“Highly recommend! Courtney is such an animal lover. I never had any worries knowing that she would take care of our dog like her own. She boarded our 10 month old pup two weekends in a row and sent so many videos and pictures of her and the other dogs having the best time. The second weekend we dropped off our pup she was so excited to go back!”


About: I've been around dogs and cats since I was 5 years old. My parents always had a dog and or cat in our home. I continued helping my mom train her dogs after moving out on my own.i recently got my own house and now my husband and I have a 2 year old chocolate lab that we just adore. I love taking him for walks and going to the dog park. I have expirence with all breeds and will provide a safe loving home away from home for your dog I work from home so I have flexibility to make sure your pet is well cared for. I also could provide dog walking in the afternoon and everything after 4pm most days. I have a fenced in back yard and a chocolate lab named Diesel who loves to play with other dogs. My house offers a clean and safe environment, with room for a crate if your dog is crate trained.

“I had Laura dog sit my 1.5 year old beagle Chewie. We were nervous leaving him for the first time but Laura and her family made us feel really comfortable and feeling like he was in good hands. Not only did we get updates during his stay, but also pictures showing us just how ok he was. He was well taken care of and excited to go back. I would definitely recommend Laura's services over and over again.”
Southgate dog parents share their Rover experiences
I appreciated Lisa's willingness to spend time with my dog, prior to boarding beginning. Lisa has a playful and affectionate manner that my dog immediately responded to. He was obviously comfortable with her, which gave me peace of mind to leave him with Lisa for 2 weeks. She's great, and I highly recommend her!

Only the second time we have gone on a long trip without our dog and our first experience using River. Tommy had a great time and we felt very comfortable with him staying with Mandi and Jeff and their pups. They were very caring and easy to work with. They also sent plenty of photos and messages during the stay which was greatly appreciated. Hoping Tommy can come back for another stay sometime soon.

Tracie is a considerate and conscientious caregiver for my two older Pugs. My girls need various Eye Drops, special diet and medication’s. Tracie took good care of them and made sure that they were happy and safe. I would definitely use her again for future pet care. One thing to keep in mind is that Tracie owns a fearful dog who is uncomfortable with people visiting the house. So I was not able to see her home; I simply had to drop my girls off and pick them up in the front of her house. Everything was fine.

Absolutely amazing experience! I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and I loved receiving photo updates while I was away, it gave me total peace of mind. My pup was clearly in great hands and came home happy and well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking again, highly recommend!

Breonna watched my 2 chiweenies for 4 days while I went on a trip. She took such great care of them and they were happy and relaxed when I picked them up. She was very communicative and kept me updated during the days they were with her. Additionally, Breonna is a lovely person, and I felt very secure leaving Meatball and Nikki in her care. I would absolutely ask her to watch my pups again!
