“Doug and his family are amazing! My boys are not easy to take care of and are very temperamental. I was very worried about boarding them. They don't do well with strangers or other dogs but somehow they felt right at home at Doug's. I can tell they really enjoyed themselves during their stay. They were very well taken care of and were surely spoiled with attention. They treated my pups like family. ? I'm so relieved and happy that I found a "vacation home" for my babies.”


“Our dogs loved this place! David and Jeanette sent lots of updates and were great with our dogs. They have a beautiful property that is perfect for pets.”

“Marisa and Family were awesome, I would leave Buster with them anytime. They were very loving and kept me in the loop all the time especially with pics. I would definitely recommend leaving your pet with them overnight or just for the day A++++++++++++++++”


“Martin took great care of our senior dogs while we were out of town for three nights. Would definitely let him care for them again in the future. Highly recommend choosing Martin!”


“Linda provided great care for my mini poodle for 6 nights. I was out of town and Linda sent email updates daily sent one video of her playing. The messages were reassuring that she was happy and safe. When I travel again I will definitely have Linda take care of my dog.”


“Jennifer was amazing! She took great care of our two dogs and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Both pups were happy and well-loved when we got back. She was responsible, communicative, and clearly has a natural way with animals. We’ll definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”


“We are happy to have found Brandon & Mya and plan on using them again in the future. They provide daily updates with pictures to let us know our furry one was happily enjoying his stay with them. They provide daily walks and play time, giving him exactly what he needed. Thank you again for the care!!”


“I had an amazing experience with our dog sitter! They took excellent care of our dogs and went above and beyond to ensure they had a blast. Our pups absolutely loved the pool time and had so much fun splashing around. It was clear that our sitter prioritized their safety and well-being throughout their stay. We couldn't have asked for a better caregiver for our furry friends. Highly recommended!”


“Kevin was just the person I needed to take care of my dog while I was working out of town and my family wasn’t home to watch my dog. He has the perfect set up to keep any size dog fed, safe, and well taken care of and he has the room for a handful of dogs too! He and his kids took the time to take my dog out for walks. I will definitely reach out to him when in need again. Thanks Kevin!”


“Bennie has become a regular with Heather and she is so amazing with him. I love that I can leave knowing he’s having a great time with her pack and he’s in a loving home. I’m so grateful we found her.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and pets for a few years through family and friends. I’m reliable and affordable. Make sure the pups are taken care of and get lots of love. I work full time right now Monday through Friday some 730am to 4pm. But available in later afternoons and evenings for walks. Weekends I’m usually available.during the week, I work from home and in the office twice a week. I can do boarding during the week if needed. In my home, I make sure the pets are comfortable and have a place to sleep. Make them feel cozy and crates that are spacious to feel at home.

“Cecilia has done a phenomenal job once again. She keeps us updated every day with how my dog is doing, how she ate/slept. Our dog came home very happy :)”


“Ronald was a fantastic dog sitter! He had a meet & greet with us beforehand to see how our dog would get along with the other dogs to make sure she was comfortable. His communication was excellent too! He sent pictures with updates throughout the whole stay. I highly recommend him.”


“Diana was absolutely fabulous and wonderful host. Mimi had an amazing time with her and her furry pals. We got regular updates (pictures and videos ) and Diana kept us in loop at all times with her food intake , walks and how things were progressing. I would love to leave Mimi again with her if there any such opportunity, as I know and trust Diana.”


“Amazing! Wonderful care, attentive to my pet, lots of photos and texts. I will use Angela again due to the kindness shown to my pet and responsiveness to my requests. Deserves more than 5 stars!”


“My sweet girl stayed with Abby and her family for a week. I could not have felt more confident and assured that they were loving and caring. I received the cutest pictures daily. They are super friendly and attentive! My favorite Rover sitter! 🙏🏼💝 Even if I have to drive almost 30 minutes to drop Frida off!”


“Mei and Andy do a wonderful job with Grizzly! He loves going over to stay with Mango. He gets to plays a lot and get outside for walks and adventures!”


“Pilar was awesome. She made my baby feel so at home he didn't want to leave when I went to pick him up. She updated me on how he was doing and sent pictures as well. I will book again with her.”


“Caring for geriatric dogs is never easy, and Lisa along with her son did a nice job over the recent holiday weekend. Although my Snuggles is a sweet pup, she doesn’t always go by the script - and Lisa did a nice job adapting. Snuggles sometimes resists taking her medication and is a bit of a loner, and when in the presence of other dogs and not in her familiar surroundings she becomes anxious and develops the shakes. I think what impressed me most was Lisa’s genuine concern for Snuggles’ care. We remained in constant contact each day with pictures of my little girl. It took a few days but Snuggles seems to have recovered. So while I wouldn’t be able to utilize Lisa’s services in her home again because of her other pet, I would definitely call on Lisa to stay with Snuggles in our home. You can be sure your pet is safe with Lisa and Logan.”


“Savanah was so caring to our 16 year old dog, Zulu. Unfortunately, our senior dog requires extra attention due to his dementia and separation anxiety. Savanah showed compassion and made every effort to care for Zulu and make him feel comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you, Savanah for everything! We really appreciate it.”
