“Cheryl is one if the most kind and caring people we could have ever left our dog with. Her love of her charges is very apparent and appreciated. She did a wonderful job of keeping in touch with us while we were out of town, with lots of correspondence and pictures. We would highly recommend her to anyone in need of someone to watch your pet…both day care and extended overnight stays. She truly treats them as if they are her family. Thank you Cheryl. We look forward to having you look after our boy again soon.”
“Ron was communicative and sent me pics so that I could see how Hachi was doing. He was able to put me at ease with leaving her with him. I plan to reach out again for any future sitting/boarding needs.”
“Paige was excellent!! I was a little nervous about leaving my 5 month old shepherd puppy with someone new but she was perfect. Introduced my pup to her dogs slowly and with care, made sure she got lots of play and interaction. Will absolutely be using her again!”
“Aurora and her family were great. I received daily photos of my dog when I picked her up. She seemed to be all happy and I could tell that she enjoyed her time there. I highly recommend her for your pet needs.”
“Kylee was amazing!! We have 2 high energy dogs and she handled them beautifully, lots of attention and activity. She was communicative and very easy to work with. Definitely recommend!!”
“Keitel was very welcoming. Our dog had been with the same sitter for almost 2 1/2 years and I was worried how she would do with a new family. Keitel and family were very good with her and the pictures sent showed us that she was very happy with them.”
“Charity was fantastic! It was our first time leaving our dog with someone new and she helped us feel so comfortable. She sent pictures and updates all throughout and we could tell Sadie was having the time of her life!!”
“Samantha was amazing! She kept me updated with photos and videos the entire weekend. She has a very calming and nurturing spirit that my dog Sammy really took to. I would definitely rebook and recommend her.”
“Darian was absolutely amazing with my dog Baxter. He stayed w her for a few nights while I was out of town and had a great time. She sent frequent updates, pics, and videos. She even sent him home with some goodies! Will definitely be using again in the future”
“Our dogs love Sam! They’ve stayed before, and will hopefully be back soon! I have absolutely no worries when we leave our babies in her care. Thanks so much, Sam!”
“As first‑time Rover users, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Sasha was honest, communicative, and treated our puppy like her own. We loved the photos and videos, and our pup came home even better behaved. We’ll definitely book again.”
“Hannah and Dylan are truly amazing!! They were so thoughtful and responsive! We received lots of updates and pictures of our dog! I will definitely be using them again!”
“We are repeat bookers with Heather and her and her family always do a wonderful job. Our pup was well loved and was excited to see her again! Will be booking with Heather again in the future!”
“Alyssa was great with my two dogs. One is up there in age and my young one has severe separation anxiety, so it was great to have them well looked after. She sent pictures and was very responsive when I did quick check in messages.”
“I was nervous leaving Lady at first—but after the meet n greet w/the other dogs + meeting Dennis and Kim, I knew Lady was in good hands. It felt better when I got pics and short vids for updates. I think it was harder on me 😂. I’d definitely recommend boarding your fur baby here. Lady will be back next time I need to have her at a home away from home.”
“I really want to appreciate you for sticking by my cats side during their after surgery healing. I feel awful for bee biting. But you stuck by her side afterwards. You communicated so well and the pictures helped giving me some relief.”

I have done it all from feeding, bathing, walking as well as administering medication. I am very kind, caring, and loving and I'll treat your animals as if they were my own! I work with pets every day so I am usually always available. I can also be flexible to ensure that it works with your schedule.

I keep a calm and kind demeanor, because every pet deserves a smiling face!

I am currently self employed so i have a ton of free time and love to fill it by being adventurous and trying new things so having an extra little buddy around would fit right into my schedule i have a fenced in yard with a privacy fence and a very friendly blue healer who loves to make new friends, with two kittens who like to keep their distance when it comes to other pets but they also don’t mind dogs or cats
About: I've been an animal lover since I was four when my first dog came into my life :) I started pet sitting for family and friends when I was around ten, and it's been something I've loved doing ever since. I've cared for all types of pets - from puppies to senior dogs, cats of all personalities, turtles, fish, and even some farm animals! I have no problem giving medications - I've given insulin injections to diabetic dogs many times and understand how important it is to stick to medication schedules. I understand how pets thrive on their familiar routines and environment. I'll make sure to maintain their schedule and send you updates with plenty of photos while you're away :) I know firsthand that there’s nothing better than seeing your pets happy and relaxed when you can't be with them! I work remotely and choose my own hours, so my schedule is quite flexible! I’m a bit of a night owl naturally, so I especially love taking fur babies for evening walks, but any time I get to care for an animal is a great time :) I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, turtles, chickens, and everything in between for over ten years now, so I have experience handling almost every situation that could come about :) I’ve administered insulin via injection to dogs, fed both cats and dogs pills, cleaned up after them if there are any accidents, placed them in (and taken them out of) crates gently and calmly, and generally whatever was necessary to ensure that every pet in my care is happy and well taken care of.

