About: Pet lover with almost 20 years of experience working at veterinary clinics. I very much look forward to meeting you and your pets. I work from home most of the time and have a flexible schedule. Please reach out to me and we can get something on the calendar! I care for pets in clients' homes. It keeps them in their routine and what they are comfortable with. I also do things like water plants, get the mail, etc. Because my schedule is flexible, I get to enjoy working with and caring for animals throughout my day. I walk and play with them often. I always make sure that the pet is properly leashed, carry extra baggies, make sure they have water, and keep a close eye on them.

“This was the second time ysong Rover. Our first was god awful. I was hesitant but Haleigh was reassuring that she was going to take great care of my pooch! All the photos proved it along with the pitty smile Red Dog had when I picked him up! He was walking and loving life before he even noticed I was there to get him. I highly recommend her and will be using her again!”

During the visit she sent many adorable photos and kept us updated which gave us peace of mind while we were at work. Den looked very comfortable and happy with her. We are very grateful that Abby agreed to help us and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter. :)”
“Amy sat with my cat Shadow while I went on a 10 day vacation with family recently. I received daily pics and updates from her and I returned to a clean house and a happy cat. Amy clearly loves cats, she's dependable, and she's a lovely person to boot.”
“Absolutely loved having Victoria watch over my babies. This was our first time having someone come do a drop by and I was worried how it would go but my boys quickly warmed up to her. I love how she kept in constant contact and gave me daily updates and pictures. Thank you so much!!!!”
“Julia is great! She has watched our cat (drop-in visits for a week) twice now and is great at communicating with us when she stops by and is definitely trustworthy! Our cat isn't the most social but started opening up to Julia which was so nice to see, maybe with more visits (and more vacations for us) they will be best friends!”
“She’s awesome! Took great care of the cats. Very good communication and received lots of updating pictures. Jocelyn also adapted to my last minute schedule and changes. I’ll definitely call her again.”
“Claire is the best! She always gives me great updates, and she was available last minute (same day) when I was dealing with flight cancellations. She’s responsive and trustworthy. BOOK HER!”
“Jenna was great and very communicative. She worked with me on the fly and with very short notice but was able to roll with the punches and provided great care. Would absolutely recommend!”
“She did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away! She followed all of the instructions I left and was very thorough. I especially appreciated that she emptied the Litter-Robot waste drawer and took the bag out to the trash in the garage. She also rinsed out the cat food bowls really well, put them in the dishwasher, and recycled the empty food cans, which I really appreciated. It was clear she paid attention to the details and took good care of everything while I was gone. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”
“Shelby took great care of my cats. They are boo kitties and didn't come out during her visits, but she still found them and took pictures. I would definitely use Shelby again.”
“Autumn is a super caring sitter, we were so glad to find her. My cat is very shy and Autumn worked very hard to gain her trust! I'm glad to say that my cat is happier then ever being cared for by her.”
About: We have owned pets for 20+ years including cats, dogs, a rabbit, fish, chickens and more, and have taken care of a variety of pets for friends, family and neighbors along the way. We have also volunteered for the local Petsmart taking care of kittens and adult cats in the catio. We love our pets and will adore yours as well! We can provide care such as, but not limited to, feeding, watering, medications, cuddling, playing, walking and plenty of love. Laurilee works part-time a couple of days per week as a RN. Travis works full-time from home generally with a flexible schedule as a consulting Forester. We have availability for drop-ins or walks generally between 12:30-2:30 a few days per week and occasional weekends, however this varies and will need to remain somewhat flexible, as we also care for our elderly grandmother. We can not offer baording or overnight stays at owners homes at this time. We are not available for evenings currently, as we have our childrens' activities. We are responsible and will honor the safety requests that you have for your pet(s) in your home and/or on walks. We will maintain a friendly and fun environment while keeping safety the #1 priority. Rover completed background checks on both Travis and Laurilee. In the case of an emergency we would contact you, your emergency veterinarian if shared with us, and Rover immediately. We both have the American Red Cross Pet First Aid app downloaded on our smart phones for quick access for urgent care recommendations if ever needed, along with quick access to the Rover Guarantee webpage and emergency number. Available most weekdays, M-F 12:30pm-2:30pm. Not available evenings or weekends. Boarding and overnight care is not offered at this time. Check-ins and walks may be done by Laurilee, Travis or both depending on the day. If approved, our teenage daughters may join us when available for extra pets and playmates. At this time we are unable to offer pet care service in our home. We have many of our own pets who do not appreciate having other animals in the house.
