“Christina is communicative, flexible, and caring. Our dog was feeling a bit nervous in a new environment and Christina did her best to support our dog while we were away. When we picked up our dog she was happy and healthy! Thank you, Christina!”
“Lyssette kept me updated with pictures and video my whole trip. We used her our first time using rover and she did a wonderful job and my dog was very happy when she got home. We used to take my dog to boarding places but after it made her super sick last time we decided to try out rover and I’m glad we did because it was a very good experience.”
“Lucy had a great time and I felt very comfortable knowing she was in loving hands ❤️ they were also very understanding and flexible! Will definitely book with them again!”
“Tawna and John did an excellent job watching my very anxious pup. I went out of town very last minute for three weeks, and they took great care of him and his special needs. They were very flexible about what worked best for Tazz and were aware of dog behaviors. I felt confident that he would be in great hands and was shocked at all the photos I received of Tazz hanging out with other dogs as calm as can be! Great people and great space for dogs of all needs!”
“The best pet sitters!!!! So much love and attention given to my fur baby! 🩷 The updates and photos sent to me give me such comfort and joy. I would recommend Juliann and her family to all! 🌸🩷”
“Isamar and Caleb took Ripley in on short notice and over the holidays, which was a huge relief. On top of that they were fantastic sitters making sure our dog was as comfortable in their home as she was ours. We received daily pictures and updates. I would highly recommend their services and hope to book them again myself.”
“Our favorite boarding and day care place for Cody! Cody loves to stay by Suzanne and her lovely pack! Love all the pictures and updates! Thank you!”
“AMAZING dog sitter. Both of our pups came home happy and tuckered out! Alex was so accommodating. He came to our wedding venue to pick up Rocky after the ceremony was over and was so patient while we snapped a few photos with the pup! Took great care of our fur pups! Would definitely recommend!”
“Manisha and her family took such amazing care of our wild lab! They took her in like family and spoiled her with exercise and snuggles! I got many photo and video updates throughout the day, so I always had peace of mind. She also is so friendly and sent fun captions with the photos that made us smile. Your pet will be in the best hands with Manisha! ❤️”
“Melani was great taking care of CalCal my goldendoodle. We met up beforehand to make sure my dog would get along with her dog. She sent many photos during the boarding. Would use her again; thanks Melani!”
“Stop scrolling and just book Saawan and Kangna to look after your pet. Amazing communication, very accommodating with plans and above all they took great care of my older dog. Seriously, book them and be done with it.”
“Paula is friendly and so knowledgeable. Her dogs were great playmates for my dog, so I got a happy, tired out pup when I came for pick up. Paula was flexible with me on drop off and pick up times due to icy roads - I really appreciated her kind demeanor and quick communication.”
“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.”
“Ricky Bobby and family thank you for taking care of him while his family was away. Much appreciate all the daily updates, quick responses, and video’s too. Very friendly and professional. Highly recommended!”
“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!”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Angelica and Bruce were lovely and looked after Sadie with exceptional care - not sure my dog wanted to come home! They have a well-thought care plan, sent updates, and easily adjusted to my schedule. Sadie’s new home away from home!”

“Jessica was AMAZING with her drop in visits while we were out of town. We have a kitty with a terminal illness and she was able to give daily meds and spend quality time with our kitties. She also braved a snow storm to make sure that our kitties were well taken care of. Our cats were happier and feeling more social by the time we got home than they normally are after we’ve been out of town. We couldn’t recommend Jess enough and we will be rebooking with her for any upcoming trips we have.”
“Ariana is a conscientious and careful cat sitter. She always sends a photo or two from each sitting. She is good at following my instructions for care and asks questions as needed. I feel good about leaving my kitty in her care.”
“Jaime did a great job looking in on my two shy kitties, and making sure they had plenty of food and water. She went above and beyond seeking out the cats and sending me a picture of them under the bed; it was reassurance that I left my cats in good hands while I was away.”
