“Laura, Carolina and Enrique were very welcoming of Nora. They took really good care of her. It was her first time here and she loved their backyard. Nora is a mini aussie who loves to run and their backyard was perfect for her.”
“Jay was a LIFE SAVER! We needed a sitter last minute since our old one was moving away, and Jay welcomed our Nixon girl with open arms. He sent pictures and updates during her overnight and we can tell she loved him. He is our go-to now for a sitter and we couldn't be happier. Thank you Jay!”
“She was a great dog sitter, reliable, caring, and my dog loved her. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in good hands. she kept an open line of communication and sent pictures each day to keep me up dated”
“Gwynne was absolutely amazing with our little girl. She went above and beyond to make us comfortable as it was the first time we had left her for an extended period of time.”
“Charlotte and family are the best ! Accommodating, easy going, and super communicative during the stay with photos! Philo had the best time and wasn't eager to come home haha. Thank you again!”
“Marilyn is WONDERFUL!!! She sent daily pictures and videos of my pup playing outside and snuggling. I never worried about my pup while she was in her care. My dog takes medication as well, and Marilyn had no issues administering the medication.”
“I booked with Hazard for a weekend, and I can’t say enough positive things about the experience. They were truly awesome! From the start, I felt completely at ease thanks to the frequent photo updates they sent. It was wonderful not having to wonder how my dog was doing because I got to see him happy and well cared for throughout the day. On top of that, they even provided a cute “report card” at the end of the day, which was such a thoughtful touch and gave me a great little summary of how he did. Overall, I was really happy with their care and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.”
“Dajah, kept me informed and sent pics of my big guy. I am always nervous leaving him somewhere but I felt reassured that he would be fine before I walked out and left him. I loved that my big guy was around other dogs as well and had fun. I would definitely go back to Dajah. She is highly recommended.”
“Julie was a fantastic sitter for our cat for an extended vacation. She sent pics and kept our cat happy and healthy during the stay. Professional, responsive, and recommended!”
“Our golden retriever stayed for 8 days with Diana and was so happy that he did not want to leave to come home. He was cuddled and loved by the whole family all the time. He became a part of their family. Diana kept me up to date with daily photos which we loved. Highly recommend.”
“Catherine was wonderful with Josie, she attended to every one of her needs and treated her like the true diva that she is! She gave her her drops, her eye drops three times a day on schedule, sent me pictures and videos. I was hoping Josie would a still wanna come home with me and not stay with Catherine.!!!Sue w.”
About: Pets been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I am a real dog mom and my family and I have been first priority for friends and family when a dog, rabbit or another pet were in need of a home away from home. We love animals. I am pretty flexible with my schedule and can usually move things around. (And if I can’t go my daughter at 16 will be happy to be there for you and your pet.) Our own garden is fenced all around and is a great playground for all dogs. I love to bring your dog here doing the day or I’ll just stay in your home with your pet.
“She was efficient and extremely nice and I can definitely tell Pepper had fun. Will definitely recommend her services again and will definitely be booking again. I’ve already told my friends who are pet owners”
“Robin is a lovely person who took excellent care of our dog. She kept us updated on everything and I could tell our dog was comfortable and relaxed when we returned. We will definitely be booking with Robin again!”
