“Dana and Jeremy were wonderful! It was our first time leaving our dog and Dana and Jeremy made the process easy and treated our pup as their own. They were eager to learn his routine, kept it consistent, and sent regular updates. Their attentiveness provided the peace of mind needed to really enjoy our vacation. We are excited for the next time our dog gets to visit them!”
“Our young and rambunctious poodle, Twinkie, had an amazing week at Erika’s!! We’ve used rover before but this is the first time we felt the experience went above and beyond, and we felt confident the whole time not only that Twinkie was safe but that she was possibly having the best week of her life lol! Erika was extremely professional and responsive and sent us many pictures throughout the stay. Twinkie had an amazing time playing nonstop with Erika’s dog Huxley, and it’s very clear Erika took excellent care of Twinkie throughout. This will absolutely be our go to rover , and I strongly recommend Erika to anyone reading this!”
“I am so excited that I found someone who will luv and take care of my fur babies like I would. This was the first time I left my babies with a sitter. Katie assured me they would be ok and for me to go enjoy myself on my little getaway! I am happy that I did! I luv how Katie made communication during their stay. I could see that my fur babies were well taken care of and was enjoying their stay. The walks, playtime, and other activities. Thank you Katie! You Rock!!!!!”
“Jin, was very friendly and very communicative. She treated my baby girl like her own. She took my booking at the last minute, I thank her for that. Highly recommended!”
“Joan and Timothy were so amazing with our son! We were gone almost a full week for our wedding and it was such a blessing that we found them. It was clear from the moment we first met them that they were very experienced in dog sitting and their home was perfectly equipped and spacious for our boy. They made sure to walk through his entire daily routine with us when dropping him off and they provided us with daily updates, pictures and videos on how he was doing. He came back to us a smiling and happy pup. Would absolutely book with them again - thank you so much Joan & Timothy!!!”
“Jackie has watched our cockapoo twice now for week long stays. We are very happy with her services and will likely use her again as needed. Our dog came home happy and healthy. Thank you Jackie.”
“Denae and Mark were absolute angels! They are such nice people! I felt that my crazy, young pittie was in great hands! Zero felt right at home during the first meet and greet and that made leaving her there for a long weekend less anxiety-inducing for both me and her as she is a bit of an anxious dog. They made her feel so comfortable! I will definitely be booking with them again and would recommend them for anyone! Lots of pictures and great communication! Thank you Mark and Denae!”
“Jackie made it possible to leave on a 2 week vacation. All 3 of our dogs were well taken care of. Jackie did everything we asked. We will definitely ask Jackie to take care of our family again. Thank you”
“Kiara & Yves are genuinely such fantastic pet sitters, and kept my mind at ease during travel knowing that my cat was in such good hands! Not only were they very kind and pleasant to talk to, but Kiara was very knowledgeable about animals in general and shared some useful information. They were very diligent in making sure my kitty was being cared for properly, along with sending updates and pictures. From medication, to going out of their way to buy specific kibble that my cat was used to after not adjusting, you can be assured that your pet will be watched by responsible, enthusiastic, and caring folks.”
“Jenn & Brian did an amazing job with our puppy! She loved playing with their 3 dogs in their backyard and going on walks with them. They took great care of our puppy!”
“Jennifer is amazing! My rescue German shepherd mix is always very anxious away from home, and cannot do a crate. Jennifer made every accommodation for her and they had a calm overnight! I will be boarding with Jennifer exclusively from now on! ❤️❤️❤️”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received. Toktam was incredibly kind and attentive, making sure my dog felt comfortable and happy the entire time. I received regular updates, which showed how well my dog was doing and how much care she put into every detail. I highly recommend Toktam to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter.”
“Monica watched my dog Koda for the day. I got sent pictures and updates, and it was very obvious that Koda had a great time! 10 out of 10 would recommend her for pet sitting!”
“Tona and Wanda (the Girls) spent a week with Alena. We enjoyed seeing the pictures and notes Alena sent. The Girls were in great shape when we took them home. And Alena went out of her way to help with getting the Girl's crate ready to travel. We highly recommend Alena when you need to board your pups.”
“Truly a spectacular place to leave my precious boy! Consider yourself lucky if she has openings available - I got multiple picture updates and I was confident that my pup was getting lots of love, cookies, and playtime. We will absolutely be back!”
