“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”


“Ritta was so sweet with Daisy and Daisy had a great time playing with the other dogs and running around the obstacle course that Ritta had set up. I would highly recommend Ritta for watching after your dog. Tony”

“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.”


“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.”
“Natalie is wonderful! As soon as we got there she made me and my girl comfortable. My dog is very perceptive with people and animals. If she isn’t comfortable she won’t go near them. Immediately my dog was wagging her tail and happy to be there. Likewise, when we picked her up she was happy. While greeting us she kept going back to Natalie as well. I will definitely want my girl to stay with Natalie again. What a relief to find a loving compassionate caring home for my girl when we need one”

“John did an amazing job taking care of Squash while we were on vacation. He also gave us daily uptakes and pictures. We will definitely contact John again to watch Squash!”

“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.”

“Our dog LOVES Krystina! She does an amazing job with him and I really can't think of anything she could do better. We feel so lucky to have her to take our dog to and that he feels so happy with her. My husband texted me after he picked him up "well I thought he would be happy to see me but he didn't want to leave..." 😂 100% will rebook”


“Dawn did a great job taking care of my dog, and she had a great time playing with her dog. Dawn, sent videos and pictures of the two dogs playing and sleeping. When I picked her up, she was happy and relaxed. I recommend her and will have my dog stay there again.”
“We can’t say enough great things about Lisa! She has been our go-to dog sitter for a while now, and it’s clear every time we leave our pups that they are in the best hands. Lisa treats our dogs like her own—with the utmost care, attention, and love. What really sets her apart is how communicative she is. We receive daily updates (sometimes more!) with photos and sweet notes about how our dogs are doing, what adventures he’s been on, and how they are spending their day. It’s honestly the highlight of our day—we always look forward to seeing what they are up to, and let’s be honest, they always seem to be having a better vacation than we are! Lisa has truly earned our trust. We’re repeat customers for a reason: she consistently goes above and beyond. Whether it’s a walk in the park, a cozy nap, or playtime with friends, we know our dogs (frenchie and mini schnauzer) is not just being watched—they are being cared for and loved like family. Highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate, and communicative sitter. We can’t wait to see the next round of pictures and adventures she shares with us!”


“Cynthia saved our weekend plans when our other sitter cancelled last minute! She sent pics to keep us updated and our dog came home pooped from playing with other pups.”

“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!”


“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.”

“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.”

“Our dog Zuzu loves coming to stay with Julie! She's always well taken care of and gets lots of play and cuddles 💕 and we get regular photos and updates, and peace of mind while out of town”

“Rochelle and her husband took such good care of our senior dog. She kept us updated on his adventures while we were traveling. I know that he enjoyed him time with them! Thanks for taking such good care of him. It was a pleasure.”
“Carrie cared for our 18 month old Labrador, Bolt. Bolt was well cared for and came home happy. It was great to receive regular updates and pictures. Bolt got his usual exercise in, played a lot of fetch and some pool time too. We will leverage Carrie’s time and services in the future for sure. Thank you!”

“Lori took great care of our two little dogs! She was very responsive and knowledgeable. This was the first time we’ve ever felt comfortable to leave our dogs with someone and will be repeat customers for sure!”

“I exclusively use this sitter for my Blue Heeler Sasha. The open space and level of care provided are second to none, communication is seamless and we always have a great chat when dropping off or picking up. 5/5 will always use this Sitter.”

“As usual, we didn't have to worry about how our pups were doing at Helen's house. Upon arrival they couldn't wait to get out of the car, just like little kids!!! it is nice to not have to worry, thanks Helen!!”

“Everything about Kali's drop ins was fantastic! She checked on all three of our cats, checked to make sure they were eating and drinking, as well as checked the litter box to make sure they were going to the restroom and they were healthy. I had some mildly complicated feeding instructions and they were no problem for her. Everything about the visits were a 10/10, and it really gave us peace of mind to stop worrying about our cats and just enjoy the trip. I couldn't recommend her enough for drop-in visits.”

“I returned home to a happy kitty! The photos and messages Robin sent after her visits were reassuring. She invested in getting to know his personality and the things he loves (like drinking out of a running faucet). I’m very happy to have found Robin and would definitely book again!”

