“Nadya was wonderful. She responded within minutes accepting our next day request for daycare for our puppy. She communicated throughout the day with pictures and was a joy to talk to. I could not ask for a better experience for me and my puppy. She put my mind at ease, and by the end of the day, it felt like Buddy had spent the day with a best friend. Thank you Nadya! I really can't recommend you enough. <3”
“What can I say..... My Bobby loves her. He was so happy to leave with her. She is also a great communicator. She kept us informed of his well being along with photos of him. This is our second time asking her to watch Bobby.”
“Brownie had a great time with her! She did an excellent job taking care of Brownie and kept me updated throughout the stay. I felt completely at ease knowing Brownie was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again!”
“Macha enjoyed another great sleepover at Karin's. She loves snuggling and chillin with the other doggies. Karin takes such good care of Macha and considerate updates and pics are always appreciated.”
“It’s hard leaving your fur babies, but we were so happy with Shatane and the love and care she gave our babies that we are planning our next getaway! She gives amazing updates and pictures that had us laughing out loud. I can’t say enough about her, she’s the best!”
“Very glad we got to board our Lab Eddy with Matt and Jennifer. They were always providing updates and pictures and quick to respond. Very nice people, can’t wait to have our dog stay with them again!”
“Sarah and her family took amazing care of Kilo from 9/12 to 9/14. They were incredibly accommodating and flexible with our drop-off and pick-up times, which made the whole process stress-free. It is clear they are experienced dog handlers. They gave us total confidence by effectively managing dog dynamics from the very start and knew exactly when to separate the pups to keep everyone safe and happy. Their fenced yard was perfect for secure outdoor playtime. On top of that, Sarah and her family were incredibly hospitable and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended!”
“Just picked our Sophie up from her third visit with Lora P. and she came through yet one more time! Sophie was happy to go there (no shakes on the way in like with kennels) and Sophie was happy and healthy when we returned a few days later. She will get to spend more time with Lora soon and we know she will have yet another wonderful experience!”
“The absolute best!!! Lucky was the lucky one to get such incredible care. Cannot say enough wonderful things. Will always book here first!! A+ care!!!! Highest recommendation!”

“Thanks so much, Meghan! Iris and Saxon were in good hands from the start and we appreciated the updates. When we’re in town next time and need any help, we’ll certainly reach out”
“Janice was lovely with my dog! She was very natural at handling my dog and his quirks, and she updated me every day of my trip so I could hear about my fur baby when I missed him. I would 100% recommend Janice to anyone who needs a dog sitter, she is a natural.”
“Alana was absolutely wonderful! We have a special needs dog and he was so well taken care of and more! We are so ever grateful to Alana and her wonderful family for all that they did for our little man while we were away. We highly recommend Alana as you can rest assured your pooch will be safe and very well cared for. Thank you again Alana and Papi can't wait to see you guys again!”
“We left our 15 year old Brittany, Dudley, with Kelsie for nearly 2 weeks on very short notice. Kelsie made our international trip so much easier knowing that Dudley was part of her family. She sent photos daily and was great about keeping him on leash when outside. Our first time using Kelsie, but we will definitely be calling on her again should we need boarding for Dudley.”
“Stefanie watched our 3yr old lab Levi for a long weekend. She was very kind and attentive to our dog. Sent many pics and updates for us. I could tell she truly loves dogs. We felt very comfortable with her care for our dog. I would highly recommend her. Best, Alivia”

She made sure my Teddie was super comfortable in her home, gave him constant love and affection, and always made sure there was someone available to play with him. She also gave me daily updates which helped me feel more comfortable while I was away! Will definitely be booking again in the future!”

