“Luana was accommodating, easy to work with and clearly a devoted animal lover. She took great care of our little dog and was especially mindful to make sure he was safe, because he’s a quick, little escape artist. We appreciate her care and will be back when we’re in Wisconsin.”

“Laura boarded Wiley for a weekend. Wiley was well taken care of and enjoyed her Yard. Wiley often has anxiety when we are gone but adapted to Laura and family nicely. He was a happy boy when we picked him up. Laura sent photos and communicated how Wiley was adapting. All went perfectly. I highly recommend Laura to watch your dog.”
“Jesus and his family took great care of our 2 French bulldogs. They sent pictures, took the dogs on walks, and made sure our dogs were comfortable. Great communication throughout. Highly recommend!!”
“Lisa did such a great job with our baby Nilah! We have been working really hard with training but a high energy golden can be really challenging. We appreciate Lisa’s patience with Nilah. She also had other dogs to play with throughout the week. Lisa has an extremely friendly family too so we knew our pup was in the best hands.”
“Anu and her family treated Duncan as their own! She kept us up to date on how Duncan was doing by sending us wonderful pictures and videos. Lots of love and fun! Duncan had a great time and we didn't worry a bit about our pup! Thank you Anu and family, we will certainly use your services again with Duncan.”
“We actually ended up not leaving Poquito with Frankie because our plans changed, but Frankie was very easy to communicate with, understanding, and accommodating. I will definitely contact her again if we need a sitter in Sheboygan.”

About: I have worked with numerous animals since I was 5 years old. I have owned chickens, rabbits, horses, dogs, and cats my entire life. I am a 4-H leader where I teach children how to train dogs and I help them show and prepare their animals at fair. I also show my own animals at the fair. Additionally, I have pet sat for numerous family members over the years as well as friends. I will always be there for your pet and I will make sure they are well taken care of and loved just like they are my own. I am a teacher who is currently on summer break. So my schedule is pretty open during the summer and I have a lot of availability. During the school year, most of my weekends are free as well as when we have breaks. I am flexible and willing to make things work for you! I live on a little hobby farm with my husband. I have 3 dogs and 3 cats who are very friendly. I have everything needed in my home to take care of a dog including a kennel if needed as well as tie outs. We have a lake that is 5 minutes from our house and if your dog loves to swim, I would be happy to take them. I take my dogs all over in the summer and I would make sure your pet gets a lot of attention and exercise as well. Additionally, we have a huge barn and fenced in pasture as well as rabbit hutches in the barn and a chicken coop! Whatever animal you have they can be comfortable at my property. Additionally, if you feel better about your animal staying at home, I am happy to accommodate to that as well.
“Boarding experience review) This is our first dog, and our first time using Rover, and Salena helped put ease to our mind! She sent pictures of our puppy and was really flexible to work with. Bale slept so good when he came home, and he looked like he had the best time! We will definitely be using her again! I highly recommend her to anyone!”
“I was very impressed with Lisa. This was the first time boarding my dog anywhere. Lisa was very professional from the meet and greet to when my dog stayed at her house. Unfortunately I had to cut my vacation short but Lisa was very accommodating when I picked up my dog early. The best thing of all was that my dog Marnie loved her right from the start. She is a Miniature Pinscher and quite timid to most people she meets. I highly recommend Lisa and I will definitely take Marnie to Lisa's home again.”
“Danielle is so sweet and our pup, Laney had so much fun! She sent me updates and photos of what they were doing and was honest about other weekend obligations. We are really happy with how she cared for our dog and would highly recommend!!”

