“Jessica and Theodore took amazing care of our dogs while we were away, and our dogs had a great time! We loved getting daily picture updates of them while we were gone. They had lots outside play time. They came home brushed and tired. We will definitely reach out to them in the future for any future dog sitting needs. Thank you!”
“Janet was wonderful with Luna! She was caring, attentive, and made sure Luna felt comfortable and loved. The pictures she updated me with says it all. Luna looks completely at home and so happy! 🐺❤️ I really appreciated the peace of mind knowing she was in great hands. Highly recommend Janet!”
“Jaclyn and Ashleigh were positively perfect for what we needed. Our first time using the two of them was also first time we had decided to leave our two pups since we adopted our youngest in September and it could not have gone better. They were very responsive and communicative from the setup of the first introduction clear through to pick-up. They not only seemed to tolerate but actually kind of enjoy some of the decidedly quirkiness or silliness of our pair. Couldn't recommend them highly enough. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our family!”
“This was the first time I took Josie to stay with Lisa. She had so much fun and loved staying with Lisa. I knew Josie was comfortable when Lisa said she followed her everywhere.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Monica and her family while Scotch stayed with them for 10 days. From the very beginning, it was clear that Scotch was in caring and capable hands. Monica kept us updated regularly, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Scotch came back happy, relaxed, and well cared for—always the best sign of a great boarding experience. It’s evident that Monica treats every pet like part of her own family. We truly appreciate the warmth, attention, and love she provided. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Monica to anyone looking for a reliable and caring home boarding option, and we’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future. I am sure Scotch misses you Monica 😊❤️”
“Rachel and Mike provided an outstanding boarding experience for MY CAT, Fluffy. Awesome!!!! From the moment I left her in their care, I knew she was in the best hands. They consistently went above and beyond, making sure Fluffy received plenty of love, attention, and treats. What really set them apart was the thoughtful updates they provided—seeing pictures of Fluffy enjoying her stay brought us so much peace of mind. Rachel and Mike’s dedication to Fluffy’s comfort was truly remarkable. They even covered additional expenses to ensure she had everything she needed until we could settle up with them. 😉 Their genuine passion for pets is clear in every interaction, and it made a world of difference. If you’re searching for a reliable and caring pet boarding power couple, look no further than Rachel and Mike. They treated Fluffy like their own, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend them for anyone who wants the best for their furry family members!”
“I’m so glad to have found Courtney. She has been absolutely wonderful with my 2 dogs and they are always happy to see her. She takes such good care of them and keeps me posted with pictures and information on what they are up to. I’m very happy and know they are in good hands with Courtney. I can go away and not worry cause I know she is there with them. Thank you Courtney!”
“Mikaela is the absolute best!! We had a super fun and friendly meet and greet and I knew my Aussie, Nick would have a fab time. He loved her other 2 dogs and was treated like he was right at home! Mikaela was lovely to communicate with; super clear with details and sent me lots of adorable photos while I was away. Thank you Mikaela, Abby & Cecil for taking great care of my best buddy!! <3”
“Wonderful experience with Jeremy and his wife! We were so grateful to find them on short notice, and they took wonderful care of our pup. I think she was almost sad to leave she had so much fun! We will be calling them again 💗”
“Nelia and Brett took great care of my dog Abbey Raye while I was out of town. They provided me with daily pictures and she looked so happy! This is my second time leaving her with them and I highly recommend!”
“Angeline and Dave are simply the best. They watched our two dogs, Jack & Marley (11 yrs and 18 months) for 10 days. Everyday, we received a msg as to how the dogs were doing and lots of pictures of Jack & Marley. Awesomeness right?! They kept with the dogs normal schedule including walks, snacks and Jacks antibiotic he had to take. Incredibly professional experience. Jack & Marley can’t wait to go back to hang with Angeline, Dave and their Benson!”
“Great peace of mind leaving my two dogs with Samantha when a family emergency mandated I leave town suddenly. She was quick to respond and and very flexible with pick-up days/times, which I really appreciated. When I picked my pups up, they were happy and calm from all the playtime they got in Samantha's large, shady backyard. Will definitely book again with Samantha in the future!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Dana. We were hesitant to leave our new puppy with anyone, but based off her reviews we felt reasonably comfortable with her. After meeting her, and her dogs, the worries dissolved. She genuinely cares and enjoys her time with the animals. She kept in contact and sent us several updates and photos of Mila. It really helped alleviate the anxiety over leaving her with someone new. We had an overall great experience with Dana and definitely recommend her to anyone. We will be booking her again when we need to board her.”
“Debbie and Adam were wonderful! They sent lots of pictures and it seemed like our dog just had the best time. She got lots of attention! We will definitely use them again!”
“Lindsay and her family were wonderful and accommodating. They were also very flexible with my pickup time. They and their dog Murphy took great care of Sadie. I will certainly use Lindsay again to take care of Sadie next time I’m in the area. I highly recommend.”
“Madyson was excellent with my dog Copper! His stay with her and Sparky involved lots of play time, cuddles, and great communication with us! Madyson is very attentive with any needs Copper has. I would highly recommend her!”

