Trooper had an awesome stay with David! I received daily updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear Trooper enjoyed the long walks, plenty of attention, and excellent care. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with David again in the future!

This was our second booking with Rover and again we were VERY pleased with our Sophie’s stay. They loved her as we do and incorporated her into their family! They kept us updated with many pictures of her stay which was very comforting when you leave your beloved pet. We would definitely recommend this sitter and will rebook them when in the area again. A plus rating from us and Sophie!!

This was our second time having Gretchen take care of our Daisy Lucille It was last minute as well needing her help and everything worked out for us to get her to her so we could get to Ohio for the birth of our Grandbaby girl for our son’s first baby. Daisy “came out of her shell” as Gretchen said and as always Gretchen kept us up to date on everything while we were gone!!! Daisy loves her and we do too!!!

About: I have a lifelong love for animals and 15 years of experience caring for pets. I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior and compassionate care to every pet I meet. I grew up with animals and currently have a three-year-old dog whom I trained myself, making me confident in basic obedience training. I have hands-on experience with dogs, including basic training, socialization, and understanding canine body language. I’ve also cared for multiple cats and appreciate their independent yet affectionate nature. From playtime and snuggles to maintaining feeding routines and administering medication when needed, I strive to make every pet feel comfortable and safe while their owner is away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own—with kindness, respect, and plenty of love. Whether your pet needs active engagement, gentle companionship, or a structured routine, I’m here to provide the care they deserve. As a full-time graduate student in a virtual program, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive and consistent care for your pets. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or overnight boarding, I have plenty of time to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I’m available for boarding both during the week and on weekends, making it easy to accommodate your travel or work schedule. With the ability to be home throughout the day, I can ensure your pet gets regular companionship, exercise, and care. Whether they need structured routines or just lots of cuddles, I’m here to keep them happy and comfortable while you're away. I provide a loving and secure environment for pets in my home, with a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can play safely. I also have a friendly, well-socialized three-year-old poodle who enjoys the company of other dogs, making for great companionship if your pup enjoys socializing. I tailor care to each pet’s needs—whether that means plenty of playtime, structured routines, or a quiet space to relax. If needed, I can easily crate your dog for sleeping or downtime to match their usual routine. My goal is to make your pet feel at home while ensuring they are safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: The house my parents moved into when I was only 4 weeks old was unfortunately a dumping ground for unwanted animals. Before I could even walk, I was cuddling with any animal that showed up at our door. This instilled a passion within me that I can finally turn into a profession. From Rescue and fostering to training dogs and showing horses, animals have always been a huge part of my life. In addition to my Management degree, I have an Associate of Science Degree with a major in Animal Science and a specialization in Agriculture. I completed an AKC handlers’ course which focused on reading your dog’s body language to understand their needs. Being so heavily involved in rescue, I have history and experience in dealing with reactive and/or selective dogs. I have many safety features depending on the animals needs including crates, double hung baby gates and 6 ft chain link fence that is separated into two yards. I also offer pet waste removal services. Feel free to send me a note if you have any questions. After a successful 25year business management career, I am now turning my lifetime passion of animal care into a profession. This year I started up my own business, "G'MA DOES". I offer a range of services from dog walking and pet sitting to animal waste removal. I like to stay active! While I have learned a tremendous amount of knowledge from multiple trainers, what I hold most dear is the ongoing information I take in from animal behaviorists such as Cesar Millan. Remember, when you first meet a strange dog practice NO TOUCH, NO TALK, NO EYE CONTACT! *LICENSED AND INSURED* In my house we call it "FURniture" for a reason. I use the "crate and rotate" regimen as needed and for feeding. I also have baby gates at every doorway. My entire backyard is a 6 ft chain length fence and I have it separated into two secured areas for exercise. Inside, one room is a dedicated cat room for litterboxes toys etc. The other two bedrooms will be dedicated safe spaces used for play, overnight stays, or whatever the situation calls for.

About: I will love your pets like my own. Leaving our pets behind while we travel is stressful enough, leave them with someone who's going to love them like you would if you were there. I believe sticking to the routines and schedules you have established for them is important for helping the time move quicker for them while you're away. I have no issues following detailed instructions and making sure their time away from you is filled with love and routine. I work Monday - Friday 7am-3pm and I am off on the weekends. I am available after those hours and on the weekend I work around my schedule I try to always do in the client homes because it is less disruptive to the animal and it keeps them on the same routine.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for years and have experience with different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, crate time, and basic grooming. I’m patient, attentive, and I’ll send regular updates so you always know how your pup is doing I have a very randomly organized schedule because I am a travel nurse that works night shift. So I am available most of the time during the day Whether in my home or yours, I focus on safety and structure. I follow your written instructions, keep pets on-leash outside unfenced areas, and make sure doors and gates stay secure. I’m mindful about feeding, treats, and household hazards, and I’m happy to do meet-and-greets for comfort and fit.

Jody took amazing care of our two pups while we were gone for a long weekend. She has a wonderful setup with a fenced in yard for pups to hang out and explore. She provided over the top service feeding my pups eggs when they wouldn’t eat their food and providing a fan for when they came back inside from running around. She was a delight to deal with from start to finish and sent us pictures while we were gone as well. Highly recommend her!! Thanks again Jody!

About: i will care for your pup as if they were my own. i have a pup of my own who will adore yours as well! i work from home everyday so i can accommodate your pups needs easily and i work with any schedule or regiment the pup may need. i live in an apartment which does not offer a fenced in backyard, so your pup will go on lots of walks and explore many parts of the city.

Wonderful establishment with beautiful scenery, tucked back high on a mountain. They're experienced and the kennels are in great shape!. The owners are very forthcoming with information before taking your animals to board there. It was worth the 40 minute drive. They helped me out when I needed help with two rescue dogs that I knew nothing about yet. Please consider them for your next board!.

Bailey was Amazing!!! We were worried about leaving our dog as he gets nervous when his routine is changed, especially overnight, but Bailey kept him calm and happy. He was very comfortable and looked quite at home when we picked him up which is the first time we ever saw him so chill. She sent regular updates and videos to assure us he was doing well the entire stay. I highly highly recommend her and we will definitely use her again!!! She is the best!!

Sofia is awesome! Right away you can tell she is a dog lover. She took great care of our dog- walked her and played with her, and sent us pictures and updates. Our pup can be slow to warm up to people, but we can see she clearly felt very safe and comfortable with Sofia.
