“Courtney did a great job with Louie. It was such a pleasure to come back from a trip and have our pup alert, rested and well taken care of. Louie was accepted into the "Dog Pack" and we will for sure be asking Courtney to take care of our boy again in the future. Thank you Courtney.”
“Amber was amazing! Her and her family helped take great care of my 3 month old pup for a few days while we were in the process of moving. She was super accommodating and helpful, taking him in just hours after us contacting her very last minute while stressed trying to figure out what to do with him. Taking in his “puppy shenanigans” and all like he was one of her own. Amber made sure to keep me updated about how his was doing helping to ease my mind of having him away from home for the first time. Sending me pictures/videos and messages about how his day was going. She also took the time to make sure that my pup was comfortable and entertained. Taking him on walks and being able to run around and play in the yard. Letting him go at his own pace and doing what made him feel safe when he didn’t like the rain or was was scared by her dog at first (he wasn’t the biggest one around anymore and couldn’t terrorize/annoy every living thing like he normally likes to do). She even went the extra mile to wash his bed after an accident over night and have him and all of his stuff packed up nicely and ready to go for me when I got there. My little boy loved playing with her and her family. And having the other dogs around for him to interact with was a bonus. When I tell you he was so excited when he first met them that I didn’t even get a second look over the shoulder or a goodbye before he took off to play with one of the kids ? (I’m still emotionally processing his betrayal ?). I could not recommend Amber enough! Your pet will be greatly taken care of (Not to mention worn out….he’s been napping since the moment we put him in the car) and all of your worries will fade the moment you get there.”
“David was really good with the dogs. Our dogs quickly ‘adopted’ their new Humans and appeared quite happy throughout their visit. David has a nice palace for the dogs to run and play. We will not hesitate to board our dogs with David in the future.”
“Cheryl was great with our dog Ellie and our cats! You could tell she really cared about our animals and took the stress of leaving them alone off of our plates. We will book with her again!”
“Our one year old german shepherd mix absolutely LOVED Ruby Paws! Ruby truly treats each pup as if it was her own. Her experience handling animals kept my mind at ease. Drop off and pick up went so smooth. My dog literally slept the remainder of the day upon pickup so I know she had fun :) BONUS - She sends daily snap chats of what your pup and her crew does throughout the day! Pricing is comparable to others in the area. Ruby also hosts other services (bathing, nail trimming, haircuts, etc.) with a salon on sight. I will definitely be rebooking with Ruby Paws!”
“Our pup had a great stay with Rebecca and Matthew! I was really looking for a home with a family that would interact with her regularly, meet her high energy needs and be able to have her in a calm, family environment ~ they were excellent in providing our pup with everything we were hoping for, and they truly went above and beyond! We are so pleased with her stay; with it being our first Rover experience, we were very relieved with the overall experience, and highly recommend Rebecca and her family.”
“Sadie’s was a great pet caregiver to our 4 month old puppy. This was the first time we left him with someone for a few days, and, he loved it! She shared pictures throughout his stay of his playtime and nap time. He was a tired puppy when he came home. He will visit with her again!”
“Mary was absolutely wonderful to work with!! She was so accommodating and my dogs loved her! She sent updates every day and I felt so comfortable knowing they were being so well taken care of (and spoiled). Finding a dog sitter that I can trust and that I feel like my dogs will do well with has been a challenge, but I think I have found my "regular dog sitter!" I am looking forward to working with Mary again. I would highly recommend her ~ especially for lower energy, senior dogs.”

“My dogs stayed with Emma for one night while we were in town for a wedding. We were coming from out of town and had to change our arrival time more than once. Emma was very particular with us! 😀”
“My dog had a wonderful time at this house and I received many pictures of her having fun. The family was also accommodating to our needs when we had some trouble getting back at the time we predicted.”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life and am now a proud owner for the past 1.5 years! I’m around 1-2 times throughout a typical work day to let my puppy out. She rules this house so no furniture or beds are off limits, which is extended to all the dogs that come into my home (I’ve recently become the extended family dog sitter due to my work schedule). Monday’s-Thursdays I am home 1-2 times during the typical work day for about a half hour each time. Fridays and weekends I’m typically home most of the day, maybe running errands here and there. Allie rules the house here! She is allowed on furniture and beds and this would extend to your baby too. We spend a lot of time outside with water always available and I’m always out with her. We have tons of toys and she doesn’t mind sharing them.
