“A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Andrea & family were incredible. First time leaving my fur baby with someone other than family. Certainly I was a bit nervous. I chose Andrea based on her reviews and genuine smile on the profile. She lived up to expectation and the reviews. Daily photo and updates were provided without request. She even bathe my boy, sent him home so fresh and so clean. I am certain I will be booking in the future, Thank you again for your warmth and care for Pooh! :-)”
“Kara was wonderful! This was our first time using Rover and I’m so glad we found Kara. Our dog had such a fun time with her dogs and family. She sent us photos of Saint during his stay. She was so responsive from the beginning all the way through. You can tell she loved on our Saint like she loves on her own family.”
“Our experience with Kayla was wonderful. Teddy was well loved and cared for. He was happy and playful. Kayla sent updates and photos daily. I would highly recommend her services and looking forward to booking with her again in the future.”
“Sandra and Mark were absolutely wonderful! I couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters. They were incredibly friendly, caring, and clearly love spending time with dogs. My dog had such a great time with them — they played with him a lot and kept him entertained the whole time. Sandra was also amazing about sending regular updates, letting me know how he was doing, what activities he was up to, and how he was feeling. Those updates really gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious that they treated my dog like their own and made sure he felt comfortable and happy. I’m so grateful for the care and attention they gave him. I would absolutely recommend Sandra and Mark to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely kind dog sitters. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!”
“Matt did a fantastic job with our pets. Not only did he send daily pictures, he provided detailed description of their behavior. His experience as a dog trainer gave new insight and he even provided tips on how I can work with them on my own. His property is amazing and has plenty of space for the dogs to run, conveniently located in North Columbus. Highly recommend and will book again!”
“I was able to book with Casey last minute and she took great care of my Sweetie. When my cousin picked my dog up she said my dog was walking around like she was home and comfortable. I would definitely rebook and you should too.”
About: Taken care of all animals different pieces and sizes! I live to go on runs so if your doggo needs some energy expenditure I can make that happen run usually span from 2 miles up to 13miles! My doggies run every other day and go to the dog park every day in between! Very quiet household! So if you need your doggies tired just let me know! Live in a large apartment so there is plenty of space for them to play but pets are taken out for runs and dog park pretty much every day.
“Christina was a fantastic sitter for our large dog. We were confident our dog had a fun staycation with plenty of playtime, pets, and attention while in Christina’s care. She sent us updates and cute pictures of our dog having a great time. Book with Christina. We definitely will be again! Thank you”
“Alona is absolutely amazing!! Very attentive and detailed. She communicates well with updates and she really put my mind at ease when I needed a dog sitter in a clutch. My 🐕 was so happy when I picked him up that he didn’t want to leave 😃 I will definitely call her to dog sit again. Thanks Alona!!!”

Lenoxx has a new playmate. I would highly recommend this sitter and look forward to using them again in the future 🫶🏾☺️.”

“Mrs Catherine is the best person that took care of my golden doodle and this’s priceless to me. I really love that she was sending pictures and videos every single day and updating me on how Karol was doing.

During my lunch I will go home to relieve my dog I will go outside with my dog in the fenced park of my neighborhood. If I am caring for your animals at your residence I will make sure the yard is fenced and gates are closed, if there is no enclosed yard I will take them on several walks!
“Jessie was a huge help! I needed someone fast after moving to the area and she definitely delivered. It's very difficult to find someone willing to work around your schedule so the dogs are happy. I'm definitely going to use her again. Very professional and cares about my dogs.”
About: I have grown up with multiple cats throughout my life. They are the sweetest and softest friend to have around. My cats over the years have been very different personalities so I have seen many. My cats have also had medical conditions so I am familiar with medication administration and particular requirements they may need.

I’ve always loved animals and will always ask to pet them while walking on the street I have lots of free time while waiting for my classes to start and would love to make extra money for that time that needs to be filled My dog is a very chill dog.

Even though our dog wasn't with her very long, she sent me a picture of her cuddling with her children on the couch. I have already made another appointment and i also plan to use Heather when we get a couple of cats.”

