Carly was amazing! This was our first time using Rover and we hit the jackpot with Carly. She was kind, caring and responsive. The pups immediately knew she was a pet lover and felt safe wit her. I will definitely be a repeat client!

Deanna was great! She was on time and came prepared for both sessions. Ivy took to her right away. Deanna sent updates and took good care of our baby. I would use her again.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was responsible for helping care for my family’s pets, which included daily feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and providing lots of attention and affection. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of different personalities and sizes, and I understand how important patience, consistency, and trust are when caring for animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I am currently working full time, but I am available to care for your pets after 5:00 p.m. on the weekend. I am available at any time. I care for pets by following their usual routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of playtime, exercise, and attention, and always have fresh water. I provide regular walks, bathroom breaks, and enrichment based on each pet’s energy level and needs. I’m comfortable bathing pets when needed and keeping their space clean and safe. I also pay close attention to behavior, mood, and health, and I communicate updates and photos to owners so they feel confident their pet is well cared for.

About: DISREGARD REVIEW FROM ROBIN! It contains lies which meet the standard for libel. Nothing in her review is true. I did come the night before at her request, but every other remark is untrue. I have two dozen 5-star reviews from this site and others. Where to start? Three dogs with 11 legs, 50+ cats, 2 alpacas, 7 parrots, farm critters— Out of space! What else? And…um…Ack! Estates, hovels, and— Being retired from the rat race, I now sit full-time. That means I’m there 24/7 to give your Fur/Feather/Scale Babies and home love and care The safety of your pets/home are of utmost importance, so a schedule and information list are essential. I prefer arriving early to go over everything. Being retired, sitting pets and homes is my only focus. Actually, available within a four-hundred mile radius, all the way to the coast, the big city, and everywhere in between! I make certain your home and your pets are in the same pristine condition as when I arrived. The pets (who have lips) will be smiling. Of course, they will be even more exciting to see you again. The house would be smiling, if not for that whole lips thing.

About: I grew up taking care of all different breeds of dogs, and there’s nothing else I’d rather do! I started out caring for my own, then I started caring for my family’s and friend’s pets too. My experience ranges from caring for puppies and senior dogs. I had a 14 year old lab that I had to provide senior care on, from feeding by hand, cleaning her up, and administering medicine. I am working full time at the moment but am more than excited to spend my days off with your fur babies! As of right now I am available most weekends, and nights. I care for my dogs by letting them run around during the day, I have a huge yard with plenty of space. At night my dogs like to sleep in their crate.

About: Hello! I love all types of pets and currently have two dogs of my own. I am a student at Virginia-Maryland college of veterinary medicine trying to earn some extra money by doing what I love, playing with pets. I have experience with all types of pets at varying sizes and personalities. During my undergraduate career, I raised two Seeing Eye Dogs and helped other raisers with training. During this time, I worked at a veterinary hospital, participated in animal specific events like vaccination clinics, and groomed. From healthy puppies and kittens to seniors who need medication, I have seen it all and am prepared to help with whatever your pet needs. I hope I can meet your fur babies and shower them with love while you’re away. I offer additional grooming services, ask about them if your interested. As someone who owns two dogs, pet care is a priority in my life. Both of my pups get plenty of one-on-one time as well as long walks and enrichment in the house. During the day, the pups are crated while I am at school, but if my boyfriend is off of work they get to run around and play. As soon as I get home the dogs get taken out and fed. Along with daily care, I take care of all of their grooming and medical needs as well. I currently live in apartment complex which has a dog play area for your furry friends to get plenty of exercise. There is also a trail connected to the complex which will be utilized for long walks and plenty of sniffing opportunities. Both of my pups are very friendly and would be happy to be your pet’s playmate during their stay.

Don’t know what we would do without Gracie! She loves our furbabies as much as we do. She takes the best care of them and they are always so happy and content when she is around.
