Highly-rated overnight sitters - Dole
“Emily was so great with my girls. I got regular updates and pics, and felt confident that my doggos were in good hands. My elderly pug has some health issues, and has some doggy-dementia issues. But Emily took great care of her. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Can’t say enough thanks to Araceli! Our dog was taken care of very well and she came back home very happy. Araceli shared pictures and stories about our dog all the time during our time away and we felt safe and comfortable that our dog stayed with her. It is our second time boarding with Araceli and she is the best!”
“Would highly recommend Melissa. She was able to get me booked last minute for an unexpected trip. Melissa kept me updated the entire time, letting me know how my anxious dog was doing.”
“Carolyn is the absolute best! She let us board Tato last minute and was so flexible with our drop off and pick up times when we had last minute changes. Tato also loves to go to Carolyn’s! We love how any photos and videos she provides. Thank you again Carolyn for taking such great care of our Tato!”
“A great experience for our dog Nado. Jenny was very kind and welcoming. We rescued our dog over a year ago and he had been traumatized, we were nervous how he’d handle being apart. Jenny and her family made him feel more than welcome and he behaved very well and had a great time! Definitely recommend.”
“I had an excellent experience with Jared boarding my dog for a week. He was incredibly responsive throughout the entire stay, providing regular updates and making sure my dog felt at home. It was clear that Jared genuinely cares about pets, and I felt at ease knowing my dog was in good hands. Highly recommend Jared for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Angela is an angel and life saver! My friend had an emergency so I needed a last minute dog sitter for a 4 day weekend and luckily found Angela. From well the photos she sent me I found the my dog was being treated like a king. Great communication and kinda worried Pabu is gonna love her and her family more then me after all the pics and adventures they had 😂 will def use again”
“Gary and Carol are so predictably wonderful. Waldo always bounces up the steps in excitement when we drop him off. Gary and Carol have always been easy to communicate with and roll with the bunches when needed! They’re the best!”
“Our family is so grateful to Megan for taking such good care of Lumi! We had peace of mind knowing that she was well taken care off while we were on a trip. Megan shared many videos and photos. She also took Lumi to the dog park! We highly recommend Megan.”
“My dog Franklin had a great time with Brianna and her family! Her kids are so sweet and respectful. Frank loved them! Brianna was very communicative and sent frequent updates with pictures.”
“Jennifer took such great care of our puppy and had amazing communication! She sent photos and videos to update us and kept us informed throughout the day of how she was doing. It really gave us such peace of mind. We would love to book with her again in the future!”
“We are so glad we found Leah and Chris! We needed to book on short notice. They offered to do a meet and greet to see if things would be a good fit and do a short stay before our long week of boarding. Our dogs loved staying with them! They sent so many pictures and it's clear that our dogs had a great time! Our dogs were so tired when we brought them home and having such a fun time with Leah and Chris. I feel confident and not anxious leaving our dogs with them for our trip. Highly recommend!”
“This was our second time booking with Lisa, once again she provided outstanding care for my dog Zuko. This stay eas especially important because he was recovering from his neuter surgery. She followed all of his post-op care instructions, kept me updated with pictures and messages, and made sure he was comfortable. It's such a relief to have someone I can trust with Zuko, especially during a time when he needed extra care. We will definitely be seeing Lisa again in the future!”
“Grandpa’s Doggy Den is the best! Steve took great care of our dog Chester during a one week stay. He kept us updated and sent photos and videos which we were happy to receive. Steve’s love of dogs is obvious by the way he cares for each dog individually making sure their needs are met and they enjoy their stay and have fun! I highly recommend Grandpa’s Doggy Den!”
“Brandi took great care of Henry the whole week he was there! She sent pictures and comments every day. We are so pleased with Brandy in every way! We will definitely use her again.”

“Annemarie took great care of our cat via drop-in visits! She even hid treats for him and made sure he got plenty of love (he’s an affectionate cat!) We will definitely use her again!”
“Jessica did such a fantastic job and I was so pleased! I was concerned about my younger cat because of an abusive background and because he didn't do well when I was gone for two days. This time I was leaving for five so I really wanted someone who would spend a bit of time getting to know them and letting them know they weren't alone. My Lilybug usually hides from all strangers and from the pictures I could see that she was out and about, concerned, but not hiding. Firefly (the one that was abused) also appeared to adapt to her well. When I got home after five days, both cats reacted like I had just been gone for a day! They were well taken care of and I will use Jessica in the future.”
