“Terry and his wife cared for our Winnie for four days. They kept us updated with texts and pictures, and Winnie seemed very happy and content. I’m sure he loved the attention and, of course, the big back yard to roam about. We would definitely never hesitate to leave Winnie with these nice folks.”

I asked Felix if he wanted Chip’s travel crate and he said “where I go, Chip goes” which honestly gave me such peace of mind being my first time leaving him. It’s clear that Felix loves dogs, and I knew my Chip man was in great hands. We will definitely be seeing Felix again!!”

About: I’ve had a dog growing up my whole life, I’ve never been bit by a dog or have ever had a negative experience with a dog. I understand that while it is a major part of your family it is still an animal no matter what. I’m not going treat it like a fur baby cuddle toy. They will be loved and cared for. My word. Not working right now, would love to help out during the day and during the week. I am more than happy to accommodate certain times and dates for an agreed amount. My studio apartment is small, I live on a first floor apartment with only one set of stairs to the exit. Also an elevator to the base floor is available without requiring need for steps if necessary.
“We always have ease of mind when leaving our pups with Jacob. He does a great job of communicating and prioritizing the safety of the dogs. We can count on him giving our dogs playtime, exercise, and much affection!”

South East Community dog parents share their Rover experiences
A wonderful experience! We were nervous as this was our first time boarding our dog, but at the meet and greet Jacob had each of his dogs meet ours one on one. The dogs all got along, and I think ours was excited to have other dogs to play with! She was with them for three nights, and was well cared for. She came home happy and healthy - it is such a relief knowing we have a future resource for times we can’t bring her with us, and it was so nice knowing she was in a home with a big fenced backyard, instead of in a kennel. Thank you for taking such great care of our Daisy girl!
She was very welcoming and knowledgeable about dogs. She cared for Neko like he was her own. He enjoyed his stay and got along with her dogs. I highly recommend her services he even got a complimentary spa day for her first visit! Francisca kept in touch with me while I was out of town and sent videos I greatly appreciated that. It made me feel comfortable.
We had such a wonderful experience leaving our fur baby with Emily. From the moment we met, I knew my dog would be well loved and she was! The daily updates and pictures were great and I could tell she was so happy! She went for daily walks, exploring the neighborhood and backyard, and had fun playing with Emily’s dogs. I would highly recommend Emily and will be using her in the future.
