“Bobbi is great! She took great care of our dog, and was very flexible when we had some last minute changes to our booking. We would definitely bring our dog to stay at Bobbi’s again - thank you!!”
“Emily was fantastic! Our dog loved every minute of being there. She was very communicative during our week long vacation and made sure to send lots of photos of our Pen getting loved on. We will absolutely be booking with Emily for any future trips or just for a small pooch vaca for our dog. We highly recommend!”
“Anu and her family are wonderful and took amazing care of our Daisy while we were on vacation. It is clear that they love dogs and are very knowledgeable caring for them. Discussed food, meds, routine and behaviors ahead of time. Great communication and appreciated the many photo and video updates while we were away. I would definitely book with Anu again.”
“Krystal's love of dogs is evident and her current bestie, Duke, was a welcoming partner! We left our sweet Piper with Krystal for a week and Piper seemed to adjust well and was in good spirits when we picked her up. I think she even missed Krystal and Duke for a day or so after we returned home! Krystal kept us abreast of how Piper was doing and was responsive to our questions. I was amazed by how unfazed she was by the cold, wet weather that hung over the Fox Valley the week we were away; seemingly taking the additional 4 muddy paws in stride! We would happily re-book with Krystal the next time we need to leave town.”
“I want to thank Bobbie and Clark for their excellent care of Leo. They helped us out on very short notice due to a prior cancellation. Daily communication with pictures. I know Leo was well taken care of. I would highly recommend Bobble and Clark.”
“Chase & Jessica were very welcoming to my Chihuahua, Chip! I appreciated the help with my pup & their updates & flexibility were great as well! Thank you both!! If you're looking for a dog-sitter, don't hesitate with Chase/Jessica!”
“Kristina took great care of my puppy, sent lots of photos and treated her like her own! After 4 nights my young one came back even better behaved which was a blessing.”
“Korri was able to help us out in a pinch and took our dog over the long weekend! She took SUCH good care of him and treated him as her own! She sent us updates and many pictures!!! She was very timely with her response and we never worried about if our dog was in good hand our whole trip! ?Thanks again Korri!”
“Laura was friendly and made the whole process of setting up the sitting arrangement so easy to work with. The communication was great—we received regular, fun updates and photos of our dog, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was being well-cared for and having a blast. We highly recommend!”
“Gina provided complete security and peace of mind for our first time leaving Charlie for an extended length of time. Communication was consistent and detailed with adorable photos. Absolutely will use Gina again in the future, highly recommend”
“Chelsea is Simply Awesome!! She loved on our 2 puppies for a long 10 days while our family enjoyed a very needed vacation. She sent pics and videos each day while we were away!! She was there to comfort our pups when they missed us❤️ We were able to enjoy our time away knowing our pups were in Great hands!! We will be looking up Chelsea for all of our future needs!! Thank you, Chelsea❤️”
“Sarah was an excellent cat sitter! She responded to my last minute request very quickly and kept in contact throughout the stay. She was also flexible with our drop off and pick up changes. I think our kitten had such a good time that she did not want to leave. Would highly recommend Sarah and will use her pet sitting service again.”
“It was our first time using Rovers and leaving our dog, PJ, with someone who was not family. Mark and Susan were great with her and provided us updates over the weekend while away. Appreciated them having a meet & greet prior to us leaving her for the weekend. PJ got lots of walks and attention and was very content under their care. Overall, a great first experience. We will definitely reach out to them in the future when are in need of care for PJ.”
“Frank and Julie are the best! They are very responsive and give great updates with pictures and videos. They have a nice big fenced in area where our pup loves to run around. It’s hard for us to leave our pup, but we know she is in good hands with Frank and Julie. Highly recommend!”
“Savannah did a wonderful job taking care of our little pooch for two nights. She was very accommodating of our schedule and we greatly appreciated it. We will not hesitate to have her watch him again! Both of our Rover.com experiences so far have been 5 star!”
“Kathy did a great job. She came through for me at a moments notice when my boarder had a cancellation. Her dogs did well with my boy. He came home happy and tired which is a good thing.”

“Travis was fantastic with our kitties! We hired him to stay with them and we couldn’t be happier with his services. We got multiple updates with pictures, and came home to a well kept home. Very reliable, great communication, and overall just a very nice person whose love for animals is obvious when you meet him. We’ll hire him again. 10 / 10 would recommend Travis.”
