Personalized care for your dog or cat - Halford
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Halford
“I would recommend Michael & Leslie H. I would certainly use them again. Despite some technical challenges in our communications during my trip they handled every professionally and took great care of my dog”
“Victor took care of my 4-month-old Labrador puppy, Ginger, for a full week while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Ginger is still very young—she isn’t fully potty trained or fully trained in general—so caring for her is truly a full-time job. Victor showed incredible patience, kindness, and dedication throughout. Ginger even ripped some of his dog’s toys, and he never once complained. He handled every challenge with understanding and care, and Ginger was clearly happy and well looked after. I’m extremely thankful to Victor and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and compassionate to care for their pet.”
“Riitta is by far the best dog sitter we have ever had take care of our Shih Tzu, Belle. Riitta is a small dog specialist and has years of experience taking care of them, so it was an easy decision to leave our little girl in her care. Riitta has a beautiful large, fenced backyard, a doggie pool for those hot summer days and takes the little pack inside her air conditioned home when it gets too hot. She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated with Belle's daily routine and her interaction with all the other dogs. Riitta even hand-fed Belle (she's a picky eater) and had her sleep with her. Riitta is very caring and treats every dog like they're one of hers. It was a huge relief to find Riita and I will continue to use her invaluable service in taking care of our beloved Belle. Her daily rate is comparable to some kennels, but Riitta's dogs are not in a crate or a pen, they have a grassy playground and play with toys, have a pool, a ball pit. It's like summer camp for little dogs. I highly recommend Riitta as a sitter for your small dog. She's amazing!”
“We used John for the first time with our Husky and Pomeranian and the dogs had a great time. They were well taken care of and well loved. We received a number of pictures during our brief vacation and that was very reassuring. We will definitely use John as our Rover contact again. Thanks John for your attentive care.”
“Kali provided a great experience for our first use of Rover.com. When I brought Gracie over to introduce her to the location and to Kali, it quickly became obvious that Kali had both the personal presence and the knowledge to handle both day to day living, and unforeseen situations should they occur. She was also able to be flexible in drop off/pick up arrangements. When it was time to retrieve Gracie, it was obvious that my often-aloof dog had become fond of her. I recommend Kali as a sitter to any who are considering her.”
“Natalie is amazing! My dog Ellie can struggle with anxiety and fear meeting new people/places, but she seemed immediately comfortable with Natalie during our meet and greet. She was very accommodating, asked great questions at drop off to make sure Ellie was comfortable, and provided updates and photos throughout the stay. We will definitely use her again, I think Ellie was sad to say goodbye.”
“Lisa provides our family with time away free from any worries about our dog Lucky. She truly loves caring for our dog, gives us ideas for training and fun outings, and communicates consistently and with fun details. We appreciate Lisa’s professional care and true love for animals and people.”
“Jenny took care of our neighbor's dog Willow for us when we were taking care of it and had to leave unexpectedly for 3 days, the boarding experience went very well and she was very thoughtful and asked good questions prior to the boarding. Willow had a great time playing with her dog and when I came to pick her up Jenny had Willow's crate all packed up with her things and ready for me, which I really appreciated. Willow is a dog who can be anxious at times but it was obvious that she felt very comfortable with Jenny. We are pretty picky about who watches our pooches and are glad to have found someone in Gold Bar who we feel good about recommending or using for our own dogs.”
“Thank you Xiaoshqn and Xiuli for taking good care of Simba, it was a very last minute request, but you were still able to accommodate Simba! He came home happy:)”
“We needed to find a sitter for our dog in the middle of a road trip, and Margaret happily accommodated our unique situation and took great care of our dog Callie. Margaret communicated often, and was quick to respond when we had questions. She also had a video chat with us before the booking, to help ensure we were all comfortable. Margaret did a great job taking care of Callie.”
“We recently had our 12 year old lab Eloise stay with Lulu (Lourdez) over the 4th of July weekend. This was her first dog sit with Rover and she did an excellent job. She sent me an update twice a day with pictures and Eloise seemed to be having a good time and getting out on regular walks. If you live in the Talus area and need a dog sitter I highly recommend Lulu and plan to use her services again.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Rochelle caring for our Sylvia, for a full week. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such caring and capable hands while we were away. Rochelle kept us updated with regular messages and photos, and it was clear Sylvia was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When we picked her up, she was relaxed, healthy, and clearly had been given plenty of love and attention.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Romy! She took excellent care of Uni and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We received regular updates, photos, and could tell our dog was happy, comfortable, and well loved. Romy was reliable, communicative, flexible and treated our dog like her own. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter.”
“Hyeyoung and her family took great care of George! She sent great updates each day about George. Her photos are amazing! She made George look like a vogue doggy. I will 100% be rebooking with her!”
“Kim took such great care of our Pomeranian! It was so nice getting photos of Minnie running around with the other pups. She came home happy, well-cared for, and exhausted, like she had been at summer camp!”
“Robin took fantastic care of our baby and she was excellent about keeping us updated on how he was doing. We will definitely use her again and I’d highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Chris is an excellent host & a great guy. Just by talking to him, you'll come to learn the kind of observation he makes about dogs & level of care he provides. He shared good feedback about our dog and gave me a couple of tips/ideas through our conversations and I intend to make those happen. He also sent photos every day with small and funny messages to go with; which made the kids happy while our family was away on a trip. If you're reading these reviews and considering Chris, we highly recommend him! Thanks, Chris for taking care of Rubble!”

