“Beth did a wonderful job taking care of Ginger! Ginger came home very happy! Communication was great! Love the photos she sent. I would definitely leave Ginger with Beth again!”

“Ana and Michael provided a wonderful place for us to leave Blossom for a few days. We were immediately comfortable and welcomed. Blossom made herself at home right away. She loved the fenced in back yard and all the attention. Ana was flexible with drop off and pick up times. She also provided videos and updates on how Blossom was doing. It was a wonderful experience leaving Blossom for the first time. Thank you so much.”
“We were so excited to have Mickey stay with Andrew and his family. We received daily updates and pictures. We felt so connected on Mickey’s activity and happiness. Our vacation was so nice due to feeling like our dog was taken care of us such a wonderful way. We will be asking Andrew to watch Mickey in the future. Jenni”
“Bethany was wonderful! Our dogs had a great time with her family while we were out of town. She sent daily pictures which was so fun and reassuring. Will definitely book again!”
“Melissa and her family were great. She was easy to book with and very accommodating with all of our requests. Our dachshund, Squatch, came home happy and tired from a weekend of playing and cuddles. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Emily and her family took the BEST care of our dog, Archie. They made Archie feel right at home. I was sent pictures that showed just how comfortable Archie was, he was happy and truly, living his best life!! Emily's family dog, Maggie, was so sweet and the two dogs really seemed to get along well. I would absolutely recommend Emily for your pet's stay. Her and her family were SO kind and easy to communicate with, very prompt and helpful. This was our first "Rover" experience and I feel so fortunate we found this wonderful family.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. With many years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. In 2019, I completed pet training courses to better understand animal behavior and puppy training. I'm experienced with pets of all ages—from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who require extra patience, attention, and gentle care. Whether your pet loves long walks, exploring local dog parks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with plenty of cuddles, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your furry family member is receiving dependable, loving care in an environment where every pet feels like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work from home three days a week (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday), which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and walks throughout the day. On the two days I work in the office (Monday and Thursday), my fiancé and son are home by midday to check on our furry friends, give them attention, let them outside, and make sure they're comfortable. This means pets are never left alone for more than a few hours at a time. Our weekends are typically spent at home, giving us even more time for walks, playtime, trips to the dog park (if your pup enjoys them), and lots of love and affection. I strive to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. My home features a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. Inside, I have plenty of toys, cozy spaces to relax, and a calm, pet-friendly environment where they can feel right at home. I also live in a friendly, walkable neighborhood that's perfect for daily walks and outdoor enrichment. If your dog enjoys socializing and you're comfortable with it, I'm happy to take them to local dog parks for extra exercise and fun. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll follow their regular routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I understand that every pet is unique, and I treat each one with the same love, patience, and care I'd give my own.
“Miranda did a great job with our pup, nice meet and greet which made us feel good about where he was staying. Very dog friendly and comfortable. We asked for daily pictures and that was no problem. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“Our dog Rio had a BLAST with Rachelle and Dan. They were very detailed oriented when it came to Rio’s special needs. They also sent the perfect amount of updates and pictures throughout the stay. Definitely will book again!”
“Hallie and Toby knew they were back for a fantastic time with Kristen as soon as we pulled into the drive way. With the long walks, space to roam and comfortable home it’s like they are on a vacation. Kristen helped with a last minute adjustment for some medication for Toby and was so accommodating to us. Cannot be more happier with my experience and we’ll be back soon!”
“Katie was amazing! She was very responsive during initial communication and accommodating! Our doggo is a homebody and Katie made him feel right at home, and always kept us updated (with pictures!) on how he was doing. We had a great experience and 110% would book again!”
“Kelly is superb at caring for our dog. When we leave, our dog doesn’t eat well, but Kelly coaxed her to eat well! She gave Grace plenty of outdoor time as well as snuggles and attention. We love Kelly and our dog does too!”
“Shelby did a fantastic job boarding Talia! She provided daily updates with photos and videos, and she accommodated the extra care instructions that I requested. It was clear that Talia had a great time and felt right at home. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Brenna was a great communicator and our Frenchie appeared very comfortable at her house. We enjoyed our vacation more knowing he was being cared for in a dog loving home, instead of at a kennel. Thank you Brenna!”

