“Nancy was great! Our trip plans were ever changing due to scheduling of my daughters cheer competition out of town. She went with the flow and was very flexible for our drop off and pick up times! She is very responsive and always answered quickly with any questions or just to check in on our pup! We will definitely use her for our future trips!”
“Heather was amazing and I will definitely use her again. She was accommodating to my last minute request for boarding. She was also responsive when I reached out and had a very caring spirit.”
“I was very pleased with Ebony. Casper was not happy with the other dogs she was boarding, because they were so much bigger than him. He did, however, get along very well with Ebony and her children. I highly recommend her.”
“Tina was great with our 2 dogs who stayed for 1 night. Her communication was excellent and she sent updates and pics during their stay. We will be happy to have Tina watch our boys again in future.”
“Gabrielle and her family were great hosts to our girls. She sent photos and videos for us to let us know they settled in ok. They enjoyed playing with her cats as well. We will definitely use her again soon!”
“Beth was an amazing sitter for our pup. She was easy to coordinate with on the front and back end and gave frequent updates with pictures and details keeping us up to date on everything our pup. Will definitely be back with Beth for our next getaway!”
“This was my first time using Rover.com. Stephen & Angela were great helping me feel at ease with the service. We did a meet & greet with our doggies. And Merlie & Cinnamon were very well cared for!! Thank you so much and I highly recommend!”
“Ashley was great with our little buddy. Rocket and her daughter got to be best buds. She was great to send photos to make us feel better. He had a great time. Will definitely use her again. Thanks so much.”
“Heather was great! We highly recommend her, my dog had a great time at her house which was perfect because doesn’t have steps. She send us updates and pictures daily giving us a peace of mind.”
“Wonderful family who took great care of our dog! We would definitely use them again. They took time beforehand to make sure they knew what he would need and sent a photo and update each day. The boys were so excited to help take care of him. We could tell that our dog had been very happy and comfortable in their home when we picked him up.”
“Jared and Waverly did a great job with our puppy! They sent a bunch of pictures every day so we knew he was happy, healthy and playing with other dogs at their house. He was well cared for while we were out of town and we’ll be looking to book with Jared and Waverly again!”
“I had such a great experience with Lauren and Joseph, they went above and beyond my expectations. I decided to book last minute and they were more than willing to help. I was nervous at first leaving Lucy with strangers cause he’s never stayed overnight anywhere with someone he didn’t know. Lauren sent me a couple photos 30 minutes after I left showing that Lucy was fitting right in, with then having a pool cause Lucy loves to swim. That was the trick to making him comfortable right away. Thanks so much again”
“Loved McKenzie! So sweet and great with my dog! Sent pictures every day and my dog played with hers and they had fun! She followed instructions for feeding. Would definitely use again and recommend to others!”
“Suzanne was amazing! She responded right away and was able to take the job on just 48 hours’ notice. Throughout the stay, she was super responsive—checking in regularly and keeping me updated on how my dogs were doing. I’m not sure what kind of magic she has with dogs, but mine have been so much better behaved since coming home! I have two twin puppies who are usually a handful, but they’ve barely tried to jump up since being with her. I’m incredibly grateful for her skills, care, and help in calming down our wild little duo. Highly recommend!”
“We were so stressed out about leaving Cassie, our 9 year old yellow lab. We had to attend a conference in Louisville traveling from Florida. The hotel was not pet friendly. After the meet and greet, Mary put our minds at ease. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and has two of her own. She sent me daily pictures and updates and really pampered her. If I ever pass through Louisville again I would definitely use her again! Thank you Mary!”
“Angela made Sophie one of her family for over two weeks. She sent lots of pictures every day and it was obvious Sophie felt at home. We were afraid she might not want to come home.”
About: I have experience with all types of dogs from various backgrounds. I got into fostering with my wife a few years ago. I have plenty of experience with dogs who need medication administration, including injections and am conscious that some need to stick to a specific food. I want to make this a place a home away from home for your pup because that’s what they deserve when they’re away from the people they love the most! My schedule is flexible. A typical routine is to have morning, afternoon, evening and bedtime potty breaks and mealtime at breakfast and dinner. The only conflict may be that we attend church Sunday mornings. I have a fenced yard and a playful pup to keep your fur baby entertained. If crating is part of your dog’s routine, please provide the crate, as I do not crate my dog. We do bark box, so no need to bring toys. I do recommend something that smells like home, especially for the first visit, and if your dog has separation anxiety. Please don’t bring any sentimental toys or bones as it can cause resource guarding and potential conflict. All dogs are fed separately at mealtime. I cannot watch unfixed dogs (male or female) past 1 year old due to behavioral issues. If we are away from the house, dogs are kept in the playroom so they have room to roam. I have a ring camera to be able to check in if needed. Please reach out for any further questions so I may provide clarification!
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats all my life. Big or small, young or old each of our pets get the love and attention they deserve. Our pets have always been treated like family and rest assured knowing your special guy or gal will be part of our family for as long as they are with us. We currently have 4 cats all under the age of 3, and 125lb Great Dane/Lab mix, and a 5lb Shih-poo. I currently work full time from home and set my own schedule. I try to take my pups out every 2-4 hours. If I go out on the weekends for sports or activities, I try our best to keep it under a few hours. I have crates available if needed. I have a large backyard for your furry friends to explore. I do not mind walking your pets on the leash. I have 2 floors in our house with no room or furniture restrictions for our dogs or cats.
