“This is the first time we have ever boarded a fur baby in someone’s home. We were very nervous. Our dog has stitches and needed meds during his stay and Karin was able to accommodate his needs! She was also awesome at sending us pictures and updates. It was great seeing him having fun! We will definitely be using her again! We will even do some doggy daycare since our dogs are besties now!”

“Brendan was great - perfect fit for Crosley. Very communicative and I knew him and his kids cared for Crosley while we were gone! 100% recommend and will use him in the future”

Norman had a great time playing with their 2 dogs and they truly treated him as their own. It was such a blessing to find them and have piece of mind that he was in good hands so we could enjoy our vacation and not have to worry. We will be using them again for ALL our dog sitting needs. Thank you guys so much!!!!!”

“Aparajita accepted a last minute request for boarding and took amazing care of Sugar. She kept us informed about how Sugar was doing daily with photos and videos.

“Our kitties were perfectly happy and content when we got back. It is such a relief that we can leave them in their home environment because of the trusted care she provides.”

“Lynn (Bonita) was absolutely amazing in her care of our kitten and older cat. She was so attentive to them and provided wonderful updates daily. We were a bit apprehensive about leaving for a week, but both Ken and Poppy were happy and healthy when we returned. I really appreciate the time Lynn took to give attention to both cats individually - Ken was so comfortable with her, he allowed belly-rubs! I definitely recommend Lynn to care for your pets!

“Biscuit had a great first ever day of dog daycare with Tim and Kasia! We got a couple of short videos of playtime and reassurance that she was doing well. Tim and Kasia also were very generous with their time when we visited beforehand and answered all of our questions. They have been very trustworthy and we will be back!”

About: I own and care for a 3 year-old medium goldendoodle. He is energetic and always ready to play with any dog or human around. I have 2 years of dog training experience, including basic obedience training, and basic trick training. I grew up with a Brittany, so I am very familiar with the personalities and instincts of hunting breeds as well. I stay at home with my one year old son, so I am available during the week days, and for extended stays/overnight boarding. We would love to care for your dog! I have a fenced in yard for the dogs to run. I will provide your dog’s food and any medicines or care routines on your provided schedule, to maintain your dog’s familiar routine while in a new environment. I am flexible with your dog’s preferred sleeping arrangements— I have a large crate and a medium sized crate available if your dog is a crate sleeper, but my dog is allowed on furniture, so I will provide whatever your dog prefers. Family-friendly, non-aggressive, fairly sociable dogs are preferred, no age preferences or restrictions. My toddler LOVES dogs and will certainly run up to hug or pet the dog.
“Aparajita was absolutely wonderful! This was a last-minute booking, and she was incredibly responsive, kind, and accommodating. She was so sweet with Dexter and clearly made him feel loved and comfortable right away. She kept us updated with so many fun photos and videos of Dexter playing and having a great time with her two bigger dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear he was having an amazing time and was being cared for like one of her own. We are so grateful for her excellent communication, flexibility, and loving care. We highly recommend Aparajita to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”

About: I have experience taking care of friends' dogs and my own dog, giving her oral medications and in food, walking them among others. I enjoy the experience a lot, to be able to meet new pets and their owners. I work from home, so I am available during the day to give your doggie attention, take your dog for a walk, feed and of course give your doggie a lot of love. I know very well what it's like to be away from your beloved doggie and how much you miss them when they're not by your side. That's why I assure you of frequent, daily updates on your doggie so you can have peace of mind knowing how they are and what they're doing each day. Being home all day allows me to guarantee that your doggie will always be accompanied and well cared for. They will be able to go outside to pee frequently, will have their meals on time, and will get their daily walk if they enjoy physical activity. I always keep a close eye on the dogs I'm caring for and always take them outside on a leash. If your dog takes any oral medication or vitamins, please feel free to bring them so I can administer them. Just send me the instructions in writing before the day you drop them off. If your dog has any favorite toys, treats, or long-lasting chews that they're used to having, it would be great if you brought them so they feel even happier. My priority is that your doggie feels comfortable and happy, and they will receive plenty of belly rubs and love.
“Our dog, Monty, really enjoyed his stay and obviously bonded with the care providers and other members of the pack. The daily pictures and updates were very much appreciated. We are fortunate to have found you. Thank you!”

About: Hi, I’m Courtney! Your dog’s new dependable best friend. With 15 years of experience working with animals, I bring a calm, confident, and caring approach to every visit. I’m comfortable with all breeds, all sizes, and all personalities — from shy seniors to energetic puppies. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have dogs and guinea pigs at home, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and understood while keeping you updated every step of the way. Pet care is naturally built into my weekly routine. I plan my schedule around my drop-ins and walks to make sure every pet gets consistent, on-time care. I check in throughout the day, send updates, and make sure each visit has my full attention. On my days off, I’m even more flexible and can offer extra visit times. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine, make sure their needs are met, keep their space clean, and give them plenty of attention. I provide calm, consistent care and always send updates each visit.
“Catherine and Hubby are a wonderful team. They both love animals and they take such good care of my fur baby, just like she's their own. If you need care I highly recommend THEM!”

