“Steve has a GREAT fenced in yard for dogs. His dog, Willie, was really great with Henry. He kept me updated on how Henry adjusted during his 3 day stay. I really appreciated his attentiveness and will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Sheila was absolutely amazing. She cared for Koda as if he was her own, and he was in no hurry to leave. The whole time there was great communication and I really appreciated him being the only dog in the home. He got great exercise and attention and love as if part of the family! I’ve never left my dog with a sitter before, and had to schedule on very short notice. I’m so thankful for Sheila and such a wonderful experience!!”
“My puppy, Fancy, was very well taken care of. I’m so happy to have found Courtney, and Rover. I will never board again. Fancy was with a family, getting 24/7 care and love. I was given updates and funny stories about my wild girl. Such a great experience!!!!”
“Natalia did a great job with our energetic pup, and she kept us updated with pictures too! Would absolutely recommend her and will definitely keep her in mind when we need someone to watch our dog next time. Thanks again Natalia!”
“Amelia and Matthew are very nice and patient with Mica during daycare and boarding and even gave him a bath! I received frequent update pics and videos of Mica. He obviously had such a fun vacation at Amelia’s home and made furriends too! Thank you for taking care of Mica, will bring him back again for sure!! Highly recommend ♥️♥️”
“Cheryl did an amazing job taking care of my high energy dog! She updated me daily with photos and texts. She was also incredibly flexible with our booking. I will absolutely book with her again!!”
“Carissa took great care of my Nala. Nala hurt her leg a few days before we were going out of town and Carissa was very willing to give her the extra attention she needed! She will definitely be hangout out with Carissa again!!”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing! I needed an overnight stay in a pinch and she was so communicative and easy to work with. I really appreciated her care for Clover and I will definitely be using her services again. She also has wonderful dogs of her own at her home and I know that my pup loved making new friends.”
“Brittany and her family took amazing care of our one and a half year old golden retriever for a little over a week. He had some potty accidents during his stay which we felt so terrible about but Brittany was very forgiving and optimistic about Roper nonetheless. He came back super happy and healthy and we can tell he had a great time and bonded with the family, he may even be sad to go back home 😂 Brittany also sent lots of photo and video updates which we always love! 10/10 would recommend.”
“Thanks Melanie for accomodating my fairly last-minute boarding need! Abby and I both felt immediately comfortable with her, her partner, and their home. Communication was prompt and thorough, and I loved all the pictures! I'd def recommend Melanie and rebook!”
“Daisy loves to stay with Regan! And I know I don't have to worry while she's there. I get updates and photos everyday and I know Daisy is well taken care of. I highly recommend Regan.”
“Valentine was great with my cat and very flexible with booking last minute. My cat is usually very shy but she warmed up to Valentine quickly! Valentine is also great with keeping you updated with pictures. I will be booking again!!”
“Sarah and her son were wonderful with my elder dog. She took good care of the house, sent photo updates, responded promptly to all communications and overall was a pleasure to work with. When she returned the key, my dog was very happy to see her. That says it all.”
“It was the week of July 4th. We arranged boarding tentatively, but the did not work out. Looking at Rover schedule again, we contacted Emily for July 2-7. Thankfully, she agreed. Ron and I and our 2 dogs met Emily and her dog Fish, at their lovely home, and the 3 of them began playing in her big backyard. What a handful they must have been, yet Emily sent many photos and said the dogs played and then napped often. Emily was a kind and gracious host who managed the care beautifully. We look forward to boarding with her again, if she is willing and able.. Thank you, Emily!”

About: Hi! My name is Hillery. I have recently relocated to Ottawa, Ks from San Luis Obispo, Ca to help my mom on her equine farm. I am an avid animal lover as all animals have tender souls and deserve to be treated with love, kindness, and compassion. For more than 20 yrs I have been fortunate enough to lend a helping hand in caring for furry family members of people in need of animal and house sitting. I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, and donkeys. I would love the opportunity to help you, too. My place or yours. Cheers! I am currently available Monday through Saturday after 2pm for walks and/or drop in visits. I currently work Monday through Saturday from 6am to 3pm. I am available to board pets at my house at any time. Thank you! I will give your pet my undivided attention and shower them with love. I am an empathetic, compassionate, trustworthy, animal lover. I love all of them. Thanks!
