Personalized care for your dog or cat - Bunker
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Bunker
“Angela graciously accepted our last-minute boarding request for our cat and was incredibly accommodating, even when our we were delayed due to traffic and weather. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease—she is warm, caring, and clearly loves animals. She thoughtfully kept our cat separate from her dogs, which we really appreciated. Throughout the stay, our cat seemed comfortable, relaxed, and happy. Angela provided timely updates and was always quick to respond to our questions. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”
“I think this will be the easiest 5 star review I’ve ever written. Scott took incredible care of our dog, Tucker. He kept him for several days while we were out of town visiting family. Scott made sure to set up a time for us to visit him and his partner, Kevin, at their home and give Tucker a chance to meet their sweet boy, Nico. They became instant play buddies. Scott asked very detailed questions about Tucker’s habits and tendencies and made sure to write down every detail. Within just a few minutes, we knew we had found the right people to care for our boy. Scott sent us pics and videos throughout our time away. We will definitely be using his services again.”
“People say they love animals, but not everyone truly does! I believe Kimberly truly loves animals. I feel she treated my puppies like they were hers. I am fairly new to leaving my girls with a sitter, Kimberly put my mind at ease. She sent a lot of updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. I will have Kimberly watch Thelma and Louise anytime I need a sitter again.”
“Our pup had the best time! He made new friends, got to roam and play in a natural environment and came home tired and missing his new play mates. Kevin is amazing, sharing photos and videos each day, which was comforting because we were having separation anxiety too! I can't say enough about how thankful we are for Kevin sharing his home and love for dogs.”
“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.”
“Kat is amazing! Our dogs absolutely love her and when we came back from our weeklong vacation, they didn’t want to leave! Kat gave us daily updates including pictures and videos and we couldn’t be more thankful. She is very knowledgeable on how to work with both small and large dogs and gave our babies the time, attention, and exercise they needed. She has a great setup for the dogs and made sure they stayed comfortable during their stay. We will definitely be using her again! Thanks Kat!!”
About: I am new to Rover, but have worked in the Animal Health Industry as a Veterinarian Technician (animal nurse) and outside sales/customer service for the past 30+ years. Along with the background check Rover provides, I also have a Business License and I am Insured/Bonded. Animal care is my only business/job and I am semi-retired. I have experience with most animals from reptiles to cattle and currently have a little 5 acre hobby farm with a horse, goats, chickens, dog and cat. I am very flexible with days you need pet care. My days are filled with animal care of my own/yours, walking/hiking, gardening and home/property projects. Your pets will be treated with great care while spending time with me. I have a gated 5 acre hobby farm with 1/2 acre fully fenced area around my home. My farm animals are fenced in separately for safety. I also have 3 acres of wooded trails/not fenced for leash walking. I am able to provide care and exercise depending on your pets needs and will only accept dogs that are not aggressive towards people or other dogs for a positive/fun experience. I have giant wire crates/bedding for night sleeping and can take up to 3 dogs. I would prefer same family, but may be some overlap with scheduling. Otherwise they will be spending time with me in my home and on my property. There are two large porches for either sunning or shade. I also have air conditioning. Please be up to date on vaccinations (including kennel cough), worming and monthly flea control. I live in a quiet/peaceful valley. Please no excessive barkers and bring their food, treats and special toys. If you have a well trained dog that would be happy sleeping in a dog bed at night, I can be accommodating. Must have been crate trained at some point in their life. Waking up in the am to an intact couch is nice! 😊 Please allow enough time for a 1st time meet and greet prior to finalizing the booking. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family!
“Jerrie is the best!! She is loving and kind. She maintains communication with text messages and photos of the dog while in her care. Our dog, Hazel, loves to be with her and enjoys the atmosphere. We felt at peace while on vacation knowing Jerrie was caring for Hazel as if her own.”
“Alexis does a fantastic job of taking care of our Abbey. Walks, treats and fun! We can have a wonderful trip without having to worry about our sweet girl while she is with Alexis.”
“Erin was great. She communicated well throughout the entire stay, sent photos, and made sure we knew that Nox was okay. Nox also got to interact with other pets which seems to have done wonders: He’s back home and super chill. We’re so thankful for the time he spent time at Erin’s!”
