“Barbara is the perfect sweetheart to leave your pup with. Uly felt so at home with her …immediately! Her back yard is divine for zoomies and she even took Uly different places for walks… like a surprise daily field trip!! He was such a happy kid we we picked him up. Barbara’s a gem you can trust :) with your pup!”
“Thank you for you willingness to extend Mikkos stay with such short notice. There was an urgent family health concern , and Elizabeth and her husband were very helpful.”
“Lorelei is such a great host! I have boarded my puppy with her about 5 or 7 times over the course of December 2015 and January 2016 and I can only say great things about her. Her apt is very welcoming to dogs as she always has fellow playmates around and has a patio area where they can eliminate. One time, my puppy jumped off the furniture wrong and had hurt himself. She called me immediately and also did the courtesy of contacting DogVacay’s own vet for advice. My experience of Lorelei is that she is very attentive to the dogs and cares for them as if they are her own. As a bonus, Lorelei also wrote me thank you cards! I have booked with someone else when she wasn’t available and now I have learned that if you’re going to book on DogVacay, choose Lorelei!”
“Sarah is the finest boarding experience we’ve ever had. Our dog wriggled out of my arms and ran up to her front door- how is that for Lola’s endorsement? We get picture and text messages frequently. There is nothing I or Lola would change about Sarah. So grateful for her service and love for our Lola!”
“Deidre is the best! She took care of our two very energetic dogs for four days and it went great! Deidre is an excellent communicator and a wonderful dog whisperer. We’ll definitely be asking for her to care for the dogs again.”
“Kim was awesome!! She took great care of Jasmine and sent me pictures daily & was in constant communication. I could tell Jasmine was having a great time and getting a lot of love.”
“Belinda was professional, friendly, and you can tell that she sincerely loves and cares for the wellbeing of our fur babies. My doggo had a great experience, feels so good to know I have someone I can trust to call on for pet care when needed.”
“Reagen is friendly and caring! Easy to work schedules with and good communication. Sends pictures everyday to let me know my border collie is having a good time, and is comfortable! Dusty was happy and healthy, and excited to see me when I picked him up. Would recommend Reagen to anyone”
“This was our second time with Sierra and I'm pretty sure my pup didn't want to come home 😂 She took such good care of our baby while we were out of town for a week. I highly recommend her if you feel hesitant about or if this is your first time boarding your pet. I will definitely be contacting her again the next time we go out of town!”
“We had an amazing experience with Cynthia! She took care of Milo for two days and treated him like her own. She kept us updated, made sure he was comfortable, and gave him lots of attention and care. It was clear that Milo was happy and well cared for the entire time. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
About: Hi, my name is Amber-rae, I am 22 years old and animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — I’ve cared for everything from barnyard animals to beloved family pets since I was 9 years old. Dogs have always been by my side, and I welcomed my very own pup into my life at just 10 years old. With a lifetime of experience, I know how to keep tails wagging, paws moving, and pets happy, safe, and loved. We’ve got two beautiful boy cats at home who are our only pets at the moment. But i often care for my mothers dogs, she has 6 of them, four little Havaneese and two giant mastiffs At home our cats have free roam or the house and are only sometimes locked in their bedroom (the bathroom) because that’s where their food and litter box is. They’re given plenty snuggles and love, especially from my daughter, they love to play and cuddle on her bedroom floor. As for a clients animal, I will follow whichever routine is given for each animal (cat or dog) Whether it’s playing fetch, simply feeding them or going for a walk.
“Conor took great care of our puppy. He regularly updated us with photos and videos that kept us close to our baby. He was kind and very responsive to our messages. I would highly recommend him to anyone.:)”
“Kyah always goes above and beyond and I cannot recommend her enough. She’s my go to — my husband and I were out of town for the weekend and were soooo busy, we’re so grateful that we can trust Kyah and not have to worry about our dog when he’s with her. Thanks again!”
“Tanya is wonderful! She cared for our puppy as if it were her own. Sent pictures of him playing with her dog and being pampered. She is fantastic and I would book with her again in a heartbeat!”
