“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Trixie! It’s greatly appreciated. While we hate leaving her, knowing someone else cares for her as much as we do makes it a little easier.”
About: My children and I absolutely love dogs, especially my 8 year old son. I work in the school system so we have the whole summer off to enjoy taking care of your pets! I live seconds from a walking trail so your pup can get plenty of exercise, love, and snuggles! I am available all summer long while school is out. July 1 through the end of August. I spend a few weeks teaching summer school- on those days I am home by 1 pm. Your pet will be safely cared for in my two bedroom apartment- with lots of snuggles, nature walks, and toys. I understand different dogs have different needs and I will cater to each pup as needed.
“Colette was great with our two dogs, she has a lovely backyard where they got plenty of exercise and made themselves at home in her living room lounging on the couch and playing with their toys! I’d definitely recommend her for your pups care!”
“James and Mallory were absolutely amazing to work with! I cannot say enough about how well they treated our old girl! We booked last minute due to scheduling conflicts and they exceeded our expectations! We received daily updates AND photos during her stay with them! I will absolutely have our girl board with them in the future when needed!”
“We boarded our boxer Piper for the week and felt she was happy there. Viki kept me updated on how she was doing each day, most times with pictures. They have a set up where they can have their own rooms instead of a kennel. Our dog happened to like the kennel more but could see where some dogs would appreciate the peace and queit of a private room.”
“My dog had so much fun! What a great place for him to stay while I am away. I received tons of pictures which made me happy and he had tons of friends to play with the whole time.”
“Sue is wonderful! My dogs and I got to meet Sue and her dogs before she boarded them. She really is patient with my little dogs and understands their behaviors. One of my dogs is very anxious and barks a lot. She dealt with it well and realized he was just unsure of the environment. My 6 pound Pomeranian took a few days to warm up to her but in the end she did. Sue didn’t push herself on my dog and just let my pup come to her. She took special care to walk them and make them feel as comfortable in their new environment. Sue also took time each day to send me photos and texts so I knew they were ok. I have already booked her for two more weeks this summer. I recommend her with your dogs too. It is obvious she loves and enjoys dogs.”
“Austin has excellent communication, very flexible with scheduling. Immediately setup a time prior to the appointment to have a meet and greet. Walter had an absolute fabulous time with Austin! Kept us up to date with how things were going, with videos, pictures, and messaging. Highly recommended Austin! 10/10 will book again!”
“Dorothy was great - she and her family made Bruno feel very welcome and secure and kept us updated while we were away. He has a special diet and daily medication and she was great with giving that to him. Definitely will book again.”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care my dog received while I was away! Lingwen was absolutely wonderful. From the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease leaving my furry friend in their hands. She was so professional, friendly, and attentive, taking the time to learn my dog’s routine and preferences. During the time I was away, Lingwen kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in great hands. My dog was happy, healthy, and relaxed when I returned. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter for their pets!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Chelsea K! She took amazing care of my dog, Dexter, and went above and beyond in every way. Her home was spotless and provided such a clean, comfortable environment that immediately put me at ease. Chelsea’s attention to detail was incredible—she followed all of Dexter’s routines perfectly and made sure he felt right at home. What really stood out to me was her patience and genuine care. Dexter can be a little shy at first, but Chelsea took the time to help him feel comfortable and safe, which I truly appreciated. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own in a clean, welcoming space, Chelsea is the one to book!”
“Meli was a great sitter! She’s very friendly and attentive. She also has great communication and gave us plenty of updates. I can tell our puppy had a great time while staying with her 😊”
“Summer was lovely to communicate with and sent a lot of photos of Raven, which I loved ! Raven was super pooped when I picked her up so I know she had a lot of exercise too.”
“Our senior rescue pup, Blake, had another great stay with Kristin! Roger and I are so happy to have found someone who truly loves dogs and provides such a safe and enriching environment for the "pack." Blake loves being around other dogs and he is very comfortable being at Kristin's home. Highly recommend!”
“Sandra is great! Lottie clearly remembers her and is so excited to see her which says it all. She communicates well, loves dogs and has a nice fenced in yard. We will keep coming back for sure!”
“Kuma has such a blast! Melissa kept me updated with pictures all the time during his stay. She answered any and all questions I had and was super responsive. He came home super tired and I felt less guilty leaving him behind knowing that he had so much fun running and playing and socializing. I will absolutely book with Melissa again for a boarding or daycare stay.”
“We boarded our dog for the second time for over a week with Vignesh and are extremely satisfied with his care and updates. He’s also very accommodating with our dates and pick up and drop off times.”

