“Joni is the best! I felt like I was leaving my dogs at a resort when I left her home. Everything was pet friendly and my lab got to swim her heart out. I was so at ease with her watching them. Excellent communication. Would highly recommend!”
“I had a great first experience with Rover, thanks to Martha! Martha took amazing care of my dog for a whole week in her home. I was nervous about leaving him because he's had behavioral issues in the past, but it worked out really well! Martha was very responsive from the start and experienced with rescue dogs. Martha was very accommodating of Bumi's daily medication schedule and prescription diet, as well as his rescue quirks. She sent pictures and updates which were great comforts to me. Bumi was clearly very happy and comfortable while he was boarding. I will not hesitate to book Martha again!”
About: I have extensive volunteer experience at animal control, 4 years as an animal care technician, and have always had pets of my own. No dog is too much to handle. High energy? Great, let's run. Old timer? That's okay, we can hang out at home. Little puppy? No worries, I can practice training basic commands. I have managed to harmoniously share my life with 3 dogs, 4 cats, bunnies and chinchillas. I would be glad to spread that love to your furry family. No two dogs or cats are alike, so why provide cookie-cutter care? With me, your dog will be provided one of a kind exceptional care. On top of it all, I can take some pretty cute pictures. No worries if your pet is independent or prefers a quiet environment, we are able to separate the house into different wings. At this time I am working from 7-3:30 Monday-Friday, the rest of my time is spent at home with my pets where I am available to provide the same care I will never put your pet in a situation they are not comfortable with and promise to provide what they need for their safety whether it's personal space, a gated off room, time in a crate or social play time with my owns dogs
“Sara and John were a great fit for my two high energy dogs. Their entire family loved having the dogs around and spent alot of time out doors or snuggled up. They were very communicative throught the entire stay as well and I received loads of pictures of my happy girls.”
“Victoria and Rishi and lovely attentive people who kept my little guy really safe and happy when I had to make a last minute trip out of town. I will definitely be booking with them again. Highly recommended!”
“Susan made me feel very comfortable leaving Cora with her. You can tell she is a true animal lover! She sent updates and pictures and Cora was well looked after. We’ll use her again!”
“My dog Cooper was very relaxed and at home with Cheryl. I felt at ease with Cooper in her care with his special dietary needs and separation anxiety. I really appreciated how she accommodated my change in schedule due to unexpected travel delays. Definitely will rebook for future dog boarding.”
“Kasey was amazing! She was so good with Buddy. I felt so comfortable leaving him. She has a perfect set up for the dogs. Her dogs were great with Buddy too even though they were much larger. They were very kind and gentle. She was great at sending pics and communication. I would highly recommend Kasey!”
“Marty was fantastic with my dog. She accommodated our need on short notice and treated our girl like her own. She sent me photos and videos through out the time I was away. Her home and yard are beautiful. The fenced area was very impressive! I will definitely trust Marty with my dog in the future.”
“Haley provided EXCEPTIONAL care, from the meet and greet to Milo’s sleepover! I appreciated the attention to detail, communication and the picture you printed of Milo’s stay is now hanging on my fridge! THANK YOU for the special touches you provided. 💗”
“Donielle is a phenomenal pet sitter! This was our first time leaving our dog, and we never worried for a minute. She has years of experience and took fantastic care of our pup. It felt like our dog was on her own vacation and having so much fun she didn't even miss us! I highly recommend Donielle for her professional and caring service.”
“Jordan’s communication was top notch!!! Jordan was very attentive to my concerns and was flexible with our pick up/drop off schedule. Most importantly, I felt like Willard was in good hands for the short time we were away. Jordan sent texts and pictures of Willard and kept us updated throughout the stay. Jordan is great!! Highly recommended sitter!”
“Kim is a fantastic pet sitter who cares for my fur baby exceptionally well. She is friendly, trustworthy, and caring. This is already our third visit, and my dog has enjoyed his stay each time.”
“This was our second time having our pups stay with Toni and it went incredibly well! Such a relief to find someone that they feel comfortable with. Thank you, Toni!”
“Max and Mariah took great care of our two 9 month old pups over an entire 4-day holiday weekend. These puppies are high energy and were allowed to play in their fenced in yard to their heart’s content and adjusted well to their already busy household. I will definitely check with them first if ever needing boarding again.”
“Rose came home happy and tired. She had the best time with Chris and family. He sent lots of photos over the weekend which was very appreciated. We look forward to using their dog sitting services in the future. Thanks again for taking care of our girl!”
