“Wrigley is our daughter's dog. Since she is a single mom, working full time, she has limited time to handle stuff. we searched rover.com for accommodations and Nichole M. seemed a good match. Wrigley has never been boarded so all of us were nervous how he would react. Receiving frequent updates and photos put our mind at ease. Nichole seemed genuinely attuned to Wrigley's and our anxieties. He looked cared for, socialized with other dogs and looked great after a wonderful bath. Nichole responded in good time to text/emails. Despite the 40-45 minute drive to her boarding place, it certainly was worth the trip. thank you, Nichole, for caring for Wrigley.”
“Jasmine was the bomb super nice and caring. She also sends pics and she wash my baby and got her eye boogers out. Thank you Jas. Easy to work with and contact. I will def use her again and I recommend her totally. Thank you rover and thank you Jasmine. P.s. when Jas ask could she say bye to my Hunni I was super touched.”
“1st time using Rover and Mark and Nancy were very accommodating. My wife was very anxious because this was the first time we were dropping off our fur babies for someone else other than family to look after them. Mark and Nancy did not disappoint. The updates that we got put my wife at ease. No worries here. For sure we will look to Mark and Nancy again in the future.”
“Debra and Mike are just the best with my little old lady. They play with her and take her on walks. She loves all the snuggles and attention they give her. We will always book with them for our girl. The best for our needs!”
“Shanie's dog boarding for my puppy for 2 weeks deserves the highest rating --she sent little reports and photos and videos at least 2x/day which I loved and my puppy loved her home, expansive outdoor area, and all the toys and treats. It was hard for me to leave my puppy but Shanie made it easier and when we need another dog boarder I hope we get Ms. Shanie!!”
“Alexandria took EXTRA care of my older dog that had daily bandage changes. She gave me updates as needed and was VERY accommodating with Shine’s special needs. Thank you so very very much!!”
“Ava took good care of our boy while we were away for a couple days. She asked if we could speak after I requested the booking so I could give her extra details for how we take care of him at home. Ava communicated daily with pictures which was extra special. We hope to hire Ava again in the future and recommend her to you too!! ♡🐾♡🐾♡”
“Noel was amazing she was very sweet and took good care of my pug while I was out of town she sent me constant updates with pictures. I highly recommend her for any boarding needs!”
“I had to go out of state for work last minute and couldn’t take my fur baby with me. I couldn’t be happier that I found Holly. She was so good to my dog. She made me so at ease. She sent lots of pics and videos his whole stay. I know she truly loved my dog. I didn’t have to worry at all and I can’t give her 10 stars so she gets 5.”
“Sonya and her family are very sweet, and their 2 dogs are well trained and friendly. Our Sadie fit right into the pack. She was happy when we dropped her off, and happy when we picked her up. I've already booked her next stay! I highly recommend Sonya!”
“Heather took great care of our girl, Ella, while we were away for a week! She sent daily updates and lots of photos. Heather was very responsive and accommodating and when our flight home was delayed!”
“First time using Rover and Jacob made it easy. He invited me for a meet and greet before booking so I could see his place and see where my dog was gonna be for the weekend. You can tell he loves dogs and I had no problem leaving my dog, Flynn, with him. He sent me pictures and updates throughout the stay which was really nice. We will definitely book Jacob again next time we go out of town.”
“Alicia was great. My puppy just got spayed recently and needed to take meds to help with recovery and she was able to administer them as scheduled which made me feel at ease. She was great with her and I would definitely use her service again”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Theda! She offered to meet at her home prior to our trip so that our dogs could meet and our girl could have a sneak peek at where she was gonna be staying. Theda was so kind, warm and knowledgeable. You could tell she loves animals! She has a beautiful home with an amazing screened in porch that my little pooch loved. She was able to get my finicky eater to eat too! Theda kept me updated every day with photos and videos of my girl, which helped me know she was doing well. As a matter of fact I’m not sure she wanted to come home, she loved playing with her new friends Sammie and Louie!! I would most definitely book with Theda again! Don’t hesitate, your pet will be loved and so well cared for with Theda, she’s amazing!”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life and absolutely love having them around. We have a decent sized fenced-in yard and one very friendly doodle who loves having other dogs around. We don’t have children, so your pup will get plenty of attention and a calm, dog-friendly environment. For your dog’s comfort and safety, we only accept one family’s dog(s) at a time, so they’ll have our full attention without having to share the space with multiple unfamiliar dogs. Someone will also be home regularly, and your pup will never be alone for more than 4 hours at a time. We’d love to make your dog feel right at home while you’re away! My fiancé and I both work full time, but our schedules make pet care very manageable. He is a physical therapist and works a varied/shifting schedule, while I work just 5 minutes from home and come home during my lunch break. Because of this, our dog is never alone for more than about 4 hours during the week. On weekends, we are home most of the time and rarely leave him alone for long. This routine allows us to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day while still maintaining our normal work schedules. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. In my home, dogs have access to a fully fenced-in yard and plenty of supervised time for play, exercise, and attention. I only care for one family’s dog(s) at a time, which allows me to give them individualized attention and avoid a crowded or stressful environment. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. Someone will always be around frequently, and your dog will never be left alone for more than 4 hours. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and loving home away from home! Our dog is NOT crated, however if your dog prefers a crate/safe space, we are happy to provide that!
About: my wife and I work together as a team to make sure every pup gets lots of love, attention, and personalized care.

