“My dog, Bailey, had a great stay with Victoria. She stayed in touch with me assuring me Bailey was fine. I knew she was in good care. No problems, easy to interact with. I would recommend her!!”
“Bridget was absolutely incredible with our boy! She and her family were so kind and caring, and updated us with lots of photos and videos. Our dog unexpectedly fell sick, and she not only immediately notified us, but took him to the emergency vet within minutes. She felt comfortable caring for him at home and he recovered well with her. Our dog became part of the family with her, and we would not hesitate to ask Bridget to watch him again in the future. She is an absolute gem!”
“Ning was so responsive and provided us with constant updates about Roux’s wellbeing! I was honestly so nervous since it’s his first time boarding at someone else’s place and he also is a very nervous boy. To make it worse, he ate something bad the day before and needed medication for his diarrhea. She made sure to feed him his medicine on time. She also made sure he was comfortable and slowly introduced him to the other pups. We would definitely book with her again.”
“Best of the best! Did an amazing job with our doggie who is usually scared of everything and showed her a great time. Vi was really in tune with our dogs needs and feelings, and gave her plenty of walks, playtime and enrichment! She even knew what to do when our doggie had some tummy trouble. Vi really knows her stuff! Thank you so much, Vi!!!”
“Our pups were super happy with Sunny! We were without cell service for most the weekend so we had Sunny communicate with a close friend. Sunny sent us both plenty of photos and the pups looked spoiled and happy! We’d love to stay with Sunny again!”
“Al was amazing! He was such an amazing help at the last minute. I felt very comfortable leaving him with Maple! Will definitely be using his help again in the future! Thank you Al!”
About: I am new to Rover but began pet sitting for neighbors at 16 years old. I have experience with both small and large dogs, including my own 90 lb lab who I trained from an 8 week old puppy into adulthood. You can feel at complete ease knowing your dog will be well cared for in a very loving, comfortable, and clean home while you are away. We have a big, fully fenced-in back yard, as well as a nice neighborhood for walks. I am home all day and am able to accommodate anything your dog needs. I have a very flexible schedule and am able to accommodate both daytime care as well as multi-night overnight boarding with full availability with advanced notice. We have a fully-fenced in back yard as well as a clean home for your dog to feel comfortable while you are away. We also have a very friendly 2.5 year old male English Lab to be a playmate and keep your dog company.
About: I have been a “Dog Mom” for over 20 years. Often having multiple dogs of different sizes and breeds. I have handled deaf dogs- using sign language for commands, bells on door handles for dogs to signal outside time and understanding quiet, calm environments for senior dogs. I currently have no dogs in the house and I miss it so much! I’m excited to help your family any way I can. I’m a stay at home mom with one 9 year old boy who shares in my love for dogs. My child will be at school during the school year. My days are flexible to accommodate your needs. I’m happy to send photos/videos of your fur baby as often as you’d like! I have a small outdoor patio that is partly shaded for those dogs who love a good sun- bathing. Out front there is some grass and I have a leash attached to large tree if they prefer grass time. (I will be outside with them the entire time) I can accommodate crate training at night or snuggle with them in my king size bed! We are an A/C controlled home!!
“Katrina was great with my elderly dog Rocky and kept me up to date on how he was doing. She provided consistent communication, a caring attitude, and a clear love for animals.”
“Thank you Nathan and family once again for taking great care of Mylo and Pawnee! I can always rely on them to send cute photo updates so I know my pups are in good hands.”
“Armida took excellent care of our Bobo and Bingo, they loved being with her family and their dog. We received regular updates on their feedings and exercises with daily photos. We were nervous and worried about leaving them for over three weeks, but they seemed happy and comfortable every day. They even looked more confident when we picked them up. We're so lucky to have such a wonderful dog sitter nearby!!”
About: I've been around animals for years and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I'm patient, attentive, and comfortable following each pet's individual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special instructions. I prefer to care for a smaller number of pets at a time so I can give them plenty of individual attention. I'm also happy to send regular photos and updates so you can relax while you're away. I have a hybrid work schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week. I'm home more frequently later in the week and available on weekends, with time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I'll always confirm that my schedule is a good fit for your pet's normal routine before accepting a booking. Safety is my first priority. I take time to learn each pet's normal routine, personality, triggers, feeding schedule, and any special needs before their stay. I only accept pets that are a good fit for my home and will follow your care instructions closely. I also prefer a meet-and-greet before a first boarding so we can make sure everyone is comfortable. Pets will be supervised appropriately and given their own space when needed.
