“Michelle was awesome. She sent photos every day and answered any questions I had. Zoey was happy and healthy when I picked her up. It was Zoey's first three-night stay away from home and it went very well!”
“If I could give 10 stars, I would. Katelyn is very kind and helpful, in addition to being understanding of HoneyBee's blindness and separation Anxiety. I appreciate all the pictures and videos of my pup while I was away, and especially all the attention given to my pup as well as flexibility of scheduling. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area.”
“Carlie and her family could not have been more loving and attentive. Arlo probably wanted to live there forever. She was incredibly kind about a mistake I made on pick up time.”
“Candice was wonderful to work with! She was quick to respond to all of our questions and so personable. Our dogs have never spent the night away from home so this was a new experience for all of us. She put our mind at ease by sending lots of updates and reassuring messages. Can’t thank her enough!”
“Our pup was well taken care of, walks and ball chasing, lots of pictures showed the fun he was having. Kim even sent him home with a Christmas present- a stocking full of toys and treats.”
“Kevin was amazing! He was super responsive, caring and even sent me photos of my lab, Moon, every morning either playing or on a walk with him. When I picked her up, I knew she had been taken care of. I Will definitely use him again in the future!”
“As a first time user of Rover and first time search for a cat sitter, Elena definitely set the standard. From the first contact, Elena was incredibly responsive, very kind, and extremely welcoming of my babies. Elena and her children took such good care of my babies, as they allowed them space to adjust while being open to their affection as they warmed up. I had peace of mind that my babies were in good hands as she invited them into her home with open arms. When I picked Pocket and Rocket up, they were so soft from freshly brushed hair and calmer to get back into the car. I would absolutely recommend Elena to take care of your cats, as they will get plenty of cuddles, play time, and freedom to explore their new space. Thank you, Elena and kids!!”
“Having our pup stay with Katie always gives us such a peace of mind while we are on vacation because we know our dog is in good hands and being given the best care! She is the best!”
“Dana’s house was a perfect spot for our dog! She has a great fenced in yard and sent multiple photo updates reassuring us that our doggo was having a great time. Her location was a perfect stop on our way to the beach. Would definitely recommend!!!”
“Our pets felt right at home with Janice and Stalio. They were so welcoming, helpful and accommodating with our boys. They kept us up to date daily with pictures and messages and even helped us out with making them their food because we miscounted the amount we sent. They provided amazing care and we look forward to rebooking with them in the future.”
“We had a wonderful experience boarding our pup in Carla's home! Our dog was so well cared for, and Carla sent daily updates with pictures and videos. Her dog was incredibly sweet and got along great with ours. She did a great job balancing exercise with being mindful of our older dog's past surgeries and individual needs. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!”
“Benjamin is an excellent dog sitter! We could really tell he cared about our dog Chewy. He has a lovely home in a nice quiet neighborhood with plenty of outdoors space for our dogs. Chewy looked really happy during his stay and didn’t give us any attitude after his pickup.”
“Dan stayed with Jillian for two weeks and I felt confident that he was in good hands. She took special care of him during thunderstorms and the 4th of July fireworks. She sent regular updates and pics of Dan. He looked like he was right at home and had a great time playing with the other dogs. We’ll board him there for our next trip.”
