“Hank had a wonderful time with Wynona and family! He was taken such good care of and went on lots of walks, socialized with people and pets and Wynona sent photos of my baby throughout his stay. It was the first time I've ever had anyone babysit my puppy and it could not have gone better. Thank you Wynona and family for taking such wonderful care of Hank!”
“Lorelei was absolutely fantastic! She watched our Jack Russell while my husband and I were away for a long weekend last minute, and I could not have been more comfortable leaving our girl in her care. Our dog suffers from separation anxiety, and during her stay with Lorelei she was not left alone even once. After bringing her home, she was so exhausted from a weekend of play that she slept for almost an entire day. Would definitely recommend her, and will be booking with her again!”
“This was my first booking with Rover and Charis and it was fantastic. Charis communicated in a timely manner, great with our dog, and the drop off and pick up process was amazing. We will rebook with Charis in the future as she was just the best!”
“Steven and Rachel took great care of Daisy! They sent us plenty of updates and responded quickly to any questions. Daisy had a blast playing with their Daisy and they took care of her additional health requests. We’ll definitely ask them to watch her again the next time we go on a trip :)”
“Hongyee was a wonderful host for Ruby’s stay. She took extra time to insure that she was comfortable with her home and environment before introducing Ruby to the other dogs. The location great, giving the dogs a lot of space to socialize and play. They all got along well. We will be back soon. Thank you Hongyee!”
“My pup had the best stay with Celia and her family. She was very kind from the start and accommodated us last minute. From the pictures she took I can tell he was well taken care of. Looking forward to booking again. If you want your pup to have a blast, book with Celia too! You won’t regret it.”
“David and his family were so great taking care of Mr.Weenie! It was a huge sense of relief knowing he was in good hands during his stay. David sent updates with pictures and videos. Mr weenie was given a lot of love and attention along with baths and play time. I will definitely be using David again in the future!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who friends and family regularly trust to care for their pets while they travel. I have two friendly golden retrievers who truly love other dogs and are gentle, playful, and well-socialized. I’m experienced with a wide range of personalities—from high-energy pups who need lots of playtime to senior dogs who prefer a calm, cozy environment. I treat every dog as if they were my own, paying close attention to routines, feeding schedules, medications, and individual quirks. Your dog will enjoy plenty of love, supervised play, and a safe, comfortable home where they’re never just “watched,” but genuinely cared for. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and a calm, structured environment. I’m available for both short-notice needs and bookings well in advance as you plan your travels. My goal is to be your go-to sitter whenever you need reliable, loving care. I have a large fully fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized golden retrievers who enjoy playing in the backyard by a game of chase and/or fetch. I closely monitor playtime and all interactions, follow each dog’s routine, and can crate, separate, or provide quiet space if needed in order to keep all dogs in my care stress/free, comfortable and happy. Safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities. This isn’t just a place where you drop your dog for the day or for a trip. It’s a calm, loving environment where dogs feel safe and loved while you’re away. I choose thoughtful exercise and enrichment to keep them happy and give them plenty of opportunities to burn energy and excitement.
“James is always wonderful with Bonnie! His patience, attentiveness, and genuine care make every interaction positive and enjoyable. Bonnie responds so well to his calm demeanor and thoughtful approach. Whether it's during her stay with him, walks, or just spending time together, James consistently demonstrates reliability and kindness. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate individual. His dedication and expertise truly set him apart, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found someone as exceptional as James.”
“Bailey and Kyle were amazing! My pup Coco had soo much fun playing with their dog and she was well taken care of. Their huge fenced in backyard was definitely a bonus! I would definitely use them again!”
“This was Shadow's second stay with Jenn and he was so excited upon arrival I don't think he noticed when I left. I got plenty of pictures and updates and Shadow look like he's having a great time. I highly recommend Jenn.”
“Our kitty was cared for and we received frequent pictures and communication from Kyah! It allowed our family to fully enjoy our trip. Kyah will be our first choice always! Also, kitty is just as kind and loving as when we left him in the care of Kyah. He may even be a better kitty…says a lot of how well he was nurtured!”
“Kayla and Jacob took amazing care of our energetic lab. The property was great for our dog to play and explore. Their family treated our dog as one of their own, making us feel at ease while we were away for an extended time. Would definitely use again!”
