“I met Thomas first at the dog park and then found him on rover when we needed someone to watch our dog at the last minute. Came back to a well exercised, happy dog. Our dog and his dog got along great and Thomas sent us some videos during the day of them playing. So happy to have found Thomas as a person I can trust with our dog!”

About: Animals sense the deep love I have for them and are always so loving in return. Innately animals are perfect little beings; only their surroundings can alter that. With me their surroundings are always safe, calm, loving, nurturing and fun I aim to provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets to have a home away from home. All pets are given their own space to settle in at their leisure and a little positive reinforcement training is provided to ensure harmony for all. I work from home and my schedule is flexible which makes it easy to take frequent breaks for walks. My home is quite large providing each pet with ample space to lounge. If need be, areas can be blocked off to give a pet more privacy. I walk my own dogs a minimum of 5 times per day and while most walks are relatively short, I make time for at least one good hour long walk per day. Pets are free to roam indoors as they please if that’s what they are used to. Puppies are kept close by so they can be watched for their safety. I prefer to crate dogs if they're left in my home unattended when I need to step out. I favor long walks in nature whenever possible for exercising dogs.


3. Brianne M.
“I discovered Brianne through word-of-mouth among friends at the dog park. I often have to travel for work and I couldn't imagine leaving my Cavalier at a boarding place. I'm so lucky I found Brianne, she adores my dog and takes care of him like he's her own. My dog is not a big fan of walks in general, but Brianne is very patient and encouraging with him. She is also very helpful and responsive when I've needed a last minute walker.”


4. Carlee R.

“Carlee took wonderful care of our dog Esther while we were in Hudson. She was prompt and reliable and very flexible. Esther adored her! She came home so pooped from running around in the yard. I couldn’t recommend her more highly and plan to leave Esther with her again. We left Esther with her several times. Great communication.”


5. Sophie H.

“Our dog JB was all smiles when we picked him up from daycare with Sophie. She was also flexible with our changes in plans, which was very appreciated.”


6. Lori B.

“I had the pleasure of entrusting my dog Isla, to Lori and her husband's care, and I must say, it's nothing short of a doggy paradise! This place is the perfect haven for dogs to be safe, cherished, and entertained. The pack of small to medium-sized dogs is not only adorable but incredibly sweet. Isla quickly found herself amongst furry companions, forming an instant camaraderie that put my worries at ease. The atmosphere is vibrant with positive canine energy, creating a joyous environment for any dog. The highlight of this doggy haven is undoubtedly the expansive backyard. Enclosed with a sturdy and sizable fence, it provides a secure space for dogs to roam, play, and explore freely. Lori and her husband's hospitality is truly heartwarming. Their genuine love for dogs radiates in every aspect of their care. Isla not only had a great time but returned home visibly content, a testament to the warmth and attention she received during her stay. Having such a wonderful place close to home is a blessing for any dog owner. I am immensely grateful to have discovered this canine haven and would highly recommend it to fellow pet parents. Lori and her husband have created a haven where dogs are not just looked after, but truly loved and appreciated. If you want your furry friend to have a safe, enjoyable experience, this is the place to be!”


7. Cheyenne F.
“Cheyenne was amazing! We had a very last minute trip and Cheyenne was able to watch our pup the very next day. She was communicative and would recommend!”




8. Lauren Z.

“Lauren graciously accepted our last minute request for our dog. Her love for animals is apparent when you communicate with her, and she was super accommodating. We highly recommend her!”


9. Deanne R.

“Outstanding care - would recommend. She listened about temperament and his need to get out for a walk. Very fortunate to find a responsible dog sitter. Thank you”


10. Amanda C.

“Amanda is the best! Can’t recommend her enough. Our dogs are spoiled and shy, but they open up with her and are starting to get familiar in new environments!”

About: Hello! As a 20 year old who loves dogs I cannot wait to get to know you and your pet!

I live in an area surrounded by woods and if wanted, two English cocker spaniels to keep great company!

Certifications in Pet first aid, Animal poison control, and Animal Behavior I have plenty of flexibility to focus on providing attentive and reliable care for your pets.

12. Patrick G.

“Patrick was a wonderful dog sitter! Super responsive and our puppy had a great time.”


13. Ryan T.

“Peggy had a relaxing day at the Ryan/Nicole household. She was happy to see me, but she didn't seem at all stressed-out, even though this was her first visit. I think she also enjoyed meeting the children: she's very playful and kids are a lot more fun than her elderly mama. I'm sure she'll do well at her longer visit week after next.”


14. Nicole P.
“Whenever we go away on vacation the first person we call to trust our precious fur babies is Nicole. We know they are well taken care of and treated wonderfully. The most reliable person we have to watch our babies. ❤️🐶❤️🐶❤️”


15. Diana H.

“Diana and her family provided day care to my puppy Jolene and I cannot say enough good things. She is a wonderful and attentive sitter and provided great care. I would definitely recommend her.”


16. Jennifer G.
“I was a police canine handler and after a terrible experience with another boarding and animal care provider I began using Jennifer’s services. She was fantastic. Very few pet caregivers can handle a high drive dominant dog. Jennifer handled him with ease. If she can handle the 90 pound fur missile that I had, there is no doubt in my mind she is capable of handling any dog. I highly recommend all of her services.”


17. Simon L.
“Simon When I was undergoing cancer treatment. Simon took care of my little Doxie who is paralyzed— he helped me with this for several months. Without his assistance I would have not gotten through treatment and able to keep her. He was a lifesaver!!!”


18. Mazen M.

“Mazen was awesome! Our dog loved him immediately, and he was prompt, communicative, and kind. He took great care of our dog and she had a fulfilling day. She came home looking content and relaxed - we will definitely book again!”


19. benjamin r.
“Benjamin is the epitome of an animal lover. When I lived the area I trusted him to watch my dog on numerous occasions. He has a plethora of experience from years of owning cats and dogs. My dog, Nipsey, loves Ben and is always happy when he gets a visit from his favorite pet sitter. You can trust all of your fur babies with him!”


20. Victoria V.


“Victoria was extremely nice and pampered our sweet Agnes with toys and playtime! Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
