“I have never left my Daisy with anyone. Barb and her family were perfect. She met with us before and made us feel very comfortable. She sent me updates on how Daisy was. Sent me pictures and made the whole process so easy. I will definitely be leaving our loved puppies with her again.”

“Ariana took care of Zeus like he was her own!! When my family and I go out of town again, Ariana is my choice for watching Zeus.! She took pictures of him and sent me a play by play on how he was doing!! I recommend Ariana if you are looking for someone that shows the care!!! 😊”

“Dropped Shyloh off & he automatically fit in, got updates and pictures throughout his stay, he seemed really happy and tired out at pick up so that means he had a good time, thank you!”

“Stephanie Was amazing. I had a family emergency and she was available at last minute. Stephanie provided updates and photos of my dog Kovo. Even gave him a treat ☺️ I greatly appreciate her time and patience with my dog kovo. Thank you Stephanie.”


“Contacted Simone a few days before I needed a sitter for my two dogs and she was able to watch them overnight! It was pretty last minute so I was so happy she was able to watch them! She responded quickly, and kept in contact while I was away. Will definitely have her watch Louie and Sam again!”
About: I’ve been helping take care of dogs since I was in high school and want to help more people around my neighborhood and other communities with dog care. I’ve helped with a handful of different types of dogs and aside from dog care love helping out however I can. I’m currently working part time as security for special events. I am also enrolled in college online, but would like to take advantage of my free time helping others. I have a fenced yard and a dog husky mix of my own but she is extremely friendly even towards puppies, playful, or dogs that can be aggressive sometimes. I also have a garage in my backyard thats been converted to a room for me and the dogs I watch overnight or on weekends for friends or family. Aside from somewhere comfortable to sleep I make sure the dogs go on walks, get play time in the yard, and are hydrated/fed.
“Emily was a great last minute sitter on our way to Vegas. She sent frequent updates and my puppers looked so happy running around just like at the dog park in her spacious backyard. I entered the pretty big neighborhood on the way back through Phelen and Lilac, much shorter time you have to be on dirt roads and roads were much better. Thank you Emily!”

“This was my first time using Rover & boarding our puppy. I was nervous but my puppy immediately took to them ! They were helpful with helping me get our pups kennel from my car and reassured me that Milo was in safe hands ! They updated me and sent pictures . We will be going again in the future b”

“Dakota was great with our dog. He had never been boarded outside of family so finding someone we could trust and feel comfortable to handle him was important to us. So glad we found Dakota. We will be back!”

“I am really glad I chose Tekandi to take care of my Storm. He kept me updated on all the fun things they did such as the dog park, hiking etc. I will definitely return to him as a customer. I know my Storm enjoyed his time. Thankyou!”
“Raelena was very kind to my two dogs and sent many pictures. She was very accommodating to small changes in drop off/ pick up times. My dogs looked to be very happy under her care. Highly recommend...”

About: Hi! I’m Rachel, a dedicated dog caregiver with hands on experience training and caring for dogs since 2018. Dogs have been a central part of my life for years, and I specialize in providing calm, structured, and attentive care in a home environment. I have extensive experience working with puppies, adolescents, and adult dogs of all sizes, including high energy breeds and dogs who benefit from routine, boundaries, and positive reinforcement. I’m especially comfortable with puppies and understand how important consistency, supervision, and age-appropriate stimulation are during those early months. My home offers a safe, enriching environment with fully fenced front and back yards with artificial grass, plenty of room for supervised play, and indoor space for rest and downtime. Dogs in my care enjoy structured days that include play sessions, enrichment, and regular walks — including long, quiet walks that allow dogs to decompress and explore at their own pace. I prioritize clear communication with owners and will always treat your dog like one of my own. I’m attentive to body language, stress signals, and individual needs, and I tailor care to each dog rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether your dog loves to play, prefers a calmer pace, or is still learning the ropes as a puppy, I’m committed to providing a safe, respectful, and positive experience while you’re away. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! Pet care is a central part of my daily routine, not something I squeeze in between other obligations. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to plan my days around the dogs in my care — including feeding, walks, play sessions, enrichment, and rest time. I am a dog trainer going to school for advanced obedience and service dog training. I’m home all day and prioritize consistency and supervision, especially for puppies or dogs who need structure. Dogs are never rushed through their routines, and their needs always come first. Safety and calm structure are my top priorities. In my home, dogs are supervised at all times and cared for in a clean, secure environment with fully fenced front and back yards and plenty of space for controlled play and relaxation. I carefully manage interactions between dogs, provide appropriate rest breaks, and follow each dog’s routine closely. I am certified in dog somatic work for stress relief. I’m attentive to canine body language and stress signals and adjust care as needed to keep dogs comfortable and confident. I never use harsh corrections, overcrowd my home, or leave dogs unattended outdoors. In a client’s home, I respect routines, instructions, and boundaries exactly as requested and ensure pets feel safe and settled in their familiar space.
“Was my first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous, but Breanne did an amazing job taking care of my puppy and sent me lots of pictures. I left my pup 3 days and she was still her same old self and was looking spoiled and happy. Thank you so much Breanne! Would contact again if sitter is needed. :)”

“Hello, my name is Mara, and my name is Recipe. We want to give Lika four paws up and a sassy tail wag because our stay with her was sweeeeet! We had a ball at her house! LITERALLY! We like Lika and would party at her house again anytime!”


About: I love animals. I grew up with dogs, a cat and numerous other animals. I have taken care of my neighbors pets, friends and families pets whenever they have needed it. It’s always been a fun experience. I am a stay at home mom, so I have a wide-open schedule that can accommodate others pet schedules. My husband is off until January and will be able to watch our son so I can take care of your pet. I have a nice home, all hardwood and vinyl flooring. I currently do not have any pets of my own at this time, which would work well to take care of others pets. I have a big fenced backyard, plenty of room to run around and explore and nice grassy area as well. We have a small child, he’s very curious about all animals, we would love for him to get know your animal too!
“Natalie and Jorge are amazing! We never left Darla Mae with a sitter before so we were a bit nervous. They were so patient and kind to her. I received photos and videos of her everyday while we were away on our trip, as well as updates. She had fun playing with the other dogs. We will definitely have them watch her again. ?”

“My experience with Julie was great! Rusty was well taken care of. Julie kept me updated on how he was doing every day. And when I was delayed an extra day from picking him up because of the airline, she was very understanding and flexible with me picking him up the next day. I would highly recommend using Julie and I will the next time I need a sitter for my fur baby.”
