“Nea’s time with Mary went so well! We will definitely book with Mary in the future. She sent pictures videos of Nea while we were away and also sent us texts everyday letting us know how she was doing. Nea came home tired from getting to play with Mary’s sweet dogs. We are grateful she had a great time. Thank you!”
“Lauren and Chris are amazing sitters as always. They are my dogs favorite people to stay with, they make her feel so loved and comfortable when she stays with them!”
“I’m really pleased with Andrew’s communication and care of my dog. The photos and videos were so greatly appreciated and reassuring. This was the longest my dog had spent away from me or family, so having the photos and videos was very welcomed. Thank you! 🐾Kevin would love to come back to play with his friends.”
“Maria and Augustine are wonderful! They are incredibly friendly, highly responsible, and took amazing care of my dog. I had complete peace of mind knowing my pup was in such safe and caring hands. I highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!"”
“Cody, his family, and pup Freya took great care of Moxie. She was skittish being her first time away overnight, but they were patient with her and gave daily updates and pics. She loved playing with Freya& fetching balls. Their home and yard is safe and secure. We will definitely book Cody again when we are visiting out-of-state family near him.”
“I left my dog Koda with Andrew for a week and had zero worries. I was able to enjoy my vacation and not stress about my pet. He sent lots of pictures and Koda definitely was enjoying himself in the backyard and on walks. He was definitely a happy boy!!!”
“So kind and accommodating! Piper had a great time with Deb and Malcomb! Thank you for taking care of piper while we traveled to a family reunion out of state. Knowing that piper was in a home environment with dog lovers made us feel at ease. Deb was very good at sharing pictures and keeping us updated daily on our Miss Piper. A+ experience. Will highly recommend and will use in future. This was our very first Rover.com experience and it was good! Thank you!!”
“Rachel was great! My pup seemed right at home almost immediately. Rachel sent plenty of updates and pictures, and communication was super easy! Will definitely go back!”
“Guinness loves coming here. He enjoys the other dogs in the house and the play time in the backyard. He always comes home exhausted from all the fun he’s had with Tonya.”
“George is the best of the best! It was apparent I made the right decision on who I was leaving my dog with within a couple minutes of meeting George, he’s very well knowledgeable and clearly knows how to handle doggies! (my pup literally listened better to him then he does me ha!) It was obvious through the pics I was sent that my pupper Callaway had the best time while my boyfriend and I were out of town for the week! There’s plenty of room at george’s place for the pup to run around and play, which was priority since I have a very energetic dog! Callaway frequently experienced separation anxiety so it was such a relief to find a place for him to go where he feels comfortable enough to be his playful self! He settled in almost immediately and barely whined while he was left alone in his kennel there, which was very out of the ordinary for our dog. and now back at home he’s been wayy less stressed when we have to leave him alone to go to work! I think he built some confidence there for sure, which wouldn’t have been possible without him having that comfortable environment. Thank you George for your awesome services, 10/10 recommend and will 100% be back the next time we have to leave town! :)”
“Daniel was the best!! He is very kind and provided much activity for my lab. He sent photos and updates. He was flexible with my drop off and pick up schedule. I would highly recommend Daniel and would re-book again when I visit the area.”
“Bobbie and her family were great! Their fenced in yard was perfect for my high-energy dog, and their dog Korra and my dog got along great. It’s nice to not worry about my boy when I’m out of town.”
“Alan was very positive.He sent pictures and comments, and he also was patient with our change in plans. We hope that he'll be able to watch Hershey again sometime because it was a great experience for our dog.”
“Katie and Travis were fantastic with our small, old, special-needs dog! Katie is communicative and was clearly attentive to our dog's needs. We will definitely use her again!”
“She watched my two dogs while I went Out of the country. She did a great job keeping me updated and sending photos. My dogs were very well taken care of and happy when I saw Them. She’s someone I trust with my dogs and would use her again :)”
“Día is fantastic! Ellie, my senior dog, looked so happy with her. She sent a lot of pictures during the day. Ellie stayed with Dia for 15 days and I couldn’t be happier with the way Dia took care of Ellie. Highly recommended.”
“Andria and her family were so kind and took great care of my 2 dogs! They sent updates and my pups looked happy and comfortable. We will be using her again in the future!”
“Zuri is simply AMAZING! My pup was warmly welcomed by the resident pups and had a great, extended stay. She goes above and beyond out of love for the animals. Her accommodations for my baby were great. He needed a procedure done while boarded, and Zuri stepped in, without thought or hesitation, to ensure a good recovery. My pup and I are very happy with Zuri. I didn’t think he’d want to be at home after making good friends and playmates. Fortunately for me, he did miss me. Thank you so much Zuri!”
“Sydney was amazing!!! Poor Charlie got sick with 2 parasites right before his visit. He was feeling much better after a few days on medication so Sydney still was willing to take him in. She continued the rest of his treatment which consisted of multiple medications at carousing times throughout the day. She continued to provide us updates through out his stay and reassured us that he was definitely on the up and up the whole time. Her location is ideal for airport travel as she is only about 10 minutes from DTW. We will absolutely use Sydney in the future!! Thank you again!”

