Megan and her family were really great with our baby girl Sage. She has anxiety, but they made her feel comfortable while we were gone for 5 days. She sent us plenty of photos and videos and always kept us updated. And Sage made some new fur Friends. We will most certainly be booking again. Thanks Megan!

Jackie was awesome!! This is the second time we left our babies with her. The babies were taken care of very well and enjoyed themselves while in her care. Jackie kept us up to date on how the babies were doing and sent several pictures that put us at ease and let us enjoy ourselves knowing that they were having a good time. Would definitely highly recommend Jackie, and we will definitely hire her again.

Milena was great! She treated my boy like one of her own. She was communicative and sent lots of pictures as I was initially anxious about leaving him. Thank you so much for treating him well! We will be booking with her again!

Cristen Michael and their son were fantastic. I got so many pictures and they loved on my old girl like she was their own. They even were able to get her to eat while I was gone, which is not something that normally happens. I will definitely be using them again!

My baby was so loved and happy with Elisabeth and her lovely family that he was upset when I had to take him home! There was good communication and pics. It was obvious from the beginning that this is an excellent place to leave your babies. So glad I found this family!!

Skylar loves meeting new friends and thoroughly enjoyed her stay. Krystal is nothing short of amazing and if I could give 100 Stars, I certainly would. Seeing daily pics of Skylar playing and smiling made my heart glad. Thanks for your patience with her Krystal; I know she was a handful.

Awesome and Pleasant Military orientated Couple!!! My sweat Venus greated me very cheerfully when I picked her up! These couple are very involved and cared for my furry baby as their Owen. Was updated with pictures in the morning and evenings plus videos daily. Daily they would have a to two miles of hiking. Katherine would update me with their daily significant adventure like I was reading a story book and help me to stay closer when I’m at a distance. A peaceful and safe wide open neighborhood! Highly trust my girl with them in the near future in my future TAD.

About: I have taken care of dogs for over 10 years. Overseas during covid that was my main job and I had over 25 clients. I can help with medications given, dog walks, dog check in or do in home boarding. I do live a short walk from a park, so can also do playtime and walks at the park as well! I am available for drop ins visits, long or short walks or boarding in my home. If you are Active Duty, going TDY, etc. Or just a fur parent with no help, please let me know ahead of time so I can help you the best I can! I have a fenced in back yard with a lot of space. I have 3 senior dogs that love other dogs, but I also have plenty of space to keep dogs separated if needed. I also live walking distance from my local park. Smoke free home.

This was my very first time booking on Rover and it was great! Richard is awesome, he kept me updated with pictures throughout the day. I was a bit nervous being that he was going to be keeping my pup overnight but he made me feel so comfortable and reassured me that she was in good hands, & she sure was! I am definitely booking again I loved how when I came to pick my pup up him and his grandmother came out to greet me was the sweetest thing! My pup Aya enjoyed them as much as they did her♥️
