Erin and Chris are amazing! Their family took such great care of my dog, sent lots of photos, and were very quick in responding to my messages. My pup and I are both excited to book more stays with them in the future!

Justin was great to work with! He asked great questions at drop off to get to know our dog and care for him well. Would recommend him and use him again in the future! He was also transparent about other dogs he was boarding the same time ours was there.

I could tell my dog was so happy during her stay and she returned to us so tired from playing all day. Ashley is great at communicating, treated my dog as her own, and her dogs are so friendly!

Jessica took care of my dog Iommi for a long weekend while I traveled out of state for my brother's wedding. It was my first time leaving Iommi and Jessica was the perfect person to leave her with. I was admittedly anxious about leaving Iommi for the first time, but as soon as I arrived the morning of drop-off Jessica made me feel 100% at ease. She took care of Iommi like she was her own and I know Iommi had a great time staying with Jessica and her family and playing with her dog Rip. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for care for their pet! I will definitely be booking with Jessica again!

Casandra was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! She provided me with daily photos and updates and provided my pups with constant fun and enrichment. They were free to roam her (fenced) yard and enjoyed napping on the bed. I very highly recommend Casandra if you ever need a reliable dogsitter!

Our pup loved her stay with Kalanie! I feel confident she was treated like family. Kalanie’s dogs are so friendly and my pup enjoyed her time with them. She was so happy when we picked her up and she took a nice long nap when she got home.

This was my first time looking for a sitter and I am a first time pet owner so you can imagine the worries of making sure you found a good sitter! Sue was the first and only sitter i got in touch with! She is extremely friendly, and a great communicator, I even did a pre-trip visit with my cat bento to where he would be staying with her! After leaving bento with Sue for over a week, it is safe to say that Sue is the best at what she does, I would never look for another sitter again!

About: I've grown up around dogs and have a passion for animals. I have succeeded in training my current puppy in multiple commands and managed to have him fully housebroken by the age of 4 months. I typically work from home Mondays and Fridays and can check on pets at regular intervals. Occasionally I may run 1-2 hour long errands while the dogs play in the back yard. My current dog is a loving 4 month old Great Pyrenees/GSD mix who has a wonderful temperament and is a perfect early socialization experience for nervous dogs. There is a decent-sized fenced in yard for dogs to run around in complete with a plastic kiddie pool to help cool off on Sunny days. While inside the dogs will be regulated to the kitchen and living areas.

I would highly recommend Patty. She is very responsive, and would send lots of pictures and videos while our dog was with her. Prior to booking she let us do a meet and greet, which was great so we could meet her and her dog. We knew out dog was in good hands.

They were so friendly and were so good to my dog. They sent pictures throughout the day and he came back tired from playing with their other dogs the whole time. I would without a doubt go back to them to have my dog for the night.

This was my first time using Rover.com. I was nervous to leave Layla with anyone but family and close friends. I received updates, pictures, and a video which was greatly appreciated and put me at ease! Layla has a lot of energy and was able to play with other dogs and got along very well with Ashley! I will definitely bring her again! Thank you so much!

Callie and her family are terrific and we won’t hesitate to book with them again. Our shy dog took to them like long lost friends. I feel confident he was living his best life when he stayed with them. She sent photos throughout his stay so I could feel at ease. Can’t recommend enough!

I’m extremely pleased with the care provided by Megan when she took care of my 2 dogs for 6 days/5 nights while I was out of state on vacation. I had never left them that long with anyone before, and one of mine (Callie) is very attached to me and has some separation anxiety. But my fears were put to rest by Megan’s kind and reassuring manner when we first met and even more so when she sent me updates and several pictures every day to let me know how my pups were doing. She let me know my 2 pups were getting along well with her 2 little dogs, and the pictures reinforced they were making themselves at home. I really appreciated that she has a large fenced in yard for the dogs since mine are used to that. I will definitely use Megan again and am so relieved to know I can leave my dogs with her and they will be well cared for. She is awesome! I highly recommend her.

Scott just finished watching our puppy for 10 days and it was the best experience for Booker and us! Daily pics and videos provided me with total reassurance that he was having a great time and being well cared for! No doubt that we will be using his services again in the near future. THANK YOU SCOTT!

Jasmine was excellent with watching two of my dogs, Toby and Leia! She already had a full house of her own but she made sure my pups were comfortable and happy while my partner and I were away. Highly recommend!

Jessica is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of my Golden Retriever, LeRoy. I love the fact she communicates with me daily with text messages and pictures. She is very warm and friendly and was great with my boy.
