“This was our first time using Rover, and it is nerve wracking leaving your fur baby with a stranger. Rachael however put all worries to ease. She’s friendly, a great communicator, and we felt confident our pup was in great hands. We’ll definitely book with her again!”


“Nicole and her whole family could not have been sweeter or more accommodating! She picked up Stanley at our house, sent great pics of him playing and cuddling with her boys and other two dogs, and I feel pretty sure he loved living with them and their many beautiful wooded acres! I would recommend Nicole and her family to anyone who has a sweet and active dog!”


“AWESOME experience! Kim is super accommodating and great to work with. Our special needs pup was snuggled and loved! We changed plans last minute over a holiday- Kim was wonderful to work with, making sure our pups were cared for and we had a blast on vacation. Highly recommend them!”

“Kathryn and her sweet dog Zoey took such good care of our pup! We received daily updates and photos of all the fun walks and explorations they went on- it was like summer camp for dogs. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


“Kara is amazing! They take such good care of my dog, making it easy to leave him when he's not able to travel with me. Kara responds quickly, clearly loves animals, and is a delight to deal with. Highly recommend.”

“Bethany and her dog, Tink, were fabulous hosts for my dog, Rosie. I received lots of updates and Bethany was great with communication. Rosie seemed very happy and tired when we got her back. We will definitely use Bethany's services again in the future. Thanks!”


“Dan was very easy to coordinate given my logistics were a moving target. If you have a senior & friendly dog Dan is a gem! He’s patient and kind and his Senior dogs are lovely and welcoming to both humans and new canines! I highly recommend Dan!”


“Took on my absolute last minute booking with a level head, introduced my kitten to her other cats so that soon they were nice and chummy. I can tell Limbo was well taken care of. Thanks so much!”


“Janae and her husband were very sweet and responsible with our whippets that stayed a few days. They had some separation anxiety at first and really appreciated the updates and that they were able to quickly calm down and relax in good care! Awesome Rover experience all around and would bring the pups back again next time in TC!”


“We were so happy to have Jared take care of our Golden. He was east to communicate with and our pup got along well with his dog. We appreciated Jared being flexible when we got back into town later than expected. Our dog came home happy and healthy. We’d be happy to have Jared watch our dog again.”


“Hannah was absolutely amazing! Our pup appeared to have had the best time there! We got frequent updates and it was clear she was well cared for and snuggled. Will absolutely use Hannah again!”


About: I worked in a vet clinic during college and I studied animal science for a year and a half. I had cats growing up and hope to get a dog one day soon! We have 2 young kids right now, so we are not ready to own our own pet just yet. I am great with training and have trained my friends’ dogs and my cats. Both cats that I most recently lived with knew “up” and know how to sit on command. I am a teacher during the school year and home during the summer. I am free all summer except a trip here and there. I try to keep my calendar as updated as possible, but you can always reach out and ask! I have a big yard, but it is not fenced in so your dog would have to be on a leash. I do not have any pets, but we do have 2 kids.

“Stephanie was great at communicating and was very flexible. We were traveling and needed someone last minute and she was very accommodating. She sent daily photos which was nice. I would recommend.”


“Champ came back happy as if he’d never left home. Cheyenne was very patient with handling his initial nervous accidents (?) & communicated daily about how he was doing. My first boarding experience was great!”



“Jill is amazing! She has watched Copper now twice and I love her! She sends lots of pictures and is quick to answer when I send a message. I will use her whenever I need a sitter.”
