Personalized care for your dog or cat - Lum
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Lum
“Chelsie took great care of my little guy, Finn. I met her before my trip and felt comfortable leaving him with her right away. You can tell she put a lot of thought and love into making her home a great place for dogs to stay. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Finn was in good hands. I'll definitely board him with Chelsie again.”
“Kristen is a 5-star sitter! As a first-time user and owner of a nervous Golden Retriever, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. They were communicative, caring, and made Katz feel comfortable immediately. Highly recommend for anyone with a “shy or anxious pup!"”
“Extremely friendly and helpful. Andrea took great care of Zia for us over a weekend. We received tons of pictures of her having lots of fun. We'll be using Andrea in the future if we need our pup boarded again.”
“Kelly was absolutely amazing with my dog!!! She sent multiple pictures, videos, and updates every day that I was gone. She was also very friendly and easy to work with. Her house was perfect for dogs with a very nice fenced in back yard. She had lots of toys and treats available, and she even had a crate to use since my dog usually sleeps in a crate at night. She asked all about allergies and how she handled being around other dogs. This was my first time ever using Rover and so I was nervous at first but I felt very comfortable leaving my puppy with her before I left. And the entire experience ended up being just perfect. I would HIGHLY recommend Kelly and will definitely be using her again!”
“Andrew and his wife always take great care of my dog. My dog is a covid pound puppy. He was born during covid and never properly socialized then dropped at the pound. He does not get along with other dogs at all and is very skittish with people. He runs right into Andrew's home like it's his own. I feel so much better knowing he's not terrified at a kennel but in a warm quiet home. Plus they send the cutest pics!”
“My boy Chauncey stayed with Dan and Clare for three nights four days. I was sent multiple forgraphs to show how he was faring including him eating and sleeping. I had a GPS collar on him which showed the amount of play time and rest time he was given. (A LOT)!! Their yard is huge and fenced. Unfortunately my dog has learning to jump over cyclone fencing the week before staying with Dan and Clare; therefore, I put his GPS collar on him. They watched my sweet naughty (sporting dog - very concentrated on looking for creatures and can lose his mind by only having those thoughts in his head ;-) ) and I could tell much attention was given to watching out for him and guaranteeing he was safe. Their three dogs - after they bark upon your arrival - are very sweet and very accepting of newcomers. I would use them again in a heart beat. I travel on the road with my dog and also spend time in Texas so it will be hit and miss when the need arrives. However, should you want a safe, clean, dog "resort" for your pup go here. Lots of new smells, critters to chase and great hosts for your four legged family member, Thank you Dan and Clare!”
“Soooo happy to have our fur baby stay with Lindsey and Justin and family! Our boy has never been so calm as he was after his stay with you guys. Thank you for caring for our boy like your own!!!”
“Rocky's home away from home was another great stay! Rocky is so relaxed with no anxiety issues. Diane you're the best and this Momma doesn't have to worry when he's in your care. Diane is my dog whisper and can follow directions. We're so happy to have found you. Until next time Auntie Diane.”
“They were great! Loved getting picture updates and seeing my 3 dogs happy and playing with their 2. Great communication and flexibility with drop off and pick ups. I can tell my dogs were well taken care of and loved!”
“I think Shivambika did a very good job with my 7 lb. Yorkshire Terrier. She learned about and respected some of his breed’s idiosyncrasies. She took him into her yard, on a leash, & to a nearby trail. No doubt he loved that. It was my fault that he had to be exposed to another dog for his last 3 days, as I initially got my return date wrong . But he dealt with that pretty well, it seems.”
“I have never boarded one of my two dogs, and I'm glad the first time was with Greta. She was accommodating and let my boys on the couch, which really made me feel like she was welcoming them into her home. I would definitely use her again.”
“This was one of the best experiences I have had while using rover. She regularly sent updates and pictures which was great to see. Her and her family took wonderful care of my dog, taking him on many walks, playing, and just relaxing. I cannot put into words how much peace of mind it provided and how sweet it was that they cared for my senior dog in all the perfect ways. Thank you so much!”
