“We love Damacia, and so does our Onyx. She has taken care of him since he was a young puppy and has even provided insight/suggestions in things to add into his daily routine. He has grown a lot and LOVES her so much.”


“From the moment we dropped our pup off at her home, we felt completely at ease. She’s warm, professional, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. While we were traveling, she kept us updated with regular messages, photos, and little notes about how our dog was doing—which made us feel so connected and reassured. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and our dog came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and truly kind-hearted to care for your pet, look no further. She’s a gem!”


“Michelle did a wonderful job watching our boy Remy! He can be very shy and nervous in new environments but Michelle made him feel right at home. Loved getting the updates and photos while we were out of town. Highly recommend and will book again :)”


“Jeffrey was fantastic with my dog! He sent me lots of updates and pictures while I was away, so I was always confident that Malcolm was being well taken care of. I also appreciated that Jeffrey was happy to take Malcolm on good walks and also cuddle with him when they were just hanging out. I highly recommend this Rover!”


“Excellen all around! Great communication before and during our trip, with lots of consideration for the dogs’ routines and comfort. Loved all the photos that showed us the dogs were having a great time at “camp” — knowing they were in good hands let us enjoy our trip all the more. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”


“Wonderful experience. Emily and Abi took such good care of our CheChe! Communication was excellent and they made sure she had everything she needed to be healthy, happy and comfortable during her week-long stay.”


“When I pull up to their house, My dog makes joyful sounds, jumping with joy & excitement because she loves to hang out with Pam, Paul & Marlowe. She’s very happy there.”



“Hilary and her husband were great with my stubborn senior pup. I received multiple updates, and Toby came back a happy camper. We have already booked another stay this summer! ”


“Jesse has done a wonderful job taking care of my 7 year old Samoyed! He provides good photo updates, his dogs are friendly, and drop-off/pick-up is always easy. I would highly recommend, and look forward to using his services again in the future.”



“My girl tends to be very nervous and scared around new people and environments and she has never been left with anyone before so of course I was worried with how everything would go. Cyndi made my dog feel so at ease and sent me so many updates my girl was right at home within an hour. I was so happy! Bailey will be back soon!”


“Dawn was absolutely amazing. She took great care of our big, fluffy, Luna, who can certainly be exuberant at times! She kept me updated several times a day with great pictures. I would 100 percent use her again!”


“Sheri was amazing with my dog Zion! She watched him for 2 weeks while I was on vacation and consistently checked in with me and catered to my needs of transporting him and also his diet. She was diligent about feeding him the correct food and making sure he was happy and healthy. Highly recommend her!”


“Excellent experience, as always. Henry has stayed with Matt several times. Matt communicates well and often, is great managing the pack, and my Henry is always happy to go back.”


“We were so grateful for Danielle & her crew! She took great care of our pup and she was amazingly flexible and responsive. Very kind and loving and a true dog lover. I highly recommend her. Zero complaints! Only good vibes!”


“Kat took such amazing care of our dog. We’ve always had friends or family watch our dog, Kat gave us the peace of mind knowing Reggie was cared for by a dog lover. Would definitely use Kat again?”


About: Hi! I’m a dependable dog lover with hands-on experience raising and caring for dogs, including my own bernedoodle, Royal. I’ve been fully responsible for his training, daily care, and socialization since he was a puppy, so I know what it takes to keep dogs happy, healthy, and well-exercised. I’m reliable, communicative, and always treat pets like part of the family. Whether your dog needs structured walks, calm companionship, or playtime to burn off energy, I tailor care to fit their personality and routine. I’m also familiar with basic training techniques, reading dog body language, and handling different temperaments. You can count on me to show up on time, follow instructions, and give your dog the same level of care I give my own. Let’s connect—I’d love to meet your pup! Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I keep a flexible schedule, including early mornings, evenings, and weekends, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they need. I plan my day around the care I provide, making sure each walk, visit, or drop-in is on time, consistent, and stress-free for both pets and their owners. I always make sure pets feel safe and cared for, whether I’m coming to your home or they’re staying with me. I stick to their usual routine, follow any special instructions, and I’m totally fine with crate use if that’s part of their setup. My space is pet-friendly, and when Royal (my bernedoodle) is home, he’s super friendly and good with other animals. I keep walks safe, avoid risky situations, and always send updates so you’re never left wondering how your pet’s doing.

“Taryn couldn't have been more pleasant and accommodating. I definitely trust her with my dog and love her photo updates. Will be using her again in a few weeks!”


“Amy has always been so wonderful housing and watching Appa for me when I’m out of town. I have always felt safe leaving Appa with her and that she’s taken care of.”


“Cindy is the best! Great communication and my dogs get so excited when we pull up in her driveway. They always come home happy, so I know they were well taken care of. Thanks!”
