About: I’m a dedicated dog lover offering a safe, comfortable home for your pup while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone, so I treat every pet like part of the family. I have two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love having visitors and help create a fun, relaxed environment. My home also has a fully fenced backyard, so your dog can safely run, play, and get plenty of fresh air! Whether your dog loves to play or just relax, they’ll have a cozy, supervised stay here. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands :) Pet care fits well into my daily routine! I work from 7 AM to 3 PM, and my boyfriend has a later schedule, so there is usually someone home during the day. In the mornings, I make sure all dogs are fed, let out, and get some attention before I leave. During the day, they’re let out and supervised, and once I’m home, they get plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. Your dog won’t be left alone for long and will get consistent care throughout the day. I do my best to make every dog feel at home here. I keep a comfortable routine with regular meals, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. I take time to make sure dogs feel safe and settle in at their own pace, and I always supervise interactions. Whether your dog is playful or more laid-back, I adjust to their needs so they feel relaxed and cared for.
“Elizabeth was kind enough to board Sam for me which was awesome because my dog could in and out at his leisure which is an ideal set up. She also kept in touch with me on how he was doing.”
“Natasha and her family took care of our dogs like they were members of their family. Other places offered our dogs to " let out" every few hours from a shed. Natasha looked after our partially deff and blind senior citizen pug and our ball obsessed boarder collie in their own home. The dogs were always around someone who could play and love on them.”
“My girl tends to be very nervous and scared around new people and environments and she has never been left with anyone before so of course I was worried with how everything would go. Cyndi made my dog feel so at ease and sent me so many updates my girl was right at home within an hour. I was so happy! Bailey will be back soon!”
“Highly recommend. Damacia took care of Teddy very well.. Teddy attached to her as a family member. She updated every day with his picture. Thanks Damacia 🥰”
“We had an excellent experience with Amy. Communication was clear, easy drop off and pick up and she sent lots of photos of our dog having a blast with her dogs. We will definitely use her again.”
“Paula took excellent care of Luna, and I've never seen Luna take to someone so quickly as she did Paula! Normally when we get back from leaving her, she can't wait to jump in the back of our vehicle to head home-not the case this time! In fact, she acted like she wanted to stay with Paula! Good job, and thank you Paula!”
“Jennifer was awesome! My dogs were very comfortable in her house and I loved the updates she provided while we were away! This was our first time using rover and Jennifer and it was a great experience overall, we will definitely use Jennifer’s service again!”
“Denise is really responsive to all my questions. My two boys love staying with her. They can’t wait to jump out of the car when we get there and are super happy when I go back to pick them up. I never worry about leaving them when they are with Denise.”
“Pamela and Paul are legit ‘dog people’. They got to know Ollie pretty quickly and confidently helped him ease into a friendship with Marlowe and another client. I received the usual photos of Ollie with a ball or snuggling humans, but was surprised to also receive photos of Ollie playing and snuggling with the other dogs, which was a whole new experience for him! I’m happy to know he was so well taken care of during his time with Pamela, Paul and Marlowe and will reach out again for future boarding!”
“Sheri is amazing, amazing and even more amazing! She took care of my little pal just like I would. I received daily pics and updates and I can't say enough great things about her care. Thanks again for everything!”
“Sally was well cared for and had a great stay last weekend! My high energy lab had lots of play time and Elizabeth sent me many photos and updates. Highly recommend Elizabeth, thank you!!”
“I did a lot of homework and reviewing of boarders for my 1.5-year-old, 70 lb. Aussie/golden before landing on Robin because of her amazing reviews and years of experience. We had just had a terrible board and train situation leaving him with some pressure sores and anxiety. I am so glad I chose Robin though. She allowed me to come out a month before booking to see her facilities, get to know me and my pup, and to explain how his days would be going. Ollie looked so incredibly comfortable around her then I started calling our vacation his summer camp. She sent pictures almost daily of Ollie running around and playing with other pups. He came back to me 5 lb. lighter than before because of it (he needed it!) and I can also tell that she kept up with his training that we have been working on which I greatly appreciated. He actually looked disappointed to go home! We will of course be back and will tell everyone we know who needs a boarder! Thank you, Robin!”
