“It was our puppy’s first time away overnight and we are so happy with the result. He had a wonderful time and is totally adjusted and comfortable with mark, Jackob and Nancy. They did a fantastic job of being flexible on pick up and drop off times and kept us updated the entire time.”
“Nichole is wonderful! She took very good care of our dogs for our week long vacation. My yorkie loved her son, who was very sweet to her. Nichole sent pictures and kept us up-to-date on everything. We will definitely use her services again!”
“I had surgery unexpectedly and Joy and Dan accepted my last minute request of dog boarding. My puppy was very excited to go back there and when I picked him up he was very happy. He had a very good visit with them. I am very satisfied with the care that they provided to my puppy.”
“I received several pictures of Moppet from Bernice. He seemed to really enjoy her big fenced-in backyard and having similarly sized canine playmates. Bernice was a gentle, welcoming dogsitter.”
“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!”
“We are so happy we found Giannina! She took such good care of our baby. She sent us photos and updates while we were on vacation, which made us feel so much better, since this was the first time we've left our little one in someone else's care. We will definitely use her service in the future. Giannina comes highly recommended.”
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. Family and friends have relied on me for decades to take care of their animals. Growing up on a farm helped give me a lifelong affinity for animals. I’m a teacher who is off all summer. I have plenty of time to fill and would love to look after your animals, either in my home, as a drop in, or just a walk. I have a fenced in backyard, two amazing labs who love other dogs, and a wife and daughter who love dogs as much as I do.
“We can’t thank Debra & Michael enough for taking the best care of our Emme girl! I could tell from the minute I met them how amazing they were. I couldn’t have found a better couple to take care of our girl. Thank you so much!!! ❤️”
“Meredith did a great job with my two girls! I was a little concerned at first, not sure if she could handle my 10 month old German Shepherd, Jream, but overall, she did very well even without having a fenced yard. My girls still got a full hour of playtime in a nearby fenced area where they were able to run and play ball freely. Meredith followed all my instructions, and I would definitely use her again.”
“Thank you for doing such an amazing job. I was so impressed. We will definitely be booking again. Jack had so much fun and I can tell he was well taken care of. We can’t thank you enough.”
“Each pet has different needs and as a pet parent I need to find placement to meet those needs. After several placements that were horrific to subpar, I was happy to find Jordan her pack and family. My dog was happy and well taken care of at Jordans house. Not only will I be rescheduling boarding I will also schedule daycare for my dog to have playdates with Jordans pack.”
“CoCo had a wonderful time at Cathy’s! She is very knowledgeable about dogs and truly passionate about their care. She exceeded my expectations, and I look forward to booking her again.”
“Excellent. Gave us a ton of picture, more than any other sitter we’ve had on rover. And due to issues at airport I was an hour late picking her up, and she was totally accommodating. Highly recommended!”
“I had Barbara watch my almost 7 year old cat for 3 nights and 4 days. She made me feel comfortable and made sure my cat was taken care of while I was away. Barbara was sweet and let my cat outside the bedroom. Her litter was clean and followed the feeding instructions. I definitely recommend her”
“Amia,Joshua and family have been nothing but great to my baby Barry. He loves spending time over there, I definitely recommend them. They are the best fit for your fur baby 🙂”
“I can’t recommend Nicole enough! She was extremely communicative and it was very obvious how great of a dog mom she is. I felt so happy knowing my baby was in her care. Moose had the best time!”

“Absolutely phenomenal! She communicated very well to me. Several photos of my babies! She definitely knows her way around skidish pets. By the second day my skidish baby came out to see her. Very happy with Rebeccah!! I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Ashley did a great job with our 7 cats!! She dropped in every other day while we were on vacation. She gave the cats attention, spending time petting each one that came up to her. Her communication was great throughout the week. She even brought in packages and took out the garbage that I’d forgotten. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities, from playful kittens to senior cats. I also work as a kennel attendant at a veterinary clinic, so I'm comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, administering basic care, and making sure every cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.
“This was my first time using this service for my cats Symba and Eli. I loved Jasmine's service. She sent plenty of pictures and i could see that they were taken care of very well. I was so pleased. I will definitely contact Jasmine again. If someone is looking for a great service, she is an excellent choice. Love you Jasmine!!!????”

