“We boarded Griffin again with Meagan, overnight. We had planned to pick him up at 4 PM the next day. something came up at the last minute and I requested doggy daycare with her, to keep him until 9:30 PM. She was very accommodating, even though it was last minute. I appreciate that she was flexible, so much!”


“Ashley and her family were great! They kept my high energy dog busy all weekend with all kinds of running around. Sent multiple updates on what was going on which was awesome!”


“Margaret was excellent to my Husky! My dog got along great with Margaret's dogs and they had a good time playing while we were on vacation. My dog got lots of attention and was never caged. Margaret also sent me pictures each day to keep me posted on how my dog was doing. I highly recommend Margaret to anyone looking to leave their furbaby with someone that will care and love them while you are gone.”


“Jennifer was great with our dog Molly when we went away over the weekend! She kept us updated with pictures and messages and took her for lots of walks. Thanks for taking such good care of her!”


“John & Jodie are truly amazing hearts!! They treated my 2 obnoxious, but loving fur boys as real children whom I typically worry & miss in a new person's care, but after our meet & greet I felt calm & during our time away from our pups had happy videos and texts of my boys having soo much fun & love. I was so very happy & grateful. My dogs truly had a vacay day with them. I would absolutely use them again and highly recommend. This review truly doesn't sum up our happy and thankful experience with them. Again, John & Jodie are amazing hearts! ??????”


“Awesome! She was accommodating, pleasant to work with and I felt confidant that my pup was well taken care of. Gina stayed in communication during my time away and was responsive to my texts and questions. I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her again.”


“Took our pup in overnight, with a couple hours notice. He came home very happy and well cared for. Her pack was very accepting of Pete so your dogo will have plenty of great company!”


“My dog loves staying with Debbie! This is the 2nd time I’ve booked with her and this was a long boarding for 10 days. I had no worries while I was gone. Daily updates, pictures and videos.”


“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Jasper really appreciated the photographs. Sorry I couldn’t communicate as we were away in Europe. Really appreciate your care.”


“I can’t recommend Maria enough! She takes amazing care of my fur babies which includes taking them on lots of walks, which they love. She really helped me out when I was in a bind and was able to take my fur baby overnight with very short notice. I am so thankful to have found her!”


“Charlie had another amazing experience with Ashley and her family! They treat Charlie as their own and she answers any questions I have. I know Charlie truly enjoys his time with her!”


“Heather took really good care of Maia while she was there. She was very flexible with last minute booking and drop off and pick up times! I love that she sends pictures of Maya during her stay!”


“We're very happy with how Nicolle and Gary took care of our two labs! We really appreciated the safety conscious meet and greet ahead of their stay. Nicolle definitely seems to have a good handle on how dogs interact, so we had no worries during our trip out of town. And they have a beautiful backyard that any pup would love. Would recommend and will definitely use them again!”


About: I've lived with animals, big and small, my whole life. If there was a stray animal, all of a sudden it wasn't stray anymore. Recently got my first (working breed) puppy and doing everything I can to make sure he is well socialized and well behaved. This has given me a lot of insight on how to keep a dog mentally and physically challenged. We have also taken obedience classes. For mental challenges, we do training, hide and seek, and large variety of dog puzzles. For physical, we play with soccer ball, fetch, flirt pole, frisbee, we also have plenty of space for play. I would be happy to include your dogs in our day! Stay at home mom with pretty much full availability. We still need to be home pretty consistently for our 7 month old pup. Would just request information on crating options in case it fell on grocery day and I need to leave for an hour, but majority of the time, I am home! I care for your pet based off your given expectations. I'm home most of the day, so if you'd like me to follow a very specific set of instructions, I can do that. I know how important routines are for dogs and I can try my best to keep your dog on their routines. I will only accept dogs that have a chance to meet my dogs first, at a meet and greet. My dogs are friendly and the pup is certainly playful, so if it is a good fit, they will all have a lot of fun together! I can only accommodate care in my own home as I have small children. Children and pets are never left alone without my supervision (whether its your pet or my pet) for all parties safety. Please let me know anyway I can make you feel at ease, with updates, pictures and videos, or anything else you can think of.

“Maureen was welcoming, friendly, and very accommodating to my little dachsund's idiosyncrasies! She sent me updates to ease my mind and ensure a worry-free vacation. I would not hesitate to have her take care of my girls in the future. I highly recommend Maureen!”


“Madeline is great with our Frenchie. We have used her to watch him several times now. She communicates easily and lets us know how things are going. He has a great time and we know he is well cared for.”


About: I can watch animals of all sizes, chickens, goat dogs, cats, dogs, I own a few types over the years and can possibly learn a new pet, if needed to watch ❤️❤️🐰 I’m currently at home during the day, I’m usually scheduled 1-2 nights a week and will have my daughter helping with the responsibilities for caring for your animals, walking, reading them books and loving on them! I can care for your baby at my home, or yours. Sometimes they’re more comfortable in their home, safety comes first. I will be taking your dog, for walks, car rides, and down to the lake to see my world.

About: I’ve owned a cat since I was 5! I know how to do litter and I understand cat language. If you’d be more comfortable, I’d be able to put my cats away in a separate room to care for yours alone and make sure they feel safe. However my cats love other cats and wouldn’t harm yours!:) I would have time everyday after 3pm as I don’t currently have a car so my mom would have to drive me after she works! On saturdays im free all day and sundays after church - so after about 12pm. I have nine cats who I take care of daily and will keep your cat company, if you have a dog however, I’d put my cats away just to be safe!

About: Love caring for and playing with pets of all kind! I have had pets my whole life. Grew up on a farm, taking care of all types of animals. Looking to board your pet at my home while you are away. I currently board dogs but this is my first time using rover to do so. Personally own one dog (pitty) and one cat. I accept all sizes of puppers! Thank you. I work from home so I am available pretty much anytime for drop offs and pick ups. Your animal(s) will not be home alone while you’re gone. I have a completely fenced in back yard for your pet to run around. My dog is very friendly with other dogs and loves to play. I do offer traditional kenneling if needed as well as in my home boarding.

“Amber has cared for our dog, Tassie, while we were on vacation. Tassie is a bit finicky, a bit spoiled, and used to having things done her way. Amber was able to accommodate her personality and preferences, and seemed to have a great stay there. I received several photos and updates while we were away. I would recommend her service and have rebooked with her for an upcoming stay.”
