âIf I could give 100 stars I would! Above and beyond phenomenal!! My pups truly felt like home quirks and all. The updates were amazing and made me belly laugh. Communication before and during was above and beyond. I never leave my pups with anyone and they made the process so easy!!â

âMy dog liked Jessica right away. He is a nervous dog, but was not nervous around her and he was happy when we picked him up. Jessica was very helpful and didn't mind introducing my dog to her cats and seeing how he was with them. Great experience!â

âJanae 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.â

âAbsolutely 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. Sheâs professional, warm, and clearly passionate about what she does. I wouldnât hesitate to book again this is truly a five star setup.â

âMy 3.5 month old puppy had a great time with Mark and his dog Foo. Mark was gracious enough to let my pup meet him and his dog a few days before she stayed with them all day. My pup came back to me tired and happy.â

âBest Rover sitter weâve had! Tara kept in touch the whole time and sent pictures so we didnât have to miss our pooch so much. We could tell our pup had been well cared for and comfortable when we picked her up. Thank you Tara, youâre the best!â

âAthena was fantastic. She was easy going, a great communicator, and clearly loves dogs. She took Max to the park, played fetch with him, taught him tricks, and made sure he played with his toys. She was also very flexible and I would absolutely recommend.â

âTalon/Savannah was great with our three standard poodles. She provided pictures and texted to let us know they were doing well - even though the puppy peed in the house...oops!!â

âGianna was absolutely amazing!! I booked her last minute because I really wanted to bring our dogs on the roadtrip with us but since we were going to a couple national parks I wanted them to have a better option to just sitting in the car. Which wouldnât have happened due to how hot it was. She has beautiful space for the dogs to run and they took to her immediately! My German shepherd usually takes a minute to trust but Gianna was exactly the kind of person she loves. We were on vacation so having someone with a little flexibility on the pickup/drop off times was important. Iâm not promising for her she can always do that, but she is willing when it works in her schedule and so gracious about it. I would book her again and again in a heart beat! You want someone whoâs kind, loves your animals, communicates consistently, and is flexible? Gianna fits that bill perfectly!â

About: Iâve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. Iâll have plenty of time to play with your pups and cats! Iâm available for boarding, walks, playtime, etc anyway after 2! I love on all fur babies as if they were mine. I love taking them to the parks, on walks, or spending countless hours out with them. I have a dog that loves to play and be around other dogs. I can easily create my dog if need be. Iâll have plenty of time to play with your pups or watch your fur baby! Iâm available for all services any time of the day. I have a fenced yard and 1 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if need be for any reason
About: I have been a dog owner/lover for the past 10 years. My experience extends to small dogs, large dogs, and reactive dogs. My property is 7 acre of quiet farm land in Hermosa. I have 2 dogs myself and they are very friendly and playful with other dogs. There would also be the option to keep our dogs separate if your baby is not comfortable with cohabitation. 1 acre fenced in yard as well as someone home at all times to let your baby out. I work in town on the weekdays but my partner works remotely meaning someone would be home at all times to let out the dogs. We have a 1acre fenced in yard the dogs can hang out in as well as plenty of space in the house. Dogs would be free to hang out in the house with no real restrictions unless otherwise stated by the owner.
âWe 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 sitterâs home before, but Margaret made the drop-off easy and sent tons of photos throughout the day to keep us updated. If youâre visiting and need someone you can trust, Margaret is fantastic.â

About: Everyone loves my own dogs and cats and they are always impressed by how friendly and smart they are for how I have trained them. You can train any animal to do anything with love, patience, and the right incentive! I am home all day with my own pets so it's easy for me to care for more. I have the flexibility to be able to leave home almost anytime, if and when needed. I have a fenced-in yard that is secure enough where both my cat and puppy play. My home is pet-proofed but I also have gates that I set up for every door or entryway to each room.
