“Crystal, Joel, and family are the best! Repeat sitter for our two beagles over a couple years now. Photo updates, and communication is excellent, and as always, their patience goes above and beyond for our two (barky) pups! Thanks, you all!”
“Katelyn was an amazing host, she was so good with Chaucie, and loved his time with Gus. She was very attentive to him, did everything asked in making him feel comfortable. Sent pictures and video to update me, will definitely use her again”
“Claire did an amazing job with our dog. She was consistently sending updates and pictures. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to dogs and I know our dog was well taken care of. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Denise is kind and caring. She has taken great care of our little Terrier and always updated us as well while we were away. Thank you Denise! We so very much appreciate you!”
“First time booking on Rover and it was great! I was a little hesitant booking at first but now I can’t recommend this app enough. Keith and his wonderful family made me feel comfortable and safe leaving my fur babies with them. A few days before my booking Keith offered a meet and greet, to make sure my dogs were familiar with the area. They were flexible with drop off and pick up times and responsive to any questions I had. I got daily updates and pictures. My dogs were very well taken care of and loved! The kids helped my dogs not feel lonely and scared being in a different environment. They played with them and cuddled up on the furniture. Keith and his family took amazing care of my dogs like their own. I can’t recommend Keith and his family enough. I would 100% book with Keith again!”
“Shay was great to work with! Dennis had a great weekend and I got regular updates and pictures on how he was doing! Would definitely use her again in the future. Thanks for taking such great care of our Dennis:)”
“She did an amazing job taking care of my Belgian Malinois puppy! If you're looking for a sitter that is kind, attentive and easy to work with, i'd highly recommend booking Brittany. I greatly appreciate her help, it was well worth the money”
“Caitlin was easy to communicate with, and her house is perfect for pet sitting, replete with a grassy backyard and dog door. Comfy, clean, welcoming environment. You can tell she really cares for the pets in her charge. Future repeat customer!”
“Amy & Robert are great pup sitters, and Oakland is a wonderful doggie host 🐾 lots of communication, care and kindness. I think Maple is a bit sad to be home 😆 We will definitely use them again! Thank you!”
“Diane was great! Lilly seemed comfortable there and it’s nice to have the fenced in backyard since we don’t have that at home. I appreciated the updates and pics over the weekend!”
“Cecilia was so wonderful with Daisy. The daily updates and pictures were great. It almost seemed like she was with her second family ? I would definitely recommend Cecilia and use her again!”
“Sarah and Anthony were the perfect sitters for our little dog. They also have a big dog and small dog to keep her company. Their house is very dog friendly as are they, thank you so much for taking such good care of her and sending pictures. This experience could not have been better!”
“Cory, Matthew and their daughter were gentle and patient with our little timid dog. They were accommodating in feeding, treats, and bedtime routines to make her comfortable, and even gave her some snuggle time in the morning. They have a great setup in their home and back yard for a dog, and ours came home healthy and happy. We’d gladly ask this family to board our beloved pooch again!”
“Lindsey and her husband were excellent communicators and took great care of my fur baby ( senior dog) for 12 days. I appreciate how accommodating they were especially as my trip was at the peak of the line and flight issues at airports.”
“💯 recommend Tessa and her family. They are absolutely wonderful. Ruger loves going there. I am Abel to leave him and not worry about his care. I know he is in good hands with them.”
“Destiny was flexible and accommodating to my schedule. I liked the perodic update photos of Snowball eating,relaxing,going on walks, and playing with her dog Max. Her home is very dog friendly and I would definitely rebook.”

About: As a pre-veterinary student, I understand that every cat is different. Some are social and playful, while others need time, patience, and a calm approach to feel comfortable. I always let cats interact at their own pace and work to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I'm experienced caring for cats of all ages, including seniors and those with special medical needs. I'm comfortable administering medications when needed and pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, litter box habits, and overall well-being. Whether your cat enjoys play sessions, quiet companionship, or simply having someone dependable to care for them while you're away, I'll provide attentive care and regular updates so you can relax knowing they're in good hands.
“Truly the most wonderful cat sitter in the world. So kind, loving, and patient. She truly cares for my cat and I know he is in the safest care while I am away. We so deeply appreciate you Emily.”
“Mia was absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond to take care of my two kitties! She was very communicative and always let me know if she was going to need to come over at a different time. The kitties seemed very comfortable with her and I will absolutely book with her again!”
