“Taylor and Liv were the best when it came to taking care of Atlas! They were very attentive, detail oriented, and made sure to update me daily on how Atlas was doing. They took him on plenty of walks and gave him lots of cuddles. I will absolutely be using them again in in the near future.”
“My experience with Sandy was excellent!! It was my first time boarding my dog at Sandy. She welcomed me and my dog, and we had a chat about my dog. She showed me where my dog would be going to stay and introduced other dogs. On the first day, she sent me my dog's photo and a little observation report about my dog. This was very kind of her. I did not have to worry how my dog was doing at a new place with other dogs. She seems to be very attentive and has a great awareness about dogs (e.g., how old ones act differently, eye sight, sleeping, etc.). She takes care of dogs like taking care of human babies.”
“We were nervous in leaving Louie with Kristopher, he hadn’t ever been boarded for that long! Our conversations before drop off put us at ease. Then came the photos and texts from Kris. We could tell Louie was having fun and being treated as one of the family. We won’t hesitate to call on Kris and his family the next time we plan a trip!”
“Kind and caring. Our dog bolts right inside like it’s her second home (we try to tell her it’s not). She loves Ron’s dog Emma, which seems to really help with having a companion dog there with ours to keep her company while boarding.”
“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.”
“Paul (and Arnel) took great care of Rosie and provided me daily updates of all their adventures! She was in great hands and he was an excellent communicator! Loved all the pictures and news of her daily life.”
“Jason is a natural when it comes to caring for dogs. Sheldon warmed up to him instantly and his communication was spot on as he was kind, thorough, and thoughtful with his responses and updates along with plenty of pictures to keep me involved with his care. Gus & Star are very sweet as well and Sheldon left with new friends. Hoomans & doggos alike! Jason is flexible as well and simply made the whole process so easy I would highly recommend him to care for your pupper! Many thanks Jason 😊”
“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!”
“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.”
“Keelan and Sabrina were lovely! They have been my favorite pet sitters on Rover. Lots of walks, play time, cuddles, and updates of my pup. I would absolutely book with them again in the future.”
“Angelica and Tyler clearly cared about both our dogs. They were fine with our 11 year old shepherd sleeping the day away; and happy with our daughter’s young husky playing all day in their very dog friendly yard. And it is a wonderful dog yard ! They are devoted dog caretakers. It’s a really good place for active dogs .”
“What an amazing individual and her little doggie, Zoe. Marybeth is super casual, interested, caring, and flexible. She understands pets and their importance. I loved her tree-lined neighborhood and the HUGE fenced backyard available for my little pupper to play. I've decided Marybeth's the one to trust with my little pup, Mia.”
“Jake was very accommodating from the beginning. I was skeptical to use this a service at first. Once I met Jake and he ran me through the process, I knew I was leaving my pet in good hands. Jake went above and beyond to make Atlas feel comfortable in his home. I look forward to using him as a pet sitter in the near future. You’re awesome Jake!”
“Kathy did a great job taking care of Angus and Addie. She shared daily updates and photos/videos. Angus has an unfortunate run-in with a skunk and Kathy took care of bathing him and the dog beds to reduce the smell. Thanks again Kathy!”
“Otis had another wonderful visit with Amber and her family. The moment we drove up to her home, Otis couldn’t wait to exit the car. He was thrilled to see Amber! We appreciate the exceptional care.”
“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)!”
“Rilo had another great stay with Hayleigh! He was so happy when we pulled up to the driveway, I could tell he is well cared for and has a lot of fun with everyone in the household during his stay! 10/10 will use again 😊”

“Tayla was fantastic with two shy kitties! She was punctual with daily check-ins and sent updates with plenty of photos to ease my worry. Both cats were happy and well cared for. Tayla was thoughtful with her care and even suggested separate feedings to ensure Oona didn’t go hungry. We hope to rebook with Tayla for our next trip!”