About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of animals for over 8 years now! I love dogs and cats, but I’ve also cared for horses, goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, and more! I’m a full-time university student, but I’ll still have plenty of time to care for your animals! Especially in the evenings and afternoons! I’m free most of the summer as well! I have a big yard for your pups to run around in, and a friendly little pup of my own! I can crate your pup if needed, or I can also drop in to your home as well!
“Susana has an amazing calming and friendly demeanor which was perfect for our sketchy little nervous cat! Susana understood what that meant, and knew how to react to a cat who didn't want to be touched or messed with. She sat next to Freya for the visit without touching her and Freya didn't run away or hide from her, which says even more about Susana. Kind, understanding, and thoughtful - exactly who Freya needed while we were gone. Will definitely book again next time we're heading out of town. Thank you Susana!! We would give more stars if we could!”
About: I’ve cared for cats my entire life and understand that every cat has a unique personality. I’ve owned cats that have lived to be over 17 years old, cared for mother cats and her kittens, and have experience with cats of all ages, temperaments, and personal needs. I understand that cats need patience and trust. I know that building a relationship with a cat happens in their terms and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved! As a pre-med student and lifelong animal lover, I am responsible, attentive, and detail oriented, ensuring your cat receives the same level of care and affection they get from you! My goal is for your cat to feel safe, comfortable, and completely at home!
About: I’ve taken care of both cats ever since I was 5 years old. I have experience with feeding schedules, administering medications, crate training, and keeping routines consistent so pets feel comfortable while you’re away.
About: I've taken care of many pets of all ages, such as friends & families, & pets of my own. I know how to be their support companion. I'm available: All Sundays & Tuesdays all day, and in the afternoon to evenings Monday, Wednesday, Thursday Not available: Fridays and Saturdays. Mornings on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday I give my pets a lot of love & care. I let my puppy get his energy out. I remember to give my cat her snuggle time. I make sure both water bowls are always full & they have food (depending if it's feeding time or not). I'm always looking for throw up/hair balls & poop/pee to clean up.
“Michaela was flexible, communicative and a good listener, thorough and conscientious. We appreciated knowing that our animals were well cared for while out of town. Highly recommended.”
“Maria was very attentive and caring with the dogs. She went out of her way to help the dogs feel loved while I was away. I would highly recommend her to watch over anyone’s extended pet family, she truly cares and treats every pet as her own.”
About: I have retail and construction and fast food experience and I love pets I love dogs they are so cute and would love to meet new pets Currently unemployed so I have plenty of free time to babysit pets dogs or other kinds of pets like fish, or cats or hamsters . I’m OK with either coming to your house or watching them at my house whatever works with you works with me as long as we’re on the same page
“This was the first time we had left our kitties alone for the weekend, so it was so reassuring to have Theresa stop in to check in them. We are so glad to have found her and know our kitties are in good hands!”
About: Hi there! My name is Kasy. I love all dogs and have plenty of experience. I’ve grown up with dogs, horses and chickens. I have been training animals for nearly 7 years now. My best friend is my dog Riley. She loves meeting other dogs as well. I’m not only experienced with only dogs but farm animals too. I am the biggest animal lover and would love to meet your pets. If you have any questions please make sure to reach out. Thanks ! I am currently working part time at a school. After 2:30 I am free to play with furry friends. In about 3 weeks my schedule will change into full availability with the exception of saturday and sunday mornings. I have a fenced yard, dog crates and beds for my pups. They rarely use the crates and are used to roaming free at our house and the fenced dog park
About: I’ve been loving on four-leggeds for as long as I can remember—and I’ve meant every second of it. Over the past 15 years, I’ve raised two mastiffs (a Fila and a Cane Corso), both topping 180 lbs—so I’m very comfortable with big personalities and even bigger pups. My heart dog, Gauge, lived to 15, and losing him last March felt like losing a piece of myself. Caring for animals has always felt like a privilege to me. Earning their trust? That’s everything. I know every home has its own rules—whether your dog is crate-trained or couch-spoiled—and I’ll always follow your preferences to a T. That said… dogs here are treated like family. Think cozy, calm, and lots of attention. I’m a little (okay, very) obsessed with making sure they feel safe, happy, and completely at home. I’m fully prepared with all the accoutrements (think toys, high-quality treats, etc) to make your babies stay feel like their home away from home. And I simply can’t wait! If I’ve been hired to take care of someone’s fur baby, then that is my number 1 priority. I build my day around the dog’s needs. I make time for what’s necessary, and being a long time dog owner myself, having dogs in the house just comes naturally. Walks happen daily with or without pups around, so having a dog to join me would just be an added *major bonus. Potty breaks and special care requests are something I just tend to as needed. I care for pets in either my home or my clients home to my clients specifications. I do have a fully fenced back yard with a large grassy area. There’s an off-leash dog park right down the street from me that’s never very busy. I’d love to be able to take pups to the park. I also walk everyday and will be taking the dog on walks with me. I have a 5 year old son who loves animals and loves to help out with ‘the chores’ that come along with animal care.