“Jeanette and her family were absolutely wonderful with my pup. I needed a last-minute sitter, and she was so kind and accommodating. I was very nervous about leaving Bailey somewhere other than with family, but Jeanette immediately put me at ease. She kept me updated with plenty of photos and check-ins, which I truly appreciated. Bailey had an amazing time and was happy, tired, and clearly well loved when I picked her up. I would highly recommend Jeanette and her family, they truly made Bailey feel right at home.”
“Moose always loves staying with Michelle and her sweet pup, Milo! He gets excited when he recognizes where we are and I always know Moose is in great hands!”
“Matt is phenomenal and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! From the moment we dropped our dog off, it was clear how thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely caring he is. His home is welcoming and clearly set up with dogs in mind, and we felt completely at ease leaving our dog there overnight. We received great updates, and it was obvious our dog was comfortable, well cared for, and having a great time. When we picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had been treated like one of the family. It’s such a relief to have a sitter we trust completely - this is exactly what you hope to find. We will absolutely be booking again and can’t recommend Matt highly enough!”
“They took care of them very well! We were worried because our dogs have limited human interactions, but she assured us that they were really good. We were very scared putting them in someone else's care but they did above and beyond, especially for the dogs temperaments. Thank you!”
“THANKS ROVER FOR YOUR HELP!!! Riley was great! My Sheba Inu, Pickles really liked her! Riley sent me pictures of Pickles & I think she was smiling☺️ I have never left Pickles with anybody B4 & she’s definitely a mama‘s girl! Riley assured me they would have fun& I could tell Pickles definitely did! Plus she picked up and delivered Pickles form home & that made everything much easier! I would definitely use Riley again!”
“Myra was absolutely wonderful to work with! She took such good care of our doodle. She was very quick to respond to questions and gave updates with photos during her stay. Will be rebooking with her asap!”
“Cassandra has been a godsend. I have not boarded Molly, my dog, in 5 years due to an unfortunate incident at a reputable boarding facility. Cassandra put me and Molly at ease immediately during our meet and greet. She sent numerous pictures and reports throughout the day about Molly, her activities, and how she was adjusting. I have already booked my next boarding with her! I highly recommend Cassandra.”

“Jenna was exceptional—highly communicative, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful in her care for our cats. We would absolutely welcome the opportunity to work with her again in the future.”
“Excellent caretaking of our cats. Kelly went the extra mile to also feed our wild birds, which I know THEY appreciated! She made sure that the trash got taken out so that our house didn't smell of old catfood cans, which was so thoughtful. We will use her again!!!”
“This was our first time using Rover. Riley was helpful in explaining how it worked. She watched our cat for several visits for two days. For each visit she sent information on how the visit went. Unfortunately our kitty would run and hide after greeting her so she couldn’t get many pictures. She even went and found him and sat trying to convince him to come out! He ate well during her visits and she was kind to clean up the dirty cat bowls each time! It’s also very comforting knowing Riley has experience working in a vet clinic.”
“One day I was fine, the next day I started a twelve-day stay in the Critical Care Unit of a major teaching hospital. I contacted Haley—I had never used her before, who stepped into 3-a-day visits to take care of Douglas for the duration of my hospial stay. I reeceived daily reports, but also she communicated with my friends so I could completely concentrate my efforts on healing. I feel she was part of the team that saved my life.”
“Sophia was a great sitter for my cat, Franklin! She was prompt with all of her visits over the busy holiday season, and included great reviews and pictures in the rover cards. If you’re thinking of hiring her, you won’t regret it!”
“I will definitely book with Alexis the next time I need a pet sitter. You can really tell she has a heart for animals. She was extremely kind and took great care of my sweet pet Nugs. She asked to come a day early and learn how to take care of my Nugs and to pick up the house key and I loved the initiative. I also loved getting the opportunity to meet her before she took care of Nugs. Nugs does not warm up to everyone quickly, but was giving Alexis kisses (cute little licks) during her visits. I have nothing but good things to say about Alexis and would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter! :)”
“Elena is fantastic! We have two rescue doodles and one of them is scared to death of strangers. She was patient and kind to our pups, and Annie and Cooper took to her right away! We just love her and will definitely use her as a regular sitter!”
“Rochelle watched our senior cat, Callie, at our home while we were on vacation. She was extremely reliable and trustworthy—sending us daily pictures, videos, and updates. It was easy to tell how much she loves animals and our cat absolutely loved her. She even left us the sweetest letter upon our return summarizing their at-home adventures from week. A great person and a wonderful pet companion. We highly recommend her and will absolutely ask her to sit for us for future trips.”
