About: Hi! My name is Stephanie, and my husband, three kids (3, 7, and 10) and I are so excited to love your dog while you’re away! A Roof for Ruffs is the brainchild of our 10yo daughter. We are a foster family for a local dog rescue organization where we take in one or two dogs at a time until they can find their forever homes. We’re having so much fun with fostering that our sweet girl suggested we take on paying clients between our fosters, and donate some of the proceeds to the same local dog rescue organization. ♥️ I’ve owned dogs my whole life. Between fostering, petsitting for family, neighbors and friends, and caring for my own pups, I have experience with all ages—from very young puppies to seniors and everything in between; small and large breeds; well-behaved and questionable; medical cases, and even the occasional cat. 😱 Your dog’s vacay siblings for their stay will include a 2yo female Great pyr/St. Bernard rescue pup, and two 4yo guinea pigs. We are so very excited to meet your dog, and to treat them like family for their stay. My husband works full time, but I am a freelance writer with flexible hours working from home while caring for our three kids. In other words: your pup won’t be left alone often! 😆 **Please note: all pets must have proof of updated vaccines and be okay with kids (they will be loved on and spoiled by our kiddos while they’re here!) I am home daily with my kids, so lots of potty breaks and playtime is possible throughout the day. We are available most weekdays or weekends unless blocked while we have a foster or for travel. We have a 4-foot aluminum fence in the backyard and live on a public park with a walking trail for easy exercise options. We have extra dog crates here if your pup is crate-trained or feel free to bring your own.

“Melissa was great with both my dogs. She sent daily updates with pics which I loved so much. She was very friendly and her animals were sweet as well. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a place to bring their dogs while they are out of town.”

“Melody was so great with our dogs & they loved their stay. Her yard was perfect with a great fence & she was able to accommodate our high energy girl by taking her on walks. Would definitely recommend Melody & we so appreciate the care she showed our dogs while we were gone.”

“Thank you Khanh for your service. Our experience with you was wonderful. Thank you for sending us pictures and updates on Shumu everyday that we're gone. Now we're not hesitating to go on more trips knowing he is well taken care of. We appreciate you very very much. Looking forward to seeing you again. Shumu”

“Kerstin is absolutely the BEST! Her and her family treated our energetic 20 month old German Shepard like if he was part of their family. She sent us pictures and updates on him every day. She is amazing with pets and has so much patience. We were so happy to find her she gave us such a relief on our 1st time vacation after getting Slinky. Definitely will be taking Slinky to Kerstin in a future. Don’t overthink it she is the BEST!!!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 Akash was a wonderful sitter. Our dog stayed with her for two overnights, and she took amazing care of her. She was attentive, reliable, and sent us plenty of updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”

“Luca had a good time at Ron. And we were happy that he was at a safe place. From the video and photo Ron send we could see how comfortable our pup was. Thanks Ron and family.”

About: I have dedicated my life and career to caring for dogs. I started dog sitting at 12 years old. I have cared for dogs from months old to fifteen years old. I have been certified as a basic obedience trainer, interned at a dog training company participating in classes from puppy to agility, and I have worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility. I have experience giving dogs oral medication, but I have not done any injection medications. I am looking to make this my full time job. I do have one dog of my own to care for, but other than him, my schedule is completely open to caring for your pets. I live in an apartment with a park right next to it, perfect for walking my dog and yours. I have one friendly male dog who believes all dogs want to be his best friend. He has toys littering the floor available for anyone to play with, and he has never had resource guarding behavior; if your dog has the toy he will just watch and wait his turn, or try to get another toy they can both play with. I have trained him with positive reinforcement techniques, meaning there are plenty of treats around for the good boys and girls. He is allowed on all furniture and has the choice to sleep in the human bed, which means your pup will have the same privileges. When I go to a clients home I will follow their rules to the letter. I walk their dogs before feeding or keep the pets off the furniture if that’s what they want. I want to apply the same rules to your pets when you’re out of the house so they don’t start showing any unwanted behavior.

About: I’ve always loved dogs and know how hard it can be to find the time to do everything for them. I teach my old dog new tricks all the time! Sometimes 5 minutes is all they need. Not all dogs are lazy bones and with the more active dogs I love taking walks in the area. I’m a student working part time and lucky enough to have breaks throughout the day to find time to spend with some of your furry friends I have a cozy yard with a lead around a tree that can hold up to 100 pounds for the night time. During the day I live in a community that I can take relaxing walks around. In your home I will make sure your pet feels comfortable. Your dogs routine is important and if long walks are better than short ones I will adapt to your dogs needs!

“We were so happy with the care Kristine and her family gave our dog. He was pampered and loved playing in the fenced yard. He even got some dog-friendly bday cake. Our dog is blind so he needs a little tlc and he was definitely given that. We highly recommend and will use again.”

“Leslee was great! Our Australian Shepherd mix doesn't always get on with other dogs, so we wanted someone without other pets, which can be hard to find sometimes. Thankfully, we found Leslee and she took great care of our girl while we're gone for a week. We got pictures almost every night, and communication with Leslee was great. If we find ourselves going on another trip where we have to leave our pup home, we'll definitely be looking to see if Leslee is available!”

“Great customer service, prompt and friendly communications, and wonderful relationship with my Dog! I have now become a repeat customer because of these facts. Highly recommend.”

About: I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. I'm reliable, communicative, and always happy to send updates and pictures so you can relax knowing your dog is in great hands!! I’m currently working part time and in school mostly online. I only work 3 days a week, and during work can find time to take care of my furry friends! I have a fenced in yard, and a small yorkie to keep your baby company! Multiple dog bowls, and on hot days a baby pool!

“Cooper had a great time with Alyssa and was very well cared for and safe. We got updates on how he was doing which helped us miss him a little less. I highly recommend Alyssa and we will be using her in the future.”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life growing up to adulthood. I currently have a 2 cats - Benny & Banks and a Cane Corso - Bentley! I love animals and caring for them and spoiling them when I have extra ones. I’m a trustworthy person and looking to help out those in my community with great care for your pets while you’re away I currently have a pretty open schedule for the most part for all days of the week. I am a property manager in Peoria and mostly work virtual except for the times I have to maintenance the properties. I am free most mornings, evenings, and nights. I have a fenced backyard and my gentle giant Bentley to keep your furry ones occupied while you’re away! We crate our dog when we are out. They will get plenty of love snuggles and treats in our home. I’m also a very trust worthy person with a clean record for someone to trust in your home while you’re away.

“Melissa was incredible and so easy to communicate with My dog got to play with her lovely puppy! And they both were tiring each other out! The yard was a bonus! Melissa sent updates regularly and kept up with my puppy Keanu Reeves! Will use again! She was amazing!”
