“Tiffany was great! She was prompt and professional and took great care of Maggie. She took her for walks and outside to play while we were away. She also has good dog management skills which were obvious when she came to meet Maggie and get instructions. She immediately calmed her down and brought her energy under control. Our house was neat and everything was in its place. We will definitely book her next time we are out of town!”
“Kelley took excellent care of my dog while I was out of town. She provided regular updates and pictures which eased my worries about leaving my home and dog with a stranger. I was pretty nervous about this, if you are on the fence you can trust Kelley, I will definitely use her again!!”
“Tori was great, she took very good care of our home and dog over this past weekend. Tori sent daily status emails and texts with several photos included. These helped keep us informed of how Toby was acclimating as this was the 1st time we had left him home with a sitter. Toby seemed to enjoy his time with Tori, and they went outside to play a few times a day.”
“Ember was absolutely fantastic with our Husky. She played with him, went out of her way to make him frozen Kings, and even BRUSHED him which is a whole chore for husky owners? She made us feel at ease while we were away and helped around the house while we were gone - took out the trash on trash day, gathered/sorted our mail, and went above and beyond washing towels and sheets. We were very appreciative of Ember and will book again!”
“Ronda was not only efficient and responsive, sharing twice-daily feedback about the care and feeding of our two kitties, but she was also able to establish an affectionate bond with them during our 16-day absence. We are pleased to give Ronda 5 stars and would highly recommend her.”
“Amelia was reliable and responded to all my messages in a timely manner. It was my first time using Rover and both of our first experience with overnight visits. Louis is aging and does not do well alone. Not only did she take excellent care of my Louis but she left my home as I left it. She even washed the bath towels she used while she stayed. I highly recommend Amelia. She is trustworthy and I look forward to using her again!”
“Kiley is awesome! She did a great job house sitting and caring for our elderly dog. She administered his medications with no issues. House was left clean and pets were happy! We are so glad we have someone local we can trust.”
“Jordan did a remarkable job with our senior dog. He takes various meds and experiences anxiety whenever we are away, but he seemed to thrive with Jordan. We are so lucky to have found Jordan to care for our fur baby!”
“Billy was the perfect Dog Sitter. All four of my dogs loved him immediately. He took such good care of them. He was prompt, courteous, attentive to all of my dogs. He was fantastic, and I will certainly use him again.”
“Stella is super friendly and was very responsive and helpful leading up to watching our corgi. While we were away she was very proactive sending us pictures and updates of their time together and gave him all the attention he needed. We would definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of many animals on my family’s small farm including three dogs, chickens, a pig, sheep, and bees! I’ve always loved dogs and got my first dog before I can remember. Two of our family dogs are hyper cattle dogs that have required lots of training, so I’m no stranger to the zoomies! One of our dogs is a rescue and arrived to us with anxiety and Lymes disease among other issues. I know how far a little extra love for our dogs can go! I care for my dogs at home every day with walks and cuddles. I love to go on walks anyways and would love to take other dogs along with me. I’m able to take my pets and others on walks and have a dog sleeve for my car in case of emergencies or outings. I’m familiar with pet medications and many types of food.
“Jordann was great and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again! Our dogs aren’t used to being left at home without someone they know well, but we had limited options for this trip. She was super flexible when we asked about doing a meet and greet and the dogs (one of which is medicated for his anxiety) seemed immediately comfortable around her. She stayed with them in our home for 3 days and when we got back the house was clean and the dogs were happy, I couldn’t ask for much more than that. Would definitely recommend!”
“Amazing! We have 5 animals, two of which are over 100 lbs and are big babies. She did so good. She had come to our house two days before, asked questions and met with our animals and they also loved her! She sent pictures throughout the day and was always quick to reply. Will absolutely be rebooking her!”
