“Annie was great with our anxious pup! This was our first experience using Rover and Annie exceded our expectations. Although our dog was very nervous initially, she took her time with him and gave him a chance to warm up. Annie was very communicative and sent us lots of pictures during his stay, which eased our worries! Annie was honest in her communication with us about Cooper’s nerves, but positive about his stay. We felt like she understood his quirks and needs and set her expectations accordingly. He loved going on walks, playing in her backyard, and spending time in the community! We will use Annie again when Cooper is in the Indy area!”
About: I have grown up with dogs of different kinds in my family. I have also taken care of my friends' dogs and fostered. I love spending time with them, playing and walking- it gives my life a beautiful meaning. I have a dog now, and I realize how it feels to entrust someone the responsibility of taking care of your best friend. In your absence, I will take care of your furry family as my own and do whatever they need to make sure they are as happy as they can be! I can also provide any medicine if they require any. I am available on weekends and holidays. But I work very close to my home. So I can come and check on your furry friend if and when needed. At your home and while drop in visits, I can look after your dog according to your instructions. At my apartment, I can crate your dog while resting time and will walk them in adjacent areas. I can also take them to parks nearby.
“Chito had a blast with Faran and Buddy! Faran is absolutely amazing and took wonderful care of my dog and Buddy was the perfect companion for him. (Honestly, I think he was a little sad to come home after having so much fun!) I definitely recommend Faran if you're looking for someone who is in-tune with your dog's needs and will make sure your pup feels right at home while you're away!”
“David was awesome with Bubba! He sent constant videos so I always knew Bubba was happy and in good hands. He even managed to get him to take his medicine when it was being difficult, which I really appreciated. Very flexible with pick up and drop off times and super helpful whenever I needed anything. Would definitely recommend him and will be using him again!”
