“Lauren is absolutely amazing! She graciously accommodated an extremely last minute week-long booking for my Asher. Communication was excellent, with pictures! It was so reassuring to know that she has a fenced in backyard, which Asher enjoyed. I definitely recommend her and would be honored for Lauren to take care of my pup again! Thank you, Lauren!”

“Evie and Fritz are truly the best dog sitters I have ever used! Our dog Harper is usually very uncomfortable around new people and does not tend to do well when we go on trips. I could tell very early on that she looked happy and relaxed with them after being there for only about a day. They made a clear effort to get to know Harper and make her as comfortable as possible and sent me so many photos and video to keep me updated on how she was doing. Highly highly highly recommend Evie and Fritz, we will definitely be a repeat customer!!!”

“Our dogs had such a great time with Katrin! She has plenty of outdoor space for them to explore and truly treated them as if they were her own. She even mixed their meals with rice bc they had upset stomachs! She gave us plenty of updates and pictures, and our dogs always looked so happy in the photos. We will definitely book with her again!!”

“Amanda was great and my dog loved her stay with Amanda. We had some late changes in our plans and Amanda worked with us and quickly revised her schedule at the last minute. We will definitely choose Amanda again to watch our dog when we go away.”

“Excellent . My anxious dog calmed down with Alice and went to sleep near her. Alice also sent me the very best pictures. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask for her help again”

“Cathy took on our quirky, energetic boy with optimism and open arms. She patiently took notes on all his behavioral quirks and was happy to accommodate his need for longer walks. This was our first time boarding him, and he seemed to thrive at Cathy’s and enjoy tons of snuggles and pets. It was so nice to feel so at ease about him while we were traveling and we highly recommend Cathy!!”

“Our dog Winnie had the best time on her “vacation” at Emily and William’s house. She had four-legged playmates to run around with and two-legged family members that gave her lots of love and attention. Daily communication and photos confirmed that we needn’t worry about her - she was in excellent hands.”

“Amy & John took such good care of our two dogs, boarding them for nearly a week while we traveled. I was so appreciative and relieved they would consider us, as our young dog, River, is always curious and has a pretty strong prey drive. I wondered if he would be suited to life on their farm. Our other guy, Colton, is 15 and has significant arthritis. These two could not have more different needs at this point. Amy and John have a beautiful farm, two special rescued dogs, Bruno & Pork Chop, cattle, chickens, even emu. This would be a new experience for both our guys! Generally we spend a great deal of time with them off leash walking our family farms, but this would be a new property and boundaries without fencing. At our meet and greet it was clear Amy and John are special people. We admired them right away! They are very experienced, and were aptly methodical about the introduction of all the dogs and their other farm animals. Their confidence that this could work for all parties involved was reassuring. Amy and John went above and beyond, very kind to take our dogs a day earlier than planned with short notice, and welcomed our daughter, also new to them, who transported the dogs for us. They were excellent at communicating, sending us updates, pictures, and videos, even though we’d told them this was not necessary, as keeping up with River, his energy and curiosities, we knew could be a full time job in and of itself. But it gave us great peace of mind hearing early on that all was going well and there were no issues. Because of Amy & John’s care, patience, and diligence, after a full day with them we received the following, “..Bruno and River have become fast friends, running circles and playing hide and seek in the woods like wild things! We’re not using the leashes at all as we walk in the woods. River’s been absolutely perfect about coming back when we call him.” And I got the biggest kick out of, “I just got back from a walk with all four dogs, Pork Chop and Colton waddling behind me and River and Bruno having a blast playing chase.” Along with a picture Amy sent of River with his head poking through from behind her knees (as crazy as it sounds), something he humors only us with here at home, we KNEW both our guys felt comfortable, were happy and very much cared for. I could not imagine a more perfect scenario for our dogs. Now back at home, we can definitely sense they are missing Amy, John, Bruno, Pork Chop, and daily life on their farm. I’d love to arrange a play date to help with this, and I KNOW precisely what River and Colton’s reactions will be once we approach their farm. It’s clear this is a family that loves animals and cares so much for the well-being of all they have rescued and assumed responsibility for. They are kind, exceptional, hard-working individuals, and we feel so fortunate to have met them and to have our dogs cared for by them. This is who we will turn to any time we need care and boarding for our dogs!”

