“This was my first experience with River, and I couldn’t have been happier with this provider. Princesa provided a loving, caring experience for our Molly. I could tell our dog loved her visit! Thank you!!!”
“Katie was so perfect for our elderly and needy dog who needs a lot of attention. She was quick to communicate and let me know how he was doing. I'll definitely use her again. I'm so happy I found her.”
“Extremely considerate and sent me updates and pictures of my cat! Consistently responded on time and made accommodations for my schedule change. Top tier cat boarders thanks again Elizabeth and Erik!”
“Michelle took excellent care of Truman. She provided daily updates with pictures. She was communicative and very professional. Truman was happy and well cared for while we were away. No doubt he enjoyed all of the walks and snuggles Michelle provided. We’d book again with Michelle with zero hesitation!”
“Suki's first time with Lisa could not have been better! Lisa and her family were flexible and accommodating of our evolving schedule and took extra time to meet with us the day before to get everyone comfortable. Suki seemed right at home and was a very happy pup when we picked her up. We look forward to working with Lisa again!”
“Anna gave exceptional care for our 2 large Goldens! I received daily updates and photos of my happy and comfortable boys !!This was not their first stay with Anna as she is the only sitter I use!! We all love her!!”
“We had an excellent experience with Cait and Tim! Our pup didn’t have good manners when meeting their family dog but they didn’t seem to be worried. He eventually settled in and he had a great time for his overnight. He was so tired the following day from all the activity at their house. We’d never used a service like this before. We would recommend them 100%!”
“Patricia and Patrick were so amazing! They logged on my dog and treated him like their own! They were great at communicating before and during the visit! They send a few updates and pictures which gave me comfort he was being so well taken care of. I highly recommend Patricia and Patrick and will most definitely be booking with them again!”
“The care and understanding of our dog and helping her acclimate to their home was outstanding in every way. Was given time to be a part of the family and enjoy being part of their 'pack'. The messages and images helped us know about how she was doing during her stay. She would go back in an instant.”
“Would absolutely recommend Kaitlyn! She took fantastic care of our Bernedoodle while we were away, and we loved the daily updates. Booking, communication and pickup and drop off were super easy. Thanks for taking great care of our pup!”
“Alex was great with my nervous guy. We’ve boarded him in the past and he always seemed to be anxious and have trouble eating. He settled in quickly with Alex. I think being in a home environment was more like his everyday routine.”
“Thanks for taking care of Stella and Walter like they were your own. I feel so comfortable leaving them with you guys. They love playing in your back yard and chasing squirrels. You are our go to for taking care of our babies!!”
“I was very impressed Marie and Mark. When we first went to meet them, Marie took Luna off her leash so she could explore the house. Luna jumped up on the couch to be next to them. They did not care and just petted her. The pics the sent was Luna going on walks and curled up next to them. I felt very comfortable Luna was just fine. Will use, for sure, again.”
“We never worry when Suki is with Abbie and her wonderful family! She is always loved and well taken care of. We get great pictures and updates along the way and flexibility with pick up and drop off times.”
“Our Boon loved being at Talisha’s, especially with his buddy Jack! Finally a dog his size to play with. I can already tell he misses him. Open communication and pictures from Talisha was the best. We love seeing Boon having fun! The Rae-Pederson Family”
“This is our first time using Rover and it could not have gone better! Brock and Laura were so nice, understanding, and supportive. We got multiple updates to reassure us, the dogs got so many walks - rain or shine. I will definitely be using them again!!!”

She even watered my struggling plants 😂 overall a great experience, will continue to have Denise visit in the future. Thanks for everything!!”

“Nicole has watched all of our pets multiple times now, she's so reliable and an excellent communicator. Could not recommend Nicole more, I promise you won't be disappointed when working with her”
“Izabella was very communicative while she pet sit our two cats over a long weekend. She sent photos and gave updates on how they were doing each visit. She even did an extra visit during the day once since she was so close to us! While staying overnight in our home, she was very respectful and left it just as clean as she found it! Would definitely hire her again.”
