“Kathy did a great job caring for my two dogs, one of whom has behavioral issues, the other being a cool cucumber but it was his first boarding experience. She kept me posted on their activities and provided them with a great environment where they could chill and, more importantly, play.”
“Myleigh is amazing. I’ve had her watch my puppy twice now. My puppy really loves being there with her. She gets super excited to see her when I’m dropping her off. Myleigh is very accommodating and always gives me updates on how my pup is doing. Definitely will be booking her again.”
“My dog Hank had the most amazing time with Lindsay and her family. She is extremely communicative, caring, and loving. 1000% recommend her and we will be bask.”
“Lori was amazing! She took care of my dog during the holidays and she had so many doggy friends to play with. Lori sent photos regularly and took great care of Chapa!!”
About: I care for pets as if they were part of my own family. My focus is on creating a calm, safe, and familiar environment where your pet can relax and feel at home. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and needs, whether they are playful puppies or gentle senior companions. I believe in patience, consistency, and kind communication. My experience includes: • Puppy care, basic training, and routine-building • Senior pet care with extra attention to comfort and mobility • Administering oral medications and supplements • Maintaining a clean, cozy living space • Providing calm companionship, walks, playtime, and rest What truly sets me apart is my attention to emotional well-being. I notice small changes, respect boundaries, and offer steady, loving care — so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in safe, caring hands. Pet care is part of my everyday routine. I’m home most of the day and keep a flexible schedule to ensure consistent, calm, and attentive care for each pet. I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets feel safe, respected, and at ease — whether they are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. In my home, pets are welcomed into a quiet, cozy space with: • Constant supervision and a low-stress atmosphere • Clean, pet-safe living areas with no hazards • Individual attention based on each pet’s needs and routine • Plenty of rest, gentle play, and comfort In my client’s home, I follow your routines carefully: • Respecting feeding, walking, and medication schedules • Keeping your home tidy and secure • Maintaining familiar smells, spaces, and habits for your pet • Providing updates so you always feel connected and reassured Trust is at the heart of everything I do. I treat your pet and your home with the same care, responsibility, and respect I would expect for my own.
“Kathy was a wonderful host for our Cavalier. She genuinely seemed to care for the dog as her own. She sent updates and was always communicative. She allowed our pup all the comforts of home. Kathy is an A+.”
About: I got my certification in dog grooming from Animal Behavior college, and have been grooming for about 2 years. I try to keep my clients pups on their same daily rutine. I have good sized yard that is partially fenced in, so I keep dogs on a long leash while roaming outside. I do not leave them alone out side in the yard. Along with walks, the dog park is also something I can do if requested. My schedule is flexible and I work with my clients when it comes to scheduling. If you have a special request, please ask. I am accommodating and will do my best to make it work for you and your pup! Hope to hear from you and our furry friends soon!
“Ariane and her family were wonderful with our sometimes-anxious cockapoo, Millie who spent 10 days with them while we were out of the country. She went for walks alongside Ariane's two dogs, lay in the sun on the fenced deck, joined Ariane in the car on errands and fully participated in their family life. Ariane was great at sending frequent updates which were much appreciated. Millie seemed relaxed and happy when I picked her up - she will definitely be a returning guest!”
“Nikki was incredibly flexible, patient, and kind to both our family and our pup. When Loon was reluctant to join the other dogs, Nikki sat with him until he felt comfortable. When my family had another dog related emergency, we were able to extend our stay so Loon was cared for”
“What a wonderful visit my Timmy had with Donna! It was his first visit with her and there will be plenty more to come. She is a very caring, loving woman who goes out of her way to make sure her visitors are comfortable, happy and safe!”
“David was so wonderful with my pupper. He gave me a nightly updates and a photo or two with it! He was incredibly patient with my dog, who has a bit of anxiety. I highly recommend David. I will use him again when my family goes away on a trip.”
“Andre was great with Luna ! Kept great contact with videos. She was walked for hours a day. When I picked her up she ate and crashed out. She was clearly tired. I will definitely use Andre again!!!🐆”
“G is one of the best sitters I have met on Rover. She was really great with our dogs and treated then with love and care. She gave us daily updates on our dogs and made sure that they had plenty of space and time to play. She treated my dogs as her own and let them play and run around her home, sleep on the bed etc. I'm really glad that I left my dogs in her care and would highly recommend her! Milli and Bujji miss you G and they would love to meet you again!”

Liza provided outstanding care for my dog Toto during my time away. She was highly communicative, and demonstrated a genuine commitment to my pet’s well-being. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which showed how at ease and happy Toto was during his stay. Upon returning home, I found my dog happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I would confidently recommend Liza to anyone seeking a reliable, trustworthy, and professional pet care provider.
Myleigh was so great with Cooper! Cooper is a 13-year old black lab mix who can get anxious sometimes. When I brought him to her, he barely even noticed me, totally engaged in greeting her and went along so willingly into her house, never even glancing back at me :-) She has that kind of energy. She sent me pictures, one of him curled up with her cat and he looked so happy just hanging out with the cat! I was surprised because he's never been around cats but he loves attention and cuddling (it even made me think about getting a cat lol!) Seeing that pic melted my heart and I wasn't nervous about him at all after that, which made the overnight so much better. I highly recommend Myleigh to watch your furbabies and will definitely reach out to Myleigh in the future!
