Fabulous stay for our Morgan! She has enjoyed the life of luxury while we were on vacation. Lauren has been fabulous with daily photos videos and updates. The outdoor yard space is a wonderful bonus. We will stay again sometime for sure!

Tricia is the best! Our dog was having some bladder issues we didn’t know about and she was very patient and caring for him. We have used her a few times and will keep going back.

About: I have been pet sitting since I was in high school. I have experience in dog walking, watching pets at my home or theirs, and volunteering at local shelters. I'm currently working full time, so I am available nights and weekends to board your pet. This is to ensure that I can give your pet the attention they deserve! I have a huge fenced in yard and also 5 dogs of my own, so your pet will surely get lots of love and exercise at my home!

Our little guy seemed happy at Stephanie's house! The family was very nice, and their house is tucked in a cul-de-sac away from busy roads. We got updates and/or pictures most days, and Stephanie was always timely in her responses to any messages I sent her. We plan to use her again!

We were really happy with the care Kodiak received during her stay. We loved the picture updates and hearing what she was up to while we were gone. Kodi came home much more relaxed than she ever has after staying at the kennel. Thanks for taking care of our girl! We will definitely look to book again for future care.

Jenna took excellent care of our 10 month old golden retrieve Coco. She and her family welcomed Coco into their home and provided the care and attention Coco needs. Jenna even sent texts and photos which reassured us Coco was doing well. We never like to leave Coco at a kennel when we go out of town. She is confined in a kennel with limited attention. It is good to know we have a wonderful home where Coco is welcomed and will receive loving individual care and attention thanks to Jenna. Debbie R

Kelti & Tanner are awesome! They are committed to accommodating you and your pet in all ways possible (incl. waking up to feed your dog at 5:30 AM/6 AM on weekends) If you're like me, then you are anxious whenever you have to leave your pet. While my big boy (Koda, a 78-pound yellow/white labrador retriever) stayed with with Kelti & Tanner, I knew I had nothing to worry about. That peace of mind is priceless.

We just had our first experience with Roover and booking through Debbie, and I have to say, it was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we reached out until we picked up our furry babies, I was impressed. Debbie was super responsive—almost right away! We received regular updates and adorable pictures of our kids, which made us feel so confident that they were in great hands. I think they may have even been a little spoiled enjoying the beautiful fenced yard! I can’t recommend Debbie and her husband enough, and we’ll definitely be booking again!

This was my Cherrys very first time staying with a sitter, so naturally, we were a bit anxious about how things would go. But from the very beginning, Ryan was incredibly patient, understanding, and flexible. He took the time to make sure both my dog and I felt comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. I’m so grateful for how smoothly everything went. Highly recommend—especially if you’re a first-time dog parent looking for someone you can really trust!

Michelle was an excellent dog sitter. We knew Cookie was in safe hands while we enjoyed some Fall camping. When I got back into cell phone service on Sunday I was greeted with dozens of pictures of Cookie having fun and going for walks. He got a bath as well, and smells lovely. :-)

Matthew was amazing. I’ve only had Oakley for two weeks and am still getting to know his habits, on top of the fact that he is already 85 lbs, but none of that bothered Matthew. He sent daily pictures and confirmed that all was going well. He is very relaxed and Oakley got along very well with his three dogs. Matthew has a very large backyard and a 100’ lead that was great for Oakley since he loves to just lay outside. I highly recommend Matthew and will be using him again.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and truly believe they are part of the family. I look forward to caring for pets other than my own and getting to know their unique personality. Reliable and happy to step in when you need an extra hand. I am currently taking some time off and will have a clear schedule for play time and walks at anytime during the week and holidays. I have a large fenced back yard with one dog (a lovable 5 year old chocolate lab). Pets are allowed on furniture but happy to crate if you prefer.

Lauren is AMAZING! We could tell from the meet and greet that she is a true dog lover and Newton would be happy staying with her. At Lauren’s, he was well cared for and given lots of love. We got a bunch of pictures, which eases my nerves when we’re away on a trip. I could tell he was happy and comfortable because when we picked him up, he was laying on the front porch by her feet happy as can be. Will definitely be booking again!!