About: Hi! I’m Alexis, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so I know they aren’t “just pets”, they’re family. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and cuddly, or somewhere in between. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, and to care for them just as I would my own. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry best friend, so I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages to give you peace of mind. Whether it’s walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get all the love and attention they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup and become someone you can trust whenever you need a helping hand! I'm a recent college graduate so I am home fulltime and have more than enough time available to love on your fur baby! There is nothing better than having furbaby love! I do not have a fenced in backyard but will be more than happy to take your furry baby on a walk, welcome them into my apartment and/or drop in and see how they are doing!
About: We have housetrained countless puppies in a range of breeds during our years breeding dogs and then further rescuing multiple abandoned litters, and routinely care for all ages in our capacity as a boarding home. We have served so many fellow military families by caring for their companions in our 9 years stationed at Ft. Benning, which began as word of mouth just helping others take leave or tdy and is now also here on Rover. We have greeted new families to the area, and sent many along with well wishes as they continue their journey to a new base. We have alot of knowledge and experience working with animals, and are dedicated to responsible and intelligent care for those so important to others; understanding what makes a particular breed unique and filling their required needs, most especially providing the necessary amount of exercise and stimulation their breed needs to thrive and be happy. This is a fulltime job that our family of 9 is well-equipped and well-seasoned to provide due to our flexible home schooling schedule and 24/7 at home care schedule. We are a small farm with many animals from mini cows to budgies. Our life revolves around animal care and we are home nearly 24/7 because of it. We shine by taking high energy breeds that we run with for several miles, or difficult dogs that many others dont know how to handle, which is strongly reflected in our rates. To be clear, we do not accept aggressive dogs, but rather those that are high maintenance. Your pups receive alot of attention and exercise, they do not sit in crates or get shut in the house all day, and we do not leave them here alone, ever. To be honest, i really tried to lower my rates and thereby accepted only lower maintenance pups for awhile, but the majority of my requests are from aussies, german shepherds, belgian malinois etc and these breeds, simply put, require more awareness and intelligence than your average golden retriever does. We are accustomed to handling and training dogs such as our own grand champion line american akita. So with that in mind, we are back at it, and i got a new pair of running shoes ;) We customize activities based on how they respond to their surroundings. Some prefer to nap in a quiet room, some keep track of our numerous song birds and squirrels at the windows and glass doors. Those that enjoy the company of children get alot of attention and playtime, and our toddlers are convinced treat containers are bottomless. We are very careful with poisonous items such as houseplants, rest assured none are accessible during their stay!
“Omgoodness….I so wish I had found you sooner. You were amazing and so sweet to my baby! He had an amazing time. Thank you for taking such good care of him and for all the updates with pictures and videos. It always takes a load off when we know we can go to work and someone takes care of their dog the same as they would their own!!”
“Keysha did an amazing job watching my cat, Chocolate Chip, for daycare. She was attentive and caring. Chocolate Chip came home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend her services!”
About: we have taken care of pets since childhood :) we have lots of experience with pets from A-to-Z and we provide photo and videos, along with additional detailed text updates. We treat others as family, we love to spoil others, and we also provide training if needed with positive reinforcement. We also not only provide pet sitting but plant sitting as well, we are huge into gardening and we can give lots of care information and advice on any plant that you have/want. We’re always here and are happy to help, we always respond fast especially when you need us, and we love to serve others because we love making people happy <3 We both have full time availability, so we are able to provide every single service available including leash training, pet training, plant sitting, housekeeping, etc. Our dream is to be able to care for every single pet that is in need even the ones that don’t have any homes, and to be able to hang out with pups and kitties all day long and give them all of the love that they deserve :) We care for pets in our home and both our client’s home by always putting their needs first, we always stick to routines (if they have one), and we even like to take them to doggy parks, buy them toys, buy them treats, teach them new tricks, or even play with them/go on longer walks as well :)
About: Family and friends have relied on the caring for their doggies while away without the stress. I send daily photos of the fun we are having and the loves they are receiving. I am currently working full time from home. I have plenty of time to take them out to potty and run around in my fenced yard. I have a fenced yard so they can potty often and get exercise. We often go for walks when I'm off work so they can explore and exercise even more.
