Personalized care for your dog or cat - Illahee
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Illahee
“Max had a fabulous time with Alisha and Joshua. They kept me updated with photos and texts and were fast to respond to my messages. I would happily ask them to sit Max again.”
“Steven and Rachel took great care of Daisy! They sent us plenty of updates and responded quickly to any questions. Daisy had a blast playing with their Daisy and they took care of her additional health requests. We’ll definitely ask them to watch her again the next time we go on a trip :)”
“I am living for a few months near Poulsbo and needed to find a dog sitter in the area. I connected with Brianna and we visited briefly before my trip. I immediately felt comfortable with her. She took great care of Romeo, sent me photos and updates and was easy to communicate with. My dog is small and he got along with their much larger dog. I highly recommend Brianna as a caring dog sitter.”
“James was great! We only gave him a six-day notice but he was able to do a meet & greet and book us within that time frame. Our dogs hadn't been boarded since they were a few months old so they were a little anxious and nervous, but I felt like they were in good hands while we were away for several days. Very reasonable cost. If your dog(s) can be left alone for the work day, I recommend.”
“Christie was a wonderful host to our 2 pugs. This was out first Rover experience and we could not have been happier. Christie sent us pictures and updates every day and even sent us home with portraits that will have us laughing and enjoying for years. We definitely plan to have Christie watch our babies again. They had so much fun and were very loved.”
“I think Reggie had a blast! He was a happy, tired camper when he came home. I think he thoroughly enjoyed being part of the family and going on all the walks and having multiple kids to play with!”
“This was Shadow's second stay with Jenn and he was so excited upon arrival I don't think he noticed when I left. I got plenty of pictures and updates and Shadow look like he's having a great time. I highly recommend Jenn.”
“Really wonderful communication and care! Pendry came home pooped from all the play time!! I think he had the time of his life! Thank you so much!”
“Matthew provided excellent care for our dog Basil and frequent updates while we were out of town. When Basil got sick unexpectedly, he took him to the vet twice, made homemade chicken and rice, and helped administer medicine. This was a huge relief to us and his care was above and beyond! We would definitely use Matthew again to board and care for Basil”
“Awesome pet sitter, treated our pup like his own. Great communication and very inviting. Our pup didn’t want to leave. Definitely top tier pet sitter he’s worth the money!”
“This was our second time having Casie care for our pups. She remembered details from their first visit to keep them comfortable while in her care. She's a great communicator and, most importantly, our pups are excited to see her.”
“Peter was great with our dog. He sent pictures each day and told us how everything was going. Our dog got along with his dogs. We will use him again when we need him to care for our dog.”
“Lorelei treated my dogs like her own. She watched them for a week for me and I felt completely at ease the entire time I was away. She sent me photos and updates on a daily basis and went above and beyond to make them comfortable. I highly recommend her.”
“Cara was great! She sent multiple pics and updates throughout the day letting me know how Gus was doing. Gus got lots of walks, cuddles, and play time with her two Corgis. Thank you, Cara!”
“Kyah was really great with my two dogs. She sent lots of pictures and videos and my dogs warmed up to her quickly. I have one dog that can get nervous around larger dogs, but Kyah’s German shepherd is very sweet and respectful of my dog’s boundaries. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who friends and family regularly trust to care for their pets while they travel. I have two friendly golden retrievers who truly love other dogs and are gentle, playful, and well-socialized. I’m experienced with a wide range of personalities—from high-energy pups who need lots of playtime to senior dogs who prefer a calm, cozy environment. I treat every dog as if they were my own, paying close attention to routines, feeding schedules, medications, and individual quirks. Your dog will enjoy plenty of love, supervised play, and a safe, comfortable home where they’re never just “watched,” but genuinely cared for. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and a calm, structured environment. I’m available for both short-notice needs and bookings well in advance as you plan your travels. My goal is to be your go-to sitter whenever you need reliable, loving care. I have a large fully fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized golden retrievers who enjoy playing in the backyard by a game of chase and/or fetch. I closely monitor playtime and all interactions, follow each dog’s routine, and can crate, separate, or provide quiet space if needed in order to keep all dogs in my care stress/free, comfortable and happy. Safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities. This isn’t just a place where you drop your dog for the day or for a trip. It’s a calm, loving environment where dogs feel safe and loved while you’re away. I choose thoughtful exercise and enrichment to keep them happy and give them plenty of opportunities to burn energy and excitement.