About: For 13 years, I lived in New York City, where I pet sat for dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to gentle senior companions. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. When I met my husband, we welcomed our own puppy, Suki, an Australian Labradoodle, into our family and completely fell in love with her. After getting married, we traded the hustle and bustle of NYC for the quiet waterfront community of Annapolis, Maryland, where I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a veterinary technician (animal nurse). Beginning this fall, I'll be attending CCBC's Veterinary Technology program, where I'll be learning the knowledge and hands-on skills needed to care for animal patients and assist veterinarians. While I'm in school, I'm excited to continue caring for dogs in my community by providing a safe, loving home away from home. Suki also loves making new four-legged friends and enjoys the extra companionship! Beginning August 31, 2026, I will be attending veterinary technology school part-time on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. My husband works from home full-time, so there will always be someone at home to care for and supervise your dog. We have no children—just one friendly Australian Labradoodle. We're happy to accommodate pick-ups, drop-offs, and drop-in visits upon request. We have a compact SUV equipped with a pet-safe, seatbelt-secured car seat for dogs weighing up to 55 lbs. For dogs over 55 lbs, have a plush backseat extender that can hold dogs up to 100 lbs. We live on the first floor of a luxury apartment community with a fenced dog park and a private street-level entrance, so there are no stairs or elevators for your dog to navigate. Our baby-gated, double-doored patio includes a grass potty area for quick bathroom breaks or house training when needed, and our neighborhood offers plenty of safe, grassy areas for regular walks. Our apartment is fully pet-proofed with covered and elevated trash, recycling & laundry, cordoned-off shoe areas, secured wires & cabinets. We walk our own dog three times a day—in the morning, afternoon, and evening—and can tailor exercise to your dog's individual needs. For walking multiple dogs at once, I like to use a heavy duty waist belt for safety. For puppies, we have an indoor playpen, pee pads, and plenty of hands-on experience with puppy care and house training. We also follow each dog's normal feeding routine and avoid introducing new foods, as our own dog, Suki, has a sensitive stomach and we understand the importance of maintaining a consistent diet. We enjoy positive reinforcement training and have taught Suki to sit, heel, and perform a variety of tricks. We primarily provide boarding and daycare in the comfort and safety of our own home, where your dog will receive personalized, attentive care. I also have the tools and experience to provide basic grooming as needed, and we take pride in maintaining an exceptionally clean home with regular paw and eye wipes, daily vacuuming, and a fully equipped pet spa for comfortable baths. The Bath & Basic Grooming add-on includes a shampoo bath, towel dry, blow dry (if tolerated), spray-on conditioner, and a light brush-out. Extensive de-shedding, de-matting, haircuts, nail trims, and ear cleanings are not included. As part of your dog’s daily routine, we’re also happy to brush their teeth at no additional charge (just provide their toothbrush and toothpaste). We brush Suki’s teeth every evening and know how important good dental hygiene is for your dog’s long-term health. We're happy to accommodate pick-ups, drop-offs, and drop-in visits upon request. We have a compact SUV equipped with a pet-safe, seatbelt-secured car seat for dogs weighing up to 55 lbs. For dogs over 55 lbs, have a plush backseat extender that can hold dogs up to 100 lbs.
“Woody had a great stay with Sydney! You could tell he was well taken care of and Sydney was so great sending daily pictures of Woody. We definitely recommend her and will be using her again!”

“Heather was wonderful! This was my first time using a sitting service and was unsure about how my senior kitty would react to a stranger coming in every day. Heather provided photos, which put me completely at ease, and Sebastian completely warmed up to her. When we returned, he acted like he never even missed us! Heather will definitely be our first choice again!”
“Owen was so kind, patient and helpful while we were away. He took care of everything that we asked and went above and beyond. Thank you so much! Definitely recommend working with him.”
“Jacki was absolutely fantastic! I am always nervous about leaving my cat with someone else, but she put me completely at ease. She provided thorough information about the visit, and she sent pictures. I will absolutely be rebooking with her for my next trip.”
“Darragh was fantastic, sending pics of my two torties, and they seemed pretty comfortable with him. He was very reliable, so I feel better that my cats were taken care of. Thank you Darragh!”
“Alexia is a Great Pet Sitter, she helped Rako out for 9 days, with our return He was Given Food and Water, and there was no mess. I love how she took care of his pads. Great Young Lady to hire.”
About: I’ve been around cats throughout my life and have experience caring for cats with all different personalities, from outgoing and playful to shy and independent. I understand that cats often need time and patience to feel comfortable with someone new, and I’m happy to let them interact on their own terms. I’m currently a Veterinary Technician student and have gained additional hands-on experience working with cats in veterinary and animal-care settings. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, refreshing food and water, litter box care, playtime, basic grooming, and following detailed care instructions. I also have experience administering medications and caring for pets who may need a little extra attention. Whether your cat wants lots of playtime and cuddles or would rather have someone quietly keep them company, I’ll adjust to their personality and routine. My goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and feeling secure in their own home while you’re away.
