“Laila was Amazing! She shared photos and videos that made me feel so relaxed and comfortable as this was the first time I've been away from my baby. I highly recommend Laila!”
“Maria and Kalyan (and Nikko) provided excellent care for Hazel while I was away. Hazel can be a bit anxious when I leave her with a Rover, but they helped her settle in right away. They sent lots of photo and video updates, so I could trust that Hazel was being well-cared for. They really understand Aussies. And by the end of the weekend, Hazel was even caught holding hands with their dog Nikko! New bestie acquired! I would gladly book with them again, and I think Hazel would be thrilled as well.”
“Kenny was great about all his communication and took wonderful care of my dog Barney. He came home relaxed! I look forward to future appointments with Kenny.”
“Jennifer is AMAZING! Very easy to work with, communicates well, and is flexible. She took Lola Rae on two walks a day and sent updates with pictures.”
“Colleen and her husband were perfect. It’s clear they understand dogs and know how to make them feel comfortable. Odin enjoyed our initial visit, and when we came back two months later for the drop off it was clear he was excited and happy to be there. We will absolutely ask them to watch Odin again.”
“Jessica was great! She was communicative throughout, and I felt really comfortable leaving Dakota with her. Her dog, Ollie, is super sweet, and he and Dakota got along really well. I’d definitely book with her again!”
“Leio and Leah and their family were amazing! They poured so much attention and affection to our dog and it's clear he loved every minute of it. They were communicative and provided great photos during our trip which we really loved as well. Would definitely return to for future sittings!”
“I’m so grateful to have found Maria! My little guy had such a wonderful time with her and her and the little friends she had ready for him to play with. I’m sure he is looking forward to the next time I have to leave town and he gets to go back for another beach vacation!”
“Sarah is an excellent sitter! We got daily and frequent updates on our pup and our pup got so cozy with Sarah that she felt at home and was happy to see us when we picked her up.”
“Elise and James have boarded our girls twice now and we’ve booked them again for an upcoming trip. They take great care of them, send daily updates, and clearly love dogs. Couldn’t ask for better sitters!”
“This was our second time leaving Momo with Malvika & her family! Momo was anxious this time & they were so understanding and helpful with her. Once again, highly recommend Malvika!”
“Kirsten and her family are wonderful furbaby sitters. Bodhi always has a great time while he’s there and comes home exhausted! We enjoy the pictures she sends and know that he’s having fun, while we are too!”
“Christopher went above and beyond by providing multiple updates and photos each day, and checking in when our dogs energy levels seemed to be low (which is normal for our anxious older dog). He set up a meet and greet so we could make sure that our dogs got along before accepting the booking, which I appreciate. 10/10 would book again next time I am in need of a dog-sitter!”
“Brenda took wonderful care of our dog, Zelda, during our 4 day trip. Zelda can be a finicky eater and also chews up paper, so leaving her with a caring and attentive Rover really helps us be able to travel with ease. Zelda did great under Brenda's care, and came home happy and healthy. I definitely recommend booking with Brenda and will rebook in the future! Thank you so much!”
“Daisha and her husband are so incredibly nice and wonderful. My pups are somewhat handful and required lots of attention. They got all the love, care, and more staying with Daisha. I love the fact that Daisha's home is so neat and clean and she has a beautiful yard for the dogs to run around and enjoy. I specially appreciate Daisha's attention to details and her and her husband's genuine love and care for my dogs. I completely trusted and felt very lucky to have found Daisha to board my dogs. We'll definitely be back and work with Daisha again. Thank you so much Daisha!!!”
“Gregg is so kind and awesome with doggos! He was great with Leo, giving him lots of walks and time playing with the ball. Gregg shared regular updates and it was clear Leo was in a safe, fun place. Thank you!!”
“I was nervous to leave my dog with someone other than family, but Vivian was great! She sent pictures regularly to let me know how my dog was doing, and treated him like one of her own!”

