“Literally a staycation for our pup. Vanessa went above and beyond with everything !! We received pics and updates daily which put us at ease on vacation. A real home away from home for any dog lucky enough to get time with their family!”
“Delmy was great! My dog loved spending time at her house and he got lots of belly rubs! She sent multiple pictures throughout the day and he seemed comfortable and happy. Would definitely recommend.”
“He did an excellent job watching my dogs for a couple of days! He was very responsive, easy to communicate with, and kept me updated, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were well cared for, and I could tell they were in good hands. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter, and I’d be happy to book with him again!”
“My dog Belle has stayed with Denise for a couple of overnights in the past few months, but this time she stayed with Denise for a week over Thanksgiving. I was traveling out of state but never had to worry that Belle was in good hands. I even got some photo updates. Belle had fun snuggling with the kids and other dogs. I will definitely text Denise next time I need dog care.”
“Yaina was AMAZING! She took care of our dog like it was own. We got plenty of pictures while we were away which made us smile. We will definitely use her again. Rosie our dog had the best time!”
“We have had Neo at their place multiple times and I can vouch for them. They make sure to share tons of videos and photos and are always available to check in . Would definitely recommend them.”
“Sarah and her family were amazing with my Morkie. Coco can be a little particular with eating and bed times and Sarah was so accommodating! I will definitely use her again to watch Coco”
“My dog had a wonderful time with Joanne + family! He immediately made himself at home when I dropped him off and looked like he had the best time in all the photos and videos I received. I’m always nervous leaving him with anyone who isn’t family, but I had the peace of mind that he was well taken care of and having fun while I was out of town.”

“Great family! The responses were swift. I got picture and video updates. They treated Benji as if he were their own. When I picked Benji up, the whole family came out to meet me. That provided another level of comfort knowing who my pup was around and will be around when booked in the future. Highly recommend.”
“We needed someone who will take care of my mother-in-law’s Gigi urgently for a few nights. She took us last minute and was very accommodating. There’s a certain kind of conviction when she said we’ll take care of her…and she did! She knows what she’s doing. I like that she updates us daily, responds really fast and event sent photos even without being asked. She’s not just a pro but with excellent customer service. Will definitely recommend her.”

“We have a 80 lbs, 12+ year old lab, with arthritis in hind legs which makes it difficult for him to sit and get up. This time when our regular pet sitter was not available, we left Simba with Isabella with an almost skeptical mind as she did not have many reviews and seemed new. But at the end of the stay, we’re delighted to say that she took the best care of him, and made sure he got his walks and medicine on time.. she sent us very frequent updates including pictures and videos. She did everything to make sure that we were not worried about simba even for a minute while he was with her and were able to enjoy our time peacefully! Highly recommended!!”

About: I have a deep passion for animals and years of hands-on experience caring for pets of various breeds and sizes. Growing up around pets has given me a strong understanding of canine behavior, body language, and specific care needs. Whether it is managing high-energy pups, maintaining strict feeding routines, or just providing endless belly rubs, I treat every furry guest like a member of my own family. I am highly attentive and dedicated to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you are away. I work from home full-time, which gives me incredible flexibility and allows me to provide around-the-clock supervision and companionship for your pet. Your dog will never feel lonely, as I am around throughout the day to offer frequent potty breaks, backyard playtime, and regular walks. My flexible remote work schedule ensures that I can easily adapt to your pet's established routine, meaning their feeding, medicine, and nap times will remain perfectly on track. Safety is my absolute top priority. My home provides a secure, pet-friendly environment where your dog can relax comfortably. I am extremely proactive about monitoring behavior and ensuring all areas are completely pet-proofed. When welcoming guest pets, I am very careful about proper introductions to ensure everyone coexists happily and safely. I strictly follow all owner instructions regarding specific house rules, crate training preferences, and safety boundaries, ensuring you have total peace of mind and receive plenty of photo updates.
“Dan and Denise went above and beyond for our pup Harper. My husband and I are new to Long Island and I was so apprehensive to leave her but after my meet and greet with Dan and Denise I knew it was a good fit. They are communicative, trustworthy, and extremely empathetic towards your dogs needs. We had a great experience and will be using them for future services.”
