Personalized care for your dog or cat - Laurel
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Laurel
“Qingbo was a wonderful sitter for my pup! He loved her. She kept a consistent routine of walks, feeding, sleep, and meds. I appreciated her regular communication and updates with pictures and videos. Drop off and pick up was smooth. Great experience and I will be booking again!”
“Bria took care of our 40 lb pooch for a long weekend in October. It seemed like Mocha had a great time. The fact that Bria owns a dog was a plus for Mocha, since they got along well. I think the starting point for a lot of services including pet sitting is good clear communication and this is a strength for Bria. She is easy to reach, easy to make arrangements with, and quick to follow-up. She is interested in a good experience for the pet and attentive to details regarding any particular pet, which puts an owner's mind at ease. Good frequency of photos during Mocha's stay to give us a sense that things were alright. Also Bria's location is great for Petworth area - convenient and near the center of things but with a nice peaceful section of neighborhood for walks. Overall great experience and we would recommend her and have Mocha with her again.”
“Ms.Tanisha was amazing with my girl Bella! She recognized that Bella gets a bit anxious when away from me and allowed her time to get adjusted with her household. She sent a bunch of pictures, updates, and fast replies. If Bella had to stay away from home again I would choose her! Bella was definitely in good hands :)”
“Kristy had watched Maya during the day a few times prior to staying with her for a couple days. As always, she was very communicative and easy to schedule with. She was very accommodating for the pick up as I had to have someone else pick her up. Highly recommend as always.”
“Felt very comfortable boarding our dog with Nettie. We had a great meet and greet with her and her dogs first which gave us a lot of confidence. Our dog has some special needs and she was very tuned into ensuring he'd have a safe and fun stay. She's incredibly knowledgeable and caring with dogs and provided us with lots of helpful training tips. We received lots of videos of him during his visit and look forward to going back to her again.”
“Jacquline was very efficient with feedback and she sent pictures of bailey enjoying her time with Jacquline family. Jacquline is kind and loves animals. She and her daughter was the perfect match for bailey while I was on vacation. I would definitely work with Jacquline again.🥰🥰”
“Fredis and his family made sure Max was comfy and got plenty of cuddles! Fredis sent pics and updates every day and was super communicative. I highly recommend Fredis to care for your pup!”
“Erika was so amazingly kind and patient. My pup felt so loved and happy as shown by his happy trot every time we arrived. We were very pleased with and blessed by Toby's stay with Erika and her lovely family.”
“They took really great care of Willow and created videos of her having fun! Really responsive and would recommend if you want your dog to be treated like family :)”
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals, starting with my childhood dogs, Bambi and Canelo. I also grew up caring for a parrot, a cockatiel, fish, and a hamster, which gave me experience with different types of pets from an early age. I currently have a dog named Zara, who has brought even more joy and experience into my life. These experiences have taught me how to care for animals with different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding, giving plenty of attention, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their parents are away. I understand that every pet is different, so I’m happy to follow their usual routine and any special instructions you provide. My goal is for your pet to feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m able to work around feeding times, walks, playtime, and other routines your pet is used to. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific schedule ahead of time so I can make their time with me as comfortable and consistent as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, or anything else your pet may need. I’m mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and their surroundings to help keep them safe. I’ll also keep you updated during their care with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing how they’re doing. Most importantly, I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same respect and care I would want for my own.
“I cannot recommend Natalia enough! I was in a last-minute bind before my graduation and had to leave town for four days with no plans in place for my sweet (but very energetic and feisty!) Pomeranian, Brownie. As soon as Natalia reached out and I met her, I immediately felt at ease. She was confident, knowledgeable, and had a thoughtful plan for introducing Brownie to her other dogs and helping everyone adjust comfortably. Throughout Brownie's stay, Natalia sent so many photos and updates that I quickly stopped worrying and was able to focus on my graduation and trip. The pictures made me laugh, and it was obvious that Brownie was having a great time and receiving lots of love and attention. Her home is incredibly pet-friendly, welcoming, and clearly a place where dogs are treated like family. Natalia is kind, patient, and genuinely cares about the pets in her care. She even sent Brownie home with one of his favorite items because he loved it so much, which was such a thoughtful gesture. Finding someone you trust with your fur baby can be difficult, but Natalia exceeded every expectation. I'm so grateful she responded to my request, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Brownie came home happy, loved, and well cared for. She is truly a gem! 🐾❤️ Thank you, Natalia!”
