“Maria was a life saver! I’m a dog mom who works 12 hour shifts and Maria was happy to host my puppy from early morning to late evening, letting her out to potty hourly. My energetic puppy came home tired after a long day of playing. She sent me photos throughout the day. We will certainly be booking again.”
“Would highly recommend! When I realized a big chain daycare place wasn't the right fit for my dog, I turned to Rover to try and find a solution. Raleigh and his dog have been absolutely wonderful for my dog Rascal. He's knowledgeable about dog behavior and keeps play appropriate and fun for the dogs. From the meet and greet to the initial visit, he's been kind and listened to my concerns and works with me and my hectic schedule. This has been a great experience and I am hopeful that more people are willing to work with reactive dogs!”
“She made me feel so comfortable dropping off my puppy, to someone other than family. She updated me so much and sent so many photos and videos !! I would definitely recommend her for any needs !!”
“Elaine and her daughter are the best! We always have total peace of mind leaving our anxious girl with them. They’re great with dogs and really know what they’re doing.”
“Kelly was a great sitter for our beagle! He spent a fun day with her and her family and came home happy and tired. She is very attentive to anything he might need and was wonderful to work with. Overall a great experience!”
“My puppy Rocco loved going to your daycare. Kimberly took great care of him on his first day. There is lots of room to play in her big fenced in back yard. Thank you ! Rocco would love to come back soon !”
About: Animals have been a passion of mine my entire life! I have owned and loved cats and dogs of all ages and sizes since I was 10. I would love to show that same love to your babies, too! I am available to do in-house stays, walking, play dates, and much more! I work full-time, but do have work from home days that make it easy for me to care for your furry friend. My weekends are usually filled with playing with my pup, but I would love to make time for your pets to join us for walks or play dates! I have a fenced in yard and an open floor plan home that allows for plenty of room to play, rain or shine. I live on a quiet street that makes walking your pet a breeze. All doors remain shut in my home to ensure no nosy pups can get in to things that they should not. I am big on taking pictures and can keep you updated on the status of your pet to ensure you feel comfortable with leaving your pet in my care!
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have taken care of many of the neighborhood pets with walks pet sitting and some Slight grooming. I am experience with special needs babies. I have given shots and can make sure an animal will take their pill. They are something that I love and I’m hoping to be able to turn this into a full-time career. I work from home and my position allows me a lot of time to work on other things. I will be able to take care of your baby at any time. I have a decent sized backyard that I have a strong wire fence and my house is pretty big which I allow them to have the run. I have cages if necessary but only if the babies want that.

About: I have had a dog in my life ever since I was a kid, and have loved and cared for them ever since. Always been like family to me. I will treat your dog the same, I assure you. I have volunteered at shelters in the past, as well as working at a doggie day care and have watched dogs on and off again also. Right now we live with an amazing mutt named Leslie who is 7. Right now I am in between things, so I am open to most days, especially sheltering at home as long as your dog is okay hanging with ours. At our home we have 1 dog, with a fenced in yard and walkable, friendly neighborhood. I will definitely spend as much time as I can with them, and do whatever you need. Like I said, I treat dogs like they're my good friends or family.

“Rachel is hands down one of the most compassionate animal lovers. From growing up in a mini zoo with multiple cats and dogs it only made sense for her to adopt and rescue her own fur babies. My dog and cat absolutely adore Rachel!! Highly recommend letting this fur baby loving gal watch your lil ones sometime! You won’t regret it😊”

Tina K.
“Tina was great. My plans changed twice and is was very understanding. Her dogs and my dog got along well.”
Vincent B.
“Vincent and I worked at a doggie day care together years ago, and it was a great experience! His customer service skills extended to the owners and dogs that choose to board or opt in for doggie day care. I could always count on him to remain focused, level-headed, and attentive no matter how many dogs we worked with each day. For private dog sitting, these skills continue to remain a constant. He is an excellent dog dad and understands that some dogs have unique needs or personalities. Whether you have a high-energy dog who needs activity, a senior companion who needs some extra love, or a dog with some quirks who requires some patience, I would trust Vincent to exceed expectations in each case.”
