Amazing work winning over our 5 month Labradoodle in such a short period of time. Lynae sent updates and pictures of their walk together. We cannot thank you enough for giving us family time to enjoy the caverns knowing that Charlie was in excellent hands.

Colleen was amazing. We were in town for sightseeing and she took our two dogs on 3 walks while we were out and about. She was punctual and very communicative. I would definitely use her again if I’m in the area. I would give her 10 stars if I could! Highly recommend!!!

Ellie helped me care for my 4 month old GSD puppy and high-energy dog last minute, which was so appreciated. She did a wonderful job and I plan to use her for all my pet sitting needs going forward. Highly recommend!

About: WHEN USING ROVER MY PRICES ARE RAISED! PLEASE MESSAGE FOR FURTHER QUESTIONS! Hey there! I’m Reagan. I’m an experienced pet sitter of 3 years, just new to Rover! I love furry friends of all shapes and sizes. I’m well versed in pet nutrition, pet care, and emotional well-being of animals. Open to any animal friend in need of some extra eyes! I work a full time job, but my job allows flexibility for lunchtime visits and is understanding in times of emergencies. I’m available any day of the week, and I’m willing to work with your schedule as needed. I will adapt to your pets standards of care, health, and entertainment needs. I cannot sit in my own home, but I always treat my clients home with the upmost respect.

About: I’ve owned dogs all my life, and for almost the entirety of my adult life I have owned dogs, volunteered at the shelter, picked up strays, and all around just been involved with dogs! I’ve had dogs ranging from puppies to seniors, and love them all I work 6am-3pm Monday through Friday with a lunch at noon all of those days! My dogs get a mid day break and my full attention on weekends and your dogs would get the same. I have a fenced yard where the back yard is separated from the front. Three of my dogs hang out outside during the day, and one stays inside as she gets picked on occasionally and I don’t risk any issues when I’m not here. Your pets would be crated in the house when I’m gone with plenty of time to run and play and be walked during lunch and after work!

About: I've had numerous dogs growing up. My mom's requirements were if we wanted a dog we had to care for it ourselves. I've taken care of neighbors animals which included giving medicine to their dogs. We have a huge backyard that any fur baby will love. We just adopted a super adorable toy poodle. He is now 9 months old and has all his vaccines. He is the baby of our family. We have two daughters who are 10 and 11 and they consider him their baby brother. My family loves animals and we will treat them as our own. 💜 I am currently a stay at home mom the only time I am busy is when I take my kids to school or pick them up. I have a large fenced yard with gates that way your baby can play safe and sound. No matter in our home or yours, your fur baby will be treated just like our own.

About: I have two years experience working for a vet. I’m very caution with my job duties I listen to every detail given. I can administer medicine and insulin for pups or cats when needed. I would care for other pets as if they are my own. I do work a full time job at a vet clinic and do nails for few clients. I have time between my full time job to watch and care for you animals I have a fenced backyard with two friendly dogs and I do have a indoor cat. I’ve watched pets for family and close friends I normally would go to the house to check and feed them.

About: I’ve cared for many animals all my life. I have had many different animals growing up, worked in an animal shelter, and have a true compassion for animals. I’m currently in college but still have a fairly open schedule. I have different times of availability throughout the week and am available most weekends! I have watched dogs in their parents homes before. Just give me specific directions on how to care for your pet and I will follow! :)

However I do have a flexible schedule I’ve watched over plenty of dogs throughout my life and understand dog behavior. I have watched over friends houses in the past and have been very respectful of their homes.

Lynae is absolutely awesome! We were nervous about having a stranger watch over our two cats, but they were so comfortable around Lynae. She was amazing and made sure to send us lots of photos.