About: I have two boy cats! One 7 year old who I have had since he was 3 months old and a one year old who I got at 5 months old. I have always lived with at least two cats in the house and at the most 4 cats. I have a ton of experience with cats and an understanding of what they need whether it’s affection, space, food, or play. I absolutely adore not only my cats but all the cats I meet. I have cat sat for multiple friends and family. The most I have cared for at one time was 4 cats and one dog.
“It was a quick and simple visit, but Caitlin went above and beyond to take care of my kitties. She spent time with them and even sent me pictures of them eating their food. Top notch sitter!”
“Caralisa took such great care of our kitty, we are definitely booking her again!!! Thank you for going the extra mile and giving us peace of mind while away on vacation🤍”
“Anabelle took a good care of Bear (male cat) over the last two weeks through her daily visits. She made sure Bear got everything he needed. I loved getting Ana's daily updates and photos of Bear—it really gave me peace of mind. Thank you, Ana. I appreciate you.”
“This was my first time ever using the Rover app and getting a pet sitter for my 3 cats. I was very nervous about leaving the cats at home during our 4 day trip since it would’ve been their first time being alone for a long period of time. However, Kristine was very good with the cats and very reassuring! She followed the instructions I had left, made sure the cats had what they needed, played with them and snuggled them! Of course, she sent photos of the cats during her daily visits and a detailed description of what was done that day. Which was amazing for easing my anxiety about leaving my pets at home. I definitely recommend Kristine for watching your fur babies and I will totally reach out to her when needed in the future! Thanks Again!”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life and have cared for them through every stage of life. I raised both of my dogs from puppies. One lived to be 18, and the other was with me for 15 years. I also raised a cat from a kitten who lived to be 16 and adopted an adult cat who stayed with me well into her senior years. Caring for my own pets from their earliest days through their senior years gave me experience with everything from puppy and kitten care, to medications, mobility changes, and noticing the little things that can make a big difference in their comfort and quality of life. Friends and family have always counted on me to care for their pets while they’re away, so I’m comfortable with a wide variety of personalities, routines, and medical needs. I know every pet is different, and my goal is to help yours feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
About: We have a cat of our own! As well as a dog that gets along great with our cat. If needed we are able to separate them. Would happily house your cat or come take care/check on them.
About: I am a walker/sitter that loves animals. I have shadowed service dog programs, police K9s, and basic obedience. I graduated Lane Community College in biology with an emphasis on zoology and animal behavior. I have pet sat and worked with dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, reptiles, and other exotics. I’ll treat your pet like my own! I can do walks or drop in visit care. I am available: Sunday: 6am-10pm Monday: 6am-10pm Tuesday: 6am-8am, 2pm-10pm Wednesday: 6am-8am, 2pm-10pm Thursday: 6am-8am, 2pm-10pm Friday: 6am-10pm Saturday: 6am-8am, 2pm-10pm I treat all animals like my own and can do drop in visits for walks, stay for play time, or just spend time with them the way they need it. If they enjoy dog puzzles, brain games, or chews I can provide them.
About: I’ve owned my own kitty since 2010 and previously her brother who was special needs. I also have fostered kittens and nursed them back to health we found on our property until a rescue took them in.
About: Hi, I'm Madeline! I'm always active taking my dogs for long walks and hikes, or to the local dog parks. I'm a lifelong dog lover, and proud dog mom. While I’m new to Rover, I bring years of trusted experience walking and sitting dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages from playful 8-week-old puppies to wise 13-year-old seniors. The dogs I'm carrying in the photos have been family to me since they were pups, and ones I've had the pleasure of looking out for. Friends and family have relied on me time and time again, one even called me a dog whisperer after watching me connect with their strong-willed pointer mix! I’ve studied basic training techniques through a puppy obedience course, guidance from a professional trainer, and good ol' YouTube. These tools help me better understand each dog’s energy and needs, whether they’re high-reactive adventurers or mellow cuddlebugs. My goal is always to make your dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet because I’d love to connect with you and your pup! Whether your pet needs regular daily walks, last-minute check-ins, or extended sitting while you're out of town, I’m here to help. My open availability means I can easily accommodate your pet’s routine and make sure they get consistent care and attention. I've had the pleasure of dog sitting and walking for close friends and family, always making sure to follow any specific instructions provided. Since summer days can get especially hot, I’m always prepared by carrying a bag with essentials like water, a bowl, treats, poop bags, and a frisbee. For my dogs, if the pavement is too hot (I always check with the back of my hand), they wear protective boots to prevent burns, and if you're dog has some little booties, I'll make sure their paws stay protected and take frequent shade breaks. On those extra hot days when it’s safer to stay indoors, I make sure my dogs still get their energy out with games, enrichment toys, and fun training tricks. I love keeping things playful while prioritizing safety and well-being.

