“I would highly recommend Wendy. My little Silky Louie is very nervous and skittish around strangers. He and my Chihuahua Baby enjoyed playing in the large spacious backyard and had fun playing with her two dogs. She sent me pictures of the dogs and they both snuggled right up in bed. It was such a relief leaving them, knowing they were in good hands. They got lots of love and attention and were well care for. I will definitely be booking again with Wendy on my next vacation.”


About: Eric has been working with dogs since 2016, with over 5 years of professional experience in boarding, daycare, pet medication, and training. Throughout his career, he’s handled dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. His training journey began nearly a decade ago and continues to this day. From basic obedience to behavioral work, Eric brings a calm, confident presence that dogs naturally respond to. His background required constant awareness of canine body language, preventing conflicts before they happen, identifying signs of illness, and maintaining a safe, enriching environment. Morgan brings a lifetime of hands-on experience with animals, especially horses. Her work with horses has given her an exceptional sensitivity to animal behavior, expression, and energy — a skill that transfers seamlessly to dogs. She continues to ride and care for horses, and her gentle, observant nature helps even the most nervous pets feel at ease. *DAY-CARE CLIENTS PLEASE READ. Generally only available Saturday, Sunday, & Monday for day care. Please inquire for special requests. Pet care is fully integrated into our daily lives. I (Eric) work from home on Mondays and Tuesdays, so the dogs have consistent company and supervision during those days. The rest of the week, before heading out, I care for dogs first thing in the morning—feeding, potty breaks, and any necessary training or structured time. I'm always home by around 4:30 in the afternoon to resume care, walks, playtime, and more. Morgan is home most mornings until about 9 or 10 during the week and is often able to return home quickly if needed. Between the two of us, there’s rarely a long stretch without someone here. While we’re both away, dogs are safely kenneled to ensure they stay secure and avoid getting into anything that could harm them. This routine keeps their day consistent, calm, and structured—something we find dogs thrive on. Our schedule gives us ample time to care for, engage, and provide training for each dog we welcome into our home. We care for dogs like they’re part of the family—with structure, play, and lots of love. Dogs are fed morning and evening, go out for regular potty breaks, and enjoy a mix of activities based on their energy level. High-energy pups can enjoy fetch (we’ve got a great hill and a long leash for it!), tug, or puzzle games for mental stimulation, while our daily walks help keep everyone balanced. When we’re briefly away, dogs are kenneled for safety. We love all breeds and personalities and tailor care to each dog’s needs.

“Megan is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my pup while I was away, and I could tell he was happy and comfortable the whole time. She kept me updated with pictures and little check-ins, which made me feel so at ease. It’s clear she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. I’ll definitely be booking with her again”


“Courtney was wonderful! This was my first time using Rover and I def will be using Courtney in the future. She sent daily pics of my doggo and he looked so happy :) my boy can be misunderstood and high energy at some times but she made my sweet boy at home. Courtney was also ver accommodating and understanding when I unfortunately was unable to make pick up. Wonderful experience overall!!!”


“Adolfo is truly a “dog person” - the kind of person you’d want to go to for dog advice! He sent us regular pics and videos of our 2 month old puppy and even gave her a bath. He is truly a gem and we will use him again the next time we travel.”


“Pete & Amy were literally the best! I think the only thing that could be comparable to how great they were, would be their amazing yard! My 3 fur babies got to spend the weekend with Pete & Amy and I’m not entirely sure they ever wanted to come home! Amy sent me so many pictures and updates during their stay which made me feel so much better and comfortable knowing they were being so well taken care of. We will definitely be using Amy for any and all doggy sitting needs! Couldn’t recommend them enough!”


“Na and Gary are amazing! Marlon had the best time running around the back yard and hanging out with them. Will absolutely use them again to watch my guy! Thank you Na and Gary.”


“My husband and I went out of town for 3 weeks and we were so glad we found someone to watch our dog, Emma, for the whole length of time. She had a lot of fun playing with Yoshi, Jennifer's dog, as well as the other dogs that came and visited. She had lots of room to play outside and Jennifer even helped work with Emma on her training so that she could practice the commands she was learning. She administered meds for Emma for a few days and even kept Emma a day longer than planned when we had a scheduling conflict. We would recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for place to board their dog! ”


“We are SO grateful that we found Bhairavi on Rover! Her and her family took amazing care of our dog, Frank. We received the perfect amount of updates during his stay and it was so clear he was well taken care of and so loved on. We couldn’t recommend her more and she will be the first person we contact for help with Frank moving forward!”


“Amelia was great with our two dogs Lily and Sophie. She came to our rescue on a short notice and was very responsive to our messages. We could tell she loved dogs from the moment we met her. We felt very comfortable leaving our dogs with her and appreciated frequent updates with pictures. We highly recommend Amelia and will definitely re-book in the future.”


“This was the first time leaving our dog with Kayla. As every dog owner knows, it’s very hard to leave your dog with someone new. However, Kayla was wonderful from the beginning! She was friendly, caring, and responsible and reached out daily with pictures of Augie on walks and snuggling. I would have no reservations about leaving our fur baby with Kayla again and would highly recommend Kayla and her friendly dog, Leo!”


“Like last time, Rosie was well taken care of and treated like their own dog. They were also very flexible with my changing travel plans. Definitely use again, thanks B&L!”


About: I’ve always had dogs big and small and love taking them on walks!! I’ve always been an animal person and I love to be active!! I’m a college student and athlete, so I would have to walk in the morning or the evening! I am almost always free on weekends though. I can walk your pet wherever needed! I live in an apartment complex which is dog friendly so I can take them on walks in my neighborhood or I can walk them in yours!

“Ben has watched our 12 lb rescue chihuahua mix 3 times now, and we already have the 4th scheduled. His communication is great, he send photos throughout the stay, and Lana seems to love it there.”



“Judith is so responsive and attentive! This was our first time leaving our precious cargo with someone other than her grandma while we left town for a few days, but knowing that she was with Judith and being loved on was reassuring. I would highly recommend Judith for all pet sitting needs!”


“Jennifer was great! She took great care of our pup and even helped us out when we missed our flight. Would highly recommend and will be using her again.”


“Mary did a great job with Hudson! He is shy at first but warmed up to her really nicely! She is always very responsive and accommodating. Will be contacting Mary in the future when we need more help with him!”


“Excellent experience all around! Sarah & her family took great care of our dog. She provided great pictures and updates during our trip. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her. Highly recommend!”


“Madeline was great! Super flexible and responsive. Sent photo updates and kept me in the loop with how my Stevie girl was doing throughout her stay. Will definitely look to rebook with Madeline!”


“Frudo had a fun time staying at Misty’s place. In all the pictures he looked happy and excited and bonded really well with Appa. Frudo is just looking forward to his next vacation at Misty’s.”

“Sometimes taking a vacation is stressful when you have pets. That is no longer a worry since we had Eric take care of Maggie while we were on our last vacation.

“My daughter has been surrounded by animals her entire life — not just dogs and cats, but also rabbits, chickens, ferrets, and even turkeys. Caring for pets is second nature to her. She’s patient, dependable, and truly loves giving animals the attention they need, whether that’s a long walk, playtime, or simply quiet company. She has always been the go-to person for family and friends when they need someone trustworthy to care for their pets. I can confidently say any pet in her care will be safe, loved, and treated like family.”
