“Our nervous golden doodle has a great time! We got lots of pictures and quick responses from Lajetta. She was very well cared for and we will be reaching out again for dog sitting!”
“Ron will be our go-to guy as long as he is willing to take our dog! Our dog is always so anxious before and after we leave. He was excited to run into Ron’s home and has been so relaxed ever since we picked him up.”
“Juan was awesome with our boy Vandal! He took him on walks, went to the park, sent pictures, and gave him ALLLL the attention! We will definitely be booking with him again in the future! Thank you so much!!!”
“This was my dog's second time staying with Morgan and it went just as smoothly as the first time. I especially appreciate Morgan's reliability and communication.”
“Heath and Amy were amazing! Super flexible with all drop off and pickup needs, they have a lovely family that clearly love animals. Our dog was super happy to spend over a week with them which isn't super common as she is typically a bit nervous about new home environments. Not in this case, she made herself right at home thanks to their welcoming presence and their own pup was the perfect playmate. We will definitely be reaching out to them for future dogsitting needs.”
“Gage is really nice and responsive and he took a great care of Tater tot. We got regular updates and pictures and was easy to communicate with. I highly recommend! Will rebook again in future.”
“Barry is wonderful! Like many pet owners, we were so nervous leaving our almost 14 year old Callie behind for a few days. However, within our first meet and greet with Barry and Shaka we were comfortable, knowing Callie would be in good hands. Barry sent daily updates and pictures everyday. Allowing us to be more at ease on our trip. Communication was great as he was quick to respond and was very flexible with our drop off time, when we were running behind. Barry has experience with senior dogs, he was kind and understanding with all of Callie’s feeding and meds instructions. We could tell, Callie really enjoyed all the smells in the garden and the calm setting. We can’t say enough, other than we are so glad we found Barry and we would highly recommend him.”
“Paula is a dog person thru and thru and I loved knowing my Lily pug was safe in her care. Will use Paula again :) Thank you again for taking such good care of our lily pug!”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Tommy! I know he had an awesome time and appreciate all the pictures and videos!! He sure had a smile on his face!”
“We had an outstanding experience with Paulo. His communication was excellent from start to finish. He kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was clear that he really cared about our pet’s comfort and routine. We highly recommend Paulo to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible sitter!”
“Annika, John, and Pepper are perfect sitters for our shy dog! She gets lots of time to play/explore, spoiled with cuddles, and loves going over there. They’re always communicative throughout the stay.”
About: I’m a dog owner and lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I have a 7-year-old Shiba Inu of my own, so I understand the quirks of independent, strong-willed breeds. I work from home which means your dog gets consistent attention throughout the day rather than sitting alone for hours. I’m calm, reliable, and treat every dog like family. Your pup will be well exercised, well loved, and well cared for. I work fully remote from home, meaning your dog gets consistent company and attention throughout the entire day. No long hours alone. I’m available for boarding any day of the week and can accommodate last minute requests. Walks happen morning and evening, and as needed with plenty of downtime in between. Your dog will be staying in my clean, comfortable apartment where they’ll be treated like family. I’m an experienced dog owner with a Shiba Inu of my own, so I understand dog behavior and body language well. I keep a calm, structured environment and will always communicate with you about how your pup is doing. Your dog’s safety and comfort is my priority.
“Melani was great taking care of CalCal my goldendoodle. We met up beforehand to make sure my dog would get along with her dog. She sent many photos during the boarding. Would use her again; thanks Melani!”
“Justin & Jane were an absolute joy to work with. Turner was living the dream while we were away and we can’t recommend them enough to entrust with your pets. We really appreciated the consistent communication and updates, as well as all the enrichment they provided our boy with. Looking forward to Turner’s next stay!”
“This family took great care of our dog and hamster, I highly recommend. I received pictures throughout our time away and updates on how the animals were doing. I will contact them for our next vacation away from home.”
“Chava cared for our Madison as if she was her own! We got a daily update and again, it was evident that she cares about doggies. Bonus points that Madison got nightly cuddles and enjoyed playing with her pup.”
“Both Aliina and Teddy took great care of our Teddy. He really enjoyed the stay and left a happy dog. I will highly recommend them for your dog's stay. Thank you so much, Aliina and Teddy!”

“Mandy was quick to respond to any change or urgent messages. She was flexible and able to help monitor my cat’s sore that needed to be checked to see that it didn’t reappear.”
