“Rachel is great! She will love yours as her own. Stays updated and sends pics of your fur babies. Sets up a meet and greet which is wonderful so you know you’re in good hands. Definitely recommend and will definitely use her services again!”
“Blythe is absolutely wonderful!! We have never used a service like this for our Dobie and I was very nervous. Blythe was very easy to get along with and she made sure to send pics and updates daily which put my mind at ease. I highly recommend her to anyone thinking about using this service. Also our guy is an older dog (11) For us it was perfect that she only has one dog at a time. Bentley seemed to be very relaxed and comfortable with her!”
“Zoe gets excited when she arrives at the sitter's house. Rebecca is so wonderful and you can tell from the photos she sends, Zoe has a lot of fun. I will use Rebecca again and again. Lover her!”
“Laura was great! Our dog Dolly seemed well taken care of. Dolly got along really good with her labrador Diesel. He is a sweet boy. Highly recommend her and have scheduled for future plans. Theresa W.”
“If I could give 10 stars, I would!! Every photo, Kody was smiling and genuinely happy. Her attention to detail and compassion shared with your little one is nothing short of a reflection of love.”
“Debbie was wonderful with Charlie!!! He had tons of walks, lots of playing and snuggling along with photos which made me feel so comfortable leaving my baby in her care!! She is very communicative and flexible, I would absolutely 💯 recommend Debbie!!!”
“She was very kind and flexible. Phoenix was in great hands with Katrina, she had lots of fun and exercise. Katrina was great at communication and you could tell she loved watching dogs.”
“Kristi did a great job, our two small dogs were happy when we picked them up and we could tell they were not stressed when we were gone. She snuggles with them on the couch and lets them sleep on the bed. They got along great with her dog. They even got homemade healthy treats. She let us come for a visit before their stay so it would not be a strange place for them to go. She is also 10 minutes from the airport. Will defiantly use Kristi again.”
About: As a dog lover my whole life, I wasn't able to get one of my own until a year and a half ago. Having our golden retriever Tommy has completely changed my life for the better! I absolutely love dogs of all kinds and enjoy being outdoors and playing with them. I work full time remotely, so I am extremely available and flexible to your schedule. I can accommodate any needs and have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, and everywhere in between. Tommy has been professionally trained and gets along great with other dogs. We are able to keep dogs in our apartment if needed, and have lots of parks and sidewalks near by for exercise. I currently work from home full time, so I am very flexible for your pets needs. I currently keep our golden retriever active (as he very much needs it!) and would love to add another dog to the bunch if needed. I live in an apartment but have lots of access to local parks and walking trails. I am available for drop-in visits and walks as well.
“Tyler is great! Very communicative and helpful with all my dog’s special needs and quirks. He has great dog energy and my dog is always soo happy to see him ☺️ I will always recommend Tyler to any friend needing a dog-sitter.”
About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life and have had my own since I was 10, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve also taken care of friends’ dogs, gaining hands-on experience with different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with both big and small dogs, including those who may be anxious or need a little extra patience. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and at ease while they’re in my care :) I’m available throughout the week and work remotely, which allows me to easily adjust my schedule for walks, potty breaks, and attention. I currently have a dog, so I only accept friendly dogs. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where they can feel comfortable and part of the routine. I follow their usual schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions. Since I have a dog, I make sure all pets are properly introduced and only accept dogs that are friendly with others.
“Hannah was great with my shophia she kept me updated every day. Every pictures sge send me of shopia she looked very happy. Definitely recommend hannah she knows what shes doing. Thank you onces again hannah.”

