“Julie and her family provided a warm and welcoming household for my dog Dewey. The love for dogs is evident when you meet her and her family, and I was very happy with my decision to leave Dewey with her! She is responsive and clearly has a way with animals. I would definitely use her again or recommend her to friends and family”
“Our second fantastic experience with Jade! She is amazing in working with our recent rescue dog who normally has significant separation anxiety. Jade clearly cares deeply about our Tobey. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Shelby is fantastic! Our furbaby was well loved and cared for during his overnight stay. Great communication and photos to share updates. We will reach out to book again in the futur. Thank you, Shelby!”
“We had Gemma watch our small dog for the second time now and feel lucky to have found her. She is very kind, flexible and caring. Zoey can be anxious with strangers sometimes but that doesn’t seem to be the case with Gemma and her family.”
“Gayle is great. Her whole setup (house, yard, other pet guest, her own dog) works perfectly for my dog. It’s more like he is on his own vacation than just being boarded. Would absolutely use her again.”
“Diana was amazing with Winston she knew how nervous I was as this was the first time without my pup since I got him. She sent lots of pictures and kept in communication about him. She made him as comfortable as she possibly could her dogs made him feel a little more adventurous in the yard. I will absolutely rebook in the future! Thank you 😊”
“Jennifer was excellent at watching my german sheperd dog for a few days while I was out of state! She sent pictures and gave consistent updates on how my dog was doing. My dog, Ellie, had a great time and was right at home!”
“Jennifer is amazing! My dog, Koby, has special needs and wants lots of attention. Jennifer truly treated him like her own dog and I’m not sure he wanted to leave! I was really nervous leaving Koby for the week because I’d never left him with anyone other than family. Jennifer set me at ease right away and I got updates and pictures everyday. I’m so happy I found her!”
“I appreciate Larissa very much. I am very satisfied with Larissa’s services. Larissa is very communicative and shared updates about my pup, which I truly appreciated. I would definitely recommend.”
“Tamra kept my large GSD in her home for a week and took great care of him! He’s a sweet guy but set in his ways so one never knows how he will respond to a new situation…but it was obvious immediately that he felt comfortable with her and was well cared for: long walks, play dates with dog friends, lots of social interaction. I would 100% recommend Tamra!”
“My dog has a great time with Bradley. He seemed very happy and got plenty of attention and activity. Bradley wa great in communication, genuine affection for pups. I’d definitely look to Bradley in the future for dog sitting.”
About: I have always been “dog” person. I got my first dog when I was 5 and have had multiple dogs since. I was a dog walker for neighbors and friends during adolescence and my teen years. I will make sure your dog is well taken care of! I am currently of of work for the summer because I work for the school district. I have a lot of extra free time to occupy. I have a huge yard and a crate if needed! I also have an 11 year old who loves dogs and would love to interact with some new, friendly puppers.
About: I’ve owned and fostered both dogs and cats my entire life. I understand how stressful it can be finding someone to watch your pet when you travel- I’d love to help ease some of that. I’m comfortable administering medications and navigating the different needs of your pets. I’m currently working part time from home. I have a fully fenced in backyard and I’m home more than I’m not. I’m also training for a marathon so if you have a dog that enjoys longer walks or short runs I’d be happy to take them out for those! My yard is fully fenced and my home is kept clean. I can crate your dog or give them a separate space if that’s easier. I will follow your lead to make your dog or cat as comfortable as possible.

