“Debbie is wonderful! She took our dog on lots of walks and sent pictures and updates during his stay. Our dog looked relaxed and happy, which made us feel comfortable leaving him with her. We will definitely use Debbie again in the future.”
“This was my first time boarding my dog with Elaine and I would do it again. I was out of service for the 4 days that my pup stayed with her, but when i got back into service I saw that she sent photos of big stretches and him chilling with the other dogs each day. Elaine and her family were welcoming to my pup and I would recommend her as a sitter or boarding option for sure.”
“Moira is absolutely amazing—my dog Teddy compeltely ADORED her! She has a natural gift with dogs and made my anxious pup feel totally at ease (which is no small feat). She’s also a CHAMPION communicator, sending quick replies and the cutest updates that kept me smiling. Bonus: she’s not only affordable, but super flexible too, which made everything so easy. I swear my dog didn’t want to come back home… and honestly, I don’t blame him! Highly recommend 🐾✨”
“Emily and Eric are so great with my dogs. I'm very comfortable leaving my elderly pug and my very fearful rescue dog with them. They give me regular updates and send pics daily, as well as lots of feedback when I pick my girls up. So glad I found them. Highly recommended.”
“Larissa was the perfect person to take care of my dog. She sent me updates and photos throughout the entire time. I felt assured that my dog Mac was in good hands and at no point was worried. I’d happily leave my pup with Larissa again!”
“Shadie was very responsive to inquiries, and provided updates of my dogs stay, including a photo. Good back yard for dogs to run and parks nearby. My 3 yr old pup seemed to be happy, healthy and relaxed when I came to pick him up.”
“We've had Zoey stay with Jennifer and her family several times and they are so great with her! Zoey fits right in, and even as she's getting older they are happy to help her with what she needs. Highly recommend.”
“We can't say enough great things about Jared! He watched our girl Posie and we felt so relieved to leave her with such a capable sitter who attended to her needs so well and communicated clearly and quickly with us! He was super flexible with pick up and drop off times to accommodate our traveling schedule. Will certainly be booking again!”
“This is the second time our pup has stayed with Amy and her family and it was just as good as the first time! We love the updates and the pictures she sends. Amy is so kind and empathetic, we are so thankful for the thoughtful care she provides our pup!”
“Kathy was a wonderful dog sitter for our 12 year old springer, Lilly and our 8 month old labradoodle, Zoey. She sent pictures of them on walks, playing with toys and snuggling on the couch. She administered ear medication for Lilly and I felt like she treated our dogs like her own. As I was picking them up, Kathy said “I’m going to miss them”. We’ve already booked her for our next out of town trip!”
“Haleigh was such an accommodating host to my sweet girl roonie! She was so thoughtful and communicative and sent me so many cute photos of my girl while she was watching her! I would recommend Haleigh to anyone!!”
“We are so glad we found Leah and Chris! We needed to book on short notice. They offered to do a meet and greet to see if things would be a good fit and do a short stay before our long week of boarding. Our dogs loved staying with them! They sent so many pictures and it's clear that our dogs had a great time! Our dogs were so tired when we brought them home and having such a fun time with Leah and Chris. I feel confident and not anxious leaving our dogs with them for our trip. Highly recommend!”
“She did an exceptional job with Miso! This was his first time boarding with someone he didn’t already know, so we were a little nervous, but she made the whole experience so easy and reassuring. You can genuinely tell that she does this because she loves dogs. She sent us frequent updates and photos throughout his stay, was incredibly accommodating, and was just such a kind, easygoing person to work with. Most importantly, Miso seemed happy and well cared for. We had a great experience and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their dog. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again! ❤️”
“I had to have surgery and needed someone to watch my boy for a month. Maryorie was FANTASTIC! It was such a relief to know he was taken care of and gave me the grace to be able to focus on healing instead of worrying. I HIGHLY recommend her and will definitely use her again.”
“Hannah is a loving dog carer/sitter. I left my dog Blizzard with her for a week and she sent plenty of updates and photos. Blizzard was well cared for and had a great time in her in-laws’ giant yard too! I will definitely use her services again and highly recommend her!!!!’”
“So glad that I found Kristen! She has a great set up for both overnight and short term stays. Her back is lovely and very secure. My Archie loved rolling and running in the green grass and playing with the other dogs. Although Archie gets along with all sizes of dogs, its nice that Kristen only takes small dogs; which puts everyone on the same level when rough-housing. Kristen truly loves dogs. Its so nice to leave Archie with someone I can trust”

“Kayden was kind enough to help me out last minute when I had to travel. He was very polite and willing to help out with special the special needs of one of my dogs. I highly recommend Kayden.”
