1. Kaila G.

“This was our first experience using rover or any type of service like this for our family dog. Kaila did a wonderful job making it a great experience. She answered all questions I had and very quickly. Now, it's time for her to get our puppy and she was very lenient on drop off and pick up time. She was very friendly and listened to what I had to say about our pup and the instructions. Kaila even sent a photo and an update at one point letting me know all was going well! When it was time to pick our pup up she was so happy and didn't really care to leave she kept going back to kaila for love which means she was loved on and well taken care of while she was there! I will absolutely use kailas services again without a doubt and highly recommend her!”

“I asked Kaitlin to do several drop in visits while I have been away for the weekend. She did fantastic with my 2 dogs. She sends daily pictures and provides ample playtime, she will also stay longer during her visits if need as well. I will use her again in the future!”

About: I've been around animals my whole life and they've always been loved and cared for people. Trust me with their animals and tell other people about it. I have a good rapport with the community and the people that I have sold Dogs to. “With over 7 years of dog breeding experience and a lifetime of animal care from growing up on a dairy farm with Belgian horses, caring for animals is simply a way of life for me. We run a responsible breeding program and proudly offer our own registered male Poodle, known for his excellent temperament and quality characteristics—available for both natural and artificial breeding. Pet care is my daily routine, from early morning feedings and exercise to evening cuddle time. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just being present, animals are a central part of my everyday life. Every dog is well-socialized, deeply loved, and treated like one of the family.” Pet Care with a Personal Touch Whether in my home or yours, your pet will be treated like family. I rotate dogs to give them individual attention and safe playtime with others, we have a safe and secure fence —only if they get along well. Just like kids, they get plenty of rest, fun, and love throughout the day. To keep their routine and tummy happy, I ask that you provide their regular food to meet their unique dietary needs.


5. Tina C.

“Tina was an absolutely awesome sitter for our two boys over the weekend! They loved running around her big fenced in back yard and playing with her dog as well! Every day she sent several adorable pictures of the boys and a message about how they were doing, which really let me know they were in the best of hands while we were away. Definitely would recommend Tina to anyone!”


6. Tiffany & David P.

“Everything worked out just fine! Macchi is her happy energetic self and I'm glad to have her back! Thank you so much for utilizing the instructions left for her. It's often difficult to find someone who will follow them. We would totally stay again!”
