Personalized care for your dog or cat - Franklin

Highly-rated overnight sitters - Franklin
“Nicolas and Renee are incredibly wonderful. They made Louie feel right at home and at ease, which is important since it’s our first time leaving him. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. They kept us updated daily with pictures and took excellent care of him. When we picked him up, he smelled great. They’re truly the best. I highly recommend their family to anyone looking for a quality, safe, and reliable place for their pet.”


“Carla was wonderful with Finn! He has stayed with her twice now, and both experiences have been great. She made me feel completely comfortable, but most importantly Finn who is a bit clingy and needs lots of attention. Would definitely recommend Carla for anyone needing pet care :)”

“Gabriela did an amazing job taking care of our Diesel for 4 days while we were on vacation. She was caring, responsible, and made sure Diesel was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. She kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Diesel and treated him like her own. We came back to a happy and well-cared-for dog! I highly recommend Gabriela to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and dependable dog sitter. We would definitely have her take care of Diesel again! ❤️🐾”

“Sujanna is an amazing person clearly cut out for the job that she does. She took amazing care of Rebel and was very communicative with Rebel’s daily activities. She sent pictures and videos detailing day’s events and best of all, Rebel was clearly so happy with her. I will not look elsewhere if I need a sitter again. Thank you so much Sujanna.”

“I had such a great experience with Steven and his family! From the very beginning, they were warm, welcoming, and professional, which immediately put me at ease about leaving my dog in their care. My pup felt comfortable with them right away, and I could tell how much they truly love and understand animals. They provided excellent overnight care, kept me updated, and made sure my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. I came home to a relaxed and content pup, which says it all! I highly recommend Steven to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I’ll definitely be using them again in the future.”


“Thanks Christopher, you did a great job having Kaya, she is healthy and happy after staying with you! Will recommend you to my friends and next time when I have to go on vacation, I'll ask you to have Kaya with you once more, if you don't mind!”

“Chris did an awesome treating my dog as his own!! He never books more than 1 dog while sitting and my dog got a long great with his. He sent updates to keep my family at ease. I will definitely be using him in the future. THANKS AGAIN!!!”

“Kevin and his wife were great; able to take my 2 dogs at short notice . kept me advised how they were doing and flexible to work with my odd schedule. would recommend them to others.”


“So thankful to have found someone for our Keira. Morgan responded quickly for a short notice weekend trip and was quick to respond to my inquiries while we were gone as to how Keira was doing. We usually use a local kennel but have found that she comes home sad. She needs a lot of human interaction. Without her pack, she gets lonely. She came home much happier this time. Morgan and her family obviously made Keira feel very at home.”

“Fiona is awesome and very accommodating. As an overprotective pet parent,she felt very trustworthy early on. Fiona kept us informed and sent lots of pics. Titan really likes her also and he ran right in when we dropped him off. I would 100% recommend Fiona to anyone looking for a sitter that gives the family experience to your furbaby!”


“This was our first time away from our pets so we were concerned about how they would handle being in a new environment considering not being completely trained and being exposed to other dogs for the first time. Well, having our initial meeting with Debra at her amazing Doggy ranch and seeing our pups running all over her two acre fenced in property was all it took! We found our place! Not to mention Debra's amazing helpers who love your pets as much as you do (if not more) if that was possible! Her helpers are non other than her husband and Father who are equally amazing! They actually are sad to see your pets go as they become attached to them. If your looking for a place look no further. Mike H”

About: I have been pet-sitting for my neighbors, boss, and co-workers since 2010. While I occasionally board pets in my home, I usually provide pet/house-sitting in the customer's home. I walk/feed/brush dogs, administer oral medication if indicated, and spend time playing with them. I also take in mail, water plants, and take out trash/recycling. I am a newly retired teacher, now only working part time. I am available for your pet care needs early morning, early afternoon, & evenings. If I am providing care in my home, I can offer to take dogs for a walk in a nearby state park. I try to keep the pets' feeding and walking schedules consistent with that of the owners.
“I have been so impressed with Natalie - she is truly an animal lover and took care of my chai like her own. Shes took him for walks, gave him treats, played with him, sent me pictures and updates along the way - I felt so comforted leaving him with her. She’s truly amazing!”

