“We've left our baby (dog) with Misty a few times and every time she makes us feel more and more comfortable. It sure makes a difference to know that we have someone like Misty and her family to care for our pet while we are away.”
“My Teddy Bear enjoyed his stay at Amber's house! He had a ball running around in her big, fenced in backyard and playing with her two girls! Teddy also enjoyed a nature walk!

About: Dog training is included. Kurt B. (CPDT-KSA, APDT) is a certified professional dog trainer, who takes videos of the training he does while your dog is in his care. He follows a forcefree teaching method to teach new behaviors. Step-by-step. Errorless. We are not equipped for non social or dog reactive dogs. Please contact ahead of time to schedule free meet and greet and behavior consultation. I work full time as a professional dog trainer at my home. My life is centered around caring for and teaching dogs and the humans that love and teach them. I have a six foot fence with in a larger 6 ft perimeter fence. We have double gates at every entrance. Dogs can free roam. Dogs eat in crates and get rest periods in crates if need be. Dogs need to be able to handle being in a crate for certain periods. Especially if they don't settle down at night and are destructive. But otherwise they are free range.
“I’ve had one bad experience with rover and I swore to never use it again but Cooper and Nora changed my mind. I booked with them very last minute and they responded within a few minutes! Showing up to the house the environment seemed so friendly and safe and I’m so thankful for that. Cooper and Nora gave my puppy the time and attention and fun he needed all while sending me pictures as an update! And even gave my baby breezy a bath before I picked him up. I highly recommend this family if anyone needs a trustworthy and kind dog sitter :) thank you Cooper and Nora for making my second experience with Rover way better than my last!”
“Claudia is not only our favorite but our dogs favorite. Briggs, our dog, loves her and can’t wait to see her when we pull up to her house. She is compassionate and thoughtful. We get regular picture updates and texts about how he is doing. He is also in love with her two pups. We are lucky to have Claudias help, she is kind and responsible. Thank you.”
“Cat was great with my "Cat- Pete" I enjoyed the photos she sent me of him "Birdwatching". It really let me know he was having a vacation at her home, while we were on our vacation! I instantly felt her love for Pete the moment we arrived for our meet-up visit! I would recommend Cat to be your pet sitter too!”
“Sheena was outstanding! Very communicative and took great care of our dog. Loved all of the photos she sent along the way. We felt very comfortable with her and our dog was happy when we arrived. If we need a sitter again, I will definitely see if she is available.”
“We wouldn't choose anyone else besides Jay! They made our pups' stay feel like an amazing vacation while we were away. Jay sent us updates and beautiful photos, and it was evident that our pups were loving the time with Jay and being well taken care of. We highly recommend Jay to anyone and would definitely book with them again!”
“I had zero concerns having Bax stay with Matt and Stefanie. He was safe, having fun, and well-looked after. They treat your pet as if they are one of their own. Will absolutely be using their services again!”
“Mark and Yulia have the sweetest family and they took such incredible care of my Hazel! She is very expressive and her happiness was beaming through the photo updates I was sent regularly. I get anxious to leave my dog but having her in their care was a big relief to me. Thank you so much for everything!!!”
About: Hi! We’re a dog-loving family offering a safe, loving home for your doggy. We have a one-year-old French Bulldog, Gigi, who would love a playful companion—that’s why we started offering boarding! We work from home with flexible schedules so your dog will get plenty of attention, care, and supervision. We have a secure, fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, and a clean, comfortable home where your dog can relax and feel at ease. We live close to a park and would love for your dog to join us on our daily evening walks. We have many years of experience as dog owners and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. We’re a great fit for small to medium, friendly dogs who enjoy playing and being around other dogs and children. We can only consider dogs that are non-aggressive and great with other dogs and children. Please communicate with us about your pets needs and we’d be happy to accommodate. We’d love to care for your doggy like our own! We both work from home with flexible schedules, so your dog will get plenty of attention, supervision, and love throughout the day. We are available to board weekdays and weekends and over holidays. We have a fenced backyard and a French bulldog who loves company. Our doggy sleeps inside and has the option to play outside or hang out inside during the day. We take daily evening walks around the neighborhood or to the nearby park.
