“Tamara was great with Toby! She sent pictures of him every day during his stay! I can tell he was cared for as well as he is at home, and that he enjoyed his time with her! I have already rebooked with Tamara for my next trip! Thanks Tamara! :)”
“Leslie was awesome! She had Trapper for day care and kept him busy playing ball which he LOVES, and took him for a walk. He really enjoyed running around her backyard which is perfect for the dogs to run and play! She sent a lot of pictures and videos to let us know what our boy was up to. We are already planning our next booking!”
About: Hi! I’m Hope, a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet sitter offering in home dog boarding in a calm, family setting. I’m a stay at home mom to my two year old, so your dog will have constant supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. Our home is peaceful, loving, and ideal for dogs who enjoy being part of a family environment. We’re lucky to have a beautiful setup for pups: a fenced front yard/garden for safe outdoor time, plus an acre of land and nearby dog friendly trails for walks, sniffing, and exploring. Whether your dog loves playtime or prefers a slower pace, I tailor care to their needs and routine. Because I have a young child, I do require that all dogs are comfortable around children. Your dog will be treated like one of our own with plenty of love, structure, and attention so they feel safe, relaxed, and at home while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine since I’m a stay-at-home mom and home throughout the day. Your dog will be part of our everyday rhythm—morning outdoor time, walks, play, rest, and evening wind-down. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care without long gaps. Throughout the week, I keep a steady routine while also adjusting to each dog’s needs, energy level, and schedule. My goal is to create a calm, predictable environment where your dog feels comfortable and cared for like part of the family. I send lots of updates and pictures and follow all care instructions carefully! I want you to feel comfortable with your pet in my care!
“What an amazing experience! From the very beginning Kristen was so helpful! This was our very first experience using Rover, and also our first experience with leaving our precious Furbaby in someone else’s care! We drove all the way from Florida to visit Washington DC and unfortunately we were not able to bring Eleanor with us to the Smithsonian museums! Lol! So we were in need of someone to take care of her while we were sightseeing and I am so thankful that we found Kristen and her beautiful farm! We left Eleanor at the farm for three days, and it seems like she had a blast! Kristen was great with communicating even though I was a little neurotic about checking on Eleanor, she had no hesitation with reassuring me that Eleanor was in good hands, and well taken care of! I highly recommend her Kristen and her beautiful farm to anyone that needs their precious babies to be taken care of and loved just like they are when they at home!”
“Nova had another great stay with Dana! I loved that she continued to send lots of pictures and videos. She always ensures that Nova is comfortable and shows her so much love. Nova can’t wait to stay with her again!”
“Walter and his family are amazing! We are new pet owners and they let us come over for a meet and greet prior to booking to help calm our nerves. Our puppy was excited to be there with his caring children. He would give us updates with pictures and videos throughout her stay. When our flight was delayed and diverted to another airport, Walter was gracious enough to have her stay one more day. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl! We look forward to working with you and your beautiful family again soon!”
“Highly recommend Leah and Christopher for dog sitting! Finn felt right at home and loved running around their fenced yard. They were very helpful wi the my changing schedule and sent lots of pix of Finn! We will definitely ask to come back!”
“Chaoran did a great job looking after Pippin for us for 7 days. She dealt with his goofiness and adapted to meet his needs. She was patient with him, and most importantly Pippin was happy and healthy with her. Everything that we wanted her to do for Pippin she did, and she sent daily pictures / videos to us, so we could see him.”
“I felt extremely comfortable leaving our pups here! And I felt even better about it when I picked them up, I knew they had been taken care of. She sent photos every day and I just really had a good overall sense that they were well cared for. This is my first review since I started using Rover because I had nothing positive to say about our last pup-sitter. I would highly recommend Stacie.”
“Kalley was a fantastic pet sitter. She took such great care of my pup, and treated him as though he were one of their own. Highly, highly recommended if you are looking for a caring, positive environment for your pet while you are away. She sent pictures nearly every day with updates on how he was doing. Thank you Kalley! We will definitely reach out to you next time we have a need for pet sitting! ?”
