“Mya was great! She helped out fairly last minute dog sitting while we had movers at our house. Ollie had a great time playing with the other dogs, but was given some indoor puppy naptime/snuggle time too. She sent photo updates throughout the day. Highly recommended.”

3. Tamara D.
“Tammy and her family are awesome. Our guy had a nice big fenced in yard to run around in and he had plenty of attention and playtime. Communication with her is quick and easy. She is also very good about asking for info on my dog when she needed something and giving us an update as the day went on. Definitely planning to rebook with Tammy.”

About: I've been taking care/helping to take care of dogs since my earliest years. We've had everything from Miniature Dachshunds to Weimaraners to Greyhounds. My step-mom owns Courage Kennels (breeding and showing champion Rhodesian Ridgebacks) in Arizona, so I have some limited experience in training from being around that while growing up. I currently work during the days on Saturdays and Sundays, but during the week I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I get home Sunday evening, so I can generally do pet sitting and boarding from after 6pm Sunday until Friday evenings. I have an area in my backyard that is fenced with a 6ft chain link fence, so they have a safe area to run around outside on occasion. Otherwise, we mostly hang out in the house while I do my work-from-home job duties, or go on walks if the weather is nice enough for it.
10. lisa a.
“Lisa A. is the best sitter I have ever had. She loves and takes care my pets like they were her own. She always goes the extra mile and she sends text pictures regularly as well as a little daily diary so you know what is going on while you are gone. You can't go wrong with Lisa watching your pets.”
11. Sage K.
“I recommend Sage to be a caregiver for pets on Rover.com. She would and always will provide a safe and loving environment for anyone, if it’s pets or people. Sage has a deep love for animals as she has raised and cared for many throughout her life. She’s gentle, loving, reliable, and kind with anyone and anything, especially animals. Sage goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of, creating a sense of trust and warmth in everything she does. Sage and I grew up together in a small town where we would hangout multiple days a week. She would come over and play with my pets, always being kind and gentle. I strongly recommend Sage to be a pet caregiver.”
12. Anthony R.
“I have known Tony as a highly engaging pet owner and caregiver. He takes the time to connect with all pets he encounters and they always greet him as their best friend. Tony is a highly trustworthy person that will go the extra mile to make your pet feel safe and well cared for.”