About: Hi, I’m Amanda! I have several years of professional experience working with dogs in boarding and daycare environments, with a strong focus on behavior, safety, and low-stress handling. I’m comfortable caring for senior dogs, administering medications, following special routines, and working with dogs that benefit from a calmer environment. My background has taught me the importance of understanding each dog’s individual needs and adjusting care accordingly. I also carry pet care insurance in addition to Rover’s protections and believe in clear, honest communication so owners can feel confident while they’re away. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I work from home, which allows me to spend the majority of my day with the dogs in my care rather than being away at a traditional 9-to-5 job. My schedule is built around feeding routines, walks, enrichment, potty breaks, cleaning, and individual attention. While I occasionally leave for errands or appointments, dogs are not routinely left alone for a full workday. I provide care in a calm, structured home environment designed to help dogs feel safe and comfortable while away from home. Dogs are supervised, managed thoughtfully, and given appropriate opportunities for activity and rest throughout the day. I prioritize low-stress handling, safe management practices, and predictable routines that help dogs settle in successfully. Each dog’s care is adjusted based on their age, temperament, energy level, and individual needs.
About: Our dogs have always been family and I can't recall any time in my entire life when I haven't had a dog at my side, sometimes two or three. I've had dogs of all sizes and energy levels. The longest boarding was for two months while the pup parent traveled in Asia. I've had dogs on my small ranch in NV and we rode trails together. They moved with me to CO and we enjoyed the mountains and front range together. I drove cross-country many times with my dogs, stayed in hotels and visited friends and family with them. My dogs are always a priority in all we do and I will care for your pups as I do mine. Be assured that I will follow any special instructions you give to provide your pet a safe, happy, stress-free stay. I recently rescued a deaf puppy who was in the middle of the road, and took care of her until a new, loving home was secured. I checked on her later and she is happy with her people and dog family. I am retired and always home. I spend my days gardening, cooking, squirrel and bird-watching, helping at church, and making greeting cards. My two dogs are with me the entire day. We will give your pup lots of company and love. I prefer to sit for one client at a time and max two dogs at a time. I look forward to meeting you and your pups. It's a good day any day that you meet new friends with fur. They bring joy to life. I have a 1/2 acre and a huge fenced yard for play and romping. Your dog will not be put outside for any length of time without my oversight. I am frequently out in the yard, relaxing, weeding, planting and pruning. Safety is number one and focused, pleasant care are my priorities. I want to be sure that the pups have my undivided attention. My two small dogs and I will give your pup lots of company assuring that he or she is acclimated and gets to know us. Our home is comfortable and happy. Does your pup enjoy endless belly rubs? Mine do and I have plenty to share. I prefer to sit for one client and max two dogs at a time. Photos of your pup's day are provided, if requested. I feed my dogs twice a day and give them one treat after their meals. I will feed your dogs at the time of day you prefer. We will only give your pup treats that you provide. I will follow your feeding schedule and administer meds if needed. My early career was 20 years as a hospital clinical laboratory scientist and then as a director. I've medicated my dogs and horses and given shots, so I know all the techniques needed to administer meds for your dog. Be assured, I recognize a dog's body language if in pain, stressed, or sick and will notify you immediately of any serious issues. I will follow your instructions if vet services are needed. My senior dog, Vivvie requires a special diet, so I make homemade dog food, veterinarian approved. No table scraps for her or for dogs in my care.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to walk my high energy pup. Great communication, flexibility in availability, competent and skilled in the management of my pup which gives me such comfort in knowing that my pup is being cared for at the highest possible level by such a pleasant, friendly and warm hearted person such as Alexis and my pup absolutely looks forward to his time with her.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was around 9 years old, starting with my own pets and helping out with the pets of friends and family. While I haven’t done it professionally until now, I’ve always been the go-to person when someone needed a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their furry friend. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and love giving them the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or in-home visits, I treat every pet like my own, with patience, playfulness, and lots of love! Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I recently graduated, so I currently have a very open and flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, consistency, and care throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for! When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, happy, and relaxed in their familiar space. During visits, I make sure they get plenty of attention, whether that means playtime, cuddles, a walk, or just some calm companionship. I always follow the pet parent’s instructions closely, from feeding routines to favorite toys and potty breaks. I know how important it is to maintain your pet’s usual routine, so I do everything I can to make each visit feel safe, fun, and stress-free for both you and your furry friend!
“Lucy has been walking our dog for a week & we LOVE her! Gator is super particular about strangers and she was patient & kind to him at the meet & greet. They are literally besties now. She takes great pictures & gives updates on his walks. They always look like that have so much fun! We are super happy with her!!”
