Amy was wonderful with our two dogs! She very clearly spoiled them. I can tell by the pictures that they had a great time. Especially out in the back yard! She was also very accommodating with our schedule which was very much appreciated!

Tatiana was a great host for Wallace! She was so kind and came to the rescue in short notice. Would highly recommend her to anyone with a dog who loves kids and would definitely repeat.

Barrie was great with our son, Shapley! She did a great job of communicating and sending pictures to make us feel extra comfortable while being away from him. You can tell she really cares about these puppies because she even let Shapley sleep in the bed with her. We would definitely recommend!

Danielle is the absolute best, and I’ll hear nothing to the contrary. This was my first time using Rover, and the sitter I originally booked cancelled on me morning of, but Danielle accepted our last minute request on a holiday weekend. I have an old dog with arthritis and medication who can be a picky eater at times, but that was no issue for Danielle. She not only made me feel at ease with constant updates and pictures, but she exercised and socialized him, and he may like her more than me now. My only regrets with this review are that everyone else will book her now and she’ll be unavailable next time we need boarding for a weekend

Falone was great! She was very flexible and understanding with our drop off and pickup times. The dogs had lots of walks, and we recurved so many photos! She even went to the store to grab the exact dog food we forgot. Literally a lifesaver.

Brittney was awesome! She sent lots of photos and kept me updated on how my dog was doing throughout her stay! Remi came home tired and happy! Brittney even got her to eat most of her food which Remi can be weird about in new places! Would definitely recommend her to a friend and will definitely be using again!

About: I have owned dogs my whole life and when unable to in college I was a frequent foster mom to up to 3 dogs at a time! I love going on long walks and will take the time to play and cuddle with your pup as well! I'm currently working a flexible schedule and able to work during with weekdays and weekends upon request. I typically go for long walks 3 times a day in the early morning, early afternoon, and early evening. Of course outdoor playtime is a must as well with frequent bathroom breaks for young pups! Dogs are welcome to sleep in crates or if not crate trained let me know what your dog is used to as we want them to feel right at home! I have a big fenced in yard and a one year old dog to keep your puppy company! I am able to go on long walks or play in the backyard depending on your dogs age and needs.

Libby had a clean home, spacious space for Grey to stay & updated us with text & pics. She has a fenced in yard on the side & fenced in deck for the pups to play/relax safely. Grey was well taken care of & if we are in the area again we would rebook.

10/10 Jordyn was absolutely amazing with our dogs! We have two medium/large size dogs, one that’s a love bug and had never been boarded before and the other one has severe separation anxiety where previous boarding didn’t go well a couple years ago (previous time was with a different facility). From the initial meet and greet, to daily updates and photos she kept up informed but also made our anxious baby feel so loved. She has a beautiful fenced in area and we felt totally safe leaving our babies with her. We would absolutely use her again in the future! Thank you again for keeping our girls and they are already napping in the backseat :)
