“Megan was super awesome when I had a bit of a time-crunch-crisis the day before my boarding reservation was about to start. (PSA: don’t do what I did and always make sure you map the location beforehand ?) She also was an amazing communicator while I was away and sent lots of photos/videos. Highly recommend!”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with Marco and Polo! From the moment we dropped them off, we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in caring and loving hands. She kept us updated, treated them like family, and clearly paid attention to their individual personalities and needs. Marco and Polo came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for — which says everything. Sarah went above and beyond, and her kindness and professionalism truly stood out. It’s hard to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, but Sarah made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and attentive sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you again, Sarah, for taking such wonderful care of our boys!”
“Finn and Fiona had a great time staying with Connie and her family. They kept my dogs busy and happily playing, which is not an easy task as Finn is a 6 month old lab! She sent tons of pictures and videos, so I was able to relax and know that our pups were doing great and having a mini vacation too. They even went for a walk to the park which can be quite an event as Finn is an enthusiastic leash walker. Both Finn and Fiona came home and promptly fell into an exhausted sleep :] I would recommend Connie as a pet sitter and plan to book another stay for Finn and Fiona for an upcoming trip we have in November. ”
“Connie was able to accommodate a last minute booking request. She took excellent care of my pups and sent many pics during their stay. I could tell they were happy and well taken care of! I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“We always try to book Traci when we’re leaving town. She is conscientious, flexible, and cheerful, and provides frequent updates with photos. We have no worries at all when we leave our pups with Traci. Our dogs love her, and she seems to really love them, too!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn't be happier with Seyla's pet sitting services. He provided multiple daily updates, including time-stamped videos and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our boys received plenty of exercise and were clearly well cared for—Seyla treated them as if they were his own. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable, attentive, and caring sitter. We will definitely be booking with him again!”
“Mickey and his family are awesome! They treat my my fur baby as if she was theirs. Love getting pictures and videos during her visits. The kennel will now only be used as my “back up” place. Highly recommend!”
“This was the absolute best experience with Nick and Yiqiuxi. The communication was daily with pictures. In each picture my puppy looked so happy and comfortable. They will definitely be his home away from home when I need to go out of town. I cant say Thank You enough!!”
“Bunchy was well taken care of by Amer. Both her and her husband are extremely passionate about what they do and plan on taking Bunchy back every time I travel. They have a large yard for bunchy to run around and he came home happy and exhausted. Again, thank you for the daily pictures to keep me aware of his daily activities. This is much better than using those large pet hotels that restricts your dog. I am new to the area and grateful to have found Amber.”
“We were traveling and planned a last minute stop in DC and Mount Vernon. Cameron was able to watch our Luna for 2 nights while we got to enjoy the city and not worry about Luna and the heat. Plus, Luna had other 4 legged friends to hang with. Would definitely recommend and thank you for taking great care of Luna.”
“Morgan is truly a godsend! I cannot speak more highly about him. I was absolutely desperate to find a boarder for my grandmothers dogs as she had been hospitalized and her heat was not being paid due to memory issues. Our dogs of 10+ years were inside of the house without a caretaker and in a desperate plea for help, Morgan answered. Not only did he answer, but he moved around his schedule to get the dogs out of the house the next day. Due to the severity of the situation they had not been groomed , they were very matted and he even brought them to the groomers and back so that I could focus on an extremely important interview. He also sent lots of photos and videos that I was able to send to my grandmother during her recovery to make her feel better. I am so extremely grateful to have people like Morgan around. People like him give us faith in humanity again. ❤️”
“Lilian has been great with my puppy! She showed him so much love and care while in her care. We explained our concern about leaving him for the first time and she quickly put us at ease knowing he would be taken care of! Thank you so much! We look forward to booking again!”
“Chris has alway been amazing!!! Great communication and flexibility. This is our third or fourth time booking and it won’t be our last!!! Thank you so much for always taking good care of Gunner!!!”
“Anna was fantastic with my old dog! This was our first time using Rover and Anna made our first experience very pleasant. From the moment of request she was quick to communicate and ask questions to make sure she was the right fit for my 13 year old Labrador. My wife and I had a late notice trip we needed to take with odd flight times and tight layovers, that being said Anna was able to be flexible if our flights got delayed and even made sure that if anything unexpected helped with out return flight, my dog was going to be taken care of. She also was thorough of letting me know what information she needed for caring for my dog and what items we needed to send with her to better settle my dog into a new environment. Anna checked in daily with a quick message and photo of my dog’s stay which really helped us put our minds at ease. Thank you, Anna! You’re a lifesaver and Olive came home in great spirits!”
“Phillip was great with Bronx! We felt really comfortable leaving her with him and felt reassured throughout the weekend. He sent update pictures and let us know that she was doing ok. Bronx was a happy girl when we picked her up. Very communicative and overall great vibe! Will be using Phillip again.”
“LaTasha provided such great care to Deuce. The videos and pictures sent each day helped me in knowing that he was having fun and in a safe place. I will absolutely use her services again.”
“Eldeen and her family always take great care of our whippet puppy! He loves spending time there and always comes back happy. Eldeen and her family are super flexible and happy to accommodate whatever our schedule might be. Thanks again!”
“Incredibly responsive and very easy to work with. Flexible with what I needed and willing to work with me to ensure my dog was well taken care of. If I could provide one point is they take on multiple pets at one time. Plus I believe they have two of their own but im not certain. If you have a pet that requires a lot of attention such as a puppy, my recommendation would be to verify how many pets they plan to have while yours is with them. Ensure your pet is social with other animals and is prepared. Other than that, excellent service!”