“Sadie was so helpful making daily drop-ins on our cat, while we were away. She was gracious in having to clean up quite a few messes he made, she made sure his food, water, and litter box were kept fresh, and she spent some time with him each day to keep him from getting too lonely. She was very easy to communicate with during our trip. Thank you, Sadie for taking such good care of our kitty!”

“Shell is so amazing. She clearly cares about animals and goes out of her way to be accommodating and has a vast knowledge of dogs and their behaviors. She always sends us great videos and pictures of our dog having the time of his life with her Buddha. He comes home exercised, calm, and happy. I would recommend Shell to watch your fur babies and I really trust her and appreciate all her knowledge. She is very kind and treats our dog like her own. Our Chip cried when we drove away from her house and slept like a baby when he got home. She’s awesome.”
“Maryorie was friendly and great with communication. It was my first rover experience and it was nice to get a picture update after drop off and report about how he did at the end of the day. I appreciate how she did a meet and greet before hand to ensure my dog and her dogs would get along and so that we could get to know her. Looking forward to booking with her again!”
“Very thankful for Matt & his family. I have a dog who has a very sensitive GI & with sending him to Matt I can insure he is safe & happy. They send updates through out the day & always keep me in the loops Bruce loves it there & im very happy i found a family I can trust with leaving my dog there.”
“Elaine is great. I had to change my appointment a few times due to work and she was very understanding and flexible. She was able to set up a playdate and we came over and met her, her family and pets. Very communicative throughout the day. I have an elderly pup with bladder cancer and Elaine really cared for her and asked questions throughout the day. I highly recommend and will be using her again.”
“Debbie has watched Milo many times for me and I feel comfortable and confident every time I drop him off. She takes great care of him and every photo I get it looks like Milo is having a great time! Any and every time I'm in the Vancouver area I send Milo to her ❤️❤️”
About: American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid Certified After working as a dog food specialist at a pet store for 3 years and as a vet tech for one, I would like to continue helping the community and their pets thrive! From entire stays, to just short walks I can even provide basic training, if requested. I can also assist with any of your pet needs, including information for immunization shots, monthly flee and tick, heartworm, etc. I am recent college grad and I played soccer in college, so longer walks/runs/hikes are definitely available with me. I keep a tight schedule according to the requests. I am also available at any hour of the day for any other needs you may have. Great communication and reliable transportation are also provided. Frequent photos are available upon request!
“Can I give 6 stars??? Dominique takes such great care of my Beagle while I'm in the office. He loves her so much he starts whining to be let out when we pull in the driveway. 😂 She sends photos and updates throughout the day, is very flexible on his care needs. I think the most important thing is that I can focus on priorities during the day and not worry over Watson's happiness and safety. I know he's having fun playing with Poppy and friends!”
About: I go above and beyond for every pet in my care—not just meeting their basic needs, but making sure they feel loved, safe, and happy. I take time to understand each pet’s unique personality, routines, and quirks so they’re always comfortable. At home, we have a sweet and active 1year old Sphynx cat who keeps us on our toes. We also have a kind, animal-loving 4-year-old who is wonderful with pets and loves helping me shower them with affection. With me, your pets get more than a sitter—they get a caring friend (and a little helper!) who will treat them like family. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day with plenty of time to give pets consistent love and attention. Caring for animals fits perfectly into our daily routine, and every pet is welcomed like part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for every pet in my care. Whether that’s in your home or mine. Living in a cozy 2-bedroom apartment, I can closely monitor and supervise pets while giving them plenty of love and attention. You can trust that your furry friend will be safe, comfortable, and cared for like family.
