew up on a farm in Oregon, and I will always make sure that your cat’s needs are met and that they feel loved!
About: I've had cats since I was a kid, so I have experience with them as kittens and in old age, administering medication, injections, putting medicine in their food, feeding them, giving them water and treats, trimming their nails, and bringing them to the vet. I also have about 10 years of experience with other people's cats as a house-sitter and checking in on them.
“Lilieana went above and beyond taking care of my girl while I was away. I haven’t been away this long from my cat before, but Lilieana made sure she gave Plum all the love and care she would’ve gotten as if it were me! She was very attentive and let me know if she noticed anything or had any questions. Would absolutely recommend. ⭐️”
“So greatful for Melissa's help taking care of my cat Luna. At the time of my trip, Luna was recovering from a wound that needed special care. Melissa was not only able to manage her care and monitor progress, but also somehow managed to get my extremely shy cat to warm up to her, despite all the meds and special care routine. When I got back Luna was in tip-top shape and a lot less mad at me for leaving than she usually is. Melissa will definitely be my first call next time I need to travel.”
“Laura was absolutely wonderful! She was caring, attentive, kind, understanding, and very flexible. I especially appreciated that she kept me updated and sent me pictures of my cat, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared and made sure everything was going well. I would absolutely recommend Laura and would be very happy to book with her again!”
“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!”
“We could not have been more pleased with Janelle’s care for our pets and home. She was very patient with chatterbox Edith and scaredy cat Rose. We will not hesitate to call her again the next time we travel. 5 stars are not enough!”
“Beyond kind to both me and my kitty! Always on time, very attentive, and sent great updates and photos! Took the time to interact and play with my cat and always responded quick! Highly recommend!”
“Hannah was reliable in her visits and communication. She took the time to give my cats attention and love while I was away and I returned to two healthy and happy kitties. Went above and beyond. Highly recommend!”
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.
“Rachael has been very kind and flexible when dropping in on my cat! I felt great knowing Smokey was being cared for and having fun during these visits. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Shyan treated my dogs with the best possible care!! From the meet and greets to the dog walks to the visits in my backyard, she is amazing. I work long shifts and need my babies to get some one on one and she does a great job. Her pictures and explanation of the visit are top notch. Thank you Shyan!!!”

“Our experience with Rebecca was excellent, and our pups experience, too! We were so happy to have updates and pictures throughout the day as it was our first time leaving him and we were a bit nervous. He was so well cared for while we were gone, came home happy and tired, and even got sent the rest of his chew stick home! We will definitely be back without hesitation.”

