“Lindsey definitely deserves a 5 star rating for her sitting services. Lindsey, her husband, and their 3 fur babies offer a welcoming and comfortable environment for their visitors (both human and canine)! Akira can be slow to warm up to new situations and dogs. Lindsey was completely understanding and confident, which made me trust her instantly. While away we were provided updates via text messages and pictures which put my mind as ease, and I was able to enjoy my time away knowing my baby was getting amazing in home care. With the genuine care and attention to every detail she showed for our dog, I would not hesitate to recommend Lindsey to anyone. Lindsey is extremely capable of taking care of any dog, and seems to really enjoy doing it. She truly LOVES and understands dogs. Akira came home happy and tired after hanging out with her new friends! We couldn't have asked for better care. We will definitely be using Lindsey again......we already have her booked for another stay!”
“Derrika is the GREATEST! I am so happy I found her. She and her family are so nice and their love of animals is very apparent. I loved the pics she sent throughout the day. Within the first few hours of my Yogis first visit she sent me a pic of my doggo with his head in her sons lap. He only does this when he is EXTREMELY comfortable. Knowing Yogi is in excellent hands helps both his & my separation anxiety when we can’t be together. She is a true gem”
“Sharon and Mike are amazing sitters. We left Zoe (our very nervous Cockapoo) with them for a weekend while we were in town, so we would be close by in case she got herself too worked up. Sharon and Mike loved and cuddled her the whole time. When I arrived to pick her up, she was happy and calm! Thank you Sharon and Mike! We will be booking with you again!”
“First time leaving a pet with anyone but family. She was truly awesome. Open to meet with her with our collie prior to are vacation. Communication was always timely and helpful. She helped us relax and enjoy our time away. Thanks!”
“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!”
“Bridget was amazing! She was very nice and her house was very clean. She sent me pictures while I was away and provided updates on how Mabel was doing. I will definitely be using her again for future vacations.”
“I could have not asked for a better Rover experience. Shannon took care of our dog like one of her own. We received frequent updates & knew that our girl was getting the best care which allowed us to travel worry free. We would definitely return”
“I can't recommend Shawn enough as a Rover sitter! My dog, Bubbles, can be a bit shy around new people, but Shawn immediately put her at ease. Shawn kept me updated with regular texts and photos, which put my mind at ease while I was away. Bubbles came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It's obvious Shawn gave her plenty of love and playtime. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy Rover sitter, look no further than Shawn!”
“Kaya came home happy and tired. She clearly had a great time at Chloé and Collin's house! They communicated very well. My kids loved seeing pictures and videos of our pup.”
“Merley was the best! She was responsive, communicated well throughout our dogs’ stay, and was accommodating. She’s extremely knowledgeable and wants the very best for your pets. Thank you, Merley!”
“I went into Jacquelines house and just got the best vibe. I felt totally comfortable leaving my baby with her and her family! Which is such a huge relief because that always has not been the case with other places!! I was sent pictures of my boy having a great vacation while I was on mine! I would totally recommend!”
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 son with 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!
“Absolutely ? % perfect. John, Rachel and the kids are warm and welcoming. They were perfect with our fur baby. I especially loved receiving daily pictures and updates. We will definitely use them again.”
“Upon the first conversation and meeting, she made us feel comfortable and we knew our fur baby would be safe and well cared for. Being out of the country for 3 weeks, we needed no worries and Saige delivered! When we picked up Mali, she looked happy and loved. We will definitely be using her again. Thank you!”
“Cassie and Ben and their family are the best. Our dogs are always so content after they have been to their home. We can tell that they are loved and cared for like their own.”
“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.”

“Jacki took such good care of our cats while we were gone. She is so thoughtful and also brought in our mail and packages that came. We would definitely work with her again!”
“Katie is a kind, trustworthy animal caretaker. She takes such good care of our cats, including a diabetic cat who requires insulin shots. We highly recommend her services and will certainly request her services again whenever we leave town! Thanks, Katie, from us and the cats!”
“Connie gave us so much peace of mind that our kitty was being well taken care of while we were away! Our cat usually takes awhile to warm up to people, but she immediately warmed right up to Connie. While we were away, Connie went above and beyond to make sure Minette was not only cared for, but loved. We will definitely be rebooking with her if we ever need a cat sitter again!”
“We had a very good experience using Amanda as our Rover sitter for our cat while we were gone for the weekend! She left great notes and fun videos for us to watch while we were away, thanks Amanda!”
