“Karen was great to work with. Very open for a meet and greet prior to having our Barley stay there. She allowed Barley to wander in the fenced in area to familiarize himself. Barley wasn't afraid of her, in fact walked right up to her for petting. She was great in letting us drop off 1/2 hr earlier than expected as was ready for our vacation earlier. Arrived home earlier in the day than we thought so was great with letting us pick up Barley a day early. Karen said she would go on Rover and adjust days for a refund...I declined and said enjoy it as a tip. He was a tired but happy dog when we picked him up. Thank you Karen.”
“Jacqueline was amazing! From making me feel welcomed right from the first message to going above and beyond with communication, photos, updates and flexibity. 11/10 would recommend, if you care about your furry friend, with Jacqueline you can rest assured they are in safe hands :)”
“Lottie and her family did an incredible job! We were updated daily with pictures and status updates - our dog was clearly loving life at Lottie’s house. Highly recommend booking with her.”
“Lucy had a great time. We were sent pictures while we were gone. Cassie had great communication before and during Lucy's stay. This was overall a great experience for us!”
“My pup had a great time at Mya's home! My experience was equally as good. Mya was very responsive to emails and sent me updates and pictures while we were away. She asked me lots of questions about my dog before agreeing to take her, which made me feel confident this would be a good fit. I wouldn't hesitate to leave my dog with Mya again in the future.”

About: I am a very positive and outgoing person. I believe in the old-fashioned way of doing things and treating people. I have lots of experience taking care of numerous cats and dogs. I grew up living in the country and we always had lots of outdoor cats and a couple inside. Learning what treatments to give them and the right kind of food is very important to me. Along with this I have had a couple of dogs. Taking time on walk every morning was the best way to start my day. I currently have a puppy so I am very fresh on puppy training and tricks. I have an open schedule Monday through Friday and some weekends depending on what is going on. I currently travel with my boyfriend who works on the road so I have lots of time to spend with your furry friends. I will always keep a close eye on your pet as if they are my own. They are just as important as young children and must be watched and played with as such.
About: I grew up in a household filled with pets ranging from dogs and cats to turtles and birds.

I am very respectful of individual needs and desires. I care that each animal receives the specific care it requires to stay happy and healthy.

“It was great to pick up a happy & exhausted pup after a long day at work. Took him for multiple walks in a day. Responds quickly & is friendly. Merlin was very comfortable around him. Will book again!”
“Louie loves going to daycare at Karen’s! He’s so excited to socialize with Bella and run around the play yard. I can always tell he gets plenty of exercise because he snoozes soon after we get home. Karen goes above and beyond with being flexible and is fast with communication. Thank you Karen for taking care of Louie!”

“Becky was phenomenal! My dog was very anxious and being a bit of an a-hole when we first arrived, and Becky helped reassure me and put me at ease that things would settle down once I left (just as good with the "moms" as she is with the dogs!). Pictures that she sent throughout the day of my dog playing with hers showed me she was right! Penny had a great time playing with Phoenix, and Becky was very communicative throughout the day. She was also incredibly flexible and understanding of my last-minute scheduling changes. I will definitely be reaching out the next time I need a sitter!”

About: Hi! I am an owner of a smart, service, doodle named Brody. I love all animal & have cared for many dog breeds and ages. I am currently working from home and have plenty of spare time.

I have undivided love for animals and believe they deserve the best care. I have a young boy that love dogs. Our home is very pet friendly.

About: Nestled in the quiet countryside, I offer loving, in-home boarding for dogs and cats in a peaceful, natural setting. With plenty of fresh air, daily walks, and attentive care, your pets are treated like family while they’re away from home. Able to care for animals at all stages in their life. I love taking long walks with canine companions! Your dogs will not be unleashed on a walk unless your specify! A client’s cat or dog fits naturally into my daily routine because their care is built around their needs, not a rigid schedule. Each day follows a calm, predictable flow—morning feedings, medications if needed, fresh air, walks or supervised outdoor time for dogs, and quiet check-ins or play for cats—mirroring what they’re used to at home as closely as possible. Throughout the day, I weave in one-on-one attention, enrichment, rest, and observation, so pets aren’t just “fit in,” but thoughtfully included in a rhythm that keeps them comfortable, engaged, and well cared for from morning to night. Tailoring your services starts with seeing each pet as an individual, not a “one-size-fits-all” guest. Begin with a detailed intake or meet-and-greet to learn the pet’s routine, personality, energy level, medical needs, fears, and preferences. From there, you can adjust care in a few key ways: • Routine-based care: Match feeding times, walk schedules, playtime, and sleep habits as closely as possible to what the pet is used to at home. • Personality-aware handling: Offer extra quiet and space for shy or senior pets, more structured play and exercise for high-energy dogs, and gentle, low-stress interactions for anxious animals. • Health-focused support: Follow specific instructions for medications, mobility limits, special diets, or senior care, and keep careful notes so nothing is missed. • Environment choices: Decide whether a pet thrives with social interaction or prefers solo time, indoor lounging, or outdoor exploration in your country setting.
About: I have pet experience ever since I was 5. I have experience with puppies, adults, and seniors. From small dogs to a great danes, i can care for any dog. Im able to take care of your animals in the morning and at night for the most part. I work midday shift mostly, some mornings. I have a 12 year old pug named Charlie, I make sure he gets what he needs, expecially since he has mobility problems. I can do pretty much anything, feeding, play time, walks, baths, ect.
About: Hi! My name is Ryley! I’ve had pets of my own since I was 6 years old, and have been caring for them since. I started helping others care for their animals since I was about 12 years old, and do obedience training on the side. I currently have no traditional employment, and am home basically at all times. I like to go for regular walks and can bring your pet with me, as well as help with bathroom breaks while you’re at work, or vet visits when you’re busy! I have an open yard with a fenced in dog park within a 5 minute walk. I have a crate available, and extra rooms if the animal doesn’t enjoy crates.
“Derek was flexible and my dogs loved him. 1 of my dogs has a lot of anxiety & I assumed would stay hid from him the whole time. She’s had no problems warming up to him. (She still even barks at my brother, sometimes.) I recommend & we look forward to seeing Derek again.”