“Camille and Shayla were amazing with my cat, and are very lovely people. My cat is very shy towards new people, and they respected his boundaries. He came out of his shell after a few days of them stopping by. I appreciated their detailed reports.”
“Gretchen was a last-minute lifesaver. I immediately knew she’d be great! She stepped in on super short notice and took such amazing care of our cat—we felt totally at ease the whole time. So grateful for her kindness and reliability. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes. I previously worked in the medical field as a Medical Assistant in Urgent Care and Dermatology. I’ve been trusted by family, friends, and neighbors since I was 10 to provide safe, reliable, and loving care. I love all dogs, but my heart is fond for rescues. I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds - various ages, abilities, and sizes. I grew up with labs who have lots of energy, but I love a pup who enjoys to snuggle and receive back rubs. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I treat every dog with compassion and prioritize their comfort, routine, and happiness. ✨ Serving the SW Portland area- located in Multnomah Village but I’m willing to travel ✨ Flexible scheduling ✨ Reliable & attentive care I’m looking forward to meeting your adorable pups! I’m currently pet sitting full time, so I can be flexible to meet your pet’s needs day or night. I’m even available on short notice. I have a flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I can accommodate morning, midday, and afternoon visits. I am willing to work with your schedule 😊 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to understand your dog’s routine, behavior, and any specific needs to ensure consistency while you’re away. In your home, I’m respectful of your space, keep things clean and organized, and follow all instructions carefully. I’m attentive on walks, aware of surroundings, and always prioritize safe handling. You can expect regular updates and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands. American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid Certified.
“Emily was a great sitter! She was extremely responsive, thorough, kind, and followed our instructions perfectly. I highly recommend Emily for your pets. We will definitely book her again.”
“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.”
“Lucinda did a great job stepping in at the last minute when I was out-of-town, and my cat became ill. She came by twice a day to give my cat eyedrops, which is not always an easy thing to do! She was punctual, and had very good. communication. Recommended.”
“Evita is great, very diligent and good with the kitty. Helped keep place in good shape for our weekend return. Would definitely hire again. Fully recommend for cat drop ins.”
“Thanks for hanging with the kitty crew Paisley! Your photo check-ins were much appreciated (some great shots) and the meows were very well taken care of while we were away 🙂”
“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!”
“Taylor took *wonderful* care of my cats! She did everything I asked, sent succinct and helpful summaries, and - most telling of all - both cats were healthy and happy upon my return. She seems highly competent and I would hire her again in a heartbeat.”
“Just starting using Rover and Colby, my first time. Impressed by the prompt communication, updates, pictures if my dogs. Also, punctual. Thank you!”
“I have used Carmen as a petsitter a couple times while I’ve been out of town for a few days. She sent me lots of pictures and was super responsive and I would book with her again”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong, hands-on experience specifically caring for cats, including raising and living with them since childhood and currently owning a cat.

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.

“Another awesome day with Damon and his doggos. Uki always leaves so tired and happy. She’s still tired the next day and has really blossomed in her social skills.”
“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!”
“Kris is always knowledgeable flexible and personable. He has a great love for dogs and it shows his daughter and he even play piano for the dogs..My babies are always well taken care of and I have no worries that they are always in good hands. Thank you Kris! Youre the best”
“Evita was incredible! She watched Miso while I had a 12hr shift at work, and was extremely accommodating with drop off and pick up time. She sent lots of updates and was very understanding when my nervous dog wouldn’t stop barking in the morning. 10/10 would recommend!!”
“Jax says Rover needs more stars for Allen. I love being with him and my buddies there. I get to run and run and play and play, then nap and do it all again — it’s doggy heaven.”
“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.”
“Our dogs always come home happy and calm from their play day at Angelica and Tyler's. They can't wait to get to their house so all our doggy dates are a win for everyone :-)”
“Naomi has been really great with Blue and ensured daily communication to send us news. We felt really good to know Blue was in good hands ! Thanks a lot for taking are of our dog!”
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.
