“My girl Josie had a fantastic time with Nicole; she was well-cared for, well-loved and I received daily updates and pics of all the fun she was having. I highly recommend Nicole and will certainly use her again!”
“My dog had a great time with Jennifer, Thomas and their kids. They’ shared photos of her getting petted on the couch and going on walks. She was exhausted when she came home after having had a very fun day with this lovely family.”
“Loretta loves the dogs and they are family members in her home. Lots of pictures and videos sent while away. Welcoming and warm environment. We will be back!!”
“Christine has been a great “second home” for Tyr. He goes barreling in the door as soon as he sees her. It is wonderful to know he is so happy to be dropped off there and we know he is well taken care of. We would highly recommend Christine.”
“Janice is incredible! She loves and cares for animals so naturally and openly that my puppy quickly became part of her family. It’s such a relief to know she is cared for and well looked after in a loving home on a safe and happy farm! Janice and her family really are the best!! 💕🐾”
“What an amazing dog boarding experience. My dog loved her so much he has even pulled me toward her house when we go on our regular walks because he missed her! I highly recommend any”
“Maggie was great with our dogs. Her place is very comfy for them and you can tell that she just gets dogs. Lots of room, very accommodating, very responsive. Got a couple of great photos while we were away. Will definitely have Maggie watch our dogs again!”
“Donna is absolutely great, very nice, accommodating and very punctual. She sent many pictures with our dog, who seemed very happy and well taken care of. We are very pleased to have met her and shall definitely contact her again for future bookings. Thank you, Donna!”
“Jeff was wonderful to deal with from beginning to end. He is a great communicator and quickly responds to all communication. He clearly expressed details of arrival, pickup and what to bring for our pup while we were away.He is thorough but very flexible and understanding of both the pups needs as well as the owners. This was the best experience of leaving our pup so we could get away for our anniversary. He laid all our anxieties to rest. I totally recommend Jeff without reservation!”
“A heartfelt thank you to Mary Ann for her care for Hope while I was traveling for 8-9 days! I returned to a very happy Pup (what more could you ask for?!)! Greatly appreciate Mary Ann’s care and will no doubt reach out in future!”
“Cherissa was an amazing host. I had a cancellation last minute with a sitter due to an emergency and she was available and so easy to work with. She shared pictures and updates of our puppy multiple times throughout the day of what my fur baby was doing. I will definitely be booking with Cherissa again.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was so happy I chose Gabriel. My dog Jack is a 17 year old who is blind, hard of hearing and frail. Gabriel’s love for dogs was evident by the excellent care he gave Jack. The daily pictures he sent of Jack were heartwarming and allowed me to feel relaxed during my vacation. Gabriel will definitely be my choice the next time I need to board Jack.”
“Nicole was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She sent pictures and daily check-ins about how she was doing. She also made sure my dog was ok after she was showing signs of a tiny issue with her tail and made sure to keep me updated about it. Nicole and her family were great with my dog, who is energy and very clumsy. She was very clearly well loved and cared for while I was away, I felt so relieved knowing my dog was in such good hands. I will definitely contact Nicole for future stays!”
“I have always been very happy with Maria watching our dogs. I have used her any time we go on vacation and my daughter is a regular customer now too. The thing I like best ( and my dogs like too) is this is not a kennel- it’s a home that they become part of the family. My dogs never liked kennels and became very upset whenever I brought them to one. At Maria’s they jumped out of the car and were happy to be there - like visiting a relative home. I’m very glad I found Maria and most of all my dogs are very glad too!”
“Mildred was AMAZING watching our dog Sandy. She was highly responsive, very accommodating, and gave Sandy all the love and attention she needed. She sent photos and updates throughout her stay. Would highly recommend Mildred to anyone, and would definitely book with her again!”
“Annette is AMAZING! I have never left any of my dogs and from the first time I met Annette, I saw how much she really cares about the dogs. Max had a ball and Annette always had great contact with me. I will definitely be using her in the future. Just knowing that my little boy was so taken care of and loved while i was gone, made it so much easier for me to enjoy my family vacation! Thank You Annette.”