About: If you’re looking for a safe, loving place for your dog while you’re away, I’d love to help! I grew up surrounded by animals on a Japanese maple farm with over 20 horses and lots of dogs, both indoor and working dogs, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and training backgrounds. I am a student and only have one in-person class this term, giving me lots of availability for quality time with your pup! I live in a cute, quiet neighborhood near a park and walking trail, and I usually go for walks in the mornings and a couple miles before dinner when my partner comes home from work (weather permitting). I’d happily bring your dog along for those little adventures so they get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and stimulation. I believe mental and physical exercise is very important for all breeds! After walks and a lot of playing, I make sure to keep track of any supplements and food schedules needed (usually by setting reminders and alarms on my phone) I also know how important peace of mind is while you’re away, so I like to send regular updates and photos so you can see how your pup is doing. If you have any questions or want to chat about your dog’s specific needs, feel free to reach out. I’d love to meet you both!

“Alisha took care of my golden retriever while I was away for a long weekend. She was extremely communicative throughout the whole process and gave me so much ease leaving my baby!! Very responsible and great with my dog! Highly recommend”
“Michelle was great with our cat, she went above and beyond to make sure are pet was well taken care of, and is always thoughtful and communicative when it comes to our pet’s needs. I highly recommend her, she will do a great job.”
“Erica is outstanding and we are so lucky we were referred to her. I always feel stressed when going out-of-town, and having Erica stay in our house with our 6 month old kitten provided such comfort to us. She is very organized, communicates so well, and gave our kitten lots of love and attention. We had a service call at our house that she easily took care of and our house was so clean when we returned (she really went above and beyond!). Also, Erica sent us cute photos and videos or our kitten, which was fun to receive while away. Thank you so much Erica!”
“Meghan was so sweet to my kitties. The litter was cleaned and the floor by the box was swept. Their water dish had been cleaned and filled, and their food bowls were washed. Meghan went above my expectations and I will DEFINITELY use her again. My kitties are my babies and it was hard to trust someone with them but Meghan exceeded my expectations.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Isamar and Caleb and ! They were incredibly thoughtful, attentive, and thorough in getting to know both of our labs. They took the time to ask great questions and really understand each dog’s needs. One of our labs has cerebellar hypoplasia, which affects his balance and ability to follow commands, and they handled him with so much patience, care, and compassion. It meant a lot to see how intentional they were—taking notes and making sure they understood how to support him safely and appropriately. They also sent frequent updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were in great hands and genuinely cared for. We would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, kind, and attentive sitters!”

“Our dog had a great time at Matt's. We were in town just for half of the day and happy to find a place for our dog to enjoy herself with other dogs. We received pictures and a video while she was there. She was tired and slept really well that night. Matt was friendly, easy to talk and communicate with. We would definitely book again with Matt if we are ever in his area again.”
“Penny had a great day with Christina! During the day, Christina sent me photos of Penny and updates on how she was settling in and getting on with her family furry friends. Christina is super friendly and a great communicator. I felt totally at ease leaving Penny with her.”
“The boys love going to play with Reggie and are exhausted and happy at the end of the day. Love being able to drop them off in capable warm and friendly hands. Huge yard and great playmates.”

“Megan did a great job sitting with Duke in our house and kept in touch during her stay with texts and photos. We are planning a trip later and will use Megan again for house sitting.”
“This was my first time using Tawyna & John P "Clay" for doggy day care, and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience. Clay was professional from the start and always prompt in responding to my questions, which I really appreciated. When we arrived, he took the time to give me a tour and patiently answered all of my questions. The multiple levels of fenced kennel runs with bark chips were very well done, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing that both of my Weimaraners were safe and secure. Most importantly, my dogs had a great time! They came home happy and happily worn out at the end of the day, which says everything. I’m so thankful for the care Clay provided and would absolutely recommend him to others looking for a safe, well-run place for their dogs.”
“Lauren was great! She was flexible & accommodating, loved on our Tucker dog, who can have high separation anxiety, and communicated with us through the day to let us know how he was doing and to verify any concerns. It was a blessing to have her watch him for the day, allowing him to join us on this trip but to know he was in good hands while we completed activities he could not join us for. We would definitely use Lauren again!”
“Jill was wonderful! Super easy drop off and pickup for our day trip to Willamette. We felt comfortable leaving our dog with her. Riley was happy and tired when she finished her visit. Thank you, Jill!”
“Chloe and her family took great care of our pup when we were in town for a softball tournament. She was really flexible in accommodating our last minute game schedules for drop off and pick up. ?”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole entire life, a dog is a man’s best friend in my opinion. I currently got a 2.5 yr old English bulldog! His name is Wu-Tang😎 I’ve taken care of a lot of Frenchie’s for Crown bully farms, and still currently am. I would be available almost everyday, to walk feed or “dog sit” I am available M-F and Saturday.. get in contact with me for more information, TIA. I have a fenced yard at home, and there would be plenty of water for dogs outside. And will only feed dogs food that is provided for them..