“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?”
“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!”
“Yuting was absolutely amazing and took very good care of my senior dog. Very reliable and I could count on her if I needed extra daycare sessions as well. Very good energy and trustworthy”
“Tracy and her family took great care of my big guy! Plenty of attention and play time in the backyard, and good communication throughout. No reservations about having her watch him again.”
About: I have two dogs ages 5 & 6, I trained both of them when they were puppies. Brewer and goose love other dogs but can also be kept separate if needed. I’ve taken care of family pets since I was young and enjoy playing with animals. I currently home full time with my two children. We pop out for go to classes in the evening but are usually home Monday -Friday. We live in 6 acres of fenced in yard. Lots of room to play and throw ball. We do have an older cat that keeps to herself. Would prefer a dog that doesn’t want to chase cats.
“Willow was great with my reactive, anxious dog. It’s challenging to find sitters knowledgeable and capable of dealing with his issues. We felt confident leaving our dog with her and I can tell he had a good time. Willow kept him busy with activities and gave us frequent updates. We will definitely use her services again when we need daycare.”
“María is the sweetest soul! she did such a wonderful job caring for my puppy Bones. he came back wagging his tail & ready to go to bed! she got all his energy out! Bones struggles with very very bad separation anxiety, & maría reassured me from the start that he was in good hands & would not be left alone. which has been a struggle in the past with previous sitters. Bones can also have some behaviors like jumping on people or the counter tops, & she did amazing setting that boundary with him not allowing him to hustle her & get away with being a menace! María kept me updated and sent me pictures quite often which i really appreciated! She made Bones & I feel comfortable & confident with our decision to go with her. she is so lovely & i would recommend her to anyone who may be worried leaving there pup w someone they don’t know! María is great!”
“From the beginning, very responsive and helpful! They were able to handle my high anxiety dog and didn’t get annoyed by the overly long explanation I had about his dogality. Followed up with pictures and updates and my dogs had a blast! Highly recommend Cass and Trevor for dog sitting.”
“We were lucky to find folks willing to take our dogs on shorter notice for a few hours. Our dogs seemed at ease in their home and were tuckered out when we picked them up. A good sign of having a fun time! Would use them again the next time we travel there”
“Took excellent care of my high energy puppy, provided lots of pictures and videos of him happily playing in the yard, prompt and communicative. Couldn't have asked for a better person to trust with my kiddo for the weekend”
“My dogs and I love Anastasia! One of my dogs has been going to Anastasia for months. My other dog is a nervous guy and likes his alone time, so we usually leave him at home. But we decided to take him on a trial run to spend a day with Anastasia, and he made a new best friend!”
“Julie and Barry are wonderful! If we lived closer I’d always use them to care for my dog, and I’d want to have them as my personal friends! Having traveled to Portland from San Diego to visit our toddler granddaughter, we were in a bind. Our mixed-breed dog is reactive to the toddler and to the two cats who also live in the house, and that makes for a stressful visit. I wanted to get a dog sitter, but I was worried about finding someone so far from home on short notice. Our dog has a lot of separation anxiety and is rather high-strung. I started a search on Google, and Julie and Barry popped up. Trust me, you should do what I did—look no further! I knew right away that I had found a gem! Julie and Barry have a beautiful, peaceful home. They were so kind to my dog that she jumped out of our car each morning when we dropped her off and ran up to their front door because she was so excited to see them again! In short, we didn’t have any worries at all about our dog during this visit. Julie and Barry only take care of one dog at a time, and they will give your dog individualized attention and lots of love! They do this out of their love for dogs, and I can’t imagine a more perfect situation. Thank you so much, Julie and Barry!”
“Makenzie was responsive, easy to work with, and kind to my dog. Her dog Mochi is a well behaved playmate and my pup came back happy and tired after getting long walks and lots of playtime in the yard.”
“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!”

