Dog Boarding Coon Rock

“Please read! I will be there first to admit I was skeptical of using Rover. I carefully scanned through profiles of those willing to watch the two dogs we have, a Great Dane and a boxer. Cilyr was so much more than we could have asked for! She and I agreed having a meet and greet prior was a great choice to make sure the dogs would have an easier transition. Cilyr went to every length to ensure she had asked questions we may not have thought of: do the dogs have allergies? Require specific routines? But I was really blown away when she brought to my attention that she does not have a truck large enough for our Great Dane in the event he would need to get to a vet emergently however, she has already arranged with a friend and neighbor that she could borrow theirs should an emergency arise. I knew at that moment She was that absolutely perfect choice to watch our dogs. This was not just a” side gig” for her, she genuinely cares so much for animals and helping others! When I brought the boys back for their week long stay they took about a day and a half to fully adjust. I know this because Cilyr went above and beyond to make sure I knew the boys were doing well and sent pictures! It was so heartwarming to get those little messages and pictures and know our boys were in great hands. Through those pictures you could see our dogs easing into their day and feeling safe and loved. Before we had even returned from our vacation we had discussed that we will hands down take our dogs back to her any time we need to leave them. The personal touches are unmatched to anything we’ve experienced in the past and we will absolutely recommend her every chance we get! Thank you Cilyr!”

“Edith and her husband are absolutely amazing! They take such wonderful care of Henry, and every time we leave him with them, we have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands. One thing we really appreciate is the thoughtful communication. The updates and photos are the perfect balance—frequent enough to reassure us that Henry is happy, comfortable, and well cared for, but never excessive. They always include just the right amount of detail, which makes it easy to relax and enjoy our time away. It’s obvious that they genuinely love dogs and treat Henry like part of their own family. We always come home to a happy, well-loved pup, and we couldn’t ask for a better experience. We highly recommend Edith to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter!”

“This was my first time using Rover and Lindsey did an excellent job of making me feel comfortable with leaving Thelma Lou in her care. From the photos she sent, to seeing Thelma Lou when I picked her up, I know my dog had a wonderful time and was treated well. I highly recommend Lindsey to anyone.”

“Katie, Samuel, and their family always take such good care of our Jarvis! They send frequent updates and always make sure that he has everything he needs to be comfortable while there. We know we can always trust them. We look forward to our next booking with them :)”

About: I've grown up with many dogs and have a dog myself that I love dearly. I also have grown up with cats and currently have two. I do have some training skills that I've acquired over the years from training my own dog and foster dogs I've had. As well as my new career path in Veterinary medicine (currently a vet assistant for a mobile Veterinarian). I'll treat your pet like they were my own, and care for whatever needs they may have. My current work schedule allows me to do early morning walks, and afternoons during the week are typically open. Weekends I do bartend, but will be able to do a walk or two in the mornings or early afternoons. I will always listen carefully to what your routine is with your pet as well as how you would like me to care for them and do my very best to stick to your expectations, if not exceed them.

“My boy had the BEST time with Manjusha & Midhun! They went above and beyond caring for him - several photo/video updates, walks, treats, and cuddles. They made sure he was comfortable, loved, and spoiled as much as possible during his stay and I truly couldn’t have asked for better care. Zero complaints and highly, highly recommend! ❤️🥰”

“Jenny and her family did an excellent job watching Teddy and giving him the best experience during the holidays. It was even his birthday and they went above and beyond to throw a birthday party for him! We are so appreciative of how well Teddy was treated and all the photo updates were reassuring. Teddy is looking forward to his next stay! Highly recommend! 🤍”

“I can’t say enough great things about Candi and the care she took with our two dogs. I’ve never felt so comfortable with “boarding” my dogs while I was gone for a long trip. I knew they were being treated like part of her family. She sent videos and pictures to keep me updated. My big dog ended up having some stomach issues and Candi didn’t skip a beat. We called my vet and she picked up some meds and got her back on track. Her four dogs were great with mine - they had such a blast. Not sure who enjoyed the vacation more, me or the dogs. She also has a beautiful acreage for them to run around and get fresh air. Wish I would have found her earlier! Thank you Candi!”