About: Hi, I'm Sam and I've had dogs in my life since childhood. I have two rescues that I adopted at ten weeks. They both have big, incredibly different personalities that have given me plenty of experience, especially after my son was born in 2019. I have always loved animals, and decided to use Rover after a friend was out of town and had a client she asked me to assist. She raved about pet sitting and I really enjoyed it. I love meeting new pets & people, & look forward to helping you have stress free time away wether that’s for an overnight vacation, or drop ins or walks to give you peace of mind when you can’t be with them. I treat all of my animal clients as if they were my own, and am highly accommodating to pet parents. If you have any questions or concerns, please ask! I am willing to work with your situation as best I can 😊 I currently have very flexible availability and can be with your pet as much or as little as you need! I have care arrangements for my pets & son, so it can just be me and your pup! I am happy to follow whatever routine you currently do to keep the disruptions to your pet minimal including crating, walks, or any requests you may have.

“This is our second time having Barb take care of our cat while we were away. It’s great to be able to go on vacation and know your cat is being well cared for. Our cat only lays on my lap. She won’t go to anyone else even family. Each day I received a picture of her cuddled up on Barb’s lap. It doesn’t get any better than that.”
“I am a happy repeat customer. Sara is very diligent with everything: cleaning food dishes, cleaning cat litter, administering meds etc. I trust her completely. Highly recommend”
“Peggy was great to take care of my cats while we were out of town! She tidied their stuff and sent me a note after each check-in. I'll definitely contact her again when we need someone to check on the cats!”
“Julia was wonderful. She took care of our two cats for a week. She stopped in once a day to feed them, scoop the litter and spend a little time with our boys. She’s kept in touch and sent pics! We came home to two happy cats! We will definitely use Julia again.”
About: Ive had three cats in my life. Currently I have two cats and they are my world. In many instances I've had a cat or dog that doesn't like anyone besides family come up and become my new best friend.
“This was Michelle’s first drop-in visit with my pups, and she did a great job! She sent pictures and updates throughout, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I’ll definitely be using Michelle again for our November vacation, as I feel completely comfortable leaving my pups in her care. I’ve also met her dogs, and you can tell they are truly loved and well cared for. That speaks volumes about the level of care and attention you can expect from Michelle. I highly recommend her!”
“Our cat, Chumley, took to Madison right away. She has a wonderful kind and loving energy. We felt very comfortable having Madison come into our home while we were away. Madison sent us the cutest picture of Chumley while visiting with him. We are very pleased with her service and highly recommend her! Thank you Madison!!!”
About: I have been able to take care of animals (dogs and cats) since age 5 as I had pets throughout my whole life. I have also briefly owned horses building the skillset of hygiene care for larger animals. I absolutely love dogs. I have had experience with small dogs all the way up to English Mastiff and Ridgeback sizes. I have been a helpful pet sitter for many family members and some friends. I absolutely love animals and plan to incorporate them into my therapeutic process with clients in the future. Please send them my way and I will give them all the love and empathy while you're away and as needed! I am a graduate student with an internship which entails the need for a daily routine. I am more flexible for weekends and holidays, and I am also willing to make other days work given enough time notice in advance. I love to be outside year-round, especially fall and winter, so I will be active with animals in snow/cold or sunshine which means walks and playing! I have three cats who have everything they need including love and grooming! I have a three-legged cat who requires more care for hygiene and grooming, so he gets lion cuts every so often. All of my cats get treats and are spoiled with love. I am flexible and willing to work around whatever is needed for safety and the environment. I would prefer to do house visits and drop-ins to feed/let outside, etc. I would need to be provided equipment like leashes, crates, food bowls, food, etc. I do not want to disrupt your pet's routine or familiarity of their own materials.
“My cats loved having Amanda stay at our house. I didnt have to worry and got to enjoy my vacation knowing Amanda was taking great care of my cats and house. The photos she sent me each day of them put a smile on my face. I got home and the cats acted like they had no idea I was gone because they were so happy. Amanda did a great job!”
“Katherine is the best cat sitter out there! She's extremely patient and amazing with my scaredy cat! She has watched my cat several times already and I request her every time I travel! :)”
“Kylie did everything she could to make her time with our babies enjoyable. She fed them, loved on them, and took care of all cat related chores. We are very grateful for her. We would highly recommend her.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Pinehurst
“Rudy had a wonderful time with Jaddua. He reassured us with many updates, photos, and was a very caring dog sitter. He loved giving Rudy all the attention and love he needed. We will definitely book again in the upcoming future. Thank you!”
