Highly-rated overnight sitters - Springfield
“Juliana and her family embraced Aiden like one of their own. He was surrounded by love, constant attention, and she went above and beyond to make us feel secure and kept him safe. She kept in constant contact throughout the day with photo updates as well. I will work with Juliana EVERY single time as there is no one better who will value and love your pup as much she does!”
“Alexandra and family are always wonderful to my baby boy! But this time they go above and beyond! We left for a week. And unfortunately, he ran out of food. Alexandra and family cooked him homemade food, like I did with him! Just exceptional!!!”
“Rachel was fantastic! Bean, who can be a little nervous at first, warmed up to her immediately. Rachel was very communicative and send lots of photos - it looked like they had a great weekend! Will definitely use her again!”
“Patty is godsend! She will love (and slightly spoil) your dog like it’s her very own. Patty kept us up-to-date multiple times a day with messages and photos. She cared for our dog the way we would, simply an Angel. Thank you Patty and Vin for opening your home and heart to our Sully!”
“David took such good care of my dog this past weekend, when I brought Knuckles home he cried as if he missed him . David sent daily photos which made me so much more comfortable knowing that my dog was happy. I will definitely be a returning client.”
“Khaing was a great, flexible and accommodating sitter. She provided periodic photos updates of Tito while he was in her care. Khaing was communicative and very loving. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Tamikia did an amazing job taking care of my pup while I was gone! She provided lots of pictures/updates and made me feel at ease. I would definitely book with her again :)”
“This was my first time leaving my dog, Aldo, for such a long period, so I was honestly a bit nervous at first. The first couple of days were the hardest for me, and I found myself checking in often. Donte was very understanding and kept me updated, which really helped. After the first few days, I started receiving regular videos, pictures, and even video calls, and that made a huge difference. I could see Aldo was not just okay, he was actually having a great time. He’s normally the only dog at home, but during his stay, he had other dogs to interact with and played and enjoyed himself. It honestly felt like he was the one on vacation, not me. Aldo is a 12-year-old senior dog and can be a picky eater, so I was concerned about how he would adjust. Donte was very patient with him and made sure he was comfortable. When I picked him up, Aldo was completely himself, calm, normal, and clearly well taken care of. That meant a lot to me. I also really appreciated the home environment. There were always people around, which helped Aldo feel more at ease since he’s used to that at home. Overall, I’m very grateful for the care and attention Aldo received. You can tell Donte genuinely cares about the dogs he watches. I would definitely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Michell was absolutely fabulous! I would send my dog back there in a heartbeat. She came home so happy and well fed. She clearly loves being with Michell. It’s a gift to find someone you’re comfortable leaving your dog with. Highly recommended!!”
“Bryce was fantastic! Teddy loved being there and will still try to go into the house any time we walk past, which I take as a great sign! Will 100% be booking again when needed.”
“My French bulldog just spent 2 nights with Dana and Max-and he had a wonderful time! He also has a polyp which means wiping after popping-which was handled with care. We will be a steady, repeat customers!!”
“Rhea and her husband took excellent care of my dog Benny. She sent updates/photos so I knew how he was doing and could have peace of mind knowing that he was being treated so well and was happy staying with them!”
“Juliana did an awesome job! She was the first sitter for our puppy and we could not be happier with how things went. We will definitely work with her again. She kept us up to date on her activities and kept our little one on schedule and busy. 💕”
“George watched our dog over Thanksgiving. He was very responsive leading up to and during the stay. He sent us pictures of her during having a great time. He took her on lots of walks and she seemed well cared for. When we picked her up she was so happy and pumped in a way she typically only is after she has had lots of fun. Will definitely use again and would recommend!”
“Absolutely amazing! This the first time I left my dog since rescuing him and his anxiety gave me anxiety 😅. Kristina was great she answered all my questions, she was so kind when I asked stupid ones. She kept my dog safe and happy. She also works with reactive dogs great! Would recommend! Can't say it enough she is amazing!”
“Jacqueline was wonderful. She was very sweet and attentive with my senior fur baby. Jackie understood that I was a nervous mommy, since this was my first time leaving Guennie with anyone outside a family member, and made sure to update me on Guennie, including sending photos and videos. The communication was great. Jacqueline made both of us feel comfortable and at ease. I will definitely use her again to watch my fur baby. Thank you, Jacqueline for taking such great care of Guennie.”
