“They did a great job with my dog Dio. Victor took Dio on a hike and he also got to enjoy playing with the other dogs. They sent video updates through out the day which I loved. I definitely recommend them!”
“Nothing better than knowing your pup is safe and cared for. Our first time boarding with Rover and loved getting regular photos of our boy running in a big yard or snuggling up on the couch. Highly recommended Amanda and Scott and will be rebooking for an upcoming extended vacation!”
“I can only agree with all the amazing reviews! I was scared my two frenchies would not want to leave Stephanies house. They had a blast. You can feel 110 percent confident in leaving your pets with them. We will book again with Stephanie for sure!”
“Karen P was great! She provided a meet and greet opportunity beforehand to make sure our dogs were compatible with each other. She was very flexible and accommodating in a last minute drop off time as well as an earlier pick up time. I will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Lyra and Scott are great!! My Aussie Beau took to them very quickly and felt right at home immediately. When I got stuck out of town for longer than expected they were completely understanding and happy to help me out. Will definitely book with them again! :)”

“Alyssa was wonderful with Wally! She was flexible with our time frame (the LuLu-Belle docked at 8:00) and she sent us pictures and updates of Wally throughout the day. Wally came home happy and tired from a great day of playing! Thank you, Alyssa. We highly recommend Alyssa.”
About: Hello! My name is Zach, I have two dogs and two cats of my own and have grown up with no less than four pets at any given time. Often when I meet people's furry companions I'm told they warm up to me faster than normal and even some times for the first time, so I'm open to try to care for almost any pet! Responsiveness, honesty, and genuine care should be expected from a pet sitter - let me know if I can help! My partner and I work from home so we're available and flexible throughout the week for all pet care services. Just let us know when and we can try to make it work! I have a big but unfenced yard, two sweet begal-hound mix brothers (one is energetic, the other lazy) and two sweet and playful cat sisters. It's a cozy and fun home environment. All the animals get plenty of attention (we love to play) and the dogs are let out consistently throughout the day. I can crate if needed, follow any special instructions, and we have a spare room if space is needed. Your pet will be treated as our own, just let us know!
About: Creator and owner of dauchshund to the Rescue.I've always had a passion for animals since I was a little girl.I'm currently going to school for veterinary medicine. My life revolves around taking care of animals while running the rescue so I am always home to take care of all of their needs. Each dog and cat is different, so it's on a case-by-case basis, I always like to observe their behavior and take care of them based on what they seem comfortable with.
“Ryan and Stephanie are wonderful! My Charlie had such a good time! I am sure if he wants to come home! Thank you Ryan and Stephanie for taking care of our ? pup”
“Evie and her whole family took great care of our very active dog. She sent us a picture and a video so we could see that June Bug was in excellent hands. I hope to be able to book with them again and definitely recommend them to anyone looking for dog care. Mary H.”
“Alyssa did an amazing job taking care of my dog Claire. She would send me update photos throughout my trip to ease my stress about how Claire was coping with us being gone. The difference between how happy Claire was when we returned proved that Alyssa is an incredible sitter and value compared to local kennels in the area.”

Stephanie A.
“I highly recommend Stephanie Albers to anyone in need of pet sitting or boarding services. She is incredibly dedicated and caring, with a natural ability to connect with animals. Her attention to detail and commitment to providing the best possible care truly set her apart. Having seen firsthand how well she cares for her own pets, I have complete confidence that any animal in her care will be safe, happy, and loved. She is passionate about building a business that not only serves pet owners but also supports animal rescue and well-being. You can trust that your pets are in excellent hands with her.”

Christchurch dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was our first time using Rover. Tate and Rosie, our two yellow labs, had a great overnight stay with Ellie. She gave them plenty of attention and activity - like going to dog camp! We picked them up happy and tired the next day. Thank you for taking good care of them, Ellie!
