“Jessica was absolutely fantastic! She took amazing care of Elio while we were away for a few days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Her communication was incredible—she kept us updated daily with messages and adorable photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Elio was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We would highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and attentive sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Chasity and her family were great sitters! She sent me pictures everyday to keep me updated. I highly recommend her.”
“Larissa did a great job taking care of my two dogs while I was away. My dogs were happy and well groomed from her services. Thank you so much!!”
“Clayton was absolutely amazing with our pups for the week we went out of town. From the moment we did a meet and greet I knew he was so trustworthy and going to take great care of our dogs while we were out of town. Communication was great, super reliable and sent tons of updates. One of my dogs is very reactive towards other dogs, and he even took the time to do slow introduction to his pup to ensure that they would be okay. He did not mind that our pick up time went a bit over and even offered to keep them another night. We searched for weeks on Rover before deciding to book with just anyone and we will 100% use Clayton again anytime we go out of town. He is an amazing dog boarder and an even better dog trainer! We plan on having him work with our pups in the future for some training needs. 10/10 recommend.”

“Bentley sure enjoyed his stay with Fred and his family. Fred sent periodic pictures of Bentley to let me know he was doing well and he was happy. I will absolutely use Rover.com again, and definitely Fred and his family!”
“Tianna was wonderful. She took great care of my 11 month old boxer for 2 weeks. She sent me pictures daily of Gracie and kept me up to date as to how she was doing. Recommend Tianna to anyone wanting someone to love and care for their dog.”
“Susie and her daughter took great care of our senior dog. She had a great sleep-over and even got to sleep in the bed. I'm sure she was cuddled and spoiled.”
About: Dogs, cats, birds, and fish . . . These are some of the best friends I’ve had over the last 45 years. All of my pets have lived long, healthy lives based on excellent feeding, grooming, and regular medical care. I genuinely love animals and have a very watchful eye on their well-being. I am a retired school administrator with a 36-year history of creating productive learning environments and protecting the lives of thousands of school children. Care-taking is my thing. Now, I have a very flexible schedule/calendar, and I am wide open to opportunities to meet and care for animals of all shapes, sizes, and colors. I am available to follow instructions for drop-in or pet/house-sitting in the client’s home—including feeding and letting dogs out for potty breaks, feeding and checking in on cats, and feeding fish or birds.
