“I always choose Aleja for my dog Casper as I trust her cause when I see my dog so happy when I pick him up and the way she handles him is so well. She always sends me his pictures and text me time to time. I definitely recommend everyone to try her with her pets she's amazing in what she does. 👍”

“Trista was a huge help in watching our two pointers for the day. One of them is very anxious, and Trista was able to get him to relax and to enjoy his time at her house. Trista is very professional and communication throughout the day was very easy. I would definitely rebook in the future.”

About: I grew up with dogs. I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I love caring for them they’re my favorite animal. I helped my sister when her dog gave birth both times. I do this full time. I am always home. There is a dog park across the street from my house so they can run around if they would like. I have my own bowls, crates and doggy beds. I have lots lots of toys as well so your dog will always comfortable with me.

About: My family and I are animal lovers! We have one dog of our own who we love and care for and she LOVES to play with other doggie friends! I have dog sat for about 15+ years for personal friends and family as well as many dogs here on Rover. All of our children love dogs and we create a loving and caring family environment. We have a large backyard in a family oriented town. Our yard is not fenced, but there is plenty of room for dogs we watch to run around and play. My children take part in caring for the dogs we sit and like to give them lots of extra hugs and love. We also enjoy going on lots of walks! We can’t wait to give your dog a warm, friendly home away from home! I am work from home, so I am available to be present for your dog. He/she will have someone around almost at all times. If we have to run out for anything, if your dog does not chew and is trained, he/she can have run of our home. We have one very friendly dog to keep yours company. I have plenty of room in the house for a crate if necessary. If medications are necessary, I am able to administer that. Our yard is not fenced, however we have a long lead where he/she can have plenty of room to run around. Our family will be present at all times when your dog is outside.

About: My family and I have been taking care of dogs on and off for 15 years. Our dog has had two litters totaling 23 (Creampuff Labradoodle is the breeder) which we have hosted in our home as they grew up. We love nature, being outdoors, and all things animal related! We host play dates at our home often and our pup enjoys the company. Things to note: we are a busy household and have three children. We are in and out throughout the day but never for long periods of time when watching pups. Visiting dogs must be comfortable around my dog and children. I will always do a meet and greet before taking a dog in. Must know basic training skills and be clean upon arrival, and be house trained. Things to bring for day care/boarding: Bed, water and food bowls, crate. If a crate is not an option then we can use our gated corral. They are able to have free rein over house, I am fine with that but as a safety precaution or for use when we leave I prefer to have an option to contain the pups. I have toys, towels, and treats. If any signs of aggression are shown or excessive behaviors I will ask if I can gently train your dog with a sound device. I have used this on my own dog and it works great as a non invasive tool if unpredictable circumstances arise. Our back yard is fenced and we take extra care at our front door and can block the foyer with an extra gate for safety. I own a photography business so I make my own schedule. If I am away from the house, it is not for long at all and I do all my editing from my home office. I am flexible and accommodating to various needs. I have a fully fenced back yard. We have a gate for leaving uncreated dogs in if we run out for a bit. It can block off the foyer area or be set up by the deck door for views of the yard.

I treat every pet like family and strive to create a calm, fun environment that’s tailored to their unique needs—whether we’re going for a walk or settling in for a cozy stay.

About: What sets me apart is my extensive experience and genuine love for animals. I owned a dog for 12 years, have had two cats for 5 years, and have fostered multiple cats with various behavioral challenges. I've also cared for my family's dogs and cats throughout the years. This hands-on experience has made me adaptable to different pet personalities and needs, from training puppies to caring for senior pets. I treat every animal with the same love and dedication I give to my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’ve built my schedule around feeding, playtime, grooming, and exercise to ensure each pet gets the attention they need. Years of experience with my own and my family's pets have made caring for animals a seamless and fulfilling part of my life. In both my home and clients' homes, I provide comprehensive pet care tailored to each animal's needs: regular exercise, feeding and medication, playtime and enrichment, cuddles and affection, safety and security, and personalized attention. I ensure a seamless transition and continuity of care, prioritizing the well-being and comfort of pets in any setting.

“Sammie had a fantastic time. Definitely would recommend!”

Erin K.

“Estefania was amazing with Simba! Initially, I was a bit concerned about how her dog, Nova, would react to Simba since he’s very playful and persistent, but they ended up getting along just fine. When we first arrived for our meet and greet, Estefania’s home was clean and calm, and Simba immediately felt comfortable, heading straight for the toys. Talking with Estefania and hearing her insights on how puppies behave put my mind at ease, and I felt confident leaving Simba in her care. She also sent wonderful videos of Simba, and I could tell by his energy and excitement that Estefania treated him like her own. Simba can’t wait to visit Nova and Estefania again!”

About: **currently not offering boarding. Drop in visits and dog walking only I love dogs ! I’ve always grown up with dogs and adopted my own once I moved into my house 7 years ago. We lost our beloved 17 year old shih tzu in 2020 and since have adopted a fun loving 11 year old husky named Skylar! I have dog walked and house sat for others since I was in high school and have experience with young and old dogs . Neighbors , friends/family have also relied on me to help out when they need someone to care for their dog. I am willing and capable to administer medication if needed. I quit my full time teaching job to pursue a more flexible work schedule to be home more. I nanny part time and I am home most hours of the day. My husband is also home 3 days of the week given his first responder schedule . I have a completely fenced in back yard and we are extremely cautious when it comes to leaving our home / coming inside. We rarely use our front door and go out/in through our garage making sure to close the door before opening ! I am looking to board dogs primarily in my home if it’s over night . Our house is split leveled and although another dog is welcome in the entire house, having the split level is a nice option if the dog needs to be separated . If we do need to leave the house I would separate both my dog and the boarded dog to be safe. We have dog gates to separate the top /bottom level of our home. I prefer that all puppies are crate trained . We do have a crate . I work from home part time am always home or around town! My husband and I always make sure to give a good long walk to our dog each day and love to bring another pup along. I have a large fenced in yard which makes for a great space for your dog to run around and play/use the bathroom! My house is a split level so your dog will have its own area downstairs so I can separate my dog and yours during bedtime and if I run our of the house. I also am able to provide a crate for dogs who are crate trained.

“Chris was a fantastic sitter for my dog. My pup was shy in the beginning, but when I picked him up they looked like they were best friends. 10/10 highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a sitter/doggy daycare.”
