About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was a child. I know how special and precious they are to their owners. Every dog I look after is treated as if they were my own! I currently work Monday through Thursday each week. I can still board dogs that are house trained and can wait 8 hours for a potty break on those days. Weekends are all freed up for nothing but fun and playtime. I have a fenced in yard with a small koi pond. The pups love watching the fish and chasing the frogs. The yard is wide open with lots of room to run and play. My house is very dog friendly, clean, and safe. I do have a 3 year old boxer female who is spayed. She is extremely dog friendly and sweet. I provide all dog bowls, treats, and lots of toys to play with.
“Mary Jane is the best! My 6 year old dog couldn’t be happier going to her wonderful home. I love the consistent updates Mary Jane provides that usually includes photos. I would highly recommend booking with her.”
“Destinee is amazing. Our high energy dog has stayed with her twice and she's been so great with him! We feel completely comfortable with her and never have to worry about our dog when we are gone.”
“Super understanding when our elderly boy was just too anxious to be away from us for a night. Debbie’s home is spacious, with lots of yard space for exercise. Their sweet and lovable pup Chesney was ready to greet and befriend both of us upon arrival. With her experience and sensitivity, your pet will be safe and well-cared for in Debbie’s capable hands.”
“Very pleased with the communication and pictures and love that they gave Henry while they had him definitely makes it nice being able to travel without the worry if the dog is OK or not highly recommend we will definitely keep using them !”
“Victoria took amazing care of our dog, Mackey! She sent me lots of updates and photos which I loved. He came home happy and healthy. He is only 1.5, so very much still a puppy, so I am thankful for her patience with him. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I have been taking care of all sorts of animal companions for 20 years! I worked on a Farmed Animal sanctuary and took care of chickens, goats, turkeys, cows, and pigs. I have had cats and dogs my whole life and specialize in both senior care and puppies. I’m great at training pups and love to be active. If your dog needs a good hike, I’m your guy! I’m currently working the early morning shift and have plenty of time after work to care for your babies. I also have weekends off so go on that day trip you always wanted to and leave it to me. My dogs are my children. I take them hiking, swimming, walking, and/or to the dog park at least once a day. I’m just starting out as a personal trainer so if your dog needs a jog around the block I can do that.
“Kelli watched our two dogs over Christmas for us. It was our puppies first time being away from us and Kelli went above and beyond to help her feel comfortable. She was timely in keeping us updated every day with texts and pictures and easing our minds that our dogs where dong great! Highly recommended!”
“Tawny was super awesome. I felt 100% about leaving Nisa with her. I always got a sweet picture and update at the end of the day and knew Nisa was happy at Tawny’s doggie paradise.”
“We had the BEST experience with Celsei!!! This was our first time using rover because our boarding place couldn’t take our dog, Ronan, for the weekend. We received several much needed updates throughout his stay which helped these nervous parents remain comfortable! Not to mention, it was sort of last minute that we reached out, and Celsei had absolutely no problem taking him! We couldn’t be more thankful for her! ♥️”
“Melissa, David, and Milo were great! Our dog Tucker was well taken care of while we were out of town. They sent pictures every day and Tucker has a new best bud, Milo!”
“Such a positive experience! I received regular photos and updates about my pup while Ernie was caring for her. She was treated like one of the family. I would definitely recommend Ernie, and will happily leave my puppy with him again in the future.”
“Sarah was excellent! Great communication throughout Gambit’s stay, he settled in nicely and I had no worries while we were out of town. Will definitely book her whenever we need a sitter!”
“Derek showed particular interest in wanting to make sure I thought his home had enough space for my dog and that the arrangement would work for him (it did, and it did). My dog did well with him throughout the weekend, and he was amenable to my somewhat flexible timeline for pickup. I would leave my dog with him again.”
“Tameka took our dogs in last minute for boarding and we could not have asked for a better experience. She made sure they were accomodated, took them for plenty of walks, and sent pictures and updates often. We so appreciate Tameka and her service!”
“Becky was SO GREAT. I was nervous to leave my girl as she hadn’t been around other dogs for a few years. Becky Is very knowledgeable about behavior and socializing. You can’t go wrong with leaving your pet with her! Tons of photos and excellent communication! ❤️”
“Mary was great. She was so great with my girl, sent me tons of pictures, was so flexible when I accidentally scheduled the wrong date, and genuinely made me feel comfortable leaving her for the first time while I was gone. My girl loved the yard, and I know she had a great time. Will definitely recommend to anyone who needs someone to watch their babies :)”

Nora R.
“Nora has been a wonderful pet sitter for my GSD mix, Hunny. Hunny stays at her place when I go out of town and I know she is loved and taken care of while there. She has a fenced in yard which is a huge plus and Hunny loves to play with her sweet boxer, Scarlett while there. She always sends pics while I’m away and has great communication which always gives me such peace of mind that my baby is being taken care of! Her pricing is reasonable. Highly recommend!”
