“Nikki accepted our pup at the last minute, was flexible on drop off & pickup, and was very communicative and sent pictures throughout Molly’s stay! She was so friendly and kind. We’d definitely use her again.”
“Porter absolutely loved Ben and his dog Melvin! Ben regularly updated me with pictures and administered medication that Porter needed. I really appreciated how attentive was! I plan to rebook him later this month!”
“Dawn and her family provided a comforting setting for our dog Astro. He was the only client they had for the stay which to us is just what he likes. He’s not much a social one, but tolerates well with other dogs if he has to! They paid Astro lots of attention when he needed it. Kept us up to date on anything that was important to tell us and sent pictures to show us he’s doing well! He’s pretty easy to take care of and not a trouble maker for anybody and he knew he was in good hands! Also, we liked that Dawn has a fenced in backyard! Big plus! Thanks again! Mike and Liz”
“She was very nice. She responded very fast and sent lots of pictures. She gave updates everyday and let me know how everything was going. Would definitely book with her again”
“Christina was excellent!!! She took great care of our 8 yr old dog while we were away for a summer vacay and was kind enough to send daily updates and pictures of our fur baby. She was very quick with her responses from our first messages about sitting to our meet and greet and while we were away…which I truly appreciated! Yoshi is a picky eater and she was able to get to him eat and also take his nightly meds. She and her other pets welcomed Yoshi into her home and treated him like one of her own. We would definitely book again with Christina again! 😊”
“Willow had a great time! Laura took great care of her and sent a photo every day. She got along well with Diesel, and she ate all her food, which means she was very comfortable at Laura’s house. Knowing she was doing well allowed us to enjoy our vacation more. We will definitely book Laura again!”
“Definitely the beginning of a beautiful partnership. I’m so grateful to have found someone who takes such wonderful care of my puppy. The updates and photos gave me peace of mind, and I look forward to booking with you again.”
About: I have had dogs of my own since I was 9 years old. I LOVE dogs--especially small ones! I have trained all of my dogs. I board friends' dogs in my home all the time, and am now excited to move into boarding strangers' dogs here on Rover! I work full-time, a mix of in-office and at home. I work from home on Thursdays and have flexibility on Fridays, so it works best for me to be able to provide boarding on long weekends (Thursday-Sunday). I am happy to provide your pet with seamless care and match what they are used to in your home. I have a large yard and a quiet neighborhood. My home has many rooms and I have some gates so that I can separate pets if needed. I also have a puppy play pen for smaller/younger pups who need their own space.
“We had a great experience with Kimberly. She was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive to our puppy. She was very responsive to messages. We could tell our puppy was well cared for and loved. We will definitely book with her again.”
“This is my first time ever doing something like this and I wasn’t sure how my dog Mila would react. Doreen contacted me back so quickly even though my trip was last minute. Mila loved Doreen and took great care of her, while also giving me updates and pictures. I will definitely be using Doreen every time.”
About: I welcome your fur babies to play with our own dogs in our home and fenced in backyard for plenty of room for playtime. A lot of doggie play dates with neighbors dogs too. Have experience with young and senior pets of our own. I foster dogs as well with Rescue Gang and after adopted honored to have several come back here for us to babysit. So much love be to shared and our own dogs are very welcoming! I work from home and ready to spoil your dogs. Pretty open schedule to help accommodate your needs at our loving, playful home. Lots of potty breaks for your fur babies and playtime. I have a fenced in yard and can run around and play with our own dogs who are very friendly. They will get lots of cuddles and welcome anywhere in our home. Can’t wait to spoil your doggie like we do for our own!
“Julia and Colin were great! They communicated well and even met Toast before boarding! We received a lot of pictures where our dog was smiling and having a good time with them. We will definitely book again!”
“Jennifer was very friendly and receptive to everything. I had to tell her about Kona. She kept me updated with pictures and let me feel confident that she was well taken care of They had two dogs that were very friendly with Kona.”
“Gabriel took excellent care of my dog while I was away. I appreciated being updated with frequent pictures throughout the day. I highly recommend Gabriel and I would definitely have him watch my dog again.”
“Kim is the BEST dog sitter....period. My dog, Georgia, gets to take lots of walks, play in the fenced yard, and spend quality time on the couch with Kim's dog, but the biggest thing for me is that I TRUST that she is safe and cared for so that I can go away and enjoy myself without worrying about her. THANK YOU, KIM!”
“Amanda was amazing and accommodating with drop off and pickup. She took the time to really get to know all the details with Rusty and his habbits. She gave updates and pictures. Rusty had a great time and was a sad to leave. 13/10 recommend.”
“Rebecca was wonderful with my dog Aspen. She was responsive and easy to communicate with, sent updates and photos, and took great care of my dog during her overnight stay. Thank you, Rebecca!”
“Jennifer boarded our golden doodle, Scout, for a full week while our family was on spring break and did a fabulous job! We were all a bit nervous and sad to leave our pup, but we could easily see that Jennifer was very caring, tuned into our dogs routines and needs and all around easy to work with. It was easy to set up a "meet and greet" with Jennifer, and we really liked that she only takes one dog at a time (since our pup is pretty chill and prefers humans to being around lots of other dogs). Best of all, she was very communicative from the beginning, Aside from the "meet & greet" and the smooth booking, when we were gone she communicated daily with a picture and an update on how Scout was doing. Our whole family looked forward to those updates and it really did help us feel good to see our dog doing well in our absence. We will definitely be using Jennifer again!”
“Angela was a fabulous sitter - we will definitely leave our dogs in her care in the future. She was eager to meet them in advance of watching them and flexible with that timing. She was also willing to work around some logistics with a family member dropping off our dogs at her place, which was very helpful. While we were gone, she was communicative and sent photos. We appreciated receiving her updates. We were were very pleased to come home to happy dogs. I highly recommend Angela!”
“My dog absolutely loves Kandice. She was amazing. She’s had my dog for boarding for 3 weeks and I’ve been able to pick my dog up and play with her and drop her back off after. Very accommodating and loves and cares for my dog like her own!”

Tracy was really amazing with my dog Lady. She sent plenty of pictures and videos showing Lady having a great time while in her care. Tracy went above and beyond and accommodated a last minute extension and kept Lady two extra days for me. I would definitely book with Tracy again.
Wilco couldn’t tell us about his week with Nicole, Mirrah, and the family, but his body language clearly said, “I can vacation here anytime!” His GPS and activity collar (something like a fitbit) showed a history of playtime and exercise levels comparable to what he has with us. Nicole’s frequent update pix may have exposed some pampering above and beyond home. It was a worry-free experience for us and an overall good time for Wilco.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Elm Grove home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
