“This was our first visit with Deanne. Doggy Daycare was a hit! Cash was happy when I picked him up. He was sound asleep on the couch within a 1/2 of getting home. I think he had a busy day with his new lil buddy!”

“Debbie has a lovely home and my dear pups were treated like honored guests. The meet and greet let me know Jasper and Millie were in good hands. Debbie’s entire family welcomed our dogs. I felt like I had an entire team to meet their needs with Debbie as captain. I appreciated the photos and texts to know our family pets were In good hands. It was a terrific experience and gives me great peace to know I can work late or plan an adventure and our beautiful pups will be in loving hands. Very grateful.”

“Christina goes far beyond taking care of pets. The minute I met her, I knew she was a really caring, respectful, and responsible person. My cat, Luna, looked healthy and happy when I returned from my 3 day break from work, and the house was just like how I left. I’ve never met her prior to her house/ pet sitting, and I can say very truthfully that she loves animals. Overall the experience was great, she is a great pet/ house sitter.”

10. Ashley R.

“Ashley and her family are amazing. She keeps me informed with how the day is going and is very welcoming. She is so flexible and willing to follow your dog’s schedule. She sends pictures daily which is awesome to see. When I drop Willis off at her house, he is so excited when she opens the door and loves to see her. I am so glad we found her and will continue to use her as long as we need puppy care. Thanks for everything you have done and are doing!!!! <3”

About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was 17. I’ve owned 4 dogs at one point. I have raised two litters of cats. I currently have one dog and one cat! I love animals and would love to help you give love to yours! Rover is my full time job so I am available! I will give your loved ones undivided attention! I will follow directions and make sure I give them lots of love and attention. I do not work currently. I only have to be at home at 2 to pick up my daughter from school. But I have a pretty open schedule. I walk my dog three times a day to ensure there aren’t any accidents at home. I have a gate in case i have to separate pets.

“Alejandra is the best. She made sure my dog received his medicine daily and would take him out on daily walks. Thanks to Alejandra I was able to be at peace knowing my dog received the best care.”


15. Dallas G.

“Dallas and Adam are the epitome of hospitality! From the moment we met them, they made us feel right at home, even offering us coffee during introductions. Their warmth and accommodation extended to Appa, treating him like one of their own. Their property is a doggy paradise, with ample space for Appa to play and explore. We couldn't have asked for cooler hosts. Definitely booking with them again when we're in the area!”


16. Nicole R.
About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was 5 years old, I come from a family of veterinarians and animal lovers. I even started pet sitting and walking when I was 9 years old. I’m currently studying part time so I have an open and flexible schedule. Message me, I’d love to walk, feed, watch after your fur babies! When I am watching after your pets, I make sure to take pictures, provide updates, and make sure your pets are comfortable & safe around me.

“Diana is a major animal lover! She is my neighbor and when my husband and I are out of town she has taken care of my cat and my chinchilla several times. She is extremely trustworthy, caring and responsible. I don't know what I would do without her. My cat is in love with her! It helps that Diana has grown up surrounded my animals her whole life and currently has 3 cats and a dog she cares for.”


18. Sheila P.

“Sheila was great with my pup shadow! She kept me updated throughout the day and would send pictures. She took great care of him, I could tell because he came home happy and exhausted.”


19. Samantha O.

“Samantha came through for us when we needed daycare for Holly on very short notice. Even though it was for only a few hours, Samantha sent frequent updates and lots of photos. We would be happy to leave Holly in her care again. Highly recommended. Thank you, Samantha!”


20. Joel G.
About: I work from home and am available to always have an eye on dogs and take them out as much as necessary in my fenced yard.I also have strong attention to detail regarding any needs to each individual dog. For walks I am capable of walking more than one at a time, even big strong dogs and I am patient. My dogs love all animals and have never been aggressive, both 15-20 pounds 5 years old and neutered. My house is dog-proof and safe for any dog to come stay in. My house consists of only me and my wife as well as our dogs. We live in a very relaxed environment that should make any and all dogs feel safe. We are willing to separate our dog from yours if your dog seems to feel uncomfortable around them. I work from home so as far as being around the dogs I will almost always be available to have all eyes on them and offer routine bathroom breaks. I will care for all pets the same I care for my own. Safely, patiently and with respect. We have a dog-proof house and have never had any issues with our own.