“Tanya is wonderful! She cared for our puppy as if it were her own. Sent pictures of him playing with her dog and being pampered. She is fantastic and I would book with her again in a heartbeat!”

“Anna was perfect! My two kitties so appreciated her visits and I appreciated coming home to happy girls! Anna was punctual everyday even w the holiday and bad weather and very communicative. I'd use Anna again without hesitation :)”
“I’m so thankful to have found such good folks to look in on my little one. David and Lisa were professional, reliable and kept me updated daily with great photos. I highly reccomend them!”
“I felt confident that Mya was taking good care of my cat while I was out of town. I know she tried very hard to follow my directions for my senior kitty with rather complicated dietary needs, and Tootise seemed to warm up quickly to Mya.”
“Jennifer is our go to sitter for when we are out of town! She always lets us know how our kitty is doing and sends cute pictures! I would highly recommend Jennifer if your furry friend needs someone to visit them!”
“Bailey was excellent! I tend to leave very specific instructions, and Bailey followed them to a tee! My feeders have a light that indicates that they’re working properly and I said “bonus points if the rover pic has the lights on” and every single rover card had a picture with the lights on!! Really allows me to feel like my cats are in good hands when I leave. Also this was a very last-minute trip and Bailey was fast to respond, and available for key pick up before I left. 5/5 for sure!”
“Lisa is a treasure!! She took wonderful care of our shy kitty for 2 weeks while we were traveling abroad. She kept in contact and gave great updates, and got our usually shy cat to come out and play. I'll absolutely re book with Lisa for future travels.”
“Julie is awesome! She’s watched my boys grow up and now they are good friends. I feel totally comfortable leaving home a few days knowing i have a reliable person to care for my pets. So much better than pestering friends and family, if you are lucky enough to have those nearby.”
“Very thankful for the great care from Steven and Rachel! My puppy needed some extra attention after a recent surgery and they were so patient, accommodating and caring to my pup. Good communication and were flexible to my pups needs. Will book again!”
“Jordan was amazing!! She sent daily updates with plenty of pictures and followed all the instructions we left. We will definitely book with her in the future & I highly recommend her!”
“They had incredible service, great communication, and were incredibly kind. Thank you guys so much for your time with our boys! It means everything to us, and we will definitely utilize your services again if need be. Thank you again!”
About: I'm reliable and I've taken care of a twenty or so different cats. If your cat needs time to warm up to a sitter, I will sit with them for several hours. If they don't like strangers, I will feed them, take care of their litterbox and ensure they're drinking water; I will not harass your cat. If your cat likes booty pats, I will pat them. My own cat really liked booty pats.