About: I grew up on a farm and I have experience dealing with all kinds of animals, and it's a passion of mine to love and take care of animals. For extra money in high school, I would dog sit for family friends while they were on vacation, and I still dog/cat sit for my friends and family occasionally. Recently, both of my childhood dogs passed away. I can't have dogs in my apartment and I feel a longing to bond and spend time with dogs. This job is a wonderful way to utilize my animal experience and also fulfill my need to interact with dogs. I currently work as a real estate agent, so my schedule is very flexible. If you would like your dog walked or cared for routinely throughout the week, let me know and I will be happy to fit you into my schedule! I do not offer dog boarding for clients since I am not allowed dogs/cats in my apartment. I do however love to dog sit or just come by during the day to take them on a walk. I understand animals are a part of the family and it takes a lot of trust to allow someone else to take care of them. I always send you pictures of your pet when I’m caring for them. Not only does this assure you that your pet is in good hands, but who doesn’t love a random picture of their furry friend?!
“Savannah was wonderful!! We have a fairly new kitten in the home so having someone come over a couple times a day to check on her and our other cat while we were out of town put my mind at ease and helped me relax while away. Savannah was on time every visit, sent me updates at each visit and took lots of photos to send to me. I will 100% be booking with her again in the future. Thank you Savannah! 🫶🏼”
“Grace was AWESOME! Grace was really personable and caring. My cat is usually standoffish but warmed up to Grace quickly. I would HIGHLY recommend Grace and will be reaching out again when traveling. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
About: My family has had dogs, cats and fish my whole life. I often watch them when my parents are out of town and I have dog and cat sat for family & friends for years. I have helped a friends family with their cattle and pigs, but am not as experienced with livestock outside chickens. I’m currently available 7 days/wk I work as a server in my pleasant so whoever I’m staying with ideally should be able to go 6-8hrs between potty breaks! If I have 2 weeks or more advanced notice I can make arrangements to be able to check in more frequently. o o o o o o o o o o I love interacting with the pets and getting to see them get more comfortable with me. I am very comunicative and willing to ask questions.
About: I’ve taken care of alot of different kinds of pets, from feisty pit bulls, to sassy felines and I’ve always enjoyed their company vice versa I currently work part time nights, so I am able to play all day and somewhat into the night with your little bundle of joy! I have two walking trails outside of my home, and a lovely dog park for your baby to be able to run and play with other local puppers in a safe environment
About: Hi there! I’m Kylee, and I would love to care for your pet! I work during the day but have tons of free time otherwise and am looking to make some extra $ so this is what I chose to do and I am so excited! I absolutely love dogs and all animals as I grew up in a house with dogs, cats, chickens, snakes, hamsters and more so nothing is too crazy for me! My dogs are my pride and joy and I promise to treat yours with the same amount of love and compassion I would want anyone to treat mine with! My mom has a Belgian Malanois and we have raised him and trained him behaviorally from a puppy so if you have similar breed high energy dogs like him, I am well equipped for that! I do work during the day but I am happy to spend all my extra time with your furry friends and stay overnights as well! I know how important it is for dogs to get adequate time and exercise so I will make sure to get plenty of walks and dog park visits if needed! I also love to give pup cups if allowed!
About: I've had dogs my entirely life and I can confidently say they are my favorite animal. Throughout my life I have been heavily involved with different types of animal care, such as volunteering at the humane society and pet sitting for friends and family. I have experience taking care of dogs with various illnesses, and I have also cared for and had puppies. My favorite part about pet care is being able to spend time with and bond with a variety of animals and make them feel as safe and secure as possible while their owners are away. I hope you are able to consider me for watching your pet, I would love to do so! Pet care works great with my routine and schedule. I currently work remotely with other occasional gig jobs, so being stuck at a 9-5 will not get in the way of any pet care services. Meeting your pets where they are is very important to me. Whether they have had a bunch of sitters, or I am their first one, I will make sure to make them as happy and comfortable as I can. Enrichment for animals Is something I view as a high priority, so making time for plenty of walks and play will be a large focus of mine. On top of that, I would love to have housesitting be an opportunity to bond with your animals. As I do not currently have any pets, I really cherish any time I can spend with them and will ensure they are as loved as can be !
