“My dogs were so well taken care of! I couldn’t be happier with Amber and her family. She treated them so nicely and I loved the pics of them she provided throughout the week. I knew they were in good hands. I highly recommend her! ?”
“Mira absolutely loved her stay with them. They were very welcoming and answered any questions that we had. They provided steady updates/pictures and were understanding of the fact that she’s a puppy and still learning. We would 100% recommend them to anyone!”
“This was my first time using the app, and it was a bit of a last-minute booking. We have a large puppy, so I was nervous about how he would do without us. Mariah made me feel completely reassured that he was in great hands. He came home tired—I could tell he was well loved and played with a ton, judging by his long nap afterwards. I’m so appreciative of knowing our big baby was in great care while we were out of state.”
“Hannah was great! Easy to book with and was very accommodating to our dogs' needs and allowed time for adjustment. I had no concerns at all that our dogs weren't perfectly cared for while with her! She sent photos and updates regularly to ensure me that everything was going well. Will definitely reach out the next time we need to board our dogs.”
“We loved our experience “boarding” our dog with Michelle! We absolutely plan to book in the future! Michelle provided updates and many extras that are not included elsewhere! We feel that the care Sulley received was incredible!”

“She arrived a little early so we could go over Ollie’s routine and instructions, which I really appreciated. She was also very friendly, polite, and easy to talk to. She followed instructions, such as giving Ollie his enrichment toy and taking him outside. During the visit, there was an accident in the playpen that was not communicated to me and wasn’t fully cleaned up, and I also noticed Ollie’s water dish was empty. I appreciated her kindness and willingness to help, but I would have liked clearer communication about how the visit went. That said, she was good with Ollie and he really liked her.”

About: (Disclaimer…We are licensed, if any sitter on this platform is not they are operating illegally and there is no way to insure your pup is being cared for appropriately) CHECK US OUT ON FACEBOOK “Happy pups stay with us” This isn’t a side job, this is my life! Your pup isn’t left alone. I am home all day everyday for your pup to have a happy stay while you’re away! I am passionate about Pups and want your fur baby to have as close to home experiences as they can while there here. They will have water and food 24/7. Frequent potty breaks. Most importantly non-stressful environment. I’ve worked at kennels and most dogs are scared, it’s loud, they are caged for 95% of there stay, with very few/short potty break and left unattended. This is not what I would want for my pups and I’m here for yours to not have to have this experience either. I do have two fur baby’s of my own who will be there to be your pets best friend while your away (fun.loving Husky/Gentle Great Pyrenees ). I want to make a place you know when there here there family! In the event they do not fancy my pups there is no need to worry I have accommodations for this too! Please give me a call with any questions or concerns you may have. I know how special your pet is to you as mine are my baby’s and I want to have a place for you to feel they are getting the care they deserve! Get up at 6am potty and feed. Fed again around 3:30pm or I can follow any instructions on feeding you prefer. Around 8:30pm we are in for the night. We play all day. I care for your pets the same as I do my own. They are allowed on furniture and are spoiled with love and affection. We have a 60’x25’ oasis for pups that do not want to interact with the others and need separate living quarters while they stay. We are still very much around as it is part of the home and we hang out there a lot. There a door that opens up right to the fenced area where they go on potty breaks and have fun outdoors completely enclosed and the other won’t be allowed out while they are out. There’s always a tv on and I will have it on the dog channel for them. Theirs is beds for them to lay on and plenty of space to run and play. Best case they do all become best pup friends well they will have the run of the house and play a lot! All pups must have up to date rabies vaccination with proof prior to their stay. This is for the safety of your pup and others and is also required by law. As I said before this isn’t a side job we are a fully established in home boarding/daycare pup paradise! I want to stress that because I’m not just someone who thought I like dogs, let me sign up and watch them. It takes yrs of experience to understand these amazing companions and how to care for them when placed in unfamiliar environment. We want them to thrive, because so comfortable they can’t wait to come back. Enjoy there stay so they have happy memories forever. Yes we all have pups but when placing them in an environment they are not used to, I know I would only allow someone fully knowledgeable of all aspects to ever watch my pup. Happy Pups Stay with Us…look us up, your pup will thank you for it! Someone is home all the time so your pup is never left alone. I offer drop off at 6am which is if your just dropping off. I have a family and to avoid them being disturbed you will only be able to drop off this early, not come in. If you’d like to come in it will have to be later in the day. Pick up: latest is 9pm unles otherwise confirmed. If you need earlier drop off you will have to schedule the night before. I have 2 fence in portions of the yard. Pups are never crated they live with us just like they are part of the family. I do have more than one dog staying at a time rover does not have an option to change this which I previously only took one client. I only take on dogs who are friendly with others and friendly with my children.
“Whitney's an absolutely pro. Our dog is not easy -- she pulls like crazy, is reactive to other dogs, doesn't like children, and tries to lunge for squirrels whenever possible. Needless to say I was very nervous about handing the leash over to someone new. But Whitney managed it all with positivity and professionalism. She patiently learned about our dog's issues and weathered the storm. Thank you!!”
About: Love animals. I’ve had german shepherds my whole life. Would love to assist in caring for other animals. I have trained all my dogs. They are very well behaved and dogs love me. Never had a dog that doesn’t. I am very flexible with my hours to take care you your furry friend while you are away. I can update you with photos or videos of your fur baby while you are away. They will get fun time outside. I have a nice yard for them to enjoy while you’re away. I can give them any kind of food or treats you would want or that they need. You can provide a list of things they need for the day and I can take care of that.

“My dogs were so well taken care of! I couldn’t be happier with Amber and her family. She treated them so nicely and I loved the pics of them she provided throughout the week. I knew they were in good hands. I highly recommend her! ?”
“Mira absolutely loved her stay with them. They were very welcoming and answered any questions that we had. They provided steady updates/pictures and were understanding of the fact that she’s a puppy and still learning. We would 100% recommend them to anyone!”
“This was my first time using the app, and it was a bit of a last-minute booking. We have a large puppy, so I was nervous about how he would do without us. Mariah made me feel completely reassured that he was in great hands. He came home tired—I could tell he was well loved and played with a ton, judging by his long nap afterwards. I’m so appreciative of knowing our big baby was in great care while we were out of state.”
“Hannah was great! Easy to book with and was very accommodating to our dogs' needs and allowed time for adjustment. I had no concerns at all that our dogs weren't perfectly cared for while with her! She sent photos and updates regularly to ensure me that everything was going well. Will definitely reach out the next time we need to board our dogs.”
“We loved our experience “boarding” our dog with Michelle! We absolutely plan to book in the future! Michelle provided updates and many extras that are not included elsewhere! We feel that the care Sulley received was incredible!”

About: I say I have 10 years of pet care experience just based off of having my own dog and dog sitting other dogs. I have worked in an animal shelter in the past as well. I also had rescued a pitbull boxer who we had recently had to put down. I also have a 10 month old lab puppy, and 2 cats! I would love to have her to have someone to play with at home every once in a while. I will only be working possibly 15 to 20 hours a week at my other job. Possibly less if I have more clients with pets to watch. So I’m gonna try to keep my hours per day that I work to five hours so then I can try to be at home with the dogs a lot more. I would like to try to be outside playing or going on walks. Also cleaning up after the dog outside and or if they have an accident in the house.