“💕 Warm & Heartfelt Tara took such wonderful care of Peanut while I was away. I could tell right away that she treated her with so much love and attention. She and her family cared for my dog with so much love, as if Peanut were her own. Her kids were also so sweet and played so nicely with Peanut — it really made her stay extra special. She even surprised us with an adorable elephant toy and cookies for Peanut to take home, which was incredibly thoughtful. Peanut came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I feel so grateful to have found someone I can fully trust, and I would definitely recommend Tara to anyone looking for a loving and responsible sitter”
“First time visiting Northern VA, and we wanted to do some exploring in Washington DC for Memorial Day weekend. Nervous about having to leave our dogs in the hotel while we went out… we decided to give Rover a try and find a sitter! So glad we did! Upon meeting Katherine, I knew right away our two furbabies would be in the best of hands! We never once had a single worry while away! Perfect environment for our beagle and lab to explore and they enjoyed their other playmates too, because they are both wore out from their fun-filled weekend! If we are ever in this area again, we know who to call!! Thanks again!”
“Once again, Jaime and Mike did an incredible job caring for my dog, Banjo, while I was away. They're great about providing updates, and are such a lovely family—I could tell Banjo had the best time with them! Thank you!”
“Lauren, impressively on short notice, took my pup in for boarding and was remarkable with his care! I highly encourage anyone seeking pet assistance to consider Lauren for services & I plan to seek her services the next time my pup needs boarding.”
“Yzabella and her family took AMAZING care of Louie. She was so responsive and sent many photos and videos. I knew he was in great, caring hands. We will absolutely be using her services again very soon 😊”
“Yang took great care of my furbaby. She sent lots of photos and videos, which was greatly appreciated! My puppy came home smelling and looking her best! I will definitely be reaching out to book with her again!”
“We are repeat clients of Heather. She is our first choice for dog boarding not only because Lucky is well cared for while with her, but also because she takes the time to understand his personality and tendencies. We trust Heather to care for our family member!”
“First time in a while that I've had to have someone else take care of my older dog. Courtney took great care and was accommodating to our needs. Dropping off my Kali, I felt comforted knowing she was in good hands.”

I could really feel better as I travelled because I knew my cat was taken care of. 1000% recommend and I will definitely book with Charlotte again.”
“My kitty Matilda just loves Lauren! Lauren takes the best care of my kitty. My friends always volunteer to watch Matilda for free. But I politely decline and call Lauren! Thank you so much for taking such good care of my lil kitty!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs of various ages, sizes, and temperaments. My approach is patient, attentive, and tailored to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means keeping up with an energetic puppy or providing gentle, consistent care for senior pets. What sets me apart is my focus on both routine care and emotional comfort. I’m comfortable with puppy basics like crate training, leash manners, and reinforcing good behavior through positive reinforcement. For senior pets, I pay close attention to mobility, medication schedules, and any special dietary or health needs, ensuring they stay comfortable and stress-free. I’m reliable with feeding schedules, walks, litter box maintenance, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. I also prioritize communication with pet parents, providing regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.

“We had a wonderful experience with Kate! She did a fantastic job with our puppy and treated him with so much care and attention. It was obvious right away that she genuinely loves animals, and we felt completely comfortable leaving him in her hands. We’ll absolutely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, kind, and great with puppies!”
“Amy did an amazing job- being patient with our two cats and addressing their individual personalities and care needs while we were away. It was so nice to be able to relax knowing she was checking in on them. We highly recommend her services!”

“Cara is the best! She is prompt and professional and her kind and calming presence made our Daisy take to her right away. Daisy absolutely loves her and we are so happy to have found her! Thank you!”
About: I grew up on a mini farm surrounded by animals — from lizards and hermit crabs to dogs, cats, horses, and chickens. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and needs, from anxious puppies and kittens to senior dogs with health or mobility challenges, as well as cats with special needs. Every pet in my care receives the same love and attention I would give my own. I’m available to provide flexible care around errands and appointments, giving your pets love, attention, playtime, companionship, and comfort throughout the day, tailored to each pet’s needs. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines carefully to ensure comfort and familiarity. Pets are supervised at all times, with fresh water, treats, and attention. I maintain feeding schedules, potty breaks, and playtime, adapting to any special needs, mobility issues, or anxieties. Safety, consistency, and love are my priorities, so your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away. In my home, I introduce pets safely, separating them from my own during initial meetings. I provide a secure space for each pet and use mini fencing to ensure safety, even though my property is not fully fenced. I follow the same level of care and safety as I would in your home.