“Diana was amazing with our pups. It was such a last minute need when we found out my mom had Covid and couldn’t watch our 2 dogs for Memorial Day weekend. Diana was right there. She took them in, cared for them, took pictures and asked essential questions. The pups were happy and healthy when picked up and clearly had a great weekend. We are so grateful for her and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“We are thankful for Christine loving on our pup Rex for a short last minute stay this weekend. We were able to rest assured that he was well taken care of while we enjoyed time with our daughter in college.”
“We had a great experience boarding with Leah. We arranged a meet and greet prior which was helpful for me and my husband and probably our dog Maggie. Leah was a good communicator and flexible. I feel like she took good care of Maggie and that her dogs were good companions and helped Maggie pass the time playing. I’m not sure our dog missed us at all. Thank you Leah and family.”

It really left our minds at ease that someone was there to check on them twice a day! Thank you for everything and can’t wait until the next time!”
“This was our first time working with Raquel, and it went very well. She stopped by to spend an hour with our two dogs, Tate and Penny, well also feeding them and giving them lots of love. Raquel was very good communicator, was on time, and provided photographs of her time with our dogs. We are really excited that we found Raquel and look forward to having her spend more time with our dogs, Tate and Penny in the future. If anyone’s looking for a five star Pet Sitter on Rover Raquel‘s your gal!”
“Jacqueline is amazing with our babies! They love her so much and she takes such good care of them every single time she's here. They love her and we love her and she's a freaking rockstar!”
“It was our first time leaving, Daphne, our cat alone for a weekend and we were apprehensive in leaving her with a sitter. Patricia took the time to come to our house and meet Daphne. When it came time to leave for our trip Patricia made sure to send us a whole bunch of pictures of her and Daphne playing and having a good time. Patricia made our first experience using Rover effortless and made us feel comfortable while we enjoyed our weekend. We will be sure to check if Patricia is available next time we book a trip.”
“Nicole was easy to work with and very accommodating after my lack of planning left us without care for our cat at the end of our 2 week vacation. She worked around my schedule to come meet before we left and gave updates while she was with our Dory.”
“Briana was great keeping in touch with us via photos of our cats. It made us smile each day to see their faces. Briana is a very relatable cat sitter and we would request her again.”
“This was our first experience using Rover, after meeting Sarah we knew our cat Oliver was going to be in great hands. She responded quickly, provided updates, and sent a few pictures during her drop-in visit with Oliver. He looked very happy to be getting some pets and a little play time in. We will definitely be booking with Sarah again!”
“Tamikia did a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we were away. She came at the scheduled time and did all that was asked of her and more.

“Meghan checked in on my kitten and I am a first timer here. From start to finish, she was a pro. She sent me photos of my kitten corresponded with me and showed her love. Definitely using this again and highly recommend Meghan!”
“Juliana did an excellent job watching our two kittens, and we were especially grateful that she was available during the holidays. When they had the zoomies and somehow managed to disconnect the internet while we were away, she handled it right away and even remembered to plug the router back in without any issues. She was also great about taking care of any other requests we had. Most importantly, she was really sweet and attentive with our girls, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. We would absolutely hire her again in the future.”
“Mike is really awesome! He took great care of our cats, even the one who is afraid of people, and he also fed our fish! We loved all the pictures and video he sent us while we were away. We will definitely look for Mike next time we need someone to check on our kitties”
“Andrea was a fantastic cat sitter! She provided high-quality care for my two special-needs cats, including administering twice-daily nose drops with patience and care. She was communicative, kind, and took the time to learn their routines, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!”
“Carol was so lovely to work with! She gave great updates and was very communicative. My fluffy boy was so soft from all the brushes. Thank you for caring for our boys!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Springfield
“Rachel was fantastic! My daughter and I were touring colleges in the area and needed a place for our dog during the tours. Jiminy was spoiled with cuddles and he definitely had a great time!”