“Shawnee did an amazing job taking care of my cats , they both were comfortable with her right away. She went out of her way to check on a problem we had with our automatic feeder, thankful for that. We received photos daily and updates on our cats. I’ll definitely book her again when we need someone to watch over our cats.”
“Isabella was a perfect pet sitter for my two cats and my 14 chickens! She did a great job meeting all of their needs, went above the expectations by helping with packages and made me feel secure leaving my pets and farm animals in her care. I will definitely be rebooking for my next pet sitting need with Isabella. She paid attention to all the details and does a great job communicating about how things are going back at home while I travel.”
“Tamra was great with my kitty who is not very social. I was nervous that Punkin would be afraid and hide while I was away, but she took to Tamra and her home right away. I received a picture text within 5 mins of leaving her all snuggled and settled in! Tamra sent me pictures of Punkin throughout her 4 day, 3 night stay which put me at ease. I would definitely use here again.”
“Trevor was so good with our animals! We will be hiring him again. He is great at communicating and did a great job with all the pet care needs we require. Definitely recommend him!”
“McKenna was great to work with. We had a meet and greet and it went great. Our cats walked up to her and were very comfortable. One of our cats, Sonya, is very shy and with a couple of visits McKenna had her doing flips in the air with the feather on a string toy and sitting next to her. In case you are wondering how I know I have a cat cam in the front room. The next time we need a cat setter McKenna will be on the top of our list.”
“Had another great overnight visit with Alyssa. She takes wonderful care of our cat Mocha and leaves our house clean and tidy. We’ll definitely continue to use Alyssa in the future!”
About: I grew up surrounded by kittens and cats! My grandma and mom were crazy cat ladies lol. I have a Siamese cat named Mochi! I rescued him as a kitten. He was found in a trash can covered in fleas, worms, and could barely keep his eyes open from excessive mucus. I spent every 5 minutes cleaning his eyes, treated his fleas/worms, showed him love, and trained him. He’s now an indoor kitty and he will be loved for the rest of his life! He’s my little cuddle buddy💛 I’m a very empathetic, responsible, and active person! I’m available to play and always down for some cuddles from some fur babies :)
About: Having been around cats my entire life and having been a cat sitter for friends and family since I was in my early teens, I have experience in everything from bottle feeding kittens to making sure that senior cats get their medicine on time every day and everything in between! I understand that while life may make demands on our time, that our fur babies still need and deserve uncompromised attention and love.
About: I have taken care of cats and all animals since a very young age! I am very confident in cleaning, feeding, administering medications, even bathing! I used to work at a vet/daycare/grooming job and now work as a veterinary assistant and have been around cats for a long time! I have 3 happy kitties of my own!
“Alivia was great with our two golden retrievers! She did drop ins for us during the day while we were working. She brought our dogs toys and treats. Phoebe and Winston give this rover sitter a A++! We will definitely use Alivia in the future!”
About: I've had cats throughout my childhood and adult life, and I've lived with cats more often than not. What I love about cats is how varying their personalities are, and they are so unique in that sense because you often times cannot tell what they're going to be like as an adult when they're a kitten. If I had it my way, I'd be sleeping with cats in my bed every night.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a kid. I have experience with a wide range of dogs. Ranging from small dogs to large such as German Shepards and Great Danes all the way to chihuahuas. I take pride in having the patience in getting to know each animal and their needs. I have a calming caring demeanor and work hard to build trust with each animal. I have a lot of experience walking dogs, feeding, house sitting cats and dogs and am a go to for friends and family. I am currently working part time and would love to fill my schedule caring for your pets! After losing my lab a few years ago, I often seek opportunities to build connections with animals of all sizes and ages. Being an experienced dog sitter, I plan to show you and your pets the upmost respect. I have pet sat and walked a wide variety of dogs in a variety of homes and can insure you that your pet and your home are safe with me.
About: Hi! I’m Noelle, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. From a young age, I’ve been fortunate enough to grow up in a household that nurtured a love for all creatures. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, horses, pigs, hamsters, and even a few cows. This diverse experience has helped me develop a deep understanding of different animal behaviors and care requirements, whether it’s a playful puppy, a quiet cat, or a curious hamster. In addition to taking care of my own pets at home, I’ve had the privilege of helping friends, family, and neighbors with their animals, which has allowed me to build my skill set even further. I’m comfortable with everything from basic pet care tasks like feeding and cleaning up after animals, to more specialized needs like administering medications or managing animals with unique health requirements. My experience also extends to larger animals like horses and pigs, where I’ve learned about proper feeding, grooming, and the importance of creating a comfortable and safe environment. I’m highly familiar with setting and sticking to a pet’s daily routine. Whether it’s a puppy needing regular walks or a senior cat requiring extra time to relax, I take great pride in ensuring each animal’s needs are met. This experience has taught me to quickly adapt to each pet’s individual personality and preferences, making sure they feel secure and loved while you're away. If your pet enjoys outdoor adventures, I love taking them to the park, going for walks, or engaging in playtime, giving them the exercise and mental stimulation they need. On the flip side, if your pet prefers quiet time, I’m more than happy to spend the day lounging at home, providing them with companionship and relaxation. I understand that every pet is different, so I always adjust my approach based on what will make them feel most comfortable. If I’m watching your pets in your home, I’ll carefully follow the routines and guidelines you’ve set in place. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s preferences, whether they love playing outside or prefer to stay indoors, and I’ll make sure their environment is calm, clean, and loving. I know how important it is for your pet to feel like they’re in safe hands, and I go above and beyond to ensure they get the attention and care they need. At home, I have several pets of my own, so I’m used to feeding schedules, cleaning up after them multiple times a day, and giving them the love and attention they deserve. I know how important it is to keep pets happy and healthy, and I bring that same energy to every pet I care for. If I’m watching your pets in your home, I’ll take the time to understand their routine — whether they go outside or stay indoors, how you feed and interact with them — and do my best to follow your care style as closely as possible

“I was in town to visit Silver Falls SP and Sandy was the perfect sitter for Charlie. If I didn’t know better, he was sad to leave. She has a warm home and loves animals. She treated Charlie like her own and he was so happy to spend time with her. Thank you Sandy!”

