“This is our 2nd home...lol. We were out of the country for 9 days and didn't worry about our puppy at all. He had a great time and loved playing with all the other furry friends who were there for spring break. I got plenty of pics and updates from Denise and hubby. Thank you as always for taking care of our baby.”
“Lily had another great daycare with Christianna today. As always, she was well taking care of and got plenty of exercise. Would definitely recommend her as a Rover.”
“She’s the best ! I had a last minute family situation and she was able to accommodate getting my dog later in the evening and kept her longer than expected! Thank you !”
“Leo had an amazing time with Melissa and her family. She had her dogs which kept him busy and happy as he loves to play with others and he got plenty of cuddles. We did a meet and greet with the pups a week before the boarding to ensure wveryone got along well and i could already tell leo was in great hands and Melissa even assured me there would always be someone there just in case. The pictures Melissa sent as we were gone made me happy to see that he was getting spoiled and was having great naps and playtime. She updated me daily and ensured Leo was fed exactly what was needed and we would definitely love to have Leo come "sleepover" again.”
“Nikki was very responsive and sent picyures throughout my trip. My pup even had accidents. Thats right i said accidents with an s! And she was so sweet about it. My pup came home happy and i felt at easy the entire time. One less thing to worry about. I will rebook and i recommend you check her out if you need a dog sitter!”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my dog while I was away. It gave me real peace of mind knowing they were in such loving and capable hands. Your patience, kindness, and attention truly mean a lot, and I could tell my dog felt comfortable and happy with you. I really appreciate the time, effort, and love you put into caring for them. Thank you again for everything!”
About: I am an animal lover who has taken care of my own as well as friends and families pets for years. My family has cared for dogs, cats, chickens, goats, snakes, frogs, geckos, chinchillas. I am a stay at home mom, so my time is very flexible. I am able to keep pets to their daily schedules and routines. My property is ideal for a doggy vacay, we have a newly fenced in valley, a forest to explore, 2 dogs companions (can keep separate upon request), lots of squirrels to chase, and plenty to love to go around! I am able to provide an attentive home environment that a pet is used to.
“I was nervous about using Rover for my 3-yr old Yorkie, but it worked out fantastic! Rose sent updates and pictures through our dogs stay. Her yard is fenced in so that was a real treat for our dog. Rose treated him like he was her own dog, gave him loads of attention and cuddles. He had a great time playing with her dogs and another Rover dog. He was smaller than all the other dogs, but he didn’t mind at all. I would definitely use Rose again!”
“Tina was a fantastic sitter for our 10-year old pup! She is clearly a “dog person” at heart and set us at ease right away. Snowball settled in right away and acted confident and comfortable with Tina. She took him for walks and played with toys and sent us cute photos each day! It was evident Tina took excellent care of him! Tina was also quick to respond and communicated well throughout our booking. Will definitely book with Tina again!”
“Christine was excellent with us and took great care of Burt. She was caring and compassionate, and she sent a lot of photos/videos while we were gone. Even when Burt was having some issues because of a UTI, she made sure to attend to his needs and was very patient. She gave him medicines each day as well. We're very grateful for everything Christine did for us, and Burt is thankful too. :)”
“When I picked up Jackson, I was not sure he wanted to leave his vacation with Kathryn and her wonderful family! Sure he was excited to see us, but, then he laid down next to Kathryn as if he was feeling pretty comfortable at her home! She sent photos and write ups daily and this made me feel so much better about leaving him in her care. It was like he knew the family forever! This was the first time we went away without him in 8 years so I was a bit anxious about leaving. I would have no problems leaving him again if I have another opportunity to do so. I highly recommend Kathryn and I know he was very happy being there and well cared for. He enjoyed his daily walks and never missed a meal and perhaps, Me!!!! If there were 10 stars I would click everyone of them!”
“Was very appreciative that Donna took Kodi at the last minute when her usual border wasn't available. She seems so pleasant. Kodi was fine. I will definitely use her again if necessary. I gave her a cash tip which I always do so that they can get full benefit of it.”
“Luna stayed at Sarah‘s while I was traveling internationally for a week and she was awesome. I appreciated the daily updates and it seemed like Luna got a lot of love while I was away. Would definitely recommend Sarah!!!”