“Toktam was a loving, sensitive angel when it came to the way she took care of our little Puerto Rican rescue pup Maisie. Maisie is quite wary of new people, but to my delight and surprise, the second day we dropped her off Maisie smiled a doggie smile usually reserved for only three family members (me, my daughter and my husband) and happily rushed to Toktam's front yard gate to see her! Wow! That was a first. I have had really good experiences with Rover but this one was the absolute best because even though I am a worry wart and very protective of our sensitive, formerly traumatized little street dog Maisie, once I met Toktam, I was immediately comfortable, confident and relieved that she would be in the best of hands for her four days of daycare. Thank you Toktam!”
“This was our first experience leaving our 9 mo. old shihtzu pup for daycare. Mom was nervous - puppy had the best day ever! Katie took great care of our boy and he definitely loved every minute, living his best life! Thank you Katie!”
About: I love dogs and I've been caring for dogs for over 5 years. I love walking them and play with them. I believe dogs are human's best friends. They're the best listener when you need to talk to someone :). I would like to take care of your dog while you can't. I will make sure they're being taken good care of. I have a large fenced yard and close to a dog run. I like taking them there when the weather is nice. I will tailor your dog caring style and make sure your best friend feels like he's home. Thanks for your time, and remember to enjoy the rest of your day and you know you can have a peace of mind :)
“Very nice people and effective communication for any issues or questions about my dog, Pluto Gave me updates during his stay with them! I also would like to thank them for working with me around my late arrival for pickup and thank them for taking him in, even if it was a last minute request.”
About: Hi there! I'm Caitlin, and for the past 13 years, I have gained extensive education, training, and experience with all types of animals. I have been with Rover since 2014 and have had over 190 clients through the years. As a proud professional, the experience under my belt includes: - Solo management of a small, rural cat shelter - Behavioral and adoption staff at a large urban animal shelter - Dog and cat training - Fear free certification - Management staff for boarding and daycare - Professional bathing/grooming - Exotic animal handling - Bachelor's degree in Animal Behavior Besides my professional experience, I have been a pet owner my whole life - dogs, cats, and exotics included! Right now - I have four beloved cats. ** Currently, my preferred clients are cats, small dogs, seniors, and more relaxed pets. I am not suited to care for strong, energetic dogs who need extensive exercise. ** In-home boarding and dog daycare are services I vet very extensively and am particular about due to my cats. While I do offer the services, it is always better to choose a house sit/drop in visit with me instead - these I can be much more flexible about. Some other services I provide beyond the basics include: - Wedding pet care and assistance - Pet transportation - Travel pet care and assistance - and more! I am a *CONSTANT CARE SITTER!* That means, I am in your home for the vast majority of the day, due to my day job being completely remote. While some others may need to step out for a full work day, I commit my time to YOUR pet(s) and YOUR pet(s) only - which sets me apart from other sitters. You may see that my husband, Josh, is also on my profile. He will occasionally help me with some services, but I am the primary sitter. I will always let clients know if he is going to be present for any services. While I work remotely, there are times I am unable to step out for long periods. Please note that because of this, all drop ins requested must be flexible within timeframes: 7am-11am or 11am-5pm. Safety for pets and myself is and always has been my top priority. I am proudly fear free certified and have worked on extensive safety training measures in all of my professional working environments. I know how to use all types of equipment (leashes, collars, harnesses, e-collars, etc) with ease.
About: As a loving pet owner for over 50 years, I consider every pet a true member of the family and pride myself on providing a warm, nurturing environment where your dog will feel right at home. Since I am retired, pet care is my daily routine! I have all the time in the world to dedicate to your dog, ensuring they get constant companion ship, frequent potty, breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. In my home, your dogs safety, exercise, and comfort are my top priorities. I have a completely fenced in yard where they can safely stretch their legs and I love taking dogs on daily walks around the neighborhood, tailored entirely to their pace and energy level. Because I am a retired and home full-time. I follow their usual feeding schedule exactly, provide frequent potty breaks and give them free rein of the house. They are welcome as part of the family meaning plenty of couch cuddles, belly rubs, and companionship all day long.