“Very positive experience with a 5 night boarding stay with Carolina's family. She's very pleasant to deal with, and she seems to be a very experienced dog owner. My dog seems to have really enjoyed his stay, playing with her Sheepadoodle. They have a very nice enclosed backyard where the dogs can plan outside. It made it very easy to go away on vacation for the week knowing our dog was in good hands. Will definitely rebook in the future and would highly recommend.”

Cat caregivers near you - Franklin

About: Ever since I was 5 years old we have had cats of our own. I love cats and I understand their need for playfulness as well as autonomy! My current cats, Luca and Coco are very different, but I love them both! It is so cool to treat them like little humans and give them their space when I know they want to be alone, but they do always show up for some treats - every time!

“Kimberly was amazing! I’m glad to have found her. She took such good care of my cat while I was away and left the best updates with photos that gave me confidence through out the week. I will absolutely be rebooking with Kimberly on my next trip. Thank you so much!!”


“Taylor was absolutely incredible with our two cats from daily updates to pictures. Our one cat has diabetes needing insulin twice a day. She came for a meet and greet and was absolutely wonderful with both our cats. I would highly recommended Taylor especially if you have animals with medical conditions!”


“Second time Laura took care of our fur babies. She’s is great with them, I have no worries about leaving them in her care. Thank you Laura and thank you Rover!”

“Tammie was an absolute lifesaver while I was on vacation! She came three times a day to care for my cat, including administering oral medication, which can be a challenge—but she handled it with total professionalism and care. She was always on time, incredibly communicative, and sent regular updates that really helped me relax while I was away. When our flight was unexpectedly delayed, she didn’t hesitate to make additional last-minute visits to make sure my cat was safe and comfortable. Her flexibility and dedication truly went above and beyond. It’s such a relief to know my pet is in such capable and compassionate hands. I will 100% be booking with Tammie again and can’t recommend her highly enough!”

“Jennifer was excellent, especially when it came to meeting my 12 year-old fear reactive Australian Sheppard. We took the meet and greet slow to make sure everyone was comfortable. It worked because their first check-in visit went very well.”

“We recently added a new cat to our family and were a bit anxious about leaving both kitties while we were away. Kathryn gave us a completely worry-free experience! She treated our cats like they were her own—playing with them, interacting daily, and making sure they felt loved and cared for. We received detailed updates and adorable daily photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her service was worth every penny, and we’ll absolutely be reaching out to Rover and Kathryn again the next time we travel. Highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of family animals my entire life & foster failed with my rescue 7 years ago. I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes! I am happy to do a meet and greet to make sure we are a good match :) I work fully remote so I am available all day to either host day care or sit in your home! I can provide frequent walks, potty breaks, and 1:1 supervision. In / from your home I will provide long walks in nearby parks / the sidewalk, play catch, and explore. If you have a fenced in yard or common area and prefer your doggo play there, that’s great as well
About: Animals have always had my heart. I provide one on one care because I understand that being away from home can be stressful for some dogs. My goal is to make every boarding experience feel safe, loving, and as seamless as possible. With many years of experience caring for dogs, I tailor my care to each pet's individual needs and routine. I work from home and create my own schedule, giving me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and personalized care throughout the day. I live in a townhouse in a quiet, friendly gated community with plenty of safe sidewalks and green space for enjoyable walks. I love taking pups on walks and spending time outdoors whenever their owners approve. If your dog uses wee wee pads, I'm happy to accommodate that as well. And if they're used to sleeping in bed with you, they're welcome to cuddle up with me too! I only care for one family's dog(s) at a time, allowing me to give your pet my full attention in a calm, low-stress environment. Every dog is treated like family: with patience, kindness, and lots of love. I'd love to meet you and your pup! Let's schedule a meet and greet to make sure it's the perfect fit and ensure your dog's stay is comfortable, happy, and stress-free. 💗 I make my own schedule and work from home. I have the time to care for your pet one on one and give them the attention they deserve. I love taking the animals for walks and getting them out in nature if permitted. I have a nice yard for them to sunbathe and get fresh air. If you require wee wee pads, I can accommodate that as well. Your Dog is welcome to sleep In the bed with me, if parents allow that. I treat all of my dogs like they’re my own and like they are family. 💓 Let's schedule a meet and greet and get your boarding process seamlessly started!
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, including my own pets since I was 10. I also worked at a dog kennel and as a dog grooming assistant when I was younger, and I’ve dog-sat for other families. These experiences taught me how to safely handle dogs, help with bathing, and keep them calm and comfortable in new places. What makes me different from many sitters is my experience with senior, disabled, and recovering dogs. I’ve cared for pets after surgery and illness, including staying up overnight to watch them, hand-feeding, helping them move around, and gently taking them outside. I also cared for my disabled Lab whose back legs didn’t work, helping with bathroom needs, cleaning, and daily comfort. Because of this, I’m very patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for dogs who need extra help, medications, or a slower pace. I treat every dog like family and focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily schedule. I complete my schoolwork through flexible online classes, which allows me to be home most of the day. Because of this, I’m able to give pets frequent attention, regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, and companionship throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I’m used to caring for pets as part of my daily routine at home, including feeding, cleaning, and making sure they are comfortable and safe. This flexible schedule allows me to be reliable and fully present for the pets in my care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get walks or potty breaks, and receive lots of attention and playtime. I also give any medications if needed and keep their space clean. I respect the client’s home and keep everything tidy, including cleaning up pet messes, washing bowls if needed, and making sure doors and gates stay secure. I send updates and photos so owners know their pet is safe and happy. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed and cared for while their family is away.

