“Michelle kept our dog over the holidays and was so nice and easily worked around our schedule for drop off and pick up. She kept us posted during his stay and had other dog guest to keep our pup entertained! Will be using her again!”


“Shuling was amazing! She sent us pictures and videos the whole time and made it easier to be apart from our pup. Bailey had a great time playing with the host’s dog and family. Honestly, it looked like a summer camp for the doggies :) 100% recommend her and will use her services again. Jake and Ana”


“It is great to know that your dog is cared for and loved. Kelly and Maurice showed EXTRAORDINARY care for Ginger!!! They are truly dog lovers, they are able to pick up on little cues when she needs attention or to go outside and acted immediately. Ginger had so much fun, when I picked her up she walked right by me like she had found a second home ?. Kelly was great at sending photos and videos to keep me informed and she had great commentary, lol. I will definitely use them for repeated care as they are trustworthy and truly care.”


“Mady was wonderful! She welcomed Sydney in to her home and took her out for regular walks. She communicated regularly and showed great care and concern when Sydney happened to get a bee sting while outside. We plan on boarding her with Mady again!”


“Donna and Brian were great. Communication was speedy. Booking was a breeze. They took great care of my special needs dog and treated her like their own. Normally after a sitter stay or vet visit, my dog seems anxious and can’t wait to jump in my arms. But this experience was different. My dog was happy to see my but calm as if she’s been chilling at home the whole time. Excellent stay. I would rebook.”


“Madalyn and her family are the best! This was our first time boarding our dog with her and after our meet and greet I knew that our dog was going to be in the best care. Madalyn kept us updated throughout the stay with texts and pictures. We loved this family so much that we already booked with them for another stay.”


“Leticia was wonderful with Jerry. He is a rescue and this was our first time leaving him while on vacation. Leticia shared multiple videos and photos so we could see that he was in good hands while we were away. It really did allow us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about how our dog was doing. Certainly hope to use her service again in the future.”


“Andy was so great with Pepper and made communication and updates a breeze. She had a great time and came home exhausted. Loved receiving pictures of my pup enjoying her stay throughout the weekend!”


“The sign of a good visit by your dog is when he falls asleep on the car ride home. Ann and her family could not have been more welcoming of my dog and more tolerant of his initial uneasiness around new people. From all of the photos I was sent, I could see him having so much fun with their dog and also napping alongside -- and at times on -- their family.”


“Diana completely spoiled my pup! Absolutely wonderful. She sent tons of photos of my dog frolicking on the beach and running around her big backyard. She came home rested and recharged like she had been on a five star vacay. Happy pup, happy mom!”


“Denise was absolutely fantastic. Our dog Winnie had a blast with her doggo. Denise was very responsive to any messages, sent daily pictures, and overall was great. Will definitely use her again for boarding as we travel!”



“Wonderful experience! This was my first time using a sitter through rover and Thomas and Melissa were so caring. They sent daily pictures and were absolute wonderful. Will definitely book again for any future stays!”


“Beth is simply the best! She has provided loving and professional care to both our late geriatric Shih Tzu who had a number of health issues AND our new 5 month old Havanese puppy. Both dogs loved her! We have such confidence in Beth that whenever we need to go away, we can do so with confidence knowing our pup will enjoy her "vacation" too! We appreciate Beth so much and could not recommend her more highly.”


“Hannah was great, she sent us pictures and videos of our dog. We missed our dog while we were gone but we glad Hannah sent us pictures and videos, we felt that our dog was being well taken care of. . Definitely would leave my baby with her again.”


“We were so happy with Mia & her husband! They are amazing! We left our pup with her for a week while on vacation and he loved every second of it. She was great with communication & sending pictures everyday to keep our minds at ease :) our pup also hurt his paw right before we were about to drop him off there and required a bunch of medicine that she was able to give to him and LOTS of rest. thank you!!”


About: I provide loving care for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to seniors, with experience in training, special needs, and making every animal feel safe. As a retiree, my days revolve entirely around the animals in my care. They receive my full attention, love, and time—morning to night, every single day. I live in a safe, animal-friendly waterfront neighborhood with very few cars and plenty of space to play. Pets enjoy walks to nearby parks and, for water-loving “babies,” splashing adventures at the bay—all in a calm, welcoming environment where they’re treated like family.

“Lovely couple with a baby and a toddler. Buffy had to warm up to Parker, their German Shepherd but I hear it went well. Tyler and wife watched Buffy on a holiday, July 4th. They were very gracious when I requested an itinerary change. I felt like they were really attuned to Buff-dog. Will definitely ask again for their assistance.Highly recommend.”


“There are so many good things to say about Kim that I'm not sure where to begin, so I'll start at the beginning. We requested a meet n greet from Kim and we met with her at her home about two days later to see how our dogs got along. We have an 18-pound beagle that's not used to being around bigger dogs. The meeting went well, Kim answered all of our questions without hesitation, the dogs got along and you could tell that her son was a fantastic young man. Kim is very warm and inviting and you can tell that she's a true animal lover, my wife and I felt she was the perfect fit to take care of our little Pebbles. Pebbles stayed with Kim for 2 days. I loved the fact that whenever we texted her she answered us within a few minutes and always answered our questions. She sent us several pictures of Pebbles and always kept us abreast of what was going on. All these things combined kept us at ease while we were away from our little princess. Kim is so sweet that when we picked up Pebbles, she gave us some homemade cookies. That was really nice of her and it shows what kind of person she is. We will be using her again in the near future and would recommend her highly to anyone who considers using her services..”
