“Great as always! Milo always has such a great time when he stays with Kathleen. Kathleen always takes amazing care of him and allows me to be away from Milo with no worries. Milo will definitely be back!”
“Richard T boarded our dog Callie for a week while we were on vacation. He set up a meet and greet at his home to get her comfortable being there before our trip. Each day, he sent us pictures of her playing or resting to keep us updated and set our minds at ease. Our dog is never crated, so we would not send her to a typical kennel. Richard boards the dogs in his home, so she had access to the house and yard, just like she would at our home. Callie had a great time with the other dogs so we will definitely use Richard T’s services again!”
“Victoria was absolutely wonderful to work with. She sent pictures and videos of our dog and my son's cat every day during our vacation. Both were happy to see us when we picked them up and it was obvious they were well cared for. VIctoria was immensely patient with our Irish Setter puppy who has lots of energy and my son's cat who is a recluse. 100% will be using her again for out of town trips!”
“Amy was amazing! I have a senior Shiba Inu who is 17 and Amy was so good with him! She was very patient with him and offered updates and pictures throughout the day. This was my first time having someone dog sit for me and she eased all of my anxiety about it. I would highly recommend her!”
“Theresa takes great care of our two crazy little pups as if they were her own. Lots of updates to know they're in great hands makes traveling so much easier.”
“Nelia is top notch! I am one of her repeat customers and she is my go to with Rover! See one of my previous lengthy reviews with all the details.”
“Christine was so great w/ floof. He can be an anxious boy and she went out of her way to do lots of small things to make his stay as stress free as possible, working to accommodate him and what he needed to feel at home. She sent regular updates and pics, he came home a happy boy :) We'd love to use her again for future vacations”
“Patrick and Emily were fabulous! Zeke loved it there. They provided pics and updates and took very good care of our puppy while we were away! Highly recommended”
About: Howzit 🤙 I’m excited to shower your pets with love! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, always treating them like family—with patience, consistency, and plenty of love. Over the years, I’ve built real-life experience from long walks, silly play sessions, cozy couch naps, and learning the little quirks that make each pet one-of-a-kind. Whether it’s boarding, daycare, or house sitting, my goal is simple: to make your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for—just like they’re at home. Because when your pets are with me, they’re family too. 🐾 I work full time from home Monday thru Friday, with weekends typically spent at the dog park, hiking, or camping (with my doggies). Pet care isn’t just a task in my day—it’s part of my rhythm. I start and end my days with walks, play, and feeding routines, and I naturally build in time for snuggles, potty breaks, and play sessions throughout the day. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, I keep a flexible schedule so I can give your pets the attention they deserve. Caring for animals has always been part of my daily life, so fitting your pets into my routine feels like second nature. Whether your pets are with me in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, the routine is built around comfort, safety, and fun. That means sticking to their feeding schedules, giving them the right balance of exercise and play, and making time for cuddles and rest. I treat your pets—and your home—with the same care and respect I give my own.
“Denise and her husband did such a wonderful job with my dog, Parker. It was my first time using their services and they made me feel comfortable and worry free while I was away with frequent updates and photos. Highly recommend! Hope to be able to book with them again soon. Thank you :)”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Chang! She took care of my dog Archie while I was away on business travel, and from the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease knowing my furbaby was in such loving and capable hands. Chang went above and beyond in every way. Not only did she treat Archie like her own—with so much love, care, and attention—but she was also incredibly flexible when my travel plans were unexpectedly extended. She adjusted without hesitation and gave me one less thing to worry about during a hectic trip. Throughout Archie’s stay, Chang was extremely communicative. She sent regular updates, photos, and sweet messages that showed just how happy and well-cared-for Archie was. It truly meant the world to me to have that peace of mind while being away. I wholeheartedly recommend Chang to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable sitter. She’s an absolute gem, and I hope to always have her care for Archie in the future. Thank you, Chang! 🐾💛”
“I am so happy I found Lisa to care for my boy Hank. She took great care of him and shared lots of pictures. It is hard leaving my dog behind, but I am comforted knowing that he is in a safe environment and has plenty of enrichment and fun.”
“Sebastian was absolutely perfect with my dog Chip. Chip is a old (12yo) chihuahua so he needs extra love and care and Sebastian and his wife did just that! He sent pictures every day and made everything easy for me. It was as if my dog was on vacation too! Highly recommend and will use Sebastian again 😊”

“Eronda was kind and personable. She clearly LOVES dogs and took good care of our mini goldendoodle. She even made her chicken and rice to eat when our pup got too anxious to eat her kibble. She took photos and updated us on our girl. She sent our girl home freshly bathed. I’d recommend her!”
“Tevon was wonderful! He accommodated our last minute need for boarding and was flexible with our pickup time when we were running late getting back in town. He kept us updated and took great care of Pretzel!”
“Karen was a gem and so easy to work with! She took good care of Jax and even with his sparkling personality…did not have anything bad to say about his time with her”
“Our dog Tucker came home happy after spending 2 nights with Monica. She was great communicating with us and sending us photos of him. It was the first time Tucker stayed with her and her family and he seemed to have a good time. Thanks, Monica!”

She is reliable, communicative, and truly treats pets like they are her own. Mariah also takes the time to work on training, and she is incredibly attentive and protective, making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just making sure they’re comfortable, she goes above and beyond every time.

Fairywood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Cheyenne was amazing with our 4 year old golden retriever Sadie while my family was away for 12 days. She provided updates with pictures regularly. Cheyenne and her kids showed Sadie alot of love as she was shy at first. She soon became comfortable and looked happy in the pictures. Sadie is very anxious around other pets so Cheyenne made sure Sadie was the only pet she booked for that period. Thank you again Cheyenne K. 💓
Jess was great with our dog. This was our first time leaving him with anyone outside of family and he did great. She kept us updated on how he was doing the whole time. She responded to any questions or concerns we had quickly and helped make the whole process really easy.
We have been repeated customers of Andrea’s and have always been very happy with our experiences, from communication to dog-sitting. Our dog Dexter is always bursting with excitement to arrive to Andrea’s, and is tired from playing when he returns home. We’ll certainly be booking with Andrea again!
Don was a great sitter! He kept me up to date with daily pictures and videos. He also introduced my puppy to other dogs within the organized structure of day care and boarding. Don also provided great tips and training for at home as well. I look forward to using him again!
