“Ethan was great! He watched our German shepherd for 5 days, he was very attentive, quick to respond and gave us lots of updates! Our dog had a great time playing with Niko and going for walks! She came back extremely happy and we look forward to using his boarding services again!”
“Jennifer did an amazing job with Silo. It was my first time leaving her overnight with a Rover, and Jennifer methodically acclimated Silo to her space, introduced to her to her own pets and made she had all the information she needed to take good care of her. It was very confidence inspiring, and I got tons of pictures of my pup while I was gone. Overall a great experience, I would definitely leave Si with Jennifer again anytime!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Absolutely wonderful with my puppy Dante. Good communication, friendly and sent me updates for peace of mind. I will definitely be using them again when I am out of town or need a break from puppy. Thank you!”
“Very personable and friendly. Great with our dog River right off the bat. Got pictures throughout the boarding, which made it easier. Her dog and River got along well!!”
“Dana was wonderful. Sophie and Bodhi loved her. Bodhi is a special needs dog, visually impaired. She made a point to make sure that Bodhi was comfortable and was included with the group. Thank you Dana!”
“Meredith was incredible! I will definitely be returning to her when we need care again. It was evident the genuine care for my pup, and the communication throughout the stay was top tier. I felt so comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands/ on his own little vacation while I was gone!”
“Becky is exactly perfect for my situation! My dog thrives when he can be included in whatever is going on, and Becky and her three boys made my FOMO 3-year old poodle feel so at home that I think he misses them and didn't miss me! He followed Becky around and she took him to the dog park and she managed his broken leg splint like a pro! Thank you so much, Becky! We'll be back!”
“Our 10 month old Lab, Winter, had a good time with Kana and her dogs. Lana was great at sending photos and updates and adapted to a little more puppy energy than her house is used to. They are so close to us, reasonably priced , and a good place - so we will be back!!”
“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!”
“Liz was WONDERFUL! Our boy Maxx is 12 and a real dog of comfort. Liz sent us daily photos and comments, and Maxx looked like he fit right in in her home with the other dogs. Daily trips to the off-leash dog park were a big hit. Her home had that “dog home” feel to it, and we were quite comfortable leaving our boy there for three days.”
“First time using Rover. Molly, her pups and home environment were very welcoming. My old dog has an expensive dislike to the crowded and noisy concrete boarding facilities. She seemed to enjoy staying in a quiet home like setting with a great backyard and a calming human. I will definitely use Molly again. Convenient and quick drop off and pick up. Thank you!”
“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.”
“Dee Anne took was able to take Luna in on very short notice. She took great care of her. Great communication, care, and made Luna comfortable. Highly recommended, and hope to be able to have her care for Luna again in the future!”
“Thanks so much for taking good care of Luna while I was out of town! This was the first time I’ve used Rover for boarding, and was a great experience. I also has fight delays and ended up getting back into town late. I really appreciate le the flexibility and kindness in working with me. I also REALLY appreciated the daily updates with photos - gave us a lot of comfort while my kids and I were away from our fur baby 🥰”

“Alexa & Connor were wonderful cat sitters for us and we highly recommend them! They took great care of our boys, especially our older cat that needs twice a day medication. They fed them, cleaned up, and spent time giving them attention, and sent detailed notes/photos on each visit which we really appreciated.”
“What great peace of mind to know that our girl,Deva was so well cared for by Dana while we were away. Really loved the photos and reports. We look forward to using the service again. Purrs.... Debbie R.”
“Liz was the perfect sitter for both our house and our two cats. She seemed to know how to get close to the cats, including one who has long had a difficult time warming up to new people. We communicated to Liz that one of our cats sometimes had a hard time eating when confronted with a new "cook." She texted us regular reports (with photos) to show that he was eating every meal. When we got home the cats were almost "too happy" which made us thankful that we found Liz. We will use her again!”
“I was away from my kitties for three weeks and the only reason I wasn't afraid everyday was because of Tatiana! They've never liked anyone else, but very quickly she and them had bonded and I was getting oodles of pictures of them happily cuddling away. She stayed in full contact with me and I could feel how much she cared about them from the pictures and messages. Will be re-booking next time!”
“We’re so grateful to Cindy for stepping in last minute during the holidays to care for Chewie and Nino! She went above and beyond, keeping us updated with adorable photos and ensuring our cats felt loved and comfortable. Both cats were happy and relaxed when we returned, which speaks to Cindy’s attentive care. We highly recommend her and will definitely reach out next time!”
“Clarissa was amazing! I needed a cat sitter last minute, and she was there for me right away. She was super responsive and even made time to meet with me the same day I booked. She was incredibly sweet with my cats and followed all of my instructions perfectly. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I definitely know who I’ll be calling next time I need cat care!”