“Alejandra is so caring to my cat, Pony. I needed someone on short notice to take care of Pony and Alejandra was quick to help me and flexible to accommodate my needs and keep Pony happy and healthy.

About: Hey everyone! My name is Alanya and I am so excited to have the opportunity in caring for your furry friends! I have had dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, birds, and fish (even all at the same time, haha)! I am a Political Science major at the University of Washington in Seattle and am back in Oregon for the summer, where I grew up. Whenever I am not with my own pets, I love going to my grandparents farm to spend time with their animals as well! I heavily value responsibilities, diligent care, and making any pet feel cared for and loved. I volunteered at Animal Aid shelter where I worked with cats and a bit with dogs for three years. I also have been through a professional dog training course, so I am able to help train your puppies if needed as well! I can walk, feed, pamper, play, and train any pet. Whenever I am not with pets, I work a lot with children as I have worked at daycares, as a camp counselor, a class tutor, and even babysat as well. From this I learned patience, care, and problem-solving skills. I would love to assist you in taking care of your pet! If you are interested please feel free to contact me on here with any further questions or inquiries! Thank you so much and I am looking forward to meeting your furry friends!
“Shannon was amazing with our cats. One is extremely shy and she brought her out of her shell (and from hiding under the bed). She’s conscientious and we loved all the photos in her updates. We’d absolutely ask her to drop in again.”
About: I have had cats my entire life, so I understand how different each cat’s personality, routine, and comfort level can be. Some cats want attention right away, while others need quiet, space, and patience before they warm up. I provide calm, dependable care and follow each owner’s instructions closely to help keep their cat’s routine as normal and stress free as possible. During visits, I can refresh food and water, clean litter boxes, provide playtime, offer quiet companionship, and check that the home environment is safe and secure. I pay attention to appetite, litter box habits, mood, hiding behavior, and anything that seems unusual. I also send clear updates with photos so owners know their cat is safe, comfortable, and cared for while they are away.
About: Hey there! I'm an energetic and avid lover of dogs and pets alike. I had a French Bulldog in the past who kept life interesting. I like to think I became an expert at keeping him entertained and well taken care of. I also have two cats, who I love to death, making me flexible to work with multi-pet homes. To keep my puppy entertained, I'd take him out on daily walks for half an hour or longer, as well as throw a ball or another beloved toy around to get his energy out! I've worked with families with dogs of various sizes and have always done my best to keep them entertained and well taken care of. I promise to shower your best friend with lots of love! I currently work a full time job during the week (M-F, 8am-5pm). However, I’m happy to take care of your furry friend after work or throughout the weekend. I ensure I speak with the owners about any specific needs or activities to consider when taking care of their pup. I have taken care of dogs in owner's homes and let them roam free in the backyard while I am home and then in a kennel until I or their owners have returned. Additionally, I will ensure I keep them in a safe environment and away from other potentially dangerous dogs or situations when out in public.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over six years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, birds, chickens, geckos, lizards, and other small animals. My strongest experience is with horses, but I genuinely love caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve pet sat and house sat for friends, family, and others, caring for both dogs and cats while making sure they stay comfortable and stick to their normal routines. Although I’ve never personally owned a cat because family members were allergic, I’ve cared for both indoor house cats and barn cats, and I absolutely love spending time with them. Every cat has their own personality, and I enjoy earning their trust—whether they’re playful, curious, or prefer a quiet companion. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, energy level, and preferences. Whether your pet wants a long walk, playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll provide patient, reliable care and treat them like they’re one of my own. I also believe in keeping owners updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Mark and Lester were great sitters for Finn. It was a last minute request and they were willing to care for Finn, share updates and make him feel at home. Thank you!! Highly recommend!”
“Bangyun was amazing with my pup. Bella her dog is very friendly and had lots of play time and walk together during the stay. You know your baby has been having fun when they can’t wait to go into her house in the morning, jumping out of the car and rushing into the front door! Will re book when needed again definitely! Thank you so much !!! :)”
“Lajetta is the best! She frequently watches my dog and he gets so excited to see her and loves going over there. He usually doesn’t want to leave when I go pick him up. She does a great job caring for Tony.”
