“Ciara was amazing she watched our Bo for us she kept us updated with our boxer with photos and text to let us know how he’s doing. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our Bo will definitely be using her again!”
“We had never left Hazel with anyone before, not even family or friends, because she was always able to go with us, or either me or my husband was with her. But we needed to travel out of town and wouldn't be able to take her. We didn't have any family or friends available to keep her, so we talked about taking her to a puppy resort but after thinking about it we didn't think it would be the best for her. Our neighbor had told us about Rover and that they take their dog to Cathy and she was really good with their dog.....so we decided to take a chance and we are so glad we did. Cathy was so great with Hazel -she treated her like her own. Cathy knew we were going to miss our baby and she would send us pictures and updates. When we picked Hazel up she was happy to see us but you could see that she had been well taken care of. We are so grateful for Cathy. We definitely will be using her again and telling others that need doggie care about her....thank you again Cathy!”
“Absolutely ? % perfect. John, Rachel and the kids are warm and welcoming. They were perfect with our fur baby. I especially loved receiving daily pictures and updates. We will definitely use them again.”

“Reese loved staying at Sarah's house. He got extra spoiled with love and attention from her kids. Reese just fit right into the family, he truly felt at home with them.”
“My fur baby had an extended stay, and by extended I mean 6weeks that turned into 7weeks that turned into almost 8weeks (due to circumstances not in my control); but Mackenzie was very flexible and accommodating, allowing me to pick up and spend time with my pup when I was in town. He always had lots of other doggy friends to play with or given space if he needed it. He has anxiety and I was so worried about him coping with being away from me but Mackenzie handle all his strange quirks well.”
“I had a family member pass away and needed a place for my dog to stay very last minute. Naji was quick to accommodate my dog, Willow, and made sure I had pictures and updates in a stressful time. It was super rainy while we were gone, but Willow still had a fun time! She even got a bath from Naji! I have a vacation planned for July and plan on using Naji again because she’s so good with my baby.”
“Dragana was amazing with our 1 year old dog! She had him for a week and sent updates, pictures, and videos multiple times a day. She gave him so much attention all week with walks, dog park visits, and backyard time. Our dog was definitely sad to leave, we will definitely be using her again!”
“Belinda was wonderful with our little Teddy for a long 10 day stay. Her home is warm and welcoming. She texted us updates with pictures while we were away. I will continue to use her for future bookings. Thank you for everything!!”
“We cannot say enough good things about Sharon as a dog sitter. She and her husband made our fur-baby Callie feel like she was just at an extension of our home. It made our vacation stress-free knowing Callie was being taken care of so well. This was our first time leaving Callie with a sitter and we wouldn’t hesitate to do it again with Sharon.”
“Laurie is an absolute gem! She has a genuine love and passion for dogs. She took care of my furry baby as if it were her own, providing playtime, and attention. Her communication was top-notch that put my mind at ease. Laurie is reliable, professional, and goes above and beyond to ensure both pets and owners are happy. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pup like royalty, Laurie is the one. 10/10, highly recommend!”
About: I have two years of veterinary assistant experience as well as the experience of owning my own pets. I have assisted in pre-and post operative care as well as recovery. I also have experience with day to day activities such as administering medications, sublax injections, feeding schedules, and exercise. I am currently self employed and I own 6 pets! My schedule is VERY flexible and allows for adequate animal care required for walks or boarding! Providing a safe and reliable environment is my baseline for working with your furbabies. Pets are family and I understand the love and compassion we have for our furry friends. For boarding, we have a doggie door that leads to a fenced in backyard. We manually feed twice a day with Purina Pro. If you would like different food, please provide. Feeding schedules for boarding is able to be altered according to your dog’s needs. We do have a XL dog crate as well if you want them crated at night or when I am not home. I am home majority of the day and only leave for errands. However, our dogs do not need to be crated and cats have access to the doggie door 100% of the time and they sleep with us so if you allow that, they will be free rein indoors at night! I do take my dogs on walks daily so if you would like your dogs to also go on daily walks while being boarded, just let me know—no extra charge since I’m already walking my babies! Meet and Greets for Boarding will be conducted at my house so you can see where your doggie will be staying! For Pet Sitting, I find it best to work around your specific situations and needs! We can discuss at meet and greet on rules for household and feeding schedules, any allergies, etc. Meet and Greets for pet sitting are conducted at your place of residence to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for meeting your furbabies. It also allows you to show me where you store food, toys, treats, etc.