“Chelsea has been awesome with my pups, and they love playing with her dogs as well. Their stay has been great. They’re tuckered out and happy every day I’ve picked them up after daycare 💞”
“Tommy was a great sitter for our puppy pitbull, Mamba! He made sure the environment was right for a puppy, and took extra measures to ensure she had a great first day care experience. He lives and breathes the dog caretaker life, so if you want someone who will pay attention to your dog’s needs and truly care for them, Tommy is your guy!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Sequoia took very good care of our anxious pup to make him feel right at home. She provided great photos and thorough details from the day. We will gladly have our Bruce stay with her again!”
“Asher loves going to daycare at Savannah’s! I totally trust her and know he’s well cared for and having so much fun when I’m working or out of town. 10/10 would recommend!!”
“Sujana was great! It was perfect for a day with my pup. She was caring, asked what he needed and put my mind at ease for a first visit. I’ll definitely be rebooking with her. Thank you for taking good care of my baby! :)”

About: Growing up I always had animals, especially dogs and cats! I absolutely adored each and every one. I love animals of all sizes, and treat mine like my children. I will give your baby all the attention, snuggles, and love they want. I have many years of experience in caring for dogs and cats, and would love to spoil and care for yours just as I do mine! :) I work through out the week so during that time I have limited availability but I am flexible for drop-in’s most evenings and early mornings. I am completely available Friday through Sunday. I will keep a close eye on your baby and make sure to the best of my ability they’re safe at all times! If you have a certain schedule or routine for your babe I am happy to keep them on that as well. For boarding, I don’t have a yard at my apartment but have easy access to trails/parks for walks and frequent potty breaks!
“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.”
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.
“Kai was amazing with Wednesday and made it a lot easier for me to relax and not worry about my fur baby while I am away! They were communicative and thoughtful throughout the whole process.”
“Lucinda made multiple extra visits to my house (outside of scheduled walks) to try & get my very fearful dog to get to know her. She is very patient & understanding, I just wish my dog would be more cooperative! I appreciate how she went above & beyond to try & accommodate my scaredy cat dog. <3”
“I don't have enough good things to say about Colby!! He walks my dog for me and just goes above and beyond for her. I've never used a dog walker before and was nervous to try it out and Colby just made the whole process so smooth and reassuring for me. He has excellent communication and sends cute photo updates. It's everything to me to know my baby is in good hands!”
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 have owned and cared for many animals over the years. I have extensive experience and I am dedicated to making sure your pets feel safe, loved and happy under my care. I am free all day, everyday. I am a university student home from studying animal sciences and would love to get some quality visits in! I don’t offer care at my own home but I am happy to stay or do drop ins at your house. I will ensure your fur baby gets quality cuddles and play time, properly fed, taken on walks as needed and endless love!
About: I have grown up with animals and I have experience doing dog walking in the area. I have walked dogs of all sizes, from a Chihuahua to Bernese Mountain dog and I love all dogs. I am also a college runner and can take your dog on a run if they are high energy! I currently am a college student living in an apartment with a cat, I am unable to board any animals but I would be happy to pet-sit or do drop in visits! I am a student-athlete, which makes me a little more busy but I have time from 6-8AM, 11-1PM, and on most days 3-10PM I can keep your pet busy with pets, play time, walks, or whatever else they may need. I love spending time with animals and I would love to be able to take care of your pet while you cannot!
“Rufus absolutely loves Lyle because the walks are deluxe. I absolutely adore Lyle because he’s been walking Rufus for over a year and does a phenomenal job taking care of the good boi.”
“I am so grateful that Karly has been walking and checking in on my senior dog, Carl these past couple months. It is such a comfort to know that she is taking care of Carl while I'm away for a long work day!”

