About: I have 5 plus years experience with dog boarding (repeated clients),dog sitting and dog walking. My Pomsky who I've had since he was 3 1/2 months old, is especially fond of dog parks, so we frequently visit, he's a dog lover and very sociable. As a pet parent myself, I cannot stress enough how much I understand the need for,and also encourage text messages for daily updates, photos ,and questions. I'm free most of the week,in the afternoons and can offer flexible dates and times. I'm also available for same day bookings. I can only board dogs at my home but for anyone needing house sitting for cat(s) I am more than happy to arrange that. In all the services I offer,I strive to make both your pet and yourself feel above else safe and comfortable through the brief period of separation. I'm more than happy to oblige to any instructions or routines established in your home/pet's daily routine while also offering comfort, if experiencing anxiety. I'm located near a renovated park that has a beautiful bike/walking track with plenty of greenery for your dog to walk, play and run. I live with 2 very dog friendly pets. I have a 6 year old tabby cat, and a 3 1/2 year old Pomksy. To engage in play, I have a 6 foot bright colored/mesh collapsible tunnel and plenty of toys ! Please see pictures.
About: Hi! My name is Aniya, and I've been around dogs my entire life. I grew up with two dogs of my own, which taught me from an early age the importance of patience, responsibility, and providing loving care to our furry family members. Over the years, I've had experience caring for both young, energetic puppies and senior dogs who require a gentler, more attentive approach. I'm comfortable adapting to each dog's unique personality, routine, and needs to help them feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. I also have experience caring for a dog with epilepsy and allergies, so I understand the importance of following care instructions carefully, administering medications when needed, and being attentive to changes in a dog's behavior or health. Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and I genuinely love spending time with them. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply having a companion nearby, I'll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own and give you peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I am a licensed esthetician and work on a commission-based schedule, which allows me to have a great deal of flexibility. As long as I am given at least one week's notice for requested dates and times, I can typically accommodate your pet care needs. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and committed to providing the best possible care for your pets. Your dog's comfort and safety are my top priorities. I live in a quiet townhouse community with plenty of open green space for walks, potty breaks, and outdoor time. While the area is not fenced, all outdoor activities will be closely supervised and dogs will remain safely leashed at all times. My home is pet-friendly, calm, and free of other pets, allowing your dog to receive my full attention without the stress of unfamiliar animals. I live with my mom and a male roommate, and all members of the household are adults but I will be the only person caring for your pup in the household. There are no children in the home, creating a peaceful environment where your pup can relax and feel comfortable. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply a cozy place to unwind, I'll provide plenty of love, attention, and care to help them feel right at home while you're away.

“Our Cooper has always been with us. Staying overnight with Val was only the second time in 5 years he has been away from us. She did such a great job sending updates and pics. I was really impressed because she actually got him to eat. I would recommend her highly and if we need her again, I will definitely look her up.”

“Stefanie was awesome!! This trip was the first time my spouse and I left our pup for a prolonged period and we were so nervous. She made the entire process easy and stress-free, she updated us with all the activities her and her son were doing with our Willow! She was kind and communicative the entire time. I would absolutely rebook with her for our next vacation if possible and recommend anyone to reach out to Stefanie for their needs.”
“Kim watched our two dogs and made our first rover experience simple. She responded to all of our questions quickly and kept us updated daily on how our pups were doing. Would recommend to anyone living in the area!”
“Sara was incredible with Khloe, if Khloe would have went to a normal boarding facility I know she would have been in a crate for 23 hours a day as she has some aggressive tendencies with other dogs. Khloe was given special attention and care since she wasn’t able to have a typical boarding day with the other dogs, Sara kept Khloe with her and she got to spend some time on the farm. Thank you Sara for taking such great care of our girl!”
“Melissa was a great communicator, and our dog enjoyed his stay! And an extra thank you for the new squirrel toy! Charlie loves it! We would definitely book Melissa again for our future overnight trips.”

Ana was an absolute pleasure to work with! From the very first message she was warm, friendly, and super responsive. Communication was excellent the entire time — she kept us updated with photos and check-ins so we never had to wonder how the pups were doing. Our dogs clearly had a fantastic time with her. They came home happy, relaxed, and tired in the best way. It’s obvious Ana genuinely loves dogs and knows how to make them feel comfortable and cared for. We feel so lucky to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!
Kelsey and her family took great care of Murphy while we were away. She sent updates and pictures of him enjoying his time with her kiddos. It was easy to see that they loved him and really seemed to be very at home with the family. I would not hesitate to have Murphy stay with them again. This morning I think he actually misses the kids!
