“Rachael was a huge help! She was super nice and took great care of Maxwell for me. He got tons to cuddle time and plenty of walks. Rachael was punctual and sent updates throughout the day. She was very respectful and I could tell Maxwell enjoyed his time with her. We will certainly be reaching out again in the future!”
“Ms.Liz was so great with my Bogart. I couldn't even believe that my Bogart gave him kissess and plays with her which means, Ms.Liz is kind and can be trusted. She even sent me pictures and videos that kept myself from worrying about my baby. Now I know which one to call and can leave my baby safely. Highly recommended.. Thanks again Ms.Liz for taking care of my boy.. Me and Elmar appreciate it sooooo much.. Thank you a million times..😊😊😊🥰🥰🥰”

“My husband and I had the absolute blessing of meeting Kara when she cared for our furbabies, Brynn and Storm, when she recently stayed a full week in our home. They loved her and were comfortable with Kara right from the start. Kara is friendly, tenderhearted and affectionate, so no wonder they loved her! She was wonderfully responsible in everything. We really look forward to having Kara care for our furbabies again and again!”
“Kathleen was great, she took great care of my pup Dizzy. She played with her outside and was able to spend time at my house to keep her comfortable while I was gone. Kathleen sent pictures of my pup and stayed in communication with me throughout my vacation. There was an issue with my fish tank leaking and Kathleen caught it and let me know as soon as she saw it. This allowed me to come home and fix the issue and then continue my vacation. I would not hesitate to recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a sitter or to re-book in the future. This booking was my first time using Rover and I couldn't be happier with the results. Thanks again Kathleen.”

“All went as planned. In fact Jena went above the scope of the assignment and kept us updated . Very polite, Knowledgeable, and willing to assist in the care of our pet , plus giving us peace of mind”
About: I grew up on retired farm land, so I gained lots of experience raising and training several dog breeds, all sizes and ages. We rescued and fostered several dogs, cats, and rabbits over the years. As an adult I started fostering dogs and rabbits myself. Until recently, I was fostering primarily dogs. I have 2 shepheards and 2 pitbulls permanently placed in my home, as well as a dwarf rabbit. 2 of my dogs are trained and registered as service animals. I have a very adaptable home with lots of indoor/outdoor play space, as well as space to be separated as needed. I are very particular about keeping our food and water bowls clean with washing every day. I am happy to love you fur babies! There is rarely ever a time my pets are home alone. They all free roam and coexist peacfully, so I have a very calm house usually. We have a go out/walking schedule we follow to ensure proper exercise, as well as a secure feeding routine. My fiancé works full time, so I am the full time caretaker of the animals. Stranger pets in my home are introduced calmly and carefully, as to maintain a safe environment for all. Higher energy dogs meet my shepheards first, calmer animals meet my old boy first. My animals stay leashed infront of guests until a calmness has been reached. I have separate feeding bowls for all animals, water is communal as to resist territorial behavior. If calmness can not be reached, I have space to separate any unrully animals as needed. As a stranger in another animals home, I aproach very calmly and happily to respect their space. I am very adaptable to understanding and applying a feeding/walking schedule. Play time is always important, and my favorite part of the day! Lots of play time and pets are given to fur babies.
“Samantha was awesome! First time leaving our dogs with a sitter so we were a little nervous. However, her daily updates and pictures reassured us that they were well taken care of. She definitely learned their personalities and adjusted as needed. The framed pictures left for us at the end was perfect! I would highly recommend Samantha to anyone!”

Nija H.
“I had a family emergency out of state and needed someone to sit with my furry family member, Beemer. I used Nija to walk him previously and she told me if I ever needed a sitter, let her know. I called her frantic and she was accommodating to my request! I gave her the option to stay at my apartment or take him to her home; she opted to take him to hers. Throughout the week I was away, Nija sent me random pictures and short videos of Beemer playing, resting and simply just having fun being away. She said at first he seemed anxious but after a few hours, he seemed more relaxed and played with her doggie. We have used Nija's services on a frequent basis and she is a trust worthy person with my precious little one!”