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats, both as a pet owner and as a trusted sitter for family and friends. I’ve personally owned high-drive, strong-willed breeds, so I understand the patience, consistency, exercise, and structure they need to thrive. I’ve also had cats my entire life and truly understand their unique personalities and needs. What sets me apart is that I don’t just care for pets—I take the time to understand each animal individually and treat them like they’re my own.
“Mark did an incredible job taking care of our elderly cat Gus for a 4 day house sit job. He was very attentive to Gus’s needs and helped him overcome superstition anxiety while we were away. I could not recommend Mark anymore!”
“Bond is never happy to have his regular staff away, but he seemed happy when we got home so Emily apparently was a good substitute! Emily had good communication and sent photos daily.”
“Mandi is the best! My cat had a little accident and she was quick to take care of it. I feel much better knowing Mandi is my go-to person to check in on my cat! She’s great!”
“Jocelyn takes excellent care of my cats, and I always feel confident they’re in good hands when I’m away. I truly appreciate the attention and affection she gives them.”
“Claire was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using rover and she walked me through the process and took such good care of my precious kitty. I’m so happy with the phenomenal care she provided. She went above and beyond on every visit!”
“Jennifer had my mind at ease while I was traveling. She communicated well and sent pictures every visit. I get nervous leaving my cats alone for too long, but I know they enjoyed her company and got comfortable with her very quickly. She even kept my garden watered and brought in my mail. Thank you Jennifer!”
About: I have experience looking after my neighbors cats while they were on vacation. I checked in on them and made sure they were comfortable at home. I cleaned out and refilled their feeding bowls. I followed my neighbors instructions on their feeding schedule and checked in multiple times a day.
About: I grew up with cats my entire life and adore feline companions. Because my partner has cat allergies, we don't have cats in our home right now—which means drop-in visits and house sits are where I get to share that love! I understand that cats set their own terms: I’m patient with shy kitties who need space, attentive to body language, and always ready for gentle chin scratches, feather-wand play, fresh water refills, and spotless litter box maintenance.
“Alura did a couple drop-in visits while I was out of town for the weekend. I think the cats enjoyed her care, and the water bowls looked nice and full when I got back which is always appreciated during a hot summer.”
“Sadie was so helpful making daily drop-ins on our cat, while we were away. She was gracious in having to clean up quite a few messes he made, she made sure his food, water, and litter box were kept fresh, and she spent some time with him each day to keep him from getting too lonely. She was very easy to communicate with during our trip. Thank you, Sadie for taking such good care of our kitty!”
“Rebecca checked in on time twice a day and took great care of Arlo. He likes to go outside on his leash and she sent me plenty of pics on their “walks.” Arlo loves his humans and I felt terrible leaving his at my mom’s house for three days but Rebecca was in touch with me all of the way and put me at ease. I highly recommend Rebecca!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I love keeping our labradoodle active by taking him to all of the local trails and parks! I am currently a full time pet sitter and dog walker, so your pet will get all of the love, attention, and activity they deserve! My husband and I have a very friendly labradoodle and Bernedoodle that get along well with other dogs, and they do a great job of keeping dog pals entertained and helping them feel welcome! I make sure the pups I'm caring for have frequent potty breaks, snuggles, playtime, and exercise!

“Elaine is great. I had to change my appointment a few times due to work and she was very understanding and flexible. She was able to set up a playdate and we came over and met her, her family and pets. Very communicative throughout the day. I have an elderly pup with bladder cancer and Elaine really cared for her and asked questions throughout the day. I highly recommend and will be using her again.”
“Larissa was an absolute lifesaver when I needed last-minute doggy daycare for Dryden for a couple of days. She was extremely accommodating on short notice and made the entire process completely stress-free. She kept me updated throughout the day with lots of photos, which gave me total peace of mind. Dryden became fast friends with her dog, Appa, right away. I think having Appa around really helped calm him down and made it super easy for him to get acclimated and feel right at home. He came back happy and well-cared-for, and I’ll definitely be reaching out to Larissa again in the future!”
“We had such a great first experience with Rover thanks to Shadie! She was extremely helpful and eased my mind with sending pictures and updates. My pup Kingsley had such a fun time, he was exhausted when he got home for the day. We will definitely book with Shadie again!”