“We couldn't be happier with the care Skilly received! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in great hands. They made Skilly feel comfortable, loved, and right at home, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We received updates and could tell she was being treated like part of the family. When we picked her up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Skilly. We will absolutely be using your services again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“We had a wonderful experience and would give more than 5 stars if we could! Our dog was so comfortable and happy during her stay, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout our trip - we received regular updates and felt confident that our dog was well cared for. It’s clear they genuinely love animals and provide a safe, welcoming environment. We would happily book with them again and highly recommend to other pet parents!”
“We had a wonderful experience booking with Kalia. She was always quick to respond to booking requests, messages, and was very understanding when we had to cancel a different booking due to a change in plans. She sent regular updates and pictures of our boy and I could tell he was having a great visit with her and her two goldens. She put our mind at ease as this was our first time booking through Rover. We had used boarding facilities in the past and our boy would come back overstimulated and often with tummy issues, but it was not the case when he stayed with Kalia. We will definitely book with her again next time!”

“Nicole is an amazing pet sitter! Great communication and very reliable. She was able to get one of our very shy cats to warm up to her. Nicole went above and beyond, even helping us with a household issue while we were out of town. Definitely recommend Nicole and we will hire her again!”
“Our dog is a typical German Shepherd, super attached and a good amount of anxiety. So we were definitely concerned about leaving her for 10 days. With Ashley, we learned quickly we had nothing to worry about. They bonded right away and the happy dog photos she sent along during our trip are some of the best photos we have of her. Ashley was incredibly caring and kept our pup on a consistent daily schedule. I highly recommend Ashley for caring for your pets.”
“My dog can be a bit leery of new people but she trusted Kalia right away. Kalia was super professional, kind, on time and even sent me a photo during their walk. I will be booking again!”
About: I have lived with many dogs and cats my whole life, in this way I have always been raised to care for animals. I have also trained a chocolate Labrador from puppy to adulthood! I know the basic methods of discipline for pets, while knowing the basic needs of care and love for them! I currently work in the film industry part time in the camera department. The rest of my work in video content creation is remote, this allows me to be flexible with my schedule and location. When at a clients home, I leave a large window of time to just spend time with the pets, whether that be petting, playing fetch, scratching bellies, or just hanging out with one another. Time with me and pets make me happy, and I believe the pets as well! Most of my hours in a day, in fact will be spent with the pet.

About: I have many years of experience as a pet-sitter for friends and neighbors and have even worked as a veterinary assistant. I have experience caring for not only dogs and cats, but also rodents, reptiles, amphibians, birds and some livestock animals including goats and pigs. I have cared for senior animals and pets with medical conditions. I'm working a remote part time job as a 3D artist, so my schedule is very flexible. I am even able to bring my work with me as long as your home has internet, so I can keep a close eye on your fur, feather or scale babies! Aside from being a calm and loving companion for your pets, I am also comfortable with administering oral medications, specialized feeding requirements (calcium dusting insects, feeding rodents to snakes, etc) basic grooming requirements, spot cleaning enclosures and general exercise needs.
About: I’ve always loved cats and have cared for them for friends, family, and clients. I understand that every cat has a unique personality some love attention, while others prefer their space. I’m patient, gentle, and focused on making sure your cat feels comfortable, secure, and loved in your absence.
About: I was allergic to cats my whole life and had NO idea how magical & exquisite cats are! At age 43 I decided to heal my cat allergy and then a cat gave birth on my lap. Kitty Cat world opened up to me and I’ve been obsessed with cats ever since 🐱
“Taryn was the first pet sitter I had in Los Angeles. I had a kitten that needed care while I went away for an extended period of time. She always took photos of my kitten and kept me updated along the way. Would highly recommend”
About: I’ve had many cats in the past, and I will love your fur babies like they’re my own. My experience goes back to my teen years, and I have done many drop-ins for friends throughout my life. I’d love to take care of your crazy or docile kitties when you must be elsewhere.