“Thank you so much! We can tell from the photos you shared that Josie had a wonderful time playing outside and being spoiled with her treats! We will definitely reach out to have you watch our pup again!”
“My Ezzie loves people but tends to be shy at first. Lisa got her to come out, eat treats and get pets!! That says amazing things about Lisa. We kept in communication with pictures and texts. I never felt nervous. I would recommend Lisa to anyone that asks and will be using her in the future!!”
“When we had to be out of town all day, Alyssa was a godsend. She came over a couple times to let him out and play, and sent us the cutest photos of him having fun. We will definitely rebook with Allissa again!”
“Maria consistently does a fantastic job taking care of my pets. She arrives promptly during the designated time, ensures they have their potty breaks, refreshes their water, and gives them plenty of love and attention. Her Rover cards are detailed and include lots of pictures. I know that are in good hands with her!”
“First time using anyone for staying in-home to sit my cat. Patty was exceptional in the care of my not-so-healthy cat. I had complete confidence in Patty and my cat is doing well upon our return. The “extras” Patty does is above and beyond. I would highly recommend Patty!”
“Samantha is awesome! My cats came out and let her give them treats and cuddles so they obviously liked her :) Looking forward to working with her again soon!”
“Mya was absolutely wonderful! This was my first time using Rover and she went above and beyond any expectations! She cared for my animals so well and kept me updated which I greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend.”
“Jessica was great! I am a self proclaimed over worrier and I felt very comfortable leaving my cats with Jessica. She was communicative and flexible to my requests which I really appreciated. We could tell from the pictures that our kitties felt comfortable being themselves and weren’t too stressed by our absence. We would definitely recommend her and will book her again for future services if she’s available.”
“Brittany is amazing and professional. She kept my cat happy and stimulated during her visits. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for someone that’s great with taking care of cats.”
“Jenna did great and was very flexible. She even got some pets in with my rabbit who is usually wary of strangers or people in general so im very happy with the job she did!”

About: I have always had animals around in my life. Overall, I have had the pleasure of having 8 dogs, 2 rabbits, 2 guinea pigs, 1 hamster, and lots of fish (both freshwater and saltwater). Additionally, I have had the opportunity to care for the cats of family members. I have experience with: -Positive Reinforcement Training -Leash Handling -Muzzle Usage -Reactivity Training Guided by Licensed Animal Behaviorists -Veterinary Medication Administration Currently, I have one dog, Josie, who is an Australian Shepherd/Blue Heeler Mix. Josie is dog reactive, and I have spent an extensive amount of time working on her training and care. I am currently available to provide pet care Monday-Thursday from 4:30 pm - 9:30 pm. Oftentimes, I am also available to provide pet care at any time on Saturdays or Sundays. I have availability at any time during the day during these days in July 2026: 7/10, 7/11, 7/18, and 7/31. Since I have a dog at home who is anxious and reactive, I am not able to care for your pet in my own home; however, I would love to care for your fur baby where they are most comfortable -- in your home or in your neighborhood. I typically arrive with small treats in a pouch to share, ensuring my greeting is always positive. While at your home, I will ensure your pet receives exercise/play, multiple potty breaks, and refill water/food as needed.

Travis 🐾 I have had the pleasure of growing up on a farm surrounded by around animals my entire life. My family has owned many gorgeous retrievers that I fell in love with and took care of. I’d be in charge of walking, letting them out or dog sat for the weekend once I was older. Growing up this way has been a positive learning experience that lead me to be a great dog owner. 10 years ago I adopted Sadie, my first baby. She’s a beautiful lab mix. I have learned so much in the last decade about training dogs. I’ve taken puppy training class and still use a lot of that knowledge till this day. Sadie is extremely well trained and if I could I would 100% be a dog trainer. I’m not a dog whisperer but I definitely have a good understanding of how to handle pups and adult dogs. Dogs are easily my main love, but all animals have a special place in my heart. I value the connection and constant love they show towards their owners. I treat my dog like my daughter and would love to have have more one day. It would be a pleasure to care after your family member. I work full time M-F, with the ability to stop at home during the day. Also my wife is home most Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. So we work together to let the dogs out at appropriate time and keep them on their feeding schedule. Weekends are fun times with plenty walking, hikes, swimming, and dog parks if the owner is comfortable with us doing so. We go for two to 3 walks a day with our playful lab pups. We always have dogs on leash, and we have multiple kennels for our dogs if needed.
“Crystal was very nice at our Meet & Greet and made sure to take any important notes down. She followed all my pet care instructions perfectly & made sure my babies were taken good care of! I felt relaxed knowing that she had it all handled. I will be booking with her again in the future!”

