“Abi was amazing with Tater! Everything went perfect from the pre-visit, drop off, stay and pick up. Abi sent updates and pictures every day and throughout the day. We never had to reach out and ask how Tater was doing. We had to ask to extend Taters stay due to our flight being cancelled and rebooked. Abi was super flexible and allowed us to extend our stay. Tater was happy and relaxed when we picked her up from Abi. This was such a great experience! We will definitely be rebooking with Abi the next time we need a sitter for Tater.”

“We are so happy we boarded our dog with Nick while we went to Holiday World! He's an anxious little dog and really doesn't like kennels, so we tried rover.com for the first time. Staying with Nick was like having our dog stay with a friend. It's obvious he likes dogs, and he has a calming presence. He also sent us lots of updates and pictures and videos. Normally when we pick our dog up after a visit away from us he acts all upset with us, but he was fine and happy this time. We highly recommend Nick!”

“Emily did a great job taking care of our dogs. This was our first time leaving them for more than 1 night and I felt confident she was taking good care of them. I think they loved her fenced in back yard.”

“Courtney is wonderful! She took such great care of our pup and definitely put on minds at ease while we were away! I would definitely recommend Courtney for anyone who is needing help with their dogs - she’s amazing!”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 12 years old and have experience with all different types of animals: dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, and small animals like chinchillas, hamsters and birds. In addition to pet sitting, I have a long work history in the vet field working as a veterinary assistant, so I am able to administer medications and work with senior dogs or dogs with disabilities. I also have extensive dog training experience from training pets in basic obedience to task trained service animals. I absolutely love animals, and love helping other families with their amazing pets. Dog training and boarding are my full time jobs, so I am always around to ensure your pets have the absolute best care. Meaning lots of play time, time outside, and tons of cuddles. I myself have four very well behaved and friendly dogs at home, one being my medical alert service dog. I also have a dog room set up specifically for pups, where they can play or take a nap on huge dog bed. Ruffland Kennels are available for crating as well if your pet is crate trained. While our yard is not fenced, Dogs are always leashed or on a long line and supervised while outside. I also have a slat mill and dog pacer treadmill to provide plenty of exercise during inclement weather. I can also provide plenty of enrichment via puzzle toys, lick mats and kongs which is important for mental stimulation.
“Was so happy to have Chelsea watch Prince a 5 month old Boxer with plenty of energy. It was over 4th of July weekend and he hasn’t been around fireworks but she gave me updates and said he did well and sent me pics. He was fed properly and didn’t want to leave. Would recommend her and use her again. Dina/Prince”

“Kirsten provided excellent care for our 55 pound lab for an 8 night stay. She communicated daily with texts and photos. She made sure he got plenty of exercise and also gave him treats just like home! We could tell he was not stressed in any way. He enjoyed his vacation as much as we did!”

About: Hi! I’m Bre! I’ve got two dogs of my own! Finn is a toy Australian Shepard and Sadie is a chocolate lab! I’ve been around dogs my whole life and can handle any situation they have. I’m currently off of work for the next few weeks so I’m very flexible on my schedule throughout the week and am able to work most days I’ve got a fenced in yard with lots and lots of toys ! I’ve got two dogs of my own so they’ll have someone to play with!
“Marlene was fabulous. She is very close, yet tucked away from Holiday World, so we were able to stay in the park all day long. She sent so many great photos and updated us often, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to have fun without worrying about our babies. Our dog that is iron clad at home was acting out (and embarrassed me to death), but Marlene took him in stride and made his day fabulous despite the initial hiccup. Our dogs are elderly and we are so grateful for her and her family welcoming our pups for the day 🥰”

About: Farm grown! I have had closer friendships with more animals than people! I enjoy all types of dogs with all types of needs. I like to play fetch, go for runs/walks, rough and tumble, training, petting, beach and just about any activity a dog likes. Whether you have a pup that needs more exercise or one that just needs some love. I am a veteran, a forever student and a dad. I exercise outside daily regardless of the weather. Might as well bring a friend and make it fun! I am flexible and will provide the type of environment the client requests! I never privoke or push a pet outside of their comfort zone. I see them as children, and will protect them like my own.
“Kirsten is awesome! She took great care of my 12 week old puppy and made sure she was safe and comfortable. She has a nice fenced in back yard for the pups to play. Totally recommend!”