“Kelly was wonderful to my dog, Luna. She helped me in a pinch with a last-minute booking and was easy to communicate with before, during, and after my trip. It was clear Luna had a good time and was well cared for. I will absolutely board with Kelly in the future!”

“Very satisfactory stay! Ross and Sarah cared for my big dog who had lots of separation anxiety, working with her and accommodating her fears. They were kind and understanding - and sent lots of photos to reassure me! I'll definitely use them again!”

“We had the absolute best experience with Marilyn watching our dog, Bleu, over the past few days! From the moment we dropped him off, I felt completely at ease. We received constant updates, adorable photos, and sweet messages that made us smile every day. It was so clear Bleu was not only well cared for but loved—he got treats, snuggles, and tons of attention. Marilyn truly treated him like family. I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond for your pup, she’s it! We’ll definitely be booking again. 💙🐾”

“Cathryn was really good to Lucy! Her children loved her like their own. Great yard and very dog friendly. We learned Lucy is not good with resident cats so she won’t be back but we highly recommend for others!”


“We are always impressed with David. He is our go-to person on Rover for our dog. Our dog is a husky and is given plenty of time romping around in the yard. David often takes the dogs to a neighbors fenced in land and just lets the dogs run and explore in a safe environment. There’s even a small pond for them to splash and swim in. in addition, our dog is safely socialized as David will typically keep 2-3 dogs at a time and makes sure the dogs are staying are all friendly and compatible.”

“10 out of 5 stars! I felt so comfortable with Angel and Yara (and daughter Zoe) taking care of my dog. I got every day feedback and videos, and it was obvious my Cooper was happy and well cared for. I was afraid he wouldn’t want to leave and come home with me - but I guess he loves me too. 😁😁😁 Thank you for giving us a worry-free vacation.”

“Our 23 month old yellow lab Dillon had the time of his life for a whole week. He hasn't been away from home except short day trips here and there since we brought him into our lives at 6 weeks old. For the first time he got to play with other dogs including her's, her beautiful children, also 2 cats and of course Anna. As a matter of fact he came home a better behaved dog. When I asked Anna what she did to train him, she said nothing, he must have picked it up from my dogs. Note she is a professional dog trainer and has well trained dogs. She is a a physically, spiritually and intellectually beautiful lady too bad there are only 5 stars cause I'll give her 6.”

“Rebecca is nothing short of a ROCK STAR kitty sitter! Not everyone "gets" cats but she is the cat whisperer to my kitty Stitch. He absolutely loves her and it makes such a difference when we are away to have someone who has a sweet connection to my fur baby. She is an outstanding pet sitter. I joked that we might have to work out a "joint custody" arrangement because he loves her so!”

“Grateful for Deb’s care for our cat while we were away for a week. Despite our cat being rather anti-social and always hiding from new people, she always had a picture of our cat to share with us when she visited which was great! She left our cat’s space neat and tidy too.”

“Kathryn did a wonderful job of taking care of Missy. She hung out with her and took care of her and made sure that she was happy. I would definitely recommend booking her and will work with her again in the future.”


About: I have cat sitted for various neighbors and friends, both of old and younger age, and with the aggressive ones, so I have experience for every type of cat that I come across. I also have pets of my own, 2 dogs and 3 cats, so I know how to care for 5 different pets at the same time, and address each of their needs.

“I am so thankful to have found Kimberly on such short notice. She took great care of my cat Cheddar. Kimberly was very professional, kind, friendly and responded quickly. I highly recommend her and will gladly have her take care of Cheddar again.”


About: I've been caring for cats since I was 10 years old. My pet sitting journey actually began with my neighbor's cat, who took an instant liking to me and became my very first client. These days, I share my home with two chaos gremlins of my own, and cats remain one of my greatest passions in life.
“Excellent service Fantastic with the cats lots of attention! They usually hide from strangers but they come out when Meredith check in . They truly like her. Thank you sooo much Meredith for taking good care of my cats. I feel relaxed and confident they are in good hands!”

