“Maggie had a great stay. I can tell she had a lot fun and was well taken care of. It was nice to pick her up and have her freshly bathed. The communication and pictures were great.”
“Bailey, Kyle and their pets are wonderful! Our dog had a blast running around their yard, meeting new buddies (their 2 dogs) and exploring a new part of town. It felt like he had so much fun he didn't want to come home and I can tell he is missing playing with other dogs now that he is home. We're excited to have Bailey and Kyle in our network when needed as they obviously understand pet behaviors and exceeded our expectations!”
“Kaylee is the best! We are so grateful for her. She provided excellent care and frequent updates. She also worked with our unpredictable schedule. We will continue to request her as long as she will have our wild and crazy fur baby. Thank you Kaylee!!!”
“I can't say thank you enough! Emily and Dean took good care of my senior dog while I got to have a much needed vacation and were even flexible to extend when trip complications arose. Communication was great and Bentley clearly enjoyed his time with their dogs. This was my first experience with Rover and having someone I didn't know take care of him. I was incredibly nervous but he was in good hands. I would definitely book with them again in the future!”
“Dani was great. It is never easy leaving your dog somewhere new, and Dani made us feel very comfortable with doing that. We will definitely use her in the future. Thanks for taking care of Bailey!!”
“Annmarie was amazing with our boy!!!! He is a shy timid dog and she was so kind and patient with him!!! I got pictures and an update every single day. She truly treated him like he was hers, I will definitely use her again and I recommend her to anyone who needs a pup sitter.”
“Bobbi is the actual best! She is deeply thoughtful and treats my dog like he is one of hers. My pup is still young and she will arrange to have other young dogs come to play. I can’t say enough good things about her and the peace I have knowing my dog is in great hands.”
“Scooby was treated like a king! Kayla’s kids always made sure he was nice and comfortable. Her husband took him on runs and he was made to feel like part of the family. We will definitely use Kayla again.”
“Jill could not be better. Our little dog was right at home with her. We had regular updates that made us feel great - knowing he was in such good hands was a load off. We will absolutely book with Jill again.”
“Jerrie is awesome!! We were in a bind last minute when our dog boarding plans fell through but Jerrie saved the day. I was able to do a meet and greet prior where my dog, Trowa, was able to meet the other sweet pups staying at Jerrie’s. Trowa instantly hit it off with the others and had lots of room to play and explore outside. Jerrie sent updates twice a day with tons of photos of all of the fun they were having which made us feel much more comfortable having Trowa stay somewhere else while we were gone. Jerrie is kind, caring, and so communicative, I definitely recommend reaching out to her for any of your furry friend needs!”
“Kaela treated Theodore like her own! He had so much fun there and came home completely pooped. She sent me pics and updates throughout his stay and it helped put me at ease. She is great!”
“Leanne was an amazing sitter for our pup, Maple, for a week. She was great at communicating and keeping us updated. Maple enjoyed her company, walks, and snuggles! I would 100% recommend Leanne and our family will definitely rebook with her again!”
“Wynona and Jeremy were fantastic! So friendly and communicative! They loved Chewie and made sure he was well cared for and happy! Thank you for taking such good care of him!”
“We left Ocho with Jeremy for 3 weeks and they did great! I got updates frequently throughout our trip and could see she was in good hands and doing well. I can't wait to book Jeremy again and highly recommend his services! Thank you so much Jeremy!!”
“Kristin was a great sitter. She promptly communicated. She was attentive to Pippin’s needs including administering her medication. Pippin enjoyed her stay and playing with the other dogs.”
“Our pup had a fantastic time with Christianna! She took wonderful care of our dog. A trip to the lake with her family, walks and lots of play time with her two dogs - even allowed on the furniture 😊. I really appreciated the pics and texts reassuring me. I absolutely would use and recommend Christianna to anyone needing a dog sitter.”