“Zhou is absolutely 💯 wonderful! He watched my Whippet while my mom and I celebrated her birthday in Wichita. The second day I dropped off Woody he was super excited to be there. Woody is picky and gets nervous easily. He basically jumped out of our vehicle so he could enjoy Zhou's care. Thank you!!!! Wish Zhou lived where I live!”
“We love Kylee! My Yorkies enjoy going to her house! She is always thoughtful and keeps us informed on how the girls are doing! This is our third time and we will book either her again! 5 stars ⭐️”
“Cheryl was wonderful with Dixie and Luna. She had plenty of fenced yard for them and even welcomed them into her house and bed to watch tv🤣. She also sent plenty of pictures which always helps when you’re away from your babies. I would not hesitate to take them to her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of my family and friends fur babies for a while, i’ve also baby sat kids as well as house sit and took care of animals while doing so! My goal is to make sure your fur-babies are happy, healthy and well taken care of while you’re at work or out of town! whatever the case may be I just want to make sure they’re loved! Due to not being able to have kids my pets are like kids to me and I treat everyone’s ’kids’ the same way i do mine, with lots of love!! I’ve done a lot of rescue work in the past with animals aswell as fostered several dogs! I also run my own business making dog and cat bandanas were i donate 10% of all profits to a pet rescue organization 🤎 I’m currently a stay at home dog mom, making taking care of everyone else’s pets extremely easy and very doable! I’m extremely flexible with my time and want to make sure your pets are well taken care of! I care for pets in my home or outside of my home the same way i do mine! Lots of love is given if they allow it, frequent updates will be given even if not asked. I want to make sure everyone can see how their fur-babies are doing and receive as many updates as possible as if it were me this is what i would want! I also do pet photography on the side and will get atleast 1-2 professional photos from my camera to give you during the stay - this is on top of the many photos i’ll send from my phone!
“We are so thankful that Sara has been available to watch our pup Luna while we’re in town visiting family. Sara is such a genuinely nice person, and Luna loves making herself at home with Sara and her boys. We never worry about her while we are away, because we know she’s in great hands.”
About: I’ve worked at a doggy daycare and volunteered at the humane society- I have also had dogs and cats for 17 years of my life! Currently, I have purposely left my schedule completely open for pet care during the week. I am available day or night, 7 days a week. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog in my home. I am very good at reading dog body language and knowing their limits while caring for them.
About: I have had pets my entire life ranging from dogs to cat to reptiles to fish! I’m very experienced with it all :) I worked at 2 dog daycares, a dog training facility, and now at a vet clinic !! I absolutely love going on hikes and nature walks so if you would love your dogs or even cats to go in the outdoors I can absolutely do so ! I love photography so tons of great pics will be added, if I travel with your animal, they will be in a crate in my car for safety. Since I have worked as a dog trainer ( not yet certified ) I will be happy to work on any commands or teach them any new ones ! ❤️ (If you book doggie daycare with me, we will not be staying at my home the entire time, we will be doing socialization training, nature walks/hikes, parks things of that nature, keep that in mind but down time will still happen as that is essential to the animal) A normal day for my dogs looks like several mini training sessions throughout the day, at least one nature walk or hike, plus mental enrichment and then doing socialization/desensitization training ! After all of that they get to be satisfied and roam around the house or my land as they please :)) Going into clients homes and being able to watch their animals is a privilege and I’m willing to do a lot for the animals. If the parents tell me a set of rules I never surpass their boundaries. The owners know their pets more than anyone!
“Brittney is awesome! She totally put me at ease when leaving my puppy Grace in Daycare for the first time. She made sure Gracie had time to adjust before introducing her to the resident dogs. She provided me with updates during the day. Gracie wanted to go with Brittney the second day so drop off was easy. I highly recommend her.”
“Linda took great care in reviewing and understanding the needs of my pup. We did a brief introduction to be sure her pets and mine would get along and I was very comfortable leaving him with her. They took several walks so he would settle and he was relaxed when I picked him up. Will definitely be booking again! Thanks Linda!”
