Highly-rated overnight sitters - Huntimer
“Melissa, her family and home were amazing for our gals! Our shy and skittish gals felt VERY comfortable with the family immediately and loved the toy box. The girls were very well taken care of, had a blast, loved playing with their dogs and were tired when we got home. We got pictures and videos while we were away which we loved!!! We will definitely be booking with her again. THANK YOU!!!!!”
“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!”
“Jayne and her family are great with Kira... Jayne's very responsive and sends a daily update, which I really appreciate! I trust Kira is in good hands when she's with Jayne!”
“Krysten & family were so great! We were able to have nice peace of mind Leo was very well taken care of during our long weekend. Krysten sent many picture and video updates to let us know Leo was happy! Highly recommend Krysten & family!”
“Highly recommend Melissa. Her replies are quick, within moments, she cared for Addie for the day and I returned to a very calm happy pup. It was cute when we arrived her mini Aussie ran out to greet my dog and was very sweet and put us both at ease quickly. Will book again.”
“Anna was amazing! This was our first time doing an in home dog boarding and I couldn’t be happier that I chose Anna! She was very quick to respond to my inquiry and quick to communicate. She was very accommodating and I loved that she sent photos during Nova’s stay! She has a beautiful home and a great fenced in backyard. We were also happy to hear that she doesn’t take a lot of pets at once because Nova doesn’t get along well with other dogs and a lot of places won’t take her because of that. We go out of town often so having this option is relieving and we are grateful. Our Nova will definitely be back!”
“Paige was so friendly! She was an amazing communicator and sent us constant updates on how our ‘baby’ was doing. You can tell our dog was really loved on! I would definitely rebook with Paige!”
“Deb is just the best sitter for my dog Pepe. She’s kind, caring, soft spoken, and he snuggles with her as if he were home! I feel so lucky to have found such an awesome caretaker for my little boo!😁🥰”
“Regan is phenomenal! My dog has so much fun, she’s well taken care of, and I have peace of mind. I recommend her to anyone who has a hard time feeling comfortable leaving their dog behind.”
“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.”
“Josie was wonderful with my dog while I was away for eleven days. She provided regular updates and was clearly attentive to my dog’s needs. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and felt completely at ease during my vacation knowing my dog was in good hands. I’d happily recommend Josie and would definitely ask her again.”
“Shayla is very responsive and great to work with. She treats your dog like one of her own. She has an awesome large fenced in back yard with so much space to play. I loved all the pictures and updates she sends. Will definitely be back for more stays!”
“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.”
“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!”
“We are so happy we had Larysa watch our dog Millie while we were out of town! She treated our pup like one of her own and sent us lots of updates so we felt at ease that she was in great hands. We will definitely use Larysa again and Millie will be so excited to go back!”

“This was my first time using Rover and/or boarding our cat. Maria was so kind and thoughtful with answering all my questions and giving updates! Every picture she sent really showed how comfortable my cat was getting and that she was making sure to give him love and attention. We would absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone.”
“Miss Madison is amazing! She took such great care of both my babies. She boarded my senior dog and did drop in visits on my cat. 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!”

About: I have lived on a farm my whole life therefore I am very familiar with dogs! I have worked at a vet clinic before so I am comfortable with different breeds:) I recently had a baby girl and I would love to stay home with her as much as possible! So in order to do so… I’d love to get active again and take your dogs on walks and/or get out of the house to drop in and visit your pets! Living on a farm has never required me to walk my dogs but I feel that I am responsible and trustworthy enough to walk your dog(s) safely! I know how important your pets are to you and I will do everything to keep them safe and healthy!