“Maiya was absolutely wonderful with our sassy little bengal cat! We booked her for house-sitting and felt completely at ease while we were away. She was responsible, trustworthy, and attentive—not only did she take excellent care of our cat, but she also looked after our home with great care. We truly appreciated her and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, experienced pet care provider with a flexible schedule and hands-on experience with dogs of all personalities, including those who are shy or slow to warm up. I’ve worked closely with behavioral specialists, so I’m comfortable reading dog body language, following care instructions, and managing different routines or environments. Whether your pup needs a friendly face for walks, check-ins, or companionship while you’re away, I take pride in providing thoughtful, stress-free care. I’m organized, attentive to details, and always prioritize safety and comfort—wherever your dog is happiest. Remote job, flexible schedule. Monday-Friday only, weekends are generally open outside of planned events and activities. I finish work at 5pm daily, but it's a very adaptable work routine. When it comes to care routines, I'm consistent and structured. I typically do potty breaks at minimum every two hours and provide walks one to two times daily, adjusting the length based on each dog's energy level and preferences. Fresh water and food are always available unless you specify otherwise. I keep my own dog separate from visiting dogs unless they've had time to become familiar with each other, which helps everyone feel more secure.
About: Greetings my fellow furry friend lovers! While I am home in Downtown Lawrence, I enjoy going for walks and would adore having a pet to share that with! I have always had a dog growing up and would love the opportunity to help others take care of theirs. With my years of caring for pet experience, I know that your furry friend and I will get along quite well! I'm currently working part- time and am available to come home on lunch breaks to care for furry friends. I am available weeknights and weekends for any services you may need. I am also able to house- sit if given enough time to plan for it. I live in a 2 story walk-out and have a dog park located less than a quarter- mile from my home. I am always happy to cater to your furry friend's needs!

About: History: I have had dogs all throughout my life, starting in middle school when my mom and I adopted our first- under the agreement that I had full responsibility! Since then, I have had three dogs on my own, and I have provided care for my friends' and families' pets while they're away. Currently: I volunteer at Missouri Pit Bull Rescue weekly, and I have had several foster dogs through them as well. I dog-sit for my neighbors regularly. I live with my husband and our dog, Bully Porter, a 5-year-old spayed female pitbull mix. I am a registered nurse of over 12 years, and I also have experience administering medications to dogs. I am the main point of contact for the medical team through Missouri Pit Bull Rescue. I typically work from home, and during which, I have time through the day to care for pups who come to our home. Sometimes, we have a foster through the rescue, and during that time, I will need to turn off daycare/boarding. In the mornings, evenings, or over my lunch break, I can take dogs on walks or do drop-in visits. I am off most weekends as well. I do ask for flexibility with drop-in times, as my schedule may change with meetings and having to go in-person, however, I do my best to be accommodating, and I stay in communication. We have a 5' hog wire fenced yard with plenty of room for dogs to run around and play. Our female pit mix is SUPER friendly and would love to keep your dog company and play! We have 2 crates available (one medium, one XL, and when not fostering, two XL) if needed.
About: I've been taking care of all kinds of babies since I was a little girl. From bottle feeding bunnies and kittens to reptiles and horses. I usually always have some kind of a rescue at my house whether it be a foster dog or a some off the wall duck someone brought to me. I take care of them all as they were my own. My true passion is training though! My father has always trained his bird dogs as well as others and I've just always enjoyed seeing what different breeds can do/pick up on. I work remote and part-time at that, so I have plenty of time to tend to your fur baby. I have a fairly open schedule so I can be pretty flexible to fit your needs! I have a large yard (it's being fenced but is not currently) my 2 dogs and cat would love to play with your baby. We enjoy long walks or just snuggling on the couch. I'll treat yours as my own.
About: My husband and I have a dog Anavrin Skye (Nirvana spelled backwards) she is such a sweet girl! She loves all people and animals! I've grown up with dogs my entire life and my love for all animals started at a young age. I've watched dogs for my friends and family for many years including puppies and senior dogs. You can rely on me to take care of your dog like you would take care of them. RIP Harley Jade our little angel. We miss you, sweet girl. I will have plenty of time to take your dogs on walks, play time, appointments,boarding, any anything else needed. Please reach out to me with any questions about my schedule. The way I care for my dog is how I will care for your dog. Your dog will always be safe in our caring and loving home.
“Steve is wonderful with my little guy Fitz! He texts me updates and pictures throughout the day and is super flexible and willing to go the extra mile (especially when work emergencies come up).”
“Being from Lawrence I wanted to find a place close to home but I took a chance on in home care out of town and Mahala is 100% worth the 30-minute drive Monday-Friday. She’s incredibly accommodating and truly treats Gus like her own! he’s so spoiled with her. Gus is usually a very nervous dog, but he immediately fell in love with her, her family, and her dog, which says everything. He has a great space to play and relax, and now he gets excited to go to daycare every day. I couldn’t recommend Mahala more!”
