“Kelly and David were fantastic and such great people! We had a last minute boarding request and met them virtually.

I would highly recommend then and Roxy can’t wait to go back!”

“Dan is amazing!! She went above and beyond and gave multiple updates each day with photos and how my cat was doing. Dan cared for her like she was her own and was very attentive to my cat’s needs and quirks. She was always on schedule with feedings and changing the litter. My cat thoroughly enjoyed spending time there and was living her best life! I will definitely Rover with Dan again. I would highly recommend Dan to care for your pet!!”

She was on time, loved on our pups, took lots of photos, and Gabe us updates. Love her and will definitely book eith her again!”
“Alex was the perfect choice to care for my two rambunctious cats. I was on a 7-day cruise, so I knew I needed someone I could trust because communication can be an issue at sea. I was gone during a really cold week with ice and snow, but Alex was dependable to be there with my cats and my house. She kept me updated, sent pictures, and it was obvious the cats loved her. My house was clean when I returned, which was a relief! I highly recommend Alex and will use her again.”

I will always play with them to get them to exercise and have some fun. I can also take them on walks and runs and take them out for potty breaks. if they need to be fed at a certain time or need any type of medicine then that is very important to know in advance.

“Susan and her girls were so welcoming to me and Stella when we arrived and I could instantly tell she was going to have a wonderful day! Susan sent an update shortly after to let me know Stella was doing great, along with a picture, and I was very thankful for that.

I’ve trained explosives detection dogs, police k9s, service dogs, and more I am a full time k9 trainer and make my own schedule to accommodate pet care and can also bring any dogs to work with me. I provide a structured and enriched time for dogs staying with me and treat all dogs as my own. I also offer training during your dog’s stay at an additional cost
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up. I have always had a great bond with each one of them. As of right now I have a big golden doodle, and a little Aussie doodle, I love them both so much. My friends make fun of me because I baby them so much, I take them on car rides with me all the time and buy them ice cream cones every now and then. I promise to treat your dogs exactly how I treat mine! I’m currently unemployed, I’m about to go off to college in about a month so I’m just trying to find something to do in the meantime to keep me busy. I do play sports though so that does keep me busy but I can kind of move around when I want to practice or train so I should be pretty available. Well I take both of my dogs for walks often. I have a aussie doodle who is little, and a golden doodle who is huge, so no matter how big or small your dog is I can handle them.
About: I am a kind caring and loving person who has a lot of energy absolutely loves all animals but I am definitely a dog person. I currently have two very entergetic Australian Shepherds ages 7 and 4 years old. I have been taking care of dogs since I was a little girl. My parents raised dogs when I was younger so we always had dogs my whole life. All animals love me too. I love to walk and play with animals! I have a very flexible schedule for those of you that need care for your animals. I will make sure to follow there needs and if you have any special instructions. I’m looking forward to work with you and get to know your dogs and cats!

I respond quickly to requests and messages and will keep you updated. I'm a reliable person and am typically available on short notice if needed. The most important thing to me is that you feel comfortable and your pet feels loved and cared for. I'm retired so my schedule is open and flexible! I'm generally available on short notice and can do early morning visits and day/evening visits.

“Angela is a lifesaver! I have been working extra at the hospital every weekend due to Covid and her coming to walk my dog every morning that I work has been priceless. Her positive, upbeat and energetic attitude is just what my 8 month old Labrador needs after being in the house all night. And with my hurt back, just what I need after a 12 hour shift on my feet. I haven't used Angela for other services yet other than dog walking, but when I need them, she'll be the first one I ask. She is punctual, responsible, considerate, full of energy and always puts a smile on my Sochi's face!”
About: I'm 33 years old. I grew up on a farm and have been around animals my whole life! I unfortunately lost my fur baby in January of 2022 and due to landlord issues I can’t have another of my own again yet! I work full time as a nanny out of my home during the week, I'm very responsible and caring. I try to have flexible scheduling and would love to be able to care for your fur baby. I've been house sitting for about 8 years now. I'm a hard worker just looking for a chance to make a little extra money on the side doing what I love. Children and animals are my passion. I'm experienced with fish, turtles, dogs, cats, horses, cows and other farm animals. If you take a chance on me I promise you won't be disappointed!! I can do overnights and mid day potty breaks, as I work full time with a 8-5/6 schedule. They would unfortunately have to be on their own for most of the day though. I can’t have the animals in my personal home but I would do whatever you are comfortable with to keep them safe inside your home. I have experience with crating if necessary. Also have experience with cameras inside the home to keep an eye on your animals

“Kelly and David were fantastic and such great people! We had a last minute boarding request and met them virtually. They treated our Roxy like she was their own and kept in great communication and lots of updates with photos! It was great knowing Roxy was in good hands while we were gone and having a great time. I would highly recommend then and Roxy can’t wait to go back!”

“Absolutely wonderful experience!! Panda was well taken care of and I received photos of her daily along with updates. Gabrielle was very understanding about panda being old and not using the potty pads like she does at home the first couple days while she was there. I’m so glad to have found Gabrielle and her family to watch panda for us when we are away. Thanks so much!!!”

“Such peace of mind when Oreo stays here and it's so convenient and close to home. She loves going there and runs to the car to get in when I tell her she's going for a play day with Hunter and Kristin.”
“Dan is amazing!! She went above and beyond and gave multiple updates each day with photos and how my cat was doing. Dan cared for her like she was her own and was very attentive to my cat’s needs and quirks. She was always on schedule with feedings and changing the litter. My cat thoroughly enjoyed spending time there and was living her best life! I will definitely Rover with Dan again. I would highly recommend Dan to care for your pet!!”

“This was the first time we used Ms Arla & Rover, I was very stressed but our Javy was in good hands. She sent me updates on him & pictures. We love that he’s able to run, play & go for walks with her. We already have her booked for July while we are on vacation. Thank you so much for taking care of my baby boy.”
“Lynn is the best sitter. She has a huge fenced front and backyard and 4 great loving dogs. Her 4 dogs added our 2 dogs to their family. My dogs had a great time. She always shares videos and pics of them playing together. One of the best experiences i have had. Will be definitely giving our pups to Lynn whenever we go our of town.”
