“Shae was an amazing, gracious, and generous hostess. Our dog Leo had a great time staying with her and her dog. Shae gave lots of feedback throughout the process and that was a relief as it was my first time doing something like this. I highly recommend Shae.”

“Christine and Troy were absolutely wonderful with our dogs. They communicated clearly and consistently and it was obvious that they cared deeply about the comfort and safety of our dogs. They gave them heaps and love and attention and let them roam throughout their warm and welcoming home. They catered to the dogs' quirks and individual wants and needs. I would be thrilled to have Christine and Troy take care of our older dogs again.”
“Hunter was responsive, flexible when my itinerary changed, and my pup came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of! Best scenario for boarding I can think of for us. Thank you again.”

“Kathleen was amazing with our dog! She took her on a last minute booking request and responded to it very quickly. She sent pictures and updates throughout the day while she was caring for our dog. Our dog came back happy and tired and we can tell she was well cared for! We are very happy with her service and will book again if we’re in the area”
“Thanks again to Ashley and her wonderful family for taking such great care of our golden, Oliver, for his first stay away from home. We will definitely be rebooking another stay in the near future. Thanks, Geoff and Candace T.”

“Anna was great with my dog. You can tell if your dog is happy and peaceful. That’s how know besides she was friendly and caring. I’ll definitely be using Anna again to care for my dog”


“Margalina, Joshua and their daughter were wonderful caretakers of our maltipoo for two weeks. I got adorable photos every day and regular communication about all the fun he was having becoming a farm dog (lots of great exercise). This was a last minute booking but we could not have been luckier. Our dog is a very social one but also clingy to his main caretaker, and Margalina quickly because that person! We will definitely use them again and can’t recommend them highly enough.”

“Harper (a cat) is very shy and tends to hide from everyone. I adopted her about six months ago, knowing she needed special considerations, so having someone new in the house was potentially traumatic for her. Eric patiently cared for her while I was traveling and overcame her spooky tendencies. He has cared for my pets for several years and befriended a couple of difficult characters.”

About: I take care of my senior dog and have since she was a puppy. I love animals and am excited to walk and take care of those you love in your life. I'm working towards my masters and have a part time role, so I have some flexibility in my schedule. I love to break my work day up by walking my dog, and I would love to walk yours too! I care for my dog through trust and support. I walk and feed her multiple times a day, and I make sure she gets the rest she needs.

“Tara is the absolute best!!! She went above and beyond on multiple occasions for my fur babies! Her efforts and communication brought me comfort while I was away and my kitties absolutely loved her!”


About: I’ve been around and cared for animals for most of my life, and my love for pets extends far beyond dogs! I understand that cats have their own unique personalities, boundaries, routines, and ways of communicating—and earning a cat’s trust sometimes means letting them come to you on their own terms. I’m comfortable providing everyday cat care including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, companionship, and following your cat’s normal routine. I’m also happy to provide plenty of affection for social cats or give more independent and nervous cats the space they need to feel safe. I pay attention to the little things, including changes in eating, drinking, litter-box habits, behavior, and energy level. If something seems unusual while you’re away, I’ll communicate with you rather than simply assuming everything is fine. Most importantly, I want your cat to feel safe and comfortable in their own environment while you’re gone. Whether that means playing with their favorite wand toy, sitting together for cuddles, or simply keeping them company from across the room until they decide I’ve earned their approval, I’m happy to meet them where they are. 🐱❤️

“Shae set me at ease for my first Rover experience. She is calm and relaxed and that really helped my dog to settle in. She let him explore and be right at home. I feel confident that she knows exactly how to handle dogs in her care. I look forward to boarding my dog with Shae in the near future.”

“Wonderful family! So welcoming, attentive and kind to our Chevy girl! Lots of video and photo coverage of her day with them along with so much play time and walks at the park. Chevy got along so well with Marley too, which was so lovely. Will 100% use them in the future for our day care needs!”

About: Animals love me for my calm, loving demeanor. I am a good pack leader and provide a safe and fun place for your fur baby while your away. I am retired with plenty of time on my hands. It gets lonely at times so I enjoy the company of both dogs and cats. You can trust that I will take care of your fur babies the same as I do my own. They are part of the family and have rules to follow for everyone's benefit and safety.