“Cynda dropped in on my two cats for four days and was great! We were on a camping trip and got limited service but it was great to be able to find a spot and see the pictures she sent! Thank you, Cynda!”
“Maura was fantastic! She was very communicative and I really appreciated her flexibility when my travel plans changed last minute. My cat can get lonely and anxious when I'm gone and she was in such good spirits when I returned. Maura's visits made Juniper feel comfortable and cared for and it was wonderful to know she was in good hands while I was gone. I would definitely recommend Maura!”
“Haley took good care of my cat and kept my place clean. My cat is a bit of a loner. She usually hides or stays still around people, but she happily played with Haley. I'm very happy and I'd love to book Haley again.”
“Tim has been fantastic with Sofie! He’s great at communicating and sending updates during his drop‑ins. The photos he sends of her looking calm and happy show how much she enjoys spending time with him.”
“Lisa was amazing! She took such wonderful care of Luna while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Luna had someone kind and attentive checking in on her. Luna was happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoyed having the company. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely book with Lisa again. Highly recommend!”
“I’m so grateful for Carrianne for taking such wonderful care of my sweet boy Freddy. He’s warmed up to her so well, which says everything. She’s reliable, incredibly attentive, and always keeps me updated, giving me total peace of mind. I truly trust her and appreciate her so much!”
About: I've taken care of cats for 10+ years and have a couple cats of my own at home! I'm a big believer that they have big personalities and demand more trust building than a lot of other animals. I love creating safe environments for cats and easing their time away from their families.
“Noa took care of our Sphynx in our house for eight days. He needs special food, lots of attention, and regular cleaning. When we got back, he looked great and was well adjusted—as if we hadn’t left! We were very grateful to have some time away and to receive regular reports and photos from Noa. The house was in great shape when we returned too. We were very fortunate to have Noa’s help.”
“I had a wonderful experience! Lex was reliable, sent lots of great photos and updates, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my cat, Charlie, was happy, comfortable, and well cared for—and even seemed to adore her. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Eric gave AMAZING care for my ultra-shy kitties! He spent a lot of time with the cats and the diligence really showed when they actually hung out with him! Usually they flee from any human aside from me. It was such a relief knowing they were getting more than just their food and water topped off, and I also appreciated the thorough communication.”
“Brandi did an amazing job with our two young ragdolls. I would give her 10/10 in literally every category - communication, updates, photos, cleanliness, directions - everything was amazing. I am usually very anxious about leaving them, but Brandi put us at ease entirely. Would book her every time if I could.”
“Yucong was wonderful with my pigeons and tortoises during my trip, even befriending my blind pigeon. One of my tortoises had a procedure prior to my trip and Yucong sent me updates on Hugo's eating habits and pics of his food bowl when his appetite changed. He also asked questions when the directions I provided weren't clear. My animal's space and my living room were so immaculate when I got home, I was delightfully surprised! I really appreciated his willingness to and diligence in looking after my little friends, especially since tortoises and pigeons are a bit atypical.”

“Mac did a great job taking care of my large dog and my sister's medium sized dog for two days. He came over to meet my less than well trained 94 pounder and had no trouble with his excited barking and tendency to jump. He also came over and was at the house when we left to also ensure that the dogs would be aware he was permitted in the house and yard. I also appreciated that Mac was available on short notice (under a week) in August. He really came to the rescue and I'd use him again.”
“Talia was our first Rover catsitter, and we had a great experience with her––we'll absolutely book her again. She came over for a meet-and-greet before the trip and was friendly, professional and engaged with our cat. During the trip, she sent us sweet photos and spent time socializing with our cat who can be a bit "bitey." Talia even called for our cat when she was outside, and waited for our cat to come back to get some pets and treats.”
About: I’ve been caring for cats for friends for many years and understand that every cat has a unique personality and routine. Whether your cat is social and playful or shy and independent, I’m happy to provide care that matches their needs.

