1. Heather J.
“Heather gives excellent care to our Jude by spoiling him with extra little things.:) I'm not sure Jude even wanted to come home with us after his stay...lol!! I have used Heather about 2-3 times and will continue to do so.”
2. Darcie M.
“Darcie was wonderful with our dog, Remi! She sent us lots of photos with updates throughout his stay and we felt completely at peace knowing that she was taking care of him while we were out of town.”
3. Mark M.
“Not going to lie, we were nervous leaving our pup with a stranger, but we felt at ease right away. Mark has such a calm demeanor and knows what he is doing. There is another pup he cares for and they play well together, which is great for socializing. If I check in, he responds very quickly and sends us a picture or two. He knows about nervous parents.☺️”
4. Emily O.
“The day before our trip our dog became injured and had to have surgery. Emily became our guardian angel. She was even willing to pick him up from the vet, give him medications, check his bandages, and give him all the love I couldn't provide at the time. Even though my mom heart ached to be away during this time, Emily made it much easier knowing Bailey was safe and cared for. I've never seen such kindness and care for a strangers dog! If I could rate more stars I would.”
5. Aleece S.
“This was our schnauzer's first stay with Aleece; he stayed for a week, and she was wonderful! She provided many updates with photos and clearly kept him active-he's wiped out! She treated him like he was in his own home, letting him on her furniture and sleeping in her bed. We would not hesitate to book with Aleece again in the future!”
6. Jill M.
“Jill was a great sitter for our standard poodle, Fillmore. He took to her very quickly and Jill was very responsive and caring. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
7. Donna T.
“Donna and Brian were great with our boy for the weekend. Played and exercised him and gave plenty of loving. Knowing he had all the comforts of home made it much easier for us to enjoy ourselves.”
8. Carol S.
“Our pup just really took to Carol and had a great 2 days with her. She sent us pictures of him and let us know how he was doing through out his stay. We will definitely be using Carol again!”
9. Emily F.
“I can't say enough good things about Emily. I can leave town for a few days or just a few hours and I 100% can trust and feel relieved that I have someone that I trust to take care of my dog Momoa. Every time she continues to wow me and my dog enjoys his time with her as well. Highly recommend.”
10. Diane M.

11. Genna M.
“We had Gunnar stay with Genna and her family for the first time this week and we were very happy with him staying there and will definitely be using her in the future. We loved all the updates we received when he was there and he loved playing with their dog, Maddox. It's so nice to have no worries about your dogs when you are traveling or can't be home.”

16. Chelsi B.
About: I grew up on a farm. I was part of FFA (future farmers of America) and 4H growing up. I’ve cared for animals and their well being all my life. I currently work on a two week rotation. Meaning I’ll be in town for two weeks at a time, and out of town for two weeks. I’ll have weekdays from 8am to 5pm and weekends after 4pm. I have majority of the day to relax and exercise your puppies. I have a fenced in backyard and plenty of room for your pups to enjoy outside or if they are lazy butts; got a couch for them to relax on. I can also take your dogs on walks and or runs if that’s required for them.

“This was our first time using Rover and we had such a positive experience with April and her family! She sent us an update every day and Maverick looked so happy playing with the kids and their dog Ruby. Will definitely be using her in the future. Thank you April!”
20. Nate M.
