“Kathryn and Jeremy were great, can't recommend them enough. They were extremely communicative both before Bella's stay and during, updating us with pictures etc throughout the day. The couple are very well versed in dog behavior/needs and asked all the right questions to make us feel confident Bella was going to be well cared for and safe. When we picked Bella up she was very comfortable in their home and was resting with Kathryn and Jeremy. If you are looking for trustworthy couple to watch your pup with love and attention, this is it!”



“Our cavalier Hula had an awesome stay with Mecheal! Mecheal has a great fenced in yard, and only takes one dog at a time so I know she was getting all the attention. Mecheal sent great pictures everyday, so we could check up on our pooch. I definitely recommend this Rover.”

“Bruce is amazing. This is our second time having turbo stay over. He sent us pictures and updates multiple times throughout the day. When our trip got extended it was no problem for turbo to stay an extra night. We feel the most comfortable when Bruce watches our pup than anyone else around. We can’t say enough positive things about Bruce and the care he gave turbo. We know in the future if we are going away we will only book with Bruce. Thank you again!”


“MJ was great with my golden & kept me updated throughout his stay with her!! She was flexible & from my first meeting with her made me feel comfortable leaving my pup with her!! Would highly recommend!”

“Kristina and Jordan took such amazing care of my pup while I was away. Kristina and Jordan treated her with so much love, and sent many pictures and videos during the stay. I’m definitely an anxious pet parent, but their care actually allowed me to relax knowing that she was in the best hands possible and having a great little vacation of her own. I couldn’t recommend them more. Thank you guys so much!”


“Very attentive and welcoming. Amber and her family provided an excellent, loving stay at their hone for my dog while I was out of the country. Daily updates and photos were very nice. Definitely recommend and will definitely book with her again. 5++ stars!”


“Mary Ann is quite simply the best. This was our third time booking her to care for our elderly dog, and she did not disappoint. She creates a thoughtful care plan to cover all possible needs, provides updates while we’re away, and makes sure our canine child is loved in our absence. What more could you ask for?! Will absolutely book her again [and again]!”


“We had a great experience leaving our Cocker Spaniel Alfred with John. Every part of the experience was excellent — John offered to meet us and Alfred the week before the drop off; when we dropped Alfred off John said he was going to spend some one on one time with Alfred to get to know him. It was easy and our dog loved his visit. We’ll be back again for sure!”


“Fantastic New Rover sitter!! Welcoming, flexible & very easy to work with. My small dog seemed to have had an enjoyable multi-day boarding experience. He was able to share both people and small dog interaction, which is important, since he is ultra social. Provided photos and updates as requested. Will without question use them as a sitter in the future.”


“Triba was wonderful and so professional to work with! We really appreciate how she handled our dog with separation anxiety - she made him (and us) feel comfortable with a day-long boarding.”


“Brittany was great. She was really good about checking in and sending me updates, even when I was in an area with no cell service/wifi so was not able to respond to her messages. My dog is old and has slowed down a lot, and I could tell when I picked him up that she had been patient and taken good care of him.”


“Jourdyn was kind and nice with my dog (Bianca), they were together for 2 weeks, I am sure Bianca enjoyed her stay. Jourdyn sent me updates everyday. Bianca was in good mood after I picked her up. Definetly”


“Jill and her family provided EXCEPTIONAL care for our little dog. I had lots of feedback and many pictures of Abby. Abby's special need to run around to let off steam and her need for affection was completely satisfied with lots of attention and care. I really felt that my dog was taken care of in the same loving manner that I take care of her. Thank you Jill and family!!!!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years and am the proud dog mom of Bella, my sweet 5-year-old pup. I have experience supporting dogs of all sizes and temperaments—including administering oral medications and even subcutaneous fluids when needed. What sets me apart is the heart I bring to each pet I care for. I have a strong wellness background and lead with calm, nurturing energy. I’ve taught fitness classes for over 15 years, so your pup will get plenty of movement, playtime, and gentle structure. My fiancé, a former Marine, often stays with me, and together we value safety, consistency, and creating a loving environment. Whether your dog needs extra affection, senior support, or a good long walk, I meet them right where they are—with patience, compassion, and respect. Pet care fits beautifully into my weekly routine. I’m available Tuesday through Saturday for walks, drop-ins, or daytime care. My schedule is flexible, and I prioritize giving pets the attention and consistency they deserve. Whether it's a morning walk, midday check-in, or extended daytime care, I’ll work with your pet’s needs to keep them happy and safe. I treat every pet like family—with patience, love, and safety top of mind. In my home, pets have access to a clean, cozy, and pet-safe environment with space to relax and play. I never leave pets unsupervised outside and follow each owner’s care instructions carefully, including feeding, medication, and routines. I’m also experienced in administering medications and monitoring for signs of stress or illness. Whether in my home or on a walk, your pet’s well-being is my priority.

“Left our pup for 6 nights with Dyan. Leaving him was somewhat traumatic for us as we typically travel with him. But Dyan made us very comfortable that our pup was doing great. Nightly photos of our pup and hers showed us that he was just fine. He went on many walks and he got along great with Aiko. Thanks Dyan for taking such great care of our pup .”