About: Hi! I’m Kayla, a lifelong animal lover and proud cat mom to two spoiled boys, Finny and Banjo. As a cat owner myself, I know every cat has their own personality, routine, and preferences, and I love taking the time to earn their trust while keeping them comfortable in their own home. Whether your cat loves to play, prefers quiet company, or just wants someone to keep their routine consistent, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’ll make sure they’re well cared for, their litter box stays clean, and they get plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I know leaving your cat can be stressful, so I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
About: I’ve been a proud cat owner since 2022 and currently share my home with three cats, so caring for cats is part of my everyday life. I know every cat has a unique personality.

I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep litter boxes clean, provide fresh food and water, and make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your cat is in good hands.

“Kasey was absolutely wonderful! I highly recommend her. She definitely loves taking care of fur babies and it shows. I can’t even Thank her enough. Will definitely have her care for my babies again. Thank you so much Kasey❤️”

“Jay clearly adores the dogs and cats he cares for. My cat Gatto took right to him. He's a fabulous photographer - got loads of great shots of my kitty while I was away. His updates were fun and enthusiastic. You really can't do better. Thx Jay, for the peace of mind while on vacation.”

About: What sets me apart is how much genuine love and care I have for animals.

About: Hello, my name is Elijah and I have over 10 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. For 5 of them, I've been a vet tech and the other 5 have been various dogsitting jobs. I currently work at a vet clinic in northbrook. I also have experience with exotics (pocket pets, reptiles, and birds). I personally have a dog, cat, leopard gecko and a ball python! I'm comfortable with any sort of animal, large or small! I work short 5 hour shifts three days a week. Then, two eight hour shifts with an hour break. So I'll have plenty of time to spend with your furry family. I gave experience with behavioral and special needs that vary greatly from dog to dog. I can and will follow any safety guildines you would like to be put in place.
“Brooke was amazing! I was very nervous about leaving my babies in the hands of a stranger, so I did the meet and greet and gave her my keys before she left. She was so compassionate and her pictures were fantastic! As most dog owners know, when you leave, your dog doesn't always want to eat or drink or use the potty.. she was aware of all of these and kept me apprised to how it was going. I have never seen or heard of my Sergeant treating anyone else the way he treats me until now. Took probiotics from her hand, gave her kisses and hugs and never even barked when she pulled up! Brooke was respectful, prompt, informative, and I honestly can't wait to use her and the service again! Being that this was my first time using the service, I have not had such a great experience. Thank you so much Brooke, I am grateful, and glad to have someone who can trust to take care of my babies while I'm gone. ?”

“Andrew is a kind heart and knows how to look after dogs. My Carly has enjoyed her stay with him immensely playing with her buddy, Andrew‘s dog Dante I’m older and it’s hard to give my dog the exercise and stimulation that she needs. I know she’s in great hands with Andrew.”
“Bobbie is amazing! She watched our pup Ace a couple of times when we needed a sitter during the day. It always makes us a little nervous leaving our pup with someone new, but Bobbie took such great care of him, sending plenty of detailed updates. She also played with him a ton and even took him swimming, which he loves! Ace was exhausted when he got home and I could tell he was so well loved and cared for. Would recommend Bobbie one hundred times over, will definitely book with her again! Thanks Bobbie :)”
“With my first puppy I quickly became worried i'd never be able to take a vacation. George eased my own separation anxiety and I was comfortable taking my first day trip away from my 8 month old puppy knowing she was safe and cared for.”

My goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. 💗 My approach: I treat every pet like family. When your pet stays with me, they’re not just being watched—they’re being cared for, loved, and understood.

About: Taking care of animals is a passion of mine. In fact I am currently working towards a career as a zookeeper. Grew up taking care of both indoor family pets and outdoor barn dogs. I wish to give my own dog, Freya, the best life and therefore have done much research on the care of dogs and their needs. When it comes to animals I prefer to be cautious and examine their behavior to make sure each animal is happy and healthy. My current job has flexible hours and allows me to work from home so I have open availability and I will be able to watch your pets. I have a fenced in backyard which my dog takes plenty advantage of. I understand dog behaviors and monitor them for signs of distress or aggression. If need be I am able to isolate dogs in either a crate or separate areas of the house.

About: With over 14 years of experience caring for animals, pets have always been a big part of my life.

Our entire household is full of animal lovers, and we pride ourselves on creating a safe, loving, and fun environment for every pet that stays with us. We welcome pets into our home where they’ll enjoy plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort. We have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor fun, and our own pets are very social and gentle with others. I’ll make sure your pet feels right at home—and I love sending lots of photo updates so you can see how much fun they’re having while you’re away! Operating as Guardian Paws Boarding (Tracy & Sons, LLC). Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s my full-time passion and profession. I’m home all day, every day, which means your pet will get constant attention, love, and care. Since this is my only job, your cat (or dog) will be my top priority, and their needs will never be rushed or overlooked. From playtime and feedings to snuggles and quiet companionship, I’m fully available to follow your pet’s routine and make them feel right at home. You can relax knowing they’re being cared for by someone who’s always around and truly dedicated to their happiness and well-being. When your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated like one of the family. I provide a safe, loving home environment with plenty of attention, play, and comfort. We have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can run, explore, and get their energy out safely. If your dog is crate-trained or needs to be crated at certain times, I’m happy to accommodate that as well. I have three friendly, well-socialized dogs who love meeting new furry friends, and two wonderful kids (ages 8 and 15) who are great with animals and love to play and cuddle with them. Whether it’s fetch in the yard, a cozy nap inside, or just being around a loving family, your pet will get the care and companionship they deserve while you’re away.
About: I can train puppies to sit, stay, potty train also. I have always been an animal lover and get along great with any type of dog. Your dogs will have access to my backyard at all times. I am available from 8am-10pm at my house with drop offs. If you need an overnight watch I need at 48 hr notice ahead of time. I provide walks and can help train them with harnesses or just a leash. I am close to a nature trail for great walks and nice dog accepted parks. I can do dogs nails, bathing and brushing as far as grooming goes. If you have any special request not listed I am flexible. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family members. Thanks!
“Rachel and Michael were great! We booked well in advance and everything went as planned. They have a great fenced in back yard and took our dog for walks the two days she was with them for daycare. Rachel readily responds to messages and was flexible with times. Definitely recommend them!”
“This was an amazing place for my dog to stay! I was spoiled with pictures and videos so I could see how my baby was doing pretty much the whole time he was there! He was so happy to make new friends, and he got to play to his heart’s content! Erin and her husband are very attentive, and Tucker loved them straight away. It was really such a treat for both of us! Thank you!”
“Katie was great with our small old dog! She sent several pictures and updates and was clearly very gentle and caring and attentive. We'll definitely be using her again!”
“Maria was so great. Got many updates. Even a nice quick one after i left because Molly was a little timid to have me leave, she can be shy at first. I was sad to leave her on her first doggie daycare. But Marie made everything great, she shared multiple pictures that she warmed up and went on walkies and she seemed to have a great time. I hope to make this a weekly occasion! It was nice to be stress free at work.”
“Had a great experience with David! He was incredibly kind and flexible. He made sure my dog felt comfortable and happy—taking her for a car ride, going on walks, and giving her plenty of attention. It was clear he genuinely cares for the dogs he looks after. I felt confident leaving my dog in his care and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter!”
“Comer & Joan put our minds at ease when they babysit our pups. They treat them like we treat them.- like family. They are very attentive to the needs of our dogs and their safety. But we have a dog that is very skittish and they are so patient with him if you’re looking for someone to watch your fur babies looking no further Comer & Joan they are the perfect people”

