“Betsy was amazing with our dog, Bogey! She took such great care of him while we were away and kept us updated, which gave us total peace of mind. It’s clear she truly loves animals- Bogey was happy and well cared for. We’ll definitely be using her again! Thank you Betsy❤️”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful. She is so kind and loving. During the entire stay, she took the time to share pictures of my Brunello several times a day. She is extremely quick to respond at any communication. I felt at peace during the whole time. And when I picked up my baby, he was full of joy and relaxed which showed me how much he enjoyed his stay with Michelle. We found our loving sitter for our baby ans we re so grateful !”
“First time using Stephanie and Elizabeth. They were referred to us and we are so grateful. The pictures and updates really helped to know that our pup was cared for like family.”
“Janette and Allyson were wonderful doggie sitters while I went off on a cruise. It was a last minute reservation and she was welcomed with loving arms. Highly recommended!”
“Lisbeth took very good care of my little girl. She sent pictures and information about how she was doing. I had confidence in Lisbeth because she is a vet tech and would know what to do in an emergency. Kayla came back clean and happy…what more could you ask for? Thank you, Lisbeth. I will be using you again.”
“Sarah took VERY good care of Dixie while I was away for the weekend. She provided constant updates with photos and video and she and her boys kept Dixie active and engaged. When I picked her up, I had a VERY tired dog. A tired dog is a happy dog. I would not hesitate to have Sarah take care of Dixie again.”
“Kym and Glen were kind enough to take Winnie at the last minute for me. They went above and beyond to make Winnie comfortable and happy for her first visit. They have a perfect dog friendly set up as a Rover.com dog. Both of them love dogs very much. Winnie slept with them and really enjoyed her visit. There is nothing like the personal touch. Thank you Kym and Glen for being so good at caring for our pets! I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a great place to leave their furr babies. Susan and Winnie”
“Tara is AMAZING! Our pup boarded with her full time for a week while we were out of town. Professional, caring, reliable, and communicative, just to name a few of her wonderful care giving qualities. Lots of pictures and communication every day. Even on short notice and on top of that our pup started going into a heat cycle while in her care. Tara kept us updated and made sure our pup was safe, loved, and cared for. Could not be happier with this experience and I highly recommend Tara!”
“He has experience in taking care of a high energy dog, at first I was cautious as I dont know how yoki will be with kids 10 under, but he did ok. Jarrad was trying to figure out how to work the apps but eventually was able to send photos. Will see him next time!”
“I left my puppy with Olga for 4 days while we were out of town. Olga did a great job taking care of my little guy and setting my mind at ease while we were gone. He had plenty of friends to play with while there, and I got to see some great play shots via the photo updates. It was the perfect home away from home for him!”
“Karlee did an absolutely amazing job caring for my dogs, Atlas and Jaxon, this weekend. Atlas can be a bit of a difficult dog at times, but she handled him with so much patience, confidence, and care, it truly put me at ease. She also sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay, which meant a lot and helped me feel completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Both dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved while they were with her. It’s not always easy to trust someone with your pets, especially when one can be a little more challenging, but Karlee exceeded my expectations in every way. I’m so grateful for the attention and care she gave them, and I would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Elisa was absolutely wonderful while taking care of my pup. I loved getting videos and pictures throughout his stay with her. It was obvious he was well loved and cared for while at her home. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“We LOVED how Danielle took care of our Josie. I think Josie loved her, too! We got several notes each day, with pics and an occasional video. It was clear that Josie was truly enjoying her stay. Huge thanks go to Danielle for taking on our 75 pound, energetic lab. High recommendations for her - but leave room on her calendar for future Josie visits.”
“Jewel was so kind and detailed taking all the info I had for Luna since she is Diabetic and on special diet. Has a fenced in yard and walks the dogs. She brought out her two precious little princesses to meet Luna and they were so adorable. Her detailed text with pics of Luna’s daily events made my day. Thank you so much Jewel. I can see Luna was super relaxed since picking her up and her usual cry whining just didn't happen. It usually takes her three days to get chill again when I leave her. Thank you and your pups for her great stay away from home. 💖 You were the perfect pick for Luna.”
“Felicia took care of Daisy for me for 2 weeks after meeting Daisy one day and then watching her for 2 weeks the next day! My previous sitter had cancelled on me 2 days prior to me leaving on vacation. Felicia sent pics of Daisy almost everyday with a message as to what Daisy was doing. I would def recommend Felicia and will definitely contact her again when services are needed. Thank you Felicia!”
“Picked our bernadoodle up earlier today from her first visit/overnight stay with Hope and Scott. Video/photos and text exchanged. We couldn't be happier with the service they provided. Had a bad experience with a previous sitter who temporarily lost our dog. I know our Teddi is now safe and sound with Hope and Scotts care.”
“Kendal and Dre are amazing! River loves to visit and has the very best time! It makes leaving her that much easier when we know she is so well cared for!”

