“We loved Brooke! She came for a Drop-in visit. The first time I messaged her, she was quick to respond. She offered to come for a meet and greet free of charge before her first visit. She was easy to talk to and enjoyed our pup. I felt good about asking her to take our fur baby. I appreciated the pictures she sent during her visit. I will definitely use her again!”

“I am so glad we found Bailey!!! It feels so nice to be able to leave town knowing my pups are in good hands. She’s great a communicating and has been SO reliable. Thank you again Bailey!! Haze and Carl and I are so appreciative of you!”

“Kelly was able to accommodate us last minute for a drop in visit for our pup. She was prompt and followed our instructions for our senior boy. We would highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life! I don’t currently have any pets of my own, so I really miss the love, cuddles they bring. Thankfully, I’ve still been able to spend time with friends’ and family members’ pets, and I love every chance I get to care for them! I work as a teacher and I am mainly available in the evenings and on weekends! I will have more availability over the summer starting mid-June. I live near a great walking trail and have a flexible summer schedule, which gives me plenty of availability for daytime drop-ins, walks, and check-ins!
“Wonderful, trustworthy dog sitter. She’s great with our puppy and consistently follows our requests regarding obedience, food, and other details of the visit. She always gives us detailed updates and pictures after her visits, which we love. Knowing she’ll be there to check in on Obie puts us at ease when we want to stay out late or go out of town.”
About: Very friendly towards both dogs and dog owners, flexible with different dog breeds, sizes, and conditions. Comfortable with commutation and offering the best possible service 👏 Pet care fits into my schedule almost the entire day by implementing pet care, walking, spending time, and also feeding dogs that I am currently looking after. I’ve been raised in a dog family my entire life and I’m more than knowledgeable with looking after animals including cats and dogs.
“Thomas has been wonderful with our pup. They have great walks together. He’s kind and responsive, and we feel very comfortable having our big ball of energy of a pup with him!”


“Cassie did such an amazing job taking care of our dogs. She was so kind and attentive and communicated wonderfully. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone, and our dogs loved her so much!”

“We are so lucky to have Grace walk and spend time with our dog Teddy! She is extremely thoughtful, responsible, and a great communicator. She clearly loves animals and is committed to taking excellent care of them. Couldn’t recommend her services more highly.”

“Rosa dropped in and walked my anxious dog during the day while I was out of town. She sent detailed updates after each drop in, which eased my mind as I was far from home. She followed all instructions perfectly. I would absolutely reach out to Rosa again in the future.”

Rosa was so great with our pup Willow! She communicated clearly and coordinated a great meet&greet before our first drop-in to go over details. She arrived promptly and reliably all three days of our booking, and took great care of Willow :) We’ll definitely seek more drop-ins from Rosa soon!

Andrew was great! It was my first time using Rover so I was a little anxious leaving my boys. Andrew was communicative, accommodating our last minute plans, and our timid orange boy came up to him for pets on the first visit, which is a great sign! 😂 Will definitely book with Andrew again!

Katherine was great to meet and it looked like Maddie did well despite her having separation anxiety. I appreciated the pictures and feedback. It looks like Maddie warmed up to her and enjoyed her potty breaks. I would use her again. She showed up as expected which was very important to me!
