Dog Boarding Rockwood

“Absolutely amazing experience! She accepted our last-minute booking without hesitation and made the entire process stress-free. We got regular updates and lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was clearly well cared for, happy, and loved on the whole time. Reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring — we would absolutely book again and highly recommend!”

“Thank you for taking such good care of our pups. Gloria communicated with us before our stay and stayed in contacted the whole time our dogs were with her. I highly recommend boarding with Gloria, and we will definitely use her again if we are in the area.”

My home has a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely run and play under supervision. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for while you're away! I am a stay at home mom to two boys, so we have plenty of time to take care of your pet as if they are our own! I make sure they have a cozy place to relax, and I make sure they feel loved. I spend time giving them attention, playing with them, and making them feel safe. To us, every pet is part of the family, and I want them to always feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed & at home. My home has a secure fenced yard for supervised outdoor play & bathroom breaks, along with plenty of time for attention, play, and affection. My goal is for your pet to always feel safe & comfortable while you are away!

About: I have a genuine love for animals and have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to provide personalized care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience caring for puppies all the way to senior pets. In addition to pet sitting, I am also a foster for a local animal rescue. Through fostering, I have gained experience working with dogs from a variety of backgrounds including shy, anxious and special-needs pets. When your pet is in my care, they will be treated like a member of my own family, receiving of plenty of love, attention, playtime and affection. I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule so I am available to provide the consistent care that your animals need throughout the day. I have dogs of my own that are very friendly and love to play with the other animals that we care for when pet sitting. I also have a fenced in back yard as well as a front area that is fenced in so your animals have room to run and play while being safe and secure.

“Victoria and Charles were kind and welcoming as always and Buttercup always leaves their place so happy. They are lovely and treat my baby like their own. I can't thank them enough ❤️”

“Duke and I had the best experience with this wonderful family. They sent me photos or videos every day, walked him daily and you could just tell he was very welcomed. This was a very clean safe environment and Duke was immensely happy.”

About: Hi! My name is Candice, and I have over 25 years of hands-on animal care experience, along with volunteer experience with an animal rescue organization. Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion, not just a job. I have extensive experience caring for: • Dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments • Horses, cows, pigs, and chickens • Rabbits, hamsters, and gerbils • Birds • Reptiles, including chameleons • Freshwater and saltwater fish My rescue background has given me strong skills working with shy, anxious, senior, and special-needs animals, as well as pets that need extra patience, structure, and reassurance. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has been a consistent part of my life for over 25 years. I structure my schedule to allow dedicated time for walks, drop-ins, feeding routines, playtime, and check-ins so each pet receives attentive, unrushed care. Throughout the week, I prioritize reliability and flexibility to accommodate different pet schedules, whether that means morning walks, midday visits, evening care, or overnight stays. I also build in time for communication and updates so pet parents feel informed and confident while they’re away. Because animal care is something I genuinely enjoy, it’s not something I “fit in” — it’s something I intentionally plan my day around. My care approach is always tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. Whether I’m caring for pets in a client’s home or providing drop-ins and walks, I focus on consistency, safety, and creating a calm environment. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, litter or habitat maintenance, exercise, and enrichment. I respect the home as if it were my own and aim to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident while they’re away. During walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, awareness of surroundings, and positive interaction. Walks are customized to the pet’s energy level, and visits include playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, feeding if needed, and companionship. With over 25 years of experience and animal rescue volunteer work, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all temperaments, as well as small animals, reptiles, and farm animals when needed. My goal is always to provide reliable, compassionate care so pets feel comfortable and loved in their familiar environment.

“Stephanie is incredibly kind and the perfect sitter for our Boston terrier! Her home was inviting and so clean. This is the person you want watching your dog! We will use her again next time we book on Rover.”

“Billie Jo was truly exceptional, an absolute dream to work with! From the start, her professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for animals gave us complete peace of mind. She went above and beyond in caring for our fur babies, treating them like her own. We received thoughtful updates every morning and evening, along with adorable photos throughout the day that made us feel so connected while we were away. It's rare to find someone so attentive, reliable, and compassionate. We've already booked Billie Jo for our next trip, and we feel completely confident knowing our dogs will be in such capable and caring hands. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Phenomenal job! My Buddy had so much fun playing with their dogs and I was sent regular updates. Great communication!”

Summer J.

“Definitely my go to pet sitter for Dolly, my 3 month old Australian Shepherd. Dolly absolutely loves it there, and Jennifer sends the best pictures and videos. Her and her husband are absolutely awesome, and their dog is great with Dolly who is as energetic as they come. I won't even think about using anyone else now!”

Joshua S.

“Katie was awesome with our Kingsley! Very organized, kept us updated throughout the trip, and posted lots of photos while we were gone. He had an absolute blast! We will definitely be back!”

Rachel M.

“Can not praise Derek and Jenn enough, they took care of our very nervous little Jack ( this little chap had a sad start in life and never really knew that humans can be ok) and they let him see how great people can be. Had daily pictures and updates, I never worried once whilst on our holiday, he looked more relaxed every day. Thank you both, I know we will be happy to have Jack stay next time we are away.”

Tracey M.

“Chipper did great at Gabrielle’s home. She kept me informed on how he was doing with his new buddies. I really appreciate the extra love she showed him.”

Rebecca C.

“Thank you again Heather for taking such good care of Gizmo! He is so excited to get to stay at your house and enjoys playing with all of his furry friends there. 😁”

“Nicole is AWESOME! She is so accommodating, doing whatever she can to meet your dog's needs/schedule. She truly is an answer to prayer. We have a 14-month old Pyrenees mix, who can be difficult to handle, and this was the first time we have boarded her. After meeting Nicole and her husband, I knew we had found the perfect boarder. She sent pics and videos, assuring me that Bella was doing great. Boarding with Nicole allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away, knowing that Bella was being well cared for. We have def found our forever boarder, thanks SO much!”

Deb A.

“We have a Doberman and he was very comfortable with Jenny from the start. She sent pictures and updates, which is always nice. When we picked him up, he was a happy boy.”

About: I was an accredited dog trainer with Petsmart. Now I am a veterinary assistant in school to be a veterinary technician. I have kennel experience and I foster dogs from rescues and shelters. I begin my new job July 6th so I am open to board/house sit/train. I will be working 8am-5pm at the local animal shelter as the veterinary assistant. So I can also train dogs after work. I was the dog trainer at Petsmart I also worked home health care for many years. I was a cna for 16 years prior to switching to dog training. I had a change of heart and decided to change to the career I wanted to do the most which was work with dogs. I am a dog trainer and we can do in home training or meet at the park for training. No flexi leads we can use a 20 foot training leash if having room to run is an issue for you.
