Jasper took great care of our two fur babies during his drop-in visit today. He walked them around the neighborhood, played with them in the backyard, and made sure they had enough water. He even brought in some packages that were on our porch. Our pups loved him immediately when they met him, and it was clear they had fun with him today. Thanks, Jasper!!

Rewrite. I worked with Rover.com for almost 6 years as a dog boarder. My sister, Donna Sartain, lived near me & whenever I had a dog boarded, she would often be at my front door enthusiastically wanting to visit the dog & take him/her on walks & play with them or just calmly sit & pet & talk to them. Donna has a gentle spirit & dogs pick up on that - they gravitate towards her. She seems to have a 6th sense with dogs, sensing a change in behavior or if they seem a little off that day & takes that into consideration when she's around them. Donna grew up with dogs & after getting married had a yellow lab of her own named Kelly until Kelly passed away. I've never seen a dog treated better than Kelly by Donna. Kelly had her own cushioned livingroom chair & when Donna & her husband were moving to a new home, Kelly would not leave her chair because she didn't want the movers taking it, not knowing she would get it back. Donna & Kelly would chase each other around the kitchen & livingroom to see who could catch who without the other knowing they were right behind them. It was always fun to watch them play like that. Donna also took care of our friend's dog if I was unavailable. This dog, named Koda, fell in love with Donna & became super excited when his owner was turning in to our community & Koda would jump all over Donna in happiness to see/stay with her. These are just a few of the positive experiences Donna has always had with dogs. You won't find a better dog walker than Donna Sartain.

Wendi was on time for our meet and greet and was very professional. We had a hiccup during our time away with our refrigerator in the garage "tripping up" our automatic garage door opener. Wendi alerted us right away about the issue and with our coaching was able to resolve the issue with success. She was very punctual with visits and supplying Rover cards. She took Holly on lengthy, enjoyable walks and made sure Holly was well cared for in our absence. Highly recommend Wendi. We'll definitely be requesting her services for Holly again in the near future.

Tiffanie watched after my doggy Nala and it was a wonderful experience! Nala is a little high maintenance, has incontinence problems and is dog aggressive, but Tiffanie did not mind and took the best care of her ❤️ We will definitely use her services again. Thank you, Tiffanie! You're the best.

Wow! Kay was wonderful. She did two drop-in visits for us today. Kay was so good with our older dog when she came by to meet her. Our dog was eager to play with her - Kay is obviously great with dogs! The detailed report from each visit was wonderful and the photos were fun to see. Will definitely use Kay again! Highly recommend her.

If you only want the best for your pet, Ami is it. Everything from start to finish with her has been nothing short of outstanding. She is reliable, compassionate, and her energy is so calming. My dog Luna had just been diagnosed with kidney disease, and I was overwhelmed. Ami came over to administer subQ fluids, which have been a struggle for me to do on my own because it was so stressful for my dog. Ami taught me things the vet never mentioned, so that the experience was less stressful for Luna, such as warming the bag of fluids, the position to hold my dog in and how to distract her with treats. She even recommended needles that are thinner, and I was amazed my dog didn’t even react when she poked her! She is also working with me on a specialty diet specifically for CKD which is already helping with her nausea and appetite. I am so relieved to have found Ami - she is an invaluable resource, and true animal whisperer. And our kitties approve too, they absolutely love her! Thanks again Ami!!!

About: I have started taking care of my pets since I was 13, my first dog was a Golden Retriever and I currently have a Shitzu/Mini Poodle mix and a grey cat. I love taking care of animals and I ensure their health, safety, and happiness are my top priorities! I’m currently enrolled in college, and I take care of my animals whenever I’m home for the weekends or during breaks. Pet care easily fits into my day to day routine. My pets at home are allowed to roam freely in my house but do have to be on a leash whenever they are outside. I make sure that any animal I take care of are safe in my hands and my focus is always on creating a nurturing environment where pets feel secure and loved!
