“Suzanne watched our dog for about 4 days and he really enjoyed his time there and playing with her dogs and in the backyard. She sent us a picture everyday so we could see what he's up too. We'd definitely use her again when we're in the area again.”
“Katie was excellent throughout the week while Bonnie was in her care!! she sent me photos every day, with updates. Honestly, it gave me such a peace of mind, knowing that she was with a family that was loving on her.”
“Shannon has always been very pleasant during each of our interactions and while communicating online. Her home was very clean and our dog Rory felt right at home with her. Rory warmed up to Shannon almost immediately, which she doesn’t do with strangers often at all. Shannon was sure to ask all the necessary questions about her behavior, her feeding habits, and general well-being. She provided daily updates with photos about how Rory was settling in. This was our first time using Rover and we are grateful we found Shannon. We will definitely be using her with any of our future dog sitting needs. Highly recommend!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Carol. My 12-year-old husky means the world to me, and Carol cared for her exactly the way I would — spoiled and loved. She sent daily photos and updates, which really helped me relax while I was away. My girl was happy, comfortable, and clearly adored. I would trust Carol again in a heartbeat.”
“I am so happy to have chosen to leave my little Jazz with Tonya! Her little boys and her fur babies were a delight and were very receptive of him! When I picked him up, Tonya had him looking so good and fluffy…I could tell she had taken time to brush him🙂 She was really patient with him and I most definitely would like to book with Tonya again in the future!”
“Cody, his family, and pup Freya took great care of Moxie. She was skittish being her first time away overnight, but they were patient with her and gave daily updates and pics. She loved playing with Freya& fetching balls. Their home and yard is safe and secure. We will definitely book Cody again when we are visiting out-of-state family near him.”
“Leaving your dog for any period of time can be stressful. However, our overall experience leaving Wally in the care of Lisa was an exceptional one! From drop off to pickup and everything in between, we were always reassured and provided feedback along with pictures that we were still connected to our dog. Thank you Lisa for going above and beyond for Wally! We definatley feel comfortable using their service again! :)”
“Elizabeth was great communicating and letting us know the status of our dog Chico. We were very please with her care and services. Looking forward to booking her again!”
“I have no complaints about her at all, my dogs were well taken care of and Natalia was super understanding and lenient with timing, I will definitely be booking with her again whenever I need”
“Willow enjoyed her time with Dave and seemed very happy there. She got the opportunity to spend time with other dogs while she was there for 12 days! Thanks for taking care of our girl!”
“Ms. Beverly was awesome with everything, from when I first sent her a request about keeping my dogs ,the meet and greet, keeping me updated with videos and pictures, everything ran just so smooth with her and I didn't worry about my dogs at all and was able to enjoy my trip. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER”
“Mary was very kind and accommodating to take care of our sweet, busy bee girl at the last minute. She kept us updated with pictures and a video of our girls 3 day stay. We felt very at ease knowing she was under great care. Thank you!”
“Very professional and responsive. Clearly great with dogs as ours were a bit reactive to meeting his dog and he walked us through easing them into becoming best buds! We'd highly recommend and will use Andrew again if we return to the area!”
“Bobbie took really great care of Milky. She took him to the park and walked him by the lake. I can tell that Milky really enjoyed staying with Bobbie while I was out of town. Bobbie sent lots of pictures everyday. We will definitely choose Bobbie again!”
“Robert is a really nice person, flexible with hours and dates (we had to drop Skye off a day before and he accepted even if was last minute notice ). He kept us posted with messages, pictures and videos. I would definitely leave Skye with him again . It was a pleasure meeting him and Skye loved him as well. He took a really nice care of our baby.”
“We were pretty nervous about leaving our little dog because she means so much to us, but Pattie took AMAZING care of her! From the moment we dropped her off, we could tell she was in a loving, safe, and comfortable home. Pattie kept us updated, was so thoughtful, and treated our pup like family. The sweetest moment was when our dog heard our voices and lit up—clearly she felt happy and secure the entire time! We are beyond grateful and would absolutely trust Pattie again. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares, she’s the one! 💗”
“5 stars for Lea and her family! Ellie had such a great stay there while we were away on a camping trip! Very communicative, easy to arrange pickup/dropoff and super friendly family overall. We will be using Lea in the future for sure. Thank you Lea!!”

About: Hi! My name is Claire, and I’ve been caring for animals for many years. I am the primary caregiver for my two mini cockapoos, Izzie and Piper, whom I’ve raised since 2017. I’ve been responsible for their potty training, behavioural training, daily exercise, feeding schedules, enrichment, grooming routines, and veterinary care. I also have experience helping rescue and rehome cats, including two cats prior to adopting my current rescue cat, Peep, from a shelter in April. Caring for both dogs and cats has given me experience with many different personalities, temperaments, and comfort levels, including shy or anxious pets adjusting to new environments. I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and attentive to care for your pets as if they were family. My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to dedicate a lot of time and attention to the pets in my care. I am available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding for compatible pets. Because I have a flexible schedule, pets in my care are not left alone for long periods and can receive frequent supervision, bathroom breaks, exercise, affection, and attention throughout the day. Safety and comfort are extremely important to me. In my home, pets are treated like family and are always supervised carefully. I have two friendly, well-socialized dogs who enjoy meeting new friends. While my yard is not traditionally fenced, my dogs are safely trained with a secure invisible fence system and are always supervised outdoors. I also believe regular leash walks are important for dogs’ wellbeing and enrichment. My home can be separated into different areas if needed to help pets feel comfortable and safe depending on their personalities and how they interact with other animals. For larger dogs, cats, or pets who are most comfortable in their own environment, I am also happy to provide care in the client’s home.
