âWe are so lucky to have found Ashley C. on Rover. Com. Ashley and her husband Brian boarded our 5 month old German Shepherd (Isa) from 7/24/23-7/29/23 at their home. Each morning Ashley sent me an update on Isaâs day without fail. She also included numerous pictures of Isa engaging in play with her own personal dogs. Although, prior to obtaining Isa, one of are greatest worries was that having another dog would tie us down and limit our vacations we enjoy taking. We knew having a German shepherd would be a bit hard to travel with for the most part. I did look at other boarding options but I found them to be lacking and caused me a few sleepless nights on where or who to leave Isa with. Ashley arranged a meet and greet and I knew in the 1st three minutes that Isa would be fine in Ashleyâs home. Isa did wonderful and I did not have a single worry regarding Isa. Each picture showed me that she was thoroughly playing hard, engaged and loved all the romping around with Ashleyâs dogs. They have a great yard and are certainly experienced in boarding dogs. They were very good at keeping her at home routine so she was comfortable. I couldnât thank Ashley and Brian enough for the care they provided for Isa.â

âDarlene and her husband provide a safe and caring environment. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that our fur baby was in good hands. Darlene is wonderful about maintaining communication and occasionally just sending a photo so you know everything is OK. Our little guy is a handful and it appears that she was able to handle his quirks with ease. I would recommend Darlene without hesitation.â

âFriendly, open, took the time to show me her house so I felt comfortable leaving my special girl there overnight. Excellent communication and picture updates. I felt very much at ease knowing my pup was being cared for. I will absolutely use Chantal again!â

âSusan took great care of our little dog! She was very loving and sent pictures regularly. She is also very responsive to texts and calls. I would definitely book her services again.â

âGreat, friendly service! I loved the pictures and updates. Iâve never seen my dog sad to leave a boarding stay but she literally turned around to give Alex a lick on her way out.â

âLaura was fantastic! She was so nice and sent a lot of pictures. She was also flexible when we showed up a bit late. The way she cared for my pups gave me a few new tips for things we will be doing at home.â

âMegan and Tebow were great! We got photos and updates every day. Drop-off and pickup were easy peasy and our pup (who has some special needs) was well cared for. We would be happy to board her with Megan again!â

âChristine & Matthew were great! Easy to book with and sent pictures of our girl enjoying her time with their kid! Bonnie left happy and it was a relief not having to worry about her on our quick trip.â

âAbsolutely wonderful! Professional with a kind/caring spirit! Was my first time ever boarding my precious pooch. Destiny kept me updated and made me feel assured that my pet was in good handsâ

âClaudia took great care of my Hank! She sent lots of pictures and updates and went above and beyond to care for my senior dog in giving him his medication, taking him on walks, and giving him treats. Would definitely recommend!!â

âAndrea took great care of my lil pup on her first overnights without me. She was communicative, has a fenced in yard, a great dog walking neighborhood and I would love to have Rox stay with her for future trips.â

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that since I was eight years old I have been taking care of cats, dogs, reptiles, and rodents. I have 25 rescue cats back home in California in which I work with rescues for free vaccines and neutering and spaying. Lots of the cats I take care of have special needs or require administering medication. I also have experience with dogs with special needs such as being spoonfed. I work part-time over the winter and will spend most days indoors studying for LSAT. I go for walks on breaks and usually give attention to my pets and others between breaks or as needed! My house has spare rooms where I can house pets if they are not comfortable with my cats! My cats can remain on third floor if needed with free roam acccess around house for cats and for dogs it varies on a case by case basis.
About: Iâve loved and cared for dogs my whole lifeâfrom my childhood golden retriever, to my first mini poodle in college, and now my French bulldog puppy. Having a Frenchie has taught me how to care for dogs with sensitive stomachs, skin allergies, and special needs. I cook fresh, balanced meals with real protein and veggies for every meal, and I treat every pup like my ownâgentle, patient, and a little spoiled. Whether itâs walks, cuddles, or home-cooked meals, I make sure each dog feels safe, loved, and completely at home. Iâm an MBA student at Cornell and have classes about three times a week from Monday to Thursday from 9am to 1pm. My boyfriend is home during the day until I return in the afternoon, so thereâs always someone available to care for and walk the pups. Weâre both huge dog lovers and spend most weekends at home since I usually have assignments to work on â which means plenty of time for cuddles, walks, and playtime with your furry family member. Your pupâs comfort and safety are my top priorities. I have a French bulldog with sensitive skin and allergies, so Iâm extremely careful about hygiene, food, and playtime routines. I also have a bit of OCD when it comes to cleaning â my home is spotless, sanitized daily, and always pet-safe. Every pup has their own cozy, comfortable space to relax, and I can easily follow any feeding or medication instructions. Whether your dog needs fresh meals, extra attention, or a calm environment, theyâll be cared for with the same love and detail I give my own.
âMonica was amazing with our dog! He came home happy, healthy, and was clearly well taken care of. He also had a great time with their dog. I will most definitely use her services again!â

âRiya is the best. Barkley felt instantly comfortable with her and her pup, Archie. She was so kind to help us on short notice. She took great care of Barkley, sent photos, and gave us the perfect amount of communication. Highly recommend her and will definitely connect with her again!â

âOur bulldog Leia had an amazing time! She played a ton in the huge, fenced-in yard and seemed to be very well cared for and received a lot of personal attention. We received a lot of nice updates with photos and videos. She was very tired when she got home which is great! We hope to have Leia stay with Robert and Eileen again when we travel in the future.â

âWe had an amazing experience with Hanna as our dog sitter! She was incredibly responsible and caring. Our dogs were happy and well taken care of, and we received regular updates. Hanna truly went above and beyond. We highly recommend her services!â