About: I’ve been a pet owner/parent since I was a child. I’ve owned Pugs, Frenchies, Rotties, Great Danes and even mixed breeds from puppies to seniors. This has given me the knowledge to understand that all pups are different and may need different attention depending on their stage of life, but rest assured all pups will receive safe, reliable and loving care. At this time caring for your pet is my only job so I’ll have plenty of time to play with and care for your pups! I’m available for boarding with a drop off window between 9:30am and 7:30pm weekdays, with the exception of 5:30-6pm which is typically when I like to feed the pups unless instructed otherwise. I like to allow about an hour and a half of rest after eating for proper digestion before any playtime. Checkout should be no later than 10:00am, or you will be charged the daycare fee for that day and your pet must be picked up by 6pm.. On weekends drop off times are after 2pm but there may be an opportunity for some flexibility that can be discussed if an earlier time is needed. Daycare hours will run 8:30am to 6pm Monday to Friday. “PLEASE NOTE” that all pets must be up to date with shots and flea and tick meds for daycare and boarding. Proof will be required. Your pets safety is very important to me which is why I require dog friendly pets only and no puppies under 5 months. If you are unsure of how your pet will handle boarding I suggest trying a couple days of daycare to get them adjusted. At no time will your pet ever be left alone in the yard or unattended in my home. If something comes up and I need to run an errand, your pet will be crated/pen for safety. I have central air to keep the pets cool and if your pup feels a bit overwhelmed at first while boarding by my resident dogs, I can offer separation if needed.
About: My care is built on a foundation of genuine love and focused attention. I believe every pet deserves days brimming with joy and comfort. Whether it’s matching a puppy‘s energy or soothing an older companion, I am dedicated to providing the personalized, tender care that sets me apart. My schedule is intentionally flexible to provide the best possible care for your pet. This means our days can be tailored entirely to your companion's unique needs and normal routine. Whether it's matching morning walk times, sticking to specific meal schedules, or accommodating plenty of play and cuddle breaks, I adapt seamlessly. I work from home, allowing me to offer generous company and attentive supervision throughout the day. You can expect regular photo updates and peace of mind, knowing your pet is receiving consistent, loving attention. My single-family home offers a secure and peaceful haven for your pet. The highlight is a fully fenced backyard, serving as a safe, private playground for leashed-free exercise and fresh air—always under my attentive supervision. Indoors, your companion will enjoy a calm, clean, and pet-friendly space dedicated to their comfort. Every guest receives my focused care and companionship, ensuring their stay is not only safe but truly enjoyable and tailored to their needs.
“Donte was great with Blue. He really helped us out with a last-minute weekend daycare booking, and Blue was very excited to go back. We received photos and videos during his visits and we will definitely look to Donte for future daycare visits.”
About: A lover of animals of all sorts, I've rescued and cared for cats of my own for over 40 years. My family had dogs including a Beagle and a Lhasa Poo while I was growing up, and I'm the one who always says, "Can I say hi?!" when I see someone out walking their dog. I volunteered at Main Line Animal Rescue, Providence Animal Rescue, and pet store based cat rescues and have received dog handling and walking training. I am equipped and eager to provide your pets with quality time and care. I have groomed cats, walked the big dogs, and cleaned bunny litter. Clients, friends, and co-workers have been happy with my services and I enjoy connecting my work with one of my passions. If you scroll my photos, I admit I haven't cared for alpacas. But I'd love to learn how! I'd be happy to make your getaways, vacations, or travel for work less stressful for you by caring for your pets and home. I'm happy to give updates throughout visits, including photos or videos, and will send regular reports on food and treats, litter or potty time, and general behavior. My schedule is flexible. Just let me know your needs and I'll do my best to make it work. Book ahead for your summer and fall travel plans! Taking care of your pets in your home is a responsibility and a privilege, allowing your pets to have their safe spaces and comforts while you're away. If house-sitting or dropping in for care or walks, I'll follow your suggestions and directions to deliver the best possible care. I am mature, responsible, and experienced, so you can feel confident in my reliability.
“I had a wonderful experience with Saya and David while they cared for my miniature dachshund, Astro, for 3 days of daycare. Even before meeting him, they took the time to ask thoughtful questions to make sure they understood his routine, personality, and needs. Throughout his stay, they were incredibly communicative, sending photos and videos that gave me peace of mind and showed just how much fun he was having. It was clear that Astro received plenty of attention, affection, and excellent care (by the second morning, he ran right into their house because he was so excited to see them again)! They were also very flexible and accommodating with drop-off and pick-up times, which made everything convenient around my work schedule. I truly felt that Astro was treated like part of their family. I highly recommend Saya and David to anyone looking for caring and reliable dog sitters, and I will absolutely be booking with them again!”
