“Luke is so committed to giving great care to your dog. He keeps them safe, hydrated, listens to your requests & helps them to get exercise & socialization in his fenced yard. Rachel will “love on” your pet too..He sincerely cares & will communicate well with owners.”


“We needed an unexpected daycare day for Scooter, due to a funeral & Emily really accommodated our sudden request for daycare! it was nice we didn’t have to leave Scooter home alone all day for the length of time we were gone. Emily sure loves the dogs, loves to play outside and has so much fun! Emily is amazing! and as usual, Scooter slept the 45 minute ride home! Thank you so much for allowing scooter to join his BFFF! He really likes to be there! See you soon!”



“Mike is amazing at what he does! It’s a bit of a drive for me but I see it as worth it - he’s very intentional with every dog and does a phenomenal job at caring for my puppy. :) She enjoys going over for the day.”


“Absolutely wonderful experience! Karen was so kind and welcoming to our very energetic pup! She has great attention to detail and took the time to truly get to know our dog and his unique personality and needs. Getting updates and pictures of our dog having the time of his life with Karen and her family made us feel so at ease knowing that he was in great, loving hands. We will definitely be reaching out to Karen in the future and our pup can’t wait to go back! ☺️❤️”


“Today our pup spent the day with Jessica, Rick, and Luna. When it came time to pick him up, he had so much fun, he didn’t want to go home. Due to schedule changes we were in rut trying to find a last minute doggy day care for our high energy pup. Jessica responded quickly and was willing to take him in for the day. Our pup is home now and exhausted from a long and fun day playing with Jessica, Rick, and Luna.”


“This was my first time using rover, and Tracy was fantastic! Would definitely recommend her to anybody that needs a dog sitter in the area. In the off chance I'm traveling through again, I'll be looking her up for Sammie!”


“Giovana and her family were so wonderful with Skye. I couldn’t have asked for a better puppy sitter. Thank you so much for treating Skye like he was part of your family. If I need a sitter again, hopefully you are available. 😁”


“Kathleen was awesome! My dog had the best time, and I loved getting cute pics and updates while I was away. It was such a relief knowing my pup was in great hands. Highly recommend Kathleen! I’ll definitely book again!”



“This was the first time we used Rover. We left Gunner for a daycare day to start. Carolyn and Kristopher were great with Gunner. Carolyn wrote down all the details of Gunner’s normal routine and his particular needs. He came home very tired which was a win. We will be using them again in February for a longer stay. So thankful we found such wonderful people to leave him with.”



“Sarah is fantastic! Gracie has so much fun with her and her dogs. Sarah is patient, caring, and takes wonderful care of Gracie. She sends regular updates and the cutest pictures. I am so happy we found her and can’t wait to continue to have her care for Gracie!”


“Thank you for caring for GiGi. It was also nice that you had a nice fenced back yard. You live in such a convenient place, a couple minutes off of the Highway and 10 minutes from major shopping and great restaurants.”


About: Leaving your four legged loved ones at home when you go on vacation is never easy. I strive to make sure they feel cared for and loved while you are away so you don't need to worry! I have over 18 years experience caring for animals of my own, rescue fosters, and shelter animals, and caring for others' pets while they are away. I am a lifelong animal lover with experience with cats, dogs, and small animals like ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, chickens, and more. I have cats and dogs of my own currently. Whether you are looking for a dog walker, a drop-in pet sitter, or a comfortable place to board your four-legged (or more or less) family members, I can be of service to you. I live in a single family home with a fully fenced in backyard, and a separate dedicated nicely sized bedroom dedicate to boarding. Whether I'm housing your pets or visiting your home, my goal is always to make them as comfortable and as happy as possible! I am currently working part-time from home. I am available for boarding, walking, and drop-ins, on a relatively flexible schedule. I am also offering sitter pick-ups and drop-offs as a boarding add-on. My style of pet care is catering to their needs and your desires. I have experience with shy, rowdy, low-energy, and other types of personalities. Each pet and each situation requires a unique approach.


“Kelly has been great with Coco! Because she has other dogs, Coco had the opportunity to socialize and have a ton of playtime. When I would pick her up in the evenings, she was so mellow which is saying a lot for an energetic puppy. Kelly kept me updated with pics of Coco throughout the day. We will definitely use her again!”


About: I have owned dogs and cats my entire life and am grateful for the companionship they bring. I can provide a safe and loving environment while you are away. I am also familiar with special needs dogs, puppies and seniors. I work from home and am available to help care for your beloved pets while you are away. I also own a small dog and a cat, so I take frequent trips outside for exercise and bathroom breaks. I have a fenced yard and go on daily walks. I love dogs and will spend time watching over your dog in a safe and nurturing environment. I also have a small dog that would enjoy making friends if your dog would enjoy that.