“Rory exceeded every expectation I could have had while cat sitting. I am an over-protective cat mom and didn’t worry, not even once about my babies. He went above and beyond- I couldn’t have asked for more or better. I absolutely, 100% recommend Rory- u will not be disappointed.”
About: We grew up with pets and we have a pet loving family. We have a German wirehair pointer dog, cat and raise rabbits for showing. We also volunteer at a local goat farm and help take care of goats. I work full time out of the home, Monday-Friday, so your dog will be kenneled while we are at work. Unless it’s summer or holiday then my schedule may be different. I will do morning walks and night walks and playtime outside after and before work. We have an unfenced large yard so your pet will be leashed for playtime. We have a nice larger private backyard so plenty of space for exercise.
About: I have spent my whole life with dogs, caring for our family dogs over the years and dog sitting for friends. I enjoy going on long walks and would love to have a buddy join me, big or small. I’m a graduate student and tend to be available either before 9am or after 5pm. I spend a good amount of time working from my apartment but sometimes have to unexpectedly run into the lab. I’m typically more free during the days on the weekend. I live in an apartment, and will not be able to host dogs here. the apartment is dog friendly so there is a chance i could bring a dog over temporarily, but not overnight. (though I wish i could!)
“Gaolah was wonderful. She did a meet and greet without hesitation. I have a 15 year old dog that can’t stay in her crate for extended time so Faolah came two different times and let her out to potty stretch her legs get a drink and some food. She communicated well, did as I asked, good with Crickett. I will cerise her again!”
About: I've had more than 2 dogs in my home my entire life, from 8 week old puppies to seniors. I have experience giving the dogs medicine when they need it.

“Princesa and Bradley took excellent care of our precious Barney. Lots of walk and exercise and fun! So nice to get all the pictures during his time with them.”
“Cate and Tim are awesome! They agreed to a quick meet and greet the day before watching Riley so when I dropped her off for the day she was right at home at their place. Riley made herself right at home and had lots of fun with the end result being a happy worn out pup. I got updatesnduring the day and great pictures of Riley that I could see that she was having a good time. I would definitely habe Cate and Tim watch Riley whenever I'm back in the area and need a sitter!”
“We dropped Agnes off with Emily today for some Doggy Daycare. This was our first foray into using Rover and wanted to be sure that Aggie was happy and as a good fit for Emily before boarding her with Emily next week. Agnes had the very best time! Emily kept us in the loop during the day on Agnes’ exploits. We had been nervous about trying to find someone that would care for her as she has a lot of energy can sometimes be nervous around new people and surroundings. She was up in her seat as we drove up to Emily’s house and was excited to play. After a full day of fun, she is exhausted. Emily is so caring and devoted to all the dogs she cares for and it is so great that we were able to find her. We look forward to many more fun filled days for Agnes in the future with Emily. Thank you Em!”
“We are so grateful to have found Autumn and had the opportunity for Lucy to spend the day with her and Nala while we were gone. Autumn is highly responsive to messages and receptive to Lucy’s needs as a senior dog. We arranged a meet and greet prior and Autumn made Lucy comfortable and was flexible with us on the day of her daycare stay. Thank you Autumn and Nala!”
“Our dog loves boarding with Pat and Pat. Today, we did the doggy day care — worked great. Our dog ran into their house when Pat opened the door - and now is sleeping like a baby, instead of coming home to a wound up dog who has been cooped up all day. 😊”
About: I’ve taken care of puppies, elderly dogs & just about everything inbetween. Currently pet free & enjoy meeting new furry friends. Enjoy long walks & pampering pets. I’m newly retired & have time to spare. Pet care keeps me active & entertained. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality & teaching them new tricks. I live near a walking path that allows for long dog walks & lots of fresh air. I have pet sit in others’ homes for years & have references as needed. It’s whatever works best for your furry friends.