About: I love spending time with dogs, I prioritize going above and beyond to ensure your fur baby feels comfortable and loved while you’re away. I provide frequent updates with photos and videos throughout the day to keep you informed about your pet’s activities and well-being. I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding and/or for just a fun day care at anytime. I maintain a flexible schedule to maintain your pet’s needs. With a fenced in yard, I can provide regular exercise to help your pet stay fit, strong and keep those tails wagging. In my home your pet will have a safe and cozy place to stay.

“Our second time using Eliana and she was amazing. Great communication, loved my dog as her own, and sent many pictures. Played with my dog, snuggled him, and walked him. Highly highly recommend!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Veronique and Jonathan! They were amazing with my puppy, Oakley, providing her with exceptional doggy day care. They kept her active, engaged, and ensured she was well taken care of throughout the day. It was such a relief to know Oakley was in loving, capable hands. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch care!”

Would definitely recommend, and we will definitely be returning. We would trust her with our pup any day!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs. I currently own four dogs: two adult Belgian Malinois, a German Shepherd puppy, and a senior Shih Tzu mix. I have crate trained and potty trained multiple puppies and am familiar with the time, patience, and consistency required for successful training. Through caring for both high-energy working breeds and senior dogs, I have experience managing different exercise needs, routines, temperaments, and levels of care. I am committed to providing a safe, structured, and positive environment for every dog in my care. I am home most of the time and provide full-time care for the dogs in my home. Because I am available throughout the day, dogs receive regular supervision. I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely go outside for potty breaks and exercise. I am comfortable reinforcing crate training when needed and believe crates are a valuable tool for safety and routine. My own dogs are crate trained and are crated when they cannot be directly supervised to ensure their safety and prevent unwanted behaviors. I provide a structured, safe, and supervised environment while making sure each dog receives plenty of attention, care, and opportunities to play and relax.
“We have left Lexi with Alicia and her family several times now for both doggy day care and two week long boarding and we could not be happier! Our dog is not a fan of other dogs at all and Alicia is always very accommodating to make sure she will be the only dog in the house. They have a huge yard for her to run around in, there is always someone home to keep her company, and they always send us multiple pictures everyday so we can see how she is doing throughout the day. We very highly recommend Alicia and we'll definitely be using her again.”
“Wenxu was very accommodating and accepted a last minute booking to care for Samson on Saturday. She took great care of him. He was happy and calm when I picked him up.”
“Pamela is amazing! She is just exactly the person who I would trust my babies with. She kept me updated all day how my babies are doing, and was very respectful with my the things I requested. She is not just this amazing animal lover, but genuinely a great person, like a person I would like to hangout out with! Honestly, she felt like a close family friend, and not a stranger! She stole and our babies’ hearts, and we will be coming to her for next time for ?!”
“Jillian took a last minute request for us and was extremely nice. She was kind, provided updates when requested, and also was extremely flexible with our time. But a note, the bio does say non-smoking household and our dog did come home smelling like cigarette smoke, but other than that the experience was great.”
About: Neighbors and family have relied on me to care for their pets, including elderly and special needs animals, as well as exotic reptiles and birds, many times. I’m a part-time student in eco-toxicology at this time studying online so I’m around full time for pet care, feel free to reach out for care any day of the week! I am fully vaccinated! My home is full of people and pets so I don’t typically do boarding unless I know you and your pet well. I am happy to water plants if needed as well! Please keep in mind that my partner joins me for house sitting bookings. We have two cats together and he is also certified by Rover :)
About: Welcome to THE SPOILED DOG INN 🐶 Your dog is never left alone. True 24/7 care in an exclusive home for small dogs only. - After a short break from Rover, we’re excited to be back doing what we truly love — caring for small dogs in a happy, loving home. - We are professional small-dog groomers, experienced pet care providers, Pet First Aid / CPR certified, and small dog owners ourselves. We also have prior veterinary assistant experience and formerly owned the grooming studio inside Petite Pets Puppy Boutique in Huntington, NY - Our home is a dog-loving home whose only “children” have four small paws, and our days are built around the dogs in our care. - As small dog owners ourselves, we understand how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. Our goal is to give you true peace of mind, knowing your dog is safe, supervised, and cared for by people you can trust. - Because we specialize in small dogs every day, we understand their