“We were extremely happy to find a sitter that knew Benesse Mountain dogs. Kristina did an outstanding job taking care our pups. Needless to say, we are extremely pleased and will be using Kristina again.”
“Mike is an excellent pet sitter and I would not hesitate to call on him again! He treated Fox like he was his own. He got plenty of walks and potty breaks, and individual attention he would not have had elsewhere. Fox loved his stay, no bones about it! Thank you, Mike, for taking such good care of our senior pup.”
“Amanda watched our working line GSD for over a week while we were in Hawaii and she has watched him in the past for doggy daycare. She is the real deal and it made all the difference knowing he was safe and well cared for while we were gone. You can tell she has a ton of experience with dogs and other animals. She loves them yes but also understands how to keep them safe and set reasonable boundaries. Her property is ideal for dogs too with a big fenced yard and kennels. 10/10 recommend!”
“Ali was able to book me on short notice after other plans fell through. She was very responsive and my pup had a wonderful time with her and her family. I'd book with her again.”
“Lauren was great. I could tell when we picked him up that he had a good time. He even got a new toy to take home with him. She sent us pictures of Gunner playing and having a good time that made us feel that much better about the experience.”

“For peace of mind, for conscientious care, Bevin is our first choice. We use her services for house sitting our four cats. She asks questions for things she needs to know. She keeps in touch with photos every day. In short, we trust her in our home and with our pets.”
About: I have owned / taken care of kitties my entire life. I believe in putting a cat first in a home - at all costs. Fresh water, clean food bowls - litter box cleaned daily - and a lot of love!
“Jennifer came twice a day to take care of our cat, Jack. She shared pictures, and communicated updates, and made me feel more comfortable being away for a few days. Will definitely use her services again!”
About: I have owned several cats since I was negative years old. I personally have 4 cats, ages ranging from 1 to 9 years old. I understand when to give them space, and when to cuddle their cute snuggly faces! I have experience with young and senior cats, and cats needing a special diet and medication.
About: I love all animals and grew up taking care of all sorts of pets, however dogs hold the biggest piece of my heart. My wonderful pup, Bentley, recently went over the rainbow 🌈 after 13 amazing years together and there’s been a little piece of me missing ever since. Let me love on your dog when you can’t! We will definitely be helping each other out ❤️🥰 I work from home and can be around most of the time your pet is in my care. I love to play and go on walks. My schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate your pet, whatever the need. When they are with me, they are welcome on the couch and bed or I will follow any instructions to keep your fur baby on their normal regimen. Every animal has different needs and I will make sure they feel comfortable and are well cared for. I am familiar with aggressive breeds and know how to handle all kinds of situations. I’ve also had a senior pet that required medicines and special foods. Whatever kind of care your pet needs, I can assure you I will treat them like my own. I generally only sit 1-3 dogs at a time (dependent on size) since I live in an apartment, however I will take them out often to make sure they get enough exercise and I will smother them with love if they will let me! If you have more then 3 dogs or any questions on how many dogs will be here with yours, please reach out! I will try to accommodate wherever I can.
About: All my life I’ve been taking care of pets! From my first dog at 5 all the way to my small pup today and the neighbors dog in between. I love pets and I’m a very caring person. I love the outdoors and I will make sure your dog gets the quality outdoor time it deserves and the best care inside! I work part-time and attend online university! I love all animals and I have more than enough time to take care and insure quality time with your pet :) I guarantee that your pets are healthy and taken care of! From the basics of food, water, and walks to spending quality time and playing with your pet, ensuring they get the interaction they need to have a quality time in my care.
“Tilly came to Sequim to take my very energetic Boston Terrier for an hour long walk. She was on time and pleasant and actually walked her to the nearby dog park and played fetch with her! So glad to have someone wear out CiCi while I am recovering from an illness. Thank you Tilly 🙏”
About: I have 40 years of dog ownership and care from puppy care to adult canine years. I love dogs and feel strongly that attention to dogs is key to a long life for both a dog and dog owner. I am a remote worker and empty nester and have a very flexible schedule allowing for dog walks or in home pet sitting. My weekends and evenings are fairly flexible, especially for pet walks or sitting in your home. I am able to follow through with any any all diet or exercise limitations as well as punctual and communicative to my clients pets needs.