“Jennifer was incredible in her care for our 3 cats. Her stop in visits during our trip allowed her to engage them and ensure they got the attention they needed. She did an incredible job of following up on visits with photos and responding to questions. It made us feel so comfortable in being gone!! We will definitely use her again!! Mark & Sheila”
“Lindsey and her girls were great with our middle aged cat, Lambeau! They gave him lots of love and were a great help while we were out of town, checking on him everyday, being very responsive to messages, and picked up after some messes he made! If you have a chance to book Lindsey, your pet is in great hands!”
“Olivia did a wonderful job with our 2 cats while we were gone for a week. She was on time and always spent time with the cats as well as sending a quick note and pics of them. We will use her again if needed.”
“Adelaide was wonderful to work with! She cared so well for our cats and provided great feedback and pictures from her drop-in visits. She paid attention to detail, communicated well and was a top notch pet sitter! We’ll definitely book her pet sitting services again!”
“Carine was wonderful and my kitties warmed right up to her. She brought her daughter when she was available so the kitties got extra attention twice a day for the long weekend. My kitties still sit by the front door wondering when their new friends will be back💕”
“Desiree completed multiple drop-in visits (2x daily) during a week-long vacation for my two senior cats. Mr. Twix is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day. Desiree was happy to stop over ahead of the trip to go over insulin and daily routines. I asked for photo updates and Desiree was happy to share! She graciously cleaned one poo mess and even helped reset the fuse box when the cat fountain stopped working. Twix and Butters were calm and happy when I arrived home. I felt comfortable on my trip knowing the kids were getting love in my absence!”
“Regina did a great job of checking in on my cat Ziggy. She arrived on time , dispensed medicines , fed her, changed litter and sent pictures . It gave me comfort to know that I can rely on Regina as she provided the care needed during the time I was away. Thank you !”
About: I’ve taken care of cats ever since I could remember. I have always owned cats with my family. I currently own two cats that I take very care of. I have also helped take care of friends cats when they are away. I like to follow the rules, so if there are certain things you would like me to do, I will follow through with that.
“Sarah is the best pet sitter and will take great care of your fur babies! I use her regularly to take care of my senior cat with heart disease who requires medication twice a day, and I always know he’s in great hands!”
“I had a lot of anxiety leaving my older cat home after recently being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. Vanessa went about and beyond at each visit. She sent pictures and loved one our cats. When we arrived home I could tell the cats were calm and well taken care of. 100% will be re booking with Vanessa. Thank you!! 🙌”
About: I've been around cats my entire life and currently have two cats of my own, so I understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level. My approach is always to let cats set the pace. Whether they're social and playful or more reserved and independent, I'll respect their boundaries and work to build trust in a way that feels comfortable for them. I'm happy to provide playtime, brushing and grooming, feeding, litter box maintenance, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of companionship. I take pride in following each owner's instructions carefully to ensure your cat's routine stays as consistent and stress-free as possible while you're away. I work in Chaska, which gives me flexibility to stop by before work, during my lunch break, or after work for visits and check-ins. My goal is to give you peace of mind and provide your cat with attentive, compassionate care in the comfort of their own home.
About: Pets make life better! They are family. If they behave well, they should be spoiled! I have always had dogs. I grew with up with dogs and now I have my own. I have never owned a cat because my mom is allergic, but I really enjoy them! I care for my friends two cats frequently. I love caring for, playing, and walking animals! I love getting outside to walk. I also love playing fetch and tug of war. I also enjoy playing with feather or ribbon cat toys! I am good with any age animal. They all need love and attention! My dog is 2, so I have been through the puppy stage recently. He has a lot of energy so I know how much exercise dogs need.

“Elizabeth cared for our Corgi and Cockapoo for two days while we were visiting the area. Our girls had so much fun with Elizabeth and her two daughters. We will absolutely book with her again.”
“We just wrapped up our first day of doggy daycare with Jen, and we are so happy to have found such a wonderful family closeby with a fenced yard!!! Jen provided photos and updates throughout the day, which put me at ease. I love that her kids got to play with my dog as well. And I can tell my pup had a great time. We will be repeat customers for sure!!!”
“Kristen and her family welcomed Oreo as if he was their own dog. I felt confident that he was getting all the attention he needed. He got some love and exercise and a much welcomed break from his new little fur brother for the day. He is a fast eater, so still eats a lunch and that wasn't an issue at all for them. I know he would be happy to go back for a visit and some playtime with the kids anytime. Thanks for taking such great care of our big boy!”