About: I begged for my first dog when I was 10 years old, since then I have never been without one. I used to be called Brittany Dolittle as I just naturally gravitate toward animals. I watch friends and neighbors dogs while they are out of town with the help of my 3 kids. My kids are just as much animal lovers as I am. I am a stay at home mom that is currently taking some college classes. I am home pretty much all day. I have 3 boys that have been begging me to let them help watch our neighbors dogs, so they will be in charge of extra fun play time. I live in a house with a fenced backyard. Dogs do not get left outside. My dog is my biggest baby and is spoiled rotten. I have 2 cats that are very chill. Dogs will not be unsupervised and must sleep in a crate at night.
“Savannah is outstanding. I highly recommend her! This was my dog’s first ever experience going to day care with a dog sitter. She sent me really cute photos of my dog throughout the day and let me know that he was doing great! Cody warmed right up to Savannah, her dog, her husband and daughter. When I picked him up, I could tell that my dog was relaxed and happy. We rescheduled to return on the next day,!”
“Regan was amazing with my puppy. She sent me multiple updates throughout the days, fed my dog, took her potty, played, etc.. while I was at work. I plan on using her again :)”
About: I have had dogs in my home for almost my whole life. I have a pug, golden retriever, and a mutt that are all a couple years apart in age. For two years, I volunteered at a humane society where I walked and cared for dogs of all kinds. Senior, puppy, sick, I have a lot of experience and I would love to get more! I’m currently working at a golf course near Forest Lake. My schedule for work comes out weekly, so I’m unaware what my weeks look like well in advance. I don’t like to do this, but if your pups are able to be home for about 6-8, then this would be a great fit! Obviously I wouldn’t work every day of the week, so I will be available to give them my full attention. Your pups are my priority and I wouldn’t want them to feel uncomfortable with my wack work schedule in any way. My shifts will either be 6-2 or 2-9, or shorter. I prioritize respect for your space and routines. Whether your pet prefers potty breaks in a fenced yard or leashed walks, I’ll follow your preferences to keep them comfortable and safe.
About: *** New Rover Clients: Get $20 off your dog/cat's first booking! Contact me & enter promo code: SHEILW34825 at checkout. 😊 I grew up around and loved animals, especially cats and dogs. I have owned a lab, boxer and pitbull. I have also had cats all through growing up and in my adult life. After my last dog passed away in 2018, I found my home empty and needing some four-legged friends, but I am not quite ready to have my own again.

We will also give baths, and I can provide medicine to dogs if needed. Our home is 100% dog-friendly, and I aim to ensure your dog is comfortable and having fun! When taking on a new client, I recommend scheduling a meet and greet before booking. This gives us a chance to meet and introduce us to your pet and answer any questions you may have. I work from home and have time to let your fur baby outside as much as needed. We can even take walks at lunch! We have a fenced backyard to run, play, and potty. Your dog will never be unsupervised outside, though, since we also love being outside. Pet care is a large part of our daily routine!

About: I have worked with and had animals my entire life. From reptiles to cats and dogs I have worked with many different kinds of animals old and young. I adore training puppies and have had a lot of experience with senior dogs, dogs with incontinence, and other health issues. Your pets safety and well being is of upmost importance to me. My current work schedule is 6am-2pm Mon-Fri with a short break around 9am where I have time to run home and let my dog out. Your pets safety and well being is my main priority. I try to stick to a strict schedule of feeding times and walkies. I have a spacious home with a fenced in back yard. I have a kennel that can be put up for any pups that require a kennel as well as a spare room that can be a safe space for any animal that doesn’t care to socialize with the rest of my animals.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats, took care of them and have a great passion for animals. I’ve had my own pets since 2007 (2 cats and a dog). Since 2020 I have fostered animals for a local shelter including dogs, puppies as young as 6 months, and kittens as young as 5 weeks. I have basic experience in dog training. I’m currently working on a part-time contract basis so my schedule is very flexible and I would love to help you care for your pet(s). I am available daily with a set schedule to accommodate your needs. I am an experienced foster of dogs and kittens. I have a dedicated space (spare bedroom) to keep any animals separate from mine, but if they are dog and cat friendly they could be free roaming in the house when I am home. I have a cable for supervised potty time in the yard. I am experienced with crate training. I am clean and professional, respecting your space and routines in your home.
