“Beth did a great job caring for Finley. He came home happy and exhausted! He enjoyed the freedom of her fenced in yard and also snuggles with Beth. He made new friends in the other dogs Beth was caring for, and Beth did a great job making sure they all got along well. Beth was flexible and communicated well both before and during Finley's stay. We would definitely have Finley stay with Beth again in the future!”
“Leia loved staying with Pamela! Pamela was excellent at communication before the stay and during, sending daily pictures and updates. She had a warm and inviting home and you could feel her love and care for dogs. She even sent Leia home with some homemade dog treats! We will definitely book her for future stays!”
“Frances and her family took such great care of our puppy while they had him for the weekend. We had never left him with anyone besides family before, so the text/photo updates really eased our anxiety about leaving him. I would definitely recommend Frances for anyone needing a dog-sitter!”
“Jacob and his family did a great job watching Freya! She was a bit more anxious than usual cause we had been traveling a lot, and they did a great job making sure she was comfortable and taken care of. You can tell that it's a dog loving family, and Jacob is really putting in the effort. Katherine's daily updates were also much appreciated. Highly recommend!”
“Daina & Samuel treated our pups so kindly! They gave them daily walks and plenty of playtime! My babies came back very happy. I am so thankful for Daina & Sam's love for animals as they are very patient, understanding and loving!”
“Terry and his wife were excellent, they have the cutest house and a very big backyard for dogs to play or walk around. Tita (my dog) enjoyed her time with them, she seem so happy to be there when I picked her up. Thank you so much for giving her so much love. I will definitely rebook with them again.”
“When we found ourselves in a pickle, we turned to Rover to find a trustworthy, dog educated person to watch our female GSD Stiorra. Not only were we searching last minute but we needed someone who was comfortable and had experience with females in heat. Ofcourse our girl would go into heat when we have nonrefundable tickets. Haha! I put our situation out to a couple different sitters on Rover. Kaylee was the first to respond and had such enthusiasm that I knew she was our person! She assured me that she had experience with females in heat and with doggy diapers. We did a meet and greet and the rest is history! Stiorra had a blast. Kaylee treated her as if she was her own. And Stiorra found a new friend in Oliver the great dane. I can't express how thankful I am to have found Kaylee. We look forward to having her watch Stiorra again!”
“Anne was great with Murphy! He stayed for a week and I received picture and status updates daily. Murphy was well taken care of and he loved playing with their dog as well. I would definitely request Anne to watch Murphy anytime we needed a sitter. She is highly recommended!”
“Christoper was fantastic with our two dogs. We use rover regularly and he has been one of the best so far. We had to book last minute for a trip to GA and he was nothing but helpful. We got regular updates and felt like the dogs were in great hands while we were miles away. They came back to us happy and in probably in better shape than when we left them. Highly recommend Christopher and his kids.”
“I had such a great experience with Sylvia! She was very attentive, kept me updated with pictures and videos, and was flexible with timing. She even took my dog to the beach and went above and beyond to make sure she was happy and well cared for. My pup came home clean, loved, and spoiled. She was so sweet to my dog, and I’ll definitely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog Charlie loves this family!! They treat him like one of their own and give him the best care we could possibly ask for. We will use them time and time again! :)”
“I am completely at ease when we leave our german shorthair pointer with this family. We get plenty of updates and it looks like Daisy gets plenty of playtime with their pet and plenty of attention from the humans. The second time we brought her there she ran right up to the house like she remembered the good memories she made there the last time.”
“Micheal & his family were wonderful to Ripley! He was kept busy and given lots of love; Ripley’s Velcro personality was satisfied. Will be using Michael again - great care giver.”
About: I have pet sit, walked, ran, leash trained, and mentally stimulated dogs of all breeds since a kid. Each dog needs all of these things in different ways and I am here to figure that out to insure your pup and you get the best from me. I used to be under the LLC Dogs On the Run Grand Rapids, but life (two children, moving to Holland etc) put that on hold. I am now so excited to start giving Hollands furry family members what they need! I would love to meet you and work with you and your dog to give them the energy and visit or stay that they need! I have ran and walked dogs no matter the weather. Visits and Stays will come with pictures, arrival and departure time, a map of where we walked/ran, and any notes of our adventure! Send me a message and lets talk about your furry friend today! I am currently working, but that can be worked around your schedule and your pets needs. I am always willing to find the best scenario and schedule! For those going on walks and runs, we will work with what you use and what works best for your dog. All dogs are different. Also, what you want from your dog is different as well. If they need some leash training we can do that as well. My car is dog friendly, so if ball at the park is what they need, or a swim, I am down for that as well! Variety is the spice of life! For stays, I do have a dog of my own who is completely pet friendly, so of course our home is too! Any questions, Ask away :)
“Finley had a great time with Kristin and Dan and their daughter! He got lots of love and snuggles and seemed very comfortable in their home. We appreciated the pictures and the great communication, and we will definitely have Finley stay with them again in the future!”
“Derek did a great job taking care of my dogs while I was out of town. He kept me updated with a couple of pictures, which was really appreciated, and I came home to happy, well-cared-for pups”
“Kristina was perfect! She responds very quickly and made sure Ellie felt right at home. Ellie got along great with her dogs and had the best time for the whole week. I would book again!”
“Jenn was great! I had a little emergency and She was able to board Ella the same night that I requested. She sent me pictures of Ella both days. Ella seemed happy when I picked her up. I would definitely board Ella with her again.”
“Ohara and her family took great care of our baby dog! He was so happy and content all the time in the pictures. We are very thankful for the love and care you gave Levi and would come back again. Thank you!”

