“Gary and Carol were great. This was our first experience with Rover and were very impressed with how easy it was. We completely trusted them after meeting them a few days before our vacation began. They sent us updates and pictures throughout the week letting us know Abby was enjoying her stay. We will definitely keep them in mind for our future vacations.”
“We were very concerned about leaving our 8 year old fur baby with someone we didn’t know and we couldn’t have been more happy with Kristopher and his wife. They are a sweet couple and obviously love animals. We were thrilled to receive daily photos of a happy puppy. We highly recommend Kristopher and will be using him again when we next need a sitter!”
“Our dog is very happy when I pick her up! Araceli is very good at communicating and I had a great experience boarding my dog with her. Definitely will have appointments with Araceli again.”
“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.”
“Linda and Bobby were FANTASTIC! They kept me in the loop with what my pup was doing and feeling. This really felt like a home away from home for him. A part of me thinks he wished he could stay! We will absolutely be using them again in the future.”
“It was our first time leaving Bean with someone we didn’t know and since the moment we met Colleen, we knew our pup would be in great hands. Colleen and Jackson were amazing hosts and provided regular updates. It’s such a relief knowing your family member is taken care of.”

“Laura was great and our dog had a wonderful, active weekend with her. Laura was flexible with drop off times, sent pictures and updates and was very responsive throughout the booking process up through the stay. We will definitely use her again if we ever find ourselves in Hood River!”
“Carolyn was so communicative and sent us such great photos and videos of our puppy while we were away! We are so appreciate of her awesome care and look forward to booking again in the future!”
“Goose seems like he had more fun than even being at home! Best experience I have had in Portland with a sitter, I did not have to worry or think about a think while I was out of town! I could not recommend her enough, 10/10 sitter and goose was very loved!”
“Hanlan was great in her care of our cat. She forwarded pics and videos daily showing our cat playing and being comfortable with her care. We hope to have her care in the future and Highly recommend her to all.”
“Left my pups (and houseplants) with Jenny while I was gone on vacation over the Christmas holidays. She was great, and the pups were pooped when I brought them home! I happened to have a vet appointment for Max that I'd scheduled a couple of days after my vacation. Both dogs had lost a few pounds, yeah! And Max's back right knee was doing very well, no swelling, heat or favoring. Jenny and her family did a great job with keeping an eye on him and keeping him from overdoing it. They were also very understanding when I managed to screw up my pickup date. I'd inadvertently written down my return flight on the day before it was actually scheduled, so I'd scheduled their pickup time for the next day, just about at the time when my flight was supposed to depart. And of course, the flight was delayed about two and a half hours. Luckily, I was able to pick them up about 5 hours after the designated pickup time. I will definitely be looking to her for boarding again in the future!”
“I've had Steve watch my 1 year old dog twice now and can't say enough good things about him! He is a multi-dog sitter who has been wonderful with large dog packs. Steve sends pictures and videos when ever I ask for a check in. He has been flexible with pick up and drop off. He asks all the right questions up front. Steve is my go-to sitter from now on. His home is lovely and he has a beautiful yard for the dogs to play in. Both if his own dogs are happy and so sweet to me and Jade whenever we visit. I am SO grateful to have a person so close that I fell so comfortable bringing my dog to.”
“Rhonda was lovely! She watched our aussie for 4 nights ~ I received pictures, videos, & great communication our whole trip. We rarely leave, so it takes him time to warm up to people & he cuddled her every night! He also has some "special" things with his food which she was happy to do. So grateful to have found our petsitter!”
“I had a terrific experience with Angie sitting my dog, Cal for a long weekend. She is friendly, understanding, and an excellent communicator. I felt confident that my pup was in great hands. I hope to book with her again for future sitter needs and I would recommend her highly”

I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and ensure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐱🤍
“Aaron did an absolutely fantastic job of taking care of our two senior cats! He was kind, prompt, attentive, and responsive. Unfortunately, one of our cats had an issue, but Aaron went above and beyond in attending to our cat’s needs as well as cleaning up after our cat. We highly recommend Aaron for taking care of your pets!”
