“Allison was great, she took really good care of our pets, she came to the house and was really respectful, everything was clean and organized. I am thankful I found her.”


“We just love Ms. Pat, and so does our little one! I feel so comfortable leaving our dog with Ms. Pat because she treats him like he’s a member of her family (just like we do). Thanks again Ms. Pat!!”


“I received photos and videos every day! Both Havoc and Jelly Beans were spoiled!!! Erin was the BIGGEST lifesaver as my original dog sitter backed out a week prior to an Air Force TDY. I cannot thank her enough! ?”


“Bobbie Jo is wonderful pet sitter! She sent me picture updates each day, and my dog, Penny, had so much fun with her dogs that she didn’t want to leave when I came to pick her up.”


“Dawn is absolutely wonderful! Our dog boarded with her for the first time during Thanksgiving, and we couldn’t have been happier. She was friendly, easy to communicate with, sent us updates and pictures each day, and made us feel confident our dog was in great hands. I 100% recommend Dawn, and we will happily rebook with her again in the future!”


“I couldn’t be happier to find Lori. She is so compassionate and treated my baby like her very own. This was the first time I had left my 2.5 year old Bichon and she was just one of the family for four days! She loved having a playmate, Chewie is a sweetheart and gets along so well with others. She kept me updated and sent pictures several times a day which put this mama at ease. I can’t recommend her highly enough. You will be so happy with Lori, she’s awesome!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


“Reyna and her family took amazing care of our pup! He loves to run and they had plenty of space for that. Our return flight got delayed and Reyna was very accommodating to take him another night for us. Our pup came home tired and happy:)”


About: I have been around all kinds of animals my entire life, especially dogs. I have been around all ages of dogs and currently have two Australian Shepherd border collie mixes. I worked for two years at a dog daycare, boarding and training facility. Although I am not a dog trainer, I did work with a couple of dogs with the trainers as helpers. I have worked with all kinds of dogs, aggressive dogs, particular dogs, scared dogs and can confidently say I up for a challenge. I am also a mom so nothing can gross me out! If you were looking to do anything at my house, I do have like I said two of my own dogs as well as a daughter under a year old I accept only one- two dogs at a time for my house, but my dogs are super friendly and I actually used them as introduction dogs at the daycare I worked at. Our front yard is not fenced in, but I do have a fenced in pen where I let them do the majority of their bathroom breaks and then I take them on walks through throughout the property. I am currently working part-time because I am a Mom and can only work on the weekends maybe occasionally during the week. My goal is to create a tight schedule that way we have no conflicts. Depending on your dog and the training that you guys have in place, I can help Help with a number of things. If we need to work on keeping them in the crate or keeping them out of the crate, or doing leash walks. I can do little drop in daycare sessions where we play outside. It really depends on what your dog needs, and what the limitations there are.


“I can't say enough nice things about Yuwadee. She's such an amazing person who is patient and understanding and truly loves what she does. Dexter always has a fantastic time running and playing so much so when he comes home I think he misses being there. We will forever let Dexter stay there I couldn't imagine him being happy anywhere else.”


“Best place for dog boarding ! We had an awesome experience with Lena's family. They took care of my dog as their family. My dog having great time during these dates. I will definitely ask her to take care of our dog again. Highly recommend Lena! Thank you very much for love and care to Tico. He will miss you all. Have a good day.”



“I have small dogs and they do NOT do well when boarded. I met Piper and her family and couldn't believe how they embraced my girls as if they were theirs. My littlest one's (4# poodle) feet never touched the ground the whole time we were gone. Every picture had her in someone's arms or lap. My other girl (10# Shih Tzu) who is afraid of everything and every one, warmed up to Piper and really strutted her stuff on the mile walks everyday! I can't say enough good things about Piper and her family. She made me feel as if a friend was caring for my girls. I don't know why we didn't do this sooner. If Piper is willing to take on my girls again, we will definitely be calling her! ”


“Patrisha took great care of Mocha during an unexpected last minute trip out of town. She was very responsive in her texts and sent updates (pics) daily. Mocha seemed to have a great time! Thank you!”


“I don’t even know where to begin. This was my first time using rover & my first time leaving my dog with a stranger…. That quickly changed because I feel like Shawna is now family. Shawna had me bring my dog about a week before to see if the vibe fit and the love was undeniable. Her and her husband welcomed my dog Phoebe with open arms and I instantly felt comfortable. I had some anxiety before my trip and she went above and beyond to ease my mind. I got daily check ins and photos and videos of my dog. My dog is very high maintenance and can’t be around any other pets which was a perfect fit to stay at her house. I cannot recommend Shawna enough I would trust her to watch any pet. I even joked that when I have a human baby I would try and still book her through rover. Thank you for the amazing experience.”


“Angie is the absolute best! I brought my two dogs for a meet and greet before their stay and she answered all my questions and made me feel at ease. She has a lovely home and yard and you can tell how much she cares about dogs. I was nervous as I've never boarded before. One of my dogs is very nervous in new situations. Angie sent daily updates and pics text ands assured me he was doing great. And he was! Both my babies were comfortable, loved, exercised, and treated as part of the family. Angie is professional, kind, accommodating, and gentle. When I picked them up they were happy and worn out! Lots of play! We drove almost an hour out of the way to leave them with her. We will do it again! Look no further! ”


“Keira was amazing!! She let me know as soon as she got to my house, and sent pics!! She kept me up to date on my puppies which was huge comfort. She also let me know when she was leaving and locked up! Highly recommend her.”


“Our little Morkie, Molly, has stayed with Esmeralda multiple times. Each time, Molly has had a full play day with Esmeralda's little furbabies. Molly is content, happy and safe when she visits Esmeralda. We always receive photos and updates throughout the day. We will continue our visits to Esmeralda whenever we are in town and visiting the Blue Rideg area and need a sitter.”


“Monika was amazing with Buddy. Will definitely use again. She was very helpful, sent videos, very quick to respond , and truly cared about Buddy. I was nervous at first because Bud has only stayed with family. She put me at ease as soon as we met her and her precious dogs.”


“My dogs were all smiles while hanging out with Tiffany and her sweet family! They were clearly well taken care of and loved on throughout their stay - and were probably sad to leave their new friends! Everything was great from the meet and greet through the stay. Tiffany is a great communicator and very friendly. We hope to book again on our next trip! 👍👍”


“Lendsey was wonderful. She treated our boys (two 11 year old Shih Tzus) like her own. They even slept in the bed with her!!! We will definitely be back!”


“This is our 2nd experience with Lynn watching our fur baby, Hank! I can't say enough good things about the care he receives ❤️ She sends frequent photos of him playing with friends and doesn't hesitate to reach out if she has a question. I'll never use anyone else.... Please give her a try!”
