“Shanta was very loving and caring towards my puppy. She took wonderful care of her and kept me informed- even sending me pictures and videos during the day. She is very knowledgeable, answering any questions I had about general puppy care. I will absolutely use her again!”
About: Taking care of animals is a passion of mine. In fact I am currently working towards a career as a zookeeper. Grew up taking care of both indoor family pets and outdoor barn dogs. I wish to give my own dog, Freya, the best life and therefore have done much research on the care of dogs and their needs. When it comes to animals I prefer to be cautious and examine their behavior to make sure each animal is happy and healthy. My current job has flexible hours and allows me to work from home so I have open availability and I will be able to watch your pets. I have a fenced in backyard which my dog takes plenty advantage of. I understand dog behaviors and monitor them for signs of distress or aggression. If need be I am able to isolate dogs in either a crate or separate areas of the house.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. As a kid, we always had at least 3 dogs! As an adult, I adopted my own dog, a miniature daschund, who lived to be 16.5 years old, and I also had a cocker spaniel, who lived to be 12 years old. So I have plenty of experience with elderly dogs. I now have a 9 month old Labrador retriever. He has so much energy, loves to walk and play in the yard, and would LOVE to meet your furry friend. I work 4 days, and then I have 4 days off, so I’ll be available to help you and your pet out with whatever you need! I work 4 12 hour shifts, and then I’m off for 4 days. I will be available most of the days that I’m off. I may be busy on weekends though. I do daily walks with my own dog and work on training with him whenever I can. And we love to play fetch! I have a fenced yard for the dogs to run and play. I have a baby pool for the hot days, my dog loves water! I also have plenty of toys to play with.
About: With over 14 years of experience caring for animals, pets have always been a big part of my life. I currently have three friendly dogs and a cat, and every one of them is treated like a beloved family member. Our entire household is full of animal lovers, and we pride ourselves on creating a safe, loving, and fun environment for every pet that stays with us. We welcome pets into our home where they’ll enjoy plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort. We have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor fun, and our own pets are very social and gentle with others. I’ll make sure your pet feels right at home—and I love sending lots of photo updates so you can see how much fun they’re having while you’re away! Operating as Guardian Paws Boarding (Tracy & Sons, LLC). Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s my full-time passion and profession. I’m home all day, every day, which means your pet will get constant attention, love, and care. Since this is my only job, your cat (or dog) will be my top priority, and their needs will never be rushed or overlooked. From playtime and feedings to snuggles and quiet companionship, I’m fully available to follow your pet’s routine and make them feel right at home. You can relax knowing they’re being cared for by someone who’s always around and truly dedicated to their happiness and well-being. When your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated like one of the family. I provide a safe, loving home environment with plenty of attention, play, and comfort. We have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can run, explore, and get their energy out safely. If your dog is crate-trained or needs to be crated at certain times, I’m happy to accommodate that as well. I have three friendly, well-socialized dogs who love meeting new furry friends, and two wonderful kids (ages 8 and 15) who are great with animals and love to play and cuddle with them. Whether it’s fetch in the yard, a cozy nap inside, or just being around a loving family, your pet will get the care and companionship they deserve while you’re away.
“Andrew is a kind heart and knows how to look after dogs. My Carly has enjoyed her stay with him immensely playing with her buddy, Andrew‘s dog Dante I’m older and it’s hard to give my dog the exercise and stimulation that she needs. I know she’s in great hands with Andrew.”
“Bobbie is amazing! She watched our pup Ace a couple of times when we needed a sitter during the day. It always makes us a little nervous leaving our pup with someone new, but Bobbie took such great care of him, sending plenty of detailed updates. She also played with him a ton and even took him swimming, which he loves! Ace was exhausted when he got home and I could tell he was so well loved and cared for. Would recommend Bobbie one hundred times over, will definitely book with her again! Thanks Bobbie :)”
“It was our first time leaving our girl and Emily was so great with her!! I loved that midday I was sent an update and pictures of her playing with other pups!! We will definitely be booking again :)”
“This was my first time using Rover and Kimberly was great at explaining everything and making me and my dog feel comfortable. We did day care to see how my dog would do before boarding and it went well. Plus she sent many pictures & videos. Oakley is excited to come back again!”
“With my first puppy I quickly became worried i'd never be able to take a vacation. George eased my own separation anxiety and I was comfortable taking my first day trip away from my 8 month old puppy knowing she was safe and cared for.”
“Michele and her husband are such caring people and loved our little one so well. Our little one isn’t the easiest and they were very patient with her and took good care of her. I highly recommend using Michele to care for your pet.”
About: I have been caring for animals since i was young. I do everything from walking and playing to bathing and grooming.

South Rockwood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Chelsea was a delight and I am very happy to have chosen her to watch over my little Jazzy (my Pom) while I was away from home attending onsite meetings for work. She was very attentive from the start and he took to her immediately. She actively engages with the pets and she sent multiple pics throughout the day. I am definitely going to reach out to Chelsea the next time I need daycare assistance for my Jazzy!
Shanta was very loving and caring towards my puppy. She took wonderful care of her and kept me informed- even sending me pictures and videos during the day. She is very knowledgeable, answering any questions I had about general puppy care. I will absolutely use her again!
Working with Shant'a was a tremendously positive experience. This was our first time leaving our pup Leo with a babysitter, and she helped patiently guide us through the process, worked with us coming from our of state, and created such a welcoming environment that Leo eagerly zipped right into her home without a second glance at us. (OK, that part was a little disheartening, but clearly he was happy about it.) Six hours later we came by to collect him, expecting the eager welcome we get when coming home from work, but he seemed more like a kid being told "playtime is over, time to go home". Clearly he was in no rush to leave. Shant'a sent us some nice pics during his stay, and held to the routines we requested. No complaints! She's a delight and we hope to work with her again.
