“Benny had a blast running around their fully fenced large backyard. Thank you both for spoiling our boy while we were away. I know he looks forward to his next doggie stay!”

“It was a relief since I left my fur baby with her right before my emergency flight. Thank God and thank her for keeping my dog safe and cared. She has a nice yard and did a great job with posting his pictures everyday. I will definitely consider Kaylee a reliable sitter.”

“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.”


“Jerrie was wonderful! She luckily had last minute availability for my pup and was very responsive. She sent pictures every day and it looked like Sage was having a blast!”

“This is a dog paradise!!! My year and a half old lab has been to 3 doggie daycares until we found the perfect place for him. I would highly recommend Roxana and Nathan to anyone that wants to know that their dog is safe and having a better time than you! Thank you Roxana and Nathan”

“AMAZING CARE!! I am beyond satisfied with the service provided by this beautiful couple, my puppy Zara was taken care of! I was nervous as this is the first time I’ve done doggy care but I’m extremely happy with overall care and experience with James!”

“Dani and her husband provided Bella with lots of fun activity and care while I was away for a birthday trip! I highly recommend Dani for others in the future. Thanks for making Bella feel comfortable away from home! Kathy”

“I wish I could give Bobbi more than 5 stars!!! We had a home project going and because of an unreliable timeline for when it would be finished, I kept having to extend her stay. Bobbi was more than accommodating and accepted Shaka's extension. She kept me well informed and sent me pictures multiple times a day. Bobbi was very responsive to my messages and got back to me so quickly. Shaka was spoiled this past week!! She loved being there, I can tell. 😊 We will only be booking with Bobbi for Shaka's boarding in the future. 🥰 Thank you so much again!!! ❤️”

“Absolutely amazing! I have never left my dog with another person who is not family before, and I was honestly a nervous wreck coming up to my trip. However Leanne was an absolute god send. I got updates with pictures as often as I liked, my dog got to tag along on hikes & picnics, and I felt 100% at ease. My Karma was taken care of like royalty & I would recommend Leanne to everybody! 500 stars ⭐️ 10,000% would book again ❤️.”

“What an awesome stay! Jesse was very kind and loving towards Poppy. I was very worried for various reasons, and he understood and kept me up to date with Poppy’s stay. And of course, Checkers was an excellent play partner for Poppy. Will definitely be returning!”

“Annmarie did a fantastic job taking care of our 3 month old fur baby!. Her communication while watching our fur baby was great and we appreciated receiving pictures of her playing and getting all the cuddles. We will absolutly book Annmarie for any future dog sitter needs and highly recomend her!!.”

Jennifer said yes and was very prompt with all of the follow-up replies. great location and setting. I will recommend her to anyone and will use her services again when needed. Thank you very much.”

“Ethan did such an amazing job taking care of our two dogs! We got daily updates on our long trip and the dogs came home tired and happy from playing! I would definitely recommend him!”

“David was great with my emotionally needy pup and clearly understood dog dynamics. Seeing Delta and another dog snuggle up together was not something I had expected to see pictures of, but she seemed to do well when left with a stranger for a week.”


“This was Toby's second stay with Dina and Irma and he was so excited to be back he remembered them taking care of him so well. We are already booking them again for 2 future stays. They are wonderful!”

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have over 12 years of experience living on a farm, caring for pigs, cows, chickens, dogs, and cats. While I love all animals, dogs and cats have always held a special place in my heart. Friends and family know me as someone animals naturally gravitate toward. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or a senior who needs extra patience and gentle care, I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm dependable, responsible, and understand how important it is to know your pet is in caring hands while you're away. I'll follow your routines, provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members and caring for them as if they were my own! I currently have a flexible schedule and spend my time between Olympia and Mukilteo. I generally work remotely, so I am available to house sit during the week or a mid day walk or check in on a break! My aim will always be to keep to your fur baby's schedule regarding walks, potty breaks and feeding. I'll provide plenty of cuddles and love when they are missing you.
“Best experience ever! Frankie was super responsive, went way above and beyond with the care she provided for our kitties, and made our whole vacation so relaxing knowing they were safe and happy! She also did a great job taking care of our house and left it clean! We will definitely have her back next time! :)”

“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.”


