“Reyna was amazing! Her and her family were the sweetest and made my dog feel like family. She sent photos and videos and he had the best time! They went on adventures and definitely had an abundance of play time! She’s very communicative and we even had a meet and greet before hand to ensure everyone’s comfort before boarding. Highly recommend Reyna!”
“I am so impressed with Julie and Michael and their big farm (15 acres). It is all fenced in and they have goats, a pig, some horses, chickens and two beautiful dogs (doodles). Wish Charlie Brown and Lucy could talk and tell me all about their adventures Julie sent pictures and answered my anxious questions. I will definitely use them again. Thank you!!!”
“Max had a great time at Pats place. Her place is very organized and she made sure Max was comfortable with meet and greets of the other dogs that would be with him during his stay. We were coming in from out of town and her communication always prompt and friendly. I highly recommend Pat and would use her again if ever back in that area.”
“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.”
“Erin was amazing!! She sent me updated photos of Bentley everyday! Great communication, Bentley instantly loved her the moment I dropped him off. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was in good hands! Highly recommend Erin, she will take care and love on your dog like they are her own! Thank you, Erin!”
“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!”
“Angie was just as sweet as she can be! I was very nervous and scared of leaving Bella but Angie made me feel so much better about leaving her. She would keep me updated all the time and send me pictures of my furry baby. Bella looked like she was super relaxed and was loving on Angie. I'll definitely recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.. Bella will be staying with Angie again very soon :)”
“Creed loved his time with Monika and Stella! He did all his favorite things, dog park, treats and play time all day long. Creed is a very high energy dog and Monika handle all of it with no issue. Will 100% use Monika again.”
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’m usually free throughout the week and weekend. I do have a young child so I have appointments for her and such but not much else. 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 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!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I felt Yuwadee was wonderful with my dog. She sent picture updates and is a kind, loving, dog owner herself. She met with me before watching my dog which made me feel confident in my choice. I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook with her.”
“Stephanie was amazing!! I had adopted a pup earlier than expected and was nervous about leaving him soon after getting him, but Stephanie made me feel comfortable and gave me peace of mind. She sent pictures and updates all five days I was out of state and answered all my questions. Her space is clean and dog-proof, and I felt my pup was safely cared for throughout his stay. I will 100% use her services again in the future!!”