“Kelly is amazing! She is so sweet and welcoming. She took such great care of my little guy. She made sure to give daily updates with pictures on how he was adjusting to her home. I would 100% recommend Kelly to anyone looking for dog sitting services.”
“Our worried whippets had a wonderful first stay with Margaret! Our girls usually don't eat much/if at all when staying with a dog sitter because they get separation anxiety being away from their family but they ate with Margaret which told me everything. Our girls were happy, safe, and comfortable. Margaret's other dog Mochi was a sweet heart too who was patient with our nervous pups. One of our dogs is scared of any dog bigger than her but Mochi gave her space and was gentle during our meet and greet. The pictures I received showed me how relaxed the pups were, which is exactly what they needed. We have definitely found a go-to dog sitter :).”

“Katey was wonderful! She took great care of my cat, so much so that I'm not sure Starfall wanted to come home. :) She updated me with photos and videos, and was very attentive to Starfall's needs. She's very friendly and easy to work with. I plan on having Starfall stay with her in the future!”
“Brandon was so fantastic! I cannot say enough nice things. He was super responsive, the pets loved him, and he left the home spotless. He was also a great communicator. Thank you so much and we look forward to next time!!!”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, and other animals, including caring for multiple pets at once. I’ve walked and exercised dogs, helped with basic training, and cared for pets with different personalities and routines. I currently have my own two kitties who are extremely spoiled! I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal I care for. I understand that every pet has their own needs, habits, and comfort level, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and sitting around my work schedule, including weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to communicate about specific schedules and make sure I can provide your pet with the time and attention they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m respectful of your home and will carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, routines, and anything else your pet needs. I’ll keep you updated during visits and am happy to send photos so you know how your furry family member is doing. I take trust seriously and want every pet parent to feel completely comfortable while they’re away.
“Aeja did an incredible job with our drop-in visits! She was reliable, communicative, and took such great care of our dogs. We loved receiving updates and photos, and it was obvious our pups were happy and comfortable with her. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely book with her again! 🐾💙”
“Great pet sitter! She did an amazing job during her drop-in visits with my cats and provided good pictures with her updates. Would definitely use her services in the future.”
“To our relief, Alisha was available during the Christmas holidays. Our regular sitter was out of town and recommended her highly. Alisha braved terrible weather to drop in and care for our kitty. We’re grateful for her reliable service.”
“I had the best experience! Autumm was very caring and tentative during pet sitting my cat. She was also good with communicating while visiting my pet. I truly recommended. Thank you ?”
About: What sets me apart is my combination of lifelong hands-on experience and professional knowledge of animal care. I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have always shared my home with cats. Growing up, my family bred our dog, and I helped raise and potty train the puppies before they went to their forever homes. That experience taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement from an early age. Today, I’m a high school Animal Science teacher, where I teach students about animal health, behavior, welfare, and responsible care. I enjoy working with dogs of all ages, especially reinforcing good manners and basic training. Friends and family often ask me for help with training their dogs, and I love helping build confidence through positive reinforcement. I’m also experienced administering medications and following detailed care instructions, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with special medical or daily care needs. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, an adult dog who loves adventure, a senior who prefers a slower pace, or a cat who enjoys a calm companion, I’ll provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind through regular updates and photos. Since I’m a teacher on summer break I have lots of weekday availability right now. I have very flexible availability, if you don’t see the time/days you need on my schedule, don’t hesitate to reach out and ask. I have a fenced in yard and an XL wire kennel in a calm area your furry friend is welcome to use. My dog, Lady, is very sweet and gets along really well with other dogs (even her grumpy old cousin). She loves playing with others, but I can keep her separated as needed. My cat, Mister, he is okay with other dogs coming over and just hangs out in his own space until he can trust the new doggo. I will treat your pet with the love and care I give to mine. I will follow any rules, commands, and training practices that you use with your pet. I use force-free, reward-based training to build clear communication, trust, and reliable everyday behavior. I have experience with gentle leaders, no-pull harnesses, and structured collar systems when appropriate for safety and handling. I can help with: * Loose-leash walking & pulling * Leash reactivity / frustration * Basic obedience (sit, down, stay, recall) * Recall in distracting environments * Impulse control & leash manners My approach is tailored to each dog’s temperament and focuses on real-world success and consistency between sessions. I also make sure to review each pet’s profile so owners don’t have to repeat information. For severe aggression or complex behavioral cases, I’ll communicate honestly if a certified behaviorist may be a better fit.