“Stacey is great She took care of my cat, Earl for 2 weeks. Excellent communication. Earl is very timid with new people, often hiding under the furniture until they leave. After more than a week, he decided that she would do as my replacement and made some appearances! Highly recommend! Thank you!”
“Andie did great with our skiddish kitty cats over the holiday weekend. She made sure she saw them, tried to get them to warm up to her, and listened to instructions well in regard to feeding them / cleaning up their area. She was also delightful during our meet and greet and exhibited her vast knowledge by chatting about her history of cat care. Overall, we are pleased with Andie and highly recommend her for your feline family members! 😸😸”

“Julie was fabulous. She dropped in to check on my kitty. Made sure she was good and fed. She also sent me pic. She even brought in our front door deliveries. Definitely recommend Julie.”
“We can’t thank you girls enough!! It’s such a relief to us knowing our kitties were well taken care of!! And even going over and above to vacuum up the house a bit… the girls can get messy sometimes with the litter.. LOL… We are so appreciative to you guys and the excellent service you provide!! ?”
“Alexandra did a fantastic job with our two cocker spaniels, including our energetic puppy. She spent quality time playing with them, took them outside, and made sure they got treats and attention. It’s clear she’s very comfortable handling both puppies and active adult dogs. Our 3 year old can be a handful, and she handled both of them with ease. We came home to two happy, well cared for pups. We’d definitely book her again!”

“Michael was very helpful with my last minute cat sitting needs. He provided short but thorough updates each visit, and my cats definitely appreciated their playtime.”
“We can’t complain. Melanie was always on time, and communicative. We were able to enjoy our vacations knowing our cat was in good hands. We’ll definitely be booking again with Melanie.”
“LeeAnn was absolutely wonderful with our little pup. We had her come do a couple drop in visits while we were at work and felt confident he was in good hands. We also loved the picture updates! We will definitely be booking LeeAnn again in the future! :)”

Besides that though, we are always ready to have fun with our pup and can’t wait to have your furry friend join in on the fun! My husband and I have a 3 year old male English Mastiff named Tank!

“Thank you Betsy! Last minute booking and very accommodating for me. Betsy is lovely and highly recommend! We were late picking Zoey up due to traffic congestion. Suggest to newbies to ck traffic for timing. See you next week!”
“Anu is fantastic! Taz loves seeing her and playing with Izzy. She keeps us informed of how Taz is doing, sends a few pictures and we feel very comfortable leaving Taz with her. Taz has separation anxiety, but has displayed none of it when he goes with Anu. Very happy and have booked Anu several times in the coming weeks.”
“Fantastic dog care Very impressed with how Janette handles dogs It was our first time and Griffin was relaxed and peaceful when I picked him up, which is unusual using a first time sitter I highly recommend her, but not so much that I can’t find space to use her again!!! 5+ stars”
“Michelle is super nice. We felt comfortable leaving Mazy in her care. Mazy had a day of fun I know this because she has been sleeping for 3 hours since we picked her up. Would definitely use her again”
“I believe our boys have found their new best friend! We have a couple of rescues and one of them is high energy, high anxiety. We really needed someone who could help him become more comfortable around other dogs—needed lots of patience! Tara is an answer to a prayer! We had two meet and greets with her dog, and we just picked them up from their first day of daycare. They did great and we are so happy to recommend Tara!”
“Our miniature dachshund "Monty" went to Olga for daycare a couple of times. He liked her very much and was well cared for by Olga and her family. Unfortunately we aren't able to book her anymore cause we just moved. We wish Olga and her family the very best.”
“Sarah and her family were great! She communicated throughout the day and send pictures! Obi was loved and spoiled from the second I dropped him off! Definitely will rebook with Sarah whenever I need daycare or boarding. Thank you Sarah!!”
“Gina was amazing with my pup nova. Her home was so cozy and clean. She was so well taken care of and had plenty of toys to play with. Her doodles were also the best companion for my nova to play with. Definitely will book with again!”
“SO MANY GOOD THINGS I COULD SAY!!! My boyfriend and I look at our two dogs, Hope (almost 2) and Zeus (3 months), like they are children. Our girl Hope can be an escape artist at times and is very active, so we have a collar for her with gps and tracking of her steps. With that being said, in the past I have not re-used some people off rover because Hope simply would not move the entire time!!! At Donnas, Hope and Zeus both ran and ran (after all I could tell). And had an absolute blast. Her yard is fenced in so no dog could get out, even our little lunatics. She knows so much about dogs I have never felt so confident with leaving our babies with someone before. Hope and Zeus will be back!! Truly a gem!”
About: My hubby and I are home and pet sitters for folks on LBK and surrounding areas. We LOVE some pups to play/spend time with when sitting pet-friendly condos and are also able to come stay with your pet in your home. We will play inside and outside, go for walks, use their family/familiar commands, snacks, food, and naps. Will follow any needed structure requested; example: if you do not allow your dog on furniture, I will follow suit. I offer overnight stays as well as daytime care, a la cart services as needed. I am currently at home each day so have plenty of time to play with and care for pups. I would enjoy the companionship myself as well! We are home and pet sitters and travel often. Although we tend to travel to the same places (clients) each year, our boarding availability depends on the condo we are sitting at the time and it's pet rules. If I cannot board your pup in at my place, I can usually come to you or provide daily drop-ins.