routines, personalities, sensitivities, body language, and the little details that help them feel secure and at home. - We offer exclusive boutique boarding and doggie daycare with a carefully limited guest list, so every dog receives attentive, personalized, hands-on care. - We are comfortable caring for a variety of small-dog needs, including: • nervous or shy dogs • playful or social dogs • senior dogs • special-needs dogs • dogs who need oral medication • dogs who require injections, including insulin or subcutaneous fluids We offer overnight stays, extended vacation stays, and boutique care for small dogs only, 7 days a week. - This is our full-time work and our everyday lifestyle, allowing us to provide true 24/7 care. Your dog is never left alone or unattended. - We keep our availability limited so each guest receives one-on-one attention in a loving home environment. We hope you’ll take a moment to look through our photo gallery so you can see our home, experience, and the environment your dog will be staying in. Safety, cleanliness, and trust are very important to us. - We maintain a clean, sanitary, non-smoking home with a safe, secure fenced yard. Guest dogs are carefully supervised, and our guest list is kept small — typically 1–3 dogs at a time — so each dog receives attentive care in a safe, loving setting. - Our home is cage-free, and dogs are not crated or kenneled as part of our normal care. At night, dogs sleep in our bedroom with us — never crated away, left alone overnight, or placed in a separate room unattended. If your dog is crate-trained and feels most comfortable resting in their own crate, we can discuss that during the meet-and-greet and follow your preferences. - At bedtime, dogs may sleep on our large family-sized bed or settle into one of the comfortable dog beds arranged around us. We provide different bed sizes and styles, along with doggie stairs for dogs who need help getting on and off the bed. - Because our guests sleep in our bedroom and many are welcome on the bed, we kindly ask that dogs arrive freshly bathed or clean before their stay. This helps us maintain the comfortable, clean, home-style environment that makes every guest feel safe and cared for. - You’ll receive regular photo and video updates daily so you can stay connected and feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I have had pets throughout my entire life. From dogs to cats to hamsters to turtles. I love to go on walks with my dog who is an 8-month-old Husky puppy. I also love to play with him, bring him to the park, and even go swimming with him. I also have a 1-year-old cat that I love to play with. I also do the feeding for both my dog and my cat so feeding your pet would not be an issue for me. I would love to help you with whatever you need whether it be dog sitting, dog walking, cat sitting, or even just a drop in to play with your pet. I have a pretty open schedule so feel free to reach out!

Neighbors and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and spend time with their furry friends. You can trust me to treat your pets like family! I’m currently working part-time, but schedule is flexible as of right now. Currently, Monday through Sunday after 2pm I am available for walking, drop-ins, and overnights When caring for pets in clients' homes, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I follow specific instructions for feeding, playtime, and any special needs. I ensure their environment stays clean, provide plenty of attention, and maintain a calm and familiar atmosphere to keep them relaxed. I can also communicate regularly with updates to give you peace of mind while you're away.
“Ava helped me walk my pup while I was sick. She was very kind and attentive. She took photos of their walk and let me know important details! I will definitely be contacting Ava again for help with dog walking some time:)”
About: I am a graduate of a veterinary technician school preparing to take my licensing exam and have experience within the pet retail industry. I have been around pets all my life. I am a veterinary assistant who is available to provide dog walking and drop-in visits while not working. I am working on obtaining my veterinary technician license. I have a dog myself and will use my knowledge from school and the pet industry to give loving drop-in visits and walks to your pet.
About: I've had many dogs and cats in my life ever since I was young . I have also always been the primary care giver to all my pets. Currently, I'm a cat dad to 4 cats to which I perform daily grooming, nail trimming, feeding and litter boxes. I am very familiar and comfortable with caring for dogs as well. I've mainly had dogs my entire life and will be happy to walk and play with your pups. I have a very calm demeanor and as a result all animals love me and we will quickly become best friends! Animal care is now my main focus so my availability is pretty open. I am willing and excited to care for all my new furry friends! I will treat your pets as if they were my own babies and treat your home with respect. Our pets are part of the family and deserve proper love and care!
“Today was my first time using rover. Violet was my first walker. She showed up on time and respected our home. She was patient getting to know my dog and showed him kindness. I appreciate her taking care of my doggie while i was at work. Will def do it again.”
“Karishma was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond for caring for my fur baby! She sent me multiple pictures and always checked in on how he was during her visit! I would highly recommend Karishma and will definitely be using her again.”