“Tiffany is absolutely amazing! Drexel has loved spending time with her family and gives her hugs and kisses when he leaves. She sent me many detailed updates and photos and even gave him a bath. She was also able to extend our boarding time when our trip was extended. I really appreciate her kindness, flexibility, and 100% trust he with the care of Drexel!”
“Crystal is so knowledgeable about Dogs! She is an amazing rockstar!! She sent pictures and videos and gave me and my daughter a full itinerary! My dog stay three days and came back happy 😊 anytime we mentioned Crystals name Reggie got excited!!! She cares for dogs with the upmost care and is absolutely fabulous!!! Thank you again Crystal!!”
“My dog, Molly did really well with Patricia and her family. I received wonderful photos of her daily. As an older dog with some medical issues and daily medication, I was concerned about leaving her for over two weeks. They took great care of her and made sure she got her medicine. She came home happy and relaxed, so I know she felt very comfortable in their care. I would definitely use them again and feel very grateful for the loving care they gave Molly. I highly recommend using them to anyone looking for great care for their pet.”
“Diana and Felipe were great hosts to our less than one year old puppy during an international trip we took. Even though the boarding was very challenging, they were able to manage it and even decided against telling us about the challenges right off the bat so we enjoyed our vacation. They also sent pictures everyday which we appreciated. In all, are very happy as they have been very communicative thru it all. Thank you for taking care of our puppy.”
“Robert and Pam were awesome. We met them and their husky Shiloh and got a gods feeling. We booked an overnight test run and things went great. Sam got a lot of playtime outside and moped all the way home after we picked him up. He was treated like one of the family and is looking forward to returning.”
“My dog means world to me & I Strongly recommend Marlin G. , she absolutely gave me peace of mind… she constantly updated me & making sure he is all good & loved. I give Marlin 5 star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Thanks alot 🙏🥰🙏”
“Michelle was so amazing, and I can’t recommend her enough! She sent me a few sweet pics of my cat every day, along with a description of what he’d been up to. She went above and beyond playing with him and spending time with him, and I will definitely be booking her again!”

Cat caregivers near you - Laurel
“Liz provided daily drop in visits for my cat Honey for 7 days. She carefully read and followed written instructions and also sent me daily updates and photos. She is a very conscientious and responsible person and I recommend her services.”
“Delany is responsible, attentive, and communicative. She cared for our two cats for an entire week, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. She was also patient and thoughtful when an urgent issue came up and we couldn’t be reached right away. We truly appreciate her and would absolutely recommend her.”
“Booked Matilda for a second time and she was great! I love how much she communicates to keep you in the loop on everything and asks questions about anything she needs. She’s been great, super easy to work with, and can trust that she’ll do the job well. Would recommend and definitely book again!”
About: Animals are such a passion of mine and I care for them as if they were my own. I truly put my all into taking care of them and making sure they have a blast. I work part time in the food industry right now so I decided to let this be a side hustle to help me with school. With the service I provide, even though the time spent with the pets isn’t long I make sure to follow your set instructions along with giving as much love to your pet as I can.
“Corinne was great with my three cats. Two of them are very affectionate and need a lot of love. The third is really shy. Cornnie spent a lot of time with the needy ones and had calm energy for the shy one. My shy cat actually ended up headbutting her by the end of the week and he has never done that with a sitter before! We will be booking with Cornnie again.”
About: My experience comes from always having a dog. My family is extremely pet friendly so I’ve always been surrounded by dogs or all breeds. I love their company and personalities. I am able to give basic care such as baths and medication administration. I currently work part time so my availability is random at the moment. I will be best suited for boarding and drop-ins at this time. I have a back yard area that is not fenced however it is away from people. My dogs fo very well staying in the areas because it is pretty big. My dogs are lazy so we do t go on long walks, but I am more than happy to host a playful, energetic dog.
