Louie had his first time day daycare with Mary. There were a few other dogs there that Louie seemed to be very happy with. Mary is super kind and friendly and I can tell her whole family cares for all of these dogs in their home. Having him here in a home is so much better for him than some of the other larger doggy daycare‘s I’ve been to in the past. He seemed very relaxed and happy when I picked him up.

I've had my dog Lana in doggy daycare now for a few days. So far Lana is loving it. She comes home tired and happy! There's already an improvement in her socialization skills, especially when I walk her. She isn't as agitated when a dog walks near us and is calm. Love Patti! She provides updates and pictures and you can tell she knows dogs. I will keep taking Lana to Patti's doggy daycare!!

Sue has been watching our pup Archie for a while with her daughter and does an amazing job. She treats him like her own giving us piece of mind that our pup is safe and happy while we are at work. We also appreciate the socialization he’s gotten meeting some other pups while at day care. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sue to anyone!

So thankful for Prithvi and her husband! They were so wonderful and patient with our puppy who still has a lot of energy and is shy around new people. I feel so comfortable with her in their care, and they sent lots of photos and videos. Their dog also showed my dog the ropes, and was great for her!

About: My journey with Rover began approximately 8 years ago and it's been a delight to meet and care for furry babies when their parents were in need of a responisible and trusted caretaker. At that time, my Lola, was just as excited to befriend and play with pals. As my Lola grew older, she developed medical issues and my attention and all the time I could give,was directed only towards her. Therefore, I took a pause to spend time with her and give her all I could. Her time, to join the rest of angel friends, came on December 17th, 2025. I came back to Rover simply because I miss the company of the most pure soul and my best friend of 13 years. I know how important it is to leave your pet in good care, cater to your best friend just as your own family and hope to meet them soon.

I was very nervous about leaving my over-anxious, high-maintenance rescue baby with someone for the very first time, but Marta was amazing. She made both me and him feel at ease and provided a great day-time stay! Already booking her overnight for our vacation in January. Thank you!!

I treat every dog like my own—with patience, love, and lots of tail-wagging fun. Whether your pup needs a daily walk or a cozy home while you’re away, you can count on me for safe, personalized care. I’m here to give your furry friend the attention and care they deserve. Safety, comfort, and tail wags guaranteed! I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pup!

Whether your dog needs a midday walk or a cozy place to stay while you’re away, I’ve got you covered with lots of attention, playtime, and love. I live in a quiet cul-de-sac, perfect for calm walks. Dogs are always kept on-leash outside, and I take them to fenced-in parks for safe playtime. At home, they get a clean, cozy space with lots of care and supervision.

About: I love animals. I have loved, played with, nursed, and fed any kind of dog you an imagine. Im also comfortable around cats considering they tend be independent and communicative in their own way. I genuinely enjoy the process of training and nurturing animals. I have experience caring for newborn puppies and dogs with health issues as well as making natural and organic meals for dietary needs. I believe patience , affection, and repetition are the recipe to connecting with our all of our furry friends. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any additional questions. I work from home so pet care wouldn’t disrupt my routine at all. And I would be able to tend to a dog with special needs. I have a fenced in yard and personal fenced in patio off of my kitchen. It allows your buddy to get some fresh air in between walks and be secure

About: Dogs have always been an important part of my life. In addition to owning dogs, I have cared for pets for family, friends, and neighbors over the years. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I strive to provide the love, attention, exercise, and comfort they deserve while their families are away. My goal is to help pets feel happy, secure, and cared for, while giving their owners confidence and peace of mind. As a retiree, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. My days are typically spent staying active, running errands, enjoying hobbies, and spending time outdoors, which makes it easy to incorporate dog walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and companionship into my routine. Because I am not tied to a traditional work schedule, I can accommodate a variety of walking times and provide reliable, consistent care throughout the day. I enjoy being around animals and have the availability to ensure pets receive the exercise, attention, and affection they need while their owners are at work or away from home. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their family is away. I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special care needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and companionship, while also ensuring they have fresh water and a clean environment. I respect my clients' homes by keeping everything tidy and secure and providing regular updates so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, healthy, and well cared for in the comfort of their own home.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. I’ve also taken care of senior dogs, so I know how to handle their special care. I’m very experienced in feeding and grooming, and I love the companionship it brings to a family! I am a stay at home mom, and my husband works from home, so there’s always someone there to watch and play with your fur baby! We always have lots of time for walking and playing throughout the day. I have an extremely safe neighborhood with a little park about a 3 minute walk away, two kids that love playing with dogs, (15 and 8) and an extremely friendly mini goldendoodle!

Our stay with Courtney was SOO great!! My dog was really anxious at first as this is her first time in daycare with a new person, but by the second day Belle wasn’t nervous at all. By the end out our daycare session she didn’t mind leaving me at all. I could tell she was getting all the love while she was there and enjoyed being there! Courtney was great, she was super helpful and accommodating with start and end times and let me know if she had any concerns or issues with belle during her stay. Her little one Pucca was respectful that Belle wasn’t very playful l, though I’m sure she was disappointed! I would definitely recommend and rebook with Courtney! Thank you!!
