“This was my frost time using Rover and I was really nervous leaving my puppy. Donna was the best she took great care off out baby, she even sent us pictures during his stay. I highly recommend Donna if you want the best for your fur baby ?”
“Great experience overall. They were very accommodating to my schedule, which I really appreciated. Responded to my messages quickly and they made the whole process convenient and stress-free. Highly recommend!”
“Tim has stayed with Caylei multiple times now, and he absolutely loves it. He cries when I make him leave. Caylei is the first sitter he's had who can adequately care for him, as he has special needs, but she manages those so well and she treats him with such kindness. We love Caylei and are so thankful to have found her!”
“our second time: i just love how they treat him like their family dog. just how we do it at our home. he’s always so much more well behaved then when we left him. thanks diana and family. love yall dog sitting for us.”
“Nicole and everyone did such a great job taking care of my dog and kitten! The kitten I literally found a week before I had to leave on my trip and she didn't mind taking him in too. I know my dog can be lots of work. She shared pictures every day which I absolutely love. I'll definitely be using her again! She also runs a daycare, so I'm glad my dog had plenty of friends to play with. Thanks again!”
“This was our first time boarding with Sean, but he was amazing! Our fur babies were treated like they were his own, and we got daily pictures to see how they were doing. This was great as our pups usually travel with us. I would most certainly reach out to him the next time we need to board again! Thank you for everything!”
“Xiomy took amazing care of my dog. She kept me updated every day with the sweetest photos, and I always felt at ease knowing my pup was happy and loved. Her dog Elma is incredibly gentle and became the perfect playmate — they bonded right away. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I truly recommend her!”
“I was very nervous to leave Tula as I had only been with her for three days. She was experiencing separation anxiety after having her brother removed from the home they were in for 11 months. I did not want to leave her anywhere but I had no choice because of prior plans and she just popped into my life out of the blue 3 days before. Kristi was amazing! She allowed me to bring Tula for a visit beforehand so I would be comfortable and see that Tula was comfortable. She updated me daily and even ran to get more food when Tula ran out. Tula played with her other dogs and ran around in the fenced in area. Tula loved Kristi and stayed with no whining when I left her for my trip. This will be Tula’s second home from now on!”
“Becky was so kind to my sweet baby girl. Dora is an only kitty and took some time to adapt, but Becky was patient and loved on my kitty. Thank you for taking care of her.”
“What a wonderful person to trust with my pets while traveling. Xionella is a very gentle and caring pet sitter. Both of my small dogs stayed with her for almost a week and were relaxed and happy on pickup day. She sent frequent updates and some of the most cute pictures I have ever seen of my pups. I recommend booking with Xionella and I know I will for my next trip.”
“Patty was the absolute best with our new puppy when our other sitter fell through. She was patient loving and kind and even had to take her to the vet while we were out of town. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Went from worrying if my dog was going to miss me when I’m gone to does my dog like her sitter more than me! Genevieve loves hanging with Adam and it’s evident she’s well cared and loved when she is with him!”
“Piper had the most fun with Annette and Bodhi! I felt very comfortable leaving Piper with Annette and she was taken great care of! Piper was tuckered out when she came home and took a nap!”
“Mikaela was amazing! Flexible with our changing schedule. She sent us updates and photos multiple times throughout the day which made us feel more comfortable about leaving our fur baby behind. The kennels were spotless and the run area was large and well kept. We would definitely use her again.”
“Russel is amazing! Bacon stayed with Russel for 4 days vs and one of those days we picked him up for a quick doggy play date. When we returned Bacon was ecstatic to see Russel again! Russel even had him dressed in the Jammie’s we brought for him on a cold morning. Russel went above & beyond & that was very clear. Russel is quick to respond & sends lots of pictures!”
About: I’m a fun loving dog sitter. I love playing with dogs, walking with them, and giving them tummy rubs. Being lazy is another quality I’m good at when me and the dog(s) don’t have anything better to do. I really do love animals. Their like fluffy teddy bears. Dogs deserve all the love and attention in the world. Weather they act crazy or not If the dog misbehaved then I would lightly pop it on the nose and say no but if the dog was nice then I’d give it tummy rubs