About: I’ve had dogs, cats, and exotic pets me whole life! I absolutely adore animals and enjoy spending time with them. I’ve had big and little dogs, cats, lizards, fish . And would love to take care of your family members as I would my own! I’m currently shifting to an opening schedule but it is a bit crazy, depending on distance from my work I can let out during my lunches as well. I do tend to stay at the house I’m sitting at so the pet doesn’t feel alone I won’t be able to bring pets to my home as unfortunately my dog is reactive. So I will not offer bording. But am more than happy to meet your pet in your home! I usually will ask for a favorite treat or snack for the pet and pick it up as a peace offering. I enjoy playtime and snuggles with all types of pets
About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life and have a passion for making sure they feel loved! I always had pets growing up with my family having up to 3 dogs and 5 cats at one point! My fiance and I now have our own 2 year old Golden Retriever who is full of energy and loves making new friends! I'm currently a full-time online student at Clark College so I'm always home taking care of my Golden Retriever. Between my fiance and I there will always be someone home! We live on a acre of land and backyard is fully fenced in so there's plenty of space for your baby(s) to play and run!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Dole
“Angela is a wonderful dog sitter and clearly has such a love for animals. Grace loved doggy daycare and was so excited to come back each day. Angela's communication was great and she was really kind and flexible with unexpected schedule changes. I highly recommend her as a caring, reliable person providing excellent pet care.”
“Tashi is doing well! Looks forward to going to doggie daycare with Brianna. Today, he tried to sneak out to the car when I left! He loves being around the kids and other dogs. Thank you for taking great care of him!”
“Emily & Eric took great care of our pups while we were visiting from out of town for a family Christmas party. We appreciate them being so accommodating with the festivities ending a little later than expected. Our fur babies were obviously very comfortable in their home because they are so calm in their crates in the car at the moment. We will definitely leave our girls with Emily and Eric again when we are back in Vancouver!”
“Jenny was great! She was able to accept a very last minute request for doggie daycare. My pups came home last night and they are still snoozy today. I will definitely use Jenny again! :)”
“Jared was exceptional. From the moment we arrived, he was warm and welcoming to my pup, instantly putting us both at ease. Throughout the day, Jared kept me updated with thoughtful messages and photos, which I truly appreciated. His communication was clear and thorough, and he even informed me promptly when my pup had a minor nosebleed. Knowing that Jared has a vet tech background gave me complete peace of mind, and I was confident that my pup was in safe and capable hands. I can't recommend Jared highly enough and am eager to use his services again in the future.”
“Brandi, thank you for watching my Rocky while I was gone at work. It was so nice knowing he was so well cared for. Rocky seems to enjoy going with Brandi's husband at drop off which makes me feel very comfortable leaving him. Thanks again for putting my worries at ease. You guys rock!”
About: Hello Rover friends! I am a stay at home mom and would love to help sit your pets in our home. I have an open schedule and a big yard! We have a 10 yr old Lab/germen Shepard mix who loves having play dates and having friends over at our home. We do not have a fenced yard but I can take your pup on plenty of walks in our yard! I have tons of time to take good care of your furry babies, we have a ton of space on our 2 acre lot to play with your pup and take them for walks. We have three adults in the house and 1 child, so plenty if supervision. My dog is has an electric collar so he has a boundary he does not cross, I keep dogs that are prone to be curious on a leash since my yard is not fenced. I keep dogs separated when eating.
