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!

Erin and Chris did an excellent job with our energetic little guy! They provided him with exceptional care and love. They went above and beyond to send us pictures through this stay, also! We would highly recommend them!

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.

Mark and Michelle did an outstanding job watching my daisy. They were by far the nicest people I have ever met on Rover. I got lots of pictures everyday so I could see that daisy was doing good! Daisy came home wiped out from a wonderful week of doggy play with Charlotte and Sadie! Mark and Michelle are the BEST!!

Elizabeth was awesome. Sage had such a great time with her. In the past she has not eaten while we were away, but she ate while staying with Elizabeth and her pups. She was great about staying in communication and sending sweet photos. I will be using her again. Couldn’t be more pleased.

My dog had a wonderful time with Briana! We got updates with pictures every day, and was clearly very well cared for. He came home tired from all of the activities! We will definitely be using Briana again!

Absolutely the best sitter I could have found. Spoiled my dog to the point he expects more from home now :). He has separation anxiety and she accommodated his every need and did everything to make him feel just like he is at home, she even let him sleep in her bed with her. I cannot recommend Casandra enough.

I could tell my dog was so happy during her stay and she returned to us so tired from playing all day. Ashley is great at communicating, treated my dog as her own, and her dogs are so friendly!

Kyra and Skylar were so great with Joy ! Joy was nervous at first which made me nervous leaving her, but Kyra and Skylar soon we're sending pictures and videos of Joy cuddling them, loving her walks with them, and having fun! They communicated wonderfully. I highly recommend using them and know we will be using them again in the future!

We're entriely comfortable leaving our dog with Jenevieve. She has great communication, and gives us regular updates while our dog is staying with her. Her pup Roman is a great host as well and makes our dog feel right home. They've become the best of pals!

About: I've grown up around dogs and have a passion for animals. I have succeeded in training my current puppy in multiple commands and managed to have him fully housebroken by the age of 4 months. I typically work from home Mondays and Fridays and can check on pets at regular intervals. Occasionally I may run 1-2 hour long errands while the dogs play in the back yard. My current dog is a loving 4 month old Great Pyrenees/GSD mix who has a wonderful temperament and is a perfect early socialization experience for nervous dogs. There is a decent-sized fenced in yard for dogs to run around in complete with a plastic kiddie pool to help cool off on Sunny days. While inside the dogs will be regulated to the kitchen and living areas.

Jen took great care of our dog, Melo. He enjoyed playing with Jens dogs and being spoiled by her family. We felt very comfortable leaving Melo with Jen. Our dog is still exhausted from all the fun he had.

This was my first time looking for a sitter and I am a first time pet owner so you can imagine the worries of making sure you found a good sitter! Sue was the first and only sitter i got in touch with! She is extremely friendly, and a great communicator, I even did a pre-trip visit with my cat bento to where he would be staying with her! After leaving bento with Sue for over a week, it is safe to say that Sue is the best at what she does, I would never look for another sitter again!

Patty was great to work with and always prompt with responses. I appreciate the updates and pictures. I let her know I have a nervous dog and she was open to a meet and greet and asked what would help my dog to be comfortable while he was with her. Will use her again. Thanks Patty!!

Cory took great care of our dog while we were away. Our dog can have periods of anxiety and does not do well with other animals, he was able to handle her behaviors without a problem. He sent us regular updates and kept her active all weekend. She was happy and worn out when we picked her up. We would definitely recommend and plan to use him again for future trips!

Great communication; Coco was well cared for and enjoyed her stay. Ashly's dog, Tony, is very patient and well-mannered - great for my skittish pup.

Scott was awesome. He did an amazing job communicating and letting us know how Zoey was doing. And the best part? It seemed like he was really able to handle her energy, which says a lot!
