“Beth and Edward took excellent care of my dogs while away on vacation. I received daily texts with pictures and how they were doing. With their expert care, I had no stress or worry about them being boarded. Thank you for treating them like their own dogs. I will not hesitate to use again and recommend them for your boarding needs! Thanks again!!!”
“Susan and Kenny are very friendly and were accommodating to my last minute health issue. Rosie was well taken care of, given her meds and loved the outdoor area! I will use them again without worry.”
“We never have to worry when Tommy is at his home away from home. I know that I can leave him and he will be loved as though he were with me. We always appreciate the pictures and little notes. This stay was unique in that I had to contact Kathy and request to extend Tommy's stay because of a family member's health. Kathy was so accommodating and without hesitation kept Tommy two extra days. Tommy is already looking forward to his next "vacation"! Five stars is not enough!!!”
“I was so pleased with my dog’s stay with this boarder. She sent me daily updates and made sure I knew Oreo was being treated with the BEST care! This was my first experience leaving Oreo with a someone outside my family and all of my insecurities went away the very first day he was there. I would highly recommend her and will definitely reach out again if I need to leave Oreo again!”
“Bri I wanna thank you so much for your boarding service! You are God sent. You loved on my baby, kept me informed, sent pictures and treated him like your own. You took great care of my Brawny! I am looking forward to booking with you again! I appreciate you!!!”
“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”
“I think Duffie had a great time! He enjoys being one of the pack and Tara and Peter were good enough to send me some photos throughout his stay. I come to the Cleveland area once a year and I’ll definitely be boarding with them again.”
“Mel was the absolute best with our pup. She provided pics of Cali during our time away and even bathed her! Picking up a clean puppy was a real treat and far exceeded our expectations. Cali got to go on lots of walks and was completely worn out when she got home, which is quite an achievement for a lab!”
“Samantha was a kind and caring sitter! She sent lots of pictures and kept me updated on how my puppy was doing. She also has 2 small and very well behaved pups and this was great for socialization. Very happy to leave my puppy with Samantha.”
“Karma took care of our pup on New Years Day with short notice. She made sure Buffy got plenty of exercise and stimulation and was patient with her when she escaped the room she was supposed to be in. We will definitely be bringing Buffy back when we need a sitter”
“Wendy was fantastic! Our sweet Mae stayed with her for 10 days and she took wonderful care of our spunky girl! It was clear from the updates and photos that she adjusted to Wendy’s home the perfect balance of active play time and snuggles. Wendy was very quick and clear in her communications. I’d recommend Wendy’s oasis to any pet parent! :)”
“Summer was very flexible and accommodated unforeseen circumstances. She really treated Teddy like her own. He appeared to be right at home. Thank you for taking care of him.”
“Wonderful duo who has the biggest hearts for fur babies and I certainly plan to have my pup visit again! They were very communicative. Sent frequent updates of beautiful photography level photos ! I couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you guys ! Truly was amazing meeting you all and I can tell Elijah enjoyed himself thoroughly!”
“So happy I found Susan! Gus has so much fun staying with her and playing with Frank and the other pups that come in and out. I love the daily pictures and videos. This last trip, I had a flight cancellation and had to extend his stay, and Susan was so reassuring and helpful as I dealt with the stress of finding new flights and hotels.”
“Daniel and Rachel are always so accommodating and sends us many photos and videos of our Yote playing. He's always so happy to visit and pooped when we bring him home.”
“Lorie took great care of our senior dog who has lots of medical needs. She is warm and compassionate and clearly loves all of the doggies as her own. She sent us regular updates and pictures while we were away. We felt like our dog was in better care with Lorie than when we have boarded him at the vet - and he was definitely more comfortable with a home environment. Thank you, Lorie!”
“This was my 1st time boarding my dogs and I couldn’t have been happier with Kyle and his wife. I got daily updates and pictures. I could tell my babies were at ease from the very beginning and I have found my dog sitters!!!!!”
“Rachel was great, she made it convenient for me to drop my dog off for boarding, and when I picked him Up he jumped over to Rachel and gave her a big hug, I think he wanted to stay with her, he might like her more than me!!”
“Anna was wonderful with my pup and is just a special person who loves animals. Her home was amazing and is perfect for any dog. The backyard was a special treat for sure for my Chip. I cannot recommend Anna and her home enough. I knew my dog was very well taken care of and in great hands. Excellent communication as well. Thank you Anna and Gabe too 😘 ❤️”

About: I adore and have cared for cats for over two decades and am comfortable with all situations - cantankerous cats, hiding cats, cats requiring medicine, cats with quirks and loving friendly cats. My experience is both professional and for friends and family; I am experience with giving insulin and testing glucose, as well as giving oral medication and topical medication.
