“We appreciate Courtney Soo much. She was so friendly and reassuring. My mom was nervous to leave our dogs with someone we didn't know, but after meeting her we felt confident that our dogs were safe. She treated them like part of the family and sent lots of pictures. Courtney's home is inviting and very clean. We felt confident about leaving our two dogs with her. We didn't have to worry while on vacation because we knew they were well taken care of. Thanks so much Courtney! ☺️”
“Josh and Cheryl were absolutely incredible with our dog, Tuck. He’s a high-energy, challenging pup who needs a lot of stimulation, and they went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for, engaged, and happy. They were attentive, active, and cared for him like their own. When his collar broke, they even bought him a new one without hesitation—such a thoughtful gesture that speaks to how much they truly care. We also loved receiving regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t recommend them more highly—if we could give more than 5 stars, we would!”
“Ruby is awesome! She is great with communication and kept us updated with pictures and videos. She loves animals and Lucy our Sheepdog had a great stay. Thank you so much! A+”
“David is a wonderful dog sitter for Willow. When I drop her off it's like dropping her off at her best friend's home. She walks around and checks out the front yard and the garage and happily goes in the house with David. Breakfast and walks down the road with David and she's in love forever. David is so accomodating and cares so much for Willow, I have no reservations leaving her in David's trusting care.”
“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.”
“Ellen was a great sitter and we would definitely book her again. Her care and communication were top notch! We received many texts and videos each day giving us peace of mind. She is the best!”
“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.”
“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! ❤️”
“Our Linus had such an enjoyable time with Mary! He was comfortable with her from the minute he walked in the door! Mary made it so easy for us too! She had so many toys, blankets, bowls, leash etc, it made preparing for his stay a breeze! Mary's love for dogs is evident and her caring nature made it easy to know we were leaving our baby in good hands!! Wish I could give her more than 5 stars!! She is the BEST!”
“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.”
“Gianina was a great host to Kona! She sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend! She had a great yard for him to explore, and she took him on nice walks. We will definitely book with her again if we travel!”
“Is very flexible and was available when needed! We loved getting the pictures and updates on vacation. It gave us peace of mind that Remi was doing great while we were away.”
“Ryan was a great host to my two boys. He was great to work with and went the extra mile to help me out in a diffacult situation where I had to travel with very short notice for work. I would recommend Ryan to anyone looking to board their dogs and will be using him in the future again!”
“Marie took wonderful care of our dog for over 7 days. We really appreciated the daily updates and pictures; it was apparent that our dog got a lot of special attention and love! It allowed us to enjoy our vacation and not worry about how he was doing. Thanks so much, Marie! We would love to book with you again in the future!”
“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!”
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.
“Cari and her family did a wonderful job taking care of Russell. He got lots of walks, plenty of play time, and tons of snuggles. He especially liked playing with the girls. Will definitely use her again.”
“Heather is a fabulous dog sitter! We boarded our pup, Ivy, at her home. We had to extend Ivy’s stay by one night and Heather was extremely accommodating. Ivy even went on a few outings with her! When we dropped our pup her home, I could tell upon meeting her that Heather’s demeanor is gentle and calming.”
“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!”

“Courtney did a great job of keeping our fur babies company and set our minds at ease during our trip to Italy. We looked forward to the pictures and notes every day. We look forward to using her services again when we are away camping this summer. We highly recommend Courtney!!!!!”
“First time using a pet sitter. Courtney was very sweet and friendly and easy to talk to. My kitty is older and I needed someone who could watch over him at the last minute. Courtney did a great job. Very good communication with her. I will definitely use her again. Thank you so much it eased my mind knowing you were watching over him”
“Alyssa has been an absolute Godsend! Otis adored her and she understood exactly what we needed to feel reassured that our baby was a great hands while we were away. She will be our first choice when we need a sitter for Otis again. Highly recommended.”
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.
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.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the past couple years for neighbors, friends and family where I’ve walk, fed, played and, bathe them. I’m currently working part time and free in most mornings and afternoons to take your dogs or puppies for a walks and playtime. I’m free most weekends if need someone for pet sitting. 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.
“Tammy was able to care for our cats with no issues. Weather was very hot when she cared for them and communicated with me about the temperature in the house and asked permission to open windows. Would definitely hire again.”
“We were so happy to find a petsitter with cat experience on a holiday weekend. Bella agreed to house & pet sit for us and she went out of her way to spend extra time with our two housecats for two daily visits, and was even able to spend two nights in spite of her busy schedule. The cats warmed up to her and she reported having bed-buddies for the nights she stayed over. I was pleased that she heeded my request to contact us about anything, big or small. Thank you Bella, for watching our kitties & household!!”