“Another wonderful visit at Dawn's house. She has so much fun with Dawn's daughter and their two dogs. It's a mini vacation for Maggie when she is with them. Couldn't find a better place for her when we are away.”
“Anupama took such great care of our dog Mimi! She sent photo updates, communicated well throughout the whole stay, and asked us thoughtful questions about Mimi to help provide the best care for her. Thank you Anu!”
“We couldn’t be more thrilled with the care Chelsea provided for Bubu and Lola during their days at her place! Both of our Huskies can be a bit particular, but she handled them with such patience and love. From the moment we dropped them off, it was clear that Bubu and Lola felt right at home. Chelsea kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and messages, which made our workday so much easier knowing they were having a great time. It was such a relief to see them so relaxed and happy! We highly recommend Chelsea to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their pets. Bubu and Lola can’t wait for their next visit! 😊🐶”
“We love Alex! She’s fabulous and her love for the pups shows up in such a beautiful way in how she cares for them! She is patient and loving and Winnie loves playing in her wonderful yard and spending time with her, her husband!”
About: Hi, I’m Kenah. I provide dependable pet care for families who want someone calm, responsible, and attentive caring for their pets and their home. My background includes years of caregiving, direct support, healthcare operations, and compliance work, so I am very comfortable following detailed instructions, respecting home routines, documenting important updates, and noticing when something seems off. I know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home or care for a pet you love, and I take that responsibility seriously. During each visit, I focus on keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I am happy to help with feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, litter box care, playtime, basic cleanup, and photo updates. I also make sure doors are locked, instructions are followed, and you receive clear communication so you are not left wondering how your pet is doing. I especially enjoy working with pets who do best with a steady, patient person. Whether your pet is social and playful or shy and slow to warm up, I will follow your lead and care for them in the way that works best for their personality. My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to work around each pet’s normal routine. I am available for drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting depending on the day, time, and location. I prefer to plan ahead when possible so I can give each pet the right amount of time and attention, but I may also be able to help with shorter-notice requests when my schedule allows. I take safety and trust very seriously, whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have a small, calm home environment with a large, fully fenced yard, which gives dogs space to get fresh air, play, and take potty breaks safely. I always supervise outdoor time and make sure gates and doors are secure.
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, and this passion runs deep in our family. My teenage son, and our furry friend, Sparky, all share in this love for pets. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted us to board, walk, feed, and entertain their dogs. I'll personally be the one taking care of your pet, ensuring they receive all the attention and care they deserve. Even so, my teenage son helps a lot and the proceeds will go directly to his account and to him. NOTE: We do not currently accept dogs requiring considerable medication management, extensive walking, or special mobility care. Best suited for adult dogs (ages ~1–12) who do not need constant assistance. I’m a homebody, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup! I share my home with my teenage son, our furry friend Sparky, and up to two pet guests. We all love having dogs around, but I’m the one dedicated to making sure every guest enjoys the very best 🐶 Dog Vacay While You’re Away! 😊. I have a secure, fenced large backyard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company, offering plenty of playtime both indoors and in the backyard. Crating can be provided if your dog needs a safe, cozy space to sleep, just let us know. Our large backyard is covered mostly with artificial turf and is kept clean at all times, giving dogs plenty of space to zoom, chase, and play fetch. On hot days, we closely monitor the turf temperature 🌡️ and use water sprinklers to cool it down, helping keep your pet’s paws 🐾 safe and comfortable.

Very happy with my experience and will definitely book again ?”
“Poppy received excellent care! She got plenty of attention and exercise and came home thoroughly relaxed and tired. A huge difference from other daycare experiences we’ve had where she comes home anxious and stressed.”

“Chelsea gave all the best first impressions. She understood Raymond extremely well and was attentive to the support I needed. I'm so thankful we met and excited to keep working with her.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was a preteen, and they’ve always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with three large dogs and a cat, and today I’m a proud cat mom to my playful orange tabby, Mr. Binx. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My experience includes energetic puppies who need plenty of exercise and patience, large and small breed dogs, as well as senior dogs who require consistent routines, early morning walks, and timely medication. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions to ensure every pet stays happy, healthy, and on schedule. I’m equally experienced with cats, from shy or grumpy kitties who need a calm, gentle approach to affectionate companions who love attention. I’ve also cared for senior cats who require medication, regular litter box monitoring, and extra patience and comfort. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs. My goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible while you’re away—so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, dependable hands. I currently have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to caring for your fur babies day or night. I’m looking forward to filling my days with extra cuddles, companionship, and providing loving care while you’re away! When caring for your pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care I would want for my own. I have experience staying in other people’s homes for extended periods, including multiple weeks and over a month, while providing consistent and loving care for their pets. I come prepared with my own pillow, blanket, and meals so I can be fully self-sufficient while respecting your home. Before an extended stay, I would love to meet you and your pets at least twice to build trust, learn their routine, and understand their unique needs. I’m experienced with administering oral medications and caring for pets with additional needs. My goal is to keep your pets comfortable and stress-free by following their normal routine, providing regular updates, and giving them the same love and attention I give my own.