“This was my first time using Robin and I couldn't be happier. I have an old cat and Robin did a great job making sure she received her meds when needed and offering cuddles and companionship. She was excellent at communicating with me and letting me know everything was good at home. Robin is a very caring person and it showed in the way she took care of my cat. Lots of cuddles and playtime. I was able to have a worry-free vacation. Something I haven't experienced before. The house looked great when I returned as well. I highly recommend Robin and I plan on using her again.”

I am planning on going to college in the fall for marine biology, I have a car and am willing to drive. I am currently unemployed and am looking to find some solid ways to make money for college by doing something I love. I will cater to your pets needs and do whatever needs to be done to give you and your pets a stress free environment. I can take them to appointments, I know how to crate, give injections, I will follow how YOU want the animal to be cared for, whether that’s by giving them space or attention.
“The cats loved their time with Kali! Kali took exceptional care of them during my time away and it was very clear how grateful they were having Kali check up on them from the photos she took!”
About: I have 27 years of experience in veterinary medicine as a veterinary assistant. I'm comfortable administering oral medications and injections, caring for senior pets, and monitoring pets with special medical needs. I understand how important it is to provide patient, compassionate, and reliable care so your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable visits, walks, feeding, medication administration, and companionship throughout the day. I understand the importance of consistency and communication, and I enjoy spending quality time with pets while helping them maintain their normal routines when their families are away.

I follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions carefully, while monitoring for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health. With 27 years of veterinary experience, I understand the importance of safety, attention to detail, and clear communication with pet owners.
“Greetings from Gold Bar ~ This was our first booking with Jordan. She approaches animal care with true professionalism and a very friendly touch. We could tell by the photographs that Max [our aging kitty] was very content throughout our time away. Max is like a puppy-that-purrs. He needs the kind of companionship that dogs want but also his private napping time. Jordan intuitively understood his requirements. This resulted in a happy feline and relaxed owners!”
About: My name is Shannon and I am 42 years old. Me and my husband currently have 4 crazy dogs who we take on adventures all the time. I have worked as a veterinary assistant for the past 11 years. I am working part time and I am hoping to fill some of my free time walking dogs. I am very experienced with handling dogs in all situations. I have done dog walking and pet sitting in the past. I am available most weekdays and some weekends. Currently working part time as a veterinary assistant. I would love to have regular walks scheduled but can be available for last minute needs. I will not be bringing dogs to my home or bringing my dogs around any other dogs as my dogs do not get along with other dogs. I have my own very reliable vehicle that I can use to transport pets if needed for different walking experiences.
“Gypsie and Robby were great! My cat needed checked on once a day while I was on vacation. They were always on time, spent quality time with my kitty and sent multiple pictures!”
“Holly is an amazingly friendly and skilled pet caretaker! She was communicative and showed up on time every day. I was so grateful to have her to help me give my kitty his meds while my wife was away. She clearly has an enormous amount of experience with animals at all different stages of life, and my grumpy old man took to her very quickly and she handled him without any issues. She handled him better than any of the vets he's seen, in person or at home, so clearly she's some sort of Cat Whisperer! ^-^”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a young child. I currently have a 7 year old chihuahua. My chihuahuas name is Toby and he is a rescue. If you would like more information about my dog, please ask. I also have a resuce cat named Clyde who is 1 years old, who stays outdoors most of the time. I have great experience with walking dogs.

