About: Always joking that dogs are superior but in truthfulness love all animals. Experienced with dogs but open to providing care for other pets. Will strictly adhere to owner requests, so long as they are humane. (Furniture ok vs not allowed, food/walking schedule, treats, etc.). There will be no shortage of affection and attention, assuming the pet is receptive. Open to assisting with reactive or challenging pets. Attempting to build a trusting bond is an inherent desire. Work from home so (brief) walks, potty breaks, playtime, etc can be provided through entirety of day. Longer walks before 8am or after 5pm. Available 24/7 on weekends and holidays. Holiday vacation for me this year is 12/21 through 1/5, so will be available 24/7 during that window as well. Live alone so no concerns about other pets or children. Have decent sized yard but do require a leash since there is no fence. Safe, quiet, and friendly neighborhood.
“April was wonderful with our little JRT. She is very caring and attentive sending us texts and photos during her stay. We appreciate finding someone like her to look after our little guy !”
“Very personable, she kept me informed while we were away. She responded to my request in the same day.”
“Meredith was Great! We had a few days that we had to be away from our home for a Funeral and didn't have anyone to care for our two dogs. We connected with Meredith on Rover, she came over to meet the dogs and we set up her visits while we were gone. She kept us updated and sent pics, spent some time cuddling with them at each visit! Everything we requested was taken care of and she was so sweet and attentive to their needs. We will definitely be calling on Meredith to watch our babies!!”
“Carla was so great with my dogs, Pepper and Honey! Communication was seamless and she sent adorable photos of my pups every time she visited. I came home to some very happy and well taken care of pups!”
“I am very happy with the care Trish provided for my cat while I was away. She was reliable and responsible. My cat came out to say hi, who is usually shy, which says a lot! I received regular updates and photos. When I returned, everything was clean and organized.”
“Professional from intro to daily visits. Highly recommended.”
“Tracy seemed genuinely interested in the well being and activity needs of my pup. She was prompt and took good care of her. I plan to continue to using her services when she’s available.”

About: My motto is that it's my responsibility to make sure that each dog under my care is HAPPY and SAFE. Every day that I'm with your pup, I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it's my duty to make sure that your pup gets to experience the same kind of love and care that they're used to at home. I'm a huge dog lover, so making pups as happy as I can, just comes second nature for me! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure that we're all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it's always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I'm a welcome presence here to make friends, and I'm sure we'll be best buddies in no time at all. I know how difficult it is to be away from your best friend, so communication is the name of my game. I'll make sure to send plenty of regular updates with accompanying pictures so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having! I’m hoping to make Rover a full-time career! That’s how much I love animals! I’m very flexible with all your pet caring needs so if there’s anything I can help with, please let me know! Although I'm unable to watch your pups at my home, I'll make sure they're safe at yours! I make sure I understand the pups needs, routine, and any specific care instructions provided by you, the owner. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, ensuring their environment is safe and clean, exercising them, and administering medications or treatments if required.
