Personalized care for your dog or cat - Port Huron
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Port Huron
“OMGGGGG! I’m new to having pets. My daughter had an OFSAA tournament in Sarnia. We know no one in Sarnia. It was my first time using Rover. Angie responded quickly. Her rate and reviews are GREAT! She kept our minds at ease by sending pics, videos, notes throughout the day. She made the cutest posts. It was our first time away from Toby. There was a lot of anxiety but Angie put us at ease. She has a park next to her home to walk Toby. Not only is Angie great…but so is her family! So welcoming and friendly and kind. I know where to go if I’m back in Sarnia. Angie is 100% dependable kind and patient and just loves animals! 100% recommend Angie!”
“Kym kept me updated of how my pet was doing through texts and pictures while I was out of town and she took really great care of my pet which put me at ease knowing my dog was safe and well cared for.”
“Melissa took wonderful care of our fur babies! It was a short stay but Chocolate Chip and Remy had so much fun with her dog Willow and the other border, Chase. Little Remy really bonded with Melissa and ended up sleeping with her. He’s a picky eater and Melissa was so kind to hand feed him! Would definitely board our pups with her again.”
“Madison and Brandon were amazing dog sitters for Teddy. They were very patient and worked with him to get to know their three dogs. Very responsive and attentive to Teddy.”
“I am very happy with the care my two dogs received while staying with Jemily and her family. It was so nice receiving videos and pictures throughout their stay so I could feel confident that they were having a great time and were being well taken care of! I highly recommend her if you are needing someone to care for your pets.”
“Jessica and Ben do such a good job watching our dog! She is so flexible with scheduling and always sends us pictures at least once a day to keep us updated! Cannot recommend them enough!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and have always had a special love for them. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities — from playful puppies full of energy to senior dogs who need extra patience and calm. I’m known for being responsible, attentive, and caring. I always follow each family’s routines, provide enjoyable walks, and make sure every pet feels safe and happy, just like at home. My priority is to create an environment of trust, love, and well-being. I strive to make every dog enjoy their time with me and keep open communication with owners, so they can feel confident knowing their furry friend is in good hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to adapt easily to each pet’s needs, giving them quality time, walks, play, and personalized attention. I truly enjoy spending time with animals—they bring me peace and happiness. I always strive to create a calm and loving environment where every pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy while in my care. The safety and comfort of every pet are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or at the owner’s home, I make sure they are in a calm, clean, and secure environment. I take time to understand each pet’s routine and personality to help them feel comfortable and keep their day as normal as possible. I’m careful with doors, leashes, and feeding schedules, and I always supervise outdoor time to ensure their well being. My goal is to create a peaceful and loving atmosphere where every pet feels cared for, respected, and happy while their owners are away.
“Amber made pick up and drop off quick and easy. She provided updates and photos/videos during our stay and accommodated us when we were running late. Would use her services again.”
About: Hey, I’m Jeremy! An animal lover, outdoor enthusiast, and long-time pet caregiver. I’ve been walking dogs since I was 12 and have experience with both cats and dogs since before I can remember. I currently have a cat who I’ve cared for over the past three years, and before moving out on my own, I helped take care of our family’s pets, including three wonderful dogs over the years. I was involved in all parts of their care: daily walks, playtime, feeding, and of course, the less glamorous tasks like picking up after them. I'm patient, dependable, and always aim to make animals feel safe and loved. When I’m not spending time with animals, I work full-time in administration and graphic design at a funeral home. I’m also an officer in the Canadian Armed Forces, working with the Cadet Program. I work with youth aged 12 to 18 at the Sarnia Army Cadets, helping them build confidence, leadership, teamwork, and outdoor survival skills in a structured, military environment. I offer dog walking, play dates, house and pet sitting, and pet sitting in my own home. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel happy, relaxed, and cared for. I’m also a photographer — so don’t be surprised if you get a few great shots of your furry friend during our time together! Whether it’s keeping your dog active or making sure your cat feels at home, I treat every pet like family. I can't wait to meet my new fur friend! I work full-time on a 3-week rotating schedule, but I always know my availability in advance. My weekends rotate like this: one weekend I work, the next is a long weekend (Friday to Monday off), and the third is a regular Saturday–Sunday off. I usually have one weekday off as well, which I can use for walks or pet visits. Most days, I’m also able to pop by during my lunch break—usually between 1:30 and 2:30—for a quick walk, play session, or check-in. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and plenty of space inside for pets to relax. I do have a cat, but she keeps to herself and tends to avoid other animals, so there’s very little interaction unless your pet is especially curious. I keep my home clean, pet-friendly, and free of any hazards. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or visiting yours, I always follow feeding routines, leash rules, and any specific instructions you leave. You’ll also get regular updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands.
