“Paul and family took great care of Johnny Cash! The pictures of Cash with Paul’s son were precious. I’d gladly recommend him and hope to have a future opportunity to have Cash stay with him”
“I cannot recommend Kali for you enough! SHE IS A GEM! My first time sitting my dog was a terrible experience and I was terrified to sit him again but a family emergency popped up and I came across her profile. Her house is clean and she was so nice during the meet and greet, my dog Smokie adores her. Not only did she go over plans on what to do with Smokie while we were away but wrote down a detailed list of everything we told her which sits out in her home in case an emergency happened on her end that anyone coming to watch her own dogs and our dog would know exactly what he needed. She also provided us with all of her emergency contacts so we knew anyone who may be in her home. She also has close contact with the vets in the area if something should happen with our pet. She is amazingly organized and prepared. The dogs have plenty of space to roam and she even had a quiet room for the dogs that can’t roam if she had to pop out of the house and can’t bring the dogs. I will never even consider another sitter after booking with her because they all pale in comparison!”
“Erin took great care of our sweet dog, Lily. She was easy to communicate with, replied quickly, and sent pictures to let us know how much fun Lily was having playing in the river with Erin. I will be using her again, soon, and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“I was a little nervous about leaving Bella with people I hadn't met but I was thrilled with the way Katie walked me through it. Bella was happy and I could tell they took care of her like family! They will be my first choice always! Thank you Katie and Jeremy!”
“Brody was an excellent choice for Pepper! We needed to keep her calm and limit her movement due to medical restrictions and we felt she was extremely safe in Brody’s care. He went above and beyond to ensure she was safe and comfortable and I would 100% bring any of my pets back to him in the future!!”
“Jen was wonderful. Went out of her way to make sure the dog would be safe and happy. Bought her a toy, walked her a bunch and sent her home happy and worn out from playing. She was a lovely person, easy to correspond with, and took great care of Flora. Thank you, Jen!”
“Caroline and her family were amazing dog sitters. My nervous little doggy was right at home there! Caroline was so responsive to all my initial questions, sent photos and updates daily, and really made me feel comfortable leaving my furry son at her house. Booking my next stay with her now!”
“Richard and his family were so nice to meet! I could definitely tell Tivoli felt comfortable with him and company, I’m glad that he had such a great time out on some fun activities too!”
“Sarah was extremely easy to work with and Jasper had a great time with her dog Jimmy and her family. Communication was excellent and Jasper loved his time at her home!”
“Second adventure for Charlotte at their place and second great experience! I think Charlie would rather be here than home since she gets to romp around with so many friends and other happy doggos. If we go out of town, or if we just want to drop for doggy daycare, this is the place we will always check first!”
“Adaira is incredible! She is calm and open. We were prepared to meet their other two dogs and Koda then joined the pack for 10 days! We quickly built trust and understanding. She even gave him some flair on Halloween and did a photo shoot 🎃 I truly cannot recommend her services enough. Koda got to go on plenty of adventures. I am so grateful! He loves her much. He made sure to say goodbye before he hopped in the car. Being such a smart dog, I can tell how much rapport they built.”
“James was friendly and helpful. He sent us pictures of our dogs and was very responsive to all our questions/phone calls. We hope to board our dogs with him again. Highly recommend !!”
“Maria and Jose took great care of our girl. They instantly made us feel comfortable and asked great questions to understand all her needs. They sent us tons of videos/pics throughout her stay which put us at ease knowing she was having a blast playing with their dogs and going on walks. I highly recommend them as they were great with our puppy.”
“We are so impressed with our first time using Rover. Ann and Jaren were great, communicative with texts and pics. We highly recommend them and will use them again!”
“The best sitters! Lacie goes out of her way to make you comfortable and ensure all needs are met. I felt very at ease leaving Stink with her. Lots of photos and videos and great updates. She’s outstanding!!”
“Terri has watched my pup a few times now and it's been great each time! The most recent time was for a whole week. I was concerned about finding someone who could handle a wild and not-yet fully trained puppy and Terri has been so sweet, gracious and relaxed about everything. She even sent me photo/video so I could see how Zelda was doing. I love the farm atmosphere that Terri provides. She's clearly a true animal lover and Zelda seems to enjoy spending time visiting with both the human and animal friends she's made at Terri's. So glad we found someone capable, trustworthy and kind!”