About: I am reliable and make sure to take care of any individual pet. I love hanging out with dogs, making sure they’re active, happy, and cared for. I have experience in watching dogs over night in their homes, as well check on dogs if their owner are away on vacation. Dogs can get lonely when their owners are away working or traveling, which is why I love to dogsit when needed! I am a full-time college, so weekends including Friday afternoons are my best times. If I have free time when not busy with academics, I can dog sit in the afternoon/evenings. I make sure dogs have food and water! I live in a house with a big yard that is front and back, very spacious for dogs to run around and sniff around!
“Ansley, is such a caring and attentive person. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and is genuinely concerned about your dog's well being. I especially appreciate Ansley taking time to play with my little "Diva" fur baby after their walks.”
“My fur babies sure do love Rebekah. She's always so good with them. Always on time but if she'll be late she always let's me know. That almost never happens but it's great that she notifies me.”

About: Hi!! I’m Sarah Pingel and I love animals!! I have a Siberian Husky/ Alaskan Malamute mix named Benny, he’s 6 years old and I love him with all my heart!! I also trained him myself and he can do many things, including knowing his lefts from his rights! I have volunteered at animal shelters for 10+ years, cared for many dogs and cats of all ages, helped train a few of the dogs I watched, and can administer medication. I also have a grooming certificate. Caring for animals is such a passion of mine and I can’t wait to take care of your furry family member!

“Tatum did such a fantastic job with Wrigley! She was on time, professional, very communicative and captured so many great pictures. Would hands down recommend for any drop in or walking needs!”
About: It’s your new “Step Dog Mom” I believe every pet deserves Dog-Mom level care—the kind where they’re treated like family, not just a client. With years of experience caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities, I pride myself on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment where your dog can truly relax. I’m extremely patient and gentle, whether I’m bonding with an anxious rescue, entertaining an energetic puppy, or tending to the needs of a sweet senior. I pay close attention to every detail, from their feeding schedule to their favorite belly rub spot, and I’m skilled at reading body language to ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home. I provide regular updates, cute photos, and even fun paw report cards so you always know how your fur-baby is doing. Life can be unpredictable, and I do my best to be flexible and understanding when schedules shift. Most of all, I love building connections with each pet I care for—because to me, they’re not “just pets,” they’re family. 🐾 Im available Thursday to Sunday. On Thursday and Friday only I’m available after 5:30pm (due to me having a full time job from home). Saturday and Sunday I’m available all day 🙂 For any Drop-In visits or Walks I do require a complementary meet and greet before booking to ensure your pet is comfortable with me and their “home space” ❤️ Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first in your home. I take time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs before each visit. I follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as given, and always make sure your pet has fresh water and a clean, calm environment. I respect your space—leaving your home just as I found it—and keep doors locked, alarms set, and your pet safely indoors or secured outside as requested. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive to body language, especially with shy or anxious pets. You’ll receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Hello, My name is Jessie! I am a professional dog trainer and animal lover. My affinity towards animals began in my childhood, where I grew up in the countryside and often brought home stray or abandoned dogs and cats. I was lucky to have a mother who supported me and my mission to care for the animals I would find even though she was a single mom taking care of 3 kids. Currently, I have two dogs and a cat. One of our favorite activities is embarking on adventures together, such as engaging in hikes and exploring new places. My two dogs are Yoshi, a 7 yr old jack russell mix, and Kamaji a 3 year golden retriever. Yoshi is dog selective and prefers dogs that respect his space. It may take him a bit of time to become comfortable around other dogs, which is where my golden boy, Kamaji, happily steps in. Kamaji is quite affectionate and would be delighted to form friendships with other dogs, only if they desire it. Ensuring everyone in my care is safe and comfortable is my top priority. In addition to our shared activities, we actively participate in various dog sports, including Barn Hunt, Dock Diving, Rally and Nosework. I have 12 years of experience in the pet care industry, including 5 years as a professional dog trainer. I am an AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator and Trick Dog Evaluator. As a trainer, I assist owners in improving their relationship with their dog(s) by making training fun for everyone involved. I provide educational guidance on canine learning and behavior, enabling my clients to develop a sense of assurance and preparedness for any challenges they may encounter. You deserve to enjoy your dog. My objective is to offer top-quality care for your beloved pets. The prices mentioned above serve as a starting point and may be subject to adjustment based on your specific requirements. For instance, if your dog is highly energetic and requires ample exercise, the price