1. Anna H.

“Anna has been great with Beau!!! She adapted to his quirkiness almost immediately. She gave me daily updates and was always responsive. I wpuld recommend her to anyone that is in a need for their pets.”


2. Angela G.

“Angela was our first dog sitter and we are so lucky to have found her! My doggies immediately liked her, at the start of the meet and greet (great sign!), and as a bonus, she has an extensive background working with animals. This made us very comfortable knowing Lily and Gracie were in good hands! My girls were well cared for, and Angela was a perfect house guest while we were on vacation! We will have Angela watch our pups again! Thank you Angela!”


3. Breagan R.

“Breagan was amazing with our doggies! She made friends with our sassy little chihuahuas mix overnight, brought mail in, sent pictures, and left the house spotless. Book her while you can!”


4. Jaclyn P.

“We can’t thank Jaclyn enough for caring for our fur babies! She was able to come last minute and care for them while I had to go out of town. She made sure they had plenty of time out of their kennel. She went above and beyond by sweeping and mopping for the floors. Highly recommended and will definitely be using her in the future!”


5. Danielle N.

“Danielle was amazing. I had complete peace of mind while she was caring for our pup. She sent updates and pictures. Will definitely book with her again if we need it!”


6. Erin S.

“Erin was awesome!! This is our first time leaving the dogs alone with someone so we were very nervous, but after we met I felt much better! We have a big ask of having two dogs, one being deaf, but they took a liking to her right away and looked comfortable with her. She went above and beyond with our pups and our house, taking them on walks in the park and keeping our house very neat and clean. I highly recommend her and will request her services again in the future!”


7. Piper P.
“I can’t recommend Piper enough! Piper is a lover of animals and is a great communicator. She’s taken care of my 3 cats and my dog many times over the last 6 years. Having the peace of mind of a responsible pet sitter and coming home to happy pets is priceless. Highly recommend!”


8. Mary H.

“Super easy for me to get there and no issues with Luna. Luna got a lot of attention playing with the owners dog and loving children.”


9. Katherine K.

“Katherine was super easy to work with and Bea loved her from the moment she met her at the meet and greet. Katherine is very responsive and we felt very comfortable going out of town knowing that Bea would be with Katherine.”




10. Alyssa R.

“Alyssa is an amazing “surrogate” dog Mommy! She sent me pictures and updated me on our little Elmo throughout the day, which made me feel at ease…best thing…my dog 🩷s her! So happy we found her here on Rover!”


11. Haley G.
“Haley was very attentive with taking care of my pets. She pays attention to details and communicates very well! I would use her again and again. Highly recommend!”

About: Having been a devoted pet owner since childhood, my journey with dogs and cats has been a lifelong companionship filled with wagging tails, affectionate purrs, and boundless joy. Growing up surrounded by the unconditional love of furry friends has instilled in me a deep understanding of the unique needs and quirks of both dogs and cats. From the playful antics of energetic pups to the graceful independence of feline companions, my experience as a lifelong pet enthusiast has shaped my unwavering commitment to providing them with a loving and nurturing home. Hello Pet Parents! As a passionate animal lover navigating the hybrid work life, I understand the importance of reliable and flexible pet care. With a full-time schedule that spans three days in the office and two at home, my availability adapts to suit your pet's needs. Whether it's drop-by feedings and invigorating walks for your furry companions or a cozy haven for your feline friends through cat boarding, I'm here to ensure that your pets receive the attention, care, and love they deserve. Trust me to make your absence stress-free for both you and your beloved pets! In my dedicated pet care sanctuary, all furry friends are treated like cherished family members, receiving attentive indoor care with a watchful eye on their well-being during supervised outdoor adventures. The indoor haven is equipped with a cozy cat tree for climbing escapades, an array of engaging toys to spark playfulness, and grooming essentials to ensure your pets look and feel their best. With a commitment to providing a secure and stimulating environment, I strive to make their time under my care not just safe, but also enriched with comfort and joy.


14. Virginia M.
“I have known Virginia since we were children, and she's always been an animal lover! I have trusted her with my own pets and she did an excellent job caring for them. If I lived in the same area as her, I would absolutely trust her with helping with my pets again. She treats them as if they are her own.”


15. Presley S.
“Presley is great with pets! She was very tentative and caring with my cats and dogs. She made sure they were safe and cared for. 10/10 recommend”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! As a Puppy Counselor and a dog parent, I’m always surrounded by furry friends—puppies, seniors, and everything in between. Whether your pup loves playing, snuggling, or just hanging out, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. Lots of love, attention, and tail wags guaranteed! The way my job schedule is set up is so I don’t have to work more than 5 hours at a time except for a few occasions I choose to, so your babies will never go too long without attention. I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and can definitely say that I’d feel the same way that you do as I with my own. Dogs have a very special spot in my heart and I believe they deserve the utmost care and attention, treating any dog as my own. I usually ask for a specific routine in the regards of feeding and walking so that you not being there is an easy transition for them, as it does affect many dogs when there are big changes to their routine especially if their owner isn’t there. As well as any behavioral things to keep in mind in regards to their companionship such as playing, sleeping, cuddling, and many other attention-related aspects!
