“Shannon was a wonderful sitter for our pup for the day! She was available to take him at the last minute on a holiday and my dog had a great time with her. When I arrived to pick him up Shannon walked away from my pup to retrieve something out the house and he went to follow her because he wanted to go where she went. He loved spending the day with her, her dog and her family ❤️ I highly recommend Shannon and will definitely use her in the future!”

“My almost one year old Vizsla came home exhausted! She even had a couple of buddies to play with. Jennifer is very kind and made it very easy to drop off/pick up. I will be using her service again.”

“William (and Cara!) did a fantastic job with my boy Otis. Otis was still recovering from a medical procedure and they kept me updated constantly, made sure he received attention and snacks, and made me feel at ease while I was still nervous about letting him out of my sight. Otis left very happy, and I will recommend them to anyone else who needs a doggy Daycare.”


About: Smooches and cuddles is what my husband and I give because I know I will get them reciprocated. I am a full time healthcare professional that simply loves all furry fluff balls. Its a great feeling to know your animal is well cared for and loved in a home and not put into a kennel. This is where we come in! I would never want anyone to put their animal in a cement cell block leaving them to have sad feelings and wonder what is going on. Your pet will be loved on and cared for just as if he or she was one of ours, morning, day and night! I do work from home! I have worked from home for quite a few year which allows me to let doggies out every hour if needed and take several quick walks Pets are allowed to go everywhere in the home. We do have a baby gate up at my office door to block off dogs when we leave the house for a period of time if they are puppies

“My dog had a great stay with Jim today. She was kept active, taken to swim, fetched, played in a fenced in yard-- everything you really could ask for when looking for care for your pet. So appreciate the time he took to ask me questions, he had a plan for what he wanted to go and do -- a true dog lover. When I need someone again in the future, he's my call. Thank you, Jim.”


About: I’ve owned several dogs, large and small breeds, most of my life. I am a dog lover!!. I am a retired registered nurse, and recently had to say goodbye to our beloved lab, Mack. I am missing a furry friend and would love to meet and care for your pet. I have a lovely setting for boarding your dog or cat. I live in a wooded area with large lots and long meandering roads for walks that are away from busy roads. I am home full time since I retired and love to walk, so your dog will get lots of exercise staying with me. I usually only take one dog at a time, however if you have 2 pets from the same household, I would take both. I will give full attention to your pet during boarding, doggy day care, drop in visits, and walks. I will love and play with them and follow any specific instructions for pet care you have. I will communicate with pet updates during our visits and send you pictures of your pets daily activities.


“Odin had a great time at Natalie’s. He got to play with another young dog and was very tired out when he got home. She updated me all day, and made me feel good about leaving him with someone I’ve never met. I will be using her services again in the future. She is truly a dog lover.”


About: I have loved caring for animals as long as I can remember. I’ve had the following dogs in my family: golden retriever, Alaskan malamute, English setter, Irish setter, and a Great Dane. I work from home which makes me readily available to care for your family member. I work from 8am until 5pm and go to the gym in the evenings most days. The house is large and the neighborhood has wilderness and traffic Mmmmm cars drive slowly. I like to give pets a decent amount of free space, though I will confine them to a room or crate if I need to leave the household which is likely. Please make sure your pet doesn’t bark excessively or scratch at doors if left in a room.

“Kristin watched my dog, Pearl, for daycare and she had so much fun with Kristin’s dog Willow! Kristin sent me several pics throughout the day of our girls playing and having the best time. She took great care of my Pearl and I look forward to bringing her back for daycare or any overnight stay. Thank you so much, Kristin!!”

About: Hi there! My husband and I are new to rover! We just recently lost our beloved Black Lab, Otis. He was the best addition to our family. We had him since he was 7 weeks old until he passed just shy of 8 years old from chronic kidney disease. With that said, we are looking to snuggle, care and love on your dog! My husband and I have over 15 years of experience taking care of dogs. My husband trained our dog to be off a leash and was an avid duck hunter. He loved being outdoors and was a master of frisbee. For boarding: My kids are ages 4 and 3 so I ask the dog is comfortable and familiar with children. We also live on Crooked Lake and would be happy to bring your dog on our boat if they love the water. We live on a spacious lot with a lot of activity in our cul de sac. My husband works from home M-F and has flexibility. I am off on Thursdays and would be willing to do a longer term dog walk companion on my days off. I am a Nurse Practitioner and my husband works from home full time in the automotive sales industry. He is able to spend time with your dog throughout the day! He is able to walk the dog as well as play frisbee or ball in the yard. We have an open yard concept with a lot of street activity. We live on a dead end cul de sac that leads to crooked lake. We prefer dogs come to our house for convenience but we are happy to come to the house to let your dog out for a potty break or a walk.

About: About Me I’ve been watching animals of all kinds for over 10 years. From chicken, ducks, and hedgehogs to cats and dogs and I love each and every one of them as my own. My Schedule I’m currently going back to school for nursing. Aside from classes/clinical a few hours a week I’m home full time. This allows me more time with your little love! *My clinicals are typically half days, so if there is a particular day I marked unavailable, please send me a message, we may be able to work something out.* My Home I live on 1.6 acres off of a private road. My backyard is completely fenced with plenty of trees and nature. This allows for a SAFE environment for your fur baby to run/exercise, play, and sniff for mental stimulation. What to Expect I treat all animals as my own and ensure play and exercise is part of our routine. Photos/videos and activity descriptions are sent to ensure you feel connected to your fur baby! I love animals more than people, and will ensure to treat your little love like royalty! I’m a nursing student so I have a pretty open schedule aside from classes! I have a VERY large fenced back yard and two very friendly doggos who love to play! All play is supervised and (because of my nursing background), I’ll check your babies frequently to ensure no fleas, ticks, etc.

“My dog has pretty severe separation anxiety as well as fear of other dogs. It has been challenging finding the right caretaker for him. Richard and Sarah have been fantastic with Guinness and he enjoys his time there. A little out of the way to get him there but worth it because of how great Richard and Sarah are with our boy.”
