About: I have taken care of dogs since I was just 7 years old. My passion is caring for others. I know how to work with dogs with emotional and behavioral issues. I know how to handle dogs even big dogs that pull on the leash. I can help keep training consistent. I run a home daycare and help care for my mom and homeschool my autistic 16 yo son. So I have a lot of time, room and love to give your doggies. I do have a dog and 2 cats of my own that don't get along so I have to switch out their living room social time and will ensure your animals has some social time as well. I am able to care for 3 more dogs at a time. I have a large basement with an unfinished room that I put a baby gate up for the door and I have 2 kennels. If I have 3 dogs at once I will rotate the dogs out to make sure that one does not have to stay in a kennel too long. I will ensure your doggy always has food and water available and frequent bathroom breaks with plenty of love and social time. I have a semi big yard with a 20 foot tie down lead to ensure your dog has enough room to run around but won't get away. I also have a small plastic kiddie pool I fill up for the doggies to get in and enjoy!
“Cheyanne and her boys were amazing! We left our 7 year old golden doodle Chuck in their care. We were so nervous leaving him behind while we went on a Christmas roadtrip and Cruise, but knew it was necessary. Cheyenne sent videos and pictures while we traveled and even when we're not accessible. When we were able to use our phones again a video of them singing him Happy Birthday. My face lit up! If ever I need someone to look after Chuck I will go directly to Cheyanne. I highly recommend this family to take help care for your pets when you need to get away.”
“She always takes great care of my fur baby! Her and her family are wonderful. She keeps me updated, and I know my pup feels right at home with her and her family! Ms. Derrika is the best!”
“I can't thank Gail and Dog Vacay enough!! Right from the meet and greet I knew I had picked the best. Our 12 year old Aussie/Collie mix Sydney felt so at home immediately. Gail's comfortable home let Sydney keep up with her daily pastimes: sleeping on the sofa and looking out the window! :) Sydney takes daily meds which were administered with no problem. Gail sent updates and even pictures to us that made my vacation more relaxed too. Gail's other little border gave Sydney a fun friend. I'm not sure Sydney wanted us to come home! Gail is a teriffic lady and was a great surrogate mom for Sydney. Thanks again- Christine B.”
“Shannon was great! We got multiple pictures and updates through the weekends. She has a great, dog friendly home, even for our 12 year old lab. We will definitely use her again.”
“Nicole was wonderful! She provided excellent communication throughout our trip and sent photos, which gave me great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was well cared for, and having fun. In fact, when he came home, he cried because he missed his new friends and the environment he had grown so attached to. We couldn’t ask for a better indication of how happy and comfortable he was in her care. Highly recommend!”
“Awesome boarding family. Anne went above and beyond for my untamed puppy. She had all types of activities for him and a family of fur babies that welcomed my little one with opened arms. Highly recommend!”
“Our doggies had a great stay with Seth and Sumer. This was our first time using Rover and Seth and Sumer made it a great experience. I was glad not to have to leave my dogs at a kennel. They kept us updated with picture and about how the dogs were doing. They gave our dogs the care they needed, exercise, lots of fun and cuddles! Thank you so much!!”
“We appreciated the photos, videos & texts from Olga while Jojo was in her care. It was obvious our pup was having a fun time playing with other dog(s) & with Olga & her daughter.”
“Lona & Alan took phenomenal care of our precious goldendoodle! They loved her like she was their own and really made sure they were respectful of our wishes for our dog’s care. I loved getting pictures and videos of our pup throughout her stay and she was clearly happy and well loved! My only concern with them watching our dog is if my dog would want to come with me after such an amazing time 😂 (which she did thankfully 😁). They were amazing to our dog and very trustworthy! Amazing experience ❤️”
“Taylor was great! She was very responsive and did such a great job taking care of Harold! She was very flexible with her drop off and pick up schedule, which was very much appreciated. I would definitely have her watch my dog again.”
“Dominic and his team at home took great care of Maddie. She came home worn out from all the playing with the other dogs. They have a great yard for outdoor playtime and plenty of beds all around (and a lap or two).”
“Bridget did an excellent job taking care of our pups. She had great communication with us and updated with pictures daily. Loved how she already had the kennels so we didn’t need to bring ours. Big back yard, smaller dog environment, and great area.”
“This was our fist time boarding our dogs. They did great and loved Joseph. He made them feel comfortable right away. They came back happy and tired. Would definitely recommend Joseph.”

