“We first met Alyssa during a meet and greet with our dog, Molly. Coming from a rescue center with a difficult past, Molly can be a bit challenging. We’ve been showering her with love, and Alyssa immediately connected with her energy. Throughout the day, she kept us updated with messages and photos, which we truly appreciated. Alyssa, thank you! We’re looking forward to Molly staying with you next weekend.”
“Jennifer is amazing!! It’s my first time using Rover for my puppy and she put all my nerves at ease. She sent daily pictures and updates which I really appreciated. Noodle can’t wait to go back! Thank you again Jennifer!”
“Ralph was incredible!! This was Calvin’s first time being watched by someone he hadn’t met previously and he was super comfortable with Ralph! He slept the whole car ride home to Boston because he was so tired from his two walks & playing. If we are local again, we would definitely rebook Ralph :)”
“Stephanie took great care of our dogs. Great communication, will definitely use again.”
“Kerri was so sweet and accommodating. My pup Nola had a great time, she was exhausted from all the fun she had with Kerri’s dogs (who were also really friendly!) will definitely use Kerri’s services again in the future.”
“My puppy recognized Donna's place when we pulled up and was super excited to get in there. She had a great time and looks to have enjoyed her stay. Thank you so much Donna for taking great care of Tinkerbell.”
“I found out the day before that I needed a sitter for my 8 month old, yet to be neutered, tank of a puppy, Apollo. Having previously left him with only family members, and only a handful of times, we were a little nervous. When we first got there, Apollo immediately seemed to feel comfortable, not even looking back at me. I received photos a few hours in, and when it was time to pick him up, Apollo was trying to climb into a lap (he’s 75 lbs), and was being praised as a love, cuddle bug! Overall positive, seamless experience and I would book again.”
“Maryann was great with Taylor. She walked her twice and hopefully my pup played with hers.”
“Simply amazing!!! Kimberline was flexible with times, and shows how much she cares by asking questions during the day. It’s hard to leave your fur baby with someone else, but it’s such a great feeling when you find someone you know cares! Will never use anyone else! Thank you Kimberline!!!”
“100% would recommend, will start using Charlotte more often, she’s great with Hunter and very reliable”

About: Recently retired and looking to keep busy! I have taken care of animals most of my life. I raised kids & we always had pets. I enjoy most spending my time outside and would love to enjoy it with a pup! I am recently retired and have lots of free time to spend with and caring for your pets! I am available week days and weekends flexibly. I will treat your pets as my own while they are in my care. I’m also happy to assist with house watching responsibilities taking in mail and watering plants.
About: I have nurtured, trained and rehabbed cats, dogs and farm animals for decades and find it incredibly rewarding. I provide a safe and loving environment. I am available for daycare or boarding 24/7, 365 days a year. My services are available year-round and my rates do not increase seasonally or for holidays. I have a 3/4 acre fully fenced yard with secured gates for our 2 dogs. My cats live in the 3 room 'kitty condo' indoors.
About: I’ve taken care of pets of all kinds since I was a child and have always grown up with one. I will treat yours as if it were my own. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to walk, feed or care for your dog overnight or day from Sun-Sat. I live in a studio apartment that is spacious enough for a small/medium sized dog and can easily puppy proof my space or anywhere else they might need.
“Finding Cheri has been a Godsend. This is the first time we've ever needed daycare and we were hesitant to leave Otto with anyone. On top of that we had a few other experiences with people who were unreliable. Cheri, above all else, is a dog lover in every sense of the word. I see it from the way she greets Otto in the morning, to the way that she texts me during the day to tell me whats he's doing or asking if he can do certain things, to seeing how tired he is at the end of the day from a day of full activity. Cheri walks him, takes him on runs and she and her boys play with him in the backyard all day long. I couldn't be happier with everything she does and recommend her highly to anyone looking to find a safe and healthy place to leave their dog with complete peace of mind.”