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs since I was a child. Each dog is the best dog and deserves the entire world. I will treat yours as if they are my own. They are precious and incredible creatures that we should cherish. I’ve fostered and cared for dogs from puppies to elderly dogs with significant health issues and loved them all. I work part time so I am flexible and happy to spend time with your creature friends whenever is convenient. Just let me know what times are best and we will work it out. I am happy to follow all house rules and care for your dog in whatever way you would like me to. Walks and playtime are always a joy.
About: I have routinely watched my coworkers dogs while they are out of town, I have 3 dogs of my own and if I could I would take in every dog that needed a home, love and a warm spot to sleep. While I understand dogs are a product of their environment, I respectfully ask not to board Pit Bull terrier mix or Rottweiler breeds. Thank you. My pets have been treated with flea and tick prevention medication. I work Monday thru Wednesday and usually am home by 2. My boyfriend will stop by at lunch and let my 3 dogs out to potty. On my days off I am usually home. I have a fenced yard and 3 dogs of my home who are friendly and welcoming to new dogs. They are not crated but I can crate yours if you wish.
“Jay does an amazing job with Annie and sensitive to her needs. I highly recommend Jay to anyone who is in need of a dog walker especially if it's an emergent last minute situation. Thank you Jay you were a major help with Annie.”

About: Located in MONROE Hi, I grew up in a home that did dog boarding, I've literally been around this my whole life. I Foster rescue dogs. I can potty train, teach tricks, work on leash skills and door manners. I have toys treats and a big yard. My house is near the lake and we take them for walks multiple times a day. My neighbors are dog trainers or fellow pet lovers. If you need a safe place to keep your pup during work or over vacation we might be the right fit for you. I have an adopted Pitbull who is literally the friendliest dog in the entire world and great with other dogs. If your dog needs to be the only dog around our home might not be ideal. Just being honest. I want us both to have the best experience possible. Meet and greets are amazing to make sure we are on the same page and to make sure all parties involved get along as well. We only offer dog walks and drop ins locally as it's to costly to do that outside of the immediate area. If outside of the Monroe are please advise. My husband and I are both not working. We have all the free time to spend with your pet that you could want. We could do holidays weekends overnights. If there is something you'd like me to work on with your pup let me know! I have a large fenced in back yard in a dog friendly beach community. We take our dog on morning and evening walks with the addition of play time in the yard or inside if it's raining. We have treats toys and space to relax. I have toys for multiple chewing needs - super chewers or tiny nibbles. I have lots of free time and just want to help where I can.
About: Hi, my names Madison! I am 24 years old. My fiancée & I own a house in Newport & we would love to open it up for dog sitting during the days of the week that I am home! I have experience caring for cats and dogs of various ages, sizes, and personalities. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and happy to follow any special instructions regarding medications, feeding schedules, exercise routines, or other unique needs. I know how important it is to stay connected while you're away, so I'll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you & your pets soon 💕 I’m currently working full time but will go remote in September 2-3 days a week so I am looking for something fun to do that will occupy my time while I am home :) We also have 2 cats that we love with our entire hearts 🫶🏼 My boyfriend & I have fostered through a local rescue and have had 5 foster dogs so we treat them as they are our own when they come into our home. They get lots of love, food, walks and attention before they go off to their new home ! I will do the same for your pup 💕 My boyfriend currently works full time out of the house so care will primarily be with myself during the day & evening!