About: I grew up with 2 cats in my home as a kid until I moved out for college. The only thing keeping me from being a cat lady are my child's allergies. I also help out family and close friends when they are out of town. I'm not afraid of a litter box or a little throw up/hair ball. I understand I'm earning their respect as well :) I would love to be the person to check in on your loved one while you are out of town or working long days and provide a social visit, top up snacks and water, and clean up if needed. I am an RN and have experience with medication administration with dogs.
About: If your smaller non-shedding dog (up to 40 lbs) does not care for other pets, I'm your sitter! There are no other pets in my house, and I specialize in dogs who do not like other animals. I have owned and loved dogs my entire adult life. In retirement I've chosen not to own one, but I miss those little guys so much and would love to love on your precious pet. I am retired and can fully care for your smaller (up to 40#), potty-trained, non-shedding dog. On weekends in the summer I may talk to you about your friend joining me at my camper. I will provide care for your smaller non-shedding dog without other animals in my home. Perfect for those cuddlers who would rather not have competition for my attention!
“Sara was lovely! Easy to work with and great communication. She made friends with our very shy kitty which means the world to us! Our cats were very well cared for by her. We will use Sara’s services again in the future!”
“Corynne, thank you so much for coming by and helping out with Sunday and Cooper today! I’m honestly so relieved and happy with how well the visit went. I really appreciate your detailed update and the care you showed. We’ll definitely be reaching out to you again in the near future. Thank you as well for being so respectful of our home! You went above and beyond!”
About: Available for doggy day care as well as overnight and long term boarding in our home. Experienced in taking care of cats, dogs, and small animals of all ages and needs. My partner and I have owned and sat several dogs and cats for the past 20 years. I will take care of your pets like they are my own, and will thoroughly follow any instructions provided for their care. I am able to take dogs on walks as much as needed and am close to both the Appleton and Kaukauna dog parks. I currently own 3 small dogs and 2 cats, 4 of which are rescues. I live in a quiet area of Kaukauna and am available most nights and weekends. Hope to hear from you! I work from home at least 2 days per week and my fiancée works from home full time. We do not work weekends. It’s common for us to have visiting dogs hanging in our home offices with us during their stay meaning your dog will get lots of attention from us! We make sure to monitor any visiting dogs multiple times per day, provide separation with multiple gates in our home when needed, always watch during feeding times, and provide regular updates on how your dog is doing with photos.
“My regular pet sitter was unavailable so I am a first time Rover user. Briana took the time necessary to understand Chewy’s personality and needs. Chewy is a very shy cat but came out for pets during Briana’s visits. I will definitely book Briana again if my pet sitter is busy.”
“Jada was great with my cat. I can always tell when Lucy receives a lot of attention while we’re gone because she is not yelling (meowing loudly) at us when we arrive home! Jada was also willing to bring in mail, porch packages and do some watering of outdoor plants.”
“Rebecca is amazing!!! Our cat, Nox, absolutely adores her. We also really appreciate the quality of care and and how Rebecca sent us daily updates about how Nox was doing while we were away. Thank you, Rebecca!!!!!”
About: I very much enjoy taking care of animals on my free time! I have over 8 years of experience with dog and cat sitting! I also have worked at a daycare and boarding facility to meet the needs to pets that come to stay and play! I have an open schedule to provide sitting for your pet! I currently have one young beagle who lives with me! And I know I can make time to help others who have pets that may have a busy schedule! I am accommodating for your pets needs and will provide caring and fun experience for your pet! I love to reward your pet for good behavior and to connect a stronger relationship with your pet!
About: I started being around cats about five years ago and have really grown to enjoy taking care of them. During that time, I helped care for a senior cat who needed regular medications, which taught me a lot about being patient and attentive with older pets. I also currently have my own cat, so I’m used to the daily care that comes with feeding, playtime, and making sure they’re comfortable and happy.
“Sarah was an excellent cat sitter! She responded to my last minute request very quickly and kept in contact throughout the stay. She was also flexible with our drop off and pick up changes. I think our kitten had such a good time that she did not want to leave. Would highly recommend Sarah and will use her pet sitting service again.”