“Franny and her husband were absolutely wonderful!! They took extra great care of our pup! I highly recommend. It was soo convenient being right down the road from camp Pontiac, where we attended a wedding.”
“Brandie and her family was a delight and a great first experience Rover! My Charger is a HUGE dog and he was treated as if he were their own. She made him homemade dog treats, he loved the outdoor play and I received pictures and videos while I was away. Her home was clean and comfortable and her family was family friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be rebooking.”
“John and Orie are amazing. They take such good care of our pups when we’re away, whether it’s for a weekend or an extended period of time. One thing we’re super grateful for is their flexibility around timing, and even taking on an additional dog, or adding a night when our plans unexpectedly change! Highly recommend 💚🐕!”
“My pup stayed at Kimberly’s home for a night. She took great care of him! She was very easy to communicate with and responsive. Kimberly is a true animal lover! I highly recommend her and will definitely reach out to her in the future!”

“The second time Christine stayed with Suki, my kitty was totally comfortable with her. Watching the two of them upon my return home, I could see there was a real bond between them. Beyond ensuring a pet's physical needs are being met, its emotional well-being is the most important and most challenging thing a pet sitter needs to provide for. I am happy that I can be away from home knowing that Suki will be cared for and contented in her own space with someone she trusts and loves. Christine kept me well informed with updates and photos while I was away, too, which kept ME happy!”
“Rachel was ideal in every way! Great communication, totally responsible, left the house in beautiful condition, made the cat fall in love with her. My time away was stress-free knowing that Rachel was caring for my guy Herbie.”
“Ashley was amazing! We were in constant communication, she sent a ton of pictures, and I could enjoy being away knowing my three kitties were well taken care of. There was inclement weather and she still found a way to get to my place and take care of my kitties. Thank you so much Ashley!!”
About: I had an older cat when I was younger that just wanted to be left alone and now have adopted 2 kittens that constantly want to be pet. I think the vast difference between their personalities has prepared me to take care of others.
“Janice has been our go-to sitter for our 2 kitties for a few years now. She and Sidney are caring, consistent, and wonderful communicators. It is such a relief to know that our cats are in good hands with someone we can trust in our home while we are away.”
“Kayla has been the absolute best cat sitter I could’ve asked for!! My cat is generally very shy with new people but with Kayla’s warmth and friendliness she opened up right away and loved playing with her :) Kayla is super responsive and absolutely would book with her again!”

About: We have a beloved Cat named Chocolate, my daughters named her Chocolate because they “really love Chocolate”! I also have 2 small senior dogs that get along with cats. I have never met an animal that I don’t like…dog, cat, farm animal or wild animal. They all are special and a pet is absolutely a family member. I whole heartedly understand the love of a pet and promise to treat them as part of my family while they’re in my care.
“Nicole was great for a pinch hit to take care of my dogs during a very unexpectedly complicated day. She knew just what to do, throw the ball! And sent pictures and updates. Thank you Nicole!”
About: Hi there, I’m Chrissie, a dog lover with 15 years of pet care experience! Beyond prior pet care and volunteer experience, I’ve had plenty of foster dogs and my own, one less than active dog currently making it all the more fun for me to keep active dogs busy. I can care for and work with dogs with most any need both health wise and behaviorally. I love getting to know dogs of all ages, sizes and personalities and will be sure to follow any routine and needs they have as instructed. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions if I might be a fit for what you’re looking for whether a one-time or regular need. Always happy to do a free meet-and-greet as well. Wishing you the best as you find the right care for your furry family member(s)! Although notice is great, I am happy to take last minute bookings. With my work I can easily fit my schedule to your dog's typical exercise, engagement, and feeding routine. I would care for them however you request, and however they’re used to being taken care of. I’d follow whatever care instructions you provide along with any notes shared with me during our meet and greet.