“Crystal was great to have house sitting for us! I knew our cats were happy to have the company and it gave us great peace of mind to know our home was being looked after while we were gone.”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover that is patient and nurturing to pets. I grew up with both dogs and cats. For years I have been a reliable and trustworthy person among family, friends, and neighbors. I have extensive experience checking in on pets and playing with them throughout the day, dog walking, and overnight pet/house sitting for a variety of cat and dog breeds. I also have experience administering medication to pets if needed. For example, one dog I’ve watched many times had a case of kennel cough/pneumonia and/or ear infection that required daily antibiotics and ear drops. I am extremely passionate about pets and giving them the best care possible to ensure they remain healthy, active, and happy. I take pride in providing excellent care and peace of mind for pet owners. I also like to take photos of the pets each day or so to send to their owners to keep them updated and ensure their well-being.
“Allison was a great sitter and friend for Smitty for the three weeks we were out of town. There were many visits involved over this time period and Allison did a good job communicating with us about Smitty's various walks and play-times, what kind of mood he was in, whether he drank some water after play-time, and other info. She really cares about Smitty and enjoys the work. We highly recommend Allison!”
“Madison was a wonderful cat and house sitter. Cats were happy and well taken care of and the house was very clean. Also, Madison last minute booking was very helpful and her communication is easy and timely.”
“Beth was super loving and caring for my kittycat 😺 This was her first time with a cat, and she did great! Communication was ever present with pics to help me feel at ease😊”
About: I have taken care of cats along side dogs when owning my dog walking and pet sitting business. My husbands family has always owned kittens and cats and my boys have grown to love them as well, so I have learned a lot and seem to have a special place in my heart for them.
“Emily was wonderful to work with and took great care of my cat while we were away. She made sure to send pictures frequently and was great with communication and updates. She played with our cat well and made sure that she got attention during visits. I would recommend!”
“Emily is able to check in on my pet on both Christmas eve and the day of Christmas, and was very flexible on time. She takes instructions very responsibly and was great with my skittish cat.”

About: I am happy to care for any pet. Whether your cat is anxious, an escape artist, or the chillest ever, my standard of care will have them feeling right at home and loved like family. I tailor my approach to each pet's unique personality making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Staying calm in any situation is my superpower, so rest assured I'll always be at the top of my game. I love to make a genuine connection with every pet and owner I meet--so let's chat!
About: I currently work the doggy day camp at Petsmart. I have worked with the Humane Animal Treatment society and Bronston Animal Shelter with socialization and training. I had dogs growing up and trained them and cared for them. I have even walked dogs for the people around my neighborhood. Also, I have a dog of my own. I do have a puppy that is 4 years old, but he is very friendly. I live near a park so the dogs can run/play and I know my puppy would love to join if allowed. I’m currently looking for a job, so I have plenty of time to spend with your furry friend. I am available any time of the day. I keep my puppy on a strict schedule. Lots of time to play, go for walks, and training times. I feed him around 9:30 am and 7 pm

