2. Dennis & Lynn H.
“Roxie has loved doggy daycare with Dennis and Lynn! They do a great job providing updates throughout the day and are very responsive to any questions we have. 10/10 would recommend!”
3. Jenny N.
“My little pup absolutely loves Jenny! He has pretty bad separation anxiety so he stays with Jenny during the work week often and he loves it. It's a relief to know that he's in good hands, and I get many picture updates throughout the day so I can always see how he's doing. Now when I go to drop him off he doesn't even look back! Cooper and I are super happy with Jenny and I will continue to use her in the future.”
4. Gino T.
“Gino has been great with my one year-old husky, Pearl. She can be a handful, but he’s dedicated to working with her and it’s been wonderful. Pearl gets to see Gino every Wednesday and she loves going over there for daycare.”
5. Crystal P.
“My puppy absolutely loves going to Crystals home. He gets to play with other pups, goes on walks, and gets a lot of love from Crystal. The best part of picking up my puppy is that he is tired and ready to nap. I highly recommend Crystal! If I could give her a higher rating I would!”
6. Yixin Y.
“Wonderful dog sitter, My dog was smiling each day I picked him up and fell asleep belly up so I know he was super happy with his day. Will be reaching back out soon definitely!”

About: I have a nine-year-old cat that I have had since he was a kitten. Previously, I have also had a French bulldog that needed special care so I have experience caring for more needy animals as well. I work full-time from home. My job gives me the flexibility to step away and go for a walk along the waterfront or in your neighborhood. I am home a majority of the day and week so your pet is in good hands. I am very passionate about animals, and I believe that we need them more than they need us. I live directly on the waterfront with a huge beach and shared yard for your dog to play in. I love going for walks and I am very active. In between meetings, I love to cuddle up with your fur baby and give them lots of love.

About: I worked in the vet field from 18-23 years old and gained lots of skills and experience. I can give medications, injections, CPR. I'm great with pets that have anxiety, PTSD, and/or dementia. I'm experienced with senior care and pets with disabilities. I'm dependable, responsible and reliable. Your pets will be given full attention and care with me. Schedule for 2024: P/U and D/O for boarding schedule (I offer $10 pick up and drop off services): 11am-8pm; $45 per night. $60 per night for puppies. Drop in availability: 9:00am-8:30pm; $20 for first pet, $8 for additional pets. $50 basic grooming package; ear cleaning, teeth brushing, anal gland expression, nail trimming, paw pad fur trimmings, bathing and drying with a report card. Drop off 8am, pick up 3-5pm. (All that needs to be provided is their toothpaste and toothbrush, and anything else you would like me to give them during their appointment.) Any basic grooming needed individually is $10. I work from home part time through out the week, so a lot of attention will be given to the pets. I take my boarders with me when I go out for drop in appointments and just have them wait in the car, then give them a nice walk after the drop in. For boarding I give daily walks and I live next to many nice trails to give dogs good exercise and I have a nice little back yard for quick potties and I keep it very clean so there's no chances of exposure to other dog feces to prevent parasites or viruses. And they will be leashed the whole time. I have 2 cats (both with flea control) so if you would like me to board I prefer a dog friendly with cats especially if they're a large breed. But the cats have their own area if need be. They keep to themselves. And the dog will be separated in my room at night. It's a very safe space and they're allowed on the bed and the couch. And I keep it very clean here. I can take 2 small-medium dogs or 1 medium-large dog at a time. I will not book two non-neutered pets from different families. Also let me know if you would prefer your pet to be boarded with no other boarders, I have no problem doing that.

“Our puppy seemed very happy and calm when he came back from his day! I was very happy! It is good to see him growing up into a well-adjusted puppy.”
10. sarah f.
“Alvin and Simone had a wonderful day at Sarah’s. The entire family welcomed them into their home. Sarah sent pictures updating as to how they were doing and my pups had doggy smiles on their faces. I will definitely use Sarah again.”
11. Christina N.
“Christina did an amazing job looking after Milo for the day. Her pup Bear and Milo got on great and had a ball of a time. She kept us updated throughout the day with photos and presented us with a detailed breakdown of the days events. Will definitely trust Christina to look after Milo again soon!”
12. Keiara W.
“We had a fantastic first experience using Rover, thanks to Keiara! She made it a truly enjoyable experience for our dog and us.”
13. Brandon C.
“Murphy (Cavalier King Charles) had a good time with Brandon and his pups. His pups were much larger (as advertised) than Murphy. This was intimidating to us at first. Everyone calmed down eventually during our meet and greet. I felt comfortable leaving Murphy for the day. Brandon sent me photos and updates.”
14. Johnny P.
“Johnny is such an incredible find! When he's watched our dog, we know our pooch is in just the best hands--with someone who's genuinely delighted to be around him and who welcomes him in as part of the family. Every time he stays over at Johnny's place, we get the sweetest pictures of him enjoying his time with Scotti and Theo, Johnny's two dogs. He is attentive and active--they have a big back yard to play in and even get out and about in parks around them. I HIGHLY recommend Johnny as an excellent dogsitter!”
15. Alex & Amanda F.
“Kiba's first ever doggy daycare. It looks like he had fun playing with the big boys and girls. He almost didn't want to leave. Came home and just chilled.”
16. Sharon G.
“Very helpful with my first doggie daycare experience! Will book with Sharon again.”
17. Susan d.
“Susan has been watching my dog for years. She sends updates with pictures and I always know that he’s well cared for and loved when she takes care of him. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter or dog walker.”
18. Sourabh B.
“Sourabh has a genuine love for dogs and it is evident in the way he takes care of them. Being a pet parent himself, he has knowledge and understanding of the type of care required for a pet be it providing regular necessities or providing basic medical care as needed or warmth & companionship. He not just cares for them but also loves and pampers them immensely. For him they are not just pets, they are an extension of his family and he treats them so as well.”