“Paige did an excellent job with our Dolce. Each day, we received updates with pictures/videos alongside a summary of the day. Paige was also very good with communicating with us in a timely manner. Overall, a great experience! Thanks Paige!”
“This is the first time we have used this service. Holly was very friendly at our meet-and-greet...I could tell that she was an animal lover. We were still very nervous, because our Oliver is 8 months of crazy. But, Holly really treated our Oliver like he was part of her family. She sent us pictures during his stay...he seemed very happy. We highly recommend Holly and if a need ever arises again, we will definitely ask her. Thank you Holly for your compassion and patience with our little one.”
“I cannot recommend Olivia enough! I will definitely keep having her watch my boy for me. We just moved across the country and have never had our dog stay with anyone he didnt already know so we were extremely nervous, but not only was she incredibly kind and patient with the booking process, Olivia even accommodated our last minute schedule mess up and took our boy in a day early. We got pictures every single day and a text on how he was doing. Got our boy back today and its so easy to tell he had a good time. Thank you olivia!!”

About: I have owned pets my entire life. From a little shitzu to a big pitbull. I have watched friends and family's dogs over the years and now looking to help other people with their fur babies. I was a dental hygienist but due to my twins needing more support I have decided to become a stay at home mom.

I want you to have trust with me with your animals. I'm a great communicator and will always respond and will send pictures !
“Great care! Highly recommend. She even contacted me to let me know something was weird in the house. She went above and beyond. I will be hiring her again next time we need care.”
About: I use to work for my grandmother who would raise dogs, take care of them, and then give someone a dog. I would clean up after dogs in all ways. Take care of the puppies with the moms.

“Suzi is very professional and took excellent care of our five cats. She followed the instructions I left exactly and kept me updated throughout the week. We have two cats that require special food and she was able to do that without a problem. I never questioned the level of care my cats would receive throughout the week and highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of cats since I was a kid. Between family members and friends, they have always been a part of my life. I currently own a 6 year old cat named Yuri that we rescued.

“Marlana is conscientious, prompt and so sweet with my cats. Both took to her right away and my normally shy and skittish Maine Coon especially fell in love. Great communication while we took a long trip, sending updates and photos. Also very patient helping me use the Rover app, which is not intuitive!”
About: My love for animals has been an extension of me for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats so I am well phased in caring for both. I do not claim to be a dog trainer but I will care for your animal in all ways that fit their needs, whether that means senior or puppy care! To me, every animal has their own unique personality and I am so excited to get to know them! 😊 I work full time so I will need two weeks in advanced for in home pet care including overnight stays, however dog walking is something that I set time aside for daily so I can fit time for that into my schedule every day! I can offer client in home care your your pets and daily dog walking. I am familiar with crate training, scheduled feeding and daily exercise.
About: While I love animals of all kinds, cats are my soul animals. As you probably saw in other spots on my profile, I currently have 4 of my own. (I had five, but I very sadly lost my dear girl, Rita, to cancer last year ❤️). I love my kitties so much that I literally have two of their portraits tattooed on my arm. They're my entire world. I know that those of us who love cats, all share the same obsession. We're a special type of person. I currently care-take for my sick boy, Castle, dealing with his kidney disease. And have taken care of all my babies with the utmost care through their whole lives. I'm comfortable and confident in giving all kinds of medications, including administering subcutaneous fluids by myself. I'd love to care for your kitties while you're away!
“Elizabeth was great! Very attentive and communicative throughout the stay. She came to spend some time and care for my cat just after we said goodbye to our other cat earlier that weekend. She was very empathetic and kind to our situation. I’ve had so many issues with finding quality care through rover, and it was such a relief to find someone who I can trust in. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thanks, Elizabeth!”
About: Part-time working mother of two looking to help my community care for their pet family members. I have always had a love for animals and had pets my whole life until a few years ago. Our beloved chocolate lab passed away and we have decided to wait until our children are older before we welcome another fur child. I understand the importance of respecting others homes and treating your pet as one of my “children”. I am responsible, punctual and looking forward to getting to know your pet! I am currently working from home three days a week which allows me to be available most days, nights, or weekends for drop ins, house sitting and walks. I enjoy going on runs and walks both in the country and around town. I live near a county park that allows dogs to swim and run around.
