“Excellent service and care of my pup Hope. Gave great insight and wisdom on additional care for her. Definitely feel as if she gave her a great start! Would recommend him for sure!”


About: I've been caring for pets for over 10 years. I car for four dogs, located in my home overseas, so I know the importance of knowing they are loved and cared for while I'm away. I'm happy to help put your mind at ease and care for your pets with excellence! I work full time from home, so I'm available to care for your pet throughout the day! I can provide frequent potty breaks, play, and walks throughout the day I live on a large farm that is easy to walk around. I also have great fenced in let you dog out easily for quick potty breaks! In your home, I'm happy to accommodate any rules and individual needs your pets may have.

“Shelby did a great job with our puppy. She had amazing patience. She dealt with our last minute addition of days, sent us lots of pictures and videos and made us feel really comfortable about his stay. I would recommend her for anyone.”


“Cheyenne took wonderful care of our Jax. He had a blast playing with her dogs and made a new friend, Romero. Her kids took to him right away. As labs do, he got muddy and she went over and above by bathing him. She sent frequent pics and videos of him playing. We will definitely use her again if we are in the area again.”



“We love Casey, her boyfriend, and Boyd!! Grayson had a blast there and came home and slept like a baby. They sent me pictures all day and spoiled him rotten. Wonderful place and family! ”

About: I am a certified professional dog trainer through CCPDT and use positive reinforcement, force-free methods with all of my services. My goal as a pet professional is to make my time with your pets fun, exciting and productive! From pet retail, to doggie daycare, to my very own dog training business, I have been working as a professional in the pet industry for over 8 years. Currently, I have two dogs, two cats and a ball python and have owned many other exotics in the past. I have volunteered with retired racing Greyhound adoption for years by transporting, fostering and adopting them into their forever homes. I look forward to adding more pets and their owners to the awesome family I've created through my training and boarding business! Ask about adding private training sessions to your dog's stay. Being a self-employed dog trainer, I am committed full-time to the pets in my care. Occasionally, when noted, I will have to step out for an in-home dog training lesson or walk, but I am able to return promptly, within 1-2 hours. I have a secure, privacy fenced backyard with cold water bowls, shade, raised dog beds, and toys to climb and play on. We love to pull out the puppy pool or sprinkler on hot summer days! Please note, dogs are never left unattended while out. If dogs must be left unattended for a short time, I have a fully suited up kennel room complete with a TV (to play cartoons or music), comfy blankets and cool AC or warm heat. For safety purposes, boarders will sleep overnight and enjoy their meals in their crates. I am a self-employed business owner, and dog training and pet care is my full-time job. My schedule is very flexible, as nearly all of my time is spent working with dogs, pets and my clients. Dogs will be crated for safety anytime they cannot be actively supervised, as well as during mealtimes. I have a fully suited, cozy kennel room in my home with heat/AC, music and a TV for comfort, plus a camera recording video footage for additional safety. My home is proofed, and my backyard has a secure 6.5ft privacy fence. Dogs will never be left unsupervised in the home or yard.

About: We came across the Cavapoo breed as our loving Rottweiler was on his journey to his “better place”. We chose the Cavapoo breed as our furry rainbow puppy to help us all with the tough loss. Fast fwd 5 years, and WOW, still can’t believe the journey that was created for us. Dog breeding, training, boarding and grooming just the way I would want my pups taken care of…in a home. Our setup is ready for all stages of dogs and of course, personalities. This is a small family business and we make pet care fit seamlessly into our lives. We’re a party of 4 and all hands are always on deck. 4:00 am wake up call during the week and 6:00 am on weekends. Caring for pets in our home can consist of taking your pets normal routine that’s already established and following it. Help keep your animal on a schedule of food timing to crate or bedroom boarding. We live in a neighborhood with a 6 foot privacy fenced in back yard. A 3,000 gallon Koi pond surrounded by 800 square feet of deck. Nice plush outdoor furniture for the dogs to lounge next to the pond after a drink. We have also built a 200 square foot doggie palace on our property. Full electricity with heating/air and additional ceiling fan. Great for rainy days or dogs who are lone rangers and/or feisty.

About: I have taken care of my own dogs and cats along with those of family and friends for the last 20 years. I worked in a vet clinic for several years and I have experience with a variety of breeds. I enjoy spending time with and getting to know each and every animal since no two are ever the same. I am currently self employed which allows me to make my own schedule. I care for the animals on my farm as well as my 5 herding dogs daily. I would love to care for your furry friends too. I believe every pet is an individual and should be treated as such. I like to find what your pet enjoys and work it into our day, wether that is a walk, playing fetch, or being a complete couch potato.

