“This was the first time they watched our girl Kira and they made the whole experience positive. They sent multiple updates and videos each day, took her on so many walks, and even brushed her and took her to get a new toy. You can tell how much they love animals. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Martha has been taking care of my dogs for many years. She is wonderful and I love that the pups are staying in a family atmosphere. I think she is the BEST!!”
“Jennifer was one of the best hosts we’ve used on Rover. She was flexible and responsive when it came to organizing a meet and greet with her Junebug. She responds instantly, there’s no waiting to hear back from Jennifer. She’s got a great fenced backyard for the dogs. We will definitely rebook with her again!”
“Maria is my go to. I can't speak highly enough of how great she is, how much my dog loves her, and how sad he is to leave the friends he makes. I am a repeat customer for good reasons.”
“We're so happy Mimi has a comfortable place to stay with people who enjoy her company. She's a shy dog, so it's great that she was able to settle in cuddle with new people. Many thanks!”
“Greg was a phenomenal sitter to my best friend! He sent daily updates, pictures, and clearly devoted a lot of 1 on 1 time with my dog throughout his stay. He was quick to communicate and my dog fell in love with him immediately. I would highly recommend Greg and will absolutely request him in the future without hesitation.”
“Tomas is my number one go-to dog watcher! My dog is shy, but he gave her space to approach at her own speed. Now a few visits later, she is clearly happy to stay with him, and I can tell from the photos that she feels happy and relaxed there.”
“Kirsten was terrific. Rizzo settled in and had fun with the family and the family dogs even though shy can be shy. We received ample feedback and pictures to reassure us that our pup was fine while we were on vacation.”
“Kevin and Kandice were fantastic! My pup loved them since the first moment he met them. They kept me updated and my pup looked so happy! I highly recommend them!”
“Laila, fit us in at the last minute and was absolutely wonderful! My chihuahua is a bit much for a lot of people and he has a very strong bond to me. He liked Laila right away and I was able to leave him with a peaceful heart. She sent me so many pictures and videos that I never had to wonder if he was being cared for and happy. She showed me without me ever having to ask. I have never picked him up from a sitter when he did not run to me and jump in the car ready to go home. But, when Laila brought him outside to go home he wanted to go on their usual walk and was genuinely sad to leave. 11 out of ten! He is so calm and happy I’m so glad Laila was able to watch him for me this weekend!”
“Leah and Leio (and their kids) were so loving towards Luca and went out of their way to treat him like family during his stay :) We received updates and photos often, which we loved! When I mentioned that Luca likes to look out windows during the day, they made efforts to ensure that he could do just that at their house :) Another thing I appreciated was how much info they asked upfront in our meet and greet in order to meet all of Luca’s needs and understand the manners/rules he follows when he’s at home (e.g. no table food, sitting & waiting before taking his food). This was very considerate and showed a lot of respect for Luca’s norms :) Luca got lots of love, lots of walks, and lots of space to roam during his stay! We would bring Luca back to stay with them in a heartbeat! If you’re looking for a family that will love your dog like their own and do everything they can to make your pup at home while you’re away, Leah and Leio will be the right fit for you.”
“Kimiko is so communicative! I love the photos she sends of Copper while I'm away. He gets visibly excited to see her when we arrive at her house so I know he's well taken care of with her.”
“My 2 year old Springer Spaniel Boxer mix, Edie, had a wonderful time with Jana and her family! When I normally leave Edie at her doggy daycare to travel, she barely eats and seems anxious when I come to pick her up. Not the case this time! Edie ate all the food I had packed for her along with all the treats! She loved running around and puppy style wrestling with Hazel! Jana gave me updates twice a day with pictures and videos of the ladies playing. I truly do believe that Edie had a dog vacay with Hazel and Jana!”
“We had a great experience with Erin and Kevin for our golden retriever Kobe! Erin proactively set up a meet and greet which helped Kobe adjust to their home as a first time guest. We got great updates throughout his stay and he had plenty of exercise, one day getting over 3 miles of walks in! Would highly recommend these kind folks for pup care.”
