“Pugsley is always well cared for and happy! He gets along well with their dogs and family and makes himself at home! We are so very grateful for them and the good care he receives!”
“Victoria provided excellent care for our grand dog Frank while we took our holiday vacation to Calif. It was our first time using Rover and Victoria was the perfect fit! Frank is a chunky bulldog, but her texts and pictures updating us reassured us he was in trusted good hands. A big thank you to Victoria and her dog Artemis for your wonderful care!”
“Macee was fantastic! She cared for our dog like he was her own, kept us updated with adorable pictures and videos throughout his day and we know he had the best time! We really appreciated her great care!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my girls with Matt and Angel. They have the perfect set up for caring for dogs in their care. And I loved the very creative updates I received. Thank you again for taking such great care of my dogs!”
“Carmen is an amazing pet sitter and overall such a kind soul. Abbi had the absolute best time with her! She was spoiled to the gods during her stay and it was such a joy to see Abbi playing and enjoying herself in the updates. Carmen went above and beyond in her care for my girl and I am beyond grateful for her!”
“Wendy and her family were amazing to our Luna sending us pics and updates. She came home happy, healthy, and tuckered out after her 3 day stay. Home was beautiful and clean. What more can you ask for? 10/10!”
“I had a great experience with Sam and Jesse! They were prompt, respectful, and clearly had my dog’s best interests in mind the entire time. We'd recommend!”
“Kelly and her husband are a treasure! They were so gracious about accepting a boarding request that was very last minute and they were even more gracious about my activity running late. Both the dogs were very well taken care of, even the senior one who is a bit spoiled at home! They were relaxed and content when they got picked up. I would absolutely make use of Kelly’s services again and would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone I know. It’s can be nerve racking to leave your dogs with someone you don’t know, but Kelly instantly had me completely at ease. Not only is she a good dog sitter but, perhaps more importantly, you can tell she’s a good person. Excellent, smooth experience! Thanks Kelly!!”
“Mariah and Collin were great to leave our golden doodle with over the holiday weekend! We were able to schedule with little notice and were so happy that it was able to work out as we had a change in plans with where our pup was going. Mariah was great at sending pics and giving us updates each day, along with giving Marley the meds he needs. We are so glad we found them and will be excited to schedule with them again in the future!”
“Megan was amazing with our Luna for the two days she stayed with her. Plenty of pictures were sent with updates and Luna was seemingly out of energy from a great weekend! She even came back with a cute bow in her hair. We will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Cat and the family were fantastic! Toby had a blast hanging out with Kane and Barb, and Cat kept me posted and sent me lots of cute pics and vids throughout the trip. This was my first time boarding my pup, so I was a bit nervous, but I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“Stephanie is amazing. She takes very good notes on what your pet is experiencing everyday. She left us a sweet little bag of treats for him to enjoy when he got home. Her communication is timely. I am definitely having my baby stay with Stephanie again.”
“Omg!! Margaret was heaven sent! Our cousin didn’t answer his door to get our pup just 4 1/2 short hours before our flight boarded out of Stl. I ran to Rover and begged for a last minute board. Margaret graciously accepted Teddy into her home and took such good care of him. She was very communicative and kept me informed of how he was doing over this 3 day stay. Our flights were delayed by over 12 hours she was very flexible and allowed him to stay an extra day with no problem. If you are seeking a communicative, kind, nurturing and flexible board, I 10/10 recommend her!”
“Christine is so kind and communicates very well. She loved on my fur baby and sent daily updates with pictures. She has a warm home with a wonderful fenced in back yard. My dog loved his stay. I will definitely use her again.”
“Jennifer took great care of my energetic pup and I received daily photo updates! She let her run around with the other pups and spoiled her with lots of toys and treats. She even got her own stocking for the holidays!”
About: I have experience with large and giant breeds including Belgian Malinois, Husky, Labrador and Great Pyrenees. As I'm familiar with the needs of a big, high-energy dog (ones who are stubborn and get destructive if under-stimulated), I'm able to handle situations like pulling on the leash and giving them a structured environment. I have my own pup, a Great Pyrenees, and you can rest assured I will be treating your dog just as well, if not better, than my own. I am currently a homemaker, and will have all the time to devote to your pet. I will be available most hours of any day! I have an unfenced backyard (with stakes and a 30ft tether) that is by thick brush, perfect if your pet loves sniffing about. My neutered dog is friendly and will give your pet a warm welcome to our home. He has a very low prey drive and loves cats! He is very sweet and likes to lie on the floor, but is always down for a good time if initiated by the other pet.
“I feel like Amanda was welcoming for my dog Daphne. She allowed us to meet her and Frankie prior to dropping Daphne off for the first time. She texted back promptly every time I enquired about my dog. She was also very accommodating with the drop off and pick up time and she commented on how well behaved and sweet Daphne is. I would recommend Amanda's services and I will not hesitate to leave my fur baby with her again. ”
“Mary was such a friendly person and very welcoming! My pup had the best time and seemed to be right at home! Mary was very communicative and sent photos. Thank you again!”