“Brooklyn was very prompt with responding and sent photos of my cats daily and gave updates when needed! She was open to using a lockbox to get keys out rather than in person handoff and made things much easier!”
“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.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner of 5 dogs for over 10 years. I’ve been a cat owner for 12 years. I have a lot of experience with many different types of animals and love them all equally. I mostly work on the weekends and watch my baby on the weekdays so I am pretty flexible with my time. I would prefer to offer my services in the morning but can be flexible as needed. I provide pet care in the client’s home, where I can keep their pets comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I follow their feeding, walking, playtime, and medication schedules as instructed. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while their owners are away. I treat every home and pet with respect and care, and I make their safety and well-being my top priority.
“We had such a wonderful experience with Kelsey while we were out of town for a week! Communication was truly excellent — we always felt informed and reassured while we were away. She was incredibly flexible and accommodating when our travel plans unexpectedly changed, which meant so much to us. We loved receiving frequent photos and updates, and it was clear our pets were happy and well cared for. Beyond being reliable and professional, she was genuinely kind and thoughtful. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter.”
“Katelyn did a fantastic job doing daily drop in visits with my cat Snap. She clearly spent lots of quality playing with Snap. I can see from the pictures that Katelyn bonded with Snap and gave her lots of love and attention. I will definitely book with Katelyn in the future.”
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.
“Kim is a fantastic sitter. I’ve tried several sitters for my two pups that both have very differing needs, Kim is by far the best. She understands dog’s needs. Leaving the dogs with her adds a level of relaxation to our trips knowing my precious pups are being well cared for.”
“amazing!! allycen was so communicative and kind, i'm very glad to hear jiji hung out with her. she provided lots of revenant pics and details, i had zero questions about how jiji was doing since she covered it all. absolutely recommend and will definitely be booking again😊”

“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!”
“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.”
“Kyley and her husband took wonderful care of my puppy! They have a huge, secure yard where the dogs can run and play, and it was clear my puppy had a great time. They are incredibly kind, friendly, and genuinely care about the pets they look after. I felt completely at ease knowing my puppy was in such good hands. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving pet sitters!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
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!
“Molly is amazing! First time we have ever used Rover and the moment we met Molly we knew she was thorough with her care and truly loved the dogs like her own. We got photos and updates throughout Maples stay. She was so relaxed and treated like a princess. We already have overnights booked with Molly! Highly recommend!”
“Thank you Jennifer for accommodating Lily for this last minute request. Your senior pup knowledge and experience made me feel secure in leaving our feisty one with you. Thank you for the numerous pics and updates as to how she acclimated to your pup friendly home. Thank you!”
“Matt is kind and patient with my Italian greyhound. He sent several text updates with photos. He took the dogs on walks and played outside in his big yard - she was happily worn out at the end of the day. My pup loved him! I will definitely book with him again and recommend him to friends.”
“Sarah was fabulous! She provided daycare bright and early in the morning until my husband and I were able to come home from work. Total lifesaver to help provide the best care for our 4 month old puppy, Newt. He loved it there and enjoyed playing around with her two dogs who are total sweethearts. She sent photos of him on his walks and cuddling on the couch. I am so impressed! Thanks, Sarah!”
“We’re very happy to have found Mollie and her crew for weekly daycare for our Great Dane puppy. They’re very understanding of his needs and knowledgeable in dog care and behavior, making his transition into their home as easy as could be! Mollie is really on it with communication and updates and is willing to work with him while he’s learning. Our pup is well cared for and well loved, as evident by how he jumps up with excitement from a dead sleep when he gets dropped off in the morning. Grateful for the M’s and their pups!”
“Dylan was very responsive and clearly cares for the pups in his care. He watched over our young puppy and shared lots of updates and photos to assure us throughout the day!”
“My dog Modi absolutely loves Sienna! She does amazing with him and he always comes home EXHAUSTED. We had modi go to someone else while I wasnt in town,mistake there on my part, and she was so willingly to take him in an hours notice. I always get nervous leaving modi with people but we have constantly gone back to Sienna for daycare and will use her for boarding if we ever need it. She also sends us updated pictures of him, which I love. 10/10 recommend and I can’t stress how amazing she is ☺️”
About: I’ve had dogs of all ages and sizes in my life since childhood. I’ve trained several dogs and am very patient and loving to all. I’m currently retired and can work with just about any schedule. Please contact me directly to arrange a time that works best for your pup. I have a fully fenced back yard and currently no animals of my own. Summer I spend most my time on my deck and in my garden. Your pup is welcome to join me. I have recently became a grandma and occasionally am a babysitter. Your pup must be loving towards toddlers to join us unless it’s a short stay that my babies won’t be joining. Contact me for additional scheduling. Thanks for understanding. Besides a few trips to the store or an occasional appointment I am home pretty much 24/7 so I’ll become your pups new bestie 😁 I have a fully fenced backyard. Because we have so many bunnies in our area when we build our fence we attached chicken wire to the bottom of the fence and buried the end in the dirt. So even the littlest of pups are safe!