“Russell and Linda took our dog on short notice. They were a big help. They have a lovely fenced yard and safe protocols in place. He was happy and safe when we picked him up.”
“Ellen’s wonderful my puppy got to meet her daughter,son,and their dog ❤️🐾. She took really great care of my puppy Vince for the day. I highly recommend her. I had a wonderful first day of work knowing that my puppy was in the best care for the day.”
About: My husband and I have raised 4 “rescued” dogs and one purebred during our 18 years together. We loved them all unconditionally and enjoyed all the time we had with them. We each had dogs in our prior 30 years of childhood and raising children. They were all amazing pets and we loved them as family. We had great friends who were able to take care of our dogs when we needed to go away and we are so thankful for that. I was never able to consider putting ours in a kennel. NOTE: I am very sorry to note that I have allergies so we can only accept hypoallergenic dogs for care in our home. So sorry, we love them all, but I am unable to care for other breeds in our home. If you are unsure about allergies, we could do a meet and greet to figure it out.. We dont miss an opportunity to say hello to a dog passing by on the sidewalk, admire from a distance as we’re waiting at a stoplight or any public place. Caring for your special fur-baby will be my privilege. My motivation is purely related to having dogs around to love and care for. I cannot wait to love, care for and protect your special family member! I will be glad to share pictures and updates with you to put you at ease while you are away. We know how important it is when you entrust your family member to others. For first time stays and especially long term stays, we would welcome an initial visit to meet your special family member and let you see the surroundings where your pet will be cared for. I work from home Monday-Friday. I am an early riser on the weekends as well. My husband and I are available all days of the week to care for dogs. We love to have dogs on our lap or at our side. We cannot wait to meet yours and care for yours. I do not have any pets in the home and we will lovingly be with your pet at all times, including while we take them outside for a walk or potty breaks. I want to hear all about your pets daily activities and things that are important to you and your dog in their daily living. We understand the importance of dietary needs specific to each animal and will absolutely honor your requests specific to daily food plans and treats.
“Anna is fabulous! We have a new puppy and she has watched him all week for us while we are at work! She makes sure he gets playtime with her dogs and naps in too! She sends lots of updates and pictures throughout the day, which we love! She has done great with helping his potty training and keeping us informed with his rover card each day!”
“Luke & Aria (your sweet Doberman) thanks for providing a great afternoon for GiGi! I appreciate that they could play so well together in your fenced yard, that she had a lot of water and potty breaks and that you gave very good supervision. It was so nice to hear that you would love to take care of her again, to read your nice comments and that you provided cuddle time. You live in such a convenient location near a highway exit and other Rover clients could get a lot of errands done close to your home. We will call again.”
About: Dogs have been an important part of my life for many years. I currently own an 8-year-old Siberian Husky named Storm, so I have extensive experience caring for large, energetic dogs and understanding their exercise needs. We have a large, fully fenced private backyard where dogs can safely play and explore. My family provides a loving, structured home environment, and dogs receive plenty of attention and care throughout the day. We also have two young children, so we only accept dogs that are friendly, gentle, and comfortable around kids. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and at home while their owners are away. Pet care is already a consistent part of my daily routine. I am a stay-at-home mom to two children, so I am home throughout the day and able to provide attention, care, and supervision for pets. Each day, we go on at least one longer walk with our dog, in addition to shorter potty breaks and outdoor time as needed. These walks are a regular part of our schedule and help ensure our 8-year-old Siberian Husky gets the exercise and stimulation he needs. We also spend time in our large fenced-in backyard, which gives additional safe space for activity and play. Because I’m home during the day, I’m able to be flexible and responsive to a dog’s needs—whether that’s extra potty breaks, attention, or adjusting activity based on energy level or weather. Overall, pet care fits very naturally into our household rhythm and is already an important part of our daily family routine. We start the day with feeding, potty breaks, and a walk, and we typically do at least one longer walk each day to make sure our dog gets enough exercise and mental stimulation. Since we have an 8-year-old Siberian Husky, we’re very familiar with meeting the needs of high-energy dogs and making sure they stay active and engaged. Throughout the day, pets are part of our home environment. Because I am a stay-at-home mom to two young children, I’m home and available to provide regular supervision, attention, and outdoor breaks as needed. We also have a large fenced-in backyard, which allows for safe outdoor play and extra exercise time. In the evenings, we maintain a calm routine with another potty break, feeding, and time spent relaxing together as a family. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, well-exercised, and integrated into a structured but flexible household where they are treated like part of the family.
