“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Linda and Bobby were great dog sitters. This was a first for us and our dogs. Linda and Bobby kept us updated and sent pictures of our pups daily- which we really appreciated. I would definitely have them watch our doggles again! Thank you 😊”
“This was Ziggys first time staying with Nadine and he was so excited and ran up the stairs to her front door. He must have remembered Nadine and her fur babies from our meet and greet. Ziggy seemed so happy after his weekend with Nadine. Her backyard is amazing. We’ll definitely book again!”
“Great Experience! My pup immediately felt comfortable at Kris' place. We got adorable pics and updates. Most reassuring is my pup came home calm and clean. That says alot about the environment he was in. He felt like part of Kris' family. Thanks 😊”
“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 :)”
“Jean was phenomenal! ❤️ I finally took a little time for myself and went out of town, and she gave me such peace of mind by sending updates and pictures of my very loved dog Luna. My Luna isn’t used to being without me and definitely gave Jean a little hassle 😂, but Jean was so patient, caring, and wonderful with her. I truly can’t say enough great things about Jean❤️❤️I would absolutely trust her with any of my fur babies again! 🐾❤️.”
“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!!”
“Noemi is awesome! She watched my super shy rat terrier buddy for two nights and was absolutely wonderful. She was so thoughtful with him, and it was clear she really cared about making him feel safe and comfortable. She kept me updated, was very reliable, and gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I came home to a happy, well cared for pup and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!”
“Paul and Arnel do a great job of caring for our pooch. They give her not just feeding, treats, and walks but clearly -- from great photos sent daily -- lots of affection and curled-up comfort. As repeat customers, it's a real comfort for *us* knowing we can leave her in such good hands.”
“James was beyond great with my 16-year old dachshund. She was happy and comfortable, and at ease, which is a big change for her! They provided me plenty of updates and I could tell she was in great hands. Thanks James (and Toby)!”
“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.”

“Robyn is lovely and my picky, scaredy-cats took really well to her right off the bat which is unusual for them. I would definitely recommend and work with Robyn again. Thank you, Robyn!”
About: I personally don’t own cats because I am allergic to them, but I have plenty of experience cat sitting for neighbors/ friends. I took care of cats at my neighbors house pretty often, feeding wet / dry food, changing litter.
“Brittany continues to amaze our whole family with her excellent communication, compassion, flexibility, and care for Frodo and our home!! She helps Frodo feel relaxed and nurtured with love and kindness, which then makes our family and neighbors feel at ease when she’s around.”
About: I've owned cats since I was a toddler. I grew up with them, my best friend being the sweetest manx cat named Pippy. Ive owned cats my whole life- now having a tuxedo shorthair named Lucky. I absolutely adore cats as much as I do dogs. I am a cat lady, and not ashamed to admit it. I've made friends with strays, temperamental, and shy cats. I am patient and loving. I understand cats body language well. I have a full range of cat care, from kittens to seniors. I will always treat your cat as if it is my own, spoiled, well cared for and loved.
“Tori is the absolute best! This was my first time entrusting my pets with someone I didn’t already know, and she knocked it out of the park. Looking forward to future visits!!”
“As always, Emily has been key to our ability to take trips and know our kitty is safe and sound. Lots of pictures, frequent updates, and happy fur-parents all around. Thanks again!”
“Tiana took great care of my cat while I was away. Even though I didn’t have cell service, I knew I didn’t need to worry. She’s highly professional and I would highly recommend her!”
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.
“Anika came by for the meet and greet and was exactly on time! She is very friendly and personable. She took care of our two cats while we were gone (although she didn't see much of Zipper because he's shy). She sent pictures each day of playing with Pixie. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Michelle did such a great job watching our older cat and taking care of plants. She's very communicative and responsive, will definitely be using her services in the future. Thank you Michelle!”
“Lynden was wonderful to work with -- very caring and compassionate -- and it was such a relief knowing she was making daily visits while we were gone.”
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!
“I’ve had Michelle drop in for visits with my cats during a couple trips now that I was out of town. I think she’s done a great job making sure both me and my pets are comfortable with the arrangement. She spends lots of time interacting with and getting to know them, making sure they’re all set every day. And she sends lots of pictures with updates about how their visit went which always makes me feel good. Will definitely continue having Michelle take over when I’m out of town in the future!”
“Reagan is a true gem! Very communicative, responsive and willing to go out of her way to make sure our animals are well taken care of. We have a dog sit with her next month for a week and couldn’t feel more at ease with it. We’re so glad we found her and highly recommend if you’re looking for a caring pet sitter!”
“Elena is great and has been taking care of my boys for a very long time. Castle and yuma are big boys with special needs as one is extremely reactive and the other deaf and she handles them both perfectly. She is always on time and my boys love her. Only walker I prefer to use.”

