“Excellent host! Arrived very early in the morning for drop-off and arrived later at night for pick-up. Accommodating. Sent updates. And took care of my pup. Thank you!”
“Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with. My pup was in great hands and thoroughly enjoyed his stay. I was kept up to date of their adventures with texts and photos, and never doubted that my boy was in good hands. Sarah will be my first choice in the future. Im so glad to have someone to trust and rely on to take care of my pup. Thank you so much Sarah!”
“Leslie is our go-to dog sitter! She always makes sure our little fur baby is well cared for, and she always goes the extra mile to make her comfortable. We get lots of photos, so we always know what’s happening and feel confident that our doggie is in excellent hands.”
“Our dogs had a great time with Judith! They were very well taken care of and came back extremely happy. She is a great communicator and sent daily updates and photos. Would highly recommend her!”
“Mary was an excellent dogsitter for our old little man❤️ this was our first time working with Mary, but we are sure to come back!! Our dog is a sweetheart, but definitely has a lot of particular needs that Mary was willing to accommodate and work with. Mary sent us updates throughout the week we were gone and it made us feel at ease seeing him at ease with her. 10/10 would recommend to anyone needing loving and accomodating dog boarding care here in St Louis.”
“Stella had an amazing time with Ashlie and Phillip! They are very comfortable with large dogs and made me feel so at ease leaving my pet in their care. Their home is perfect with a fenced in backyard and the entire family is used to having dogs around. I received picture/updates and had a wonderful experience! I will definitely be using Ashlie and Phillip in the future!”
“Stephanie is the greatest! I unexpectedly had to leave Jake for an extended stay and she was willing to negotiate a longer term rate for us. Hip Hip Hooray for Stephanie!”
“5 star review! Reba is AWESOME! I felt very comfortable leaving my fur baby (Callie) with her. We did a meet-n-great which was really nice, my dog 100% loves being at her house. Loved the photos she sent throughout Callie's stay. Reba will definitely be my 1st choice the next time I need a dog sitter.”
About: I have regularly fostered dogs for the past five years and have worked with over 75 dogs and counting. I have so loved this experience meeting new friends of all breeds, needs, shapes and sizes and would love to meet your pup as well! I have even had the experience and privilege of taking puppies numerous times to the nursing home to meet with residents there, bringing with them their puppy joy and cheer. Please let me know if you have any questions, I am happy to help! Our family follows the school schedule during the week day, leaving at 8:15 and arriving home around 3:30pm. If needed, I can allow for one bathroom break mid day. There is a room officially dedicated in our house to the animals that I watch and foster. They would have this room all to themselves for when they come stay (no need to share with other pets!). There are pee pads and litter boxes also available if needed. Please see pictures of the room located under the sitter profile. I also have a crate available and an x pen if your furry friend prefers that. I have a fenced in front and back yard that has been visited and approved by the Humane Society.
“Katie's home was very welcoming to us and our Murray. We met Katie, her son, mom and sister at our meet & greet. A very friendly family, all dog lovers. Murray made himself at home immediately, checking out the new territory, and quickly found a playmated, Maggie. We had a comfortable feeling immediately with no concerns that Murray would be well taken care of. Katie will be our go-to-sitter if needed in the future. Murray seconds this decision. He enjoyed his vacation and slept for 2.5 days after coming home!”
“Margaret and Dustin took excellent care of our dog in their home! We appreciated the updates and pics. We could see that Mason enjoyed spending time with the kids. We would definitely book with them again.”
“Jackson was well cared for during his holiday stay ... we received regular videos and quick replies to any request for an update. We will be back again. Jackson says he had a great time.”
“We boarded our 1-year-old golden retriever with Viki and she had an absolute blast! We were given regular updates with cute photos and it was so evident Ellie was well-cared for and had the best time when she was there. I have sent Ellie twice to Viki’s and we are rest assured that Ellie will do wonderfully under her care. Despite all of the running around and playing in the wet mud, our cream dog returned to us as before! We are so thankful for her kindness and help! Would recommend a 100% for daycare or boarding services!”
