“Vicky and Mark are truly wonderful humans who love dogs and just want to provide them loving care while you're away. They made sure every need Finchy had was tended to as well as provided comfort while she was missing me. They were sure to send many pictures so I could be assured that everything was okay and Finch was having a good time. Definitely will be depending on them for all my dog care needs in the future.”


“James was amazing. He accepted my booking with less than 24 hour notice. His yard is huge and there’s lots of room for your puppies to run and play. Answer my question in a very timely matter and he sent me pictures of my boy. I definitely will be booking with James again.”


“Kirsten and her husband were absolutely amazing. Very personable and very compassionate with my dog. Nice yard for the dogs to run. I absolutely will using her services again the future. Thank you guys so much!”


“My very first time time ever using this type of boarding with our new pup of 8 months old. Lacey the mini golden was well cared for. I appreciated the communication and fun pics received showing us how she was doing. Thank you!!”


“Nathan & Jenna are amazing hosts. Kora was not over excited during her stay but is missing her host & friends when back home. Nathan was sharing frequent videos for Kora daily and also, picked/dropped her off.”


“Wrigley had a great time at Janine's house. This was the first time we left our 12 yr old dog while we went on vacation, so we were a little anxious. Janine sent us pictures and updates while we were away which really eased our minds. I will definitely leave Wrigley with Janine again, She is great!!”


“Our Rosie Girl fell in love with Gail at first sight. We picked up a very happy doggy who spent two nights with Gail. Our usual kennel near home was all booked up and Gail was able to accomodate us with only a couple of days advance notice. Rosie was not exhausted after staying with Gail the way she comes home from kennels. Rosie felt comfortable with Gail and apparently slept well. Gail is a real animal lover and has a lot of experience with animals. Gail also texted us a photo of our dog enjoying herself which made us feel a sigh of relief that we did not have to worry about her while we attended to other obligations. We will definitely take Rosie back to Gail in the future. :-)”


“Cassie kept me informed about how Rocky was doing at least once a day while we were away. She sent me pictures that showed he was truly enjoying his time with her & her family. My heart was full knowing he was safe and loved while we traveled. Our boy can be very needy, so for him to actually be loved on & not just thrown in a cage for the majority of the time, means a lot to us. He got to play all weekend with her dogs as well, which I know he really enjoyed. We appreciate everything Cassie did for Rocky and we look forward to using her again for any future travel needs! 🥰”


“Kayla did a great job of taking care of my dog Baxter! We were gone for just over a week on vacation out of the country. She sent pictures every day and he looked so happy! There was a minor hiccup in the beginning with my dog being territorial but she handled it so well! I will definitely be booking her again!”


“Miranda was amazing! This was my first time using rover and was nervous to leave my dog with a stranger, but Miranda exceed all expectations and calmed all worries! She gave many updates and was always quick to respond! Gauging from the photos she sent, it looks like my pup had an excellent time! You can tell she truly has a passion and a love of taking care of animals. I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing someone to watch their pet.”


“While Olivia was very glad to be home, I know that she was well taken care of while I was gone. Doug followed the feeding instructions that I gave him and I hear that she had plenty of walking. I hope he is available for future occasions when I am gone. I have already tipped him on pick-up.”


“Kristin and her family did a wonderful job with our dog. He is often unsure of other animals but acclimated well to the household from what she said. He was very happy when we picked him up”


“We loved Vicki and her husband and so did Rudy! He ran off with her as soon as we got there and that was enough to put me at ease. He had a wonderful time and they treated him as their own. She sent pics during his stay and was in touch often, which I appreciated so much! Her home is lovely and we will 100% be bringing Rudy back for future stays! :)”


“I was very nervous to leave my dog with a "stranger" but Tiffany was fantastic! she was very responsive to questions and provided updates while we were away! Thank you for taking such good care of our baby!!”


“This was our first time using Rover and I was really nervous! My dog had never stayed anywhere else besides being boarded at a vets office. I was super thankful when I came across Jenny’s profile and saw all of the other great reviews. My dog came back from her house and he had such a great time! Typically when he’s boarded, he comes back home an anxious mess and this wasn’t the case. Her communication was great and I just really appreciate the whole experience. I have peace of mind for all future travel plans now!”


“Justin took our dog Perry on short notice before a holiday and was fantastic. Super easy to work with, flexible, and communicative throughout the two weeks. Perry’s an anxious pup, and Justin handled him with care and patience. Highly recommend.”


About: I've been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old, so you could say it's in my blood. Over the years, I've learned so much about their different personalities and needs. One of the most special dogs in my life was my own, who lived to the incredible age of 18. He was a constant companion and taught me so much about loyalty and love. That experience really shaped my approach to dog care, making me extra attentive and dedicated to their well-being. I also have experience with cats and rabbits as well. I usually work my other job in the mornings, but I can be flexible to fit your schedule. Let me know what times work best for you, and I'll do my best to accommodate! Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I always make sure they have a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I follow their regular feeding and exercise routines, and I'm always attentive to their individual needs and quirks. Lots of playtime, cuddles, and positive reinforcement are definitely part of the deal!

About: I've had dogs all my life, ranging in age from just born (my childhood dog had puppies) to end of life with many medications. My current princess doggy finds other doggies beneath her notice, which also means she won't bother them. My youngest son is 15 and loves dogs - he will be doing most of the playing with and feeding doggie guests. He has also had dogs all his life, and his preveterinary student sister on speed-dial. I work remotely so I'm home all day for during the day care and pets. My son is in high school and marching band so most of the vigorous play and walks will be outside of those times. I have a fenced in yard with a doggy door for easy of potty breaks. The doggy door leads into the dining room / kitchen area that can be closed off, keeping young or elderly puppers on an easy-to-clean floor. If your doggy has a crate or bed that they are accustomed to, bring that and we'll set it up for them in that space. If your pup wants company overnight, they can snuggle with my son.

“Jennifer deserves 6 stars! We left our pup Lizzie overnight for the first time since we adopted her from a rescue a year ago. Jennifer's warmth and professionalism put us all at ease from the first meeting. She has years of experience caring for dogs and communicated with us regularly before and during the stay. Lizzie received tons of attention, walks and extra cuddles during the thunderstorm. When we arrived, it was obvious that Jennifer had made her feel right at home. We would not hesitate to recommend Jennifer, and will definitely leave Lizzie with her in the future.”