“Samantha has completely exceeded our expectations and has been so wonderful to our puppy! She watched Felix every day for us this week and has been beyond helpful/flexible and amazing with our work schedules. She keeps me well informed and updated throughout the day and sends the CUTEST photos. So cute I’m going to have to get some of them framed. I know he’s been walked and has had sufficient play time just by how tired he is when coming home. With him being a puppy, he chews and gets into things he isn’t supposed to. I can tell from Samantha’s updates that she is patient and works with him on behavioral issues. We feel so fortunate to have found Samantha and are excited to take Felix back next week!”
“I had a last minute trip to Grand Rapids for work and spent time looking for the perfect fit to watch my 7 mo old puppy during the day. Once I came across Anne’s profile, I’d hoped for a good experience and let me tell you, Anne and her family were absolutely amazing! They were super attentive to my pup — taking him for walks, allowing him to play with their animals, and maintaining structure for him by encouraging rest time, and correcting his behavior. Every time I came to pick him up, he was so sad to leave and he was super excited to be back at their house each time I dropped him off! I can’t sing their praises enough, it means the world to me that they helped me in a pinch and that they did an exceptional job! Any time I return to the area, Anne will be my go-to everytime!”
“Emily has been awesome with our new Samoyed puppy! She is very easy to communicate with and quick to respond. She keeps us updated throughout the day which has made us feel very comfortable.”
“I was really nervous about leaving Chino with a non family member for the first time but Lauryn was so great about keeping me updated and sending pictures! I was very happy with her and would recommend her again :)”
“Mac totally enjoyed a spa day with Londa and family. He played ball in a spacious yard and lounged on their pool deck while the family enjoyed their time by the pool. The family dog seemed very relaxed and had no issues with Mac being in his space. Upon arriving home he was very content to snooze and slept soundly through the night. Good day for all!”
About: Dogs to me are family. I grew up with dogs my whole life. I got my first dog Lacey when I was 6 and recently had to put her down. She is my motivation to take care of and spoil all dogs while they are with us. Plus, I've always had a passion for animals! I have new member berkley the golden retriever. I promise to be flexible, dependable, caring, comforting, and understanding. I believe dogs can sense who we are, so bonding is important to me. I am willing to walk your dog, play fetch, cuddle, let out for potty breaks, feeding, give meds, or anything else you desire for you pet. I hope to provide the care you're looking for! - Lindsey vanschepen I am a stay at home mom who is incredibly flexible! My son and I love pets of any kind. We would love to spend time with your family pet ♥️ Make sure each pets basic needs are constantly met and go beyond that by making them feel comfortable and happy! Giving extra attention and care whenever where it is needed!
About: My husband gifted me with Raphael, my beloved English Cream Retriever, five years ago on my 50th birthday. Since then, dogs have been my focus and passion. They're unconditional love is a precious gift, and I adore taking care of them. I also love to make homemade dog food & treats for my clients. I work part-time from home. I set my schedule, so it's easy to break away for doggie walks, love, & play. We live close to the beach and trails so we stay active and enjoy being outside no matter the weather. We have a large fenced-in yard in a quiet, country setting close to Saugatuck, with tons of wooded trails nearby for walking your pup if needed.
“We were in town for a family reunion and needed to have Beignet & Brie cared for. So fortunate to have Terry care for our babies. They loved being there. They were happy and content and felt right at home with him immediately. Such a warm and welcoming environment. Thank you Terry!”

