“Paula was amazing! She took great care of my dogs over thanksgiving and they had such a good time. I highly recommend her to watch your fur babies because I know she took great care of mine :)”

“Elizabeth and Denton provided wonderful care to our two dogs while we were away! They communicated with us every day and provided updates on how the dogs were doing, and sent us tons of pictures and videos. They went the extra mile to take care of a small scratch on my dogs face he had gotten while playing with our other dog, and informed us about it immediately. The garage set up they have is wonderful and cozy, with plenty of space for the dogs to play around in. I highly recommend their services and will be booking with them again. Thank you both, again!”

“We have tried several Rovers - no need to keep looking, our pup will always stay with Robin and yours should too. We had to drop him off with an infected paw, Robin sent lots of pictures, kept it clean, and made sure he got his medication. He came home tired from all the play time but not stressed like he has been when left with other people. Can’t recommend Robin enough!”

“Elizabeth was excellent, one of the best pet sitters I have interacted with through Rover and beyond. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my dog with her again as she was very responsive and caring. She regularly sent updates and pictures without me ever having to ask for it. She made sure my pet got to enjoy long walks, had enough play time and was tired out. I have used her service twice and I have been pleased both times. Her calendar seems pretty full so I will be sure to ask her in advance next time. Seriously, the best!”

“Natasha and her family took care of our dogs like they were members of their family. Other places offered our dogs to " let out" every few hours from a shed. Natasha looked after our partially deff and blind senior citizen pug and our ball obsessed boarder collie in their own home. The dogs were always around someone who could play and love on them.”

“Great sitter, our dogs love their whole family! Sent lots of photos and kept us updated on how they were doing. Pets treated like part of the family. We will definitely use them again!”

About: Over the past couple of years, I’ve had the joy of caring for family and friends dogs when needed, giving their dogs a loving home away from home. I work from home so I have flexibility of time and a lot of love to give to your furry friend! Available for boarding any day of the week. My fenced-in back yard offers a safe environment for fresh air, fun, and exercise. Dogs allowed on furniture. I have a two year old lab who loves other dogs! I can also crate if needed.
“I am thrilled to give Sheri a 5-star review for taking care of my pet, Happy, during boarding! Sheri went above and beyond to ensure Happy's comfort and happiness. I was particularly impressed with the regular updates she sent, complete with photos, to keep me informed and at ease. Her dedication, attention to detail, and love for animals truly shine through. I am so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Sheri, for taking such wonderful care of Happy! I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking top-notch pet care.”

About: I’m a dedicated dog lover offering a safe, comfortable home for your pup while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone, so I treat every pet like part of the family. I have two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love having visitors and help create a fun, relaxed environment. My home also has a fully fenced backyard, so your dog can safely run, play, and get plenty of fresh air! Whether your dog loves to play or just relax, they’ll have a cozy, supervised stay here. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands :) Pet care fits well into my daily routine! I work from 7 AM to 3 PM, and my boyfriend has a later schedule, so there is usually someone home during the day. In the mornings, I make sure all dogs are fed, let out, and get some attention before I leave. During the day, they’re let out and supervised, and once I’m home, they get plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. Your dog won’t be left alone for long and will get consistent care throughout the day. I do my best to make every dog feel at home here. I keep a comfortable routine with regular meals, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. I take time to make sure dogs feel safe and settle in at their own pace, and I always supervise interactions. Whether your dog is playful or more laid-back, I adjust to their needs so they feel relaxed and cared for.
“Call Pamela and their dog Marlowe were great hosts for our spaniel, Jewelie. They have a lovely fence backyard and the dogs played a lot everyday they took very personalized care of her and we would love to bring her back sometime!”

“Amy eases my anxiety about leaving my dog behind when I go out of town. I love how often she sends pictures of my baby! She is my go to lady any time I need a sitter, I know my dog really enjoys staying with her and making new friends :)”

“Our pups have stayed with Lucky twice now and have had great experiences both times. We get daily updates and they are so responsive for any questions before during or after the visit. Our pups were super excited when they were dropped off for our last trip so we can tell Lucky & her family takes great care of them. They are our go-to & we look forward to future stays!”

“Cassandre and her family took amazing care of my three dogs! They can be a handful and I’m so grateful! They sent so many pictures throughout the weekend and I could tell my babies were in the best of hands. They looked right at home!! They even got a long walk and came home happy and tired hahaha. Thank you again, truly the best care!!”

“Our 5 year old lab had a great time staying with Matt. He enjoyed playing with Matt’s dog plus the way other guests. He came home happy and TIRED. Next time we need someone to watch him we’ll definitely hope he can stay with Matt again.”

“It was our first time leaving our dog Lucy with Michelle and Lucy had a wonderful time and Michelle took great care of of her. I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures on how Lucy was doing. We were gone for a week and I felt comfortable and confident leaving Lucy in her care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter!”

“We boarded our pup at Katina & Cheryl’s for a long weekend, and we’ll definitely be using them again! They were so friendly toward us and diligent about their own pets, which made us very comfortable trusting them with ours. Our pup was well cared-for and seemed to have a blast with them! We also appreciated the updates. Would highly recommend!”