About: Hi there! I’m an experienced pet lover with over 10 years of caring for dogs, from new puppies with high energy to lazy senior dogs. I have also spent lots of times with cats and adore all their different personalities from independent to cuddly. My partner is also an avid pet-lover as we often foster together and is in training to be a vet-tech, so he will be at my disposal for emergencies and extra assistance if something were to arise! We often share this account and the responsibilities of pet sitting :) Need potty training? Need a doggy bath? Need a nail clipping? Need a litter box cleaning? Need medicine overnight? I got you while you're away! I know every pet is unique, so please let me know their needs, routines, and quirks. I wanna be there to make sure they feel happy and cared for while in my care according to their fur-parents schedules. Your pet will be treated like family, like my own, because that’s exactly how I see all animals from cats, dogs, even rodents and birds! 🐾 🐾🐾🐾🐾 I currently have a pup of my own that is walked for over 30+ mins a day, receives medication, and training daily! I am also a dog-foster that will occasionally take in small dogs who need a helping hands before they move onto a home. So my experience variety is wide! And I have lots of free-time to welcome more pets into my heart. I will respect your home and any ground rules you set. Just let me know what is important to you. I will even vacuum/clean up after your pet so you will return happily! In case of a small dog staying with me, they will have an enthusiastic play-mate! I have a chest full of toys including enrichment toys. Walks and feedings will be a breeze. Not to mention plenty of doting by myself and my partner
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong, hands-on experience caring for animals combined with a strong scientific and responsible work background. I have cared for dogs, cats, and even a pet pig since childhood, and I currently have a cat. I’ve also regularly pet sat for neighbors and family friends since I was 12, including animals with different temperaments and needs. My biology and environmental science training, along with research experience maintaining live animal systems, has strengthened my attention to animal health, behavior, and safety. I’m also dependable, detail-oriented, and experienced in caregiving roles, including childcare and supervision, which translates well to responsible pet care and reliability for owners. Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine. I am currently not working and I have a car, so I have full flexibility for visits, walks, or check-ins throughout the day. During the summer, I have no school commitments, which means I am essentially fully available and can adjust my schedule around pet needs, including mornings, evenings, and last-minute care if needed. I am reliable, organized, and used to balancing responsibility from my academic and research background, so I can consistently prioritize pet care without scheduling conflicts. In a client’s home, I prioritize safety, routine, and minimizing stress for the pet by following the owner’s instructions exactly as given. I make sure pets have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes or outdoor access, and receive attention and exercise based on their normal routine. I’m careful to secure doors, gates, and leashes to prevent escapes and always monitor behavior for any signs of stress or health concerns. With my biology and animal research background, I’m attentive to animal well-being and comfortable handling both cats and dogs responsibly and calmly.
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.
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.
About: I was blessed to grow along my childhood pets: an elderly little King Charles spaniel, the sweetest yellow lab, and two feisty yet loving seal point siamese cats. They taught me so much - respecting boundaries, fulfilling one’s responsibility, and the importance of mutual unconditional love. Since then, I’ve had two rats of my own and have experience pet sitting and boarding pets for multiple days as well as consistent dog walking visits. Now that I’m away from my cat, I’m hoping to find more furry (or scaly!) friends to care for! I am currently a full time college student with a flexible routine and a car. While I am in class during much of the day, I have many breaks and am happy to get of campus! Pet care in a clients home revolves heavily on what the owner prefers. I am happy to follow a strict schedule or complex meals if it's explained to me in advance but just as content finding out what your pet likes to do on my own.
About: I’ve had a long and positive history working with animals! From a young age my own pet had puppies that I learned to take care of many animals at once. I also have frequently petsit a wide variety of different animals with different routines and expectations and have made many positive connections through my love of petsitting! I can spend as much time at the home with your pet or just stop in for a few check ins! I love spending time with animals and am more than willing to spend plenty of time and nights with your pets or only stop in occasionally for walks and food! Whatever you need I’m easily adaptable. I currently work a part time job and so my schedule is extremely flexible and easy to work around any petsitting needs! I can dedicate and spend as much or as little time necessary with your pets! I follow client protocol exactly and am extremely careful with pets outside to ensure your animals safety! Their safety is my top priority and I have no issue adhering to any specific schedules or needs for your pets!
