“Christine was fantastic! She took wonderful care of our two puppies and gave them a loving, fun experience. We received regular updates and adorable pictures, which gave us peace of mind. It was clear our pups truly enjoyed their time with her while we were away.”


“My dog came back his self and Abby let me know that he does well with cats, which is great. I came to pick him up straight from the airport and I was running half an hour late to pick him up but Abby was accommodating.”


“Rhonda was the best with our Winnie! She provided a beautiful place for Winnie to stay and peace of mind for us. We loved receiving pictures. So thankful!”


“I would absolutely use Michael again to watch our fur baby. He sent frequent updates and great pics. We could tell she was being spoiled rotten. I highly recommend Michael for anyone looking for a sitter for your fur babies.”

“Dylan and Alex were great. They have a lovely home and fenced in yard for the our dog's to play in. They sent us daily check ins and were super responsive. We would definitely use them again!”


“Kim was amazing with my dog, Tux!! He stayed with her for 3 nights and had a blast! I know he was well taken care of! She also bathed and groomed him while he was with her and I got him back so clean and well groomed! She does such an amazing job and we will be coming back to her for grooming and hopefully he can visit again when we have to go out of town. She really is amazing and amazing at what she does! You can tell she truly loves the animals she watches and takes care of!”


“This was my first time ever using Rover, and Amy and Grant made it such a great experience! They were absolutely amazing with my dog Oscar—super communicative, informative, and clearly very caring. I got regular updates and photos, and it looked like Oscar was having the best time. He came home happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. I could tell they treated him like part of the family. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend!”


“Omg amazing. She is a life saver I had a last min issue with my last booker and she came in and saved the day. Very responsive sent pictures. I even forgot some of their stuff and she had back up. I highly recommend”


About: I promise you trust, communication, comfortability, and great care! I love pets! I grew up with a Golden Retriever named Skippy! I now own my beautiful mut mix of Lab, Pit and Blood Hound. His name is Maverick! He's 2 and such a loving, happy dude! I currently dog sit my mom's 3 Boston Terriors whenever she needs to go out of town and have been since I was a teenager. I also take in my best friend's older pit bull, Cookie, and her and Maverick get along wonderfully! There's plenty of space to walk dogs around my apartment community, along with a fenced in tennis court area where they can run free! I work full time AT HOME so I'm flexible just looking to make some extra money I work from home Monday through Friday, and am available most weekends, so I have lots of time and flexibility to care for your doggos! I live in an apartment but it's very dog friendly! I will ensure your dog gets lots of attention and love! I have access to lots of trails, open pet areas, and a fenced in tennis court where they can run free and we can play fetch! My dog is very friendly and has lots of experience around other dogs. I do have a large dog crate if that is required or necessary.

“This was the first time I ever needed to board my dog. Ms. Tracey was absolutely wonderful with my Sullivan. She took great care of him and sent us plenty of pictures so we would not miss so much. I would recommend her to anyone looking to board their dog. She is definitely at the top of our list if we ever need this service again. Thank you so much Rover/Ms. Tracey.”


“Ari took such good care of Stella!! I received updates and photos every day. You could tell Stella was having an awesome time. Ari was very accommodating of Stellas needs as an older dog with knee issues. Her home is so dog friendly with plenty of places for Stella to rest and explore. She was also very understanding and flexible with my travel plans. Would 1000% recommend, and Stella will be back here for sure”


“Bethany and her family were awesome with Kratos. She updated me almost daily with pictures and how he was doing as well as reassured me on his off days. We will definitely use her again on another one of our vacations. We highly recommend her.”



About: First…Let me beat any price! Let’s chat! As a teacher, mother, and proud dog mom to four (including a Dalmatian and three sweet Huskies), I understand the importance of structure, patience, and personalized care for every fur baby. My nearly 3,000 sq. ft. home offers plenty of room to roam, play, or relax—and the fully fenced backyard ensures safe, supervised outdoor play. Let’s get to it… When you drop your puppy off at a large boarding facility, it’s easy for them to become “just a number.” Dogs are often grouped together, which means less individual attention and care. Here in my home, your puppy will be treated like family—with daily walks, attention, structure, and safety. Unlike crowded facilities, I make sure each pup gets the love and boundaries they need to thrive. This is a crate-trained home, so your puppy must already be comfortable being crated between walks, cuddles, feedings, and bathroom breaks. For safety, your puppy must wear a harness or collar at all times. While this is a pet-friendly home, pups are not allowed on beds or sofas after outside play. As a pet parent myself, I know how important structure and consistency are. My own dogs are social, well-trained, and respond to direction—and I’ll provide the same loving, structured environment for your pup. Here, they’ll get the best balance of play, care, and comfort. Your pet deserves the best while you’re away—and I’m here to provide just that. Feel free to reach out with any questions. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. As a teacher, I’m up early every day and maintain a structured schedule, which works great for pets who thrive on consistency. My mornings and evenings are filled with walks, playtime, and quality snuggles with my own four dogs, so adding another fur baby to the mix feels like second nature. On weekends and school breaks, I’m home much more and can give even more one-on-one attention. Whether it’s feeding on a schedule, administering medications, or providing calm companionship, pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for every single day. In my home, pets are treated like family with plenty of space to play, relax, and follow their normal routines. I provide frequent potty breaks, walks, and lots of attention. Only Crate-trained dogs are welcome, especially since I may step out briefly during the day. While pets enjoy cozy resting areas, I do have a no-pets-on-the-bed policy. Their comfort and safety are always a top priority.

“We recently hired Claire to care for our dog AJ, a 4 year old retriever , while we were away for an entire month. Overall, the experience was excellent, and we felt confident that our boy was in capable hands. From the start, communication was smooth and timely. Claire made sure to ask detailed questions about AJ’s routine, diet, preferences, and quirks, which gave us peace of mind. During the stay, she provided regular updates and photos, showing walks, playtime, and quiet moments — a thoughtful touch we really appreciated. Our dog seemed relaxed and happy upon our return. It was clear Claire took her responsibility seriously and genuinely cared for our pet’s well-being. She was by far our best boarding experience. We would absolutely recommend Claire to other pet owners looking for reliable and attentive care. We’re already planning to rebook for our next trip!”