“Lia, Jonathan and their entire family are amazing! This was the first time I have used Rover, so I was very nervous. Jonathan and Lia sent updates, photos and videos throughout the day. They put my mind at ease and I was able to have a wonderful vacation. I think my sweet girl misses them, but we already booked her next two stays with them!”
“Annmarie is a literal dog whisperer & GEM! Brings in my rambunctious boy, sometimes with very short notice, and calms him with her pure existence! Thank you, Annmarie! Oakley loves being with you and his friends, and we appreciate the love and patience you show him!”
“Our dog Teddy had a very nice stay with Paula. He especially liked Paula from the beginning. Paula is very attentive and caring . We will definitely employ her for our next vacation.”
“Amazing care for my Tito and highly recommend for any future care for your pets! She and her family made me and my family feel very comfortable and trusting for the safety and caring of our Tito in their home! I am very thankful! She will always be my go to for future stays!”
“Mayrannie was great with my dog and took great care of my boy. She sent me pictures every day so my kids and I, we could see how he was doing. She was also very accommodating with drop off and pick up times.”
“Daphne cared for my dog overnight. He a is very active Belgian Malinois. She was aware of the malinois personality & breed specific needs. It helped me also in choosing care for my dog that she listened to his specific needs & she is a dog trainer. She is very accommodating. I will be boarding him again in the future.”
“Jamie and her husband have watched our Magd twice now and wouldn’t want anyone else watching her. She is so attentive and absolutely adores our puppy. Thanks so much for being the best dog sitter ever!!!!”

Cat caregivers near you - Lum
About: I am a stay at home mom with 2 school - aged boys. My kids love dogs almost as much as I do and are very good at helping out with them. I have been a dog owner for 30+ years and our dogs have always been treated like family, including having their own Christmas stockings. We adopted our sweet senior rottie mix, Roary, back in 2023 and our indoor/outdoor kitten, Biscuit, in 2025. I will only care for dogs in my home that get along with children, dogs, and cats so everyone will feel comfortable. If your dog plays well with others, (s)he will be treated as family! I work from home, so I spend the majority of my day at home. Your pet will not be alone for long, if at all. We live on 3 acres and while we don’t have a fenced yard, your pet will spend plenty of time outside (on a leash) and be walked around the yard every few hours. I currently work from home. I will be able to take your pet for multiple walks daily and attend to their needs consistently. Even though I work from home, my time is important. Last minute requests will have a $25 charge added to the booking. I do not have a fenced yard, but I have a good amount of property and will walk your pup throughout the day. If they need more exercise, I do have a long lead I can put them on to play fetch or just run around. I do not allow the pups to be outside unsupervised or unleashed at any time.
About: I've always had house and farm pets, from cats, dogs, birds, chinchillas to goats, sheep, llamas and horses, and more. Love them all. Plants too! I'm currently available after 10am week days, and usually anytime weekends. I'm generally very flexible if I know ahead of time when I'm going to be needed. I'm able to take care of your pets in your home as well as walk them in your neighborhood. Whatever makes them a happy critter!
About: I’ve owned a cat most of my life. My cat is a long haired black cat. He’s 12 years old and disabled. I love all kinds of cats. I’ve had lots of pet sitting experience with cats of all ages. I have no problem cleaning litter boxes. Just know you cat will get lots of lovin’
“This was my first time leaving my cats, and I was so relieved to find Mckenzie. So grateful to her for her awesome cat sitting! She was extremely friendly and eager to bond with my cats to make them as comfortable as possible while we were gone. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates, which I really enjoyed. She also left the house spotless. Thanks again McKenzie, I’m sure we will be contacting you again!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats of every kind since I was 10 — from barn cats that need food, space, and a watchful eye, to a rescue house cat I raised and cared for until he passed when I was 17. I’ve also helped neighbors, friends, and family by checking in on their cats, feeding them, scooping litter, giving them attention (when they want it), and making sure they’re safe and comfortable. I understand that every cat has their own personality, quirks, and boundaries — and I respect that. Whether it’s a shy indoor kitty or a rough-and-tumble barn cat, I’m here to give them the care they need.
