“Our experience w/ Dan’s boarding was fantastic. We came from Chicago for family time where a 94pnd 3 year old German Shepard would not be having fun. Booking w/ Dan was easy, great communication and just a relief to meet him, tour the beautiful land they have. Instantly knew our girl would be just fine and she so was all dog smiles!

We’ll definitely be booking with Jason again, and I’d recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and professional sitter.”
“Simply put, Jennifer is the BEST ! She went above and beyond. I knew my little dog was in the most professional, caring, safe environment.

I will be contacting her for future pet sitting and recommending her to all.”
“Sriju is an Angel! She was able to help us with last minute care for our Rosie bookending our trip (with my parents babysitting in between) and Rosie was simply obsessed with her. She got all the cuddles and plenty of exercise and I was thrilled knowing she was in such capable hands!”
About: I am an animal-lover who would be happy to welcome cats or dogs into my home, or to drop by during the day to make sure your pets are cared for. At home, I strive to create a calm, clean, and caring environment where your animals will feel safe and loved. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with kittens, and helping you make sure your pets get enough attention throughout the day. Most of my pet care experience comes from taking care of my own animals, but I also pet sit as a kid. I raised a loving golden retriever and two Siberian cats. They have great temperaments, which I believe is more a testament to their care than breed alone. If you have shy animals, I'm probably a good fit to help them feel relaxed. I was impacted by a mass layoff and have a pretty free schedule. I have availability for dog walking starting at 2:00 pm. I'm generally available for boarding and am happy to discuss further availability and scheduling for individual inquiries. I will not work with animals with a bite history. I will not take animals that intentionally mark inside or that wear diapers. At your home: - Let me know your expectations. I want to respect your home so you have the best experience. At my home: - Cleanliness is important to me. If you're familiar with Friends, it's more like Monica's apartment and less like Joey's. We take our shoes off inside and try to keep things decent. I don't want to sound like a party pooper, but I'll clearly lay out my expectations and hope you'll recognize it's all in the interest of providing a clean, safe environment. - The home is pet resistant, not pet proof. Gates are available to discourage pets from traversing floors if your pet's physical restrictions include reduced use of stair cases. Please inform of any risk for behaviors like cord chewing - I want to keep your pets safe. - Any pets staying over at my house need to be on a current flea/tick regiment. Most familiar with flea/tick collars. Please inform if the regiment is non-obvious, such as medications or topical treatments. - Pets I work with must be up-to-date on vaccines per local laws and veterinarian recommendations, including rabies vaccinations. Dogs: - Dogs who are boarding >24 hrs. will be taken on 2-3 walks per day, generally following the schedule of 1 long morning and evening walk and one shorter mid-day walk. - Please bring your dog with enough of their food and medications for the duration of the stay, along with instructions for feeding and medicating. I can give your dogs oral medication, and crush it up and mix it with peanut butter if needed, but am not qualified to administer injectable or IV medications. I am uncomfortable giving dogs I don't know eyedrops. - I will have some treats on hand, but if you prefer specific treats, please bring them. - I am happy to brush your dog if you provide the brush, and your dog is ok with a new person brushing them. - For your dog's best experience, please bring your dog's crate or bed, blanket from home, and favorite toys/stuffies for comfort and fun. - Dogs will be able to explore the fenced-in backyard off-leash if they are not at risk for going under, through, or over the fence, or on-leash if they need more supervision. - We sometimes have wildlife that come through the yard, so please let me know if your dog is at risk of escaping trying to chase other animals. - I will supervise dogs while they are in the backyard, and make sure if the poop in the yard it gets picked up quickly - I don't let dog poop accumulate in the back yard. - I typically use baby wipes and/or a towel to clean paws when dogs comes inside after walks. Please let me know if your dog does/doesn't allow their paws to be touched. - Beyond puppies, dogs must be trained to pee and poop outdoors. I will not accept adult dogs that use puppy pads indoors, but can help puppies less than 1-yr-old with potty-training. - Whether or not dogs will be allowed on furniture will be determined on a case-by-case basis, based on behavior. - I will not accept dogs that rip, bite, tear, or defecate on furniture, or otherwise destroy property other than their own dog toys. Cats: - While at our house, all cats are indoor-only cats. This protects your cats and local wildlife. - I will have a cat scratching post. I can't accept cats that scratch furniture, carpets, or the house in general. - Cats must be litter-box trained. Litter cleaning: - I will use scoop-away cat litter. - I will scoop out clumps daily. - I will change out the litter completely, and disinfect the cat box weekly, and in-between animals from different clients.
“We couldn't be happier with Marylee! My lab had a great time at Marylee's place. During the two days when my dog stayed with Marylee, she kept us updated by frequently sharing my dog's pics and videos. I felt very comfortable having my dog staying with her the entire time, and I think my dog also felt very comfortable staying with her. Additionally, she kindly shared with me lots of information and dog training tips that were very helpful to me as a first-time dog owner.”

