“Incredible service and care for our dog. Stephanie is amazing with dogs, and spent her time with Otis training him and having our dogs run around outside to get his energy out. She was so kind and responsive, we’ll continue to use her whenever we can.”


About: As I've gotten older, I've developed a genuine love and appreciation for dogs. Now that my children are grown and living their best lives, I can now focus on my own interests, and I've discovered I truly enjoy the company of dogs. I jump at the chance to care for my friends and neighbor's animals. I believe I get just as much out of it as the dogs and their owner's do. I have plenty of time for your pet as I do not have a 9-to-5 job. I currently walk my own Jack Russell every day and would enjoy doing the same for yours. (It's how I get my daily exercise!) I spend my time teaching my dog tricks from watching YouTube videos which I will happily try to teach yours if you like. I drive a truck and can easily take your pet to the park or the beach. I own different size crates if that is something that is required. Most importantly, I will be there to give your pet love and attention as long as they are in my care.
“I had an amazing experience using Rover for my dog Cielo! He was very well taken care of got plenty of walks, stayed hydrated ,properly fed and I received constant updates the entire time, which gave me real peace of mind. It’s clear they genuinely cared for him like their own. I would definitely book again and highly recommend! 5 Stars!!”
“Gloria’s home was the perfect fit for my dog to spend his day. He had treats, walks, and other pups to play with. She was such a great communicator. From sending pics to asking clarifying questions about his needs - I just knew she cared about him as if he were her own. At the end of the day, that’s what you’re looking for!”

“This was our second day, and I was so happy to see how comfortable my dog became. She has separation anxiety, but today she wagged her tail and walked in calmly, which felt like a huge step forward. I really appreciate the patient, reassuring environment—it made a big difference for her sense of safety. Thank you for taking such good care of her.”

“Kyle and Sara watched Scoobert two days in a row for us and they were amazing. Scoobert gets so excited when we pull up to their house. He runs to their front door and is so happy to see them. Their photos and updates are proof he’s having a good time.. We will definitely have them watch Scoobert again. Thank you for taking such good care of our boy!”

“Danielle was great with my dog Brody! Brody has anxiety and gets worried about new situations so he was anxious but no need to worry, I picked up a very happy dog! Danielle was very caring with Brody and gave him time to settle in. Thankyou so much!”
“I’m glad that Cathy watched my pup. Cathy is definitely someone I will definitely be using again and I think it’s a plus that she has another small pup, so that Sofia can get some socialization. Thanks so much Cathy”

About: I have four years of work experience in a veterinary clinic, and 10 years experience pet sitting for some of my neighbor and friends fur babies.

Walks, feeding, playtime, and hugs are a daily occurrence both in our house and yard, and at the park.
“Aaron and his family are the absolute best! It's an awesome household with a couple friendly dogs in the mix as well. It was my 1 year old dog's first time staying in doggy daycare and he had an absolute blast. Aaron sent multiple picture updates of the fun and took amazing care of my four legged friend. I highly recommend Aaron and his wonderful family when you need your dog to be in good hands while you're away. He'll be my first option the next time my Boston Terrier needs a babysitter. Thanks so much and the great experience is very much appreciated.”
