“Theresa was a great sitter. This was first time leaving my pup with anyone outside of family. She made me feel very comfortable leaving Sophie in her care. Seeing the multiple return clients was key to my choice. She was very professional and caring. Thank you for taking great care of my baby girl.”

“My fur baby is very clingy and I was initially hesitant after a negative experience at a local boarding business. However, she adapted well to Chyna and I plan to use her services in the future.”

“Laura was great. I was nervous about leaving Bella and she assured me she would be fine. Bella warmed right up and they had a great first day. I received pictures and videos of how Bella was doing throughout the day.”

“Kerri and her family were amazing. My pups have never been to someones house for daycare. She took them right in and made us and them feel right at home. The pups were pooped and crashed when we got back to our hotel room. We knew they had a good day playing. Wish i could give more than 5 stars!!”

“Brittany was Ahhhmazing! You might call her a dog whisperer. Our 4 dogs enjoyed staying with her for the day and I can tell they had a ton of fun b/c they slept hard that night and were lazzzy babies the next day! Totally will book with Brittany again!”

“My pup EeVee loved her walkie at the dog park on her first day care & making new friends at Maria's house. Maria's fur babies are welcoming & gentle. She updated me with EeVee's photos during the walk. Maria also shared with me good advice on how to train dogs & keep them healthy. It was EeVee's very first time going to a day care so I let EeVee try for 2 hours & she seemed comfortable under Maria's care. I also felt safe leaving EeVee at Maria's. Thank you!”

“Sammy is awesome! She took care of my small pup wonderfully. We picked our dog late due to some unexpected delay at Rocky Mountain, but Sammy kindly understood us. Thank you! Also Ohsam loved playing with Sammy's pup!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and taken care of them in full for my family, friends and neighbors. I love four legged furry friends; giving them walks, playing with them and making them feel comfortable. I have always adopted rescue dogs so have a good sense of how to take care of apprehensive dogs, as well as hyperactive or dogs that need more attention and a patient trainer. I have amateur experience training dogs and have learned tips from my sister who is an experienced dog trainer and dog walker. I have chickens at home and have cared for furry, scaled and feathered friends in the past, I love them all. I am patient and loving when it comes to taking care of animals and hope you will consider me to take care of your best friend(s)! My partner and I have recently lost our best furry friend and I would love a reason to get outside more often with my favorite animal (dogs!) or any animal at all. I currently work full time but am off on Sundays/Mondays as well as evenings. My job allows me to leave midday as needed. If I can plan ahead with a care schedule, I have no issue fitting walks/care as needed. I personally have always had free range dogs, but have experience with free ranging as well as crated dogs. I am comfortable working with contained pets as well; chickens, other birds, snakes, tarantulas etc.

“Highly recommend Brandon! He was quick to respond and Django said he was really cool to hang out with 😃. Took him for a long walk and sent me a picture of him, too. We will absolutely contact Brandon for future visits.”

About: I have two rescue dogs. Their personalities are opposite as night and day. One is very energetic and the other is a couch potato! Whether you have a high energy pup or calm one, your dog will find a friend here. My energetic pup knows when to stop playing if it’s not reciprocated in the first 15 minutes. I have a giant playpen and crate for dogs who need their alone time or is required by the parents. Those doors are always open. No need to bring yours. I separate all dogs while eating and let them out when they’re done. We mostly stay in the living room watching tv or outside. I have grown up with labs, chihuahuas and pit bulls. I have been dog/cat sitting for years for family and friends. I am fairly new to Rover. My fur family enjoys hiking and going to the park. We walk the neighborhood for 2 hrs a day. I am comfortable giving medicine. My dogs are my children and I take care of other animals like their mine. I worked as a manager for large department stores so I am very dependable and responsible. Thank you for your interest in me! I am currently working part time. My job is flexible. However, if you’ve booked me less than 48 hrs, we will have to agree on a good time for a drop off. I am able to be present with my animals majority of the day. If you request to board, make sure you bring everything your dog needs for a successful stay. Appropriate size collars/harness, training pads, etc. If your dog is an escape artist or doesn’t walk on a leash well, disclose that to me. So I can prepare myself before each walk and not be caught off guard. I also provide a quiet relaxing space for dogs. If your dog barks excessively and not the casual barking here and there, I would not be able to babysit them. Feel free to reach out to me at any time. I will do the same if there’s a question I’m not sure of.

“Phillip was amazing ! I had a last minute appt and he was very accommodating. Hutch tan right over and bonded with Phillip. He sent lots of pictures and I felt good knowing Hutch was safe and sound while I worked to show boats to my client. I would absolutely recommend Phillip and use him again!”

About: I’ve grown up with pets and have been taking care of other families animals for most of my life. After losing my dog last year taking care of other animals has helped my tremendously. Looking to do this as a full time job!

“Cheyanne is phenomenal. She is so responsive and accommodating. Harold destroys squeaky toys so she took the time to sort through and hide the troublesome toys. I got lots of photos and updates and one happy pup at the end of his daycare. Definitely coming back!!”

About: As long as I can remember, I have had a pet or helped care for others' pets. I have worked as a foster pet parent for two nonprofits. I currently work weekdays with a very flexible schedule. My partner is finishing school with online classes and is home throughout the day most days. Each morning the first thing we do is check on our pets and pets in our care. I love starting their day with exercise if they're up for it with fetch, chase, or a walk. My dog is fed twice a day and kept in a separate area from our rescue cat who mostly stays in my daughters room. I am exceptionally skilled at socializing animals and helping them stay comfortable, which can mean sectioning off areas of the home for different pet friends if needed. If it's a cat you need watched, I love getting cats feeling comfortable by being patient and using toys or treats that you approve of to help bring out their inner kitten. I have a fenced yard for dogs to use, including toys, dirt to dig in with no guilt, and an extra large water dish. We never lock dogs outside and they have easy access back inside whenever they want. I collect leashes for long walks and love the kind of bonding I can get with a one on one walk. If your pet needs extra exercise, I have you covered! The highlight of my day is walking my dogs or dogs in my care. I work together with my partner to make sure someone is always home with pets. My schedule changes, but I will only show availability for boarding if someone will be home at all times. We like dogs to feel at home, so we set up the house and yard to be safe for pets. I am mostly doing reading or computer work at home, and many guest dogs simply snuggle on my lap or next to me while I work, being well worn out from walks or yard time. I love walking dogs but I know some dogs prefer off leash yard time. I really try to get to know your pets and what makes them happiest.
