Lacey was excellent with my Australian Shepards! She kept me updated and informed on their walks and care. She even was able to help assess how to provide special care for the smaller one who is a bit timid and easily bossed by big sister! Thank you so much Laceyn I felt like my pets were being loved even while I was away! Will book again 💯

Jessica was great! She took time out of her night to come visit Koda the night before she walked him and see how they did with each other! She was also a great walker and was willing to just hang out with him outside of his kennel and play with his toys! We will definitely be going back to Jessica again!

Brad was amazing with our dog! He was incredibly conscious and respectful about maintaining any routines and training we had already established with our dog and was great with our sometimes unruly boy! I was very impressed with how communicative he was and took very well composed and extremely cute photos to send us! I would absolutely recommend Brad!

About: I have been around and cared for animals for most of my life! Ranging from mostly cats of all ages to older dogs. Previously I’ve done home visits for check-ins and walks, to house-sitting for those on vacation. I am currently a full-time student, so I have a flexible schedule in between classes during the day and after 5 p.m. I can accommodate overnight care and I am available on the weekends! I am a full-time student, so during the week, I am unavailable... Mon. - 12 pm - 4 pm Tues. & Thurs. - 6 am - 6 pm Wed. & Fri.- 6 am - 11 am, 2 pm - 4 pm On weekends I am majorly available! Within your home, I would be more than happy to perform whatever duties are needed to keep your animals safe and happy. From kettling them if needed, to leashed walks. Just let me know what works best for you. I’m used to watching large dogs in un-fenced yards and having to crate one of them when I leave. Also used to either just take them out to go or take them on long 20-30 minute walks so they could get their exercise.

I wish I could give even more of a tip (rover won't let me give more than 30%), but Monica did an amazing job today. My dog had an accident in the house and she cleaned it up even though she didn't have to. Words cannot describe how awesome Monica is. 12/10 would recommend to anyone.

I trust Morgan with my two children (1 & 7) for any extended period of time. If I had a dog I would only choose one with her help. She has the perfect temperament for both dogs and children. She is also an amazing friend. She is very trustworthy, honest, and caring. Morgan takes care of her sisters’ dogs whenever they need her to, and she is accommodating to each dog’s specific needs. She has experience with both puppies and senior dogs. Morgan would make a great dog walker and sitter for your company.

Chelsie you went above and beyond to make sure my pups were treated with royalty. I have never seen my dogs get so excited to see someone, not even when I get home. Chelsie supplied lots of pictures of the walks and the most detailed summary which was always a pleasure to read. She really cares and extremely thoughtful, would never hesitate to book with her anytime I need help. Thank you so much Chelsie!

Nichelle is an energetic person who cherishes animals. She is a great mom to her dog, Freckles. She has a special bond with dogs--they are drawn to her and seem to love her instantly. She is a very warm and fun person who instantly shares her heart with animals, whether it be her own dog or other dogs we may encounter while on a walk. It is honestly inspiring to watch the joyful way Nichelle interacts with animals. She delights in their individual personalities and enjoys doting on them. I was especially impressed at the careful attention she pays to her own dog's diet and care. She is also very meticulous--always making sure her dog is well groomed and of course, cleaned up after on walks. Nichelle's huge heart for animals makes her an ideal candidate to work with anyone's pet.

About: I have owned pets all my life - I love both cats and dogs! Throughout high school, I worked at a dog boarding and daycare facility for 5 years where I provided daily exercise, feeding, medications, and spa services for up to 30 dogs at a time. I’ve been accepted to graduate school in the fall, so I’m currently working part-time through Rover while I prepare to start classes. Given that my schedule is so open, I can be very flexible for last-minute bookings! I have a reactive dog of my own, so unfortunately I am not able to host pets in my home. However, when visiting a client’s space, I follow the pet’s lead to ensure they feel comfortable.

Andrea is our go-to dog sitter and worth every penny. Our dog takes medication, is now deaf and sometimes goes on walks. Andrea is amazing, sends pictures all the time and makes our vacations relaxing because I don’t have to worry about any issues at home.

Keirston is exactly who you are looking for a wonderful caregiver for your furry family members! I’ve had her take care of my two cats on multiple occasions and could rest easy knowing she’d treat them as if they were her own. She’s thoughtful and kind and considerate when dealing with all types of pets in all walks of life. I’d recommend her to anyone 10/10 times!