About: Hi, I’m Brooke, a compassionate and attentive cat lover who understands the unique personalities and needs of our feline friends. From playful kittens to independent seniors, I’ve cared for cats of all ages and temperaments, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-attended while their humans are away. I know that cats thrive on routine, so I take great care in maintaining their feeding, play, and nap schedules. Whether your kitty loves to chase feather toys or prefers quiet time soaking up the sun, I create a nurturing environment tailored to their preferences. I’m also skilled in recognizing subtle cues in cat behavior, so I can quickly adapt to what makes them feel most at ease. With my background in home care and a gentle, respectful approach, I’m dedicated to giving your cat the attention they deserve. You can expect detailed updates and a worry-free experience, knowing your furry friend is in loving hands. I can’t wait to meet your whiskered companion and make our time together as comforting and fun as possible!
About: I have grown up in a family full of animal lovers! I have always had dogs, cats, and even pigs around me ever since I was little. I also spent my 4 years in high school volunteering at my local humane society caring for the sweetest pups and kittens. I find myself very comfortable taking care of all types of animals as I have raised and cared for many throughout my lifetime. I am currently a mom of two precious kitties who are my whole world.
About: I have owned a cat for 13 years and now living away from home, I miss my cat like crazy. I can administer medications, play with cats, and I am well aware of cat behavior and needs as well. I love cats and have much knowledge, especially from my work at an animal hospital which boards many cats, of how to take care of them and make them happy.
About: Experienced, trained, and educated in wildlife biology, I have loved animals dearly and yearned to care for them all my life. Ive had many dogs throughout my life, rescuing them and giving them a loving home, and now have a sweet kitten named Tangerine. I’ve worked with both wild animals and many folk’s best friends. I have cared for fury friends of all kinds in many settings and in many places. I now have years of experience and many happy and returning clients. And, while I’m not a certified trainer, I do pride myself on training doggos or maintaining their training, the best I can. I love animals! I am an artist and designer, and my work is flexible and can often travel with me. I have developed the perfect flow, so that I can be with our fury friends when they need me, while also getting my work accomplished. I have stayed in many homes to care for pets. I find it makes the animals most comfortable to be home where they have their routine and their own familiar territory. I want them to be as safe, happy, and comfortable as possible, while their parents are away.

“My husband and I were visiting Ventura and in desperate need of a sitter for my dog. Chelsey was super professional, positive and very sweet. My baby was happy when I picked him up. I definitely will bring my dog back. Thank you Chelsey.”
“I'm so happy I found Melissa! She was very friendly and resonsive in communication and when we turned up at her house I couldn't believe the size of the grounds of her beautiful home. It was the dream playground for my puppy. She sent me pictures of her while I explore Ojai and it was clear when I picked my puppy up that she had had such great time and loved Melissa. She's trustworthy and clearly loves animals.Thank you Melissa!”

About: My life has always been centered around animals. From the age of nine, I’ve been a dedicated pet owner, consistently sharing my home with both dogs and cats. A Lifetime of Compassionate Care: My extensive, lifelong experience covers a wide range of needs. I recently cared for my own beloved senior dog through age-related health issues, providing me with intimate and patient experience in senior pet care, including managing specialized needs and medication. Over the years, I've been the go-to sitter for family and friends, looking after their pets with the same dedication I give my own. This, combined with my prior volunteer work at local animal shelters, has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior and welfare. I approach pet sitting not just as a service, but as a commitment to ensuring your furry family member feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I work part-time from home, which means I am present most of the day, ensuring constant supervision and a predictable, secure routine. I'm available seven days a week to provide reliable and loving care for your furry family member. I live in a comfortable, clean apartment that is free of other pets and children, ensuring a calm and focused environment for your dog. While I don't have a private yard, we have immediate access to open fields and a walking trail right nearby. We enjoy daily walks and adventures on the trails for exercise and stimulation!