About: “If I could be half the person my dog is, I’d be twice the human I am.” –Charles Yu Hi, I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of experience caring for pets—11 of those years professionally. I've cared for everything from sled dog teams to horses to chickens but dogs are truly my passion, and there’s nothing I enjoy more than spending my days walking, boarding, and providing them with the love and attention they deserve. I am currently certified in Dog Massage, Dog Training Methods to Stop Barking, and Pet Choking. My home is a doggy playground, complete with two fenced yards (one in front and one in back) for playtime and located right next to the beautiful trails of Illahee Park for long, scenic walks. Dogs are allowed on couches and beds here - your furry friend will feel right at home with me! Boarding and House sitting bookings come with a framed fantasy pet portrait of your pet(s) so if you have a preference for your pet paw-trait, please let me know! A little more about us: My husband and I moved here from Issaquah when we bought our first home in Bremerton in July 2023. I didn't bring my clients with me because of the distance, even though I wish I could have! I "retired" at that time from dog sitting but we started doing it again occasionally for friends, neighbors, and family and we realized how much we really missed doing it! We love it here in Kitsap County. So, while I'm not new to professional pet care, I'm newish to the Rover platform - if you have any concerns about my pricing or availability, please don’t hesitate to reach out. My rates reflect the quality of care I provide and are set to ensure my services are worthwhile. That said, I understand the Rover platform can occasionally create confusion, so I’m happy to discuss any unique circumstances you may have. As a freelance graphic designer working from home, I have the flexibility and freedom to dedicate plenty of quality time to caring for pets, whether that be in my home, or at yours. Boarding and Housesitting bookings come with a framed fantasy pet paw-trait of your pet(s). I have two friendly dogs at home who love company and are always up for playtime. They spend a lot of time having fun in our yard, but we also enjoy occasional trips to the local off-leash park. For more adventurous outings, we take longer hikes through the beautiful trails at Illahee and Dickerson, giving them plenty of exercise and exploration.
“My cat Pusheen had the best care from Jessica. It was my first time boarding!!! I highly recommend her services! Traveling solo can be stressful but as far as my sweet kitty being in the best of hands? No worries! Will Definitely be using her sevices again! Thank you!”
About: I will treat your pups with as much care and respect that I gave to my 3 spoiled dachshunds. They’ve all crossed the rainbow bridge but I still have a lot of love to give. As a full-time pet care provider who has been on Rover for 10+ years and taken care of 80+ cats and dogs, I have experience with all sizes ranging from Teacup Yorkies to Great Danes. My goal is to give you peace of mind during your vacation. I have pet care insurance in case of any emergencies and am quick to respond to any situations that may arise. I understand the higher level of patience and care needed for puppies, seniors, or reactive dogs. For that reason, I only board dogs from the same household to ensure your pet’s safety. I am really looking forward to meeting new clients and your wonderful pets. Pet care is my full time job! I aim to accommodate your pet’s schedule and normal routine as closely as possible. I also offer constant care if your pet cannot be left alone for longer periods of time. I have no pets or children in the home. I have a designated dog couch, ramps for those who need assistance, and gates to separate pets during mealtime or prevent them from going upstairs. While I do not have a fenced yard, I can still take your pets out for multiple short walks or play fetch at a local park.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Illahee
“Brianna was great, ready for our arrival and Mila took to her just fine. I put a lot of stock into how my Pup greets someone, and it was very comfortable. I appreciate that the house was close to where I needed to be and the calendar was open. Thank you for taking care of my girl”
“Thanks to Cara we had a wonderful first-time experience on Rover. Yoshi did his first Rover doggy day care and he had a blast. Cara took great care of him and her little girls took to Yoshi. He came home and promptly passed out. Expecting a lot more play dates in the near future. It's awesome to find another Corgi Mom. Thank you, Cara, for welcoming Yoshi into your home. We loved the photos you sent to us throughout the day and hope to add more memories.”
“Mac & Rocky had a great time at Christina's house, and we love her "pack", Finn and Dante. Christina is super-professional, inspires confidence, and kept us posted on how our guys were doing. We really appreciate her!”
“We are traveling from the San Francisco Bay Area visiting friends. Kristina and her family welcomed Dusty with open arms and loving hearts! We were able to leave Dusty with out worry. They are the best!!”
“Emily has the setup when it comes to caring for dogs. Our pup, Bowie, was picked up both days happy as can be. Emily updated us throughout the day with pictures and engaged with Bowie with some of his favorite games, tug and Frisbee. He even made other dog friends! What more can you ask for. I'm handsdown booking with Emily/ Pacific Paws again ☺️”
“Cathleen was so friendly and helpful- taking care of our pups with just a few day's notice when we wanted to visit the island. She made Vivi and Bijou feel comfortable and at home- as evidenced by the photos of them relaxing and snoozing without a care. We were so glad to find her and wouldn't hesitate to have our pups stay with her again.”