“Brooke took care of our cat Garfield while we attended our son's wedding in Virginia; it's been several years since we had a sitter. No worries. Brooke arrived on time, did everything we asked, and texted us a picture/update at each visit. She is now Garfield's new friend. Highly recommend her for your pet-sitting needs.”
“Tanya was great to work with and was great with our two dogs. Our dogs are a bit tentative when meeting new people, so Tanya was great with letting them get acclimated with her before leashing them. She is very responsive and easy to work with!”
“Rebecca was a wonderful sitter for our cat, Gabby! She was a great communicator before, during, and after our trip, and was even flexible when we had a date change. It took some time for Gabby to warm up to a new person, but Rebecca was persistent in finding new ways to make our cat comfortable during her visits. I would definitely recommend Rebecca and plan to use her again for future trips!”
“Jennifer was lovely! She house sat for our three cats, which includes two rambunctious kittens. She followed instructions and provided updates, and left our house in great condition.”
About: I’ve had 3 cats throughout my life and I’m currently caring for one them, giving me years of experience with different feline personalities and needs. Through caring for three cats, I’ve learned how to read cat’s body language, respect their boundaries, and create a calm, comfortable environment. I’m experienced with daily care such as feeding, litter box maintenance, and enrichment. I’m patient with shy cats who need time to warm up and I have a genuine love and passion for animals. I always prioritize cat’s comfort and safety while keeping owners updated.
“Judy is incredible! She took such great care of my cats and made me feel at ease while on a long vacation. Judy went out of her way to update me on the cats and went above and beyond in every way. Thank you Judy!”
About: Lifelong experience caring for dogs, cats and a horse and studying psychology in college. I believe quality time for bonding, play and affection is just as important as food/potty breaks for pet happiness. The best part of pet sitting is the quality time spent with your pet after all the business is done! I have a flexible schedule so I'm able to make most times work. I can walk, feed, water, scrub bowls, medicate (comfortable administering oral meds to dogs and cats), clean up as needed, play with and generally whatever is needed to keep your pet on a regular schedule. We have 2 friendly smaller dogs and a dog door & ramp straight out to the fenced backyard. The house is one level with only 1 step in and out. There are crates set up in multiple locations and there are ways to separate animals safely if ever needed. Someone is home all day every day, pets are never kept without heat or AC.
About: I have lived with a dog my whole life. I walk, feed, and play with my 170 lbs mastiff. I also walk, feed, and play with my neighbors 3 dogs, one of which has trouble walking and getting up and down the steps. I just graduated from college and currently not working, which makes my schedule pretty free. I am open to early mornings and/ or late night walks and feeds! If the house does not have a fence I will keep a leash on at all times to help ensure the dogs safety and help prevent them from running away.
“Kaylie did a great job dropping in for my cats Panda and Sakura. She sent amazing messages and photos and the cats were happy and well taken care of. I would use her again for future care.”

I will give your pet all the attention it needs / wants! We love to walk, play ball and to be outdoors. Drop ins please
“Angela once again took care of our cats while we were on vacation. She sends picture updates and lets us know how things are going daily. We came home to swept cat areas, scooped boxes, and no messes. We are very thankful for Angela and we trust our four legged kids with her. We will continue to book Angela for all of our travels.”
“Lin always takes excellent care of my cat Pepper. I was out of town for over a week and Lin took great care of her during her drop in visits. Lin took time to play with her every day during her visits as well. Pepper can be shy, but she loved having Lin there. I got a nice update and lots of pictures with every visit card.”