“Wonderful experience - we had to rush out of town twice because of an elderly parent’s health. Samantha was there for us both times even though it was short notice. She saw to our cats needs and even helped out with an issue with unplugging a machine that was left running. Wonderful lady!!!”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I rescued my first dog from the local humane society when I was 11, and that experience started a lifelong passion for caring for animals. Before becoming a nurse, I worked as a veterinary assistant for two local animal hospitals where I gained valuable hands-on experience with animal care and handling. I developed skills in basic training, puppy socialization, reading animal body language, medication administration, subcutaneous fluids, nail trimming, grooming, and bathing. I also volunteered for several years with a local dog rescue as a foster, helping provide temporary homes, structure, and love for dogs before their adoptions. Many needed socialization, basic training, and a calm environment to help them thrive. I later served as the rescue’s foster and event coordinator until 2020. Today I share my home with three of my own beloved dogs. One of our previous dogs had epilepsy and required frequent monitoring and medication, which gave me additional experience caring for pets with medical needs. In my free time I enjoy traveling, camping, hiking with my dogs, training with our Belgian Malinois, and watching my daughter ride her horse. Caring for animals has always been a true passion of mine, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a nurse who works three 12-hour shifts each week, which gives me several days off to dedicate to caring for animals. I truly enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. My schedule is fairly flexible on my days off, and I’m happy to work with you to meet your pet’s individual needs and routine. Please check my calendar for availability and feel free to reach out with any specific requests. I will always do my best to accommodate and treat your animals with the same care and attention I would give my own. At this time, I’m unable to host dogs in my home, but I’m happy to care for them in the place they feel most comfortable—your home. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and extended daytime care depending on your pet’s needs. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care in a calm and compassionate environment, treating your pets with the same attention and kindness I would give my own.
“Nathan did a wonderful job looking after our three eccentric cats. We have one cat who needs meds twice a day and he had no problem dosing him. Even the shy cat came out for him! We came home to calm, happy cats! Thank you Nate!”
“Alexa took great care of our cats. She was easy to communicate with, and we could tell that the cats were happy when we got back and hadn’t been lonely. I would use her services again and recommend to others.”

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment. I always follow the owner’s routines and instructions carefully so the pet feels comfortable and secure. I take time to build trust with each animal, using positive reinforcement, patience, and lots of affection. I make sure the home stays tidy, doors and gates are secure, and pets always have fresh water, proper feeding times, and safe exercise.

About: Hi my name is Cory! I love dogs and they seem to know it right away. I have been around dogs since I was 4 years old. I have owned 2 akitas and an English bulldog . My latest Akita Diablo passed away 5 years ago and I haven't gotten another dog since his passing so currently I have no dogs. I only have chinchillas and a hamster as of now. I have a lot of experience working with dogs and they seem to feel relaxed and comfortable when in my care, making this the perfect job for me. I know how to approach these animals in a way that is non-threatening to reduce their anxiety and to help them relax. I can help to maintain the routine they are used to, so they will not get anxious or feel so alone while their owners are away. I have extensive knowledge concerning the different breeds of dogs and I know how to take care of them properly. I understand that some breeds have special needs and that the age of the dog will play a major role in how to take care of them. You can depend on me to provide excellent service and to take great care of your dog/dogs. I know what questions to ask to make sure I understand their specific needs. I will be full time dedicated to your furry child, providing walks and play time as much as needed! There is nothing I wouldn't do to make your dog feel comfortable and keep their schedule to your liking. Please provide a list with your dog's habits so I can make sure they feel at home. Don't hesitate to contact me, I am very flexible with my time, and I will love and care for your dog as my own. I'm currently off from work during the summer and during the school year I only work part time at an elementary school down the road from me (2 1/2 hrs) , So I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I will do anything to make your pup feel comfortable and at home away from home during his stay with me. I love detailed instructions so please feel free to let me know everything about your pet! I have a fenced in yard and 2 children who are huge dog lovers who would love to keep your dog(s) busy and keep them company!
“Steve was great with Miss Hazel. He was timely and attentive to her. Followed our instructions well and gave us lots of updates. In fact when we came home, she expected him to be there. When she didn’t see him, she went looking for him all over the house! We were only gone 2 days and already she loved him! Thanks for the peace of mind while we were away from our girl!”

“This was for a meet and greet with my dog Rumor. Christine and her Mom seemed like lovely ladies who are around through the day to care for their guest dogs. We will strongly consider Christine for Daycare and Boarding in the future.”
