About: I come from an animal family, cats, dogs, a raccoon, horses. I currently have a 65 pound GSP mix and my little guy, a Maltie-Poo. They are friendly and love to play, they will make great friends with your dog(s)! I work from home, so I am here all day for daycare or boarding. I don't have a fence, but would always put a dog I am hosting on a leash for walks and potty breaks. Both my dogs are special needs so meds/shots are not a concern. I work from home, so I am here with my dogs all day. Meals are normally 7am and 6pm. Several potty breaks during the day, and a quick walk on my lunch if it isn't raining. I don't have a fence, but would always use a leash with your dog. I live on an acre corner lot, so there's lots of room. I'm in a quiet sub without a lot of traffic.
“My dog had an amazing stay with Deb! She enjoyed the walks, play time, and the nice back yard fenced in area. I will definitely be taking her back to Deb next time I need doggy day care!!”
“Mairi, was great. The pups, energetic Germain Shorthairs, were tired when I picked them up which is always a feat. Mairi was also quite flexible when I was super late in picking the dogs up one day.”
About: I love dogs and cats and have years of pet care experience. Your dog enjoys the supervised run of my pet-safe home which includes a big back yard. Dogs are allowed on the couch and in the bed. We take twice daily long walks and daily leashed lake swims if desired. All dogs must be potty trained, and cats litter trained but I am happy to administer medication and follow special diets. I work from home as a graphic designer and I have an MFA in Drawing and an active fine art drawing and printmaking practice. Pets are attended to at all times as I work in the same room where they play. I take plenty of play and walk breaks. Art materials used are non toxic and kept locked away from pets. I often stretch pets and if I sketch yours you may keep it! I have a fenced yard and my home is pet proofed. I have a friendly dog and cat. Pets are attended to an all time and never left alone. Cats get their own room and dogs may sleep in their kennel or on the bed.
“We had a day trip planned and couldn't bring our dog so we found Emily on Rover. She had a lot of 5 star reviews and now I know why! She was AMAZING and treated our fur child like her own. She was extremely responsive to messages, provided pictures during the stay and was just genuinely a wonderful person. Seriously cannot recommend her enough!”
About: As a lifelong pet lover raised in a household with different furry companions, I have an understanding and genuine affinity for animals to my pet sitting services. I take joy in forming connections with each animal I encounter. I embrace the opportunity to engage with them all. As an adult, I have continued to welcome pets into my life while also providing dedicated care for my family's beloved animals in their times of need. I have also done foster care with cats as well. With me, you can rest assured that your furry family members will receive personalized attention, genuine affection, and a trustworthy companion during your absence or on a long walk. I am able to be flexible with my time as I am off for the summer. My schedule is quite open and I can work around other times as well. I have 10 acres that back up to state land so most animals would have an open opportunity to run and get their energy out. I'm very close to trails as well.

Daniel B.
“Daniel is the most loving and kind person that I know. He adopted an elderly, small dog that had diabetes and requires insulin. The dog's owner passed and the family was going to put the dog down. Dan adopted this little guy. I don't know too many people that would take on the financial and medical responsibilities for a rescue dog. Because of Dan's love, this little dog is now the spunkiest and sassiest "old man" you could ever meet. My dog loves Dan and going to his house while we are away. I think my dog would be happy to stay with Dan forever! If you want a trustworthy and loving person to care for your "babies," call Dan.”

Amanda Y.
“Amanda offers something unique in pet care, a home environment. Instead of a sterile, clinic atmosphere, she has created a warm, inviting place for your pet. I hate to leave my cat but when I drop her off at Amanda‘s, I feel my cat is on an adventure instead isolated in a cage. Amanda feels genuine empathy for my cat. She sends me pictures and does so at a price much less than I have to pay at other cat care facilities. She will take care of other animals also such as birds and guinea pigs. I highly recommend her service.”

“Olivia has always been kind and caring when it comes to not only people but animals as well. She’s very hardworking and will make sure every pet in her care is treated as if it’s her own.”
Danielle M.
“Danielle would make an exceptional care giver for any animal. Raised with lots of pets, she’s cared for 4 legged pets...5 dogs, 2 cats, 2 bunnies, 3 hamsters. And let’s not forget the Armada Fair goldfish who recently celebrated his 3rd birthday! Kind & compassionate...a true lover of animals! That’s my Danielle - spoken as only her mother could. ?”
