“As always, Tim and Lisa are amazing with your furry child. Bailey always enjoys her stays and we highly recommend bring your furry child to them. Their family will treat them as their own.”
“Our Bichon, Jeffrey loves his Aunt Patti! When we dropped him off, he made himself right at home without a look in our direction! He celebrated Thanksgiving with Pat and her family, again making himself at home sitting on the couch with her soon to be son-in-law watching the game! We didn't worry at all about Jeffrey. Pat kept us updated with pictures and adorable videos of his days there! We were able to enjoy a few days with my husband's family for Thanksgiving without a single worry. I know Jeffrey can't wait to see his new family again!”
“Andrew is, without a doubt, the best we've ever used on Rover. We have a sometimes high-energy rescue dog, and Andrew was amazing with him. He was incredibly patient and kind, and he made us feel completely at ease start to pick up. He sent us frequent photo and video updates, showing our dog happy and relaxed, and we could tell he was being treated like family. We highly recommend Andrew and will definitely be rebooking with him for all our future needs!”
“My dog was a little nervous when he got to the house, but Michael did a great job of making him feel comfortable. Once he got running in the back yard with the other dogs I knew everything was going to work out. Michael was a great communicator leading up to the dog sitting and sent us lots of pictures through the day. We would definitely use him again.”
“Patricia took very good care of our doggie that boarded with her. We were lucky to find her on a short notice and lucky that we felt immediately reassured that he would be in good hands. An added bonus was her own sweet and happy dog who became a buddy to ours quickly. I recommend Patricia to anyone looking for a home away from home for their canine family members.”
“Ceecee was AMAZING. I needed a sitter at the last minute and she responded asap and was able to accommodate me. She was so great with koda and so sweet. Koda is a big boy and she took him in with no questions asked and updated me through out the stay. She made sure he felts safe and loved. I would 100% recommend booking with her.”
About: I grew up with dogs since I was born. My own dog, Trip has been with me since I was 18 years old. 2 years ago I adopted my first cat, Mako and fell in absolute love. I am happy to provide your pets the same love and care I do for my own while you are away. I am currently working full-time M-F, 9-4. But i have flexibility to stop home for lunches. I can board at my home anytime with proper consultation and care instructions. I have a 2 bedroom home with small fenced in yard. As well as a friendly dog and cat to keep your loved companion at ease.
“Lisa took wonderful care of my Honey. She kept me updated with texts & pictures. She took Honey on lots of walks, and even did an art project with Honey which she gave to me. I was very nervous having never left my Honey with anyone except my daughter. Lisa exceeded my expectations and I will be using her again and again! I am thrilled to have found Lisa! And I highly recommend Lisa!”
“Kathleen was great. She kept us updated each day of our trip how Charlie was doing and sent pics of him. Highly recommend her for watching your pet! It was so nice knowing he was being taken care of properly while we were away! Will definitely rebook in the future! Thanks Kathleen!”
“Kim was amazing! My dog is a little anxious and has some quirks, it’s a little hard to gain her trust but Kim definitely did! We got pictures throughout the stay and she was extremely nice, I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Valerie was exceptional. This was our first time leaving Finn in someone else's house. She took him in with such ease and we totally trusted her. He love running in the back yard. Would highly recommend Valerie.”
“First time using Rover. Sterlin put me at right from the start. She sent me pictures of my dogs and always responded to me right away. I will definitely use her again.”
“I’m so happy that my Millie and I found Marci! First of all, Marci responded to my request almost immediately. Second, her communication up until drop off and then during Millie’s 2-night stay was exceptional. It was the first time my dog had spent a night away from me (she is 5) so I was a bit nervous. Marci sent pictures throughout the day and let me know exactly how Millie was doing. My dog looked so happy and content running in the yard and snuggling inside their home. I’m grateful to have found a wonderful family with a sweet little dog of their own. Will definitely be re-booking!”
“James took such good care of my weim boy! My boy isn’t always the easiest dog to handle, and he can be high maintenance, and James made it seem like he was a breeze! Quickly Responsive, followed any/all care instructions. So happy to have peace of mind knowing my dog is well taken care of when he is there.”
“Cindy was very nice and welcoming. She provided photos and updates of Louie, and he seemed to have enjoyed his stay at her home. I would book with Cindy again.”
“Hasan was fantastic with Chip! He took great care of him and was easily willing to work with my changing schedule. My family and I took week trip down the beach and this was a great way to have Chip close by!!”
“My dog Levi’s stay with Jan was perfect. She was friendly, professional and took such great care of Levi. He had so much fun. I will definitely use her again the next time I’m in the area and need boarding again.”