“Helena was fantastic! She provided regular updates including photos of our cats. We came home to very happy cats and a very clean place. Our cats seemed to warm up to her very quickly. We would definitely book with Helena again!”


About: I have had cats my whole life! I have taken care of them for others for nearly 10 years. My angel baby was 18.5 when he passed. He had diabetes and was given medication 2 times a day. I will take care of your babies just as I would my own.
About: I have had a personal dog for 10 years and have also grown up with cats my whole life. I have taken care of all different types of dogs for neighbors and friends. I have work in a boarding Facility also I have worked with dogs who have needed some behavioral help. I'm currently working part-time which gives me plenty of time to play with your animals. I make my own schedule so I can be more available as needed to animals who require more attention. I treat every pet as if it's my own. First and foremost placing the pets well being and Safety above anything else. I also treat others homes with upmost respect

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ballow
“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.
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.
“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.”

“An exemplary professional and person! Kaylee and her family were warm, welcoming, and made themselves available at every turn. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to any friend or family”


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.
“Desiree was amazing! She took Buckey on short notice, and too care of Buckey as if he was her own. Buckey had a blast at her house. Very professional. Lots of pictures! Great communication. Will for sure use Desiree in the future! Thanks again!”

“Today was Leo’s third visit with James and Julia. He really enjoys his time playing with the other doggies. James and Julia have a perfect place for dogs to be safe and have fun. I am very happy I found these young couple to look after our doggie.”

“Highly recommend Bailey and Kyle! Today was the first time he’s been to a doggy day care, and it was so worth it! Our pup made fast friends with their pup, and the pictures we received at the end were adorable! There was lots of love and tons of playtime! He will be back!”

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.
“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.”


“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!”

“Michael was very pleasant to work with for dog sitting! I also appreciated that he accepted the booking the day before my early appointment, and that he sent picture updates throughout the day.”

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.
“Kelly and Doug are so great with Winston. They are incredibly reliable for both doggy daycare and boarding. Winston always gets long walks (and longer naps) and comes home happy.”


“I can't say enough good things. Jan returned my 5:30am text (when my sister went into early labor) and accepted my puppy immediately into her home. I dropped Stella off and Jan was very receptive and welcoming. I told her Stella's Dad would be picking up Stella after work, sometime between 6 and 8pm. Unfortunately Will didn't arrive until 8:25pm due to work, but Jan was welcoming and only said great things about Stella. We highly recommend her for emergency situations as she is flexible and supportive!”

“Jeremy is amazing, he offers very professional customer service, and it’s always easy booking with Jeremy, communicating, and making changes to reservations. Dion, the great service, Jeremy cares deeply about dogs, and is kind of,, caring, and takes time to understand and accommodate their individual needs. He does a great job, caring for my senior dog, as well as my very rambunctious lab. My dogs always come home happy and tired from a long and fun day.”

“Alright... where to begin! Brian did a wonderful meet and greet with my boys (two newfoundlands) and walked them today without me..that may seem like a strange thing to say but Byron (my younger boy) refuses to go on a walk for anyone but me - not even my husband! He was perfectly fine on going on the walk with Sinjin (my older boy) and Brian. No temper tantrums, no refusal to walk. NONE of it. Brian took them on a good walk, they had fun and their were no problems.”

“Madisyn has been doing a great job walking our big rambunctious collie. She is reliable amd communicative and may have some special magic, as our cat who is normally aloof with nonfamily took to her right away and followed her to get more pets.”