“Debbie has watched Milo many times for me and I feel comfortable and confident every time I drop him off. She takes great care of him and every photo I get it looks like Milo is having a great time! Any and every time I'm in the Vancouver area I send Milo to her ❤️❤️”
“Maryorie was friendly and great with communication. It was my first rover experience and it was nice to get a picture update after drop off and report about how he did at the end of the day. I appreciate how she did a meet and greet before hand to ensure my dog and her dogs would get along and so that we could get to know her. Looking forward to booking with her again!”
“Dominique took great care of our two dogs, it was the the first time they had ever been left with somebody other than our family and they tend to be a bit needy so we were nervous to leave them but she was welcoming and patient and put us at ease. We booked another stay with her soon after.”
“Haleigh has sat Rocky on a few occasions now when I've been in town for work and can't take him into the office. Appreciate her responsiveness and I know my pup is in trusted hands!”
About: I’ve had dogs for nearly 30 years. I’ve cared for dogs in all stages of life from puppies to senior dogs. All of my dogs of aged and moved on so I have space in my home and my heart. I work almost exclusively from home so I can easily care for pets without interrupting my routine. Your pet won’t be left alone for much time at all. I have a fully fenced yard and a nice neighborhood for walking and can easily make sure your dog gets enough exercise and play time.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jared is exceptional. Jared took wonderful care of my two dogs, Sebastian and Francesca, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the moment we connected, his communication was clear, thoughtful, and reassuring. He was attentive to their needs, patient, and genuinely kind, exactly the kind of person you hope to find when trusting someone with your fur babies. Sebastian and Francesca were happy, calm, and clearly well cared for when I picked them up, which speaks volumes. It’s obvious Jared takes his role seriously and treats animals with real respect and care, not just as a job but as a responsibility. I would absolutely trust him again without hesitation and highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate, top-tier pet care. Thank you, Jared🌹you truly went above and beyond.”
About: I am a dog mom to a young Mini Aussie and Cavalier mix. I have raised her since she was 8 weeks. I also have experience puppy and dog sitting for my friends and neighbors dogs. This includes walks, feeding, playtime, medication, cleaning, and car rides. I have volunteered at local animal shelters to take dogs on neighborhood walks to enrich their day and to help them get adopted. I have taken dogs on hikes and are aware of walking safety and managing dog interactions. I have a flexible work schedule as I work from home. I can be available for a single walk per day or multiple drop in visits per day. Monday and Thursday 9:30am-11am are the only times I will not be available. I can be available to a limited amount of repeat visits per week. Please reach out regarding schedule and booking questions. I understand as a dog parent that sometimes you are needing immediate pet care. I am a reliable, generous and fun dog mom. I will be offering drop in visits, dog walking, and pet sitting from my own home. My home has a fenced outdoor space, open space downstairs and upstairs for dogs to play. I have a very social and friendly dog that gets along with every dog she meets. We have many blankets and you are welcome to bring over any of your dogs favorite beds and comfort toys. I always have kibble and dog treats and feeding bowls on hand. Please feel free to bring your own as well.
“Frances was so amazing she went above and beyond for us, she came and picked up Dolly to work with our schedules. She also took her on a walk and then later to the dog park. Just when I would wonder how they are doing she would shoot me a video or a picture to let me know how their day was going. I would 100% recommend Frances to friends and family who love their pets and need a reliable human to care for them. Francis next time we are in need you will be my 1st call!!!!!! Thank you so much! Side notes~Great communication, her home is lovely and clean.”
“April was great to work with. She had excellent communication throughout the day and was able to watch Daisy on short notice. Daisy seemed comfortable and well cared for. I would definitely recommend April to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
About: I've spent the last 14 years working in veterinary medicine, caring for pets through every stage of life—from energetic puppies to senior companions and pets with medical needs. I'm comfortable administering medications, monitoring pets with chronic health conditions, and recognizing when something doesn't seem quite right. What I enjoy most is getting to know each pet as an individual. Every animal has their own personality, routine, and little quirks, and I believe those details matter. My goal is to provide the same level of thoughtful, compassionate care I'd want for my own pets, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they're in capable hands. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide consistent care, plenty of attention, and regular updates throughout the day. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, enrichment activities, playtime, or simply having someone nearby for company, I'm happy to adjust my care to fit their routine. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any medical or behavioral needs before every booking. If your pet is staying in my home, they'll have plenty of opportunities for play, enrichment, rest, and affection in a calm environment. To help keep everyone safe—including my own two dogs—I currently only accept small dogs (up to 30 lbs) for boarding and daycare, and I require a meet-and-greet before every boarding stay. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I do my best to keep their daily routine as consistent as possible while respecting your home and following your instructions carefully.