About: I’ve been around cats my entire life and understand that every cat has their own unique personality and comfort level. I currently have a cat of my own and also care for kitty clients through my pet care business. Whether your cat is playful and social or shy and independent, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box care, playtime, medication if needed, and giving cats the patience and gentle attention they deserve.

“Emily took such good care of our Obi! Emily and her family took him in like their own! She sent pictures and updates throughout the day and was very attentive to all our puppy’s needs 😊 🩷 Would highly recommend Emily for all your pets needs!”
“We had a last-minute Rover request, and Bobbi responded quickly and made booking easy. Even though it was a short stay, we could tell our dog had a great time especially with Mercy, their adorable pug! Bobbi shared updates and photos, and Nova seemed to really enjoy their spacious backyard. Bobbi was so kind and welcoming. We’d absolutely recommend her to others!”
“Quite gracious and friendly. Bobbie and Clark were most accommodating on short notice. They were great with our dog who clearly had a terrific time in Bobbie and Clark’s wonderful care.”
“Cristy was amazing! Her home was so cute and tidy. She has a sweet little dog that played so well with my dog whom normally doesn’t care much for others. Cristy was kind, communicative, and flexible.”

“Love using Sarah for dog sitting! She is so flexible and I can always count on her with last minute bookings! Frankie leaps out of my arms to go greet her family and pups ❤️ Will continue bringing frankie ❤️”
“This was a last minute need so it was great he could watch Cody with very short notice. Cody is an older dog and does not take change well, so it was fantastic he was excited to return the next day which means Cody really enjoyed his stay. Great care and communication! Cody was all smiles!”

My last Sheltie Cooper passed 10/2020 and I would love to care for your precious fur baby. I am an active retired female with lots of time & energy to care for your loved one.

About: Since childhood, I have been responsible for the care of various animals, including dogs, cats, and small animals of diverse species. Among these, dogs hold a special place in my heart as my favorite animal. As a full-time stay-at-home mother, I am constantly at home with my children and dogs. During the summer months, we thoroughly enjoy spending time outdoors. I have a spacious backyard that is not fenced in, but I have a long tie-out if needed for your furry friends. Your pets will be well cared for.
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, horses, ducks, and rabbits. I also had a great deal of time with other animals such as cows, and chickens at my Grandpa's dairy farm. One of my past jobs was being a dog sitter, to care for them, and do some training as well. I loved it! 🙂😁 I now have a German Shepard and Husky mix named Apollo, and I love teaching him new things, spending time with him, and of course taking care of him. 🥰❤️ I'm currently working as a house cleaner, and although I love the job, I would like to work some more hours. Sometimes clients cancel or reschedule cleanings resulting in less hours. I'm looking to do this hopefully full time, as I miss working with dogs. 🙂😁 I currently have a huge yard, but I can also give walks if suggested. I'm welcoming any animals except cats due to my boyfriend being allergic. I will do my very best to help any of your fur babies feel at home. 💌😁
“Highly recommend Chelsea! She was very easy to communicate with and was able to take Voss on short notice when we had to be in town unexpectedly. My dog had a fun day playing with her dogs in the fenced back yard and house. She even trimmed his nails for us which was really great. We’ll be back if we need care in Oshkosh again!”
About: I have trained puppies, and dealt with animals who needed medicine or injections daily and blind dogs! I’ve also worked with different breeds because i volunteered at a shelter for awhile! I currently only work part time, so I do have lots of time to be taking great care and spending time with your pet! monday-sunday i’m available, after 2pm works best for me! I have a big fenced in yard, and two other dogs as well to keep your pet company, I also own a crate for big and small dogs if needed, I have many treats and lots of toys as well!
“Kimberly and her sweet son were so kind and welcoming. She was very conscientious of my dog's needs and sent many photos/updates throughout the day. Playtime and trails walks wore her out! She slept the whole way home. Thank you for taking such good care of our Emma!”
About: I love taking care of dogs. I will walk your dog in the Spring, Summer and Fall in good weather. Your dog will have my 3 year old Maltese to play with. I’m CPR trained and if needed, with calling you first, take your dog to my home town ER hospital (hope we never need to use that). Your dog must be potty trained for outside. My grandchildren all love dogs, they visit sometimes. I have been with dogs all my life. So rest assured I’ll take care of your dog while I take care of mine and my grandchildren. I will have play time and potty breaks. Will try to teach your dog new tricks. I’ve taken training classes with Pet Smart. You won’t regret placing your pet with me.
