“I have nothing but good things to say about Ratih. My cat, Noni, is the biggest critic of pet sitters, and both times now when I have returned to pick him up, he completely ignores me upon my arrival—I think he might have found a new favorite person!”
“Aarika was very responsive, polite and flexible. I felt that she was easily accessible. My pup was very happy and clearly well taken care of. It was clear to me that she treated him as if he was her own and that’s exactly what I’m looking for in a Dog Sitter . I almost don’t want to leave her a good review because I want to keep her services all to myself! Haha .”
“Babu runs to the door to be let in when I bring him to Amber's. He gets to play all day with other dogs, and comes home good and tired. This was our second stay. She's very straightforward and reliable.”
“Jennifer was wonderful and so understanding that this was only the 2nd time my dog Charlie had been bordered. She kept me updated with photos. I’m sure her guinea pigs are happy Charlie went back home.”
“Our fur goblin Vivi had a fabulous stay with Kara and her pup Doc! Vivi is an energetic gal who loves play and walks, and had a good time with the toy basket at Kara’s place. We appreciated Kara’s updates, photos, and even a video of Vivi and Doc playing together. We felt very comfortable leaving Vivi in Kara’s care.”
“Kris was so helpful! All questions I asked were answered promptly and clearly, and while Aniol my nearly two year old dog stayed at Kris's family home, he seemed to have a safe and comfortable experience! I was so grateful for updates in words and pictures! We will certainly bring Aniol to Kris's again.”
“Omi was calm and comfortable with Elaine, which was was perfect for our nervous young chihuahua. She specializes in small dogs, so this was a perfect fit. We plan on having Omi stay with her in the future.”
“April is amazing and her boarding is top notch. We're excited to have found an incredible teacher and can't wait to learn from her so we can get the same amazing results on our walks with our pups. She took the time to get to know us and each of our dogs. Her approach is structured and supportive. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Sara and Cannon took great care of my dog for 2 nights while we were away. They were quick to respond and send updates. My dog doesn't like to eat sometimes when he stays at Rovers, and they were able to make him feel comfortable enough to eat. He also can be a little weird about some of others, especially larger ones. But they have a smart separation and introduction system, so my dog warmed up nicely and got along well with all the other dogs and enjoyed playing. My dog really enjoyed snooping around their fenced backyard too! I recommend Sara for sitting your dog!”
“Brooke is an amazing dog sitter. She has a huge yard for Birdie and her new best friend Lambeau. Lots of photos and texts. Lots of walks and attention. Thank you again!”
“Cynthia was absolutely wonderful with our pups! She sent us lots of photos and updates throughout their stay, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for. She truly goes above and beyond. She even gave our dogs a bath before we picked them up, and while they were there, they got to join in celebrating her dog’s birthday! She did the cutest birthday photo shoot and even sent our pups home with little goodie bags. Such a fun and thoughtful surprise! It’s clear Cynthia genuinely loves dogs and treats every one like family. Our pups came home happy, clean, and loved. We will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing sitter!”
About: I have had and trained dogs since I was 7 years old. My first dog was a Doberman and I’ve had multiple Rottweilers since then. I’ve also trained Staffies, Doodles, Pit Bulls, Labs, GSPs, Terriers and plenty of other breeds. I showed in 4-H for 12 years with my Dobie, a Staffy, three Rottweilers, and my dad’s deaf French Bulldog that I taught hand signals to. I have also showed in Rally, Obedience, Showmanship, and Confirmation through AKC since I was 9. My last Rottweiler, “Moxie” had almost 15 AKC obedience and companion titles by the time she passed away at 5 years old from lymphoma. I really enjoy working with reactive, aggressive, or headstrong dogs that are in need of a second chance though I am happy to train just about anything! I’ve also been housesitting and pet sitting intermittently since I got my license at 16! I am somewhat starting out when it comes to board and training so I don’t have a ton of reviews or referrals but I am hoping to build them here!! I work a couple of part time jobs as a barista where I take the dogs with me! I drive a VW Jetta TDI wagon and have mastered the technique to keep the car plenty cool during my shifts and I potty the dogs every two to four hours. I go on lots of hikes, frequent the beach, and have tons of toys to play with! I only work 5-6 hours at a time so I make sure to give them the enrichment they need before or after work. I have a studio mother-in-law style house with a large fenced backyard and crates/cots inside the house. If your dog is happy go lucky and laid back, they’ll be loose when I am home but when/if I’m not home, they’ll will be crated along with my dog. The house has fabulous ventilation and hasn’t ever been too hot during the summer or too cold during the winter. My dog is a very friendly four month old Rottweiler puppy. He is proofed around other dogs, cats, and children. I also frequently watch a 9 month old Rottweiler for a friend of mine. She is also proofed, and the most friendly, playful, and patient dog I have trained. I have the facilities to keep them apart upon request and they will never be left together unattended.