About: I grew up owning a dog as a child and loved it! Unfortunately right now I am so busy to own my own pet. I have been dog sitting for friends and co-workers for multiple years and love having animals around when it works with my schedule. My husband grew up with cats and dogs and our 8-year-old daughter absolutely loves animals and would like to be a veterinarian when she grows up. My family loves animals and we would like to help others while also getting to enjoy caring for pets. I work full time during the week, but my husband works from home so we would be able to accommodate watching if enough notice is given. We have a fenced-in backyard and are right next to a great walking trail. We do have steps in our home but if that is a problem there is plenty of space on the main level and we could block the stairs.

“Cleda has been our pet sitter for the past 2 years and she's just the best! Our pups love her, we get updates and cute pics everyday, and we're just happy and comfortable knowing our pups will have the best care and best time with her!”

Pamela D.

“They were kind and responsive. It was the best experience we have had with boarding our pet. We would definitely book with them in the future.”

“Gen was fantastic! Regular updates, clearly cares about dogs, we felt very comfortable with her taking care of our dog while we were away. Will definitely be reaching back out to Gen the next time we need a pet sitter!”

“Pri was outstanding to work with. She was very caring of Louie. Provided extremely prompt communication. Would have enjoyed some pics but I was so comfortable with the care that it was ok. Would highly recommend and will revisit.”

About: I have years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats through personal pet ownership, animal shelter volunteering, fostering, and pet sitting for friends and family. During my undergraduate years, I spent several years volunteering at animal shelters and fostering animals with a wide range of ages, personalities, and care needs. I've cared for young puppies, kittens, adult cats, senior dogs, and older rescues who were still learning potty-training routines. Through these experiences, I've become comfortable working with shy, nervous, and anxious animals, as well as dogs who need extra patience on walks or tend to pull on the leash. I also have experience with basic puppy training, reinforcing commands, managing potty-training accidents, and caring for multiple pets at once. I'm experienced with administering both oral and injectable medications, and I understand the importance of carefully following each pet's specific care instructions. I grew up caring for my family's pug, who lived to be 15 years old, and I currently have a sweet 4 year old rescue dog. I've also fostered and cared for multiple dogs and cats in my home, so I'm familiar with managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. One of the biggest things fostering has taught me is that every animal is different. Some pets want to play all day, while others prefer quiet company or need a little extra time to warm up. I love getting to know each pet individually and making sure they receive the attention, patience, and affection that works best for them! I'm currently a graduate student at UW-Madison, and one of the best parts of my schedule is that my lab allows me very flexible hours! This gives me plenty of freedom throughout the week to work around your pet's routine and make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. Since I'm not tied to a traditional 9 to 5 schedule, I can make time for dog walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and overnight house sitting. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, your kitten wants some extra playtime, or your furry friend just needs someone to keep them company while you're away, I'm happy to help! I also have a 4 year old rescue dog of my own, so walks, feeding, playtime, and spending quality time with animals are already part of my everyday routine. I'm available most days and am happy to coordinate around your pet's usual schedule. I know how important consistency is for animals, especially those who are younger, older, or a little anxious, and I'll do my best to keep their routine as comfortable and familiar as possible. And of course, I'll always make time for plenty of cuddles, playtime, and pictures of your little fur babies! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! Through my experience volunteering at animal shelters and fostering dogs and cats, I've learned how important it is to be patient, attentive, and respectful of each animal's individual needs. I'm comfortable caring for shy or anxious pets, energetic puppies, senior animals, and pets who may need a little extra attention or reassurance. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I'll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special care needs. I also have experience administering oral and injectable medications and understand the importance of following the instructions provided for each pet. I live alone with my sweet 4 year old rescue dog, who gets along very well with other animals. I've also cared for multiple cats and dogs in my home before, so I understand the importance of paying attention to each pet's personality, comfort level, and boundaries. I'm mindful of keeping pets secure during walks, being attentive to their behavior, and making sure they feel comfortable in their surroundings. I also treat every client's home with care and respect. Communication is really important to me, so I'm always happy to send regular photos and updates during visits or overnight stays. I want you to be able to relax knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and getting plenty of love and attention while you're away!