About: With over 14 years of experience caring for animals, pets have always been a big part of my life. I currently have three friendly dogs and a cat, and every one of them is treated like a beloved family member. Our entire household is full of animal lovers, and we pride ourselves on creating a safe, loving, and fun environment for every pet that stays with us. We welcome pets into our home where they’ll enjoy plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort. We have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor fun, and our own pets are very social and gentle with others. I’ll make sure your pet feels right at home—and I love sending lots of photo updates so you can see how much fun they’re having while you’re away! Operating as Guardian Paws Boarding (Tracy & Sons, LLC). Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s my full-time passion and profession. I’m home all day, every day, which means your pet will get constant attention, love, and care. Since this is my only job, your cat (or dog) will be my top priority, and their needs will never be rushed or overlooked. From playtime and feedings to snuggles and quiet companionship, I’m fully available to follow your pet’s routine and make them feel right at home. You can relax knowing they’re being cared for by someone who’s always around and truly dedicated to their happiness and well-being. When your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated like one of the family. I provide a safe, loving home environment with plenty of attention, play, and comfort. We have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can run, explore, and get their energy out safely. If your dog is crate-trained or needs to be crated at certain times, I’m happy to accommodate that as well. I have three friendly, well-socialized dogs who love meeting new furry friends, and two wonderful kids (ages 8 and 15) who are great with animals and love to play and cuddle with them. Whether it’s fetch in the yard, a cozy nap inside, or just being around a loving family, your pet will get the care and companionship they deserve while you’re away.
“My Husband and I recently moved back home from Missouri and I have been trying to find a new day care for my 2 pups like the one they were going to. The new one they started going to they weren’t fond of, so A friend suggested Emily! So happy I can trust someone to take such great care them, she has great communication with the wonders and when I picked my dogs up, they seemed so happy to be there!”
“Pippin totally loves hanging out at Bobbie’s!!!! He had an absolute blast playing with Korra, as always!!! Bobbie and her household are so welcoming and caring. She sends so many pictures! Thanks for a great time as always!”
About: As a family of animal lovers, we provide a safe, caring, and fun environment for your pets. My 11-year-old and 15-year-old children absolutely love animals and enjoy helping give them attention, playtime, and plenty of affection. We have a large yard where dogs can safely run and play, and we make sure they get regular walks and exercise. Have had experience with animals, including a senior dog all my life. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I work from home and have a flexible schedule (adjust as needed), which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I do not have a fence but will go out with your dog and take it for a walk. My kids look for dogs to pet and play with everywhere. Exercise is something I am trying to do in the summer, let me watch your dog and take them for a walk.
“This was my first time using Rover and Kimberly was great at explaining everything and making me and my dog feel comfortable. We did day care to see how my dog would do before boarding and it went well. Plus she sent many pictures & videos. Oakley is excited to come back again!”
About: Taking care of animals is a passion of mine. In fact I am currently working towards a career as a zookeeper. Grew up taking care of both indoor family pets and outdoor barn dogs. I wish to give my own dog, Freya, the best life and therefore have done much research on the care of dogs and their needs. When it comes to animals I prefer to be cautious and examine their behavior to make sure each animal is happy and healthy. My current job has flexible hours and allows me to work from home so I have open availability and I will be able to watch your pets. I have a fenced in backyard which my dog takes plenty advantage of. I understand dog behaviors and monitor them for signs of distress or aggression. If need be I am able to isolate dogs in either a crate or separate areas of the house.
“Our pup had a great time with Natalia and her family. She was so happy she didnt want to leave and was so tired from playing all day. Highly recommend, we will definitely rebook with her!”
“Andrew is a kind heart and knows how to look after dogs. My Carly has enjoyed her stay with him immensely playing with her buddy, Andrew‘s dog Dante I’m older and it’s hard to give my dog the exercise and stimulation that she needs. I know she’s in great hands with Andrew.”
“Pattie was wonderful with Pepper! She communicated consistently throughout the day while being respectful of my work schedule. She sent plenty of pictures and clearly spoiled our baby girl. Pepper came home happy and well cared for. We will definitely use Pattie again for care when we need it.”
“I'm so happy with my first experience leaving my dog with Manu. This was also my dog's first time being left with a dog sitter. I received great photo updates, and Manu made me feel confident all would go ok, and went well at the end. Highly recommended!”
“Pallavi was fantastic! She took great care of our puppy. She understood the needs of the puppy by discussing the requirements ahead of time, clearly explained the plan on how she plans to handle the puppy and provided regular updates on the status. I would recommend her anyone looking for a pet loving, professional pet caretaker.”
“Excellent communication. Expectations of what was needed from me was made very clear, constant response to text messages before, during and after the appointment. Would definitely recommend”

I have already recommended her to a colleague :)”
