“John continues to be dependable and always keeps in contact while Toby is with him. I love getting photos each day and assurance that Toby is doing well and getting love and exercise. I will continue to bringing Toby to him.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was extremely nervous. Lydia was amazing with my pups , she sent updates, videos and pictures the whole time. We will definitely be using her for all our trips out of town from now on. I would give 10 stars if I could!!!”
“Charlotte & her dog Lupin were both very welcoming to my shy 7mo pup, helped her feel at home & she had so much fun! I was nervous about boarding her for the first time, but Charlotte definitely knows what she’s doing and cares a lot about making guests comfortable. I got lots of adorable pics of my pup having a great time in their yard & dog den. 10/10, highly recommend!”
“Cheryle and Henry were undeniably the BEST dogsitters we’ve ever used. They cared for our little Sophie like she was their own. Sophie doesn’t eat much whenever we are gone, but this was the first time she actually ate her food. That told us that she was comfortable with them. They sent us photos so we could see how she was doing along with daily text updates. We are so grateful to them for loving and caring for our sweet Sophie. We look forward to using them again.”
“I cannot say enough about Paula. We were traveling from out of state and Paula was so flexible with the time of pick up and drop off. I felt a good energy from her messages, home, and little pup right away. We have had our fair share of lousy dog sitters and this is the first time i have felt inclined to write a review. Paula communicated with me more than any other dog sitter ever has. I never had to wonder what my pups were up to or if they were safe. We will absolutely link up with Paula again!”
About: i’ve taken care of pets for lots of friends and family, along with neighbors! I also have grew up with cats and have two of my own! I worked a vet clinic taking care of the pets in boarding to! I have tons of years of experience! :) I stay home full time, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your babies and play/love on them! We also have 4 sweet babies of our own, that can be played with or put up pure your request! I walk pets outside with leash to insure no one gets away or hurt! I also have 4 sweet babies of my own for your fur babies to play with, but can accommodate to your needs if needed or requested!
“Best. Sitter. EVER. I've tried and been happy (or not) with many boarders, but Jody goes way above and beyond. She's not just knowledgeable and reassuring, she's sweet and kind and will love your fur babies for you. I live in Roanoke, whereas she's in Moneta. But this was such a blessing!! I wanted somewhere Harriet could run and play and feel free and happy. Jody delivers this in a big way- she has several yards of varying sizes with over animals to play with. I kept telling my girl she was going to summer camp, and it turned out to be so true. I don't think she even missed me that much! Please don't let the distance deter you. Jody even offers pickup and drop off services. Harriet gets so anxious going to a boarder's house, but as soon as Jody pulled up, Harriet started wagging her tail and jumped right in her car before I could say goodbye. She's with the dogs all the time- you won't be leaving your pup with someone who leaves them alone. Harriet is very social, and I can tell from just the pictures and videos that her physical, mental, and emotional needs are being met in every way. Please seriously consider Jody- she's phenomenal. I don't really want to tell you this because I want to keep her all to myself, but that would be a gross injustice. She's the best. I won't even consider anyone else again- I'll just move my vacation plans around.”
About: Homemade treats and lots of love and fun! We enjoy playing at home, going for long walks, playing at the dog park, riding with the windows down, belly rubs, kisses and cuddles. I don’t mind taking to the vet or pet stores to be of more help to you. Enjoy light grooming and brushing with your approval. No matter the size, they are all puppies or kitties to me lol. I even have jumps and hoops for the active pups who like to jump and have a good time. I can give meds and special diets when needed. I have many referrals.i have two daughters who both work for rover as well. We would love to spend time with your babies and give them love and attention I am a stay at home mom that works one day a week i am free to love and care for your babies while you are away. I am willing to crate when you ask me to but prefer time out of crate to spend with your babies. Nothing like playing ball or cuddling. Whatever your pet need, I’m available.

She'll be on top of my list of sitters to reach out to in the future.”