“We had our small pup, Tinkerbell stay with Vicky for 4 days & nights. She was so good with Tinkerbell, we were so impressed how much time & attention was given to our sweet Tink. She went on 3-4 walks daily, had children to enjoy, many videos & photos & they had toys to play with. Tink had a great vacation too. We loved Vicky & would highly recommend her for dog walking & boarding! Thank you Vicky, Tink can’t wait to come again for a visit with you & we appreciate your excellent care with her. Debbie & Tom”
“This was my pup Luna’s first time being boarded and Nancy went above and beyond all my expectations of what I thought pet boarding can be. She was able to accommodate Lunas specific needs, and put my mind at ease by keeping me present throughout her stay with pictures and updates on how Luna was adjusting without me. Nancy’s patience, care and love she provided to Luna was very evident when I picked her up. I would trust Nancy to take care of Luna again in a heartbeat. If you’re ever considering boarding your baby, I couldn’t recommend Nancy enough! 10/10”

“Wonderful sitter! Takes such good care of our cat. This was our second time booking Savanah and we definitely plan to continue booking with her in future. Highly recommend!”
“Chanel was awesome! We have 3 kitties (one has some special needs) and she took excellent care of everyone. She was kind, conscientious, kept me well informed, and I felt very comfortable knowing my fur babies were in such good hands. I would definitely use her again, if she's available! Thanks Chanel!”
“Tabby was wonderful with my cat! She was sweet, reliable, and my cat seemed to really like her immediately. I really appreciated the updates and knowing my cat was in good hands. I'd definitely book with her again!”
About: I have lifelong experience caring for cats, including personal ownership, shelter volunteer work, and professional cat sitting. I’m comfortable with cats of all ages and personalities, from shy and independent to playful and social. My approach focuses on gentle handling, enrichment, and keeping your cat comfortable and stress-free in their home environment.
“Kate is fabulous and totally had my kitties on her side. They were happy, relaxed and totally won over lol Kate is now a regular on our sitter list. She was punctual, takes great photos ;) of the kids and totally trustworthy xo thank you again Kate.”
“Shannon was great! She was very responsive and set up a meet-and-greet quickly for a last minute booking for my cat. My kitty is very shy and Shannon went out of her way to check her hiding spots to make sure she was doing ok. Will definitely rebook!”
“Lyndsi was absolutely amazing with our senior cat and kitten who needed daily medicine. Our senior is shy but warmed right up to her. The detailed updates and numerous photos helped keep my worries away. She even left the cutest drawing of our kitties. I will always book with Lyndsi!”
“Autumn is a great pet sitter! My cats were well cared for and she sent updates and photos each visit. She responded quickly to any questions and I was confident that my kitties were fine 😻”
“Kara took such good care of our cat while we were away for a few days. It's always a bit nerve-wracking looking for a new sitter when you're new to an area, but we lucked out. We will be booking her again in the future <3”
“I'm so grateful to have found Oxana on Rover! She is extremely detail oriented and followed my many instructions for my very picky cats! She very quickly picked up on their individual personalities and needs. I came home to very happy cats. She definitely understands cats and all their peculiarities! I got lots of pictures and updates. She also left everything in my home clean and organized. My cat's loved her!”
“Ashleigh was a wonderful cat sitter. My husband and I could rest easy knowing our boys were in such good, loving hands. She was extremely communicative and her genuine care shined through her correspondence. Would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”

“Kali sent me updates, with pictures, and was quick to respond when I contacted her. It was a perfect situation, plenty of space and her dogs are great. I am delighted to have her as a resource for my Toby.”
“I know that Bueller had a great time with Alexis because I got regular pupdates, she ate, and she was looking for her after she was returned to us. Would definitely recommend!”
“I'm so glad we found Nate!! He was so patient, easy going and communicated every step of the way. He didn't make us feel like our dogs were nuisances or an inconvenience like a previous sitter made us feel. I was so happy to see both my dogs having so much fun running around with Bilbo in the huge fenced in area. Bilbo is the sweetest dog ever! We're going to be repeat customers.”