“Jessica was wonderful. She made everything easy for us. Met us when we drove up. Made Cocoa feel comfortable. She took her for a walk with her own dogs. She sent photos during the day. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Lauren was a great sitter! She was very conscientious about making Max’s stay comfortable for him and checked in with me throughout the day. I would definitely have her watch him again”
“Our pups had a wonderful time with Leslie. I knew they would when we did a meet-n-greet. She is a loving dog person and they knew it right away. Her home is beautiful and accommodates dogs - lots of toys, blanket to snuggle in or rest next to Leslie on sofa. Backyard is big and fenced in - a doggies dream backyard. Leslie sent fun pictures and kept us up-to-date on their potty breaks. She walked the pups on a walking trails near her home which my dogs loved. Hopefully next time they will get to see the Canadian geese which visit the local pond regularly. We are so excited that Leslie has started Rover sitting — she is a gem and we are already signing up for another daycare sitting. 🙏🐾❤️”
“Breezy had an absolute ball! She came home tired and Wendy sent tons of photos and videos. It’s so relaxing to know that she was safe and sound all day. Not to mention, she had tons of fun! Wendy was very responsive and answered all my questions. She really went above and beyond to make breezy comfortable and give her a fun filled day!”
“Jeanetta and her family are amazing. I just dropped our puppy off for daycare today and she could not wait to get inside. She went running when the door was opened and didn't look back for me. My Mia loves all of the attention she gets and comes home happy and exhausted. She is a hard dog to wear out but they always wear her out and keep her happy!”
“Jordan was amazing! I plan to book her again if available! I can tell my pup was excited & happy with his doggy daycare visits. Not only did she accept my last minute booking, but she was open and very negotiable with pick uo & drop off times. She frequently sent pics, walked my pup multiple time a day & had no doubts leaving my dog in her care. Would highly encourage anyone to consider booking her for pet services!”
“Stephanie and her family are phonenominal! My dog had her first visit yesterday and was happy and tired from playing with their awesome dog, who is now her new best friend. I can't say enough about how Stephanie and her family went far above and beyond the call of duty yesterday, for us! I can't give this dog loving family enough accolades!”
“Chloe is always so excited to go and stay with Leah and Chris! These stays we're just 3 hours to get her acclimated for a full day stay on the 12th. We now have no reservations about that at all. Thank you Leah and Chris! 😊”
“Peyton and Chloe were very kind and accommodating! We had a wedding where our dog was our ringbearer but we could not have him at the venue during the reception. They were kind enough to come pick him up during cocktail hour! It was our first time on rover but they made our day and everything so easy!! Would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter!”
“My dog is very shy and has separation anxiety but Sarah made her feel right at home. I could see from the pictures and videos just how great of a time she was having. I’ll definitely be brining her back!”

About: I love animals and have volunteered at Middleburg Humane Shelter and fostered for them for the past 5 years. My favorite types of dogs are larger working dogs, but the smaller pups require a more delicate skill set that I'm thrilled to provide. I have experience with dog training and am able to be as strict or lax with your pets as you'd prefer. I have open availability for pet care, especially when approached with a job further in advance. That being said, I do keep pretty regular hours and have plenty of time so I love my last minute clients too! I have two cats and a German Shepherd mix! I have experience with dogs, cats, smaller mammals, and horses! My sister and I do some agility work with the pup, and I love to take my cats on day trips with me- they both walk on a leash! I'm happy to send you all the pictures in the world of your animals while I'm with them, report to you the exact mileage of walks, and love to snuggle on the couch with them if I'm house-sitting. I don't mind if you have cameras in your house to watch your pets; I just appreciate being told in advance.

About: What sets me apart as a dog walker and pet sitter is my deep passion for dogs and my commitment to their well-being. I bring several special skills to the table that make me an exceptional choice for your furry friend: Puppy Training Expertise: I have extensive experience in training puppies, helping them develop into well-behaved and socialized dogs. Whether it's basic obedience commands, leash training, or potty training, I can provide the guidance and consistency needed to nurture your puppy's growth. Senior Dog Care: I understand the unique needs of senior dogs, including mobility issues, dietary restrictions, and the importance of gentle exercise. I'm equipped to offer the extra care and attention required to ensure their comfort and happiness. Tailored Exercise Programs: I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to dog walking. I'll customize exercise routines to suit your dog's age, breed, and energy level, ensuring they get the right amount of physical and mental stimulation during our walks. Safety First: Your pet's safety is my top priority. I'm certified in pet first aid and CPR, and I use the latest safety equipment and best practices during walks. Rest assured, your dog will be in capable hands. Love and Affection: Beyond the skills and training, what truly sets me apart is the genuine love and affection I have for all dogs. I treat each furry companion as if they were my own, providing not only physical care but also emotional support and companionship.