About: I grew up in agriculture caring for all sorts of animals. From raising my own show hogs to rasing 20+ rabbits, to my own dogs, and working in Veterinary hospitals, commercial swine and poultry industries, I have seen it all! I have a two German Shorthaired Pointers, one that is 3 years old and another that is 2 years old. My husband and I upland hunt with them all over the state of Georgia and beyond. I also have a 16 year old Beagle/Min Pin mix who is my heart and soul and is a couch potato. We recently had our other dog who was a Red Heeler/Australian Shepherd who sadly passed away from cancer. I am capable of caring for pets of all ages and energy levels!! I do have a full time job in the Poultry Industry in Gainesville so I will be gone during 6am-2:30pm. Most families I pet sit for have no issues with that, but others require someone to be there all day. If you have any scheduling questions, please feel free to reach out to me. From my experience from working at a local animal hospital in Gainesville, GA along with working in the Poultry and Swine industries, I have ample amounts of training in animal welfare. Whether you have a household pet or farm animals, I am confident that I am capable for caring for any kind of pet! With my 3 dogs that very from young to old, lazy to high drive and energetic, I create a safe environment in my home so my dogs are safe and free of unnecessary harm. With our hunting dogs, my husband and I train them year round and exercise them at our family farm to give them the mental stimulation they need so they don't ruin our house! During bad weather, I usually prepare lick mats, raw-hide free bones, or some kind of enrichment treat.
About: I had pets as a child. As an adult we became a dog family 10 years ago. He’s stubborn and way smarter than I am. I’ve learned so much loving on our Smitty. I’m patient and love to see their personalities shine. I work from home so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I would be happy to discuss your personal needs and work that into my day. I walk my dogs on leash on our property. For you I’d do what your pet is accustomed to. I’m very flexible and able to work with what works for you best.

“Jesse did a great job first time with Tag, who is an anxious dog. Jesse is professional and friendly. He is very reassuring and took good care of Tag. we will definitely have Jesse take care of Tag again!”
“Tyler did a wonderful job caring for our kitties. I had set up an automatic feeder to give the cats dry food (Tyler was giving them wet food at his visits) and the cats toppled it and knocked it over. The next day, they clawed into the sealed bag of food I’d left out. Both times, Tyler graciously cleaned it up and helped me devise a way to keep the cats from doing it again. He checked in daily and sent occasional photos and videos, which my kids loved. I will definitely use him again!”
“Alexis was awesome! One of my pups is a diabetic and it was a huge relief to find someone with the knowledge and ability to care for him and give him his shot of insulin. Highly recommend Alexis!”
“This was the first time ever using a pet sitting service of any kind and I am so glad we found Savanna. Since we were so new to this, I was incredibly nervous. All of those worries were eased upon our meet and greet with Savanna. She was very responsive in the time leading up to the sitting job and very communicative during the week we were gone. We got regular updates along with pictures of our kitties that reassured us our boys were always in good hands. Her responsible, consistent, and warm demeanor is very appreciated and we will certainly use Savanna’s services in the future.”
About: I fostered a cat in college. After he went to his forever home, there was a Smudge-sized hole in my heart (Smudge was my foster cat). So what did I do? I went out and got two kittens! Ivy and Poppy are my prides and joy.
About: Cats have always been my favorite animal. I have to kitty’s of my own. I know everything that cats can have and can’t have. I’ve worked in a nursing home and it made me realize cats are a lot like older people, delicate and stubborn. I have years of experience with cats so I can provide just what they need. From playing, feeding, giving medications, cleaning, and maybe even going on walks.
“Mallory was very friendly, and my cats loved her. She took great care of our house while we were gone and brought in packages that arrived. She sent photos and videos of the kitties, and she was easy to communicate with. I will definitely ask her to petsit again.”
“Kristi was great! She communicated with me, sent pictures and seem to positively relate to our babies. We have old cats and one requires medication twice a day. Some sitters we have had were not always able to give her the medication. Betsy let her do it without too much trouble.”
“Amelia did a wonderful job of checking in on our cats, keeping them fed, entertained, and loved on as well as managing three littterboxes. She stayed in touch each day and sent pictures, and was overall kind and easy to trust in our home. We'll definitely call her again next time we need someone to keep an eye on them!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 5 years now, from dogs to frogs! Some of my own and some from others I give each animal the love and care that they deserve. I love being outdoors in any climate whether that be hiking, jogging, or simply sitting in a field. I’d be more than happy to burn some energy with your fur baby! I work part time during the night which leaves lots of free time during the mornings to walk, feed, and check in on your pets. I occasionally have classes during the week, so I’ll already be up bright and early! I will provide your pets with loving attention, frequent walks and bathroom breaks, even playtime. I am sure to create a safe environment for your fur babies, if that means a mini play date or introduction session before sitting I am down for it all. I will stay loyal to the given instructions with proper feeding times and administer medication if/when needed.