“Katherine is really a sweet person, she treated my Pudge as her own, it was my dog first time in a daycare away from us and he is not a easy dog. She communicated and kept us updated on how my dog was doing and tried her best to make him feel at home. I will be booking her again in the future ?”
“I don't normally leave reviews... however... my labradoodle had a BLAST! The property is beautiful and very well kept and clean... Dan and his wife are totally awesome, caring and super attentive to my dog's needs. I was worry-free the entire day. I would highly recommend Dan for your pup's needs.”
About: I’ve been both cat and dog sitting independently since middle school, and I thought Rover would be a great opportunity while I’m in still in college! I am currently a full-time online student so I’m available to take care of you pets anytime! I have a very open availability and can most likely make anything work! I have two dogs of my own who love meeting new friends, and a very safe fenced in backyard with more than enough room to run! As for your home, I can work with anything!
“I have never felt more comfortable with leaving my precious Corgi, Lugnut, than with Jim and Mary. It is evident as soon as you talk to them that they understand your dog is a family member. They are flexible with pick up and drop off times. The best part is they send pictures of the fun times throughout the day. I have used them many times, and are the first people I contact when we need someone to watch our pup. I could not sing their praises enough. Oh, and they have a fenced in back yard with a fence down the middle to create two play areas in case you have a shy dog, like my own. 5 stars isn’t enough to describe the wonderful experiences we’ve had!”

I care greatly about dogs and make sure that they are well taken care of with plenty of love and exercise. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover all of my life. As a little kid my childhood dog was my constant companion and when I wasn't with him I was with the neighbors' dogs. In my twenties I moved to Alaska where I pursued a career in dog mushing and for two years lived with 120 dogs! Unfortunately due to frostbite I had to move back to the east coast.

He loves every dog he meets. Littles is 15 and recently lost his sight He’ll try to keep up with Cash but mostly just loves to sleep.

We have a huge fenced in backyard, with lots of trails in walking distance! My experience administering medication Yes I have no problem administering medication. Including injections I’m currently a stay at home mom and almost always home so your dog will never be left alone for long periods of time!! My 5 year old is great with dogs and will give your animals plenty of love and attention!!! We have a large fenced in backyard with plenty of room to run! Your dog will be let out frequently and get plenty of exercise!! I try and take the dogs for a long walk at least once a day. Your dog will have free roam of the house, but we are more than happy to crate if you provide one. Our dogs eat in the am and pm, however we can accommodate your dogs feeding schedule.

About: Hello! While I don’t have any specific training on animals I grew up with a variety of pets all my life. I’m fond of our furry companions and have learned their needs and special requirements tailored to their unique personalities. I have a lot of downtime and can provide cuddles and or distance. I’ve never struggled with any pet, I enjoy offering extra care and even have a grooming station if needed. I love to be active as well so walking wont be a problem. I work from home for now. I do have appointments throughout the week sometimes but do not take longer than 2 hours. I wake up early and sleep late for potty break needs. I’m usually done with work around 2 and can take them to a park after or on the weekends. In my home I can crate dogs if preferred or let them roam freely at my place. My apartment complex has a little dog park and plenty of walking trails around the neighborhood for exercising needs. During our outings I will avoid other pets just for safety reasons. I have my own car that can be used for emergencies or longer trips to better pet friendly parks. They can sleep anywhere they’d like. If in your home, I will carefully do exactly as you say/request. So please provide a clear and detailed description of your baby’s routine. Thank you for your consideration!
“If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like family and provide top-notch care, I recommend Sruthi. She is a gem in my experience, and I will definitely be booking her services again in the future. She sends pictures and keeps you in the loop throughout the entire time! We definitely felt at ease with her taking care of our boy Milo. Thank you for taking such a great care of my baby!”
About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and energy levels — from playful young labs and doodles to senior dogs and cats needing extra patience and attention. I’m naturally calm and gentle, but I also love matching a pet’s energy through play, walks, and engagement. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important trust and communication are, so I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Since I’m home from college for the summer, I have a very open and flexible schedule that allows me to fully focus on pet care. I’m able to provide pets with lots of attention, companionship, exercise, and regular updates for owners throughout the day. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by sticking to their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, feeding, and companionship while adapting to each pet’s personality and needs. I also provide regular updates and photos for owners while they’re away.
About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with childhood dogs (Lab and a Scottish Terrier) and love all animals! I'm the go-to dog sitter for both family and neighbors as we have lots of extra room in our house and hearts, along with a fenced in yard. I can't wait to treat your baby like my own! My husband works from home and can let your fur baby outside as needed and keep them company. I love to cater to your dogs needs! Whether that's a game of fetch in the back yard, going for a long walk, meeting new friends at my neighborhood dog park, or hanging out on the couch, I'm just happy to have them around! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly cat at home. He keeps to himself for the most part. I also have two children who love to play with and respect animals as much as I do!

