“Kim always makes me feel comfortable leaving my puppy. I know he’s in the best hands and will have so much fun instead of being in a kennel somewhere. Very highly recommend Kim!”
“Since this was a first ever boarding experience for both Carmen and me, we were a bit nervous. Mike made the experience a pleasure and kept me informed with pictures of Carmen relaxed and enjoying her stay. When I picked her up three days later, she didn’t want to leave her new canine buddies. I would definitely use Mike again.”
“Wendy and Bill are simply the best. The only people we will trust our dog with (and we have tried multiple people and places prior to meeting Wendy and Bill). They are attentive, responsive, and beyond thoughtful!! If we could give 10 stars we would!”
“Outstanding!! we love that we got multiple pictures and videos every single day. They took care of our pup like she was one of their own. Their dog has a great temperament and I’m sure our dog will miss playtime and naps with him! I will absolutely book again!”
“Cecilia was excellent! She stayed in contact regarding important matters only, while away on business. She was professional and I received picture updates regarding my pup. He really enjoyed his stay. I WILL CERTAINLY BE WORKING WITH CECILIA AGAIN FOR FUTURE TRIPS :-).”
“Thank you for taking such good care of our senior frenchie, Duke. He had a great time and I had no doubt he was in great hands while we were out of town. Marta was quick to respond to messages and sent great pictures and updates throughout the stay.”
“Michelle took AWESOME care of my dogs. At the meet and greet we discussed concerns I had about my dogs staying in a strange place and Michelle was so good with them none of the concerns I had up front were a problem. She patiently worked through separation anxiety problems, behaviors I can't see when I'm around, until she found a solution, and updated me on everything. Now I know more about how my dogs act when I'm not around and my dogs have learned how to handle some new situations. They had a blast spending days in the yard or snuggling up to watch movies. And my little one learned than some kids love to play fetch as much as she does.”
“Ewa doesn’t disappoint! Olive loved her stay and feels so at home with Ewa. She loves the big fenced yard and all the attention and playtime, and I love getting all the updates, photos and videos. Ewa was flexible in allowing me to extend Olive’s stay as I was recovering from surgery. I really appreciated that. I’m so blessed and thankful to have such a wonderful environment and sitter for Olive!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Maureen looking after Bernie! She took excellent care of her, sending us updates which reassured us she was in good hands. Bernie had a blast playing with Finley, her dog, and came home happy and well-exercised. We highly recommend her services and will definitely be using her again!”
“Sarah was fantastic. She was extremely accommodating and helpful. My cat, who isn't usually used to strangers, opened up to her very fast—which is a great judge of character. I highly recommend using her and will definitely do so again in the future.”

“Loved this sitter! She was so sweet and provided updates periodically with pictures. We are new to the area and she gave us the run down on the neighborhood and also gave us some suggestions for choosing a new vet. Will definitely be back!”
About: As a teenager, I took care of 10 dogs, 3 cats, 4 Guinea Pigs, and a bunch of farm animals. I am in the Army and love exercise. I can take your animals on long walks and trips to the parks and getting them tired for your return home. I am timely and will never be late. I am now 27 and currently have a spoiled border collie who is ready to make some friends. I mostly have availability from Friday afternoon at 4:00 PM - Monday morning around 7:00 AM. Aside from those times, I do have lunch from 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM every day and get out of work at 3:00 PM, so I am available in the evenings and nights every night of the week. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly border collie in my back yard. I am also able to crate my dog if needed to allow your pet the freedom to roam around. I also allow the pets inside, so they will not be exposed to extreme weather unless they are going potty.

“Wow, I was very happy with my dog Riri's overall stay. This was my first time using Rover.com, I was a little worried but I am so glad I did. Riri is a rescue, she has separation anxiety. Taking Riri to Aesia's home, she look comfortable and relax, this is rare for her. I am so happy that Aesia enjoyed Riri as well. My husband is in the military, this service is prefect for us because we are new to the area and and it's nice to know we already found someone that Riri feels comfortable staying with if we need a sitter. ”
“Derek was amazing with our boy Moose when he watched him while we were getting married this weekend. He sent update photos and walk routes and went the extra mile to make sure we could enjoy our weekend and know that Moose was in good hands!”

This was another excellent experience with Kelsey. She consistently provides thoughtful, attentive care, and Daisy immediately relaxes as if she’s in her own home. The communication, updates, and warm environment make every stay stress‑free for us and enjoyable for Daisy. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter.
I cannot recommend Annie enough! This was my first time leaving my dog Zeus with her, and I was completely at ease the entire time. She and her husband are incredibly kind people who clearly have a passion for dogs. I received frequent messages and photo updates, which I appreciated so much. Best of all, my dog got along with theirs—it was like a little vacation for him, too! I will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. If you’re looking for a sitter who treats your dog like their own, look no further. Annie is fantastic.
