“Kathleen was absolutely amazing. She was kind, gentle and patient with our pup who was going through some separation anxiety. She was incredibly communicative and provided updates and photos during the day care visit. We would highly recommend her!”
“Austin and his fiancee were great with our puppy Daisy. They sent updates, pictures and videos while she was staying with them for the day and it made me feel very comfortable and at ease with her first time at a pet sitter. I will definitely use them again when Daisy needs someone to watch her.”
“Amma was awesome! Her pictures were amazing and she kept me up to date on how Luna was doing with the pack during the daycare. I highly recommend Anna for anyone who is looking for someone to look after their pup!”
“Stephanie is a great communicator and very patient with all of our concerns for her first visit with her. Frankie had a great day and came home happy and tired from the day of play (that she loves). We are so glad to have found Stephanie and appreciate her beautiful attitude!”
“Nate and his family were absolutely wonderful with my poodle mix Pickles. I received lots of pictures and videos of Pickles having the time of his life. I will definitely rebook Nate to watch after my fur baby in the future.”
“James was easy to work with! We were a last minute booking and he was very accommodating. Sent an update pic of our dog which eased our minds of our dog having a good time! Would definitely recommend him!”
“My pup Addie went to Kelly's home for a doggy day care. Kelly immediately made her feel right at home. Kelly & her husband took extra time and care playing a lot with Addie and lots of cuddles and also took extra precaution as it was so hot outside. Addie is looking forward to the next 6 days with Kelly. I was updated with pics and could see how much fun Addie was having. We are leaving our pup in great hands. Mary Ann A”
“Chelsie totally made us feel at ease with leaving our dog with her. He has a lot of anxiety in new situations and around new people and she has been very patient with him. Will absolutely be utilizing her services again! 10/10 would recommend!”
About: NOTE: I am often not able to schedule bookings more than 1–2 weeks in advance because I usually don’t know my schedule that far out. However, feel free to message me ahead of time so I can get an idea of your dates and let you know when I may be available. I can sometimes accommodate last-minute bookings, but a meet and greet is always required first. I can only accept crate/kennel-trained dogs. I work from home, so your dog can spend most of the day out with me. However, if I need to run a short errand, they must be comfortable staying in the crate/kennel you provide. They will also need to sleep in their crate/kennel at night. I am best suited for dogs who can settle down after exercise. I can provide a morning and evening walk, play with them throughout the day, and give them regular attention. However, I cannot provide constant one-on-one attention for hours at a time. My own dogs were high-energy, but after a walk and some playtime, they were happy to relax near me while I worked. If your dog needs constant activity or attention all day, I am not able to book them. I have 22+ years of experience caring for dogs and have watched dogs of many sizes and ages. I had my Labrador from 8 weeks old until he was 12, and my Vizsla from 8 weeks old until he was 9.5. Sadly, my Labrador passed away in 2016 and my Vizsla passed away from cancer in March 2026. I currently have no pets and am taking a break after losing my Vizsla. My home is non-smoking, pet-free, and child-free. A 10 year old child, a friend's son, sometimes does visit, but your dog will generally spend their stay with out any kids in my home. A meet and greet is required before every booking. I want to make sure your dog is comfortable with me and my home, and that I can provide the care they need. During the meet and greet, I will also have you step outside for a few minutes to see how your dog handles being separated from you. This is especially important if I would be the first person to ever watch your dog or if they are very attached to you. I have occasionally had to decline dogs after a meet and greet who did not adapt to me such I felt I could give them the care they deserve, but I have been able to accept most dogs I meet. For previous clients, I have sent photos and updates of their dogs during walks, playtime, potty breaks, meals, etc. I plan to do the same for your dog so you can see how they are doing while you are away. If you prefer fewer updates, just let me know. If your dog has trouble settling in their kennel, you may want to consider bringing a stainless-steel lick mat that securely attaches inside the kennel. You can put a dog-safe spread on it and freeze it ahead of time. One option is Dog Buddy Budder Relax Rover 100% Natural Dog Peanut Butter for Stress & Anxiety (green label), which contains natural ingredients intended to help dogs relax. If you purchase peanut butter locally, please make sure it is smooth and does not contain any unsafe added ingredients. I recommend Justin’s Smooth Peanut Butter. It is more expensive, but the smooth texture spreads well on the lick mat. I have seen this setup work very well fog dogs I have previously watched. Please test anything you plan to use at home first