Dog Boarding Empire

“Katrina was GREAT! We were a little worried because we'd not gotten a chance to meet her before we got into town and we were 8 hours away from home but as soon as we met her we knew that she'd take great care of the dogs. She has two smaller dogs of her own that she kept separate from ours while we were there, but by the time we picked Hope and Lou up a few days later everyone was hanging out together. She was quick to update when I checked in on the dogs, but really, I felt comfortable enough that I only texted twice. I would absolutely leave them with her again when I'm back in the area.”

“Wendy was lovely and accommodating to our seemingly ever changing schedule for drop off and pick up as our travel plans changed. We also really appreciated the regular videos and pictures. Wendy really went above and beyond to take care of Maya and I won’t hesitate to recommend her to other pet owners wanting personal and attentive care for their furry children 😊”

“My dog seemed happy and comfortable when I picked her up. I also appreciated Chelsey being available on short notice when unexpected travel came up. Overall, it was a good experience.”

“Autumn is fabulous!!! She remained in touch with us during our entire trip. She sent pictures and videos regularly. Cocoa couldn’t have been in better hands. Autumn and her family treated Cocoa very well. At pick-up, Cocoa was excited to see us, but she also appeared sad to leave Autumn. We are 100% pleased with Autumn’s care, and we will definitely trust her with Cocoa in the future!!!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels since I was young. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and giving medications if needed. I always make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I make sure I never overbook myself so every dog gets the attention they deserve. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I prioritize it in my weekly routine and stay consistent with walks, feedings, and playtime. I always follow each pet’s routine closely, whether I’m in my client’s home or mine. I stick to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I keep their space clean, safe, and calm, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m also happy to send updates so you always know your pet is doing well.

“Heidi, her husband and four kids were great with our 13 yr old and 3 yr old rescues! They got along fantastic with Heidi’s 2 black labs and our 3 yr old rescue really didn’t want to leave her new buddies, Zoe & Lucy..Very nice kids and the fenced in yard made us feel that more comfortable. You won’t be sorry having Heidi and her fam take care of your pooch! Pat S”

“Milissa provided lucky with the best care. You can tell she has a true passion and care for animals. I am always a little scared to leave my dog behind but Milissa was responsive and kept me up to date on all of his activities even shared photos. When I picked him up he was a very happy dog. Highly recommend, she has a great fenced in yard with plenty of room for them to run around and enjoy a beautiful day.”

“Rocky very much enjoyed his stay. Loved playing with the other dogs. Got pictures and videos of him having a great time! Would definitely recommend Nick and Marissa for a safe environment. Will definitely use them again”

“Esmirna was great, and Loof loved his stay with her. We would definitely recommend her to sit your fur baby. We will definitely be using her help again the next time we travel.”

“Jackie and Ashleigh provided exceptional care to our fur babies. They were even flexible enough to watch our Rottweiler (Otis sister) so that they could stay together while we were away on vacation. They were extremely attentive and awesome communicators. Pictures were sent daily, and it was clear that they were having a blast. Thank you for everything Jackie and Ashleigh! We would definitely have you watch our fur babies again 🤗”

“Kate (and her family) are wonderful! From the moment I contacted her, Kate impressed me with her genuine caring and interest in my Benji. He has a medical condition - Cushing's Disease, which requires meds to be given on schedule 3x a day, and more potty breaks than a well pup would require. Her lifetime of experience and ease with animals was obvious from the moment we met. Benji's comfort and confidence with Kate, her family and their home, was immediate. As someone who had been nervous about leaving my buddy prior to meeting Kate, I wound up feeling very confident and comfortable leaving him with her! Kate was fantastic with Benji! She sent me photos each day, which allowed me to see his activities and how much fun he was having on his vacation! She also kept me informed of how he was doing overall, with his meds, and didn't hesitate to ask questions or let me know about any concerns that she had - I so appreciate these interactions! Kate is an awesome sitter and person, and I recommend her with all of my heart! She took wonderful care of my Benji, and I know that he's looking forward to his next vacation with her! Thank you so much Kate and family!!!”

“This was our first time using Rover and Kyle was amazing. Having had our rescue dog for just 3 months, I wasn’t sure how the overnight boarding would go. He gave our Bugsy all the attention he needed to feel secure. He even sent pictures capturing Bugsy’s sleepover fun! I would definitely recommend him.”

Deana T.

“Just concluded our first stay with Danielle. More happy with this stay than any other I have booked previously with other sitters through Rover. I got pics, videos, and updates multiple times each day. I could tell the way my girl ran around the house when I got there that she was comfortable with her surroundings and I witnessed her loving to play with Danielle's dogs and sons. Peach looked great and healthy and was very happy when I picked her up.”

About: I have been a dog owner since I was very little. I am part of the cross country team and I love to run especially when I have company of an animal. I feed, water, clean poop and pee, and also walk dogs. I have dog walked before and also dog sat. I’m a natural with dogs. love dogs with a passion. I have watched many of my family friends dogs. I am a very active and outdoorsy person. Rain or sun I will show up and take any dog out for a bit of fresh air. I walk and run dogs of all ages, breeds and size. I’m an easy go with the flow person and am okay with schedule changes. Lastly, I have grown up with dogs and have a precious labradoodle of my own. I love dogs!

About: My wife Christa and I both enjoy pets, so we use this app and wag to book walks and occasional pet sittings. We love long walks of 2-3 miles and enjoy walking with dogs since we are out anyways. We have walked over 100 dogs on the wag app and have a 5 star rating. We do this for fun really! We used to have dogs but now we just spoil other dogs. I walk dogs part time and when I am free. I am available in the evenings or weekends and don't mind a little travel to get to your pet. I typically don't board pets in my home, but have watched pets in Pet Parents homes when needed. My preference is walks only but I will watch if needed.
