Dog Boarding Rivals

“Heather was great--responsive, communicative, kind, loving to Sophie. My pup had a great time and seemed to be completely at ease when I picked her up.”

Jean H.

“Our girl was well cared for by a loving family. We got daily updates and pictures of Hattie. I believe she had a lovely time with Alyssa and her family. We would definitely book her again. Thanks for taking such good care of our girl.”

Gary C.

“Maggie loves staying with Heather and Remi! She gets to play and run and have such a fun time. Heather is so friendly and communicative. We will definitely book with Heather again in the future!”

Laura F.

“Beth was so patient and kind, I have never left my dog with a non-family member and she's a little codependent but Beth (and Tupac/Kiddo!) were so sweet and made her feel at home. She sent updates over the weekend and was amazing with our pickup/drop off schedule and my anxiety. Thanks so much!”

Samantha D.

“Scott took great care of Zumba! He took him on walks, kept me updated on how he was doing, and sent me pictures while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and felt at ease knowing Zumba was in good hands. I’d definitely recommend him!”

Nancy S.

“With last minute notice, Kimberly was able to assist and watch Holly for the week. I do not think I have had a better dog sitter for boarding in the almost 12 years I have had Holly. You can tell Holly was happy to be with Kimberly! Thank you so much for the love and care you provided for Holly and the communication, knowledge, and professionalism with us. You are amazing, Kimberly!”

About: Hi! I’m Kaelin, and I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and animals my whole life. I grew up in Kentucky on lots of land and have cared for five dogs, including multiple puppies at once! I love giving pups plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles, and I’ll treat your furry family member like my own! 🐾 I’m currently a Graduate student who has 4 classes a week. I’m usually free every day of the week after 4pm. I’m also free all day Wednesday! I care for every pet as if they were my own! I make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and cuddles while following their usual routines and any specific instructions from their owner. Growing up with dogs and caring for puppies has taught me how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

“We love Julie and her family so much. Ava is so comfortable with them that they are like family to us. Thanks for accepting her when I gave you virtually a days notice. You and your family are such a blessing”

Tom B.

“Amanda was amazing with Ellie and Eugene! We loved all the pictures we got while Amanda was watching them. It made us feel better knowing they were in such good hands!”

Megan C.

“Libby was great about sending pictures so we knew Deacon was having a good time. Will definitely get in touch with her about keeping Deacon the next time we are out of town.”

Cullen L.

“Megan took great care of my dog and was great about sharing pictures and letting me know he was doing good while I was out of town. Sounded like he got along great with her dog as well. Definitely recommend her if you need someone to look after your dog.”

Andrew Z.

“Lynne was a wonderful sitter for my Lucy. Sent pics all the time to show that Lucy has adjusted well. I will definitely use her services again.”

Shannon S.

“This is the 2nd time our fur baby has stayed with Jessica and her family. They make sure his special dietary needs are met and that he has lots of playtime. I love all the pictures she sends while we are on vacation. It’s wonderful to have such a great family looking out for our fur baby.”

Rebecca T.

“Meela created a wonderful home away from home for Archer. She and her pups were welcoming and we got lots of updates and photos, which were wonderful because the kids wanted to know that he was having a good time and didn’t miss them. We are looking forward to having Meela pet sit again!”

Megan & Darcy W.

“My Dogs loved their stay with Melody. Melody followed my directions about feeding, spent pictures often and cared for my babies like I do. I will definitely use Melody again.”

Renee B.

“Jared and Waverly took great care of Wrigley and sent us updates and photos while we were away. She had a great time and is looking forward to her next stay.”

Emily A.

“Lea provided one of the absolute best dog sitting experiences I’ve ever had using Rover. She took wonderful care of my puppy and even sent us home with a gift that included a framed picture of my dog! I will absolutely be using her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone else needing a trustworthy dog sitter!”

John B.

“This was my first time using Rover and Sean did a great job. I have two large dogs and had concerns with leaving them at another persons house. We completed a meet and greet, walked the dogs and agreed we would complete the booking process. Sean did a great job of communicating throughout the visit and made sure both of my dogs got plenty of time outside and plenty of walks. Sean went above and beyond for my pups! Will definitely book with him in the future.”

About: We believe every dog deserves individualized care, which is why we only board one family’s dog(s) at a time. This allows us to provide a calm, low-stress environment where your pup receives plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. Our family genuinely enjoys having dogs in our home. Our friendly Siberian Husky loves canine companionship, and our three children enjoy playing fetch, exploring the backyard, and giving our guests lots of love and attention. We tailor each stay to your dog’s personality and needs—whether that means long walks and outdoor adventures or a quiet day relaxing inside. We understand how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone else because we’ve boarded our own dog, too. That’s why communication is one of our priorities. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates along with messages so you can relax knowing exactly how your pup is doing. Safety is equally important to us. We have a large, securely fenced backyard, require current vaccinations, and carefully introduce dogs to ensure everyone is comfortable. We also keep our schedule flexible so your dog isn’t left alone for long periods and receives the care and attention they deserve. Our goal is simple: to make your dog feel like part of our family while giving you complete peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into our family’s daily routine. We work from home and have flexible schedules, allowing us to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Because we only care for one family’s pet(s) at a time, we can tailor our routine to meet your dog’s individual needs and help them feel right at home. Our pets are part of the family! Our friendly Siberian Husky loves to play and enjoys the company of other dogs. We provide daily walks, playtime, plenty of outdoor time in our securely fenced yard, and lots of love and attention. We can accommodate crate-trained dogs and tailor each stay to your pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs, so they’ll feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.

About: I don't remember life without dogs. They've been my companions and best friends since I was a kid. I love them so much that I can bark well enough to fool you into thinking I'm one of them! Over the years, I've been around all kinds of dogs, from Great Danes to mutts and Golden Retrievers. I've also rescued dogs from difficult situations. I've learned that every dog has its own personality. Some want to play all day, some want to cuddle, and others just want to do their own thing. If your dog is big, I'm strong enough to take them on a walk. If they're cuddly, I'll cuddle the crap out of them. If they need space or time to warm up, that's fine, too. I'm comfortable around dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I don't get nervous or jumpy around them. I'm sure your dog will bring lots of joy to my home. I have a spacious house where dogs can relax wherever they feel comfortable, along with a fenced backyard where they can run and play. I'll make sure your dog gets the attention, care, and space they need to feel at home. When I'm out, it's never for more than four hours. If your dog stays with me, they would be alone for four hours at most. The rest of the time we'll be around to give them attention and affection. My house is spacious, so your dog can find a comfortable spot to hang out wherever they like. I also have a fenced-in backyard where they can run around and play. I'm happy to take them on walks or to a nearby park, too. Every dog is different, so just let me know the specifics: their routine, what they enjoy, what makes them nervous, and anything else I should know. I want them to feel at home here, not like they're stuck somewhere unfamiliar while you're away.