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 only working/unavailable late Saturday and Sunday nights, and am extremely active during the week. I 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.

“Taylor and Liv were the best when it came to taking care of Atlas! They were very attentive, detail oriented, and made sure to update me daily on how Atlas was doing. They took him on plenty of walks and gave him lots of cuddles. I will absolutely be using them again in in the near future.”
“Tammy took excellent care of my energetic pup! She sent photos and checked in if she had a question. Our flight home was changed and so my pickup time was later than anticipated but she kindly accommodated. My dog clearly had a great time with Tammy and we hope she’s available next time we need a sitter!”
“We were nervous in leaving Louie with Kristopher, he hadn’t ever been boarded for that long! Our conversations before drop off put us at ease. Then came the photos and texts from Kris. We could tell Louie was having fun and being treated as one of the family. We won’t hesitate to call on Kris and his family the next time we plan a trip!”
“Kind and caring. Our dog bolts right inside like it’s her second home (we try to tell her it’s not). She loves Ron’s dog Emma, which seems to really help with having a companion dog there with ours to keep her company while boarding.”
“Veronica was great with our two dogs. She has a calming manner and our nervous border collie when away from home appeared totally at ease in the sweet photos that she sent us. And I’m sure our husky enjoyed playing with her huskies. They all made a good pack. 😊”
“Peter and his family did an excellent job providing care & love for my dog Nico while my family and I completed our permanent change of station (military). They were professional and courteous, even going above & beyond when they took Nico to an important veterinary appointment for plane travel. They have my highest recommendation”
“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!”
“Dahlia took great care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. She was very quick to respond to messages and sent plenty of photos throughout the day.”
“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.”
“I cannot overstate how great Brittany is! She was so kind and loving to our boy Cooper and she made the extra effort to send updates on how things were going. She is also very responsive and accommodating. Truly I can’t say enough great things! 10/10 recommend ☺️”
“Angelica and Tyler clearly cared about both our dogs. They were fine with our 11 year old shepherd sleeping the day away; and happy with our daughter’s young husky playing all day in their very dog friendly yard. And it is a wonderful dog yard ! They are devoted dog caretakers. It’s a really good place for active dogs .”
“What an amazing individual and her little doggie, Zoe. Marybeth is super casual, interested, caring, and flexible. She understands pets and their importance. I loved her tree-lined neighborhood and the HUGE fenced backyard available for my little pupper to play. I've decided Marybeth's the one to trust with my little pup, Mia.”
“Allen was awesome! He took great care of my dog. He sent me lot of videos and pictures, and he has a giant backyard where all the dogs can frolic. Haru was tugging on his leash the next day after the meet & greet because he was so excited. Definitely recommend Allen and would have him watch my dog again!”
“Jake was very accommodating from the beginning. I was skeptical to use this a service at first. Once I met Jake and he ran me through the process, I knew I was leaving my pet in good hands. Jake went above and beyond to make Atlas feel comfortable in his home. I look forward to using him as a pet sitter in the near future. You’re awesome Jake!”
“Zach was flexible and communicated well. He sent relevant updates and was able to get Daphne to eat when away from home. No concerns came up. Daphne seemed to have a fine time as far as I could tell.”
“Kathy did a great job taking care of Angus and Addie. She shared daily updates and photos/videos. Angus has an unfortunate run-in with a skunk and Kathy took care of bathing him and the dog beds to reduce the smell. Thanks again Kathy!”
“Maggie took such incredible care of Indie! He had a great time going on walks, playing with her dog Ellie, and lounging around the home. Maggie gave us regular updates and was super communicative. Couldn’t recommend her enough. We will absolutely be booking with Maggie the next time we’re out of town.”
“Rilo had another great stay with Hayleigh! He was so happy when we pulled up to the driveway, I could tell he is well cared for and has a lot of fun with everyone in the household during his stay! 10/10 will use again 😊”