“Katie always does such a good job taking care of my fur babies while I’m away. She treats them as they were her own. I feel comfortable & confident they’re getting the best care.”
About: I absolutely adore cats, I have 3 of my own, 2 of which have health issues so I’ve been able to administer many different medication types to them. I’ve volunteered with a shelter for a few months, so I’ve handled a wide variety of personalities and care levels of cats. I will take the time to play and enrich your cat and make sure they are comfortable and stress free while you’re away!
“Rachel is fantastic! We knew we were in good hands starting with the meet and greet. Really took time to get to know us and our pup Tony. Very responsive and flexible regarding our plans, and patient and helpful! Then for the day of the walk she provided updates about our dog and I know they had a great time together! Our dog was in excellent spirits when we returned. We were nervous since we hadn’t had a walker come in years, but all fears were put aside with Rachel. Can’t recommend enough. She brings passion and care to her work!”
“Abbi did a great job stepping in last minute to look after my kitty, Cho. She spent time getting to know Cho during her visits and sent me cute photos of them playing. I recommend Abbi as a very responsible kitty sitter!”

“Amber was absolutely amazing when I was in need of last second care, she went out of her way to send me updates and photos throughout the day which I greatly appreciated as well as picking up and dropping off my baby. She’s a saint!”
“Zulma was absolutely wonderful! She took the time to allow Russell to get acquainted with his surroundings and safely meet her dog, Luna, who was a great teacher and playmate for him.

We feel very comfortable and confident leaving Russell in her care, and we would highly recommend her!”
“My dog loved it with them. With a new puppy I felt comfortable leaving her with them, and the did a great job with her. Loved the updates throughout the day. Will use them again as I feel safe leaving my puppy with them”
About: Hello! I’ve been caring for animals since I was 12 years old and got my first dog sitting gig. Over the years, my family has had every kind of pet: horses, sheep, dogs, cats, birds, iguanas even! I find great joy in showing the animals I work with lots of love and guidance. I’ve trained my own and others' horses, dogs and cats over the years and it’s just the most rewarding experience. I work part time and mostly from home which allows me to be available all day to care for pets. I’m a big fan of a consistent routine with animals rotating stimulation (exercise, play, training or enrichment) meals, rest and balancing the three. I care for pets on my property which is almost entirely fenced in. I have professional kennels in a mixed use building with a residential portion attached. So I have the luxury of providing secure stalls with the addition of our open more homey areas. I can take most types of pets and I’m especially suited to care for animals that do not do well in large boarding facilities, don’t do well with other pets or just want a more personalized, quiet boarding experience. I don’t believe it is always necessary to socialize dogs with dogs and right now that’s not something I do (unless they are boarding from the same owners). I focus on routine, a bit of training and connection with humans! I have a fenced in run where dogs can be off leash for playing, enrichment etc. I designed our kennels myself and had them custom built. Each stall is separated by concrete walls to provide a private and safe space. I chose mental fencing for the top of the partition and the door. I chose this instead of the plastic, glass or solid door options because it provides optimal airflow and allows them to see out. I also have private suites separate from that area.
“Blu loved his stay with Colette and Sammy. . He was able to play out in fenced yard and he really connected with Colette. On his last day he made sure to give a little kiss. Thanks again Colette.”
About: My children and I absolutely love dogs, especially my 8 year old son. I work in the school system so we have the whole summer off to enjoy taking care of your pets! I live seconds from a walking trail so your pup can get plenty of exercise, love, and snuggles! I am available all summer long while school is out. July 1 through the end of August. I spend a few weeks teaching summer school- on those days I am home by 1 pm. Your pet will be safely cared for in my two bedroom apartment- with lots of snuggles, nature walks, and toys. I understand different dogs have different needs and I will cater to each pup as needed.
“Keri and Amy did a wonderful job watching Phineas. They sent us some wonderful pictures of him enjoying his time with them. We would definitely recommend them and we will hope to use them again in the future.”
About: I'll care for your pet like it's my own, and will provide ample ear scritches and snuggles as needed while they miss you during your time away. Our dogs share the couch and family spaces with us, but are crate trained as well. We go for walks daily and have playtime in the yard every 2-3 hours during the day if the weather is appropriate. We have two dogs, and an elderly cat that keeps to himself. Our yard is about an acre on a quiet dead end road and we have an electric fence for our pups, but can of course use leashes and leads as well!
“Alexis was such a kind and patient sitter! She immediately knew how to handle Louis with him being so small and even cleaned up an accident he had indoors! Her dog and Louis got along so well and we would absolutely recommend Alexis to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“I'm so happy with the service my dog gets while at Day care. Love the pictures and updates every time she's there. Paola and her husband are amazing with all the dogs they care for. Definitely recommend them..”
“We were pleased with Michael’s care for our beagle while we both had to be away for the day. Michael has obviously worked hard to make his place human- and dog-friendly. He was conscientious about sending pictures and updates during the day.”
About: I’ve volunteered at Dakin so my expertise is felines. I have rehabilitated, fostered, trained, and socialized any type of cat or kitten. Believe me, they’re just like dogs. My partner and I are both on-call medical professionals so one of us is always home during the week days. I’m at home during the weekends studying for school. Our time is very flexible! It’s best to keep pets separated until a day or two if they come into my home and then there’s a meet and greet. Otherwise, a meet and greet is essentially a day before before entering into their domain.
About: I have had pets in my life since I was a baby. We have enjoyed a lab, standard poodle and currently a mini cocker spaniel poodle mix. I love getting outside and being active with pets. I am at home with my daughter most of the time and I enjoy doing side hustles like selling vintage clothing online and seeking out antiques. We get outside with our dog, Carl often and would love to get a chance to offer outside time and love to other pets on Rover too! I always approach pets slowly with care and love. They feel our energy big time and have so much to share with us when we give them the chance.
About: Trustworthy, flexible pet care: home hosting or in-home stays, hiking buddies or cozy cuddles, and one family’s pets at a time to ensure your pets needs are my focus. I am flexible and available to work around both you and your pets schedule. : I’ll partner with you to tailor care so your pet stays relaxed and well-supported. My fenced-in backyard provides a safe, spacious space for your dog with plenty of playtime and fresh-air exploration. Your pet will be treated like family.
About: I have lifelong experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including rodents, farm animals, dogs, and cats. I’ve lived in a dog-filled home for over 10 years and have extensive experience with bully breeds. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and provide patient, loving, and reliable care for every pet as if they were my own. Book now for a peace of mind and wagging tails ! Feel free to message and reach out by phone Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because animals are already a big part of my everyday life. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Walks, feedings, and cuddle time are built into my schedule, not rushed or squeezed in. I enjoy keeping pets on their normal routines so they feel comfortable, relaxed, and right at home while in my care. Fenced in yard on 3 acres of open land. I spend a lot of time outside with my dogs. I can make sure your pets are in a loving caring and attentive environment
“I'm always a little nervous leaving my boy Blu with new people since he can be a little shy, but I could tell he had a great time hanging out at Melissa's for the afternoon. I received updates and pics of him happily running around her yard with her dog, and making himself maybe a little too comfortable on her sofa. I would not hesitate to entrust her with his care in the future. Highly recommend.”
“Thank you Forough and Amir! We were nervous at first how Russell would do and how he would get along with other dogs, so we were so relieved to hear that he fit right in! We would definitely feel comfortable leaving him with Forough and Amir again and look forward to scheduling another visit!”

