Kyra was an amazing dog sitter for Leroy. I'm so grateful for the thought and care she provided him while I was away. She sent daily pics and updates so I could stay in touch with how Leroy was doing during the stay. Thanks again!

Briana is a rock star! Due to some unexpected health issues, our dog needed to take meds three times a day. Briana was so gracious and helpful, and was wonderful to give him his medicine when he needed it. She gave us lots of updates on how he was doing, and the picture updates she sent were so appreciated! We will definitely board with Briana again!

Tashia took great care of our 14yr old dog while we were away. She needs a bit more attention and has a routine for eating, pills and going outside. We set up a meet and greet and Tashia took extreme care in meeting and getting to know our dog’s habits. Tashia sent pictures and updates while we were away to ease our concerns. Highly recommend Tashia.

AMAZING experience! It couldn't have been any better. Sarah was accommodating with both the pickup and drop off dates and times, as I had to make some changes. I asked if I could pick Max up a day early (on Christmas), and she made it happen and even offered to refund 1 of the days of our original booking without me even asking. She was so good with the communication, flexibility, pictures, etc. that I told her to keep it. She was worth every bit of what we paid for Max to stay with her. She will be our go-to from this point forward!

We absolutely loved having our Weimaraner, Hollis stay with Jacquelyn and her family! We felt so comfortable leaving her and Hollis enjoyed her time with them as well! There was never a doubt that she was safe and in excellent hands with them. We will definitely be rebooking with Jacquelyn every time we need to leave our Hollis.

Cathy put me at ease dropping off my two Bostons. She is full of knowledge and asks questions to make sure the boys were able to transition with ease. She gave me updates and many pictures to let me know the boys were relaxed and doing well. She definitely will be used in the future ❤️

Jenevieve was a great sitter for our dogs. Leaving your little ones is very hard, but Jenevieve made everything so easy. I'll absolutely ask her again for our next trips and I highly recommend her great service. Thank you so much for watching Mila and Bruno.

Kayla provided lots of pictures/updates while our dog, Gator, stayed the night at her house, which was really appreciated! Her communication was great, and she was so understanding and helpful. She took great care of Gator and we would definitely rebook with her in the future!

Kristy did an amazing job watching my two dogs. She kept in touch frequently with updates on how they were doing and sent pictures showing how much fun the dogs were having. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my dogs when I was out of town. I highly recommend her and will book her every time I travel.

About: My husband and I are both entrepreneurs who work out of our home with very flexible schedules and are home all day with our dog, Hollis (Weimaraner, 1) and Share (Bugg, 14). We live on private, very secluded land and spend a lot of time outside with our Weimaraner! We have both grown up with dogs and are dog lovers! We've been around multiple breeds from Doberman's to Border Collies to Pugs. We used Rover ourselves and loved it and wanted to be able to offer the same to others in our area who are looking for a home away from home for their dogs so they can be at peace knowing their animal is well cared for and loved while enjoying a vacation, work trip or other life event. We are home everyday! My husband and I both work from home and have flexible schedules. We exercise our dogs 2-3 times per day and would do the same with yours as needed. Your pet will be cared for in our home with us! We will use a crate at night or if we have to leave for any reason. This is the same way we work with our own pets in our home. They sleep in their crate and go in when we leave the house.

We love taking our dog to Jessica for dog sitting. Our dog loves playing with her dog. She sends me videos of the dogs playing, which eases the anxiety of being away from her.