“Amanda took wonderful care of my little doggie, Pupper Jax, and she provided attentive service that included transportation of my dog. She provided daily updates with pics. I did not have to worry one bit while she cared for Pupper!”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and treat every pup like family, providing safe, reliable care, fun walks, and lots of love while you’re away. I have a 1.5 year old mini goldendoodle who loves new friends and is friendly with other socialized dogs 🐾 I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and can provide morning, midday, and evening walks, weather permitting, while maintaining your dogs usual routine as closely as possible. Your dog will be welcomed into my home like family, with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and a comfortable place to relax. I’ll follow their usual routine; provide regular potty breaks, walks, meals, fresh water, and lots of cuddles and companionship. I only host one family’s dog at a time, alongside my friendly mini goldendoodle, Cooper, to ensure every pup receives plenty of love, attention, playtime, and personalized care in a calm and safe environment.
“We had a wonderful experience! Our dog absolutely loved staying with them, and it was clear he was well cared for and comfortable. They were also very flexible and accommodating when we had to revise our schedule, which we really appreciated. Great communication, reliable, and genuinely caring. We would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter!”
“Priya and her family were so good to Koda. He loved spending time with them! She gave us updates throughout the day- great communication overall. I’d definitely have her watch Koda again. He was so happy with her. :)”
About: I have raised two dogs (one large bread and one small bread) both from puppy to 16 & 17yrs old. I have had three cats (one still residing with me). Currently I dog sit two fur babies since 2020. In a week I am losing one of my buddies due to his parents relocating. I am already missing him and am hoping to make some new walking and cuddling partners. I work part time on weekends but can sit with advanced notice. Monday til Wednesday I am available for anytime on shorter notice. When I have your furry sweetheart I do not leave them by themselves at all,so I like to schedule when there is nothing to conflict with the time I have them. When in my house they have no restrictions from me, only what the parent wants. I have an outside bathroom area on leash for quick bathroom trips. I like to go for at least one or two long walks per day, weather permitting and your dogs abilities. I live in a walkable neighborhood and close to parks. When at your house I will follow whatever routine your partner is used to.

About: Having cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages for over 15 years, I treat every pet like family. I understand that each dog has unique needs, whether it’s energetic play and long walks, patient puppy routine reinforcement (crate training, gentle redirection, and potty breaks), or calm, gentle comfort for seniors. I take pride in creating a structured, safe, and positive environment so your dog feels completely at home. You can expect frequent photo updates, open communication, and thorough attention to routines, feeding schedules, and favorite quirks while you’re away. Pet care integrates seamlessly into my daily routine thanks to my flexible schedule. Because I work independently from home, I have wide availability throughout the day to provide attentive supervision, frequent potty breaks, feeding, and interactive play sessions. I can easily accommodate weekday drop-ins, walks, and daycare, as well as overnight boarding and weekend stays without leaving your pet unattended for long stretches. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, pet-proofed environment where routines are respected and separate spaces can easily be arranged for feeding, rest, or crating whenever needed. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with complete respect, following your precise safety rules, leash protocols, and emergency procedures. You will receive regular photo and text updates so you always know your pup is safe, relaxed, and having a great time.
About: One of my biggest passions is saving animals lives through fostering. My fostering experience has provided me many skills necessary to care for animals with varying needs, including young kittens, diabetic cats, XXS chihuahuas, and XXL breed dogs. Due to my experience in healthcare, I've provided many sub-cutaneous injections for diabetes maintenance and drug responsibilities. I've handled many small rodents including mice, and am comfortable with handling and providing care for smaller pets. I've managed care for animals with severe anxiety by providing them with daily psychiatric meds, and animals needing physical support with supplements, weight loss interventions (diet foods and safe, increased exercise), as well as animals with stranger fear. As a full time professional student, my mornings are often occupied by lectures, and Tuesday/Wednesday afternoons may be partially occupied for school responsibilities. I am very flexible, and can attend to pet care duties before, in between, and after my classes. I am open to over night stays and higher-maintenance care tasks, such as providing care for animals that require behavioral or psychiatric support during their family members absence. I enjoy playing with pets, within their boundaries of comfort. I have become apt at recognizing animals mood states, so I can properly respond to fear, excitement, anxiety, pulling on the leash, and over reactivity as necessary. I enjoy taking dogs on frequent walks if that is comfortable for them, and give occasional treats to reward 'good' behavior, such as sitting or laying down on command, and waiting to be fed. I am comfortable being cuddly with animals, and being very close and physical with them, if that fits in their boundaries. In my apartment I cannot host dogs, however, there are many parks and fields right in my backyard that I can bring your dogs to that they will enjoy.