“Hello, Thanks again for taking care of our four-legged family! They were not only alive, but seemed way less stressed than on previous trips to the vet for overnight stays. If you're available, we will certainly look to book you again. Aside- The door was locked, but we didn't see the top lock key on the keychain. Please let us know if you left it separately or need to drop it off. Thanks and take care!”
“Makenzie took care of our four geriatric kitties once a day for nine days, and she did an awesome job. One of them has cancer, so she gave her medicine each day. She had to deal with our glitchy litter robot, too, and did a great job. The cat room was very tidy when we got back, and all of the kitties seemed happy and healthy. Thanks so much, Makenzie. ❤️ Highly recommend.”
About: We've had pets in my home since I was a baby, so I'm very familiar with caring for different types of dogs and cats, from super energetic to one's that love and need their own space. I've done dog walking and sitting, as well as cat sitting. I'm currently a student athlete at UAFS, so I have less availability during the week than I do on the weekends, which are completely free. If there is a day on the weekend that isn't I will let you know in advance. If your pet does need more care during the week, we can absolutely work something out that's the best for them and my classes. I'm a super flexible as a person, so whether your pet needs ample play time and attention, or just needs a calming presence with them while you're away or at work, I can accommodate both. If you'd rather me be there for just a check in walk/feeding and then leave, that's also completely fine.
“Brooklyn did a great job taking care of my kitty when I had to go out of town on short notice. She was wonderful to work with, her attention to detail and communication skills are top notch. My shy cat quickly warmed up to her after a few visits. This shows that Brooklyn is great with animals, as my pet is very selective about who she trusts. I look forward to booking with Brooklyn again and I would highly recommend her to others looking for a pet sitter.”
“Sierra was responsive, friendly and arrived on time for each of 3 walks we booked. She took good care of our senior dog, sent pictures and was in good communication. Much appreciated!”
About: I’m Carina, I’m currently home with my one year old and two sweet senior dogs, Gabby and Roscoe, whose easy pace these days leaves me extra time and love for more pets. I have a background in childcare and outdoor education, so I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading what a dog or cat needs. I offer walks and drop-in visits, and treat every pet like part of the family. I am at home with my one year old, we have a very flexible schedule. We love spending our day with animals and happy to move our schedule around as needed. I offer walks , drop in visit or over night visit. Can’t offer boarding at my house. Communication with me is direct, respectful and easy.
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.

I will keep to their usual feeding times, play habits, and quiet hours as closely as I can, so the routine feels familiar even though I may be new to them. Your precious kitty will have loads of fun and top tier care :)

About: For about 5 years now I have pet sit many pets from horses,cows, to puppies and rabbits. Many of my neighbors, family, and friends who I have pet sit for have said nothing but good things on the way I strictly listen to all the needs of each pet. I am happy helping whatever type of pet as I am a big animal lover at heart! I have a puppy, chickens, cats, and an older dog I care for everyday. I feed them walk them play with them, I even cook for them. They are my babies and I always make sure they have the best care by being their full animal self. I have an acre, fenced backyard with tons of toys for dogs to play with. I always keep extra food just incase they need it! Always good to be prepared
About: I have taken care of a dog, a cat, and farm animals since I was 12 years old. I love walking long distances with my dog. I am also very good at reading animal body language and I know how to do all of the basic animal care necessities. I am currently working from home so I would have lots of time for walks and hikes and play. I will make sure your dog comes home happy and tired. I do have a golden retriever and our schedule that your dog would also follow unless they’re special needs is we wake up at seven am, we go outside to go potty, then feed them they play and rest then we go for a walk. We love our Whipple Creek 🌲❤️ Trail then we drive home and rest. Then later I give them their second feeding, take them out to go to the bathroom and take a small walk in our neighborhood before it’s time to rest and chill and head to bed. I live in a cozy gated apartment with my husband, Greg and my golden retriever. My husband works as a in-home caregiver and when he gets home he helps me out. He is also an animal lover, and if I am housesitting, he travels with me as well as my very friendly golden retriever. I promise as a married couple we will respect your house and environment we will also bring our own sleeping equipment and we don’t mind doing house chores.