About: We recently lost our senior dog, so we have lots of doggy love available for your pet! I work from home, so your pet will get lots of attention, frequent visits to the backyard, and a walk at lunchtime. I work from home full time, so I'm here to interact with your pet and provide frequent breaks for play and potty. My boyfriend gets home from work in the late afternoon and will shower your pet with affection as well! I have a small, unfenced yard and will let your dog outside on a long lead to keep him/her safe and under my supervision. Your dog will have access to kitchen, living/dining room, bathroom, and up to 3 bedrooms. Basement will not be accessible.
“Judy and Paul provide the perfect day care for our lab. She needs security and activity. Judy ‘s place is very dog friendly and Paul made sure Rona had supervised play that included fetch, Rona’s favorite pastime. I would recommend Judy and would plan to use her dog care service whenever we are back in the area.”
“Frankie was so nice. We met before the scheduled date. She gave a detailed and great description before the drop off time and made sure everything was fine. Riley came back happy.”
“You have a great place for a pup to hang out! Thank you for taking care of Duke, he must have had a great time because he’s all tuckered out! We hope you’re available next time we are in the area. Take care, and thanks!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner since 10 years old and have not gone without mans best friend since! I currently live on 23 acres in the country and long walks and chasing balls packs in most of the day with my 4 dogs Jetta, Odie, Ruby and Rowley. All dogs are dog friendly and well mannered. Graduating puppy classes to canine good citizen classes, plus dabbling in agility and herding. I currently work Weekends Friday-Sunday and my week is filled with lots of outdoor time on my hobbies farm. Lots of free time during the week helps me have fun with my animals and enjoy the sunshine. All my pets are cat and dog friendly and have full freedom of the property. New comers are always on a 12 foot leash during playtime and walks, unless E-collar trained. When first meeting owners I go over your dogs recall manners and slowly introduce them to the pack on a long property walk. This helps incorporate pack leadership and expelling energy at the same time.
“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. 💛🐕💛”

“Emily communicated great before and during our dog’s puppy daycare with her. Her and her husband were both super friendly and listened to our comments regarding our puppy. Our dog got along great with their dog, Ruby. This was a really great experience and I’d highly recommend Emily to anyone.”
About: Since I was little I have always loved animals, I feel that I have a unique connection with them. From 10 years old. In Ecuador, I was taking care of dogs. The neighbors have trusted me for the attention I gave their pets, for playing with them, etc. But since I arrived in the United States I have not been able to continue with that hobby. I took care of the dogs of the owner of the house where he lived for 6 years, giving him all the love, patience and daily attention he needed. I don't have much real experience with food, walking and bathing. I am reliable, friendly and treat everyone like a family. I am available from Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday mornings until 10 a.m. and in the afternoon from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Sundays only in the mornings until 11 p.m. My first language is Spanish but I don't speak English very well or fluently, I know basic things but I understand most of them. I give food and water on time. I walk them, play a little and keep everything clean. I tell the owner how it goes with photos.
About: I love animals, and I care deeply for them. Their company never bothers or annoys me. It makes me happy to take care of them. 😊 I've been taking care of animals since I was little, and I've had a variety of them. I'll never judge an animal or get angry with one; they are pure and true. I've owned and looked after hamsters, lizards, birds, dogs, and cats of different shapes, sizes, and ages throughout my whole life, providing the necessities they need. I'm currently free all the time, so I can always be there. I can be ready anytime during the day and for a decent amount of hours. As a pet sitter, I prioritize providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for furry friends like yours, either in my home or outside and/or your home.
About: I love taking care of dogs. I will walk your dog in the Spring, Summer and Fall in good weather. Your dog will have my 3 year old Maltese to play with. I’m CPR trained and if needed, with calling you first, take your dog to my home town ER hospital (hope we never need to use that). Your dog must be potty trained for outside. My grandchildren all love dogs, they visit sometimes. I have been with dogs all my life. So rest assured I’ll take care of your dog while I take care of mine and my grandchildren. I will have play time and potty breaks. Will try to teach your dog new tricks. I’ve taken training classes with Pet Smart. You won’t regret placing your pet with me.
“Gilian was so patient with Oakley on his first sitter experience!! She kept me updated on how he was, concerns she had, and pictures. We got stuck in a family emergency and she came through to watch Oakley last minute, I highly recommend her!!”

