“Cannot thank them enough. It was my first time using Rover and on a short notice request- no problem. I got pictures of Alfie playing and cuddling throughout his stay which set me at ease. He also came back smelling nicer and was freshly brushed, he was so happy! I 100% recommend Heather and Norman”


“John and Orie are amazing. They take such good care of our pups when we’re away, whether it’s for a weekend or an extended period of time. One thing we’re super grateful for is their flexibility around timing, and even taking on an additional dog, or adding a night when our plans unexpectedly change! Highly recommend 💚🐕!”


“We just returned from a four day trip and couldn’t be happier with Karina’s care of our dog Milo. This is our third time having Karina watch Milo and we have continued to be impressed with her care. Milo started with a lot of anxiety but Karina’s experience in caring for dogs and her special attention to Milo made all the difference. We are so lucky to have found her.”


“Kim was so responsive and was a great sitter for our ten month old puppy with medical issues. She had no problem giving him his medication and taking him for a walk in his stroller. Jett made doggie friends, and when I picked him up, he greeted me with his usual vigor and then lay down at her feet. A sign that he trusts her and had fun! She sent updates and photos. I’ve already booked Kim for our next trip!”


“This was my second time using Jaylese and I will absolutely continue to use her every time! She took amazing care of Murphy, and even when he had some unexpected health Issues that meant he had to go to the vet, she handled the situation perfectly and kept me updated throughout the entire time. Murphy loves Jaylese and I wouldn’t want him to spend his time away from me with anyone else.”


“Franny took wonderful care of my 14 year old Charlie overnight. She’s a very kind person and Charlie felt completely comfortable with her. He also got along well with her dog. I will definitely be using her again.”


“Kaelan was a great sitter! We received photos daily . Kealan took Phillup out for rides which he loves and he got lots of affection. I don’t think he missed us at all. Highly recommend Kaelan! Will definitely use again!”



“Peter was such a wonderful sitter. His updates were timely and detailed and I felt confident that Nutmeg was cared for, happy, and healthy during her stay. I will definitely ask Peter to sit again if I’m ever in the area again.”


“MJ was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was very accommodating for a fairly last minute booking as well as both a changed drop off and pick up time. Our pup seemed to have a great time and we were kept up to date with photos of him during his stay. Highly recommend MJ!”


“Mary Ann Packard and my toy poodle Gabby had an initial meet and greet before Gabby’s stay with Mary Ann. For Gabby, it was love at first sight. While I was away, Mary Ann updated me on Gabby’s activities with texts and photos. Gabby seemed to be having so much fun, I feared that she would not want to return home. I found Mary Ann to be responsible, kind and caring. I would not hesitate to recommend her as a dog-sitter. I would like to give her the highest rating possible.”


“Nell was friendly, flexible about drop off/pick up, and so kind to our pup for her first stay away from us. Nell made our girl feel right at home and kept her happy in our absence.”


About: Hi there! I'm Ashley, a lifelong dog lover and work-from-home mom ready to give your pup the care and comfort they deserve. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs, especially after caring for my fur daughter, my sweet long-haired Chihuahua who was by my side for 17 wonderful years. I understand the slower pace and extra TLC that older pups need, and I’m here to provide just that. We’ve also had two German Shepherd mixes in the past, so I’m no stranger to larger breeds. While I typically prefer small to medium-sized dogs for our home setup, I’m open to exceptions for well-mannered larger dogs — especially seniors. Because I work from home and my kids are at daycare during the day, it’s just me and your pup…which means plenty of calm, one-on-one attention and companionship in a quiet environment. I know how stressful it can be to find care you trust…especially when options in our area are limited. That’s why I treat every dog like family, with love, routine, and lots of affection. I’ll care for your furry loved one as if they were my own and will happily share updates and photos as often as you'd like to give you peace of mind while you're away. I provide attentive, loving care while fitting seamlessly into my daily routine. Because I work from home with a lot of flexibility, I can offer daily daycare with plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. I’m also happy to provide overnight boarding for dogs who need a home-away-from-home. Throughout, I’ll keep you updated as much as you’d like, so you always feel comfortable and connected. I care for dogs in a safe, comfortable home environment where your dog will be treated like a valued family member. While I don’t have a fenced backyard, your dog will always be supervised and safe. They’re always free to explore and relax throughout the home. Because pets are part of the family, we often allow them on the couch and beds to snuggle and feel at home, but I’m always happy to follow your preferences to make sure your fur baby feels comfortable and loved.