About: My husband and I are lifelong dog lovers who both grew up with dogs and couldn’t imagine our home without them! We currently have three adopted pups from the Kansas Humane Society, and over the past three years we’ve also fostered 11 dogs through KHS — including 5 puppies. Caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels has taught us how important patience, routine, and a loving environment are for every pup. While we don’t feel experienced enough to do any official training, we provide a safe, playful, and affectionate home where dogs are treated like family. Our three dogs love making new friends, and our 9-year-old is a certified ball-throwing expert who adores helping play with visiting pups! I’m also a stay-at-home mom to a 1-year-old who absolutely loves dogs, and I’m always closely supervising interactions to make sure everyone stays safe and comfortable. Our home is set up to accommodate different temperaments and needs, with three separate spaces — a finished downstairs area, living room, and kitchen/coffee nook — that can be used for dogs who prefer a quieter environment, slower introductions, or their own low-energy space. We know how important it is to trust the people caring for your dog, and we’ll treat your fur baby with the same love and attention we give our own. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day and have plenty of time, attention, and energy to devote to caring for your pups! My schedule is very flexible, so I’m available most days and times throughout the week aside from the occasional appointment or family activity. When my 9-year-old is out of school, he’s my biggest helper and loves spending time playing fetch and giving extra attention to our furry friends. My 1-year-old is also a huge fan of dogs and happily tags along on walks and outdoor time. Our days are full of play, cuddles, potty breaks, and lots of love, so your pup will always have company and care while they’re with us! Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities. We have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and three friendly dogs who love making new friends and providing companionship during your pup’s stay. Because we know every dog has a different personality and comfort level, our home is set up with multiple secure, separate spaces to help everyone feel relaxed and safe. Our finished basement has its own outdoor access and can be completely gated off to provide a calm, private area for dogs who need quieter surroundings, slower introductions, or a break from other pups. We also have a separate gated kitchen/coffee nook area with outdoor access that offers a more social environment while still keeping dogs comfortably separated when needed. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day to closely supervise playtime, potty breaks, feeding schedules, walks, and rest time. Whether your dog is staying in our home, joining us for walks, or being cared for in your own home, we strive to create a loving, dependable, and low-stress experience for both you and your pet. We also offer drop-in visits and dog walks for local families, and we’re happy to come to your home to feed, let your dog out, provide walks, playtime, cuddles, medication if needed, and lots of attention while you’re away. We know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet and entering your home, and we’ll always treat both with the same care and respect we would want for our own family.
“My family and I are very glad that we found Keitel to care for Goldendoodle (Meelo). As dog lovers, we always wants to ensure that our fur buddy is taken care off in our absence. Keitel check all the blocks and exceed our expectations. Keitel is not only great with dogs but also very knowledgeable with them. Keitel afford my wife and I the opportunity to meet him in advance for us to ensure that the environment was suitable for our Goldendoodle. Throughout the stay, Keitel and his family treated Meelo as if he was his own. We received regular updates and pictures of Meelo and his new favorite family. Meelo was pampered and well taken care of and our mind was at ease. We can’t wait to rebook you again. I highly recommend Keitel to anyone looking for a doggie day care.”
“Charise took great care of our doggie. She made sure she’s comfortable and doesn’t miss us too much for 3 days. Charise sent daily pictures and updates. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have 30+years of experience with many kinds of animals. I have personally owned: dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, guineas, horses and a goat, pig and miniature donkey! Love my furry and feathered friends! I am currently very flexible and available throughout the week. I am also available on holidays. I am look forward to meeting your beloved pet! I am presently looking to do drop-in's and walks for now. I hope to include more services at a later date. I have a friendly small older dog that also likes dogs and cats. I have dependable transportation. I will care for your furry friend like they are my very own.
About: I have been a vet tech for 10 years. It is my passion. I had a disabled boxer so I am familiar with need to help disabled pets. I currently share custody of an energetic border collie. My 14 year old daughter loves to assist me when caring for your pet, please let me know if that is okay. I do work full time. If the pet is staying at your house, time permitting, I will check on them before work, lunch, and spend time after work with them. I will treat every pet as if they are mine. I normally feed twice a day and go outside as often as possible; weather permitting of course. If anything seems off, I have experience and a clinic I can take them too if needed.