About: I’ve always had a strong love for animals and experience caring for pets with different personalities, sizes, and needs. I currently own a German Shepherd/Poodle mix and a Maltese/Yorkie, so I’m very comfortable handling both high-energy dogs and smaller breeds that need extra attention and care. Caring for my own dogs has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and making pets feel safe and comfortable. What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like family. I understand that every animal has their own routine, personality, and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure they feel loved and cared for while their owners are away. I’m experienced in walking, feeding on schedule, providing playtime, administering basic care, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’m also comfortable with puppies that need extra patience and energy, as well as with older dogs that may need a calmer, gentler approach. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time caring for my own dogs. I’m used to maintaining feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get the attention and care they need throughout the day. Since I’m organized and good at managing my time, I’m flexible and dependable for drop-in visits or walks during the week! I enjoy staying active, so taking dogs on walks or spending time playing with them is something I genuinely enjoy. Whether it’s sticking to a pet’s normal routine or giving extra attention when needed, I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand how important routines are for pets, so I make sure to follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I also pay close attention to a pet’s behavior and comfort level to help reduce stress while their owner is away. I have experience caring for both large and small dogs through my own pets, a German Shepherd/Poodle mix and a Maltese/Yorkie, so I’m comfortable handling different energy levels and personalities. I keep environments clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and I always prioritize safety during walks, outdoor time, and interactions. My goal is to make every pet feel at home and give owners peace of mind, knowing their pets are in caring, dependable hands.
“Alyssa is truly a kind and genuine individual and you can tell just by meeting her and speaking with her that she really cares for animals. My dogs really like her and I feel so much more at ease knowing they are being checked on by someone who will really make sure they are okay. Having Alyssa to check on my little fluff balls makes me feel lucky this service exists. I know it has really helped my pets to feel more calm while I’m at work. Thank you, Alyssa!!!”
About: My distinct edge as a pet sitter lies in my specialized experience, from expertly tuckering your cat out to ensuring pristine litter boxes. Passionate about your pet's well-being, I go the extra mile for a tailored and caring approach.
About: I have loved animals from a very young age, convincing my parents to get me my own dog when I was 10 years old. Her name was Zoey! I trained her myself, and she was my best friend. Not long after that, I began dog sitting for friends and eventually also spent time cat sitting and taking care of animals like chickens and bunnies. I adore pets of all shapes and sizes, and I understand entirely the immense value they have in our lives. I want nothing more than to make you feel safe allowing me to care for your best friends. I am occupied from 8am to 6pm Monday through Friday, but I am free most weekends and available to care for pets in the evenings. I make sure all animals are well fed and watered as fits their schedule. Also, I understand the importance of activity and quality time and make sure to play with them, take them on regular walks, and give them lots of love.

I’m a full time working mom but I have extra time in the evenings and weekends to care for your furry friends! Available for weekend boarding. Available every other weekend for over night stays in your home. My yard is not fenced but I do have a picket line for the pups or I can take them out on a leash, whatever you prefer.

About: I'm Camilla, the heart behind Wags and Joy Pet Care. I've spent my life surrounded by animals, and turning that love into a profession has been the most natural step in the world. Over the past years, I have had four cats, from kittens to seniors. I'm good at cuddles and petting :) I love animals, and will love your kitties too. I have experience with senior cats. I have experience with senior dogs, and can administer injections and oral treatments. I am certified by the American Red Cross in Cat and Dog First Aid, and carry a pet first aid kit while I care for your cat. I am insured. I'm committed to treating your cat the way I treat my own, like family - from energetic adventurers to gentle seniors, I tailor every visit to who your cat actually is.
“Carly is FABULOUS! She always leaves a detailed summary of her visits- which is huge with my senior dog and keeping track of bowel habits and tinkles. Carly walks with my girl in the yard and takes time for lots of pets. Carly pays attention to and adjusts for my dogs significant loss of hearing to avoid startling. If I could give her 10 stars I would.”

