“Kimberly and her husband Kevin are fantastic. Orly had her first overnight and came home tired and happy. I know she gets lots of love and attention. She is looking forward to her next vacation at Kimberly's.”
“Dawn was a lifesaver! Our original sitter canceled last minute, and Dawn accepted our booking the same day. We were so grateful she could take Choki in on such short notice. She kept us updated with photos and took amazing care of him. When I picked him up, he was calm, happy, and even freshly washed and groomed—he looked better than when we dropped him off! I couldn’t recommend Dawn more. She’s caring, professional, and truly goes above and beyond. Thank you, Dawn!”
“Teija cared for Teddy, our 3-yr old small spaniel, for two days while we saw a couple of plays at the Stratford Festival. I always feel some anxiety when we drop our pet off with a stranger, but Teija made me immediately feel comfortable and confident we had made the right choice. We appreciated the photos and notes she forwarded to us. We could see that Teddy was looking happy and relaxed. I feel fortunate to have found her. I hope Teija is available the next time we visit the festival.”
“Carey was beyond great! She sent us pictures throughout the entire stay. It’s very clear that she loves animals! She was great with communication throughout the entire booking process and stay. 100% recommend booking with her!”
“Cindy and Marc are absolutely incredible. I would have never left my dog for a week with anyone else. They are so kind, attentive, accommodating and a safe place for my pup. They send lots of updates and pictures to make sure I am comfortable and in the loop with what’s going on at all times. Thank you two so much for being so amazing!”

About: I’m flexible, reliable, and genuinely love being around dogs and cats! I work for myself from home, which gives me the flexibility to accommodate different routines, last-minute bookings, and pets who need a little extra attention during the day. I’ll care for your pet like they’re my own, with plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and attention. I’m also happy to reinforce basic training and keep active dogs entertained and engaged. Your pet’s happiness, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities! I’m self-employed and work from home, pet care can fit into my daily routine. I have the flexibility to build walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention into my day rather than leaving a dog alone for long stretches. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means an early morning walk, a midday outing, extra potty breaks, structured mealtimes, or evening snuggles. I love having a dog around while I work, and I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, happy, and at home. I provide reliable, loving care while keeping your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. For drop-in visits, I’m happy to spend time playing, giving belly rubs, refreshing food and water, letting them out, or simply keeping them company if they’re looking for some extra attention. For walks, I’ll make sure your dog gets the exercise and enrichment they need while keeping their safety a top priority. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions and caring for pets with different routines, personalities, and needs. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away.
“Norman had the best time getting spoiled by Bren. She was so accommodating, and kind with our senior pup it is obvious she really cares for her pups. Im not sure he wanted to come home! 😁. 100% recommended.”
“I cannot recommend Janet enough!! She was absolutely wonderful and took such good care of our Honey. She was excellent at sending photos and videos and updates. Honey was with Janet for 3 weeks and we knew without a doubt that she was being loved and cared for beautifully. Thank you so much Janet!!”
“Our Bernese Mountain Dog loved staying with Kara. She provided lots of updates with pictures, which gave us peace of mind. Thank you so much for your service! We will definitely book again with her.”
“Jilly stayed for the day today with Amanda and Brock, her first time with them. And everything went so well! I received some photos and comments from them during the day, updating me on how Jilly was doing. It was so great to have that reassurance that all was good. Jilly had her 2 daily walks, lunch and Kong treat as requested. And I brought home a happy and relaxed pup! Thank you Amanda and Brock. You made us feel very welcome and we will definitely see you again soon.”

Hunter has stayed with Kimberly several times now, most recently while we were in Italy, and it’s always reassuring to know he’s in such good hands. She keeps us updated with plenty of photos, which gives us real peace of mind while we’re away. Hunter is always excited to spend time with Kimberly and her family—especially their dog, Murphy! The two seem inseparable. Hunter was even a little mopey on his first day back home; I think he was missing his pal. Thank you, Kimberly, for making Hunter feel so welcome and taking such wonderful care of him. Highly recommended!

It was our first time leaving Bella with a boarding service and we are very happy with the results. Dallas was great with Bella. They got along fantastic. We could could tell as Bella was excited and happy to start her time with Dallas after her first visit. We had a great trip knowing that Bella was secure with Dallas. Thank you
5 stars isn't enough for Maria. What was suppose to be a simple few days while we went on vacation quickly turned out to be anything but. right before we were to leave we discovered Ellie had a brain Tumor and needed alot of extra care.. We gave Maria the chance to back out as that's not what was originally discussed.. and she didn't.. she was up for the challenge. Simply Amazing.. thank you so much for taking care of our girl for us.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .
