“Monique did a truly splendid job. Her communication is informative, clear, quick, and respectful. She was wonderful with our dog Willow, it is so hard to find someone to trust with your pets and I would absolutely trust Monique and hope to use her services in the future.”

“Cyen is great! My very shy pup warmed up to her in no time. The fenced in yard is nice for potty breaks and playing chase. Communication was great, Cyen even sent pictures and updates throughout the day. Highly recommend!”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for more than 30 years, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. Three of my own dogs lived to be 14-15 years old, giving me extensive experience with senior care and age-related health issues. For the past year, I've fostered Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, and various mixed breeds through WAAGR, helping them adjust to new environments, build good habits, and receive the exercise and love they need to thrive. I also play a role in evaluating and selecting adoptive families, one of the most important and rewarding parts of fostering because it helps ensure each dog finds the loving, lifelong home they deserve. What sets me apart is my experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with complex medical needs. Over the years, I've cared for dogs with kidney disease, blastomycosis, chronic ear and skin infections, vestibular disease, and other serious health conditions. I'm comfortable administering oral medications, managing medication schedules, providing subcutaneous fluids, following detailed veterinary instructions, and monitoring for changes in behavior or health. One of my dogs earned the AKC Canine Good Citizen certification, giving me experience with positive reinforcement and reinforcing good manners and routines. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, an energetic adult, a senior needing extra patience, or a pet with special medical needs, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the week. I'm available seven days a week for boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having someone nearby for companionship, I'll make sure they receive the attention, care, and affection they deserve. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. Dogs in my home are taken outside on a leash or a secure tie-out and are closely supervised while outdoors. I work to maintain the routines, rules, and training your dog is accustomed to so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. If your dog is crate-trained, I'm happy to follow that routine when needed, but I don't require crating. Every dog is different, and I'll work with you to understand what makes your pet feel most comfortable and secure. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, I'll provide attentive supervision, follow all feeding and medication instructions, and treat your pet like family.

“Cindy and her family were so kind and took such wonderful care of Jarvis for the day. I am thankful to have found her and appreciate the care and love she gave to Jarvis!”

“Just like everyone else, Teddy and I love her! Great home away from home for your fur baby. ? We’ll be coming back over and over again. I’m pretty sure he would’ve been happy to move right in with her permanently ❤️”

“My 4 month old puppy had a fantastic morning with Auria and her 2 dogs. Elliot was able not only to socializie with adult dogs, but also a soon to be 4 year old grand-daughter. Sounds like my puppy did very well -- now I can add that to his Rover profile!! Auria's dogs did not bark at Elliot when we arrived and were very relaxed, yet full of energy, and friendly to our puppy. I hope that when the need arises we can bring Elliot over again. I wouldn't hesitate to make it a regular dog day care, since it was such a positive experience (for everyone!). Thank you Auria for being available when I was looking for daycare the night before.”

About: Hello families! *please contact me/send a request to discuss multi pet discounts!* I have experience working full time at an animal rescue and have been petsitting and caring for a large variety of animals for the last 15 years. I have fostered many dogs and handled many dogs with behavior concerns. While working in rescue I handled many dogs from human aggressive Saint Bernards and gentle giant Great Danes to shy and fearful Chihuahuas. My personal favorites are high energy young adult dogs! I’ve dealt with dogs with severe separation anxiety and leash/barrier reactivity extensively and being home full time we are able to accept dogs who need special accommodations to be comfortable and happy. My husband and I have four large-xl dogs together who are all now seniors. We also have two horses named Blaze and Boe who we spend a couple hours a day with. I am home full time besides time spent at the barn so I am able to provide focused attention to puppies or senior dogs needing extra care. We live on a corner lot so we have a smaller fenced back yard and a large unfenced front yard. We use the back for potty breaks and play with dogs who do not do well on leash. Visiting dogs get time on a long line in the front yard and walks twice daily. My profile notes no dogs on furniture but we allow small dogs on furniture as long as there’s no significant resource guarding. We have a multi dog household so we strive for routine and consistency even when we are not boarding or having daycare dogs. Dogs are out side at minimum every 3 hours except for overnight but we are always available for more often. Our dogs do well with visiting dogs and they sleep the majority of the day. In my home we feed meals 2 times a day but can add feeding for puppies or other circumstances as requested. We do walks daily or twice daily and offed mental and physical stimulation inside.

About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life and I've had my first (adult life) dog for three and a half year. Wila Rose is an Australian Cattle Dog mix. About a year and a half ago we added another rescue, Buckley Quinn. He is a smart but goofy boy. They both go backpacking with us and we do a lot of hiking on our local public land areas. We enjoy playing around in our yard with our limited dog agility set and learning new tricks. We occasionally go swimming but love jumping and exploring new water areas and hiking trails. Wila and Buckley are a huge part of my life. We enjoy hiking, being outdoor, and traveling as much as possible. We do quite a but of training included but not limited to: agility, scent training, shed training, and just some fun party tricks. I am new to Rover so please feel free to reach out with any questions. I have an acre of land (not fenced in). We love to go on walks and sniffaris at our local parks. Buckley loved to play with other dogs and Wila is more of a people dog. They even loves to go backpacking and hiking which often include 10+ miles a day.

“We had a great experience with Cindy! She was very responsive to me and attentive to Chica. Chica was in no rush to leave. That’s a good sign.”

“Meagan is a 10/10, would definitely recommend!! Meagan is an amazing dog sitter and gives us the peace of mind we needed. Our puppy, Finnegan, runs to her at drop off and has a fun-filled day with lots of indoor and outdoor activity with built in rest time as well. Meagan is extremely mindful and takes the best care of our puppy.”

“I have an almost two week stay booked for my old man puggle. I wanted to do some day visits so he could get used to the changes. She said he did so well and adjusted easily. I am feeling so much more at ease about the stay!! I am so grateful that there are people like her out there.”

About: I have 2 dogs, and can help let your pups out when you’re stuck at work, or can’t get back home! Let them get out and stretch their legs Im free mornings or afternoon! Late nights if need as well!. I have a flex schedule, so with notice, I can make it happen when you need! I have 2 dogs with a backyard. They love playing together. They love the outside and playing, even in the cold. I can come and take care of your dog of any breed or size

“Heather was absolutely wonderful with our little sweet pup. He had a walk, breaks, fun with his ball. Heather was extremely accommodating and flexible. Once you meet her, she outs you at immediate ease. Will happily use her again!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog owner and have often been called a “Deaf Dog Whisperer” throughout my life — a title I happily agree with. I currently have three dogs, including two Deaf dogs and a Deaf Dogo Argentino. I have experience with a wide range of dogs, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes and Mastiffs, including high-energy, Deaf, and special-needs dogs. Being Deaf has strengthened my bond with dogs because we’ve learned to communicate without relying on spoken words. I naturally pay close attention to their behavior, body language, and the little ways they communicate with me. I’ve always had an easy time connecting with dogs and understanding what they need to feel comfortable, safe, and understood. I work from home, allowing me to provide plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day, especially during house sitting. I’m comfortable with different routines, dogs in diapers, baths, basic nail trims, and keeping dogs mentally engaged with puzzles, chews, sniffing, and play. I’m also happy to offer treats with your approval or take your dog for a car ride if they find it relaxing. I follow care instructions closely and often go the extra mile — something my customers and reviews have complimented me on. I treat every home with the same respect I’d want for my own, making sure it’s left the way I found it, or even a little cleaner. Your dog’s routine, preferences, and care instructions are important to me.

“Tuo is reliable, responsive and kind. Benji returns happy. Would book again!”
