“Beverly was great! She sent several pictures of Lucy throughout the day. Very good communication. Lucy had a great time because she came home exhausted. Would definitely have Beverly watch Lucy again when we need a pet sitter.”

“Jenn and Brian were fantastic! They made sure Millie was comfortable and got along with their dogs very well. She was all tuckered out after I picked her up. I would use their services again!”

“Julie and Noah took great care of my two dogs. They gave me regular updates and pictures. I know they were in a loving, caring home while I was away and were treated like part of their family.”

“My dog Bruce loved his stay with Melissa and her family! They were very responsive and Bruce was sad to leave. They are very flexible, easy to work with, and I would recommend Melissa to anyone looking for dog care.”

“Mindy was amazing with my fur baby! She was able to accommodate me very last minute and kept me updated with cute pictures and videos the whole time. My dog can be rather anxious with new people and he settled in super fast with Mindy- 20/10 recommend her for your pet needs!”

“I wasn’t able to make my booking with Ashley due to some unforeseen family circumstances, but I did make sure she was paid for her inconvenience regardless. Lovely person & and I’m sure a great sitter! Hopefully, I will be able to use her services in the future!!”

“David and Cathy and were wonderful, they very friendly and appeared to genuinely enjoy caring for our 14h month old border collie. They sent regular photos and provided long walks and plenty of play time with their pet pug Sadie in their large back yard. We will definitely be arranging future visits and highly recommend.”

“Monica was so great! She was super attentive to Auggi, reached out if she noticed anything out of the norm, and did a great job at sending me photos and updates. I don't think my dog wanted to come home with me haha! Will definitely be using Monica again.”

“Stacey is the best! We went on vacation knowing how well our Lucy was taken care of and so happy! Outstanding environment with pictures sent of how our little Diva made herself at home!!”

“Michelle cared for my Louie and Louie and I were so grateful. She sent many pix throughout his stay and walked him when possible(weather permitting). Most appreciated was that Michelle was able to accommodate us when Delta canceled our flight home and Michelle kept Louie for an additional day. Would recommend her highly and will use her again”

About: As a fellow pet parent, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone new. That’s why I treat every pet like part of my own little furry family—warm cuddles, silly moments, and all. Your pet’s happiness and comfort mean everything to me. I’m available for boarding pet care on the weekends mainly. Also, open to be flexible and accommodate special requests. Please message me with your questions. I have a smaller fenced yard for quick potty breaks throughout the day and take my own two doggies for regular walks in the neighborhood as well. A minimum of 2x per day, rain or snow.
About: I tailor my services to each furry friend’s individual needs, temperament, and energy level as every pet is unique. I like to ensure every walk or drop in visit is tailored just for them. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll, energetic play, relaxation, or special needs care, your pet should receive the focused attention they deserve! I pride myself on being dependable and transparent, keeping you informed every step of the way. I can send updates and photos at your request to reassure you about your pet's care. I offer convenient and flexible scheduling options, including last-minute bookings or early/late walks. My focus is on your pet’s safety and clear communication with you! I am dedicating my non-working days to meet your pet care needs. These times include mornings, afternoons and some evenings. Please check out my calendar for availability! I do not offer services in my own home at this time as I personally have 3 dogs and 1 cat. I can however provide extra leashes, waste bags, and water as needed. If you have specific preferences or needs for your pet, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
“Courtney provided wonderful care for our dog during a lengthy two week stay. She was constantly in communication with us, sent an abundant amount of photos, and made sure our pup felt right at home. We will definitely using her again for future needs and I highly recommend her to others!”

“Jackie made it possible to leave on a 2 week vacation. All 3 of our dogs were well taken care of. Jackie did everything we asked. We will definitely ask Jackie to take care of our family again. Thank you”

“Melissa and Gregory were incredible! This was our first time using Rover and they put us immediately at ease. They welcomed our rambunctious puppy into their home with open arms, making us feel confident that he would be well taken care of. He had some tummy troubles going on when we had to leave and they were so understanding, telling us not to worry. He made a mess in his crate one night because of this and they were so understanding, not bothered at all. They cooked up his brat diet (ground beef and rice) for several days until his stomach was working better. Leo came back to us healthy and happy. I highly recommend Melissa and Greg - they are just super!”

“Anna was amazing with my boy Winston. Complete and quick responses to any questions or follows I had while gone. She was even able to accommodate an extra day due to my trip being extended without issue. Winston had so much fun he kept giving her hugs before we left. I'll absolutely be coming back again. Thank you Anna!”


About: I’m a recently retired professional with a lifelong love of dogs and a home that feels a little too quiet these days. For many years, I cared for my own dog, who was truly part of my family. After losing him about a year ago, I’ve found myself missing the companionship, joy, and daily rhythm that comes with having a dog around. While I’m not quite ready for another full-time pet of my own, I would love to open my home to care for yours. Because I’m retired, I’m home most (if not all) of the day. That means your dog will get plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision-no long stretches alone. Whether your pup loves walks, playtime, or just relaxing nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m experienced with daily routines like feeding, walking, administering basic care, and, most importantly, providing a calm, loving environment. I understand how important it is to feel confident your dog is safe and well cared for while you’re away, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making them feel comfortable and loved. It would be a privilege to care for your pet. Because I’m retired, I’m home most (if not all) of the day. That means your dog will get plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision—no long stretches alone. Whether your pup loves walks, playtime, or just relaxing nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they are. What You Can Expect: -A safe, quiet home environment with a fully-fenced yard -Lots of attention and companionship throughout the day -Regular walks and playtime tailored to your dog’s needs -Updates and photos so you can feel at ease

Stacey was super easy to communicate with and even allowed us to do a meet and greet with her dogs before we booked! Delilah was in great hands and we really appreciated Stacey being so flexible with drop off/pick up given our travel changes because of the weather! We would definitely recommend Stacey and wouldn’t hesitate to leave Delilah with her again!