“Beth was wonderful! She came twice a day to feed/water/scoop for our two kitties while we were away. We received lots of updates and photos. The cats loved her and we were very happy with her care.”
“Our kitties love Gay!!! We never worry about our fur babies when Gay is checking on them. She spends time with them, gives them treats, and my shiest boy George actually goes right up to her hand with treats❤️.”
About: I have a sweet beagle that was rescued 7 years ago. I am fully responsible for his care, including feeding, walking, bathing, nail trimming, etc. I always check him for ticks after visiting a park and know how to safely remove them. I enjoy going for long walks, especially in summer, so would be glad to give your dog exercise. My kids have had goats, rabbits, chickens, turkeys, and ducks, which are all fun to play with, and I would be glad to care for your less-typical pets, if needed. I have even cared for lizards and snakes. I am a teacher, so have loads of time available in the summer. During the school year, I am available most weekends and after 4 on weekdays. I always keep dogs on leash when walking them...you never know when a squirrel or other dog will come by or how they will react.
“Ben did a stand-out job when it came to drop-in visits for our dog while we were out of town. He reviewed our request with such detail that he was able to spot a mistake I made with the booking & ultimately ensure that our dog got the best care under his watch. He offered to meet our pup before we left town & they hit it off right away! The picture updates Ben sent with each drop-in was proof that our dog was being treated well & was happy to see Ben each time he stopped by. We are so appreciative of Ben & the care he provided our dog while we were out of town.”
About: I've owned and cared for my own cat, giving me firsthand experience with feeding, maintaining litter boxes, playtime, grooming, and understanding feline behavior. I know that every cat has a unique personality, and I take the time to help each one feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or independent, I'll provide attentive, reliable care while keeping you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.
“Joel is awesome. Super nice guy, good communicator, easy to work with & has taken great care of our pup. Gives solid updates at the end of each visit. He goes above and beyond while dropping in at your house. For example - our dog got into our garbage before one visit & Joel cleaned up all the trash off the floor. We appreciate the care he takes in looking after our pup as well as our home. Definitely recommend!”
“Preston was an outstanding dog sitter over the Fourth of July holiday! From the very beginning, he went above and beyond by taking the time to meet our dogs beforehand, which made us feel completely at ease. Throughout our time away, he was incredibly caring, attentive, and communicative. When a storm blew through and knocked over our patio umbrella, breaking the glass table, Preston let us know right away and kept us updated on everything. We really appreciated his honesty and prompt communication during an unexpected situation. It’s clear that Preston genuinely cares about the pets he looks after. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate dog sitter!”
About: I have always been a cat lover 💕 I also have had dogs and lived with and cared for many other kinds of animals, but cats have always been my favorite! I have been fostering for more than 10+ years and am frequently the person people call when they have cat questions! I would love to help you and your furbabies 😊
“Brittney was great. My normally shy cats instantly took a liking to her, and she took great care of them while I was out of town. Would definitely hire her again.”
About: As an adult, I had 4 kitties for over 20 years. (I miss them every day.) Not only can I handle feeding, watering, and scooping, I can give oral medications and do subcutaneous injections as well.
About: I have been a nurse for 30 years but worked for veterinarians and in a shelter setting prior to that. I have had pets all my life and have experience fostering dogs. I currently have dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, goats, and a pig. I have a lot of flexibility and can make most situations fit my schedule. I have my own vehicle and look forward to making your pet feel as comfortable as possible. I am happy to play with your dog or cat, provide exercise, food, and medication if needed. I can do multiple drop ins a day. I truly love animals and will try to connect with your pets so they feel safe with me.
About: I grew up with dogs and as a kid, I took care of neighbor's dogs from time to time when they were away. My wife loves dogs as long as they belong to someone else. We have cats but I need to do something like this to get some time with dogs. I just retired from teaching after 31 years in the job. I go for walks every day and I thought why not walk with a dog. I am not able to watch dogs at my house. I have a geriatric cat that would probably have a heart attack. I am primarily looking to walk dogs, but I could dog sit over night at the client's house in a pinch.

“Brandon was amazing with our dog Dixie and made everything very easy. With this being our first time outside of family dog sitting he kept us in the loop with everything going on. We will definitely be booking with him again.”
