“My puppy, Fancy, was very well taken care of. I’m so happy to have found Courtney, and Rover. I will never board again. Fancy was with a family, getting 24/7 care and love. I was given updates and funny stories about my wild girl. Such a great experience!!!!”
“Evelyn was excellent! She communicated well and was SUPER patient with my very nervous dog. I would highly recommend her and will reach out to her again in the future.”
“Carolyn took great care of my fur baby! She took him for a lot of walks, sent daily updates and pictures. Nice to have the peace of mind that my baby was well cared for!”
“Gray loved staying with Leigh and her family! He was not only well cared for, but doted on and given lots of love! Leigh sent regular update messages and pictures for us and we really appreciated knowing he was having so much fun playing with their dog Rosie and making himself right at home.”
“Karrie took wonderful care of Barley for us! She was a great communicator, whether it was setting up the meet and greet, leading up to the stay, or providing us with great updates and pictures (without us having to ask for them)! She was kind, loving, and Barley came home happy. We would definitely use her again. Thank you Karrie!”
“This was our first time using Rover to board our dogs for a weekend at the lake. We were very pleased with Nate and his communication. Would definitely board our dogs with Nate again. Thank you!”
“Holly loves her time with Marilyn. Walks in the woods, swim time and pups to play with- what’s not to love! Marilyn sent photos and updates daily and Holly came home good and tired. She even made a new best friend in Nova. Will definitely use Marilyn again. The best 😃”
“Tamber was wonderful, so patient and kind. She provided daily photos, videos and updates! So thankful for she was available to care for Bo. I would highly recommend Tamber!”
“I was very anxious about leaving my also very anxious dog. She has bad separation anxiety but Bailee did a wonderful job of showing understanding and patience with my girl. She kept me updated on how she was doing everyday and made me feel more comfortable leaving my dog in her care. I would definitely recommend her and I will absolutely book her again sometime!”
“Kelsey and family were so accommodating to our timid, anxiety filled dog. He had a great time playing, we got updates and photos, and he came home a very happy, tired boy :) Will definitely book with them again!”
“Lauren was fantastic with Bigs ! Bigs is a 3 year old German shorthair with tons of energy. She let him run around her backyard and he had a great time playing with her dog! She was also very accommodating during pick up and Bigs had a great time. Would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a safe place to board! She also gave me updates while I was away and I really appreciated that!”
“Allen was great with our golden doodle! Our dog came home pooped from all of the playing he got to do. Allen even gave him a bath before I picked him up which if you know our dog that is very impressive! Thanks again Allen!”
“Austin was great with our boy Loki. He made sure to introduce his dog to Loki in a manner that was safe for both dogs and they ended up really loving to play together all weekend. Austin made sure to get correct feeding instructions and asked about Loki’s preferences. I really felt at ease leaving Loki with Austin. I got updates and photos/videos during Loki’s stay which was great!”
About: Taken care of family dogs since 2010, ranging from small to large breeds. Experience in caring for more than one dog at a time. Comfortable walking small to large dogs. I have my own dog, she is a 2 year old dachshund-poodle mix who loves to play with dogs. I trained her since she was a puppy and is fully vaccinated and house-trained. Will provide loving care for your pets as I would my own. Full-Time student at KU. I live close to campus and can provide pet care in between classes throughout the day. Free availability on weekends and holidays. In class starting in August from 9am-3pm MWF, 12pm-6pm on Tuesday, and 12pm-2pm on Thursday. I have free periods on MWF to check in on pets and provide meals or walks. I live in an apartment complex with walking trails and a dog park to provide outdoor exercise. I also have one small (20lbs) female dog who is spayed, fully vaccinated, and trained. My dog loves other dogs and is used to living with small to large dogs. I have pet cameras with motion detection in my apartment so I can monitor pets if I’m in class; I am able to speak through the pet cameras in case any issues arise while I’m away briefly. I also have a small dog crate if needed.
“Cal and their dog Rory did such a fantastic job watching Stella for me that I’ve already asked them to keep her again. Stella could not have gotten more love anywhere and she had a great time. Cal sent me pictures and updates multiple times a day and couldn’t have been greater. I wholeheartedly recommend them!”
“We could not have been more pleased with the care Rue received from Mike and Jenn. She can occasionally be a nervous or aggressive dog, but she seemed to enjoy her stay with them.”

Cheryl was great! I was worried Daisy might not get along with the other dogs but Cheryl assured me they'd be fine and they were. Within an hour I had a picture from her of them playing in the backyard. She sent texts and photos every day and I was very relieved (I'm an over anxious dog mom). Highly recommend Cheryl. Will definitely use her again.
Lauren took great care of my puppy she was very attentive to everything with her and provided consistent pictures of her throughout her stay. She would update me daily to ensure I knew how my puppy was doing and kept her active which she needs at this stage in her life. I would 100% recommend Lauren to other pet owners and will definitely be booking with her again.
I was very anxious about leaving my also very anxious dog. She has bad separation anxiety but Bailee did a wonderful job of showing understanding and patience with my girl. She kept me updated on how she was doing everyday and made me feel more comfortable leaving my dog in her care. I would definitely recommend her and I will absolutely book her again sometime!
Tamber was super responsive the entire time and communicated regularly, which I really appreciated. She also sent photo updates of my dogs so I always knew they were doing well. Her fenced-in yard was a huge plus and made things really convenient for our senior dogs. I could tell she was really sweet and patient with my older pups. I would definitely use her again!
Sarah and her son were wonderful with my elder dog. She took good care of the house, sent photo updates, responded promptly to all communications and overall was a pleasure to work with. When she returned the key, my dog was very happy to see her. That says it all.