“Teri is wonderful. She took great care of my puppy while I was on a family vacation. Harley, my pup, was only 10 weeks at the time and not fully potty trained or crate trained. Teri worked with him on both and he made a lot of improvement. Teri is professional, caring, and skilled. I highly recommend her. She goes above and beyond. Thanks!”

“Marne was fantastic! She kept us updated with thoughtful messages and plenty of pictures, which made it so much easier to relax while we were away. We felt completely comfortable having her in our home, and she took wonderful care of our little guy. She even cleaned up an unexpected hairball surprise, which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely book with her again.”
“Such a great cat sitter! She took tons of picture, gave many updates and handle my kitten well. He still has crazy kitten energy and she was such a good sport about it. Very responsible/communicative and you can tell she loves animals. This was my first time leaving my kitten for more than a few hours and she made me feel so comfortable! Would recommend her 1000% to take wonderful care of your beloved animals.”
“Krystal was an incredible help to us! She maintained Sunny and Apple’s routine, was a great communicator, & trustworthy. She took excellent care of our two kitties & formed a great bond with them.”
“this was my first time using rover and i was quite nervous as i’m extremely obsessed with my cats. however, Bre did a very good job and made me feel more comfortable with our meet n greet. she sent lots of pictures and gave updates multiple times a day. i would definitely book Bre again.”
“Tala was professional and kind and took good care of our cat while we are on a trip! She provided lots of love and care to him, evident through pictures and videos. She also offered to do a meet-and-greet to see our cat, our place, and to meet her as a person. Our cat did not have any medications to administer or any food/water that needed to be given as we have an auto feeder and fountain, but our main ask was for Tala to clean his litter and give him lots of love and play with him if he was in a playful mood, all of which I believe Tala did while we were gone. Thanks Tala!”
“Nick was a wonderful overnight sitter for Mango. We really appreciated the regular photo and video updates, and he was always responsive to our messages. He took the time to bond with Mango, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Mango clearly took to Nick, and it seemed like his routine stayed as close to normal as possible despite us being gone. Nick also left the house clean and tidy, and it was a joy to come home to a happy, well-cared-for boy. We would gladly book with him again.”
About: As a cat owner, I understand that cats often need a different approach than dogs. I'm comfortable with everything from social cats who want attention to more independent cats who prefer their space. I'll keep their feeding and litter routine consistent, provide play and attention based on their personality, and keep you updated with photos while you're away
“Vi is without a doubt the best pet sitter we have ever had. She provided the most detailed updates and photos daily. She took the time to take our cat to the vet at our request after he experienced some relapsing symptoms of a prior injury. Cannot recommend her more. We felt like our cat was so loved and cared for under her watch.”
About: I’m was a cat parent to two beautiful Bengal cats who meant the absolute world to me. As a fellow cat lover, I understand how important it is to find a sitter you can trust to care for your cats with the same love and attention you would. Knowing how much I appreciated dependable sitters who truly adored my animals, I’m excited to return the favor and provide your furry friends with the care, cuddles, and attention they deserve while you’re away!

“Kaela was wonderful with Shaka and we will definitely leave him with her again. She is thoughtful and kind with the puppy and he’s excited to see her when I drop him off in the morning. 10/10 great dog sitter!”
“Lisa is absolutely amazing! I know my fur baby is so well taken care of. He came home so tired, in the best way and she updates with lots of pictures. We are so lucky we came across Lisa and will definitely continue to use her.”

About: I have been a dog lover my whole life! Over the last 13 years, I’ve raised my Jack Russell Chihuahua mix from puppy to healthy senior. Like most millennials, I bought the house with a yard for my dog! I work from home in the tech industry, which allows me to spend all day with your pups, giving them attention throughout the day, taking them for regular walks and potty breaks, and tending to their needs. I live on a quiet block with a peaceful enclosed backyard. I would love to host your fur babies! Full time work from home, flexible schedule that allows for multiple potty breaks and walks. My dog usually walks 3 times a day (15 min each), which I could easily incorporate an additional dog to the walks. The back door is kept open weather permitting for dogs to sniff, sunbathe, and explore. Each pet’s care is unique! Whether that is walking them alone, specific dietary needs, or toys that are off limit. I work closely with you and your pet to tailor to their needs, and ensure a happy and comfortable stay. I always suggest a meet and greet prior to first stay, so we can review your expectations, learn more about how to best communicate with your pet, and ensure we are on the same page for care needs.