“Jewel was and is amazing with our pups! Sent many pictures of them so mom was very happy. One of our dogs tends to be very picky about who he stays with, he loved Jewel immediately. My husband and I couldn’t believe it. We will be booking with her again. They came home so happy and tried.”
“Charlie awas very responsive, and accommodating. His wife took Halo for a walk as soon as we arrived. Charlie sent pictures and updates on Halo. I would definitely recommend them.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with a natural connection to pets of all kinds. I grew up with Yorkies and cats, and today I share my home with two retired rescue greyhounds. I’ve also spent time around large breeds like English Mastiffs, so I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I bring a calm, patient energy that helps pets feel safe and comfortable—whether they’re shy, senior, or full of puppy energy. I understand how important it is for your pet to feel at ease while you’re away, and I’m fully committed to creating that sense of home and routine for them. From administering medications to taking gentle walks or simply being a warm presence, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My love for animals started at a very young age—I even worked at a veterinary hospital at age 14 as a dog trainer, which gave me hands-on experience in caring for and understanding pets. That early passion has only grown stronger over the years. Pet care is now a natural part of my daily life. I start and end each day with walks and quality time with my two retired greyhounds, so caring for animals is woven into my routine. Whether it’s feeding, walking, giving medication, or simply offering comfort and companionship, I genuinely enjoy every part of it. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention, care, and consistency they need—whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight stays, or weekend visits. Making animals feel loved and secure is something I take pride in, and it never feels like a task—it’s something I truly love. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always the same: to make them feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, and any special needs like medication or extra quiet time. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things tidy and consistent, so your pet feels secure while you’re away. I take the time to get to know their personality and provide calm companionship, play, and affection based on what they enjoy. In my home, pets are treated like family. I create a peaceful, pet-friendly environment with soft spaces to relax, lots of love, and a routine that helps reduce stress. Whether they need extra snuggles, slow-paced walks, or a little patience, I meet them where they are—physically and emotionally.
“Thank you for the last-minute day care. Logan was so exhausted from playing with the other dogs, he laid down for most of the ride home. We'll see you soon for more playtime!”

“Sky is awesome and that’s an under statement. Our dog felt very comfortable at the meet and greet to where he started sleeping by her feet within 20 min. She’s amazing with him. Gives pictures and updates throughout the walk. You 100% should choose her to care for your pets. She’s one of a kind and we just feel at ease when she’s coming.”

