“Nadine took great care of our dog, Rosco while we were away for a long weekend with family. He got to play outdoors a lot more than he does at home, and with other dogs, too. It was his first time boarding anywhere and he was a little nervous but Nadine is a dog whisperer and gave him what he needed to settle in. She also introduced him to her cat; a creature he had little knowledge of, but had admired from afar. Rosco wanted to chase her a little bit but Nadine was able to talk him out of it. She took lots of pictures for us. Good ones! Rosco is usually either asleep or in motion, so he’s not the best photographic model. We’re homebodies, but if we go somewhere again, Rosco will stay with Nadine.”
“Gary was great with our puppy. While she was happy to see us after a two week absence, it was obvious she had been well-cared for and lovingly attended. We have already booked our next stay with Gary and Carol.”
“We were a little hesitant to leave our Izzy, with a boarder, but he just walked right up to Diana like he had known her forever. We will definitely without a shadow of a doubt have her care for him in the future. Thank you Diana.”
“Jean was very kind and helpful. I was nervous leaving my puppy for the first time (I spent a long time making a decision and even visited other homes), but I felt comfortable leaving him there and I think he had lots of one on one time and was not alone very much. She seemed to really enjoy her time with my puppy (who is a bit of a handful despite his size). She checked in with photos every day. They went for lots of walks and play time and he seemed very well cared for overall. She even dropped him off for me as I was getting in on a late flight. She is obviously a loving,fun person and enjoys dogs a lot. I would recommend her to other dog owners. Thanks Jean!!”
“Peter and Missy were so lovely to work with! They were flexible, communicative, kind and took amazing photos of my dog. I felt so comfortable with them and highly recommend them!”
“Kristen and Kasey are amazing dog sitters. They provided frequent updates and photos and even sent our dog home with a hand painted portrait of him ? we really feel like we hit the jackpot finding them!!”
“Emily has worked hard over multiple stays to build trust with our shy and nervous dog. I feel confident that Pepper loves Emily and her dog Bowie and have zero reservations or guilt about leaving my dog in their care. In fact, I know she will have a great time and come home feeling secure and happily tired.”
“Our little senior doxie, Rocky, spent 2 weeks with Barbara and we couldn’t be more happy with how it went! Barbara gave him lots of love and cuddles, and they spent some time watching Dodger baseball together. Rocky can’t wait for the next time he can spend time with Barbara 😊”
“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!”
“My dog had a wonderful weekend staying with Christopher. He really went out of his way to keep her active and entertained. I recommend him highly, and so does my dog!”
“Perla had a great time with lots of play! Elizabeth has a nice big home with lots of room to run around both inside and out. Her dog Lilo and Perla got along really well. We'll definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Sandy and Jody were great hosts for my dog! I only adopted Frida a few months ago and she had to work through some difficult separation anxiety, but at Sandy's house she had loving care, playmates and constant attention. And, I had piece of mind while I was away, as Sandy sent me text pics and short messages everyday - turning on my phone was like opening a new present daily! Thank you!”
“Susie is the best!! She tool such loving and warm care of our boy!! I would trust her with our dog anytime. She sent photos and messages every day....he was so happy and at home. Absolute perfection. Thank you Susie!!”
“Allison is extremely kind and friendly and she did a wonderful job taking care of our dog for a week. He can be a little anxious in new environments but from the first time we met Allison I think he picked up on her tremendously calm and welcoming personality, making him seem much less anxious while at her house. Her house felt very comfortable and she has a large fenced back yard for dogs to enjoy. We’ll definitely check Allison’s schedule should we need a dog sitter in the future and would not hesitate at all having her take care of our dog again.”
“I have used Willow for dog training sessions and just used her to dog sit while we went on vacation and she continues to be wonderful. She sent pictures and updates every day and even worked with him on his training while watching him. She has so mature different activities for him he was wiped out by the time we picked him up. I will continue to use her for all my dog care needs”
“Paul and Arnell were the sweetest with my Bandit. Sent lots of pictures and are very responsive at communicating. Nice meet n greet and easy drop off/pickup. Bandit was definitely spoiled with these two!”
“Michelle was a great stay for the dogs! She has a big yard for them to roam, and her home is really dedicated to space for the dogs to hang out. She was very responsive with questions and sent lots of photos. This was my first time leaving my rescue dog with a sitter, and Michelle felt confident with anxious rescues. She also had some helpful advice with my anxious dog, which was really good to hear, because you WANT a person who is honest and trustworthy about your babies!”
“I couldn’t be happier with Kimo’s service. I was nervous at first to leave my dog, Moon for 4 weeks but Kimo was wonderful at addressing any issues that Moon has had. He always tries to find the best way to make Moon feel right at home and update me with lots of photos and videos of Moon when i’m away. Couldn’t recommend him enough!”