“Louie had a great first day with Kerry! She is wonderful and her home is beautiful and pet-friendly. She understands Lou’s needs as a puppy and made time for lots of walks and play time to tire him out! She kept in very close communication with us and sent cute pictures of Louie all day. She is incredibly loving towards Louie and made us feel very comfortable leaving him in her care. We trust her implicitly and appreciate how flexible she is with late pickup times. We will continue to use her as needed for daycare! Thank you so much Kerry!!!”
“Silver is just FABULOUS!!!! Our anxious Aussies took to her "pack" in a short period of time and were playing and socializing beautifully. Their first time with her went way better then I could've even imagined, so much so, I booked her again for an overnight. Silver is an absolute pro. She understands limits and makes sure to handle doggie introductions slowly and carefully, with confidence and awareness. 5 stars!”
About: My name is Mackenzie P., my fiancé and I are located in Lapeer and both work full time from home, our house offers a fully fenced in backyard. We have always been dog & cat people, we have two dogs (shelties) and a cat of our own. Thank you so much for your consideration and I hope to hear from you soon! I do work full time but on a flex schedule - this means I can be available at the time of day you need assistance! I would care for a clients pet as my own - this includes the love and respect I would give my own pet! For example, making sure the dog is comfortable and not stressed on a walk.
About: My journey in dog care began at a board and train facility, where I had the privilege of working closely with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I've gained invaluable experience in understanding and meeting the unique needs of each dog under my care. Whether it's administering medication, following dietary guidelines, or simply providing plenty of belly rubs, I pride myself on going above and beyond to ensure the well-being and happiness of every dog I encounter. I am currently a stay at home mom. I am home most days with my both of my children (4yrs & 1.5 yrs) and our dog. As a dog parent myself, I understand the bond that forms between humans and their furry friends, and I strive to provide the same level of care and devotion to every dog in my care.
“I’m so happy I found Andrea and Tyler! They’re both so kind and welcoming, and it’s clear they really love dogs. They took the time to carefully introduce my 100-pound lab, Amos, to their two sweet, easygoing pups, which put me at ease since he hasn’t had a lot of experience around other dogs. I really appreciated how tuned in they were to his needs - making sure he got breaks and some solo time with them when he needed it. That kind of care means so much. I’m looking forward to having Amos spend time with them in the future - they’ve already been such a supportive part of his socialization journey!”
“Trish was so good with our puppy! She worked with him throughout the day and took him to the park. It was such a relief knowing he was with someone who truly cares when we couldn't be with him. I also love that I have another option for Khyron on those extra busy days! I would definitely recommend Trish to take care of your fur baby!”
About: I love pets and handle almost any type of temperament :) Living in the Del Ray area, I've had many opportunities to interact with different breeds and I've never had a dog I couldn't taken care of. I guess it's a natural ability for me and I'm looking forward to meeting your pets as well! So what are you waiting for? Let's schedule a meet and greet! I'm available on most weekends and can provide most services that Rover has to offer so feel free to send me message and we can find a time that's right to meet up. There's also a discount for Del Ray residences so don't forget to ask about that ;) Looking forward to meeting you and your lovely pets!
About: I offer a boutique, low-volume dog care experience designed for dogs who thrive in a calmer, more personal environment. With 15+ years of experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels—including high-energy breeds like huskies. My setup is intentionally small (only a few dogs at a time) so each dog gets individual attention, structured play, and a stress-free environment—nothing like overcrowded daycare facilities. Dogs in my care enjoy: • Supervised indoor & outdoor time • Daily walks and structured play • A cozy, home-style environment • Optional fresh, homemade meals • Consistent routines to reduce anxiety I focus heavily on reading dog behavior and creating a balanced, safe group dynamic. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or needs a slower pace, I tailor care to them. This is ideal for owners looking for something more intentional, calm, and personalized for their dog—not a chaotic daycare setting. I offer flexible scheduling for daycare and boarding with a consistent daily routine to keep dogs comfortable. Because I keep my numbers low, each dog gets plenty of attention, structured playtime, and rest throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, with drop-off and pick-up times arranged to keep transitions calm and stress-free. Dogs in my care are kept in a safe, structured, low-volume environment designed to reduce stress and overstimulation. I carefully manage group dynamics and only accept a small number of dogs to ensure compatibility. Pets are always supervised during play, with designated rest areas for downtime. I can accommodate crate routines if needed and follow each dog’s normal schedule as closely as possible. Cleanliness, safety, and a calm atmosphere are always my top priorities.
