“Mariah was able to help me out last minute with walking my puppy Maya for me when I was in a bind & I’m so glad she could & that we got to meet her because she has a great energy & now we have someone close to home to call on! You can definitely tell that Mariah is very comfortable with animals upon meeting her & it was only further confirmed by the fact that If was completely evident afterwards too that my pup really had a ball with her on their walk together ! We look forward to having Mariah visit again soon! Thanks so much again Mariah!”

“I contacted Kyle to walk my dog everyday as I would be away for a month. The process of scheduling with him was great. He came to my house to meet my girl prior to the scheduled walks and they got along very well. Kyle took excellent care of my girl and I loved the pictures/comments he sent of her during their walks. He communicated well and was always readily available. My girl is very high energy and stubborn but Kyle was patient with her and she looked forward to their walks everyday! If I could give Kyle 10 stars, I would! I highly recommend him and will continue to use his services in the future! Thank you again, Kyle!”

If you are boarding your pet, you are welcome to bring your dog's bed, I have an extra large crate for safety concerns, so you can leave your crate at home, and please bring any other comfort items your pet enjoys. I always place a gate between my front door and living space. And your pet, unless I need to step out for groceries, or to drop a child at ballet, will always be under my watchful eye; otherwise crated, or gated, in a secure area. Safety is my #1 priority.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Abingdon
Cassie took wonderful care of Bodhi for the week! She was communicative, attentive, knowledgeable on dog behavior (especially how to handle a loose dog approaching them and an encounter with a goat). She took the time to meet with me before I left to ensure her and Bodhi felt comfortable with each other and she knew the routine. She was adaptable to an emergency change and handled it all in stride. I would most certainly recommend Cassie to anyone needing care for their pet.