“Marilynn was great with Ari! I’m a first time rover user and she helped put my nerves to rest and answered all my questions and even let us have a meet and great. Her communication was great and we loved seeing what Ari was up to on her vacation. 100% would recommend Marilynn and definitely plan on having Ari stay with her in the future. Thanks for taking such great care of our pup!”
“Ashleigh and her family are the absolute best people I have ever found to take care of my little teddy bear named Buddy. He gets so much attention it is wonderful. He’s happy to see me when I come but I think he wants to stay. I think he just wants me to visit and leave so he can be with them. They are absolutely great.”
“Angela was great, our Penny had a lovely time and came home tired and happy. Angela was great with communication and pictures and very flexible about pick up and drop off. I would definitely bring our Penny back.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Mary and would highly recommend her!! She boarded our dog in her home for nine nights. She was extremely responsive and flexible, and sent lots of pictures with our dog playing and going on walks to his favorite places. We could tell how much she enjoys animals. Thank you for taking such good care of Auggie! 😀”
“Kelli was amazing with my dog Dusty!! She sent frequent updates throughout my time away and made me feel very comfortable through the whole process. My dog definitely loved spending time with her. Would highly recommend Kelli and will definitely be using her services again!”
“Scott was very accommodating and communicative, we got several pictures and even a short video of our dog out playing in the fresh snow. Our dog has a fear of smooth floors and Scott was able to layout enough rugs and beds that Barley was comfortable. Will book again.”

“Cory was wonderful! We hired him for drop in visits for our 2 cats for a week while we were on vacation. He took lots of pictures and was very descriptive in his notes. He also went above and beyond and noticed when my plant humidifier was empty and asked if I wanted that refilled (I did!) House was super clean and the girls were happy to see us when we got home. Highly recommended.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, have helped train family pets, and am certified as a Comfort Dog handler. I have watched dogs from the wee size of a Chihuahua to big fluffy Newfoundlands. I love using patience and kindness to ensure your pups safety and well-being. I agrew up with the high energy of Border Collies, both young and older. I have dogsat at someone's house up to 5 dogs at a time, with varying food needs and medications. I try my best to be flexible and up for anything you need to ensure your furry friend is taken care of the same way I would care for my own. From walks, to watching them in my home, I am here to help you remain confident in your dog's care. For boarding, I do have two dogs that live in residence and would be available for a meet and greet prior to booking. I work a hybrid schedule, so some days I am fully working from home and other days I am in the office and usually pop home in the early afternoon to let my dogs out and finish the day working from home. Dogs get fed before I start work and dinner when I finish. If I work from home I usually take a break outside at some point to play with the pups and after work we can do walks or dog park or hanging out in the yard. I have a fenced yard and two other pups in the home who are relatively chill. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and get lots of snuggles. My own dogs are crate-trained but rarely use them. They are often left on the living room couch when I leave, with a baby gate keeping them in. Can use crates if needed, I own a size small and a size large. My dogs are 25 and 12 pounds. The smaller of the two is a rescue and is extremely chill and friendly to all other dogs. The bigger dog can be sensitive with other dogs sniffing his butt but the most he does is bark at them to move away. He usually minds his own space and doesn't play with other dogs much but also doesn't bother them.
“Stephanie took care of our cats and house over a holiday weekend and was absolutely amazing! Our two cats adored her, she gave us frequent pictures and updates, and she was incredibly pleasant and kind to us as well. We’d recommend her to anyone.”

“This was our first time using Rover and Kailey. We have a very shy cat and after a few days he did come out and engage with her. I’m sure her experience with shy cats certainly helped! Kailey was great with informing while we were away and we loved getting photos and updates. We will definitely use Kailey again in the future!”
“Courney was the absolute best. She helped me with more than just watching my animal. She helped bring in the mail when it got delivered and even went out of her way to get toys for my pet during Christmas time. She is an animal lover for sure. If there is anyone that I would rebook again with it would be her.”
“Elba was amazing. We have 2 cats who both need medication, and one is a little spitfire. She was reliable and managed to give the cats their meds twice a day as we asked! Her pictures were wonderful too.”
“Blythe is an awesome sitter! She was so patient with my anxious kitty and sent me daily images (mostly of her hiding) and reports to keep me up to date. I will definitely ask Blythe to sit for us again! :)”
“I wasn't sure what to expect from my two.. but everything was great! I love the pics and the "bathroom" updates. Joe is great with the "big one..Seamus" and the "little one" warmed up after she realized Joe had food...lol!”
About: I’ve had dogs growing up and currently have one myself, I work at dog daycare/boarding facility and have been there for over 2 years now. I absolutely love dogs and have taken care of them my whole life I work part time in the afternoons but am available most days and am always available in the mornings. I’m also available full time on the weekends I would make sure to take care of any safety precautions necessary to keep your pup or pups safe in your home while you are away!
About: I've had cats my entire life. I enjoy being a cat mom. I would care for your cat like they were my own. I'm experienced with giving medications. I'm not able to provide boarding but will come to your home daily. I'll provide fresh water, food, brushing, playtime and cuddles, if that's what your cat enjoys. I can also send photos to you while you're away. Additional items I will handle while cat sitting are bringing mail in and watering plants. I also have experience with small animals such as pet mice, Guinea pigs, and rabbits. I hope you'll consider me to care for your fur babies while you're away. Some of my personal hobbies are : CATS , Geo Caching, nature walks and collecting beach glass.
About: I’ve owned three cats throughout my life, all of varying ages and personalities. With each new addition, I took the time to slowly and safely introduce them to one another, always respecting their individual boundaries. I understand that every cat adjusts differently, and I’m patient, observant, and committed to creating a calm, low-stress environment where they feel secure. 🐾
“Hannah was the best—she gave me updates at each visit and I came back to find all of the food bowls washed and happy cats. She gave my fat old guy insulin shots twice a day and played with the little guy who is an attention hog. We will be booking her services next time we need to go out of town!”
“Aria did a wonderful job sitting our scaredy-cat. She understands that pets all have different interaction styles, and encouraged Vivien to come out of her shell while respecting her boundaries. Aria persisted in letting Vivien know she wanted to be with her, and was rewarded with cuddles. Vivien appeared content and well taken care of when we arrived home. We would definitely recommend Aria again!”