“Karma was great with Chloe. She took good care of her for about 11 hours while we were visiting museums and eating out downtown. She played with Chloe and followed our requests when feeding her. She also sent us updates and a cute photo! Chloe was in good spirits when we picked her up and seemed to have enjoyed her day. We would definitely choose Karma again to take care of our dog.”
“Susan & Kenny are amazing! They are so kind and loving. Our dog had the best play day with all his new friends. We highly recommend them and can’t wait to bring our boy back to them.”
About: I have a loving home with plenty of space fenced and unfenced to run around. Designated room with separate crates available if needed. I currently have several clients that I pet sit at their homes. I currently am working full time with the flexibility to work from home when needed. I am available every day. Please provide at least 3 day notification for in Home or my home pet sitting. I have a large fenced in yard, 3 of my own wonderful golden duds to keep your fur baby company. I have the ability to crate if necessary. I also have several clients that I take care of their pets in their homes while on vacation or long weekends. References can be provided.
“I needed care for Lewey during the day when I had some things to do. Austin was available to watch Lewey. Very dependable, and he sent me a picture to update me on how Lewey was doing. It really makes me feel relaxed that Lewey is so excited when he sees Austin coming to the car to greet him. So thankful for this service as I don’t like to leave my dog at home alone for long hours especially on a beautiful day.”
“Pogo had his very first day at daycare with Flora, and we couldn't be happier with our choice! He seemed so at home there as he dove right into the fun activities Flora had planned. It was such a joy to see him having an amazing time! The warm welcome we received was simply amazing. Flora really took the time to understand Pogo’s schedule, which made everything go so smoothly. Knowing he was in such great hands was incredibly reassuring. Flora was just a quick call or text away if we had any questions. As a sweet touch, she left us a handwritten note about Pogo’s day with her, which really put our minds at ease and showed us how much fun he had and the care she took of him. We can’t wait to book with Flora again in the future!”
“This was Susan's first time taking care of Coco and I could not have been happier. She sent many videos and photos to keep me apprised of Coco's progress throughout the day. Coco is learning how to interact with other dogs and was a little skittish with Susan's dog when we arrived and Susan was very patient. I felt like Susan treated Coco like she was her own and that gave me so much comfort. I am very pleased and will look forward to entrusting Susan with Coco's care in the future!”
“100% would recommend S&J! I had an unique circumstance of coming from out of town for a family event and Sheila accepted my 8 month old pup, Reggie, for the day. She provided constant updates and made me feel comfortable leaving him for the day without them every meeting. Thank you so much!”
“Zarina took very good care of our fur babies. Even though my pups are painfully shy, she did well with them. I appreciate her and I will ask her to watch our pups again when in town in November.”
“Murphy was so excited to go to Leslie’s for the day! It had been awhile since he stayed away from home. I told him he was going there and he ran to the door to wait until we were ready to leave! I never need to worry because I know he is getting wonderful care!”
About: Hi! I’m Maria, and caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I’ve dedicated years of my life to. I have over 10 years of hands on experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace, I understand that every pet deserves care that’s tailored specifically to them. My partner and I work together as a team, which means your pets receive twice the attention, care, and reliability. Having two experienced animal lovers allows us to be flexible with scheduling and provide consistent, dependable care for your pets, whether you’re away for the day or an extended vacation. I offer: • Dog Walking • Drop-In Visits • House Sitting • Overnight Boarding • Puppy Care • Senior Dog Care • Medication Administration (if needed) • Lots of playtime, cuddles, enrichment, and exercise! I’ve cared for everything from tiny toy breeds to giant breeds, including dogs with anxiety, high energy, special routines, and unique personalities. I also have experience with cats and other household pets, so if your family includes more than just dogs, they’re in great hands too. When your pet stays with us or we care for them in your home, they’re treated like family. We stick to their normal routine as closely as possible because we know consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether that means long walks, endless games of fetch, quiet cuddle time, or simply keeping them company, we adjust our care to what makes your pet happiest. As pet owners ourselves, we understand how difficult it can be to trust someone with a member of your family. That’s why communication is one of our top priorities. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for. Our goal isn’t just to watch your pet. We want to become someone both you and your furry family member can trust for years to come. We’d love the opportunity to meet you and provide the same love, patience, and attention we give our own pets every single day. We can’t wait to meet your best friend! 🐾 One of us works full time, however the other stays at home and focuses on animals and etc. We’re always able to be flexible and accommodate everyone’s needs We always make sure to meet prior to bookings and if needed or wanted to I do like to send pictures and videos of your fur babies while in my care. I know everyone misses their little babies.