“Kermit loves Jeff, Keersi and their doodle Scuba! Best sitter of all time. They have taken such good care of my dog and I feel at ease knowing that he is in such good hands. If Kermit could have it his way, he would hangout with them everyday! Couldn’t be happier and truly am so thankful for them”

I have a large fenced yard and a 9 Year old English Bulldog, Maggie, who would love to keep your pets company during their stay.
“Kiki had an absolute blast with Nathan, Paula, and their adorable daughters during her stay! It was so nice seeing the photos of Kiki having a blast with the family throughout the day—whether it was playing at the beach or curling up on the couch for some snuggles. Thanks to Nathan and Paula’s care and attention, I was able to fully enjoy my time at Disneyland. I will definitely be trusting them with Kiki next time I’m in the area!”
About: I’m the kind of person who greets the dog before the human. Hi! My name is Amerys, but you can just call me Am and your furry family can call me “woof”. ☺️ I have my own wonderful pups and kitties, have worked in a veterinary hospital, dog boarding facility and have been walking and caring for dogs for over a decade. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I truly love. Whether your pup loves long walks, slow sniff-filled adventures, energetic games of fetch, or just extra cuddles and companionship, I’m happy to match their pace and personality. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and lots of positive attention. No breed is too big or too small, I enjoy getting to know every dog’s unique personality and am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family, making sure they feel loved and secure while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. You can expect plenty of updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a neighborhood walk, or keeping your pet company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they get the care, exercise, and affection they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and earning the approval of your four-legged best friend! 🐾 I’m currently in online graduate school for pharmacy, so I complete my coursework from home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available throughout the day and night and provide attentive, around-the-clock care for your pet. Your pet will not be left alone for long periods, and I can easily accommodate regular walks, frequent potty breaks, feeding schedules, medication times, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of individual attention. Because I am home most of the time, I can closely monitor your pet’s behavior, appetite, energy level, bathroom habits, and overall comfort. I understand that being away from their family can sometimes make pets anxious, so I do everything possible to keep their routine familiar, calm, and comforting. Whether your pet enjoys staying active, relaxing beside me while I study, sleeping in my bed, or simply having someone nearby, I will adjust my day around their individual personality and needs. When your pet stays with me, they are treated like a member of my family—not simply another booking. Their safety, comfort, health, and happiness are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, allergies, walking routines, sleeping arrangements, behavioral needs, and any household rules you would like maintained. I am also happy to continue any training commands or routines you use at home so your pet has as much consistency as possible. I am home most of the day because I attend graduate school online, which means I can provide frequent supervision and around-the-clock care. Your pet will receive regular potty breaks, walks based on their age and energy level, fresh water, meals served on schedule, playtime, affection, and plenty of opportunities to rest. I never force interaction and allow each pet time to settle in and become comfortable at their own pace. I have my own friendly dog and cat, so I always introduce animals carefully and supervise their interactions. I can provide separate areas when pets need personal space, quiet time, separate feeding, or a slower introduction. If your pet is not comfortable around other animals, I can also care for them in your home through walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays. I have a good-sized patio with grass for convenient potty breaks and fresh air, while still providing regular walks and exercise. Pets are welcome on my furniture and in my bed, but I also have a crate available when requested by the owner or when it is already part of the pet’s normal routine. I have experience working in a veterinary hospital and have cared for dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, ages, personalities, and medical needs. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, eating, drinking, bathroom habits, mobility, or energy. In the event of an emergency, I will contact you immediately and follow your preferred veterinary instructions. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so communication is very important to me. I will provide regular photo and video updates, along with honest information about how your pet is eating, sleeping, playing, and adjusting. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing that your pet is safe, loved, supervised, and receiving the same thoughtful care I would want for my own animals.