We’re experienced with oral meds, insulin, special diets, and specific potty break routines, so you can feel confident your dog is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into our daily routine. We offer flexible boarding between 7am to 7pm and dog walking/drop-ins daily from 7 AM to 9 PM, ensuring your pet always receives consistent, professional care. We put safety and comfort first for every pet, whether in our home or yours. Boarding is limited to ensure individual attention! Our home offers a large fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play, with crates used at bedtime only if requested. In clients’ homes, we follow their routines closely to keep pets happy and relaxed.

“Hannah is amazing! One of our cats is diabetic and needs insulin injections and has a special diet while the other is very shy and wary of new people. Hannah was super communicative and understood their needs so well. She worked with me throughout the stay to make any adjustments as needed. When you have a pet with medical needs, being able to have a stress free weekend away is the best compliment I could possibly give!”
“Cindy was great with our dogs while we were on vacation. She was very good at communicating with me how things were going with them and it made me feel so much better knowing our dogs could stay in the comfort of their home while we were gone and receive amazing care.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, I have the biggest heart for them. I truly believe pets are what make a home, a home. To me, animals are more than just pets they are our best friends!

I have no rules for the animals, depending on what you allow, we allow pets on the couch, on the bed, sleeping with us, etc. I have another dog that would love to play with yours! I love taking dogs on daily walks, and providing all the cuddles possible!
About: I’ve had my own cats for over a decade. I know how to engage their playful behavior with toys and cat nip. I’ve had years of experiences to draw from, and dealt with everything from fleas and ticks to old age and emergency clean up of pet accidents.
“Alex did a wonderful job with taking care of my 3 dogs for 2.5 days. The 2 small poodles (mix) ones were good as usual, my youngest and most tentative, larger American Staffordshire mix take a little warming up to. After a few 4 visits, Alex broke this ice her.”
“I appreciated Valerie’s services checking in and feeding my cat for a few days. I found her to be very pleasant to work with and would definitely reach out again in the future!”
“Timothy is very prompt, patient, and thorough with his drop in visits. Showed up on time and made sure to hit all his items on the punch list I gave him. My dog can be very excitable and he was very patient with her. I was very worried about leaving my babygirl with a stranger and he put all my worries at ease. I will definitely be using Timothy in the future.”
About: I love to spend time with them , I like to play with them, I like to take them to the park. I will always keep them on a leash. I can teach them some tricks, sit , stay roll over. I can take them out every two hours, to go potty. I can keep them over night. I took care of a one eye cat, I took care of a blind dog. I have had dogs in diapers. I took care of a Yorkshire, who was pregnant, she went into labor at my house, and my mom and I delivered three little babies they came out every forty minutes. We help clean the babies, and my dog Chuckie helped to. Give them kisses, hugs.
About: I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and providing them with the care, attention, and companionship they need. I am patient, responsible, and dependable. Whether it's walking, playing, keeping them company, or following their daily routine, I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away.