“Andrea is the absolute best!! I had to submit several requests with her at the last second but she made them all work and was sooo great with my dog! My dog can be weird with other dogs but Andrea was so great about keeping them separate while also providing tons of one on one time with my girl and working on tricks and training with her, as well as playing with her favorite toys!! Whenever I leave my dog with Andrea I can completely relax knowing that she will be super well taken care of! I can’t recommend Andrea highly enough!!!”
“This was the first time that we rover with Albert and the experience was extremely good. Our dog was happy and it was clear that he had a very good day playing with Albert’s dogs. I definitely recommend Albert and I will for sure book his services again.”
“Seymour lives his best life while staying with Tongyezhi and her family. It's tough to give Seymour the attention he deserves at home with two toddlers running around so it is a major relief to be able to have him do daycare where he can have the extra fun he is missing at home.”
“Clifford did an amazing job watching my dog, Zebo, today! From the moment I picked him up, I could tell he had a great time. He came back happy, energetic, and acting like he had puppy fever again — and he’s 11! 😂 That alone tells me he was well cared for and genuinely enjoyed his time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Zebo was in good hands. I truly appreciate the care and attention Clifford gave him and would absolutely trust him again for doggy day care. Highly recommend!”

About: Lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience. I’ve provided in home sitting, cared for friends pets, and have owned dogs my entire life. You can count on me for reliable, loving care just like they’re my own. Hi! I’m looking to make some extra income doing something I truly enjoy caring for pets. I’ve taken care of with all sorts of pets, have in home pet sitting experience, and have helped friends care for their pets over the years. Your angels will be in safe, caring hands. 😄 I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I always follow the owner’s instructions and routines to ensure consistency and peace of mind. I’ve worked with dogs that require extra attention, including those with medical needs or those who don’t do well around other animals. My goal is to build trust, provide dependable care, and keep your dog safe and happy while you’re away.
“Brandon jumped in for an emergency and took over the big walk of the day for 4 days in a row. First night in the dark! Bodhi loved him. Always a good walk!! Thanks, Brandon!! Char”
“Emily has been a FANTASTIC dog walker for my sweet, 85lb fur baby for the last few months. She goes above and beyond and I'm truly so grateful to have her. I fully trust her to take excellent care of Meeko and he LOVED her from the beginning.”
About: While growing up, I fed, watered, played with, and walked our family friends. I even picked up poop! As an adult, I've done it all, from cleaning major messes to administering meds. I love canines and felines of all varieties, from the smallest to the largest! I am available to care for your pet(s) throughout the business day. Although I am also doing some volunteer work, I keep a regular schedule. I will care for your pets according to your express instructions. They will be treated as my own with as much love and concern as I can provide.
About: I've been dog sitting for friends and family for several years and have grown very comfortable caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personalities. Spending time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, and I always make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it's going for walks, playing outside, providing companionship, sticking to a feeding schedule, or simply giving extra attention and affection, I'm happy to adapt to each pet's unique needs. As an active college athlete, I have plenty of energy for long walks and playtime, but I'm also patient and attentive with dogs who prefer a calmer environment. My goal is always to provide reliable care and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. Pet care is something I take seriously, and I have a schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention and flexibility. I work part-time as a lifeguard, which gives me the ability to take breaks throughout the day to check on pets, take dogs for walks, provide potty breaks, feed pets, or attend to any other needs they may have. In addition, I am generally available during mornings, evenings, and overnight hours, allowing me to spend quality time with pets and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Whether your pet needs an active companion, a consistent routine, or simply someone to keep them company, I have the time and dedication to provide reliable, attentive care. My experience caring for pets comes from raising my own two rescue dogs. When my family first brought them home, they were nervous, hesitant around people, and not always easy to handle. Like many rescue animals, they needed time, patience, and consistency before they felt comfortable in their new environment. Over the years, I have helped them build confidence through daily routines, training, exercise, and plenty of love and attention. Watching them grow from uncertain rescue dogs into friendly, affectionate companions has taught me a great deal about animal care. It showed me that every pet has a unique personality and that building trust often takes patience and understanding. Today, caring for my dogs is a regular part of my life. I feed them a combination of wet and dry food twice a day, take them on walks throughout the day whenever my schedule allows, and make sure they get the exercise, attention, and affection they need to stay happy and healthy. One of my dogs also experiences seasonal allergies and requires medication during certain times of the year, so I am comfortable following care instructions and administering medications when needed. Because of these experiences, I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for someone else's pet. Whether a pet is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, young or old, I strive to provide a safe, comfortable environment where they feel secure, cared for, and loved while their owners are away.