“Brianna has been such a huge blessing for our family and for our pup, Vince. He absolutely loves going to her house – her kids are so sweet with him and he’s become part of the little pack with her dogs. You can tell she really understands dogs and manages the energy in her home so everyone feels safe and included. I always feel confident dropping him off because I know he’s supervised, loved on, and genuinely having fun. We’re really thankful to have found someone we can trust with our boy during long work days and trips. Highly recommend Brianna if you want your dog to have a second home.”
About: Hi! My name is Bri and I am a stay at home momma who can’t wait to have pawsome adventures with your pups! 😊🐶 I have experience in feeding, grooming, walking, administering medication, and ensuring a safe environment for dogs since childhood. This began with my family dogs, which taught me the importance of love and patience with our furry family members, and this mentality has continued into my adult life with my own pups! I am a stay at home momma so I have a lot of availability and flexibility all week long for boarding, daycare, check ins, etc.! I am available for pick up/drop offs between 7am-7pm I have a large yard with a friendly fur baby of my own to keep your pet company! I also have endless tough chewer toys to keep your pup’s tail wagging!
“She responded immediately to our last-minute request to take our dog for the day. She let us know what to expect and how she would feed Aggie. She was willing to keep her even longer than I requested, since we weren't sure when we would be back. She even offered to walk her out to the car under an umbrella during the storm! Aggie came back to us happy and tired out. I'm so glad we booked with Elizabeth W!”
About: I’ve had pets in my life since I was a child. When married and had kids, we’ve always had dogs and have cared for our dogs in every aspect, walking, bathing, grooming, vet care, etc. Currently we don’t have a pet, but our house is a perfect set up to take care of yours. Currently we are retired. We would have plenty of time to go for walks, play and relax. Our dogs in the past have used our very convenient doggy door into a fenced area for potty breaks. Your dog will be treated like one of our own, getting lots of love and attention during the day and can sleep overnight in a doggy bed or crate whichever is preferred.
“Another fun daycare day for my puppy at Michelle’s. After playing with the other puppy’s and running the acreage he is all tuckered out. Thank you Michelle!!”

About: I have helped out with friends and family’s pets for a few years. I feed, walk, bathe their pets. Love to play with them with their toys and sometimes give them treats if owner allows. I’m currently wide open with my time, flexible and able to work around your schedule with your pets. I am available during the week and weekends.

I prioritize trust by communicating openly and transparently with clients, providing regular updates and addressing any concerns promptly. Additionally, I strive to create a positive and nurturing environment, enriching pets' experiences with stimulating activities and plenty of love and attention.
About: I have been living with animals since I was born and loved them the entire time. Most of my experience is caring for cats however I have also cared for medium sized dogs, a lizard, and rats for a short period of time. I am currently in between ventures of life so have lots of time on my hands for walking and playing with your fur babies. I am free Monday - Friday 10am - 6pm for walks and drop ins, along with occasionally being free on weekends for the same hours. I can carefully follow any instructions given for pet care including walking, playing, and feeding along with administering any basic medication your pet my need according to given instructions.