“We are so grateful for Daisha and Tam for taking such excellent care and loving Cocoa. When we picked up Cocoa, she was clean, smells good, happy! Thank you for all the photos/updates you sent us everyday. Daisha and Tam and their clean home and beautiful big yard are just perfect!!!!”
“Shari is very professional, while being warm and welcoming to our dog Coco. She takes the doge to local dog parks and play areas, and has a great yard. Her little dogs love Coco and for Coco this is like summer camp. She loves to go to Shari's and I never worry. Coco had a minor problem with ears that Shari took care of appropriately. She notified us and regularly sends photos and updates. ”
“Devan was excellent with Pepper, and was extremely meticulous in his communication. We received constant text and photo updates during his stay and that’s one of the most important qualities when caring for a pet.”

“Karen was so great with my 2 cats! This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous about leaving them with a stranger. But Karen was dependable, and the communication was excellent!”
“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.”
“Brennyn took great care of the menagerie, finding new ways to engage and play with the cats, and giving our chickens plenty of quality time out in the yard. Exemplary pet sitting. Communicative, detail oriented and thoughtful. Highly recommended.”
“Billy was very sweet and attentive to my two goofy cats!! He was available on short notice and we were certainly very comfortable leaving our babies in his care. Will absolutely book him 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 did a great job with my elderly boys (2 cats)! Communicated quickly and thoroughly and was flexible when my trip ended up going longer than expected and we needed to add on a drop-in. Took care of them exactly as directed. They were happy and healthy when I returned! Will definitely be booking again.”
“Deanna is a great sitter! She was very easy to work with, flexing work my schedule, and so kind to my pet. She took great care of my pet and communicated with me while I was gone. Will rebook again!”
About: I always thought I was a dog person until I got my cats, Presti and Vatra, when I was 11; now I am a full fledged cat person! I genuinely have a deep love and respect for cats and love watching them come out of their shells over days and repeat visits. I am patient and considerate and like to meet cats where they're at. I always believe there's more to learn and more cats to love!
“Ellie house sat and stayed with our sweet Luna over the weekend. We couldn’t be happier about the entire experience! From the meet and greet to Ellie’s communication, punctuality and responsiveness we give her a 10/10. She was respectful to the house and we could barely tell anyone was here. We’ll definitely be using Ellie in the future!”
“Chris is amazing and we highly recommend her. She came by for a meet and greet, along with multiple drop-ins over 4 days. She’s reliable and wonderfully communicative towards us. More importantly, she took great care with our cats and was able to keep our most anxious one at ease. We would love for Chris to cat sit for us again!”
About: I've known I wanted a cat since I was a child, but for most of my life I was stuck with just pet sitting for neighbors and volunteering at my local shelter. As soon as I could tick all the boxes for responsible pet ownership (reasonable financial stability, not moving apartments all the time, roommates not allergic, etc.) my now-husband and I adopted our cat son, Kamaji. I have experience with special diets, medication administration, toenail clipping, and have cared for senior cats. I've also cared for birds, pet mice, gerbils, indoor and outdoor plants, and even (occasionally) dogs.
“Lisa was amazing! Very reliable, provided frequent updates (with great photos), and gave my clingy cat companionship while we were gone. Highly recommend Lisa for your cat-sitting needs”
“Chelsey is amazing and took such good care of our cat, Dexter! She went above and beyond helping us out when an unexpected issue that could’ve impacted Dexter’s care arose while we were away. We are so grateful!! Thank you so much!”
“Maura did a great job of taking great care of our 3 year old cat, and 4 month old kitten. We were a little nervous about having to leave our young kitten at home since it was his first time alone. She did a great job of playing with him and making him feel safe. Cowboy, our older cat, definitely loves his space and Maura was able to immediately tell and gave him the space that he needed to feel safe. The instructions were followed really well. The only feedback we have is to add a description of how the visit was after each visit. Apart from that, Maura did a fantastic job of taking care of our boys. Highly recommend!”
“I have used Allie in the past and can't continue to say enough amazing things about her! Whenever my fur babe is in her care I feel completely at ease knowing he will be greatly taken care of. Allie goes above and beyond with everything! From her effort to make your pet feel comfortable and at ease in her care, to keeping you updated with pictures and communicating how things are going, I couldn't be more thankful for her! I trust her completely and that in itself is such a feeling of relief! Allie is the absolute best!!!”