“Gia was an excellent house sitter and pet sitter. I have two older cats, and was a little nervous about leaving them for two weeks. But when I returned, my house was clean, my cats were happy and well fed, and my mail was stacked on the kitchen table. Gia contacted me several times during my vacation, and sent photographs and video of the cats at home. I highly recommend her!”
About: I worked full time for a shelter and loved working with every animal there. Meeting them at their level so that their needs were completely fulfilled was my passion. Whether they were high or low energy, dim or bright, friendly or not, I thrived on figuring out what would make the the most adoptable and what would make them most comfortable in the harsh shelter environment. It was a difficult and demanding job at times especially when I needed to provide first aid or medication/therapy for ailing animals but I always enjoyed coming home knowing I did something that meant something to those parent-less pets. I also had the lovely opportunity to work the social media for the shelter and take photos and videos of each animal to best display their personalities to the wider public who wouldn't normally see them otherwise. I currently work part time with very flexible hours so I am frequently available to provide service to both my own pets and others. I find it very fulfilling to be able to make time for my own furry friends! Working in a shelter environment I often met many animals at their lowest when they were beyond scared and upset. I got exposure to many dogs and cats that were horribly unadapted to life around people and had personalities on either end of the spectrum. I am more than comfortable with animals that are more aggressive in both appearance and personality and was frequently tasked with retrieving abandoned or lost animals using the company van.
About: Hello! I’m Olivia. What sets me apart from other caretakers is my lifelong experience and genuine love for animals. I’ve lived with pets my entire life and also worked as an animal caretaker in my hometown, so caring for animals is second nature to me. I have experience with a wide range of breeds and personalities—from large dogs like Rottweilers and Bernese Mountain Dogs, to energetic Australian Shepherds, to small breeds like teacup Schnauzers, as well as cats. I enjoy working with pets of all ages, whether that means helping with the extra care senior pets need or providing the patience and energy for puppies. I also provide discounted bathing. As a student with open availability, I’m flexible and able to dedicate plenty of time to the pets I care for. Above all, I truly love taking care of all creatures, human or not, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have open availability for pet caretaking, which means I’m flexible and able to accommodate different schedules. As a student, I can easily adjust my time to fit your pet’s needs, whether that’s during the day, evenings, or weekends. In my home, I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe by giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm environment. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, play, and any special instructions from their owner. Pets are welcome to relax wherever they feel most at home, and I make sure they always have fresh water, a cozy spot to rest, and lots of love. In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect while keeping the pet’s comfort and safety my top priority. I maintain their normal routine so they feel secure, and I provide companionship, exercise, and care just as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or extra cuddle time, I make sure every pet gets the attention and care they need.
About: I’ve taken care of cats since before I could walk! There’s always been a cat with me on my journey of life, be it a family cat, stray cat, or my very own fur baby. Cats are independent, loving, and kind and that only makes me love them more!

“Marshmallow had a WONDERFUL first experience at Nancy & Mark’s Day Care! Sooo wonderful she’s scheduled for future Day Care dates as well as an upcoming Boarding weekend. I couldn’t be happier to have found a place, close to home, where my sweet, but scared and anxious, rescue is FINALLY comfortable other than with me!! Due to past trauma, Marshmallow suffers from SEVERE separation anxiety and can be fearful around large dogs, thus the fact that there is always a person present as well as the laid back and comfortable environment provided by Nancy & Mark was ABSOLUTELY perfect to calm ALL Marshmallow and Mommy’s concerns!! I was sent pictures, a video and updates throughout her stay. We truly feel blessed to have found such a GREAT fit!!!”

I strive to make this a fun vacation for the pups and create a stress free, fun environment. You will receive daily updates and pictures of all the fun and relaxation of your furry friend.
“Very accommodating on such short notice! Sent plenty of pictures of our precious Charlie boy during his daycare stay to let us know he was doing ok! Our dog seemed really comfortable and calm in her care! We will use her again in the future!”
“Noel was amazing! It was our first time leaving our puppy with someone during the day. He was so excited to see her every morning. We cannot recommend Noel enough. Will be using her in the future!!!!”
About: I enjoy having dogs, and started using this website when I went out of town. Because of this, I know the high standard of care I expect from my sitter, and what you should expect too. I will take the time and care you would for your own dog. I'll give them snuggles, playtime, and lots of outside time depending on the crazy weather we have here of course. Myself and my doggy friends love to take walks, play tug-of-war, fetch and other games your dog enjoys or might enjoy. If your dog comes to our house we have a fully enclosed backyard. It is a great big yard enough to play fetch with a few dogs at the same time. Some just like to sun bathe and watch everyone else run around. Your dogs will have so much fun, and will be well loved while they are here. When my doggie friends come back for a visit the owners tell me the dogs are excited when they turn down my street. I have a Yorkie named Jack, and 3 mini Bernedoodles named Elenor, Dahlia, and Franklin. I am not taking unneutered or unspayed dogs at this time. I have lots of available hours to spend with your pets. My schedule is consistent usually, but fairly open. In the past, I was walking dogs. Not sure if I am going to start doing that or not. I have a fenced in yard and 4 dogs to keep your dog company. We can play in the yard or hang out in the house. I have lots of toys and balls.
“My puppy was well cared for, and was definitely very active during her visit. When she came home, she was immediately ready to lay down and relax after her eventful day. Definitely worth coming scheduling more days.”

