“Jennifer and her family took good care of our little Jax. She sent pictures with updates during his stay. He seemed very happy and relaxed with them. We are glad we found someone who not only can take care of him but also cares about his well being.”
“Kim was great with our dachshund. She’s very caring and communicative. She sent photos and updates so we knew our dog was in good hands. Can’t wait to book again when it’s warm for our dog to run around in her fenced backyard!”
“Chisato treated Casper and Gracie like they were members of her own family. She constantly kept us in the loop of their daily goings on with many pictures and movies! Casper and Gracie were having such a good time, I don't think they wanted to come home.😊”
“We are so happy we found Dee! Our regular sitter was not available. Dee accommodated us by a meet and greet first, which was very successful. We arranged for our dog to stay with Dee for two nights. She clearly loves dogs, and also knows how to work well with them. We were very pleased with the boarding experience, and we look forward to having our dog in Dee’s care again in the future. Highly recommended.”
“There aren't enough stars available to give Yesina. She was awesome. Stoney loved her. She was just what he needed. She was very kind, good, stearn and loving with Stoney. Stoney loved her friendly and playful dogs and became one of the pack. She gave him the training he needed and he responded wonderfully. I trusted her right away. She gave me great training tips to continue with Stoney at home. When I first met her I knew it would be a great relationship! Thanks Yesina (and your hubby too) for everything!”
“Jayne lovingly took care of my baby Kensie and gave daily updates on his eating and bathroom habits alongside some of the best photos of him! Super communicative and fastest response rate I've experienced at Rover.com. She is a real find!”
“Mary and Norman watched our fur baby while on a week’s vacation and they exceeded our expectations! Not only were they very accommodating with our schedule, they also sent daily updates and made our dog feel right at home - they treated her like their own! Mary and Norman will be the first we call whenever we need a pet sitter.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Patricia. Sprocket stayed over for 4 days and everything was perfect. He was well looked after and we received updates throughout our vacation. If there were 6 stars, we would have given 6!”
About: Aside from having my own personal dogs in home most of my life I have been volunteering working with and training rescues for 2 years now. Two hours in the Morning, two hours around lunch and all evenings are all free to care for the pets. Walks, fetch and training all available. If dogs are kid and animal friendly I will be able to give them lots of socialization in those environments plus lots of outdoor activity. Have experience working with dogs that don’t interact with other dogs very well.
“Tessa and Chet were amazing with Finn and Marge. It’s very apparent that she cared about the experience not only from Finn and Marge’s perspective but also from my perspective. She sent photos to let me know how it was going and communicated any questions she had. She has a huge heart for dogs and it shows. There were many signs throughout our long weekend away that the girls were getting lots of love while we were gone and one of the biggest signs was that they didn’t miss a beat after returning home.”
“This is the second time we have used Anita to watch our dog. This past visit was for 9 days and our 15 year old dog was completely happy and very much at home with Anita. I would highly recommend.”
“First time boarding our rescue dog and who doesn’t always get along well with other dogs. But Mayzie had a great stay! She got along well with Amy and Lamar’s dog (and cat) and they were able to separate her from a more active dog boarded during the day. They are very experienced in their understanding of dog behavior and from the pictures they sent she seemed like her happy self during the stay. Will definitely use them again!”
“This is the second time we have entrusted Peaches to the care of this wonderful family, and we are just as pleased as the first time—Peaches clearly is as well. We are truly grateful to have found them. Their warmth and attentiveness toward Peaches is remarkable. They are the ideal caregivers anyone could find!!”
“Julie was available last minute, and even with the limited time she was swift to respond and easy to communicate with. We dropped Brutus off and met her two dogs and son who would all be hanging out - I could instantly tell this was going to be great for our Maltese. After receiving a few fun photos throughout the stay, Brutus was happy and totally exhausted when we picked him up. Thanks for a great stay and highly recommended!”
“Veronique was awesome, she was always checking in with me with photos of my little Rubi. She was very attentive and made me feel at ease. My dog was clearly comfortable and at ease in her care. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Mike has taken really great care of our Puppy Bagheera!. Daily communication regards to puppy along with pictures made us feel like we were there with Bagheera. Definitely recommend Mike. Also looking forward to work with you for our future vacation.”
“We could not have found a better family to take care of our dog while we were away. He was so loved and Jennifer regularly sent me pics and updates. This family will be my first choice in boarding for future needs.”
“Jacob made this whole experience so easy, made us feel safe leaving our pet behind while on vacation, and we are confident that our Odie had such a good time! He is passionate about his clients and communicated with us the entire time. I would highly recommend leaving your precious pooch with him and feel great that they are being cared for and kept safe. Thank you Jacob for everything!”

Alexis is absolutely AMAZING! Our boy Diesel absolutely loves her we’ve used her a few times now since moving to the area and she’s a true rockstar. Diesel whines and gets all excited when we pull up to drop him off. He’s so spoiled and loved when he’s with her. She always sends pictures and updates of him she has been hands down the best sitter we’ve ever worked with. She’s so sweet and flexible when it comes to pickup and drop off just down right easy to work with 💕