About: I've been around animals since before I could walk, and have always had a way with them. If you're looking for a caring, detail oriented, and experienced fur sitter/walker, look no further. From feathered birds no bigger than your hand, to strong horses, I've handled just about anything. While I am new to this app, I am no stranger to animals. Wether they are young babies or older seniors, I would be more than happy to care for your pets. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile, and I hope to hear from you soon.
About: Every cat gets my full attention, patience, and genuinely endless affection (if they are interested). Your cat will be in hands that actually care, not just someone checking a box. I pay keen attention to their needs and wait patiently for them to come to me on their own terms. I'm a law student heading into my second year of school and I have flexibility this summer for regular visits or last-minute help. I've spent years caring for cats for family, friends, and I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities — from the social butterflies who greet you at the door to the elusive and aloof ones who won't come out from under the bed for days. I pay close attention to each cat's cues and never rush the process of earning their trust. I'm someone you can count on to be on time every time. While I don't have pets of my own right now, I'm surrounded by them constantly and there is honestly nowhere I'd rather be.
“My grumpy old cat came home happy and purring. Carleen is the kitty whisperer! She sent photos, communicated well and quickly. I boarded my Max with her and her house is beautiful and tidy. She will be my first pick next time I am in need!”
About: I’ve been passionate about animals since I was child, caring for our family and neighbors pets, rescuing wounded critters, volunteering at the local SPCA, and playing with all furry (or not), creatures! I am very active and can walk for miles! I am responsible, dependable, and will provide exceptional service! I work part time with a flexible schedule. I don’t travel for work and I have my own transportation which can accommodate multiple pets of all shapes and sizes. Currently, our family doesn’t own any pets and I miss that interaction! I have a fenced in back yard and live in a neighborhood full of side walks and walking trails with lots furry friends to play with!
About: I am an animal lover! I have grown up with dogs and taking care of other people's animals. I have a beagle and a Siberian husky that I adore and spend all of my free time with. My beagle's name is Ben and he is 7 years old. My husky's name is Bear and he is 4 years old. I have spent a lot of time over summers dog sitting where I spent the night in the homes and cared for the dogs throughout the day. I know how to get animals to listen and how to be patient when they are struggling to do this. I can be very flexible with bookings and am ready to provide the type of care that your pets may need.
About: Taking care of dogs or any animal in fact has always been something I really enjoyed from a young age. I started a few years ago just reaching out to friends and family to take care of their pups and I’ve had a blast and want to make it a more every day thing. I just love making dogs as happy as they make me:) Pet care fits perfectly into my routine since I work very part-time and have lots of flexibility. I love being able to plan my days around walks, playtime, and quality time with the pets I care for. I’m also available for overnights, which means I can give pets extra comfort and consistency while their owners are away—it’s something I genuinely enjoy, so it never feels like work! When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they have a safe, clean, and comfortable space with plenty of attention and playtime. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible, including feeding, walks, and any meds they need. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep things consistent for the pet. Whether it’s my home or theirs, I treat every pet like they’re my own—making sure they feel loved, relaxed, and well cared for

About: I’m a stay at home mom with three dog crazy kiddos! I’ve always had dogs my entire life, and spent part of my young adulthood working as a vet tech. I have experience walking dogs for my neighbors growing up and taking care of friends’ critters. I’m home most of the day so your pup will get plenty of attention and opportunity for exercise and play time. My family and I love hanging out at home in our backyard when weather is nice and spending time with our animal crew. Nowadays, I live on three acres with my family including a little schnauzer and a flock of chickens. Your pup will be able to go on long walks and adventures as our neighborhood has lots of trail options! My kids are in school most of the day, and are very responsible and good with all animals. Your pup will get lots of socialization and love with us. Your fur baby will be in good hands with us!
About: Over the past couple of years, I’ve had the joy of caring for family and friends dogs when needed, giving their dogs a loving home away from home. I work from home so I have flexibility of time and a lot of love to give to your furry friend! Available for boarding any day of the week. My fenced-in back yard offers a safe environment for fresh air, fun, and exercise. Dogs allowed on furniture. I have a two year old lab who loves other dogs! I can also crate if needed.
