“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!”

About: I have taken care of pets most of my life. I have either had dogs of my own or cared for friends and family pets. I have 2 teenage daughters who also love animals. They each have a caged pet in their room. My older daughter has a mouse and my younger daughter has a hamster. I do work full time but am available after 5pm during the week and all day most weekends. I do not have any dogs of my own so yours would have my full attention when I have them. I do live in an apartment building but there is a pet area that we could play at and plenty of walking areas around the complex. I have space to put a crate if needed for your pet.
“Our Stevie was treated very well with Nichole and her family. She was very accommodating even though it was a holiday week. We appreciated the photos and that she even took our dog out for pup cups. We would definitely recommend and use again.”

“Krysten & her family are honestly the best! Our little one gets so much love while staying with her. She is also so flexible with us. After not having a super smooth travel day, she was so accommodating. Would recommend Krysten to everyone!!”

“I highly recommend Jayne. Great communication with pictures during the stay. Can’t say enough good things about her and the family. My Maltese was so happy, played, played and played. She was in great hands; I hope to use their service again.”

“Mikayla was so kind when I had a family emergency and needed to leave town in a hurry. My puppy had a great time (she's told me all about it) and the family was really nice. ❤️”

“Kryz is absolutely awesome! She is very knowledgeable, thoughtful and caring and kept us updated on how our dog was doing while she was in her care. I highly recommended Kryz!!!”

“Lindsay and her family were absolutely amazing with our pup. We have never left her with anyone but family and I felt so comfortable throughout the entire weekend. Our pup absolutely loved spending time with them and was well taken care of. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend. We will definitely be sending her there again! ?”

“Excellent my experience, first time using this app, worried that everything is fine with my dog, but Corey and Lauren gave me peace of mind, sending me photos and videos every day, very grateful to them”

“Highly recommend Melissa. Her replies are quick, within moments, she cared for Addie for the day and I returned to a very calm happy pup. It was cute when we arrived her mini Aussie ran out to greet my dog and was very sweet and put us both at ease quickly. Will book again.”

“Christina B is an absolute Rockstar hero. She and her family helped my boy and I when in a tough spot. They truly extend themselves around those that come into their care. I picked him up and though he was excited to see me I know they made their home his too. I cannot express enough gratitude for her professionalism and care.”

“Chelsey was great and pretty flexible since I was out of state. I never had the chance to meet ahead of time because of my schedule, but I couldn’t be happier with how she treated me and my cat! Chelsey sent me nice updates and plenty of pictures over the week, which was especially nice over the holidays. I would absolutely book with her again!”

“This was my first time using Rover and/or boarding our cat. Maria was so kind and thoughtful with answering all my questions and giving updates! Every picture she sent really showed how comfortable my cat was getting and that she was making sure to give him love and attention. We would absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone.”

“Jamie was absolutely amazing with my dog, Winnie! She took such great care of her and truly went above and beyond. I got lots of picture updates throughout the day, which made me feel so at ease while I was gone. Winnie adored her! she was spoiled with attention, love, and plenty of fun. It’s clear Jamie treats pets like her own, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Paige was so friendly! She was an amazing communicator and sent us constant updates on how our ‘baby’ was doing. You can tell our dog was really loved on! I would definitely rebook with Paige!”

“Sheila is fantastic! We’ve done multiple house visits and boarding at her home. She treats our dog like her own. Gives great communication, photos, videos and hilarious commentary from our dogs perspective. She’s been great and reassuring as our old guy goes through some health issues. I know without a doubt that our dog is receiving tremendous care and love when we’re away.”

“Amy is very pleasant and responded in a timely manner to messages. Rori was well taken care of and in good spirits when we picked her up. I would be very comfortable leaving her with Amy and Trevor again.”