“Love Rodney & Marissa, professional, provided clear instructions and they obviously love, love, love animals. My dog Bailey warmed up quickly and in every picture she was in full sprint, running leash free as she loves. She enjoyed the other dog’s company as well. Rodney & Marissa kept in communication with Bailey’s hovering Mom and Auntie. So happy and pleased with the service provided. 🥰🥰🥰”

About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience, caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s been a lifelong passion. From a young age, I’ve been surrounded by animals and have dedicated my life to understanding and supporting their needs. I am a certified veterinary assistant and have worked professionally as a veterinary technician in a veterinary office in Utah, giving me a strong medical background and the ability to recognize and respond to a wide range of health and behavioral concerns. My experience also includes working in multiple kennels across many states where I cared for both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. This has given me the skills to handle everything from energetic puppies to senior pets requiring extra patience and care. At home, I’m a proud pet owner myself. I have a 13-year-old Chihuahua that I’ve raised since he was a puppy, as well as an 11-year-old pit bull mix I rescued from a shelter in 2017, and my beloved cat I adopted in 2023. My own pets have given me firsthand experience with aging animals, rescue care, and the importance of providing a safe, loving environment. When you trust me with your pet, you can feel confident knowing they will be treated like family—with compassion, experience, and the highest level of care. I am open most days, as I homeschool my child. Saturday afternoons are usually reserved for personal time but I am available in the morning and night. I can let your dog out in your back yard, take them for a walk, clean litter boxes, do playtime, give food, water, and medications on their schedule.

About: I have always had a cat and dog of my own growing up but I love all animals big and small. Whenever my family, friends, and neighbors need pet care I am always their first call! I always feed my pets, take them to the vet, and give them plenty of love especially when I am home from college for the summer. I have walked, fed, and cared for animals of many kinds. I love keeping them company while their owners are busy and I am willing and able to clean up after them.
About: I will treat your pet as if it is my own and will make sure they stay calm and happy while you are away!! I have experience with older dogs and puppies! I am available almost all summer.I am a full time college student working on my Bachelors of science but I am home for the summer. Pet sitting can be fit into my schedule as needed. I can let the dogs run outside for a while in a fenced yard, I can take them on walks through the neighborhood, I can practice commands, or just give some snuggles.
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life. I have previous work experience at a kennel. Most importantly, I am certified in pet CPR and First Aid. I am currently a college student, so my summer is completely free for all your animals. If you would like to schedule a meeting with me beforehand let me know! I have a 3 acre yard with an invisible fence. My neighborhood is a very nice place to take walks in. I also believe your pets should be comfortable, so if I come to your home I will make sure to take care of everything.
About: I am very kind and peaceful. I know how to approach and introduce myself to pets I've never met. I was raised with dogs and cats in my childhood home and I have been blessed with four dogs of my own and one cat throughout my adult life. My last dog, Cody (a Boston Terrier), passed in September 2016 and since then I enjoy cuddling, nurturing, and playing with my own grandpups (3) who are very happy and excited when they come for sleepovers at my house frequently. I am a business owner working from home which allows a flexible schedule for me and I have the ability to meet client's pets' needs easily because the work I perform is not 9-5. I live in a house on 1/2 acre with a fenced back yard. There is plenty of safe play room for pets. They will have free reign for stays in my home depending on their behavioral needs, just as my own dogs experienced during their lives. I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood where I am able to walk dogs by wooded areas and small fields, and also can take them to terrific nearby parks for outside time.
About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience taking care of animals as small as fish to as big as horses.

My availability may fluctuate as this happens but I’m happy to work with you as best as I can through any changes! With all pet care I always follow instructions to a T and am quick to notice if something is off with a pet. With overnight sitting I also tend to make sure the house stays neat and pets get lots of attention.

