2. Lauren P.
“Lauren and Lauren are awesome! They care so much about dogs and want to make sure they’re comfortable and having fun. They were very accepting of Zoey’s high energy and the fact that she’s a puppy. I always feel good dropping Zoey off for daycare here.”

About: I have several years of experience with dogs. Growing up, I had a family dog and two years ago adopted one of my own. I’ve watched several friends’ pets and there’s nothing I love more than to get outside and walk a pup! I currently work from home, so I’m always available to keep an eye on your dog and tend to their needs! Our dog, Oakley, is very friendly and loves having visitors over! I work from home so I am available most of the day besides when I have meetings. My fiancé and I recently moved to the area, so we’ve been spending most of our weekends hanging around home and exploring the area. We have a dog who loves to cuddle and meet new friends! While we don’t have a fenced in yard, we live in a townhome with quick access outside. We also live steps away from a large park where I walk my pup at least twice a day and would love to take yours as well!

“Thanks for giving Freddie a great day! ( he fell right to sleep as soon as he got in the car!)”
10. ELENA M.
“Ellie loves dogs and will absolutely take great care of yours! She has the cutest doodle herself that is spoiled to the core, seriously! When Ellie and I would travel for work, she was constantly concerned if her pup was being cared for well. Now she's able to assure that your furry friend is in topnotch care!”
11. Lynda H.
“Lynda really helped me out with a pretty last minute request for doggy daycare. I felt comfortable leaving my dog Teddy with her and I would absolutely do it again. She sent pics and kept me updated throughout the day on how it was going. Thank you Lynda!”
12. Patricia K.
“Pat took great care of my dog. She has a lot of experience and really cares about animals. This was my dog's first time with Pat and he seemed to have enjoyed himself (even though he was a little uneasy with an unfamiliar environment). I definitely recommend Pat to care for your fur babies.”
13. Diane & Wayne K.
“Diane , Is the ultimate care giver, she cares for people as a part of her profession, she is a loving friend, and if you watched her care for family she goes above and beyond to make those around her feel important. I watched her with her dog Tara and Diane is what every pet owner should aspire to be. Her house has a lot of space for any dog to hang with her inside and an unbelievable back yard to run and play. Her bright smile will serve Rover well in working with other dog owners and their dogs. Feel free to reach out again if you would like to ask more questions”
14. Dan D.
About: My wife, Jana, and I have been dog lovers our entire lives. Currently, we're proud parents to our wonderful pup, Lula. Lula is a 75lb Komondor-mix. Recently, we said goodbye to our other beloved senior dog, so we understand the unique needs and joys of older dogs. We'd love to open our home to another dog, if only temporarily, to bring some companionship to Lula and fill our hearts with double joy once again. Rest assured, your furry friend will be treated like family while you're away. We can't wait to welcome them into our home with open arms! Jana and I both work from home, ensuring that there's always someone around during the day to provide company and care for your pet. Occasionally, we may step out for a meal or activity in the evenings or on weekends, but your pet will never be left unattended for more than a few hours at a time. Our cozy home boasts a fenced backyard, providing a safe haven for your pet. We enjoy daily walks in our scenic and relaxing neighborhood, ensuring your dog gets plenty of fresh air and exercise if desired. Our dog Lula is e-collar trained, and is playful with other dogs & humans
15. Joie B.
“Max was so happy to see Joie and her family the second day, which made me so happy to see him excited to be there. Joie was taking great care of Max. He swallowed part of his ball, and Joie told me right away, helping me feel that he was in good hands and if anything happened Joie would tell me right away and not hide things. She did a great job, Max loved her and we will use her again! :)”
16. Danielle & Chris M.
“Danielle, Chris and sons were fantastic! They loved on Bitsy as if she were their dog. I received pictures and updates. I will be booking with them again.”
17. Joy G.
“Great place for my dog to play! Great yard, wonderful pet sitter!”
18. Helene G.
“Helene is absolutely wonderful with dogs. She has taken care of my dog, Lexi, on several occasions and it is always reassuring to know that Lexi is in such good hands. In addition to knowing that Lexi is getting walked, fed and played with, it is very comforting to know that Helene has made sure that Lexi receives her medication, whenever needed. I would highly recommend Helene to anyone looking for excellent and loving care for their four-legged family member.”
19. yana s.
“Best dog sitter ever! Always reliable, sends adorable photo updates, and my pooch is always so happy after & never wants to leave. Highly recommend!”
20. Laura V.
“My good friend Laura is one of the most kind and lovely people I've ever met! I witnessed her meet and interact with over a dozen dogs that I have hosted at my house over the years. Every dog immediately sensed her gentle nature and felt comfortable around her (even the super shy ones)! We have walked dogs together many times and she is always attentive to their needs and safety. I can't recommend her enough to take good care of any animal!”
