Andrew and his family are absolutely wonderful! It was a delight getting to know them, and my dog Bella had a very happy stay while I was away. Highly recommended!

My boarding experience with Lauren has been great. I felt really comfortable knowing she was well cared for during my extended trip away. Lauren is easy to communicate with and very responsive. We also do daycare with her and my Yorkie enjoys going back, which says a lot since she’s usually pretty anxious in environments outside of the house. Lauren is very kind and treats my little one like her own, and I really appreciate the care she gives her. We’ve had a great experience overall.

For the first time ever, I had to leave my dog son for more than a day and I was definitely very uncertain on this whole you know . I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch over my best friend and care for him like they did. Had me at ease while I was gone the whole time if you’re looking for the same reassurance, I was looking no further!

This was our first time using Rover. We selected Ellen because she had many positive reviews as well as multiple returning clients. We made the right choice selecting Ellen to watch our fur babies. She is extremely accommodating and understanding. Our 2 pups have a number of quirks, but Ellen worked with them and gave them a home away from home. She sent multiple pictures a day and some videos, along with an update of the daily activities. We will absolutely be using Ellen if we go away and need a sitter. I cannot speak any higher of Ellen. Highly recommend! Thanks again Ellen for putting our minds at ease.

About: I've been around dogs my entire life and can't imagine life without them. Growing up with dogs taught me how to care for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Today, I'm a proud Golden Retriever owner myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member. Over the years, I've regularly helped friends and family care for their dogs, whether that meant walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or simply providing companionship while they were away. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to provide dependable care. As a nurse, my schedule varies throughout the week. On the days I'm working, I'm generally unavailable for pet care. However, I have approximately four days each week completely free, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and pet sitting on my days off, and I'm especially happy to care for dogs during long weekends when my schedule allows. Because I know my work schedule in advance, I can communicate availability clearly and ensure your pet receives reliable, attentive care. When I'm with your pet, they will have my full attention, and I'll do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and happy while you're away. Pets staying in my home will be treated like part of the family. While I do not have a fenced backyard, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise and enrichment through multiple daily walks, outdoor time on leash, play sessions, and lots of attention throughout the day. My Golden Retriever, Olive, will also be present during stays. She is friendly, social, and loves having canine companions to play with. Of course, I always prioritize safety and will ensure that all introductions are done thoughtfully and that every dog is comfortable. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply relaxing in a home environment, I'll work to maintain their routine and make them feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and my goal is to provide a safe, loving, and fun home away from home.

Yi did a wonderful job taking care of my fur baby. She communicated well, sending pictures daily and letting me know how he was doing. This was the longest I’ve been away from him since we’ve had him, and I really appreciated how well she took care of him. She was friendly, responsive, attentive, and I didn’t have to worry about my dog being well taken care of. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!

Michelle and Nick are amazing! We went on a longer trip and were super nervous about leaving Lily behind, but they made the whole experience so easy. They sent us detailed daily updates along with photos from their day, which really put our minds at ease. They also welcomed us for a meet and greet at their home before booking so we could get to know them and have Lily meet them ahead of time. That extra step made a huge difference in how comfortable we felt. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet sitters!

My pup stayed with Lindsey for over a week. When we picked I picked him up, he was in the front yard with Lindsey. I stayed outside with him while she went inside to get his things. He whined for her when she went inside. That told me so much about how much he loved staying with her. We will 100% contact Lindsey the next time we go out of town.