“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 have 10 years of experience caring for pets, including dogs of all sizes and temperaments.

About: Premium Pet & Flock Care Tailored for Every Life Stage As a trusted and experienced pet care provider, I specialize in personalized sitting services for large-breed pups, cats, and their smaller furry friends — with added expertise in puppy training, compassionate senior pet care, and even backyard flock care for chickens. Your pets are unique, and so is my approach: I take time to understand each animal’s personality, routine, and special needs to ensure they feel secure, loved, and engaged while you’re away. From teaching puppies good manners and basic obedience, to gently caring for older pets who need extra patience and attention, to providing thoughtful care for your feline family members — I deliver professional, reliable care that goes far beyond feeding and walking. And for families with backyard chickens, I bring years of hands-on experience as a seasoned chicken owner. I can provide attentive care for your flock — ensuring they’re fed, their coop is secure, and they stay safe and healthy until you’re home again. 🐾 Puppy Training: I help reinforce basic commands, house-training routines, and leash manners, giving your young pup the best start in life. 🐱 Cat Care: I provide gentle, attentive care for cats of all temperaments, making sure they receive the affection, play, and routine they need to feel safe and content. 🐾 Senior Pet Expertise: I understand the special needs of aging pets — from administering medication and assisting with mobility to creating a calm, stress-free environment for rest and comfort. 🐓 Flock Care: As an experienced chicken owner, I know how to care for backyard hens and ensure they’re well-tended and secure in your absence. 🐾 More Than a Sitter — A True Companion: My services are designed to give you peace of mind and your pets (and chickens!) a trusted friend they can rely on. You’ll return to a happy, healthy, and well-cared-for family every time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I work from home, which allows me to provide loving, attentive care around the clock. My flexible schedule means I can easily adapt to each pet’s unique needs — whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or administering medication. Because I’m home throughout the day and night, pets in my care enjoy consistent companionship, plenty of interaction, and a stable, comforting environment that feels like home. I’m able to maintain their familiar routines and give them the one-on-one attention they deserve, so they’re never lonely or stressed while you’re away. Pet care isn’t just part of my routine — it’s at the heart of my everyday life. I care for pets in my home by providing round-the-clock attention in a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where they feel like part of the family. Pets enjoy plenty of playtime, outdoor exercise (especially for large-breed dogs), and cozy resting spots. I maintain their regular feeding and potty schedules and offer lots of love, enrichment, and companionship throughout the day and night. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I tailor each visit to their pet’s routine and comfort level. This can include daily walks, fresh food and water, playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, medication administration if needed, and overnight stays for pets who do best in their familiar surroundings. I make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and relaxed — and I keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every animal with the same care and devotion I give my own — because they deserve nothing less.
About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I currently have four dogs and have helped care for many others through family and friends. I also grew up with cats, so I'm comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. Beyond caring for animals, I'm a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), where I provide compassionate, dependable care to people every day. Being a CNA has strengthened my patience, attention to detail, and ability to stay calm and responsible in any situation which are qualities I bring to every pet I care for. I'm heading to the University of Minnesota Twin Cities this fall, and pet sitting is the perfect way for me to cover some schooling dues and spend time doing something I genuinely love. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having a calm and caring companion, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I currently work part time as a CNA working second shift. So, I am always available until 2pm. But, catch me on a day I don’t work at the healthcare facility, and I’ll be free all day! Sometimes weekends can be hard, however I always find ways to make everything work out. As I live under my parents households still, I have two homes. One house has a large fenced in yard, with two friendly dogs that live there. The other home, has a large open field in the back, which unless the animal is off the leash trained, we have long leads for them to run free (ish). This home also has two even more friendly dogs who would love the company. Both of these homes are located in nice neighborhoods in the town of Plymouth.

