“We can't say enough about Margaret and the care she took of our beloved dog, Maisy. She sent many updates wih great pictures and we felt so comfortable that we had left our dog , for only the second time, in he care. Her dog and cat were also so welcoming to our dog which made her first experience with other pets a great one. We highly recommend Margaret to take wonderful care of your dog too.”

“Michael has been so wonderful with our Tiny Tim. Tiny loves going over to Michael’s house when we have something going on for the day. We will always use Michael as long as he still in the business.”
“Michele saved my life, I always take my dog everywhere but for obvious reasons I couldn't go to Cedar Point. I contacted her and she quickly said yes. She walked her and took care of her until the afternoon. She sent me photos so I could check her status with my dog. Highly recommended. Thanks Michele.”
“Very happy with Michelle’s communication and how she treated our pup like he was part of their family. She kindly accommodated a meet-and-greet to make sure it was a good match. She sent occasional cute photos and assured us that he was doing well. We will be rebooking with Michelle next time we need a sitter.”
“Robert watched Mia at his house overnight for a few nights. He has a great fenced in backyard, perfect for our pup to run and stretch her legs. Mia came back happy and tired out from her running vacation ? We would definitely use Robert again!”
“Ralph was great! He’s friendly and fun and you can tell he genuinely loves dogs. Howie spent 5 nights at his house. Ralph always kept us updated and sent lots photos all day every day. Howie was spoiled with a giant backyard, lots of cuddling, treats and other pups to play with. We will definitely use Ralph again!!”
“I was a first time boarder and very worried about my rescue, very spoiled bichon poo, that only likes me. I took a chance on Annie and she was perfect! She was so patient with our boy. She sent me videos and photos during the 9 days and even made up the fresh chicken, kibble combo he eats. He loved her dog Cooper and I think really missed him when we got home. I will definitely be calling Annie again!”
“Amanda was amazing, kept me posted all the time about Loki and send me pictures of him so I could see how he was doing. He was definitely being loved amd spoiled like if he was home with me. Very glad I found her for Loki's care while I was away.”

Elyria dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had such a great experience with Megan! She took amazing care of Romeo and Athena while we were away. She sent us tons of photos and updates throughout the stay, which made us feel so much more comfortable and connected to them. She took them on many walks, played with them a lot, and really treated them with care and attention. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and pays attention to their personalities and needs. Both dogs came back happy, relaxed, and very well cared for. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter 😊