“Eric has been great with our Dog Big Mama. She is usually very nervous with new people and places, but she warmed up to him immediately. Eric is super responsive and took amazing care of her while we were out of town for the week. We have rebooked with Eric multiple times and he has become our go to dog sitter. I would highly recommend Eric and just wanted to say thank you for being so great with our dog.”
“Zoey spent 4 days with Maria, Kalyan and Nikko and had the best time. She is not always excited to leave her human pack but every day was excited to play with Nikko.M and K went above and beyond sending photos and videos. Zoey came home a tired puppy every night!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8, from newborn puppies to senior dogs with special needs. I love playing fetch, cuddling on the couch for quiet time as well as running around together in the terraced backyard. If you’re looking for a mini summer camp for your pup, no matter their size or age, you’ve found the right place! I work from home as an artist with 2 small dogs that love meeting new friends! I’m home Monday- Friday and several weekends each month. I also have a separate living room for your cat where it will have the run of the place without other pets. I don’t have children, I have dogs. They sleep in the bedroom and I take them everywhere; camping, roadtrips, and I’ve even taken them abroad with me for vacation!
“They were excellent hosts, clearly our lil guy had such a nice time with them, I’ll definitely reach out to them if I were in town again, and need someone to take care of Olaf! The entire family engaged with Olaf and kept him company, can’t recommend them enough!”
“Rachael was great! Sadie can be a little shy and nervous at first but she warmed up quickly to Rachael. We loved that she got a trip to the dog park too! Rachael had great communication and sent us some videos of Sadie playing.”
“Lydia took Aggie in at last moment. Aggie is a shy dog but Lydia was able to get her comfortable in her. I loved the regular messages and video she kept sending us. Anytime we are in Seattle she will our go to person to care of Aggie. Thanks again Lydia.”
About: I have cared for my own pug for over 13 years, so I understand the daily needs of dogs at different stages of life, including senior care. Our home environment is calm and comfortable, which works well for dogs that enjoy a relaxed setting. Both my husband and I work from home most days, so dogs staying with us receive plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and walks throughout the day. We also have a private rooftop area that can be used for quick potty breaks if needed. Because we have a gentle senior pug at home, we typically do best with dogs that are friendly and not extremely high energy. We aim to provide a safe, comfortable place where dogs can relax and feel cared for while their owners are away. Both my husband and I work from home most days, so we are around throughout the day to give dogs attention, regular potty breaks, and walks. This also means dogs are rarely left alone for long periods of time. Our schedule is generally flexible, and we are able to accommodate regular potty breaks, feeding schedules, and walks throughout the day. Because we are home most of the time, we can keep a close eye on the dogs and make sure they are comfortable and well cared for. We provide a calm, safe home environment for dogs.

Because we work from home, dogs staying with us receive plenty of supervision and attention throughout the day. We usually host only one guest dog at a time so we can focus on their comfort and make sure they feel relaxed and well cared for during their stay.
“Chris has been absolutely amazing. I just moved from across the country with one of my three dogs, and he has been having a hard time adjusting to apartment life (aka screaming his head off). After I got an email from my property manager after my first day of work I was frantically looking for a sitter for the next day. Chris was not only able to accommodate Casper the following day after my request, but also last minute on a weekend for an event I was hosting. I cannot thank Chris enough for his help and for putting up with some of Casper’s antics.”
“Our dog Nico LOVES coming to see Tien, Jeanyee, and Bowser! He can't wait to get to their front door to start playing, and he's always so happy at the end of the day. These guys are AWESOME!”
“Jerry was thoughtful, communicative and did a great job caring for my dog! My dog is an escape artist and I felt comfortable leaving her in his care because he has a secure backyard, a double gate system by the front door, and was diligent about keeping her safe.”
“Auntie Maria is the best! She has been instrumental in Pickles' growth since he was a small puppy. She takes such good care of him, from pushes in a stroller to introductory walks with neighbors, I always know he's having a good day while I'm at work. She checks in regularly, and even followed up between visits to make sure he was doing well. Thank you again, Maria!”
“Elle was wonderful, Holly had such a good time at her house and has been in a better mood all week as a result. I would definitely send Holly back to her.”
“Rachel is kind, patient, and flexible. Evie has had such a wonderful time playing at her house with Jane. She came home tired and happy and I was so happy to have some pet help for a couple of weeks. Thank you, Rachel and Jane!”
“Tu was absolutely fantastic with my girl Reggie. After drop off she sent me an update to let me know how she was adjusting to a new place and throughout the day I got pics of my bestie having her new adventure. Would 100% book again!!”
“We could tell Malawi had an amazing time! After the first day, he pretty much ran up the stairs - didn’t even turn around to say Goodbye to us. After we picked him up on his last day, he just laid around sighing to himself. He missed his new friends so much.”
“Michelle was awesome! She sent lots of photo updates, and kept us posted about Charlie’s activities throughout the day- walks, bathroom breaks, etc. He had a great time playing with her dog and was always nice and tired coming home at the end of the day after getting good play and exercise. We’d tooootally recommend her and will definitely be trying to book her in the future!”