“Baloo had a great time with Valerie! She was prompt in responses and offered a meet and greet before we dropped him off on a holiday! She took great care of him and was very flexible with us.”
“Muggzy had a great day with Trenton and Jordan! They genuinely seemed to enjoy him and understand his needs. He didn’t want to leave! We hope to have him visit there often.”
“It was my first time trying out a sitter for Wee and I was very nervous, but Steven and Rachel completely alleviated that worry with frequent updates, photos and genuine care for my pup. When I next need a sitter, Wee will definitely be staying with them. Thank you Steven and Rachel! :)”
“Booked a few days prior to sitting, Robin was quick to respond. During the sitting, I was provided photos and updates throughout the day which I really appreciated. THANK YOU SO MUCH!”
“Amazing sitter. Could not have asked for a more professional and dedicated person who genuinely cares for dogs and went above and beyond what we have seen in sitter. Highly recommend as a sitter and will keep her in mind for next time.”
“Karl was a great host for our 6 month old puppy who needed lots of interaction with people. He worked with our schedule and made sure Albie felt at home from the moment he was dropped off to pick up. The whole family interacted with Albie, giving a balanced amount of play vs rest so I picked up a happy calm puppy.”
“Khayl was amazing with my brand new puppy. She kept me up to date and sent videos during his visit. I would tell from the videos how well cared for he was and I will most certainly use her services again. A+++, you will be so happy with the care that she provides! Thank you again Khayl 💓”
“Storm loves coming here when we're in town and I'm pretty sure zi and her pup feel the same way about storm. Always huge smiles and quick tail wags when they see each other. Always contact her first when in the area, highly recommend.”
About: We both grew up with dogs and have fostered 4 times. We currently own a 3 year old rescue pup. We’ve cared for the smallest of dog breeds (Havanese and Boston Terrier) to the largest of breeds (Labs/retrievers, German shepherds, Belgian malinois, pit bulls, etc) so we’re comfortable with all dogs! I work from home, so I’m available all day every day to play and take care of your pups! We’re open to boarding every day of the week. We do have a 3 year old Lab/Border Collie mix, so your dog must be good with other dogs. I will treat your dogs just like my own! We do live in an apartment, but I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks and playtime. I have a friendly dog that would love to keep your pup company :) I’m also comfortable crating dogs if that’s something you need!
About: I have had pets my entire life dogs, cats, rabbits and horses. I am comfortable around every type of dog, however prefer to sit smaller dogs up to 25lbs. I have a mini dachshund who is 16 years old, who misses having friends around. I am familiar with puppies through seniors. I do work from home 4 days a week. Currently I have an unfenced yard, I use retractable leashes to maintain safety when outside. Your fur-baby will get daily walks and plenty of love. I work from home 4 days a week, giving me the opportunity to give your pet plenty of attention in an adults only home with one dog for companion time. We do daily walks around the neighborhood, in a wooded area or at Manchester state park. I don’t currently have a fenced yard, outdoor time will be on retractable leashes for potty breaks, time on the fenced deck, and daily walks using your pets regular leash. Should pets need to be left home unattended I will ensure everyone is in safe, separate locations close enough companionship but not mischief. Safety and well cared for is my goal.

“We so appreciate Jessica’s willingness to help our doggo whenever our primary walker is unavailable. We always come home to a happy tired dog. Most recently, Maude got to go for a run in the rain. Since I only tend to run if a bear is chasing me, I know Maude must have loved that extra treat!”
