1. David D.
“I love how David sends me updates and pictures of our puppy Saba. We e had him twice and will have already booked him for two more times. Saba always looks happy and when we get him all is well. Glad I found him on here since I travel to the area often with Saba to visit my husband.”
2. Bradley M.
“Bradley took great care of my baby! Loved the pictures he shared and the little report I got of her potty breaks and walking route. Thank you so much Bradley!”
3. Lashonna M.
“What can I say about Lashonna in a short review? It’s hard because she deserves so many more words. She truly went above and beyond with our Porter (who isn’t an easy dog when his owners are away) She took so much time and heart into making sure he was well taken care of. For the first time in a long time when we came home, Porter hadn’t lost weight from food boycott and wasn’t crying or shaking! Our kids even said “whoever you got- we need to keep them!” Thank you so much for doing what you do!”
4. Emily H.
“Emily has only been working with us and our sweet pup for a week so far and we are very impressed! She’s punctual, shares detailed information with us and is very sweet. We are excited to continue working with her!”
5. Liesa B.
“Leisa was fantastic. It was hard to leave our pets and she made us feel so safe. I came home and could tell they were well taken care of. Thank you for being so caring, Leisa.”
6. Monroe B.
“Monroe took amazing care of my cat and provided such thoughtful updates. Great to work and communicate with. I would have Monroe back anytime!”
7. Kate J.
“Kate was great with Koda and attentive.”
8. Anne Y.
“Anne was wonderful and was willing to accommodate my very rowdy dogs last minute! This was my first time doing drop-in visits so I wasn’t sure what to expect. She sent frequent updates and photos, and even so kindly provided a longer leash for my one escape artist dog to be able to run around the yard more until my fence is fixed. Highly recommend and hope to use her in the future!”
9. Megan C.
“Megan did two drop in visits for me and my pooch. She made sure she got fed, as well as got out to pee/poop. She respected my apartment and left it just as it was! 10/10 would recommend!”
10. Sierra H.
“Sierra took great care of our 2 kitties and our turtle! We came home to a clean house, clean litter boxes, and plenty of food and water for everyone. We loved all the pictures she sent us each day as well. We would definitely hire Sierra again!”
11. Kortney D.
“Kory was excellent with communication. Responded promptly to my initial inquiry and took the time to ask detailed questions about my dog and special needs. I got daily updates and adorable photos of Archie. They enjoyed their time together and my dog was happy.”
12. Leesa H.
“We booked Leesa last minute to check in on our dogs so that we could go away for an overnight trip. We haven’t used a sitter outside of our family in a long time, but we’re happy to say that our boys have a new friend! We will definitely be booking Leesa for future trips!”
13. Amanda S.
“Millie and Louie loved Amanda the minute she walked in the door for Meet & Greet. Amanda worked with our instructions and was kind enough to complete Rover report cards with pictures! We’d love to have her back when we need someone to take care of our dogs!”
14. Brianna P.
“Bri has been nothing short of responsible, tentative, and caring for our baby Maggie. Bri committed to making sure Maggie and her were going to be best friends before coming to stay and care for her. Making the time out of her schedule to do this was very mindful and showed her commitment to learning Maggie's behaviors, wants, and needs. We will continue to use Bri as our doggy sitter as long she will let us have her. Bri is very trustworthy and clean. She left our place exactly how we left it and made sure that Maggie knew she was there to tend to her every need. She followed up with pictures and kept us well informed while we were away on how Maggie, which was very much appreciated. We already have a few other scheduled doggy sitting times and we all look forward to having her. Bri is a wonderful candidate for Rover. I give her my upmost recommendation for other doggy parents looking for a trustworthy and responsible doggy sitter.”
15. Karen N.
“Karen is absolutely amazing! She is dependable, reliable, and went above and beyond what was expected of her! She took care of my babies for 10 days, sent tons of pictures to me and gave personalized feedback after each visit!”

About: I have always grew up with a dog in my household since I was in Kindergarten! I am a firm Believer that our pets are a member of our family!

I make sure dogs are cared for during the morning, during lunch, and during the evening before bed time !