“I have used Christine and David 3 or 4 times now and couldn’t be happier. My big boy has stranger danger and he loves going to hang out with them and their sweet dog Dory. They send tons of pictures to keep you informed. Message me with any questions or concerns. Couldn’t be happier with them caring for my big sweet boy. Thank you for everything!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have helped take care of our family dogs since I was a little kid. I’ve also helped care for a few friends’ dogs, so I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I work full time at chick fil a 5 days a week. I usually work mid shifts like 7-4, 8-5, 11-5 about 4 days a week and I always do some type of activity with my dog before I leave as well as feeding and letting him out. After I am always down to having fun with the pups! I have a fenced in backyard with one very playful, sweet pup who wants to be friends with every animal he meets! He’s very energetic so we are always going to the nearest park (which is basically right behind my house) or on a walk or playing in the yard! I also love to take the pups on a joy ride to get treats or just get some breeze!
“Jenna was great! She accepted my short notice request and we did a meet and greet to ensure our dog would get along with her cat, and it went well. She sent me updates and photos. Would definitely book with her again!”

“Brooke is a stellar pet sitter! She was very attentive to my cats behavior and provided a descriptive summary of her visit. She made me feel confident my pet received the best care possible while I was away.”
“What a wonderful first visit! You went above and beyond and I appreciated all the wonderful communication and of course, the adorable photos! Thank you so much! Looking forward to a continued relationship.”
“Natalee did an excellent job caring for our cat, Gordie 😽. She visited twice daily, provided fresh water and food, kept the litter pan clean and gave Gordie lots of attention. We highly recommend her for anyone needing a cat sitter.”
“Emily worked with me as my cat got a surprise diagnosis right before the sitting dates. 10/10 I can't recommend Emily enough for being flexible and caring towards Teddy and his brand new routine.”
“We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Nancy and Paul for our two cats! They kept us posted with great pictures during their drop-in visits, which made our vacation totally stress-free. We will definitely be booking with them again!”
About: I have several years of prior veterinary technician experience, and have worked with and/or pet sit cats of all kinds with many different needs. I have a very nurturing nature and am passionate about providing care for animals of all kind, which led me to pursue a PhD in Biology ( I study animal behavior.) 😊
“Evangeline took wonderful care of my 2 cats one of which has a daily medication. She was also very responsive and flexible with timing as we had to come home early due to weather.”
“Rebecca took good care of my two cats. I had specific feeding times due to the health of one of my cats and Rebecca arranged her schedule to accommodate. Everything was clean when we got home and the cats we happy. I could not ask for anything more.”
“Jenni was great! She was very attentive and happy to take care of all the needs of our dogs. She was reliable and punctual. She kept me in the loop after each visit which set my mind at ease. I really appreciated her time and TLC.”
“We had Mallory stay overnight at our house with our senior Persian. Before her stay, she came over for a meet and greet so everyone felt comfortable. It was apparent that she is a very kind and caring person. During her stay she kept us updated with how things were going and pictures. She cleaned up a couple of puking incidents and let us know that Marigold had in fact puked, had been sneezing and hadn’t had a bowel movement. These updates were truly appreciated and I was relieved she was paying attention to things that seemed out of the ordinary. Marigold routinely potties on potty pads and Mallory kept up with those changings which, in my opinion, is above and beyond kitty care. Additionally, Miss Marigold tends to yowl in the nights as she has aged and has reduced vision in one eye. Mallory was patient with those night time needs and brought her back to bed with her to comfort her. Overall, I appreciate the above and beyond care and I recommend her to anyone who has kitties!”
About: Furbabies have a special place in my heart, although I love all animals. I have taken care of various friend's and family member's pets including cats, dogs, bearded dragon, fish, and would be open to consider other types of animals depending on their needs and my availability. I will ensure clean water, food on time or as needed, and pristine litter areas are accessible.
“Charnell did an amazing job with our 2 cats! She responded quickly to my messages, sent updates and pictures, and I came home to happy kitties. I would definitely recommend Charnell for your pet care needs!”
About: Cats are majestic creatures! It’s the best when they choose you. I love making sure cats feel loved and safe. I have given medication to cats, and know how to change litter boxes and feed them!
“Tori is an absolutely fantastic sitter. I’ve never had someone who loved my cat as much as I do. She took very good care of him and gave him lots of attention and played with him on regular basis. I highly recommend her.”
