“Jennifer was absolutely fantastic with our new addition. You could tell right from the start that she was an animal lover and our puppy took right to her within minutes. I think what set her apart for us is she gave individual attention to him the whole weekend, providing a nurturing atmosphere which was so much better then him staying with a group of dogs in a kennel type situation. We wouldn't hesitate to use her again anytime, that is if she will take our wild puppy again!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs with different ages, personalities, and needs. I have two dogs of my own, including a senior dog and another who has a lifelong injury requiring extra attention and specialized care. Caring for them has taught me to be patient, observant, and attentive to the little things—whether that means adjusting activities, following specific routines, giving extra time and reassurance, or simply knowing when a dog needs to slow down and rest. I understand that every pet is different, and I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. As a work-from-home professional, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and regular potty breaks throughout the day. I’m home most of the time, so your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches. I enjoy having pets around while I work and can easily incorporate their needs into my day while still maintaining a reliable routine. Whether your pet needs extra attention, a midday walk, medication reminders, or simply someone nearby, I’m able to provide consistent, loving care. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I take that responsibility seriously. I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel secure and at home. I’m attentive to their behavior, routines, and individual needs, and I’m careful to maintain a safe environment both inside and outside the home. My goal is simple: when you’re away, you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and receiving plenty of love and attention.
“My dog was very happy. When a minor mishap did occur, Paula let me know and remedied it smoothly, while being attentive to my dog. If she’ll have her, I will happily trust my dog here again.”
About: I've had dogs since I was a child and can't imagine a home without one. Over the years, I've had experience caring for high-energy breeds, senior dogs, dogs recovering from injuries, and dogs who require medication. I enjoy getting to know each dog's individual personality, routine, and quirks and helping them feel comfortable while they're away from home. When your dog stays with me, I want them to feel like part of the family. I understand that every dog is different, so I'm happy to follow their normal feeding, exercise, medication, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. Whether your dog loves walks and playtime or would rather relax and get some extra attention, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I'm retired military and have base access. I understand firsthand that military life can mean deployments, TDYs, long workdays, and unexpected changes to your schedule. Having someone dependable to care for your dog can make those transitions a little easier, and I'd love to provide your dog with a comfortable place to stay while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I work at a local school during the week, but I am able to come home during the day for a midday potty break. Before and after work, I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. On weekends and school breaks, I'm home more throughout the day. I will do my best to accommodate your dog's normal routine and schedule while they're staying with me. I know consistency can help dogs feel more comfortable when they're away from home, so please let me know what they're used to! At this time, I am not accepting recurring bookings. My home has a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for supervised outdoor time, and we're close to trails for walks and exploring. My dog is well-socialized and used to having other dogs around. I also have the ability to separate living spaces when needed, so dogs can have their own space to relax, eat, or simply take a break from each other. Your dog's safety and comfort are very important to me. Boarding clients are required to provide proof of current vaccinations and dogs must be kennel trained. Kennels provide each dog with a safe, familiar space and allow me to safely separate dogs when needed. To help keep all of the dogs in my care healthy, please let me know if your dog has been sick or has had any recent symptoms before their stay. Dogs showing signs of illness at drop-off will not be able to stay.
“Jennifer was amazing with my skittish pup. She has two sweet dogs, one of which is a big, lovable German Shepard who at first made my little pup nervous, but with Jennifer's oversight the two were soon getting along no problem. I came home to a happy dog!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Eagle River
This was the first time we had used rover so didn’t really know what to expect but Kaitlin and John were great from the start. We arranged a meet and greet and we could see our dog Frank was happy as soon as he got there so we booked once we got home. They were very accommodating when we asked to move the drop off time due to flight change, and provided pictures and updates each day. Frank enjoyed his time with their family and we would highly recommend.
My pups have stayed with Amanda a few times now and it has been a wonderful experience every time. When I leave my dogs with Amanda, I know the are going to be well loved and cared for. Amanda is always responsive, sends great pictures, and my dogs always come home happy.
Our pup Greta can be a bit shy, but Ramona kept me updated on her frequently and Greta quickly became comfortable and happy with Ramona’s family! I loved all of the photo and video updates; it gave me such peace of mind while away and our son loved seeing our pup having an adventure of her own! I’d be so happy to have Ramona and her family watch Greta for us again!
Faelyn was awesome! She responded immediately to my short notice request and was available the following day for a meet and greet since we ha had not met at the time and are very particular with anyone we leave our two senior dachshunds with. She took great care of our babies and even sent fun pictures to show how they were doing while we were gone. Would highly recommend her and will definitely take advantage of her services again when and if we go out of town and aren't able to take them with us.
Accepted a booking with less than 5 hours notice which was amazing! I didn't even need to give them the litter box or litter I brought, they had a spare. 10/10 would recommend, the pick up and drop off process was insanely easy and my cat wasn't anxious or anything when we got back home which is a great sign because she can be pretty sensitive!
This is our first time on Rover.com, and we were very fortunate to find Chelsea, who was willing to care for Nirobi while we were out of town for a week. We had never left our dog with anyone before, so we were very nervous and reluctant. However, Chelsea communicated with us via text, photos, and videos daily. If there were any concerns, Chelsea did not hesitate to ask to ensure Nirobi was properly cared for. We are so thankful for Chelsea, whom we never met before, and she made us feel so comfortable and at ease knowing that Nirobi was well taken care of. Nirobi was cared for in a very nice, warm, homely environment, not locked up in a cage at a facility with other barking dogs. My family and I highly recommend Chelsea for any pet parents, and we would not hesitate to ask Chelsea for help in the near future. Chelsea, my family, and I thank you for taking such great care of Nirobi.