“Paul and his fiancé were amazing with our boy, Ezra. As my service dog, he is always with me. There were 2 days of our 16-day vacay that we needed a reliable pet sitter for adventures we couldn’t bring Ezra on: zip-lining in Barnardsville and driving the Blue Ridge Parkway in a 2-seater Polaris Slingshot. Even after a considerately planned meet-and-greet the afternoon before his 1st stay with Paul, Ezra was a little nervous after we dropped him off. Thoughtfully, I received updates and videos to keep me posted. Paul and his fiancé worked with him to build trust and also Ezra’s confidence. By day 2, Ezra did not want his stay to end at pick-up time! When he finally did get in the car, he was happily exhausted and slept the entire drive home. I would definitely reach out to Paul as a pet sitter should the need arise the next time we visit beautiful North Carolina! Thank you both for taking such good care of our Ezra. We truly appreciate all you did to help him adjust and feel comfortable, confident and happy!!! :)”
About: I have hands-on experience working with dogs in multiple professional settings, including 2 year of shelter volunteering, 1 year as a behavioral kennel technician, 1 year of pet sitting and 10 months as a foster caregiver.I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments, including infant puppies, senior dogs needing mobility support, reactive dogs, and dogs recovering from illness or medical conditions. My approach is calm, patient, and enrichment-focused, with safety and positive handling as top priorities. If you have a dog you want round the clock specialty care for book with me, as I’m hand on and do rover full time! Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my schedule so your dog always receives dedicated, attentive care. I currently do rover full time , which gives me flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and enrichment visits. With me dogs are never left alone for long periods and can get all-day care and companionship. This is my full time job meaning this is a priority for me—not a side hobby. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and routine are always at the center of my schedule. Your dog will have so much fun with me! As I have access to a private dog park where they can get in tones of agility or just somewhere to have zoomies! We also have access to a nice scenic hiking trail.

About: I’m passionate about providing safe, personalized, and compassionate care for every pet I meet. My experience includes working at “You Work I’ll Play” dog daycare, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels in both group and one-on-one settings. I’ve also completed a dog training apprenticeship with a focus on reactive and aggressive dogs, giving me hands-on experience in behavior management, body language, confidence building, and creating calm, structured environments for anxious or high-needs pets. In addition to professional experience, I’ve raised and trained puppies from a young age, focusing on basic manners, leash skills, crate training, confidence building, and healthy socialization. I understand that every dog is different, and I always strive to make pets feel safe, understood, and loved while in my care. 🐾 I currently work part time, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and flexibility to the pets in my care. Because of my schedule, I’m able to provide consistent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, feedings, medication administration, and companionship throughout the day rather than pets being left alone for long periods of time. Animal care is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my daily routine, and I always strive to make sure each pet receives personalized attention, comfort, and a safe, loving environment while their family is away. 🐾 I provide flexible, full-spectrum pet care both in my home and in clients’ homes depending on what works best for each pet and family. In my home, dogs have a calm, structured environment with supervised care, enrichment activities, and access to safe exercise. I also have access to a private dog park, which allows for secure off-leash play, enrichment walks, and controlled socialization when appropriate for each dog’s temperament and comfort level. For in-home care, I maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, medication, and comfort habits—so pets feel secure in their own space while you’re away. I also work alongside my partner, a canine behaviorist, who assists with select bookings when additional support is needed or if I’m ever fully scheduled. This allows for consistent, knowledgeable care even during busy periods, especially for dogs with behavioral needs or those requiring extra structure and guidance. 🐾
“Thank uuu Jen!! She was just the best!! We felt so badly requesting to schedule within a day hoping she was available She was so accommodating and asked us about Dottie to know what she needed her personality etc Dot had the best time!! Jen sent photos and messaged We hope to return and will contact Jen!! We highly recommend her!! 🍃🏆🩷🐾😀”
“April is AMAZING! I cannot recommend her enough! She is so kind and caring and my puppy Oozo just loves her. He gets excited to go there and comes home happy and content. If I could I would give her many more stars.”
About: I grew up with feisty terriers, and now have a high energy Dalmatian. I’m up for the task! It’s a pleasure to play hard, and get them tuckered out for cuddle time. By spending time with our Dalmatian, high energy pups will meet their match and older dogs will tap into their youth. Looking forward to it! I work from home, and already have dog-care built into my routine. Our fenced in yard makes it easy for them to run-around. Daily walks around the block. We have a fenced in yard, great for them to run free. We’ve got dog beds, fun toys and lots of fresh water always available.
“Laird watched my 7 month old golden retriever Kai for 2 days while I was away at work. Throughout my work day I was updated with pictures and videos of Kai having a great time. Both times I went to pick Kai up not only was he worn out from all the fun but he was so happy. That lets me know he enjoyed his time so much! I would definitely recommend Laird to anyone looking for a quick doggy babysitter! Will be back for sure!”