“Kara is absolutely amazing! Not only is she top notch! Her family is out of this world as well! I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful place for Leo to spend his days while I am at work.”
About: I’ve had dogs of my own over the years and have raised them from puppies, so I’m very familiar with all stages of a dog’s life from training and high-energy puppy behavior to the needs of adult and senior dogs. I’ve also personally fostered two daschund dogs for several years while a friend went through a difficult transition, caring for them full-time until she was able to find pet-friendly housing. That experience really deepened my understanding of long-term, committed pet care. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds from larger dogs like Boxers to small breeds like Boston Terriers, Dachshunds, and Yorkies. I truly love them all and adjust my care based on each dog’s personality, energy level, and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just companionship, I focus on making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I work from home Monday–Friday, which gives me flexibility for walks, feedings, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. My availability is open, and I’m also available most weekends. At my home, I provide a safe, family-friendly environment where pets are cared for like part of the family. I have a 10-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy, so I always ensure interactions are supervised and safe for both the pets and children. I follow each pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while staying in my home.
“Joey is great! I never worry about my dog when he stays there. He was so excited to go when he did day care and would run to the door when we arrived. Definitely recommend.”
About: I have a dog of my own, MinnieBean. She is a Portuguese Water Dog and is a bundle of joy. She’s quite shy around hoomans but loves other dogs :). I have had 8 great years looking after 2 dogs from a family I work for, and other dogs in between. I will make sure to feed, play and take out your fur baby when needed and make their comfort and happiness my priority. I have also administered medication too if needed. I do require a meet and greet first to make sure my service will be a good fit for both of us. I also have a toddler, so if the service will be in my home, they need to be great around kids :). I have confidence that you will feel comfortable and happy in leaving your pet in my hands. I will always care for and be responsible for any pet, in or out of my home. Oh, and I always love some cuddles too :) I am a stay at home mum, so I will be available pretty much most of the time, however, I do require your dog is kid friendly. I can easily crate your dog if needed or leave them where you tell me to when finishing the service. I will make sure water is available also if needed.
“We were up for a few days and our old boy, Bowie had recently had some medical issues that we needed him to have a little extra love while we were off doing things and we would bring him back daily when done running. We didn't expect this to be a relaxing spa vacation for him! He was showered with love and pampered more that he is at home! I think he thinks I'm a bad dog dad now! Tawny took him for multiple walks every day, brushed him, gave him treats, and just loved him. He even got in the puppy pool which he doesn't do at home! I absolutely could not have asked for a better person to care for our baby. I highly recommend Tawny and next time we're up here if we need someone to watch one of our animals, we know EXACTLY who we're calling! Thank you Tawny for being such a loving person for our Bow-Bear! You're the BEST!!!”
“Timber had a blast playing with Haley today! Sonja and Adam sent lots of great pictures and really helped to tucker my energetic pup out. We'd love to come back again :)”
“Ana and her family were absolutely amazing! It’s clear that they truly understand how important our dogs are to us. Ana’s communication was unparalleled. She sent frequent updates with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while Oreo was with them. Oreo loved playing with their sweet pup Bailey in their securely fenced yard and soaking up all the loving pets from the whole family. It was obvious that they genuinely love dogs and treat their visitors like part of the family. I also really appreciated the chance to do a meet and greet ahead of time so Oreo and Bailey could meet and make sure they were a good play match. I would feel completely comfortable having Oreo stay with them again anytime, and I know he would be thrilled to go back. I won’t hesitate to reach out next time he needs some playtime and extra snuggles!”
About: With 30 years of dog‑care experience, I’ve done it all—groomer’s apprentice, breeder house‑sitter, and professional treat‑dispenser. Your pup gets a work‑from‑home buddy, a fenced yard for maximum zoomies, and all the cuddles they can handle. Special needs? Meds? Extra attention? I’ve got it covered. Basically, your dog’s about to live their best life. Pet care fits naturally into my day because I work from home, so I’m able to give dogs consistent attention from morning to night. With 30 years of experience—including working as a groomer’s apprentice and house‑sitting for dog breeders—caring for pups is part of my everyday rhythm. I take regular breaks for potty trips, playtime, and zoomies in the fenced yard, and I offer both daycare and boarding, depending on what your pup needs. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I provide a secure home environment, a safely enclosed yard for outdoor fun, and plenty of cozy indoor spaces for rest and snuggles. I’m experienced with medications, special‑needs care, and senior pups, and I treat every dog like my own—patient, calm, and attentive. You can trust that your pup will receive reliable, loving care and a true home‑away‑from‑home experience.
