“Our young dog has a great time with Charmaine and her crew of pups. She is flexible, easy to communicate with, sent photos and checked in each day (when we left her overnight), and even gave our dog a quick bath before we picked her up.”
“Sitter was super nice, place is super clean and has a backyard for dogs to play. She took great care of my dog he seemed happy in all the pics and when I picked him up. I’m glad to find a sitter I trust!”
“Kathryn and Mark provided wonderful care for our two dogs while we were away for a week traveling. They followed all care instructions diligently and reached out to us with any questions, provided lots of great updates and pictures, and it was clear the dogs were very happy and comfortable. We will definitely be repeat clients!”
“Nathan was an awesome Rover. He was easy to communicate and flexible for drop off and pick up. Hazel enjoyed her visit! Nathan provided great updates and photos that showed Hazel having a great time. Would highly recommend.”
“Sheena was fantastic! Finnbar stayed with her for over a month and seemed incredibly happy and comfortable there. She has a bulldog of her own, which made it feel like an especially good fit for him. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands while we were away. I would absolutely trust Sheena with Finnbar again. :::”
“Lauren was amazing and provided a great environment for Riker to play, rest, and be comfortable. I received regular updates, photos and felt comfortable that my little guy was in good hands. Lauren was also flexible and worked with my flight schedule on return. I look forward to my next trip when I can book with Laruen & Ryan again!”
“Sunny had the best time with Tenzin and his family. We got so many updates and it looks like he went on lots of walks and got lots of walks. Would highly recommend!”
“Ali was able to book me on short notice after other plans fell through. She was very responsive and my pup had a wonderful time with her and her family. I'd book with her again.”
“If I could give more stars we would. Kelly and Karen did a meet and greet with us and Ollie. You could tell right away that they are experienced and have a manner that dogs would be happy and comfortable with. Our dog doesn’t usually like other dogs other than our daughters’ dogs and Ollie was like a different dog! He was actually friendly with their dog. Kelly and Karen are true dog whisperers! We were beyond thrilled with their love of care our needy dog. They were the best and I would shout out to anyone to pick them! They had regular communication and pics for us. We will for sure be using them again!”
“He was so kind and took wonderful care of my dog! Made sure everything was talked through before I left him overnight, I had no doubt my dog was going to be taken good care of.”
“Rose was an excellent dog-sitter for Pizca! She was communicative and active. She kept us updated of how things were going and too Pizca on multiple walk and even a hike!”
“Lorena was great. This was Tuesday's first time staying with someone new and it worked out really well. Lorena and her family made her feel comfortable. Lorena was very responsive, flexible and understanding!”
“Mason was so great to work with. He was accommodating and professional and has a great place for boarding, including a fully fenced grassy yard. He has experience training dogs and seems to enjoy having dogs around and spends time with them. My mopey sleepy English bulldog found his puppy energy again while staying with Mason and his lovely dog Apollo. Highly recommend.”
“I have been using Rover for years now, and I can confidently say that Maiko is the BEST Rover dog sitter I've ever had and I will try every time to secure a stay with her for my mini bernedoodle, Trixie, in the future. Maiko only sits for one dog at a time, is a dog lover and former dog owner herself (who sadly lost her own pup about a year ago), a near-professional photographer who sent us the best photos of Trixie we have ever had(!), and her two young children adored and were so good with Trixie as well. Maiko is superb all-around, with communicating (asked us of her own volition how Trixie handled fireworks, as she watched Trixie over 7/4 holiday), with caring (Trixie so obviously grew so fond of Maiko and her family, with photos of her nestling against them all!). Trixie came home to us in great spirits, relaxed and happy, which has not been our experience often in the past with Rovers who watch multiple dogs at a time. Maiko is the BEST!”
“Dror and Moranne are incredible. So accommodating and you can tell they are caring of animals right when you meet them. You will feel comfortable knowing your pet is in great hands!!! Thank you both!”
“Wow Alexa and her family go above and beyond in making sure your fur baby is well taken care of, and that you are thoroughly communicated with every step of the way. Truly, she is an exceptional sitter, and Stella came home well-rested, comfortable, and anxiety free (rare for her!!!). Expectations entirely exceeded!! Thank you!!”
“Very happy with Caitie's care for our girl, Ginger. Received updates and pictures which put my mind at ease during our trip. I was happy to know that Ginger was in good hands and having a wonderful time. Came home to a VERY tired, well taken care of, pup. Will not hesitate to book Caitie again in the future.”
