As always, Monica was so great with our dogs while we were away on our honeymoon. She went above and beyond for us—even watering an indoor plant for us, and offering to add on an impromptu drop in visit because of an impending tornado warning/thunder storm! Her notes were specific and in depth. Our dogs clearly love her. We have two rovers we sincerely trust, and she is one of them! Thanks Monica!

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!

Tarah is such a great cat sitter! Our kitties warmed up to her so quickly. Very flexible scheduling, always responsive via text or Rover message, kept us in the loop with lots of cute pics of our babies. Will definitely be rebooking in the future!

Brad was top notch, we’re so happy we found him! Our dogs were happy and healthy when we got back home from vacation. Brad was punctual and we didn’t have to worry at all with our dogs in his hands. In fact, we immediately booked again with Brad and look forward to having him back. Thank you so much, Brad!

Nichole is amazing! She was great at communicating when we were setting everything up and our cat warmed up to her very quickly; they were already cuddling by the second day! We were really able to enjoy our vacation knowing that Nichole was taking care of our boy!

Kayla provided excellent cat care for my two kitties over the holidays. I have one cat with anxiety who takes medication and Kayla was able to keep her calm and administer the medication with no issues. My cats warmed up to Kayla immediately and they were totally calm when I returned home. My home was in great condition, including the litter box, when I returned. Communication & photos were consistently great while I was away. I would be thrilled to rebook Kayla for pet sitting again in the future.

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.

About: I have been around puppy dogs all of my life. From Saint Bernards to chihuahuas to basset hounds to mini dachshunds and everything in between. I am also the proud grannie of a Dutch shepherd. Having lost my 13-year-old companion a few years ago my heart is finally ready to help others take care of their loved ones. I am currently working full-time downtime and am available for early morning and evening potty breaks and walks. Depending on the location I can pop in over lunch. I am also available to stay overnight with your little one. I believe furry ones are more comfortable in their own homes. I strive to provide as much normalcy as possible to their routine. They will miss you, facetime is always an option for them to hear your voice.

Ella. Is. Amazing!!!! She did such a great job with our pups while we were away for a quick trip to KC. We usually travel with our dogs but this time we decided to have her check in on them three times a day and it worked out great! We set up a Ring camera in the house so we could watch them and one dog in particular, has some hip issues and we were worried about keeping him in a crate around the clock. It became obvious that he would be more comfortable out of the crate so Ella made that adjustment. She walked them, fed them, played with them in the snow and sent us pics of their adventures. I would HIGHLY recommend Ella for any of your pet care needs. ❤️❤️❤️

Megan has watched my dogs so many times! There is no one I would trust more with my fur babies. She sends lots of pictures and is always very responsive. My dogs love playing in her backyard, it’s pretty big! She always treats them with so much love and care and my dogs hardly want to leave when I pick them up. She won’t let you down!