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. Our family has always had a dog and we couldn't imagine our life without them! I have also cared for our family, friends and neighbors dogs. I am a stay at home mom which gives me plenty of time to care for dogs! We are home most weekends and are available for boarding. We have a large yard, not fenced but we take a lot of walks and have stakes in the backyard for the dogs to play outside.
About: I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood and enjoy a peaceful home environment. I work, stay active in my church, and love winding down with a good book or movie. I’m down-to-earth and will treat your dog like family. My daughter, who’s now abroad, used to dog sit and encouraged me to try it myself—knowing how much I love dogs, even though I’m not ready to have one full-time. I often helped her with dog sitting before she left, and truly enjoyed the companionship. It would be a blessing to care for your pet and offer you peace of mind. I’m flexible, reliable, and would have a great time making sure your dog feels safe and loved. I work hybrid, which means your pet will have plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I love taking regular breaks to go on walks, give belly rubs, or just relax with a furry friend nearby. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate feeding routines, bathroom breaks, and any special care your pet may need. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space for your dog to relax comfortably. While I don’t have a backyard, I take regular walks in safe, green areas nearby and always supervise outdoor time. I follow your care instructions closely, including feeding, medications, and routines, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos. Whether in my home or yours, I provide calm, attentive care to help your pet feel secure and loved.
About: Family and friends always ask my availability when they need a dog sitter before going anywhere else. They have also nicknamed me the dog-whisperer after dogs seem to welcome me very quickly. I've already gone on lots of walks/runs with another dog walking service, so I know how to love on your dog, properly fasten a leash, and understand how to console your dog if a vicious bicyclist happens to terrorize the neighborhood. I've yet to find a dog that I haven't enjoyed hanging out with, although Huskies have always been my favorite. I've been able to help train my family's dogs, some with more persistent, but still an overall success. A fun fact about me is I used to go out of my way to collect all the Beanie Baby dogs, and I still have that collection to this day.
About: I have grown up with animals my whole life! I absolutely love teaching them tricks, playtime and daily exercise. Quality care to keep happy pets! I have ton of free time to check up and play with your furry companions! I pick up what I can when I’m not working! :) I work hard to make sure your pets comfort and care comes first. Prioritizing their safety while having fun! And always treating pets like family!
About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs and cats has always been a part of my life—not just a job. I’ve grown up around pets and truly see them as family members, so I understand how important it is that they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals. I also have hands-on experience from working at a dog kennel during high school, where I learned the importance of routine, cleanliness, and recognizing different pet personalities and needs. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy cat, or a senior pet who needs extra care and gentleness, I’m committed to making every pet’s time with me happy and stress-free. Pet care fits very well into my daily and weekly routine. I’m currently working at a doggie daycare, I mostly work in the afternoon. My schedule can be flexible but for the most part I have work from 12-6:30 in the afternoon. I enjoy structuring my days around feeding times, walks, play, and companionship so pets receive consistent attention. Ideally, I’m looking to do pet care part-time, which means I can be reliable, present, and attentive when pets need me rather than rushing through visits. I care for pets by closely following the owner’s instructions and routines to ensure consistency and comfort. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets receive plenty of love, patience, and compassionate attention. I focus on meeting each pet’s individual needs—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and quiet time—while making them feel safe and cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always aim to create a calm, positive environment.
About: I have two Cavalier King Charles Spaniel’s and am a huge animal lover! I spoil my boys rotten and would do the same to your fur babies. I love playing fetch with the pups and taking them on walks! I can also take care of your cat or check in on your home if needed. I have over 20 years of petcare experience and you would never have to worry when leaving your pet in my care. I would be happy to help make your time away more pleasant by knowing your beloved pet is being taken care of very well! Meet my pets Milo and Cooper which are my two dogs and my Persian cat is named Myka. Let me know if you have any questions and I will be happy to assist with your pets needs! I am currently a stay at home mom and my daughter goes to school so I have decided to take on taking care of animals while she is away! At this time I am only doing drop in visits at your home due to my dogs still being pups and my cat being 20 and starting to have dementia. She doesn’t handle new house guests well anymore.
About: I have been handling dogs, cats, various other mammals (hamsters, guinea pigs), fish, and reptiles since I was a child. I have a passion for animals and will give your pets all the love and care they need. I understand what it’s like to be a pet parent and I know leaving your babies can be scary. I promise to treat them and love on them just like you would. My availability is generally open as pet sitting is my only job. I offer house sitting, drop in visits, dog walking, and bathing/grooming. I can administer meds as well if that is what your pets need and have experience doing so. If you are interested in my services or have any questions please don’t hesitate to message me. Also feel free to check out my reviews as I believe they speak loudly about what I have to offer. Thank you for checking out my profile and God bless.

About: I’ve had animals all my life and hold a special place in my heart for them all! My family has rescued dogs small and large as well as a cat. I’m am currently graduating in May and will be pursing a masters online with that being said I have a lot of flexibility to work with you and your fur baby :) With experiance my own pups I will care for them as if they were my own.

About: Hi! I'm a recent Hope graduate & Assistant Manager of the Holland Cat Cove. Offering discounted rates as I begin this partnership with Rover! I am happy to care for any pet. Whether your pup is anxious, an escape artist, or the chillest ever, my standard of care will have them feeling right at home and loved like family. I tailor my approach to each pet's unique personality making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away.

I always remain attentful of pets individual needs to make sure they're safe, comfortable, and happy.

