About: I've had small to medium sized dogs but that does not limit me to any other sizes. I enjoy having dogs as company and playing with them till we’re both tired. I work from home and will go to the office at least once a month if needed. My work schedule is 9AM-5PM but I would be able to take your dog outside throughout the day. I live in a friendly and quiet neighborhood and parks are also available near me. I have the flexibility to drive any distance between 5-15 miles away from my home. Please require any special instructions that you would like followed for your dog and any health concerns they may have. Can't wait you meet you and your furry friend! Thank you for your consideration.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fords
We were out of town for a few days but felt so peaceful about our boy’s care because of Gabby. She is a loving, reliable, competent professional who really understands and cares for our pup. He looks forward to seeing her! We receive amazing updates so that we know all is okay!!!!!!! So grateful for Gabby 🐶💙
I seriously cannot recommend Paige enough! She is absolutely wonderful with our girl Leia, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing she’s in such good hands when we’re not home. Paige is so sweet, reliable, and genuinely caring. It’s such a relief having someone we can trust to take care of our girl. We’re so grateful for her and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur baby!
We had an excellent experience with Mackinzie walking our dog, Cooper, for 4 days, twice a day. She was punctual every single day, dependable, and took great care of Cooper. We really appreciated how she kept us updated after each walk and shared pictures and all the important information, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She was caring, responsible, and clearly treated Cooper with love and attention. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and reliable. We would definitely book her again!
Eva is so wonderful!! She is timely, communicative and very flexible. She was easy to coordinate with and book when we were looking for a dog walker while our dog was staying with my parents. We are very thankful to have found Eva for our dog and appreciate how friendly and caring she is!
Veronica and her husband Ryan were amazing, Shadow hit it off with them immediately! I will be using them for boarding in September and they were very accommodating when I said I wanted to do a couple walks with them before boarding to build a relationship with Shadow. I am so happy I found them and would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for care for their pets.
I can not thank Tina enough she was wonderful ! I was nervous because my dog is new to my home and he is nervous still and this was my first time using a dog sitter lol so I had asked her if she can go to my house a little earlier then planned to check on my dog and she did and it was all incredibly successful !
Hannah was amazing with my Tallulah! First, she was available on such short notice and really helped me out when another sitter cancelled. She went above and beyond and made sure Tallulah was loved and cared for. I felt completely at ease. She was so accommodating since my pup is dealing with a few health issues right now. She wrote a long note at the end and sent lots of pictures. I highly recommend Hannah and definitely want to work with her again!