“Brian did a great job checking in on our dogs! We were gone on a day trip and just need someone to stop bye and let the dogs out. He handled them very well, took pictures and let us know everything was okay. We will definitely we reaching out in the future 💗”
About: I have 2 cats of my own that are in door only. I’d love to care for your cat while you’re away! I understand that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I’m committed to providing patient, attentive care that helps them feel safe and relaxed in their own home. Whether your cat loves to play, prefers quiet companionship, or simply needs reliable daily care, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, fresh food and water, clean litter, and lots of love. I’m happy to follow any special instructions, including administering medications (if needed), maintaining feeding schedules, and sending regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. My goal is to treat every cat like family and provide dependable, compassionate care that keeps both you and your feline friend happy. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, respectful of your home, and truly enjoys spending time with cats, I’d be honored to help.

I always send photo and message updates so you can see how your cat is doing. Your cat’s comfort, safety, and wellbeing are my top priorities, and I treat every cat like they’re my own!

“Very pleased with Nate and Roxana’s care for my girl! She was excited and anxious and came home and crashed!! Tired girl from group okay. It was a first daycare experience and she did so great. Appreciated all the pictures and updates. Very responsive in a timely manner. I was put at ease since I was a little nervous leaving her. Great set up/property for the doggies as well! Will be booking again!”
About: -->PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BOOK<-- *I have 2 indoor cats (extremely friendly with dogs/cats) and they love to play with the pups. Make sure your pet is friendly with them too ^^ *If this is your first time with me please let's set up a Meet and Greet so you can meet me and my pets and make sure we are a good fit for your pup!! (I don't take new pets without a previous meet and greet, unless is an emergency case) My priority is to keep your pet safe, comfortable and fully entertained while you are away. Walks around the lake in our neighorhood surrounded by nature are a must do in our daily check list (sometimes we even take them to the mall to socialize and get free treats lol) As a pet sitter I'm offering house & pet walking/sitting opportunities to families (I'm willing to travel farther and pick up them by myself)! I have aided many friends & family members in keeping their pets safe to keep their stay-away stress free! I have years experience with dogs and cats. Feel free to DM for more details or if you need a better deal for long-term boarding 😊 I'm currently at home 24/7. My pets and I are used to wake up at 5:30 sm in the morning for the first "Potty Time" Breakfast between 7-8 am. Walks after midday, naps when/if they are tired. Dinner at 5 pm Generally I take my pets out for potty 3 times a day or when they ask me for. Every dog has their own personality so feel completely free to tell me their routines ❣️❣️(feeding time, potty hours, allowed or not on bed/couch etc) Max and Cleo are Great Pyrenees, 2 extremely gentle giants that love to play and take care of any kind of animals (they are very calm but they love to bark at the begging, they get tired easily after some minutes of play time). In the other hand, Kai is a medium size old doggy, he gets very excited with new pets but a few minutes later he just ignore them and likes to go back to take long naps on the couch. I have 2 friendly indoor cats, they mostly spend the day sleeping inside the bedroom or playing with the dogs from time to time.
“Great day for the dogs, we received pictures and were kept up to date how the girls were doing. We were late picking them up but James is very accommodating, would love to book with him again.”