About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life, and am currently a dog mom to my wonderful fur baby. Throughout the years I have been entrusted to go to peoples houses and care for their dogs, take care of dogs in my own home, and have even been entrusted to care for newborn puppies until they were old enough to go to their homes. I have a special place in my heart for dogs, and I absolutely love any opportunity to meet all kinds of new furry friends and personalities!
About: Cats are creatures worthy of worship. And demand respect. Whatever age, they are always authentic and unapologetic. I deeply appreciate them, their intuition, instincts, and quirks. I have had them as companions, friends, and tended elder ones. I will happily do drop in visits for people with just cat(s)or both cat(s)and dog(s). My dog will not accompany me for any of my drop in visits.
About: Hi! I'm Matt—an animal lover, long-time dog walker, and all-around dependable human based in Quilcene, WA. Whether it's a romp in the woods, a relaxing cuddle, or feeding time while you're away, I take pride in offering thoughtful, attentive care that fits each pet’s unique personality. I’ve spent years living closely with animals—from farm dogs and indoor cats to quirky parrots—and I treat every pet I meet like part of the family. I know how important consistency, communication, and a calm presence can be for both pets and their people. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I'm available for regular walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I also have experience with senior dogs, basic meds, and high-energy pups who need a little extra adventure. Let me help you keep your pet happy, healthy, and feeling loved while you’re away! I've been with my perfect dog for 14 years, and it's structured so much of my life. While she's no longer my mountain biking companion I still find some quality time every day with her. These days it's a lot of her favorite swim spots and nice couch sessions. We put in a nice walk every week, even if it means I'm carrying her by the end. Your dog’s safety comes first. I follow your instructions closely, keep dogs leashed unless otherwise approved, and avoid unsafe situations on walks. I helped my own dog work through leash reactivity, so I understand how to stay calm, alert, and supportive in tricky moments. You’ll always get clear updates and know your pup is in good hands.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and can't imagine life without them! Most of mine were rescues but I have a heart for all (also including cats, horses, donkeys, chickens). My 14-year-old hound mix Charlie crossed the Rainbow Bridge a few years and while he took a little bit of my heart with him, I really miss being with and caring for animals again. I have filled this need with pet sitting and volunteering at equine rescues and equine-assisted therapy non profits. If you want your big and little ones treated and loved just as you would do, I’m here. I’m a baby-on-the-sofa, next-to-me-in-bed kind of pet carer — and I’m happy to follow your rules if that means floors and crates (there’s still plenty of opportunity for love and affection). We will walk, play, snuggle and be as active as your pet needs. We can do car rides and doggy parks, visit friends, have play dates, go for puppucinos. I’m flexible, open, and want only for your pets to be as happy with me as they are when you’re home. I’m what I always looked for in my extensive use of pet sitters: dependable, committed, at home most of the time, and a true animal lover. I’m happy to administer meds as needed, have cared for my own senior dogs with limitations (deaf, dementia, physical limitations, hospice). I will not only care for your fur family as I would my own (which means a whole lotta of love, interaction, play, and attention), but I will care for your home in the same manner. I’m all grown up, mature, responsible, and reliable and have been a homeowner for years. Your home will be clean and maintained, ready for your return, and your pets will be cared for and happy to see you. I have been fortunate to have had at-home pet sitters who were superb. That’s what I wish to offer to someone else and their fur babies. Peace of mind, certainty that all is well, and confidence that their pets are safe, sound, and happy. I am retired from Emory University, so I am readily available. What Susan would like to know about your pet? Please let me know feeding habits, amounts, times. Normal bed/wake-up times. In and out times. Walking preferences, favorite toys, favorite activities. If there’s anything that scares or worries your pet, tell me. Medical history, let me know. Additional Skills Oral Medication Administration Special Needs Dog Experience Senior Dog Experience Cat care-also chickens and birds Can provide daily exercise. I am soon to be retired, work at home part-time and am finally fulfilling my passions-pet sitting, equine rescue volunteering and just bumming around. What could be better-dogs, horses and retirement? Your pet’s usual day is my day. Sleep late or not. Go for multiple brisk or leisurely (sniffing time!) walks. Lounge around at home or go for rides or to the doggy park. I’m flexible, open, and want only to make your little ones as happy as they can be without you.
