“Our one year old Golden Retriever, Henry, spent a weekend with Sabrina - it was his first experience staying with a dog sitter. She was great and put our mind at ease! Very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend. We will definitely book with her again. I think Henry had so much fun playing with the other dogs!”
“Emily and her family were so great with my dog. It's very nerve racking to leave your furry baby with unknown people but Emily made me feel at ease and my dog seemed to really love her family. She sent me lots of pictures and updates.”
“My Dog, Buffy, stayed with Matt for a week. She is 14 years old and she's a nervous girl. Matt was so good with her! He was with her night and day. He fed her according to my instructions. She has very few teeth left. He has a sweet dog ,Memphis, who was very good with Buffy too. I would highly recommend Matt to take care of your pet!”
“Wendy & her family are great. This was our second time taking our dog to her and she had a great time & came back happy & tired out. We’ll definitely be using her again. Thanks Wendy!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have three dogs, all of whom I brought home at eight weeks old and personally raised and trained. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s a lifelong passion. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments, from Chihuahuas to Pit Bulls to Alaskan Malamutes and everything in between. Over the years, I have provided pet care for neighbors, friends, colleagues, and clients, and I understand the importance of treating every dog with patience, kindness, and individualized care. While working as a home health care aide, I was often entrusted with caring for my clients’ pets, ensuring they were fed, exercised, and comfortable while their owners received care. I also volunteered as a dog walker with the Humane Society of West Michigan, where I gained experience working with dogs of varying personalities, energy levels, and behavioral needs. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed feeding plans and dietary restrictions, and adapting to each dog’s unique routine. I am also certified in Dog and Cat First Aid and CPR, giving pet owners added peace of mind that their companions are in capable hands. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, active playtime, or simply spending time with someone who genuinely loves dogs, I am committed to providing safe, dependable, and compassionate care while you’re away. As a devoted dog owner of three, caring for animals is an integral part of my daily life, and I extend that same level of attention, responsibility, and affection to every pet in my care. I am fully comfortable handling all aspects of daily dog care, including feeding, walking, potty breaks, enrichment, and playtime. My flexible schedule allows me to be home for most of the day throughout the week, as well as on weekends, providing consistent supervision and companionship. I also have the option to work from home when additional attention or frequent potty breaks are needed. In my household, pets are rarely left alone for extended periods. On typical days when I am away from home, my dogs are alone no longer than 5–6 hours. In many cases, my boyfriend may be home when I am not, and when both of us are working, we are generally away for no more than 4–5 hours at a time. If both of us are expected to be away for longer than two hours during a pet’s care period, I communicate this in advance to ensure transparency and appropriate planning. I maintain a consistent but flexible routine that prioritizes feeding, hydration, exercise, and enrichment. Dogs always have access to fresh water and are fed twice daily (or as often as your individual dog requires). Potty breaks are provided frequently based on each dog’s individual needs and cues; however, I am more than willing to follow a more structured schedule if that is what your pet is accustomed to. I am also experienced with administering medications, including monthly heartworm and flea prevention, and take great care to ensure all medications are given accurately and on time. While my household follows a generally relaxed routine, I understand that many pets thrive on structure. I am fully comfortable adhering to detailed instructions and incorporating established routines into my daily care. During the days I am available according to my Rover schedule, I am home for the majority of the day. Any brief absences are typically limited to short appointments, during which my boyfriend may assist with supervision, or pets will be safely confined if appropriate. Above all, I prioritize safety, supervision, and communication. Your pet will never be left without attentive care. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure consistent supervision, engagement, and affection so that every animal feels secure, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their time with me. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I share my home with three friendly dogs, each with their own unique personality: an energetic and affectionate Boston Terrier, a more reserved but sweet Boston Terrier, and a laid-back Chihuahua who enjoys staying close by. They are well-socialized and can provide companionship for visiting dogs when appropriate. My home is set up to accommodate a variety of needs and routines. I have three individual crates with comfortable bedding available for dogs who are crate trained or require confinement, and you are always welcome to bring your own crate if it helps your pet feel more at home. While my own dogs enjoy free access to the house and are allowed on the furniture, I am happy to follow your pet’s established rules and routines, including using gates or designated areas if needed. Although my yard is not physically fenced, safety is always a top priority. My dogs are never outdoors unsupervised, and the same standard of care applies to every pet I watch. I have a large, open yard that provides plenty of space for exercise, and I regularly walk dogs on a leash around the property and in the neighborhood. If your dog is most comfortable on a leash or tie-out while outside, I am more than happy to accommodate those preferences. All of my dogs are current on their vaccinations and receive routine veterinary care. I pay close attention to changes in their health, behavior, and overall well-being, and I bring that same level of attentiveness to every pet in my care. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will treat both your home and your companion with the utmost respect. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, training, household rules, and daily routines to ensure your pet experiences as little disruption as possible while you are away. At bedtime, I am happy to follow whatever sleeping arrangement your pet is accustomed to, whether that means sleeping in a crate, on their own bed, or sharing a room with me. My goal is to maintain their normal routine so they feel secure and comfortable. My boyfriend and I live together, but I will be your pet’s primary caregiver. He may occasionally assist if I need to step away briefly, providing additional supervision and support, but all communication and primary care responsibilities remain with me. For added peace of mind, I am certified in Dog and Cat First Aid and CPR. You can trust that your pet will receive attentive, compassionate, and responsible care throughout their stay.
