Personalized care for your dog or cat - Canistota

“Ashley took wonderful care of my two, very sweet, very spoiled dogs for a week. It's a long time for them to be away from home but she kept them busy walking & playing.”

Regan C.

“Melissa is absolutely fantastic!! We were new to Rover and we have a 7 month old puppy. We thought that no one would be willing to watch/take care of him while we were on vacation because he is still working on his potty training skills. Melissa welcomed us with open arms and took excellent care of our little Pip twice now. She sends us updates, pictures, videos and works with our time table on dropping off and picking up. We couldn’t be more happen with Pippen’s vaca-mom!”

Kent T.

“My dog has stayed with Angie multiple times now and loves it! Staying with Angie feels like going to Disney for him :) He loves all of the room to run around and has made friends with her dogs. He can't wait for his next stay!”

Susan D.

“Elizabeth is very responsive, seamless drop off and pick up, sent updates and truly cared for our dog! Overall very satisfied with the care she provided!”

Gabrielle H.

“Melissa‘s kindness, sincerity, and genuine warmth shine through from the moment you meet her. Her home has that same welcoming energy –comfortable safe and full of thoughtful touches. The meat-and-greet Melissa offered before the stay was generous and reassuring, and Copper, her pup, was the perfect host - basically the mayor of hospitality town! He welcomed Peanut like an old friend and immediately showed her around. Melissa was flexible, thoughtful, and attentive, and she sent photos and videos throughout Peanut’s stay that absolutely made my day. Peanut came home ready for a nap, content, and clearly well-cared for - the Holy Trinity of a perfect pup vacation! Copper even taught Peanut how to go down the stairs, which definitely deserves its own merit badge. I am grateful for people like Melissa who create a safe, honest, and welcoming space for visiting pups. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, trustworthy, and genuinely caring home for their dog. You almost want to ask if she offers human boarding too. Melissa is agem – five stars, many tail wags, and a standing ovation from Peanut.”

Meshael D.

“Excellent care for our pup! He loved it at Melissa’s house. He had such a good time playing, getting walks, and cuddles. Very well taken care of.”

Ari J.

“Amber and Calissa deserve a 10 star rating. This was our First time using Rover. I did not know what to expect. These ladies go above and beyond. I received many adorable pictures of Honey out walking, napping, and snuggling. Honey, even got to go to a baseball game and in a paddleboard ride. Thanks for everything ladies!!”

Chrystal S.

“Josie watched our dog for four days while we were gone on vacation. She was in communication with us throughout our trip. She was flexible with drop off and pick up times. From the pics we received, our dog looked like she had a lot of fun playing and relaxing too. She has been sleeping since we got her home.😊 I would book Josie again.”

Jenifer B.

“Shayla took excellent care of my dog, Sadie. She has a beautiful big fenced yard where Sadie and her dog played together. Every day, Shayla sent me texts with pictures and an explanation of how Sadie was doing. That was very thoughtful of her. I know Sadie will love to go back there again.”

Dan K.

“Tracy is great with our yorkie! Sends updates and makes him feel right at home. Her communication through booking process is also very quick.”

Akicia R.

“I will absolutely have Jaden watch my dog again! She was very sweet with her and sent lots of good messages and photos and videos! Oakley was in good hands!”

Michelle S.

“We feel confident Molly got the exercise and attention she needed while we were away! Lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay. Thank you!”

Britney B.

“Justin was great, and so understanding about leaving our “baby” with him!! He lives in a great neighborhood and Ollie got some good walks in. We knew we’d left him in the right hands! Thanks Justin, Ollie will be back!!”

Anne R.

“Marnie, Jeff, and their kids were absolutely amazing!! They sent us pictures everyday of our dogs and took such great care of them! We would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for a place for their dogs to stay!”

Sydney O.

“This is the f irst time I used Rover. I usually don't board Komen. When I picked him up he was actually happy. Usually he won't look at me for hours. He ran to me..then Mikayla then back. She kept me informed with texts and pictures. I am very satisfied and will use Mikayla again. You can see how muck she loves the dogs she boards. Thanks, Mikayla!!”

Kay B.

“We had an excellent experience with Jordan. She was flexible, friendly, and responsive. Our dog was well cared for, we received daily texts and photos, and we will definitely contact her again when we need to board our dog.”

Kristen H.

“Zach was great and put all my anxieties at ease!! Instantly knew my dog was in good hands with him. He updated me with pictures of my boy and his communication was great! Would 100% recommend him to anyone!”

Amanda A.

“My puppy had a great time with Samantha and Braden! She was excited at drop-off and happy and tired at pickup. They sent photos/updates while our dog was in their care. Kept things easy for us!”

Sarah P.

“They were super kind and approachable. We knew within a couple of minutes of meeting them that our kitties were in good hands. They kept us updated with how things were going and sent many pictures. We could see along the way that they didn't just do the basics for care, but also interacted with them as if they were there own pets. It was a great experience and we had no worries whatsoever.”

Madison also has a senior dog so it was nice for him to have a companion he could keep up with! She sent lots of pictures and updates during my trip that gave me the warm and fuzzies that my animals were in great care. I plan to book with her again soon! Thank you again Miss Madison!”

I can give updates on when they go to the bathroom. I can, also, send pictures of them.