“Luke and his family cared for my baby for 12 days during my 12 hr shifts over a 4 week period and it went well. It’s very difficult leaving your puppy with strangers and I must say I felt at ease leaving her with Luke and they kept her safe and happy and content. I would use these pet sitters again for sure and I was happy with feeling safe leaving her with them!”

About: I have owned pets since I was very young and I became more responsible with helping take care of our pets around the age 10 or 11. I have given bathes, walks, baby sat, and clipped nails for friends and family. I also work hard to train my babies on commands. They are usually very well behaved but they are both still quite young and get so overwhelmed with excitement when meeting new people and/or dogs. I also know how to administer puppy shots and give pills/capsules. Many people trust me to watch after their beloved fur babies and I hope you will feel the same way. I have a part time job but I will have plenty of time to check on the pups and give them attention and potty breaks. Weekends are typically better for boarding and all day care but I maybe able to pull it off during the week. Other wise I’m open for walks and pop ins in the afternoon and evenings. I live right next to a park where I would take you dog for some exercise and potty time and there is a dog park about 2 miles from my home. I have crates if they are needed. I have 2 roommates who love dogs. I also have 2 dogs of my own who absolutely love to make new friends with dogs and will definitely help your babies burn off some energy.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was an infant and grew to love to train dogs and have been actively caring for/training dogs for 15 years. My family has always asked me when leaving town to care for their animals and have always been happy with the care given while they were gone. Currently working part-time so I’m very free to check on/exercise your pups! I have a lot of experience with a lot of different tools used with dogs; from a flat collar to an e-collar to a prong collar. My three dogs are very well-behaved and are dog, cat, and kid friendly. I currently work through a local animal shelter so my hours tend to change from week to week, but I tend to be extremely flexible! Let me know your needs and I can plan accordingly! I see my clients animals just as my own, I would want my babies to be extremely well taken care of and all of my boxes checked, ducks in a row! So I understand clients wanting the same. I will be just as diligent with your fur babies as I am with my own, because I wouldn’t expect anything less.
About: I have had a variety of animals in my home since I was born and I love each and every one. I have taken care of puppies as well as older dogs.

I can do whatever is needed for your pets whether that be kenneling, fenced yard, etc. I take my dog out on a leash at my house so i’m also good with that.
About: I have always had dogs and absolutely love them! I have cared for friends/families dogs over the last several years. Our fur babies are apart of our families and need to be taken care of with love at all times!

I do work full time as an Assistant Property Manager. I do work at the property where I reside. So I am flexible to come home and check and let the dogs out for potty breaks. In the evening I am home often. Lots of large areas to walk and play. I have a wrap around patio that your dog would be able to be out on. There is a fenced in dog area right around the corner from my apartment home and a nearby dog park.
“Savannah is very good with my pup. When they first met, he crawled into her lap and was immediately comfortable with her. My pup is super spoiled, and being able to count on Savannah is reassuring.”
About: My family has had dogs, cats and fish my whole life. I often watch them when my parents are out of town and I have dog and cat sat for family & friends for years. I have helped a friends family with their cattle and pigs, but am not as experienced with livestock outside chickens. I’m currently available 7 days/wk I work as a server in my pleasant so whoever I’m staying with ideally should be able to go 6-8hrs between potty breaks! If I have 2 weeks or more advanced notice I can make arrangements to be able to check in more frequently. o o o o o o o o o o I love interacting with the pets and getting to see them get more comfortable with me. I am very comunicative and willing to ask questions.
About: I've had dogs my entirely life and I can confidently say they are my favorite animal. Throughout my life I have been heavily involved with different types of animal care, such as volunteering at the humane society and pet sitting for friends and family. I have experience taking care of dogs with various illnesses, and I have also cared for and had puppies. My favorite part about pet care is being able to spend time with and bond with a variety of animals and make them feel as safe and secure as possible while their owners are away. I hope you are able to consider me for watching your pet, I would love to do so! Pet care works great with my routine and schedule. I currently work remotely with other occasional gig jobs, so being stuck at a 9-5 will not get in the way of any pet care services. Meeting your pets where they are is very important to me. Whether they have had a bunch of sitters, or I am their first one, I will make sure to make them as happy and comfortable as I can. Enrichment for animals Is something I view as a high priority, so making time for plenty of walks and play will be a large focus of mine. On top of that, I would love to have housesitting be an opportunity to bond with your animals. As I do not currently have any pets, I really cherish any time I can spend with them and will ensure they are as loved as can be !