About: Growing up I’ve owned a variety of dog breeds & currently own three cats, a tarantula, millipedes, & a few other “creepy crawlies”. I have had friends, family, and even neighbors repeatedly entrust me with their furry family members. I am also open to caring for exotic pets (lizards, geckos, snakes, tarantulas, millipedes, scorpions, & more!) If you have any questions feel free to ask! I’m currently working part-time, attending school online, & teach yoga on Sunday’s so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to you & your pets needs! Communication is super important to me so you, your pet, & myself all have a positive experience. Please don’t spare any details about what your family needs!
About: I have taken care of dogs for years now. I am very hands-on with training my pups. I am very active and reliable. I like being up early and getting the day started. I have experience with very large breeds and tea cup breeds! At home I have a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy, and a German Shepherd. I enjoy all animals and animals usually love me. I do not mind the weather conditions of Michigan and have never called off from any job. I am good at communicating and if there is ever any issues I would ensure you know right away. I love other people’s animals like they are my own and would not have any issues with high maintenance, or dogs with medical needs. You will not be disappointed if you choose me to look after your fur babies. I’m currently a nursing student at Monroe County Community College, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m able to work around your pet’s needs. I have 2 rabbits that I care for daily, they are free-range and act just like cats! I always ensure my pups at home are getting the right amount of activity weather it is just throwing the ball or going for a run. I care for every pet like they’re my own, keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy while following their normal routine. I always make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean space, and plenty of love and attention. I’m also happy to follow any special instructions or needs your pet may have. 🐾❤️ My student nurse experience helps with passing meds, giving injections, and everything in between for pets that’s need a little extra care!
About: I have loved taking care of dogs and cats for most of my life. I come from a household that taught me a lot of responsibility through taking care of our pets, so I understand the anxiety and trouble of trying to get an extra hand with your furry friends. I’m patient, understanding, and would love to extend the help. I’m currently working remote, which can leave me with a pretty open schedule some days. My availability varies but it is flexible and easy to work around with enough time in advance. I live with 2 dogs that don’t get along with other animals, so pet care at my home is not an option; however, walks and park trips are!
About: Since 2006, I have traveled for work extensively (100-200+/days) and owned several dogs and homes. I know how challenging it can be to find someone who loves dogs and won't cancel or flake last minute, and also not worry about the stress and care level at boarding environments for your furry family members. I am a college coach with open dates this summer to watch your home and pets. I'd love to earn extra income in order to keep chasing my dream with my 12-year-old border collie. If I'm working in the office, I'm still able to make time for home visits, walks and all the pets. I am also able to work remote at times. I look forwarding to finding some families to help as much as I can. I have raised agility dogs, puppies, seniors and added to my pack of 2-3 over the years. I have a good knowledge of feeding dogs with allergies, have done many baths and grooming, and have cared for sick pups. I treat my own dog like family, while also respecting and teaching boundaries.
About: I have been pet sitting every month for the past 6 years and it has been such an enjoyable and memorable experience and I appreciate everyone who has given me the opportunity to do so! I will make sure to communicate as frequently as you want, sharing pics and videos of your fur babies being adorable goofballs. I work from home four days a week, making it easy for me to spend quality time with your pets. I go on daily walks or runs and will happily bring them along. Since I work from home, your pets are never alone for too long! I will respect your home, take care of dishes, mail and trash, & ensure the place is cleaner than when I arrived.