When you choose me as your dog walker and pet sitter, you're not just hiring someone to take care of your dog; you're gaining a dedicated, knowledgeable, and caring partner who will go the extra mile to ensure your pet's happiness and well-being. I am working full-time position from home and am looking to use my time in the evenings and weekends to help other pets get their exercise and gain enrichment. I walk my own dogs during my lunch break on the weekdays and take them for longer walks to the creek on the weekends. For Dog Walking Services in the client's home: Meet and Greet: Before any service begins, I like to schedule a meet and greet with the client and their pet(s). This helps me get to know the pet's personality, any specific needs or quirks they have, and allows the client to feel comfortable with me. Leash Walks: During the scheduled walk, I ensure that the dog gets the exercise they need. Walks are tailored to the dog's energy level and physical abilities. I always carry waste disposal bags to clean up after the dog. Fresh Water and Treats: I make sure to provide fresh water for the dog after the walk, and if allowed by the client, I may offer treats as a reward for good behavior. Safety and Supervision: While in my care, safety is paramount. I keep a watchful eye on the dog, ensuring they stay on a leash and away from potential hazards. For Pet Sitting Services in the client's home: Daily Visits: I visit the client's home as many times as required to ensure the pet's comfort. This typically includes feeding, changing water, and providing companionship. Medication Administration: If the pet requires medication, I follow the client's instructions precisely, ensuring the pet receives their medication on time. Playtime and Exercise: I engage in playtime activities with the pet to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. This could involve playing fetch, puzzle toys, or just some cuddle time. Regular Updates: I keep the client informed by sending updates and photos of their pet, giving them peace of mind while they're away.
About: (Brand new to Rover) I’ve been around animals since the day I was born, and dogs have always felt like big, goofy, furry toddlers — full of personality, joy, and chaos in the best way. I currently live in an anti‑pet apartment (tragic, I know), so I’m looking to fill that dog‑shaped hole in my heart by being the next best thing: your pup’s reliable walking and hiking buddy. I’m an active, outdoorsy person who loves long walks, trails, and exploring. Whether your dog is a tiny ball of energy or a large, gentle giant, I’m comfortable with all sizes, temperaments, seniors, and puppies. I’m patient, confident, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s quirks. What I offer: Long walks or trail hikes for high‑energy pups Picture updates so you can see their adventures Flexible scheduling — I’m a teacher on summer break, so I’m wide open With a friendly, upbeat personality, your dog will warm up quickly If your dog needs exercise, company, or just someone who treats them like the lovable toddler they are, I’d love to help. Let’s get your pup out exploring and having fun. As a teacher on summer break, pet care fits naturally and easily into my weekly routine. I’m active every day, walking, hiking, or spending time outdoors, so adding a dog to that rhythm feels like the most joyful part of my schedule. I have plenty of flexibility, which means I can plan walks around your dog’s needs rather than squeezing them into a tight window. (ADDITION: Until May 30th, I can only walk dogs on weekends because of my teaching and coaching schedule) Since I live in an anti‑pet apartment, all of my care happens in your home or out on the trail. I treat every dog like the big furry toddler they are, with patience, structure, and a lot of enthusiasm. Here’s what my care typically looks like: Consistent routines: I follow your feeding, walking, and potty schedule exactly as you prefer. Active outings: long walks or trail hikes for dogs who need to burn energy, or gentle strolls for seniors. Safety first: secure leashing, checking gear, watching for heat, and keeping a close eye on body language. Clean and respectful home care: wiping paws, refreshing water, tidying up any messes, and leaving your home exactly as I found it. Photo updates: I send regular pictures so you can see your pup’s adventures and feel connected while you’re away. Calm companionship: whether your dog is tiny and energetic or large and mellow, I match their vibe and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Because I’m free all summer, I can offer flexible scheduling, longer walks, and extra attention, especially for dogs who thrive on activity and routine.
