1. Dian R.

“As usual, Dianne was very accommodating. Opie loves it when we get to her house & he runs inside like it’s his second home. That says it all for me. She makes it much easier for us to be away from our “baby”.”


2. Marisa T.


“I was so comfortable leaving Chance in the care of Marissa and her family. She communicated with me through our entire stay and sent beautiful pictures of Chance adjusting (and loving) his vacay family. A special thank you to her son, who romped with him daily in the Ohio snow. We are so lucky to have them close as we travel a lot.”


3. Katelyn & Andria S.

“Katelyn was fantastic! She was accommodating with our last minute booking and made our first experience with a boarding a breeze. She took care of our fur baby like he was her own. He had a great time and Katelyn shared updates along with pictures the whole time. If you’re in the area or traveling to the area she is the best option hands down.”


4. Hayley K.
“I think Hayley is a very loving girl with a big heart, she is a big animal lover and I would recommend her she took care of my animals when I was on vacation for a week she did good no complaints.”


5. Michele R.

“Michele saved my life, I always take my dog everywhere but for obvious reasons I couldn't go to Cedar Point. I contacted her and she quickly said yes. She walked her and took care of her until the afternoon. She sent me photos so I could check her status with my dog. Highly recommended. Thanks Michele.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life. We currently have two sweet cavaliers, age 12 and 8.5 who love to be with other dogs. I was an agility competitor for several years. My husband and I are retired, and home most of the time unless we are traveling. We often care for friends' pets and are happy to provide references. We have a doggy door to a safe fenced area for potty breaks and outdoor play. Your dogs will bed part of our family while with us.

“Sarah took amazing care of our little dog. She sent us pictures throughout the weekend and our dog and Olive got along so well! We would love to have Sarah watch Modie again! ”


8. Bridget D.

“Bridget was such an amazing sitter. While I was on vacation she sent me videos and photos of my dog to keep me updated on how he was doing. Her her dogs were so friendly and playful it made dog feel right at home. He was so happy and well taken care of I will he using Bridget as my sitter anytime time I need my dog to be watched.”


9. Kate W.


“Kate and her fiance were wonderful and so welcoming to our dog, Biji, who was rather stressed out from a several-day road trip by the time we arrived. The hotel we stayed at in Sandusky did not take dogs so we were grateful Kate was there to take our baby for the night. She sent regular photos and updates, and by the time we picked Biji up she was having a great time. Kate even gave Biji a "thank you" gift of milk bones for the road! I highly recommend Kate if you are in the area!”

11. Erin W.
“Erin has pet-sat for our kitties several times. She is an animal lover and loves on my kitties and I don't worry about them at all when I'm gone. She is very mindful of which ones go in and out, and which ones stay in the house. She's an excellent pet-sitter!”




12. Sharon P.

“Sharon is so very kind and patient with the 4 legged babies. My dogs came home happy and tired. Her having a large, fenced in yard was awesome. I will definitely book Sharon again through Rover.”


13. Mary W.
“Mary is the most caring person you could ask for. She has had pets her entire life and cares for them all as part of her family. I guarantee you couldn't get better care for any fur baby.”

“Kiera and Nona took such good care of Bella.”




15. Jennifer P.


“We never leave Marley - but after a successful meet and greet we were 100% comfortable leaving him with Jennifer! We got pictures and messages during Marley's stay that reassured us even more. We are so happy to have found Jennifer and will be booking another stay for Marley next time!”


16. Allison W.

“Allison was great for our Dachshund. She took her on a weeks notice and Molly stayed with her for a few days while we were traveling out of state. She kept in touch with us by text and sent us photos daily. Definitely will use Allison again and highly recommend her. Thank you again Allison!”


17. Erin W.
About: I have fostered many animals over the years. Very obedient dogs to deaf and blind dogs. I have also taken care of a variety of other animals such as ferrets, rabbits, and turtles. Hello, I am currently available at any time as I am taking a leave from my full time job for some very personal reasons. I will base things around your animals schedule. I follow strict instructions for your pets care plus more. Potty breaks are as frequent as need be especially with the age of the dog.


18. EDNA CRISTINA G.
“Edna Cristina has cared for my dogs (and my children initially) on and off for nearly 8 years. She is extremely reliable and develops an amazing rapport with all animals she encounters. She has a big heart and cares deeply about those in her charge. Edna Cristina is a delightful person. She holds high standards and is always interested in learning new skills. She taught herself how to groom our two big, hairy Golden Retrievers. They adore and miss her since she doesn't live near us anymore. Anyone who has the chance to hire her is lucky!”


19. Sherri H.


“My dog was extremely well taken care of. He generally does not eat much when he's being boarded due to anxiety but he ate almost all his meals! I received many pictures and updates during his stay that were much appreciated!”


20. Richard S.
About: I have been taking care of special needs dogs for the last few years, and my oldest (Leo) is 22 & still very active. I can also help with puppy training or boarding depending on breed. I work remotely from home so my schedule is pretty flexible aside from taking care of my own dogs & personal life. I am pretty much open without having yo provide much notice in an emergency situation. I treat my dogs like children, and unfortunately are very spoiled with walks & attention on a daily basis. There safety & happiness are my top priority , and would treat ur animals the same.