“We did a meet and greet initially. Mary kept us informed of Hunter and how he was doing as we started the process. She was excellent and Hunter seemed to enjoy himself once he was settled. Thank you Mary!”
“Alyssa did so amazing with our dogs. She treated them like her own and I appreciate that greatly. Thanks Alyssa your the best and will definitely be using you again in the future.”
“Liz was great with my baby! She sent pictures every day and was flexible about our drop off and pick up times. She made sure to keep my girl safe and comfortable and I could not be happier with her service! We will be back!”
“Bailey is awesome! She was able to take our dog on last minute and keep him over a holiday weekend. She was kind, good with Bug, had great communication, and was totally flexible with time. I was able to drop him off 1/2 an hour later than expected and pick him up 3 or so hours early. She was fantastic!”
“Brandon was FANTASTIC with Sadie and Trixie. They were so excited to see us when we picked them up, but in a way we could tell they were super well cared for. They kept running back to Brandon to make sure he was good and telling him goodbye in their own way. We can tell they developed a great bond and consider him family. They were exhausted and slept the whole way home. This tells us they got tons of good playtime in. Communication was great. We will absolutely have Brandon watch our fur kiddos next time we need to go out of town.”
“Jocelyn took excellent care of our fur baby Bella. She kept us updated on how she was doing with lots of messages and photos too. We were very comfortable while we were away knowing she was in great care. Thank you so very much. Highly recommend!”
“This was my first time using Rover for my pet Shelby. I was pretty lucky to find a great pet sitter, Jenna was fantastic. She has a wonderful puppy friendly home and is very knowledgeable and loving with animals. I'm grateful my puppy was in good hands.”
About: I have volunteered and worked over 10 years with an animal rescue. I have a lot of experience with different dog breeds, ages, personalities, and special needs. I have been a dog owner my whole life. I currently have one dog, a 9year old lab/heeler mix. She is friendly and loves to meet new friends! I currently work part-time from home which allows me to care for your dog full-time. I'm very open and flexible with schedules. I'm available for short or long term stays. I don't have a fenced in yard, but I do have 3 acres for your fur baby to run around and play. I will also akways keep your dog on a leash outside if needed. My home is a caring and loving environment where your dog will feel safe and loved. My husband and I treat our dogs like our kids and will treat yours the same!

“Veronika is great! She dropped in on our two cats while we were out of the country. She was responsive and flexible and made sure to send us photo updates so we knew they were in good hands. Will definitely use her next time we need a pet sitter.”
“I had never used any type of pet service and was a bit apprehensive but Jessi was absolutely wonderful and made leaving much less stressful. Jessi's communication, flexibility and care for Sasha and Ellie went above and beyond my expectations. Jessi is the BEST!”
“Liz was great with our 2 cats! She did drop-in visits to ensure they were taken care of and had daily attention; she also contacted us throughout our absence and sent pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Absolutely amazing! This was my first Rover booking & I cannot believe the peace of mind she gave me! Super friendly & prompt, & above all caring!! I can’t recommend her enough!!”
“Alexandra did an amazing job with drop in visits with our cat, Francine. She handled all elements of Francine's care as discussed, was very communicative and sent pictures from each visit. Francine warned right up to her and we couldn't ask for more. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Carly is FABULOUS! She always leaves a detailed summary of her visits- which is huge with my senior dog and keeping track of bowel habits and tinkles. Carly walks with my girl in the yard and takes time for lots of pets. Carly pays attention to and adjusts for my dogs significant loss of hearing to avoid startling. If I could give her 10 stars I would.”
About: Cats have been just as much of a staple in my life as dogs have, and I’ve had and taken care of lots of cats throughout my years. I’ve had 3 of my own for the last 6 years - my youngest I’ve had for 6 but the other two for about 10 and 9 respectively - and I love them with my whole heart. I’ve had to introduce many a cat to another and I know to give them ample time and space to acclimate to one another. My babies are all spoiled rotten and don’t want for anything, and I’ll treat anyone’s cat with the same amount of care.