“Brittany took exceptionally good care of our cat while we were out of the country with very little access to our phones to check in. We felt completely confident in her abilities on our vacation.”


“Brianna was wonderful! Her update are great - above and beyond. it truly seemed like our cats didn't even notice we were away! Brianna will be the first person I call when I travel.”


“Elena did an incredible job caring for our babies while we were out of town for a week. She spent lots of time loving and playing with our girl, Salem. She even tried her best to win over our semi-feral boy, Crush. We will definitely book her anytime that we need a pet/house sitter.”

“Our regular sitter of over 10 years was unavailable so we met with Amanda and two other potential caregivers. While they all were quite competent, there was something special about Amanda…and we hired her to care for our 14 year old cat. Amanda had big shoes to fill in following our regular sitter, but she did an outstanding job! We would hire her again in a heartbeat. The only downside was the cumbersome communication through the Rover app.”

About: I love playing with and caring for animals. I know it’s hard to be there for your pet at all times, so I would love to help you with your needs. I love to play, walk, bathe, swim, and do pretty much whatever it is your animal needs. I am comfortable with all ages, sizes and breeds. If needed, I can administer medicines. I am available days , weeknights and weekends at all times. I have had my own dogs and other pets since I was 7 years old, so I am hoping that I can care for your pets the way that I have always cared for my own. Pet care is part of my everyday routine. I’m used to morning and evening walks, feeding on a schedule, meds when needed, and plenty of playtime and snuggles built into my day. I plan my errands and social stuff around animals being let out, fed, and comfortable, so adding your pets into that rhythm feels really natural for me. When I’m in a pet’s home, I stick to their normal routine as closely as possible – same feeding schedule, walk times, and sleeping spots. I do regular check-ins for food, water, potty breaks, and meds if needed, and I always build in playtime and cuddles so they’re not just ‘being watched,’ they’re actually getting attention. I keep the home tidy, follow any house rules you leave, and send photo updates so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away.

“Danielle and Sebastian did a great job with my cat, he was very happy and calm when I got home which is a great sign! The house was so clean and they took care of the dishes and bedding which was so appreciated.”


“Tristina did a wonderful job taking care of my cat. She was easy to get a hold of and kept me updated on my cats well being (she is on medications and needed them administered while I was away) I'll be hiring her again for sure.”

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with over 10 years of experience working in the veterinary field, so your dog’s health, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m confident caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including those who may need extra patience, structure, or special attention. My fiancé has 15+ years of professional dog training experience, which means your pup benefits from consistent handling, basic training reinforcement, and a calm, structured environment while in our care. We work as a team to make sure every dog feels secure, understood, and well cared for. We’re an outdoors-loving household with dogs of our own, so we truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. Our property includes plenty of safely fenced-in space for supervised play, exercise, and enrichment—perfect for dogs who love to run, explore, and burn off energy. Whether your dog enjoys active playtime, peaceful walks, or just relaxing with people who genuinely love dogs, we’re happy to tailor care to their individual needs. You can feel confident knowing your pup will be treated like one of our own while you’re away. I work full-time Mon-Fri from 8am–4pm, and my fiancé is home during the day, only leaving occasionally for training sessions. Dogs are let outside multiple times throughout the day for potty breaks, play, and exercise. We’re happy to feed, administer medications, and follow special care routines as needed to match your dog’s normal schedule. All pet sitting is done in our home only, allowing us to closely monitor every dog in our care. Our backyard is fully enclosed with a 6-foot privacy fence, providing a secure space for supervised play and exercise. The front yard is enclosed with a 4-foot fence and is typically used when my daughter is outside or for small dogs who prefer calmer, smaller play groups. Our home sits on approximately 1.5 acres, giving dogs plenty of room to stretch their legs while remaining in a controlled, safe environment. Dogs are always supervised outdoors, and we carefully separate playtime when needed to ensure every pup feels comfortable and secure.
“Tara has been incredible not only for Mr. Loki but for myself as well. He was excited to meet her even on our meet and greet before we started care and was immediately comfortable with her and her other dogs who are sweethearts as well. He’s been over there for a couple of weeks, but in that time, I’ve dropped him off and picked him up with the biggest smile on his face. She’s helped a lot with training as well since he’s my first dog I’ve had and he’s doing really well with that both at her home and at mine as I learn proper commands too. Communicates very thoroughly with me on how he was throughout the day, what he learned, and his overall behavior and she’s very attentive to care instructions. I couldn’t be happier with her care and honestly wish we found her earlier!”

