“Awesome, Justin & Sheena were amazing providers and my dog Snow felt at home. I highly recommend the use of their services, I am definitely a repeat customer and I know Snow look forward to future time with Rocky & Bow!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Truly not enough good things to say about Ethan and our experience with him caring for our dog, Taco. From the beginning, Ethan was super responsive and easy to communicate with him. We right away felt at ease leaving our dog with Ethan and it just worked out perfectly. Every day, Ethan sent us videos and pictures, and it was clear he was loving on our dog as much as he does his own. I’m usually a worry wart when it comes to leaving my dog with anyone. Not this time. And Taco even came home smelling fresh, Ethan bathed him before pickup! More importantly, Taco was a happy pup.”
“Took excellent care of our active young dog. Sent photos and videos daily. He definitely had a good time playing with her dogs! Thank you for all your help while we were away!”
“Julie is AMAZING!!! She truly TREASURES my dogs!! I got like 20 pics of my puppers while in her care, and multiple updates a day! You can tell she truly loves what she does, and that puts any dog owner so completely at ease. Her fenced in large backyard AND front yard was a total playground for my boys!! We are SOOO blessed to have found her for us!!!”
“My springer spaniel had an amazing time with Jennifer in the spaniel house! Jennifer was warm, excited & endearing and is an incredible caretaker for Mabel! Pictures, lick mats, snuggles & play time were all provided in surplus!”
“Alyssa did a wonderful job caring for our four kittens! She was extremely communicative, giving us regular updates and photos, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. She was kind, gentle, and very attentive to each kitten’s needs. It was clear they were comfortable and well cared for in her hands. We are so grateful for her help and would absolutely trust her to care for our pets again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Rebecca was a wonderful caretaker of our pup, a 2 y/o Cavalier King Charles. I could see Luna loved having kids to play with. We could also tell when we picked her up after 3 days that she was happy to see us but not in a frantic way, and was very calm on the way home. We’ll definitely ask Rebecca to care for Luna again!”
“Bobbi was amazing with our two dogs when we were out of town for a week! She took them out multiple times a day on walks and had several other dogs around to play with them and keep them busy. She sent pictures/videos everyday and they always looked so happy and well taken care of! Will 100% use again if we go out of town! Best Rover experience we’ve had!”
“The BEST!!! 🐾 🐕Meredith is an absolute lifesaver! We needed emergency boarding during a stressful life transition, and she provided a safe, nurturing space for our ESA (who had sadly been mistreated in someone else's care). Our sweet dog is sometimes fearful and timid, but Meredith was patient, understanding, and helped show his true gentle nature. Highly recommend! 🐾 🏆”
“Our dog stayed with Dana for a few nights over the weekend and she was great. She was very friendly and accommodating. Our dog had a great time there and was definitely in good hands! We would definitely recommend Dana.”
“Molly was wonderful. She sent daily photos and updates, which gave us great peace of mind and reassured us that our dogs were safe, happy, and well cared for. She is kind, attentive, and clearly loves animals. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found her and would not hesitate to recommend her to others.”
“I highly recommend Dee! She did so great with my boys and I felt at ease on my trip knowing they were being taken care of so well. And she sent videos of them playing in the snow that were so cute!”
“Kelly has been fantastic! My pup Toshi has stayed with her a couple of nights and she has been so accommodating! She has sent me photos and updates which definitely puts me at ease. She has a large yard and her cute pup Khloe also keeps my dog company. You could tell she loves animals! I cannot recommend her enough, and I will always try and reach out if I need to book another stay for my pup. Thank you, Kelly!”
“Chris is one of the best dog sitters I’ve ever had! He’s very communicative and flexible, and is always waiting on time when I come to pick my dog up. He is a caring individual with a lot of dog care experience.”
“Our dog had the best time!! We received constant updates and are so happy to know he was so well taken care of!! Will definitely be leaving him with Mariana and her family again :)”
“Duke and I are so glad we found Kayle! We have booked two stays with her, one being an 11 day stay (with a 3rd one coming up soon!) and she has been nothing short of amazing. She is very attentive to Duke and has treated him like her own since the first night. She is very flexible which is a bonus for me as I am active duty military (100% recommend). We have definitely found our Washington sitter in Kayle and will continue to book with her for as long as she will have us!! You can feel very comfortable and confident in Kayle’s ability to care for your pet. She keeps open communication through the entire stay and gives your fur baby lots of love while you’re away!! ❤️❤️ 🐶”
“Val is absolutely wonderful. She truly enjoys the dogs and has a perfect routine down for them to make sure everyone stays safe! I will continue to bring my girl to Val when I need to be away for a night!”
