“Great place for dogs to spend the night. Laura knows a lot about dogs and follow all the instructions for my dog. We will definitely be rebooking her services in the future!”


“Lorraine was absolutely fantastic with my pups! Not only they were well taken care of but she also gave me updates and photos of them daily! And as a mama of two pups that brings peace of mind. My pups loved her and adapted really well. I totally recommend Lorraine as she is a very sweet lady and it shows how much she loves animals ❤️ thank you !”

“Great boarding experience with Yolanda! Our Cockapoo was in great hands during her 1 week stay. She stayed in touch with us with texts and pictures while we were away. We highly recommend Yolanda!”


“Marissa is amazing. I appreciate her taking on my anxious pup while I went on vaca. I was also anxious because I never left him for so long. She made sure to send a pic/update each day which really helped. She even sent him home with goodies. Hoping to see her in the future.”

“Patty is godsend! She will love (and slightly spoil) your dog like it’s her very own. Patty kept us up-to-date multiple times a day with messages and photos. She cared for our dog the way we would, simply an Angel. Thank you Patty and Vin for opening your home and heart to our Sully!”

“Alexandra and family are always wonderful to my baby boy! But this time they go above and beyond! We left for a week. And unfortunately, he ran out of food. Alexandra and family cooked him homemade food, like I did with him! Just exceptional!!!”

“This was our first time using a dog sitter through Rover and Patti did not disappoint!!! I received multiple pictures each day with an update on how my pup was doing. Patti opened her house up to him and even took him to the park, on walks, etc. I’ve already set up another time for our little guy to stay. Thanks so much Patti!”

“Toni was amazing! She was able to fit us in on short notice. Her dog, Ollie, was super friendly and got along great with our dog, Sunny, whom we boarded with her for 4 nights. Toni was very communicative and sent us short messages and pictures of how Sunny was doing every day. This was our first time boarding our dog with a sitter and her level of communication definitely helped us feel more at ease. We will definitely be using her services again the future.”

“It is a bit more difficult to find a knowledgeable pet sitter for a bully breed and Sam is great. We just had adopted Nox a few month back before I had to go on a business trip - Nox and I haven't figured out each other completely yet and Sam was great taking my concerns in consideration. Communication was good (very responsive) and I never had the feeling I have to worry about Nox at all. We definitely will book Sam again in the future!!”

“Barbara was great with my red heeler, Levi. She took him for walks, played with him and let him snuggle on the couch with her family. Will definitely book again!”

About: I have taken care of animals for over 25 plus years both as a pet owner and pet sitter. I love all animals (especially DOGs!!) and I am happiest when I get to spend time with my furry friends I am a retired scientist who enjoys spending my free time gardening, walking, practicing Pilates, and—most of all—caring for animals. I truly enjoy dog walks, park visits, and building meaningful relationships with the pets and families I serve. I provide dependable, compassionate pet care, including regular visits, dog walking, and transportation to veterinary appointments to help keep your furry family members healthy and happy. Services Offered: Dog Walking Drop-In Visits Boarding House Sitting Medication administration (including injections) Special care upon request, such as diapering, assisted feeding, and cleansing With over 25 years of experience as a pet owner and caregiver, I have cared for animals with allergies, cardiac and pulmonary disease, heart failure, dementia, and incontinence. I am attentive, patient, and comfortable managing complex care needs. Caring for animals is both a blessing and a privilege. I pour my heart into every pet I care for and treat each one as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a secure, calm home environment where pets are closely supervised at all times and treated like family. My boarding services include regular neighborhood walks and park visits, always conducted safely using secure leashes, pet-appropriate gear, and routes suited to your pet’s needs and energy level. Playtime is structured, supervised, and balanced with plenty of rest, affection, and cuddling. I strictly follow each pet owner’s feeding instructions, schedules, and care preferences to maintain consistency and reduce stress. I am experienced in administering medications, including oral medications and injections/shots, and I do so carefully and confidently according to your veterinarian’s guidance. I maintain a clean, pet-safe home, free from hazards, and I take extra care to ensure doors, gates, and shared spaces remain secure. Small pets are welcome to enjoy free access to the main living area, including cozy couch cuddling, while always being monitored to ensure their comfort and safety. I prioritize positive experiences, gentle handling, and clear communication with pet parents, so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for, safe, and truly loved while you’re away.
“Rachel took amazing care our dog! He's a little, old dog with various issues and she made sure he was comfortable and happy. We look forward to booking with Rachel again soon.”

“Five stars is not enough for Benjamin! He, and his beautiful family (of humans and dogs) went over and above to take care of our golden retriever, Soda. When we went for our meet and greet we didn’t want to leave. Their fenced in yard and the welcoming kind vibe made Soda and me (her human) feel instantly comfortable and at ease. Benjamin sent photos and videos of her girl having the time of her life while we were away almost 2 weeks. And he managed to get her in the car to go back and forth which is no small task since Soda is terrified of the car. All of this incredible kindness and professionalism took place under extraordinary circumstances since their family was going through major things at the time. We are so grateful to have found him and will definitely be grateful to be able to work with them again. I am always nervous to leave our precious girl, so rest assured, you will be in tbe best of hands if you choose Benjamin.”

“Sarah - and her entire family took tremendous care of our dog (thank you). In fact - he was very disappointed to be leaving. We hope he will return again to their care. Thank you Sarah …. 5 Stars - only because there are no more to give.”

“Craig was great with our 10-yr lab/spaniel mix. I could tell she had a wonderful long weekend with Craig and his lab. She was walked and spoiled. I feel fortunate we found Craig. We love our dog AND we know she can be high maintenance.”

t: We couldn’t have asked for better caregivers for Rook while we were away. From the moment we met James and Ami, it was clear that they genuinely love animals. Their whole family was involved in caring for him, and it truly felt like Rook was treated as part of their family rather than just a pet they were watching. They kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout the week, which gave us so much peace of mind. Seeing Rook happy, comfortable, and well cared for made it easy to enjoy our time away. Their kindness, attention, and loving care exceeded every expectation we had. We came home to a happy dog, and that’s the best endorsement possible. We are incredibly grateful and would trust them with Rook again without hesitation. Highly recommend!!!!