“Dan and Kelly are great! Communication about the stay was excellent and I appreciate their flexibility with drop off/pick up times. The daily pictures/videos are much appreciated as we miss our sweet boy while we’re gone. Booker had so much fun playing with the other pups and he came home happy and tired- a perfect stay!!”
“Rachel made me feel great leaving Oakley with her! Dog owner anxiety never leaves especially when you have to travel without them. She sent me plenty of updates and made sure to ease my mind before we left him! Thanks Rachel!!”
“Great communication, gave a good recap of how my dog did and paid attention to his anxiety and how he didn’t seem to tolerate the heat despite walking later in the day, and cut a walk short because she was concerned by his panting.”
“Great service. My dog returned home after a week stay with a big smile and a healthy appetite, and he slept hard after all that playing. I'm grateful for the peace of mind. Paige and Matthew sent regular updates and pictures to let me know my dog was having a great time while I was gone. Appreciate it 👍🏻”
“I am so happy we found Kristopher to watch our dog! We received daily updates and photos, and felt like she was very well cared for. Kristopher has a large property and fenced area, so she was able to run around outside as much as she wanted, had other dogs to play with, and a huge living space in the home that was dog friendly. We will not hesitate to use Kristopher’s services again, and are so thankful we now have a place she can be comfortable when we are unable to bring her with us. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our girl!!”
“Ru was amazing! She didn't hesitate to agree to board my three month old Frenchie, and was super accommodating about last minute changes when we had a huge snag in our trip. Thanks for everything!”
“We will always choose Caroline! She takes such good care of our baby and always keeps us updated with pictures and what our dog is doing while there! If you need anyone to watch your beloved animal, Caroline is your girl!”
“We were very happy with Tracy and her daughter taking care of our dog!! Our dog was so exhausted from playing and being spoiled she slept so much when we got home! Highly recommend Tracy!!”
About: I have decades of experience living and working with dogs and cats. I also have animal training experience. I enjoy meeting new animals and their people. I currently work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I am able to take frequent breaks to give animals care, attention and activity. I currently have a house with lots of space, with a big yard and 40 acres of walking trails to entertain your special fur baby.
“My dog is often fairly aloof with strangers. But he bonded with Felix immediately upon meeting him! The big fenced yard was certainly a plus too. Felix sent me messages and pictures daily so that I knew they were having fun together. My dog got to enjoy long walks each day with the freedom to explore all the new smells along the way. I didn't worry or feel guilty leaving my dog behind because I knew he was happy in Felix's care!”

“Sabrina did a wonderful job with my two cats!! She was very responsive to all of my texts and when above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“Allison took wonderful care of our cat, Walter. She made sure he had his wet food, spent time playing with him, and gave him lots of love and treats. When we got home, he seemed happy, relaxed, and very content, which gave us so much peace of mind. It's obvious that Allison genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and we're grateful to have found her. We're looking forward to having her continue checking in on Walter each week. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, dependable, and caring to look after their pets.”

About: Although I do not currently own any cats, I grew up in a home with them and have extensive hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages. My parents still have cats, giving me ongoing opportunities to help care for them whenever needed. I am dependable when it comes to feeding, playing, cleaning litter boxes, and providing companionship. Whether your cat enjoys active playtime, quiet cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I will make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I am also happy to accommodate any special care instructions or routines to help keep your cat happy and maintain the consistency they’re used to. From energetic kittens to senior cats, I understand that every cat has a unique personality and individual needs.

