Dog Boarding in Saint James

“John did a great job with our big NewfyPoo. He really made him feel at home and comfortable from the minute we dropped him off. He provided updates and let us know how our boy was doing. I have no reservations about recommending John and I will definitely be using him in the future!”

“Donna was amazing! She was very knowledgeable, polite, and understanding. She made every effort to make sure that I not only felt comfortable but that baby Quinten was comfortable too. She truly cares for EVERY pup as they are her own, which left Quinten felling the love even while his mommy was on vacation. Donna also sent pictures and updates while I was away to help calm my “mommy nerves” which made the process easier. This was my first time not only using Rover but having a sitter and I thank God that Donna was the one that I selected! She was a blessing and Quinten and I are both grateful for her!”

“Second time we used Melissa and Matt. We enjoyed getting daily pics of our babies 😀we kissed them and it was good to know they were with a loving and caring couple. We will continue to use them 😃 Thank You!”

“Stephanie and Gene have got to be the best dog sitters on this site! Dog sitters is not even the proper term for them! Dog foster parents maybe?! ??They cared for our Lucy like she was their own! Both gave us such peace of mind from the moment we met them at our meet and greet to when we picked her up a few days later! Stephanie and Eugene were so communicative throughout her stay and Were the sweetest couple. They have found repeat clients in us! Thank you!”

“I felt so comfortable leaving Salty with Gabby! She has a lot of experience with dogs, her own as well as the other dogs she watches, and Salty was comfortable at Gabby's house as soon as he walked in! It was Salty's first time staying away from home, but Gabby made it such an easy transition! I highly recommend Gabby!”

“Michael was great with our 2 dogs who stayed with him for a long weekend. Our dogs are two years old and almost 11 years old so they have very different needs and energy levels, but Michael and his dog were great with both of them. we felt comfortable that they were well taken care of and He sent daily pictures and updates. Will work with Michael again anytime”

“Maggie had a great experience with Maria. I knew she was well taken care of and came home well rested and happy. Great and fast communication. Shares photos during the visit for peace of mind. Will use again!”

“Vanessa was wonderful. Sent me lots of pictures and took great care of my Ducky girl. We've already set up another puppy sitting weekend with her next month.”

“We cannot speak highly enough of Lauren and the care she gave to Monty throughout his stay with her!! We had to find a dogsitter last minute, and we are so happy Lauren was available! We got updates and photos every day, and it made for a more restful/stress-free trip. Would definitely recommend her to anyone who lives in the area, and would definitely have Monty stay with her again!”

“Talk about taking pride in what they do! Chuck and Laura are an extremely kind, thoughtful and thorough! They truly love doing this and it shows. They will take extremely good care of your fur baby! Our Ozzy had a blast! Thank you so much for taking such special care of our boy! Booking again next month❤️?”

“Alev was incredible! Lovely home and family! She sincerely cared about my pup while he stayed with her for a few nights. Gave him plenty of walks and spent the entire time he was there with him! Loved getting photos and videos through out his stay. Don't think twice, this is the person you can trust with your fur baby. Will absolutely be using her services again.”

“This was our first time using the Rover app. Me and my family were going away on vacation and needed someone to watch and care for our big boy Ben. We had a meet and greet with Gina and her husband the following day after our request and instantly felt relieve and at ease. They’re super friendly and welcoming people. It’s not easy leaving your fur babies with strangers but we knew we made the right choice. Pick up and drop off was also provided and went pretty smooth. Throughout the week we received many updates, pictures and videos on our Lab. Based on the photos we knew he was happy and being cared for the way we would. We couldn’t have been any happier with Gina and Danny. We are looking forward to using her services in the near future. Thank you so much Gina for caring for Ben. You are amazing !”

“Marybeth & Dwight kept us up to date with what was going on with our pooch Coffee throughout our trip with texts and pictures. They also offered Facetime in case we wanted to see how he was doing. We picked him up happy and tired from all the play time.”

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my comprehensive approach to pet care, emphasizing not just the physical but also the emotional well-being of the animals under my care. With a background in animal behavior, I specialize in training puppies, using positive reinforcement techniques to establish good habits early on. For senior dogs, I provide gentle care tailored to their unique needs, ensuring they remain comfortable and engaged despite any age-related challenges. Additionally, I am skilled in administering medication and first aid, for I am an EMT. This makes me well-prepared to handle a wide range of health needs. My commitment to regular, open communication with pet owners means you'll always stay updated on your pet's adventures and well-being. Whether it's a high-energy puppy or a senior dog, I strive to create a nurturing environment that feels like a second home to every pet. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, reflecting my genuine passion for animals and their well-being. Each morning starts with a dedicated time for outdoor walks or playtime, ensuring my dog under my care get the exercise and stimulation they need to start their day happily. Throughout the day, I balance my own work and responsibilities with regular check-ins, play sessions, and cuddle times, maintaining a comforting presence for my pet. Weekly, I allocate specific days for longer adventures or visits to dog parks, where my dog can socialize and enjoy a change of scenery, enhancing their physical and mental health. For my dog with specific training routines or medical needs, I schedule consistent times for these activities to ensure they receive consistent care and attention. Caring for pets, whether in my home or a client's, revolves around ensuring safety, comfort, and a lot of love. Here's how I approach both scenarios: In My Home I ensure my home is pet-proofed, with no small objects they can choke on, secure trash cans, and safe, comfortable resting areas.I maintain a consistent schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime, aligning as closely as possible with their usual routine to minimize stress. Each pet receives individual attention, from belly rubs to personalized play sessions, ensuring they feel at home. If compatible, I carefully introduce pets to my resident animals or other pets under my care, supervising interactions to foster positive social experiences. Regular grooming sessions are part of the care, along with prompt clean-up of any accidents to maintain a hygienic environment. In the Client's Home Keeping pets in their familiar environment reduces stress. I follow their usual routine for meals, walks, and bedtime.I ensure the home is secure at each visit, checking locks and monitoring any potential hazards. I engage pets with their favorite toys and activities, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Regular updates, including photos and messages, keep pet owners informed and reassured about their pet's well-being. For pets with specific dietary or medical requirements, I meticulously follow provided instructions to administer medications or prepare meals.