“Christopher is the best dog sitter I have had on Rover! He send me lots of picture throughout the day and work on Ben’s training. I feel so confident leaving my dog Ben with him and knowing that he is gonna have a fun day!”
“Shelby was great. She communicated in advance when we needed to work out our schedule and we could very easily tell that our puppy was getting great care and having a blast! I would definitely recommend her and book her again.”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of experience, especially with large breeds, reactive dogs, and pups with special needs. I’ve worked with shelter dogs and understand how to care for animals that need a little extra patience, structure, or medical support. I currently live with a rambunctious lab and two curious cats, so I’m very used to a lively, pet-filled home. Whether your dog is staying for daycare, boarding overnight, or just dropping by for a walk, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. My home is pet-friendly with a fully fenced-in backyard—perfect for playtime and potty breaks. I also have experience administering medications, including for pets with ongoing health needs, and I’m comfortable accommodating special diets or routines. I truly enjoy walking and believe it’s more than just a potty break—it’s a chance for dogs to stretch their legs, explore, and get some fresh air and stimulation. I tailor each walk to your dog’s pace and energy level, whether they’re a slow sniffer or an energetic explorer. I’m happy to work with most dogs and want to provide the best possible care. Just let me know about any behaviors or needs in advance so I can be fully prepared. I look forward to meeting your furry family and making them feel right at home! I work from home, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s letting them out for frequent potty breaks, enjoying playtime in the backyard, or making sure they stick to their regular feeding and medication schedule, I’m able to be fully present and responsive to their needs. My flexible routine means your pup will never be left alone for long, and I can easily adjust to accommodate their unique rhythms and preferences. Whether pets are staying in my home or I’m visiting them in theirs, I treat them like part of the family. In my home, dogs have plenty of space to relax and play, including access to a securely fenced backyard for safe outdoor time. I keep a consistent routine for meals, walks, and play, and I’m mindful of any special instructions, from medications to behavioral needs. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain the pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, provide lots of affection and enrichment, and make sure their space stays clean and safe. My goal is always to keep your pet happy, healthy, and stress-free in your absence—whether they’re with me or in their own home.
“Both my dogs had such a great time with Olga!! They both came home and went straight to sleep. She quickly responded to my request (even late at night) and sent me updates through the day so I knew my pups were safe. I highly recommend her for dog daycare/ sitting. Thanks again!”

“Great with my little maltipoo. She took care of her and made sure she was hydrated during her walk. She was very professional and very nice. I will be using her again.”
“Andrea is doing wonderfully with our dog Bear. Bears a little shy around new people but she took right to Andrea and is excited every time she comes to our home. Andrea is also incredibly flexible and a joy to work with. Highly recommend.”
“Chen has been a blessing! I was looking for a reliable dog walker for a while. Chen is great with my two large labradoodles who have a tendency to pull from time to time. She is always punctual and communicative when the schedule needs to change. I appreciate that she always sends pictures and updates of how the pups are doing and keeps me posted of their shenanigans like when they got into their wet food the other day. She even cleaned it up and put the food away for me. If you are looking for someone to take care of your pups I highly recommend Chen! She is great!”
About: My first memory was reaching out to pet the family dog and by the age of 8 I was the main care taker and trainer of our family pets (Sheltie, Poodle, Akita, Bearded Dragon). By 14 began pet sitting ranging from puppies at 8 months to senior dogs at 17 years old. I have cared for many of my neighbors pets that includes cats, hedgehogs, and hamsters. As I got older, I became braver and currently have two snakes. I am home full time and typically start my day with a morning walk which is always more appreciated with a four legged friend or two. In my care I offer daily updates and photos. For check-ins I typically stay for an hour to ensure the pets are well taken care of as well as provide extra walks or play time for the more energetic.
“Bree is always on time, does a full walk, takes photos, knows our two dogs (they both love her), and is so good at all of this that she gets it done with no disruption to our work from home situation. She is exactly what we have been looking for.”