I currently work at a vet clinic in northbrook. I also have experience with exotics (pocket pets, reptiles, and birds). I personally have a dog, cat, leopard gecko and a ball python! I'm comfortable with any sort of animal, large or small! I work short 5 hour shifts three days a week. Then, two eight hour shifts with an hour break. So I'll have plenty of time to spend with your furry family. I gave experience with behavioral and special needs that vary greatly from dog to dog. I can and will follow any safety guildines you would like to be put in place.

“Nea’s time with Mary went so well! We will definitely book with Mary in the future. She sent pictures videos of Nea while we were away and also sent us texts everyday letting us know how she was doing. Nea came home tired from getting to play with Mary’s sweet dogs. We are grateful she had a great time. Thank you!”
“I’m really pleased with Andrew’s communication and care of my dog. The photos and videos were so greatly appreciated and reassuring. This was the longest my dog had spent away from me or family, so having the photos and videos was very welcomed. Thank you! 🐾Kevin would love to come back to play with his friends.”
“Maria and Augustine are wonderful! They are incredibly friendly, highly responsible, and took amazing care of my dog. I had complete peace of mind knowing my pup was in such safe and caring hands. I highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!"”
“Cody, his family, and pup Freya took great care of Moxie. She was skittish being her first time away overnight, but they were patient with her and gave daily updates and pics. She loved playing with Freya& fetching balls. Their home and yard is safe and secure. We will definitely book Cody again when we are visiting out-of-state family near him.”
“I left my dog Koda with Andrew for a week and had zero worries. I was able to enjoy my vacation and not stress about my pet. He sent lots of pictures and Koda definitely was enjoying himself in the backyard and on walks. He was definitely a happy boy!!!”
“So kind and accommodating! Piper had a great time with Deb and Malcomb! Thank you for taking care of piper while we traveled to a family reunion out of state. Knowing that piper was in a home environment with dog lovers made us feel at ease. Deb was very good at sharing pictures and keeping us updated daily on our Miss Piper. A+ experience. Will highly recommend and will use in future. This was our very first Rover.com experience and it was good! Thank you!!”
“Rachel was great! My pup seemed right at home almost immediately. Rachel sent plenty of updates and pictures, and communication was super easy! Will definitely go back!”
“Guinness loves coming here. He enjoys the other dogs in the house and the play time in the backyard. He always comes home exhausted from all the fun he’s had with Tonya.”
“George is the best of the best! It was apparent I made the right decision on who I was leaving my dog with within a couple minutes of meeting George, he’s very well knowledgeable and clearly knows how to handle doggies! (my pup literally listened better to him then he does me ha!) It was obvious through the pics I was sent that my pupper Callaway had the best time while my boyfriend and I were out of town for the week! There’s plenty of room at george’s place for the pup to run around and play, which was priority since I have a very energetic dog! Callaway frequently experienced separation anxiety so it was such a relief to find a place for him to go where he feels comfortable enough to be his playful self! He settled in almost immediately and barely whined while he was left alone in his kennel there, which was very out of the ordinary for our dog. and now back at home he’s been wayy less stressed when we have to leave him alone to go to work! I think he built some confidence there for sure, which wouldn’t have been possible without him having that comfortable environment. Thank you George for your awesome services, 10/10 recommend and will 100% be back the next time we have to leave town! :)”
“Bobbie and her family were great! Their fenced in yard was perfect for my high-energy dog, and their dog Korra and my dog got along great. It’s nice to not worry about my boy when I’m out of town.”
“Katie and Travis were fantastic with our small, old, special-needs dog! Katie is communicative and was clearly attentive to our dog's needs. We will definitely use her again!”
“She watched my two dogs while I went Out of the country. She did a great job keeping me updated and sending photos. My dogs were very well taken care of and happy when I saw Them. She’s someone I trust with my dogs and would use her again :)”
“Andria and her family were so kind and took great care of my 2 dogs! They sent updates and my pups looked happy and comfortable. We will be using her again in the future!”
“Zuri is simply AMAZING! My pup was warmly welcomed by the resident pups and had a great, extended stay. She goes above and beyond out of love for the animals. Her accommodations for my baby were great. He needed a procedure done while boarded, and Zuri stepped in, without thought or hesitation, to ensure a good recovery. My pup and I are very happy with Zuri. I didn’t think he’d want to be at home after making good friends and playmates. Fortunately for me, he did miss me. Thank you so much Zuri!”
“Sydney was amazing!!! Poor Charlie got sick with 2 parasites right before his visit. He was feeling much better after a few days on medication so Sydney still was willing to take him in. She continued the rest of his treatment which consisted of multiple medications at carousing times throughout the day. She continued to provide us updates through out his stay and reassured us that he was definitely on the up and up the whole time. Her location is ideal for airport travel as she is only about 10 minutes from DTW. We will absolutely use Sydney in the future!! Thank you again!”
“David was wonderful with our energetic canine. David sent updates with pictures, multiple times during the day, which put me at ease, and took him on walks! Our pet looked relaxed, content and well taken care of. Thank you!”
“I recently boarded my dog, Wolfie, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. He was walked every day, and it was clear he had a fantastic time. The picture updates were a wonderful touch; they showed just how happy he was. Jayden and his family who took care of Wolfie was truly wonderful, providing exceptional service and demonstrating a high level of professionalism. The quality of care was excellent, and the price was very affordable for the outstanding service received. Overall, I highly recommend this dog boarding service. Wolfie had a great time, and I appreciate the peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands.”
About: I’ve had dogs almost my whole life. I am able to administer medication, give baths, take walks and give all the belly rubs needed. My goal one day is to foster dogs and cats, caring for your fur baby will give me all the experience I need to care for other animals until I have the space to do it. I just love them all! I generally work from home with a very lenient schedule. My kids are all grown and out of the house leaving me with a lot of free time. I just have one dog and one cat, but I would love to love more!! I do not have a fenced yard so I would be walking your dog for potty breaks. I do have a crate I can use in home if needed. For doggy day care we would schedule a meet and greet beforehand. I am available almost anytime for walks and feeding if necessary. For cats I am available for feeding and litter box cleaning.
