“Nicholas is very friendly and communicative. He sent regular daily updates via photo and video of my cat. My cat warmed up to the space within a couple days and was way more comfortable there than we would’ve been at a kennel. Highly recommend for a safe and comfortable place for your pet!”
“Excellent!! Charlie and Lisa were flexible and were easy to work with around our schedule. They took careful care of our 12-year-old Parson Russell Terrier. We highly recommend their services, and we will schedule their care for our next visit to the Bradenton area.”
“We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our special gal was in great hands and being loved on every day. Thank you so much for taking care of our fur baby. Communication was great and enjoyed receiving the photo updates daily.”
“Bonita and her family provided excellent care for my pups. I received several updates with pictures throughout the day. When we picked up our pups, we can tell they felt comfortable with the family are were loved.”
“Kathrin was kind, professional, and very responsive. Her home is clean and in a nice neighborhood and our little Minnie seemed to have had a great time with her family. Kathrin took Minnie on walks and sent lots of photo updates. She takes very professional looking photos so that was an added bonus! Would highly recommend 👍🏽”
About: I currently have 2 dogs of my own, an 8 year old Dutch Shepherd & a 5 year old Golden Retriever. They are my absolute babies, and my life revolves around them. I’ve grown up around all sorts of dogs & cats, and am extremely comfortable around them. I live an active lifestyle and walk my dogs 1.5 miles daily. My biggest stressor when traveling is finding adequate care for my boys, so I know what it’s like finding the perfect care solution for your pets. I do in house visits, walks, dog boarding, anything and everything your pet may need. I work a rotation schedule at work, so I’m 2 days on 2 days off, so my schedule is all over the place but also allows me to provide coverage during the week and weekends. I can do home visits, dog walking, dog boarding, oral medication, specialty feedings, dog enrichment, and anything your pet would need to thrive in your absence.
“KK was absolutely amazing!!! She provided updates and photos every day and helped us feel so at ease being away from our sweet dog. Her home was beautiful and so pet friendly, and she was the perfect fit for us! I have already sent her to some friends as a recommendation and will be using her again! Goldie loved her stay at KK’s! 🤍”
“Luna is very shy, he had no issues meeting before hand to make sure they got along. Luna warmed up so fast and had no issues over her stay. I can not thank him enough!”
“Lizbeth and Earl went above and beyond in caring for our girls while we were out of town! I loved the texts and pictures they sent daily to let us know how they were doing. We will definitely use them again!”
“Christal was great! My family and I enjoyed a nice vacation in Siesta Key with peace of mind that our dog was being taken care of nearby. Christal’s location was very convenient to our vacation spot and she sent photos of our pup throughout the stay. Would definitely recommend!”
“Debbie was wonderful. She took good care of my toy poodle and she was very communicative and always kept me up to date during my dogs stay. I would highly recommend as she will give you the best service”
“Paul made this a great experience for me. Leaving my dog for the first time for more than a couple hours was a little scary for me. He sent pictures every day showing how happy my dog was. He got one on one attention got to swim in the pool and lots of walks. Thank you so much Paul for making my dog Gronk feel right at home.”
“Meghan took such good care of Hudson! When he was picked up we could tell he was well cared for, happy, and tired out from all of the playing while we were gone :) she was also very accommodating when I realized that our flights were at a different time than I thought and agreed to have him early! We will definitely be re-booking!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Longboat Key
Diana took a last minute boarding for us as we were in town from Denver but had car troubles and didn’t get to ski as planned. Her taking our reservation made it so we could get a few runs in before we left and still make sure our pup was taken care of! She only had her for a few hours but took her on a walk, let her sun bathe and sent photos throughout her stay. Would book her again next time we’re in big sky!
