“Jennifer was great! Super easy to set up a meet and greet with and coordinate drop off and pick up. She sent cute updates and I could tell she took great care of Gus. She took him on lots of walks. Her dalmatian was also super sweet with Gus. I would definitely rebook with Jennifer!”
“Wrigley and Smash had a great week at Sandy's! We received photo updates throughout the week and the boys always looked happy and relaxed. They love Sandy and we love knowing that they are being so well cared for!”
“This was Reggie’s first time staying with Kris. It’s was pretty hot those 3 days and 2 nights but luckily Kris’ air conditioned home kept out hound cool and they played in the doggy pool to cool off during the day. We appreciated the photos and updates Kris provided. We would definitely recommend Kris.”
“Barbara is a great awesome caregiver for my Maggie. She kept us updated every day and it seemed like Maggie probably didn’t wanna come home cause barber shows a lot of love towards animals. I would recommend her highly.”
“Noemi and her family were a perfect fit. They were thoughtful, caring and I'm pretty sure our Ella would have moved in. Ella came back happy, healthy and I could tell she had a great time. Will book again next time. Thanks Noemi (and fam)!”
“Vanessa took great care of our elderly pup! She came back very relaxed and rested which is just the way she likes it. Very responsive and great communication, will definitely use her again when we need someone to watch her!”
“Ron did a wonderful job caring for our dog, Henry, and was great about administering the special eye medication our guy requires. This was the second time we’ve left Henry with Ron and both times he seemed happy and comfortable there. There’s a big back yard to sniff around in and a comfy couch for lounging. Ron’s calm demeanor really made Henry feel at home, and Henry came home happy and in great shape. We will definitely contact Ron for any future dog sitting needs!”
“As first time Rover users, we feel so fortunate to have found Nad in taking great care of our senior cat, Chase & Corgi dog, Koji. She had kept us posted with daily pics and feedback of our fur babies which really helped put us at ease while we were away. It can be such a challenge when leaving an old cat and a younger dog to the care of someone new, thankfully Nad was able to fulfill the duty and made the boarding experience both peaceful and fun for my pets. We will definitely be back for Nad's service in the future the next time we plan a trip away from home.”
“Keelan and Sabrina took great care of our dog, Bingo. It was Bingo’s first boarding experience, so we were a little nervous, but they helped to ease our worry by doing a meet and greet first and then providing daily communication with updates and photos while we were gone. Bingo had a blast playing with Minty and Loki. We would definitely book with Keelan again!”
“From our first meet and greet to the last day pick up, Shari was extremely communicative and flexible. My dog was with Shari for 5 days and I very much appreciated the many pictures and updates she sent; it was obvious that Rudy was living the good life and getting plenty of lap time! Shari is genuinely caring and wants the best for her "clients"! I recommend Shari for your dog's care needs and will ask her to look after Rudy in the future.”
“Marybeth and family took good care of our dog Toby for a week. I believe Toby had as good a vacation as we did! He got to play with Zoey and keep an eye on the cats. He spent time relaxing on the back deck watching the chickens. Working out the details with Marybeth was easy and she's quick to respond. She's obviously good with animals.”
“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.”
“So caring and understanding with Luci's anxiety. Seems they had a ton of fun and she made a couple awesome friends. 5/5 will book Jamie again!”
“Linda was an excellent sitter for our sometimes challenging dog. She kept him happy and entertained throughout the whole 5-day stay, including regular walks as well as visits to local off-leash areas and Sniffspots. She was also great with communication and sending photo and video updates. Eneldo already misses her and can't wait until we leave town again! We highly recommend Linda.”
“Evita was AMAZING! I would 10/10 recommend her to watch your fur baby. She sent us lots of picture updates while we were on vacay which was so sweet :’) And I could tell our little guy was well taken care of. Thanks again!”
“Tammy was ideal as a caregiver for our elderly cockapoo. She provided reassurance with her communication and we were confident that our dog was receiving loving attention at all times. Thank you Tammy for being so wonderful with Milo!”