About: “I have taken care of dogs my whole life and currently have a sweet pug puppy named Willow. I love taking dogs on walks, giving them playtime, potty breaks, snuggles, and lots of attention. I treat every dog like my own — with patience, kindness, and positive reinforcement. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or an overnight stay, your pup will feel safe, happy and deeply loved in my care I work from home as an artist and am almost always here, so your dog will get consistent walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles throughout the day. They won’t be left alone except for quick errands. 🐾 My home is very dog-friendly with a fully fenced in yard, tons of toys, comfy dog beds, and lots of space to relax. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and in my bed (just like my own pups). I treat every dog like part of the family — with lots of love, patience, and positive reinforcement. 🐾
“Golda took great care of Maggie while my husband and I went on a hike in the Great Smoky Mountains NP (no dogs allowed)😢. Maggie was smiling when we picked her up and it looked like she had a great time!”
“Jennie & Craig were wonderful hosts for Willie!! He had a super fun time playing in their fenced-in yard with their dogs. The location was perfect and J&C were very accommodating. Willie has been sleeping since we arrived back home!! Thank you for giving Willie a wonderful morning of fun!”
“Stephanie was very sweet and patient with my baby and I am so appreciative. She sent me updates throughout the day which I enjoyed. She was accommodating to my hectic schedule.”
About: Hi there! My name’s Rachael, and I’d love the chance to care for your pets like they’re my own. I’m a proud dog mom to two sweet girls, Halo and Ash, who keep my days full of love, laughter, and adventure. And I have recently become a proud cat mom as well, with my two goofy boys Barnabus, and Bandit who are me two angels. I grew up with German Shepherds, so I’ve been around dogs of all sizes my whole life and feel right at home with everything from the tiniest lap pups to extra-large gentle giants. I also have hands-on training experience and am certified through Brother Wolf, where I volunteered and completed all of their training classes. Because of that, I’m comfortable not only caring for pets but also understanding their needs, personalities, and quirks. Beyond dogs, I truly enjoy spending time with all kinds of animals—cats, geckos, lizards, snakes, turtles, and even fish. I believe every animal has a pure little soul, and it’s such a joy to connect with them. In my free time, you can usually find me curled up in bed with my pups for snuggles or out exploring on walks and adventures with them. Caring for animals is something that brings me so much happiness, and I’d be honored to bring that same care, patience, and love to yours. I am working full time managing a local moving company, but a lot of my job is conducted remotely so I have open availability to spend quality time with your furry (or scaly) family member(s). I spend my free time with my 4 fur babies Ash, Halo,Bandit and Barnabus. I would love to either show your babies the same love and care in the comfort of your own home, or mine! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a calm, secure environment where pets feel loved and cared for. For dogs, I have a fully fenced-in side and back yard, perfect for safe outdoor play and exercise. For cats, I create a quiet, cozy space where they can feel at ease, get plenty of affection, and enjoy their usual routines. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and personality, making sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free.
“Aditi and her family are lovely, caring, warm people who obviously loved my little one all day long. She is communicative, responsive and provides all the information needed to feel comfortable about leaving my loved one in her home. I highly recommend her!”
“John and his wife did a great job keeping an eye on my senior dog. They personalized the days activities and walks for his needs and sent me a photo update to let me know he was settled in.”

About: Hi! I’m a 19-year-old college student and lifelong animal lover. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young. Friends, neighbors, and family regularly trust me to pet sit, walk, feed, and play with their pets. I have a 10-month-old mini long-haired dachshund named Tucker, so I understand puppy energy, training consistency, and daily routines. I’m very active and outgoing, and I love being outdoors, going on walks, and staying active, which makes me a great fit for energetic dogs! I’m responsible, dependable, and will treat your pet like my own. Whether your dog needs playtime, cuddles, exercise, or calm companionship, I’m happy to provide a safe and loving environment. I’m currently a college student with one in-person class on Thursdays and the rest of my coursework online, which gives me a flexible schedule. I also work part-time at Abercrombie & Fitch, but I plan my shifts in advance and have plenty of time throughout the week for pet care. I’m available for drop-ins, walks. Because I’m active and enjoy being outdoors, I love fitting walks and playtime into my daily routine! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to keep routines consistent, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and medication (if needed). I make sure pets are supervised, secure on walks, and comfortable in a clean, calm environment. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I treat every dog like my own and focus on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free experience.