“Bri made me feel so comfortable with leaving town knowing how much my kitty liked her at the meet and greet and the time she took to let me get to know her. She took excellent care of my senior kitty who gets very stressed when left alone and was more than happy to spend above and beyond time with her, giving her love and attention and even making sure her bird shows were on/sat with her during tv time which is my cats absolute favorite thing 😸. She had no problem staying the night so my kitty didn’t get stressed being all alone and was totally good with kitty sleeping above her head..:the highest compliment in kitty world. 😻 She took excellent care of the house and checked on plants as well per my request. She had no issue with changing potty pads which is an unusual request for cat sitting to say the least haha. She also kept me supplied with updates and pics to set my mind at ease. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone! 10/10”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Affton
“Vixie got so excited when she realized she was going to Jennifer’s this morning. She played so much and enjoyed the crisp fall weather outside. Will continue to have Vixie stay here when possible.”
“Sarah was outstanding! We were visiting from West Virginia and needed a sitter for our 2 dogs so we could spend the day in St Louis visiting the Arch and going to a Cardinals game. Sarah was the perfect sitter for us. She communicated everything to us and gave us pictures and updates. Her house clean and comfortable for the dogs and a great yard for them to play in. Her dog was friendly towards our dogs especially our little dog. I loved the detailed report she gave us after picking them up. If I am ever visiting St Louis again I would definitely use her again.”
“Viki very kindly hosted our 1-year-old golden for a day of daycare after our usual daycare person had to leave town urgently. We were so happy to get all the updates and photos of all the fun that Ellie was having at Viki’s place. She was all worn out and happy after a long day of running around and play. I am so glad that we were able to find Viki at the last minute and it turned out to be such a great choice! Can’t thank Viki enough for taking such good care of Ellie!”
“Nicole and Tim were so welcoming and so kind. It was Benny’s first time spending time away besides groomers and he had so much fun! The updates throughout the day really made us be at ease. We are so happy with his stay and will come back to Tim and Nicole when we are in town. 😊”
“Zinaida and her family were wonderful and loving. They took great care of my boys and took them on several walks throughout the day. She also sent me plenty of photos and videos. I also appreciated that she was flexible with time, and accomodated to my last-minute request. I highly recommend her for dog daycare and boarding!!”
About: Hi, I'm Katie, and I've been a lifelong dog lover! As a work-from-home mom with two older kids (17 and 20), our house is a bustling, loving environment. We have two friendly resident dogs who would love a temporary playmate. When your dog stays with us, they'll be treated like family. What Your Dog Gets: • Nearly Constant Supervision: Because I work from home, your pet will hardly ever be left alone and will get all the attention, cuddles, and care they could ever want or need. • Daily Exercise: I am committed to a daily walk with every dog I watch, ensuring they get the physical activity they need to stay happy and healthy. • Safe Play Area: We have a nice, securely fenced-in backyard perfect for supervised playtime and bathroom breaks. • Experienced Care: I've been around animals my entire life and have experience administering medication, including oral pills and topical treatments, so you can trust your pet's health needs will be met. My family and I can't wait to welcome your dog into our home for a fun, safe, and loving stay! Pet care is naturally part of my everyday life. Between my own dog, my kids, and the dogs I care for, our days revolve around walks, playtime, feeding, and snuggles. Since I work from home, I’m able to give plenty of attention throughout the day — morning walks, midday potty breaks, and evening playtime are just part of our normal routine Your pet’s safety and happiness mean everything to me! My home is clean, cozy, and pet-friendly, with a nice fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play and get some fresh air.
“TzuYu took great care of my dog! She gave very frequent updates & photos of my dog going on walks and playing with her and her dog. We already booked the next visit.”
“Katie was everything I needed and more! Very friendly, clean home/yard, and from all the adorable photos I could tell Echo was well loved. Looking forward to many more stays.”
“My dog Taku and I relocated here from Michigan recently. We have no family or friends here in Illinois. I was so stressed and anxious on what I will do with Taku while I’m at work or a long day or long weekend. Taku has separation anxiety where if he’s left alone, he will cry and bark the whole entire time. Then I found Jeena on Rover! She was so accommodating! She allowed Taku and I to come meet her and her cats to see if they all got along, before we booked her for a half day of day care. Taku did really well at her place! He felt comfortable and when I went to pick him up, he was happy and well taken care of. It seemed like he really loved her already and he gave her kisses goodbye! We will definitely be using Jeena again!! We feel so lucky to have found her!!!! Thanks Jeena and Rover!”
