My wife’s passing, I am alone & retired. Looking to share some time with dogs again. I live in a courtyard villa that is a wall protected playground. My house is dog friendly, just waiting to share time with your little furry one. Your dog will get excellent attention, love & care while here. My furniture & floors are clean.& pet-friendly with plenty of toys to enjoy. Even a doggy door. Come for a meet & greet and see for yourself.❤️🐶
“The boarding with Gage and Ann was everything I could hope for and more! My recent rescue melted into their loving structure like he had always been family. The regular updates and the prompt communication made it easy to relax and not worry about my pup one bit. My pup isn’t the easiest to manage and Gage was spectacular at recognizing body language cues and helped bring out more confidence in my dog. I will happily rebook any time I need a sitter!”
“So attentive and caring! I received pictures of my pup throughout my trip without needing to ask. I felt my pup was safe and in good hands the entire time. I will be using these services again in the future!”
“Very caring and loving sitter. The dogs were really well kept. She was extremely patient and went above and beyond with my geriatric dog, which was greatly appreciated.”
“Did so good with my dog, sent updates, and loving towards her. Elisa has a great big backyard and followed instructions with my dog. Elisa was very personable with us and so kind. Exactly what my dog needed. I would leave my dog there with her again.”
“We are retired so we travel a lot. We have never boarded our dogs with a more competent dog sitter. Our dogs actually leep out of the car to get to her when we drive in the driveway. Our dogs are English Bulldog Champions and one is intact, but Peggy manages his care profesionally--even on Thanksgiving day. As a vet technician she was also able to administer medication to our older dog. She lives on a farm so there is a lot of area for dogs to run off leash. They don't sleep in a kennel building, they sleep in her house! She is a lovely person with a good heart.”
“Alexus and her family provided wonderful care for our precious puppy. Their home is clean and welcoming and she provided continuous updates throughout our dog’s stay. We would gladly go back there when the need arises and recommend her highly. Thanks Alexus”
“Needed to board our dog max for 2 weeks during an international trip at the last minute. They were both very friendly and accommodating of our dog! Will definitely book again!”
About: I love animals, especially dogs and cats. I am respectful and considerate, and I spoil and pet them all the time. I have been taking care of animals practically since I was a child. I am aware that they have important basic needs to consider, such as bathroom time, meal time, walk time. If they need special care or to take any medication, I am also happy to fulfill them. I work remotely from home, so I'm available to provide objective, dedicated, and responsible care. I can answer your questions via text message. And if you decide to, give me a call; I'll be happy to help your furry friends. Abrir en They will be in my constant company. I have a living room with a dining room and an additional room, spacious spaces, and a small balcony in my apartment if they like to look outside. This would be accompanied by me, of course. They will never be alone. I am very affectionate with them. I can follow the routine you have planned (as similar as possible) to your pet's so that your absence is bearable and pleasant. Just write to me and tell me what you are looking for. I will be happy to help you.
“I was very nervous considering we’ve never left our boy before, but Remy had so much fun! He slept for two days when got home lol. So thankful that we have a place for him to stay and be taken care of when we go on vacation!”
“I absolutely could not have found a better couple to take care of my beautiful 12 lb Shih Tzu. I never let anyone take care of him but I had to because I was visiting here and they answered quickly and I was so overjoyed. I'm so blessed to have found them so quickly and my Giovanni was so blessed to have them take care of him. Thank you so much for taking care of my sweet boy and giving him a happy home for 6 nights. You all are amazing! God bless you.”
“Thank you so much for letting Bailey come to stay. He clearly enjoyed his visit or as we say, playtime with new friends. He came home with his tail wagging and snuggled right back into our normal routine. Again, thank you for caring for our sweet little fluffer as if he was yours.”
“Diana was perfect! Every single day she sent me videos of Ginger… And I loved it, I could see how happy Ginger was and how much she was loving being in there! I really recommend Diana’s services!”
“June was so nice, easy to work and communicate with, and most important of all she took great care of Sadie. She sent updates and pictures frequently. I’ll definitely have her sit for Sadie in the future if she’s available.”