About: My passion for animal care has made it my world! I am a veterinary professional located in the WNC. Welcome to my world of animals! When I am not taking care of your furry friends I work full time as a Vet Tech. My care taking time is best on the weekends. I have four pets! Ranging from reptile to furry. If you want your pets to be social and play all day, let them spend time with us🐱
About: I am a teacher in Asheville looking to hang out with some lovely animals in my free time. Growing up I have always had animals but primarily dogs so I have a strong background in dog behaviors and needs. My fiancé is also available to support during the week days that wouldn’t be optimal for me to leave during my teaching days. This gives a lot more availability! She has always grown up with cats and dogs and would love to help support to give them the best care. I look forward to care for your animal in anyway I can. Please let me know of any questions as I hope to be flexible with any needs. During the week I am gone roughly 8am-4pm but will be home during the weekend times. During the summer months I am available throughout the day times. My fiancé is a nurse and works 3 days out of the week. The schedule is flexible but sporadic. I love to get out for long walks and get as much movement as possible. If that’s for your animal I’d love to get them out! If not I am cautious about the animals typical areas and what works best for them.
“Elizabeth was great with my dog! I appreciated her taking the time to meet with me and Pita before I went out of town and her daily updates while I was gone. I would definitely use her services again in the future.”
About: I have taken care of all different types of pets since I was a child. I have raised dogs, cats, chickens, opossums, turtles, etc. This included walking, feeding, bathing, changing out liter, cleaning a chicken coop, baby opossum care. I have experience with both puppies/kittens and older dogs/cats. I recently lived with my college roommate for three years she had a poodle named Groot that I helped her raise from a puppy. He had a very sensitive stomach so he was on a special diet and prebiotics. She had a very busy schedule and often times had to go out of town. So, I helped take care of him. This included feeding, potty breaks, and hikes for exercise. I am a very proud dog aunt! I recently moved to Ocean Springs and I am excited to be able to create bonds with the animals and owners in my new community. I am currently working part-time remotely so I have a very open schedule. Especially during the weekday and most of the time on weekends. I want to use this as an opportunity to create a weekly schedule that gets me out of my house and off the computer. Also the joy of getting to hang out with pets. A meet and greet is a must for me. I always want a new meeting between you, me and your pet to be one that sets us up for success. Every pet is different. I want to use the meeting as a way to learn their uniqueness and get them comfortable with me.
About: Hello! Lots of pet care experience, mainly cats and some dogs, along with smaller animals including gerbils, hamsters etc. Never was allowed to have a cat or dog growing up due to allergies in the family but always took the opportunity to care for pets whenever I could to get an excuse to hang out with doggies or kitties. I love spending time with animals and I appreciate all their unique attributes and what they mean to their humans, and I always make sure to do the job right and that the animals are cared for according to all instructions and specific preferences/needs. With me, your furry (or not) friends are in good hands! I'm available on a flexible basis and it's best to touch base to see about availability in days or weeks to come. Thanks for reading!

“I cannot recommend Kali for you enough! SHE IS A GEM! My first time sitting my dog was a terrible experience and I was terrified to sit him again but a family emergency popped up and I came across her profile. Her house is clean and she was so nice during the meet and greet, my dog Smokie adores her. Not only did she go over plans on what to do with Smokie while we were away but wrote down a detailed list of everything we told her which sits out in her home in case an emergency happened on her end that anyone coming to watch her own dogs and our dog would know exactly what he needed. She also provided us with all of her emergency contacts so we knew anyone who may be in her home. She also has close contact with the vets in the area if something should happen with our pet. She is amazingly organized and prepared. The dogs have plenty of space to roam and she even had a quiet room for the dogs that can’t roam if she had to pop out of the house and can’t bring the dogs. I will never even consider another sitter after booking with her because they all pale in comparison!”
“I was a little nervous about leaving Bella with people I hadn't met but I was thrilled with the way Katie walked me through it. Bella was happy and I could tell they took care of her like family! They will be my first choice always! Thank you Katie and Jeremy!”
“Brody was an excellent choice for Pepper! We needed to keep her calm and limit her movement due to medical restrictions and we felt she was extremely safe in Brody’s care. He went above and beyond to ensure she was safe and comfortable and I would 100% bring any of my pets back to him in the future!!”
