“Canela loved staying with Jessica, Ted, and their kids! We received many photo updates which we greatly appreciated. It was also great that the family was able to stay with Canela most of the time, as she is used to people being around most of the day. She came home to us happy, healthy, and worn out from all her playing during what we would call a 5 star stay!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels since I was young. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and giving medications if needed. I always make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently in school, but I manage my time well and intentionally plan my schedule around pet care. I’m available before and after school, as well as on weekends, and I make sure I never overbook myself so every dog gets the attention they deserve. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I prioritize it in my weekly routine and stay consistent with walks, feedings, and playtime. I always follow each pet’s routine closely, whether I’m in my client’s home or mine. I stick to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I keep their space clean, safe, and calm, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m also happy to send updates so you always know your pet is doing well.
“My girl came home happy and worn out. She must have played non-stop with Raleigh's dog Gargamel, as the pictures and videos sent to me all showed. My feeling is so much better with her coming back from Raleigh's place than I have felt recently when I left her at a kennel. I'll soon be a repeat customer.”
About: I’ve been helping friends and family take care of their animals while they are away since I was a kid. I love babysitting furry friends. I work certain days of the week at another job really early in the mourning and home by 1130 am. I’m a very quiet shy person but I love animals. I work certain days early in the mourning and I’m home by 11:30 a.m. I need a 4 day in advance booking. I love animals so I wanted a job to where I can work them. I spoil every animal I come across. Everyone will be fed. I have treats, toys, leashes, a special dog monitor for if I do have an overnight on a day I have to work. I do have an extra crate if you feel your dog needs crated. If your animal requires special treatment such as medication I will need something written out for that such as name of medication time taken etc. I care for every animal as if they were my own. Their health and safety is my main priority at all times.
“Heather was easy to talk to and she was able to help us in a last minute pinch. Jake loved being with the kids. I look forward to using her and her family again in the future!”
“Kelly helped us out last minute after a cancellation from another sitter and I’m SO glad we found her! I could tell by her updates, with pictures included, that her and her family were loving my pup like their own. He came home with a stylish new bandana and is a happy boy. I would recommend Kelly to everyone and we would definitely use her again!”
“Monica is absolutely wonderful. She sent daily updates with pictures showing that our dog, who can be a little anxious, was totally at ease in her home. She is responsible, proactive, and caring, and we felt reassured that our little guy was safe and comfortable while we were on vacation. This was our second stay with Monica and we 100% recommend her to all dog parents!”
“Angeline was wonderful and so reassuring to us! Our pup was well cared for, and came home happy and healthy. We loved the cute photos Angeline texted each morning!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Dana. We were hesitant to leave our new puppy with anyone, but based off her reviews we felt reasonably comfortable with her. After meeting her, and her dogs, the worries dissolved. She genuinely cares and enjoys her time with the animals. She kept in contact and sent us several updates and photos of Mila. It really helped alleviate the anxiety over leaving her with someone new. We had an overall great experience with Dana and definitely recommend her to anyone. We will be booking her again when we need to board her.”

About: What sets us apart is that dogs aren’t just pets in our home—they’re family. We’ve been caring for dogs together since 2013, and our animals live fully alongside us in everyday life, from couch snuggles to family adventures. Our dogs are regularly vetted, deeply loved, and yes—often spoiled. In addition to long-term pet care, we’re proud foster parents with The Road Home Animal Project and have lovingly fostered over 22 dogs (and counting), each with unique personalities and needs. This experience has made us patient, adaptable, and confident caring for dogs of all ages, energy levels, and backgrounds. Your pup won’t just be watched—they’ll be welcomed into a calm, happy home with a whole family devoted to their comfort and care. Pet care is woven into our daily life. My husband works remotely five days a week, I work part-time, and evenings and weekends are open—perfect for one-on-one attention, extra spoiling, and playtime with our dogs who love having new friends. We care for pets like family, offering fenced yard play, neighborhood walks, and crate options when needed. Our friendly, sometimes vocal dogs enjoy playmates, and pets are fully included in our home with supervision, comfy furniture, and attentive care.
“Stephanie is an amazing animal care taker! She completely spoiled Kula, my Labrador Mix. Kula made herself at home and comfortable. She stayed in constant contact with video and picture updates. She asked me if Kula was allowed on couches and beds. I agreed to making that exception since we were out and just wanted her happy and not lonely. Kula totally fell in love with Stephanie (as did my 4 year old human. Thank you so very very much Stephanie! I truly recommend her for anyone's first time or any animal you need to be in good care! Will ask Stephanie again to babysit for future dog boarding!”
