1. Jessica S.
“Megan had a great time at Jessica’s. It was Megan’s first daycare experience and she didn’t even hesitate going in. Megan came home exhausted, which made for a nice relaxing evening. We will definitely be booking with Jessica again.”
2. Scott S.
“We have a 5 month old Saint Bernard and after trying doggy day care at a commercial kennel, we knew we wanted to try something a little more personal. We chose Scott and his wife for our first experience with Rover, and it was the best choice! We met for a meet and greet before hand and instantly felt comfortable. Scott lives on a quiet street and has a large back yard for the dogs to enjoy. They sent us several pictures during the day of them going on walks and playing with other puppies. It definitely made the experience better seeing him so comfortable in the photos. We look forward to building our relationship with Scott, his wife Jessica and all their puppy friends in the future!”

“Tamara is just fantastic. She was great and attentive to my dog and her dogs are so sweet and got along perfectly with him! She has a giant yard for them to play and he came home every time just so happy and relaxed! He slept like a baby both times! He clearly loved her, her kids, and her dogs! Such a wonderful family and home! She did such a great job at such a great price! I can’t recommend her enough! I will try and book her first when looking for anything regarding care for my dog! Thanks Tamara!”

14. Mary S.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12. Friends and family have relied on me for pet sitting whenever they are out of town. I currently work full-time Hybrid. I work from home Mondays and Fridays. During this time I can provide care specific to your pet and their needs. I can provide potty breaks every 0-2 hours at least. I have a giant fully fenced back yard and 2 friendly dogs. One dog prefers more to watch the other dogs play while the other dog loves to be in all the action!
15. Camille W.
About: Hi! My name is Camille and I believe a house is not a home without paw prints and fur. I have cared for many dogs and cats over the years and will care for yours as if they are my own. I have one dog, Sully, and three cats, Jackson, Ziggy and Mishka. I may often be heard at the farmers market saying “I’m just here for the dogs” but if you ask me if I am a dog or cat person I have to say both. I can’t pick just one. Right now, I am available on weekends only. I will update my calendar right away if that changes. Can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! With over 30 years of experience, I am ready to entertain and exercise your pet whether that be on a walk, at your house, or mine. For dogs- I have a fully fenced in backyard.
