6. Ashlyn B.

“Ashlyn did a wonderful job of caring for our boxer pup Laney. She was very responsive & punctual and Laney was happy & well cared for when our son got home from work. We will be lucky to have Ashlyn come again!”


7. Angela K.

“Angela stepped up and saved us very last minute after a family member who was scheduled to watch the dogs fell through. She was incredibly kind, paid great attention to detail, and the dogs obviously loved her. We could not have asked for a better experience, especially walking into it without prior Rover experience. She left our house very clean and it was obvious the dogs had great care the entire time. She communicated via pictures and detailed texts daily so we had zero worries while we were away. I would recommend Angela to any family home, and will book her again.”


8. Robin C.

“Robin was amazing!! She gave us frequent updates on our animals, including pictures and videos! We could tell our dogs & cats were enjoying the attention and were well cared for!”


9. Macy B.

“Wow did we love Macy! While we were gone, our biggest concern that the dogs get good company and loved on - and she did that well! Our dogs are chill, sweet and loving and she reflected that back to them.(Also, she got prettier pics of our pups than we do...) Her vibe is easy going. We said "make yourself at home" and she a 'leave no trace' kind of person. Totally tidied up after herself which we didn't demand but was kind of her. She was communicative and understanding. We would have her again anytime!”


10. Gracie F.

“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Gracie did a wonderful job at watching our girls and taking care of our home while we were on vacation for 10 days!”


11. Lisa D.

“This is the first time I’ve come home to calm, happy dogs after a trip. Lisa did an amazing job with my two terriers, and i could tell from the photos that they felt safe. Tails were up, eyes were bright, and there was ample enrichment activities. I can’t thank Lisa enough!”


12. Jackie B.

“Jackie took great care of my 4 cats for the weekend; she was amazing about sending plenty of pictures & updates. I already have her booked for a next time ?”


13. Garrett M.

“Garrett was such a great caretaker for our husky mix, Mission. He did a great job of communicating with us - from initial contact, stopping by to meet Mission and learn about his routine, letting us know he got inside before our flight took off, and sending us pupdates throughout the weekend - he made us feel so at ease. Garrett was also a very considerate house guest, washing the sheets and keeping our home clean while we were away. We hope to book Garrett again!”


14. Desirae S.

“Desirae is a wonderful person who immediately gained the trust of my dog. She was very organized and asked all the right questions about taking good care of my dog. She sent pictures and kept me up to date on how things were going. I highly recommend Desirae for watching your dog.”


15. Mia M.

“Mia was so great! She sent us pics and our dogs were definitely well taken care of. She had great communication and was just super easy to work with. I would highly recommend her!”


16. Alex R.


“Alex house sat for my very skittish new rescue dog. She was superb, as usual. Great decisions about how to handle my anxious girl. I was concerned about leaving my pup; but this had been scheduled a while back for work. Alex stepped in and everything was just great. I'm so grateful for Alex!”


17. Katelyn R.

“From the meet and greet through the housesitting, Katelyn was always very prompt and communicative. She sent us picture updates and it always looked like she and the dogs were having a great time. Our dogs gets stressed pretty easily when we’re out of town and they seemed unfazed when we got back which tells me they were well taken care of while we were gone. Katelyn took very good care of the house, leaving it as clean or cleaner than we left it. We really appreciated her help and would be please to have her watch out dogs again in the future!”


18. Kayli K.

“Kayli was fantastic with our dog Dominic! She was very attentive and understanding of his anxiety with us leaving. Look forward to working with her again!”

About: I have worked at a dog boutique for a year. I interact with dogs on a daily with my job or being at home. I’m training to be a dog groomer and have been a dog sitter for 3 years Pet care can fit into your schedule by planning and organizing your day around the pet's needs. I have flexible hours for whenever I am needed. Caring for a pet at a client's home involves following their instructions, providing regular exercise, feeding, and hydration, maintaining a clean environment, monitoring the pet’s health, giving attention and affection, ensuring safety, sending updates to the client, and respecting the client's home. The goal is to keep the pet comfortable, happy, and safe while the owner is away.