“Henry has no anxiety when I drop him off and he is always calm and content when I pick him up. Courtney obviously cares well for the dogs trusted to her. I appreciate her flexibility in the times I drop off and pick up.”
“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.”
“This was Reba's second time with Amber and Korey. She was so excited to see them again. She loves them. It's clear they're dog lovers from the greeting Reba gave them when we arrived, how anxious she was to see them. and the pictures of Amber playing with her. Their girls got her a new toy again too. So sweet!”
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 Wheaten Terrier Pippin gets so happy and excited once he realizes we are headed to David's place. David is always careful with supervision and introductions and had been accepting of Pippin's "quirks" like holding down the water bowl with a paw in the bowl... we appreciate the photos and updates when Pip is with David for longer stays. If there were more stars available to award, David would deserve them all for his level of attention and caring!”
“I’m really happy with Ruby…she definitely loves animals and takes very good care of them…I know our puppy (also named Ruby) had a lot of fun cause she’s tired today,i will definitely be using her again and probably often”
“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: Dogs are a big part of our daily life.

“Amber is amazing! She has so much love and patience for my dog gunner, on walks. This is the first time I’ve ever had anyone else provide care for gunner and I’m glad I picked just the right person. She even met my other two dogs and they loved her as well. I highly recommend her.”
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.
“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!.”
About: Give your dog a fun 30-minute walk around town or on a local trail. I welcome multiple dogs, and every walk provides exercise, exploration, and mental enrichment. ( and some yummy treats ) My 30-minute pet check-ins provide potty breaks, meals, walks, and quality playtime, ensuring your furry friends stay comfortable and loved while you're away. Pictures are included with each walk/visit! I have worked in a dog daycare/boarding facility for the past 3 years with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I have over 5 years of experience with dogs of my own. I spend lots of time taking them on walks and hikes. I have experience to care for your senior pups and administering medication, as well. My favorite thing to is walk dogs and I can work with your pup on leash manners. I am also open to working with aggressive and/or reactive dogs. Can't wait to meet some new furry friends! I work a full time job about 30 hours a week. I am looking to walk/sit your pets in the evenings and some weekday/weekend availability depending on my hours. I am also open to holiday care. I won't be offering care in my home, but I will carefully follow all of the care instructions for your pups and cats and be sure to send you updates on the visits/walks.
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.

“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.”
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.
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 working FT so im only available evenings after 5 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.
“Working with Rita is great! She is reliable and accommodating, my dog loves walks with her and she really takes the extra time to play with my dog and take care of her, and watches her carefully. She definitely has a love for dogs and that shows. I highly recommend working with her!!! She’s great!!!!”
“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: I have always had dogs in the household ever since I was born. More specifically my family had my sister and I grow up around Black Labs the entirety of my life. Neighbors as well as my immediate family have relied on me to take care of their animals. Whether it be a short walk or staying with them for an extended period of time, I was their guy! I have an extremely open/flexible schedule. I am self employed so I pretty much choose when I want to work my other job. Taking care of animals via Rover will take top priority unless my job situation changes. If that occurs I will make sure to update my profile accordingly! I have no other animals/roommates in my apartment. So your dog/cat will get all the undivided love and attention they deserve while you're away. Same rules apply if I am asked to dog/cat sit at a clients home!
About: Pet Care Experience: Ive had dogs my whole life and will be starting vet tech school in fall. Ive had experiece caring for various sizes, breeds, and ages for almost a year on Rover and over four years on occasion for friends and family members. I have experience not only in walking, feeding, and general care but in bathing, administering medication, and and basic training as well. I have also taken care of several senior dogs some of whom have needed help walking or supporting themselves when going to the bathroom. While I am most experienced in caring for dogs, I have also cared for over a half dozen cats via drop ins and house sittings. This means I am familiar with how to clean and empty litter boxes and I have no qualms about cleaning up any "presents" they may give me. Schedule: Im curently attending school in the spring in fall but my only job is self employed pet sitting through Rover. I have very few other commitments, especially during the summer and on weekends, so I will have plenty of time to play, cuddle, care for, and adore your furbaby or furbabies. Safety and Trust: Since I am not currently employed outside of Rover I will be able to stay with your cat or dog more than 90% of the time during a sitting. Similarily when doing drop ins I almost always can accomodate whatever time the owner would like me to come. My vast experience with dogs and cats has taught me in general what to do and what not to do which allows me to focus on learning the idiosyncrities of your pet during the meet and greet. This experience has also taught me that meet and greets are extremely important so I'm sure to always find a time to complete one with pet owners. Therefore, you will always have the opportunity to meet me, observe how I interact with your pet(s), address any concerns you may have and discuss details in person. During both sittings and drop ins I'm always sure to provide plenty of updates, pictures, and information so you know that your furbaby or furbabies are being well taken care of.