“Benjamin was very conscientious & dedicated to his task of finding & befriending my scaredy-kitty! He also kindly filled our birdbath & watered our flowers to keep our other denizens (feathered and pollinator) content during our absence. Benjamin caught a glimpse of wRen in flight, however, I’m hoping he’ll return to give both of them additional time to get acquainted.”
“Adelyn was immediately responsive to our inquiry! Set up a meet and greet and hired her for the next day! We felt comfortable immediately that we made the right choice for our two cats! Very pleased and will definitely use Adelyn for our future care needs! Found out our neighbors have used Adelyn for their dogs and they also sang her praises!”
“Megan was so wonderful! We booked super last minute but Megan responded right away. The photo updates she sent were amazing, and we could tell in the pictures that our cat, Sharon, loved her. Megan even got some action shots of our cat playing with the laser 🤩 This was our first time ever using Rover, and the care and detailed updates made us feel so much more comfortable. Megan was incredible - highly recommend!”
“Leigh was very attentive with Karen! She played with her, spent time with her, wrote thorough reports on their time together, and was overall very communicative. She even left Karen a toy (which she loves, thank you!!!) Leigh went above and beyond and I would absolutely book her again.”
“Stacie was great and I’d absolutely book with her again. She was flexible, communicative, and clearly took great care of my cats while I was away. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled, kept me updated, and gave me real peace of mind during my trip. It was obvious from the updates and from how my cats acted afterward that they were comfortable with her and well cared for. I really appreciated her attention to detail and the care she put into everything. Highly recommend.”
“Jean was really lovely with our 4 cats while we were out of town for 11 days. The cats have some quirks, but Jean took everything in stride and treated them with the same love and care that I imagine she gives to her own pets! The cats were happy when we got home and Jean had spruced up around the house a bit for our return, which was a nice touch and much appreciated. I'm sure we will be asking for Jean's help again.”
“Tiffany was a real trouper to come visit our 3 month old puppy. She is knowledgeable, organized and loves dogs. Communicates promptly, and is open to changing circumstances. I highly recommend her.”
“Leah was a huge help to us over Labor Day weekend, dropping in to let out and feed our three dogs. My husband and I are both small business owners, so we jumped at the chance to take a brief overnight trip together and Leah’s help made it possible. She was on time and engaging with the dogs and they were well cared for in our absence. We would definitely recommend Leah!”

About: I have two cats of my own who I adore. I frequently help take care of relatives' and neighbors dogs. My own black lab recently passed and taking care of other dogs is enjoyable and therapeutic. I am a teacher and home by early afternoon . My husband is home all day and helps take care of fur babies in our home while I’m at work. I am free in the evenings and weekends to help care of your fur babies! I have a two-story home with a back yard. Typically, dogs hang out with us during the day in our family room and sleep on dog beds in my bedroom. We live in a very dog-friendly neighborhood and walk dogs during the day on leashes. We have two cats in our home who are used to having dogs in the home.
“Absolutely wonderful ! Walked my dog twice .it was my first time using rover in a new state and Benjamin was a delight. I will be rebooking when I’m in the area again ! Thanks so much for taking such good care of my pup”
“Alex communicated throughout our dog’s stay, shared lots of photos, and took him out for walks. Our shy boy normally takes weeks to adjust to a new sitter, but clearly liked being with Alex and her pack.”
“Maggie had a great time having a calm day with Dana instead of staying home for our 3 year old daughter’s birthday party (with 12 other 3 year olds!) - Dana was really responsive and very responsible and Maggie was so happy!”