“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!”

“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!”

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.

“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! ^-^”

An a little letter at least to tell me feeding an walking schedules.

“Our boy came home tired and happy from his daycare. Ana Clara was very attentive and considerate of our anxious puppy’s needs, and made sure to send pictures showing him relaxing and settling in. Highly recommend her!”

“Candra and her family took such great care of our dog! They were so loving and attentive to him. They cared for all of his needs. He had plenty of yard space to explore and got regular walks. She sent us pictures and kept us updated on how he was doing which we greatly appreciated. He came home very happy and we would absolutely book with them again!”

She also sent many adorable photos, videos and updates of our pups, which we loved and appreciated!

We highly recommend her and her family if you need someone to watch over your furry friends.”

About: I have experience with my current dog after going through several months of behavioral training as a puppy. I also have experience with senior dogs and cats growing up at my parents home. I also know how to administer medicine both orally and through ear medicine for cats. During the week, early mornings, late afternoons and evenings are best. On the weekends, late afternoons and evenings are best. With enough time, I can accommodate noon appointments. Feeding, outside time, cleaning litter box, and playing/exercise time will all be standard, but it depends on the needs of the cat. I can also administer medicine as well. If boarding at my own home, dogs will have a fenced yard for exercise.

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.

About: I grew up with animals - like quite a few! I've had cats since I was born, dogs since I was 8, a horse, a ferret, a bird, some fish...I've just always loved them! I would always take care of the neighbors' animals when they went out of town growing up, and have pet sat for many family members and friends. I even have some experience with goats and chickens :) I currently have a pug named Ricki, but live on a family compound with a great Swiss mountain dog, a pomeranian, and my mom's two frenchies visit often. I have a fairly flexible schedule throughout the week and would love to fill my days taking care of your fur babies I am currently without a pet for the first time in my life! Both of my senior pups passed during Covid after living long, healthy lives and while I'm not ready for another pet quite yet - I am really missing having an animal friend. I tend to have 3-4 day weekends and can be available during weeknights depending on time and location. I believe we are so lucky to have animals in our lives and want to do everything to keep them happy and healthy! I am available to pop in for a snuggle/play/walk session for your dogs or cats and am available for extended care in the right circumstances (house sitting or dog boarding). I do have a few dogs on the property (an 8 year old pug and a one year old great swiss mountain dog) so we would need to make sure everyone gets a long first. For dog walks, I would plan walk just your pooch to ensure they get the proper attention they deserve.
“Juan came by to take care of our kitties and it was perfect. He was communicative, respectful of our house, and did everything exactly as we wanted. Definitely rebooking with him again for Kitty care.”

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.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep commitment to treating every pet like my own. I go beyond basic care by prioritizing each animal’s unique personality, needs, and routines. I consistently communicate with pet parents, provide detailed updates, and ensure a safe, loving environment. My calm, dependable nature helps pets feel secure and happy while you’re away. I genuinely love what I do! I am also a 6’ athlete who can handle big dogs with ease. Pet care fits perfectly in my daily routine! I currently don’t have any other work obligations as I have recently graduated college and am looking to make some money doing what I love! I am a tidy person who is respectful of the environment, home, pets and any neighbors the client may have as well. I am a reliable communicator who genuinely cares for your pets and follows instructions carefully.

“My first time using rover and Olivia was wonderful with our elderly puggle! She walked Snugs for three days while I was traveling and my husband had to be at his office. Olivia was reliable, trustworthy, and even fed Snugs (upon request) on the day he was going to be home past her dinnertime. We’ll use Olivia again!”

About: Hello all! I've have dogs my whole entire life, and as I grew up I became more and more passionate to work and be around dogs. I've had multiple years of working at a dog daycare facility, as well as worked at a Petsmart in their boarding/daycamp. At this point I've taken care of hundreds of dogs! I have 3 dogs currently myself. An Australian Shepard, and Aussie/Border collie mix, and another lab/German shepard mix. I'm used to the high energy dogs for sure! I absolutely adore how every dog has a different personality. It's what makes them so special! I am currently looking for work after moving back in the area, so I have plenty of availability and give lots of time and focus to your pet! I pay close attention to dogs body language, and can recognize when they're scared/happy/angry. I've even had to save a dog from choking on a ball once! Of course I give all dogs the same love and attention as if they're my own. They deserve it!
About: I grew up with four dogs and two cats, I even have miniature donkeys! So I am no stranger to taking care of animals.