“Mike was a true gift during a very emotional and busy time. With family in town for my father’s funeral, I needed a peaceful place for my dog Bo to stay for a few days. Mike and Shari welcomed him into their beautiful, woodsy home—with picture windows that Bo immediately wanted to look out, and a calm, comforting vibe. When I picked him up at the end of his stay Bo was a relaxed and happy dog! Thanks guys!”
“Sara was amazing!!! She kept me up-to-date on my pups the entire time & made sure they received lots of love. I would definitely recommend her & will be using her services again in the future ?”
“Donna took both of our dogs, Dougal and Daisy, on a very short timeframe and during the 4th of July holiday due to a death in our family. She sent regular updates and made us feel secure that our dogs were being well cared for. That meant a lot to us during a difficult time. Thanks Donna for your kindness to our furry kids!”
“It was my dog's first time boarding since I adopted him in January. He was so excited to see Kha and even happier to be able to run around a big yard with her dogs. Kha took great care of Wolfgang, treated him like he was past of their family and sent me lots of pictures and videos of his time there.”

“Natascha took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away and kept us updated with pictures every day. She even noticed some issues with our snake and chinchilla and was happy to take care of those for us so we didn’t have to bother our neighbor. It meant a lot knowing someone dependable was there to check in on them.”
“Sabrina was great while I was on my recent trip! My cat has very specific dietary needs and she followed all the instructions perfectly! She took great care of him with her drop-in visits and I will happily book with her again!”
“Fantastic, patient and kind sitters! Gradee had an awesome setup for our shy cat, including a water fountain. Our cat was well taken care for and safe. Highly recommend and we’ll be back. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats since I was 10 years old and truly understand their unique personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to feed, play with, and check on their cats while they were away. I know how important it is to keep their routine consistent and their environment calm. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or older and needs extra attention, I provide patient, loving, and reliable care so they feel safe and comfortable in their own home.
“Princess help me out tremendously for my 30 day trip abroad. Did two weekly visits and followed the -admittedly- overly specific instructions required for all of my cats including their food, litter-robot, and more. Made my trip so much less stressful!”
“Constance spent a great deal of time at our meet and greet getting to know our dogs and me as the dog mom. I was so comfortable after that first meeting I asked her to check in on our cats that week! When I tell you she got the best photos of our “large and not so in charge” cat Henry Purrito…well, it made us happy. I could tell they were well cared for and happy. She’s responsive to requests, flexible and dependable. I’m looking forward to her walking our dogs five days a week!”
“Katherine did an exceptional job taking care of my two cats. One takes medication and can be fussy, she was able to get her to take her meds. When there were questions, the communication was prompt. Thanks again!”
“Sara took great care of our babies! She sent lots of pics and played with them and gave them treats. It was our first time leaving our kittens and having her check on them brought me so much peace of mind. Will definitely be reaching out to her the next time we leave town!”

“Stacey was super easy to communicate with, responded quickly, sent great pictures of Laska to reassure us she was settling in well, and clearly did a great job caring for Laska for a few hours while we went on a little kayak tour!”
“Thanks to Cara we had a wonderful first-time experience on Rover. Yoshi did his first Rover doggy day care and he had a blast. Cara took great care of him and her little girls took to Yoshi. He came home and promptly passed out. Expecting a lot more play dates in the near future. It's awesome to find another Corgi Mom. Thank you, Cara, for welcoming Yoshi into your home. We loved the photos you sent to us throughout the day and hope to add more memories.”
“Thanks to Kayla & family we had a great first time experience on Rover! Super responsive, accommodating, and let me bring Frankie for a visit to meet them the day before. Her kids loved on our dog and she sent pictures of Frankie snuggling😊”
“Cathleen was so friendly and helpful- taking care of our pups with just a few day's notice when we wanted to visit the island. She made Vivi and Bijou feel comfortable and at home- as evidenced by the photos of them relaxing and snoozing without a care. We were so glad to find her and wouldn't hesitate to have our pups stay with her again.”
