“Sara was an amazing Rover sitter. From the Meet and Greet to the stay, Sara was organized, calm, and caring. She welcomed Bruno into her home and cared for him like he was her own dog. Sara sent daily pictures and videos, and provided us with detailed updates. Bruno came home happy and well-adjusted. I highly recommended Sara, and we’ll be looking to her when we need a sitter again.”

“Nikki is AMAZING and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a Rover sitter! She goes above and beyond to make sure your fur children are safe, happy, and entertained while in her care. Quigley loves going to boarding or daycare with Nikki and her fur babies! Plus Quigley always comes back to me tired from all of the play and fun he has had! Can’t wait for our next stay with Nikki”

About: Eric has been working with dogs since 2016, with over 5 years of professional experience in boarding, daycare, pet medication, and training. Throughout his career, he’s handled dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. His training journey began nearly a decade ago and continues to this day. From basic obedience to behavioral work, Eric brings a calm, confident presence that dogs naturally respond to. His background required constant awareness of canine body language, preventing conflicts before they happen, identifying signs of illness, and maintaining a safe, enriching environment. Morgan brings a lifetime of hands-on experience with animals, especially horses. Her work with horses has given her an exceptional sensitivity to animal behavior, expression, and energy — a skill that transfers seamlessly to dogs. She continues to ride and care for horses, and her gentle, observant nature helps even the most nervous pets feel at ease. *DAY-CARE CLIENTS PLEASE READ. Generally only available Saturday, Sunday, & Monday for day care. Please inquire for special requests. Pet care is fully integrated into our daily lives. I (Eric) work from home on Mondays and Tuesdays, so the dogs have consistent company and supervision during those days. The rest of the week, before heading out, I care for dogs first thing in the morning—feeding, potty breaks, and any necessary training or structured time. I'm always home by around 4:30 in the afternoon to resume care, walks, playtime, and more. Morgan is home most mornings until about 9 or 10 during the week and is often able to return home quickly if needed. Between the two of us, there’s rarely a long stretch without someone here. While we’re both away, dogs are safely kenneled to ensure they stay secure and avoid getting into anything that could harm them. This routine keeps their day consistent, calm, and structured—something we find dogs thrive on. Our schedule gives us ample time to care for, engage, and provide training for each dog we welcome into our home. We care for dogs like they’re part of the family—with structure, play, and lots of love. Dogs are fed morning and evening, go out for regular potty breaks, and enjoy a mix of activities based on their energy level. High-energy pups can enjoy fetch (we’ve got a great hill and a long leash for it!), tug, or puzzle games for mental stimulation, while our daily walks help keep everyone balanced. When we’re briefly away, dogs are kenneled for safety. We love all breeds and personalities and tailor care to each dog’s needs.

“Christen was great! Took pictures and very flexible. Will definitely use her again!!”

“Laura went beyond our expectations. She took fantastic care of our little Heidi while we were on vacation for ten days. She sent us great photos and stories of what they were doing everyday. Laura even worked with Heidi on different commands like stay and down. I can't even begin to say enough good things about Laura. I would give her 100 stars if Rover would let me.”

“Charlie loves it here! Between the friendly family and their pets and the fenced yard to run free and play ball she is in heaven when they watch her.”

About: Hi, I’m Dave! Animals have been a part of my adult life for as long as I can remember—from growing up with dogs to caring for friends’ and neighbors’ pets whenever they needed. I know pets aren’t just animals, they’re family, and I treat every furry friend like my own. Whether it’s going for long walks, playtime in the yard, or snuggling on the couch, I love tailoring care to each pet’s personality and needs. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and sizes—from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. I’m comfortable with giving oral/injected medications, handling big breeds, and following detailed routines to keep your pets safe and happy. I work from home, which means I have plenty of time throughout the day to give your pets the attention they deserve. Walks, potty breaks, and playtime can easily fit into my schedule, and I love breaking up my day with a little furry companionship. Your pet won’t ever feel rushed or overlooked — they’ll get consistent care and affection every day. In my home, pets are treated like family. I make sure they have a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of space to play, relax, and feel at ease. I keep a close eye on them at all times, follow their normal routines, and provide lots of affection. Safety is my top priority, so I make sure food, toys, and outdoor spaces are secure. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or snuggles, I create a home-away-from-home where pets feel happy and cared for.

“We couldn’t have been happier with Ryn as our dog sitter over the holidays! Finding someone who truly understands and can handle dogs with behavioral challenges is no easy task, but Ryn completely exceeded our expectations. Two of our dogs have big feelings—one is fear reactive, and the other struggles with anxiety—and Ryn managed their unique needs with so much patience, care, and skill. She even made real progress with one of our more challenging pups, which was such a huge milestone for us. Ryn’s extensive experience as a dog trainer really stands out. She took the time to learn about each of our dogs before their stay, asking thoughtful questions and ensuring she was prepared to meet their needs. Her setup is perfect, with a big, secure fenced yard and an environment designed for both enrichment and safety. It’s clear she puts so much thought into creating a space where dogs can thrive. One of the things we appreciated most was how Ryn included her own dogs in a way that felt safe and comfortable for everyone. She has an incredible ability to read dog behavior and ensure all interactions are positive. Whether it was playtime, downtime, or moments when our dogs just needed a little extra reassurance, Ryn handled everything with ease and professionalism. Throughout the stay, Ryn kept us updated with regular, thoughtful communication. Her updates included how our dogs were feeling emotionally, what they were eating, and even little stories about their day. The photos she sent showed just how happy and relaxed our pups were, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. What truly sets Ryn apart is her genuine love for dogs and her ability to connect with them on an individual level. She doesn’t just care for dogs—she truly understands them. Her ability to build trust and confidence, even with dogs who struggle with fear and anxiety, is remarkable. We came home to happy, groomed, relaxed pups who were clearly given so much attention, playtime, and love. It’s everything you could hope for as a dog parent. Ryn went above and beyond to make sure they felt safe and happy the entire time. If you’re looking for someone who is not only amazing with dogs but also truly gets them, Ryn is the absolute best. Whether your dog has special behavioral needs or just deserves the best care possible, we can’t recommend her enough for training or sitting. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Taryn took great care of our girl. She booked last minute and responded very quickly. Will definitely use her again in the future”