“Excellent job! I am very pleased with the way Isabelle took time to play with my cat. Last time I went away she was so anxious and stressed when I came home because that sitter just went in and out. But this time, my cat was happy to see me and there were no accidents! I will definitely use Isabelle in the future!”
About: I’m a college student and I’ve been taken care of pets ever since I stayed with my aunt. I learned so many new things of taking care of pets especially dogs. Pet care helps me better whenever I decided to get a pet, I can do better learn how to take care and maintain any pets I can play with your dog with toys you bring, I personally don’t like dogs when in crate bc I believe that they like running around and having fun. I would have take your pet to stroll around and have some fresh air
“Vatia was great with Cindy! I could tell Cindy was getting plenty of love and snuggles while we were out of town. She also communicated proactively and came out to meet us and Cindy before we left town to ensure we all felt comfortable.”
“We’ve booked Christine twice now and each time she did an amazing job. We get daily updates and photos, and she even goes the extra mile to bring our packages in 😂 our cats love her and always seem to enjoy when she stops by. We plan to book with Christine anytime we’re out of town!”
“Probably the best sitter I’ve ever worked with, no exaggeration. Highly recommend and will use again. This was the longest I had ever been away from my cat and Tyasia went above and beyond to make me and Rue Barbra feel comfortable.”
“Rachel was amazing to have drop in and care for my cat. I knew from the minute we started our virtual meet and greet my cat was in good hands. I couldn’t recommend rachel enough. She gave me the peace of mind i needed to enjoy my vacation!”
About: I have been raised around dogs all my life. My dad bred bigger dogs like cane corsos & i breed french bulldogs. The love for animals, especially pups, should be unconditional, just as theirs is to us!! I train pups as well, notably walking my pup around without a leash when in safe environments. I love any pet that comes into my care! I am self employed as well as an experienced dog breeder. I love pets, cherrish them, & treat them like my children! I spend all day with my pup & take her everywhere. I am self employed from home. I have different arrangements for client preferences including food options, crate options being a cage or a flexi kennel, and a gated area to safely allow the pups to enjoy being pups!
“It was Majdoline’s second time to look after our senior cats, and she did a wonderful job again. It was nice and pleasant to come home to a clean and tidy house and knowing the kitties had been well taken care of. Thank you, Majdoline!!”

“Gabby accepted my last minute request for assistance when my regular sitter was unable to watch my dog while I worked. She took good care of Zoey and did a great job with communicating via the app on Zoey’s progress. I will definitely use Gabby again when my sitter is unable to assist.”
About: I've been caring for dogs for about 10 years. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy the companionship, personality, and happiness they bring. I currently have my own 10-year-old Labrador Retriever mix named Buddy, who is about 45 lbs. I've also provided boarding for multiple dogs at a time, caring for as many as five dogs together and for stays as long as 30 days. I've cared for dogs of all different sizes and ages, from dogs around 5 lbs to dogs around 100 lbs, as well as puppies and senior dogs. I've also cared for dogs who require medication and am comfortable administering medications as long as I have clear instructions on the dosage, schedule, and the way your dog is most comfortable receiving it. I have experience with feeding, walks, bathing, grooming, nail trimming, playtime, and basic training. I also understand that every dog has a different personality. Some dogs want to run and play all day, while others are happiest relaxing beside you on the couch. I try to learn what makes each dog comfortable and make their stay feel as much like home as possible. My goal is to provide a comfortable, loving home where your dog gets plenty of attention and never feels like they're simply being "boarded." I do this full-time and work from home, so I’m home throughout the day to provide potty breaks, meals, playtime, exercise, and plenty of attention. I don’t leave the house for work, which allows me to give your dog consistent care and companionship throughout the day. Drop-offs are available from 11:00 AM–11:55 PM. Early drop-offs before 11:00 AM are available for a $15 fee. Need an earlier start? Book the night before so your pup can arrive early, settle in comfortably, and be ready for the day. 