“Always satisfied with Srujana’s care and enthusiasm when looking after Tenor. The pup always comes back happy, and most importantly, tuckered you after playing with Rex all day.”
“I have been taking my dog to daycare with Kelly for almost two months now and couldn't be happier. She has a genuine love for animals, cares for your dog like her own, and provides a flexible schedule.”
“Ashli has been a blessing in disguise for us! We’re so glad to have found her on Rover! Our little dog Boba loooooooves playing with Ashli’s puppies Rocky and Fozzy. We had the best meet and greet experience we’ve had so far on Rover. Ashli and her puppers spent plenty of time with us and she even went to the extent of showing us her home and talked through how Boba would be situated. Ashli has been amazing at sending updates while we’re away and genuinely cares for Boba’s wellbeing. We’ve struck gold with finding friends for Boba and us and will continue to seek her help and services as long as possible! Thank you Ashli!!”
“Vannessa is very reliable and sweet! My puppy loves her. She sends pics/vids throughout the day. Its a bonus that she lives 5mins from me. Grateful to have found her as I wasn’t expecting to get Ace so soon. So thank you very much for all you do, it is more than appreciated!”
“Zadie enjoyed her day stay at Andreea's today. The shady back yard was a perfect exercise spot in this hot, muggy Richmond weather. Andreea let me know via message that Zadie wasn't so interested in her food, which she made up for when she returned home! Guess she was having too much fun interacting with Andreea's two pups to think about eating. Smooth booking, arrival and departure.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, growing up in a home with multiple pups of all sizes. From feeding and bathing to long walks and playtime, I’ve always been hands-on in making sure they’re happy and well cared for. In addition to dogs, I’ve also raised birds, turtles, and fish, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and at home. I currently work from home so I’m able to provide physical comfort and stimulation via petting and playing with toys. We also have a dog park where I can take your pet for off leash running around and fetching. I have experience providing oral medicine for dogs. I allow dogs on furniture and free roaming in the house, but if you have a crate and wish to bring it just let me know. Please provide any instructions on feeding schedule or items.
“Susan and Josh were such great hosts for June! Lots of outdoor space, and other dogs to hang out with. I would recommend this home to any pet and will use again if we’re in the area!”
“Eva is amazing! She took great care of my rambunctious puppy and even taught her some training tips. She sent photos and updates frequently and I know my puppy received the best care and love.”
“Paula was wonderful! We were visiting from out of town and she took our booking even though it was short notice. Our dog had a great experience and Paula was responsive and kind.”
“Parneet was sweet and assured me my puppy was in good hands. It was my first experience with Rover and I was nervous. At the end of the day I picked up a calm, tired and happy puppy. Perfect.”

About: I've been around animals since before I could walk, and have always had a way with them. My family and I lived in a trailer park when I was little. My mother always said from the moment I was born the animals flocked to me and there was no animal I couldn't get my hands on. My sister and I used to play with the stray cats outside of Grandpa's house. Pop would always mention how the cat we were holding would never let anyone close enough. Mom would often find "miss kitty in my crib with me. As I got older miss kitty passed away, but had left behind some kittens in her stead. Mom had decided to keep one and named him pudgy. He was a long hair black cat with the tiniest bit of white on his underbelly. I can remember running up and down the hallway and tap my shoulder as if trying to play tag with my sister and I. Pudgy and I had been the best of friends for about 18 years, till his passing. During the years he and I were together, he would often come running anytime he heard me sniffle or begin to cry. There were many other animals that we had over the years as well. Dogs, chickens, goats, rabbits, rodents, amphibians, horses they've been a vital part of my life. But no matter what I always come back to many best friend and the furry felines. If you're looking for a caring, detail oriented, and experienced fur sitter/walker, look no further. From feathered birds no bigger than your hand, to strong horses, I've handled just about anything. While I am new to this app, I am no stranger to animals. Wether they are young babies or older seniors, I would be more than happy to care for your pets. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile, and I hope to hear from you soon. I am currently working on getting my EVOC certification for Royal Medical. I will not have my updated schedule until after March 29. When I watch pets I do generally have my 5 yo with me. Availability -pending I have a dog pen out back and a cable that we use with our dogs fairly frequently when the weather is nice. I also have a play pen that the pups play in.

About: Every dog, cat, and critter gets my full attention, patience, and genuinely endless affection. Your pet will be in hands that actually care, not just someone checking a box.