“Chayna was amazing!! I cannot rave enough about her communication, flexibility with my requests and scheduling, and care of my two pups. She went above and beyond to help me feel at ease with leaving my dogs with someone knew. I loved getting updates and photos and knowing my dogs were safe and cared for while I was gone. They were happy, tired babies when I got them home again. Highly recommend!!”
“Joanna & Sebastian were absolutely wonderful! They were very quick to respond to our last minute request and were super patient with our nervous dog. They sent us updates and photos so I felt very comfortable! I would definitely book with them again in the future!”

I provide a safe, clean, and loving home environment for pets, with regular feeding, playtime, social interaction, and cozy spaces for rest and ultimate comfort.

About: Registered Veterinary Technician who works emergency medicine on the weekends looking for extra work through the week. I can’t stay at your house overnight, but your pet can come to mine. I can also do drop ins pretty regularly. I graduated college with a degree in Veterinary technology and passed my state boards. I work at an emergency clinic in Atlanta on the weekends and right now I’m free through the week. I can try my best to work out whatever you need help with. I’m skilled at giving medications and anything basic your pet may need in home, as well as lifesaving care due to any emergency. I can keep non child friendly cats in a different area, but dogs must be child friendly. I do have cats & ferrets, but they can be kept separately if your animals are not cat & small rodent friendly. I have 2 dogs as well. All of my animals are pet friendly with everything as many animals have come through my care fostering. I'm skilled in exotic pet care as well if necessary. I currently only work weekend overnights in the ER. So, I am home all week caring for my fur babies. As well as yours hopefully! I strive to care for anyone's else's pets exactly as I would my own. When they are with me, they are my babies too. I bring my ER compassion with me when I pet sit, in the ER the pets are without their owners & they are scared on top of being hurt. While my pet sits may not be hurt, I'm aware they could be nervous & unfamiliar. I try to treat them with the upmost compassion & kindness.

“Annette was so great with my dog Nova! Her fenced in yard was perfect for playing and sniffing, two of my dog’s favorite activities! Nova had such a fun filled day and even took a trip to the dog park nearby with Annette and her dog!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of real care and attention I give every pet. I treat them like family, not just a job. I’m patient, observant, and experienced with different personalities, including energetic puppies and calm senior pets. I can help reinforce basic puppy training like routines, potty habits, and behavior, while also providing gentle, attentive care for older pets who need extra comfort, medication reminders, or slower-paced attention. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I prioritize consistency, reliability, and attention. I plan my days around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the time and care they need. I’m organized and flexible, so whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or multiple visits throughout the day, I make sure pets are never rushed or overlooked. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I give each visit my full focus and make it a regular, dependable part of my week. I provide care based on each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. In my home, I create a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and scheduled feeding. I monitor behavior closely to make sure pets are adjusting well and getting the care they need. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets in their familiar space and sticking to their usual routine, including feeding, walks, litter or potty care, playtime, and any specific instructions like medication or special needs. I respect your home, keep everything clean, and provide updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Xionella did a great job caring for our 2 dogs during the day while my wife was out of town. Our dogs were walked multiple times a day and got along perfectly with Xionella’s 2 dogs. We were sent pictures throughout the day and notified of anything of concern. I would highly recommend Xionella and will use her in the future.”

I am also available for drop-ins and walks at any time! I am happy to do whatever you need to ensure that your pet is well cared for and entertained! I take my own dogs on walks every week!
“Marlina was fantastic, was super sweet and accommodating for our shy puppy, especially with our dog’s needs for pee pads. She was very gentle and considerate in introducing her dogs to Luna one at a time so everyone could get acquainted smoothly and successfully! We loved the pictures taken throughout the day! Luna had a wonderful time during her play date with Marlina and her dogs!”

