“Adam was great with Pearl, and its always nice knowing a sitter is comfortable with large (stubborn) dogs. Adam communicated well and picked up and dropped of Pearly right on time with no issues.”
“Debra is an incredibly caring and well organized care giver. Our Hazel is kind of delicate, has some tummy issues, delicate teeth, and also separation anxiety. She was with Debra for 5 days while we were out of town and Debra followed all our detailed notes and sent us regular updates throughout the day. We could see that Hazel was having a great time, getting lots of attention, playing with toys, watching the world from the huge window Debra has. She came back totally herself, with no signs of the stress which we have noticed with some other sitters. I would highly recommend Debra and we will definitely have Hazel stay with her especially for longer stays.”
“Keke's stay with Garrett and his pup was excellent. Keke was comfortable with Garrett and he sent pictures and messages throughout her stay. His dedication to pet sitting is evident. Keke already has another "staycation" booked with Garrett.”
“Sharon was amazing! Grizz had a great time with her and her dog Lu. It was easy to communicate. She sent us lots of videos and photos which made us feel very assured and happy to see. I would recommend her to anyone and book with her again! Grizz can’t wait to come back 🥰”
“Why you should use Sam to watch your pup: Reliable Comminicative — sends text to let you know where your four legged friend is in the day Attentive- noticed when my puppy had eye discharge and let me know. And cared for puppy while losing puppy teeth Lots of attention for your animal friend Great living space for boarding with good walking areas near by and parks Friendly lab, Jobidden for your dog to play with Samm is new to rover and her rates reflect that she is building a clientele— she is deff worth more as a sitter Extras: Samm has a LX crate and toys that your dog can use and two cats that are really good / chill with dogs ( gave my 4 month puppy a chance to meet cats) she had me over so my puppy could meet her lab prior to their stay together. She was super laid back when my puppy was excited and accidentally peed on the floor !”
“Emily was an incredible sitter for my golden retriever, Scout! She went above and beyond, taking Scout on long walks every day and making sure her eye drop routine was handled with care. Emily even set up a cozy seating area so Scout could sit beside her while she worked from home, making her feel completely at ease. Scout was happy, well cared for, and even seemed a little extra attached when I got home! Highly recommend Emily for anyone looking for a thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter!”
“They were very excited to watch Pepper. These are Dog People who stopped at nothing to make sure Pepper was well exercised and well taken care of. Will be booking with them again”
“Alana took amazing care of my miniature while we were away for the long weekend. We got lots of great updates throughout his stay. He was sad to leave at the end of his stay but hopefully he can stay with Alana again.”
“Incredible best sitter EVER and we have lots of friends who sit for us and love our dog, but Anand is almost a pet psychic! He really looked into my little anxious chiweenie’s heart and walked him, played with him and gave great advice on how to make our dog more socially acclimated. Above and beyond the job description we will call on him again!”
“Ying was a fantastic sitter for our furry boy! She sent lots of updates with photos and it looks like he had tons of outdoor time exploring the neighborhood and Green Lake. Ying was very easy to communicate with and seemed to really care a lot about making our boy comfortable and welcome. We will definitely look to Ying again when we need a sitter in the future. Highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve always loved dogs for as long as I can remember. And I have a 2 year old golden retriever, named Honey, and raising him from a puppy to now has been the most rewarding experience. He loves to make new friends!! We live in a spacious 1 bedroom apartment with a large park just 1 block away. We go on 4-5 walks per day and we’d love to have your pup join us! I am currently working from home so my schedule is very flexible during the week. And on the weekends, I can make myself available as well for walks, play time drop ins, boarding, etc. I can guarantee your pet will receive so much care and attention. Please reach out with your specific needs and details for your pet so I can be aware!
“Marden is amazing with Lobo and Lobo loves him back since Marden has a lot of experience and patience to teach Lobo how to behave better. Lobo enjoys staying with Marden since he gets to meet and play with other dogs. We have scheduled dog boarding with Marden many times now.”
“Jessica was great with Boomer! Boomer loved her stay with her. Jessica is very responsive and communicative. Kept us updated all the time with photos and videos. She took care of her teeth cleaning everyday at our request too! I would highly recommend her and will booker again!”

