“Stormi had so much fun she didn't even want to go home with me! Kay did a great job taking care of my dog and she was so kind. You can tell she really likes animals and I know Stormi was in good hands!”
“Amanda and her husband took great care of Ewee! Ewee seemed a little nervous at first because she's not use to being around other dogs on a regular basis but, she easily adapted. I would truly recommend Amanda to care for your hairy baby any day. We'll definitely use her again to care for her. Thank you Amanda for being there in our time of need! Go Rover!!!”
“Fantastic. Very convenient and easy. We were passing through the area and needed a place. Banna responded quickly, was flexible to help meet our timeline, and went the extra mile to help us get back on the road the next day. She updated us with constant pictures/messaged. 10/10. Thank you!”
“Sugar and I were so happy with Marilyn! She communicated well and met us the night before. She replied to check up messages while we were away and sent pictures, which I love! When I came to pick Sugar up, she was relaxed and happy, not stressed in any way at all. Se didn't need to eat or drink or have a potty break either. I could tell that Sugar enjoyed her time away from me with her new friend! We will definitely be booking with Marilyn again, any time we need a sitter!!! Super happy with this experience!!!!!”
“Cambree was AMAZING with my boy! She arranged last minute ,within hours, picking Cheesecake up at my house. She sent me pictures each and every day even sometimes more than that. She took him on a walk most mornings as well as socialized him with a few other dogs, cats, and people which he enjoyed so much. Him staying allowed me to stay at the hospital with my husband while he was admitted emergently and her updates kept me so reassured and at peace. Cambree even readjusted the schedule to accommodate our discharge date changing! We will for sure be using her again and highly recommend.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs/cats my entire life; I love all animals. I’ll treat your animals as if they were my own - you can count on that! Full-time Rover so your pets ARE my schedule. I can pop-in and/or walk your pets any day, any time. This is a passion for me and your pets will benefit. I have a house with one Golden Retriever named Echo; he’s a big teddy bear. I know how much peace of mind a good pet-care professional affords when away, and I will treat your babies as if they were my own!
“Chrystal did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. Our dog stayed for two nights and Chrystal was wonderful about sending us pictures and keeping us updated. Would definitely pick Chrystal for future visits.”
About: I have worked with everything from Chihuahuas to Saint Bernards so I know how to give your pets the best care as possible. I train dogs professionally so I know how to properly ensure that your dog gets the necessary amount of physical and mental stimulation needed for a happy healthy life while you’re away! I work from home doing everything do related “nail trims, walks, basic obedience, trick training, boarding, behavior training, brushing, bathing, etc”, so I’m almost always available to take care of your loved ones. I do everything I can to make sure your pet is as comfortable as they can be while you’re away. I cater to all types of personalities and breeds no matter how cranky they can be.
About: I call a farm my home, where I have gained experience with a wide variety of animals including cattle, horses, cats, and of course dogs! I understand how important it is to be punctual with their cares, and develop a trusting, caring relationship with them. I also have experience in administrating oral, injectable, and nasal medications. Going on walks/runs is something I do regularly, and would love to have your pup join this daily activity! Let me know if you have any questions! I am a recent PA school graduate, and looking for part time income while I await certification. This typically takes a few months, making my start date late Spring! My day revolves around your pets! I have a fenced in yard as well as a playful and loving one year old golden retriever! Your pet will never get bored! I also have a crate available, suitable for a 50-100lb dog if that is of importance to you!
About: Throughout the years we have watched family and friends fur babies while they are gone on their trips. I have grown up with animals my whole life. We are on a small average with animals. Daily choring is a must. I work full time during the week, but weekends are free to be able to care for your lovely pets We live on an acreage that has no fenced in yard. Lots of room to roam under supervision. We have an extra kennel if needed to kennel during the night time.