“Talia was wonderful with my nervous little guy and very understanding of how to manage his anxieties. He was definitely also put more at ease by having sweet Miss Cedar as a buddy and mentor. I was very grateful for the updates, quick communication, and knowing he was in very capable hands. I’d love to be able to board Xavi with Talia again in the future!”

“Joyce took great care of our two cats and sent detailed information about her visits with them. They clearly both felt very comfortable with her. She's our top pick for the future!”
“Ana took great care of our cat while we were out of town for several weeks, completing multiple drop-in visits and overnight stays in our home. Ana was very responsible and communicative and sent us lots of pictures. She spent lots of time playing and snuggling with our kitty, who quickly grew attached to her. We would absolutely use Ana again in the future!”
“This is our 2nd time booking Emily and she’s been so great! She’s communicative, dependable, and super friendly. We always feel like our cats are in great hands with her!”
“Sara took amazing care of our cats! She kept me updated with messages and photos every visit, and our cats looked happy and relaxed the whole time. Communication was super easy and friendly. I’d happily book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Deseriee did a fantastic job of watching my cat! She followed all of the instructions, played with him, and sent really great photos. I was relaxed knowing he was in good hands.”
“Just the sweetest person and so good with our babies. Also, quite the photographer I might add. She sent me quite a few good shots of my boys that will now be my phone background. 100% would recommend Qian.”
“Minerva did an amazing job taking care of Luna! She was very responsive and provided such fun and detailed updates and photos during her check-ins. Luna seemed very happy and received lots of attention and cuddles from Minerva.”
About: I’ve been fostering and caring for cats since I was in first grade, giving me lifelong hands on experience with animals. I also worked at a doggy daycare for 3 and a half years, where I developed a strong understanding of animal behavior, group dynamics, and body language. I had a dog of my own, previously worked at a veterinary clinic, and currently work part-time as a veterinary assistant at an animal shelter. I am currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to spend time and give lots of love to your puppies! I’m available during the weekday after 1 o’clock and then anytime on the weekends I offer dog walking and daytime care, with plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. In a client’s home, I’ll keep their pet’s routine as consistent as possible, follow their normal feeding and walking schedule, and give them plenty of patience and reassurance so they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I live in a first floor apartment with easy outdoor access for regular walks and potty breaks. I don’t currently have any pets, so I can provide a calm, pet free environment for dogs to stay. I’m also happy to accommodate crates or anything else that helps a puppy or dog feel secure.
About: Ive taken care of a variety of pets throughout my life. Often I have watched pets for friends and family, mostly dogs and a few cats. Ive owned exotic pets myself so I'm comfortable watching those too if need be. I'm currently on the hunt for a job and I need to earn some money in the meantime, so why not do that with one of things I love most- animals! I have lots of freetime, but I'd rather not start too early or go too late if possible. I have a pretty roomy apartment with two roommates who are all for having pets visit as we don't have any of our own. The neighborhoods near me are perfect for walks! If I'm at your place just tell me what I need to do and I'll do it. Feel free to leave me a list of anything you can think of!
“Rebecca was absolutely wonderful with our 4-month-old German Shepherd puppy! She is incredibly caring and detail-oriented, which gave us total peace of mind. It was clear our pup loved her by the end of the stay. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking her again!”
“Tanja was amazing with my kitten. She took time to make sure she listened to all of Neri's tales, gave her tons of love and attention and had fantastic communication with me. Would highly recommend Tanja and hope if the need arises that I can utilize her services in the future!”
About: I grew up on a farm with many cats, both indoor and outdoor, so I've dealt with a variety of temperaments and behaviors. I have two chill senior cats right now. One I've had since a kitten. I'm good with respecting boundaries and will cuddle and play as much as they want once they warm up to me.
“Lorren did a fantastic job taking care of our four cats for a week. She was super easy going and rode out the ice storm just fine, adjusting her plans to prioritize being with our kitties. She also handled our older cat’s medication needs and accidents no problem, and sent us nice updates and photos every day. Would definitely hire again!”
“Liza is amazing! She’s taken care of my cat Phoebe a few times while I’ve been out of town. Phoebe loves her, and I know Phoebe is in great hands. Liza also picked up some packages for me that were delivered when I was gone, which was very helpful. I will definitely book Liza again.”