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have cared for everything from reptiles to rodents to larger 4-legged creatures. I spontaneously rescued a dog 20 years ago which ended up being one of the best decisions of my life. I spent 15 years with my little buddy exploring trails, taking car rides, lazily cuddling on the couch and having lots of one-way conversations. He unfortunately passed away a happy old man but during that time, taught me patience, dedication, playfulness and gave me a special appreciation for dogs. I have vast experience being around a variety of dogs of all shapes, sizes and personality types. I overall just enjoy being around dogs and caring for them (I'm definitely that guy asking strangers if I can pet their dog ). I look forward to sitting your animals and providing you a great service if we match. I work from home in an office setting during the week so I would be around the house most of the time to keep tabs on things and for backyard potty breaks (have a fenced in backyard). During the week, I would be available before 8:00am, during my lunch break and after 4:30pm for walks or to stop by your house for check-ins. On weekends, I am not working so I would be available all day. I live next to Tower Grove Park and enjoying spending time outside or walking in the park. I have a cozy home with a small fenced-in backyard that is perfect for small to medium sized dogs. My house is tidy, quiet and currently don’t have any pets, so my home is perfect dogs who prefer that kind of environment. I generally don’t need to leave the house too often so your pet would be hanging with me most of the time. When boarding, I am able to provide two 20 minute walks per day and as many backyard potty breaks as they need.
“Mary and her family took wonderful care of our six month old puppy Yumi! She was extremely accommodating trying to keep the puppies routine. She had great communication with my son Ryan and she truly incorporated YUMI into her family. I highly recommend her as a daycare provider and as a boarder she is wonderful !”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was 5 years old. In high school, I was the one people called to watch their pets when out of town. At 18, I got my first non family dog and self trained her for the AKC good citizen test. At that point I became the friend everyone called to help train their dogs. I have fostered bottle babies all the way to senior animals with complex medical needs. I also have experience working with reactive and fearful dogs. I am also experienced in dispensing medication. My current dog has a spinal condition and gets medication twice daily. My soul dog was in palliative care for the last five months of her life and I learned a lot about basic canine first aid. My current dog has traveled with me extensively. He’s been to 13 states and roadtrips with me through Mexico. I think there is a care plan for every animal. I look forward to treating your pet like they are part of the family. I work full time from home, but have a very flexible daytime schedule. I am able to take breaks as often as needed with no issue. I currently walk my dog at 5am and 10pm to avoid daytime heat and give him bathroom breaks every 2-4 hours. I learned a long time ago that routine is best for most pets. My dog does for two 45 minute walks a day, and meals twice a day. When hosting another pup, your pups schedule will be continued. Even if it’s different from my dogs. They will be fed and crated separately. If your dog is less social I have plenty of space to keep the pups separate, if needed. When dog sitting in your home, my dog will head to do board and train lessons or stay with a friend. My routine will shift to match what your dog is used to.
“Reema was amazing! Her pup and mine played so well together, it was the perfect play date! She also sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. I would trust Reema to watch our girl again in a heartbeat ☺️”
About: We've had dogs in our lives since we were small children. We currently have an older beagle mix who sleeps a lot and a Rough Collie who basically runs the house. We have a large fenced backyard with a dog door and after work, we take our pups walking on Grant's Trail or just around our neighborhood every day. I return from work between 3pm and 3:30pm every day. I take the dogs for a walk on Grant's Trail on most non-rainy days around 4pm. On weekends, I'm around most of the day and take walks as well. We have a fenced backyard and a dog door. Our Rough Collie loves to lay outside in the sun during the day while we're at work and watch people walk by. Our other dog sleeps most of the time.
“Julie was a life saver! We were stood up by our original sitter, and she took Yuna in last minute. It felt reassuring to leave Yuna with her. Even though it was just for the afternoon, it seemed she got along with Julie's dogs and was exercised enough to have her sleep all throughout our road trip back home! Also kept us updated with pictures which was great.”