In warm weather we even bring out a splash pad for dogs who enjoy cooling off. Inside the home, dogs are part of the family during the day and sleep comfortably in their own individual night pens with beds and toys for a peaceful evening routine. Because this is a small home environment, we typically host only 2–3 guest dogs at a time, allowing us to give each dog plenty of attention and supervision.

Guest dogs join our calm daily small-dog household routine with supervised backyard playtime, indoor relaxation, naps, cuddles, and social interaction throughout the day. I keep my guest list intentionally small so each dog receives close supervision and personal attention in a comfortable home environment. Moonbabies Little Lodge is designed specifically for friendly small dogs. Dogs enjoy supervised play in a secure fenced backyard and are introduced gradually to maintain a calm group dynamic. Guest dogs are monitored closely and separated if needed for rest, meals, or quiet time. Overnight, dogs sleep safely in cozy individual pens with their own bedding, food, and water.

“Amanda is fantastic! Super reliable and goes above and beyond. She was even willing to learn how to give my diabetic kitty his insulin, so I know my cat is in good hands when I book with her. Would highly recommend her if youre looking for a cat sitter to trust with your babies :)”

When we got home there was a handwritten card and toys left for our cats, that was such a thoughtful touch and honestly made our day. We’d absolutely rebook and would recommend them to anyone! :)”
“Katie always gives the best care to our cats, including giving medicine to our two special needs cats. She is highly recommended by us for her promptness, dependability and care.”

My cats are indoor only cats so a lot of play time is always necessary things that stimulate their prey drive and allow them to expel excess energy are always important
“Maddie was outstanding with my two cats. In the past I have kenneled them locally, and they have not done well. They would not eat, and were very stressed out due to the change in environment. Both cats are generally introverts, but they did come out and interact with Maddie when she made her visits. She also sent pictures and reported on how they were eating Will definitely utilize Maddie again when I travel! I would highly recommend Maddie!”

About: For most of my life I have owned a dog and for all of my life I have loved dogs! As I kid, I helped care for my family dog, Dexter, until he was 17 years old. Currently, my wife and I have a 28 lb. Beagle/Lab mix Riley. She's such a joy in our lives. I know how important your dog is to you, so I will care for yours like she/he is mine, with lots of love, playtime, walks and great care. Now that I’m a stay-at-home dad I have so much more time to spend with Riley and you’re dog, too! From young puppies to seniors, I have cared for a wide range of sizes, needs, and breeds. Each dog requires special care and I am here to provide just that. I am willing to make most requests and special accommodations. Ask and I will let you know if I can meet your needs. In addition to walking and visiting with your dog, communication and updates are important services that I provide. When I am away from my pet, I want to know she's okay and receiving the best care. I'll send as many or as little photos of your fur baby as you'd like, so you can confidently know that she/he is being take care of; the photos will also give you a little smile to get you through the day. We also have a 9 year old cat, Moby. He keeps to himself and his cat tree on most days, but we occasionally receive some lap visits from him.

About: I have had dogs in my family since I was a child and have years of experience with various breeds. I work from home most days and happy to get active with the doggos. I have a loving a cuddly home and treat all my fur guests as family. As someone with a senior dog, I am very patient and know how to accommate the additional needs some pets may have. With my flexible work from home schedule, I am able to be home during the week, to take your dog out for walks, potty breaks, cuddle, and to play. I am also available on weekends. With the exclusion of running errands, while your dog is with me, they will never be left alone for more than a few hours extended amount of time. I have a fenced in back yard for your dog to run free in. I also have a senior chihuahua who is very chill and unbothered, so as long as your dog likes other dogs, they will get along just fine. I do let dogs sit on the couch and get on the bed, however, I will respect that boundary if you do not allow that for your pets. I know all families have different schedules for potty and feeding times, and my schedule is flexible so I can keep your dog on track even while you are gone.

