Loving Care for Your Fur Baby ❤️

🐾 DOG SIZE Policy: I specialize in caring for small to medium sized dogs! Unfortunately, I do not accept dogs over 35 lbs. Thank you for understanding. 🐾 SPECIALIZED CARE: I welcome only 2–3 dogs at a time to ensure a safe environment and to give each dog the dedicated attention and care they deserve. 🐾 SENIOR DOGS: For senior dogs aged 11 years and older, an additional $10 per night fee applies to accommodate the extra care and attention they may require. 🎁 NEW USERS: Use code ROWENC92654 to get $20 off your first booking with me! -------------- Hi! ◡̈ I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember and have been lucky enough to have grown up amongst dogs. Caring for dogs is second nature to me, and I treat every doggo as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve dog-sat for friends and family, often times for weeks or months at a time, and it’s always a joy! So, what makes me different? I don’t just care for your dog—I make sure they feel safe, loved, and completely spoiled while you’re away. From fun walks and playtime to cozy cuddle sessions, I’ll keep their tail wagging the entire time! Plus, I LOVE taking photos, so you can count on receiving plenty of adorable pictures and videos. Your fur baby is in for lots of love and attention—and I guarantee happy tail wags when they’re with me! -------------- ATTN: First-time Rover pawrents – you've found the right place ◡̈ I completely understand how anxious it can feel to be apart from your fur baby. I have a pup of my own, and I’m always anxious when we’re apart, so I know exactly how you're feeling. That’s why I treat every dog in my care as my own. I always do everything I can to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and totally at home. I’ve also worked with dogs who struggle with separation anxiety, and I have a lot of patience when it comes to helping them feel calm and comfortable. My goal is to make each dog's stay feel like a fun little staycation — comfy, stress-free, and so enjoyable that they'll be excited to come back next time! --------------

Had a wonderful experience with Rowena...my dog looked healthy and happy in all her photos! And certainly seemed well loved and cared for when I picked her up. Thankful Rowena was able to take us last minute and will definitely use her again in the future!

“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Nola! Your love, patience, and attention made such a difference. Knowing she was with someone who treated her with kindness and cared for her like family gave us so much peace of mind. Thank you for being patient with her personality and making her feel comfortable and loved. We truly appreciate everything you did and would happily trust you with Nola again and again 💗

This was our first time leaving our pup with a sitter so you can imagine how concern we were, fortunately we came across Rowena who was very helpful, patient, and communicative with us. She updated us frequently with photos and messages about our pup. She went the extra mile with washing bowls, cleaning eye boogers, and wiping any drooling on our pup which many other sitters would not bother themselves to do. We would definitely book with her again!

Second time boarding with Rowena! She is very communicative and she sent tons of cute pictures! My pup had a cut from the groomer and Rowena was able to help apply medication to it. Would highly recommend her, and my dog loves her! :)

I dropped of my 5.5 year old Goldendoodle Zephyr at Rowena's for the first time this morning. Rowena greeted us and was warm, friendly and affectionate. She sweetly carried Zeph in because he wanted to come home with me. Once I left, I received many photographs and videos over the 5 hours that he was there, which was reassuring and comforting. I could tell that Zeph was happy and relaxed there. I had a very good experience with Rowena and will definitely drop Zeph off again there when needed.

Schedule

I’m a work-from-home designer with a flexible schedule and a huge heart for animals. Since I’m home throughout the day, your pet will enjoy plenty of attention—whether it’s playtime in the yard, walks in the park, or lots of cuddle sessions. Their happiness and comfort are my top priorities, and I’ll make sure they feel right at home (maybe even a little spoiled!). With me, your furry friend will be safe, loved, and right at home <3

Safety, trust & environment

I have a spacious fenced yard with no harmful plants, making it a safe and fun space for your dog to play! Plus, my property is equipped with full security cameras, ensuring your pup is always safe and well-monitored while in my care. I will only take in up to two dogs at a time so rest assured that your dog(s) will have my full attention and personalized care! I like to keep my house clean and will always wipe down the doggies paws after potty breaks & playtime in the yard.

Pets

A typical day

I’m a big fan of staying active and love getting my steps in throughout the day. First thing in the morning, I’ll clean your dog’s eyes to make sure they start the day fresh and comfortable. Mornings are perfect for me to take your dog on a 30 min to 1 hour walk to kick off the day with some fresh air and exercise. In the evenings, I tend to go on a walk around the neighborhood after dinner, so your doggie will always have plenty of outdoor time and attention! Lots of belly rubs and cuddles will also be given throughout the day!

I’d love to know if there are any special items or requests to make your pup’s stay as comfortable as possible—like which is their favorite toy, treats, or things they do / do not enjoy! It would also preferred if your fur baby could have a bath before being dropped off. Not only does it help them feel fresh and comfortable during their stay, but it also helps me keep a clean and safe space for all the dogs who come through my home. I care deeply about providing the best environment possible ◡̈ I will only accept dogs that are potty-trained and well-behaved around furniture. Thank you for understanding!
