“Alexis is very sweet. She and her boyfriend came to my home to do a meet & greet with my dog. Alexis was attentive and interested when learning how to care for my dog. Alexis sent updates when she arrived at my house, sent pictures of my dog, and let me know when she left. My dog is a pitbull and Alexis was excited about this - which warmed my heart lol. Will be hiring Alexis again! :)”
“Jenna and Aiden were absolutely a dream! My dogs were well cared for. We came home to happy healthy dogs and a house in better shape than when we left. They absolutely went above and beyond. They gave us updates on the dogs with pictures. We will be using them again!”
“Andrea was great with Hubble! She's very communicative, punctual, and did a great job with Hubble's anxiety. We will definitely rebook with her.”
“Heather was amazing!! She took such good care of Mac, left our home in great condition and communicated proactively. Also, we were so appreciative that she provided care for the weekend short notice (less than 24 hrs). Highly recommend.”
“Rima could star in a River ad. She is highly diligent and enthusiastic and we are grateful to her for her care of our awesome cat. Rima makes a point of being I. Hand for your return so you can verify everything is in good shape, which is a level of care you won’t find from any folks. You will get many many photos and videos of yore pets. Thanks again to Rima for the thoughtful help!”
“Lauren stayed with our dog while we were away for a few days. She is very nice, prompt, and professional. She sent pictures and kept us updated while we were gone. We came home to a happy dog. We got back later than we expected due to airline issues and she was very accommodating by staying until we got home. I highly recommend her.”
“Sydney was just wonderful with my pup! She stayed the night with him and gave me great, detailed updates and videos… made sure he was well cared for and got plenty of attention while I was gone. I would not hesitate to hire her again,”

“Amanda took excellent care of my two senior dogs. I really appreciate the daily log she kept and the pictures of them she sent me. Maxwell’s eyes, which required drops administered 2X daily looked better than ever. I will definitely contact Amanda again.”
About: I’ve cared for families pets (dogs and cats), whenever needed. This includes walks, over night stays, baths, feeding, medication distribution and potty breaks. I’m a recent kitten-mom, so I’m well-versed in this area. I’m a work from home employee (Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), so I’d love to spend time with your pet(s) during and after these hours. I enjoy going for long walks after work as well, so why do it alone! I follow all rules set by the client and will pick up all messes throughout my visit (from their pet). If their pet has a certain amount of times needed to be let out (at certain times), I follow that plan. This goes for all other orders!
“Shantalee did such an amazing job for us, I would define recommend her to family and friends. She was very respectful, responsible and caring to our pup. Thanks Shantalee!”
“Natasha was wonderful with Bonnie and Clyde. We received regular updates with pictures of the dogs to brighten our day. Natasha also went above and beyond taking care of our house, and we would definitely recommend. Thank you!”
“Lynne is amazing and our pup had the absolute best time with her! She's caring and attentive and respectful of guidelines/instructions! I couldn't recommend her highly enough!”
“Leo was a great house and cat sitter! He was attentive to all our specific needs and would update us with photos and comments daily on how are two cats were doing. We would recommend him to anyone that needs a cat / house sitter.”
“My first experience using Rover. I was actually able to go on vacation and not worry if someone was actually with my dogs. I trusted that they took great care of my pups and that they did! Shannon even washed everything she used and left the house in perfect order. So relieved to be able to find great care for our beloved pets.”
“Ozzy charmed our dogs, and our dogs were charmed by Ozzy. They were a bit late, but communicated that they would be. They fed our dogs, gave them their medications, and set the bar pretty high for us, by giving them lots of love and pets while we were away. We look forward to hiring them again, and we highly recommend them.”
About: I grew up always having a dog. I know how special they can be and the attention they deserve. I'm always happy to help pups get the best care possible. I have many free days to devote to pets. I am available on short notice and always happy to help out to make things easier on your animals. I have experience with dogs that roam the house as well as crate training. I also know how to handle an invisible fence versus a solid one as well as leads.

“This is the second time Kaylee has watched my dog. She's very responsive, sends pictures and updates, and is diligent about sticking to his schedule. I highly recommend Kaylee to take care of your baby!”
