“Megan’s place is so puppy friendly! My dog loves it there. He runs in the house like it’s his home. Megan sends pics and updates throughout the day. I never worry if Bandit is happy or getting love!”

“Rowena is the best of the best. She has been wonderful with my puppy, Layla! She’s always so willing to help to give Layla what she needs. She’s definitely opened up a new world for her with playtime, walks and trips to the dog park where she can run and see all the sights and sniff all the sniffs little puppies dream of! I’m so grateful.”

About: I have an exceptional talent in making each and every canine and feline feel happy and loved. They thrive under my care, and love individual attention and understanding. Pet care is second nature to me, and fits extremely well with my current lifestyle of working part time and living in a retirement community. Pets cared for in my home are well loved and get lots of attention. I walk dogs regularly, and am exceptional at playing with and caring for them. I am in the backyard with them whenever they go outside.
“Lewis is truly the best! His care and attention to detail are top-notch. He keeps me updated with photos, messages, and even takes my dog out for walks. Every time I pick her up, she’s happily exhausted! Thank you so much for taking such great care of Fern 🐾”

“Alejandro and Keyla are excellent. Every time we approach their front door, Nala's tail starts wagging and you can sense her excitement. The photos, videos, and updates through-out the day is reassuring of the great care and attention they give to each pet in their care. We have used them multiple times and will continue to use them. We definitely recommend Alejandro and Keyla for any pet parent seeking a responsive, kind, and loving home to place for their pet.”

“Britteny was awesome with Luna, it was her first rover visit and Britteny was so attentive and caring she sent me photos throughout her stay and took care of Luna like she was a part of her family!”

About: I love dogs! They are a special part of my life and I currently have two mini Australian shepherds who are 8 and 6 years old. I have been around dogs my whole life and really enjoy all their fun and quirky personalities. Our house has a nice fenced in yard- your pet will get lots of exercise and outdoor time! I would love the opportunity to take care of your dog and will treat them as part of the family. I homeschool my boys so I am home all the time. Please feel free to ask me any questions that you may. Thanks for trusting me with your pet! I want your pet to feel as comfortable with the least stress as possible! I can take your pup out for a walk in the morning and evening and I will also let them outside in our fenced yard as often as they need. I have a nice fenced in yard for your pup to play. We also want them to feel at home while staying with our family and will make sure they get lots of snuggles, play time and whatever may help make their stay enjoyable!
About: I’ve had dogs, cats, chickens and other birds my whole life, more than 40 years. I’m a retired teacher and empty nester and I’m home most of the time so your fur babies will get lots of love and attention! I’m retired so I’m home and available almost all of the time. I’d rather be at home with furry friends. They’ll get lots of love and attention with me. I have a large fenced yard and a one story house with wood floors. I’m an empty nester so it’s just me and my service dog at home. There’s no kids around just me and my sweet dog.
About: What truly sets me apart is my dedication to transparent communication and proactivity—you will receive detailed updates with high-quality photos, ensuring you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. You will probably get sick of the videos! I am currently exiting the corporate world (20 years) and want to continue to be active with something I LOVE to do! I will be available to care for your babies. I try to keep the same routine for the animals so that there is less stress while their owners are away. It is important for them to feel calm and comfortable.
“Lily hosted my bulldog puppy Maggie for doggie daycare and was responsive and sent pictures throughout the day. I was a little nervous at first about her husky Turbo being too high energy for my pup but he was totally calm and extremely patient with Maggie's intrusive puppyish bulldog ways.”

“Great first daycare with Amanda. It’s always a nervous feeling when leaving my girl with a new sitter but Amanda put me at ease by sending pics and updates throughout the day. Pep will definitely be returning!!!!!”

About: Mom of 2 teens - we have been dog owners for many years and looking forward to giving the same loving care to your pets in your absence. I am a stay at home mom working occasionally as a substitute teacher. Weekend activities vary but will block off if not home majority of time. Our 2 dogs are family. We adopted them 10 years ago. They are inside dogs with a fenced in yard. Although they have their own beds, they prefer the human bed and sofa. Our dogs love to be pet and especially love their treats and walks.
About: As a child, I owned almost every pet imaginable - from house cats to Rottweilers to lizards to ferrets! Bless my poor mother's heart - we practically had a small zoo at our house! As an adult I owned a cat for 5 years and also "dog /cat sat" for friends and families many times. I'm an all-around animal lover who is comfortable with many different types of pet care. I'm a stay-at-home mom with plenty of flexibility on both weekdays and weekends to provide care for your pets. My availability is limited on federal holidays. I live in a pet-friendly house with a fenced-in back yard. The neighborhood is quiet and safe for walks. I also have access to a nearby park.
About: Owner and operator of Kyle K9 dog training services since 2016. I also have 35 years of experience caring for my own loving extended fur family. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to care for your pet in my home, take them for long walks, and possibly teach them a few new commands or tricks. I live in a smoke-free, dog-friendly environment with a fenced-in backyard and just a few minutes walk to the dog park or along the creek.
“Jia is pawsome caregiver! My new puppy found a good friend - Jia's poodle and he became well behaved, I guess puppy learned good manners from Jia's poodle. I also was getting regular updates with pictures. I can highly recommend Jia's services for day care and boarding.”