About: I grew up with cats and have one of my own now, so I’m very comfortable with their different personalities and routines. I’m genuinely a cat person and really enjoy spending time with them, whether they’re social or more independent. I also have a senior cat, so I’m used to paying attention to details, sticking to routines, and noticing small changes in behavior. I’m comfortable giving medications and following any specific care instructions. I keep things clean and consistent, including litter boxes, feeding, and making sure cats feel relaxed and not stressed while their people are away. I’ll also send updates so you know how they’re doing.
“Alexa was great! She was incredibly communicative and we were super impressed with her pre-pet sitting questions & precautions around cleanliness. Our cat was way less stressed when we got home compared to other times we've had to leave town, and I am positive it was because Alexa really took the time to play with her & give her lots of attention. Will totally book again!”
“Melissa was wonderful! Not only available to help out on relatively short notice but genuinely felt like she cared for our cat. Thanks so much Melissa :)”

“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.”
“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.”
“Rachael was able to take my pup last minute after another sitter cancelled on us. She was so great with our very energetic pup. Thank you so much for the time, care, and attention you provided to Harlan! Would definitely book again!”
“Clarissa and Yasiel took great care of Pickles! He's had some separation anxiety lately but he settled in just fine. They kept me updated throughout the day and sent cute photos. We will rebook!”
About: Hi! I am Ro! I take my pet's care very seriously and that is how I will be providing care for yours. I have experience taking care of litter of puppies, brachiocephalic breeds, special needs dogs and high energy breeds. My spouse and I have 3 dogs and 3 cats. Our french bulldog has a megasophagus and my GSD have had surgeries, so we have experience taking care of pets intensively for a while. My cats have been raised with dogs around and are calm towards dogs. I have a German Shepherd, a Brittany and a French Bulldog, all very friendly and playful. We have a big and a small fenced yard and plenty of toys. A day for your dog in my house would consist of plenty of potty breaks, supervised yard time/play time, time alone with me relaxing, lick mats, puzzles, a daily walk, and play time with my dogs (if the owner allows interaction and they get along). I run a tight ship, so my dogs and your dogs will be just fine coexisting together or I can also provide care without my pets around. We are long time Rover users, so we will definitely treat your dogs as we would like our pets to be taken care of. Please let me know any food allergies. *At this time, I am only boarding 1 (2 if they are family) pet at a time to provide everyone a quality care and alone time. I work from home and I am able to take several breaks for potty breaks, feeding the dogs or supervised play time with my dogs or separated. All of my dogs are crate trained. I have a big and a small yard which would work to keep your pets and my pets seperate at all times, if needed. I can provide good care for dogs who don't do well with other dogs around as well.
“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!”
“Maria & Kalyan are so sweet and incredibly accommodating. They are great with my pup and make me feel very at ease when I’m working long hours. My dog is having very structured playtime with them, going to parks, playing fetch, wrestling with their pup without the dogs getting too wild. They send updates throughout the day, I love being comfortable with who my pup is with and trust them completely. Caine loves going over to them, and I love knowing my dog is well taken care of with a couple who will treat your dog like their own. Can’t wait to use them every other week when I work! Thanks guys!!”
“Beau is kind, flexible and professional. Both my senior dog and my 7 month old pup went directly to him-exhibiting no separation anxiety at all. He took very good care of both dogs and worked-happily-around my complicated schedule. It was reassuring to trust that my dogs were getting top notch care!”
“Maria was wonderful with my senior dog! She was great at communicating and was so thoughtful with how to make my dog as comfortable as possible in her home. Will definitely work with Maria again!”
“Tomas was great with our boxer boy, Hank. Hank played all morning in Tomas’ yard, and he was tuckered out all afternoon. Tomas kept us updated with pictures of Hank playing hard and even a snuggle towards the end of the day. We will definitely reach out again when Hank needs another play day!”