“Elba was amazing with my little 9 mo. old anxious dog. It was her first time in doggy daycare and Elba was up for the challenge. She had very useful observations and connected well with my little girl, making her feel much more comfortable. We had a great experience!”
“We had a great daycare experience with Jack, he looked after our Winnie! We booked on short notice and he was very flexible, which we really appreciated. Winnie was very well looked after and came home happy and relaxed. I loved the pictures he sent throughout the day, it gave me peace of mind since it was her first time away from home. We will definitely be booking with Jack again! 🐾”

“Chatty seemed to really enjoy her time at Mikeila's house. Mikeila was very good at communicating with me and kept me informed during her stay. Chatty was excited to see Mikeila and couldn't wait to get into her house. I would highly recommend Mikeila for any dog sitting/daycare services.”
“Lotte gets along great with Katrina’s dogs and Katrina is wonderful with her and communicates regularly to let us know how who she is doing. We’re thankful to find someone who can watch her regularly.”
“Markie and Logan came home smiling and tired, which is really all I ask. they had a blast playing with all of the other dogs, and Logan didn't want to come inside from Joe's back yard!”
“Julia and her family was very kind to me and Joker. They took care of Joker all day sending me pictures and videos and explaining how he was doing. Joker was happy in her house and I am sure we will contact her in the future.”
“Erin was an excellent host for Katie for daycare! She greeted Katie outside with a treat. We were updated with pictures throughout the day: including Katie playing with their dogs, relaxing like the queen that she is, and exploring the neighborhood on a walk. Erin was flexible with pickup times which really helped with a changing schedule due to travel delays. Already booked another stay for Katie.”
“Absolutely love Alexandrea and my pup does too. Every time I say “wanna go to the babysitters house” my dog immediately gets excited. That’s how I know my dog is in good care. She takes plenty of photos and she also likes to help when it comes to training. Cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I love animals and have always had them. My friends reach out to me for pet sitting because they know I will take the best care of their fur babies! I have a teacup Yorkie and a cat so if you have a friendly pet, they are welcome to stay by me, but I am also retired so can stay by you if that's more convenient. I am very flexible! I am retired so have all day & evening to spend with your fur babies. I love to walk so would be sure to take your fur babies outside for fresh air any time of the year. I live in a safe area and have beautiful paths for dog walking any time of day. If your pet likes car rides, I love the beach & the water so could have lots of fun taking them wherever they like to go!