About: I’ve never dog sit for someone else before but I would love the opportunity to do so! I have two dogs of my own so I know how to take care of them, give them their proper food, and take them on long and short walks! :) Im currently working part time at my job so for the most part i’m available! Best days and times for me would be Thursday, Friday, and the weekends preferably in the late morning, afternoon, or evening! At my house we have a lot of gates and fenced off areas so that they won’t pee or make messes. If needed I can easily do so! I can also try to feed them specific foods you might have and such.
About: Hi!! My name is Sydney, I’m 23 years old and I’m a student physical therapist at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. Being a full-time student it hasn’t been ideal for me to have a scheduled job, so I love when I get the opportunity to dog/cat sit for my friends and family when needed. My boyfriend and I have a cat of our own named Scarlett, who we love to spoil on the daily. I am very flexible on the weekends and would love to have the opportunity of taking care of your furbaby! I am a full-time grad student during the week, however, my weekends are always very flexible. I would love to have your pets accompany me in my relaxing free time! I don’t mind having pets up on my couch/bed, as long as it’s not a rule in your home to keep them off the furniture. My boyfriend and I live in a home with minimum yardage, however, we live in the heart of Mount airy, with a beautiful downtown area near parks to take dogs for walks!
About: Ive been taking care of my neighbors, friends, and families pets for a little over 6 years now. Over the years I have learned many things about pets and how to calm them down and gently direct them in the right path. I also have lots of experience with senior dogs who need more attention to detail than younger dogs. Pet care fits into my daily routine quite well. Im a sophomore at frederick community college taking only one in person class, so my hours are almost always completely available! I am the dominant pet care taker in my home with two dogs (my angels). I care for pets in my clients home by greeting them and let them get to know me. If the client has a fenced in yard for me to take the dogs out and play thats amazing, but if not I take the dogs for nice walk to get them exercise and some entertainment. I am all for following directions so just let me know what you need and ill handle it!
About: I have always had dogs and cats growing up, which peaked my interest in animal care. In high school I worked as a kennel technician at a boarding kennel and gained an internship at the local veterinary office. now in college, I am studying animal science to hopefully get a degree in veterinary medicine, and continue to pet sit for my friends and family including both cats and dogs. I'm currently home from college for the summer, and home most of the time! I do have a car, and am available almost any time of the day. I have pets in my home that are not socialized, so I would not be able to pet sit in my own home, but I am happy to make the trip to the comfort of their own home.
“Just in the few walks we've scheduled with Lin, I can already tell she's the best dog walker we've ever had. Our dog looks forward to their walks together! I've also noticed how much better our dog walks on leash with us - she's not pulling as much.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for family and friends for the past 3 years, but I have been taking care of dogs for my whole life. I have experience with dog training as I trained dogs for dog shows. I don’t mind cleaning up and keeping the space tidy. I also love sending cute pictures of your babies when they’re under my care. I’m currently a college student, but over the summer I do research twice a week, so I am free most weekdays and weekends. I have plenty of time to do dog walks or spend a day with your pet while you are out. For multiple days, it depends on the dates and how long I can be away from your pet (ex. A cat) if it’s on a day I have to work my lab. I like to follow the instructions clients give me precisely and appreciate receiving detailed instructions. I love hanging out with your pets and playing with them. I like to keep their daily routine as close to their normal as I can, keeping them healthy and happy.

“Our experience w/ Dan’s boarding was fantastic. We came from Chicago for family time where a 94pnd 3 year old German Shepard would not be having fun. Booking w/ Dan was easy, great communication and just a relief to meet him, tour the beautiful land they have. Instantly knew our girl would be just fine and she so was all dog smiles! Thank you Dan and we will see you again next trip or after….. Respectfully, Erica, Nancy, & Hendrix”

We’ll definitely be booking with Jason again, and I’d recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and professional sitter.”
“Simply put, Jennifer is the BEST ! She went above and beyond. I knew my little dog was in the most professional, caring, safe environment.