About: I have experience handling all sized dogs! I grew up with small dogs like bulldogs, terriers, pugs, etc until my mom rescued a pitbull who we have loved and has been the best dog! I have experience dog sitting anywhere from bulldogs to golden retrievers, golden doodles, and mastiff! I think what sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience with having lived with dogs my entire life. I am fully aware of their needs for exercise and love. I have been a dog lover since I can remember and it brings me joy to take care of them and to provide a warm and reliable environment for them. My schedule right now is pretty flexible and I would be willing to work around whatever schedule necessary for your dog to get the care it needs throughout the day! Thank you for considering me! I am pretty flexible and available during the week and weekends. I have two part time jobs that are flexible and allow for me to make my own schedule. I am unable to house dogs at my own place due to my renters agreement, however, I am beyond trustworthy with staying at other peoples homes and/or visiting for walks. I strive to keep the home clean to the degree that I found it and make sure the dog or cat feels safe in its home.
About: I was raised in a family full of animals growing up, and was taught how to take care of and train our dogs since I was a child. I have walked 350+ dogs and have a 5 star rating on other dog walking apps. Having been around dogs my whole life, I realize that every dog is different, and each need their own unique care and attention so they can be mentally and physically happy and healthy. I will make sure your pup is loved as if he/she were my own, and they will have a blast too! I love taking tons of photos and videos, and love to keep you posted on how your pup is doing during their stay/walk. Looking forward to working with you.

About: My tagline is how I see pets - they are family! I grew up having dogs, cats, bunnies, and fish. When I moved to Florida 5 years ago, I didn’t have any family so I decided to pick up pet sitting. I understand the importance of catering to each animal’s needs. If your pet is laid back and wants cuddles, we can do that. If your pet is energetic and needs to run, we can do that too! I look forward to meeting you and your furry fam 😊 I currently have a full time job M-F, 8-5 that is flexible with working from home. There are rare times where I need to go into the office, so I require that your pet is fine being alone for 4-8 hours. I also have a dog and cat who are friendly with other dogs and cats. My dog is 2 and loves to play. When boarding, I have ample space to set up your pet’s crate, bed etc in the living room or bedroom if they typically keep it there. I’m a big cuddler, so I am fine with them sleeping in the bed if that is what they are used to. I have a fully fenced in backyard, so rest assured your pets can run free safely. I also just purchased a kiddie pool for fun water days in the hot summer heat!
About: I grew up with 2 dogs and 3 cats and now have 2 cats of my own. I would walk to neighbors houses just to play with their pets! Mice, lizards, chinchillas, dogs, cats, any pet you could have, I was there to play with them! Throw any challenge my way and I can handle it as I have taken care of pets my whole life in many situations I live right next to my job offering me immediate access to my home if needed. I am home everyday for lunch requiring me extra time to care for animals. I also do not go into work on Mondays and Wednesdays until 10 and get out of work on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3 making a lot of time available everyday for animals! I live next to an open field awesome for running dogs around. I also live in a nice HOA community that loves dogs and has ample room for them. The inside of my house is extremely pet friendly as many of my family members have pets that come over my house

