“Richard was a wonderful host, he gave me plenty of updates as well as sending me pics through out my pups stay. He had a big fenced in yard with plenty of space for my dog to run around and play 10/10 definitely recommend.”
“Alexis was very responsive during our "interview" stage and very pleasant upon arrival. Although prince was anxious to leave he seemed to be comfortable and safe and that's all that mattered. Thank you for being available.”
“Elaine and her daughter are the best! We always have total peace of mind leaving our anxious girl with them. They’re great with dogs and really know what they’re doing.”
“These two were great on both occasions with my boy. They were able to meet him where he is at with his special needs (slow to trust) and provide patient introductions. We are booked for another day of daycare and will continue to book with them.”
“Sara was amazing !! She was very flexible with booking even when it was very last minute. She was very kind and sweet and sent us photos of our puppy. I would 100% reccomend booking with her! I look forward to book with her in the future!”
“I can’t even explain what a relief it is to have found Valerie! After our previous Rover sitter moved away, I had major reservations about finding someone else to trust with Teddy. All of my concerns vanished with Valerie. She is warm, kind, and truly cares about the pets left in her care. I was spoiled with photos and video updates all day. It is such a relief to know that Teddy has a happy safe place I can rely on. I picked him up and he was happy and obviously doted on all day. THANK YOU so much! We can’t wait to see you again.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have loved animals my entire life. I have been a pet sitter for many friends and neighbors over the years and had my own canine companion for 10 years. She passed away in November of 2023. Animals deserve to be loved and treated like family. I promise that your dogs will be treated very well and that they will truly enjoy their “vacation” at my home. It’s difficult to leave your “loved ones” in the care of others and I know that feeling. Rest assured that they will be cared for and spoiled to the best of my ability! I am a behavioral therapist who works with children and families. I have a hybrid job which means that I work from home doing Telehealth services and I also see clients in person at times. I am home for most of the day and this worked perfectly when I cared for my late dog, Arwen. I do not have any pets currently. I have an elevated deck that is only accessible from the house. It is surrounded and my dog loved to spend time out there basking in the sun. I have a yard but it is not fenced in. My neighborhood is quiet and very dog friendly.
“We had a great experience with Gretchen! We were in town for a wedding and looking for someone to come to our rental house and sit with our dog there. Even though this is not a standard dog-sitting situation, she was willing to accommodate us. Our pup was calm and content when we returned and everything worked out great.”
“We needed an afternoon of drop in care while doing a college tour. Bengu took my fur babies in on short notice. She sent lots of pics. And the dogs really enjoyed getting into the yard after being cooped up in our air bnb. I will definitely use her service again when visiting the kids at college.”
“Laura was amazing with my dog Oakley! He had such a great time and now whines when we drive past her home. She and her son are now some of his favorite people! Very flexible with our schedule and needs. Thank you!❤️”
“Ava you are AWESOME !! Thank for spending time with King , this was his first time and I know he spend a good time with you ... I feel more confident in going out next time knowing that you will be there for King ... Thank you Ava .”
About: I’ve taken care of small animals since I was a kid. I was always the student who volunteered to take the class pet home for extended breaks from school. Some of the animals I cared for included leopard geckos, hamsters, and Guinea pigs! I have loved animals ever since! Besides class pets, I grew up babysitting my Aunt’s dog, Oscar, whenever she went on vacation or needed some extra help. I got my first dog when I was 12 and he’s still living with us today! I am offering all services for small to medium sized dogs. I’m currently a college student and will be home for summer break! I work a part time job at a doggy daycare so I have plenty of experience with dog behavior :) I can assure you that daily walks and cuddles with your pup fit into my schedule <3 We have one small dog named Gizmo who is an 8 year old Shih-tzu mix. He is super friendly as he loves both people and dogs! We do not have a fenced yard but we regularly take trips to the local dog park. Additionally, we have a fenced deck where the dogs can get some fresh air and let out their barkies! I know it can be intimidating to leave your pet with a stranger, especially a young person. As such, I try to make everyone feel welcome. I assure you that I am dedicated to your pet’s safety and well-being and promise to care for your pet as if they were my own. They will become a part of the furry family for the duration of their stay ♥️
“Deacon and Greta had a great first day with Angela! She sent us pictures of then and when I picked them up, they didn't want to leave! What peace of mind we have leaving our dogs with them, one of which is special needs, knowing they were getting so much love! We can't wait for their next stay!”
About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life. I currently have 2 sibling Shelties who are 4 years old, they are very friendly and love to play. I work from home so I am flexible with my availability. I can take dogs out frequently for fresh air and to get exercise and attention. There are common areas/open fields in my neighborhood where my dogs love to run and play. I have lots of space in my home including a finished basement with crates for dogs who like to have some quiet time.

Mary M.
“I highly recommend Mary as a dog caregiver. I’d be happy to leave my dogs in her care anytime. You and your dog have come to good fortune if she is watching your dog. I have known Mary more than 25 years. She is good person, and she is expert at taking care of and training dogs. She certainly has more than 10,000 hours taking care of dogs. She currently owns two very sweet Shetland sheep dogs she trained and cares for. They are playful and respectful of each other and other dogs and humans. She previously had two Australian Shepherds that lived to 13 and 14 years old. They were well behaved and great with people and other dogs.”
