“We have used Katherine many times and are always happy. Today we came home after a weekend away and found our driveway and deck shoveled. Now, that is going above and beyond! I highly recommend Katherine.”


“Grace has stayed with my pitbull Keiki twice and I couldn't be happier with the care she received. Grace followed Keiki's schedule and handled all of her quirks perfectly. I received updates and photos twice a day which really helped my anxiety of leaving my baby home. I would trust Grace with Keiki anytime!”


“Michael took amazing care of our beloved granny cat and our home.”



“Alyssa managed our 3 dogs and 2 cats while we were gone and did a great job! We got a few pictures of them and regular updates. They all seemed great when we got home. We are so happy that we found someone to keep our pets comfortable and happy when we have time away!”


“Isabella did a fantastic job with Ernie! I received lots of pictures and came home to a happy, healthy kitty! Thank you for making this a great experience ☺️”


“Aida was absolutely wonderful! She watched our great dane at our house for just over two weeks while we traveled abroad. She showed up before we left to make sure everything was set. She was very communicative, sent pictures and updates as well as handled household issues without needing directions. Our dog was well cared for with walks and snuggles the whole time. Needless to say, we look forward to having Aida sit again.”


“Kaitlin was awesome! Our two big dogs loved hanging out with her and we were grateful that she was available to watch them all week. It's really nice knowing that your pets are well taken care of. Kaitlin sent us daily updates with pictures and we came home to happy, excited boys. Would book again in a heartbeat!”


“Jessica is nice & she is good with Dexter! Takes him for walks and everything. She worked during her stay, which we agreed to, but she was gone a little longer than I expected based on her work schedule. Otherwise, she was good with Dexter and left the house in good order when she left.”



“Taylor did a fabulous job when we left Lincoln with her for the weekend. She was very attentive to follow his schedule and routine but more importantly she gave him lots of love and cuddles! We really appreciated the great job she did as it had been several years since we had left him with anyone except family. We were a little nervous to leave him with a stranger but Taylor did a great job with him. We also appreciated the texts and pics so we could see how he was doing! We would have Taylor come again to watch Lincoln; in fact we have already booked our next two vacations with her!!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 7 years old. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to dog sit and both in my home and theirs, board also in mine, walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I enjoy them so much I reach out at times to see if I can simply take their dogs for a walk some days just for enjoyment only, even if the owner is home. I’m currently working full-time from home as a permanent remote employee. I have flexible time to take care of your dog for potty breaks, feeding & play time. After 3:30 pm I am on personal time. I am free to board dogs any day of the week. I have an open yard shared with neighbors in our townhome association. I have the ability to walk dogs for potty breaks or put them out on their cable from three optional doors. If boarding overnight, they need to be crate trained and would be in their owner provided crates overnight and/or if I need to run an errand outside my home.


“I’m not sure our cat even missed us! 🤣”


“Meah did a good job housesitting and watching our two young dogs. She's a quick study and was very good at communicating when she would be coming and going from our house to make sure we knew exactly when our pups would be let outside, etc. This made our first Rover experience very easy and positive so we didnt have to worry about our dogs while on vacation. Thank you!”



“We would love to use Danielle again! The dogs seemed like they were in really good hands. She also posts pics of the dogs on her Rover Instagram, which I loved seeing while on our vacation!”


“Samantha was punctual and easy to communicate with. She took great care of our two dogs while we were away for 3 days. It was very warm outside so she made sure the dogs got their exercise in the morning and not in the heat of the day. We’ll definitely use Samantha again the next time we need help.”


About: **About Me** Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a rich background in pet care. Growing up on a hobby farm, I developed a passion for animals early on, which led me to participate in 4-H with dogs and spend over 12 years working at a petting zoo with various farm animals. Now, as a registered nurse, I bring a caring and nurturing approach to everything I do. At home, I share my life with my husband, two playful spaniels, aged 1 and 4, and two energetic children, ages 7 and 11. Our fully fenced yard is the perfect playground for furry friends, and we’re always excited to welcome new playmates. I look forward to providing your pets with the love and attention they deserve! I work part-time as a registered nurse at the hospital, where I enjoy helping others. The rest of my time is dedicated to being a mom to our two wonderful children and spending quality moments with our two playful spaniels. Balancing work and family life brings me so much joy! **Our Play Area** Welcome to our pet paradise! We have a spacious, fully fenced yard featuring a grassy area perfect for running, trees to sniff, and a small lowland area that dogs love to explore. Your furry friend will have a blast here! With two friendly dogs ready to welcome new playmates, your pup will feel right at home. If your dog prefers some quiet time, we’re happy to crate them for a cozy retreat. We can’t wait to make new furry friends!

“I'm always nervous about leaving our 12 year old black lab. Denise made everything go smooth. She was extremely responsible and is a true lover of animals. Great communication and very trustworthy. Highly recommend ?”

“Taylen did a phenomenal job! Not only was she punctual for our meet up, but she was also very personable and it was clear that she cares about animals. We have a very elderly dog that requires a lot of extra support but Taylen was willing to help with all that was needed to care for our sweet girl in our absence. We received updates throughout our trip and knew she was in good care - we’d definitely book with Taylen again!”