“It was my first time trying out a sitter for Wee and I was very nervous, but Steven and Rachel completely alleviated that worry with frequent updates, photos and genuine care for my pup. When I next need a sitter, Wee will definitely be staying with them. Thank you Steven and Rachel! :)”
“Khayl was amazing with my brand new puppy. She kept me up to date and sent videos during his visit. I would tell from the videos how well cared for he was and I will most certainly use her services again. A+++, you will be so happy with the care that she provides! Thank you again Khayl 💓”
“My puppy had a great time with Naiomi!!! Naiomi sent lots of pictures and updates. I could tell my pup was having a great time, and I felt comfortable leaving her with Naiomi. We will totally use her in the future.”
About: I have taken care of animals of all ages, sizes and breeds! I am a huge dog lover with a huge heart for every animal! I have experience in leash training, potty training and kennel training, as well as basic commands (I.E sit, stay, speak, lay down, roll over etc). I have always had a passion for animals and will take care of your fur babies as if they were my own! I am currently available 24/7! I am a full time sitter and I am always home, so your pets will never be alone or in a kennel. I have an open schedule on the weekdays, weekends and I am even available on holidays! I do not currently work which gives me all of the time in the world to play, love on, and cuddle your fur babies! I am flexible on dates, long term and short term, as well as last minute care needed! I have a spacious 3 bedroom townhome with plenty of grassy areas, one dog park in the vicinity, and a short commute to larger parks and dog parks! My significant other has just as much love to give as I do, so your animal will always get enough love & attention! We have two children in the house so please consider that before booking with me! I stay home with my two children so I will be home pretty much all day/night to take care of your fur babies! If I ever have to step out it’s not for long and I always come right back. I follow instructions to a T! If you have any specific instructions please provide them via message or written down. I try to make the experience here for the animal the exact same as it would be at home, so staying on their schedule is key! I am willing to accommodate any requests you may have (crating them, brushing them, bathing them etc). Please keep in mind that bathing/grooming is an extra fee but if asked about I will have no issue doing so!
“Valerie was wonderful with Winnie and we were comfortable leaving her there knowing she was in good hands. It was Winnie’s first time away from home at 13 weeks and we were so glad she did well. Valerie was fantastic!”
“Amanda is amazing! She was so kind to watch my 13 week old golden retriever puppy Millie. Millie played all day! She was able to meet a new friend and run and dig to her hearts content. Amanda was so sweet to send me pictures and videos so I was not anxious during her first day away.”
About: I have a deep understanding and genuine love for animals. My approach involves creating a comfortable and safe environment for pets, ensuring they feel secure and happy my home or in their own home. I tailor my care to each pet's unique needs, whether it's providing extra playtime, administering medications, or simply offering companionship. With a keen eye for detail, I pay close attention to specific instructions and routines, ensuring a seamless experience for both the pet and their owner. Your furry friends are not just clients to me; they become cherished companions, and I take pride in fostering a bond built on trust and affection. I work remotely so your pet will have my full attention. I am available to let them out throughout the day and a daily walk! In both my home and my clients' homes, I prioritize the well-being and comfort of the pets under my care. When sitting in my own space, I ensure a pet-friendly environment with designated areas for play, rest, and meals. Daily routines are maintained, including regular walks, playtime, and adherence to feeding schedules. In clients' homes, I strive to replicate the familiar surroundings and routines the pets are accustomed to. This minimizes stress and anxiety, providing a seamless transition in their owners' absence. I adhere strictly to any special instructions, dietary needs, and medication schedules. Whether in my home or theirs, the foundation of my pet care service is built on creating a secure, loving atmosphere that promotes the overall happiness and well-being of the furry companions entrusted to me.
“We have a newly adopted senior dog with severe separation anxiety after the loss of his previous owner. Leaving him home alone proved unsuccessful. In searching for a solution we found Jennifer and Alex. We are so relieved Jennifer and Alex welcomed Jett into their home and provided a safe, loving, fun place. He socializes with their pets beautifully and we get to enjoy the texted photos showing him happy and at ease with their three dog pack.”
“Kristina is so kind and I just know my pup will have a blast each time she goes over. Very attentive and sends updates in the day which is nice. I definitely trust and recommend Kristina for future dog care”
“My dog always got so excited when it was time to drop her off for daycare in the morning and was always tired in the evening when it was time for pickup! She always seemed to have a great time. Couldn't recommend enough!”
