“Tiffany was absolutely amazing. She took me in last minute and cared for my dog very well. She was very sweet and understanding with what my dog needed. She sent me updates on my dog throughout the whole weekend. I’d definitely come back again.”
“Our Lab Tango had a great time staying with Bethany for a week while we were on vacation! This was our first time using Rover and are both very happy with the experience. She was very accommodating with our schedule since we missed our flight connection coming home. She sent us photos every day as an update and Tango came home very tired from all the exercise he got. We will definitely use her services again and are happy to have a place we can trust while we leave for vacations. ”

“Thank you Cale for taking such great care of King and Star! I appreciate the daily photos and updates to let me know how the day went. I also appreciate all the love and care that you provided to my dogs while I was away.”
“Highly recommend. They have a beautiful home with a nice, spacious backyard. Marianne and Josh are kind and have a lot of experience with dogs. With two sweet dogs of their own, my dog had built in companions while I was away. They are warm, welcoming, and sent lots of cute/funny pics & updates. Your dogs will be loved open arms. So grateful my dog could spend the holiday with such a thoughtful, warm, and fun family! Thank you so much for loving Chai!”

“Kevin took excellent care of our pups! He was very communicative, provided lots of pics and videos, and made sure they were safe and taken care of. It's clear he treated them like his own. We highly recommend him for your dog care!”

About: I am new to Rover, but have worked in the Animal Health Industry as a Veterinarian Technician (animal nurse) and outside sales/customer service for the past 30+ years. Along with the background check Rover provides, I also have a Business License and I am Insured/Bonded. Animal care is my only business/job. I have experience with most animals from reptiles to cattle and currently have a little 5 acre hobby farm with a horse, goats, chickens, dog and cat. I am very flexible with days you need pet care. My days are filled with animal care of my own/yours, walking/hiking, gardening and home/property projects. Your pets will be treated with great care while spending time with me. I have a gated 5 acre hobby farm with 1/2 acre fully fenced area around my home. My farm animals are fenced in separately for safety. I also have 3 acres of wooded trails/not fenced for leash walking. I am able to provide care and exercise depending on your pets needs and will only accept dogs that are not aggressive towards people or other dogs for a positive/fun experience. I have giant wire crates/bedding for night sleeping/feeding and can take up to 3 dogs. I would prefer same family, but may be some overlap with scheduling. Otherwise they will be spending time with me in my home and on my property. There are two large porches for either sunning or shade. I also have air conditioning. Please be up to date on vaccinations (including kennel cough), worming and monthly flea control. I live in a quiet/peaceful valley. Please no excessive barkers and bring their food, treats and special toys. If you have an older/well trained dog that would be happy sleeping in a dog bed at night, I can be accommodating. Especially, if I have no other dogs boarding here. Must have been crate trained at some point in their life. Waking up in the am to an intact couch is nice! 😊 Please allow enough time for a 1st time meet and greet prior to finalizing the booking. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family!
“Absolutely fantastic! We were in a crunch and had to leave within an hour and return the next day and needed a sitter for our Pug, Milkshake. Tonya was super fast in responding and setting us up to bring Milkshake over. She updated us frequently on Milkshakes silly antics and was very thoughtful with her details. I’m also an animal caretaker and vet tech and would recommend Tonya to everyone! ♥️”
“Once again, an incredible experience with Pam. unforeseen circumstances had to cut short Pam’s ability to watch my dog Ralph, but she arranged another dog sitter and brought Ralph to them and hung out to make sure he was comfortable. Pam cares for your pet like they’re her own. The pet sitter she found was also amazing and I’m so grateful for both of them.”
“People say they love animals, but not everyone truly does! I believe Kimberly truly loves animals. I feel she treated my puppies like they were hers. I am fairly new to leaving my girls with a sitter, Kimberly put my mind at ease. She sent a lot of updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. I will have Kimberly watch Thelma and Louise anytime I need a sitter again.”
