“Morgan did great with Bailey and I felt that she was safe with her. They hit it off at Morgan’s initial visit and Bailey was so excited to see her again. I will definitely be asking Morgan to help again. Thanks.”


“Lena is a gem! We couldn't ask for a kinder gentler soul to care for our pups in our home. She was very attentive with our elderly fur babies which left us at ease to leave home and enjoy our vacation. We've already booked a second trip with her! It's a wonderful feeling knowing you can entrust your pups (and home) to such a sweet person. 5 out of 5 stars? We'd give her 10 stars if we could!”

About: A little bit about me- I grew up on a farm with lots of animals, during my older teen ages I fostered animals with my mom for our local humane society. I have volunteered on farms and even a fox sanctuary so I’m pretty confident with animals! I’m currently working part time so i have a lot of free time to watch or walk any kind of animal! Thursday through Sunday are the best days for me! I have a big yard and a great area to walk dogs. The house is pretty substantial so any animal will be able to run around!

This allows me to have a free schedule for pet sitting. I usually stay with the pets so they get the love and attention that they deserve during my time watching them. I try to send updates on the pets every 1-2 days to help the owners feel more comfortable while they are gone from their fur babies!

Paul Z.
“I have observed Paul many times walking his German Shepard. Paul's dog is very well behaved. It is obvious he loves animals. We have a dozen dogs in our neighborhood and they all love him. He has assisted people with training their dogs, he is taking care of a dog right now. He handles dogs with patience and kindness, and draws the best behavior out dogs he works through consistent commands and encouragement. He would be a very good Rover employee.”