and check with your veterinarian to make sure it is safe for your dog. I can only use products you provide. My goal is to make your time apart as easy and stress-free as possible for both you and your dog. I know how difficult it can be to find someone you trust, especially when your dog is very attached to you. I want you to feel confident that your dog is safe, comfortable, loved, and having a good time while you are away. Please read my tips and FAQs below before booking. I have included as much information as possible so you can decide whether I am the right sitter for your dog. I work from home, so I am able to be with your dog for most of the day. They are welcome to relax on the floor or on the sofa on a blanket while I work. I can take them outside for potty breaks in the backyard as needed, as well as take them for walks during the day. If I need to run an errand, I will put them safely in the kennel/crate you provide while I am gone. It is unlikely I would be gone for more than 1–2 hours, and most errands would likely be less than an hour. Your dog will also need to sleep in the kennel/crate you provide at night. I only care for your dog(s) during their scheduled stay and do not accept other dogs at the same time. I currently have no pets of my own, so your dog(s) will receive plenty of one-on-one love and attention. My home has a fenced backyard, and in good weather I can use a doggy door so they can come in and out as they like. Most dogs I have watched prefer staying inside with me, but I’m happy to accommodate dogs who enjoy relaxing outside. A meet and greet is required before booking so your dog can meet me, see my home, and make sure they feel comfortable here. There is no charge for the meet and greet. I only confirm a stay after we’ve met and agreed it’s a good fit.
“Griffin took fantastic care of our baby. She was so excited to hang out with them everyday and play. She has been so much more confident around other dogs and people since. Would recommend them to anyone!”
About: I have always a dog of my own since I was a kid. And I am that friend/family member every one leaves their dog with when they travel. For puppies under 2 years I prefer they sleep in a crate for overnight. Send me any questions you may have. I work at home, so I am always here. You can send me any questions you may have. Your fur baby will have plenty of attention! I have a fenced yard, and a friendly dog. Your fur baby will have fun, get fresh air and exercise, and indoor play as well.
About: Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy and take seriously. I have experience taking care of my own dog and understand the importance of routine, love, and attention. I provide daily walks, regular potty breaks, and make sure each pet feels safe and cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own—paying attention to their needs, personality, and comfort. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment so both pets and their owners feel at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and can plan my day around each pet’s needs, including morning and evening visits, feeding, walks, and check-ins. I’m consistent and reliable, and I make sure pets receive timely care and attention every day. I’m also available for updates and communication with owners as needed. I prioritize safety, consistency, and a calm environment in every home I care for. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, walks or litter care, and any specific instructions—to help pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar space. I keep the environment clean, safe, and stress-free, and I’m mindful of doors, gates, and potential hazards at all times. I also respect each pet’s personality, giving them space or interaction based on their comfort level. I provide regular updates with messages and photos so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away.
“Beth was amazing! We met beforehand to make sure our pups got along and she was so kind and accommodating! She sent pictures to keep me updated and filled out the Rover cards everyday to let me know how it went! Will definitely be using her again!”
“Victoria was absolutely incredible with my puppy. She sent me photo updates throughout the day and gave him plenty of attention. He was so worn out after his day at Victoria’s he was asleep before we got out of the neighborhood. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Joy has watched rocket a few times now but this was the longest stay yet! I am so grateful that she was able to watch rocket and show her so much love. It is a lot easier leaving her knowing she is getting so much love and attention from Joy!”

Austin and Riley are fantastic! My five year old dachshund has had a blast at daycare. He comes home tired out and happy from playing with their sweet dogs! They are very easy to communicate with and send plenty of photo updates. We’ve already booked them for boarding, too!
This was my first time using Rover and I was thrilled with Kathleen as a dog sitter. I took my very high energy Wheaten Terrier to her home. Kathleen was very communicative and sent me pictures of my dog playing and napping. I can tell my dog had a great time as she was totally exhausted! I highly recommend Kathleen and will use her service again.

Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