About: I have a lifetime of experience with dogs. I’ve raised my current pup (15.5 years) since he was a tiny little 3 month old. As such, I also have experience with senior care and giving medications. I currently do not work and am home for the majority of the day. Potty breaks and meals can be as often as necessary or as needed. I can literally set my schedule around your pets. I have two fenced in yards for pottying and ample play time. The main home is one floor, stairs are not necessary for seniors. I have one senior dog who enjoys sleeping all day. I also have children to provide extra snuggles and exercise. Even our neighbors enjoy handing out treats (with your permission, of course!)
“Janet is an amazing dog care provider!! She genuinely love my dog like her own, and is very affectionate and attentive to him. She has been very flexible and accommodating when my schedule changes, and always has a positive disposition. She has proven 100% reliable and I am so grateful my dog and I have had the pleasure of getting to know her and her family.”
“Cassandra and her family are great. We felt immediately at ease dropping off our 8month old Lab, which was wonderful since it was our first time using rover. She seemed to have a clear understanding of puppy behavior and asked questions about our preferences and how we do things at home. Additionally, her home was very tidy which is important to us as it reassured us that our puppy would be safe in the environment. Our Charlie girl came home well cared for and sleepy. We really enjoyed meeting Cassandra and look forward to more visits with her!”
About: Hi! I’m Brittni! I’m fortunate to have the ability to work from home often, which means your pets get lots of company and attention throughout the day! I’m also a proud fur-mom with years of experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Whether your crew includes a tiny Frenchie, a giant Great Dane, a cuddly cat, a curious ferret, or a feathered chatterbox, I’ve probably loved on one before! Size, breed, or the number of pets in your family doesn’t scare me—I believe the more paws, the merrier! Need someone who can give medications, keep up with special care routines, or convince your stubborn pup that going outside is actually a great idea? I’ve got you covered. I’m comfortable caring for pets with special needs and always take the time to learn exactly what makes each pet happy, healthy, and comfortable. I know leaving your pets behind can be stressful. After all, they’re family—not “just pets.” That’s why I care for every furry, feathered, or scaly friend as if they were my own. Whether they love long walks, endless games of fetch, snuggling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby while they nap, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your amazing crew. Let’s make your next trip worry-free—and maybe earn a few tail wags, happy purrs, and the occasional zoomies along the way! *** Depending on my work schedule, pick up/drop off’s during the week are available after 5:30p. At times, If I am working from home, I may be able to accommodate earlier. During the weekends, for the most part I am flexible for AM/PM pick up/drop off’s. I have the ability to work from home during the week, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, care and companionship throughout the day. After work, and during weekends are usually very flexible for me. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I do have a long leash so your pet can enjoy safe outdoor time, in addition to regular walks if you’d like. In my home, in addition to my husband, I have two Frenchies, one chocolate lab, and a cat (who mainly keeps to himself), as well as children who love animals and help provide plenty of companionship for your fur-baby.
About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including puppies, senior pets and animals with unique care needs. My experience includes daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, administering oral medications, basic grooming, and reinforcing training routines. I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort and happiness while providing photo messages, videos and updates so you can have peace of mind. Every pet receives personalized care based on their personality and routine. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable, attentive care throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, so I’m available for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime and plenty of companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, meditations (if needed) and any special requests.

“It was our first time using Rover and Lindsey was an excellent companion and dog walker for our pit bull mix! Her report after each visit was thorough and usually included an extra anecdote about their time together and great pictures! Lindsey very concerned and asked for our advice when our dog wasn't eating much food when we initially left. We appreciated her initiative. When there was a big rain storm and they couldn't walk outside, Lindsey spent the time playing with our dog inside and gave him the attention and exercise that he needed. Overall a great experience and highly recommend Lindsey!”