“Our dog Remy had a wonderful time with Yi Jia and her dogs! We are new to the region and Yi Jia made us feel comfortable by walking us through her property / house where Remy would be staying and that gave us a lot of peace of mind. She sent us a lot of pics of Remy playing with her dogs and kept us informed throughout the stay. Remy had an incredible time with her and the dogs and cannot wait to go back!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of moochie:) they are very good with communication, providing updates and cute pictures of my dog Moochie. He had a great time playing with their dog Ollie. I was a little nervous in the beginning with small Moochie hanging out with big dogs but he seemed to get along with them! Happy he was able to play and socialize. Thank you Jieun, Matth and Ollie for treating moochie as your own for a few days ❤️so thankful 🙏🏼❤️”
About: I’ve been welcoming other people’s dogs into my home for more than 20 years. It started because I knew firsthand how hard it was to leave my own dog when I traveled. I wanted there to be another option for people like me—people who couldn’t imagine leaving their dog in a kennel but also weren’t comfortable having someone stay in their home. What began as something I offered to friends became something I genuinely love doing. There’s something very special about watching a dog arrive in an unfamiliar place, helping them settle in and trust me, and eventually seeing them stretched out on the couch or curled up beside me as though they’ve always lived here. I still miss them when they go home. I board dogs from only one family at a time because I want their stay to feel less like boarding and more like their own vacation. While they’re here, they live with me as part of my household. I work from home and structure my days around them, so they have plenty of companionship and frequent access to my fully fenced yard. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from very small dogs to dogs over 100 lbs, as well as puppies and seniors. They’re welcome on my furniture and, if they sleep with their people at home, they’re welcome to sleep with me. I don’t routinely crate dogs, but I’ll maintain a dog’s crate routine if that’s what they’re accustomed to at home. I require a Meet & Greet before accepting a new dog because I want your dog to be comfortable with me, my home and my dog—and I want you to feel completely comfortable leaving them with me. After more than 20 years, the reason I do this hasn’t changed. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is enjoying theirs, too—living in a home, getting affection and companionship, and being cared for by someone who understands just how much they mean to you. While your dog is in my care, I structure my days around them. I work from home, have my groceries delivered and generally don’t schedule activities that require me to leave them alone. There’s no rigid boarding schedule here—their normal routine becomes part of mine. Whether they want to follow me around the house, nap beside me while I work, play, cuddle or head into the fenced yard, they have companionship throughout the day. While your dog is with me, I treat them as one of my own, with the same love, attention and care I give my own dog. Before a dog stays with me for the first time, I require a Meet & Greet with my dog so we can make sure they’re comfortable together before you leave your dog in my care. I board dogs from only one family at a time, so there aren’t unfamiliar boarding dogs constantly coming and going. My yard is fully fenced, and while your dog is here, I follow your instructions for feeding, medications and normal routines. I don’t crate dogs unless their family specifically requires it as part of their normal routine.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by pets and have always loved animals. I’m currently a proud dog and cat owner, so I understand how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to have someone trustworthy care for them. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and other pets. I’m responsible, dependable, and attentive, and I’ll make sure your pet gets the care, attention, exercise, and affection they need while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and will treat your animals like they’re my own. I’m a single stay at home mom, so I have lots of time to care for and walk your beloved pets ! I drop my kids at school in the mornings and pick them up in the afternoon, so my availability is very flexible ! I’ve loved and cared for pets my whole life! I grew up with dogs, cats, and just about every caged animal you can think of. I currently have a 3-year-old Maltipoo and a 5-year-old cat, so I understand how much our pets mean to us!