“Rachael has been very kind and flexible when dropping in on my cat! I felt great knowing Smokey was being cared for and having fun during these visits. Will definitely be booking again!”

“Rebecca responded quickly to all of our questions and was patient. We had never put our dog Izzie in a kennel before. The photos of their facilities gave a good sense of what the dogs were provided with inside and outside, and photos of Izzie Rebecca sent to us on the days Rebecca was caring for Izzie were fun and reassuring. Lastly, their roaming farm animals were a delight. We will kennel our dog with Rebecca whenever we are in this part of the Columbia Gorge.”
“Mackenzie was fantastic with our Moseley and Mochi was such a fun new friend! The pups were fast friends and had a great time together. So happy to have Makenzie in the Gorge for pup playdates that allow us some time to do things where our pooch cannot join us, all while knowing she is having as much fun as we are!”
“Laura took such great care of our dog? Howie, for the day! She sent us a photo once he got settled in and gave us an update. She also took him swimming and sent some pictures which was really fun to see. Easy to communicate with and so friendly. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Sierra is wonderful! She took great care of Gracie, I felt very comfortable with her and am booking weekly for puppy play days. She sent pics of their adventures so I could see how much fun they were having.”
“Melba stayed here while we went to a show at the Edgefield Amphitheater. Gary and Carol had no problem with our late pick up, and they sent updates and pictures. Everything was easy and smooth. We wouldn't hesitate to have Gary and Carol dogsit again if we come back to this area!”
“From the beginning, very responsive and helpful! They were able to handle my high anxiety dog and didn’t get annoyed by the overly long explanation I had about his dogality. Followed up with pictures and updates and my dogs had a blast! Highly recommend Cass and Trevor for dog sitting.”
“Cory was a lifesaver for me. I was in town for a wedding and frantic and she picked Franklin up and dropped him off for me at my hotel. She was super flexible about my time leaving since I wasn’t exactly sure when I’d be back. She sent me photos and updates the whole day. I’m so grateful she was available.”
“My dog loves McKenzie and when I have to travel for work the excitement from Red is very reassuring. Red learns manners and behaves so much better after puppy daycare!”
“Shasta and her family are very loving and caring, we truly trust her completely. Our dog Gus gets so excited about having a stay it make leaving him a boy easier knowing he just runs right into the house out of excitement!”
About: I grew up with Dachshunds in my family for over 15 years, and I’ve had my own dog for the past two years. I’ve been lucky to share my life with furry friends! I love spending time playing and cuddling with them！ I work from home, so I get to spend lots of quality time with my furry babies. We visit the dog park a couple of times a week, and on weekends, we love going on hikes together. It’s such a joy to share these moments with them! We have a backyard and two friendly dogs to keep your furry baby company. We’ll make sure your pup has fun, stays safe, and feels happy while they’re with us!
“Charlie was awesome! We needed some last minute doggy daycare and he came through for us. He clearly loves dogs and has a wonderful property to host them. While watching our guy, he was communicative and attentive to our dog’s needs. We would definitely recommend his services!”
“Charlene has been hands-down, the BEST dog sitter we’ve ever had. The amount of love, care, fun, and exercise she gave our dog, Ginkgo, was truly exceptional. I’m someone who loves pictures and updates, and Charlene provided beautiful pictures and updates without prompting during Ginkgo’s 4 day stay. He got to go on runs, long hikes, and even got a pup cup with her daughter. He came home each day absolutely exhausted, which was amazing for my husband after working long days. We are so grateful we found Charlene!”