“Maryjane is by far the best choice we could have made for Loyal. She was a tuff case due to extreme attachment to us during covid. We were worried about leaving for a week on vacation and looked high and low for a doggie lover that would be able to deal with her. We started 3 weeks before our trip and Loyal was stubborn and wishy washy for a couple of weeks but finally with Maryjane’s persistence and patience they had a breakthrough of connection and friendship. Maryjane sent us several pictures and really made us both feel comfortable to enjoy ourselves out of town without worrying about her mental state. We are keeping our normal visits and fully recommend Maryjane. She is truly one of the best! Thank you!”

“Sabrina was beyond phenomenal! From the first meet and greet, we immediately felt confident that she would be responsible to watch our home and our cat. She was timely, organized and clean, communicative, and sent us the cutest photo updates. She is also very detail oriented and shared a few updates on our cat to ensure we were aware of a few habits that could be indicative of a developing ear infection. We cannot wait to hire Sabrina again in the future!”
“Lori was amazing with our cat Nala! Nala warmed right up to Lori and played with her. I was so happy that we could go away knowing our cat was well cared for in a loving way. Thank you Lori!”
“This is the third time Carol Ann lived up on Blossom! She’s amazing and goes above and beyond as if it was her own fur baby. Blossom takes time to warm up with folks. Third time was the charm. We were delighted to get multiple photos and updates daily. Blossom loves and trusts her. It made our heart warm to know she was being so loved. She is a lovely and compassionate person and feel lucky to know her. I highly recommend her sitting or staying with your pet. To travel and know your fur baby is so well taken care of and loved is truly amazing. Thanks C! 💕”
“Attentive and responsive sitter. Victoria communicated with us during an unexpected neighborhood emergency, working with first responders to permit her access to our pets and relayed pertinent information to us. She thoughtfully informed us of issues which might point to a health concern. Will recommend and will certainly request her services again.”
“Misty came by for a third meet and greet with Mia and we went over feeding instructions and the walking route for her morning post breakfast walk. Mia recognized Misty and was wagging her tail. Misty was good with Mia and there were no problems walking, or coming in the house. Misty was on time, even for early morning visit which was appreciated. Thanks!”
“Joanna was very flexible and patient with the schedule. I could tell she cared about my cats. I appreciate her being able to take care of my cats last minute. I will be definitely using her again.”
About: I grew up around cats and have always been comfortable caring for them and understanding their different personalities and routines. Over the years, I’ve helped care for cats in both home and pet sitting settings, including feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and providing a calm environment while owners are away. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and aim to provide dependable, attentive care so both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease.
“Emely was amazing! It was our first time leaving our 6 month old cat alone, so I was worried about him. Emely made friends with him very quickly. She sent me lots of pictures everyday showing playtime and cuddle time. She is so good at caring for animals. I am so pleased and happy that we found her. I highly recommend her and will certainly hire her for future needs. Just an awesome pet sitter. She truly cares for animals and takes time to introduce herself to them. Just the best!”
About: What can I say, I didn't choose the cat dad life. The cat dad life chose me. I have about 4 years of experience with cats, and we recently just adopted our own. She chose us, and she's is the perfect fit. I'm confident your cats will too when you are away. I will treat them like my own with lots of playful activities and churrus. You can count on me for the purrfect cat care!
“Ona is a very personable and reliable cat sitter. Rosie was glad to see Ona and Ona kept in great communication with me, as well as responding quickly to my emails. A great experience and I’d book with Ona again.”
“Cheryl was simply great. Bonded with our cat which is no easy task. She deserves 5 stars. She'll be first on our request list and we hope she is available for cat care in the future.”
About: I’ve had cats in the past and cared for them deeply as part of my home, including a rescue cat who was incredibly sweet and affectionate—we loved him very much and he was truly part of our family. Currently, I care for a stray cat named Whiskers, making sure he is fed, safe, and comfortable every day. This has given me experience with independent and outdoor cats, as well as understanding their behavior and needs. Living in Florida, I’ve also experienced emergency situations like hurricanes with pets, so I take safety and preparedness very seriously. Your cat’s well-being, comfort, and routine will always be my priority. What sets me apart is the level of attention and genuine care I give. I don’t just stop by—I take time to observe how each cat is doing, respect their personality, and make sure they feel safe, calm, and cared for.