“Brenda and Francis went above and beyond! They understood my needs and those of my fur babies and soon became friends with two of them. I had warned Brenda the other cat had been feral and does not do well under stress and would most likely hide under the bed and not make an appearance. She made sure she left her cat food every day where she would find it and the boys would not eat it. She left her kitty treats every day for her to find. Of course, the boys needed no coaxing! She sent me pictures every day. I would book her again in an instant!”

“This is the first time I have left my boys in the care of someone other than family and I couldn’t be happier. Ashley was not only quick to respond (which is important to me) , but also left me with such peace of mind. She sent me pictures and went the extra step to make sure I felt comfortable. I highly recommend her.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Franklin
“Nina did an awesome job taking care of Duke. When I picked him up he was smiling, and then immediately fell a asleep in the car. He was a very happy puppy and I would definitely use Nina again in the future!”

“They were warm and welcoming from the beginning. Emma seemed comfortable wandering around their home and being with them. They saved me just by being available on Thanksgiving! I would definitely use them again!!”


“Have been using Morgan for about 5 months now and Duke absolutely loves going there! She is great with responding and is flexible with scheduling. My fiance's schedule changes every month and is never the same week to week and she is great with us scheduling on a need basis. Will definitely be using all her services when needed and continue to bring Duke there.”

About: My husband and I have lived in Lake Mohawk for 22 years. We have 4 wonderful children, all of which love animals. In addition to our children, we have a wonderfully trained female Havachon named Bella, whom we have raised since she was a puppy. Bella loves to play with other dogs, however she mostly enjoys laying and cuddling most of the day. We are an active family and love all animals and outdoorsy activities, as well as the occasional lazy day, vegging out and playing a competitive game of Ticket to Ride or cuddling on the couch with our pup to watch a classic movie like our favorite, The Goonies! Both my husband and I grew up with dogs, and when I was a teenager, I raised a dog for the Seeing Eye. After getting married, our first fur baby was our beloved Toby, our Shi-a-poo, who we raised as a pup until he recently passed away at the old age of 19! After staying home with my children and fur babies for over 15 years, I recently went back to my first job, a teacher, in the local school district. While we no longer offer pet sitting in our home, we would love to offer drop in visits, and daily walks afterschool, evenings or during the weekends to give your fur baby some lov'n and activity while you're away! Depending on your fur baby's needs, during each visit, we will check food & water levels, give a 5 - 10 minute play session and a quick potty break outside. If you want, leave us a leash and we'll take your pup on a 20-30 min walk around the neighborhood to explore and get some exercise! We want to ease your worries that while you're away, your pup will be given lots of love and care! I'm a school teacher who has my afternoons (after 2:30pm) and weekends free to drop in and give your pup plenty of lov'n and care! Check in with me during summer & holiday breaks, too, bc when school is off, I have the whole day free to check in on your fur baby! Upon arrival, I always let my furry friends smell and get acquainted with me before feeding or letting outside. I want my new furry friends to trust me completely that I'm there to give them the best care possible!