“Super friendly and took great care of Piper! Super easy drop off & pick up! Made our day going to the Ducks game stress free knowing she was being well taken care of. Thanks!”
About: As a pre-veterinary student, I provide more than just pet sitting—I bring knowledge, patience, and a genuine passion for animal care. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and other small animals through both personal ownership and animal care work. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals with special needs, including administering medications when needed. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll provide attentive, reliable care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind. I'm currently home for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Aside from occasional appointments and errands, I'm home throughout the day. Caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, as I have pets of my own with established care schedules. Adding your pet into that routine allows me to provide consistent feeding, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, medication (if needed), and plenty of companionship. I always work to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, medical needs, and any household rules so I can provide care that's both safe and consistent. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and closely supervise interactions. I carefully introduce new situations at each pet's comfort level and never leave animals in unsafe situations. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the home and the animals with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any specific care requests exactly as directed. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. As a pre-veterinary student, I'm attentive to changes in an animal's behavior or health and won't hesitate to contact you—and, if necessary, seek veterinary care—if I have concerns.
About: I've been lucky to have dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, that is 50+ years of wagging tails. I know how important consistency is for keeping dogs calm, especially when they're staying somewhere new. My goal is to make their time with me feel as close to "home" as possible. Whether your dog (aka family member) wants snuggles, a cozy nap spot, playtime with my dog, or a little quiet space to themselves, I follow their lead and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m currently in between jobs, which means I’m home full‑time and able to give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day/night. My home is relaxed, warm, and set up for dogs to feel comfortable from the moment they arrive. I keep things safe, clean, and low‑stress, and I follow each dog’s natural rhythm — whether that’s playtime, naps, snuggles, or simply hanging out nearby. I share my home with my young male mix‑breed dog (born 12/6/24), a poodle/wire‑haired terrier mix who’s neutered, well‑behaved, and absolutely loves meeting new dog friends. He’s gentle, social, and always happy to have a buddy around, but I also make sure every visiting dog has space and downtime whenever they want it.
“First time using Rover and Joshua made this experience amazing, Frankie had the best time and even left with some homemade treats! I will be a repeated customer!”
“Denise was the best with our little yorkie while we were in town for a graduation. She took care of him during the day and he was calmer than usual and happy! Thank you again Denise!”
“I appreciated Claire's thoughtful intake process, her speed at replying, and her feedback from my girl's visit. Claire clearly cares about dogs and facilitating doggie-people relationships. I recommend her and look forward to booking future stays with her.”
“Ruthie was excellent with my pup. Sent lots of photos, provided top notch care, and made sure he got a mix of inside & outside time. I would definitely let Ruthie watch my boy again!”
About: Safety is always my number one priority while pet sitting. I make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and cared for in a safe environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and owner guidelines to keep every pet healthy, comfortable, and protected at all times. Although I do work a part-time job, I try my best to fit pet sitting in my schedule because it’s what I love to do! Animals will always be well taken care of, I insure that your pets will be let out before I have to take off for work, making sure water is full and fresh. I will be back to love and care you’re pet in a timely manner! Although I do not offer boarding, I prefer watching animals in their owner’s home because I feel like it makes the animals more comfortable to be in a well-known environment. My biggest priority is making sure the owners have peace of mind while they are away and know that their animals are in a safe hands.
“Valerie is so kind! So amazing! She was very attentive and sent photos throughout the day to keep me updated. As well as taking care of her just as well as I would if not better! I will definitely be using her again!”
“Mari and Steve provided a wonderful experience from beginning to end. They took extra care to make our dog and us feel at ease, communication was quick, and our dog left daycare happy and well loved!”
“Jennifer and Josh are so kind and caring and it is clear that they have a solid understanding of different dog temperaments and how to manage a harmonious pack dynamic. I felt confident leaving my 4 month old puppy with them and loved getting pics and videos of Millie through the day. Thanks so much!”
“I’ve never been more pleased with a Rover booking! She ensured that both I and my pup, June felt comfortable and safe. Cierra even dealt with an upset tummy my pup unexpectedly had. Would recommend to anyone!!”
