Sara was great! We left our Nailah home for a night while we went on a trip and she took good care of her. She sent pictures as well as updates while we were gone and our Nailah really seemed to love her. Would highly recommend 10/10

We were so fortunate to have found Breezy for our weekend getaway. She was absolutely amazing with our doggo. Gideon has severe anxiety, so we are always a bit nervous leaving him for extended periods. But Breezy was truly perfect with Giddy. She was so patient with our sweet boy and cared for him like her own. We were able to enjoy our trip to the fullest knowing she was taking such good care of Gideon. I will most definitely be reaching out to her to rebook in the future. Thank you so much!

April was amazing with Hank and Lucy! She followed everything needed for our chocolate lab and golden retriever! We didn't have to worry at all while we were gone and we received pictures of the babies so we wouldn't miss them too much! Thank you, April! You were the best!

Absolutely fantastic. The meet up went well and my pup loved her! She kept me updated throughout the day and let her run around. I asked her to make sure my pet wasn’t crated all day and she did just that! I would definitely hire her again!

Sarah was great with our special girls, she was patient with them, they're both rescues and are afraid of most people. Our dogs instantly took to Sarah. This was our first time using Rover, I loved it. The app was so simple, and Sarah updated with us while we were on vacation every day. Made us feel so comfortable. We will definitely be using this service again and requesting Sarah.

Jenna has been a dog sitter for me for 2 years now. I have 8 dogs (at one point I did have 9) of varying sizes and ages and she has been absolutely amazing with them. It is difficult enough to find a responsible, trustworthy and caring person to watch after a pet, much less 8 of them! A daunting task to most but I have been fortunate and blessed to have Jenna take care of my fur babies. The dogs love her and are always excited to see her and I know they enjoy getting extra cuddle time on the couch (she sends me pictures from time to time). Jenna is great about following any instructions I leave and will ask questions if she has any. She has watched the dogs for multiple days/nights on several occasions, or even made a pit stop by the house to let them out for me on a very long work day. I highly recommend Jenna with full confidence that she will love your pet(s) and give them the best care.

Missy's genuine love for animals was evident in the way she cared for my aging dog, Sammy. Her presence during our difficult time was a source of comfort and support. She is now devoted to my young dog Ziggy and helps with his care around my busy schedule. I appreciate Missy and recommend her to other dog parents.

Christopher has watched my dogs and cat for several years and my animals all love him. He takes very good care of them. He is very responsible, caring, and always gives my animals all of his attention. I know my animals are safe and very well taken care of when Christopher is watching them and I know I can always count on him to give my animals the best care when I am not here.

About: I've been walking dogs since I was three - but now I don't need someone with me while we cross the street 😂 Seriously, I started pet sitting for neighbors when I was around 10 years old and have loved every minute of it. I currently do not have any dogs in my home - but I've had tiny dogs, extra large dogs and everything in between. I especially have a soft spot for the seniors, as I used to foster them for what basically amounted to dog hospice. My current schedule for school is Monday through Friday 8a - 1p. I also occasionally have meetings with the Master Gardeners program, maybe once a month and in the morning or afternoon. Either way, I have plenty of available time to walk your dogs or keep your pets company. I currently cannot host due to my cat, but I am happy to follow any instructions you have for your pets! If possible, please provide a text, email or just sticky notes to ensure your pet gets the same care from me they receive when you're home!
