Link enjoyed his stay. The videos of him having zoomies don’t lie. Picked him up and he was tuckered. Thank you Curtis, Lindsey and family for treating Link as one of your own. Will definitely book you guys for future times when Link can’t travel with us.

We are first time users of Rover and are so happy we found Carrie. Finnegan really enjoyed his overnight visit, and was welcomed into Carrie’s home as if it were his own. Carrie was extremely attentive to Finnegan’s needs and communicated with me frequently from the start. Finnegan can’t wait to go back in a few weeks!

About: For over 20 years, I’ve devoted my life to caring for dogs with the same love and attention I give my own. As a professional groomer and lifelong animal lover, I’ve learned that every dog has its own personality, quirks, and needs—and that they all deserve a safe, happy place to call home while their families are away. At my home-based boarding, your pup isn’t just a guest—they’re family. With a cozy indoor space, a secure outdoor play yard, and plenty of cuddles in between, I make sure every tail wags with joy. Whether it’s playtime, rest time, or a little extra pampering, my goal is always to give them comfort, care, and peace of mind—so you can feel at ease knowing your best friend is in loving hands. Pet care is my life and my passion. As a home-based groomer with 20+ years of experience, I combine professional skills with the comfort of a family environment. Dogs aren’t just clients—they’re guests in a loving home where every wagging tail is noticed, every need is met, and every pup feels safe, happy, and cared for. My home-based setup allows me to give personalized attention, cozy care, and consistent love that bigger facilities often can’t match. My home doubles as a haven for pups! I have a cozy basement workshop where I work, a special indoor play yard where puppies can romp safely, and a fenced outdoor yard for fresh-air fun. And of course, after work, it’s family time—they’re free to snuggle, play, and enjoy life with me beyond the yard.

Crystal was wonderful looking after our two small dogs! She gave them lots of attention and took great care administering medications for our elder one. Her frequent updates and communication were great! We received photos and videos of their day. Our “kids” are exhausted, in a good way. I’m pretty sure they’d have been happy to stay. We’re thankful for all of Crystal’s care and love! Knowing they’re in good hands makes our time away a little easier.

Jason is amazing as always! We had a last minute request and he was very accommodating. This time our pup stayed with him and Jason was absolutely fantastic. Jason kept us updated with regular messages and photos, and it was clear our furry companion was comfortable and well cared for. Pickup/drop-off was smooth, communication was quick, and our pup came home happy and relaxed. We’ll definitely be booking with Jason again, and I’d recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and professional sitter.

Brittanie & Ryan were amazing! I had never used this service before and was a bit nervous. They were great and explained how it worked, and I met them before booking to make sure it was a good fit for all of us. It really was!! I could tell they took care of my dog as well as their own. They sent pictures throughout the week and texted back right away with any questions that I had. I can’t thank them enough and would definitely recommend them 100%! What a wonderful family and they loved Lucky and he was so happy with them and their family.

Andrea is the perfect sitter! I appreciated her flexibility with drop off and pick up times and her very calm, personable and welcoming demeanor. Sarge loved being at her house and was already exploring the house by the time I left. Andrea made sure he had all the comforts of home and even got him to sleep in a dog bed that she provided. When I picked him up, he was very content and in no hurry to go home. I have already booked another stay, as I know Sarge will be in good care with Andrea.

Kelly was fabulous! She watched our two newfies and they were so happy I was afraid they would not want to come home. I think it is a big plus that Kelly has a yard where the dogs could work off some of their energy and play. I really appreciated the updates and photos that Kelly sent through the stay, which put us at ease. I would really recommend Kelly - five stars!

Candice accepted a very last minute booking over a holiday weekend and was great! Great communication and both of my dogs were happy the second they arrived. They were able to come and go from inside to outside and had a playmate. Would definitely book again!

Joleen was so good with my pups that when we showed up to pick them up they didn’t even want to leave! They obviously adored her and they stayed for about 5 days. She had so much land that I just know they loved. She was super sweet and sent us photos while we were away! Would rebook again for sure.