About: If your dog loves walks, attention, and being treated like absolute royalty… we’re going to get along great 🐾 I’ve been dog sitting for over a decade, and at this point it’s less of a job and more of a personality trait. I walk my own dog three times a day (yes, we’re that kind of household), and I genuinely can’t wait to add your pup to the routine! I’m fully that girl who has to stop and say hi to every cute dog I pass—and by the end of it, we’re best friends. So just know: your dog is not getting casual care… they’re getting full-on obsession. Your doggo will get plenty of walks, love, cuddles, attention, and playtime from me and my sweet girl Sparrow. Think of it as a little vacation where they’re the main character 💁♀️ Can’t wait to meet your pup and become their new favorite human (besides you of course!) I work 8-5p M-F but work from home 3 days a week and have availability to walk early mornings, evenings, and during my lunch breaks! My weekends are typically very free and are usually filled with park visits and walks! I treat other dogs just like they are my own, and my girl is treated like an absolute queen! I make sure doors are securely closed, that anything potentially harmful is stored away, and always take weather into consideration when walking (if it’s over 80 degrees out, I will provide boots to ensure that pups don’t get their paws burned!) I make sure to bring water and poop bags and will always communicate if something seems off.
About: We have taken care of many friends and families dogs over the years, small and large breeds. We've helped potty train puppies. We have had great success teaching them great tricks, such as sit/lay/wait/shake/whisper/etc. We are a newly empty nest home, very adventurous and outdoorsy. Taking your fur baby on hikes and long walks, playing at the park and enjoying our fenced in backyard. We are newly emptynesters, as both our boys are away at college. Dad works full time, Mom was a full time Mommy until the boys moved off to College. We lost our Yorker a few years back, but we were in a phase of life that kept us too busy for a new fur baby. But now that the boys are off to college and life has settled down some, we’ve talked about the possibility of bringing in a new dog to the family. Dad wants a new dog now, Mom wants to make sure it’s the right time first. So as a compromise, we want to care for and love your pets while you are away. On occasion, the college boys will be home to love on your fur babies as well. We are a very active couple, we love the outdoors. We'd love to have your dogs along for the fun! We cannot watch cats in our home, but are happy to do drop in visits in your home to play with and care for them. We do accept dogs in our home for care. We have a fenced in backyard for lots of playtime, and fields and parks nearby for longer walks and play. We currently have two cats, so your dog must do well with cats to stay in our home. We can also do daily or multi daily check ins on pets in your home (sorry, no housesitting/staying over in your home). We will play with them, cuddle with them, feed/water, clean litter boxes and make sure they are happy and safe in the comfort of their own home. Whether our home or yours, you can trust that your fur babies will be happy and safe in our care while you are away.
“Alexis and Jacob watched Baja for the first time and it was a total success! Baja is very sweet but can be a handful and so we were pretty picky about who could take the reins after her last sitter moved. Based on the friendliness, competence, reliability, and great communication we experienced with Alexis and Jacob, we’re thrilled to have a new loving and safe place for Baja to stay when we’re gone.”
“Hannah was great. She was very flexible and punctual and cared for our pup well. It was nice knowing our dog got to enjoy farm life. She even washed him when he got muddy. Very kind.”
“Izzy had a wonderful time, she was a little sad leaving and slept hard once she got back ?. So glad we found someone reliable to take care of our baby when we can't take her with us. We also loved receiving photos of her throughout the day.”

Find me on insta @ GomezGetaway Myhome is full of love, fun, structure, and lots of tail wags thanks to our own pups, Mazie & Louie! I know leaving your dog with someone else can feel stressful, so my goal is simple: I want your pup to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and part of the family while you’re away. Whether your dog loves playtime, couch cuddles, sunbathing, or just a calm environment to relax in, I work hard to make their stay feel like a little getaway of their own. I provide personalized attention, frequent updates/photos, and a warm home environment with lots of supervision and care. I currently keep my bookings intentionally small so each dog gets plenty of attention and a low-stress experience.