“I visited Eugene and needed some day care for my pups. Morgan is the first sitter I’ve felt totally comfortable leaving my dogs with in a long time. They both have their own unique personalities that require a watchful eye; Morgan was able to assure me they would be safe and upon meeting her I instantly knew they would be. She even went out of her way to help transport them at the end of day. Highly recommend Morgan (shoutout to her adorable dog Clover)!”

“Shay really impressed me with her promptness and her demeanor. She asked great questions and did everything I asked her to do. She was very caring and sent great updates with pictures. I would highly recommend her… and so would Mason! 😊”
About: I’ve had dogs, cats, fish, lizards, guinea pigs, hamsters, a snake, and even a chinchilla throughout my life, so I’ve truly never known life without being surrounded by animals. I’m a huge animal lover, and caring for them has always come naturally to me, whether they’re my own or belong to family and friends. I have roughly 10+ years of non-professional experience and 3 years of professional experience caring for pets, including pet sitting and working with animals of different personalities and needs. A lot of the photos on my profile are actually with pets I’ve cared for, pet sat, or even strays I’ve come across and helped. I also love the outdoors and hiking, so if your pet enjoys being active or going on little adventures, I’m more than happy to bring them along in a safe and fun way. At the same time, my current pets are total couch potatoes who love to relax and lounge around, so I’m just as comfortable matching that calm, low energy vibe. Whether your pet is playful or prefers to take it easy, I’m attentive and focused on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and caring for them. I currently live with my roommate’s 2 year old cat, so I’m used to daily care and attention. I also will be helping care for a new dog starting later this year, which I’m really excited about. I’m flexible and able to plan my schedule around pet care needs, whether that’s daily visits, walks, or spending extended time with your pets. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pets are well taken care of while you’re away. I currently live in an apartment and keep a clean, calm, and pet safe space. That being said, I’ll be moving into a townhome with more space at the end of August. No matter the space, I’m attentive, patient, and committed to creating a secure and loving environment for every pet I care for.
About: Ever since I was 8 years old I have been responsible for feeding, cleaning up after, walking and teaching simple tricks to our family pets. Family and friends have relied on me to not only give necessary care to their pets but make sure they are receiving all the desired attention, play time, and alone time. Since I have grown up with pets my whole life I have a great understanding of how to read cat’s and dog’s body language to know how they are feeling in different situations. I am currently living with two boy cats of my own and they are my babies! I’m currently a full time student looking for a way to get money to help with bills by doing something I’m passionate about, loving animals. I’m available to sit on weekends Friday - Sunday, and available after 2 pm on weekdays for whatever your fur baby might possibly need, may be available for overnight stays during week days depending on location. When caring for your pet in your home, I prioritize safety, trust, communication and a clean environment. I will carefully follow all instructions provided to me including feeding or bathroom schedules, medications or any special needs. I keep the house secure by keeping doors locked and avoiding anything that could put your fur baby at risk. I am more than happy to communicate with regular updates if desired! I will also be sure to clean up after your pet and leave your home same or better condition than I found it.
About: I have been caring for animals my entire life, having grown up with pets. My experience includes daily care, feeding, exercise, grooming, and companionship for both dogs and cats, which are my primary areas of expertise. In addition, I have hands-on experience caring for farm animals, such as horses. Animals have always been a passion of mine. Growing up, my dream was to own a no-kill animal shelter, and that passion continues to guide the way I care for every animal I meet. I am patient, dependable, attentive to animals needs, and committed to providing them with a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me lots of extra free time and flexibility. I am also a college student at Lane Community College and as we are on summer break I have so much extra time on my hands. I care for pets by knowing the clients environment and understanding what makes the pet feel the most comfortable. Being able to read and assess how the pet is feeling is a huge part of my service. My main goal is to leave you with zero doubt when trusting me with the care of your pet.

About: I got my first pet at 18, a kitten who was from a stray in the neighborhood. We had her and her brother for 16 years, as well as two pit bull mixes that 14 & 15 years. Now we are just down to a 1.5 year old rescued chihuahua mix. I’ve fostered over 30 dogs and a few kittens, volunteered at our local animal shelters and worked events trying to find pets loving homes. I love caring for animals and being a person animals trust. I am a self employed person so my schedule is very flexible, I take my own dog on daily walks and can fit things in easily. My animals are the center of my world and I am always wanting them to be safe, comfortable and loved. I will do the exact same for your babies within your household boundaries. But mine will always sleep in my bed! :)
About: I have been a regular dog and house sitter for a family in the Eugene/Springfield area for 5 years. The family had 3 dogs. Duration of length of pet and house sit varied from one overnight to a month. I have also done feline check-ins for a a friends. Have done one-time-only pet sits for other people and regular pet sits for housemates with their own pets. I'm currently unemployed. I have ample time to prioritize care for your pet. I am seeking part time employment. If found, this will extend the hours of day that your pet is left alone in the house. I am attentive. If you have a dog, we ARE going on walks and WILL play. I follow instructions as to food quantity and medication administration. I clean up pet waste. I water gardens. Will do some cleaning during my stay if you'd like. Will clean up after myself and your pet.
