Vivian is great with my dog Auggie. She plays games with him and walks him. He's 80lbs and can be a challenge to walk.

About: My fiancée, Anthony, and I are the Rover duo here! Together, we have a combined 20+ years of experience working with dogs. Anthony primarily does the house sitting and we both work together for boarding in our home. We currently have 2 dogs of our own who are both rescues. Arthur is our 8 year old playful, loving lab mix and Taz is our 2 year old sassy pit mix puppy! We love caring for pets and are excited to spread the love to more doggy friends! You can count on us to be reliable, respectful, engaged, and loving to your pets. We will ensure that they get exercise and the love they need while under our care. We will make sure the environment is safe for all pets and make sure your pet has access to food and water at all times. I work from home full time and Anthony has a flexible work schedule. We will make sure your pet has the necessary potty breaks they need and will not be left in a kennel all day long. We love dogs and are excited to provide a safe + comfortable place for your pet so you can enjoy your time away from home knowing your dog(s) is/are in good hands. Anthony and I work from home, which makes pet care fit very easily into our daily and weekly routine. We have 2 dogs of our own and we never leave them home alone longer than 4 hours. We have a fenced-in yard. The yard is safe and a great size to give your pet ample space to run around and exercise. We also have outdoor cameras to monitor if we are not outside with them.

Carly was amazing with my boy Murphy! She was very diligent to ensure my requests for Murphy were upheld. She would message me and see whether I wanted Murphy left out or kenneled. She was constantly giving updates and for that I am thankful. I would recommend Carly to anyone seeking someone to care for their dog!

About: I have been taking care of animals my entire life! I’ve been working with animals professionally for 6 years, and in my time have done grooming, boarding, daycare, training, rescue, you name it! I’ve worked with dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, etc of all shapes/sizes, & I’m currently working at a veterinary office. I have experience administering medications, monitoring body language & behavior, and handling emergency situations in regards to dog & cat care. I also spend free time volunteering with animal rescues when I can. Since 2018 I’ve dedicated my life to caring for others pets, and have always gone above & beyond to make sure your babes are well taken care of. Look up “Sommers Pet Services” on FB to see more reviews/photos of animals I’ve cared for in the past! I work full time during the week, my days off are Thursdays and Saturdays. I will be available any time I’m not at work for your animals and their daily needs! I have a large dog that plays well with others if play dates are desired. I always monitor fence safety for escape artists/jumpers, and use a double lead system when walking to avoid any possible break aways! I have experience with reactive/aggressive dogs as well.

Jessica was great! She took time out of her night to come visit Koda the night before she walked him and see how they did with each other! She was also a great walker and was willing to just hang out with him outside of his kennel and play with his toys! We will definitely be going back to Jessica again!

About: Our house is welcome to dogs and people of all "walks" of life. We have experience with puppy care, senior care, and general small animal husbandry. Exceptional care, walks, and snuggles guaranteed 😊 I work week days ~ my time for the pups will center around mornings and evenings, and full time on weekends. Dog space is my personal space in the lower half of the house. In the morning we do feed/walks, then I work for the day. In the evening we will either take a long stroll or an hour visit to the dog park ~ depending on your preference. Feeding is twice a day, morning and evening. We walk the dogs, provide play and snuggles, and our own pups will happily keep yours company. The boys (our pups) have a knack for helping visiting pups stay calm.