“Christiana and her family took excellent care of Nola while we were away. She sent daily pics & updates which made us feel at ease that Nola was being well taken care of and enjoying her stay. We will definitely have Nola stay again! ❤️”
“Lisa and her family take Blue in like one of their own. Blue is always very excited to run in and greet everyone when we arrive. The pics Lisa sends always show a very contented pup during her stay”
“I can not even imagine a better dog sitter. They cared for our pup as if she was one of her own, handled her separation anxiety with such love and kindness and sent amazing updates the entire time.”
“Ryan was awesome with your pup Kimber over the weekend! He provided updates throughout and asked questions when needed. Him and Dexter wore our pup out! We look forward to having Ryan watch Kimber again in the future. Highly recommend Ryan! Thank you, Ryan and Dexter, very much for this weekend!”
About: I have grown up with all kinds of animals, dogs being the main one. Love carin for dogs and always making them feel loved, even when owners may have to be away. What better way to spoil your pet then to make sure they have a great day too! I am the kind of person that would go to a party and hang out with the dog. I have excoerience in caring for both people and animals and hope that I may be able to help care for more. I will always be focused on what you are looking for for your dog and making sure that they get the time and love they deserve each day. Hope to talk to you soon. ? ❤️ We are a working household but have staggered start and end times so very little time is left alone. During that time dogs can remain out if possible or can be crated. Our dogs are crate trained for this time as well, though not always done. We have two friendly, though large dogs to keep yours company. We also have 2 cats, but can be placed in a different area of the house as needed. Have 2 meal times per day and can adjust to fit needs. Always have water available and frequent outside time.

About: Hi I'm Matt. I'm a big animal lover, and have been in the animal field for 15yrs working with all different types of wildlife. Have experience in giving vaccines(IM or SQ), oral meds, and basic care. I have since moved onto a new adventure in lawncare. I have been around dogs my entire life. I grew up with a German Shepherd, a purebred Samoyed, and a tabby cat. Currently, I have 2 beagle-shepherd mixes, Hunter and Holmes, who are 2 of the sweetest boys you will meet. We are often outdoors taking our daily walk, hiking local state parks, camping, or just working in the yard. I have always loved being around animals, especially dogs, and find that having them brings such happiness to life. The boys and I are together daily. I currently work typically Mondays thru Fridays sometimes varied or longer hours. However, we always make time to go for a walk daily, and on the weekends typically are out exploring. Hunter gets meds twice a day in a pill supplement as well as I trim their nails and baths occasionally. I currently rent a duplex that has a fenced backyard, and also have a spare bedroom and wire kennel if needed. Typically my dogs free roam during the day, and are good to be alone overnight or up to 10hrs which can allow me to spend time with your furry friend.

I have occasional obligations I need to attend, as well as a few personal upcoming vacations. I treat every pup like my own! I make sure they’re safe when I arrive and leave, feeling happy and relaxed during the visit, and all set until their parents get home. I follow routines closely and always go at your dog’s pace so they feel comfortable and cared for.
“Alyssa was on time, communicative and professional. It was nice to not have to worry about my old boy while at work. She did a great job taking care of him! My dog and I are looking forward to booking with her again. ❤️”
About: My sisters and I grew up with dogs, cats, hamsters, gerbils and birds. We played with them at home, took care of their needs and took them on walks in all kinds of weather. Recently my son and daughter-in-law flew me to New York City to take care of their one year-old goldendoodle while they went on a business trip. You can trust me to lovingly and safely take care of your pet too. I work as a tax preparer during tax season but the rest of the time I am free to play with your pets and take care of them in your home. I can also take them for walks. The week I watched my son and daughter-in-law‘s one year old golden doodle we took long walks in the parks and all over their scenic town. I know the importance of safety and what is going on in the environment around me-both in the home and outside the home. In your home you can trust me to take care of and play with your dog in a way that would bring you peace of mind.

I can easily crate your dogs if it’s needed. I can also take them for long walks or to dog parks or pet friendly fenced in parks if they are nearby to keep your pet safe.
About: I've worked at kennel learning how to care for a cat besides my own, I've learned how cats definitely have different personalities. I've also learned how to read a cats body language during this time.
“Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our kitties! Mckenna was wonderful throughout the whole process - it was just easy. Great communication leading up to our vacation and during. We’ve got two cats: an older one, who is a bit more shy, and a younger one, who is rambunctious and pretty friendly with strangers. Mckenna was wonderful with both. She took the time with our older one to help coax her out of her shell, and she gave our littlest one lots of play time and snuggles. She gave great, detailed report cards that included pictures each day she came over. I’d definitely book with her again!”
