“Henry and Cheryle were fantastic hosts for my pomeranian Oslo. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for attentive, caring sitters. They went above and beyond to make Oslo's stay comfortable and fun. They have a fantastic and safe home with a big yard. Oslo got plenty of exercise, and they were mindful of the summer heat. They provide a very clean and dog-friendly environment, both inside and out. They sent pictures every day, as well as text updates on Oslo's status. He seemed very happy in every single picture! Oslo really loves Henry and Cheryle after just one visit. Oslo is a high energy dog and needs a lot of attention, and they provided it. I would absolutely recommend Henry and Cheryle, and I will be booking with them again!”


“Stella has now visited Elizabeth’s farm on multiple occasions and has an absolutely wonderful time. In each instance, Elizabeth took such great care of her, provided regular updates, and was very flexible/understanding with our uncertain schedules! I’m sure Stella looks forward to seeing them again <3”


“Poppy had such a good time visiting Angela. Tons of pictures throughout my trip. Caring and compassionate for my anxious and energetic pup. Definitely recommend and will book again for future sits ❤️”


“Walt kept our boy, Teddi, for four days. Teddi is a 3 yo intact English Shepherd who has never spent a night away from us. Teddi is a very well behaved and friendly boy but we were a bit anxious how this would go. Walt kept us well informed on how Teddi was doing. Walt gave Teddi great care and a lot of attention. When we returned to pick up Teddi, it was obvious that he and Teddy had bonded very well. We are very pleased with the care that Walt provided and will certainly use him again.”


“Linda and David were absolutely wonderful to my Loki. Between the thorough updates and the welcoming environment they provide for their clients, I wasn’t worried at all while we were away.”


“Holly was amazing. She took our pups on short notice and they had a great time together. Several pictures were sent and when we came to pick up the pups they had clearly had a great time. They played their little hearts out.”



“Wonderful establishment with beautiful scenery, tucked back high on a mountain. They're experienced and the kennels are in great shape!. The owners are very forthcoming with information before taking your animals to board there. It was worth the 40 minute drive. They helped me out when I needed help with two rescue dogs that I knew nothing about yet. Please consider them for your next board!.”


“Kurt kept our two dogs while we were out of the country. He took care of them as if they were his own and they had a great time. We trust him to handle anything that comes up. And he was flexible with our pickup time when we got home later than expected. The dogs love him.”


“Lindsey was so amazing with Zade and he had the best time! I didn’t have to worry for a second about him being in good hands because she was so great with him! With out a doubt will use Lindsey again if needed in the future!”


“Veronica is great!She truly enjoyed caring for our dog Niko and sent us photos/videos everyday. It was clear he received lots of love and playtime inside and outside of the house. Would love to have him stay again. Thanks so much!!”


About: I always grew up with my own animals and knew I wanted to to be a veterinarian one day. When I was in high school I started my own dog walking business to make some money and then heard a doggy daycare was opening up in town. I was the first to apply! I worked there for a while until I started at a local veterinarian at 16. Now I am going into my second year of vet school and wanted a way to fill some of my free time. Due to my busy class schedule I only have a cat right now, so I really enjoy spending extra time with dogs! My goal is to adopt a pit bull mix by the end of vet school because they have a special place in my heart! Over the past seven years, I’ve had the privilege of working with animals in a variety of settings from general care to specialty medicine to emergency and my passion for them only continues to grow. I'm skilled in administering medications and injections, caring for both puppies and senior pets, assisting with more challenging or nervous animals, and understanding dog behavior and body language. During the school year my schedule does vary Monday through Friday as labs are different days/times every week, however, they are only two hours long so I am flexible for the rest of the day! I really enjoy hanging out with animals as a study break! I also keep my schedule up to date on Rover! I'm available most days. Just message me about times and I will get back to you as soon as possible! I currently live in an apartment. I have one cat and my roommate has a cat. They both do well with dogs and will mainly keep to themselves and stay in our rooms. We are trying to socialize them more to dogs to get them more comfortable for when we adopt one in the next year! In our apartment we have two floors so we can keep the animals together when we are home and then separate them with a baby gate when we go out. There is a large unfenced backyard behind my apartment that is a communal space and lots of walking trails around including the Huckleberry Trail!

“Maverick loved his stay with Nancy & family. He was treated like family and got to do all the things he loves, play with dog friends & kids, find all the hidden balls in the house and sleep in a real bed :). Thanks again for making him feel so welcome and giving us peace of mind while we were away.”


“Always responsive. Knowledgeable about animals. Her pup is now our pups new best friend. Our pup runs to her door when he gets out of the truck. When that happens you know she is good to them <3”


“Nancye is absolutely amazing! She loved and spoiled our Josey as if he was her own. I loved that we had the opportunity to have a meet and greet before we took our trip. She took him on walks. He loves car rides and she took him to get ice cream with her getting him a pup cup. It was our 1st time leaving him with someone new and she sent us pictures and updated all along the way. Nancye has such a love for fur babies and it shows. Would definitely recommend her.”


“Chris and Carmen were very accommodating hosts! And I love how knowledgeable they are about dog behavior. This was Oskar's first time away from home without us, so he was a bit unsure and nervous. They were patient with him and made sure he was comfortable and happy. I was probably more nervous than Oskar, but the pictures and video they sent while he was there really helped assuage my anxiety! He had lots of exercise (they have a great backyard) and attention. I highly recommend Chris for boarding!”


“Had to find an overnight stay for my aussie Koda somewhat last minute and I’m very happy we ended up with Jessie! I rarely spend a night away from Koda so it’s always hard for me to leave him in someone else’s care, but Jessie was great. She sent lots of cute photos of him playing with her friendly pups, was very responsive, addressed my specific requests (Koda has food allergies, etc), and Koda came home tired and happy! Would definitely book her again in the future.”

“Kennedy was extremely kind. Our dog Remi can be nervous and she quickly came around to Kennedy. Kennedy provided daily updates and was quick to respond. She was very flexible of our travel times and understanding. We look forward to having Kennedy watch Remi again”

Fairlawn dog parents share their Rover experiences
We booked Kennedy last minute to watched our dog for six days. We didn't have a car to use for pickup/drop off and when Kennedy did the pick up, she was nice and caring, recommending we have our dog's crate/bed so that our dog would feel as comfortable as she could while she was away. Our dog doesn't always get along with others but Kennedy was accommodating and offered to keep her dog Oakley at her parents house if the meeting didn't go well (they ended up getting along!). Our dog was also doing heart worm treatment so had to have very limited exercise and Kennedy was careful to keep the days very relaxed for recovery. She sent us updates with pictures/videos everyday. The only bump was that our dog was supposed to get heart worm medicine every two days but she got it every three days instead. Overall, I think our dog really loved all the attention and meeting some new friends!
