“Dani was amazing! She had everything already set up to welcome little Blueberry into her home. She was sweet and kind. Blueberry was instantly right at home. Dani took great care of her and sent pictures every day. I will definitely be leaving Blueberry with Dani again when I go out of town!”
“Danielle and family took such great care of Oscar. He spent his days going on walks, playing outside, snuggling/cuddling, and hanging with his new best Nyla. He can’t wait to see his friends again. Danielle was amazing with Oscar and is a great communicator sending photos/videos and updates.”
“Madison is so sweet! She and her mom care for the dogs and you can tell they love animals. She sent pictures and they loved it there. There were some changes in the schedule and she went out of her way to communicate and accommodate the situation. We feel relief knowing our girls are safe and well cared for!”
“We have completed another visit. Everything went smooth as expected, Rebecca and Michael did a great job keeping us informed through the stay and plent of pictures of them having fun. For real, of you need a sitter they are an absolutely top notch sitter.”
About: For the past 12 years, I have been training dogs and managing doggie daycares. My main focus over the past 5 years has been getting deeper into the training community, working for local organizations and shelters training service dogs for veterans and opening my dog training company, Palms and Paws Dog Training, LLC. I also have experience in insulin injections and medication in both dogs and cats. My schedule is currently wide open and very flexible! I am able to do new drop in visits, walks and boarding both in my home and at your home. I am married to my wife and currently live in an apartment on the second floor. I have a 14 year old male cat and a 12 German shepherd that get along great. I have done board and trains in the past where dogs came to my home to train so I am familiar with crating and rotating and understand the importance of daily walks and enrichment. I have worked at and managed multiple boarding facilities and am very familiar with all dogs needs both inside and outside of the home as well as their physical, emotional and mental needs. I am equally as passionate about cats and am more than happy to take the time they need to build trust.
“Stephanie and Justin are very kind people who made us feel comfortable and assured our pup would be loved and cared for. We recieved daily updates and pictures of Junior having a great time playing with their pup. We appreciate your great care and would definitely recommend you both to other people looking to Rover!!!”
“Maria is fantastic! Our dog John warmed up to her right away. Communication was excellent, and we feel so lucky to have found such a great sitter for our guy. Thank you Maria!”
“We are repeat clients and are very grateful for the extra attention and care that Taqueria and her family gave Riley when she became unwell during our out of town trip. She is definitely a patient, caring and responsible!”
“Our pup stayed with Kelly and Jim after several other Rovers in the area, and they are far and above the best! Kelly was very thorough in understanding our dogs needs and tendencies before he even was dropped off. We received updates on a daily basis and we could tell our dog was being well taken care of. They will be our first choice again in the future!”
“Tannia and Chris were spectacular with Shiraz! She acclimated in no time, they showered her with affection while also respected her space as she grew used to them. She was at home and jumping up to sit on their laps in no time. Tannia kept me up to date all the time, sent me pictures and video and was available to chat or talk whenever I reached out. I felt like we left our pup with friends who loved and cared for her the way we would have. Their dog Domi is a sweetheart too. I will definitely be a repeat customer whenever I need to board Shiraz overnight!”
“I needed a person who was going to welcome my fur baby into their home and treat them as it was their own pet. Daisy went above and beyond the call of duty with Gizmo. Daisy is from now on the person I will contact to care for my dog.”
“I normally always have so much anxiety about leaving my fur baby but I’ve left him with Sheila twice now and I’ve felt at ease. She’ll definitely be my go-to from now on.”
“Jonathan did a fantastic job with my dog. My dog had so much fun. He was regularly sending us pictures and videos of my dog. He took care of my dog as if it were his own. I will leave my dog with him for all my future trips.”
“We are so grateful to Anolan for taking such amazing care of our two dogs, Maisy and Hendrix, this past weekend while we made a last-minute trip to New Orleans for the birth of our niece. From the very beginning, Anolan was incredibly kind, patient, and responsive. She sent us updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our doggos were both happy and in good hands. Maisy and Hendrix absolutely loved her (and her sweet dog, Benji, who they got to go on walks and play with!), and they were clearly spoiled with love and treats. Anolan’s boyfriend was also great with them, and it was heartwarming to see how comfortable and relaxed our pups were in their care. We ended up being delayed in picking them up, and Anolan was nothing but understanding and gracious about it. We would 1000% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. Thank you again, Anolan—you’re the best!”

Sarah was professional, friendly, and reliable! She was able to accommodate a shifting the pick up time due to flight delays and it was awesome to have Abby in a home with a loving family where she was loved and cared for. I will be utilizing Sarah boarding services in the future!
I was happy to find Leanna to care for our 14 yr old little man while we were away for 11 days. She was attentive to some eye care he needed and took him to a vet appt that was necessary. He ate well after a day of moping and was in good spirits and happy to see us when we came to pick him up, which was a good sign he adjusted well during his stay. Leanna kept us updated daily on how he was doing, so we did not have to worry about his care. We will be using Leanna again and I recommend you do as well.
This is the first time I've left my dogs with Lorrie and I'll admit to being a little nervous. I was worried because my dogs get to come to work with me and are never alone for more than three or 4 hours at a time. Additionally, we were going to be gone 9 days and be out of the country. Finding someone who would take the dogs for that long was a bit of a challenge. Lorrie was very understanding and we had a meet and greet in her home so my dogs could meet her dogs. Note: she's got a beautiful fenced in backyard! Once that meeting went well, I booked a short afternoon stay so that my dogs could become more familiar with her and her dogs. They seem to have a good time so we confirmed our big trip. After we dropped the dogs off and all throughout the time we were gone, Lori sent pictures and on one occasion a short video. That communication was very much appreciated. When we got back and picked the dogs up she had given them a bath and had them ready to go. Thank you, Lorrie, for providing a safe and fun environment for our dogs. I would highly recommend you.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
