“Luna had such a great visit! Ashley’s Labradoodle and Luna the Goldendoodle hit it off in their Huge backyard. Perfect. Ashley is extremely attentive and an easygoing. Will definitely be back.”


“David and Jennifer took great care of my pup that ended up having a lot of separation anxiety when I left her. They kept me in the loop on what was going on with her and kept her safe while I attended a wedding.”



“Teri is wonderful! Great communication and lots of photos of dogs having fun! My dog adores her and gets so excited to visit. When I pick her up, she just naps in the back seat because she's so tired from playing all day.”


“Kathleen and Mark are fabulous!! They were excellent with how they cared and interacted with our dog. Kathleen sent us a few pictures and updates throughout the day. Wonderful experience for our dog and we will definitely be back!”


“Elisabeth and her family were wonderful! I highly reccomend booking her! She's very responsive and makes me feel extremely comfortable with bringing my puppy to socialize!! Thank you Elisabeth!”


“I had a great vacay with Mimi. Must admit I was a little hesitant at first due to the newness of it all. Mimi made me feel right at home and I enjoyed spending time with her, Wilson and Fozzie. She even pretended not to notice when I "sneaked" up on the couch. Looking forward to my next visit. I rate Mimi four paws up!”



“They got along famously with Buddy. They treated him the same way I do at home. Kym and James were flexible with time fluctuations. Thanks for the regularly texted photos of Buddy. It was peace of mind.”


“My dog enjoyed his doggy day care with Amanda and we were happy to find someone on Rover that was so close to our vacation spot. Amanda was quickly responsive to our messages and was flexible when we had some schedule changes. She sent us pix and was helpful with the Rover app. We're glad to know of a good place our boy can stay when we next return to CdA!”


“We are so glad we found Cheryl on Rover. As first-time Rover users, we were a little unsure of how the app worked let alone what the experience would be like for our golden doodle. Cheryl was great about responding in a timely manner to our texts, her own dogs had a ton of fun with our dog, and she sent us pictures of our pup’s adventures during the day. We will be going to her again if we are in the area.”


“WOW WOW WOW!!! Kelsey and Chase went above and beyond watching our pup! They sent pictures throughout the day and kept us updated the entire time. I was at ease knowing she was in the best hands. Very grateful to have found them! We cannot say enough wonderful things. Absolute sweetest family that made us feel so relaxed about leaving our Velzy girl. She had the best time with their two little dogs. From lounging in the sunshine on their big deck to sniffing around in the backyard and going for walks! We will 100% be using them for as long as they are willing to dog sit. Thank you Kelsey and Chase + family for welcoming Velzy into your home! 🧡”


“Kayla is absolutely great! So super friendly and accommodating. I needed VERY last moment daycare services and Kayla came to the rescue! Not only saved the day but also provided perfect service. I have a deaf puppy with some high energy and she took perfect care of my baby boy. He had fun playing with her cute little dog. A+ highly recommend and will absolutely use her services again. THANK YOU Kayla!”


“Erika and Daniel were amazing! They were so flexible and so accommodating. Thanks to them we had fun on our trip and the dogs were also having the time of their life at Erika’s place!”


“Tracey and her husband are the best! We got to do a little meet and greet a few days before Kaiba was dog sat, which was great to get Kaiba familiar with their home. The backyard is huge and their dogs are so friendly. Kaiba is tired from playing all day with their dogs and running around their huge yard. I definitely will bring my dog back next time I need a sitter. :) Thank you!”


About: I love dogs. I have owned dogs most of my life. Small dogs are my specialty. I am able to care for dogs up to 30 pounds. I currently spend time with my granddog. She loves her grammy. I have a nice apartment in a quiet complex. Your pet would be treated like my own. I can walk, care for your pet at my place or yours, day care and overnights. I would love to meet you and your pet. Reasonable rates. I am currently retired. I have the time and desire to care for your pet. I will be home the majority of the time. I am also available holidays and weekends. I can care for two dogs in my home if with the same family. I have a nice apartment on the ground floor. There is a designated dog area. I will also walk your dog as needed. If I care for your dog in your home, I will be ready to follow his/her routine. Safety is my priority. I will not engage in activities that would put your dog at risk. I always treat them like family.

“Fantastic experience from start to end! Highly recommend! The normal day care i use was unavailable and had very short notice but Melani was AMAZING. So caring, great communication, and my lil boy had a wonderful time. It takes a bit to make him tired but they did it! A+ would use again in a heartbeat. Thank you!”


“I had an exceptional experience with Amanda and Justin. My wife and I were visiting Spokane for three days during a heatwave, and needed daycare for Casey. They did a terrific job, especially introducing Casey to their larger dogs and communicating via text and the Rover app. We felt completely comfortable leaving Casey in their very capable hands.”


About: Something special about me is that your pet will be treated like one of the family. It is important that your pet feels safe with new people, like me. I love playing, walking, and snuggling with pets. I just love being around animals. You won’t have to worry about them, and I’ll make sure to send updates and pictures. Your pet will be in safe and loving arms. I love all pets big and small. I value what’s important for your pet. I worked at a veterinary hospital for two years, providing boarding care to our clients. I am a teacher who has summers off. I am always available on the weekends and after 4 during the week. I can also board and sit with flexible potty schedules. I am a gentle reinforcer! I pay attention to the dog’s behavior and demeanor and follow the dogs need. Whether I am in your house or mine, I follow the lead of the pet and make sure they’re comfortable.

“First time my 7 mo. old Finn played with little children and I think they all enjoyed it. Amanda took pics of him playing, so sweet. He's tuckered out now at home which means he had a great day. Thank you Amanda. Will be seeing you again.”
