Kathy and Roy took fantastic care of our dog. Kathy sent 50 pictures during a 4 night stay with daily summary of what our dog did and how she behaved. Our dog really enjoyed the fenced in yard as well as Kathy’s pet friendly home. From the minute we met Kathy and Roy we knew they really cared about dogs as well as all animals. We had a wonderful experience and have already booked another stay for our dog.

Jennifer took great care of our Roxy, she sent us pictures and kept us constantly updated. She accommodated me needing to come a little earlier and also accommodated my very late arrival due to weather. I can tell Roxy was well loved 💕💕

Denise and Brett were amazing with Xena. Upon drop off, both asked questions regarding Xena’s specific needs, barriers, etc to make sure she was comfortable and “at home” . I would highly recommend and will be using again in the future!

Carol was wonderful! Our 6 month old GSD is full of energy and can be a lot for some people, but they handled her just fine. When we picked her up she was so content and happy, and was wore out from all of the exciting walks she was able to go on while staying with Ms. Carol.

We had a wonderful experience with Nathalie watching our dog, Rocky. She was very professional but also friendly and welcoming. She sent us daily photos and videos. Rocky had a wonderful time running and playing with other dogs in the large fenced yard. I highly recommend Nathalie!

Frances took such great care of my fur babies! I felt 100% confident leaving them with her. They were free to have full reign of the home as if they lived there. They also had a nice big back yard to explore if they wanted. She gave them extra perks like watermelon on a hot day (we talked in advance about treats) and a cooling mat to lie on. Don’t look any further! You’ve found a gem 💎

I was skeptical at first after seeing the cage our dog, Fiona, would be housed in. However, seeing the large yard made me feel better as she is your and full of energy and loves to run. Marcella took good care of Fiona based on the pictures and videos sent daily during her stay. Also, Fiona was clean and happy when we picked er up. If we travel without our dog in the future, Marcela will be our go-to,

Jade was absolutely wonderful watching our dog, Possha. She’s caring, concerned, loving and so informative to us as we were on vacation. It took a while for Possha to warm up being in a danger and different home but a couple of days in Possha became one of her own pets. She sent a picture of Possha sleeping on her shoulder. I was so touched. Yes we were very very pleased to have Jade watch our Possha!!! Thank you Jade from the bottom of our hearts! Colleen & Dennis Malec

Our dog is very shy and easily frightened in new circumstances. We ran into unexpected challenges when she had difficulty adjusting to new surroundings, but Joyce very patiently worked with her to help her feel safe and secure. We appreciate how she went the extra mile and kept us informed as we traveled. She was a lifesaver!???

Morgan was wonderful. Easy to communicate with. We met ahead of time at her place so the dogs could meet her and see where they would be staying. Everything went smoothly and easy. Dogs were happy when I picked them up. I was happy to see them and see they had been well taken care of how I was away. I would highly recomend Morgan.

This was only my fur baby's second time away from home so I was worried about how she would adapt being in someone else's home. Monica was a great fit for my dog! She kept me updated with messages and photos throughout the entire duration of the stay and I couldn't have had a better sitter for my dog!

Lisa was a perfect match for our little Mia! We highly recommend Lisa to anyone that needs to leave their fur baby in the best of hands! This was the first time we have had to leave Mia with someone that we really didn’t know well as well as using the Rover app. After our very first meet and greet it honestly felt like a huge weight was lifted. I wasn’t as nervous about leaving her. Lisa sent regular updates and it was obvious when we came home to get Mia that she was well cared for and had enjoyed her. It was very obvious Mia had made herself at home. Thank you Lisa, we will definitely be calling on you again.

About: I've grown up with pets in my home all my life, (until very recently) have always had at least a dog in the family. I have experience with many different breeds ranging from large pit bulls to tiny terriers. I have experience with different stages of life ranging from newborn puppies to deaf and blind elderly dogs. Our whole family has an intense love of animals and nature. I also have experience with house sitting for cats, birds and guinea pigs as well. I have open availability and ability to be flexible with my schedule in regard to drop-ins, walks or boarding. I have a large yard that is not fenced in but have plenty of space to have safe leashed walks along with areas to play. Please feel free to message me with any questions. I have open availability during the week as well as weekends and overnight. I am available to keep your pet at my home as well as reliably come to your home for walks and care. I currently have no other pets in the home. I have multiple dog beds and also a medium size crate on hand along with plenty of dog toys and treats.

Anne is very attentive and caring. She goes above and beyond when caring for you pet. She takes photos and give updates to keep you informed. If you have an older pet she is a great choice.

Lisa is wonderful! Bosco can be a little finicky and ‘moody’— and certainly doesn’t like kennels. So we tried Rover and were blessed enough to find Lisa! Thank you again— and will likely check in with Lisa to make sure she’s available before even planning our next trip!