“This was my first time using any at home pet sitting service. I have one cat. Courtney did an awesome job watching my Sophie! Her drop in times were right on, and she and Sophie got along great! I would definitely recommend Courtney. She's awesome!”

“Another great visit for Wesley. He absolutely loves going to Erin’s house. Got there and he ran right up to the door. He gets tons of love and has a playmate whom he met through Rover named Willow. Can’t say enough about Erin and her family. They are beyond wonderful.”

“Emily’s care was absolutely amazing! Her communication is spectacular and she sends many updates. Under her care, I could tell she treated our pup just like one of her own. We will definitely be back!!”
“Having our baby stay with David went amazing like always! We so appreciate how kind he is and how caring he is with our little girl. I've said it before, and I meant it, no one will ever watch our baby but David! Thank you!!”
“Amber and Korey and their kids are all great with Reba so this was the second time we took her to them for care. She loves going there. Will take Reba there whenever we need a sitter in that area and they're available. Their 5 year old even gave Reba a new toy. So sweet and thoughtful ❤”
About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life and I've had my first (adult life) dog for three and a half year. Wila Rose is an Australian Cattle Dog mix. About a year and a half ago we added another rescue, Buckley Quinn. He is a smart but goofy boy. They both go backpacking with us and we do a lot of hiking on our local public land areas. We enjoy playing around in our yard with our limited dog agility set and learning new tricks. We occasionally go swimming but love jumping and exploring new water areas and hiking trails. Wila and Buckley are a huge part of my life. We enjoy hiking, being outdoor, and traveling as much as possible. We do quite a but of training included but not limited to: agility, scent training, shed training, and just some fun party tricks. I am new to Rover so please feel free to reach out with any questions. I have an acre of land (not fenced in). We love to go on walks and sniffaris at our local parks. Buckley loved to play with other dogs and Wila is more of a people dog. They even loves to go backpacking and hiking which often include 10+ miles a day.
“Our girl loves visiting Ruby! She comes home and sleeps the rest of the day after running on the farm. Ruby does a great job exercising all of the dogs that are visiting. My husband and I have sporadic work schedules and Ruby is extremely flexible. We have used her a couple of times, she’s our go to now when needed. I love that she sends messages/snaps of Mochi having the time of her life! Thank you <3”
“Emma was great, she went above & beyond to make sure Indagos stay was great! She's so good with him. I'm so thankful she likes him & Indago liked her. I was worried being a blue healer with lots of energy. Only God could provide such a great dog sitter for him. 💛🐕💛”
About: Hello I have been taking care of all sorts of pets since I was very young! I have experience with potty training, crate training, walking, and lots of play time. I also can give any puppers bath if need be. I also have experience with cats and many other small animals. I am free all week as I stay home with my 4 kiddos. I have 2 young kids that are 2 and 3 years old and my other 2 are 9 and 12. I always make sure that my pets and anyone else's pets are fed at a certain time, made sure they get their walks and exercise, but also make sure they get their cuddle time as well. I also make sure that they have water on hand at all times.
About: Hello! My name is Sadie. I’m a board certified behavior analyst who works with children on the Autism Spectrum. I have a soft spot in my heart for all animals- I was that child that stepped over ants to avoid squishing them. I grew up with a Springer Spaniel, cats, and a rabbit (: I currently have 3 cats, Nimi, Gizmo, Figarro, and a dog named Perci. Additionally, I have experience caring for ferrets, goats, sheep, and fish. I’ll treat your animals as my own, and show them endless love and care. I’m super excited to meet you and your animals! I currently work full time M-F, but do make my own schedule. I see a lot of my clients either before or after work. I also have weekends off! Meet and greets are important to me for boarding to ensure it’s a good fit for your dog. However, I understand if it is not feasible. I have a dog and 3 cats who are free to roam the house and are allowed on furniture. My dog sleeps with me so yours is more than welcome to join the snuggle party! I also have a daughter (3 years old) who loves her animals, so your fur baby will get lots of love from all of us.
“Ryan was very accommodating and thoughtful as we dropped our dog off for an afternoon. He listened and was engaging as we discussed our pup’s routine. We would go back to Ryan next time we are in the area.”