“Candace is a wonderful dog mom!! From the moment we met I knew Maizie would be in good hands. Candace is warm and nurturing but also aware of the mischief puppies can get into. She sent me lots of photos throughout the day and kept me updated on Maizie’s progress. Maizie had fun meeting the other animals around the farm. We are hoping to leave her for a longer time next time. I know Maizie is looking forward to seeing Candace-mom and her new big brother playmate, Wilbur again. She had a great time!”
“Tawny was absolutely amazing with my 10 month old puppy, Stella - truly treated her as if she was her own. Additionally, she was always incredibly flexible with hours, sent awesome update photos throughout the day, and made the whole process a delight. I would highly recommend!”
“Jennifer has been an amazing sitter for Peggy, our little frenchie. Peggy is always excited to go to Jennifer’s and play with her doggy friends. She always come home happy and exhausted, which is perfect. Jennifer is very communicative, understanding, and always go above and beyond for us and our Peggy. We’re very happy to have found her!”

“Gayle was so good with our girls. She helped them get through their nerves upon our departure and was wonderful throughout the even after some displays of poor manners early on. She sent pictures and updates that kept our minds at ease. Her setup is great for the dogs and they made themselves comfortable. Can't say enough great about her!”

About: hi there! Im Dylan and I can't wait to meet you and your pet. I became a pet sitter because I adore dogs, and I can't have one of my own right now so I'm here to give lots of love and attention to yours! I'm very understanding of dogs that are a little more anxious, and provide them with a calm presence during the stay. Your pet is your family, and I understand what it's like to be away from them, even if you're off doing something fun. I'm responsible, creative, and have been described as an old soul. I love meeting new people and dogs-and being a part of a thriving community. When your dog is with me, they'll get lots of one on one attention, and lots of love !

She sent him home with a little note and goody bag, which was just so thoughtful! We are looking forward to our next visit. Thank you so much, Shelby!”
“I was a little nervous to leave my dog Lucy with a sitter because she is elderly and has special needs. Jennifer did a great job and I could tell that Lucy was relaxed and happy when I picked her up. Jennifer is a lovely person and I will not hesitate to leave Lucy with her again.”

“Hailey is INCREDIBLE. She is both professional and friendly, and my dog absolutely adored her. She worked with my schedule, was flexible, and even came to meet with me before I left for my trip. Tubby is going to miss her, so | will need to book more walks for him to get a visit:) if you're in the area, look no further than Hailey. The absolute best pet sitter/walker I've ever had the pleasure of working with.”
About: What sets me apart is the combination of experience, intuition, and calm presence I bring to every animal I care for. I’ve trained my own husky from puppyhood and lived with cats my whole life, so I understand a wide range of behaviors and needs. I don’t rush animals—I read their cues, build trust, and adjust to their comfort level. Whether it’s a long walk or quiet company, your pet will get thoughtful, grounded care that helps them feel safe and understood. Caring for animals is already part of my everyday life. My own husky keeps me on a steady rhythm of walks, play, and feeding, so adding more pets into that flow feels natural. I plan my day around their needs—morning exercise, midday check-ins, and relaxed evening wind-downs—so your pet’s routine will fit smoothly into mine. I care for pets in their own home the same way I care for mine—with respect, consistency, and calm energy. I follow your instructions closely to keep their routine familiar and stress-free. That means keeping feeding times, walks, and play sessions on schedule, giving plenty of attention, and leaving your space as neat as I found it. My goal is for your pets to feel safe and relaxed until you’re home again.