About: I have had pets all my life! Including dogs, cats, geckos, and fish. I am super passionate about dogs especially, as is my husband. I have dog sat for numerous families in the past, and would love to put my skills to use by hosting pets, and dog walking! We are an incredibly dog friendly house, where dogs are treated as humans. We have a sweet two year old hound mix named Charlie. He LOVES all people and dogs, and would also love some friends to play with! We have done training classes with him, and are very knowledgeable about dogs. We would love to share our passion with you, and your furry friends! I am also a moderator for an online group as well!
“This is the second time I’ve booked with Don for doggy daycare. He sends photo and video updates throughout the day and takes time to ensure my dog is having fun at him home! There is lots of space for him to run and play outside. Don is the best when it comes to communicating and caring for my pup.”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Sherwood
About: I've been taking care of animals since I was ten years old. From walking, feeding, caring for and playing with my own dogs and cats, to walking and dog sitting neighbors' and friends' pets, I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, activity levels, and sizes. Additionally, I have experience providing medication to both cats and dogs, having had pets who required medication. I'm currently a full-time college student. Outside of school I don't work, so my afternoons, evenings, and weekends are usually pretty open to stop by and let pets out, walk them, feed them, spend time with them, or whatever else you may need. When I go back home to visit, I love being able to walk my dogs, play with them, and spend time with my cat. Pet care has been part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. I absolutely love my two dogs and cat and enjoy taking care of them. I treat all other animals as they are my own, showing them the same love, care, and respect that I show my own pets.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and until a few years ago was a dog mom for 13 years. She was an anxious and high energy middle size dog who took daily medication and I wish I would have been able to take advantage of a service like this. I understand how hard it is to be a working household, and I would love to help. I also dog sit in my home for family and close friends, including dogs that need daily medication and am comfortable with that. I work from home with a flexible schedule and long lunch break and would love to be the trusted person to give your pet a mid day potty break, social visit, or walk. I live in the country on 5 acres, there is no fencing. Our neighbors are not close but they do have dogs. There are outside cats that meander through as well.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up helping care for our family labs, and now I have a sweet red lab of my own named Ravioli. We spend a lot of time going on walks, playing at the park, and just enjoying being outside together—so I know how important it is for dogs to get both exercise and attention. I’m also a teacher, which means I have a very flexible schedule—especially during the summer—so I’m able to offer consistent care, walks, and drop-ins when many others aren’t available. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve helped look after my neighbors’ dogs, making sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I treat every dog like they’re my own, paying attention to their unique personality, energy level, and needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just some company, I’d love to help. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog! Availability During the school year, I work weekdays but still have some limited availability for walks or drop-ins depending on timing. I’m most consistently available on weekends. In the summer, my schedule opens up significantly as a teacher, which allows me to be available most days for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I’m flexible and happy to work with your schedule to make sure your dog gets the care and attention they need! Safety, Trust & Environment Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure dogs are securely leashed on walks, closely supervised, and cared for in a safe, calm environment. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior, energy level, and any specific instructions you provide to ensure they feel comfortable and happy. I’m reliable, communicative, and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your dog is doing. Having a dog of my own, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. Whether I’m caring for your dog in your home or taking them out for a walk, I strive to create a positive, stress-free experience for both you and your pup.
“Bango seems to really enjoy his walks with Travis! I LOVE the pictures I get of Bango that Travis takes during the walks. Travis is very accommodating for whatever you need!”
“Briana came out and walked my dog for me for a week while I had longer working hours. Duke loved her, she was prompt and had great communication! I so appreciated her coming out of her way to get him out and will absolutely be booking again!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life. Currently, we have two cats, which is easier with our sports schedule, but I miss having a dog to walk. So, I thought I'd see if you needed help with yours. I'm working part-time and own a business. Both provide me flexibility to be there when your dog needs me. My kids are old enough for me to be gone for short stints. Prefer walking schedules during, morning, afternoon, or late evening as those provide me the best opportunity to give your pets the attention they deserve. Experience walking dogs with leash aggression. Can typically recognize it in your dog or the dogs we are approaching. Will always keep animals leashed in public.