🐾 I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy regular outdoor time throughout the day. A typical morning starts with outdoor time for about 30 minutes, followed by breakfast. After eating, I'll give them another opportunity to go outside for approximately 30 minutes to an hour, depending on their preference and the weather. I'll continue providing additional potty breaks and playtime throughout the day. I want to keep your dog's normal routine as much as possible. If your dog normally has lunch, a snack, or meals at a specific time, just let me know and I'll follow their schedule. I also ask that you let me know their normal dinner time so I can keep them on their usual routine. After dinner, I'll give them another opportunity to go outside and enjoy some time in the backyard. I also provide a final potty break right before bedtime. If your dog normally goes to bed at a specific time, please let me know so I can accommodate their usual bedtime routine. My wife typically goes to bed earlier, while I stay up later, so if your dog needs a later-night potty break, I'm happy to accommodate that as well. Dogs are welcome to relax on my furniture or use one of my dog beds. I have toys and treats available, including Milk-Bone biscuits, but I'm happy to follow your dog's normal diet. If your dog has a specific type of treat, a specific feeding routine, or should not receive treats, please let me know or send their preferred treats with them. For overnight stays, dogs have their own room, and I'm happy to accommodate their normal sleeping routine. If your dog prefers sleeping in a crate or outside of a crate, just let me know ahead of time. I have beds and gates available, and can accommodate a crate when needed.
About: I’m a retired Army officer and lifelong animal lover. I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life, and I truly believe pets are family. My goal is to give your pet a safe, loving, and stress‑free experience while you’re away. 🐾 What I Offer Personalized care for dogs and cats of all ages. A calm, structured, and affectionate environment. Daily updates, photos, and communication you can count on. Flexible scheduling (advance notice appreciated) but can arrange last minute pet care if available. Complimentary bath for dogs staying 7+ days. 🏡 My Home & Experience I currently live with two rescue dogs I adopted while living in Africa, along with Swiss — my daughter's energetic, one‑eyed rescue cat who visits regularly. They’ve taught me patience, intuition, and how to understand different personalities and needs. My experience comes from decades of hands‑on care rather than formal training. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, comfort level, and quirks so they feel completely at home. ❤️ Why Pets Love Staying With Me I treat every animal like my own — with attention, affection, and respect. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or laid‑back, I’ll make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved. I’d be honored to care for your furry family member. I'm currently retired and my schedule is flexible. Specific pet routines can be added to the care I will provide and ensuring pets can have a mirrored schedule of what they owner provides them daily. I have a fenced yard that has been pet-proof in order to have a safe pet environment. I take time to individually introduce my pets to others, making it a non-stressful experience.

“Bria was a life-saver! Had to cancel another Rover last minute and Bria came to the rescue. My pup came back to me very happy and very tired and Bria did a great job keeping me informed with pics throughout the stay. Will definitely use her again!”
“I left my puppy Law for Day Care with Erika and Franklin. They took great care of law from sun up til sun down. They were able follow instructions to a T, responded quickly, asked questions and provided photos throughout the day as requested. Definitely would recommend!”
About: Hi there! My name is Jacqueline and I have spent the past 13 years loving on my own 2 dogs Oliver & Annie until they crossed the rainbow bridge. Before that, I dogsat for friends and professors while I was in grad school. Before my 4-year-old daughter & I are ready to welcome another four-legged family member into our hearts and home, I’m happy to pour that doggie love into your pup while you work or travel! We’re both excited to take this step, and I will always be supervising if she is being a helper :) She is, however, afraid of dogs she thinks look like “wolves” (e.g., shepherds, huskies, etc.) and we’re only able to take dogs up to 50-60lbs at this time. I currently work from home most of the week. At most, I’m in the office for up to 3 hours a couple mornings per month. That means I have a flexible schedule to spend time with your pup. I can take your dog on walks throughout the day and there’s a fenced dog park my neighborhood where we can play fetch off-leash!