About: I’ve had pets in my life since I was 2 years old. My dog was my best friend from 2-16 yrs. I was raised on a mini farm and was lucky enough to care for horses, cows, pigs, chickens, several dogs, many cats and recently goats. Nothing brings me more happiness than being around our furry friends. Currently, we have 3 miniature poodle mixes, which we love beyond words. We recently adopted a St. Bernard/Pitbull mix. We have a big dog house 24’x12’ fully fenced to board big dogs. Medium 20 lbs to extra small dogs board/daycare inside our home. We offer an alternative to traditional boarding/daycare. Our dogs are family and guest dogs are welcomed to our family pack. Animals are my passion and bring me fulfillment and joy! Providing daycare and boarding is my profession. I worked a corporate job 35 years as a director in the health insurance field. After I was laid off I decided to not go back to the long hours and stress. Instead I dove head first into following my dream of opening a pet service business. I’ve taken my business experience and love for animals to the next level. I am excellent at following the care plan you give me. I want to take care of your pet as you would with as much love as I can give them. I understand the need for pet parents to travel or work knowing their pets are safe, exercised and loved. I offer a customized experience developed just for your dog.
“I am so glad to have found Frankie for my yellow Labrador. She was flexible with scheduling, and made all efforts to accomodate any last minute requests. Jaggi was at ease with her all the time. She really took care of my dog like he was her own. I will not be looking for anyone else to sit my dog for a while. Thank you Frankie for being so awesome.”

“Tara came to our rescue when our regular sitter fell through at the last minute. We were overjoyed after the meet & greet to have someone local that clearly “gets dogs”. Plan to book with her in the future, and are so grateful for the daily updates and photos. Thanks Tara and Leo/Khali look forward to walks with you again soon!”

About: I'm from a large family farm. I have been taking care of pets all my life. Experience in dog breeding, training, care, and much more. I do this full time. I'd love to give your pets lots of love and care! My week days and weekends are flexible. I'm here to put your mind at ease while you're gone. Able to provide care as needed in your home. Able to take pet out for play if needed. Not currently able to board pets at this time.
“Ruby was amazing with my young Golden! He was so excited to see her when she arrived. I recently had surgery and haven’t been able to walk him, so it was such a relief knowing he could get out and burn some energy beyond the backyard — especially on Thanksgiving day! Ruby was right on time and even sent me a photo. Highly recommend!”

About: My goal is to provide the best dog sitting service in Mason Country. Read on for how I set out to be that special caregiver for your pets. I came to pets and pet sitting “later in life,” and discovered, with great gratitude, a passion and a gift for taking care of your precious animal companions… because that is what they are, for you and for me. I’m not a casual caregiver, or a friend; I’m not walking your dog or feeding, or talking to them, as a favor to you or as a part-time job or hobby. Nor am I in a hurry to get out of your home, or to ‘fit you in’ between errands. I own my own pet sitting business and I'm going through here to get started in a new area for new clients. My total focus is your two most precious possessions: Your pets and your property…all day long, usually 7 days a week! I’m a full-time professional pet sitter, dedicated to the loving care and the details of dogs! I believe that pets should be as happy with a sitter as they are when their owners are at home (or close to it!). As one dog owner put it: “I enjoy your notes immensely. I feel like you know my dogs as well as I do after a few short days.”… The most important goals for me are providing a consistently high quality of pet care service and developing lasting relationships with Mason County pet owners. Here are just a few of the ways that I can make a quality difference in your pets’ (and your) lives: Details I’m a detail-oriented business person who knows how important it is to follow through, in a meticulous way, the instructions you give me for the daily care of your dogs as well as your home. When I mull over situations with your pets and think about how important your home is to you, I always ask myself: “What would they do if they were here? How would they want me to proceed”? If there is any question in my mind, I contact you before taking action. I document all my actions for you, in my daily text or email, so that you don’t have to wonder or worry about the quality of care your pets and your home have received while you’re gone. As one client put it: “My goal in going with a professional pet sitter was…wanting the best for our two dogs while we were away. Carrie left it “camps without a trace,” returning the house to you as you left it. To list all the tasks she does to keep things ticking while we’re gone is more work than I want, so let’s just say, hire this intelligent woman who takes pride in her business and find out the true meaning of “getting away.” High Standard I maintain Open Communication at all times. Great communication is the key to all successful relationships. I always email clients a confirmation of their pet sitting arrival and departure dates/times, so there are no missed appointments or misunderstandings. I also write detailed daily email/text describing your pets’ activities and behaviors, including any changes I notice in their eating or sleeping or other routines – in addition to all their fun and funny ‘adventures’ when you’re gone! The level of communication I provide you, before you go and while you’re away, is an important part of my pet sitting service, demonstrating the observation skills and the focus I bring as caregiver for your pets and home! It's my main career to take care of your pets on a daily basis. So I have all the time in the world to spend time with them. I will be caring for your pet (s) in their own home where they are more comfortable than being in a boarding place. Have a wonderful day. Hope to hear from you soon
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 7 from small to big to giant, they are adorable and need love,attention, and someone to play with I'm currently working part-time in sales and I need extra money so I thought since I love animals let's do this because animals are my safe space I have a fenced yard, my room door is always closed so no other animals in the house mess with my cat or yours. I make sure all windows that can be pushed open are closed and when they are open I watch the Animals carefully

