“Our two girls had a great time with Jenny! Looking forward to our next daycare day and stay. Jenny does a great job of meeting our dogs’ needs and caring them! She sends updates and pictures to show what they are up to!”
“Highly recommend! I made a last minute booking that Kaylee and Nick accommodated. Very polite and sent me daily updates. Skaar was wiped out for 2 days after his visit! Will definitely book again. Thank you both!”
“Great place for Javy to go stay! They took excellent care of him and sent pictures daily. He especially enjoyed the open areas to fun and fetch his balls! Hung out with the residence dogs and cats 😎 if you are looking for a great place to board your dog I would highly recommend Shaun and Katie! We will be rebooking!”
“Our experience with Rachel was wonderful! She sent us regular updates, pictures and videos. Our Gracie girl was spoiled! Hoping we can book with again in the future!”
“Angie was responsive and kind when I reached out needing sudden help watching our 3 month old puppy for several days. She was so sweet and understanding about her being so young and likely to have accidents. Angie plays with the dogs, lets them outside often, and goes above and beyond with updates and pictures. Our puppy came home clean and seeming like she was unphased being away from us because she got sooo much attention at Angie’s.”
“Kaylene was a wonderful host & made my dog feel right at home. She was very accommodating & kept an open line of communication the entire time, it was a great peace of mind. We plan on using her again for many more future boarding needs”
“Eric is attentive, friendly and very caring. Our Pug loves to go there, and comes home very happy. Thank you for the great communication from beginning to end, the pictures during the stay, and always being so accommodating! You are awesome!”
“Deirdre was wonderful! She was very patient with us (we were late for our initial meeting) and with our dogs. She was very flexible when it came to drop off and pick up. Our dogs seemed very happy when they came home. Typically they are stressed when they come home from a boarding overnight and that wasn't the case this time. We would highly recommend her services!”
“Lynne made our 1st Rover experience go so smoothly! Bella absolutely loved staying with her while we were on vacation. She was great at communicating and sending updates to make our experience stress free. Bella felt right at home with being able to snuggle on the couch and look out the window. We would definitely recommend Lynne!”
“Savannah was great to work with. My cat Leo was returned to me healthy and happy. I was sent severely pictures of Leo during the week I was on vacation. I would be happy to use Savannah again!”
About: I love spending time and care for animals! I have animals of my own that gave me the experience to work with animals of all different ages, sizes, and personalities! I will take the time to make sure that your pets are well taken care of when they are in my care. I have an open availability for the most part to take care of your pet! I can provide for your pets with any care they might need. I have two dogs of my own and three cats, they are my babies!
“Allen did a wonderful job taking care of our girl and was very responsive to messages as well as flexible with drop off and pick up times. We would definitely love to book with Allen again ?”
About: My name is Brittany, I have recently transitioned to working from home. I have a very flexible schedule, which means that I have open availability for walks or drop-ins and will be able to be with your dogs the entire time they are in my care! While I have just started out on Rover, I am still an experienced animal caretaker. Previously I have worked with horses, dog sat in college as well as for family and friends. I treat all animals just like they are apart of my family, this means they sleep in the bed, are allowed on furniture, and are given plenty of love and affection. My dogs and I also love to go on outings to the park, hikes, biking, find water to play in, as well as walks around the neighborhood. I have experience with dogs of almost any size and would be happy to welcome your dog to my family while you are away. I work from home, so I have open availability. This means I can do walks or drop-ins whenever needed. If your dog is in my care while being boarded, at doggy daycare, or house-sitting, I will be with them the entire time! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have a long line to allow your dog freedom to play in the yard. In my home we have rest breaks around meal times, and dogs will be separated for meals and to have personal time to themselves. I do have kennels if your dog prefers to sleep in a kennel while in my care. But my two German Shepherds love other dogs and would be happy to invite other dogs into our home. In a client's home I will go off what their schedule is so they have their normal day. I will treat your home just as my own and will leave it in just as good if not better condition than what I found it.
