2. Darieli S.

“Perfect, as usual! Claire and family are our “go to” sitters…our pups love them just like family! Thank you as always for all your help and care!”
5. Ashley F.
“Ashley and family were awesome with our dog Ollie! He came back home happy and healthy. We especially appreciated all the photos and updates while we were away. It really made us feel better about leaving him knowing that he was in good hands and getting lots of attention. We hope to book with Ashley again the next time we go out of town!”
6. Tim & Katarzyna L.
“I can’t express how thrilled I am with the care my two huskies, Jade and Raiden, received during their 5-day, 4-night stay! From the moment we arrived, I could see they were in good hands. The team was incredibly attentive and truly passionate about dogs. Jade and Raiden were not only excited to be there, but also seemed to be exhausted (in the best way!) by the end of each day from all the fun activities and attention they received. I appreciated receiving the videos of them playing and enjoying their outings. The property is absolutely stunning — lots of open land for the dogs to roam and explore, which they absolutely loved. It was such a relief knowing they were having an amazing time while I was away. The communication was fantastic throughout, and I got regular updates and pictures of their adventures. Overall, the love and care Jade and Raiden received made all the difference. I can’t recommend this place enough if you’re looking for a safe, fun, and loving environment for your pups!”
7. David D.
“We are very fortunate to have found Dave to take care of our dog, Monty during our 2-week trip abroad. His daily photo updates and email comments helped reassure us that Monty was in great hands. Monty came home rested, well cared for and had some social time with other dogs. We plan to reach out to Dave in the future and give him our recommendation.”
8. Carey K.
“Carey took amazing care of our dog Marlon! She took him on a long walk which he loved and gave us great updates with photos. We would happily have Carey watch Marlon again.”
9. Karen C.
“It was so nice having Karen and her family care for my mini golden doodle Lola. She sent pictures daily and took her on walks. I was t sure she would want to go home. It made our vacation so much more relaxing not having to worry about Lola. We will use Karen every time we leave town.”
10. Hope W.
“I had multiple people take care of my dog Luna (aussie) and by far Hope and her husband have been the best. I will definitely recommend and have them take care of her in the future.”
11. Debbie K.
“I can’t say enough about how great Debbie is. We left two dogs with her. They have such a comfortable home for dogs with ample beds, they have a very secure fenced in backyard, but most of all”
12. James D.
About: I have been the primary care giver of our two dogs for years and I grew up with multiple dogs. I have experience with many breeds and ages, and have been the primary carer for our current dogs since they were young puppies. I currently work part time and my fiance works from home, so someone is home 98% of the time. The only time neither of us are not home is if we go grab dinner, groceries, or run a quick errand. I am able to provide daily exercise and full care each and every day, just like you do for your beloved pet at home. I have a nice, big fenced backyard, and a fenced in front porch. My current dogs go out about every 2-3 hours during the day, but I can adhere to your dogs schedule if different. I often spend lots of time outside with my dogs, playing, and hanging out enjoying the day.
13. Rebecca R.
“I am a repeat doggy daycare and dog boarding member of Rebecca and I never have any issues. My dog Reece loves going over there and loves to jump up and give Rebecca hello kisses. Highly recommend.”
14. Marlene C.
“Thank you Marlene! You cared for our sweet Cooper like he was your own! Even with his extra needs, diabetic and blind! He had so much fun with you. And, thank you for the continued daily updates while we were away! Your home is warm and welcoming.”
15. Amanda W.
“Amanda was the absolute best. My dog is finicky, and she thought that he was just great. She sent pics and updates. I cannot recommend her enough.”
16. Sheila & Jeffrey B.
“Sheila and Jeff were great with our pup! They asked lots of great questions before our dog's stay to ensure she would be comfortable. They took awesome care of our dog, and sent lots of photos. They have a very nice and secure fenced in yard, and their two dogs are very sweet and playful. We will definitely use them for future stays!”
17. Kathy T.
“Kathy took wonderful care of Chloe again! It's so nice to go away knowing she's is in great hands. Kathy sends great pictures and updates, too!”
18. Joe R.
“Our dog Danny had an amazing time with Joe! Joe sent multiple pictures each day and was very thorough and was super accommodating with a few last minute requests we had. It was easily one of the best Rover experiences we've had and we will definitely book again. I highly recommend Joe for any pet boarding needs!!”
19. Jillian K.
“Jillian is an awesome dog sitter! She took great care of our Louie while we were out of town for a few days. She sent us regular photo updates and let us know how he was doing each day. I can tell that she truly has a heart for pets and felt 100% confident leaving Louie with her. I will definitely contact Jillian next time we need a caregiver for Louie. She’s great!”
20. Sarah J.
“Tucker had a great stay with Sarah and her family while we vacationed for a week this year. This was his first time away from home and Sarah put us all at ease with her updates and pictures. We really appreciated her being there for us and taking such good care of our puppy. We will definitely book with her for our next need!”