“As a first time user of Rover we were a little nervous but Kristin was great answering our questions and caring for our puppy for the day. He went on multiple walks, the photos were nice, and knowing he was with people and not by himself for the day was the best. He slept like a baby that night too which we appreciated! Thank you!!”

“Erin did great at taking care of my puppy! I had an odd situation where I was traveling from out of state, and she was more than helpful in accommodating my needs for an anxious pup.”


About: After a lifetime in the equine boarding and training industry I've settled into the small animal/ dog training and sitting lifestyle. With 1 amazing dog of my own (and occasional foster kiddos) we welcome all dog friendly breeds, sizes and tempermants of pets into our loving home. My life and work revolves around my animals and those in my care. Not only am I available for special needs pets but any life stage or temperment animal. We frequently hike, walk and train. We are a home with structure suited for any tempermant or energy level of dog. I have one pet friendly, well trained German shepherd in my home as well as the occasional foster pup. We have a small but quaint fenced in back yard, multiple large crates if needed for your pup and spare rooms to keep them separated if necessary. I do not leave treats, toys or food out with multiple animals without supervision.
“Parisa took great care of my German Shepard. She provided plenty of exercise for him in her shaded backyard. He came home worn out every day which tells me that he had a great day with her. She also provided daily photos and updates via text. She is friendly and loved our dog while he was in her care.”

About: I have been taking care of animals since i was a child. From neighborhood walks to training and of course love and care is always at the top of my list. I currently don’t have a job so i can focus on around the clock care for your furry friends. And have no problem with that. I have a fenced in yard and have 2 other dogs to keep your baby company. i also have crates and space to separate them if needed.
About: I have always had a dog in my life, which has given me a lifelong love for caring for animals. I enjoy playing with dogs, taking them on walks, and making sure they feel happy and comfortable. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog like family, not just as a job. I make sure their needs are met and that they feel safe, loved, and cared for at all times. I am also very patient with shy or nervous dogs and take the time to help them feel comfortable and build trust. I plan on dog sitting/ walking during all my breaks from school. I am free everyday during those breaks. The only thing that would get in my way is volleyball practices, but these are only 2 hours and not a daily thing. I make sure the pet feels comfortable around me and welcomes me into their house. If the pet is at my house I will also be welcoming and make sure they adapt to the environment.
About: I grew up with animals and as a parent now love to share my love of animals With my children. I am Flexible and willing to be as accommodating as I possibly can for all the pet owners seeking assistance with their pets. I do this because I know how scary it can be leaving your pet somewhere and not knowing. I also know how scary it can be to leave your pet while you are away. I do my best to stay in contact with all my clients and offer plenty of photos. I am very versatile and have experience with a lot of different pets. I am active and love bringing the pets I care for along with me for walks or out around town (as long as the clients are comfortable) I want their experience in my home and with me to mimic their normal every day routine in their home. I feel that lessens their anxiety. It’s incorporated into my daily as I make adjustments. Normally if I need to go somewhere I am sure that I understand from the owners if their pet is able to stay out or if they would prefer that their pet be put in a safe place so they don’t decide to become mischievous while I run errands. I also offer the opportunity for them to come with me if they enjoy car rides. Again what’s most important to me is keeping the pets routine as closely aligned to their normal routine at home. In order to ensure that the pets I care for are happy and healthy while in my care I am sure to get a clear understanding of how their routine normally works and I ensure that I align their routine at my house to that. This helps alleviate anxiety and fear when being in a new place.
About: I grew up with dogs around in my parents home. Then I bought my baby 8 years back, he is the love of my life. I was scared to keep him anywhere that’s when I decided there might be many parents who have the same feeling and I decided to start dog sitting. Now I have another 1.5 years old baby too I would prefer dog that needs potty breaks morning, afternoon and evenings on week days. Weekends is fine as I am home mostly except few Have a fenced yard , I have a 8 year dog and 1.5 year boys with whom they can run around in our big yard and my babied are sneaker so I am extra careful. Parents needn’t we worried at all I will keep them exactly like my fur babies !

About: My husband Jeff and I have 2 dogs and no kids. Our dogs are our kids! Our dogs are about 2 years old and get along well with other dogs. Both of us grew up with dogs and have had dogs that are both young and senior. We give our dogs lots of time and attention. We are responsible pet owners and believe in keeping them healthy, loved, safe, and part of our pack! I am retired and my husband works part-time so one of us is almost always home to care for your pet(s). If we are gone for a few hours, our dogs are caged in the house. Usually, it is if we go out for dinner or the store, so it's for short periods. If your dog does not do caging, that's ok as long as they are good! We have a large fenced yard. Our 6 foot privacy fence also has wire mesh at the bottom of the fence to make sure dogs are safe and can't get out (or other animals get in). Our dogs are about 3 years old and get along well with other dogs. They love to play and are free to move in the house and the yard, and they get regular walks. Dogs are allowed on furniture. We would love to be your pet sitter while you are away, and you can be confident your doggie will be happy, safe and loved!