About: We have taken care of dogs of all breeds. We will play with them, take them for walks, clean up after them, give them medication when needed. We will get them their meals on time everytime. We are currently retired, so we have plenty of time to spend caring for your pets. We love animals and would love to help you take care of yours. Your pet is one of your family members, just as my pets are my members of my family. Their safety and well being are of the upmost importance.
About: I have worked in veterinary medicine for 10 years (6 years with Companion Animal Wellness Center and 2 years with Tender Touch Animal Hospital, and two years with animal emergency and speciality center) and I also worked in animal rescue for two years at Pasado's Safe Haven. I love dogs of all kinds and enjoy learning about what they enjoy and how I can help them live happy and healthy lives! I've helped two clinics implement cat friendly practice standards and have a solid understanding of cat behavior. I am comfortable giving medications and know when medical care is needed. I am also a pet owner myself and understand how important it is that you be able to trust your pet caregiver to treat them like family! I teach special education now and so am pretty busy during the school year. If my 12 year old son can come, he’s great with animals too, and I can be more flexible then. Feel free to ask me if something will work! Over the summer I am very available, only needing to be home for about 4-6 hours a day to take care of my own dog. If your dogs are pet social and you don’t have cats ( too fun to chase!), I can stay all day. During the school year, I am gone from 7am until 5 or 6pm, so realistically can only do weekends or solely overnight care. I know the level of trust it takes to leave your fur children with someone new. I will follow your directions and try to keep things as steady for them as possible. My son and I love animals of all shapes and sizes and we love playing with and spending time with them.
“Brie is amazing with my dogs Rosie and Daisy. They absolutely love her. I have called upon her on short notice a couple times and she has rushed right over to help me out. I can not reiterate how amazing she is! 10 out of 10 I recommend her!”
“Valarie did a great job walking our two dogs. When we had short notice that we needed coverage for our dogs while heading out of town, Valarie was quick to respond and set up a meet & greet. She agreed to take care of our girls and came as requested. She was communicative during each walk and sent great pictures. We hope she'll agree to more walks in the future!”
“Allison has been an excellent dog walker for me and Rhuby. She has been walking Rhuby for about a month and has never missed a day. She is very communicative and has been available whenever I've needed her.”
About: I’m new to Rover! I love animals! Theres a dulplicated review glitch on my profile so if anyone can give me a chance to care for your little ones I’d be grateful. I grew up surrounded by family pets. Whenever my parents went out for vacations I would stay at their house to spend time and care for their pets. From walks to feeding and quality time snuggles; I've been blessed to care for and love the beautiful creatures we've been graced to be in companionship with. I don't have any special training, but I love animals and will treat your family with as much care as I would treat my own. I can't wait to meet and care for your animals as well! I'm currently looking for work so I'm very free at the moment. I've loved animals since I was very young so if I could get more into pet care I'd love that. I don't have a place of my own to take care of pets. However, I have taken care of pets in other houses quite often over the years. Your house is your safe place. As someone who is introverted, I know how important a safe place is. With that in mind, I will treat your home with same respect and sanctity that I treat my own if I visit to care for your little ones. Any rules and/or guidelines for your property, I will follow to the best of my abilities to ensure you come back to the same, if not better home than you left from. With regard to your pets at home, you can tell me freely what things there are to keep in mind. The more I know about your pet, the better quality of service I can provide you and your pet with. I am open to discussions about home care options as well, if that is something you are looking for. (Things like yard care, cleaning, etc.)
About: I’ve taken care of multiple kinds of dogs and cats for family and friends ever since I was a little kid, and owned both kitties and doggies of different breeds most of my life. I’ve read a few training books for doggies, stayed multiple nights for pet sitting, volunteered at pet shops, worked at pet stores, handled kittens and puppies with care, worked with senior cats and dogs, as well as other barn animals as well! I am currently working a part time job in silverdale, usually around 10-15 hours a week. I always receive my schedule at least a week in advance, so I just need time to plan around that. Otherwise, I’m a fairly open schedule! I have experience with crating dogs and giving them daily medicines if needed, or any unique care. If there is ever at all an emergency situation, I will call you immediately while also taking your dog to the vet.