About: I have had dogs in my home for my whole life. I am the go-to dog sitter for my family and friends when they go out of town. I now have a dog of my own and have been loving every second of it. I love all dogs and will take care of your dog like they are my own. I currently work from home! I have a dog of my own and she is very chill with other dogs. Because I have my own dog, she is fully incorporated into my daily routine. I usually don’t leave the house more than once a day and it’s usually for 2-3 hours max. I go on one to two walks a day depending on my work schedule but that can be adjusted to your dogs needs. I have a fenced in backyard that my dog loves to hang out in. My dog is friendly and is tolerant of other dogs. I keep a very clean home and have plenty of toys around to play with.
“Eileen did a great job with our 2 dogs. They aren’t the easiest dogs to handle but she had no problems with them. She took them on some long walks, and sent plenty of photos. We would definitely use her again, and highly recommend her for anyone looking for a great sitter.”
About: I’ve grown up with cats and have one myself. I live in Costa Mesa and work from home. I’m able to stop by whenever and wherever for a quick visit or longer stay. For overnights, I prefer to meet briefly over video before the day arrives. I work from home Monday through Friday at 8 AM to 4 PM but I can also stop in for lunchtime if you are nearby. If you’d like me to come for a longer stay, then I can bring my laptop and work from your apartment so that your pet has some company for a longer period of time. I love pets and I can provide lots of flexibility to you when it comes to cancellation and last-minute bookings. I am so appreciative of your trust and will treat your loved ones as if they were my own. I could not live my life without pets- the mutual love and support they provide and supported me my whole life. I am so happy to find this service where I can conveniently check in on loved pets easily with my flexible schedule. I’m typically open to saying a bit longer than the allotted time if able. I am open to sharing cat food so please let me know if you need some and I will bring it. :)
“We had Matthew watch our dog while we took our daughter to Disneyland for the day. He kept us updated and sent pictures all day. We would definitely use him again when we come into town.”
“I had a wonderful experience! She took such great care of Rayder and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She sent me lots of updates, photos, and messages throughout his stay, which I really appreciated because it gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. Rayder came home happy, well cared for, and I could tell he had a great time. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
About: I have a wide range of experience helping with pet sitting needs. I started helping out local neighbors while they were out of town and have been responsible for walks, feeding and staying overnight at times. I’ve owned dogs all my life and have experience taking care of my own as well :) I’m currently working part time so looking to help with your pup needs to fill a second job! Weekdays and weekends are typically flexible, especially in the evenings. I like to stay active so I plan to do the same when I take care of your pup! I love going on walks and also have a backyard at my place for plenty of room.
“I highly recommend Dristi if you need loving & responsible pet care! She was responsive, heeded all instructions, and best of all cared for my dog like he was her own. Her kindness and openness really put me at ease.”

I’m available Monday thru Friday from 6 am-3pm for drop-ins, walking, and pet sitting. I’m able to accommodate my services based on your pets needs. No request is too much! Each pet is accommodated for based on specific needs and preferences. I’m careful with surveillance and making sure each pet is surrounded by safe objects and food around the house.

I will take care of your pet however you see fit, according to your preferences. I unfortunately do not provide care in my own home, as my cat has made it clear she prefers the home to herself.
“Ashley has been wonderful with Brandy! She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs she works with. I really appreciate the detailed notes and photo updates after every walk. It’s so reassuring to see how Brandy did and know he’s in such great hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog walker!”

Our six-month-old Siberian husky has endless energy, and Chloe matches it with real engagement — not a distracted stroll. I’ve seen other walkers glued to their phones; Chloe is the opposite: fully present, attentive, and genuinely invested. Your pup is in good hands.”
About: I’ve owned Great Danes :) I will care for your fur baby as if they were my own. I’ve trained a few dogs using a Gentle Leader. I always walk a dog on my left (dogs innately want to be in the Alpha position, which is the front and right of a dog pack—and so I walk them on my left so they understand that I’m in the alpha position) This is my full-time job. Unless I’m scheduled to walk a pup (or have a dr appointment), I’ll be with your pets in home. I talk to them and love to snuggle with them (if they appreciate the attention and affection). I’ll drive them to grooming or vet appointments. When I’m with a pet/s —they are my priority. Their care is what is important. I want them to be happy and I want their owners to not have to worry about their “fur babies” while they are away from them.