“We are repeat customers of Danielle's. She is wonderful with our cats. We have a really shy cat and Danielle is probably the only person she feels safe with apart from us-- which is a testament to how wonderful and gentle Danielle. She also always leaves our house neat and tidy. We so appreciate her!”
“David did a great job taking care of our cat, Millie, while we were on vacation for a week. He and Millie got along very well and they enjoyed their time together. He also took great of our home while we were away. David came to our house twice a day for an hour per visit. During each visit, he made sure she had a clean letterbox, was well fed, and that there was plenty of time for play. I really appreciated the photos, videos, and notes he left in the report card after each visit. I would highly recommend David. He genuinely loves all animals and enjoys spending time with them. He will take great care of your furry friend.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Bitter Lake
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
“Winnie is the most accommodating, doting, flexible, and overall wonderful dogsitter! She's attentive to my dog's needs, as my dog is very energetic! She is really good about following the routine that my dog is accustomed to and send lots of pictures throughout the day. Safe to say, my dog had a fantastic day with Winnie and I will most definitely book with her again!”
About: A life time around dogs turns into exceptional pet care. Growing up, my family always had a furry companion so I believe a happy home is complete with tail wagging. I work remote every day of the week except Wednesdays when I am gone from 7A-5P, while my partner is a caretaker and is home every day, so your furry friend is always in good company. Important hours 🦴 We are flexible and do our best to accommodate your schedule, if there’s a barrier we will communicate so. App communication hours are set to 9 AM–9 PM. Safety is a priority, our home is equipped with gates to keep pets away from the front door and stairs while they’re allowed to free roam the main floor. Your pal will enjoy a fully fenced yard of a split level, hardwood home with both grassy and paved areas, offering a variety of surfaces for play. Along with shaded trees and garden beds that provide plenty of natural scents to keep curious noses engaged to sniff and explore during supervised outdoor time.
About: I grew up on a farm with all sorts of animals, so I love being around them and can handle a wide range of behaviors and temperaments appropriately. I currently have two dogs; both are 7 years old, and I got them when they were 8 weeks old. One is a German Shepherd/Husky, the other is a deaf Border Collie/Aussie mix. I have gone through positive reinforcement training classes with both of them at Ahimsa (highly recommend). Most of the time we chill at home. We also hike, backpack, and road trip often — I've been all over the country with my dogs! I travel often and am incredibly selective about who cares for my animals, so I am happy to accommodate requests that put you and your pet at ease while you're away. I also have two senior cats. My house is much calmer than most expect, but it is just as full of fur as most expect! Everyone gets along, and we have space to accommodate other friendly furry friends! I'm taking a break from my full-time career, which allows me a lot of availability at the moment. I do have some evening commitments; otherwise, I'm often at home. I am aiming to be back working full-time in January or February. When that happens, my weekday availability will likely be reduced. I live in a larger 3-bedroom townhome with a small patio area that my dogs use to go to the bathroom. I'm comfortable taking well-trained dogs on walks or to the dog park. If they're not good on a leash, I'm still glad to board them, I'll just have them use the patio. Both of my dogs are friendly and very chill. I can accommodate crates and gates (I have one baby gate and one medium crate, if needed). My cats stick to themselves and ignore the dogs. I am comfortable working with medications, special dietary needs, and pets of all ages. I live very close to a 24hr emergency vet (Timberline, they're great). If you have any other accommodations or concerns, please ask and I'll see if I'll be able to work it out :)
“Mana kept us updated for our first doggie care experience. Our pug came home happy and relaxed! We appreciate Mana’s professional demeanor and help as we navigate leaving our fur baby on travel.”
“Julianne made an effort to help Wren feel comfortable and accommodate her with her toys and treats. It didn't take long before I got a photo with her curled up on the couch with Julianne.”
“Our dog Kiki loved her time with Cathleen! I really appreciated the many pictures and status updates throughout the day, especially because this was Kiki's first daycare experience. Kiki will be looking forward to going back!”
