“Angela and her family are such a dog-loving and caring bunch! Echo is so lucky to be with them. Our sincere thanks to Angela, who took pictures and videos of their interaction with Echo! Elaine, Andy and Echo”
“Our pup had a great time at Kevin's house! He has a big fenced area where the dogs can run around and has trails around his property. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog there, as they are part of the family and can even sleep in his bed. We got lots of pictures and updates. Our dog loves chasing the ball, and they did lots of that! I would 100% recommend Kevin and am happy to have found a place for Argus when we are on vacation! Thanks Kevin and partner!!”
“I had to leave my dog for a longer period than I ever have before, and I was really nervous about it. That completely changed when I met Jerrie! She was so kind and understanding about my anxiety, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout my trip, she communicated consistently and sent photos, which made such a difference and helped me relax knowing my dog was in good hands. When I picked her up, it was clear my dog was happy to see me, but also that she had truly bonded with Jerrie and loved her. That meant everything to me. I will absolutely be using Jerrie from now on whenever I need to leave my dog. Highly recommend!”
“People say they love animals, but not everyone truly does! I believe Kimberly truly loves animals. I feel she treated my puppies like they were hers. I am fairly new to leaving my girls with a sitter, Kimberly put my mind at ease. She sent a lot of updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. I will have Kimberly watch Thelma and Louise anytime I need a sitter again.”
“How did I get so lucky as to find Scott on Rover? We started with a Meet-n-Greet and I immediately felt relief and comfortable that I found a great dog-person to take care of my dog HoneyGirl, while I was out of town for the weekend. He listened to our needs and asked questions about the care/attention that my dog needed. He even texted me with updates and photos. A++ thanks Scott !!!!”
“My little dog Macie had such a great time at keeps house! Keep was very good about sending me updates constantly and cute pictures of Macie. She groomed Macie and took her for several walks. I really appreciate that keep allowed Macie to come an extra day early (last minute) with no problem. On top of that I forgot to bring Macie food due to being so busy and she shared what she had no problem. I would definitely book with keep again. Thank you ?”
“Highly recommend. They have a beautiful home with a nice, spacious backyard. Marianne and Josh are kind and have a lot of experience with dogs. With two sweet dogs of their own, my dog had built in companions while I was away. They are warm, welcoming, and sent lots of cute/funny pics & updates. Your dogs will be loved open arms. So grateful my dog could spend the holiday with such a thoughtful, warm, and fun family! Thank you so much for loving Chai!”
“Alexis does a fantastic job of taking care of our Abbey. Walks, treats and fun! We can have a wonderful trip without having to worry about our sweet girl while she is with Alexis.”
“Toni was so great with our 2 pups. Very understanding of our dynamic with our oldest dog. She kept us updated at all times with pictures and messages of how the dogs were doing which put my mind at ease. Definitely recommend using Toni and will for sure be using her services again in the future!”
About: I am new to Rover, but have worked in the Animal Health Industry as a Veterinarian Technician (animal nurse) and outside sales/customer service for the past 30+ years. Along with the background check Rover provides, I also have a Business License and I am Insured/Bonded. Animal care is my only business/job. I have experience with most animals from reptiles to cattle and currently have a little 5 acre hobby farm with a horse, goats, chickens, dog and cat. I am very flexible with days you need pet care. My days are filled with animal care of my own/yours, walking/hiking, gardening and home/property projects. Your pets will be treated with great care while spending time with me. I have a gated 5 acre hobby farm with 1/2 acre fully fenced area around my home. My farm animals are fenced in separately for safety. I also have 3 acres of wooded trails/not fenced for leash walking. I am able to provide care and exercise depending on your pets needs and will only accept dogs that are not aggressive towards people or other dogs for a positive/fun experience. I have giant wire crates/bedding for night sleeping/feeding and can take up to 3 dogs. I would prefer same family, but may be some overlap with scheduling. Otherwise they will be spending time with me in my home and on my property. There are two large porches for either sunning or shade. I also have air conditioning. Please be up to date on vaccinations (including kennel cough), worming and monthly flea control. I live in a quiet/peaceful valley. Please no excessive barkers and bring their food, treats and special toys. If you have an older/well trained dog that would be happy sleeping in a dog bed at night, I can be accommodating. Especially, if I have no other dogs boarding here. Must have been crate trained at some point in their life. Waking up in the am to an intact couch is nice! 😊 Please allow enough time for a 1st time meet and greet prior to finalizing the booking. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family!