About: I have loved animals my whole life and have experience caring for a variety of pets including dogs, chickens, guinea pigs, and fish. Recently, I have been volunteering at the PIMA animal shelter, taking dogs out for the day! I’ve been pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since middle school, which has given me lots of hands-on experience with different pet personalities and needs. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care so they feel happy and relaxed. I also have a very cute dog of my own named Larry, so I know firsthand how much pets mean to their families! I’m currently a student at the University of Arizona majoring in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences with a minor in Business. Being responsible, attentive, and caring are very important to me, and I bring those qualities into every pet sitting job. Because I attend school in Tucson, I’m unfortunately not able to pet sit on a weekly basis. However, I frequently come home during school breaks and holidays, and I would love to spend that time helping care for your pets! During my time at home, I’m available and happy to provide attentive, reliable care. Spending time with animals is something I truly enjoy, and pet sitting is a great way for me to do something I love while I’m back in town. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all routines and instructions closely so your pet feels secure and stays on their normal schedule. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I always treat my clients’ homes with respect and keep a clean, safe environment for pets. I’m attentive to details like keeping doors and gates secure, making sure pets are supervised, and ensuring they are happy and comfortable while you’re away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, so I always try to provide patient, loving care so they feel relaxed and well cared for.
About: While I am new to professional pet sitting, I am a quick learner and have always had a genuine love for them. I am flexible and committed to giving your pet the most wonderful care :) Im currently working part time, but get my schedule 3 weeks in advance, so I know my days off and times. I usually work early mornings or evenings, so I get one or the other open! I understand pets have schedules and routines which I like to prioritize to make them feel the most safe and comfortable in their space. I willing provide lots of attention and playtime, but also notice when a pet has their own boundaries too

In my home, I currently have two dogs and we allow them indoors. I have a fenced backyard for them to run around, an upstairs bedding area for them to sleep, and a food area to eat and drink. If needed, I can separate the pets as well from my own. As for cats, I have a play stationary for them and a food and water station! In your home, I am open to following any rules, checking in on the pets, doing walks, feeding, giving them water, playing with them with their toys, whatever is needed for appropriate pet care!
About: I’ve had a love for animals my whole life, I’ve had cats and dogs since I was born and currently have 5 pets at home! (2 dogs 3 cats) I have been house sitting my pets for a few years while my parents go out of town, and have also helped a few family friends with their pets. I have dealt with untrained dogs, high maintenance dogs, seniors, puppies, and urinary issues. I’m currently working part-time from 5-9pm. Before then, I will have all day to tend to your pets and let them out for some exercise and potty breaks. When I do run errands, I am never gone for more than 3 hours at a time. For dog walking, I am able to walk however far your dog needs to ensure they get the right amount of exercise. For sitting, I will make sure your pet gets let out for potty breaks and the proper amount of care during the day, whether it is a walk or a small training exercise. For drop in visits, I will tend to whatever your pet needs during that visit.
About: I have two dogs of my own, one of which has had some serious health issues and food allergies and the other has struggled with reactivity. I have also cared for my family’s dogs since I was 16! I do agility training with both my dogs and have extensive experience in handling high energy herding dogs, sensitive dogs who need space, and being aware of dogs’ individual needs. I am in the middle of a career transition and only working part time right now. I love dogs and need some additional movement and pup play time in my life! I work from home, self-employed, with a flexible schedule and am seeking dog walking and drop in visits to fill gaps in my schedule. Typically I have availability from late morning after dropping my kids off at school and can be available anytime into the evening! I pay attention to each dog’s individual temperaments. I know that each dog has different needs for space, affection, movement, etc. I am familiar with different breeds and their energy levels. I believe in positive reinforcement training only and I aim to treat dogs gently and respectfully. If a dog is struggling, I look for why and try to figure out what they need to be successful instead of getting frustrated with them.
