“My dog Rylee had a great two nights with Tracy. Loves having other dogs to play with. She also loves the home environment much better than a boarding facility. Tracy will be my first choice anytime I need boarding for my pup.”

“Susan and her husband were great pet sitters. Seth loved them and their property. She kept in contact with us for the time she had Seth with texts and pictures. I will definitely use her again.”
About: I recently lost my soul dog, Wilson. He was a 14 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. He is in the picture with me. I have a second Cavalier named Auggie. I worked with Wilson to become a certified therapy dog. He retired when he was 10. When he was around 9 he became deaf. Therefore, I have years of experience with a deaf dog. I have experience with dogs from puppy through old age. My grown children also have dogs. I have included some of those dogs in the pictures. We have a bulldog, a golden retriever, a boxer, a lab, and several mixed breed rescues in our family! I have decided to offer my services on Rover to help fill a void after losing my beloved Wilson. I look forward to loving your dog as my own! I work full-time but am home on weekends and have extended breaks in my work when I am home. My home is set up for animals but I am also willing to provide services in your home. For care in my home, I have a large yard in a park-like setting. My house is set up for pets with limited carpet, doggie steps to lay on a comfy couch, windows to watch squirrels and keep an eye on the mailman. I am also available to love your pets in your home.
“I did a last minute booking. From the time I requested Kathleen has been so responsive. She did everything to make me feel comfortable as this was my first experience with a pet sitter. She sent plenty of pictures and videos and my doggy son has such a great time.”
“Pepper had a blast!!! She got to hang with some feathered friends. Now we can plan our next trip knowing we can leave her for a few days and she will have fun memories as well. Thanks so much for fitting us in last minute.”
“My two cats spent a long weekend here and it's the most comfortable I've ever been with leaving them somewhere. They seemed to have a good time from the updates and pictures I got. Would highly recommend Alaina to anybody!”
“Rachel was so great with Maddie. She got us in last minute for a booking and sent a couple pictures. Maddie seemed to have a blast will definitely book with her again!”
“Reise was kind, considerate, and communicative. She took great care of Cedar and was able to fit us in on somewhat short notice. She shared numerous pictures and feedback during Cedar's stay. We feel fortunate we found Reise!”
“Shannon was AWESOME with Murph. She took the time to send pictures and updates. Most importantly she kept up on his meds and genuinely cares. Murph loved hanging out with her and with us not having to worry, he will be returning soon!”
“We are absolutely thrilled with the care Audrey provided for our beloved Bruno during our family trip! She went above and beyond to ensure our furry friend was happy, healthy, and well-loved. *Thank you, Audrey!* Your love and dedication to animals are truly special. We can't wait to work with you again in the future. Bruno is one lucky pup to have you as his sitter!”
“Francesca was absolutely amazing with our pitty! She sent pictures and kept communication when needed. I felt extremely confident and comfortable leaving my dog with her. It made our vacation that much more enjoyable knowing Maverick was well taken care of. We will definitely be using her again! 5 stars- Highly recommend!”