“This was our first time booking a sitter/boarder for Lola and we had a great experience with Robin. I was fortunate to be able to book with her on fairly short notice for a weekday. We went from a daycare visit to an overnight stay seamlessly. She accepted my unspayed dog, which was also very fortunate. Lola had a fenced in yard, gracious family with kid(s), a clean home, and animals to keep her company during her stay. Overall, I found her responsive, easygoing and very accommodating. I'd feel safe bringing Lola to her again in the future. :)”

“Emma was great with Luke! She took him on some of his favorite walks in the short time she got to watch him. She was punctual on her visits and remembered to lock our doors after she leaves 😉. With the normal app glitches, which affected us both, aside - it was a good experience and we would seek her out again.”
“Valarie did a great job walking our two dogs. When we had short notice that we needed coverage for our dogs while heading out of town, Valarie was quick to respond and set up a meet & greet. She agreed to take care of our girls and came as requested. She was communicative during each walk and sent great pictures. We hope she'll agree to more walks in the future!”
“It was our first meeting with Lisa and it was great! Our cat went right to her and our dog enjoyed all the petting. Lisa was very communicative and flexible (rain in forecast), and I appreciated that very much. We look forward to future visits.”
“Melody and Rufus enjoyed their time with Anne. Anne took great care of them both and we will be having her take them both for walks weekly. Thank you for being so great with our dogs💕”
“Natascha was an amazing rover for Kirk! He enjoyed being walked by her so much, he walked more then the will let me walk him. Very understanding and great with Kirk and his shyness of other dogs!”

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was a teenager, and they've always held a special place in my life. I had my beloved dog, Chico, for 16 wonderful years before we eventually lost him to old age and health issues. Although he was small, he had a HUGE personality and was basically my sidekick. He went just about everywhere with me: dog parks, camping, hiking, beach adventures, road trips, and yes, probably more dog-friendly pubs than the average dog. 😂 At the beach, his absolute favorite activity was sniffing every single piece of driftwood like it contained critically important information. And after all those adventures, he was happiest snuggled up next to me under approximately 47 blankets. Caring for Chico through every stage of his life, from an energetic young pup all the way through his senior years, gave me firsthand experience with how much a dog's needs can change over time and how much love, patience, and companionship they deserve along the way. Over the years, I've also become the go-to person for friends and family when they need someone they trust with their dogs. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pup's personality because, as any dog person knows, they ALL have one! After 16 years with Chico, our home definitely feels a little too quiet without a dog in it. Getting to welcome other people's pups into our lives and give them some of that love we've been missing is something my whole family really enjoys. So while you're away, there's a pretty good chance your dog will be getting spoiled with attention over here. 🐾 My schedule is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to spend with the pups in my care! My main daily routine is getting my kids to and from the bus stop, which is close enough that we can easily walk when needed. I'm home throughout most of the day, so pets in my care won't be spending long stretches of time alone. I have plenty of flexibility for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-ins, and I'm excited to fill some of that extra time caring for new furry friends! Your pet's safety and comfort will always come first! In my home, pups are welcomed into our everyday family life and treated like one of our own. We have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where they can safely get outside throughout the day. We currently don't have any pets of our own after losing our beloved dog, Chico, after 16 wonderful years together. We definitely miss having a pup around and love getting the chance to give our furry guests all that extra love and attention while they're here! I'll follow your dog's feeding, medication, potty, sleeping, and other care instructions as closely as possible. I also understand that some dogs settle in immediately while others need a little extra time and space to feel comfortable, and I'm happy to follow their lead. When caring for pets in your home, I'll treat your home and your pet with the same respect and care I'd want someone to show mine. I'll follow your instructions closely and always make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure. And of course, expect photo updates! I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pup is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

While also keeping you informed and letting you know how things are going with pictures and messages!

“Fantastic walker. She is so kind and you can tell just how much she loves animals. As it’s been getting hotter, she has made sure to check pavement temperatures so it isn’t too hot and is so flexible with making the walks earlier when it’s cooler. Really impressed and absolutely fantastic!”
“Sabrina is punctual, reliable, communicative, and kind. Updated me daily with pics of my pup, and even spent a little time with my cat while checking on my dog. Would absolutely work with her again!”