About: Although newer to cats, my experience in the field of ABA has made me patient, dependable, and attentive to behavior and routines. I follow instructions carefully and provide calm, compassionate, and individualized care, no matter the population or demographic I am working with!
“Absolutely. I’d make it a little warmer and more polished while keeping it natural: Emily did an amazing job taking care of my two pups while I was away for two weeks. She was very communicative whenever something needed my attention, but was also incredibly independent and trustworthy in caring for them. It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her care. I would absolutely recommend Emily!”
About: Hello! My name is Andie and I work at VCA South Shore Hospital in ER, ICU, Neurology and Internal Medicine as a technician assistant and have prior TA experience at Old Derby Animal Hospital. I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. I previously went to the University of Arizona for 3 years studying animal sciences and transferred my junior year to return to the East Coast. I also have some experience with a handful of farm animals from my time at the UofA. Additionally some of my experience comes from working on home farms taking care of horses and alpacas; all of this meaning my knowledge of animals is extensive to give the best care for your furry friends! I have always had the passion for animal care and medicine which is why after graduating I will be continuing my schooling to be a CVT and hopefully someday a veterinarian. A few years back I had participated in boarding through Rover, but after a hiatus I decided to come back to continue with walks and drop in visits because even outside of my main job I love to be around animals! We have a small family dog, but other than that I have rescue retired racing greyhound, Moose, who has travelled far and wide with me. My pets also include many fish, a leopard gecko, chickens and ducks! All this being said, I would absolutely love the opportunity to be alongside your best friends and scratch the itch to spend as much time with animals as I can! I am currently working full time at VCA Animal Hospital where I can do Sat, Sun and Mon anytime. I am open to doing drop ins and walks. It would really help potentially putting me in a position for veterinary school! I take care of your pets like they are my own. I think every one has their own needs and personality, there is no "one size fits all" for any animal. I try to learn your pet on an individual level!
About: As someone who has been a life long cat owner I am dedicated to providing exceptional cat care with a focus on love, attention, and playtime. Let me be your cat's favorite companion while you're away!
About: (PLEASE review my photos and read through my profile to ensure I’m a good fit for your dog, we want to keep everyone safe!) I offer boarding and daycare with pick-up and drop-off services Monday through Friday. With over 15 years of experience working with dogs, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs. I started by helping family and friends, then volunteered at a local shelter, and today, I work full-time as a dog walker and sitter — and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I’m committed to going above and beyond to meet each dog’s individual needs, no matter how big or small. I want every dog in my care to live their best life! I know how important it is to maintain a dog’s routine and to never cut corners, especially when working on behavioral issues. I look forward to meeting your dog and supporting them on their journey! Safety and Fun Are My Priorities Over the years, I’ve learned a few key things that help keep the environment safe and fun for everyone: • I require a meet-and-greet before any boarding stay, which includes a day of daycare. This allows me to see if your dog is a good fit, gives them a chance to meet the other dogs, and helps them feel comfortable and familiar before their stay. • At mealtime, I feed all dogs individually to avoid food aggression and to ensure each dog stays on their specific diet. • For dogs requiring medication, I administer it privately and carefully, to ensure it’s properly taken and to prevent any accidental exposure to other dogs. • I do not allow toys, bones, or personal beds from home during a stay. This helps prevent any territorial behavior or conflicts. Rest assured, I have plenty of comfortable bedding, engaging toys, and safe chews to keep your pup happy and entertained while they’re here! I can’t wait to welcome your dog into my pack and help them thrive! Daily Schedule: • 6:30 a.m.: Wake-up/morning bathroom break • 8:00a.m -9:00a.m.: Breakfast •. 9:00 a.m.-Morning daycare pick-ups (Monday–Friday) • 10:30a.m. – 12:00 p.m.: Playtime in the yard, with breaks as needed • 12:00 p.m.: Lunch • 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.: Quiet time/rest • 2:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.: Afternoon playtime in the yard, with breaks as needed • 4:30 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.: Afternoon daycare drop-offs (Monday–Friday) • 6:00 p.m.: Evening bathroom break • 6:15 p.m.: Dinner • 7:15 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.: Evening play session • 8:00 p.m.: Relaxation and quiet time • 9:30–10:00 p.m.: Final bathroom break and bedtime I have three separate fenced-in yards to keep things fun and engaging for the dogs, giving them plenty of space to run, play, and explore. There are multiple crates available for individual feeding or for dogs who might be a little too curious and like to explore things they shouldn’t. I also have my yard treated for ticks and mosquitoes every month to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for everyone. And that’s just the beginning! I provide a wide variety of toys and enrichment activities to keep the dogs mentally and physically stimulated. We do sensory games, have food puzzles to challenge their minds, and even offer quiet, cozy spots for rest and relaxation. Whether your dog loves to play, learn, or just lounge in the sun, there’s something here for everyone to enjoy!
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life and love spending time with them. I’ve cared for my own pets for years, including raising and training my current dog, who is now four years old. I’m experienced with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, administering medications if applicable, and I always treat animals with love and respect. While most of my experience is personal, I bring a reliable and caring approach to every pet as if they were my own! I work from home four days a week, and I am usually local on weekends, so my schedule is flexible. I’m home throughout the day and can provide potty breaks when needed and playtime during lunch hour and in the evenings. My schedule makes it easy to pop by during lunch or evenings to check in, feed, and give some love and attention as needed. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I have a labrador retriever who gets along with other animals and a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play. I keep a close eye on all pets, maintain their usual routines, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I prefer to host pets who know basic commands and can respect my dog and home.
About: I am reliable and will give your animal the care and love he/she deserves. Available @ Pembroke area to walk, play and visit with your pup. I currently have a 1 year old Daschund mix who loves furry friends so if your four legged friends gets along with small dogs I can potentially watch your dog. I have owned small dogs, large dogs, deaf dog, guinea pigs, bunnies and chickens. I have owned a St. Bernard, 2 labs, poodle and mixed breeds. I recently rescued a puppy, Dolly who is a Dashhound mix who loves to play with other dogs. I will treat your animal just as I would treat my own. Every animal needs exercise while you are at work or away for the weekend and I am the one to make sure they will get it! Whether they like to play with the ball, frisbee or just a casual run or walk or snuggle with, I am your person! I make sure to walk the dog in the morning, afternoon and evening plus play time as they like! Sometimes we can go on mini hikes or down to beach for play. We do not have a fenced in yard so we get our exercise by walking around the yard, to the park, on trails or at the beach.