“I cannot say enough about how great Berkley was. She went above and beyond while dropping in on my cats. Berkley took extra care in making sure the cats were happy and cared for. I received plenty of videos and pictures of all 3 of my cats while I was away. Made me feel at peace knowing they were so well cared for while I was out of state. I would absolutely use Berkley again!”
About: I've been blessed to have had dogs and cats most of my entire life. This is the first time I haven't had my own dog and I miss her daily. Pet sitting fills a void in my heart and I will do everything to ensure your pet is happy, healthy and well taken care of. I recently relocated back to California from Lake Lure, North Carolina. My entire community in Western NC was devastated by Hurricane Helene and I was evacuated and returned home near my family. I have enjoyed all of the amazing dogs and animals I have had the pleasure of sitting in the past through Rover.com. Now that I am back in CA I would like to continue my work with animals. I am a responsible caring person who loves animals and am currently available to help with your pets in Santa Maria, Santa Barbara, or Santa Ynez Valley. I would never trust a client's dog off a leash. Your animals will never be left alone and always escorted on their walks, unless otherwise told by the owner. Your pets will enjoy the comforts of their own home and be safe while you are away.
“Jackie was wonderful and my dog seemed to warm to her. Jackie took lots of pictures, kept my home orderly and was professional. I'm looking forward to many more visits with Sweety!!”

About: I have been a pet owner (dogs and/or cats) for over 30 years of my life. I have past experience as a vet tech and a groomer, and I would love the opportunity to meet and treat your pup as one of my own. We have two other pups in the home who love other dogs and are hoping they’ll have a chance to play with your dogs soon! I currently work remotely, from my home for my job, so I am available to care for your pet(s) any time they may need it. I have a fenced back yard (half of which is 6ft vinyl privacy fencing) and two energetic pups of my own, to keep your doggo(s) entertained for hours.
“Karla took great care of my dog, Fig! She had so much fun she was excited to go back the next day for daycare. Karla did a great job communicating with me and sent pictures. I’d recommend her services!”
“Kelicathran was so nice and accommodating. We never had time for a meet and greet but it was as if she already knew us. She welcomed all of us and took excellent care of our girls. We loved the pics. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: I’ll be delighted to take care of your little ones, whether they’re dogs or cats, from babies to adults. My time is to dedicate myself to them, ensuring they are well cared for and happy at all times. I can administer their medication, feed them according to their needs, and provide plenty of playtime and attention. My home is very spacious, with a special area where they can run and play freely. In addition, I have a park and a golf course nearby, perfect for long and safe walks, where your pets can enjoy the outdoors and exercise. With me, your pet will receive the care and love they deserve in a comfortable and safe environment. I am a certified groomer, and I am available for morning and afternoon walks during the week, as well as for boarding services. I have full availability during the week and dedicate my mornings and afternoons to walking, feeding, and playing with pets. My experience and flexible schedule allow me to adapt to e specific needs, including administering medication and following the owners’ instructions. My priority is to ensure each pet is safe, happy, and well cared for, keeping them at the center of my attention. At my home, pets receive the care and attention they need to feel comfortable and secure. My house environment allows them to play and relax freely, with access to fresh water and food. I maintain a routine that includes outdoor walks for exercise and follow owners’ instructions regarding medication and dietary needs. My priority is to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. We grew up with a small farm, horses, cows, chickens, bunnies, guinea pigs dogs cats you name it we’ve had it. To be honest, I enjoy animals more than people most times but I’m retired and find It’s very boring so I would love to have something to keep me busy.. I can come to your home or you can bring your pets to mine. I have a fenced in yard lots of room for them to run. I am retired and have lots of time on my hands. I would love to take care of your fur baby and give them lots of love I have a fenced in yard. I do have a small Shih Tzu. He’s very friendly loves people and dogs only thing he bites is lizards.
“Maria was awesome. She drove 30 min each way to pick Saga up and drop her off every day. Was always responsive to my questions and concerns and sent updates often pics and messages. Highly recommend.”