About: Cats are complex creatures—with personalities as varied as their meows—and I truly love that about them. Whether it’s earning the trust of a shy, independent cat or keeping up with a bold, curious explorer, I understand how to meet each feline on their own terms. I have experience caring for indoor cats, outdoor roamers, and multi-cat households, and I’m confident navigating everything from litter box preferences to medication routines, picky appetites, and midnight zoomies. Many of the cats I’ve cared for have unique needs, and I approach each with patience, intuition, and a gentle, respectful presence. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs in the same home, balancing their different needs while maintaining a calm, consistent environment where all pets feel safe and seen. In addition to pet care, I take house-sitting seriously. I keep living spaces clean, secure, and well-maintained—watering plants, bringing in mail, managing basic upkeep, and respecting your space as if it were my own. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and proactive, so you can enjoy time away with peace of mind, knowing your pets and your home are in good hands.
About: I have had over 20yrs experience pet/house sitting and have impeccable references. If you are looking for a responsible person to shower your 4~legged companions with oodles of TLC, look no further. I am available to care for your pet(s) at your home or mine.

Thank you for your consideration. ~Claudia I am a retired RN so your dog(s) would have me to keep them company all day along with our own 2 dogs (4 yr old Basset Hound and 8yr old English Springer Spaniel) who both neutered very dog friendly males. We have a lovely fully fenced 8+ acres property and comfy home for your dog(s) to have the run of along with our 2 dogs. We are both home all day and there is always someone here at all times. No dog is left home alone. We also have a caretaker who tends to the the 2 horses and mini donkey (whom live in separate pastures from the main property, as well as / goats that live in a back pasture. We have a fully fenced 8 acre property with a four ft fence. Dogs are free to have access to entire property as well as free range indoors. We have a very comfortable home with a large wrap around deck and 5 exits. So it’s in/out all day as much as any dog wants/needs. It’s truly doggie heaven here and most people want to stay themselves when they drop off their dogs. We don’t care for more than 2 at a time.

About: I have had 2 dogs and 2 cats in the past and loved them dearly. I haven't had my own dogs recently but have enjoyed my friends dogs and cats immensely! I miss the company of pets and thought this would be an excellent way to have my pet fix by taking care of other peoples pets. Please bring your pets bed or if he or she is comfortable they are free to sleep with me and sit on any couch or chair in the house. I would love to take them for walks to the beach if you approve. I would take them for walks around this quite neighborhood and since I am retired we would have lots of time together to play and enjoy each others company.
“Our dog stayed with Reagen for daycare while we were visiting some nearby trails in Olympic and it worked out perfectly! She was responsive and sent lots of pictures and updates in addition to being really accommodating during the scheduling process. Would absolutely recommend her services!”
“Sierra was so peaceful and kind. My typically high strung pup went with her easily. Sierra gave him treats and gave him loves when he was feeling puny. She is good vibes through and through. Highly recommend!”
“Haden took excellent care with our Banjo, introducing him to her two big friendly dogs. Huge fenced shady acreage to run around in (although Banjo preferred to sit, sniff, listen and contemplate life). He even got to meet a sheep (from safely behind a fence)!”
“Belinda was amazing with our Loki. We had to find a babysitter last minute because we didn't want to leave him home alone for 6+ hours. She responded right away to our request and really helped us navigate Rover (it was our first time). Then, she took amazing care of our puppy. He loved her at first sight. After we were gone, Belinda took Loki for a walk and sent us pictures, which as an anxious puppy parent I really appreciated. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer was so sweet and accommodating to our Kodybear! And so flexible, which was really helpful for us and what we needed to do. Very easy communication, her place is made for all kinds of dogs, lots of space in and outdoors, tons of toys, baby gates, blankets, beds.. I know he had a great time. :) She even fed him when we realized we would be a bit late for his dinner time. Too bad we’ll be moving, otherwise we’d definitely book her again! Thank you! :)”
“Buckaroo and Sierra welcomed Cassi P into their home and treated her like family! Sierra communicates great, went above and beyond taking the time for our pups to get to know each other, and is a wonderful dog sitter. I will definitely be a repeat customer when the time is needed. Thank you!!”
