“I boarded my two dogs, Jack and Katie, with Tara for a week and a half, and she also checked in on my cat George at my home while I was out of town. Could not ask for a better person to take care of your pets, she loves and cares for them as much as you do! You have complete peace of mind while they are under her care. I sure hope she is available the next time I go on a trip!”

About: This is from a few years ago now, but everything still applies! I’ve been doing Rover for about 6 years, and watching people’s pets for over 10 years now. Hey there! My name is Abby, I am 30-years young and I absolutely adore all animals!!! My father is a self- proclaimed dog whisperer that is amazing with pets, and he taught me how to safely and successfully interact with dogs at a young age. Since I was a wee one, I have always had a natural ability with pets; they generally tend to be fond of me, dogs especially. I have had ample practice and training, with a wide variety of dogs over that past few years. I have been watching pets for eight years now! From the ages 22 -26, I worked at a school for at-risk girls. There all the faculty members seemed to have pets, and take all these trips! No one there had a reliable pet-sitter, for when they were out of town, so those families were forced to board their pets. So I’m talking to the school nurse one day, she’s newly single & has finished plans to start traveling the world. But she owns Harley, the yellow lab, who has recently aged immensely and is no longer well when boarded anymore. And There I was waiting & beyond ready to start my side-business as a dog-sitter. Harley, became my first client and more so my buddy, I watched him for 1 to 2 week periods, frequently, over the next 3 years. Then, the other staff members began to use my services, also. I had around 5-6 dogs that I would take care of on a regular basis. Whether that meant staying with them at their house, walking them multiple times a day, playing, and anything else that needed to be done! I have been doing Rover for almost two years, now, and am extremely confident in my skills! I look forward to any and all new clients. Feel free to ask me any questions and concerns any time! Abby Morgan Pet care fits so well into my routine, since this is my main source of income right now! I can easily spend as much time needed and wanted with your pet! I strive to care for each pet as if they were my own, so I enjoy fitting this into my routine. Feel free to ask me any questions! I treat pets like they are all my children! Every pet I watch earns a special place in my heart! I try to keep pets on their schedules- whatever they must be! Right now, I am not allowed to house pets, unfortunately, so I have to stay over at your home. I have been doing that for years, and honestly, it makes the job so much easier for all parties involved, because the pets are so much more comfortable in their own turf! I currently work PRN as a CNA, which means I pick up shifts when I want to work. This allows me to be able to work around that schedule easily. I care for pets as if they were my own fur baby. I follow common safety practices while caring for animals- keeping them on leash, avoiding other pets during walks, etc. I am extremely vigilant of my surroundings at all times and try to prevent anything bad from happening by using my intuition and common sense.
“Hannah was so awesome! She checked on both my cats and made sure she had all directions correct before she left after the meet and greet. 10/10 recommend for sure!”
“Kristy was great watching our two kitties over the Christmas holiday. She kept us updated on her visits and even took pictures. We will definitely use her again. Thanks Kristy!”

Mandy W.
“Mandy has house sat and pet sat for us for years. Anytime my husband and I go out of town, we always call her first because of how much our three dogs (Max, Peanut, and Tater) love her. We always know when we leave them with her, they’ll not only be safe, but have a great time too! She consistently sends us sweet pictures of our babies playing and having fun and lets us know how they’re doing. There’s no one else we feel as comfortable leaving them with and it’s 100% better than having to board them in an unfamiliar setting!”
