“Christine was very kind and responsive and sent pictures during her drop-in. She cleaned up a little mess one of our babies made and even left some homemade dog treats. Great first experience with Rover, thank you!”
“Libby was a God send. We are so thankful for finding her on Rover. We have been worried for a long time about finding the right sitter for our Archie dog and Libby is the perfect person. I can’t wait to use her again! We were lucky enough to have another sitter turn us down and then we found Libby. Our Meet and Greet was as smooth as possible. When my husband made a mistake on the date and Libby showed up when she was not needed, she graciously came back the next day at the correct time. We couldn’t have asked for anything more for our dog, who happens to require a little extra attention. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Libby!”
“Rodney was great. He came to greet my pups ahead of the service date. He sent me pics throughout his visits and my pups were content and seemed happy when we got home. We will request Todney again.”
“Heidi was great with Chewie our Great Dane! She was quick to respond to all of our needs, kept us up to date on all Chewies activities and gave us the peace of mind from being away from our baby! Would definitely recommend her for doggy care.”
About: My whole life my parents have had dogs so I’ve grown up around dogs since I was an infant, this also means that they’ve had quite a few different puppies over the years and I have helped train them. I am the go to person for all of my friends and family. If they need someone to watch their pets while they’re gone I absolutely love seeing their animals and taking care of them and I treat everyone’s animals as if they’re my own and do the things that I would want others to do for my pets. During the school year, I work as a teaching assistant at an elementary school. This means that my summers are very open and free to watch others pets and give them plenty of love and attention. I care for pets in others homes as if they were my own pet, I will make sure to play with them and feed them and get them outside, but also just cuddle them if they like that and give them the space if they also would prefer that.
“Susanna was great! Even before booking with Susanna she came and met our cat, Albie, and was very personable in meeting Albie and taking notes on how to care for her. Susanna was great with keeping us up to date on when she was going to do her drop in and even took a few videos of her playing with Albie. Highly recommend Susanna for caring for your "fur-baby" and we look forward to book with Susanna again!”
About: I have had pets my whole life. My first cat grew up with me. My parents got him while I was in Preschool. I have many fond memories of him, and used to help with his care whenever I could. I have house/dog sat for neighbors while I was growing up. I have experience raising a Pitbull, he was an awesome brindle coated sweetheart. He was my roommate's dog but I loved him as I would my own. I also raised a Shiba Inu, she was amazing. So beautiful, and loyal. She was my best friend for 14 wonderful years. Anyone who knows that breed knows that they can be especially challenging, but we got along great. I volunteer at Cascades Humane Society in Jackson. I love going there in my free time to walk dogs, cuddle or play with cats or just try to help with anything I can. Currently my close family (parents and siblings) have six dogs and six cats combined between all of us. I am also the Dogfather to some of them, and they would come to me if anything happened. Right now I have a 13 year old rescue cat named Daisy. She gets special food from the vet, and regular pills. She also gets lots of love and lap time. I also have a Norwegian Buhund puppy. He is super friendly and outgoing. I have walked dogs of all sizes and personalities. From Huskys that want to go, go, go! to lazy little dogs just want to sniff and stroll. With our own fur baby. We have a regimented feeding schedule with our cat. Breaking up her can of food into many smaller meals throughout the day to help her with her conditions. Our dog gets multiple daily walks and lots of attention as he is still just a pup and prone to “tasting” things he shouldn’t. We’re doing lots of redirection. I spent years as a maintenance man for a property management company. I also spent years as an appliance repair man. Respecting people, their homes, and furry friends is nothing new to me. I have been trying to absorb as much information about animal behavior as possible and do my best to communicate with animals in a way they understand. Giving your dog a friendly greeting is very different from how most people greet them. Some need some time and an indirect approach. Walking straight toward a dog head on is instinctually considered quite rude in canine interactions. Cats also have their own language and way of doing things. I try hard to always respect that.

About: I have taken care of pets since I can remember. I have been a dog sitter, a cat sitter, bunny sitter and even a bird sitter. I have a senior dog that is almost 13 and I also take care of my sons 160lb German Shephard (he's a big boy) I also have two Painter turtles. My daughter needed a companion after her dog passed so she took our black cat to live with her. I love all animals and if given the chance I will treat any fur baby in my care as my own. I have taken care of my daughter two dogs. One was a Chihuahua mix who just passed at 16 and the other was a Blue Heeler who just passed at 8 . I have also taken care of my sister's two German Shepherd dogs. One is 8 the other is a rescue and he is almost 2. If entrusted with your fur baby, I will cuddle, kiss, love and protect them as my own. I work night shift and am on a 5/2 schedule so I will have plenty of time to make sure your babies are taken well care of. I will make sure your pets are played with fed and watered and kept safe at all times. They will be well taken care of.
About: I grew up in a 6 cat household at one point, so I have the most experience working with cats, however I've cared for many family members dogs while they are away, such as my sister's very active 5 year old, blue heeler mix (Sora) that she has had since 2021. I am comfortable caring for, feeding, playing, and walking small to medium dogs. My schedule is pretty flexible and open at the moment as I am studying to take a board certified exam and applying to future positions within my field. I can assist in early mornings, midday or in the evenings. Unfortunately since I have two cats at home, I am unable to board other animals at our location. I am flexible and adaptive to caring for your pets in your home for drop in visits, depending on their discussed needs.

Robyn H.
“Robyn took extremely great care of my 2 boys when (chihuahua/terrier and a beagle/blueheeler) I asked her to either let them out for me or watch them for a few hours. She treated them as if they were her own and spoiled them way more than she would her own kids! She is really great at giving medications on time and following any directions without any hesitation. I am very particular about my boys to the point where I would leave a page or two of directions and tips to help take care of them. She had no problems following that at all. You will definitely get the best care for animals with her!”