“Tiana took great care of my cat while I was away. Even though I didn’t have cell service, I knew I didn’t need to worry. She’s highly professional and I would highly recommend her!”
“I am late writing my review, but Emily was on-time, super reliable and everything I could ask for from a sitter! She helped us out over the holidays, which I know from experience can be a tough time to sit, with everyone's schedules out of whack. Lots of photos, great communication, and most importantly, I knew my fur baby was happy and entertained while I was away. Would recommend her in a heartbeat- thanks Emily!”
“Wendy was great!! When she came over to meet the boys ( tuxedo cats)… for the first “meeting “ she sat on the floor with them, I really liked that….asked a lot of questions, to get to know them!! Sent me pics and updates….when I got home, they were happy…that is the best outcome!!!! Will definitely use Wendy in the future!!!!!!??”

He was super punctual and took great care of our animals! We will definitely use him again in the future when we need to! Highly recommend!”
“Molly took great care of my two cats while I was out of town! Both cats are pretty timid, but they warmed up to her pretty quickly. She sent lots of updates and pictures and even grabbed a package off the porch for me. I would definitely ask Molly to take care of my cats in the future!”
“Brooklyn did a great job taking care of my kitty when I had to go out of town on short notice. She was wonderful to work with, her attention to detail and communication skills are top notch. My shy cat quickly warmed up to her after a few visits. This shows that Brooklyn is great with animals, as my pet is very selective about who she trusts. I look forward to booking with Brooklyn again and I would highly recommend her to others looking for a pet sitter.”
“Melissa was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond while caring for our cats and made us feel so comfortable knowing they were in such great hands. She was attentive, reliable, communicative, and clearly went the extra mile to make sure everything was taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”
“Claire took great care of our two new little kittens when we spent a weekend away. We really appreciated her help all weekend, and knew after meeting her that the kitties were going to be in good hands. We would love to have Claire and her kiddo help out again in the future when the need arises!”
“Jessica was professional, punctual, kind, and an awesome cat sitter. She connected with our cat who can be at times standoffish. She did great following the provided instructions. Highly recommend and will hire her the next time.”

“Willow was great with my reactive, anxious dog. It’s challenging to find sitters knowledgeable and capable of dealing with his issues. We felt confident leaving our dog with her and I can tell he had a good time. Willow kept him busy with activities and gave us frequent updates. We will definitely use her services again when we need daycare.”
“Makenzie is the best! Our little pup has a blast going to her house and playing with her friends. She takes great care of all her campers and always send the best pictures of our puppy to us to let us know how much fun she’s having! Highly recommended”

“Tracy and her family did a wonderful of taking care of Ollie. He was very calm and not at all anxious when coming home and loved all the attention he was given. I will be leaving him with her on a regular basis.”
“I dropped Tofu off for the first time and Emma was immediately able to make her comfortable. Tofu is usually an anxious dog but Emma was able to provide a perfect balance between giving her space and engaging her in interaction. Thanks for a great first day!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kelsi! From day one, it was clear how genuinely caring, patient, and attentive she is with my puppy Lucy. She treats her like her own, making sure she’s safe, happy, well-exercised, and loved. I always receive great updates and photos, which gives me total peace of mind knowing Lucy is in such good hands. Her reliability, communication, and obvious love for dogs truly sets her apart. I am so grateful to have found someone I trust completely and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their dog—especially puppies!”
“From the beginning, very responsive and helpful! They were able to handle my high anxiety dog and didn’t get annoyed by the overly long explanation I had about his dogality. Followed up with pictures and updates and my dogs had a blast! Highly recommend Cass and Trevor for dog sitting.”
“Cassie was great and took great care of my 75 lb Labrador retriever. We received photos and videos of our dog having a great time! Cassie was very communicative and kept us informed at all times!”
“They treated my dogs like their own. Even bathing them when they got a little messy. They sent photos & always responded when I was checking in. They asked many questions about routines & lifestyles to make sure it was a good fit prior. I will definitely be booking again :) thank you for caring for my dogs 🩵”
“Sarah was a great sitter for my dog Rosie. Rosie was so excited to come back every morning for daycare, and Rosie and Ellie were fast friends. We will definitely book with Sarah again in the future!”