Please let me know if you have any specific concerns with your pet's wellbeing while you're away. I want you to rest easy and feel reassured that your pet is receiving the highest level of care.
“Jessica was AMAZING!! Our Morrison had some great walks and snuggle time with her, and raved to us about how great she was. We will definitely reach out to her for our future needs with walks and stays. Thank you so so much for all the updates and pictures, can’t tell you how much we appreciate it ?”
“Mike was a terrific walker for my brother’s headstrong 8.5yo Kate while brother was recovering from knee surgery. He bonded well with the dog, handled and disciplined her appropriately and was easy for us to work with. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs my entire life, with hands-on experience supporting pets through all life stages and needs. Whether your pet requires medication management, specialized diet adherence, mobility assistance, or extra patience due to age or disability, I approach each animal as an individual deserving attentive, compassionate care. I don’t just follow instructions, I notice subtle changes in behavior, anticipate needs, and communicate proactively with owners so you have complete peace of mind while you’re away. I am currently working part time as a painter, part time with Rover, and volunteering for Harbor Humane, but worry not. I can make my schedule completely open for any pet care needs. I will rarely be unavailable. I prioritize your pet’s routine and comfort above all. Whether that means leash walks through your neighborhood, supervised backyard play in their familiar space, or respecting crating schedules you’ve established, I adapt to what works for your pet, not what’s easiest for me. I ensure fresh water is always available, meals are served on time, and any special instructions (door security, alarm codes, plant watering) are followed exactly. Beyond the basics, I make time for real connection like belly rubs, play sessions, or just calm companionship for anxious pets. You’ll come home to a pet who felt cared for, not just looked after.
“I was out of town for a week and Sarah really went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were taken care of! She took them on daily walks and spent time with them at the dog park, and kept me well informed on how they were doing. I would definitely recommend Sarah to watch your fur babies!”
About: I have grown up with animals all of my life. With busy working parents, I was often the one doing most of the animal care. I grew up with 2 large German Shepherds and 2 cats, so I am familiar with handling large breeds and taking care of multiple animals at once. I am a huge animal lover and have always been a natural pet caregiver. The well-being of animals is my top priority. I am currently working full-time; however, I work from home once a week and can be flexible on which day that is. I am also completely available on the weekends. The beautiful Detroit River Walk is right by my apartment, where I would take lovely long walks with pets. Additionally, my favorite pastime is cuddling with furry friends on the couch!
About: My name is Emily and I absolutely love all furry friends! I used to have a rescue dog which was a papillon but sadly she became sick. :( I have also rescued a cat that we owned for couple months before finding him a forever home! I miss having a dog or pet around and would love to help care for your furry family member! I am a teacher so I am fairly open during the summer and still available on the weekends during the school year and some afternoons/evenings. Our family can still board your pup on Tuesdays-Thursdays but they would just have to go longer stretches before a walk on those days. I do have two sons who are 7 and 4 so I do ask that your pet be good with kids. They both absolutely love animals. The only breeds we are not comfortable with are pit bulls, boxers and Rottweilers. I am a very active person and love taking love walks and runs outside. Our family is not in a place to own a pet permanently right now, so we love taking care of other animals! Our yard is not fenced in but we provide multiple walks a day for your pup! We have had great success with this with our other dogs.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a young girl, about 20 years now! I’m honored to meet new animals and gain their trust, showing them love, kindness, and fun! Animals really are so important to me, I’m a devout vegetarian and animal-advocate, with hopes to open a no-kill rescue in the future for all types of animals. I am a graduate student who works part time from home. My weekly routine is flexible and ready to fit your needs! Whatever works for you! I’ll care for your pet like my own. I go on long walks, know how to train dogs, and can take care of special needs.

“Beth did a great job caring for Finley. He came home happy and exhausted! He enjoyed the freedom of her fenced in yard and also snuggles with Beth.

We would definitely have Finley stay with Beth again in the future!”