About: I currently work as a zookeeper and have years of wild and domestic animal experience. Working with wild animals means I have a much deeper understanding of animal husbandry, psychology, and behavior that allows me to provide better care for your pet! I'm especially comfortable around and handling large dogs due to the nature of my job. Professionally, I have cared for a variety of wild animals including large cats like lions, tigers, and leopards, dolphins, seals and sea lions, and several canid species. That being said, I'm able to provide a deeper level of personalized care. I currently work 5 days a week, usually Wednesday-Sunday. On my weekend, I'm home all day. On my workdays, I'm able to leave during lunch to provide dogs with potty breaks. There is a dog park within walking distance of my apartment that I bring my dogs to every morning and evening. I do also have a dog potty set up inside my apartment just in case a dog can't wait for me to get home. I provide this because I personally wouldn't make myself hold it, so I would never force a dog to do the same. I provide a very safe, relaxing environment where your dog will be treated like family. I approach care with a proactive approach, rather than reactive. This means I always keep a close eye on individual pet behavior as subtle cues can indicate how a pet is feeling at a given moment. Many pet owners miss out on these cues, especially if they aren't trained to look for them. Overall, this means I try my best to create a safe environment for and trusting bond with any animal I work with via positive reinforcement and never push past an individual's limits.
“The doggies tell all. Dixie and Luna seemed to like where they were staying with room to run around and play. I appreciated getting photos of them with other dogs. Thank you Addy!”
“I was really impressed with Halie , she was the first sitter I chose with Rover in Wichita . I always used Rover when i lived in Florida and always had a good experience , I could find someone last minute and the app is very user friendly .I am a nurse and due to the pandemic I work long hours and weekends . Halie was very accommodating and my fur baby Gizmo really liked her . I am always nervous when I have to leave Gizmo , Halie was very reassuring and I felt comfortable with her . She sent me updates and pics while I was at work to keep me informed . I will definitely be using Halle again to watch Gizmo , she is awesome !”

About: I personally have grown up taking care of all kinds of pets. I also completely understand the importance of taking care of others animals like they are my own. I personally think it will fit in perfectly. I have a dog as well of my own that keeps me on my toes with his routine so to take care of yours will be no problem. I do have a job that I attend but can still provide care and potty breaks in between. I currently have a fenced yard. As well as I do have a dog that is 2 that would love a companion to play with.
About: For over 10 years, I loved and cared for my own beloved dogs before they passed away a few years ago, and for the past 4 years, I have been occasionally sitting for my neighbor's dog. I have a 6-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son who share my deep love for animals, so your pup will get plenty of gentle affection and enthusiastic playtime from our family! In our home, your fur baby will have a secure, fenced yard to explore. Whether they prefer high-energy fun or just lounging around and getting belly rubs, we adapt to whatever makes your dog feel safest and most comfortable. I am a Special Education teacher currently on summer break, which means I have a highly flexible schedule and open availability! My own children are in summer camp Monday through Friday during the day, giving me plenty of dedicated, uninterrupted time to focus entirely on your pet's routine, walks, and care. I am available for boarding and daytime companionship, ensuring your fur baby gets plenty of attention and love. As a SPED teacher, I bring patience, structure, and deep reliability into my pet care. I offer a very secure environment with a fully fenced yard for safe playtime. Because my husband works night shifts and sleeps during the day, our home maintains a wonderfully calm, quiet, and peaceful atmosphere during the daytime hours—perfect for dogs who get stressed by loud noises. In the evenings and weekends, my 6 and 7-year-old children join the fun, and they are incredibly gentle and respectful animal lovers. Your pet will receive 100% of our family's care and focus!
About: I’ve had a dog all growing up and want to take care of yours as if they’re my own. No matter the size, I want to be the best sitter I can be for them and for you! I’m available mornings, lunch and evenings to make sure your dog is well taken care of while you’re gone. I have lots of free time to make sure they are loved and taken care of!

About: I have worked closely with foster and rescue dogs for the last 7 years so I am very experienced when it comes to dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I have done it all from feeding, bathing, walking as well as administering medication. I am very kind, caring, and loving and I'll treat your animals as if they were my own! I work with pets every day so I am usually always available. I can also be flexible to ensure that it works with your schedule. I have 3 dogs of my own that are my pride and joy so I know how important it is to have someone you trust be able to take care of your pet. I promise to make sure your fur baby is loved, exercised, fed and watered while in my care!