About: I have a decade of experience taking care of small to medium dogs. Have a lot of experience with senior animals and animals with disabilities and know how to handle and distribute medications if needed. I am currently on summer break from work as I am a Special Edcation paraeducator. I am somewhat of a homebody who loves to spend her time reading and taking walks outside. I tend to go to bed fairly early at night so that I'm up early to take care of my own fur baby. This tends to be the same when school is in session as well. As stated before I have a fur baby of my own. A cat named Phoebe who loves people and getting to know other animals. I love spending time with the animals I take care of whether its walk or play time. Bonding is very important to me. I want your fur babies to feel as safe and comfy as possible when they're with me. There's also nice parks nearby where I live so I can take them to play anytime the weather is nice.
“Serena was so sweet with Chewy and sent photos of him and Nugget on there walks and playing together. Great communication and responsiveness! We would definitely book again with Serena!”

“Miranda took great care of my kitties! She was attentive to their needs and showed them genuine care. And I got cute pictures! Would definitely recommend her to anyone for their pet watching needs.”
“Gretchen was awesome and super communicative! Felt really comfortable leaving Tony with his new pal — would definitely have Gretchen come back and sit for Tony again.”
“Carmen was wonderful and very communicative. She took great care of Pugsley and left my apartment cleaner than when I left it. I’d 100% book with her again!”
“Hannah was absolutely fantastic! She was peace of mind for my kitties while i was away from home, and sent some really fantastic pics/videos of my babies. They were well taken care of. Will absolutely use Hannah again for when i am out of town!!”
“They really went above and beyond! We never leave our boys alone for very long and I was a little nervous, especially with two crazy kittens and one elderly cat that's had health issues in the past and is very scared of new people. They went above and beyond my expectations! They were so wonderful i got the cutest photos and sweetest updates from them, and was really able to enjoy my holidays knowing that my boys were in good hands! And after our plane was delayed they went above and beyond and checked on the boys last minute. I'm so happy to have found them and can't recommend them enough!”
“Archie checked in on my cat Waffle while I was away on a trip, and they did a great job. My cat is very playful and friendly, so I was glad to have someone spend time with her so she wouldn't be lonely. Archie was very nice and sent me lots of photos as well. He came out and did a pet visit beforehand which made me feel at ease about leaving her while I was gone.”
“Raven was a great choice for our cat sitting needs! She is friendly and kind, prompt with messaging and sent photos while we were away – exactly what we were hoping for in a sitter.”
“Susan did such a great job watching our cats! She was a good communicator from our initial contact through the entire time we were gone - quick to respond, thorough, and friendly. She always made time for play and took fun photos. I felt very reassured knowing that she was caring for them. I would highly recommend her!”
“This is the second time I've asked Lucinda to watch my three fur babies. I'm impressed with the quality of care and Lucinda's commitment and communication style. I would highly recommend her. I look forward to working with her again.”
“Alexander treated our 3 Maine coons like his own fur babies. And he took equally excellent care of some home chores we asked him to do (such as putting out the garbage cans). We have already booked him again!”
“I’ve used Karly now three times as my cat-sitter while away to take care of my two cats, and just recently, for two weeks while out of the country. She’s great!! She makes sure my two babies are well taken care of - she’s gotten to know both of their personalities and tends to both of their needs (one’s playfulness and the other’s snuggles/pets)! She goes above and beyond and also considers me and the house while gone out of the country (by taking out the trash on trash day for example). She’s also a great communicator and I feel at ease trusting her to take care of both my cats and my home while away!”
“Evita was a fantastic sitter to my two cats and two chinchillas! My usually shy, tortitude cat opened up to her at lightning speed starting at the meet and greet and thereafter. She was able to bring out the best of my cats while they were feeling uncomfortable and scared from the temporary change. I could tell that the cats missed Evita when we came home, because they both kept searching and meowing around the front door to see if she'd come back! Also, our chinchillas usually get mad and ignore my husband and I when we leave for vacation for a few days, but Evita gave them so much attention and care that they were acting normal and greeted us with squeaks and sniffs! Evita took many pictures, left descriptive messages about what happened and how they were each day, and paid close attention to their behaviors/personalities to keep them happy. She even went above and beyond to keep the chinchilla area tidy from their hay and flying poops outside their cage. Aside from how great she did, Evita is a warm/friendly yet professional sitter and meeting her was absolutely delightful! She was punctual, attentive, a great listener, and thorough. You can tell she knows what she's doing from the start and genuinely loves animals. Your pets are in the best hands if you book with her, and I would recommend her to anyone! Overall, I couldn't be happier with the visits! Thank you so much again!”
