“Words can’t express my appreciation and pleasure with the care provided by Lesley. She accommodated our last minute request and before the day was over Bella was smiling and comfortable. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
“Marie was able to help me in more ways then one. She was an excellent boarding choice, but also she was able to help me understand my dog when it came to understanding her behavior/needs and training her. I left her home with more tools in my toolbox for my dog.”
“He did an amazing job! Sent pictures every day, took my very energetic dog on long walks, she came back such a calm dog. Accepted my late request and was a life saver!”
“What a great experience! First time using Rover and Rochelle was wonderful with our dogs, she kept us updated with pictures that let us enjoy the family service we had to attend. Will definitely use her services again as we like to visit the Rochester area. Thanks, Rochelle and Rover!”
“Cara and Dan are wonderful people! They took wonderful care of our dog while we were out at a wedding. If we lived in the area we’d ask them to care for our dog all the time! Thank you Cara and Dan!”
“Fabiola was fantastic. She sent consistent updates to let me know how my dog was doing and did a great job watching her. Would highly recommend!”
“Kim was fantastic, and my dog was so happy at her house. Kim sent lots of photos, and communicated well. I am so happy with Kim’s services, and will be returning again soon. Thank you!”
“Anthony and Jayson were lifesavers and able to watch our dog last minute after another sitter cancelled. Our dog had the best time with them and it was such a relief to see so many pictures of her playing and having a blast with other dogs while we were away. We are so appreciative of their flexibility and so happy we found them!”
“Jenn and her family were exceptional hosts for my Harlow's stay. Harlow was loved on and cared for as much as she is in her own home here with us. We don't often board Harlow, but will not hesitate to rebook with this lovely family.”
“Thomas was wonderful with our airedale terrier. He sent pictures and updates about their adventures. Our dog has food allergies and Thomas was able to make sure he did not come into contact with them. We will look forward to hiring him in the future.”
“Debra took excellent care of our goldendoodle Abby. She sent us pictures of Abby and she always looked as if she was right at home. Debra is very responsive and got back with me in a few minutes if I had any questions. Since we were moving to Rochester from Texas we booked her from the excellent reviews. We were not disappointed. We would not hesitate to use her again!”
“Alex and his wife Bethany were absolutely fantastic! They went above and beyond in providing the best care and attention for our two dogs. They gave one of our dogs the daily medication she needs and even gave her a bath with a medicated shampoo. We feed our dogs Fresh Pet and there were no issues with keeping the food refrigerated. The daily updates with pictures and narrated videos were great. We could see how much fun our babies were having and were informed right away of any issues or questions that came up. We loved that they got long daily walks, lots of play time outside, and cozy time on the couch. Our dogs have different personalities but Alex and Bethany provided individualized care to each of them, making sure our more timid dog was as comfortable as possible. We highly recommend booking with Alex and Bethany!”
“Our dog had such a great time with Jose! Jose was quick to get a hold of, flexible with setting up a meet and greet, and offers such a great rate for dog sitting. We will absolutely be returning!”
“Rebecca was great! Kept me updated and sent pictures multiple times a day. Our dog was well cared for and loved while we were away! Thank you so much for for caring for our baby!”
“Ada and Michele are very nice, professional and dog loving and caring two women. Austin and bI are very fortunate to find the m and I am very happy to leave my beloved Austin with them. They are very caring, attentive and dog loving people. Austin was very happy with them and I choose them anytime I needed future dog sitting. They are also very attentive and watched every aspect of Austin’s needs. During my vacation I was worry free with a feeling that Austin is in good hands. Thank you so much Ada and Michele. You guys are the best and Austin is lucky.”
“Brittani provided wonderful care to our energetic doodle when we recently passed through town. She sent photos and it was clear that our dog felt very comfortable in her home. Thank you, Brittani!”