I have a huge yard and a crate if needed! I also have an 11 year old who loves dogs and would love to interact with some new, friendly puppers.
About: I have lifelong experience caring for animals of all kinds! I grew up on a farm, where caring for horses, livestock, and other animals was simply part of everyday life. Today, I continue that passion by fostering dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens through my local humane society, giving animals a safe, loving place to grow and thrive until they find their forever homes. I also have experience caring for small animals such as guinea pigs and rabbits, so whether your family includes four hooves, four paws, or tiny whiskers, they'll be in capable hands. As a teacher, I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to routines and individual needs, and I know every animal has its own personality. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs a little extra care, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax while you're away. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy making animal care a natural part of my daily routine and ensuring each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide consistent, attentive care in a calm, loving environment. You can also expect regular updates and photos, so you'll always know your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
About: I have been caring for pets my whole life; I use a positive approach to interacting with animals and have lots of patience with stubbornness. My last foster had major knee surgery and is successfully recovered and is with her forever family! I only work part time. When I am home my animals have unlimited access to the fenced back yard and as many toys as their hearts desire. I play fetch, chase, and tug on a rainy cold day; I have interactive toys as well! On nicer days we go on long walks! I treat animals like they are my kids, they take up more of my bed and couches than I do! I'm the type of person that meets someone new, but bonds with their dog or cat faster.

About: I have grown up being surrounded by dogs! My dad always had dogs in our home. I raised my pitbull/lab mixed breed dog Nala from when I was the age of Ten until she passed away when I was 21 years old. She taught me a lot about being a pet owner as well as a person! She was my best friend🤍 I am a very active, responsible, and empathetic person! I enjoy being outdoors going on long walks, hikes, and runs! I’m always down for a furry friend to tag along :) My current work schedule is 6am to 6pm Sunday through Tuesday :) I am available throughout the week on my days off for some pet care! I am respectful of other spaces! I like to stay occupied and am willing to go on adventures with your fur baby! I am full of love to give for animals. My full time job is caregiving so I’m the kind of person to place others needs before my own, but I do prioritize my health so I’m always in tip top shape for whoever/whatever needs my attention!
About: I've taken care of pets, both my own fur babies and those of loved ones, my whole life! Whether it's walking your puppy during a long work day or making sure that your senior cat gets their medication on time when you're out of town, whether it's playing with your teacup Chihuahua or your giant mastiff mix, I am well versed in pet care and understand that while life may make demands on our time, that our furry friends still deserve uncompromised love and attention. I am currently not working and am currently seeking part time employment, so my schedule is fully open! I can help make sure that your pets get what they need at the times that work best for your routines. I have considerable experience working with and being around cats and dogs of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and care needs! Whether it's a little dog with a big personality, a gentle giant dog, a lazy cat, or an active kitten, you can rely on me to stay calm and steady to provide the best possible care for your animals and to meet them where they're at in terms of need for engagement and activity.
“Trevor was great! Edith loved him and he did a great job getting good walks for her. She can be a difficult girl but he became her best friend by the end of their first walk and she would wait for him by the door.”
About: I've been an animal lover as long as I can remember. When I was 9 years old, my Dad got me my first Golden Retriever for Valentine's Day 1998. Her name was Star. I wanted a Golden because I fell in love with Shadow from "Homeward Bound". Star was my best friend, and we trained together in Canine Good Citizenry and agility. She could jump through hula hoops, over my arm, and she knew all sorts of tricks. I also love horses and used to spend summers and spring breaks on my cousin's farm in Apopka, Florida where she was the Barn Manager for a gal who rode in the Irish Olympics for the Equestrian Team. I had my own horse when I was younger, but we sadly had to sell her when my mother passed away when I was 9 years old. I've had dogs and cats off and on my entire life, but sadly, I just recently moved to Oregon and do not have any pets of my own right now for a few reasons: The first is that I'm working diligently to get established in Oregon and currently have a Mon-Thursday schedule with the City of Salem that requires me to be away from home for over 10 hours a day. Second, my roommate has a sick and aging cat who is not doing well, and we do not want to stress him out by adding pets to the house right now. Hopefully, my roommate will be able to reconsider when things change, but for now, Bok Choy (and his comfort) is our main priority at my house. Third, I'm hoping to move my Dad out to Oregon within the next 3 years, but for now, he is living alone as a retiree in Georgia, where I grew up. He is very attached to our dog Hank, and even though I'm definitely Hank's favorite person, I couldn't stand the thought of separating those two because I felt like my Dad needs Hank more than I do as Hank is his reason to get up in the morning! I miss Hank more than words can express, but I think we made the right call because Hank does not like being alone, and Dad can accommodate this as he is retired whereas I am in the main career years. I have previous dog sitting experience, but sadly, my identity was hacked, and I lost all of my photos on my Facebook account and lost many of my contacts through my old email address that I lost access to. I have also done amateur dog training and hope to get a professional certification in dog training within the next 12 months. I am happy to house sit during my work week if you only have cats that need tending after office hours. I won't be accepting house sitting for dogs unless there is an understanding of my work schedule and the dog has access to a doggy door and a yard or puppy pads are used during the day. I would highly recommend finding a sitter who can be with your dog during the business day instead of requesting me if you have dogs and need assistance during my work week (Mon-Thurs). This is a Side Hustle for me, but it also the more meaningful of my jobs because I love animals more than anything else in this world, and being around them is good for my mental health. I currently work Monday-Thursday until 4:30PM so it will be difficult for me to provide overnight dog sitting until Thursday after 5 PM unless your dog has access to a doggy door or puppy pads. I would highly recommend finding a sitter who does this full time if you need assistance during business hours Monday-Thursday. When I am at your house, your pet is my priority. If they need exercise or stimulation, we will make that happen. I will almost feel guilty for getting paid for it because it will literally be my pleasure. I will ask you to leave detailed instructions that will make my life easier and expect you to extend trust to me to do my job well. I understand it is difficult and that trust is earned and not freely given, but we need to have a clear discussion before you leave about what your expectations are so I can decide If I can meet those in a way that will not cause me undue anxiety. If you need someone after 5PM Mon-Thursday or anytime on the weekends, I am your sitter!
“Astrid took great care of my pups and helped them be secure and happy while I was out of town. When I’m in town and she walks them, I can tell by the way they greet her what a big treat it is for them to spend time with her. I appreciate Astrid’s sensitivity and creativity and skill in interacting with my two dogs who are quite different from one another in energy level so that they both get their needs met for activity and exercise and affection.”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover and pet owner. I specialize in both dog and cat care from training and exercising, to feeding and brushing. I am a proud owner of several huskies and a Siamese cat currently. I am a teacher during the day during the school year but have evenings free and any time on the weekends. I’m available most anytime during the summer months. I am a runner and a dog sport enthusiast. I frequently engage in urban mushing with my huskies. I can run or walk your dog and I am also skilled in basic dog obedience skills and pet care. I enjoy interacting with pets in ways to keep them active and happy.
About: Have 5+ dogs? Energetic kiddos that could benefit from mental stimulation? Couch potatoes that just want love and affection? All of the above? Whatever the case may be, you can rest assured that I will give your baby(ies) the best care and attention I have to give. I worked at a sanctuary for nearly two years and had the pleasure of working with a large pack of dogs. Working and caring for 50+ dogs at a time takes a different kind of attention and patience that definitely took time to learn, but I loved every second of it. I have experience with quite the variety of different dogs. From XS to XL, newborn to senior, fearful to aggressive, anxious to energetic, I’ve seen it all. I can also give medications if necessary, do a basic groom, and basic training. I’m also very comfortable with cats. Aside from having some myself for 8 years, I love learning about a new cat and understanding its habits/personality. I truly love all animals and creatures and am very open to helping care for any other pets you may have. Currently my only job is to be a dog & cat mom so my schedule is very flexible. Aside from recurring appointments that I attend, I’m open to working with what works best for you. I can work with any form of care that you give your babies. Every pet is unique and I can definitely switch gears depending on their personality and if they have specific needs.

