My wife Malaika and I joined rover because we love dogs but aren’t quite ready to get our own dog. We love taking long walks around F&M college, so we’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of walks in. We’ll give your dog lots of attention, belly rubs, and cuddles.

Austin was amazing! He was thorough with taking notes and understanding what my fur baby needed to stick with her routine. Communication was consistent throughout and I never had to wonder how things were going. I had confidence throughout that Roxy was in good hands. Everything went great!

Austin and his wife are certified dog lovers and the most responsible and lovely dog sitters we have found! They truly get to know the personality of your dog so they can make your dogs time as stress free as possible. They went above and beyond and brought our dog to our wedding! We felt complete having him at our special day and knew he was safe with them. We recommend them for every service possible and will make the 2 hour journey to them for boarding in the future because they are simply worth it.

Russell had an amazing stay! The host was very flexible with my drop off time and made an exception to not having met Russell before. Russell typically won’t eat in unfamiliar places but Due to their hospitality Russell was comfortable almost immediately and ate every meal. 10/10 recommend this host.

Austin and Makaila were wonderful with Mel!! They took incredible care of her, showering her with affection, and were extremely responsible. Communication was great the whole time—they sent us plenty of pictures and texts, which we absolutely loved and which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. The best part was seeing how happy and comfortable Mel was with them, especially during her twice-daily walks. She came home soooo happy and relaxed—that was the cherry on top of our spring break week. We can’t wait to book with Austin and Makaila again!

Very pleasant couple that took care of Georgia while we had a small weekend getaway! They were very attentive to Georgia and gave her long walks. We were kept up to date with photos also which was nice!