“As always, my dogs loved their stay with AnnMarie! They returned home happy & sleepy after a full day of fun. Thank you, AnnMarie, for loving my dogs like your own :)”

About: I have 21 years of comfortability around pets (since I was born) and 3 years of professional pet sitting experience with both dogs & cats :). I have experience with senior pets & puppies! I have a part time job but my shifts are usually less than 8 hours. **if your pet cannot be left alone for 6-8 hours please give me at least 3 weeks of notice so I can make sure my work schedule is aligned to their needs.** I treat my pets with love, care, and as a part of my family! I would do the same with your pets to make them feel as safe and at home as possible.

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and a natural instinct for taking care of them. I’ve pet sat my uncle’s dog several times, making sure they were walked, fed, and felt at home while he was away. I also watched over my parents’ Great Dane for a full week while they were on their anniversary trip — managing meals, walks, and plenty of cuddle time with a 150-pound gentle giant. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a chill senior dog, I treat every pet with patience, care, and respect. You can count on me to show up, follow instructions, and make your pet feel safe and loved. I'm currently searching for employment, so I'm available anytime. Seeking to make some money on the side while job hunting. What better way than to do what i love - spend time with animals I have a fully fenced backyard on a 23-acre property, and three friendly dogs who love meeting new buddies. Your pet will have space to play and relax safely. I can easily crate your dog if needed, follow any feeding or medication instructions, and always make sure your fur baby feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re part of the pack.

About: I’ve had experience with dogs my whole life. Growing up, my family bred Australian shepherds. I’ve owned small dogs like a Chihuahua and big dogs like Great Pyrenees. I’ve had experience with just about every breed of dog. I’m a pitbull lover as I currently own one. I love taking walks and giving lots of cuddles! I currently work full time in a school so I get plenty of time off including holiday breaks and summer hours. I only work 7 hours a day Monday-Friday. So I’m available for overnight care.

About: My name is Lou, and I'm an aspiring beekeeper / amateur naturalist. I love all critters, big and small, and have a talent for effective care. I grew up around dogs, cats, and rabbits. In my recent adult life, I cared for a geriatric black cat (Jellybean) who quickly became my best friend. I miss that grumpy furball with all my heart (he has since passed). I currently help my mom care for her big ball of energy bernedoodle (Floyd). He has taught me that training a puppy takes consistency, compassion, and adaptability. We love going on walks at our local park! I have house-, cat-, dog-, chicken-, horse-, and garden-sat for many friends and colleagues, and would love to assist you with whoever you love — be they furred, scaled, winged, or environmental! We all need extra help sometimes. I'd be happy to provide care for your pet(s), so you can focus on what you need to and live the life you want, and come home to a happy healthy critter companion. My schedule is highly flexible. I prefer to work with your pet(s) during the day, but am open to evening check-in visits as well. Not currently doing overnight visits. With a little context from yourself about their routines, I will do everything in my power to make sure your pal is comfortable and happy.

About: Hi, I'm Camilla, the heart behind Wags and Joy Pet Care.Over the years, I've spent my life surrounded by animals, and turning that love into a profession has been the most natural step in the world. I've been a pet mom to a German Shepherd Dog, two Australian Cattle Dogs and four cats. I loved them all very much, and took very good care of them. I welcome the opportunity to get to know your dog, and shower them with love and affection. I like to walk, to play, and to cuddle. I have experience with senior dogs, and can administer injections and oral treatments. I have passed a Background Check and an Identity Verification. I am certified by the American Red Cross in Cat and Dog First Aid, and carry a pet first aid kit while I care for your dog. I am insured. I'm committed to treating your pup the way I treat my own, like family - from energetic adventurers to gentle seniors, I tailor every visit to who your dog actually is. I'm a full-time pet care provider, which means I'm available 7 days a week, from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.. I'm available with one day's notice for established customers for a walk or drop-in visit. For new families, we need to allow a day or two for a complementary "meet and greet," and then if I'm a good fit for your pet, we can schedule walks and visits. I will settle in with your fur baby, and learn the lay of the land in the house and yard if we are at your house. We'll have some treats (if appropriate) and go out for potty, walk, and play. Then we'll rest and cuddle. Then we'll play some more!