“Tony and Krista are fantastic sitters. They are genuine and reliable, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. It’s great to feel free to travel and know that your pet is well cared for.”

“Misao is great! She’s taken care of my cat twice. She’s a great communicator and very sweet. Her attention to detail is top notch and I know my sweet boy is in good hands when I’m not there. :)”
“Alexa and Connor were so sweet to my kitties. They gave them all of the snuggles and playtime as if my cats were their own. Absolutely will be using them again!”
“Bobbi is top notch and great communicator. She provides really good updates and photos. Our cat is in diabetic remission and she really understood how important his feeding were with her updates. Our cat looked happy after we came back. We highly recommend her. We will 100% be booking again. Thank you Bobbi.”
“We have used Todd for every trip we’ve gone on that he was available for that last couple years. I cannot give him high enough praise. He is a delight, is great at communicating, and takes such incredible care and pride in what he does. This trip, we had to make some last minute changes as one of our pets sadly crossed the rainbow bridge, Todd handled our loss with grace and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. We will forever choose Todd to take care of our pets when he is available and are so grateful for him!”
“Monique was great! We really appreciated how professional she was and she took great care of our cat Gracie. I would definitely recommend her and would not hesitate to use her again. Thank you so much!”
“Tatiana and Alex went above and beyond taking care of my bunnies! They took great pictures and always cleaned up even when not asked. Very thankful that they did this during the holiday season!! Thank you”
“Cindy is absolutely amazing with my cat Louie. She goes above and beyond for his drop in visits. He is usually a touch-me-not for most people, but he seems to really enjoy Cindy's company. She spends the visits petting him and just "being there" with him. I believe it gives him great comfort while I am away from home. Thank you Cindy. You rock!”
“Brooklyn is as so kind and attentive to my two boys. One of them is really shy and loves to hide, but she took the extra effort to find him and all his various hiding spots to make sure he was okay. The report cards were the highlight of my trip and I can tell she takes great care of all the animals in her care. I will definitely book her again!!”
“I’m so glad we found Katelyn to help care for our senior kitty while out of town. She is very responsive and I appreciate the updates (with photos & videos) after each visit. Katelyn was also incredibly helpful bringing in mail and packages (both big and small)! Will definitely book her again.”
“Angela looked after our 4 kitties while we were away. She was so kind to them and sent us so many photos and videos, it really put us at peace knowing she was looking after them.”
“Dana did such an amazing job taking care of my cats while we were out of town. One of my cats had hurt his paw the day before we were leaving on vacation and Dana was able to accommodate all his special needs last minute. Did a great job following instructions and gave me a peace of mind that my cats were in good hands while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Megan rocks ! She was super cool when she came over to check out the house and the animals. She sent me photos and updates, I will absolutely use her again!!! ✨”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 20. I have personally had 9 dogs, 2 of which are still living. They are a German Shepherd and a mixed hound. I also foster dogs from time to time. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages, with dogs that need any special medication, as one of my dogs was a diabetic and blind. Also, I am comfortable with dogs that have aggression issues, as long as we work out how to address them before your dog stays with me, and no one gets hurt. Two of my German Shepherds have aggression issues that I had to work through. A little about me: I am going back to get my master's and teach. Currently, I am substitute teaching, and we undergo a very thorough background check, including fingerprints and a check with the FBI. I am willing to provide long-term boarding for deployments or similar situations. That is the case; we can discuss the details and the long-term care rate. I have a very large fenced yard that gives the dogs plenty of room to run and play. It is 1/3 of an acre. I have radiant heat in the floors of my house, and most of the time, the dogs lie on the nice, warm floor. I do have a camera in the backyard. I can give you access while your dog is staying here with me. :) I’m sorry, I cannot take any more neutered dogs. The few I have had have been working all over my house, and it doesn’t matter how much cleaning you do, or how special the treatments are, they don't work. It’s a big problem with unneutered dogs. I do hope you consider neutering your dog. I am currently working to go back and get my masters and education to be a teacher. I am available all days right now and flexible on times. I have a large yard that is fully fenced with a 6 foot fence. I treat pets as part of my family but keep them well behaved and mannered. I have fostered dogs before too, and I always try to meet the dog where they are at whether they are stressed, fearful, or have a lot of. For example, if they need a lot of exercise we go on walks and play several times a day. I find a happy dog is a happy life.

