“Shaun and Katie were amazing to work with! I received pictures almost daily of my two dogs and they always looked happy. They took them for walks and seemed to treat them as their own. One of my dogs gets anxious and licks her foot. Katie told me she wrapped her foot to help with the anxiety. It put me at ease knowing she was aware of what my dog was doing and took action to help her while I was gone. My flight home was delayed and Shaun and Katie were super understanding about keeping them another night. This was one less thing to stress over and I knew they were in good hands. This is my first time using Rover and I will definitely be having my pups stay with Shaun and Katie again!”
“Thank you so much for taking Skaar in last minute! Shannon was very kind, and introduced his dogs to Skaar effectively. He communicated promptly and sent me a video, as requested. Skaar was pooped after his visit. I highly recommend!”
“Jenny was amazing with our 6-month-old golden retriever, Winnie! Our puppy has tons of energy, and Jenny handled her with so much patience and care. Winnie had an absolute blast playing with Jenny’s dog, Remy; they were the perfect duo! We got plenty of photo updates and could tell Winnie was having the best time. We felt totally at ease knowing she was in such great hands. Highly recommend Jenny to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”
“Rachel is the absolute best! Vicky had a wonderful time with her and her family! Her dog Dolly is very friendly and they got along fabulously. We had to suddenly extend our travel time, due to illness and she was willing to take care of our fur baby until we got back safely. Loved getting the videos and pictures. I've never been apart from my fur baby so long before it wasn't easy for me but really helped knowing Vicky was so well taken care of!! Thank you Rachel! You're the best!!!”
“Lindsay was terrific. Jason immediately felt comfortable in her home, climbing up on the coach and rolling around happily. She did a great job providing food and snuggles and walks.”
“Bethany did a great job taking care of our old gal, Sandy. She sent some pics and videos through the stay and answered quickly when we didn’t get a pic or video for a day or two. Sandy got along well with her dog and the others in her care.”
“Deirdre was absolutely amazing. She sent many pictures and updates. After meeting her I felt completely comfortable and at ease leaving my Fur baby with her. Definitely recommend working with her!”
“Nicole and her husband were amazing! Very understanding with my drooling dog and his mama 😆 Definitely gave me peace of mind while we were gone knowing he was being taken care of by someone who cares”
“This was our first time using Rover and Angie was a great sitter. She kept me updated with multiple photos a day! We knew our dog was in good hands and will definitely use her again!”
“Chelsey & Lucas were so accommodating, detailed oriented & communicative during my dogs stay at their home. I received regular in depth updates & treated my dog like one of their own. They are an active, energetic, dog loving home. I would highly recommend!!”
“Tyler did a fantastic job! Jason had a blast supervising workouts and taking naps on couches. Tyler even helped Jason stay calm during a stormy evening. I will definitely use Tyler again.”
About: I have been involved in caretaking pets through Rover, my private pet sitting business, and through local pet shelters over the course of three years. I have also pet sat for friends and relatives. I am very passionate about the well-being of all animals and have even received training at pet shelters in order to provide optimal care. I have a part time job but can easily provide pet sitting services. My job requires me to work 8 hour shifts two to three times per week. If my work schedule ever interferes with a scheduled visit, I offer additional visits that day free of charge. I love incorporating pet caretaking into my day to day life. It is a big priority for me. I want to care for the pets based on their individual needs. I am here to help you keep them moving and healthy while you are traveling or busy with other important things. I’m very flexible and willing to help however best fits your unique situation.
“Madison and her family were great with Thor. Will gladly book again in the future. She was worried about his non eating- as he does when I'm not around. I received great photo updates on him. She seemed to understand Thor and his personality. Thank you again:-)”
“Rachel was great about giving me updates, sending pictures, and video. Overall communication was excellent. Our dog looked like he was at ease and enjoying his time with Rachel and her family. We will definitely book with Rachel and her family in the future.”
“Susan was absolutely amazing from start to finish! I never used Rovee before so I was really cautious and overall pretty scared but Susan assured me she'd take great care of Char while I was traveling. I received pictures and videos daily of char as well as text updates. In the videos alone I could tell my dog was not only happy but he felt safe and loved. I would highly recommend Susan!”
About: I’ve owned and cared for pets of all kinds my entire life, as well as worked at a boarding facility for 4 years that took in dogs and cats (as well as the occasional rodent, pig or reptile) I’ll treat your pet of any kind like my own! i’m currently working part time from monday to friday and will have most availability on weekends, but i do have a a very flexible work schedule and can try to make it work! I prefer caring at a clients home due to the fact that i have cats of my own that are uncomfortable with unfamiliar pets. i’ll provide care to your specifications to ensure your pet is as comfortable and loved as possible!