I will always provide my best attitude and give the animals the best experience while working with me. I am free 24/7 to care for animals. I can provide a separate room for those dogs who are shy, or not friendly. I have an unfenced yard, but can take them out on leashed, or I have a leash that can be staked into the ground that can be used. I am available 24/7 to care for the animals in my care. I currently watch dogs and cats full time, while working on other small businesses. I have an unfenced yard, but will walk them on leash outside if needed. I can also crate if needed, or required from owner. We also can take dogs to the lake stevens dog park, to get out their energy.
“I cannot even begin to explain how much of a lifesaver Rebecca was while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond in everything she did. I didn't worry about my kitty at all while I was gone because I knew she was in such good hands. She was super responsive and sent me lots of pictures of my girl so I didn't miss her quite so much. We will definitely be using Rebecca for our next vacation if she is available!”

“Love dropping our dog Timber off here! We left her here once as a puppy and again today & it was lovely that they remembered her! They've got a great big fenced yard that's always filled with loving dogs who are ready to play w our Timber. Easy drop off and an affordable price, can't be beat!”

She was very attentive and you can tell she just loves animals. I will definitely be using her as s regular sitter in the future, in fact Ive got her taking care of Oscar at our home this weekend!”
About: Hello my name is Jenny. I currently live in Gold Bar, but I am more than willing to travel to the Monroe area, as far East as Index. I grew up with pets my entire life, everything from goats to ferrets & everything in between. I can not remember a time in my life that I did not have some sort of pet around. I have a very flexible schedule as I am home full time. I am available everyday during the week & Saturday. I can be at your place as early as 6:00am and as late at 3:00pm. As of right now I am not able to watch your dog at my home or overnight stays at my home as our backyard fence is being repaired. With that being said I am more than eager to come to your home to watch your furry friend(s). I am open to coming over to do potty breaks, walks, small hikes or anything else that is needed. As of right now I do not have any dogs but I do have 3 cats, we are in the process of getting a dog from the Everett Humane Society. I believe every dog/animal deserves a home. Unfortunately the following pictures you will see do not contain dogs, they are my cats as I have lived in a apartment for the last 9 years that did not allow dogs. 6 months ago we moved into a 3 bedroom 1238 sq foot house, so the hunt for a dog/puppy is on. I can't wait to have a dog in my life again, be it one of my own or your dog(s). I am home at all times, which allows me to be able to spend the entire day/night with your pup. I am available Mon - Sat from 6:00am to 3:00pm. I have a fairly good size backyard that is completely fenced, when the pups need to go out someone is out there with them at all times. If it is an overnight stay, I do have a crate if they are crate trained.
About: I am genuine and very open to communication. I love pets and meeting them. I care for pets as they are my own providing safety, fun and loving environment. I work from home and I have a lot of free time. I have a big yard and I enjoy the company of pets. Walking and playing with them helps me as lot too! I have a small yorkie and a big fenced backyard. I have a lot of nature around me and lots of energy for pets! Since I have my own pet I know how to care for other dogs and make sure they are safe and happy
About: I have had small dogs my entire life and recently lost my beloved fur baby after 18 wonderful years together. Caring for senior dogs has always been a meaningful part of my life. But, welcome all ages. I have extensive experience providing the extra love, patience, and care that older dogs need, including managing the challenges that come with aging. All of my dogs have lived beyond 15 years old, and I have personally experienced the many stages of senior care—from mobility changes and special routines to simply providing comfort, companionship, and a safe, loving environment. I understand that senior dogs require extra attention, and I treat every dog as a cherished member of the family. I currently work full time from home, which allows me to provide constant companionship, attention, and care throughout the day. Your beloved family member would never be left alone and would receive the same love, patience, and comfort that I have always given my own dogs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I would treat your dog as if they were my own. While I do not have a fenced yard, I provide a safe and supervised environment at all times. Your dog would always have my full attention and would either be right by my side or safely on a leash when outside. Their safety, comfort, and happiness would always be my top priority.
“Dawn was fantastic with Pepper! She took great care of her, and Pepper was happy and comfortable the whole time. Super easy to communicate with, and the scenic drive out to her place was a lovely bonus. We’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
“Our border collie Luna enjoyed every day with Melissa and her family! Melissa is super communicative and is eager to learn about what works best for you and your doggo. Melissa's three children loved playing ball with Luna and she loved all their attention! We highly recommend Melissa and family for your next doggie daycare/boarding.”