“As always Kate is awesome! She always takes great care of my kitties and watered my garden and flowers which kept everything alive while I was gone! My kitties love her!”
“It was great to be able to take a vacation and not worry about our beloved furball kitty. Tiffany was able to get a very timid Bella to let her pet and play with her, which is unusual. Tiffany also did a few other jobs for me which was so appreciated. I will definitely book her again for our next adventure...thanks Tiffany!!”
About: I've taken care of three cats at the same time with only one litter box 🥹. I very much understand what it means to intrude on a cat's space or how patient you have to be to gain certain cats' trust - along with the bite and scratch marks it may take to get there.
“Meggie is the best cat sitter I have ever had and I’ve had several! She goes above and beyond and most importantly she is incredibly affectionate to my shy cat Dexter!!! I can’t recommend her enough!!!”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for annimals and my experience caring for both young and senior pets. I’m patient and responsible and provide gentle, compassionate care for older pets with special needs. Your pets will feel safe and loved with me!
“This is the second time Brooke has completed drop in visits for my cat Bob. She was great and cared for him as he was sick and I had to leave town. I highly recommend her services!”
“Caitlin was wonderful! She sent pics everyday. She played with my furry girls from toys in their toy box! I really appreciated the time and connectivity she spent with my pets. Definitely going to call on her again!”
“Cheyenne was so great!! Our cat was so comfy here and got lots of love and attention! Cheyenne is a super kind human and sent us regular updates, including videos and pictures, which really made us feel so much better about leaving our sweet boy for a couple weeks! He was well taken care of and got all the scratchies and cuddles he wanted!”
“Emelia did a fantastic job watching our fur babies. She was very kind and took pictures to ease our minds, while we were on vacation. Could not have asked for a better person to watch them. Thanks again!”

“My pup was sooooo happy to see Najji on a return visit for day care! It made both their days being reunited! Rosso and Dolly, Najjis pup, are besties. Sure is good to have Najji available when my schedule is full and Rosso needs play time.”
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.
“As a new travel nurse to the area, it’s important for me to find a sitter that meshes well with my dog who has separation anxiety. Caitlin was wonderful with my boy, provided updates, and I came home a happy/tired pup! Until next time, thank you Caitlin.”
“We are so pleased with this outstanding service. Our puppy Buddy (18 month-old Newfiedoodle) totally enjoyed his experience with Shawn. He came home to us happy and went back to Shawn happily the next day. Shawn was a delight to work with. We’ll use his outstanding service again next time we’re in the KC area. Thanks so very much for making this a great experience.”

“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!!”
“Tricia was great with my two dogs. My boy had a blast playing with her dogs. My girl has separation anxiety and Tricia gave great ideas for future stays. She was quick to respond to messages and sent photos of the dogs playing. Will definitely book again!”
“Amazing. Sylveena is wonderful. She fit me in last minute and my Snick loved being there. She sent plenty of photos and most of all my baby slept like a baby when I picked her up. Sylveena is great and I will definitely book with her again.”
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since I was 12 years old. One of my hobbies is German Shepard rescue. I have experience in training puppies and working with senior dogs.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats and small pets of every age, size and temperament for many years. My extensive experience will assure you that I will provide exceptional care and attention to all pets entrusted to me, treating them as if they were my own. I am retired. Therefore, I can be flexible with your schedule and needs as well as your pets. I can accommodate in home stays at my house or drop in visits.

I will spend quality time with your pet(s), making sure they get potty breaks, fed and played with. Your pet(s) will be spoiled!! I can also check your mail and bring in small packages.

“Got it! Here's the updated version: It was our dog's first time staying in another place, and he's usually a bit anxious. But he had a really good time with Stevie and came back tired and happy. We're very grateful!”
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!
“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!”
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. She also has some disciplinary training such as not jumping on people. I am a full time student but i have plenty of time to take care of your pet. I go to school online so I am always home. 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.
“Was super nervous to use this service but Kathleen assured me all would be well and kept my mind at ease anytime I asked for some assurance that my pet was doing okay. Super friendly and my puppy took to her immediately (something I had not seen before honestly). Tagged on a bath and nail trim to the stay and my pet was smelling super fresh all the way home. 10/10 would recommend.”