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy it—it’s something I prioritize, not squeeze in. I build my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get consistent attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day. Whether it’s morning check-ins, midday activity, or evening wind-down time, I make sure each dog’s needs and routine are followed closely so they feel comfortable and cared for. I work full time at home! My job is flexible and allows for play time, potty breaks and lunch time walks! I have a large fenced backyard where your pup is free to play, explore and potty! I have two additional fur babies who will keep your pup company! Your pup will likely spend most of the day with me inside, in my office. I give my pups space to roam the house if they want, but they generally sleep on the couch behind me. I am also able to crate your pup if that's what they're used to or comfortable with. I am flexible to your needs!
“I have used Britney for drop-in visits during the day while I’m at work to get my puppy out to potty and walk, and she was great! She is very personable and professional. I will be using her again in the future, and would highly recommend her.”

About: I was raised in a multi-animal house with multiple dogs and cats. Both of the dogs me and my family have taken care of are extremely high energy breeds with both a cattle dog and cattle dog / husky mix. I have house sat for multiple friends and family members and have had extended stays on my Grandfathers farm taking care of chickens, alpacas, and horses. I will be prepared for anything your cat or dog may throw my way! I am currently home from college for the summer. I have almost complete open availability and am willing to work some overnight hours (minus a few weekend nights here and there). I understand that taking care of dogs is a full time job that requires a lot of structure and timing. I have a firm knowledge on feeding schedules and the needs of animals as well as a desire to keep them both physically and mentally happy. I am physically fit myself and am willing to exercise dogs that may need the additional physical activity.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a kid. Much more familiar with big working dogs with high drive like huskies, German shepherds, and cattle dogs. But I love taking care of them all! The current fluff ball in my house (housemates pup) is my first time regularly looking after a smaller dog but she’s kinda a big dog in a little body as she loves getting out for walks and trail runs just as my as my shepherd did. I’m currently only employed part time and work from home. So flexible hours and looking for extra reasons to get out of the house and active this summer. Unfortunately my home does not have a fenced in yard but there are walking trails nearby and a fenced in dog park close by. My pup is friendly with other dogs. I’m available to take care of your furball in your home if that is better for you.
About: I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes each one unique. I treat every dog with the same patience, care, and attention I would want for my own. I have experience caring for dogs of various ages and breeds, as well as multi-dog households in a variety of settings. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while keeping owners updated and at ease. Pet care is my full-time focus, and my schedule is built around providing dependable, attentive care for the pets and families I work with. I prioritize consistency, communication, and making sure each pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I provide care exclusively within my clients’ homes, as I believe pets feel safest and most comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. Throughout all services, I prioritize maintaining your pet’s normal schedule while providing companionship, exercise, structure, and attentive care. I respect each client’s home as if it were my own and value cleanliness, security, and clear communication. I also provide regular updates and photos for added peace of mind and carefully follow all care requests.
About: I've been taking care of dogs for the past 9 years. From owning dogs to dog sitting. I am comfortable walking, feeding, grooming, training, playing, and staying overnight with any age of dog. I really enjoy being around puppies and have a good understanding of what senior dogs need. I am comfortable with both high and low energy dogs. Have a skidish or shy dog? I have experience with them too. I am home from college for the summer and have plenty of time on my hands! I'm very flexable with times and am more than happy to wake up early or stay late! I will communicate with the pet parent to understand the pets needs and figure out plans to prevent or deal with various potential shenanigans the furry friend may come up with.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life — with over 10 years of personal ownership and experience in dog sitting, walking, and training. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments — from laid-back seniors to high-energy puppies. I’m especially experienced with young or active dogs and love providing high-energy play, consistent routines, and plenty of cuddles. I’ve also trained dogs in basic obedience, hunting, and even service dog skills, so I’m comfortable reinforcing training while you’re away. I offer walking, feeding, crate training, medication administration, and overnight care — and I always tailor my approach to your dog’s unique needs and personality. Whether your pup needs a calm, consistent presence or someone to match their zoomies, I’ve got you covered! I’m currently on summer break! I’m available weekly for dog sitting (overnights or daytime care), dog walking, drop-ins, and more. House Sitting: Please keep in mind that I do not provide constant care at my listed rates. If you need constant care, please reach out to me about my rates. I have my own dog to care for, as well as walks and drop-ins for other clients throughout the day. I always make sure pets are not left alone longer than the agreed upon timeframe. But if you need constant care, I will make sure to block off the dates you need for your pet(s) only! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space and routine with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow all instructions carefully—whether that’s feeding schedules, walking routines, crate time, or medication needs—so your pet stays comfortable and consistent in their environment.