“Our pup has stayed with Kay a few times now and we've already scheduled some more visits. Kay is very patient and kind. She is also very accomodating. Vaughan gets to walk and play in the yard and comes home tired and happy. Thanks Kay!”
“Ellen was great. She took great care of our pup and was very easy going. She even had some advice for activities in town that were really great. We will definitely see her again next time we are in town.”
“Alexandra and Billy were wonderful! We felt completely secure leaving our Dobie with them. They made him feel right at home and took him on fun walks and adventures. I would highly recommend Alexandra and Billy to anyone looking for a safe and reliable place where their fur baby will be loved and very well cared for. We look forward to reaching out to them again when we’re back in the area! 🐾”
“Had a great experience with daycare! Bethany was very easy to communicate with. Could tell my pup had a great time and was really convenient for dropoff/pickup for our day trip to Channel Islands. Would highly recommend”
About: Hi! I’m Kayla, a lifelong dog lover and animal person. I raised a 15-year-old Havanese from puppyhood through her senior years, and now share my life with Willow, my playful and social one-year-old cattle dog mix who absolutely loves having dog friends around. We live on a peaceful mountain property near Carpinteria with lots of outdoor space to explore. Our days are full but relaxed — usually a mix of time at home while I work on graduate school coursework, walks around the property, afternoon rest time, and beach outings or little adventures into town. I love matching each dog’s energy level — whether that means active hikes and play sessions or a slower-paced day with cozy naps and calm companionship. I’m currently in graduate school studying acupuncture, so I’m home most of the day and able to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care. I also love sending photo and video updates so you can see your pup enjoying their stay. I have experience with training and behavior work, including helping raise a previously reactive rescue dog. While I have that background, I’m currently focused on hosting dogs who are comfortable social playmates for Willow, so I’m not taking reactive dogs at this time. Our home also includes chickens (securely enclosed), and I’m happy to accommodate pickups or coordinate logistics to make things easy. If you’re looking for a safe, loving environment where your dog can enjoy outdoor adventures, companionship, and attentive care — I’d love to connect! As a graduate acupuncture student, I spend most of my days at home studying, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and structured care. Our daily routine includes relaxed time at home, walks around our mountain property near Carpinteria, rest breaks, and beach or town outings depending on your dog’s energy level. I’m able to accommodate active dogs who love adventure as well as pups who prefer a slower, cozy pace. Because I’m home frequently, dogs are rarely left alone and get lots of attention, enrichment, and outdoor time throughout the day. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We live on a peaceful mountain property with plenty of outdoor space and a calm home environment. This property is unfenced. My dog Willow is a friendly, playful cattle dog mix who enjoys respectful dog companions. Dogs are supervised during interactions and introductions are done thoughtfully to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I’m experienced with training and behavior awareness, comfortable administering basic care, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs and boundaries. Our chickens are securely enclosed. I provide regular photo/video updates and maintain clear communication so you always feel confident while your pet is in my care.
“Kelsey is my fave, and my dog loves her. When he recognizes that we're getting close to Her house, he gets excited and starts barking that he wants to go! She is super loving to him and is a true herding breed dog lover.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since for the past 4 years. I stay over night, go on walks, feed, bathe, and have dealt with disabled dogs before. I even have experience with cats whom have needed to be feed and the litter box needed cleaning. My neighbors, family, friends, and even people who I’ve been recommended to have put their trust in me with their pets. The longest time I’ve pet sat was for two weeks and it was with two dogs that needed to take medication 2 times a day. I have even let sat for my neighbor who’s elderly Labrador dog’s two back legs don’t function correctly. I am prepared for anything and everything :) I am a full time student at the University of Southern California Monday-Thursday, but I have times where I don’t have classes. Just message me and majority of the time I will be free! Friday-Sunday I don’t have school and I am usually free the entire day. At home I have a 6 year old male Golden Retriever who needs to be walked and fed multiple times throughout the day. I love to spend time with my dog whether it’s lounging around or going on hikes/to the beach with him. At clients house, I usually tend to check in with the dogs throughout my day, stay overnight at the house, or even board them at my house. I make sure that they’re fed, let out to go potty, and even give them the love/attention they need.