Shared lots of photos and videos, plus humorous 2x daily summaries of our quirky dog’s adventures, leaving me confident our Pug was having fun, well loved and cared for! Our dog got along great with Felix and his Boxer! Felix provided prompt and thorough feedback. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”

“Thank you Jessica for another great weekend with Carl. We always feel so relaxed leaving him with you, we know he is going to get all the best attention, walks and care. Excellent communication and wonderful photos as always. Thanks again!”

I always know they’re in great hands and don’t have to stress about anything when we are out of town -I highly recommend her. Thanks for everything Amy! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Kathleen was absolutely wonderful with our two cats, Rosie and Teddy. Her communication was top-notch with consistent, thorough updates after every visit, and she genuinely cared for our pets as if they were her own. We couldn't have asked for a more reliable, caring sitter and will definitely be booking her again!”
“Isabella was great at caring for Addy and making her feel attended to. She was very communicative of any issues that came up, minor though they were. I'm definitely pleased with the experience.”
“Kimberly was great with our two cats, who have very different energy levels and needs. She provided detailed visit reports and plenty of photos, which we loved. She was patient with our older cat and gave our younger one lots of playtime and attention. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her care and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong love of animals and hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes and ages - I treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m happy to offer care on most weekends and some weekday evenings, and I always keep my calendar up-to-date so you’ll know exactly when I’m available. During drop-in visits, I make sure to follow your pet’s routine closely. I feed them, give any medications if needed, provide fresh water, and spend quality time walking, playing, and giving affection. I also make sure your home stays tidy, check in with updates and photos, and give your pet plenty of attention so they feel happy and safe while you’re away.
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter who enjoys spending time with cats and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Although I haven’t owned a cat myself, I’ve cared for friends’ and clients’ cats through drop-in visits. My experience includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, giving treats (when approved), providing affection and playtime, and respecting each cat’s unique personality whether they’re social and cuddly or prefer their own space. I understand that consistency and a calm presence help cats feel at ease. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, keep your home tidy during visits, and send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is in good hands. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your feline friend!
“Nicole did an amazing job taking care of our kitties and helping make sure the ants didn’t take over while we were away! She takes such good photos and the cats love their playtime with her.”
“Sami was a fantastic and caring petsitter for my high-strung cat. She knew exactly how to let him be around her and made sure he was very comfortable. Sami was always punctual, thorough in her pet care, and prompt in her communications. I ill definitely be re-booking her and recommending her to my friends!”
“Conner was great taking care of our cat during a month long trip. He showed up every agreed upon day, and posted status and picture updates. His communication and flexibility are great.”
“Alyssa goes above and beyond to take care of my timid but very loving orange tabby. I hate leaving him but feel at ease with Alyssa taking care of him! She’s one of the few people has warmed up to outside of his immediate people.”
“Kelsey was amazing with my two kitties. She offered to visit ahead of time to check out the set up and was on time and did all was necessary, played with kitties especially.”
About: I grew up with all types of dogs and quickly learned that they all had their own unique personalities and quirks. I later became dubbed a "dog psychologist", so fortunately it doesn't take long for dogs to warm up to me. I do not own a dog anymore and enjoy spending time with all types of dogs. Sometimes dogs do take time to settle in, so it's best to start out with a walk before taking them inside. I have access to a large enclosed rooftop patio to play or to get some sun. I have a lot of dog toys, but feel free to bring your own. I can also train doggos to do a few basic tricks, but I am not a professional. I will go running with dogs, if they can keep up. lol There are a lot of activities to do in my neighborhood, but when inside dogs love looking out my windows to watch all the people/dogs walk by and play with toys. I will go outside w them every couple hours. Im "working" from home on a part time basis, so I will spend a ton of time with your pet. I have decades of experience and great reviews. I try to respond to all requests immediately. I have a large extended family and they all leave their dogs with me. Thank you!! I'm up at 7 everyday, going for long walks every morning. I have a comfy "dog couch" that they are always welcome to use. I am home most of the day so your dog will not be left alone. If I have another dog scheduled during the time you requested, you will be informed so you can make the best decision for your four legged friend beforehand to ensure a safe environment for us all. I usually will take another walk at 10pm and then go to sleep. I take safety seriously. Sometimes it's best to do a meet and greet, but not always. I'm available to come to your place or I can watch your pet at my place. I do spend a lot of time on my enclosed rooftop, most dogs really enjoy this aspect of my place. I live near Gas Works and like to go there often. I try to immediately respond to any inquiries unless it's late at night. If you don't need boarding or day care you can also request a dog walk, or a check in. My rates are relatively low for these services.