“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?”
“Cassie was great and took great care of my 75 lb Labrador retriever. We received photos and videos of our dog having a great time! Cassie was very communicative and kept us informed at all times!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“First puppy daycare adventure for Dustin and it went so well! Hannah and family are wonderful communicators. Easy to find, easy directions, easy drop off/pickup and photos/videos throughout the stay. He is wiped in the best way, obviously had a wonderful time playing. Will be using them again! Thank you!”
“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!”
“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”
“Kristopher he was wonderful. Juniper was happy and tired; she slept all night, snoring from all the playtime. Juniper really like Kristoper and wsa happy well cared for thank you .”

“Sage is always well taken care of here and absolutely loves it. He comes to say hi to me when I pick him for 2 seconds and then immediately turns around and literally tries to jump into their arms because he loves them so much and wants to stay longer, which is rare for my Australian shepherd 🐾 He has also been better around and meeting strangers lately! Best day care around 🥰”
“Probably my favorite sitters ever. They were all so attentive Ghost and his behaviors and even while he developed a light allergy in his ears while I was still away, they offered to help clean them until I got back. Each day I felt safe and secure knowing he was going to be well taken care of along with getting all the snuggles and play time.”
“Seth was super responsive, communicative and professional. While we struggled to find a Rover receptive to caring for our dog that doesn't play well with others, they quickly read the description for our dog and without preempting, let us know the accomodations they would take to ensure our dog had a stress free stay. They obviously knew how to take care of dogs well, including rather particular pups like mine. We were so grateful for Seth and felt very comfortable leaving our dog in his care. Next time we are in the area and need pet care, we will definitely go to them 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.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover, having cats growing up and later volunteering with dogs at rescue orgs. My time as a training class assistant for Puppy Manners and New Dog Basics at the San Francisco SPCA gave me valuable skills in positive reinforcement training, socialization, and handling dogs of all temperaments. Beyond dogs and cats, I also have experience with horses, having owned and leased several. I’m comfortable with feeding, turnout, mucking stalls, brushing, and general equine care, making me a well-rounded caregiver for multi-pet households. What sets me apart is my ability to care for pets at all life stages—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior pets needing extra patience and comfort. Whether it’s structured walks, reinforcing good manners, or providing a calm and loving presence, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. With a deep understanding of pet behavior across species and a passion for ensuring their happiness and well-being, I go beyond basic care to provide engaging, enriching, and compassionate pet companionship. After our Husky mix’s TPLO surgery in Fall 2024, I’ve decided to make pet care my main focus. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and this shift allows me to dedicate my time and energy to providing top-quality care for pets in my community. With a flexible schedule, I’m available for daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and customized care based on each pet’s needs. Whether it’s a midday walk, feeding and playtime, or extra TLC for pets recovering from surgery, I tailor my services to fit both routine and special care requirements. My experience with dogs, cats, and even horses means I’m comfortable handling a variety of schedules—from structured training sessions to free-spirited outdoor adventures. No matter the time of day, I ensure pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or my clients’ homes. At my home, we have a fully fenced yard, providing a secure and spacious area for dogs to play and explore. Your pup will also have built-in companionship with our two friendly dogs, ensuring plenty of socialization and fun. For exercise and enrichment, we have scenic trails nearby, perfect for peaceful walks in the woods—giving dogs a chance to sniff, explore, and enjoy the great outdoors. In my clients’ homes, I respect each pet’s unique routine and environment, providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. Whether it’s reinforcing training, maintaining feeding schedules, or ensuring a calm presence while you're away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. No matter the setting, I focus on creating a safe, stress-free, and enriching experience for pets—so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands.
About: I have grown up with pets and even found my first job working at an animal boarding house. You could say I learned to become a professional dog walker at a young age. I have two high anxiety dogs and have been working on their social skills and coping methods to help their anxiety. I work full-time from home but take frequent breaks to let the dogs go out and play and take multiple walks a day to give them exercise. Weekends are mostly free to cuddle and to play with the fur babies. When house sitting or boarding pets I stay close so they be taken care of as needed. I keep my own pets on a schedule feeding, potty breaks and play with puzzles to earn treats. I will follow clients care guidelines to maintain consistency and keep them comfortable while their owners are gone.

