“Eden was amazing. They had great communication with me throughout the whole time they were taking care of my baby. Eden always kept me informed, sent a lot of pictures, and I felt reassured that Roberto was being taken care of very well! My only concern is that Roberto likes Eden more than me 😂”



“Taylor was wonderful! She kept me updated everyday and sent lots of pictures! She gave me peace of mind while we were gone. I will definitely ask her to take care of my 3 cats when we go out of town again :)”


“Shawna was so kind and attentive to my girl Athena! She even watered some plants she noticed were dry!! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for pet care :) This was my first time using rover so I was nervous but it truly couldn't have worked out better!!”


About: I grew up in a household that rarely had less than 3 dogs at a time. I love all types of dogs - big, small, mutt or purebred - they all have hearts of gold. Contact me if your pup (or any other fur babies) needs some extra attention (either in-home or in my home), exercise, or boarding! All breeds/sizes/ages welcome. Your pet will receive plenty of care, attention and love. I have extensive experience working with anxious pups. My parents’ dog shakes/cries at any loud noise, the smell of bacon cooking (yes, really... makes her think of the smoke detector going off), etc. I’ve always been able to calm her down. I have also worked with skittish and aggressive dogs. My friend has a pup that bites/barks at almost everyone, but he now cuddles up and cries of excitement whenever I come over. I am currently self-employed, and my schedule is very flexible. I can work with your schedule. I also accept last minute bookings as well, so don't hesitate to reach out! I live in a spacious duplex and welcome boarding. Animals are allowed to explore and are allowed on the furniture if they so choose. I am more than happy to house-sit too--I can travel upwards of 50 miles for stays and I always leave homes in the same condition I found them.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and have helped with whelping, shots, to finding them new homes. I have trained dogs also! I will always treat them as my own and they will be well socialized. I am currently working full time at a family owned business. I am free from Friday-Sunday every weekend. I can take smaller dog with me to work (30#) or less. I have 30 wooded acres in the country. I have a large yard, not fenced but have a wireless collar system if I need to use it. I have a 4 year old chocolate lab neutered male, he is very playful and loves other dogs. I have 3 kids ages 10,7,2. Who I have taught to respect all animals and know the responsibility of taken care of them. I am willing to meet to pick up and drop off also.

“Brittany is amazing with our 3 dogs (2 pit mixes and a schipperke) and 2 cats. She took such great care of them during our trip, followed our instructions and provided us with updates. We could tell that they loved her being there with them. All in all, we're blown away by the service we received and continue to receive with Brittany.”

We have felt super confident having her watch our two dogs!

She is definitely the person to hire!”

Megan loves animals and it truly shows by her care for them. Whether it is taking them out to potty or snuggling them in the evening, she does it all because she really cares about their well being!”