“Sheena took great care of my guy. She gave a report card with updated walks and activities. She was professional and knew how to work with a large breed dogs. She asked good questions and was attentive to his needs. Would use again!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have cared for dogs, cats, and even bunny rabbits. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from small to large breeds. I’ve spent a lot of time around my family’s German Shepherd, which has given me plenty of hands on experience and confidence around high energy breeds. I currently have two cats of my own, so I’m also very familiar with caring for cats and all their different personalities and quirks! I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether that means going for walks, playing, keeping them mentally stimulated, or simply keeping them company while their family is away, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pets routine! I recently moved to the Seattle area and currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention! I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and accommodate specific scheduling needs. For doggy daycare, my property is fully fenced, including the front yard, so there’s an extra layer of security if pets are outside. I also have two cats who mostly keep to themselves and enjoy doing their own thing. If I’m doing drop-in visits or dog walking, I’ll treat your home like I would my own and make sure to leave it just as clean, if not cleaner, than I found it. I’m also more than happy to send photos and updates while you’re away so you know your pet is well taken care of! :-)
“Stephanie is a very communicative and reliable sitter. My dog, Eleven, is very anxious, and Stephanie has spent the time/energy to make Eleven feel more comfortable. I love the picture and video updates that Stephanie sends, because I can see that she is spending quality time with Eleven throughout the day. Eleven is always excited to see Stephanie which makes me very happy.”
“Lily had a great time at daycare with Lindsay and Steven! They have a lovely house with a yard for the dogs to play, and I could tell they gave great attention to lily all day.”
“Chau was an awesome dog sitter! She took us super last min, and made sure my pup got great care. Got photos and updates through the visit which I appreciated.”
“My senior dog Oliver was new to staying with Caitie and Sean and their pup Baker. He was a little nervous the first day but each subsequent day I was pleased to see him returning home relaxed and seemingly content. Thanks Caitie and Sean!”
“We booked Felix on short notice for evening daycare, and he was very thoughtful in assessing whether our dog would be a good fit for his setup. We really appreciated the detailed updates and feedback throughout the stay. Felix has a strong understanding of dog behavior and group dynamics, which gave us peace of mind, and our somewhat nervous dog seemed to fit right in with his pack. Thanks Felix!”
“Always a good day with Carmen! A full day at a dog daycare feels like sensory overload for my busy puppy. A full day of care with Carmen feels like Georgia is at a friends house with one on one care. Tons of updates and she comes home tired and happy.”

About: I am new to dog walking, but I have two Pomeranians, one who barks at dogs and one who has some stranger reactivity. Before them, I had a geriatric pom who loved nothing more than wandering around for a couple of hours and getting all the smells. I recently got laid off and am looking for ways to get out of the house while looking for a new job. I love going for walks, especially on sunny fall days, and I love all dogs. I also have a special place in my heart for old dogs who need slow walks and lots of sniffs. I am currently unemployed and have lots of time to give cuddles and walks. I usually spend my afternoons applying for jobs, but my schedule can be flexible during a typical work day. I have a fenced yard and two Pomeranians who are not aggressive, but can be barky. My dogs sleep on the bed, are fully allowed on furniture, and get lots of snacks, walks, and cuddles.
“We love Jenifer, especially our dog. She starts whining at the door about ten minutes before walk time because she knows what time it is and loves her walks with Jenifer so much. Thank you Jenifer!”
“Greyson absolutely adores Finn. She treats him so well and they have a special bond. We have completely trust and confidence that he will have an amazing, enjoyable walk.”
About: 10+ years of experience caring for rescue, older and anxious pups. I love making pups and their parents happy. I am very patient and provide compassionate, individualized care to animals. I am responsive and reliable and truly love caring for animals. I live in a large 2 bedroom apartment with my golden retriever Bhodi who loves friends to play with and we have a fully fenced shared yard for them to use and go on many walks and adventures daily. Also available for drop ins and walks. I work from home 3 of 5 days a week and never leave my pup home for long even on my 2 in office days. I live in apartment with a shared fully fenced yard and close to many trails and dog parks. I take pups out on several walks daily and make sure they have ample water, food, treats and love at all times.

“Tanja is reliable, kind, and compassionate. She helped us with our two senior pups and two cats and took the time to learn about our pets and take great of them. Thank you so much and we will call Tanja in the future for help.”
“Kendra walks my two older dogs four days a week, every week. Genuinely cares about my dogs which is fairly clear in the messages about their behavior and any issues I should be aware of. Takes note of the changes in their activity level, bathroom, and overall behavior, which are all good to note for their general well being. She’s cares about them to know what their normal is, which means a lot.”
About: I've had dogs for my entire life - big, medium, and small, and usually more than one at a time, and I love them! I also used to groom dogs professionally, so I know how to take care of them and keep them happy even when they're stressed. I worked with and trained with horses for over a decade too, which means I'm comfortable working with dogs of just about every size. I also have some experience training dogs and some training in emergency first aid for animals. I work a full time job but I have my own vehicle and a flexible schedule so I have a lot of availability. I can run with your dog, take them to a park, whatever you or they need.