About: Hello, my name is Bailey & I’m highly experienced with animals. I’ve been watching and taking care of animals for about 10 years now! I’d say watching any animals needed is my passion. I absolutely love animals! I am currently offering walking, boarding, Day Care & Drop in Visits & open to any other requests you may be needing as well! I have my own transportation and I’m a non smoker. I’m willing to love your pet as if it was mine! Let me get to know your fur babies today! Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine whenever it is needed. I currently have a work from home job so I am available 24/7. I am currently offering Walking, Boarding, Daycare & Drop in Visits. I care for pets in my home by making sure the pets are comfortable in the environment and by allowing them to make themselves at home. I care for pets in clients homes the way that they are used to being cared for. I ensure the pets are comfortable in their own environments and that they are being cared for just as if their families were to be home with them.
“Gabby did an incredible job taking care of my cats while I was away! Not only was she attentive and loving, but she was also able to give my cat their medicine with no issues, which was a huge relief. She kept me updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, so I always knew my pet was in good hands. My cats seemed happy and well cared for when I returned. I highly recommend Gabby to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Jemily and her mom took such amazing care of my dog, Marta. They were kind, attentive, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Marta was very well cared for, and I could tell she had a great time with them. I’m so grateful for how sweet and welcoming they were. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring for their pet.”
“I'm very grateful for Angie and her husband. I was a last minute booking the night before amd Angie was very quick to respond to me, a first time Rover user. I was totally unsure of my timing, if it would have to be extended and then after all that I ended up picking my girl up very early. Angie and her husband were very considerate of my needs all along, Bella had a good time, amd I was given updates and pictures. I absolutely recommend Angie, and I will be contacting her again when the need arises. Thank you Angie and family for being so loving to my best girl!”

About: Hi there! I'm Liz! I am the owner and operator of Critter Care and Rescue! Everyone who knows me, knows that my life revolves around animals! I personally own/foster/rehab dogs, cats, horses, small animals and even wildlife! Professionally, I've worked in the animal field since my first job at a pet boarding facility when I was 17. - I am trained for dog/cat Heimlich & CPR (have successfully used that training to save a dog's life!) - Over 20 years of experience with practically every domesticated pet - Worked for 3 years professionally as a canine trainer - I do wildlife rehab, and have successfully rehabbed and released numerous wild critters! - I fear no species, breed or size!

I can guarantee that any animal in my care would be protected with my life.

About: 🐾 🐕 Caring Professional Pet Sitter! 🐾 Hi, I’m Stephanie— pet lover of all age pets! I can’t recall a time when I didn’t have a dog to snuggle!! I provide full service pet care including walks, cuddles, feeding, providing medications and attention so they feel right at home. From your senior pup to high energy pup, I haven’t met a dog yet who I didn’t click with. I treat your pet like a family member.

I love getting out for brief exercise and fresh air with your pets & in home drop in socialization with them, too, it is very therapeutic and beneficial to my health! I appreciate that you give me the amazing gift of sharing your pet with me! I do have a fenced in back yard and large dog crate, when I care for your dog at their home they have the benefit of staying in their familiar environment.

About: I've had pets my whole life. Pets are like family to me. I was a PSW so taking care of people and pets comes naturally to me. Im a retired PWS. Pets in my home will get my full attention all day long. Im at home all day, so pets will be supervised at all times. I have a large fully fenced and enclosed yard so your dogs can be happy, healthy and safe. I have a large pet friendly home also.
About: I offer a boutique, low-volume dog care experience designed for dogs who thrive in a calmer, more personal environment. With 15+ years of experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels—including high-energy breeds like huskies. My setup is intentionally small (only a few dogs at a time) so each dog gets individual attention, structured play, and a stress-free environment—nothing like overcrowded daycare facilities. Dogs in my care enjoy: • Supervised indoor & outdoor time • Daily walks and structured play • A cozy, home-style environment • Optional fresh, homemade meals • Consistent routines to reduce anxiety I focus heavily on reading dog behavior and creating a balanced, safe group dynamic. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or needs a slower pace, I tailor care to them. This is ideal for owners looking for something more intentional, calm, and personalized for their dog—not a chaotic daycare setting. I offer flexible scheduling for daycare and boarding with a consistent daily routine to keep dogs comfortable. Because I keep my numbers low, each dog gets plenty of attention, structured playtime, and rest throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, with drop-off and pick-up times arranged to keep transitions calm and stress-free. Dogs in my care are kept in a safe, structured, low-volume environment designed to reduce stress and overstimulation. I carefully manage group dynamics and only accept a small number of dogs to ensure compatibility. Pets are always supervised during play, with designated rest areas for downtime. I can accommodate crate routines if needed and follow each dog’s normal schedule as closely as possible. Cleanliness, safety, and a calm atmosphere are always my top priorities.