About: I have been a foster mom and adopter for 18 years. I fostered 50 dogs through a local rescue group. We have had 7 dogs, all but 1 are/ were snow dogs. I'm a part-time small animal physical therapist at ARC where we teach agility and obedience, help rehabilitate cats and dogs with injuries and provide quality of life rehab for seniors or the terminally ill. We took our last babies before they passed to ARC for quality of life, they had degenerative myelopathy and kidney disease, respectively. I fell in love with the place and became a PT. I have a soft spot for senior dogs, they deserve all the spoiling to make their golden years filled with love, comfort and adventure. To me dogs are equal to people and should be treated even better. I have a fenced in back yard and a home made for dogs. We have a four seasons room with a dog door to use. I split the house up according to where your dog is most comfortable while I'm out. We never miss our morning walk. In the summer we take dogs swimming at my in-law's pool 20 minutes in Blue Springs. We also have kiddie pools and a sandbox to discover toys. They can sleep in the bedroom, family room or patio room. If they are kennel training then in their kennel of course, which is in the very comfortable dog room. I am able to administer all types of medication, whether it be oral, injectable, or IV fluids. I am able to do dog CPR, we are also 5 minutes from our vet as well. My home is the ideal vacation spot for your furry friend. About this sitter: I'm a licensed Esthetician and have an in-home spa. I work at ARC part-time, just three afternoons a week. Clearly, I'm a huge dog lover. We previously fostered around 50 dogs for Furry Kids' Refuge. It is my life's work to stop puppy mills. I'm a very active person and enjoy outdoor activities. I live my life for my family and my dogs. "Be the person your dog thinks your are." Boone Pickens. Why I love dog sitting Ever since, I was a child I grew up loving dogs and wanting to stop puppy mills. I always knew I wanted to work with animals in some kind of capacity. I worked on Proposition B with the Humane Society of America. I want to help people feel confident leaving their pets when away from home. About my yard I have a 1/3 acre yard fenced all the way around. We have lots of trees and outdoor dog beds to hang out on under the hammocks. We have lots of squirrels to watch and all of our neighbors have dogs. We have a small wrap around deck that connects to our 4 seasons patio room with a dog door. My experience administering medication I am trained in dispensing all types of medicine; whether it be oral or injectable. I'm also able to do IV fluids and CPR. Your dog(s) will be a part of my family while you are away. They will go about their day doing what they normally do at home. They will be free to play and not be cooped up like at a daycare or vet facility. We have a million toys to play with and a nice neighborhood to walk in and lots of places to nap. We currently have two dogs, they both came from difficult situations, but they love to play with other dogs, it's people that can be intimidating. They prefer people that bring dogs in the house. We do slow introductions. We start with a walking meet and greet around the neighborhood and then we come in the backyard with your dog off-leash to smell and then they can all meet slowly. If all the dogs like each other then I do like a day visit if you will be gone more than a few days, so that your dog is comfy here. If you will be gone more than 2 weeks I recommend a night stay beforehand. I work part-time from home in my spa and part time at ARC on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoon. We walk every morning and most days I head to the gym after. Perfect time for the dogs to decompress in their own areas and nap. I have a nice fenced in yard with locks on the gates. All dogs are separated by gates and have their own comfortable spaces with multiple rooms. All dogs are fed separately for safety.
“Kat has been walking Isabel for 4 years. She is the highlight of my dogs life!!! Kat is and amazing and highly responsible person. Honest, dependable, trustworthy. Couldn't have asked for a better person!!!! She is a true blessing.”
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. However, I miss working with animals and my class schedule tends to be very flexible! In caring for a pet at your home, I treat it as if it was my own. I always emphasize to follow directions perfectly, and to treat your things with respect.
About: I've been around animals my whole life and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm patient, dependable, and pay close attention to the little details that matter, from following feeding schedules and exercise routines to keeping water bowls full and giving plenty of affection. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, energetic dogs, shy cats, and multi-pet households. My goal is simple: treat every pet like they're my own and give you peace of mind knowing they're in caring, reliable hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be reliable and consistent for pet care. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, or spending quality time with your pet, I'm happy to work around their routine. I love being active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, not just a job. Every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions before each visit. Whether I'm in your home or taking your dog for a walk, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I'll make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime while also respecting the routines they're used to. I keep owners updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I always treat both your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would my own. My goal is for your pets to feel comfortable, happy, and loved until you return.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was young. As well as taking care of many of my neighbors/ relatives animals. I have also taken care of dogs and cats young and old and I am volunteering at KC Pet Project. I’m currently a college student home for the summer and will have a part time job. I would be excited to take care of your pets in between! I feed, bathe, brush, and exercise my own dog and have since I was young. For the neighbors pets I have cleaned up and ensured they had the proper amount of food and water and giving them enrichment.