“Kaylee and her family are awesome and we are very lucky to have her in our area! Andy loves coming to their place and see all his friends and he sees them as his other family. 5 stars is not enough to rate Kaylee.”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who knows just how important it is to leave your pup somewhere that feels like home. When I look for a sitter myself, I want peace of mind—knowing my dog is safe, loved, and having a great time. That’s exactly what I offer to you and your dog. My partner and I share our home with our happy, high-energy 2.5-year-old male pup, who we raised from a puppy. He’s super social and always ready to help new dog friends burn off some steam—seriously, he’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of playtime! My partner also grew up breeding miniature English Bull Terriers, so between the two of us, we’ve got years of hands-on experience with all kinds of dogs. When you come to pick up your dog, you won’t have to wonder how it went—you’ll know they were in good hands. Happy, tired, and well-loved—just how it should be. Pet care is built right into my daily life. I work from home, so I'm around all day to give your dog the attention and care they need. I take a midday break to walk my dog 1.5–2 miles, and your pup will be right there with us, getting exercise and fresh air. After work, we go for another walk and spend time playing fetch in the yard. With our fenced yard and dog door, they can enjoy safe outdoor time throughout the day too. Your dog will be an active part of our home life and get plenty of movement, love, and attention from morning to night. 🐶 What you can expect: One-on-one attention: I only host one dog at a time, so your pup gets my full care and focus. Daily walks and outdoor play to keep them active and happy. A dog door to our fenced yard—they can come and go as they please (safely!). A calm, secure, and loving environment where your dog can relax just like they would at home.
“Desiree was so flexible and accepted my fur babies at last minute. During the time I was gone I could tell they received lots of attention with all the pictures I received. I felt completely comfortable and will definitely book again in the future.”
“James and Julia are incredible nice, very flexible with Leo’s needs and they communicate very well with us. Leo is always happy to go to doggy daycare. We highly recommend James and Julia.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’m truly comfortable with pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities—whether that’s a high-energy pup, a shy rescue, or even more exotic companions. I’m not afraid of any animals and approach each one with patience, confidence, and genuine care. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine are my top priorities, and I’m always willing to go the extra mile—whether that means extra playtime, longer walks, medication administration, or plenty of cuddles. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to give you total peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾 I am open right now, currently a mother to twins so just wanting to get out of the house, and love up on your sweet babies! I am open to early hours and late evenings into the night to take care of your pets. I have a fenced backyard with plenty of space for free roaming and a safe neighborhood to walk around at. I love to go for nature walks around Washington and know the best spots!
“Very lovely experience. Emily and Dean have a wonderful family and home. They had a well behaved and sweet doggy. My dog had a great time. I will definitely book again when my dog sitter near my home is unavailable: Thank you. 😊 🩷🐾”
About: I just recently moved to the Shelton area and have been working with animals my whole life. Your pets are my #1 priority and I always value safety the most. It’s important to me that your pet gets the care, exercise and attention that it needs on a daily basis safely. I live on a golf course with a lake so it’s the perfect area for your pet to get fresh air with a scenic view and plenty of nature to enjoy. I’m always open to new ideas with adventures you’d like your pet to go on or how you’d like your pet to be taken care of. I’ve worked with all types of dogs from elderly/disabled to aggressive giant dogs and puppies that just had surgery. I look forward to meeting with you and your fur babies and set up a meet and greet! It is my full time job so I take it as serious as possible. I love animals and will always give them the love and care they need My home does not have a fenced back yard so I will make sure anytime they leave the house they will be on a leash to keep them safe. I have a large shop where I spend most of my down time where they will have plenty of space to run around and get there zoomies out in a safe space. There are plenty of parks around me with water access at our lake and great walking trails/paths on the golf course where I live.
“Tara is a great option for day care or overnight! She has a spacious grassy area for the dogs to run and play and her dog is very sweet and calm. There is ample indoor space as well for the dogs to get out of the rain. Tara obviously knows and loves dogs and we feel confident leaving our fur babies in her care. Thank you Tara!”
