Great place for Javy to go stay! They took excellent care of him and sent pictures daily. He especially enjoyed the open areas to fun and fetch his balls! Hung out with the residence dogs and cats 😎 if you are looking for a great place to board your dog I would highly recommend Shaun and Katie! We will be rebooking!

Susan was absolutely amazing from start to finish! I never used Rovee before so I was really cautious and overall pretty scared but Susan assured me she'd take great care of Char while I was traveling. I received pictures and videos daily of char as well as text updates. In the videos alone I could tell my dog was not only happy but he felt safe and loved. I would highly recommend Susan!

Nicole and her family made Ranch a part of their family from the moment we dropped him off. I appreciated the attention and care they gave him and the updates Nicole shared throughout his stay. I would highly recommend Nicole for any dog owner looking for a safe boarding place for their pets.

Madison and her family were great with Thor. Will gladly book again in the future. She was worried about his non eating- as he does when I'm not around. I received great photo updates on him. She seemed to understand Thor and his personality. Thank you again:-)

Marnie did a great job looking after my boys. She was respectful of the property and we got daily pictures. I'll definitely hire her again.

This was my 4th time using Rover, & my 2nd booking with Dylan, & very happy to have trusted my boys with her! Her rates are gr8, & she's been very responsive! The 1st time I booked with Dylan in July 2023, I only had my senior, 13 year old cat, Jack. Now, I have a new guy, Stache. Jack is also now fully blind WITH Special Needs (not on medication, thankfully!) while Stache has a few possible behaviors & Dylan was able to follow my instructions for their care, & they did great! I don't have another trip planned, but it's a relief to know Dylan is super reliable, & will hopefully be available! Thanks for the caring care!

About: I’ve taken care of animals from all age and size. I’ve been around dogs and cats since I was born and have a lot of experience in dog sitting! I’m currently participating in an internship during the summer. When I’m not doing that, I would love to be taking care of any animal that needs it. I make sure my dog doesn’t go outside alone and we always make sure they are on a leash when being walked. I make sure to put their safety first!

This was my first time using the Rover app and I was a little nervous how it all would work out, but Taylor did a great job taking care of my barn cats while we were gone. I will definitely check into using her again.

About: Animals are my life — I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs, horses, and livestock, I’ve been caring for pets for as long as I can remember (28 years professionally I started pet sitting at age 16 ). I’ve trained and competed in personal protection with dutch Shepherds, lovingly nursed my own Cane Corso through colon cancer, and raised countless puppies and cared for senior dogs with patience and medical know-how. Whether your pup needs structured walks, medication, extra cuddles, or just a calm, experienced friend, they’ll be treated like family in my care. Reliable, strong on safety, and 100 % devoted to happy, healthy pets.” Pet care is my daily routine! My fiancé, our dog, and I travel full-time across the country for his work, ( I will be the only one caring for your pet) so my schedule is completely flexible and built around animals. Mornings start with me walking and feeding our own pup, then I’m free all day for drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays with your pets. Afternoons and evenings are the same — I’m almost always within a short drive and ready to help whenever you need me. I never have conflicts with a traditional job, appointments, or commuting. Your dog (or cat!) for however long you’re away, will be getting the same love, exercise, and attention I give my own. Reliable, experienced, and always available — that’s how pet care fits into my life every single day.” I treat your house with the same respect I expect for mine — shoes off, counters wiped, lights/temperature left exactly as you like. • Double-leash walks, secure harness/collar checks before every outing, and I carry a pet-safe first-aid supplies at all times. • 28 years of experience means I’m calm in emergencies and know the warning signs of distress, bloat, seizures, etc. Whether at your place or mine, your pet gets the same love and vigilant care I gave my own dog through her cancer journey — they’re never just ‘another booking,’ they’re family while they’re with me.”

About: I am a HUGE animal lover! I grew up on a farm so I’ve been around all types of animals and livestock. I used to work at a veterinary clinic for 3 years, an animal shelter for a year, and now I’m back to livestock. I currently have 3 cats of my own and a dog. I have been around and worked with all types and kinds! I will make sure your pet is comfortable and happy at all times! I do have a full time job, but am very flexible when caring for your animals. I am available week days in the afternoons and most weekends. You let me know what is needed and I can make it work with my schedule! I will give your pet lots of love, attention, and always take care of their every need! I strive to build that bond with them that makes them feel safe!

About: I have taken care of my two dogs for most of my life. Not only that but I have been taking care of neighbors and family friends animals since I was 14 years old. I love spending time with animals even if they're not my own. I don't have professional experience but its not my first time doing this sort of job I've found that creating a pet care schedule is essential for keeping your furry friend happy and healthy so currently I am not working any jobs now, so I have plenty of time to spend with anyone animal. Creating a safe and trustworthy environment for animals is of utmost importance so unfortunately, I do not have a fenced-in yard at the time but I have a great walking route for my dogs, and we love to spend lots of time outside.