About: I grew up on farms in the south, so I've been around animals my whole life. I moved to Rochester specifically because of how dog friendly it is. I think dogs deserve to be treated like family because they are our family! I work from home taking care of pets is my main job. If i could fill every hour of the week with animals, I would! I give every dog the time and attention they deserve. I have a fenced in back yard and a friendly dog of my own to keep yours company. I send pictures throughout the day to let you know how your pup is doing!
“Kasia is a SAINT - she watched our dog for 10 days, after he had recently had a procedure to have a growth removed. He had his cone, lots of medications, and was more uncomfortable than we had expected. She was so patient with him, help with tapering his meds over his recovering, transitioned him back to his normal food, and gave him lots of love. She was fantastic with updates too. We felt terribly putting this on her, but she handled it with grace and understanding. A true empath and dog lover. She is simply the best!”
“This was my pooch's third stay in 10 weeks, and everything was great. As always, I appreciate the daily updates w/pictures & confirmation that all is well, meds taken, played or walked, etc. I am appreciative & thankful for the attentive care for my dog while I'm out of town.”

“Alexandra/Allie was phenomenal - not only did she keep him entertained, fed and medicated, she also took many cute photos of him daily, paid extra attention to his urinary condition when there was a mini urinary blockage scare, and even attempted several nail trims (he's a squirmy one) as I've had so much trouble. I knew he was in good hands. Would 10/10 recommend, and would absolutely ask her again if she's available!”
“Paige is great! She always pays attention to how Blanch (our cat) responds to her—giving her space when she wants it and attention when she’s ready. Paige is always our first choice to care for Blanch when we’re away.”
“Lavinia did an amazing job looking after my cat! She was very considerate with excellent communication and went above and beyond to try and make a very shy boy feel comfortable!”
“Carly was a super responsive, diligent and caring cat sitter/ cat loving person! She sent pictures and reports, communicated regularly and made my kitties feel comfortable! One of my cats is very shy and hides, and she felt comfortably with Carly on the first day. I would be happy to continue with her for future cat care needs.”
“My cat loves Steffen, and he brought over toys for him to try and keep which was very thoughtful. The apartment was very clean when I got back. He also went above and beyond with helping me with a perishable package that came while I was gone.”
“We've booked Caroline a few times now and we've been so pleased each time. This most recent booking our cats were determined to make it hard for Caroline but she was up to the task. She was able to apply medicine to our more aloof (and angry) cat, ensure their diets were met, and even cleanup a few messes made by said cat. Caroline's updates were thorough and we looked forward to them every day.”
“Rachel was amazing! She took such great care of our cat during her drop-ins and was very accommodating during a tough holiday season. She was very reasonable with her prices and showed our cat so much affection!”
“We are so happy we found Rico. Our cat gets so stressed out when we leave her overnight. Rico took such good care of her. She acted like we had just come back from the grocery store after being gone for four nights. She was so relaxed and happy! On top of that the house so clean one could not even tell anyone had been there! Thank you Rico for taking such exceptional care of our Maxine! Best pet sitter EVER !”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We are so grateful to have found Morgan! She took care of our whole kitty crew with incredible attentiveness, warmth, and good humor. From the moment we connected, she was friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with — even asking thoughtful questions ahead of time to make sure they had all the details right. Throughout the week, we received daily updates, adorable photos, and sweet little stories about our cats’ personalities (even shy Chanchita came out of her shell!). She followed our very detailed instructions perfectly, including medication, litter box care, and keeping an eye out for mischievous Mr. Bingley’s adventures. When we accidentally left out a knife and panicked, they calmly reassured us it was already handled. She even took care of little extras like bringing in a Chewy delivery and making sure the finicky keypad didn’t slow them down. We came home to happy, well-fed, calm cats — who honestly seemed a little bummed their new best friends weren’t still around. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Morgan again. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for caring, reliable, and genuinely lovely people to care for your furry family!”
