About: I've owned two dogs and a cat for the past 17 years. Unfortunately we're a pet free family at the moment so we're eager to fill the void while we take our time to find the right dog to add to our family. We do have a small child who will be at home some days and all nights/weekends, but she loves animals and plays very gently. Making sure you feel comfortable while you're away is something I strive for. I can guarantee a picture and status update at least daily so you can rest assured that your pet is in good hands and is living it up! Last thing to note is that I am active and plan on being active with your pet. If your dog likes/needs walks, I'll make sure they get out and about and have plenty of opportunity to burn off some energy. I work from home and have limited engagements during the day, so the majority of the time I'll be here hanging out with your pet. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room to run and play. I've got a young daughter who may also be around during the day, and will be around in the evenings and on the weekends. We live in a nice walkable neighborhood and I like to get out and walk, so I'll make sure your pet(s) have plenty of exercise and attention.

Timothy L.
“I recently had the pleasure of leaving my Cockapoo, Charlie Bravo, in Tim’s care—and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the start, Tim was warm, professional, and clearly passionate about dogs. Charlie took to him right away, which immediately put me at ease. Tim kept me updated with sweet photos and messages throughout the stay, which made it so much easier to be away. It was clear that Charlie wasn’t just being watched—he was being genuinely cared for and loved. When I picked Charlie up, he was happy, relaxed, and had clearly had a great time. Tim truly went above and beyond, and I felt completely confident knowing Charlie was in such good hands. I highly recommend Tim to anyone looking for a responsible, kind, and attentive dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!”

We had a wonderful experience! They’re incredibly kind, caring, and flexible — which made the whole process so easy and stress-free. We felt completely at ease leaving Jax, in their care. He was so happy to be with them, and we could tell he felt right at home! We also really appreciated the updates and knowing he was getting lots of love and attention. It means so much to have neighbors we can trust with our dog. We’ll definitely be reaching out again in the future!

Wish I could give more stars! Eric responded super quickly and was available for last minute boarding. Both my lab and mini dachshund loved spending time at his place and playing in the huge yard! I got pictures and updates daily. He was super helpful and was able to extend my trip and keep my pups longer when something came up! Will definitely be using him again

Eileen was so patient and kind. My little guy had just experienced a stressful trip and found himself in Eileen’s care because Mom was going away again but this time without him. He was not his typical self and he was anxious. Eileen handled him so well and I am grateful for her excellent care.

Liz took the best care of Milo! She was very communicative, took him on many walks and park trips. He came back feeling calm, and very relaxed meaning it wasn’t an anxious experience for him! Thank you Liz for giving Milo all the love and care. I will absolutely book again!

We are beyond happy we found Patti because Nikita was treated with all the love and care! Patti always communicated with us and sent us updates throughout the day with lots of photos. She followed Nikita’s regular routine and was very kind to get Nikita’s favorite goat milk for the morning. We could tell Nikita was very happy and comfortable staying with Patti and she got along so well with sweet Rosie! They are now best buds. We really appreciate Patti, and we look forward to Nikita’s future stays.

Virginia was a WONDERFUL sitter—if I could give more than 5 stars I would! ⭐️ This was my first time using Rover, but won’t be my last! I expressed my anxieties of being away from Bij on a work trip, and she eased them all. I got regular and often updates—she truly treated and loved Bij as if he were her own. And her fur baby is just as precious—Cozy and Bijou became best friends! From letting him sleep in a bigger bed, to sharing all Cozy’s toys, to regular walks and playing all the fetch he could handle—Bijou was on a vacation! Virginia is kind and communicative, and I will happily be booking with her again! ❤️

Chante was wonderful with our dog, Summer! She did a meet and greet with us beforehand, which made us feel completely comfortable. During Summer’s stay, Chante sent us daily pictures and updates. Summer was well cared for and happy doggo. She had a great time with Chante and her dog. We’ll definitely be rebooking. Highly recommend!
