“Theresa is very good with Benny and she has very nice accommodations for him. He is able to feel more like he is at home rather than at a kennel. We do not intend to use anyone except for her to watch Benny when we need to have a sitter.”
“She was able to take my two dogs last minute after another rover person did not answer when I was at their house. She was amazing with my babies and they really enjoyed her. Definately recommend!!”
“Tonja took wonderful care of our 2 boys while we were away! They had such a great time playing with her and her dog that they were asleep before we got them home. She also shared videos and photos while we were gone so we knew they were happy and comfortable! We would definitely recommend Tonja for a sitter!”

About: I've been a dog owner for 20 years. Over the last 10 years, friends, family and neighbors have entrusted me with taking care of their dogs. 2 years ago, I took on the venture of fostering dogs in my home. My experience with them has been with puppies through adult dogs. Special needs dogs are welcome too, as I have experience with dogs with seizure disorder and other chronic issues. During the time the foster dogs are in my care, I work to establish a routine, learn basic commands and household manners. I work from home Monday-Friday. My pets (and fosters) stay in my office with me when I working. I am able to care for your pets during my breaks, lunchtime and after hours. My weekends can be a bit more busy, but I can be flexible in working with your needs. I have a small fenced in yard for the dogs to stretch their legs, enjoy the outdoors, and of course relieve themselves. Indoors, I do have crates available if your dogs needs some alone, quiet time. My dogs have their own room to offer a safe space for them. The dogs are never left unattended to ensure they don't get into something they are not suppose to. If watching the dog in your home, I will follow any instructions that you give to ensure your dog's safety and happiness.
About: I can do just about anything. I have experience with all ages of animals. I trained my own dog with basic commands. I am a very patient person and I will treat your furry baby the way I treat my own. I have a very energetic 2 year old, 40 pound, Belgian malinois/german Shepard that I rescued from our local shelter as a puppy. I walk/run him daily if not twice a day. Caring for dogs and cats is no inconvenience in my daily life. Our backyard is not fenced in, however I have a 50 ft leash available for use to allow dogs to have the freedom to roam and sniff. I can also take them out on a leash myself. For boarding we have an area for dogs to be alone to have downtime. Along with a large crate with a dog bed inside.
“If I could give Jacqueline 10 stars I would!!! She took AMAZING care of our Blaikey during her stay with her and her awesome family. She was sweet, attentive, loving, affectionate, and accommodating to our sweet little girl. Her daughter was amazing with Blaikey and so gentle and kind with her. She sent pictures and updates every day and went out of her way to make sure Blaikey was comfortable and felt safe and secure in their home. Their dog Mocha was a wonderful friend to our dog and so sweet to her. They really loved each other 🥰. I will absolutely utilize Jacqueline again to watch our dog and recommend her to everyone!! She is amazing and will treat your dog like family because to her- they are!!!!😁🥰♥️”

Lots of attention. Gotta love themm
“Our two dogs were left with Lisa and Russ for an entire week. They took great care of them and sent us photos too. We will use them again for sure. It’s hard to find great care and if you want a place where your dogs will basically be at a dog park with a lot of room to roam this is the place.”
“i highly recommend barbara, my dogs were in very good hands while i went for vacation. she was very good at keeping me updated about my dogs and sending me pictures while i was enjoying vacation”
“The best sitters on this app! Absolutely professional in the way of doing things and unbelievably lovely with the dog. I’ve left my pup with them twice and she refuses to leave their place when I pick her back up. Super friendly couple and very much involved in their care towards dogs. Thomas and Emily always accommodated my requests and were super helpful in giving my pups medication too. I would 100% recommend them, the best dog sitters ive come across so far!!!”
