“Could not be happier with the love and attention my dogs received during daycare with Kelli ??? Oodles of wonderful photos were provided to capture their fun and adventure!”


“I plan on requesting daycare from Charlie again. The pick yard and dogs to play with is a plus. I'm confident that Sadie will be as well cared for as she was. Charlie was flexible when I had to change my schedule”


“Rob, Jeannie and Peanut are fantastic, they genuinely love dogs, they are extremely friendly and professional. I received lots of photos and videos of my dog boo , even got a personalized report card for boo at the end of his stay. Perfect 10/10 rating, they are one of the best sitters on this app, I am extremely lucky to have found them, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Thank you so much for taking care of boo and the extra warm/caring touch you provide, it means a lot knowing that boo will be taken care of like he is part of your family.”


“Lejune & Mike were amazing. Our puppies came home so happy and worn out from all of the playing. I was nervous about dropping them off however Lejune eased my worries! She was very thorough with her questions regarding how to care for our babies. They will definitely be going back.”


“I felt super nervous starting Daisy at yet another daycare but as soon as I met Kelly, she made me feel comfortable with leaving Daisy with her. I even woke up to a pic of my Daisy girl relaxing and comfortable as can be!”


“Tux has always been anxious when left behind, but did very well with Emily all day. She was very attentive to his needs and he got along well with her other daycare pup. She sent numerous pictures and answered my texts right away when I checked in on him. She asked permission to take him on a short ride in her car, which I granted since he loves car rides and hates being left behind. I will definitely book with her again. Thanks, Emily, for taking such great care of our boy.”


“Kristine was absolutely wonderful, my dog was in his final days and she ensured he was visible and well loved. I had to leave for a family funeral and was distraught about leaving him behind, she made his last days some of his happiest, sent a video of him being happy, called immediately when it was obvious we were down to the wire, I could not ask for a better sitter, really someone who cares!!!!!”


“Chloe is amazing with our 3 month old puppy. She and Seth are loving and incredibly accommodating- I feel completely comfortable leaving my boy with them and will be using their services in the future!!”


“So glad to have found the Rover option for daycare for Daisy! It was like a home away from home and she didn't have to be alone. Jerin sent pics of Daisy with her dog and reported the two were getting along great. Daisy came home happy and VERY tired, so I know she must have had a good time! Thanks Jerin!”


About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs/cats since a young age. I love all animals and taking care of them! Currently, I am caring for my 2 cats and leopard gecko! I recently switched shifts so I am now available all week! I am no longer able to do house sitting because I now have a baby to take care of, but if they are good with kids and cats, your pet is more than welcome to come stay with us! I do prefer having the option to crate so if issues do arise or if I need to step out, I can do so easily.

“Rosa did an excellent job taking care of my boy, she took him outside on plenty of walks, fed him the exact right amount, and sent me pictures throughout the day! I would highly recommend her to anybody who needs care for their pet.”

About: I’ve had experience with Dogs and Cats basically my entire life, but took over caring for my childhood pets as they aged! Now I’m a pittie mom x2 with my boyfriend! I’m a college student currently, and work 3 days a week on breaks, so I have a pretty open schedule to fit various availability needs! To me, our pets are our family. I see my own as children and I dote on them and love them as such. Big or small, dogs or cats. I love them all.

About: Hello! My name is Casey and I adore animals of all shapes, sizes, and breeds! I grew up with both cats and dogs, but currently just have two cats that live with me (Meeko and Gilly). They are very friendly and accepting of other animals. In the past I have worked at a dog kennel, so I have experience caring for all types of dogs and can understand their different personalities and needs. Currently, I work from home as an online ESL teacher so my schedule is very flexible, allowing me to spend lots of quality time with your pet :-) Although I live in an apartment, it's a five minute drive from a few local parks and and a ten minute drive from a nearby dog park. During their stay, I will make sure your dog is pampered, well fed and happy! You will receive daily photos, and updates. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions about my services and/or schedule. I look forward to meeting you and your lovely pet!