My school cooperates with most of the large multinational companies in the area. I also cooperate quite closely with the local and state police departments as well as the mayor and city council all of whom are my students. While I will be house-sitting for you I will be managing my private Language School online. I will always have time to take care of the homes that I sit for as well as the pets regular routine. I always try my best to maintain the same pet schedule. 1st of all I LOVE ANIMALS! Our home in Slovakia is located up on the hill in the woods overlooking the lake. We have a large orchard and our nearest neighbor is about 300 m from us. We currently have 7 cats in various phases of either living, hanging out, or adding us to their busy social/feeding routine. During the Summer I take care of 2 friends' homes so I take care of their dogs, cats, fish, and even a very old turtle. as well. I travel to the U.S. regularly to visit friends/family each and this website is a perfect fit for my lifestyle as I manage my school remotely. To be quite honest, for all of the travelling I have done over the past 30 years, I have not travelled nor experienced the U.S. much which is another reason I have joined this website. I thought it would be a great way to see the U.S. as well as spend time with lots of great pets! I could take you anywhere you wanted on the Budapest metro blindfolded but have never been to Washington D.C. for example. Please feel free to contact me so we can speak in person about your pets, home and your requirements.
About: I've owned dog all my life and have done lots to help raise and take care of them, especially in the last few years I have taken on more responsibilities and for the last three months I worked with a dog training facility and taught classes for puppy training, obedience, and agility training! I even now have a cat that is my entire child and I work with dogs on the daily. After my job shut down unexpectedly, I have all the time in the world and I never mind a long drive! I can do anything from taking your dog on a walk or hike, to staying overnight taking care and doing some training with your pets. The only thing I can't do is take them into my apartment. I have lots of experience caring and working with other people's pets, I am good at listening to instructions and will never step out of your boundaries on purpose. I love to spend a day relaxing and playing with my dog at home and making sure they get the enrichment and affection at the end of each day.

“My girls love Amanda! I have two active dogs who are relatively new to leash walking and apartment life. They immediately loved her in the meet and greet, and I fully trust her to take great care of them. ☺️”
“Lizzy had a great meet and greet followed by 4 days of great walks with Andrew. Lots of pictures and different routes. I've already hired Andrew again for another trip I have.”
About: I’m a grad student at UW studying biology. I love animals and have always taken care of them since I was little! I grew up with four cats and currently have one cat of my own (a sweet black kitty named Gizmo). I have been cat sitting, dog sitting, and dog walking for neighbors and friends since I was a little kid. I would be honored to sit your cats and dogs! My schedule is flexible and I am able to work from home around half the day each day. My husband is also able to work fully remote. Because our schedules are flexible, we can be sure to schedule our day around your pet. We have a house with a small fenced in yard for pups to run around in, and live close to a bigger park! We also love daily walks for ourselves and any furry friends who are with us!
About: Hey there! I love dogs always have always will. I have had 3 dogs myself and grew up with many others. I love to train and meet new dogs and have completed a few training sessions with the Tampa Humane Society where I found my older dog Donny . First dog park trip is 9 AM everyday, Second is at 12 noon. I go to shoreview off leash, near Shoreline CC. Perfect place to interact with other dogs or go walk the many trails behind the park. Please let me know of any special requirements for your furry friend and I can 100% accommodate. Just ask and I will supply pictures, videos and updates.
“Nikki has bee such a great partner and caregiver to our new puppy. She super attentive and flexible with shifting schedules. She's given great updates on the walks and I really feel supported. She's easy to communicate with as well. Couldn't recommend her enough!”
“John helped us with walking our Dachshund, Cody, daily for the past week. He was amazing—I will definitely work with him in the future and recommend him 100%. He was willing to come do a meet and greet and was so good with Cody. He is very attentive to Cody’s needs. He also sends detailed updates after each walk that I really appreciate. And took lots of cute pictures of Cody for us! Very reliable and above and beyond care.”

“Kathryn and Mark provided wonderful care for our two dogs while we were away for a week traveling. They followed all care instructions diligently and reached out to us with any questions, provided lots of great updates and pictures, and it was clear the dogs were very happy and comfortable. We will definitely be repeat clients!”