About: I've been caring for animals since I was in elementary school, starting with my own pets and eventually helping care for the pets of family members, friends, neighbors, and coworkers. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them and building loving friendships with each one. Whether it's going for long walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm also a proud cat owner, and caring for my own cat has given me firsthand experience in providing attentive, daily care and understanding the importance of patience, consistency, and affection. I genuinely love all animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care and give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. I have full time employment as a classroom teacher! I am now on summer break so I will have plenty of time to hang out and play with your pets!☺️ When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my priority is always making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and companionship so they feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away. I also keep their space clean, fresh, and stress-free, and I always provide updates with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind. For dogs, I enjoy going on long, engaging walks and making sure they get both exercise and enrichment. For cats, I focus on gentle care, play, and respecting their comfort level—whether that means interactive play or quiet companionship.
“April arrived a little early which was great! I was so relieved that Beau got out and had a nice walk. He definitely was more calm for me for the rest of the evening. April was very pleasant and sent me pictures through the walk which I liked. I’ll definitely be using her again!”
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life since I was a baby, mostly large dogs so I know how to handle them and care for them. I’m able to administer medication if necessary, and I’m patient and attentive, so I can make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away. I understand each pet has their own personality and routine, so I always follow owners instructions carefully to minimize stress and keep things consistent. I currently work full time as a bartender, so my mornings and early afternoons are totally open for any care. Nights are a little harder as I get out pretty late. I have 3 cats of my own, I have to administer medication to one of them twice a day, and monitor his litter box use as he has chronic urinary blockages. I am able to feed, clean litter, walk and play with clients pets.
About: I am very open in my schedule and absolutely love dogs. I have grown up with at least one dog in my home my whole life and now own my own black lab mix. To me, pets are family! I have been a nanny for many years and all of the families have also had dogs that I would take care of simultaneously. I also worked for a few families to care for their dogs in the past assisting with feedings, play time, and walks. I have some experience training using a clicker as I have trained my own dog and know of little tricks. Dogs brighten up my day and I love being around them whenever I can. I love all breeds and sizes of dogs as well as all other animals. I have been doing this full time for about a year and a half, and am excited to continue! I am always accepting new clients and am working on becoming a certified dog trainer. I am currently pet sitting full time, so my schedule is very open depending on my bookings. I have current dog walks mid-day Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri and those are my only repeat clients weekly. I offer caring for pets in my client’s homes and always make sure to ask about fenced in yards, typical behaviors of the dog, any behaviors I need to watch out for for instance if a dog resource guards or is aggressive with other dogs or people, allergies, and any other precautions I need to be aware of to safely, effectively, and empathetically to take care of the animal. I also only do walks on sidewalks or non busy roads when possible.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was young. My family used to breed German shepherd‘s, bull mastiffs, and old English bulldogs. I have experience with new born puppies all the way up to our elderly friends. Im very experienced in medication distribution with young puppies and old souls.

