About: Hi! I’m Chloe, and I’ve been around animals my whole life from tiny toy poodles (which I currently own) to powerful cane corsos. My father bred Dogo Argentino puppies, so I learned as a young girl how to handle dogs of all sizes and temperaments with patience, love, and confidence. I’ve personally owned toy poodles, yorkies, dogo argentinos, and a cane corso, as well as two cats and currently own several reptiles. I’ve groomed dogs at home, regularly donate to my local animal shelters, and have cared for the pets of family and friends for years. Whether it’s a quick drop-in for a potty break and some playtime, or just keeping your dog company while you’re away, I treat every animal as if they’re my own—gentle, reliable, I will be sure your dog gets plenty of mental stimulation, exercise, and play! I have plenty of toys and treats for your furry baby and will be careful for always with love. I’m currently looking for a job with animals before starting my journey at my university but I currently have a lot of free time on my hands and would love to spend it with your pets! I have a big spacious home and fenced back yard, as well as plenty of outdoor space for your pet to run around in! As well as a small poodle to give your pet plenty of company.

“Many many thanks to Joy and Dan! I was anxious leaving Winston with someone I did not know but right away they put me at ease. We had our meet and greet and Winston took to one of their children immediately. During Winston’s stay, Joy and Dan sent photo updates - Winston was having a great time and had settled in well. My only concern was that Winston was having so much fun he wouldn’t want to come back home! I cannot recommend Joy and Dan highly enough and will definitely rebook, pending their availability.”

“Kimberly was great! Helped me out last minute right before a work trip and took great care of my pup. He seemed to really enjoy his time with her!”


“Monica and Dan are the best! I was a bit nervous since this was my first time using Rover, but Monica and Dan exceeded my expectations. They were so wonderful with my girl. So sweet and so kind! Sent photos and updates - eased my nerves. I absolutely recommend them! I will definitely use them again in the future! 😊”

“Bernice takes such good care of my fur gurls. I call her their Other Mother because she treats them as if they were her own. I love that. I know they can go to Miss Bernice and be happy and safe. Thanks again! WE LOVE YOU!!!🥰”


“Niyah did a really good job with my dog Lady. Niyah sent me pictures of Lady daily to show me that Lady was okay. Niyah was responsive when I reach out to her and she replied immediately to all of my text messages. Lady returned home happy and she was returned back to me in the same condition I left her. If I need a dog sitter in the future I would leave Lady with her again. Thank you Niyah for taking care of Lady with short notice during the Holiday.”