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: Been around dogs and cats since i was kid, know how to train and love them. Will show them love and care while your away from home. I'm out and about all the time easy to stop and take care of your animals and won't effect my daily routine and will show as much love as possible and can stick to any guidelines you set. You set the guidelines I will stick to them every owners different. I'm a dog and cat owner so know how it is, you set the stipulations and I'll follow them.
About: Hey y’all! If you’re reading this, thank you for considering me. I have experience for small little dogs to extra large wolf hybrids. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you and your furbabies trust to watch after them. I have been a pet owner for 11 years now so I have plenty experience. If you’re interested for me to help in the care of your babies, please let me know! I am currently a stay at home wife, I have plenty of time to myself. So I had a wild thought, why not help out some families with their pets. I live on base, so we do not have a fenced in yard. However, there are alot of places to play and go for walks.
About: I have always loved dogs. I have cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds. When dog sitting I mostly just do walks but can also play catch or frisbee with your dog if they enjoy that. I am available most days from 7am-11pm to walk your dog. I am very trustworthy, honest and reliable and will keep your dog in the best care possible. I live in Raleigh, NC and look forward to meeting you and your dog. I’m sure we’ll have fun during our time together :) *If you’re dog requires special diet, medications, or care I’m comfortable with whatever they need to be happy! Thanks, Brendan I work from home so would be happy to take care of your pet whenever is needed. Anytime 7am-11pm would be alright for me. Hopefully that sounds good to you! I live in an apartment complex. I’m walkable to several great parks nearby and would be happy to spend some time there with your dog :)
About: I have taken care of Cats for years. I had a Diabetic cat, I gave him insulin twice a day. I can give any medication, brush, play, and care for any cat. I also am very good with dogs. I am soft spoken and gentle, animals usually always connect and bond with me. I am pretty flexible, if there is communication I can be ready when needed. Honestly, animals are a priority. They're family and I want to be that reliable person for you and your fur baby. I could offer care in my home but I have 4 cats of my own, and a dog. I think in the clients home would be best for the comfort of the animal. I am probably the best person you could have in your home. I am extremely trustworthy and am there just to give quality care to your animal! I own a siding business with my family and do pet care whenever I'm needed. My schedule is usually very flexible as long as I get it on the calendar! I will do what the client is comfortable with. If you want your animals crated at certain times. I can do that. If you want them running free and getting cuddles, I can do that! I know how hard it is to trust someone in your home and with your animals. I am a very trustworthy person and can always send pictures and keep you updated and comfortable! I have even video chatted so a child would see her animals she was missing while on vacation!
“James shows up timely and sends thoughtful Rover cards with detailed notes and pictures. He's a great communicator and well organized. He is observant and pays attention to my dog's behavior and mood to always make sure my pup is happy and healthy. I definitely recommend hiring James!”