will be modified accordingly in order to cater to those needs. *please note that my prices include fee to utilize rover* I am a professional trainer and the owner of my own business, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule. My schedule revolves around the well-being and care of animals. While your dogs are in my care, I will treat them with the utmost care and consideration, as if they were my own. In the mornings, I prioritize providing breakfast, exercise, and affection for the dogs. The specifics of my work schedule vary depending on my number of clients for the day. Typically, I am away for a maximum of 2-4 hours at a time, ensuring that the dogs in my care have sufficient time between potty breaks. To ensure the safety of all dogs under my responsibility, they are either crated or placed in a playpen when I am away. If your dog enjoys car rides, they may accompany me during my visits to other clients or if I were to engage in hiking activities. Many of my clients have spacious land or large backyards, which I am able to utilize for the benefit of my own dogs and the dogs in my care. However, it is important to note that for safety reasons, I do not permit client dogs to be off-leash in unfenced areas. I prioritize the safety, trust, and well-being of your pets in every aspect of my pet care services. Whether it's in my house, your home or during walks, I take meticulous steps to ensure a secure and positive environment for your furry companions. During your pet's stay in my home, I prioritize safety by implementing various safety measures both inside and outside of my home. I have installed baby gates to prevent access to areas where they may pose a danger to themselves, and I have a fenced yard to ensure they are securely contained. Additionally, I always provide constant supervision when they are not in their crate or playpen. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet's routine, so I make an effort to replicate it as closely as possible in order to ensure a smooth transition. Each dog is unique, and I tailor my boarding services to meet their individual needs. Whether they enjoy daily walks, playtime, or simply lounging around, I provide personalized care that caters to their specific requirements. This personalized approach helps create a positive and stress-free environment, making it feel like their home away from home. I recognize that leaving your beloved dog in someone else's care can be anxiety-inducing. Therefore, throughout their boarding stay, walks, or house sitting, I aim to provide you with regular updates.

About: I have had animals since I was a little baby. I love animals and believe they should be treated with love and care. I will provide the right care your animal is needed, just like if it was my own pet. I work full time Monday-Thursday from 8-3pm. I have plenty of time to take care of animals and I will do everything in my power to make sure your animal is well taken care of. I have a safe environment in my home. I live in a safe household and enough space for your animals to roam and play as they would need. I also have security cameras as well to provide extra protection.
About: With over two years of professional animal care experience, I am available to run and walk with them, as well as play with them of course, or just check in on them throughout the day. I do not work and spend my day walking/exercising and taking care of my baby. This allows me to help fit into whatever their normal routine is easily! I am a stay at home mom and have plenty of time to provide attention, give walks and cuddle with your baby:) I can fit into whatever routine or schedule they need!
About: Hi, I’m a 24 year-old college student and passionate pet sitter with over 6 years of experience caring for pets🐾 I believe every pet deserves quality, loving care, regardless of their owner’s budget.That’s why I strive to provide affordable pet care without sacrificing the experience, attention, or love your pet receives. I’m proud to have 5 star reviews from my clients, which I believe comes from my commitment to clear communication, reliability, and giving every pet my undivided attention while they’re in my care. I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. ❤️ Whether your pet needs a quick drop in, a long walk, or someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to care for them! I am currently a part-time college student, so I have plenty of time to take care of pets! I am busy throughout the week so I will only be doing pet-sitting during the weekends when I am off. So if you need a weekend get away then I am person for you!! I don’t believe in fitting an animal into a busy schedule, I would ensure they would be my main priority. I will take care of your pet based on the instructions that are given. I know I would want my pet-sitter to take care of my babies a certain way, so make sure to follow every owners specific rules so I can take care of their fur baby to the best of my ability.

“A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Andrea & family were incredible. First time leaving my fur baby with someone other than family. Certainly I was a bit nervous. I chose Andrea based on her reviews and genuine smile on the profile. She lived up to expectation and the reviews. Daily photo and updates were provided without request. She even bathe my boy, sent him home so fresh and so clean. I am certain I will be booking in the future, Thank you again for your warmth and care for Pooh! :-)”
“Kara was wonderful! This was our first time using Rover and I’m so glad we found Kara. Our dog had such a fun time with her dogs and family. She sent us photos of Saint during his stay. She was so responsive from the beginning all the way through. You can tell she loved on our Saint like she loves on her own family.”