“Ashley is wonderful! We’ve hired her to walk our two small pups midday M-F on a long term basis and we’re SO happy that we found her. She’s very communicative, kind, thoughtful and so very loving to our pups.

Thank you Ashley!!”
“Oh wow!!! This is awesome. Sometimes my other walker cannot come. Wednesdays is her day off. I am hoping you can do us from now on , Wednesdays and emergencies. I am so happy with your help. ?”
About: I am passionate about providing compassionate, high quality care for every animal I meet. Whether a pet is in my care or simply nearby, I naturally pay attention to their body language, personality, and individual needs. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet, and I have a habit of spoiling them with plenty of love, attention, and positive experiences, while also noticing and respecting when a pet prefers to be left alone and simply kept to their routine. Along with providing excellent care, I value reliability and trust. I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone who will treat them like family, and that’s exactly what I strive to do. Spending time with animals is both calming and fulfilling for me, whether we’re relaxing at home, going for walks, playing, training, or exploring new places together. I have fostered multiple animals, helping with socialization, basic training, and building confidence through patience and positive reinforcement. I also have professional experience as a veterinary assistant, so I’m comfortable administering medications, caring for senior or special needs pets, monitoring for health concerns, and handling additional care such as post operative care, bandage or diaper changes. My experience extends to caring for all kinds of animals, including birds, fish and fish tanks, lizards, rabbits, cattle, and chickens. I genuinely enjoy learning how to care for different types of animals and am dedicated to giving each one the care they need. At the same time, I’ll always be upfront if a type of care is outside my experience level, so you have the opportunity to find the most appropriate care for your pet. My goal is simple: to provide your pets with a safe, enriching, and loving experience while giving you peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and earn your trust by giving them the kind of care they deserve. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! My current work schedule is with a warehouse, that being said I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a lot more pets and schedules than I expected. Please don’t hesitate to reach out same day if needed, I’ll always do my best to accept all compatible client and pet requests!! I live on a farm that is fully fenced around the entire property, there is an option to have your pet(s) meet some other pets on the property and play during the day, but I also am fully prepped for keeping the dogs separate from each other for any reason if needed. When staying at your home I am respectful of privacy and rules. I will NEVER have anyone other than myself inside your home or on the property, and I will clean up after myself as well as have the home clean when you get back. I do allow dogs on furniture at my home but will not allow it if needed.
“We had always boarded our dogs in a kennel before so this was our first time leaving them in the house for a quick weekend trip with drop in visits and walks. We came home to happy, well taken care of dogs. Tori did a great job taking care of our cat and now we’ll use her as our go-to sitter for our dogs.”
“Princess was super awesome. My little Lexi is a very shy dog to people upfront but for some reason Lexi went differently to Princess and greeted her. She took a lot of pictures and spent the full 30 minutes walking Lexi. She made me feel at ease and made sure Lexi was safe. I 100% recommend Princess.”
About: My name is Faulkner, my partner Meredith and I do not currently have a dog but we love spending time with dogs! We would love to look after your furry friend! I have had a lot of experience caring for dogs. I grew up taking care of dogs. I worked at the Morris Animal Inn in NJ, where I walked dogs being boarded. I have experience caring for animals who need medication. As well as experience taking animals on emergency hospital visits. Every dog has unique needs. I approach each dog to match their needs. I work well with both high and low energy dogs. I am capable of providing exercise for athletic dogs. Thank you for considering me. I look forward to meeting you and your dog!