I'm a law student heading into my second year of school and I have flexibility this summer for regular visits or last-minute help. I've spent years caring for dogs and cats for family, friends, and new clients and I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities. I pay close attention to each animal's cues, take the time to build genuine trust, and am someone you can count on — on time, every time. While I don't have pets of my own right now, I'm surrounded by them constantly and there is honestly nowhere I'd rather be. My schedule is flexible. If it works for you, it works for me. Above all else, I believe communication and timeliness are everything. You'll always hear from me promptly, whether it is confirming a booking, giving an update mid-visit, or letting you know about anything unexpected. No guessing, no chasing me down, just reliable, responsive care you can count on. When I'm in your home, your pet's comfort and routine come first. I follow your instructions closely including feeding schedules, walking routes, any quirks or preferences because familiarity and consistency are what keep animals calm and happy in their parents absence. I treat every home with the same care and respect I'd want shown in my own, and I'm always in close communication so you're never left wondering how things are going. Further, I know that inviting someone new into your home and trusting them with your pets is a big deal, please be assured I'm direct, honest, and an open book.
About: I've always had dogs in my life ever since childhood. I provide homemade meals and belly rubs. Play time and tv time! Tremendous love daily. Being At home allows my freedom to take care of my dog and yours. Free time to do multiple activities. Play time and nap time. I also cater to evening and night shift workers because I have a hard time finding care for my own. I do have a crate if necessary. Toys. Treats. Puzzles. My dog is also my helper. Blankets. Tranquility music for naps. The Hugs are unlimited.
About: I grow up with dogs and experience in foster care for feline. I currently have one 9yr old brown tabby. I am good with animals of all age ranges. Preferably more adult and senior (I have a soft spot for them) :) I can help with pet sittings, dog walking, potentially cat boarding. I’m currently working full time Monday to Friday. I am most available for the weekend (all day) or evenings help from Monday to Sunday. With my experiences with dogs and cats. I am comfortable with the daily routines of walking, feeding time, grooming, and anything you would need me to help with your fur baby!
“Alexis did an amazing job for my baby girl. She sent me pictures and routes of each walk. My dog was very happy when I came home after being exercised. Strongly recommend Alexis !”

About: I’m a dedicated dog lover offering a safe, comfortable home for your pup while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone, so I treat every pet like part of the family. I have two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love having visitors and help create a fun, relaxed environment. My home also has a fully fenced backyard, so your dog can safely run, play, and get plenty of fresh air! Whether your dog loves to play or just relax, they’ll have a cozy, supervised stay here. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands :) Pet care fits well into my daily routine! I work from 7 AM to 3 PM, and my boyfriend has a later schedule, so there is usually someone home during the day. In the mornings, I make sure all dogs are fed, let out, and get some attention before I leave. During the day, they’re let out and supervised, and once I’m home, they get plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. Your dog won’t be left alone for long and will get consistent care throughout the day. I do my best to make every dog feel at home here. I keep a comfortable routine with regular meals, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. I take time to make sure dogs feel safe and settle in at their own pace, and I always supervise interactions. Whether your dog is playful or more laid-back, I adjust to their needs so they feel relaxed and cared for.
“Elizabeth was kind enough to board Sam for me which was awesome because my dog could in and out at his leisure which is an ideal set up. She also kept in touch with me on how he was doing.”
“Natasha and her family took care of our dogs like they were members of their family. Other places offered our dogs to " let out" every few hours from a shed. Natasha looked after our partially deff and blind senior citizen pug and our ball obsessed boarder collie in their own home. The dogs were always around someone who could play and love on them.”
“My girl tends to be very nervous and scared around new people and environments and she has never been left with anyone before so of course I was worried with how everything would go. Cyndi made my dog feel so at ease and sent me so many updates my girl was right at home within an hour. I was so happy! Bailey will be back soon!”
“Paula took excellent care of Luna, and I've never seen Luna take to someone so quickly as she did Paula! Normally when we get back from leaving her, she can't wait to jump in the back of our vehicle to head home-not the case this time! In fact, she acted like she wanted to stay with Paula! Good job, and thank you Paula!”
“Jennifer was awesome! My dogs were very comfortable in her house and I loved the updates she provided while we were away! This was our first time using rover and Jennifer and it was a great experience overall, we will definitely use Jennifer’s service again!”
