“This was first time using Rover, and Lauren and Cody did a great job watching the dogs. The daily updates and pics were much appreciated. With the fireworks from the 4th going off, they made sure the dogs were taken care of. Would bring them back for another stay.”


“I can’t say more amazing things about Chauna and her son going above and beyond for our Minnie girl! She boarded with them for a week and a half and made our girl feel like one of their own and that is all we could of asked for! From daily pics and updates to how she was doing overall, we were so relieved she was in the best hands possible! She bonded with her other dogs well and that made us feel at ease! She is always top notch, very communicative and understanding. She goes out of her way to give the absolute best love and care to Minnie! ❤️”


“Kristin is amazing! I recently went out of town for vacation and when I do I normally use Kleinpeter boarding but this trip was last minute and they were already full for the holidays so I had to use Rover. Luckily I came across her profile and decided to use her because her profile fit the type of experience I was looking for, for my puppers. I’m so glad I did. She was attentive to my Velcro dog (Weimaraner) and kept we updated with pictures and videos throughout the board. I will definitely be using her again! She is a natural with caring for pets and loved my Ruger like her very own. Highly recommend!”


“Jessica is beyond amazing! She keeps me updated and I feel like my little girl is safe with her. She’s amazing with my high anxiety dog and I can tell she is well cared for while with her! I wouldn’t want to use anyone else!”


“Claire did a wonderful job caring for our elderly dog Ellie! She was responsive and understanding when we needed a little bit of extended time on our way home due to bad weather!”


“Ariana did so amazing with Pongo! He got lots of exercise and attention. She sent plenty of updates including pictures. He was on tummy meds which she kept up with perfectly. Overall if I could give 10 stars I would!!”


“Booking with Teresa was the best decision I ever made! She’s the sweetest and took the best care of my Jackie! You can tell that she genuinely cares for dogs. She even took the cutest pictures of my pup! Definitely book with her if you want to be able to have confidence that your pup is having the best care!”


“Jayme is great. My dog loved her from the second she saw her so I knew she would be in great hands. She stayed in touch the whole time, to let me know how my dog was doing. We plan to continue to have Jayme dog sit & have already booked with her again.”


“My dog is older and has meds she needs to take on a daily basis. Joyce took great care of her while I was out of town. I definitely would recommend her to others looking to board their dogs.”


“Awesome experience! Gabby provided outstanding service for my Maggie. Her home is pet friendly and cozy. Her pups and mine got along great and had a fantastic weekend playing together.”


“Darralann was fantastic! We are from out of state and she was very flexible as we sorted out our travel plans. We received many photos and updates throughout Tucker's stay and we could tell he had a great time while staying in her home. We've recommended her to local friends for their three dogs and next time we're in the area visiting, we will certainly reach out to her again.”


“This is our 3rd time sending Bella to Kourtney! We will continue to be a repeat customer because of how amazing Kourtney is with Bella. Kourtney is also very accommodating, she approved our booking extremely last minute and even allowed me to adjust the booking when we got home early! We know Bella loves staying with Kourtney, just not sure if she wants to come back home haha!!!!”


About: With over 7 years of hands-on experience and a lifelong love for animals, I bring genuine passion and reliability to every pet I care for. As a dedicated pet parent to two happy, well-loved dogs, I understand the importance of trust, safety, and personalized attention. I treat every pet like family—because that’s exactly what they deserve. As a self-employed bakery owner, I have the flexibility to make my own schedule—meaning I’m available any time of day to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening visits, I can adapt to meet your pet’s needs. I follow your pet’s routine closely, provide loving care, and keep your home tidy—ensuring comfort, safety, happiness, and plenty of tail wags while you’re away.

About: I have been a professional dog walker and house sitter for the last five years and have cared for personal animals since I was very young. I have extensive experience with XL, guardian, and dominant breed dogs. All breeds, ages, and issues welcome. There are no bad dogs in my experience! (-: Experienced with administering medications, potty training, puppies, and specialized diets (raw, prescription, cooked, etc). I work remotely so I am available in home 24 hours a day. I am not in a meeting heavy role so scheduled days are not a problem for me. I ask for a specific list of items to be left out while in home to ensure everyone’s safety. I will only use leashes, harnesses/collars provided by you, no outside treats, food, or toys will be given unless explicitly approved beforehand. I always do fence checks before letting dogs out to potty in a back yard, and leashed walks are always given undivided attention.

“Mary is fantastic! She is so patient and loving especially with skittish, surly cats! My cat Kaleb never takes to anyone and when he came back from all of the other places he was skinny, had lost a lot of his fur and took a long time to get back to his old self. With Mary he warmed up to her in about 2 days and even rubbed her leg. When I came to pick him up he was down for the night and very comfortable, understandably he did not want to come with me and that has never happened before. He loves it there and so do I! Mary and Dana are the absolute best out there! I most definitely will book with her again and again and again..”


About: I have had a wide variety of different types of pets throughout my life such as (snakes, hedgehogs, raccoons, pigs, chickens, etc.). Having learned to care for each and every one of them. Has provided me with substantial knowledge in how to deal with pets whether puppies or full grown large dog breeds. In 2024, I rescued my German shepherd. When we got him he was only 4 months old and in critical condition, suffering from starvation and diseases. Throughout my care I have been able to provide my dog a happy and healthy ongoing life. I’m a full-time college student however, I am currently on summer break and am available at your service 24/7 to provide the best pet care possible. I have several acres of land for your pet to play on as well as a pond for your baby to swim in! Along with 1 very friendly dog for your pup to play with. My yard is unfenced, so pups will be supervised when playing outside. I can crate your pup throughout the night if needed.

About: Hi, I’m Annika, and I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life! Growing up in a home filled with love and pets—dogs, cats, rabbits and even a few chickens —I developed a deep bond with animals early on. I understand that pets are more than just companions; they’re family. Whether your furry friend needs long walks, cozy cuddles, or playtime that matches their energy, I’ll provide the same care and attention I’d give my own. Let me help make your pet feel loved and happy, even when you can’t be there! I work from home most days, except for Tuesdays, which gives me plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, your furry friend will have my full focus and care throughout the day. I have experience with both dogs and cats. My 10-year-old German Shepherd, gets along well with both, requiring only a short introduction. We go on walks every day, and she is fully updated on all vaccinations, ensuring a healthy environment for all pets in my care. She’s an indoor dog and sleeps in my room in her own bed, so your pet will have a comfortable and safe space too. I’ve also dog-sat for my coworker’s Husky and Lab, and it went wonderfully! I’ve also had the pleasure of watching my best friend’s hilarious pug, who became a great friend to my girl. Raised with cats, she frequently visits my parents’ home, which is full of cats, her two best friends Monty, a mixed terrier, and Bayou, a black lab, and even chickens. Your pet will feel right at home!
