1. Whitney S.

“Excellent service & care!! This was our first time not only using Rover, but having a pet sitter. I highly recommend Whitney as she cared for our pupper dog like she was her own!! Thank you so much!!”


2. Brittany S.

“Brittany is great and I highly recommend her. Our dog had a great time and we enjoyed getting photos from her! She’s an excellent communicator and keeps you updated the whole time. She clearly works with animals quite a bit and has a genuine love for them.”


3. Deanna M.

“Deanna was very sweet and made Izzy feel at home. Izzy had just had an eye procedure and Deanna applied drops and medications as directed. Thank you Deanna!”


4. Ann-Marie H.

“Ann-Marie is an excellent communicator. She gave me regular updates and sent plenty of pictures. When I picked up my 5 month old puppy after boarding with her for 5 days he seemed very happy and healthy. I can’t recommend Ann-Marie enough!”


5. Terri W.

“I booked my two cats for boarding over six nights. My Mamacat is 17+ years old. Patch is 11+, diabetic and requires a daily insulin injections. They are 100% indoor cats. Mamacat is terribly nervous with new people, Patch not so much, but cautious. But I think I was more nervous for my babies, than any of us. I was so pleased with the reality of their stay. Due to all their existing issues, Teri housed them in a more isolated area of her home, by her master bedroom. So their contact was basically limited to Teri and her husband. Photos and updates came daily showing evidence of my kitties' progressive relaxation and adjustment. My heart was breathing a sigh of relief. One note. Due to the need of a more isolated & protected area, there was cigarette smoking in the farthest area where they were housed. For me this wasn't an issue at all. I only mention it since, in a similarly limiting need as mine, it might make a difference in decisions. It protected my "nervous nellies"; they were at ease, and I was pleased. In fact, I've already made a second booking!! I'm so grateful to have found Teri for watching my somewhat special needs furry family members. P.S. I saw a beautiful, healthy horse in the adjacent pasture. Then her personal cat came walking across the yard. As a cat lover I'm compelled to attempt petting all that I see. He was friendly, healthy and obviously happy. My nervousness immediately lowered a couple notches. I absolutely recommend Teri to look after your furbearing loved ones.”


6. Lesley A.

“Lesley is amazing! So kind and my dog absolutely adores her. My dog always runs in tail wagging and has the best time with her dog Scarlett. Highly recommend!”


7. Ciara W.

“Ciara was great. She kept us updated on Dale with regular photos. She was very understanding when when our flight was delayed and we had to extend our pick up window.”


8. Miranda W.

“Miranda, her husband and the two children took great interest and care in Frankie. The back yard space is fenced and very generous for a little dog that likes to explore.”


9. Harold C.

“Harold did a wonderful job with our dog Maggie!! He was very kind and loving with her as she is a special needs dog that is deaf. He sent lots of pictures and kept us updated about her stay. I would highly recommend Harold for your boarding needs! 💗🐶”


10. Destiny C.
“Destiny is outstanding with animals across the board. Especially cats and dogs. Anytime I have a question I call her to use her years of experience in the Shelby County Humane society to my advantage. She is also great with behavioral animals that typically fear other people or animals.”


11. Sorelwing A.

“Sorelwing loved on our puppies like they were her own. She sent us pictures and updates daily. Her house is clean and dog proof, and my dogs felt comfortable right away. Thank you for taking such good care of them Sorelwing.”


12. Kelly C.

“Kelly was very accommodating and knowledgeable about dogs. I was afraid that Seven wouldn’t take to the new environment well but I can tell through the updates she gave that he really enjoyed his stay there. Not only that his food was cooked fresh and she was willing to do that as well. She’ll be my first call next time I need to go away!”


13. Jessica S.


“I will never board our dog at a vet or kennel again! Jessica was amazing! Friendly, responsive, accomodating, and took great care of our Australian Shepherd. Our pup came home clean and happy, and it was clear her experience was pleasant and fun! Even when I ruined Jessica's plans by arriving late to pick up our pup, she was forgiving and courteous. Thank you, Jessica. I give you my highest recommendation!!!”


14. Kyle L.
About: I've had and taken care of animals since I was a kid. I have dog sit for dogs from 10-150 lbs. I enjoy being around all animals and would love to walk your dog! I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I can be available pretty much any part of the day that except for specific situations. I care for all pets like they are my own. I truly believe that there are so many things that we can learn from animals and I look forward to learning from your animals!




15. Japheth H.


“We were delighted with the experience our girl had while boarding with Japheth. He sent pictures and kept us updated which relieved our stress. We would definitely use him again!”




16. Ashley P.
“Ashley was superb... She's calm, compassionate and patient with her two pets and my puppy. Her home was extremely clean, clutter and odor free. I was extremely happy with the 7 days of care my puppy received. Her updates included videos and pictures. My dog did things for her that she would not do for me, go figure. If she was not home with the pets for a short period of time. She had video surveillance. ASHLEY HAS THE PET TOUCH!!!!!! I am planning another trip and guess who's my first pick for my puppy's care? Ms. Ashley.”


17. Rachel C.

“Rachel took such good care of our sweet Django. I was so worried about leaving him bc he is only 8 months old. He loved her and her dogs. He had so much fun! She took him on walks and played with him everyday. She sent updates, videos, and pics multiple times a day. We will definitely use her again when we go on vacation! Can’t thank her enough!”


18. Lia W.

“My dog Layla had a blast with Lia and her husband this past week. Lia was superb with communication by always letting me know how Layla was doing and would send me pictures daily as well. Layla was super happy when i picked her up and i am sure she would be thrill to be able to go back with Lia. We appreciated her professionalism and being flexible with our schedule as well. definitely would recommend.”


19. Helena D.


“Helena took good care of 2 high energy puppies. She was flexible in rescheduling and helping with pickup and drop off. I recommend Helena for cats or dogs care.”


20. Sarah B.

“Super sweet and patient with us. We were running late for pick up, and Sarah was totally understanding. Pups came home totally exhausted and happy!”
