“I know our 1 year old Golden Retriever had a great time staying with Grace. It was so nice that she picked him up from our house and dropped him off.”

Rachel M.

“This was our first time using Rover. We contacted Anna and asked to meet her before boarding with her. She met us at a park and our boy took to her immediately. While we were away, he was well take care of and spoiled rotten (we didn’t expect anything less). Anna sent us updates with pictures, which we appreciated greatly. Thanks to Anna, we were able to enjoy our vacation and not worry about Caesar. We will definitely be booking with her again!!”

“This was the 1st time we've left Hero with anyone while we went out of town, but when we had our initial meet and greet with Christy, I felt comfortable leaving him. Christy sent us pictures and we laughed because he looked right at home. I definitely will be using Christy again and will be recommending her! Thank you Christy”

About: If you book with me I can assure you a safe, fun, and nurturing environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and expert attention for your loving animals. Peace of mind for you— paradise and tail wags for them! 💞🐾 I have extensive experience with cats and dogs. I’m 25 and I grew up with so many cats, dogs, reptiles, I have even helped rescue deer, owls, pigs, and goats before too! I specialize in dog training, I have been doing it for 7 years now and have loved every minute of it- it is my true passion!! ❤️ That is another great reason to book with me, since I am well equipped to handle the many behaviors dogs may experience during their stay, and doing it in a safe manner as well. I have trained and rehabilitated many dogs that had severe anxiety and aggression too, some of them eventually became service dogs because of how well they transformed into a better version of themselves! I’m experienced with many different breeds, ages, and sizes of dogs so I am well versed in knowing personalities and behaviors and how to handle them in any way. ❤️😁 If you book with me your dog will experience fun activities such as enrichment toys, puzzle games, walks on trails, public outings such as to stores, parks, certain restaurants. They will also get to join pack walks, play time with other dogs, and one on one time with me! And if your dog is a couch potato 🥔 they can cozy up on the dog couch and enjoy their vacation in peace! 🏝️🐕💛 If you book with me your dog will experience a safe, fun, peaceful environment to where they will be excited to come back again! 🐾🎾 it is the opposite of when they go to the vet and have their tail tucked all nervously- your dog will have their tail wagging in the wind and jumping of joy as soon as you pull into my driveway because they know this is the place for fun and relaxation!! 🥳🥰🙌 All activities are very structured here. All dogs are supervised at all times when they are not crated, and when they are crated they are supervised by a camera I have connected to an app in my phone! Things are very structured in a sense of safety, behavior, and peace within all of the dogs during their stay. That’s where being a dog trainer comes in handy and the dogs can have fun while being in a calm state of mind! 😉🧘‍♀️💗🐾 I have three large dog yards- two are fenced in with 6ft privacy fence, and one yard is 6ft chain link fence. They can go potty, play, sun bathe, play in the dog pool, or just enjoy the fresh air. This is also nice if your dog isn’t aloud around other dogs- they will have their own large area to do their business and enjoy their time outdoors in a safe private area too!! 😌❤️ Cats love it here too! 🐈🐈‍⬛ your furry baby will get to enjoy toys, lick mats, cat castles and scratching boards. Even some cat nip if they’d like 🤪😸, and plenty of cuddles to “make biscuits”. 🥰🐾 If your dog can’t be around other dogs or cats, that is no problem here. I have plenty of room to give dogs and cats their own private space to still keep them at peace and accommodate to their needs during their stay! I like to match personalities within dogs so they can make great friends while they are on their vacation too!! It is also no problem if your dog/cat is on any medications as well- they will be issued them as directed during their stay and I am well experienced with that as well, so don’t worry about that! ❤️‍🩹🩺🐾 I always send plenty of updates by text with photos and videos during their stay so you don’t feel left out as I know it’s hard to leave our fur babies while we’re away! 📲📸🥰 If you book with me I can assure you your fur babies will have a blast and want to come back for more, there is plenty of love to go around here and I hope to meet your furry companions soon! 💞🐕🐕‍🦺🦮🐩🐈‍⬛🐈💞 I currently am a dog trainer, though I am still flexible and available to schedule at your convenience! Sometimes my mornings can be quite busy, but I will always do everything I can to exhaust all measures in making sure scheduling you isn’t a problem! I have 4 dogs- 2 German shepherds and 2 shepherd mix breeds. 3 are female 1 is male. I have 1 male indoor cat and 5 outdoor cats. I can assure your fur baby won’t feel lonely with the company of my own companions!! 💞 -I have multiple different rooms your fur baby can stay in if they need their own private space. -3 large fenced in yards. -structured play time with other dogs and solo play time. -pack walks and solo walks -public outings/hikes -crated when unsupervised to ensure safety of all dogs -enrichment toy/puzzle time each day to mentally stimulate and help soothe your dog -endless cuddles and love to go around 💗🥰🐾

“Britteny did a great job watching our dog in her house. She provided updates pictures and videos every day and was flexible with our schedule. We will be booking with her again.”

Aj & Virginia P.

“Taylor and her family were amazing! This was the first time we have ever used Rover, and we could not have had a better experience. Our dog, Miles, felt right at home the entire weekend he was with them, and he was very happy and content when he came home. Thank you all again for taking such good care of our pup! Y’all are the best—we’ll definitely rebook!”

Rebekah N.

“Kenan was quick to respond and easy to coordinate with! This was our first time leaving our English Shepherd , Sam, with a dog sitter and we couldn’t have had a better experience. We were able to take Sam to Kenan’s so he could get familiar with the area before his stay. Lots of room for dogs to run around and play. We also received several photos and updates while we were traveling, which gave us a peace of mind. Thank you so much Kenan for taking such good care of Sam. We will be back!”

Joy R.

“Kristen did a great job watching Koda! She sent daily updates, pictures of him, made sure he ate well, and had fun with him. If I’m in the area, I will book with Kristen again!”

Wendy D.

“Definitely a great place to board your babies! This was my first time boarding my dogs, so I was a bit nervous. But Jessica was so kind with her time & answering my questions & concerns. Kept in touch during my trip and when I picked them up they were happy and you could tell well looked after. I definitely will be boarding with Jessica in the future. Thank you!”

“This was our second time booking and it seemed like our boy was so excited to be with Essence! He seemed way more comfortable and happy to be there!”

Kelsey C.

“I was hesitant to try new pet sitter because we already had used another one here on Rover but he was not available so we gave Tyra a chance as she was next closest. If you read this review and are wondering yourself, she was awesome from drop off to pick up! I got more pics than I think I ever have of Coco… I’m pretty sure Coco is laughing, smiling and chatting with her new furry friends in the pictures! Lol…. She played a lot! Didn’t seem stressed at all or overly tired. It seems she had the vacation you want your fur baby to have if they can’t be with you! 5 stars Tyra! Thank you again!!”

Sean B.

“Lifesaver ! Jvonna took my booking request at the last minute and I couldn’t be more happier! She is truly amazing and I felt so comfortable & at peace that my pup was so comfortable in her home with her pups as well. Definitely would recommend & book her again in the future. My pup also made a friend with her pup so we got some future play dates ahead 😊”