“Kacie was awesome! She took great care of Queen while I was away at work. Kacie is very easy to communicate with and was extremely accommodating when my schedule was switched up at work last minute. Multiple videos were sent of their daily adventures. Kacie took Queen to the park or on a hike multiple times throughout the day. I 100% recommend Kacie if you need a dog sitter!”
“Janay was great with Layla’s first daycare session! She sent plenty of pictures and I could tell Layla was very happy hanging out with Janay. We’ve already booked a weekend next month.”
“Sarah and Peter are great! They took care to read my dog’s profile carefully to attend to her needs. They were sure to give her play breaks away from their dog (mine’s older and gets tired faster) and gave her lots of attention!”
“Brittany is the seriously best! She took care of my 2 year old labradoodle, and it was clear from the photos that my dog was having the time of her life in her big backyard and welcoming environment. Thank you, Brittany!”
“Lucy and Daniel are a great team for the best doggy daycare you could ever want/need for your dog! My dog is extremely needy and they gave him nothing but love. We look forward to next time!”
“Alexis goes above and beyond to provide exceptional care for animals! My dog Teddy had a wonderful day with her! He was well looked after and I felt very at ease leaving him with her! Overall an outstanding experience and will definitely book with her again! Couldn’t give her enough thanks for providing such wonderful care!”
“Roxy had a wonderful time playing with Andreas and his dog Luna. She was reluctant to leave in order to come home. The rest of the day she was happy and tired. Andreas was very pleasant to deal with. His fenced-in yard is a big plus.”
About: I trained my current dog (golden retriever) since he was a puppy. I grew up with many animals including chickens, bunnies, cats and birds! I also took in 2 stray cats I found at a local gas station. I adopted my border collie and other cat from AACACC. I also like to help out my older neighbor by walking and playing fetch with his Lab. I’m familiar with a decent portion of breeds and understand their needs can vary a lot! I have a very flexible schedule, I do college classes online so I can choose when to do my assignments based on my schedule during the day. I prioritize training and basic obedience with my dog. My dog goes everywhere with me from car rides, to getting a pup cup, to the lake to swim! I love to take care of him, and spoil him with toys as well. I’m very much the same with your pets! I like to ask what their usual routine is and if you’re working on training or anything specific with them. I also always send a detailed Rover Card for you to look over. In addition, I make sure to check in frequently and send updates during visits/stays.
“Whitney is an excellent care provider for my fur baby! My girl suffers from separation anxiety and I needed someone she could hang out with when I was at work and my family was out of town. All I can say is this was the first time my baby was actually excited to leave me and stay with someone! She wagged her tail and easily went to Whittney when I dropped her off. Always came back to me happy and relaxed. Whittney was great sending me lots of pictures and she regularly took her for a walk. Plus, Whittney is so sweet herself, I want to be her friend!”
About: I had my first pup when I was 5 years old; from that point on I've always had a dog in my life. To me dogs are loving and happy. I have a part-time job as an in home care giver, Taking care of the animals in my free time is a pleasure, I am happy to be with them. I make sure they have fresh water, nice blanket to lay on and a nice yard to run around in and they let me hold them once in a while.

“Owen is reliable, kind and trustworthy. He shows up, gives my dog a good walk regardless of the weather, and responds quickly. I highly recommend him to anyone that needs a walker.”
About: I've been taking care of family and friends dogs for over 5 years. And used to have dogs and cats of my own. I have many fur-nieces and fur-nephews and love them as my own. Because I work remotely, I can take my work anywhere. So, I will be able to stay with your pet for the duration you are gone. I work from home. And have the ability to work from anywhere. I will bring my laptop and be able to work and keep your baby company. Taking care of them in familiar surroundings.
About: I have been around animals my entire life! Growing up my family had dogs, chickens, cats. Currently we have 2 beagles and a black cat named Izzy! My other family members began asking me to watch their animals when they went away on trips or to stop by the house if they were stuck at work. This branched to them recommending me to their friends and now here we are! I have been watching the furry loved ones of others for about 4-5 years now and have loved every second of it. I know how scary it can be to leave behind the animals that you consider your children so I am here to make that process a little easier! I’ve taken care of puppies, dogs, cats, chickens, sheep, and horses. All animals deserved to be spoiled and loved by all 💛 I am currently a therapist that works mostly afternoon/evening hours. My daytime availability ranges day to day but getting to create my own schedule allows for flexibility! Owners know their pets best! Any information provided to me about your furry friend will be implemented so that all parties feel safe and well cared for!