“So sweet to ghost and super understanding of his puppy energy! Kept me updated throughout the whole experience and really made ghost’s day! Such a huge help!”
About: I’ve cared for a lot of animals, including pets with special needs and exotic animals, through my pet care business and across a variety of pet care apps. I don’t have any animal phobias, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of species. Schedule and availability: I’m available Monday through Sunday to care for your pets. I offer boarding, daycare, house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walks, and bathing and brushing services. Policies and requirements: I’m unable to care for pets that are aggressive, destructive, or pose a safety risk to people or other animals. I accept pets that aren’t spayed or neutered, though my rates will be double my standard rate for boarding or daycare. Female dogs who are expected to be in heat during their stay are charged triple my standard rate. All pets must be up to date on routine veterinary care care, including vaccinations and flea/tick prevention, to be eligible for any services. All pets must not be sick or showing signs of illness at the time of service to be eligible for any services. Multiple pets and pet profiles: Each pet must be individually listed on the booking request and have their own profile. Multiple pets may not be booked as a single pet. If all pets aren’t accurately listed, I reserve the right to modify the booking request to reflect the correct number of pets or refuse service. Pet pictures and updates: I typically send one update and picture of your pets per day. I generally don’t send messages after 7:00 PM Pacific Time. However, you’re welcome to message me after 7:00 PM, and I’ll get back to you when I’m available. Meet and greets: Meet and greets are optional but recommended for first-time clients. If you’re skipping the meet and greet, I require detailed care instructions for your pets. Your first meet and greet is free. If you want additional meet and greets, I require them to be booked as drop-in visits. Boarding and daycare: I board pets from multiple families at the same time. Pets from different families are kept separate and are never allowed to interact with each other. Dogs will receive one last potty break before bed around 9:00 PM Pacific Time before being crated overnight. Fresh water is always available throughout my home and in the crates. I use spacious, heavy-duty, 48-inch crates because your pets’ safety and comfort are my top priority. These crates are suitable for tiny dogs and XXL dogs alike. For owners interested in boarding their pets for more than three days, I require a 24-hour trial stay before I’ll consider accepting a longer boarding request. However, I don’t require a 24-hour trial stay for boardings that are three days or less. For daycare, I provide a safe, stress-free environment where your dogs can relax and have fun. Dogs will receive playtime, walks, and plenty of attention during their stay. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, energy level, and individual needs to ensure a positive daycare experience. For boarding and daycare services, I require owners to complete an online questionnaire that contains screening questions about their pets. This questionnaire helps me determine whether my home is a good fit for everyone involved. I also offer solo boarding and daycare. Solo care means that there will be no other animals in my home during your booking, allowing your pets to receive my full, undivided attention. I require a minimum of six month’s advance notice for solo care. Solo boarding starts at $300/night for the first pet, +$10/night for each additional dog, and +$5/night for each additional cat. Solo daycare starts at $200/night for the first dog and +$5/night for each additional dog. These services must be paid within two weeks of your initial inquiry in order to secure your requested dates. If payment is not received within that time, the dates will no longer be held and the reservation will be forfeited. All payments are non-refundable once received, even if you decide to cancel your reservation. Pet pick up and drop off: If you would like me to provide pick up and drop off services, you must provide secure, appropriately sized carriers for your pets. An additional $30 will be charged for pick ups that are 30-39 minutes late. An additional $40 will be charged for picks up that are 40-49 minutes late. An additional day of boarding/daycare will be charged for picks up that are 50+ minutes late. House sitting: When I’m house sitting, I’ll stay overnight and sleep in your home each night. I won’t invite other people over, and I won’t allow other animals into your home. If I leave your home, I’ll only be gone for a maximum of four hours at a time, unless an emergency or an unexpected delay prevents me from doing so. Watering plants is free for any plants on an automatic watering system, such as a sprinkler or irrigation system. For plants that require manual watering, watering is free for up to ten plants, with a charge of +$1 for every two additional plants if eleven or more plants require manual watering. I also offer 24-hour constant care for house sitting, starting at $600/night for the first pet, +$10/night for each additional dog, and +$5/night for each additional cat. With constant care, I remain in your home for the entire stay and won’t leave at any point unless there’s an emergency. My constant care rates apply to pets that can only be left alone for 3.9 hours or less at a time. Drop-in visits: A standard drop-in visit in 30 minutes, with the option to extend it to 60 minutes. I’ll provide your pets with personalized care based on the instructions you give me, and I’ll give them as much attention as they feel comfortable with. Dog walks: A standard dog walk is 30 minutes, with the option to extend it to 60 minutes. Your dogs will receive a safe and enjoyable walk tailored to their energy level. Whether they prefer a leisurely stroll or a brisk walk, I’ll make sure they get the amount of exercise that’s right for them. Bathing and brushing: Bathing and brushing is an optional service that can be added to your booking for an additional fee. All bathing and brushing services include a bath with dog shampoo, towel drying, and brushing. Prices vary based on several factors, including the dog’s weight, coat type, and coat condition.