“Chandlor did a great job walking my two dogs - together and separately. They greeted him with enthusiasm and came back well exercised. You can tell he has dogs of his own & knows how to communicate with them. Thanks, Chandlor”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for nearly 2 decades now (holy cow! I’m old enough to say that. Woof! ((No pun intended)). I’ve looked after dogs of all sizes. Cats of all attitudes. And even a few birds! I have a nearly 10 year old pitbull named Bindi, and she is a baby girl. I rescued her from a shelter when she was 8 weeks old and she has been by my side ever since. She and I did a lot of training together and I am used to working with big, powerful breeds. I’m currently a stay at home mom, so when my kiddo starts school this fall, I will have a lot of extra time to be able to help others take care of their fur babies. Before having my kiddo, I worked full time, so I understand the importance of needing a trusted person to help out sometimes. When I rescued my pitbull, Bindi, I knew there would be a lot of people out there who would judge her just because she was a pitbull. I knew I had to be extra careful not to let her get loose (even though she was trained). So I’m a huge advocate for tags on collars, collars fitting correctly, always using a leash when not in a fenced backyard. In addition to pet sitting, I’ve also house sat for many neighbors and friends over the years. I am respectful of other people’s things and spaces, and can be trusted to follow the directions that are given for each visit or walk.
“AJ is amazing, I really trust her with my home and my dog Milo. She’s always very flexible and knows what she’s doing. I truly feel like my dog is taken care of when he’s with her. 10/10 recommend and will also be using her consistently”
About: I love all critters and have an especially soft place in my heart for the elderly and/or disabled. I started by volunteering for neighbors friends on trips or working 12 hours shifts, just to stay busy, and it was awesome to see how my daily visits helped their overall health over time. Visiting with critters is always the highlight of my day. I move slowly, carefully, speak softly, so my energy is a great fit for older or anxious animals. I love them all, and every step. Greeting, walking, playing, chilling, pets and massage, special diets, and I have no problem helping administer medicine or any extra special care that is needed. It would be an honor to be of service for you and your fur baby :) I am flexible and available, single, no kids, and also a home care worker. I only work 4 hour shifts, so pet care can very easily fit in and around my other work schedule. When I meet you and your pet, you can show me the care routine, and I will confirm that I understand every step. What works well is if the supplies are visible and steps are also written down and left somewhere I can refer to if needed. I will take photos to either text or email you while I am at your home with an update for each visit.

“Maddie is great! My dog needs a little extra and she is very patient and kind with her. Annabelle is always excited to see her and she gets a great walk everyday. With my busy schedule it's been a lifesaver!”
About: Hello, I work as a caregiver and an am CPR and 1st aid certificated along with having professional experience in medication administration. Most of my pet experience comes from having my own pets as well as helping to care for family pets while growing up. I grew up helping to care for the geese and dogs and as a teen, I had fancy rats, a cat, and a (family) dog I was responsible for. As an adult, I have my own pets and believe in positive reinforcement training with my cats and dog. I administer my own pets medicine as needed as well as do most of their grooming myself. When I'm not at work caring for others, I enjoy spending time with my pets at home and out in nature and the community. Please check my calendar for my availability. As a caregiver, I understand the importance of a clean, safe space to live and work in. I clean as I go and always do a room check before and after cleaning to ensure I got everything. When out in the community, I always check my surroundings and am mindful about what's on the ground and what's going on.