I do not have dangerous things around for your animal to get a hold of. I'm very responsible. Love/food key
About: With over 20 years of experience as a dog mom and countless years of house and pet sitting for families, I’m passionate about providing loving and attentive care to your pets. My journey began in Oak Park, IL, where I worked as a trusted nanny and babysitter for families—many of whom had furry, feathered, or scaly companions. Now, as a mom myself, I focus exclusively on house and pet sitting, offering all the love and premium care to help your pet feel spoiled. I have a heart for all animals but an especially soft spot for dogs. I’ve cared for a wide range of animals, including chickens, house birds, turtles, frogs, and hamsters, so I’m comfortable with pets big and small! Whether your pup needs walks, cuddles, or just a calm presence in the home, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Your pets are family, and I treat them as such—with respect, kindness, and a whole lot of love. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered, or scaly) family members! I’m available Monday through Sunday from 6am to 8pm. I’m also happy to accommodate earlier or late-night pet care requests whenever possible. I own a full time home and pet care company where I provide house care and pet care fully insured! When I care for pets in their home, I do my best to make sure they feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible—just like they would if their family were there. I follow their usual routine closely, ensuring they get their meals and any medication right on schedule. I keep their space clean, tidy, and welcoming, so they always feel at ease. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship, I provide plenty of affection and attention. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel connected while you’re away. My goal is to ensure your pets feel relaxed, happy, and well cared for in the place where they feel safest—their own home.
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Currently, I care for two of my own—Sparky, my sweet 13-year-old Bichon Frise, and Shelby, my playful 1-year-old Miniature Goldendoodle. Having both a senior dog and a young, energetic pup has given me a wide range of hands-on experience, from managing health needs and gentle senior care to keeping up with puppy energy, training, and teething phases. In the past, I also cared for an American Pitbull Terrier for 5 years, and over the years I’ve looked after many dogs for friends, neighbors, and family members. Some of the breeds I’ve worked with include Chihuahuas, Beagles, Golden Retrievers, Pomeranians, and a variety of lovable mixes. Every dog is unique, and I truly enjoy getting to know each one’s personality and quirks. Whether they’re shy or outgoing, young or elderly, I’m patient, gentle, and always happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. I’m usually available Monday through Friday, which means I have plenty of time throughout the day to walk, play with, and care for your pup. Whether they need a midday stroll, some company while you’re away, or just a little extra love and attention, I’m happy to be there for them. I’m home often, so I’m able to keep a close eye on the dogs and make sure they’re always safe and cared for. While my yard is open and unfenced, I never leave dogs outside unattended—they’re always on a leash and supervised, with access to a sunny, enclosed sunroom for extra comfort. For smaller dogs, I have a crate available if preferred by the owner, and I’m also able to provide transport in case of a vet emergency. My home is stocked with cozy blankets and toys that are always available for dogs to borrow and enjoy. Located in a quiet, beautiful area, the home offers plenty of space to explore, bird- and squirrel-watching opportunities, and nearby parks for peaceful outings. The spacious living room and multiple rooms allow for safe separation if needed, ensuring every dog feels comfortable. Most of all, your pup will enjoy peace, safety, and lots of love while in my care.

