“Julie was great with my pooch. I appreciated how they introduced my dog to the other dogs and cat and had a gentle demeanor towards the pets. I will definitely book with Julie again.”
“Jazzy had a good time again staying with her favorite sitter, Joni. She really enjoys swimming which is something she never would have had the opportunity to do if it wasn't for Joni. I didn't even know Jazzy could swim, but had a chance to see her today when we stopped to pick her up on our way home from are trip. Jazzy played so much she slept all the way home and for 2 hours after we arrived home. Thanks so much Joni for being so good to our Jazzy. We love you.”
“Toni was great and they really made my dog feel comfortable being in a new setting with new experiences. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Great communication and I was so happy she was available on short notice.”
“Marty is always our choice when we need someone to watch our girl. Marty is great with communication and sends photos and updates. My dog loves Marty’s yard and all the attention she gets.”
“Such wonderful humans!! They made me feel so comfortable leaving my anxious girl in their care for the weekend. They helped her settle in and gave her so much love. I received lots of updates and pictures that eased my heart and made me smile while I was away! I'd recommend them to everyone in a heart beat ❤️”
“Martha was very personable in our arrangement. She sent several messages to let us know how our Gabbi was doing. We've got a real spoiled dog and she wasn't used to being away, but Martha allowed her to sleep with her to keep her calm. That was much appreciated.”
“Victoria was absolutely amazing with our big boy Cash. She kept us updated daily, introduced him to some new doggy friends and had plenty to keep him busy in her fenced in back yard. I would highly highly recommend Victoria to everyone ❤️”
“Leah was wonderful. It is so clear that she truly knows, loves, and understands the dogs she cares for. We received pictures and lots of communication. 😁”
“Very clean and organized space for my 4 month old puppy - was nice to not have to worry about a place not being puppy proof! Prompt communication! I left my dog for a few days with no worries!”
“We loved it! I had my 8 month old puppy with Shannon for 2 days, she was one week after her spay surgery and I was really concerned to have to leave her due to a business trip I needed to take! But Shannon took the best care of my puppy, sent regular updates and pictures and my dog was really happy when I picked her up! We will definitely come back for more visits ???”
“I could not have asked for a better care. Andrew and Morgan took very good care of Kodak and Luna. They send me picture though out the day showing how happy Kodak and Luna were. I was afraid the pups would not want to go back home with me. I hope they are available the next time I need to board Kodak and Luna.”
“Holly was wonderful with our dogs. We had never boarded our dogs before and she helped us to feel comfortable doing so. Communication and care for our fur babies was wonderful. Thank you so much Holly!”
“They were so comforting and took amazing care of my dog, Mila. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. They kept me updated with pictures and messages, which meant a lot. I will absolutely use them again! Thank you Barbara and Dirk.🐾🐾”
“Laura is awesome. I received pictures daily of m dog while we were gone on vacation. She walked him daily which I know he loved. I would definitely use her again. Thank you so much Laura!!!”
“Diane took wonderful care of Rosie for us. You can tell she truly loves caring for fur babies. Her very large fenced in back yard is wonderful for safe outdoor play time. She texted pictures and responds very quickly to texts which gave me great piece of mind knowing our pup was in good hands while we were away. We will definitely use Diane in the future!”
“Kelly took great care of our dog, Bo! It was our first time boarding him, so we were a little nervous but she made the whole experience easy and stress free. She kept us updated with messages and pictures and it was clear that Bo was happy and well cared for, and we couldn't have asked for a better first boarding experience. We will definitely be booking with Kelly again!”