“Niko loves going here and they take such good care of him! He pulls to the door in excitement and that’s the best sign that there can be to show how good they are to him ! They send me his pictures and keep me updated on what he’s doing throughout the day. Pick up and drop off has been extremely smooth- even at times that I need to drop him off extremely early. Both Lorrie and Andrew were extremely accommodating!”
“Joline is a wonderful sitter! She is incredibly responsive and sends many updates throughout the day. As she has her own working breed dog, she is used to providing plenty of exercise and mental enrichment. Obi absolutely loved his day with Joline and Fil. He came home a happy, tired dog. Would absolutely book again!”
“Matt did an amazing job with my energetic 10-month-old pup! She came home happily exhausted after a full day of play with the other dogs. I really appreciated all the photos and videos he sent throughout the day—it was great to see her having so much fun. I’ll definitely keep using Matt for all our future needs. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you Vicky! You and Gugu were amazing hosts, thanks for keeping us posted on Boone’s activities. He had the best time and is zonked out from a full day of play 😊”

About: We have experience with dogs of various sizes, personalities, and breeds. We own dogs and also care for other people’s dogs. We will provide your dogs with the same love and attention that we give to our own. We can offer a walking service around the neighborhood or take them to a nearby dog park. We are a family of four (2 humans, 2 dogs), so your dog will never feel lonely. Our dogs are medium-sized, friendly, and love playing with other dogs. Our apartment building features a pet relief area and a dog spa, enabling us to offer bathing services if needed. Additionally, I speak Russian.

We are happy to host your dog from after 5pm on Friday until Sunday night or Monday at 8am. We also provide a pick-up and drop-off service for an additional $50 (round trip). We reside in a pet-friendly community, equipped with several pet beds and a crate if necessary for safety. Your pup will be treated as part of our family during their stay. I’m working from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible (in case your pup needs to follow a specific schedule). Your pup will never stay alone :) I live in an apartment complex in SLU, we have a pet relief area on the 40th floor and Denny Park is also located across the street :)
About: I love pets and recognize each pet is an individual with unique needs, behaviors, temperaments and interests. I have always had pets including many dogs and cats throughout my life. I have also had guinea pigs, gerbils/hamster's, fish and even a rat! Throughout my life I have studied animal behavior too. I have taken many dog training classes and even pet first aid. My schedule is flexible and I am reliable, organized, and tidy. I also know a lot about greener living because I am an environmental educator. My schedule is flexible and I am available most days including weekends and evenings. I have a lot of time to care for your pets including walks, feeding, activities and lots of pets and lots of love. I have 25+ years of experience caring for dogs, cats and smaller pets too (rabbits, gerbils, and fish). I have lots of experience walking dogs in our local neighborhoods and parks. Your pets safety is my #1 concern and a close second is making sure they are happy and getting the love, attention and exercise they need while in my care.
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.

“Billy was prompt, professional and one can truly feel how he loves dogs. Oliver, our Golden is big and strong and he handled him with care and attention. Most definitely will recommend.”
“My pups had a better time with Karen than they do with our family, for SURE! She is great and communicating, letting us know what the walk was like, sending pictures. 100% would book again, and highly HIGHLY recommend. Also, very covid aware and safe!”
About: I have been around several dogs through my life and I have about 2 years, I have been around and helped take care of 2 Pitbull, a Chihuahua, a golden doodle, and a labradoodle. I will feed, water, and walk you're dogs two to three times per day and hour, as well as playing with you're dogs. One of my family members pets has a fence in yard and I've walked their Labradoodle about two times per day and hour I was at their house.
“Tim has been really great with my dogs. They get so excited to see him when he arrives. Its been a great help as I recover from an injury to know they are in good hands with their afternoon walk. He has also been very flexible with the schedule and adjusted a walk time as my schedule changed. My dogs are 90 and 70 lbs and he has had no issues with them.”

“Katie did great with my dog! He was a little apprehensive about going on the walk but she was patient and won him over with treats. Great with communication and was flexible when scheduling. Definitely recommend!”
“Brennyn demonstrated a high level of patience with Sir Wiggle Bottom during the initial stages. By the end of the week, Wiggles appeared enthusiastic about seeing Brennyn and going for walks. Brennyn provided us with an update, including a report card featuring charming photos of Wiggles enjoying himself. Thank you!”

