About: I have been around animals my whole life. I have taken care of all different kinds of dogs. Big ones to little ones. I have taken care of young puppies to older dogs. Growing up we had 4 different dogs 3 were Rottweilers and one Norwich terrier. I also have taken care of several different breeds of dogs that Friends and neighbors had. I have time in the morning and a lot of time in the afternoon early evening hours and free on weekends to spend time with caring for a pet. In my home I have plenty of space to play with the pet inside and out side. I have a beautiful neighborhood to be able to go on long walks with the pets.
“Dunkin's first time with an over night boarding while his humans went away could not of been any better. After two introduction daycare visits to Jackie the day of his stay he could of not been any more comfortable. He actually ran into her house! Jackie's updates with me and pictures while I was gone put me at ease right away. Dunkin received the best of care while staying in a loving home environment. Dunkin for sure will be staying again. Thank you!”
“Jorge and family are wonderful people! Stanley had a great time and was well taken care of. Jorge’s home is perfectly suited for our dog’s needs and we will definitely be back when needed in the future. Thank you!”
“First time using Rover. My dog is a little shy around a new environment, but her care quickly put him at ease and he had a great time! Lots of videos and photos were provided. We're so glad to meet Niratcha. Thank you so much!!! He will return to you soon.”
“We used Eric for 2 weeks of boarding when we were out of the country. We received daily communication and answers to our questions. He was wonderful with both dogs -- especially the new puppy. Highly recommend!”
“Gavin was very patient , kind and understanding of my crazy schedule for this weekend and also my first time pet parent anxiety, and my dog loved being in his carelol I would gladly book with him again!”
“Penny looked after Ginger as a trial night before we go on a longer trip this summer. I could tell Ginger had a blast and Penny is very caring with the dogs. I’m not concerned with leaving my pup with Penny when I have to be gone this summer. Thank you Penny and Ginger and I will see you again soon!”
“Danielle loves animals and you can tell! She was wonderful to work with and kept us up to date on our Daisy with great photos and stories. Go with Danielle—she’s a sweetheart!”
“Anne was wonderful with my little Chico! She researched the breed, observed his quirks ( not eating at the start, wanting to be around others and wanting people food which I allow)! She gave detailed updates daily, asked questions when she needed to and loved my dog like he was her own! Would recommend her 110%!”
“So wonderful! I was 9 months pregnant & due any day & Sam was on standby for me, checking in constantly to make sure Balto would be secure and we wouldn’t be in a bind. Her welcoming home and beautiful pup Siren 🚨 are sure to make your own pup very happy. I’ll go back again & again! It’s nice to to know you’re leaving your fur baby with a friend.”
“Jeannie hosted Dahlia for her first dog boarding experience and it went awesome! she provided great care and shared photos of how Dahlia was doing throughout the stay. With a fenced backyard that is big and well taken care of, Dahlia had a blast with all the grass to run around in! Jeannie has awesome kids that also provided great company for Dahlia. I recommend Jeannie to anyone needing dog services as she does provides high quality care and follows any instructions provided really well. Thank you Jeannie!”
“Jayda is a lovely and responsible sitter. All of my hesitation about my 2 year old Havanese dog staying with a very young individual went away when I picked Corey up from his visit. He was very well taken care of and had plenty of room to roam around. Thank you, Jayda, you will be hearing from me again.”
“Robyn went well out of her way to make me feel comfortable about leaving my dog with her for the first time. She emailed me videos almost every hour showing me how well my dog was adjusting and her interactions with the other pet boarders. She truly loves what she does and is a caring compassionate pet-owner. She understands dogs very well, which made me feel confident in leaving my very anxious Yorkie-Poo with her.”
“We love these guys! Our puppies feel at home and are well loved, treated as family and always have a great time. The timely updates, lovely artistic pictures and videos and the great care they offer our pups is invaluable.”
“Lori is awesome! She is very flexible with pick up and drop off times. She sends photos to keep you updated, who doesn't like getting pics of their pup having fun while you're away!?! Definitely a great experience and someone who I will be repeating with next time we go away.”
“Perfect experience. I needed someone almost last minute and Myrlonette was the first call back and was I glad. She sent photos of my dog throughout the sitting and that was a nice touch. She is local with a lovely home with large high fenced yard. I would use her services again! Thanks so much!”
“Katie was amazing from the get go. My previous Rover accommodations fell through last minute and Katie was able to take on both of our dogs last minute. One is a puppy and the other was going through some medical issues and has some personality quirks. She had no problem navigating it, and I felt very confident leaving our dogs with her. She did a great job administering medication and giving them lots of attention and walks. She also sent tons of updates and we would definitely use her again. She did a great job and you could tell she really cared for our dogs!”
“We had Maverick, our 7 months old Husky, with Shauna & Peter for 10 days..They took such a wonderful care of Maverick and shared many photos and videos every day..They took Maverick for multiple walks and lot of outdoor activities. He was very much loved and enjoyed his stay with Shauna, Peter and their daughters. We are glad we found them on Rover. They are wonderful! I would highly recommend Shauna & Peter and would definitely have them to take care of Maverick next time!”

Carrie and her family were absolutely amazing! They were able to help us out with our 3.5 month old puppy last minute. Throughout his stay she sent pictures and updates so we could be at ease knowing our little fur baby was having the time of his life. We couldn’t be more grateful for the care and love Carrie provided and highly recommend for future pet care needs!