About: For over forty years we’ve always had dogs in our home. We have a sweet pitbull mix that we adopted last year. She came from a home with several dogs so she loves to meet and make new friends. We enjoy providing a good home to animals and we look forward to caring for your pets. Potty breaks can be provided every two hours. Your dog will have plenty of opportunities throughout the day to run, play fetch, or explore in our fenced backyard. We try to follow the same routine as you would for your pet at home. We only care for two dogs at a time as we have a dog of our own. The dogs have free run of the house if the owner doesn’t specify otherwise.
“Wendy is the absolute best! Professional, always gives so much love to my Dexter and all her other doggie pals that come over. She gives plenty updates and pictures to assure you that your fur baby is having the time of his his/her life! She’s the best and so friendly and loving. Safety is a big concern of mine. As I’m an over protective dog mom. Quality 10/10 safety 10/10 communication 10/10 and flexibility with scheduling 10/10.”
About: Growing up my family owned a welsh springer spaniel. He was one of my best friends. I felt the same excitement he did when I walked in our front door to his excited jumping. After 13 years, he passed away of old age. Since then I have wanted to get a dog of my own, but I’m waiting until my husband and I get a house to take that step. In the meantime, I love caring for other family dogs. This is a super fun side job for me. I love all types of dogs, have experience with senior dogs, and am happy to care for more than one pet from the same home (whether they be cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, etc.). If your dog is nervous around new people, I will make sure to give them the care, attention, and space that they need. I always give frequent potty breaks, feed them at their regular time, and am very careful around doorways (so no one runs off on any solo adventures!). I always do an initial home visit with my husband so I can meet your pets before setting up a first booking with a new customer. I send great picture updates, so hopefully you won’t miss your dog too much. You will undoubtedly love how passionate I am about keeping your pet in a safe, loving environment while you are away. I am currently working as an 8th grade teacher. I am able to get to your home between the hours of 4pm-10pm on weeknights. I am available all day on Saturdays. I am available Sundays after 10:30am. I am available to do home visits to feed your pets, groom with a brush/bath, play their favorite games, go on long walks or runs, and spend the night if you need a house sitter. I can also take care of other pets including cats, hamsters, fish, chickens, etc. If you need someone to water plants while you are away, I can take care of that too!
About: Since 2020, I have provided consistent care for a variety of dogs and cats, ranging from energetic puppies to adult dogs with unique personalities and care needs. Through caring for family pets, foster dogs, and client pets, I have developed experience with feeding routines, exercise, leash handling, medication administration, basic behavior reinforcement, and maintaining a safe, comfortable environment while owners are away. My sister's five-year-old Goldendoodle, Theo, has been one of the dogs I have cared for most extensively. I regularly pick him up from daycare, provide overnight and multi-day care, take him on hikes and walks, and reinforce positive behaviors. Through consistent training and positive reinforcement, I taught him to greet visitors calmly by sitting patiently before receiving attention, helping him manage his excitement and practice good manners. In addition, I assisted my older sister with the care of her foster dogs, giving me the opportunity to work with more than 15 dogs of varying breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments. This experience strengthened my ability to quickly build trust with new dogs, recognize individual needs, and adapt my care approach accordingly. Most recently, I completed a week-long house-sitting assignment caring for a dog and cat. My responsibilities included administering medications, maintaining feeding and hydration schedules, providing daily exercise through multiple-mile walks, sending regular photo updates to the owners, keeping the home clean and secure, and maintaining a fresh, odor-free litter box. I take pride in providing dependable, attentive care that gives pet owners peace of mind while ensuring their pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently have a flexible schedule to accommodate your dog care needs all throughout the work day, weekends and some evenings as well. I am open to any care needs you have, including at my own house if needed. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medications, potty breaks, and any household rules. During walks and visits, I pay close attention to the pet’s behavior, energy level, and surroundings to ensure their safety. I also provide plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and affection based on each pet’s needs. I keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are happy, well cared for, and maintaining their regular routine while they’re away.
About: I owned a dog growing up and cared for and trained one with my family. I sit for friends and family from time to time and I love to play and take dogs for walks and, if they are able, runs of up to a few miles! I have a fenced in yard, and my kids (4, 8) are also great with animals. I work from home. With the exception of rare travel days, school drop-offs, and evening events, I will always be around the house to care for your pup. Your pet will get the attention it needs, as I work from home and I have a fenced in yard, as well as young boys that are great with animals. Frequent outside visits and play times are very doable.
“Thank you Kait for taking care of Joker. She was updating me all day which is great. Kait’s dog, Zelda, is a wonderful host. We will keep Kait as a regular pet sitter when possible.”