“Ethan is super responsive, caring and loving to our dog! We've used him for boarding and then as a last minute daycare, he was so accommodating and great to work with!”
“We’ve been taking our puppy to Aliesha for a few weeks now and it’s been absolutely amazing. Our pup has very high anxiety and struggles in big daycares. Once we found Aliesha so much of our own stress has been relieved knowing Bruno is so happy at her place and his overall happiness has greatly increased. She provides enrichment activities, lots of yard playtime and even takes him to the nearby creek! I’m so grateful for her kindness to Bruno and for supporting him so well. HIGHLY recommend her for daycare!”
“Val is amazing! My girl can be shy but opens up at Val's with her new doggy pals. She loves staying with her and I always feel at ease when I drop her off. Val has an amazing system for her doggy daycare that works and is always communicative, accommodating, and great with my baby girl! Highly recommend and will be booking again! Thanks, Val!”
“Kana was very attentive to our dog's needs. She took care of her so well. My dog was excited to come back on the second day because they played with her and provided good activities. We appreciated very much their kindness with us and my energetic puppy.”
“I appreciated Bobbi’s clear communication and flexibility. She took great care of my dog for the day! Her house is expertly set up to assist and care for multiple dogs while meeting all their needs. I was very impressed!”
“Alyssa is great, and it is so nice knowing Kuna is safe and happy. Nice outdoor space, comfy dog friendly house. We always feel confident leaving Kuna with Alyssa when we can’t take her with us.”
“Christopher was so kind and took great care of my grumpy old man :) he was very responsive, sent daily photos, and gave lots of love! He even gave him a bath and cleaned his eye boogers for him. Thank you so much! We will definitely come back!”
“Mariana was so sweet and communicated so well during the day! She was very flexible with our pick up time because we were unsure when we were going to be able to pick our girl up and we were so appreciative of that! Our doggo was happy and well taken care of! Will book again!”
About: "𝚄𝚗𝚝𝚒𝚕 𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚑𝚊𝚜 𝚕𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚍 𝚊𝚗 𝚊𝚗𝚒𝚖𝚊𝚕, 𝚊 𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚝 𝚘𝚏 𝚘𝚗𝚎'𝚜 𝚜𝚘𝚞𝚕 𝚛𝚎𝚖𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚜 𝚞𝚗𝚊𝚠𝚊𝚔𝚎𝚗𝚎𝚍." - 𝚄𝚗𝚔𝚗𝚘𝚠𝚗 Howdy I'm Winnie! I'm a dog person, a cat lover and friend to all animals. If you need a professional lion tamer for your zoo I'm your gal! I am a ally/member of the 2SLGBTQ+ community ~ your home and animals are safe with me 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ I have watched families with over 10 pets before. I also have experience with bearded dragons, guinea pigs, chicken, fish, and house hold gardens. Anything else, I'm a fast learner. I am currently house sitting and boarding full time! I'm a stay at home single mom and this is what we do full time. I am also a seamstress and do fleamarkets occasionally on the weekends. When I have those they are pre-planned in advance and I can give you details upon your sitting request. I try to be as non-invasive as possible. I bring my own blankets, towels & silverware. I like to make sure the daily routine of your animal is as close to it usually is. I keep dogs on leashes no matter what when on walks! And usually keep them contained when loading anything in or out to avoid any running away/chasing them around kind of drama. Anything you recommended to me or want me to do I will make sure happens to ensure your pets & home are safe. For boarding I have a very large fenced back yard with a locked gate which is the only access outside. There's also neighborhoods around with side walks for walks. I do have a hotel styled lock at the top of my front door that makes it impossible for the kids to accidentally open it and let any animals out. I also usually for boarding attach an air tag to the animal while they are at my house for extra precaution. No such thing as too safe!