About: I have been around animals since I was quite young. I raised and competitively showed horses my entire life. I had many jobs as a barn manager, taking care of horses and farm animals, chickens, goats, sheep, llamas, cows, cats, donkeys, mules, turkeys, pigs as well as all the farm dogs. I worked as an equine veterinary technician for 11 years. I’ve raised mastiff puppies for several years. My kids and I are becoming more involved with our local 4h group with our mini aussies. There’s not many animals I haven’t had the privilege of working with. I am a para educator at a local elementary school so I have my summers off and I am really excited to have that availability to work with animals. Working for the school district gives me the unique flexibility to be available all day every day through September. Please see my schedule as I tend to book up quickly. I have the privilege of being home 24 seven which means if your pet stays with me I am home all the time. I lead a pretty active life and really enjoy hiking and going swimming at the river and lake, so your pet would have lots of outdoor time pending your approval.
“Dana and Mark were a real lifesaver today. With very little notice the were able to watch my little buddy when I got stuck in Denver. Always keep me apprised of how Jack is doing. I really appreciate their professionalism and care for my Jack.”
“Emily & Eric took great care of our pups while we were visiting from out of town for a family Christmas party. We appreciate them being so accommodating with the festivities ending a little later than expected. Our fur babies were obviously very comfortable in their home because they are so calm in their crates in the car at the moment. We will definitely leave our girls with Emily and Eric again when we are back in Vancouver!”
About: If you are looking for a pet sitter who genuinely loves animals and provides a safe, active environment, you are in the right place! I have years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals—from dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes to chickens and other small critters. Animals are a natural part of my life, and I know exactly how to tailor my care to fit your pup's unique personality, whether they are high-energy zoomers or low-key cuddlers. To give you extra peace of mind: I spent years being trusted by families as a nanny for three different households. You can rest assured that your beloved furry family member is in incredibly capable, highly responsible hands. The best part? A fenced yard! We have a spacious, securely fenced yard with plenty of room to run. Whether your dog wants to burn off energy playing fetch or prefers to leisurely sniff around and lounge in the fresh air, they will absolutely love the outdoor space we have to offer. Working from home gives me total flexibility to adapt to your dog's established routine. I am here throughout the day to provide constant supervision, mid-day desk cuddles, and frequent potty breaks in the yard. Your pup will enjoy a highly attentive, stress-free day that perfectly balances companionable downtime with plenty of active outdoor play. I believe trust is built through absolute transparency and a controlled environment, which is why I only host one or two compatible dogs at a time. Our home is a calm, secure haven, free from the chaos of large kennels, where your dog's unique safety needs are closely monitored. To keep you connected, I provide consistent, detailed updates and photos so you always know they are safe, happy, and thriving.
“Frances was so amazing she went above and beyond for us, she came and picked up Dolly to work with our schedules. She also took her on a walk and then later to the dog park. Just when I would wonder how they are doing she would shoot me a video or a picture to let me know how their day was going. I would 100% recommend Frances to friends and family who love their pets and need a reliable human to care for them. Francis next time we are in need you will be my 1st call!!!!!! Thank you so much! Side notes~Great communication, her home is lovely and clean.”
“Lajetta was a great dog sitter for our doodles! She kept us updated throughout the day with pictures & we could tell the doodles were being loved, cared for & comfortable.”
About: My husband and I are life-long dog owners and dog lovers. We have an active lifestyle and can give your dog lots of attention and activity. I work part time from home and my husband works from home, so at least one of us is always here for potty breaks and mid-day walks and playtime. I love to run during the week and hike on weekends and would be happy to bring your dog along. We have a fenced yard and plenty of space in our home. Our 2 year old Weimaraner is extremely friendly and playful. We also have two daughters that adore dogs and will give lots of pets and cuddles.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. As a stay at home mom, I have plenty of time to watch your loved ones while you’re away. We have an active but relaxed home. We currently have one extremely friendly, well socialized shepherd mix dog who gets along with every dog he meets. Over the years I’ve cared for friends’ and family’s dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. My kids love dogs and are able to let new dog friends acclimate without pestering. We walk the neighborhood every night and play in the backyard. I am a stay at home mom with elementary aged kids. Especially during the school year, I am almost always at home. My husband also works full time from home so there is always someone here to keep an eye on things. We have a great schedule in place for our dog in terms of potty breaks and feeding. We have a fully fenced back yard and a lovely neighborhood full of sidewalks to go on long evening walks. In our home, dogs are part of the family. They are allowed on the couch and sleep in our bedroom. Our dog has a nice schedule for feeding and going potty and he loves sunbathing on the back patio.