About: I've had pets in my life since I was young. I've taken care of dogs, cats, wolves,snakes and horses. Dogs and cats from youth to end of life care. Animals seem to like and trust me, so much so that my wife calls me the animal whisperer. :) I'm retired and am available every day of the week unless I'm out of town visiting relatives in North Carolina. I do go to the gym several times per week but I'm not gone over an hour each time. I have plenty of places to take pets for walks and there are dog parks close by as well. If your pet requires being crated at night etc that's no problem.
About: Hi! I’m an experienced and reliable dog walker with a genuine love for animals and a passion for providing safe, attentive care. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies who love adventure to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience. I understand that every dog is unique, so I take time to learn their routines, personality, and individual needs to make sure they feel comfortable and happy. My goal is to give your dog not only exercise, but also companionship, attention, and a positive experience while you’re away. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to treating every dog like family. Safety is always my top priority, and I believe in positive reinforcement, consistency, and building trust with both pets and owners. You can count on regular updates and communication so you can feel confident knowing your furry friend is in caring hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pup and becoming someone both of you can rely on! I don’t have a daily routine or pets of my own at this time, I have learned that pet care becomes a set of repeating rhythms spread across the day rather than one big task. A typical routine often looks like this: * Morning: feeding, fresh water, a walk or litter-box cleanup, and a quick check that the pet seems normal in energy and behavior. * During the day: exercise, play, mental stimulation, bathroom breaks, and attention that matches the animal’s needs. * Evening: another meal if needed, more activity or bonding time, grooming for some pets, and preparing a comfortable sleep setup. * Less frequent tasks: brushing, nail trims, cleaning habitats or bedding, training, medications, and vet appointments. Different pets shift the balance a lot. A dog may anchor your day around walks and exercise, while a cat may need shorter play sessions and litter maintenance. Good home pet care usually includes consistent food and fresh water, regular exercise and play, a clean living space, grooming, and attention to health and behavior. Dogs often need walks and training; cats need litter-box maintenance and play. I also watch for changes in appetite, energy, or behavior because those can be early signs that something is off.
“Adrienne was very warm and welcoming, and great with Mulligan. Mulligan had a great time during the meet and greet and during his stay with her and her husband! We would definitely book with her again.”
“Wonderful sitters, Bill and Krista. My wife and I had to drive from California and needed to board our five small furry ones for an afternoon while we secured housing. Bill is a gracious host with a beautiful back yard and his love for animals is very evident. Can’t go wrong with these guys. Will be using their services again.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. When I was a little girl I would always help take care of my animals with my mother. I used to live on a farm and I have had experience with many different pets/animals. I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, farm animals and small animals. I also have experience with bathing, trimming nails, cleaning ears, and expressing anal glands. I can also administer medications. This is my full time job so I can do my very best to accommodate anyone who needs a pet sitter who truly cares about their pets. My wife and daughters help me sometimes as well. Our daughters are also knowledgeable in pet care from getting hands on experience through me. My wife just come with me every where I stay for Moral support. 💕 I have a fully privacy fenced in yard. If the pet is in a home without fence I will be sure to leash walk your pet for safety reasons. If your pet feels comfortable in a crate feel free to bring it. Also if there is a special toy, bed or something they enjoy or prefer they can bring it along for their stay.
About: I've been caring for cats and dogs for over 5 years, looking after pets for friends, family and neighbours. As a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford, I'm responsible, detail-oriented and great with routines — your pet's feeding, medication and walk schedule will always be followed precisely. I have my own car, so vet visits or unexpected trips are never a problem. I genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that's long walks, play sessions or quiet cuddles on the sofa. Your pet will get attentive, affectionate care while you're away. I work flexibly from home most of the time, which means your pet will rarely be left alone*!!!!!! The only exception is Monday and Tuesday daytime, when I'm out at the office — outside of those hours, I'm fully available evenings, nights and all weekend for feeding, walks, play and cuddles. This makes me a great fit for boarding, drop-in visits and dog walking throughout the week. I own my home, so there are no landlord restrictions or sudden moves — your pet will stay in a stable, welcoming environment. The apartment is clean, quiet and pet-friendly, with a small private garden where dogs can safely stretch their legs, sniff around and enjoy some outdoor time. Inside, I'll set up a comfortable spot for your pet to relax and settle in. I always make sure doors and gates are secure before letting them out, and I stick closely to any feeding, medication or walking routine you provide. You'll get daily photo and video updates, and I'm always reachable by message if anything comes up.