About: I currently have a 10 year old Golden Retriever named Blaze. She is has an easy going and fun loving personality. She is a wonderful addition to our family. She brings joy and comfort into my life. I know the importance of caring for your pet because let’s face it they're our furry children. Life can get busy with work and other responsibilities. So it's hard to find a dependable, fun loving pet lover to help out. Well look no further because I can offer such services. I believe I can offer the care your pet deserves. I am dependable, reliable, a self starter, and hard working individual. I am available during the week and weekends by appointments only. If you are interested please contact me by phone or text. I’m currently looking into enrolling into a radiology program part time. I have open availability to walk and to care for your family pet as needed.

And I will follow your instruction for the care of your family pet.
About: I saved my Chihuahua, Thistle, from a kill shelter when he was 18 months old. I nursed him through being hit by a car, helped him gain weight from being underfed, and encouraged him to be a confident dog (he was extremely anxious) through training and gentle love and care. From this, I learned how to administer medications to animals, so I can provide this kind of care to your fur babies also. My Chihuahua is now a senior dog, but you wouldn’t be able to tell with how active he is! He gets lots of walks and play time, and he loves it best when I get on the floor with him. I am comfortable getting to know your pet and giving them the level and type of attention that they need! I looked into breed specific care, and Chihuahuas have weaker joints, so I put him on a joint supplement right when I got him, and it has really made a difference in his mobility and quality of life. It’s important to administer care to animals in the specific way that is best for them! I would show the same consideration to your pet. That includes factoring in their temperament. As my dog has gotten older, his needs around personal boundaries have increased, so I make sure to check in with him before petting him, picking him up, or otherwise touching him, and I do not touch him if he gives me a no, except in an actual emergency (i.e. the animal could be hurt or hurt someone else if I do not touch them). Instead, I do something else and check in again later. This allows me to establish a real felt sense of safety and trust with your pet. I also had cats all growing up, and have a real affection for them, as well as a clear understanding of their boundaries. I would be honored to care for your pet family just as I care for mine! I currently freelance, which means I have the freedom to take care of your pets whenever you need me to. I can be flexible to your needs. As my dog is a people’s dog and not a dog’s dog, I offer my services in your home. I can walk your pet, do a drop-in visit, or housesit! I will follow your instructions to the letter, and ask about any specific or special care your pet might need.
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs because my mom bred and boarded champion Cocker Spaniels. From a young age, I helped walk, bathe, groom, feed, and care for them, which gave me a genuine love for animals. As an adult, I had a Black Lab who was my best friend for many years. After he passed away a couple of years ago, I realized how much I missed having pets in my life. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet with the same patience, affection, and attention I’d give my own. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours that way too. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine. I enjoy being active, going on walks, and spending time with animals, so making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and affection they need is something I genuinely look forward to. I am off Sunday-Tuesday and have availability then. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ll follow your routine closely, making sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I’ll also keep your home clean and secure, respect your pet’s unique personality and needs, and send updates so you know they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away

“This was my first booking with Rover and Charis and it was fantastic. Charis communicated in a timely manner, great with our dog, and the drop off and pick up process was amazing. We will rebook with Charis in the future as she was just the best!”
“Steven and Rachel took great care of Daisy! They sent us plenty of updates and responded quickly to any questions. Daisy had a blast playing with their Daisy and they took care of her additional health requests. We’ll definitely ask them to watch her again the next time we go on a trip :)”
“We were so happy that Atlas had a great time! Cara kept us updated with pictures and videos. She asked questions if she felt she needed to and Atlas had so much fun he's just slept since he got home (for an Irish Setter, this is a big deal! They're always going! ). We will 100% be working with Cara again, and Atlas cannot wait to go play with both of the Junipers again.”
“Hongyee was a wonderful host for Ruby’s stay. She took extra time to insure that she was comfortable with her home and environment before introducing Ruby to the other dogs. The location great, giving the dogs a lot of space to socialize and play. They all got along well. We will be back soon. Thank you Hongyee!”
“My pup had the best stay with Celia and her family. She was very kind from the start and accommodated us last minute. From the pictures she took I can tell he was well taken care of. Looking forward to booking again. If you want your pup to have a blast, book with Celia too! You won’t regret it.”