“Jessica and Theodore took amazing care of our dogs while we were away, and our dogs had a great time! We loved getting daily picture updates of them while we were gone. They had lots outside play time. They came home brushed and tired. We will definitely reach out to them in the future for any future dog sitting needs. Thank you!”
“Janet was wonderful with Luna! She was caring, attentive, and made sure Luna felt comfortable and loved. The pictures she updated me with says it all. Luna looks completely at home and so happy! 🐺❤️ I really appreciated the peace of mind knowing she was in great hands. Highly recommend Janet!”
“Jaclyn and Ashleigh were positively perfect for what we needed. Our first time using the two of them was also first time we had decided to leave our two pups since we adopted our youngest in September and it could not have gone better. They were very responsive and communicative from the setup of the first introduction clear through to pick-up. They not only seemed to tolerate but actually kind of enjoy some of the decidedly quirkiness or silliness of our pair. Couldn't recommend them highly enough. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our family!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Monica and her family while Scotch stayed with them for 10 days. From the very beginning, it was clear that Scotch was in caring and capable hands. Monica kept us updated regularly, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Scotch came back happy, relaxed, and well cared for—always the best sign of a great boarding experience. It’s evident that Monica treats every pet like part of her own family. We truly appreciate the warmth, attention, and love she provided. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Monica to anyone looking for a reliable and caring home boarding option, and we’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future. I am sure Scotch misses you Monica 😊❤️”

Mikaela was lovely to communicate with; super clear with details and sent me lots of adorable photos while I was away. Thank you Mikaela, Abby & Cecil for taking great care of my best buddy!! <3”
“Wonderful experience with Jeremy and his wife! We were so grateful to find them on short notice, and they took wonderful care of our pup. I think she was almost sad to leave she had so much fun! We will be calling them again 💗”

“Lindsay and her family were wonderful and accommodating. They were also very flexible with my pickup time. They and their dog Murphy took great care of Sadie. I will certainly use Lindsay again to take care of Sadie next time I’m in the area. I highly recommend.”
“Madyson was excellent with my dog Copper! His stay with her and Sparky involved lots of play time, cuddles, and great communication with us! Madyson is very attentive with any needs Copper has. I would highly recommend her!”
“Victoria was excellent with Partner and Frenzy. We were a little nervous leaving them for our vacation, as it’s the longest we’ve ever been apart and Partner had just managed to injure his paw right before we left. Victoria kept us updated every day on how they were doing as well as Partner’s condition. She even took him to the vet to ensure his injury didn’t get infected! To say she goes above and beyond is an understatement, she is the best. Don’t think twice about booking her for your dogs.”
“Cassandra was a great sitter! She sent me daily updates with photos every day, which I truly appreciated. Everyone in her family showered Bowie with love and playtime while I was away on a trip. She was very attentive and communicative. I will definitely contact her whenever Bowie needs a sitter. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“Michelle and her family are fantastic! This was our first time using Rover and Michelle completely put our mind at ease. After two back to back stays our girl Savannah was beyond happy. She adores Michelle and her family and really enjoys her time there. So much room to run and play and the comfort of being in a home and getting lots of love and attention. Michelle sent us updates and pictures during her stay showing how well Savannah was doing and all the fun she was having! As long as Michelle and her family will have her I don’t think we will ever go back to the kennel.”
About: I have a lifetime of experience with dogs. I’ve raised my current pup (15.5 years) since he was a tiny little 3 month old. As such, I also have experience with senior care and giving medications. I currently do not work and am home for the majority of the day. Potty breaks and meals can be as often as necessary or as needed. I can literally set my schedule around your pets. I have two fenced in yards for pottying and ample play time. The main home is one floor, stairs are not necessary for seniors. I have one senior dog who enjoys sleeping all day. I also have children to provide extra snuggles and exercise. Even our neighbors enjoy handing out treats (with your permission, of course!)
“Romeo had the best time! This was the first time that I have left him anywhere, so I was apprehensive. Joni was definitely the best choice. Her pups welcomed him right in and he was a part of the pack immediately. He was so well cared for and loved, and I could tell he was happy the whole time. I got sweet updates and photos, and it felt like he was part of the family. Highly recommend!”
“This was a great experience for our dog Lily, and therefore for us as well. This was our first time leaving our 3 year old golden, so we were a little apprehensive until we met Ashley and her 2 great dogs. We were gone for over a week and we never worried about our dog; we knew she was a good hands and getting lots of attention and great care. Ashley sent us pictures, videos, and updates. This was the first time Lily really had extended play with other dogs plus Ashley's kids; it was clear our dog was happy, safe, and probably didn't want to leave :-) Couldn't have asked for better care or a better experience. We highly recommend Ashley and hope to use her again soon!”
“Emily and Patrick were wonderful! From the beginning, they were asking thoughtful questions about Ruby's needs, routine, and personality. Their dog, Eli, became a new fur friend to our pup, Ruby and the photos and videos they shared while we were away gave us peace of mind. They were also accommodating as we had to change our drop off and pick up times. We will definitely be booking them again!”