About: I've taken care of small to large size dogs, and taken care of cats since i was 11. I've watched over Senior cats and dogs too. Monday, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays are completely cleared so I'll have plenty of time to make sure your pet is happy and taken care of. I have a fenced in yard to give your pet some much needed room to play. And accommodations for your pet can be made if needed.
“Henry was well taken care of and came home a happy dog. I will definitely continue to use Vanessa when we need a sitter. She was very flexible with time and I felt good leaving Henry in her hands.”
“She was great with my dog! I really appreciated her inviting me to do a meet and greet before the daycare. It gave her an opportunity to meet my dog and for him to meet her. She has a dog friendly and secure backyard which put me at ease. She also seemed very knowledgeable about dogs and even worked with him after I mentioned his separation anxiety. My dog was happy when I picked him up. She even had him ready in his raincoat. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Tiffany has again been amazing with accommodating our ever-changing schedules. Our dog feels totally comfortable with her and gets excited to see her in the mornings. We are definitely lucky to have found someone to take such great care of our girl!”

I make time for exercise, play, and affection so pets can burn energy, stay happy, and feel secure while in my care.
“Jessica was an amazing sitter for my dog! She was so sweet and accommodating- she sent me updates and pictures throughout the day and sent my dog home with extra treats! I would definitely book with her again in the future. ?”
About: I come from a family of animal lovers. We’ve had cats, dogs and even reptiles such as turtles, lizards and snakes. You name it, I’ve probably taken care of it.

“Catherine was absolutely wonderful! She was so accommodating with my schedule, and I’m so grateful for the amazing care she took of Sadie. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Sadie was in good hands. I will definitely be using Catherine again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and accommodating dog walker. Thank you so much, Catherine!”
“I love Shanae's energy and truly appreciate the ease of setting up the dog walks! My pup loves her on initial meet up!! She's very responsive, informative and extremely helpful. ❤️”
“Olu has been walking for us for about 6 months and we couldn’t be happier with her. She’s on time and walks the full time allotted. What I like best about her is she walks according to the dogs pace . If the dog wants to walk fast, then they do. If the dog wants to sniff the whole way, Olu goes slow. My dog is ecstatic to see her everyday!”
“Madeline has been an awesome dog walker. She shows up on time and my German shepherd absolutely loves her ! I hope to always be able to book with Madeline in the future.”
“Vatia has been great with Coco! She is always prompt and communicative. She is now a regular walker for Coco and we appreciate her services. I would highly recommend Vatia.”
About: I have 2 cats and a dog, my furry babies! Just as loving and caring as I am with my babies, I will do the same with yours :). I am currently available every week Monday through Thursdays! I can be very flexible with time, just would need at least 1 day notice! Thanks! I am very thoughtful and thorough when it comes to the care of my own three babies, 2 cats and 1 dog. I fully understand that each furry baby has their special needs and am super organized to ensure those needs are met.
“Thank you Tristen for taking such good care of Maggie. Tristen made an extra trip to pick up house keys and arrived as scheduled to walk Maggie. I received a confirmation upon completion of the walk so I did not have to worry. Thank you again Tristen.”
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals, starting with my childhood dogs, Bambi and Canelo. I also grew up caring for a parrot, a cockatiel, fish, and a hamster, which gave me experience with different types of pets from an early age. I currently have a dog named Zara, who has brought even more joy and experience into my life. These experiences have taught me how to care for animals with different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding, giving plenty of attention, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their parents are away. I understand that every pet is different, so I’m happy to follow their usual routine and any special instructions you provide. My goal is for your pet to feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m able to work around feeding times, walks, playtime, and other routines your pet is used to. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific schedule ahead of time so I can make their time with me as comfortable and consistent as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, or anything else your pet may need. I’m mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and their surroundings to help keep them safe. I’ll also keep you updated during their care with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing how they’re doing. Most importantly, I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same respect and care I would want for my own.