“Christine is amazing! From my very first contact with her all the way through the days she watched my “boys”. We traveled over 1,800 miles via RV & did not want to place our boys in traditional doggy daycare. They are used to quiet & I felt they would need a little extra attention. Christine did not disappoint! The boys loved her & on the 2nd day they were pulling us to her front door. We received regular text & photo updates during their days with her. I will definitely use her again when we are back to visit family & I highly recommend Christine. You & your pup can’t go wrong.”
About: I have had many types of animals my whole life! Dogs, cats, opossum, Guinea pigs, horses and a coyote pup. I treat animals like family members & give them lots of love and attention. I am retired so when I am dog sitting, I will be home the whole time. I give my dog all the attention she needs & I will do the same for yours. I only sit 1 dog at a time so that way your fur baby won’t ever feel left out. I have a fully fenced back yard where my little Morki/Shih Tzu loves to run. My husband & I make sure one of us is holding our little dog if someone comes to the door. We have dog seat belts if we need to take the dogs for a ride. I have a safe place to walk the dogs where we can stay on a sidewalk. No dog will be more cared for.
“Great sitter! My doggo Korvo loves his new friends. Michael gives lots of great tips on training and helps take care of Korvo in the morning with walks as I rush to work. Korvo’s life satisfaction has jumped and he’s much happier staying with Michael at doggy daycare!”
About: I’ve cared for animals at every stage of life, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I also have experience caring for special-needs cats and understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve cared for budgies, cockatiels, and cockatoos, so I’m comfortable with a variety of animals and their care routines. I pay close attention to each pet’s body language and behavior so I can help them feel safe, comfortable, and understood. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll provide the care they need while treating them like they’re part of my own family. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to giving every pet the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your furry family members. I’m available throughout the weekdays/weekends and have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their regular routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I can care for your pet in the comfort of your home or, if you’re comfortable with it, in my home. My yard is fully fenced, providing a secure space for dogs to play and explore safely. I understand how important it is to stay connected while you’re away, so I’ll provide regular updates with texts, photos, or calls to let you know how your pet is doing. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, giving them plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care to help them feel happy and at ease.
“Leanne took excellent care of our dogs. Our older dog requires very different care (cuddles) than the younger one (play time and walks). And even with such varied needs, both of them love Leanne.”
“I appreciated Bobbi’s clear communication and flexibility. She took great care of my dog for the day! Her house is expertly set up to assist and care for multiple dogs while meeting all their needs. I was very impressed!”

“Madisyn has been taking care of our dog Leo for several months. As witnessed from the photos she sends, he LOVES her! I come home to a contented and happy pet! Madisyn is also very respectful of our house and leaves it as she found it. We will continue entrusting Leo's care with her for months to come!”

About: Lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience! I grew up with multiple dogs and have spent years walking and caring for pets, including overnight stays. I’m comfortable with different routines, energy levels, and personalities—and I always make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. Mondays–Wednesdays are my off days and my most flexible time. I work Thursday–Sunday afternoons starting around 2, and my mornings are usually reserved for staying active—walks, workouts, or anything that gets me moving. I don’t have pets currently, but I’ve grown up caring for family and friends’ dogs and I’m comfortable with most breeds, prioritizing calm, safe, attentive care.
About: Responsible pet sitter for over 30 years. Grew up taking care of my family’s dog Bebe (chowchow and German Sheppard mix) and other family and friend's pets over the years. I have experience with a lot of different breeds and mixes. Experienced with all sizes. I work from home full time and take a lot of mandatory breaks. I live next to an arboretum and take plenty of walks throughout my day. I live alone and keep a really clean, smoke free apartment. Your pet will be under direct supervision and care throughout the day with as many check ins as needed. I am able to care for your pets in your home as well.