About: Hello I am Maura! I grew up in a very large family and we always had a dog. I have had four dogs of my own. I have done pet sitting and fostering for families, friends and a dog rescue organization. My husband and I are passionate dog lovers with 30 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I'm reliable, responsible, and dedicated to providing a safe and loving environment for your furry family member. I’ve always been drawn to dogs and spent years volunteering for a dog rescue organization where I gained valuable experience in caring for dogs with a variety of needs. My husband volunteered with me and together we made several trips down south in a large van to rescue puppies from puppy mills or older dogs scheduled to be euthanized for sitting in shelter too long. I offer in-home pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-ins, and I'm happy to administer medication, provide playtime, and ensure your dog's comfort and well-being. I have a strong understanding of dog behavior and am happy to provide personalized care based on your dog's individual needs. My hasband and I are both home every day. I am available to care for dogs day or night. We are very active and include dogs in our daily life along the Potomac River. Spending time in the yard and walking around the neighborhood are part of my daily routine. My home is pet friendly with a large, fenced yard. Dogs are treated as family members. I am open minded and will listen carefully to any specific instructions provided to me for your furry friend.
“My dog looked like he was enjoying himself so much, I wasn’t sure how to convince him to come home🤭 His previous stay away from home was terrible, and stressful, he returned with hotspots all over his body. I knew we found a good fit Anika because she only watches one dog at a time, more his speed. We received pictures and updates daily which eased his humans minds. I cannot thank Anika enough fo her care. See you soon!”
“We just picked up our pup from Lindalyn. He spent 4 days with her. One of the greatest rover experiences we have had to date. She was so good at making sure he felt comfortable the whole time and constantly updated us with pictures and messages to assure us that everything was going great. I would highly recommend her to anyone in the area. Thanks Lindalyn!”
“This was an emergency stay and we only had a couple of days to book with Erin. Thank you for your accommodation Erin and thank you for taking care of our boy. He loves to come to your house and we love that he loves it! See you next time! As long as you stay in the business, we will support your services!!!! We appreciate all you that do. It makes it easier for us to do all that we do!!!!”

About: Taking care of domestic and exotic animals growing up was an enjoyable, it gives this heartwarming feeling. I have over 15 years of experience of taking care different pets. I am willing to go out of my way for my pets, friends, family and new clients. I helped with dogs birth, puppies care, and senior care. I have a set schedule for my dog from the time I wake up to going to bed at night. Feeding, exercise and playtime will be tracked so you know your pet is getting what they need. I will obey all rules and schedule that is given to me for the best care for your pet. Your pet is in great hands, playtime and optional bathe will be included in house sitting so you can come home to a happy and clean pet if they end up having too much fun outside.
About: I have had my own cat for two years now, who I nail trim and had previously brushed teeth for. My cat had all her teeth removed due to disease and as such I became experienced in medicating her and taking care of her. I have taken care of my friend’s aggressive cat who has attacked me multiple times but will still play with me. As such I am willing to take care of cats with any personality.
About: I have loved cats for as long as I can remember, and I would be honored to care for your cat friends! I currently have two sweet cats that I adore, and I frequently watch my family’s Havanese dog. I have experience working with cats of all ages, from helping with kitten training to providing gentle care to elderly cats. I tailor care to each cat’s needs, making sure they feel loved, safe, and happy while you’re away. My cats have big personalities, so I understand cats’ unique quirks and am happy to follow any special routines. Just let me know how I can help! Whether your cat wants playtime, snuggles, extra attention, or just their own space, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for.
“Crystal took care of my 3 cats and they were not stressed when I returned. She is professional, kind prompt and likes animals. I definitely suggest Crystal for your pet needs. I will be having her if she is available, help me again.”
About: My cat care experience is much less varied than my dog care experience, but I've still had plenty of experience. Both the kennel and humane society I worked at had cats. I lived with 7 cats and took care of them often. A smaller experience would be the campus cats that my college has that will approach me if they're our and about!
“Bre did an awesome job watching our puppy and kitty.. They were so happy when we got home. She took Peanut on nice walks and Loki was super happy. We would love to have her watch them again int e future.”