About: Hello! I am Victoria. I am going to school part-time for Business Management and work full time on 3rd shift, which gives me time during the off hours to drop in and check on your pet as well as take them for a nice walk during the day. I’ve had and taken care of pets since I was 10, mainly dogs, lizards and hamsters. I have experience with dogs ranging from puppies to seniors and am comfortable giving medication as needed. I work 3rd shift. I am available between my sleep schedule, mid day to mid afternoon to care for your pet with drop-ins and take for walks, usually 20-30min. I care for the pet as they were my own. There’s no shortage of walks, scratches, love and cuddles. And any other enrichment the pet may need.
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life. I had my own dog for 16 years, from childhood through her senior years, so I understand the responsibility, patience, and consistency dogs need at every stage of life. I regularly walked her and taught her commands like sit, shake, and roll over. As she got older and developed health conditions, I continued caring for her with patience and attention to her changing needs. I’ve also volunteered as a dog walker at the humane society and used to go with my mom when I was younger, which helped me become comfortable around dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I’m dependable, caring, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind. I’m home from college for the summer and looking for a fun, active way to spend my weekdays doing something I genuinely enjoy. I only work a few nights a week, so I have a pretty flexible daytime schedule for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I’ve always loved being around dogs, so this feels like the perfect side job for me while I’m home. I enjoy getting outside, staying active, and spending time with animals, and I’d love to help give your pets some extra attention, exercise, and care during the day. When caring for pets, I always try to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. During walks I keep dogs closely leashed, pay attention to our surroundings, bring water and waste bags, and make sure not to walk too far especially in hot weather or with older dogs. For drop in visits I make sure pets have fresh food and water, get attention and play time, and that everything is clean and secure before I leave. I also know how important pets are to people, so I’d always keep owners updated and send pictures when I can.
“First time using Rover! Excellent experience. Travis was awesome. Prior to her first walk with him, he came over for a meet and greet which was very helpful. Right away, Whinnie could tell he was a dog lover. He also was very responsive to all of my questions I had in person and via the app. We will definitely use him again! It is such a good feeling to know our pup is being taken care of.”
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: Let me know if your dog has any special needs, medications, or behaviors that I can account for or help with. I would love to help. If you have plants that need watering, mail, or packages that need to be brought in, I can help with that too! I'm retired and love traveling around Wisconsin and the world. Slow traveling is my favorite. I can explore new neighborhoods, cities, and local attractions without being rushed. I will follow your directions for your house and loved ones. Let me know the extra duties like watering, mail, or garbage routine. The house is left cleaner than I found it.
About: I have 10 years of experience caring for pets, including dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love. Whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, or simply giving a dog some extra affection, I treat every pup like my own. I’m also comfortable with feeding routines, basic training, and caring for senior dogs or puppies I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for pets. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks throughout the week. I love being outdoors and can easily adjust my schedule to meet your dog’s needs I provide a safe and loving environment for every dog. Walks are always on a leash, and I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort. At home, I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. I can also follow any specific instructions you give to keep your dog’s routine consistent.

“Lisa did such a great job with our baby Nilah! We have been working really hard with training but a high energy golden can be really challenging. We appreciate Lisa’s patience with Nilah. She also had other dogs to play with throughout the week. Lisa has an extremely friendly family too so we knew our pup was in the best hands.”