About: I am a lifelong animal lover, highly experienced with “escape artists”. I only look after pets from a single household and I work from home so your pet(s) will have all the attention they need and deserve. I have experience with dogs, both young and old. Whether they need medication or potty pads, I’ve got it handled! I live in a quiet subdivision that makes for great walks, and I have a fenced in yard. NO pets are unsupervised at any time outside. I take great pride in the fact you can rest easy and know your pet is in great care! I work from home and my schedule is relative flexible. I have time to take dogs out 3 times a day (or more if required). This also allows me to get some play time in throughout the day. I do not make commitments to others when I am watching your pets, so they will always have supervision I have a fenced in yard and I live in a quiet subdivision. I have a small friendly dog that likes to keep to herself (cat friendly as well). And I have large and medium crates, if your pets prefers to sleep in one as well as plenty of space if you prefer to provide your own.
About: I've had dogs my whole life, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of who I am. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routines, and comfort needs, and I make sure to treat each one like my own. What sets me apart is the patience and attention I give-whether that means extra playtime, slow walks for the older pups, or just being present for snuggles and reassurance. I pay attention to the small things: their favorite toys, how they like to be greeted, and what makes them feel safe. My goal is to always make sure your dog feels loved, comfortable, and understood. I am a college student looking for some extra money, I am available all week day morning and evenings, as well as weekends. Very flexible!! I am pet CPR + First Aid certified! I make sure all dogs feel safe, loved, and comfortable. All dogs have their own personality so instead of them feeling the need to adjust I adjust to their needs.
“David was amazing. We had a last minute outing planned that wasn't pup friendly. The night before David responded within minutes and offered to help out for a full 12 hours. It was the first time we were leaving our pup with anyone and he graciously agreed to meeting him the same night. The day of David sent updates without any request and was understand with pick up time (we we're a little late due to some traffic). Our pup was happy and well taken care of.”

“Jennifer had my dog for two days of daycare in a row. I thought she did an excellent job and had had the feeling that she was really looking out for my dog’s needs and very concerned for his well-being. She had two very friendly dogs of her own for him to hang out with as well. It’s very clear that she has a deep compassion for animals and for their well-being and I would trust her with your Pup as well.”

“Our little golden Havanese had a wonderful time with Irem and her husband! She spent the day with them on Friday, and was eager to go back the next day. She made a new friend, a beautiful golden retriever, who she enjoyed spending the day with. Irem gave her plenty of snuggle time, and she seemed perfectly content both days when we picked her up. This was our first Rover experience, and we were grateful it went so well! Thank you, Irem!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Franklin

About: I have been walking an awesome dog almost daily, he is a very energetic and adorable 8 year old Pitbull/Boxer/Rhodesian Ridgeback rescue mix named Chewy and I have loved every minute.

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover who's been surrounded by dogs since I was born. Puppies, seniors, small, & giant. From Yorkie & Maltese to Rottweiler & Great Dane. I've been rescuing and caring for my own rescue dogs for the past 15 years and also have experience fostering for local animal rescues. Currently, I share my home with my sweet 12 year old senior and an energetic 5 month old puppy so I understand the different needs that come with every stage of a dog's life. I'm comfortable administering medication, reinforcing training, and following your dog's unique routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I love spending time with animals and would love to give your pup plenty of love, attention, and exercise! I work remotely and build my own schedule so I have plenty of flexible time to spend with your pup! I'm available weekdays and weekends. I have a secure, fenced in yard that can allow your pup the freedom to roam and have fun. I'm comfortable with crate training and I'm always adamant about making sure all animals are secure in their space or on leash before opening any outside doors.
About: I've always grown up surrounded by dogs, whether that was in my own household or around family. On my way to become a veterinarian, I continuously care for my own dogs, my neighbors dogs and spend my time volunteering at an animal shelter nearby, Father Johns, and ensure the health and safety of all ages of dogs. I am super excited to continue dog walking and care for your pets needs! I am currently a full time student at UD so classes may interfere but I am open to discussing times to care for your pet! Throughout my life, I've had years of experience with large dogs, senior dogs, puppies, etc. I have also had experience with many different behaviors of dogs and understand it can be hard to meet a fresh face. I will carefully comfort your pet, and introduce myself in a calm manner to ensure the safety of your pet and myself, so your pet can have a fun, relaxing time!
“First, I've never used this type of service before. Alissa was accommodating, attentive, prompt and very caring for my dog, Lilly. If Alissa is the standard of the type of people that will care for my dog, I would use this service again, without a doubt. And, I wouldn't hesitate in booking Alissa, and recommending her to everyone.”