“Tori is extremely reliable, responsive, and easy to work with. You can tell she is a big pet lover and genuinely enjoys spending time with Maple. She takes great care of her, is attentive to her needs, and keeps us updated, which gives us peace of mind while we’re away. We really appreciate how dependable and caring Tori is. I would definitely give her 5 stars and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and responsible person to care for their pet. Thank you, Tori, for taking such great care of Maple!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. Our family animals (dog, cats, goats, Guinea pigs, birds, lizards, and a pony) fostered my lifelong love of animals. As a dog sitter, I have experience working with many different breeds and personalities. I have worked at a cruelty-free animal shelter, where I walked dogs, provided playtime, and helped take care of their living spaces. I have experience dog sitting in my home and understand the importance of helping dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. When your dog is with me, they will receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I am happy to take your dog on walks as often as needed and look forward to having a companion to play and cuddle with. On days I am not at school, I am at home, which allows me to give your dog my full attention throughout the day. I genuinely care about making every dog feel happy, comfortable, and secure, and I will treat yours as if they were my own! I am currently a doctoral student studying Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine and my schedule allows me to provide pet care throughout the week. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I am on campus for part of the day, and Thursday through Monday I study from home, which gives me the availability to provide your pets with plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. I live in a house with my parents. The upstairs level is my dedicated living space, which includes a bedroom, bathroom, and a living room area. Your pet will spend their time in this space with me! My parents have a cat that lives downstairs. They will not be living in the same space. We live on 4 acres, providing ample outdoor space for play, exploration, and exercise. We are located on rural road, which is great for long walks. When caring for pets, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions you provide.
About: The two loves of my life were my dog, Abby, and my dog Bronx. Abby was a Siberian husky and Bronx a 15” lemon beagle. Bronx was part of my life for 20 years and just recently passed. I honestly can’t imagine a life without animals in it, and one day I wanna be able to reflect back on my life, knowing that I did as much as I could to help as many animals as possible, which is why becoming a part of ROVER is so appealing. I have an incredibly flexible work schedule that will enable me to schedule my work hours around my hours caring for animals. I truly believe that animals are every bit as important as we are, and I think pet owners will be able to rest easy, leaving their pets in my care, knowing that their health and safety will be of the utmost importance to me! I have a two-story condo that they would be able to spend most of their time in with me. I also have a heated garage that I’ve converted into a safe and comfortable area for animals to play in. In addition to that, I live in Woodbury, literally surrounded by parks, full of walking paths that will be ideal for a dogs exercise. One thing I would like pet owners to know is that I’m not doing this for the money, I’m doing this because I’m newly single and alone and can’t think of anybody better to spend my time with than animals in need. I wouldn’t just be some dog watcher, I would be their friend that plays with them and loves being with them.

“Emily did great with my two pups. I hired her to walk the dogs while my parent's dog was staying with me to make sure they got extra attention. My Finn warmed up immediately, Lily took a little bit but she always came home happy from her walk. She was always on time and sent lots of cute pictures as updates.”
About: What sets me apart is my combination of professional experience and a lifetime of hands-on pet care. I spent over three years working in a dog daycare and boarding facility, caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I also worked as a pet store manager, which gave me valuable experience with animal behavior, care, and overall pet wellness. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, or a senior needing extra attention, I provide patient, personalized care tailored to them. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home most days, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, and exercise throughout the day. I only go into the office one day per week, so I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate most pets’ routines and needs. Caring for animals has always been a part of my life, and I enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and quality one-on-one attention into my day. Whether your pet prefers an active day or a quiet companion nearby, I can provide a comfortable and consistent environment while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I follow all feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any other specific care requests. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and mental stimulation based on their individual needs and personality. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, so I treat every home with the same respect and care I would my own. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, so caring for them is second nature to me! From bouncy puppies who need patience and consistency to sweet senior pups who enjoy a slower pace, I love them all. I’m happy to help with basic training, stick to routines, and make sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, and tail wags while you’re away I’m in school, but I make plenty of time for pets! I can fit walks, playtime, and care into my daily and weekly schedule, so every pet gets attention, love, and fun while I balance school. I keep pets safe, happy, and comfy wherever they are! In your home, I follow your instructions and make sure they have food, water, and lots of love. In my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of supervision, cuddles, and fun so every pet feels safe and cared for
About: Please note*** I cannot board pets where I live, all pet sitting (days and overnight) is done at your residence. Hello! I've had dogs and cats all my life. I am the type to keep my dogs active whether it be playing fetch in the yard or throwing the stick in the lake for them to fetch. I believe in lots of play toys and chewys so they never get bored. I also understand the dog who might be more calm, maybe a little shy and likes time alone, and that is very understandable. I am a retired nurse and know pretty well the signs and symptoms of pain or discomfort. I understand the importance of proper nutrition and availability of fresh water. I'm a unique pet/house sitter in that I travel in my beautiful Canadian Roadtrek Campervan and can house "watch" while taking care of your pets. I do not need to stay in your home. Any additional duties other than "watch" your house can be negotiated- like water a few houseplants, etc. I do ask that you provide a household electric (120V) outside plug in. My small RV uses approx. $2-$3 per day of electricity. I love animals. I have a 3 yr. old yellow Labrador myself! I travel often in my RV and we make great travel partners often stopping at dog parks 2-3 times a day on our adventures. Beau would love to have playmates! Currently I am mobile and spend Summers in WI and Winters in AZ. I will come to you. I can stay as long as you need for your pet care - up to 2+ weeks if needed. I can only provide mobile pet/house sitting. I am unable to pet sit in the home I live in. I am a recently retired nurse. I am trained not only in human CPR, but I also have dog and cat CPR training. I have given pets medication, induced vomiting -per instructions while on the phone with a vet tech (after dog ate 1 1/2 lbs of bing cherries - pits and all. Happy ending! :). When I go into a home I find myself scanning countertops and floors for potential hazards for pets - things like medications, foods, hot boiling water on stovetop with handles pointing out, etc... I am constantly monitoring for potential dangers. Sometimes things happen though, unfortunately, that can't be avoided and that's when first aid, CPR, poison control line, and Vet info need to all be available and handy. I ask that all instructions be written down and text/emailed to me 24 hours prior. That way if I have any questions, they can be answered before you leave on your relaxing worry-free vacation!
About: I have loved and cared for animals my whole life and get a deep sense of joy when I am able to care for them! I have been a Certified Veterinary Technician for 15 years which has provided me experience with all kinds of animals with all types of personalities. I have an animal medical background which helps me provide safe and sound handling techniques and animal care skills. I have owned an array of animals: dogs, cats, horses, chickens, ducks, rabbits, rats, and mice. I also have cared for other farm animals such as cows, goats, and sheep. I have fostered puppies through Ruff Start Rescue for 7 years which has given me extensive experience with potty training and leash training. I work at a school which gives me summers and weekends available for animal care. I am often available in the evenings year-round also. I have a quiet neighborhood and a large yard. My dog is young, playful, and very friendly. I am familiar and comfortable with crate training and dog-safe practices within the home. I am aware of pet toxicity and safety concerns with pets.
About: I have a lot of experience with animals since I was 10 when I started volunteering my time at an animal rescue. I have experience from puppies all the way to senior dogs! My days are free Monday-Sunday 24/7. I do same day bookings or bookings in advance whenever you would need. I can come let the animals out for potty breaks or I can come stay with them for a longer amount of time. I do not offer care inside of my home due to my two cats who are not dog friendly. But I have no problem coming to your home and providing my services whenever needed.
About: I have spent my whole life with dogs, caring for our family dogs over the years and dog sitting for friends. I enjoy going on long walks and would love to have a buddy join me, big or small. I’m a graduate student and tend to be available either before 9am or after 5pm. I spend a good amount of time working from my apartment but sometimes have to unexpectedly run into the lab. I’m typically more free during the days on the weekend. I live in an apartment, and will not be able to host dogs here. the apartment is dog friendly so there is a chance i could bring a dog over temporarily, but not overnight. (though I wish i could!)