“Kelsey and family are a lovely home for our little Yorkie. I appreciate having a local, quality dog sitting arrangement. I have no hesitation recommending Kelsey as a pet companion and home sitting service.”
“My older one hesitant and one with separation anxiety, did well with Sherri. It was 4th of July and the fireworks made every one nervous. She was good about sending messages and photos of the girls to me every day. We where happy and will use her services again. ”
“There was very good communication from the beginning of the book till the end. I appreciated the updates with pictures of my dog. I would definitely rebook with Kimberly in the future. Service was 10/10.”

Prices are estimates per visit. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I love animals and understand that cats have their own personalities, boundaries, and routines. I’m patient and comfortable giving them space to warm up to me at their own pace. I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and companionship while following your instructions carefully. I’ll also send photos and updates during each visit so you know your cat is safe and comfortable.
“Karolina is the best cat sitter we have ever had!! This is our second time working with her and we’re so grateful to have found her. She takes extra special care of our two cats and also leaves our home so clean and tidy during her stays. She sends lovely updates. She has even been able to get our shy cat to come out and play some. We also appreciate that we can be hard to reach when out of town but she’s always on top of things. We highly recommend her services. Thank you again, Karolina!”
“Amber is a fantastic pet sitter. I have booked her several times in the last year, she is very reliable and takes care of the "extra" things that come up during a week or more out of town. It snowed the last time I was gone, I came home to a freshly shoveled front walk and driveway which was amazing and much appreciated after a very long day of travel.”
About: Growing up on a hobby farm I've always owned cats, my family had 8 and I had 2 of my own. I've been taking care of cats of various ages since I was 10. My skills with cats include but aren't limited to observing body language, working with feral cats from the spot program, giving meds/shots and training. My cat is trained to sit and harness trained.
“Lindsay was so great with my kitties. During our meet and greet, she asked several great questions that impressed me, such as where each cat generally gets their wet food, so she could keep their routine as cloae to normal as she could. She dropped in daily and made sure everything was full and the litter boxes emptied. She also took care of making sure my old man got his thyroid pills and sent lots of pictures so I didn't miss them quite as much as normal. I will definitely use her next time I leave and recommend her.”
“Donna was wonderful. We received messages and pictures every day while away. Both of our cats were well cared for you could tell. Very reassuring when one is out of the country. We came home to a tidy home with even the guest bed washed and remade! Would definitely use her again when we travel.”
“Jessica is one of the kindest-hearted and thoughtful person you'd meet. In a world often focused on capitalism over humanity, she is a rare gem. I'll start by saying that I have never boarded my pets because they travel with me full-time, but when I have to do a very long backcountry hike in the Cascades over difficult terrain that doesn't allow pets, I was lucky to find Jess last-minute to host my kitty in case I get injured and can't return to him in a timely manner. Setting: Like-minded animal lovers always hold a special place in my heart. Here, you are not going to find an immaculate, more corporate type pet-sitting kennel setup. Instead, you will find a warm, loving home cared for full-time by Jess and her family. Jessica's home has many animals. In addition to dogs to cats, she also raises farm animals of various kinds. I have no idea how all the animals find ways to live largely harmoniously together, but when I first pulled up to her home, I was greeted by many of them :) Sitting service: traveling in and around the Cascades often requires flexibility. Dark, windy mountain roads, spotty cell reception, etc make pinning down exact travel plans a challenge. Ever accommodating, Jess understood this and was so kind and reassuring while I was away. If you book your pet with her, you may find that she doesn't just care for your pet; she takes the time to learn and understand your needs and offers help whenever she can. I was upfront about being unsure of how long my hike would take. Well, it ended up taking much longer than I anticipated. Not only did she work with me on the timing of pick-up, she was so kind to offer help/advice in other thoughtful ways. Booking: If you want to work with (and have your hard-earned dollars go toward supporting a local small business service), consider reaching out to Jessica, clearly communicate your needs/pet peeves. You won't be disappointed and will leave with a local friend.”