“My husband and I met Alisha in October for a meet and greet with Milo, our mixed yellow lab and golden retriever. The meeting was for an upcoming trip during the Christmas holidays. We instantly liked her, she was on time when she came, she was professional, she bonded right away with Milo. Soon after I booked a three day walk in November just to reconnect again with her. It was for a 30 minute walk and again she was on time and I love the fact that I get a text and a pic of the walk. Tomorrow will be the start of a 13 day house sitting and we feel confident about the whole thing knowing that Milo will not be neglected. We’re glad we came across her at Rover. I highly recommend her.”
About: Hi there! I am a fun, genuine, pet lover who loves animals with my whole heart, especially dogs. I have had multiple pets my whole life and am very well versed in taking care of animals. I have been caring for pets professionally for about 6 years taking care of and pet sitting for friends, family and on care websites. I am very flexible with rates, hours, and needs of animals and no job is too gross or taxing that I can’t figure out. I truly love that I get to care for animals AND get paid doing it, it honestly feels like a dream. Let me know if you are interested in considering me to take care of your sweet fur babies, I’d love to tell you more!
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors pets throughout my life. This has included cats and dogs mostly! I have preformed walks, feeding and making sure the pet has water and giving out plenty of love and pets! I have dog walked, and done drop in visits for one family in the last year which included 2 cats and one hedgehog! I would love to have a dog of my own but don’t have the time due to my job. I can help walk on weekends and week nights after 5pm! I make sure to spend time with and take great care with the animals. I love dogs and all other animals so much and know how important they are to people, so I extend that same love.
About: I have grown up always having pets and each one of them impacted my life greatly! I also started pet sitting for my neighbors at a young age and have continued pet sitting ever since. I have hands on experience with a wide range of breeds, ages, temperaments, and needs. I am also comfortable caring for multiple pets at once. Additionally, the past two years I lived with someone with a dog and watched him for her frequently when she was traveling. I am very comfortable living with someone else’s pet and capable of adapting my daily schedule to fit their needs. I am currently in grad school with a tight budget and cannot afford my own pet right now (despite wanting one SO bad), so I adore any opportunities I get to give some love to one. I always connect very quickly with any pets I meet and I know your dog(s)/cat(s) and I will get along great! I am also happy to care for any other pets you may have as I have experience with a wide range of pets and I really love all animals! (though if it’s a spider you may have to convince me) I am currently job and internship hunting while doing school work for my graduate school program, so my schedule is very flexible and I have plenty of time to put towards pet care. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions to keep their routine as normal as possible and minimize stress while you’re away. I want every pet I care for to feel secure and respected, so I pay close attention their cues when it comes to personal space and affection. That way, I can give them the right amount of attention to help them feel comfortable and loved. I also promise to treat your home with the same care and respect, keeping it clean and just as you left it.
About: If you want your animals to be well cares for, tired from playing and treated like a family member, I am the right choice for you! I have always had animals in my life! When I turned 18 I got myself a puppy. I have trained and taken care of her for the past 7 years! My friends and family often come to me and ask me to help when their dogs are misbehaving because of how well my dog is trained. I have dog sat many times over the years and figured I should get paid for it now. I work a full-time compressed schedule. Due to this I always have 3-4 days off a week. I am looking to fill some of that free time with something I love doing. Walking and taking care of animals! I already walk my dog so I would be happy to walk yours as well! I will drop in when needed and let your animals out to go potty. I can feed them if needed and play with them until they are tired! I can accomadate almost anything.
About: "Experienced and reliable pet caregiver with a passion for animals. Skilled in providing personalized care, including feeding, walking, grooming, and administering medications. Adept at handling pets of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, with years of experience ensuring their safety, comfort, and happiness. Dedicated to building trust with both pets and their owners through attentive and compassionate service." Pet care fits into my daily routine by starting with feeding and ensuring fresh water first thing in the morning. I then take the dog for a walk or engage in some playtime to burn off energy. Throughout the day, I check in to ensure the pet has everything they need, including meals, bathroom breaks, and comfort. In the evening, I provide another walk or play session and spend time bonding. I also make sure to administer medications or bathe the pet as needed, all while keeping their space clean and comfortable. As a pet sitter, I enjoy engaging in fun activities like playing fetch or tug-of-war, offering puzzle toys for mental stimulation, and taking daily walks. I also make sure to stick to regular meal times, give bath time when needed, and administer any necessary medications. My goal is to provide a routine that keeps pets happy, healthy, and comfortable while their owners are away.