“Rhonda was fantastic! This was our first time using Rover and we were so pleased to have been able to work with Rhonda. She was reliable, communicated regularly, and overall we had an excellent experience. I highly recommend Rhonda.”
“Marley was fantastic with my two cats. She provided daily updates with pictures and even introduced a new game to our household. Would definitely recommend and will be sure to book again in the future!”
“Rose was timely and conscientious. She was very caring with our two rescue skittish sister kitties. Came twice a day. 30 minute feeding and scooping visits at breakfast and dinner.”
“Madalys was so kind and sweet with our kitties. It was our first time leaving them with anyone and It couldn’t have been better. They seemed happy to see her! Thank you Madalys.”
“Destiny was terrific! I had a last minute work trip and needed extended care for my cat. She was extremely accommodating and took wonderful care of him. He took to her immediately which is rare for him. Destiny was extremely flexible as plans changed due to a blizzard that impacted the area. She followed all instructions for the cat and treated my place like it was her own — it was spotless when I got back. Thank you, Destiny!”
“Kimberly is a great pet sitter! She is friendly, kind, and caring. She cares for the animals like one of her own, and has a great attention to detail. She’s also very communicative and responsible. One of my cats who she took care of is particularly shy and usually hides from the pet sitters, but with Kimberly, my shy cat Beans came right out. A testament of Kimberly’s skills as a pet sitter. 🩷🐱”
About: I’ve taken care of family cats since the age of 5 and when I started living on my own with my previous partner we had three rescued cats together. One of these cats developed diabetes and needed daily insulin shots, and then eventually needed fluid IVs in which I had to learn to take care of since my ex wasn’t okay with the procedure. After our split (2012-2017), he took the cats, but in 2021 when my now-husband, we adopted a rescue cat with a shortened tail and have been dog and cat people ever since! Thankfully I have yet to need to use my medication administering skills on our cat, but we do a very good job at keeping him healthy and happy so it is less likely he will develop diabetes later in his life.
About: I’ve taken care of Cats and Dogs growing up. Some of my best memories came from my Yorkie-Terrior named Billy and Beagle named Ruby. Bonding with your pets is such an invaluable experience that can be life-changing for all those involved. Currently between jobs, searching for part time work. I’ll have loads of time to provide quality care for your precious pets. I’m available for House Sitting, Drop-In/Out visits and Walks. :) I follow instructions listed by each client to the T. I take my time to read carefully written instructions. I may ask for clarification on any request, solely to ensure I know the best way to properly look after, walk and take care of each pet, (family member,) as if they were my own.
About: I have grown so fond of taking care of fur babies the more years I do it. I enjoy working with all different breeds and building a connection to the pets I take care of. I’ve learn to work with all ages, breeds, behaviors. The best part? Knowing that people entrust me to bring their fur babies back to me, and knowing that the dogs are excited to return. I have a part time job currently so I have plenty of time to be with your pet(s) whenever I’m not at work, so it’s flexible. I like to thoroughly ask questions about the dog I’ll be taking care of (food, any medications? Exercise? Do they like to play? Etc.) I want to make sure not only yourself but the dog is as comfortable as can be.
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you need someone to watch your pets! Jay was very responsive, and flexible with me. Very professional and respectful and always sent pictures of my babies at each visit. Always on time. Jay is the BEST!”
About: I’ve been cat sitting for around 5 years now! Taking care of feeding, litter box cleaning and more! Cats are some of the silliest fellas so feel free to reach out if you’re in need of any cat sitting!
About: I’m a registered nurse from Colombia and a lifelong animal lover. Back home, I have a wonderful Bull Terrier who has been my loyal companion for 9 years. He still lives in Colombia with my sister, where he is well cared for and deeply loved. Since moving to the U.S. four years ago, I’ve continued sharing my love for animals by caring for cats, dogs, and even birds. I’m patient, responsible, and very caring. I truly enjoy spending time with pets taking them for walks, feeding them, playing with them, or simply keeping them company so they feel happy and safe while their owners are away. I can also help with light household tasks, such as watering plants or bringing in packages. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, gentle, and attentive to care for your pet, I would love to help! Hope to meet you and your pet soon, Milena T.
About: I got my first cat when I was 8 years old after my sister left for college—I unofficially adopted her, lol. Her name was Star, and I had her for 12 years before eventually getting my first dog. She really shaped my early love for animals and taught me how special the bond with a cat can be. Years later, my sister now has two Bengal cats, Chloe and Leo, and I’ve basically become her go-to pet sitter whenever she travels for work. Through all of this, I’ve really come to understand cats and their unique personalities. I appreciate how independent and sometimes a little aloof they can be, but I also deeply respect their need for affection and connection on their own terms. I don’t fall into the stigma of people disliking cats—I know every cat is different and should never be judged as a whole.
About: I’ve grown up with cats and have always had a special love for them. I currently have a cat of my own, so I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, and I’ll make sure your cat gets fresh food and water, a clean litter area, playtime, affection, and plenty of attention while you’re away. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers to keep to themselves, I’ll respect their needs and make sure they feel safe and comfortable.

