“Sandra is terrific in Cooper's first stay with her. She allowed us to come meet her before the stay. When we checked in she responded quickly and always sent a picture of Cooper and the other dogs having fun. She made us feel very confident in her abilitiesright from the start. We shall return to Sandra time and time again. Thank you Sandra, you're awesome.”
About: I have one year of experience caring for dogs and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I can provide feeding, walks, playtime, fresh water, and lots of love and attention. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they are part of my own family. I have a flexible schedule and will always do my best to accommodate your pet care needs. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I will provide updates, photos, and plenty of love and attention to make sure your pet is happy and comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications (if needed), and routines. I always provide a clean, safe, and loving environment, and I will treat your pet with the same care and respect as if they were my own.
“This was my first time to use Rover. I was pretty skeptical that I would find the right person for the long stay needed. HOWEVER, I could NOT have found a better match than Stephanie and her family! From the start, she made the process so easy. I met with her before the drop off and immediately felt at ease, a weight lifted off my shoulders. Knowing my dogs would be left in good care made me feel so much better about leaving my them behind. They had never stayed with anyone nor at an unfamiliar home before this stay. Stephanie kept me updated and sent pics daily. I never worried about how they were doing or felt uncomfortable about them while I was away. After my pick up, I was sure my dogs would be excited to see me after a week of being away. BUT that was not the case, it was as if they were disappointed to be home with me after that stay!! I could tell, my dogs were treated very well and enjoyed the care Stephanie and her family provided my dogs. Although it took awhile for my dogs to come around after being home, it made me happy to know they felt comfortable with Stephanie! I highly recommend Stephanie for any pet services.”
About: Ive been around all kinds of animals since before I could walk. Ive owned and trained my dogs all my life and have always been the go to for friends and family to take care of their animals if they were traveling. Im available every day after 3pm and on the weekends Im free when needed I just need a few days notice so I dont have scheduling conflicts. I have a large back yard and one pup of my own hes vocal but friendly as can be. My yard is not fenced but we go on regular walks and jogs. My floors are epoxy so theres no need for worry of stains or messes if youd like your pup to be separate we can arrange something.
“They are awesome! The home is welcoming and safe and they were very caring with my little Doxie’s first time being boarded. I now consider them the only people I will leave my dog with…I highly and confidently recommend them! 5 stars for sure”
“Cynthia and her family did an amazing job watching AK during our long weekend trip. Cynthia sent daily updates, videos, and photos during AK's stay in their home. Cynthia took the time to ask all important questions to ensure AK was well cared for and adjusted to her know in a comfortable manner. Cynthia was kind to adjust the stay and allow AK to stay another night due to delay in travel plans. When arriving home after picking up AK Cynthia included a sweet picture of AK during his stay in her home. We will definitely be using Cynthia and her family's services again.”
“Xiao was a great sitter. We needed a last minute boarding and she answered fast and was ready for drop off ASAP. She sent pictures and videos the whole time and our dog had a great visit. You can tell she is a big animal lover! We will definitely use her again if we’re in the area.”

I’ve also been volunteering at my local SPCA shelter for added experience and love working with all the dogs. I also have experience working at a kennel and caring for the dogs. I am currently working overnight shifts so I will have ample time to spend time with your dogs during the day! I am available everyday and am very flexible and can accommodate most, if not all, requests:) I currently live in a complex that has plenty of outdoor space and fields for your dog to get an abundance of walks, playtime, and exercise

“Elaine was great! Her place and clean and comfy perfect for the pups! She sent great photos and updates daily. Our pups loved playing with her daughter as well! Would definitely book again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Cesar. He took great care of our dog, and we can tell our dog was happy and comfortable throughout the stay. We really appreciate the regular updates and pictures- it gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dog had a wonderful time, and we will definitely use him again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Brennan and Elizabeth were so wonderful to work with from the meet and greet until we picked up our dog upon our return. They are friendly, energetic and were quick to respond to our questions. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in their care. We’d definitely recommend Brennan and Liz. Thanks for looking after Zoey!”
“Our dog Hart had an amazing time at Morgan's house! He had a short visit and then a longer, 5 day visit. Morgan did a great job of pairing him up with dogs his size and energy level that he could run around and play with. He got lots of play time and even got his paws wet in the kiddie pool which was a first! He was well cared for and happy! Morgan is very good at communicating and sending photos. We would highly recommend her!”

Angela was wonderful to work with. She did a great job of taking care of our cats. Everything was cohesive and she sent us pictures and little updates on how they were doing. Everything she did gave us the peace of mind we needed when having someone take care of your babies
I met Ellen here and inquired with her about watching my sweet girl, Maizy, in her home while we traveled. She responded immediately and we set up a time to meet. She was very easy for both Maizy and I to get along with and her home was clean and practical for her to be pet sitting. We officially booked, and upon dropping Maizy off, we met her husband and their pup, Salty. It was a very pleasant encounter. While away, Ellen kept in touch with updates and photos. After traveling, she and her husband confirmed that Maizy is sweet, well behaved, and was a joy to have around. I will be booking with Ellen again, and would absolutely recommend her as a sitter for your pup too. Thank you, Ellen!
We were so lucky to have Adani care for our girl while we were away. She sent pictures and a video along with feedback about how she was doing. She gave her attention, cuddled with her and let her try some of her dogs food toppers, which Verrin LOVED! She even taught her a new trick! You can tell that Adani loves dogs and has a wealth of knowledge to care for them. We will definitely be using Adani again if she is available when we need a sitter for our girl.
