“Joscelyn did an amazing job watching my two boxers. They almost didn't want to come home afterwards. We'll definitely be back as long as she'll have them. Her kids played well with the dogs and they had access to her fenced in back yard and inviting dog-friendly home. Thanks for all the great care you gave my dogs while they were with you. They are in great spirits and seem like they just went on a little vacation. Looking forward to future bookings.”
“Not only does LV love Azzure but so do we! She is dependable, flexible, consistent! We use her during the fall a lot but also for all school breaks!!! We appreciate her and you would as well!!!”
“Natalie was super friendly! Her backyard was perfectly setup for my young golden retriever. Lots of space for her to run around and play. I got lots of pictures of Nova playing with the other pups, and she fell asleep immediately after we got home, so she sure had a fun day. Would definitely recommend booking with Natalie!”
“Allison and Nick were so great, you can tell how much they love animals!! We got lots of good updates and they took such good care of our pup. Their big backyard with a tall fence is perfect. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!”
“Our little Morkie LOVES when we drive up to Anne’s home! He must know he’s gonna get lots of love and attention from sweet Anne and have lots of fun playmates for a few days! We are definitely repeat customers!”
“My two little ones were right at home with Heather. She has a welcoming environment and plenty of space for pups to run and play around in. I would highly recommend Heather and will definitely be using again!”
“Jennifer has sat my 17 lb Eskimo dog mix twice now, and each time she has been easy to work with, communicative, friendly, and professional. I'm really grateful that she's been available when I'm in town visiting family.”
“I have never left my dogs before and was very nervous about it. But Stephanie was amazing!!! She sent me pictures and updated me and I never felt more comfortable while on vacation. She’s truly a gem and animal lover. I would 100% recommend.”
“Megan was great! She was very communicative and always sent us update photos to ensure us that our pup was okay! Would definitely love to have Megan take care of our Momo again next time!”
“Caitlin is great! Our cat has to take medicine and she was resisting it with being in a new environment. Caitlin worked to find a new option and kept us informed on her progress. We’re already planning a second booking.”
“First time we ever left our Husky, Lara did great! I was so worried Luna would be loud and obnoxious the whole time. But she kept luna so busy and happy! I loved that she sent me pictures and updates of our girl❤️”
About: I have been taking care of pets, mainly dogs and cats for as long as I can remember! I grew up with dogs and would take care of my neighbors animals when they went on vacation. I would also take my neighbors dogs on walks and do drop in visits if they got stuck at work or had other obligations. I work from home remotely so you can have the peace of mind that your pet wont be left unsupervised for long periods of time. The way I care for pets in the clients home is ensure I arrive on time to guarantee your pet gets the exact amount of care and attention scheduled. Every drop in I follow a strict checklist to ensure comprehensive care. My rough checklist for Drop Ins/Walks: -Immediate outdoor break with exercise -Feeding and fresh water and if needed, administer medications. -Clean up litter boxes if taking care of cats and cleaning up any possible accidents -Affection and more playtime and mental stimulation for higher energy dogs/cats. -Any other requests just ask & I will fit those into my checklist Once I leave your home I triple check to make sure your pet is secure, all windows, and doors are locked. I treat your home as its mine when I'm leaving so you never have to worry about your home being secured.
About: I hope what the pets owners like is that I am verry responsible and enjoy the company of pets. I have a dogs and a cat which I treat them like family. I will also make sure that they dont feel homesick provinding them with a safe space. Last but not less important I will play with the dogs so they dont get bored or lonely. I enjoy all types of dogs but mostly a puppy or little dogs but can take care of bug dogs. I hope that you will feel okey with letting a family member eith me. I'm currently working part-time. I would have time to take care of the pups and give them lots of love. I'm also available during weekends. I think communication is key. I time to have schedule for them including feeding times and walk time. I also need list of allergies in case I make puppy treats.
“Morgan was wonderful not only to set up but she treated my dog like she was hers during her stay.. Took her for a walk, had her dog available for playtime, sent pics, had plenty of toys for her to play with... We will be using her in the future as she is in a very convenient location for us along with how well she treated my dog, Thank You Morgan!!”
“April was very accommodating with our dog ! We scheduled a meet and greet and found time for me to do a trial boarding day before our week long vacation! We feel very safe with our senior dog under her care !”
“Melissa was great! I got update ms and pics everyday! Whitney had an absolutely great stay! Thank you Melissa! We will be return customers for sure!”

“Erin was very attentive, loving and compassionate with our Corgi, Bilbo, while he was in her care/house for several hours, while we attended a birthday party. She even sent us a picture of our happy boy, while boarding at her place. Highly recommended 👍😊”
Southwood Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
Amara took great care of our boy Moon. She sent photos and videos of him all throughout his stay, and he looked at ease and happy in all of them. The large play yard was a perfect place for him to run and explore, and it felt good knowing he was getting play time and snuggles while we were gone. Will definitely call on Amara again.
She was great with my dog, super communicative, sent pics/vids, and was flexible when my plans changed. Being new to town, I was nervous leaving my dog with a stranger, but she made the whole thing smooth and my dog seemed to enjoy his time with her. Definitely would recommend!
I had such an amazing experience! Mitchel went above and beyond while watching my dog. He sent daily videos and pictures, kept me updated the whole time, and made me feel so at ease while I was away. My dog looked so happy and comfortable in every update, and when I picked her up, she was clearly well taken care of and in great spirits! I could tell she had the best time. I’ll definitely be booking again — highly recommend!
Thank you Eliza!! Our pups were so happy and calm when we picked them up last night. You have such a welcoming and calm home, thank you for sharing it with us 😊 Review: Eliza was great with communication and sent lots of pictures and notes to let us know how our dogs were doing. Her home is beautiful and very dog friendly, and her other fur babies are happy and friendly. Great experience!!