“Caroline and her family were amazing dog sitters. My nervous little doggy was right at home there! Caroline was so responsive to all my initial questions, sent photos and updates daily, and really made me feel comfortable leaving my furry son at her house. Booking my next stay with her now!”
“Sarah was extremely easy to work with and Jasper had a great time with her dog Jimmy and her family. Communication was excellent and Jasper loved his time at her home!”
“Second adventure for Charlotte at their place and second great experience! I think Charlie would rather be here than home since she gets to romp around with so many friends and other happy doggos. If we go out of town, or if we just want to drop for doggy daycare, this is the place we will always check first!”
“James was friendly and helpful. He sent us pictures of our dogs and was very responsive to all our questions/phone calls. We hope to board our dogs with him again. Highly recommend !!”
“Golda and her husband were great hosts for our dog Ringo. Ringo usually gets a little nervious staying away from us but it was clear when we picked him up that he was very comfortable with their family, children and a few other dogs in the big fenced yard to play in. We will definitely use Golda again!”
“Our Baxter came home happy and well taken care of. He can be shy around new people, we were comforted that when we picked him up he went over to them for pets. That shows us he was happy and comfortable with them. Michelle did a great job communicating and sending pictures.”
“Sharon is a loving and considerate companion that kept our elderly dog Kuma happy and healthy while we were away. Her wonderful attention to his daily needs was outstanding. Kuma enjoyed every minute of the warm and loving care Sharon gave to him everyday. The pictures and videos showed how he loved Sharon and how happy he was. Sharon would be an excellent pet sitter for your pets and we would highly recommend her services.”
“Hope & Ethan are GREAT people. They saved our Asheville weekend!! Cannot thank them enough for the great care of our baby. We will definitely use them again for our next Asheville trip!”
“We had a last minute boarding request and Molly was there to our rescue. Our Lab puppies loved running and playing in her huge fenced yard. Molly's two dogs accepted them into their pack in seconds and the fun zoomies began. We received several great pictures throughout their stay and could tell our pups were in good hands.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for several years, growing up we always had family dogs, and even now taking care of friends & families dogs while they are on vacation. My home has plenty of space as well as a nice sized backyard that they can run around and play in. My dog is always looking to make a friend and is very sweet towards people and other dogs. If you have specific instructions regarding care for your dog, I will make sure that they are cared for the way they are used to! I work full time as a waitress, and I am done most days by 2pm, so I have the rest of the day to take care of pups! I’m usually off Monday’s as well! I have a fenced in backyard, as well as a dog of my own to keep your dog company while I am at work! I have spare dog crates & bowls, unless you prefer to bring your own!
About: “I have taken care of dogs my whole life and currently have a sweet pug puppy named Willow. I love taking dogs on walks, giving them playtime, potty breaks, snuggles, and lots of attention. I treat every dog like my own — with patience, kindness, and positive reinforcement. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or an overnight stay, your pup will feel safe, happy and deeply loved in my care I work from home as an artist and am almost always here, so your dog will get consistent walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles throughout the day. They won’t be left alone except for quick errands. 🐾 My home is very dog-friendly with a fully fenced in yard, tons of toys, comfy dog beds, and lots of space to relax. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and in my bed (just like my own pups). I treat every dog like part of the family — with lots of love, patience, and positive reinforcement. 🐾
“Laird was great for our 1.5 year golden. We were from out of town but wanted to bring our pup with for some hiking but he couldn’t stay in the hotel. Laird was flexible as we want to pick him up for a hike and drop him back off the same day!”
“Jordan was super sweet and easy to book with! She was very responsive and accommodating, she took great care of my Lottie girl and I will 100% be using her in the future! Thank you, Jordan!”
“This was my pup Luna’s first time being boarded and Nancy went above and beyond all my expectations of what I thought pet boarding can be. She was able to accommodate Lunas specific needs, and put my mind at ease by keeping me present throughout her stay with pictures and updates on how Luna was adjusting without me. Nancy’s patience, care and love she provided to Luna was very evident when I picked her up. I would trust Nancy to take care of Luna again in a heartbeat. If you’re ever considering boarding your baby, I couldn’t recommend Nancy enough! 10/10”
“Toby had a great weekend with Ali and Penny. Ali took great care of him, gave frequent updates, and went above and beyond in her flexibility and taking care of our boy. Will definitely be asking her to watch Toby again next time I need a sitter.”