“Annmarie took wonderful care of our dog. We received several photos, videos, and other updates during our dog's stay. I also appreciated that she took the time to meet our dog before our trip”
“Kristi's home was a GREAT match for our dog, Ollie! It was clear that he was treated like family, and had tons of love and attention from the whole family. I'm so glad to have found a loving home-away-from-home for him. Ollie is booked to stay with Kristi again next month... it's SUCH a relief to know he'll be in good hands, having his own vacation while we have ours!”
“Jennifer is amazing! During my puppy’s stay with her we received so many wonderful pictures and updates. I felt so at ease knowing Lucky was in great hands. If you ever get the chance to work with her I highly suggest it!”
“Hattie seemed to enjoy her stay and we received lots of pictures and updates. She was treated like family and we are so grateful. Will definitely be on our list of approved dog sitters!”
“Keep is absolutely wonderful and so sweet! She sent us multiple photos everyday of our furbabies and in every photo they had a smile. We know that our pups had so much fun with her because less than an hour of being back home, they were both passed out on their dog bed. We couldn’t have picked a better person to love on our pups while we were away.”
“Highly recommend. They have a beautiful home with a nice, spacious backyard. Marianne and Josh are kind and have a lot of experience with dogs. With two sweet dogs of their own, my dog had built in companions while I was away. They are warm, welcoming, and sent lots of cute/funny pics & updates. Your dogs will be loved open arms. So grateful my dog could spend the holiday with such a thoughtful, warm, and fun family! Thank you so much for loving Chai!”
“Our two pups just completed their first stay with Deidre and we couldn’t be happier on the care they received and the communication she had with us. We hope that she will have the availability to care from them in the near future but anticipate that she will grow in popularity due to her 1st class service!”
“Pamela watched our dog Bagel for 5 days and he had a great time! She updated me daily on how he was doing and sent pictures. She did an amazing job taking care of our Bagel. Would definitely book with her again if we need care!”

“We highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter! She is professional and trustworthy, we immediately felt comfortable leaving Hazel in her care. Amanda provided photos and updates from each visit with comments about Hazel's latest antics, which gave us peace of mind. She gave Hazel lots of attention and love, as well as taking care of her daily needs. Amanda is simply the BEST!!!”
“Scott did a great job caring for my cat Smokey while I was away. Smokey can be slow to warm up to people, but he opened up to Scott quickly and was playful and talkative. Smokey had a little digestive upset the day before I was leaving on my trip, so Scott took care to send me details on his eating & litter box findings so I could stay updated which helped me relax! Scott is kind, caring and paid attention to the details. Things were tidy when I got home and Smokey was relaxed and happy. Will definitely book Scott again in the future!”
“Emily was very communicative, even through the last minute notice and some challenging weather. It was a comfort to know our cat was well cared for in our absence.”
“We travel fulltime in a RV so it can be stressful when we have to go away and find someone or a place to care for our 2 cats. Leah was very responsive with messaging and was able to do a meet and greet. With her friendly demeanor and experience we felt comfortable with our cats in her care. She was able to provide pill medication daily for one of our cats. Her daily check in messages and pictures kept us in the loop and made us feel even more comfortable. If we were in the area again and needed pet check ins again we would use her!”
“Ericka was wonderful! She had great communication and did an excellent job of making sure our cats were okay while we were away. She even went out of her way to check on our bearded dragon. We highly recommend her for any pet sitting services you need.”

About: Hello, I grew up on a farm and have been around animals since day one. I understand the love and need they need to receive. I am currently a full time nursing student and have some free time here and there and love animals so this is the perfect job. My pets are my family they Defiently get spoiled and well cared for.

About: I have been a veterinary assistant for about 2 years and love animal science. Eventually, I want to become a veterinarian- but for now I have my Bachelor's in Arts and Science from UW tacoma. I have 3 friendly dogs and a fenced-in yard. My dogs are kennel- trained and understand that sometimes other dog friends need space before being playful. I am a stay-at-home mom of one child and two friendly dogs. I am home almost everyday and able to care for your pet hourly if needed. My yard is huge, grassy and fully/securely fenced. Your dog can interact with mine or you can request to keep them separate, as I can accommodate that as well. My dogs spend most of their time in my fenced-backyard. They have space to run and trees for shade. They all like to take turns chewing on bones I give them, lay in the sunshine, play tug-o-war with the rope toy. Dogs are crate trained so if your dog needs attention separately I can accommodate easily.