About: I’ve had and taken care of many different breeds in my lifetime, mostly medium to smaller mixed breeds and I’ve also taken care of doodles I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats that I spend my days with. Always start with a morning walk down our local hiking trail We have gates to keep them in safe spaces including keeping our daughter away from them if necessary but she’s also very gentle with them

About: Hi! I’m new on Rover so would love to build some clientele! You will not be disappointed:) I’ve grew up with dogs my whole life and rescued my own about 2 years ago. I do help out with family members animals when needed. I would probably say I love animals more than people haha. You will definitely find me by them if they are around. In my free time I love hanging out with my Lucy girl and walking and checking out new spots or doing anything outside. My availability is pretty much open whenever except Thursdays as I work all day. I can dog sit, check in, board and walks whenever is needed! I am more familiar with dogs but I will care for any animal like my own! I currently have a pretty open schedule except Thursdays.

“Madalyn is consistent and flexible on scheduling walks! She was so kind to my dog when she realized he was scared of a thunderstorm! She sat with him and came back later to walk him when the storm was over.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and started walking dogs when I was 11 years old. Over the years, I’ve had experience with dogs, cats, and many other pets of my own. I am comfortable with pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels, including senior pets, rescues, and shy animals who need extra patience and care. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love building trust with each pet and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care is my full-time and only job, so I’m able to offer flexible scheduling, dependable communication, and plenty of attention for your pets. I’m typically available all days of the week, including daytime hours, with occasional exceptions depending on scheduling and personal appointments. I truly love what I do and treat every pet as if they were my own. I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. During drop-in visits, I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level while providing plenty of care, affection, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, meals, medications if needed, and cleanup. I understand that trust is incredibly important when someone is caring for both your pets and your home, so I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to details. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs a little extra patience, I’ll make sure they feel loved and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I've spent my entire life having animals and loved them for my entire life. I've had cats my entire life, and often this is not lent itself well to me also owning a dog. We currently own three cats one 12 year old lady, and two 2 year old brothers. When I was young I would walk the neighbor's dog just so I could get some dog time in. In college and after college I had several roommates who had dogs I lived with, who I would also help care for either just for fun or while they were gone. I have also taken care of friends dogs while they are out of town on vacation. I have experience with cats from 6 weeks old all the way up to end of life. I have experience in giving cats medication, special diets, special instructions and any other quirks your cat may have. I'm experienced in walking dogs, playing with dogs, feeding dogs (including special diets) and while I love larger dogs, I currently am unable to care for them due to a medical condition and it only able to care for a small dogs. I'm currently taking a break from my career and have very flexible availability, both during the week and on the weekends. I do request 24 hours notice. I will take care of your pets with the instructions you leave me with. I will rely on you as the pet parent to make all major decisions and follow your rules as best as possible. I am great with communication and will regularly communicate with you to show you how your pets are doing while you're out of town and ask any questions that arise while you're gone.
About: I grew up with cats, dogs, cows, goats etc. so I have always been around and taking care of animals. I regularly take care of friends and families dogs/cats and am very patient. I used to work in nursing and most recently as a chemist, but am looking for supplemental animal love and interactions! I have availability and flexibility as needed Sunday through the week. I can do mornings, evenings or afternoons. I can accommodate most changes as this is my primary work. I have a closed in backyard and basement. I have two cats that can be separated or blocked off to separate areas of the house.
About: I’ve been volunteering and caring for cats and dogs since I was eleven years old. I am knowledgable in pet CPR and first aid. I’ve had pets of my own my entire life, including 3 dogs, 4 cats, as well as chickens. I’ve cared for large and small dogs as well as cats. I am experienced in administering medicine to both cats and dogs. I’ve cared for everything from young kittens to elderly dogs. I have multiple long-time returning clients currently. I’m currently a student and have a part time job, so I have mostly evening and weekend availability during the school year. In the summer I usually work in the afternoon into the evenings, so I’m available mornings, after 7-8 in the evening, and most afternoons. I am available to stay over if desired most weekends and weekdays in the summer. My mother also works as my backup when my schedule gets hairy or in emergencies so your pets will always have someone to ensure their wellbeing! I am comfortable letting dogs out in the yard or walking them on a leash depending on the pet and personal situation. I am not currently offering services in my own home.
