Madison and her family were great with Thor. Will gladly book again in the future. She was worried about his non eating- as he does when I'm not around. I received great photo updates on him. She seemed to understand Thor and his personality. Thank you again:-)

Thank you SO much for taking amazing care of Remi & River. They are always so happy, relaxed and don’t want to leave when we pick them up, which is a huge relief for us to know they are being taken care of. Very accommodating and a real life saver when certain situations arise last minute! Thank you!!!!!

Nansy was absolutely great with Hank. Our golden retriever was a less than desirable guest to say the least and Nansy handled the situation so well and even went above and beyond while we had our 2nd baby. Highly recommend Nansy to watch your pet, you won’t be disappointed!

Kendra did an excellent job! Communicated well and loved Lucky like he was her own. Also was very flexible when I got sick in Egypt. Will be using her again.

Madison is very generous, caring, and understanding. Norman came home freshly bathed and tuckered out. He slept the entire 2.5 hour car ride back home!

About: I've always loved dogs and loved caring for them. I work from home now and love to spend my free time with your pups! I have my own mini dachshund puppy named Fern, who loves everyone and every dog she meets! I'd love to care for your animal while you are away. I am a wedding and portrait photographer, so during the week I am mostly at home working. I am typically free Monday-Friday to watch your pups or let them out! I also love taking them for walks. I have my own mini dachshund puppy named Fern, so your dog will be taken outside as many times as I take my own (which is a lot!) They can enjoy playing together and I also love taking them for walks to tire them out!

Susan was absolutely amazing from start to finish! I never used Rovee before so I was really cautious and overall pretty scared but Susan assured me she'd take great care of Char while I was traveling. I received pictures and videos daily of char as well as text updates. In the videos alone I could tell my dog was not only happy but he felt safe and loved. I would highly recommend Susan!

About: I've had dogs for most of my life. I've adopted from rescues and love making my pets feel safe and loved. My current dog is a senior male who's very sweet. He gets lonesome so it would be nice to have dog friends visit. I'm patient and kind. We love to go on walks and relax iny gated yard. I work full-time but I'm very close to work and come home every day during lunch to let my dog have some yard time. We go for a walk at night to get outdoors. I have a senior dog and a nice fenced backyard for them to roam around. My dog is allowed on furniture and sleeps with me.

About: Have you ever wished you had someone who could take care of your pets like you do? Here I am!! My dogs are my babies! I have 2 Male Labradors named Tank and Nash! I have always struggled with finding someone I TRUST watching my pets, I want them to be treated how I treat them! With treats, toys and walks! I will be offering walks, potty breaks, treats (unless you have a pet with food restrictions please bring your own) if they are water babies I will take them swimming! I have a fully fenced in yard! Required: Please also provide documentation of vaccinations, and flea/tick/heart worm Required: Please make sure your dogs are friendly with other dogs before booking! **If looking to book where I need to stay at your home please take it into consideration me coming early in the morning or after work timeframe** I work from home Monday-Friday and weekends I am available. Please just make sure your pets are friendly. My dogs are not neutered. Thank you! My pets are supervised at ALL times since I work from home. We do have a fenced in area where the dogs can play outside. Dogs are allowed on the couch or dog bed. If you bring your own dog bed please make sure it is clean! If I am watching at someone’s home, I will make sure messes are cleaned along with treats given if told so. Along with walks, we like to take our dogs to Coyners dog park and let them play. If your dog is not friendly this is not the fit for you.

About: If you’re looking for a calm, safe place where your dog can relax, play, and get plenty of exercise, you’re in the right spot. I provide dog boarding in a quiet country setting with lots of open space for dogs to run and burn energy. Many dogs feel overwhelmed in busy boarding facilities, so my goal is to give them a low-stress environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for. Your dog will get: • Plenty of outdoor time and exercise • Constant supervision and attention • A safe, peaceful environment away from crowded kennels I’ve been around dogs for years and understand that every dog has a different personality and comfort level. I take the time to make sure they feel secure, get the activity they need, and settle in like they’re at home. Whether your dog loves to run, explore, or just relax, they’ll have the space and attention they need while you’re away. I also provide updates and photos so you can see how your dog is doing during their stay. Caring for dogs fits very naturally into my daily routine. Because I’m located in a quiet rural area, dogs staying with me have plenty of space to get exercise and enjoy the outdoors throughout the day. My day typically includes multiple outdoor breaks, playtime, and regular check-ins to make sure every dog is comfortable and getting the attention they need. I keep a consistent routine with feeding, activity, and rest, which helps dogs settle in quickly and feel at home. Since I’m around throughout the day, dogs are closely supervised and never left alone for long periods. I also make sure to send updates and photos so owners can see how their dog is doing while they’re away. Providing a calm, structured environment with lots of outdoor time is a normal part of my day, and I enjoy making sure every dog has a safe, comfortable, and fun stay. When dogs stay with me, I focus on giving them a safe, calm environment with plenty of attention and exercise. I live in a quiet rural area, which allows dogs to enjoy lots of outdoor time and space to run, explore, and burn energy throughout the day. I keep a consistent routine that includes regular outdoor breaks, playtime, feeding on their normal schedule, and time to rest so they stay comfortable and relaxed. Every dog is supervised closely to make sure they are safe and adjusting well during their stay. I understand that every dog has a different personality and energy level, so I adjust care to match their needs—whether that means more playtime, relaxed downtime, or extra attention. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owner is away. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pet is being well cared for.
