“Francis and her family took such great care of our rambunctious puppy, Esmé. They sent me photos and videos of Esmé playing with the other dogs in their house and fenced yard. I could tell that Esmé was receiving lots of love and attention as well as care and exercise! Thank you, Francis and family, for creating a wonderful environment for a puppy's first stay away from home.”
“Our 2 dogs were with Suzanne and her family for two days. she was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. I appreciated the daily updates she sent and felt assured our pups were well cared for. I liked that they could be outdoors in the fenced in yard or inside lounging around depending on what they each wanted to do. Thank you Suzanne.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for Piper’s overnight stay with a sitter! Karen did a fantastic job keeping us updated throughout the five days, sending daily photos and messages that gave us peace of mind. It was clear that Piper was well taken care of, happy, and even got to enjoy many trips to the park! Knowing she was in such great hands made our time away so much easier. We highly recommend Karen and would absolutely book with her again in the future!”
“This is my first time using Rover (I have used large boarding kennels for years), and I could not be happier with the care provided by Elizabeth. She sent daily photos and sometimes videos of my dog - who was obviously happy and having a great time. Liz has a competent, loving way with animals and a lot of knowledge on how to care for them. For example, Liz found and removed a tic I had not noticed and was not aware of. I recommend Liz without reservation.”
“Coy was fabulous! He came and picked our honey girl up, who can be very theatrical lol. He had treats ready and was very knowlegable about gaining her trust and was able to provide us with tools to help calm her anxiety. He had honey out running around with other dogs, playing non stop, and sent us videos of her. She was tuckered out when we got her back! We will only be booking with coy!”
“Elizabeth and her family were wonderful with Sully! He received the best care with them. Elizabeth also sent lots of photo updates and kept us appraised of how he was doing while we were away. We would absolutely have Sully stay with Elizabeth again!”
“Jessica is THE BEST! She took such good care of our pup and was super understanding when we were late getting back to pick her up. We cannot wait for Margot to go and stay with them again.”
“Madison was great! She was very communicative, flexible, and fair. I felt comfortable leaving my pup with her (he told me she gave him lots of pets and liked her dog too 😃). I will book with her again in the future!”
About: I have always enjoyed and loved being around animals. I have a natural ability to nurture all dogs with different types of disabilities and anxieties. I have experience with senior dogs and dogs who have had ACL surgery. I am retired so I will be very flexible and even able to do last minute caring. I also love to walk dogs on a daily basis. I will offer a safe and caring environment as well as devoting my full attention to your pet no matter what their needs may be.
About: Growing up on a ranch in Texas, I've had experience with many types of dogs - large and small! I also have a background in Animal Science and worked as a Coordinator for the Texas A&M Veterinary Science Center while in college. I currently own the sweetest (and most spoiled) Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Alfie. I'd love to serve you and your sweet pup! I'm online grad student studying clinical mental health counseling, so I'm home 99% of the time! I am free and flexible to work with your schedule. I will cater to your pups needs and your preferences. Whether that's making sure your dog has his proper medication or prioritizing lots of outdoor play time, I'm happy to provide the services you need!
About: I’ve had dogs for 30+ years and now I’m retired with no dogs so have room for yours. I am gentle and playful as well as responsible and active. I do not take cats, sorry. I watch our daughter’s dog on occasion but would not watch him at the same time. I had a lovely chihuahua for 16 years, and a husky, as well as a fluffy white mixed pup, all healthy and happy and had their senior years with us as well. I’m retired and home all day doing eBay and other hobbies. I also take daily walks and would take your dog out often as well. I have a large fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood. I am also home a lot and allow the small dogs to jump up in my lap and furniture.
“Chelsea did a great job with Pepe. She's sensitive to his needs and let him settle in at his own pace. By the end of the stay he had warmed up to her dog Piper. It was such a relief to see that they got along well with each other. Chelsea has a warm, easy going nature that put Pepe at ease and I will certainly be using her again.”
“We highly recommend using Stacey. Bandit stayed with her over the holiday weekend. He had a blast. We were very comfortable with her fenced in back yard. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos. We look forward to using Stacy again.”