“After 20 years of using the same pet sitter we moved and had to find someone else. Lucky for us we found Janice on Rover. When we returned after just one visit our dog greeted Janice like an old friend. She clearly loves animals and we are so glad we found a place for our dogs where they are really cared for.”
“Dim Sum had such a great stay with Benjamin and his partner on their beautiful farm! They were super helpful with being available last minute and gave Dim Sum a cozy spot to stay. Bonus points for being able to say hi to their beautiful horses too :). Highly recommend!”
“We had Chip stay with Loretta for day care and he left a happy doggie! It took Chip a minute to get comfortable with the other doggie friends but he did just fine! Loretta was great with communication and responded promptly. We got a lot of pictures and updates throughout the day which was comforting to know Chip was in good hands! Thank you, Loretta!”
“Kennedy has a fabulous time with Samantha and Michael and their adorable kids! We got updates and pictures and they were very quick to respond. We were very happy and would highly recommend them! Kennedy would love to come back to play!”

“Nicole was wonderful with our dog Riley! She took him for doggy daycare and you know he enjoyed it because the second day we brought him he couldn’t wait to jump out of the car to see her! Her kids were great with him too. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Riley with Nicole again.”
About: I’ve had animals since I was a child. A horse when I was 10 dogs, cats and still have dogs, cats and a horse in my life as of now have no problems with ministering medication to any animal. I am retired. Looking for a hobby that I love. I am available all times of the day seven days a week. It may be so. I have five small dogs of my own with a backyard fenced in and a doggie door for them to go in and out as they please.
“Jacqueline was very friendly and communicative, and Bunsen took an instant liking. We received photos of her well-being during her stay and of her mile walk. Jacqueline’s home is conveniently located in a popular historic town, making drop-off/pickup easy on the way to/from Hunter Ski Resort from our hotel. Bunsen was well cared for and happy. She was also so tired, that she managed to rest during the long car ride back home! We would book Jacqueline again.”
“Amanda was an amazing sitter for our dog Honey! She was thoughtful, communicative, flexible on timing, and Honey seemed so happy and calm when we picked her up. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
“This was my first time leaving my 8 month old puppy, George.with anyone. I was very nervous. Nayeli put me at ease . Her home felt very safe and comfortable and I knew he would be well supervised. George enjoyed playing with Nayeli's puppy . Nayeli sent me photos and videos of George throughout the day. I feel very happy to have found Nayeli and I will bringing George back. I highly recommend!”
“Brody had a great time meeting Alison and Jack. It was calm and clean when we got there. Brody was only there for a meet and greet (2.5 hrs). When I got back he was really happy to see me!”
“Kery is super nice, has a great space for hosting my pup, great communication, and the wonderful experience. I highly recommend. The minute my boy got there he went right to her and didn't even look back for me when I started the car and left. That says a lot.”
“Finding the right sitter for my two cavapoos is very important to me as they are very sweet but high energy. Thalya is so caring and attentive. She asked questions and followed instructions to the letter. She sent the cutest pictures. She was very flexible and understanding and very honest as well. My pups loved her and I feel super confident in booking her again.”
About: Growing up with 6 dogs in our home at once, I have a special connection and love for animals. Working with rescues, pure breed dogs, females in heat and knowing how to whelp, has given me plenty of experience. I have been boarding dogs in my home for over 7 years. I am home full time, with the occasional errand to run. There is a place to hike, with great trails, right up the road from my home. I have a fenced in yard where dogs can run, play and hangout in the sun. I live on 9 acers, for us to explore and go for walks. I have dogs of my own, so your dog will have plenty of socialization and play time. Raw food diet or special dietary issues are not a problem. Meet and greet is required for all potential stays.
“Marielle took great care of my little Zuzu! My puppy started the day sad about me leaving her there and by the end she was totally bonded with Marielle! She was also totally tuckered out so she clearly got plenty of exercise.”