About: I have been a part time dog sitter, cat sitter, house sitter, etc since I was 10 years old. I've also been a volunteer at my local animal shelter since I was 15. I've taken care of old dogs, young dogs, energetic dogs, couch potato dogs, friendly dogs, shy dogs, big dogs, small dogs, you name it. I've been doing this a long time and I've gotten really good understanding each pet and their individual needs. Every dog is different, and I love them all. I also have experience with dogs who need medications and ear drops, and I am Red Cross certified in Pet First Aid! I provide pet care full time, helping owners have peace of mind when they have to leave their buddies behind for a trip, or to go to work, it makes me happy knowing I can help out people and animals who could use an extra set of hands. I have an active personal life, always making plans friends and family, but offering services on here allows me to plan my leisure time around times I'm needed for pet care. Firstly, I want to say I understand meeting people online and inviting them into your home can be very anxiety inducing, and I want to reassure you that with me, your pet, your house, and your belongings are safe. If you have ANY questions or concerns, please let me know. I'm here to help answer anything that could cause you worry. Your pets are part of the family and I understand staying safe is a priority. When I personally am trusted to stay in someone's home, I usually stick around the same area of the house out of habit. I keep food where it belongs to prevent mishaps, and keep things off the floor to prevent injuries of their me or pets. When going for walks I like to stick to trails or sidewalked areas that have decent cell reception, just in case. I keep treats with me, extra bags, and have a phone holder for my wrist so I can have a hand free, especially for dogs who get excited from wildlife and could suddenly pull really hard anytime. I keep a pop up bowl and a bottle for water breaks. Before going for longer walks I touch test the path in case they are too hot. I also have experience putting jackets on dogs in the colder months.
About: I was grew up on a farm and have spent most of my life with animals. I worked at a local vet clinic in high school, trained horses and I have worked in rescue. My family always had at least one dog for as long as I can remember. I got my first Border Collie, Dexter, when I was thirteen. Dex and I did everything together and he's the one who made me fall in love with Border Collies and all things dog related. I have been training, showing and breeding for nearly 23 years. The dogs I have now are involved in disc, agility, dock diving, obedience and herding. I enjoy all animals but dogs and horses will always have a special place in my heart because so much of my life has been spent with them. My hours are generally very flexible and I am available whenever best suits you and your pets needs. Most of free time is spent with my dogs or with clients. I'm not watching pets at my home right now because my oldest dog doesn't like strangers and I don't want to upset him if I don't have to. *Currently rewriting my profile please excuse the chaos*

“Chelsie took great care of my little guy, Finn. I met her before my trip and felt comfortable leaving him with her right away. You can tell she put a lot of thought and love into making her home a great place for dogs to stay. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Finn was in good hands. I'll definitely board him with Chelsie again.”
“Kristen is a 5-star sitter! As a first-time user and owner of a nervous Golden Retriever, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. They were communicative, caring, and made Katz feel comfortable immediately. Highly recommend for anyone with a “shy or anxious pup!"”
“Extremely friendly and helpful. Andrea took great care of Zia for us over a weekend. We received tons of pictures of her having lots of fun. We'll be using Andrea in the future if we need our pup boarded again.”
“Kelly was absolutely amazing with my dog!!! She sent multiple pictures, videos, and updates every day that I was gone. She was also very friendly and easy to work with. Her house was perfect for dogs with a very nice fenced in back yard. She had lots of toys and treats available, and she even had a crate to use since my dog usually sleeps in a crate at night. She asked all about allergies and how she handled being around other dogs. This was my first time ever using Rover and so I was nervous at first but I felt very comfortable leaving my puppy with her before I left. And the entire experience ended up being just perfect. I would HIGHLY recommend Kelly and will definitely be using her again!”