About: Based in Seattle, I’m a creative professional who runs my design studio and online pet shop from home. Because I work from my living room, your dog becomes my full-time "office assistant," receiving constant attention, frequent potty breaks, and a calm, boutique environment. I offer high-touch, reliable care for those who want their pets to feel right at home while they’re away. Hi! Jess here — a visual designer, amateur pet photographer, and the artist behind an Etsy shop, that offers dog stickers and custom pet portraits. So yes, your pet’s stay with me will come with vacation-level care and a mini photoshoot! My friends call me the "dog whisperer" — I’m patient, observant, and deeply attuned to each pup’s needs. I treat every dog as if they were my own, always watching for signs of stress or discomfort and keeping you in the loop. I live with my Yorkiepoo, Mochi, who’s my daily adventure buddy. From sniff walks and puzzle play (even though he hates it and cheats all the time) to lazy cuddle time, I make sure pets in my care feel safe, loved, and at home. Your pup’s safety is my top priority — always on-leash outdoors (no matter how good their recall is), using a non-retractable leash for control in sudden situations. No risks, no shortcuts. Ever. At home, I’ve got multiple cozy donut beds, clean bowls, squeaky and non-squeaky toys (all Mochi’s—he's got a crazy dog mom). I always do a quick hygiene wipe after coming back from the outside and wash with dog shampoo if #2 is involved — vet-recommended and part of our daily routine. My one-bedroom condo is in a dog-friendly neighborhood with walkable parks nearby. It’s clean, calm, and made for cuddly guests.
“Can't say enough good things about Tanya and her care for our cat Pixel. She once again helped us on short notice (sorry about that!) and was wonderful with Pixel as always. Thank you again!”
“Braxton did a great job taking care of my cat Carmel while I was away. Carmel isn’t usually picky, but he definitely liked Braxton. I came home to a well-cared-for cat. On top of that, Braxton also helped me out in a pinch by mailing something important for me while I was away. I really appreciated his help and would absolutely book with him again!”
“Amaanda is amazing. She was quick to respond and paid us a visit to meet the kitties before the drop in date. She was very professional and courteous. We are very satisfied with her visit and will definitely reach out to her again.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets and house sitting since I was a kid, with over 15 years of hands-on experience including formal pet care and training. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and if I hadn’t ended up in tech, I probably would’ve become a vet! I work from home full-time, so your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I also have a fully fenced backyard, which is perfect for safe playtime during boarding stays. I have experience with pets of all ages and needs — from energetic puppies to senior dogs who just want a calm, cozy environment. I live with my fiancé and our 2-year-old mini doodle, Bear. He’s about 15 lbs of pure sweetness and loves other dogs, but he’s also very good at giving space to pups who prefer a quieter vibe. If you’re considering boarding, I always want to make sure you’re fully comfortable with him sharing the home. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority! Work from home, daily care with a wide open schedule! Always happy to go on daily walks and keep your pet company throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard and a sweet little doodle to keep your pet company. I also work from my computer, so quick to respond to messages and happy to send photos of your pet’s visit!
“Ponyo is a phenomenal person, has a great place/home for your dog. We’re came from California for our son’s wedding, and she accommodated our golden retriever like he was a family member. A+. Would recommend her in a moment. 10/10”
About: I got my first pup when I turned 11 and have cared for them ever since, going on 14 years of owning a pet. Both dogs and cats! I enjoy interacting with pets and making them feel special on walkies or just hanging out with them. I currently run a small business so I am able to set my own hours and attend to other things such as walking or caring for your pet. I have a fenced in yard and three fur children in my household. Two dogs and a cat. I can also crate if needed for your pet.
“My dog developed separation anxiety after our recent move, and he’s not always comfortable being watched by people, but he is so comfortable with Jill and Jacob! He is well cared for and gets really excited to see them when I drop him off now.”