“Our dog always leaves happy from her stays with Jeremiah and his family which gives us great peace of mind. He has been so flexible and has had great communication with us on the many days we’ve had our Husky stay for doggy day-care. I highly recommend Jeremiah!”
“Our dogs had a wonderful time with Emily and her family. Emily was a great communicator all the way through and our boys were very well cared for and loved. We will definitely be using her again!”
“When our normal sitter for our 18 year old dog was unavailable we selected Dayjah to fill in. As our dog is old, we are very protective with him. We spike with Dayjah on the phone first. It was clear that she not only was very knowledgeable about about pet care, but even more important, she loved animals. Our dog did fantastic with Dayjah. Infact, he did not seem to want to leave when we picked him up. Dayjah has my highest recommendation in providing safe and loving care for your pet!”
“Our dog is an energetic dog that also needs some supervising and Tracy’s place was a great doggy daycare spot for his needs! She has a big fenced in yard that he can run around in, and dogs that he can play with! Would recommend”

About: I’ve had and helped care for pets my entire life! From dogs and cats to guinea pigs and horses, I’ve always loved being around and caring for animals of all kinds. I’m familiar with the needs of cats and dogs of all ages and am dedicated to providing reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! I just graduated from high school this past school year and will be commuting to school starting in September. I only have a few classes each weekday, so I should still be available to care for your pets around my schedule! I am also very flexible and should be able to meet the needs of almost any pet parent! In my experience, every home is run differently, and every pet sitting job is unique, so I always follow the pet parent’s schedule and instructions. I pay great attention to detail and am responsible with timelines for tasks.
About: MY family and I foster through the Carver-Scott humane society, with 2 Maine Coon cats of our own. I have 2 assistants (11 & 7) that would join me if approved to play with and cuddle your pet. We are understanding of varying personalities and intricacies of all animals and needs they may have. Our family is a homeschooling family that has day and night opportunities to serve your family. Our schedule is constantly changing, but can make time that fits into your schedule as well. We will come to your home to do the items you wish - feed, play, walk, cuddle with your pet. If your pet prefers a quiet environment with no kids, I will come solo. If your pet loves to play and get cuddled the 2 children will be happy to love on your pet. They are trained by the humane society and are well equipped to handle pets in different situations.
About: When it comes to animals, I love them all. I have extensive experience working with animals especially at a non profit no kill rescue that is unique giving everyone a chance no matter if they need high amounts of medical care. With that background, I'm comfortable caring for cats and dogs with medical needs, of all ages. I am most comfortable with small and medium dogs that are easy going and like going for walks! I work remote from home and have flexibility to adjust as needed for weekdays and weekends. I do need advance planning for anything more than a drop in. It's deeply personal to come into someone's home and care for their fur baby, I understand completely! Part of the planning process involves asking questions about your needs, preferences, expectations so we are in the same page!
“Jordana was very quick to respond and awesome with our puppy! Our puppy can be slow to warm up to people, but she was patient and flexible to what our dog needed. We would definitely use her again, and recommend her to anyone! :)”
About: I have had dogs since I was 2 years old small, medium, and large. I have also helped my neighbors when they were out of town to care for their dogs. When looking after any animal I pay very close attention to the animals needs because every dog is different and I work to make sure they are comfortable and happy while in my care. It is important to me that the animals needs are met and expectations from their owners are met.