About: My name is Faulkner, my partner Meredith and I do not currently have a dog but we love spending time with dogs! We would love to look after your furry friend! I have had a lot of experience caring for dogs. I grew up taking care of dogs. I worked at the Morris Animal Inn in NJ, where I walked dogs being boarded.

About: We love animals! We especially love caring for dogs, after our beloved golden retriever passed away 12/2024. My two children (14 and 10) and I will be loving on your pets. I own my businesses and work from home! Completely flexible schedule with plenty of time for walks and play. We’d love to watch your pet. We have a comfortable, pet-friendly home in a very safe neighborhood, just two blocks from a park with plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor time. Our yard is unfenced, so dogs will always be supervised and leashed outside. We do have one cat, so we’re only able to host pets who have experience with cats and are comfortable and safe around them.
“Princess was super awesome. My little Lexi is a very shy dog to people upfront but for some reason Lexi went differently to Princess and greeted her. She took a lot of pictures and spent the full 30 minutes walking Lexi. She made me feel at ease and made sure Lexi was safe. I 100% recommend Princess.”
“We booked Frank for dog walking and all three sessions were smooth and seamless! We appreciate having an option for someone to come in and give our girl a little extra care. Thank you, Frank!”

About: Besides my experience with my own pets I began volunteering at the Oregon Humane Society at 17. After that I went on to dog sit for various different families part time for around 3 years. I have a big window of availability currently. I’m going back to school in the fall, but until then I am just working part time. I work for my grandpa, so my schedule is super flexible! When I dog sit in the clients home I will follow your instructional list for feeding/walks/ activities/ grooming ect. I have car so I can take your pup to nearby parks/ dog parks if you would like, or just for a classic stroll around your neighborhood if you prefer. For clients that would prefer I take car if you dog in my home I have a fenced in back yard and live near several park so we can go on several adventures. Or just chill at home if you have a senior/ more low energy dog. My only deal breaker is that your dog isn’t reactive towards cats.

About: Having lived with dogs my whole life, I'm happy to help with years of experience in dog care. As a very active student with a flexible schedule, I have time and energy to help with dog walks!

You can tell our animals were well taken care of and were happy.”

About: Pets have always been a large part of my life. I have grown up with pets of all kinds; dogs, cats, chickens, horses, cows, hamsters, Guinea pigs, etc. I will always treat your pup just like my own; giving them all the unconditionally love, attention, and care they need & deserve. I work 2x days per week and spend most of my time at home with my pup, Bentley. I also watch my daughter’s dog often. I can take dogs for potty breaks frequently throughout the day, go on walks, and take them on car rides. I have a big fenced yard with one loving 9 year old lab. He loves to play fetch and tug a war and your pup can join or can play separately, whatever is needed. Also, have a pool if your pup enjoys swimming they are more than welcome to get in! I watch at all times, your dog would never be left alone in the pool or backyard. My pup loves swimming and would love to swim with other dogs. I live close to a park and can take your pup to run (off-leash if allowed) or walk! Bentley is friendly with other dogs, as well as my daughter’s dog who I often watch and take care. There will also be plenty of cuddles, loves and treats!

“Leslie was flexible given all the craziness going on with flying these days and this was so so appreciated. Bo was very happy in her home and came back happy, healthy, and ready for another stay! Plan to stay again over the holidays!”

“Moira is absolutely amazing—my dog Teddy compeltely ADORED her! She has a natural gift with dogs and made my anxious pup feel totally at ease (which is no small feat). She’s also a CHAMPION communicator, sending quick replies and the cutest updates that kept me smiling. Bonus: she’s not only affordable, but super flexible too, which made everything so easy. I swear my dog didn’t want to come back home… and honestly, I don’t blame him! Highly recommend 🐾✨”
