“We love leaving Atlas with Patty! She gives us tons of pictures and makes us feel so comfortable leaving our pup! He always loves staying with her and his dog buddies!”


“Kassandra and Johnathan were great with our Puppy Leo! He is a big ball of energy and they were great with him and he loved playing with their dog Charlie. I would recommend to anyone in the area and will definitely bring Leo back when we need boarding again!”

About: I’m a certified dog trainer with 30 years of experience and have helped thousands of dogs—from puppies to seniors. Your dog will never go home with worse manners after staying with me! Every pup gets one-on-one attention, enrichment, and plenty of daily playtime. I’m home the majority of the week, which means your dog gets lots of company, cuddles, and care! I’m happy to board your sweet pup anytime you need me. I’ve got a fully fenced yard and a goofy young playmate who loves making new dog friends! Your pup will enjoy tons of zoomies, sniffing, and social fun. At night, everyone snoozes safely in their crates—but don’t worry, I’m always on “midnight potty duty” for puppies and seniors who need a quick outing!
“Sheronda was great! Communicated often with us, sent us lots of great photos of our dog, and did a great job socializing him with the other dogs (making him comfortable). She has a great back yard (fenced in), with lots of great areas to walk dogs. Overall we are super pleased, will be booking with them again!”

“We don’t let anyone else watch our French bulldog. David takes her for plenty of walks, gives her lots of attention, and makes sure she gets her medication. She’s very happy with David, as are we!”

“Sylva and Mark are some of the most kind and genuine people. We were very fortunate to have been able to leave our sweet girl with them for almost a week. She was very well cared for and loved on. We got pictures everyday which we loved. It was a huge relief to go on a trip and know that our dog was in good hands. Couldn’t recommend them enough. Thanks again!!”

“Elizabeth was amazing! and very accommodating for my last minute request. Being that it was my first time leaving my own fur babies with a sitter, I felt completely comfortable and at ease knowing they were having a good time with Elizabeth, her husband, and her pup Cooper. We will definitely be using her again and I can't recommend her enough to others!”
“Stephanie is wonderful to work with and it’s safe to say my golden, Lucy, loves her now. She helped me with last minute boarding request. We did an initial daycare so they could get to know each other before boarding and Lucy was super excited once she knew she was going back after her daycare day. Stephanie lets you everything going on and shares lots of videos & pictures during the stay. Would 100% recommend Stephanie to anyone interested in finding a safe and loving home to send your fur baby for a day or more.”

“Mery and Brad were great! They sent photos of our dog while we were away on vacation. They were flexible and allowed us to add on days at the last minute to accommodate for travel time to and from our vacation even though it delayed their day trip plans.. Our dog came back happy and obviously well taken care of. Definitely will use them again!!”

“Jannice was wonderful! From the moment we met, I could tell she loves animals. Our dog Lili took to her right away. I highly recommend her! You can’t trust just anyone with your furry baby, but I know I can trust Jannice. - Caroline”

“Jennifer took the time to really understand Caleb's geriatric needs, introduce him to her home, and help him feel really comfortable there. She sent photos and updates frequently throughout the week. She is genuinely kind and caring, and was wonderful with our aging Golden Retriever. We will definitely ask for her help if we need care for Caleb in the future.”


“Alyson was wonderful! She was very patient with my dogs, even when they got nervous and peed on her floor. They quickly warmed up to her and her dog, and from the photos she sent, it was obvious they were having a great time. I will definitely rebook with Alyson.”

“Absolutely amazing person! I was nervous at first to use Rover, but when I met Christopher I was instantly comfortable with him and his home. He’s super assuring and I loved the pictures he sent me through out my pets visit. Number one on my list to call for a sitter!”

“Vera kindly agreed to host our Piper with less than a week’s notice. She was super communicative, sending a reminder packing list prior to the visit, as well as detailed updates and lots of photos. Piper had a terrific time with Vera and returned home a happy pup. Thank you!”
“Rebecca and her sweet little family are delightful. She is so thoughtful and loving. She sent lots of pictures for me and assured me Duke was in great hands. I will absolutely use her again!”


“Debbie was patient, kind, and flexible in every aspect. I would highly recommend her and I plan on requesting her boarding services the next time I need them. Thank you so much Deb!”

“Albert was fantastic! Not only did he take my Ollie O as a last minute booking when a friend cancelled on me last minute, he took Ollie on when he was already booked! It was wonderful to be able to not worry while I was away on my trip! Ollie was happy & loved spending time with Albert! I will absolutely be re-booking with Albert in the future!”

Chelsea and Christopher are absolutely amazing. Our regular boarding facility closed and we were in search of a caring and loving place to leave our 11 year old Goldendoodle. I did a meet and greet and knew this was the place for us. 3 weeks before our vacation our girl tore her acl and needed some extra care. They were onboard to continue to take her as they have so experience with this sort of thing. We got updates and photos everyday letting us know how she was doing. We could tell she was being loved and cared for. We will definitely be booking with them again!!!

This was my first time using Rover, and I really lucked out! Kristine and Bob were, in a word, awesome!! They were very gracious, have a very nice home, and my golden retriever took to them (and their own dog) immediately!! Kristine sent me lots of pictures of my dog while I was away, and gave me updates on how he was doing! My "buddy" had a great time and was SO well cared for!! I plan on using them next time I need boarding for him: I would highly recommend them!!

Korinne absolutely couldn’t have been a better caretaker for my pup. She stayed in close contact with me throughout my trip and sent plenty of pics and videos so I could be sure that my doggie was having an amazing time over there (probably even more fun than she has at home!). Korinne has a really comfortable space with a luxurious backyard and I honestly can’t recommend her highly enough!