About: I have lots of experience with cats and dogs and have2 cats of my own. I’m very flexible with my schedule and reliable. I love animals. I’m very patient loving and caring. I can walk, feed, play and give lots of love and affection. I’ve had dogs growing up and have had experience with pet sitting and walking. I’ve always had cats. I get a long very well with animals. I just need to know ahead of time of their needs. I have had asthma so I use an inhaler and can’t run but I can still walk them and make sure they get exercise. I don’t drive or have a car but I can take the bus or take an Uber or Lyft. I am disabled but still have lots of capability and time to spend time with dog or cats. I’m very flexible and reliable I make sure there’s lots of play time and opportunities to go outside to go on a walk or go to the bathroom. I can’t run due to asthma but I can still play and get exercise in. I give lots of love and attention just like they were my own I am disabled so I have a lot of spare time. I am a student but that’s part time so I still have plenty of time to spend with the pets I have an apartment with a small yard. I feed, bathe, walk, and play with pets staying in my home. They’re aloud on furniture or wherever they’re comfortable. In others’ home, I would care for the pets just as I would in my home unless instructed to do otherwise. Feed, play, cuddle, walk.
About: I have been around animals, both dogs and cats, for most of my life, so I know what goes into taking care of them (even the ones who need a little extra help). I am currently freelance and remote, so I am able to change my schedule around to suite the needs of both you and your pet. I am able to travel to your home either overnight or for drop-in care whenever needed. I will follow all set rules about whatever space I use to a T.
About: Dogs have always been in my life. My family has always had dachshunds with personalities ranging from fun and playful to shy and reserved. I have experience caring for dogs of all kinds! I’m a college student home for the summer, so I have nothing but free time to take care of your pets! I’ll be home until September if you need someone reliable and consistent. I care for pets with kindness and communication. I’m a responsible student who knows how to pay attention to detail and give your pet the care they require. I will be sure to keep you updated with photos and messages. I genuinely care about animals and would love to provide a great experience for your pet!
About: I've had cats, dogs, fish, and rodents, and would love to share my time with even more beloved pets! I worked at a vet clinic for awhile, so safety will be my number one priority. I currently volunteer with a local cat rescue. I even worked with a wildlife rehabilitation center a few years ago, so no animal would be outside my comfort zone, although I have little experience with reptiles. I work full time during the week, but will have about 45 minutes to devote to your furry friend around midday! I am flexible before and after my job, and am often available during weekend days and holidays. I will not offer boarding services, however, I am happy to schedule my time around your fur baby to ensure that they get the love and care they deserve! I am comfortable caring for (feeding, walking, brushing, etc.) and medicating (with instruction) dogs and cats, if necessary!
“Nour is great. Our little pup is very happy to hang out with her. She shows up on time and has even spent a little extra little bit of effort to play with our dog. Would highly recommend Nour to others and will be scheduling with her again.”
“Bangyun was a great dog walker. She responded quickly to our request, provided great updates and pictures, and our dogs seemed to enjoy her! We will happy use her again for future walks!”
“Vannessa is a fantastic choice as either a dog walker or sitter. She was responsible, punctual, my dog loves her, and she is a pleasure to work with. Strongly recommend her.”
About: I grew up with 2 furry siblings and am a dog person through and through! I decided to join Rover because I want to provide dog owners a reliable boarding option and offer a peace of mind in knowing that your dog is safe and loved! I know how important this is for my husband and me when we have toleave Charlie for a few nights. I love long walks and runs...(just like your dog) and would love a furry companion to join my daily workout! Whether we are curled up in a blanket reading, running around the neighborhood, or playing in the dog park, your dog will have a wonderful time with me! *New to rover?

“Ron will be our go-to guy as long as he is willing to take our dog! Our dog is always so anxious before and after we leave. He was excited to run into Ron’s home and has been so relaxed ever since we picked him up.”
“This was my dog's second time staying with Morgan and it went just as smoothly as the first time. I especially appreciate Morgan's reliability and communication.”
