1. Karen F.

“This was our first experience with Rover and a pet sitter, so we didn’t know what to expect. Karen has watched Daisy twice in the last week and did a fantastic job. Daisy was very comfortable with Karen and we will definitely look to use her in the future.”


2. Ashley N.


“Ashley did an excellent job taking great care of our dog. Thanks to her we were able to take our kids to the children's museum which is close by. I could tell our dog was in caring hands. I recommend her highly!”


3. Sadie & Szymon G.

“Sadie and Szymon did a phenomenal job with my Otter! They went on a long walk, and Otter got to play with their dogs in their beautiful yard! They treated Otter like one of their own, and I highly recommend them!”


4. Gary M.

“Gary is outstanding with Otter! Otter has so much fun at Gary's doggie resort that he grabs his 'adventure' bag and brings it to me to remind me it's time to go to Gary's for daycare! I highly recommend him, he is fantastic!”


5. Katelyn D.

“Katelyn was super friendly and helpful. My dog loved it at her home.”


6. Anthony V.

“Anthony was great with our two shepherds. We were able to book a day before and he was very flexible as we weren’t sure how long our visit of the college would last. Dogs were happy and we were too.”


7. Athena C.

“Athena and her husband were great with Max. Will definitely try them again when in the area.”

9. Ashley H.

“My pups loved going to Ashley’s! We had a last minute booking and I am very grateful to have found her. One of my pups is skittish and she took to her right away. You can tell Ashley loves dogs and they love her. Thank you again Ashley!”


10. Rebecca F.

“Rebecca is fantastic! Stormy had a great day with her and felt right at home. After daycare, Rebecca dropped her off at my house (before I was home) and got her all settled for me. I came home to a happy and tired dog. I loved getting all the pictures and videos and updates!”


11. Gabrielle D.


“Gabrielle is great and Charlie had a great time with her! Her yard is spacious and Charlie loves running around with her dog. Highly recommend and we’ll definitely be a repeat customer!”

13. Sheila R.
“Piper had an awesome day with Sheila and Dakota!! She loved playtime and her walks and we loved getting photos of her day! Sheila is a great dog sitter, very attentive and had Piper's best interests in mind. Her communications were very clear and prompt. We definitely plan to use her again and would recommend her without any hesitation. Thank you so much!!”

About: Without exception, the dog park is always one of the best parts of my day. I've had three dogs of my own, and have been around countless other dogs, most of whom instantly become my new best friends. We just gravitate to each other, hence the fuzzy friend whisperer nickname. I have a playful, loving attitude toward every dog I meet. I am also sensitive to dogs who need a little more patience and space to ease into trusting me and respect the boundaries that they need to do that. My training style with my own dogs is focused on positive reinforcement rather than punishment. This approach translates to other dogs as well, unless their owners request differently. Your dog will be in caring, responsible hands with me. They will be loved. I'm self employed and work mostly from home so my schedule is quite flexible. Sometimes I’ll have drop in visits throughout the day, but if your dog is boarding with me, there will generally be someone else at home with them. They’ll rarely, if ever be left alone. I live on a small farm but also live near a road, so your dog will always be safely on a leash when we go outside for potty breaks. I have a very friendly 12 year old 45lb labradoodle named Huck to keep your baby company in the rare cases that I'm not at home. I have a "squirrel observatory" (bird feeder) right near my workspace so your dog will not only be supervised most of the time but also entertained.

“Noodle loved it!”


16. Mary L.
About: If you chose me to be the care taker of your dog you will have peace of mind knowing that they will be well cared for and happy when you come home. I grew up around dogs and currently work at a Veterinary Office where i've learned basic knowledge of caring for pets and what to do in emergencies. I also have experience at a doggy daycare, watching and caring for up to 30 dogs at a time. I understand each dog has individual needs and will always make sure they are met. I also offer group dog walking for dogs with good recall training for off leash hikes. My love for animals and my experience from working with knowledgeable veterinarians make me the perfect choice for your pet care needs. Give me a call or email to set up a time that is convenient to meet you and your furry family.


17. Stacey O.
“Stacey is a very conscientious, caring, kind, dedicated, and mindful person. She is also very diligent. She takes amazing care of her own dog. She is a very responsible person and I wholeheartedly recommend her to take care of other people's pets. You will be in amazing hands with Stacey.”


18. Nicole G.

“Nicole took great care of my dog during a daycare, and she has a safe and awesome yard. It’s always hard leaving your best friend with a new sitter, but I could tell that my dog had a great day and we will definitely come back to Nicole’s for future daycare and boarding!”


19. Josh & Nicole G.

“Josh and Nicole were kind enough to accept our last minute day care request and our pup had a great time! We were thankful for their flexibility and the extra help in motivating our dog to eat dinner.”


20. Jaclyn M.
“Jackie is the most loving pet person I have met. She has had cats, dogs, Guinea pigs, lizards and more. She is very affectionate towards them and will make sure they are safe and have a fun time. She has also watched my animals before and did a perfect job. I would definitely recommend Jackie to be your pet caregiver!”
