“Kayla was excellent and her dog (Cally) and my dog (Atlas) got along famously. Kayla was providing photos and videos of my extremely happy pup throughout the entire boarding process.

About: As a passionate dog lover and experienced sitter, I've had the joy of caring for numerous furry friends. With a safe, fun, and loving approach, I provide top-notch care for dogs of all sizes and breeds. Let's give your pup the best time ever! Starting bright and early at 7:00 am, I'm ready to give your furry friends the attention they deserve! I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays ensuring your dogs receive the love and exercise they need. Let's make some tail wags happen! Your pup will love our setup! We have a secure fenced yard for safe playtime, and a beautiful beach is just a 5-minute walk away for ocean-loving dogs.

“Our dog Lady had the time of her life with David, Krysta, their boys, and her new best friends, Archie & Flash. We were heading to the beach for a portion of our vacation, and our condo did not allow pets. We needed her to be nearby and found David and Krysta through Rover. We got great pictures and videos of her time with the family, and their nice backyard and house was perfect for her. She was treated like a member of their family. In fact, when we got there to pick her up, she was trying to go back in their house and keep playing. :) So thankful we found this nice family to take such wonderful care of Lady!”


“Erik was awesome! Very flexible with picking up and dropping off my dog. He has a big backyard and sent photo updates. Overall wonderful experience. Will definitely schedule with him next time I’m in the area.”

They will be comfortable and I’m not too strict, I let pets on the bed and furniture they are welcome to get comfortable wherever in the house they please.

“Christian and his family were amazing! Our timid, nervous, elderly dog warmed up to him and was well provided for. I received daily updates, pictures, and videos and wouldn't hesitate to have him watch my pup again”



“Alexandra was great! We got to do meet and greet and my Bear got along well with her pups ?. She kept in touch with photos and how he was doing and everything went very well. I would definitely recommend Alexandra to anyone I will most definitely reach out to her again next time I go out of town.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. I’ve got experience with dogs, cats, puppies & kittens, reptiles, birds, and just about any other pet you can think of. I’m a stay at home mom of three. All my kids are in school now, and I have the time to do walks, quick drop-ins for potty and playtime, doggy daycare (must play well with others) and offer overnight boarding with a couple of reasonable requirements. Can’t wait to meet your fluffy, feathery, fuzzy, or scaly pets! I have two dogs that I let out in our back yard as soon as I wake up. They get fresh water and food, and when the weather is nice, a walk. We have a large fenced yard that they have access to all day. I uncover and let my parrot out of her cage, at which point she promptly hops onto my shoulder. I take my kids to school, with our two pups along for the ride, come home, make coffee and watch our big, fluffy cat flop herself off the sofa to go see if I’m refilling her food bowl, and then go about my day. Our home has a large fenced yard, in a private neighborhood community. Our pets hang out inside most of the day, enjoying the various soft surfaces to nap on, and have breaks for zoomies outside. I’m happy to accommodate whatever routines you have established with your pet, in your home, and accept any requests or special needs for your pet while in my home for boarding, or daycare. During my reoccurring visits, if approved by a pet parent, I like to leave a small notebook to write little details in about the visit. I also love sharing pics of your pet with you if you’d like those too.
