“Our dogs had a blast at Nicole’s place. They got to run around in her nice fenced in yard, played a lot of fetch and got to cool off in the kiddie pool. Nicole and her family are obviously dog lovers and I was so happy we left our girls with them. I would highly recommend Nicole to care for your pups as if they were her own.”
“Hope was very kind and caring with our little Bella. She took the time to get Bella comfortable with her other pups and sent updates about how Bella was doing during her stay.”
“John was great with our nervous Velcro dog. John is definitely a dog/animal person who can quickly read them and see what level of interaction they’re comfortable with. We plan to book with John for future dog-free trips.”
“Briana made me feel so at ease leaving Moose, even on short notice. He was clearly relaxed, happy, and safe in her care. The thoughtful updates and outstanding photos meant the world. We’re so grateful—and will absolutely book again!”
About: I have had dogs for all of my life. Through the years I have had a Great Dane, a Doberman, and several mixed-breed dogs. I understand the unique needs of different breeds and am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as I work from home, managing multiple online jobs. This allows me to be flexible and available throughout the day to give your pet attention, exercise, and any care they need, ensuring they feel comfortable and well-cared for while you're away. I live in a somewhat secluded area, which makes it easy to take dogs outside for walks or playtime, either on-leash or off-leash, depending on their comfort level and training. My home has plenty of space for dogs to play indoors, so they can stay active and entertained no matter the weather. I prioritize a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for pets, both inside and outside.
“Ericca was wonderful with our new dog, Arlo. Arlo is a rescue and he is reactive to other dogs and Ericca knew just how to handle him. Arlo spent the entire day with Ericca and he had a great time. We will definitely be working with her again!”
“Had a meet and greet afternoon for Skipper and Mady was so great! Mady communicated during the stay and Skipper did well with her dog and kitty. We will be using Mady again for sure <3”
“Elli was great. We needed someone to sit for our dog while we relaxed and went out to dinner while on vacation. We love to travel with our dog but hate to leave him in the room while we go out by ourselves. As it turns out, Ellie lives near the inn we stayed at and works there too! She very conveniently picked up our dog right at the inn and dropped him off when we were done for the evening. She also took a picture of our dog and was available to text to see how he was doing. He enjoyed playing with her dogs and I would definitely contact Elli again if traveling in the area.”
“Laura was very welcoming and I felt confident leaving my anxious dog with her. Her property is a beautiful place for animals to spend the day. We had a nice conversation at pick up and I appreciate her kindness. My dog was very comfortable with her.”
About: I have 2 cats and 3 dogs myself, and will treat yours like one of my own. I have experience living with every breed of dog from husky, to pitbull, to cockapoo, to chocolate lab, and currently have a German Sheppard as well as 2 Mini Australian Sheppards. I work from home as an engineer, and my work hours are pretty flexible as a result of that. Im conveniently located on Rt 7a! My typical day ends around 3:30 so I have plenty of time in the evening for your pup! Watch it as my own dog & burn some of that energy! I have experience with e-collars and walking dogs on a leash. Some days I will be accompanied by my dogs to help keep your dogs company - with your permission.
“Letícia took great care of Juni and was very thoughtful about making sure Juni was comfortable. Letícia is very responsible and caring and capable. I will definitely be using Letícia again! Do not hesitate to book!”
About: I've had dogs of various breeds since I was 7, and participated in competitive dog obedience and agility training in high school. I love to go on walks, and would look forward to getting to known your pet! I work from home, so I am around most if not all of the time. Our backyard is fenced and I love to take regular walks! I can care for your pet at my home or yours! Let me know your pets needs and we can find a schedule that best suits you.
“Mike and Laura cared for my pup like she was their own. My dog is a little anxious and overly excitable but Mike took that all in his stride. He sent photos throughout the day and I could quickly see she felt right at home. She had a long walk and lots of playtime with her favorite game of frisbee. The night before we had a big snow storm and Mike was excellent at keeping me up to date on the road conditions. I will be happy to go back another time.”
About: Hi! As you can see, I'm not charging a lot (I set it to the minimum for Rover which is $15).... The main reason I am doing this is to get a playmate for my energetic Boston. He is very well behaved and friendly but needs dogs around to play with while I work. I am very safe with my dogs and make sure they are getting along and happy. I have a nice fenced-in area.... I only want to take care of dogs that will want to play with my dog for the day:). Overnights an option but for now, just offering day care on here. thanks! I work full-time from home, or if I goto my solo office, I would take the dogs. (Office is pet friendly and it's not far from my home) I am very good with dogs and have had them a long time. I would treat your dog like my own while they are here.

About: I am a well experienced dog owner, having had at least one dog since I was 8. I currently have two dogs, Moose and Banyan. They get along well with other dogs and people. I love dogs, cats, and animals of any kind. I am highly respectful and dependable, with references I can provide if desired. I have reliable transportation and a private property that I own. There is no fence, however, there are six acres. If you want to get pictures and check ins, even videos I’m your pet sitter! If you want minimal updates and to not worry about a thing, I’m also your pet sitter! I also have experience providing medications and can keep continuity with your training preferences. Thank you! I work from home most days. Other days I am flexible to come home for restroom breaks or bring them along. When I work from home I am near the animals. A client’s pet will be treated like my own. I have half the house where pets are allowed and if needed I can separate animals into different areas of the house.

Richard & Hope R.
“Richard has been renting from me for about six months and helping with the dogs I have here when I get busy. He has helped in the past when I have needed an extra helper with some of the dogs I have. He helps me to organize the feeding and sometimes brings them out for walks so we can get them out in a timely manner. He is a loving and responsible person who can be trusted with your dog as he has always had dogs in his life, getting his first dog (a Great Dane mix) when he was ten years old. He has cared for my dog Maebe numerous times and she loves him dearly.”

Laura R.
“I cannot say enough good things about Laura! She is incredibly responsible, efficient, hardworking, and kind. She shows up on time for every job and makes sure to get all the details right. She is also so great with animals, and I have personally seen her watch and care for many pets (including my own). In all this, she has never cut corners - instead, she finds out what the owner wants and what's best for the pet, then does it to the best of her ability. Laura is terrific and I would hands down recommend her services to anyone.”

Coryn B.
“Coryn was one of the best dog sitters I’ve had so far. She was always on time and so good with my two dogs and three cats, who are no easy clan to deal with. I am very picky with who I let watch them because they have specific feeding and care instructions, she followed all of them well and devoted a lot of time to their care. I can tell she is an animal lover and really cares about their well being. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.”
