The best rover we have ever had. She cared and spoiled our golden retriever like she was her own dog. She was extremely accommodating to a last minute change in a trip and made it easy us to take a trip out of state. I will be looking to book Carla again in the future! Lily was spoiled by her!

About: Hi, I have had dogs, horses, cats, hamsters and fish my entire life. There’s nothing I love more than being in the presence of all sweet creatures!! It’s the joy of my life! I am a Certified Reiki Master as well and happy to assist in any additional way you see fit for your pet. I finished my first book a now seeking multiple walks with new furry friends for my own dog! My daughter is off to college also so I have time to snuggle up animals! I have a fenced yard and one dog that misses doggy daycare since I am home full time now. He is about 10 and loves to be outside or generally just assisting in all things I do during the day.

Kaylee and her whole family were amazing! I needed help in a pinch over spring break, and she came through and took such great care of my dog, Willow, for the entire week. I would absolutely book with her again.

Lynn was awesome with our energetic pup. She immediately seemed to be calm and understanding with him and even was laughing at his silliness within a few minutes of meeting. This was our first time away from him and Lynn made us feel very confident about leaving our puppy with her. She has a great home for dogs and a fenced in area of a big yard. She brought him to dog parks and let him hang near her when he needed more attention. She communicated very well. I am excited for the next time we have an opportunity for our dog to stay with her. I would recommend her to anyone with any type of dog. She has other dogs there regularly, but is somehow able to meet each at their own level as well as bring them all together.

Hollie died a great job with Monte. This was his first stay away from his family & I was NERVOUS, even though we did a meet & greet before booking. Hollie walked me through the Rover process and was kind at every step. Hollie provided plenty of photos, videos, and updates, especially the first night & morning. It sounds like Monte had fun and his playful personality (sock stealing) shined through for them. I will definitely go to Hollie first for any dog boarding that we may need.

About: I love working with pets. My parents have two dogs that I love bringing on walks. They are fun to play with and give attention too. We have also had different dogs when I was growing up it is important to know each pet has a different personality. We have also had cats that are completely different from dogs. I enjoy playing with them with toys and petting them. I also have experience with Guinea pigs. I have had one for over two years and I know how to take care of them. Let me know if I am the right fit to watch your dog, cat, or other animal. Thank you for reading my profile to consider me for watching your awesome and great pets. I love working with animals and I include them in my daily routine. They need do get there exercise, play time, attention and feed/ treats. I would rather take care of them in you home because the pets feel more comfortable when they know where they are. I love to keep them happy

Bethany was so warm and welcoming and a perfect fit for my anxious very attached dog Hawkie. We were able to coordinate a visit in advance to see how he did and he did so well! I knew this was a perfect fit for my dog. I received photos and regular updates on how he was doing and it really put my mind at ease to know my sweet baby was being loved and pampered. I will definitely book with Bethany again in the future. She is a true gem! Thank you so much!

Dropping off my pup with John & Teri felt like leaving him with family. They are incredibly kind, and geniunely care for and love your dog like their own. It helps that they speak doodle, too. The one caution is if you leave your dog there for too many days, they might end up not wanting to come back home. If you have a doodle and need a sitter, you’re doing your dog a disservice if you choose anyone else! 11/10 recommend.

Brittani and her family took very good care of our dog on short notice. In the pictures they sent, our dog looked very happy playing with their dog and when I picked our dog up, he was happy and tired from a lot of playtime. I’d definitely recommend Brittny and her kind family to care for your pet!

Katie was amazing with our dog Polly while we went away on vacation. We did a meet and greet beforehand so Polly was familiar with her pets and we could make sure it was a good fit. Once it was time to drop her off she couldn’t wait to be back there! Katie sent frequent updates and we had no worries at all while away. I highly recommend her as a sitter and will absolutely use her again in the future!
