“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!”


About: I have owned and fostered countless dogs in my home. Ive done Everything from senior care to delivering puppies and kittens. I can even bottle feed. I was also a veterinary assistant for 1.5 years. I can pretty much board anytime. However, we do have dogs of our own so they must be dog friendly if you board in our home. I'm also available to walk dogs. I have a fenced yard and other pups for your dog to play with. I can crate your dog if needed. I can bathe and clip nails if needed.

“James & Kathy took great care of our 2 dogs. We got updates and pictures which really put us at ease. They are professional, compassionate and really know dogs! We will definitely book with them again.”


“Sharon has experience and a great attitude which made my pup’s stay a breeze! She’s prepared to keep your pup safe and well attended which my guy needs. Her two puppers are darling and made for a fun vacation for my dog while I had my own vacation! Highly recommended!”


“Miranda & her husband took great care of our dog while we were gone for 6 days. She sent us updates which were appreciated. Recommend booking with Miranda & will use her again in the future.”


“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.”


About: I have had animals in my life since I was six months old and have helped care for them since I can remember. I've been married to my husband for 33 years and we have had cats, dogs, ferrets, and fish that. We are empty nesters so our complete focus is on our dogs and your dogs when they come to join our pack. I just retired so I am home all day everyday except when I have appointments. My husband Dan is also retired. So we have all kinds of time to care for your pet. Meet the team! My name is Ruth and I'm the female human in the house and my Dan is the male human in the house. Then comes Maisy, our 6 year old toy aussiedoodle, followed by her two year old half sister Gertie, our mini aussiedoodle. Maisy is more laid back and she gets along with other laid back dogs preferably. Gertie on the other hand loves all people and all dogs. I will treat your dog like our own under our care. We offer leashed walks in our dog friendly neighborhood, belly rubs, playing fetch and generally chasing each other around in fun. My house is more the dogs home than ours - where they have furniture privileges except the tables. If they are staying the night, they will be allowed to stay in our bed or we can crate as upon preference.


“Mia and Luna had a great week! I can tell because they have slept for the past 24 hours since they have been home! Britney has been wonderful to work with and so accommodating for my “anxious” dogs! I will definitely re-book!”



“Fantastic! Amanda looked after my dog during an extended vacation. Amanda kept us updated and my dog had a wonderful time with her. Thank you, Amanda, for caring for Lily so well.”

“Cale and his Dad were phenomenal! This was the first time I have ever had to board my dog before and I was extremely nervous to do so. They were so reassuring and walked me through the entire process. I loved that I could bring Junipers toys, bed and blanket with her and they were able to give Juniper her daily meds. She was so happy, and calm when I picked her up and I loved the daily pupdates. I now feel very comfortable being able to leave her on longer vacations as I know she will be well looked after!”

“Sarah and Brendan were so amazing for Montys first ever stay away! We were nervous leaving him anywhere, mostly because he can be a lot of energy. They handled him very well, as well as their own dog Jasper. Monty had plenty of play and run time but also some relaxing. He was definitely pooped after the visit, in the best ways. They would send multiple pictures each day and were always so responsive. We definitely plan to use Brendan and Sarah in the future (if they’ll have Monty, of course)! Thanks again. Highly recommend! Proximity to the airport is just an added bonus!”

Elyria pet parents share their Rover experiences
Paige was great. Kept us updated the whole time with pictures and massages. This was our first time using Rover and it was a great experience all around. Maggie is a large puppy so having a host with caring experience and other dogs was a major plus and Paige knocked it out of the park.

Struck gold finding Britanny. It was Theo’s first time boarding away from home so I missed him a lot but she sent picture mail the entire time. He’s only 14 weeks old and she got him playing with all the big dogs. He had a blast and you could tell he didn’t want her to leave when she dropped him off haha. Sooo sweet! Britanny is def our girl now!