About: I’ve taken care of parrots, parakeets, cats, kittens, puppies, dogs, bees, and fish. I used to be a former cat breeder:)There’s not a limit as to what I can do.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life - growing up with cats and dogs instilled a deep love for animals that eventually led me to professional pet sitting in 2017. I spent five years as a trusted sitter in Portland, OR and nearly three years living in Bali, where I continued caring for animals and fostering strays in need. Pet and house sitting allows me to combine my nomadic lifestyle with my passion for animal care. I get to provide excellent care for your pets while staying connected to the fur babies I’ve always had in my life. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I’m available for weekday and weekend sits. I’m active and love taking dogs on hikes and adventures, and I’m equally happy spending quality time with cats who prefer cozy companionship. I’m highly organized and responsible. I’ll follow your care instructions to the letter, whether that’s administering medication, maintaining routines, or honoring your pet’s unique personality and needs. I work remotely with an extremely flexible schedule, which means I can be home with pets throughout the day. I’m not tied to an office or rigid hours. I structure my work around the animals I’m caring for, not the other way around. This makes it easy to accommodate morning walks, midday play sessions, feeding times, medications, or just keeping them company while I work. Whether your pet needs multiple daily walks or prefers a consistent routine with lots of companionship, my schedule allows me to provide exactly what they need. My approach is simple: I treat your home like my own and aim to leave it better than I found it. I take this responsibility seriously. Whether that’s keeping things tidy, watering plants, bringing in mail, or just making sure everything runs smoothly while you’re away. With your pets, my goal is to create stability and build trust. I stick to their routines, respect their boundaries, and give them the consistency they need to feel safe and cared for. Whether they’re anxious about you being gone or they adapt easily, I’m there to make sure they feel loved and secure until you’re back.
“Lena did a great job walking my sweet but reactive Cowpie. She gets so sad when I'm away and Lena was able to get her out the door and make it happen.”
About: Hi! I'm Becca and am Canyon’s human. He’s a red heeler I rescued 2 years ago. I’ve learned so much about dog reactivity from him and he has gained so much confidence. It’s so important to me that any new pet I meet feels safe and comfortable with me. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I’m currently in between jobs so I have a very flexible schedule. With extra notice I’m always happy to offer help or to try to find a time that does work. I ask for specific instructions for your pet so I can make them feel as comfortable and safe as possible. I do not have a yard, but I live in a safe area and have easy access to a park.
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: Besides my experience with my own pets I began volunteering at the Oregon Humane Society at 17. After that I went on to dog sit for various different families part time for around 3 years. I have a big window of availability currently. I’m going back to school in the fall, but until then I am just working part time. I work for my grandpa, so my schedule is super flexible! When I dog sit in the clients home I will follow your instructional list for feeding/walks/ activities/ grooming ect. I have car so I can take your pup to nearby parks/ dog parks if you would like, or just for a classic stroll around your neighborhood if you prefer. For clients that would prefer I take car if you dog in my home I have a fenced in back yard and live near several park so we can go on several adventures. Or just chill at home if you have a senior/ more low energy dog. My only deal breaker is that your dog isn’t reactive towards cats.
About: I have been caring for animals for over 40 years and truly love being around them. Over the years I've owned and cared for dogs cats chickens goats and ducks so I'm very comfortable with different personalities needs and routines. I currently have a 17 lb rat terrier named Dutton who I've had since he was 12 weeks old. He is now almost 5 years old and absolutely the love of my life. Because of him I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and know they're being treated like family. My home is set up to be safe and comfortable for dogs I have a fully fenced backyard with a dog run, as well as a dog door so they can come and go in and out freely. I offer weekend overnight boarding and make sure every dog in my car gets attention affection and a calm loving environment. If you need longer boarding needs we can discuss that. Take care of something I generally enjoy and prioritize in my routine. During the weekdays Im home most of the day and maintain a consistent schedule at home with morning and evening care. On weekends I'm home much more and able to give pets my full attention. This is when I offer overnight boarding so your dog will have plenty of supervision interaction and a relaxed home environment. Because I have a dog door and a fully fenced backyard with a dog run dogs in my care can safely go in and out as needed I make sure they are comfortable, cared for, and treated like part of the family while they're with me. I have a fully fenced backyard. With the dog run. A dog door so they can go in and out when they please. This gives the dog an opportunity to venture into the backyard as they like.
About: See my $20 Off QR Code in my photos! I love being around animals and have been around them my whole life. I grew up in generations of animal & nature-lovers. It’s a gift to be able to connect with animals. I love to return the positive energy an animal gives. I feel like every animal deserves kindness. I feel like I have a gift to be able read, understand, calm and relax and add happiness to an animal’s day. They are therapy for me as much as I feel I am for them. I’m happiest and genuinely feel most at-ease with animals. It’s important for me they feel comfortable with and around me. I know that much like human children, routine is very important to pets. If you need me to check in on them, feed /water them, potty breaks/short walks/close-by parks/play toss-the-ball, hug/cuddle/companion-time or stay at your home I am available to help. I develop unique connections to each animal I’m around and grateful to be around each one. Whatever a pet-owner needs me to do to help make their pet’s day better, I’m up for the challenge. Animals make my day, daily! Whether it be my friend’s dogs & cats or the Brahma bull that is up the road, I try to see an animal each day. I do have experience with animals that have high-anxiety, special needs and abusive backgrounds. I currently have a few tears in my meniscus which is preventing me to do rigorous walks. I will be scheduling surgery soon but that does not prevent me from tossing a ball around for a dog. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pet(s)! I am looking to assist with in-home day/night(s) stays, drop-in visits and walks. I’m available anytime and look forward to meeting you & your pet(s)! Although I do have a wonderful, small fenced-in yard, I live in an 800 sq ft home therefore, I think it's best to go where the pet is most-comfortable (their own home).

