“KAREN WAS EXCELLENT!!!! Daily exercise, communication and thee best photos! I almost think my dog is sad to be back home!! Her whole family seemed to enjoy taking care of my sweet Delta. I also want to add that I used Rover for the first time, very last minute and Karen was also patient with me :) Hope she is available for our next trip!!!”
“Carolyn and Kris were like a second home for our Golden Retriever, Lucy. Everyday walks, lots of photos shared, lap time with Kris and play time with other dogs. Could not have asked for a better experience for our first time to board Lucy. It did not feel like we were 'boarding' her. It felt more like home.”
“Kelly and her daughters are THE BEST! We received daily photos with dear comments about our dog Coco! And it was obvious that Coco lived his time with Kelly, Lily and Luna as well! ???❤️❤️❤️”
“This was our first time using Rover. We hit the jackpot picking Nicole & Derek. Of course we were worried about leaving Odie and then with the rain the first night, I was really concerned about how Odie was doing. I received pictures and updates plus was told Odie got to sleep with one of their boys! When I picked Odie up, he was happy and really tired from having a fun weekend. Nothing like his reaction or smell when we have had to put him in a kennel. Thank you, thank you, thank you Nicole, Derek and your boys! I hope they will be available when we next need to leave Odie in someone else’s care.”
“Christine was wonderful. She knew I was apprehensive leaving my baby and she knew I was nervous about her not eating. She sent me pictures daily showing me she was happy and eating at every meal. This put me at ease and helped me to enjoy my vacation because I knew she was in good hands!”
“Carissa is amazing! Responsible, great communication and she sent great pictures! Tehya came home tired and happy - which means she had great fun! We will return again and again!”
“Elizabeth and Eric are awesome! This is Rocky’s second long stay of 10 days and Elizabeth is terrific with updates photos and videos! Make me feel so at ease knowing he is loved and well cared for- they really integrate him into their pack! Soooooo happy to have connected with these true animal lovers! Thank you Elizabeth and Eric!!!”
“Giovana & her family were absolutely amazing to our pup, Tucker! She was speedy in communication and sent lots of photos during his stay there. She was very accommodating & you can tell has a huge heart for animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone. We've already got our next away-dates scheduled with them. Tucker is already excited! 😀”
About: What sets us apart is our years of experience with family pets. We’ve both grown up caring for dogs and know how to provide the attention and love they need. With my husband working from home, your dog will have constant company and playtime with our own dog. We stay active and ensure your pup gets the fun, exercise, and care they deserve! We are mostly available for boarding on weekends but will consider week days as needed. My husband works from home which allows him flexibility to care during the day. We have a small unfenced yard where we can bring dogs for bathroom breaks. We live next to a lovely park that is great for walks. Spacious duplex allowing for space for kenneling if needed.
“We feel that Haley and her family did an outstanding job with Maggie. Haley sent lots of daily pictures and always kept us updated. We would definitely recommend Haley to anyone looking for someone to take care of their dog. As long as she's still participating in Rover, we will continue to use Haley and her family. Maggie felt at home in their home. Thank you Haley for taking great care of Maggie.”
“We were very happy with our experience with Jenny. She did a great job communicating. From the beginning she was quick to respond and asked lots of questions to make sure she provided the best care for our pup. During his stay she sent detailed updates with pictures. Our dog got along great with her dog and they had a lot of fun playing together. She took good care of our dog while we were away. We would use her again.”
“Mike is an amazing pet sitter! We 100% recommend him. Ranger loves going to stay at Mike’s and always comes home happy + tired out from all the play. Mike sends photos and videos of your dog playing throughout the day and is very responsive. So thankful we found Mike to take care of our dog when we’re out of town!!”