I also have experience with cats and a variety of animals. Over the years, I've cared for everything from iguanas to ferrets and truly enjoy working with animals of all kinds. I currently work part-time, typically during the mornings, which leaves the rest of my day flexible for pet care. This allows me to provide attentive care, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, feeding, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I have a lifelong love of animals and enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. During our meet and greet, I'll take the time to learn about your pet's routine, needs, personality, and any special quirks or preferences. My goal is to provide consistent, attentive care that helps your pet feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you're away.

Your road trip is taking longer then expected? No worries I'm happy to work with you as long as I'm updated! I LOVE ANIMALS putting in the time an dedication to an animals care, needs an happiness throughout their stay. I like to give updates an send photos. My favorite is seeing how excited a dog gets during pick up after a stay it's so heartwarming an just flat out adorable.

I expect all dogs that come into my care to be dog friendly for the safty of all pets involved with reliable recall. I like to accommodate pets to the best of my ability I get immense joy from being able to take care of animals of all kinds. I would love if in your animals care package they have at least 1 toy, harness is preferable, something that smells like you an your home like their bed or a blanket (animals are smell based so it a comfort), their food bowl, dog food enough for the stay.

“If I could give Manish 6 stars I would! He agreed to watch my two Malinois last minute, one of whom is a bit reactive. He prioritized a meet’n’greet to make sure all dogs felt comfortable; I was at ease instantly seeing him work the dogs through calming exercises to get to know each other. My reactive pup calmed down within minutes and ended up having a great time with his dog, Odin. He sent photos during their doggy day care visit and the pups came home happy and tired. Definitely recommend, I will book again!”
“Melodie was wonderful with Pepper! She kept us updated throughout the day and made us feel completely at ease. Pepper had so much fun and got lots of playtime and attention. We’d absolutely trust Melodie with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter. The best review Pepper can give is that she came home happy, exhausted, and slept the rest of the evening!”

About: We have been around animals all our life since living on a small family dairy farm including 4-H as a kid. We can care for all types of animals. We can administrator shots and pills. I am currently working part time with a very flexible schedule. My husband is retired and loves animals as well. So your fur baby will get 2 for 1 as he also loves to care for animals too. Pets are less stressed and relax more when in their own home. While you are away you know your pets are being well cared for in their own environment.

