“Ellen and John were super responsive and gave me updates on my two dogs that they kept for the weekend. They sent photos snd let me know how the dogs were doing. Drop off and pick up was a breeze. Dogs seemed very happy, that made me happy! Thanks Ellen and John!”
“Thank you so much Yan L, for taking such great care of Aspen during her 8 night stay. Everything went great and I really appreciated the regular updates. I highly recommend her!”
“Echo had a great stay with Stacey. She provided updates throughout the day and gave me a good report when I went to pick him up. She has a huge backyard that I know Echo loved. We look forward to booking again with her in the future.”
“Polina is a nice intelligent person. I highly recommend her. I left my puppy for 9 nights and Polina kept in touch all the time about how my puppy is and what my puppy is doing. She really takes good care of my puppy, by walking him every 3 hours and feeding him as I asked her to. When I came to pick the puppy up, I found that the puppy was very happy, vitally joyful, and very active.”
“Kristen was great to work with and very responsive. This was my first time using a Rover and she made the process very easy! She sent lots of pictures while we were away (she had him for a week!) and my pup had a great time playing with her dog. Thank you for taking great care of him (and us!).”
“Christine and Matt were great! Delilah clearly had a great weekend with them and was very comfortable in their home! Christine and Matt were very flexible with plans and maintained excellent communication. Highly recommend, we will be using them again! Our dog has new best friends!”
“This is our dogs second visit to Dan and Teresa’s. They are very communicative and accommodating to what our dogs need. Our dogs were very happy and welcomed as if they were a part of the family. We have been extremely satisfied and will continue to drive a little farther to have our dogs be taken care of by Dan and Teresa.”
“I had a surprise hospital stay and needed to find a safe place for Minnie for a week. Leah and her family were so cooperative, sent pictures every day along with some delightful comments. And she was so good to accommodate an early drop off and a few extra days. Such a nice home. Minnie went right to Leah which doesn't happen often so I knew she was in the right place. Will definitely use Leah again...it was a relief not to worry about my Zen pup.”
About: Hi Neighbors, I am a Natural World Enthusiast looking to provide support to pets and their owners in the community. My heart is geared towards animals. I have decades worth of experience caring for dogs, cats and other small pets, from my own to friends and clients in the professional setting. My goal is to provide a sense of physical, mental, and emotional well being for your pet. I am here to help fill in the gaps in your busy schedules and be there. So whether your pal needs a hike, walk around the neighborhood, a feeding, medication dose (dogs and cats) or just a visit, I have your back. We all need movement, attention and praise, pets included. I use positive reinforcement as training method, for all pets at every stage. So whether you have a puppy with some aggression issues, a husky that needs a run, a diabetic cat, fish to be fed and admired, or an stinky old man dog that just needs to be sung to and told he's a good boy I am here to serve. I have two cats personally, they run the household and tell me what to do. They eat twice a day, get their boxes cleaned daily, and petted and played when they decide. Monday- Thursday I am available for pet visits from 10:30-2:30 and again from 5-9 pm Fridays - I am available from 10:30-1:00 for visits Weekends-vary During daycare hours I will always be in the home with your pet unless we are going on an outing together. Play, snacks, walks, songs, and naps will be provided daily. I do have two cats, who will probably stay out of the way, but cat friendly creatures are always preferred.
“Georgianne was a wonderful sitter for my anxious lil pup! She sent photos regularly of Sadie Mae playing with her pup Penny and just lounging around. I will be using her again! :)”
“We had a fantastic experience with our dog sitter Viviane this past weekend! She took wonderful care of our two golden doodles, Brody and Wynston and they had a blast playing with her sweet dog, Scout. Communication was excellent—she kept us updated throughout the weekend and sent lots of great pictures, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pups and made sure they felt comfortable and happy. We couldn’t be more pleased and would absolutely trust her to watch them again!”
“Yakelin is a miracle worker! She was not only available last minute, but was expertly qualified to handle our 2 husky puppies! The most impressive part is that they came back even more well behaved than when we dropped them off! I wish I could leave 100 stars!!!”
“We have used Donna 2ce now and will use her services again. It is obvious she is a dog lover the minute you step in her home! She is easy to work with and our boy was well loved.”
“Being our first board with our puppy we were very apprehensive. We got numerous photos from Jocelyn a day. Many including her family. Really put us at ease. Definitely would bring her back.”

Mary was great! We were so nervous to leave our pup with someone for the first time, especially because he can be a lot to handle, but Mary made us feel at ease leaving him for a few nights. We knew we made the right decision with Mary when Buzz ran right into her house without so much as a glance back at us. She sent us pictures of her kids cuddling and playing with our pup, and she kept us updated while we were gone. We'd love to book Mary again the next time we go away!
