“⸻ I found Shelby K. on Rover, and this is the second time I’ve booked her to care for my 10-year-old dog, Marley. Once again, she did a fantastic job—taking Marley on multiple walks each day and sending plenty of photo updates that gave me such peace of mind. Marley always looks happy and relaxed with her, which says so much about Shelby’s caring and reliable nature. It’s clear she truly loves what she does, and I feel very lucky to have found her. I highly recommend Shelby to anyone on Rover looking for a thoughtful, caring, dependable sitter!”

“Katrina and Drew were amazing with our Poppy. It's the first time we have picked her up and she was hesitant to jump in the car to go home. We know she was well-loved and in good hands with them :)”

“I’m so grateful that we found Aish and her family to care for our Bailey while we traveled. She’s extremely responsive to messages and we loved getting pictures of Bailey while we were gone. We will definitely be returning in the future , knowing that our pup is in good hands while we are away.”

“Chelsie was great, highly recommend!! She agreed to take my pup on short notice, was so kind and welcoming, and was amazing with my pup!! It was great as she sent daily updates and pictures. I will most definitely use her services again in the future!!”

“After our meet & greet with Beth, we knew River would be in good hands. As a rescue, his care is somewhat unique. Beth did a professional job assimilating him into her home and in meeting her dogs. We feel very fortunate to have found her and highly recommend her to other pet owners.”

“This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone other than family. It was a great experience. Lots of updates and pics and they are treated like their own animals. Will book again.”

“Carrie is amazing! It’s always a little scary leaving your furry friends with strangers, but the minute we met her and Mark, we knew our Tiger would be in great hands. Carrie updated us everyday on how he was doing and sent us many pictures, which we loved! We would definitely book her again!”

“Ann was amazing. She took care of our senior dog with some medical needs and aging and gave Louise exactly what she needed with such positive kindness. We got pictures and videos and felt like our sweet little old lady dog was truly in the best care during our trip. I will definitely use Ann again because she was incredible.”

“Becky was amazing! My beloved ❤️ Cinder & I had been traveling since Christmas & moved back to the area for my job & school. Becky helped me out in a jam while I was waiting for my rental to open. She treated Cinder as one of her family - Gave her TLC, hugs, a bath & when the polar vortex hit she let me add a few more days because of the weather. Not everyone would do that. Highly recommend!”

“Leanna was great! I appreciated her updates and pictures, especially since it was our first time boarding with her and her family. Henri made himself at home and seemed to fit right in! We will definitely use Leanna again!”

“Diane & Steven took good care of my aging sweet hound. Every day I received pics of Bart relaxing and enjoying his time. They took the stress out of leaving him behind. I highly recommend their care!!”

“Dee is wonderful! She was so kind and patient with my senior dog. I could tell that he was happy and well taken care of during his stay! I will definitely be booking with her again.”

“The fact that my extremely anxious dog did not immediately run to the door when I arrived for pick up tells me everything I need to know about how well she was cared for. She found herself a second family in the span of 3 days!!!”

“Hank loved his time here. I didn’t have a worry about him because I knew when I pulled up to drop him off that Shelley’s home was going to be a great fit. 10/10 recommend to anyone!”