“This was my first weekend with Deret, and she couldn't have been better!! She communicated everything and I'm excited to have her on board!! Thank you Deret! I will continue to book her for all of my needs!!”

About: Hi, my name is Autumn and i have worked with dogs and other animals for over 15 years. My experience comes from working in animal hospitals, pet stores, daycare, boarding, and rescue facilities. I've also been a dog walker for about 3 years. I worked for a dog walking company for 2 years and then started my own pet care/dog walking business called Road Dogs Pet Care and Transportation. I am a single mother of two daughters (5 & 11) and dog mom of 3 older (13,13, &15), very sweet dogs. They are all very social and well behaved. I have a large fenced in yard. I also have experience doing nail trims and offer in-home nail trims. i also have experience bathing and administering medications. I take care, safety, and love very seriously and will always do my best to make sure your babe feels as comfortable and happy as possible! Profile update: Hi, a lot has changed since I first joined Rover. I no longer have my three elderly babies as they have all passed away due to old age. We now have two new additions to our family, Six and Pepper. Six is my 2 year old Border Collie/Heeler mix. She's very spunky, sweet, and playful! Pepper is our 2 1/2 yr old 7 lb. poodle. She is basically my daughters little sidekick and spends almost all of her time with her. She sometimes thinks she's a Doberman, but she's harmless and warms up quick. Once she warms up she's ready to run with the big dogs! They're both great girls and are used to new friends and visitors often. 😊 I'm home full-time and take care of my two kids, two dogs, and our aquatic turtle. Aside from running occasional errands or appointments, I'm able to give your dog or dogs all the love, attention, and playtime that they need. I'm also available for daily dog walks if needed. I have a large fully fenced yard for them to run and play in. They are all inside and outside frequently throughout the day as needed or as they please. I'm happy to cater to any individual needs. 2/23/25 Update: Hi, so its now been about 23 years of working with all these amazing beautiful babes! Im still available for boarding, home drop-ins, and daily walks or potty breaks if you don’t have time or need any extra help. We have a new family member now. Marley is our newest baby girl. She is a two year old Dalmatian and she is super sweet and full of playful sweet energy! She gets along with everybody. :) So our household currently consists of Me, my partner, my two daughters (10 & 16), Six, Pepper, Marley, and Mr.B (Turtle). Also just to clarify, my name is Amber Autumn Hays. I went by Autumn when I first started my Rover Act. You can call me either. :) Please let me know if you are in need of a sitter, boarding, daycare, walks, or nail trims, and I would be happy to help! 😊🐾🐾🐾 Can't wait to meet new friends and see old ones again! Looking forward to warm weather and summertime fun! ☀️ Basically I live and breath kids and dogs and my world pretty much revolves around my kids and yours. :) I have learned a lot over the last 23 years so I am very qualified in giving your pup the care they want and need while you are away. I have a very large fully fenced in yard and 3 friendly and playful babes to keep your baby company. Everyone has free roam in the house or outside during the day. I can also kennel if need be or I only kennel at night or if I leave the house for any reason. If I come to your home, I follow any instructions you give me and the time frame that you’re needing.
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I currently have 2 dogs who love attention. Life gets busy- I’m excited to walk and play with your pup when you need help! I’m a full time nurse. I work 3 12 hour days a week, so I have plenty of time on my 4 days off to walk and help care for furry friends! I’d be happy to meet with you prior to selected services to ensure you and your pet feel comfortable with me. I’ll make sure leashes and harnesses are secure prior to walks. I’ll make sure your loved one has water and time to rest prior to departure. Any specific instructions are encouraged.