I’d love to care for your dogs and will treat them like they’re my own. Caring for your pets is my full time job, so I am able to dedicate all of my attention towards your pets. I spend most of my free time training my dogs as well as working with client dogs. I have several safety protocols in place such as using high quality leashes while on walks, and not allowing interaction between my pets and yours. I love sending updates to owners frequently! My experience in dog training and behavior can help notice subtle changes in mood or health for the special needs pups.
“Angela and her husband were absolutely amazing to my mini goldenoodle! I need somewhere or our dog to stay while painters painted inside our home. Angela is a gem! She was so easy to talk with and kept in touch with updates and photo. She went out of her way to make Millie feel comfortable and it worked. I think Millie would have moved in with her if I needed her to! I won’t hesitate to contact her again. She’s a superb choice for any person to wants/needs o leave their pet in a loving and caring home. Couldn’t think of anything she could do better❣️”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs independently since 2018. I grew up in a dog loving household and have hands on experience with daily feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and maintaining routines.

With my own pup, I maintain a detailed and structured daily routine, and I bring that same level of care, consistency, and attention to every dog I care for.
About: As a lifelong dog lover and current online college student, I offer a highly flexible, work-from-home schedule that ensures your pet will have constant supervision, regular bathroom breaks, and company throughout the day. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to your pet's specific stage of life; I am fully equipped to handle the high-energy demands, potty training, and crate routines of young puppies, but I'm equally patient and observant when it comes to the quiet environments and precise medication schedules required by senior dogs. Ultimately, I focus on routine consistency, molding my daily schedule entirely around your dog’s normal habits to keep their anxiety low and make them feel right at home. I work from home and stay around town, so caring for your fur-babies is no trouble at all! If they do well with car rides, I am more than happy to bring them along to run any errands or to the ball fields! I have a large yard, plenty of room inside, two sweet and playful dogs to keep them company, and a 6 year old boy who loves puppy cuddles and all the play time he can get!

About: Hello! I am a dog mom to 4 pups, as well as horses, cows, and goats. I love all animals and will treat them like my own! I have background in veterinary medicine as well. Top tier care is my main priority! I work for a school system, so most days, I am open to check on your pet whenever and however often they may need it! Quality care is my main priority, I have special furbabies of my own, so I try to treat every pet like I would want someone to care for mine. 🤍
About: For as long as I remember, animals have been the only constant defining piece of the puzzle that is my life. I have personally raised dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, birds, hamsters, goats and a lamb! Training, raising and saving animals gives me hope and a purpose. My experience goes all the way back to my first dog at the age of 9, who passed at the old age of 16.5years old in 2025. I have ridden and worked with horses for many years, as well as started my dog training journey in my later teens, turning it into my profession ever since. My goal is to provide top quality care to pet owners, as I understand the trust it takes to leave your pets behind and do not take that responsibility lightly. I know how I want my animals treated should I ever have to leave them, so I strive to give that same (picky) care to other owners. I have boarded & trained dogs for over 4 years and plan to open a boarding facility for both canines & equines in the future. I am a stay at home mom so I will usually be home more than 90% of the time to spend with your pet. With two dogs of my own and one cat. Both dogs are crate trained, house trained, and one of them has his Canine Good Citizen Cert. the other is a young female working on her mannerisms but very friendly. We have four beautiful acres for lots of play and exercise. Most of the acreage is fenced, and our house is gated off. I am able to crate dogs if necessary, but am home most of the time so crating usually only at night time if applicable. They will be able to take as many potty breaks needed, get lots of play time, of course attention, and have access to water all day long (unless otherwise specified). Note* If they are not good with cats, that is not a problem as mine stays separated from any dogs beside my own.