About: I’ve taken care of many cats since I was a little kid. I’ve also had my fair share of kittens and old cats. I’ve raised 3 cats of my own and helped took in other cats that were left behind by their old owners. I know how to clean litter boxes and also bathe cats. I know how to give cats medicine and clean any mess.
About: Cats are my specialty, and I understand that every cat has their own unique personality and routine. I currently care for my own cats, including one who takes daily steroid medication, so I'm comfortable following medication schedules and paying close attention to changes in behavior. Whether your cat loves to play, prefers quiet company, or simply needs someone to keep their routine consistent, I'll provide attentive, compassionate care. Every visit includes fresh food and water, litter box cleaning, playtime or companionship, and photo updates so you can relax knowing your cat is in good hands.

About: This year I adopted a sweet 7 year old cat named Violet from the shelter. Being my first cat, I am still learning a lot from her. She hasn't been around any other cats since, so I'm not comfortable with bringing a cat to my house, but I'd love to do drop ins or house sit for your kitties!

“Jennifer did a wonderful job taking care of my little ZuZu. I appreciated that she was able to take care of her last minute. I felt like I was leaving her in good hands and I would definitely have Jennifer take care of my puppy again! ☺️”
“Amber took amazing care of Lili! This was my first Rover experience so naturally I was nervous. I was also worried because Amber had big dogs that I wasn't sure my dog would get along with. Well, I didn't need to worry at all! Amber's dogs are calm and very well trained and got along great with Lili. I LOVED getting pictures and updates. It is very clear that Amber is an experienced dog owner, and treated Lili like her own :) Lili got so much attention and love, will book again!”
“She took great care of my dog Damian! He came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Communication was smooth, and I really appreciated the updates. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone needing a reliable sitter.”
“Elaine has been doing such an awesome job with my boy Maka. She’s watched him twice so far and definitely won’t be my last time working with her. Her family seems very sweet and welcoming, makes me feel more comfortable knowing that my dog will be in great care.”
“Morgan was absolutely wonderful with Vader! You could tell he loved her. She walked him frequently and gave him lots of love and us lots of pics. Would absolutely highly recommend!!!”
“Katrina is a gem - quick responses, and was very easy going and willing to roll with it when I (embarrassingly) forgot my dog's bag of lunch, toys, etc. the first time I brought him over. I don't think he even missed his things, given how well her place is set up for dogs. The big, fenced back yard is a dream!”
“Brooke was very communicative and my boy came home sooooo tired! She has a large yard where he zoomed with her dog and she walked him multiple times during the day! Thanks Brooke and Lambeau!”
“Leslie is awesome to work with. We started with a meet and greet and then Toast stayed with her for daycare. She was very communicative, and was wonderful with Toast. Sometimes he can get really excited and stressed with too much time with other dogs, but when I picked him up he was relaxed and happy. We'll totally book with her again.”
About: I have recently moved from Nashville to Bellingham area. I have fostered over 60 dogs with Snooty Giggles Dog Rescue. I have dealt with multiple breeds as well as puppies and especially seniors with medical issues. I currently have a foster pug so I can house sit if I can bring her along or drop in. Your pups can also stay at my house. I work remotely so I can house sit, pet sit at anytime as long as I'm not going to be out of town or already booked. I will follow closely the directions given by the client. I have had dogs and I have competed internationally in horse competitions. I understand how people are particular about their pets.
“We appreciate Kelsey so much!!! ! Sorcha and Rabinson were the happiest pups at pick up each day. It was so easy to schedule and we’re so grateful for her acceptance with our short-ish notice for care. The pups had a beautiful yard to play in and loved getting attention and love from Kelsey and family. 100% recommend!!!”
About: I've been an animal person my whole life; from originally wanting to be a vet (decided to pivot due to the sadness that probably comes from being a vet) to caring for pets of my own. I've always felt I've been able to understand animals better than most people. I think it stems from my ability to innately understand their non-verbal communication. Hence, the Dolittle reference. A typical day in my home is calm, comfortable, and centered around the pet’s normal routine. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, a clean space, plenty of attention, and time to play or relax depending on their personality. I’m happy to follow any specific routines you have at home so your pet feels as comfortable and familiar as possible. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box or potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I also pay close attention to their behavior and comfort level, giving them plenty of affection when they want it and space when they need it.