About: Hi! I’m Hannah—a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to a sweet 9-year-old fur baby who’s taught me all about patience, routines, and unconditional love. I know how personal it feels to trust someone with your pet and your home, and I treat both with great care and respect. I offer in-home drop-in visits and walks to keep your fur babies happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine. From fun walks, to belly rubs, I bring calm energy, lots of love, and attention to the little things—so you can come home to a relaxed, happy pup I’m here to keep your fur family happy, comfy, and loved while you’re away 💕🐾 I work from home 3 - 4 days a week. I will never accept a sitting job if I can’t stay with them all day! I love bringing my laptop outdoors and allowing the animals to play and run around. On days when I go into work (always Tuesdays) I’m available for morning and evening walks I take my fur baby to K9 Garden at least once a week. I’d love for yours to join us for some fun in the sun! I am experienced in providing medications and using crates if necessary. The most important thing is that everyone is safe and your pup goes hope happy (and tired!) I am happy to accommodate your pet however you feel is right!
“My pup did daycare with Raini for 2 days. Everything went great and he was a happy pup! She has a great fenced in backyard for dogs and she sent lots of pictures and videos. This was our first experience using Rover and it was a good one.”

“Gabrielle walked my mom’s two rowdy border terriers for several weeks multiple times a week. She always showed up on time, was courteous and respectful and was great with the dogs. She was also very communicative. She always sent a photo and let us know how many times they peed and pooped. Thank you, Gabrielle!”
“Suli is on time, communicative and knows exactly the right questions to ask. She's reliable for a pop-in or house-sitting an animal house and she is so great about sharing pictures which is always reassuring.”
About: I grew up with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. At one point I was taking care of 3 dogs. Currently helping my roommate train her small dogs! I am able to care for pets most nights and weekends! Can stay overnight or make a quick stop for potty breaks, walks, and lovings. I keep a relatively strict feeding schedule but know when to throw in some extra treats for fun. I do my best to exercise with pets and get their energy out in a safe manner.
“Katie was incredible, she was flexible, prompt , timely communications and such a joy to work with. We will be absolutely utilizing her services over and over again. Aero our dog love Katie and that says a lot , she was able to not only manage a hyper active doodle that gets spooked by strangers but she was so patient and supportive. Thank you you certainly set the bar high!”
About: Worked at horse barns for 3 years. Taken care of my brothers ranch, or inside pets for other family members while on vacation. Also grew up with a large variety of animals! I’m in college but I am willing to house sit with your animals since it is most convenient for me - unless your address is too far away my usual routine. We can compare schedules to see if I am a good fit! I can be trusted to follow your usual safety measures at your own home. I respect any house boundaries with your personal space and boundaries with your pet! Trust is such an important aspect of letting someone into your own space and taking care of your fur babies.
About: Growing up, there was never a time when there wasn’t a dog in the house, and I have been a cat mom for going on five years, so I am very understanding of the care that comes with each animal. Additionally, I have experience with puppies/kittens all the way to senior pets and know that each require personalized care (and I have no problem giving it). As an added bonus, I live with my partner, who also is a dog dad and everyday he gives his dog daily vitamins to stay happy and healthy. Plus he used to work at a wild life rehabilitation center, so he is very familiar with how to care for all animals, regardless of species, age or health. I work a hybrid schedule and currently have every other Friday off so I have plenty of time to care for your best friend. My work also allows employees to bring their dogs to work, if it’s something you’re comfortable with, I would love to show off your doggo! I am available for drop off/pickup anytime on weekends and after 5pm on weekdays. Plus my partner is a graduate student, so he comes home throughout the day to care for his own dog. I have a fenced in yard, so there are no worries when it comes to potty or play. Plus, I live with a very playful dog who can’t wait to spend time with your doggo! I also have a cat who is very tolerant of dogs (she probably won’t play, but doesn’t mind their presence). She is also very comfortable around other cats, she’s a tad shy so another playmate will probably do her some good!
