“Boarding is not the word to describe when leaving your dog in the care of Ruby, and the extra drive to Waterloo was well worth it. I was skeptical dropping my dog off with a stranger, but Ruby reassured me I would be updated and I could contact her.It was very clear from the pictures and texts Hailey was having a mini vacation I have already set up the next stay.I will be telling everyone about the time Hailey had at Ruby's and the video of my dog playing with a goat!”

“Ellen did a wonderful job caring for our dog. She provided updates and pictures throughout the stay, and was extremely prompt and responsive. Our dog had a blast playing with her dogs, and enjoyed her large fenced in yard—I think it was hard to leave his new friends to come home!”

“William was fantastic and my dog had a great time. They went to the park, stayed active, and he sent photos every day. Great experience and I’ll be booking with him again!”

“David did a wonderful job looking after our two dogs for a week who both have very different needs (one arthritic senior spaniel and one active”

“Katy and DJ were great. I could tell our pups were in good hands and getting a lot of love while we were away. The daily updates and pictures were a great bonus.”

“Our mini-dachshund had a great time at Gilian's house over the weekend. Arranging drop off and pickup times was easy and Gilian was very responsive. She is clearly knowledgeable about dog behavior. Our pup was exhausted from playing so hard and slept the rest of the day when we got him home.”

“Our dog is 15, and we were very nervous to leave him. But Natasha was perfect. She listened to what his needs were, sent photos each day to set our mind at ease and was very responsive if we had questions. Highly recommend!”

“Sarah was great! It was my first time using Rover and the first time my dog has stayed at another house on her own. Sarah gave her the extra attention she needed to get her relaxed a bit. She sent pics, got her outside a lot, and took a trip to the dog park!”

“Val is a great host, this was Bella's first visit, definately won't be the last. She had a great time. you can tell they take great care of their doggie guests.”

“Super happy we found Marie! Our dogs had a blast with them! It was really comforting to know that our dogs were being well taken care of and had friends to sleepover with. Highly recommend! We'll definitely be trusting them with our doggies again!”

“Tanya was amazing. We had tried to find a pet sitter for our very anxious/sometimes aggressive dog Millie for a long time, and finally met Tanya. She clearly is very passionate about helping animals feel safe and cared for, and was so compassionate about our poor dog's fears and problems. We did a trial sleepover before our 10-day trip and it went great. When we were on our trip, Tanya sent us frequent updates and videos, showing how well Millie was doing. She replied quickly to our texts and was very reassuring. When we picked Millie up, she appeared well cared-for and fine (or as fine as our dog gets!) We HIGHLY recommend Tanya!”

“Micah was fantastic! Kepler was well taken care of and had a very exciting stay playing with her dogs Teddy and Echo. Micah is very loving and created a very welcoming and fun environment for our pet/baby. We will definitely use her again.”

“Emily was great with our dogs kept us updated on how they were doing and sent lots of pictures. I think the dogs we sad that we came back for them, and that they didn't get to stay longer.”

“Meghan and Jacob were amazing communicators and kept us in the loop with photos and videos daily. They made us feel comfortable leaving our dog with them. They took such wonderful care of our dog!”

“Julie & her family were AMAZING with our girl! We got pictures everyday from their walk & naps. It was such a relief to know our dog was taken care of and in the best of hands. 100% will book with Julie again!”

“Maura was fantastic. She put me at ease when I dropped my dog off for her first boarding experience, which was for 5 days. Maura sent me updates and photos that made me feel that my pup was truly being cared for. Maura is a very sweet and caring person. I would not hesitate in having Maura watch my dog again someday.”

“Kaycee and Robert took great care of my two dogs. They sent lots of updates, and communicated clearly with us. I’d highly recommend them, and will reach out to them when I need someone to watch our dogs again.”

About: I’ve never known a year without a dog! I have two of my own—my oldest is 11 (almost 12), and my youngest is 2 (almost 3). I’ve trained both with basic commands and leash training, so I understand the importance of structure and patience. When I gather with my family, we have 5 dogs! Having a household of pets makes me happy. My pups love making new friends, and your dog will feel right at home with us! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! My mornings start with feeding, potty breaks, and a little playtime before I head to work. After work, I make sure my dogs get plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment, whether it’s a walk, training session, or just some cuddle time. Weekends are for extra adventures, like park visits or longer walks. Caring for dogs isn’t just a task—it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize every day! I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for every pet in my care. In my home, dogs get plenty of attention, playtime, and routine potty breaks, along with a cozy place to rest. I make sure they feel comfortable and included, whether it’s through walks, enrichment activities, or simply lounging with my own pups. I have fenced in yard that provided plenty of space and safety for you fur baby.

“My dog, Sully, had so much fun with Rebekah, Alex, and their toddler and pups! Rebekah sent updates and asked many questions to make sure Sully had the best stay. She was also very flexible and able to accommodate for us at the last minute. Will definitely be returning and Sully can’t wait to visit again!”

“Sierra kept our Cooper at her home while we were away on vacation. Sierra was great to work with, responded promptly to messages, and sent regular updates and pictures of Cooper. Definitely recommend and would book again!”