About: Dogs have been in our lives since childhood, and as pup parents ourselves, we understand how hard it can be to find a trusting person to leave your pup with in your times of need. As previous owners of an energetic dog [Cesar], and a foster dog [Argo], we are prepared for the active lifestyle required to care for some dogs. Similarly, we have experience with more relaxed dogs that just enjoy being pet and pampered. We currently serve as pet sitters for our friends who need dog sitting from time to time. I am open to communicating with you as much or as little as you'd like while your pet is with us. Don't worry, I'm that Dog Mom that Facetime's her pup so there's no shame! Currently working from home two days a week, I’d love to have a furry co-worker join me! My work is primarily centered around hosting meetings, and I’m probably the only person on camera without a pet! I have an open home with easy access to the backyard or front of the house for potty breaks. I can crate your dog if requested or let them roam around my baby-proofed home! There are gates and locks EVERYWHERE!

“Bria took care of our 40 lb pooch for a long weekend in October. It seemed like Mocha had a great time. The fact that Bria owns a dog was a plus for Mocha, since they got along well. I think the starting point for a lot of services including pet sitting is good clear communication and this is a strength for Bria. She is easy to reach, easy to make arrangements with, and quick to follow-up. She is interested in a good experience for the pet and attentive to details regarding any particular pet, which puts an owner's mind at ease. Good frequency of photos during Mocha's stay to give us a sense that things were alright. Also Bria's location is great for Petworth area - convenient and near the center of things but with a nice peaceful section of neighborhood for walks. Overall great experience and we would recommend her and have Mocha with her again.”
“Ms.Tanisha was amazing with my girl Bella! She recognized that Bella gets a bit anxious when away from me and allowed her time to get adjusted with her household. She sent a bunch of pictures, updates, and fast replies. If Bella had to stay away from home again I would choose her! Bella was definitely in good hands :)”
“Felt very comfortable boarding our dog with Nettie. We had a great meet and greet with her and her dogs first which gave us a lot of confidence. Our dog has some special needs and she was very tuned into ensuring he'd have a safe and fun stay. She's incredibly knowledgeable and caring with dogs and provided us with lots of helpful training tips. We received lots of videos of him during his visit and look forward to going back to her again.”
“Erika was so amazingly kind and patient. My pup felt so loved and happy as shown by his happy trot every time we arrived. We were very pleased with and blessed by Toby's stay with Erika and her lovely family.”
“They took really great care of Willow and created videos of her having fun! Really responsive and would recommend if you want your dog to be treated like family :)”
“Tiffany is absolutely amazing! Drexel has loved spending time with her family and gives her hugs and kisses when he leaves. She sent me many detailed updates and photos and even gave him a bath. She was also able to extend our boarding time when our trip was extended. I really appreciate her kindness, flexibility, and 100% trust he with the care of Drexel!”
“Robert and Pam were awesome. We met them and their husky Shiloh and got a gods feeling. We booked an overnight test run and things went great. Sam got a lot of playtime outside and moped all the way home after we picked him up. He was treated like one of the family and is looking forward to returning.”
“Michelle was so amazing, and I can’t recommend her enough! She sent me a few sweet pics of my cat every day, along with a description of what he’d been up to. She went above and beyond playing with him and spending time with him, and I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Simply put, Theresa is the best caregiver for our dog we’ve ever met. We’ve taken multiple trips where Lucy was unable to accompany us and she’s always stayed with Theresa, instantly making Lucy part of her family. Theresa provides daily updates, photos and has provided an outstanding “secondary” home for our pet. Lucy is always comfortable, well taken care of and loved as if she was theirs in all aspects. We appreciate everything Theresa does when Lucy stays and we will continue to use Theresa’s services in the future. Thanks Theresa - you are truly like a second mother to our dog.”