About: Hey guys! I'm just a Midwest girl living in my Midwest world! I have the typical Veteran husband and one of our three kids still living at home! We have a 7 pound Chihuahua and two kittens who are the current rulers of the home. I bring a professional, hands-on background to every dog I care for, shaped by my experience, work in the military and training dogs across a wide range of needs. From guiding young puppies through early obedience and socialization to reinforcing structure and confidence in adult dogs, I focus on calm, consistent, and respectful handling. My approach blends proven training principles with genuine affection—clear communication, routine, and trust, paired with plenty of attention and care. On our private 20-acre property, dogs have the space to decompress, explore safely, and enjoy a peaceful environment while still receiving individualized guidance and close supervision. While we do have 20 acres that we can walk through we also have a fenced in area and GPS Fence collars for your dog to use. Depending on the training your dog has been through we can work with you to see what fits best. I am a full time mom who homeschools her kid. My husband is home part time so most of the time we are home if not pup will be crated. I have a fenced in yard and a pet safe GPS collar for the pups. So no matter what the pup will be secured. There is no gate to leave the fenced in area so to leave you have to go through the house.

About: I’ve worked with shelter dogs and have dog sat for family & friends. I have experience administering medications, consistent let out times, and dog/cat enrichment! I’m available full time! I’ll have plenty of time to walk or hike, play, and enrich your pets while I’m with them. I maintain four fish tanks and care for two cats! The cats have a catio and plenty of towers to scratch, play, and climb on.
About: I have loved and cared for many critters in my lifetime. Dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, amphibians. I love them all! We have one dog (Sawyer) and two cats (Marble and Nash). My 8 year old son and I would be the ones caring for your fur babies. My son helps me with the feeding and watering, as well as the litter box and backyard landmines. He gives the animals lots of love and cuddles. I work a lot during the week, but I would be available for any dog walking or drop-in visits before or after work during the week, depending on what we have going on that week. If you're looking for a getaway for a couple of nights, I'm available Friday nights, Saturdays and Sundays. We have a house with 4 acres of unfenced property. Any dogs that are boarded here will be walked on the property regularly for bathroom breaks and exercise. We also have a lot of trails nearby that we could walk if the weather is decent. If your dog is friendly and social, we aren't too far from Gaylord, where there is a dog park. That way, they can get some serious running in!
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I grew up on a farm and have dog sat for friends and family since I was 12. I have both experienced training a puppy of my own and also taking care of a senior dog. I like being active and outside so I would love to take you dogs for walks and play with them while you are gone. I have 1 dog of my own, she is a very energetic cane corso! I’m currently a college student so I have a very flexible schedule with 2 hours in between some of my classes. On weekdays I would mostly be available for drop in’s. To let your pets outside and play with them until I need to get back school. Fridays and weekends I am completely free. I do not have a fenced in yard. I have lots of land so I trained my dog with an invisible fence so she knows not to wonder off with a human with her. My dog does have her own room that acts as a crate.
About: I have had pets and cared for pets my entire life I have spent majority of my adult life in animal welfare such as vet clinics, rescues, boarding and daycare facilities. I have experience caring for animals of all ages and sizes such as cats, dogs, reptiles, rodents, birds, and some live stock. I also have experience with medications, behavioral issues, age and other restrictions. I have a very open flexible schedule at this moment in time. Last minute bookings are always welcome, things come up and I’m here to help. Your pet will have any thing he or she will possibly desire with me. I’m an active person and love to go out for walks but also like a good snuggle on the couch.

About: I have cared for all ages of dogs and cats. I work at a boarding kennel/ daycare and am used to cues in play when it comes to dogs. I have cleaned up after all of the messes with no issues, and can bath if needed and the animal allows it (extra fee). I can administer medications in all varieties and can comfortably handle shy and reactive dogs. I have leash walked dogs that have recently had acl repairs and can lift over 50 lbs if needed. I work 4 days at my current job from 8-5. I have three days off and can work with you as needed. I have my own car and can travel within reason. I have a fenced in backyard and space to put kennels while your dog rests. I have a three year old Australian shepherd who absolutely loves other dogs. (Shy to people). I have a gate to put up so your dog could have free rein of the living room in the evening and a camera to be able to check in on them.
