“Deborah & Dick were amazing when we boarded our 4 Shiba Inus for a quick weekend trip in July. They kept us updated daily with many photos and videos of our fur babies. Our shibas got plenty of outside time going on walks and playing in their fenced yard. Highly recommend 🥰🥰 Thank you for caring for our babies.”
“Shelby did a great job taking care of my old lady! She kept me updated with pictures and how my dog was doing. She was very knowledgeable and did everything she could to keep her comfortable and happy.”

“Kristopher watched my dog while my husband and I moved into our new place, and I’m thankful for how seamless and easy he made our experience! Couldn’t have asked for a nicer family to watch my dog during the eventful day we were having. :)”
“Our fur babies enjoyed there stay with Katlynn. They were all taken very well care of and Katlynn was easy and amazing to work with! Would Def recommend Katlynn for caring for the fur babies and will most definitely be back again.”
“Staci was so great to work with, and our boys had such a blast with her! She sent us pics of them having fun every day, and I’m sure they can’t wait to go back again. We will absolutely have our boys stay with Staci again!”
“Remi had a blast with Alexandra and her kids! All the attention and playing he could ever want - he was sad to leave. Will definitely be going back to them again!”
“Jaime is simply outstanding. Our two cats were extremely well cared for during our two week vacation. We were provided regular updates and pictures and never had to worry about how they were adjusting, if they were eating, if they were feeling comfortable enough to play, etc. Jaime is an absolute gem and you will be hard pressed to find anyone that will take better care of your pets.”
“This was our first time leaving our puppy, I was nervous but Wendy made us feel comfortable with leaving him. She is great with communicating and sending pictures of his time with her, it was like he was part of the family. I would highly recommend Wendy! Thank you for taking such great care of him💙”
“Anne and her family were so kind to watch my pup Dune last minute after our original dog sitting plans for vacation fell through. We did an initial met/greet to ensure our dogs got along and Dune loved playing with the other pups. Communication with daily updates and photos was awesome! Kenneling overnight. We were so grateful for your flexiblity and help! Thank you all for taking such great care of my boy :)”
“When we found ourselves in a pickle, we turned to Rover to find a trustworthy, dog educated person to watch our female GSD Stiorra. Not only were we searching last minute but we needed someone who was comfortable and had experience with females in heat. Ofcourse our girl would go into heat when we have nonrefundable tickets. Haha! I put our situation out to a couple different sitters on Rover. Kaylee was the first to respond and had such enthusiasm that I knew she was our person! She assured me that she had experience with females in heat and with doggy diapers. We did a meet and greet and the rest is history! Stiorra had a blast. Kaylee treated her as if she was her own. And Stiorra found a new friend in Oliver the great dane. I can't express how thankful I am to have found Kaylee. We look forward to having her watch Stiorra again!”
“This is my second time bringing my dog to Natasha. My dog was so excited to see her and ran up to her door and never looked back to say goodbye to me 😂. He gets a lot of interaction and play time with her dogs. I would 100% recommend Natasha to take care of your pet. I have zero worries while away”
“Amazing! Third time Max stays with Loretta! Once again, looking at photos I feel like Max thinks that Loretta’s place is his place. To the point, I guess he becomes conflicted in between coming back home or staying there longer. 😂😂😂”
“Kim took very good care of Willow and Bentley. She and her children love dogs. They walked my dogs, combed my dogs, fed them, gave Willow her medication, gave my chubby doxie a much loved tummy rub and took good care of them. She sent me photos of my dogs and they looked happy and well cared for.”
“I highly recommend, I am still very Impressed. Olivia took great care of my German Shepherd, Made him feel very at home in a very safe and relaxing environment. He felt like was on vacation as well, napping, relaxing, and desired activities. She would be my first choice if I need boarding in area again!”
About: I have been taking care of animals, but specifically dogs my entire life. I currently have a farm where we have 4 dogs of our own I have owned dogs all my life! Golden retrievers, newfoundlands, aussies, and pit bulls is what I know best they are are treated like my family and I can’t wait to watch your fur babies I have two fur babies that live in my home we also have an extra large dog kennel set up in the basement for dogs that would like the kennel. Our dogs and our animals are our family ! Treated like royalty here !
About: I’ve owned my own dogs for over 10 years and grew up with a family dog. I love them and they deserve more than laying in kennels for hours on end every day. My husband and I live on some beautiful acreage with lots of exercise and sniffing opportunities. Your dog will be engaged in our everyday life and feel like part of our family! We are home during the day and am available for potty breaks, meals and long walks. We have great resting places in the house when your dog needs a break. We’re pretty intuitive to dogs needs and have the flexibility to care for them. We don’t have a fenced in yard but have a lot of land, and as long as the dog is trusted, they are free to run around near the house, under our supervision. Otherwise we’ll do leashed walks around the property with lots to sniff!
“Thank you for giving our fella a try, this was his first experience similar to this and we appreciate your help and feedback. Lots of updates and photos were provided to help ease our concerns.”
“Great overall experience ! First time using rover and letting our puppy stay at another house And will defiantly be using the app/ Rachel for future needs ! Very friendly , personable, and most importantly took great care of our puppy . She sent picture updates as well. Thanks again !”