About: What I think truly sets me apart is my tailored approach to each dog's needs, ranging from feeding medicine, to early walks or even just lovey extra attention, I’m always here for it. I like combining enthusiastic play with disciplined training techniques. Whether your furry friend is a playful pup needing playbite training and endless games of fetch, or a cherished senior who thrives on gentle care, medication reminders, and comforting companionship, I really try to provide a safe, loving, and happy environment. My experience includes puppy socialization and specialized senior dog care, ensuring every dog in my charge receives the individual attention and expert care they deserve, making their time with me feel just like your home. At the moment now, I am unemployed so that gives me more then enough time (even every day) to help take care of your pup when you need it! With every pet is different, I like to converse with the owner about the character of the dog and habits as well as any other important health information that I should keep in mind before sitting, and if it is in your home, I’m very well mannered and have respect for not just the home but pups safety too
About: Growing up, my family always had a house full of dogs and cats of every size, breed, and personality — and we often fostered strays, too! From an early age, I learned hands-on skills like training techniques, behavioral understanding, and basic at-home vet care. Over time, I developed a calm, intuitive approach that helps me connect with almost any animal I meet (and I’m always happy to prove it!). In middle and high school, I spent weekends volunteering at my local animal shelter, CNY SNAP in Cortland, NY. As an adult, I continued rescuing and rehoming cats and dogs until a few years ago when I welcomed my daughter. Now that she’s a bit older, I’m thrilled to be back doing what I love — caring for animals of all kinds. I understand that not every pet instantly warms up to new people, and that’s totally okay. I never force affection — instead, I read their cues, respect their boundaries, and build trust at their own pace. Whether your pet is shy, playful, senior, or special-needs, I’ll meet them where they are and give them the care and patience they deserve. Reliability and safety are my top priorities. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would my own — leaving things clean, tidy, and often better than I found them. I value your privacy and always maintain discretion about your space and schedule. I’m detail-oriented and take note of the little things that make a big difference — from following feeding routines precisely to keeping track of any changes in your pet’s behavior. I’m also big on communication: you’ll receive thoughtful, photo-filled updates so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe, and cared for. Clients have described me as calm, reliable, and attentive — someone they can truly trust. My goal is always to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I work from home on my own time so I have open availability! Weekends welcomed, and most holidays as well! I do my best to keep my schedule updated. While I can’t host pets in my own home (lease restrictions), I’m proud to provide an exceptional experience for both you and your pet in your home. I treat every home and animal with the highest level of care and respect, ensuring a calm, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow your pet’s care plan to the letter — feeding, medication, walks, bedtime routines, and all the little details that make them feel secure. I also go above and beyond to leave your space in great condition (because let’s be honest, a little pet mess is part of the fun!). If any questions or concerns arise, I’ll always reach out before taking any steps we haven’t discussed. I believe in clear, consistent communication and earning trust through reliability, attention to detail, and genuine love for what I do. And of course — all the cuddles and playtime are included, free of charge! ⭐ Please Note: I may occasionally have my five-year-old daughter with me for overnight stays. This will always be discussed ahead of time during our meet and greet to make sure you’re completely comfortable.
About: My name is Alex and I would love to care for your furbabies as if they were my own! I host one family at a time (up to three pets from the same family). This ensures a premium experience for your pet that is calm, friendly and enjoyable. I do not have children or any pets of my own-this way I am be able to maintain a stress free environment for your pet to avoid any anxiety or nervousness around children or new animals. It is my job to put you and your pets at ease while you are away or busy. I want to ensure a stress free experience for all. 🐾 I will always be around to supervise the animals while I petsit! I offer a happy and calming experience for your pet in which they will enjoy lots of attention and cuddles/playtime from me or naps and comfort time and relaxing music should they desire. I’ve taken care of a number pets throughout my life. I grew up with small terriers and had fish too. Friends animals were always like my own. I adopted my beloved cat Calvin when I was 21 and in December 2022, 11 years later, he passed away leaving a hole in my heart. He had many health problems such as asthma and IBS, for which he was on several daily medications. This taught me to administer oral medication in pill pockets and use an inhaler attachment for him. I miss being around animals in general now that he’s been gone. I am looking so much forward to being able to provide boarding in my lakeside home. At this time, I’m not able to offer housesitting, very happily offer drop ins house sits and walks! Kindly note: * if your dog has a history of aggression towards people or has indoor accidents frequently I will not be able to host them. *Experience with breeds such as greyhounds, who may need a more quiet atmosphere I am available consistently at the moment as I run a part time home business. 24 hour consistent time with your pet is ensured. If they wish they can also sleep in the bedroom/bed. The fenced yard is big enough to run around supervised and also has tiered retaining walls. I also have a separate area for a cat(s) and a walk in closet style litter box “room”. I have plenty of toys, treats and catnip. At this time, I’m not able to offer boarding, very happily offer drop ins house sits and walks!
