“Julie did great job making me and my dog Stella Watson very comfortable from meet and greet thru 1st daycare visit. Stella had wonderful time playing with Zilla and zooming around the yard and house. Will be hoping to visit again soon!”

“Elena is kind and attentive, not to mention intuitive and smart with dogs! Millie (my pup) loves her and Zoe, and they all have so much fun that Millie homes home tired and happy every time. I feel so comfortable sending her there, and love seeing the pictures of millie enjoying herself! Three cheers for Elena!!”

“Drew is incredible. Our 11 month old Bernese absolutely loves spending his days with Drew. We recently had a baby and need some extra hands/love/attention for puppy. He is patient (must be to put up with our Lenny some days) and super easy to work with. We are so grateful to have found Drew, and Lenny is too!”

About: I grew up on a farm in Texas, where I had at least four dogs and six cats in the house throughout my life. I love pets more than anything! To that extent, I worked in a boarding kennel throughout high school and college before Rover existed. I now have five years of experience with Rover and Wag in multiple cities and states. My experience in boarding kennels and with Rover has allowed me to see and handle a wide range of situations in high-stress environments while having been professionally responsible for the safety and comfort of hundreds of animals. I will always provide compassionate care for your pets, as my goal is to make you feel comfortable and relaxed during your time away, just as much as your furry companions do with me. As a PhD student, I have the flexibility to read and write at home, and I enjoy alleviating stress with pet care. Additionally, my husband works from home, so the house almost always has a human or two around :) Pet safety is my number one priority. A close second is providing a comfortable and fun environment. For boarding and daycare, the basement is set up for pups to relax and play, and the house is segmented by gates to secure their safety as well as protect our belongings. I provide crates for separation if necessary, particularly around feeding time or depending on the night routine. Additionally, I have a spacious, fenced backyard (our favorite part of the house!), and I will always supervise pups when outside. I pick up poop immediately and keep an eye on whether curious mouths pick up things. For the extra adventurous pups, I also have a 30ft tie-out cable for additional security. Although I have a cat in the house, she stays exclusively in the primary bedroom, and with many gates and doors in place, the likelihood of the pups encountering her is extremely low. For drop-ins, I assure you that I will follow your directions and leave your home in the same condition as when you left it originally. My reviews can attest to that :)

“Our big Labradoodle LOVED his first visit of Kathryn and Joe and their kids. They sent pictures while we were gone showing a happy dog and our dog was still happy (and a bit reluctant to leave) when we picked him up. I'm grateful we found Kathryn and Joe and will use them again.”

“Cameron is a great with our pup and very easy to work with. He is a great communicator and gives great feedback when we pick up our dog. Finally, our dog loves Cameron and is always excited to get dropped off.”

“Thanks for giving my fur babies extra love & walks so I could enjoy the day with family. The dogs slept 3 hours on a rainy trip back home. Love the pictures & feed back on their day!”

Amy H.

“Kilo came back very happy and sleepy from the day with Kristin and family. I got updates without having to ask, which I really appreciated. I think she had a great time and I’d trust bringing my pup back. Thanks again!!”

“Robert is great! Our dogs had a wonderful few days of doggy daycare at Robert's home. He was very responsive and accommodating on drop-offs and pick-ups. He sent plenty of pictures and the dogs came home happy every day.”

Bryan W.

“Excellent Provider! Amy was professional and friendly. Communication was great and we could tell both our pup and Amy were having a great time. Our dog came home tired and happy - perfect! We would recommend Amy as a provider and we use her services again without hesitation.”

“Sadie was comfortable with Maegan and Poppy. That made leaving her easy. Maegan was very kind and has a great setup for dogs, wonderful back yard. I highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid, and it’s something I truly love. Friends and family have always trusted me to walk, bathe, and care for their pets like they were my own. I don’t just watch dogs—I connect with them, make them feel safe, and treat them with real love. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I currently have a part-time job with flexible hours, which gives me plenty of free time to focus on your dog. I’m available every day of the week, at any time, and I’d love to take your pup on walks, to the park, or just spend quality time playing and keeping them happy. At home, my entire family shares a love for dogs—especially my 14-year-old daughter, who absolutely adores giving them lots of affection. When your dog is with us, they’ll be treated like part of the family, surrounded by love, attention, and warmth. We’re not just pet sitters—we’re dog lovers through and through! I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs—they’ve always been my happy place and a big part of my life. Caring for them comes naturally to me, and that love extends throughout my entire household all truly adore dogs and are always excited to help care for them. In our home, your dog will be treated like family. I’ll make sure they’re well-fed, walked regularly, and get plenty of playtime—especially at the park, where they can enjoy fresh air and fun. My 14-year-old daughter loves spending time with dogs and will make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and truly at home. With us, your dog will be showered with love, attention, and the kind of care that goes beyond basic needs—we treat them like one of our own.