I am active and love bringing the pets I care for along with me for walks or out around town (as long as the clients are comfortable) I want their experience in my home and with me to mimic their normal every day routine in their home. I feel that lessens their anxiety. It’s incorporated into my daily as I make adjustments. Normally if I need to go somewhere I am sure that I understand from the owners if their pet is able to stay out or if they would prefer that their pet be put in a safe place so they don’t decide to become mischievous while I run errands. I also offer the opportunity for them to come with me if they enjoy car rides. Again what’s most important to me is keeping the pets routine as closely aligned to their normal routine at home. In order to ensure that the pets I care for are happy and healthy while in my care I am sure to get a clear understanding of how their routine normally works and I ensure that I align their routine at my house to that. This helps alleviate anxiety and fear when being in a new place.

“Tim & Katarzyna are a lovely couple who took excellent care of our pups! We received daily updates , including pics and videos of the boys having a blast. I highly recommend them to care for your furry loved ones !”

“Aparajita accepted a last minute request for boarding and took amazing care of Sugar. She kept us informed about how Sugar was doing daily with photos and videos. It made us feel relieved knowing our pup was in such good hands while away from us. We would definitely rebook and recommend Aparajita!”

“Tara was wonderful!!! This was my first time using Rover and she was great. Tara communicated well and often and provided updates about my dogs. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my babies!”

“Our pup, Sokka, absolutely loves Ryan which is helpful since our dog has anxiety around other dogs (so kennel boarding is a very stressful experience). We really appreciate that Ryan also takes Sokka on walks and dog park visits if he's able to do so. We highly recommend Ryan for boarding!”

“Our 7yo mini goldendoodle stayed with Sabrina and her family for a week. She was happy when we picked her up and has been napping steadily since we brought her home. We did miss routine photo updates so will definitely ask for that specifically next time. Highly Recommended!”

“Amanda was great. She send updates and pictures daily. Our dog also has anxiety so it was good for her to be around people and other dogs and not crated all day. I would recommend Amanda!”

“Catherine is absolutely lovely and clearly loves dogs! My pup was welcomed as if she was one of the pack already. Catherine did an amazing job of introducing her slowly to the other dogs and took great care of Lady. Would definitely book again!!”

“Kristen was prompt in getting in touch with me about boarding my fur babies, accommodating to their needs and schedule. Kristen kept in touch with me, sending pictures, and notifying me when she had concerns with one of my senior dogs. They had great love and care, will be calling Kristen again 🐾”

“Kyri did an excellent job looking after my dog, Milky. She was very attentive and responsible, and she consistently sent me pictures and videos so I could see how he was doing. It was clear he was comfortable, well cared for, and in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and would trust her again with Milky for future boardings.”

“Catherine was very accommodating and responsive. Appreciate all her photos and text updates. Adam was a pleasure to deal with, too. Hoping to interact with them more often!”

“Kiersten provided a happy, loving, and relaxed environment for our doggo who is often anxious in boarding situations. Boo had a wonderful time playing with her other dogs and Kiersten took great care of her!! Will definitely use Kiersten again!”

“Melissa was very accommodating and helpful. She accepted and helped carry in his crate which is the safest place for him if they leave the house. She said that would only be for a short time and maybe not at all. She sent several pics of our dog playing outside , interacting inside or making himself at home on a bed. He was safe and returned home tired from all of his play/running around. I was very grateful for Melissa’s care.”

“Ashleigh & Bill were very accommodating and took excellent care of my dog. They sent updates everyday and had impeccably customer service. If i have to go out of town again i know the number one place to leave me dog. Thanks so much”

“Derik and Megan are wonderful. They took on a challenge or what I would call a challenge by caring for my little boogie baby. They treated him so well as if he was their own. They kept me updated with pictures and text. I wouldn't ask for a better dog sitter. They made us feel at ease with our baby knowing it was our first time ever boarding him. Thank you again!”

“Jennifer and her family made Cosmo feel at home and I could tell he didn’t even want to leave when it was time to get him, so they definitely loved on him plenty and gave him lots of play time. They also accommodated me on a shorter notice which was so helpful!”

“Easy to deal with and great communication. The chill atmosphere made it easy for our Mac to transition and hang for a couple days. Will DEFINITELY look to Kathleen & Dave to host Mac again.”

“My boy is a sisssyyyy and Amber went above and beyond to help him feel comfortable during his stay!! Wrapped him in my blankets, took him on plenty of (attempted) walks (my doggo’s a sissy, remember?), and offered all the cuddles and pets to keep him feeling reassured until I was back in town. The fact that she keeps it to one pet at a time was a life saver- my big baby wouldn’t do well w others. Will be using Amber over and over again! Never trying anywhere else!”

“Rachel is an incredible person. She adored my dog as if it were her own. She ensured that my dog felt at ease in a new environment. I truly appreciate her efforts and highly recommend her services.”
