“I’m very grateful to have found Lee on Rover! Her yard/house setup is perfect for caring for smaller dogs, and it’s clear that she is a dog person through and through. Sam stayed the weekend with her and had a great time. I have never left him with anyone that isn’t family before. Sam is older and has anxiety. Lee was great at communicating and sent many updates. I was happy to see that Sam came out of his shell and made a friend while he was there! We will definitely be back.”
“Koda always has a blast at Jeff & Beths’s. So grateful she gets to go to such a sweet and safe home to play and cuddle and get so well taken care of. They are the best! Thank you!”
“We loved our stay with Karen! The communication was very clear and quick, and Karen did a great job giving our pup a safe, structured stay with plenty of playing and time in the sun. :-)”
“Alex kept my golden retriever for a week and left me feeling GREAT about the boarding. From the daily pix & videos, it seemed that Alex integrated Mika into her family life completely, even having her at their backyard easter egg hunt! Mika got lots of play time & tons of petting, played with her daughters at the playground across the street, and did her napping right under Alex's feet when she was working. Such a great feeling to know your dog is well cared for when away. Thanks so much Alex!”
“Albina was very communicative and sent photos every day showing our pups on their adventures together as well as just hanging out at home. They were very well taken care of and in perfect condition when we picked them up. We will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
“Her and her partner are excellent they took my pup in and she was so happy playing with their pups thank you guys and if I need people to watch my do I will always request yall.”
“Iggy did a trial stay with Mary and absolutely loved her. He can be a little shy and unsure but she and Murphy Brown made him feel very comfortable. She kept us informed about how he was doing and was wonderful! We’re looking forward to having her watch Iggy again for a longer stay.”
“Lily and her husband were amazing with Bugsy. They kept us informed daily on updates. Bugsy got emotionally attached to them. They even tried to teach him new tricks! Will definitely recommend them and be back in the future!”
“Kristen and Ryan were very welcoming of our pup! They were understanding of her nuances and helped her adjust to a new environment fast. They have a nice spacious home with a big backyard that our dog loved relaxing in. Kristen and Ryan were very communicative throughout the stay and sent daily updates with photos. 100% recommend!”
“Tara was super kind and accommodating to me and my dog, Frieda had just had surgery and was in a vulnerable place and Tara was communicative and worked with me last minute to make sure to Frieda got the care she needed. Very grateful for your kindness and great care!💛”
“Isaac and Jordan were amazing. They sent a good amount of updates and made sure Nemo felt right at home. I look forward to having them watch Nemo again!”
“Vanessa was so kind and careful with our pup Gumbo! We were extra nervous because we had to leave him with her for two weeks while he recovered from an injury. Following our vet’s instructions, she gave him his meds, restricted his activity, carried him up and down the stairs, and provided so much loving care. And she sent us lots of updates! Her pup Robin is so sweet too. We’re looking forward to Gumbo’s next stay with them.”
About: I’m a Fear Free Certified Professional, currently studying animal behavior. I’ve been running my own home based doggy daycare and boarding house for four years. My care is crate-free (unless that's what your pup's preferred at-home routine is,) with regular group outings to trails and the beach. I live in a two level home where the entire downstairs and fenced backyard are just for the dogs! It’s colorfully set up as the coolest doggie social club, but the pups are welcome throughout both levels of the home. They are never forcibly isolated and almost always prefer to be close to wherever I am. I keep my client list small and personal—almost all of my dogs have been with me for years. I don’t aim to pack the house; I aim to give the best experience possible for every dog and human involved. Even when clients start as one-offs, they usually stick around—because I strive to be a resource for dogs and their families. That’s why I call this place a home away from home. If you're interested, I invite you to come by for a meet and greet—see the space, meet me, and let me meet your little one. I look forward to being your dog’s new best friend! Canine care is my daily life. The dogs are with me throughout the day—whether we’re in the yard, around the house, or out on a trail. I structure my routine around their needs, with group outings, downtime, and a consistent rhythm. If my personal life calls me away, I have an amazing assistant Alaina who steps in. She also co-runs the daycare! I focus on keeping things consistent, calm, fun, and full of bonding—play, rest, outdoor time, and enrichment are all part of the daily rhythm. Outside of daycare hours, the space functions as our home too, so dogs experience a relaxed, real-life environment, not a facility. I send updates, pictures, and videos throughout the day.
“I needed a last minute sitter for my 5 year old dachshund for a quick trip out of town, and Keana did amazing! She was very understanding of my dog’s shyness/anxiousness, and based on the photos she sent it looked like they had a great time. She was very communicative, and her neighborhood was great for quiet walks and visits to the park.”
“Rachel is a terrific dog sitter! She is very responsive and communicative, and my dog had a great time with her and her dog. I appreciated the photos and videos of their beautiful hikes and play time.”
About: I grew up with 3 dachshunds and pet sat for many years during college. I've also had 2 cats during college that have since passed away. I've worked a summer on a goat farm, fed chickens, and watched pet doves. I have a good presence with animals and people. I am a freelancer and am at home for the majority of the day. I can bring your dog with me to the park and running errands. Sometimes I'm out on client meetings here and there, but am always close to home. We are at the Vespr apartment building which are a dogs haven. Minutes from the lake for morning walks, with a built in doggy spa and run for evening potty breaks. Big windows with sunshine spots for sun soaking naps and filtered water for tasty sips.
“Thank you so much, Diksha! I was a bit nervous at first, but after our meetup and seeing your expertise with senior pups, I felt completely at ease. I really appreciate the wonderful photos during Charlie’s stay, it truly looked like he was on his own little vacation”

Aimee E.
“Aimee is an absolute gem! I’ve had the pleasure of working with her as an assistant for the past year and a half, caring for dogs in daycare and boarding. Without a doubt, she goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being of her furry clients. Leading with patient, fear-free engagement and positive reinforcement, Aimee works hard to ensure each dog feels confident, comfortable and cared for from the moment they step a paw through her front door. To cultivate a true home-away-from-home environment, she has set up her entire house to ensure the maximum comfort and accessibility for each of her Lucky Dog guests. Pups arrive each day with wagging tails and loads of excitement and leave content from a fun-filled day with friends of socializing, playtime, hikes, cuddles, treats, naps, belly rubs and so much more. At Lucky Dog Social Club, Aimee brings the whole package when it comes to caring for your pup—she will love them like her own and you can rest easy knowing they are in her hands…and her heart!”
