“Shaun and Katie are fantastic! Their family played with and loved on my pup while I was away and sent me photos and videos. She had so much fun playing on their farm that it was like she was on her own vacation! Knowing she was being taken such good care of allowed us to enjoy our vacation even more. I’ve already rebooked them twice for this summer.”
“We don't leave our pups very often and with Briggs still being a puppy and still getting carsick we knew we couldn't bring them on our 16 hour road trip Kenneling them for a whole week seemed awful but luckily we found Angie who was willing to take them into her home for a full 8 days!!!! I was a little nervous leaving them with a stranger but Angie was AMAZING!!!! She sent videos and pictures everyday and they got to meet/ play with new friends. The best part?! They were never kenneled and both exhausted and happy when I picked them up! Angie cared for them like her own and we are beyond grateful for the care she gave them. If you ever need someone to love your pups, Angie is the best!”
“Just picked up my baby from "Grandma Wendy" and hes home and relaxing. Hankers always has a blast when he gets to go visit and play and run, and I have no worries in the world leaving my baby boy in such great hands. Already ready to book some more stays!”
“Bethany was so good to our aussie!! She kept us updated with photos and several messages!! Our pup looked so happy in every photo. Would 100% recommend booking with Bethany & I will be using her again!! 😊”
“Kaylene was a wonderful host & made my dog feel right at home. She was very accommodating & kept an open line of communication the entire time, it was a great peace of mind. We plan on using her again for many more future boarding needs”
“Kaylee was great! She sent updates daily and I knew our pup was being well taken care of. Communication was wonderful and they were so flexible with our plans changing due to winter weather. Was a great 1st time boarding experience for our puppy and will use them again when the time arises!”
“Thank you for accommodating us on short notice for a family funeral trip. Our dog was well loved and cared for in our absence. We can tell he had lots of fun too! We will reach out next time we need care for our four legged buddy.”
“Lindsay was terrific. Jason immediately felt comfortable in her home, climbing up on the coach and rolling around happily. She did a great job providing food and snuggles and walks.”
“We are very reluctant to leave our dogs with anyone and never board them, that is until we meet eric I contacted him due to his reviews on Rover and I'm so glad I did! He made an appointment with us to come put and meet the dogs before hand. Which helped calm me more than the dogs or eric, I'm sure. :) He's very claiming, laid back and very easy to work with. I left comfortable dropping the dogs off to him, knowing they were in great hands. He sent us pictures and videos while we were away. I would recommend him to anyone, anytime and will definitely use him everytime we need a fabulous dog sitter!”
“Jenny took great care of our dogs while we were out of town. Our dogs absolutely loved her and we were stress free leaving them with her the entire weekend. Thanks Jenny! :)”
“Could not have asked for a better pet sitter! He kept me updated with lots of pictures, communicated consistently, and made sure my dogs got plenty of exercise. I felt so comfortable leaving my dogs in his care. Truly a 10/10 will definitely book again and recommend to anyone.”
“Jennifer was A++! This was the first time leaving our pup as he's only 6 months old. She sent us daily updates of him, videos of him playing with her dog, and he came home tired. We didn't worry about our pup for one minute while we were away. We would definitely book her again to care for our little Rowdy ❤️ Can't thank her enough for taking such good care of him!”
About: I have been involved in caretaking pets through Rover, my private pet sitting business, and through local pet shelters over the course of three years. I have also pet sat for friends and relatives. I am very passionate about the well-being of all animals and have even received training at pet shelters in order to provide optimal care. I have a part time job but can easily provide pet sitting services. My job requires me to work 8 hour shifts two to three times per week. If my work schedule ever interferes with a scheduled visit, I offer additional visits that day free of charge. I love incorporating pet caretaking into my day to day life. It is a big priority for me. I want to care for the pets based on their individual needs. I am here to help you keep them moving and healthy while you are traveling or busy with other important things. I’m very flexible and willing to help however best fits your unique situation.
“Sasha is amazing. It's been an incredibly stressful week for me due to having to pack up and move. She was incredibly accommodating. She also took really good care of my senior IVDD dog. This is my first time using Rover and she's an excellent representative for them.”
“Deirdre was absolutely amazing. She sent many pictures and updates. After meeting her I felt completely comfortable and at ease leaving my Fur baby with her. Definitely recommend working with her!”
“Chelsey was a fantastic caretaker for Hawkeye while we were out of town! He loved her fenced in yard and all the walks she took him on. I loved that she sent photos and updates while we were away. She has a lovely home with a nice, fenced in backyard. We will definitely ask Chelsey to take care of our boy again!!”
“Emily was awesome to work with to meet our needs as a first timer needing dog sitting and with the meet and greet with Daisy! Daisy’s 5 day stay with Emily was great! We were very satisfied.”
