“Holly was great with Loki! She picked up on his occasional anti-social attitude toward other dogs and let him stay close to her where he is more comfortable. He seemed happy when I picked him up. They were very responsive with communication and easy to make an appointment with!”
“Melissa and her sweet family took such great care of my high energy dog. Not only did she send a ton of adorable pictures of the pack exercising & snuggling, but from the moment she greeted my dog, I could tell she was in good hands. I definitely will be using her services again, my dog came home super tired and looked so happy throughout the day! Thank you Melissa!”
“Peter did a great job with our dog despite the challenges that a young dog brings. He was extremely professional and took care of our dog like his own. We received updates and photos throughout the day which was great as well. He has a real passion for dogs and is a caring & trustworthy person. Thanks again!”
“Oh how grateful we are to Jody's excellent and sensitive care and support! Our pup had started to have so much anxiety and we were feeling desperate about what to do! Jody is sweet, attentive and caring. You know you've found the right person when your dog runs up to greet her and is so happy to be with her. Jody is the one!”
“Rebecca was awesome!! She was super accommodating to a last minute booking and was very thoughtful and attentive to the needs of my dog who recently was adopted from a shelter.”
“My first time here on Rover and we had a great experience. Thank you so much! I’m so happy I found Leslie & James. The dogs were in great hands and I felt reassured they will be cared for from the get go.”
“Laura R. (a/k/a Namine) and her boyfriend, Ruben L., have started their own doggy daycare and dog boarding business, detailed on www.apaw2love.com. Laura and Ruben tag-team around their respective work schedules and, like many new business owners, are eager to please. They watched my new puppy on several different occasions. On each visit, I found them to be dependable, kind and attentive. Laura even trimmed my puppy's nails! More importantly, my puppy has always been excited to return and reluctant to leave.”
“Bonni was good with our little Havanese dog. I liked the yard area including some grass. Bonni was accommodating to our schedule of daytime/evening schedules. We took our dog with us at night. Thanks Bonni!”

“Melinda was wonderful! She was very friendly and knowledgeable about dogs and dog behavior, and that put us much more at ease. Our dog is deaf, so it’s always a little stressful having him stay with someone else for the first time, but he had an amazing time, and we would absolutely book with Melinda again!”
About: Hello, My name is Faith! I am 22 Years Old! Can’t wait to Board your furry friend or even take care of them for the day! To put your mind at ease I am home 24/7 mostly and your furry friend will have all my attention(: Just moved to a house so I would like to share it with your furry animals!

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. As the founder of a nonprofit rescue, I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies to introverted senior cats, and I truly believe every animal deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood. I specialize in shy, quirky, or high-needs pets—those who might take a little extra patience (and maybe a snack bribe or two) to warm up. The photos you see here? They’re a mix of foster pets, my personal pets, and beloved dog-sitting clients. If your pet has ever been described as “a little dramatic,” “selectively friendly,” or “too smart for their own good,” we’ll get along just fine. My approach is gentle, flexible, and grounded in experience—and lots of treats. I tailor my care to each pet’s needs and personality, whether they’re a wild child or a cuddle bug. My goal is for your furry family member to feel right at home—even when they’re not. Someone is home most of the day, so your pets will have plenty of companionship. We’re only ever away for a max of four hours at a time—perfect for pets who need extra snuggles or supervision. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love making new pals. I can easily crate your pup if needed or keep them separated if they prefer their own space. My home is pet-proofed, cozy, and always full of love (and treats).
About: - PetTech 6.5 hour CPR and First Aid training (expires April 2027) - Westside Animal Shelter dog walker, volunteer experience - Experienced with multiple types of dogs (large breed, reactive, puppies, etc.) - Comfortable with detailed care instructions and special needs I take pride in providing your fur babies with attentive and active care. My goal is to provide clients with the peace of mind that their home and animals will be treated with care and respect while they are away. Please reach out if you have any questions! I work part-time (Thursday-Saturday 3-8pm) and offer same day availability during the weekday. I am available Sunday-Wednesday for boarding, daycare, and housesitting. I am available on holiday weekends with at least one week notice. My home has a large, high fenced backyard and is pet friendly. My dog is a dog's dog and loves nothing more than a play date. While not under my active supervision, I can offer a kennel in a temperature controlled environment. In my client's home, I am respectful to any house rules and special requests. I want you and your animals to feel comfortable and I am happy to reinforce your routine while you are away.
About: I love all animals! There aren’t any that I can think of that I wouldn’t care for in a home. I’ve been taking care of animals since a child and currently have 2 dogs and 2 ducks and a fish. I can also care for rodents and reptiles. I have open availability for all jobs. I prefer to either drop in and out or board them at my house as needed due to my own animals. At home, we have a large fenced yard and I walk our dogs daily. I feed according to your specifications and am flexible to your pets needs. At your place, I like to go over your pet's favorite things to do there and see where the toys are kept!
“I needed a last minute day care for my puppy bear that was spayed a week ago. Bear still had a cone and being a rescue she is still learning things like potty training as well as getting comfortable with humans. That being said I was timid to leave her with anyone she didn't know, however tamara handled her perfectly. I was able to work without worrying about my puppy, I had asked for updates at 11 and 3 which she provided with pictures as well as a detailed summery of the day. If your a first time rover user I defiantly recommend her!”
About: We have two bullmastiffs who are very friendly, well socialized and love to play with other doggies. I love to care for and play with them and I will care for and play with your doggies like they are my own. I am free on the weekends and update my weekday availability on here. I will always make your dogs safety and care my #1 priority while in my care. We have a fenced yard for them to run around in and a dog door so they can cool off inside whenever they want to. Our house is “puppy proofed” and dogs are free to climb onto couches and beds.

Lauren B.
“Lauren is the only person I trust with all my dogs. We have a Dane/mastiff, German shepherd, cattle dog mix and hound mix. She has watched my pack for years and always does so with the utmost love and care. From walks to the park, playing ball and administering medications (both by mouth and sub q) she has done it all! My dogs all have unique behaviors, quirks and medical needs and she pays special attention to each of them. It’s such a relief to leave them in such good hands!”