About: I have over two years of hands-on experience providing loving, dependable pet care, including drop-in visits, in-home dog sitting, and dog walking. I’m lucky to have several amazing regular clients and truly enjoy building strong bonds with the pets I care for. One of my absolute favorites is Remy, a playful white Labrador I’ve been trusted to watch for over a year, he always keeps me smiling! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have four of my own, so caring for pups is second nature to me. I’m passionate about making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I am currently in school in the mornings and work in the afternoons however I am usually done by 6 giving me the whole night to hang out with your pup! I love being able to give dogs my full attention, whether that means extra playtime, long walks, or just keeping them company and making them feel comfortable and loved. Because I have four pups of my own at home, I do not offer pet sitting in my home. However, I am very comfortable caring for pets in your home, where they can stay in their familiar environment. I’m happy to keep your home tidy, follow your routines, and provide your pups with plenty of companionship, attention, and love while you’re away.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other animals for about five years! I started out by dog- and house-sitting for families in my neighborhood, and eventually, word started to spread. Before long, I was being reached out to more and more often to care for dogs, bunnies, hamsters, cats, and guinea pigs! In May 2025, I got a puppy of my own named Goose. Once Goose turned one, I decided to join Rover so I could expand my experience and have the opportunity to help even more pet parents with their animals’ care. I understand how hard it can be to find a family friend—or simply someone you know and trust—to watch your pet. Sometimes, when that option isn’t available, people have no choice but to turn to an app like Rover and trust someone they may have never met before. Because of that, one of the things I pride myself on most is providing a detailed description of EVERY pet visit, along with a possibly excessive amount of pictures! I know the anxiety that can come with leaving your pet in someone else’s care, so I do my best to be reliable, trustworthy, and communicative. I want every update I give you to make you feel like you were there in person, while making sure you’re always kept in the loop about how your pet is doing. At the end of the day, I want you to feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands, getting plenty of love and attention while you’re away! Pet care fits in perfectly with my routine. I am very responsible when it comes to other people’s pets and am very flexible and available. In my home, someone is almost always around. My dad works from home and I have school for a minimum of 2 hours in the morning. In my clients homes, I take time out of my day to spend time with their animals, and work according to the animals schedule, not mine.
About: I have a love for dogs and have had my own dog, Rosie, a Pomeranian, for twelve years now. I love being around dogs and grew up with Australian cattle dogs, as well as farm cats. I will play and care with your dog as if it was my own. I will take your dog on walks and make sure they get enough time outside to play and go potty. I am most comfortable with small, medium and large sized dogs. Please contact me with any questions! I would love to care for your dog! I work from home and my schedule is very flexible. I can do drop-ins or walks around my work schedule and can accommodate what you and your pet need. I will take care of your dog like my own and give them the love and attention they need. That may mean a longer or shorter walk, depending on your dogs exercise level. I can also play fetch if that is preferred over a walk.
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 10 years old and I love all animals! I have trained all of our dogs and they have had long, happy lives. I am a stay-at-home mom and my kids are all grown now. I have plenty of time to cater to your pets needs! I can come to your house anytime or have your pets here. I am very responsible and will always be there for your pets day and night. Staying in touch with you, sending pictures of your pets and following your instructions is a must!
About: I have help take care of friends and neighbors pets for at least 7 years. I am looking to help more around my neighborhood with Rover app. Am looking to help in walking or just dropping by to help your fur baby to get out and go potty. I looking for part time. If you are ever in need of a place to keep your pet over while you go out of town. I am willing to help out with that and would like to just keep in mind I have kids that are kind to animals.
About: Hi there! I’m Elizabeth—a lifelong dog lover who’s all about making your pet feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pup is full of energy or a total cuddle bug, I’m here to meet them where they’re at with patience, warmth, and care. I’m dependable, compassionate, and flexible with schedules, and I love sending photo updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands! I'm happy to be flexible with your schedule and help in any way I can to care for your pets! Currently have a part time job! I’ll always keep you in the loop with plenty of updates and cute photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and loved!

About: Pets make life better! They are family. If they behave well, they should be spoiled! I have always had dogs. I grew with up with dogs and now I have my own. I have never owned a cat because my mom is allergic, but I really enjoy them! I care for my friends two cats frequently. I love caring for, playing, and walking animals! I love getting outside to walk. I also love playing fetch and tug of war. I also enjoy playing with feather or ribbon cat toys! I am good with any age animal. They all need love and attention! My dog is 2, so I have been through the puppy stage recently. He has a lot of energy so I know how much exercise dogs need.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was in my teens. I watched the neighbors dog with my sister when they were on vacation growing up. My sister had a Pomeranian dog breed throughout high school into college. Have experience watching Shih Tzu's, Chihuahua's, St Bernard, and Black Labs. I have experience watching a mixed husky (breed) and have known the dog since 2014. I most recently watched Renly while they were on a camping trip during the summer of 2023. This dog lives with epilepsy and special care was provided twice a day! I have experience with little and large breeds and enjoy animals and getting outside for a walk after work! I am working full time during the weekdays, available during the weekday evenings and weekends to be at home providing pet care. I can take for walks after work for exercise. I can crate your dog as needed or kennel when I am not at home. I pay close attention to the dogs when outside to ensure they are safely in the yard. I have experience with electric fences and houses that do not have the electric fence.
