“David and his wife are phenomenal! David is always punctual and quick to respond to requests. I have a dog with seperation anxiety so it can be difficult to find a good sitter. They are very caring folks and care about your dogs well being during their stay. I cannot say enuf good things! I feel very lucky to have them as an option if I need a dog sitter!”

“Hi Elizabeth, I just wanted to say thank you for taking such great care of Fox! I really appreciated the updates while I was away. It’s clear you gave her lots of attention and care, and I could tell she was happy and comfortable with you. I’d absolutely trust you again and would happily recommend you to others. Thanks again!”
“Henry has no anxiety when I drop him off and he is always calm and content when I pick him up. Courtney obviously cares well for the dogs trusted to her. I appreciate her flexibility in the times I drop off and pick up.”

About: I genuine care and give attention to every dog as if they were my own. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I’m comfortable working with puppies who are still learning routines, including basic training and potty schedules, and I’m also gentle and mindful with senior dogs who may need slower walks, medication reminders, or extra comfort. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away. I currently work only 2 days out of the week, but my schedule is very flexible, and can switch days if need be! Will accommodate I care for pets by making sure they stay comfortable and follow the routine they’re used to. In a client’s home, I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention so pets feel safe while their owner is away. I also keep the home tidy and make sure pets stay on their normal schedule. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean environment with supervised play, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of affection. I always pay close attention to each pet’s needs, personality, and any special instructions from the owner to make sure they feel happy and cared for.
About: Hello! We recently had to put our elderly bernedoodle, Holly, down so we are hoping to fill a doggie void in our house! She was very loved and very missed. We have three children so your dog must be mild tempered towards kids. They are very much looking forward to "babysitting" some dogs! We would love to make a new pup friend who is laid back, easy going and just loves to hang out. We have a fenced in backyard for your pup to explore and burn some energy. Your dog will go on walks, play in the yard and get a lot of cuddles! If you are one who loves pictures (which we totally were), I'm happy to send a multitude! Please let me know if you have any questions or if you'd like to schedule a meet & greet! I hope to hear from you soon! Meghan I will try to accommodate your schedule as much as possible; walks, potty breaks, meal times, etc. There will be plenty of outside time as well as plenty of cuddles. The backyard is fenced so your dog can freely and safely burn energy and explore. The main level is big enough for your pup to play in as well.
“Val (Sarge) has been great for our Bernedoodle, with a few overnight stays and a daycare stay over the last couple months. He's seen her grow from about 20 pounds to 50 pounds and has treated her very well. We also appreciate the training advice! We would recommend Val and his wife to anyone looking for a trusting spot to drop their pup.”
“I just can't say enough about how amazing Sarah and Zach are and how much it means to us to have our active social 1 1/2 year old lab in their care. They understand him, take care of him as one of their own and make it so easy to coordinate and communicate.”

“Another great visit for Wesley. He absolutely loves going to Erin’s house. Got there and he ran right up to the door. He gets tons of love and has a playmate whom he met through Rover named Willow. Can’t say enough about Erin and her family. They are beyond wonderful.”


“Shelly was so great with my Vinnie. It was his first time staying with Shelly and he clearly had a blast. He came home happy but exhausted - perfect win. I'm so grateful Shelly was willing and able to care for Vinnie on pretty short notice - we will definitely be back :)”

“Sue and Molly took wonderful care of my dog, Bentley. I could tell he loved them too! They sent lots of photos and were willing to share updates any time. He was exhausted by the end of each day. I appreciate their flexibility as well.”

“Our pup had so much fun with Alyssa and her dogs! We were nervous using Rover for the first time but Alyssa was communicative and responsive with us throughout the entire process! Ada can’t wait for her next visit :)”

“Jackie took great care of Millie when we went out of town for the day. Millie had a long walk and got to play in the yard with the hose. She was all tuckered out when she came home at the end of the day.”

About: Hi my name is Yee Lam but everyone calls me Suki. I grew up with dogs and am a dog lover. I had a beloved toy poodle named Seven for 15 years, who was truly the best dog and a cherished member of our family. I’m a full-time mom, and when my son (9) and daughter (7) are in school, I have plenty of free time to care for pets—playing with them, feeding them, and giving them all the attention they need. My kids love dogs too, and I think this is a wonderful way for them to learn the joys and responsibilities of having a puppy. I’m available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays after 9 a.m. We have a spacious yard for safe outdoor play, and our neighborhood is calm, family-friendly, and right next to a school, with no major roads nearby, so you can feel at ease knowing your dog will be safe on our walks.
“Emily’s care was absolutely amazing! Her communication is spectacular and she sends many updates. Under her care, I could tell she treated our pup just like one of her own. We will definitely be back!!”

About: I have always had a dog in my like and have been the sole provider for at least a year in each dogs life that I have had. My dog I have now is almost two years old and I have also dog sat for neighbors, friends, and coworkers numerous times. I am currently working and taking classes from home so I have more than enough time to watch the puppies and give them the attention and help that they need. If I pet sit at your home I will do things in whatever way you request and I will do my best to follow directions to a T. I live in an apartment complex so if they stay the night I will have to take them out on a leash. But regardless of where I am I will try to follow your instructions as well as call and text with any questions whether they be big or small.
About: I have grown up and cared for dogs since I was 8 years older. Neighbors, friends, and family can always count on our home being open to dogs. Our Homer loves play dates and all his four legged friends! I work remotely with a few hours in the office each week. My flexible schedule allows for frequent dog walks, feedings, etc. Whether your dog needs a walk, to be let out, or wants to come over to our home, we would love to help! We have a large fenced in yard making it easy for our furry friends to run and play! We treat every dog as if it’s our own.