“Heath and Amy were amazing! Super flexible with all drop off and pickup needs, they have a lovely family that clearly love animals. Our dog was super happy to spend over a week with them which isn't super common as she is typically a bit nervous about new home environments. Not in this case, she made herself right at home thanks to their welcoming presence and their own pup was the perfect playmate. We will definitely be reaching out to them for future dogsitting needs.”
“Barry is wonderful! Like many pet owners, we were so nervous leaving our almost 14 year old Callie behind for a few days. However, within our first meet and greet with Barry and Shaka we were comfortable, knowing Callie would be in good hands. Barry sent daily updates and pictures everyday. Allowing us to be more at ease on our trip. Communication was great as he was quick to respond and was very flexible with our drop off time, when we were running behind. Barry has experience with senior dogs, he was kind and understanding with all of Callie’s feeding and meds instructions. We could tell, Callie really enjoyed all the smells in the garden and the calm setting. We can’t say enough, other than we are so glad we found Barry and we would highly recommend him.”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Tommy! I know he had an awesome time and appreciate all the pictures and videos!! He sure had a smile on his face!”
About: I’m a dog owner and lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I have a 7-year-old Shiba Inu of my own, so I understand the quirks of independent, strong-willed breeds. I work from home which means your dog gets consistent attention throughout the day rather than sitting alone for hours. I’m calm, reliable, and treat every dog like family. Your pup will be well exercised, well loved, and well cared for. I work fully remote from home, meaning your dog gets consistent company and attention throughout the entire day. No long hours alone. I’m available for boarding any day of the week and can accommodate last minute requests. Walks happen morning and evening, and as needed with plenty of downtime in between. Your dog will be staying in my clean, comfortable apartment where they’ll be treated like family. I’m an experienced dog owner with a Shiba Inu of my own, so I understand dog behavior and body language well. I keep a calm, structured environment and will always communicate with you about how your pup is doing. Your dog’s safety and comfort is my priority.
“Melani was great taking care of CalCal my goldendoodle. We met up beforehand to make sure my dog would get along with her dog. She sent many photos during the boarding. Would use her again; thanks Melani!”
“Justin & Jane were an absolute joy to work with. Turner was living the dream while we were away and we can’t recommend them enough to entrust with your pets. We really appreciated the consistent communication and updates, as well as all the enrichment they provided our boy with. Looking forward to Turner’s next stay!”
“Chava cared for our Madison as if she was her own! We got a daily update and again, it was evident that she cares about doggies. Bonus points that Madison got nightly cuddles and enjoyed playing with her pup.”
“Both Aliina and Teddy took great care of our Teddy. He really enjoyed the stay and left a happy dog. I will highly recommend them for your dog's stay. Thank you so much, Aliina and Teddy!”
“Our 13-year-old toy poodle, Lolita, did great with Lisa. We left her for 10 days and I received lots of pictures and updates, which put my heart at ease just knowing that she was in good hands.”
“Lea was awesome! Couldn't have asked for a better experience for our chocolate lab, Moose. Lea was flexible with dropoff/pickup, super responsive over text, shared pics each day, and provided a nice, comfortable vacation for our 7.5 yr old pup. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Always a wonderful experience to work with Kimberly! Peace of mind is so important to enjoying a trip especially with a greyhound with quirks and we never have to worry when she’s here 💜”
“Intentional, caring, and a great set up for a dog. Easy 5-star review! Christopher was awesome for someone who, along with my pup, has a bit of anxiety staying with random people. We did a meet up before the stay where Christopher took notes and helped calm me and the dog! Ruby got walks, played in the big yard and felt right at home. Wonderful experience for dog & owners!”
“Mark was very thoughtful about compatibility with our dog and we felt good about leaving Léo with him for a weekend. As it happens we had a family emergency and then asked Mark to board an additional weekend ahead, and he was super responsive and friendly. You know you have a good boarder when your pup prances when seeing him at pickup! Very happy with our two back to back boardings and Mark’s regular updates.”
“Don is absolutely the best! I can't imagine a better sitter for our Maverick. He enjoys playing with Hunter, going on walks, and cuddling with Melody. We always feel completely comfortable when Maverick stays with Don and that is a huge relief....knowing that our little guy is well cared for!”
“Andrea deserve to be a star sitter :) she took very great care London, took pictures and communicated with and she was quick to respond too. London felt very comfortable with her and her home right away. I can tell London was enjoying he time with Andrea. Thank again for everything.”