About: I’ve taken care of other peoples’ cats and dogs since 2017 - whether for it be for an hour or a month. It started with watching my coworkers cats and evolved into a network of animal lovers who needed their fur babies cared for while they were on trips. I am available for any type of short term care of cats or dogs. I am working full time and I have an hour lunch period each day. I utilize my lunch period to visit my dog at home, play with him, cuddle him, feed and let him out. This time will be dedicated to your fur baby, too! On the weekends, it can be filled with hiking and animal friendly activities as well as relaxing at home together. I have a spacious apartment on the first floor and a golden retriever to keep your fur baby company. My apartment complex is animal friendly with two dog parks and my apartment has a walk-out patio to enjoy quick access to an open yard.
“Kota was great with our pup Amelia. We hadn’t ever had anyone else watch her and kota definitely put my mind at ease by sending lots of pictures and updates. We aren’t from the area but if we are ever back we would definitely have her watch Amelia again. Also love that she has a fully fenced yard, huge plus and add more peace of mind.”

About: I myself have 5 rats, otherwise my family has owned so many animals over the years. Like pigs, many dogs, cats, birds, and more! Personally, I thrive on communication and respect. I will always ask questions if I don't understand something and always try to make things right. I am a part-time college student, currently unemployed but searching for a job. So I have a LOT of free time, I barely have any dead set plans and when I do they aren't full-day. Fitting animals more into my life will help me be flexible and caring. Ill be able to strengthen my knowledge in each and every type of animal I'll come across and be able to care for them how they need it. I always clean up after pets, especially if theres a kennel, backyard area, and litter boxes. I'm willing to clean floors, and do tidying aswell. I'll play with the pet for awhile and comfort them, while giving them my full attention. I'm willing to do just about anything!
“Rita is amazing!! She has a true love for animals and you can tell that she enjoys being with them! My Cali (English springer spaniel) can be stubborn and playful. Rita took the time to let Cali warm up and come to her and she was patient when Cali wanted to play "tag" instead of going on a walk. I've only ever trusted my sister to take care of Cali. I'm so grateful and happy that I found Rita and can add her to my list of trusted people! Thank you for everything!!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, growing up with dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish, and even a tarantula, animals have always been such an important part of my life. Even though they can’t talk, they quickly become your best friend and constant companion. I believe every animal deserves to be treated with love, kindness, and the best care possible, no matter their age, size, or breed. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with everything from training playful puppies to helping care for senior dogs, including giving medications and basic health care. I also adopted my two kittens when they were just four months old, and they’re now happy, healthy three-and-a-half-year-olds. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I truly enjoy. Hi there! I’m new to Mayville and have open availability to walk, play with, and care for your furry loved ones. I always make sure fresh food and clean water are provided, with bowls cleaned regularly to keep everything sanitary. Whether it’s brushing, playing fetch, going on nice long walks, or just giving them lots of attention and love—your pet’s happiness and care are my top priority! I make sure that my cats home environment is safe for them to roam and not get into too much mischief. Water bowls are cleaned. Food is rotated. Pee pads are changed out and litter is changed once a month while cleaning litter box out daily. I am sure that my cats live in a safe environment and are happy and healthy.
About: I’m a huge dog lover and I’m living in a non pet friendly apartment so I need some puppy time. I love the outdoors, so getting your dog outside is the best of both worlds for me. I also love running and would be happy to run your dog if you’d prefer that. I walked my neighbors dogs in high school and I’ve had dogs all my life. I work full time so I’m really looking for weekend gigs, but I’m also free most weekdays after 4:15. I can also do early mornings but it would have to be in Beaver Dam from 5:15-6:15 Not looking to dog sit, but I’d be happy to sit down and have a conversation with anyone who is concerned about the safety of themselves or their dogs.
“Emily does a wonderful job with our puppy, Finn. She always sends pictures and updates on how the walk went. She’s reliable, friendly, and Finn seems to love her. Highly recommend booking her for your furry friends.”
“Alyssa was great to work with. Great communication, was easy to schedule a meet and greet with, and everything went fantastic on the actual walk. She followed instructions, took lots of photos, and my dog seems to have enjoyed himself! Would definitely book again.”
“Brandi was great with my 3 dogs. She was on time. Was able to meet the dogs and I before the first day. There was an issue with the neighbors dog jumping my fence when she was out with my 3 dogs. She handled the situation very well! She sent me a lot of pictures also! I would have Brandi come back and take care of my dogs again!.”
“Amanda is amazing and my dog loves when she takes him for walks while I'm at work. She always gives me an update and let's me know how the walk went and even takes a moment to say hello to my kitty and gives him some TLC. She is much appreciated as I know I don't have to worry about my boys while working long days.”