About: My husband and I bring a lifetime of dog experience to every pup we care for. We both grew up in dog‑loving homes, and for the past 8 years we’ve been raising our own family dog from puppyhood into adulthood. That hands‑on experience has taught us everything from crate and potty training to maintaining consistent routines, managing energy levels, and providing calm, loving structure. What sets us apart is the balance of experience, patience, and true family-style care. We understand how to work with dogs at every stage — energetic puppies who need guidance and structure, adult dogs who thrive on routine and play, and senior dogs who need slower walks, gentle support, and extra comfort. We’re attentive, safety‑focused, and always tuned in to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Your dog will be welcomed into a warm, stable home where they get plenty of exercise, affection, and communication. We treat every pet as if they’re part of our own family, and we make sure you always feel informed and confident while they’re with us. My husband and I both work full time, but we still have great coverage for pet care throughout the week. My husband works from home on Mondays and Fridays, which allows for frequent walks, breaks, and plenty of attention during the day. My schedule is 7:00am–3:00pm, so I'm usually home earlier in the afternoon, and my husband works 8:00am–5:00pm. We provide a safe, calm, and welcoming home environment for every pup we host. Our fully fenced backyard is perfect for supervised outdoor play, and our friendly 8‑year‑old golden retriever loves having company and helps new dogs feel comfortable right away. Inside, dogs have plenty of space to relax and be part of our daily routine. We always supervise outdoor time, keep our home secure, and make sure each dog gets the right balance of attention, structure, and comfort. Your pup will be cared for like family and will feel right at home with us.
“Our pup came home happy and well cared for. Kelly gave our dog enough exercise and even catered to our finicky eater. She was kind and treated our dog like her own! She also was easy to work with.”

“Such a wonderful ❤️ dog play experience for our one year old pup, Lola. She had a gentle play companion and was walked regularly. Lola was a very happy and tired girl when we picked her up. Thank you Katie and Rachel!”

“lonni & steven took great care of my senior dog! he seemed very at ease with them and they sent me pictures and updates which put me at ease too :) would gladly book with them again.”


“Leslie provided great care for my dog! She was very communicative and ensured we were on the same page. She also sent many pictures of my pet during our short stay which was highly appreciated. I will be booking with her again soon!”

“Andrew and his family including Gunner are fantastic hosts for Ollie who feels right at home. With the updates and pictures I can see that Ollie had a very good time. I also really appreciate how quickly Andrew communicates. It is always an excellent stay. Thank you!”

“Rachel was really great with our cats! She communicates well and immediately let us know of any issues. Our cats were comfortable with her and looked forward to her daily visit. We will book her again for any future needs!”


“Kaitly went above and beyond during each visit, always prioritizing giving my cat, Zelda, who finds it difficult to befriend new people, plenty of well-received companionship and playtime while I was away. After each visit Kaitlyn sent a thoughtful recap of how the visit went and how Zelda was doing. Thanks Kaitlyn!”


“We Love using Angela and her boys. They are so attentive to our animals needs and follows all instructions carefully. Our kitties need special foods to keep them regular when we are on vacation. Since we’ve used Angela, we no longer have Vet visits after every vacation! Truly wonderful!! Additionally, we trust her completely having access to our house.”

“Immediately upon meeting Camila, we could see her love for animals, and knew our cat would be in great hands. Camila sent us many beautiful photos of Bella throughout the weekend, which we thoroughly enjoyed and looked forward to receiving each day. We could see in the pictures that Bella was having a lot of fun being cuddled and played with. We would definitely recommend Camila to other pet owners and will reach out to her again when we need someone to watch our cat! Thanks, Camila!”


“Lauren was wonderful! She accepted the challenge of the diabetic cat that needs insulin shots 2x a day. I have 3 cats that she took wonderful care of. I also received updates and pictures every time she visited. Even though I was on vacation getting updates made me happy. I will definitely be hiring Lauren again when I need a cat sitter.”

About: As a dog owner of two and lifelong animal lover, I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve had dogs since I was 12 and am familiar with everything from puppy energy to senior dog needs. I enjoy staying active outside and making sure pets get exercise, attention, and lots of affection — including great puppy cuddles. Your pet’s comfort and routine are always my priority. I work from home and can work from anywhere so I have almost unlimited flexibility and can’t wait to meet and get to know your oets! I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. In my client’s home, I aim to keep pets’ schedules as consistent as possible with regular feeding times, walks, play, and plenty of affection. I know how important familiarity is, so I work to create a calm, safe environment while you’re away. I treat every pet like one of my own and understand the trust it takes to have someone care for them in your home. I’m respectful of your space, communicative, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life: Dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, and even a horse! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I raised and trained my two Boston Terriers from 8-weeks-old, and also cared for my late rescue, Leo, who lived to be an incredible 19 years old! I’ve been watching pets for family, friends, and neighbors for about five years now. I’ve looked after the stubborn corgi all the way to the giant mastiff. Whether you have one or five pets, all will be loved, spoiled, and safe. I am currently available for any service all day every day! If you need a boarding service, it must be done at your own home for the safety of both of our pets (my puppies are pretty territorial and the bird does not understand the concept of boundaries). I am prepared to provide your pet with whatever they need. Whether it be walks, medication, or cuddles, they will have my indefinite attention! Your pet’s care routine will be strictly followed to ensure that they feel comfortable, and you are more than welcome to request photos and updates!