About: Animals have always been part of my life — from horses to fish, and most importantly, dogs. For the past 2+ years I’ve been a foster with the Portland Dachshund Rescue, caring for everything from energetic puppies to seniors with medical needs. Through local dachshund meetups and rescue work, I’ve become known as a trusted safe space for small dogs in the Portland community. What sets me apart is the blend of heart and hands-on skills: • Experience with senior dogs, medical care, and even injections when needed. • Specialized understanding of dachshunds and other small breeds. • A home set up with secure fencing and stairs for tiny dogs’ safety. • The flexibility of working from home most days, with the option to bring pups to the office on others. I treat every guest like my own — with patience, love, and individualized care. Most days I work from home, so your pup will get plenty of company and attention throughout the day. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays I go into the office, but I can often bring a guest dog with me if needed, so they won’t be left alone. Because I only host up to two small dogs at a time (20 lbs and under), I can keep routines flexible — from regular potty breaks and short walks to cuddle breaks on the couch. My schedule is designed to give your pup a safe, consistent rhythm while you’re away. Whether your pup is staying at my townhome or I’m caring for them in yours, safety is always the top priority. My home is rescue-approved with secure fencing, pet stairs, and even an outdoor ramp in progress for tiny legs. Guests are always supervised, indoors and out. If I’m in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I understand the trust it takes to hand over your keys, and I’m happy to follow any security routines or send photos so you feel comfortable. My goal is simple: peace of mind for you, and a safe, happy experience for your pet.
“Tracy and her family took great care of my big guy! Plenty of attention and play time in the backyard, and good communication throughout. No reservations about having her watch him again.”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 16 years old. I love caring for the pet of others and allowing pet owners to have peace of mind when they are away. I care for the pets of others if they were my own. I work from home, so I am flexible. When I pet sit sometimes the animals will hang out with me in my office while I am working, or sometimes I will find them in the living room sleeping on the couch. I care for pets in my home by allowing them to roam freely as if were their own home. It will vary depending on the type of care you pet needs. Special diets, etc.

About: Hello! My name is MaKenzie, I am 24 years old and I grew up around dogs my entire life so this is not something that is new to me! I have been watching animals since I was 16, and have always loved it. I have watched all different kinds of animals from pigs and chicken all the way to bunnies and reptiles. I live in a house with a great yard (unfenced) with my dog Mochi. My dog is a female Doberman who LOVES to play. Mochi is extremely energetic so we do play and walk a lot. If your dog is similar, and as energetic as Mochi, then this would be a great spot for them! I’m currently running dog/cat sitting as a full time business, so I have all the time in the world. I also work part time for another company with hours around 11am-1pm. Whenever dogs visit they get free roam of the house along with my pup! Dogs do remain on leashes when going outside as I don’t have a fence. Dogs are not allowed unattended outside at all.
About: I’m Carina, I’m currently home with my one year old and two sweet senior dogs, Gabby and Roscoe, whose easy pace these days leaves me extra time and love for more pets. I have a background in childcare and outdoor education, so I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading what a dog or cat needs. I offer walks and drop-in visits, and treat every pet like part of the family. I am at home with my one year old, we have a very flexible schedule. We love spending our day with animals and happy to move our schedule around as needed. I offer walks , drop in visit or over night visit. Can’t offer boarding at my house. Communication with me is direct, respectful and easy.