There are no other pets in the apartment. I don’t take more than one dog at a time because I like think each dog/owner should have my 100% attention.
About: I have about 9 years taking care of dogs, including my families dogs and my own. I have experience walking, feeding, bathing, nail filing, basic training, and reinforcing potty training. I am also very experienced in keeping your fur babies entertained. My love has no boundaries when it comes to your pets! I am available mostly evenings and anytime in the day on weekends unless I have the occasional family outing. Feel free to message me to discuss a time that is most convenient for you! I am absolutely flexible to your needs and what you will need done as part of your fur babies routine or in maintaining your home. I am open to do anything you need, from vacuuming dog hairs, to cleaning food bowls (for house sitting service). For dog walking, I am open to going to parks or going along your fur babies favorite walking route!
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10! I have experience with all different breeds, I even have 5 dogs of my own! All breeds are welcome 🤗 I am currently a fully online student and I control my own schedule. My calender is open for whatever days you need! Please feel free to reach out with any questions! 😊 I will not be able to pet sit in my own home, since I have so many animals. However, I am more than happy to care for your pet in your own home, going on walks, bathing, etc.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember, both within my family and for others outside of it. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with a variety of personalities, sizes, and needs, which has made me comfortable and confident handling all kinds of dogs. In addition to dogs, I’ve regularly cared for cats, including those with medical conditions that required administering medication. I understand how important it is to be patient, attentive, and gentle,especially when pets need extra care and consistency. I also have a dog of my own, so I know firsthand the level of love, responsibility, and attention pets deserve every day. I treat every animal I care for like they’re part of my own family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from 9 AM to 2 PM four days a week, which leaves me available for morning and afternoon/evening visits, walks, and check-ins. I’m very active and walk about 5 miles every day, so I’m always happy to include dogs in my routine to make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. Whether it’s a quick walk, a longer outing, or just spending time keeping your pet company, I can easily incorporate pet care into my schedule and stay consistent and reliable. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved whether they’re in my home or their own. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any specific care needs. In a client’s home, I try to keep pets on their normal routine to reduce stress. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise, along with regular walks and bathroom breaks. I also keep the home tidy and provide updates so owners feel at ease while they’re away. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment where they can relax and feel at home. I make sure they get lots of attention, daily walks, and supervision throughout their stay. I’m also comfortable caring for pets with special needs, including administering medication when required. My goal is always to make sure each pet is happy, healthy, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind.
“Kimberly did a great job caring for our dog while we were at work. It was our first time having someone come to the house and walk our dog. She made us feel very comfortable that our dog was going to be well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her.”
About: I’ve grown up with pets, both dogs and cats, my entire life. I house sit for family members with pets and take it upon myself to love and care for them like they are my own. I love to take them on adventures in the car, to walking trails or lakes to engage with them! I currently work a full time job Monday through Friday in office with one day to work from home. I can provide evening and night care, as well as weekends! I can be flexible as well to stop in at nights or early mornings for your pet needs. I am willing and able to house sit and adjust myself for your pet’s schedule and comfort. I have one dog and one cat in my home who are cared for around the clock. I love taking my dog for visits to different state parks or hiking trails!
About: Hello! I live in Sussex County, NJ, and have been walking dogs since January 2025 via the Wag app. I am available for drop ins, walks, and pet sitting during the day. Since I have 2 sassy beagle-mixes of my own, I can do overnight stays with some household coordination on my end. I’m currently working part time, so have a flexible schedule! I do my best to only accept bookings where I know I’ll make it not only on time, but a few minutes early. It’s important for me to know what access or limits your pet has in your home, so I like to over communicate with pet parents so I fully understand what makes your pet happy and safe.

“Carla was wonderful with Finn! He has stayed with her twice now, and both experiences have been great. She made me feel completely comfortable, but most importantly Finn who is a bit clingy and needs lots of attention. Would definitely recommend Carla for anyone needing pet care :)”

“Gabriela did an amazing job taking care of our Diesel for 4 days while we were on vacation. She was caring, responsible, and made sure Diesel was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. She kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Diesel and treated him like her own. We came back to a happy and well-cared-for dog! I highly recommend Gabriela to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and dependable dog sitter. We would definitely have her take care of Diesel again! ❤️🐾”


“Thanks Christopher, you did a great job having Kaya, she is healthy and happy after staying with you! Will recommend you to my friends and next time when I have to go on vacation, I'll ask you to have Kaya with you once more, if you don't mind!”

