“Courtney was communicative, responsive, and easy to work with from start to finish. Mazi enjoyed his stay, and I appreciated the updates and care. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for more than 20 years, and spending time with animals has always been one of my favorite things. Over the years, I've cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from playful Chihuahuas and energetic puppies to gentle Huskies, senior pets, and independent cats. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give each pet. I take the time to get to know their unique personality, routines, and preferences so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and reassuring presence nearby, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I'm experienced with senior pets who need extra patience and care, including administering medications and following special routines. I'm also comfortable with puppies who are still learning and need consistency, supervision, and lots of positive reinforcement. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to feel connected when you're away from your furry family member. That's why I provide regular updates, photos, and quick communication so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own.

My fully fenced backyard offers plenty of space for supervised outdoor play, fresh air, and potty breaks, with both grass and shaded areas to keep pets comfortable.

Because I work from home full-time, pets are rarely left alone and receive plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I maintain each pet's normal feeding, walking, and sleeping schedule as closely as possible to help reduce stress and make their stay feel familiar. Safety is always my top priority, and I take the time to learn each pet's needs, preferences, and any special instructions before their stay. In Your Home: When caring for your pet in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine consistent and their environment stress-free. I follow all feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and household guidelines to ensure your pet receives the same level of care they're accustomed to. I understand that trust is essential when welcoming someone into your home, so I treat every home with the utmost respect and care. I'll keep you updated with photos, messages, and regular check-ins so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, daycare, or overnight house sitting, I strive to provide dependable care and lots of love while you're away.
“Susan watched our two Huskies for several doggie day care visits. She and her husband were so friendly and easy going, we immediately felt at ease leaving our furbabies with them. You can tell that they really enjoy having dogs around. Our dogs got walks, playtime, and we got plenty of pics/updates. I would highly recommend Susan. She will be one of our first choices when looking for care again.”

“Nicole and Rose did a great job caring for Keeko! They took such good care of him and he was so happy hanging out with them. Would definitely recommend them to care for your pups!”

“We needed someone to watch our 7 year old German Shepherd during the day while I went off and played old man baseball. Kelly turned out to be perfect. Very flexible and didn’t require any of these meet and greets a number of Rover sitters want. Being from out of town that never works. She sent pictures and videos four the four days we used her. Can’t really say much more she seemed to like him and he came back a tired pup. Good Job!!!”

About: I grew up always having and taking care of our dogs in our home. Now as a mother of three, I've also had the privilege of caring for our Boston Terrier Coco of 8 years (who crossed the rainbow bridge last year) and Charlie, our Goldendoodle of almost two years. Our pets are truly a part of our family and any dog that comes to our home gets treated as an extended family member. My ten-year-old son inherited my love for animals. He loves taking care of dogs and has dreamed of having a dog care/boarding business so will be helping take care of our 4-legged friends. We have experience administering meds. Having trained puppies, we're also experienced with crate/potty training and teaching basic commands. Pet care is already a part of our daily life- our doodle comes to our bed and wakes us up for his first potty break every morning and that starts our morning routine. My husband and I work from home, so we are extremely flexible with our schedules. Very adaptable to any bathroom/play/walking schedules your pets may have. We have a large fenced yard with lots of fluffy grass for dogs to run around and play in. We love to go on family walks along the lake in the evenings.
“Jim&Ivy took exceptional care of our Goldendoodle Bingo. Jim gave regular updates with photos how Bingo was doing . And was very flexible dropping off and picking up Bingo. Jim and Ivy took Bingo for walks and played with him. I highly recommended Jim and Ivy for your pets Boarding and Daycare needs.”
Optimist Park Se dog parents share their Rover experiences
Miss Sydney and her family are AMAZING!! They were so kind to jump in and help us with our boy with only a couple days notice and we have been so impressed with the care Coop received! Would highly recommend her to anyone who wants their pups to have top notch love and attention while they’re gone. We just can’t say enough good things and Coop wants to go back to see them again soon!

LoriAnn is the absolute best! She was very kind with her time in meeting me extremely early in the morning since I have a crazy schedule! She was incredibly accommodating. She and her family took extra special tender care of my tiny pup. The children ran with the puppy until he was so exhausted .. he passed out and had big wonderful naps. LoriAnn took Booker Bleu for perfect strolls in the grassy areas around her house and kept a close eye on BB. I just can’t recommend her enough! She’s very kind and very loving with animals!! Five stars all the way!!! Thank you LoriAnn 🫶 ~ Kary & BB 🐶

Alex was awesome and did an amazing job looking after our Chippy! She constantly sent photos and updates and put our minds at ease since we are not used to leaving Chippy somewhere else. We’re very grateful and happy we found Alex- we would love to have him going more and playing with the rest of the pack!

Overall went very well , thank you for being patient with arlo as he can be very shy and nervous at first ! I appreciated the photo and video , wouldn’t have minded more :) he came home very tired so im sure he had so much fun in the spacious backyard ! He did leave a toy and food bowel I’m sure he wanted an excuse to be back LOL thanks so much for keeping him throughout my long work hours if you’d have him again id definitely rebook .

Paige was incredible with my anxious, high-energy little guy. He’s been fearful of grass, but she encouraged him and he had his very first brave yard adventure! Seeing the happy photos she sent meant everything. He’s also very cuddly, and she gave him all the snuggles he needed. I felt completely at ease the whole time. He was safe, loved, and so well cared for. Paige has a beautiful home, a beautiful yard and is very communicative. Highly recommend!

Lily seemed to have lots of fun in Daejahs beautiful yard! And also enjoyed lots of comfy couch cuddles. I was not worried at all while Lily was in her care. Sent lots of cute pictures and videos of Lily chasing birds outside too! She was also very flexible with pick up times since my husbands job is very unpredictable. We appreciated the flexibility. Would definitely book again!

We can’t even leave enough stars to say how amazing Ashley was!! We were so lucky to find her and so grateful she was willing to jump in at the last second for us! She is super sweet and you can tell just how much she loves all pups. Her communication was beyond excellent and Cooper told us he wants to go visit her and his new fur friends again very soon! We are so excited to have someone nearby that we can completely trust with our kiddo in the future. If you’re looking don’t hesitate - book her before anyone else does!

This was my first time leaving Aloy with anyone else, ever(!!!) and Micaela made it such a easy and simple process. :) I got tons of pictures throughout the day to let me know she was okay. Aloy loved her stay there and even made a friend. I'll definitely use her service again!

Richard was the perfect sitter for my little boy. The backyard setup is perfect for playtime, and his dogs are lovely. I’ve never put Kai in daycare before, but Richard was an amazing host. We felt at ease from the start, and he sent me pictures throughout the day to show how much fun and well looked after Kai was. I couldn’t have asked for a better first sit. Highly recommended!
