This was my puppy’s second stay with Nontombe. Nontombe is so patient with my 6 month year old puppy, keeps me updated and is very communicative! I know that Tully is safe and in good hands when she is with Nontombe and that makes me feel very good as a first time dog owner. I highly recommend Nontombe!!

Eileen was fantastic! As soon as we met Eileen, we knew our baby would be in good hands while we were away! She really put our minds at ease and sent us pics or a video each day while we were away. Scout was clearly having a good time while we were away and was well taken care of by Eileen!

Veronica is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! My dog was so comfortable with her and I could enjoy my time away knowing she was well taken care of. I received regular updates and pictures and Veronica immediately let me know when she suspected my dog had a UTI. She even made little treats for the dogs for Thanksgiving (she did ask permission to give them first). ❤️ Will absolutely be booking with her again.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Our dog is blind and has complex medical issues - Kelly put us at ease leaving him. It's so clear how much Kelly (and Hank) care for their house guests. Oliver came home tired and happy! Thank you again and I'm know Ollie can't wait to visit again soon!

Jessica was just amazing! My dog loved her and her fur babies!! She was exactly the perfect fit for my older sometimes grumpy girl. Jessica was easy to communicate with in the app. and very responsive. Overall, the best experience and I felt she far exceeded my expectations as this was my first Rover pet experience. Highly recommend her!!

Caroline is THE best dog sitter I’ve ever had. I’ve had some bad luck with sitters in Columbia so let me recommend Caroline and BarkLaLa! My dog hates being away from me and can be hard to handle. Caroline embraced that and Maggie immediately fell in love with her. She let Maggie be her authentic, sassy, silly self rather than intimidating her. Her house is beautiful, clean, and safe. She knows so much about dogs. Her and her husband treated Maggie like family and I couldn’t ask for more! Caroline communicates and sends lots of pictures which was amazing for a nervous dog mom like me!!

I'm always happy to send Rosie girl with Wendy. Rosie loves her, and Wendy takes such good care of her. I enjoy getting pictures during her stay - Wendy is very good about that! And it's always fun to hear about their neighborhood walking adventures!

Maggie was AWESOME. This was my first time leaving my furbabies with someone else and I would recommend her 100x’s. She sent pictures and kept me up to date, which I LOVED. My dogs loved her and her dog as well, which made it easier to not worry. I will definitely be going back to her if needed.

About: My passion for animals goes back to when I was just a young child!!! It’s a trait I inherited from my mother ❤️ I’m available for dog boarding, doggy day care, drop-in’s, dog bathing, etc. I would love to care for your baby and if there is anything specific or special request please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I am generally very timely in responding. I currently stay at home with our two young children so my only *REQUIREMENT* is that your dog is kid friendly! I hope you can understand. We are home 99% of the time. We have a large fenced in front yard and live on family land so we have lots of space to roam. If your dog loves to throw a ball we have plenty of space for them to run. If they need to be leashed or you prefer they stay inside the fence that is not a problem either. We have 2 medium/large dogs and a free roaming cat named Tuna.

This is our second time staying with Jud and Nicole, and they are absolutely AMAZING! They are such patient, friendly, dog-loving people, and your dog will no doubt have a vacation of their own! My dog is very hyper, and they handle her so well, and always send lots of pictures and updates. Stay with them if you can!!!!

This was our first time using Rover.com and I’m so pleased with our decision! Chelsea was great during the decision process and also keeping our dog Polo. She made us feel comfortable when we were deciding on a boarder. When we got to her house, Polo fit right in with Chelsea, her kids, and the other dogs. What I loved most is that Chelsea sent us pictures and videos of polo daily, along with a text to let us know how he was doing. She even left us a thank you card and gift bag! I’ll definitely book Chelsea again!!

They were awesome! Very welcoming in their home and Dixie immediately settled in and got along well with their children and their pup. When I picked Dixie up she seemed very happy so I know she’d been taken care of. I will definitely be reaching out again!

Sometimes there should be an option for more than 5 stars, and this is definitely one of them. Michael and his wife may just be the kindest couple I have ever met. They were incredibly kind, accommodating, and communicative. They live in a lovely and comfortable area and have such a beautiful home. My baby Simba completely loved his stay and was such a happy boy when I came to pick him up. I usually have a very difficult time with leaving my baby behind with anyone but I didn’t feel nearly as worried after drop off with Michael. I will absolutely be contacting him in the future any time I need a sitter, I couldn’t imagine Simba staying anywhere else.

Sally was simply AH-MAZING!! Our furbabies were in love with her. She spoiled them to pieces so much so that I think they wanted to go back ?. Her home was so peaceful. Sally sent plenty of pictures to keep us abreast of how they were doing throughout the day which gave us the peace to enjoy our trip. We HIGHLY recommend her to watch her furbabies. THANK YOU a million times Sally!??