“We absolutely love, Alexia! She is consistently punctual and genuinely engages with our dog during his walks. What really stands out as how well she manages him, especially when he gets reactive around cars and certain dogs. Alexia took the time to do a meet and greet before our first walk, which made all the difference in ensuring everything went smoothly. We've already booked her for multiple walks and will definitely continue using her services. We feel so fortunate to have found her!”
About: I am a true animal lover. I think animals become our family and I want you to feel comfortable that I will treat your pet like my own went in my care. I have experience with many kinds of animals, dogs, cats, hamsters, and reptiles. I am patient and kind and love to get to know your pet. This is currently my only job, so my schedule is very flexible. I am available morning, afternoons and evenings for visits. I can help on weekdays or weekends. I first get to know your pets basic needs, ensuring their safety, and offering enrichment. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, ensuring proper elimination, creating a safe and comfortable environment, offering exercise and playtime, and attending to any medical or behavioral needs. I am comfortable with small and large dogs as well as small pets and reptiles.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals of all kinds and have a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for pets. I’m also currently a Veterinary Technician student, with hands-on experience in veterinary clinical settings and animal care. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets belonging to family, friends, and coworkers, as well as animals with a wide range of ages, personalities, and needs. I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies and kittens, adult pets, and senior companions who may need a little extra patience and attention. My veterinary experience has made me especially attentive to changes in an animal’s behavior and well-being, and I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and medication routines. Most importantly, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and personality so they can feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. Whether that means walks and playtime, lots of attention, or simply providing a calm presence, I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own :) I’m currently focusing on school full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pets. I’m able to tailor my visits around your pet’s normal routine and your schedule, whether they need a midday walk, playtime, meals, or just some extra company while you’re away. I know how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll do my best to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priority! When I care for pets in your home, my top priority is creating a safe, comfortable environment where your pet feels secure. I take time to familiarize myself with your pet’s routine and ensure their comfort in their own space. I always follow your specific instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and any other needs. During visits, I maintain a watchful eye to keep your pet safe and happy, while being mindful of your home. I’ll also make sure to follow any security protocols you have in place, like locking doors and windows, and keeping your pet’s area tidy. You can trust that your home and your pet are in capable, caring hands!
“Debi is great! She is quick to respond to messages, was puntual to the appointments, very caring towards my dog, asked questions to get clarification on how to best care for my dog. You can immediately tell she’s knowledgeable about dogs and a huge dog lover! She’s amazing, highly recommend!”
“Allison has been walking my dog for a few weeks now and she’s been great! Great with communication of her schedule and Murphys needs. I would highly recommend Allison as a walker and boarder.”
“Addy was wonderful with our dog! We love that she has so much experience with dogs of varying breeds and temperaments. She made us feel very at ease and our dog loves her too. We plan to use her a lot in the future.”
About: Hi everyone! My name is Ryan, and I’m beyond excited to walk/hang with your pets! I take this job very seriously, as I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and have experience walking/sitting for many different pets (of all sizes/breeds/and temperaments). Send me a message with any requests! I work part time and do freelance so I have a lot of availability to take care of your pet’s needs, whether that be some extra attention, playtime, walks, drop-ins etc. Just shoot me a message and I can more than likely make myself available for whatever your needs may be! I am very respectful when entering clients homes to take care of their pets. I myself have grown up with dogs and cats, and completely understand all boundaries pet parents may have - whether they’re allowed on the furniture, outside, crate-time etc. The rules and routine you've established with your pets is what's most important! Whether you have a shy cat that just needs to be fed, or a rambunctious dog that needs to get its energy out, I've got you covered!
