“Our dog came home a tired and happy dog. The pictures and updates were appreciated, and made me more comfortable knowing that our dog was having a good time. We would book again at Deanne's house.”


““Laura and Ryan were great with Chase, our German Shepherd. He had a wonderful boarding experience, and we felt at ease knowing he was in good hands. We’ll definitely consider booking with them again and highly recommend them to others!””


“Katie took amazing care of our girl Maisey while we were away for 2 weeks. Each day we received great photos and videos of all her puppy hangouts, walks, and cuddles. Katie was so sweet and caring it really helped us feel comfortable away from our pup for so long. We can tell she loved all her time during her stay, especially playing with Sprout! Can’t recommend Katie enough.”


“Kim is great. She did an amazing job making Jax feel at home, as well as giving me the peace of mind knowing he was being well taken care of. She sent plenty of updates, pictures, and videos throughout his stay. I could tell he was having fun. She even shared some useful training tips that I plan to use. Jax is definitely looking forward to seeing her again.”


“I was thinking Casper may not want to come home, as it looked like he was having a good time and being spoiled. He was allowed on their sofa and on the bed (things he doesn't get to do at home, at least not while I'm in the room). Great experience and Emily has 2 boys that also gave Casper a lot of attention. I will definitely rebook again as needed.”


“My dog Flash stayed at Connie’s for 17 days during my trip overseas. I had never used Rover site + Flash never stayed with someone he did not know for such a long time, but they got along very well ? Connie kept me updated often with videos, photos and detailed report about how Flash was spending his day with them. Even though Flash can’t talk, I can tell he loved the walks, rolling in the grass in their large backyard, playing fetch forever, playing with challenging puzzles, cuddling on their sofas, sneaking upstairs to check their son’s bedroom for a quick nap..) It was very assuring and I could concentrate on my travel without worrying about Flash. Communication was fast, arranging times for meet/greet, drop off/pick up were super easy and accommodating. I would definitely board Flash again for my future travels.”


“Carolyn could not have been more professional, caring or accommodating. First time Rover user and I think I struck gold. If I had to choose between Carolyn's services and a traditional bordering service, I'd choose Carolyn every time. I hope to use her services in the future.”


“Jill and her family welcomed Bailey into their home and treated him as their own. They were attentive to his needs as a senior dog, including giving oral medicine. I could tell he was well brushed and cared for when I picked him up. Her large yard was perfect for him. Jill had clearly gotten attached to him. She was always very responsive whenever I texted. I would book with Jill again.”



“Stella was attentive and loving to our little old little lady. It was Lola’s first time with a sitter other than family in her own home in her whole life. To say we were nervous for Lola and Stella’s family would be an understatement. We feel thoroughly blessed to have had Lola’s first sleepover at Stella’s and hope to book with her again soon!”


About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life—starting on a small pleasure farm where I helped raise everything from dogs and cats to goats and ducks. As I got older, I worked with licensed rehabbers to help raise and release wildlife, giving me a deep understanding of animal behavior and care. Today, I’m a stay-at-home dad who homeschools our two children, and together we care for our two dogs and any pup who joins our home. We’re home all day, giving your pet constant attention, playtime, and supervision. Whether your dog loves backyard games, cozy nap spots, or peaceful walks, we tailor their care to make them feel safe and loved. We’re also experienced with: • Puppy routines and potty training • Gentle senior dog care • Medication administration (oral/topical) • Helping nervous or shy dogs settle in We treat every dog like family—with kindness, patience, and lots of tail-wagging fun! Pet care is a natural part of our everyday life! As a stay-at-home dad who homeschools, I’m home throughout the day and able to provide constant care and attention. We start the day with outdoor playtime and a walk, followed by plenty of interaction, rest, and supervised backyard fun. Since our schedule is flexible and we don’t leave the house for work or school, your dog will never be left alone for long periods. Whether it’s weekday or weekend, we’re here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and part of the family—every single day. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At our home, pets are treated like family and are always supervised. We have a fully fenced-in backyard in a quiet neighborhood where dogs can run, play, and relax safely. Our home is dog-friendly, with plenty of space to rest, play, and be part of our daily routine. We keep a calm, structured environment—ideal for dogs of all ages, including puppies and seniors. I follow any care instructions you provide closely, including feeding, medication, crate routines, and walk preferences. We only accept a small number of dogs at a time to ensure each one gets the love, attention, and care they deserve. You can trust that your pet will be in kind, capable hands with someone who truly understands and respects animals.

“John and his wife Kathy go over and above to create a comfortable environment for our dogs. They boarded them for two weeks and we got regular reports. We never had to worry about our two dogs, other than to worry if they’d ever want to leave John and Kathy’s! I cannot recommend them highly enough!”


“Debbie is amazing and took our fur baby in as part of her family for a long weekend. She sent a lot of updates and pictures, which was greatly appreciated. She is so kind and we felt comfortable with her and her family right from the start during the meet and greet. She was great with our dog and could tell that he was well taken care of and felt at home. We highly recommend Debbie for your pet sitting needs.”


“Sabrina was wonderful for puppy play day for our two pugs (6yo and 5 months!). They had a blast, we got lots of videos and photos, and they came home exhausted in the best way. We've booked her again for a four day trip and we're confident they'll be safe, well loved, and having a blast!”


“I felt totally at ease leaving my dogs with Jackie. She kept me updated with photos and videos every day, and the dogs were very happy with her. I plan on booking with her again!”