“Olivia was prompt both in responsiveness and dog care. She was able to navigate my dog’s uncooperative attitude by taking time to butter him up with love and treats. I appreciated Olivia’s help and look forward to booking her again.”
About: Honestly, I'm just a huge animal lover. I've got a goofy Lab-Pittie mix who's my best buddy, and I still miss my two sweet Norwegian Lundehunds like crazy. I'd absolutely love to spend time with your dog, whether it's a long hike, a park visit, or just some good cuddle time. Since I'm home all the time, I'm super flexible. I'm also happy to handle any special needs or meds – they'll be treated like part of the family, I promise! Can't wait to meet your furry friend! I'm semi-retired so my time is flexible. I can be there for your fur baby early in the morning or later into the evening. Weekends are no problem and I'm even available on holidays! I get it – your pet is special, and their care should be too. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I take the time to really listen to you and observe your pet, so I can provide exactly what they need, whether it's a good walk, a timely meal, or just some quiet comfort. I'm here to be a reliable and loving presence for your pet in your own home
About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was 4 years old - rescue, pure bred, small, large, everything in between! Dogs are special beings and I find so much joy in taking care of them outdoors through a walk, stroll, or hike - where they belong, with nature. I’m free every single day of the week to assist with your pet care needs. Monday through Sunday, morning and night, I am available to help. My family lives in a 4 bedroom house with a fenced backyard. We let them roam free, with access to outdoors via doggy door at all times.
About: I am an experienced obedience dog trainer who wishes for a work-life balance helping animals!! Animals have been my passion throughout my life, ranging from reptiles, rodents, to dogs. My goal is to further expand my knowledge in dog training and to learn everything there is to help guide me into more opportunities working with furballs! Having animals of my own, as well as having many in the family, has given me experience with handling. This is where I have learned and practiced skills such as dog training, intervening with disputes, administering medicine, and much more. I also love the outdoors, so hiking is something I love to do with my dogs to burn out their energy. During my experience at ABC (Animal Behavior College), I worked with trainers where I learned techniques for impulse control, reactivity, puppies, and even some service dog training. I also worked with the behavioral specialist at the Everett Animal Shelter where I am provided a list of dogs to work with and make them more adoptable :) I am flexible most days!! I work a full-time job at the moment but have a mixed schedule between days and nights. This makes it easier to do drop-ins/walks during the weekend and then sitting at night during the week! I currently live in a camper with not a lot of room to host doggies here. However, I will be moving to Burlington area soon and will have a much bigger area to hopefully board overnight!!
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a young child. I currently have a 7 year old chihuahua. My chihuahuas name is Toby and he is a rescue. If you would like more information about my dog, please ask. I also have a resuce cat named Clyde who is 1 years old, who stays outdoors most of the time. I have great experience with walking dogs. I have always grown up with smaller dogs, such as chihuahuas. I recently had an internship at the wildlife rehabilitation center, and that taught me how to care for animals. I will always provide my best attitude and give the animals the best experience while working with me. I am free 24/7 to care for animals. I can provide a separate room for those dogs who are shy, or not friendly. I have an unfenced yard, but can take them out on leashed, or I have a leash that can be staked into the ground that can be used. I am available 24/7 to care for the animals in my care. I currently watch dogs and cats full time, while working on other small businesses. I have an unfenced yard, but will walk them on leash outside if needed. I can also crate if needed, or required from owner. We also can take dogs to the lake stevens dog park, to get out their energy.
About: I've taken care of of family pets since at least 8 years old, I've trained puppies. Ive always loved animals and I've had Dogs, Cats, and Reptiles. I've never missed a feeding time for any of our pets. I make sure to feed our dogs in the morning and the night, or whatever schedule has been asked. But I have plenty of free time for playing with my animals. Well I love to walk so dogs always get enough exercise, and I make sure to groom my dogs monthly, and I make sure to feed all of my pets well enough.
“Robin helped us out by spoiling our dog Maya with lovely nature walks for a week. Robin was so kind and loving with Maya, and Maya was super excited to see her every day. I loved all of the pictures we received; seeing Maya that happy made our week. Robin genuinely cares for the animals she works with.”
About: I had a dog for my whole life, and cared for him from puppy to senior, so I know how to care for a dog at any stage of its wonderful life! I have also watched dogs of all sizes, from a chihuahua to a weimaraner! I am very active and would love to walk and play with your furry friend! I am VERY available this summer, and would love to care for your pet! I have a big car love to be outside and active! I am very clean and organized, trustworthy, and reliable. I am devoted to creating a safe environment for your pet! I make sure to clean up all areas and make sure your pet is healthy, happy, and comfortable!
About: Hi pet parents + fur babies! I have 11+ years of experience working with animals personally and professionally, and almost 7 years of experience with dogs that have behavior or medical challenges. In the past 2 years I have worked closely with many reactive, fearful, shy, rowdy, and stranger-danger dogs. I use positive reinforcement and Fear Free models in any training that I do while with a dog or cat. I have extensive experience with puppies and kittens as well as senior dogs and cats. I have personal experience working with animals with medical issues such as seizures, pain, difficulty walking, and blindness/hearing loss. I feel very comfortable with working with your baby no matter the behavior or medical challenge (and can wrap their medication in however many hot dogs or cheese slices it takes!) If you’ve had trouble lately finding a pet sitter that can handle a rowdy, shy, jumpy, fearful, or medical case pet, I might just be the gal you’re looking for. Send me a message and let’s get to know each other! I am flexible and can work out dates, time and length of stay once we meet and see what works best for you and your baby. Safety is my top priority. (Although snuggles are a close second!) Jokes aside-throughout drop ins or walks, I can make sure your fur baby is in a safe environment while feeding, walking, or providing enrichment.
“She is great and goes out of her way to make sure your pet is comfortable and happy, she was really good about sending me pictures of my dog. I was really happy to find him in good health.”
About: I am an ER Veterinary Assistant of almost 10 years and Assistant Hospital admin that recently quit to stay at home with my daughters.

Due to my job, I am very capable of following strict written and oral instructions. I have reliable transportation and have very open availability. I am the proud parent of a rambunctious pup (and two kitties). No breeds or ages are off limits. I have references from work experience if you'd like to double check my reliability. I am available for drops ins and walks Saturday-Sunday and limited during the week. Sitting arrangements can be made during the week as well in advance. I have experience doing extended pet sitting stays for young and old pups. I am able to care for your pup however you would like. I am home all day, every day.