“My mini poodle has separation anxiety and Sarah and her husband took great of him. I could tell by the picture of him he was relaxed and felt safe. I can't wait to use Sarah again and recommend that others do the same if you are seeking a warm and kind environment for your babies!”

“Zydae was great with my puppy. She agreed to watch her on short notice and provided pics and videos throughout the day of my girl. I would definitely recommend her!!!”

“Can I give six stars?? Evie and Fritz provided the exact care we were looking for. Great spaces for playing and cuddling, steady stream of attention, and pure love for dogs. When our pup got too distracted to eat dinner, they sat with her to make sure she was fully fed. Highly recommend and cannot wait to book with them again!”

“Jack loves to visit Amanda! Our six month old Australian Cattle Dog gets excited when he realizes we are near to Amanda’s place. He get to play with other dogs and returns home tired and happy. He will continue to have “play days at Amanda’s “ because he enjoys it so much.”

About: DISCLAIMER * As of 10/26/2024 * If i cannot meet you and your pets before the start of the booking, i will not accept the booking. This has become a safety issue for me. I will no longer be able to accept verbal verification that your pet will be fine with a stranger entering the home. (Exceptions are small puppies) I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10. My neighbor growing up had 4 cats, that I loved dearly! She was the first person who allowed me to watch her fur babies when she went on vacation! I've pet sat many times since then. Dogs big and small of all breeds from a little pug to a 100lb+ Rottweiler. I own a 85lb pit bull mix and a 10lb weenier dog. 🐶 They are my babies.💗 I can drop in anytime to check on your fur babies. Spend extra time with them. I do bathing, and walks also! If you need your fur babies to be crated, no problem! I will make sure their safety comes first. You can put your mind at ease knowing your pets will be taken care of! This is my full time job, I enjoy every second of it! So day or night I can always do a drop in visit or a walk! Your pets safety comes first! So during a meet and greet I will be going over a small list of questions to make sure I can take care of your fur baby to the best of my ability. With this I create a “pet profile” so when you need to rebook with me I’ve already got a reference to look back at. EXAMPLE; if your dog is good with other animals, or if there is a certain amount of food that needs to be given. These are just notes I make for myself, and so you can rest assured your fur baby is getting the best care!

About: I’m an experienced and attentive dog caregiver who truly loves spending time with animals. Over the years, I’ve cared for many dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have a large, fully fenced yard that gives dogs plenty of room to run, play, and explore safely. I’m very observant and hands-on, so pet parents can feel confident that their dogs will receive lots of attention, supervision, exercise, and affection throughout their stay. I work from home and have plenty of time and attention to give to your dog(s). I wake up early so we can get outside before it gets too hot. Happy for short or long stays! I have an acre fenced yard that is reinforced every few inches that is full of fun and smells and space to run. They will always be supervised, and indoors there is lots of cozy spots to lay and/or cuddle.
About: What makes me special? Everything!!! A dog has always been a family member since I can remember. Thank God for loving parents who believed in bringing all kinds of pets in our home. We had birds, hamsters, and even the occasional snake or frog from the yard! There is a certain bond you get from a dog that you cannot get from any other animal, though...and I am lucky enough to have experienced that. My parents are proud owners of a rescue cat, and my sister's family has 3 kitties in their happy home!! They also have a sweet little gerbil that has somehow survived all of those felines! You can definitely tell we are a family of animal lovers!!! Since February 2017, my family "farm" has grown. I raised 21 babychicks from a day old...8 of which were ours, the rest for 2 other families...then we added 3 more, barely mature, hens and a rooster to our flock. It has definitely been a fun and wonderful learning experience! I have a wonderful rescued Pit, Buddy! We raised those chicks with Buddy around...so he is great with them! It's pretty amazing!!! (Oh...and just to clarify...Buddy will stay home during any visits/stays with your pet(s). That way you'll know your baby/babies are receiving the full attention they deserve!) Buddy is probably the most spoiled dog in the world because I make practically everything for him, from his shampoos (using essential oils) to his treats. He does get the dental treats at least once a day, but other than that...he's a gourmet doggie! I am a stay-at-home pup Mom...so on the 24 hour overnight visits with me, I'll only need to leave a couple of times during the day to take Buddy out to play, etc....he'll be with his Dad all night. Otherwise, I'm all yours, so if you need someone there to take your baby out literally every 2 hours or less, I can do it!! :-) I do Daycare a little different than Rover does...I only offer daycare in your home. I feel this is the best way to keep your pets in a place they feel super comfortable & with a sitter who will keep them happy, healthy and on their schedule completely. I will always keep you up to date on how your pet or pets are doing and will send you plenty of pictures if you wish! Extras services available: Baths with or w/o essential oils, Homemade bath soap with essential oils to-go (made with any requested oils from list), Doggie bag of treats to-go (made to your pet's dietary needs.) I have numerous flours available to meet any digestive issues. - No preservatives & human-grade (though some flavors may not suit human's taste buds!) By the way...I am no salesperson... & will never try to sell you any extras...these are just other things I offer if you are interested. Just feel free to ask if you are interested. :-)

