“Erica K. was a wonderful choice for boarding Lydia, a terrier mix, over a long weekend. She was kind and patient, and really took the time to get to know our dog and family. She was willing to both pickup and dropoff, which made the whole process so much easier for our vacation. Erica sent frequent pictures and videos and kept us updated to our dog's situation. She was also open about how her pet sitting style was approached in her home and property. In addition, it was quite apparent that the dogs they sat would have plenty of outside exercise, love and attention, as well as freedom to be a dog. Lydia loved romping around in the snow, lying in front of their fire place, and interacting with their dogs. We also learned that our dog is pretty corteous to cats, but very interested. Their four acres of land and stream are a definite amenity to an active dog's lifestyle. Not only do I highly recommend her services, but I will also be a returning customer to both Rover and her pet care. ~DR”
“Jennifer took wonderful care of my dog while I was away, and I really appreciated how attentive and communicative she was throughout the stay. She sent daily updates, checked in about any concerns, and was very thoughtful when my dog didn’t want to eat the first day — which is normal for her in new environments. I also appreciated the time she took to have us come over beforehand so we could meet her and her dogs and make sure it was a good fit. She was responsive, caring, and clearly experienced with dogs. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and would absolutely recommend her to others.”
“Wow!!!! Honestly I am extremely thankful for this amazing family that took care of my scared shy dog! They constantly sent pictures and videos with updates! They made my dog feel right at home. I would definitely recommend them. Your dog will be in the best hands”
“Drew was very responsive. He also was very understanding about a new allergy complaint for my dog which required Benadryl and ointments, which he was gracious enough to administer during her stay. Would definitely recommend!”
“Erin, Brandon, and kids took such good care of Poppy. They kept in close communication, and even sent pictures! Poppy was well loved and cared for while with them and came home a happy dog! Thank you!”
“Rebekah was great! Lots of playtime and walks. Blaze had a great time. Also appreciated photos and updates. I felt very comfortable leaving her even though it was her first time there. Woukd definitely go back again. Thanks so much!”
“Erica and Ciara were AMAZING with our little Cavapoo puppy. She was so well taken care of, and we received lots of updates while we were gone about our puppy and what she was up to. Lots of photos too to help with being away from her. Could not recommend Erica and Ciara enough!!!”
About: I have always been an avid animal-lover. From childhood into adulthood, I have owned and cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles, birds & fish. My family & I currently share our home with two dogs, a bearded dragon, a Russian tortoise, & a ball python. I have several years of professional work experience in animal care (zoo, kennel care, walking, basic grooming) and wildlife / parks & recreation—both of which are relevant. I enjoy the outdoors and keeping all of our furry (& scaly) friends happy. I will board dogs, small mammals, reptiles & birds in my home! Upon request, I can do drop-in visits for cats or exotic animals within a 15 mile radius. I am currently a stay-at-home mom & so my schedule allows me to be at home majority of the time. If I need to leave the house, it’s never for more than a couple of hours. I have a large four-story home, which provides amble space for pets to play or to be separated if need be. I utilize crates for dogs who need or prefer it. Our yard is unfenced, so I use slip leads and tie-out cables for potty time.
“David was great to work with and we felt very comfortable leaving our pup in his hands. He consistently communicated with us providing updates which gave us peace of mind that Bo was in good company & care.”
“Michelle was fantastic with Juniper. Juniper is a super nervous dog and Michelle was very patient with her. Gave me plenty of updates knowing how nervous I was. Will definitely book with her in the future!”
“Jasmine was awesome! I got pictures and regular updates:) you can tell that jasmine cares about your pet, I wasn’t worried about Alfie at all well he was in her care!”
“Linda is amazing. She sent us pics and videos every day. Tango had a back yard and a couple of friends to play with. He was never left alone or put in a kernel. Linda was very thoughtful to invite us over for meet and greet before we left him for a week. Will definitely work with her again!”

I love nice walks with dogs as it is very peaceful to me.

I volunteer at multiple rescues, so have recent experience with different dog sizes and breeds. When I was younger, I use to be an AKC Junior Handler in dog shows.

I take care of your pets at your home so safety is not an issue. This gives my customers an ease of mind that their animal is in it’s normal environment.
“Margaret is the absolute best house sitter/pet sitter we could've ever hoped for. She is so sweet and takes care of everything while we have to be away from home. She's a great communicator and super good with our cats and dog.”
“Jacque was a great care taker looking after our two kitties while we were away. She was in close communication with us and kept us updated of the shenanigans our cats got into, such as knocking the feeder over every single day. Jacques responds quickly and is reliable. I would definitely recommend her to any family and friends!”

