“Mariah agreed to a meet and greet in advance of the scheduled date, and she was responsive to messages. Georgette seemed to have a great time with Mariah and her family. She was a tired pup after a day of frolicking with other dogs, and she fell asleep on our drive home. Everything seemed to go well. I will definitely consider using Mariah again!”
“Michelle (and her family) were great with taking my dog (Great Dane) very last minute for a few days. They treated my pup like he was their own, kept me up to date and made me feel comfortable with him there as this was our first time having to take our dog to someone outside our family. I would highly recommend Michelle.”
“We have been very happy leaving our Fur babies with Mike and Melanie. they send pictures and keep us updated all the time definitely recommend them!!! Take them on hikes and give them lots of attention. Thank you for taking care of our babies!! Debra M.”
“Hannah was great! Easy to book with and was very accommodating to our dogs' needs and allowed time for adjustment. I had no concerns at all that our dogs weren't perfectly cared for while with her! She sent photos and updates regularly to ensure me that everything was going well. Will definitely reach out the next time we need to board our dogs.”
“In all honesty we were panicking about leaving our boys. We have never left them with anyone but family and really didn’t know what to expect. However from the moment we dropped them with Amber and her amazing family we knew we didn’t have to worry anymore. She, her husband and kids were absolutely fantastic!! They took care of them as if they were their own, they kept us updated daily with pictures and tales of their adventures from each day and really put our minds at ease. I don’t think the dogs really wanted to leave and come back to us lol!! I would give them 10 stars if I could and will take our boys there every time we have to go anywhere!! Thank you so much guys ??”

She followed instructions, such as giving Ollie his enrichment toy and taking him outside. During the visit, there was an accident in the playpen that was not communicated to me and wasn’t fully cleaned up, and I also noticed Ollie’s water dish was empty.

About: My motto is that it's my responsibility to make sure that each dog under my care is HAPPY and SAFE. Every day that I'm with your pup, I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it's my duty to make sure that your pup gets to experience the same kind of love and care that they're used to at home. I'm a huge dog lover, so making pups as happy as I can, just comes second nature for me! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure that we're all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it's always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I'm a welcome presence here to make friends, and I'm sure we'll be best buddies in no time at all. I know how difficult it is to be away from your best friend, so communication is the name of my game. I'll make sure to send plenty of regular updates with accompanying pictures so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having! I’m hoping to make Rover a full-time career! That’s how much I love animals! I’m very flexible with all your pet caring needs so if there’s anything I can help with, please let me know! Although I'm unable to watch your pups at my home, I'll make sure they're safe at yours! I make sure I understand the pups needs, routine, and any specific care instructions provided by you, the owner. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, ensuring their environment is safe and clean, exercising them, and administering medications or treatments if required.

They are allowed on furniture and are spoiled with love and affection. We have a 60’x25’ oasis for pups that do not want to interact with mine and need separate living quarters while they stay. We are still very much around as it is part of the home and we hang out there a lot. There a door that opens up right to the fenced area where they go on potty breaks and have fun outdoors completely enclosed and my dogs won’t be allowed out while they are out. There’s always a tv on and I will have it on the dog channel for them. There’s couches for them to lay on and plenty of space to run and play. Ow if they do all become best pup friends well they will have the run of the house and play a lot! Someone is home all the time so your pup is never left alone. I offer drop off at 6am which is if your just dropping off. I have a family and to avoid them being disturbed you will only be able to drop off this early, not come in. If you’d like to come in it will have to be later in the day. Pick up: latest is 9pm unles otherwise confirmed. If you need earlier drop off you will have to schedule the night before. I have 2 fence in portions of the yard. Pups are never crated they live with us just like they are part of the family. I do have more than one dog staying at a time rover does not have an option to change this which I previously only took one client. I only take on dogs who are friendly with others and friendly with my children.

About: With 15 years of hands-on pet care experience—including a decade caring for a cat with Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH) and an elderly dog who required specialized support—I’m comfortable meeting a wide range of pet needs. I provide reliable, attentive care such as walks, feeding, playtime, and close adherence to established routines. These experiences have shaped me into a patient, compassionate, and dependable sitter who truly treats every pet like my own. I work from home in a flexible position, allowing me to adjust my schedule around both my own pets and the pets I care for through Rover. Being home throughout the day means your pet will receive consistent supervision, timely walks, feedings, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and companionship—never long stretches alone. I care for pets in my home by keeping their routines as normal as possible with regular meals, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, pets are rarely left alone and get plenty of supervision and companionship. I aim to create a calm, comfortable environment where pets feel safe and at home.
About: I have taken care of my own dog for 10 years, giving me hands on experience with daily routines, behavior, and long term care. My friends, family, and neighbors all trust me with caring for their pets whether that be through walking, feeding, and overall care. I am reliable and attentive, making sure everyone feels safe. I am currently working a part time flexible job so it will be very easy for me to have an open schedule to care for peoples pets. I always make sure whatever pet I am around that they feel comfortable with me. I will carefully listen and understand a pets routine making sure their routine doesn’t get off track. Safety of the animal always comes first to me and making sure they feel comfortable in the situation they are in.

“Mariah agreed to a meet and greet in advance of the scheduled date, and she was responsive to messages. Georgette seemed to have a great time with Mariah and her family. She was a tired pup after a day of frolicking with other dogs, and she fell asleep on our drive home. Everything seemed to go well. I will definitely consider using Mariah again!”
“Michelle (and her family) were great with taking my dog (Great Dane) very last minute for a few days. They treated my pup like he was their own, kept me up to date and made me feel comfortable with him there as this was our first time having to take our dog to someone outside our family. I would highly recommend Michelle.”
“We have been very happy leaving our Fur babies with Mike and Melanie. they send pictures and keep us updated all the time definitely recommend them!!! Take them on hikes and give them lots of attention. Thank you for taking care of our babies!! Debra M.”
“Hannah was great! Easy to book with and was very accommodating to our dogs' needs and allowed time for adjustment. I had no concerns at all that our dogs weren't perfectly cared for while with her! She sent photos and updates regularly to ensure me that everything was going well. Will definitely reach out the next time we need to board our dogs.”
“In all honesty we were panicking about leaving our boys. We have never left them with anyone but family and really didn’t know what to expect. However from the moment we dropped them with Amber and her amazing family we knew we didn’t have to worry anymore. She, her husband and kids were absolutely fantastic!! They took care of them as if they were their own, they kept us updated daily with pictures and tales of their adventures from each day and really put our minds at ease. I don’t think the dogs really wanted to leave and come back to us lol!! I would give them 10 stars if I could and will take our boys there every time we have to go anywhere!! Thank you so much guys ??”
