“Tiffney did a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we were on vacation. She's very communicative and is incredibly kind. She gave us lots of pictures of Callie each day that we really appreciated! Highly recommend!”
“We were very happy with Delaney taking care of our sheltie and shih tzu. She accommodated a change in our initial schedule. She also sent pictures while were away to show the boys walking and playing. I appreciated the way the Rover app works with communicating when check-ins occur. We wouldn't hesitate to have Delaney take care of our boys in the future.”
“Jeannine was wonderful with our cat while we were away for 10 days! She was prompt and reliable with visits and updates and kept us updated. It was wonderful to be able to relax on our vacation knowing she was in such good hands. We would definitely book Jeannine again for future trips! Thank you again!”
About: For a few years, I kept exotic pets like fish and isopods. I've also volunteered at the Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and have spent time looking after the cats and dogs of my friends. I have practically infinite free time before college starts in the fall and my skating season is over, so I have lots of time and energy to make sure your pet has the bet experience possible. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority. I'm ready to do anything to keep them happy and healthy. I look forward to meeting the emotional, behavioral, and physical needs of your pet.
“Taresse is a great dog walker. She is prompt, communicative, and takes pride and getting to know the dogs she walks. Just today she was excited to tell me how she handled my sometimes reactive dog when another dog was escaped off their leash. She handled the situation beautifully and clearly my dog trusts her. While I’m using her because I have a broken knee, I’m not sure we won’t want to continue to use her in the future. Highly recommend her though to anyone looking for a dog walker.”
About: I've take care of multiple different dog breeds ranging from Chihuahuas to Rottweilers. I've also been around different types of dogs ranging from puppies to older dogs that have had medical problems. My schedule is open for the most part and I'm almost always around. My schedule is open for the most part as I am not in school currently. There isn't a whole lot that I need to do currently so I would be able to take care of the dogs most days of the week. The way I care for my pet is I check to make sure whether or not they need to use the bathroom once every hour. I also tend to play with the dog for around two hours out of the day. I walk the dog for about half an hour to an hour depending on the weather. And lastly I have a set time period of when I feed the dog.

About: With 30 years of dog care experience, I’ve been a proud dog owner and caregiver, training and caring for a variety of pups — from Labs and Boxers to two wonderful Staffies.
