“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!”
“Kim was great with our pup. He came home very happy. Trusting someone you don’t know well with part of your family isn’t easy. But from the moment I dropped my dog off, I knew instantly he would be loved and cared for. I had no fears leaving him and would absolutely recommend Kim as a sitter/boarder. My family does a lot of traveling and I would be more than pleased to have her watch him again!”
“Sabrina and her family are fabulous. Both of my dogs enjoyed their stay. When I went to pick them up, both of my dogs were excited to see me, and the one went right back up to their porch! I'd say he loved it!”
“I could not have asked for a better care. Andrew and Morgan took very good care of Kodak and Luna. They send me picture though out the day showing how happy Kodak and Luna were. I was afraid the pups would not want to go back home with me. I hope they are available the next time I need to board Kodak and Luna.”
“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.”

“Marty is first rate. She is definitely a Star Sitter. She was great in communication, sending me texts, photos and videos of Dexter. Clearly, she took good care of him, he was in good hands. Dexter made friends and spent time outside, which he loves. One of my concerns was that Dexter got his medications, and Marty made sure he did. Without doubt, she is my choice for Dexter's lodging and daycare. She has my highest recommendation.”
“Ralph took great care of our dog, Amos, during his overnight stay. My husband handled drop-off and pick-up, and we both really appreciated how communicative Ralph was throughout the process. You can tell he genuinely has a heart for dogs. Amos was well cared for, and we’ll definitely book with Ralph again. Thank you, Ralph!”

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.
About: The second I moved out of my parent’s house I chose to get a pet cat. For the past almost 4 years we have grown so close together. I’ve learned through friends and meeting other cats, that each cat has their own VERY distinct personality and boundaries. I love to learn about each cat I meet and figure how we best mesh while we are together.

I was in town camping at bay City with my dog and friends and realized the weather was far too hot for him to be outside all day so I found Lynda last minute to take Atlas during the day when it was the hottest and she accomadated my last minute request! My Atlas can be skiddish and anxious easily and he ended up having a fantastic time I was so pleased and it was such a weight off my shoulders to know he was well taken care of!

“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!”
“Kim was great with our pup. He came home very happy. Trusting someone you don’t know well with part of your family isn’t easy. But from the moment I dropped my dog off, I knew instantly he would be loved and cared for. I had no fears leaving him and would absolutely recommend Kim as a sitter/boarder. My family does a lot of traveling and I would be more than pleased to have her watch him again!”
“Sabrina and her family are fabulous. Both of my dogs enjoyed their stay. When I went to pick them up, both of my dogs were excited to see me, and the one went right back up to their porch! I'd say he loved it!”
“I could not have asked for a better care. Andrew and Morgan took very good care of Kodak and Luna. They send me picture though out the day showing how happy Kodak and Luna were. I was afraid the pups would not want to go back home with me. I hope they are available the next time I need to board Kodak and Luna.”

“Marty is first rate. She is definitely a Star Sitter. She was great in communication, sending me texts, photos and videos of Dexter. Clearly, she took good care of him, he was in good hands. Dexter made friends and spent time outside, which he loves. One of my concerns was that Dexter got his medications, and Marty made sure he did. Without doubt, she is my choice for Dexter's lodging and daycare. She has my highest recommendation.”
“Ralph took great care of our dog, Amos, during his overnight stay. My husband handled drop-off and pick-up, and we both really appreciated how communicative Ralph was throughout the process. You can tell he genuinely has a heart for dogs. Amos was well cared for, and we’ll definitely book with Ralph again. Thank you, Ralph!”
“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.”