Thanks to support from family, I have the flexibility to offer specialized, reliable pet care services. As a PSI (Pet Sitter International) Certified provider, I’m open for bookings and offer a variety of services tailored to pets of all sizes, types, and temperaments.

Pets will be returned to the care of their owner & given a summary of services provided, behavior while being serviced & any other necessary information regarding your pets experience. It is important to me to keep owners as involved & updated as possible.
About: I have been to go to pet sitter in my neighborhood all of my life. I've dealt with one neighbor's dog in particular who is a difficult dog and requires medication. Pet care is always my number one priority because if someone was taking care of my dog, I would want the same level of care that I provide. I like to learn and also know the routine of the animal I'm watching to best fit their needs and learn or change when necessary.
About: I’m experienced in caring for pets of all sizes and temperaments. I love walking dogs, teaching them new tricks and words and most of all play time outdoors. I will give them all the love while you’re away. I am a homemaker with free availability, I am usually home meal prepping or tending to the garden. I am flexible with schedules and routines to fit your needs. I have a home with a large fenced yard in NW Albany. I have two doodles in my home. We spend a lot of time outdoors especially in the morning. Lots of cuddles, playtime, and treats are shared and given throughout the day.
“We love Whitney, but, more importantly, our dog does! He's a bit skittish and slow to warm up to new people, but he looks forward to his daily walks with her (I can tell because he gets depressed on weekends when she's not there ;) ) She's reliable and quick to communicate, and we trust her with Bismarck.”

