“I can’t talk more highly about Cindy, Franklin‘s sitter. She treated my Franklin like it was her own dog. I highly recommend her and you will have no worries. She sends updates and pictures.”


“Once again Diana has helped sooo much in our quest for dogsitting services as we complete our multi-move until our hone is ready. Harley cones back revived, rejuvenated and as of today actually now knows the “drop it” command thanks to Diana. I had never had a sitter with their own dog but i can say i will actuakly look for it in the future because i now see the benefit. I would not hesitate to leave my pet in her hands as she is friendly, flexible and extremely pet knowledgeable! Who can ask for more. I also love her pet pics! I just hope we settle close enough to be able to have her sit more often.”

About: I’ve had dogs before, so I’m comfortable managing and caring for them daily. I also grew up around about 16 dogs, which helped me develop patience, confidence, and the ability to handle different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I understand routines like feeding, walks, supervision, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. During the school year, I’m available before and after school. I leave for school in the morning and return around 2:40 PM, so I’m dependable for afternoon, evening, and weekend care. I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a calm environment for every pet in my care. I follow owner instructions carefully, keep pets supervised, and pay close attention to their behavior and comfort.

“Denise kept great care of our dog Wiley for a very long trip. She went us many photos and Wiley looked like he was well fed and rested. Although Wiley was happy to come home, we get a sense that he wanted to stay for a bit.”

“Deborah and Edmund are a hidden gem that we are so glad we found! We recently moved to the area full time and needed to leave our 1.5 year old pup for a full weekend. We met Deborah and Edmund before the weekend, and immediately trusted they would take great care for our 35 lb mini goldendoodle. They had a dog of their own for 13 years and seemed very comfortable, confident, and competent caring for our dog which helped us not have a worry over the weekend we were gone. They sent us pictures and updates throughout the weekend of a happy pup that only confirmed he was in the best care and being treated like their own. We will absolutely be using Deborah and Edmund for any future boarding needs, and would certainly recommend them to anyone!”
“I was very nervous about Bean staying with someone new especially when there would be other dogs in the house. I asked Kristen a million questions and she answered them all with grace. She sent me multiple updates a day and Bean was having a grand ol time! She paid attention to the instructions provided and even asked before giving her specific treats. My mind was put at ease while I was away knowing Bean was in good hands!”

“Jax had so much fun during his stay with Jared. I didn’t have time to miss Jax because of the constant updates and pictures that Jared sent me. I was so happy with how much attention and love he got. Jax is already looking forward to his next stay!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was as old as I could remember! I love animals and have always had them myself, I know how busy life can be and I’m here to put your worries aside. I love spoiling them, loving them, playing with them, going for walks taking funny and cute pictures I just love dogs they truly are you’re best friend I’m currently not working right now so I’ll have plenty of time to play and go for walks with your pups! And if you need a multi visit a day I’m available for that as well! I’m also available for boarding Sunday-Friday anytime after 2pm! I have a huge field right by my house that we can run and play all we want! I also have the option to crate your dog if he or she is shy/nervous in the beginning. Or keep them in my kitchen gated off until they warm up. I myself have a mini Australian shepherd who is thee bestest boy around town and would love a playmate! Your dog will have a ton of fun getting spoiled by treats, belly rubs, cuddles and have a huge selection of toys and bones to play with!
“a life saver. I went out of town last minute and I so thankful for Jamal and his family opening their home to my babies! I could really tell that the dogs enjoyed themselves and it was really a vaca for them”

About: My daycare is a safe, nurturing space where every pup is treated like family. With attention caregiving, plenty of playtime, and a warm, stress free environment. I currently work part time, which allows me to be flexible and attentive to each dog’s needs. I’m fully committed and can adjust my schedule as needed with the option to be fully available to ensure consistent love and care for every pup. I provide a secure environment built on trust, with attentive supervision, gentle handling, and plenty of comfort so every pup feels happy, relaxed and regulated when you’re away for the day or a trip. Your pup has the option to be in or outdoor with group dogs or alone in a separate large fenced section.
“Leaving Tarrega with Joanne over the weekend was the best decision. She was so accommodating to my 6 month old puppy as she acclimated him with different surroundings while I was away. She made sure he was happy and comfortable in her house. She sent me pictures to reassure me he was okay. Joanne was so sweet. I’ll definitely leave Tarrega with her for future stays.”

“Best and most caring family!!! They took such good care of Beau. They sent so many pics and videos! I don’t think he wanted to leave! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I couldn’t give them a higher recommendation!”

About: I've had pets for the last 15 years. I'm an active dad who loves walks around town with my own dogs, I am more than happy to walk yours also. Our pets are up to date with vaccines and I keep clean water bowls daily. Feel free to reach out to me with your questions, I'll be happy to help. I am a stay home dad and I take pride in running my house accordingly. I'm an active runner and walk ours dogs often so they don't get anxious and i play fetch with them daily x3 at least. I have space for crates while I'm outside walking whichever dog's turn it is in order to guarantee their safety. I have a schedule for feeding times to maintain appropriate weight goals for our pets. I have a fence backyard with space to play fetch so we don't have to find random parks on days that are too hot or too cold. However walks are a must for the dogs social development. Walk time vary depending on age, size and capability of the dog. When I walk a dog, I prefer to put the other ones in crate with a water bowl to guarantee their safety. I keep the AC or heat on according to the season.
“Murphy had a great time at Tylers. We never left him before so we were nervous but we were completely at ease and confident that Tyler would take great care of him. We will definitely book again.”

“We attended a wedding over a weekend and Katherine and John were so welcoming to Zoey! We contacted them for a meet and greet and they were very agreeable. They were accomadating to our quirky schedule and very easy to work with. Zoey had a fantastic time at their home and we enjoyed the photos and updates sent to us . This was our first Rover experience and I’d say it was a success and hope to use Katherine and John again in the near future”

“Kateri is the BEST! I was nervous about boarding our pup at first but I am so glad I did. Kateri provided updates, pictures and video's throughout the entire week we were away. She understands puppies can be a handful and still did a great job with our 5-month old pup Stella. Kateri has a HUGE fenced yard that provided plenty of room for Stella to run, play and of course have fun with Kateri's adorable 2 yr old dog Maze. They had so much fun together. So thankful we found someone so caring. We will definitely be booking again soon. Highly recommend Kateri.”

“Karrie sent me so many pictures, I loved it. She was open and honest to any incidents that happened good or bad, Gray tends to get herself into a few messes and I was notified of them which made me feel at ease and able to trust Karrie. Gray was living the life at her stay. Thank you again!!”

About: I’m a big believer in energy with animals creating a calm loving environment is so important. Always treated my pets like family never as just a pet. I’m a sahm and own my own business which gives me flexibility for visits. I do not have my kids Thursday through Sunday evening so I’m very flexible those days but I am available during the week as well. I make sure they are fed, let out, walked and exercised as directed. Including lots of play and reassurance that they are safe even when their humans aren’t around.