About: I am comfortable with any dog, no matter the breed, age, activity level, or behavior! If your pup is dog friendly come join us for daycare! I offer pack walks with my pup as well as solo walks! I have experience with senior dogs as well as puppies! I have volunteered with shelter dogs in the past as well as experience working in daycare facilities and grooming salons! I can offer free bathing and brushing as well as nail and paw trims upon request! I currently am working as a junior groomer and typically am home all day during my days off unless I have something planned! During daycare we spend lots of time playing and going on adventures! I have all the time and attention to give to the pups! I treat every dog like they are my own! I believe every dog deserves the most respect! I give the dogs the highest level of my attention! I make sure to keep pet parents updated with lots of check ins and cute pictures of their pup! :)
“Vicki is extremely knowledgeable about all things dog and apllies this with all aspects of her care. She is wonderful and I feel very grateful to have found her.”
About: I consider myself to be a loving and caring person, saving the most room in my heart for dogs and other furry friends. Dogs have always been part of the family - from my grandparents’ tradition of always having a little white dog to caring for large rescue dogs with difficult pasts. I’m always sensitive to a dog’s feelings, trying to anticipate their needs and making sure they always feel safe and comfortable. This was most apparent in my relationship with my own dog, Fille, who passed in June 2025. She was a scared and traumatized rescue that was found lost wandering the desert in Arizona, but after adopting her in 2018 and spending 7 wonderful years together, she blossomed into a confident (albeit stubborn) pup who received lots of love and support so she could explore the world with me. During our last year together, I got first-hand experience with not only senior care but disabled dog care; Fille was living with partial paralysis in her hind legs, and so I learned how to best support her mobility on walks and take care of pain management, physical therapy, and other special needs as they arose. I would love to treat your dog with the same compassion and love and look forward to many future walks and visits! I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can care for pets on any schedule. I do sometimes travel for work, but my availability will surely be updated with plenty of advance notice to accommodate any pet parent’s needs! Pets would be allowed full range of my home, and I ensure that any potential hazards (cords, garbage, etc.) are properly stowed away and cannot be accessed by any four-legged friends. If desired, I have space to accommodate a kennel. Living very close to a big park, I’m an avid explorer of the grounds and loved to take breaks out there with my furry friend, Fille. My apartment building has a shared entrance, but I have a good rapport with my neighbors and can take any precautions if requested. There are stairs and a functioning elevator for any dogs with mobility issues.
“Erica was amazing! She was so kind and attentive to my puppy, Druid, and she was also very understanding and flexible with my somewhat fluid schedule. Druid came home happy and exhausted each night. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Shaneik does a fantastic job with our dog even though she’s got some separation anxiety issues. Shaneik makes sure she’s well taken care of and comfortable. She’s quickly become one of our top trusted sitters.”
“Anand was great with Lucy. She was very excited to meet him from the meet and greet and then for the actual stay. He sent pictures of their walks and just lounging around his apartment. I would definitely recommend him as he is a very good sitter.”
“Pablo and Patricia were amazing! They were able to watch Bear on very short notice, were super kind and communicative, and took great care of him. I really appreciate them helping out last minute. Thank you both!”
“Sofia was wonderful! She was super communicative throughout the day and was happy to accommodate some of the specific requests we have for our puppy around feeding and daily routines. We've found with our young GSP that not everyone is aware of some of the crazy that comes with high-energy breeds and puppies, but Sofia was fantastic. Our dog got plenty of exercise and activity, and we would definitely recommend her to anyone, especially if you have a working breed or younger dog.”
“Watson had a fantastic time with Alexandria and her pups. She did a great job at sending updates and photos throughout the day, and I felt very confident in leaving my little guy in her care. Would 10/10 recommend!”
“Allen was fantastic! He was available last minute and took great care of our pups. They went on multiple walks and came back tired and happy. We really appreciated getting videos during their stay.”

About: I rescued my dog Nina in 2017 after pet-sitting professionally through Rover for two years. I have experience with basic care, such as walking, feeding, medication administration, enforcing training and keeping dogs active. I am an attorney, currently self-employed and working from home, so I am available for all your pet's needs! Typically, I walk my dog in the morning and evening, with a potty-break or two scheduled in between walks. On occasion, we'll do a midday adventure at Greenlake or Discovery Park. My senior dog gets lots of long walks, healthy treats, scritches/pets/cuddles and play-time - I guarantee the same fun and loving treatment for your fur baby!
“Chandler was so awesome! She was able to accommodate last minute, and was very flexible when scheduling daily walks. She provided a ton of pictures and took such great care of my pup while I was gone. I would definitely recommend booking her for your pets needs!”