“Pamela was great for Tupac. He came back happy and as himself, most importantly. In the past my dogs have seemed a bit off or too thirsty when I get them back from sitters, but not this time. She took him on a walk and supervised him in her back yard playing with her dog, so he got a good amount of exercise. She also sent updates and photos, which was very reassuring. I highly recommend Pamela. I am not a very trusting person but I feel safe with her caring for my emotional support animal. She also ensures that all animals are properly vaccinated before she agrees to sit them, which I appreciate and isn’t always the case.”
“Kat recently watched over our little guy, Cooper, and it was a wonderful experience. We could tell from the moment we first met Kat that she loves dogs, especially Spaniels. Her location has plenty of room for your dog to get plenty of exercise, and our little Cooper definitely made some new friends. Kat sends photos and videos frequently, which were much appreciated. I would recommend Kat without hesitation, and would be thrilled to have her watch our little guy again.”
“Kristin was great! She sent me pics of my dog everyday and kept me updated with everything. I can tell that she took great care of my dog because she was so happy when I picked her up. Definitely want to book again :) thank you again, Kristin!”
“Our dog Odin loved his stay at Tonya's. He was definitely from all the fun with the other dogs. We don't trust many people with our pups. Tonyas great communication helped put us at ease being away from our boy. We will definitely reached back out for cars.”
About: Hi there! I'm Lane, available for dog walking and doggy daycare (for dogs that are good with cats) in the Olympia/Lacey area. I have over a decade of experience caring for animals, from volunteering at shelters, to training dogs in agility, working as a vet assistant, and house sitting. I am warm, patient, and respectful of the unique needs of each pup I work with. I am especially well-versed in interacting with shy/nervous dogs. I only use positive reinforcement. I work remotely so have a very flexible schedule for walking and sitting. I'm excited to give your dog lots of love and attention this summer! Note: my former name was Olivia, which you’ll see listed in my old reviews! I am currently between jobs in social work, so fully available to care for your pets and spend time getting outside in the city with them. I only care for pets in other people's homes, and will follow care instructions to a tee. I am respectful of your space and only focus on making sure your pet is happy and health when I am there.
“She deserves all the stars. Desiree and her husband welcomed me and my pup into their home. Took us out in the back yard, let me make sure Zeus was good to go. She sent me pictures and videos throughout the boarding. Waked Zeus. I could tell she treated him like one of her own. I highly reccomed Desiree!”
“Oh my gosh! We are so excited that we found Lauren! Not only is she a trained vet tech, but she was so kind and loving to our senior doggie! Our dog was happy to see us but without that “get me outta here” panic look!. Plus she is super responsive, smart, thorough, responsible, thoughtful and just all around sweet. We hope she continues providing boarding for dogs for a long while! Thanks, Lauren!”

“Austin has been a great help, doing drop in visits daily and playing with my pups- giving them lots of love and attention while we are away on a trip! Highly recommend him!”
“Emily was very communicative, even through the last minute notice and some challenging weather. It was a comfort to know our cat was well cared for in our absence.”
“Alexis was amazing! She worked with my odd hours and sent me great updates! She had an awesome system for the cats and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Would definitely recommend.”
“Carter was a great house and cat sitter. He left our house just as clean if not cleaner than when we left. He stripped the bedding and bathroom and kitchen towels, washed them and left them folded. We got great kitty updates each day with pictures. Just an overall friendly guy and took great care of our kitties. We look forward to booking Carter again!”
“Angela graciously accepted our last-minute boarding request for our cat and was incredibly accommodating, even when our we were delayed due to traffic and weather. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease—she is warm, caring, and clearly loves animals. She thoughtfully kept our cat separate from her dogs, which we really appreciated. Throughout the stay, our cat seemed comfortable, relaxed, and happy. Angela provided timely updates and was always quick to respond to our questions. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”
About: I am new to Rover, but have worked in the Animal Health Industry as a Veterinarian Technician (animal nurse) and outside sales/customer service. I am currently semi-retired and my only job/business is animal care in my home or yours. If your cat stays with me, I have a separate bed room (cats only) and up to 2 cats (one family only) where they can lay on the bed and have access to a litter box, scratch post, toys, food and water. Please be up to date on Vaccinations, worming and monthly flea control and bring their food.