About: I grew up in a household taking care of many different types of animals. Dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, caged birds, as well as livestock such as chickens, various fowl and goats. My dog walking and sitting experience includes caring many rescues since I was a small child.

Understanding how dogs communicate and express various emotions is a key part of being a good caretaker. I am a touring bluegrass musician, but have plenty of home time. My schedule works great for folks that are looking for a dog walker while they are out of town or just need someone to help take some of the walking off your hands to free up time! Dont hesitate to reach out with any questions. I am always available and responsive, and very easy to get ahold of at all times. I have a very thorough understanding of the importance of meticulous care and trust in a dog walking or pet care relationship. My approach is always 100% of the time treating your pet, belongings and property with the utmost respect, via deliberation and forethought. I pride myself in curating a safe, trusting environment with my clients.

About: i have had 20+ years of dog experience of any kind. I grew up with different kinds of dogs from small poodles to big dogs like labs, rottweilers, etc. I have experience with training, feeding, medication, fleas, etc. I did alot of care for the animals since I was 7 years old for my neighbors and family member when they were gone on vacation and whatnot.

And let me know ahead of time so I know whether to keep my cats in my house or in a different building with my friends cats while your pets are here.
About: I grew up with golden retrievers and dobermans, and have a profound love for all dogs. I took a one year online and in person course for basic dog obedience training with Animal Behavior College. I enjoy taking my pups on hikes, swimming, and to parks where they can play. I also have chickens, turkeys, ducks, goats, rabbits, and geese! Animals are truly my passion, and my goal is to make my house feel like their home away from home. I'm a stay at home mom (I was previously a HS teacher), and my days are typically spent outdoors with my dogs and kiddos (weather permitting). So my schedule is very flexible! I have a fully fenced yard, and a house with plenty of room for the dogs to romp. I also have a designated area for my cats, whenever they’re wanting to get away from the dogs, so for in home pet sitting, your cat(s) can have a safe place to decompress and not be overwhelmed with dogs. I can easily crate dogs if needed, but my dogs usually have free run of the house, and your dog(s) can too! My dogs get along with animals of all kinds, and are very gentle and friendly.
About: I have taken care of my dog for several months, kept up with his training and spend time playing. Puppies need extra attention to grow into healthy adults. Adults need just as much affection and some play time. I work full-time weekdays but I am available in the evenings. Saturdays are free for me to play with dogs and take care of them. I can manage keeping up with a dogs training and take care of their needs at the same time! Who needs their dogs loved on or watched over?
About: Currently raising my 4th puppy a Newfoundland name Freydis , raised a frenchie and 2 newfies prior. The bigger the dog the better. Please keep in mind I don’t drive or have a car but I do have and ebike. Easily accepting Redmond/Kirkland/Woodinville/Bothell jobs. I work full time Monday/Tuesday/Thursday/Friday 6:30am-3:00pm. I am free all times outside of that. I’m able to do one offs but I would prefer something ongoing. Prefer to bring my friendly potty trained puppy but understand if that’s not your pets/babies vibe. Hyper aware of dangerous floor items, dangerous foods, what toys aren’t appropriate and why, what collars and harness are are good for what. I want my animals to eat the best items, play with toys that won’t hurt them and make them the happiest babies so they live the longest. Your animals aren’t JUST pets they are our world!
“She took care of my babies when I went to Hawaii. After the first day she hurt her leg and was very upfront with me about it, even asking if I wanted to use someone else. I chose to stick with her and she let my dogs out to potty the whole week even on crutches. Honest and reliable person!”
