Monica was amazing! She loved on my sweet fur babe while I left town for the day! She left amazing detailed notes after each visit and sent so many pictures! I felt so comfortable with having her come and take care of my babe for the day!

First time using Rover and jenevieve made everything so easy for us! She watched our boy milo for the week and went above and beyond for us! Milo looked as if he was missing us and so she took Milo over to her own home so Milo could play it with her pups and even got to stay the night! We appreciate everything she has done. Highly recommend this lady here!

My dogs and cat were in such good hands. Highly recommend him. Will use again and again. Was in another country and he was so patient with my payment issue. I didn’t have to worry even at 3700 miles away.

Andrea has been amazing, our dogs can be a lot and be very hyper. She plays fetch, gives them water and feeds them breakfast. She even takes the time to clean up if our dogs manage to escape out of the kennel and make a mess ( they counter surf). She Leaves a report card every time and sends lots of pics with just the hour she’s at our house. I would recommended Andrea 10/10!

Lacey has taken excellent care of my two Boston terriers on a regular basis for years now! One is a senior who needs carried up and down stairs with assorted health issues that come with age including needing eyedrops and different meds. The other is a high energy little guy who needs constant cuddles, playing & attention. Both absolutely adore her and I know they get the best possible care with her! I travel often for work & she’s the only person I feel comfortable leaving them with. She’s also incredible with cats of any age & temperament. Your fur kid will thank you for having her come hang out with them. Couldn’t reccomend higher.

Our cats are still warming up to the idea of people and tend to hide (even from us on some days), but Nichole did her best to win them over anyway. It gave me great peace of mind to know the person checking on them was so attentive, even if the cats themselves weren't enthusiastic about a new friend. Thanks so much!