About: My name is Marill. I love all animals. I have been watching animals since 2006. I absolutely love dogs. Every pet I've ever watched I try to mimic their home behavior so there are no bad habbits learned. If they aren't allowed on the couch at home. I wont let them here. If they are working on commands I will use your verbiage and hopefully return them to you more trained then when they came! If you want them to have the best time ever and be on vaca too, I can absolutely do that as well with beach days and sleeping in, on my bed! I want your pet to feel happy and loved while you're away and I can always provide pictures and video's too if you'd like! I have had a lot of experience with dog behaviors, training and medications and am always willing to learn. I chose to do Rover because I no longer wanted to leave my older dog… then COVID happened and I lost all 4 of my hospitality jobs so I chose to watch dogs full time! Rover is just one more way to get my name out there, but this is all I do all day long and I love it! I own a boarding business that I run out of my home so I’m here all day every day doing what I love. So Rover is just a great way to get in touch with people that need their pet to be in a safe and happy environment while they are away. I have 6 dogs of my own. Ranging from 6 years to 1. All different play styles or all of them love to sleep too! I have everything your dog needs to feel safe, get properly socialized, learn in a group setting and really enjoy coming here every time. I love all the dogs I watch just as if they were my own.
About: I absolutely love dogs, they are God's most loyal, friendly and trustworthy creation. I've had a dog for several years and that helped me discover my love for them! I currently work from home so I assure you that I can take care of your furry friend! I am very flexible and can be available on weekends if given a couple day advance notice. I have a finished basement so your pup can have a great play time in winter. No fenced yard but a decent spaced backyard. I will also take them on regular walks so they can stay healthy,lot of play and cuddling time so they feel loved and of course some music, TV and downtime and their good behavior will be rewarded with hugs and treats :)
“My cats have special needs, with Ariel's background, I was very comfortable leaving them in her care. She graciously came over for not one, but two meet and greets to go over all of the medications and special diets. This really helped put me at ease. Ariel sent pictures and detailed updates. She even gave them extra attention and hand washed their dishes. I'm in the process of booking her again. Thanks so much, Ariel!”

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember, growing up with five at a time—mostly black labs and black lab/German shepherd mixes—so I’m very used to bigger, stronger dogs. My dad often took us to dog events when I was a kid, which gave me plenty of experience handling all kinds of breeds and personalities. Along the way, I also picked up basic training skills, so I know how to keep dogs engaged, cared for, and comfortable. I’m currently a full time college student but I would be able give pet care in between classes during the day and some some weekends as needed When I care for pets in your home, I always follow their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, and playtime while keeping things consistent with their food, walks, and sleeping schedule. I’m happy to reinforce any training or commands you use, and I’ll keep your home tidy while making sure your pet always has fresh water and a cozy space. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy and cared for.

About: My husband and I are former dog foster parents and love meeting/spending time with new dogs! We have two resident (foster fail!) dogs: Ace, a shy pitbull who LOVES other dogs and Tesha, a rambunctious tripod who LOVES people. We especially love older dogs in our house but are open to dogs 1 year and up. We have a fully fenced in backyard and a tie out available for outside play time. We have space to keep dogs separated if you have a dog that is shy or needs very slow introductions (we have a three level home). Our resident pups are allowed on our bed if they choose, but we have plenty of dog beds around too, and we do not allow them on our couch. We will do our very best to accommodate your pups needs and keep you updated on how your four legged family member is doing while you are away! I currently work from home and am able to take breaks to allow potty and attention breaks. My husband is also home most of the time and will be available when I am not. We like to do slow introductions to other dogs to ensure the comfort of our resident dogs and the visiting pups. We have the space to crate or allow roaming on separate levels if needed.