About: Hi! I’m Haley, a stay at home mom and lifelong animal lover who understands that pets are family not just animals. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, so you can enjoy your time knowing they’re in caring hands. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up in a family that rescued animals, and my mom has worked in the veterinary field her entire career. Before becoming a stay-at-home mom to my three little ones, I spent years working in animal hospitals, where I gained experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. That background taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention to detail are when it comes to caring for animals. At home, we have three playful kittens and a friendly dog, so your pet will be staying with someone who truly understands their needs. We also have a large backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and get plenty of exercise. I know every pet is different, which is why I do my best to stick to their normal routine. Whether that means feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, walks, cuddle time, or simply giving them space to relax! I’ll care for your pet the way you do at home. I believe keeping their routine as consistent as possible helps reduce stress and makes them feel comfortable. When your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and updates while you’re away so you always know they’re happy and well cared for. I know how hard it can be to trust someone with your furry family member, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’d be honored to care for your pet and provide them with a safe, loving home away from home. I am currently a stay at home mom to four children, I am available almost 24/7 to be able to care for your pet, and have a very flexible schedule I have a decent sized yard, it is not fenced in but your pet will never be left unsupervised outside. I am a firm believer that pets are family and will be treated as such. There is no limitations on where your pet will be allowed to go in my home. They want to jump up on the couch for some snuggles? Go right ahead. Feel more comfortable at night in my room? Come right on in. The way your pet is cared for at your home is how they will be treated here.
“My dog had a wonderful overnight stay! They were well cared for, happy, and relaxed when I picked them up. Great communication throughout, and I felt very comfortable leaving my pup in their hands. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs most of my life, helped with friends and family animals. I have done training with most of my dogs as well. I am a new resident in the area and love animals. I am retired and not working at this time. I am very reliable and will take good care of your pets. I have a large fenced in back yard and 2 small dogs for playmates with your fur babies. I would love to care for them.
“Second time using Genil (in less than two weeks) and she was just as great as the first time. I had a last minute request and she accommodated my early morning drop off time. She sent pics showing her interacting with the puppy and he had a great time. Her mom is funny, too. It took a second for my puppy to warm up to her but they're best friends now. Lol. Highly recommend. We'll definitely be back.”
About: I’ve always had a pet ever since I can remember. Dogs, cats, potbelly pigs, hedgehogs, you name it. My love for pets guides my life. I have three rescue dogs of my own. I have owned puppies and also have experience with senior dogs. I have a very well sized back yard that is fenced in. Your animal will be in amazing care on my watch, as I would treat them as my own. I own my own business so my schedule is very flexible. I am able to doggie board on weekends. I am able to drop in and dog walk throughout the day Monday- Sunday. I am well experienced with puppy care & senior care. From administering pills or oral medication to crating animal when needed I am well experienced with it all. I have years of experience and have had animals with a wide range of needs. I love animals with all of my heart and provide compassionate care. If you are interested in dog sitting I can provide services in your home or mine. I only ask that the dog is crate trained because I also have dogs and will need to take turns letting your pets & my pets outside into my backyard for restroom, play, & exercise. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in back yard that your dogs will enjoy.
About: I have been a dog owner and lover for over 25 years. Your fur babies will definitely be treated like a member of our family while here. I work from home so there will be very little time, if any, that your pup would be without company. I have watched dogs/puppies of friends and families for years. Also would love the added benefit of giving my two pups some company now and then. My husband would also be here on evenings and weekends to help with any four-legged guests. We love dogs and would love to welcome yours while you are away! Pet care is top priority and we will take the best care possible of your fur babies. There will be lots of love, snuggles and exercise, and we will stick to your feeding and walking schedules to keep their routine consistent. We give lots of attention and love to doggy visitors.

About: I am a professional dog trainer specializing in Gun Dogs, Obedience Training, and Boarding. I run a small, clean, temperature controlled kennel from my home. Pet Care is my Full time job since retiring from the Military. My day begins at 0500 airing dogs, cleaning and sanitizing kennel spaces, and training. I am typically with the dogs until 10pm when I put them away for the night. Kennel is safe clean and temperature controlled. Dogs are walked on leash, and may even stay in my home, with my personal dogs upon client request.