About: I learned everything I know about pet-care at the vet I worked with many years ago. There my love and passion for animal…especially dogs… grew. It was also there that I learned cats are not my favorite. 🥴 Though I learned a lot from my time working at the vet, I realized that seeing animals suffering or in pain was not something I could do on a daily basis. That realization led me to this job. In my spare time I enjoy my community at Life.Church. Service there has taught me the importance of consistency and reliability. I was recently given a new mental diagnosis, and having my community, my family and my therapist surround me with love and support has been life-changing for me. I would love to get to know you and your furry family members! Because this is my full-time job, I have open availability, and would love to help with scheduled or drop-in visits. Please just leave written instructions that I can recall later, as your pup will not be my only furry client I will need to care for. I have loved dogs ever since I can remember. While I do enjoy my work as a house sitter, watching and caring for dogs is what brings me the most purpose. I have experience with big and little dogs, so whether you have a golden retriever or a Shih Tzu, rest assured, they will be well taken care of.
About: I have taken care of dogs for about a year now, I take care of my boyfriend and his family’s dogs and cat. I will make sure your fur baby plays and enjoys their stay!

My boyfriend has two dogs that could keep your dog company, they are very friendly with other animals. If not, that’s totally fine too! My backyard has a lot of space for your fur baby’s to run and play!
About: I have done rescue work for dogs. I actually have two dogs of my own one. I saved from the Humane Society and one I saved for a rescue who is going to be put to sleep for no reason. I am currently not working so I would be home all of the time with them. They would get all the attention in the world. We have a a fenced in backyard that they would be able to run around in and the cats would be kept inside and fed. What food daily if you please. I have a fenced in backyard and two very very friendly dogs who love new friends. Your dog would be very loved and taken care of. I also have four cats who love to have new friends in they would be very loved and taken care of and would not be let outside at all

About: Since 2018, I’ve been the go-to Rover sitter for pet parents who want peace of mind and pups who want nonstop love and attention. 🐶 I don’t just ‘watch’ dogs. I keep them safe, happy, and cared for as if they were my own.” I trust dogs more than I trust most humans, which makes this more than just a side gig for me. Caring for your pups is something I genuinely enjoy. Why choose me? • 🛡️ Safety first: Your dog’s wellbeing is always my #1 priority (and mine too, because let’s be honest, no one wants a Rottweiler deciding I look like a chew toy). • 🏃♀️ Active & alert: I’m quick on my feet, tuned in, and ready to spring into action if a situation gets “ruff.” • 🧠 Dog smarts + intuition: I have a natural ability to read dogs’ body language and moods, whether I’m meeting a nervous Chihuahua or a 120 pound gentle giant. • 📸 Peace of mind updates: Expect photos, videos, and proof of tail wags so you feel like you never left. Over the years, every dog I’ve cared for has left a paw print on my heart (and sometimes a little slobber on my shirt). Big or small, shy or spunky … I’ve worked with them all, and I strive to make every pup feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. If you want a sitter who will love your dog like family, treat safety like sacred ground, and sprinkle in a little humor along the way, I’m your person. 🐾 Taking care of dogs isn’t a side gig for me . Definitely a lifestyle. I already have my own little wolfpack, so loving, protecting, and spoiling pups is second nature. When your K9 is with me, they’re not just “watched”… they’re family. Think of it as a WIN/WIN: your dog gets unconditional love and adventure, and you get peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and thriving. I can’t wait to meet your best friend (and claim them as my new sidekick).
About: Hi! I have taken care of animals since I was a young child. I grew up taking care of a German Shepard and two cats. When I was a teenager I was the primary caretaker for my cat. From age 16-20 I volunteered at two animal shelters working with horses, farm animals, dogs and cats. I gained many interesting experiences working with goats, chickens, ducks and other animals while at the shelter. I dedicated more than twenty hours weekly volunteering. I currently have an older dog, who I adopted over four years ago when I lived in Florida. I am passionate about providing people's pets with quality walks and care. I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to trust someone to take good care of your pet, but I work hard to ensure the pets are well cared for while you are away. I am a nursing student and will be working at my job part time to accommodate my class schedule. When I am not in classes or at work, my availability is very open. My schedule does vary as nursing school schedules vary but I am very communicative regarding scheduling and availability. I care deeply about pet care and ensuring pets are treated with love and kindness. I saw first hand how hard it can be to trust someone to take of your pets while you are away. It is my mission to ensure that each animal in my care is treated with love, kindness and with the utmost care. I ensure that if you trust me with your beloved family member I will make sure that they are comfortable and happy while in my care. I appreciate you considering and trusting me to be apart of your animals life.

