“During my trip, Bella kept me posted about Coffee’s walks and her integration with Bella’s family and the other dogs. Coffee looked very happy and clearly enjoyed spending time with her new buddies, walking and sniffing around the property. Thank you, Bella, for providing such excellent care for my Coffee!”

“Natasha was amazing with my energetic doodle Saffron. She and her family took great care of her while I was on a work trip and she sent me lots of pictures and updates throughout. Thank you!”

About: I have cared for many pets of friends and family members over the years. Sadly, I had to put my own dog down this fall (13yo Boxer named Neeco) and am looking to get my pup fix through volunteering at the SPCA and pet-sitting/walking, as I am not quite ready to take on another dog just yet. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, but I especially love senior doggos. I currently work part-time as an RN and make my own schedule, so am very flexible in that regard. Available for boarding most weekends Friday-Monday. My yard is unfenced but on a very private road with low traffic. Lots of trails and streams to explore if that is something your fur baby would enjoy! If not, we have a large deck and screened in porch for outdoor lounging, and big comfy couch by the fireplace for them to relax.

“Our dog had a great time with Stacey and family. She had a wonderful yard that gave our high-energy pup lots of room. Stacey’s confidence with dogs made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. Stacey sent pictures and communicated with us as needed.”

About: I am a medical professional for 20 years, with summers off (yes, I feel blessed ;) which provides flexibility from May to August. So let me know when you're headed on vacation or have other summer activities planned, if you need boarding, dog walking, drop ins or house/pet sitting. I'm an active mom to two teen boys, and a dog mom to Red Fox Lab named Coby who is 3. We spend lots of time outdoors, playing, walking, porch sitting and having doggy play dates. I have summers off from May through August, looking to connect our family and our lab Coby with your fur baby for a fun summer days We live in a safe community with lots of options for play just a short walk away with the many parks Bridgewater has to offer. Large home, open yard but have electric fencing, a fixed outdoor lead, a crate available and a sweet Lab named Coby who loves other friends to play with. If I come to you we can cater more specifically to your dogs preferences.
“I can’t recommend Jani and Paul enough! They were prompt with communication and flexible in scheduling drop off/pickup times. Birdie seemed to have a blast there and will definitely rebook their services the next time I need it.”

About: I kind of fell into the dog sitting fun. My mom used to “sit” with every kind of being from baby to dog before it became a popular hustle. Growing up I’ve always helped and learned from her how to care for other’s family members as one’s own. In my spare time, I love to hike and I walk everyday. I'd love to have your companion as a sidekick on these adventures. Or even just enjoy a leisurely walk. Coming into one’s home is an act of trust and a privilege. This is not lost on me. I have every intention of respecting the needs and privacy of my clients.
“We were nervous leaving our 6-month-old puppy for the first time, but Cory made it a wonderful experience for us and our pup. Cory was easy to communicate with; he provided lots of photos and updates when we were gone and Riley seemed very happy and content when we went to pick her up. We would definitely like to have Cory watch Riley again.”

“We are absolutely thrilled with the care Ashley provided for Tilly while we were away. Her attention to detail and genuine affection for dogs made our trip so much more relaxing, knowing Tilly was in good hands. Ashley went above and beyond, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to any pet owner looking for top-notch boarding services. Thank you, Ashley, for treating Tilly like part of your family!”

“We can’t say enough good things about Tiffanie! From the moment we met her, it was clear how knowledgeable and responsible she is — and most importantly, how much she genuinely loves dogs. She treated our pups like they were her own, and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. One of the absolute highlights was how many adorable photos she sent us — it truly made our day every time a new one came in. You can tell she goes the extra mile not just in caring for the dogs, but also in making sure you feel connected to them while you're apart. We’re so grateful to have found Tiffanie. She’s everything you could hope for in a sitter: professional, kind, thoughtful, and truly passionate about animals. We would absolutely trust her again in a heartbeat!”

“Dana was amazing and took such good care of Bentley while we were on vacation! She communicated daily and sent us adorable pictures that let us know he was living his best life while we were away. He was very happy and content when he came home. I would 100% recommend her and would use her again the next time we go away.”

“Nicole did an amazing job with our 2 pups. Great communication and responded quickly to our request, even on short notice. She sent pics with updates, which I greatly appreciated!”
“Pamela was wonderful! She met our pups before her stay and I could tell immediately that she confident and comfortable around dogs. Our normally hesitant pups wanted all her attention, no questions asked right at hello. Over her stay in our home with our pups she did all the things we would do with them if not more since all her focus was on them for the weekend. I would definitely recommend Pamela to other and would love to have her back again. I came home to happy and content pups.”

About: I’ve had six amazing dogs in my life, and before leaving for college, I cared for four all on my own—they were truly my pride and joy. Dogs have always been a huge part of my world, and even the shy or scared ones seem to find comfort with me. I once wanted to be a vet because of how much I love animals, but I realized I couldn’t handle seeing dogs in pain. That love now drives my passion for pet care. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just some quality snuggles, I give every dog the same love and attention I’d give my own. I’m currently in college which only takes up some of my days, so I have plenty of free time during the day to care for your pups. My flexible schedule allows me to give them the attention, walks, and playtime they need to stay happy and loved while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, loving environment where dogs feel secure and cared for, whether they’re full of energy or a little shy. I always follow any instructions you provide closely and keep a close eye on your pup to ensure they’re happy, healthy, and stress-free. I treat every dog like my own, with lots of love, patience, and respect for their unique personality and needs. You can trust that your pup is in safe, caring hands with me.
“Caitlynn was fantastic. We came in from out of state and she kept our six-month-old lab puppy, Bailey. Caitlynn went the extra mile and took care of her when she got sick during the stay. Much appreciated, would recommend.”

“Jon and his family were very gracious hosts for our furry family member. He was very thorough in asking about our beagle’s needs and provided all necessities for a successful stay: crate, bed, fenced yard, and lots of play and spoiling! It was comforting knowing that it was more of a retreat for our dog than boarding, and Jon went above and beyond to make things easy and successful. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in his hands and will be return customers! Thanks!”

“Esther was excellent! It was very apparent that our dog was in great hands. There were many dog park trips and I could tell from the pictures I received that my dog was having an awesome vacation of her own. If you are looking for someone who loves animals and will treat your dog as their own, look no further! Thanks again, Esther!”

Dayton pet parents share their Rover experiences
Walter had a wonderful time with Elizabeth. She kept us informed how Walter was doing with pictures and texts. Walter even made a new doggie friend at her house. It was lovely to be able to enjoy our vacation and know that Walter was well cared for. My husband and I would recommend Elizabeth to anyone who asks. Thank you!

Celia was amazing! She sent plenty of updates - both photos and videos- and I felt great seeing how well cared for my dog was while I was away. She did slow introductions with her dogs so everyone felt comfortable. I would be happy to leave Bean Sprout with Celia again!
