“If I could give more stars, I would! Shatane and her family are truly wonderful people. They treated Ziggy and me with respect and showed Ziggy love and attention every day during his 3-day stay this week. I would definitely recommend Shatane—excellent communication, with plenty of updates, pictures, and videos.”
“Thank you so so much!! We couldn’t be happier going with Seonmin!! She was so good to Eggo and Eggo was so well taken care of. She sends picture updates everyday and our dog looks happy and makes himself right at home. Highly recommended!!”
“They are a great team. They cared very well for my dog and made him feel at home. They were very flexible with drop off and pick up times. Took lots a great pictures. A very pleasant and positive experience with Sarah and Ben. I’m sure I’ll use them again.”
About: I grew up on a small farm and have always loved creatures great and small. I have always had pets and have been a caregiver for friend’s dogs for years. I am now home full time and welcome the opportunity to slather love on more critters 🩷 I am currently home full time so have all the time in the world to spend with the animals. In warm weather I can leave the back door open allowing dogs to come in and out as the please. I have a fenced yard and a sweet 6 year old plott hound (Mojo), many fish, an axolotl (Buggie), and a hamster (Donut). My husband and I have two boys aged 10 and 12 who love animals as much as I do.
“Our Gracie had a wonderful time at Endy’s. It’s always a little anxiety producing to leave our Gracie with someone for the first time. It was apparent that Endy and her family welcomed Gracie into their home as if she were their own. The videos and pictures that Endy shared showed Gracie having a wonderful time and getting the snuggles she enjoys so much. We highly recommend Endy and will definitely use her again.”
“Thanks so much, Meghan! Iris and Saxon were in good hands from the start and we appreciated the updates. When we’re in town next time and need any help, we’ll certainly reach out”
“Stephanie does a wonderful job. My dog loves going to her house. - she sends pictures often with updates of Dakota playing ball, walking, beach, strolls and treats. I feel very confident, leaving my dog with Stephanie and have used her on several occasions..”
“My lab Oliver spent 4 nights with Michele where it felt like home for him. He hit the jackpot with all the fun (especially the pool 😄) and made friends with both of Michele’s dogs. He was so well taken care of and I often got updates/pics on how he was doing. I highly recommend Michele. Your fur baby will most certainly be in the best hands. Oliver already can’t wait for his next stay 🐾”
“Kelsie did an amazing job taking care of Tucker last weekend! He came home happy, relaxed, and pleasantly tired which is always a great sign that he got plenty of attention, exercise, and care. It’s clear Kelsie treated him like her own and made sure he was comfortable the entire time. I really appreciated the peace of mind while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Kelsie and would love to have her watch Tucker again in the future!”
“Heather was great with our pups! She communicated regularly, sent photos and even bathed them! She surprised us with a small gift as well. I would highly recommend Heather to anyone and intend on being repeat customers”
“Have you ever been jealous of how much fun your dog seems to be having without you? That's how I felt with every update from Jennifer & Matthew. I could tell that my dog Tulsa was having a good time, just from the get go. I watched him go on a walk with Jennifer and their dog Tater Tot, and could see that he was happily walking with the two of them. He didn't even look back at me when I drove away. Genuinely would love to send Tulsa here again if I ever need boarding services, sounds like Jennifer, Matthew, & crew would be just as happy to have him again.”
“Jess was amazing!! She sent daily updates and pictures and I could tell from the pictures that Mabel was so happy and being treated so well. Would recommend for anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter who goes above and beyond!”
“Whitney and Dave were wonderful taking of Louis during my trip away. My trip was buffeted by storms and they were so understanding about adjusting drop off / pickup. They have two adorable dogs who are very sweet. Whitney asked all the right questions about Louis and provided great and regular updates, with pictures! I highly recommend Whitney and plan to book them for future trips.”
“The whole experience has been great! My dog get alone with them very well. You can just feel that they are very good people, your dog would be safe and happy with them!”
“Helen provided exceptional care for Rosie, showing dedication, affection, and expertise. Each day, she kept me updated with beautiful pictures of Rosie. Within just two weeks, she successfully retrained Rosie to go potty outside, with 100% positive results. I can't recommend Helen enough—she is professional, communicates effectively, and most importantly, Rosie was truly happy in her care.”
“Millie absolutely loved her time with Larisa and Daisy! Larisa made sure to keep me updated on their daily adventures and send lots of pictures. Millie took multiple trips to the beach and walks at the bogs. We are very happy with the service and support Millie received while staying the weekend 😊 We will definitely reach out again for any pet sitting needs!”
“Angela, Paul, and Ana took amazing care of Beau! They sent lots of updates and photos of his time with them -- and it was wonderful seeing how well he was doing and knowing he was getting tons of attention while we were away! They went above and beyond, and we know Beau will definitely want to go back with them again!”

Halifax dog parents share their Rover experiences
Our senior dog Abby was in such good hands with Heather. Using rover was a new situation for us - in her younger days our 11 year old dog would board at a day care and the last few years she had only stayed with family. Heather kept us updated throughout Abby’s stay, sharing pictures and updates often. Heather took special care of Abby and did everything to accommodate her. Abby came home happier than ever, with some extra pep in her step. We are so grateful to Heather for taking such good care of our pup!
We couldn’t be happier with Leo’s care last week. We felt completely confident that he was safe and well taken care of the entire time. We loved the daily updates… it gave us so much peace of mind, and we were able to enjoy our trip stress-free since it was our first time leaving him for that long! We were especially grateful that they even did some training with him. Highly recommend and would definitely use again!