“Janelly was great! We were somewhat nervous as Chase is new to us as well, but she set our minds at ease. Her family is lovely and she provided a video of Chaserino playing with her boys, happy pup!! We will absolutely work with her again! Thank you so much!”
About: I love dogs. Friends call me the whisperer. I lost my Princess 2 years ago to cancer and I find that this is the best medicine for me. I love to travel so having another baby right now is not in the cards. Taking care of your baby is the next best thing. I have had people fly me out to Portland, California, and New York to pet sit for them. I absolutley love it. Some of the dogs I have cared for were sick or new family members. I love to take them on new adventures but only if Mom and Dad are okay with it. I also love to train, play, and hug on them. My only job is taking care of your dog, so I am with them the entire day and night. Sometimes they will go on a golf cart ride with me. My yard is not fenced in so your dog would be walked regularly. There are plenty of grassy areas next to and accross the street from me. If there is a schedule you have for the dog that is what will be followed.

About: I’m home all day/night pet sitting full time! Once I became a pet owner I never looked back. My fury child is my life. As a pet owner for 14 years I am very skillful in all areas of pet car from teeth brushing to tick picking. I have seen them grow old, loose their hearing, sight and ability to walk, but never once treated them like an old dog. I take seriously the need for touch by brushing their hair as often as possible and giving belly ribs when they turn on their backs for that special attention. My bed is their bed as they like to cuddle and feel safe and secure. I am a morning person and love feeling the brisk air as I watch pets take to the grass for their morning outing. I am home all day/night! I am available as early as 5:30am to receive your fury child into my home. I have plenty of space for them to play and I for one like to keep them in my site. Especially the little ones, they can get into so much. I have 4 dogs parks right in my community and each one is covered in grass. I love to walk, so your pet will never be taken off schedule. I have the best water-resistant floors in the event of any accidents, just wipe and go. I take work/life balance breaks so always free to play with your pets. I am currently home all day/night! I can feed twice a day or more, and I offer treats, walks and lots of play time. I can separate your pet, if need be. I have lots of sleeping space for those that are just tired little pups. My house is quiet, no children so no bother. I have a closed in balcony which provide a nice look out point for your pet. I have stuff animals and dog toys that I leave around the house for playmates as well.
“Lori is AMAZING! It takes a very special pet sensitive person to be able to calm a new rescue animal who has been through trauma. Lori had Pippy literally eating out of her hand by the second walk! And Kingsley was equally pleased with her services! 6 paws 🐾🐾 🐾! ❤️”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, from horses to dogs, cats, birds, and geckos, providing professional, gentle, and loving care to pets of all kinds with patience and dedication.

About: I will take care of your dog and play with them when I come on the visits. I will also take them to the park and run with them. I own a boston terrier and a pit bull and they are my loves. I will care for your dog like they are my own. I can also take care of puppy's and will give them the attention they need. I Have always not only love dogs but every animal. I wanted to be a vet when I was little just so I could work with animals. I think dogs are the best animals because they comfort anyone who is upset or just bring joy to your life. I think dogs have a purpose to make their owners happy and will love you unconditionally. I am doing dog sitting and dog walking part time. I am available Monday through Friday. I have a main job and I work from home Monday and Friday so four day weekends are better for me to dog sit. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday I go into the office so I can only do two drop in visits during those days. I work on weekends as well. I would come inside the house and greet the pups. I would make sure to take them out to go potty and then give them a treat before I go.

“Mary Catherine was lovely! She communicated well, and showed up on time and prepared. She asked all the right questions before walking my rescue dog Bella. She took her time getting to know Bella before going on their first walk and was very gentle and comforting to her. I would highly recommend her!”