About: I’ve worked in the vet field for 6 years, caring for dogs and cats. And I’ve been fostering for 6 years as well. I’ve had a love for animals since before I can remember. They are my passion. I care for every single one of them as my own I’m a stay at home mom. I don’t have a lot planned right now other than some up north trips and a wedding to plan. Our house can be chaos with all the animals and 2 kids. But everyone is loved and played with. We can go for walks as our neighborhood is not as busy.
About: Hello! My name is Mike and I've been fostering dogs since 2019. I've had approximately 18 come and go, only foster "failing" (foster dogs who I ended up keeping) with two who stayed and had the best golden years. I lost my most recent boy in August, a blind Bichon, just shy of his 12th birthday and after 3 great years. He was type-1 diabetic and blind, and after so much time as a foster getting his insulin regulated, he decided I was his forever family. He had a sister when I got him, a senior Yorkie with diabetes insipidus and a host of health issues. All that is to say I'm a professional at insulin, rigid medication schedules and diet maintenance. Presently I have no dogs of my own. When it comes to your dog, I'll keep your daily routine and walk schedules too, so your pups stay is as minimally disruptive to their normal routine as possible. I've fostered dogs of many breeds from Chihuahuas and a Rat Terrier to a Golden Retriever and Saint Bernard. I've had as many as 4 dogs at once so I'm open to having multiple pups at once. I'll never accept dogs from multiple families unless both families are booking together and the dogs are socialized with each other already. And I'll never cancel a confirmed stay for a more lucrative multi-dog request. I live alone in a detached house in Wallaceburg, and I work from home so your dog won't be left alone aside from short errands. I'm not big on crating dogs, leaving them free to be where they like while I'm gone. I have a den with glass door if you tell me they need smaller quarters, or you can bring your crate for me to use. I have a large fenced yard for playing fetch or dogs who need to run. This is a total dog house. I bought it due to its flat land and not having stairs, and I built a ramp down to the yard. I installed a dog door but it will stay blocked unless having access is suitable for your pups. Dogs are welcome on the couch and the bed, and will have free roam of the house (there's no basement, and garage isn't accessible). House sitting radius: the Rover app limits a 100km radius when setting the territory I can offer the services. I've got my radius set Eastward to circle Toronto, as I grew up there and love an opportunity to take gigs that get me into the city. Unfortunately I can't draw a circle that includes Windsor, but I'm happy to take gigs there too. If you're in London, Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, Brantford, or the GTA, and you have a dog that can be left alone for 2-3hrs max, I may be willing to offer discounts on price so I can catch up with family and friends in those areas while I'm there. If you have any questions or you'd like to arrange a tour or meet and greet, don't hesitate to reach out. I work fulltime hours from home, typical office hours. I'm usually awake by 7am and bed by midnight. I don't have many friends in town so I'm home most of the time. My yard is fully fenced. I have a couple Tile tracking tags that I can attach to their collar if they're an escape artist (or you'd like to track your pups location remotely). Hazardous items like cleaning products are kept in cupboards or in my detached garage. My house is pretty dog proofed and I'm not concerned if your pup has an accident. That's what mops and upholstery cleaners are for. I think I've developed pretty good dog body language, and only correct misbehaviour by command and redirection. I'm a bit of a sucker that let's them get carried away when they're being silly, but particularly with bigger dogs I'll make sure their training is maintained (no jumping up to greet, making sure they don't assert dominance etc.)
About: Have a history of dog breeding and care, love all pets. We currently have 2 small dogs, our cat passed way last year sadly, but we love both. I work part time, three hours three times a week and so I have a lot of free time to care for the needs of your pet. I have a fully fenced in yard where even the smallest dog cannot get out. In your home I am available to help them feel comfortable and safe when you are away.

I treat every animal I interact with as if they are my own. I am hyper vigilant about safety- whether that is environmental, the animal's health or the body language an animal is showing. I can guarantee that any animal in my care would be protected with my life.