“Lauren was great! She was flexible on the drop off and pick up, and we were able to enjoy our day without worries. She sent a few pictures throughout the day and let us know the dogs were doing well.”
“Kimberly is wonderful! She has an awesome property for dogs to run around and play. She would provide constant updates with great pictures of Lila. She even cleaned Lila up after rolling around in the mud. I will be using Kimberly again!”
“I cannot recommend Tyler and Emily enough for dog care. My dogs immediately felt comfortable in their house, which for one of my dogs can be challenging, as she is quite nervous in new situations. I got tons of communication and photos throughout their stay, and both dogs were snuggling and playing as if they’d known them for a while. I will definitely be back and if anyone is needing incredible dog care, look no further.”
“First time using service. Our pups were treated so well! You can tell they both love animals. Everything was tailored to them. Great experience. Would recommend both Nicole and Cody!”
About: I have worked with shelter dogs for about six years and I have had quite a bit of training on dog behavior, handling, and socializing. My past shelter job required me to become SAFER certified in order to do behavior assessments on dogs coming in. I have worked with hundreds of dogs with a wide variety of behavior issues. As the dog care lead for my last shelter I oversaw the care of up to 120 dogs at a time. Part of the dogs care included medicating, I am familiar with many common health issues and medications and am comfortable administering all forms of medications. I have one small dog of my own, a neutered male that likes other dogs. Right now I am only looking for like sized dogs male or female (20 pounds and under) or very calm bigger dogs to babysit. I live on a small dahlia farm - about two acres, unfenced. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and in bed but you can provide their bedding if you think they’d prefer it. While our house is being built we live in a 2 bedroom “mother in law”. It is small so not ideal for active bigger dogs right now. I only sit one dog at a time, unless the dogs come from the same household or they are known friends and okayed by both families. I have a small dahlia farm so I work from home! I have free range chickens and one senior dog. My typical day revolves around taking care of the animals and flowers. Right now our yard isn’t fenced but it’s a summer goal! I take the dogs for a walk in the morning and then out for potty breaks every couple hours after that.
About: What is a home without a dog? I have always had a dog- or a few dogs. They make life good. I live with my husband and our two teenage daughters. We are a fun loving family of four, living on a small (wanna be) farm with our dog Larry and a flock of hens. Larry was a rescue from the humane society- and despite her rough start, she is ridiculous sweet. She can be both playful and lazy- a great combination for a playdate. The house yard is dog friendly- very large and fully fenced. My home is equally dog friendly- relaxed with plenty of room to get comfortable. I have a work from home situation, so your furry friend/family member will get plenty of love and good attention. I (and my family) are very animal - and people- focused. While I will be the primary contact and person in charge of your dog, know that my family will also be available and more than willing to help- we love dogs! Happy to have yours with us :). Your dog(s) will be warmly welcomed into our home- made to feel comfortable and kept safe. Our dog Larry is a part of our family. I similarly care for dogs that I host, as if they were a part of our family, and in a way that you would want - love and attention, exercise and play. All the loves.
“Hazel had a blast hanging out with Jax! She came home happy, tired, and well cared for. It was clear she had a wonderful time, and we’d definitely trust Virginia with Hazel again!”
“Our boys had a great time with Brooke and her gang and we felt welcomed, safe & cared for. Also the communication was first rate and we really appreciated the pics during the day. We’ll be back if she’ll have us!”
“Annette is a treasure. Her experience and love for dogs made the day visit for our 2 mini poodles a success. She kept us updated, she followed all instructions and provided numerous pictures and updates. Her after visit report was detailed and quite useful. We would recommend her highly!”

About: I've had pets my entire life. Dogs, cats, rats, hamsters, fish, etc. I absolutely love animals of all shapes and sizes. I volunteer at the SPCA in my spare time because I just can't get enough. I have a fairly flexible schedule and a reliable vehicle. I would love to set up a regular schedule so that I can plan in advance for the best care possible. I have an older Chihuahua who is very mellow and gets along with all animals and humans. I have a grassy open area for play as well as a fenced off area for off leash play.