“Alexis is a wonderful dog sitter. She is responsive and understanding of my dogs individual needs. He's an older boy and appreciates a good lap or couch for requent relaxation and Alexis is willing to provide that. This was our second time at doggy day care with Alexis and he rushed out of the car to visit her again!”

I can crate your furry family members, get them fed, out for walks etc. I'm comfortable with various walking equipment from harnesses to gentle leaders and collars.

About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies who need plenty of play and structure to senior pets who require extra patience and gentle care, I understand that every animal has unique needs and deserves individualized attention. I've cared for a variety of breeds and temperaments, and I'm comfortable following specific routines, administering detailed care instructions, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. I also have experience caring for pets with disabilities and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and adapting to each pet's individual needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a calm, reassuring presence, I'll provide dependable, compassionate care and treat them as if they were my own.

During visits, I make sure your pet has fresh food and water, plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship.

I also keep litter boxes clean, clean up after pets, and make sure your home is left just as I found it. Communication is important to me, so I'll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

My schedule is very flexible and open, so I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays whenever needed. I plan around each pet’s routine. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect as my own. I follow any instructions or schedules closely, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable.
About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and my family has four dogs of our own! I also completed a two-year Small Animal Science program and currently foster dogs. Through fostering, I’ve helped 7 dogs find their forever homes. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, energy levels, and needs, and I’ll always treat your pet like part of the family. Pet care fits really well into my routine because I work a consistent school schedule as a teacher and have plenty of time after work, in the evenings, and on weekends. I love spending that free time going for walks, stopping in for visits, feeding, playing, and giving pets some extra attention. Since I’m used to having four dogs in my family, caring for animals already feels like a natural part of my day. I always make safety, comfort, and trust a priority. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and try to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel as comfortable as possible. I’m respectful of your home, careful with doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions, and I’ll always give your pet the attention, patience, and care I’d want for my own dogs.

About: I have always been an animal lover. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different sizes, breeds, and with special needs. Let me spoil your cat or dog while you need to step away! I included pictures of past pets that I have owned or cared for. I work from home with a flexible daily schedule, so your precious pet will get non-stop attention. Daycare drop off and pickup hours can be between 6 am and 7 pm. Pickup times after 7 pm would need to be booked as overnight boarding with pickup the following morning. I offer extended stays as well. Currently, I don’t have any pets in my apartment, yet I have plenty of open space for hosting furry visitors. I have worked with many foster dogs who were abused and needed extra attention, so I am sensitive to any special needs your pet may have. I will be glad to take your dog for outside walks at least few times a day! Please let me know of any other needs your pet may have and I will be happy to discuss how I could accommodate.

About: Hi! I’m a passionate animal lover with a lifetime of experience caring for all kinds of pets. I currently have two big, lovable dogs—a German Shepherd and a Cane Corso—as well as two cats, so I know how to handle different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether your pup is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, they’ll get personalized attention and care like one of my own. Hi there! My name is Isabella , and I’m a professional hairstylist working Wednesday through Saturday. On my days off, I’m looking to spend more time doing something else I love—caring for animals. As someone who has had pets my entire life and currently owns two dogs (a German Shepherd and a Cane Corso) and two cats, I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and compassionate looking after your furry family members. I’d love the opportunity to help out with dog walking or pet care when you need an extra hand. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. At home, I provide a structured, loving, and safe environment for my pets, which includes two large-breed dogs—a German Shepherd and a Cane Corso—and two cats. I focus on consistent routines, daily exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection. My pets are well-socialized, receive proper nutrition, and are always kept clean, comfortable, and happy. Whether it’s going on long walks, engaging in playtime, or simply giving them the attention they need, I treat each animal with the respect and care they deserve. My experience with a variety of temperaments and needs allows me to confidently and responsibly care for others’ pets with the same level of dedication.

“Dana and Jeremy were wonderful! It was our first time leaving our dog and Dana and Jeremy made the process easy and treated our pup as their own. They were eager to learn his routine, kept it consistent, and sent regular updates. Their attentiveness provided the peace of mind needed to really enjoy our vacation. We are excited for the next time our dog gets to visit them!”