“Mollie is such an excellent communicator and really makes you feel safe and comfortable leaving your fur baby. I'm so thankful to have found someone so genuine who cares for my pet like their own!”
“Sherry was amazing with my dog, Emmy! From the moment we met, I could tell she truly loves animals and treats them like family. Emmy seemed to settle in very quickly based on the photos Sherry sent— Sherry’s home has a cozy home that made her feel completely at ease. I really appreciated the photo updates and the genuine care she showed. It felt more like Emmy was staying with a friend than a sitter. Highly recommend Sherry to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable, and loving with their pets! ❤️”

I tailor my care to meet your pet's individual needs, ensuring a happy and stress-free stay.
“Jennifer took excellent care of my senior boy! She made every effort to ensure his first stay for day care was as comfortable as possible despite his separation anxiety.”
About: I have had pets since I was born, and from age 5 I started to help withtheir care. I have always had a deep love for animals. I have had cats, dogs, guinea pigs, mice, rabbits, etc. I may not be a professional, however, I believe I am pretty knowledgeable about cats and dogs, their care, and some training. 3rd year in college, studying mathematics at WSU. I have had pets all my life back home and I lived them all sooo much. I am free most of days of the week in between my classes, good for drop ins and dog walks :) Lots of play, cuddle, excercise and attention. What ever the pet needs and wants, I try my best to fullfil. If they need to let out energy, let them play in the yard, if they need alone time, let them nap, etc. Lots of toys and enrichment activities, and lots of love.
“Kate was great with Charlie. Received multiple pictures and videos throughout the day to keep us updated on how Charlie was doing with the other dogs. Looked like Charlie had a blast and will definitely use Kate again.”

“Alicia was very flexible and understanding! She had great communication, fast reply times, and sent a lot of cute pictures! Even though we just hired her to walk Bella she showed our cat love as well. We would definitely trust her with the care of both our girls again in the future!”
About: We have both taken care of pets since we were young! I (Alexa) have grown up with furry friends my whole life, and I LOVE all animals (though I do have a soft spot for dogs). Connor has grown up with pets his whole life as well. We’ve pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors before, with all kinds of critters. Alexa has experience volunteering at local animal shelters, and has had the pleasure of listening to Lee Asher speak in person. We are also currently the owners of a small dog, a big dog, and a very mischievous cat. We are both very well equipped to care for animals anywhere from a mouse to a horse. Your babies are in wonderful hands with us. I (Alexa) currently work as an EMT, which means I work only 7-8 days per month. That leaves plenty of time to go wherever duty calls! Connor gets his work schedule week by week, but normally has Fridays and Saturdays off. We are willing to house/pet sit for you, walk your animals, and do daily checkups for you as well. In a clients home, we will respect your space and only do what is necessary. You can count on us to make sure your furry friend has all that they need while you are gone, in the safety and security of your own home.
“My 2 dogs, Indie and Brody LOVE Tatiana!! She is patient, kind, and walks them, and the return home very tired. Tatiana doesn't hesitate to ask questions to make sure the dogs have all they need. I highly recommend her for walking dogs.”

When house sitting, I ensure all doors and gates are securely locked at all times, food and hazards are kept out of reach, and dogs are always kept on a secure leash during walks. I’m highly observant of any changes in a pet's energy or appetite, and I keep owners updated daily with photos and messages. Please view screenshots of my verified reviews directly in my photo gallery! =) . For peace of mind, I highly recommend an in-person Meet & Greet before our first scheduled service. This helps establish a great rapport between us and, most importantly, between me and your pets. That way, I’m already a familiar face to your fur babies when I arrive for the sit, and we can start off on the right paw!
“Angela did such an amazing job with Jett. She made me feel so comfortable and I just knew Jett was in trusted hands. She was so kind and patient. Angela did such an amazing job updating me and taking photos. 10000% recommend and I will definitely be rebooking.”
About: I have lived with cats and dogs all throughout my life, and I am very patient and loving with animals of all kinds. I am very disciplined and responsible, and I can accommodate both senior dogs and energetic puppies. I recently graduated university and am in the process of becoming an air traffic controller. In the meantime, I teach yoga and have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am an active person, so getting out of the house and walking and playing with dogs is exactly how I enjoy spending my time. At home, I have a small fenced-in yard, but I also live near many walking trails and green spaces. I own a cat who has lived with dogs before.