I appreciate any tips/tricks to give your animal the best experience possible.
“Heather was excellent and took care of our dog and cats while we were out of state for 10 days. She set up a meet and greet with us before hand and then stopped over to meet the pets and learn how to take care of them. She was great at communicating and sent us updates and photos each visit. We will absolutely contact Heather again when we need a pet sitter. Thank you Heather!”
About: I have had pets since I was very young, including dogs, cats, bunnies, rats, and fish. I currently live with my 2 year old golden retriever and 4 mini rex rabbits. I have had many friends and family rely on me for their pet care needs! I work in a public school so I generally have open availability during the summer months! I’m also available most weeknights and weekends year round! My apartment community has a pet park and I love to take long walks with my many four-legged friends! My dog is kennel trained, so I am experienced in this area as well and have kennels available.
About: I have taken care of a few puppies and helped them grow up, stay clean, stay fed and watered, and most importantly stayed entertained. A well entertained puppy/dog stays out of trouble. I currently don't have job so I can be available almost any time of the day. I tend to be a night owl so I can stay as late as need. Your pups will be taken out one at a time (if you have 2 or more), will be exercising and walked, I will follow your feeding schedule and amount per meal, and I am give meds if they are dosed beforehand.
“Shannon did a great job! She was reliable, prompt, and tidy! Responses were always immediate and no questions were left unanswered. The best part, though, was she actually captured a pic of herself petting our extremely shy and reclusive cat. Incredible! She really is a "cat whisperer"”
“We have an anxious dog, and leaving Bailey behind is always the hardest part of any trip. Lexx made it easy. She cared for Bailey like she was her own — offering the kind of comfort and patience that you just can’t fake. We came home to one happy, settled pup, and that says everything. Lexx is the real deal. I’d highly recommend her to anyone… as long as she’s available, because we’re officially calling dibs. 😄 Thank you, Lexx — truly. We’ll be back!”
About: I’ve taken care of so many cats over the years, including my own, I can’t even count! My family used to foster cats that struggled to find loving homes, whether they have a disability, bad behavior, health problems, shy, or were simply old aged, I always made sure they felt the love they deserved. I’m a very clean person, so I will definitely keep your home clean! I have prior experience in elderly cat care, kittens, bottle feeding, administration of medication, and cpr for any furry friend! I am a very honest, reliable, kind, and respectful person, and have such a soft heart when it comes to animals. I hope to be able to meet your fur baby!! :)

My husband and I believe this is a great opportunity to be able to love on all kinds of different breeds as our own and a fun way to take care of some of the most precious pets. That being said i will only accept crate trained dogs(for their safety) they need to be able to be crated safely while we are away for a short or longer amount of time. There are no cats or dogs here (unless confirmed by you that its okay to board at the same time as another families pet) so you won't have to worry about your pet getting along with anyone else while they are here. Be sure to check your collars and leashes of any wear and tears before dropping them off💛 tell me about your dog and we will see if it will be a good fit🧡

They will get lots of time outside with us.

About: I’m a Veterinarian Technician, so caring for pets is my true calling whether that be medical, physical, or emotional care. Being in Vet Med I have experienced caring for animals with various needs of all ages. I’ve have several pets growing up, and even now as an adult. I have been responsible for caring for multiple pets at a time and have a good grasp on how to manage a multi pet household. I love to pamper them and make them feel beautiful, clean, and loved. I can assure you that I’ll give your pet my full attention. I believe that every animal needs love and compassion, and I do my very best to give every animal 100% My schedule is focused all on taking care of your pet(s) right now. In my free time I enjoy crafting and disc golfing with the company of my 2 dogs. I unfortunately don’t offer boarding or daycare in my own home because I have my own pets that don’t particularly get along with other dogs.
About: I was in 4-h as a child showing dogs for 5+ years. I did everything from grooming my own animals to training them. I grew up around all sorts of animals and havent found one I didn't like! Am looking to mostly keep my schedule during school hours Monday through Friday and open most anytime on the weekends. I would be willing to work with people outside of those hours too. We have 2 big friendly dogs at the house with a large fenced in yard. I am a stay at home mom at the moment giving me good amount of time to play and walk with the animals.