About: Hello There! My little family and myself are pet lovers! 🥰 We have two dogs, two cats and a bearded dragon. Our home has always been a bit of a revolving door for furry friends. I have been dog walking and pet sitting locally for the past 17yrs and have plenty of references. I am out and about most mornings doing dog walks, typically 9/930-12ish and available again most afternoon or evenings depending on what you need. I work for an afterschool program during the school year so my schedule tends to open up a bit more during the summer. We have a high, fully fenced in back yard w plenty of shade. I tend to take boarded pups w me on my walks if the temperament works. We live in a very quiet little corner in Carpinteria surrounded by parks and bike trails.

About: I've been a pet guardian all of my (long-ish) life and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented — I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. I'm currently not working full time, so I have time to help you look after your animals. My dogs (springer spaniels) lived very long and happy lives, and now I have a solo cat at home. I am available to visit your animals in your home, take them for walks, clean up after them and play with them. I can't have overnights at the moment due to my own pet.
About: I have worked as a veterinary assistant at an animal hospital that also administers emergency care. Because of this, I am very knowledgeable and experienced in medication administration, animal behavior, animal nutrition, emergency care, CPR, and all around animal care. I have owned many animals such as dogs, cats, chickens, a tortoise, and a bird. I also have been around many other animals as well having grown up in a small town with agriculture and having worked at a farm and a pet boarding facility. I have always loved animals and plan to become a veterinarian or RVT one day, caring for any and every animal I can. I am currently very free to spend time with your pet! I am available beginning around 9AM, possibly earlier if needed and discussed in more detail, until around 6PM, also flexible if discussed further. I am ready and excited to give your pets the best loving care throughout the day! In the client’s home, I can make at least 3 if not more daily check-ins and I will stay for at least 30 minutes during each check-in. Over the weekend, I generally am home unless I am running errands. I pay close attention to the pet’s needs and behavior to try to always make sure they are attended to and taken care of.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My background includes daily walks, feeding, and providing attentive companionship. I’m comfortable handling energetic puppies as well as senior pets who need extra patience and care. I focus on creating a safe, stress-free environment so pets feel secure and happy while their owners are away. I am available to care for your pets on Monday, Wednesday, Fridays, Saturday and Sunday all day. Tuesday and Thursday I am available after 5:30pm.

About: I love all critters, large and small. I have two large dogs which I have both trained. They are incredibly well behaved, but I know how to give them space to be rambunctious and playful. It’s so important for pets to have a safe space to be themselves and show their beautiful, unique personalities. I know how to work with senior and leash-aggressive dogs. Kitties are wonderful with minds of their own. I give them attention when they want it, but distance if not. They are cats after all! I can take care of fish too, as I have a tank of them in addition to my dogs. My schedule is extremely flexible! I walk my dogs in the morning, but I can adjust my walk time as needed. For overnights, my husband will take care of our fur babies. I start off with an introduction to you and your pet. Treats are a great way to start off on the right paw! I ensure your pet feels safe and gets to know me. I am caring and loving, and I also know how to give space to your furry one when they need it.
About: Animals are my passion. I cared for my beloved Parson Russell Terrier, Milo, from 2000 to 2015, and he’s the reason I fell in love with caring for all animals. That love led me to volunteer at the Berkeley Humane Society as a cat companion in 2014, and later at the Santa Cruz SPCA as a dog walker from 2024 to 2025. I’ve also transported rescued animals—most memorably a German Shepherd from NYC to his forever home in Florida—and have cared for friends’ and family’s pets for many years. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I’m fully committed to providing exceptional, reliable, and compassionate care for yours. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, your pet will be treated like family. I follow your pet’s established routine—feeding, walking, medication, and comfort—and during extended stays, I’m happy to water plants, collect mail, and keep your home tidy. My mission is simple: to care for your pets with genuine love, respect, and dependability. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the week for you and your pet. My background in customer service has taught me the importance of reliability, communication, and attention to detail—qualities I bring to every pet care visit. I provide reliable, compassionate care that keeps your pet comfortable and secure in their own home. I follow their regular routine, prioritize safety, and care for them with the same attention and love I would give my own pets.

