“This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous dropping our dogs off. The second we walked into Kayla’s home, our doubts instantly disappeared. She made it very comfortable for our pups, even to the point that our senior dog wasn’t in a rush to leave when we arrived to pick them up! We were very thankful that she made it comfortable for them and would definitely use her again. Thanks Kayla!”

“Khanh is definitely a 5 star dog sitter. She did everything and more to make Sammy comfortable. I was totally taken away with her love and caring for my best buddy. She communicated with me almost daily during the stay and provided pictures of Sammy's activities. She provided medical care for Sammy that had been prescribed by my Veterinarian. She is the most loving, caring person- Thanks a million Khanh Darold Irvine”

About: I am a 4th grade teacher with summers off. I have a passion for walking and dogs. So this is perfect for me! I walk my 90 lb chocolate lab (quite energetic and happy) miles everyday around the neighborhood and hiking trails. He is a pretty reactive dog (all love) so I am skilled in knowing what a dog needs and how they are reacting to the external variables on a walk, and how to react to that. I would love to meet you and your animal best friend! I have the summer off, so I am available this summer. Once school gets back in session, weekend care would also be something I am interested in. I am mainly available for dog walking and/or taking care of your animal in your home. I have helped raise 3 puppies (now big dogs) throughout the past 8 years. I am very well aware of what the animal may need and how to react to that.
“September did a wonderful job with our dog Digory. It was so nice knowing he was being so well taken care of and having such a great time while we were away! She sent lots of pictures of all the fun he was having which helped our kids so much while being away from him. We would definitely ask September to host Diggy again in the future!”
“Hailey has been a life saver twice in two weeks for 2 of our dogs. She took last minute bookings and communicated the entire time with photos! The dogs came home tired which always means they had a great time. She obviously pays VERY close attention to them as well because she noticed the symptoms of my dogs UTI returning and immediately let me know and was able to give her meds. I will use her every time going forward!”
“Treated our Marshall like family. She was attentive to his needs and introduced him slowly to other pets. She Spent the first night cuddling him on the couch. Then he spent the remainder of his time cuddling with her in her bed. She sent so many updates, videos, and pictures. Marshall seemed to enjoy his time with Madison Alot. He even gave her a goodbye kiss 💗. Best experience ever!!! Definitely recommend Madison to anyone and we definitely will look to book her again in the future if needed.”
“Diana was wonderful with our Coco. She assured coco will be fine and kept responding promptly for all messages. She was accommodative of the pick up time change as well! Thanks Diana”