“We love having Ava walk our lively Schnoodle. He needs his walk every day, and his humans are sometimes busy or not feeling well enough to take him. We really appreciate her! And it makes Kevin very happy!”
“Abigail has been so wonderful!! My mini poodle is 9 months old and he can be a handful at times, Abigail is very patient and kind to him. I was able to set up a repeating schedule to cover my work days. She is very dependable and understanding. It brings me a lot of peace of mind knowing he is in good care while I’m at work.”
About: I have had pets since I was very young, including dogs, cats, bunnies, rats, and fish. I currently live with my 2 year old golden retriever and 4 mini rex rabbits. I have had many friends and family rely on me for their pet care needs! I work in a public school so I generally have open availability during the summer months! I’m also available most weeknights and weekends year round! My apartment community has a pet park and I love to take long walks with my many four-legged friends! My dog is kennel trained, so I am experienced in this area as well and have kennels available.
About: Im a lifelong animal lover who finds so much joy in keeping pets entertained. I have experience with nail trimming, walking, and bathing. I have a flexible schedule for families that work and need pet care. I’m excited to take care of your fur babies, keep them safe, and bring you peace of mind. I currently work part-time as a line cook, since school is out for the summer. I will be attending college in the fall to pursue my dental hygiene degree. I am available Monday, Tuesday ,and Wednesday all day for same day booking or scheduled booking walking, sitting, and grooming. I make it my number one goal that all pets are safe and entertained, while in my care. I am diligent about making sure that doors/gates are latched and keeping a close on your pet at all times. I want to help keep your pet on their routine that makes them happiest. I’m happy to follow specific instruction in order to make your pet feel at home.
About: I have taken care of a few puppies and helped them grow up, stay clean, stay fed and watered, and most importantly stayed entertained. A well entertained puppy/dog stays out of trouble. I currently don't have job so I can be available almost any time of the day. I tend to be a night owl so I can stay as late as need. Your pups will be taken out one at a time (if you have 2 or more), will be exercising and walked, I will follow your feeding schedule and amount per meal, and I am give meds if they are dosed beforehand.
About: A few things that set me apart from other sitters you may see is that I am definitely an animal person.. I’ve had chickens, lizards, guinea pigs, you name it! I am excited to meet new furry friends and help out pet owners! My services include everything from pet sitting at your home, dog walking, and drop in visits/feedings/playtime. I have lots of experience with animals any size, age, or breed. Every pet deserves to feel special and loved, especially when their owners are away from home! A few special qualities I have are that I know CPR for cats and dogs, I can administrate any medication, I’m very reliable and will always answer any calls or texts asap, I have several years of experience in senior dogs, disabled pets, and puppies as we used to breed them! I’m just the girl you need:) Also I am definitely a very organized/clean person, and I can assure you that any mess your pets may make, I will make it look squeaky clean! I am a full time college student right now, but my calendar is updated correctly. Every Thursday pm-Sunday pm or even Monday am I am fully available:) I’m a huge baby when it comes to animals, bad habit of mine is spoiling them! I always make sure to give my animals their daily pills/vitamins, I wrap it in cheese but I have experience in several different ways to administrate medication. No matter the yard situation of a pet owners home, I try to get their pet(s) outside for at least 20 minutes a day, depending on the weather. Even if it’s a quick walk around the block, or playing fetch outside for a bit! Even if the pet does not want to exercise or play, I will always be down for a cuddle session with your fur baby!! Another thing is that I will always respect your privacy, and personal belongings as I come and go into your home and always lock the doors when I leave. I am extremely reliable and you can count on me to always answer my phone calls and texts asap!
About: I have experience providing both overnight pet care and daily drop-in/walk visits for dogs of many different breeds, sizes, and ages. I enjoy caring for animals and believe dogs thrive with consistent attention, daily exercise, and loving care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping pets company, I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I work in a school, so I currently have weekends available and I will have summer available to provide daily walks in a few weeks. Safety and fulfilling needs is my number one priority when I have a pet in my care. I will ensure that walks or visits are safe for your pet and that its needs are being met.
About: I've had pets in my household since I was born, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and fish. I also have animal shelter experience, and I've cared for extended familys' pets as well. I'm currently away at college, but I have two dogs of my own back home. I have some extra time outside of classes and a part time job and am looking to spend that extra time caring for someone's pets, as I miss my own. Depending on how your home is, I'm able to let your pets out for some time outside, give them some playtime, and can feed them if needed.