“So happy with Emily. She not only did all of her tasks perfectly, but went above and beyond the bare minimum to make us feel at ease and that our cats and home were taken care of. I truly did not worry for one single moment over almost two weeks, which any pet sitter knows is a precious gift! Thank you, Emily! I hope to work with her again!”
“We were so pleased with the spectacular drop-in care Ona provided to our two beloved cats. Our older cat is 19 and needs special meds, which Ona delivered with ease. Ona was timely, thorough, communicative, diligent and most importantly kind & caring. We could not recommend Ona more and will absolutely book again.”
About: I've had pets in the house for as long as I can remember! Growing up we had dogs of all sizes, cats, turtles, tortoises, fish, and frogs. I have experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes, from Yorkies to Rottweilers, and love them all. I currently have one cat named Olive, and plan to adopt a dog once I'm able to move to a larger space. I'm ready to take care of anything your pet needs - bathroom breaks, cat litter scooping, cleaning up accidents, refreshing water and food, play time, brushing, oral medication, etc. I'm currently working from home a few times per week, so I have a lot more flexibility in terms of scheduling pet care and walks. Summer weekends are typically busy, but if I'm in town I'm happy to help you out. I will always care for your animals as if they were my own. My goal is to make them as comfortable as possible, especially during the first meeting. I'm always on alert for changes in body language and behaviors that may let me know their comfort level. Every pet is different, but I can guarantee that I will treat each as the very best girl/boy there is.
“Anna was amazing! She watched our 4 shy cats for two weeks and had them greeting her at the door by day 2. We loved getting the daily updates and pics. Great communication and reliability. She over exceeded our expectations! We’ve already booked her services again!!”
“Daniel was wonderful in taking care of my two cats. He always took the time to stop and play with them and ensure they were doing alright. He even took pictures everyday to ease my anxiety and help me focus on enjoying my vacation. I would wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone.”

“I can't say enough about how awesome Elliot & Dominque were with my very active Husky! They seemed to have as much fun as she did which is absolutely wonderful and I know that Denali is in fantastic hands when she is with them. Thank you guys again and see you soon!”

“Ricardo was so great with our dog! Took him out for a walk in all kinds of weather, and he came home happy and tired. Great communication and updates - we are hoping to work with him again soon. Thanks Ricardo!”
“Sydney took our two large dogs so I could concentrate on enjoying the company of my young grandchildren without concern of them being knocked over. We dropped them in the morning and picked up at night. We got pictures of them going on good walks, and Sydney was great about responding to texts. We would definitely have her watch our boys again.”
“We were passing through Rochester and really needed a very trustworthy sitter for our highly separation anxious three legged Jack. So when we found Alex and Bethany and Jack trotted off with them with no anxiety, we knew we'd found the right match. These people clearly have the magic touch and the dedication to take care of any creature with any kind of special need. So I would recommend them a million times over. Honestly feeling kind of bummed we dont live in Rochester and therefore cant call on them more often.”
“Andriana was great with Monte while we went to the PGA tournament this weekend. He had a great time playing outside and went on a walk. Thanks again, we will definitely be using her again if we are back in Rochester.”