About: I have 7 dogs, and 7 snakes, a pet rat and a pet bunny. I also have 4 children. I'm an active person who loves to work with animals. I have a wide range of animal experiences. I went to school and got my vet assisting certificate. My dogs enjoy playing in our fenced in yard and playing with the kids who are always excited. During the summer my dogs and I enjoy bikejoring and in the winter if there is enough snow we go dog sledding. I do offer training services if you have an active pup who needs a "job" to do. In this house we treat any visiting dog as if they are apart of the family. I currently work full time, but it's overnights. I am home during the day with my children and pets. We spend a lot of time together playing in the new yards. At night my spouse is home. I have a fully fenced in yard, I have 3 house dogs and 4 outside dogs (in their own space.) Your dog(s) will be treated like family in our home.
About: Animal lover here! I take very good care of dogs of all kinds as demonstrated by my volunteer and pet sitting experience. I have volunteered at shelters with scared dogs large and small, fostered and trained shelter puppies, was a babysitter for puppy raisers with Guide Dogs for the Blind and served client families as a professional pet sitter. My role for others' fur babies is to provide care so that they have their needs met in their parents' absence. I am a great surrogate parent! I like to keep dog routines continued to minimize stress on pets and their people. For parents that don't have the time or for dogs that can use additional exercise, I can take dogs out for walks. I have also been a cat mom of 4 at once and love cats too! I have my dog, Brodie, and my routine revolves around him. I make sure he gets the memtal and physical stimulation and exercise he needs to be healthy and happy. I want to help my clients and pets with this as well for their families. I have a fenced yard and very dog-friendly set up at home. At client's homes, I respect the space and help pets feel secure in their routines with attention and care.
“Caitlin has been amazing with Nai’a! Though Nai’a is an anxious pup, she liked Caitlin instantly when we met the first time. Since then Nai’a has stayed over at Caitlin’s a few times and once Caitlin watched her at our house. One of the biggest challenges with Nai’a is that she runs away from her sitters. But, with Caitlin it’s finally been working out well and I feel so relieved to have found a regular sitter! Caitlin sends photos regularly and Nai’a seems to have fun at her house with her pups. Also, she is really sweet and flexible. Thanks so much for everything Caitlin!”
“Holly was great with Winston. He really enjoyed their long walk. I can tell from the pictures Holly sent and his calm demeanor when I picked him up that he is completely comfortable with Holly. She even gave us suggestions for working with him at home to reduce his herding and nipping. We definitely recommend Holly.”

About: Before college, I lived on a farm. I have experience caring for animals of all kinds and an understanding of pet behavior. My love for and background with animals ensure your pet will receive the best care possible. I'm a college student home for summer break and can fit pet care into my schedule flexibly. I'd love to spend my free time going for runs or just hanging out with your pet! I'll follow your animal's routine to ensure they feel comfortable, while offering lots of playtime and attention. My goal is to keep their surroundings stress-free and fun.
About: Hi! I work as a Paraeducator at a school, so I have summers off and I can’t think of a better way to spend that time than caring for dogs! I’ve always been an animal lover, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pup needs playtime, snuggles, walks, or just a calm and caring presence while you’re away, I’m here to help! ☺️ My schedule is pretty open during the Summer besides spending every other weekend with friends and family. Once I go back to work in September, I will only be able to house sit as long as it is in reasonable distance from my workplace. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or favorite toys and treats. I know every pet is different, so I pay attention to their personality and comfort level, whether they’re energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed. I will also make sure to keep the home clean and secure while you’re away. I’ll give updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is always to treat your home and your pet with the same respect and love I would want for my own.
“Chelsie went above and beyond taking care of my dog. I know my dog felt cared for and loved her walks. Chelsie always took pictures and updated me with notes. That meant so much to me. She was reliable and punctual. She gave my dog a great experience and I feel super grateful to her. Thank you Chelsie.”
