“Krysten took great care of my dog. She sent text updates and pictures which are always appreciated. This is the second Rover family we have used and prefer it over using boarding kennels. I trust her enough to watch my dog again. Thank you!”

“This wonderful family cares for our pup as if she were their own. I was also late dropping her off AND late picking her up, and they were simply gracious and kind, which I appreciate so very much. 😊”

“Anna, Ryan and their family took such good care of our pups! We are so thankful to have found someone to take them in when we are out of town that provides such a loving environment. They are great to work with! Our flight got in later than expected because of weather, and they remained flexible with us to pick up our dogs. We really appreciate finding this family! We’ll be using them as long as they are willing to provide this service. Anyone seeing this should have zero concerns with this service with them.”

“Lauren and Corey were wonderful when they cared for our 2 schnauzers. Lauren sent photos and updates regularly! We will definitely book again If needed”

“Michelle and her family have been a godsend to our family. Not only have their family been wonderful to work with, our dog gets treated just like family while there. Her son has even formed a special bond with our dog. I highly recommend her and we won't ever look back at doing the typical dog kennels again!”

“Angi did a fantastic time caring for our 2 dogs. With their high energy level and prey drive, they can be a handful if they don't get enough exercise or stimulation but by the time we picked them up they were worn out and happy as can be. We also loved all the updates and care she put in to making sure we felt good about leaving our boys with her. We will definitely be bringing them back!”

“Mikayla and Jared took great care of Spotty! They were willing to work with changes in our travel plans and sent daily pictures. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Christina is an excellent dog sitter! She watched my pup and sent photos and updates. With a fenced in yard and a dog loving family, it was the perfect fit. He was the happiest boy. I will definitely be contacting her any time I need a sitter. Thank you, Christina!”

“Jayne and her family were very welcoming for a last minute booking! Communication was excellent and I received pics and updates that really brightened my day. Will definitely use their hospitality again!😍😊😄”

“We had a wonderful experience with Paige. She made us feel completely comfortable leaving our dog in her care for a week. She was so kind and attentive, and it was clear our dog was well cared for and happy. We really appreciated the updates she sent while we were away—it gave us peace of mind knowing everything was going smoothly. Highly recommend!”

“Kryz was great and lorin seemed to have loads of fun! My puppy was pooped after her stay, she slept all day! :) kryz was great with updates and I feel lorin got plenty of attention and time to play with other pups! :)”

“This was our first time booking with Melissa and our dog would be there 9 days!! She was very welcoming and took great care of our dog. She sent me daily updates, pictures and videos. Our dog got along great with her two dogs. I would highly recommend boarding with Melissa!!”

“Lindsay and her family always take such good care of my pup. With a smaller dog, that often takes a bit to warm up to folks, it’s a huge reassurance that he’s always treated like family at Lindsay’s.”

“!!I can’t recommend Jamie enough!! She took our dog in, like she was her own. She keep me updated throughout the day! And she is always there to chat and answer questions! We are going to continue with Jamie! Because seriously that’s how good she is:)”

About: I have several years of experience with dogs. I have a full time job.i have a senior dog who needs medication every day what makes me stay home many times during the day.
