“Robin made an instant connection with our pup Stella. We were sent photos of their time together and Stella was very happy. We highly recommend Robin to watch your fur baby, they’ll be in good hands.”


“Connie, as expected, treated our dog Guinness with spectacular loving care. She really loves to watch your little baby and it shows when you drop them off or pick them up. Communication is excellent, and you can expect multiple pictures from her. Thanks Connie!!!! We can’t wait to have you watch Guinness again.”


“Viviana is amazing!!! Chase absolutely adores her. She responds quickly and is very loving! I’ve used her a few times and don’t want to share LOL!!”


“Andrew was so kind and loving to Linus. The fenced in backyard was great for getting out energy in a safe space. Lots of photos and text updates, too. Would recommend!”


“Denise is absolutely the best. Our babies have stayed with her several times now. We get photos regularly and she and her family treat Dexter and Lexi like part of their family.”



“We just moved to the area and first time using this service. Teri was exceptional and treated my Charlie with so much love - he is very attached to me and I was so worried and stressed - but that all changed the moment we got there and the whole time he was there. The communication- the ease with which Charlie responded to her and the love and care he received-”


About: We've always had one or more dogs in our household. We absolutely love animals and love socializing our pups. I have frequently cared for friend's and family's pets during vacation. The more the merrier! I work remotely in the home Monday though Friday and am available for frequent potty breaks, snuggles and play time as well as long walks around the neighborhood. We have two friendly fur babies, a 10 year female Boxer and a 2.5 year old American Bulldog who love playing in the yard, house and long walks around the neighborhood. I also have an exercise pen if you have a smaller dog that needs time alone to relax from playing with the other dogs.

“Reggie had a great time staying with Krista! Krista was happy to do a meet & greet before, so I felt comfortable. She kept me updated with daily pictures and was happy to keep him for a few extra hours as my flight was delayed. She was so easy to work with and very responsive. I would recommend her to anyone!”



“AMAZING!! I have never been so calm leaving my pup with Mrs. Kimber. Her and her family are so kind and welcoming. I received videos of my dog everyday and I could see that my pup was being well taken care of and having a lot of fun. To be honest, I didn’t think my dog was going to want to come home after her stay, she was having too much fun! Mrs. Kimber and her family are definitely my new permanent dog sitters. 10/10, definitely recommend.”


“Tiffany H. was an excellent caregiver for our dog, Sparky! She was loving, kind, gentle, playful, knowledgeable, active, and versatile, and she communicated with me several times each day through text messages and photos. My dog LOVED her . . . I surmised that from all the pictures of him licking and snuggling with her.”


“Michael is an excellent care giver for my aging Coton Kona. Highly recommend for well cared for dogs. Lots of pictures and updates. Will be back for sure!”


“My dog and I absolutely love Marissa! She made Coco feel right at home. Marissa sent me updates daily, including photos. I felt like my dog was on a vacation too! It was so nice not having to worry about Coco, knowing that she was happy being at Marissas. She was even able to accommodate my mother in laws dog last minute. I will definitely have Marissa watch Coco again! She’s the best!”


“Jeannie helped us out with a last minute request and was so welcoming to our girl. She sent us pictures and updates everyday. She has a great fenced in backyard and her kids really took to Kinley right away. Would use again in the future!”


“Megan and the family were great taking care of Rock’s while we were away. Would definitely go back next time to them when we need a babysitter for Rock’s”


“Svetlana took very good care of my Golden Retriever puppy. It’s was over the 4th of July weekend and she was very patient and gentle with Macy and experiencing the noise for the first time. I would highly recommend her.”



“We were going to be gone for 2 weeks and were so concerned about what to do with our senior dog while we were gone. Thank goodness we found Kathy! She and her husband are wonderful. Moose was in kind and competent hands so we were able to enjoy our long vacation. Kathy sent us updates and photos everyday. She made sure that our puppy felt comfortable and happy. He is on multiple medications, but since she is a nurse, this was no problem. We can not express what a comfort it is to know that we have someone to leave our dog with that cares about him as much as we do! We definitely will leave Moose with Kathy on our next trip away from home.”


“This was my first time using Rover for my dog boarding, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised and satisfied with the service I received. Savannah was awesome with communicating daily activities, and providing pictures of my two dogs while I was away on vacation. Savannah put my mind at ease daily, and I will definitely be using her services in the future.”


“Tammy & her family take such great care of Pearl and she really enjoys staying with them! I am very grateful for them and will continue to reach out for their help:)”


“Mrs Diana took very good care of Kali. She made sure to send videos and pictures of Kali during her stay. Diana was super quick with responding regarding any questions. HIGH RECOMMEND!!!!”



“Shelley had my Leo for 3 nights and she fell in love with him. He was a good dog and got along well with her little dog. I would definetly take Leo back to her in the future. Thank you Shelley.”

Elizabeth & Sean H.
“Beth is truly one of a kind. She’s not just a dog sitter—she’s a loving, insightful, and deeply dedicated doggie mama. Every pup she meets is welcomed into her heart like part of her own loyal pack. Her knowledge of dog behavior is incredible. Beth is always learning and growing, staying up to date on the latest in canine psychology. But what matters most is the way she naturally connects with dogs—building trust through gentle leadership, patience, and kindness. Dogs absolutely love her, and it’s a joy to witness. Beth cared for my dogs (and those of our neighbors) regularly for years. They adored her. Life took me away for a while, but when we reconnected recently, my timid dog—usually so reserved—lit up the moment he saw her. He danced, rolled, and nuzzled her in pure joy. It was like no time had passed. If you’re lucky enough to have Beth care for your dog, know this: your fur baby will be safe, cherished, and truly feel at home.”
