Doggy Day Care Anchor Mill

About: I have fostered over 250 amazing dogs, mostly seniors and special needs, so I have experience with most any medical or behavioral care. I have had dogs ages newborn to 16+ in my care, so I have experience with all the life stages. I have experience training dogs of all sizes, from 5 pounds to 150 pounds. I believe that my calming presence around animals set me apart to earn their trust. I am home nearly 24/7 and spend most of that with my personal pets or farm animals, so being with your pet would just be added into my routine. I have a fenced in yard. While my small inside dogs are very friendly, I am comfortable with separating if needed using crates or gates. My inside dogs are 10 pounds and under. Pets have access to all areas of my home, with supervision.

“Crystal was amazing. She sent beautiful photos of my babies while they were running, laughing and playing. I know that they would love to keep her. I told them that she is nice and cute, but she is still a human. It is hard for them to understand. So we let her go back home.we all hope that she comes back someday and spreads happiness like sunshine across our home again. She was like a guardian angel as she came to their rescue. She slayed loneliness and sadness with the sword of happiness, bla, bla, bla. Hope to have you visit again, Lady O.????????❤️”

About: Hi! I’m a high school teacher who teaches culinary arts. At home, I have a golden retriever, Saffron and a Labradoodle, Leo. I live on 2 1/2 acres, one of which is fenced in and perfect for furry friends to run and play! I am a teacher and gone from 7 am to 3:30 pm, but my parents live next door and watch my animals when I am away. Growing up, my brother had a service dog who was part Great Dane and part Black Lab. He became part of the family! I think that’s what started my love for animals. Since college, I’ve had at least one pet. While in Culinary school, I worked long hours. For Christmas, I got my cat, Basil. She was at the door with a “meow” at the end of long days in the kitchen. When I began my career as a culinary teacher, I bought my first house with a back yard and almost immediately added my girls, Sage and Sketch to the household! I work full time as a high school teacher. but live next door to my parents who watch over my pets. They love them as if they were their own! I have an acre, fenced in back yard. My dogs love the country, running and playing in the back yard! They are house dogs, but love the chance to run as much as possible.

“Whitney and Andrew took great care of my Frenchie! She seemed to have a great time with them!”

“We can’t speak highly enough of Adrienne! Our pups love going over to her house for boarding or for day care. We know they are so well taken care of and absolutely spoiled like they deserve! She sends adorable photos to update us on how everything is going, and always seems so kind and genuinely compassionate for our doggos. We are so happy to have found her for all our pet care needs!”

“Rhea loved her time with them!! She came home nice and worn out from playing all day and Kaitlin sent plenty of updates throughout the day as well! ☺️☺️”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover and proud Rover Star Sitter with four years of experience and consistent 5-star reviews. Caring for dogs isn't just something I do; it's something I truly enjoy. Long before I joined Rover, I was the go to pet sitter for my family and friends whenever they traveled. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I have experience with basic training, nutrition, and helping dogs feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. Because I work remotely from home, your dog won't be left alone for long periods. I have the flexibility to provide regular potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, and, of course, plenty of attention throughout the day. I know every dog is different, and I do my best to keep their routine as close to home as possible. After losing my own sweet dog a few years ago, I kept all of her favorite beds, blankets, and cozy spots. Your pup is welcome to make themselves at home. Whether that's curling up on a dog bed, relaxing on the couch, or exploring my securely fenced backyard. Well behaved dogs are treated like part of the family while they're here. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make sure your dog feels happy, loved, and well cared for from the moment they arrive until it's time to go home. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I work remotely from home and have a flexible schedule. That allows me to provide regular potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day instead of leaving pets alone for long hours. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to keep them happy, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In my home, dogs are treated like family. They have plenty of comfortable places to relax, access to my securely fenced backyard for supervised play and potty breaks, and lots of love and attention throughout the day since I work from home. I follow your feeding schedule, exercise routine, medication instructions (if needed), and any special preferences you have to help your dog feel right at home.

“Communication was amazing and we will definitely be booking again in the future! Our pup has separation anxiety and knowing (and seeing because of cute update pictures) how well he did has shown us how comfortable he is with others without us there.”

“Great location and residence. Jenny is the best. My love connected with her immediately. I would highly recommend her. Really trust her with my pooch.”