“Sara made us feel more than secure leaving our pet in her care. Sara was even nice enough to extend our original request by a day with no heads up. We would absolutely request again!”
“Katie was beyond fantastic!! She made sure to get to know us and our (6) cats prior. And while visiting them, she took extra attention/time with our old lady cat to ensure she ate enough. Gave lots of scratches to our other furrbabies, sent us pics each day, and even cleaned up some (not so pleasant) ‘cat mess’ for us. Will be requesting her again any time we have to travel!!”
“I can't say enough great things about Shelly; she provided excellent care of our kitties, went above and beyond to ensure they were not only fed/watered but loved and happy. She was prompt, professional and did some "extras" that was greatly appreciated. Shelly is awesome, and I highly recommend her for all your pet needs!”
“We recommend Becky 100%!! Becky is very thorough...does everything that is asked, is very dependable, and loved our cats as if they were her pets. If we need Becky in the future there will be no hesitation.”

About: With over 25 years of experience in caring for dogs and horses, I approach pet sitting with an understanding of animal behavior and a compassionate approach. Whether your furry friend is a playful pup or an anxious companion, I use positive reinforcement techniques to create a safe and nurturing environment. I have a friendly 4-year-old golden retriever, Lily, who gets along wonderfully with other dogs, providing a perfect playmate for your pup. I regularly care for friends and family's pets, and have watched dogs recovering from surgeries and in need of medication. Our spacious 2.5-acre property offers plenty of room for dogs to roam, explore, and enjoy playtime in a safe setting. From daily walks to playing fetch in the yard, your pets will be in loving hands. Having used Rover to book pet care for my dog, Lily, I understand that leaving your dog can be nerve-wracking. Let me provide the peace of mind you deserve while you're away, knowing your beloved dog is receiving top-notch care! Working from home allows me to spend time with your dog throughout the day and attend to them as much as needed. I walk every day and am happy to take your pup along with me if they love walks too! With 2.5 acres and a super friendly, welcoming golden retriever, Lily, I'd love to welcome your dog into our home. We want your dog(s) to cozy in and feel at home, and welcome them sleeping in our room or in their crate, however they are most comfortable.

We have 2 little boys in our home as well as a laid back newfoundland dog and 2 cats. Can administer medicine if needed and will try every trick in the book if needed to make it happen. I work part time from home so I will be home almost 24/7 besides the occasional errands. Animals can be with me as much as they would like. Dogs can be taken out and walked as often as needed. Animals can be allowed the run of the house or we also have a seperate downstairs area when some alone time is preferred or needed. Cats can be enclosed in a large quiet room with a tall gate if they prefer with seperate litter box. Crates are available for use upon request.

I work in outside sales from home 4 days a week, the the other 3 I am on the road for 8-10 hours a day. I have 2 friendly dogs and am very energetic, I run/walk multiple times a day and spend most my time outside. Very patient with dogs and can help leash train.

About: Both Matt and I have taken care of animals since we were young for friends &family. We have two frenchies both are two years old ( please keep in mind when they first meet a new dog they get very excited, can have a lot of energy and LOVE to play) We have also had experience with numerous breeds. Your fur baby will have lots of fun and love in our home. Having two frenchies, we know how high maintenance some dogs can be, that’s why it’s important to us to provide the best experience for you and your fur baby. During Monday-Friday I work 8-5. However, Matt does work from home so will be able to give your fur baby all the love and attention!( if Matt does have to step out it’s typically no longer than 2 hours but not often ) If you have any questions regarding our schedule, please feel free to reach out. If for some reason Matt does have to leave for more than a couple hours, we will block that day off as we do not believe in leaving fur babies alone for long periods. We are homebodies on the weekends as well. So someone will always be with your fur baby. We will make sure your fur baby gets plenty of walks and outside time. We live in a nice/quiet neighborhood. When the weather is nice, our frenchies love to sun bathe, play fetch, we also set up their splash pad, so we spend lots of time outside. We do allow dogs on our bed and furniture( if you allow it) we will not crate your dog unless we do have to step out ( which again is not often). During the night, we will not crate unless you prefer them in a crate. Please let us know if there is any special request and we can accommodate. We do ask for a meet n greet for any boarding to make sure your dogs and our two frenchies get along. Your fur baby’s safety and comfortability will always be our priority as well as our babies. We know how it feels leaving your fur baby and you might get anxious so we will make sure to send a daily update. *Please note we are happy to accommodate large dogs, they MUST get along with little dogs. We do only accept one large dog at a time. Please be sure to look at our pics as we do have a short fence, if your dog is known for jumping we may have to utilize a dog lead* **DROP OFFS/PICK UP- Please do not show up early without talking to us prior, If you are going to be late, please let us know asap, we operate around your guys times selected and schedule other bookings/meet n greets around drop offs and pick up ***