“Aaron came right on time and spent time to get acquainted with my dog, who is often apprehensive to meet new people. He took her out for some good exercise and was very responsive with communication. Thank you, Aaron!”
About: My first job, at 12 years was a in-home dog & baby sitter my love & passion for dogs & cats began. Now at 24, it continues to grow.

My pace is suited for dogs of all ages. I have experience with puppies fresh off the bottle to seniors in hospice. Long walks ending with Netflix is my the 🔑 to my ❤️. Puppies easily win my heart, I give them all the love and stimulation they need to thrive. As a former basketball athlete, I’ve learned to love a long, relaxing evening walk. Especially with a dog friend walking alongside. I want to make sure the animals & owners needs are met during my bookings. I prefer a meet in greet before a booking to acquaintance myself with your pet(s). An introduction is always good for dogs/cats prior, makes entering the home & pet on the first day run smooth.

See my photos for a taste of my dog/cat friendly personality & prior bookings. Puppy and Senior dogs are my speed for in home care.

Bring garbage cans in/out, retrieving mail & packages, washing used bedding, dishes, surfaces, etc. I am open to bathing your pets; for example, if we go out & get dirty, too dirty for a wipe down then I will offer this service. As a guest in your home, I will act accordingly.
About: My passion for animals has been at the heart of my pet care experience for years. I have dedicated my time to volunteering with animal shelters, fostering dogs, and providing compassionate care to pets with a wide range of personalities and needs. Through my work with rescue organizations, I have gained hands-on experience caring for senior dogs, dogs with stranger anxiety, leash reactivity, and pets that require single-animal homes. Every animal is unique, and I take the time to understand their individual personalities, routines, and comfort levels so they feel safe and secure while in my care. Friends, fellow volunteers, and pet owners describe me as caring, patient, trustworthy, and dependable. I believe every pet deserves kindness, respect, and plenty of affection. Whether I'm taking a dog for a walk, providing in-home care, or simply spending quality time with them, I treat each pet as if they were my own. My experience fostering rescue dogs has taught me how to remain calm, attentive, and compassionate in a variety of situations, allowing me to build trust with animals that may be fearful or anxious. My goal is to give pet owners complete peace of mind, knowing their beloved companions are receiving exceptional care. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention, I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and reliable experience for every pet and every family I have the privilege to assist. I am currently attending school Monday through Wednesday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. During those days, I am unavailable during school hours but can provide care before and after class. I have full availability on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. If you're looking for overnight house sitting or pet sitting, I am available all seven days of the week. Please note that on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, I will be away from the home between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM while attending school. I'd be happy to discuss your pet's specific needs and schedule to determine if I'm the right fit. I look forward to connecting with you and providing dependable, compassionate care for your pets! Most importantly, I want to assure you that I will adhere to all instructions, rules, and expectations you provide for your pet’s care. While in-home care is often ideal for maintaining a familiar and comfortable environment for your pet, I am also available to provide boarding if needed. I reside in a pet-friendly apartment community that includes a dog wash station and is conveniently located adjacent to a park, offering easy access to outdoor space and exercise. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss your preferences and determine the arrangement that best supports your pet’s comfort and well-being.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and routine, so I take the time to make each walk or visit enjoyable, safe, and tailored to their needs. Whether your dog loves long adventures, leisurely sniff walks, or simply needs companionship while you're away, I'm happy to provide patient, reliable care. I'm attentive to details, communicate regularly with pet parents, and always send updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family member is happy and well cared for. I'm comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic medications if needed, and caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments—including energetic puppies and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and gentle care. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and excited to see me again. As a creative business owner, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the day. I build my own work hours, which means I can easily fit in walks, drop in visits, and consistent care between projects while still giving each pet my full attention. Pet care is a wonderful balance to my creative work, it gets me outdoors, keeps me active, and gives me the opportunity to spend time with animals, something I genuinely enjoy. Because I manage my own schedule, I'm able to be dependable, communicative, and accommodate a variety of routines whenever possible. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or taking them on a walk, I'll follow your instructions closely to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I know that pets thrive on familiarity, so I pay attention to their feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications (if needed), and any special preferences or quirks. I always prioritize safe leash handling, secure entrances and exits, and awareness of our surroundings during walks. In your home, I'll treat your space with the same respect and care I would my own, keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I also believe communication is key. I'll keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is receiving attentive, loving, and reliable care while you're away.
About: Im just an animal lover that has a lot of time currently, I’m not necessarily setting myself apart from other sitters if not only that I’m reliable and responsible having myself two babies.