“Megan was awesome! She was super flexible with my last minute booking and Benson absolutely loved her. I got updates while they walked and he looked like he was having fun the entire time. I would absolutely re-book with her!”
“We were really lucky to have Monique look after our pup. She’s highly professional, friendly, reliable. Best of all, our pup loved her and we will definitely book Monique again in the future as well as recommend her to all of our friends.”
“My name is Porgi the Corgi and I love my new friend Karen! She took me to my favorite playground; PLU campus. She can keep up with me better than my mahm's wheelchair. I'm super happy and ready for afternoon naps! Oh, yeah, mummy likes her, too. Kind, fun, friendly, and all kinds of nice words. ?”
About: I’ve been a pet owner since I was 5, so I have tons of hands-on experience with dogs, cats, fish, birds and reptiles. My dream is to someday open my own doggy daycare/boarding facility, because working with animals has always been my passion. I am very patient with animals, which helps me to bond with even the shyest of pets. My roll and experience at the doggy daycare I manage is overseeing the daily operations of the facility, ensuring a safe, clean, and fun environment for all dogs. Grouping dogs appropriately based on size, temperament, and play style; monitor play yards to prevent overstimulation or conflict. Maintain strict sanitation and health protocols, ensuring all kennels, play areas, and equipment are deeply cleaned and sanitized daily. Manage stock levels for dog food, treats, cleaning supplies, first aid kits, and office materials. Recruit, interview, and train new daycare attendants and pack leaders on dog behavior, safety protocols, and company policies. Create and manage staff schedules to ensure optimal caregiver-to-dog ratios, keeping labor costs aligned with daily attendance. Provide ongoing feedback, conduct performance reviews, and foster a positive, collaborative team environment. Train staff to recognize early signs of stress, illness, or aggression in dogs, and ensure they know how to handle emergencies or dog fights calmly and effectively. Greet pet parents during check-in/check-out, address questions, and handle client concerns or complaints with professionalism and empathy. Conduct temperament evaluations (meet-and-greets) for incoming dogs to ensure they are a good fit for open-pack play. Maintain accurate up-to-date digital records for all dogs, ensuring required vaccinations (Rabies, Bordetella, DHPP) are current. Provide owners with detailed updates, report cards, or incident reports regarding their dog’s behavior, health, and socialization. Administer medications, supplements, or specialized diets accurately as requested by owners. Provide immediate pet first aid for minor cuts, scrapes, or injuries sustained during play. Safely transport or coordinate the transport of a pet to a partner veterinarian in the event of a medical emergency. I love all the dogs like they are on my own. IAlthough I went to school to be a vet tech at Pierce, I couldn’t see myself in the vet med environment. Caring for animals has and always will be my passion. I am available for walks and check ins at this time. My availability is open all day Saturdays, sundays and Thursdays. And limited availability Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Fridays as I work full time at a doggy daycare/boarding facility here in Lakewood. I’ll give your fur baby lots of love and attention and keep them calm and comfortable while mom/dad are away. I always do a yard/gate check before letting them outside. I will always leave your home in the same or better condition that I arrived in.

About: Extreme dog lover! Extensive medical experience, very active person and I have a very spoiled but well behaved Labrador retriever of my own. I’m very well versed in obedience training as well and can help with basic commands. My dog can sit, lay down, heel, fetch a ball, frisbee, or stick. He also swims during the warmer months and gets exercise everyday. Mental and physical stimulation are very important factors to a dogs health and obedience. I would love to help you out and love on your puppers as much as I love on my own. Bonus points if my pup can come along and they play nicely together. I’m new to this app so let’s see how it goes! Best wishes finding the perfect fit! I work part time as a nurse so my schedule varies. On my days off I’d love to incorporate another dog into my routine and have a play date for Lincoln. I have a shared yard, and put my dog on a 25ft leash when it’s potty time. There is not a fully fenced yard. We also frequent the Steilacoom dog park so if your dog does well in that environment we can go on field trips.
“Angel is the best! He Is very responsible and cares a lot for our puppy! He loves to play and spend time with him like he’s his own dog. His compassion and education about animals Will help him become a great VET in the future. We are lucky to have Angel as our repeat sister!”