About: UPDATE: I loved my past dog sittings, however I took time off to be a caregiver for my husband and then my dad. My best boy Oreo recently crossed the Rainbow Bridge and I am ready to shower that love on your furry loved ones. I love all animals and have a fondness for dogs of any type. I have had various size dogs all my life. I have been involved with animal rescue organizations, as well as fostered many dogs. My current dog was a foster that I ended up adopting. I am retired and available to take care of your fur babies in your home! I love playing, snuggling, and walking with them. Your fur babies will get plenty of attention and I will provide pictures while you are away. It will be my honor to take care of your cherished family member and ensure they are happy. Since I am retired my schedule is flexible. I am available to care for your fur baby and take care of your home, as needed. I will follow all guidelines you provide in caring for your fur baby at home. Snuggling on the sofa or giving them space is ok.
About: Im in my 50's but Ive always loved animals since i was very young.. i was in 4-H as a teenager & thats when I started petsitting. When I was 28 i started my petsitting/housesitting business. I had that business for 20 years in Ohio. We moved here in 2019. I have continued my petsitting here & love what I do! My visits are about 30 minutes. I do feeding, watering, litter boxes, medications, insulin is okay also. I will bring in the mail and newspaper and water plants & fill birdfeeders. I enjoy walking dogs as well as playing with them in their yard. I am comfortable with many other pets including cats, Birds, fish ()I have a 40 gallon aquarium, & a 10 gallon) hamsters, gerbils (& other rodents) guinea pigs, ferrets, rabbits, iguanas and other lizards. Thank you so much! I also have experience with horses, ducks, goats & a few cows lol! Petsitting is my career so thats my priority. Visits are tailored to your pets needs. I like to schedule as far in advance as possible so I work my days off around what I have in the book. I tailor my visits according to your pet's needs. I can do as many visits per day as you would like. I can also stay longer if you need. When I do "housesitting " , its a bedtime visit, sleepover & morning visit before I head out for other clients. I will do as many drop-in visits as you would like during the day before I return for the overnight (housesit).
“Robin is amazing! This was our first experience leaving our fur baby with a sitter. From the initial meet and greet Robin made us feel very comfortable and confident in the loving and safe care she would provide. We were able to travel with ease knowing Charlie was in good hands.Very happy we found Robin and look forward to booking in the future.”
About: I've been blessed to have had dogs and cats most of my entire life. This is the first time I haven't had my own dog and I miss her daily. Pet sitting fills a void in my heart and I will do everything to ensure your pet is happy, healthy and well taken care of. I recently relocated back to California from Lake Lure, North Carolina. My entire community in Western NC was devastated by Hurricane Helene and I was evacuated and returned home near my family. I have enjoyed all of the amazing dogs and animals I have had the pleasure of sitting in the past through Rover.com. Now that I am back in CA I would like to continue my work with animals. I am a responsible caring person who loves animals and am currently available to help with your pets in Santa Maria, Santa Barbara, or Santa Ynez Valley. I would never trust a client's dog off a leash. Your animals will never be left alone and always escorted on their walks, unless otherwise told by the owner. Your pets will enjoy the comforts of their own home and be safe while you are away.
About: Back in 2014, my parents adopted my sweet Sadie girl! Ever since then, I have learned the responsibility of caring for my girl and giving her all the lovings! She has led me to caring for other dogs by walking and feeding them at their owners request. I’m a full-time teacher for FCPS, but am looking for something to do after school and on the weekends. I am available 7 days a week other than when my brewery that I work at part-time schedules me. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings on Saturday and Sunday. I can also be available on weekdays in the late afternoon. Once summer comes around, I will be very flexible and will adjust to your schedule. I am more than willing to bring your puppy to my fenced in courtyard at my apartment complex. I am comfortable putting dogs into crates as well and feeding.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was a kid! I’ve always own dogs growing up. I use to work at a doggy day care/ boarding facility as well as a vet clinic. I took care of all types of dogs and cats. During my time at the day care I’ve had hand on experience with all different types of breeds (big and small) As I worked in the day care, I learned to bathe and groom dogs as well. I will always make sure you’re dog gets the daily exercise they need as well as tender, love, and care! I can do drop in visits for cats as well! I’m a huge animal lover and can care for any animal! I use to dog sit and cat sit for family friends, old managers, and family members throughout my life. Taking care of animals is very important to me I’m currently a full time college student and will be home all the time expect for the occasional errands. All of my classes are online which allows me to be home to love and care for you’re dog. I love to stay active and go on walks to the park and of course would bring you’re dog along! Since I am home full time I will be able to give you’re dog the time and attention they need while you’re away! I always want to make sure you’re dog is health and happy! If it’s okay with you, I would love to treat you’re dog to a pup cup after our walks. You can ask me any question and will keep you informed on how they are doing with pictures as well!

