“I cannot recommend Maddie enough! She watched our dog, Jameson, for a little over a week during Thanksgiving and went above and beyond in every way. From the start, it was clear she genuinely loves and understands dogs. She kept me updated with frequent pictures, videos, and messages, which made it so much easier to be away from Jameson. One thing I especially appreciated was how she allowed Jameson to socialize with other dogs during his stay. He’s still relatively new to us, so we’re still learning each other, but it’s clear now he thrives on interaction, and she ensured he had safe and fun playtime with the other dogs. It was heartwarming to see how much fun he was having while we were gone. Here’s the most amazing part: After spending so much time with JameO and seeing how much joy he brought into her home, Maddie decided to get a puppy of her own for her family! It’s such a testament to her love for animals, and I couldn’t be happier for her. When we came back, Jameson was happy, healthy, and relaxed—it was like he had his own mini-vacation! If you’re looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and caring dog sitter, Maddie is hands down the best choice. Thank you, Maddie, for treating Jameson like one of your own and for being so incredible!”


“We greatly appreciated Kelly and Maurice's flexibility when we had a last minute request for our Roxy. She was well taken care of, loved on, and made comfortable as soon as we dropped her off. It helped ease our minds knowing that she was in a great environment!”


“Bianca is the absolute best! My dog Amelia instantly feels at home with her. And she contacts me with any issues that arrive immediately, as well as, sends me picture updates.”


“Diane was absolutely wonderful! I have never left my dog with anyone outside of family, needless to say this was a very nerve wrecking experience for me. However, Diane updated me everyday with pictures of my pup and the daily schedule! If you happen to come across her profile don’t hesitate to book with her! Thank you so much again Diane!”


“Perfect sitter for our furbaby! She took special care of Him! You can tell she really loves dogs. Her attention to detail especially towards our senior dog was greatly appreciated. He felt like it was his home away from home, evidenced by the way he did not want to leave lol. We will indeed be a repeat customer and would highly recommend Monica for your furbaby as well.”


“We had a great experience with Faith! She was able to accommodate us on a few days’ notice, and was flexible when we had to change our pickup time. Charlie came home happy & healthy & sleepy. Will definitely book again!”

I can tell that my dog had a GREAT time will there, with Donna and her husband and with the other dogs. My dog is happy and healthy. Donna was a great communicator and very easy to work with.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life! My family and I just love them so much. We recently lost our two dogs at the rip old age of 15 and want to fill our hearts with loving ones your fur babies. We treat your fur baby as an extension of our family and want to make sure they feel comfortable while away from you. We live on a quiet road on 3 acres of wooded land where they will get to walk and explore on a leash throughout the day. I currently work from home and am only out a few times a week for about 4 hours at a time. So they will get lots of attention throughout the day. Our yard is not fenced so walks will be on leashes in a shaded wooded area so they can stretch their legs. I have large crates that can be used if needed when we are away or at night if they are crate trained or have anxiety.

“Shuling did a great job with Penny! Excellent level of communication (not too much not too little) throughout the whole experience, lots of pictures, and Penny ate her food which shows an incredible amount of comfort and trust she has built with Shuling. Definitely recommend Shuling and I will be coming back to her again! “Shuling’s Rover experience was the best Rover experience we’ve ever had. She really did go above and beyond, fed her right before pickup and I was surprised Penny ate dinner! This goes to show her level of care for animals. 10/10”


“Cristina was absolutely incredible. She provided updates on my girl every day, so I knew she was well taken care of and happy! My dog can be nervous, but she adjusted so well and quickly with Cristina, which really speaks to how welcoming and comfortable it is in her home. I definitely will look to Cristina again in the future if I need to board my dog, and I’m happy to recommend her to others!”

“We are so grateful to have someone take such loving care of our dog. Liz sent us pictures and updates often. After arriving home Nola was calm and happy. We will definitely be asking Liz to watch Nola again :)”


“Branden was extremely pleasant to work with. I was anxious to leave my energetic puppy with him because my Biscotti can be a handful. I was reassured at every turn and I’m so grateful. Biscotti didn’t want to leave. I highly recommend Branden.”


“If you’re not booking Mady when she has availability then what are you doing. Mady was AWESOME! She took great care of our dog and sent tons of pictures and some video. She has a dog friendly home so if your dog has free range of the house like ours they will feel at home. Definitely will be using Mady again if her availability meets our needs for boarding. 5 ⭐️ job Mady.”

Stephanie & Robert R.
“Stephanie has watched my Australian Cattle Dog, Lucy, many times in the past. She always made me feel secure knowing that she was safe and well cared for. I never had to worry about Lucy while I was away! I no longer live near Stephanie, but if I did, I would still ask her to be my dog sitter!! She even understood Lucy’s quirky needs. I had great communication while Lucy was with her, I never had any issues or complaints. Stephanie is an animal lover and kind person. I highly recommend her to take care of your pet however you are requesting.”
