“My dog Leo has been coming here every weekday for the past year, and Sarah and her family have really treated him like one of their own.

“Tom looked after my little pup snooper for a few hours and snooper was calm and happy when I picked him up. I appreciate how prepared they are.. it really conveys another level of care for our pups. We have been there a couple times when in town, and I appreciated their flexibility because I didn’t know how long I would be away. Definitely recommend. Thanks Tom (and debbie)”

“It was great having Kelly take care of Felix. She was very communicative throughout the whole process as this was our first time using the Rover app. She took so many cute photos of Felix and you can tell Felix was smiling and having a good time with Kelly’s lovely family. So happy that we found Kelly to take care Felix when needed. Thank you, Kelly!”

11. Khrystyna M.
“She’s an amazing caregiver because she always puts the needs of the pets first. She’s responsible, caring, and always ready to help. Her love for dogs shines through in everything she does—from walks to playtime. She can connect with any dog, no matter their personality or age. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with my own pet!”
12. Claire & David B.
“Claire & David are two of the most responsible and loving dog owners I know. When they first got their dog son, Asher, they were so loving, patient, and kind. They taught me almost everything I know when it comes to dogs, so when I first got my first dog son, I was so equipped to raise him! Asher is also the sweetest boy and gets along with all humans and animals. They have cared for my dog many times, and I wouldn’t trust anyone more to care for my dog baby, and they sure will take wonderful care of yours!”
13. Anna N.
About: My name is Anna, I’m a mom of two and lifelong animal lover. Have experience caring for dogs of all age, size, breed. All animals have very different personalities and needs. Experience with elderly, special needs, aggressive, anxious, and medication administration. I understand how crazy busy life can get and sometimes you need a little help at home, that’s where I come in! At work and thinking of your pup? I’ll check in and let you know how thier day is going, including a picture/video of how happy they are! Going on vacation? I’ll make sure your dog gets the attention they crave. Love and care is what I can provide, just let me know how I can help! I also offer home cleaning and laundry services. Basic cleaning at $0.15/sq ft, deep cleaning at an hourly rate based on exact need, and laundry at $0.50/lb, oversized items priced per item. All nice services to add on to drop in visits, that way you come back from vacation or a long day of work to a clean home and happy pet. Feel free to ask me questions and fill me in on how your family is in need of assistance! My schedule is mostly open. Just quick trips for school drop offs, which if your pup likes car rides they are welcome to come! I work from home. I respect privacy and preference. I understand how particular animals can be and will always follow the owners lead on what to do/not to do. I also never post anything on social media unless I get your approval ahead of time.
14. James & Caitlyn S.
“James took our husky puppy for the day. She had a good mix of play with others and rest so that, when I picked her up, she was happily tired but not overstimulated. We will definitely be using him again to care for our pup.”
15. Alesia K.
“Alesia and ger family were super sweet with Mishka! They let him borrow a tennis ball to play fetch because I forgot to bring his. Her daughter even drew a beautiful picture of him and she is the most talented!! He came home happy and tired.”

17. David & Bryan S.
“I've know David for a long time now and he's always been a great friend to dogs. He has always been very comfortable around them, but more importantly they are always comfortable around him. I haven't seen a dog that hasn't loved him. If he still lived near us we would absolutely let him hang out with our dog (a persnickety Shiba Inu named Ouchie).”
18. Lindsay & Chris R.
“Boomer loves staying here. The entire family and dogs are his second home.”
