“Was our first time leaving our dog with someone else for overnight so high anxiety for us parents. Cliff was able to make our separation easier as our dog felt at home after out meet and greet. Perfect place for our dog!”
“This was our first stay with Jessica and we could not be more pleased! Our older dog settled right in at Jessica's. She did a great job of updating us and sending pictures. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing that our dog was very well cared for. We will definitely leave our dog with Jessica again.”
“Jessica did an excellent job with little B and he came home happy and healthy. He can’t settle down without his dog bed, so we were glad we could leave it with him. We also brought his food and water bowl. Jessica was professional, competent, and caring. Five star rating, for sure! We will definitely use her again.”

About: Hello! My name is Rachael and I live in Windsor Heights! I’m happy to help take care of your fur babies! I currently own two rescue dogs and a cat (Baloo Galaxy and Amelia)! I’m happy to help with your dog walking and dog boarding needs as I am able! I enjoy running and walking and love exploring new parks. I have a fenced in yard. I currently work from home and my schedule is very flexible! I was raised with dogs and got my own dog after I graduated college in 2009. My second dog was a foster that I found in 2015. Both typically get along well with other dogs after a meet and greet. I look forward to talking to you soon!

“Butter loved her stay at Ashly’s! Ashly is a professional and we felt instantly comfortable when dropping Butter off. Ashly did a great job following all of our care instructions. Butter had a great time playing with Ashly’s dog and definitely needed a bath from all the fun after we picked her up! Would definitely use Ashly’s services again. Thank you so much!”

Grimes dog parents share their Rover experiences
Robin & John were excellent sitters for my elderly dog Mousey. They requested a meet and greet beforehand with Mousey before dog sitting and was very professional, nice, patient, and kind to Mousey. While dog sitting Robin and John kept me updated on how she was doing, gave her all medications as directed and sent me plenty of pictures with Mousey enjoying herself. Robin & John gave Mousey alot of attention, they petted her, held her, spoiled her, and treated her like family. Mousey was happy and playful when I picked her up, so I knew she enjoyed her stay. I would definitely recommend Robin & John to watch your pet, you won't regret it. Thank you Robin and John for taking such great care of Mousey!