About: Hi, I’m Carrie! 🐾 Animals have always been at the heart of my life. For over 2 years I’ve volunteered at my local animal shelter, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. That hands-on experience taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of treating every pet like family. Currently, I’m home full-time caring for my sweet senior dog, Sophia (15 years old, living with Cushing’s Disease). Making sure she is comfortable and loved has given me an even deeper appreciation for the trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. Because I’m at home, I can dedicate all the time and attention your dog deserves. Here’s what you can expect when your pet stays with me: Lots of love & attention – every pet is treated like my own family. No crating (unless required by you or for very brief times when I must step out). Safe, comfortable environment tailored to your pet’s needs. Experience with senior and special-needs dogs who may require extra patience and care. Regular updates & photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, snuggles on the couch, or simply a calm and caring presence, I’m here to provide the same quality of care I give my own beloved Sophia. Your pup’s happiness, safety, and comfort will always be my top priority. ❤️ I'm currently out of work to care for my senior girl, Sophia, that has had some complications with Cushing's Disease. Your pet will be under my full-time loving care at my home, or in your home. I offer both services. Your pet will only be crated when I need to step out momentarily. In my home, pets are part of the family! 🐾 I have a fully fenced one-acre yard where they can safely run and play, and when the weather’s nice, we’ll spend lots of time outside together. Indoors, your pup will be right by my side, whether that’s hanging out in the kitchen watching me cook or relaxing nearby. I don’t crate unless you request it or for brief times when needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick to their routine and give them plenty of attention, exercise, and love so they feel safe and comfortable until you’re back.

“One of the best experiences I've had on Rover. Maggie was absolutely amazing and it was easy and fuss free. Molly was well cared for and perfectly happy. So pleased!”

“Erika Leigh and Erik are simply the best! As first-time dog owners, leaving our very loved 2-year-old Lab, Ruger, was a huge step for us. He has never been left with a sitter or alone for more than a few hours. He’s truly our family sidekick and goes almost everywhere with us. We had an all-day family event to attend and decided it would be best to leave him with a sitter for the day. Since it was a last-minute need, we were so grateful to find Erika Leigh and Erik on Rover. They were incredibly accommodating and graciously welcomed us to bring Ruger over beforehand so he could meet them, explore their home, and so they could answer all of our questions. From the beginning, their communication was outstanding. They responded quickly before our booking and kept us updated throughout the day with messages and photos of Ruger having a great time. Those updates gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to fully enjoy our family event without worrying about him. It was clear that Ruger was well cared for and treated like one of their own. We couldn’t have asked for a better first sitter experience and would not hesitate to book with Erika Leigh and Erik again. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitters!”

Michelle S.

“Kristen was wonderful! She had great communication prior and during the stay, and I would definitely recommend her to watch your dog. She greeted us outside when we arrived and again when we picked up our dog, which made everything feel very welcoming and personal. Our dog was well cared for, and we would absolutely use her again if we need another pet sitter. Thank you, Kristen!”

About: My name is Isabella, a stay-at-home mom of three who has always been surrounded by animals. Growing up in Colombia, I began caring for pets at the age of 15, starting with my family, friends, and neighbors. My love for animals led me to work with nonprofit organizations for years. Now that I’m in the USA, I’m excited to bring my experience and passion for animals to you and your pets. I have a dog, a cat, and a ferret at home, so I understand how much pets mean to a family. I’m committed to providing each pet with the best care possible and treating them as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting your furry family members! As a stay-at-home mom, pet care is naturally woven into my daily routine. My availability is completely open and flexible, always depending on your needs! Living on two acres of country land, I provide pets with a spacious and safe environment. I have crates (if needed) and a play pen to ensure their comfort and security. Pets receive regular meals, fresh water, and plenty of playtime in a nurturing and relaxed setting.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a child and have spent my life around pets. Through years of owning and caring for dogs, I’ve gained experience with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and providing daily care and companionship. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will treat every pet as if they were my own. I work from home so I have plenty of time to play with and care for your pup! My availability is open 7 days a week! I have a dog park in my community. Plenty of time for walks & playtime(indoors and outdoors) I can also crate your baby if needed.

“Amanda is wonderful, Bruno enjoys going to her house. Communication is easy and Amanda is so flexible with my unpredictable work schedule. Thank you so much!”

About: Every dog is different, and I believe their care should be too. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and preferences so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. Whether your dog is playful, laid back, anxious, a puppy, or a senior, I’m happy to adjust my care to fit their individual needs. I understand that leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful, and I do everything I can to make the experience comfortable for both you and your dog. Whether you have a calm companion or a high-energy working breed that thrives on activity and engagement, I’m happy to tailor my care to fit their individual needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first. I never assume unfamiliar dogs will get along simply because they’re friendly. Introductions are done slowly, interactions are always supervised, and I’m happy to separate dogs whenever needed. Every dog deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and respected during their stay.

“The attention and care Luke receives is 5* all the way. I get pix throughout the day and along with playing with other pups in a secure fenced back yard, they each get a walk in their neighborhood. Luke comes home tired and happy.”