About: I have been an animal lover since a young age, and have been caring for dogs since 2011. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, and all ages in between. I have experience in training my own dogs and in practicing commands as asked when puppy-sitting. I've even trained my cat to give high-fives! I also have experience in administering medication, both oral meds as well as eyedrops. Our 14 year old labradoodle gets eyedrops twice daily, which I administer. I bond easily with animals and love dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes! I love getting to know animals, and have a knack for bonding with anxious, shy animals. I am also okay with brushing and bathing, etc., as asked if needed. I am typically available all day on the weekends and most Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am in grad school for the next two years in Forest Grove and classes occur around 9am-4pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I may have time for quick home visits for potty breaks during lunch on these days, if needed. I am happy to spend quiet time with pets who are more mellow, or to spend time playing or walking with energetic, younger dogs if that suits them best. I typically observe the dog's behavior and notes from the owner when deciding what to do- are they looking tired and calm? Are they a bit riled up and could use a playtime or a walk? I will follow any instructions left by the owners, as well. If there is anything specific or special you'd like me to do for your pets, just let me know!

“Christina is communicative, flexible, and caring. Our dog was feeling a bit nervous in a new environment and Christina did her best to support our dog while we were away. When we picked up our dog she was happy and healthy! Thank you, Christina!”
“Lyssette kept me updated with pictures and video my whole trip. We used her our first time using rover and she did a wonderful job and my dog was very happy when she got home. We used to take my dog to boarding places but after it made her super sick last time we decided to try out rover and I’m glad we did because it was a very good experience.”
“Lucy had a great time and I felt very comfortable knowing she was in loving hands ❤️ they were also very understanding and flexible! Will definitely book with them again!”
“Tawna and John did an excellent job watching my very anxious pup. I went out of town very last minute for three weeks, and they took great care of him and his special needs. They were very flexible about what worked best for Tazz and were aware of dog behaviors. I felt confident that he would be in great hands and was shocked at all the photos I received of Tazz hanging out with other dogs as calm as can be! Great people and great space for dogs of all needs!”
“AMAZING dog sitter. Both of our pups came home happy and tuckered out! Alex was so accommodating. He came to our wedding venue to pick up Rocky after the ceremony was over and was so patient while we snapped a few photos with the pup! Took great care of our fur pups! Would definitely recommend!”
“Manisha and her family took such amazing care of our wild lab! They took her in like family and spoiled her with exercise and snuggles! I got many photo and video updates throughout the day, so I always had peace of mind. She also is so friendly and sent fun captions with the photos that made us smile. Your pet will be in the best hands with Manisha! ❤️”
“Melani was great taking care of CalCal my goldendoodle. We met up beforehand to make sure my dog would get along with her dog. She sent many photos during the boarding. Would use her again; thanks Melani!”
“Stop scrolling and just book Saawan and Kangna to look after your pet. Amazing communication, very accommodating with plans and above all they took great care of my older dog. Seriously, book them and be done with it.”
“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!”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Angelica and Bruce were lovely and looked after Sadie with exceptional care - not sure my dog wanted to come home! They have a well-thought care plan, sent updates, and easily adjusted to my schedule. Sadie’s new home away from home!”
“I’m so very thrilled with how well Brittany cared for our big, lovable giant. Our Dane is in his senior years and household check ins no longer work for his anxiety and body. We have never had him stay outside the home and Brittany sent updates, photos and most importantly loved and cared for our big baby as if he were her own. Thank you so very much”
“Biscuit loved staying with Angela and her family! They have a great yard too! We got so many photos of biscuit playing with the kiddos and an update on how she was doing.”

“Alexis and Jacob were very friendly. I think they took great care of LeeLoo. She seemed very relaxed with them. I will definitely use them next time we need a sitter.”
“Allison was very accommodating with our dog Yoshi who still has a lot of puppy energy. I could tell that Yoshi had a great stay, he came back home calm and very affectionate. I'll definitely reach out to Allison for dog sitting in the future.”
“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!”
