“Voss took great care of our Dodie, sending daily updates with photos and videos. Voss also made sure Dodie got her medications. Great communication, friendly, easy to work with!”



“Had a great experience working with Kathryn. She boarded my two large dogs for the night, she was friendly and easygoing, very responsive to messages and sent updates on how they were doing. They seemed happy and tired when I picked them up. I will use her again and high recommend her, thanks Kathryn!”

“Nancy was wonderful and I knew Luna was having a blast on her beautiful farm. She even crate trained her for me in just a few days. Thanks again, Nancy. We will be back!”


“Spike is a "Senior" dog, and I am always nervous about how he'll act when at the dog sitter for multiple days..I quickly discovered that Casey was the absolute best choice I could have made, when I had to go out of town for a few days for work, and had to find a "last minute" sitter for my old buddy. I was given constant updates and photos, and it was easy to see my "old man" was content, and being well taken care off..thank you guys so, so much for taking care of my dog! I can not recommend them enough!”


“Brooke & Jason took anazing care of my sweet girl. They were very accommodating for small time changes and super quick to respond. They sent tons of pictures to ensure me that NOLA was having a great time. I look forward to booking with them again in the future 🙂”


“Jennifer is a true gem. Being new to the area, my dogs stay with her was the first with a new Rover and it couldn’t have gone better. Jennifer is kind, attentive and communicative. My pup had a great experience and we can’t wait to be return visitors. Two paws up and all of our thanks to Jennifer!”


“Sarah saved the day and helped us out with a difficult situation. She communicated perfectly and really put my mind at ease. Sully was clearly very well taken care of and we’ll definitely use her again.”


“Ann took excellent care of my dog, Max! She ensured that he got plenty of playtime, and sent me plenty of pictures and updates daily. She even surprised me by giving him a good bath! She also kept him an extra night when I got stranded at the airport. She certainly has a passion for caring for dogs.”


“As always Jody goes above and beyond for our pup! Homemade breakfasts, nature walks and lots of love and socialization! There’s no where else I’d rather board our sweet girl!”



“Erin and her husband were amazing!! They took excellent care of our dog, Nash, while we were traveling. He got numerous walks while staying with them and came home ready to nap (which is always nice when we are also coming back from traveling)! Would highly recommend and Nash absolutely cannot wait to stay with his new friends again!”


“We were very pleased with the care provided for our 2 large dogs by Kristen and her family. Communication was excellent and prompt. Her home was clean and orderly. Pictures were sent several times to assure us that all was well. We have already booked another stay with Kristen.”



“Fabulous care and communication. I have a special needs little dog and she did great. My other dog didn’t even miss us. Will definitely use Tania again.”

“Amanda goes above and beyond. This was our first time re-booking and she put so much thought into Bunny’s visit! Always excellent with sending updates and photos. We feel so comfortable leaving our puppy with Amanda!”


“This was the first time I had left my five-year-old corgi since adopting him five months ago. Laura gave him all the attention and walks he needed. My only disappointment was that he wasn’t more excited to see me when I got back! He will definitely remember Laura next time.”


About: I’ve had my own dogs since I was a kid. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family since I was in high school. I volunteer with a dog rescue so I have experience with dogs of all kinds from puppies to seniors. I work full-time at a wealth management company. I have plenty of time after work and on weekends to give dogs potty breaks or go for walks or car rides. If pet sitting, I prefer weekends, but would consider weekdays depending on the situation. My dogs are my world and I will take care of your pets like my own. They are allowed on furniture and in all rooms. They always have access to fresh water and can go outside to the fenced yard as needed.