About: My 17 years of experience as a dog owner has given me a deep understanding of each dogs unique needs and behaviors. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all ages and sizes—whether in my home or theirs—tailoring my care based on each dog’s unique needs. Whether it's providing extra attention for senior dogs, teaching a puppy basic manners, or adapting to any special requirements, I make sure every pet feels loved, safe, and well-cared for. Since my Australian Shepherds don’t have a flock of sheep to herd, I’m their "job" instead! When I’m at home, they’re my loyal little shadows. They’re surprisingly chill for Aussies, but I like to think it’s because I’m an awesome dog mom... and they’re technically working most of the day as my supervisors. They make sure everything runs smoothly by reminding me if I'm even a minute late with their meals, when it’s time for potty breaks, when to wake up my son, when it’s time to play—the list goes on! I offer caring and reliable dog sitting and walking services tailored to keep your pup happy, healthy, and engaged. As a proud owner of two Australian Shepherds, I understand the importance of attention, exercise, and companionship for dogs. Whether it's a stroll around the neighborhood, a quick potty break, or some fun playtime in a safe and nurturing environment, I’ll make sure your dog feels right at home while you’re away. I provide both in-home dog sitting, so your dog can remain in the comfort of their own space, as well as dog sitting at my home for longer care needs. My dogs are friendly and enjoy making new friends, so your pup will have plenty of companionship during their stay. While I do have a crate available if needed, please note that I do not have a fenced-in yard. My dogs love off-leash play, so if your dog needs to be kept on a leash outdoors, please provide clear care instructions to ensure their safety and comfort.

About: I've been caring for animals most of my life, from growing up with family dogs to being a dedicated cat owner for the past four years.

About: I’ve worked at a dog hotel, and I’ve pet sat for both cats and dogs. I’ve never met a dog that didn’t like me, and I’ve never met a cat that didn’t tolerate me. I’m a student pilot, so some days I have about 2 and a half hours where I won’t be available. Otherwise I have a very flexible schedule and can spend all day or any time caring for your pet. I don’t have any pets of my own, but I’m good at making anyone’s pets friendly with me. I’ve done daily check-ins and up to two weeks staying at someone’s house to keep their dog active and happy.
About: I have been around all sorts of animals since I was a baby. I had a German shepherd growing up. Now I own a hound mix who is very energetic and keeps me busy which I like. While I was in college I worked at my teams stable and took care of my coaches horses, chickens, and her donkey. Since I own a dog of my own, pet care is in my every day life. I am a server at Dante’s house of pizza. Even with my busy work schedule I still have plenty of time to take my own dog to the park, walk him, and play with him. I want to share my love by taking care of other peoples animals. I can ensure them that their furry friends will be safe in my care. My dog’s name is Gino and he loves being outdoors whenever we can be. He loves going on walks with other dogs. He is really happy when I take him to my friend’s house to play with their dogs. My dog is very spoiled and gets to snuggle up with me in bed. I am responsible to take him to the vet when he needs his yearly check up. I make sure he is well groomed and well fed.
About: I bring 7+ years of pet care experience, including working in a daycare setting where I cared for multiple dogs at once. I focus on safety, structure, fun playtime, and personalized attention to every during alone time. Making sure they feel comfortable, confident, and excited to see me. I am currently completing an externship for school, which takes place earlier in the day. I have open availability after 2pm on weekdays and flexible availability on weekends, making it easy to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended care as needed. I prioritize safety, comfort, and routine whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. I closely follow feeding schedules, leash guidelines, and any special instructions provided. I maintain clean spaces, supervise all interactions, and communicate updates regularly so pet parents feel confident and at ease.
About: I worked full time for a shelter and loved working with every animal there. Meeting them at their level so that their needs were completely fulfilled was my passion. Whether they were high or low energy, dim or bright, friendly or not, I thrived on figuring out what would make the the most adoptable and what would make them most comfortable in the harsh shelter environment. It was a difficult and demanding job at times especially when I needed to provide first aid or medication/therapy for ailing animals but I always enjoyed coming home knowing I did something that meant something to those parent-less pets. I also had the lovely opportunity to work the social media for the shelter and take photos and videos of each animal to best display their personalities to the wider public who wouldn't normally see them otherwise. I currently work part time with very flexible hours so I am frequently available to provide service to both my own pets and others. I find it very fulfilling to be able to make time for my own furry friends! Working in a shelter environment I often met many animals at their lowest when they were beyond scared and upset. I got exposure to many dogs and cats that were horribly unadapted to life around people and had personalities on either end of the spectrum. I am more than comfortable with animals that are more aggressive in both appearance and personality and was frequently tasked with retrieving abandoned or lost animals using the company van.