“We always feel so much more at ease being on vacation when Alex is checking on our cat babies. He sends photos and lets us know how they are doing. Our one cat can be fussy about where she eats and we know that Alex will move her plate so she can have her solo moment. We appreciate the care and attention he provides.”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my hands-on experience and deep, personal connection with dogs of all ages. With over three years of experience, I’ve been trusted by clients and family alike to care for their pets—whether it’s energetic puppies needing structure and training, or senior dogs who require patience and gentle attention. I’ve trained my own dogs from puppyhood, so I understand the importance of consistency, communication, and care. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. Whether it’s feeding, walking, cleaning, or just spending quality time with animals, I make space for it consistently. I’m already used to structuring my days around the needs of pets, from early morning potty breaks to evening playtime or check-ins. Being flexible and dependable allows me to give each pet the attention they deserve, and I take pride in making their care a regular, reliable part of my week. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and familiar environment tailored to each pet’s needs. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space with a consistent routine for feeding, walks, play, and rest—just like I do for my own pets. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their routines and preferences, making sure their pets stay comfortable with minimal disruption. I follow all instructions carefully, keep the space clean (including litter boxes, food areas, and floors), and always make sure pets feel loved, secure, and well-cared-for while you’re away.

About: Hello! I’m a passionate, aspiring dog trainer with a special love for German Shepherds. I recently raised a litter of puppies, which deepened my understanding of early puppy development and the importance of critical socialization. That experience sparked a stronger interest in training and caring for dogs during their most impressionable stages and beyond. I’m currently expanding my hands-on experience and would love the opportunity to care for your dog—whether it’s through boarding, walks, or helping with basic training and structure. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely dedicated to each dog’s unique needs. Whether you have a playful pup or a more mature dog, I’m here to provide a safe, structured, and loving environment. Let’s give your dog a happy, enriching experience! I’m currently doing pet care full time with aspirations of starting my very own dog training program one day. I’m soaking up all of the experience I can get right now. My backyard is secured by a 6ft wooden privacy fence and features a 900sqft barn which has multiple crates for dogs of all sizes. My house is dog friendly as well being completely puppy proofed.
About: I've had a dog for the past 5 years ( shiloh ) she's a German Shepard! She is wonderfully and well trained also is fixed. she does love to greet people so she might jump. I've also dog sat for many years as well and I worked for a dog company back in 2017 where I took care of daily task as well as medical needs when necessary, and worked along side pregnant and and birthing mothers. I have had a couple cats growing up, none to call my own though. So I am also acquainted with the care of cats and kittens as well as shiloh was raised around all types of animals and children of various ages so we are comfortable saying there should be no issues with her. However we can make other accommodation for her if you don't feel comfortable with another animal in the home. One final note I have 2 children a 1 year old and a 3 year old. I hope you enjoy my profile and to hear from you soon! I have a 5 year old German Shepard who lives full time with me and my children at home. I know how to give medication, shots aswell as cut nails and bathe but I do not feel comfortable trimming or giving the dogs a hair cut. I don't have a fence, i do have a little yard but I have harnesses and leads to walk and take the dogs out side to play. I do have a crate available if needed my dog is trained as well as crate trained. Shiloh ( my dog ) love the company of other fur babies to run around as play with. My two children are also in love with animals but I do have a vary large second living room and attached mud room that I can limit off for dog access if it would make having a dog stay here more comfortable due them not being used to children!
“Bishop enjoyed his first time with Kasey. He's always a little freaked out when I leave him. But he settled in pretty well. Kasey sent lots of photos. Plus her dogs made him feel more comfortable. It was a good experience for hi, Thanks!!”
“Paige was extremely caring and kind to our doggo Buttercup. She took extra care to make sure she felt safe in her home and get her walks, treats, and even cuddle time. Paige regularly updated us on the status of Buttercup and took the cutest pictures, too! Highly recommend Paige for your dog-sitting needs!!”
“Alex was so helpful for us. We needed somewhere to put our dogs for an evening for my daughters graduation from MSU and a few hiccups came up along the way and Alex was able to accommodate a few last minute changes. She sent us pictures and videos so we would know the animals had settled in. Definitely would recommend her.”