I stick to your pet's routine, whether it’s feeding, walking, or playtime, to keep them comfortable. I also make sure to provide plenty of love and attention, ensuring they feel secure. I maintain a clean environment and follow any instructions you have to make sure your pets are happy and healthy while you're away!
About: I am a pet lover at heart! I have owned/fostered 13 dogs and 4 cats in my lifetime so far. I currently own 1 dog named Diesel who regularly attends doggy daycare in Athens. I work hands on with dogs and cats every day and have 3 years of experience in feeding, medicating, and hands on dog-to-dog socializing. I have a huge heart to foster pets and have done so with ages from Puppies to 10 years of age. I have fostered non-hearing and non-seeing pets as well as plenty of experience administering medication to dogs who are diabetic and require insulin. I work a full time job, but when planned in advance I can request off or specific hours if needed. Would need a notice of 2 weeks or more. I am more than happy to host in your home and can either bring Diesel my 70lb dog, or can arrange him to be at my home with my boyfriend as well. Either is completely fine for me! If you are seeking for me to host in my home: I reside in a 24 foot camper as my current tiny home, so most cases I cannot hold other pets with me unless special cases occur where size, needs, temperament, and such are approved to successfully accommodate them. I would prefer to meet them prior and have a relationship with your pups to be sure it would be a good fit for both parties.
About: Hi, I'm Stephanie and I have two pups of my own. I enjoy sending updates along with pictures whether it's an overnight stay, a quick drop-in, or a walk, I'll keep you posted! My two pups (Rusty and Bindi) are friendly and comfortable around other pets, and if for whatever reason they don't get along with your pet, I have ways to keep them safely separated. I have worked with and around animals my entire life, and have never been more happy than when spending time with furry friends! I have experience working in a boarding kennel and am comfortable handling all kinds of breeds and sizes. Let me ease your mind while you're hard at work or relaxing on vacation. I will always be respectful of your home and your furry family member! I am always around to ensure your pet is receiving the attention, affection, and care they deserve. My schedule is very flexible, so if you need 1 or 3 visits a day, I'm your gal! I am adamant about safety, above all. If I am providing services in your home, I strive to protect your privacy and respect your home and space.

About: I have raised kittens and puppies to adults. Pets make me feel happy and complete. I enjoy spending time with them either playing or walking. I want them to feel loved and secure. I have loved various dogs on my own. 2 of my dogs have been given K-9 off leash training. I understand how to be firm and alert when walking in public. I have worked at my friend's Boarding and Training business, The Training Spot on Nashville TN. I have been in charge of 25+ dogs to feed, play, and provide medication. There are always a variety of breeds and I have learned how to work with them all. I don't mind staying overnight. My fur babies will not be left alone as my husband will be home with them. I have purchased my own Pet Insurance which goes above for coverage than Rover. I have a very flexible schedule to be able to provide excellent service and attention to your fur babies. I am very good with time management and communication. I ask specific questions so that the fur babies keep their routine and stress free while I take care of them while the parents are away.
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old! Growing up I have owned 3 dogs and 6 cats for most of my life. I also was a trainer for the guide dog foundation while I was in college so I have extensive training in dog training.

I also have 2 loving dogs at home that love to play and meet new friends.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 5 years now, from dogs to frogs! Some of my own and some from others I give each animal the love and care that they deserve. I love being outdoors in any climate whether that be hiking, jogging, or simply sitting in a field. I’d be more than happy to burn some energy with your fur baby! I work part time during the night which leaves lots of free time during the mornings to walk, feed, and check in on your pets. I occasionally have classes during the week, so I’ll already be up bright and early! I will provide your pets with loving attention, frequent walks and bathroom breaks, even playtime. I am sure to create a safe environment for your fur babies, if that means a mini play date or introduction session before sitting I am down for it all. I will stay loyal to the given instructions with proper feeding times and administer medication if/when needed.
About: I have been around animals my whole life and I love them! I have a 4 year old kitty named Bunny and she is everything to me. My best friend has a mini Australian shepherd that is very friendly and I love being around him. I also have watched my brother and sister in law’s dogs for 2 years now. They ranged from having 4-8 dogs at different points and I would love to go stay with them, feed them, and get to play with their fluffy selves! I am working limited hours at this time, so I am available weekdays 8 a.m.- 2 p.m. and 5:45 p.m.- 9 p.m., and also weekends any time! I will monitor the animals needs and be there in any way I am needed. I will take them outside as much as directed, feed them, make sure they have water, and love on them!