“Chyanne was amazing! She really took her time to understand our cats personalities and the things that make them unique. She kept our home clean, scooped the litter boxes, fed our cats treats, groomed them, and played with their favorite toys. We will definitely be rebooking with Chyanne and you should too!”
“Had a great experience with Crystal checking on my cat. She arrived at the times we discussed, made sure my cat had everything he needed, and left me detailed reports of her visit”
“This was my first time using Rover and I am so happy I did. Leo was excellent at looking after my cats. I loved the updates and pictures. I already booked her again and will continue doing so for future trips.”
About: My family picked up two stray kittens from the side of the road when I was 9! My family had those cats until I was just fresh out of graduate school and they passed on after a very long life! I do enjoy cats and their quirkiness now, but my dogs would terrorize them if we had them ourselves. I’m happy to get my cat fix through others and love on someone else’s sweet baby!
About: I used to be a kennel assistant at an animal clinic, there I fed, walked, and looked after the dogs/cats that were boarding there. I am accustomed to specific feeding instructions that the owners gave. I am fine with sitting any breed of dog or any animal for that matter! I am going into animal care after high school and hope to have an animal oriented career in the future. I have a golden retriever, a shih-zhu pomeranian mix, two guinea pigs, and a Syrian hamster! I am currently completely free anytime besides Sundays! If something comes up or changes I will change this info or let anyone know as soon as I can. I take my dogs outside everyday so they can go to the bathroom. I replenish their water and give them dinner later if no one else has been home yet. I give my guinea pigs their veggies, hay, and pellets everyday and replace the dirty mats and spot clean their cage. My hamsters daily care consists of spot cleaning, cleaning her wheel, replenishing food, and replenishing water!
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I can remember. I have previously worked at a cat hospital so I am able to give medications to pets by request. I am a big animal lover, I have had almost every type of pet imaginable so I have a wide range of experience. I have taken care of dogs, cats, large and small birds, fish, ferrets, rabbits, and rats since I was little. I am a student so I have very open availability.

But I am still available to work almost daily I try my best to make it look like I haven’t been there. I love sending pictures of happy pets so every time I visit I will definitely send you tons of pictures. I prefer to meet in advance just to go over your pet(s) needs and see where food, treats, and toys are located before you are away.

About: Hi! I have cared for dogs technically my whole life since I grew up with them. When I went to college I got a dog of my own and have had another since then. I love going on walks and playing with dogs. I am a part time nanny, but go on a walk every morning, afternoon, and evening. On top of that I do potty breaks first thing in the morning and before bed. I have a puppy proofed home since I have a pup of my own. I don’t have a fence but know how to get a dog’s energy out by playing however their style is and am good assessing what a dog needs.

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: I’m the person people rely on to baby sit. I have the love and passion to care and attend to dogs as my own. I have experience as a medical assistant which allows me to make rational decisions to maintain a safe environment for your beloved pet. Self taught cpr and other emergency procedures. I’m currently a home stay dog mom and would love to give my love and attention to other dogs and cats. I’m available and flexible to work with the parent. I have a friendly dog that loves company and would help your dog settle in for a fun baby sitting date. Safe uncluttered clean environment pet friendly. Walking paths available for the dog to enjoy for a potty break. Back yard available, spacious two floor.
“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!”
“It was a relief with all of our funeral planning taking place in Chicago, to know that Ms. Bernice was going to take care of Niko. This was his first time at any day care and it seems that this will help us as we work with him to socialize with other dogs. Overall, she was very cooperative, reliable and conveniently located to our hotel. We would use her services again.”
About: I have gained a lot of knowledge and experience sitting for rover. I have a lot of love and patience when caring for the animals. I offer daily walks and lots of play time both outside and inside. I have a fenced yard to offer lots of fresh air and outside playtime, weather permitting. We have plenty of toys to share. My pups are always super excited to meet new friends. I can guarantee your pet will feel right at home with us. I currently work from home full time, so I am able to give your pup all the attention requested. Lots of play time and potty breaks. 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.
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.
“After a bad experience with a previous sitter we were so grateful to find Nancy and Mark. They gave us such peace of mind throughout our meet and greet and then Odie’s daycare! They weren’t phased at all by his high energy and it was such a relief to know he was having a great day while we were at work. Thank you thank you thank you!”
“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.”
“April was such a fantastic sitter! She has years of experience and you can tell she cares for your pet! She was attentive to our Aussie’s special needs and we are thankful for her flexibility and her kindness.”

