“I had a great experience with Rebecca. She was very thorough in explaining her process and showing me exactly where my dog would be kept. You could immediately tell she truly cares about dogs and is a genuine dog lover. I felt completely safe and comfortable leaving my dog in her care. Highly recommend!”

About: I have a friendly dog that always wants a new friend. I have plenty of time to be able to spend time with your fur baby to ensure they feel welcomed and at home. **hablo español tambien** I currently work from home. I can be here for your fur baby all day and night the same way that I already am for my fur child. Your dog’s well-being is my #1 priority. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pup can feel secure and cared for—whether it’s for a short visit or an extended stay. Safety First: I carefully follow all instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, leash use, crate routines, and more. I only use your leashes or secure, well-maintained leashes, harnesses, and gates to ensure your dog stays safe at all times—indoors and outdoors. I supervise all playtime (especially with toys or other dogs) to prevent any accidents or overstimulation. Trust & Communication: I treat your pet like one of my own—with patience, kindness, and respect. I'm reliable, punctual, and committed to maintaining your dog's regular routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. A Calm, Clean & Comfortable Space: Whether I’m staying in your home or welcoming your dog into mine, I create a peaceful environment with cozy resting areas, fresh water, and a consistent routine. I take cleanliness seriously and always make sure the space is tidy, sanitized, and safe for all pets. Your dog will have plenty of love, attention, and the space to relax, play, and just be themselves. Let me take care of your dog with the same love and attention you would give them yourself—so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Our puppy has been going to Sky since we brought him home at 12 weeks. She has been dependable and reliable and now at just eight months old, he knows when we are pulling into her neighborhood and gets so excited to go play! She has also helped to support our training efforts and there is not anyone I could imagine trusting more with him. He gets so excited when he sees her that I never question leaving him. Plus her prices are comparable to a kennel but he’s not locked up all day! Even if I didn’t “need” to drop him off at doggy day care, I probably still would take him just for the socialization and continued training he gets when he is there.”

“Alissa was great! (Thank you😉) drop off and pick up were a breeze and Charli was in great spirits upon pick up. Alissa sent pics during the day and I felt at ease seeing she was in good hands. I will definitely book with Alissa again.”

About: I grew up in a place where I took care of many types of animals, especially cats and dogs. I am very loving and affectionate. I am currently working from home, so I have almost all day to walk and play with your pet. I have a very large yard where they can run around without being in danger on the streets. I take care of them from my home. I have a very large yard where they can play and run around a bit, and a porch where they can get some fresh air without getting dirty.
“Angie is the sweetest and truly loves all the fur babies as her own! I am very pleased with doggy day care our sweet mini poodle received! Angie sent several videos which put my heart at ease while I was away. Highly recommend 👍🏼”

“Elena and her parents take amazing care of our puppy, Millie. They are so patient with her puppy behaviors and give her lots of exercise to work off her boundless energy. Communication is outstanding-I always know how Millie’s time with Elena went. I have utilized Rover for many years with previous dogs and can definitely say that Happy Tails is one of the absolute best!”

“Katherine did an awesome job watching Alfie for a full day. She took some great photos and kept me updated throughout the day. I’ll definitely use her in the future, highly recommend!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, communication, and attention I give every pet. I understand owners are trusting me with a family member, so 1 make it a priority to keep pets comfortable, safe, and loved while also keeping owners updated with photos and check-ins. I'm dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy making animals feel at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely and have flexibility with my schedule. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and casual walks instead of long periods alone. I genuinely enjoy having animals around and love creating a calm, comfortable environment where they feel safe, cared for, and part of the household. I provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment for pets in my care. In my home, pets will receive lots of attention, affection, supervised outdoor time, and companionship throughout the day. I also have a very friendly small Chihuahua and a husband who loves animals and helps make pets feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to stick to their normal routine so they feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while their owners are away.
About: Animals are angels on Earth and I love meeting new animals and caring for them. While I am caring for your furbabies, they will receive love and your directions will be followed. I believe in communication and honesty, so you have nk worries while I am caring for them. Trust is very important to me. I hope to me you and your furbabies soon! I am currently available anytime! I am looking for long term or as needed basis! I am flexible and reliable so you never have to worry! I would love to take your babies on runs, long walks, nearby dog parks and would love to spend time with them! I am athletic and love to hike also!
“Lina is great with Morgan! He has just started with her and we can tell he likes her. He is happy to see her and her puppies every morning. She reports his daily activities (eating, potty, playtime). She sends photos and videos and texts us updates through out the day. It's great to see how he is doing through the day! When we pick him up he falls asleep in the car on the way home, we know he has had a good day!! We are Very happy with Lina!”
“Cristina was very accommodating of my dog Pogo for a last-minute daycare reservation. She sent lots of pictures that gave me a comfortable feeling. He had some needs and restrictions that she clearly followed which I appreciated very much. She is a very considerate sitter and understands the importance of what she's doing.”

