“Shannon is absolutely wonderful. Great communication and my pup had a wonderful stay. She stays on top of my dog’s needs and she has a wonderful space for dogs to enjoy their time.”


“Karen was absolutely incredible with my dog, Sano! From the very beginning, she was warm, professional, and genuinely attentive to his needs. She kept me updated every single day with messages, photos, and videos which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she cared for Sano like he was her own, and I could tell he felt comfortable and happy in her care. Karen is a stellar person and a true gem on Rover—I would absolutely trust her to watch Sano again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend!”


“This was my first time leaving my dog with a boarder. I received pictures and reassuring texts showing what a wonderful time he had at their home. Feeling confident I can leave him for a much longer stay in a few months. Thank you!”


“Nina provided great care for our dog Max and was very communicative when there was an issue during his stay. She is very friendly and kind. She also has the cutest puppy in the world!!”

About: I’ve had dogs for 30+ years and now I’m retired with no dogs so have room for yours. I am gentle and playful as well as responsible and active. I do not take cats, sorry. I watch our daughter’s dog on occasion but would not watch him at the same time. I had a lovely chihuahua for 16 years, and a husky, as well as a fluffy white mixed pup, all healthy and happy and had their senior years with us as well. I’m retired and home all day doing eBay and other hobbies. I also take daily walks and would take your dog out often as well. I have a large fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood. I am also home a lot and allow the small dogs to jump up in my lap and furniture.

“We couldn’t be happier with the care Sara provided for our dog Mina during the past week. From the very beginning, Sara was attentive and kept us updated at all times, sending us regular messages and photos of Mina looking absolutely happy and relaxed. It was clear that Mina was in great hands-she looked so content in every picture! We feel incredibly lucky to have found Sara and are grateful for her dedication and kindness. Without a doubt, we will trust her again in the future. Highly recommended!”


“Lucy was wonderful with our little pug! She sent plenty of updates and photos and I always felt comfortable knowing my dog was safe and well. Her house is nicely set up for dog sitting and as a foster dog mom she definitely has a way with the furry friends. I would highly recommend Lucy!”



“Can't say enough wonderful words about our experience with Jessica! We went to Europe for two weeks and came back to the happiest , most loved dog! She sent us pictures and videos the entire time we were gone and treated our dog like one of her own! We will be recommending her to our friends in the area and hope to use her services again some day!!”



“Very sweet and willing to work with me on drop off and pick up times which I appreciated so much! Even gave a check in to let me know how how my pup was doing halfway through the stay. Definitely would hire again for our next vacation”


“Francis saved the day, and my vacation …by accepting my 3.5 year old German Shepherd last minute, for one week. I was confident from our first meeting my dog would be safe and comfortable in her home. Daily pictures and updates were appreciated and alleviated a lot of worry. She and her family are the sweetest people! it’s apparent they love what they do. My dog had a great time, most happy she could play with other dogs. I highly recommend booking with Francis, and (my dog Jada) can’t wait until I book my next trip.”


“Terry did a wonderful job with our new and somewhat fearful puppy. She took care during our meet & greet that Nellie would be comfortable in her home with a cat, and kept us up to date throughout Nellie's stay with messages and pictures. Terry is patient and thoughtful , and will be a wonderful caregiver to your pet!”


“It was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter and was a little nervous. But Tina was great! She was accommodating and lovely. She sent us updates throughout the stay. We’ll def go back to her when we go back!”


“Madison was great.communicative and upbeat and felt very comfortable leaving our mini golden doodle there for two days. We liked that her dog Jack was there and her and her husband are very conscientious and responsible. Lead in the backyard for Henry to play with jack but not feel restricted and flexible on pick up time. Very satisfied!”


About: Dogs are truly my one passion. I'd love to help you and yours however I can! Growing up I've always had a variety of animals, but right now I have two dogs. Jojo (11yrs) and Libby (4yrs). They are everything to me and it gives me great pleasure to provide for them, ensuring their happiness and well being. I have experience with dogs of all ages, and pets of all kinds! I am a Certified Professional Animal Care Provider (CPACP) through PACCC. You can view my badge at - bcert.me/sizlosuuu ! Giving the highest quality care to your pups is my top priority. I have 8+ years experience in pet care, including 6 years Doggy Daycare Management and Puppy Room experience with puppies under 6 months. For a few years I was assisting in positive reinforcement dog training classes as well. I learned tips and tricks on how to gain attention with your dogs, leash walking skills, and much much more. I'm used to off leash group play (15+ dogs at a time), so dog walking and sitting full time is a bit new for me. But I am so excited to explore this new opportunity with you! I will use the skills I've acquired to ensure your dog is HAPPY and SAFE! I will love your pup just like my own. Looking forward to making memories and I can't wait to meet you all! Full time dog walking/drop ins + "almost" overnight sitting. Making early morning and late night trips to accommodate your pup. My own two dogs just need a regular check in half way through day. Communication is key. I would love to know all of your fur baby's habits and quirks so that I can adjust my routine or plan for the day. I like to do meet and greets before hand so that I can ensure all parties are comfortable and happy! Send me a message to chat with me and let me know what your needs are. I love to take pictures of our adventures together and share them with you as well!

“Elizabeth and her family were wonderful with Sully! He received the best care with them. Elizabeth also sent lots of photo updates and kept us appraised of how he was doing while we were away. We would absolutely have Sully stay with Elizabeth again!”


“Joe took great care of Banjo! Banjo is super small and has a lot of anxiety around new places, but I could tell he settled in quickly and felt very comfortable. Would book with Joe again any time!”