“Emily did great for a first meeting and walk with our pup. She can be slow to warm up and Emily was patient and very honest and communicative with how the visit went. Appreciate the extra step of cleaning up a mess our kitties made that wasn’t on the bill!”
“Our 17-month old Boxer is full of energy and we haven’t yet trained him to stop pulling on leash. He was staying with his senior grandparents while we traveled, so we hired Victoria to take him on a long daily walk since she knows how to handle a strong dog. Victoria was great! She was timely every day, communicated well before and during the week she walked our pup, and sent great report cards. She asked our thoughts on walking her dog with ours, which we enthusiastically endorsed - our dog loves friends. Her dog and ours had a great time together and our puppy was thrilled when Victoria arrived every day. This was a great experience for us and our puppy.”
About: "As a dedicated and reliable pet caregiver, i will provide an experience tailored to your dog’s unique personality and needs. I understand that your dog is a beloved family member, which is why I prioritize maintaining their familiar routine—from specific feeding times and favorite walking routes to their preferred sleeping spots. Whether your pup is an energetic adventurer who needs plenty of playtime or a calm senior who appreciates gentle companionship and belly rubs, I offer attentive, one-on-one care in a safe and loving environment. You can travel with total peace of mind knowing I provide regular photo updates, clear communication, and the same level of affection I give my own pets. My goal is to ensure your dog stays happy, healthy, and tired out until your return!" As a part-time employed Mom and Grandma, I like to be busy and have time to spare for loving more than just my family and pets. At this moment, I have 3 dogs and two cats, all who need my personal attention several times a day. I would love to do that for you too. I know what it’s like to be stressed about your kitty or dog while away and I can help relieve that, even for just a day or a week.
“Felicia has been so amazing! She covered for me on short notice and she has been wonderful with my older dog who can be reactive and crotchety. She’s also very sweet with my two kitties and good on updating me on everything going on with my fur babies. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! My name is Abby (or Abigail) and I am a college student studying health science, hoping to incorporate animal therapy into my future profession. I love all animals and grew up around dogs :) My family’s adopted dog came to us with lots of past trauma to work through. With lots of love, time, and care she’s made so much progress! Through this experience I’ve been able to understand dogs better and the care that they need. She is also a senior dog with severe anxiety and I have grown up with her, so I understand the needs of dogs of different ages and temperaments. I understand that not every dog is the same and different dogs have different needs. I will do my absolute best to provide for specific needs of your dog, whether that be a calm environment for an anxious one, or a playful time with an energetic one! I have quite an open schedule at the moment, so I will be free quite often to walk your dog or drop in to check on them! I have a fenced yard at my home and if caring for dogs at your place I can take them out, make sure everything is clean and under control, or whatever you would like!
About: I have always had a dog growing up and I love being around dogs in general. I enjoy the outdoors so I have always loved taking my dog on walks and to the dog park. I have dog sat for many of my neighbors, so I have experience handling dogs that I am not super familiar with. I took one of my dogs to an agility and training class where she became a certified canine good citizen. I am dedicated to providing the best quality of life for my dog and making sure they are always comfortable and taken care of. Being home from school, I have a lot of free time and would like to spend some more time with furry friends I currently just graduated from PA school, so my schedule is wide open. Now I am looking to fill my schedule part time to help with student loans. I always make sure to keep eyes on pets and keep them on a leash. I am very conscious about dog’s comfort levels and making sure they don’t have to interact with any other animals or people they don’t want to.
“Great dog walker, both patient and kept training Gracie to heel. Pleasant company, too, while I walked our second dog. We recommend her and will ask for her again if we need this service again”
About: Animals have always gravitated toward me. I wish I could take more credit for it, but at this point, I just lean into it. Over 10 years of caring for pets of all kinds, I've become the person friends and family call when they need someone who'll actually look after their animals like they matter. I've worked with puppies, seniors, large breeds, multi-pet homes, and cats who take a little convincing. My personal record is 7 dogs and 2 cats under one roof, and everyone left happy, including me. I offer walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, and I'm just as comfortable with cats as I am with dogs. Every visit comes with photos and genuine communication, not just a thumbs up that they're alive. I pay attention to your pet, notice when something feels off, and treat your home with the same respect I'd want for my own. One thing worth mentioning: I only take bookings in non-smoking homes, and I appreciate your understanding on that. My schedule is flexible right now, so I can work around yours. Whether it's consistent weekly visits or the occasional last-minute request, I can usually make it work as long as I'm not already booked. First, I'd like to meet you and your pet in person. It helps me get familiar with their personality and routine, and makes sure they know who I am before I show up solo. The last thing I want is for your pet to see me as a stranger who isn't supposed to be there. We'll go over their feeding schedule, medications, leash behavior, training, and emergency vet info, including the nearest location. I'll ask you to put it all in writing before I get started so we're both on the same page, and nothing gets missed. I'll also want to know how they do around other animals on walks, since some dogs are social butterflies and some aren't, and I'd rather know upfront than find out mid-walk. When I'm in your home, I treat it with care, keep things exactly as you'd want them, and make sure your pet stays comfortable and keeps their routine the whole time.
