“Simply the best!!!! Fendi stayed with Ms Amy for the second time and again, she treated him just like her own. She was even flexible with our return time and baked us that fresh bread she promised us the first visit. If you chose Ms Amy to keep your fur baby, you won’t regret it!!”

“Rita sent lots of pictures and videos. She stayed in contact via the chat when I asked questions. Carter was very happy when I picked him up and he was groomed and clean. Rita walked him daily and sent video. I was really pleased with her service. Thanks for taking care of my fur baby.”
“Such an amazing person! My dog had a blast and I got pictures and updates multiple times a day! My fur baby is exhausted from playing all weekend. The only person I will trust my dog with in the future. My dog only liked 4 people in the whole world before I dropped her off and now she has a few new friends!”
“As a first time Rover user, I was hesitant in trusting our fur baby with strangers. I am so glad I read their reviews and went with my gut instinct! Rue had a great visit and was not in any type of distress after we picked her up - unlike after being boarded. The communication was excellent and we even received daily pictures! I would not hesitate to use them again!”
“Kelly was absolutely amazing! I normally worry about my dogs when leaving them with a caretaker, but Kelly made me feel so at ease with regular photo and video updates during their week stay. Her experience with caring for shelter dogs was a plus. This is our second time booking with her and our dogs excitedly rushed into her home right when we got there. Our dogs had a blast with her dogs and seemed like they didn’t want to go home! Her home was very spacious and in a safe, gated area. I would definitely book with her in the future. Thanks again, Kelly!”
“Ashlyn had great communication during Fendi’s stay and was very accommodating with me realizing I scheduled for the wrong dates. Fendi even has tummy problems and she made the chicken and rice for her. She did great with Fendi!”
“Brittany and her family were truly one of a kind! Ace felt right at home with them and her son young son Everest! I think he and Ace would call eachother on FaceTime every night from here on out if Ace had thumbs 🐾 LOL! 10 out of 10 we’ll be back again!”
About: I’ve been working with dogs for over 19 years and provide a structured, calm, and safe environment in my home. I have a dedicated dog room with secure kennels, supervised interaction, and clear boundaries. I currently own and train multiple dogs, including a fully trained service animal and another dog I’ve personally raised and developed. This gives me strong experience with behavior, energy management, and different personalities. Dogs in my care are treated like family, but with structure. They can enjoy comfort like furniture once they demonstrate respectful behavior and cleanliness. I do not allow destructive or uncontrolled habits. I’m comfortable with puppies and can reinforce basic training, routine, and good behavior during their stay. I also provide advanced training reinforcement as part of my care. Dogs naturally work on obedience, confidence, impulse control, and daily mental and physical engagement while they’re here. I have experience building service-style task foundations and higher-level behavior, but I do not certify service animals. Every dog benefits from structure in my home, whether they need basic manners or more advanced work. My focus is safety, consistency, and communication so every dog is properly supervised, exercised, and leaves more balanced, responsive, and confident. Pet care is part of my daily routine, not something I fit in on the side. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, structured interaction, and regular potty breaks, exercise, and mental engagement. My background in disciplined environments has shaped how I run my home—dogs here benefit from routine, clear expectations, and a calm, controlled atmosphere. Each day includes a balance of activity, training reinforcement, and rest so dogs stay healthy, settled, and stress-free. Because I’m available throughout the day, I can adapt to each dog’s needs—whether that’s higher energy, puppy structure, or a more relaxed pace. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so owners can feel confident their dog is safe, engaged, and well looked after at all times. Safety, trust, and structure are the foundation of how I care for every dog. My home is set up specifically for pet care, with a dedicated dog room, secure kennels, and supervised interaction at all times. I carefully manage introductions and only allow dogs to interact once they are calm, balanced, and a good fit. Dogs in my care follow a structured routine that includes regular potty breaks, exercise, mental stimulation, and rest. I maintain clear boundaries while still allowing comfort—dogs can enjoy furniture and a relaxed environment once they demonstrate respectful behavior and cleanliness. I require dogs to be crate familiar or comfortable with structured downtime. Owners are encouraged to provide a crate or familiar setup for overnight stays, though I have limited kennel space available if needed. I prioritize communication and will keep owners updated with how their dog is doing. My goal is to provide a calm, controlled environment where dogs feel safe, are properly supervised, and leave more balanced and well cared for than when they arrived.

“Karleigh was great feeding and water as should extra loving care dependable. Made my trip more enjoyable because I knew they were being taken care of! Thanks Karleigh and rover.”
“Do your pet a favor and hire Cara to pet sit. You will both be glad you did. Cara is kind, dependable, thoughtful and conscientious. She obviously has a way with pets. My cat was enthralled with Cara from the first meeting - headbutting her, rubbing up against her. And, from the pics Cara sent while I was away, my cat’s crush on Cara continued. I was away for nearly three weeks and returned to find a happy and contented cat. Thank you, Cara.”
“We hired Ashlyn's services for the first time for our cat Mowgli. He had previously been boarded at another facility but we got no updates and suspected that he was locked in his kennel most of the time. With Ashlyn, we got plenty of updates - texts, photos and videos and that was very reassuring. She was very responsive right from booking to picking my cat up from her after three days of stay. All our stuff was repacked very well & little box cleaned. We will definitely use Ashlyn again in the future!!”

