“I must admit that I was extremely nervous about leaving my newly adopted fur child anywhere without me. I had only had him for 5 days. I didn't yet really know him. He didn't know me. To complicate matters, I knew nothing about the family I was choosing to board him with. I could write a book just about the fear and anxiety this whole process was causing. Unfortunately, the medical crisis in my family, made this decision a necessity. Thankfully, Leo and his family came along through Rover Inc. I was immediately comforted, in seeing the measures which had been taken outside the home, to ensure the security and safety of the dogs. The sense of comfort greatly increased, after receiving the first video from Leo, with my dog Blessing, playing and running with their dog Sammie. The large snow covered yard was protected by a very high durable fence, which they couldn't escape even if they wanted to. Trust me when I tell you they were having too much fun. Texts kept coming, videos continued appearing, photos were reassuring, and the Leo family had proven the validity of the many positive reviews I had read. If you listen closely, you will hear the sound of me exhaling. I was so waiting to do so. I realized that Leo and his family, including Sammie, were wonderfully placed to care for this special dog, and that they indeed, were the blessing. My Blessing will have regular 'DOGGIE PLAY DATES' with Sammie and the Leos. For that we are most thankful!”


About: I have years of experience with animals, I have a lovely fences backyard and a nearby park to walk the dogs. Plenty of space to sleep freely in the house or if needs crated, I have. For dogs they would be walked daily as I am close to a nice park with a walking path. They will have plenty of time to play outside. For now I am home all day so I will be with pets constantly. For dogs I have a nice fenced yard to play in. For cats they are kept separately in the house from other animals. I do have one cat and one dog in the home.

“Very happy with the service Wendy provided boarding my 2 rambunctious dogs! I got daily pics or videos, and regular updates on how they were doing. They were in perfect condition when I picked them up, and we even got a take-home gift bag full of toys & treats! Will definitely call on Wendy when I need to board them again.”



“Cassandra has been absolutely amazing! She treats my puppy Hades like he’s her own. Every fear I had while considering leaving my new 8 week puppy with someone completely disappeared after meeting her. She truly loves and cares about all the dogs she watches. She constantly sends me descriptive updates every day and tons of pictures and videos, you can tell he feels right at home staying with her. I can’t imagine letting anyone else take care of my baby. You rock Cassandra!”


“Heather sent photos and texted me updates about my pups each day that I was away. My pups came back to me happy and healthy and I couldn’t have been more appreciative!”


About: I was raised in a farm family and within my father's exotic bird business. I've been taking care of a variety of types of animals since I was a child. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to care for their pets. I have experience working as a dog daycare and kennel employee. I have two dogs of my own and enjoy being an animal caregiver. I have experience rendering first aid. I know what it is to want peace of mind while away from my own pets and I enjoy providing that for other pet people. I love that working with animals teaches me about what it is to be human. I have a flexible schedule to focus on caring for your animal family member. I have plenty of time and attention to devote to spending time with pets. I will treat your service with the utmost professionalism and render the same care and concern to your pets I give to looking after the needs of my own.

About: I have had animals ever since I was born and was tasked with taking care of them at a young age. I have two animals myself and believe in treating every pet I see as part of my own family! I am trying to save up enough money to go back to school so help me help you and your furry friends! I work during the week from 8-5 but I am available anytime after 5pm and I am available any time on the weekends as well! I live in a single story ranch home with a large fenced in back yard. Your furry friend will be sharing space with 2 other corgis and cats. My dogs are very dog friendly and love making new friends. All precautions will be taken and I require at least one meet and greet with my dogs before accepting boarding.

She sent lots of pictures of her during her stay, and treated her just like one of her own dogs. I could tell that Colbie received lots of love and attention and was very happy. She got fresh chicken mixed with her food for dinner every night, and was even allowed to bring her favorite toy home with her. I will definitely be booking with Dana again in the future!”

“This was a great experience for our dog Lily, and therefore for us as well. This was our first time leaving our 3 year old golden, so we were a little apprehensive until we met Ashley and her 2 great dogs. We were gone for over a week and we never worried about our dog; we knew she was a good hands and getting lots of attention and great care. Ashley sent us pictures, videos, and updates. This was the first time Lily really had extended play with other dogs plus Ashley's kids; it was clear our dog was happy, safe, and probably didn't want to leave :-) Couldn't have asked for better care or a better experience. We highly recommend Ashley and hope to use her again soon!”

Samantha even provided door to door transportation for my pet to AND from my pet’s stay. Samantha will continue to be my first choice for all my pet sitting needs. Her services are simply top-notch!”