“Paisley does a fantastic job watching our two cats! She provides updates, great pictures and while we are gone it always brightens our day to see what Paisley sent us. It's clear she is great with cats!”
“Tayla was amazing! She left detailed notes after each visit with tons of pictures. She was flexible, communicative, and quick to respond to any questions/concerns. My cat can be timid around strangers at times but went up to Tayla immediately. I’d be happy to book her again :)”
“Minda was exactly who we needed to house sit our recently adopted 1yo kitty. She knew exactly how to take care of her, even how to deal with a couple kitty shenanigans that took place. Her communication went above and beyond and was very clear. She left our house in great condition, as if no one was ever there. We were very grateful to have her watching our Misha while we were out of town. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Emma is the best sitter! Not only did she take great care of my cat, but she also kept me updated on her health issues and how she was doing afterward. I often worry about my cat during trips and have trouble enjoying myself, but this time I was able to relax and have fun. I definitely want to ask her to take care of my cat again”
About: In 2023, I was inspired to start volunteering at the Oregon Humane Society a few months after my dog Sully passed away. I am a dog walker and kennel buddy at OHS. I also take the high energy dogs out to the chip yards to get more play time outdoors at the shelter. I also have some experience taking care of my friends’ cats. They may have different needs as dogs, however, all animals deserve just as much love! I hope to meet and take care of your pets as I do see them as family! :) I am currently available after 2:30pm on the days that I work part-time and I am flexible on my days off. I am also happy to take care of your pets during the holidays or when you go on vacation! Although I am unable to board your pets, I can assure you that I have respect for other people’s living spaces. I have several Airbnb reviews that have proven my cleanliness and trust in hosts’ homes.
About: I was born into a family of German Shepherd lovers, and grew up primarily taking care of our German Shepherds until about 10 years old when we also adopted cats and labradors. Once I graduated college, I adopted an 8 week old Alaskan malamute, who I cared for his entire 11 years of life until he passed just recently this past January. I am not ready to adopt again, but am missing the presence of dogs in my life and looking to fill that space by helping friends, family, neighbors and members of the community with their dog care needs. I am experienced with puppies, high maintenance animals, and especially with large breeds (my boy was 150lbs at a healthy weight and required at least 5 miles of exercise a day). I am kind, caring, uniquely experienced, energetic and reliable. I currently am taking a break from my career as an executive assistant. I am extremely active during the week, and have plenty of free time in general. I am respectful to how you’d like your dog to be taken care of in your home and out and about, and also have my own set of everything (leashes, crate, toys, beds, etc) if need be. No matter what the need, I am able to discuss, negotiate and accommodate.
“Sydney was fabulous! She was very flexible and my dog really enjoyed her company. I had a medical emergency and she jumped right in to help with my pup which I greatly appreciated.”

“Allen was very responsive from the time I booked a meet & greet to when he took care of my dog, Kau Kau. He also was very patient with her since she does have some separation anxiety and I appreciated that very much. I definitely would recommend Allen as a doggy daycare option. Thanks.”
“Tommy was great with Lennox! It didn't take long for the two to like each other :) I had a great experience with scheduling, availability, and updates throughout the day. You can tell that Tommy has lots of experience with all kinds of dogs and can quickly adjust to whatever your dog needs. He took Lennox on his walks what our little Aussie enjoyed a lot. We will be back for sure :)”
“Catherine has been amazing with our little one and we couldn’t be happier with the services she provides. She’s quick to respond and provides updates throughout the day. We have used her for doggie daycare that has been both short (3h) and long (13h) and have already booked future stays with her.”
“In my first time connecting with Damon, he made me feel like we have been working together for a while now. He provided great feedback, photos and made me feel very comfortable on switching sitters. I would recommend Damon to anyone.”