About: I’ve worked with dogs and cats in many different ways. I have owned dogs my entire life, plus a few cats. I volunteer at the Humane Society in Kansas City while at school where I work directly with the shelter dogs. I have house sat for multiple family friends and am ready to take on new pups and cats! I am currently home from school for the summer so am looking to fill the time. I work part time as a server a few times a week. During the day I often just workout, read a book, or hang with my own dogs. I have fostered a dog before and can adjust well to your dogs needs. I’ve practiced crate training, furniture restrictions, and other small training tasks. My house has an open yard which my dogs are free to run around in when they are not on leash to go potty.

“This was my first experience with River, and I couldn’t have been happier with this provider. Princesa provided a loving, caring experience for our Molly. I could tell our dog loved her visit! Thank you!!!”
“Katie was so perfect for our elderly and needy dog who needs a lot of attention. She was quick to communicate and let me know how he was doing. I'll definitely use her again. I'm so happy I found her.”
“Extremely considerate and sent me updates and pictures of my cat! Consistently responded on time and made accommodations for my schedule change. Top tier cat boarders thanks again Elizabeth and Erik!”
“Michelle took excellent care of Truman. She provided daily updates with pictures. She was communicative and very professional. Truman was happy and well cared for while we were away. No doubt he enjoyed all of the walks and snuggles Michelle provided. We’d book again with Michelle with zero hesitation!”
“Suki's first time with Lisa could not have been better! Lisa and her family were flexible and accommodating of our evolving schedule and took extra time to meet with us the day before to get everyone comfortable. Suki seemed right at home and was a very happy pup when we picked her up. We look forward to working with Lisa again!”
“We had an excellent experience with Cait and Tim! Our pup didn’t have good manners when meeting their family dog but they didn’t seem to be worried. He eventually settled in and he had a great time for his overnight. He was so tired the following day from all the activity at their house. We’d never used a service like this before. We would recommend them 100%!”
“Patricia and Patrick were so amazing! They logged on my dog and treated him like their own! They were great at communicating before and during the visit! They send a few updates and pictures which gave me comfort he was being so well taken care of. I highly recommend Patricia and Patrick and will most definitely be booking with them again!”
“The care and understanding of our dog and helping her acclimate to their home was outstanding in every way. Was given time to be a part of the family and enjoy being part of their 'pack'. The messages and images helped us know about how she was doing during her stay. She would go back in an instant.”
“Would absolutely recommend Kaitlyn! She took fantastic care of our Bernedoodle while we were away, and we loved the daily updates. Booking, communication and pickup and drop off were super easy. Thanks for taking great care of our pup!”
“Alex was great with my nervous guy. We’ve boarded him in the past and he always seemed to be anxious and have trouble eating. He settled in quickly with Alex. I think being in a home environment was more like his everyday routine.”
“Thanks for taking care of Stella and Walter like they were your own. I feel so comfortable leaving them with you guys. They love playing in your back yard and chasing squirrels. You are our go to for taking care of our babies!!”
“I was very impressed Marie and Mark. When we first went to meet them, Marie took Luna off her leash so she could explore the house. Luna jumped up on the couch to be next to them. They did not care and just petted her. The pics the sent was Luna going on walks and curled up next to them. I felt very comfortable Luna was just fine. Will use, for sure, again.”
“We never worry when Suki is with Abbie and her wonderful family! She is always loved and well taken care of. We get great pictures and updates along the way and flexibility with pick up and drop off times.”
“Our Boon loved being at Talisha’s, especially with his buddy Jack! Finally a dog his size to play with. I can already tell he misses him. Open communication and pictures from Talisha was the best. We love seeing Boon having fun! The Rae-Pederson Family”
“This is our first time using Rover and it could not have gone better! Brock and Laura were so nice, understanding, and supportive. We got multiple updates to reassure us, the dogs got so many walks - rain or shine. I will definitely be using them again!!!”
“Rosie was very happy at Kyle’s. We saw some sweet photos of her during her stay. We appreciated your flexibility in picking her up too. Thanks much. We will definitely request to rebook with Kyle.”