About: I have experience providing attentive pet care, including administering medication to cats safely and calmly. I cared for a kitten with asthma, monitoring symptoms closely and ensuring medication was given on schedule. I am patient and gentle, helping pets stay comfortable and stress-free during treatment. As a teacher, I have summers off and a very flexible schedule during that time. During the school year, I’m available in the evenings and on weekends for pet sitting and drop-ins. I keep a safe, calm home for pets—run by two cats and one dog who think they’re in charge. I understand pet dynamics and make sure every animal feels comfortable and cared for.
“Dominique was great! She took Charlie on a fairly short notice and was very attentive and patience with her puppy needs. Charlie had a great time and came home tuckered out from all the playing.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I’ve raised several puppies with my family. My friends and family frequently rely on me to watch their dogs when they go out of town. I work from home and am happy to provide doggy daycare at my home Monday through Thursday 7 to 5 (excluding holidays unless otherwise specified) can also do Fridays 7 to 2. I am also available for dog boarding any day of the week. I have a fully fenced front and back yard. Our six and three year old French bulldogs get along well with other dogs and is fully crate trained. Your dogs will love to spend their days running around my yards or taking daily walks with the family around the neighborhood.
“Dana and Mark were amazing! They took Finn for the day super last minute and even had a pool in their backyard for the dogs to play in. I had no concerns and was fully confident with Dana and Mark’s care! Thank you so much!”
“Genevieve went above and beyond for me and my dog today. It was a last minute request for a new dog to spend the day with her and because I wouldn't be able to drive in the evening she dropped him off for me. So unbelievably helpful. I got pictures of him having way too much fun and I could tell when she was leaving how much he liked her. Knowing he was being so taken care of today made things so much easier. Thank you”
“Gary and Carol agreed to watch Spettro my blind IG when my regular sitter was out of town! They both were very welcoming, warm, kind, and flexible. They provided a safe home and comforting snuggles throughout the day! Spettro came home happy and tuckered out each day! Spettro will definitely want to go back and visit! Thanks again Gary and Carol!!!!!”
About: I am a nurse, but I have always wanted to work with dogs, and I see this Pet Care opportunity as a chance to fulfill my childhood dream. I'm thrilled with this pet care opportunity because of my deep love for animals. I believe my nursing experience will be valuable, as caring for patients has taught me compassion and attention to detail, which I hope to bring to the pets in your care. I would love to contribute to your team and learn from your experiences in pet care. Thank you for considering me, and I look forward to connecting and sharing our mutual enthusiasm for animals. I am happy to adjust my schedule if needed to help out, so please feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss specific times. Looking forward to your response. I understand how important your pet is to you, and I am committed to providing attentive, loving care that ensures their safety, comfort, and happiness at all times. Your pet's well-being is my top priority, and I strive to engage with animals in ways that help them feel secure and appreciated, including maintaining familiar routines. My home features a spacious, fenced yard where we enjoy daily walks and playing fetch. I have experience caring for my own pet, Macy and in my childhood other animals such as parrots, fishes, and even a monkey.

I take my responsibilities seriously and am always eager to learn more about each pet’s unique personality and age. To help maintain a safe environment, I kindly ask that your dog be protected with Simparica or a similar product recommended by your preferred veterinarian, such as Frontier, which guards against ticks and fleas Please let me know if you have any specific concerns, preferences, or special requests.

I primarily provide care in my clients homes, allowing pets to stay comfortable in their familiar environment, walk their neighborhoods, and maintain their normal routines.

Tailored Care for Every Service I Offer.