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover, doctoral candidate, and business owner who works from home—so your pup will have my full attention in a peaceful, fun, and love-filled environment. I’ve cared for dogs and cats for years and have been the trusted sitter for friends and family throughout my life. I enjoy puppy care, high energy dogs, and dogs who benefit from gentle patience and enrichment. Whether your pup needs an active playmate, a calm companion, or a structured routine while you’re away, I’m here to help. I currently share my home with Laney, my yellow lab and best friend. Together, we’ve completed multiple levels of canine education, from basic obedience to therapy and service animal training. I’ve spent years working with her through structured behavior work and commands, which makes me especially comfortable providing care for dogs needing a little extra attention. Laney is well socialized and she's a registered service animal. She has a lot of pup friends and we're actively involved in the neighborhood dog group - hosting playdates and visits and enjoying group walks and meet-ups at the nearby parks. Here’s what your dog will enjoy during their stay: A large fenced yard (~4,000 sq ft) with a well-kept lawn A deck for sunbathing and relaxing (cooling bed optional) A dog pool for supervised splash sessions and cooldowns Access to quiet walking trails in a friendly, pet-loving neighborhood Consistent care from a work-from-home pup-sitter (they won't be left alone for long) I believe every dog deserves loving care, mental stimulation, and lots of joy while their humans are away. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands dogs and offers safe, enriching, high-quality care, I’d love to meet you and your pup! I work from home, running a business and completing my dissertation research. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate different needs. Laney has never demanded a set routine, but I'm generally up early for workouts and coffee breaks on the back deck. However, if your pup likes to sleep in, that's not a problem (Laney has been known to stay in bed late from time to time). I'm happy to discuss options for you and your pet(s). Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. I work from home, so your pup will be supervised, loved, and never alone for long. My home offers a fully fenced ~4,000 sq ft yard, dog pool, and quiet walking paths and parks nearby. Indoors, it’s calm, clean, and cozy—perfect for both high-energy dogs and mellow cuddlers. I follow your routine exactly and I'm happy to provide photo/video updates, so you always know your pet is safe and happy. As a dog lover, I consider pets family members, and I know how important it is to be able to trust in the person caring for your loved one(s).

I put in the time to make sure it stays that way during your dog's stay! - I also make your life easier by having a stock of non-toxic dog shampoo and an all natural food supplement (great for bone and joint health) that you can purchase when you return at great prices! - My wife, Denise coordinates the schedule and provides both the welcome package and the Thank You notes at the back end of your dog's stay. You have 24 hour access to our home and each of our mobile phones. - Denise and I have been in Customer Service Businesses for 35 years and we have very high standards of excellence. - Our yard is huge and private, part of a pine forest, but I enjoy taking dogs for walks around our quiet neighborhood as well, to provide the most stimulating stay for your beloved dog. - I have my yard treated to minimize the chance of ticks, fleas and mosquitos with a safe solution , applied by a trained professional with decades of experience. -When it snows, I never need to use salt to melt it, because I am here all the time to snow blow and shovel as often as necessary. Your dog will not be exposed to salt on his or her paws. -I also save my clients lots of money on 4 and 5 Star Vacation Villas. Brands like Marriott, Hyatt and Four Seasons to name just a few. I am a Timeshare Insider and I will always steer you away from 90 minute tours or ever buying one, with the deals that I have personally been getting for about 25 years now! I have been to dozens of tropical islands, dozens of countries and about 40 of the States and I offer lots of free money saving advice. -From time to time, we have less demand. When I see that, I will reach out to existing clients and offer them special discounts on these occasions! I know my regular pricing is competitive but I am willing to propose a win/win package that will get your dog(s) back on vacation at a price I can live with on a limited / preferred client basis! These savings are commonly 25% or more off for the same great service ! -I am available to help others start a Rover business of their own. I have run several businesses, have 39 years experience, not only selling, but am certified to teach sales from prestigious Training Companies such as Miller Heiman, Cahners TRACOM, and Achieve Global. I have been selling out regularly and know exactly how to help someone else kiss corporate America goodbye in a field