About: I am an animal lover who has successfully raised both cats and dogs. Not only would I treat your pets as my own, but you will be updated frequently on the well-being of your pet. I enjoy all animals and have trained several dogs throughout the years. Before becoming interested in Rover, I have previously housed several dogs for friends and family members through WAG. With currently being in school to become a veterinarian, working with Rover would be a wonderful opportunity to become even more involved with taking care of animals. I am currently home full-time and will be easily accessible. With allowing me to house your fuzzy loved ones, be prepared for a very nice, professional, loving, and safe experience for the both of you. I currently work from home so I will have ample time to be present and support your fur baby. Daily walks and treats are provided I have a large fenced in yard for play time. I also provide as many updates as you need; this includes pictures and videos of your pet.

Megan was great! She was incredibly kind from the moment I sent the booking request to the time I picked Storm up. She was responsive and kept me updated with plenty of photos throughout Storm’s stay. Storm enjoyed her time!

Mercedes is great with my Poo. He is fully engaged with other dogs his size & loving humans for when he taps out🤣. I’m completely at peace when I drop him off…the picture collection confirms her attentiveness & care for our dogs 🐶.

Niyah did a really good job with my dog Lady. Niyah sent me pictures of Lady daily to show me that Lady was okay. Niyah was responsive when I reach out to her and she replied immediately to all of my text messages. Lady returned home happy and she was returned back to me in the same condition I left her. If I need a dog sitter in the future I would leave Lady with her again. Thank you Niyah for taking care of Lady with short notice during the Holiday.

Christine was friendly and professional in her care for my dog Woody. She sent pics everyday which I appreciated and said how he was doing. She even washed his bedding when he was leaving. I will book again in the future because of her excellent care as she knew how to care for any problems. Thank you Christine

About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was born from dogs, to fish, and even a turtle. Given, I have experience in both raising puppies and senior care. My family has lost our 16 year old labrador retriever last year, Mac, due to old age and would like to continue to show our love for pets through helping other families! We recently got Mickey, who is an energetic and fun Shih Poo looking to make friends! I am currently not working so I have plenty of time to take care of any of your pets needs. I currently have open availability! I have a spacious home and large unfenced yard for your dog to play and relax. Your pet will also be very safe under consistent supervision and attention to their needs.

Dominique is great with my girl Pip !!! My dog recognizes her block in the neighborhood as we walk by and even stops to smell the entrance with excitement each time we pass by. Dominique is quick to respond, sends lots of updates with pictures, and I come home to a happy tired dog after being away!!

Keeta was well taken care of on her stay. I received pictures and updates while I was gone. I am so thankful to have found a wonderful person like Laura to take care of my girl. This was so much better than a boarding place. She got one on one attention and a nice yard to play in. I was able to enjoy my birthday vacation in Texas with son & grandkids worry free. Thank you so much Laura!

April is great! Our dog is shy at first but April and her pack made him feel at home. She spent quality one on one time with him and I’m so appreciative of that! She is a phenomenal dog sitter and we’re definitely going to use her pet sitting services again! Thanks for everything April!

First time leaving Sully with anybody other than family, was nervous about it, not sure if it would work out. Sandy was great and put us at ease with the positive updates and pictures of Sully. Would definitely call Sandy to watch Sully again !

Tater was very well taken care of. I actually never met Juliana, but her boyfriend was very nice and was home for the drop off and pick up. This home is perfect for smaller pets.