“From the moment we met Gianpaulo we knew!! He bonded immediately with Stanley! He very, very conscientious, very warm and an absolute joy to have around our dog! Cannot recommend him enough!”
About: As a lifelong dog owner, I’ve cared for pups of all sizes, ages, and personalities. From playful puppies to senior dogs, I’ve learned how to tune in to their needs and routines. I treat every dog like my own — with patience and love. Animals have always held a special place in my heart. Your furry friend will feel right at home with me. Dog sitting is more than just watching pets — it’s about creating a safe, loving space while their owners are away. I stick to each dog’s routine, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they feel calm and cared for. I have open availability during weekdays, making scheduling easy and flexible for you. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. In my home, pets have space to relax, play, and feel at ease.

About: I’ve had cats, dogs, and small mammals in my home since I was a kid, so caring for animals truly comes naturally to me. I currently have two dogs — a male black Lab and a female Springer Spaniel — I personally potty trained my Springer and taught both dogs general obedience. I also have experience safely introducing new cats to other cats and to dogs, and I understand the importance of slow, structured transitions. I’m attentive to body language, routines, and each pet’s unique personality. Whether your pet needs structure, playtime, or cuddles, I treat every animal like my own — with patience, consistency, and lots of love. 🐾💛 I am available to assist with walks or potty breaks on weeknights after I get off work around 5pm. I have more open availability on the weekends, as I am off of work from my regular job. On weekends, I can also assist with overnights at my house on Friday and Saturday or hosting during the day. I provide a safe, loving home environment for your pet while you’re away! We have a fully fenced yard (4-5ishft) for supervised play and hardwood floors for easy cleanup. I have a gentle five-year-old daughter who is very comfortable around animals, and my husband. We have two dogs: a male black lab (not neutered) and a female springer spaniel (spayed). If your pet prefers their own space, my dogs can be kenneled in our finished basement, and kept separate to ensure everyone is comfortable. Pets are welcome to snuggle on the furniture or use a cozy pet bed. I provide food and water bowls — you just supply the food. My goal is to make your pet feel right at home!
About: Welcome! With a passion for animals and years of experience, I have developed a strong connection with pets of all breeds, and the feedback from my clients speaks for itself. I offer affordable pricing without compromising on the quality of care, ensuring that your pet receives the love and attention they deserve. Regarding my availability, I do have a six-year-old son who will be with me occasionally, and prior to booking, it is important to consider accepting him as part of the agreement. This does not affect the quality of care, as I ensure both my son and your pet are happy and safe. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I am always mindful of your pet’s well-being, whether we’re out for a walk or spending time together at home. If we encounter other pets, I’ll ensure that the experience is positive and safe. I also respect the privacy of pet owners and follow all instructions carefully, making sure to create an environment where both pets and owners feel comfortable. Homes with cameras are always welcome, and I take great care in maintaining an open line of communication.

