“We brought our Falco for daycare with Misael and we were so happy with the service!! Misael was super responsive and Falco seemed very happy to be there. Misael sent pictures and updates regularly. There was a nice yard and Falco was able to roam around to his heart’s content. Falco is a big boy and Misael and his family treated Falco like their own. We will be using his service again soon for overnight boarding and feel really comfortable with them. Thanks for making us feel like Falco is safe with you!!! Highly recommend!!”



“Very welcoming host, nice big backyard, kept us updated with numerous photos. Wasn't sure our dog would line being around other dogs but it worked out well.”


“Melissa was amazing! She had our Sadie for three days of day care so we could go off and enjoy day trips with our visiting granddaughters and d.i.l. Sadie loved her and her girls, never looking back at us after that first day of drop off! Melissa sent periodic pics and updates of how our girl was doing, and was very accommodating as to drop off and pick up times. We would not hesitate to rebook with Melissa and highly recommend her for your fur babies.”


“My pup was happy with Elba. Sent pictures and videos. Gave treats. When I picked him up I could tell that he was happy and liked her. Will be using her services again.”



“Laurie is wonderful! She’s very attentive and caring with the dogs in her care - it’s obvious she’s a dog person. My dog knows when he’s going to Laurie’s house and gets so excited. When we get there, he jumps out of the car and right over to Laurie. I’m grateful for Rover and helping me find daycare so quickly with a person I can trust.”


“Super easy to communicate with. Helped us out in a pinch last minute, and was flexible with timing. Provided photos and Dodger seems to be all tuckered so he must have had fun :)”


About: I have experience of maintaining safe and clean environments for dogs within doggy daycare settings! I am comfortable with any breed and size of dog. I have experience with dog walking, redirecting behaviors, and bathing. As a dog and animal lover I have a few fur babies myself! I have a Pembroke welsh corgi puppy Finn that is friendly with all animals, a tortie cat Ginnie that also gets along with any animal-Me and my fiancée Kris just adopted the sweetest 3 year old husky Daisy, as she is in her adjusting period of our home (and us) I will have her separate from any possible boarders and withhold involvement in meet and greets. My parents have their golden retriever Bodie who lives within our home but separately! I have always had a passion for working and being with animals and would love to continue by taking care of animals in my daily routine I always make sure to be home to have enough time for my animals as they are my top priority and I would strive to do the same for yours. I am fortunate enough to always have someone home with the pups-as my fiancée Kris and parents live with me as well. ⭐️ Returning customers or new- I appreciate you putting trust into me with your pet(s). Being a pet mom myself i understand how important your fur babies mean to you. I appreciate your support and kindness and all of the kind reviews⭐️ Pets in my home co exist. Both of my dogs are crate trained and they sleep in there at night or when I am out of the house. I am comfortable having animals in my animals space or them having their own space. I have a separate area if needed for separation during feeding or for resting time. Back yard is fenced in and has plenty of space for walks and off leash play time and potty breaks (please see attached photos in profile of yard).


“Bethany was kind, considerate and understood my reluctance after a bad experience with someone who had excellent reviews. Amber did wonderful and came home relaxed and settled. It’s hard to find people to trust. I trust Bethany.”

About: I’ve had the privilege of being a dog owner since the age of 13. Dogs are a part of my life and are so healing to the soul. I’ve had years of experience in loving and taking care of these fur babies. I also have experience in dog sitting for neighbors in the past and do well with following instructions, being on time and being respectful of your dog & time. I would consider myself to be a great and responsible dog mom and would love and take care of your dog like my own. I’m a stay at home mom and have plenty of time to take care and play with your pups. I spend a lot of time at home which gives me time to care for your fur baby. I have plenty of space in my backyard for playtime and potty time and live in a beautiful neighborhood to go on walks for fresh air and exercise. My family spends a lot of time outside and so will your pup (weather permitting of course). I’m available during weekdays and weekends. My services include boarding and doggy day care. I have a backyard and beautiful deck to get plenty of playtime and sunshine. I also live right across the street from a large park that we can take trips to. I have a small and friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I will keep your dog on a leash while outside and/or can close off the deck for a more secure area.

“Enid was great! Sent me lots of pics and kept me updated and made me feel comfortable! She has a fenced in backyard and Kuna came back happy and healthy! She was very accommodating when I got stuck in traffic on the way back and I really appreciated that!!”


“Sarah was amazing, she accommodated me last minute when I had an all day training to do, and stayed with my 3 months old Toy Poodle, Cookie. She sent me pictures and offered advice as I am a new dog mom. My Cookie was wagging her little nub like crazy when I got home, and in such good spirits, I just knew she had a wonderful day with her new friend! I will definitely be reaching out to Sarah in the future for day care needs!”


“You should just see how excited and happy our Leo is when he sees her. That tells you everything. We will continue to book daycare and boarding with Dani and I would recommend you do too. Daniella”


About: I am a dog lover who has adopted three dogs over the past 10 years and also have experience taking care of senior dogs with medical needs. I have also volunteered for PARL starting in 2017. During this time, I interacted with all different breeds of dogs with different needs. As part of this position, I cleaned and prepared the housing spaces for the dogs, as well as walked and played with the animals in indoor and outdoor settings. I am a stay at home dad with two little girls so I will be available spend lots of time with your dogs. I will be able to spend lots of time with them, take them on frequent bathroom breaks, and walks if you would like! I have a finished walkout basement that is separate from the main living area with its own separate entrance where your dogs will be able to stay. I have a nice big backyard for bathroom breaks and a nice neighborhood for walks. I am also happy to sleep with your little ones if that is what they would like. I have used this setup to foster dogs through Providence Animal Rescue League.

“Culper always comes back from his stay with Haley peaceful and happy. She's great with him and we're lucky to have someone who cares for him (and snuggles with him) as much as we do! ”


“Jessica treated us with the 5 star treatment from the moment of our meet and greet! You can tell she has a knack for small dogs…and our Luna really bonded with the dog of the house…a very patient toy poodle. We even had to change our original start time and Jessica was still able to accommodate our request. We are very pleased and would recommend her highly to anyone with dog care needs! Thanks a million Jessica! Abbie & Ken ? ?”