About: I have had dogs for my entire life! I currently have 2 dogs. Both are Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Trinity is our senior girl 13 yrs old, and Shira who is 2. I have had the most experience with big dogs (mainly German Shepherds and now Rhodesian Ridgebacks). I have done Schutzhund with my shepherds and have done dog shows and obedience shows locally with my Ridgebacks. Our dogs and the ones I take care of are always my priority. I treat all dogs like they are mine so they get all the love, snuggles, and attention they want. I have a safe and secure home and yard. We have a 3/4 acre completely fenced back yard fenced to 6 feet high. We are in the country and have lots of bunnies for them to chase. We also have a creek on our property that in good weather would be fun for the dogs to play in. I have some agility equipment that I will break out when the weather is nice and let dogs go through those or show them how. For rainy days we have toys and dog puzzles to keep their minds active. We also have a shop that I can put up agility equipment when the weather is lousy and cold so they can chase each other around in there if they are getting antsy. I also do daily obedience with my own dog and any other dog that is with me and wants to join in. While most of my experience has been with big dogs, I will work with any style and breed of dog after I meet them and we get to know each other. I also have experience working with packs of dogs, as at one time, I had a large pack of both German Shepherds, and then Ridgebacks. I also have a lot of experience working with puppies and can help with basic training. I seem to have a knack to help dogs who normally don’t eat or are very nervous when being left with someone else. I have had many boarders who’s moms and dads said were picky eaters or wouldn’t eat for a couple of days and somehow with me they eat well, don’t miss meals, and many times expand their diets. If you have a dog that takes medication I can, and have, administered meds that their parents bring. But I will only administer prescription meds written by a licensed veterinarian to the specific dog with explicit instructions. Bottom line, I don’t just “board” dogs. They are part of the family and treated as such until you get back. They Are talked to, interacted with by my dogs and myself and my husband all day long. They aren’t just put in a room or left outside to fend for themselves. They are truly being loved and cared for from the minute they are dropped off until the minute you pick them up. My husband and I are retired so I am full time at home now. So I can board 7 days a week. And overnight care at my house will be my specialty as you never have to worry about your dog being left for hours during the day or night. I have a very “dog friendly” home. That being said my house is clean and fairly tidy. I clean daily to make sure the dogs are in the best environment. My goal is to have your dog go home with you better than when they came. If they are full of mud from playing outside in the rain they will be washed and dried before they go home. If their nails are too long I will cut them (if the dog allows). If they need to be brushed, I will brush them and often give them a massage…this is especially good for the nervous dogs. If they are scared and feel nervous they will be returned happy and calm from being pampered while you were away. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture including our bed and can play inside or outside with my dogs who are very friendly to other dogs and people. I don’t crate any of my dogs and don’t require dogs that stay with me to be crated during the day or night. If you prefer your dog to be crated at night I will follow your instructions if you bring the crate that they are used to. Many of the dogs that I board sleep in our bed but they also have very plush beds throughout our home that they can sleep on overnight or during the day for naps. Wherever they feel more comfortable sleeping is fine with me even if they don’t want to be in our room with us and our dogs.

About: I’ve cared for animals for several years and truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have hands-on experience caring for my own pets, including three ferrets, which has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and paying close attention to an animal’s individual needs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and happy to follow your pet’s routine to help them feel at ease. My goal is to give you peace of mind while ensuring your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and quality care. I truly love all pets and have even began volunteering at the southwest humane society to continue my journey with pet care! I have open availability all summer and would love the opportunity to care for your pets! During the school year (September through June), I work full-time as a teacher, but I’m typically available on weekends, afternoons, and school breaks. I’m committed to providing dependable, loving care whenever you need it. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, ensure they get the appropriate amount of exercise and playtime, and give them plenty of attention and affection.
About: Hello, I’ve always grown up around animals. From farm animals to bunnies and birds. I first started dogsitting with rescue dogs. My first being a fear aggressive rescue. From there, I built my client list with people who have rescue animals and Nextdoor. I currently help watch rescued cats, dogs, horses, sheep and goats and a bird from time to time. I myself have an abuse case rescue Belgian Mallnois. Animals are a part of who I am, and I take care of all of them as if they’re my own :) I currently work part time, and the work is fairly flexible. I am often in vancouver, Washougal, Hazel dell and camas. I have reliable transportation and can be flexible with helping around my work I live on five acres , lots of land that’s fenced for your pup, I like taking them to places for them to run around, plus I own a 30-50 foot leash so if your pup has room to run but is safe to come back. I really believe in mind stimulation to help get their energy out too, mind games/walks really helps. A tired dog is a happy dog 😊

If I’ve been hired to take care of someone’s fur baby, then that is my number 1 priority. I build my day around the dog’s needs. I make time for what’s necessary, and being a long time dog owner myself, having dogs in the house just comes naturally. Walks happen daily with or without pups around, so having a dog to join me would just be an added *major bonus. Potty breaks and special care requests are something I just tend to as needed. I care for pets in either my home or my clients home to my clients specifications. I do have a fully fenced back yard with a large grassy area. There’s an off-leash dog park right down the street from me that’s never very busy. I’d love to be able to take pups to the park. I also walk everyday and will be taking the dog on walks with me. I have a 5 year old son who loves animals and loves to help out with ‘the chores’ that come along with animal care.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. This experience allows me to connect with them on a personal level. I also have training skills for puppies. My goal is to provide a loving and safe environment, tailored to each dog’s unique needs. I’m a college student and have a part- time job, but always make sure my pet doesn’t feel lonely by providing her enough attention. I prioritize pet care by scheduling dedicated times for walks, play, and feeding. I ensure flexibility to accommodate each pet’s unique needs while maintaining my routine. In my home, I ensure a safe environment by pet-proofing spaces and providing cozy resting areas. At clients' homes, I maintain routines, respect their space, and prioritize safety through secure gates and proper supervision. Trust is built through open communication and consistent updates.