Walking the pets, giving them all the kisses and cuddles they want, making sure they have play time, giving them fresh water and food as well if needed.
About: Growing up, I always begged for a pet every chance I got. I have so much love, appreciation, and passion for not only pets but for animals as a whole, and this hasn't changed since I was a kid. In my free time I enjoy playing with my pets and watching animal documentaries. In terms of experience, I am PetTech certified, I am working with a local pet sitting business for over a year now, where I do drop-in visits for dogs and cats, as well as walks and house sitting too! I also previously volunteered with a local animal shelter where I worked with mainly cats and kittens, and dogs on occasion. As a volunteer, my responsibilities mostly included transport, playing with the shelter animals, weighing, and checking in/watching. I currently have 2 cats, 1 male and 1 female, that I got as kittens. I have had these cats for about 2 years. In the past, I had a dog for 3 years. My responsibilities with these pets include/included feeding, bathing, playing, walking, cleaning up after, etc. I am not currently working and have reliable transportation. I have a flexible schedule and lots of time to take care of and spend time with your furry friends! I have experience pet sitting in clients' homes before. I am detail oriented and follow the directions left by clients well! I clean up after not only myself but also your furry friends and leave the home as I found it!
About: Many walks are in store if appropriate for your pup, as well as engaging play and relaxing belly rubs too! I have a 20 year history of caring for horses & dogs of my own; giving medications, grooming, exercising, & feeding. I provide my dog Ellie with chiropractic & stretching care after a running injury 3 years ago. You can be certain that contributing to the well-being of your furry companion is truly a passion of mine. I’m currently working part-time very close to my home, so I am available every morning, most days, & every evening for walks. Boarding at my home is available throughout the week & on the weekends. I have a big fenced in yard with plenty of room to play with my friendly doggo, Ellie. I am able to crate your pup if needed. My home provides lots of open space, a nice screened in Florida room, and multiple spots for sun-soaked naps! We are located within 15 minutes of SRQ Sarasota Bradenton airport. We are also a quick 5 minute car ride to GT Bray park, or Robinson preserve for adventuring at its finest!
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have 3. I have experience with small and big dogs, ranging from a yorkie to a golden retriever. I have taken care of different family members’ dogs and love to play and snuggle with them! I work part time and my days vary so I will make my availability around my work hours. When I work, it is between 7-3:30 on the week days so I could stop in the morning before a shift and right after if it works for you. When I do not work, I have full availability and can coordinate with you how often I should see your pet! I’m very flexible with the wants of the client! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority! I make sure your pets are always supervised, kept in a safe and clean environment, and cared for according to their normal routine to help them feel comfortable. I will gladly send pictures throughout the day if you want updates and see your pets!
About: Hello - my name is Clay. I am currently a doctorate student. I have taken care of dogs, all breeds and sizes, for well over a decade. I have taken care of sick babies who are on strict diets and medication and vitamin regimens. I also have experience administering fluids. I’d love to care for your babies next! (No cats) I have fairly open availability. I am currently only working on my doctorate degree. I am easily able to pause on those things and come take care of your baby, or do my schoolwork while house sitting. I only care for babies at the client’s house. I give lots of potty breaks and treats. If there is no yard or park, I enjoy taking long walks with your pup. No doubt they will be well cared for!
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors/friends dogs and senior dogs, which also includes time to ease owners worries. My goal is to provide home care away. I currently lost my job of 21 years and have always wanted to work, take care of animals. No children & lots of love to provide I have a large, fenced in yard. My dog loves to play with other dogs & my cat watches oh so closely. They love it.
About: Hi! My name is Amanda! My family and I have been. On Rover for over 3 years now. We currently both work outside of the home full time, with flexible schedules. We have four kids (16,15,13,8) who love dogs and help us a ton! They are all receptive to dogs and know when to leave them be due to the dog being nervous or to cuddle them when they are comfortable. We have a large fenced in yard and have experience with giving medication as well. We look forward for the chance to care for your pets while you are gone! My job is flexible. I work close to home full time with frequent opportunities for breaks, so I am available during a wide variety of times needed. While boarding I have opportunity for a number of walks a day. I have a fenced in yard. If I care for multiple dogs, I introduce them slowly, and always feed separately, to avoid any issues. There is opportunity for blended play/snuggles as well as 1:1.
“I'm so thankful for Sarah taking my 11 year old corgi (Phil) on daily walks. She has been a savior helping us 4 times a week for 5 months. She is dependable, professional, trustworthy, and she communicates any concerns. Finally Phil and I are getting a new home with a fenced yard... but I would call Sarah again if I needed help because she is fantastic.”