“Britt has been doing a great job Walking my 75 lb lab! My girl is so excited every time Brit comes to the door. She gives me a great report card and lots of pictures. Highly recommend!!”

“Truly not enough good things to say about Ethan and our experience with him caring for our dog, Taco. From the beginning, Ethan was super responsive and easy to communicate with him. We right away felt at ease leaving our dog with Ethan and it just worked out perfectly. Every day, Ethan sent us videos and pictures, and it was clear he was loving on our dog as much as he does his own. I’m usually a worry wart when it comes to leaving my dog with anyone. Not this time. And Taco even came home smelling fresh, Ethan bathed him before pickup! More importantly, Taco was a happy pup.”
“My springer spaniel had an amazing time with Jennifer in the spaniel house! Jennifer was warm, excited & endearing and is an incredible caretaker for Mabel! Pictures, lick mats, snuggles & play time were all provided in surplus!”
“Rebecca was a wonderful caretaker of our pup, a 2 y/o Cavalier King Charles. I could see Luna loved having kids to play with. We could also tell when we picked her up after 3 days that she was happy to see us but not in a frantic way, and was very calm on the way home. We’ll definitely ask Rebecca to care for Luna again!”
“Bobbi was amazing with our two dogs when we were out of town for a week! She took them out multiple times a day on walks and had several other dogs around to play with them and keep them busy. She sent pictures/videos everyday and they always looked so happy and well taken care of! Will 100% use again if we go out of town! Best Rover experience we’ve had!”
“The BEST!!! 🐾 🐕Meredith is an absolute lifesaver! We needed emergency boarding during a stressful life transition, and she provided a safe, nurturing space for our ESA (who had sadly been mistreated in someone else's care). Our sweet dog is sometimes fearful and timid, but Meredith was patient, understanding, and helped show his true gentle nature. Highly recommend! 🐾 🏆”
“Our dog stayed with Dana for a few nights over the weekend and she was great. She was very friendly and accommodating. Our dog had a great time there and was definitely in good hands! We would definitely recommend Dana.”
“I highly recommend Dee! She did so great with my boys and I felt at ease on my trip knowing they were being taken care of so well. And she sent videos of them playing in the snow that were so cute!”
“Our dog had the best time!! We received constant updates and are so happy to know he was so well taken care of!! Will definitely be leaving him with Mariana and her family again :)”
“Duke and I are so glad we found Kayle! We have booked two stays with her, one being an 11 day stay (with a 3rd one coming up soon!) and she has been nothing short of amazing. She is very attentive to Duke and has treated him like her own since the first night. She is very flexible which is a bonus for me as I am active duty military (100% recommend). We have definitely found our Washington sitter in Kayle and will continue to book with her for as long as she will have us!! You can feel very comfortable and confident in Kayle’s ability to care for your pet. She keeps open communication through the entire stay and gives your fur baby lots of love while you’re away!! ❤️❤️ 🐶”
“Val is absolutely wonderful. She truly enjoys the dogs and has a perfect routine down for them to make sure everyone stays safe! I will continue to bring my girl to Val when I need to be away for a night!”
“Tony and Krista are fantastic sitters. They are genuine and reliable, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. It’s great to feel free to travel and know that your pet is well cared for.”
“Jennifer watched my pup Phinney this weekend and it looked like he had a blast!! She was responsive and kind, making time for a meet and greet before. We will definitely be reaching out in the future and are so appreciative for her (and Argus!!) who took great care of our fur baby.”
“Elizabeth is fantastic! Such a dog lover, we felt immediately comfortable with her and Ckona clearly had a blast while staying there. Very responsive and professional, sent great pics, and just had a great overall experience.”
“Molly and family were fantastic! I received constant updates and photos of Arrow having a good time. We have used thier service multiple times and been very happy with it!”
“Gisella always takes great care of my bulldog Walter. He loves going there and getting to play with Gisella’s dog Brownie. Gisella is always communicative and flexible, would 100% recommend.”
“Brent and his family cared for our little Dottie like she was his own. His daughters are great with Dottie, and his dogs are friends of hers now too. We had a long time away from home, and we were at ease knowing that she was happy and well take care of with Brent and crew. Thanks for the updates and sweet photos!”
“Noelle is the best dog-sitter we have experienced. My australian shepherd absolutely loves her and her husband! I have complete confidence in her skills and patience.”
