Cooper enjoyed his stay at Cynthia’s place. Couldn’t have asked for a better place for our dog. Cynthia was flexible and communicated with us about Cooper during his stay. We have found a home away from home for Cooper and will book again!

Katrina and Drew were amazing with our Poppy. It's the first time we have picked her up and she was hesitant to jump in the car to go home. We know she was well-loved and in good hands with them :)

Roo had such a great time at Cheyenne's house. It was like he went to doggy camp. Cheyenne and her family were wonderful. She was so great about letting me know how his first time went. Our dog gets a little anxious because he's a rescue but I think he was comfortable and adjusted and loved the other animals. We'do definitely send him back to Cheyenne. Thank you so much.

Becky was amazing! My beloved ❤️ Cinder & I had been traveling since Christmas & moved back to the area for my job & school. Becky helped me out in a jam while I was waiting for my rental to open. She treated Cinder as one of her family - Gave her TLC, hugs, a bath & when the polar vortex hit she let me add a few more days because of the weather. Not everyone would do that. Highly recommend!

Shelby was terrific with my dog. It was her first time away from us in a long time. Shelby sent lots of pics and took her on lots of trail walks, which she loves. She seemed very happy and we will definitely hire Shelby again to take care of our dog when we are away!

About: My husband and I bring a lifetime of dog experience to every pup we care for. We both grew up in dog‑loving homes, and for the past 8 years we’ve been raising our own family dog from puppyhood into adulthood. That hands‑on experience has taught us everything from crate and potty training to maintaining consistent routines, managing energy levels, and providing calm, loving structure. What sets us apart is the balance of experience, patience, and true family-style care. We understand how to work with dogs at every stage — energetic puppies who need guidance and structure, adult dogs who thrive on routine and play, and senior dogs who need slower walks, gentle support, and extra comfort. We’re attentive, safety‑focused, and always tuned in to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Your dog will be welcomed into a warm, stable home where they get plenty of exercise, affection, and communication. We treat every pet as if they’re part of our own family, and we make sure you always feel informed and confident while they’re with us. My husband and I both work full time, but we still have great coverage for pet care throughout the week. My husband works from home on Mondays and Fridays, which allows for frequent walks, breaks, and plenty of attention during the day. My schedule is 7:00am–3:00pm, so I'm usually home earlier in the afternoon, and my husband works 8:00am–5:00pm. We provide a safe, calm, and welcoming home environment for every pup we host. Our fully fenced backyard is perfect for supervised outdoor play, and our friendly 8‑year‑old golden retriever loves having company and helps new dogs feel comfortable right away. Inside, dogs have plenty of space to relax and be part of our daily routine. We always supervise outdoor time, keep our home secure, and make sure each dog gets the right balance of attention, structure, and comfort. Your pup will be cared for like family and will feel right at home with us.

Ann was amazing. She took care of our senior dog with some medical needs and aging and gave Louise exactly what she needed with such positive kindness. We got pictures and videos and felt like our sweet little old lady dog was truly in the best care during our trip. I will definitely use Ann again because she was incredible.

Teddy was well loved while he was at their house. Miya, the beautiful furry friend, let Teddy into her home, shared her bed, walked with Teddy (many times a day) and even shared her humans!💕 With the continuous conversations and photos with Carrie, I knew how Teddy responded to a new home and how welcomed he felt in the 6 night stay. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone that needed their high energy, medium anxiety, and well loved dog taken care of for a few hours or a few days. Did I mention our English Setter likes a human to be next to him while he eats??? Thanks Mark, Carrie and Miya!

We just moved from Rochester and did a lot of digging to find the right Rover sitter and we’re so happy we found Evelyn and her partner! They were incredibly caring, accommodated Louie’s normal schedule, while also making sure Louie felt right at home. Communication was excellent as we received thoughtful updates and pictures that made us feel at ease while we were away. Until next time!

Such a wonderful ❤️ dog play experience for our one year old pup, Lola. She had a gentle play companion and was walked regularly. Lola was a very happy and tired girl when we picked her up. Thank you Katie and Rachel!
