“Jackie did a great Job doing daily drop in care for our elderly cat. She was friendly and understanding about his routine,, that has become higher maintenance now that he is older. We enjoyed Her daily photos of our old man! It helped us feel more relaxed about being away. Grateful for Jackie’s care and would recommend her to others.”
“Sean and Emilee provided updates and photos each visit. We’d happily book them again.”
“Michael, is fantastic. He was very communicative and even offered to grab packages while we were out of town. He sent photos from all visits and was diligent about cleaning the cat boys box and ensuring that they were fed separately due to dietary requirements. We will absolutely be working with him again A+. Thank you for an awesome experience!”
About: Hello, I'm Tammy. I may be new to the Rover pack, but I sure know a thing or two about loving dogs full heartedly. I have years of experience with obedience training with dogs at any age. I am also able to care for senior dogs with love and compassion. I'm willing to work with you and your schedule as much as possible. I feel it's important that you can trust and know that your pet will be safe with me as a person and in my home. Your pet will be loved as if they were my own. I recently lost my dog (Amazing Grace) that was a rescue from Louisiana who was brutally tortured. I saw her on Fox 9 News, and yes, I was the lucky one out of hundreds of applicants to adopt her and have her in my life. She was the sweetest girl who brought joy to my life every day! Unfortunately, Grace was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma and the chemo treatments were unsuccessful. It was the hardest thing to let her go, but it was the most selfless act of love, and I know she is free from pain. I can share a YouTube video of our rescue, which was also aired on Fox 9 News. I currently am working remote 2-3 days per week, and I have flexibility on days I am in office. Additionally, I am available on weekends and Holidays. I have a secure 6-foot privacy fence that will ensure your pets safety. I will go outside with your fur baby during potty breaks and playtime. I want to assure you that your pet(s) will always be supervised in my yard. Your pet is allowed on furniture in my home. I also have a large kennel that can be used if your pet is shy and wants to feel secure that way. I won't close the door so they can gain confidence in my presence.
“Brandy was wonderful with my dogs! I got pictures daily and I could tell my dogs loved her!”
“Kim K did an amazing job with our almost 16 year old picky kitty. It was the first time we had only one to watch and we were worried about her getting too lonely. She greeted Kim for pets and even go back to bed before the end of the visit, which meant she was happy! We will definitely be using Kim again for all our pet needs 😊”

“I had a wonderful experience with Samantha watching my cat Molly. She was attentive, responsible, and made sure Molly was well taken care of. I really appreciated her dedication and the loving care she provided. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve cared for my own animals for over 25 years. Throughout the years I have had all different breeds. Ive fostered over 10 dogs. I’ve taken care of dogs cats fish and Guinea pigs for others the last 15 yrs. I work part time hrs at an elementary school in the area during the school year. In the summer I’m home with my two kids. Pet care for my own dogs is breakfast and walks. Play time. Nap. Dinner and walks. Play and snuggles. Last walk of the night. Then more snuggles. I’m on their schedule. Dogs typically get cared for right away in the morning. As well as the second I get home if it’s a work day. Otherwise I will follow whatever directions you have for your dog. They will be well loved and well cared for. I go above and beyond for the fur babies.

“Brianna has been doing drop in/walk visits with Parker. She’s fantastic with him, so clearly a dog lover!!! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of him, and I would highly recommend her!!”
“So kind and took great care of our cat.”
About: I am super detail oriented which will come in need when it comes to sticking to their schedule. I also have been around many different types of trained animals. Anywhere from dogs who know how to use the bathroom in the weeds to no rules or training at all. I will cater to their needs! I am currently a SAHM but I have babysitters that I can utilize when a job comes up! Who doesn’t love animals?! I unfortunelty don’t get to own one due to my family having allergies which is why I would love to be apart of this service! I will follow any schedule YOU set! It’s all about their schedule and how they feel safe best! I feel as though I have a gentle demeanor which will hopefully help with the more skittish ones.
About: Hi! Im Kerri! I grew up on a farm and we had cats, dogs, and bunny rabbits. I have always love animals and have a LOT of experience caring for them. I will love and care for your dog just as you would so you can enjoy your time away without any worry. I have experience with older animals, I know animal CPR, I can administer medication or ear drops and anything else your dog may need. I will send you updates and send pictures while you are gone so you can see the fun they are having! I have 3 kids at home who are great with animals so your dog will get lots of cuddles and play time. I would love to care for your pet while you are away :) My husband and I alternate days working at home so someone will always be home to take care of your pet. I will follow the schedule that your dog is accustomed to so that they can feel comfortable in their new home away from home while you are away. I treat each dog like family and let them pick where they are comfortable sleeping and relaxing unless otherwise specified by you. We are in a convenient location just a mile off of highway 35 which make drop of and pick up easy. I will take your dog for a couple walks a day on leashes and they will be secure in the house unless taken outside on a leash. I will abide by your instruction left for your dog. Please let me know if you have any special request and I will make that happen!
