“First time utilizing Kyle’s services for my 2 miniature shitzhus and it was absolutely amazing. It’s the first time I had to use this kind of service and honestly, it’s been nothing short of exceptional. Kyle provided videos throughout the evening so I could feel comfortable with the whole process - it was nice to notice my dogs having fun with another dog Kyle was doggy sitting. Communication was very smooth. I highly recommend and will definitely be utilizing his services again.”
About: **Serious Inquiries Only *** With over 10 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I have developed a deep understanding and passion for working with small dog breeds and puppies. Throughout my career, I’ve been dedicated to providing top-tier care for both puppies and adult small breeds, helping them thrive in loving, healthy environments. I have worked extensively with a variety of small dog breeds, including Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, Yorkies, Shih Tzus, and Dachshunds. My experience spans everything from basic pet care and feeding to behavior management, training, and health monitoring. I specialize in the unique needs of small dogs, including their dietary requirements, exercise routines, and socialization skills. My approach is centered around building trust and positive relationships with the pets in my care. With puppies, I focus on early socialization, potty training, and establishing consistent routines to set them up for a well-adjusted adulthood. With adult small dogs, I work on maintaining good health, managing behavioral issues, and fostering strong bonds between pet and owner. I’m particularly passionate about understanding the individual personalities of each dog, ensuring they receive personalized care that meets their specific needs. My extensive background in pet care has allowed me to not only enhance the lives of the dogs I care for but also provide valuable advice and support to their owners, helping them navigate the joys and challenges of dog ownership. I am dedicated to provide my full attention to your pup throughout their entire stay! If it’s boarding or just a fun day at doggy day camp I can ensure your pup will have a great time! I have a fenced in back yard , plenty of toys and activities to keep your pup busy! My home has central air conditioning for hot summer days . I also have a small male shitzu to keep your pup company during their stay .
“Our Havanese enjoyed his time with Anne! She was communicative with drop off/pickup and providing us updates. She bonded with our dog over the weekend he boarded with her. Taking him out for 4 walks, a pupcone at Starbucks and treats/meals we had provided - she was an ideal petsitter. We would definitely use her again if the opportunity comes up.”
“Pam and Marshall were so helpful with watching our dog. Our puggle is a little older and requires some medication as well as some extra care when being walked. They were able to accommodate our dog and even were flexible when he had a minor medical emergency. Thank you so much!!!”
“Craige accommodated my last-minute request to board my pup for 4 days and made my first Rover experience seamless. He was upfront and transparent during the meet-and-greet, answering all my questions and putting my mind at ease. His home is clean, and he was attentive to my pup’s needs, keeping me updated with photos. I highly recommend Craige for anyone looking for an affordable and reliable dog sitter!”
“Brittany was awesome. This was the first time my dog was away from me and she made him feel comfortable and welcome. She sent lots of pictures of what they were doing. I will definitely use her again!”

University Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
RTakia was an excellent sitter for my fur baby. She sent photos and videos on a regular basis, which I greatly appreciated, and continued to spoil my Piper, just as I do. She allowed her on her furniture and treated her as another member of the family. I will definitely use Takia again!🤗
Lulu has a great time staying with Susan. I get great pictures and videos so I know Lulu is having fun. And that makes my trips more fun too! There are usually a couple of nice pups there so Lulu is never bored. Susan is my go to when I need to go out of travel.
We couldn't be happier with Alyssa, and our dogs loved their weekend stay with her! We got updates about both how they were behaving and the activities they did. We could tell she was making efforts to keep the two of them entertained and stimulated, as they came back exhausted. We also got videos and pictures that were very entertaining and reassuring while we were gone. Our dogs can be difficult and have a few things to keep track of, but this did not seem to bother Alyssa and she exceeded our expectations! We will be repeating this experience and would recommend her to our family and friends.
Mareika was able to watch our dog on short notice and we’re glad we found her! Clear communication, provided updates during his stay and was an easy drop off/pickup process. Our dog can be anxious in a new space but he adapted quickly with Mareika and her pup. We’d absolutely recommend her!
Tara and Peter were great hosts for our Louie. We got regular video and photo updates and Louie seemed engaged and happy with their other dogs. They communicated and eased our nerves with a meet and greet. We asked if they could be flexible with our pick up time since we were flying home and they were understanding and even said they could keep Louie an additional night if we landed late. We would definitely use them again in the future.
Zsolt and Renata took wonderful care of my pup, Ollie. They asked thoughtful questions about his routine to help him feel right at home. I also really appreciated the regular updates, including photos and videos. I would absolutely recommend trusting them with your dog — your dog will be in excellent hands. Thank you so much Zsolt, Renata, and Mia! - Valentina and Ollie
Annamarie was fantastic! Very communicative and kind, and so so sweet and loving with our boy :) She took such good care of him he didn’t want to leave! And we enjoyed our vacation so much more knowing he was in such good hands. Will definitely be boarding with her again.