About: I have years of experience with pets through fostering, facility-based care, and in-home services! I have cared for pets of all ages, from newborn to senior pets. I always make sure to update owners with photos and videos to show how their pets are doing! Pet care is my full-time job. I am available for services Monday-Sunday and am available from morning until night for appointments, and offer in home overnight sitting. I build my schedule to be as open and available as possible to comply with your pets' needs! I carefully follow instructions left by clients and do my best to maintain pets' daily routines. I ensure that any questions or concerns are addressed with the client to maintain pets' comfort and safety.
About: I’ve had pets all my life and I have a love for all animals. I know many dogs through friends and family and I have experience walking and caring for a variety of breeds, ages and temperaments. I used to have two dogs of my own in addition to my three cats, one of which was a Shiba Inu - so I’m used to and can handle dogs that can be reactive or territorial. I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember and I love to spoil and care for them. You can be sure I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I would give to my own. I currently have a business I’m starting up so I’m only working part time, as such my availability is varied but generally open. I prefer to sit at others’ homes but would be available to board throughout the week - I have a couple obligations Monday, Wednesday and Friday so just message me and we’ll see what we can work out. As I have three cats any boarding at my home would require the pet to be vetted and to verify they are cat friendly and non-aggressive. For in-home sitting I can provide a walk, feedings and general play and care including letting the dogs out to potty. At my own place I do not have a fully enclosed yard, but I can still take out dogs on-leash, and would provide all the same in-home care as I would sitting. I do have a gate for the kitchen if they needed to be kept separate from the cats. As I rent the dogs must be potty trained, though I understand pee accidents due to excitement and such can happen. In general I offer a safe and friendly environment for your pets regardless of whether I’m in your home or my own, as every animal deserves to be treated with love and care.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was born. I currently have 2 big dogs and 6 cats at my home. I’ve pet sat for friends and family and sometimes I come over just to see their fur babies. I love going on walks with dogs but also snuggling up on the couch with my babies. I currently have a 8am-4pm job but it’s with family so they are very flexible if I need to leave and come back during the day. I’m currently enrolled in college online perusing a degree in marketing as well. I’m a very gentle person and I have a lot of respect for animals space. I don’t like to rush or make them feel threatened by me. I often however, hit it off very well with pets and love to play with them! I have tons of acres at my home so my dogs like to run free or on a leash if needed.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life. I have been surrounded by dogs since I was born and have had a dog since then. We have always had cats as well and they are all treated like royalty. Pets truly are a part of the family and I will be sure to treat and care for yours as I would my own! I am currently fully available to pet sit, take on walks at any time of the day. I am fully committed to making sure your animals are taken care of and get enough human interaction! My dog personally doesn't do the best with other dogs as she's getting older and doesn't want to be bothered, so I would make myself fully available to come to your home at any time. Obviously every pet is different and on different schedules so I would make sure to follow your pets schedule and routine just as I would for my pets.

“OMGGGGG! I’m new to having pets. My daughter had an OFSAA tournament in Sarnia. We know no one in Sarnia. It was my first time using Rover. Angie responded quickly. Her rate and reviews are GREAT! She kept our minds at ease by sending pics, videos, notes throughout the day. She made the cutest posts. It was our first time away from Toby. There was a lot of anxiety but Angie put us at ease. She has a park next to her home to walk Toby. Not only is Angie great…but so is her family! So welcoming and friendly and kind. I know where to go if I’m back in Sarnia. Angie is 100% dependable kind and patient and just loves animals! 100% recommend Angie!”
“Melissa took wonderful care of our fur babies! It was a short stay but Chocolate Chip and Remy had so much fun with her dog Willow and the other border, Chase. Little Remy really bonded with Melissa and ended up sleeping with her. He’s a picky eater and Melissa was so kind to hand feed him! Would definitely board our pups with her again.”
“Madison and Brandon were amazing dog sitters for Teddy. They were very patient and worked with him to get to know their three dogs. Very responsive and attentive to Teddy.”
“I am very happy with the care my two dogs received while staying with Jemily and her family. It was so nice receiving videos and pictures throughout their stay so I could feel confident that they were having a great time and were being well taken care of! I highly recommend her if you are needing someone to care for your pets.”
“Jessica and Ben do such a good job watching our dog! She is so flexible with scheduling and always sends us pictures at least once a day to keep us updated! Cannot recommend them enough!”
