About: I've had dogs my whole life and have been the go-to dog sitter for friends and family for the last 15 years. Whether it's energetic puppies or mellow seniors, I know how to tune in to each dog’s unique needs and make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home—even when you're away. We live on over 6 acres of land with a full acre securely fenced in, so your dog will have plenty of room to run, sniff, and explore safely. When your dog stays with me, they’ll get more than just walks and meals—they’ll get affection, playtime, and a calm, dependable environment. I treat every pet like family and I’m happy to follow your specific routines, preferences, and training methods to keep things consistent for your pup. Whether it’s daily updates, photo check-ins, or managing special needs, I’ve got you covered. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m available to care for pets seven days a week. Your dog will get plenty of attention throughout the day, and I’m always nearby for walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I have a three year old Chessie who loves new friends. I adjust each stay to fit your dog’s personality and needs, and I’m happy to follow any specific routines, including medications or crate training.
“Rebecca was amazing. She was flexible when we were running late for the drop off. She was very communicative. The facility was very clean. She also provided us with pictures of our happy dog hanging out. This went a long way toward leaving our dog with someone new.”
“Couldn’t be more grateful and happy! Thank you for making Tomahawk feel loved and at home! Got lots of cute photos and great communication. 10/10 ❤️”
“Kenzie was amazing with our dog Rory. She made every effort to accommodate our dog and her special needs. Kenzie is very responsive, and we appreciated the picture updates we received. Our dog loved playing with her dog Mochi. We will definitely be back!”
“Skye-Ann is fantastic. She gets dogs and dog people. She was very interested in caring for Jep in a way that ensured he had a great stay with her. I have total confidence that he will be safe and happy when staying with her in the future.”
“Thank you!”
“He was fantastic with my two dogs. Gave me updates, including videos and pictures. My girls came home happy and tired. I will absolutely book with Charlie again.”
“Amazing boarding experience with Ally and her sweet family. Couldn’t recommend her enough.”
“Ashley was so great! Wonderful property for our dog. She was attentive to our doggie and kept us updated. We knew our fur baby was in great hands!”
“Prudence is very kind and welcoming and her dog Pierre is very sweet and playful. After we left her house from the meet and greet, I felt at ease to leave our pups with her. She’s super close to a park and has a nice closed in courtyard for the dogs to relax on a nice day. Communication was easy and she responded quickly. She was also very accommodating and flexible on time. She kept us updated on how they were doing throughout their stay and sent us pictures of daily walks and time relaxing or playing with toys. We couldn't have asked for better care for our two lab mixes. We will definitely be using Prudence in the future and highly recommend her!”
About: I can administer medications, give your pet a bath, clean up yard poop, and be able to spend time with your pets with lots of love!

I am able to come to your home to care for your pets and offer time and drops ins and some quality time and walks to hang out with your fur babies!!
“Sam is awesome. She was great with my dog, who herself had a great time with her very sweet dog, Blue. I have a young, high energy herding dog, and she was not a problem for Sam. She accommodated changes to my schedule, and on top of everything she’s very kind. We’ll be back!”
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals and I am willing do to whatever it takes to make them happy, comfortable, and cared for. I work full time as a residential cleaner, starting at 9 am and end times vary depending on how many houses I need to clean. I dont have any dogs. Not since I moved out. I watch a beautiful hound when his parents need time away. My parents have two beautiful well taken care of Rottweilers. I have five cats. I feed them good quality food and occasionally do raw food diet when I can afford it. I play with them when I can and they are inside cats.
About: I have always had a dog in my life, and currently own 2 high energy GSP’s. I live on 12 acres off a quiet road which is a haven for dogs of all kinds. I work from home so am able to give lots of attention throughout the day and love to cuddle at night. My dogs are extremely friendly and will likely want to cuddle your dog at night too after a full day of running around on the property. I provide attention to detailed needs (like checking for ticks or caring for a sprained ankle) without hesitation. So you can travel with ease knowing your pup will return happy and healthy! I work from home so can give your pup lots of attention throughout the day. The weekends I enjoy being outside, whether that’s working out on our land, or taking the dogs on a hike or down to the river. I’m open to embarking on your pups favorite activities to make them feel comfortable. Through my experience I’ve learned that an active and occupied dog is a happy dog when their owners are away, which is something I strive for with every dog including my own. I live on 12 acres that is unfenced but on a quiet road with few neighbors. At night one of my dogs is crated (since he’s still a puppy) the other is uncrated. They are lovers of every dog and human they meet. I am sure I can accommodate most any of your dogs needs while staying. Except for sleeping in the bed with me - sorry I can’t do that :)
“Beth was the first caregiver I had since joining DogVacay. She made me feel comfortable leaving my 9 month old German Shepherd mix with her for a few days. When I returned to pick her up, Hazel was just as excited to see Beth as she was me, so I know she had a great time with her!! Would definitely recommend her to care for your pet.”
“Katlyn exceeded all our expectations! I am so grateful we found her on Rover. Leaving on a trip is stressful and worrying about our pets adds to it all. Our dog, Sid, had such a great time that I wasn't sure he would want to leave her house when we arrived home. Katlyn was great at communicating with us; she gave us updates and photos every day. I highly recommend her services!!”
“Jaleh was wonderful with my dog, made her feel right at home and kept us updated with a sunbathing picture everyday 🤗 I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for coverage for their beloved animal.”
About: I’ve taken care of family dogs (we had up to 4) dogs that need special care and my own personal cats (2 Siamese). I’ve always been an animal person. I am stoked to help you with your pets. I am a teacher in HR and very reliable. I can walk, pet, feed and give your pet the love/care they need when you are away! I am currently on summer break as a teacher in HR so my schedule is pretty flexible right now! During the school year weekends and holidays work best ♥️ I will respect your home and dog and follow any special directions needed to ensure the comfortability and safety of your pet. I know how important my dogs and cats are to me, so I will make sure to share that understanding to you and your fur babies!

Raenell was great! I really predicated regular updates during the stay and excellent communication leading up to the stay. My dog returned happy like he was on vacation 🙂. I would recommend Raenell to anyone.
Laura was fantastic!!! She took our dog out for fun adventures and shared photos throughout the stay. She was super attentive to the needs of our dog and super communicative with us. I highly recommend Laura. You and your dog will be so happy.
Amy, Richard, and Zadie were amazing! They took great care of our dog Maggie, lots of photos and walks. We would recommend them to anyone.
Abigail was so wonderful with our Golden and helped out very last minute. Lots of walks and pictures, highly recommend.
Aya is great with my young XL dog, Smokey. She watches him in her home and for the 3-4 days he's there, she loves him like her own. Multiple long walks a day, treats, naps on the couch and quality time with Bruno. I appreciate the daily messages with pics and updates. Smokey hated the one time I boarded him in town at a pet camp. He barked and was stressed out the entire time was the report I got when I picked him up. He's comfortable with Aya and knows her home is a safe. She's the only person I trust to watch my dog.