“Pri took care of my 9 month old for puppy daycare when I needed to get some painting done at the house. Lily can be busy so she probably kept Pri on her toes throughout the day. Pri sent adorable pictures of their walks and Lily came home tired and happy! Looking forward to booking again in the future.”

“Perfect. My pup went into Christina and Jeremy's house a little nervous and came out wagging. Christina and Jeremy were well set up, easy to work with and clearly like dogs. My guy will be back!”

David H.

“Christine is great! Our big rambunctious pup has so much fun there playing with the hang, he comes home good and tired. She takes great care of him, even gave him some of her homemade dog food when he wasn’t eating well (with permission of course). She really knows dogs well and we trust her completely with our pup.”

About: I've always believed that pets were family too. And in the care I give for each one, I treat them that way. Each animal is unique and special and wonderful in their own way. I have always had a love for animals and have an array of experience with a variety of different ones. I have two cats myself and grew up consistently with dogs and other animals as well. I have over ten years of Pet sitting/boarding/dog walking, pet care etc. I have a very big yard and a lot of flexibility. I am also extremely active, and strive to make each animal feel safe, loved, and cared for at all times. I would love to meet you and your furry friend. Just send me a message and we can connect. I work from home 5 days a week and have an array of time readily available to go on walks among other things. I easily have the space in my home to provide care for any animal that needs it. I treat the animal or pet as if they were my own, I get to know the rules and expectations of each client and their needs or desires for the care for their pet as well. I am highly understanding and take the time to get to know the individuals I assist.

About: I am committed to providing individualized care, strong attention to detail, and genuine interest and compassion for animals. I grew up in a family that took in a variety of pets to provide a safe home. I am a strong believer in your fuzzy friends being your best friends. They deserve to be treated with care and love while you're away, just as I would want for my dog. I rescued my miniature pinscher 6 years ago and she is now 15 years old! She is both an old lady and still my little baby. I love all animals and I'm so excited to meet yours! I have experience working with children and youth with diverse needs, and that level of care and patience extends naturally to animals with anxiety, behavioral challenges, or special routines. My background in caregiving and support work has taught me to be highly responsible, communicative, and reliable. I’m organized, dependable, and quick to respond — qualities that give pet owners peace of mind. I also go the extra mile with photo updates, customized activities, and keeping pets happy and stress-free while their humans are away. I’m active and love outdoor time — whether it’s long walks, playing fetch, or trail adventures, I’m happy to match your dog’s energy level. I work from home so I have a flexible schedule from 7am-5pm, but it is not consistent every day. I am able to work my schedule around visits and walks if I have enough time to plan. Just message me with details! I could board pets during the day if it's a small dog with no aggression. I have a 15 year old miniature pinscher that gets anxious around medium-large dogs that have anxiety as well and/or some aggression. I am happy to do drop ins and walks throughout the day!

About: Feel comfortable and confident with the care your dog receives! Let’s be honest, sending your dog to a new home or having a new friendly face in your home while you are away can be stressful for you and your pup. I make the transition feel easy and calm for both of you so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pup is well cared for. I work to keep your dog’s routine in tact (very important) and you up to speed on your dog’s care. I’m a highly experienced sitter, proactive and responsive communicator, and a playful, compassionate human. I don’t have a dog so your pup will get my full attention - I will keep up with any behavior training and ensure your dog gets the activity they need to thrive. I can accommodate dogs with special needs (I grew up with a dog with only three working legs) and I have experience administering drugs to pets and farm animals. I look forward to hearing from you! I work from home part time and out of the house (6-8 hours) part time. My schedule varies week to week so depending on the days you book I may be home most of the time. At minimum I’ll give your pup a long walk in the morning and evening and an extra potty and play break mid day or after the evening walk. I have a large fenced in yard that dogs love! I will give lots of pets/scratches, take breaks during my day to play with your pup, and make sure your dog has a comfortable place to rest during the day. I also take great care to ensure no food or trash is accessible because I understand dogs may like to explore and test boundaries when they are curious in a new place.
