“I would leave our Gigi here over and over again. Mark and Vicky sent photos and updates 2 times a day to let us know how she was doing. She ate when with them which let me know that she was comfortable. She even got the chance to play with some other dogs with no issues.”


“I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the wonderful care you provided for my dog, Luna! From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in great hands. You took the time to understand her personality and needs, which made all the difference. Luna had an absolute blast during her day with you! Thank you once again for giving Luna such a wonderful day. I will definitely be reaching out for future dog-sitting needs, and I highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter!”


“Nathan and Jenna were FANTASTIC with our puppy and I felt such peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands while we were away! They have a beautiful back yard set up so that’s it’s a fun and safe place for dogs to play. They were understanding of the needs of my dog and the fact that he doesn’t get crated at home. He was part of the family while he was there😊. I got daily updates, pictures, and videos of my puppy having the best time! I 100%recommend Nathan and Jenna and I have already booked Baxter’s next stay!!!💕”


“Kylie did a fantastic job with our Golden Retriever. She sent us multiple pictures every day, bathed him before we picked him up, and sent him home with a new toy. She is wonderful and kind, and we would definitely use her again!”



“Mark and Elizabeth took great care of our 2 year old yellow lab. Daisy had a wonderful stay. They went above and beyond to make Daisy feel comfortable and help her get used to her temporary home.”


“I cannot put into words how much I appreciate Megan. We were so nervous about leaving Libby for the first time. She put our minds at ease instantly. She did a meet and greet and then sent updates every day that we were gone. I couldn’t be more happy! I felt that Libby was very well taken care of and we will definitely use Megan again. Thank you so much for everything!!!”


“Hailey and Justin did a wonderful job taking care of my dachshund for the weekend! They sent pictures and updates and I could tell he was having a great time. Would definitely recommend and book them again! Thank you!!”


About: I've been house and pet sitting since I was a teenager, over 20 years! I've had my own dogs for 12 years and would be lost without our Sparrow, she completes my family! She and I are an easy going, laid back family with a large yard and lots of outside time. I work from home and take frequent breaks for walks outside. I use gates to keep dog friends in safe places, crates are optional and of Sparrow's choosing to use. Sparrow is a 3 year old golden doodle that loves other dogs and is chill and friendly. She is the neighborhood mascot and often stops on her walks to see her favorite kids on the block. I am available for both daytime care and overnight care, as well as coming to your home for walks and check ins while you are away. If you have any questions, please feel free to message me! My first task of the day is always a long walk with my dog! We take 2-3 walks per day and include lots of ball or tag time. Because my job is flexible, I can arrange my day to suit caring for others' pets as well. I use child safety gates to provide safe spaces for dogs throughout the house. There are several comfy places around the house for resting and a big back yard for playing, which we do every night. I have a crate available too, if needed.

“Right after the meet and greet with Claire and Jim, I knew I chose the right sitters for Domino! If I felt comfortable in their home, I knew Domino would too. Their spacious fenced in backyard was such a plus! They sent texts and photos of my happy pup looking right at home. What a comfort knowing Domino was his normal self in their loving care! I can’t thank them enough!”


“Max was very happy! Even though they have a yard, they would take Max out for a frequent walk as well! They really treated Max as their own! Fern (their dog) is so friendly and mature! Thank you guys!! I would go back in the future for sure!”


“Sarah is very professional and thorough! She took notes about all of my puppy’s preferences and made sure to follow up with me throughout her stay. My dog got lots of love, care, and play with Sarah!”


About: I’ve been a dog lover since about the age of 10 when we got my family dog, Shadow, a cockapoo. As a kid and while growing up, I even trained Shadow to compete in agility competitions and took him to training weekly while also practicing with him in the backyard! When I moved out, I got my own fur baby- a golden doodle named Bubity! Obsessed doesn’t even begin to describe how much I love my dog as I have a water bottle, pair of slippers, shorts and sweatshirt with him on it! I promise to treat your dog as if they’re are my own! I’m currently working part time as a nurse while also attending classes virtually for my masters. My schedule changes weekly but I usually know it about a month in advance! I am pretty flexible on my days off and and willing to work with you in order to help take care of your fur baby! I have a fully fenced in yard and my 1 golden doodle at home. I am more than happy to host your dog for play dates in our yard. I know how hard it is to get a routine set with your dog whether it be something as simple as turning the TV on before leaving the house, walking a specific route to get them to go potty or giving them a special treat when they’re going to be left alone. Whatever your routine is, let me know and I will follow it to its entirety!

“Samantha was great with my 3 fur babies. It was evident that my dogs loved her when I picked. them up because they kept running to her and to us. She was great to send pictures and videos while we were gone to let us know that they were doing great and enjoying the big backyard. I would definitely use Samantha again to watch our dogs.”

“Jessica deserves 10/10 stars. She was amazing with Bailey. She was able to make our wedding special by bringing Bailey to our wedding ceremony. We definitely plan on using Jessica again for our boarding services in the future.”


“We couldn’t have had a better experience with Christy and Glenn! I’m often nervous leaving our sweet (but often anxious) rescue chihuahua mix, Brownie, because he does best with lots of patience and a calm environment. Christy and Glenn completely understood that and I’ve never seen Brownie be so calm in a new environment as he was with them! They cared for Brownie with such love and attention, gave us lots of updates along the way and we will certainly bring Brownie back again and again.”


“I used Rover for the first time and had a wonderful experience. Carrie was better than I could have hoped for. She agreed to a quick meet prior to boarding to be sure everything would be a match. I instantly knew that she was a good person with a very nice family. I was able to travel for over a week without any worries and she sent photos regularly. Our pets are our family, so that feeling is priceless. She took care of my Teddy as if he was her own. Thank you Carrie and family for being such honest and caring people!”

Fairlawn Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Megan did an amazing job with Apollo! Apollo felt right at home and so loved ❤️ The daily pictures that I got every day of Apollo was “icing on the cake” and I felt more at ease seeing all the fun he was having every day. I think Apollo was a little sad when the stay was over.

I instantly knew that she was a good person with a very nice family. I was able to travel for over a week without any worries and she sent photos regularly. Our pets are our family, so that feeling is priceless. She took care of my Teddy as if he was her own. Thank you Carrie and family for being such honest and caring people!

Jared was very accommodating and responded timely to any questions I had. My dog had a great time at Jared’s! I have an older dog who had a few special needs and Jared did an awesome job with him. Jared was able to give my dog a few short walks during the day and he loved that. I really appreciated all he did for my little guy!
