“Mya is the best dog sitter! She gives Toby so much love and attention. A friend of hers works at one of the dog stores. And she gave me some dog treats and a couple of sweaters.”
“This was our dog's second time staying with Olivia and Sebastien and it was just as good as her first time there! She was so excited to stay with them when we pulled up and they sent lots of updates throughout her stay, would recommend to anyone!”
“Elizabeth hosted our doggy over a weekend while we went out of town. Booking with her was super easy as she was super responsive! She took great care of Lynx and we look forward to working with Elizabeth again.”
“We now pledge our dog allegiance to Shannon! This extraordinary woman exhibited consistent levels of compassion, care, competence and understanding when our dog unexpectedly suffered from Xylitol poisoning the day before our family vacation departure. She managed his hospitalization, after care (including medication and multiple follow ups at the vets office) and did so with a calm, attentive and caring demeanor. Her unique professional history and incredible heart make her the best candidate for pet care, family care, whatever is happening in life care. We could not be happier with our choice and feel grateful to have Shannon on our family team!”
“Kris and Dan are absolutely amazing! They truly love your pets and treat them as family. I felt so relieved to know my dogs were being spoiled while we were gone! We have already booked to use Kris again!”
“Cherie is the best! I felt so safe and worry-free leaving Molly in her care. Super caring, warm, and accommodating. Also, Luna is so sweet! Looks like Molly had a blast. Thanks Cherie!”
“Friday was so happy with Eric and Takako. They have 2 adorable chihuahuas. They took him on walks and sent me pictures, Friday looked so happy. I’m so grateful we found a great family that I feel comfortable leaving Friday with. Thank you Eric and Takako for making it so easy for and sooooo fun for Friday. He misses you guys.”
“The entire family was so wonderful with our puppy! They cared for him, loved him, played with him, and integrated him into their lives for the three days he spent with them! Bandit was so happy to be loved by so many family members! We will definitely be asking them to care for Bandit any time we are in town visiting with human family! Simply cannot thank these awesome people enough!”
“Wally stayed at Bethany’s house during our 17 day trip over the holidays and we couldn’t be happier! He got along so well with her dog Riley, and she took them to the park or beach every day. She sent pictures and videos which gave us peace of mind during such a long trip. She will definitely be our go-to from now on!”
“Priscila was excellent at ensuring my Lana had a great experience. From her outdoor activities, beach day, and play time it all contributed to Lana having a Great time. Priscila was awesome at providing pictures and video to update how my dog was doing. Thank you 👍”
“Lyndsie and her family are the absolute best! She was such a godsend for me and my father while he is recovering from a fall; she took such good care of his dog. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again. She was so loving and sent frequent updates and photos. Truly wonderful. We are extremely grateful.”
“We're SO glad we found her! She is kind, loving, flexible and communicative. We have a feeling she treated our pup like a princess. Will definitely reach out to her for future stays.”
“Thank you, Amy, for welcoming Benny Bears into your home and making him part of your family during his stay. My fur baby loved spending time with her son. Walks, & hanging out with Amy on the couch. Amy is great with clear communication, sending pictures, and making his stay feel like home. Bent is looking forward to his next stay! If this is your 1st time using Rover, highly recommend using Amy. As a 1st time user, Amy was the best choice for me and Benny Bears. Thank you so much! Blessed I found you! 🙏🐾🐾”
About: I am well-versed in taking care of furbabies from all walks of life. From pet-sitting my childhood neighbor's senior dog with cancer to caring for local cats on my college campus, I love and appreciate all animals. From walks to overnight stays, my top priority will be to make sure your loved one is safe, happy, and comfortable, while you are away. I have a kitty with heart issues so am very adept at giving medications. My pup is an ACD mix, so I am able to handle high energy working dogs! I love to do a mix of mental and physical stimulation. I am a hybrid worker and love taking walks to get some fresh air and am also happy to have a furry companion by my side. I take Merle (my dog) out every 2-3 hours. I have a greenbelt behind my place, large patio, and clean home. My cat is very sweet and gentle and mostly sleeps all day. I have many clean water and food bowls, treats, and live near a lot of green space for your dog to prance around in.
“Nicole is AMAZING! She was so wonderful with our pup and you can really tell that she loves and cares for animals! Nicole is super responsive and sent plenty of updates without is even asking. We absolutely recommend Nicole!”
“Jasmine was absolutely incredible with our dog and took exceptional care of her. Our dog has specific rules when it comes to socializing with other dogs, and Jasmine was so understanding, patient, and easygoing about it. On the morning we were supposed to drop her off at Jasmine’s house, our dog suddenly developed a limp tail, which was very stressful for us. We were worried we might not be able to bring her at all since she needed pain medication and wasn’t feeling like herself. Jasmine was incredibly accommodating and completely comfortable managing her medication and caring for her while she wasn’t at her best. She sent us plenty of photos and updates, which gave us great peace of mind. Overall, we had an amazing experience and would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to friends.”
“Lauren and her family were a perfect fit for our dogs while we were away. We received lots of pictures and updates on how they were doing. They opened up their home to them like they were their own. When our dogs weren’t ready to come home we knew that they had a great time. I would recommend Lauren and her family for dogs that like a lot of human attention.”