“Tricia is such an amazing human! She was so patient and great with my quirky, anxious senior Shiba and even sang to him to calm him down. He was so relaxed in her home which helped us all greatly as we were nervous to introduce a new environment. Tricia is part of the pack now and we can't wait to re-book with her!”
About: I have availability 24/7 to care! Even as a kid, I’m the one who spent the most time with our pets! Will follow your example instructions just how you want! I’m currently not working, so I have all the time to take care of your pet. No schedule conflicts, so you don’t have to worry :) I have a small place, without much to do outside. But there’s a park less than 3 minutes away for walks. There are stairs to my place as I live on the second floor
“Danielle took my pup Dinah in for a last minute day care and was very friendly and the environment was very tidy and dog friendly. She did great with Dinah and my pup seemed so happy after pick up. I highly recommend! Thank you!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. As a stay at home mom, I have plenty of time to watch your loved ones while you’re away. We have an active but relaxed home. We currently have one extremely friendly, well socialized shepherd mix dog who gets along with every dog he meets. Over the years I’ve cared for friends’ and family’s dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. My kids love dogs and are able to let new dog friends acclimate without pestering. We walk the neighborhood every night and play in the backyard. I am a stay at home mom with elementary aged kids. Especially during the school year, I am almost always at home. My husband also works full time from home so there is always someone here to keep an eye on things. We have a great schedule in place for our dog in terms of potty breaks and feeding. We have a fully fenced back yard and a lovely neighborhood full of sidewalks to go on long evening walks. In our home, dogs are part of the family. They are allowed on the couch and sleep in our bedroom. Our dog has a nice schedule for feeding and going potty and he loves sunbathing on the back patio.
“Emily did great for a first meeting and walk with our pup. She can be slow to warm up and Emily was patient and very honest and communicative with how the visit went. Appreciate the extra step of cleaning up a mess our kitties made that wasn’t on the bill!”

“Lexi appeared earlr and is very responsible. My dog has taken to her and enjoys going out with her. Their walks are productive and Lexi even runs Lucy for part of the walk.”
“Jessica did a great job with Toby! We really appreciated her taking the time to come meet him first and make sure he was comfortable. The walk went great and we appreciate the cute pictures!”
“YAY! So grateful I found Elaine. I twisted my ankle and she was there helping me every day for 7 days so that I could rest. Her energy, kindness, flexibility, communication, and love of animals is so evident. I would let Elaine take care of all of my animals at any moment. I will absolutely have her walk Ginger again. And also boarding!”
“I am so very pleased with my experience using Ching for the first time to walk my 2 small dogs while I was at a convention. She was very responsive, sent me photos and updates, even letting me know that one of my dogs who has had previous leg surgery was not up to a full walk, so she carried her for a bit. I really appreciated the peace of mind knowing that my pups were happy and well looked after while I couldn’t be home. Thank you!!”
“Steele is great at communicating! My dog warmed up to him so quickly. I have a hectic work schedule and he has been so kind about being flexible to make it over for a walk/potty break.”
“Cassie, is amazing! Our dog gets soooo excited to see her when she comes. She has been so flexible and adaptive to our dogs needs. I know she is in good hands when we are away!!!”

About: I’m a lifelong pet parent who has never lived without a furry companion by my side. My hands-on experience includes raising puppies, establishing reliable house routines, and navigating specific training and behavioral needs with my own dogs. I continuously invest time in reading training literature and attending webinars to ensure I use patient, positive-reinforcement techniques. You can count on me to respect your existing training cues, keep your pup physically and mentally engaged, and deliver detailed daily check-ins for complete peace of mind. I work from home with full control over my work calendar, allowing me to provide frequent potty breaks, active walks, and dedicated companionship all day. I mirror your pet's familiar routines in your home, providing structured leashed walks, timely feeding, clean spaces, and loving companionship while keeping your home secure.
