About: I work from home. I have a small backyard and a park nearby with a walking path. I have 3 children who are good around pets. We have one dog of our own who is a 70lb, 12 year old female. My experience comes from my own pets and checking on friend’s pets while they are away. I am available in the mornings before work, can be flexible about lunch and breaks to leave and check on pets and end my work day at 5 (Mon-Fri). If I go into work, it is often on a Wednesday and my parents come check on my dog while I am away for the day. My home: I have a fenced yard, 1 older dog, and gates in the house to keep the dogs on the main floor. I do not have a crate or dog toys. My dog prefers long walks, scratches and a good nap. My dog is a large poodle breed.
“An amazing person to take your pets to, very attentive and caring and even got me a little refund when I didn’t book correctly my first time! Definitely recommend and will be booking Mathew & Angela again.”
“Linda was great! She was happy to watch our dog on relatively short notice. She communicated well with us while we were away, and sent many wonderful pictures and videos. Our pup came home happy and exhausted, proof of a great time away!”
“Holly and Jeremy and family were great! My two dogs were treated like family. I loved getting pictures of them with the kids and family. I didn’t have to worry about them and that means so much. Thank you!”
“Wonderful family! Needed help watching our dog for 1.5 days over the Memorial Day weekend with less than a week to go and Erin and Brandon sure helped out! Communication was great throughout and even before the stay! Our anxious pup seemed at ease with everyone in the family from first meet and I could tell she was being well taken care of just from the pics. Everything about the stay was easy and I already told them that I’d be requesting them again in the near future!”
About: My name is Jessa and I am a 30 year old female. I have always been an animal lover and have had cats and dogs since I was 8 years old. I would love the opportunity to help out in your pet care needs. I have a fully fenced in back yard and a great neighborhood for walks! Let me know if you think it would be a good fit and you can contact me! It is me and my mom in the home, so good availability around the clock 😁 I work Monday- Friday 8 hour shifts. I'm available any day, but if dog sitting or doing doggy daycare during those days, the potty breaks would be 8 hour span while I'm at work. I'll give them my full attention and make sure they are well cared for 😁 I have always been an animal lover and want them to be as comfortable as possible!
“We reached out for boarding at the last minute. Tyler was a lifesaver for my Maltipoo—he stayed overnight with Tyler and his awesome Golden Retriever. We came back to a happy dog. He walked him, and sent updates and pics. 10/10, booking again!”
“Miranda and her husband took fantastic care of my puppy. This was our first experience with a boarder and Penny was welcomed and felt very comfortable with them. Highly recommend!”

Ashley was so accommodating by taking Piper with only 24 hr notice. Awesome communication and met us at the door as we walked up to her house at drop off. Piper was spoiled during the day with walks and lots of love. We were updated with pictures and videos during the day. Highly recommend Ashley and we will be contacting her when our next appointment is scheduled at Mayo Clinic.
Matt and Angela made my small nervous dogs feel so welcome, much better than the boarding experience last time I left home. Matt let them roam just like at home, cleaned up a puppy mess, and gave me awesome updates! I was also new to the Rover process and thought I had booked him last month but hadn’t, and he was flexible and understanding.
Jennifer took wonderful care of my dog while I was away, and I really appreciated how attentive and communicative she was throughout the stay. She sent daily updates, checked in about any concerns, and was very thoughtful when my dog didn’t want to eat the first day — which is normal for her in new environments. I also appreciated the time she took to have us come over beforehand so we could meet her and her dogs and make sure it was a good fit. She was responsive, caring, and clearly experienced with dogs. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and would absolutely recommend her to others.
We left our puppy with Maya for almost a week and it went amazing. We were nervous to leave him but she gave us daily updates and photos to keep our minds at ease, it was wonderful. Everything seemed to go great, she was very responsive and our puppy had a great time!
Denielle was great to work with when coordinating Kona's stay. She was very responsive and organized. After meeting her and seeing the large fenced in backyard I knew Kona was in good hands. Highly recommend Denielle for boarding. Kona had fun playing with her two dogs.
The first overnight with this host family was a success; our two dogs were happy and comfortable in their surroundings, as evidenced by the frequent photos depicting walks and other activities, as well as their behavior when we arrived to pick them up. It’s such a a relief being able to schedule occasional time away and knowing our pups will be well cared for. Again, thank you very much!
Ashlee was so great with our two energetic dogs!! She kept us updated and did try different solutions to make sure our picky eater would eat her food! Loved the picture and videos she would send over as well. Most definitely would recommend Ashlee for future overnight stays :)