“Taylor was amazing! Yesterday was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous about my pup being home alone... Taylor called me at work (per my request) so that I could go over how to get into my house, etc. and she calmed my nerves too :) when she got there, he had tore up his mattress pad in his kennel- she cleaned it up so that he couldn’t eat it. She then walked him, took pictures for me and played with him enough to tire him out for a bit. She was so good with him anc it was so appreciated! ❤️❤️”

“Our one year old Golden Retriever, Henry, spent a weekend with Sabrina - it was his first experience staying with a dog sitter. She was great and put our mind at ease! Very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend. We will definitely book with her again. I think Henry had so much fun playing with the other dogs!”
“Emily and her family were so great with my dog. It's very nerve racking to leave your furry baby with unknown people but Emily made me feel at ease and my dog seemed to really love her family. She sent me lots of pictures and updates.”
“My Dog, Buffy, stayed with Matt for a week. She is 14 years old and she's a nervous girl. Matt was so good with her! He was with her night and day. He fed her according to my instructions. She has very few teeth left. He has a sweet dog ,Memphis, who was very good with Buffy too. I would highly recommend Matt to take care of your pet!”
“Wendy & her family are great. This was our second time taking our dog to her and she had a great time & came back happy & tired out. We’ll definitely be using her again. Thanks Wendy!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have three dogs, all of whom I brought home at eight weeks old and personally raised and trained. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s a lifelong passion. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments, from Chihuahuas to Pit Bulls to Alaskan Malamutes and everything in between. Over the years, I have provided pet care for neighbors, friends, colleagues, and clients, and I understand the importance of treating every dog with patience, kindness, and individualized care. While working as a home health care aide, I was often entrusted with caring for my clients’ pets, ensuring they were fed, exercised, and comfortable while their owners received care. I also volunteered as a dog walker with the Humane Society of West Michigan, where I gained experience working with dogs of varying personalities, energy levels, and behavioral needs. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed feeding plans and dietary restrictions, and adapting to each dog’s unique routine. I am also certified in Dog and Cat First Aid and CPR, giving pet owners added peace of mind that their companions are in capable hands. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, active playtime, or simply spending time with someone who genuinely loves dogs, I am committed to providing safe, dependable, and compassionate care while you’re away. As a devoted dog owner of three, caring for animals is an integral part of my daily life, and I extend that same level of attention, responsibility, and affection to every pet in my care. I am fully comfortable handling all aspects of daily dog care, including feeding, walking, potty breaks, enrichment, and playtime. My flexible schedule allows me to be home for most of the day throughout the week, as well as on weekends, providing consistent supervision and companionship. I also have the option to work from home when additional attention or frequent potty breaks are needed. In my household, pets are rarely left alone for extended periods. On typical days when I am away from home, my dogs are alone no longer than 5–6 hours. In many cases, my boyfriend may be home when I am not, and when both of us are working, we are generally away for no more than 4–5 hours at a time. If both of us are expected to be away for longer than two hours during a pet’s care period, I communicate this in advance to ensure transparency and appropriate planning. I maintain a consistent but flexible routine that prioritizes feeding, hydration, exercise, and enrichment. Dogs always have access to fresh water and are fed twice daily (or as often as your individual dog requires). Potty breaks are provided frequently based on each dog’s individual needs and cues; however, I am more than willing to follow a more structured schedule if that is what your pet is accustomed to. I am also experienced with administering medications, including monthly heartworm and flea prevention, and take great care to ensure all medications are given accurately and on time. While my household follows a generally relaxed routine, I understand that many pets thrive on structure. I am fully comfortable adhering to detailed instructions and incorporating established routines into my daily care. During the days I am available according to my Rover schedule, I am home for the majority of the day. Any brief absences are typically limited to short appointments, during which my boyfriend may assist with supervision, or pets will be safely confined if appropriate. Above all, I prioritize safety, supervision, and communication. Your pet will never be left without attentive care. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure consistent supervision, engagement, and affection so that every animal feels secure, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their time with me. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I share my home with three friendly dogs, each with their own unique personality: an energetic and affectionate Boston Terrier, a more reserved but sweet Boston Terrier, and a laid-back Chihuahua who enjoys staying close by. They are well-socialized and can provide companionship for visiting dogs when appropriate. My home is set up to accommodate a variety of needs and routines. I have three individual crates with comfortable bedding available for dogs who are crate trained or require confinement, and you are always welcome to bring your own crate if it helps your pet feel more at home. While my own dogs enjoy free access to the house and are allowed on the furniture, I am happy to follow your pet’s established rules and routines, including using gates or designated areas if needed. Although my yard is not physically fenced, safety is always a top priority. My dogs are never outdoors unsupervised, and the same standard of care applies to every pet I watch. I have a large, open yard that provides plenty of space for exercise, and I regularly walk dogs on a leash around the property and in the neighborhood. If your dog is most comfortable on a leash or tie-out while outside, I am more than happy to accommodate those preferences. All of my dogs are current on their vaccinations and receive routine veterinary care. I pay close attention to changes in their health, behavior, and overall well-being, and I bring that same level of attentiveness to every pet in my care. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will treat both your home and your companion with the utmost respect. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, training, household rules, and daily routines to ensure your pet experiences as little disruption as possible while you are away. At bedtime, I am happy to follow whatever sleeping arrangement your pet is accustomed to, whether that means sleeping in a crate, on their own bed, or sharing a room with me. My goal is to maintain their normal routine so they feel secure and comfortable. My boyfriend and I live together, but I will be your pet’s primary caregiver. He may occasionally assist if I need to step away briefly, providing additional supervision and support, but all communication and primary care responsibilities remain with me. For added peace of mind, I am certified in Dog and Cat First Aid and CPR. You can trust that your pet will receive attentive, compassionate, and responsible care throughout their stay.
“Dan and Kelly are great! Communication about the stay was excellent and I appreciate their flexibility with drop off/pick up times. The daily pictures/videos are much appreciated as we miss our sweet boy while we’re gone. Booker had so much fun playing with the other pups and he came home happy and tired- a perfect stay!!”
“Rachel made me feel great leaving Oakley with her! Dog owner anxiety never leaves especially when you have to travel without them. She sent me plenty of updates and made sure to ease my mind before we left him! Thanks Rachel!!”
“Great communication, gave a good recap of how my dog did and paid attention to his anxiety and how he didn’t seem to tolerate the heat despite walking later in the day, and cut a walk short because she was concerned by his panting.”
“Great service. My dog returned home after a week stay with a big smile and a healthy appetite, and he slept hard after all that playing. I'm grateful for the peace of mind. Paige and Matthew sent regular updates and pictures to let me know my dog was having a great time while I was gone. Appreciate it 👍🏻”
“I am so happy we found Kristopher to watch our dog! We received daily updates and photos, and felt like she was very well cared for. Kristopher has a large property and fenced area, so she was able to run around outside as much as she wanted, had other dogs to play with, and a huge living space in the home that was dog friendly. We will not hesitate to use Kristopher’s services again, and are so thankful we now have a place she can be comfortable when we are unable to bring her with us. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our girl!!”
“We will always choose Caroline! She takes such good care of our baby and always keeps us updated with pictures and what our dog is doing while there! If you need anyone to watch your beloved animal, Caroline is your girl!”
“We were very happy with Tracy and her daughter taking care of our dog!! Our dog was so exhausted from playing and being spoiled she slept so much when we got home! Highly recommend Tracy!!”
About: I have decades of experience living and working with dogs and cats. I also have animal training experience. I enjoy meeting new animals and their people. I currently work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I am able to take frequent breaks to give animals care, attention and activity. I currently have a house with lots of space, with a big yard and 40 acres of walking trails to entertain your special fur baby.
“My dog is often fairly aloof with strangers. But he bonded with Felix immediately upon meeting him! The big fenced yard was certainly a plus too. Felix sent me messages and pictures daily so that I knew they were having fun together. My dog got to enjoy long walks each day with the freedom to explore all the new smells along the way. I didn't worry or feel guilty leaving my dog behind because I knew he was happy in Felix's care!”
“Renee was able to board our 2 bulldogs over the 4th holiday on short notice and we are so grateful! She has a fenced backyard, works from home and was able to spend quality time with them so they weren't lonely. They had such big smiles on their faces the whole time. Will definitely come back on our next trip!”
“Soly went above and beyond in taking excellent care of my dog! He provided thorough daily updates with pictures and videos. It was clear that Honey was happy and comfortable in his care. Looking forward to booking with Soly again and highly recommend to others!”