“Brittney was wonderful with my dogs. She was great at communicating promptly and she made sure to always consider them. I really appreciated the service she provided and would definitely recommend her to others!”


About: Hey hey! I love all animals but I'm partial to dogs. I have 2 of my own, both chihuahuas. They're 6 and 7 years old. I've had pets all my life. Large and small. I have quite a bit of experience in training and I love working on puppy manners. I have a soft spot for small dogs and pit bulls! I can't wait to meet your babies! I currently am home full time. I am a hobby bakery. I need to get moving around more so I'm available to meet up to 2-3 times per day every day and weekly if needed. I don't usually care for other people's pets in my home. I prefer to do drop in visits and sit in the home of the owners.
About: I've been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, and over the years, friends and neighbors have trusted me with the special care of their beloved pets. For over a year, I worked in a lab-like setting providing daily care to a wide variety of exotic animals, including reptiles, amphibians, small mammals and birds. My responsibilities included feeding, cleaning, and general husbandry for each species. I also have experience caring for senior animals, including administering medication and performing nail trims, so I'm comfortable with pets who need a little extra attention and care. I currently work part-time and am finishing up my Associate's degree, which gives me a good amount of flexibility during the week to care for your fur babies. On days I work an 8-hour shift, there may be a slightly longer gap between potty breaks, but I always plan ahead and communicate clearly so you know exactly what to expect. Providing consistent, quality care for your animals is a top priority for me, no matter my schedule. When I care for your pets in their own environment, I bring nothing but comfort and love. I give excellent cuddles and scritches, and genuinely enjoy enriching their day with play. I know when to be calm and reassuring, and when to be playful and energetic, adapting to match each pet's unique personality. Every animal I care for receives quality, individualized attention tailored to exactly what they need. Above all, you can count on me to be reliable and consistent, every single time.
About: Hi there! I’ve had pets my entire life and currently have a 6 year old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix, so I’m no stranger to high energy dogs that need structure, exercise, and plenty of mental stimulation. Through caring for my own dog and helping friends and family with theirs over the years, I’ve gained experience with everything from daily walks and feeding routines to enrichment, playtime, and providing extra patience for anxious or reactive pups. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. One of the perks of working freelance is having a flexible schedule! That means I can often accommodate daytime walks, drop-ins, and last-minute requests. I love spending time with animals, so getting to care for pets throughout my week is something I genuinely enjoy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I’ve been trusted by friends and mutual friends to care for both their homes and pets over the years, so I understand how important that trust is and don’t take it lightly. I treat every home with respect, provide regular updates, and strive to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away.
About: Hello! I have owned and cared for dogs for over 10 years. I specialize in small dog breeds of all ages. I have two small dogs of my own, and one has that classic small dog sass! My goal is for your pet to forgot that mom/dad is not around, and have fun/release their energy while maintaining their normal schedule. I have cared for multiple dogs ranging in weight from 5-40lbs for personal clients. I always treat every pet that I work with like they are my own children, because let’s face it, they are! I am currently available every day until I start a new position in August. Then my availability will shift to Monday-Friday after 5:30pm and any time on the weekend. I am very responsive, dependable, timely, and treat each dog like they are my own. I am respectful and will follow any specific instructions in your home!
About: I am a college graduate and I work full time as a server. I’m available on weekdays and most weekends. I have a male black lab at home. I used to have a senior black lab mix but we had to put her down due to cancer. I have experience at the animal shelter and with my own dogs at home. I have lived with dogs all my life and I have lots of experience to take care of them. Dogs are my favorite animal and the one we have is pretty big. He is 90 pounds. He loves to swim and fetch the ball. I love cats and dogs! I want to make your pets as happy as possible. I would be a great pet sitter! I work 4 days a week as a server so pet care fits into my weekly routine! 2025 Schedule: Working location: Hillsborough, Durham, Chapel Hill, Raleigh area In my clients home I will care for your pets by putting on their leash, making sure they have food and water, and looking at the notes from the client. In my home I have a trail and a fenced yard.
“Tristina was able to come walk my dog with very short notice. She was kind, loving, and my dog SERIOUSLY loved her. He loves everyone, but he had an instant connection with her. She was comfortable with walking him, even tho he was really excited. She listened carefully to my instructions and made sure to follow the training we are doing with him since he's still a puppy and we're still training him. She took him on a 1.2 mile walk. She showed up on time and returned him on time. I will be hiring her again for sure! Thanks!”

