“As always, Esther an family provide wholesome and loving care for my dog Elsa, who can be a handful at times. I totally trust that my dog is getting the best of care.”
“Really impressed with the time and care spent with our dog . Lynn is a top tier pet sitter and we will be using her again. Thank you for taking such good care of our dog, Merlin says he would love to stay with you again, as well! He loved his side by side rides!”
“We were so impressed with the whole experience, from start to finish. Rachel was great! Communicated quickly to get set up, sent pictures while we were away and was very easy to work with regarding drop off and pickup. Bella had a wonderful stay! Thank you!!”
“Rebel and Bruce were awesome with Gidget! You can tell the really have a passion for taking care of dogs. We got frequent updates and pictures, and were immediately put at ease that we made the right choice. It was our first experience with Rover, or having a stranger watch our Gidget, so we were nervous at first, but I could not be happier with the choice we made. She was very well loved and cared for while we were gone. Being a senior dog, Gidget can have some challenges, but Rebel was wonderful, and Gidget came home extremely relaxed and well behaved. I would book with Rebel again in a heartbeat!”
About: I have owned many types of dogs, mainly under 40 pounds as I am only 5’3. I am an animal lover and always will be. I have a lot of common sense and will take good care of your pet. My husband and I are retired and available most of the time. I like to garden, go camping and hang out with my dogs. We have grandchildren that visit often and I love a good mystery novel. I have a clean single level home with a fenced in back yard. I live on a dirt road. I have two friendly spoiled spaniels. Both of our dogs are house trained and would prefer your dog to be house trained as well. Our dogs have free access to our house but sleep in a kennel at night. If the weather permits they have free access to the fenced in yard as well (doggy door)
About: One of my dogs lived to 16 years old and needed lots of care as she got older so ive had experience with older dogs, and my other dog was aggressive and from the shelter and needed LOTS of training, we also have a smaller dog as well, so I'd like to say I've had experience with all different types of situations and dogs I work another full time job so I am mostly free towards the evenings from 3pm to 7pm , and on the weekends depending on my schedule I would treat them as my family member and as if they were my own dog cause that's how I would want someone to treat mine as well