About: Hello, My name is Patricia , I am originally from Ireland. I have been fortunate to have had 4 full time house dogs throughout my life in addition to caretaking for multiple other dogs over the years. I love the company of dogs and look forward to finding some 4 legged friends to go on walks with. I am retired and have a very open schedule. I am mobile and willing to drive to drop off and pickup when needed. I Have flexibility throughout weekends or extended trips if necessary I treat a clients home as if it's my own. I am a neat and organized person and believe in a healthy environment for dogs as well.
About: With years of pet-caring experience and repeat clients, I will love your pets as if they are my own. With my gentle giant, Sunny, we provide a safe, healthy, fun “home away from home” for your dog or cat. Due to his mellow, peaceful nature, Sunny is an especially apt playmate and partner for young puppies, first-time boarders, seniors, and cats. I’m also available to brush out and feed your horses while you’re out of town. I work remotely, and am fully available to care for your dog and/or cat. I can accommodate early risers (starting from 6am) to late bloomers (your pup can sleep in until 10am!). Every weekend, I take Sunny and any visiting pups to the Salisbury Community Dog Park in CT. I live in a spacious, clean three-story home in Amenia. Your pup or cat is welcome to the couch. I rarely watch TV, so the space is nice and quiet. We have a spacious (unfenced) backyard, so I’m happy to walk dogs out there, but never without a leash. For any first-time cat visitors who might be a bit timid, I have a quiet guest bedroom with a comfy bed — he or she can call it their private room as they acclimate to their new surroundings. 👑😊
“Chrissie has been walking Summer for nearly 3 weeks now and has been a tremendous help in making sure Summer gets some exercise & TLC while I am at work. If you need someone to care for your pup while you're otherwise occupied, Chrissie is the best choice and will treat your dog like she's her own. I can't recommend her highly enough!”
“Ashley is a delight. She was very communicative and caring about our elderly dog with special needs. We only needed her to come and take him for a walk, but he is blind and deaf and also wears a diaper. She let us know when she got to our house and sent pictures afterwards. We felt very comfortable with her and will definitely be using her again.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life forever, and caring for them isn’t a job for me — it’s truly a passion. I’ve owned animals my entire life and currently have four dogs, who are very much like my kids. I understand how important trust, consistency, and love are when someone is coming into your home to care for your pet. I specialize in drop-in visits and dog walking, making sure your pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while you’re away. Whether that’s a refreshing walk, playtime, feeding, litter box care, or just some extra cuddles and reassurance, I treat every visit as if it were my own pet. I’m also a mom to three girls who absolutely adore cats and dogs and have grown up learning how to be gentle, respectful, and loving with animals of all personalities. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and happy in their own home. When I visit, your pets aren’t just being checked on — they’re being genuinely cared for. ❤️🐶🐱 I am of mom of 3 school aged girls! Mid day walks are my speciality! During school days off- I have little helpers that love playing with dogs and cats! (With your approval, of course!) I offer drop ins and overnight care when requested. Dogs are always happiest in their own homes. I have 4 dogs , and can accommodate 1-2 more depending on size and temperament.
About: Please note: Pricing can be flexible depending on the situation, length of stay, and number of pets. I’m always happy to talk through the details! I’ve been pet sitting for over 15 years and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m one of those people who naturally gravitates toward dogs wherever I go. I also have six dogs of my own (including large breeds), so managing different personalities, routines, and energy levels is something I’m very comfortable with. These days I focus on in-home pet sitting, because most pets are happiest staying in their own space and keeping their normal routine. I know how hard it can be to leave your animals when you travel, so my goal is always to make it feel like they’re just hanging out with a friend who loves dogs as much as you do. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages — from energetic young pups to seniors who need a little extra patience and care. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following detailed instructions to make sure everything stays consistent while you’re away. I’m very attentive and tend to get pretty attached to the animals I care for. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe, and getting lots of attention while you’re gone. If you’re looking for someone experienced, reliable, and genuinely excited to spend time with your pets, I’d love to connect. Pet care is part of our everyday life! My wife and I both work remotely about 90% of the week, which gives us plenty of time and flexibility to care for our own six dogs — and any visiting pets, too. Our days naturally revolve around feeding, walks, playtime, and snuggles, so incorporating other pets into that rhythm fits right in. In our home, pets are treated like family. We have a spacious, safe property with fenced areas for play and exercise, and we keep routines consistent with what each pet is used to, including feeding schedules, walks, and downtime. Since my wife and I both work from home most of the week, someone is almost always here to give attention and care. For client homes, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible - from meals and walks to playtime and cuddles - to keep them comfortable and stress-free in their own environment.