About: I have had over 15 years of small and large dog experience. I have worked in kennels so I have experience with handling several temperament types. Safe and compassionate Care is my number one concern! I'm currently going to school to finish my bachelors in science of nursing part-time online so I am home the majority of the week. I can provide around the clock care. I have a fenced backyard that attaches to my house and a large carport area that is covered. The yard is clean and grass is cut short. Everything is secure and checked regularly. I have three extremely dog friendly long hair Dachshunds.
About: I've had my own dogs & cared for neighborhood pets since I was a child. I love to cook, and enjoy making healthy treats from a veterinarian's own cookbook for healthy dog recipes. My preferred veterinarian is Mercy Vet on Mercer Island because of their holistic approach to veterinary care. If you do not have a veterinarian, this is who I would go to in the event of an emergency. I'm gentle and soft spoken but also firm when I need to be. I'm able to administer medication if your dog is on meds. I'm good with puppies or seniors, and everything in between! When I'm with your four legged family member you can rest assured that they are well taken care of and are not bored. There is no breed I won't take, as long as they are not a safety concern. I am dedicated 100% to my canine clients. Walking, playing and cooking for them is what I do! I consider this my calling, my passion and my career. When I have canine guests, We walk four times a day. I have toys galore and dog brushes if they like being brushed. I prepare home cooked meals, unless they are on a specific type of food or diet. I administer oral meds when necessary. All sofa and dog bed covers are laundered weekly at a minimum, and/or after each guest goes home. I will update you daily with photos and video of your pup's day.
About: I have lived with many different animals my whole life and have taken care of more than just my own. I have cared for friends', previous roommates' and family members' animals. Each one has quickly found me to be like a secondary owner. Of all the animals that I've cared for (birds, cats, dogs, rats, ferrets, and more) i found that I like cats, dogs, and ferrets to be the most fun and rewarding. Though I love all animals! I even make it a habit to feed and play with stray animals. I wish to bring them all home, but my apartment doesn't allow pets. Allow me to care for your pets while you're away and I'll make sure that they are happy and healthy while they await your return home. I'm currently pregnant so I'm taking some time to myself. Meaning I'm free all day every day. I'm more or a night owl, but will care for your animal whenever needed. I am very literal and follow orders to the letter. I will never do anything that you the owner haven't said is OK or not. If I have any questions I will not hesitate to contact you. The person who knows more about their animal is you the owner, so I will look to you for guidance. Want to make sure that each and every animal receives the same treatment that you give!
“Rebecca was great! I asked for her help with dog walking since I work at home I don’t have all the time to dedicate.Not only did she walk them but she also work with my dogs on some training. I felt like she really knew what she was doing. She gave me a lot of photos and videos so I felt super secure about what happened during the walk. She also provided me with an update on how to walk went.”

“Jules was in charge of walking my 3 dogs while i was out of town. She was reliable and upfront. She sent pictures and updates while I was out of town. I have a rescue that is extremely scared of new people, Jules was petting her and able to interact with her from the start. I will use Jules anytime I need someone to watch my dogs. Love her”
About: Animals are our passion, and we’ve built a life around caring for them. With over 20 years of combined experience caring for animals, we’ve looked after dogs and cats of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra love and attention. We also have extensive experience with reptiles, small animals, and pets with medical needs. Our home is full of love (and fur)! Our oldest dog is 13, and our youngest is nearly 1, so we’re familiar with a wide range of behaviors, energy levels, and care requirements. Melissa previously worked as a vet tech in training, so we’re also fully comfortable administering medications and understanding medical instructions. I’m a U.S. Army veteran, and my military background has helped shape me into someone who’s dependable, organized, and calm under pressure. I bring those qualities into every pet sitting job, aiming to keep your pets happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away. Whether your pet needs early-morning walks, medication, or just someone to stick to their routine—I’m here to help. We’re currently available any time, any day—including holidays and last-minute bookings. Our schedule is 100% flexible, so we can easily accommodate your pet’s unique routine. When caring for pets in your home or on their usual walking routes, safety and trust are always top priorities. We take the time to understand your pet’s environment, routines, and needs—whether it’s a quiet walk through the neighborhood or special instructions for your home while you’re away. We’re respectful of your space and treat your home with care and professionalism. You can count on us to follow your instructions closely, lock up securely, and maintain a clean, safe environment for your pets. During walks, we stick to routes your dog is familiar with (unless instructed otherwise) and always keep them leashed and under control. We’re alert to potential hazards like traffic, other dogs, or wildlife and will adjust as needed to keep your pet safe and calm. Communication is key—we’ll keep you updated and will always reach out if anything seems off or needs attention.