About: We are a married couple that both have experience in caring for animals for both of our entire lives. We deeply understand how much trust is involved when someone else is looking after your pets. I (Alexa) have grown up with furry companions and have always had a deep love for animals, especially dogs. Connor has also spent his life caring for pets and understands the responsibility and attention every animal needs. Between us, we have experience caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities, including high energy dogs, large and small breeds, senior pets, and animals who need various medications. We have cared for pets belonging to friends, family, and neighbors, along with our own animals! Alexa has also volunteered at local animal shelters and has had the pleasure of listening to Lee Asher speak in person. We are currently proud pet parents to a small dog, a large dog, a mischievous cat, and a senior kitty, so we know firsthand that every pet has their own routine, quirks, and needs. Whether your pet needs exercise, enrichment, medication, patience, or simply some extra love while you’re away, we will treat them like they are our own. Your pets are in great 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 two days off (although they might change weekly). We would be more than happy to house & pet sit for you, provide walks, and do daily check-ins as well! In a clients home, we will respect your space and go places that are only necessary to your pets care & safety. We make sure to always clean before we go, and believe in leaving spaces exactly as you’ve left them for us. 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.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was 5 years old. I’ve taken care of many different breeds of dogs. I have been trusted to take care of, walk, feed and play with friends and families dogs and cats In both my own home and theirs. Both of my dogs have passed away now. My boy was 14.5 years old when he passed in June 2026. My girl passed in April 2024. Being able to care for other animals while not fully ready to have my own fur baby again will help me with the loneliness of not having my baby here any longer. I am available for all care levels from drop in to house sitting. I am currently unemployed, so i currently have open availability to walk and care for others pets. I am available any day of the week, and look forward to connecting with you and your beloved fur babies. I have a nice size yard that is fully fenced allowing dogs to be able to run and play freely. I do have another dog in the home who is friendly with other dogs, she is an Australian Shepherd. I am able to crate either dog at anytime if necessary. I am a big cuddle lover, if you prefer your animals not to be on the couch, please let me know so I don’t have them on the furniture.
About: I have extensive experience with sitting and walking different types of dogs. I have one pup at home and have grown up with dogs (and cats). I’m currently working part-time while on summer break from WWU. Meaning I’ll have plenty of time to spend playing, petting, or walking with your pups :) I can’t host dogs at the moment, because of renovations. But am more than happy to travel to petsit and can accommodate any requests or health issues your pup may have.
About: What makes my pet care different is the personal touch I bring to every visit. I don't just care for your pets-I make sure you feel connected to them while you're away. I love capturing their personalities through fun photos and sending you daily updates so you never miss a tail wag, silly pose, or happy moment. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family is safe, loved, and having a great time, while giving your pets the attention, play, and care they deserve. As a full-time online student, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize caring for pets throughout the week. I'm available during weekdays for walks, drop-ins, and playtime, and I also offer overnight care for families who need extra support. Because my classes are online, I can easily adjust my time to fit your pet's routine, ensuring they get consistent attention, companionship, and care whenever you need it. I am a trustworthy sitter with four years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and breeds. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch, understand that every animal has unique needs and I adapt my care to fit their routine, personality, and comfort. My reliability, patience, and genuine love for animals mean you can feel confident knowing your pet is in safe, caring hands. With a flexible schedule, I make sure your pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve-just as if they were my own.
“Bobbi is the best! I never have to worry when she is scheduled to come see my dogs when I am at work. I appreciate her photos and visit summaries, and she checks in if there are any questions or concerns. So happy to have her close by!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Tanya and Alex were amazing! They communicated very well and Toby loved them rightaway when he met them. They followed instructions well and I came home to a happy boy who had a good walk!”
“We have used Angela a couple times now and she is amazing with Jett! She is super kind and patient with him. When we got Jett he was super skiddish and afraid of everything and she has helped so much”

“Megan is such a kind soul and really a blessing and is really good with nova. Nova always gets excited when Megan comes around. I've already mentioned how wonderful she is with communication but I'll say it again because she is a rockstar”
“Cindy is AMAZING! We have a dog-reactive Bully breed who is more on the high maintenance side, and Cindy has been a gem through this process so far. As a first time Rover user for my 7-year old dog, I feel so comfortable with her. Thank you Cindy! Titus loves you!”
“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. ?”

