“Robert is one of the nicest people we've ever met! He is very responsive, trustworthy, helpful with questions about booking, and so good with our dog, Brutus. He always leaves a full report complete with pictures. We will use him forever!”
2. Ash B.
“Our dogs are a bit of a handful and Ash did a great job! They got lots of love and attention and we felt very safe with her here. Would definitely recommend!”
3. Jenevieve Y.
“Jenevieve totally saved our vacation! I had originally hired another Rover sitter to drop in on our dog while we were on vacation. The other sitter didn't show up for 2 visits. Luckily I was able to book super last minute with Jenevieve and she is awesome! She was always there on time to take care of my dog. He is 15 and takes heart meds, so it's important that he gets them twice a day. She seemed to really care for my dog and sent pictures every visit. I was totally impressed with her attention to his care. If you are looking for a great sitter, look no further!”

About: My partner, Anthony, and I are the Rover duo here! Together, we have a combined 20+ years of experience working with dogs. Anthony primarily does the house sitting and we both work together for boarding in our home. We currently have 2 dogs of our own who are both rescues. Arthur is our 6 year old playful, loving lab mix and Taz is our 4 month old sassy pit mix puppy! We love caring for pets and are excited to spread the love to more doggy friends! You can count on us to be reliable, respectful, engaged, and loving to your pets. We will ensure that they get exercise and the love they need while under our care. We will make sure the environment is safe for all pets and make sure your pet has access to food and water at all times. We work from home full time and will make sure your pet has the necessary potty breaks they need and will not be left in a kennel all day long. We love dogs and are excited to provide a safe + comfortable place for your pet so you can enjoy your time away from home knowing your dog(s) is/are in good hands. Anthony and I work from home, which makes pet care fit very easily into our daily and weekly routine. We have 2 dogs of our own and we never leave them home alone longer than 4 hours. We have a fenced-in yard. The yard is safe and a great size to give your pet ample space to run around and exercise. We also have outdoor cameras to monitor if we are not outside with them.

8. Jaden B.
“I have never met someone who cares so much about animals, especially dogs! Unfortunately his dog passed away about 2 weeks ago now and this is most definitely the right gig for Jaden. Someone who has been close to this man and his dog I have never seen anything like it…. Trust me your beloved pet with be in great hands. A man who cares truly so much that I can personally guarantee he will act like it is very own best friend.”

12. Stephanie V.
“Stephanie was very good about keeping us informed. We got pictures, some of which are hilarious. Personally, I didn't believe her when she said TomTom missed us, but he sure was vocal when we came home! And it was all happy noises. Thanks!”
13. Lacey S.
“This is the first time we use Lacey and she was great. My 3 girls were well taken care of and happy when we got back. We will definitely be using her when we go out of town again.”
14. Shannon M.
“Shannon was awesome. When we first met her, she asked a lot of questions and really paid attention to Noslo. Since she was scheduled a few weeks in advance, as we got closer to the time scheduled, she reached out and was very easy to communicate with about our needs and Noslo's needs. Since we were going to be gone for long periods of time during the day, we set up times that she would come each day to give Noslo a break. She followed the plan and was able to play ball with Noslo and give him some attention to keep his mind off of us being gone for most of the day. She always kept us updated (even when we weren't responding to her messages) on what was going on and what Noslo was doing and feeling. She was very attentive to his needs and she really cared about how he felt. Although Noslo did miss us, we know that with Shannon stopping by and taking care of our baby during the day, he was able to expend some energy and I'm sure it eased some of his anxiety. We will be definitely requesting Shannon's services again!”
15. Paige M.
“Was so great squeezing us in last minute, went right over and let the dogs out. They had a blast with her, and she even messaged to get a towel to wipe their paws since it was wet out! Thank you!!!”
16. Heather H.
“Heather was awesome!!! Took lots of pictures and checked in on time. Will definitely have her again. Harper loved her. She even took him for quick walks in the freezing weather”
17. Karissa M.
“We absolutely adore Karissa and feel so relaxed when we need to go out of town. She is great with my boys and gives them so much love and attention!”
18. Ella S.
“Ella. Is. Amazing!!!! She did such a great job with our pups while we were away for a quick trip to KC. We usually travel with our dogs but this time we decided to have her check in on them three times a day and it worked out great! We set up a Ring camera in the house so we could watch them and one dog in particular, has some hip issues and we were worried about keeping him in a crate around the clock. It became obvious that he would be more comfortable out of the crate so Ella made that adjustment. She walked them, fed them, played with them in the snow and sent us pics of their adventures. I would HIGHLY recommend Ella for any of your pet care needs. ❤️❤️❤️”

About: Growing up I had 3 dogs and 1 cat so my passion for caring for animals quickly developed at a young age. I have two male cats and a male dog who is a registered emotional support animal. I wouldn’t trade mine for the world. I understand leaving your pets to go on vacation or visiting family is always nerve wrecking because you do not know the person. I’m here to make that experience so much easier by knowing your pets are in good hands. I’m picking up a side job currently to save up for my girlfriend’s graduation trip as they are graduating in December with their bachelors in social work! I work as a substitute associate for a school district however I accept jobs based on openings. I’m up by 5 a.m as I like to get an early start to my day- typically I work what is needed. I am available all day (unless I have a substitute job scheduled) and on weekends. Our fur babies are spoiled with lots of love and compassion, our dogs are very well trained and well our cats? Cannot be trained unfortunately lol.

“Priscilla loves dogs and happy helped us raise our litter of Great Pyrenees/Red Bone Coon Hound puppies. She was helpful in setting up our puppy area and keeping it clean. She came and helped me keep the puppies and Mom on their feeding schedule and did all our other chores as well. She lives her own animals and is very positive person.”
