“Sam was awesome!! She took such great care of our pup :) we had photos, and a great summery of her drop in with our dog. She was respectful of our space and treated our dog like her own. Definitely will use again!”
“Awesome! I’m so happy to have found Nikkita:-) she’s great with my fur baby:-)”
“Breanna was amazing with Maggie! She was very communicative, spent quality time with her and took her on walks. She even brought her dog over to play with Maggie and I thought that was awesome! I would definitely recommend Breanna anytime and I know that we will be asking her again, if we need a sitter in the future!”
“Highly recommend Tiffani! She recently watched our pups while away on vacation. She kept us updated every day with how they were doing. She sent daily pics and progress reports. She is absolutely amazing. I plan to use her again in the future! She provides top notch care!”
“Gabbi is an amazing dog sitter! She took wonderful care of our pups, providing plenty of love and attention. We were at ease knowing our fur babies were in great hands. Highly recommend her services!”
“The most wonderful experience with Rover I’ve ever had - it was truly a blessing finding Christine. I almost feel hesitant to leave this review, only because I don’t want her to be too busy with other clients so I can keep her for myself ? LOL! From the bottom of my heart, I can express nothing but the truest gratitude for how well Christine cared for my two dogs and cat. She sent me pictures and descriptions of each drop-in visit, and even went as far as cleaning up their anxiety- driven diarrhea mess from the carpet and taking our garbage to the curb. If you’re looking for someone to truly care for your animals, this woman is the real deal and I honestly cannot recommend her enough! Thank you beyond words, Christine, for loving our babies as your own.”
“Jena was awesome, she communicated with me very well. I received lots of photos and good feed back. I would most certainly have her back again. She is also very prompt, and showed my baby lots of care.”
“This was our first time using Jessica. She took care of our 6 month old kitten, Nia, for nearly four days with great care, even hanging out with Nia for a while one of those days. We would definitely use her again when we travel.”
About: I had a yorkie terrier named Demi who grew up alongside me until she passed my final year of high school. I have experience with dogs of all sizes but I also have experience with taking care of a senior pet and accommodating them and their needs, as well as spoiling them a little bit more since they’re in the golden years. I love all animals and will be sure to care for them in the safest manner while still respecting them and loving them! From January-June I work remotely on Mondays and Fridays. From July-December I’m remote everyday except for Tuesdays. I’ll be able to work from home and watch your fur babies while you’re away. I am currently a cat owner. I’ll be sure to follow and respect rules of your house but also any routines you’ve already established with your fur baby. My job provides me flexibility so I’ll be able to accommodate bathroom breaks, play time, etc. I’ll be sure to provide your fur baby the best and safest company.
About: I have had dogs my entire life. As an adult I’ve always had 2-3 dogs of my own and I’m currently a foster with a local dog rescue. I hold a full time job where I am normally not gone more then 7 hours a day. I don’t like to leave my own dogs alone very long and will stop home to let them out if I need to be out of the house longer. I have a fenced in yard where dogs are able to run and play. Dogs are welcome to snuggle with us on the floor or couch. We have plenty of toys available for pets, extra bowls and plenty of love and attention to go around.
“Maura did an excellent job. She cleaned the litter boxes and swept up around them. She washed the bowls and left everything very neat. We would absolutely hire her again. We would like to give her a $20 tip and say thank you very much. Jeanne and Bob Crossman”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, my whole life, including my own. We had a senior dog that needed a point in his life to have diapers so we know how to medicate and take care of senior dogs also. I do work a part-time job very close to home. So if I need to come home or feel the need to let them out again, it’s flexible enough for me to leave if needed. I have two dogs so we have a fenced in yard and we also have a petitioned room with crates in the room, but my dogs only go in there if they want to rest. I do not crate my dogs, but you’re welcome to if that’s the routine for your dog.
“Another great visit by Mike with Roscoe! He really understands how to work and play with Roscoe who can be a bit picky. Roscoe is always happy and relaxed when I get home.”