“Wrigley is our daughter's dog. Since she is a single mom, working full time, she has limited time to handle stuff. we searched rover.com for accommodations and Nichole M. seemed a good match. Wrigley has never been boarded so all of us were nervous how he would react. Receiving frequent updates and photos put our mind at ease. Nichole seemed genuinely attuned to Wrigley's and our anxieties. He looked cared for, socialized with other dogs and looked great after a wonderful bath. Nichole responded in good time to text/emails. Despite the 40-45 minute drive to her boarding place, it certainly was worth the trip. thank you, Nichole, for caring for Wrigley.”
“Shanie's dog boarding for my puppy for 2 weeks deserves the highest rating --she sent little reports and photos and videos at least 2x/day which I loved and my puppy loved her home, expansive outdoor area, and all the toys and treats. It was hard for me to leave my puppy but Shanie made it easier and when we need another dog boarder I hope we get Ms. Shanie!!”
“Alexandria took EXTRA care of my older dog that had daily bandage changes. She gave me updates as needed and was VERY accommodating with Shine’s special needs. Thank you so very very much!!”
“Ava took good care of our boy while we were away for a couple days. She asked if we could speak after I requested the booking so I could give her extra details for how we take care of him at home. Ava communicated daily with pictures which was extra special. We hope to hire Ava again in the future and recommend her to you too!! ♡🐾♡🐾♡”
“Noel was amazing she was very sweet and took good care of my pug while I was out of town she sent me constant updates with pictures. I highly recommend her for any boarding needs!”
“I had to go out of state for work last minute and couldn’t take my fur baby with me. I couldn’t be happier that I found Holly. She was so good to my dog. She made me so at ease. She sent lots of pics and videos his whole stay. I know she truly loved my dog. I didn’t have to worry at all and I can’t give her 10 stars so she gets 5.”
“Sonya and her family are very sweet, and their 2 dogs are well trained and friendly. Our Sadie fit right into the pack. She was happy when we dropped her off, and happy when we picked her up. I've already booked her next stay! I highly recommend Sonya!”
“Heather took great care of our girl, Ella, while we were away for a week! She sent daily updates and lots of photos. Heather was very responsive and accommodating and when our flight home was delayed!”
“First time using Rover and Jacob made it easy. He invited me for a meet and greet before booking so I could see his place and see where my dog was gonna be for the weekend. You can tell he loves dogs and I had no problem leaving my dog, Flynn, with him. He sent me pictures and updates throughout the stay which was really nice. We will definitely book Jacob again next time we go out of town.”
“Becca took amazing care of my dog Blitz while my wife and I were in Hawaii all week! She sent plenty of pictures and updated us on how he was doing everyday. She took him on walks, played with him, and let him sunbathe in the backyard everyday. She’s super personable, reassuring, and I will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Alicia was great. My puppy just got spayed recently and needed to take meds to help with recovery and she was able to administer them as scheduled which made me feel at ease. She was great with her and I would definitely use her service again”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Theda! She offered to meet at her home prior to our trip so that our dogs could meet and our girl could have a sneak peek at where she was gonna be staying. Theda was so kind, warm and knowledgeable. You could tell she loves animals! She has a beautiful home with an amazing screened in porch that my little pooch loved. She was able to get my finicky eater to eat too! Theda kept me updated every day with photos and videos of my girl, which helped me know she was doing well. As a matter of fact I’m not sure she wanted to come home, she loved playing with her new friends Sammie and Louie!! I would most definitely book with Theda again! Don’t hesitate, your pet will be loved and so well cared for with Theda, she’s amazing!”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life and absolutely love having them around. We have a decent sized fenced-in yard and one very friendly doodle who loves having other dogs around. We don’t have children, so your pup will get plenty of attention and a calm, dog-friendly environment. For your dog’s comfort and safety, we only accept one family’s dog(s) at a time, so they’ll have our full attention without having to share the space with multiple unfamiliar dogs. Someone will also be home regularly, and your pup will never be alone for more than 4 hours at a time. We’d love to make your dog feel right at home while you’re away! My fiancé and I both work full time, but our schedules make pet care very manageable. He is a physical therapist and works a varied/shifting schedule, while I work just 5 minutes from home and come home during my lunch break. Because of this, our dog is never alone for more than about 4 hours during the week. On weekends, we are home most of the time and rarely leave him alone for long. This routine allows us to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day while still maintaining our normal work schedules. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. In my home, dogs have access to a fully fenced-in yard and plenty of supervised time for play, exercise, and attention. I only care for one family’s dog(s) at a time, which allows me to give them individualized attention and avoid a crowded or stressful environment. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. Someone will always be around frequently, and your dog will never be left alone for more than 4 hours. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and loving home away from home! Our dog is NOT crated, however if your dog prefers a crate/safe space, we are happy to provide that!