I will go by the owners lead with information about the pet and anything they may need while making sure to respect the home and pet’s space.
“Hannah was lovely. She arrived within like 10 minutes of my downloading the app and booking someone for the first time. She was super sweet, communicative, and took great care of my little guy. I will definitely be rebooking her in the near future. Highly recommend!”

I care for animals as if they were my own, and they will be spoiled when spending time with me.
About: **Pet Care Experience** I deeply care for dogs, cats, farm animals, reptiles, and amphibians, especially those who struggle with fear, anxiety, or past traumas. With 25 years of personal caregiving experience and 15 years of dedicated training in animal husbandry, I have devoted my life to understanding and nurturing all kinds of animals, whether they are beloved pets or cherished farm companions. My approach is rooted in modern, scientifically-proven training methods that prioritize positive reinforcement, gentle redirection, and fear-free handling. I am committed to building trust, confidence, and safety in every interaction, and I truly believe in meeting each animal where they are emotionally, honoring their unique pace and individual needs. Above all, my goal is to create a nurturing environment where every interaction is restorative, joyful, and filled with unconditional love and patience. I understand the journey of coming out of your shell, and I strive to provide a calm, safe space where animals can heal, trust, and ultimately thrive. I also have experience caring for senior pets, administering medications, and adapting my care to meet special needs. Whether your animal needs gentle reassurance or playful companionship, I am here to offer compassionate, personalized care that respects and supports their unique journey. Pet care is a significant part of my life, and I have set aside time in my schedule to provide attentive and compassionate care on weekends, Mondays, and Tuesdays. I am available Monday and Tuesday from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. For an additional fee, I am also available to work on Wednesdays through Fridays starting after 9:00 a.m. I offer flexibility on weekends if extra care is needed, as well as overnight stays and holiday care upon request. By focusing my care on these specific days, I can give each animal my full attention, patience, and love, ensuring a positive and supportive experience every time we are together. Every pet deserves to feel safe, respected, and comfortable in their environment. Whether I'm caring for pets in my own home or in a client's home, I prioritize creating a calm, structured, and positive space tailored to each animal’s needs. In my home, pets enjoy enrichment activities such as lick mats, playtime, and plenty of cuddles throughout the day. I have a fully fenced backyard with 6+ foot tall fences for safe outdoor play and private areas where dogs can rest undisturbed if they need a break from other animals. Every animal is welcome on the couch for snuggles and is encouraged to feel at home. I utilize gentle, positive reinforcement and maintain clear, consistent routines to help pets feel secure. For animals with fear, anxiety, or a history of trauma, I prioritize slow introductions, patience, and fear-free handling to build trust at their own pace. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, ensuring that pets' surroundings remain familiar and stress-free. I follow instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and behavior protocols closely, maintaining consistency and safety. I am also attentive to environmental safety—checking gates, securing leashes, and removing hazards—and I communicate regularly with pet parents to provide peace of mind. My goal is always to provide gentle, reliable care that fosters trust and confidence in both pets and their humans.
About: I am a loving dog owner of 10 years. All of my dogs were rescued and were in need of a home. I have experience caring for a senior dog and a dog with epilepsy. I currently have a Silver toy poodle Madeline who gets all of my attention and the best of care. I am passionate about sharing that joy with other pet owners and their furry friends to help their pets reach their exercise goals and maintain their overall health. I believe our animals deserve the best of care when it comes to their health, and need personal attention when their owners/parents are away from home.

