“Our pup Fern had a wonderful 3 day visit with Ashley. She has a lovely house and fully fenced backyard for playing. Fern loved playing with her dog Penny. Ashley provided multiple daily updates and photos to keep us assured that Fern was doing well and having a great time. Highly recommend. We will definitely use her again.”

“Lindsey, Leland, and their kids took amazing care of our 13-year-old Golden Retriever, Callie. She had injured her back leg about a month before her stay, and they were incredibly thoughtful in managing her needs. They made sure she got all her medications and adjusted her walks based on what she could handle. I’m pretty sure Callie felt like she was at a spa—between the gentle attention, extra brushing, and love from their three wonderful kids, she was clearly in great hands. I accidentally mixed up the pickup date by a day, but Lindsey and Leland were incredibly accommodating and kept Callie that extra day without hesitation. I was so relieved, knowing she wouldn’t have to be shuffled to a different home just for one night. Throughout her stay, they regularly updated us with photos—Callie lounging in the grass, out on a walk, or happily curled up in someone’s lap. The peace of mind they gave us was priceless. If I could give Lindsey and Leland six stars, or more, I absolutely would. They went above and beyond in every way.”

“Wendy and her husband were so nice during the meet and great and tour of their vast property. The property had a great country feel and lots of space for our dog to play with supervision. She explained how the dog kennels worked, which were a great size with open air and heated indoor area. Wendy answered all of our questions and was a great communicator before, during and after. Our Golden Retriever gravitated to her from day one. She was boarded from drop off on 11/22 to pickup on 11/29. Absolutely loved the videos and photos she sent during that time showing our girl happy and playing her heart out. Upon arriving back at home our golden had a nice long nap and was back to her normal routine upon waking up, which says a lot. We felt the boarding fees were appropriate and are grateful to have found Wendy. We would highly recommend her and will continue using her services.”

“Fred and Isabelle were absolutely amazing! It was Jasper’s first time boarding and they were great at making him feel at home and giving updates to reassure us he was doing well. We will definitely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you for taking such awesome care of Jasper!”

“Kara did an excellent job caring for our dog and took care of him as if he was her own dog. She was willing and able to keep his general daily routine which kept him comfortable, happy and healthy. She was attentive to his needs and sent regular updates with photos. Kara is a wonderful and loving sitter and I highly recommend her.”

“Shaunett went above and beyond taking care of our dog! She is AMAZING!!! He was showered with attention and love and looked so happy on the daily photo updates. He loved the big backyard, playing fetch, and taking walks. She is kind, communicated daily, and totally spoiled him! Our dog was so comfortable and content when we picked him up. You can tell she loves dogs! Highly 100% recommend and can hardly wait to make my dog's day and book another stay with her. Thanks again- Juliana Cloud”

“Rebecca was great! From meet and greet to pick up we’d definitely recommend. Our pup was tired and happy when he got home from his weekend with her. She gave us peace of mind by sending photo updates and was easy to work with for pick up and drop off. Her place is a doggy heaven, lots of space and friends to explore it with.”
“Stacy was just what our dog needed. Her home is very pet friendly and Stacy knows how to handle the dogs. She limits the amount of pets she takes in which was helpful for our dog who gets overwhelmed. Our dog played great with her dog and came home tired and happy.She had such a great time with Stacy- it was like a dog sleep over!”


“Heather was amazing. She is an excellent communicator and gave regular updates. After a week, my dog had clearly bonded with her so I will definitely look to use her in the future.”

“This was our first time ever using Rover, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! They took such incredible care of our dog and truly treated her like one of their own. It was obvious she felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for the entire time she was there. She got along so well with their dog, and they played hard every single day, which made us so happy to see. We also really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and communication while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their dog. We wouldn't hesitate to book with them again!”

“Kelly & her family were so good with our dog Sherman. He is a basset hound and pretty needy and whiny and we appreciate that Kelly went above and beyond to keep him happy 😊 he was well taken care of and she sent daily pictures to let us know how he was doing. Will book again!”

“Alton & Valerie (and their kids) were absolutely wonderful with Phoebe! Their pup was a great playmate for her, too. They sent consistent updates and made sure both Phoebe and I were very comfortable. They were also very accommodating about my plans as they changed, which was very appreciated. Phoebe seemed incredibly happy when I picked her up!”

“This was the first time we left our puppy Oakley and we were so nervous! Tammy put us right at ease from the beginning and she was so accommodating to Oakley’s needs. She was great to send messages and pictures daily of the things going on each day. Thanks Tammy for taking great care of our pup!”

“I was so nervous about leaving my dog with anyone, but Heidi not only made me feel comfortable leaving him with her, she updated me with photos and videos while I was away. It was so nice to see my little guy happy and enjoying his time with play, food, and sleeping. Thank you Heidi! Super Rock Star!”

“Carolyn is amazing!! She cared for my babies for 2.5 days and sent me pics every day! She was very sweet to my babies and was easy to reach. I felt comfortable not having to worry about them!”

About: I've worked with many breeds of dogs. Mostly small to mid-size dogs with a variety of traits. Mostly working dogs namely Blue Heelers & Huskys. I tend to live an active lifestyle and that means hiking/walking/and lots of exercise. Rest assured both me and your pooch will be getting a good workout! In the past I've facilitated overnight lodging for dogs, and temporary stays of up to a few days. Be noted I do not currently have a large open or fenced in yard. I work with neighbors and friends pets on quite a regular basis! I regularly feed, train, walk & care for pets when away or on business! I work from home so this environment provides a perfect spot for pets to be nurtured & played with consistently! I always check prior to booking any special exercise and or dietary needs of your pet. Ensuring door remain locked when inside and timer's are set for when pets receive food upon client preference. Safety is of the upmost priority, so I will discuss a full plan and schedule so you know where you pup is and his progress while away. I will send regular check in photos to provide accountability for myself and the clients well being.

“Katie was excellent with our girl, Charley. She sent me pictures daily and kept me informed on how she was doing. Charley almost didn’t want come home, she had such a good time with the other dogs and with Katie. I highly recommend Katie to take care of your 4-legged family members and we will definitely be using her services again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 25 years. At one point I ran a certified rescue where I fostered and trained shelter dogs. I understand and love dogs of all sizes, breeds and personalities. I work from home and have flexibility with my schedule. I’m able to provide all kinds of care on any schedule including walks, playing in my yard or trips to dog parks or trails if that’s what you would like for your pup. I have a good sized split level home and a well fenced secure big backyard. There’s a dog door for outdoor porch and backyard access. Your pups will never be left unattended. Dogs are welcome everywhere in my home including beds and couches.

Excellent experience for both my dog Sammie and me. She took to Ashley and her family immediately. Warm friendly environment. They went above and beyond caring for Sammie. Pictures came daily. Oh so appreciated that perk. I highly recommend Rover and Ashley was such a blessing.
