I had a really great experience boarding Leo at Bhavani’s home! From the moment I sent her a request for boarding, I felt completely at ease. Bhavani has a calm, nurturing energy and a true love for animals that shows in everything she does. Her home is set up perfectly for dogs—safe, clean, and full of cozy spots and open space for play. It’s such a comforting alternative to a traditional kennel. My dog settled in quickly and was treated like a part of her family the entire time. What really stood out was the personal attention Bhavani gave. She took the time to understand my dog’s routines and personality, and she kept me updated with sweet messages and photos during the stay. It meant the world to know he was not only well cared for, but also genuinely loved. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. I’m so grateful we found Bhavani and wouldn’t hesitate to leave him in her care again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a home-based, heart-centered boarding experience!

Stacia was absolutely amazing to work with. Very professional, caring and thorough. She made my Milo feel so safe and comfortable in her setting I was mine blown at how receptive he was. I haven’t felt this comfortable with a sitter in a long time. She attended to all his needs, food restrictions and was very aware of any anxiety or discomfort he had. I highly recommend for her professionalism and overall knowledge, patience and care with pets.

Had a 5 day vacation and couldn’t really find anybody last minute to watch my dog for me. I discovered rover and came across Jose’s profile, we connected very easy and he was able to assist watching my dog for me. Jose’s services are great he communicates very well and he kept me updated each day with photos and videos of my dog and i can tell by looking at the photos and videos my dog really enjoyed himself. he enjoyed himself so much that he seemed so sad when we were in the car pulling off from jose’s house after pickup. Jose has his own pets as well which my dog got along exceptionally well with ,if you have pets and want to work on their socializing skills i definitely recommend you guys board or let your dog spend a day with jose . I most definitely will be bringing my pup back to Jose next vacation and i recommend you guys do you as well you will not be disappointed i promise!!

This was the first time since my boys were born in 2018 that they were dogsat by anyone else other than family and it was perfect. Bonnie and her family were fantastic. They kept my boys comfortable while I was away for a week and kept in constant touch to give updates and adorable photos so I could see how they were doing throughout the day. 100% would rebook in the future. Thanks Bonnie and Yee!

Courtney and Sherwood offered a caring, welcoming and suitable home for our two pups, Rook & Bailey. They took care of our puppies like their own and send pics and feedback to ensure a positive communication. This is the first time we are leaving our pups with a care taker and Courtney & Sherwood made the process easy and we didn't have to worry about their well being while on vacation. They went on walks regularly and played with Spike (their pup). Thank you for all you did for our family. Will definitely book again.

For me, dog sitting isn't a job, it's a passion. I've been a lifelong family animal lover, and when your dog stays with us, they become a member of my family. While I love all dogs, I offer special focus and patience for pets with unique needs: Senior Care: I have specific experience administering oral medications and providing gentle, low-impact care for our wise senior dogs. I ensure they have a calm, quiet, and comfortable environment for their achy joints. Puppy: If you have a puppy, I will reinforcing your rules, maintain consistent crate training and stick your potty schedule to ensure they feel confortable and secure. Be sure that my home is completely dog-proofed, so you can relax knowing your pet is in safe hands. I will complete your dog's exact feeding, walking, and sleeping schedule. You'll receive every morning and evening a detailed update with multiple photos and videos (if you request) so you never have to wonder how your baby is doing. I look forward to meeting you and earning your trust. Let's schedule a Meet & Greet soon so you can see where your dog will enjoy their happy stay! Warmly, Rodger (Your Dog's Second Best friend) Caring for your dog is the central focus of my day, guaranteed!. Your pet's needs are never missed because my schedule ensures continuous supervision. First potty break, feeding (per schedule), and gentle morning play. Long exercise walk (30-45 mins), dedicated playtime, and midday potty breaks. This is when I focus on reinforcing puppy training or providing calm senior monitoring Dinner (per schedule), extended backyard/safe area access, and focused attention during family time. "Rodger Report" sent with photos/updates. Last potty break, secured sleeping area, and medication administration (if needed). I believe trust is built through transparency. You will receive the "Rodger Report" (a detailed summary with photos/videos) multiple times daily, confirming their safety, happiness, and adherence to their specific schedule.

About: I have grown up with pets my entire life. Born into a cat family, that soon became a cat and dog family, I’ve learned the proper ways to care for animals and treat each one I see as if they’re family. The same way animals make me happy, I want to make them happy. I currently work on a hybrid schedule, going in the office twice a week Mondays Thursdays, and working from home the rest of the week. My fiancé works from home all 5 weekdays and takes care of things during those 9-5 hours until I come home :) I pay attention to what the animal wants. I offer playfulness and affection, but never forcing it in the cases where the animal just needs company. I make sure the pet is walked and eating on a schedule given.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Shandy! My puppy stayed for 3 nights, and I was so impressed with the care, love, and attention given. From the start, communication was excellent, and I felt completely at ease leaving my pup in such capable hands. She went above and beyond to make sure my puppy was comfortable, safe, and happy. I received updates, videos and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When she dropped off my puppy, I could tell she had been well cared for and loved—happy, relaxed, and even better with her routines. It’s clear that Shandy truly has a passion and talent for caring for dogs. I’m so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and reliable boarder, and I will absolutely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional care for their furry family member!
