About: I’ve taken care of animals for more than half my life. Which has grown into building my own passion serving animals in many ways. I care for animals locally, will travel up to 50 miles, can provide care inside your home, provide walks, give rides to the vet office or groomer, I can give medications, bathe your animal in your home, and I can provide fun fulfilling adventures and activities! With having a flexible schedule I can focus on providing quality care to your pet/pets. 7 days a week with flexible morning, afternoon and evening hours. I’m able to care for pets inside of your home. Rather this needs to be letting them out into a fenced in yard, walking them off property or on property, taking them out of or putting them into a crate/ kennel. Crate cleanup if needed and dog poo cleanup from your yard each time I have a visit.
“I am more than happy with the service provided by Megan (and Scott). I asked they take Frank on a walk because he had been crated for a few hours, feed him and just hang out for a while. They went beyond, by taking him on 2 walks, sending several pictures of a smiley happy dog and communicating throughout the visit what Frank was up to. They are friendly, knowledgeable about dogs and training, timely and reliable. We were at ease being gone for so long knowing Frank was in good hands. I will absolutely use them again when we need someone to take care of our boy.”

Frances B.
“I know Fran Bovee to be an excellent animal lover! She has always had a dog and sometimes a cat. Many times taking care of strays and rescuing wildlife. She even makes habitat for animals. Personally, I have left my dogs in her care both at her house and as a care at mine while I am gone. When I am on vacation she would be my go to for taking care of the chickens as well. What I love most about Fran is that she has taken on my children as her own grandchildren and goes way above and beyond caring for them. I know Fran also takes care of many other pets for people, has been trusted to watch homes, and has many times worked with elderly in a multitude of ways. The last time I came to visit her she was actually sad that I did not bring my dog with me. I believe Fran to be an excellent candidate to work for Rover!”
Diego R.
“Diego has always been amazing with my beagle, Jewel. As a National Guard Soldier I often had weekends where I would be away from home at Drill. He would care for her like she was royalty. Jewel would get her daily exercise, was always fed the appropriate amount (and kept on her diet) even with her food restrictions, and was always returned to me as a VERY happy pup. He even gave her a bath for me once when she got very muddy while they were playing outside.”

Linda N.
“Linda has been our pet sitter for several years now. She is absolutely amazing with our dog Bronco who is a pit bull mix and our 3 cats. Because of her vet tec background I know my fur babies will get their meds property and without any issues. She treats them as if they were her own pets, even buying them a Christmas present or two during the holidays. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who need a sitter for a long trip or just drop ins for a daily walk.”