About: Ive grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. I spent a lot of time with my cousin being a breeder taking her dogs to shows, I have learned how to take care of dogs and how to approach the ones that can be a handful at times. I work a full time Monday- friday job but on my lunches I can stop by for check ins and walks and after work as well. Weekends are always open too. If doing check ins I can clean up any accidents and make sure they are fed and have water(depending on feeding schedules) and I always have local parks and routes pre planned for a good walk
About: I’ve cared for pets my entire life. I feel so happy to be around them always. This is very special and heartfelt for me to care for them as often as I can. I work from home full time. I am aiming to make dog sitting a more full time active part of my day. I walk daily anywhere from 1 to 3 miles. I have a roomy apartment near a dog park that I visit often. I walk 3-6 miles a day near my home. I love visiting daily.
“Mack loved Abby! And bless her for coming to give me a puppy break on such a rainy, cold day. She took Mack for an extended walk and he came back good and tired. Exactly what was needed today!”
“Tiffany was flexible with her time and walked Maximus when it worked best (evening because of the heat). You can tell instantly she’s an animal lover and w would be happy to have her walk Maximus for us again when we go out of town!!”
About: I grew up in a large family with many pets. We had five dogs and two cats growing up, and I have had my own pets since. I’ve had multiple dogs and cats over the years, though I just moved back to Washington, so I have no pets at the moment. I currently have open availability and am able to provide visits or stay over at clients homes to care for pets. I’m able to arrange arrival and departure to fit your schedule. I am able to fit whatever needs the client has. If your pets are accustomed to being out and about in the home, I can spend time with them that way. I also am able to use kennels for feeding or sleeping if that’s what they are used to. I’m comfortable keeping things tidy and making sure it’s a safe and clean space for them to hang out.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 10 years, providing consistent, attentive care for dogs of different sizes and personalities. My experience includes daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, administering oral medications, light grooming such as brushing, and, most importantly, giving plenty of love and attention. I understand how important it is to maintain a pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I’m patient, observant, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that’s extra exercise, gentle care, or simply companionship. I am currently working 5 days a week, and will be available on my days off. I miss dog sitting/dog walking as a hobby and would love to start doing it again. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs at my house, so I prefer to take care of the pets at the owners home. I would care for them by playing, taking them outside as needed, staying on a feeding schedule and possibly bathing if the owners request !
About: I’m an experienced, attentive pet sitter who understands that every animal has their own personality, needs, and way of communicating. I’m comfortable administering medications, learning commands in different languages, and working with pets of all ages and temperaments. I love enriching their lives through play, mental stimulation, affection, and activities that keep them happy and engaged, not just cared for. I run my own home stewardship business, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be intentional about the time I spend with your pets. I’m an ideal fit for pets who are comfortable being home alone for up to 6 hours while I’m working. Outside of that time, I’m fully present and love providing companionship, enrichment, play, and plenty of care throughout the day. Fully capable of spending the night as well. I provide more than pet care—I provide peace of mind. I care for your pets, your home, and their routines with genuine attention and respect.

“Samantha is incredibly thoughtful, punctual, considerate, and knowledgeable. She was very responsive and communicative from the beginning. My dog and cats responded very positively to her, and I felt very comfortable during our first meet and greet. I highly recommend her!”
“Aydin was incredibly responsive, flexible, and attentive to Moose! He went above and beyond to make sure he got the exercise that he needed while we were away, and seemed very capable of handling a larger, high energy dog like Moose. We loved getting all of the photos of Moose on their dog park outings and felt confident that he was in good hands!”

“Maggie had a great stay. I can tell she had a lot fun and was well taken care of. It was nice to pick her up and have her freshly bathed. The communication and pictures were great.”
“Bailey, Kyle and their pets are wonderful! Our dog had a blast running around their yard, meeting new buddies (their 2 dogs) and exploring a new part of town. It felt like he had so much fun he didn't want to come home and I can tell he is missing playing with other dogs now that he is home. We're excited to have Bailey and Kyle in our network when needed as they obviously understand pet behaviors and exceeded our expectations!”
“Kaylee is the best! We are so grateful for her. She provided excellent care and frequent updates. She also worked with our unpredictable schedule. We will continue to request her as long as she will have our wild and crazy fur baby. Thank you Kaylee!!!”