About: Hi! I’m an active dog lover and runner who loves starting my mornings outside, and I’d love to help your pup do the same! 🐾 I know how busy work schedules can get, and sometimes dogs just need a chance to stretch their legs, burn some energy, and enjoy some fresh air. I offer morning walks and drop-ins to help your pet get exercise before the heat of the day sets in. Whether your dog needs a chill walk or to get some miles in I’ll treat them like my own. I have years of hands-on experience caring for my own animals and understand that every pet has their own personality and activity needs. Let me help your pup start their day happy, exercised, and ready to relax while you focus on whatever your day brings! 🫶🏻☀️ Im currently working as a bartender in the evenings and am studying at germanna online this semester. I enjoy getting some miles in early before it gets hot to get the day started right. Each booking I will come prepared with water, a portable bowl, and potty bags. If your dog is food motivated please feel free to leave me your dogs favorite training snack or kib to bring along for our walk. As someone with a dog who has a sensitive tummy I will never provide any food items to your dog unless it is provided and explicitly directed to.
“Andrew took fantastic care of my cat, Castle, while I was away. He sent daily updates and pictures, which made me feel at ease and be able to enjoy my trip. Also, my cat loved his boots so much that I'll have to get him his own pair!! I cannot recommend Andrew enough for your pet sitting needs. Your home and pets will be in great hands.”
“Victoria was very friendly and very communicative. She showed up when she said that she would, and asked a lot of questions. It was clear that she was very dedicated to doing a good job. My cat has asthma and is now having to get medicine via a nebulizer, and Victoria handled it like a pro. I'd definitely feel comfortable having her check on my cat in the future.”
“TOP ENDORSEMENT: Pet care is Kimberly's career. This dedication & training are evident in her professional in-person demeanor and ease with animals. Kimberly sat my two male, semi-feral cats for a week and I couldn't be happier with her care. Food, water, and litterbox cleaning was EXACTLY as I asked. The aloof, don't-touch-me cat now adores her. She was even kind enough to water my money tree and stack my mail. Her expertise and depth of experience enabled me to travel completely WORRY FREE. Highly recommend!”
“Working with Amber was a snap. She responded quickly to a last minute request, was up front when a schedule change was needed, and helped look in on my cat even when the weather was terrible.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats in the past that are a bit skittish and weary of strangers but, with time and patience, grew to like me and be friendly.

About: I have always had a soft spot for animals. I began working in the medical field but realized my heart was in the place to care for animals instead.

I cannot accommodate overnights in my house sitting but can offer lengthy and frequent visits I am available for walking, feeding, caring, loving and walking your babies of whatever species and breed. I am extremely responsible and comfortable with administering medication if need be and am very cautious when it comes to walking or letting the animal outside or when it comes to rules you have for your pet.

I can even show you pictures and videos of my very spoiled pets for reference!