About: Hello! I have grown up with animals (dogs, cats, & more) and am currently a paw-rent to an Australian shepherd/cattle dog mix & an orange tabby cat. Our rescue pup came with some pretty severe reactivity issues that we continuously spend time working on and training. This challenge has made me learn and grow so much as a pet parent and in turn, a pet sitter! I am always the designated pet-sitter for friends and family, and I love it! Outside of my own, I have had experience with lazy and chill animals, as well as reactive and/or hyper. I myself love the outdoors and would be happy to bring your fur baby on walks or hikes, short or long. I am also available for long term care and/or home visits. I am comfortable with all sizes and personalities, and have experience with senior (cat) care, and administering oral medication (dog & cat). I am here for you and your pets needs, whatever they may be! I am currently available every day of the week to meet your and your pets needs! I prefer weekdays in the mornings/afternoons before 5pm but am flexible would be happy to work out anything that would fit your schedule best! Your pets safety is my top priority! Whether I am sitting in your home or just out on a walk or hike, they will be protected.
About: I have owned dogs and cats since for almost 15 years. I also grew up with cats and dogs in our family home. My family currently has a 2 year old Golden Retriever named Lily and 2 cats named Dobby and Luna (can you tell we’re Harry Potter fans? 😉). Before our Golden Retriever, we had a Staffordshire Terrier mix named Maggie. We had her for 8 years - she died unexpectedly in August 2021. While we had Maggie we also had 2 cats named Oscar and Felix. My husband and I moved in together in July 2009 and since then we have never not owned at least 1 animal at any given time. We are obviously an animal-loving family! I have always loved dogs and their unconditional love and companionship. They’ll never judge or ridicule, just love you. In addition to our dog and 2 cats we have 2 human children - our son Jaxson is 8 and our daughter Addie is 5. My husband is a plumber and I have been a stay at home mom for 5+ years now. My son will be in 3rd grade in the Fall and my daughter is starting kindergarten. Thus, I will have more free time during the day now to help with your beautiful and lovable pets! I’m currently a full-time stay at home parent but my youngest child will be starting kindergarten in September, so I will have lots more time to play with your pups and take them for walks, or even provide doggy daycare at my home. I can also provide drop-in visits for cats. I can also provide house-sitting but only primarily on the weekends. I will primarily be available Monday-Friday from 8:30am-2:30pm but I could also do evenings and weekends depending on my kids’ activities schedules. For doggy daycare services, have a fully fenced yard and a very friendly and non-aggressive Golden Retriever who loves playing with other dogs. We also have a large soft crate if your dog needs to be crated if I need to leave the house for awhile. For dog-walking, drop-ins, and house-sitting I will treat your home with the utmost respect and follow any and all rules and procedures of your home. I want you to feel secure and comfortable at all times with me being in your home and taking care of your beloved pets.
About: I’ve worked with a wide variety of animals, including cats, dogs, horses, rabbits, mice, fish, land crabs, amphibians (aqua/land), guinea pigs, and more. I’m comfortable handling pets of all sizes, personalities, and temperaments—whether they’re energetic, calm, reactive, nervous, or affectionate. I’m skilled at reading animal behavior, staying calm in challenging situations, and adapting to each animal’s individual needs. My priority is always to create a safe, comfortable environment where every animal feels secure, respected, and well cared for. Sorry for the lack of photos, I usually stay present with the animals! While I do clean up while I’m over at your house, i also offer housekeeping for extra. If you need! Pet care fits easily into my schedule because I’m able to plan my day around visits, feedings, walks, medication administration, and check-ins. I’m organized, reliable, and understand the importance of consistency in an animal’s routine. Whether a pet needs early morning care, midday attention, evening visits, or overnight stays, I communicate clearly about my availability and ensure I can fully commit to the care schedule before accepting a booking. I treat every pet as a priority and make sure they receive the time, attention, and care they need. I provide attentive, low-stress care whether pets stay in my home or I care for them in theirs. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of opportunities to play, explore, and relax. I maintain consistent routines for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and any special care needs to help them feel settled and secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible, providing companionship, exercise, supervision, and personalized attention while respecting household rules and preferences. I’m comfortable working with pets of all sizes, ages, energy levels, and temperaments, and I focus on creating a positive experience where every animal feels safe, understood, and well cared for.
“Alura was thankfully and very gratefully able to fit my baby girl into her schedule immediately. While my pup was a little skiddish at first, she warmed up to Alura and was able to go on her walks while I was recovering.”