About: I have over 10 years of pet care experience! I am a responsible pet owner of (3) small dogs. I do have basic training experience and have crate trained all three of my dogs successfully (after many sleepless nights of course). I work from home full-time so I am always at home and available for drop ins, doggy day care, or boarding! My house has a fenced in yard and all three of my dogs are up to date on vaccinations, including Bordetella. I also walk our dogs daily (weather permitting) so you can ensure your little one will get exercise, if they would like it that is! I have also fostered rescue dogs previously through Paws 4 a Cause in Lexington. I am an avid animal lover and will treat your dog as one of my own. Please note: due to my dogs being smaller (all under 25 pounds) I wont be able to accept dogs larger than 30-40 pounds. My dogs are tough and love to play, but we want to avoid any play injuries! I work from home full-time so I will be available throughout the day for your pet. I am able to let your pet out, or drop by and check on your pets many times throughout the day. Even when my schedule is busy I still usually have time to step away for pet care! I care for the pets in my home by keeping a watchful eye over them. They have access to our backyard and I ensure to step out and check on them often. I know what foods are safe for dogs and what foods are dangerous. My dogs are on different medications (for allergies), so I am well versed on giving oral medications if needed as well. If I am checking on your pet(s), or staying over at your place, you can rest assured that I am taking care of your pet(s) as if they were my own!

About: I’ve always been around dogs since I can remember and owned at least one since I was a little kid. I currently own 2 doodles, one which I’ve had over 10 years and the other we adopted a year ago. I work as a nurse only 3 days a week. In the meantime my husband is home 24/7. Every day before work and after work I like to take them for walks, so they each get multiple walks a day. I have 6 acres of fenced property. I have 2 other dogs that get along with other dogs and are kid friendly. As a nurse I can handle dogs that need to take Medicine or need to be crated overnight. We’re very understanding and flexible with owner’s needs.

About: Dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family, and that’s exactly how I’ll treat yours. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience with both playful puppies and seasoned seniors. As a full-time sitter, your dog will get my full attention with frequent walks, fun adventures, and plenty of love and playtime in my yard. I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and right at home—because when they’re with me, they’re part of the family. As someone who stays home full-time and only works a few days a week, pet care naturally fits into my daily life. I have plenty of time, flexibility, and energy to give each pet personalized attention—whether that means morning walks, medication schedules, playtime in the yard, or just cozy companionship throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone or on a tight schedule—they’ll be part of a calm, loving home where their needs come first. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and maintain your pet’s familiar environment to reduce stress. I stick to their usual schedule, including meals, medications, and playtime, while providing companionship and supervision. Whether at your home or mine, your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priorities.

About: I will give them the time and attention that they deserve, and if there's any types of training or exercises that need to be done I am willing to learn. My schedule is opened up quite a bit so I'm just doing some doordashing on the side so I'm more than available and capable of spending time with your fur babies. And giving Then the time and attention that they need. I'm also up for meeting beforehand if you need. You just give me all of the requirements of what your fur baby needs and wants are and I will follow any boundaries set for your place or mine.

About: I've been caring for pets of all kinds since my childhood! Growing up, I helped raise and train border collies for agility and obedience competitions with my grandmother. Within the past few years, I personally rescued and raised a reactive dog with a rough start in life, as well as cared for my family's senior dog with limited hearing and vision through the end of her life. Friends, family, and neighbors have counted on me for pet care needs from dog bathing to bottle feeding kittens. I'm passionate about pet care and would be so excited to give your pet the best walk, bath, playdate, or check-in they've ever had! I'm am working to complete my doctorate in clinical psychology and hope to work in pet care as close to full time as possible! I'm an early bird and am learning to be a night owl, so I can be available whenever you and your pet may need, 7 days a week. I have one dog-loving, fully vaccinated/flea and heart worm treated, neutered mini Australian shepherd in my home. He's never met a dog or cat he didn't love, but is comfortable resting in another room if your pet needs some alone time while at my home. I take the safety and tidiness of my clients' homes seriously, and am happy to respect the rules and cleanliness of your home when visiting for a check-in or sitting.

Madison R.
“Madison is my daughter, so I might be biased, but she is awesome. She is very smart, caring, and responsible. Madison grew up with cats and dogs in our family. She was very attentive to their needs and truly enjoyed playing with them. Madison has a big heart of service. Our current cat, Gypsy, was a mature outside cat that due to circumstances was going to be abandoned by a family moving across country. Madison persuaded the rest of the family to take her in. She did a great job of helping her adjust to being our family cat. We are so fortunate that Gypsy joined our family because of Madison. Madison has her own dog that is a miniature Australian Shepard that adores her. When she comes home her dog acts like the sun just came out for the first time - he can’t get enough of her (and vice versa). If I were hiring someone from Rover to care for my pet, Madison would definitely fit the profile I would be looking for in that role - responsible, reliable, caring, knowledgeable of cats and dogs, and an owner of a dog with a family cat. Another point to consider, Madison is pursuing a doctorate in psychology and by choosing her to serve your pet you will be helping her fulfill her dream of helping others.”
