“This was our first time using Rover, and Kelly was happy to meet with me and my dog before we booked. She is so warm and friendly, and her dog Suzie is a such a sweetheart. All on my part, but I did not realize my young dog would have separation anxiety with a very upset stomach, and Kelly handled things like a pro. I called my vet after our stay to see what calming options I could use in the future, and she told me Kelly was an excellent Rover host if she was able to get my dog's stomach back to normal. Kelly went above and beyond, feeding my dog a bland diet and trying home remedies we discussed over the phone to get her back to normal. She sent photos and communicated with me daily. I would absolutely recommend her to others!”

“Gabrielle is awesome. She is fantastic with Leo. She is great with dogs and Gabrielle their needs. She communicates a few times each day, sending pictures and letting you know everything is fine so you don't have to worry about your dog while you're away. Gabrielle's dog is very well mannered and great with other dogs. If you're looking for a fantastic and knowledgeable person to take care of your beloved pet, look no further. You'll have a hard time finding someone better than Gabrielle.”

“I was very lucky when I found Ilona S to care for my small pup, Lula. The original plan was that Lula would be able to join me at the VRBO my Family had rented so it was quite a surprise to find out that the property owners would not welcome any animals. So, the hunt began to find a space where she would be safe and welcomed. After speaking with Ilona S, I felt comfortable enough to book Luna's stay. And as soon as we arrived at her home, I knew we had made the best possible choice. Such a warm, friendly person. I met her Family and was impressed at how charming the house was decorated for the Fall season. Clean, tidy and festive! I received daily photos, video clips and texts about Lula's activity. All communications were clear. I would absolutely recommend Ilona S. for your board & care needs and will book her again should I require care for Lula. 5 Star Rating.”

We’ve thrown several curveballs his way with our pup being in a cone or recovering from an injury, and Mark always makes sure to accommodate. He also has taken some of the best pictures we have of our doggo.”

About: I have over 6 years of experience working in kennels caring for both dogs and cats of all ages. Along with several family friends and people in my community that I have sat for many many times. I have special training in providing medications in any form (Pills, ear/eye drops, topical medications, insulin injections, etc) and training/experience working with dogs of all temperaments (anxious, aggressive, energetic, reactive, etc.) I have a true passion and love for working with cat and dogs but am at not a point in my life where I can get on of my own, so I would love nothing more to spend some time with your fur baby! I am currently finishing up at school at Michigan State University but am commuting from my hometown for this semester. Fortunately I only have to be up in East Lansing for a couple of hours 2 days a week, and I am investing the rest of my time into my online classes. This has left my schedule pretty open for the upcoming months and I will be spending majority of my time with your pet during their stay! For those interested in boarding, I do live with my parents and a sibling, but they all love to have furry visitors and your pet is guaranteed to get an abundance of attention! When I care for someone else's pet I truly treat them as my own. I have great relationship with all of the clients I currently sit for and their pets. My main goal when sitting is to make sure that both the owner and the pet are entirely comfortable while they are in my care. To do this I try to create a very open line of communication and send frequent updates and pictures and make sure to ask questions rather than guessing how to care for someone else's pet.

“Nathan was absolutely fantastic with our three kitties for their short stay at his house. He was extremely friendly, attentive, and has extensive experience caring for cats. Our cats had a dedicated room at his house with enough space to sleep, play, eat, drink, and a window to look outside. This was our first time having our cats boarded at someone’s house and I was a little nervous beforehand, but instantly felt at ease once meeting Nathan and seeing where the cats would be staying. He also provided plenty of pictures and updates throughout the stay. Overall, very happy with the care and attention our cats received. I would 100% board my cats with Nathan again and recommend him to friends and family!”

This is the second time Kshama has watched our puppy and she does such a great job. My puppy gets along so well with her dog and comes home happy and tired from all the fun she had. Kshama is great with updates so you know your pup is well taking care of. I would highly recommend.

This was our dog's first time staying away from us and Ashley and her family made the entire experience so easy and reassuring. From our initial meet and greet, to drop off and pick up, they were kind, welcoming, and communicative. Ashley's calm and confident approach with our boy and other dogs is one of the things I appreciated the most. Ashley sent photo updates whenever we asked and then some, which meant the world to us. We could tell our boy was well taken care of and when we need a dog sitter again they will be our first option!

We had a great experience with Giselle. Our dog, Oden was well taken care of. She followed our instructions as to how to properly care for him. Giselle even took the time to let Oden explore her home before introducing her 2 dogs. She took the time to play tug with Oden because she knows that is his favorite activity. Giselle sent plenty of photos and videos to reassure us that he was engaged, safe and having a pleasant experience. We really appreciate the time and effort Giselle put into watching our fur baby, Oden. Lastly, we love her fair, competitive pricing and we will book again. Thanks again.

Haley is the BEST. She was super accommodating, communicative, and so attentive with my fur babies. She sent pictures throughout the days I was gone alongside little updates and my dogs looked so happy and at peace with her. Took them for walks, kept them energized, loved on them during nap time - you name it. 10/10 not only recommending her, but using her again for any of our needs while we are away. Your animals are in AMAZING hands with her. :)