“We were visiting from out of town for our sons wedding and needed a last minute sitter. Thankfully we found Megan! Olive had a great time with Megan. She was a happy and worn out pup by the time we picked her up.”
About: My husband and I are blessed to have a totally fenced in home with over three acres. I decided to use this blessing to bless dogs to come and run and play. Dogs were meant to run and roam not be tied up. I so enjoy being outdoors and being around dogs. I have always had dogs even growing up with my family. My father had a heart for animals and I believe that is where my love has come from. I have three dogs of my own and each one has a very special spirit about them. In my spare time, I enjoy going to the rescues and shelters walking the dogs there. I also take rescue puppies into our home and foster them until they are adopted into a loving family. My husband and I work together and we have plenty of time to give special attention to your fur baby. We believe in exercising your pet whether by means of walking, playing with their favorite toy, sitting on the porch just hanging out and also then giving the proper rest as needed. My yard is fenced in for protected play time. While inside your pet will be allowed to be a part of household for special time and then I have a separate area where your pet will be allowed to have quite time and rest in a crate or in a area without a crate as needed.
“Morgan is amazing ! I’m in the process of selling my home and had a pre-planned event prior to scheduling my open house.

“We were visiting from out of state and Anna took care of our puppy Osa while we spent the day at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. This was our first experience with Rover so we were a bit nervous. Anna was great, she sent several pictures, Osa seemed happy when she was returned, and Anna was nice enough to drop her off in downtown Monterey so we didn't have to give up our parking spot when we were done with the aquarium.”
“Melissa was great at taking care of Dasher Ron short notice. She communicated with me throughout the day and sent pictures. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”

“Chris was very patient, flexible, accommodating, and understanding. We had last minute plans and needed someone to look after our Saint Bernard. We did a meet and greet and a daycare session to get her comfortable before we leave and he did a great job!”
“I contacted Connie in regards to an extended upcoming stay so we tested things out with a day of daycare. I couldn’t feel more comfortable or better with the thought of leaving our pup with her. I was sent updates and photos the entire day. Very fast communication and was great with all my questions and concerns. Highly recommend!”
“My dog Diego had never been in doggie daycare before and I was nervous to leave him. Also being a puppy, I felt bad knowing he doesn't always know his strength and when to go out. He was evidently a good dog, and I didn't have to come get him early. I highly recommend Eldeen!”
“I was so happy to find this sitter! We just adopted a rescue dog. He has a lot of anxiety. He needs special care while he is adjusting to his new home. Because of his anxiety he needs a low stimulation environment. She has been so good working with my dogs special needs! I can’t say enough good about her!! We are so grateful for the care she has given our dog!!”

About: Growing up with dogs all my life along with my animal science major I well versed in medication routines, early morning to late night potty breaks, special dietary needs to the ones who have been loved past their youth and need a little extra care.

About: Hi! I’m Cami, and I live in Fredericksburg with my husband, daughter, and our two cats. I’m a preschool teacher and have been caring for pets since I was 12 years old. Over the years, family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets while they’re away. I enjoy spending time with animals and understand how important it is to know they’re in good hands. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet and make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I’m currently on maternity leave, which allows me to be available full-time over the next few weeks for pet care, boarding, and drop-in visits. During the school year, I work as a full-time preschool teacher from 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., but I’m available before and after work, overnight, and on weekends. I’m happy to work around my teaching schedule to provide reliable care for your pets! We have plenty of space around our home for walks and outdoor time. Our two cats are very friendly and comfortable around other animals. I’m also able to accommodate crating if needed and can care for multiple pets when appropriate.

I’m experienced with feeding routines, daily walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and providing plenty of love and attention while owners are away. I can comfortably administer oral medications, perform basic grooming like brushing and wiping paws, and I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and routine. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Currently I am working from home which will allow for me to be as flexible as needed to watch all of your furry friends whenever necessary!

