We highly recommend Logan. He was great with our dog Moxie. Logan sent update texts with pictures several times while we were away. Definitely will hire Logan again.

TL;DR - Morgan was great and we highly recommend her. This was our first time using Rover, and I was skeptical and nervous. Usually we have family or friends watch our dogs while we are out of town, but needed an alternative this time around, which is where Rover came in. After reading reviews on several people, we reached out to Morgan to see if she would be available to watch our dogs in our home over an extended weekend. Right off the bat we were impressed with how quickly Morgan responded. After a few messages back and forth, we were sold. Morgan was prompt and professional. She was where she said she’d be when she said she’d be there. Our 3 large dogs took to her immediately! Any apprehensions I initially had, disappeared. She provided updates on their wellbeing over the weekend, and provided the same level of care to our dogs as we would have ourselves — which I think is what everyone is looking for in a sitter. I highly recommend Morgan. She’ll provide the peace of mind you’re looking for. We will certainly reach out to her again in the future.

This is the third time that Levi has taken care of my pups over the weekend and he is seriously the best!! Pups are happy and gets great walks with him and gets great snuggle times with him too ??? Levi is very trustworthy, dependable and reliable and I will always see if he is available first before I look for any other rover pup companions. Thank you again Levi for taking such good care of Chico and Atis ?

About: I've worked with animals off all kinds, ages, sizes, and requirements since I was 10. Everyone i know comes to me for pet help/care. I take a special intrest in training. I currently have a border collie mix who i practice sports such as agility and bikjoring. She also love trick training and obedience training. I was in a vet course in high school for two years so I've got plenty of experience with all sizes and species of animals. There i learn how to give oral medication, signs of parasites/disease, dog body language and the importance of mental & physical stimulation that sent me on my way to being a dog nerd. My job has me working weekends during the slow season and being an active person I need something to fill my off time. So I have Monday- Thursday to work with your schedule. I have worked with reactive animals as well as own one so im exceptional at dog body language and i focus on making a dogs walk/Visit as stress-free as possible. My experience with reactive dogs helps me stay patient and calm in stressful situations.

About: I've taken care of dogs since for many years. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I also trained my parents dogs and my siberian husky. I enjoy taking care of your animals while you go on vacation or need someone to watch them for a day. I will make sure they get the attention while you're gone. I will also send you photos of your fur babies while you're having fun on your vacation. I know it can be quite nerve wracking to let someone else look after your pets, when they become family to you. I am always willing to do meet and greets prior to the time you need me, to make you and your animals feel more comfortable.

Aria took diligent care of our pup Ellie while we were both away on work trips. When Ellie wasn't feeling well Aria kept me up to date the whole time, which made me feel comfortable in what could otherwise be a very concerning situation. She even gave Ellie a bath when she rolled around in the mud! Thanks Aria for all your help 🙏

Mackenzee did a great job. Our dogs are pretty low maintenance and don’t need 24 hour care which worked out perfect with her schedule. Mya have an ear issue that came up when we left and she stepped right in with the ear wash and cleaning it out. She sent us updates and a few pictures which was nice to see our pups happy in their own environment. Would highly recommend Mackenzee and will definitely have her stay again.