I am willing to walk, bath, snuggle ,and give them my full attention
About: I have had pets my entire life. I dog and cat sit for my family members and take my neighbor dogs for walks very frequently. I am a college student, but I have a very flexible schedule. I have availability every day of the week and would love to spend my free time with animals. I have a house with a backyard with an extra bedroom to put any pet requirements such as a crate or toys. I am very trustworthy and loving of all animals.
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: I have helped my family take care of our pets almost my whole life! Since moving out I’ve had my own pets (cats and dogs). I understand the importance of giving your pet attention while you’re gone, since they could be stressed with the change in routine! I’m a farm girl at heart! I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, sheep, ducks, chickens, cows, pigs, rats, hamsters….you name it! I work from home so I’m available to spend time with your pets throughout the day! As long as I have access to Wi-Fi I can work from anywhere! I am comfortable with crate training if your pet needs it. I follow direction very well so just leave me with a detailed note on how things run and I’ll keep it as consistent as possible for your pet!
About: I've had pets my whole life. From dogs and cats to hamsters, turtles, rabbits, and gerbils I have experience with them all. I've always had a great love for animals and I went to college to become a certified veterinary assistant so I could work with animals for a living as well as a hobby. I took a break from working when I had kids and I'm looking to do something fulfilling again while not going back to a fulltime job. I also have experience with volunteering at the local humane society for years and caring for my own pets.I would love to care for your pets and love them as if they are my own. I am available most weekdays and weekends. I have a very flexible schedule so just send me a text and I'm sure I can work something out 🙂 I have a good sized yard providing plenty of space for your furbaby to run around on leash. I have 4 small friendly dogs to keep your furbaby company when they visit.

“We appreciate Courtney Soo much. She was so friendly and reassuring. My mom was nervous to leave our dogs with someone we didn't know, but after meeting her we felt confident that our dogs were safe. She treated them like part of the family and sent lots of pictures. Courtney's home is inviting and very clean. We felt confident about leaving our two dogs with her. We didn't have to worry while on vacation because we knew they were well taken care of. Thanks so much Courtney! ☺️”
“Josh and Cheryl were absolutely incredible with our dog, Tuck. He’s a high-energy, challenging pup who needs a lot of stimulation, and they went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for, engaged, and happy. They were attentive, active, and cared for him like their own. When his collar broke, they even bought him a new one without hesitation—such a thoughtful gesture that speaks to how much they truly care. We also loved receiving regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t recommend them more highly—if we could give more than 5 stars, we would!”
“Ruby is awesome! She is great with communication and kept us updated with pictures and videos. She loves animals and Lucy our Sheepdog had a great stay. Thank you so much! A+”
“David is a wonderful dog sitter for Willow. When I drop her off it's like dropping her off at her best friend's home. She walks around and checks out the front yard and the garage and happily goes in the house with David. Breakfast and walks down the road with David and she's in love forever. David is so accomodating and cares so much for Willow, I have no reservations leaving her in David's trusting care.”
“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.”
“Ellen was a great sitter and we would definitely book her again. Her care and communication were top notch! We received many texts and videos each day giving us peace of mind. She is the best!”
“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.”
“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! ❤️”
“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.”
“Ryan was a great host to my two boys. He was great to work with and went the extra mile to help me out in a diffacult situation where I had to travel with very short notice for work. I would recommend Ryan to anyone looking to board their dogs and will be using him in the future again!”
“Marie took wonderful care of our dog for over 7 days. We really appreciated the daily updates and pictures; it was apparent that our dog got a lot of special attention and love! It allowed us to enjoy our vacation and not worry about how he was doing. Thanks so much, Marie! We would love to book with you again in the future!”
“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!”
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!”
“Great communication from initial contact until pick up. Appreciated the daily updates and pictures. Biscuit had a great "staycation" over the weekend. We will use Anna for our dog sitting needs again.”
“Lisa and her family were amazing for boarding our dog overnight! This was our trial run for an upcoming longer stay. Our dog loved being at Lisa’s house! I think she thought she was at camp and loved it!”
“No one will give your doggy more attention than Micah! We received photos and videos and other updates of our pup having a great time in a wonderful, roomy setting with opportunities for nature strolls. Highly recommend!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and in our home, pets are truly family. I’m a mom to one little boy and also a proud dog mom to my fur babies. My family and I are all animal lovers, and we understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. We have rescued two of our family pets, one who has since passed and our current dog, Ollie. Because of Ollie, we know firsthand how important a safe and secure yard is. We live on an acre in Sussex with a fully fenced-in yard, which gives dogs plenty of space to safely run, play, sniff, and enjoy being outside. My husband and mom both work from home, so there is almost always someone here. This allows pets to have frequent potty breaks, outdoor time, attention, and company throughout the day. We love making dogs feel like part of our family while they are with us. I care for every pet the way I would want someone to care for my own, with patience, love, attention, and lots of updates. Whether your dog loves to play, relax, cuddle, or explore the yard, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved during their stay. I currently work full time but have a flexible schedule. I am available for pet sitting at a clients home. I am also available for early morning walks or after work, and even drop in visits during the day. I care for other’s pets as I would want anyone to treat my own pets. I believe our pets are part of the family and I would want anyone to treat my pet to the best of their abilities.