About: I have owned animals my entire life, from dogs to cats, lizards, bunnies, you name it! I love animals and I love knowing they are getting the best love and care they deserve. I know how stressful it can be to leave your fur-babies in the care of someone else, but I will love and care for them like they are my own! My parents have done pet sitting for years and traveled all over the world doing it, I want to do the same! I work Monday through friday, and can work remote if needed. I am usually off by 3 pm, but can change depending on the needs of the sit. Weekends and Holidays I am completely open, and I have summers off from June to August. I will do whatever I can to offer you and your pets the love and support you want for them. I am flexible with my time and always dedicated to giving the best care.

About: —~> Ask about Farm Animal Care <~— Spending time with animals is a gift. It is a joy to meet new furry friends and give them extra love while their caretakers are out adventuring or working. I love to go for walks on the beach or in the woods. I like to chase sunsets and sunrises. All of which are more enjoyable with sweet creatures. I adore giving affection and opportunities to play for both cats and dogs. I have tended to a variety of different types of animals over the years. Some need ample one on one attention. Which I accommodate by giving them solo walks and separate meal times when requested. Others who loved to be social or had other animal roommates that needed plenty of outdoor time. Elder cats and dogs who needed extra special care, medication, fluids, and special diets. Dog and cat drop ins can make a world of difference for an animal navigating extended time away from their people/person. I give them all focused attention, consideration, bonding interactions and love. Dog walks are a vital key to their health and well being. It takes a village to tend to our critters too! Human and animal. I have many special spots for them to enjoy throughout the Olympic Peninsula. Including safe off leash areas when requested. I have a 7 year old dog, Hoodi. She does not come with me for cat or dog drop ins. Dog walks can include her company or not, always at your discretion. She does join me for overnight pet sitting and loves other dogs. She tends towards submissive and loves to chase and play. She is very mellow indoors and enjoys watching the activity of others. Throughout her life she has helped with pet sits. For her first four years of life she lived with two other dogs. She is a great addition to any pack. I have experience farm sitting which includes plant watering of green house, gardens, field and pasture. As well as goat milking, poultry care, and feeding of cows, horses, goats and pigs. Feel free to message me in booking about pricing for full time/part time farm care. Please note my pet sitting is limited to the Olympic Peninsula and Kitsap County. I pet sit most frequently in Port Townsend, Discovery Bay, Sequim, Blyn, Port Ludlow, Brinnon, Port Gamble, Quilcene, Chimacum, Port Hadlock, Irondale, and Marrowstone Island. Occasionally I will work in Port Angeles, Joyce, Forks, Queets, Poulsbo, Kingston, Bremerton, Bainbridge and Silverdale. I prefer extended house sits and like to build solid bonds with animals. I prioritize repeat clients. I have additional references outside of Rover. As many of my clients book me via word of mouth. This profile gives ease of access to my calendar. I currently work seasonally teaching art based school break kids camps and afterschool programing on the Olympic Peninsula. I spend the rest of my time making art from home and adventuring outdoors. This means I can have extended quality time with your pet(s) for walks and/or outdoor play and indoor care. Summer is my busiest season as a teacher. I have less availability during it. I believe maintaining routines and exercise is important for the physical and emotional well being of all animals. I will strive to uphold this and adapt my schedule as best as I can for your pet(s). I enjoy taking the time to communicate with you about your desires, concerns, texting check ins and sending sweet photos for your peace of mind. As every pet is an important family member. I know them to be kin.
About: I’ve had dogs around me all my life from puppies to elderly care, from changing diapers to walks, I take care of all dogs equally. I am part-time with a flexible schedule and free in the winter for now, so I am able to spend time with your fur babies any time. I love my current dog of 6 years but she cautious of other animals so I am unable to house any animals but I am able to care for pets at their own home where they are comfortable.
