“Katie is amazing. My dogs accepted her has pack the first day. She gave me tons of pictures and updates on everything that went on while I was gone! She even brought in my mail! I highly recommend her! She was awesome!”

“"We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Deven as our pet and house sitter! From the start, she showed incredible reliability and consideration for both our dogs and home. She was very gentle and kind with our animals, never kept the dogs in their crates for too long ,and consistently communicated if she needed to be away. One of our cats is older (17+) and one of our dogs is a rescue with high anxiety and they both loved her and her energy! Adhering to special feeding instructions and even taking care of our robot vacuum, she demonstrated a high level of attention to detail. Frequent updates, complete with adorable photos, kept us reassured and connected while away. Her flexibility and adaptability were evident, handling unexpected changes and challenges seamlessly. The house was wonderfully maintained and she even took out the trash for us! We can't emphasize enough how satisfied we were with her service; she went above and beyond. Without hesitation, we would recommend her to friends and family. A five-star experience all around!"”

“Not only was she super responsive but she was so loving send sent pictures and updates. She went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations as a first experience with Rover. Thank you so much for loving on our Lily!”

About: I’m a dedicated pet owner with hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs and cats in my own home. I currently have 3 boxers and 4 cats, so I’m very comfortable handling different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I have experience with crate training, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and providing a safe, structured environment. Whether your dog is high-energy or more laid-back, I make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and treated like part of the family. I have a flexible schedule and am able to provide consistent care throughout the day. Since I already care for my own pets daily, I’m used to maintaining routines and making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and boarding, including weekends. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and plenty of experience managing multiple pets in a calm, structured way. I’m comfortable with crate use if needed and always prioritize safety, supervision, and following your pet’s routine. My home is pet-friendly, and I’ll treat your pet like one of my own while keeping you updated with messages and photos for peace of mind.

We are with them their entire lives, while they are with us for only a portion. I will be gentle and patient with them until they gained my trust. I can bathe them and play with them too, i cannot groom though. But i can make them smell all yummy! College student! I do go to college all year, even in the summer!

I bathe my dog by hand inside my home every 1-2 months (depends on if she gets dirty, she’s got a self-cleaning coat) and she gets fed every night! (she eats at her own pace so i just top off her bowls) She is trained to sit, paw, talk, wait, and lay down! She is my first daughter and my soul dog! I love her to death!!
