“Wow - Anna was an amazing sitter! We were a little nervous leaving our pup (Uki) with a new person, but right from the start, we knew she was in for a great experience. Even before we booked, Anne agreed to have my husband come to her house to allow Uki to get acclimated/make sure it was a good fit. My husband instantly felt at ease with Anne and had no concerns leaving Uki with her. During our vacation, Anne sent us daily photos and *the most adorable* daily status updates on how Uki was doing. She went out of her way to make Uki special treats, accommodate her dietary preferences, allowed her on her sofa, and took her on long walks, and showered her with attention. Honestly, I imagine Uki was a bit sad to leave! We are so grateful to Anne for her attention to our pup and would rebook with her in an instant/recommend her to all our friends. Great first experience with Rover!”
“Kelly and Brandon are fantastic sitters - I couldn’t ask for them to do anything differently. My pup was safe, well cared for, and tired out by all the fun she was having.”

“Michele is a very warm and caring person. She took our dog on several walks and was very attentive during his stay including him as part of the family. She also provided daily updates. I will be using her soon because our dog was well cared for and she is a pleasure to work with.”

“Jennifer and her husband did an amazing job taking care of our pup while we were on a two-week vacation. Jen would send me pics every day so I could see all the fun he was having! He really was on a wonderful vacation of his own! I highly recommend Jennifer!!”

“Katie & Kristen and their family were amazing with my buddy, Pops! He felt so at home the second Katie opened the door for drop-off. I can't recommend them enough for taking care of your furry friend ❤️❤️”


“Erin and family were so welcoming to our puppy and made us feel very comfortable leaving him for 2 nights. They sent pictures, updates and videos and it was a great experience overall. We would definitely have our puppy stay with them again in the future. Their dog was super sweet and good with pup.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and now have an 8-year-old Golden Retriever. He’s getting a little older but we still enjoy walks around the neighborhood and running around the yard. We like having dog guests to hang out with. I’ve watched dogs for friends and family over the years and enjoy having them around the house. I only host one dog at a time (or multiple dogs from the same family). I can provide daycare and overnight stays in my home. Can be flexible with start and end times and can include pick-up or drop-off, if near by. Your dog’s safety and comfort are the priority here. I only take one dog at a time (or multiple from the same family) to ensure a relaxed environment for the dogs and for me. I work from home, so the dogs are rarely left alone, and they’ll have regular access to a fenced yard, walks, and time to relax inside. I try to keep things low-stress and stick to your dog’s normal routine as much as possible, whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, crate preferences, or exercise needs. My dog is friendly, and comfortable around other dogs, but I always prefer slow introductions to make sure we'll be a good match. I’m happy to send updates and photos during your dog’s stay so you know how they're doing
“Beth was so good with my 11-year-old dorkie! She responded quickly to my booking request and when I took Zoey over for a pre-meetup, I could tell Zoey already liked Beth. She’s normally a pretty low energy dog, but with Beth, she looked happy and got a little spring in her step! Beth sent me videos and pictures while I was gone and I could tell Zoey was in good hands. With how happy she was, I didn’t think she was going to want to come home with me! Thank you Beth for taking such good care of my baby! I will highly recommend you to everyone looking to board their fur baby!”


“If there were 6 stars, I’d give it to Anthony. Our dogs absolutely love going to him for boarding. They get to play with other dogs and run around outside in a controlled, fenced area. They are fed well and lives during the entire stay. If you are looking for the best care possible, don’t hesitate to book with Anthony.”

“Laura was the best sitter ever! She sent pictures along with daily updates every day. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Leaving my dog with Laura was the most comfortable I have ever felt with anyone ever. Thank you Laura!”

“Catherine was wonderful with my 1-year-old puppy, Waymo. She did a great job helping him feel calm, comfortable, and right at home. Waymo came home very happy, and I could tell he was well cared for. Thank you, Catherine, for taking such good care of him!”

“Our dog Rudy is usually very nervous around strangers, but Ariana and Yogi really put him at ease. I was so impressed to see how well he warmed up to Ariana and how well she handled his schedule and medications. I really appreciated all the updates and how Ariana treated Rudy with genuine affection. Yogi is such a sweetie! After I picked up Rudy he was relaxed, but happy, a very good sign!”

“This was our first time using a service like this. I felt so comfortable leaving our dog with Erin and her husband. I appreciated updates and photos showing how much fun he was having. You can tell they both are great dog owners and true dog lovers. I can tell our dog was loved and cared for while we were away. Thank you so much!”

“Winston always enjoys his time with Teresa. Teresa takes excellent care of him and sends lots of pictures and updates. Teresa was available on short notice to help us out during an unexpected event. So appreciated. Thank you!”

“jasmine was a lifesaver! We had a last minute sorter cancellation and my family was leaving town for a family weekend. Copper had the best time with her and blossom! Cannot recommend enough!”

“Teresa and her husband were especially attentive to our dog. They took care of her as she was their own. We are so appreciative to have someone so caring. Thank you being there when our dog needed you the most.”

“Amie was great with Hobbes. He was so well cared for and all her family pets helped Hobbes feel right at home. We will be back the next time we go on a trip and need a someone to watch Hobbes. Thanks for the great care.”

“Ashley was wonderful while watching my very energetic mini poodle!! She sent great updates and photos while I was out of town. My boy clearly felt right at home and I’ll definitely plan on working with Ashley again!”

“Holland was an amazing dog sitter for Diablo! I was really comfortable leaving Diablo in her care while I was at work. She sent regular updates and photos, which I really appreciated. It was so nice knowing how Diablo was doing and seeing him having a good time, especially since he seemed to really enjoy playing with her dog, Pidge. She was also so kind and attentive; she even gave him his meds when he got anxious, which was a huge relief. I could tell she genuinely cared about Diablo's well-being.”

Patti was wonderful with Ghost! She provided regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She also took the time to let Ghost meet her pets, which I really appreciated. It’s clear Ghost had a great stay and felt comfortable in her care—I think he’s already looking forward to his next visit!

Rebecca was the best sitter we have ever had. She and her family genuinely loved and cared for Baxter. She provided awesome updates on his activities and interactions. We knew Baxter was well cared for and truly enjoyed his time there. I would highly recommend booking Rebecca for your next dog boarding.

Stephanie and her family were absolutely incredible! We had a vacation for 10 days and our pups moved right on in and made themselves at home at Stephanie’s house. We got updates and photos daily and could tell our dogs were very well taken care of and having so much fun! We will absolutely use Stephanie every time we need a dog sitter and would 1000% recommend to anyone looking to leave their animals with a trusted family.

Marija is fantastic! We were a little worried leaving Bella for the first time, but Marija was so reassuring. She sent the best daily updates, and seeing Bella so happy in the videos made our trip stress-free. It’s clear Bella loved her stay. We can’t wait to use her services again!