“Nathan was an awesome Rover. He was easy to communicate and flexible for drop off and pick up. Hazel enjoyed her visit! Nathan provided great updates and photos that showed Hazel having a great time. Would highly recommend.”
“Sheena was fantastic! Finnbar stayed with her for over a month and seemed incredibly happy and comfortable there. She has a bulldog of her own, which made it feel like an especially good fit for him. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands while we were away. I would absolutely trust Sheena with Finnbar again. :::”
“Lauren was amazing and provided a great environment for Riker to play, rest, and be comfortable. I received regular updates, photos and felt comfortable that my little guy was in good hands. Lauren was also flexible and worked with my flight schedule on return. I look forward to my next trip when I can book with Laruen & Ryan again!”
“Ali was able to book me on short notice after other plans fell through. She was very responsive and my pup had a wonderful time with her and her family. I'd book with her again.”
“He was so kind and took wonderful care of my dog! Made sure everything was talked through before I left him overnight, I had no doubt my dog was going to be taken good care of.”
“Rose was an excellent dog-sitter for Pizca! She was communicative and active. She kept us updated of how things were going and too Pizca on multiple walk and even a hike!”
“Mason was so great to work with. He was accommodating and professional and has a great place for boarding, including a fully fenced grassy yard. He has experience training dogs and seems to enjoy having dogs around and spends time with them. My mopey sleepy English bulldog found his puppy energy again while staying with Mason and his lovely dog Apollo. Highly recommend.”
“I have been using Rover for years now, and I can confidently say that Maiko is the BEST Rover dog sitter I've ever had and I will try every time to secure a stay with her for my mini bernedoodle, Trixie, in the future. Maiko only sits for one dog at a time, is a dog lover and former dog owner herself (who sadly lost her own pup about a year ago), a near-professional photographer who sent us the best photos of Trixie we have ever had(!), and her two young children adored and were so good with Trixie as well. Maiko is superb all-around, with communicating (asked us of her own volition how Trixie handled fireworks, as she watched Trixie over 7/4 holiday), with caring (Trixie so obviously grew so fond of Maiko and her family, with photos of her nestling against them all!). Trixie came home to us in great spirits, relaxed and happy, which has not been our experience often in the past with Rovers who watch multiple dogs at a time. Maiko is the BEST!”
“Wow Alexa and her family go above and beyond in making sure your fur baby is well taken care of, and that you are thoroughly communicated with every step of the way. Truly, she is an exceptional sitter, and Stella came home well-rested, comfortable, and anxiety free (rare for her!!!). Expectations entirely exceeded!! Thank you!!”
“Very happy with Caitie's care for our girl, Ginger. Received updates and pictures which put my mind at ease during our trip. I was happy to know that Ginger was in good hands and having a wonderful time. Came home to a VERY tired, well taken care of, pup. Will not hesitate to book Caitie again in the future.”
“Talia was wonderful with my nervous little guy and very understanding of how to manage his anxieties. He was definitely also put more at ease by having sweet Miss Cedar as a buddy and mentor. I was very grateful for the updates, quick communication, and knowing he was in very capable hands. I’d love to be able to board Xavi with Talia again in the future!”
“Beth is amazing! We feel so comfortable and confident having her watch our two Aussies. This past week we had Beth watch both of our Aussies at the same time, and it went great. We received regular updates, photos and videos, and reassurance that things were going smoothly. The girls looked like they were having so much fun, it’s so nice to see them be in great hands together. We were nervous to have someone watch them both at the same time since we usually get separate rovers for them since they can be a handful and have different needs but we felt confident trying it out with Beth and we were so glad we did. We couldn’t recommend Beth enough! She is awesome.”
“Chris once again did a fantastic job watching over Teddy, he sent many videos and pictures that showed how happy Teddy was staying with Chris. I feel comforted knowing Teddy is in great hands, will always come back to Chris whenever possible.”
“Monty had another lovely day with Mabel running the show. I appreciate the consistent updates throughout his stay and knowing that he’s living his best life.”
“Margaret and Tony gave us the rare gift of peace of mind. From the moment we met them, it was clear how much they genuinely care for animals. They were wonderful with our two dogs—patient, affectionate, and attentive to their routines. While we were out of the country, they kept us updated and made sure our pups felt safe and loved. We came home to dogs who were content, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We couldn’t ask for better sitters.”
“My dog loved Don! He took such good care of my girl. Lots of walks, lots of pets, lots of updates. I felt very comfortable leaving her in his hands. I’d definitely look to book with him again.”