I have also dealt with animals with health issues and can adhere to those as needed

“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.”

“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.”
“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.”

“Our dog LOVES Krystina! She does an amazing job with him and I really can't think of anything she could do better. We feel so lucky to have her to take our dog to and that he feels so happy with her. My husband texted me after he picked him up "well I thought he would be happy to see me but he didn't want to leave..." 😂 100% will rebook”


“Dawn did a great job taking care of my dog, and she had a great time playing with her dog. Dawn, sent videos and pictures of the two dogs playing and sleeping. When I picked her up, she was happy and relaxed. I recommend her and will have my dog stay there again.”
“We can’t say enough great things about Lisa! She has been our go-to dog sitter for a while now, and it’s clear every time we leave our pups that they are in the best hands. Lisa treats our dogs like her own—with the utmost care, attention, and love. What really sets her apart is how communicative she is. We receive daily updates (sometimes more!) with photos and sweet notes about how our dogs are doing, what adventures he’s been on, and how they are spending their day. It’s honestly the highlight of our day—we always look forward to seeing what they are up to, and let’s be honest, they always seem to be having a better vacation than we are! Lisa has truly earned our trust. We’re repeat customers for a reason: she consistently goes above and beyond. Whether it’s a walk in the park, a cozy nap, or playtime with friends, we know our dogs (frenchie and mini schnauzer) is not just being watched—they are being cared for and loved like family. Highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate, and communicative sitter. We can’t wait to see the next round of pictures and adventures she shares with us!”


“Cynthia saved our weekend plans when our other sitter cancelled last minute! She sent pics to keep us updated and our dog came home pooped from playing with other pups.”


“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.”

“Our dog Zuzu loves coming to stay with Julie! She's always well taken care of and gets lots of play and cuddles 💕 and we get regular photos and updates, and peace of mind while out of town”

“Carrie cared for our 18 month old Labrador, Bolt. Bolt was well cared for and came home happy. It was great to receive regular updates and pictures. Bolt got his usual exercise in, played a lot of fetch and some pool time too. We will leverage Carrie’s time and services in the future for sure. Thank you!”

“I exclusively use this sitter for my Blue Heeler Sasha. The open space and level of care provided are second to none, communication is seamless and we always have a great chat when dropping off or picking up. 5/5 will always use this Sitter.”

“As usual, we didn't have to worry about how our pups were doing at Helen's house. Upon arrival they couldn't wait to get out of the car, just like little kids!!! it is nice to not have to worry, thanks Helen!!”


“When I picked up Covrig he was happy to see me but not thrilled. He had a lot of fun with the other dogs and I cannot wait for him to go again to his own little vacation at Todd's house.”

“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!”

“Margaret and Michael are wonderful dog people. They are welcoming, loving and kind. This was our Frenchie's second time in their home. Bean was excited the minute he walked in the door. It was obvious that Bean felt comfortable and safe in their care. I highly recommend them and will be bringing Bean to stay again.”

“Rebecca is everything you could ever want for your god in a sitter. Responsive, communicative, kind, caring, and trustworthy. You can tell how much she loves animals with the many updates and pictures to know they are being loved and cared for. I cannot recommend Rebecca enough to trust with your pet if you are in need of a sitter. Thank you for loving my pup as much as I do!”

“Once again, Barley was provided excellent care by Sarah and family. He's an old guy and they kept a close eye on him, gave him some extra help with walking when needed. This is a loving home offering compassionate care and we highly recommend them.”

“Our dogs had a wonderful time with Giovanna! She sent lots of pictures and videos and was flexible with our pick up time. We look forward to having them stay again!”

“Susan and David, as always thank you so much for caring for our girl. She had a wonderful time and is always so excited to see you 🙂. We appreciate the pictures to let us know she’s doing good! Liz and Jared”