About: My three years of experience have taught me that every dog possesses a unique personality and set of needs. I prioritize your pet's comfort and happiness by treating them as if they were my own. My approach centers on maintaining a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine, whether that involves strict adherence to dietary schedules or managing high-energy play. I hold certifications in Experience with senior pets and Experience with special needs pets. I remain calm during emergencies, prioritizing quick, responsible decision-making while keeping you fully informed. I am punctual, kind, and empathetic, and I truly enjoy helping shy dogs come out of their shells. With my own reliable transportation, I am ready to provide your dog with the dedicated care they deserve. I look forward to treating your beloved companion with the same love and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and am available for dog walks throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I understand that every dog has different needs, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to provide reliable, consistent walks and plenty of exercise, attention, and care. Animals have always been a part of my family, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. My childhood dog lived to be 15 years old, and I was there to help care for him throughout his life, especially in his senior years when he needed extra support. He was truly my best friend and taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and attentive care. Today, I care for my own dog and cat every day by feeding them, giving them attention, and making sure they are happy and healthy. I walk my dog before and after work and throughout the day as needed, and I enjoy spending quality time playing with both my dog and cat. I have a genuine love for animals, but dog walking is something I especially enjoy. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities, and I will treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets.
About: From blue tick coonhounds to chiweenies, I know my way around walking dogs! During my volunteering at an animal shelter, I learned proper walking and handling methods, so every walk is set to be safe and happy! I work part-time, often with multiple full days off that can be dedicated to keeping your pets safe, healthy, and happy! I’m also comfortable with taking care of pets before or after my shifts :) While I currently do not offer boarding, I am more than happy to visit wherever your pet calls home and give them comfortability and familiarity.
“Gabrielle has been a blessing to our new family member, Lupin, and to us, since she has been providing a daily mid-day walk and something for Lupin to look forward to now that we are all back to work. 🐾🐾”
“This was the first time using Rover, and a dog walker at that, so I was super nervous. Nicole was fantastic from the very moment we made contact. Glad Marley will now have someone to help when I am away for a day.”
About: Hi, I'm Kaylee! I have 8+ years of hands-on experience caring for pets and genuinely love working with animals. I currently offer dog walking, cat sitting, and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. I've owned cats my entire life and currently have a cat of my own, as well as a large, energetic black lab. Because of that, I'm comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including those who pull on leash, are high energy, reactive, nervous, or still learning their manners. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience caring for birds. I've owned parakeets and currently own a cockatiel. I'm also comfortable caring for small pets such as hamsters and guinea pigs and am happy to follow detailed care instructions to keep them comfortable and safe. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and am available for most morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I care for pets in their own homes so they can remain comfortable in a familiar environment. Whether your pet needs walks, feeding, playtime, medication administration, litter box cleaning, or simply some extra attention, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive, and I always send detailed updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I’m a stay at home mom so I have a good amount of time on my hands. Most days are open in the morning, afternoon, and evening except Wednesday and Friday evenings. I care for pets in their own home so they stay comfortable and stress free. I stick to your routine, handle walks, feeding, and playtime, and make sure they get lots of attention. I also send updates so you always know how they’re doing.
“Laura helped us out at the last minute and did a great job with our dog. Our dog doesn’t always feel comfortable with people right away but he gravitated to Laura’s warmth and friendliness!”

“David took such good care of my dog this past weekend, when I brought Knuckles home he cried as if he missed him . David sent daily photos which made me so much more comfortable knowing that my dog was happy. I will definitely be a returning client.”
“Tamikia did an amazing job taking care of my pup while I was gone! She provided lots of pictures/updates and made me feel at ease. I would definitely book with her again :)”
“This was my first time leaving my dog, Aldo, for such a long period, so I was honestly a bit nervous at first. The first couple of days were the hardest for me, and I found myself checking in often. Donte was very understanding and kept me updated, which really helped. After the first few days, I started receiving regular videos, pictures, and even video calls, and that made a huge difference. I could see Aldo was not just okay, he was actually having a great time. He’s normally the only dog at home, but during his stay, he had other dogs to interact with and played and enjoyed himself. It honestly felt like he was the one on vacation, not me. Aldo is a 12-year-old senior dog and can be a picky eater, so I was concerned about how he would adjust. Donte was very patient with him and made sure he was comfortable. When I picked him up, Aldo was completely himself, calm, normal, and clearly well taken care of. That meant a lot to me. I also really appreciated the home environment. There were always people around, which helped Aldo feel more at ease since he’s used to that at home. Overall, I’m very grateful for the care and attention Aldo received. You can tell Donte genuinely cares about the dogs he watches. I would definitely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Michell was absolutely fabulous! I would send my dog back there in a heartbeat. She came home so happy and well fed. She clearly loves being with Michell. It’s a gift to find someone you’re comfortable leaving your dog with. Highly recommended!!”
