“We have a 5 month old Saint Bernard and after trying doggy day care at a commercial kennel, we knew we wanted to try something a little more personal. We chose Scott and his wife for our first experience with Rover, and it was the best choice! We met for a meet and greet before hand and instantly felt comfortable. Scott lives on a quiet street and has a large back yard for the dogs to enjoy. They sent us several pictures during the day of them going on walks and playing with other puppies. It definitely made the experience better seeing him so comfortable in the photos. We look forward to building our relationship with Scott, his wife Jessica and all their puppy friends in the future!”

“Rex loves going to daycare at Samantha’s. He really cries on the days he doesn’t get to go. Samantha sends updates through the day including pictures and videos. I never have to worry when Rex is at Samantha’s. I know he is happy playing with his friends and being spoiled by Samantha.”
3. Jessica T.
“Jessica absolutely wore him out [in such a good way!]. He got the exercise he needed, and it was a blessing to be able to pick him up, take him home and fully relax!”
4. Evan H.
“Our Golden boy, Yaz, had a great time with Evan and his family! Yaz is very much a family dog, so he adjusted well to the loving family environment at Evan's. I have now booked stays for 2 different dogs at Evan's, both of them were well cared for, and I trust him and his family implicitly. Highly Recommended!”

About: I’m the friend that’s relied on for training support. Puppy, Senior citizen, separation anxiety to adoptee experience; 10+ years. I’m passionate about learning new training techniques, implementing, and teaching. Every dog and companion deserves to understand each other. I have a 3 year old xl breed. Every day we focus on consistency and communication. I personally focus on the individual needs specific to my companions for the best life experience. From avid exercise to slow paced walks to muscle and joint massage and even reinforcing habits that create healthy confidence. I love paying attention to body language and understanding what it means for a companion as well as the companion’s caretaker and being able to provide comfort and training techniques based off of that. I can’t wait to be a certified dog trainer and help people understand there’s no such thing as a bad or impossible breed. It’s all about understanding, communication, implementation, and consistency. My goal is to keep your companions day as regular and consistent as possible. We will be on time for walks, they will get a lot of attention, I love animal body language so I’ll be able to build a connection with your companion based on their comfortability level, and I prefer to go by your rules. I understand no dogs on couches and I also fully support couch cuddles. It’s all about your companions happiness and well being along with providing ease and comfort for you and I will make sure to provide everything you need to maintain that. I chose a neighborhood great for king walks and close to downtown for easy access to greys lake. apartment that offered a dog park for comfortable potty breaks. And being right next to greys lake offers great adventures. I can crate if required, as I crate my 2 yr old for his safety. I encourage as many “rules” and your guidance to abide by to make your companions day to day as regular and enjoyable as possible. This is all about you guys and making your lives easy and comfortable.

8. Shelly E.
“Shelly is the absolute best! She has been helping me with my 3 year old lab since May. She walks him a couple times a week and picks him up from daycare as well! He’s made frequent trips to pick up her kids from school and a few trips to Starbucks for a pup cup. She not only takes care of Gus, she also brings in package from my door step and leaves the house how it was when I left that morning. She makes sure to leave the tv and a light on for him when she drops him off from daycare and also makes sure he has plenty of water. Gus adores her and her daughter! HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend!”
9. Alexandra H.
“Ali is THE only pet sitter we ever use. Two cats AND two large dogs to stress about while we're out of town is a lot but there are ZERO worries when I have Ali taking care of them. She's great about communicating if she has any questions. She always pays close attention to the instructions we leave and doesn't mind going "out of her way" to hang out for some cat cuddles and a dog pile! Highly recommend her for any stressed pet parents planning a get-away!”

You can tell she loves doing her job.”

17. Dana H.
“Dana was able to accommodate a last minute request on a Holiday weekend. Very responsive with messages and remained very flexible with drop off and pick up times. Theo and Piper returned home completely exhausted and very content! They enjoyed their stay! I would definitely recommend Dana to all fur parents!”
18. McKenzie G.
“McKenzie and Mike are by far the best sitters I could have asked for. I had a bad experience prior and am so happy to have found them. I knew my puppy was in good hands when I dropped him off in the morning. Leaving your pup with someone for 12 hours can be stressful but I knew he was safe! He received lots of play time, went on many walks and of course received tons of snuggles. Definitely recommend them for doggy daycare!”
19. Emily S.
“Emily is great! She loves my two dogs like they're her own. Super compassionate and puts their needs first. They look forward to seeing her and I can relax while I'm away knowing they're in good hands. It seems like she truly pet sits because she loves animals, not just for extra cash. We can't wait to use her again.”