About: My pet sitting experience started after babysitting for families in and around the neighborhood and when the kids grew up or the family would travel, I would house sit or pet sit for them. Sometimes it would be two very active husky’s who walked 3 two mile walks a day, 5 long haired cats with two dogs and a bird, or just 2 cats to look after over the weekend. I love to make sure they are loved and cared for while being away from their favorite person! I have open availability for when you need me! I work from home so if coordinated in advance, I am able to be pretty flexible. I’ve always taken great care of my clients home when pet sitting. I treat their place as if it is my own and always make sure the space is cleaner than when I arrive.
“Alexa is fantastic - I’m so glad to have found her! The pups love her too. Alexa is communicative - lets us know if anything happens during the walks, takes great photos, and is just a responsible and personable dog lover/dog walker.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments through friends, family, and neighbors, and I currently have a 6-year-old Shiba Inu—so I understand independence, stubbornness, and the need for structure and consistency. I’m reliable, attentive, and make sure dogs get proper exercise, clear boundaries, and a calm environment. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training, handling high-energy or strong-willed dogs, and following detailed instructions (feeding, medications, routines). I focus on keeping dogs engaged, safe, and stress-free, and I’ll keep you updated so you know your pet is in good hands. Im in between jobs so any time of day works for me and can fit it into my schedule. I have a car so can commute to you where needed. Just feel free to let me know the best way to provide care to your dog. Happy to give any medicine required or if you dog prefers any toys.
“Kelsey is amazing! Our dog loved her and they had such a great time on walks. She is super responsive, thoughtful and always on time. We couldnt ask for a better friend for our fur baby!”
About: I try to make it feel as normal and low stress as possible for your pet while you’re away. I pay attention to their routine, their personality, and what helps them feel comfortable, whether that’s getting out for a good walk, playing a bit, or just having someone calm around. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, including shy pets or ones that need a little patience. I also have experience with senior pets and can handle medications or more detailed care without any issue. I don’t stack a ton of bookings, so I’m able to give each pet real attention and not rush through visits. I’ll also keep you updated along the way so you know how things are going without having to wonder. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit pet care visits into my day. I’m able to adjust around feeding times, walks, or drop-ins and give each visit proper attention without rushing. When I’m doing drop in visits, I focus on keeping things calm, clean, and consistent with your pet’s normal routine. I follow any instructions closely, whether that’s feeding, walks, litter box care, or medications, and I make sure everything is left just as I found it. I’m respectful of people’s homes and treat them with care and attention. I keep things tidy while I’m there and make sure pets feel comfortable and not rushed during the visit. I also send updates so you know everything went smoothly.
“I highly recommend Luna! She is self sufficient, punctual, flexible, and communicative. She clearly loves dogs and was more than willing to jump in and cover a gap we had in care. We appreciate you, Luna!!”
“Anastasiya was great with Nacho during a last minute switch to my schedule! She was flexible and came at the time asked for. Really appreciate her taking out my little guy for a walk. Will be using her next time!”
“Julia was great with my dog and cat, kept me informed and provided daily pictures and updates. She also was very accommodating when I requested to schedule a visit the first time she was meeting my dog, Bear in short notice. Highly recommend. Ty Julia!”

“This was the first time they watched our girl Kira and they made the whole experience positive. They sent multiple updates and videos each day, took her on so many walks, and even brushed her and took her to get a new toy. You can tell how much they love animals. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Greg was a phenomenal sitter to my best friend! He sent daily updates, pictures, and clearly devoted a lot of 1 on 1 time with my dog throughout his stay. He was quick to communicate and my dog fell in love with him immediately. I would highly recommend Greg and will absolutely request him in the future without hesitation.”
“Tomas is my number one go-to dog watcher! My dog is shy, but he gave her space to approach at her own speed. Now a few visits later, she is clearly happy to stay with him, and I can tell from the photos that she feels happy and relaxed there.”
“Kirsten was terrific. Rizzo settled in and had fun with the family and the family dogs even though shy can be shy. We received ample feedback and pictures to reassure us that our pup was fine while we were on vacation.”