About: I have had a variety of animals throughout my life. Dogs, cats, reptiles(even an alligator at one point). I currently have 4 snakes as well. I currently work 12 hour shifts on Thursday and Friday. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday day are pretty open now. We can certainly discuss time frames that work for both of us I request that if there are any special instructions for your pet, that you have them written out for me. I will travel to you to take care of your fur child of any age. I always respect my clients homes and pets.
About: Choosing a sitter is about more than just a check-in; it’s about finding a calm, capable environment where your pet feels truly understood. My background in healthcare naturally informs how I care for animals—I tend to be an observant caregiver, keeping a watchful eye on comfort levels and the small details that matter for a pet’s well-being. As a working-from-home mom, my days are rooted in a reliable routine. This allows me to provide the consistent, low-stress supervision that is so helpful for all animals who need a little extra help and those who require a patient, intuitive touch to feel at home. I have experience caring for a wide range of needs and species—from the high energy of puppies to the quiet companionship of seniors, the unique needs of rescues, and even farm friends like chickens. Whether it's keeping a medication schedule on track, assisting with mobility challenges, or simply providing a quiet space for a nervous soul to decompress, I focus on creating a safe, gentle environment where every animal in my care can truly relax. If for some reason (vacations/getaways) we are unavailable it will be marked on the calendar. I do my best to confirm my calendar and availability daily. Our front and back yard is fenced in and we are set back from the road. There is plenty of room to run and play. As for feeding; All dogs and/or cats will be fed separately. This includes treats.
About: Hi there! My name is Alicia and was born and raised in the Hudson Valley- after some time In the city I am back in the Valley and ready to hike, spend time in nature and hang with animals.

I will do my best to take the dogs out as often as you like and around the same time they normally do. I have taken care of animals my whole life. Looking forward to hearing from you and discussing your pet sitting needs! I am currently working part time from home so I have lots of time to keep your pet company! We have a nice yard and some great local parks/ trails If the need more exercise. I have an unfenced yard but will keep pups on leash and safe.

Caring for animals has always been a true passion of mine, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a nurse who works three 12-hour shifts each week, which gives me several days off to dedicate to caring for animals. I truly enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. My schedule is fairly flexible on my days off, and I’m happy to work with you to meet your pet’s individual needs and routine. Please check my calendar for availability and feel free to reach out with any specific requests. I will always do my best to accommodate and treat your animals with the same care and attention I would give my own. At this time, I’m unable to host dogs in my home, but I’m happy to care for them in the place they feel most comfortable—your home. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and extended daytime care depending on your pet’s needs. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care in a calm and compassionate environment, treating your pets with the same attention and kindness I would give my own.
About: I have been around animals all my life. Born in the country, cows and horses are most common, but I’ve come to love having dogs, cats, and reptiles of my own! There has never been an animal I couldn’t warm up to, and I love getting to know every pets unique personality. I DO OWN PETS, I just am not offering boarding services or requesting sitting services so I would prefer not to share their details! I am always willing to move around my schedule to better fit my clients needs! I have a ride I depend on for now while I’m learning to drive, so I cannot be out too late unless I’m staying the night. I prefer to pet sit or walk pets at other homes, not my own, as I have a reactive dog with history of abuse, and she is not amicable with other pets.
“Kayla was communicative during the booking process, and punctual for our dog walk! She was friendly and warm with our pup, and we look forward to working with her again.”
“Nathan walked our dog twice yesterday and also fed her. Communication was easy and all instructions were followed, leaving us with peace of mind and a happy dog. I’m wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his services to others.”
