“Edith was great with our puppy Artemis! We were able to meet beforehand for a short notice meet and greet before the holidays. Artemis got along really well with her two dogs and it seemed like he was having a lot of fun throughout the day- he came back exhausted and happy to see us after a couple of weeks, but we could tell that he was well taken care of. Edith sent frequent picture updates, and we felt like he was in good hands the whole time. I would definitely book Artemis here again in the future!”


“Gilian was an amazing choice for boarding my dog! First we did a meet and greet at a local dog park, and then welcomed my dog to her home for a week+ of boarding. My anxious pup felt comfortable here after a couple days, and was well cared for. We can't do boarding kennels because of my dog's anxiety, so I'm so glad we found this service! I got updates daily about activities and behavior, as well as photos and videos! Gilian is knowledgeable handling anxious dogs, and she has good techniques on introducing dogs to new environments, dogs and people to help ease anxiety. I highly recommend Gilian!”


“Bob is so wonderful, I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Joey! He was incredibly kind and funny and sent lots of photos and updates throughout the long weekend. Bob was also responsive to any messages and everything was so easy to coordinate, from the meet and greet, to drop off, to pick up, which we were able to time with our flight arrival perfectly. Joey was a very happy pup when I picked him up and we would love to board with Bob again!”


“Hazel stayed with Yoki and Derek for over a week and had a great time. I know that Hazel can be a handful and can demand a lot of attention at times. I felt like Yoki and Derek really understood Hazel’s needs and took very good care of her. I can tell that they treat all dogs in their care like family and that was wonderful to see. They are very generous and giving people. Their very big and spacious yard was great for Hazel to run around and play in. I also really appreciated the daily communication which was very important to me. I loved receiving videos, beautiful photos and updates on a daily basis and it gave me so much peace of mind and showed me that Hazel was well taken care of and was enjoying her stay. I’m very appreciative to Yoki and Derek for their work especially since I know this is not always an easy job to do.”


“Duane and Lauren are always so accommodating and flexible when we book with them! Our pup is always exciting to stay with them and it makes me happy to know she likes to be there! Thank you so much Duane and Lauren for always taking care of Stormi!”


“Kaycee and Robert did a great job with our little puppy Milton. We loved that Milton could play with their kids, run around in the backyard with their dog, and feel at home. He’s a handful and came home happy!”


“Joan is the best. She sent me daily updates and pictures of my baby. I hate being away from Randall, as many pet owners do, but it definitely gave me peace of mind having him with Joan. I knew he was being well taken care of and having a good time! Joan was responsive and easy to work with as well!”


“Emily was great with our dogs kept us updated on how they were doing and sent lots of pictures. I think the dogs we sad that we came back for them, and that they didn't get to stay longer.”


“Val took great care of my two dogs. He was very responsive, flexible with drop off/pick up times, and sent updates with pictures throughout their stay. I would definitely use him again in the future.”


“Amanda and her family are like a second family to our Rosie! Amanda is flexible, easy to communicate with and provides a great place for our pup when we’re out of town.”


“My mini poodle absolutely LOVES going to Camp Laura! Penny stayed with Laura recently for several days, and Laura took such amazing care of her. Penny got to walk and go to the dog park daily, play with Laura's pets and sleep in comfort each night. I never worry when Penny stays with Laura because Laura is so kind and caring. We will enlist Laura again when we need a safe and happy place for Penny! Thank you, Laura!”


“I could not ask for a better care provider for my Maltese Ollie, who has been cared for by only family members until recently! Hope went above and beyond to ensure that Ollie was comfortable while I was away. She invited Ollie and me to her home before committing to caring for Ollie. She was honest in sharing his daily joys and stressors, which was refreshing! She also provided suggestions to improve Ollie's comfort the next time I am away - too awesome!”



“Scott was so great! Came through and took such good care of Penny when we were in need last minute. She was happy and loved and we received nice updates. Will definitely have him watch Penny again.”


“Al and Hannah were phenomenal! They were very responsive and sent a lot of updates through my dog's stay. It made me feel very comfortable leaving Cas with them, and I absolutely will again if the need arises. Highly recommend!”


“Emily is amazing! She clearly provided a safe and fun second home for our dog over a long weekend. We received frequent updates and pictures. Everything we could have possibly wanted in a dog sitter and more. Would be more than happy to let Ruby stay again!”


“Suellen was an excellent sitter; making sure my dog got plenty of exercise and entertainment during his short stay. I would definitely recommend, and would love to have her sit again!”


“I cannot say enough good things about Cynthia and the care she provided our four month old pup, Scout. It was our puppy’s first overnight away, and Cynthia went above and beyond to make her comfortable. Cynthia checked in often and calmed all our nerves. She and her family are wonderful and our puppy cannot wait to return!”


“This is our second time having Pepper stay with Maddie. Maddie is a great communicator and sends just the right amount of updates on our pup. Pepper clearly loves being there. Thanks so much!”


About: My name is Raven, and I am an energetic and passionate lover of animals of all kinds. I grew up in a household wherein my mom saved any animal she could get her hands on, therefore I learned how to care for cats, dogs & even snakes very early in life. Ive worked for shelters since I was a pre-teen, both in volunteer and employment capacity, as well as being on Rover for almost 5 years now, and have fallen in love with every pet i've been able to care for. I'm respectful of your home, time and routine. I'm able to meld to any feeding, walking, cuddling time your animal is used to, as to not change their routine while you're away. I hope to meet you and your furry friend! I am a student at MATC, as well as working part time for Fedex. My schedule is very flexible, and I prioritize your pets before anything else. Rover is something i've cherished for many years, allowing me an opportunity to connect with families who need help, and spend therapeutic time with the animals who make them whole! I can give myself an immense amount of credit for being a very trustworthy person. I was taught by my father to leave things better than I found them, and enjoy cleaning and maintaining my own environment as well as yours. I've never had a complaint about my respect for my clients space. You may occasionally check your home cameras and find me having a conversation with your pets, but other than that, I am fully sane! As for boarding in my home, I am unable to care for dogs in my home as I have 2 cats without experience with dogs, and the number one priority in my care is safety. However, I can board cats as my cats are very comfortable and used to living in a multi-cat home.

Mikaela was so great and super flexible! Estrella was prescribed medications right before her stay and Mikaela handled it like a pro! She also sent updates and photos which was much appreciated. We truly felt like we could trust her and Theo to give Estrella the best care while on vacation, which was a huge relief. We are looking forward to have Estrella stay with them again!

Bekah and Alex were amazing for Paka's 12-day mega-stay! Unfortunately on day #2, Paka did something clumsy in the backyard and had to be taken to the ER vet, but I so appreciated how communicative Bekah was through the entire process and how attentive she was with all of the aftercare. With multiple updates with photos per day, I didn't feel thousands of miles away. Paka still had a great time getting lots of cuddles and time basking on the deck. I would recommend them and book them again myself!

Kara was amazing with our puppy, Marty! We had a last minute change shortly before our trip and needed to find someone to care for our puppy. Kara was able to care for Marty and he did great in her home! She handled his puppy related behaviors without issue. Kara communicated with us throughout the week and sent us regular updates. We will gladly send Marty to stay with Kara again in the future!