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats and even birds/reptiles of both friends and family before. I use to work in the pet field and have a love of all animals. Ive owned animals of many kinds. I did also train for a short time as both a dog and cat groomer. I have owned and cared for special needs, senior and young animals too. I also have some experience with administering medicines to both cats and dogs. I am currently working part time as a security officer and don't have a set schedule so i have alot of free time to spend with your pups or kits. I can offer several hours a day of enrichment and am willing to travel to please your puppies or kitties. I love outdoor adventures or just sitting at home one the couch cuddling if that what you and your pets prefer. I will care for your dogs in your home as you would like.

“Tiana and Amir are caring and dependable. My dog warmed up to them immediately and he always looks so happy in the photos they send. I highly recommend their services.”
About: I have loved animals since I was a child. In my life I have owned four dogs and three hamsters. Pets are not just pets to me but family. Any animal with me, I treat as if they’re my own fur baby. You’ll never have to worry about who is taking care of your pet because I take great pride in my work and have a lot of respect for you and your pet. I spent a few years working with my own pets, teaching them tricks, training, and keeping them active, and moved on to working with animals professionally for the past six years. I want your dog to have fun when they’re with me! Life is too short to not have a little fun. I hope to bring that fun into your pet’s life while you’re away! I’m currently working part time with Rover as a dog walker & pet sitter. I am available Weds-Sat from 6am-7pm to provide fun & safe enrichment for your pup! I live in a townhouse within a fenced community, with one small and very friendly dog. I do not have a yard, but have plenty of space to take pups out to potty and lots to sniff. My home is spacious and I have many blankets, toys, treats, and more. I have also installed baby gates to ensure it’s a fun and safe environment for all.
About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I can remember I love and care about all animals and would treat yours like my own! I'm a stay at home mom at the moment so I'm just looking for extra money to make so I can go out and do more things with my kids! I can definitely help leash train if that's something you would need or train in any other way I've trained every animal I've had so it's pretty easy for me!
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and respect I have for animals. I don't see pet care as just a job—I see it as caring for a member of your family. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to get to know them so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. I believe in patience, kindness, and clear communication, and I'll always treat your pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I'm happy to provide the care that's right for them. I'm also comfortable administering medications as directed, refreshing food and water, and helping maintain your pet's normal routine. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care and give you peace of mind while you're away. I'm a mom of three and work part-time in the medical field. My schedule allows me to provide dependable pet care while balancing my family and work responsibilities. On the days I work, I'm typically available after the afternoon/evening. On my days off, I have much more flexibility and am generally available throughout the day. I'm also available on weekends! If you have specific scheduling needs, feel free to reach out. I'll do my best to accommodate you and your pet's routine. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. They'll receive plenty of love, attention, and cuddles—if that's what they enjoy! I respect every pet's unique personality, boundaries, and routine, and I'll always care for them in the way that's best for them. For everyone's safety, dogs will always remain on a leash during walks unless we're in a secure, enclosed area with your permission. I'll treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own, so you can feel confident they're in good hands while you're away.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep commitment to treating every pet like family and my well-rounded experience with dogs at every life stage and temperament. I have hands-on experience training puppies, helping them build positive habits through structure, patience, and consistency. I’ve also worked with dogs who’ve shown previous aggression or reactivity and know how to create a calm, controlled environment that supports behavior management and trust-building. In addition, I’ve cared for senior dogs post-surgery, including those needing extra support with mobility, comfort, and detailed medication schedules. I’m confident managing complex care routines and always prioritize the pet’s well-being, safety, and emotional needs. Whether your dog is energetic, anxious, aging, or needs a little extra help, I adapt my care to meet them where they are. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely love building a bond with every pet I care for. You can trust that your dog will be in thoughtful, experienced, and loving hands while you’re away. With a background in pharmacy and medication management, I bring a high level of attention, care, and reliability to every cat or dog I look after. I have a senior black lab of my own, so I truly understand the importance of routine, patience, and gentle companionship—especially for aging pets or those with special medical needs. My schedule is mostly available evenings and weekends as I do work a full-time job. Whether your pet needs quiet companionship, playtime, walks, or help with medications, I tailor my approach to their unique personality and needs. I’m experienced with a wide range of pet temperaments, from affectionate lap cats to active dogs or more independent animals, and I always prioritize their comfort and well-being. With me, your cat or dog will be in calm, capable hands—and you’ll get regular updates so you can relax knowing they’re safe, loved, and cared for just like family For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on making each visit calm, positive, and tailored to your pet’s needs. During drop-ins, I follow your care instructions closely—whether that includes feeding, fresh water, medications, litter box scooping, or just giving your pet some love and attention. I take time to make sure your cat or dog feels safe, seen, and cared for before I leave. For walks, I make sure your dog gets exercise and mental stimulation while staying safe and comfortable. I’m happy to adjust the pace and route based on their energy level, age, or mobility. I always prioritize leash safety, weather-appropriate care, and positive interactions. For overnight stays, I always leave each home in its original condition. I recognize I’m a guest in someone’s sacred space and I treat it as such. I am considerate of other’s homes and do what I can to ensure animals feel safe and comfortable with me in their space. I always appreciate detailed care instructions for overnight stays but I do listen, ask lots of questions at meet and greets, and take detailed notes of my own so I don’t forget anything. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and communicative. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands!