I'll make sure to maintain their schedule and send you updates with plenty of photos while you're away :) I know firsthand that there’s nothing better than seeing your pets happy and relaxed when you can't be with them! I work remotely and choose my own hours, so my schedule is quite flexible! I’m a bit of a night owl naturally, so I especially love taking fur babies for evening walks, but any time I get to care for an animal is a great time :) I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, turtles, chickens, and everything in between for over ten years now, so I have experience handling almost every situation that could come about :) I’ve administered insulin via injection to dogs, fed both cats and dogs pills, cleaned up after them if there are any accidents, placed them in (and taken them out of) crates gently and calmly, and generally whatever was necessary to ensure that every pet in my care is happy and well taken care of.

“Ron was communicative and sent me pics so that I could see how Hachi was doing. He was able to put me at ease with leaving her with him. I plan to reach out again for any future sitting/boarding needs.”
“Paige was excellent!! I was a little nervous about leaving my 5 month old shepherd puppy with someone new but she was perfect. Introduced my pup to her dogs slowly and with care, made sure she got lots of play and interaction. Will absolutely be using her again!”
“Aurora and her family were great. I received daily photos of my dog when I picked her up. She seemed to be all happy and I could tell that she enjoyed her time there. I highly recommend her for your pet needs.”
“Kylee was amazing!! We have 2 high energy dogs and she handled them beautifully, lots of attention and activity. She was communicative and very easy to work with. Definitely recommend!!”
“Charity was fantastic! It was our first time leaving our dog with someone new and she helped us feel so comfortable. She sent pictures and updates all throughout and we could tell Sadie was having the time of her life!!”
“Samantha was amazing! She kept me updated with photos and videos the entire weekend. She has a very calming and nurturing spirit that my dog Sammy really took to. I would definitely rebook and recommend her.”
“Darian was absolutely amazing with my dog Baxter. He stayed w her for a few nights while I was out of town and had a great time. She sent frequent updates, pics, and videos. She even sent him home with some goodies! Will definitely be using again in the future”
“Our dogs love Sam! They’ve stayed before, and will hopefully be back soon! I have absolutely no worries when we leave our babies in her care. Thanks so much, Sam!”
“As first‑time Rover users, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Sasha was honest, communicative, and treated our puppy like her own. We loved the photos and videos, and our pup came home even better behaved. We’ll definitely book again.”
“Hannah and Dylan are truly amazing!! They were so thoughtful and responsive! We received lots of updates and pictures of our dog! I will definitely be using them again!”
“Alyssa was great with my two dogs. One is up there in age and my young one has severe separation anxiety, so it was great to have them well looked after. She sent pictures and was very responsive when I did quick check in messages.”
“I was nervous leaving Lady at first—but after the meet n greet w/the other dogs + meeting Dennis and Kim, I knew Lady was in good hands. It felt better when I got pics and short vids for updates. I think it was harder on me 😂. I’d definitely recommend boarding your fur baby here. Lady will be back next time I need to have her at a home away from home.”
“I really want to appreciate you for sticking by my cats side during their after surgery healing. I feel awful for bee biting. But you stuck by her side afterwards. You communicated so well and the pictures helped giving me some relief.”
“Kylie is AWESOME!!! She sent great updates and pictures of my dog everyday. Super communication and accommodating for my crazy schedule. It looked like my dog had more fun with Kylie’s pack than she does at home. Definitely will book again.”
“Debbie was wonderful to work with! She allowed my boys a preview visit to see how they would all get along being away from me in a strange environment. She sent me pictures daily and answered all my daily inquiries quickly! One of my boys has separation anxiety and he was very well taken care of! I think they enjoyed some socializing with other dogs as a bonus! Nice to know I have a trusted option less than a mile from home, I will definitely be using her again!!”
“Misty was my first experience with Rover, and I am so pleased we found her! She was even more accommodating to our situation than was expected, and I so appreciated it! I would highly recommend Misty and will use her again should we need to. Her response time was quick and her communication was just great! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!”
“Eric and Halie were amazing pet sitters for my dog, Obi! Obi can be a bit anxious, but they were amazing at setting both him, and his mom, at ease! They kept me updated on how he was doing with pictures and messages every couple of days. They were also very good about this nervous mom and her first boarding experience. Very friendly. Wonderful sitters. 10/10”