“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: My name is Hannah, and I've been taking care of pets since a very young age. I love going on walks, no matter what the weather is, I will walk in any kind of weather just as long as the dog will walk. I like to take my time and build the pet's trust, even when they are shy at first. I always make sure I understand the information that is given to me. I love it when a pup gets used to seeing me, remembers my car, and gets so excited to see me. I did move from IL to Indiana, and i do have about 4 acres to run around to get some energy out. I use to work at a doggy day care. I stay at home taking care of any animal that i have for a petting sitting when i do not have a pet sitting I try to look for walks to meet new pets I have a fenced-in yard and also have about 4 acres of land. I take the pups out to use the bathroom and run them around to tire them out
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and love animals of every kind. I love playing and snuggling with animals and have always loved to care for friends’ pets. At parties, you can usually find me talking to the dogs or cats! After May 31, I will be free all day and will be able to provide continuous care if needed. My husband and two teenagers will also be around to make sure your pets have the best stay ever. I have a fenced in yard and currently, we don’t have any pets after our rescue dog crossed the rainbow bridge this year. At my house, your pets are welcome on beds and couches, though we will also respect boundaries you have at your house. I have two teenage boys who love to play and snuggle with animals. I am also happy to come to your house, as I know many pets are comfortable in their own space.
“Sara & Jason welcomed Mayze into their home as their own! Our pup had so much fun playing with their pets and she was exhausted by the time she left. They sent updates throughout the night along with pictures to let us know how Mayze was doing. Highly recommend!”
“Between having a private backyard dog run and lots of toys, you can tell Jordan is a dog lover who knows how to take care of them. My puppy Reese was happy and comfortable there, getting to play with little kids and another dog. He came home wiped out! Jordan sent several photos during his stay and communicates really well. Definitely recommend her for your pup!”
“Jacob was amazing! Koal took to Jacob and his family very well and I could tell he was a happy boy ? I was pleased how he sent photos and updates of him. Will be utilizing his services again and again ❤️”
“Odin loved his time at Jesseeka’s. He was so tired from playing all day with Benny & all the outside time he got in a big old yard ! He can’t wait for his next daycare time !”

About: I have been around dogs since I was born! I have two of my own fur children, whom both required a lot of attention and are very spoiled! They are also extremely well mannered and I have only self-trained them with patience and proper motivation. I have pet sat for friends and family several times informally, and found it to be so fun! I myself am a very detail oriented person, loves loving on animals, and understands how comforting it is to have the right person looking after your baby! I own my own business so my hours are flexible and can be arranged as needed! I already am caring for my own pets throughout each day! My dogs are both leashed when going out to potty in our yard. I also work on patience, obedience commands, and recall with them so that they have little daily disciplines. Both of my dogs are very treat oriented so it makes keeping them up to snuff with their manners easy! They also get regularly walked through our neighborhood, have an abundance of toys, and a very consistent meal time for breakfast and dinner!
About: In my years of life, I’ve always had pets. I currently have eight cats of my own and help take care of my parents dog! I rescued ten of my cats throughout my life from living on the street as kittens and raised them from kitten formula to adult cat food. Full time I’m a house cleaner, so I’m surrounded by my client’s pets every single day. They are like my own and it’s the best part of my job. Due to my current unemployment, I am available seven days a week, any time of the day to care for your fur child(ren)! 🥰 please do let me know if your times are flexible. I am available to walk dogs, feed, and play with your pets. I’m even willing to scoop litter boxes and spend time with pets that may experience anxiety being alone all day.