About: I’m a professionally trained animal caregiver offering reliable, high quality care for pets of all kinds. I hold a Veterinary Assistants Certificate, as well as multiple years of experience in dog and cat behavior, first aid, emergency response, and administering medications, including care for pets with long-term medical conditions. I currently work part-time at a dog boarding facility. In my free time, I volunteer with WCGHS in their shelter and in the community. I’ve also volunteered with Best Friends Animal Sanctuary and the Salt Lake City Humane Society, working with animals of all temperaments, including reactive and behaviorally sensitive dogs. I have two rescue dogs and one cat of my own, including one pup with epilepsy. I have fostered kittens, cats, and medically and behaviorally complex dogs. I bring a calm, confident energy that helps pets feel safe and supported. You and your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priority. My availability varies, but am able to provide potty breaks at least every 2hrs. I am flexible and willing to adapt to your schedule :D I’ve never met an animal I didn’t get along with! I am willing to watch/walk multiple pets at a time and can adapt to any preferred schedules or practices you have for your pet. I also keep owners updated with regular messages and photos for peace of mind. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away.
About: With lifelong experience caring for both dogs and cats, I’m comfortable handling everything from daily routines and training to senior pet support. I’ve watched many pets for families I work with, including dogs who need structured schedules, anxiety-sensitive care, or oral medications. As a nursing major at Clark College, I bring strong attention to detail, reliability, and compassionate care to every animal I watch. I’m confident adapting to each pet’s unique needs and making sure they feel completely comfortable while you’re away! Every morning I wake up and feed my dog and go outside with him, and during the day we go on a hour walk if he hasn't been outside. I do live on property so most of the time me or my family is outside and he plays outside with us. I've always had a love for animals and I think getting exercise is really important so I love to go on walks and play with my animals!
About: With over 15+ years working with animals, I understand how hard it is to be away from your pets — and how much they mean to you. That’s why getting to know each dog’s individual needs is the first thing I focus on, before anything else. Every dog communicates differently, has different comfort levels, and settles in their own way, and I take the time to learn that instead of assuming one routine fits all. I currently have my own fur ball - a Samoyed — daily grooming, sensitivities to food, and plenty of agility work to keep her fulfilled as a working breed. Caring for her has taught me just how much a dog’s happiness depends on meeting their specific physical and mental needs, not just the basics. Having owned dogs of all sizes over the years, from small to medium breeds, I’ve learned that a high-energy working dog needs something completely different from a laid-back senior — and I adjust my care accordingly, whether that means extra playtime, a quieter pace, or sticking closely to a special diet or routine. My husband and I both work from home, so your dog becomes part of the household, not just a guest. I love the outdoors, so there’s always room for a walk or an adventure with a furry friend by my side. Since I work from home, pet care isn’t squeezed into a rushed morning or evening — it’s woven throughout my day. I take breaks to check in, play, and go for walks, so dogs get consistent attention rather than long stretches alone. Feeding times, walks, and rest periods stay on a steady schedule, and I’m always nearby to notice if something seems off. It also means I can stick closely to a specific routine or diet your dog is used to, without any guesswork Dogs need more than just love and attention — they need real stimulation, both physical and mental. A tired body isn’t the same as a fulfilled mind, and every dog’s needs look different, so I treat that as part of their care, not an afterthought. There are no kennels here — dogs have free roam inside my home, plenty of space to relax and play, and constant updates so you always know how they’re doing
About: See my $20 Off QR Code in my photos! I love being around animals and have been around them my whole life. I grew up in generations of animal & nature-lovers. It’s a gift to be able to connect with animals. I love to return the positive energy an animal gives. I feel like every animal deserves kindness. I feel like I have a gift to be able read, understand, calm and relax and add happiness to an animal’s day. They are therapy for me as much as I feel I am for them. I’m happiest and genuinely feel most at-ease with animals. It’s important for me they feel comfortable with and around me. I know that much like human children, routine is very important to pets. If you need me to check in on them, feed /water them, potty breaks/short walks/close-by parks/play toss-the-ball, hug/cuddle/companion-time or stay at your home I am available to help. I develop unique connections to each animal I’m around and grateful to be around each one. Whatever a pet-owner needs me to do to help make their pet’s day better, I’m up for the challenge. Animals make my day, daily! Whether it be my friend’s dogs & cats or the Brahma bull that is up the road, I try to see an animal each day. I do have experience with animals that have high-anxiety, special needs and abusive backgrounds. I currently have a few tears in my meniscus which is preventing me to do rigorous walks. I will be scheduling surgery soon but that does not prevent me from tossing a ball around for a dog. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pet(s)! I am looking to assist with in-home day/night(s) stays, drop-in visits and walks. I’m available anytime and look forward to meeting you & your pet(s)! Although I do have a wonderful, small fenced-in yard, I live in an 800 sq ft home therefore, I think it's best to go where the pet is most-comfortable (their own home).