About: “God speaks to the creatures through the creatures.” -Dr. Chase. “All you need is love.” -John Lennon. Plenty of love I have to give, but I also have the experience of 35 years as a science teacher. I’m well-versed in how animals like dogs and cats talk to us through their gestures. Dogs evolved with humans, and I understand that relationship and how dogs meet our emotional needs. Please read my first four reviews which I received from pet owners that I served even before signing up with Rover. The pet owner decides when treats are allowed, if table scraps are allowed, and how much food to give. The dog decides when it wants to go potty. 😉 Just in case, I usually take the dog out before it decides and always before any discomfort. Snuggles welcome. 🐾🥰😻 When serving you and your pet, I like to send pictures. We can also use FaceTime or Zoom to check in. 🐶🤩 At age 61, I’ve been a retired teacher for 3 years, and my activity level allows me to run or play with your beloved dog. In your home, I follow instructions and do the routine for your beloved just like you would. However, if I’m allowed to give more snuggles, or more walks, or more training than you normally have time for, I’m at your service.
About: Experienced pet sitter and animal lover. I have been taking care of animals since I was 10 years old. Dogs are my absolute favorite, I love their personalities l. I have a flexible schedule. Let’s talk about what is needed and I will try my best to make it a right fit for your schedule. Leashed at all times when outside the home. It is also important to make sure all gates are closed and secured. I also believe in a a clean and tidy home for pets.
About: Had cats all my life and dogs for last 12 years. Animals have a sixth sense about people and I'm one of those they seek out for rubs, cuddles, playtime, snacks and love... I'm not currently working so I'm available for any time through the remainder of this April within 30 miles of my town. Once I'm working full time again I will be available evenings closer to home and all times on the weekends. I'm also available for overnights at your location and can leave for work from anywhere. I will only be able to care for pets at your home as we currently have 2 cats (one who is very persnickedy) and a senior dog rescue who is going blind and is afraid of everyone.

“Courtney did a great job with Louie. It was such a pleasure to come back from a trip and have our pup alert, rested and well taken care of. Louie was accepted into the "Dog Pack" and we will for sure be asking Courtney to take care of our boy again in the future. Thank you Courtney.”
“Amber was amazing! Her and her family helped take great care of my 3 month old pup for a few days while we were in the process of moving. She was super accommodating and helpful, taking him in just hours after us contacting her very last minute while stressed trying to figure out what to do with him. Taking in his “puppy shenanigans” and all like he was one of her own. Amber made sure to keep me updated about how his was doing helping to ease my mind of having him away from home for the first time. Sending me pictures/videos and messages about how his day was going. She also took the time to make sure that my pup was comfortable and entertained. Taking him on walks and being able to run around and play in the yard. Letting him go at his own pace and doing what made him feel safe when he didn’t like the rain or was was scared by her dog at first (he wasn’t the biggest one around anymore and couldn’t terrorize/annoy every living thing like he normally likes to do). She even went the extra mile to wash his bed after an accident over night and have him and all of his stuff packed up nicely and ready to go for me when I got there. My little boy loved playing with her and her family. And having the other dogs around for him to interact with was a bonus. When I tell you he was so excited when he first met them that I didn’t even get a second look over the shoulder or a goodbye before he took off to play with one of the kids ? (I’m still emotionally processing his betrayal ?). I could not recommend Amber enough! Your pet will be greatly taken care of (Not to mention worn out….he’s been napping since the moment we put him in the car) and all of your worries will fade the moment you get there.”
“David was really good with the dogs. Our dogs quickly ‘adopted’ their new Humans and appeared quite happy throughout their visit. David has a nice palace for the dogs to run and play. We will not hesitate to board our dogs with David in the future.”
“Cheryl was great with our dog Ellie and our cats! You could tell she really cared about our animals and took the stress of leaving them alone off of our plates. We will book with her again!”
“Our one year old german shepherd mix absolutely LOVED Ruby Paws! Ruby truly treats each pup as if it was her own. Her experience handling animals kept my mind at ease. Drop off and pick up went so smooth. My dog literally slept the remainder of the day upon pickup so I know she had fun :) BONUS - She sends daily snap chats of what your pup and her crew does throughout the day! Pricing is comparable to others in the area. Ruby also hosts other services (bathing, nail trimming, haircuts, etc.) with a salon on sight. I will definitely be rebooking with Ruby Paws!”
