“This was our first experience with Rover. Cranesha responded promptly to emails. She was attentive and caring with our dog. Her young daughter also loves caring for dogs. I appreciate that Cranesha's full time job is caring for the dogs.”
“Patience IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. She is very Loving & caring for you fur baby, This is the first time we have left our baby with someone other than family, & we were worried how we would all do. After meeting Patience we felt he was in excellent hands. She was in constant contact by sending pictures of him throughout the day. He was there for 2 weeks & settled in really good after couple days. He gets anxious when we leave him anywhere but Patience calmed our fears. By day 3 he was rolling on his back playing catch with a baby. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PATIENCE FOR ANY & ALL CARE NEEDS. Our fur baby is 16 & really LOVED IT THERE. Her place is very calming, clean, & well maintained. HE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK!!! YHZNK YOU PATIENCE you can be confident your Durban is well cared for with patience.”

Thank you for taking such great care of my girl!”

About: I have grown up around animals my whole life. I am a mom of 3 cats and fostered a dog recently. Animals aren’t just pets, they are family. They are important and I take that to heart! I work full time, M-F 7-4. However I’m home every night and have plenty of time in the evenings for play times, cuddles, and of course dinner & treats. Weekends I’m always home and if I run errands it’s only for an hour or two. I love walks and visiting the dog parks! I don’t own any crates, so if they are crated they will need to come with it. However I have a fenced in backyard, and lots of toys to entertain with! I do have a house with 3 cats but they aren’t bothered by dogs and get along very well. All animals aren’t welcome on the couch and the beds. I want them to be as comfortable as possible!
“Our German Shepherd had a great time visiting for five days. He got to play a lot and rest a lot. Jana kept us up to date on pics and videos. I will use her again in the future.”