About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and years of experience caring for a wide variety of pets—including dogs, cats, fish, snakes, pigs, and even chickens! Currently, I share my home with three beloved cats—Captain, Haven, and Slasher—and one sweet pup, Lucy, who keeps life fun and full of love. In addition to caring for my own fur babies, I regularly house-sit and pet-sit for friends and family. I'm currently unemployed due to medical reasons, which gives me a flexible schedule to accommodate potty breaks, playtime, feeding routines, and check-ins—even if I’m not staying overnight. I like to start with a meet and greet to get to know you and your pets. During that time, I ask clients to walk me through their routine and expectations, and I encourage leaving a detailed care list I can refer back to as needed. My goal is to keep things as smooth, stress-free, and loving as possible—for both you and your pets. I'd love the opportunity to care for your fur babies with the same attention and affection I give my own. Let's chat about how I can help! Pet care is already a big part of my daily life with my own cats and dog. I plan my day around feeding, potty breaks, and playtime, so adding in care for other pets fits naturally into my routine. My flexible schedule allows me to easily accommodate visits, walks, or overnight stays based on your pet’s needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow any specific routines or instructions provided and make sure pets are in a secure, clean, and stress-free environment. I take the time to build trust with each pet, move at their pace, and keep their daily routines as consistent as possible. I also encourage clients to leave detailed care notes to ensure nothing is missed.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I've owned both dogs and cats over the years and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all ages and personalities. I regularly care for my parents' three dogs—including an energetic puppy—multiple times each month, so I'm comfortable with everything from playtime and long walks to keeping routines consistent and providing plenty of attention. I'm also a mom of two kids who have grown up surrounded by animals and absolutely love them. We believe pets are family, and I understand how important it is to know they're in caring, trustworthy hands when you're away. I'm an active person who loves being outside, so if your pup enjoys walks, adventures, or simply getting out to explore, I'd love to have a furry friend join me. Whether your pet wants to play, cuddle, or just have someone dependable to keep them company, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to work from home, giving me the ability to provide pets with consistent attention throughout the day. Whether it's walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, or cuddles, I can easily adapt to your pet's routine and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I will treat your furry family member as if they were my own by following their normal routine, respecting your home, and providing plenty of love, exercise, and attention. I also have a ton of land that your pet would love exploring with me! I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands.

My German Shepard takes time to warm up to, but during our first meet and greet with Micaya, Charlie quietly lay next to her feet while we were talking.

“Caitlyn was wonderful with my dad's dog. She was on time, reliable, stayed in good communication with great pics to show how much the dog enjoyed her walk and play time. It was a huge help, since my dad has had health challenges which interfered with good dog walks. Five stars!”
“We had a last minute trip and Victoria saved the day. She took great care of our dog Poe who has separation anxiety. She made sure he felt comfortable and safe. She also sent plenty of pictures and reported back on how he was acting on his walks which made us feel more comfortable as well. I’d definitely use her again.”
“Thank you so much Katie for taking such great care of my 4-legged furry kids! They came home appropriately pooped out. 😊 It didn’t take them long to get attached to you. They’re looking forward to more walks in the future.”
“Shemoy did amazing with the pups, and really saved me after a last minute cancellation. Always on time and took lots of pictures. My dogs, who can sometimes be judgey, took to liking Shemoy right away. Definitely recommended as a sitter/walker!”
“You can tell Alexis is an animal lover watching her interact with your pets. My dog absolutely ADORES Alexis! She is very punctual, attentive, and extremely kind. I am very picky about who I trust with my pup (she has an autoimmune disorder that can come on out of nowhere) and I feel very comfortable having her look after my dog knowing she’s in good hands.”
About: My time working a the trading and boarding kennel had allowed me to handle sometimes over a 100 dogs in a day, each one with different personalities and needs. Each time I would take them on their potty breaks I would make sure to lavish them in attention and play chase if they felt inclined. I also have monitored up to 10+ dogs together in group play, being very careful to watch behavior and know when a dog has had too much or needs a better playmate. I am also an experienced feeder that can create highly individualized meals and medicate dogs through pilling or hiding meds in food/treats. This also includes non-oral meds like ear and eyes drops as well as topicals. Before the kennel, I walked many neighborhood dogs, taking them for long 30+minute walks and ensuring they were fed and had water. I would stay and give them attention after their walks to keep them company if I was not spending the night. I have experience in using E-collar and commands as well. I mostly used commands for feeding purposes but I can also use them to stop bad behavior. Injuries can also occur not matter how careful one is, be it a broken nail, ear inflections, or cuts and scrapes. I have experienced this many times at the kennel and am apt at tending to said injuries should they occur. I’m currently between jobs and while applying to new ones I have all the time in the world to see your babies! No matter the time, my attention is theirs. I work hard to slowly build trust with nervous dogs and give them all play time, pets, and treats (owner approved of course). If there are any special needs, like age or aggression, I take extra care to ensure everyone and dog is safe and secure around me.
