Pet Boarding Prospect

“My dog stayed with Angela & Tommy for a week while my family went on vacation. She had a great time! They have a nice fenced in yard for her to run around in. We got daily photos and updates which we appreciated. We'll definitely book them again.”

“Superb! I felt totally at ease leaving Gabby to Margaret's care. I appreciated her desire to meet Gabby beforehand, and she gave reassuring updates during Gabby's stay. Gabby got a lot of good attention that was documented in photos and messages, and I returned to find her relaxed and calm. I will definitely bring her back to Margaret next time I need dog care.”

“Anne-Marie and Steve are truly wonderful people with a genuine love for dogs. From the moment we dropped off our fur baby at their home, we felt at ease knowing he was in caring hands. They kept us updated regularly, reassuring us that he was safe, happy, and well-loved while we were away. Since our dog requires daily grooming and a bit of extra care, it meant the world to us to know he was in such attentive and capable hands. We deeply appreciate the love and dedication they showed, treating him as if he were their own. Thank you, Anne-Marie and Steve—we are so grateful!”

“My dog Blue stayed with Rachel for almost 10 days and I was honestly sad for him when he had to return to us. He seemed to be living his best life and I was so happy to see him happy via all the pics she would send daily. Will definitely be asking Rachel to watch blue again and again!”

“Yi Jia was amazing—we felt completely at ease leaving CHAI in her care. Before our boarding date, she arranged a meet-and-greet and carefully noted everything CHAI needed attention on. During the days CHAI stayed with her, she kept us updated with photos and videos. We would definitely choose her again. Thank you.”

“Addie was extremely nice and took the best care of our pups! She was very commicative and took many pictures on the daily. We will absolutely book again when we are in the area! Thank you!”

“Laura was absolutely wonderful with Bean this weekend. She treated her like her own and gave her so much love and attention. Bean was completely spoiled — she even got to sleep in bed with them! 🥰 It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such caring, capable hands. Laura kept us updated and made the whole experience seamless. We would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly love on your pup. Thank you again for taking such great care of our girl!”

About: I’ve been welcoming other people’s dogs into my home for more than 20 years. It started because I knew firsthand how hard it was to leave my own dog when I traveled. I wanted there to be another option for people like me—people who couldn’t imagine leaving their dog in a kennel but also weren’t comfortable having someone stay in their home. What began as something I offered to friends became something I genuinely love doing. There’s something very special about watching a dog arrive in an unfamiliar place, helping them settle in and trust me, and eventually seeing them stretched out on the couch or curled up beside me as though they’ve always lived here. I still miss them when they go home. I board dogs from only one family at a time because I want their stay to feel less like boarding and more like their own vacation. While they’re here, they live with me as part of my household. I work from home and structure my days around them, so they have plenty of companionship and frequent access to my fully fenced yard. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from very small dogs to dogs over 100 lbs, as well as puppies and seniors. They’re welcome on my furniture and, if they sleep with their people at home, they’re welcome to sleep with me. I don’t routinely crate dogs, but I’ll maintain a dog’s crate routine if that’s what they’re accustomed to at home. I require a Meet & Greet before accepting a new dog because I want your dog to be comfortable with me, my home and my dog—and I want you to feel completely comfortable leaving them with me. After more than 20 years, the reason I do this hasn’t changed. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is enjoying theirs, too—living in a home, getting affection and companionship, and being cared for by someone who understands just how much they mean to you. While your dog is in my care, I structure my days around them. I work from home, have my groceries delivered and generally don’t schedule activities that require me to leave them alone. There’s no rigid boarding schedule here—their normal routine becomes part of mine. Whether they want to follow me around the house, nap beside me while I work, play, cuddle or head into the fenced yard, they have companionship throughout the day. While your dog is with me, I treat them as one of my own, with the same love, attention and care I give my own dog. Before a dog stays with me for the first time, I require a Meet & Greet with my dog so we can make sure they’re comfortable together before you leave your dog in my care. I board dogs from only one family at a time, so there aren’t unfamiliar boarding dogs constantly coming and going. My yard is fully fenced, and while your dog is here, I follow your instructions for feeding, medications and normal routines. I don’t crate dogs unless their family specifically requires it as part of their normal routine.

“Mikayla and Justin were incredible during Teddy’s stay! Their communication was excellent, and they kept me updated with tons of photos while I was away. They truly went above and beyond to make sure Teddy felt loved and comfortable. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!”

“Mylinda was wonderful with Milo! She was very accommodating with my last-minute needs, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in her care. She sent pictures and updates multiple times a day, was very responsive, and handled any unexpected situations really well. Milo seemed happy and well taken care of when I picked him up. I really appreciated how communicative and attentive she was throughout the week and would definitely book with her again!”

“I highly recommend Skarlett for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. She took care of my dog Kingston for the third time and did a fantastic job. Skarlett was attentive, responsible, and made sure Kingston was happy and comfortable while I was away. I received daily pictures and videos. I'm grateful for her services and will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“Jill and her family are amazing! We have left our maltipoo, Benji with them a few times and they have cared for him so well. Benji just did and overnight and I he loved it. If you need pet care, do not hesitate for a second with Jill. She and her family are great and are our go to sitters!”

Sadik K.

“My dog was so well taken care of by Emy and her husband. I can tell by the photos and messages I received during his stay that they were being super attentive and giving him all the love that he gets at home. It was my first time using Rover and I was very nervous but after our first meeting, I knew Emy was the perfect fit. Will 100% be contacting her again in the future. Thanks guys!!”

Elizabeth and leighton M.

“We had a fantastic experience! Kayla took such great care of our dog, Soren — it was clear from the start that she is kind, attentive, and genuinely love animals. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our pup came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. In fact, I think he’s missing her! We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with Kayla again. Highly recommend!”

“Ashley along with her husband and son did a wonderful job taking care of Brees. Her home is nice and quiet for a small dog like mine who is on the timid side. Ashley took lots of photos of Brees in action while we were away and texted them to me.”

Theresa S.

“Yvette and her husband clearly fell in love with dogs and treated them as precious children. The photos sent showed two content and well-cared for dogs. I will definitely leave “the girls” with Yvette again.”