“Jin, was very friendly and very communicative. She treated my baby girl like her own. She took my booking at the last minute, I thank her for that. Highly recommended!”
“Joan and Timothy were so amazing with our son! We were gone almost a full week for our wedding and it was such a blessing that we found them. It was clear from the moment we first met them that they were very experienced in dog sitting and their home was perfectly equipped and spacious for our boy. They made sure to walk through his entire daily routine with us when dropping him off and they provided us with daily updates, pictures and videos on how he was doing. He came back to us a smiling and happy pup. Would absolutely book with them again - thank you so much Joan & Timothy!!!”
“Denae and Mark were absolute angels! They are such nice people! I felt that my crazy, young pittie was in great hands! Zero felt right at home during the first meet and greet and that made leaving her there for a long weekend less anxiety-inducing for both me and her as she is a bit of an anxious dog. They made her feel so comfortable! I will definitely be booking with them again and would recommend them for anyone! Lots of pictures and great communication! Thank you Mark and Denae!”
“Jenn & Brian did an amazing job with our puppy! She loved playing with their 3 dogs in their backyard and going on walks with them. They took great care of our puppy!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received. Toktam was incredibly kind and attentive, making sure my dog felt comfortable and happy the entire time. I received regular updates, which showed how well my dog was doing and how much care she put into every detail. I highly recommend Toktam to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter.”
“Monica watched my dog Koda for the day. I got sent pictures and updates, and it was very obvious that Koda had a great time! 10 out of 10 would recommend her for pet sitting!”
“Tona and Wanda (the Girls) spent a week with Alena. We enjoyed seeing the pictures and notes Alena sent. The Girls were in great shape when we took them home. And Alena went out of her way to help with getting the Girl's crate ready to travel. We highly recommend Alena when you need to board your pups.”
“Truly a spectacular place to leave my precious boy! Consider yourself lucky if she has openings available - I got multiple picture updates and I was confident that my pup was getting lots of love, cookies, and playtime. We will absolutely be back!”
“Anthony did a great job taking care of my pup. She can be shy and fearful in new situations and Anthony did a great job to keep her calm and comfortable. She enjoyed playing with his dogs, Yoki and Canelo. I enjoyed receiving updates and pictures of my pup while I was away which helped me feel at ease. Anthony is calm, reliable and welcoming. I plan to use his services again when I need them.”
“Once again Jessica provided the best care for our dog. He came back happy to see us, but also quite content and not the least bit stressed. Jessica is willing to provide pictures and updates, but is never bothersome. We absolutely trust her with our dog and will continue to look to her first.”
“Rio had lots of fun and had a lot of one on one interaction. She took him to get treats and toys and play and meet people and really tried to make Rio feel comfortable during his stay.”
“Rory had a great time with Denise and Star as always! It's nice to see how much they love him and his energy. They even sent him home with a cute bandana and bag of treats! 😊”
“Crystal was great with our dogs! It was our first time using this site and having dogs away from home but she made us feel so comfortable and reassured us that they will have above and beyond what they need. She sent us pictures and updates regularly which made us feel even better! I highly recommend Crystal!”
About: I’ve been caring for my own dog, Layla, since she was 3 months old and she’s now 9 years old. Being a dog dad has taught me patience, consistency, and how important routines, attention, and trust are for pets. I understand that every dog has their own personality and comfort level, and I care for each pet like they’re part of the family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or keeping up with routines, my goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine because caring for our own dog has already been part of our lifestyle for years. I work outside the home but have flexibility to take breaks and come home throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins. I understand every pet has their own routine and energy level, and I do my best to keep them comfortable, active, and cared for while you’re away. Creating a safe, comfortable, and trustworthy environment is very important to us. I've had my dog Layla since she was 3 months old and she’s now 9, so I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone who treats them like family. I follow each pet parent’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, routines, medications (if applicable), and preferred care styles. I offer boarding in our spacious two-bedroom apartment with access to nice grassy areas nearby for walks, potty breaks, and outdoor time. Small dogs are welcome on the furniture if that’s part of their normal routine and helps them feel more comfortable and at home. I also have our friendly dog Layla, who is already used to sharing her space and being around other pets, helping create a welcoming and pet-friendly environment. Our goal is to make every fur baby feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away.