“Gilman's experience with Erica was outstanding!! He has tons of energy and she knew how to keep him busy. He was showing some obnoxious behaviors when we got to her house. She was so understanding and just knew how to keep him busy and get him tired out. She shared photos with me through texting which allowed for reassurance on this first time experience for me. I highly recommend Erica and we will be visiting again! Thanks for everything Erica (and all)”

“It was our first time using the Rover App and we were really happy with Nadia. It was a last minute drop in and Nadia was quick to reply. We enjoyed the pictures and thought it was neat we could see the walks, poop/pee stops, and eat/drink. Our pup seemed to have a good time and was taken care of and that’s what we cared about. Thank you Nadia😊”

About: Relocated here from Iowa. Enjoy working with different dogs. Pet lover. I completed 6 months of Veterinarian Assistant classes online. Life happened and I had to take a pause. But I am thinking about going back and finish obtaining my associates degree in the field. So whether it be house sitting with the animals or simply doing some walking or activities, I don't mind and will enjoy my time with them. Its something I enjoy as one of my hobbies. I am available during the week days. Every other weekend I work night shift at this time. I enjoy play time with pets because they too have different personalities. Love Dogs. We cuddle mostly and play. Take walks outside. Play fetch with their toys. It's cool to go to the backyard and be socialable with nature. I think it helps with sensory awareness.

“Erica K. was a wonderful choice for boarding Lydia, a terrier mix, over a long weekend. She was kind and patient, and really took the time to get to know our dog and family. She was willing to both pickup and dropoff, which made the whole process so much easier for our vacation. Erica sent frequent pictures and videos and kept us updated to our dog's situation. She was also open about how her pet sitting style was approached in her home and property. In addition, it was quite apparent that the dogs they sat would have plenty of outside exercise, love and attention, as well as freedom to be a dog. Lydia loved romping around in the snow, lying in front of their fire place, and interacting with their dogs. We also learned that our dog is pretty corteous to cats, but very interested. Their four acres of land and stream are a definite amenity to an active dog's lifestyle. Not only do I highly recommend her services, but I will also be a returning customer to both Rover and her pet care. ~DR”
“Jennifer took wonderful care of my dog while I was away, and I really appreciated how attentive and communicative she was throughout the stay. She sent daily updates, checked in about any concerns, and was very thoughtful when my dog didn’t want to eat the first day — which is normal for her in new environments. I also appreciated the time she took to have us come over beforehand so we could meet her and her dogs and make sure it was a good fit. She was responsive, caring, and clearly experienced with dogs. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and would absolutely recommend her to others.”
“Drew was very responsive. He also was very understanding about a new allergy complaint for my dog which required Benadryl and ointments, which he was gracious enough to administer during her stay. Would definitely recommend!”
“Rebekah was great! Lots of playtime and walks. Blaze had a great time. Also appreciated photos and updates. I felt very comfortable leaving her even though it was her first time there. Woukd definitely go back again. Thanks so much!”
“Erica and Ciara were AMAZING with our little Cavapoo puppy. She was so well taken care of, and we received lots of updates while we were gone about our puppy and what she was up to. Lots of photos too to help with being away from her. Could not recommend Erica and Ciara enough!!!”
About: I have always been an avid animal-lover. From childhood into adulthood, I have owned and cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles, birds & fish. My family & I currently share our home with two dogs, a bearded dragon, a Russian tortoise, & a ball python. I have several years of professional work experience in animal care (zoo, kennel care, walking, basic grooming) and wildlife / parks & recreation—both of which are relevant. I enjoy the outdoors and keeping all of our furry (& scaly) friends happy. I will board dogs, small mammals, reptiles & birds in my home! Upon request, I can do drop-in visits for cats or exotic animals within a 15 mile radius. I am currently a stay-at-home mom & so my schedule allows me to be at home majority of the time. If I need to leave the house, it’s never for more than a couple of hours. I have a large four-story home, which provides amble space for pets to play or to be separated if need be. I utilize crates for dogs who need or prefer it. Our yard is unfenced, so I use slip leads and tie-out cables for potty time.
“David was great to work with and we felt very comfortable leaving our pup in his hands. He consistently communicated with us providing updates which gave us peace of mind that Bo was in good company & care.”
“Michelle was fantastic with Juniper. Juniper is a super nervous dog and Michelle was very patient with her. Gave me plenty of updates knowing how nervous I was. Will definitely book with her in the future!”
“Our dogs have the best time with Holly and Jeremy and family - so much fun that they never want to leave! Holly and Jeremy are great about sending photo updates and have been flexible when we have had travel delays. They are always our top choice to watch our dogs when we are out of town!”
“Toni was so sweet, friendly, and helpful. She took great care of Franklin, was flexible to handle the puppy sides of him, and did great at facilitating bonding time for my dog and her grand dog. I would trust to leave Franklin with her again in the future!”
“An amazing person to take your pets to, very attentive and caring and even got me a little refund when I didn’t book correctly my first time! Definitely recommend and will be booking Mathew & Angela again.”