About: I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs through regular pet sitting and dog walking, including spending a lot of time with dogs I’ve grown close to over the years. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I enjoy taking the time to build trust with each animal I look after. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding routines, giving pets attention and companionship, and keeping owners updated so they can feel confident while they’re away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and prioritize making sure they feel cared for Im currently out of school for the summer, so I have plenty of time to be flexible. My schedule can suit your needs! Temp extra words. I am great at following instructions whether it’s feeding, walking, crating, or caring for a disabled pet. I will treat your pet with respect keep them out of harms way during walks or stays.
“Megan is the best!!! So caring, patient, and attentive. She sent a very thoughtful and detailed message update with photos of Finn looking happy as can be. She even took time out of her schedule for a meet & greet walk beforehand. So happy to have found a sweet walker we can rely on!! I highly recommend her for all pet care needs:)”
“I love Madison, as a trainer and dog walker! She's my go-to for care for my puppy. She's kind, professional, communicative, and balances the needs of the dogs she works with the concerns/challenges that us pet parents carry. My puppy is a challenge (high energy, reactive) and Madison really knows how to work with her. I can't recommend her enough.”
“Sebastian was communicative, attentive, professional and efficient. He listened to our specific needs (dog recovering from TPLO, sensitive stomach, pickup times) with care.”
“Maria was great! She showed up on time every day and sent photos and updates of my dog's walks. He looked happy, and I'm glad he got to get outside during my work day. I'll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Anessa is so friendly and easy to work with! Our dog Audrey adored her evening walks with her. Will definitely rebook the next time I have a business trip and need help with evening walks.”
“Eleni let me know as soon as she could take Callie and showed up right on time. I booked her very last minute since I was unexpectedly at home today. Callie came back happy and tired, which tells me it was a great walk!!”
About: Hi! My name is Sandra, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home where my mom is a veterinarian, so I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life. Our family has cared for around 10 dogs over the years, giving me experience with puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, small breeds, and dogs with different personalities and needs. Being around veterinary medicine taught me how important it is to pay attention to each pet’s behavior, routines, and overall well-being. While I am not a veterinarian myself, I understand the importance of providing safe, patient, and loving care and recognizing when something may need extra attention. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing outside, or simply relaxing at home, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you always know how your furry family member is doing. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide personalized care for your pets. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight stays, I’ll make sure your pet receives lots of attention, playtime, exercise, and companionship. I’m available on weekdays, weekends, and most holidays. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel secure and happy. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment, always follow your care instructions, and keep you updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind.
“Tanya is great! Professional, responsible, a good communicator, all around pleasant, and obviously knows her stuff about puppies! She did great on a walk with my 9 month old puppy! We can’t wait to see her again soon.”
About: I've cared for senior cats for friends, as well as my roommates' cats. I love cats of all ages and personalities, and I'm happy to give them the patience, attention, and care they deserve. I only work some weekends, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. Whether it's playtime or keeping them company at home, I'll make sure they feel safe and loved while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner's instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication, walks, playtime, and any special care your pet needs. I'll treat your home with respect, keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible, and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: My family's been dog sitting since I was 9, and I have always loved dogs. I have lots experience dog sitting all sorts of dogs for my neighbors, from french bulldogs to doodles! I also have a six year old dog of my own named Beethoven. I am a college student home for the summer, so I have lots of time to hang out with your dog! We can go for long walks around Greenlake and cuddle on the couch. I live in a house with a fenced yard in Wallingford. I have one dog and three other family members who will love hanging out with your dog! My dog Beethoven is a medium beagle shar pei mix who enjoys laying on the couch contemplating existence and going for long walks.
About: I’ve had pets in the house since I was born, I love animals and have been trusted to walk, and house sit for many people in my neighborhood. I love all cats and dogs and would love to work with yours. I am currently a college student at Pomona College. I am very much a morning person and most of my classes start around 10am. This leaves plenty of time in the morning for animal visits. Additionally, all my classes are over by 4pm. In my home we are very careful of our pets safety and I would love to do the same for yours. I always make sure my pets are well exercised and I understand how important that is to a dog and their family.