About: My Dalmatian bestie and I are looking for small furry friends to spend a few days with us here and there. I am a full-time pet parent to a high energy dog who makes caring for him the best part of every day. We both love cats and small dogs and have been caring for others together for some time now. Let's set up a meet and greet to see if our furry friends hit it off! I work full time from home with my Dalmatian! We walk 3-4 times a day and could easily fit another small dog into our routine. Whether your pet loves to play or prefers to sit quietly undisturbed, my dog will respect their boundaries. My home has lots of space for play, cozy places to sit, large windows to look out of, and a patio to sunbathe. We keep things clean and put away so there is very little trouble to get into. I routinely take my dog for walks throughout the day and have plenty of control to add another to the mix.
About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember and even have my own fur baby of my own. We love animals and making new friends! I am currently working a remote flex job so I am able to choose my hours and prioritize pet care to ensure I’m able to give your pet what they need! I have my own dog, and we usually go out for walks around my neighborhood and visit the PSU campus and park blocks to allow my pup to be in more greenery! I also have a grass block that is right next door to my apartment so I am easily able to take the pets potty!
“Serena is great! I love that whenever I leave Theo in her care, I know he’s going to get nice and tired playing with Nugget, and I appreciate the updates I get throughout the day. 10/10 definitely recommend and we will keep coming to Serena!”
“Penn was so happy so see Evita. He was making happy crying sounds when we approached Evita. Evita sent a regular update on Penn’s status and the cutest picture of him and NuNu.”
“Sequoia took great care of my 1 year old Great Pyrenees puppy, providing good communication. My pup came home happy and tired from playing with her canine pals. Will book again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was young around the neighborhood and for family members. I have stayed overnight for dog owners and spent weeks caring for their pups. I’m a dog lover, and I find ways to keep them busy, such as playing with them and taking them on walks. I’m a college student, so I have plenty of time to care for your pups! I can provide overnight care and make a few daily visits to check up on them. I’m familiar with dog sitting in other homes, and I will keep your home clean and respectful. I’m great at communicating and love to send photos of your pups while your gone to keep you connected with them!
“Emily is the best! She took great care of my fur baby with updates and was even super patient with the nervous barking she does when meeting someone new. I really recommend her for great care, where you know there won’t be any worries. My dachshund usually doesn’t eat dinner when meeting someone new or walk well on a leash but she ate her dinner and was walking happily & even napped.”
“Danielle was great with Mango and she sent regular updates throughout the day. She made sure Mango felt comfortable throughout her stay. She was also very good a communicating when planning drop off and pick up times. Highly recommend Danielle.”
“Chris has been amazing with my dog Bailey! Sends great updates and Bailey is SO excited to see him and go on long walks. Definitely will be using Chris again!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Currently, I live with two of my own pets—a friendly and social labradoodle named Café and a sweet, independent black cat. Through caring for them, I’ve developed a strong routine that includes natural feeding, regular grooming, daily dental care, and lots of physical and mental stimulation. I walk Kafae several times a day, and we enjoy outdoor adventures like hikes, beach trips, and visits to local parks and dog-friendly spaces like Sandy River Delta. I cook his meals using natural, whole ingredients and keep up with monthly grooming, as well as daily ear and teeth cleaning. Beyond my own pets, I’ve provided pet care for friends, family, and neighbors—offering everything from overnight stays to drop-in visits and daily walks. I’m confident managing different temperaments, administering medication (oral/topical), and adjusting to special dietary or behavioral needs. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and respect I give my own. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal—and I don’t take that lightly. My goal is always to make both you and your pet feel safe, understood, and cared for. Tips are much appreciated. I donate 10% of my income from each stay to support animals at the Oregon Humane Society. Pet care is a natural and essential part of my everyday life. I care for my own labradoodle, Café, and black cat every single day, so my routine is already built around providing consistent, loving, and attentive care. Each day includes multiple walks, feeding nutritious meals (I cook Café’s food using whole, natural ingredients), daily grooming habits like teeth and ear cleaning, and plenty of playtime and affection. I also make time for regular outings—whether it’s the beach, the Sunday River Delta, hiking trails, or the dog park—so staying active and keeping pets engaged is part of my lifestyle, not an add-on. When I’m caring for other pets, I simply fold them into this rhythm and adapt to their needs and preferences. I enjoy the structure and joy pets bring into my day, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to ensure each pet gets the attention, care, and love they deserve. When caring for pets in my home, I treat them like part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment with plenty of attention and structure. Pets stay in a calm, pet-friendly space with my own friendly labradoodle, Café, and a quiet, respectful black cat. I follow each pet’s specific feeding, exercise, and medication schedule, and I include them in our daily routine—morning and evening walks, playtime, naps, and enrichment activities like fetch, hikes, or beach trips. I also provide daily updates and photos for peace of mind. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to maintain their regular routine as closely as possible. I respect your space, keep it clean, and make sure your pet feels safe and secure in their familiar environment. I’m attentive to details—feeding, walking, administering medications, and making sure they get plenty of love and companionship. I keep communication open with daily updates, and I’m happy to handle extras like mail, light tidying, or plant care if needed. Whether your pet stays with me or I come to you, I bring patience, consistency, and genuine care to every visit.