“Katrina was GREAT! We were a little worried because we'd not gotten a chance to meet her before we got into town and we were 8 hours away from home but as soon as we met her we knew that she'd take great care of the dogs. She has two smaller dogs of her own that she kept separate from ours while we were there, but by the time we picked Hope and Lou up a few days later everyone was hanging out together. She was quick to update when I checked in on the dogs, but really, I felt comfortable enough that I only texted twice. I would absolutely leave them with her again when I'm back in the area.”
“Joni is so kind and a wonderful caregiver for our dog. He’s nervous arrived new people, but she is patient and made us all feel comfortable. He was all smiles at his stay there.”
“Cassandra took excellent care of our 8 year black Lab (Lambeau). We are fairly new in the area and have always had our dog stay with family and friends during our travels. I was so comfortable with Cassandra during our Meet and Greet I didn’t hesitate at all about leaving our dog with her and her family for 7 days! Our dog has a little anxiety regarding walking on hardwood/ tile floors and she went the extra mile to insure he was comfortable in her home, by allowing me to bring runners, rugs so he could come and go in her home/yard! She sent pictures which we so appreciated. We will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve always loved cats and have been caring for them for years, both my own and for friends and family. I understand that every cat has a different personality, whether they’re playful, shy, cuddly, or independent. I’m patient and gentle, and I make sure every cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I’m happy to feed them, clean litter boxes, play with them, and give them all the attention they need. Your cat will be treated just like part of my family.
About: With personal experience caring for cats, I truly enjoy giving felines the individualized attention they are looking for. From playful kittens to independent adults and gentle seniors, I understand their unique needs—quiet environments, consistent routines, interactive play, and respect for their space. Your cats will be well-cared for and happily waiting for your return!

“Kristen came in clutch! We made a last-minute decision to extend our vacation and booked an Airbnb in the small town of Cadiz where sitter selection was sparse. Kristen responded to my request immediately and was willing to drive 30 minutes after work to take care of Bogey. The visit was flawless, she followed directions perfectly, and we returned to a happy dog. His bully looks were no issue for her either. I also appreciated the pics she sent. We felt comfortable leaving his care in her hands and would do so again. Maybe with more than 7 hours notice next time ?”

About: My name is Kelly, I am 27 years YOUNG! I am a full time Criminal Justice college student attending Purdue Global University online. If it weren’t for Covid-19, I’d still be working as a Correctional Officer. I’m married to my best friend who has given me the best gift of all, a stepdaughter who is 8 years old. I have loved animals ever since I learned to walk. My parents never believed in buying animals, they believed in adopting the ones who didn’t have a home. I carried that with me growing up and became the go to for my neighborhood if they seen a stray animal. Call Kelly, they’d say. No challenge is too big with animals. I’ve been around plenty of new animals that didn’t like many people, including myself but I believe patience is key. We have baby steps to get to our goals and I believe the same for animals, you take baby steps and earn their trust and the rest will come. We have one dog, he is a cocker spaniel. His name is Charlie and he is about 6 years old. I’ve had him since he was just 7 weeks old, he is my whole world and the love/bond we share is undeniable and unbreakable. I treat ALL animals how I would want someone to treat mine; with love and patience. I have ample experience walking various breeds and sizes as well as ones with different temperaments. I love taking my Charlie butt on long walks and enjoy playtimes with him. He gets the best of love and care that I will show with you’re furry best friend!

“It is the first time we have used this service, and we have had the best experience with Tom and Christine, always in contact with us, they made us feel that Cooper was safe with them all the time. Cooper had a lot of fun to the point that the only thing he wanted when he returned was to drink plenty of water and rest. We are very grateful and hope to use his service again and for sure with Tom y Christina. Highly recommended!!!”
“We booked at the last minute and Kandis could not have been more accommodating. She was so sweet to our.girl Tia. If we are in Steubenville again, we will definitely book with Kandis and let Tia come play.”

About: I'm passionate when it comes to top quality care of all animals. I live, eat, and breathe pet care/vet med. I'm a loving, kind experienced veterinary assistant with experience in specialty vet med. I have 2 medium well trained dogs that I share custody of, so I can accomodate more needy puppers or kitties if needed (they can go to their dads for sittings) I also have 3 cats. My first job as a kid in high-school was helping the local groomer wash dogs. I have pet sat, house sat, walked dogs, fed, bathed, clipped nails, admin'ed meds, etc. for over 20 years at this point. Because I have a background in vet med, I feel comfortable with pets who have some mild to moderate special needs. I work full time remotely, so I am available to sit in my home or at yours with short notice. I also have a very flexible schedule which allows for frequent potty/ walk about breaks. I have a spare room for pets overnight in my home. During the day they're allowed to freely roam the house and we will take occasional strolls to park, or on the trail, based on behavior and comfort level of all parties.