About: Ever since I was a kid, I’ve had this special bond with animals. I was always the one neighbors/familt friends would call to walk their dogs, feed their cats, or look after their birds and reptiles. It just came naturally to me, and I loved every minute of it. Those early experiences really sparked my passion for animal care. As I grew older, I wanted to make sure I was the best at what I do, so I took lots of courses in pet health, nutrition, and behavior. I believe every animal is unique and deserves personalized care, so I always try to understand their individual needs and personalities. Because of this, many pet owners trust me with their beloved animals, knowing they’re in good hands. I don’t just stick to the basics either. I’m known for going the extra mile, whether it’s staying up all night with a sick pet, finding the best toys and activities to keep them entertained, or just giving them lots of love and cuddles. My home often becomes a safe haven for animals in need, and I’m committed to making sure every pet I care for lives a happy, healthy life. Taking care of animals isn’t just a job for me; it’s a mission I’m truly passionate about. One of the most rewarding parts of what I do is seeing the transformation in the animals I care for. Whether it’s a rescue dog learning to trust again, a cat recovering from an illness, or a bird that starts to sing joyfully, each success story fuels my dedication. I’ve had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of animals, each with its own story and needs, and it’s always a privilege to be part of their journey. Over time, I’ve built a reputation in my community for being reliable, compassionate, and knowledgeable. Pet owners know they can count on me not just for basic care, but for a level of attention and love that makes a real difference. It’s not uncommon for me to receive updates and thank-you notes long after I’ve cared for someone’s pet, which always warms my heart and reaffirms why I do what I do. Looking ahead, I’m excited to continue expanding my knowledge and skills in animal care. There’s always something new to learn, and I’m committed to staying at the forefront of best practices in pet health and well-being. My goal is to keep providing top-notch care and to be a trusted resource for pet owners who want the very best for their furry, feathered, or scaly family members. I work as a veterinary assistant at a pet emergency center, where I interact with animals of all kinds on a daily basis. In this fast-paced environment, I have gained extensive experience handling emergencies, assisting with medical procedures, and administering medications. My role requires me to stay calm under pressure, adapt quickly to unexpected situations, and provide compassionate care to animals, no matter how challenging the circumstance. When I provide care for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is to maintain the pet’s daily routine and ensure their comfort, health, and safety. I take every measure to reduce stress, provide consistent care, and keep owners updated throughout the process. To achieve this, I follow the guidelines below: • Feeding & Hydration • Meals are provided according to the pet’s regular schedule and portion instructions. • Fresh water is checked and refilled at every visit. • Any dietary restrictions, allergies, or special feeding requirements are strictly followed. • Medication & Special Care • Prescription and over-the-counter medications are administered exactly as directed. • Detailed records are kept for medication administration. • Any ongoing medical conditions, treatments, or post-operative care instructions are carefully monitored and followed. • Exercise & Enrichment • Dogs are walked according to their energy level, leash behavior, and owner preferences. • Playtime and enrichment activities are provided to keep pets mentally and physically stimulated. • Safety protocols are always followed when outside the home (e.g., secure leashing, avoiding unsafe areas, monitoring for triggers). • Health & Behavior Monitoring • Pets are observed closely for any changes in appetite, energy level, behavior, or bathroom habits. • Any signs of illness, injury, or distress are documented and reported to the owner promptly. • If needed, emergency veterinary care will be sought in accordance with the owner’s instructions. • Home & Environment • Litter boxes, cages, or designated potty areas are cleaned and maintained as instructed. • Pet areas are kept tidy, and any accidents are cleaned appropriately. • I respect the client’s home and belongings, ensuring cleanliness and security during each visit. • Communication & Updates • Owners receive regular updates, including written notes, photos, or videos upon request. • Any concerns or questions are communicated promptly for transparency and peace of mind. • Emergency contact information is kept on hand at all times. By following these standards, I am able to provide reliable, professional, and compassionate care while ensuring each pet feels safe and loved in their own home.

“Aarika was very responsive, polite and flexible. I felt that she was easily accessible. My pup was very happy and clearly well taken care of. It was clear to me that she treated him as if he was her own and that’s exactly what I’m looking for in a Dog Sitter . I almost don’t want to leave her a good review because I want to keep her services all to myself! Haha .”
“Babu runs to the door to be let in when I bring him to Amber's. He gets to play all day with other dogs, and comes home good and tired. This was our second stay. She's very straightforward and reliable.”
“April is amazing and her boarding is top notch. We're excited to have found an incredible teacher and can't wait to learn from her so we can get the same amazing results on our walks with our pups. She took the time to get to know us and each of our dogs. Her approach is structured and supportive. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Sara and Cannon took great care of my dog for 2 nights while we were away. They were quick to respond and send updates. My dog doesn't like to eat sometimes when he stays at Rovers, and they were able to make him feel comfortable enough to eat. He also can be a little weird about some of others, especially larger ones. But they have a smart separation and introduction system, so my dog warmed up nicely and got along well with all the other dogs and enjoyed playing. My dog really enjoyed snooping around their fenced backyard too! I recommend Sara for sitting your dog!”
“Brooke is an amazing dog sitter. She has a huge yard for Birdie and her new best friend Lambeau. Lots of photos and texts. Lots of walks and attention. Thank you again!”