About: As someone who deeply understands and appreciates the unique personalities of cats, I believe they deserve care that’s as thoughtful and intuitive as they are. To me, cats are family intelligent, emotional, and full of character. I offer reliable, gentle, and trustworthy care that respects their space while providing companionship and comfort. Whether your cat prefers quiet lap time or just a familiar presence nearby, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs and routines. With me, your feline friend will feel safe, loved, and completely at ease in your absence.

She took care of all their needs (we have 4 senior babies) and even checked off the list I left for her! She updated me with texts too which was really nice. Thank you Ronda!”

“We had a really great experience! Jett & Denver were well taken care of, and it was obvious they were happy. We got tons of updates and pictures, which we really appreciated. They were also super accommodating to our pets’ needs, which made everything so much easier. Will definitely book again!”
About: Animal lover here! I take very good care of dogs of all kinds as demonstrated by my volunteer and pet sitting experience. I have volunteered at shelters with scared dogs large and small, fostered and trained shelter puppies, was a babysitter for puppy raisers with Guide Dogs for the Blind and served client families as a professional pet sitter. My role for others' fur babies is to provide care so that they have their needs met in their parents' absence. I am a great surrogate parent! I like to keep dog routines continued to minimize stress on pets and their people. For parents that don't have the time or for dogs that can use additional exercise, I can take dogs out for walks. I have also been a cat mom of 4 at once and love cats too! I have my dog, Brodie, and my routine revolves around him. I make sure he gets the memtal and physical stimulation and exercise he needs to be healthy and happy. I want to help my clients and pets with this as well for their families. I have a fenced yard and very dog-friendly set up at home. At client's homes, I respect the space and help pets feel secure in their routines with attention and care.
“Scott was fantastic. Our pups had a great time with Scott and Nico. They were definitely well cared for and they made new friends. We would happily use Scott again when we visit Palm Springs!”
“Thank you all for being so welcoming to Sasha knowing she has separation anxiety and she’s only 13 weeks old. This was super new for my sweet Sasha and me, she seemed to do well once she warmed up to the new place animals and people, thank you for keeping me updated throughout the day, I appreciate all of the updates and photos, I’m so glad she had some small friends to play with while she was there, was very nice to meet you all.”
“Caitlin has been amazing with Nai’a! Though Nai’a is an anxious pup, she liked Caitlin instantly when we met the first time. Since then Nai’a has stayed over at Caitlin’s a few times and once Caitlin watched her at our house. One of the biggest challenges with Nai’a is that she runs away from her sitters. But, with Caitlin it’s finally been working out well and I feel so relieved to have found a regular sitter! Caitlin sends photos regularly and Nai’a seems to have fun at her house with her pups. Also, she is really sweet and flexible. Thanks so much for everything Caitlin!”
“Bobbie took wonderful care of our dog, Pistachio. Normally full of cattle dog energy, Chio was tired and happy when we picked her up. We’d definitely recommend Bobbie to sit your pup!”
“I usually would not leave my pet with someone I have not met, but when another sitter canceled on short notice, Desiree went the extra mile to accommodate us. Her friendly, prompt and clear communications assured us that he would be in good hands. She sent photos and updates through the day. Our Aussie was asleep in the car within minutes of pick up, which means he played hard all day. He will be excited to return!”
“Fantastic,willing to work with uncertain pick up & drop off times . Willing to go out of her way to do a meet & great before dropping her off the following day . My dog was comfortable with her house was perfect and secure”
About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life. I have a genuine love for being near animals and taking care of them because they brighten my day.

The doors are locked unless I or someone with a key unlocks them, i make sure that the dogs have a leash on before I open the door and that there are no cats near the door to run out.
“Deidre was amazing with our two whippets, Oliver and Finley! She has a spacious, fully fenced backyard where the boys had a blast running and playing.

About: I want to care for and spoil your dogs just as you would if you could be home. I have been working with pups going on 8 years. I began by walking dogs at a local humane society, then on to becoming a Certified Professional Dog Trainer. I absolutely love dog sitting and I have the skills to administer medications. Currently I facilitate small enriched dog play groups during the day and in the evening I provide private dog training. I am just as comfortable working with giant breeds as I am with the tiniest. While sitting for your pup I can take them for walks, go to a dog park, and go for hikes. I will send you pictures of your pup daily and keep you updated. I also don’t mind you checking in as often as you need to feel comfortable. I know it’s hard to be away from your your four legged friends. I hope to become one of your dogs best friends! I run a doggy adventure day camp that your dog can join in while boarding. I hike daily M-F with all the pups in my care. We frequent the local forest as well as I fenced sniff spots. While in my home you can rest assured knowing that your dog is being spoiled, loved, and supervised. My yard is fenced in which makes potty breaks easy! All dogs are kept in separate areas while eating and dogs are pups are kept separate if I have to go run an errand.