“Bruno had an amazing time! He got to sunbathe, go on a walk, and clearly enjoyed himself all day. I was really nervous at first, but they sent me pictures throughout the day, which completely eased my fears. It meant so much to see how happy and comfortable he was. Thank you so much for taking such great care of him—highly recommended!!”
“I’m so happy that Jay was understanding, patient and accepting of Sadie even with her overly energetic and playful temperament. Looks like she had a very active and fun filled day because once we arrived home, she ate, drank all her water, went to her bed and fell RIGHT asleep! This is my first time using any service of this nature & I confidently give Jay 5 stars! He promptly responds to texts and he gives the best picture updates! Sadie can’t thank him enough for such an amazing day and looks forward to seeing him and her puppy pals again very soon!”

“Catarina did a wonderful job taking care of our puppy for the day. Lucky had a great time with her and Addison. Defiantly will go with Catarina again! We recommend her for sure!”
“I am so glad that I found Hazard. She will update you every hour with pictures and videos. You will have peace of mind knowing that she is taking care of your dog. She is a highly recommended dog sitter and very trustworthy! I will definitely book her again.”
“Scheduled when we were in a pinch so appreciated the flexibility and responsiveness. I didn't get a lot of feedback on how his day went, but he came back happy and tired. I would send him back again if we lived in the area.”

About: I have 30 years experience with dogs as I have always had a dog of my own. My family and I just lost our 15 year old yellow Labrador last year and I would love to care for your beloved pets and would treat them like my own 🖤 Sadie was our family dog and although she is irreplaceable I am ready to ease into loving and caring for other dogs.

I create a comfortable and familiar environment, ensuring your pet feels secure and at ease.

There is a heated and finished lower level with a playroom for my kids which is spacious and big enough for any pup, big or small. I also have a large family room which is also spacious for any dog! I always let our dog of 15 years roam around the house indoors and our house is baby proofed for our baby - so your dog would not be able to get into anything :) I am proficient in administering medication when necessary. When entrusted with the care of your beloved pets, I approach the responsibility as if they were my own. I understand the importance of providing regular updates and pictures to keep your mind at ease while you're away from your pets.

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is the personalized care and attention I give to every dog. I treat each pet like a member of my own family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I provide plenty of playtime, exercise, updates, and affection, while also following each dog’s unique routine and needs. With my experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, pet owners can feel confident knowing their furry friend is in a caring and reliable environment. Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule. As a teacher, I have a structured routine and plenty of experience providing care, supervision, and attention throughout the day. During the summer, I am home full-time, which allows me to dedicate even more time to the pets in my care. This means frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of companionship throughout the day. Because I am home, pets are rarely left alone and can enjoy a safe, comfortable, and attentive environment while their owners are away. I have a fenced yard with a nice size backyard where the dogs can run around and enjoy the weather. And they will be supervised
About: I’ve been welcoming other people’s dogs into my home for more than 20 years. It started because I knew firsthand how hard it was to leave my own dog when I traveled.

I don’t routinely crate dogs, but I’ll maintain a dog’s crate routine if that’s what they’re accustomed to at home.

About: I’ve grown up with animals of all kinds from as early as I can remember. Being the oldest of my siblings I was the first to have to take on the pet care chores, and this included both our dogs and our cats, and the other types of animals we had in our household. I have pet care experience with dogs and cats, as well as other pets too. When I moved out on my own with my previous partner (2012-2017) we had adopted three rescued cats, and I was the main administer of the diabetic cat’s insulin and late IV fluid treatments. My ex kept our cats in the split, but in 2018 I adopted my first dog completely on my own. She’s a rescue pit bull mix and now, with my current husband, she is joined by another rescued pit bull mix and a rescued cat. Last year we also adopted a red ear slider turtle off the street in Philadelphia and he now enjoys his aquatic terrarium with his guppy and pleco friends. In 2023 I briefly worked for a dog walking company in Ridgefield and was bit by one of the client’s dogs, unprovoked, and because of that I left the service after being blamed for the outburst and attack (despite telling the owners and the employer that the dog was getting increasingly aggressive with me and I wasn’t comfortable walking him anymore). It was the only time I had ever had an animal turn on me like that and it made me rethink working for a service where I wasn’t listened to or given proper protection. My husband and I have been Rover clients since we moved to Connecticut in 2023 and I am very happy to say we have never had a negative experience, which is why I have decided to lend my services to other pets and families in the area that are in need of an experienced pet caretaker. I am a professional actor so I have days that are marked off for auditions and work or rehearsals, however it is not a consistent time or place. I work throughout the Northeast, NYC, and the Mid Atlantic currently with my acting opportunities, but I am also open to short term travel as well. Because of that, my availability is very open some weeks and not as much on others, depending on what projects I am currently involved in and what the scheduling is like. I would love to spend more time your pets in my downtime and give them the attention they require, since mine are pretty saturated in it regularly. I have two dogs, which are extremely friendly and love other dogs, people, and cats! Our cat is very aloof so they wouldn’t be seen much in cases where pet sitting at my home is needed. Our yard is not fenced in but I am very accustomed to taking them out for walks, or having them leashed under my supervision in our yard. Because I live in Newtown, there are plenty of places to get some quality walks in, and we are also not far from open public dog parks either if that suits your furry friend! I also have my own car which I am more than comfortable transporting your pet in or coming to you for check ins or walks. Our dogs are up to date on vaccines so that is not a worry either, and I am diligent in making sure everyone has a great time when their friends (and our human friends) are over too!
About: I’m a young adult who misses her dog and works from home, so your pup will get plenty of attention throughout the day :) I live in StuyTown and am happy to provide walks, drop-ins, boarding, and lots of care and cuddles. I treat every dog like they’re my own! I have references if needed, your dog will be in great hands! I have a flexible schedule, and although my work calls may vary weekly, I’m usually available. I’ve always lived with dogs, so integrating walks, playtime, and care into my routine comes naturally. I care for all dogs as if they are my own. My walks are 30 minutes minimum, and I always make sure to have water ready after every walk.
“We can’t say enough good things about Destiny. She has been incredibly helpful during a very difficult time for our family, and her flexibility and kindness have meant the world to us. She took amazing care of our dog, who absolutely loves company, and it was clear from the updates and photos that she felt happy, comfortable, and loved while with her. She goes above and beyond, is extremely dependable, and truly treats your pet like her own.