About: **NOTE: If you are outside of my normal service preferences, please still request, particularly if you have a pet that has medical or behavioral concerns. I am extremely comfortable with unique behavioral/medical needs and I find great joy in working with these animals. I have always loved animals. This was amplified when I completed an internship at an exotic animal sanctuary on their animal care team. After this, I trained as a veterinary technician at a senior dog sanctuary specializing in hospice care. When I moved to KC, I worked as a vet tech under a renowned veterinary orthopedic surgeon. I was the lead vet tech for a high-volume clinic where I was the lead surgery and dental tech, emergency tech, and euthanasia tech, and I oversaw the vet tech schedule and controlled substance logs. I am comfortable administering injections (insulin, for example), administering subcutaneous fluids, delivering triage care in an emergency with your animal, and monitoring heart rates, respiratory rates, and capillary refill times. On a personal level, I am the proud mom of a one-eyed French Bulldog, a senior Chihuahua, a ball python, a milk snake, and an eyelash-crested gecko. In the past, I have been a parent to hamsters, rats, a guinea pig, a corn snake, and multiple fish species. I currently work as a Behavioral Interventionist for a district that participates in four-day weeks. For the summer, I have open availability. The school year will begin again 8/11/25 for me which will leave me with full availability for Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays and availability from 5 am to 8 am and after 5 pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays until the end of May, holiday breaks being the exception. When you request a time for a visit, I will care for your pets within one hour before or one hour after the requested time unless there is a special circumstance such as medication administration needed at exact times. For example, if you request a drop-in visit at 12pm, the visit may start anywhere from 11am to 1pm in order to accommodate unexpected situations where I need to spend more time with an animal. An animal's safety is my highest priority. I am trained in safe dog introductions and reading animal body language. Additionally, I am trained to safely intervene if an interaction between animals becomes aggressive to minimize injury to the animals and myself. I am well versed in identifying potential emergency medical situations and will respond quickly to reduce stress on your beloved pet. I would like to know immediately if something is wrong with one of my babies, and it is essential to show you the same respect.

“Lindsey definitely deserves a 5 star rating for her sitting services. Lindsey, her husband, and their 3 fur babies offer a welcoming and comfortable environment for their visitors (both human and canine)! Akira can be slow to warm up to new situations and dogs. Lindsey was completely understanding and confident, which made me trust her instantly. While away we were provided updates via text messages and pictures which put my mind as ease, and I was able to enjoy my time away knowing my baby was getting amazing in home care. With the genuine care and attention to every detail she showed for our dog, I would not hesitate to recommend Lindsey to anyone. Lindsey is extremely capable of taking care of any dog, and seems to really enjoy doing it. She truly LOVES and understands dogs. Akira came home happy and tired after hanging out with her new friends! We couldn't have asked for better care. We will definitely be using Lindsey again......we already have her booked for another stay!”
“First time leaving a pet with anyone but family. She was truly awesome. Open to meet with her with our collie prior to are vacation. Communication was always timely and helpful. She helped us relax and enjoy our time away. Thanks!”
“I could have not asked for a better Rover experience. Shannon took care of our dog like one of her own. We received frequent updates & knew that our girl was getting the best care which allowed us to travel worry free. We would definitely return”
“I can't recommend Shawn enough as a Rover sitter! My dog, Bubbles, can be a bit shy around new people, but Shawn immediately put her at ease. Shawn kept me updated with regular texts and photos, which put my mind at ease while I was away. Bubbles came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It's obvious Shawn gave her plenty of love and playtime. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy Rover sitter, look no further than Shawn!”
“Kaya came home happy and tired. She clearly had a great time at Chloé and Collin's house! They communicated very well. My kids loved seeing pictures and videos of our pup.”
“Merley was the best! She was responsive, communicated well throughout our dogs’ stay, and was accommodating. She’s extremely knowledgeable and wants the very best for your pets. Thank you, Merley!”
“I went into Jacquelines house and just got the best vibe. I felt totally comfortable leaving my baby with her and her family! Which is such a huge relief because that always has not been the case with other places!! I was sent pictures of my boy having a great vacation while I was on mine! I would totally recommend!”
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 son with 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!
“Absolutely ? % perfect. John, Rachel and the kids are warm and welcoming. They were perfect with our fur baby. I especially loved receiving daily pictures and updates. We will definitely use them again.”
“Upon the first conversation and meeting, she made us feel comfortable and we knew our fur baby would be safe and well cared for. Being out of the country for 3 weeks, we needed no worries and Saige delivered! When we picked up Mali, she looked happy and loved. We will definitely be using her again. Thank you!”
“Cassie and Ben and their family are the best. Our dogs are always so content after they have been to their home. We can tell that they are loved and cared for like their own.”
“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.”
“Cheyanne was amazing! I had to find a last minute sitter for my senior dog because she was under the weather and couldn’t go to her typical boarder. In addition to being sick, my dog needs extra help doing some day to day things due to her age. Cheyanne was great and helped my dog feel safe in an unfamiliar environment.”
“Kristy took wonderful care of Ollie! She kept me updated and sent lots of pictures, which I really appreciated. It gave me great peace of mind knowing Ollie was in such good hands. Thank you, Kristy!”
“We are so thankful to have found MacKenzie!! We know our dogs are in great hands, and they are always excited when we pull up to her house. We have two large dogs with unique personalities, and we can completely trust that they are in good hands. Thank you for everything MacKenzie!”
“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!”