“Debbie is the best Rover out there!! She is such a gem of a person and my dogs LOVE her. She is there for us last minute. We are so grateful to have found her❤️”
About: I’ve been walking and watching dogs since I could ride my bike around my hometown by myself. My family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers have always been able to rely on me to provide their pups with long walk or runs, feedings, baths (when needed), and endless cuddles (if consented to by said pup). I work full-time in Chagrin Falls; however, with a high-energy dog of my own, my free time is usually spent with him outside hiking or playing fetch in parks and on trails in the area. At this time I’m not offering boarding services. My apartment only allows for my service dog (PSA) to be with me there, unfortunately. But I’m more than happy to come house sit! As long as my pup Strider is welcome.
About: I have walked dogs ever since I was little. I have also always been trusted to dog sit and house sit for family and friends. I take caring for pets very seriously because they are my favorite too! I’m a recent college grad looking to provide pet care! I’m available pretty much any day of the week. I have a friendly dog and can take walks and play. I also am going into training so I might practice or work with any pets if possible! For now I just offer house sitting or drop in visits for walks or other needs. I love a good play time in or outdoors and go on walks.
About: I grew up with 3 dogs (2 rhodesian ridgebacks, and one mutt). When my family travels, I often house & pet sit the dog and cats. I have experience walking dogs of many sizes, and know basic commands. I am also comfortable with cats, as I grew up with them as well. I work from my home, so I have flexibility to walk around my daily meeting schedule. I truly miss having a dog of my own, but have a tricky travel schedule that does not allow it now :( I usually know my meeting schedule a few days in advance, and in general it is pretty regular. I can usually end my day by 4 pm and start earlier, around 7 am. Looking forward to working with you and your dog!
“We hired Megan to check in on our puppy while we were out for a long afternoon, and she was fantastic! She was prompt with communication, very professional, and most importantly, incredibly caring with our pup. Having Megan there gave us real peace of mind knowing our puppy was in good hands. She sent photo updates throughout the visit, and we could clearly see how happy and relaxed our puppy was. We would absolutely recommend Megan to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!”

“Gay was awesome! We were staying in our RV at a local campground and wanted to do a day of sightseeing. Gay came to out RV twice, then nice to meet our pup and us, and then again to walk the dog while we were away. She was kind, helpful and obviously loves dogs! Highly recommend!”
About: I have owned and cared for more than 50 animals in my 38 years 🥰 I currently have a 3 year old cat, a 2 year old cat, and a 1 year old cat. I had 2 dogs over the course of almost 19 years (12 years old and 16 years old when they passed). I grew up with skunks, cats, dogs, hamsters, lizards, and more. I also have been fostering with local rescues for more than 10 years. Overall, I am just a big animal lover and find joy in watching other people's fur babies 🥰 I work from home full time, which allows me to have a flexible schedule. Evenings, weekends, and overnights can also be arranged. If you need anything overnight I prefer to stay at your home with your pets so they are comfortable and can stay in their normal routine. Let's discuss your needs! I am happy to follow whatever instructions you have for me to care for your furbabies! I know each pet is different. Generally, dogs go out to potty several times a day, as well as need fresh food and water daily. Cats also need fresh food and water daily, plus cleaning their litter boxes at least once a day.
About: I've had dogs off and on my entire life but it wasn't until we adopted our baby girl Coco that I really fell in love. We had 13.5 wonderful years with her, then after she passed we decided to foster dogs in her honor and have been doing this since Sept. 2020 with several local organizations. We have fostered 25 dogs and have sat 26 dogs to date, including puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with behavioral and medical special needs. Our pricing reflects the peace of mind of knowing that your pet is well cared for and part of our family during their stay with us. Or for in house sitting, we are mature, reliable and trustworthy and treat your home like our own. We look forward to hearing from you! My husband and I are retired so we are very flexible in our schedule and decided we want to do something meaningful and enjoyable in our retirement. We have a large 1.5 acre lot with a pond on property. It is very serene and peaceful here. Our yard is only partially fenced so we keep the dogs on leash when walking outside. We make frequent potty breaks and like to take dogs for walks in the woods behind our house. They dogs usually sleep on a bed on the floor in our bedroom but will be crated if we have to leave the house for their own safety.