I will be contacting her for future pet sitting and recommending her to all.”
About: I am an animal-lover who would be happy to welcome cats or dogs into my home, or to drop by during the day to make sure your pets are cared for. At home, I strive to create a calm, clean, and caring environment where your animals will feel safe and loved. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with kittens, and helping you make sure your pets get enough attention throughout the day. Most of my pet care experience comes from taking care of my own animals, but I also pet sit as a kid. I raised a loving golden retriever and two Siberian cats. They have great temperaments, which I believe is more a testament to their care than breed alone. If you have shy animals, I'm probably a good fit to help them feel relaxed. I was impacted by a mass layoff and have a pretty free schedule. I have availability for dog walking starting at 2:00 pm. I'm generally available for boarding and am happy to discuss further availability and scheduling for individual inquiries. I will not work with animals with a bite history. I will not take animals that intentionally mark inside or that wear diapers. At your home: - Let me know your expectations. I want to respect your home so you have the best experience. At my home: - Cleanliness is important to me. If you're familiar with Friends, it's more like Monica's apartment and less like Joey's. We take our shoes off inside and try to keep things decent. I don't want to sound like a party pooper, but I'll clearly lay out my expectations and hope you'll recognize it's all in the interest of providing a clean, safe environment. - The home is pet resistant, not pet proof. Gates are available to discourage pets from traversing floors if your pet's physical restrictions include reduced use of stair cases. Please inform of any risk for behaviors like cord chewing - I want to keep your pets safe. - Any pets staying over at my house need to be on a current flea/tick regiment. Most familiar with flea/tick collars. Please inform if the regiment is non-obvious, such as medications or topical treatments. - Pets I work with must be up-to-date on vaccines per local laws and veterinarian recommendations, including rabies vaccinations. Dogs: - Dogs who are boarding >24 hrs. will be taken on 2-3 walks per day, generally following the schedule of 1 long morning and evening walk and one shorter mid-day walk. - Please bring your dog with enough of their food and medications for the duration of the stay, along with instructions for feeding and medicating. I can give your dogs oral medication, and crush it up and mix it with peanut butter if needed, but am not qualified to administer injectable or IV medications. I am uncomfortable giving dogs I don't know eyedrops. - I will have some treats on hand, but if you prefer specific treats, please bring them. - I am happy to brush your dog if you provide the brush, and your dog is ok with a new person brushing them. - For your dog's best experience, please bring your dog's crate or bed, blanket from home, and favorite toys/stuffies for comfort and fun. - Dogs will be able to explore the fenced-in backyard off-leash if they are not at risk for going under, through, or over the fence, or on-leash if they need more supervision. - We sometimes have wildlife that come through the yard, so please let me know if your dog is at risk of escaping trying to chase other animals. - I will supervise dogs while they are in the backyard, and make sure if the poop in the yard it gets picked up quickly - I don't let dog poop accumulate in the back yard. - I typically use baby wipes and/or a towel to clean paws when dogs comes inside after walks. Please let me know if your dog does/doesn't allow their paws to be touched. - Beyond puppies, dogs must be trained to pee and poop outdoors. I will not accept adult dogs that use puppy pads indoors, but can help puppies less than 1-yr-old with potty-training. - Whether or not dogs will be allowed on furniture will be determined on a case-by-case basis, based on behavior. - I will not accept dogs that rip, bite, tear, or defecate on furniture, or otherwise destroy property other than their own dog toys. Cats: - While at our house, all cats are indoor-only cats. This protects your cats and local wildlife. - I will have a cat scratching post. I can't accept cats that scratch furniture, carpets, or the house in general. - Cats must be litter-box trained. Litter cleaning: - I will use scoop-away cat litter. - I will scoop out clumps daily. - I will change out the litter completely, and disinfect the cat box weekly, and in-between animals from different clients.
“We couldn't be happier with Marylee! My lab had a great time at Marylee's place. During the two days when my dog stayed with Marylee, she kept us updated by frequently sharing my dog's pics and videos. I felt very comfortable having my dog staying with her the entire time, and I think my dog also felt very comfortable staying with her. Additionally, she kindly shared with me lots of information and dog training tips that were very helpful to me as a first-time dog owner.”
“Lydia was an exceptional boarder, I would highly recommend her to keep your pet in her home. Her whole family welcomed Sophie like she was their own! Lydia supplied daily updates with pictures and couldn’t have been any more helpful. I will definitely utilize her services again hopefully (I will be boarding Sophie again in April). Thanks again for the stellar job you did Lydia, my wife and I couldn’t be happier with Sophie’s care! Mike & Lisa”
“Mindy was fantastic with Loopy! She was incredibly responsive and sent us fantastic videos of Loopy playing with the other pups and going on walks on the local nature trails! Loopy ended up with an ear infection between when she confirmed taking him and when he would be dropped off and knowing he wouldn’t be contagious without hesitation she agreed to give him oral and topical medication! Mindy was fantastic, flexibility and we highly recommend her and her family for dog sitting!”
“This was our first time using Rover.com, and we could not be happier! Evvery expertly guided us through the process - from the meet & greet, to drop off, to daily updates and photos, to a very happy reunion. We knew Ivy was in good hands - getting long walks along the lake, naps in an oversized guest bed, and plenty of cuddles and treats - and as a result, we enjoyed our time away even more. We cannot say enough good things about Evvery and her care. She is amazing!”
“Kacy and Justin took excellent care of our anxious senior dog and kept us throughly updated with pictures. Will definitely keep them as one of our go to options for boarding.”