About: Hi! I have been an animal lover and owner all my life. Growing up, I rode horses and my family had numerous dogs (puppies), cats (kittens), goats, hamsters, amphibians and birds! As an adult, I lived on a farm for 11 years and helped with a herd of goats, rabbits and mules. I am entertained by chickens and have raised multiple flocks of them and ducks too. I've also had great opportunity to travel doing house and pet sitting experiences along the way. I am an active person and I enjoy ensuring animals have the proper space and time to exercise in all seasons. It is my priority to treat animals with respect and kindness, allowing trust to develop. It is so interesting to make new fur-friends and learn each of their individual personalities. I am currently working only a small amount of hours each week, so my availability is quite open. I also have the flexibility to come to your house. I currently live with my parents and their two super friendly Boston terriers. We have a fenced yard and plenty of space for nice walks. If I am in your home, I am very adaptable and will follow your instructions for what is best for your pets.
About: I have experience (20 years) with my own pets. And have dog-sat seniors with medical issues/medication administering needs and police dogs as well. I also worked at a boarding and doggy daycare facility. I recognize the need for a clean and safe place for your pet that provides professional, proficient care and monitoring as well. I am currently a full time working mom. I have decided to offer my experience of caring for pets, because I have desire to work with animals. I would love to play with your pets and cuddle them while you are busy or working! I have availability for pet sitting some days during the week. I have a large, fenced (5 foot) back yard. I can crate your pet, if needed. I administer medications and feed at the required/designated times. Your pet will never be left for an extended (2+ hours) amount of time.
About: I have had all kinds of pets from a young age, have a degree in veterinary technology, and have had several animal care jobs. Safety and communication are always my priorities! I am available full time for pet boarding! I take an occasional dog walking appointment but otherwise I am home 24/7. I have 3 years now of full time pet boarding experience! I have a half acre of fenced in area, and can separate my top and bottom floor of my home if your pet needs their own space! Outside play time is always supervised to ensure safety.
About: Dog sitting is my favorite passion. I have taken care of every breed from a miniature schnauzer to an English mastiff to Rottweilers for over 10-15 years now. Animal owners rely on me to give all the love and care to their precious animals. Our animals are like kids and owners expect them to be well-taken care of and loved! I love cuddling with the animals, taking them for walks, throwing balls outside for dogs, and more! That is what I do! I am full time work from home. For my preferences, I like to come to your home and watch the animals. This ensures that the animals feel most safe and comfortable in their own environment. I would bring my work station to your location and work my regular hours while watching and caring for your animals. So, I am available M/T/W/Th/F/Sa/Su all hours of the day. I am full time work from home. For my preferences, I like to come to your home and watch the animals. This ensures that the animals feel most safe and comfortable in their own environment. I would bring my work station to your location and work my regular hours while watching and caring for your animals. Of course, I have had animals come to my house and stay. I have 1 small dog, a female miniature schnauzer, who gets along with every animal. We have not had any issues. I do not have a fenced in yard, but chains work well.
“Would highly recommend! When I realized a big chain daycare place wasn't the right fit for my dog, I turned to Rover to try and find a solution. Raleigh and his dog have been absolutely wonderful for my dog Rascal. He's knowledgeable about dog behavior and keeps play appropriate and fun for the dogs. From the meet and greet to the initial visit, he's been kind and listened to my concerns and works with me and my hectic schedule. This has been a great experience and I am hopeful that more people are willing to work with reactive dogs!”

I am usually off on the weekends and have more time to spend with fur babies. I have a fenced yard and 2 sweet dogs to keep your fur baby company and play with. If you would like your dog crated, let me know!
About: I have been taking care of animals, mostly dogs and cats since I was 10 years old when I got my first puppy and have had dogs and cats ever since. I have a passion for animals and love taking care of them. Whenever friends or family need assistance taking care of their pet, I kindly oblige! I am only working part time at the moment so I am pretty flexible with my schedule. Mornings and afternoons are preferred for drop ins are preferred. I can do any time on the weekends. It varies depending on the situation. I typically take the dog for a walk or if there is a fenced in yard, I’ll take the dog out and play in the fenced in area.