“Homa and Matt took in our dog Angus and treated him as family. They have a 2 year old that chased and played with him like their other dog. Angus did not even notice us leaving. Homa sent pictures every day showing a happy dog so we could relax and enjoy our time away. I highly recommend this beautiful place with a spacious yard and loving environment for any dog.”

“Jackie was great with Daisy and so was Penny. Very helpful and accommodating dog sitter”

Aimee C.

“Our 4 month old Luna stayed at Ballby's house for the weekend and we couldn't have been happier with the service. The hosts was willing to pick Luna up from daycare on Friday evening, they were very gracious about the "accidents" that our pup had on her first night, and we received photo updates throughout the weekend. Luna had so much fun playing with Ballby that she came home Sunday and passed out until the next morning. We will definitely recommend this host.”

Kelli H.

“Taylor did a great job making sure Madigan was comfortable and adjusted. Madigan enjoyed her stay and the care she received. The only unknown was how Madigan would tolerate the cats and some dogs since her diagnosis of advanced heart disease. She did okay sometimes and sometimes not. It probably fluctuates with how she's feeling in the moment. There were no major issues. I highly recommend Taylor as an option for your pet!”

Brian D.

“Ryan, Jocelyn and their family took such great care of our dog while we were away- I think he was sad to leave them! We would definitely recommend them and book with them again in the future!”

About: I’m a full-time professional dog trainer and owner of Big Dog Status LLC, with over 8 years of experience working with animals, including 4 years in veterinary care. I hold a B.S. in Animal Science from the University of New Hampshire and am certified in animal CPR and First Aid. My background goes well beyond basic pet care! I specialize in canine behavior, including reactivity, anxiety, aggression, puppy development, and obedience training. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, including those who may need a little extra patience or structure. Whether your dog is a young puppy learning the ropes, a senior needing attentive care, or a dog with behavioral challenges, my goal is to provide safe, knowledgeable, and individualized care while you're away. I work Big Dog Status full time. So I am very flexible with the schedule and can tailor things to you and your dogs needs As a professional dog trainer with a background in veterinary care and canine behavior, I strive to provide more than your average boarding experience! My goal is to make your dog's stay feel like their own little vacation, with plenty of adventure, enrichment, and individualized attention. Dogs in my care enjoy daily hikes and outdoor adventures for a minimum of one hour, along with opportunities for structured play, mental enrichment, and training throughout their stay. Whether we're practicing leash manners, reinforcing basic obedience, exploring new trails, or enjoying some downtime, I tailor each dog's activities to their individual needs and abilities. Safety and structure are extremely important to me. All dogs boarding in my home must be crate trained and comfortable settling in a crate, as crates are used for safe, uninterrupted downtime throughout the day. I provide appropriate supervision, carefully manage interactions, and never force dogs to socialize. For the safety and comfort of everyone, I do not accept dogs with aggression or separation anxiety for in-home boarding. I keep my boarding numbers limited so every dog receives personalized care rather than getting lost in a large group. Owners can expect regular photo updates, clear communication, and peace of mind knowing their dog is being cared for by an experienced professional. When caring for pets in a client's home, I maintain their established routines, training expectations, and household rules while providing the same level of attentive, individualized care. My goal is simple: Your dog comes home happy, fulfilled, and well cared for, with plenty of adventures to tell you about!