Thank you so much, Destiny!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life (currently have a 17 year old dog!). I have taken care of friends and family members pets for about 2 years. I’m currently working full time as a registered behavioral technician. I am also receiving my masters part time. I am hoping to work on weekends and 5pm or later on week days. I have a fenced back yard and a sweet Bichon Frise that is 17 years old. At a clients home I make sure the pet is cared for and safe.
About: I’ve cared for and trained my dog since he was 8 weeks old and feel I have the patience to really get to know an animal and earn their trust. I work full time on week days, but am very flexible during evenings and on the weekends have pretty open availability for walks/pet sitting ! I’m very conscious of any safety concerns around the home as I have a very mischievous dog myself. If I’m concerned about anything, I typically crate my dog until I know he’s safe. I try to always be aware of any body language or behaviors that any dog has that might need to be considered when out and and about. I strive to give your dog the same care that I give my own. The goal is for your dog to have the most happy, safe, and comfortable experience possible!
About: I’ve taken care of family and friends pets for free for years, everything from small cats to large pit bulls. I’m a genuine pet lover but due to travel have been unable to have my own so I love the opportunity to help others with their furry companions. I currently work part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with and take care of your pets. I work mostly in the mornings 3-4 days a week. I will not be boarding pets, however in my home we have a fenced in yard that we allow our dogs to play around in under supervision a few times a day and then he is taken on leashed walks at least twice a day.
About: I’ve taken care of Cats and Dogs growing up. Some of my best memories came from my Yorkie-Terrior named Billy and Beagle named Ruby. Bonding with your pets is such an invaluable experience that can be life-changing for all those involved. Currently between jobs, searching for part time work. I’ll have loads of time to provide quality care for your precious pets. I’m available for House Sitting, Drop-In/Out visits and Walks. :) I follow instructions listed by each client to the T. I take my time to read carefully written instructions. I may ask for clarification on any request, solely to ensure I know the best way to properly look after, walk and take care of each pet, (family member,) as if they were my own.
About: My family has had one or more dogs since I can remember; big and small, calm and active! Taking care of animals is one of my passions, not only does it benefit the pet to receive attentive and genuine care, but it’s awesome to spend some time bonding with animals personally! I’m currently working part time and going to be starting school, open to boarding on weekends but can do checkins, sit ins, walks etc. Anytime I’m free, I LOVE walking/hiking so will always be willing to take your pet on a nice walk. I have a fenced in yard, and one other small female dog. I also own 2 ferrets which free roam in the basement (the only off limits area). The yard is completely fenced so the pet will have access to the entire yard and also access to house.
About: I’m a registered nurse from Colombia and a lifelong animal lover. Back home, I have a wonderful Bull Terrier who has been my loyal companion for 9 years. He still lives in Colombia with my sister, where he is well cared for and deeply loved.

Whether at my home or the client’s, I create a peaceful and trustworthy environment where pets can relax and feel happy.

About: I’ve had the joy of caring for a wide variety of animals throughout my life—including dogs, cats, and reptiles. Growing up in a home full of pets taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding each animal’s unique personality and needs.