About: My earliest memories feature dogs and cats, and they have been in my life since the age of three. Frankly, it's difficult to imagine my life without them. I have been taking care of my own, family and friends furry companions from the age of ten. I'm here for the snuggles, pets, playtimes, walks, potty breaks, litter changes and the quiet times too. From tiny, eight week old puppies, prime adults and elderly dogs that require a different kind of care and patience, to rambunctious kittens and their chill adult counterparts, each animal has a personality of their own; I'm here for them all. When people ask if I'm a cat or dog person, for me there isn't a choice; it's both! I've had experience with: - House and command training puppies from the age of eight weeks and up - Daily walks, usually between 30 min minimum to 2-3 hours; I love walks too, so it's a win-win 🐾 - Administering oral and topical medications to canines; mouths, eyes, and ears - Playtime! Or just keeping them quiet company, if that's what they prefer. - Dropping in and checking on our feline babies: changing litter boxes, feeding, play and keeping them company. I love spending time with cats of any size and stage. I am currently working part-time in food/hospitality, and begin seasonal event work in the springtime so my schedule is flexible. Currently, I have flexible availability for walks, drop-in visits or house-stays on Monday, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. When dropping in for a visit at a client's home, I always make sure to keep the space secure and clean for our four-legged friends. Pet owners can rest assured that their dogs will be engaged with and supervised, and cat people will know that their kitties are in a safe, calm environment. Animals are special to me, and I aim to treat them all as if they are my own.
About: I have been a pet lover & pet care advocate for as long as I can remember! I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities my entire life. I’ve had pups, taken care & rescued cats, & cared for pets like bunnies & hamsters. Over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and love their pets like my own which I do with a smile. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs to play & burn off some energy, or a sweet senior pup who needs extra patience and care, I adapt to their unique needs and personalities. I’m not just a sitter, i’m an emotional support human & a dependable companion for your pet while you’re away. I believe in consistent communication, lots of love, and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. I love & care for them as if they were my own. I’m experienced with administering medications, sticking to routines, and keeping pets calm and comfortable in their own environment. Your comfort, peace of mind, & your pet’s happiness are my top priority! As someone who works from home and takes online classes, my schedule is super flexible—perfect for giving your pet the attention they deserve! I’m home throughout the day, which means your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches. Whether it’s a midday walk, playtime, or just some company while they nap, I can be there when they need it most. My routine allows me to be fully present and responsive to your pet’s needs. I can stick to their feeding and walking schedule, provide consistent companionship, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. Being home all day also makes me a great fit for puppies, senior pets, or dogs who need a little extra TLC. When I care for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your pet’s routine closely & I make sure they’re comfortable in their space, following their usual schedule for walks, meals, playtime, and cuddles. Whether it’s sticking to their favorite walking route or knowing exactly how they like their food prepared, I pay close attention to every detail you share. I know how much the little details matter! Being in their own environment helps your pet feel more relaxed, and I’m there to make sure they feel loved every step of the way. I’m experienced in administering a variety of medications, including flea and tick ointments, oral chewy meds, and pills; whether they’re hidden in a treat or given directly. I stay calm and patient to make the process as stress-free as possible. I’m comfortable managing multiple pets and giving each one the attention and care they need. I treat your home with the same respect and care I give to your pet: clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. I provide regular updates with messages & photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands & know everything is going smoothly while you’re away.

“Loretta loves the dogs and they are family members in her home. Lots of pictures and videos sent while away. Welcoming and warm environment. We will be back!!”
“Christine has been a great “second home” for Tyr. He goes barreling in the door as soon as he sees her. It is wonderful to know he is so happy to be dropped off there and we know he is well taken care of. We would highly recommend Christine.”
“Janice is incredible! She loves and cares for animals so naturally and openly that my puppy quickly became part of her family. It’s such a relief to know she is cared for and well looked after in a loving home on a safe and happy farm! Janice and her family really are the best!! 💕🐾”
“What an amazing dog boarding experience. My dog loved her so much he has even pulled me toward her house when we go on our regular walks because he missed her! I highly recommend any”
“Maggie was great with our dogs. Her place is very comfy for them and you can tell that she just gets dogs. Lots of room, very accommodating, very responsive. Got a couple of great photos while we were away. Will definitely have Maggie watch our dogs again!”
