“We always love using Henry and Cheryl for pet sitting. They are great with communication and updates and are nice and personable. Our dog seems to very much enjoy his time with them!”


“We had an amazing experience with Shannon. She sent photo and messaging updates! Our Boo had a great time and I never worried about him. She would be our first choice to board again!”



“Richard could not have been nicer and my dogs seem to have enjoyed their stay! I was worried about my 15 month old English bulldog pouting the entire time, but Richard won her over. The location is wonderfully located high above the daily humdrum. If your pets are used to country living, they will thoroughly enjoy a stay here! I highly recommend and will be using for future needs.”


“Emily is great!! Our dog pepper was very well cared for & loved being in her home. It was a wonderful feeling to go on vacation & feel good about who was caring for our dog.”


“John was such a wonderful host. Our dogs are friendly but very energetic and he was gracious and sweet with them. He walked them multiple times a day, gave them toys, and sent photos to check in with us each day. I would definitely have my dogs stay with him again and will do so next time we are in town!”


“This was my first time using Rover and I was extremely nervous. Lydia was amazing with my pups , she sent updates, videos and pictures the whole time. We will definitely be using her for all our trips out of town from now on. I would give 10 stars if I could!!!”



“Maus came back a happy and healthy girl. Crystal worked with me on last minute date changes and made a difficult time so much easier for me. Very quick to respond and lots of pictures”


“Denna and her husband were absolutely amazing! They took in my Maltipoo on short notice, and took great care of him. They have officially become my go-to sitters. I got updates everyday, photos and videos and just felt very comfortable and safe leaving biscuit in their hands. My dog also got along really well with their dogs, which was a big plus! Overall, they’re great dog sitters but also genuinely great people. I’m so glad I found them!”


“Marah was perfect! She sent pictures every day. Our dogs were exhausted when we got home from vacation. We have an Australian Shepherd who never seems to tire out but he was exhausted all day when we picked him up. Our other dog was exhausted as well but he doesn’t have near as much energy as the Aussie. It seemed like they had a lot of fun and were well cared for!”

“First visit! I really appreciated the communication and coordination, so easy to work with. Hops (the dog) came home happy and healthy. Theresa took great care of her; I would book again and refer her!”


About: I always grew up with my own animals and knew I wanted to to be a veterinarian one day. When I was in high school I started my own dog walking business to make some money and then heard a doggy daycare was opening up in town. I was the first to apply! I worked there for a while until I started at a local veterinarian at 16. Now I am going into my second year of vet school and wanted a way to fill some of my free time. Due to my busy class schedule I only have a cat right now, so I really enjoy spending extra time with dogs! My goal is to adopt a pit bull mix by the end of vet school because they have a special place in my heart! Over the past seven years, I’ve had the privilege of working with animals in a variety of settings from general care to specialty medicine to emergency and my passion for them only continues to grow. I'm skilled in administering medications and injections, caring for both puppies and senior pets, assisting with more challenging or nervous animals, and understanding dog behavior and body language. During the school year my schedule does vary Monday through Friday as labs are different days/times every week, however, they are only two hours long so I am flexible for the rest of the day! I really enjoy hanging out with animals as a study break! I also keep my schedule up to date on Rover! I'm available most days. Just message me about times and I will get back to you as soon as possible! I currently live in an apartment. I have one cat and my roommate has a cat. They both do well with dogs and will mainly keep to themselves and stay in our rooms. We are trying to socialize them more to dogs to get them more comfortable for when we adopt one in the next year! In our apartment we have two floors so we can keep the animals together when we are home and then separate them with a baby gate when we go out. There is a large unfenced backyard behind my apartment that is a communal space and lots of walking trails around including the Huckleberry Trail!

“Linda and David are amazing. They took a great care of my dog. They kept me updated, sent pictures every day, were super quick to respond to messages, accommodate to our delay to return from our trip, and were very nice and kind. I will use them again.”


“Mallory and her husband are very nice, and very flexible. She will take a picture of my dog and text to me. My dog had fun staying with them. Will definitely recommend Mallory as your dog sitter.”
