Justin was great to work with! He asked great questions at drop off to get to know our dog and care for him well. Would recommend him and use him again in the future! He was also transparent about other dogs he was boarding the same time ours was there.

Ashley and Oziel did an amazing job watching my dog Maddox. It was my first time issuing rover and they made me super comfortable with it. They sent lots of updates and Maddox had a great time. Definitely will use them again!

Our first time using Rover was with Casandra. We boarded our two pups for over a week with her. She was very flexible with pickup and drop off times, and she did an amazing job with sending updates and photos. I felt at ease knowing that our dogs were with someone who treated them like family. They looked so happy in every picture. I would highly recommend using Casandra for your pet watching needs!

Lisa continues to be awesome with my dogs. She notices behavior and offers suggestions as well. Love getting all the updates and pics so I feel comfortable with her care. As far as location, being close to the airport is a huge bonus.

Jenevieve was more than we ever expected. She and her family treated our Suzi like one of their own. Sending pics a couple times a day made us feel so good to know we made the right decision. Suzi has found her home away from home! ❤️

I cannot say enough nice things about Scott! Our Ruby loves staying there! We spent so many years not traveling because we were not comfortable leaving our beloved pup with anyone. Scott changed that! Now when we pick her up she doesn’t want to leave😁

Cory was very responsive and had great communication before and during Moose’s stay! When we picked up Moose after his stay he was happy and tired. He even got to meet new friends! Cory was easy going and handled my high energy dog well!

Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment. She sent pictures daily and was always incredibly responsive in both the inquiry and once booked. She accommodated our requests and was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!

Jessica took care of my dog Iommi for a long weekend while I traveled out of state for my brother's wedding. It was my first time leaving Iommi and Jessica was the perfect person to leave her with. I was admittedly anxious about leaving Iommi for the first time, but as soon as I arrived the morning of drop-off Jessica made me feel 100% at ease. She took care of Iommi like she was her own and I know Iommi had a great time staying with Jessica and her family and playing with her dog Rip. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for care for their pet! I will definitely be booking with Jessica again!

I’m extremely pleased with the care provided by Megan when she took care of my 2 dogs for 6 days/5 nights while I was out of state on vacation. I had never left them that long with anyone before, and one of mine (Callie) is very attached to me and has some separation anxiety. But my fears were put to rest by Megan’s kind and reassuring manner when we first met and even more so when she sent me updates and several pictures every day to let me know how my pups were doing. She let me know my 2 pups were getting along well with her 2 little dogs, and the pictures reinforced they were making themselves at home. I really appreciated that she has a large fenced in yard for the dogs since mine are used to that. I will definitely use Megan again and am so relieved to know I can leave my dogs with her and they will be well cared for. She is awesome! I highly recommend her.

Liam took excellent care of our energetic mini-labradoodle! They are a dog friendly home and truly welcomed her right in! She got a lot of snuggles, attention, and walks. I was SO grateful having Liam watching her over a weekend while I was out of town. He kept me updated on her activities and sent darling pictures of her, I had such peace of mind knowing she was being so well cared for. I highly recommend Liam and will certainly be booking him again! Thank you, Liam! 🐶

Gemma had a great time, and I really appreciated Kayla helping us at the last minute. I'm very picky who cares for my girl, and would definitely use Kayla again! Gemma is currently curled up in my lap taking a nap, she is wore out!

Ashly was amazing!! She took great care of my dog, Franny came home exhausted. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day, I had never used rover before so I was a bit nervous but she assured me all would be great and it was, I have no doubt that we will absolutely be back! :)

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!