About: I grew up on a hobby farm with dogs, cats, horses, chickens and goats. I have always been around animals of all kinds. My friends and family call me whenever they need a pet sitter as I enjoy taking care of animals. I currently work from home, so I am able to have animals at my home, stay at client's homes with their pets or just stop by to check in or do walks. My work schedule is flexible. I own my own home with an unfenced yard, but I do have outdoor dog hookups and a friendly neighborhood to walk animals. My furniture is pet friendly and I always love a good snuggle.
“Regina is AMAZING! I will for sure ask for her help again. Wonderful, caring and very helpful. I needed to adjust times a couple of times and she always tried to help if she was available. Very, very happy. So was my dog. ?”

It was a wonderful experience leaving Blossom for the first time. Thank you so much.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. With many years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. In 2019, I completed pet training courses to better understand animal behavior and puppy training. I'm experienced with pets of all ages—from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who require extra patience, attention, and gentle care. Whether your pet loves long walks, exploring local dog parks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with plenty of cuddles, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your furry family member is receiving dependable, loving care in an environment where every pet feels like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work from home three days a week (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday), which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and walks throughout the day. On the two days I work in the office (Monday and Thursday), my fiancé and son are home by midday to check on our furry friends, give them attention, let them outside, and make sure they're comfortable. This means pets are never left alone for more than a few hours at a time. Our weekends are typically spent at home, giving us even more time for walks, playtime, trips to the dog park (if your pup enjoys them), and lots of love and affection. I strive to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. My home features a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. Inside, I have plenty of toys, cozy spaces to relax, and a calm, pet-friendly environment where they can feel right at home. I also live in a friendly, walkable neighborhood that's perfect for daily walks and outdoor enrichment. If your dog enjoys socializing and you're comfortable with it, I'm happy to take them to local dog parks for extra exercise and fun. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll follow their regular routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I understand that every pet is unique, and I treat each one with the same love, patience, and care I'd give my own.
“Miranda did a great job with our pup, nice meet and greet which made us feel good about where he was staying. Very dog friendly and comfortable. We asked for daily pictures and that was no problem. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“Our dog Rio had a BLAST with Rachelle and Dan. They were very detailed oriented when it came to Rio’s special needs. They also sent the perfect amount of updates and pictures throughout the stay. Definitely will book again!”
“Hallie and Toby knew they were back for a fantastic time with Kristen as soon as we pulled into the drive way. With the long walks, space to roam and comfortable home it’s like they are on a vacation. Kristen helped with a last minute adjustment for some medication for Toby and was so accommodating to us. Cannot be more happier with my experience and we’ll be back soon!”
“Kelly is superb at caring for our dog. When we leave, our dog doesn’t eat well, but Kelly coaxed her to eat well! She gave Grace plenty of outdoor time as well as snuggles and attention. We love Kelly and our dog does too!”
“Shelby did a fantastic job boarding Talia! She provided daily updates with photos and videos, and she accommodated the extra care instructions that I requested. It was clear that Talia had a great time and felt right at home. We will definitely book with her again!”
“These folks are tremendous! They are so kind and attentive to each dog. Many photos and almost daily communications are sent to the "dog parents". They are attuned to any special needs a dog may have.”
“Ashley took such good care of our fur baby ❤️ She kept us updated throughout the stay and sent us pictures every time she could. Don’t hesitate to book with her and her family, they love animals and take good care of them. Such a great family! We will book again when needed, thank you! ❤️”
“I appreciated Dayjah being able to take Willie on short notice for 24 hours when I had to go out of town. He came back happy, and tired! The only glitch is that Willie didn’t take well to Dayjah’s cat, so she had to keep him separated from the kitty and that was probably an inconvenience for Dayjah! Willie apologizes and blames it on the fact that he’s a JRT, and the only other acceptable animals on the face of the planet are dogs. Ohhh, Willie… Thanks, Dayjah!”
