“We were so happy that we found someone who is friendly with our dog. Simon was great sending us pictures to show us that she is going great. I would definitely recommend Simon for your dog! This was our first try with rover and we couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you!”
“20/10. Great experience all around, big fan of Craig. Y’all can feel safe dropping off your pet here and know they’ll have a great time. Craig’s communication was fast, easy, kind, and flexible. Thank you!!!”
“I am so fortunate to have found Carola - not only did she take fantastic care of my two Brussels Griffon, she also prepared homemade food for them when they had upset bellies. They had a great time going on walks and playing with her and I can tell enjoyed their time with her. I greatly appreciate everything she did for them.”
“Jessica and John and their sweet family took wonderful care of my pup. I was definitely at ease, they sent lots of updates and pictures and I could tell that my dog was very well taken care of and very happy in their home. Would highly recommend, and will be using again.”
“Suzanne was amazing! After talking to her about our dogs and their needs, I knew 100% that she was the right person. We have a senior dog (14 years old) and a 6 year old with an unfortunate past and has many triggers. Both of them took to her right away as she is such a warm, kind person - I immediately felt comfortable leaving them with her. She took them on beautiful hikes and sent some pictures to us which was greatly appreciated. Thanks so much Suzanne!”
“Lindsay was a great caretaker of our cat! My partner and I were getting married and we were thankful for some time to not feel at all worried about how she was doing. We knew she was in great hands. Lindsay offered regular updates and photos which made a big difference! We will definitely board with her again next time we are in the area!”
“I could not recommend Brody more!!! He was amazing with my pup and sent lots of pics and videos to make me feel comfortable. I love how he has big fenced in yards for the pups. My Luda man had so much fun making me doggy friends over at Brody’s!”
“Cassandra was able to accommodate our pup at the last minute for our trip out of town. I could tell she had a great time from the several photos and videos we got throughout our trip (which also comforted my husband, who always worries about our fur baby, so much!) Our husky can be a handful, so it was good to know she was in great hands while we were away.”
About: I’ve been a reliable dog sitter for family and friends for 25 years. I’m excited to meet new dog friends and enjoy making memories with your pet! I am a flexible stay at home mom with one dog of my own. I am able to assist families on a short notice or plan ahead! I have one dog in my home that is friendly with other dogs.

About: We have been boarding dogs in our home for almost 2 years. We fostered dogs before that, and we have owned dogs our entire lives. I am a stay-at-home mom and my husband works full time from home, so your furry best friend will be in good company while you're gone. We strive to make your dogs stay as smooth as possible with a consistent routine and ample play time. We have 2 dogs that have their own space, but like playing with others if that's something your dog would be interested in. Dogs in our care have free range of the main living area in our home. They are allowed on the couch. We crate the dog(s) when no one is home and at night for bed time. We try to keep feeding schedules the same as yours and we have a fenced in lot. Dogs are let out very frequently and given lots of play time. Our house is clean and safe. The crates are sanitized between dogs. All dogs in our care must be good with children, crate trained, and good with other dogs.
“I was very worried about having to board my dog with somebody I didn’t know, but Valerie made me feel like my dog was being left in good hands. She would give updates and send photos showing how much my dog was being spoiled! You can tell she cares a lot about dogs, I definitely recommend her!”