About: Hi! I’m Ashley — a lifelong dog lover and trainer with over 23 years of experience in rescue, rehabilitation, fostering, and behavioral support. From puppies to seniors, shy dogs to leash-reactive ones, I’ve cared for them all. I currently live seasonally on a peaceful campground through November, which offers dogs plenty of enrichment with long nature walks, social interaction, and lots of time outdoors (weather permitting). I’m accepting: • Dog walking • Drop-in visits • House sitting • Doggy day care (1-2 dogs only) • Boarding (1 dog at a time, up to 80 lbs) As a stay-at-home dog mom living on a seasonal campground, pet care is built into my daily life. I’m available most days for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and doggy day care. Your pup will enjoy outdoor time, structure, and plenty of attention alongside my sweet and well-trained dog, Delilah. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure, and structured environment at our spacious, private corner campsite with no immediate neighbors — ideal for dogs who need peace, space, and freedom to relax. The location also allows for easy, stress-free drop-off and pick-up. I have secure tie-outs, crates, and leashes to meet each dog’s unique needs. Whether your pup enjoys structured walks, lounging in the shade, or sniffing around camp, I offer a safe, enriching experience with plenty of mental stimulation. Dogs are never left unattended, and their boundaries are always respected. My setup is flexible and tailored to your dog’s temperament, energy level, and comfort with others. Whether we’re resting or exploring, your dog will be treated like one of my own.


“Lynsey was very friendly and responded to messages quickly. It was good to know she has so much training and experience w/ animals. I recommend to anybody to have lynsey care for your dog.”


“Kristina and Jordan took such amazing care of my pup while I was away. Kristina and Jordan treated her with so much love, and sent many pictures and videos during the stay. I’m definitely an anxious pet parent, but their care actually allowed me to relax knowing that she was in the best hands possible and having a great little vacation of her own. I couldn’t recommend them more. Thank you guys so much!”


About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and began attending dog training sessions with my parents when I was just six years old. From age 6 to 16, I learned more than just commands—I learned how to connect with dogs, understand their behavior, and earn their trust. My mom always believed it was important to understand how dogs think, and that’s shaped how I care for animals today. Now, I share my home with Gracie, my sweet golden retriever, and two lovable female cats. Living with both dogs and cats has taught me how to balance different personalities and routines, and I love every minute of it. Over the years, I’ve dog-sat for friends and truly enjoy caring for all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pup is playful, shy, high-energy, or a senior in need of some extra TLC, I’ll be there with patience, respect, and lots of love. I genuinely believe dogs are better than people—so your pet will be treated like family while you're away. I'm comfortable with all breeds, offer dog walking and overnight stays, and will keep you updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. During the week, I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, but I’m completely open on weekends and available on all major holidays. Whether you’re headed out of town or just need someone to stop in and give your pup a walk or cuddle, I’ve got you covered. I have a fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play, but I never leave any dog unattended outside—supervision is always a must, even in a secure space. I believe in providing a safe, structured, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I share my home with my golden retriever, Gracie, who is super friendly and loves making new doggy friends. I also have two sweet female cats. All of my pets are spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, and used to sharing their space calmly and respectfully. Whether your dog is staying for a visit or just dropping by for playtime, you can feel confident knowing they’ll be safe, supervised, and treated like part of the family.