“I would recommend Michael & Leslie H. I would certainly use them again. Despite some technical challenges in our communications during my trip they handled every professionally and took great care of my dog”
“Kali provided a great experience for our first use of Rover.com. When I brought Gracie over to introduce her to the location and to Kali, it quickly became obvious that Kali had both the personal presence and the knowledge to handle both day to day living, and unforeseen situations should they occur. She was also able to be flexible in drop off/pick up arrangements. When it was time to retrieve Gracie, it was obvious that my often-aloof dog had become fond of her. I recommend Kali as a sitter to any who are considering her.”
“Lisa provides our family with time away free from any worries about our dog Lucky. She truly loves caring for our dog, gives us ideas for training and fun outings, and communicates consistently and with fun details. We appreciate Lisa’s professional care and true love for animals and people.”
“Jenny took care of our neighbor's dog Willow for us when we were taking care of it and had to leave unexpectedly for 3 days, the boarding experience went very well and she was very thoughtful and asked good questions prior to the boarding. Willow had a great time playing with her dog and when I came to pick her up Jenny had Willow's crate all packed up with her things and ready for me, which I really appreciated. Willow is a dog who can be anxious at times but it was obvious that she felt very comfortable with Jenny. We are pretty picky about who watches our pooches and are glad to have found someone in Gold Bar who we feel good about recommending or using for our own dogs.”
“We needed to find a sitter for our dog in the middle of a road trip, and Margaret happily accommodated our unique situation and took great care of our dog Callie. Margaret communicated often, and was quick to respond when we had questions. She also had a video chat with us before the booking, to help ensure we were all comfortable. Margaret did a great job taking care of Callie.”
“Chris is an excellent host & a great guy. Just by talking to him, you'll come to learn the kind of observation he makes about dogs & level of care he provides. He shared good feedback about our dog and gave me a couple of tips/ideas through our conversations and I intend to make those happen. He also sent photos every day with small and funny messages to go with; which made the kids happy while our family was away on a trip. If you're reading these reviews and considering Chris, we highly recommend him! Thanks, Chris for taking care of Rubble!”
“Somer and Thomas were so great. They helped us out of a jam by accepting a very last-minute boarding reservation for our senior Great Pyrenees. Rosalie stayed 3 nights and was very well taken care of. When we picked her up she was calm, happy, and tired. Somer seems very knowledgeable about dog care and behavior and she even picked up on a medical issue Rosalie has and kept her cool and comfortable through a hot few days. We very much appreciate it and would absolutely recommend Somer and Thomas for boarding.”
“Rebecca is absolutely fantastic! She is reliable, organized, competent, a dog whisperer, and gives our pup lots of love and walks. She provides videos and email updates. Would highly recommend.”
“Our energetic pup came back healthy and happy with Janin and her family! He got all the care abs exercise he needed in the week we were out of town and we were able to communicate with her daily to check on our little guy! Hope to see their family again!”
“Julie is such a warm and friendly person, and it is evident she genuinely cares about animals. Our dog, Daisy, was sad to leave her place. We're lucky to have found her and Daisy will be back to see her again soon. Thank you again Julie!”
“Amanda and Eric were wonderful sitters and caregivers to our lil pup! We had the chance to do a meet and greet, where our doggo met the family and gathered up all the sniffs (😂) . They communicated great, shared over frequent phone photos and took amazing care of our pup. 100% will be booking again!”
“This was our second time that our dog stayed with Kelsey and he loves it there. Kelsey is very communicative and takes great care of our dog. Would have our dog stay again.”
“Kramer LOVED Jessica! We are very thankful for how well she treated him with beautiful walks, playing with toys and letting him just follower her around. He really appreciated her letting him sleep with them. We loved the frequent updates with pictures; it really helped us deal with being away from him. We are so glad we found her to watch him when we need to go out of town.”
“Dawn is AMAZING! Our Ridgeback stayed with Dawn for 8 nights while we were away on vacation. Dawn and her family are caring, kind, and experienced. We could not have found a better person to watch Lima while we were away. We were very apprehensive about using Rover for such an extended period, but Dawn immediately put us at ease and was very communicative throughout the whole process. We could not recommend her more! Thank you Dawn!!!”
“Sarah and Benjamin were great hosts for Roscoe. He seemed really happy when he was with them and they sent great pictures and gave him lots of love and snuggles. I would definitely use them again. Than you!”
“Fantastic!! I booked Helen based solely on reviews from other clients and was not disappointed. She treated my babies like her own and they came home happy and loved. I have a chihuahua mix that I get concerned about leaving with other dogs, but she did great and got a lot of extra love and cuddles. I have already booked Helen again for another stay!”