“Bobbi is the actual best! She is deeply thoughtful and treats my dog like he is one of hers. My pup is still young and she will arrange to have other young dogs come to play. I can’t say enough good things about her and the peace I have knowing my dog is in great hands.”
“Scooby was treated like a king! Kayla’s kids always made sure he was nice and comfortable. Her husband took him on runs and he was made to feel like part of the family. We will definitely use Kayla again.”
“Jerrie is awesome!! We were in a bind last minute when our dog boarding plans fell through but Jerrie saved the day. I was able to do a meet and greet prior where my dog, Trowa, was able to meet the other sweet pups staying at Jerrie’s. Trowa instantly hit it off with the others and had lots of room to play and explore outside. Jerrie sent updates twice a day with tons of photos of all of the fun they were having which made us feel much more comfortable having Trowa stay somewhere else while we were gone. Jerrie is kind, caring, and so communicative, I definitely recommend reaching out to her for any of your furry friend needs!”
“Kaela treated Theodore like her own! He had so much fun there and came home completely pooped. She sent me pics and updates throughout his stay and it helped put me at ease. She is great!”
“Leanne was an amazing sitter for our pup, Maple, for a week. She was great at communicating and keeping us updated. Maple enjoyed her company, walks, and snuggles! I would 100% recommend Leanne and our family will definitely rebook with her again!”
“Wynona and Jeremy were fantastic! So friendly and communicative! They loved Chewie and made sure he was well cared for and happy! Thank you for taking such good care of him!”
“We left Ocho with Jeremy for 3 weeks and they did great! I got updates frequently throughout our trip and could see she was in good hands and doing well. I can't wait to book Jeremy again and highly recommend his services! Thank you so much Jeremy!!”
“Our pup had a fantastic time with Christianna! She took wonderful care of our dog. A trip to the lake with her family, walks and lots of play time with her two dogs - even allowed on the furniture 😊. I really appreciated the pics and texts reassuring me. I absolutely would use and recommend Christianna to anyone needing a dog sitter.”
“Our worried whippets had a wonderful first stay with Margaret! Our girls usually don't eat much/if at all when staying with a dog sitter because they get separation anxiety being away from their family but they ate with Margaret which told me everything. Our girls were happy, safe, and comfortable. Margaret's other dog Mochi was a sweet heart too who was patient with our nervous pups. One of our dogs is scared of any dog bigger than her but Mochi gave her space and was gentle during our meet and greet. The pictures I received showed me how relaxed the pups were, which is exactly what they needed. We have definitely found a go-to dog sitter :).”
“Ethan did a wonderful job with my boy. He hadn’t been boarded on his own before and he had a great time! Ethan sent me updates with videos and photos each day. He was flexible with us picking up earlier than anticipated. Will definitely have him watch Enzo again!”
“My springer spaniel had an amazing time with Jennifer in the spaniel house! Jennifer was warm, excited & endearing and is an incredible caretaker for Mabel! Pictures, lick mats, snuggles & play time were all provided in surplus!”
“Really appreciate how attentive and caring Miranda was after our dog had a medical emergency. She communicated with us often and provided lots of photos and videos! It put our minds at ease knowing he was being so well taken care of.”
“Cale and his wife are fantastic. They took the time to get to know Scout at drop-off, asking thoughtful questions about her care and preferences. During Scout’s stay, we received frequent photos of Scout getting snuggles and walks on their property. And then at drop-off they shared keen observations and details about her stay. We would book again with Cale in a heartbeat.”
“My Luna baby is not great with new people but Kristin made her feel so at home!! She is truly amazing and eased all our worries!! If I could give 10 starts I would”
“Jesse was great with D'Art. He worked on some training and when I picked him up Jesse had brushed him out beautifully. I will not hesitate to book with Jesse again.”
“Fabulous Sitter. Attentive, capable, thorough, accommodating, and responsive, Drew has taken excellent care on 3 extended stays with Betty. There's a fourth stay in several weeks.”
