Tracy is a great dog sitter! Our dog Cosmo has stayed with her twice. Any request I have had she is all over it. She takes him for walks, they have a huge back yard for him to play in, and she even took him shopping. She sends me pictures so I can see how he is doing throughout the week. He even has other dogs to play with while he’s there so he is not bored or lonely. When I pick him up I could tell he had good time at Tracy's house. I am very glad I found her. Thanks Tracy!!

Rohanne is amazing with dogs! My dog, Theo can be a bit of a handful, but she handles him perfectly and he has so much fun when they go to park and runyon canyon. He is always so excited to see her, and returns hope happy and exhausted. I could not recommend her enough!

Very good experience. Accommodating with pickup time when I booked it wrong, sent picture updates almost daily and kept me in the loop on how she was doing. It’s hard to find someone who is willing to board cats so finding terra was great :)

Christina has been absolutely amazing for our family, especially for our 14-year-old border collie-mix, Winnie. Each time she's taken care of Winnie, she has shown incredible patience, love, and understanding towards her special needs and old, but active age. Her attentiveness to Winnie's diet, exercise, and any medication schedule has given us peace of mind while we're away. It's clear Christina not only loves animals but also understands how to care for them responsibly. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet caregiver. - Alex T.

Phew. Finally got a second to breathe at work. Adrienne and Ray are awesome! As someone that just moved to Ohio, when I needed someone to watch my dog while on a work trip I was hesitant when I saw they had cats, so they were super inviting and offered me a chance to take my dog over and see how he acted. Come day to drop him off, Adrienne offered to let me drop him off at their place of employment to allow me to sleep in a bit more, even bringing him back to their office on pick up day for easier scheduling. The first night he stayed over, I was nervous on how he'd react being with strangers (in a sense), but Adrienne sent me messages letting me know how he was doing and even a photo of Vapor nesting their dogs in tug of war. Already have scheduled my second appointment with them for my next work trip.

Cherokee and Lucy, my two large dogs, have stayed with Wendy multiple times in the past when I lived in SEO. This past trip, my husband and I drove 2 hours out of our way from Detroit to the Smokey Mountains-- just so our dogs could be with Wendy! They hadn't seen Wendy in almost three years and Cherokee scratched at her door to get in! Wendy is so thoughtful, clearly caring of our dogs, and overall a wonderful person to have in your corner. We will continue to book Wendy in the future, as her drop-off and pick-up are seamless, she is obviously quite experienced, is such a joy to see, and sends me the best updates occasionally through the stay-- always making me smile! Thank you a million times over, Wendy!

Riley has been a pet lover since she was young. But over the years, she has shown so much responsibility in taking care of all of the animals. We currently have 2 dogs and Riley is constantly giving them attention, bathing them, walking them, and making sure they are well cared for. She has also worked at a local doggie daycare taking care of the dogs in large groups and even staying overnight with many dogs at a time. If you are looking for someone who has a true love of animals and will take great care of your family pet, give Riley a call.

About: I graduated in 2021 with an associates degree in animal assisted therapy-canine. The past two years I have spent working with horses. In the last four years I have studied under two vet technicians. I currently work 16 hours a week, so I have loads of time to spend with your fur babies. I will be available most weekends for boarding. I do not have a fenced yard. But I will happily take your pet out on leash. I have 3 friendly dogs that can keep your pets busy. I can crate dogs as needed, as well.

Carol was wonderful throughout the whole process…. So kind and a pleasure to work with. She kept me updated on Jazzy and sent pictures. They have a wonderful location and her dogs are friendly and took Jazzy in without any problems. This was my first time using the Rover app and first time using Carol’s services. I would highly recommend her and her husband (sorry can’t remember his name) and I will definitely be booking with them in the future. Thanks so much!! Joni

Deana was so sweet and you can tell she really loves dogs!! We got feedback and pictures every day with updates regarding how he slept, how he ate and how many walks they did. Her own dogs are very accepting of new visitors (both human amd canine) ? I would recommend Deana to anyone who needs their pet well taken care of like it was her own!

Highly recommend Ryan. She accommodated my fur babies on a last minute request. She done great with my Holly as she is very clingy and hyper active and first time ever staying away from me. She kept me informed by sending pictures. Great job!!