“Another awesome stay with Susan and Ella! This is the perfect, safe, playful, loving environment for our one and a half year old lab mix. The backyard is basically dog heaven, and Susan makes sure to keep all dogs safe and happy. All of the dogs that Susan hosts are awesome, and our girl always has a great time. Susan always checks in with videos and pictures, and her care for and knowledge of dogs shows every time. Having our pup stay with such a trustworthy, caring family is a huge relief to us while we are at work or out of town. Thank you Susan! :) ”
About: I've raised two energetic puppies through adolescence and frequently provide dog-sitting services for friends in the area. I also have experience working as an enrichment specialist at a well-known doggy daycare in Rochester and volunteering as a foster for local rescues. I am experienced with anxious dogs and can adapt to your fur-baby's specific needs. I'm trained in basic human and canine CPR, and I'm skilled at recognizing early signs of reactive behavior in animals. While I'm not perfect, I'm highly attentive. Since I’m home most of the time, I’ll ensure your pet stays healthy, happy, and safe! We are an adventure duo -- you can catch us at the beach playing fetch in the water, hiking, or just taking long strolls along the canal! On days where the weather is rainy, we still get 3 walks a day (morning, noon, evening) with thorough wipe downs after! Meal times are interwoven with short training sessions. I have dedicated several rooms in my house to doggy activity areas -- agility equipment, floor mats, etc (see photos). Grooming is done very regularly. My pup has environmental allergies so we also do a water rinse daily when we return from our adventures. When your baby stays with me, they will receive the same treatment (if they are comfortable getting brushed). He is my entire life and I couldn’t be happier! I have included photos of my home (and the excessive amount of dog toys we own) in my profile. Several of the rooms in my house are dedicated to doggy activities/enrichment and I also have a fenced in yard. I have also made sure that my set up allows me to separate dogs from each other if they ever get over stimulated -- I have enough rooms where each dog can be in their own room. I also have a doggy door so most days when the weather is not atrocious the dogs can relieve themselves/play as they please. Also my sun room is dedicated to dog care so if need be I can gate off/separate pooches that get too worked up (or just need privacy eating). I do have two crates — one for super small dogs and the other for dogs up to 35 lbs. My dog is crate trained but prefers free range so I have dog beds in every single room. Dogs are welcome on furniture but please make sure they have been recently bathed (within a few days before) if you are boarding as we keep our home extremely clean (the carpets get washed every month and vacuum and swiffering are done daily). We are probably not a good fit if your dog does not get along with other dogs, because my dog is still young and very energetic. If your dog does not like to play but does not react aggressively to other dogs attempting to initiate play, Momo would be fine as he does eventually give up if the other dog does not engage him at all. When we schedule a meet and greet, you can expect to meet us outside the front yard for a couple block long walk together before going to the backyard to let the pooches sniff each other out. Since Momo is a chow-mix, he is protective by nature and does not like it if other fur-babies he does not know well try to jump on his mom so I will likely only greet your baby after I put him back in the house.
About: About Me: I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands‑on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I grew up with a dog for eight years, and as an adult I’ve continued to care for dogs through family, friends, and Rover. My Experience: - Raised and trained my own German Shepherd from puppyhood with both personal training and help from a professional - Cared for my sister’s two dogs - Boarded multiple dogs in my home through Rover - House‑sat for families and watched their dogs - Provided post‑surgery care, including after her spay - Comfortable giving pills or medications - Confident walking large or strong dogs What I Offer: I love getting outside, playing, going for walks, and making sure each dog feels happy, safe, and cared for. Whether your dog needs exercise, structure, or just some extra affection, I’m here to help. I am currently in between jobs, so I have plenty of time to care for your dog! I go to the gym in the mornings and early evenings. My days are pretty wide open and flexible. I would love to be able to take your dog outside and go for walks. I want them to feel safe and comfortable around me. If I am sitting at your home, then I want to make sure they are in their normal routine and doing the things they enjoy and need on a daily basis.
About: Murphy and I are a tag team! Please only reach out if your pets are good with other dogs. I’ve always been the girl who is obsessed with dogs. I grew up with dogs and I was the one who took care of them, and that love for caring and training has only grown. I’m the type of person who needs a lot of “outside time” so my soul dog Murphy and I spend a good amount of time playing in the courtyard and going on multiple walks a day; I truly don’t know who’s happier. Currently, I have a very open schedule and it’s just Murphy and I at home all day. Some evenings I babysit for my family out in Spencerport, but kid friendly dogs are welcome to come with me and there is also a large yard (not fenced in, but there is a 30 ft leash set up). I have a fenced in grass courtyard where the dogs can play, and my apartment is very open and there’s lots of room for dogs to play inside. My dog Murphy does not need to be crated when left alone, but I have a small cage in case anyone who visits needs it. Murphy has more toys than I care to admit, so your pups will have lots to play with.
