“Jacob and Megan took excellent care of our dog, Penny! Everyday they sent photos of her and gave us updates as to how she was doing. Jacob and Megan were easy to work with, both in terms of communication and flexibility. Penny came back happy! We hope to have the chance to book again with Jacob and Megan!”
“I can’t say enough about Gisel and her family that gave us a warm welcome the moment we connected. At our meet and greet, I knew she was the one to host our #furbaby Cody. Even her children were loving towards him. They are a wonderful family and far exceeded our expectations of caring for our Cody with pics and videos the whole seven days. Our neighbor uses her as well for their Yorkie and are very pleased with the care they’ve received. The bonus for us, she’s a stay at home mom and Cody was not left alone all day. She has small dogs as well and he was able to meet new friends. This was our first time leaving Cody without family and Gisel eased all of my anxiety because of her love for animals. We’ll be using her again soon.😊”
“Absolutely amazing! Paris kept us updated the entire time so I wasn't as nervous about being away. Loved getting pictures and videos all week! If you're going away, I'd definitely recommend Paris!”
“My dog has had the same sitter for 14 years, so I was concerned about how he would adapt to a new person and setting. Grace was wonderful with him. She followed his schedule and routine. When I picked him up, he was relaxed and happy. Grace kept me informed about how he was doing with messages and pictures. I will definitely use Grace again.”
“Angelita was such a great sitter for my puppy. She provided a little bed with a pillow and blanket for my baby and knew immediately what my dog's interests were. She pays much attention to the dogs and let them have much play time at her backyard. She adored and took great care of my baby. Will book her again if i'm in the area.”

“As a first time Rover user, my wife and I were so happy to have found Whitney to take care of our 6 month old puppy while we were out of town for the night. She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay and was always available to answer any questions we had. We will definitely use Whitney again!!”

It was such a relief to know Remy was in good hands and with someone who treated her as one of her own. I definitely recommend booking with Betsy. Remy is already looking forward to her next stay!”
“I can’t sing enough praises for Madeline. I had to travel for a few days and, like any dog parent, I was anxious about leaving my puppy behind. From the moment we booked, Madeline put every worry to rest. We had a meet-up beforehand to ease the pup in, and from then on, my dog was totally relaxed. I especially appreciated the constant photo updates—seeing those really helped ease my anxiety about being away. 10/10, would recommend.”

“This was our first time boarding with Cher and things seemed to go good. I’m Always nervous to leave my dog with someone new, he’s like one of the kids. But she sent pics and let us know things were ok each day and that he was doing well. Cher and her husband were both very nice and seemed to enjoy having Charlie there. I would board Charlie with them again.”
“Foxy was great with my two dogs. She provided pictures and updates. Lincoln has separation anxiety, and she knew how to calm him, to the point that he owned the house. Blitz is a high-energy boy, and I know he kept her busy. This was a last-minute booking instead of the kennel at the vet - So glad the boys had a great vacation too!”
About: I have been an animal lover and had dogs my whole life. My first job was working at a boarding kennel at 14 years old. I have worked with many different breeds. I am experienced with boarding pets in my home, pet bathing experience/groomer in training, nail trimming, ability to give oral medications, insulin injections (I have had two diabetic dogs), walking dogs of any breed or size. At this time I am very flexible. My life revolves around animals. I can commit to your schedule to suit you and your pets needs. I have a fenced in back yard and live away from high traffic for safe walks, I have dogs of my own for your pup to have friends to play with. I can keep my dogs separate from yours if needed. Patient, and quiet loving home with pet's needs as my top priority. Can take them for car rides or snuggle up on the couch and watch a movie. I can pick your pet up and drop them off if needed.

“I’ve known Amanda for about 6 years now. She has an incredibly huge heart when it comes to animals of any species.

Two of her animals have disabilities, the duck has a broken foot that healed incorrectly when she rescued him. She also has a diabetic Doberman that needs insulin shots every 12 hours, she’s very amazing with her meds and needs she requires. She just recently started her grooming and boarding business and I let her watch my dog a couple times and groom him. She did amazing grooming, she has a good sized yard for your furry friend to run and play. Her dogs are extremely friendly and social so your furry friend will have company!! I can’t recommend Amanda enough!”
