“This was our second booking with Christina. We have full confidence in her ability to take great care of our 3 pups. They have lots of fun playing with her personal dogs and daycare guests in her large, fenced backyard. We especially appreciated her flexibility in accommodating a change in our travel plans and allowing for an earlier pick-up. 10/10!”
“Natalie took great care of Fletcher! We were nervous to leave him for longer than we had before, but Natalie sent plenty of updates and pictures, and fletcher came home happy and tired ?”
“Gisli is well taken care of, and made to feel part of the family. He's usually quite reserved when being introduced to new people and places, but seems quite relaxed and comfortable after his visits. Highly recommended!”
“Cindy was great to work with. We met her for a meet and greet with our dog before we booked. She was very friendly and made us feel confident that she would take great care of Brady. She sent us daily photos and you could tell the dogs love her backyard. We even got a photo of Brady taking a nap snuggled up next to her.”
“Breanna has been an absolute lifesaver! Her flexibility was quite remarkable. But, on to the dogs— she’s like a dog whisperer lol. My very difficult and reactive dog took to her immediately and my senior dog was comfortable as well. My dogs were well cared for, no doubt about it. I will definitely use her again.”

“I had no worries about my dog when I left her with Colleen. My dog is a little skittish with adults she doesn’t know but warmed up to Colleen easily. Lola had a blast with her and other dogs. So happy.”
“Craig was very accommodating and absolutely amazing with my dog hazel! She’s normally a littler tentative around men but she immediately took to him. He sent frequent updates and great photos including a video of hazel snoring in his lap. By the time we picked her up I’m not sure she wanted to leave.”
“Our dog squid had a fantastic time with Rose and her dogs while we went away for a 4 day trip. Rose was very easy to work with and sent pictures and updates all throughout squids stay with her. We are super grateful and will absolutely be reaching out to her next time we need a reliable dog sitter.”
“Our pup is a sensitive, nervous guy. Marna made sure he felt loved and at home. I could tell he was having fun with her family through the photos she sent. She filled us in each day and sent photos. 🤩 Will definitely use Marna again!”
“Our pup had an amazing time! He seemed right at home and we had great communication throughout his stay. We would definitely reach out again if we need a sitter in the future!”

“Tonya took great care of our little dog, Key while we were away for the week. She sent us photos and updates. Our dog looked well taken care of when we picked him up. We are planning on bringing him back again when we go on vacation.”
About: I have lots of experience working with animals, including time working at an animal hospital during high school, where I learned to care for pets of all kinds. I’m familiar with administering medications and meeting the unique needs of different animals. I am currently searching for a summer job while taking a couple summer classes while i finish my associate degree. My schedule is very open! In my home i have one dog a very friend golden retriever who loves playdates and we have a big yard by woods. I’m very attendant and anxious so i spend a lot of time outside with my dog and love going for walks
“Chelsea was absolutely amazing. This was my first time using Rover and I have never boarded dogs before. I’m so glad I went with an in home boarding instead of a big kennel. She sent pictures daily and my pups looked like they were on a vacation themselves! I didn’t have to worry about them at all. Will definitely be using her again for future trips!”
“Natalie took such good care of our dog. She sent regular updates, with gorgeous photos. She have him loads of attention and cuddles, was sensitive and responsive to his many needs (he has anxiety and can't be around other dogs). We would hire Natalie again in a heartbeat and so should you!”
“Jaclyn was AMAZING! She took our reservation last-minute despite not having met our dogs before. We got photo updates and both dogs were happy and pooped after their overnight stay. Will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Alyx was wonderful to work with and we are very happy we found her! She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on Lucy's stay with messages and pictures. We were nervous leaving Lucy with a new sitter but feel confident that she was well cared for and given lots of one-on-one attention in her time with Alyx. We definitely recommend her!”