“Benny had a blast running around their fully fenced large backyard. Thank you both for spoiling our boy while we were away. I know he looks forward to his next doggie stay!”

“It was a relief since I left my fur baby with her right before my emergency flight. Thank God and thank her for keeping my dog safe and cared. She has a nice yard and did a great job with posting his pictures everyday. I will definitely consider Kaylee a reliable sitter.”

“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.”


“Jerrie was wonderful! She luckily had last minute availability for my pup and was very responsive. She sent pictures every day and it looked like Sage was having a blast!”

“This is a dog paradise!!! My year and a half old lab has been to 3 doggie daycares until we found the perfect place for him. I would highly recommend Roxana and Nathan to anyone that wants to know that their dog is safe and having a better time than you! Thank you Roxana and Nathan”

“AMAZING CARE!! I am beyond satisfied with the service provided by this beautiful couple, my puppy Zara was taken care of! I was nervous as this is the first time I’ve done doggy care but I’m extremely happy with overall care and experience with James!”

“I wish I could give Bobbi more than 5 stars!!! We had a home project going and because of an unreliable timeline for when it would be finished, I kept having to extend her stay. Bobbi was more than accommodating and accepted Shaka's extension. She kept me well informed and sent me pictures multiple times a day. Bobbi was very responsive to my messages and got back to me so quickly. Shaka was spoiled this past week!! She loved being there, I can tell. 😊 We will only be booking with Bobbi for Shaka's boarding in the future. 🥰 Thank you so much again!!! ❤️”

“Absolutely amazing! I have never left my dog with another person who is not family before, and I was honestly a nervous wreck coming up to my trip. However Leanne was an absolute god send. I got updates with pictures as often as I liked, my dog got to tag along on hikes & picnics, and I felt 100% at ease. My Karma was taken care of like royalty & I would recommend Leanne to everybody! 500 stars ⭐️ 10,000% would book again ❤️.”

“What an awesome stay! Jesse was very kind and loving towards Poppy. I was very worried for various reasons, and he understood and kept me up to date with Poppy’s stay. And of course, Checkers was an excellent play partner for Poppy. Will definitely be returning!”

“Highest Reviews for Jennifer. most sitter were very prompt in getting back to me none could accommodate my schedule. Jennifer said yes and was very prompt with all of the follow-up replies. great location and setting. I will recommend her to anyone and will use her services again when needed. Thank you very much.”

“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.”


“Ethan did such an amazing job taking care of our two dogs! We got daily updates on our long trip and the dogs came home tired and happy from playing! I would definitely recommend him!”

“David was great with my emotionally needy pup and clearly understood dog dynamics. Seeing Delta and another dog snuggle up together was not something I had expected to see pictures of, but she seemed to do well when left with a stranger for a week.”


“This was Toby's second stay with Dina and Irma and he was so excited to be back he remembered them taking care of him so well. We are already booking them again for 2 future stays. They are wonderful!”

“Jeremy is awesome and Lucy LOVED staying with him for a whole 2 weeks!!! He was always consistent about updates with pictures and videos and responded quickly to any questions we asked! 10/10 would recommend! Thank you Jeremy!!!”

“We had an amazing experience with Miranda and her family! Our dog was so well cared for, and they took the time that was necessary to let her adjust slowly. We have already rebooked for a trip planned later in the year! Excellent experience!”

“My dogs ALWAYS enjoy staying with John. My smaller couch potato dog loves his calm household with granddaughter visits. His large, fenced backyard and lots of outdoor time chasing the ball and squirrels accommodates my larger more energetic dog. I’m a repeat client and will definitely board with John again!”

“This is our 3rd time using Kristin and we have her booked again for May. She's amazing with Weatherly! Attentive, caring, kind, and my dog truly is part of the family. So much so that when we come to get Weatherly, she's always sad when we get home. Kristin is fantastic, you're pet will be loved & well cared for with her.”
