“We are so grateful to have found Kim to care for our dog Mochi while we were on a trip! She is accommodating, communicative and kind. We did not have to worry about leaving our dog with her and knew that Mochi would enjoy being around her dog as well. We got lots of pictures and Mochi got lots of exercise and rest too! I would not hesitate to ask Kim for her help in the future.”


“They were so great!! Lika took a ton of pictures and videos of our dog Schnappi through the weekend which totally helped my separation anxiety lol. It made us feel good to see Schnappi playing and napping and knowing he was being taken care of so well. They followed the directions we left for feeding, medication, etc. well and were really communicative. They were able to help us out last minute when our friend had to cancel on dog-sitting, which was amazing. And then when my plane was super delayed Lika was really nice about me being late to pick him up. She also went above & beyond and delivered his food bowls to us after we forgot to bring them home. All around great experience, you can tell they're dog people and I will definitely rebook with them next time we need a sitter.”


“Katherine and her husband were amazing! They immediately treated our dog like part of their family and took such great care of her. From daily pictures and updates, to walks and play time they were just the best! When we need someone to watch our dog in the future, they will definitely be our first choice.”


“Kate was amazing with Max. Her space was clean and welcoming. I think Max had more fun with Kate than he does at home! Will definitely use Kate’s services again and highly recommend her to others.”


“I can’t say enough about Julie-Ann! From the moment that my wife & I met her we felt completely comfortable with her. We used her services twice and both times were very positive experiences. She stayed in touch from start to finish with updates as well as plenty of photos. And she was very flexible with us as we were on vacation and timing wasn’t always easy to predict! Gizmo came home happy and healthy and I would use and recommend Julie-Ann again 100%!! Mark”


“Hannah and Abraham were fantastic! My Aussies were pretty anxious at first but Hannah handled them with knowledge and care, within a few hours she reported they were doing much better. Hannah provided daily updates which kept me at ease too. When our travel plans got delayed coming home, Hannah was happy to care for my dogs an extra 12+ hours til we could make it in. I would highly recommend Hannah, especially if your dogs love the outdoors.”


About: Hello! I'm Holly Heath, and I've been a dog lover my whole life. From caring for my own 12 year old pup to providing daycare and boarding for friends and family, dogs have always been a huge part of my world. I started young, walking a big Akita when I was just 12, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’ve dog sat for a household with six pups, taken a hyper Great Dane puppy on mini adventures, and worked as a dog walker with Homeward Bound Pet Services for two years. I even had a small handmade dog toy business at one point! I’m a total dog person! I love spending time with dogs in a calm, gentle way, and I’m fluent in dog body language. All dogs are my instant friends. These days, I’m offering frequent short walks with laps around the yard if needed and relaxing yard hangouts at my home. I offer daycare and can board up to two dogs at a time. I'm all about making dogs feel safe, happy, and loved. I currently work part-time as a dog walker, so I just need a two-week heads up to request time off. Once that's set, all my focus is on your pup, and I’ll be home with them 100% of the day! There will be plenty of playtime and walks as needed through my beautiful yard. I will have a maximum of three dogs in my home at a time, including my own dog, Rosko. Rosko gets excited when he first meets a new pup but quickly settles into his normal self, a calm, smart, 12-year-old mutt who weighs about 25 pounds. He loves to share his toys, watch other dogs play, and relax with a buddy. He’s very respectful and enjoys simply sitting next to other dogs. He’s also great at reading dog body language. I have a large, three-acre yard with open lawns, gardens, wooded paths, and a babbling brook. Your dog will always be on a leash while exploring, but they'll still get to enjoy peaceful walks and all the wildlife smells. Inside, there are plenty of toys to choose from and cozy spots to lounge. It's nice and cool in the summer, and warm in the winter. I will follow your instructions closely and provide the best, most attentive care possible.

About: My name is Ben and I live with my wife, Laura, in Canaan. I work from home and we are both available as needed throughout the day to provide close supervision, companionship and outdoor time for your pet. We grew up with a lot of pets, and have always loved being around dogs especially. We have had several Saint Bernards in the past and are comfortable with large dogs. Whatever the shape or size, we look forward to getting to know your pet and giving them the best care we can provide. We are happy to host and are flexible to travel, both weekdays and weekends. Looking forward to hearing from you! Availability 7 days/week with flexible work hours. Can travel to your home and stay overnight if needed as well as take out for walks during the day. Our house is spacious and comfortable with a large yard and surrounding areas to take for walks. Will follow instructions carefully to best accommodate different needs.

“Laura and Bill were awesome! They offered a trial half day visit in preparation for a potential extended stay in a month. They then offered to extend it to a trial overnight. They were very accommodating as Turkey is on an activity restriction during his heartworm treatment. Special care was made to limit his activity, excitement, and ensure he got all of his medications. They offer a calm and welcoming home for your pet and have a ton of experience with all types of dogs and personalities. Their communication was super and overall they are hghly recommended!”


“Amazing as always! And our puppy intro of Kiva is going perfectly! I can't wait for her to start :) Although I need to run it by Bagheera as she will be crashing his party!!!”


“Christy did a great job with Zoey! Took her on a couple hikes and gave her lots of loves while we were gone! Zoey is on simple medications and she did them without issue. We are very thankful and will recommend her to many people and will bring her back to Christy when we need it 🥰”


About: Being a long time animal lover, I love spending my time walking and training dogs. I’ve worked at various animal hospitals, doggy daycares, and boarding facilities. I am willing to travel, and it would be a great perk if my 3 year old lab could come play or walk with your pup as well! My schedule is very flexible. I am willing to travel, and am open to schedule changes to work with your needs as well. I can do holidays as well as weekends with a planned notice. All I want is for your pet to feel comfortable and have a great time playing and/or going for a walk. Engaging shy/fearful dogs with toys and treats is always a great way to earn trust.

About: I have cared for dogs from puppies to senior pups. I have taken care of family pets for family and for friends. I have also cat sat for many of my friends and family. I am done with work around 5pm so there is plenty of daylight to get in a good walk for your dog or a good game of fetch! I currently care for our 3 dogs with multiple walks through the day and hikes when time allows. Also I play with the cat atleast once a day

“Steve and Keely took amazing care of my 11-month old black lab Rain. Their lab Sabra and Rain became fast friends and played together constantly during her 2-day stay. Rain had plenty of room inside and had daily walks and outside time as well. Steve sent me photos and updates throughout her stay. I have already rebooked with Steve for a weeklong trip I am taking next week. I can’t recommend him enough.”


“Kate was a great choice for our dog while visiting the area. She always responded back very promptly and immediately put me at ease when I dropped off Alta. Alta had a fun day playing with her dogs. She took her for a great walk and sent lots of pictures! I would definitely recommend her.”


“My dogs are use to structure and I chose her because of her profile stating trainer experience. She was a amazing care giver. She kept us posted with pictures and communicated very well. The dogs seem very at ease when I brought them home. Also I was nervous because this is my first time using rover she provided me with a great experience. She has earned a repeat customer. Thank you for taking great care of them.”
