“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.”

“Absolutely hands down the best experience. This was the first time using Rover and Michelle was great! My girl Fiona I think enjoyed her stay as well. Super communicative, always sending pictures and super accommodating. Will definitely be rebooking with Michelle the next time I have to travel. Thank you Michelle!”

“Stacey is amazing! My dog Adler had a great stay with her & she sent me some sweet photos of him in her yard. Adler is a special needs dog & Stacey took great care of him. I would definitely recommend Stacey!”
“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.”

“Charlette was wonderful!!! Nikey does well with new people, but can get nervous in new environments. Charlette treated him with kindness and patience. She was able and willing to work with his normal routine and sent plenty of updates and pictures, which helped me feel at ease. Nikey warmed up to her, her home, and her family quickly. We are so happy to have connected with Charlette and will absolutely request services again!!!”

“Ashley is great. My dogs adored her. She sent updates and photos, which really put me at ease. This is the first time I used this service and I would definitely book again with Ashley.”

“We rebooked with Mindy for a recent trip after our experience with her last time. Our dog is a little bit neurotic & high maintenance and doesn’t like to be left alone in new places. It is so so so nice to be able to go on vacation and not worry about her because Mindy takes such good care of her. My dog randomly stopped eating and Mindy figured out that if she changed her bowl she would eat. She took her for plenty of walks and gave her plenty of snuggles - our dog even gets to sleep in Mindy’s bed at night! We are so relieved to have found Mindy and would recommend her to anyone.”

“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.”

“Thank you Jenn and Brian for taking such good care of Angus! You frequently updated us with pics and were extremely attentive to Angus’ needs. We will be back.”

“My puppy was so happy at Courtney space! And I appreciate Courtney was doing a wonderful job sending me photos of my puppy. I will definitely reach out to Courtney for taking care of my baby doggie again. 100% recommend her!”

“First time in this app and Im so thankful. Thank you so much for taking good care of Luna for 7 days. I will definitely trust you with her in the future. Luna send lots of love to all of you .”

“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”

“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!”

“Kelly was great with our dog Bear! She was communicative throughout the whole process and put our minds at ease while we were away by sending pictures and video. Her dog was an added bonus since Bear doesn’t get too much exposure to friends. Would book again in a heartbeat!”

“Melissa was very professional and communicated well! Took great care of my Dash and he was comfortable in her care. Thank you Melissa, Dash and I are very thankful for you and look forward to booking with you in the future.”

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.
“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.”

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.
“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!”

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!
