“Dylan was great! He was able to take both Milo & Pebbles at late notice and was readily responsive to any/all communications. He has a beautiful property & set up for doggos. Safe places for them to sleep, lots of room to run & play, and a cooling/warming station to accomodate weather extremes. He is a trainer, so worked with the doggos a little bit; though, for their stay, he was very consious of safe-play and interactions with other dogs and introducing them to a new experience. We (my husband and I) were really impressed with his knowledge of/affinity for dogs and kindness/genuine care towards them. So very grateful; we highly recommend him and will absolutely have our doggos stay with him again!”
“We needed to leave our 4 month old puppy with a sitter for a week and were so happy with Joy. She introduced Kruger to other dogs for the first time in a very controlled manner. She provided an amazing learning and socialization growth experience for him. She sent us lots of photos and kept in touch so we could see how he was doing and how much fun he was having. We highly recommend Joy!”
“Chris was a gem. We were new to town and needed to find a trusted person who loves dogs. I would give Chris 10 stars out of 5 for his excellent care of my dogs. Definitely we are booking for overnight boarding with Chris again. Luna and Dune have joined his pack. They loved their visit with Chris.”
“Alexis is a pro! We’ve had many rough experiences with sitters over the years, so it was such a relief to meet someone with true experience and confidence in creating a safe and loving environment for our pup. Her and her husband went above and beyond to accommodate us and to make sure we could be away worry free. Her pups are super sweet and playful, their home is amazing, and they are genuinely wonderful people - you want your dog to stay with them!!!”
About: I have over 20 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My background includes dog shows, responsible breeding, and training, giving me a deep understanding of canine behavior, health, and individual “Open availability 24/7 for reliable, loving pet care. Day, night, weekends, and holidays—your pets are always my priority.” Give me a call. I know we can make it happen. When caring for pets, my priority is always their safety, comfort, routine, and emotional well-being. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and the service being provided.
“We’ve booked Laura a couple times to take care of our pups and only have great things to say. She’s super communicative, and the dogs love her. Plus, she has a huge fenced in backyard, so we always feel good about the dogs having plenty of outside time. ❤️❤️”
About: I raised my 2 dogs from puppies to adults. Very familiar with potty and obedience training. Familiar with dogs that are reactive and need some extra attention. Work from home so I will almost always be around to watch them and provide attention if I am boarding your dog. Already give my dogs 2-3 walks through the day. I have a fully fenced yard and doggy doors through the garage and to the backyard. One of my dogs, Lucy, is very friendly with others and the other, Javi, prefers his space, but generally just ignores others.

“Melissa has been great with our cat. He’s always happy when we get home after she stays with him. She understands cat body language, follows instructions, and sends lots of updates and pictures. We definitely recommend her!”
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've worked in the veterinary field since 2001 as a receptionist, veterinary technician, and front office manager, caring for pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. Growing up, both my parents were animal control officers and our home fostered hundreds of animals, so I learned early on how to handle, comfort, and care for pets in many different situations. I work full-time Mondaythrough Thursday but am often flexible for visits before and after work. I'm off Friday through Sunday and available for pet sitting and pet care during those days. I will care for your pet in your home as if they were my own. I understand how important it it is for pets to stay in their familiar environment, so my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I will make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive plenty of exercise and playtime, and get lots of attention and affection. I will always keep a close eye on their health, behavior, and comfort while you are away. My priority is to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for until your return home.
“This was our first time using Rover. Arianna was very responsive to initial request and made a pre-visit meet and greet. She visited daily as requested and sent pictures of our kitties. We would 100% recommend Arianna and will request her again.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up surrounded by pets. I spent many years going to dog shows and caring for animals including horses, cats, hamsters, doves, turtles, fish, and of course dogs. I had my sweet cat for twenty years before she passed and I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets. I treat every animal like family and focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your cat!

I'm also happy to send status updates as frequently as you wish. I'm here to give your pets as much normalcy in their day-to-day schedule as I can while you're away. I will comfort them the best i can because i know how taxing it can be on the pets and their loved ones while they're apart.

“Dylan watched our dogs for the day while we visited Crater Lake. It was an unusually hot day and Dylan made sure to keep them cool and comfortable. They looked happy when we picked them up. We really appreciated his help and responsiveness.”
“Chris is so awesome and really easy to work with. His dogs are friendly and he has a nice big yard for the doggos to play. I love how quick he always is to respond and his general kind and positive communication. Thank you Chris! I highly recommend his daycare services.”

About: I've had a love for animals my whole life & have spent the last 5 years working as a dog groomer. During that time I've cared for dogs ranging from energetic puppies to seniors who need a little extra patience & support. I'm Pet First Aid & CPR certified. I've worked with puppers who have special needs, including allergies, mobility challenges, heart murmurs, brachycephalic breeds, & other health concerns. I've been trained on critical & non critical signs of stress, so I know when things are concerning & always keep pet parents informed. I'm also comfortable handing nervous, reactive, & challenging dogs. I currently work remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule & allows me to dedicate plenty of time & attention to any pet in my care. Aside from the occasional errand, I'm available to spend most of the day with your pet, keeping them company and maintaining their normal routine. I offer drop in visits overnight, stays and extended care. I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection and 1 on 1 time while you're away. While caring for pets, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved, while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. Before each stay, I'd love to learn about your pets, so I can provide personalized care that feels familiar. I'll carefully follow instructions for meals, walks, potty breaks, and any other routine your pet relies on beyond meeting their basic needs. I want their time with me to feel like a vacation. That means extra playtime, enrichment, belly rubs, cuddles, and plenty of 1 on 1 attention. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax, knowing your pet is happy, safe, and having a great time while you're away.

About: Animals are inherently apart of who I am as a person, and my love and compassion for them is a part of my soul and what makes me, well, me! Here's a little bit 'About Me': - First and foremost, I have been training pets for over 20 years! - Secondly, I charge the rates I do as I do this professionally and take my job very seriously. I’m caring for your animals 24 hours a day and provide top rate above and beyond service to your animal. As such, I charge the rates I do as it’s a reflection of the quality of care I provide & allows me to still barely make a livable wage. When you do the hard math, I’m still making less than $20 an hr, it’s the passion not the the $$ driving this train!!!! - I have (4) pets of my own, whom I have raised since each were a kitten or pup; 17 yr old Cheetoh kitty named Thisbe (Queen Bee of the house!), 10 yr old Siberian Husky named Sibyl (adventurer/free spirit woman of the house), 3 year old Basset named Boone (best ‘Bass Hole’ round!), & 11 mo. old Great Bernard named Wynnefred (lil big baby girl!). - I am an outdoor enthusiast, and, yep, you guessed it, my dogs & cat are my adventure partners! Whether it's hiking, camping, backpacking, packrafting, running, walking, snowboarding, we do it all as family & are very active. - There are no bad pets, just bad owners. I know, hold it against me, if you would like! - If there are any additional questions or information you would like to know about me, inquire within . . . Pets are the life and soul in about everything I do! I have goals to start several businesses re pet care and/or pet related. All animals welcome! I have a dog run and dog friendly house with (4) friends to keep your fur baby(ies) company! I am flexible in my schedule and can work with all breeds’ needs.