About: I have been raising and training puppies and dogs my entire life, starting from the time I could walk. I also have extensive experience working with horses and dairy cows. I have structured my life in such a way that I am home 90% of the time, so it makes pet care very easy for me to do. I care for pets in my home and/or my client’s home by being intentional with the time I spend with them (they have my full attention), providing a loving & playful presence.
“Derrika is FANTASTIC!!! She and her family are so incredibly friendly, kind and warm hearted. On the first day that Yogi (my doggo) was there he warmed up immediately - this was so easy for him as he knows & trusts great people. I got several lovely pictures - one of which was Yogi on her couch resting his head on her son’s legs. Yogi doesn’t do this unless he is very chill. You & your doggo will be grateful that you found her!!”
“Christine and family were great with my Beagle mix Waylon for a quick weekend boarding. Timely updates and plenty of pictures. Thank you so much!”
“My babies absolutely love going to doggy daycare at Sharon and Mike's! They always come home exhausted and happy. If you have small dogs, do yourself (and your pocketbook) a favor and use Sharon for daycare and boarding instead of an expensive pet resort or vet!”
“Shawn was wonderful with my pup! He was able to watch him super last minute and was so flexible with all the arrangements! Harry enjoyed his time hanging out with Shawn and making an new puppy bestie! I will definitely reach out again for any future needs for Harry or his brothers! Thank you so much!”
About: I have a stay at home job where my hours are very flexible. I do have visits with clients that can last 1-3 hours but if I know that I’m caring for your dog I will do my very best to not schedule two visits in a day! I will spend lots of quality time with your dog and make sure it is getting more than enough love and care that it needs! I work in social work, so I usually have 2-3 visits per week that last between 1-3 hours. Other than that, and the other activities I spend my time doing, I will give your dog so much love when I am home! I am rarely ever gone for more than 3 hours at a time. I am available any day of the week on a normal week. I live at an apartment complex, but we are only on the second floor, have a good amount of space, and our complex even has a dog park!
About: I have been taking care of my dog since a pup(6 weeks) and shes 10 years old now. I have taught her some tricks such as shaking hands, sitting, and laying down.

I have a good size fenced back yard. I also have a furnished basement for hot or cold days since my backyard has limited shade. I can crate your dog or cat if needed.

About: I’ve been known through my family and friends as a “dog whisperer”, and have had dogs in my care all my life! I’ve owned and taken care of my own senior dog for years, and am currently working with my new puppy. I have detailed experience with elderly dogs and dogs with medical needs. I can administer medications involving needles, and fulfill special food requests. Currently, I am a university student and I have a small part time job.

About: I have worked as a kennel attendant and day care supervisor.

I’m currently working full time, but am looking to care for pets before and after my shift at my job. I am available in the mornings and evenings.

About: I work in nursing and I love animals just as I love people I’ve been taking care of animals often on for the past six years. I’ve been in nursing for 10. I love spending time with animals especially my fur babies. I work overnights two days a week in a hospital, so I’m very flexible. It helps because I make my own schedule and I have my schedule out in advance. i also love going on trial walks and dog parks to let the fur babies run off that energy and have fun . I try to stick to a routine and keep them on schedule, of course show them love and affection as well. I keep them safe by being aware of my surroundings, and just interacting with them
About: I am blessed with a sweet boy of my own and have had dogs in the house growing up. I have always had a natural touch with animals. For instance, my neighbor has a Saint Bernard who is not sure of humans in general but especially human males, however this dog becomes a giant puppy when I come around. I am a full time student doing school online so pet care can be done anytime in the mornings and afternoons and on any day except for Sundays. I have a fenced in yard at home, though I keep a watchful eye on my dog when he is outside. While inside, I keep anything that might catch his eye out of reach, and make sure he is always properly entertained. This happens to be easy for my dog since he loves antlers to chew on.
About: As an ER vet med worker, I understand that pets deserve to be treated with care and compassion. I have worked in the field for over 4 years and have experience with an array of behaviors and sizes. I own a german shepherd who is quite reactive, so I have special interests in caring for reactive and hard to handle pets. I do german style training with my own dog, and love to focus on obedience training. I am comfortable giving a variety of medications as needed and providing the best care for your fur babies. I work at an emergency veterinary hospital, so I do pet sitting on the side. I am familiar with the different lifestyle needs for each pet and willing to accommodate and provide:) Being a veterinary worker and student, I am very knowledgeable on pet care, illnesses, and many other aspects. I have cared for many pets in critical situations. I have a true passion for ensuring the best care for pets- physically and mentally!
About: My name is Madeline Leonard. I am experienced with all breeds and sizes of dogs and cats and have been caring for them since I was a young child. I worked at a boarding and daycare facility for 5 years and was animal safety and care certified. I am also comfortable giving a wide variety of medications. I work remotely 3/5 days a week and love caring for dogs and cats. I care deeply about making sure they get the best care possible and have lots of fun while their owners are away. It’s important to me that people are able to enjoy their time away without needing to worry about their furry loved ones. Don’t hesitate to contact for more information. I work remotely 3/5 days a week so I am available for boarding Thursday-Tuesday. If your pet is comfortable being left in a crate during a normal work day, I am open to boarding on Wednesdays and Thursdays as well. I have a large fenced in back yard and 3 dogs of my own. My largest is shared with my parents so is frequently not at my house, but all three are friendly and neutral with other dogs. I have several baby gates set up within my home to keep my pets separate from guests until proper introductions can be done and everyone is comfortable with each other.