“Carrie and Mark are so amazing with Ollie! He loves going to their house for daycare, in fact he didn’t want to leave tonight! They love having him and take such good care of our boy.”

“This was Zildjian’s first Rover experience and it couldn't have gone better. Leanna was great and allowed me the opportunity to test put how he would do with a shorter than usual stay (4 hours). She was very accommodating and communicative. I could tell he liked her even though he starts out meeting new people a little in a vocal manner. He trotted right along side her into the house and the photos I saw of him playing with the other dogs showed me that he enjoyed his time. I would not hesitate to bring him to play again in the future!”

Dogs are treated like family here and are allowed free roam of the house as well.
“I truly cannot say enough good things about Sarah and her wonderful family. From the moment i dropped him off, I could tell he felt safe and comfortable with them, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to have them watch my dog again- he will definitely be back!”

I have a super friendly dog, Spencer who will be here for some play time, too. I am at home with my dog Spencer, so I will have plenty of time to play, cuddle, go on walks, and care for your dog.

“Ann has been an absolute dream dog sitter. I know my dog is in excellent hands and I bring him every week. I recommend Ann to anyone, even those like me that is extraordinarily particular about who watches my dog.”

“I am new to the area, and Chelsie was very close by. She responded promptly and communicated clearly. I brought Riley over, and Chelsie kindly met me at the car. I was having some difficulty with the long lead, and Riley immediately went up to her as if they had known each other for a long time. When Riley heard the dogs barking inside the house, she led Chelsie to the door, which was quite charming. I realized I forgot to mention something to Chelsie, but she responded right away. On my way back to pick up Riley, I got caught in traffic, so Chelsie graciously brought Riley out to me, and Riley happily got into the car without any issues. After we returned home, I noticed that Riley's card was filled out, and there was a detailed note, along with photos of Riley's day, showing that she had gone for a walk and played with her dogs. Overall, I would rate the experience as excellent, and Riley will definitely be visiting again.”

Your pup will have full access to the entire house including all of the furniture and beds. Please let me know if you would like to set up a meet and greet to ensure that all our furry critters get along. Also, we do NOT have a cat. Not sure why Rover shows that we do.

Dogs will have access to all furniture while inside. We can also crate them if needed.
“This was Murphie’s first visit and it was a great one! She was obviously very happy hanging out with Lonnie and Steve based on her happy behaviors they shared she did today :-) We will definitely be back when it works out!!”

“Kerstie, Brian and Aurora treated Oreo so well during his visit that I wasn't sure he would come home with me! I got updates on how he was doing that included photos and showed me he was feeling at ease and having a good time. I know he will be excited to visit again when he needs a break from his new little brother. Thanks for treating him like your own.”

“I adopted my first dog and reached out to Shayla soon after. She responded quickly and I felt very comfortable bringing Gabi to her. Gabi had fun and they took great care of her. They also responded to my constant messages throughout the day checking in on her. I continue to use her for doggy daycare.”

“Steve and Diane watched Harvest for the first time recently. He had a blast and will definitely be contacting them for additional days. Thanks for taking such good care of my boy!”

About: I have loved dogs since I was a kid. Even though my parents wouldnt let us get one, I have had them in my adult years. Most recently a cavapoo. I'm the type to get down on their level and be their best friend through playing or snuggling. I work from home full time and currently live by myself. I have no pets at the moment so let me watch yours! If I have to drive my kids (dont live with me) anywhere, I could either crate your dog or bring them with on a car ride. My kids love dogs just as much as I do. I dont have any pets with me, but I've had one dog that was crate trained and another that had the run of the house when the family was gone. I'll make whatever works for your dog work for me.

