“I have booking with alba for probably about a month now. She is very sweet and my shy puppy loves it over there! She works very well with my work schedule and keeps me updated so I’m not worried about my puppy at work.”
“Amazing person with lots of love for our fur-baby Peanut. Received many pictures & little notes plus a few videos of her playing - running ❤️ Our Peanut always looked happy! She received treats & lots of toys - playtime.. I was even told she wants a "octopus" was her favorite toy while there 😁 Nothing but good to say .. Highly recommend 👍 Thanks Alena & Caroline”
“Excellent care, plus fabulous updates and communication through the day! It was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter, and she made it easy. We would definitely recommend and hope to use Gianna’s services again in the future.”
“Mark has the two sweetest dogs, and a big space for the dogs to run around in. We are very thankful for him for watching our gal while we explored the national parks in the area”
“We are so happy to have found Susan on Rover. She cared for our pup Fern while we were in town on vacation. Some of the places we visited didn’t allow dogs, so having her cared for while we were sightseeing was such a blessing. Susan was amazing, she sent us many texts and videos of the adventures they took together. Fern had such a great time and we felt so comfortable that she was in good hands. We highly Susan, she’s a gem!!”
“Absolutely amazing experience! I needed a dog sitter on very short notice, and she came through like a pro. Not only did she welcome my dog with open arms, but she also made a personalized, super cute welcome sign just for him which was such a thoughtful touch. The place itself is beyond anything I expected: each dog gets a private, spacious room and their own section of a beautiful backyard. It felt more like a luxury retreat than a kennel. Everything was spotless, safe, and clearly designed with real care and attention. She’s professional, warm, and clearly passionate about what she does. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again this is truly a five star setup.”
“Janae was great! Our puppy Pan loved to play with her puppy and even out older girl Lyra had fun. Lyra LOVED Janae's husband right from the start and she normally takes a while to warm up to strangers. Would use her again if we were in town.”
“We were so lucky to find Margaret for a last-minute daycare need while visiting the area. All the local boarding places were full, and we truly lucked out finding her. It was our first time using Rover, and she made us feel completely at ease from the beginning. Zoe had never stayed at a sitter’s home before, but Margaret made the drop-off easy and sent tons of photos throughout the day to keep us updated. If you’re visiting and need someone you can trust, Margaret is fantastic.”
About: I have had several different types of animals in my life since I was born, and my Dad is a professional Dog trainer,so I am comfortable with a variety of different dogs, cats, and dispositions! I'm currently working part-time from home so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I love to walk so taking your Dog on a walk during their stay is easy! In my home, pets are treated like family. I make sure the space is safe, clean, and calm, with plenty of cozy spots for naps and supervised playtime. I never leave pets unattended and in unsafe situations and never have pets from multiple families at the same time. I follow any routines or rules you provide so your pet feels comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine. I keep doors and gates secure, clean up after play or feeding, and make sure they always have fresh water, food, and attention. My goal is to create a stress-free, loving environment—whether at your home or mine—so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.
