Kathy is always so wonderful with our dog, Stash! He’s so comfortable and loved when he’s with her. It’s so hard leaving him, but Kathy is great at sending updates and photos while we’re away. Thanks so much for being so great with our little guy, Kathy!

I was so pleased with my dog’s stay with this boarder. She sent me daily updates and made sure I knew Oreo was being treated with the BEST care! This was my first experience leaving Oreo with a someone outside my family and all of my insecurities went away the very first day he was there. I would highly recommend her and will definitely reach out again if I need to leave Oreo again!

Lulu had another great stay with Susan. She is always excited to go there and I think she misses Frank and the other dogs when she comes home. Susan's pictures always show Lulu and friends having a lot of fun. I always feel confident when Lulu is at Susan's that she is in good hands.

We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!

About: I’m a dedicated dog mom who treats every dog like my own. I provide personalized care, follow routines closely, and send regular updates. My home is a safe, loving environment, and my friendly miniature poodle, Knox, enjoys making new dog friends. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a dog mom myself. I work during the day, but I’m able to come home and check on pups throughout the day. Evenings and weekends are when I have the most availability for walks, playtime, cuddles, and one-on-one attention. I make sure every dog gets plenty of care, exercise, and companionship while they’re with me. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family. I have a backyard where they can safely run and play, and I can easily accommodate crate-trained dogs if needed. My miniature poodle, Knox, is friendly and enjoys having dog friends to play with and keep him company. We stay active with multiple walks throughout the day, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I do my best to follow each dog’s normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home during their stay.

About: My name is Ivette and I currently study at Case. My husband is a USPS mail carrier and I work from home. Currently, I have one dog and two rescue cats🐾. During the pandemic, I spent a significant amount of time with my pets indoors where I had the opportunity to take care of two litters that my dogs had. I learned many skills during that time. With age, my dog became a senior dog and had to take oral medication so I am used to giving oral/topical medication to pets. I have been living in the Cleveland area since 2019 but I am originally from Texas. My current home has a fenced back yard and a good route for walks. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out.

I found myself with an addition to our family when Lola was found sleeping on my porch for a few days. After two weeks of caring for her and with no luck in finding her owner. I had to make a choice of what to do with Lola during an upcoming spring break trip with my grandchildren, and family. Rover.com made the difference in surrendering my recuse when I met Andrea. From my initial contact with Andrea I was put at ease in leaving Lola in Andrea’s care. On the day I brought Lola to meet Andrea Lola’s separation anxiety was high when she thought she was being abandoned, but I know I was leaving Lola with the right person. During my trip Andrea’s messages and photos throughout the week allowed me to relax knowing all was well with Lola and enjoy my time with my family. When I returned to pick Lola up she had enjoyed a spa day, groomed and happy. Andrea’s home is Lola’s new home away from home. Andrea is Highly Recommended!!

Angel was fantastic! She was easy to work with, highly communicative, and Walt came back happy and well cared for. She gave daily updates with lots of photos so I always knew how Walt was doing. He can be a little anxious but settled in really well. Angel was also very flexible with pick up and drop off times when our plans changed. Would definitely use Angel again!