About: I've lived with dogs my whole life! I'm all about creating a fun and relaxed environment where your dog can feel safe and loved while you're away! I'm on summer break from college, so I have plenty of availability. I'm flexible and happy to tailor my schedule to fit your needs. Whether it's regular check-ins, walks or occasional visits, I’m committed to being there when you need me. When caring for pets in their own home, I stick closely to their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of playtime and walks, and have lots of attention and affection. I also keep the home tidy and follow any specific instructions you leave—because your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priority!
About: I am back from home after graduating with a Masters this summer, so I am excited to come home and go back to dog sitting, what I’ve done since I was in high school! My dog Sammy is always so excited when we go home because she gets to meet new pup friends, and we both love having more dogs around to play with. Sammy is just about the nicest dog you'll ever meet. I've had dogs my whole life, and I love taking care of all animals, rowdy or calm! We have a huge yard (and a very tall fence, so no need to worry if anybody can jump over it!) that we can run in all day, and when we're all tired, we lounge on the couch and relax. Sammy and I take daily walks, and sometimes walk twice a day, which your animal can join in on as well. I take care of pets like they're my own, I just love them so much! My house will be like a home away from home for your pet. I am home working on writing and grading all day for my winter break so I am home the entire day to care for your pup. I will play or snuggle with the pets based on their energy and preferences! They will get treats as often as you tell me to give them (I know some pups are on a diet so I will wait for you to say if it’s okay to give any treats). They will go outside as often as they need and spend all winter inside a warm living room with me and my pup Sammy
About: My name is Kelly, I am 27 years YOUNG! I am a full time Criminal Justice college student attending Purdue Global University online. If it weren’t for Covid-19, I’d still be working as a Correctional Officer. I’m married to my best friend who has given me the best gift of all, a stepdaughter who is 8 years old. I have loved animals ever since I learned to walk. My parents never believed in buying animals, they believed in adopting the ones who didn’t have a home. I carried that with me growing up and became the go to for my neighborhood if they seen a stray animal. Call Kelly, they’d say. No challenge is too big with animals. I’ve been around plenty of new animals that didn’t like many people, including myself but I believe patience is key. We have baby steps to get to our goals and I believe the same for animals, you take baby steps and earn their trust and the rest will come. We have one dog, he is a cocker spaniel. His name is Charlie and he is about 6 years old. I’ve had him since he was just 7 weeks old, he is my whole world and the love/bond we share is undeniable and unbreakable. I treat ALL animals how I would want someone to treat mine; with love and patience. I have ample experience walking various breeds and sizes as well as ones with different temperaments. I love taking my Charlie butt on long walks and enjoy playtimes with him. He gets the best of love and care that I will show with you’re furry best friend!
About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I was 13. Neighbors, friends & family have relied on me. To feed, bath & walk their pet. My workplace involves taking care of animals & have worked there for 4years & continue to work for them. I'm currently working part-time so I have lots of time on hands. I typically work 2 days weekly, I can also request days off if needed. My workdays are Friday, Saturday & Sunday. In the past, I had a husky which is a high maintenance dog. So, I know a how to handle an energetic dog. I also offer to bath the dog if needed. I also try to get a treat or toy, epically for a first interaction.
About: Hi! I have been an animal lover and owner all my life. Growing up, I rode horses and my family had numerous dogs (puppies), cats (kittens), goats, hamsters, amphibians and birds! As an adult, I lived on a farm for 11 years and helped with a herd of goats, rabbits and mules. I am entertained by chickens and have raised multiple flocks of them and ducks too. I've also had great opportunity to travel doing house and pet sitting experiences along the way. I am an active person and I enjoy ensuring animals have the proper space and time to exercise in all seasons. It is my priority to treat animals with respect and kindness, allowing trust to develop. It is so interesting to make new fur-friends and learn each of their individual personalities. I am currently working only a small amount of hours each week, so my availability is quite open. I also have the flexibility to come to your house. I currently live with my parents and their two super friendly Boston terriers. We have a fenced yard and plenty of space for nice walks. If I am in your home, I am very adaptable and will follow your instructions for what is best for your pets.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and started caring for them when I was old enough(mainly cats and dogs). Feeding, walking, bathing, and professional experience with dog boarding/daycare.

