“First time using Rover and we had a great experience with Debbie and Tom from the "meet and greet" to the overnight stay. Archie settled in nicely and I could tell he was comfortable there from the pictures and updates they sent. I am grateful for the opportunity to let him stay in a comfy home with people who love dogs!”
“Danielle was very communicative and took care of our dogs like they were her own. Highly recommend. Our dogs got all the love and a daily walk which they definitely enjoyed.”
“I was so lucky to find Stella! Boarding the girls in a loving home was exactly what I wanted. Having a fenced yard was a great vacation for them. The updates and photos were great. Highly recommend!”
“Kim was excellent with our high energy puppy. She provided a ton of pictures and gave her a lot of playtime outside! I would highly recommend Kim and plan on using her again in the future!”
“Pepe came home soooo happy! He had a great time with Angela. He can't wait to go back in 3 weeks! This is the first time I've left him that he wasn't upset when he came home. Angela made me feel relieved and not worried about him being ignored or abused. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Melody was so awesome! Very responsive and sent tons of pictures and videos of our pup while we were gone. We did a meet up with her prior to our trip so she could meet our dog and get acquainted/ask questions etc. During his stay, they went on lots of walks and had so much play time. Melody goes out of her way to make your pup her number one priority. She had extra toys and even got him treats! She even gave some advice for some of his skin/stomach issues she noticed. Will definitely be bringing our pup back to her!”
“You’re absolutely amazing!!! Ziva won’t go to anyone else at home or my friends. But after just a few minutes she has no problem with you at all. I trust her instincts-so you gotta be an amazing person!!!! She always has fun at your house and the pictures show it!!! Thank you so very much for taking such good care of my furbaby!!!!”
“I just picked my dog up at Norma’s and I couldn’t be any happier!! Norma sent me several pictures and videos during the week and I could tell my dog was so happy and well cared for. I was relaxed during my week away knowing my dog was in good hands! Thank you again! ????”
“A thousand stars. Kelsey helped me out in a pinch. Lovely and inviting personality, lovely and inviting home. Very flexible -- (wasn't sure when, exactly, I would complete my 1000 mile drive, and drop off my goober dog). Benny was instantly comfortable with Kelsey even though we hadn't had time for a meet and greet. Kelsey kept me in touch with how he was doing in general, and checked in with me when she detected a brief limp. REALLY STELLAR experience -- cannot recommend highly enough.”
About: We have had dogs off and on throughout our whole life, even when I was younger. Sometimes more than one at a time. I have helped to watch family and friends dogs when they are away. I consider them all family. I call my kids dogs, my grandpups. I have a heart to help. I can cuddle them , take them for walks, give them treats, let them hang out in the dog run. I will be considerate of your routine and rules. I’m currently helping with my granddaughters, mostly if they need to go somewhere.I have recently retired. So I have time on my hands that I can be available for your pet. We have a dog run right off the back of the house so they can come in and out. That room also has a dog bed and patio doors that they can just sit and look outside at the ducks and birds and geese in the channel. We are on a double lot. They can be outside on a leash with me besides walks. We also have a nearby park. Feel free to bring whatever makes them comfortable.
“Jacob was great. He is very accommodating, his communication is excellent and you can tell he truly loves dogs. Jacob sent us nice daily updates and photos and made sure our dogs felt at home. His dog is very friendly and made it fun for our dogs to stay with them. We will definitely use Jacob again!”

“Julie and Tom did an amazing job watching my senior pup. I was in a pinch and needed someone to help last minute. My dog is almost 16 and needs a lot of assistance including being carried around (he’s a lab/Weimaraner mix). I was worried about leaving him but they sent me tons of updates, pictures, and videos. My pup was actually so comfortable there he almost didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up. Thank you so much for what you do! You are appreciated!”
“Deanna was wonderful, she was friendly and patient with my dog, Baby. I enjoyed receiving her text messages about how Baby was doing - she even sent me a picture of Baby which was great! I definitely will call Deanna again to watch Baby! Robin Witikka”
“Deanne is an awesome person! She gives all for your pet while under her care. It makes you feel really comfortable leaving part of your family with her. Thanks Deanne! I will use her care Each and every time.”
“Anays and Francis were wonderful with Ginger. This is the first time she's been boarded for an entire week. I was completely comfortable leaving her with them and their communication with me was fantastic. I already have another week booked for later in the summer.”
“Elizabeth was amazing with our Chesapeake! We appreciated her communication, pictures, and videos while we were away. I feel lucky to have found her and would definitely recommend her!”