About: Hi! I'm Matt—an animal lover, long-time dog walker, and all-around dependable human based in Quilcene, WA. Whether it's a romp in the woods, a relaxing cuddle, or feeding time while you're away, I take pride in offering thoughtful, attentive care that fits each pet’s unique personality. I’ve spent years living closely with animals—from farm dogs and indoor cats to quirky parrots—and I treat every pet I meet like part of the family. I know how important consistency, communication, and a calm presence can be for both pets and their people. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I'm available for regular walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I also have experience with senior dogs, basic meds, and high-energy pups who need a little extra adventure. Let me help you keep your pet happy, healthy, and feeling loved while you’re away! I've been with my perfect dog for 14 years, and it's structured so much of my life. While she's no longer my mountain biking companion I still find some quality time every day with her. These days it's a lot of her favorite swim spots and nice couch sessions. We put in a nice walk every week, even if it means I'm carrying her by the end. Your dog’s safety comes first. I follow your instructions closely, keep dogs leashed unless otherwise approved, and avoid unsafe situations on walks. I helped my own dog work through leash reactivity, so I understand how to stay calm, alert, and supportive in tricky moments. You’ll always get clear updates and know your pup is in good hands.
“Phoenix was very happy to take Jenifer for a walk. She said he did very well for her. I would recommend Jenifer because Phoenix liked her and was very happy when he came home. Jenifer was on time and very pleasant to talk with.”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life, and am currently a dog mom to my wonderful fur baby. Throughout the years I have been entrusted to go to peoples houses and care for their dogs, take care of dogs in my own home, and have even been entrusted to care for newborn puppies until they were old enough to go to their homes. I have a special place in my heart for dogs, and I absolutely love any opportunity to meet all kinds of new furry friends and personalities!
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.

“Sarah is the finest boarding experience we’ve ever had. Our dog wriggled out of my arms and ran up to her front door- how is that for Lola’s endorsement? We get picture and text messages frequently. There is nothing I or Lola would change about Sarah. So grateful for her service and love for our Lola!”

“This was our second time with Sierra and I'm pretty sure my pup didn't want to come home 😂 She took such good care of our baby while we were out of town for a week.

About: Hi, my name is Amber-rae, I am 22 years old and animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — I’ve cared for everything from barnyard animals to beloved family pets since I was 9 years old. Dogs have always been by my side, and I welcomed my very own pup into my life at just 10 years old. With a lifetime of experience, I know how to keep tails wagging, paws moving, and pets happy, safe, and loved. We’ve got two beautiful boy cats at home who are our only pets at the moment. But i often care for my mothers dogs, she has 6 of them, four little Havaneese and two giant mastiffs At home our cats have free roam or the house and are only sometimes locked in their bedroom (the bathroom) because that’s where their food and litter box is. They’re given plenty snuggles and love, especially from my daughter, they love to play and cuddle on her bedroom floor. As for a clients animal, I will follow whichever routine is given for each animal (cat or dog) Whether it’s playing fetch, simply feeding them or going for a walk.
“Conor took great care of our puppy. He regularly updated us with photos and videos that kept us close to our baby. He was kind and very responsive to our messages. I would highly recommend him to anyone.:)”
“Kyah always goes above and beyond and I cannot recommend her enough. She’s my go to — my husband and I were out of town for the weekend and were soooo busy, we’re so grateful that we can trust Kyah and not have to worry about our dog when he’s with her. Thanks again!”
“We were extremely happy to find a sitter that knew Benesse Mountain dogs. Kristina did an outstanding job taking care our pups. Needless to say, we are extremely pleased and will be using Kristina again.”
“Amanda watched our working line GSD for over a week while we were in Hawaii and she has watched him in the past for doggy daycare. She is the real deal and it made all the difference knowing he was safe and well cared for while we were gone. You can tell she has a ton of experience with dogs and other animals. She loves them yes but also understands how to keep them safe and set reasonable boundaries. Her property is ideal for dogs too with a big fenced yard and kennels. 10/10 recommend!”

Chicken is an Aussie and they can be selective with new people and she did great with Elizabeth and her family. She sent regular updates and photos which was super helpful. I can tell Chicken feels really comfortable and well taken care of when she’s at Elizabeth’s.”
“Our dog loved playing with the other pups at David‘s house, and came back happy and tired! It is definitely clear that he cares about dogs and provides them with an awesome space to run around in together!”
