He provides an excellent dog care service. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needed a highly qualified, capable and caring dog sitter. If Mina could speak I'm sure she would say the same! ”

About: I have been around animals my entire life and cared for my own dogs for nearly 20 years. I often dog sit/house sit for friends and neighbors. I have two female pugs and a male terrier mix who are part of our family. While I do have kids and they may join in on a walk, I would always be the one in charge of the leash and walking your dog. We have a large fenced in yard for plenty of play time if you board or schedule doggie daycare with us. I also have experience caring for small animals like cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, lizards, chickens, and hamsters. I can board animals in cages/enclosures in an area where other animals do not have access or provide drop in visits in your home. With specific instructions, I could accommodate most types of animals. I work part time on the weekends and my husband works full time during the week, part of which is work from home. Our home is rarely without someone here. I do have two school aged children who are gentle if a dog is staying with us and also gives me an opportunity for dog walking at your location. I will provide cute pictures from drop in visits, walks, and boarding. If your dog stays overnight with us, we would require crating only during the night. Otherwise our dogs are out and about in the main part of the house and go out into our fenced backyard often. They also enjoy frequent walks in our quiet neighborhood if desired.

“Stephanie is absolutely wonderful!! She and her sweet family went above and beyond to accommodate our very playful puppy and was sending updates frequently which I really appreciated. Our doggy is a very happy and tired boy after a full day of fun with them! Would absolutely recommend her for any dog owner looking for a sitter to look after them as if they were her own!”


“Absolute wonderful rovers, will definitely be rebooking in the future!! Thank you so much Ramon and Nicole for taking such good care of our boys!! They loved their stay 🥰🥰”


“Derrika was great with our pup! She was very professional and I had a high degree of confidence that our little guy was well cared for and loved while we were away. I loved feeling like it brought her joy to be with him too and not just a transaction. We’ll definitely be back!”


“Our dog Rubi loved Elaine! I messaged Elaine the day before we needed care for our dog and she was so prompt to respond and ready to help us. She took great care of Rubi and sent us a picture and updates. Her backyard is perfect for dogs to run and play in and her house is calming and quiet. We will deffinetly think of Elaine again if we need care for our dog.”



“Absolutely wonderful! She made homemade dog treats for us to take home and gave him extra special care. We also got some cute pictures of him while we were away. He seemed pretty happy when we picked him up, we would definitely recommend and use again!”


“Manda was great. Peaches was a bit shy at first but she was fine. I’m very pleased with the kind care Manda provided. Definitely will book again.”


“Sarah provided a wonderful daycare experience for our dog Kingston. He struggles with separation anxiety and Sarah provided such a calm and relaxing environment. She has a lovely spacious backyard with just the right amount of stimuli. Sarah understands dog behavior and she’s so patient. She sent photos and feedback throughout Kingston’s stay which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It’s comforting to know another person cares as much about your pet as you do.”



“Our two pups spent the day at Bart’s and seemed to have had a fine time. Our energetic pup definitely got plenty of play time and come home a little more hungry than usual. :-) It was a great first stay, and i’m Sure there will be many more.”


“Great first day of hanging out at Savannah’s house. They have such a nice fenced in backyard. Can’t wait until the boys get introduced to the other dogs and get to play. Will be booking again, thank you!”


About: I have always grown up with dogs from the age of 5, so I am no stranger to talking car of them. During the last 8 years, I have periodically taken care of dogs for friends and family. As well as having my own dog for the last 6 years. I work from home most days so I have flexibility to be able to make drop in visits to care for your pet’s needs. Or I am able to care for your pet’s at my house with almost all day attention. For boarding, I do ask that drop off and pick up is between 10:00 and 6:00pm. I do live in a townhome so your dog will be taken on plenty of walks with the company of my own dog, Henry. My dog can be crated, as well as yours if that is requested.

Hillcrest dog parents share their Rover experiences
Clementine loved her days with Brandi! As always we appreciated all the pictures and videos of Clementine’s adventures.

Ashley was an excellent stand-in parent for our Toby. She stepped in without much lead time to meet Toby at our home and get to know him, and then was kind enough to let him come to her home when we needed him out of our house for the day. Toby had a great time with her and will definitely want to see her again!

Morgan was great! Spaghetti and Meatball had a blast! There were a few friends for them to make while they stayed for daycare! They both slept the whole car ride home! Haha! She sent pictures, responded quickly and didn’t make me feel bad about being a helicopter mom! She even got their harnesses and coats on, so they were ready when I got there! They will be seeing her and their friends again in a couple weeks!

Derrika was great with our pup! She was very professional and I had a high degree of confidence that our little guy was well cared for and loved while we were away. I loved feeling like it brought her joy to be with him too and not just a transaction. We’ll definitely be back!