About: I have had animals all my life, especially dogs amongst a few small pets. I have two dogs myself and I am training all of them with basic commands. I have 5 years of experience in training American pitbulls mixes to have as pets around children and other small animals. Something that sets me apart from others is that I recognize dogs and cats behavior such as signs of discomfort. I have personal experience with raising and caring for dogs of all sizes. I want animals to be comfortable, safe, and healthy. This may be disconcerting for owners that expect their pet to have free roam. I would expect multiple walks and sleeping in their dog beds considering the pets disposition as well as updates about pet stay. For house sitting, I will be willing to adjust prices if my own dogs are allowed to accompany me (not required). I am currently doing delivery services such as Grubhub and Doordash so I set the times I work. I have a flexible schedule and do not leave my home very often. I have 2 small dogs that are playful and dog friendly. I do not have a fenced yard, but I do use the long tie out leashes and outdoor playpens. I recently made a potty area for my dogs. I clean and disinfect it multiple times a week with natural products.
About: I have always had a natural, unconditional love for animals. My family has always had pets! Since I was little, I've had three cats and three dogs. Each of our pets have had different personalities and needs, but it has always been easy to love them the same. I recently have raised my own two pets, Louis and Marie, and I have loved learning how they both tick in their own ways. I trained Louis from the day I brought him home, as I’ve had him since he was an itty bitty puppy. Since he is a dachshund, I have made preventive care outside of the vet’s office a priority through teeth brushing, daily walks, proper food portioning, and using dog stairs to make sure his joints are safe and healthy. With Marie, I have made socialization a priority so she feels comfortable everywhere she goes. I call her the Master Adjuster for this reason! I am also beginning to incorporate dental care into her needs. Having pets of my own, making sure animals are properly cared for is second nature for me. I am always conscious about crate time for my dog, as I want to make sure he is getting as much enrichment activity in. At the same time, I know he also needs time to relax and recharge. In terms of daily routine, my pets’ needs are attended to before mine are. They are fed and taken outside before I even brush my teeth, and at the end of the day, they are made ready before I start decompressing. I know many pets that need lots of time for activity as well as affection! Getting to know a pet’s personality as well as their needs is my favorite part about caring for them. Being aware of when a dog may need to go for a walk to get some energy out, knowing when they need to go outside, and being aware of when they just want to chill out is super important! The same can be said for cats—sometimes they need a lot of time to let out energy or exercise, and other times, they need to be alone.

“Ken took extra care and time to get to know Cruz and myself during our initial meet and greet. He showed up well prepared and had more questions than I did and I appreciate how through he was. He sent me daily updates on his walks with Cruz and cleaned up any of the messes Cruz made while Ken walked him.”

I can easily crate your fur baby if needed. While in your home I will follow all routines and send photos once I arrive, while inside, and after lock up.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and love animals of every kind. I love playing and snuggling with animals and have always loved to care for friends’ pets. At parties, you can usually find me talking to the dogs or cats! After May 31, I will be free all day and will be able to provide continuous care if needed. My husband and two teenagers will also be around to make sure your pets have the best stay ever. I have a fenced in yard and currently, we don’t have any pets after our rescue dog crossed the rainbow bridge this year. At my house, your pets are welcome on beds and couches, though we will also respect boundaries you have at your house. I have two teenage boys who love to play and snuggle with animals. I am also happy to come to your house, as I know many pets are comfortable in their own space.
About: Along with taking care of my own pets, I interned at an animal hospital for a few months! I have experience with dogs and cats! I currently am free to work whenever you need. I am a substitute teacher and a babysitter! I can always make room for your pet! I have a fenced yard with two welcoming dogs and a very curious cat! I will give them all the attention they need and deserve!
About: I have taken care of all different kinds of dogs from sizes and breeds since I was a kid. Throughout my life I’ve had several dogs all types of different breeds and sizes, from a mastiff to a miniature poodle. So, I have lots experience in dealing with dogs in different ranges with breed,size, and age. I also have experience with cats, hedgehogs, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I am working full time currently, I am off on the weekends unless and normally completely free these days. I work during the day most days. I usually work evenings one day out of the week,tuesdays. I am very flexible outside of my time with work! I currently have a dog and 3 cats. With my dog we feed him in the morning and evening, throughout the day I usually play with my dog let him out to go potty, and a couple walks throughout the day to keep them moving. I also feed my cats morning and night and play with them throughout the day and clean their litter box in the evening.
“Marissa is very reliable and so easy to communicate with! She took both of our dogs on walks while we were out of town & sent us pictures of our babies. We will definitely be reaching out to her in the future!”
“Thomas is a very kind man who came to do a meet and greet with me and my dog ( and my daughter's dog who stays with me frequently) on short notice. Both dogs took to him right away, went up to greet him and felt comfortable with him. He is reliable, on time and fills their water bowl for them when he comes. He has helped me onshore notice twice now and ai feel comfortable with him coming to my hose and taking good care of my dogs. Definitely would highly recommend him!!”
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog mom for 6 years and have experience caring for dogs through all kinds of situations — from energetic puppy stages to recovery days that require extra patience, comfort, and attention. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I’ll care for them like family. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life. My days naturally revolve around walks, playtime, feeding schedules, outdoor time, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going on walks, relaxing together, or giving extra attention when they need comfort and patience. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medication instructions if needed, and make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort. I also respect my clients’ homes by keeping things clean, secure, and providing updates so they can feel at ease while they’re away.