About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs since I was a kid. Once I turned 15 I started pet sitting for family, neighbors and family friends. I live in Chehalis and I work for a Washington state agency in Tumwater. My schedule is 9am-5pm. If needed I can check on or take animals to the bathroom on my hour lunch break at 12. I’m flexible with anything as long as I have a good amount of notice. My family has 3 cats and 1 dog. My pets have helped me learn how to handle different personalities in animals, as well as teaching me to be more patient.
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life and always put them first. I was always taking the dogs for walks feeding them and ect. Pets have a special place in my heart. I have also volunteered for a local zoo. Taking care of animals is a passion I am currently excepting anytime any day requests spring is here and I know you can't stay home all the time. So go out and have fun. I have one family dog at the moment. I live near the beach so that's always a fun time with the dogo. I am a bunch of fun for the dogs.
About: Since I was young, I have always had large breed dogs in the household, Rottweilers and German Shepards, and have always been comfortable with them. While in high-school and college, my fiance and I raised puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind, 4 of our 5 puppies finished the program and were matched with people in need. We helped co-raise around 6 additional puppies as well. We also love cats, we have a tabby-calico mix named Teva, a lyxn point siamese named Minnie, and a gray siamese mix named Baby. Pima, one of the puppies that did not complete the program has been with us for 11 years now, and we have loved every moment of it. Unfortunately Pima passed away from cancer, but we do have a new addition to the family! We now have a big boy named Koa, an 80 lb American Rottweiler mix we adopted after he was found roaming Lacey Wa. He was very aggressive and untrained when we adopted him, but now he is the prime example of a model dog with our training! My schedule is very open. My wife is a school teacher so I do prefer to have the weekend off, but weekend visits are fine as well. I do have a fully fenced yard, our cats are indoor only, but one does go outside on a leash because she is adventurous. Very respectful of other's space.

“Angela graciously accepted our last-minute boarding request for our cat and was incredibly accommodating, even when our we were delayed due to traffic and weather. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease—she is warm, caring, and clearly loves animals. She thoughtfully kept our cat separate from her dogs, which we really appreciated. Throughout the stay, our cat seemed comfortable, relaxed, and happy. Angela provided timely updates and was always quick to respond to our questions. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”
“I think this will be the easiest 5 star review I’ve ever written. Scott took incredible care of our dog, Tucker. He kept him for several days while we were out of town visiting family. Scott made sure to set up a time for us to visit him and his partner, Kevin, at their home and give Tucker a chance to meet their sweet boy, Nico. They became instant play buddies. Scott asked very detailed questions about Tucker’s habits and tendencies and made sure to write down every detail. Within just a few minutes, we knew we had found the right people to care for our boy. Scott sent us pics and videos throughout our time away. We will definitely be using his services again.”
“People say they love animals, but not everyone truly does! I believe Kimberly truly loves animals. I feel she treated my puppies like they were hers. I am fairly new to leaving my girls with a sitter, Kimberly put my mind at ease. She sent a lot of updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. I will have Kimberly watch Thelma and Louise anytime I need a sitter again.”
“Our pup had the best time! He made new friends, got to roam and play in a natural environment and came home tired and missing his new play mates. Kevin is amazing, sharing photos and videos each day, which was comforting because we were having separation anxiety too! I can't say enough about how thankful we are for Kevin sharing his home and love for dogs.”
“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.”
“Kat is amazing! Our dogs absolutely love her and when we came back from our weeklong vacation, they didn’t want to leave! Kat gave us daily updates including pictures and videos and we couldn’t be more thankful. She is very knowledgeable on how to work with both small and large dogs and gave our babies the time, attention, and exercise they needed. She has a great setup for the dogs and made sure they stayed comfortable during their stay. We will definitely be using her again! Thanks Kat!!”
