“Our dog seemed to love the farm life! They went for 3 mile hikes up the hill every day. Christina’s barn stays cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, so it felt very cool for our dog in the hot days. Based on her previous experiences, she does not mix dogs when their owners are not around, but our dog spent plenty of time around her family. She sent videos of our dog playing with people and kids as well. The kids loved him!”
“She sends of pics and updates of our fur baby the whole time our dog spends the night(s) and our dog loves to spend the night with her! Would 100% recommend her to anybody!!”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better experience for my first time using Rover. Michelle and her family were so kind and I can tell My dog enjoyed her stay. Looking forward to hiring Michelle again in the future.”
“I absolutely love Debbie and Adam. They took such great care of my chihuahua, Ozzie. I got lots of pictures sent to me and I could see both of them involved with loving care for him. They have two small dogs of their own and one of them shared her bed with Ozzie so he’d be happy! I highly recommend them and will definitely use them from now on.”
“Sarah was able to accommodate us at the last-minute and took great care of our Crusoe. Crusoe has separation anxiety but Sarah's friendly and caring nature helped to calm Crusoe upon drop-off. She took such great care of our little guy and I can tell that he enjoyed his time with Sarah and her family.”
“My dogs were well taken care of. They were happy puppies. Joni kept me updated on what they were doing while I was away. Thank you Joni for taking good care of my babies!”
“This was the 2nd time Nicole watched Pepper for me, this time it was for a couple of days. She takes such good care of him, treats him like he’s her own little guy. Nicole is amazing!”
“Prior to Hector’s week long stay with Maria, Hector had only been watched by family members who knew his quirks and favorites. Well….he now considers Maria “family!” As that is how he was treated during his stay. The photo updates were comforting to see him relaxing and enjoying himself. Quite honestly, it appeared as though he was still in his own home. Maria’s dogs quickly became friends and even shared his favorite resting spots. We have no hesitation to book Maria when our next travel is scheduled.”
“Bradley and their family took great care of Cooper for 4 weeks while we were away on vacation. She took care of Cooper as if he was her own baby boy. She responded immediately to any messages and questions. Cooper was very happy to be with their family and enjoyed his stay very much. We look forward to booking with them again in the future. By far the best sitter we’ve encountered for our Cooper.”
“Bryanna and her family took excellent care of our fur baby while we were away. She communicated and sent photo updates frequently, and most importantly, she treated our Ricky as if he was her own. She will be my go to from now own if we have any sitting needs.”
“Valerie did a fantastic job watching over our dog. She sent pictures and updates regularly and made it abundantly clear that she would do whatever it took to make our dog comfortable in her home. We plan to book with Valerie for all our future trips given how well she’s done.”
“Rachel and Mike provided an outstanding boarding experience for MY CAT, Fluffy. Awesome!!!! From the moment I left her in their care, I knew she was in the best hands. They consistently went above and beyond, making sure Fluffy received plenty of love, attention, and treats. What really set them apart was the thoughtful updates they provided—seeing pictures of Fluffy enjoying her stay brought us so much peace of mind. Rachel and Mike’s dedication to Fluffy’s comfort was truly remarkable. They even covered additional expenses to ensure she had everything she needed until we could settle up with them. 😉 Their genuine passion for pets is clear in every interaction, and it made a world of difference. If you’re searching for a reliable and caring pet boarding power couple, look no further than Rachel and Mike. They treated Fluffy like their own, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend them for anyone who wants the best for their furry family members!”
“Priyanka was great! She took gizmo last minute and was very accommodating. She has a dog of her own who is very friendly and playful and very nice and clean home. Definitely a place where you feel comfortable leaving your baby. She sent plenty of pictures and updates and overall it was a good experience. Gizmo told me he had a very lovely time!”
“A great service. Rover provided us with participating sitters in our area. Lisa put our minds at ease, as this was a first time for us to leave our boy with anyone. We were updated on our boy throughout the evening. Thank you.”
“Michelle was a great person for dodger. She took great care of him, he came home happy, and she frequently updated me with photos and texts about him. I will definitely use her again.”
About: I have had a dog in my life ever since I was a kid, and have loved and cared for them ever since. Always been like family to me. I will treat your dog the same, I assure you. I have volunteered at shelters in the past, as well as working at a doggie day care and have watched dogs on and off again also. Right now we live with an amazing mutt named Leslie who is 7. Right now I am in between things, so I am open to most days, especially sheltering at home as long as your dog is okay hanging with ours. At our home we have 1 dog, with a fenced in yard and walkable, friendly neighborhood. I will definitely spend as much time as I can with them, and do whatever you need. Like I said, I treat dogs like they're my good friends or family.