I would love to fill my mornings with the love of your pets!! Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I always keep the contact info for the nearest 24/7 emergency vet on hand. Before any transactions we will review your pet's specific routine and triggers. You can expect detailed daily updates with photos so you never have to wonder how your furry family member is doing! If walks are all you are looking for I log my walks via a GPS app so I can send you the exact route that me and your furry friend got to explore!
“Jackie has been a godsend to both my and puppy. Seriously wouldn’t know what we would do with out her. She has beenvery invested to helping me figure out his needs as he adjusted to being in a new home and crate. She treats my home well and will even give the cat a little love too.”
“It was too wet/rainy outside to walk Gidget, but I kept the appointment time anyway. I wanted to start once a week walks for Gidget to get used to seeing Katie around before house sitting for us. Hubby said that she took the time to get to know her and vice versa. Very pleased with Katie.”

We booked last minute due to scheduling conflicts and they exceeded our expectations! We received daily updates AND photos during her stay with them! I will absolutely have our girl board with them in the future when needed!”
“We boarded our boxer Piper for the week and felt she was happy there. Viki kept me updated on how she was doing each day, most times with pictures. They have a set up where they can have their own rooms instead of a kennel. Our dog happened to like the kennel more but could see where some dogs would appreciate the peace and queit of a private room.”
“My dog had so much fun! What a great place for him to stay while I am away. I received tons of pictures which made me happy and he had tons of friends to play with the whole time.”
“Austin has excellent communication, very flexible with scheduling. Immediately setup a time prior to the appointment to have a meet and greet. Walter had an absolute fabulous time with Austin!

“Dorothy was great - she and her family made Bruno feel very welcome and secure and kept us updated while we were away. He has a special diet and daily medication and she was great with giving that to him. Definitely will book again.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Chelsea K! She took amazing care of my dog, Dexter, and went above and beyond in every way. Her home was spotless and provided such a clean, comfortable environment that immediately put me at ease. Chelsea’s attention to detail was incredible—she followed all of Dexter’s routines perfectly and made sure he felt right at home. What really stood out to me was her patience and genuine care. Dexter can be a little shy at first, but Chelsea took the time to help him feel comfortable and safe, which I truly appreciated. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own in a clean, welcoming space, Chelsea is the one to book!”
“Summer was lovely to communicate with and sent a lot of photos of Raven, which I loved ! Raven was super pooped when I picked her up so I know she had a lot of exercise too.”
“Our senior rescue pup, Blake, had another great stay with Kristin! Roger and I are so happy to have found someone who truly loves dogs and provides such a safe and enriching environment for the "pack." Blake loves being around other dogs and he is very comfortable being at Kristin's home. Highly recommend!”
“Sandra is great! Lottie clearly remembers her and is so excited to see her which says it all. She communicates well, loves dogs and has a nice fenced in yard. We will keep coming back for sure!”
“Kuma has such a blast! Melissa kept me updated with pictures all the time during his stay. She answered any and all questions I had and was super responsive. He came home super tired and I felt less guilty leaving him behind knowing that he had so much fun running and playing and socializing. I will absolutely book with Melissa again for a boarding or daycare stay.”
“We boarded our dog for the second time for over a week with Vignesh and are extremely satisfied with his care and updates. He’s also very accommodating with our dates and pick up and drop off times.”
“Lucy had a wonderful stay with Karyn! She quickly became smitten with Karyn’s dog, Milo, and clearly felt right at home. Karyn was fantastic to work with—she kept us updated with daily messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear Lucy was well cared for and happy throughout her stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Karyn again.”
“Paola has a huge love for the dogs🥰 You can see that at the first sight. My big baby on 4 paws spent an amazing vacation with Paola and with other dogs. Paola creates a safe doggy home full of love, joy and, above all, lots of fun for every dog😍 Thank you Paola ❤️”
“We thought we’d feel guilty leaving our dog behind for vacation, but knowing she was having the time of her life with Dawn and her family made all the difference! Their love and attention to her care were evident in every update, and we couldn’t get enough of the adorable photos and videos. We’re so grateful to have found such a wonderful family for her to stay!”
