About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life! My husband and I both grew up with dogs, and we currently have two Lab mixes, ages 13 and 8. Caring for our senior dog has also given me firsthand experience with the extra patience, attention and slower pace older pups sometimes need. We’re a dog-loving family of four with a large, fully fenced backyard and a dog-friendly neighborhood perfect for walks. I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages, sizes and personalities, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. After 16+ years in the corporate world, an unexpected career change gave me the opportunity to pursue something I’ve always dreamed about—working with dogs! I also have a degree in Operations Management, so reliability, organization and communication are second nature to me. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. My goal is to care for your pup like I would want someone to care for mine—with lots of attention, affection, playtime and updates for you along the way. 🐾 I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to make pet care a priority throughout my day. I’m available for weekday walks and drop-ins, as well as daycare and overnight boarding. Being home gives me plenty of time for outdoor play, walks, potty breaks, snuggles and individual attention. I’m also available many weekends and holidays! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to safely run, play and explore, plus a dog-friendly neighborhood for walks. We have two Lab mixes of our own and will always make sure introductions are comfortable for everyone. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate time and any special instructions you provide. Dogs staying with us will be treated like part of the family, with plenty of attention, outdoor time and love. I’ll also send photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. 🐾

“Jennifer and Eric did a great job taking care of our dog! They are so kind and communicative. I loved receiving photos of Bunny during her stay! It brightened my day while being away from home!”

“Erin is an incredible pet sitter! Buddy can be needy and anxious yet each time he stays with her he quickly becomes comfortable. She went above and beyond when she had Buddy post-surgery and he wasn’t feeling well. She sends multiple updates and pictures to keep us informed and ease our mind about how Buddy is doing. Would highly recommend Erin!”

Caroline M.

“We had such a great experience! She was kind, attentive, and took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand so she could get to know Mochi, his routine, and everything he needed to feel comfortable and at home. He adjusted so quickly, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated on how he was doing and anything that came up, and I felt completely comfortable and confident that he was in the best hands. We would absolutely trust her with Mochi again!”

“Anna gave exceptional care for our 2 large Goldens! I received daily updates and photos of my happy and comfortable boys !!This was not their first stay with Anna as she is the only sitter I use!! We all love her!!”

Tammy F.

“Dezi loves Colleen and Joe and Nico. He ran to Colleen when we arrived to drop him off and was immediately right at home. They send us pictures and updates and take the best care of him.”

Kelly L.

“I would definitely recommend Kari! My dog stayed with her and her family for 3 nights and they took great care of him! I had no concerns and there was great communication and picture updates!”

Julie W.

“The whole family loves animals and knows how to keep a happy calm household. The fenced in yard has shade and places to play and explore. The human family can watch the canine family through the patio door too.”

Linda S.

“Michelle was great. We weren't sure how our 14 year old dog would handle being separated from us for several days as he had never been anywhere without us in all those years. With Michelle it was a piece of cake. Stoney had super care and no issues. Would definitely have her care for our dog again.”

Bruce B.

“Kristen took amazing care of Stormy while we were away camping. For my first time using Rover I was nervous and didn’t know what to expect. We got daily updates with pictures. The dogs played together like they’ve known each other forever. Kristen will be the first person I reach out to anytime we need someone to take care of Stormy!”

Emily R.

“Davis and Emma did a great job with my dog for the weekend! Very responsive with lots of pictures. Ayda looked like she had a great time, and I would definitely rebook with them!”

About: Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies and senior dogs with special needs. I have experience administering oral medications and providing compassionate care for senior dogs with hearing and vision impairments. I understand the extra patience, consistency, and gentle attention they need to feel secure. I work from home three days a week, which allows me to provide plenty of companionship, supervision, and personalized attention throughout the day. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine, so your dog will never feel like an afterthought. Whether it's regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply relaxing together, I'm able to give each dog the time and care they deserve. My flexible schedule helps me maintain a consistent routine, ensuring your pup feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Although I do not have a fenced in yard, I do have plenty of green space for your dog to do their business or run around for exercise. I am able to take them for walks around the neighborhood or relax and chill on the couch.

“Betsy was amazing! We had never taken our dog to a non-friend or family member's house, so we were a little nervous, but it is obvious that our dog had a ton of fun, and was welcomed into Betsy's home like a member of the family. She sent a picture everyday, which totally put our minds at ease. We will 100% be contacting her to hang out with our pup in the future.”

“Thank you so much for taking care of our sweet Ponyo and administering her meds as well as feeding her, her extended bland diet. The updates and pictures eased our anxiety since this was our first departure from her.”

“I had a wonderful experience with Dave & Shawna. They were very enthusiastic and communicated excellently throughout the stay. I received daily updates with pictures. My corgi (Winston) had such a great time, he did not want to come home. 10/10 would recommend and book again.”