“Maria and Kalyan (and Nikko) provided excellent care for Hazel while I was away. Hazel can be a bit anxious when I leave her with a Rover, but they helped her settle in right away. They sent lots of photo and video updates, so I could trust that Hazel was being well-cared for. They really understand Aussies. And by the end of the weekend, Hazel was even caught holding hands with their dog Nikko! New bestie acquired! I would gladly book with them again, and I think Hazel would be thrilled as well.”
“Leio and Leah and their family were amazing! They poured so much attention and affection to our dog and it's clear he loved every minute of it. They were communicative and provided great photos during our trip which we really loved as well. Would definitely return to for future sittings!”
“Sarah is an excellent sitter! We got daily and frequent updates on our pup and our pup got so cozy with Sarah that she felt at home and was happy to see us when we picked her up.”
“Elise and James have boarded our girls twice now and we’ve booked them again for an upcoming trip. They take great care of them, send daily updates, and clearly love dogs. Couldn’t ask for better sitters!”
“This was our second time leaving Momo with Malvika & her family! Momo was anxious this time & they were so understanding and helpful with her. Once again, highly recommend Malvika!”
“Kirsten and her family are wonderful furbaby sitters. Bodhi always has a great time while he’s there and comes home exhausted! We enjoy the pictures she sends and know that he’s having fun, while we are too!”
“Gregg is so kind and awesome with doggos! He was great with Leo, giving him lots of walks and time playing with the ball. Gregg shared regular updates and it was clear Leo was in a safe, fun place. Thank you!!”
“I was nervous to leave my dog with someone other than family, but Vivian was great! She sent pictures regularly to let me know how my dog was doing, and treated him like one of her own!”
“Jana and her family have been an absolute gift. Summer is a very reserved, apprehensive little dog who has never stayed in someone else's home before, so I was understandably nervous. From the moment we met, Jana and her family were patient, gentle, and took the time to earn Summer's trust rather than expecting it. They cared for her as if she were their own, and I had complete peace of mind knowing she was safe, comfortable, and in such a calm, loving home while our house was filled with the chaos of repairs, packing, and moving. Summer came home happy and relaxed, and I've already booked Jana again for several more stays. I couldn't recommend her more highly.”
“Josh is hands down the best dog sitter we've ever had! He took incredible care of my dog, Moose, and treated him like his own. Josh was patient, attentive, and genuinely loving—it was clear from the start that he truly cares about animals. I got regular updates, photos, and could tell Moose was having a great time. It’s such a relief to know my dog is in such good hands. Can’t recommend Josh enough and we are stoked to have him dog sit in the near future!”
“Meredith is super sweet! Her and her dog Edgar made sure my dog Scrappy was comfortable. My baby had a blast playing with Edgar and cuddling with Meredith! She is a great communicator and would send me pictures! I will definitely be leaving scrappy with them again!”
“Yalined welcomed my dog Hank into their home, and he had a very nice stay. He was relaxed when I picked him up and I would use Yalined again when I go on a trip.”
“Great stay with Joe as always! Joe is extremely caring, attentive, and responsive. He got in touch with me quickly when my dog had an upset stomach, and worked with me to figure out a solution. He clearly loves and cares for dogs like they are his own. Your dog is safe and loved in his hands! We will be back!”
“Our pup had the best stay with Stephanie and Scotty! They were great about accommodating all of my and my husband’s requests, especially because our girl can be anxious around new environments and people. Frequent updates kept us at ease, and we look forward to booking with them again very soon!”
“Tamar has been wonderful with my 2 dogs! Daily feedback and pictures. She takes them on daily walks and I can see they are being well taken care off. Would highly recommend Tamar to watch your pets.”
“This is the longest my pup has stayed with Matt and I was afraid she wasnt going to want to come back home from how much fun she had. You wont regret using Matt as your dog boarder”
“My pup had a great time staying with Lorrie and Andrew. Highly recommend, and I will book again. Lorrie and Andrew are easy to work with, had great communication, and sent me lots of pictures of my pup playing and enjoying his stay.”
“Jeremy was incredible with our two babies. He went above and beyond to make sure they felt welcomed, loved and comfortable while we were out of town. He took them for fun daily adventures, and when we returned they almost didn’t want to leave with us. It was clear they had the best time! 1000% recommend; and will definitely be using again! Thanks Jeremy!”
