About: I am a dedicated & compassionate pet caregiver with a genuine love for animals. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, structured walks, or quiet companionship, I tailor my care to suit their unique personality and needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I provide safe, stress-free environment and always prioritize your pet's comfort, health, and happiness. Services I offer - * Dog sitting & boarding (max 1 pet at a time) * Daily walks * Feeding & medication administration * Overnight stays & extended care * Drop-in visits * Daily updates with photos/videos I treat every pet as if they were my own-with love, patience, and plenty of belly rubs (if they're into that). I'd love to meet your pet and become their new best friend. I have a flexible hybrid work schedule, which allows me to easily make pet care a part of my daily routine. I typically work from home three days a week, with a flexibility to choose my in-office days based on my schedule. I'm available to love and care for your pet over the weekend as well. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care, so their safety and comfort will always be my priority. I'll follow your instructions closely, including their feeding schedule, walks, playtime, litter routine, and any little habits that help them feel at ease.
âI was so happy with Kelly's approach to my very anxious and shy dog, Doug. I have been looking for an overnight solution for Doug for when we go away - and I've found her to be too anxious in big camp environments. I thought I'd try out a dog daycare day with Kelly to see how Doug would do. Kelly was really generous with her time. We had an initial phone call, where I provided a bunch of background information on Doug. It was clear from that phone call that Kelly just really understands dogs. She took the time to find a day in her schedule that had a few dogs that would be a good fit for Doug without being overwhelming. On the day of daycare, Kelly took time to allow Doug to meet all the dogs. When Doug was still a little anxious during the day, Kelly took her on a walk to help her feel a little less anxious. She also played ball with Doug to help her warm up. (Doug is relentless with ball, so I'm sure it was a bit relentless for Kelly..:) It was amazing to see how all the dogs just listen to Kelly - with her calm and gentle approach. I'll book more daycare with Kelly and will for sure have Doug stay with her the next time we go away. Thanks Kelly!â

âThis was our first time using the Rover app, and we are so happy with the experience. Susan was great to communicate with, and it's clear that Willow had a great time in their care. Susan sent regular pictures that showed Willow enjoying herself. Susan and Gordon have lots of experience with dogs and took such great care of our pup! We'll definitely be using their services again.â

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with dogs and have over 7 years of hands-on pet care experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Iâm currently a full-time dog sitter, so Iâm able to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I always try to create a schedule that helps every dog feel comfortable and relaxed in my home. The schedule can also be personalized to match your dogâs own routine if that helps them feel more settled and relaxed. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where dogs are closely supervised throughout the day. I always introduce dogs carefully and pay attention to each dogâs personality, comfort level, and routine. Even though we have several dogs in the house, I always require a meet-and-greet first to make sure everyone is friendly. My goal is to help every dog feel relaxed, secure, and at home while they stay with me. I also send regular photo and video updates so owners can feel reassured while theyâre away.
âOllie loved his time in Tiffanyâs care. Noodle was a perfect match for Ollieâs energy they looked like best friends with all the playing they enjoyed throughout the day. Tiffany was very considerate in listening to our specific requests and considerations for watching Ollie. She was very patient and ensured that Ollie got the attention he needed throughout the day. She also shared photos and videos frequently to update us on how Ollie was.â

About: We are a family with two teens, plus one friendly, goofy Bernese Mountain Dog who would love a playmate for a few days. Archie is almost 9 years old but still has some spunk! He is very friendly and loves company. He gets walked at least twice per day and gets lots of attention from our kids, as would any of our visiting dogs. Our home is three floors with a fenced in backyard, and we live in close proximity to great walking trails. We also have a crate that can be used if your pet prefers to sleep in one. We are experienced and loving dog owners, whose kids regularly ask that we get a second dog. I recently became unemployed but enjoy the company of animals very much and want to take advantage of my time away from the corporate world. Dogs who board with us will enjoy at least two walks a day. Our backyard is fenced, our kids are grown and our dog likes company and walks twice a day. We live on a quiet street near Main St Unionville. Note: we have a swimming pool
âKenneth was great with our Max. Max is quite anxious in new situations and it was clear that Kenneth was attentive to his needs. He provided videos and updates throughout the visit which allowed us to feel at ease. Max came home relaxed and happy. I would feel comfortable trusting Max with him again. Thank you for taking good care of our boy!â

We had a great experience with Kelly! Bruno spent the day at her place, and she was wonderful throughout. She was very communicative, kept us updated on how Bruno was doing, and shared adorable photos of him, which we really appreciated. It gave us peace of mind knowing Bruno was in good hands. We would definitely recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a caring and reliable doggy daycare sitter! đžâ¤ď¸

Laura is an amazing sitter! My dog had so much fun with her and her sons. Laura sent me lots of photos throughout my dogs stay and kept me updated. She makes the cutest intake forms and even made a diary for her stay. I could feel her love for pets and Iâll definitely be coming back. Thank you Laura!

Teddy had a nice first day with Jin. She was very accommodating and took great care of him. I really appreciated how reassuring she was, especially since I was anxious about leaving him, and she sent lots of pictures throughout the day. Teddy seemed happy and had fun with the other dogs. I also really liked all the safety gates and how secure the space felt. Weâre very happy with his first stay, and Teddy will definitely be back to stay with Jin!

We are very happy with the care Priyank provided for our kid Caesar. Priyank took excellent care of Caesar, making sure he was comfortable, happy, and well looked after throughout the stay. We truly appreciated the attention, patience, and updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Caesar seemed relaxed and happy afterward, which says a lot. Thank you, Priyank, for treating Caesar with such care and kindness. Highly recommended!

Carmen was incredible caring with ice! We needed last minute day care for him, and he was recovering from a leg injury as well. Carmen was so understanding, responsive and thoughtful with Ice - it gave us peace of mind the whole time he was with her. Will definitely consider Carmen for any future Pet care!!