“David and his family were so great taking care of Mr.Weenie! It was a huge sense of relief knowing he was in good hands during his stay. David sent updates with pictures and videos. Mr weenie was given a lot of love and attention along with baths and play time. I will definitely be using David again in the future!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who friends and family regularly trust to care for their pets while they travel. I have two friendly golden retrievers who truly love other dogs and are gentle, playful, and well-socialized. I’m experienced with a wide range of personalities—from high-energy pups who need lots of playtime to senior dogs who prefer a calm, cozy environment. I treat every dog as if they were my own, paying close attention to routines, feeding schedules, medications, and individual quirks. Your dog will enjoy plenty of love, supervised play, and a safe, comfortable home where they’re never just “watched,” but genuinely cared for. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and a calm, structured environment. I’m available for both short-notice needs and bookings well in advance as you plan your travels. My goal is to be your go-to sitter whenever you need reliable, loving care. I have a large fully fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized golden retrievers who enjoy playing in the backyard by a game of chase and/or fetch. I closely monitor playtime and all interactions, follow each dog’s routine, and can crate, separate, or provide quiet space if needed in order to keep all dogs in my care stress/free, comfortable and happy. Safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities. This isn’t just a place where you drop your dog for the day or for a trip. It’s a calm, loving environment where dogs feel safe and loved while you’re away. I choose thoughtful exercise and enrichment to keep them happy and give them plenty of opportunities to burn energy and excitement.
“James is always wonderful with Bonnie! His patience, attentiveness, and genuine care make every interaction positive and enjoyable. Bonnie responds so well to his calm demeanor and thoughtful approach. Whether it's during her stay with him, walks, or just spending time together, James consistently demonstrates reliability and kindness. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate individual. His dedication and expertise truly set him apart, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found someone as exceptional as James.”
“Bailey and Kyle were amazing! My pup Coco had soo much fun playing with their dog and she was well taken care of. Their huge fenced in backyard was definitely a bonus! I would definitely use them again!”
“Anitra was so great to my Charlie Boy! I loved getting pics throughout the day and he seemed so happy. I also really appreciate her flexibility! I needed someone last minute and she totally came to the rescue allowing me to book the last minute boarding. Thank you and next time I’m in town I’m so ubioking her again!”
“Our kitty was cared for and we received frequent pictures and communication from Kyah! It allowed our family to fully enjoy our trip. Kyah will be our first choice always! Also, kitty is just as kind and loving as when we left him in the care of Kyah. He may even be a better kitty…says a lot of how well he was nurtured!”
“Kayla and Jacob took amazing care of our energetic lab. The property was great for our dog to play and explore. Their family treated our dog as one of their own, making us feel at ease while we were away for an extended time. Would definitely use again!”
“I am living for a few months near Poulsbo and needed to find a dog sitter in the area. I connected with Brianna and we visited briefly before my trip. I immediately felt comfortable with her. She took great care of Romeo, sent me photos and updates and was easy to communicate with. My dog is small and he got along with their much larger dog. I highly recommend Brianna as a caring dog sitter.”
“Mike was a true gift during a very emotional and busy time. With family in town for my father’s funeral, I needed a peaceful place for my dog Bo to stay for a few days. Mike and Shari welcomed him into their beautiful, woodsy home—with picture windows that Bo immediately wanted to look out, and a calm, comforting vibe. When I picked him up at the end of his stay Bo was a relaxed and happy dog! Thanks guys!”
“Sara was amazing!!! She kept me up-to-date on my pups the entire time & made sure they received lots of love. I would definitely recommend her & will be using her services again in the future ?”
“It was my dog's first time boarding since I adopted him in January. He was so excited to see Kha and even happier to be able to run around a big yard with her dogs. Kha took great care of Wolfgang, treated him like he was past of their family and sent me lots of pictures and videos of his time there.”
“Alex was fantastic with our dog Onyx. We received regular updates, and Onyx and Alex's dog got along great. They managed integrating Onyx with their dog very well and didn't rush anything allowing them to establish a good relationship. They have a very nice, quiet space and are available with your pet the majority of the time if not constantly. I would definitely recommend Alex to any friend that needed a dog watched.”
“Alexa was fantastic! She’s a needle in a haystack. It’s become impossible to find someone to watch our pup who isn’t also boarding ten other dogs. She’s responsible, communicative, and we felt confident leaving Biz with her for a long weekend. Thank you!”