“Kellie and Paige were both great with my dog. He’s a bigger dog and is kinda scared of meeting new people, and they were very patient with him and I on introductions and when they would come by to take him for walks. I also had several shift changes for the month I was here and they were great at communicating and flexible with their schedules, which was very kind. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.”

I received lots of updates and pictures that eased my heart and made me smile while I was away! I'd recommend them to everyone in a heart beat ❤️”
“Martha was very personable in our arrangement. She sent several messages to let us know how our Gabbi was doing. We've got a real spoiled dog and she wasn't used to being away, but Martha allowed her to sleep with her to keep her calm. That was much appreciated.”
“Victoria was absolutely amazing with our big boy Cash. She kept us updated daily, introduced him to some new doggy friends and had plenty to keep him busy in her fenced in back yard. I would highly highly recommend Victoria to everyone ❤️”
“Leah was wonderful. It is so clear that she truly knows, loves, and understands the dogs she cares for. We received pictures and lots of communication. 😁”
“Very clean and organized space for my 4 month old puppy - was nice to not have to worry about a place not being puppy proof! Prompt communication! I left my dog for a few days with no worries!”
“I could not have asked for a better care. Andrew and Morgan took very good care of Kodak and Luna. They send me picture though out the day showing how happy Kodak and Luna were. I was afraid the pups would not want to go back home with me. I hope they are available the next time I need to board Kodak and Luna.”
“Holly was wonderful with our dogs. We had never boarded our dogs before and she helped us to feel comfortable doing so. Communication and care for our fur babies was wonderful. Thank you so much Holly!”
“They were so comforting and took amazing care of my dog, Mila. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. They kept me updated with pictures and messages, which meant a lot. I will absolutely use them again! Thank you Barbara and Dirk.🐾🐾”
“Laura is awesome. I received pictures daily of m dog while we were gone on vacation. She walked him daily which I know he loved. I would definitely use her again. Thank you so much Laura!!!”
“Diane took wonderful care of Rosie for us. You can tell she truly loves caring for fur babies. Her very large fenced in back yard is wonderful for safe outdoor play time. She texted pictures and responds very quickly to texts which gave me great piece of mind knowing our pup was in good hands while we were away. We will definitely use Diane in the future!”
“Kelly took great care of our dog, Bo! It was our first time boarding him, so we were a little nervous but she made the whole experience easy and stress free. She kept us updated with messages and pictures and it was clear that Bo was happy and well cared for, and we couldn't have asked for a better first boarding experience. We will definitely be booking with Kelly again!”
“Rachel did an amazing job with our dog. She kept us updated with how Louie was doing and sent us lots of pictures, which was great to see how he was doing. I really believe Louie enjoyed himself with Rachel and her family.”
“Brittany was super sweet to our doggy. Always communicating with us, sending us photos, and keeping us updated. We are so grateful that Luca could stay with her, happy and safe while we were a part of a wedding this weekend. We are so happy and highly recommend her to take care of your pups.”
About: I've had and helped care for many different animals since I was a child including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, and chickens. We have 2 little boys in our home as well as a laid back newfoundland dog and 2 cats. Can administer medicine if needed and will try every trick in the book if needed to make it happen. I work part time from home so I will be home almost 24/7 besides the occasional errands. Animals can be with me as much as they would like. Dogs can be taken out and walked as often as needed. Animals can be allowed the run of the house or we also have a seperate downstairs area when some alone time is preferred or needed. Cats can be enclosed in a large quiet room with a tall gate if they prefer with seperate litter box. Crates are available for use upon request.