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I’m comfortable with boarding, walks, drop-ins, feeding, meds, playtime, and senior pups who need a little extra love. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and can fit in visits when your pets need them. I can usually accommodate same-day or last-minute drop-ins, and I’ll make sure your pets get attention on your timetable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment for every visit. I follow all your instructions carefully, from feeding to exercise routines, and will treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. You can trust me to keep their space safe, maintain their routine, and give you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have loved dogs and pets for as long as I can remember! I have never gone longer than a few months without a dog in my life and don't think I ever will. I am a 6th grade teacher during the school year, but am looking to help families who do not have the luxury of summers off to create a fun, healthy, and loving experience for their pets during the work day. I have experience taking care of dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages: from puppies (8 weeks) to elderly (16 years). I have had Chihuahuas, terriers, English Bulldogs, labs, Bull Mastiffs, Shih Tzus, Dobermans and am currently a proud owner of a 3 year old Olde English Bulldog named Luna. I can promise you that with me, your pets will have one more person that loves and cares for them as much as you do! I am currently off for the summer, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pup! I am available early mornings through early evenings for drop-ins or walks. I always like to do a meet and greet with every client and their pup(s) to ensure all needs will be met for the dog and owner. As I am coming to your home, my goal is to ensure that you are comfortable and feel safe entrusting me with the care of your pet!
About: *I’m willing to pick up/drop off or meet to assist with getting your pets to my home if it is more convenient for your schedule** I've been taking care of dogs since the age of 12, I'm now 29. It started with local dogs and cats in the neighborhood I grew up in to now doing it as a side gig and it has been the best decision I have ever made. I love the different types of dogs I get and all of the different personalities. I have yet to host a dog that didn't enjoy the walks, playing and cuddling provided at my house. I have experience with bathing, boarding, walking, feeding and shuttling to the vet. I love dogs of all breeds and sizes and can ensure you that they will have so much fun and love provided at my house, that they will never know you were gone :) Currently I have availability to board during the week, Monday through Friday and on the weekend 24/7 - as I am home & can accommodate any potty break schedule. . I accept early morning/late night drop offs and pick ups and am willing to meet you or pick up your pet if it is more convenient for your schedule. I have plenty of room run as well as two very spoiled and friendly dogs of my own. Both of my personal dogs can be crated if needed, as I introduce new animals slowly to mine to ensure they start off on good terms. All animals that come to my home will get plenty of love and making sure they are comfortable is my top priority.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and done training and dog walking in a shelter as a volunteer. I love getting dogs outside and letting them run around. I have been hiking with my dog for his entire life and was able to train him on the leash and off the leash to allow us to have the freedom to run free and the ability to get him on the leash and behave around other dogs and people on the road and on the trails. I have been dog sitting for the last 8 years and love spending time with all the pups. I can’t wait to take care of animals and give them the necessary play time and exercise when you’re not there to. I keep my schedule updated to where I am unavailable when I work to allow for your pets to get the utmost care. However I am willing to work with you around my work schedule! I have experience with reactive dogs and I will keep your dog safe and on a leash unless in a fenced in yard. I prefer staying at the dogs home to help them stay comfortable

“Leslie was awesome! She had Trapper for day care and kept him busy playing ball which he LOVES, and took him for a walk. He really enjoyed running around her backyard which is perfect for the dogs to run and play! She sent a lot of pictures and videos to let us know what our boy was up to. We are already planning our next booking!”
About: Hi! I’m Hope, a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet sitter offering in home dog boarding in a calm, family setting. I’m a stay at home mom to my two year old, so your dog will have constant supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. Our home is peaceful, loving, and ideal for dogs who enjoy being part of a family environment. We’re lucky to have a beautiful setup for pups: a fenced front yard/garden for safe outdoor time, plus an acre of land and nearby dog friendly trails for walks, sniffing, and exploring. Whether your dog loves playtime or prefers a slower pace, I tailor care to their needs and routine. Because I have a young child, I do require that all dogs are comfortable around children. Your dog will be treated like one of our own with plenty of love, structure, and attention so they feel safe, relaxed, and at home while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine since I’m a stay-at-home mom and home throughout the day. Your dog will be part of our everyday rhythm—morning outdoor time, walks, play, rest, and evening wind-down. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care without long gaps. Throughout the week, I keep a steady routine while also adjusting to each dog’s needs, energy level, and schedule. My goal is to create a calm, predictable environment where your dog feels comfortable and cared for like part of the family. I send lots of updates and pictures and follow all care instructions carefully! I want you to feel comfortable with your pet in my care!