“Kimberly was great with Chase as always! She's great at communicating with us, both when things are going great and when things come up and some flexibility is needed. Her concern for Chase is the first priority and we really appreciate that. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! Taking care of animals has always been an enjoyment of mine. From helping lost or hurt animals to watching over pets, I'm always willing to take care of any animal. I regularly take care of stray cats and even took in a young pregnant one who needed the help. This resulted in me now having a bunch of kitties, they are all such sweethearts with their own personalities that I can't imagine life without them! I've also been dog sitting on and off for my neighbors and friends since I was 15, I have been the go to pet sitter for many in my circle these last few years. I pay special attention to their needs and make sure to follow any specific instructions given. I am more familiar with taking care of cats and dogs but I am open to looking after any animal! I adore all kinds As of right now I do work, my work schedule is slightly different each week, so a little flexibility might be needed to figure out the perfect time range for me to drop by and check on your pet!! I care for pets in my clients home by following any instructions given when it comes to the pets needs. I stay with them for as long as I can, giving them utmost attention and play time. I feed them on schedule and I am also able to give any oral medications as needed. I will do my very best to make sure your pet is happy and feels loved while you are away!
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats all my life and have always had pets since I was a kid. I’m really friendly with my friends’ pets and sometimes I’m more excited to see their pets than them😂. I’ve watched over some of my friends’ pets from time to time (cats and dogs). I have experience with both small dogs and large dogs as my one dog is a miniature dachshund, and my other is a Great Dane/German Shepherd Mix. I’m home from college so I’m free most of the day to care for pets whether it’s a walk, visit, to play, etc. I will be moving back to Richmond for college August 15th! I have family at home to watch my own pets so I can stop by and visit whenever if it’s at a reasonable time. I’m fairly perceptive of pet moods and, especially with cats, can tell when pets wanna be left alone or want to play. My pets all have different personalities so I can adapt fairly well to different personalities. I let pets out regularly and am down to play if they’re bored.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals and feel very comfortable handling pets with different needs and personalities. I currently work in recreational therapy twice a week, which has helped me develop patience, responsibility, and strong attention to detail skills that carry over into providing safe and attentive pet care. As an online college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time, consistency, an supervision they deserve. At home, our family has five dogs, so I am very familiar with managing multiple pets at once and maintaining consistent schedules. In addition to daily care, I have experience with overnight dog sitting that includes week-long stays where I handled feeding, walks, playtime and managing pet's normal routines. I have cared for puppies, senior dogs, and cats and I understand how to adjust care depending on energy level and age. I have also taken care of chickens while house sitting, so I am comfortable with a variety of animals beyond just dogs and cats. I am able to drive, which allies me to be available for drop ins, walks, and emergencies if needed. Overall, I am dedicated to making families feel safe with leaving their pets at home and making the pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work part time and am an online college student. I work Wednesday and Friday nights from 4pm-9pm. For my college classes I do not have to be on any type of zoom, so I do my course work at my own pace. I provide care in my clients home so pets can stay in a familiar, low-stress environment and maintain their normal routine. I follow all care instructions including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific preferences the owner provides. Safety is my top priority. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure and keep pets aware from anything that may be unsafe. I work to build trust with both owners and pets by being consistent, patient, and respectful of each pet's personality. I also have reliable transportation, so if an emergency does arise I can provide additional needs.
About: I have always had a soft spot for animals. I began working in the medical field but realized my heart was in the place to care for animals instead. I have my own "misfit farm" of unwanted animals and in my down time I am taking on dog walking/pet sitting. I am knowledgeable in many animals including dogs, cats birds, small animals, exotics and farm animals. I currently own a Great Pyrenees, Can Corso, Miniature dachshund, a cat plus 3 rescue goats, bunnies and a ton of chickens. I can also help with basic training and using an E collar. Medications or special needs animals is also something I am comfortable with. I do have kids who love to go on walks with me when I am dog walking, but it is not necessary for them to come with . My dog sitting calendar is filling up quickly! At this moment I am boarding dogs on a case by case basis so just reach out and we can chat! I am available for house sitting, however cannot accommodate regular overnight stays but can accommodate frequent and lengthy visits. I am a mom to 3, but am pretty much open and available for your needs. Hanging out with animals is a strong passion of mine and I often use the extra cash to do things with my kids. I cannot accommodate overnights in my house sitting but can offer lengthy and frequent visits I am available for walking, feeding, caring, loving and walking your babies of whatever species and breed. I am extremely responsible and comfortable with administering medication if need be and am very cautious when it comes to walking or letting the animal outside or when it comes to rules you have for your pet. There is very little I wouldn't be able to do, so little I can't even think of one at the moment. You can trust that I will love and care for your animals like they were my own. I can even show you pictures and videos of my very spoiled pets for reference!

I also like to send pics/videos of the pets to their owners daily for that reassurance that their fur baby is taken care of with the upmost care! I’m currently a full-time college student. I’m available any day and any time of the week. I’m usually available last minute as well and around holidays if needed. I currently have 4 dogs; 3 Yorkies and 1 Boarder Collie mix. They’re set on a twice per day feeding and their internal clock is set to those times. If I were to be in a clients home, I would do my best to ensure the animal stays in their routine and their feeding/medication is on schedule. They’d get plenty of play times and unlimited cuddles!