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover who grew up begging for a dog. After college, I brought home my first dog—a golden retriever who was the center of my world. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with dogs of all kinds: high-energy, troublemakers, dogs with medical needs, seniors, and everything in between. I’m comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I truly enjoy getting to know what makes each dog unique. After meeting my husband, we added a rescue to our household and regularly help care for and babysit dogs for family and friends. After saying goodbye to my beloved Golden, our house has felt a little empty. While we’re not ready to add another full time dog, we love welcoming an extra companion to our home for short term stays! Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I can’t wait to give them the care they deserve while you’re away. I am a mom of two young children and currently at home with them and our rescue dog. I said goodbye to my senior golden last year and have missed having that extra companion. I have plenty of space both indoors and outdoors, and lots of time to devote to your dog. I have a dog-safe, child-proof home. My yard is partially fenced, and I also have an electric fence available for dogs trained to use one (my dog does not use it). My house is located in a quiet, wonderful neighborhood with sidewalks and low-traffic roads—perfect for safe, enjoyable walks.

“Jeremy & Rui were great! Needed last minute day care on a Holiday and they were able to take our Millie. She had other pup friends to play with and they were great with communication. Would stay with them again!”

We would be happy to keep you updated with pictures of your pet during his/her stay. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! I currently stay at home and am available to care for your dog for most of the day. My husband also works from home quite a bit and helps as well.

About: I’m a devoted dog lover and stay-at-home pet caregiver with a friendly, nearly 5-year-old beagle who adores canine company. I have lots of time to cater to your dog’s needs—whether that’s plenty of cuddles, neighborhood walks, or longer hikes—and our beagle has a calm, social temperament and has never met a dog he didn’t get along with. He even helps new dogs settle in at daycare thanks to his gentle nature. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and energy levels and tailor walks and activity to each dog’s needs (short, slow strolls or more active outings). Safe, attentive care and lots of affection are guaranteed—happy to discuss routines, feeding, and any special needs your dog has. I’m currently not employed so my days are flexible. Any doggos that come to the house will be joined by our friendly beagle. Walks are completely up to your discretion. I will do whatever is easiest and the most safe for your pets. We have a crate in our house that can be used if needed. We also have a yard that is not fenced in.
About: Hi! My name is Abby and I am 36 years old. I work from home Monday-Friday 7:00am-3:00pm. I have been watching pets since I was a kid! My uncle next door had a dog who had 3 litters of golden retriever mixes. I helped him raise and take care of them. In college, I was a nanny for a family with a lab and black cat. When they were out of town I took care of their pets. I nannied for a second family a few years later and babysat their golden retriever, bunny, and 2 persian cats when they would go on vacation as well.