“Susan was professional and kind to my dog. She asked the right questions and my pup was happy after she met her and her walk. I also love the pictures she took today.”
“Alexander came for a first solo walk with our 65 lb dog-reactive girl, and reported that everything went well! We were sent a lot of great pictures. At the meet-and-greet, Alexander really listened and absorbed all the mitigation strategies that we have for the leash reactivity (even taking notes!). Thank you, Alexander!”
About: Having grown up on a 20 acre farm for most of my life, I have cared for all shapes and sizes of animals - from horses to snakes, and everything in between! When I moved into an apartment for college, I missed the "dog energy" in our household and set to volunteering hundreds of hours at the Humane Society, which also included basic training skills and walking the most aggressive 100+lb leash pullers. This later evolved into working at a veterinary clinic where I was trained to monitor recovering animals and administer medications safely and with as little stress as possible through Fear Free certification. Animal body language is my second language! I love the outdoors as much as the indoors, and am more than happy to accommodate medical needs. ♡ If you would like extras taken care of during your pets stay or our visit, such as bathing, grooming, nail trims, or a run, just let me know! My dog, Leo, and I are constantly going on hikes and we are more than happy to tucker your pups out with a day trip, just reach out for rates. I currently work as a Braille Librarian for the state and used to teach Low Vision/Blind learners, and I am also fluent in American Sign Language (ASL), so I have a soft spot for dogs that may be Deaf, Blind, or DeafBlind. To top it all off, I am working on weaseling my way into Guide Dog puppy raising, and all the training tips that come along with that. ( : I commute to Salem Wednesday and Friday, which means my schedule during those days is usually pretty limited to anything after 430pm. Otherwise, my weekends are typically completely free and ready to be filled with whatever your fur babies need! Using the Fear Free method, I work with a pet's body language to determine what will work best in the current situation, and when methods may be effective versus stressful. I am ready to go at your pet's pace with whatever they may need, and clearly communicate the process along the way.
“Lucinda filled in for 3 days as a dog walker for my furry-faced chihuahua daughter. She showed patience and kindness to a somewhat skittish pup. I felt confident that she would provide the care my pup needed while I worked long days in medicine. I would not hesitate to hire her again or to recommend her.”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs from ages 4 months to 12 years! I like to learn each animals needs and modify my care for them! I work three days a week and keep an open schedule to care for others’ animals the other four days in the week! I have a flexible schedule and can even help on the days I am scheduled at my main job! I always ask for your preferences for your animals! Whether this includes walk length, treats and food, and even mannerisms, I always want to make sure YOU and your animals are comfortable!
“Kai is wonderful and picks up on all my fur babies traits without me even mentioning anything. Which shows me that they are being ever so present with her, and I adore that.”
“This was our first time having Kayley care for Baja and she was amazing! Kayley’s communications and updates were excellent and she went above and beyond on some visits to help with other things. We’ll definitely request her again the next time we need help with dog walking.”