“Megan was super awesome when I had a bit of a time-crunch-crisis the day before my boarding reservation was about to start. (PSA: don’t do what I did and always make sure you map the location beforehand ?) She also was an amazing communicator while I was away and sent lots of photos/videos. Highly recommend!”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with Marco and Polo! From the moment we dropped them off, we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in caring and loving hands. She kept us updated, treated them like family, and clearly paid attention to their individual personalities and needs. Marco and Polo came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for — which says everything. Sarah went above and beyond, and her kindness and professionalism truly stood out. It’s hard to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, but Sarah made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and attentive sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you again, Sarah, for taking such wonderful care of our boys!”
“Finn and Fiona had a great time staying with Connie and her family. They kept my dogs busy and happily playing, which is not an easy task as Finn is a 6 month old lab! She sent tons of pictures and videos, so I was able to relax and know that our pups were doing great and having a mini vacation too. They even went for a walk to the park which can be quite an event as Finn is an enthusiastic leash walker. Both Finn and Fiona came home and promptly fell into an exhausted sleep :] I would recommend Connie as a pet sitter and plan to book another stay for Finn and Fiona for an upcoming trip we have in November. ”
“Connie was able to accommodate a last minute booking request. She took excellent care of my pups and sent many pics during their stay. I could tell they were happy and well taken care of! I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“We always try to book Traci when we’re leaving town. She is conscientious, flexible, and cheerful, and provides frequent updates with photos. We have no worries at all when we leave our pups with Traci. Our dogs love her, and she seems to really love them, too!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn't be happier with Seyla's pet sitting services. He provided multiple daily updates, including time-stamped videos and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our boys received plenty of exercise and were clearly well cared for—Seyla treated them as if they were his own. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable, attentive, and caring sitter. We will definitely be booking with him again!”
“Mickey and his family are awesome! They treat my my fur baby as if she was theirs. Love getting pictures and videos during her visits. The kennel will now only be used as my “back up” place. Highly recommend!”
“This was the absolute best experience with Nick and Yiqiuxi. The communication was daily with pictures. In each picture my puppy looked so happy and comfortable. They will definitely be his home away from home when I need to go out of town. I cant say Thank You enough!!”
“We were traveling and planned a last minute stop in DC and Mount Vernon. Cameron was able to watch our Luna for 2 nights while we got to enjoy the city and not worry about Luna and the heat. Plus, Luna had other 4 legged friends to hang with. Would definitely recommend and thank you for taking great care of Luna.”
“Morgan is truly a godsend! I cannot speak more highly about him. I was absolutely desperate to find a boarder for my grandmothers dogs as she had been hospitalized and her heat was not being paid due to memory issues. Our dogs of 10+ years were inside of the house without a caretaker and in a desperate plea for help, Morgan answered. Not only did he answer, but he moved around his schedule to get the dogs out of the house the next day. Due to the severity of the situation they had not been groomed , they were very matted and he even brought them to the groomers and back so that I could focus on an extremely important interview. He also sent lots of photos and videos that I was able to send to my grandmother during her recovery to make her feel better. I am so extremely grateful to have people like Morgan around. People like him give us faith in humanity again. ❤️”
“Lilian has been great with my puppy! She showed him so much love and care while in her care. We explained our concern about leaving him for the first time and she quickly put us at ease knowing he would be taken care of! Thank you so much! We look forward to booking again!”
“Chris has alway been amazing!!! Great communication and flexibility. This is our third or fourth time booking and it won’t be our last!!! Thank you so much for always taking good care of Gunner!!!”
“Anna was fantastic with my old dog! This was our first time using Rover and Anna made our first experience very pleasant. From the moment of request she was quick to communicate and ask questions to make sure she was the right fit for my 13 year old Labrador. My wife and I had a late notice trip we needed to take with odd flight times and tight layovers, that being said Anna was able to be flexible if our flights got delayed and even made sure that if anything unexpected helped with out return flight, my dog was going to be taken care of. She also was thorough of letting me know what information she needed for caring for my dog and what items we needed to send with her to better settle my dog into a new environment. Anna checked in daily with a quick message and photo of my dog’s stay which really helped us put our minds at ease. Thank you, Anna! You’re a lifesaver and Olive came home in great spirits!”
“Phillip was great with Bronx! We felt really comfortable leaving her with him and felt reassured throughout the weekend. He sent update pictures and let us know that she was doing ok. Bronx was a happy girl when we picked her up. Very communicative and overall great vibe! Will be using Phillip again.”