About: I love dogs! I'm happy to reinforce any training as needed. I also love to take dogs on local adventures and walks in the surrounding areas. I'm currently a grad student and will be needing to make some extra money starting next month. I will be on a semi flexible schedule allowing for pet sitting and house sitting. I'm trustworthy and will follow through on any needs expressed. I appreciate clear and direct communication. If a specific request is unclear, I will ask.
“Love Mary Elizabeth’s quick responses, flexibility and updates on our pup! She takes the time to give him extra belly rubs and send pics too! Greatly appreciated as a first time Rover user!”
About: I'm reliable and have cared for a wide variety of dog sizes and ages. I have cared for senior dogs and other dogs with special care requirements. I'm available to take care of any pets any day of the week at your house. My two dogs are not guaranteed to get along with yours and they are both adverse to new people so I cannot host any pets. I can do overnights at your house as my pets have other carers in the house. I greet your dog when I see them, let them outside if that's an option or go for a walk immediately. I will feed them, refill their water bowl and play with them. We will go on a walk if not already done. I make sure they have enough water and pets before I leave.
“This was our first time using rover and we had a great experience with Jordan. Her updates were really sweet and helped ease my worries while being away. We definitely hope to request her help in the future.”
About: Lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience! I grew up with multiple dogs and have spent years walking and caring for pets, including overnight stays. I’m comfortable with different routines, energy levels, and personalities—and I always make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. Mondays–Wednesdays are my off days and my most flexible time. I work Thursday–Sunday afternoons starting around 2, and my mornings are usually reserved for staying active—walks, workouts, or anything that gets me moving. I don’t have pets currently, but I’ve grown up caring for family and friends’ dogs and I’m comfortable with most breeds, prioritizing calm, safe, attentive care.
About: I've grown up with dogs of all sizes and have hands-on experience training and caring for a wide range of breeds and temperaments. I currently have two dogs of my own, a 14 year old Pekingese and a 8 year old Husky, which has given me daily experience managing both small and large dogs with very different needs and personalities. Whether your dog is energetic and active or prefers a slower pace, I'm comfortable providing safe, attentive care, exercise, and companionship. My background with dogs big and small allows me to adapt to each pet's unique routine and help them feel comfortable and well cared! My flexible schedule allows me to give your pets lots of attention, love, playtime, and exercise. I'm committed to making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way! My number one priority is making sure your pets feel comfortable and secure in their own home. I understand that every pet adjusts at their own pace, so I give them the time and space they need to build trust and feel at ease. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or quiet companionship. My goal is to provide attentive, loving care while helping them feel safe, relaxed, and happy in their familiar environment.
About: Because pets are more than just animals, they are part of the family. I offer you the best attention and love for them. I love them. Right now I have time available for the care of your pet, I adapt to your schedule and care needs. I'm young and physically active. I adapt to your preference for the care of your pet, I have a nearby area to take him for a walk and play. At the moment I don't have my own pet but I will take care of yours as my own.

“Steven and Rachel took great care of Daisy! They sent us plenty of updates and responded quickly to any questions. Daisy had a blast playing with their Daisy and they took care of her additional health requests. We’ll definitely ask them to watch her again the next time we go on a trip :)”
“I am living for a few months near Poulsbo and needed to find a dog sitter in the area. I connected with Brianna and we visited briefly before my trip. I immediately felt comfortable with her. She took great care of Romeo, sent me photos and updates and was easy to communicate with. My dog is small and he got along with their much larger dog. I highly recommend Brianna as a caring dog sitter.”
“James was great! We only gave him a six-day notice but he was able to do a meet & greet and book us within that time frame. Our dogs hadn't been boarded since they were a few months old so they were a little anxious and nervous, but I felt like they were in good hands while we were away for several days. Very reasonable cost. If your dog(s) can be left alone for the work day, I recommend.”