About: I have worked with numerous animals since I was 5 years old. I have owned chickens, rabbits, horses, dogs, and cats my entire life. I am a 4-H leader where I teach children how to train dogs and I help them show and prepare their animals at fair. I also show my own animals at the fair. Additionally, I have pet sat for numerous family members over the years as well as friends. I will always be there for your pet and I will make sure they are well taken care of and loved just like they are my own. I am a teacher who is currently on summer break. So my schedule is pretty open during the summer and I have a lot of availability. During the school year, most of my weekends are free as well as when we have breaks. I am flexible and willing to make things work for you! I live on a little hobby farm with my husband. I have 3 dogs and 3 cats who are very friendly. I have everything needed in my home to take care of a dog including a kennel if needed as well as tie outs. We have a lake that is 5 minutes from our house and if your dog loves to swim, I would be happy to take them. I take my dogs all over in the summer and I would make sure your pet gets a lot of attention and exercise as well. Additionally, we have a huge barn and fenced in pasture as well as rabbit hutches in the barn and a chicken coop! Whatever animal you have they can be comfortable at my property. Additionally, if you feel better about your animal staying at home, I am happy to accommodate to that as well.
“Boarding experience review) This is our first dog, and our first time using Rover, and Salena helped put ease to our mind! She sent pictures of our puppy and was really flexible to work with. Bale slept so good when he came home, and he looked like he had the best time! We will definitely be using her again! I highly recommend her to anyone!”
“I was very impressed with Lisa. This was the first time boarding my dog anywhere. Lisa was very professional from the meet and greet to when my dog stayed at her house. Unfortunately I had to cut my vacation short but Lisa was very accommodating when I picked up my dog early. The best thing of all was that my dog Marnie loved her right from the start. She is a Miniature Pinscher and quite timid to most people she meets. I highly recommend Lisa and I will definitely take Marnie to Lisa's home again.”
“Danielle is so sweet and our pup, Laney had so much fun! She sent me updates and photos of what they were doing and was honest about other weekend obligations. We are really happy with how she cared for our dog and would highly recommend!!”
“Rebecca and Matthew and their boys took wonderful care of Hazel during her week-long stay. They were very detailed in caring for her and sent plenty of pictures and updates.”
About: Since I was little I have always loved animals, I feel that I have a unique connection with them. From 10 years old. In Ecuador, I was taking care of dogs. The neighbors have trusted me for the attention I gave their pets, for playing with them, etc. But since I arrived in the United States I have not been able to continue with that hobby. I took care of the dogs of the owner of the house where he lived for 6 years, giving him all the love, patience and daily attention he needed. I don't have much real experience with food, walking and bathing. I am reliable, friendly and treat everyone like a family. I am available from Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday mornings until 10 a.m. and in the afternoon from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Sundays only in the mornings until 11 p.m. My first language is Spanish but I don't speak English very well or fluently, I know basic things but I understand most of them. I give food and water on time. I walk them, play a little and keep everything clean. I tell the owner how it goes with photos.
“Shannon was great. She made time for a meet and greet before our stay to make sure her home was a good fit. My dog seem to have such a good time playing with her pups. She sent regular updates and pictures. We will 100% book with her again.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner since 10 years old and have not gone without mans best friend since! I currently live on 23 acres in the country and long walks and chasing balls packs in most of the day with my 4 dogs Jetta, Odie, Ruby and Rowley. All dogs are dog friendly and well mannered. Graduating puppy classes to canine good citizen classes, plus dabbling in agility and herding. I currently work Weekends Friday-Sunday and my week is filled with lots of outdoor time on my hobbies farm. Lots of free time during the week helps me have fun with my animals and enjoy the sunshine. All my pets are cat and dog friendly and have full freedom of the property. New comers are always on a 12 foot leash during playtime and walks, unless E-collar trained. When first meeting owners I go over your dogs recall manners and slowly introduce them to the pack on a long property walk. This helps incorporate pack leadership and expelling energy at the same 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!”
“Scott was great!! He was very accommodating with all of Sadie’s needs and our concerns. He mentioned a few activities that he would do and showed us where Sadie would go out and play. The area was fenced in and very secure. He has two dogs of his own and they were very friendly and Sadie got along great with them.We felt very comfortable after dropping Sadie with Scott. We highly recommend him, and would certainly use his services anytime.”
“It was just the first short trail stay before Coco stays with Erica while we will be on summer vacation. Erica sent pictures & made friends with Coco in that short period of time and this makes me very comfortable when I will have to leave my cutie behind for 2 weeks. Erica’s place is clean and she made a very good & dog-experienced impression from the first minute on, when we saw her for the meet and greet. Great sitter!!! Thank you.”