“The boarding with Gage and Ann was everything I could hope for and more! My recent rescue melted into their loving structure like he had always been family. The regular updates and the prompt communication made it easy to relax and not worry about my pup one bit. My pup isn’t the easiest to manage and Gage was spectacular at recognizing body language cues and helped bring out more confidence in my dog. I will happily rebook any time I need a sitter!”
“We are retired so we travel a lot. We have never boarded our dogs with a more competent dog sitter. Our dogs actually leep out of the car to get to her when we drive in the driveway. Our dogs are English Bulldog Champions and one is intact, but Peggy manages his care profesionally--even on Thanksgiving day. As a vet technician she was also able to administer medication to our older dog. She lives on a farm so there is a lot of area for dogs to run off leash. They don't sleep in a kennel building, they sleep in her house! She is a lovely person with a good heart.”
“Alexus and her family provided wonderful care for our precious puppy. Their home is clean and welcoming and she provided continuous updates throughout our dog’s stay. We would gladly go back there when the need arises and recommend her highly. Thanks Alexus”
“I was very nervous considering we’ve never left our boy before, but Remy had so much fun! He slept for two days when got home lol. So thankful that we have a place for him to stay and be taken care of when we go on vacation!”
“Chester loved his time at Katie’s house! He was happy and content when I picked him up! Photos from each day showed he was a happy camper! lol! I will bring him back to her as needed!!!”
“Melissa and Mike are amazing hosts! They look after our fur babies as if they are their own. We get regular updates and photos of the dogs and the dogs really enjoy their time with them. Melissa and Mike give us peace of mind that our dogs are well cared for and loved in our absence. We recommend them highly!”
“Linda took care of our GSD Dolly like she was her own. After a very pleasant meet and greet with Linda we felt she would work well with our Dolly. Having her own personal ownership of a large, protective breed, her understanding of them was an asset to be able to work with Dolly, who is loving, and very protective of both her family and friends. Linda was amused by Dolly's protection of their home by ferociously barking at the UPS man making a delivery! lol Linda was more that diligent taking care of Dolly and sending many photos and videos throughout the day. Dolly was obviously happy and content in her care. Thank you Linda and we will definitely be booking with you again! Dolly send kisses to both you and your husband.”
“Heidi was amazing with my senior chihuahua yoyo. She responded promptly and sent photo updates daily. Would HIGHLY recommend Heidi and will definitely be booking with her again if needing a pet sitter in the future.”
“Lorraine is amazing! Rue is a special girl and usually takes a bit to warm up to people but she liked Lorraine immediately. Lorraine sent us several updates throughout the long weekend and I knew our girl was in great hands! We will definitely be using her again! Thank you so much, Lorraine!”
“Anne was amazing and took great care of our Camper! She was very responsive, sent pics/videos throughout the stay, and kept us updated. I would recommend Anne 100% and will be using her again when we are back in this area. Thank you for treating Camper as your own!”
“We rebooked with Andi since our dog, Mabel, seemed to love her time with Andi & her family! They took great care of her, sent lots of updates, & even cared for Mabel when she unexpectedly went into heat early. Thanks again Andi for taking care of our berner bear!”
“Teddy and Gina enjoyed their stay with Rebecca. During their visit, Rebecca sent pictures of Teddy and Gina playing and snuggling. Rebecca was easy to communicate with and was responsive to all our questions. This was a great first experience.”
“Taylor is amazing. It is obvious how much she loves all animals - I swear our fur babies come home better behaved than when I left them :). She is dependable, caring and affordable and you will be so glad you used her pet-services.”