“Cheyanne and her boys were amazing! We left our 7 year old golden doodle Chuck in their care. We were so nervous leaving him behind while we went on a Christmas roadtrip and Cruise, but knew it was necessary. Cheyenne sent videos and pictures while we traveled and even when we're not accessible. When we were able to use our phones again a video of them singing him Happy Birthday. My face lit up! If ever I need someone to look after Chuck I will go directly to Cheyanne. I highly recommend this family to take help care for your pets when you need to get away.”
“Shannon was great! We got multiple pictures and updates through the weekends. She has a great, dog friendly home, even for our 12 year old lab. We will definitely use her again.”
“Awesome boarding family. Anne went above and beyond for my untamed puppy. She had all types of activities for him and a family of fur babies that welcomed my little one with opened arms. Highly recommend!”
“Our doggies had a great stay with Seth and Sumer. This was our first time using Rover and Seth and Sumer made it a great experience. I was glad not to have to leave my dogs at a kennel. They kept us updated with picture and about how the dogs were doing. They gave our dogs the care they needed, exercise, lots of fun and cuddles! Thank you so much!!”
“We appreciated the photos, videos & texts from Olga while Jojo was in her care. It was obvious our pup was having a fun time playing with other dog(s) & with Olga & her daughter.”
“Lona & Alan took phenomenal care of our precious goldendoodle! They loved her like she was their own and really made sure they were respectful of our wishes for our dog’s care. I loved getting pictures and videos of our pup throughout her stay and she was clearly happy and well loved! My only concern with them watching our dog is if my dog would want to come with me after such an amazing time 😂 (which she did thankfully 😁). They were amazing to our dog and very trustworthy! Amazing experience ❤️”
“Taylor was great! She was very responsive and did such a great job taking care of Harold! She was very flexible with her drop off and pick up schedule, which was very much appreciated. I would definitely have her watch my dog again.”
“Dominic and his team at home took great care of Maddie. She came home worn out from all the playing with the other dogs. They have a great yard for outdoor playtime and plenty of beds all around (and a lap or two).”
“This was our fist time boarding our dogs. They did great and loved Joseph. He made them feel comfortable right away. They came back happy and tired. Would definitely recommend Joseph.”
“Shawn was great to work with! He sent pics and I know our dog had a fun time staying over. He has a great fenced in yard and I can tell he has a lot of experience with dogs. We would definitely book with him again.”
“Great first experience in here. Mya gave Amazing care and communication! Expect daily pics and updates of your puppies happy and healthy. She made sure to learn what my dogs needed and made sure they we’re adequately entertained and comfortable.”
“Outlaw and Lola were well taken care of and had a great staycation. They made me feel at ease and treated the pups like family. Thanks for that. It’s important to me and the only way I can enjoy my time off. We will be back.”
“Amanda was great! This is was the first time using Rover and was such a seamless process. She sent pics and updates throughout the time which reassured Kodiak was in good hands!”
“Ben and Cassie were fantastic! They sent pictures and updates each day and truly allowed Nellie to be a part of the family for a week. Thank you!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Jaqueline! From the start she gave me total peace of mind with her constant updates, pictures, and the sweetest little texts about my boys. She truly took the time to understand their personalities. They weren’t just watched, they were treated like the short kings they are and welcomed into her home like family. I could see how much love and attention they all gave them, and it was clear they felt comfortable and happy every step of the way. I am beyond grateful we found her. She gave them VIP treatment, definitely booking again, we got really lucky finding her! ❤️”