“Lauren is absolutely amazing! She graciously accommodated an extremely last minute week-long booking for my Asher. Communication was excellent, with pictures! It was so reassuring to know that she has a fenced in backyard, which Asher enjoyed. I definitely recommend her and would be honored for Lauren to take care of my pup again! Thank you, Lauren!”

“Evie and Fritz are truly the best dog sitters I have ever used! Our dog Harper is usually very uncomfortable around new people and does not tend to do well when we go on trips. I could tell very early on that she looked happy and relaxed with them after being there for only about a day. They made a clear effort to get to know Harper and make her as comfortable as possible and sent me so many photos and video to keep me updated on how she was doing. Highly highly highly recommend Evie and Fritz, we will definitely be a repeat customer!!!”

“Our dogs had such a great time with Katrin! She has plenty of outdoor space for them to explore and truly treated them as if they were her own. She even mixed their meals with rice bc they had upset stomachs! She gave us plenty of updates and pictures, and our dogs always looked so happy in the photos. We will definitely book with her again!!”

“Amanda was great and my dog loved her stay with Amanda. We had some late changes in our plans and Amanda worked with us and quickly revised her schedule at the last minute. We will definitely choose Amanda again to watch our dog when we go away.”

“Cathy took on our quirky, energetic boy with optimism and open arms. She patiently took notes on all his behavioral quirks and was happy to accommodate his need for longer walks. This was our first time boarding him, and he seemed to thrive at Cathy’s and enjoy tons of snuggles and pets. It was so nice to feel so at ease about him while we were traveling and we highly recommend Cathy!!”

“Our dog Winnie had the best time on her “vacation” at Emily and William’s house. She had four-legged playmates to run around with and two-legged family members that gave her lots of love and attention. Daily communication and photos confirmed that we needn’t worry about her - she was in excellent hands.”