About: I am new to Rover, but have worked in the Animal Health Industry as a Veterinarian Technician (animal nurse) and outside sales/customer service for the past 30+ years. Along with the background check Rover provides, I also have a Business License and I am Insured/Bonded. Animal care is my only business/job and I am semi-retired. I have experience with most animals from reptiles to cattle and currently have a little 5 acre hobby farm with a horse, goats, chickens, dog and cat. I am very flexible with days you need pet care. My days are filled with animal care of my own/yours, walking/hiking, gardening and home/property projects. Your pets will be treated with great care while spending time with me. I have a gated 5 acre hobby farm with 1/2 acre fully fenced area around my home. My farm animals are fenced in separately for safety. I also have 3 acres of wooded trails/not fenced for leash walking. I am able to provide care and exercise depending on your pets needs and will only accept dogs that are not aggressive towards people or other dogs for a positive/fun experience. I have giant wire crates/bedding for night sleeping and can take up to 3 dogs. I would prefer same family, but may be some overlap with scheduling. Otherwise they will be spending time with me in my home and on my property. There are two large porches for either sunning or shade. I also have air conditioning. Please be up to date on vaccinations (including kennel cough), worming and monthly flea control. I live in a quiet/peaceful valley. Please no excessive barkers and bring their food, treats and special toys. If you have a well trained dog that would be happy sleeping in a dog bed at night, I can be accommodating. Must have been crate trained at some point in their life. Waking up in the am to an intact couch is nice! 😊 Please allow enough time for a 1st time meet and greet prior to finalizing the booking. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family!
“Jerrie is the best!! She is loving and kind. She maintains communication with text messages and photos of the dog while in her care. Our dog, Hazel, loves to be with her and enjoys the atmosphere. We felt at peace while on vacation knowing Jerrie was caring for Hazel as if her own.”
“Erin was great. She communicated well throughout the entire stay, sent photos, and made sure we knew that Nox was okay. Nox also got to interact with other pets which seems to have done wonders: He’s back home and super chill. We’re so thankful for the time he spent time at Erin’s!”
“Kristi's home was a GREAT match for our dog, Ollie! It was clear that he was treated like family, and had tons of love and attention from the whole family. I'm so glad to have found a loving home-away-from-home for him. Ollie is booked to stay with Kristi again next month... it's SUCH a relief to know he'll be in good hands, having his own vacation while we have ours!”
“Jennifer is amazing! During my puppy’s stay with her we received so many wonderful pictures and updates. I felt so at ease knowing Lucky was in great hands. If you ever get the chance to work with her I highly suggest it!”
“Hattie seemed to enjoy her stay and we received lots of pictures and updates. She was treated like family and we are so grateful. Will definitely be on our list of approved dog sitters!”
“Highly recommend. They have a beautiful home with a nice, spacious backyard. Marianne and Josh are kind and have a lot of experience with dogs. With two sweet dogs of their own, my dog had built in companions while I was away. They are warm, welcoming, and sent lots of cute/funny pics & updates. Your dogs will be loved open arms. So grateful my dog could spend the holiday with such a thoughtful, warm, and fun family! Thank you so much for loving Chai!”
“Our two pups just completed their first stay with Deidre and we couldn’t be happier on the care they received and the communication she had with us. We hope that she will have the availability to care from them in the near future but anticipate that she will grow in popularity due to her 1st class service!”
“Toni was so great with our 2 pups. Very understanding of our dynamic with our oldest dog. She kept us updated at all times with pictures and messages of how the dogs were doing which put my mind at ease. Definitely recommend using Toni and will for sure be using her services again in the future!”
“Olivia took great care of both our pups for an entire week. We received daily updates and pictures, and the pups always looked happy 😊 We will certainly be using her services again! I highly recommend her.”
“Mandy is awesome! She took great care of our large and energetic 10 month old puppy, who loved being there. Mandy went the extra mile in all respects. She’s a true animal lover and it shows. Communication was great and we will definitely return. Very highly recommended!”
“In many cases, I would say that my dog has separation anxiety. But, she likes to spend time at Darby's house. And, I think that sometimes she is a bit miffed when we pick her up!”
