“Kelly was fantastic from beginning to end of our first Rover experience. She made the process extremely easy. We booked her for a boarding at her home over the Thanksgiving holiday. We have a 5 year old that had never been separated from her best friend, she was in constant communication with pictures and updates about Penny’s day and how she was doing. We will absolutely using her again for our Penny girl! Thanks Kelly, we really appreciate it!!!”
“This was the 2nd time Nicole watched Pepper for me, this time it was for a couple of days. She takes such good care of him, treats him like he’s her own little guy. Nicole is amazing!”
About: I lost my beagle baby girl a year and a half ago, and I would love to give your pet the same care and attention as her. I have experience walking, nail trimming, administering medication, and assisting with mobility issues. I love all animals and would happily welcome yours into my home. I am looking to provide dog walking/quick visit services on weekdays after my work, and boarding services on weekends when I’m off. While in my care, your pet will have my diligent attention and care. I have a big yard for running and playing. It is not fenced, but I can utilize tethers to give them room to move around under supervision. I will make it my top priority to love your pet and follow your care instructions.
“Our dog seemed to love the farm life! They went for 3 mile hikes up the hill every day. Christina’s barn stays cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, so it felt very cool for our dog in the hot days. Based on her previous experiences, she does not mix dogs when their owners are not around, but our dog spent plenty of time around her family. She sent videos of our dog playing with people and kids as well. The kids loved him!”
“Michelle, Luke, and there staff of little blonde helpers were just the best to take care of Sophie! Lots of attention, exercise, and true caring. Sophie was there for a full week, I received daily pics and updates. They made Sophie part of their family - worry free stay for me. It’s so great to know when we were on vaca and far away that Sophie was in a great situation.”
“Winston had another great stay with Debbie and Adam! I received numerous updates throughout his 5 day stay. I’m so glad I found them. He comes home happy, content, and tired!! He has so much fun there!”
“Michelle took amazing care of our dogs while we were out of town! Her house and yard are a dog’s a paradise. She was also super responsive to messages and sent lots of pictures! I highly recommend her for boarding!!”
“Sarah was able to accommodate us at the last-minute and took great care of our Crusoe. Crusoe has separation anxiety but Sarah's friendly and caring nature helped to calm Crusoe upon drop-off. She took such great care of our little guy and I can tell that he enjoyed his time with Sarah and her family.”
“Maria is amazing! She was responsive, flexible, and kind. She took great care of me senior dog and I will definitely use her again. She even sent him home with treats. Highly recommend!”
“Tina was great. The nice perk is she has a big yard and a doggie door so my Yorkie could go in and out of her house whenever he wanted to. He is very attached to people and she took very good care of him!”
“Rebecca was extremely responsive and accommodating for my first experience using Rover and while I was visiting from out of town! Archie had a great visit with her and her pup while I was out of town, will definitely book again!”
“Bradley did such a great job of taking care of my kitty for the weekend! She makes sure she has all the information she needs beforehand. My cat has medical issues and requires special care and it didn't phase her. I would choose her to take care of my kitty again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”
“Lisa was amazing! She took such great care of our Newfie while we were away. She kept in touch every day and sent many pictures! She even gave Coco a bath and excellent hair cut! I would trust Lisa to take care of Coco anytime! We will definitely continue to use Lisa in the future for all our dog sitting needs!”
“Gary was very sweet and patient with our puppy, Goose! He took excellent care of Goose while we were on a weekend trip. His house has a huge fenced in yard which Goose loved! Would definitely recommend boarding or booking any other service with Gary!”
“Have never felt more comfortable leaving my Gypsy with anyone. Yes, even family. She acted like it was her second home from day one due to Joni making her so welcome. Joni is truly a god sent with animals. When we picked her up she was so glad to see me then went back to playing. I can’t thank her enough and will recommend her to all my friends. Thank you Joni and will definitely see you again!”
“Melissa took excellent care of my pups. She is flexible, communicative, and very attentive and patient with my dogs. Melissa sent daily updates with photos and videos which we loved to see. She has two sweet pups that my dogs got along great with and loved playing with during their stay at her house. They also loved playing in her big fenced in yard. They came home happy and exhausted! We highly recommend Melissa for pet sitting/boarding! Thank you, Melissa!”
“Priyanka was great! She took gizmo last minute and was very accommodating. She has a dog of her own who is very friendly and playful and very nice and clean home. Definitely a place where you feel comfortable leaving your baby. She sent plenty of pictures and updates and overall it was a good experience. Gizmo told me he had a very lovely time!”