About: Animals are our passion, and we’ve built a life around caring for them. With over 20 years of combined experience caring for animals, we’ve looked after dogs and cats of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra love and attention. We also have extensive experience with reptiles, small animals, and pets with medical needs. Our home is full of love (and fur)! Our oldest dog is 13, and our youngest is nearly 1, so we’re familiar with a wide range of behaviors, energy levels, and care requirements. Melissa previously worked as a vet tech in training, so we’re also fully comfortable administering medications and understanding medical instructions. I’m a U.S. Army veteran, and my military background has helped shape me into someone who’s dependable, organized, and calm under pressure. I bring those qualities into every pet sitting job, aiming to keep your pets happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away. Whether your pet needs early-morning walks, medication, or just someone to stick to their routine—I’m here to help. We’re currently available any time, any day—including holidays and last-minute bookings. Our schedule is 100% flexible, so we can easily accommodate your pet’s unique routine. When caring for pets in your home or on their usual walking routes, safety and trust are always top priorities. We take the time to understand your pet’s environment, routines, and needs—whether it’s a quiet walk through the neighborhood or special instructions for your home while you’re away. We’re respectful of your space and treat your home with care and professionalism. You can count on us to follow your instructions closely, lock up securely, and maintain a clean, safe environment for your pets. During walks, we stick to routes your dog is familiar with (unless instructed otherwise) and always keep them leashed and under control. We’re alert to potential hazards like traffic, other dogs, or wildlife and will adjust as needed to keep your pet safe and calm. Communication is key—we’ll keep you updated and will always reach out if anything seems off or needs attention.
About: Before college, I lived on a farm. I have experience caring for animals of all kinds and an understanding of pet behavior. My love for and background with animals ensure your pet will receive the best care possible. I'm a college student home for summer break and can fit pet care into my schedule flexibly. I'd love to spend my free time going for runs or just hanging out with your pet! I'll follow your animal's routine to ensure they feel comfortable, while offering lots of playtime and attention. My goal is to keep their surroundings stress-free and fun.
About: I will make sure your animal(s) know I care about them as if they were my own and am eager to pass on my companionship to any other animals when they need a person. I've been house sitting for about 5 years now and have had multiple repeat families. Im currently working part-time so will have time to show your pets love and company.

About: Since I was young, I have always had large breed dogs in the household, Rottweilers and German Shepards, and have always been comfortable with them. While in high-school and college, my fiance and I raised puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind, 4 of our 5 puppies finished the program and were matched with people in need. We helped co-raise around 6 additional puppies as well. We also love cats, we have a tabby-calico mix named Teva, a lyxn point siamese named Minnie, and a gray siamese mix named Baby. Pima, one of the puppies that did not complete the program has been with us for 11 years now, and we have loved every moment of it. Unfortunately Pima passed away from cancer, but we do have a new addition to the family! We now have a big boy named Koa, an 80 lb American Rottweiler mix we adopted after he was found roaming Lacey Wa. He was very aggressive and untrained when we adopted him, but now he is the prime example of a model dog with our training! My schedule is very open. My wife is a school teacher so I do prefer to have the weekend off, but weekend visits are fine as well. I do have a fully fenced yard, our cats are indoor only, but one does go outside on a leash because she is adventurous. Very respectful of other's space.
About: Hi! I work as a Paraeducator at a school, so I have summers off and I can’t think of a better way to spend that time than caring for dogs! I’ve always been an animal lover, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pup needs playtime, snuggles, walks, or just a calm and caring presence while you’re away, I’m here to help! ☺️ My schedule is pretty open during the Summer besides spending every other weekend with friends and family. Once I go back to work in September, I will only be able to house sit as long as it is in reasonable distance from my workplace. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or favorite toys and treats. I know every pet is different, so I pay attention to their personality and comfort level, whether they’re energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed. I will also make sure to keep the home clean and secure while you’re away. I’ll give updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is always to treat your home and your pet with the same respect and love I would want for my own.
“Ruby was absolutely wonderful! She walked Duke all week and was a great communicator throughout. She kept us updated every day, was reliable, and clearly cared for him like he was her own. We felt so at ease knowing Duke was in such good hands. Highly recommend her!”