“Leah and Leio (and their kids) were so loving towards Luca and went out of their way to treat him like family during his stay :) We received updates and photos often, which we loved! When I mentioned that Luca likes to look out windows during the day, they made efforts to ensure that he could do just that at their house :) Another thing I appreciated was how much info they asked upfront in our meet and greet in order to meet all of Luca’s needs and understand the manners/rules he follows when he’s at home (e.g. no table food, sitting & waiting before taking his food). This was very considerate and showed a lot of respect for Luca’s norms :) Luca got lots of love, lots of walks, and lots of space to roam during his stay! We would bring Luca back to stay with them in a heartbeat! If you’re looking for a family that will love your dog like their own and do everything they can to make your pup at home while you’re away, Leah and Leio will be the right fit for you.”
“My 2 year old Springer Spaniel Boxer mix, Edie, had a wonderful time with Jana and her family! When I normally leave Edie at her doggy daycare to travel, she barely eats and seems anxious when I come to pick her up. Not the case this time! Edie ate all the food I had packed for her along with all the treats! She loved running around and puppy style wrestling with Hazel! Jana gave me updates twice a day with pictures and videos of the ladies playing. I truly do believe that Edie had a dog vacay with Hazel and Jana!”
“We had a great experience with Erin and Kevin for our golden retriever Kobe! Erin proactively set up a meet and greet which helped Kobe adjust to their home as a first time guest. We got great updates throughout his stay and he had plenty of exercise, one day getting over 3 miles of walks in! Would highly recommend these kind folks for pup care.”
“Malvika & her family were fantastic sitters! They were very attentive with her schedule & medication & provided ample photos (all whole album worth!) + lots playtime & company for her. Highly recommend & can’t wait to have Momo stay with them again!! 🥰”
“Molly was great! We got plenty of updates and pictures throughout the day. One of our boys is slow to warm up and can be grumbly/barky with new people and she was very patient with him and both dogs seemed to have a great time!”
“Matt has watched our senior Greyhound, Hazel, a dozen times now, and I wanted to make sure to give another review. Matt is an incredible resource for our dog, and I'm so grateful we found him. Greyhounds in particular can be a tricky breed to deal with, especially when they're old, and Matt has been nothing but patient and kind with her through thick and thin. His love for all dogs is something else, and it shows in how he takes care of all his clients. We'll keep coming back! Thanks Matt :)”
“I had a fantastic experience boarding my dog with Eric! He was very communicative and thoughtful, and provided a wonderful environment for my rambunctious girl to get her energy out each and every day she was with him. We looked forward to seeing the batches of pictures he sent every day; seeing her frolic every day made our vacation even more fun. I would love to board her with him again!”
“Rhino enjoyed his multi-night stay with Dani. He had a lot of fun with Glacier. Dani was super nice providing updates and sending pictures of Rhino. Highly recommended for boarding.”
“Biscuit had a great stay with Elise and James. They are warm, attentive and loving. We got plenty of updates during our dog’s stay with them. Upon coming home, I could tell Biscuit was really relaxed and himself straight away, which is always a great sign. We are looking forward to Biscuit’s next stay!”
“Sandie was the best! Caring, dependable, loving with our four-legged family member, and just a great caregiver. Highly recommend her for taking care of pets.”
“Benji had another great stay with Michelle and Scott (their fourth time watching our pup and we hope there will be many more )! Highly recommend them to you if you are looking for a sitter!”
“Jeremy was great. He responded quickly and was very easy to work with. Our dogs loved starting with him, returning home happy and tired! We would definitely book with Jeremy again.”
“Elle and Scott were fantastic and lifesavers for accepting an overnight stay for our golden at the last minute. They were super considerate to put away their own dogs when we arrived so our pooch could get a good initial lay of the land and set us at ease that she'd be in good hands. They took her on a heavenly outing to the park and I have no doubt gave her lots of love, too. We had excellent communication and updates from Elle the entire stay and we picked up a happy pooch! Will definitely use Elle again.”
“Pamela was great with our 14 year old labrador! She sent lots of updates and treated him well. He was super happy when we went to pick him up. Pamela is very kind and caring. We will definitely book again!”
