“Buddy loved being at Jose’s house!! He was treated extremely well. I had to fly to FL for a funeral and Jose was able to not only pick Buddy up, but also dropped him off home when I returned. I think he got more exercise than he has in years (he’s 15!). Jose sent me pictures updating me on how he was doing. I will definitely use Jose’s services again. Thanks so much!!”
“Monica and Joseph sends daily pictures and videos of our fur baby playing with her other dogs and cat. Clean house and pays attention to detail. We could never have anyone else watch our baby when we are not able to bring him with us. Book, Book, Book!! You will not regret it!”
“Mariah and her fam were so awesome with Rhea! They were attentive and made sure to keep me updated with pics/ videos and messages. The whole family was warm and receptive! I will def rebook whenever we’re in town again!”
“Noel was incredibly accommodating, especially considering our last-minute request. She kept us informed and shared lovely pictures of our fur baby throughout his stay. He appeared so happy and relaxed! Thank you for everything!”
“Sheree was a great dog sitter while we were out of town. She kept us informed of everything via texts, pictures, and videos. It was very calming knowing that our pup was in good hands while we were out of town. I highly recommend her services if you need an experienced dog sitter! She is absolutely phenomenal”
“Rocco is a five month old puppy. He has a lot of energy. Joy and Dan did a great job. My dog was very happy. Joy and Dan sent updates and pictures on a regular basis. I picked him up and I felt they did a wonderful job and provided a great experience. I highly recommend Joy and Dan as they provided my dog a safe and very good experience. It made me feel at ease, leaving him with them.”
“Ms. Bernice was available on short notice to sit for me. She has plenty of room for active dogs to play, sent great photos during his stay, and Cheddar was also a great playmate so my dog had plenty of fun! We will definitely be seeing her and Cheddar again soon! Thank you!?”
“Doris was fantastic! She sent lots of pictures during the 5 nights she kept Bruno. While in her care he decided that he wasn’t going to eat his food that I left with her. Besides trying to hand feed him, she also cooked for him! I will 100% trust her to care for him again!”
“Kaneishia is an amazing sitter. Our dog, Phoebe, boarded at her house for about a week. Phoebe is a super shy and protective dog so she was not having it at the beginning. By the end she seemed to really enjoy her time at Kaneishia’s. Phoebe is the type to bark and growl at strangers but after a few days I saw pictures of her opening up and even getting belly rubs from kaneishia. My dog had an overall pleasant experience! Kaneishia is easy to communicate with, sending pictures and messages for updates all the time. She is a very kind, nice, and layed back person ? she’s able to get her dog, my dog, and another to be ok with each other. She’s good at what she does, definitely recommend! Thanks Kaneishia! ?”
“My dog Sadie loves to go to Eleanor's home. She prances right in. Eleanor is always responsive if I contact her while I am away. Often I will get pictures of Sadie hanging out or playing. It is as though she is part of the family. The large fenced yard and comfortable home allows Sadie to have fun, get exercise and feel right at home”
“Emmitt had a good time with Mandy and her family. Her house was perfectly set up, great yard. Daily updates with photos. Emmitt had a lot of playtime and exercise. First time using Rover, I feel like Mandy was the right caretaker for my pet. She made us feel comfortable and I would definitely use her services again.”
“So glad I found Cassidy! I never used Rover before and had to leave my pup for a week. My dog hasn’t been boarded / away for that long in a very long time and Cassidy made her feel right at home. I received frequent updates and pics and Cassidy was even able to come pick my pup up and drop her off. Highly recommend her!”
“From the pictures I received I can tell my Annabelle had a really good time. She even met her first cat (that I know of because she is a rescue) and it looked like they got along fine.”
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Currently, I care for two of my own—Sparky, my sweet 13-year-old Bichon Frise, and Shelby, my playful 1-year-old Miniature Goldendoodle. Having both a senior dog and a young, energetic pup has given me a wide range of hands-on experience, from managing health needs and gentle senior care to keeping up with puppy energy, training, and teething phases. In the past, I also cared for an American Pitbull Terrier for 5 years, and over the years I’ve looked after many dogs for friends, neighbors, and family members. Some of the breeds I’ve worked with include Chihuahuas, Beagles, Golden Retrievers, Pomeranians, and a variety of lovable mixes. Every dog is unique, and I truly enjoy getting to know each one’s personality and quirks. Whether they’re shy or outgoing, young or elderly, I’m patient, gentle, and always happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. I’m usually available Monday through Friday, which means I have plenty of time throughout the day to walk, play with, and care for your pup. Whether they need a midday stroll, some company while you’re away, or just a little extra love and attention, I’m happy to be there for them. I’m home often, so I’m able to keep a close eye on the dogs and make sure they’re always safe and cared for. While my yard is open and unfenced, I never leave dogs outside unattended—they’re always on a leash and supervised, with access to a sunny, enclosed sunroom for extra comfort. For smaller dogs, I have a crate available if preferred by the owner, and I’m also able to provide transport in case of a vet emergency. My home is stocked with cozy blankets and toys that are always available for dogs to borrow and enjoy. Located in a quiet, beautiful area, the home offers plenty of space to explore, bird- and squirrel-watching opportunities, and nearby parks for peaceful outings. The spacious living room and multiple rooms allow for safe separation if needed, ensuring every dog feels comfortable. Most of all, your pup will enjoy peace, safety, and lots of love while in my care.
“Jess was great! Very responsive with clear communication. Lucy was spoiled rotten with snuggles and outside time. Jess sent tons of pictures and kept us updated with how Lucy was getting along with her friends. She even dropped her off at our house at the end of the puppy slumber party. Highly highly recommend!”

“Nikki has been excellent with our energetic German Shepherd! He loves going to her place, enjoys the other dogs, horses and large area to run and explore. I feel 100% comfortable leaving our dog with Nikki and her family. Lots of pics and videos prove our boy has a great time there!”