“Our second fantastic experience with Jade! She is amazing in working with our recent rescue dog who normally has significant separation anxiety. Jade clearly cares deeply about our Tobey. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Shelby is fantastic! Our furbaby was well loved and cared for during his overnight stay. Great communication and photos to share updates. We will reach out to book again in the futur. Thank you, Shelby!”
“Gayle is great. Her whole setup (house, yard, other pet guest, her own dog) works perfectly for my dog. It’s more like he is on his own vacation than just being boarded. Would absolutely use her again.”
“I appreciate Larissa very much. I am very satisfied with Larissa’s services. Larissa is very communicative and shared updates about my pup, which I truly appreciated. I would definitely recommend.”
“Tamra kept my large GSD in her home for a week and took great care of him! He’s a sweet guy but set in his ways so one never knows how he will respond to a new situation…but it was obvious immediately that he felt comfortable with her and was well cared for: long walks, play dates with dog friends, lots of social interaction. I would 100% recommend Tamra!”
“My dog has a great time with Bradley. He seemed very happy and got plenty of attention and activity. Bradley wa great in communication, genuine affection for pups. I’d definitely look to Bradley in the future for dog sitting.”
About: I have always been “dog” person. I got my first dog when I was 5 and have had multiple dogs since. I was a dog walker for neighbors and friends during adolescence and my teen years. I will make sure your dog is well taken care of! I am currently of of work for the summer because I work for the school district. I have a lot of extra free time to occupy. I have a huge yard and a crate if needed! I also have an 11 year old who loves dogs and would love to interact with some new, friendly puppers.
About: I’ve owned and fostered both dogs and cats my entire life. I understand how stressful it can be finding someone to watch your pet when you travel- I’d love to help ease some of that. I’m comfortable administering medications and navigating the different needs of your pets. I’m currently working part time from home. I have a fully fenced in backyard and I’m home more than I’m not. I’m also training for a marathon so if you have a dog that enjoys longer walks or short runs I’d be happy to take them out for those! My yard is fully fenced and my home is kept clean. I can crate your dog or give them a separate space if that’s easier. I will follow your lead to make your dog or cat as comfortable as possible.
“Jordan is seriously a dog whisperer. His energy and confidence is God send. My dog Cedar can be reactive, barking, jumping, even nipping when meeting people but with Jordan, it was like a completely different dog. Calm, relaxed, and instantly comfortable. I was in total shock. Even around another dog (which normally worries me), Cedar was in dog heaven. No issues at all. I went in nervous and left totally at ease. THANK YOU Jordan for making my vacation that much better. If you’ve got a challenging dog, Jordan is your guy, Just go with Jordan.”
“Chandra was great with our pup, Ivy! We had a last-minute change in our original booking and she was very accommodating. We got lovely updates and would definitely book with Chandra in future!”
“Michael did a great job with Kermit. He is compassionate and contacted us with concerns. Kermit was treated like part of the family. Frequent photos were really appreciated.”
“Allison was amazing with our pup! Pepper loved her right away and I could tell from the meet and greet that this was a great fit. Allison was communicative, engaged and helpful with every step of setting up our dog’s boarding. She sent pictures and updates during our trip so we knew our girl was happy and cozy. We are excited to have found someone we feel so comfortable leaving our girl with and will definitely be connecting with her again in the future!”
“Tracy was such a wonderful sitter for our doggo. Even when our pup needed some medical attention, Tracy kept us we'll informed, took our dog to our vet and administered meds appropriately. It was reassuring knowing someone was caring for our dog as well as we would.”
“Kathrine is an AMAZING sitter! I went out of town for 5 days and left my pup with her at her home. I immediately felt comfortable leaving her there when I dropped her off. She sent pics, videos, and updated me on all things (eating, pooping, etc.). Her dog, Ophelia, was the sweetest companion and I could tell her and my dog were besties from the pics she sent! They went on multiple walks a day, and even a weekend adventure! I will definitely be using Kathrine again in the future!”
“Denali seemed to have a great time at Tawna and John's, we picked her up and she was tired and happy. She was pretty dirty, but that is to be expected at a farm stay (especially with a long haired dog). They were easy to communicate with.”
