“Abbey was great, would highly recommend. Was hesitant about leaving my doggie at 1st but after meeting abbey I was relieved. It worked out perfectly and will Def use again”
“I just hired Zoe for the first time and she did an awesome job. I have a large Bernese Mountain dog and three cats, a handful. Zoe kept everyone happy while I was on my work trip. My dog used to be pretty stressed when I would return from trips, but with Zoe she was calm and happy when I got back. I appreciate Zoe for providing so much more than food and basic care for my babies, and highly recommend her.”
“Fabulous experience! Jessica was absolutely great. This was my first time using Rover and I was a bit nervous, but Jessica was great with my dogs. I was in a pinch and she took this job last minute. I will definitely be requesting her for future dog care.”
About: I have the freedom to go anywhere needed with the ability to drive. I can also take care of the pets special needs such as giving medicine. I enjoy walking and playing. My little dog has a big dog attitude, so when she gets aggressive I know how to handle her, and keep a safe distance not letting anyone get hurt. I can take care of pets anytime of the week when needed, though I do have an online college class Monday through Thursday that's from 1-3:50pm. I can take it anywhere since I have a laptop and tablet to work with. I will have that schedule until June 26th. I have a fenced in backyard, and a small dog that goes through the doggy door. I am always available to open the door to let your pet out at anytime. I walk my dog around the neighborhood 3 or more times around the week at least.
“Jessie was so so so amazing!!! Beyond professional and asked us so many thorough questions during the meet and greet we felt really good about leaving our babies in her care while out of the country!! We were able to have a relaxing vacation knowing our animals and house were safe !!”
“Kari and Clint are five star house/greenhouse/dog/chicken/hummingbird sitters! All of my creatures and plants were well cared for! I received daily messages reassuring me that all was well. Returned from vacation to a cleaned home. They are the BEST.”
About: I have experience with watching dogs and cats. I have dealt with puppies and senior dogs a like. I have had to give senior dogs pills for their health while watching them. I have dealt with puppies and potty training them. I have walked dogs before. I have plenty of time to watch and care for your dogs. I can watch them just about anytime during the week and after 1pm on the weekends. I watch pets and take them out when they need to. I can crate your dog if needed and can also feed them and clean up after them.
“Kelly was the perfect choice for housesitting my pets. She had her hands full and graciously attended to each pet and their certain needs. My oldest pup had a little separation depression and wasn’t eating a lot so she made her some chicken and hand fed her some nuggets and gave her extra assurance to make her feel okay! I would highly recommend this sitter! She took great care of my pets and my house!”
“Thank you for taking such good care of our furr babies!! Thank you for being so trust worthy and communicative. I knew they were in good hands and was able to relax while out of town. Also, thank you for taking care of the house. Will book again!”
“Grace is always so great with our dog Ellie! I don’t have to worry about her knowing she’s in great hands! She always communicates timely and sends great pictures! We use her whenever we go out of town!”
“Excellent in all ways and so happy Charlie received so much love and attention. I really appreciated everything nice and tidy as well! What a nice welcome home after our long trip!! #1 sitter in my book!!”
“We love Alexis! She took such good care of our 7 year old dog. We rescued him and he has always been a little anxious. He immediately felt at ease with her! She took him on lots of walks and he got lots of pets and cuddles(his favorite). She stayed in our home and kept everything nice and tidy! We hope she is available to watch him again in the future!”
About: I am capable and comfortable taking care of dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments! I’ve helped leash, house, and crate train a few dogs as well! I currently work part time and would love to fill my extra time with animals, so I have plenty of time to take care of pets with almost any needs! Though I’m not able to board your pet at my house I promise to provide quality care at your home and keep them safe and happy
“Bella was GREAT with our pup! He can be a bit of a handful from time to time and she managed his weirdness extremely well. She left our home nice and tidy as well. Will definitely be asking her to watch George again!”
About: I worked at a humane society for 2 years and am still a volunteer. I have worked with many different types of dogs and cats, administered medications, dealt with emergent situations, etc. I am looking to add pet care in to my life part time, along with my full time job and my current volunteer hours at the shelter. With the services I will be providing, dog walking, check ins, and house sitting, I do not think that the animal will be at my house.
“Iris is truly the best! She watched Lola while I was away for my wedding weekend. I had a million things to stress about but I was so grateful I didn't have to worry about Lola at all because I knew she was in the best hands. Wouldn’t have trusted Lola with anyone else for such an important day. Thank you Iris!!”
“Taylor is the most amazing person I had my dog with , Heather is a very shy dog took her a month to make up to family Taylor did it and I watched from afar as she gained her love and I do mean her love . She’s always welcome into my home and in our Hearts John and Heather”
About: I’ve always loved dogs. I’m not ever afraid to approach a dog, I’ve been dogsitting for friends & close family friends since I graduated high school & got a license. I’m off during the summer so I can do pretty much any time of the day :-) Any weekday would be preferred. I am flexible. I will follow any directions given for the dogs I’m watching. I have a beagle who is my best friend and I would treat any dog I’m sitting with the same care.