About: I've grown up with and around animals my whole life. From the time I was a little girl, my love for animals have been deep rooted in me. We had a Rottweiler and a golden lab when I was growing up. When I moved to San Francisco, I volunteered at a kennel for 2 years and got to take care of and train puppies! I also worked at a doggy day care for 2 years, which was one of the best jobs I've ever had. Dogs are misunderstood a lot of the time, and I love being able to connect and give them the love and patience they deserve. Your dog/dogs are in good hands with me and I will treat them like my own! :)
About: I love dogs! Happy to take care of walking, feeding, giving all the back rubs and tummy scratches that your furry best friend wants and needs! I’m currently working remote in Seattle where I have all the free time and would love to help you and your furry friend out + potentially me some exercise haha!! I care for pets in my home by making sure they have a comfy place to hangout and play with whatever toys are provided. I will walk the dog at the park right next to my house and feed them at the requested times. At the client’s home, I will follow all required instructions and play with your dog as much as they’ll let me!!

“Emily was an incredible sitter for my golden retriever, Scout! She went above and beyond, taking Scout on long walks every day and making sure her eye drop routine was handled with care. Emily even set up a cozy seating area so Scout could sit beside her while she worked from home, making her feel completely at ease. Scout was happy, well cared for, and even seemed a little extra attached when I got home! Highly recommend Emily for anyone looking for a thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter!”
“They were very excited to watch Pepper. These are Dog People who stopped at nothing to make sure Pepper was well exercised and well taken care of. Will be booking with them again”
“Leah is such a dog lover. She’s the perfect match for Maya’s energy, which swings from full throttle to full snuggle time. Love the pictures Leah sends during the stay. We appreciate Leah’s wonderful care for our sweet and silly girl!”
About: I’ve always loved dogs for as long as I can remember. And I have a 2 year old golden retriever, named Honey, and raising him from a puppy to now has been the most rewarding experience. He loves to make new friends!! We live in a spacious 1 bedroom apartment with a large park just 1 block away. We go on 4-5 walks per day and we’d love to have your pup join us! I am currently working from home so my schedule is very flexible during the week. And on the weekends, I can make myself available as well for walks, play time drop ins, boarding, etc. I can guarantee your pet will receive so much care and attention. Please reach out with your specific needs and details for your pet so I can be aware!
“Marden is amazing with Lobo and Lobo loves him back since Marden has a lot of experience and patience to teach Lobo how to behave better. Lobo enjoys staying with Marden since he gets to meet and play with other dogs. We have scheduled dog boarding with Marden many times now.”
“Jessica was great with Boomer! Boomer loved her stay with her. Jessica is very responsive and communicative. Kept us updated all the time with photos and videos. She took care of her teeth cleaning everyday at our request too! I would highly recommend her and will booker again!”
“Felix was an incredible dog-sitter! Shared lots of photos and videos, plus humorous 2x daily summaries of our quirky dog’s adventures, leaving me confident our Pug was having fun, well loved and cared for! Our dog got along great with Felix and his Boxer! Felix provided prompt and thorough feedback. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
“Always an amazing experience with Joann and her pups! Our pup doesn’t even look back when we drop him off 🤣 he loves stays with Joann and her family! They are kind, responsive, and provide excellent care that gives us ease of mind while traveling.”
“1st time overnight away for our 7 month portuguese water dog. Although a well behaved youngster he is extremely high energy and VERY attached to his owner. Our worries that the stay might not go well for dog or sitter were, I am delighted to report, absolutely unfounded. Kandice and her family gave Zorian affection and attention he needed and playing with her 2 dogs was the closest thing to dog heaven as far as Zorian was concerned. We were very happy with Kandice and Zorian will be staying with her for few weeks when we travel this summer.”
“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.”
“Wendie and her son Michael are awesome! From the very beginning I knew my dog Norman was going to get so much attention and love. The 1:1 time is awesome because there are no other dogs to compete for human attention. Wendie was always sharing updates of their adventures and activities together. Norman really seemed like part of their family and I’m sure he was sad to leave. Thanks so much again, Wendie for taking such good care of my boy.”
“Nathan was great throughout the booking, from the meet & greet to Lucy’s overnight stay. He communicated well and was quite flexible! Lucy seemed to have a great time. Thank you!”
“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!”
“Excellent service - provided frequent updates, knowledgeable handling of dogs, handled a tummy issue, and took good care of our pup. No hesitation to go back again in the future”
“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.”