“Jeff was wonderful to deal with from beginning to end. He is a great communicator and quickly responds to all communication. He clearly expressed details of arrival, pickup and what to bring for our pup while we were away.He is thorough but very flexible and understanding of both the pups needs as well as the owners. This was the best experience of leaving our pup so we could get away for our anniversary. He laid all our anxieties to rest. I totally recommend Jeff without reservation!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was so happy I chose Gabriel. My dog Jack is a 17 year old who is blind, hard of hearing and frail. Gabriel’s love for dogs was evident by the excellent care he gave Jack. The daily pictures he sent of Jack were heartwarming and allowed me to feel relaxed during my vacation. Gabriel will definitely be my choice the next time I need to board Jack.”
“Nicole was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She sent pictures and daily check-ins about how she was doing. She also made sure my dog was ok after she was showing signs of a tiny issue with her tail and made sure to keep me updated about it. Nicole and her family were great with my dog, who is energy and very clumsy. She was very clearly well loved and cared for while I was away, I felt so relieved knowing my dog was in such good hands. I will definitely contact Nicole for future stays!”
“Mildred was AMAZING watching our dog Sandy. She was highly responsive, very accommodating, and gave Sandy all the love and attention she needed. She sent photos and updates throughout her stay. Would highly recommend Mildred to anyone, and would definitely book with her again!”
“John and Orie are amazing. They take such good care of our pups when we’re away, whether it’s for a weekend or an extended period of time. One thing we’re super grateful for is their flexibility around timing, and even taking on an additional dog, or adding a night when our plans unexpectedly change! Highly recommend 💚🐕!”
“Thayla took care of our dog Foxy, while we were away on a 2 week trip. My family and I felt so comfortable leaving her with Thayla, because she is an extremely nice dog loving person who treated our dog like her own. She took our dog on 3 walks everyday, sent us pictures and updates everyday about the fun things they were doing. Will definitely leave Foxy with Thayla and her dogs next time we are going away again. Thank you ❤️ Camilla and Foxy”
“Stephen is a super care taker, for sure. Great and timely communications, friendly and very accommodating for a last minute request. Made the whole experience of looking after my Gracie seamless and easy.”
“Kate has a very warm demeanor and my first impression when I brought our dog Astrid over to her house for a meet and greet before boarding, was that she would care for our dog as if she were her own. Astrid is usually quite anxious when she’s first introduced to a new person and a new environment, but she appeared to be more at ease much quicker with Kate at her house than she typically is. Kate sent us regular pictures and updates, was very flexible about our schedule for pickup and drop-off, prompt and easy to communicate with, and we didn’t worry about Astrid at all. We will certainly reach out to Kate again when planning future boarding accommodations for our sweet Astrid.”
“Samantha & Michael were great to deal with! got plenty of updates and pictures!! and their children were great with Marshall as well...... We will be using them again for sure!”
“Our little guy, Wrigley, had an absolutely wonderful stay with Judy and Steven! I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a warm, welcoming environment for their pup. As a beagle, Wrigley usually hates being left behind—but I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. He got the royal treatment with pup cups, plenty of love and attention, and he even made a new friend in their sweet dog, Ginger. Thank you, Judy and Steven, for making Wrigley feel so at home and for giving me such peace of mind!”
“Always a pleasure to leave my dogs with Victoria. She loves to take the dogs for long walks, and is very attuned to their needs. The older/senior dog gets special treatment. Thanks for taking such good care of my two huskies.”

“Rosalie was very kind to our senior dog, Bob. She has a lovely, clean home with a private, enclosed back yard for him to roam around. I would hire her again and recommend her to others.”
“Cristian went above and beyond to make sure i felt 100% comfortable while i was boarding my pit mix Nala for 11 days for the first time. Nala even sadly got a pretty severe UTI during her stay and Cristian was so on top of it with photos, concern, and ended up even taking her to the vet for me and getting the care she needed. Even with a 6hr time change he managed to keep up with great communication and updates throughout the stay. I truly couldn’t be happier with my experience. He will definitely be my top choice in the future - no question. Thank you endlessly Cristian!”
