Guinness has separation anxiety and Marta was so kind. She contacted me and asked if there were any suggestions on how to get him to calm down. Then a day or two later I am getting pictures of him hanging out with other dogs. Marta and her children were great and sweet to Guinness. I will definitely book with her again.

Kyle and his family were great with our dogs!! We were nervous to leave them while we were away because of previous bad kennel experience, but Kyle was great. Another worry that we had was that one of our dogs takes medication daily, but he gave it to her with no problems! He has a great fenced backyard for the pups to run around, he took them for walks, played with them, sent lots of pics and videos, and showed them lots of love. Our dogs really enjoyed their stay. If you’re in the area we would 100% recommend Kyle!

I was a little apprehensive to leave my dogs with a sitter. I have only left them with family in the past. Emily answered my inquiry within 30 minutes. She gave me great information about her facility and her care philosophy. She allowed me a meet and greet before my stay so my dogs and I were all OK. She paid attention to my older dog's limitations and my younger dog's need for more exercise. My pets came home healthy . Emily even updated me with photos while I was away. I had a great experience with Rover.com.

About: I have been watching my neighbors dogs for the past 17 years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. Since I am young and active, I can take your dog on walks and provide plenty of exercise throughout the day. Additionally, I can provide overnight sitting and ensure your house looks occupied. I am more than happy to bring in your mail/packages, water your plants, adjust the blinds, turn on and off lights, bring garbage cans to the curb (and back) for trash pick up. I have a cat of my own named Oliver so I also have years of experience with cat care! I can come check on your feline friend and will feed, refresh water, play, and clean the litter box as needed. I am very free during the summer. During the week I can stop by anytime during the day, as well as provide overnight care. I am also free most weekends. I understand it is hard to leave your furry friend so I really do go out of my way to put pet owner's at ease. I will consistently provide updates and photos so you know you are in good hands.
