Bella had a wonderful week-long stay with Heather. Heather was great about having a meet & greet beforehand and was very accommodating about having our adult son pick-up Bella before we returned to town. I love that Heather only takes one client at a time, has a huge fenced yard for play and took Bella on the daily walks she's accustomed to. Many thanks for loving our girl, Heather!

Agus is extremely kind and even allowed my puppy to stay an extra night when I had an emergency. He is super flexible, easy to work with, and a very nice person! Rue always comes home so happy and tired from all the playing with Harry Potter!! Thank you so much Agus— your kindness doesn’t go unnoticed!

Vanessa was great! We really appreciated her willingness to conduct a meet-and-greet prior to booking. As a result, our dog Winnie felt at home at the outset and thanks to the daily reports and photos, we knew she was enjoying her new surroundings and friends -- both canine and human. I wouldn't hesitate to book Vanessa again.

Evie and Fritz are truly the best dog sitters I have ever used! Our dog Harper is usually very uncomfortable around new people and does not tend to do well when we go on trips. I could tell very early on that she looked happy and relaxed with them after being there for only about a day. They made a clear effort to get to know Harper and make her as comfortable as possible and sent me so many photos and video to keep me updated on how she was doing. Highly highly highly recommend Evie and Fritz, we will definitely be a repeat customer!!!

Emily is a great sitter! She sent cute pictures every day and it seemed like Rigatoni had fun at her place. He has a daily pill + cleaning routine for an infected nail and she did a great job with that. Rigatoni clearly loved hanging out with Emily and Lamar- we had a hard time getting him to leave! It was really easy coordinating pick-up and drop-off because Emily was really easygoing and flexible with times. We’re really glad we found her on Rover and I’m sure Rigatoni’s looking forward to staying with her again sometime soon!

This was our second experience with Megan. I had no worries and/or reservations about leaving Nola with her. When I picked Nola up she was happy and tired. She had her first experience ‘socializing’ with a pack of friends. So glad we found Megan. She is our ‘go to’ for future bookings 💜

Cathy took on our quirky, energetic boy with optimism and open arms. She patiently took notes on all his behavioral quirks and was happy to accommodate his need for longer walks. This was our first time boarding him, and he seemed to thrive at Cathy’s and enjoy tons of snuggles and pets. It was so nice to feel so at ease about him while we were traveling and we highly recommend Cathy!!

Kellie was great at watching Atlas! She really went above and beyond at taking care of him. She made sure to ask questions about his routine to see what would make him most comfortable and took him to a bunch of new places / trails for walks and to the dog park. She sent photos of him enjoying himself and even got him treats and toys which was so sweet of her! You can tell she really loves dogs and I would highly recommend her to anyone who needed a pet sitter.

About: I’ve spent my whole life around animals since I was a kid. That being said, I’m comfortable around dogs, cats, exotic pets, birds, reptiles- you name it, I’m a huge animal lover! When I moved away for college I brought my childhood dog with me who I had since she was a puppy. Unfortunately she faced some health issues as she got older, but I was lucky enough to be able to care for her until she was 17! Because of my time spent with her, I am comfortable and experienced with dogs from the puppy age to seniors, have administered pills and topical medication numerous times, have no problem with bathing and grooming, etc. I also fostered a dog and started up my rover after my dog passed and since then I’ve had the pleasure of caring for many more fur babies. No pet is a challenge for me! I work full time during the week, but am looking to fill my free time with a serotonin boost from your pup! I love dogs and as a dog owner, I know that it’s sometimes hard to fit 3 walks a day into a crazy packed schedule, or spontaneously take a day trip somewhere, so I’d like to help! I am typically available for evening walks during the week but and completely flexible on weekends! It is my goal to ensure you that I will be respectful of your home and privacy, as well as your dogs normal schedule. I am reliable and trust worthy, and can adapt to any dogs personality, whether they are shy, reactive, hyper, or sleepy! I’ve walked dogs as small as 5 pounds to as big as 90, so no dog will be a challenge! I’m very attentive while on walks to make sure your dog does not hurt themself/ eat something they shouldn’t/ mess with another dog. I can be flexible with any precautions I’d need to take with your dog whether that be medication, assistance with mobility or anything else! Your dogs comfort is my first priority!

They spent so much time and focus on him and he had a wonderful time with his doggy play friend. I definitely recommend booking them to watch your beloved pet.
