Grace was a new Rover for us and she was great! We did a meet-and-greet ahead of time and I could tell she would make sure our fur-baby would be happy. Her home is set up for pets to hang out and her yard is fenced. She sent me a photo every couple days and I could tell that Romeo was right at home. We will use Grace again if we need help.

Once again, Nancy was so kind and so accommodating! She took in a second dog, who has some issues, and once again provided stellar care. I love that I can have complete trust, and know my dogs are safe AND happy!

Kay's home was perfect for Mabel. After spending a weekend at a nice dog hotel, we discovered Mabel thrives more with the home vibe and more personal human interaction. Kay provided a beautiful setting on acreage that's a mix of safety with space. I liked that there weren't multiple dogs other than their friendly golden retriever Brandi that Mabel became friends with. Kay kept us updated daily with words and pictures which I really appreciate. I highly recommend Kay and will definitely go back!

Krista was great! She was flexible and sent cute updates. Finn came home a relaxed, happy boy. It looked like he had so much fun with her dogs! I’d definitely recommend to anyone looking for a responsible, reliable sitter. We hope to have Finn stay with Krista every time we’re in the area!

Diane, Thank you again for taking such good care of our dogs. I love that you took them on a boat ride, go swimming, and play with the other dogs.

Mike and Niki were SO good to our Raven girl! It was evident that they loved and cared for her like she was their own. We appreciated all of the picture updates throughout the weekend! We could see how much Raven enjoyed to be around them, and we think she was a bit sad to leave them! She was spoiled with walks, hikes, and lots of play time! Thanks again for everything, Mike and Niki! We will hands down book again if we find ourselves in the area!

Skylar is one of the best sitters I have found on rover. She is great with animals and very knowledgeable and trust her with watching Dougie 100%. I have already booked her again for my next vacation!

About: I've had dogs in the house since I was a little girl! My boys really love dogs and have just as much energy! I want your pet to leave happy and ready to come back again! I am available on weekends, I am available on week days in the evening also. I just need to know your pets routine and can adjust as needed. I have plenty of space to walk your pet outside and can take them out as many times as needed. Our Rex sleeps with the kiddos and a wonderful snuggler and we love all this kisses and anuggles.

About: I am a huge dog lover<3 Caring for them is so rewarding for me. Learning their unique personalities and daily routines brings so much joy! I have cared for two Bichons for the past seventeen years. Since they both have now crossed over the rainbow bridge I am looking for a way to help others out... whether it is to take their dog for a walk during the week while they are at work or to care for them while their owners are traveling. I am mature and responsible... caring and loving your dog as much as you do. I have a special place in my heart for Senior dogs... my senior Bichon gave me so much love and caring experiences to share with others<3