“Mellisa is so sweet and was so patient with my wynni! At the last minute I contacted Mellisa for help walking my dog and she worked with wynni until she felt comfortable going out with her. A lot of walkers would have given up!! I would definitely recommend Mellisa especially if you have a dog that’s guarded toward strangers!”
“Ari is a gem. Great personality, grounded, responsible and kind. Dogs have a sixth sense. When my Sofi ran into the house to greet me after her walk to say I’m back she immediately returned to Ari for some rubs. I knew then I was totally comfortable giving my sweet girl’s care to Ari. Three walks done and many more planned. Thank you, Ari, for making Sofi’s life better. She loves her walks.”
About: As a loving pet owner myself, I understand the importantance of finding a caretaker that you trust. I will love your pets as I do my own. I will make sure your pets are happy and cared for regardless of breed, size or age. You will have peace of mind knowing I am caring for your beloved pets while you are away. I have pets that have to be cared for in a specific manner, so I understand the importance of following instructions to be sure your pets are safe. I do not work outside the home. My time is not limited or scheduled. My girls are home schooled so we have no other commitments than to be sure your pets are cared for. I am able to come to your home as a drop in, or stay in your home while you are away. I do not board in my home due to aggressive pets of my own.

“We've left our baby (dog) with Misty a few times and every time she makes us feel more and more comfortable. It sure makes a difference to know that we have someone like Misty and her family to care for our pet while we are away.”
“My Teddy Bear enjoyed his stay at Amber's house! He had a ball running around in her big, fenced in backyard and playing with her two girls! Teddy also enjoyed a nature walk! Amber's home is comfortable and she provided a very nice stay for my pup. She even gave me fresh eggs from her chickens! I highly recommend Amber and would not hesitate to use her again!”
About: Dog training is included. Kurt B. (CPDT-KSA, APDT) is a certified professional dog trainer, who takes videos of the training he does while your dog is in his care. He follows a forcefree teaching method to teach new behaviors. Step-by-step. Errorless. We are not equipped for non social or dog reactive dogs. Please contact ahead of time to schedule free meet and greet and behavior consultation. I work full time as a professional dog trainer at my home.

Especially if they don't settle down at night and are destructive. But otherwise they are free range.
“I’ve had one bad experience with rover and I swore to never use it again but Cooper and Nora changed my mind. I booked with them very last minute and they responded within a few minutes! Showing up to the house the environment seemed so friendly and safe and I’m so thankful for that. Cooper and Nora gave my puppy the time and attention and fun he needed all while sending me pictures as an update! And even gave my baby breezy a bath before I picked him up. I highly recommend this family if anyone needs a trustworthy and kind dog sitter :) thank you Cooper and Nora for making my second experience with Rover way better than my last!”
“Claudia is not only our favorite but our dogs favorite. Briggs, our dog, loves her and can’t wait to see her when we pull up to her house. She is compassionate and thoughtful. We get regular picture updates and texts about how he is doing. He is also in love with her two pups. We are lucky to have Claudias help, she is kind and responsible. Thank you.”
“Sheena was outstanding! Very communicative and took great care of our dog. Loved all of the photos she sent along the way. We felt very comfortable with her and our dog was happy when we arrived. If we need a sitter again, I will definitely see if she is available.”
“I had zero concerns having Bax stay with Matt and Stefanie. He was safe, having fun, and well-looked after. They treat your pet as if they are one of their own. Will absolutely be using their services again!”
“Mark and Yulia have the sweetest family and they took such incredible care of my Hazel! She is very expressive and her happiness was beaming through the photo updates I was sent regularly. I get anxious to leave my dog but having her in their care was a big relief to me. Thank you so much for everything!!!”