About: I’m a dog owner and lover who treats every pet like part of the family. Our home is a peaceful, lakefront retreat where dogs get plenty of attention, affection, and a calm environment to feel safe and loved while you’re away. Each dog will have their own private space and we have a puppy community areas indoors for the winter. Our backyard is not currently fenced but will be fully fenced in with a 6ft fence by March. We have 2 lovely dogs ourselves, a male mini Aussie and female puppy golden retriever. I’ve grown up around pets and have hands-on experience caring for dogs, understanding their needs, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure. Together, we provide a structured, nurturing environment with lots of supervision, play, and one-on-one attention. Your pup won’t just be boarded—they’ll be on vacation. From cozy private spaces to outdoor time and daily updates, we make sure every dog truly lives the good life while staying at our lakefront home. We can’t wait to welcome your pet into our home! Your dog will never be left alone or unattended in our home. My wife, our in-house assistant, and I work together to ensure dogs are seamlessly cared for throughout the day in a calm, structured environment. My wife is home full-time and is the primary caregiver during the day. She handles feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, rest periods, and one-on-one attention. Her background in childcare as a nanny translates perfectly into maintaining routines, monitoring behavior, and providing patient, attentive care. Our in-house assistant is also home full-time and supports daily care by assisting with supervised play, cleaning and sanitizing spaces, meal prep, and individual check-ins. This allows us to keep our dog-to-human ratio low and give each pup personalized attention. I’m actively involved as well, helping with morning and evening routines, enrichment activities, and overall supervision. With multiple adults present at all times, dogs are rotated through play, rest, and care schedules so no pup is ever overwhelmed or overlooked. Because we are always home, dogs receive frequent potty breaks, consistent supervision, and plenty of affection—just like they would with their own family. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are our top priorities. We’ve intentionally created a calm, structured environment where dogs are closely supervised and cared for at all times. Our home is never unattended—my wife, our in-house assistant, and I are always present, ensuring constant supervision throughout the day and night. Dogs are cared for in a controlled setting with private, comfortable spaces to rest and decompress, helping reduce stress and overstimulation. We maintain strict cleanliness and safety standards, including regular sanitizing of all dog areas, food and water bowls, and shared spaces. We follow each dog’s individual care instructions carefully, from feeding schedules to potty routines and any special needs. We are selective about the dogs we accept to ensure a safe, positive environment for everyone. This allows us to maintain a low dog-to-human ratio, closely monitor behavior, and give each pup the attention they deserve. For added peace of mind, we provide regular photo and video updates so you can see your dog happy, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. Our goal is to create a trusted home-away-from-home where you can travel confidently knowing your pet is safe, loved, and in great hands.
“We loved the communication and photo/video updates throughout the day. Dogs seemed like they had a great time and got home tuckered out. We appreciated the integrated training and slow, deliberate intro to other dogs.”

About: Hi there! My name is Ruby, and I was born and raised in Clinton County, MI. Growing up, my family had a variety of pets, including an Old English Bulldog and German Shepherds, which helped shape my love for dogs from an early age. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own since we’re renting, I’m looking to take on opportunities like this to earn some extra income during my final summer before graduating. I absolutely love dogs, have experience pet sitting and staying overnight with pets on multiple occasions, and some of my favorite breeds are Basset Hounds and Golden Retrievers. My schedule varies, so I’m using this as an opportunity to help fill in the gaps on a day-to-day basis. At the same time, I’m hoping to build consistent work so I can establish reliable income while also getting to know and build relationships with specific pups over time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always keep in mind that I’m stepping into their space and routine, and that their pet may not know me yet. I make it a priority to take the time to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and at ease by moving at their pace, respecting their routines, and building trust. Whether that means going for walks, keeping feeding schedules consistent, providing playtime, or simply offering companionship, I aim to create a calm and positive experience while making sure your pet feels cared for in a familiar environment.

I also don’t work on holidays It's essential to conduct drop-ins on the dogs they care for to ensure their well-being and comfort. Regular visits play a crucial role in maintaining the dogs' daily routines, which can significantly reduce stress and anxiety for the animals.
About: I had a chocolate lab. She passed away in July 2020. She was 16 years old. She was on medicine and had a couple surgeries so I am used to taking care of older dogs with meds, etc. I do have 5 cats and they are very spoiled. They are outdoor/indoor. They range in age from 9 yrs-2 yrs-old. I believe in daily exercise for animals, I even walk the cats! I am available very early mornings 6-7am and in the evening from 7pm on. I am also available on most weekends. I look forward to seeing your pet and helping you out! I have a full time second shift job. I will be available in the mornings before 3:00pm and most weekends all day long if needed. I am currently not boarding any pets due to my cats being very spoiled and particular about who they have around the house. I will give the best care to your pet in your house. I believe in exercise and a good diet for your pet and also the occasional treat.