About: I love dogs and animals of all kinds. I am currently at home full-time. I have a 6 year old small Terrier mix dog of my own named Pascal, who is very friendly and playful with other dogs. We love to play fetch, play chase, play with toys, and snuggle. I am very active as well, so your dog will get plenty of walks and exercise. I would love to help out with your dog while you are away and will treat him or her as my own! I am happy to help with dogs of any age or breed and provide potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, love, and attention. I look forward to caring for your fur baby! I'm currently working from home full-time, so I have a flexible schedule for letting your dog out. I give my own dog potty breaks every 3-4 hours, walk him 1-2 miles daily, we play daily, and I take him for outing to coffee shops and parks. I am happy to travel to your home to take your dog out for walks or for play sessions. I will make sure your dog is safe and secure on the leash when walking! If it's too hot for your pup in the summer, we can stay inside and play fetch to get some activity.

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and ages since I was 14, and I truly love spending time with animals. I can also administer any medications your pet might need — I know how important their health is! I work a 9–5 desk job, so I make it a goal to walk every day to hit my 10k steps and having a furry walking buddy makes it way more fun. I’m also working on paying off some student loans, so Rover is a great way for me to do something I enjoy while earning a little extra. I’d love to meet your pet and give them the care and attention they deserve! Pet care is a meaningful part of my everyday routine. I work a 9–5 desk job, so spending time with animals — whether it’s evening check-ins, after work walks or weekend visits — is the perfect way to stay active, unwind, and do something I genuinely enjoy. I make it a priority to hit my step goal daily, and having a furry companion by my side makes those walks even better. Caring for pets adds balance to my day and gives me a chance to connect with animals. I always strive to make your pets as comfortable as possible. I pay special attention to your pets needs and make sure they are having fun even when their parents are away!
About: Our house is home to a dog loving couple. We grew up with family pets that needed outdoor adventures and have been hosts to pups large and small, puppies and much older puppies.

About: Just a dog mom and passionate animal lover with a dream of spoiling every fur baby in STL. I own a large, reactive senior dog that is my pride and joy so I’m well versed in reactive dogs with spicy personalities. Disclaimer: I’m a physician with unpredictable hours but I know my schedule months in advance so we’ll work together to find a good routine. I will always be transparent if I can’t provide the care needed due to time constraints. I’m comfortable with dogs of any size, age, or medical needs and cats are more than welcome to join the gang ! My schedule varies due to switching between clinic and hospital rotations every month. I’m usually available in the evenings and weekends. I know my schedule months in advance so will depend on what service you're looking for and what dates Unfortunately, my dog is not friendly with other animals so I cannot provide boarding. I can only offer house sitting if able to alternate between my home and yours
About: I have been pet sitting for neighbors and family friends over the summer for years now. I love pets of all sizes and breeds and I’ll treat them like my own. I am home for the summer looking for a way to make money for school and what better way than being surrounded by the cutest fur babies! I have morning and midday availability throughout the week, but I am available on Sunday mornings or Mondays. I work nights for a prospect league baseball team while I’m home but aside from that my top priority will be your companions! I have two sweet pups of my own that I take for walks, feed, and cuddle with. I am willing to do lots of services and will keep them entertained.

“Excellent host! Arrived very early in the morning for drop-off and arrived later at night for pick-up. Accommodating. Sent updates. And took care of my pup. Thank you!”
“My pups had a great time with Jennifer. Her backyard is fenced but beware it is not very tall. My weim would have easily jumped it but Jennifer found a way to tether him and still play with the other dogs!”
“Ali was great with our Tucker he is 3months still learning everything as he grows this was our first time using Rover , and we are very pleased, she was not only so kind and humble with us and Tuck but her communication is awesome she sent updates and lots of pictures which we loved so much. I had to extend 1 extra night due to our flight and she was nothing but great and understanding with me I’m so grateful for her and her daughter Tucker was in great hands! Made our few day trip less stressful we no worries!”
“Everything went perfectly. Blossom was made to feel a part of the family, well cared for, given lots of attention and love, and the best possible choice for boarding my precious little dog.”