“Taylor was awesome! My dog doesn’t alway do well with strangers (she’s very shy and timid), but she warmed right up to Taylor. I would definitely recommend her as someone to take excellent care of your fur-baby.”
About: I’ve always grown up in a pet loving household with multiple pets. I’ve been not only babysitting but pet/house/farm sitting since I was 12 years old. I am very comfortable in all different environments and love to walk, run, & snuggle! I’m currently a part time pediatric nurse and have fallen in love with the Annapolis area. On my off days I am very willing to accommodate all your pet needs as early/late and as many times as needed! I have cared for pets in multiple different environments. I’ve cared for pets who have a fenced in yard and others who needed to be walked on a leash. I am comfortable with whatever your preferences are.
About: Pet Care Experience & What Sets Me Apart I have a lifetime of hands-on experience as a pet owner and caregiver. My two white Pitt-mixes, ages 9 and 7, have given me a deep understanding of raising dogs from puppyhood through their senior years. I'm set apart by my ability to connect with animals of all temperaments. I have a solid grasp of dog behavior, honed by training one of my own dogs and patiently working with another to overcome social anxieties. This experience allows me to build trust and confidently manage a wide variety of personalities. For over 17 years, I've provided both short and long-term care for numerous German Shepherd mixes, so I'm comfortable with large, high-energy breeds. More recently, I regularly helped a friend with their foster dogs, acting as a dog walker, playmate, and emergency contact. I'm also reliable with cats and have routinely cared for my neighbor's cat, including feeding, refreshing water, and daily litter box scooping. I offer a professional and consistent approach to pet care. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both you and your pet by ensuring their specific needs are met with attention and care. Weekends I am flexible enough to assist with pet care. Likewise, on Wednesdays I WFH, which allows me some flexibility to help with mid-day walks and bathroom breaks. When I come to your home, I'll always provide your pets and your space with the utmost care and respect. I will always match their energy: if they want to play, we'll play; if they want to snuggle, we'll snuggle; if they need space, I'll be sad, but I'll completely understand.
“Amber has great energy and was so caring with my pup! I had complicated instructions each visit and Amber was understanding and happy to make sure everything went safely and smoothly. Definitely will book in the future!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 15 years, and am an avid dog lover. I am thrilled to sign up as a pet sitter and walker and enjoy time with new friendly faces!

I will be available Monday-Sunday any time to care for your pets! Safety is so important!

I know a few local dog parks that are fenced in, quiet and safe to play too. I know CPR and am happy to continue any training or routines your family conducts.

“As a first time user of Rover and first time search for a cat sitter, Elena definitely set the standard. From the first contact, Elena was incredibly responsive, very kind, and extremely welcoming of my babies. Elena and her children took such good care of my babies, as they allowed them space to adjust while being open to their affection as they warmed up. I had peace of mind that my babies were in good hands as she invited them into her home with open arms. When I picked Pocket and Rocket up, they were so soft from freshly brushed hair and calmer to get back into the car. I would absolutely recommend Elena to take care of your cats, as they will get plenty of cuddles, play time, and freedom to explore their new space. Thank you, Elena and kids!!”

She sent regular updates and pics of Dan. He looked like he was right at home and had a great time playing with the other dogs. We’ll board him there for our next trip.”