About: As an experienced dog sitter, I go beyond basic care by truly understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. I have a natural ability to read their body language and adapt to their moods, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s administering medications, following specific dietary plans, or providing enriching playtime and walks, I tailor my approach to each dog’s routine. My calm and attentive demeanor helps even the most anxious dogs feel at ease, and I maintain clear communication with pet owners for peace of mind. Having cared for my own senior Pomeranian, Zeus, until he was 14, I am particularly attuned to the special needs of older dogs, including administering medications and adjusting routines for their comfort. I currently have an year and a half year old Yellow Labrador Retriever named cooper, so well experienced with puppies I’m currently home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and can give your pets lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog needs frequent potty breaks, long walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication, or just extra cuddles and companionship, I’m able to be there consistently. I love getting outside for walks and making sure dogs stay mentally and physically happy while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal like they’re my own and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages, energy levels, and temperaments, including senior dogs and puppies. I always keep a close eye during walks, potty breaks, feeding, and playtime to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment.

“Madisyn has been doing a great job walking our big rambunctious collie. She is reliable amd communicative and may have some special magic, as our cat who is normally aloof with nonfamily took to her right away and followed her to get more pets.”

“Veronica has been amazing!! She was available very last minute (the day before) when I needed someone to walk my newly adopted dog. She’s been an amazing communicator, willing to do the little things like wipe my dogs paws after a walk or use the same command words that I use for my dogs. The photos of her walks are an extra touch that warms my heart. Would definitely recommend Veronica for your animal needs.”
About: I have had over 15 years of small and large dog experience. I have worked in kennels so I have experience with handling several temperament types. Safe and compassionate Care is my number one concern! I'm currently going to school to finish my bachelors in science of nursing part-time online so I am home the majority of the week. I can provide around the clock care. I have a fenced backyard that attaches to my house and a large carport area that is covered. The yard is clean and grass is cut short. Everything is secure and checked regularly. I have three extremely dog friendly long hair Dachshunds.

“Angela and her family are such a dog-loving and caring bunch! Echo is so lucky to be with them. Our sincere thanks to Angela, who took pictures and videos of their interaction with Echo! Elaine, Andy and Echo”
“Our pup had a great time at Kevin's house! He has a big fenced area where the dogs can run around and has trails around his property. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog there, as they are part of the family and can even sleep in his bed. We got lots of pictures and updates. Our dog loves chasing the ball, and they did lots of that! I would 100% recommend Kevin and am happy to have found a place for Argus when we are on vacation! Thanks Kevin and partner!!”
“I had to leave my dog for a longer period than I ever have before, and I was really nervous about it. That completely changed when I met Jerrie! She was so kind and understanding about my anxiety, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout my trip, she communicated consistently and sent photos, which made such a difference and helped me relax knowing my dog was in good hands. When I picked her up, it was clear my dog was happy to see me, but also that she had truly bonded with Jerrie and loved her. That meant everything to me. I will absolutely be using Jerrie from now on whenever I need to leave my dog. Highly recommend!”
“People say they love animals, but not everyone truly does! I believe Kimberly truly loves animals. I feel she treated my puppies like they were hers. I am fairly new to leaving my girls with a sitter, Kimberly put my mind at ease. She sent a lot of updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. I will have Kimberly watch Thelma and Louise anytime I need a sitter again.”
“How did I get so lucky as to find Scott on Rover? We started with a Meet-n-Greet and I immediately felt relief and comfortable that I found a great dog-person to take care of my dog HoneyGirl, while I was out of town for the weekend. He listened to our needs and asked questions about the care/attention that my dog needed. He even texted me with updates and photos. A++ thanks Scott !!!!”
“Highly recommend. They have a beautiful home with a nice, spacious backyard. Marianne and Josh are kind and have a lot of experience with dogs. With two sweet dogs of their own, my dog had built in companions while I was away. They are warm, welcoming, and sent lots of cute/funny pics & updates. Your dogs will be loved open arms. So grateful my dog could spend the holiday with such a thoughtful, warm, and fun family! Thank you so much for loving Chai!”
“Toni was so great with our 2 pups. Very understanding of our dynamic with our oldest dog. She kept us updated at all times with pictures and messages of how the dogs were doing which put my mind at ease. Definitely recommend using Toni and will for sure be using her services again in the future!”
