Deborah was absolutely wonderful all the way around! I felt so comfortable leaving my big fur baby with her. She sent pictures and updates, and treated him like her own. I’m grateful he was able to play in a wide variety of settings, sleep comfortably, and even come home ready for a nap! This was my first time leaving him with someone, and I will absolutely come to Deborah first for the second time around. I feel comfortable using Rover as a whole starting out with such a positive experience. I would recommend her to anyone!

Erica was absolutely amazing! I cannot shout her praises more. Our goldendoodle is a bit of an anxious boy and he had the best time with her. She was very responsive and cares incredibly for the pups. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to my friends and family.

Brooke and her family were very sweet! I am so glad they were available last minute to watch our pup. Fozzie even whined in the car when we left, I can tell he enjoyed himself!!

Sami was so excited to go back to Lane‘s house! She was prancing and wagging her tail and whining as soon as we pulled in the driveway. Lane does an excellent job with her.

Michelle was so great at sharing pics so I could see how much our Brady enjoyed cuddling and being part of her family for Labor Day weekend. I would highly recommend her to watch your fur baby.

Rover newby here so everything was last minute but Beth was so accommodating and understanding. Woody took right up with her loving nature and made besties with Dodge and the others. She kept me informed all week and she was very quick in responding if I had a question. Definitely recommend. Thank you so much Beth. Woody will be back.

About: I have over four years of hands on experience working in a veterinary hospital, where I’ve cared for animals of all types, sizes, and temperaments. My background includes working with puppies and kittens, senior pets, and animals with special medical or behavioral needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, and providing gentle, attentive care—especially for geriatric and special-needs pets who require extra patience and understanding. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I work full time but I am able to leave for lunch and take care of your precious pets! If they need 24/7 care they can come with me to work and get to go outside as many times as they need. I have a front yard that is fenced and I am in walking distance to the dog park if that is something that your dog loves. At clients home I will stick to your pets normal routine.

Brittany has been great with my pups. I felt super comf with them staying with her and her family. It helps a lot that she has her pup with her, who's super extroverted and helped get my younger dog out of his shell. I strongly recommend her! I'm just bummed that she's moving away from me 😞

About: I have been caring for other families animals since I was 10! I have always had a passion for all animals. We have had dogs in the home and outside since I was 5! I am also a huge advocate of rescues and experienced with all breeds! I work from home and I have a pretty flexible schedule.

Karyssa & Michael provided a 10/10 stay for Meijor! I needed someone on a last minute notice to watch him and they were there for me. Karyssa was very nice and accommodating! She gave Meijor plenty of attention and play time throughout the day. What I appreciated most Maryssa was the constant pictures and updates throughout Meijor’s stay. Whether it was after a walk or play time she kept us up to date on how he was doing. She really treated Meijor like her own! Will 100% be using them again and would recommend them to anyone!
