“I absolutely love the way they care for my dog, they definitely treat him as their own. They are very caring and communicate great with me. I like getting pictures here and there while we are out of town. I will only trust them with my dog from now on.”
“I have used Mark and Vicky multiple times since March. They will treat your dog like their own. Motley loves going over there for slumber parties. I am very attached to my dog. The first time I dropped him off, I cried like a baby. Now I enjoy dropping him off because he really enjoys his time there!! Thanks for treating Mot so well 💙”
“Tiffany was OUTSTANDING!!! My puppy had a ball staying with her, her husband, and the other dogs she had boarding at their home. She was patient with him as he got over his initial shyness, created an atmosphere that made him very comfortable, and even took time to teach him a couple of things (four paws on the ground and how to lessen his inclination to jump on a person when he is greeting them! She also sent videos and pictures to show me how much fun he had and how comfortable she made him (I especially loved the plush cot she created for him! I plan to create one of my own for him!!!!) I love her love of dogs and plan to board him with her in the future!!! Thank you so much Tiffany!!! Gizzmoe appreciated you all as well!!!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog-sitter than Steffani! From the meet-and-greet to the moment our dogs arrived at her home, we knew they were in wonderful hands. Steffani went above and beyond, sending us photos, videos, and detailed updates that kept our minds at ease while we were out of the country. It was such a comfort to see them happy and settled and playing in her yard. She truly treated them like her own, and we could tell they felt right at home. We’ll definitely be rebooking with Steffani for all our future dog-sitting needs!”
“We took our little dog to Mariia for the first time. She kept in touch to let us know how she was doing, and we were very happy with the way she cared for her. We will be using her again!”
“Karin is amazing!!! My boy fit right in at her beautiful home! She has a really great doggie that helped him not have too much anxiety with his mom leaving him in a new place for the day! I highly recommend Karin”
“Michele saved my life, I always take my dog everywhere but for obvious reasons I couldn't go to Cedar Point. I contacted her and she quickly said yes. She walked her and took care of her until the afternoon. She sent me photos so I could check her status with my dog. Highly recommended. Thanks Michele.”
“Swetha was terrific. Provided timely updates on our dog and was very accommodating with any special needs and adjustments to our booking. She allowed us to bring our dog to her home and meet her family prior to our booking date which definitely eased any concerns. I would highly recommend Swetha and definitely will be a returning customer as she provided first class service to my dog and I.”
“Alison was great as usual! She's super communicative and sends photos of Oakley that are always fun to get! It makes me happy to know my dog loves her "vacation" as much as I'm loving mine!”
“Couldn’t be more pleased with the care Stephanie and husband provided for Reese. She sent us pictures and kept us updated the whole time. We will be using Stephanie many more times in the future.”
“First time boarding a dog. Our Pepper can be shy and was initially with Ramona but she was very patient and great with Pepper. More importantly, she shared updates and pictures of how much fun Pepper was having outdoors. That was quite helpful in calming our anxieties about leaving Pepper with someone else for four days. Thank you so much Ramona!”
“Well this was our first time using Rover and a dog sitter. David was absolutely phenomenal and I would not have anyone else watch my dog. He goes above and beyond as a dog sitter. He and his family spent so much time with Chloe. Teaching her some commands, walking her and playing with her instead of locking her in a cage as a kennel would. He sent many videos and pics throughout her stay and it made us feel comfortable that she was in great hands. If 10 stars were the best rating I would give 20 stars. Thank you so much David.”
“Christiana was great! Our two dogs seemed to enjoy their time there & especially loved being able to run around in the backyard! She sent us pictures and updates throughout and was very responsive when I checked in with her!”
“Bridget was so easy to coordinate with and did a fantastic job taking care of Watson for a 3 night visit. Really great communication before and during the stay. Her dogs were super friendly and welcoming of Watson in their space right from the start which gave me good peace of mind while he was there. He literally didn’t want to leave when I picked him up so I think that says it all :) Thanks Bridget!”
“Miranda treated my baby very well, she even gave them swimming pools and sent very funny videos of my dog having a lot of fun, I would definitely hire her again for boarding services, her house is very clean and spacious, she has kittens but my dog is seem to get along very well with them, she was sending me photos and videos all the time, which I appreciate very much, the fact that she is a veterinarian definitely adds a plus, since she surely knows what is good for them, thank you Miranda!”
“Renee and Mark are dog lovers, and made Lola very comfortable during her stay. I appreciated the pupdates and pictures to let me know my baby girl was being well taken care of. Lola will definitely be back! Thanks again :)”
“Andrea was great, she is knowledgeable about dogs and worked with our dog. She was sitting a couple other dogs at the same time and the day I dropped her off , she introduced Daisy to a dog of a similar temperament so Daisy would have a friend. Also we were later than expected getting home and when I asked Andrea said we could pick Daisy up the next morning instead of the night we planned to pick her up.”
About: Big or small, shy or energetic, I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities. I’m an experienced, reliable pet caregiver who treats every pet like family. I currently work part-time from home! I am available for midday check-ins, and evening routines. Some days I am even available for mornings! My schedule is flexible, so I can accommodate most routines with a bit of notice. I can also offer in home day care or overnight stays in my home with enough notice! Your pet will be treated like part of the family in my home! I have 2 of the best Golden Retrievers who love to play. I provide a fun, clean, and pet-friendly space where your dog can relax, play, and feel safe. There’s plenty of room to roam, comfy spots for naps inside and out, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. We have a fenced in yard as a bonus!
About: My family has always had a pack of dogs, varying sizes and breeds. I began walking them when I was 5. We have owned 5 Newfoundlands throughout the years so I am plenty comfortable with XL breeds. Do not be discouraged by my small size! Since many of my dogs have been rescues, I have experience with reactive, anxious dogs and medication administration. Most of my dog sitting experience also included horse farm care, with 50+ horses to care for alongside their dogs and cats. Being pregnant now, I am looking to help walk and check in on your pets while you’re away! I know how hard it can be to trust someone with your pets so I give my best efforts as if they are my own! I am working my own schedule around my horses so my availability is flexible for you and your pets! I will meet your needs and adjust my schedule accordingly. At a client’s home, I will follow instructions exactly and ensure we are on the same page. Whether it includes feeding times, walking path, litter cleaning, medications or crating. I will match the routine you give me! Please do share what cues and rules you want kept consistent, I will happily match you!

Samantha & Griffin W.
“Sami has watched my dogs more than a handful of times and she is my absolute go to!! She has such a natural love for animals, especially dogs, and it shows in every visit (she has 2 of her own!) Any time I’m out of town or need a pop in visit she has been more than willing and genuinely enjoys spending time with my pups! There was one time one of my dogs was not acting normal and she immediately let me know and didn’t hesitate to take him to the emergency vet. Thanks to her quick thinking, he got the care he needed. She went above and beyond, and I’ll never forget that!! Sami is simply the best!”
Lana H.
“Lana has farm sat for us many times and I recommend her to everyone. We have 6 dogs, 6 cats, ducks, chickens, pigs and horses. They all have special feeding and care instructions that typically is overwhelming to most people. She did everything perfectly and on time with no problem at all.”