“Chris did an awesome treating my dog as his own!! He never books more than 1 dog while sitting and my dog got a long great with his. He sent updates to keep my family at ease. I will definitely be using him in the future. THANKS AGAIN!!!”

“Kevin and his wife were great; able to take my 2 dogs at short notice . kept me advised how they were doing and flexible to work with my odd schedule. would recommend them to others.”


“So thankful to have found someone for our Keira. Morgan responded quickly for a short notice weekend trip and was quick to respond to my inquiries while we were gone as to how Keira was doing. We usually use a local kennel but have found that she comes home sad. She needs a lot of human interaction. Without her pack, she gets lonely. She came home much happier this time. Morgan and her family obviously made Keira feel very at home.”

“Fiona is awesome and very accommodating. As an overprotective pet parent,she felt very trustworthy early on. Fiona kept us informed and sent lots of pics. Titan really likes her also and he ran right in when we dropped him off. I would 100% recommend Fiona to anyone looking for a sitter that gives the family experience to your furbaby!”


“This was our first time away from our pets so we were concerned about how they would handle being in a new environment considering not being completely trained and being exposed to other dogs for the first time. Well, having our initial meeting with Debra at her amazing Doggy ranch and seeing our pups running all over her two acre fenced in property was all it took! We found our place! Not to mention Debra's amazing helpers who love your pets as much as you do (if not more) if that was possible! Her helpers are non other than her husband and Father who are equally amazing! They actually are sad to see your pets go as they become attached to them. If your looking for a place look no further. Mike H”

“I have been so impressed with Natalie - she is truly an animal lover and took care of my chai like her own. Shes took him for walks, gave him treats, played with him, sent me pictures and updates along the way - I felt so comforted leaving him with her. She’s truly amazing!”

“Very positive experience with a 5 night boarding stay with Carolina's family. She's very pleasant to deal with, and she seems to be a very experienced dog owner. My dog seems to have really enjoyed his stay, playing with her Sheepadoodle. They have a very nice enclosed backyard where the dogs can plan outside. It made it very easy to go away on vacation for the week knowing our dog was in good hands. Will definitely rebook in the future and would highly recommend.”

About: Our property is a lush 5 acres. We have a fenced-in dog run, but we have lots of land for walks. We have two beautiful labradors: Abilene and Odessa (8 years old). They like having friends over to socialize and play. You can rest assured that we will treat your dog like one of our family. We love dogs, so care is easy! Our home is well suited for dog naps, daily walks, and midnight howls. My wife and I, as well as our two Labradors will give your dog a family to stay with while you are gone. Our home and property are large enough to support the individual needs of each dog. Two levels in our home and a large property allow us to facilitate special requests and routines.
“Michele is very responsive and also excellent with keeping us updated on how our 2 furry ones were doing. So glad we found her and our furry ones grew fond of her. We definitely recommend her to others and we will always contact her for our future stays.”

“Pia’s stay with Charles was great. He is an awesome person who truly loves the pets he cares for. He shared pictures time to time keeping us informed of Pia’s well being. I am grateful to have met Charles and highly recommend him. We are definitely returning next time Pia needs a break from us 😊”

“This was my first time using DogVacay.com. Kristin was just phenomenal. I went to Texas for 2 weeks and left my puppy Brody with her. She sent me pictures and even videos along with status updates every single day. Could not be happier, highly recommend her!”

“Alexis was great with our Archie! She was attentive to his needs, gave him lots of love and nice long walks, which he loves! She also sent us pictures throughout the day.We’ll ,without a doubt, book with her again in the future!”

“I can’t thank Lynn enough for the outstanding care they provided to my dog, Scout, during the month-long stay! Lynn went above an beyond on Scout's stay when Scout developed an ear infection during their stay. Lynn immediately noticed the signs and took the time to schedule a vet appointment, ensuring that my dog received the necessary treatment. I was so relieved to know my dog was in such capable and caring hands during this time.”

“Katie provided wonderful care for our dog at her residence while we were away. She took the time to get to know myself and my dog prior to her stay. It was our lab's first time boarding and Katie sent updates regularly throughout the day which helped ease the transition. Katie's professionalism, passion and love for the animals was evident throughout the entire experience. Highly recommend!”
