About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life and have always had pets, ranging from hedgehogs to donkeys! I am very passionate about animal care and ensuring all animals are pampered and well-loved. My family and I recently lost our two oldest pups, 16-year-old queen diva ZuZu Bailey and 10 year old loveable doofus Bandit. They were huge parts of our life and we miss them terribly, but through the loss we gained Stevie Nicks and Princess Buttercup. They love to play with others! They are accompanied by 2 cats who are treated like royalty and have their own enclosed catio with tunnels. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, as well as giving medications or tending to special needs. Your pet(s) will be in a safe environment and receive the same love and attention as ours! I teach part-time, so I am often home during weekdays and always during summers. When I do work, I am only a short distance and can easily come home during the day to check on the furry friends. Our fenced, spacious yard is perfect for galavanting and play. Our youngest pup is still learning not to chew the remote and is kenneled only if she will be alone for an extended amount of time. Otherwise, dogs are free to roam in our house!

Jenevieve was fantastic and helped on short notice and did a fabulous job. She helped reassure that Albert was taken care of! I’d highly recommend her.

LOVE all the care Ash has with my cat, Gucci. I’m traveling for a month and Ash has been very communicative, helpful and supportive all the time. She answers me in a timely manner, send pictures and makes me feel safe with my choice of choosing her to take care of my cat. Best choice ever.

Daniel always does such a great job taking care of our girl! The photos he sends while we’re away make it clear that our pup is getting love and having a blast. We’re so glad to have Daniel close by to help us out!

Absolutely amazing! This was my first time trying Rover and I look forward to using it again! Christina was amazing and responded quickly to my very short notice request. She was loving and caring to my 2 cats and my crazy high energy German Shepard. 10/10 would book with her again and will recommend to any fur parents I know in the future!

About: I have been around different animals my entire life and have done everything from raising to training. I currently work at a doggy daycare/lodging facility! Im currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! As of now I work 1-8 and get off early most nights. I have a pet friendly dog who loves meeting new pals! If you have a dog who’s possessive over anything I have a ton of experience as my dog is food possessive!

We just returned from a 2 week trip, and Cory provided care for our 5 cats. He did a fabulous job! 3 of the cats were elusive, but the other 2 warmed up to him. He saw to all of their needs, and also fed the birds and squirrels for us. He did all we asked of him, and I was confident that they were in good hands. I highly recommend Cory, and will reach out to him for future needs. Thank you, Cory for the great job.

Hannah was great, from the meet and greet where she immediately made friends with Pinot and played Frisbee, to jumping in last minute to take care of Pinot for us on a holiday weekend! She provided detailed updates, pictures and was very punctual for drop-ins. We would absolutely use Hannah in the future and recommend her to others!

About: Hi, I’m Shane! Calm, steady walker who keeps things simple and safe. I’ve spent my whole life around animals, and I’m the kind of person who pays attention to the small things: body language, pacing, comfort, and routine. I like to consider myself patient, predictable, and confident, and that’s exactly how I approach every walk and visit. I’m available throughout the week and flexible with timing. If you want someone dependable who communicates clearly and treats your dog like an individual, I’d love to meet you and your pup! I currently care for multiple dogs and cats at home, so I’m used to feeding schedules, meds, crates, and different personalities. If your dog has special needs or quirks, I’m happy to follow your routine exactly.

Rachel is amazing! Maybe a "cat whisperer?!" First time leaving my dog for more than 1 night. I loved the pics I got more than I expected! It eased my mind, so I could concentrate on my work trip duties. She gave great care & love to my 2 cats and 1 dog. Highly recommend! Good job, I will use again!
