“Brooke has done a great job with letting our pup out during the day. Friendly, prompt, never had a problem and always reliable. Definitely recommend for your pet care needs!”
“Kristi was caring, thoughtful and so sweet with my fur babies!! I didn't even have service in some parts of my trip when I was away and I felt safe knowing she was there taking care of my kitties! She was attentive and sent me tons of updates while I was gone. She'll definitely be getting an invite back for future trips! ? 10/10!!!!”
“Jackie is a great with our dogs! This is our second time having her watch our dogs and she is professional and reliable. I was able to really unplug knowing that she was checking in on my dogs. Thanks Jackie!”
“First time Rover user and I picked Lauren based on her 5-star reviews. Lauren was great, she is super nice, she paid attention to some dog specific things, and most importantly the dogs loved her. She is highly recommended and I definitely will be using her again in the future.”
“Can’t recommend Andrea enough! She’s great with our dogs (who can be a lot), and sends adorable updates. A true dog lover! Knowing she is coming has given us so much peace of mind!”
“Emma helped me out big time when I needed a last minute drop in for my standard poodle mix Nilla. She sent me updates and Nilla was happy to have the company! She followed all directions seamlessly and asked questions if she had them. Would definitely recommend Emma and am looking forward to reaching out to her in the future!”
“Morgan was fantastic! I was out of town and the person I had to watch my dog fell through and she went over and took care of Zoie. She took pictures and let me know everything went great. I will definitely be asking Morgan to help out again.”
“I'm so glad I was able to find Jamie to take care of my girls. She did a great job. She kept me updated and in the loop. I love the pictures that they send. It makes me feel like I'm still *there* sorta. This is a wonderful business that I'm so glad I found. I'll definitely use Jamie again!”
“Osha did a great job taking care of my Surlee while I was away on holiday. He followed all my instructions, relieving me of any concern. I will gladly call upon him when needed. Book with confidence!”
About: Lifelong pet owner: I’ve taken care of a wide range of breeds and animals. Have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, lizards, turtles, and guinea pigs. I have 5 pets myself, so your pet(s) will be well cared for. I value connection and communication so you and your pets can be at ease. I currently work full time 11pm-7am, with every friday and every other weekend off. During the day any day I am available, so my schedule is good for any pet that needs some care during the daytime. I am available for overnight care on my days off though. I care for pets like they are family (because let’s be honest they are), following your instructions so your pet will feel safe and comfortable, and respecting your house as I would my own.
About: I worked at a doggy daycare for about 6 months. I did dog walking in my area for a couple years when I was younger. A few of those dogs I would also stop by, feed, and sit with for a bit inside the home. I don’t own a dog but if it was my choice I would. I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life and have yet to find one who hasn’t loved me. I can walk as early at 6AM and as late as 2PM on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Thursday and Friday I am available as early as 6AM and as late as 5PM. I can easily crate your dogs if needed, big or small. I used gentle parenting because animals are just like babies. I know how to stop conflict between two pets (i worked at a doggy daycare).
“Amy was amazing. She took the time to do everything she could to ensure my dog was cared for safely and met the expectations of the visit. She is a great communicator with clear and concise messaging. She gave very detailed information about the visit - thank you!”
“Alexis did very well with Husker. He is very leery of new people and she was patient with him. Was even able to get him to calm down enough to go for a walk. We have now hired Alexis for a 5 night overnight stay.”
“Kaity was wonderful with my kitties while I had to be away. Having the pictures that she sent twice each day was so nice! Kaity played with and loved on my kitties and really made it less stressful on everyone during my absence.”
“Madison did an excellent job with my dog, Simon. Her communication was fantastic and she did a great job sticking to Simon’s schedule. To top it off, I could tell Simon was well taken care of as he was a happy puppy when I got home. I highly reccomend Madison for any pet care needs!”

Marcale was an awesome caretaker for our dogs while we were away! She went above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and help us out. She was very communicative and stayed right on schedule with the visits. She made it easy for me to relax and not worry about the dogs while we were away on vacation.
The amazing care Juno received, and subsequent gratitude we have towards Nathaniel and Alyssa, is hard to put into words. Juno had a medical emergency in our absence. Nathaniel and Alyssa deftly navigated keeping us informed, while simultaneously not over worrying us with things that were out of our control, thousands of miles away, with little to no communication services; we trusted their judgement implicitly with regards to Juno’s care. They will be our go-to caregivers providers for Juno,
I'm so glad I was able to find Jamie to take care of my girls. She did a great job. She kept me updated and in the loop. I love the pictures that they send. It makes me feel like I'm still *there* sorta. This is a wonderful business that I'm so glad I found. I'll definitely use Jamie again!
