Sumer went above and beyond! She was there for me in a time of crisis and I will never forget that. She helped me out and was very flexible when it was really needed. Also, my dogs love her! I can't believe how fast my shy guy came out of his shell for her! Yay Sumer! Thank you so much!

Traci provided a wonderful experience for my pup! It was my first time leaving her since I adopted her and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the whole experience. Traci made my girl feel right at home and sent me updates and pictures that really eased any worries I may have had. I will definitely request Traci again in the future.

Tanya was absolutely amazing with our dog Toby! From our first meet and greet, she was warm, professional, and clearly experienced with pets. While we were away, she sent daily updates and photos that showed Toby was relaxed, happy, and getting lots of love and attention. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such capable hands. Tanya went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful. Highly recommend her to anyone on Rover!

About: I am a certified veterinary technician with an additional certification in massage and rehab therapy. I have been working in the animal care industry since 2012 and have worked with and trained dogs for a long as I can remember. I offer expert level care for medically complex cases and a fear free approach for anxious pets. I have experience working with anxious and aggressive dogs. Being crate trained is a must and I ask that you bring your pet's crate with you for overnight stays. Self- employed with a flexible schedule, I have all day availability and can also do early morning and late evening drop ins. I only take 1 client at a time so that I can give your pet's the care and attention they deserve. Because I only take one client at a time, I can offer a stress free stay for animal aggressive pets. All animals will be directly supervised or crated while boarding

Sheryl was excellent! We are so happy that we found her; this is the first time we have ever left our precious girl with someone else. Sheryl's descriptive background and love for both Jack Russell and Chihuahua breeds made our decision more easy to leave our girl in her hands. Sheryl allowed us to do an initial meet and greet and Destiny seemed very comfortable, she even had a bin for Destiny's belongings ready and waiting for her visit. While we were away Sheryl sent daily text messages and even videos reassuring us that she was doing well and having a good stay! On the day we picked her up Sheryl presented us with a little token of love and thank you for allowing her to be able to care for Destiny. Thank you Sheryl for taking such good care of our baby, we WILL be back!

About: I love animals more than people 😂 Safety is always my number one priority, and snuggles are a close second. While I don’t consider myself a professional dog trainer, I have a lot of hands-on experience training my own dogs and enjoy doing fun, light basic training with pups who are willing participants. Above all, my goal is to make your pet feel completely comfortable and happy in my care whether that means going for walks, getting extra snuggles, or engaging in a little positive, low-pressure training. I work part-time for my family business and have the flexibility to take my work with me anywhere. That means your pet gets plenty of attention and care! I truly love animals and make them a natural part of my daily life, it’s something that brings me a lot of joy and fulfillment I have three playful, friendly, and highly socialized dogs in my home. Crating is available if needed for your pet’s comfort and safety. My yard features a secure 6-foot privacy fence with plenty of space for your dog to run, play, and explore.

Thomas & Emily are the best pet sitters ever. The love & attention given to Abbey was exceptional. Abbey loved playing with Monster & she was treated like their own which made it so much easier to be away. We loved the updates, photos & video. Meds were also given morning & night. We highly recommend Thomas & Emily. We will definitely use them again. Thank you both so much.

Dana is AMAZING!!! Skylar has such a fun time at her house and she made new friends. Dana sent us pictures and updates of our Skylar everyday which I loved to see. I would definitely refer her to everybody around and also will contact her again if we happen to need someone to watch Skylar again. Five stars!!!

Christina did a great job caring for my little Yorkie Shamrock while I was out of town. My dog is shy with new people. She knew what to do and quickly won him over so he was comfortable with her. She was able to take him on walks during the day. I would highly recommend her for your pet care needs.

I was thinking Casper may not want to come home, as it looked like he was having a good time and being spoiled. He was allowed on their sofa and on the bed (things he doesn't get to do at home, at least not while I'm in the room). Great experience and Emily has 2 boys that also gave Casper a lot of attention. I will definitely rebook again as needed.

Shalyn, Joseph and their family were awesome with our Jazzi and Lady! Sadie, their dog is super friendly and easy going. They all got a long great! The kids pampered our fur babies and we're so gentle with them. Fenced in yard and plenty of room to run. They walked them regularly and updates were super. We are lucky to have found them here on Rover. Highly recommend!

Jacqueline and her family took excellent care of our pups. They were patient with our pups despite the challenges they presented. We received regular updates that included videos and text. I knew they were in good hands and this allowed us to enjoy our time away. I will choose them every time we are away for an extended time. You should pick her too!

Previously brought our Maiya and our dog enjoyed her time so much we brought both our dogs back. Keeps regular updates, we enjoy the funny photos of the dogs and our dogs got the space to run around freely and on a leash for walks around the land. We are very grateful to Sabrina and her family for the hard work they do keeping our dogs. Will always come back.

Elena and her family were great. From the start at drop off, I could tell our pup would be treated like family. She was really good about keeping me updated on how things were going on a frequent basis. She sent us some great pictures and a few brief summaries of how the day went. Two weeks is a long time to take someone else’s dog for any reason but I’m really happy it was Elena and her family. Will try to use her again if they’re willing.