About: I have taken care of cats since I was young and for the past three years, I’ve taken care of my own puppy. I love all animals, providing for their needs, and giving them the love and attention they deserve. When I take care of them, I provide lots of photos and details of what went on during the visit to keep you updated. Your pets are safe with me! My schedule is currently very open, so I have plenty of room in my schedule to care for your fur baby and provide for their needs. If needed, I can crate your dog or keep them in a pen, whichever situation you have. I’m meticulous about making sure that there is nothing around that could harm your pet and I keep a vigilant eye.
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs, including my own. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, provide lots of love and attention, and keep them happy and safe while you’re away.

“Shadie was very responsive to inquiries, and provided updates of my dogs stay, including a photo. Good back yard for dogs to run and parks nearby. My 3 yr old pup seemed to be happy, healthy and relaxed when I came to pick him up.”
“We can't say enough great things about Jared! He watched our girl Posie and we felt so relieved to leave her with such a capable sitter who attended to her needs so well and communicated clearly and quickly with us! He was super flexible with pick up and drop off times to accommodate our traveling schedule. Will certainly be booking again!”
“Kathy was a wonderful dog sitter for our 12 year old springer, Lilly and our 8 month old labradoodle, Zoey. She sent pictures of them on walks, playing with toys and snuggling on the couch. She administered ear medication for Lilly and I felt like she treated our dogs like her own. As I was picking them up, Kathy said “I’m going to miss them”. We’ve already booked her for our next out of town trip!”
“We are so glad we found Leah and Chris! We needed to book on short notice. They offered to do a meet and greet to see if things would be a good fit and do a short stay before our long week of boarding. Our dogs loved staying with them! They sent so many pictures and it's clear that our dogs had a great time! Our dogs were so tired when we brought them home and having such a fun time with Leah and Chris. I feel confident and not anxious leaving our dogs with them for our trip. Highly recommend!”
“She did an exceptional job with Miso! This was his first time boarding with someone he didn’t already know, so we were a little nervous, but she made the whole experience so easy and reassuring. You can genuinely tell that she does this because she loves dogs. She sent us frequent updates and photos throughout his stay, was incredibly accommodating, and was just such a kind, easygoing person to work with. Most importantly, Miso seemed happy and well cared for. We had a great experience and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their dog. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again! ❤️”
“I had to have surgery and needed someone to watch my boy for a month. Maryorie was FANTASTIC! It was such a relief to know he was taken care of and gave me the grace to be able to focus on healing instead of worrying. I HIGHLY recommend her and will definitely use her again.”
“Hannah is a loving dog carer/sitter. I left my dog Blizzard with her for a week and she sent plenty of updates and photos. Blizzard was well cared for and had a great time in her in-laws’ giant yard too! I will definitely use her services again and highly recommend her!!!!’”
“Steve loved his stay with Erica and Elohim! They’re very friendly and communicative. I was hoping for a sitter without other dogs because my guy can be a little reactive as he gets older. I appreciated the updates and photos each day. We’ll definitely look to book again when I’m out of town nexxt and highly recommend!”
“Otis had another great stay with Dominique. Dominique has the experience and confidence to make drop off and pick up go very smoothly. She sent a daily update with several photos so we could see Otis was having a good time and was well cared for. Otis seemed to feel right at home while he was there. We will surely have Otis stay with Dominique again.”
“Barry was a wonderful dog-sitter--he sent photos of my dog on walks and chilling in the house. I felt confident that Ripley was cared for and I could focus on my out of town activities. It's a bonus that Barry's own dog could also keep my dog company. I would re-book again!”
“Lisa sent us pictures and updates while she cared for our pups which was really comforting . One of our dogs is very old and we were a little concerned about him. But he did great. Lisa clearly took good care of both of them as they were happy and healthy when I picked them up.She didn't bat an eye when I brought over special food. We will always call on Lisa when we go out of town!”
“Jared was fantastic! He sent daily updates with photos and videos, and our pup was so comfortable with him. You can definitely trust your fur-babies to be well taken care of”
“Chloe had a wonderful time at Steve's during our weekend trip away! It was really helpful to have a meet-and-greet with Steve before booking the first time. Steve made me feel comfortable knowing Chloe would be well taken care of during our trip. I loved all the photos of Chloe having a good time - it gave us peace of mind while we were away. It's easy to tell Steve truly cares about the pets in his care, which is so reassuring when you're leaving your furbaby with someone new. We will book Steve again for our next trip!”