“Our experience with Kayla was wonderful. Teddy was well loved and cared for. He was happy and playful. Kayla sent updates and photos daily. I would highly recommend her services and looking forward to booking with her again in the future.”
“Sandra and Mark were absolutely wonderful! I couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters. They were incredibly friendly, caring, and clearly love spending time with dogs. My dog had such a great time with them — they played with him a lot and kept him entertained the whole time. Sandra was also amazing about sending regular updates, letting me know how he was doing, what activities he was up to, and how he was feeling. Those updates really gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious that they treated my dog like their own and made sure he felt comfortable and happy. I’m so grateful for the care and attention they gave him. I would absolutely recommend Sandra and Mark to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely kind dog sitters. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!”
“Matt did a fantastic job with our pets. Not only did he send daily pictures, he provided detailed description of their behavior. His experience as a dog trainer gave new insight and he even provided tips on how I can work with them on my own. His property is amazing and has plenty of space for the dogs to run, conveniently located in North Columbus. Highly recommend and will book again!”
“I was able to book with Casey last minute and she took great care of my Sweetie. When my cousin picked my dog up she said my dog was walking around like she was home and comfortable. I would definitely rebook and you should too.”
About: Taken care of all animals different pieces and sizes! I live to go on runs so if your doggo needs some energy expenditure I can make that happen run usually span from 2 miles up to 13miles! My doggies run every other day and go to the dog park every day in between! Very quiet household! So if you need your doggies tired just let me know! Live in a large apartment so there is plenty of space for them to play but pets are taken out for runs and dog park pretty much every day.
“Christina was a fantastic sitter for our large dog. We were confident our dog had a fun staycation with plenty of playtime, pets, and attention while in Christina’s care. She sent us updates and cute pictures of our dog having a great time. Book with Christina. We definitely will be again! Thank you”
“Alona is absolutely amazing!! Very attentive and detailed. She communicates well with updates and she really put my mind at ease when I needed a dog sitter in a clutch. My 🐕 was so happy when I picked him up that he didn’t want to leave 😃 I will definitely call her to dog sit again. Thanks Alona!!!”
“Heather is amazing! Super welcoming and friendly. She was really prompt responding before and during the sitting. We got pictures without having to ask and our pup was obviously well taken care of. She’s highly qualified, would definitely use her services anytime and highly recommend!”
“Tugba was wonderful. This was the first time using her and things worked out really well. I really like that she wanted to meet before the boarding date to get to know our dog. I would highly recommend her and plan on using her for future boarding.”
“Donald was great with taking care of of our fur baby. He updated us everyday and sent lots of pictures. We are so happy we made the right decision with selecting Donald to care for our baby!”
“Lexie was really good with our fur baby who tends to get anxious. She picked him up with ease making him comfortable right away. She sent us pics and kept us posted throughout my dog’s stay which put us at ease during our vacation. Great communication and she was very flexible with time. I highly recommend Lexie!”
“All I can say is wow. Madison went above and beyond to make our baby Greyson comfortable, even given our sweet little boy a bath after playing in the mud with her sweet Shepherds. Was excited to see me when I picked him up, but he seemed that he was torn and wanted to stay with Madison as well. Definitely will rebook.”
“Mary Grace was a godsend to our family. Our beloved and notoriously mischievous 11 year old /70lb shepherd mix is prone to stress and can’t be comfortably boarded in a facility. He is also getting older, so he struggles with separation anxiety and requires frequent walks and intellectual stimulation. Mary Grace was a perfect fit. She is extremely competent and conscientious. She met both Ranger’s needs as a full time companion (walks, feeding, engaging) and my needs as a concerned parent (pictures, updates, etc). It’s the first time we’ve traveled in years that I was not constantly worried about Ranger. I would not hesitate to book with her again or to recommend her to others. She is amazing and I’m so grateful for how well she cared for our boy.”
“Nikki + Ben were absolutely amazing with our pups! They were so caring and attentive and kept me up to date on how they were doing while I was out of town. I would recommend this sweet couple to anyone!”
