“Oliver loved Lex, she was very good with him and made sure he had enough water while playing with him out in the heat. Would recommend her to care for anyone's fur family member.”

“VERY last minute booking and had fast response and availability to fit my needs. Was able to give my pupper a small walk and potty break while I was out of town. Received multiple pictures during the experience and while my dog seems a little skiddish around strangers, I saw her very happy in the photos in a very short time. A big thank you! Made my life and schedule alot easier today with your services.”

About: I have had animals my entire life so I am very accustomed to taking care of pets. Our dog had seizures and had to take medication 2x/day. I know how important our animals are and what they mean to us. They are family. Having 3 pets of my own, animal care is in play 24 hours a day. Whether it's potty breaks, medications, or feeding time, I always make sure my animals are healthy and happy. Ensuring that they have food and water and a safe, warm place are of utmost importance. Providing love and affection because we are their whole world!
“Deanna was the perfect person to drop in and check on our dogs during our day away. She was right on time, sent pics and actually played with our dogs. She left them tired enough to sleep till her next drop. Highly recommend Deanna for your sitting needs. Thank you Deanna.”

“Arita did an awesome dropping in on our golden this week! She took her on walks everyday, gave us pictures and feedback! We can tell our golden enjoys her! We would recommend Arita again and again!”

“Risa and CT are absolutely wonderful with our pups! They’re always punctual, reliable, and incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and animals. Our pups clearly feel comfortable and happy with them. It’s obvious they go above and beyond to make sure the pups feel loved and don’t miss us too much. We couldn’t ask for better caretakers, highly recommended!”
“This was my first time using Rover and a GREAT experience! Erika made herself available to chat from start to finish which was so helpful. We met ahead of time and I was totally comfortable and at ease with Erika. I’ll definitely use her again!”
About: For as long as I can remember, I have always had an animal in my life. I got a puppy at a young age and cared for him up until the day he passed. Since becoming an adult, I adopted a kitten and continue to care for him. He is now 6 and the light of my life! I have an extremely flexible schedule! I currently work part time with a lot of availability. I’m available at almost any hour of the day. I currently have a cat but he has his own space if tensions were to rise. I have a mid sized unfenced yard, but I know of multiple dog parks. I’m available to cuddle up with animals or wear out some energy!

“Hayley is super nice! Things seemed to go smoothly with her visits with our kitty. She brought in a package for us that I wasn't expecting, so thanks so much for that! Left the place just as we left it.”
“First time using the Rover service and our first time away from our pet for such a long duration. Franki was an excellent communicator, went above and beyond spending her time with our dog in his own home so he would be comfortable, and we're so thankful for her! Great experience and our new go-to option if we need to travel!”

About: I grew up with cats and adopted my first dog 12 years ago. I love walking, playing, and just caring for animals, it what makes me the happiest. I work in the GKB schools and have summers off so my whole week is open. My animals and I take walks every morning and afternoon. I have a senior dog and a cat who loves other dogs. My kids also love to help and play with animals in our big yard.
“My kitties are usually the kind that hide with strangers. They came out every time Mariah dropped in to check on them , and she sent pictures!!!! I would definitely use her again . Thanks again !!!!”

“Very happy with the service Bree provided for my puppy. Bree has great communication skills and sent updates and photos throughout her visit with Sadie. I will be using her again and highly recommend!”

“Alexander & Jaycee were phenomenal with Callie! We had such a wonderful experience with Alexander & Jaycee. From start to finish, everything was incredibly smooth and stress free. They were attentive, communicative, and clearly cared so much about Callie. She was comfortable, well cared for, and happy the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind. What truly stood out was their flexibility and willingness to help at the last minute. They were so accommodating and responsive when we needed them most. It is clear they genuinely love what they do, and that made all the difference. We are beyond grateful for the care they provided and would absolutely trust them again with Callie. Highly recommend! 🐾💛”

About: I’ve taken care of family, friend’s, and neighbor’s dogs of all shapes and sizes! I absolutely love animals, and I’m willing to do whatever your furry friend needs.

I especially love big dogs, but like I said before…I love ALL animals, so please feel free to reach out if you have any questions! I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have ample time to play with your animals! I run errands for my family as well, so frequent stops would be no problem!

However, walking, feeding, light grooming, and cuddling are all services that I offer!
