Leslie took wonderful care of my Roxie for over a week. It was obvious Roxie was very well looked-after - lots of walks, cuddles, and attention. Leslie was very communicative, followed our instructions for Roxie to a T, and even expertly handled a minor medical issue Roxie had during her stay. I really appreciated the pictures and video, and Roxie seemed like she had been very happy there when I picked her up :). Highly recommend Leslie, and will be contacting her for future visits for sure!

Randy was absolutely incredible with RYKER! I was going through a lot and needed someone I could truly trust, and Randy exceeded every expectation. RYKER isn’t an easy pup—he’s epileptic, highly anxious, and has major trust issues—but Randy handled him with such patience, care, and compassion. It honestly felt like a miracle to find someone who not only understood RYKER’s needs but also created a calm, safe space for him to feel secure. Randy was communicative, gentle, and completely unshaken by any challenges. 10/10—would book again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Randy, for being exactly who RYKER (and I) needed.

It was very comforting knowing they cared for her so well. 😊 We will definitely check with them first the next time we need reliable, caring, and excellent sitters. We cannot recommend them enough!

Lidia was an excellent caretaker for my pups! She was thorough in her responses to all of my questions prior to boarding and provided plenty of updates during their stay. She was even gracious enough to take the reservation last minute and very prompt with her responses. I would 100% book with her again due to her diligence, caring nature, experience with older pups, and clean environment. 💙

Skye had the best time! They did a meet and greet beforehand so she could get comfortable and their place has such a fun play area for active pups. I got tons of photos and updates while I was gone and they made sure Skye had plenty of time to sniff, explore, and burn off her energy. So grateful for the thoughtful care - we’ll definitely be back! 🐾

Leigh always does an excellent job caring for my cat. She is on time with pickup and drop off and she sends cute pictures of my cat! I can tell she treats him like her own. Leaving your pet with a stranger can be so scary but Leigh is someone who has been proven to be trustworthy. I will continue to board my cat with Leigh, she is a great pet sitter!

About: Genuine love for pets. I naturally care for their well-being and love the affection I get from all animals. My family and I have 5 dogs of our own and recently we were adopted by our newly stray cat, Carey. We have been fostering dogs since Thanksgiving of 2017 and we have learned a lot how all pets deserve second chances and how each one of them heals at their own time. My dog walks are tailored to your pet needs, I will focus on the safety of your pet and myself during my service. You can trust that your pet will always be in loving and caring hands. Dog walking would be my primary activity next to my English classes. I will work with you to make sure that your pets needs are met in a timely manner. At home we have a fenced backyard and at my customers' homes I make sure that safety is a priority during my service. That means that I would make sure that your pet is properly secured and that is happy while we are together.

We couldn’t be happier for the good care and affection she gave him. She was also flexible and responsive in dealing with us. Thank you, Renee!

Michelle is THE BEST!!! I found Michelle last minute in a panic and she was an absolute lifesaver! This was my first time using Rover so I was very nervous. She was soooo incredibly patient with me as I kept going back and forth deciding if I would take them with me or just give myself a break and leave them with her. I am so glad I made the decision to leave my dogs with Michelle. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Michelle checked in multiple times a day with photos and updates. She kept my dogs an extra day when I needed it at the last minute, squeezing them in before another client. She also took the time to educate me on some behavioral things I could work on with one of my dogs. Michelle truly went above and beyond from the start, up until the moment she dropped off my babies. She clearly loves what she does and it shows in every way. My dogs are in great hands with her and she is now my permanent go-to sitter. I HIGHLY recommend Michelle without hesitation!