Fridays I’m available anytime after 1. Weekends I am available anytime. I am respectful of feeding/walking/playing schedules and I will provide what is asked of me. Also, if any bathing is requested I am willing to do this as well

About: I’ve always been a dog person but I love all animals. We’ve always had a dog growing up along with some other pets (ex. Rabbits, hamsters, fish) anytime family or friends needed pet sitting I’ve been there. My main availability is Monday through Thursday but let me know the dates that you need the help and I can see what I can do! The two puppers in my house get to run and roam in the fenced yard but we do take them on walks from time to time.
About: I have had animals my whole life. Aside from having a well-loved pitty for 8 years, I have lots of experience keeping animals safe and loved! My family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues all count on me to keep their furry friends happy while they’re gone! I am a graduate student so I’m always willing to take a break from my studies! I’m available pretty much any time for your pet! In your home, I will follow your direction and use my best judgement to keep your animal safe. I believe that play and love builds trust with an animal so I’d love to take walks and toss a ball or treats around!
About: I cared for 2 of my own dogs their entire lives. Puppies to elderly. I miss them so much. Now Im available to care for other fur babies who need it. I’m available all through the day and night (with the help of my mom & step dad who also live with me). Local to Wheeling, right off Washington Ave. My yard is fenced in & I live right behind Pleasanton ball field/dogpark/playground for extra fun walks. My home is very pet friendly so no crating is needed. It works out well. Would love to watch your pets for you. In your home or mine. I love all animals. I have a fenced in yard. Also live directly behind a playground & ball field for plenty of activity. Iv lived all my life with pets. Excited to help care for yours. I do prefer pet sitting at the pets home. I can have pets in my home no problem. I can pick up & deliver as well. Short trips or long stays. All options open.😊
About: I am deaf, so I am able to bond with pets more because they cannot communicate their needs with humans. I am likewise, so I hope to communicate with gestures as they may did. I am studying in a certificate program, so that shouldn’t be a problem. I will work during the workdays, and I can be available during weekends. I have two kittens and three koi fishes. They are fed once in the mornings or evenings. I cuddle them for some time but left them to wander wherever their curiosity attracted them. My cats like to sit on my chest or necks when they wished to, but I left them to their desires when they want to.

“Canela loved staying with Jessica, Ted, and their kids! We received many photo updates which we greatly appreciated. It was also great that the family was able to stay with Canela most of the time, as she is used to people being around most of the day. She came home to us happy, healthy, and worn out from all her playing during what we would call a 5 star stay!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels since I was young. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and giving medications if needed. I always make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently in school, but I manage my time well and intentionally plan my schedule around pet care. I’m available before and after school, as well as on weekends, and I make sure I never overbook myself so every dog gets the attention they deserve. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I prioritize it in my weekly routine and stay consistent with walks, feedings, and playtime. I always follow each pet’s routine closely, whether I’m in my client’s home or mine. I stick to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I keep their space clean, safe, and calm, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m also happy to send updates so you always know your pet is doing well.
“My girl came home happy and worn out. She must have played non-stop with Raleigh's dog Gargamel, as the pictures and videos sent to me all showed. My feeling is so much better with her coming back from Raleigh's place than I have felt recently when I left her at a kennel. I'll soon be a repeat customer.”
About: I’ve been helping friends and family take care of their animals while they are away since I was a kid. I love babysitting furry friends. I work certain days of the week at another job really early in the mourning and home by 1130 am. I’m a very quiet shy person but I love animals. I work certain days early in the mourning and I’m home by 11:30 a.m. I need a 4 day in advance booking. I love animals so I wanted a job to where I can work them. I spoil every animal I come across. Everyone will be fed. I have treats, toys, leashes, a special dog monitor for if I do have an overnight on a day I have to work. I do have an extra crate if you feel your dog needs crated. If your animal requires special treatment such as medication I will need something written out for that such as name of medication time taken etc. I care for every animal as if they were my own. Their health and safety is my main priority at all times.
“Heather was easy to talk to and she was able to help us in a last minute pinch. Jake loved being with the kids. I look forward to using her and her family again in the future!”
“Kelly helped us out last minute after a cancellation from another sitter and I’m SO glad we found her! I could tell by her updates, with pictures included, that her and her family were loving my pup like their own. He came home with a stylish new bandana and is a happy boy. I would recommend Kelly to everyone and we would definitely use her again!”
“Monica is absolutely wonderful. She sent daily updates with pictures showing that our dog, who can be a little anxious, was totally at ease in her home. She is responsible, proactive, and caring, and we felt reassured that our little guy was safe and comfortable while we were on vacation. This was our second stay with Monica and we 100% recommend her to all dog parents!”