“What an amazing experience! From the very beginning Kristen was so helpful! This was our very first experience using Rover, and also our first experience with leaving our precious Furbaby in someone else’s care! We drove all the way from Florida to visit Washington DC and unfortunately we were not able to bring Eleanor with us to the Smithsonian museums! Lol! So we were in need of someone to take care of her while we were sightseeing and I am so thankful that we found Kristen and her beautiful farm! We left Eleanor at the farm for three days, and it seems like she had a blast! Kristen was great with communicating even though I was a little neurotic about checking on Eleanor, she had no hesitation with reassuring me that Eleanor was in good hands, and well taken care of! I highly recommend her Kristen and her beautiful farm to anyone that needs their precious babies to be taken care of and loved just like they are when they at home!”
“Nova had another great stay with Dana! I loved that she continued to send lots of pictures and videos. She always ensures that Nova is comfortable and shows her so much love. Nova can’t wait to stay with her again!”
“Chaoran did a great job looking after Pippin for us for 7 days. She dealt with his goofiness and adapted to meet his needs. She was patient with him, and most importantly Pippin was happy and healthy with her. Everything that we wanted her to do for Pippin she did, and she sent daily pictures / videos to us, so we could see him.”
“I felt extremely comfortable leaving our pups here! And I felt even better about it when I picked them up, I knew they had been taken care of. She sent photos every day and I just really had a good overall sense that they were well cared for. This is my first review since I started using Rover because I had nothing positive to say about our last pup-sitter. I would highly recommend Stacie.”
“💕 Warm & Heartfelt Tara took such wonderful care of Peanut while I was away. I could tell right away that she treated her with so much love and attention. She and her family cared for my dog with so much love, as if Peanut were her own. Her kids were also so sweet and played so nicely with Peanut — it really made her stay extra special. She even surprised us with an adorable elephant toy and cookies for Peanut to take home, which was incredibly thoughtful. Peanut came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I feel so grateful to have found someone I can fully trust, and I would definitely recommend Tara to anyone looking for a loving and responsible sitter”
“First time visiting Northern VA, and we wanted to do some exploring in Washington DC for Memorial Day weekend. Nervous about having to leave our dogs in the hotel while we went out… we decided to give Rover a try and find a sitter! So glad we did! Upon meeting Katherine, I knew right away our two furbabies would be in the best of hands! We never once had a single worry while away! Perfect environment for our beagle and lab to explore and they enjoyed their other playmates too, because they are both wore out from their fun-filled weekend! If we are ever in this area again, we know who to call!! Thanks again!”
“Once again, Jaime and Mike did an incredible job caring for my dog, Banjo, while I was away. They're great about providing updates, and are such a lovely family—I could tell Banjo had the best time with them! Thank you!”
“Lauren, impressively on short notice, took my pup in for boarding and was remarkable with his care! I highly encourage anyone seeking pet assistance to consider Lauren for services & I plan to seek her services the next time my pup needs boarding.”
“We are repeat clients of Heather. She is our first choice for dog boarding not only because Lucky is well cared for while with her, but also because she takes the time to understand his personality and tendencies. We trust Heather to care for our family member!”
“First time in a while that I've had to have someone else take care of my older dog. Courtney took great care and was accommodating to our needs. Dropping off my Kali, I felt comforted knowing she was in good hands.”
“Michelle took excellent care of my Chance. She sent pics and videos and updates which I truly appreciated. I would definitely recommend her and take my Chance back. He loved it there.”
“Jennifer was very quick to respond and sent me lots of pictures of my pup 😁 which I really appreciated and made me feel better since it was our first time using her. We will be doing it again. 🫶🏼”
“Bodie absolutely loves the time he gets to spend with Cori and her family. He loves being treated as one of the family. Pixie can be a handful, especially when there’s another dog present, but Cori is able to handle her craziness with ease. Cori is very communicative during the stay and easy to work with. I always feel comfortable leaving the pups in her care.”
“Katelyn was amazing. Very attentive. Reached out to us everyday with pictures and videos. Great communication throughout the whole visit. Our dogs loved her. Very easy to work with. We did an initial visit then she agreed to watch on the spot. April, her dog, is amazing as well. We will definitely go with her again!”
“Great Boarder. I highly recommend them. My dog usually has separation anxiety and nervous around other dogs, but he was happy and got along well with the other dogs. They provided a lot of pictures and videos during his stay, so I could relax knowing that he was well taken care of. Definitely will rebook in the future.”