“Levi is awesome to work with! My dog Alfie absolutely loves going to daycare everyday and comes home so tired and happy, which makes me very happy too. I love the pictures and updates I receive throughout the day and Levi has been so accommodating with schedule changes. Would recommend without a doubt!”
“I really am so happy with the care my dog received here. She was happy and would have probably been happy to stay and play with these wonderful humans! It feels great to know that she is being loved a LOT! Highly recommend.”
“Rachel provided kind, attentive and friendly care to my girl Lucy. She provided photos and updates on Lucy and how her day was going. I feel that my girl is in great hands and that I trust Rachel is giving Lucy all the love and attention she needs!”
“Ivanna took good care of our pet. She asked ahead of time how the pet should be handles in terms of food, walks etc. She sent pictures of our pet during the sitting. The pet lookedhapoy at pickup. Overall it was a paw-sitive experience for our buddy.”

“Matthew walked our two large dogs while we were away for two weeks. His communication was great and the dogs were very happy! We will definitely have him walk them in the future when needed. Thank you, Matthew!”
“Fantastic. Stayed the full hour, followed all instructions, and my pups were calm and happy when I got home. It was a relief knowing they’re in good hands when I’m away. I’ll definitely be booking again. Highly recommend!”
“Caroline was super accommodating with our young puppy's (and our) needs. She was up for us walking along with her, so our puppy could get feel more comfortable around her for the first meeting. Definitely will be requesting Caroline again for help with our puppy!”

About: In highschool I was very popular in my neighborhood from doing there dog nails, to dog sitting, over night stays, and even medications. Even back in high school I had a part time and school and still made sure the fur babies were taken care of. To this day I still dog sit for my neighbor. I also worked at a doggy daycare for about 6 months then i moved, I learned so much while I was there in that short period of time from learning to gain respect and how to control a group of 15+ dogs . And was in a animal science program in highschool with a mentorship at a clinic, then tried to go to college for my vet tech degree but too expensive(still paying that off). I also do have a very energetic German shepherd who I train every day she knows pretty much everything(sit, lay down, roll over,paw, other paw,high five, spin, heel, center, look, leave it, back up, and wait). I also dog sat for my boyfriend's coworker who had an older pointer who had a seziure not only did I comfort the dog but I called owner asap then vet, I then called off of work. Just because it's not my animal doesn't mean I will love them any less. But the take away from all that is I have a lot of experience in the animal department. I'm currently working part time and have a lot of free time on my hands and love being around animals . I only work wensday-saturday the other days I'm free. But as you can see with my profile I do have my own fur baby but my boyfriend never works nights or weekends so she won't be alone. For the pets at clients housing not only will I respond to you text asap even if I'm busy, I will also ask for guide lines and try to keep your dog on the schedule you have them on consistency is key, especially when a change like you leaving happens. I also am a big over thinker so before I let the dog out if you have a yard I will always make sure the gates are close and secure and make sure there's nothing laying out that would harm them. When I dog sit I imagine as if it's my own dog.
“Rachel was the absolute sweetest and I can't wait to hire her again! She took amazing care of our dog, Maisie, who felt right at home with her. I really appreciated her willingness to come meet Maisie and get to know our house before we needed dog walking.”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a child. I grew up on a farm and had to care for the family pets. I have watched a plethora of dog breeds for a night, weekend, week, or just to check in. I have experience clipping nails, bathing, and administering medications. I love pet snuggles and giving treats as well as being very active with my pet friends!! I can be flexible with pet sitting needs and am able to provide services during the day, evenings and weekends. I do not provide housesitting overnight at this time. I have a loving energetic dog who loves friends to play with and a 12 year old daughter who loves caring for pets. We live in a townhouse style apartment that is cozy and welcoming. I do not have a fenced in yard but am comfortable leashing for potty breaks and long walks. I live within walking distance to our neighborhood dog park which I bring dogs daily to run and play freely. I am also able to provide transportation to my family’s home in Victor with a fenced in yard for private free play. I can easily crate if needed/preferred. I use positive reinforcement always with my own pet and others!