“Robyn is beyond great with my dog! We started with a meet and greet walk that went very well but after my dog was shy without me there. Robyn was very good at helping Trusty warm up to her! She is always open to suggestions when it comes to me and my dog's needs. Now Trusty absolutely adores her! She's always very punctual, takes good pictures,and leaves good notes on her walks. When she isn't able to walk my dog, she has notified me far earlier than what I expected. I leave for work at 5:00 in the morning and I've had time to readjust before I leave. Hopefully recommended!”

About: Hi there! My name is Teresa! I have a family that absolutely loves dogs and is thinking about adding another pup to our household and thought this would be a good way to see if it would be a good fit for our family! My husband and I and our four kids(13, 11, 6, 5) have had our current dog for 7 months and had adopted a rescue prior to that that we had for almost a year! We both had dogs growing up so this is such an important thing we want to teach our kids! We love to take our dog on walks and we absolutely love to play with him in our house, and we can’t wait to do the same with yours! Our fenced in yard offers a great place for dogs to be able to run and have so much fun! Please reach out if you have any questions, our schedule can be quite flexible depending on your needs!
About: I am certified in first aid and cpr for cats and dogs! Caring for pets has been such a joy for me and I will always go the extra mile for them. I've gained valuable experience in ensuring the happiness and health of household animals like cats and dogs, as well as farm animals like chickens and goats, enjoying every moment spent with these furry and feathered friends. Pet sitting fits well into my part time job as a server while still allowing me to provide the best care I can give to your babies. Whether it's feeding, playtime, or walks, I prioritize each pet's needs throughout the day. This flexible arrangement ensures pets receive consistent care and companionship. Caring for someone's pet in their home involves maintaining their routines and providing plenty of attention and affection. When pets stay in my home, I ensure they feel comfortable and loved while sticking to their familiar routines and introducing them to enriching activities. In both settings, my goal is to create a stress-free and enjoyable experience for the pets under my care.
About: As a dog owner of two and lifelong animal lover, I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve had dogs since I was 12 and am familiar with everything from puppy energy to senior dog needs. I enjoy staying active outside and making sure pets get exercise, attention, and lots of affection — including great puppy cuddles. Your pet’s comfort and routine are always my priority. I work from home and can work from anywhere so I have almost unlimited flexibility and can’t wait to meet and get to know your oets! I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. In my client’s home, I aim to keep pets’ schedules as consistent as possible with regular feeding times, walks, play, and plenty of affection. I know how important familiarity is, so I work to create a calm, safe environment while you’re away. I treat every pet like one of my own and understand the trust it takes to have someone care for them in your home. I’m respectful of your space, communicative, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved.
About: I absolutely love dogs, they are God's most loyal, friendly and trustworthy creation. I've had a dog for several years and that helped me discover my love for them! I currently work from home so I assure you that I can take care of your furry friend! I am very flexible and can be available on weekends if given a couple day advance notice. I have a finished basement so your pup can have a great play time in winter. No fenced yard but a decent spaced backyard. I will also take them on regular walks so they can stay healthy,lot of play and cuddling time so they feel loved and of course some music, TV and downtime and their good behavior will be rewarded with hugs and treats :)

About: Hi, my name is Ava and I have been pet sitting since middle school. I have taken care of dogs from senior labs to crazy huskies. I am very knowledgeable about cats and grew up taking care of them. I also specialize in guinea pigs with over 10 years of experience. I’m a bored college student and looking for flexible part time work. I can do pretty much any time of day if available. I don’t mind late afternoon or early morning. I love animals and have no problems reading body language. I am reliable and will answer my phone if contacted during the service. I am also a pet parent myself!
About: Family of 4 animal lovers! We’ve had pets our entire lives and for the past year have been helping with dog fostering. Our two daughters love to help so your pet will receive plenty of attention, love, and playtime in our fully fenced backyard! I work from home so your pet will rarely be alone and will have plenty of companionship throughout the day. Pets are family here and are welcome to any furniture during their stay. We’d love to care for yours like one of our own! Our backyard is quite spacious and fully fenced in. If you’d like, we can definitely take your dog for a walk as our neighborhood is in a quiet suburb of Prior Lake without through traffic (our kids bike around with no fear). We also have two friendly cats who mostly keep to themselves (or cuddle with each other!) and will happily give your dog space.