“Jocelyn is prompt, friendly, reliable, and our pup loves going on walks with her. I feel like I can very safely trust my dog in her care, which means everything. Highly recommend!”
“Amy was timely in her responses. She followed instructions for getting into my home and getting my pup ready for their walk. Through my doorbell camera, Amy talked kindly to my pup and remembered to put on his rain jacket. After the walk, she spent time wiping off his paws and also locked up the house how I asked. Would definitely recommend Amy to others!”
About: I am a kind and loving mother, teacher, and experienced pet care provider with a lifelong passion for animals of all kinds. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, and other furry friends, always treating each one with the same love and attention I give my own family. My clients value my reliability, trustworthiness, and genuine heart for animals. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or special care, I strive to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while their family is away. I am a teacher so I am available for care in the afternoons after 4pm, and weekends. As well as holidays, school breaks and summer. I have a fenced yard and live walking distance to a few nature trails and local parks for keeping pets exercised. I have a very sweet dog to keep your pet company, as well as a large multilevel home to provide space and separation if that is what your pet prefers.
“Claire has been a night in shining armor, our dogs were not getting out due to our busy schedule. She has been very patient with our puppy and has gone above and beyond by helping train our dogs to wait, heel, and sit. They come home happy and exhausted after each walk. Claire is a joyful personality, responsible, honest and dependable. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve had dogs for the past 8 years and currently have two of my own, including a pretty big Lab, so dogs of all shapes and sizes are definitely nothing new to me! I’ve always been around dogs with all kinds of personalities and love getting to know each pet’s little quirks! I’m also a huge cat person and am around cats pretty often, so I’m happy to give your kitties just as much love and attention too! One of my own dogs is also pretty anxious, so I know firsthand that some pets need a little extra patience, reassurance, and understanding. I’m used to taking things at their pace and giving them the extra attention they need to feel safe and comfortable. I know how much you trust someone when you leave your pets with them, and I’ll treat your furry babies like they’re my own! As a part-time employee and college student, I have plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my schedule. I love spending time with animals and will make sure your pets get the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, bathroom breaks, and, of course, lots of love and attention. I understand that every pet has different needs, and because one of my own dogs is anxious, I’m especially mindful of pets who may need extra patience or reassurance. I’ll always respect your pet’s routine, follow any instructions you provide, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve cared for animals for several years and truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have hands-on experience caring for my own pets, including three ferrets, which has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and paying close attention to an animal’s individual needs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and happy to follow your pet’s routine to help them feel at ease. My goal is to give you peace of mind while ensuring your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and quality care. I truly love all pets and have even began volunteering at the southwest humane society to continue my journey with pet care! I have open availability all summer and would love the opportunity to care for your pets! During the school year (September through June), I work full-time as a teacher, but I’m typically available on weekends, afternoons, and school breaks. I’m committed to providing dependable, loving care whenever you need it. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, ensure they get the appropriate amount of exercise and playtime, and give them plenty of attention and affection.
“Alura was available for me in a pinch and was flexible and kind while we sorted out the weekly walk schedule. She followed the instructions I left without any issues. We, including our beloved Darwin, are so grateful for the love. Highly recommend her service!”
About: In my life I’ve taken care of 3 mid sized dogs as well as around 8 cats. I’m new to the profession pet sitting and care aside from friends and family but I know that for the rest of my life I want to spend time with our animal friends and learn more about them! I have full availability with scheduling. I have transportation to do in house visits but pickup and drop offs might get difficult depending on the size of your dog. I can make regular stops at your place to do check-ins/feedings/walks. I would be able to do longer visits if needed or even overnight if available.
