“Hazel stayed with Yoki and Derek for over a week and had a great time. I know that Hazel can be a handful and can demand a lot of attention at times. I felt like Yoki and Derek really understood Hazel’s needs and took very good care of her. I can tell that they treat all dogs in their care like family and that was wonderful to see. They are very generous and giving people. Their very big and spacious yard was great for Hazel to run around and play in. I also really appreciated the daily communication which was very important to me. I loved receiving videos, beautiful photos and updates on a daily basis and it gave me so much peace of mind and showed me that Hazel was well taken care of and was enjoying her stay. I’m very appreciative to Yoki and Derek for their work especially since I know this is not always an easy job to do.”
“Kaycee and Robert took great care of my two dogs. They sent lots of updates, and communicated clearly with us. I’d highly recommend them, and will reach out to them when I need someone to watch our dogs again.”
“Absolutely the best! Emily and her family adored my dog so much. From the moment I entered their house with Pixel in my arms to the moment I picked her up, I was kept updated every evening with pictures of all the fun activities they were having with her. It was evident that their family loved Pixel just as much as Pixel loved them. If you’re searching for a fantastic dog sitter, I highly recommend Emily and her family. They took excellent care of my family member and made her my go-to Rover host when I need one again. I’ll definitely reach out to Emily first to check their availability and wouldn’t want to miss the opportunity to use them again.”
“Joan was so great with our pup! He can be a handful sometimes and Joan did such a great job of not only attending to his puppy energy and mischief but also was great at easing our anxieties about leaving him for the weekend. Joan sent a lot of photos with a daily update and even got our pup out to a dog park! Would absolutely book with her again!”
“Finn had a wonderful time with Duane and Lauren. They took such good care of Finn, kept him happy, busy and excercised. Im so grateful! Will book again soon!”
“Bentley had a great time with you both! Thanks for taking such good care of our baby! We REALLY appreciated the pictures you sent while he was with you, too! We will absolutely book with you again.”
About: I grew up with multiple dogs in my home. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets when they’ve needed help. I have also worked at a dog kennel where I walked and bathed dogs of all sizes and breeds. I also volunteer for the Humane Society where I interact with animals regularly. 😌 I work a 9 to 5 schedule Monday through Friday and I’m fully remote so I have plenty of time to regularly let dogs outside, into my fenced in yard or to take them for both short and longer walks. I can board almost any evening though I do volunteer for the Humane Society on Friday evenings. I have a fenced in yard and can easily crate your dog if desired. I currently have one cat who has lived with a dog in the past.
“My dog, Sully, had so much fun with Rebekah, Alex, and their toddler and pups! Rebekah sent updates and asked many questions to make sure Sully had the best stay. She was also very flexible and able to accommodate for us at the last minute. Will definitely be returning and Sully can’t wait to visit again!”
“Meghan and Jacob are great! They kept Mila entertained and were very patient and understanding with her bathroom schedule being so random. Her and I have some work to do in that regard! I’m very grateful for how well they took care of her.”
“We have booked Tony for our dogs multiple times and they always have a blast! Tony takes dog safety very seriously and always sends tons of updates & pictures. Our dogs always enjoy his company and especially enjoy his fenced in backyard. Thank you Tony!”