that they were born to thrive in from home! Now you have a good sense of why you may want to choose Dan's ! I have rescued and owned a variety of dog breeds that range from English Bulldogs, Beagles, Terriers and mixed breeds. I have house broken several puppies and have also lovingly cared for older dogs needing daily medication. (an additional nightly charge may apply based on the level of care your dog needs) My home is comfortable year round, as we have central air conditioning. We continually owned 2 dogs up until 2016, when our beloved dog Brodie passed away after a wonderful 14 year life. My wife, Denise and I have been married for 41 years and do not have any plans to rescue another dog for the foreseeable future, but we greatly look forward to caring for other people's cherished pets in our loving home. We offer stability. We are in this home for over 40 years and have no plans to ever move, so we can watch your dog(s) for many years, right here at our version of dog paradise. We have no children, but have our 13 year old nephew and 14, 11 and 8 year old nieces, who love dogs, sleep over 1 to 2 nights per month. We both get a big kick out of the unique personality of each dog and look forward to accommodating every one of them as they were part of our family. We like having your dog near us and showing our affection to them with lots of supervised playtime and hugs"

“Amazing family home, Diana and Mike are perfect sitters and the peace of mind they provided with the constant pics and updates truly made my trip that much better. Highly recommend!”
“Literally a staycation for our pup. Vanessa went above and beyond with everything !! We received pics and updates daily which put us at ease on vacation. A real home away from home for any dog lucky enough to get time with their family!”
“Yaina was AMAZING! She took care of our dog like it was own. We got plenty of pictures while we were away which made us smile. We will definitely use her again. Rosie our dog had the best time!”
“Great family! The responses were swift. I got picture and video updates. They treated Benji as if he were their own. When I picked Benji up, the whole family came out to meet me. That provided another level of comfort knowing who my pup was around and will be around when booked in the future. Highly recommend.”
“We needed someone who will take care of my mother-in-law’s Gigi urgently for a few nights. She took us last minute and was very accommodating. There’s a certain kind of conviction when she said we’ll take care of her…and she did! She knows what she’s doing. I like that she updates us daily, responds really fast and event sent photos even without being asked. She’s not just a pro but with excellent customer service. Will definitely recommend her.”
“Theresa is great. Was happy to leave my dog with her. Daily updates and overall attitude made our vacation much more enjoyable as we were confident that our guard poodle was in good hands.”
“Trisha was great, she kept us in the loop with pictures and texts the whole evening. It was the first time we left our dog Jax who’s 1-1/2 old boxer with tons of energy. Thank you Trisha and we will definitely leave Jax with again and again.”
“Samantha has taken such great care of our fur babies. She is caring and loves them like they were her own pets. I can always count on her to give them the attention they need. They are both senior dogs and need special attention and care. I would not hesitate to use her when we need her services. I would highly recommend her any time.”
“We have used John for Doggy Daycare and Dog Boarding and we could not be happier with his care for our Penny. When we adopted her she was so shy and we've been working to bring her out of her shell so we were worried when we first left her but John was so good at making us feel comfortable and allowing Penny the space to get comfortable with him. We got updated pictures, he got her to eat right on the spot (which has been a struggle) and he even had Penny out in the yard and starting to play with his dog, LaVerne. Whenever we pull up in front of John's house now, Penny's tail starts to wag and she gets so excited to see him! It's so comforting to know you are leaving your dog with someone who really cares and takes care of your animals. We are so lucky that we met John and we know Penny will have many more adventures with him! We can't recommend him enough. For this worry wort Mama over here - he did everything to help ease my anxiety over leaving her anywhere. If you want to leave your dog with someone you can trust, please consider booking with John! You will not be disappointed!”

“Kristin took wonderful care of our puppy, Scruffy for two days while my family and I were away. Kristin sent us photos and videos of Scruffy and was always available to respond quickly to our messages. Our puppy was in great hands while we were away. I will definitely look to board Scruffy with Kristin again on our next trip!”
“Michelle is fantastic! She checked in with me multiple times each day and sent pictures and videos whenever possible. She was responsive when I sent messages and questions. My pups were well taken care of.”