About: I have had and trained dogs since I was 7 years old. My first dog was a Doberman and I’ve had multiple Rottweilers since then. I’ve also trained Staffies, Doodles, Pit Bulls, Labs, GSPs, Terriers and plenty of other breeds. I showed in 4-H for 12 years with my Dobie, a Staffy, three Rottweilers, and my dad’s deaf French Bulldog that I taught hand signals to. I have also showed in Rally, Obedience, Showmanship, and Confirmation through AKC since I was 9. My last Rottweiler, “Moxie” had almost 15 AKC obedience and companion titles by the time she passed away at 5 years old from lymphoma. I really enjoy working with reactive, aggressive, or headstrong dogs that are in need of a second chance though I am happy to train just about anything! I’ve also been housesitting and pet sitting intermittently since I got my license at 16! I am somewhat starting out when it comes to board and training so I don’t have a ton of reviews or referrals but I am hoping to build them here!! I work a couple of part time jobs as a barista where I take the dogs with me! I drive a VW Jetta TDI wagon and have mastered the technique to keep the car plenty cool during my shifts and I potty the dogs every two to four hours. I go on lots of hikes, frequent the beach, and have tons of toys to play with! I only work 5-6 hours at a time so I make sure to give them the enrichment they need before or after work. I have a studio mother-in-law style house with a large fenced backyard and crates/cots inside the house. If your dog is happy go lucky and laid back, they’ll be loose when I am home but when/if I’m not home, they’ll will be crated along with my dog. The house has fabulous ventilation and hasn’t ever been too hot during the summer or too cold during the winter. My dog is a very friendly four month old Rottweiler puppy. He is proofed around other dogs, cats, and children. I also frequently watch a 9 month old Rottweiler for a friend of mine. She is also proofed, and the most friendly, playful, and patient dog I have trained. I have the facilities to keep them apart upon request and they will never be left together unattended.
“My older one hesitant and one with separation anxiety, did well with Sherri. It was 4th of July and the fireworks made every one nervous. She was good about sending messages and photos of the girls to me every day. We where happy and will use her services again. ”
“There was very good communication from the beginning of the book till the end. I appreciated the updates with pictures of my dog. I would definitely rebook with Kimberly in the future. Service was 10/10.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Avery. She took wonderful care of our Great Dane, Hazel, while we were away. She is reliable, communicative, and caring and went above and beyond to make sure Hazel was happy and comfortable. She even sent us regular updates and pictures, which put our minds at ease. We highly recommend Avery to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.”
“Sarah was quick to respond to our initial inquiry and with every text that followed. For consideration, our 3 doggies are very friendly, do not resource guard, do not jump on people and are not chewers or destructive. We left them 36 hours during a family trip at Deception Pass. Sarah is a professional dog watcher; day care and overnight, with a fenced yard for the dogs to wander. We received multiple photos of our 3 doggies together and with other dogs who were in her care, indoors and out. Our pups had tails wagging when we arrived to pick them up. I would use Sarah again if I am in the area needing a safe, friendly place for our pups.”
“Morgan is the BEST! She was so sweet and accommodating and a great communicator. She also sends sweet photos and check in’s which is so nice. Book her for you doggy care needs!”
“Katie was a life saver after our kennel declined to take our dog who had stitches in his mouth. Because of this we were able to keep our vacation plans. Katie was also accommodating to the special needs of our dog (no playing or toys in the mouth due to stitches). Katie and her family took wonderful care of our baby and was very easy to work with, not to mention economical. Katie took extra time to take pictures and keep us updated on our pup.”
“Lenore took the absolute best care one could hope for of my German Shepherd, Maggie. Over the course of the weekend my plans changed, and Lenore was exceptionally flexible. I was able to enjoy my weekend away, completely assured that Maggie was in truly capable hands and cared for by a compassionate heart. Maggie and Lenore‘s dog Rook also got along famously. It’s not just a relief. I have finally found Maggie‘s home away from home.”
“Sheena took great care of our 4-month old puppy and 4-year old Moodle. We did a meet and greet and our nervous puppy liked her immediately. During our trip, we got pictures and updates whenever we asked for them as Sheena responded quickly. When we picked them up, we got a full report of everything they did with a wonderful update on eating, playing, pooping, etc. Sheena is very experienced and provided dog and child socialization for our puppy in a safe and structured environment. The pups came home tired, well-behaved, and very happy. As a bonus, we paid Sheena to do a little nail trimming since she is a professional groomer as well. Highly recommend Sheena and we will certainly be back!”