“Nichole is wonderful! She took very good care of our dogs for our week long vacation. My yorkie loved her son, who was very sweet to her. Nichole sent pictures and kept us up-to-date on everything. We will definitely use her services again!”
“I had surgery unexpectedly and Joy and Dan accepted my last minute request of dog boarding. My puppy was very excited to go back there and when I picked him up he was very happy. He had a very good visit with them. I am very satisfied with the care that they provided to my puppy.”
“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!”
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. Family and friends have relied on me for decades to take care of their animals. Growing up on a farm helped give me a lifelong affinity for animals. I’m a teacher who is off all summer. I have plenty of time to fill and would love to look after your animals, either in my home, as a drop in, or just a walk. I have a fenced in backyard, two amazing labs who love other dogs, and a wife and daughter who love dogs as much as I do.
“Meredith did a great job with my two girls! I was a little concerned at first, not sure if she could handle my 10 month old German Shepherd, Jream, but overall, she did very well even without having a fenced yard. My girls still got a full hour of playtime in a nearby fenced area where they were able to run and play ball freely. Meredith followed all my instructions, and I would definitely use her again.”
“Each pet has different needs and as a pet parent I need to find placement to meet those needs. After several placements that were horrific to subpar, I was happy to find Jordan her pack and family. My dog was happy and well taken care of at Jordans house. Not only will I be rescheduling boarding I will also schedule daycare for my dog to have playdates with Jordans pack.”
“CoCo had a wonderful time at Cathy’s! She is very knowledgeable about dogs and truly passionate about their care. She exceeded my expectations, and I look forward to booking her again.”
“Excellent. Gave us a ton of picture, more than any other sitter we’ve had on rover. And due to issues at airport I was an hour late picking her up, and she was totally accommodating. Highly recommended!”
“Amia,Joshua and family have been nothing but great to my baby Barry. He loves spending time over there, I definitely recommend them. They are the best fit for your fur baby 🙂”
“I can’t recommend Nicole enough! She was extremely communicative and it was very obvious how great of a dog mom she is. I felt so happy knowing my baby was in her care. Moose had the best time!”
About: I'm an experienced dog sitter and work at a veterinary clinic as a kennel attendant, where I care for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, seniors, and pets with special needs. I provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care, and I'll treat your pet like they're my own. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I work as a kennel attendant at a veterinary clinic and plan my schedule to provide reliable walks, drop-in visits, and attentive care before and after work, as well as on my days off. I follow each pet's normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I provide fresh food and water, walks or playtime, potty breaks, lots of attention, and any requested medications or special care. I always keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is happy and well cared for.
“April is the best! I bring my dog to her instead of leaving him with family because he loves her house and dogs so much. Great communication and clearly a massive dog lover.”
“Noel and his family were wonderful. Everyone gave Tom love and affection. I have no doubt that he felt very well looked after. Every day she didn't hesitate to respond to my messages and send photos. It reassures us a lot when we know that our pet friends are in good hands.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and dogs have always had a special place in my heart! Growing up, my family had dogs, horses, goats, chickens, cats, birds, fish—you name it. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me, and over the years I’ve become the go-to pet sitter for friends and family whenever they go on vacation. I understand that every dog is unique, whether they’re full of energy and love long walks or prefer cuddles and a relaxing day at home. My goal is to make your pup feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away by keeping their routine as normal as possible. You can expect plenty of playtime, belly rubs, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. I treat every dog as if they were my own and will keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in good hands! I currently work full-time from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM and have an hour commute each way. Because of this, I offer boarding for pets who are comfortable being alone for an extended period during the workday. I am fully available on weekends and can dedicate plenty of time to your furry family members! I also offer evening dog walks and drop-in visits after work. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about my schedule or your pet’s specific needs—I’m happy to accommodate whenever possible! Your pet will be welcomed into a safe, loving home away from home! I live in a top-floor apartment with carpeted stairs and plenty of windows, perfect for curious pups who love to look outside and watch the world go by. There’s also a private dog park directly across the street from my complex, giving your dog a great place to play and burn off some energy. My neighborhood is quiet and pet-friendly, making it ideal for long walks and plenty of sniffing adventures. I make sure every pet gets lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and, of course, treats (with owner approval!). My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away, treating them like part of my own family.
“Sharee was a GODSEND!!! An absolute a dream to work with from initial contact to meet & greet, to the drop-off, to pick-up: everything was simple, seamless and SO well in hand. Since our Morty has only been for an overnight stay once without either me/my husband or a family member he’s known a LONG time, my husband and I were concerned about leaving our boy behind while we were on vacation but Sharee put both of us at ease right away. Sharee is warm and friendly with a great vibe. You can tell she knows what she’s doing and is very comfortable and confident working with multiple dogs of varying sizes. Sharee definitely gives off “Alpha” energy, which is especially important because dogs need to know who’s running things in order to feel as well as actually BE safe and secure. She’s got a great back yard with lots of room for pups to run around in and sniff as well as a decent sized area that is still outdoors but parceled off if pups need separation for any reason. This way everyone gets fresh air without having to sacrifice safety. I love this. Morty (who normally is quite bashful when meeting new people) took to Sharee right away: I believe this was because she was so calm, decisive, yet loving and warm with all the other dogs that were there. Once he saw how happy/not stressed out all the other dogs seemed, Morty seemed to fold into the pack pretty seamlessly. Tails were wagging hard and fast all around— it was amazing! One thing I truly appreciated was on the evening when we dropped Morty off, Sharee met us at the car and SHE walked Morty into the house and I followed behind. This set the tone and served as a kind of “changing of the guard” insofar as signaling to Morty that he had to listen to HER from then on out. He got on board without issue (again, safety first: I. LOVE. IT.), and then she introduced him to the other dogs who would be his buddies during his stay (some he’d met during the meet and greet, one he hadn’t… all was well!) While we were away Sharee kept us updated throughout each day on how Morty was adjusting and what good mischief he and the others were getting into with sweet pictures and videos which were always appreciated. We also discovered that Sharee’s dog, King, and Morty are kindred spirits and became fast friends so that was great too! While Morty seemed happy to see us when we came to scoop him up when it was time to go, I’d be lying if I said he didn’t cry for a little bit on the car ride home when he realized King wasn’t coming too! 😂 All told, we could not have asked for a better experience and will MOST DEFINITELY be repeat customers!!! Sharee is AMAZING!!!!!”
“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!”
“Lindsey was incredible with our 7-month-old German Shepherd, Luna! Luna is usually scared of people when she first meets them, but Lindsey quickly made her feel comfortable and at ease. This was Luna’s first time away from us, and Lindsey went above and beyond to ensure she was happy and well cared for. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and even sent us regular photos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing Luna was in great hands. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and Lindsey will absolutely be our first choice if we need a sitter again. Highly recommend!”
“Macy’s stay with Mary was a great experience! When we arrived, Mary & Marty, her husband, were organized and well prepared. Communication was speedy & I received numerous pictures. Highly recommend Mary!”