About: I have regularly fostered dogs for the past five years and have worked with over 75 dogs and counting. I have so loved this experience meeting new friends of all breeds, needs, shapes and sizes and would love to meet your pup as well! I have even had the experience and privilege of taking puppies numerous times to the nursing home to meet with residents there, bringing with them their puppy joy and cheer. Please let me know if you have any questions, I am happy to help! Our family follows the school schedule during the week day, leaving at 8:15 and arriving home around 3:30pm. If needed, I can allow for one bathroom break mid day. There is a room officially dedicated in our house to the animals that I watch and foster. They would have this room all to themselves for when they come stay (no need to share with other pets!). There are pee pads and litter boxes also available if needed. Please see pictures of the room located under the sitter profile. I also have a crate available and an x pen if your furry friend prefers that. I have a fenced in front and back yard that has been visited and approved by the Humane Society.
“Elizabeth took such great care of Finley! She wrapped her up in a blanket when she noticed Finley getting scared of a thunderstorm. Her dog Lorax was also so sweet. They have a lovely home with a nice backyard. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“Kelsey was so good to my nervous little girl over the holiday weekend! She sent regular updates and photos. Obviously understands dogs’ needs and emotional lives which was very important for me.”
“Blake took excellent care of my extra large dog! He sent videos every day and gave him the same care he would have gotten at home! Grateful for a great place for my pup to vacation while I was on vacation!”
“We boarded our 1-year-old golden retriever with Viki and she had an absolute blast! We were given regular updates with cute photos and it was so evident Ellie was well-cared for and had the best time when she was there. I have sent Ellie twice to Viki’s and we are rest assured that Ellie will do wonderfully under her care. Despite all of the running around and playing in the wet mud, our cream dog returned to us as before! We are so thankful for her kindness and help! Would recommend a 100% for daycare or boarding services!”
“I have used Christine and David 3 or 4 times now and couldn’t be happier. My big boy has stranger danger and he loves going to hang out with them and their sweet dog Dory. They send tons of pictures to keep you informed. Message me with any questions or concerns. Couldn’t be happier with them caring for my big sweet boy. Thank you for everything!”
“In addition to giving excellent care to our dog, Stephanie did a great job administering our dog’s medicines and keeping him on his restricted diet. We would definitely recommend Stephanie.”
“Shelly was amazing! I highly recommend her to watch your dog! She took him on walks, sent videos and pics. She is truly an animal lover and treats your pets like her own! Don't think twice about booking her! ;)”
“Brian and Abigail are so kind and caring with my dog! Their family has watched him two times now and they treat him as their own. They send frequent videos and photos of him throughout the day! Their kindness and attention makes me trust them fully and I hope to continue booking with them. Their family is so sweet and caring and I would highly recommend them!!”
About: The doggy door is the best thing about my place — your dog decides when to be outside, into a fully fenced yard. My young goldendoodle will happily play all day. Nights are crated unless your dog does better otherwise; I'll match whatever they're used to. I work full-time, mostly in the office. But my kitchen has a doggy door leading to a fully fenced backyard, so your dog can come and go as they please all day. I also have a 1.5-year-old doodle who gets along well with other dogs and is happy to play or nap, depending on the mood. Evenings and weekends, we walk the neighborhood, play fetch in the backyard, or head to a park or dog café for some socializing. Treats and cuddles to end the day. A fenced yard and a built-in doodle playmate to keep your fur baby company. I crate at night- let me know if your dog isn't used to that. I feed twice a day and give treats throughout, or whatever schedule you'd like, just tell me what your dog is used to.
“Rachael was amazing with our dog! She kept us updated and followed all instructions. Would recommend to anyone who wants their dog in safe hands while they are out of town.”
“Evan and Kaleigh are amazing! I was delayed on the drop off day. They were so patient and encouraged me to take my time getting there. We received pictures and updates throughout the duration of our vacation and were playing with the dogs when I picked them up. My pups were so well taken care of that they barely greeted me, which I took as a great sign! Thank you Evan and Kaleigh for giving us the peace of mind during our vacation!”
“10/10 would recommend! I traveled from out of state on short notice, and she was happy to help. Large fenced in back yard for outside play time. Sent pictures of their adventures (walks). Is easy to communicate with. We will hopefully stay again soon.”
“Davey has been excellent with Clifford! He's been a lifesaver for me while I'm going through a difficulty and am needing some last-minute dog boarding. Clifford is excited when he gets to go back and seems to be very well taken of! I would definitely recommend Davey to my friends/family!!”