“Tim has stayed with Caylei multiple times now, and he absolutely loves it. He cries when I make him leave. Caylei is the first sitter he's had who can adequately care for him, as he has special needs, but she manages those so well and she treats him with such kindness. We love Caylei and are so thankful to have found her!”
“our second time: i just love how they treat him like their family dog. just how we do it at our home. he’s always so much more well behaved then when we left him. thanks diana and family. love yall dog sitting for us.”
“Nicole and everyone did such a great job taking care of my dog and kitten! The kitten I literally found a week before I had to leave on my trip and she didn't mind taking him in too. I know my dog can be lots of work. She shared pictures every day which I absolutely love. I'll definitely be using her again! She also runs a daycare, so I'm glad my dog had plenty of friends to play with. Thanks again!”
“This was our first time boarding with Sean, but he was amazing! Our fur babies were treated like they were his own, and we got daily pictures to see how they were doing. This was great as our pups usually travel with us. I would most certainly reach out to him the next time we need to board again! Thank you for everything!”
“Xiomy took amazing care of my dog. She kept me updated every day with the sweetest photos, and I always felt at ease knowing my pup was happy and loved. Her dog Elma is incredibly gentle and became the perfect playmate — they bonded right away. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I truly recommend her!”
“I was very nervous to leave Tula as I had only been with her for three days. She was experiencing separation anxiety after having her brother removed from the home they were in for 11 months. I did not want to leave her anywhere but I had no choice because of prior plans and she just popped into my life out of the blue 3 days before. Kristi was amazing! She allowed me to bring Tula for a visit beforehand so I would be comfortable and see that Tula was comfortable. She updated me daily and even ran to get more food when Tula ran out. Tula played with her other dogs and ran around in the fenced in area. Tula loved Kristi and stayed with no whining when I left her for my trip. This will be Tula’s second home from now on!”
“Becky was so kind to my sweet baby girl. Dora is an only kitty and took some time to adapt, but Becky was patient and loved on my kitty. Thank you for taking care of her.”
“What a wonderful person to trust with my pets while traveling. Xionella is a very gentle and caring pet sitter. Both of my small dogs stayed with her for almost a week and were relaxed and happy on pickup day. She sent frequent updates and some of the most cute pictures I have ever seen of my pups. I recommend booking with Xionella and I know I will for my next trip.”
“Patty was the absolute best with our new puppy when our other sitter fell through. She was patient loving and kind and even had to take her to the vet while we were out of town. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Went from worrying if my dog was going to miss me when I’m gone to does my dog like her sitter more than me! Genevieve loves hanging with Adam and it’s evident she’s well cared and loved when she is with him!”
“Piper had the most fun with Annette and Bodhi! I felt very comfortable leaving Piper with Annette and she was taken great care of! Piper was tuckered out when she came home and took a nap!”
“Russel is amazing! Bacon stayed with Russel for 4 days vs and one of those days we picked him up for a quick doggy play date. When we returned Bacon was ecstatic to see Russel again! Russel even had him dressed in the Jammie’s we brought for him on a cold morning. Russel went above & beyond & that was very clear. Russel is quick to respond & sends lots of pictures!”
About: I’m a fun loving dog sitter. I love playing with dogs, walking with them, and giving them tummy rubs. Being lazy is another quality I’m good at when me and the dog(s) don’t have anything better to do. I really do love animals. Their like fluffy teddy bears. Dogs deserve all the love and attention in the world. Weather they act crazy or not If the dog misbehaved then I would lightly pop it on the nose and say no but if the dog was nice then I’d give it tummy rubs
“Beverly and her family were awesome with Rex. They treated him like one of the family. We were also sent cute pics of him during his stay. 10 out of 10 would most definitely recommend!”
“Kassidy is a top notch dog sitter! I believe my pup had the best time roaming her fenced in property and was sad to leave. Kassidy provided updates and photos and ensured Priscilla was loved and cared for the entire time. I would highly recommended!”
“I was so worried about leaving my dog with anyone. I met Jonathan and one of his dogs at a park and his calm demeanor put my dog at ease right away. He definitely understands dogs. Within minutes of dropping my dog off at his house on the day of boarding, Jonathan sent me a video of the dogs which put my mind at rest. I had numerous photos and reports throughout the two days. I now have someone who is kind, capable and thoughtful that I can trust to leave my big guy with. Thank you, Jonathan, for being a welcoming host! Thank you, Rover, for working with such a quality person!”
