“Jess was amazing with my 3 cats! I had never used Rover before due to always having my friend watch our cats when we go away but due to it being our wedding weekend, we didn't know what to do. Upon first meeting her, I was completely at ease. She was great with my shy cats, and the pics and updates I got were great! I will definitely be using her again!!!!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life and helping friends and family with their dogs for years as well. I would love to help you out with your furry friends when life gets busy. I work full time but get out at 11am every day and have the rest of the day/afternoon open to drop in or visit. Wednesdays I am off so have morning available that day as well. I can crate your dog if needed, I can keep them on a leash to go out if they are a bit of an escape artist, and along with loving on them will keep my eyes on them for our entire visit.

Tyler R.
“Tyler is a wonderful pet caregiver. He has been a caretaker to my dog since she was a puppy-which is no small feat when the puppy in question is a teething German Shepherd Dog. I can personally attest to the grace with which Tyler navigates complex behaviors in dogs, including reactivity and anxiety. While caring for my dog, Tyler not only kept her safe and happy, but provided continuity on the obedience training my family had implemented. This was invaluable, as I feared other care options would undo thousands of dollars in training. When a friend's dog was sick, Tyler stepped in to transport a medically complex animal to a higher level of care. As a military member I travel frequently and often with little notice. Tyler provides peace of mind that my pet is well cared for, enabling me to focus on the task at hand.”

Shruti T.
“I have been friends with Shruti for 20 years, and one of the things I’ve always loved about her is how much she cares for animals. She absolutely adores my dog and always asks me to bring him over when I visit. It’s so sweet to see how excited she gets to spend time with him—she showers him with love, playtime, and treats, and makes sure he feels right at home. Shruti is not only a wonderful friend to me but also incredibly gentle, patient, and thoughtful with every pet she meets. I trust her completely and know she would provide safe, loving care and make any pet feel like family. Anyone would be lucky to have Shruti looking after their furry friend.”