About: I’ve been in charge of just about any type of pet under the sun; including most reptiles and rodents. I’ve even cared for a marsupial! I’m up for any challenge, including special needs and medications. I’m currently finding myself with a lot of free time, so I’m open to pet sitting and dog walking throughout the week, with Monday being the only exception. I will follow any house rules given, and keep owners updated as often as they prefer. If medications are needed, I’ll have no issue administrating on schedule. I will make sure to keep all pups hydrated and happy on walks, and am open to sharing my location if asked.
About: I've owned pets of all kinds starting as a child! Animals bring me incredible joy, and I'd love to bring that joy into your home when I watch yours! I've owned, rescued and loved cats, dogs, rabbits, ducks, raccoons, birds, and squirrels! I currently own 4 cats, all of which were rescues. Two of them brother and sister who I hand raised and bottle fed. I also have 3 dogs, A gaggle a blue heelers, so I'm especially used to high energy pups. Though they very recently left my care due to a separation. I take great pride in the attention to detail I give to the animals in my care. I'm experienced in giving all kinds of medications, to both dogs and cats. In fact, one of my own kitties has kidney disease, and I've been managing his treatment and care 100% alone. Cooking him three meals a day, hand feeding, administering any medications needed, and even giving him at-home subcutaneous fluids. But as always, let's please communicate about the details of your pet beforehand if any special care is needed so we can make sure we're a great fit for eachother! I'm a corporate professional who is very fortunate to work from home, and has really great control of their schedule! So I can very likely work my schedule around your needs! For those whose pets I will be dropping in on to feed or walk, I take great care in making sure instructions are followed, and all the needs of your pets are met! I have an abundance of love to give, so rest assured that they'll get as many scritches as they can handle, and as much fulfillment as I can give while I'm there. I know what it's like to have to leave your fur-family alone, and I'll do everything I can to make this time a positive one for them, and you! I also offer cat boarding, which seems rarely offered. I wanted to offer this because I myself have been in a situation where I've needed this service, and I've never found a place that offers it, and it was absolutely so stressful so try and find a solution! For the kitties that stay with me, I have a completely separate spot in my house that I will have them stay in, since I have kitties of my own. The previous owner of my house actually had this section designed as an in-home salon, so it has a completely separate entrance into my home. As cat owners, we know how sensitive and stressed they can get, and introducing cats to other new cats just adds more unnecessary stress. This separate entrance and room allows for a stress free, safe environment that's large and clean to play and hang in, all to themselves! They will have their own sanitized, fresh litter, litterbox at the ready for them. No need to have to haul your own supplies here! Just bring any food and treats (or any special toys or blankets that you feel might be good things for them to enjoy their stay better, or be more at ease!) Your pets must be fully vaccinated in order to come stay, so please be ready to show proof of up to date vaccinations prior to any boarding bookings. This is for the safety of both your fur babies and mine.
About: At an early age, I started walking the neighborhood dogs. I’ve always loved animals, and treat them as my own. Friends and family often rely on me to watch their pets and take them out when needed. I’m very attentive and will treat every animal with the kindness they deserve. I work from home three days a week, and have the weekends off. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can take my work with me anywhere I go. Caring for your pets in your home will be my main priority. I will make sure they are well taken care of, loved, and feel safe.
“Lisa is delightful and a great communicator. She is reliable and so good with my senior chihuahua mix, Mika. It is very comforting to know Lisa also has a senior chihuahua, and is very experienced with dog care. I am happy Mika seems to really enjoy her walks with Lisa and was able to get comfortable with her fast. Lisa takes her time and is in tune with Mika’s needs. I feel bad on days I have to leave Mika alone at home for so long for work, so it means the world to me that Lisa makes sure her time with Mika is quality bonding.”
“Nikki has been great with my young dog. She has walked/dropped in to check on him during two separate occasions when he was healing from surgery or other procedures from the vet. She is great about sending updates for when she is on the way to my house and on my dog’s mood that day. She is very good at reading him and judging whether he wanted to walk that day or just hang out in the backyard. I recommend Nikki for drop in visits or dog walks.”

“I had a great first experience with Rover, thanks to Martha! Martha took amazing care of my dog for a whole week in her home. I was nervous about leaving him because he's had behavioral issues in the past, but it worked out really well! Martha was very responsive from the start and experienced with rescue dogs. Martha was very accommodating of Bumi's daily medication schedule and prescription diet, as well as his rescue quirks. She sent pictures and updates which were great comforts to me. Bumi was clearly very happy and comfortable while he was boarding. I will not hesitate to book Martha again!”