“Christy is very professional, flexible, and loving with my dogs!! Needed help with a couple walks per week with my pups with my new work schedule. It has been a very smooth process and very appreciative of her help!”
About: I live in an apartment at Kent State and am back and forth from Solon in the summer! My dog at my parents home is very reactive and we have been with many trainers to calm him down. I have much experience with dogs like him and learned from trainers. I have sat for various owners over the last few years and always enjoy keeping animals company! I am a college student! I live in a pet friendly apartment with a nice outside area. I have a very open schedule and would be open to helping anyone out at any time! I always make sure to have the pet's water and food stalked up and clean up the surrounding areas for the owner. I always make sure to leave the space looking better than when I arrived. I cannot house pets at my home due to my reactive animal but I am 100% willing to come to you!

“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”
“I think Duffie had a great time! He enjoys being one of the pack and Tara and Peter were good enough to send me some photos throughout his stay. I come to the Cleveland area once a year and I’ll definitely be boarding with them again.”
“Karma took care of our pup on New Years Day with short notice. She made sure Buffy got plenty of exercise and stimulation and was patient with her when she escaped the room she was supposed to be in. We will definitely be bringing Buffy back when we need a sitter”
“Wonderful duo who has the biggest hearts for fur babies and I certainly plan to have my pup visit again! They were very communicative. Sent frequent updates of beautiful photography level photos ! I couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you guys ! Truly was amazing meeting you all and I can tell Elijah enjoyed himself thoroughly!”
“Daniel and Rachel are always so accommodating and sends us many photos and videos of our Yote playing. He's always so happy to visit and pooped when we bring him home.”
“This was my 1st time boarding my dogs and I couldn’t have been happier with Kyle and his wife. I got daily updates and pictures. I could tell my babies were at ease from the very beginning and I have found my dog sitters!!!!!”
“Rachel was great, she made it convenient for me to drop my dog off for boarding, and when I picked him Up he jumped over to Rachel and gave her a big hug, I think he wanted to stay with her, he might like her more than me!!”
“Anna was wonderful with my pup and is just a special person who loves animals. Her home was amazing and is perfect for any dog. The backyard was a special treat for sure for my Chip. I cannot recommend Anna and her home enough. I knew my dog was very well taken care of and in great hands. Excellent communication as well. Thank you Anna and Gabe too 😘 ❤️”
“Stephanie was awesome! She let me bring Ruby out to meet her and her husband before the stay. Ruby enjoyed her 2 dogs and stephanie even sent me pictures the whole stay!”
“Colleen was absolutely wonderful! She has a calm demeanor and was so loving to my Poppy while away for a week. I received daily updates and loved seeing through photos the bond Poppy and her lab, Peaches, developed. In fact, tonight a yellow lab appeared on the TV in an ad and Poppy went wild barking. I think she already misses her new friend and it has at even been 24 hours. I will most certainly use Colleen for future boarding.”
“They helped me out TONS by watching my Shih Tzu for about 6 days. I’ve never used Rover before, so I was a little hesitant at first. Everything went smooth and they were flexible on drop off & pickup times since we drove all day. My dog seemed extremely comfortable @ pickup and we got several pics throughout the week! I would definitely book with them again.”
“Takia was very responsive and kind! We received daily updates of our pups and we were able to see that they were being treated very well. We had a hiccup with their pills but it was handled professionally and quickly. We would definitely recommend her and book again with her 💗”
“Hayley was so easy to work with and took great care of our dog! She provided plenty of updates and pictures throughout the stay! Our dog and hers got along perfectly. We will absolutely be using Hayley's services again in the future!”
“I recently relocated to NC and after having a great Rover family where I came from, it was important to find a new Rover home where I felt my best buddy, Ollie was happy. After one visit, I think I found one! OllIe loves to play with other dogs and Austin expressed how happy Ollie appeared playing chase at Austin’s home with his dogs. Since Ollie got home, he’s been himself, but slept most of the day his first day home. Clearly he was tired! Thanks Austin.”
“Mike took great care of our dog Honey. We made arrangements close to the date we needed care, and Mike gladly took on Honey. Routine pictures were really appreciated and Honey seemed quite content staying with Mike. Would definitely recommend and use his services again.”