About: Dog dad to Benji, my 4.5-year-old Cocker Spaniel and best buddy. Also sat for a Pitbull and grew up with a Maltese Poodle — I've loved dogs my whole life. On summer break, so I'm home full-time. Daily walks, play, belly rubs, and photo updates. I'll follow your routine and love your dog like my own. I'm currently on summer break before my CNA program starts, so pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I'm home full-time and available throughout the day for walks, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles. Your dog gets constant companionship, not just drop-in visits. I treat every client's home with respect. I clean up after myself, follow your house rules, and make sure your dog is safe and comfortable at all times. I'm attentive to food allergies, dietary restrictions, and any quirks your dog has. I always use secure leashes and harnesses during walks and keep your dog's routine consistent so they feel at ease while you're away. I send daily photo updates for peace of mind.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs/cats & have been an animal lover my whole life! In my everyday job - I take care of little kiddo’s but in my free time, I like to take care of furry friends too! I have lots of experience caring for my childhood dogs as well as friends’ & family members’ dogs/cats of all different ages & sizes throughout the years. I’d love the opportunity to help out with your furry friends too! I just relocated to California & am waiting to start my new pediatric RN position here! In the meantime, I have a lot of free time & would love to spend it helping you take care of your fur baby! I currently live in a pet-free home, giving me the ability to leave my house for long periods of time to check in on your furry friend, play with them, or even take them on a long walk! When with your furry friends, I am very attentive to them - making sure their every need is met while keeping them both happy & safe.
“Annabel is such a treasure! She not only has been walking Nyx for some time now, she was excellent with a visiting pup, Toby who can be a bit shy. I highly recommend Annabel!”

About: Hi there! 🐾 I’m a gentle, dependable dog walker who truly loves spending time with pups of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or prefers a slower, sniff-everything kind of stroll, I’m happy to match their pace and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for every step of the way. I believe every walk should be a fun little adventure filled with fresh air, tail wags, and lots of positive attention. I’m attentive, patient, and always tuned in to your dog’s needs, so you can feel confident they’re in kind and capable hands. I’d love to meet your furry friend and become someone they look forward to seeing! 🐶💛 i am currently working part time on weekends as a hairstylist & my schedule isn’t consistent at the moment at the salon. i am available usually weekdays are the best but so weekends are doable at times also!! i usually can always work things into my schedule though ;) I have a fenced backyard and three dogs; two small and one golden retriever. two cats but they stay inside. our pup and cats are super friendly and accommodating! we live in a very safe neighborhood so no worries about that!
About: I will take care of your fur baby as one of my own. We have a yard that is fenced in and dog friendly. Your dog will be top priority, and will be the only dog I care for at that time of sitting besides my Frenchy. I know how important and uneasy it is to leave your fur baby. Rest assured, that they will be cared for as if you were here. I am in and out all day long and dogs have access to backyard to sunbathe and potty breaks.. I’m in and out of the house during the day. I do pick up and drop offs at school so dogs can enjoy car rides if suitable.. The dogs won’t be left alone longer than 2.5 hours and will have access to the backyard to sun bathe and potty breaks at all times. Your fur baby will have a companion to enjoy each other’s company. Your pet will have access to the back yard at all times to sunbathe and potty breaks. Yard is completely safe and secured. I make sure your dog is comfortable and well loved 🥰.

“My dog, Bailey, had a great stay with Victoria. She stayed in touch with me assuring me Bailey was fine. I knew she was in good care. No problems, easy to interact with. I would recommend her!!”
“Bridget was absolutely incredible with our boy! She and her family were so kind and caring, and updated us with lots of photos and videos. Our dog unexpectedly fell sick, and she not only immediately notified us, but took him to the emergency vet within minutes. She felt comfortable caring for him at home and he recovered well with her. Our dog became part of the family with her, and we would not hesitate to ask Bridget to watch him again in the future. She is an absolute gem!”
“Ning was so responsive and provided us with constant updates about Roux’s wellbeing! I was honestly so nervous since it’s his first time boarding at someone else’s place and he also is a very nervous boy. To make it worse, he ate something bad the day before and needed medication for his diarrhea. She made sure to feed him his medicine on time. She also made sure he was comfortable and slowly introduced him to the other pups. We would definitely book with her again.”