Walks at parks and in nature or around the neighborhood are a regular part of our day. We are retired and spend a lot of our time traveling in Southern California and Mexico. We provide a safe calm environment in your home and keep your pets' normal routines. We will be bringing our dog with us and she is well adjusted to changing environments and meeting new animal friends. Housesitting is part of our travel strategy and we have received many positive reviews over the past few years. I also have done some dog training and animals are comfortable around us. We are retired and take several walks a day. Our schedule is very flexible. We like to be able to take your dogs in the car for walking adventures if they are comfortable with that. We give your pets lots of snuggles. We aim to follow and maintain the normal, expected routines of the pets we care for. We give them lots of attention and send pics to their owners.

“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!”
“Linda and Bobby were great dog sitters. This was a first for us and our dogs. Linda and Bobby kept us updated and sent pictures of our pups daily- which we really appreciated. I would definitely have them watch our doggles again! Thank you 😊”
“Great Experience! My pup immediately felt comfortable at Kris' place. We got adorable pics and updates. Most reassuring is my pup came home calm and clean. That says alot about the environment he was in. He felt like part of Kris' family. Thanks 😊”
“Jean was phenomenal! ❤️ I finally took a little time for myself and went out of town, and she gave me such peace of mind by sending updates and pictures of my very loved dog Luna. My Luna isn’t used to being without me and definitely gave Jean a little hassle 😂, but Jean was so patient, caring, and wonderful with her. I truly can’t say enough great things about Jean❤️❤️I would absolutely trust her with any of my fur babies again! 🐾❤️.”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Seth and his wife, are very great people. I came across a problem during my trip to Oregon with my pets needing to be taken care of last minute and they were able to take all our 3 dogs. They took them for walks and they also had cages for them. They also have a big backyard where they can roam freely and it was fully fenced, which was such a relief. They sent pictures throughout the time they had them and answered us quick when we would massage them. I would definitely recommend them and would book them again!”
“I had to leave my cat for a week while traveling for work and she did great. Leah & Chris are amazing and the cat room that they have set-up made Ellee feel at home. Thanks so much for taking such good care of Ellee, Leah & Chris!!”
“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.”
“My husband and I would highly recommend Stan to care for your fur baby! I admit I am a helicopter dog parent! I immediately felt at ease when meeting Stan and viewing his pet friendly home! He has put so much thought into creating a dog friendly yard for the pups to play and relax. It was obvious he has a love of animals and a vast amount of experience! He will be our go to person for our big fur baby! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟”
“Leslie treated our senior dog as if she were hers. She provided periodic updates and went the extra mile when our dog Callie had an additional need. We highly recommend Leslie and now Callie has a new BFF in Leslie’s Lab Lilly!”
“Liz does such a great job with our dog and always responds in a timely manner. He loves hanging out with all his friends while he's there and we love getting updates about how it's going while we're gone. Will definitely book again and recommend her highly. Thanks Liz!”
