Right from the start, I felt Elsa would get all the love, attention and care she would need. And I was right. Great environment for a dog. Capable family involvement. Solid communication with me. I was a bit apprehensive at first because Elsa is a rambunctious big puppy, but she came back mellower than when I dropped her off! I recommend Esther for dog care.

Rachael was very sweet and accommodating. We were able to bring our dogs over to meet her and her family, which really put me at ease. I knew upon leaving, that she would absolutely treat our fur babies like her own. She even sent pictures and texts to let us know how Lily and Kramer were doing. Absolutely a YES for a return visit, as she said they were good AND were welcomed back. ?

Vanessa was fantastic with Twig and Lily. This was only the third time we've left them anywhere since we brought them home, and the first time using Rover, so I was so nervous they'd be miserable and anxiety-ridden bark monsters the whole weekend. I am so pleased with how she and her family treated and cared for our dogs. Vanessa sent pictures and kept open communication with me, which was SO reassuring. As it turns out, my nervous little dogs had a great time! I can't say enough nice things about our experience!

We met Mary and her husband before we left our dog, Katie, with them. They are very nice, friendly people, and Mary is especially knowledgeable about dogs, first aid, etc. This made us feel comfortable leaving our nervous dog with them. They have 3 adorable dogs and a beautiful cat, and Mary introduced each dog to ours separately, so Katie wouldn't get too overwhelmed. Mary sent us pictures and updates, which we really appreciated. We feel that Katie was well taken care of, and wouldn't hesitate to bring her here again!

About: I grew up around a variety of different animals and adored each and every one of them. From the time I was 10 I was taught how to care for pets of all kinds (from Bunnies to horses). My family took in senior dogs and gave them a home to be loved in for as long as we could. I have also raised 3 well behaved dogs from puppy hood (they do not live with me any longer) I work from home, for myself. Other than appointments for both me and my fur babies I have nothing really going on during the week. I am very flexible and can accommodate almost any temperament and personality your beloved pet may have. If we are in your home, I will want to know what the schedule you follow is so I can try and stick with it. If your pet is staying overnight, I will ask you to bring enough of their food, one or two toy(s) they adore and a comfort item like a blanket they've had for a while so they can be comfortable in my home with me

About: I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and raising animals, which has taught me patience, responsibility, and an understanding of different personalities and needs. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. What sets me apart is the genuine bond I build with animals and my dedication to their happiness, whether that means playtime, walks, or simply giving them the attention they deserve. Caring for pets is already a part of my daily routine. Between feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping up with my own dogs, I’m used to giving animals structure and attention every single day. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening walks, pets are always the center of my schedule. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable space where they feel welcomed as part of the family. I stick to regular feeding schedules, provide plenty of playtime and walks, and give lots of love and attention. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their routines as closely as possible, whether mealtime, walks, or bedtime, so pets feel secure and stress-free. My goal is to always create consistency, comfort, and trust.

About: I'm looking forward to providing quality loving care for YOUR beloved canine! I am a small animal Certified Veterinary Technician with over 15 years of clinical experience. I have expanded my services to include dog sitting due to an increased demand for compassionate caregivers with medical knowledge. Many people are reluctant to leave their dogs at boarding kennels while traveling, particularly senior dogs and those with medical problems. Many dogs also experience high levels of stress while boarding. I provide an alternative to the traditional kennel experience by providing care out of my own home. Dogs that stay as guests in my home are provided with lots of individual attention. They are not locked in kennels, instead having free access to my home and yard. As an experienced Veterinary Technician I am also capable of caring for dogs with a broad range of medical issues, including Diabetes, Cushing's, Addison's, Epilepsy, Cancer, animals recovering from recent surgery, and more. Should your pet require emergency medical care, I am trained in animal CPR and live 5 minutes away from the clinic at which I practice. I care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. There are however, a few prerequisites to ensure that your dog will have a safe, happy stay in my care. Firstly, I an unable to care for dogs that have a history of aggression toward other dogs, or toward human adults or children. No exceptions. Secondly, dogs in my care must be current on Rabies and Distemper vaccinations. I also require proof of a negative fecal sample performed within 1 year prior to their stay if regular dewormings are done (i.e. year-round HeartGard). Dogs that are not regularly dewormed must have a fecal check done within 1 month prior to their stay, or perform a deworming treatment within 1 month prior. Puppies must be fully house trained. Rachel B. Certified Veterinary Technician I treat pets like family! Dogs who stay in my home are given lots of playtime and attention. I try to keep routines similar to what they are used to at their own home. Dogs are fed separately for safety but otherwise have free range of the home. I am an experienced animal nurse and well equipped to handle an emergency if one should arise!

At first I was a little hesitant at booking her due to a bad review but I listened to my gut and I couldn't be happier! She took care of my baby Archie just how I wished. I would definitely book her again. I'm not sure where the other reviewer is coming from, absolute nonsense. I would trust McKenzie with my baby over and over again.
