“I cannot say enough amazing things about this incredible family. We are repeat customers and will be for life! Our puppy is so loved and taken care of in this home, we couldn’t be more appreciative!! So loved, that my sweet Olive pup just doesn’t want to come home!! Thank you!!!”


“Our pup had a wonderful time with Janice, and with great communication throughout the stay we had peace of mind she was well cared for. Would definitely recommend and look forward to our next booking!”


“This is the first time we used the services of Jeanne Y. As dog sitter for our dog Crosby, an almost three year old active mixed breed (lab/boxer). We were very pleased with the overall e perience and would not hesitate to use Jeanne again or to recommend her services to our pet-owner friends. I really appreciated the opportunity to meet Jeanne prior to Crosby's stay. I also appreciated the pictures Jeanne shared with us of Crosby's stay. Crosby had to the opportunity to run in the large enclosed ring by Jeanne's barn. According to Jeanne, Crosby enjoyed socializing with other dogs staying on the farm over Christmas. The pictures JeNne shared with us showed this as well. We also appreciated Jeanne's flexibility in when we could drop off and pick up Crosby. Our experience with other kennels is that they are not often as flexible. ”


“Our dog had another great stay! Jaclyn provides great care and she treats our dog as her own. This was his longest stay (4 nights) and he came home happy!”


“We had a wonderful experience boarding our 6 month old puppy with Nicholas! He was responsive to all my questions and sent pictures every day! He took great care of our bulldog’s special skin care needs. Our puppy had so much fun and was well taken care of! She was truly treated as part of their family for the week! I feel relieved to have found such a great pet sitter and will certainly book with Nicholas again!”


“Shauni and Conner were wonderful pet sitters. Our 8mo old Beau enjoyed himself and the tons of playtime he had. Beau came home exhausted and slept so long. I would recommend boarding or dog sitting with Shauni and Conner.”


“Hemi is NEVER more excited then when we are pulling into Amanda's driveway! Amanda and her family are so sweet and I can tell that Hemi is treated with just as much love as her own.”


“Amanda and her sweet kiddos took such great care of our Bode. He was so loved, made to feel right at home, and welcomed in. We asked him if he had a nice time, and although he didn’t answer, we are pretty sure he would if he could, and would have rave reviews. Thank you!!”



“I always feel at ease when Briana takes care of my dog! He’s on the smaller side and doesn’t play with other dogs often so I was a little nervous at first, but he has a great time with her pups and is tired out from all his fun when he gets home. I love getting those pictures throughout the weekend so I can see how he’s doing. I would 100% recommend her for dog sitting/boarding.”


“Kyle and Kaleigh have the perfect set up to watch our dog. We were completely comfortable leaving our pup with them and they were awesome about sending us pictures and communicating on how our dog was doing”


“Faith took fantastic care of our cats. She sent us frequent updates about them throughout the whole stay, even an hour before picking them up. The pictures and videos helped us focus on my brother's wedding instead of worrying about the cats, and we greatly appreciate it.”


About: I have taken care of a variety of pets my entire life, ranging from cats, dogs, rabbits and other small rodents. I have an open spare room which I use for separate housing if needed for case by case bases. I have three cats and a dog of my own that are spoiled beyond measure but the spare room comes in handy for new friends to be separated. I have worked as a waitress for the last 5 years but after suffering a shoulder injury I am currently looking for opportunities to work from home. I am currently only working one day or two out of the week, meaning I have just about complete open availability. I do my best to provide a safe environment for all of the pets I chose to bring into my home. I do have camera set up in each of my hall ways and living room where I can watch what my pets are doing while I am awhile. There are few times, if any, when I am not one on one with the animal during their time staying with me unless they personally prefer space but I try and keep an eye or camera on them at all times. Plenty of appropriate toys and treats will be provided. There is a closed off spare room provided for pets that need to be kept separate, as needed case by case. I have a medium sized yard that is not fenced in. For dog cases where appropriate I will bring pet to dog park that is close by. Mainly will be walked on leash on side streets and around the yard. Your pet will be treated as one of my own. I do want to mention 2 flights of stairs are required to get in to the building so while I’ll do my best to accommodate all animals, ones who struggle with stairs and need frequent yard time need to know.

About: My background in animal science and time in the veterinary industry make me the ideal sitter for your pups safety and well being while you're away. I live on a small horse farm that I own and operate with my two dogs Petey and Boomer, and cat Willow. My home allows for various accommodations for your pets need whether that me hanging out with my pet or a relaxing space to themselves. I am able to take pet that may have medical requirements during their stay as well as with any other special needs. Potty breaks an be as frequent as they are needed. My own to two dogs are previously nervous rescues (Petey is still working on it!). With that experience I am comfortable creating an environment for your nervous Nelly or high energy pup that needs time let off steam in the yard! I currently work a hybrid schedule which means I am in the office a few times a week and home all other days. On days that I go into the office pets staying with me can be left loose in their own room or crated/in a small pen as necessary. My office schedule is flexible and unless your pet is staying the full week I try to arrange my office days outside sitting days! I have a small fenced area as well as 7 acres for you pup to enjoy while on the farm. Depending on your pets need I have space to keep them separate from my own and other pets staying in the home or they can enjoy the company of others.

Sanford dog parents share their Rover experiences
Heidi took great care of our Targhee for one week in June. She sent daily updates and photos, and he always looked so happy!

Excellent and reliable. I got stuck in another state for an extra day due to a flight cancellation, and she was so helpful with watching my dog extra and flexible with a last minute change in plans. Used her services multiple times and always satisfied!

We were very happy with our pups stay with Faith. We got daily updates and pictures. He’s very attached and a bit needy for attention and she accommodated to his needs and made him feel very comfortable. We’ll definitely be using her services again in the future.

Molly did a good job communicating with me whenever something came up with the dogs. One of girls was nervous the first day but she was able to get settled in after a few days. She even left a thank you note and placed all of the stuff I brought back in my home along with my dogs, so pickup was easy.
