“To Whom It May Concern: I am writing this with unqualified enthusiasm to attest to Avery Cooper's exceptional qualities as a dog parent. In all my years of working with pet owners, I have rarely encountered someone who demonstrates such extraordinary dedication, compassion, and understanding of canine care. Ms. Cooper's approach to dog parenting goes far beyond meeting basic needs – she creates an enriching, structured, and loving environment that allows dogs to truly thrive. Her home is thoughtfully organized with designated play areas, comfortable resting spots, and carefully selected toys that promote both physical activity and mental stimulation. The extensive fenced yard has been transformed into a safe, engaging space where dogs can explore and exercise freely. What truly sets Avery apart is her remarkable ability to understand and respond to each dog's individual personality and needs. She maintains detailed records of their health, exercise, and dietary requirements, scheduling regular veterinary check-ups and grooming appointments with impressive diligence. Her knowledge of canine behavior and training techniques is extensive, and she consistently applies positive reinforcement methods that build trust and confidence in her dogs. The daily routine she maintains is nothing short of exemplary. Rain or shine, her dogs receive multiple walks, engaging play sessions, and training exercises that keep them physically fit and mentally sharp. She prepares balanced, nutrient-rich meals tailored to each dog's specific dietary needs and health conditions. During my visits, I've observed how her dogs respond to her with obvious joy and well-mannered enthusiasm – a clear testament to her excellent leadership and nurturing care. Perhaps most impressive is Avery's commitment to continued education in pet care. She regularly attends workshops, consults with animal behavior specialists, and stays current with the latest research in canine health and wellness. Her home library contains an extensive collection of resources on dog care, training, and behavior management. The bond between Avery and her dogs is truly special to witness. They exhibit all the hallmarks of secure, well-adjusted pets: confident, sociable, and impeccably behaved. This is no accident, but rather the direct result of Avery's unwavering dedication to providing the best possible care and environment for her furry family members. Without reservation, I can state that any dog would be fortunate to be placed in Avery Cooper's care. Her combination of knowledge, dedication, and genuine love for animals makes her an exemplary dog parent in every sense of the term.”
7. Kristi E.
“Kristi is a wonderful sitter! She took great care of my two pups and my home as well. We would love to have her back if we ever need a sitter again. She provided plenty of updates while I was away and was clearly very knowledgeable with dogs.”
8. Meredith G.
“I have known Meredith for more than 10 years, and I can honestly say that I have never known anyone more caring and knowledgeable about animals of all kinds. I think it’s something that has always been inside of her, and it shows in her chosen field as a conservation biologist. She would not even so much as hurt the tiniest spider! And to this day, I am 100% confident that she saved the life of our kitten, Nino, by doing the research and finding the medication that would cure his problems, when not even our vet could figure it out. If Meredith is taking care of your family’s pet members, she will provide them the best possible care, next to you!”
9. Alexandria E.
“Booked on short notice in a holiday period and was still more than able to accommodate, did exactly what I needed done and at a great quality, would recommend.”
10. Makayla S.

11. Sydney B.
“Great communication and care for our baby!”
12. Julie K.
“Julie is amazing. She sent pictures of eat visit; she followed instructions to the letter, and I could tell that my pups were safe, cared for, and happy to be at home.”
13. Talisa S.
About: I’ve fostered for different shelters in TX for 2 years now. All different variety of dogs from tiny puppies to seniors. I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and have really grown to love them. I Can train puppies to do basic obedience skills, and help them learn how to properly be on a leash. This is my only job as well as being a student. With most of my classes being online, I am free pretty much all day everyday! Safety is always my number one priority. I will care for your sweet baby as if it was my own. I will have a list of questions to be asked prior to the appointment, so I can make sure to make the proper adjustments and precautions.
14. Kate M.
About: I’ve been caring for pets of all types my whole life, and I have been working for a professional pet sitting company for 2 years, so I’ve had extensive personal and profession pet care experience. I also have been fostering kittens for 4 years, so I have extensive experience on all ages of kittens including neonatal. Over the winter break, I am available nearly 24/7. Whenever I am scheduled for my other job, the shifts are usually 1.5-4.5 hours, so not a big issue for pet sitting for others on Rover. I treat animals exactly how I would treat my own children; with patience, care, and most importantly love. I have a deep respect for animals and am willing to whatever it takes to make your pets happy and comfortable. I own multiple cats and 2 dogs who are all very spoiled:)
15. Javeon M.
“No complaints. Javeon was very nice and friendly when we first met to go over everything. Dogs seemed happy to see her from the photos she sent during her visit. Would book with her again.”
16. Daniel E.
“Daniel is a true animal lover, he’s rescued a cat and a dog. He takes great care of his (2) cats and very energetic dog. We’ve had him care for our dog Ruby and she’s always so excited to see him.”