“Excellent rapport with my nervous doggie, Jenine was able to get her to go the entire half hour (the dog keeps wanting to return) and go potty before returning. Definitely recommend and my dog loves her!”
“Morgan was responsive, attentive to my dog, and communicated with me while I was gone. I had to go out of town with little notice and I have a very sensitive dog but she took him on nice long walks and gave me great recaps. My dog loved her and was happy to see her every time. Would 100% recommend Morgan”
About: I make time to care for dogs on my free time and love to make them feel special. I help busy hardworking owners feel relieved when they can work and know that their dog is in good hands. I am a student that is currently studying full time at my apartment and am available to schedule dog care. I am very organized and am able to set time for studying and pet care and play time. I can play with them and give them enrichment. I can pet them to soothe them. I can encourage drinking water to keep them healthy. I am very vocal when it comes to encouraging and letting pets know they are doing something well.
“Rico is amazing with our two Irish Red & White Setters. As he learned today, Truvy is very adept at scaling fences. Rico was on top of the situation and thwarted her planned escape.”
About: Hi my name is Jennel, I am 25 years and a resent Niagara University Graduate. While there I completed my Bachelors in Hospitality: Travel and Tourism. I got the opportunity to study in Europe for my last semester. I am a long time pet lover. I am detailed oriented, timely, patient, organized, energetic, friendly and very accommodating (I.e. clothing the dog, providing poop bags, treats etc.) If there is anything you need just let me know and I will do my best to meet those needs. I will also do my best to keep them safe and happy, I will show them the same love and affection as I do my families’. I have had experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I am super excited to meet your pets.
About: I love dogs! I've had dogs since I was a kid, so basically have been around them and taking care of them for my whole life. I am good with nail trims and baths as well! My schedule is pretty open. I have a car as well, so getting there wont be an issue. I work at wegmans part time, so i have plenty of free time! I have a little dog and a bearded dragon. Both house trained (yes the dragon poops in the yard lol) i usually walk dogs 3-5 times a day depending on how often they wanna go. I keep nails trimmed and stuff myself as well.
About: I’ve cared for my own dog for over four years and have hands-on experience volunteering at a farm animal shelter, where I cleaned habitats, prepared food, and provided enrichment. I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving environment for all animals. I'm home for the summer from Rochester, NY, and have open availability on both weekdays and weekends. I’m flexible, dependable, and happy to accommodate your schedule. In my home, your pet will enjoy playtime with my friendly large dog, a spacious environment, and safe outdoor time on a secure lead. I can crate your dog if needed and follow their routine closely. For drop-in visits and walks, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment tailored to their needs.
“Mo loves Rebecca! She gets so excited when it's time for her walk and comes back so happy (and tired!). Rebecca is dependable, punctual, and friendly. Highly recommend!”
About: I come from a family who has always had multiple pets at a time, with anywhere from 3 to 10 foster dogs under our care at any given time! I’ve cared for a wide range of dogs from smaller poodles and Shih tzus to much larger retrievers, border collies, and German shepherds. I have experience with cats as well, but much more lengthy experience taking care of dogs of different sizes and temperaments :) I am a med student so my schedule varies in flexibility but I live in a very walkable area and typically spend a lot of time at home studying! I love taking long walks in between classes and studying and would love to bring a furry friend along with me :) As I do have to be in classes some days for a few hours (no more than 3-4 at a time), i am better boarding pets who can be left alone for a couple hours. As for my home, I have plenty of space for them to run around freely.