“Andrew and his wife always take great care of my dog. My dog is a covid pound puppy. He was born during covid and never properly socialized then dropped at the pound. He does not get along with other dogs at all and is very skittish with people. He runs right into Andrew's home like it's his own. I feel so much better knowing he's not terrified at a kennel but in a warm quiet home. Plus they send the cutest pics!”
“My boy Chauncey stayed with Dan and Clare for three nights four days. I was sent multiple forgraphs to show how he was faring including him eating and sleeping. I had a GPS collar on him which showed the amount of play time and rest time he was given. (A LOT)!! Their yard is huge and fenced. Unfortunately my dog has learning to jump over cyclone fencing the week before staying with Dan and Clare; therefore, I put his GPS collar on him. They watched my sweet naughty (sporting dog - very concentrated on looking for creatures and can lose his mind by only having those thoughts in his head ;-) ) and I could tell much attention was given to watching out for him and guaranteeing he was safe. Their three dogs - after they bark upon your arrival - are very sweet and very accepting of newcomers. I would use them again in a heart beat. I travel on the road with my dog and also spend time in Texas so it will be hit and miss when the need arrives. However, should you want a safe, clean, dog "resort" for your pup go here. Lots of new smells, critters to chase and great hosts for your four legged family member, Thank you Dan and Clare!”
“Soooo happy to have our fur baby stay with Lindsey and Justin and family! Our boy has never been so calm as he was after his stay with you guys. Thank you for caring for our boy like your own!!!”
“Rocky's home away from home was another great stay! Rocky is so relaxed with no anxiety issues. Diane you're the best and this Momma doesn't have to worry when he's in your care. Diane is my dog whisper and can follow directions. We're so happy to have found you. Until next time Auntie Diane.”
“They were great! Loved getting picture updates and seeing my 3 dogs happy and playing with their 2. Great communication and flexibility with drop off and pick ups. I can tell my dogs were well taken care of and loved!”
“This was one of the best experiences I have had while using rover. She regularly sent updates and pictures which was great to see. Her and her family took wonderful care of my dog, taking him on many walks, playing, and just relaxing. I cannot put into words how much peace of mind it provided and how sweet it was that they cared for my senior dog in all the perfect ways. Thank you so much!”
“Lia, Jonathan and their entire family are amazing! This was the first time I have used Rover, so I was very nervous. Jonathan and Lia sent updates, photos and videos throughout the day. They put my mind at ease and I was able to have a wonderful vacation. I think my sweet girl misses them, but we already booked her next two stays with them!”
“Our dog Teddy had a very nice stay with Paula. He especially liked Paula from the beginning. Paula is very attentive and caring . We will definitely employ her for our next vacation.”
“Amazing care for my Tito and highly recommend for any future care for your pets! She and her family made me and my family feel very comfortable and trusting for the safety and caring of our Tito in their home! I am very thankful! She will always be my go to for future stays!”
“Mayrannie was great with my dog and took great care of my boy. She sent me pictures every day so my kids and I, we could see how he was doing. She was also very accommodating with drop off and pick up times.”
“Daphne cared for my dog overnight. He a is very active Belgian Malinois. She was aware of the malinois personality & breed specific needs. It helped me also in choosing care for my dog that she listened to his specific needs & she is a dog trainer. She is very accommodating. I will be boarding him again in the future.”
“Can’t thank Cheri enough for taking such good care of Denali while we were out of town! She provided frequent updates and spoiled Denali with lots of playtime. It is nice to have someone you can trust with your pets while away. Will most definitely use Cheri again!”
“First time using Silver for dog boarding and she & her team are awesome! Hal got to play with other dogs, I was given updates and photos and Hal looked so happy! A very organized drop off & pick up!! Not to mention, he is dog tired today. I will definitely be back! Thank you!”