About: What sets us apart is that dogs aren’t just pets in our home—they’re family. We’ve been caring for dogs together since 2013, and our animals live fully alongside us in everyday life, from couch snuggles to family adventures. Our dogs are regularly vetted, deeply loved, and yes—often spoiled. In addition to long-term pet care, we’re proud foster parents with The Road Home Animal Project and have lovingly fostered over 22 dogs (and counting), each with unique personalities and needs. This experience has made us patient, adaptable, and confident caring for dogs of all ages, energy levels, and backgrounds. Your pup won’t just be watched—they’ll be welcomed into a calm, happy home with a whole family devoted to their comfort and care. Pet care is woven into our daily life. My husband works remotely five days a week, I work part-time, and evenings and weekends are open—perfect for one-on-one attention, extra spoiling, and playtime with our dogs who love having new friends. We care for pets like family, offering fenced yard play, neighborhood walks, and crate options when needed. Our friendly, sometimes vocal dogs enjoy playmates, and pets are fully included in our home with supervision, comfy furniture, and attentive care.
“Stephanie is an amazing animal care taker! She completely spoiled Kula, my Labrador Mix. Kula made herself at home and comfortable. She stayed in constant contact with video and picture updates. She asked me if Kula was allowed on couches and beds. I agreed to making that exception since we were out and just wanted her happy and not lonely. Kula totally fell in love with Stephanie (as did my 4 year old human. Thank you so very very much Stephanie! I truly recommend her for anyone's first time or any animal you need to be in good care! Will ask Stephanie again to babysit for future dog boarding!”
“Katrina was GREAT! We were a little worried because we'd not gotten a chance to meet her before we got into town and we were 8 hours away from home but as soon as we met her we knew that she'd take great care of the dogs. She has two smaller dogs of her own that she kept separate from ours while we were there, but by the time we picked Hope and Lou up a few days later everyone was hanging out together. She was quick to update when I checked in on the dogs, but really, I felt comfortable enough that I only texted twice. I would absolutely leave them with her again when I'm back in the area.”
“Joni is so kind and a wonderful caregiver for our dog. He’s nervous arrived new people, but she is patient and made us all feel comfortable. He was all smiles at his stay there.”
“Cassandra took excellent care of our 8 year black Lab (Lambeau). We are fairly new in the area and have always had our dog stay with family and friends during our travels. I was so comfortable with Cassandra during our Meet and Greet I didn’t hesitate at all about leaving our dog with her and her family for 7 days! Our dog has a little anxiety regarding walking on hardwood/ tile floors and she went the extra mile to insure he was comfortable in her home, by allowing me to bring runners, rugs so he could come and go in her home/yard! She sent pictures which we so appreciated. We will definitely use her again.”
“Emily was amazing with my two dogs! She sent me picture updates while they were there and she even got creative with their food when they didn’t want to eat! I’m so thankful for her and Sammy!”

About: I'm a huge animal lover - big and small! I've had dogs and cats my whole life. We have a sweet cat who absolutely loves every dog that comes through our home. We currently have a Great Dane and Great Pyrenees as well as chickens, 1 guinea pig, 2 rabbits and fish. I'm all about making sure our babies are happy and healthy and living the best life we can provide to them. After doing much research and lots of experience, I've learned a lot about a dog's language and how to respect them. I will treat your pets as if they are my own and will love on them just the same. I can't wait to meet your fur-babies! Rover is my full time job right now so I’m available to take care of your pup throughout the day as need be, whether that’s just hanging out or a walk or potty break, etc. I have a large fenced in yard and our 2 dogs will gladly keep your pup company and enjoy running around. I can easily crate if need be as well.
“I just moved to this area and needed a new boarding space for my dog and cat. The kennels seemed to be one or the other and not both, so I turned to Rover! Wendy had great reviews, repeat bookings (I have already booked my furbs second stay!), and the photos and descriptions of her place are true to form. Wendy sent me photos and videos throughout their stay, so I really felt connected to my pets while I had to travel for work! I highly recommend Wendy, she's a great person who truly loves our pets!”
“This was a great experience for our dog Lily, and therefore for us as well. This was our first time leaving our 3 year old golden, so we were a little apprehensive until we met Ashley and her 2 great dogs. We were gone for over a week and we never worried about our dog; we knew she was a good hands and getting lots of attention and great care. Ashley sent us pictures, videos, and updates. This was the first time Lily really had extended play with other dogs plus Ashley's kids; it was clear our dog was happy, safe, and probably didn't want to leave :-) Couldn't have asked for better care or a better experience. We highly recommend Ashley and hope to use her again soon!”
