âLacie and her family have become a part of our family. Our aged Havanese is about at the end of her adventurous journey in life. She has spent a large majority of her life swimming and sailing the Chesapeake Bay. Her little body is about worn out. We keep our trips to a minimum and when we do leave, we can always depend on Lacie to provide the best utmost care anyone could ever provide. Lacie has been a godsend in both Emma and our lives. There aren't enough words to thank Lacie and her family as to what she has meant to us. Thank you dearest Lacie.â

âAnn & Jaren are fantastic. It definitely made our trip easier knowing that our dog was in loving hands. The picture updates were a nice a touch. Ann & Jaren will be our go-to for any future travels.â

âMichelle and Dale provided excellent care to our Sapphire. This was our first experience with Rover and will surely be rebooking with Rover Michelle and Dale in the future. They even provided for drop off service at our home as a courtesy. 5 star all the way. -Marcâ

âDebbie was marvelous! We were a little nervous as our Abbey is a 13 year-old 3-pound chihuahua who is almost blind and Ghirardelli is a 6-pound bouncy poodle. Debbie has four dogs of her own. Two are huge boyzois! No worries-all four of her fur babies were very, very sweet! Debbie cuddled Abbey and our babies slept with her grandson which they absolutely loved!!! We got pics and updates every day. Debbie even waited up for our late flight so that we could get our babies as soon as we got back home. Best puppy B&B ever!!! We will be back, Debbie.â

âSo thankful Diane was able to watch Bootsie for a couple of days. I can tell she treated her as if she was her own. Boots got taken on a walk, had a huge yard to sniff around in, and I got multiple pictures throughout her stay.â

âErin took great care of our sweet dog, Lily. She was easy to communicate with, replied quickly, and sent pictures to let us know how much fun Lily was having playing in the river with Erin. I will be using her again, soon, and would highly recommend her to anyone!â
âKaLynn and her husband were wonderful. Last minute booking and had never use Rover before. Communication was great. We felt comfortable leaving both our pups. KaLynn provided updates and pictures and noted an issue with Sadie's eye. After consulting with me and her mom, a vet tech, she asked if she could give Sadie Benadryl to help with the itching. KaLynn even provided a couple of Benadryl upon pick up until I can get Sadie to the vet on Monday. THANK YOU for taking great care of Sadie and Tula. Would book with you again!â

âJames was courteous, responsive and professional. Max had a positive experience and was happy, healthy and had clearly enjoyed his stay when I picked him up. We will use James again.â

âJordan and her family were great! Weâll definitely try to use her services next time. Our trip was a last minute scheduling and she was very accommodating with the meet and greet. She was very responsive and graceful with a lot of last minute changes on our end.â

âRyan gave excellent care to my senior dog and rambunctious young one while I was away for a week! She kept in touch and sent pictures frequently. I highly recommend this sitter!â

âMegan was very responsive, kind, and took great care of our 6 month old puppy Ralfie. He got to play a lot and enjoy their beautiful space they have in Asheville. We got lots of photos and updates along the way. Thank you, Megan!â

âI was a little nervous about leaving Bella with people I hadn't met but I was thrilled with the way Katie walked me through it. Bella was happy and I could tell they took care of her like family! They will be my first choice always! Thank you Katie and Jeremy!â

âJessie was well cared for and the updates and pictures showed a happy girl. Charlene has a great set up and perfect for my girl. Highly recommend her amd look forward to using her againâ

âGreat experience. Lisa kept us up-to-date and informed daily. Really enjoyed the easy process and she asked lots of relevant questions about our pup prior to drop off. Highly recommended.â

âShadow can sometimes have a hard time with separation anxiety but he loves being at Calvinâs. He runs to the door and doesnât look back. It gives us such peace of mind knowing that he is in the best hands while we are away. We have used Calvin multiple times over the last few months and we will definitely be using his services for our next trips as well. He sends plenty of pictures, takes him on lots of walks and even has his own treats to give Shadow.â

About: I have taken care of pets as long as I can remeber. People ask me to help them with their pets all the time. Your pets are part of your family. I will treat them as the treasures they are. I am available every day from 7:30 am to 7 pm. With those hours it gives me a lot of time to keep your fur baby entertained and fed. I know that for my own clan of animals that I prefer to board them at home. I like to offer the same service to my clients. Kenneling at home keeps your pet comfortable in surroundings they are used to. I can swing by to feed them, walk them, and just keep them company at least twice a day.
âCara is so great and patient with my dog Rosie. Had to go out of town unexpectedly and she was able to take her without much warning. Such a relief to have someone reliable and local for her. Thank you.â

âAdaira is incredible! She is calm and open. We were prepared to meet their other two dogs and Koda then joined the pack for 10 days! We quickly built trust and understanding. She even gave him some flair on Halloween and did a photo shoot đ I truly cannot recommend her services enough. Koda got to go on plenty of adventures. I am so grateful! He loves her much. He made sure to say goodbye before he hopped in the car. Being such a smart dog, I can tell how much rapport they built.â
âLauren was great, I am always so nervous leaving my dog with sponge and she did great to keep me updated and sent a ton of photos so I know he was being well cared for!â

I would definitely leave my pup with Ashley again, in fact, I'm so glad I have someone I can count on to take care of my dog when needed. Asha was a bit reluctant to be in a new space with new people (as she always is), but Ashley went above and beyond to help Asha feel safe and comfortable. Thank you, Ashley!

Michael did a fantastic job caring for River while we were gone for 5 days. He did a meet and greet prior so that the dogs could get acquainted and I could see his house before booking. He was super communicative and attentive throughout the stay. He took River on multiple walks and played with him in his large backyard. Iâd highly recommend leaving your pup with Michael for any boarding needs.