About: I am new to Rover, but have worked in the Animal Health Industry as a Veterinarian Technician (animal nurse) and outside sales/customer service for the past 30+ years. Along with the background check Rover provides, I also have a Business License and I am Insured/Bonded. Animal care is my only business/job. I have experience with most animals from reptiles to cattle and currently have a little 5 acre hobby farm with a horse, goats, chickens, dog and cat. I am very flexible with days you need pet care. My days are filled with animal care of my own/yours, walking/hiking, gardening and home/property projects. Your pets will be treated with great care while spending time with me. I have a gated 5 acre hobby farm with 1/2 acre fully fenced area around my home. My farm animals are fenced in separately for safety. I also have 3 acres of wooded trails/not fenced for leash walking. I am able to provide care and exercise depending on your pets needs and will only accept dogs that are not aggressive towards people or other dogs for a positive/fun experience. I have giant wire crates/bedding for night sleeping/feeding and can take up to 3 dogs. I would prefer same family, but may be some overlap with scheduling. Otherwise they will be spending time with me in my home and on my property. There are two large porches for either sunning or shade. I also have air conditioning. Please be up to date on vaccinations (including kennel cough), worming and monthly flea control. I live in a quiet/peaceful valley. Please no excessive barkers and bring their food, treats and special toys. If you have an older/well trained dog that would be happy sleeping in a dog bed at night, I can be accommodating. Especially, if I have no other dogs boarding here. Must have been crate trained at some point in their life. Waking up in the am to an intact couch is nice! 😊 Please allow enough time for a 1st time meet and greet prior to finalizing the booking. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family!
“Kat recently watched over our little guy, Cooper, and it was a wonderful experience. We could tell from the moment we first met Kat that she loves dogs, especially Spaniels. Her location has plenty of room for your dog to get plenty of exercise, and our little Cooper definitely made some new friends. Kat sends photos and videos frequently, which were much appreciated. I would recommend Kat without hesitation, and would be thrilled to have her watch our little guy again.”
About: Hi there! I'm Lane, available for dog walking and doggy daycare (for dogs that are good with cats) in the Olympia/Lacey area. I have over a decade of experience caring for animals, from volunteering at shelters, to training dogs in agility, working as a vet assistant, and house sitting. I am warm, patient, and respectful of the unique needs of each pup I work with. I am especially well-versed in interacting with shy/nervous dogs. I only use positive reinforcement. I work remotely so have a very flexible schedule for walking and sitting. I'm excited to give your dog lots of love and attention this summer! Note: my former name was Olivia, which you’ll see listed in my old reviews! I am currently between jobs in social work, so fully available to care for your pets and spend time getting outside in the city with them. I only care for pets in other people's homes, and will follow care instructions to a tee. I am respectful of your space and only focus on making sure your pet is happy and health when I am there.
“My dogs ALWAYS enjoy staying with John. My smaller couch potato dog loves his calm household with granddaughter visits. His large, fenced backyard and lots of outdoor time chasing the ball and squirrels accommodates my larger more energetic dog. I’m a repeat client and will definitely board with John again!”
“Leanne’s level of care is exquisite. Her skills with a dog with leash aggression, and love of food was navigated beautifully. Her heart was immediately recognized by both me and my sweet dog. ARWEN felt immediately at home and got toys out of the toy box, drank water and jumped on the couch to be near Leanne. Erin is quite the couch potato, but Leanne got her out on walks every day, introduced her to the neighborhood, horses, and cats( (at a safe distance.) she sent wonderful photos and updates and I felt completely at ease to enjoy my international travel without concern for my dogs’s well-being. It was actually very hard for them to part ways. Very sweet connection. I would recommend Leanne for any of your precious dog’s needs.”
“Cale was so awesome to our girl! Daily updates accompanied by photos helped us rest easier during our travels. Would absolutely leave our precious pup in his care again in the future!”
“Olivia took great care of both our pups for an entire week. We received daily updates and pictures, and the pups always looked happy 😊 We will certainly be using her services again! I highly recommend her.”
“Our two pups just completed their first stay with Deidre and we couldn’t be happier on the care they received and the communication she had with us. We hope that she will have the availability to care from them in the near future but anticipate that she will grow in popularity due to her 1st class service!”
“Darby is the best. I thought I had booked, but I hadn’t quite done it. Darby accommodated us on basically no notice at all. Our dogs love going to Darby’s and I love feeling 110% unworried about them and knowing they are well cared for.”