“Bryce was fantastic! Teddy loved being there and will still try to go into the house any time we walk past, which I take as a great sign! Will 100% be booking again when needed.”
“Juliana did an awesome job! She was the first sitter for our puppy and we could not be happier with how things went. We will definitely work with her again. She kept us up to date on her activities and kept our little one on schedule and busy. 💕”
“George watched our dog over Thanksgiving. He was very responsive leading up to and during the stay. He sent us pictures of her during having a great time. He took her on lots of walks and she seemed well cared for. When we picked her up she was so happy and pumped in a way she typically only is after she has had lots of fun. Will definitely use again and would recommend!”
“We are thankful for Christine loving on our pup Rex for a short last minute stay this weekend. We were able to rest assured that he was well taken care of while we enjoyed time with our daughter in college.”
“We had a great experience boarding with Leah. We arranged a meet and greet prior which was helpful for me and my husband and probably our dog Maggie. Leah was a good communicator and flexible. I feel like she took good care of Maggie and that her dogs were good companions and helped Maggie pass the time playing. I’m not sure our dog missed us at all. Thank you Leah and family.”
“Carly was fantastic. She watched my dog, Griffey, over Memorial Day Weekend and I was very satisfied with the experience. Carly was proactive with sending updates every day throughout the stay, so I always knew how Griffey was doing. It was a great environment for Griffey - her two dogs provided the companionship, socialization, and play that he would not typically have otherwise, and the hikes Carly took him on gave him plenty of exercise. Carly was a great sitter and it was clear that she genuinely cared for Griffey's well-being. I would definitely return as a customer if Griffey needs a sitter in the future.”
“Brian never fails to deliver! My big boy Golden Retriever cannot wait to see Brian and his pups. We had another stay with Brian this weekend and will continue to come back. Thanks Brian!”
“Loved her! She kept me up to date daily with a photo, video, or comments regarding my dog, Sadie. She was attentive to any concerns I had in the beginning as my dog has food allergies, and she assured me she would follow my instructions regarding her care completely. I will be using her again!”
“We would 100% rebook with Christin! Everything was so smooth and friendly that we know that Finn had an amazing time. Loads of updates and super fast communication. Thanks again for taking in Finn :)”
About: I’ve been a pet owner/parent since I was a child. I’ve owned Pugs, Frenchies, Rotties, Great Danes and even mixed breeds from puppies to seniors. This has given me the knowledge to understand that all pups are different and may need different attention depending on their stage of life, but rest assured all pups will receive safe, reliable and loving care. At this time caring for your pet is my only job so I’ll have plenty of time to play with and care for your pups! I’m available for boarding with a drop off window between 9:30am and 7:30pm weekdays, with the exception of 5:30-6pm which is typically when I like to feed the pups unless instructed otherwise. I like to allow about an hour and a half of rest after eating for proper digestion before any playtime. Checkout should be no later than 10:00am, or you will be charged the daycare fee for that day and your pet must be picked up by 6pm.. On weekends drop off times are after 2pm but there may be an opportunity for some flexibility that can be discussed if an earlier time is needed. Daycare hours will run 8:30am to 6pm Monday to Friday. “PLEASE NOTE” that all pets must be up to date with shots and flea and tick meds for daycare and boarding. Proof will be required. Your pets safety is very important to me which is why I require dog friendly pets only and no puppies under 5 months. If you are unsure of how your pet will handle boarding I suggest trying a couple days of daycare to get them adjusted. At no time will your pet ever be left alone in the yard or unattended in my home. If something comes up and I need to run an errand, your pet will be crated/pen for safety. I have central air to keep the pets cool and if your pup feels a bit overwhelmed at first while boarding by my resident dogs, I can offer separation if needed.
“I had a wonderful experience with Carismeldi taking care of my dog. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and responsible throughout the entire stay. What I appreciated most was that she kept me updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my dog was well cared for and received lots of attention and affection. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter!”
“Christopher is the best! He takes such great care of my dog Tofu when she stays with him. And he always sends so many updates and cute pictures of their time together!”
“Jessica is the best! Our dog Mochi has stayed with her several times now and enjoys each visit so much. She is professional, easy to communicate with, and super reliable. Highly recommend!”
“Liam was great with keeping me in the loop and sending pics! He was flexible with drop off and pick up. I’m glad Raff had some furry friends to play with as well :)”