About: Hi! My name is Jamie and I have been a dog mom for 6 years, but a pet lover for my whole life. I personally know how difficult it can be to leave your pets alone and I want to give people peace of mind that their best friends are loved and cared for while they are away. I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I love to take my own dogs for walks and adventures around the neighborhood. I also enjoy playing catch with them and cuddling at the end of the day. I have experience taking care of large and small dogs, as well as high energy and low-maintenance dogs. I look forward to giving your animals the care and attention they deserve!
About: I have grown up with dogs and absolutely love them. I enjoy taking walks and playing outside with them. When I watch dogs I make sure they are fed and have enough water and make sure that they have there energy put to good use. If you dog likes to go on long walk or short ones I will enjoy it. If you pet needs extra loving care I can provide that. If you are puppy training I will bring a bag of treats outside and on walks to reward them for going outside. I also will leave your house just as you left it and clean up after your pet. I look forward to spending time with your furry companion. I will go above and beyond to make your dog happy. I have experience with all ages and if your dog needs extra care I will be able to provide for them. I have given meds to dogs before and would do anything for you companion. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me.
“Julia has been a lifesaver for us when we haven’t been able to get home to get our peppy dog out on a walk. She’s been punctual in communicating, clear about her services, and sweet with our dog. Definitely recommend.”
About: My family got our first dog when I was eight years old. Since then, I've always had a pet in my life. When my first cat got sick, I made sure she ate her medicated food and eventually was taught to administer fluids. Since leaving home, I've adopted my first dog. He's a reactive 4 year old. From these experiences, I've learned how to care for animals with special needs. I have worked on training dogs, taking dogs for walks, and feeding animals on a schedule. I generally work early mornings so I have a lot of time in the afternoon/evening to care for your pets! I am available for in-home pet sitting on a case-by-case basis, and I am open to dog walking and drop-in visits. I believe that you deserve a pet sitter who loves your animals as much as you do. I understand that no two pets are the same, and I intend to follow your instructions so I can best support you and your fur-babies. Please reach out with any questions!
About: Married stay at home mom of 3 girls and 1 boy, who loves animals. Pre-covid I was a banquet cook for a living. I have always owned dogs( Pitts and huskys), cats, fish, rats, rabbits, turtles, bearded dragons, snakes, and other animals.. but currently have none of my own.. I'd love to watch others as a way for me to fill the void until I find another forever furpal. I live in a decent sized house with a nice yard so there is plenty of room for animals to roam and stretch their legs. I give animals all the attention they want and need. Couches and beds are free game as long as it's ok with you, I wouldn't want to upset what an animal is used to. At my place there are Treats walks and belly rubs galore. I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is open and my routine can be changed to fit what your pup or other animal needs. I have no animals of my own and usually only take one family at a time for boarding and 2 families for doggy daycare unless discussed ahead of time with clients so I can match your pets normal care schedule and routine.
“Alex is reliable, dependable, and flexible dog walker. She’s been able to get our dog to go to the bathroom on walks (our dog always refused before) and to start loose leash walking. Lily loves Alex and waits at the front door for Alex to pick her up on walk days. I highly recommend Alex!”

“Blythe is absolutely wonderful!! We have never used a service like this for our Dobie and I was very nervous. Blythe was very easy to get along with and she made sure to send pics and updates daily which put my mind at ease. I highly recommend her to anyone thinking about using this service. Also our guy is an older dog (11) For us it was perfect that she only has one dog at a time. Bentley seemed to be very relaxed and comfortable with her!”

About: As a dog lover my whole life, I wasn't able to get one of my own until a year and a half ago. Having our golden retriever Tommy has completely changed my life for the better! I absolutely love dogs of all kinds and enjoy being outdoors and playing with them. I work full time remotely, so I am extremely available and flexible to your schedule. I can accommodate any needs and have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, and everywhere in between. Tommy has been professionally trained and gets along great with other dogs. We are able to keep dogs in our apartment if needed, and have lots of parks and sidewalks near by for exercise. I currently work from home full time, so I am very flexible for your pets needs. I currently keep our golden retriever active (as he very much needs it!) and would love to add another dog to the bunch if needed. I live in an apartment but have lots of access to local parks and walking trails. I am available for drop-in visits and walks as well.
“Tyler is great! Very communicative and helpful with all my dog’s special needs and quirks. He has great dog energy and my dog is always soo happy to see him ☺️ I will always recommend Tyler to any friend needing a dog-sitter.”
About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life and have had my own since I was 10, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve also taken care of friends’ dogs, gaining hands-on experience with different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with both big and small dogs, including those who may be anxious or need a little extra patience. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and at ease while they’re in my care :) I’m available throughout the week and work remotely, which allows me to easily adjust my schedule for walks, potty breaks, and attention. I currently have a dog, so I only accept friendly dogs. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where they can feel comfortable and part of the routine. I follow their usual schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions. Since I have a dog, I make sure all pets are properly introduced and only accept dogs that are friendly with others.

“I do not have enough nice things to say about Erin! She is so thoughtful and kind, and you can tell she truly loves and cares about all dogs. It’s never easy leaving your fur baby with someone, but Erin makes this task so much less daunting. I know my dog is safe with her and she takes all steps to ensure the stay is a good fit on both ends. I’m so glad we were able to connect with Erin and Brian as I feel like I’ve truly found great people to watch over my pup when I’m away without having to worry. Her pups norm and Reuben are also great! I can’t thank Erin enough to caring for my baby and truly appreciate her!”
“Amanda was great! She was extremely accommodating for us and our pup Ginger! Her son was also great when it came to giving Ginger extra love and attention! Definitely recommend Amanda for any of your boarding needs.”
