“Bradley was amazing with Chinook and Apache! They had a great time during their stay—Bradley kept me updated with plenty of pictures, and the boys looked so happy when I picked them up. Now they’re both passed out asleep at home, which tells me they had a fun and active time! I’ll definitely be booking with Bradley again. Highly recommend!”

Kyro is a high energy dog and he came home absolutely spent. Karen is amazing.”

Cincinnati dog parents share their Rover experiences
When our German Shepherd walks through Wendy’s door he totally forgets we exist. It makes dropping him off so much easier knowing he is having a blast and not missing us at all while we are gone! As always, Wendy took great care of our boy and sends the best pictures and videos.
Courtney is amazing and so are her furry babies. Mimosa has only been there once but we already have many many more visits planned. Courtney works around odd schedules, is quick with communication, and she clearly knows what she’s doing with the pup because mimosa came home so happy and tired. Can’t recommend her enough!
Leaving Sky for seven days was made so much easier, thanks to Brady. As soon as Sky saw Apache and Chinook, she started singing her husky version of “awoo” (husky howls). Brady was diligent with updates, sending us photos and messages that showed Sky was happy, well exercised and clearly enjoying her time. Coming home to a happy and healthy dog is all we could ask for. We will definitely book him again! Highly recommended!
Another incredible stay! Oakley was taken care of so well over the weekend while I was away. I received plenty of photos, updates and know that he was exercised a great amount! I feel so grateful to have found someone in the area that is so caring, kind and trustworthy. I would highly recommend! Thank you!
Lindsey took very good care of Waffle the week we were away. She sent us daily communication about how he was doing with plenty of photos. Waffle needed a one on one situation and Lindsey provided the specialized care he needed that kept him very safe and happy. Thanks Lindsey!