About: It goes without saying that I have a passion for animals for a very long time. I am starting veterinary school in the fall to get my doctor of veterinary medicine. I have had experience in boarding anywhere from Bernese mountain dogs to 6 week old wiener dogs! I work at a local Pet Clinic where I also board in a professional setting as well as assisting veterinary professionals. I work as an assistant at a local pet clinic but I have plenty of time to give your pets the best quality care they might need! Whenever I am not working, I will be available 24/7 to take care of your pet with all of my attention and love. Whatever schedule that you would like me to follow I will down to a T and do even more.

“Emily was fantastic! Our dog loved every minute of being there. She was very communicative during our week long vacation and made sure to send lots of photos of our Pen getting loved on. We will absolutely be booking with Emily for any future trips or just for a small pooch vaca for our dog. We highly recommend!”
“Anu and her family are wonderful and took amazing care of our Daisy while we were on vacation. It is clear that they love dogs and are very knowledgeable caring for them. Discussed food, meds, routine and behaviors ahead of time. Great communication and appreciated the many photo and video updates while we were away. I would definitely book with Anu again.”
“Krystal's love of dogs is evident and her current bestie, Duke, was a welcoming partner! We left our sweet Piper with Krystal for a week and Piper seemed to adjust well and was in good spirits when we picked her up. I think she even missed Krystal and Duke for a day or so after we returned home! Krystal kept us abreast of how Piper was doing and was responsive to our questions. I was amazed by how unfazed she was by the cold, wet weather that hung over the Fox Valley the week we were away; seemingly taking the additional 4 muddy paws in stride! We would happily re-book with Krystal the next time we need to leave town.”
“Korri was able to help us out in a pinch and took our dog over the long weekend! She took SUCH good care of him and treated him as her own! She sent us updates and many pictures!!! She was very timely with her response and we never worried about if our dog was in good hand our whole trip! ?Thanks again Korri!”
“Laura was friendly and made the whole process of setting up the sitting arrangement so easy to work with. The communication was great—we received regular, fun updates and photos of our dog, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was being well-cared for and having a blast. We highly recommend!”
“Gina provided complete security and peace of mind for our first time leaving Charlie for an extended length of time. Communication was consistent and detailed with adorable photos. Absolutely will use Gina again in the future, highly recommend”
“Chelsea is Simply Awesome!! She loved on our 2 puppies for a long 10 days while our family enjoyed a very needed vacation. She sent pics and videos each day while we were away!! She was there to comfort our pups when they missed us❤️ We were able to enjoy our time away knowing our pups were in Great hands!! We will be looking up Chelsea for all of our future needs!! Thank you, Chelsea❤️”
“Sarah was an excellent cat sitter! She responded to my last minute request very quickly and kept in contact throughout the stay. She was also flexible with our drop off and pick up changes. I think our kitten had such a good time that she did not want to leave. Would highly recommend Sarah and will use her pet sitting service again.”
“Frank and Julie are the best! They are very responsive and give great updates with pictures and videos. They have a nice big fenced in area where our pup loves to run around. It’s hard for us to leave our pup, but we know she is in good hands with Frank and Julie. Highly recommend!”
“Kathy did a great job. She came through for me at a moments notice when my boarder had a cancellation. Her dogs did well with my boy. He came home happy and tired which is a good thing.”
“Our young golden retriever had a great time with Susan and her girls and their dog Oreo. Susan sent daily updates and pictures, which was so nice. We will take Gatsby to vacation there the next time our family goes away.”
“Melissa was fabulous with Bear! This was our first time using Rover and we loved our experience! She sent pictures and kept us informed and was very transparent. Definitely recommend.”
“Shanna is great. She very sincerely cares about both her animals and her boarder's animals. She checked in with me frequently and made a point of engaging with my dog and make him feel at home. I look forward to boarding with her again.”
“Melissa is amazing and she is very flexible and is very nice and respectful she was willing to watch my dog again after just watching three days after. So is a good one”
“For a recent week - long vacation, we left our 3 year old golden doodle with Jeff. This was our first time using Rover and leaving her in someone else's home. After an initial meet and greet, we felt very comfortable with Jeff and Ember loved his fenced in yard. We liked the photo and written updates we received while vacationing. Jeff provided daily walks and outside time. He respected Ember's schedule and tried to maintain her schedule. In addition to our toys and treats, he also provided some. We will definitely use Jeff's boarding for future get aways.”