About: I've always had dog(s) in my household since I was a little kid. I've seen them all, hyper dogs, lazy dogs, mean dogs, social dogs, and dogs that think that they're human. In my experience in dealing with all of these personalities I've noticed one trait that is essential in dog-care, patience. Patience is something that I have no shortage of, I've seen it all. Trust me, I've seen the nitty, the gritty, and the nasty...nothing can scare me away. In terms of my tangible experience, I've logged an immense amount of hours volunteering at animal shelters and pet-sitting for various friends and family. I'm a huge advocate for exercise and fitness for pets so if you leave your dog with me, I guarantee that we will be going on runs and playing outside.
About: I’ve taken care of alot of different kinds of pets, from feisty pit bulls, to sassy felines and I’ve always enjoyed their company vice versa I currently work part time nights, so I am able to play all day and somewhat into the night with your little bundle of joy! I have two walking trails outside of my home, and a lovely dog park for your baby to be able to run and play with other local puppers in a safe environment
About: I’ve always had a great love for animals. I currently pet sit for a couple of families when they are out of town. I love every type of animal and can provide the care they need! I am currently a stay at home mom and am available most of the time to provide pet care. My husband has a flexible work schedule as well so he is able to keep our kids while I take care of animals. I pay attention to detail and am extremely careful to follow the pet owners guidelines for pet care. It is so important to follow directions to make sure pets are taken care of the way they need and deserve!
About: I have raised and trained several different breeds of dogs for over 30 years. I also have several years of cat ownership and care. I posses a natural and nurturing demeanor with all animals which breeds a instant trust. I currently work part time with a very flexible schedule. I am available for several types of pet care needs. The more interaction the better! I have a fenced yard and love to take walks with furry friends. My dogs have all been crate trained and am very familiar with that process of training. My own pets love endless snuggles and would love to share those snuggles with your pets.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, experienced pet care provider with a flexible schedule and hands-on experience with dogs of all personalities, including those who are shy or slow to warm up. I’ve worked closely with behavioral specialists, so I’m comfortable reading dog body language, following care instructions, and managing different routines or environments. Whether your pup needs a friendly face for walks, check-ins, or companionship while you’re away, I take pride in providing thoughtful, stress-free care. I’m organized, attentive to details, and always prioritize safety and comfort—wherever your dog is happiest. Remote job, flexible schedule. Monday-Friday only, weekends are generally open outside of planned events and activities. I finish work at 5pm daily, but it's a very adaptable work routine. When it comes to care routines, I'm consistent and structured. I typically do potty breaks at minimum every two hours and provide walks one to two times daily, adjusting the length based on each dog's energy level and preferences. Fresh water and food are always available unless you specify otherwise. I keep my own dog separate from visiting dogs unless they've had time to become familiar with each other, which helps everyone feel more secure.

The whole time there was great communication and I really appreciated him being the only dog in the home. He got great exercise and attention and love as if part of the family!

“Brittany and her family took amazing care of our one and a half year old golden retriever for a little over a week. He had some potty accidents during his stay which we felt so terrible about but Brittany was very forgiving and optimistic about Roper nonetheless.

“It was the week of July 4th. We arranged boarding tentatively, but the did not work out. Looking at Rover schedule again, we contacted Emily for July 2-7. Thankfully, she agreed. Ron and I and our 2 dogs met Emily and her dog Fish, at their lovely home, and the 3 of them began playing in her big backyard. What a handful they must have been, yet Emily sent many photos and said the dogs played and then napped often. Emily was a kind and gracious host who managed the care beautifully. We look forward to boarding with her again, if she is willing and able.. Thank you, Emily!”
About: I have always had pets in the home. I believe animals are like children. I volunteer part time at prarie paws animal shelter in ottawa to share my love for pets. I train all of my own pets and am able to handle large dogs, difficult leash walkers, and provide mentally stimulating activities. I work 5 minutes from home. On week days I go home for my lunch to care for the animals in my care. The animals will only have to go up to 4 hours during the day without interaction. During this time they will be supervised via a monitor in the room. We are a multi pet home. We have 2 dogs, 1 cat, 3 fish tanks, and even chickens. We love animals! Your pet will have his or her own private suite in our home which includes a bed, Kennel, toys, blanket etc. We provide activities that will help mentally stimulate your pet and ease their anxiety. The upper level of our home is where your pet will be housed, away from the other animals to prevent any conflicts that may occur and reduce any anxiety that may come with unfamiliar animals. We are able to take up to 2 pets. This number is decided on the amount of private space we are able to provide your pet. 2 rooms are available.