About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 11, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. Whether it’s for a day or longer stays, I truly enjoy being around fur babies and always provide attentive, loving care—treating every dog as if they were my own. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s routine, safety, and comfort, so you can feel confident your pup is in caring, reliable hands! I am currently unemployed, which means I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be home and fully attentive to your pet’s needs throughout the day. This means consistent supervision, timely meals, regular walks, plenty of playtime, and loving, dependable care :) I care for pets just like I do my own at home. I have two dogs and a cat, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I keep a safe, clean space, supervise closely, and make sure everything is secure. When I’m in a client’s home, I stick to their pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. My goal is always for pets to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away!

“Abra and her family took incredible care of our pup Maui and we are so grateful! They even helped him through a super scary thunder storm with love and compassion. Thank you so much!”
“I would definitely have our dog stay with Maryorie again! She sent pictures and videos everyday which was great to see how much fun our dog was having. I would absolutely recommend her to dog sit!!!”
“Elaine was able to take my August over Thanksgiving. She sent pictures and updates. August was happy when I picked him up, not the least bit anxious or over-stimulated. That's perfect! I would recommend Elaine for your dog's stay.”
“Shadie was very responsive to inquiries, and provided updates of my dogs stay, including a photo. Good back yard for dogs to run and parks nearby. My 3 yr old pup seemed to be happy, healthy and relaxed when I came to pick him up.”
About: Pet lover with almost 20 years of experience working at veterinary clinics. I very much look forward to meeting you and your pets. I work from home most of the time and have a flexible schedule. Please reach out to me and we can get something on the calendar! I care for pets in clients' homes. It keeps them in their routine and what they are comfortable with. I also do things like water plants, get the mail, etc. Because my schedule is flexible, I get to enjoy working with and caring for animals throughout my day. I walk and play with them often. I always make sure that the pet is properly leashed, carry extra baggies, make sure they have water, and keep a close eye on them.
“Kathy, does a great job with my old boy. This visit he needed medicine and she took that in stride and made him comfy. I am very pleased with how good she does with him.”
“Annabelle was a great dog sitter! She was very responsive from the beginning and kept in touch with updates throughout the week. We highly recommend her and her family to watch your pup!”
“Hannah was great with our dog, Brooklyn! She sent lots of updates and progress reports. Our dog has severe anxiety, and he had a great time there. We can’t wait to hire her again!”
“Larissa was the perfect person to take care of my dog. She sent me updates and photos throughout the entire time. I felt assured that my dog Mac was in good hands and at no point was worried. I’d happily leave my pup with Larissa again!”
“Danielle is a thoughtful and considerate sitter who always keeps me updated on how my dog is doing. Her dog, Macy, got along great with mine, and she consistently responds promptly and sends photos during the stay. She also has a large yard that my dog really enjoyed. I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands and will definitely be using her again. Thanks, Danielle!”
“Barry and his pup are fantastic hosts! I received many updates and photos which I really appreciate, and my dog was happy and healthy. Will definitely book with Barry again!”
“I had to leave my cat for a week while traveling for work and she did great. Leah & Chris are amazing and the cat room that they have set-up made Ellee feel at home. Thanks so much for taking such good care of Ellee, Leah & Chris!!”
“Marta was an absolutely wonderful sitter for our dog Bella! She provided consistent updates, including photos and videos. It was clear Bella had a wonderful time. Marta will be our go-to pet sitter in the future!”
“Heath and Amy were amazing! Super flexible with all drop off and pickup needs, they have a lovely family that clearly love animals. Our dog was super happy to spend over a week with them which isn't super common as she is typically a bit nervous about new home environments. Not in this case, she made herself right at home thanks to their welcoming presence and their own pup was the perfect playmate. We will definitely be reaching out to them for future dogsitting needs.”
“Claire and Jason are awesome! They are great at communicating, and send pictures often! They played with Denver and took him on walks and hikes and made sure to give him lots of cuddles. They also have children who gave him so much attention. Would highly recommend to anyone!”
“Ching yin, was an awesome host for Addie! It was a short notice booking but she and her husband were very flexible. Very responsive and frequent updates were great and appreciated. Would book again!”
