“Regarding our plans for spring break, our plans changed multiple times and we were in need of care for our dog kind of last minute considering spring break timing. I am grateful that Kent was able to help us out. Kent was very easy to work with and he took great care of Tansey. He provided daily updates and sent some pictures of Tansey. Kent is very kind and it shows that he really enjoys caring for dogs. Thank you Kent!”
“This was the first time using Rover and Kasia was great. Our puppy came home happy and content. Kasia was quick with responses and also kept us updated while we were away so we felt comfortable that Aurora was in good hands. We will definitely leave Aurora with Kasia going forward! Thank you for all your love and care Kasia ♥️”
“Robert did a great job with Tater. I loved the pic and video showing Tater playing with the other dogs and relaxing. He got a lot of love and cuddles while I was away. I am really happy to have connected with Robert and his dogs so quickly. It was the perfect match for Tater.”
“Amberley was wonderful - communicative, flexible, incredibly kind and took wonderful care of Wrigley on short notice. We especially appreciated photos and updates and the frequent walks and outside time he got in her care. So thankful!”
“This was Penny’s second stay with Tatiana. She is always professional, thoughtful, and responsive. She is great with our older girl, who is a little slower than she used to be and needs a little TLC. PS - thanks for all the belly rubs! Love the daily updates and photos! Thanks again for taking such great care of Penny. Will not hesitate to book again!”

“Kira was excellent with our dog, Jojo. I don't think Jojo wanted to come back home after her stay with Kira. Kira provided daily photos of our dog. All in all Kira is wonderful and will do great with any pet. We will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, I offer calm, attentive, one-on-one boarding in a clean and peaceful home. As a former groomer, I’m skilled in handling anxious, shy, or energetic dogs, and I’m confident in brushing, basic hygiene care, and reading canine body language. I currently have one friendly Shiba Inu at home, and I only host one client at a time—ensuring your dog receives my full attention and a safe, low-stress environment. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, slow walks, or quiet company, I adjust my care based on their routine and comfort level. Feel free to send me a message—I'd love to learn about your dog and how I can make their stay feel like home. Your dog’s care is naturally built into my daily routine. We start the morning with a refreshing walk, breakfast, and some calm bonding time. Throughout the day, your dog will enjoy structured potty breaks, enrichment games, and plenty of supervised relaxation. You will receive updates during these key moments—morning, afternoon, and evening—so you’ll always know how your dog is settling in. I stay closely aligned with your dog’s normal schedule to reduce stress and help them feel at home quickly. Consistency, supervision, and comfort are always my priorities. I provide full-time supervision when boarding, maintain a clean living space, and follow each dog’s feeding, medication, and potty schedule exactly as instructed. Dogs are never left unsupervised around my Shiba Inu, and introductions are done slowly and safely. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages throughout the day so you always know how your dog is doing.
“I’m soooo glad to find D’Artagnan here in Rover! My dog Elsa came home happy and tired! He sent me tons of photos and updates during the day and it just gave me peace of mind knowing my baby is having a blast with his dog Nike. Thank you and I am sure Elsa is looking forward to the next she stay with you guys!!!”
“Beryl was great to work with, and I would definitely want to book her again. She is organized and prompt in her communication and super reliable with rover responsibilities. Plus the dog (s) were a big fan of hers as well. They knew they were safe and well-cared for. Thanks Beryl!”

Kasia is amazing!!! Great house, and the yard was awesome! Kasia is easy to work with, is happy to help make the stay everything it can be all the while being sensitive to our Murphy’s issues. She will be our go to going forward, we can’t say enough good things about her.
This is our 2nd time leaving our Brownie with Allis. She is very attentive, professional yet playful and caring with our dog and also very responsive. From updates and pictures every day to quick messages back. We know he is in great hands when he is with her.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ She was absolutely amazing with my three dogs! 🐶❤️ She is so sweet, kind, and loving, and you can immediately tell how much she genuinely loves animals. My dogs loved her too, which made me feel so comfortable leaving them in her care. She took such great care of all three of them and treated them like they were her own. I’m so grateful I found someone I can trust with my fur babies! 🐾💕 I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy to take care of their pets!
Robert did a great job with our weimaraner Geddy. He gave him lots of good exercise and worked with Geddy’s quirks. Robert kept us updated throughout our trip. I would highly recommend him and we will definitely plan to use him in the future. Thanks for everything Robert.
Kelly took care of my dog and cat, and she was seriously the best. She kept us updated with check ins, updates, and photos. She was so patient with my cat and was actually able to get him to come out and be with her, which has never happened before. You could tell she truly cares about animals and treats them as her own. I felt like I was actually able to relax knowing my babies were so well taken care of. Very grateful to find her!
With very short notice, Ed was able to accommodate our request for dog care for Maisie, our Golden Retriever. We were on an 11 day cruise and throughout our trip received pictures and updates on how Maisie was doing. She is a 1 year old golden with high energy and can be a handful. Not only did Ed improve her behavior on walks, but also worked on getting her to stop jumping on everyone she meets. It was wonderful to see her play with his dog and his children. Needless to say we wondered if she would want to come home with us because of all the attention she received. We highly recommend Ed and the wonderul care that he and his family provided for our Maisie.
Ashley was incredible! She sent an update with pictures every evening so we knew what they were up to and gave peace of mind while missing our girl. She was so attentive to Winnie - Let us know when her ear seemed to bother her and was down to clean her ears and offered to go purchase solution if needed. She checked with us prior to be sure Winnie could have a piece of Thanksgiving turkey and even got her a special toy during her own errand run which she still carries around. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Would recommend to anyone!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Itasca home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