“Can’t say enough thanks to Araceli! Our dog was taken care of very well and she came back home very happy. Araceli shared pictures and stories about our dog all the time during our time away and we felt safe and comfortable that our dog stayed with her. It is our second time boarding with Araceli and she is the best!”
“Would highly recommend Melissa. She was able to get me booked last minute for an unexpected trip. Melissa kept me updated the entire time, letting me know how my anxious dog was doing.”
“A great experience for our dog Nado. Jenny was very kind and welcoming. We rescued our dog over a year ago and he had been traumatized, we were nervous how he’d handle being apart. Jenny and her family made him feel more than welcome and he behaved very well and had a great time! Definitely recommend.”
“Gary and Carol are so predictably wonderful. Waldo always bounces up the steps in excitement when we drop him off. Gary and Carol have always been easy to communicate with and roll with the bunches when needed! They’re the best!”
“My dog Franklin had a great time with Brianna and her family! Her kids are so sweet and respectful. Frank loved them! Brianna was very communicative and sent frequent updates with pictures.”
“We are so glad we found Leah and Chris! We needed to book on short notice. They offered to do a meet and greet to see if things would be a good fit and do a short stay before our long week of boarding. Our dogs loved staying with them! They sent so many pictures and it's clear that our dogs had a great time! Our dogs were so tired when we brought them home and having such a fun time with Leah and Chris. I feel confident and not anxious leaving our dogs with them for our trip. Highly recommend!”
“This was our second time booking with Lisa, once again she provided outstanding care for my dog Zuko. This stay eas especially important because he was recovering from his neuter surgery. She followed all of his post-op care instructions, kept me updated with pictures and messages, and made sure he was comfortable. It's such a relief to have someone I can trust with Zuko, especially during a time when he needed extra care. We will definitely be seeing Lisa again in the future!”
“Grandpa’s Doggy Den is the best! Steve took great care of our dog Chester during a one week stay. He kept us updated and sent photos and videos which we were happy to receive. Steve’s love of dogs is obvious by the way he cares for each dog individually making sure their needs are met and they enjoy their stay and have fun! I highly recommend Grandpa’s Doggy Den!”
“Brandi took great care of Henry the whole week he was there! She sent pictures and comments every day. We are so pleased with Brandy in every way! We will definitely use her again.”
“Hannah is a loving dog carer/sitter. I left my dog Blizzard with her for a week and she sent plenty of updates and photos. Blizzard was well cared for and had a great time in her in-laws’ giant yard too! I will definitely use her services again and highly recommend her!!!!’”
“This was my first time boarding my dog with Elaine and I would do it again. I was out of service for the 4 days that my pup stayed with her, but when i got back into service I saw that she sent photos of big stretches and him chilling with the other dogs each day. Elaine and her family were welcoming to my pup and I would recommend her as a sitter or boarding option for sure.”
“The people in this home made Mabel feel welcomed and loved. How do I know? All of the pictures and updates Christine sent me! I was able to work out of town without worrying about my girl, Mabes. My work can be stressful, and not having to worry about Mabel means so much to me. I will definitely want Mabel to go back to Christine's home!”
“He was able to come to my rescue when I was on a trip and ended up in the hospital. He kept me updated and provided a lot of pictures. I would definitely recommend him to everyone!!”
“David was excellent! Lumi had a great time playing with the other pups and I think benefited from David working from home, which is what she is used to. Thank you so much, will be booking again!”
“Love love love it all that they provided to our Tofu❤️Absolutely recommend Linda and her family hosting your fur babies. Our Tofu spent his best two weeks at their place with lots of walks, treats, and even baths when needed. They asked many questions before hand to get to know Tofu and arranged a visit as well. It was such a relief for us during our international trip where we had no access to text messages and major social media. However, Linda still offered to contact us via WhatsApp in order to send daily updates.”