“Ethan was great! He watched our German shepherd for 5 days, he was very attentive, quick to respond and gave us lots of updates! Our dog had a great time playing with Niko and going for walks! She came back extremely happy and we look forward to using his boarding services again!”
“Jennifer did an amazing job with Silo. It was my first time leaving her overnight with a Rover, and Jennifer methodically acclimated Silo to her space, introduced to her to her own pets and made she had all the information she needed to take good care of her. It was very confidence inspiring, and I got tons of pictures of my pup while I was gone. Overall a great experience, I would definitely leave Si with Jennifer again anytime!”
“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!”
“Dana was wonderful. Sophie and Bodhi loved her. Bodhi is a special needs dog, visually impaired. She made a point to make sure that Bodhi was comfortable and was included with the group. Thank you Dana!”
“Meredith was incredible! I will definitely be returning to her when we need care again. It was evident the genuine care for my pup, and the communication throughout the stay was top tier. I felt so comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands/ on his own little vacation while I was gone!”
“Becky is exactly perfect for my situation! My dog thrives when he can be included in whatever is going on, and Becky and her three boys made my FOMO 3-year old poodle feel so at home that I think he misses them and didn't miss me! He followed Becky around and she took him to the dog park and she managed his broken leg splint like a pro! Thank you so much, Becky! We'll be back!”
“Liz was WONDERFUL! Our boy Maxx is 12 and a real dog of comfort. Liz sent us daily photos and comments, and Maxx looked like he fit right in in her home with the other dogs. Daily trips to the off-leash dog park were a big hit. Her home had that “dog home” feel to it, and we were quite comfortable leaving our boy there for three days.”
“First time using Rover. Molly, her pups and home environment were very welcoming. My old dog has an expensive dislike to the crowded and noisy concrete boarding facilities. She seemed to enjoy staying in a quiet home like setting with a great backyard and a calming human. I will definitely use Molly again. Convenient and quick drop off and pick up. Thank you!”
“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.”
“Dee Anne took was able to take Luna in on very short notice. She took great care of her. Great communication, care, and made Luna comfortable. Highly recommended, and hope to be able to have her care for Luna again in the future!”
“Jena is truly an angel! I don’t have enough words to thank Jena and her beautiful family for the love they gave Fuzzy. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt at peace knowing he was in the kindest, most caring hands. She sent me daily photos and updates that warmed my heart — Fuzzy looked so happy, relaxed, and truly loved. She even gave him a bath, and he came home smelling amazing, so soft, and full of joy. It honestly felt like he was part of their family. Knowing he was that well cared for means everything to me. Jena, thank you for treating Fuzzy like your own — we can’t wait to see you again! 💕🐶✨”
“Kayle was great with my dog Rocky! She sent photos every day and I could tell he was having a good time. 10/10 would recommend her as a sitter. I will be asking her to petsit for me in the future!”
“Noelle is the BEST! This was the first time I’ve ever used a dog sitter or Rover so I was nervous, until I met Noelle. She was so welcoming and eased all my worries. Ellie is a six month old Cockapoo so I was worried she might become depressed since this was the first time being away from home but with Noelle’s loving care, Ellie had a blast! I wasn’t sure if she would want to come back home. I appreciated Noelle’s daily updates, pictures and videos. I am so thankful that I found Noelle and we’ll definitely be back. Thank you again, Noelle!”
“Kristin was beyond amazing. My hubby & I boarded our pit bull Weatherly for a night with her. Our dog is reactive towards other dogs, and a pit bull, so trying to find someone to watch her that doesn't feel uneasy can be a bit hard. We did a meet & greet, and I instantly knew she was the one to take care of our dog Weatherly. Kristin is very personable, within 5min of talking with her she felt like a long time friend. She has great communication, my hubby & I got picture updates. Her & weatherly hit it off from the beginning, and Kristin was super attentive to Weatherly's needs. We love Kristin so much, we actually rebooked. Weatherly will get to hang out with Kristin for 5 days, while my family & I are on a trip. She's our go to person!! Thank you for taking such good care of our fur baby!!!”
“Jennifer was great! She is obviously very experienced and knowledgeable about dogs. My pup had some unexpected problems adjusting to being away from us for an extended period of time and she was very understanding and kind. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and loving sitter.”
“Mollie did a fantastic job. Our dog was well cared for and loved during her stay. Mollie sent lots of update with photos of our dog happily playing and hanging around the house. Easy to recommend Mollie.”
“I had to board our newly adopted dog (we had him a little over a month) with Heather for a week. I cannot speak highly enough of the care she provides! He was treated like family. We had frequent updates and when he had a brief behavior issue (growling), she let me know right away. He settled in and was a happy, healthy dog when I returned. She was amazing!”