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.
About: I've taken care of animals of almost every kind for most of my life, both professionally as a Veterinary Technician for more than 15+ years as well as personally with my own pets, which I've had all my life. I truly love animals and have dedicated my life to helping and caring for them and even plan on attending Vet School. I have fostered countless animals, both dogs and cats, as well as more than 35 bottle-fed kittens. I have experience with just about every kind of pet and even those that are senior or those with special requirements such as medications, special diets, and subcutaneous fluid and physical therapy. I have a great deal of experience with animal behavior and have worked with many difficult and even aggressive animals. I currently work on a full-time basis, so I will have plenty of time throughout the week and weekends to dedicate to caring for the most precious members of your family! I have done quite a bit of pet sitting work so I am very familiar with this experience. I am extremely respectful when I'm in my client's home and I remain conscious of the fact that it's your pet's home too and I'm respectful of their space as well.

I will do everything in my power to ensure your pet's wellbeing and happiness, while still accomplishing everything that has been asked of me by my client. I will care for your fur babies as if they were my own!

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!

“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.”
“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.”
“Cassandra and Trevor were absolutely amazing with my daughter’s dog, Leo, while she was hospitalized. He required a great deal of personal care because he does not have the use of his back legs and is missing one eye due to previous abuse. Cassandra and Trevor sent daily photos, videos, and updates, and spent a great deal of time hand-feeding him and carrying him to where he needed to go. When we picked him up, Leo was one. alert, clean, and happy little dog. Thank you so much, Cassandra and Trevor!”

“Araceli is so kind and amazing! Our dog came home tuckered out and I know she had the best time. She also was sure to send us multiple updates during her stay and she’s super responsive. I completely felt at ease leaving our dog in her care and will be a repeat customer going forward. Thank you, Araceli! :)”

“Jared took wonderful care of our 12-year-old dog, Ace, during a four-night stay. From the beginning, he was friendly, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease leaving our senior pup in his care. Ace came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that Jared genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. We really appreciated the peace of mind knowing Ace was in such good hands. We will definitely book with Jared again and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter.”
“Christine was awesome in caring for our two elderly dogs at her home!! From the moment we connected by phone, I sensed her warm, caring spirit toward animals. She sent regular updates and photos while we were away. I offer Christine the highest level of recommendation and we definitely plan on utilizing her again in the future.”
“absolutely amazing and careful with my very anxious german shepherd. my dog struggles with no people and environments due to some issues in her past and i’ve never been able to find a place where she feels safe but she has been able to stay with shasta happily. i appreciate her and her family so so much for all they do!! highly recommend!!”

“I've had Steve watch my 1 year old dog twice now and can't say enough good things about him! He is a multi-dog sitter who has been wonderful with large dog packs. Steve sends pictures and videos when ever I ask for a check in. He has been flexible with pick up and drop off. He asks all the right questions up front. Steve is my go-to sitter from now on. His home is lovely and he has a beautiful yard for the dogs to play in. Both if his own dogs are happy and so sweet to me and Jade whenever we visit. I am SO grateful to have a person so close that I fell so comfortable bringing my dog to.”

About: I have two dogs ages 5 & 6, I trained both of them when they were puppies. Brewer and goose love other dogs but can also be kept separate if needed. I’ve taken care of family pets since I was young and enjoy playing with animals. I currently home full time with my two children. We pop out for go to classes in the evening but are usually home Monday -Friday. We live in 6 acres of fenced in yard. Lots of room to play and throw ball. We do have an older cat that keeps to herself. Would prefer a dog that doesn’t want to chase cats.