About: I have been a pet owner my entire life. I love all types of pets but especially dogs. I also crate train dogs as well. I will treat your furry pet just like my own. I am able to watch your furry friend anytime of the week. They will have lots of outdoor time to play and potty in our fenced back yard. I have a fenced back yard for your pets safety.

About: 💵 💰 First time booking with me? Use the following link for up to 20$ off your first booking: https://www.rover.com/sit/sabrib09427 💰 💵! I've always had pets in my home, ranging from dogs and cats to birds and rodents. My friends and family trust me to care for their fur babies when they're away, and I genuinely enjoy having a house full of critters. I've fostered, adopted, bottle-fed, and administered medication (including injections) as needed. Your pets will be walked three times a day (unless you prefer the backyard), with each walk lasting between 10-40 minutes. They will have unlimited access to the yard throughout the day. I will always be home with the animals, ensuring they are never alone. Your pets will be treated like family, and I'll send 5-7 pictures and videos daily to keep you updated, unless you prefer fewer updates. I work from home and have been a nurse since 2012, so I have plenty of time to play with and give attention to your pets, as well as health experience. I'm available seven days a week, at any time, and I'm very flexible to accommodate your needs. My home features a 1,500 sq ft fenced yard with separate areas to accommodate different pets, so you don't have to worry about other people in the home. It's always myself and my teen son in our spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home, which has multiple furnished rooms where your pets can relax. We even have a room fitted for dogs with a full-sized canopy bed, TV for doggy entertainment, and a calm environment! All animals are welcome on the furniture because they are part of the family. If you prefer your pets not to be on the furniture, please let me know. I am very meticulous about cleanliness and mop the floors every morning and evening. For long-term boarding, we wash the dog beds, toys, and harnesses once a week (air-dried to avoid damage). I never have more than 2-3 pets at a time (including yours) to ensure they get the care, attention, and love they deserve. All pets from different homes are kept separated to avoid any potential conflict or injury. Although I have one friendly dog who gets along with all pets, my 16-year-old son keeps him with him when we have pet guests over. We have several crates, leashes, bowls, and other essentials available if needed. Your pets' bowls are cleaned after each meal, and I make sure to keep them cool and hydrated. Your pets will have the run of the house, but I can crate them if needed. I currently work Tuesday-Saturday from 9am-6PM remotely as a nurse, and work from home full time. If you happen to see a day that is unavailable that you might need help with, please reach out and I can try to make it work for you. I am very flexible and open to discussion! Please note: I am a single momma to a teeny bopper & I currently work Tuesday-Saturday from 9am-6PM remotely as a nurse, working from home full time. If you happen to see a day that is unavailable that you might need help with, please reach out and I can try to make it work for you. I am very flexible and open to discussion! Meet & Greet availability (depending on pets in the home) would have to be any time after 615 PM on Tuesdays - Saturdays. I sometimes have availability on Sundays & Mondays for meet and greets, but this is typically when I am fully booked and may not be able to show you the full house as I’d prefer to. I also take time to clean extra on my days off & spend time with my kiddo on these days (when he lets me 😂) so I try to save these days from meet & greets. I currently work Tuesday-Saturday from 9am-6PM remotely as a nurse, and work from home full time. If you happen to see a day that is unavailable that you might need help with, please reach out and I can try to make it work for you. I am very flexible and open to discussion! I have a fenced in yard, 2 crates, and many leashes if your pet prefers to be walked. I am willing to feed on your schedule, and will play and cuddle with them very often. I can also shower your pets if short to medium hair if you provide shampoo at no service and are okay with it!
About: My last pet was a blue nose pit, his name was Apollo. We got him when he was only 8 weeks old. I trained him and loved him dearly. He was such a big part of our family, He was a beautifulI soul! As he got older, even though it was hard to see his aging, I was grateful to be part of the process and be able to help him when times were rough. He left me with a void and a lot of love to give. I’m not quite ready for my own yet, but I would love to share my love and time with your fur baby. I have a pretty flexible schedule I work from home. My hours are 8 to 5. I take frequent breaks and I go on walks frequently. I’m a workout nut so I love to get outside and enjoy the day. I try to make sure that schedules are followed as well as incorporating activities when time permits I feel it’s very important for exercise. I always try to make sure that my visitors are comfortable and happy
