“Always excellent communication- with loads of photos and updates- it gives me peace of mind when I travel that my boys are well taken care of.”
2. Angela H.
“Angela did a fantastic job taking care of our furry babies while we were gone. She gave us detailed check-ins during every visit with photos, making us feel confident they were getting the attention they needed while we were away. Angela was so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend! Plus our house looked great and animals were happy. Thank you!”
3. Bethany M.
“Bethany took great care of our Golden Retreiver and the daily check-in comments and pictures were proof! Thank you, I would highly recommend using her again.”
4. Janie S.
“She rocks! My little border collie mix, Sweetie, is a super fun dog but she has the energy of a thousand suns. I know it can be a little intimidating to work with a dog like her. But Janie just went for it! Walks all over the place and lots of fetch and swimming. And the pictures that she sends make me smile enough to know that Sweetie is well taken care of while I'm at work and doesn't have to sit at home being bored out of her mind. I am SO happy I got Janie!”
5. Kelcy & Keenan M.
“Kelcy and Keenan do a great job! This is the third time I’ve used them. My kitty does really well with them- they have bonded, which is hard to do with cats. I’m in process of booking again!”
6. Danica C.
“Danica took great care of our cat Felix while we were gone! She sent a few pics and little updates with each visit that were nice to receive while were we gone for the week! Will definitely book with her again!”

“Shannon was so great with our dogs! They loved her from the meet and greet. 😍 She was so attentive and communication was great. Will definitely recommend her to our friends needing someone to watch their fur buddies.”
10. Alexa V.
“Alexa is fantastic and very reliable! We love having her help out with drop ins and walks for our pup, Nellie. Alexa’s report cards and photos show how well cared for our puppy is when we’re not able to spend time with her. Alexa’s very attentive, helpful, on-time, a great communicator and goes above and beyond with every visit. We highly recommended!”
11. Renee R.
“Renee went above and beyond on her drop-in visit to check in on our two cats while we were away! Very detail oriented, easy to communicate with, and seems to genuinely enjoy spending time with new fur friends. Will definitely book again!”
12. Adrianna S.
“Adrianna is amazing and caring. She consistently gave me updates and fun notes about every visit. I could tell from the pictures the dogs were having a great time. I was able to really enjoy my vacation because I knew my dogs were taken care of. Would recommend anytime, and top of my list for animal sitter. ☘️”
13. Alisa S.
“We booked Alisa for a long trip we had planned. (9 days) From the very first meet & greet, my kitties were relaxed, curious and friendly with her. She did an awesome job. She arrived on time, and from the photos, I could see the cats were curious and slowly getting to know her. She gave me just enough little commentary to know all was well and to bring me a few smiles. She reached out with a couple of relevant questions. She also made our homecoming so great...all the trash was taken out, she vacuumed up the kitty litter that they always spill out, and it was clear that they were happy campers. Thanks so much Alisa, we look forward to having you back when we travel again.”
14. Mandy H.
“A great experience to have Mandy check in on my Otis. Thanks, Mandy!”
15. Crystal L.
“This is our first time hiring Crystal. Feeding our cats is kind of crazy/complicated. However Crystal did a great job with that and everything else. Sent texts and pics each day. We will definitely hire her in the future.”
16. Christian T.
“Christian is very adaptable to my dog’s needs!”
17. Billie G.
“Thank you Billie for taking great care of Ziggy! You must be special because he never interacts with strangers, but you two became pals from the very first day! I really appreciated the daily reports and photos of Ziggy while I was away.”
18. Aaron B.
“Aaron did a marvelous job caring for our little cat! We are so thankful for him helping us while we were out of town. Aaron was very caring and thorough and did everything we asked for our little guy. We received a summary of their time together for each visit and soo many sweet pictures of our kitty! I highly recommend contacting Aaron for all your pet needs. We will absolutely be booking with him again. Thank you Aaron <3”
19. Justine B.
“Justine was a great dog sitter! She was really attentive and made sure to text daily pictures with updates. Her yard is a great size and provided a lot of room for our active dog! Wouldn’t hesitate to leave my doggo with her again.”
20. Amber T.
About: I’ve had many pups in my life but right now I do not have any pups living in my home. I’ve been enjoying spending time with all my rover friends! My home has a fenced backyard and a common area dog run. I work from home so I will be around to play, give treats and go on walks all day! Dogs are allowed on the furniture and beds here. Working from home means I will be hanging with the pups almost all day every day except for errands. Walks every couple hours and lots of snuggles on the couch! There are no children in the home. I have a fenced yard for running and playing. I have a large kennel/crate inside the house in case your pup needs it and have lots of toys and dog beds for lounging. Stop by for a meet and greet if you would like before booking! I am also a short or long term house sitter. Working remote makes it easy for me to come into your home and stay with your furry friends. How nice and stress free it is for them get to stay in their home while you are away! My many references have all stated that upon returning to their home it looked precisely as it did when they left. I will treat your home with respect, and I am happy to water plants, bring in mail, care for fish/reptiles, or anything else you may need. I typically only leave the house for an hour or so a day to use the gym down the road. The pups are free to roam my home as if it was their own while I am out. Doors stay locked and no one enters unless the pets are secured so no one darts out the door! Food stays off countertops so there are no human snacks available to be snuck. Poop is scooped after every go!