About: ive grown up with pets my whole life and often pet sit for my family, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. I’m used to daily routines like walks, feeding, and playtime, and I always make sure pets feel comfortable and loved. i’m available Monday through Thursday for pet care. I have flexible availability throughout those days, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings, so I can adjust to your pet’s routine as needed. I’m happy to work around feeding times, walks, and any specific care schedules your pet is used to. i have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs, so pets will have a safe space and some company if they enjoy being around other dogs.
About: Many of you treat your pets like they were your children; which is why I am the perfect choice! I treat every dog as an individual, attending and caring for their own personal needs. In my free time I love being active and exploring new places. I especially enjoy rollerblading and biking around the nearby lakes during the summer. Being outside with your pup makes my day! I love being able to take trips to the local dog parks near me. I grew up with a Shitzu-Bichon named Bailey at home. She is my by far my favorite family member (shh). We currently have a two year-old and a seven month old. (I am unable to board your dog if they do not get along well with children) As a stay-at-home mom, my schedule is flexible but can sometimes be a bit unpredictable. I’m home most of the day and can easily work pet care into my routine. Walks, feedings, and cuddle time all fit in around our family rhythm. I follow each pet’s routine closely, whether in my home or the client’s. That includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions. I keep things clean, calm, and comfortable, and always treat pets like family with patience, care, and attention to detail.
About: HI! My Name is Allisyn, I have been dog sitting the last 10 years. My kids love to help too! We go on walks, play ball and have so much fun together. We used to have dogs in our home, currently we do not have the space for it so we would love to help with walks or check ins to make sure your loved ones get all the love and attention they deserve. I currently choose my work schedule one month in advance, which means I have a pretty flexible schedule. I work part time and I am typically off by 3pm most days. I offer services at your home, rain or shine we will take your precious pup on a walk to help get the zoomies out. I get a busy schedule and sometimes they don't get the attention they need. I love to come in and help fill the gap and be a part of the day to day.

“⸻ I found Shelby K. on Rover, and this is the second time I’ve booked her to care for my 10-year-old dog, Marley. Once again, she did a fantastic job—taking Marley on multiple walks each day and sending plenty of photo updates that gave me such peace of mind. Marley always looks happy and relaxed with her, which says so much about Shelby’s caring and reliable nature. It’s clear she truly loves what she does, and I feel very lucky to have found her. I highly recommend Shelby to anyone on Rover looking for a thoughtful, caring, dependable sitter!”

“Katrina and Drew were amazing with our Poppy. It's the first time we have picked her up and she was hesitant to jump in the car to go home. We know she was well-loved and in good hands with them :)”

“Chelsie was great, highly recommend!! She agreed to take my pup on short notice, was so kind and welcoming, and was amazing with my pup!! It was great as she sent daily updates and pictures. I will most definitely use her services again in the future!!”

“This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone other than family. It was a great experience. Lots of updates and pics and they are treated like their own animals. Will book again.”

“Carrie is amazing! It’s always a little scary leaving your furry friends with strangers, but the minute we met her and Mark, we knew our Tiger would be in great hands. Carrie updated us everyday on how he was doing and sent us many pictures, which we loved! We would definitely book her again!”

“Ann was amazing. She took care of our senior dog with some medical needs and aging and gave Louise exactly what she needed with such positive kindness. We got pictures and videos and felt like our sweet little old lady dog was truly in the best care during our trip. I will definitely use Ann again because she was incredible.”