“This was my dogs second time with Tanita & Terrence and again, they were so great! They took him last minute and kept me updated on how he was doing; they always go the extra mile. Thanks again 😊♥️”
About: For us, pet care isn't a hobby—it’s a lifestyle. We've been inseparable from animals since childhood, spending both our formative years training and exploring with our own trusted companions. That childhood passion evolved into a lifelong commitment; today, my husband (Micah) and I are known by friends and family as the "pet whisperers." We have a natural instinct for animal body language and an innate ability to make even the most nervous pups feel right at home. Why Choose Our Home? When your dog stays with us, they aren't just being watched—they are joining our family. We offer: Lifelong Expertise: Decades of experience handling various breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. Training-Focused Play: I’ve carried my love for training into adulthood, meaning I’m happy to reinforce your house rules or practice basic commands during our play sessions. The Power of Two: With both my husband and me dedicated to your pet’s care, there is always a lap available for cuddles and an extra set of eyes on the yard. One of the best parts of staying with us is the built-in social life! We are proud parents to three well-socialized dogs who truly love making new friends. Because our three have such distinct personalities, we’ve found that almost any visiting guest finds a "soulmate" in our pack. There's the gentle soul (Dom), the endless playmaker (Milo) and the sweet social butterfly (Izzy). We’ve seen it time and time again—no matter the temperament, at least one (and usually all three!) of our dogs will inevitably click with your fur baby. They provide great company during the morning hours, ensuring your pet feels like a member of the family from the moment they walk through the door. Whether your dog is a high-energy explorer or a senior who just wants to sniff the country air, we provide a structured, loving environment where they can thrive while you're away. Your dog will never feel alone here! In the early morning hours, they’ll have our three social pups to keep them company and burn off energy. From lunchtime onwards, Micah works from home, meaning there is a human on-site for the majority of the day to oversee potty breaks, backyard explorations, and afternoon naps. We’ve found this routine works wonders for dogs who love having a pack to hang out with while still getting plenty of one-on-one human attention. We’ve carefully introduced many guest dogs to our trio, and we always ensure everyone is comfortable and safe before leaving them to bond. We have room to keep your pet separate but comfortable if they prefer their own space. 2-Acre Nature Retreat with Fenced Yard & In-Ground Pool! We believe that a vacation should be stress-free for both you and your pet. Our home is designed to be a haven where safety meets serenity. Safety & Serenity: Our home sits on 2 acres of stunning natural beauty, featuring a fully fenced-in (chain link) backyard. It’s the perfect blend of high-energy zoomies and peaceful nature watching. Whether your dog wants to sprint across the grass or simply observe the local birds from the shade, they can do so in a completely secure, enclosed environment. As lifelong pet owners, we are hyper-aware of safety. We perform regular perimeter checks of our fencing and ensure all gates are double-latched. Trust Through Instinct: We don't just watch dogs; we understand them. Our natural instincts with animals allow us to read subtle body language, helping us prevent stress before it starts and ensuring all interactions between our pack and your pup are positive and balanced. Environment: Your dog will never be relegated to a garage or a kennel. They will have full access to our living space, comfortable rugs for napping, and constant climate control. We treat our guests exactly like we treat our own three—as members of the family. Peace of Mind for You We know how hard it is to leave your pup behind. To ensure you feel as relaxed as your dog, we provide: Frequent Updates: Photo and video check-ins so you can see the "zoomies" in action. Transparent Communication: We are always just a text away if you want to check in on their behavior, appetite, or mood. Vetted Companionship: Our three resident dogs are fully vaccinated, well-socialized, and expert hosts. In addition to our large fenced in yard, we feature a large in-ground pool for our water-loving guests! Supervised Splashing: For dogs who love the water, the pool offers a fantastic way to cool off and get some low-impact exercise. Whether it’s fetching a floating toy or just wading on the steps, it’s always a highlight of the stay. Safety First: We take pool safety very seriously. Access to the pool area is strictly supervised at all times. If your dog isn't a swimmer or you prefer they stay dry, we ensure the pool area is off-limits during their outdoor play sessions so they can focus on the grass and trails instead. Post-Swim Care: If your pup does take a dip, we’re happy to give them a quick freshwater rinse and a towel dry so they stay fresh and comfortable when they head back inside.
“Tracy was outstanding! I’ve NEVER felt more comfortable leaving my Duke with anyone else as I did with Tracy. We received daily updates (pics/videos) of hun and it kept my mind at ease that our baby was being cares for. Thank you so much Tracy! You are a Godsend!”
“Sonja and Phil were very kind and welcoming. They did a great job making her feel at home and getting settled in. Sammi recently had spinal surgery, so they also ensured she was safe during her stay. Thank you so much for caring for my girl and also your rapid reasons to any inquires/messages.”