“Best of the best! Did an amazing job with our doggie who is usually scared of everything and showed her a great time. Vi was really in tune with our dogs needs and feelings, and gave her plenty of walks, playtime and enrichment! She even knew what to do when our doggie had some tummy trouble. Vi really knows her stuff! Thank you so much, Vi!!!”
“Our pups were super happy with Sunny! We were without cell service for most the weekend so we had Sunny communicate with a close friend. Sunny sent us both plenty of photos and the pups looked spoiled and happy! We’d love to stay with Sunny again!”
About: I am new to Rover but began pet sitting for neighbors at 16 years old. I have experience with both small and large dogs, including my own 90 lb lab who I trained from an 8 week old puppy into adulthood. You can feel at complete ease knowing your dog will be well cared for in a very loving, comfortable, and clean home while you are away. We have a big, fully fenced-in back yard, as well as a nice neighborhood for walks. I am home all day and am able to accommodate anything your dog needs. I have a very flexible schedule and am able to accommodate both daytime care as well as multi-night overnight boarding with full availability with advanced notice. We have a fully-fenced in back yard as well as a clean home for your dog to feel comfortable while you are away. We also have a very friendly 2.5 year old male English Lab to be a playmate and keep your dog company.
About: I have been a “Dog Mom” for over 20 years. Often having multiple dogs of different sizes and breeds. I have handled deaf dogs- using sign language for commands, bells on door handles for dogs to signal outside time and understanding quiet, calm environments for senior dogs. I currently have no dogs in the house and I miss it so much! I’m excited to help your family any way I can. I’m a stay at home mom with one 9 year old boy who shares in my love for dogs. My child will be at school during the school year. My days are flexible to accommodate your needs. I’m happy to send photos/videos of your fur baby as often as you’d like! I have a small outdoor patio that is partly shaded for those dogs who love a good sun- bathing. Out front there is some grass and I have a leash attached to large tree if they prefer grass time. (I will be outside with them the entire time) I can accommodate crate training at night or snuggle with them in my king size bed! We are an A/C controlled home!!
“Thank you Nathan and family once again for taking great care of Mylo and Pawnee! I can always rely on them to send cute photo updates so I know my pups are in good hands.”
“Armida took excellent care of our Bobo and Bingo, they loved being with her family and their dog. We received regular updates on their feedings and exercises with daily photos. We were nervous and worried about leaving them for over three weeks, but they seemed happy and comfortable every day. They even looked more confident when we picked them up. We're so lucky to have such a wonderful dog sitter nearby!!”
About: I've been around animals for years and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I'm patient, attentive, and comfortable following each pet's individual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special instructions. I prefer to care for a smaller number of pets at a time so I can give them plenty of individual attention. I'm also happy to send regular photos and updates so you can relax while you're away. I have a hybrid work schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week. I'm home more frequently later in the week and available on weekends, with time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I'll always confirm that my schedule is a good fit for your pet's normal routine before accepting a booking. Safety is my first priority. I take time to learn each pet's normal routine, personality, triggers, feeding schedule, and any special needs before their stay. I only accept pets that are a good fit for my home and will follow your care instructions closely. I also prefer a meet-and-greet before a first boarding so we can make sure everyone is comfortable. Pets will be supervised appropriately and given their own space when needed.
“Teri is wonderful. She took great care of my puppy while I was on a family vacation. Harley, my pup, was only 10 weeks at the time and not fully potty trained or crate trained. Teri worked with him on both and he made a lot of improvement. Teri is professional, caring, and skilled. I highly recommend her. She goes above and beyond. Thanks!”
“Nikcole was very flexible and understanding. She and her family took great care of our family. Our pets seemed very comfortable around the entire group. We would love to have her sit for us again.”
“Hanah, Dabin, and Evan made Seven’s first night away from home so positive. They cared for him like he was their own with lots of exercise and attention. I appreciate how responsive they were with sending me updates and pictures throughout his time with them. I am so glad I found them and would definitely book them again!”
“Katie was AWESOME! My little guy loved her and all of her roommates. She even got him to make a couple doggie friends which was really great. She regularly sent photos and kept me updated on all of his behaviors. I didn’t worry at all during my time away from Archer(my dog). I would highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. Katie really did an amazing job.”