“Michelle was absolutely wonderful. She is so kind and loving. During the entire stay, she took the time to share pictures of my Brunello several times a day. She is extremely quick to respond at any communication. I felt at peace during the whole time. And when I picked up my baby, he was full of joy and relaxed which showed me how much he enjoyed his stay with Michelle. We found our loving sitter for our baby ans we re so grateful !”
“Sarah took VERY good care of Dixie while I was away for the weekend. She provided constant updates with photos and video and she and her boys kept Dixie active and engaged. When I picked her up, I had a VERY tired dog. A tired dog is a happy dog. I would not hesitate to have Sarah take care of Dixie again.”
“Kym and Glen were kind enough to take Winnie at the last minute for me. They went above and beyond to make Winnie comfortable and happy for her first visit. They have a perfect dog friendly set up as a Rover.com dog. Both of them love dogs very much. Winnie slept with them and really enjoyed her visit. There is nothing like the personal touch. Thank you Kym and Glen for being so good at caring for our pets! I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a great place to leave their furr babies. Susan and Winnie”
“Tara is AMAZING! Our pup boarded with her full time for a week while we were out of town. Professional, caring, reliable, and communicative, just to name a few of her wonderful care giving qualities. Lots of pictures and communication every day. Even on short notice and on top of that our pup started going into a heat cycle while in her care. Tara kept us updated and made sure our pup was safe, loved, and cared for. Could not be happier with this experience and I highly recommend Tara!”
“He has experience in taking care of a high energy dog, at first I was cautious as I dont know how yoki will be with kids 10 under, but he did ok. Jarrad was trying to figure out how to work the apps but eventually was able to send photos. Will see him next time!”
“We LOVED how Danielle took care of our Josie. I think Josie loved her, too! We got several notes each day, with pics and an occasional video. It was clear that Josie was truly enjoying her stay. Huge thanks go to Danielle for taking on our 75 pound, energetic lab. High recommendations for her - but leave room on her calendar for future Josie visits.”
“Picked our bernadoodle up earlier today from her first visit/overnight stay with Hope and Scott. Video/photos and text exchanged. We couldn't be happier with the service they provided. Had a bad experience with a previous sitter who temporarily lost our dog. I know our Teddi is now safe and sound with Hope and Scotts care.”
“Kendal and Dre are amazing! River loves to visit and has the very best time! It makes leaving her that much easier when we know she is so well cared for!”
“Great communication skills. She was very with fast response to request. She sent pictures of her space to make sure it would work for our needs. She also sent an update and pictures of our boys while in her care.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Incredible Dog Sitter! We couldn’t be happier with the care our pups, Polo and Luna, received! From the moment we met, it was clear our sitter genuinely loves animals. Polo and Luna instantly warmed up to them — which says a lot, since polo can be a bit shy and well, Luna is very full of energy! Throughout our time away, we received regular updates, adorable photos, and little notes about their day that put our minds completely at ease. She went above and beyond — not just feeding and walking the dogs, but giving them the attention, playtime, and love they’re used to at home. When we returned, both Polo and Luna were happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. It honestly felt like they were on a vacation of their own!”
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for several years and truly understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. As a pet owner myself, I have hands-on experience with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, daily walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I have real-life experience caring for my own animals and helping friends and family with theirs. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for pets of different temperaments — from energetic pups to independent or shy cats. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I currently work part-time and create my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, including afternoons and evenings. Because of my flexible schedule, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive consistent care and attention. I have a fully fenced backyard with grass for safe outdoor play and live within walking distance of a dog park for extra exercise (with owner approval). Inside my home, pets are supervised and kept in a calm, clean environment. I can easily follow specific feeding schedules, crate routines, medication instructions, or litter box preferences. For cats, I ensure litter boxes stay clean, provide enrichment and playtime, and respect their space if they prefer quiet companionship. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
“What a wonderful family, and our sweet dog came back happy, healthy, and unstressed. I will definitely reach out again to have them dog-sit. Karson was so thoughtful to send us pictures showing how she was adjusting, since this was the first time she had ever been left with someone. Thank you!”
About: Your dog deserves more than a typical boarding experience—they deserve a calm, loving home where they feel safe, relaxed, and truly cared for. With over 22 years of hands-on experience, I provide a private, cage-free environment designed for comfort, attention, and peace of mind. I intentionally keep my care more personal and intimate, so each dog receives the time, affection, and supervision they deserve—something I felt was missing in many traditional facilities. Your dog will live as part of my home, not in kennels or behind closed doors. I’m with them 24/7, offering constant care, companionship, and a peaceful routine. My space is designed so dogs always feel included, even if brief separation is needed, using open, visible areas rather than isolation. I also have a large, securely fenced yard for safe outdoor play and relaxation. I am CPR certified and experienced in administering both oral and injectable medications, so you can feel completely confident in your dog’s health and safety. While you’re away, I provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is not only safe—but genuinely happy, comfortable, and loved. My goal is simple: to give you the feeling that you never truly left your dog behind. Caring for dogs isn’t something I fit into my day—it is my day. I keep a small group so I can give each dog my full attention, carefully observing their behavior and well-being. This allows me to notice even subtle changes and respond quickly, keeping you informed and your dog safe, comfortable, and truly cared for at all times. In my home, dogs are never just watched—they’re truly cared for. I stay closely attuned to their needs, whether it’s noticing when they want to go outside, play in the yard, rest, or simply need comfort. I make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and understood, with plenty of love, attention, and a calm, secure environment throughout their stay.
“Jessica and Melissa took great care of our two pups. They listened intently to all instructions and went above and beyond with their care. They noticed a small healing wound on our dog’s paw (there before their stay) and applied ointment to it to help it heal. We were provided with daily pictures and written updates. They had a blast, played hard, and made lots of friends on their large property. Would highly encourage others to use them!”
“Charlie is the absolute best!! My Piper was right at home and I got so many updates and photos. He was flexible and played with her so much She came back home nice and tired. The best feeling after traveling. Highly recommend Charlie!”