“Frances and her family took such great care of our puppy while they had him for the weekend. We had never left him with anyone besides family before, so the text/photo updates really eased our anxiety about leaving him. I would definitely recommend Frances for anyone needing a dog-sitter!”
“Jacob and his family did a great job watching Freya! She was a bit more anxious than usual cause we had been traveling a lot, and they did a great job making sure she was comfortable and taken care of. You can tell that it's a dog loving family, and Jacob is really putting in the effort. Katherine's daily updates were also much appreciated. Highly recommend!”
“Daina & Samuel treated our pups so kindly! They gave them daily walks and plenty of playtime! My babies came back very happy. I am so thankful for Daina & Sam's love for animals as they are very patient, understanding and loving!”
“When we found ourselves in a pickle, we turned to Rover to find a trustworthy, dog educated person to watch our female GSD Stiorra. Not only were we searching last minute but we needed someone who was comfortable and had experience with females in heat. Ofcourse our girl would go into heat when we have nonrefundable tickets. Haha! I put our situation out to a couple different sitters on Rover. Kaylee was the first to respond and had such enthusiasm that I knew she was our person! She assured me that she had experience with females in heat and with doggy diapers. We did a meet and greet and the rest is history! Stiorra had a blast. Kaylee treated her as if she was her own. And Stiorra found a new friend in Oliver the great dane. I can't express how thankful I am to have found Kaylee. We look forward to having her watch Stiorra again!”
“Anne was great with Murphy! He stayed for a week and I received picture and status updates daily. Murphy was well taken care of and he loved playing with their dog as well. I would definitely request Anne to watch Murphy anytime we needed a sitter. She is highly recommended!”
“Christoper was fantastic with our two dogs. We use rover regularly and he has been one of the best so far. We had to book last minute for a trip to GA and he was nothing but helpful. We got regular updates and felt like the dogs were in great hands while we were miles away. They came back to us happy and in probably in better shape than when we left them. Highly recommend Christopher and his kids.”
“I had such a great experience with Sylvia! She was very attentive, kept me updated with pictures and videos, and was flexible with timing. She even took my dog to the beach and went above and beyond to make sure she was happy and well cared for. My pup came home clean, loved, and spoiled. She was so sweet to my dog, and I’ll definitely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog Charlie loves this family!! They treat him like one of their own and give him the best care we could possibly ask for. We will use them time and time again! :)”
“I am completely at ease when we leave our german shorthair pointer with this family. We get plenty of updates and it looks like Daisy gets plenty of playtime with their pet and plenty of attention from the humans. The second time we brought her there she ran right up to the house like she remembered the good memories she made there the last time.”
“Micheal & his family were wonderful to Ripley! He was kept busy and given lots of love; Ripley’s Velcro personality was satisfied. Will be using Michael again - great care giver.”
About: I have pet sit, walked, ran, leash trained, and mentally stimulated dogs of all breeds since a kid. Each dog needs all of these things in different ways and I am here to figure that out to insure your pup and you get the best from me. I used to be under the LLC Dogs On the Run Grand Rapids, but life (two children, moving to Holland etc) put that on hold. I am now so excited to start giving Hollands furry family members what they need! I would love to meet you and work with you and your dog to give them the energy and visit or stay that they need! I have ran and walked dogs no matter the weather. Visits and Stays will come with pictures, arrival and departure time, a map of where we walked/ran, and any notes of our adventure! Send me a message and lets talk about your furry friend today! I am currently working, but that can be worked around your schedule and your pets needs. I am always willing to find the best scenario and schedule! For those going on walks and runs, we will work with what you use and what works best for your dog. All dogs are different. Also, what you want from your dog is different as well. If they need some leash training we can do that as well. My car is dog friendly, so if ball at the park is what they need, or a swim, I am down for that as well! Variety is the spice of life! For stays, I do have a dog of my own who is completely pet friendly, so of course our home is too! Any questions, Ask away :)
“Finley had a great time with Kristin and Dan and their daughter! He got lots of love and snuggles and seemed very comfortable in their home. We appreciated the pictures and the great communication, and we will definitely have Finley stay with them again in the future!”
“Derek did a great job taking care of my dogs while I was out of town. He kept me updated with a couple of pictures, which was really appreciated, and I came home to happy, well-cared-for pups”
“Kristina was perfect! She responds very quickly and made sure Ellie felt right at home. Ellie got along great with her dogs and had the best time for the whole week. I would book again!”
“Ohara and her family took great care of our baby dog! He was so happy and content all the time in the pictures. We are very thankful for the love and care you gave Levi and would come back again. Thank you!”
“Franny had the BEST time. Kailee and her kids were so incredibly sweet with our puppy, and they were so welcoming and accommodating to her young puppy needs. 10/10 recommend! Franny absolutely loved their huge backyard too.”
About: I’ve cared for, trained, and loved animals for 40+ years and would be happy to care for yours while you are away. I know how important check ins are so you can be sure your fur baby is well & happy! I work from home most days so my schedule is flexible and allows me to be home with your fur baby! My home is comfortable and pet friendly and if they are sun seekers I have a great deck for them to lounge on. I have a fenced in back yard with room to roam and live in a safe cul-de-sac neighborhood perfect for dog walking! Couches are not off limits in my house 😊