“Alex and his wife Bethany were absolutely fantastic! They went above and beyond in providing the best care and attention for our two dogs. They gave one of our dogs the daily medication she needs and even gave her a bath with a medicated shampoo. We feed our dogs Fresh Pet and there were no issues with keeping the food refrigerated. The daily updates with pictures and narrated videos were great. We could see how much fun our babies were having and were informed right away of any issues or questions that came up. We loved that they got long daily walks, lots of play time outside, and cozy time on the couch. Our dogs have different personalities but Alex and Bethany provided individualized care to each of them, making sure our more timid dog was as comfortable as possible. We highly recommend booking with Alex and Bethany!”
“Our dog had such a great time with Jose! Jose was quick to get a hold of, flexible with setting up a meet and greet, and offers such a great rate for dog sitting. We will absolutely be returning!”
“Rebecca was great! Kept me updated and sent pictures multiple times a day. Our dog was well cared for and loved while we were away! Thank you so much for for caring for our baby!”
“Brittani provided wonderful care to our energetic doodle when we recently passed through town. She sent photos and it was clear that our dog felt very comfortable in her home. Thank you, Brittani!”
About: I grew up on farms in the south, so I've been around animals my whole life. I moved to Rochester specifically because of how dog friendly it is. I think dogs deserve to be treated like family because they are our family! I work from home taking care of pets is my main job. If i could fill every hour of the week with animals, I would! I give every dog the time and attention they deserve. I have a fenced in back yard and a friendly dog of my own to keep yours company. I send pictures throughout the day to let you know how your pup is doing!
“Kasia is a SAINT - she watched our dog for 10 days, after he had recently had a procedure to have a growth removed. He had his cone, lots of medications, and was more uncomfortable than we had expected. She was so patient with him, help with tapering his meds over his recovering, transitioned him back to his normal food, and gave him lots of love. She was fantastic with updates too. We felt terribly putting this on her, but she handled it with grace and understanding. A true empath and dog lover. She is simply the best!”
“This was my pooch's third stay in 10 weeks, and everything was great. As always, I appreciate the daily updates w/pictures & confirmation that all is well, meds taken, played or walked, etc. I am appreciative & thankful for the attentive care for my dog while I'm out of town.”
“Melissa and Tyler took such great care of our dog Leo. He loved playing with their dog Luna. You can tell they really like dogs and what they are doing. Their home is very dog friendly as well. We will definitely be boarding Leo again with them!”
“Michelle was very flexible and willing to work with our schedule changes, and took great care of our senior dog for a 10-day stay. She understood all of our concerns and gave us plenty of updates, and we went home with a happy pup!”
About: I have been breeding dogs since 2019 and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of various sizes, temperaments, and needs. Through breeding, grooming, and working closely with professional trainers and groomers in my network, I’ve developed a strong understanding of dog behavior, coat care, and handling techniques. I have groomed dogs through referrals and word of mouth and am very familiar with proper care, structure, and maintaining a calm environment. My background in the fire service has strengthened my reliability, attention to detail, and commitment to community trust. I take dog welfare seriously and treat every dog as if they were my own. I provide a safe, calm, and structured environment in my home with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. Dogs are always monitored, never left unattended outside, and introductions are done slowly and safely. I’m experienced with crate training and can crate dogs if needed or requested. Cleanliness, routine, and each pet’s individual comfort and safety are always my top priorities.
“Luna absolutely loved her stay with Kate (she told me so). She went on plenty of walks and had tons of play time. She swam, experienced fireworks for the first and made new friends. I received daily updates from her (including adorable photos). She really handle my high energy child with grace and I will definitely be booking again!”
“Hannah and her little ones were fantastic. Zoe probably would have lived with them!! She loves the little ones. Hannah was fantastic. I received lots of pics and Zoe was very well taken care of. She loves running in the fenced yard. I hope Hannah keeps in touch and lets me know when her new addition arrives. I feel like I’ve known her all my life. I would definitely use Hannah again. She was awesome.”
“Our first time taking a trip without our beloved Rocky. We could not have left him in better hands. The daily updates were great, and he seemed to have a great time. I highly recommend Xiting and would use her services again if she is available.”