“Lyle is amazing! He is always quick to respond and has come through at the last minute on multiple occasions. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.”
About: I have a 4 year old excitable spaniel of my own who certainly keeps my life exciting! I have always lived with dogs and can’t imagine it any other way. But I also love cats! Nearly all my friends have cats and I have lots of experience pet-sitting for many of them. I love spending time around animals and would love to take care of yours! I have a full-time 8-5 job, but do have flexibility within my week. I wfh at least one day a week - sometimes more. Evenings and weekends are usually super open for me! But feel free to reach out about availability as my schedule fluctuates often. I have a small fenced yard with space for your pup to potty and run. I also have a friendly dog of my own to keep yours company. I have a crate that can be used if your pup likes a place to settle. My furniture is my dogs furniture and it would be the same for your furry friend too! I also have an animal loving roommate - so double the love.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life! I have the most experience with bunnies, dogs, and cats but can make a connection with any pet. I care about keeping your best friend comfortable and at ease while you’re gone! I am most available on weekends and weekday early mornings before 10 am & evenings after 5pm but can offer additional availability Monday & Friday. I provide a calm and welcoming presence for animals of all types. I will make sure to build a relationship with your pet and be respectful of their space as a sitter. I believe the best animal relationships start with autonomy!

About: Over 20 years of hands on pet care under my belt. I've been the go to walker and sitter for friends, family, and neighbors across Portland. From energetic malamutes who love winter hikes in Forest Park, to chill cats who want a lap and a scratch. I've handled them all. I know every pup's quirks, keep treats handy, and always come home with wagging tails and happy updates. Reliability is my thing: on time walks, clean pickups, and no drama. Let's get your furry crew out exploring. I am currently doing this part time and enjoy taking care of animals. I am fairly flexible on when I can be available for pet care. I love animals and treat all pets as if they were own. I can tailor to the owner and their pet to make sure everyone is comfortable.
About: I’ve owned dogs for over 20 years and currently have two corgis, so I’m very experienced with daily care, walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m comfortable with different personalities, basic medications, and making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine as a corgi owner. I plan my days around walks, feeding, and playtime, so adding another pup fits in naturally. I’m consistent, attentive, and make sure every dog gets plenty of care, structure, and love throughout the day. I stick to each dog’s routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. In my home, I provide walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention in a safe space. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely and respect their space while making sure their pet is happy, cared for, and on schedule. 🐶✨
About: I've loved animals ever since I was a small kid. I grew up raising 3 rats, 3 cats, and a Great Pyrenees. I have experience walking neighborhood dogs, as well as taking care of hamsters and cats while their owners were on vacation. I currently have no pets due to my building's rules, so I'd take any excuse to help take care of a fluffy creature. Currently working a reduced amount with most of it being from home, so I have a lot of availability to care for your pets. Free/flexible most hours, besides evening on the weekends(and even then, I could potentially work something out with enough time). I enjoy long walks and exercise, and love playing with animals, so I'm your guy if your dog needs a long walk or an hour of nothing but fetch. I grew up walking a stubborn 100+ lb. dog, so I know how to control them if they get a little too excited sometimes.
“Ashley does an outstanding job walking our dog. She established rapport with Buddy almost immediately, and now he watches the door when it's time for her to arrive each day. He returns happy and excited. Ashley is perfectly reliable and very attentive to the needs of older dogs. There should be more than 5 stars for her caring and great attitude.”
About: I have a dog with seizures and I understand how much care is needed to care for him. I will treat your dog(s) with that same care and significance. I work early morning hours Thursday through Monday. I'm off work by 10:30am and can be available to walk, feed, administer medicatios and do drop in visits 7 days a week. I live in an apartment downtown that has a secured entry. I have a collapsible travel kennel that can hold a small to medium sized dog, I also have a wood kennel that can hold a pet up to 20lbs with plenty of room to spare. My 20lb Boston Terrier fits in it comfortably with enough room to stand up and turn around without any discomfort.