However you typically go about your day with your pet, I will do my best to keep that routine for the comfort of your pet!

I work part time so I have time for pets day or evening. I also like to jog so if your pet likes to run I can incorporate that. Caring for a pet is the practice of unconditional empathy. It’s the ritual of the morning walk, the comfort of a head on your lap after a long day, and the commitment to stay by their side through the energetic "zoomies" of youth and the quiet slowdown of old age.

I’m able to administer medicines, including kitties, and I do own a clicker for simple tricks and training.

On hot days, I will always bring a water bottle and collapsible container for your puppy to ensure a fun and safe walk for everyone. For any emergency safety situations, I do plan to carry pepper spray for both of our safety. I also have a fanny pack for treats (with your approval), doggy bags for poo, and wipes for paws as needed. Kitties deserve the same level of love and care as our canines, so I will be sure to always leave with a clean litter box, monitor them for any abnormal behaviors, brush them as needed, and make sure everyone has access to fresh drinking water. Any special food plans, medications, or specific tasks can and will be done according to your directions and instruction. You know them best, after all! 💞 All of my services will include several pictures and fun videos to share with you so you don’t miss any of it. 🌟

“As a first time Rover user, I was hesitant in trusting our fur baby with strangers. I am so glad I read their reviews and went with my gut instinct! Rue had a great visit and was not in any type of distress after we picked her up - unlike after being boarded. The communication was excellent and we even received daily pictures! I would not hesitate to use them again!”
“Kelly was absolutely amazing! I normally worry about my dogs when leaving them with a caretaker, but Kelly made me feel so at ease with regular photo and video updates during their week stay. Her experience with caring for shelter dogs was a plus. This is our second time booking with her and our dogs excitedly rushed into her home right when we got there. Our dogs had a blast with her dogs and seemed like they didn’t want to go home! Her home was very spacious and in a safe, gated area. I would definitely book with her in the future. Thanks again, Kelly!”
“Ashlyn had great communication during Fendi’s stay and was very accommodating with me realizing I scheduled for the wrong dates. Fendi even has tummy problems and she made the chicken and rice for her. She did great with Fendi!”

They can enjoy comfort like furniture once they demonstrate respectful behavior and cleanliness. I do not allow destructive or uncontrolled habits. I’m comfortable with puppies and can reinforce basic training, routine, and good behavior during their stay. I also provide advanced training reinforcement as part of my care. Dogs naturally work on obedience, confidence, impulse control, and daily mental and physical engagement while they’re here. I have experience building service-style task foundations and higher-level behavior, but I do not certify service animals. Every dog benefits from structure in my home, whether they need basic manners or more advanced work. My focus is safety, consistency, and communication so every dog is properly supervised, exercised, and leaves more balanced, responsive, and confident. Pet care is part of my daily routine, not something I fit in on the side. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, structured interaction, and regular potty breaks, exercise, and mental engagement. My background in disciplined environments has shaped how I run my home—dogs here benefit from routine, clear expectations, and a calm, controlled atmosphere. Each day includes a balance of activity, training reinforcement, and rest so dogs stay healthy, settled, and stress-free. Because I’m available throughout the day, I can adapt to each dog’s needs—whether that’s higher energy, puppy structure, or a more relaxed pace. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so owners can feel confident their dog is safe, engaged, and well looked after at all times. Safety, trust, and structure are the foundation of how I care for every dog. My home is set up specifically for pet care, with a dedicated dog room, secure kennels, and supervised interaction at all times. I carefully manage introductions and only allow dogs to interact once they are calm, balanced, and a good fit. Dogs in my care follow a structured routine that includes regular potty breaks, exercise, mental stimulation, and rest. I maintain clear boundaries while still allowing comfort—dogs can enjoy furniture and a relaxed environment once they demonstrate respectful behavior and cleanliness. I require dogs to be crate familiar or comfortable with structured downtime. Owners are encouraged to provide a crate or familiar setup for overnight stays, though I have limited kennel space available if needed. I prioritize communication and will keep owners updated with how their dog is doing. My goal is to provide a calm, controlled environment where dogs feel safe, are properly supervised, and leave more balanced and well cared for than when they arrived.
“Kanieshawa took great care of our sweet pup and we would definitely use her services again! She was very easy to contact and sent updates and pictures while we were gone. Our dog came home happy and well taken care of!”
“WE LOVE MARY PEYTON! It was such a relief to be able to enjoy our vacation knowing our Pinky girl was well taken care of! We got regular updates and pictures of our girl and Mary Peyton even bathed her, trimmed her nails and cleaned her ears! She will definitely be our go-to girl from now on when we go out of town! Thank you, MP! You're the best!”

“Tiera is absolutely amazing. My fur baby loved her and was very comfortable with her and her home. Her dog was also very welcoming to my dog and they got along great. She played fetch with him, took him from walks, and spent time with him. She kept me updated each day with pictures and text messages of what he was doing. She was very accommodating for early drop off when i needed it and was willing to work with me if I was late for pick up. I highly recommend her and look forward to using her in my near future”