“Our pup had a great stay with Rebecca and Matthew! I was really looking for a home with a family that would interact with her regularly, meet her high energy needs and be able to have her in a calm, family environment ~ they were excellent in providing our pup with everything we were hoping for, and they truly went above and beyond! We are so pleased with her stay; with it being our first Rover experience, we were very relieved with the overall experience, and highly recommend Rebecca and her family.”

But also I have a dog and my mom has a dog they are both loving and will keep your animal company!
“My dog had a wonderful time at this house and I received many pictures of her having fun. The family was also accommodating to our needs when we had some trouble getting back at the time we predicted.”
“Christiana and her family took excellent care of Nola while we were away. She sent daily pics & updates which made us feel at ease that Nola was being well taken care of and enjoying her stay. We will definitely have Nola stay again! ❤️”
“Lisa and her family take Blue in like one of their own. Blue is always very excited to run in and greet everyone when we arrive. The pics Lisa sends always show a very contented pup during her stay”
“I can not even imagine a better dog sitter. They cared for our pup as if she was one of her own, handled her separation anxiety with such love and kindness and sent amazing updates the entire time.”
“Ryan was awesome with your pup Kimber over the weekend! He provided updates throughout and asked questions when needed. Him and Dexter wore our pup out! We look forward to having Ryan watch Kimber again in the future. Highly recommend Ryan! Thank you, Ryan and Dexter, very much for this weekend!”
About: I have grown up with all kinds of animals, dogs being the main one. Love carin for dogs and always making them feel loved, even when owners may have to be away. What better way to spoil your pet then to make sure they have a great day too! I am the kind of person that would go to a party and hang out with the dog. I have excoerience in caring for both people and animals and hope that I may be able to help care for more. I will always be focused on what you are looking for for your dog and making sure that they get the time and love they deserve each day. Hope to talk to you soon. ? ❤️ We are a working household but have staggered start and end times so very little time is left alone. During that time dogs can remain out if possible or can be crated. Our dogs are crate trained for this time as well, though not always done. We have two friendly, though large dogs to keep yours company. We also have 2 cats, but can be placed in a different area of the house as needed. Have 2 meal times per day and can adjust to fit needs. Always have water available and frequent outside time.
“Kota took on my 13 week old puppy and I am so pleased with how well my puppy did at her home! Kota snuggled and loved and cared for her like she was her own! She communicated daily and sent the cutest pictures! I give my highest recommendation to her! So much better than a kennel when you need boarding! Your pet will be welcomed into their home and treated like a family member!”
“Micah was fantastic! Kepler was well taken care of and had a very exciting stay playing with her dogs Teddy and Echo. Micah is very loving and created a very welcoming and fun environment for our pet/baby. We will definitely use her again.”
“Emily is a great dog sitter! Yumi had so much fun in her house and became good friend with other pups. I enjoyed watching daily photos and videos of Yumi when I'm not around. It was really great seeing my girl getting along with everyone and becoming part of the doggy family. I was out on a trip for a month but Emily gave me updates every day and was flexible on the reservation. I definitely recommend your pup to stay at Emily's.”
About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life and I've had my first (adult life) dog for three and a half year. Wila Rose is an Australian Cattle Dog mix. About a year and a half ago we added another rescue, Buckley Quinn. He is a smart but goofy boy. They both go backpacking with us and we do a lot of hiking on our local public land areas. We enjoy playing around in our yard with our limited dog agility set and learning new tricks. We occasionally go swimming but love jumping and exploring new water areas and hiking trails. Wila and Buckley are a huge part of my life. We enjoy hiking, being outdoor, and traveling as much as possible. We do quite a but of training included but not limited to: agility, scent training, shed training, and just some fun party tricks. I am new to Rover so please feel free to reach out with any questions. I have an acre of land (not fenced in). We love to go on walks and sniffaris at our local parks. Buckley loved to play with other dogs and Wila is more of a people dog. They even loves to go backpacking and hiking which often include 10+ miles a day.
“Brittni & family were the best dog family we could ever ask for! Luna got along great with their dogs and kids. Brittni sent pictures of Luna with the family and out on walks. Highly recommend!”
“Denise cared for our pups twice in the past few weeks. She not only made our pups feel welcome but she was also very flexible with our hectic schedule. She has a beautiful fenced in yard that kept them safe. She took them for walks and they had a great time. I really appreciated her quick response to any questions as well as updates and pictures. I am very grateful to her and would recommend her to anyone in need.”
