“Has taken care of my dog several times. He loves being there - lots of attention and interaction with other dogs. Ashley responds quickly through Rover for both requests and when I’m checking in. Happy with the care he receives and plan to have Ashley watch him again when it is needed.”
“Marcy did a fabulous job taking care of Tanner for a few days while we visited Isle Royale National Park. She took him for long walks, played with him in the back yard, took him berry picking and to the beach and provided a loving “home away from home” for him during his stay. She sent me regular updates and photos of the little fellow to put my mind at ease that instructions for his feeding, medication, and care were being followed precisely and he was doing well. I couldn’t recommend Marcy more highly and would love to have the opportunity to work with her again in the future if we are back in the area.”
“Jaylynn and Benjamin were absolutely amazing with our dog! They made him feel like part of the family and he was a happy happy boy playing with their golden retriever and other puppy they were dog sitting for! Their communication was excellent and we really enjoyed getting updates and pics. I will definitely be using their services again in the future.”
“Suz was wonderful! She really cared about our two Goldens! She took them for walks and allowed them time to play in the yard. We were sent plenty of pictures and updates as to how things were going. We will book with Suz again for sure!!!”
About: Hi everyone! I’m looking forward to giving your pet the best care possible! I’ve been blessed with some amazing dogs (and a few cats) over the course of my life and have tons of experience caring for them, and making sure they’re loved and comfortable. :) My photos show some photos of the animals I’m so grateful to have in my life! I also have experience taking care of older and special needs dogs who may need more care in regards to medications/ diet/ physical ability etc. I am confident and comfortable around most pets, regardless of size or personality! I am a full time nursing student so my schedule varies day by day, however I can plan to be with your furry friend all hours I am not in class. I will follow any training or safety guidelines you have for your pet, such as fencing, leashes etc. Safety is my top priority so I will ensure that any special needs your pet has are met to keep them happy and healthy.
“WHITNEY!!! You are the best Rover sitter!! Thank you so much for taking such good care of me~ I love being with Walker and your whole family!! My mom can’t believe I don’t chew up the wonderful blankets you wrap me in when I visit~ And my mom and dad really love the photos you send them while I’m visiting you. Thank you from the bottom of my puppy heart! Woody & his family”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I grew up with two small dogs and now I own my own large breed dog. I have always loved being around dogs. I am currently working from 8-3:30, 5 days a week, but my availability opens up June - August each year as I do not work during those months. My dog will be a friendly companion to keep your dog company while they stay with us. I walk my dog every day, weather dependent, and we love to play fetch in the backyard.
About: I have experience working with animals through my own pets, working at the animal shelter in the past, and volunteering at the animal shelter. I have also fostered. I am comfortable giving medications and other special care. I am available during the summer season. I don’t leave animals unsupervised. Our routine is driven by the dogs’ needs and creating opportunities for enrichment. I have a 6 ft fence in the backyard, own my own home, and take the dogs for daily trail walks. They’ll be treated like they’re part of my own pack.

Houghton dog parents share their Rover experiences
Audrey is a fantastic house sitter and an excellent pet boarder. I always look to see if she is available when we take a trip. She loves animals and we totally trust her with our cat Tazz and dog Daisy. It is awfully nice to have peace of mind when we are away knowing they are being well taken care of. Audrey takes our dog on walks and sends photos. The pets love seeing her. We very highly recommend her. She is fantastic!!