“Amy & John took such good care of our two dogs, boarding them for nearly a week while we traveled. I was so appreciative and relieved they would consider us, as our young dog, River, is always curious and has a pretty strong prey drive. I wondered if he would be suited to life on their farm. Our other guy, Colton, is 15 and has significant arthritis. These two could not have more different needs at this point. Amy and John have a beautiful farm, two special rescued dogs, Bruno & Pork Chop, cattle, chickens, even emu. This would be a new experience for both our guys! Generally we spend a great deal of time with them off leash walking our family farms, but this would be a new property and boundaries without fencing. At our meet and greet it was clear Amy and John are special people. We admired them right away! They are very experienced, and were aptly methodical about the introduction of all the dogs and their other farm animals. Their confidence that this could work for all parties involved was reassuring. Amy and John went above and beyond, very kind to take our dogs a day earlier than planned with short notice, and welcomed our daughter, also new to them, who transported the dogs for us. They were excellent at communicating, sending us updates, pictures, and videos, even though we’d told them this was not necessary, as keeping up with River, his energy and curiosities, we knew could be a full time job in and of itself. But it gave us great peace of mind hearing early on that all was going well and there were no issues. Because of Amy & John’s care, patience, and diligence, after a full day with them we received the following, “..Bruno and River have become fast friends, running circles and playing hide and seek in the woods like wild things! We’re not using the leashes at all as we walk in the woods. River’s been absolutely perfect about coming back when we call him.” And I got the biggest kick out of, “I just got back from a walk with all four dogs, Pork Chop and Colton waddling behind me and River and Bruno having a blast playing chase.” Along with a picture Amy sent of River with his head poking through from behind her knees (as crazy as it sounds), something he humors only us with here at home, we KNEW both our guys felt comfortable, were happy and very much cared for. I could not imagine a more perfect scenario for our dogs. Now back at home, we can definitely sense they are missing Amy, John, Bruno, Pork Chop, and daily life on their farm. I’d love to arrange a play date to help with this, and I KNOW precisely what River and Colton’s reactions will be once we approach their farm. It’s clear this is a family that loves animals and cares so much for the well-being of all they have rescued and assumed responsibility for. They are kind, exceptional, hard-working individuals, and we feel so fortunate to have met them and to have our dogs cared for by them. This is who we will turn to any time we need care and boarding for our dogs!”

“Very satisfactory stay! Ross and Sarah cared for my big dog who had lots of separation anxiety, working with her and accommodating her fears. They were kind and understanding - and sent lots of photos to reassure me! I'll definitely use them again!”

“We had the absolute best experience with Marilyn watching our dog, Bleu, over the past few days! From the moment we dropped him off, I felt completely at ease. We received constant updates, adorable photos, and sweet messages that made us smile every day. It was so clear Bleu was not only well cared for but loved—he got treats, snuggles, and tons of attention. Marilyn truly treated him like family. I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond for your pup, she’s it! We’ll definitely be booking again. 💙🐾”

“Cathryn was really good to Lucy! Her children loved her like their own. Great yard and very dog friendly. We learned Lucy is not good with resident cats so she won’t be back but we highly recommend for others!”


“We are always impressed with David. He is our go-to person on Rover for our dog. Our dog is a husky and is given plenty of time romping around in the yard. David often takes the dogs to a neighbors fenced in land and just lets the dogs run and explore in a safe environment. There’s even a small pond for them to splash and swim in. in addition, our dog is safely socialized as David will typically keep 2-3 dogs at a time and makes sure the dogs are staying are all friendly and compatible.”

“10 out of 5 stars! I felt so comfortable with Angel and Yara (and daughter Zoe) taking care of my dog. I got every day feedback and videos, and it was obvious my Cooper was happy and well cared for. I was afraid he wouldn’t want to leave and come home with me - but I guess he loves me too. 😁😁😁 Thank you for giving us a worry-free vacation.”

“Tori and her family took such great care of our small older dog who has some health issues including med administration needs and occasional pain due to previous cancer. Everything from getting holly to their home (Tori last minute offered to pick Holly Up and this was a godsend because our trip was last minute and we were trying to coordinate many other things) to start her visit to pick up and updates in between were great. Her sons are very gentle and natural animal lovers so that was not any concern even though our dog generally prefers calm environments. I would highly recommend Tori and her family for caring for your pet!”


“Britteny was great and Fiona loved her stay. I couldn't of asked for a better experience. Britteny made it feel like a second home for Fiona and updated me daily with pics and texts.”

“Melissa and Michael took such great care of Joey. They treated him and loved him as if he was their own, and in every picture they sent I could tell how happy he was. Will definitely be boarding with them again. I highly recommend them!”

“Erin and her hubby are amazing! They took such good care of my pup, sent daily pics and vids, and even administered her meds. My baby girl had a great time on her “vacation” and got along well with Lani. I would definitely recommend them and will certainly be using them again! Thanks so much, Erin!”
