“Joudi was truly a last minute godsend. Right before my wedding we got a horrifying diagnosis of CHF for our one cat. (we have four) With this new diagnosis and treatment regimen we desperately needed someone with the experience, skills and overall caring attitude that is Joudi. She was seriously amazing and allowed us the much needed peace of mind over our wedding weekend. I literally can't recommend her enough, our kitties miss her already! I could not have asked for a better first experience using Rover!”


“Mellie came to spend time with our pack for the evening. She really wants to get to know the dogs, know their issues of any, understand pack dynamics, have a finger in any potential problems and know how to handle them. The dogs all responded well to her . Happy to have found her as she is going to be a great resource for us.”


“Ashley was AMAZING with our two pups! We never leave without them because they have anxiety. Ashley came in and immediately our dogs were excited and comfortable around her! Without a doubt we will be using Ashley for our future needs!”


“Plachette is amazing. She did a fantastic job staying at our house for a week and watching our bernedoodle, Stormy. They really bonded and I can’t wait for her to watch Stormy again, as I know she will have the best care possible.”

“Jordan did awesome with my baby girl! She messaged back quickly and sent updated pictures! The best part was she cleaned up after herself! I couldn’t even tell that someone stayed at my house let alone with my anxiety ridden dog. She was able to give my dog her medicine when she is good at spitting it back out. So happy I chose Jordan.”

About: I grew up in East Texas with 3 Bengal tigers in my front yard and a minuture potbelly pig named Bubba in our home. I currently have a Exotic Micro Bully named Gucci who loves all other animals. Your pet will be loved and safe with us. My life is Gucci and we would love to have your animal and promise to keep them safe. They will be walked and entertained. If your pet doesn't like other pets then we might not be the best fit. Gucci can handle just about anything but he is so socialized that I don't think he would defend himself even if he needed too. Please only other animals that are completely okay with other pets. We go to the Westmoreland County Dog Obodeience School once a week and will pass on all knowledge we learn to those that will let us teach them. Your pet will be loved and safe with us. My life is non stop pet care. You will have no worries of your pet being left unattended. Gucci is never left alone and neither will your pet. Lots of walks and love! If you would like your pet crated for whatever reason please provide it. We are a crate free home. I live in an apartment but it's a big one and we take lots of walks.

Im currently looking to take on a few clients (multiple pet families & senior/special needs pets/exotic pets) that require more of my time, training and attention. Some are just puppies lol Unfortunately, this app does not provide a description of your pet or what exactly you are looking for . If you think we would be a good match we can have a screening interview over the phone. And then I'd follow up with a meet and greet to do a hands-on assessment on your pet. And we could review the pet care needs and routine. My specialty is dogs with PTSD/behavior issues. I'm not afraid of aggressive or high maintenance dogs. Working with animals is my greatest passion.

“My family typically watches my dog, Stella, when I go out of town; however, this time we were all going on vacation together and I needed someone I could trust to take care of her. A friend recommended Rover and I gave it a shot. As soon as I read Joe's profile I knew he'd be a great match. Stella is a 4 year old pitbull so I wanted to make sure whoever I chose was comfortable handling a larger dog. Joe came over for a meet and greet and Stella loved him! Since this was the first time I left her in someone else's care I thought it'd be best for Stella to stay in her own home and have Joe come and visit. He visited multiple times a day for 5 days. Joe was absolutely great, he sent me daily updates with pictures and eased my mind so I could enjoy vacation. I will definitely use Joe in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible, attentive and passionate dogwalker. Thanks, Joe! -Ali ”