I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family, and their safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I’m available full-time for pet care, with a flexible schedule that allows me to be there when you and your pets need me most—whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or extended stays. As a current dog owner and an active individual, I naturally incorporate walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures into my daily routine. I enjoy hiking, going to the gym, and staying on the move, which means your pup will get plenty of exercise and stimulation. Alongside my love for animals, I work as a artist, which gives me the flexibility to manage my time well and be fully present for the pets in my care. I understand the value of trust and reliability—both in real estate and in pet care—and I bring that same level of professionalism and dedication to every pet I look after. Your furry friend will be treated like family, with plenty of love, attention, and activity tailored to their needs. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, I live in a very dog-friendly area with several parks nearby that I regularly visit with my own dog. I love being outdoors and make it a priority to give dogs plenty of time outside for exercise, enrichment, and fresh air. I also have a spacious SUV that’s perfect for safely transporting dogs to local hiking trails and nature spots throughout Fairfield and neighboring towns.

“They are AMAZING!! My little dog Mochi loved them a lot and I can tell he had good time with them. Normally Mochi is very shy with other people. But right away when Mochi sees Nadine family, they are already being friends. They knows dogs well and find out very quick what doggy needs. Friendly, sweet, treat like family. Everyday send me a comment (condition of my dog, what is plan) with good pictures. It makes me feel so much comfortable. Best people ever! I will come back with them. Thank you so much!! ☺️”

About: Pets been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I am a real dog mom and my family and I have been first priority for friends and family when a dog, rabbit or another pet were in need of a home away from home. We love animals. I am pretty flexible with my schedule and can usually move things around. (And if I can’t go my daughter at 16 will be happy to be there for you and your pet.) Our own garden is fenced all around and is a great playground for all dogs. I love to bring your dog here doing the day or I’ll just stay in your home with your pet.
“My dog is usually very scared and timid, but Hailey was amazing with her! Not only was Hailey super accommodating of me reaching out last minute - but my dog genuinely seemed like she enjoyed her time away at Hailey’s house. She was always smiling in photos and super content when I picked her up. We will definitely be booking with Hailey again. (:”

Thank you Jieun, Matth and Ollie for treating moochie as your own for a few days ❤️so thankful 🙏🏼❤️”
About: I’ve been welcoming other people’s dogs into my home for more than 20 years. It started because I knew firsthand how hard it was to leave my own dog when I traveled. I wanted there to be another option for people like me—people who couldn’t imagine leaving their dog in a kennel but also weren’t comfortable having someone stay in their home. What began as something I offered to friends became something I genuinely love doing. There’s something very special about watching a dog arrive in an unfamiliar place, helping them settle in and trust me, and eventually seeing them stretched out on the couch or curled up beside me as though they’ve always lived here. I still miss them when they go home. I board dogs from only one family at a time because I want their stay to feel less like boarding and more like their own vacation. While they’re here, they live with me as part of my household. I work from home and structure my days around them, so they have plenty of companionship and frequent access to my fully fenced yard. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from very small dogs to dogs over 100 lbs, as well as puppies and seniors. They’re welcome on my furniture and, if they sleep with their people at home, they’re welcome to sleep with me. I don’t routinely crate dogs, but I’ll maintain a dog’s crate routine if that’s what they’re accustomed to at home. I require a Meet & Greet before accepting a new dog because I want your dog to be comfortable with me, my home and my dog—and I want you to feel completely comfortable leaving them with me. After more than 20 years, the reason I do this hasn’t changed. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is enjoying theirs, too—living in a home, getting affection and companionship, and being cared for by someone who understands just how much they mean to you. While your dog is in my care, I structure my days around them. I work from home, have my groceries delivered and generally don’t schedule activities that require me to leave them alone. There’s no rigid boarding schedule here—their normal routine becomes part of mine. Whether they want to follow me around the house, nap beside me while I work, play, cuddle or head into the fenced yard, they have companionship throughout the day. While your dog is with me, I treat them as one of my own, with the same love, attention and care I give my own dog. Before a dog stays with me for the first time, I require a Meet & Greet with my dog so we can make sure they’re comfortable together before you leave your dog in my care. I board dogs from only one family at a time, so there aren’t unfamiliar boarding dogs constantly coming and going. My yard is fully fenced, and while your dog is here, I follow your instructions for feeding, medications and normal routines. I don’t crate dogs unless their family specifically requires it as part of their normal routine.