“Denise is really responsive to all my questions. My two boys love staying with her. They can’t wait to jump out of the car when we get there and are super happy when I go back to pick them up. I never worry about leaving them when they are with Denise.”
“Sheri is amazing, amazing and even more amazing! She took care of my little pal just like I would. I received daily pics and updates and I can't say enough great things about her care. Thanks again for everything!”
“Sally was well cared for and had a great stay last weekend! My high energy lab had lots of play time and Elizabeth sent me many photos and updates. Highly recommend Elizabeth, thank you!!”
“I did a lot of homework and reviewing of boarders for my 1.5-year-old, 70 lb. Aussie/golden before landing on Robin because of her amazing reviews and years of experience. We had just had a terrible board and train situation leaving him with some pressure sores and anxiety. I am so glad I chose Robin though. She allowed me to come out a month before booking to see her facilities, get to know me and my pup, and to explain how his days would be going. Ollie looked so incredibly comfortable around her then I started calling our vacation his summer camp. She sent pictures almost daily of Ollie running around and playing with other pups. He came back to me 5 lb. lighter than before because of it (he needed it!) and I can also tell that she kept up with his training that we have been working on which I greatly appreciated. He actually looked disappointed to go home! We will of course be back and will tell everyone we know who needs a boarder! Thank you, Robin!”
“Jeanette and her family were absolutely wonderful with my pup. I needed a last-minute sitter, and she was so kind and accommodating. I was very nervous about leaving Bailey somewhere other than with family, but Jeanette immediately put me at ease. She kept me updated with plenty of photos and check-ins, which I truly appreciated. Bailey had an amazing time and was happy, tired, and clearly well loved when I picked her up. I would highly recommend Jeanette and her family, they truly made Bailey feel right at home.”
“Matt is phenomenal and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! From the moment we dropped our dog off, it was clear how thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely caring he is. His home is welcoming and clearly set up with dogs in mind, and we felt completely at ease leaving our dog there overnight. We received great updates, and it was obvious our dog was comfortable, well cared for, and having a great time. When we picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had been treated like one of the family. It’s such a relief to have a sitter we trust completely - this is exactly what you hope to find. We will absolutely be booking again and can’t recommend Matt highly enough!”
“They took care of them very well! We were worried because our dogs have limited human interactions, but she assured us that they were really good. We were very scared putting them in someone else's care but they did above and beyond, especially for the dogs temperaments. Thank you!”
“THANKS ROVER FOR YOUR HELP!!! Riley was great! My Sheba Inu, Pickles really liked her! Riley sent me pictures of Pickles & I think she was smiling☺️ I have never left Pickles with anybody B4 & she’s definitely a mama‘s girl! Riley assured me they would have fun& I could tell Pickles definitely did! Plus she picked up and delivered Pickles form home & that made everything much easier! I would definitely use Riley again!”
“Myra was absolutely wonderful to work with! She took such good care of our doodle. She was very quick to respond to questions and gave updates with photos during her stay. Will be rebooking with her asap!”
“Cassandra has been a godsend. I have not boarded Molly, my dog, in 5 years due to an unfortunate incident at a reputable boarding facility. Cassandra put me and Molly at ease immediately during our meet and greet. She sent numerous pictures and reports throughout the day about Molly, her activities, and how she was adjusting. I have already booked my next boarding with her! I highly recommend Cassandra.”
“Terry is a kind woman and knows her dogs! She takes care of rescue dogs, and our dogs Leo and Baby Girl, were fine when we picked them up. She walked them a lot, which is wonderful because I have a spinal condition which, prevents me from walking them as much as I would like to. She has a lovely daughter who helps her. She washed their crate blanket and pad cover before we picked them up. She is very responsible and goes the extra mile.”
About: Over the past couple of years, I’ve had the joy of caring for family and friends dogs when needed, giving their dogs a loving home away from home. I work from home so I have flexibility of time and a lot of love to give to your furry friend! Available for boarding any day of the week. My fenced-in back yard offers a safe environment for fresh air, fun, and exercise. Dogs allowed on furniture. I have a two year old lab who loves other dogs! I can also crate if needed.
“Laura and DJ took such great care of our dogs, Benny and Kiwi, while we were away for our wedding weekend!! They sent regular picture and video updates of the pups playing, getting love, and having fun. I can’t thank them enough! Definitely 10/10 recommend booking with them!”