“Amber made pick up and drop off quick and easy. She provided updates and photos/videos during our stay and accommodated us when we were running late. Would use her services again.”
About: Hey, I’m Jeremy! An animal lover, outdoor enthusiast, and long-time pet caregiver. I’ve been walking dogs since I was 12 and have experience with both cats and dogs since before I can remember. I currently have a cat who I’ve cared for over the past three years, and before moving out on my own, I helped take care of our family’s pets, including three wonderful dogs over the years. I was involved in all parts of their care: daily walks, playtime, feeding, and of course, the less glamorous tasks like picking up after them. I'm patient, dependable, and always aim to make animals feel safe and loved. When I’m not spending time with animals, I work full-time in administration and graphic design at a funeral home. I’m also an officer in the Canadian Armed Forces, working with the Cadet Program. I work with youth aged 12 to 18 at the Sarnia Army Cadets, helping them build confidence, leadership, teamwork, and outdoor survival skills in a structured, military environment. I offer dog walking, play dates, house and pet sitting, and pet sitting in my own home. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel happy, relaxed, and cared for. I’m also a photographer — so don’t be surprised if you get a few great shots of your furry friend during our time together! Whether it’s keeping your dog active or making sure your cat feels at home, I treat every pet like family. I can't wait to meet my new fur friend! I work full-time on a 3-week rotating schedule, but I always know my availability in advance. My weekends rotate like this: one weekend I work, the next is a long weekend (Friday to Monday off), and the third is a regular Saturday–Sunday off. I usually have one weekday off as well, which I can use for walks or pet visits. Most days, I’m also able to pop by during my lunch break—usually between 1:30 and 2:30—for a quick walk, play session, or check-in. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and plenty of space inside for pets to relax. I do have a cat, but she keeps to herself and tends to avoid other animals, so there’s very little interaction unless your pet is especially curious. I keep my home clean, pet-friendly, and free of any hazards. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or visiting yours, I always follow feeding routines, leash rules, and any specific instructions you leave. You’ll also get regular updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Alyssa did so amazing with our dogs. She treated them like her own and I appreciate that greatly. Thanks Alyssa your the best and will definitely be using you again in the future.”
“Liz was great with my baby! She sent pictures every day and was flexible about our drop off and pick up times. She made sure to keep my girl safe and comfortable and I could not be happier with her service! We will be back!”
“Bailey is awesome! She was able to take our dog on last minute and keep him over a holiday weekend. She was kind, good with Bug, had great communication, and was totally flexible with time. I was able to drop him off 1/2 an hour later than expected and pick him up 3 or so hours early. She was fantastic!”
“Brandon was FANTASTIC with Sadie and Trixie. They were so excited to see us when we picked them up, but in a way we could tell they were super well cared for. They kept running back to Brandon to make sure he was good and telling him goodbye in their own way. We can tell they developed a great bond and consider him family. They were exhausted and slept the whole way home. This tells us they got tons of good playtime in. Communication was great. We will absolutely have Brandon watch our fur kiddos next time we need to go out of town.”
“Jocelyn took excellent care of our fur baby Bella. She kept us updated on how she was doing with lots of messages and photos too. We were very comfortable while we were away knowing she was in great care. Thank you so very much. Highly recommend!”
About: I have volunteered and worked over 10 years with an animal rescue. I have a lot of experience with different dog breeds, ages, personalities, and special needs. I have been a dog owner my whole life. I currently have one dog, a 9year old lab/heeler mix. She is friendly and loves to meet new friends! I currently work part-time from home which allows me to care for your dog full-time. I'm very open and flexible with schedules. I'm available for short or long term stays. I don't have a fenced in yard, but I do have 3 acres for your fur baby to run around and play. I will also akways keep your dog on a leash outside if needed. My home is a caring and loving environment where your dog will feel safe and loved. My husband and I treat our dogs like our kids and will treat yours the same!
“Bandit has such a great time with Michael! I cannot say enough good things, and we've already booked more visits. Michael is truly a dog person, great with senior doggos and very kind and communicative.”
“Miranda was amazing and took great care of Otis! She responded quickly, sent me updates and is very friendly. Otis appears to have loved running with the other pups on her large property as he has been snoring since I picked him up! I would highly recommend Miranda!”
“This girl is soooo amazing that my Zeus has definitely been missing her. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my Super Needy Zooter Pooter. I will definitely be calling you for any future needs”
