“Karen was able to accommodate my last minute request and took good care of Paw Paw and Pepper. Being a dog breeder, she knows the dogs habits instantly and is very caring. Highly recommend.”

“Skipper had a blast with Christine. She is very attentive and very calm. She responded quickly to my inquiry. She is perfect for a dog with anxiety issues. I appreciated her flexibility and her requirement to see vaccination records. Skipper loved having other dogs to play with and we loved getting photos during his stay. We will definitely call on her again for Skipper's staycation! ”

“Angela was great! She treated Nino like family and is very genuine about her love of dogs. She also sent a few pics during his stay which was very comforting and appreciated. We will definitely ask Angela to care for Nino again!!”

“I can't say enough great things about Ruth! She took excellent care of our 2 dogs while we went on vacation for a week. She provided them with snuggles, walks, and social time and provided us with peace of mind so we could relax. She sent us a few pictures and even some videos! I highly recommend Ruth and we look forward to seeing her again in the future!”

“She is a really good host. Right from the start itself their dog and our dog connected as they both are of same breed. She was really caring and gave us intermittent updates as well with photos and text of how our dog was doing. Her whole family got connected to our dog really well and provided a homely feeling for our dog. Will definitely recommend them and will like to rover with them again.”

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and more! I love all animals and will treat them with love and all the snuggles. I can administer inhalers for animals, and other medications. My dog and cat are very sweet and love having other animals visit. I look forward to meeting your pets! I currently work from home, and can care for your pets with the flexibility they require. I love going for walks and spending time outdoors. I have a large yard, and many rooms to keep your pets feeling safe and comfortable. My dog and cat are both friendly and enjoy when other animals come to visit.

“JoAnna and her whole family went out of their way to really welcome Loki into their home. A puppy learning to stay away from home for the first time and interact with new people and dogs is a big step. I really appreciate the consideration they gave Loki.”

“This weekend was my 1st time using Rover, and I loved the experience! Lisa was able to keep my pups on a very short notice. She was communicative, friendly, and even sent multiple updates per day (including pictures) letting me know how my pups were doing. I will definitely be booking with them again! 🩷🐾”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing companionship while owners are away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their routine, and I do my best to keep things familiar and stress-free. I’m reliable, attentive, and always treat every dog with care and patience. I maintain a very flexible routine and am home the majority of the day. I do volunteer a few hours daily, but I’m otherwise available to care for pets, provide attention, and keep them on their normal schedule. Dogs in my care will have a stable environment, regular potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every dog in my care. I make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and kept in a clean, secure space where they can relax and feel at home.

“Madison did such a great job with Cooper! His excitement, new environment jitters and eating too fast caused him to vomit the first couple of days. Madison handled it like a pro, she seeked guidance from the vet who confirmed what seemed to be happening. She adjusted his food intake to help him keep food down and made some other changes which fixed the problem! Goose, their dog, was a wonderful big brother to Cooper and they all gave him love like he was their own. Cooper was taken on lovely walks on trails and to the dog park and Goose also shared his antlers with Coop which is now his favorite thing to chew! We were very happy with the care given to our crazy little kid and Madison went over and beyond!”

“Stefanie was great with Luna. Sent pictures and kept me updated! I felt at ease knowing Luna was being loved in a pet friendly home while I was away. Thank you!”

About: Hi, I’m Izzy! I’ve been a professional dog trainer for nearly 4 years, with 8 years of animal care, and am KPA-CCT certified, an AKC evaluator, and experienced with both pet and working dogs. I offer pet sitting and boarding that blends comfort with structure. Your dog will get personalized care, enrichment, and positive experiences while you’re away. Whether you have a high energy puppy or a dog in training, I ensure they stay safe, happy, and well mannered. I currently make my own schedule, with the exception of Fridays, where I’m busy from 1pm-6pm. I love to hike and jog trails, so I typically take my pets with. I also have a pond where we swim in the summer. Safety is always my top priority. I maintain a secure, dog-friendly environment where every pet is supervised and set up for success. I manage introductions carefully, use gates and crates when needed, and never leave dogs unattended together. My home is fully fenced, and I monitor play to ensure everyone stays happy and stress-free. I also follow each owner’s feeding, medication, and training routines closely to keep things consistent and safe.

“Bentley was well taken care of and seemed happy for his 1st time being boarded somewhere.”