About: For 13 years, I lived in New York City, where I pet sat for dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to gentle senior companions. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. When I met my husband, we welcomed our own puppy, Suki, an Australian Labradoodle, into our family and completely fell in love with her. After getting married, we traded the hustle and bustle of NYC for the quiet waterfront community of Annapolis, Maryland, where I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a veterinary technician (animal nurse). Beginning this fall, I'll be attending CCBC's Veterinary Technology program, where I'll be learning the knowledge and hands-on skills needed to care for animal patients and assist veterinarians. While I'm in school, I'm excited to continue caring for dogs in my community by providing a safe, loving home away from home. Suki also loves making new four-legged friends and enjoys the extra companionship! Beginning August 31, 2026, I will be attending veterinary technology school part-time on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. My husband works from home full-time, so there will always be someone at home to care for and supervise your dog. We have no children—just one friendly Australian Labradoodle. We're happy to accommodate pick-ups, drop-offs, and drop-in visits upon request. We have a compact SUV equipped with a pet-safe, seatbelt-secured car seat for dogs weighing up to 55 lbs. For dogs over 55 lbs, have a plush backseat extender that can hold dogs up to 100 lbs. We live on the first floor of a luxury apartment community with a fenced dog park and a private street-level entrance, so there are no stairs or elevators for your dog to navigate. Our baby-gated, double-doored patio includes a grass potty area for quick bathroom breaks or house training when needed, and our neighborhood offers plenty of safe, grassy areas for regular walks. Our apartment is fully pet-proofed with covered and elevated trash, recycling & laundry, cordoned-off shoe areas, secured wires & cabinets. We walk our own dog three times a day—in the morning, afternoon, and evening—and can tailor exercise to your dog's individual needs. For walking multiple dogs at once, I like to use a heavy duty waist belt for safety. For puppies, we have an indoor playpen, pee pads, and plenty of hands-on experience with puppy care and house training. We also follow each dog's normal feeding routine and avoid introducing new foods, as our own dog, Suki, has a sensitive stomach and we understand the importance of maintaining a consistent diet. We enjoy positive reinforcement training and have taught Suki to sit, heel, and perform a variety of tricks. We primarily provide boarding and daycare in the comfort and safety of our own home, where your dog will receive personalized, attentive care. I also have the tools and experience to provide basic grooming as needed, and we take pride in maintaining an exceptionally clean home with regular paw and eye wipes, daily vacuuming, and a fully equipped pet spa for comfortable baths. The Bath & Basic Grooming add-on includes a shampoo bath, towel dry, blow dry (if tolerated), spray-on conditioner, and a light brush-out. Extensive de-shedding, de-matting, haircuts, nail trims, and ear cleanings are not included. As part of your dog’s daily routine, we’re also happy to brush their teeth at no additional charge (just provide their toothbrush and toothpaste). We brush Suki’s teeth every evening and know how important good dental hygiene is for your dog’s long-term health. We're happy to accommodate pick-ups, drop-offs, and drop-in visits upon request. We have a compact SUV equipped with a pet-safe, seatbelt-secured car seat for dogs weighing up to 55 lbs. For dogs over 55 lbs, have a plush backseat extender that can hold dogs up to 100 lbs.
“Woody had a great stay with Sydney! You could tell he was well taken care of and Sydney was so great sending daily pictures of Woody. We definitely recommend her and will be using her again!”
“Becca was wonderful with Bandit. Her son Kash got along with Bandit and they seemed to have fun together. I would ask her to care for Bandit again in the future, and I’d recommend Becca to others.”
“Jasmine was very accommodating so that we could meet before the booking, even though it was a bit of a last-minute for a holiday weekend. Cucumber immediately became comfortable with Jasmine and her home. Jasmine send us a bunch of pics of our baby and made us feel very comfortable leaving Cucumber for longer than she's ever been away before. I absolutely would recommend Jasmine!”
“We had a perfect experience with Peggy! Our senior Golden Retriever requires twice daily medication and extra attention, and Peggy handled everything with great care. We received regular updates and felt at ease knowing our Charlie girl was in great hands. We will definitely book with Peggy again!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Debra. She was AMAZING. Communicated with me often throughout her stay, sent pictures and loved my baby like I would. I was nervous to leave her with someone else for the first time but Debra made me feel comfortable. Thanks so much Debra!!”
“I was so nervous boarding our two dogs with a Rover sitter vs a facility, but both Amy and her husband took SUCH good care of our babies. I had a family emergency and had to leave them for five days. They went on tons of walks, got ample amounts of snuggles, and I was updated with pictures every step of the way. I could focus on family knowing they were in excellent hands, and we will certainly be using them again!”