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 😊

“Gary and Carol were great. This was our first experience with Rover and were very impressed with how easy it was. We completely trusted them after meeting them a few days before our vacation began. They sent us updates and pictures throughout the week letting us know Abby was enjoying her stay. We will definitely keep them in mind for our future vacations.”
“We were very concerned about leaving our 8 year old fur baby with someone we didn’t know and we couldn’t have been more happy with Kristopher and his wife. They are a sweet couple and obviously love animals. We were thrilled to receive daily photos of a happy puppy. We highly recommend Kristopher and will be using him again when we next need a sitter!”
“Our dog is very happy when I pick her up! Araceli is very good at communicating and I had a great experience boarding my dog with her. Definitely will have appointments with Araceli again.”
“Linda and Bobby were FANTASTIC! They kept me in the loop with what my pup was doing and feeling. This really felt like a home away from home for him. A part of me thinks he wished he could stay! We will absolutely be using them again in the future.”
“It was our first time leaving Bean with someone we didn’t know and since the moment we met Colleen, we knew our pup would be in great hands. Colleen and Jackson were amazing hosts and provided regular updates. It’s such a relief knowing your family member is taken care of.”

“Laura was great and our dog had a wonderful, active weekend with her. Laura was flexible with drop off times, sent pictures and updates and was very responsive throughout the booking process up through the stay. We will definitely use her again if we ever find ourselves in Hood River!”
“Goose seems like he had more fun than even being at home! Best experience I have had in Portland with a sitter, I did not have to worry or think about a think while I was out of town! I could not recommend her enough, 10/10 sitter and goose was very loved!”
“Left my pups (and houseplants) with Jenny while I was gone on vacation over the Christmas holidays. She was great, and the pups were pooped when I brought them home! I happened to have a vet appointment for Max that I'd scheduled a couple of days after my vacation. Both dogs had lost a few pounds, yeah! And Max's back right knee was doing very well, no swelling, heat or favoring. Jenny and her family did a great job with keeping an eye on him and keeping him from overdoing it. They were also very understanding when I managed to screw up my pickup date. I'd inadvertently written down my return flight on the day before it was actually scheduled, so I'd scheduled their pickup time for the next day, just about at the time when my flight was supposed to depart. And of course, the flight was delayed about two and a half hours. Luckily, I was able to pick them up about 5 hours after the designated pickup time. I will definitely be looking to her for boarding again in the future!”
“I've had Steve watch my 1 year old dog twice now and can't say enough good things about him! He is a multi-dog sitter who has been wonderful with large dog packs. Steve sends pictures and videos when ever I ask for a check in. He has been flexible with pick up and drop off. He asks all the right questions up front. Steve is my go-to sitter from now on. His home is lovely and he has a beautiful yard for the dogs to play in. Both if his own dogs are happy and so sweet to me and Jade whenever we visit. I am SO grateful to have a person so close that I fell so comfortable bringing my dog to.”
“I had a terrific experience with Angie sitting my dog, Cal for a long weekend. She is friendly, understanding, and an excellent communicator. I felt confident that my pup was in great hands. I hope to book with her again for future sitter needs and I would recommend her highly”
“Our two dogs had a great weekend with Melissa! They loved being able to hang out outdoors in their own private space. They seemed very happy when we picked them up!”
“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!”