About: Hi! We’re a dog-loving family offering a safe, loving home for your doggy. We have a one-year-old French Bulldog, Gigi, who would love a playful companion—that’s why we started offering boarding! We work from home with flexible schedules so your dog will get plenty of attention, care, and supervision. We have a secure, fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, and a clean, comfortable home where your dog can relax and feel at ease. We live close to a park and would love for your dog to join us on our daily evening walks. We have many years of experience as dog owners and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. We’re a great fit for small to medium, friendly dogs who enjoy playing and being around other dogs and children. We can only consider dogs that are non-aggressive and great with other dogs and children. Please communicate with us about your pets needs and we’d be happy to accommodate. We’d love to care for your doggy like our own! We both work from home with flexible schedules, so your dog will get plenty of attention, supervision, and love throughout the day. We are available to board weekdays and weekends and over holidays. We have a fenced backyard and a French bulldog who loves company. Our doggy sleeps inside and has the option to play outside or hang out inside during the day. We take daily evening walks around the neighborhood or to the nearby park.
“We had a wonderful experience and would give more than 5 stars if we could! Our dog was so comfortable and happy during her stay, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout our trip - we received regular updates and felt confident that our dog was well cared for. It’s clear they genuinely love animals and provide a safe, welcoming environment. We would happily book with them again and highly recommend to other pet parents!”
“We had a wonderful experience booking with Kalia. She was always quick to respond to booking requests, messages, and was very understanding when we had to cancel a different booking due to a change in plans. She sent regular updates and pictures of our boy and I could tell he was having a great visit with her and her two goldens. She put our mind at ease as this was our first time booking through Rover. We had used boarding facilities in the past and our boy would come back overstimulated and often with tummy issues, but it was not the case when he stayed with Kalia. We will definitely book with her again next time!”
“Jody is so sweet and took such good care of Koda. He got lots of love from her and her family. When we picked him up he seemed like he didn’t even want to go home, he was enjoying it so much. She even washed his doggie bed.♥️ Jody’s location is perfect for us since we need to pass her house on the way to the airport. We will definitely choose Jody again to take care of our Koda.”
“Such a great sitter! I needed a same day boarding for my puppy and she was available, which was so great. She was very quick to respond and communicated well the entire time both before and during the boarding! She sent me tons of photos and updates and gave my puppy a super fun sleepover experience and I’m super grateful! I’ll absolutely be a returning client. She did amazing!”
“Ellen was fantastic, she responded promptly and was flexible with my schedule. She took great care of my cat Nalla while I was away. She even had a whole room set up for cats to play and hangout. I would definitely recommend her for all your pet care needs.thanks again Ellen!”
“Amanda and her family were great! Archie had 2 doodles and 3 kids to play with. Amanda was very responsive when we texted and sent cute pics of Archie enjoying his time with her family. He is pretty attached to us and can be nervous so we really appreciated the updates on how he was adjusting. Next time we go out of town we will definitely book with Amanda again!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Sara! She took the BEST care of our pup Rascal, showering him with endless love, attention, and playing! She sent detailed and thoughtful updates periodically which I really appreciated and enjoyed. Every update came with photos which was not just adorable but gave me so much peace of mind to see that Rascal was not only safe and healthy, but sooo happy. Rascal can’t wait to go back! Thank you Sara!!!”
“Steph was great with my dogs. She was flexible and understanding to my dogs individual needs. She is wonderful and very easy to work with! I look forward to booking with her again soon.”
About: Dogs have always been family to me. After 16 wonderful years with my own beloved dog, I understand the love and trust every pet deserves. As a mom of three, I provide a safe, caring, family-friendly environment where your dog will be treated like one of my own, with plenty of love, attention, exercise, and updates while you're away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide dependable care. I'm available for dog walks daily between 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM, including weekends. I also offer boarding in a safe, loving, family-friendly home where your dog will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you're away. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large, securely fenced backyard for supervised play and exercise, and a clean, comfortable home where dogs are treated like family. Because I work from home, your pup will receive plenty of attention throughout the day, along with regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of love. I'll follow your dog's routine as closely as possible and provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing they're happy and well cared for.