About: As a professional dog groomer, I bring a calm, confident energy to every pet I work with, whether they're full of zoomies or need a gentle touch. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs, including seniors and pups who are still learning the ropes. I’m attentive to body language and behavior, and I know how to make pets feel safe and cared for. I’m especially good with anxious dogs and can provide a spa-like level of patience and calm. Whether it’s giving meds, brushing out mats, or making sure your dog’s routine is followed to a T, I’ve got it covered. Your pets will be treated like my own—with love, respect, and plenty of snuggles (if they want them!). I have been a dog groomer for 8 years and counting! I am very familiar with dogs and their body language, needs, and health. I tend to like animals more than people. I would love to get some exercise with your pup or stop in and give some loves. Feel free to message me if you have any questions. We can also work around my schedule :) Thank you for taking the time to read. I work Friday through Monday but can always stop in before and after work. I have a very flexible schedule, and I am available for walks before and after work as well. When I care for pets in their home, I focus on keeping things calm, consistent, and tailored to each animal’s unique needs. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages and temperaments—my own pup, Bennie, is a miniature poodle who’s full of energy and personality, so I’m used to regular walks, playtime, and keeping up with routines! I love offering drop-in visits and dog walking because it lets pets stay comfortable in their own environment. I make sure to follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, respect your home, and give your pets lots of attention and care. I'm also happy to send updates and photos so you know your furry friend is in good hands. Walks are paced to your dog’s comfort and energy level, with safety as my top priority. Whether your dog loves to explore or prefers a short, relaxed stroll, I’m here to make sure they feel happy and loved.

“Crystal, Joel, and family are the best! Repeat sitter for our two beagles over a couple years now. Photo updates, and communication is excellent, and as always, their patience goes above and beyond for our two (barky) pups! Thanks, you all!”
“Katelyn was an amazing host, she was so good with Chaucie, and loved his time with Gus. She was very attentive to him, did everything asked in making him feel comfortable. Sent pictures and video to update me, will definitely use her again”
“First time booking on Rover and it was great! I was a little hesitant booking at first but now I can’t recommend this app enough. Keith and his wonderful family made me feel comfortable and safe leaving my fur babies with them. A few days before my booking Keith offered a meet and greet, to make sure my dogs were familiar with the area. They were flexible with drop off and pick up times and responsive to any questions I had. I got daily updates and pictures. My dogs were very well taken care of and loved! The kids helped my dogs not feel lonely and scared being in a different environment. They played with them and cuddled up on the furniture. Keith and his family took amazing care of my dogs like their own. I can’t recommend Keith and his family enough. I would 100% book with Keith again!”
“Shay was great to work with! Dennis had a great weekend and I got regular updates and pictures on how he was doing! Would definitely use her again in the future. Thanks for taking such great care of our Dennis:)”
“She did an amazing job taking care of my Belgian Malinois puppy! If you're looking for a sitter that is kind, attentive and easy to work with, i'd highly recommend booking Brittany. I greatly appreciate her help, it was well worth the money”
“Caitlin was easy to communicate with, and her house is perfect for pet sitting, replete with a grassy backyard and dog door. Comfy, clean, welcoming environment. You can tell she really cares for the pets in her charge. Future repeat customer!”
“Cecilia was so wonderful with Daisy. The daily updates and pictures were great. It almost seemed like she was with her second family ? I would definitely recommend Cecilia and use her again!”
“Sarah and Anthony were the perfect sitters for our little dog. They also have a big dog and small dog to keep her company. Their house is very dog friendly as are they, thank you so much for taking such good care of her and sending pictures. This experience could not have been better!”
“Cory, Matthew and their daughter were gentle and patient with our little timid dog. They were accommodating in feeding, treats, and bedtime routines to make her comfortable, and even gave her some snuggle time in the morning. They have a great setup in their home and back yard for a dog, and ours came home healthy and happy. We’d gladly ask this family to board our beloved pooch again!”
“💯 recommend Tessa and her family. They are absolutely wonderful. Ruger loves going there. I am Abel to leave him and not worry about his care. I know he is in good hands with them.”
“Destiny was flexible and accommodating to my schedule. I liked the perodic update photos of Snowball eating,relaxing,going on walks, and playing with her dog Max. Her home is very dog friendly and I would definitely rebook.”
“Joshua could not have done a better job! He was able to accommodate a very last minute, longer term stay with my puppy. He was quick to respond, flexible, great with my dog, and excellent at communicating while I was gone. My pup can be a bit of a handful right now since she is young and still learning basics, but Josh was very understanding and patient. I will absolutely use his services again in the future.”
“Erin did an exceptional job of communicating with me about how Mitzi was doing during their first time together. Without my asking- Erin sent photos of Mitzi with a brief comment. I will definitely use Erin again if the need arises.”
“Great care for our Minka! Consistent updates with pics. Daily trips to the dog park. Very pleased with the care of our dog. Will definitely continue to use them in the future.”
“Julie was great! We needed a sitter last minute and were nervous to leave our pup with someone we don’t know too well. Julie sent us lots of pictures and updates. We will definitely rebook!”