“Christie was a wonderful host to our 2 pugs. This was out first Rover experience and we could not have been happier. Christie sent us pictures and updates every day and even sent us home with portraits that will have us laughing and enjoying for years. We definitely plan to have Christie watch our babies again. They had so much fun and were very loved.”
“I think Reggie had a blast! He was a happy, tired camper when he came home. I think he thoroughly enjoyed being part of the family and going on all the walks and having multiple kids to play with!”
“Really wonderful communication and care! Pendry came home pooped from all the play time!! I think he had the time of his life! Thank you so much!”
“Matthew provided excellent care for our dog Basil and frequent updates while we were out of town. When Basil got sick unexpectedly, he took him to the vet twice, made homemade chicken and rice, and helped administer medicine. This was a huge relief to us and his care was above and beyond! We would definitely use Matthew again to board and care for Basil”
“Awesome pet sitter, treated our pup like his own. Great communication and very inviting. Our pup didn’t want to leave. Definitely top tier pet sitter he’s worth the money!”
“This was our second time having Casie care for our pups. She remembered details from their first visit to keep them comfortable while in her care. She's a great communicator and, most importantly, our pups are excited to see her.”
“Cara was great! She sent multiple pics and updates throughout the day letting me know how Gus was doing. Gus got lots of walks, cuddles, and play time with her two Corgis. Thank you, Cara!”
“Kyah was really great with my two dogs. She sent lots of pictures and videos and my dogs warmed up to her quickly. I have one dog that can get nervous around larger dogs, but Kyah’s German shepherd is very sweet and respectful of my dog’s boundaries. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who friends and family regularly trust to care for their pets while they travel. I have two friendly golden retrievers who truly love other dogs and are gentle, playful, and well-socialized. I’m experienced with a wide range of personalities—from high-energy pups who need lots of playtime to senior dogs who prefer a calm, cozy environment. I treat every dog as if they were my own, paying close attention to routines, feeding schedules, medications, and individual quirks. Your dog will enjoy plenty of love, supervised play, and a safe, comfortable home where they’re never just “watched,” but genuinely cared for. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and a calm, structured environment. I’m available for both short-notice needs and bookings well in advance as you plan your travels. My goal is to be your go-to sitter whenever you need reliable, loving care. I have a large fully fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized golden retrievers who enjoy playing in the backyard by a game of chase and/or fetch. I closely monitor playtime and all interactions, follow each dog’s routine, and can crate, separate, or provide quiet space if needed in order to keep all dogs in my care stress/free, comfortable and happy. Safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities. This isn’t just a place where you drop your dog for the day or for a trip. It’s a calm, loving environment where dogs feel safe and loved while you’re away. I choose thoughtful exercise and enrichment to keep them happy and give them plenty of opportunities to burn energy and excitement.
“Mike was great at communicating leading up to and during the boarding. Our dog Frankie warmed up to Mike and his wife Sherri very quickly. She got lots of exercise and was in such a happy mood when we picked her up. We were very happy to meet Mike and will be excited to have Frankie visit again.”
“Carl is an amazing sitter! Very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and I could tell our boy was very comfortable and having a great time while we were gone. Carl’s space is fantastic for any pets, our dog loved being there. I will absolutely reach out to Carl first in the future for any sitting needs.”
“Kayla and Jacob took amazing care of our energetic lab. The property was great for our dog to play and explore. Their family treated our dog as one of their own, making us feel at ease while we were away for an extended time. Would definitely use again!”
“Cathleen has a wonderful setup and treats your dog like family! She took my golden retriever on walks and has outside time and sent photos and communicated well! My dog had a good visit and we will be back!”
“Our dog had such a great time and came back relaxed from her 10-day "vacation" while we were out of the country. Sarah kept us updated and sent pictures daily. Super sweet family! Can totally recommend 😊”