“Leanna was great! I appreciated her updates and pictures, especially since it was our first time boarding with her and her family. Henri made himself at home and seemed to fit right in! We will definitely use Leanna again!”

“Diane & Steven took good care of my aging sweet hound. Every day I received pics of Bart relaxing and enjoying his time. They took the stress out of leaving him behind. I highly recommend their care!!”

“The fact that my extremely anxious dog did not immediately run to the door when I arrived for pick up tells me everything I need to know about how well she was cared for. She found herself a second family in the span of 3 days!!!”

About: My husband and I bring a lifetime of dog experience to every pup we care for. We both grew up in dog‑loving homes, and for the past 8 years we’ve been raising our own family dog from puppyhood into adulthood. That hands‑on experience has taught us everything from crate and potty training to maintaining consistent routines, managing energy levels, and providing calm, loving structure. What sets us apart is the balance of experience, patience, and true family-style care. We understand how to work with dogs at every stage — energetic puppies who need guidance and structure, adult dogs who thrive on routine and play, and senior dogs who need slower walks, gentle support, and extra comfort. We’re attentive, safety‑focused, and always tuned in to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Your dog will be welcomed into a warm, stable home where they get plenty of exercise, affection, and communication. We treat every pet as if they’re part of our own family, and we make sure you always feel informed and confident while they’re with us. My husband and I both work full time, but we still have great coverage for pet care throughout the week. My husband works from home on Mondays and Fridays, which allows for frequent walks, breaks, and plenty of attention during the day. My schedule is 7:00am–3:00pm, so I'm usually home earlier in the afternoon, and my husband works 8:00am–5:00pm. We provide a safe, calm, and welcoming home environment for every pup we host. Our fully fenced backyard is perfect for supervised outdoor play, and our friendly 8‑year‑old golden retriever loves having company and helps new dogs feel comfortable right away. Inside, dogs have plenty of space to relax and be part of our daily routine. We always supervise outdoor time, keep our home secure, and make sure each dog gets the right balance of attention, structure, and comfort. Your pup will be cared for like family and will feel right at home with us.
“Our pup came home happy and well cared for. Kelly gave our dog enough exercise and even catered to our finicky eater. She was kind and treated our dog like her own! She also was easy to work with.”

“Such a wonderful ❤️ dog play experience for our one year old pup, Lola. She had a gentle play companion and was walked regularly. Lola was a very happy and tired girl when we picked her up. Thank you Katie and Rachel!”


“Leslie provided great care for my dog! She was very communicative and ensured we were on the same page. She also sent many pictures of my pet during our short stay which was highly appreciated. I will be booking with her again soon!”

“Andrew and his family including Gunner are fantastic hosts for Ollie who feels right at home. With the updates and pictures I can see that Ollie had a very good time. I also really appreciate how quickly Andrew communicates. It is always an excellent stay. Thank you!”

“Mary and Bob and Izzy are wonderful. I couldn’t ask for a better place that my,Chloe, could acclimate and feel safe and cozy. Mary and Bob are wonderful and Izzy is a sweet puppy that accepts Chloe! I couldn’t ask for better!”

“We are so grateful for Brandi and her family! They took care of our dog for 15 days while we were on vacation. Brandi sent us lots of pictures and it was apparent that our dog was well-loved! They took her on walks, snuggled her, and even bought her a Christmas gift from Santa! Brandi was very quick to respond and was very accomodating. We will definitely have Brandi and her family watch our dog again!”

“Peg and Greg did another great job with our boy. It means the world to us to know he’s in the best of hands with someone who cares. Rover needs to allow bigger tips in the app :)”

“Kristen and family were fantastic with our (almost) 7 year old Goldendoodle. She shared a few pictures while we were away and it's instantly clear they treated our dog as if she had been with the family her entire life. Can't recommend enough!”

“Sean was great! Sent us a couple of videos of our dog playing and running around in his big fenced in yard! We could tell he genuinely cares for our pet as if it were his own. Will definitely book with Sean again!”