I have a miniature pincher mix, she is the friendliest dog and gets along with any dog or person. Couch potato all day kind of dog but loves to go play with other dogs at the dog park. Pets and children are my specialty. I love all animals even if I am allergic to most of them :). I work from home mon-fri 7am-3pm. My dog gets me out of the house and if she has a friend to walk with or visit, it would be a fun playdate for her as well! I have given meds to both my cats since they are seniors. My sister’s dog had pills she had to take as well, which i would do when i babysat her. I am pretty easy going with what i need to do for who ever asks me to watch their pets because I care about what they need. I am the girl at a friends house playing with their cat and dog most of the time.

“Rebecca was very reliable and punctual with her services and with her communication. We were away in another country but felt completely assured that our dog was in good hands. She wad so caring and knowledgeable with our dog. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
“Emily was wonderful with our Great Dane! She was prompt, kind and patient with her. She was very in tune with our pups needs during their walks, and was so mindful on the very hot days to take it slow or return for water when needed. Our pup is known to have some undesirable behavior on walks, and Emily came a few days early to meet her, learn her nuances and took notes so she was prepared to manage it. Looking forward to working with Emily again!”

I have a large yard, and though it is not fenced in, pets will always be leashed and supervised. I have a quiet neighborhood behind my home and many parks nearby for some great walks. My favorite part of dogsitting is spending time with them, so we’ll be together pretty much 24/7!

About: I have been in the caring business since my teenage years - babysitting my younger siblings, caring for my family dog, running a summer enrichment program for at risk youth, caring for horses at a dude ranch and a western suburbs farm, minding many friends' dogs, and wrangling my own two senior dogs - brother and sister, now 14 years old. (But, so rambunctious for their first 10+ years). I love dogs and will care for your dog just as you would. One of my dogs is now blind and the other requires daily subcutaneous fluids so I am willing and able to help out with any of your pet's special needs as well..... I know how stressful it can be to ensure a routine is kept. Pet first aid and CPR certified. I am currently on a full time job hunt in marketing analytics and very available (with notice) to care for your dogs most days and evenings as I can search and do freelance work remotely. Depending on your dog's needs I can usually provide bathroom breaks every 4 hours in between errands, etc. My calendar will be updated to show days I plan to be away. At this time, I can care for pets in my client's home. I do need to bring my dogs for the overnight portion of the stay but will keep them separate in a room/space of your choosing during the evening (and on bedroom floor at night). They are very dog friendly just very sleepy and do well snoozing someplace quiet.
About: I grew up with two German Shepherds, Duke and Thor. Eventually after Duke passed away we got Brie who was a "K9 drop out". My brother has a German Shepherd named Kai, my dad has a 3 legged chocolate lab, Bixby, and two cats, Socks and Olaf, that I frequently care for. I am familiar with small, medium, and large breeds. Dogs with behavioral issues, food aggression or dogs that require specific instructions. I am an early riser, I go to the gym and run before work. If you have a high energy dog, I am a good fit for you. I will make sure your pup is tired by the end of our visit. I will make sure your pet is safe by making sure there are no hazards and if we go for a walk I will keep your pet on a leash and protected against any threat. I have had many dogs off leash run up to myself and a clients dog and I always put myself in-between my clients dog and the others.

“Nadya was wonderful. She responded within minutes accepting our next day request for daycare for our puppy. She communicated throughout the day with pictures and was a joy to talk to. I could not ask for a better experience for me and my puppy. She put my mind at ease, and by the end of the day, it felt like Buddy had spent the day with a best friend. Thank you Nadya! I really can't recommend you enough. <3”

It is clear they are experienced dog handlers. They gave us total confidence by effectively managing dog dynamics from the very start and knew exactly when to separate the pups to keep everyone safe and happy. Their fenced yard was perfect for secure outdoor playtime. On top of that, Sarah and her family were incredibly hospitable and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended!”
“Just picked our Sophie up from her third visit with Lora P. and she came through yet one more time! Sophie was happy to go there (no shakes on the way in like with kennels) and Sophie was happy and healthy when we returned a few days later. She will get to spend more time with Lora soon and we know she will have yet another wonderful experience!”