About: I've been caring for dogs for about 10 years. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy the companionship, personality, and happiness they bring. I currently have my own 10-year-old Labrador Retriever mix named Buddy, who is about 45 lbs. I've also provided boarding for multiple dogs at a time, caring for as many as five dogs together and for stays as long as 30 days. I've cared for dogs of all different sizes and ages, from dogs around 5 lbs to dogs around 100 lbs, as well as puppies and senior dogs. I've also cared for dogs who require medication and am comfortable administering medications as long as I have clear instructions on the dosage, schedule, and the way your dog is most comfortable receiving it. I have experience with feeding, walks, bathing, grooming, nail trimming, playtime, and basic training. I also understand that every dog has a different personality. Some dogs want to run and play all day, while others are happiest relaxing beside you on the couch. I try to learn what makes each dog comfortable and make their stay feel as much like home as possible. My goal is to provide a comfortable, loving home where your dog gets plenty of attention and never feels like they're simply being "boarded." I do this full-time and work from home, so I’m home throughout the day to provide potty breaks, meals, playtime, exercise, and plenty of attention. I don’t leave the house for work, which allows me to give your dog consistent care and companionship throughout the day. Drop-offs are available from 11:00 AM–11:55 PM. Early drop-offs before 11:00 AM are available for a $15 fee. Need an earlier start? Book the night before so your pup can arrive early, settle in comfortably, and be ready for the day. 🐾 I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy regular outdoor time throughout the day. A typical morning starts with outdoor time for about 30 minutes, followed by breakfast. After eating, I'll give them another opportunity to go outside for approximately 30 minutes to an hour, depending on their preference and the weather. I'll continue providing additional potty breaks and playtime throughout the day. I want to keep your dog's normal routine as much as possible. If your dog normally has lunch, a snack, or meals at a specific time, just let me know and I'll follow their schedule. I also ask that you let me know their normal dinner time so I can keep them on their usual routine. After dinner, I'll give them another opportunity to go outside and enjoy some time in the backyard. I also provide a final potty break right before bedtime. If your dog normally goes to bed at a specific time, please let me know so I can accommodate their usual bedtime routine. My wife typically goes to bed earlier, while I stay up later, so if your dog needs a later-night potty break, I'm happy to accommodate that as well. Dogs are welcome to relax on my furniture or use one of my dog beds. I have toys and treats available, including Milk-Bone biscuits, but I'm happy to follow your dog's normal diet. If your dog has a specific type of treat, a specific feeding routine, or should not receive treats, please let me know or send their preferred treats with them. For overnight stays, dogs have their own room, and I'm happy to accommodate their normal sleeping routine. If your dog prefers sleeping in a crate or outside of a crate, just let me know ahead of time. I have beds and gates available, and can accommodate a crate when needed.
“Working with Daren was a great experience. This was our family's first time using the service and we were a little hesitant and nervous, to say the least. Not to mention, it was our two dog's first time being away from the family. Darren was responsive, helped to explain the process, and very accomodating to last minute changes and reservation modications. He communicated throughout the reservation, with pictures and text updates, which was really helpful and eased our minds. We would definately recommend Darren and feel confident that we would use his service again!”
“Eli took care of our rambunctious Nala girl for 5 days while in the Dominican Republic. We never had to worry about her and got updates of her walks. We can't wait for our next trips in the future knowing we have an expert caring for her!”
“Cal and Kelly took great care of our large German Shepherd Loki for his (and our!) first Rover experience. Loki hadn't spent a lot of time with other dogs in close quarters prior to this stay, but Cal put us at ease in our initial meet-and-greet with him and both their dogs. We also really appreciated the regular communication throughout Loki's stay. Cal and Kelly were always super responsive and they sent us high-quality photos and videos of Loki every day playing with other dogs and looking like he was having a great time. Would definitely recommend to others and will be boarding Loki with Cal and Kelly again!”
“I am sooooo happy that I found Ashley! She's amazing with Gracie and I am fully at ease while traveling knowing that she is being well taken care of. She keeps me updated daily and I so appreciate that she does it without me having to ask. Ashley is now my go-to sitter!!”
“Victor has watched our pup several times and has always been dependable, caring and attentive. We receive daily updates and pictures. Our dog definitely has a great time at Victor’s!”
“Kushantj was wonderful with my older dog. I received regular updates and photos and I felt great knowing she was well cared for. Will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“Would never board my princess again. My boys loved how Aja keep us informed on our fur babies day, sending us pictures and loving her as we do. High recommended!!!! AJA IS THE BEST!!!”