About: I have had dogs for my whole life. I volunteered at an animal shelter and learned all about dog behaviors. This has helped me better understand them. I currently have a part time job with a very flexible schedule. I can easily work around it to fit your schedule better. Message me for more schedule information! At this time I am only able to care for pets in your home. I will ensure they have regular bathroom breaks, play time, and lots of cuddles!!
“Leah was a wonderful backup dog walker for me. She and my dog, Yen, got along great. It's so cute to see Yen greet and tell her goodbye. Leah was prompt, friendly and professional. I am happy with my choice.”
About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life. I currently have a Blue Great Dane named Diesel. He is great with other dogs, and we will have to do a meet and great to make sure you’re pup will get along with him also. I’m usually available unless the wife has me doing something. I spend every min I can with my dog and will show your dog the same treatment. My yard is unfenced for now, but it is 2 acres that’s at the end of a quiet neighborhood. We have plenty of room to play and go on walks.
About: I love getting dogs out for fresh air and exercise while making sure they always feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower, more relaxed pace, I’m happy to match their routine and personality. My goal is to provide plenty of attention, activity, and companionship so your pup stays happy while you’re away. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule while I’m focusing on pattern testing. This gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pets throughout the week. My neighborhood is a fenced-in dog park with plenty of lush grass, perfect for safe off-leash play and zoomies! We're also steps away from a private beach and surrounded by scenic trails, so your pup will get lots of exercise, fresh air, and sniffs. I always prioritize safety, positive interactions, and keeping your furry friend happy and comfortable. Water, rest breaks, and lots of love are always included!
About: I grew up with dogs and would help care for them, from walking, to feeding and bathing. I've also helped friends with theirs. I've cared for dogs as small as pugs and dachshunds to as big as collies and pitbulls. I work part time and have a very flexible employer! I'm willing to stop by anytime from 8am to 2am and am willing to house-sit as well. I do not offer boarding at my own home but if you asked anyone who knows me theyd tell you that I'm very cleanly, organized and respectful. I will always do my best to adhear to any instructions you leave for your baby and I do have experience kennaling big dogs.
About: I have taken care of pets since high school. I have 3 children and my amazing mini golden doodle who loves to cuddle. I am a very sweet and reliable person! I make sure your furry one is well taken care of while you are away. I’m very good at sending pictures and communicating to reinsure your pet is well taken care of. I work from home so I have flexibility to walk dogs or if you need me to let feed a pet or let it out and play. I currently have a golden doodle. Previously, I had a pitbull mix and a laberdoodle. So, I experience with all sizes. I have also had 2 dachshunds in the past before I moved to Maryland.
About: I used to have a dog as I grew up and took care of it for many years and have recently helped take care of my landlord's dog as well. I live in a subdivision so I am more than aware of the practice of curbing the dog. I am very special with pets and love taking care of them. I will make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and all the care it needs and not just the bare basics of food water and walks. I also have taken care of a cat too so I am more than willing to take care of cats as well, but I strongly prefer to take care of dogs only. I love dogs of all breeds and sizes.

“I was nervous about using Rover for my 3-yr old Yorkie, but it worked out fantastic! Rose sent updates and pictures through our dogs stay. Her yard is fenced in so that was a real treat for our dog. Rose treated him like he was her own dog, gave him loads of attention and cuddles. He had a great time playing with her dogs and another Rover dog. He was smaller than all the other dogs, but he didn’t mind at all. I would definitely use Rose again!”
“Tina was a fantastic sitter for our 10-year old pup! She is clearly a “dog person” at heart and set us at ease right away. Snowball settled in right away and acted confident and comfortable with Tina. She took him for walks and played with toys and sent us cute photos each day! It was evident Tina took excellent care of him! Tina was also quick to respond and communicated well throughout our booking. Will definitely book with Tina again!”
