“Kira was AMAZING with my puppy and my sister’s dog. She was reliable and I always knew I could count on her to show up and her communication was great as well. Highly recommend her!! 🤗”
“My cat is always super skiddish of people, but they both came right out to Krystin when she stopped to check on them. We were both so surprised! I was very appreciative of the pictures she sent to me as well!! Thanks again!! I’ll be using her again to watch them for me soon.”
“Adelynn did an amazing job taking care of my puppy and four year old dog, 15 year old cat, and saying hello to my chickens. She sent adorable photos so I knew they were all ok and having fun while I was away. She was able to manage feeding times with my grumpy four year old and puppy that thinks all food should be hers. She responded quickly to messages and let us know how things were going. I highly recommend hiring her to watch your pets. Your pets will be in good hands!”
“Christine is an excellent dog sitter. Her visits were right on time and our 3 dogs loved her. We live a bit further, in Champion Hills but it was no issue at all for her to come over and let them out 3 times a day. We will definitely use her again and I highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs.”
“Megan and Nicole did an amazing job caring for our boxer! It was our first time using the rover app and cannot recommend it enough. They were very caring and thoughtful towards our pup. Definitely will be rebooking in the future!”
“Amber was so great to my cat, Jerry. He gets anxious when left alone for a bit, so it was a relief knowing someone like Amber was coming around to entertain him and give him some love. She was great with communication, and I also loved that she brought her daughter with her to play with Jerry. I know Jerry loved that extra attention!”
“Words cannot express how grateful we are for everything Ambre did for us! She went well above her duties to take care of Mystery our Boxer but also our home . She is very professional yet personable. She definitely superseded our expectations utilizing this service. She compliments this service splendidly!”
“Samantha did a wonderful job taking care of all our babies. She administered medication, made sure they all go the attention they needed and was kind enough to remember small things. I will be booking her in the future. 🙏”
“Elizabeth is absolutely wonderful. Communicative, willing to walk my reactive dog, very conscientious and I cannot recommend her enough. I can’t wait to use her again to take care of my babies! I’ve already signed up for another visit.”
“Katrina and I faced an unusual circumstance when a vet stated my sweet kitty should be put down just as I was leaving for a trip. My sweet ole kitty has asthma and then an additional diagnosis of feline thyroid disease; she hadnt ate in three days. I discussed the situation with Katrina and decided to let her work her magic. I am so relieved and happy with my decision. My sweet kitty started eating again while Katrina gave her pills twice a day and cared for her. I returned to my Fur baby more alert, loudly demanding where I was, and her appetite returning. I am so happy to be with my fur baby during her last leg of lifes adventure.”
About: Able to bond with animals easily. Have had several dogs over the span of their life ( some for 17 years ) Know what to look for in regards to medical, exercise, and lap time. Would treat them like my own, and mine are my family. I am retired, have dependable transportation, and always ten minutes early. I am retired and have very few obligations. When I commit to a schedule for your pet, that becomes my priority. Accepting all schedule suggestions. Dax..a mixed breed rescue is going on 10 this year. He has a porch and an outside dog run along the side of the house. He tends to venture off to the neighbors dogs when he finds the opportunity. So he is leash walked when we go out. He has a free run of the house, as well as my brothers dog when she visits ( bernadoodle )

“Jill was awesome! She made an instant connection with our dog. She shared great photos of our pup having a good time. We felt comfortable with her immediately and the entire time.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child. I grew up with dogs and have had my own dogs as well! I currently have a senior dog and an adult dog. I have experience giving medicine and injections. I also have worked with many dog trainers, which has given me great insight on how to work with all dogs of different behaviors and personalities! I work full time from home with a flexibly job, so I am able to easily get take pets out for potty breaks and walks. If the dog I am sitting is at my house and gets along well with other dogs, we will do group walks with my dogs! If not, we will do solo walks. We also have a fully fenced in back yard. I have a fully fenced backyard and baby gates to separate the upstairs and downstairs of my home. My two dogs are used to having other dogs around, but can easily be separated to different parts of the home if needed. I can also easily work with a crate if you are crate training your dog / they are already crate trained.