“This was Reggie’s first time staying with Kris. It’s was pretty hot those 3 days and 2 nights but luckily Kris’ air conditioned home kept out hound cool and they played in the doggy pool to cool off during the day. We appreciated the photos and updates Kris provided. We would definitely recommend Kris.”
“Ron did a wonderful job caring for our dog, Henry, and was great about administering the special eye medication our guy requires. This was the second time we’ve left Henry with Ron and both times he seemed happy and comfortable there. There’s a big back yard to sniff around in and a comfy couch for lounging. Ron’s calm demeanor really made Henry feel at home, and Henry came home happy and in great shape. We will definitely contact Ron for any future dog sitting needs!”
“Marybeth and family took good care of our dog Toby for a week. I believe Toby had as good a vacation as we did! He got to play with Zoey and keep an eye on the cats. He spent time relaxing on the back deck watching the chickens. Working out the details with Marybeth was easy and she's quick to respond. She's obviously good with animals.”
“Tammy was ideal as a caregiver for our elderly cockapoo. She provided reassurance with her communication and we were confident that our dog was receiving loving attention at all times. Thank you Tammy for being so wonderful with Milo!”
“Veronica was great! Our dog Perla is 1 year old and very active and playful. She was kept busy with Veronicas two dogs for 12 days, which Perla seem to enjoy very much. Veronica is very knowledgeable about dogs and very patient. She kept us informed with pictures and videos. We will definitely use Veronica again.”
“So happy to have come across Jennifer and Eric before boarding our pup. Seeing photos of him snuggling their kids and knowing he was being loved on all week gave us so much peace of mind while we were on vacation. Thank you guys so much!”
“For Peanuts third stay with Taylor, she went with Taylor without looking back! At doggycare, she would pull and cry. This is evidence to us that Taylor has already gained Peanut's trust. Since Peanut's typically an anxious dog, we are so thankful she can stay with someone she can trust while we're away!!”
“My dog Daisy stayed with Liberty for a week and she took great care of her and the dogs got along swimmingly! She did great with some funny logistics I had with handing off to a friend and it all went smooth and easy! Will be using her again!”
“Elizabeth and Sterling were fantastic. I booked last minute without much time for a meet and greet, and not only did they oblige and still meet same day, they made me feel comfortable leaving my dog with them. Their dog Lilo is such a sweetheart as well! They provided updates and exercise and I knew my pup was in good hands. Thank you so much for your great care! And I'm sorry again for the late plane arrival on my return!”
“Cheryl and family were so kind and wonderful. Took amazing care of my Coco, promising updates and pictures. Made time to meet us beforehand since Coco has only been left with non family a few times and was nervous. Appreciate knowing she was in caring hands. Would highly recommend.”
“Bonnie was fantastic for my boy Abel! Plenty of updates and photos of walks, playtime, and naps. She made quick friends with him and made him feel right at home. Would happily book in the future!”
“Kathy and her daughter, home from college, were such fantastic, flexible, and dependable care takers for our two pups. I had surgery and a family emergency all at the same time when Kathy stepped in to be a complete lifesaver. Our pups are quite attached and love cuddles. I could tell both from the photos she shared and how our pups behaved after their stay that they were well cared for and loved. Thank you!”
“Tommy was absolutely incredible! You can genuinely tell he cares and individualizes care for the pups! He kept us updated throughout our trip, and sent us pictures of Ziggy having a great time with his friends! Ziggy came back to us calm, happy, and tired! Tommy is very knowledgeable about dogs and told us some great tricks to try with Ziggy from his past experiences! We have had an excellent experience, nothing but great things to say!”
“Jean was absolutely wonderful. She was more than welcoming and took great care of my dog. She keeps them active and well taken care for. Would definitely use her again.”
“Catherine was very thoughtful and intentional in her care for Daisy. Daisy had a great time. She loved running around Catherine's incredible yard and getting to play with other dogs.”
“Hayleigh took good care of Enigma for 19 days. She’s very happy that she has playmates at Hayleighs and a yard to roam around. We’ll definitely be back at her place next time we need dog boarding.”
“We boarded our dog with Christopher when we were out of town for the night & returned to a happy, well exercised dog. Definitely would use Christophers services again!”