“When I picked up Jackson, I was not sure he wanted to leave his vacation with Kathryn and her wonderful family! Sure he was excited to see us, but, then he laid down next to Kathryn as if he was feeling pretty comfortable at her home! She sent photos and write ups daily and this made me feel so much better about leaving him in her care. It was like he knew the family forever! This was the first time we went away without him in 8 years so I was a bit anxious about leaving. I would have no problems leaving him again if I have another opportunity to do so. I highly recommend Kathryn and I know he was very happy being there and well cared for. He enjoyed his daily walks and never missed a meal and perhaps, Me!!!! If there were 10 stars I would click everyone of them!”
“Luna stayed at Sarah‘s while I was traveling internationally for a week and she was awesome. I appreciated the daily updates and it seemed like Luna got a lot of love while I was away. Would definitely recommend Sarah!!!”
About: Hello I am Maura! I grew up in a very large family and we always had a dog. I have had four dogs of my own. I have done pet sitting and fostering for families, friends and a dog rescue organization. My husband and I are passionate dog lovers with 30 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I'm reliable, responsible, and dedicated to providing a safe and loving environment for your furry family member. I’ve always been drawn to dogs and spent years volunteering for a dog rescue organization where I gained valuable experience in caring for dogs with a variety of needs. My husband volunteered with me and together we made several trips down south in a large van to rescue puppies from puppy mills or older dogs scheduled to be euthanized for sitting in shelter too long. I offer in-home pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-ins, and I'm happy to administer medication, provide playtime, and ensure your dog's comfort and well-being. I have a strong understanding of dog behavior and am happy to provide personalized care based on your dog's individual needs. My hasband and I are both home every day. I am available to care for dogs day or night. We are very active and include dogs in our daily life along the Potomac River. Spending time in the yard and walking around the neighborhood are part of my daily routine. My home is pet friendly with a large, fenced yard. Dogs are treated as family members. I am open minded and will listen carefully to any specific instructions provided to me for your furry friend.
“We just picked up our pup from Lindalyn. He spent 4 days with her. One of the greatest rover experiences we have had to date. She was so good at making sure he felt comfortable the whole time and constantly updated us with pictures and messages to assure us that everything was going great. I would highly recommend her to anyone in the area. Thanks Lindalyn!”
“Our dog had a great time, she stayed with Ashley for a month. We love that she keep us posted by sending pictures and telling us how Milu was doing. It was great to have that communication. Ashley’s overall energy and interaction made our dog feel comfortable and relaxed. When we pick Milu she was happy, healthy and in good shape. We will definitely book with her again.”
“I highly recommend Melanie and Randy to care for your pets! Our dog,Pax, can only have a certain type of dog toy, since he is a heavy chewer, and Melanie made sure that he would only have non-destructable toys to play with. She also gave updates with pictures to let me know how Pax was settling in. I felt very comfortable with Melanie and Randy caring for Pax and will definitely rebook with them on the future.”
About: I provide a calm, structured home environment along with attentive home visits. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’m home the majority of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and attention. Because of this, your pup won’t be left alone for extended periods. My home is clean, pet-safe, and designed for comfort. I intentionally limit the number of dogs I board at one time to ensure each pet receives attentive, high-quality care. Located in the desirable and safe Pembrooke neighborhood, I also provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.
“Kerry and her family took amazing care of my dog Briggs while I was out of town. I got loads of adorable pictures, and he was returned groomed and fluffy with a new bandana. I highly recommend them and will be reaching out again when I travel.”
“We are so thankful to have found Kimberly - she lovingly took care of our 2 dogs while we were out of town. One of our pups is almost 16 years old with mobility issues and lots of oral medications, but Kimberly took excellent care of her and all her needs. She updated us with photos multiple times each day, which we greatly appreciated. Thank you so much Kimberly - we would give you 10 stars if we could!”
About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life. I currently have a Blue Great Dane named Diesel. He is great with other dogs, and we will have to do a meet and great to make sure you’re pup will get along with him also. I’m usually available unless the wife has me doing something. I spend every min I can with my dog and will show your dog the same treatment. My yard is unfenced for now, but it is 2 acres that’s at the end of a quiet neighborhood. We have plenty of room to play and go on walks.
About: I’ve have taken car of dog since I was 15 and love all kind of dogs. I have a two years old golden retriever that is fully house trained and love everyone. I work full time in the Navy and can board on the weekends. Also, available to sit and walk dogs Monday-Friday from 5 pm to 10 pm I have fencing yard and a golden retriever to keep you puppy company. Also, I can FaceTime anytime you need to see your puppy or send pictures.