About: I have extensive volunteer experience at animal control, 4 years as an animal care technician, and have always had pets of my own. No dog is too much to handle. High energy? Great, let's run. Old timer? That's okay, we can hang out at home. Little puppy? No worries, I can practice training basic commands. I have managed to harmoniously share my life with 3 dogs, 4 cats, bunnies and chinchillas. I would be glad to spread that love to your furry family. No two dogs or cats are alike, so why provide cookie-cutter care? With me, your dog will be provided one of a kind exceptional care. On top of it all, I can take some pretty cute pictures. No worries if your pet is independent or prefers a quiet environment, we are able to separate the house into different wings. At this time I am working from 7-3:30 Monday-Friday, the rest of my time is spent at home with my pets where I am available to provide the same care I will never put your pet in a situation they are not comfortable with and promise to provide what they need for their safety whether it's personal space, a gated off room, time in a crate or social play time with my owns dogs
“Sara and John were a great fit for my two high energy dogs. Their entire family loved having the dogs around and spent alot of time out doors or snuggled up. They were very communicative throught the entire stay as well and I received loads of pictures of my happy girls.”
“Susan made me feel very comfortable leaving Cora with her. You can tell she is a true animal lover! She sent updates and pictures and Cora was well looked after. We’ll use her again!”
“My dog Cooper was very relaxed and at home with Cheryl. I felt at ease with Cooper in her care with his special dietary needs and separation anxiety. I really appreciated how she accommodated my change in schedule due to unexpected travel delays. Definitely will rebook for future dog boarding.”
“Marty was fantastic with my dog. She accommodated our need on short notice and treated our girl like her own. She sent me photos and videos through out the time I was away. Her home and yard are beautiful. The fenced area was very impressive! I will definitely trust Marty with my dog in the future.”
“Haley provided EXCEPTIONAL care, from the meet and greet to Milo’s sleepover! I appreciated the attention to detail, communication and the picture you printed of Milo’s stay is now hanging on my fridge! THANK YOU for the special touches you provided. 💗”
“Jordan’s communication was top notch!!! Jordan was very attentive to my concerns and was flexible with our pick up/drop off schedule. Most importantly, I felt like Willard was in good hands for the short time we were away. Jordan sent texts and pictures of Willard and kept us updated throughout the stay. Jordan is great!! Highly recommended sitter!”
“Kim is a fantastic pet sitter who cares for my fur baby exceptionally well. She is friendly, trustworthy, and caring. This is already our third visit, and my dog has enjoyed his stay each time.”
“This was our second time having our pups stay with Toni and it went incredibly well! Such a relief to find someone that they feel comfortable with. Thank you, Toni!”
“Max and Mariah took great care of our two 9 month old pups over an entire 4-day holiday weekend. These puppies are high energy and were allowed to play in their fenced in yard to their heart’s content and adjusted well to their already busy household. I will definitely check with them first if ever needing boarding again.”
“Rose came home happy and tired. She had the best time with Chris and family. He sent lots of photos over the weekend which was very appreciated. We look forward to using their dog sitting services in the future. Thanks again for taking care of our girl!”
“This is the first time we have used this service. Holly was very friendly at our meet-and-greet...I could tell that she was an animal lover. We were still very nervous, because our Oliver is 8 months of crazy. But, Holly really treated our Oliver like he was part of her family. She sent us pictures during his stay...he seemed very happy. We highly recommend Holly and if a need ever arises again, we will definitely ask her. Thank you Holly for your compassion and patience with our little one.”
“I cannot recommend Olivia enough! I will definitely keep having her watch my boy for me. We just moved across the country and have never had our dog stay with anyone he didnt already know so we were extremely nervous, but not only was she incredibly kind and patient with the booking process, Olivia even accommodated our last minute schedule mess up and took our boy in a day early. We got pictures every single day and a text on how he was doing. Got our boy back today and its so easy to tell he had a good time. Thank you olivia!!”
“This was the first time using Rover and Alex was just a great choice. She and her family were delightful, sending me pics and keeping me posted. It was a great decision to opt for personal care rather than a kennel. She was flexible, and I would seek her services again based on the good vibes.”
“Boji had yet another great time. He's super happy and ready to sleep the night away! Definitely book with him! They are the best out there and the most flexible!!”
“Molly was so awesome to work with. Quick response, very laid back and accommodating! Made sure to slowly introduce them to the her dog and did a great job making sure everyone was safe. She even let them stay an extra night no problem!!! Will 100% book with her again.”
